Kakarott landed at his capsule house , finding his pod a few hundred metres away. Carrying Berdock in one arm he walked to the house and capsulised it. Quickly he snatched the capsule before Berdock escaped his grasp and tried to grab it.

Kakarott sharply and assertively stated in his native language as well as motioned"Berdock, not food." Berdock looked up, looking at Kakarott then the capsule, seeing his father waiving his hand as if to say no. Then nodded his head in understanding wierd shiny thing not food. Looking on the ground he saw a large spiky wriggly thing crawling on the ground he grabbed it and was stung by the spikes. Kakarott looked on letting it play out. Berdock furious crushed the unprotected head in retaliation. Then upon seeing it stop moving down looked at the creature studying it before grabbing the unprotected back side and carefully removed the spines one by one. Kakarott smirked seemed his son was a smart one. Berdock then grabbed the now spineless creature and began chewing it before swallowing. Eating the creature left a bad taste in his mouth but it was a decent snack.

Kakarott remaining talking in his native language applauded his son "You certainly can feed your self but you need to learn to speak, it makes teaching everything else easier, let's start by teaching you to say my name, I am currently speaking our native language Saiyanji, you first have to learn to speak this, then I will teach you Galactic Standard. Say my name say Kakarott." Pointing to himself

Berdock tried sounding out the name "a a o" pointing to his father

Kakarott "Ka say Ka"

Berdock"Ka"

Kakarott "say Ka"

Berdock "Ka"

Kakarott "Say Ro"

Berdock "Ro"

Kakarott "say tt"

Berdock "tt"

Kakarott "now say Ka ka ro tt"

Berdock "Ka ka ro tt"

Kakarott applauded his son "well done."

Berdock clapped his hands in glee "Ka ka ro tt"

Kakarott resumed "now say your name Berdock " pointing to his son

Berdock "e o" pointed to himself

Kakarott then " say b "

Berdock "b"

Kakarott "er"

Berdock "er"

Kakarott "do"

Berdock "do"

Kakarott "ck"

Berdock "ck"

Kakarott "now put it all together b er do ck"

Berdock getting the hang of it pointed to himself "Berdock" then pointed to his father "Kakarott"

Smiling Kakarott applauded his son "well you catch on quick."

"Let's keep going, let's get you to learn all the sounds."

They kept at this for several hours until Berdock's stomach rumbled. Kakarott smiled "let's get you some food."

Berdock "let's get you some food" as he began mimicking back. Kakarott pleased but annoyed ignored him.

"I know a good hunting spot around here." As he felt for a herd of animals. In the back ground he heard his son parroting every word he said. "Let's see if you can keep up." As he suddenly took off. Berdock being taken by surprise saw his father walk at a great speed and quickly began running as fast as he could to catch up, soon he was ahead of his father.

Smiling Kakarott warned "Pace yourself, you don't want to waste all your energy getting there and not have enough energy to kill your food."

Berdock then slowed down to a jog and kept up with his fathers long gait.

Within half an hour they made it to a flat grassland sprawling with antelope. Kakarott looked down Berdock was tired but constantly pushed himself to keep up.

Kakarott stopped "right now you are too slow to catch any adult animals, but we may get lucky and a new born might be born. If that's the case you can chase it down while I protect you from its parents, but if not I will teach you this anyway. "

Berdock looked at him with wide eyes unsure of what will come next.

Kakarott sat down, Berdock followed suit. Kakarott seeing his son seated began "You have a power in your core, in your stomach if you will, there is a well of energy that sits there. Feel for it Berdock."

Berdock after a little bit of time opened his eyes in shock. Kakarott smiling knowing that his son had found it continued "bring it out to your hands and form a ball."

Berdock raised his hands to his chest height and pulled the energy out, within seconds a yellow energy ball formed in his hands. His eyes widened in wonder and awe.

Kakarott "When you have a target in sight you throw the energy at it. But you can let it disappear now."

Berdock at the order let it dissipate, he was kind of sad to see it go he wanted to throw it at something.

Kakarott then motioned to become silent and whispered to Berdock's ear "crawl as low as you can making sure to not be spotted, get as close as you can, look over there it's a faun, you should be able to take it down."

Berdock followed his fathers instructions and crawled towards the faun, when ever the mother looked up he stopped, when she dropped her guard he moved forward. He inched closer eventually getting within ten metres. Then he charged sprinting as fast as he could but the faun had heard him and started sprinting as well, however because it ran on four legs it started getting away. Determined not to let it get away he extended his hand and brought the power out of him forming a ball. Then he threw the energy at the faun, the energy struck the fauns head and exploded killing both the faun and its mother who was running next to it.

Kakarott smirked "You've got lots of power for someone so young.

Now let's teach you to skin the animal, cook your catch and make hide leather. But first drink all the blood that you can. "

Berdock then rushed to the faun and drank all the blood he could. He saw his father drinking from the dead mother.

After a few hours Berdock followed his fathers instructions, skinned both the mother and faun, built two fires, two rotary spits, cooked the two animals and made some hide clothes.

Then Kakarott realised something "Berdock, you are a saiyan, we come from a ten times higher gravity planet than this, we are aliens to this world. So to stay strong we have to wear weights always." Kakarott removed his Vegeta weights and gave them to Berdock.

"Wear this always, get used to it and get stronger. It was getting small anyway, I'll have to make another that fits my new weight and height."
