Chapter 2: On the way to the Academy
Limus looked back at his home for 15 years, it was empty now, he and Yamcha had packed up every little thing the day before. Limus sighed as he thought about all of the wonderful memories in the place raising the youngster to the teenager that he was now. He would miss the home, and even this backwoods planet, but he would always have the memories, and he could always return to the house in time.
Yamcha also was leaving, the only home he had ever had, but for him, thoughts of missing his home were not present, for him, it was all about the future, the future adventures he would have. The future lessons, and skills he would master, and becoming better once and for all then Sonju. Yeah, he would out work his rival and become better then him in no time.
The two of flew quickly across the landscape of the planet, heading towards the one and only space port on the small plant. Here a large spaceship was docked Yamcha looked up at the ship was in amazement, he had never seen anything as big as this in his life. The ship had to be 300 feet tall, and barely even fit into the space port, which he always thought was large. Limus noticing his grandson laughed, his reaction was priceless, and showed just how much of a backwoods planet kid he was. He smiled at his adopted grandson, remembering the first time, he saw a massive ship like the one in front of them, years before.
"Pops, is that what we are going on," Yamcha asked still in awe of what was in front of him.
"Of course, that it the Academies own spaceship, The Grand Vegeta, we are the last stop before it heads back to the Academy," Limus replied with a smile.
"So, if it is the last stop, that would mean that all the other incoming students are already inside, how many do you think their will be?"
"Well, that depends on the quality of applicants from across the empire, normally around 1000 is common for a class. You have to be pretty good just to get into the academy," Limus said with a smile at his grandson, "Basically, everyone of them, would make the people you normally fight here except Sonju look like jokes. They are at least as good as you, Yamcha."
"Wow," Yamcha whispered to himself before his voice grew suddenly louder, "This is going to be a blast."
The two of them walked up to the entrance to the port, each showing their idea as they walked into the large building. As normal, almost no one was there, it the quietest building in town, and without a doubt one could hear a pin drop.
"I guess the academy, has lowered it standards if it is even taking you," Sonju said announcing his presence in the room.
"We will see about the whole lowering standards, cause if they are, they had to even more to take a lame loser like in," Yamcha replied his eyes narrowing on Sonju.
"Whatever, we will see who the loser is," Sonju shot back.
"Boys, you both will have more worries then which of you is stronger then the other," Limus interjected causing both to become quiet.
The three quietly walked out of the port, and into the entrance to the large ship. Yamcha looked around at the hall closely, it was in a arch shape, and seemed to go on forever, he also noticed the in the middle was a large room, with a large number of other rooms that lined the outside of the large room. Everything was of a simple look as well, nothing fancy, but the size was still intimidating.
Two older men walked up to the group, Limus knew each of the men right away, each was a student of his, and more then likely had a role in his return as head master. Though he had heard rumors of lower performance after he left, he also knew the head master who replaced him, had gone and gotten herself married to a important family and was forced to leave.
"Master, Limus, it is great to see you back here," one of the two said with a large smile, "We were in need of your great touch around here,."
"You rate me to highly," Limus meekly replied, "Well these two are the two incoming fighters from my new homeworld, Sonju, and my grandson, Yamcha."
"Ahh,,, yes, it is great to have you as well," the man said looking closely at the two, "It will be interesting to see how good you two are."
"Well, you two might as well go find your rooms, we have things to go over with Limus," the other man interjected, "Sonju your in room 515, Yamcha 206."
Yamcha smiled as he moved quickly to his room, to put his things away. As he walked into the room, he almost ran right into someone. Yamcha turned to look at the person, and looked up to see a red skinned alien standing before him. The alien was about the same height as he was. He also right away noticed his white hair. From looking at him, he could also tell they were about the same age.
"Well, now, what do we have here, a tailless saiyan huh?" the alien announced looking at him, "Well, you better be more careful where you walk. Someone might take it the wrong way, and that is how fights break out."
"Well, my bad," Yamcha quietly replied.
The alien blinked, "Wow, you are a strange saiyan, I guess you are really are from the backwater."
"Hey no one calls my home backwater, but my friends," Yamcha retored back.
"Cool it, I see the fight now, I think you are ok," the alien said, "By the way, my name is Jeice. I am your roommate for this trip."
"Well, Jeice how common of you to forget to introduce the other person in the room," A green skinned alien announced, "Well at least he is not normal, for his race, Saiyan's can be so…annoying."
Yamcha looked up at the other alien who was taller then him, and had antenna on his head.
"Well, nice to meet both of you, my name is Yamcha," Yamcha said with a smile.
"Well, Yamcha, my name is Nail," the other alien said introducing himself.
Yamcha found his area in the room, where he could put away his things, after talking with the other two, he started to put away his stuff, he noticed Jeice was messing with his hair, and Nail was sitting and reading out of a book, The two of them seemed nice enough to put up with on the journey, Yamcha wondered what the other 997 members of the new class would be like.
"Yamcha please come down to the testing center," a intercom went off getting Yamcha attention as he looked confused.
"What is up," Yamcha asked his roommates, as if they would know.
"I imagine, they are testing your power level," Nail said causally, it is to know where to place you when we get to the Academy.
"What were you two"
"342," Jeice announced proudly, "Top power rating this year so far."
"Correct, I was at only 320," Nail added.
"Well, I better go check myself," Yamcha said getting up and heading for the door to leave.
"Well, I am curious myself, hey Nail lets go check out what his level is, I bet it is about 110," Jeice announced getting to his feet.
"Fine it is not like I have anything better to do," Nail commented.
The three walked down to the station, where he noticed Sonju already there, actually already walking back to his room. Yamcha did have a chance to see Sonju level, which would of told him where he was. Yamcha and his new friends walked into the room.
"Wow, that last guy was good, one of the best this year," one of the techs in the room.
A smile grew on Yamcha's face, "Hey Jeice, I bet you, I am over 300."
"What… sure," Jeice replied, "If I win, you have to walk around the ship in a dress for a day."
"Fine, if I win, you will have to teach me every skill you know before we get to the academy."
"Fine."
"Yamcha, please come forward," the head tech announced as Yamcha walked under the machine.
Yamcha watched as the number for his power level rose, Jeice also watching nervously. Suddenly the number on the power level stopped, it read, 335."
"Interesting same as the other one from this planet," the tech said surprised.
"Seems I won," Yamcha announced with a smile.
A/N- I know you will complain about power levels, but remember three things, one, this is before they undergo big time training, secondly they are younger then in the show, and thirdly this is a AU so they will not be at the exact same level as in the show.
Power Levels:
Jeice: 342
Yamcha: 335
Sonju: 335
Nail: 320
