Constant Headache -- DBZ x M!Reader (REWRITING EARLIER CHAPTERS/ON HOLD)

The Screw that gets Tightened

Y/N POV

He woke up with a splitting headache in the middle of a field of flowers. It felt like there was a screw being stabbed through my skull as he sat up. He couldn't remember any of what had occurred before he woke up, only his name and a massive ball of energy hurtling towards him, and then nothing.. Just... nothing. One minute the sky is red and falling and everything's evaporating and the next, nothing.

He got up and dusted myself off, the vast garden of Eden surrounding me a blur. The world around him spinning as he stumbled around looking for safety. Something soft brushed his hand, and he looked down but couldn't see what it was. The taste of iron filled my mouth as I tried to make sense of the situation. The fuzzy brown thing was moving with a will of its own, almost like some kind of... tail.
His vision began to clear up and he reassessed my surroundings. A small metal pod which lay burning, half submerged in the ground. 'Guess I was flung out of it in some kind of crash..' As he looked around, he noticed that it was in fact a tail.. His tail.
Then he heard another crash.

There was a light creak.
He turned around and saw another pod. A tall man crawled out, and ran over to him. His long spiky black hair swaying in the wind. He enveloped me in a hug, only for me to struggle out of it, or so I thought.. My mind was absolutely buzzing with unanswered questions, and I didn't even notice how easily I pushed him back.

"[Y/N], are you ok..? That looked like some crash..."
There was a moment of silence.
"[Y/N]?" The man questioned.
"...Who?" [Y/N] finally answered.
The man looked at you, shocked by what you had just said.
"Did.. did you lose your memories..?" He stared, positively dumbfounded. [Y/N] simply nodded my head, confused. "...This'll be a pain.. I'm Raditz, the one and only, and your friend.."
When [Y/N] nodded again, somewhat understanding the situation, the man now known as Raditz took ahold of [Y/N]'s veiny hand and led him out of what he thought was a garden, but turned out to just be a massive field. Then, a short, older, mustached man came out of a vehicle holding a some kind of a weird gun..
When he approached, he saw the pods..
"A-aliens!" He shrieked, pointing the gun at the two of them- the man had a weird accent.. Foreign, with a drawl.. slightly slurred, and hart to understand. What in tarnation?
[Y/N] looked at him, shocked at his words, "..Alien..? What?" He turned to Raditz, "Raditz what-" Raditz put a hand on his shoulder and stepped in front of him.

"I-I'm not.. scared of you, Alien." The man with the gun stuttered, accent thick..
Raditz said nothing as the man fired the gun, focusing only on catching the bullets as they hurtled toward the two of us. In one swift movement he caught all of them, showing them off to the human as he dropped the smoking bullets on the ground. He discarded all but one, which he proceeded to flick towards the human.

As the man died from the bullet wound piercing his heart, [Y/N] clutched his head. As if some god was tightening the screw that had been drilled into his skull. Perhaps this is some new way of Frieza torturing me- Wait.. who..? He stared at the ground, and the world spinning again.
Raditz noticed [Y/N]'s condition worsening and picked him up. He didn't struggle as Raditz leaned him up against Raditz' pod ([Y/N]'s was absolutely destroyed from his crash landing).

***

[Y/N] woke up to the sounds of pained screams, and an explosion. He figured must've passed out in Raditz' arms as the two of us were flying. He looked over to see Raditz standing over a beat up young man, staring at a small child.
His H/L black hair swayed softly in the breeze as he watched the scene before him, the shock triggering some memories.

He remembered his time with Raditz, fighting, killing, sparring- That was it.. That summed up his entire life.

He remembered a saiyan prince, Vegeta, and following his orders and the mission he'd sent the two of us on..

He remembered his attendant- The man who raised them all.

He remembered a powerful man and a voice that sounded like nails on a chalkboard, yet somehow rather sophisticated, hurling insults towards the Prince and the others of his race..

