Dragon Ball R/Z | Raditz x reader

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫.

In the dark void that enveloped the Saiyans eyesight, a small red dot appeared in the far distance. His newly found companion was still asleep, much to his surprise. Small dots of white and gray brushed across the dark canvas named space, blurring into lines when they got close.

The space pod sliced through the atmosphere of Planet Vegeta, flames licking its sleek, metallic surface as it descended with a high-pitched whine. Raditz grinned, his long, spiky hair swaying slightly with the vibration of the pod. Next to him, Y/n, now sat tensely, eyes wide with a mix of awe that followed her awakening.

As the pod's descent slowed, the flames died away, revealing the rugged, red terrain of Planet Vegeta. Jagged mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks shrouded in mist, while vast stretches of barren, rocky plains spread out beneath them. The sky was a perpetual twilight, with dark clouds swirling ominously, occasionally pierced by streaks of lightning.

With a final jolt, the pod landed, hissing and steaming as the doors slid open. Raditz stepped out first, his boots crunching on the rocky ground. He inhaled deeply, a look of satisfaction spreading across his face.

"Home sweet home.."
He muttered, his voice a deep rumble. Y/n followed more cautiously, stepping out of the pod and looking around in wonder.

"So this is Planet Vegeta,"
Y/n said softly, her voice almost swallowed by the vastness of the landscape. "It's... intense."

Raditz chuckled, crossing his arms over his chest. "Intense is one way to put it. This planet is as harsh as its people. You'll see soon enough."

They stood on a plateau overlooking a vast valley. The ground was a dark, reddish-brown, cracked and parched, with sparse, hardy vegetation clinging to life in the crevices. In the distance, the silhouette of a massive fortress could be seen, its dark spires piercing the sky. The fortress was the heart of Saiyan power, a place where the strongest warriors gathered and the king held court.

As they began to walk, the harsh winds of Vegeta whipped around them, carrying the scent of dust and metallic tang of impending rain. Y/n pulled their jacket tighter, glancing at Raditz.
"Why did you bring me here? Won't the others be... surprised to see a human?"

Raditz smirked, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and something else, perhaps a hint of pride. "Human? Negative. Besides, you're with me, and that means you're under my protection. Plus, there's something you need to see, something that might explain a lot about why you exist."

"Why I exist? What do you -"

"Quiet down now, woman. "

Their path led them down the side of the plateau, the rocks shifting and crunching beneath their feet. The descent was steep, and Y/n had to focus to keep from slipping. Raditz, on the other hand, moved with the ease and confidence of someone who had traversed such terrain countless times.

As they neared the valley floor, the air grew thicker, charged with an almost palpable energy. The ground here was littered with the remnants of past battles - scorched earth, shattered rocks, and the occasional twisted piece of armor. It was a stark reminder of the Saiyans' violent history, a testament to their might and ferocity.

Raditz paused, looking down at a particularly large crater. "This," he said, his voice unusually solemn, "is where some of our greatest warriors fell. We Saiyans are proud, but our pride often leads us into conflicts that end like this."

Y/n stared at the crater, feeling a shiver run down their spine. "It's rather... overwhelming if I can say so. " they admitted. "The power, the destruction... It's like nothing I've ever seen."
