All that could be heard in the lonely room was the quick paced breathing of a small boy. Gohan awoke. He looked around him wth sleepified eyes to find different pair of eyes fixed on him. Vegeta acknoleged the boys awakening with an interested smirk. '' Awake are we brat? You sleep like the dead, or potential dead'' Gohan was too young to catch the hidden meaning in Vegeta's comment but couldn't bring himself to speak. '' How old are you boy?'' Gohan hisitated then raised his hand showing four fingers. '' Do you miss you father boy?'' Gohan's eyes lit up at the mention of his father and he managed to produce an enthusiastic nod. Vegeta's face twisted into an angry scowl '' Well that's dissapointing boy! No worries, in time you'll have no memory of your life before you arrived here. What's your name!''
Gohan was taken back by the man's violent tone. Jeez, why does he have to shout all the time. ''It's Gohan Mr...uh?'' Vegeta growled '' You either refrer to me as sir or Prince Vegeta! Do you understand!?''
Gohan nodded again ''Yes sir. Are you a real prince?'' Gohan's curiosity overcame him as he relised that a misplaced question could get him into trouble'
Vegeta scowled deeply '' Insolent little brat! I am the prince of an almost extinct warrior race called the saiyans. There are only four pure blooded saiyans left, Myself, Radditz and another called Nappa and lets not forget your weak second rate father.
Gohan absorbed everything that was said but was met with some confusion. '' What about me Mr... uh sir?''
Vegeta sneered '' You? You'r nothing but a pathetic half-breed but half a saiyan non the less. Under normal circumstances I would have destroyed you on site but desperate times call for desperate measures'' Vegeta could see that Gohan didn't understand. ''What I mean you fool is that I need every drop of saiyan blood I can muster. Why is not important to you right now. All you need to know is you either train hard or die! If you slack I'll kill you myself''
Gohan was scared again, and started to sob. Vegeta reacted with a growl '' No crying! You already prove your weakness! Dry your tears and follow me.''
Vegeta left the room and Gohan followed. Leaving the house Vegeta began walking towards a large dome shaped structure. Gohan followed quickly as getting lost in the strange crowd was still a fear of his. ''Where are we going Mr...sir?''
''Training room. Time to see if you're worth the effort'' Gohan didn't know what was meant by training
Vegeta looked down at the small child and could see his fear. Although it enraged him he couldn't help feeling a slight bit of pity which enraged him even more. The anger showed in his voice '' Walk faster! We don't have all day'' Gohan walked a little faster. Finally the two arrived at the building they were seeking. Vegeta walked in ignoring the questioning stared of the others in the room. Gohan felt all their eyes on him and drew closer to Vegeta but not too close as he was very wary of him. Vegeta walked up to a strange red reptilian like creature with a red crest on it's head. ''The creature looked down at Gohan then back at Vegeta. ''He doesn't look like much Vegeta are you sure about this? Vegeta didn't reply. '' I mean if Frieza finds out he'll destroy us all. Vegeta gave him a confident stare ''It's a risk im willing to take. We need everything we can produce to destroy Frieza and this brat will make a useful contribution, i'll make sure of that. Are we agreed Ajax?'' The reptile looked at him for a moment then nodded '' Very well, go ahead then''
Vegeta motioned for Gohan to follow him. Vegeta led him into a massive silver empty room. Radditz and a huge grinning bald headed man were standin in the middle. Vegeta turned to Gohan and smirked ''This is where you will spend most of your life in training''
''Yeah brat prepare for pain'' Gohan looked at Radditz who had just spoken then back to Nappa. Nappa eyed the boy with little interest. '' What'r you looking at kid?''
Gohan crept behind Vegeta who kicked him out in the open sending Gohan flying out into the open. '' I told you boy, I will tolerate no cowardice from you'' Vegeta glowered at the boy as Radditz and Nappa laughed. Gohan got to his feet and tried to keep a straight face. Vegeta smiled '' Good! But how long can you keep it up? Radditz has informed me that you posses a great power that borders on your own which is not anything to brag about anyway. I think Radditz is lying but we'll soon find out. Radditz...'' Vegeta extended his hand towards Gohan '' Go ahead.''
