Dragonball : Super Raditz

After 16 was powered down and lying on the ICU bed, Bulma connected the code burner and checked a few things.

Then swiftly disabled them one by one expect for one thing which she couldn't disable.

"There, I have turned off everything, location, sensors, cache history."

"But I cannot turn off the explosive in his chest, if the android siblings have that too, then it's bad news."

Nodding subtly Raditz silently kept on monitoring the sideloaded code, after Bulma did some final touches and all of them turned green, Raditz smiled.

"Anything which can compromise our position is turned off?"

Asked Raditz while touching android 16's left chest, this is where the explosive is located.

Bulma replied while fixing up her hair and detaching the code burner from 16.

"Yes, all problems are solved temporarily, we can do what you actually wanted to do now."

Raditz chuckled, he didn't ask how Bulma figured out he had other things in mind and didn't want to tell 16 the entire thing.

This was future Bulma and he was the past Raditz, a tactic understanding of this level is normal.

"We take apart 16 completely, Gero has a habit of attaching extra memory cores as backup."

"But they aren't possible to modify using simple code, it's a physical process."

"So we solve what we can here, then take him home and do the rest."

Bulma kept working and nodded along, she knew that had to be a main reason on Raditz's part.

He didn't want the androids to know what level of modification was going to be done on them, and it wasn't about secrecy either.

It was a defence against what Gero could have done to them, Raditz had sensed the explosives in their chests, those explosives could have any number of condition attached to them.

'Conditions which might be along the lines of anti tampering protection.'

Bulma knew if Gero was really serious about making killer Android's, having measures against changing the code was a decision he will always do.

"Done! I have removed what I can, let's go."

Nodding lightly Raditz grabbed onto his future wife and 16, then focused on the position of capsule corporation's lab.

Although instant transmission works with sensing Ki, having a clear idea on where one wants to go plus the Ki of the environment around that place can work as a good substitute.

That's what Raditz was using since the moment he had to fight the androids, a type of enemy he couldn't sense.

"Found it, get ready."

*Siwsh*

Appearing back into the lab, Bulma coordinated herself and Raditz kept 16 on the bench, hooking him with destabilizers to eliminate any semblance of control Gero might have.

As Bulma started opening up android 16 further, Raditz backed away and spoke lightly.

"You handle this on your own for a bit, I will go and meet Satan."

"If you need me just give me a call, I'll take one of the satellite phones."

Pausing for a while Bulma continued after she went over the possibility of such an action, it was definitely doable.

"Okay, I think I'll be fine, see, the android siblings even split up."

"That 17 is holing up in an island, and 18 is running around a restaurant, does she want to eat?"

Watching the android slowly look at the food and eat it in large bites, Bulma murmered.

"To feel more human perhaps? She must have seen the people hiding around the area right?"

"She didn't attack them yet, that's some progress, haha, it's funny how this entire thing could have been avoided if you and Goku didn't die."

Bulma laughed a little sadly, but quickly cheered herself up again, at least it was over now.

Raditz lightly squeezed Bulma's shoulder for support and then let go, she was a tough girl, she will handle herself well.

"It's over now.."

After a pause Raditz continued with a bit more cheerfull tone.

"I'll get this done as soon as possible, so we can spend the remaining time together."

"I'll be here for a while after all."

That definitely lit up Bulma's eyes, and her hands relaxed, giving a smile to him Bulma fixed her hair and kept working, but now she had a smiling face.

*Swish*

Vanishing swiftly Raditz looked around, he was now in the sky, looking down at Satan and a bunch of people hiding together.

Satan was leading the team, with loud and brash statements but Raditz knew him well enough to know, he must be shaking in his boots right now.

"Men! We must bide our time! I'll defeat the androids! Mr. Raditz had told me, he's working to kill them as we speak!"

'This guy, he's pulling my name even when I am dead?'

Satan's words were enthusiastic but the crowd seemed unsure, Satan's been saying the same thing for as long as the android's have been around.

