Walking towards Raditz with newfound confidence Krillin rubbed his nose with a flaunting attitude.
But then the wave of energy exhibited by Raditz hit him again and he remembered he isn't that hot after all.
" What brought you here Raditz? Up for a spar? "
Grinning lightly Krillin asked Raditz for a rematch, sure he is half as strong but he has made lots of preparations to deal with stronger foes.
" Spar? That would be great but Bulma is coming and she is already angry enough, I don't think keeping her waiting is a good idea. "
Scrunching up his face at the memory of Bulma roaring with rage Krillin also gave up the spar plan.
Rubbing the back of his head Krillin called Raditz in, they were standing on the edge for a while now.
" That's a bummer, why's she angry anyway? Is that why you are here? "
Shrugging his shoulders, Raditz walked along with Krillin while trying to sense other strong presences in the lookout.
" She's been like that since she found out I am going to be a dad, and I am here to call you guys for the world martial arts tournament. "
Stumbling away a few steps Krillin looked at Raditz with shock.
" A dad?! No way! Is it Bulma?! Then why is she angry?? Is it someone else?? "
Scratching his head Raditz brought his hand upwards and made a hand sign, he didn't need to but why the hell not.
* Pooof *
In Raditz's place Pie pie appeared, who floated in air like it was water.
" It's her, the mother of my child, I figured it was good news but Bulma's being a pain, I hope you don't start as well. "
Gulping his throat at the drop dead beauty before him, Krillin nodded his head.
" I get how you became a dad. "
Murmured Krillin as Raditz transformed back into himself and walked along.
He could sense they were walking towards power levels comparable to Krillin.
And Krillin meanwhile made more small talk.
" World martial arts tournament huh? This sure takes me back.. "
" But I don't think I can make it this time around, the Saiyan's are almost here I gotta train some more. "
Giving a small shrug Raditz accepted the argument, he had already expected this before.
Krillin meanwhile searched around for anyone and pulled Raditz down, who looked confused and lowered his head.
Reaching for Raditz's ear, Krillin whispered.
" Are there anymore mermaids around your wife? A friend maybe..? "
Taking his ear away from Krillin, Raditz looked at him with confusion.
" Huh? No she's the sole mermaid in her area, I haven't asked about any of her friends, what's this all about? "
Laughing with embarrassment, Krillin made a half joke half truth statement.
" Hey, Goku's got a kid, now you have a kid, I am starting to feel lonely here! I can't wait around for long. "
Nodding his head Raditz spoke without concealment.
" So want to get it on with a mermaid? Alright, I'll ask Pie pie if she knows someone. "
Krillin gave a large smile full of giddiness.
" Thanks man! I owe you one! "
" Don't mention it- "
* Beep *
* Beep *
* Beep *
" 7100? Is this the triclops? "
Both had walked upto the sitting area by now, so Krillin didn't have to answer because Raditz had already turned towards Tien.
Tien also turned towards Raditz with fighting spirit in his eyes, he didn't even falter sensing Raditz's 10000 plus power level.
' That's new, there's more to him than pure desire to fight, a desire to prove himself? Maybe it's his Tri beam. '
While Raditz was confident, he wasn't confident enough to fight against Tien if the guy had his cell saga Tri beam.
Tien had no business holding cell down for even a single second much less how long he did, anyone less powerful would be grilled to oblivion.
' I want that attack, time to steal some techniques. '
' Hmm? Can't do it from far, he's powered up too much for that, gotta go up close. '
* Click *
Cracking his knuckles, Raditz walked upto Tien with a smirk on his face.
" I don't like that look you are giving me Triclops. "
Narrowing his all of eyes, Tien stood up with his muscles bulging.
" Yeah, what are you going to do about it? "
A deep laughter emanated from Raditz's throat as his hair began to defy gravity.
Tien wasn't behind either, his gi was fluttering as his power was being stimulated, he was ready to brawl.
" Wow wow wow easy there, let's not destroy the lookout man. "
Yamcha got up and tried to pacify the situation, and Krillin put his hands around Raditz too.
" Come on! Bulma's almost here, and don't you have to tell them the news! "
This although didn't stop the glaring contest between Raditz and Tien, it did cool down the situation somewhat.
Tien understood that this isn't the time, and Raditz having already stolen the technique from Tien by now, had no interest in standing face to face.
" ..We will settle this later, or we can do it in a while if you are coming to the world martial arts tournament. "
" It's today, I was here to inform, anyone wanna join in? Or I'll win this too easily. "
Backing up Tien sat down beside Chiaotzu and looked up at Raditz without any fear.
" I'll join, I am already as strong as I can get right now, one more month isn't going to do much, might as well get some actual battle experience against a Saiyan. "
Tien's challenge was gladly accepted by Raditz, as it was shown by his confident smirk.
Yamcha also spoke, but he wasn't interested in going.
" Naah man, I can't go right now, I am very close to improving my technique, sorry. "
Waving his hand Raditz let it go, he expected everyone to not go, Tien was a surprise.
But another one was also remaining.
" What about you Chiaotzu? "
Chiaotzu even after being called out was silent, then looked up with a bit of heartbreak.
" I am not able to keep up with you guys.. Kami says I haven't reached my limit yet but I am not improving fast enough, I won't go, I want to train some more. "
This was a surprise for both Tien and Raditz, both expected Chiaotzu to stick around Tien, but that goes to show how he too didn't want to be left behind.
" It's alright Chiaotzu, I'll win the tournament for both of us. "
" Thanks Tien! "
* Woooosh *
Turning towards the abrupt sound, the z fighters found a yellow blue flying machine landing on the lookout.
The machine had 'RB' crossed out besides the capsule corporation logo, it was this machine which Raditz and Bulma had upgraded together.
* Click *
The cockpit opened and Bulma stepped out of it with an exhausted face.
Meanwhile Raditz and the Z fighters had walked upto her and Raditz twisted his brows looking at the crossed out RB.
" Why did you cross it out? That's our machine, wasn't it like a symbol to show that? "
Looking at Raditz with an incensed look Bulma walked upto him and yelled loudly.
" You jerk!!! Why didn't you tell me you were a dad?! "
" Oo boy.. "
" Raditz is a dad?! "
" That's rough buddy. "
" ... "
Krillin, Chiaotzu, Yamcha and Tien all had different reactions after this information drop.
Raditz meanwhile closed his ears and looked annoyed.
" Why are you screaming on my face, and I told you as soon as I knew okay, what's it with you. "
As if powering up Bulma's hair floated up from sheer rage.
" What's it with me?!? Ugh!!!! "
The z fighters looked at each other and silently made distance, they were not going to get involved with this.