Radditz smiled '' With pleasure.'' He then proceeded to walk casually up to Gohan only to produce a crashing kick into the boys body sending him hurtling across the room into a wall clear on the other side. Gohan fell to the floor and didn't move. Radditz laughed '' Oh well, i guess i was lying afterall'' Vegeta shrugged and began walking out the door. Nappa looked towards Gohan with disbeleif '' He's getting up!'' All heads turned towards Gohan. Gohan stood up slowly with a half dazed half angry look on his face. His eyes were glazed over as if he were sleepwalking. Radditz whisteled in amusement. '' Well kid either you're standing up unconscious or you're gonna put up a measlier fight than your pathetic father did.'' The mention of his daddy made Gohan grit his teeth. Radditz continued with his insults ''Thats right kid a beat his ass so bad he's probably dead from his wounds right now! Do you hear me, your little daddy's dead!''
It was too much. His daddy dead? His smiling, loving, powerful solitude dead? Gohans eyes went white. A strange force took him over as a huge blue aura overpowered his body. The floor and walls around him began to crack and tear. The three saiyans watched in astonishment as thier scouter reading went through the roof. Vegeta's scouter exploded followed by Radditz and Nappa's.
Gohan let out a sickening scream and a giant golden aura enveloped him. His hair was waving but still black and his eyes were still glazed white. '' Daddy!!!'' Gohan shouted before rocketing towards Radditz with unbeleivable speed. Radditz was shocked and couldn't move. Gohan launched himself into Radditz' chest sending him screaming backwards crashing through the far wall behind him. Vegeta and Nappa hadn't moved and were looking on in astoundment.
.Gohan let out one more painful cry before his aura died down as quickly as it had come.He hovered in a standing position for a few moments longer before collapsing on the floor. He was covered in bruises and deep cuts as his body couldn't take the enormous energy that had just passed through it.
Vegeta's whole body was shaking with shock. Nappa's smug grin was long gone '' What jus...?'' Vegeta gave him a look that told him that it was best to shut up at that moment. Nappa rubbed the back of his head. '' Uh, i'd better see if Radditz is still alive'' With that he exited the room.
Vegeta was still shaking with rage. How could this be possible? A mere half cast child possessing more power than the prince of all Saiyans? His power was unbeleivable. And that aura? He nearly transformed into a super saiyan! Him a second class soldiers child! Vegeta quivered with anger before launching a kick sending Gohan across the room. He turned around and tried to regain control, clenching his fists and looking at the ground with and anger contorted face. He gave himself a full minute before walking across the room and retrieving the boy. He was half happy and half dismayed to see he was still alive. Vegeta carried him out of the room and into the conrol center. Ajax was there to meet him. Vegeta could tell that the surprised look Ajex had on his face meant he knew. Ajax looked at Vegeta unblinkingly ''Incredible'' Vegeta ignored him.'' How strong?!''
Ajax looked at his clipboard in disbeleif and paused a while. Vegeta bacame impatient'' Well!?''
''100 000 Vegeta, that was at maximum. His powerlevel skyrocketed! It was incredible. I've never seen anything like it before.
Vegeta stared blankly. Ajax continued '' It rose from 750...This kid is surreal.
Vegeta gave Ajax a concerned stare. '' Frieza will know...power like that can't possibly go undetected.''
Ajax shook his head'' No need for concern, the training dome prevents any outside detection. Everything's ok''
Vegeta looked relieved. He dropped the boy on the floor. '' Put him in a healing healing module.'' He left the building and walked around the side. Nappa was trying to free Radditz from a slab of concrete. After much effort he eventually managed. Vegeta continued walking. This is insane! This kid could put an end to Frieza. After he does then I will destroy him! Vegeta was satisfied with his deduction. He arrived home and sat down at a desk with his hands together resting his chin on top of them. He sat that way for over an hour. Tomorrow I train alone. I need to clear my head. That brat will not permanently exceed me......