Now people were beginning to become shaken, Satan's back was also sweating from the lack of response, he knew he had milked Raditz's name for all it was worth.

'What do I do?! They'll kill me if they knew I have been messing with them the entire time!'

One of the fierce looking men finally made up his mind and interrupted Satan's speech.

"Mr Satan.. we would like to meet Champion Raditz, after the news for his death was released, no one has seen him."

"Although we believe you, but it's been too long, I hope you understand our concerns."

The fierce looking man spoke elegantly, making a sharp contrast appear, but Satan wasn't in the mood to admire this.

He knew this man, a scholar who had become rugged during the days of android fiasco, the man had a ruthless heart.

Satan was always wary of this man and now he seems to be in big trouble!

"I- Of course! I have him on call! I'll call him right away! I just need to go to the toilet once!"

Satan wanted to use the age old trick of slipping away, but the man spoke up.

"We would prefer if you called Champion Raditz before us first, for a big guy such as yourself, I am sure you can hold it in for a while."

*Shiver*

Satan shivered from the changing eyes of the crowd and slowly started backing away.

The crowd seems to have known he would do that and began approaching him, slowly trapping him into a circle.

"Wait! We can talk about this!"

Satan said shakily, he might get out of here but now was the last of days, anyone who could survive this was a ruthless man, Satan would lose a limb of two making a break.

He didn't want to do that in these times, a broken man meant a dead man during these times.

"There's nothing to stop Satan, we have a reason to believe you have been playing with our feelings."

"Now, handover the keys to the villa, Satan-"

*Whooosh*

The group instantly got on guard and began seeking cover, these kind of sounds were from androids flying and everyone who had survived till today knew to hide when they arrived.

But the sound was too close so not everyone could leave quickly, and those who didn't looked up desperately at their demise.

And those who could hide at least a little bit clenched their teeth and tried to make themselves as quite as possible.

"Champion!!! Champion Raditz!!!!"

But the quietness was broken by the exclamation by the crowd which remained.

Promoting them to look up shakily, and when they did, similar exclamations echoed throughout the area.

"Champion! He is here! Satan didn't lie to us!"

"Sorry Mr Satan, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me, I only wanted the best for everyone."

The fierce looking scholar bowed to Satan once and then excitedly brought out his Raditz plushie, it was beaten up but it was the thing that kept him going all this time.

"Mr Raditz! Please save us! Please bring back Saiyaman justice!"

The scholar seems to have gone back to the days when he was just an otaku, gone was his ferocity, now he was just a fan wanting his idol to save him from hell.

It wasn't only him, everyone was extremely happy, and most of all Satan was happy, he was almost crying from happiness, now he wouldn't have to die!

"Mr Raditz, I did everything I can!"

Said Satan, attempting to get close to Raditz, who twitched his lips, he knew exactly what Satan did.

"Yeah.. I know all about it Satan, how 'good' you did, we will talk about that later."

Sweating once more, Satan trembled and looked at Raditz with a crying expression which Raditz promptly ignored.

He focused his attention on the crowd, most specifically the scholar.

"I am back, sorry it took so long, the androids are now my problem."

"I have seem you all, you did well, now Saiyaman is here, but too many have been lost, Saiyaman titan is dead."

Nappa's demise hit the scholar hard, he stumbled back, Saiyaman titan was the second best Saiyaman besides Saiyaman prime!

Those damn androids!

"It is as you think, I am back but I can't do this alone, in my absence the entire Saiyaman cast has been wiped out."

*Gasp*

"So.. I need your help, can you, become the next Saiyaman!?"

Pointing towards the fierce scholar Raditz asked passionately, which made the crowd excited murmur.

The man is particularly was almost red from excitement, and Raditz looked on with a holy look to him.

All the while thinking that the first step in introducing Ki to the new Earth was done, before he returns, he'll make sure everyone knows Ki at least to some degree.

Zamasu will be in for a nasty surprise if Earthlings manage to weaponize ki as well as they do other things.
