Chapter 10

He was just settling into his training routine when he heard Kakarot's voice come through the intercom.

"Hey Vegeta! Do you mind if Tora and I come join you in this gravity, we would like to train?"

Quickly disintegrating the Ki floating around him, he snaps his head around to the viewing window. "Yes" he barks out, flipping his body so he is holding himself up with one hand on the floor with the other place behind his back as he starts doing one arm push up's.

"Aww... come on Vegeta... please." Kakarot whines. "Bulma's kicked us out of our training room."

He was slightly curious as to why the female had kicked them out, but he didn't see how that was his problem. he snarls back at them. "Why should that concern me and disrupt my training?"

"Because this is the only place on this station that we can train in that goes over 50 time's gravity." Tora remarks. "We would not normally disturb you, but this room is big enough for us to use as well as you."

"Please Vegeta let us train, we won't get in your way." Kakarot implores.

"NO. Now go away." He snarls as he switches hands, continuing with his push ups.

"Pretty please." Kakarot continues to beg. "The tournament is in two days and we need to train."

"You're not frightened that we will show you up are you." Tora smugly asks.

Gritting his teeth he sneers at them. "There is no way you two plebeians could show me up in anything." He was very sorely tempted to allow the third class's in and put them in their place. After his previous spar with Kakarot, he was certain that the only reason Kakarot could even land a hit on him, was because he hadn't gotten use to the gravity level at that time. "So NO!"

"Please Vegeta. Just let us train in here. We won't get in your way, promise." Kakarot implores, giving him sad puppy dog eyes.

Disgusted by Kakarot's behaviour that was starting to get on his nerves. He could also see that despite his refusal this would only lead him into acquiring a further headache if this idiot continued to badger him in this manner, gritting his teeth snarling. "Fine, but keep out of my way."

Kakarot immediately smiles. "That's great. Thanks Vegeta."

God, he was tempted to punch him in that stupid smiling face as he watched Kakarot and Tora steps into the gravity room. Kakarot was happily bouncing around as he made his way over to the far side of the room and away from him before he started stretching. Frowning, he observes that the gravity has no effect on them at all. Nappa and Raditz would have been bent over and begging that he turned the gravity down by now. Intrigued and annoyed by this, he asks. "Kakarot how high does the gravity in your training room go to?"

"Oh, 500 times gravity." Kakarot shrugs dismissively as he continued with his stretches in 250 time's normal gravity.

"500!" Vegeta say's surprised, his eyebrows rising to the sky and his eyes bugging out a little. He didn't know that they trained that high and why did they get to train in that level of gravity and not him! He was furious that his training chamber only went up to 250. He would certainly have to take this up with the human woman. There was no way was he going to let this slide. If they trained at that level so would he.

"Yeah, but Bulma won't let us train in there until she has done upgrading it. She said it was going to be awesome when she finished with it." Kakarot says as he rubbed his chin in thought. "I don't know why she insisted in doing it though as there was nothing wrong with our training room. She did insist it would be beneficial and told us to wait and see. Bulma can be kinda scary if you make her mad." Kakarot states with a shrug. Bouncing on his toes and turning to Tora. "You ready for a spar?"

"Yeap! Bring it on." Tora remarks as he crouches down into a stance.

Huh! He was even more intrigued in what the little minx was up to with the training room. He was their Prince and if anyone should get the better training room it should be him! Yeap he was definitely going to have a word with her next time they meet. He would have to show her just exactly who was her betters and where her priorities should lie. Upgrading the gravity room for these two plebeians... yes he would show her.

Vegeta pauses in his training and decides to watch the two spar for a while. His father always told him to observe others. As it was always best know your opponents techniques, it would show any weakness his opponent may have. Not that he thought that either of these two idiots could show him anything he didn't already know. But it was worth watching just in case.

As he observed, it was clear to him that Kakarot was the better fighter. Not only in strength but also in technique, but Tora could not be discounted either. He showed more promise in fighting ability than Raditz did, and appeared to hold his own quite well against Kakarot. Though he could tell that Kakarot was was holding back on Tora, and this annoyed him for no apparent reason. He never held back against his opponent, and was surprised that Kakarot did. It now got him thinking that Kakarot did the same when they fought earlier, and he was not happy with that thought. Watching as Tora got slammed into another wall. He decided he wanted another 'spar' with Kakarot.

