Dragonball : Super Raditz

It took Goku and Raditz a whole fifteen minutes to figure out the steps needed to perform the fusion dance, both separately and with a partner.

Even the finger touching step was practiced as a separate move multiple times so nobody messes up the fusion.

They can't afford to do that anymore, Cell Max was already starting to say some words like 'Die!', him regaining his vocabulary was a sign of higher brain functions, which wasn't good news for anyone.

"Huff, alright Kakarot, I think we got this down pretty perfectly."

Raditz said after looking at Goku's perfect fusion dance moves, then decided it was now time to give it a try.

Goku was relieved and wiped his sweat after his brother's confirmation, it sure was tough to master this dance while synchronising with another person.

And now came the second part of the fusion dance.

"Haah!"

Goku, who's base form was Super Saiyan because of his training in the time chamber, had started to do something weird.

He was powering down, while keeping himself as a Super Saiyan.

But nobody found it weird, for it was the correct way to do the fusion dance, the more hectic one's state is during fusion, the less time the fusion would last.

So it was either Goku lowering his power to match Raditz's base, which was somewhere between super Full power Saiyan and Goku's base, or Raditz going Ikari to match Goku's Super Saiyan, which would then put the fusion under strain.

Which one of these they had to choose wasn't that hard to understand.

*Whoosh*

So after a few more seconds of sensing Raditz's ki and lowering his Super Saiyan state to that level, Goku gave a nod.

Raditz also uncrossed his hands and cracked his neck, who knew his first fusion would come so suddenly.

"Huff, alright Kakarot, let's get this over with."

"Yeah, let's do this."

Taking their position, the two brothers put their hands on opposite sides and pointed with their fingers in a funny way.

"Fuuui"

They next began to walk on tip toes and started approaching each other in a mirrored way.

"Sioooon."

As they reached the correct distance, they both bent towards each other at once and their stretched fingers touched, absolutely perfectly.

"HA!"

*Zooooom*

A massive spike of ki brought the z fighter's attention on the now merging shapes of Raditz and Goku.

Even the uncontrollable Cell Max had stopped trying to swat away the flies as he watched the threatening energy body.

"Wooom*

And before the eyes of the z fighters and Cell Max, the fusion body finally became one from two seperate people and with a last flickering glow, the energy surrounding the new figure disappeared.

Watching the tall guy with white baggy pants, orange black open chested jacket, a Goku like face and Raditz like hair, the z fighters looked at each other in shock.

"Wow, is that you Goku..? Or are you Raditz..? I can't tell."

Krillin said while looking confused at the new warrior before them, Raditz and Goku looked similar from the beginning, being brothers, but now there was no possibility of telling them apart.

Hearing Krillin's words, the new warrior slowly opened his eyes, and looked at him with a smirk.

"Me? I am neither Raditz nor Kakarot."

"You can call me Radarot!"

A voice which was distinctly two voices speaking together emerged from the new fighter, but it didn't seem off putting in the slightest, it gave off a divine echo like feeling.

Coupled with the explosive power they could feel Radarot emit, they knew, they had a powerful member amongst them.

"Cell, you have been raging for quite a while now, let's put you to rest shall we!"

Radarot wasted no time in turning towards Cell and giving a smirk, and then right before everyone eyes.

*Swish*

He vanished, and reappeared infront of Cell Max's face, with a face that showed absolute confidence.

The z fighters as well as Cell were startled by this display, because the speed that Radarot had just shown, none of them could follow.

'Incredible, this wasn't instant transmission, but I couldn't follow it at all!'

Piccolo thought while sweat appeared on his forehead, this guy Radarot was extremely strong, too strong, the strongest they had ever seen.

And scariest of them all, he wasn't even transformed yet!

Radarot himself seems to be always smirking, and appeared to be enjoying the power boost himself as well.

Being a new fusion he wasn't very well versed in his abilities, even Vegito had to do basic punches and kicks after his first fusion against Buu, still, Radarot preferred to learn as he faught.

This was the aspect of Goku that was shining through him, if it was Raditz alone, this wouldn't have been his first choice of action.

But so was fusion, you never know what kind of warrior you are going to get, it was entirely a matter of which traits were more dominant.

"Grrrr."

Cell Max who still hadn't moved from the moment Radarot had shown up growled.

Radarot looked amused at Cell Max and then without any signal-

*Snap*

Kicked the nose of Cell Max's massive head.

Without even being able to scream Cell Max's giant body was throw back, as if it wasn't a tiny human who had kicked him, but a man double his size.

*Booom*

The titanic body collided with the mountains and Cell Max was completely buried into the dust, not moving an inch since his fall.

Radarot who saw Cell unable to move and lie down motionless weirdly didn't chase, but folded his hands and waited for his opponent to get up.

Again showing the aspects of Goku just after the aspect of Raditz shined through from the previous surprise attack.

These two diametrically opposite personalities had blended very well in Radarot.

So although this was a matter of Saiyan instinct, Piccolo didn't seem to appreciate this.

"Radarot! What are you doing, finish him off!"

Radarot didn't seem to care and just waved Piccolo off, but before Piccolo could blow his top off thinking the Saiyans were once more going to pull a Nappa on them, Radarot spoke.

"Relax, there is no need to chase after him, that's exactly what he wants."

The z fighters looked at Radarot in confusion, and right at that time, the rocks where Cell Max had been buried started shifting.

A hand crawled out of the rubble and slowly Cell Max's body rose from the dust, but this time around he was without his previous rage.

*Pat*

*Pat*

*Pat*

Patting his green bio armor which was stained with dust, Cell Max stared at Radarot with interest.

"When did you find out I was faking it."

The z fighters looked shocked out of their soul, Cell was faking this..! Since when?! Were they being played like fools the entire time?

Radarot didn't seem surprised in the least, after all, from his previous words he had expected this, so he gave a pleasant smile to Cell before replying.

"Since the moment you sensed my power and regained consciousness."

Tapping his head with his pointer finger, Radarot smirked.

"You are kind of easy to get a read on."

To everyone this last line seemed like Radarot was mocking Cell's ability to act, but only Radarot knew that he was infact mind reading Cell, a skill of Raditz he could use to deeper levels due to being a fused being.

"So it was when you guys fused, phew, I thought we were unknowingly in danger this whole time."

Krillin patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, if this was Cell just waiting to suprise them or acting like a beast this entire time, they would worry that he had some plans they didn't know about.

Cell smiled back after hearing this answer, he seems to have regained his previous demeanor as he spoke with grace.

"Huhuhuhu, I see, Radarot is it, thank you for bringing my mind back, as a token of thanks-"

"Die!"

Completely out of the blue, Cell teleported before Radarot, he had just used instant transmission, and before anyone could even feel surprised at how Cell learnt the move, Cell had punched Radarot with full force.

*Booom*

The z fighters were blown away from the sheer wind blowing off the attack, after stabilizing themselves on various parts of the environment, they shielded their eyes and finally somehow managed to peek at the battlefield.

And then they breathed a sigh of relief, this sudden attack of Cell Max attack did indeed connect, but it connected with Radarot's shin.

Radarot had easily blocked Cell Max's surprise attack with the everpresent Saiyan smirk on his face.

From the looks of it, this battle was going to turn in their favour this time around.