He remembered blinding red, immense pain, his name being called as the red got brighter and everything around him disintegrated and then nothing..

Vegeta again, shaking in anger as the man insulted him and his people yet not talking back to the godlike being, and even ordering his attendant to stand down when the bald saiyan tried to rebel the being's rule..

Saiyan? What is a saiyan? Oh right.. their race. Guess it doesn't matter right now. The scene in front of him seemed more important, there's always time to ask questions later after all..
As He watched the fight, he saw a green man charging his attack- He was trying to take out Raditz and.. whoever that was at the same time.
"Wait-" [Y/N] yelled without thinking. "Wait, stop."
The 3 men turned to me with shocked looks on their faces.
"I don't know what's going on," He started- That was a lie, he knew (or at least had a vague idea, his memories were foggy..), "But, we'll leave. You'll never have to see us again." Raditz was about to get himself killed.. And [Y/N] didn't feel too great- He was in no condition to fight.

"How long.. have you been awake, [Y/N]?" Raditz asked as a piece of his armor fell off. As the pauldron hit the ground, they stared at each other in silence before he finally spoke.
"Long enough to realise you're out of your league, low-class.." [Y/N] stated, using Raditz' class as an derogatory nickname,

[Y/N] paused for a brief moment, to stare at the man holding Raditz in place, and blinked in recognition- he looked like Raditz.. Ah, right.. The reason they were here.
"Kakarot, I assume..?" He said, pointing to the man under his friend's feet.
"Yes, now help me out-" He heard Raditz respond.
He rolled his eyes. "Leave him, Raditz, if he needs help from a green slug, then he must not be that strong anyway.."
"If we leave him we'll be killed," Raditz looked mortified by my suggestion. "Vegeta will slaughter us-"
"Then we'll hide on earth. I can't leave anyway, my pod was destroyed in the crash" [Y/N] stated, pointing to the large crater behind them. "Leave him, he's useless to us anyways.."

[Y/N] moved to grab Kakarot with his right hand- only to realise he'd broken it.. 'Must've broken it in the crash..' So he pried Kakarot off of Raditz with his left arm, and the green man.. shot him.
He fired his charged ki blast at Kakarot wordlessly, not even giving the fallen warrior a chance to speak..

[Y/N] just stared, almost uncaring as the man slumped forewarn in his grasp- [Y/N] released his hold on the man and he fell face first into the dirt, choking on his own blood.. The wound was fatal- The green man had a chance for what radiated 'revenge', and he took it..
He sighed, and walked up to Raditz
"Look, stay or don't stay, Raditz.. I can't leave the planet and I refuse to be in your pod with you for an entire year.."
Raditz didn't say anything. [Y/N] was.. dismissive and cold to Raditz, and merciless with opponents- It seemed to come naturally to him, even with his memory loss..

Kakarot reached out to who [Y/N] assumed to be his son with a pained expression as he struggled to cling to life.
Then he heard a soft humming noise and looked up to see some kind of flying machine- it looked primitive to him, but based on the intel he had it was actually less primitive than expected.

As the vehicle landed, people clamoured out and ran to Kakarot.
[Y/N] grabbed onto Raditz' wrist with his tail instead of his right arm, pulling him away from the battle field- behind them, screams of despair and the sobbing of a young child.. And Kakarot was no more- The screw was once again tightened in his skull .

Hope you're ready for this monstrosity-
The memories bit was a bit sudden. Couldn't figure out how to write it, and didn't want it to take forever to remember Vegeta and such.. Still gonna have amnesia tho hehe kinda fun writing that (also infuriating)
Anyway, enjoy my shit writing :)
Edit: Changed [Y/N] so instead of being weak and confused he's more Saiyan- Which, right now, means cold and merciless and bloodthirsty.. Because the Saiyans at this point were the villains. Raditz is the weak one, and being around Vegeta for so long, [Y/N] would pick up some of his Vegeta-isms..

Thanks for reading