"Kakarot!" He yells. "You will spar with me now."

Tora scrapes himself off the floor and grins back up at Kakarot. "Well looks like I get a catch to rest a little, while you go and spar with Prince Vegeta. This I have gotta see." He says as he winks at Kakarot.

Kaka rot smiles at Tora and shrugs, he turns back to Vegeta. "Okay Vegeta. If that is what you want. But I thought that you didn't want us to interrupt your training."

Why the nerve of this cretin how dare he! It was about time he put him in his place. "You're not interrupting." He states arrogantly turning his nose up and crossing his arm over his chest. "I am in the mood to spar and you are honoured to be my punching bag." Vegeta says as he turns and sneers at Tora before dismissing him. "Seeing as your friend here is not up to the task, you will have to do."

"Cool, whenever you're ready Vegeta." Kakarot grins before his face turns serious and he crouches into a stance.

He couldn't believe it, as he reflected back to his spar with Kakarot. The idiot gave him on hell of a fight. He hadn't had this much fun in a long while. He had only managed to beat Kakarot by finally using some very dirty moves, which he had learned from life as one of Frieza's elites. He enjoyed the challenge and was surprised by Kakarot overall. Perhaps he was not so much of an idiot as he thought when it came to fighting, but it did prove to him, that he HAD held back on Tora. Why the fool would hold back against his friend disturbed him. He couldn't understand why he would do such a thing. It would not help his friend in the long run. Not that he cared either way, it just puzzled him.

There was one comment that Kakarot made that made him pause for thought. Kakarot had commented. 'That the only person so far that could match him in a fight before, was the human female, Bulma.' He was astonished and annoyed when Kakarot happily stated that he was a better fighter than Bulma. Of course he would be the better fighter, it was given and how dare he be placed in the same category of fighter as this female. Who was a god damn human after all? Were human's stronger than he believed them to be. No! It just wasn't possible all the other humans he met, pissed their pants when he even approached them. So why would Kakarot say that the best opponent that he had fought to date was her. This place was fucked up crazy if he was being compared to an Earth female, it had infuriated him? How could she be better than Tora? Who was as good as Raditz, if not better? He just couldn't get his head around it, maybe Kakarot had, had one too many knocks to the head. He had originally thought that she was only the main tech for the gravity rooms. He didn't think she could fight as well as the fool claimed she could.

She had plagued his mind before with her alluring scent and enticing body, and he had awakened only this morning with her in his thoughts and a raging hard-on. She was captivating him even more than he liked, now he really wanted to know how much of a fighter she really was. Thinking back to when she challenged him to kill her and her retort if he tried, he had never been so surprised by any female before. Never had any female dared to threaten to maim him in the way that she had. He really didn't know what to make of it.

Stepping out of the shower and flaring his Ki to dry himself as he made his way to his bed. He needed to dispel any thoughts of enticing and alluring females, and concentrate to getting stronger to defeat Frieza. This was his goal, his dream and he wasn't going to allow some little female to distract him away from this. No, he was going to train as much as he could while he was here, before he would get called upon to do another mission by Frieza.

This resolved, he steered his thoughts in the direction of achieving this goal. Perhaps beating the shit out of Kakarot would help him in his reflexes. He was stronger and trickier in fighting than he initially gave him credit for. He was forced to rethink his strategy when he had fought against him earlier. The usual brutal beatings that he gave Nappa and Raditz did not apply when he fought against Kakarot. He planned on sparing a little more often with Kakarot and maybe this female if the chance arose. He would not deviate from goal.

As lay back on his back naked on his bed and rubbed his hands against his eyes as he thought of the punishing and gruelling workout that he would have to endure. Maybe he would get Kakarot to beat him to a point where he needed to go into a healing chamber in order to give his strength an extra boast. This he could do, even though it would be humiliating, but it would be all in the name of getting stronger, and this was what he needed to be. He didn't care how he got stronger, as long as he did.

