Dragon Ball R/Z | Raditz x reader

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧.

Raditz paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, his eyes never leaving the healing tank where Y/n floated, her body enveloped in a soft green glow. It had been hours since the battle with Frieza, and the memory of seeing Y/n impaled by that death beam haunted him. He clenched his fists, the golden aura of his Super Saiyan form still flickering around him as he fought to keep his emotions in check.

The room was silent except for the rhythmic hum of the healing tank. Raditz had spent the entire time standing vigil, refusing to leave her side. He had brought her here, activating the tank with a desperation he had never felt before. Now, all he could do was wait and hope.

After what felt like an eternity, the tank emitted a soft beep, signaling that the healing process was complete. Raditz's heart leapt as he saw Y/n's eyes flutter open. He quickly moved to the control panel, unhooking the various tubes and wires connected to her.

As the tank door slid open, Y/n took a hesitant step forward, only to collapse into Raditz's arms. Her eyes met his, and for a moment, they were both acutely aware of their proximity. She blushed deeply as she realized the position they were in, practically draped over him.

"Uh, thanks, Raditz," Y/n stammered, trying to regain her balance.

Raditz cleared his throat, awkwardly helping her to stand. "Don't mention it. I'm just glad you're okay."

Their moment was abruptly shattered by a chilling laugh that echoed through the room. Raditz and Y/n turned to see Frieza, having regained consciousness, standing at the entrance. His eyes burned with hatred.

"You think you can escape so easily?" Frieza sneered. "I'll make sure you both pay for this."

Raditz quickly pushed Y/n behind him, his body tensing as he faced Frieza. "Stay back, Y/n. I'll handle this."

Y/n, however, stepped forward, determination blazing in her eyes. "No, we fight together. We started this together, and we'll finish it together."

Frieza snarled, his aura flaring as he prepared to attack. "Foolish Saiyans. You'll regret this."

The battle erupted with a ferocity that shook the entire ship. Raditz, now stronger and more determined than ever, met Frieza's initial onslaught head-on. The clash of their energies sent shockwaves through the room, but Raditz stood his ground, his golden aura blazing brightly.

Frieza charged at Raditz with blinding speed, throwing a series of powerful punches and kicks. Raditz parried each blow with remarkable precision, his newfound strength evident in every movement. He countered with a devastating knee to Frieza's gut, sending the tyrant flying backwards.

Y/n joined the fray, her own energy flaring as she launched a series of ki blasts at Frieza. He deflected them with a swipe of his hand, but it provided the distraction Raditz needed to close the distance. With a roar, Raditz delivered a crushing blow to Frieza's jaw, sending him crashing into the wall.

"You'll pay for your arrogance!" Frieza hissed, transforming into his final form. His power surged, but Raditz and Y/n remained undeterred.

Frieza attacked with renewed vigor, his speed and strength nearly overwhelming. Raditz and Y/n fought in perfect sync, their movements fluid and coordinated. They dodged and countered Frieza's attacks, their combined power proving to be too much for the tyrant.

"Double Sunday!" Raditz shouted, unleashing a powerful energy wave that struck Frieza squarely in the chest. The force of the attack sent him sprawling to the ground, struggling to rise.

"Spirit Slash!" Y/n added, her energy blade slicing through the air and cutting deep into Frieza's side. He roared in pain, his energy faltering.

Raditz seized the opportunity, launching himself at Frieza with a devastating flurry of punches and kicks. Each blow landed with bone-crushing force, driving Frieza further back. Raditz's rage and determination fueled his attacks, his Super Saiyan power overwhelming Frieza's defenses.

Frieza, battered and bloodied, fell to his knees. "Please... spare me," he begged, his voice weak and desperate.

Raditz hesitated for a moment, his golden aura flickering. He looked at Y/n, who nodded silently. With a swift motion, Raditz delivered a final, powerful strike to Frieza's head, knocking him unconscious.

The chamber fell silent, the only sound the heavy breathing of Raditz and Y/n. They stood over Frieza's unconscious form, victorious yet weary. Raditz took a deep breath, his Super Saiyan aura fading as he turned to Y/n.

"We need to get out of here," Raditz said, his voice firm. "Frieza won't stay down forever."

Y/n nodded, glancing around the room. "Let's grab the Dragon Ball and get back to Planet Vegeta."

They quickly searched the ship, finding the fifth Dragon Ball hidden in Frieza's quarters. With the precious orb in hand, they made their way back to the docking bay and climbed into the Saiyan space pod. Raditz set the coordinates for Planet Vegeta, and the pod launched into the void of space.

As they sped away from Frieza's ship, Y/n leaned back in her seat, exhaustion finally catching up to her. "We did it, Raditz. We actually did it."

Raditz glanced over at her, a rare smile touching his lips. "Yeah, we did. But this is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go."

Y/n smiled back, her eyes closing as she let the soothing hum of the pod lull her into a well-deserved rest. Raditz watched her for a moment, his heart swelling with a mix of relief and admiration. He knew now, more than ever, that they could face whatever challenges lay ahead, as long as they were together.

'Today was another day.'
