The Prince of All Saiyans stood at the bottom of the stairs, his arms crossed. It was hard to tell if he was actually mad or if that was just his normal expression. "You hear me boy? You didn't go deaf from that last blast did you?" "He's fine Vegeta, Gohan was just leaving anyway." Bulma responded.

"Actually," Gohan spoke up," Vegeta do you want to spar?" Gohan imagined he looked as surprised as Vegeta and Bulma did, but he couldn't think of any other way to get Vegeta alone. If Bulma heard what he was going to say mixed with what she already knew, she'd puzzle things out immediately.

"Fine brat, I've wanted to fight this Ascended Super Saiyan since yesterday anyway." The two entered Vegeta's gravity training room; The rationale being that SSJ2 was stronger than Vegeta by far but, Gohan had never trained in the gravity room so his body wasn't used to 350 times Earth's gravity as the prince was. This would make things fair.

The Saiyans transformed and Vegeta turned on the gravity generator. They began to fight and it was epic, Vegeta gaining an early lead due to Gohan's inexperience in the chamber. As the two would part after a flurry of blows Gohan would throw in questions about Saiyan biology.

"Think of this fight as payment for my curiosity." "Very well but it better not distract you." They clashed again. "Saiyans were a tiny race but wanted to remain purebloods, never tainted by aliens right?" "What of it?" They clashed again.

How did you get past the dangers of inbreeding? Raditz said there were only ever a few thousand of you, that would make the genepool extremely small."

"The Saiyans are a warrior race, we adapt to survive, no matter what. This was before my time but what scientists we had began selectively wiping out traits that made us weaker, one by one."

They clashed again, Gohan suddenly recovering from Vegeta's ongoing assault and bouncing back. 'That form is incredible, the kid is already acclimating to the gravity.' "So I'm guessing that was one trait they somehow wiped out." "Don't ask me to explain, it I'm a fighter not a doctor!" Vegeta slammed his fist into Gohan's cheekbone. "Short answer yes! Now stop learning about your half-culture and fight. You're getting distracted!"

Gohan spit blood on the floor, he'd gotten the answers he needed. 'For humans its bad, but the Saiyans bred it out so to speak. Alright Vegeta,' '"Here I come!" He unleashed all his power and went on the offensive, his goal wasn't even to win but to make Vegeta forget what all they had talked about with sheer excitement.

It seemed to work, combat was the prince's only apparent pastime and he relished it. They fought for several more minutes, it looked like Gohan was going to deal the knockout blow; then his body collapsed out of exhaustion. The gravity weighed him down on the floor.

This fight was over.