Kakarot and Tora had also mentioned that in the up and coming tournament there was no Ki allowed. Which meant only strength and skill prevailed. Maybe he would indulge in entering the tournament. Originally his was not interested in entering as he thought it would be beneath him and neither members of his squad would provide him with any sort of a challenge. As much as he would love to show them up, he thought it as a waste of his time. But Kakarot however was a different story, and if only because of him, he may decide to enter the damn thing after all. Tora had said that the training rooms would be closed to general use while the tournament was on. Only allowing only the fighters entered in the tournament to train in those rooms. He could demand that the training rooms be available to him and he was sure that they would oblige him. He didn't like the thought of being told that the room would be unavailable to him. He may have to kill someone if that be the case. Then he was sure to get in a fight with the female. Chuckling at that thought, he might just do it to provoke her.

Disgusted where his training of thought was leading, he banished the thought immediately and resigned himself to get some sleep. Turning his thoughts once again to his most favourite thought of all, and that was Frieza dead beneath his boot, as he drifts off into sleep.

Waking earlier than usual he decides to start the day early with his training. Being well rested from the previous night and any unwanted thoughts now banished in to the dark recess of his brain.

He makes his way down to the training rooms as he contemplates his training and the possibility of getting Kakarot to spar with him. As much of an idiot he portrayed, he was less of an idiot when it came to fighting and he could see the benefit to sparing with him. Entering the level for the training rooms he was surprised to find that his training room was in use, and was even more surprised when the person currently occupying the training room he used was the human female, Bulma. Lowering his Ki, he decided that he would take advantage of this situation and observe the female while she was training. He was curious and it would be a perfect opportunity to satisfy his curiosity.

Stealthily he entered the side room and situated himself by the observation window, but made sure he was out of sight from her view. His mouth drops at the sight before him. He certainly didn't expect her to be training with the droids, and he watched her as she battled against them. She was only fighting two against two droids at present, but it was clear she was in complete command of the glowing Ki that was directed back from the droids. As she snatched some from the air and others just skimming past her only for her to spin around and retrieve them at the last moment before blasting them back towards the droids. He had watched many fighters train, but he had never seen anyone as graceful as her. She was truly a sight to behold and what a fine sight she was, in her tight training shorts and tight training top exposing her taught stomach muscles. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath trying to gather his thoughts and regain his control. He would NOT let this female affect him. He was better than this, his thoughts turned into anger at himself and at the female before him for making him slip his control. Focus was what he needed. Pulling his mind back before it head down to the gutter and beyond and the anger then turned into blind fury at the female before him for tempting him to slip his control. He then turned his fury towards the temptation in front of him and glared at her.

Upon his glare she froze and her head snap in his direction and he watched as she quickly dispersed the Ki blasts. He continued to glare as she walked over and turn off the gravity and grabbing a towel before quickly wiping the sweat that was on her body. He glare intensified as she stomped over to bench and pick up her skirt and quickly wrapping it around her body and tying it off at the side. He was still glaring as he made his way through the door of the training room. He did nothing more than glare when she acknowledged his presence with a curt nod in his direction, before gathering her things together to leave the gravity room. He continued his vicious glare as a snarl started to form upon his lips, as she paused as if to say something to him and then she shook her head before turning to the door. His ferocious glare accompanied with a nasty snarl on his lips his eyes followed her out of the room and only when the door closed did he turn to the gravity console and begin his training. No he would NOT lose control!

Creepy, was all that Bulma thought was she exited the training room. She couldn't understand what had crawled up his arse and died and frankly she didn't care.

She had been up all night working on the upgrade and she want to get in some training before head off to bed. She had installed most of the hardware and the converter into the room and now she just finished linking it all together. She started her system programme check from the computer which was linked with the drive that Troluk had given her. It was a lot easier than she thought it would be. Everything was practically done for her, with the converter, drive and blue prints she was given to her and all that she needed to do was incorporate that information so it would function with her training room. Simple! She thought, but it had still proven to be a challenge even with everything laid out in black and white for her. Now that she was running a system check on the computer, she had decided that she had been neglecting her training while doing the upgrade and thought she would get some training done before going to bed.

