Radditz lounged along a thick branch, tucked into the high boughs of an enormous sub-tropical tree, his back propped against the dip of the massive trunk. The heavy mane of hair hung limp against the smooth bark of the tree, weighted by the blanket of humid air that seemed to pull at everything here.
Two months. He'd been out here in the thickest muck of the Talejian frontier for two entire months - it felt like a lifetime. "Ugh..." Radditz rolled his head back and blinked up lazily through the dappled foliage above, seized again with a jaw-cracking yawn.
This assignment had been his punishment. Ou Vegeta had not missed the sight of Radditz sprawled out in his camp throne following the events of the Taw Shi. He had stalked up behind the young warrior and slammed him from the heavy chair, then picked it up and broke it over Radditz' cowering head.
"It's so damned boring..." The massive warrior shook his head and blinked in an attempt to rouse himself, feeling almost drugged by the weight of heat and wet air. He stretched languidly, his tail weaving the air behind him, arching his back and twisting to loosen his muscles.
On the brink of another huge yawn, he caught it. The faint scent of smoldering wire, sweating metal. Radditz' eyes closed to faint slits, his head lifting to whiff the air, the heavy spikes of hair lifting as his body tensed.
He crouched down and moved along the limb silently, his tail puffing slightly as it lashed the air. There it was again, about thirty kirai off, to the northeast. His eyes narrowed, Radditz leapt neatly from branch to tree, moving swiftly but with almost no sound as he closed in on the source.
He saw the torn treetops first, snapped and blackened, then the slightly smoldering gash in the ground below. Leaping directly from trunk to heavy trunk he closed in, brows drawn down in a predator's scowl, lips curled in an anticipatory sneer.
Buried among the deadfall caused by its decent was a single-man pod, the open hatch breathing fine tendrils of white smoke. Radditz' ears twitched as the faint sounds of cursing sounded from within. He grinned and flexed his fingers: this was no saiya-jin pod, thus was no friend. Finally, a break in the monotony, his tail flicked back and forth excitedly.
He crept closer; staying downwind despite the clamor raised by the pod's occupant, edging into the brush a few jani away, motionless. Glittering sable eyes were the only tell-tale of his presence as he melted into the thick shadowed foliage, he watched and listened.
"I am telling you Dodoria...this place is empty! Feh...and it smells too..."
Radditz watched as long blue fingers wrapped around the edge of the pod's hatch, followed by an armored shoulder and back. A long green braid was tossed over the shoulder as more curses accompanied its occupant's backward exit.
"The navigation module's wiring is burnt out I said! You will have to send someone after me...What?... No there's no way I can fix it dammit! I told you...No...listen!"
The blue-skinned alien snarled at the scouter, snatching it from his ear and throwing it to the side. It tumbled to a stop at Radditz' bare feet, its owner's eyes widening as he realized he was no longer alone. A distant chatter threaded from the earpiece.
Tawny eyes traveled slowly up; tracing over long muscled legs, a spark of surprise lighting them at narrow hips draped with a brief covering of thin leather, they took in the brawny bare chest and wide shoulders before lifting to meet the predatory sable gaze.
"Uh..." The slender throat swallowed roughly at the sight of the feral grin gracing sensuous lips, a small stab of fear and sudden arousal pushing him back a step. He straightened and slid a hand down the slightly frazzled green braid, as if comforting himself.
Radditz enjoyed watching the alien squirm, scenting his nervousness and quickening blood even from a distance: his grin widened. He stepped free of the concealing foliage and tossed his mane of spiky hair, his feet making no noise as he crossed to the edge of the trench torn in the soil.
"I-I'm Zarbon..." Emerald brows furrowed at the nervousness in his voice, nothing like the polished tone he usually used. He smoothed a hand over his braid again. I must be a mess! He cringed inwardly and flashed a hopefully winning smile at the massive warrior who stared down at him over crossed arms.
"Zarbon..." The shaggy head nodded. Chin dipping to his chest, Radditz' grin widened as his eyes took on a gleam of bloodlust.
He's small...maybe not much of a challenge...but he smells good...
He'd been out here alone for too long - the slender alien looked good, very good. Radditz chuckled softly as he saw the effeminate male take another step back; his golden eyes snapping up at the rough sound before he straightened and took up a haughty stance.
"Who are you?" Zarbon fought to keep the quaver out of his voice. He felt like prey suddenly; he didn't like it.
Radditz' lips quirked to one side as he smirked, scenting the fear and anxiety in the smaller man even as it masked the trace of arousal. His voice rasped huskily as he stepped forward and landed lightly in the crater. "Radditz..."
