The Saiyan Priestess

Chapter 3: Uncle Raditz

After Raditz captured Tengoku, he landed on the crashed pod where he landed there with the spaceship. Raditz made sure he doesn't let her escape with his strong grip as he waited for his brother to make decisions rather if he kill humans by joining him or betraying his kind.

"Uncle Raditz," the young half-breed spoke up, "Go find us something to eat. I'm hungry." She ordered, ignoring how Raditz growled fiercely at her.

"Runt, I am not your slave," Raditz grumbled, already annoyed with the girl's excessive crying, "I'll put you in the spaceship or something." His ears were starting to ring from the loud noise.

"But I don't think you can put me in the spaceship. I know how to find a way to get out of the pod."

He scoffed, grinning at his niece. "Like how?"

Tengoku grinned back. "With my power, of course."

He scowled. "There is no way you could get out of there. Besides, you are still a toddler and you don't know how to use them."

She giggled. "I bet I'll prove it to you when you put me there."

"Will you stop being a smartass and be silent for one second!" He shouted at her, but she didn't flinch. This girl was somehow different, but she wasn't scared of anything. She looked like a brave little warrior. Raditz couldn't help but gaze at the young girl who looked familiar to him. She reminded him of his mother Gine. Little unknown, he hasn't seen his mother for a long time ago because of the Frieza Force. He guessed he wished she would have been alive when Planet Vegeta wasn't destroyed.

"And you should know better than to cross me, brat! Didn't your parents ever teach you to be respectful to elders?" Raditz continued, glaring at the little four-year girl.

"You don't look too old to me, Uncle Raditz. You're still young as ever." Tengoku replied, grinning.

"Ugh, you're so annoying, brat. There is no time to be made fun of! You are my prisoner, so act like one!"

She gave him a look. "I don't think I could act like one, Uncle Raditz. This play act is boring."

"Why you!" When he was about to smack her for being a smart mouth, he stopped to see the flashing in his eyes to see his mother Gine was scolding him, which Tengoku still reminded him of her. Although, Tengoku has dark gray eyes and black short hair. She also has a tail as he has. He felt the sadness and introspection in his eyes while gazing at her dark gray.

"What is your name, anyway? I didn't get your name." Raditz cleared his throat, changing the subject.

"Tengoku."

"Tengoku... Huh, such a good name for the Saiyan warrior." He muttered curiously. Then he scowled with a bit of laughter, "At least Kakarot got something right in regards to his legacy without knowing. Listen, go to the pod while I'll confront your father? Would you do that for me, Tengoku?"

She nodded. "Yes."

Then he let her go enter the pod while Raditz waited for his brother to arrive. Raditz was then surprised to find that his scouter reported a power level of 710 for Tengoku, which he dismissed as a malfunction because it would mean that the child was even stronger than her father. Shortly afterward, Raditz finally saw Goku and Piccolo who have joined forces to beat him, and since his scouter accurately warned him of their approach, he realized that Tengoku may actually be as strong as his reading said.

Seeing that Goku has not only refused to join him but also brought Piccolo as a reinforcement, Raditz declared his younger brother a shame to their race and sentences him to death.