She had been up most of the night, as she was eager and just too excited to stop working when it was so near completion. She couldn't wait to see the finished results. Instead of going straight to bed she decided that a good workout was in order, it was the early hours of the morning and she didn't think anyone would be up and using the general training rooms at that time in the morning.

While she had been thinking of finishing off her training and going to bed, was when she felt as if someone was watching her. Scanning the area for any intruders she could just make out someone was on the other side of door by the viewing window. Turning her head quickly in that direction and abruptly stopped with her training, in order to confront the person on the other side of the door. She was ready to take the head off the person who dare to intrude on her training. Glancing at the clock she noted that it was still early and as far as she knew no one came to the training rooms at this time of the morning. Deciding that she need to get some sleep anyway, she turned off the gravity and grabbed a towel quickly wiping the excess sweet from her body. She would not let the intruder know that they had unsettled her, and decided she would casually prepare herself to leave the room. All the while preparing herself in case of an attack. It wasn't until she had put on her skirt did the intruder make himself known.

She was not really surprised to see Vegeta strolling into the room with his arms crossed over his chest glaring at her. She knew he used this training room and knew that he was an early riser and was generally in the training room around 7 in the morning. She had thought that she would have been finished and out of the room before he came down for his training. She had not anticipated that he would be up this early and catch her training.

She thought that he must only be pissed off because she was using the training room and she quickly decided to just brazen it out and get the hell out of there. When she had turned and nodded to acknowledge him, she had expected for him to at least make some snarky comment, but no he said nothing and he just continued to glare at her as if she was nasty bug he found under his boot.

She was really too tired to bother with the angry Prince. She had paused and was going to ask him 'what the fuck was up with him' but in the end she was just content to just ignore him and leave as quickly as possible, but boy did he give her the creeps. She felt his angry eyes boring into her as she left the room and felt a slight shiver run down her spine. She thought that if he was this annoyed just because she was using the room, she certainly didn't want to get into any type of fight with him at the moment. She was too tried and her wits were frazzled, even if it did annoy her that he seem to think that he owned the place. Any other time she would have given him a piece of her mind, but she just didn't want this little twat to annoy her any further and besides her bed was calling her.

After quickly checking on the upgrade she noted that the information was still going through the system check and would not be complete until later that day. She headed off to her apartment satisfied but feeling rather weary and she needed a quick shower before jumping into bed.

After settling into her bed she thought back to those intense and dark angry eyes that were still boring into her mind, they disturbed her for reasons she couldn't explain and she felt another shiver ran down her spine before she fell asleep.

She woke jolted out of her dream, her eyes darting around the room in panic. Her mind trying to grasp the nightmare that she had just awoken from. She could only remember some fragments and of her being frighten and scared trying to get out of somewhere, but she didn't recognise where she was. It was a dark, dank and eerie, she was tied to something which she couldn't see and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't escape the bonds that secured her. She knew that there were eyes watching her it gave her chills and no matter where she looked she couldn't see who was watching her. It was just too dark to see anything and her body felt like it was in pain. The door to the room was just opening and she tried to make out the shadow that was coming into the room. She couldn't see who it was, but could feel their eyes boring into her with disgust and hatred and that was when she was jolted out of her dream.

Flopping back onto her bed and taking a few steadying breaths, she closed her eyes to control her mind and bring it back into where she was. It was just a dream, she kept chanting over and over as slowly she calmed herself down.

Starting to feel a little foolish at getting so worked up over a dream, she rose from her bed and began to prepare herself for the day ahead. Looking towards her clock it was now early afternoon and her parents were expecting her later this evening as they were going to have a little get together for her father's Birthday.

After getting out of the shower she felt a lot better and decided that she would do no more work for today. Perhaps she had over done it the night before. She had not gotten into bed until the early hours of the morning and she felt she deserved a day off.

Deciding to leave her hair down for today she made her way to her wardrobe and pulled out a red halter top dress, which fitted closely to body, then flared around her hips and softly flowed down her thighs stopping just above her knees. Leaving her legs bare, she slipped on a pair of red heels. Going with light makeup to completed her look. Checking herself over in the mirror, she smiled at her reflection and gave herself a wink, before she excited her apartment and made her way over to her parents rooms to offer her mother some help in preparations for the small soiree held for her father.
