The Saiyan Heritage and the Loneliness of the Warrior [Piccolo x OC]

Chapter 04

LETTIE

"YOU WILL SEE!" exclaimed Gohan. "THIS IS FOR MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!

Mouth agape, I watched him fly through the air and deliver a brutal headbutt right into Raditz's chest, who lost all his breath and color in his face when he received the blow that broke his armor.

How Gohan did that? I had no idea.

Both me, Goku lying on the ground, and Piccolo on the other side, stared at that little boy less than a meter tall, now also lying on the ground, confused with himself with the power he had just shown.

I believe I was so stunned, that I just stood there, frozen. Even my own body I could not feel.

"Gohan..." I heard Goku say; his voice barely coming out as he reached out his shaking arm to his son. "R-Run..."!

However, Raditz was faster. Taken by rage, he approached Gohan and hit the side of his head, and then, in the next second, I witnessed my nephew fall unconscious to the ground in front of me.

That was the last straw.

My body, which I couldn't feel before, became vivid. I felt every inch of my skin, my blood rushing through my veins and, most of all, my heart screaming in my chest as I contemplated the fallen Gohan.

He had no fault for his father's reckless actions. He was just a terrified child watching his hero being beaten by Raditz.

Witnessing Gohan being defeated with such cruelty was like an insult given directly at me, as if I had felt his pain.

No. He'll pay for this. Raditz. Will. Pay!

Nobody messes with my nephew. Nobody messes with my family.

"You..." I slowly left the crater, glaring at Raditz and shaking all over. "You... BASTARD!!!"

A powerful force took me over, and I advanced towards him, who saw me approaching with wide eyes.

"LETTIE, NO!" I heard Piccolo shout from afar, but it was too late to stop me.

I threw a right cross punch to Raditz's chin, who staggered back, not understanding how he had been hit, then I quickly crouched down and swung my legs in a sweep kick, causing him to fall flat on his back on the ground.

I got on top of him to lock him with my legs, so I could punch him in the face, but he was faster than me. Raditz swung his arm at my shin and knocked me to the ground next to him, and then he stood up and grabbed the collar of my kimono, glaring at me with his manic eyes.

"Did you really think you could stand a chance against me, little sister?" he growled, close to my face. "You're nothing but a fool!"

"Lettie...!" said Goku in his weak voice.

The last thing I saw was Raditz's fist coming towards my face, and I blacked out.
