Chapter Five: Vegeta's Journey
Vegeta was flying over another city. He had been travelling for hours and had left North City far behind. His head was buzzing with thoughts.
Who was this person? He had enormous energy. Could he really be stronger than Kakarot?
The energy had almost disappeared. Could this person had stopped? Vegeta flew down and landed at the foot of a shrine.
The Torii gates were tall above Vegeta, leading to a tree lined path and haiden. A man stood on the path, sweeping away, before looking up and noticing Vegeta.
"Welcome to the Masaki Shrine. How may I be of assistance to you?"
The old man with long grey hair and a moustache stood holding a brush. He pushed his glasses up his nose and walked forward.
Vegeta was quite startled. He had not noticed him when he landed. His power level was too low to be the one he had sensed before.
"Where am I?" Vegeta demanded, "And who are you?"
The man grinned.
"You are at the Masaki family shrine, in Okayama. I am Katsuhito Masaki, the Shinto priest. Welcome stranger. How may I assist you?"
Vegeta scowled at the man's enthusiasm, when the world was in threat because of an abnormal power level.
"I am looking for someone. I followed their energy here."
Katsuhito stared at Vegeta. The sun reflected on his glasses as he silently stood as still as a statue.
"I need to take a look around, with or without your permission." Vegeta said, beginning to walk past the man.
"Very well." Katsuhito continued to sweep, allowing Vegeta to head towards the house at the back of the shrine. The energy was beginning to get slightly weaker, but Vegeta knew that it was nearby. Whatever it was.
