"Has a Rex II been launched?"
"No my lord. We need some time to pre-"
"As I recall, we have a Rex II ready for combat before we got here."
"My sincerest apologies sir, but I wanted to conserve the ships power so-"
"So you deactivated it?"
"...I did not think the boy would get through Rex"
"Funny how you thought this after the boy destoried Rex."
"Sir?"
"He was deactivated after you the kid defeated Rex ... and after I gave the order to launch Rex II"
"My apologies"
"They are not needed."
"Sir?"
"If Rex II is not ready then I will launch another."
"Another? ...but my lord!"
"I can see you wanted to speed things up. No sense in stopping you."
"b-b ... thank you my lord."
Lord Mal grinned, "No problem. Foot Soldier!"
"Yes sir!"
"Deliver Commander Soshito his new order, bring the boy to the ship!"
"I wonder who that can be?" Bulma walked up to the door. She was still upset about the fight she had with Vegeta. Upset, and confused. He doesn't seem to be his confident self anymore and it shows in the way he handled himself during that fight.
"Oh hello Gohan." Bulma greeted Son Gohan has she openned the door.
"Hi Bulma...is Vegeta here?" Gohan asked sounding very frustrated and upset about something.
"Yah, he's here." Bulma said sounding equally frustrated and upset, "Look in the gravity room."
"Thanks." Son Gohan said as he walked inside and ran to the gravity room.
Commander Soshito appeared in the where they had fought earlier. He assumed Son Gohan wouldn't be here, but he needed to be on the planet to sense the childs supressed ki, and here was as good a place as any.
"Who are you?" Tien asked, he didn't know who this guy was, but it was obvious he was powerful. Commander Soshito didn't even look at them as he put two fingers next to his head.
Tien reconized the technique instantly, "Oh no you don't!" Tien grabbed the unknown warriors arm.
"Tien!!" Chauzu cried as his friend and Soshito disappeared.
"Come on boy, now stay on the offensive." Vegeta encouraged as he blocked his sons half hearted punches, "Hmm?" he turned his head around to see who the 2 new kis in the room belonged to. One was Tien, and the other, more powerful kis owner remained a mystery to him.
Commander Soshito glanced at Tien, "So you came along for the ride did you?"
"Who are you?!" Tien asked quickly loosing his patients with Soshito, "and why did you bring us here?"
"Yes I would like to know that to." Vegeta stated, and added calmly, "You have 10 seconds to tell me or I will kill you."
Soshito nodded unshaken by Vegeta's threats, "You shall see in a minute." He nodded to the entrance of the door. Seconds later, Gohan entered.
"Vegeta! I-" Gohan set his eyes on Soshito, "You again."
Vegeta grinned, "You seem to be quitepopular, walk did you do? Kill one of thoose worthless humans?"
Soshito ignored Vegeta's comment and stared at Son Gohan, "Would you like to see Piccolo again?"
Tien's eyes widened as Soshito said that, "Gohan, don't listen to him."
Trunks, who had no idea what was going on, was now tugging at Commander Soshito's leg. Soshito was ignoring this fact.
"Son, get away from this baka!" Vegeta ordered his son, but he didn't listen.
Gohan took a step closer to Soshito, "Yes. Does this involve a trap?"
Soshito nodded, "It does. You will go anyways, won't you?"
"I will."
"Brat! What did I tell you?!" Vegeta said and raised his arm, "If you like that leg so much then I'll destory the rest of him and use may keep that as a toy."
"Then let's go." Soshito said putting a hand on Son Gohan's head, and raising his other hand to his head."
Vegeta raised what was happening and grabbed Trunks to try and take him off Soshito's leg. At the same time Tien tried to punch Soshito in the hopes of knocking him out with his guard down. They all arrived in a large, empty room with no walls or ceiling in site.
"You are on a ship orbitting the Earth." Soshito explained, "This room is the room we use for sparring. It's made of a strong alloy that is unbreakable."
"Oh is that so?" Vegeta said now holding Trunks with one and and aiming the other hand at the ground. He formed a small Ki blast, "I guess we'll have to test it then."
"Vegeta no!" Tien yelled trying to talk some reason into the Sayjin Prince, "What if you do break the metal? Then we'll be sucked into space!"
Gohan centered his eyes on Soshito who remained unconcerned with Vegeta's threats, "You said that we'd see Piccolo and you promised me a trap. So far I don't see either."
Commander Soshito simply pointed at a figure up ahead, "This is the both." He pointed at a creature heading from the distance.
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!" The beast said as he amerged and punched Gohan before anyone even knew he was there. Gohan quickly recovered from the punch and looked to the surface to see what had attacked him. All he could see though was Vegeta, Tien, Soshito, Trunks, and, as promised, Piccolo.
"That's not Piccolo!" Tien yelled to Gohan, "That's Piccolo's father! Earth's Devil!"
"P-piccolo's father?" Gohan said looking down at the creature which looked exactly like Piccolo.
"No not piccolo's father." Soshito said, "We merely gave him the future his father would have wanted for him."
Hmm..whatever it is, it's alot stronger then that Namekian ever was Vegeta thought, A foe like this may even give a Super Sayjin some trouble.
