Gohan wasn't on the ship more than half an hour, but was already given a taste of death and his small four year old mind couldn't help to think that was only the very beginning of what he is about to witness. For a four year old Gohan didn't have much naivety he was quite mature for his age but that didn't stop him hoping that his father would come up here and whisk him away back to his normal life. Gohan had a bit more sense than that but sometimes when all we can do is hope The young saiyan was so entranced with his thoughts he didn't realise Raditz had stopped in front of a doorway.
"Now listen here boy" Raditz began "These two you're about to meet are the elite of the elite, the crème de la crème of the Planet Trade Organisation you will show them the upmost respect and bow in front of them. You're a saiyan you will learn our customs the easy way or the hard way" Raditz grinned; Gohan gulped and was waiting in anticipation as he walked through the clean white doorway.
There stood two figures, one tall hulking brute with bulging muscles and an expression that says the lights are on but no one's home. This gargantuan saiyan was standing against the wall with his arms folded. Gohan deduced that they must have known they were arriving the other figure was smaller and less bulky, but certainly was not lacking in the muscle department though he did not intimidate in his stature,he more than made up for it with his facial expression his face had a scowl that could chill your blood and make your bones brittle. His eyes were cold, harsh and Gohan felt like they were piercing his soul. As Gohan looked at those black orbs he could see those eyes had little remorse and Gohan knew he would have to put up a brave front in front of his new, so called comrades. He noticed both figures had their tails wrapped around their waist.
it was a tense few moments before the brute broke the silence "Hey Raditz who's the runt?" the larger saiyan inquired "He's my nephew Nappa" Raditz retorted "My mission to Earth had a wrench in the works Kakarot has gone soft I had to eliminate him, but I got his son in return with the proper training , we can harness his potential and he will be a valuable asset to our squad" At this point the shorter Saiyan could take not take Raditz's blathering anymore "Raditz silence your rigmarole at once! If you think this runt would be any use to us other than cannon fodder, you're as foolish as the runt's father" at this point Vegeta activated his scouter it clicked, beeped and whirred before blinking rapidly before Vegeta continued his venomous rant,
"710 what a pathetic power level even for a runt, if this infant has "potential" as you put it I'd hate to see what his clown of a third class father can do."At this point Gohan's fear was was replaced with anger at Vegeta's harsh words, not being enraged by the personal insults but more angry at the insults directed at his father, Raditz's words about respect were quickly forgotten.
"Don't talk about my daddy like that!" Gohan shouted. Gohan's fit of rage only made Vegeta smirk "What are you gonna do about it runt" Vegeta said in a condescending tone Gohan was suddenly filled with more rage than ever, he wanted to make this Vegeta character pay at all costs. "HYAAAAAH!" Gohan cried and quick as a flash he charged Vegeta head on and hit him square in the jaw. Raditz and Nappa were in shock to say the least they had just seen a third class runt attack the Prince Of All Saiyans.
"You're in for it now runt" Nappa thought, but sadly Nappa's thoughts were quite wrong. After hitting Vegeta,Gohan's rage quickly subsided and he was now standing opposite Vegeta panting heavily. Vegeta 's head was turned slightly due to Gohan's punch and Vegeta slowly turned his head back to upright position without breaking his smirk. However he became slightly uneasy when he felt something trickle down his chin from the corner of his mouth, wiping his mouth with his gloved hand he noticed a red stain on his otherwise white glove "Hmm the runt of a third class drew blood from the Prince Of All Saiyans this is outrageous! but also interesting I'll have to keep a closer eye on this boy" The prince thought.
Vegeta looked down at the boy he was panting heavily and near the point of exhaustion but the prince could see the fiery determination in his eyes. Nappa and Raditz could only look on as Vegeta was ultimately deciding the boy's fate, even if Nappa and Raditz teamed up to save the boy all three would perish under the prince's might.
The tense moment was interrupted with the scouter blinking and flashing before Vegeta smirked once again "That fit of rage shot you up to 5,000, better watch out Nappa he could be replacing you soon enough and Raditz...I'll give your nephew a week before he surpasses you" the Prince chuckled. Nappa and Raditz were flabbergasted to say the least the young runt jumped from a power level of 710 to 5,000 in mere seconds.
Though Vegeta and Nappa wouldn't admit they were beginning to see the potential Raditz was talking about. Vegeta slowly walked before the boy and looked down on him with his trademark scowl "What is your name boy?" Vegeta said "emm G-G-Gohan m-m-Mr. V-Vegeta S-Sir" Gohan replied Vegeta was stunned to see a boy that could draw blood from a prince was now cowering before "Perhaps this isn't a bad thing" the Prince mused the Prince laughed lightly "Gohan huh? Nappa , Raditz you might want to remember that name who knows what it could accomplish."
The Prince then continued "Now Gohan back to business I was impressed by that stunt you pulled as you showed some pride, but pull anything like that again and I assure you will not survive" the Prince said a little too politely. "Now bow before your prince" Vegeta commanded, Gohan looked to his uncle for confirmation and with a quick nod from his uncle Gohan quickly got down on one knee and bowed his head in front of Vegeta.
The Prince smirked slightly before returning to his glare "Nappa, Raditz, Make sure the boy gets a set of armour and a scouter" the Prince ordered "Oh and Gohan?" Gohan looked up from his kneeling position only to see a fist connect with the side of his face and sent him crashing into the wall leaving a four inch gash running along Gohan's temple and down his face. Gohan felt intense pain in his head and looked at his hands to see blood on them that was all he could remember before he blacked out.
"Welcome to Frieza's Army" said the Prince before he left the room.