Zarbon's eyes darted from left to right, seeking some possible escape route, but the verdant jungle gave no leeway. He found his heart pounding with both fear and desire, and shook his head to clear his thoughts. But he could not stop the path his gaze took, flowing over the satiny looking skin, lifting to lock onto hungry ebon eyes.
Radditz rumbled softly in his chest, a predatory smile curving his lips as he stalked closer, his nostrils twitching as he scented the odd mix of terror and yearning.
Gods...he's so...beautiful...
Zarbon was no stranger to attractive men, he'd spent what little free time he could steal from Frieza's army by wallowing in his own hedonism, but this one was remarkable. His tongue darted out nervously to wet his lips as he took another step back, stumbling against the side of the crater.
It was all the advantage Radditz needed, he pounced in an instant, pinning the smaller body back against sliding rubble. He savored the flash of fear in Zarbon's eyes, felt the alien quiver against him even as he scowled and threw a punch to the back of Radditz' head.
He caught the fist easily, growling, amused, thrusting a knee up between the slender thighs, his tail whipping. He chuckled again at the outraged look he gained for his trouble, dipping his head and breathing along the turquoise skin, savoring the flavor of fear.
Zarbon tried to still the quake that ran through him, finding himself sweating and painfully hard as the warrior ground against him, his thoughts going hazy as lust flared through him. He tried to fight it; the sudden appearance and movement of the warrior hadn't given him a chance to transform, he didn't know what this creature might be though he knew his body's response wasn't natural, but oh how good he felt, how warm and...firm.
He panted against the sweat-honeyed skin of Radditz' shoulder, unable to keep his tongue from flicking out to lap at the salty temptation, a low moan wrenched from him as he felt a hard tug at his armor. He gasped at the sudden breath of air as his uniform was torn free, digging his hands into the broad shoulders and shivering as sharp teeth grazed over his neck.
Radditz purred deeply, enjoying the mix of scents rolling off the slight male, digging his fingers in harshly to the material separating them. He growled and tugged off the armor, twisting Zarbon in his arms and pressing him against the wall of the crater.
Zarbon gasped, a yelp of protest parting his lips as he was roughly handled followed quickly by a moan as he felt strong fingers prodding at him. He squirmed and panted into the soil, his hands digging gashes in the soft brown dirt as he felt his hips lifted.
Radditz lapped at the bare back beneath him, bringing the long slender legs up to wrap around his thighs, rubbing one thumb against the tight opening. His eyes fluttered shut as he stroked himself, rubbing the tingling tip of his cock against the tight opening, pushing his hips forward slowly.
Golden eyes flashed open widely, Zarbon's jaw dropped with a breathless gasp as thick steely flesh bored steadily into him, stretching him to his limits. "Ahh...gods..." The rest was reduced to a strangled whimper as more fingers wrapped around his arousal and stroked maddeningly slowly up and down his length.
Radditz slowly pumped in and out of him, taking his time in drawing out his pleasure, his pace quickening as he felt the smaller body relax and adjust to him. Soon his hips were slamming hard, drawing back slowly before plunging forward swiftly into tight heat, his fingers digging into the slim hips.
Zarbon's heart raced at the snarling grunts in his ear, distantly amazed that this was happening at all, arching in delight at the sensations coursing through him. Even as the thick length pounded into him, fingers stroked him firmly, coaxing moisture from the tip of his cock. He whimpered as he felt his impending release build.
Radditz had held back until he felt the smaller male begin to writhe and tense against him, trailing a line of searing nips across Zarbon's shoulders, lapping at the nape of his neck. Yessss...right... He pressed sharp teeth to the base of the alien's skull, thinking briefly how convenient it was that the hair was braided, then felt the first pulse of Zarbon's climax. Now...
Radditz drove deep one final time, feeling himself jetting deeply into the wet heat beginning to throb around his cock. His howl of release echoing through the trees then muffled as he parted his jaws wide and sank razor canines into the base of Zarbon's skull, a deep satisfied purr rippling from his chest as he felt the spine snap, rich blood pouring into his mouth.
Mmmmmm...they always taste so good when they come...
He padded back to the scouter, laying forgotten amid the mulch of the forest floor, sucking at a fine bone as he turned it over in one curious hand.
"Hn...definitely something 'Tousan and the Ou should see..."
He grinned at the intermittent questioning chirp that rose from the bit of plastic and metal, thinking that at least his days of boredom were over.
An intriguing list with some unusual - and very dark - stories...
[Joules, wide-eyed] "......... ye gods, what a way to go!"
