Ash had arrived at his home. Pikachu jumped up at him at sat on his shoulder. Delia, Misty and Brock looked at Ash as he entered the room. "What's wrong?", Delia asked. "I don't know. We returned from the mountains, and we saw a TR chopper take off. Vegetto followed it. I guess he should be here soon.", Ash answerd. "I'm gonna take a shower. Be right back.". Ash walked up the stairs, and got his clothes ready. He noticed a few scars on his arms and body. "Probably from all that training.", he said to himself. He turned around, and at that moment Misty walked in. She almost freaked out when she saw the scars on his body. "What happened to you, Ash?!", she asked. "Take it easy, it isn't as bad as it looks.", he replied calmly. Satisfied by that asnwer, she calmed down. "Why did you come, Misty?", Ash asked. "I bet it something else than just getting something.". "Yes, I just wanted to know if everything is allright. That Super Saiyan stuff must be pretty exhausting.", she said. "Yeah, but I'm feeling just fine. I'm getting used to it.", he said, as he walked past her. "Ash.", she said, turning around. "Just don't forget our promise, okay?", she said. Ash walked back and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "I won't. I promised myself that I won't let anyone down. Especialy you.", he said. She blushed. "May I take my shower now?", he asked smiling. "Be my guest, it is your house.", and with a satisfying smile on her face she walked downstairs.
Vegetto returned about two hours later. Ash was in the backyard, trying to gain more control over his body when he was a Super Saiyan. "Ash, Vegetto has returned. Come inside please.", Delia said. Ash powered down, and walked inside. Vegetto told them everything he heard. "And now comes to most disturbing part. We can't do a thing until they show themselves.", he said. He sat down, upset that there wasn't a thing he and Ash could do. "Why don't we just bust in there?", Ash said. "No, that would cost innocent lives, even if they work for TR.", he answered. Ash wasn't satisfied. "So you just say, that we wait, until something happens?", he said angrily. "I'm afraid that's all we can do. Do you think I like to sit here? When I was there, I couldn't sense a thing. So we cannot prepare ourselves. But we can try to become stronger than we are now.", he said. Ash nodded, and walked outside, where trained himself again. Vegetto also went outside. "Turn the T.V. on. If something happens, we should know it soon enough.", he said. Then he started training with Ash. They both perfected their moves and skills, for the rest of the week.
After five days, they where still training. Ash learned to use a stronger Kamehameha, while Vegetto mastered other energy attacks. But most important they reached a new level of strength, and surpassed both Super Saiyan. A little later, Misty walked outside. "Yo, guys! Something is on the news!", she yelled. Vegetto and Ash stopped their battle, powered down, and went inside, where everyone sat around the T.V. "…and this is what's left of the western part of Pewter City. Witnesses claimed they saw a pillar of light appear, which destroyed most of this part of the city. Further information is still not available, we'll keep you informed as more of this tragedy is unfold.", a reporter said. Behind him lay debris of what once was a nice neighbourhood. "This can't be happening! I must leave at once!", Brock said. He wanted to know if his father, brothers and sisters were allright. "I understand, but you must realize that is still dangerous, Brock", Ash said. "I don't care! Take me there! NOW!", Brock yelled. "Allright, I'll go.", Vegetto said, as he walked outside. Brock followed him. "Hold on tight, I'm going as fast as I can. And Ash, don't fight that thing if it comes here, unless it is absolutely necessary. Got it?", he said. "Yes, but if he tries to destroy my hometown, he'll have to get by me first. Got that?", he replied. Vegetto raised his thumb, and then took off. He then flew as fast as he could to Pewter City. Ash watched them go. He looked into the sky. "Allright, whatever you are, let me tell you that I ain't gonna let you destroy my hometown!", he thought. And he walked inside, to watch the news about more clues regarding the partial destruction of Pewter City.
