It was the next day after the incident in the training center. Vegeta had much concern on his mind. This is ridiculous! So much of my thought going to that little impurity! How am I going to hide him from Frieza for much longer with a power like that? What if I can't retain control of the boy? Vegeta scowled deeply into a glass of water. He got up and took his empy breakfast plate into the kitchen. Vegeta then proceed to leave for the training dome. Vegeta hastened through the busteling crowed in a hurry but not knowing why. Why am I so eager to see the little brat. Vegeta in the far reaches of his mind hoped that the boy was ok half out of a need for him and half out of pure concern. One thing is for sure, that kid is undoubtably a saiyan. Vegeta arrived at his destination to be met by ajax. ''Good morning Vegeta.'' Vegeta gave a nod '' Where's the boy?''
'' He's out of recovery and is doing fine. Vegeta looked releived for a moment ''And his powerlevel? What is it now?
''Ah yes, the boy. He's out of recovery. He definitly posseses the saiyan quality of a largely increased powerlevel after being beaten towards an inch of his life. It rose from 750 on his arrival to 25 000 after yesterday. Ajax raised an eyebrow thats only 7000 short of your maximum Vegeta.
Vegeta scowled deeply ignoring the ignorant comment passed. ''Where are Nappa and Radditz?''
''They're already here and their levels have been recorded as of today as well.'' Vegeta showed only mild interest as their levels were never much at all.
''Nappa is still at 4000 but Radditz' has increased quite immensely after yesterday's encounter with the boy.'' Vegeta raised an eyebrow, his interest considerably raised.
'' Well? What is it?'' Ajax flipped through the notes on his clipboard, ''10 000, quite an unusual increase after just one battle, on the other hand Radditz did get beaten to quite a state. He required more time in recovery than the boy did'' Vegeta smiled at this mildly amused and considerably happier ''Really? Nappa won't be happy about that. I on the other hand am, as you know it's necissary for us to gain in strength as quickly as we can. Ajax looked concerned '' When will Frieza be returning to the station?''
Vegeta also considered this question '' Not for a few days. On the subject of Frieza, the boy's power has increased dramatically and will most likely continue to do so. Until he is probably trained to supress his power we will have to use other means...Any suggestions?!''
Ajax looked at Vegeta unworriedly '' I had already thought about that. It's simple really. I created a device that is worn like a neckless and sends impulses throughout the wearers body which send out fake impulses making it seem like his powerlevel is inferior.
Vegeta had a satisfied look on his face '' Excellent Ajax, you've done well. Let the boy rest today. Ajax nodded '' As you wish.''
Vegeta nodded and departed for the training facility. Nappa and Radditz were waiting for him. Nappa sporting his usual wide grin and Radditz looking reserved but prepared.for training. '' Well Radditz i'm glad to see you're still alive after that thumping the little kid gave you.'' Radditz looked away in embarassment. Nappa laughed '' Yeah, had a hard time scraping him out of the wall as well.
Vegeta turned his attention to Nappa. '' I wouldn't laugh if i was you Nappa. That little encounter helped Radditz quite considerably.'' Nappa looked questioningly at Vegeta.
'' What? You weren't told?'' Nappa shook his head. Vegeta raised a corner of his mouth in a light smile. '' To put it simpy Radditz isn't the weakling anymore Nappa, you are.''
Nappa's face reverted into a frown '' What do you mean?''
''What I mean fool is Radditz now exceeds you in power'' Vegeta waited a few seconds to allow the information to penetrate Nappa's reasonably thick scull. Vegeta then looked to Radditz '' You have advanced to 10 000 well done. As for you Nappa you're still a pathetic 4 000. Nappa turned his head muttering darkly to himself.
Vegeta walked to the middle of the room. '' You two train on your own today. Ajax will be monitoring you session and if it's not satisfactoy you will deal with me. Understood?'' Both saiyans nodded. ''Good''
Vegeta turned around to leave. '' Ok Ajax, start them off and no mercy. Vegeta looked up to the contol room to see Ajax giving him the thumbs up sign. On impulse Vegeta decided to see the boy before he left. He opened the door slightly and looked in. Gohan was sitting upright in his bed silently crying. Vegeta's anger flared. Possessing such potentialy great power and he's a pathetic weakling. It's not fair. I should posses those powers! Me not him. It's my birthright! What I have taken my whole life to acheive was handed to him without any effort. Vegeta pushed the door open with some force sending it banging against the wall. Gohan fell backwards out of fright, his eyes large. Vegeta glared at him with murderous eyes. The urge to destroy the boy was unbeleivable. Vegeta lunged forward and grabbed the boy by the arm and lifted him into the air. His eyes cold he extended a hand and produced a ki ball. Do it! Do it know! you don't need him! You don't need anyone. Gohan had remained silent but the fear in his eyes was heartbreaking. For a stabbing second Vegeta struggled with himself. Good sense overcame his pride and he dropped Gohan in mid air. The boy fell to the ground not taking his eyes off of Vegeta. He could see something else in Vegeta's eyes. Something other than the anger and hostility which was normally there. '' You're training starts tomorrow''
Vegeta left the room and slammed the door leaving a shaking Gohan behind. Looking murdreous Vegeta continued to the docking bay. He was met by an engineer. ''Ah Prince Vegeta. What can I do for you sir?''
'' I need a pod.''
''Yes sir. There's a free pod in hangar five'' Vegeta turned and proceeded to the hangar. Vegeta entered the pod and punched in the co-ordinates of a planet called Aristodemos. The pods computer system gave a warning beep and flashed red on the navigation screen. Warning user, the planet Aristodemos is a level 5 danger zone. Proceed or cancel. Vegeta smirked and hit proceed before pressing the blue button. The pod burst into life and cleared the exit hurtling into space. I've neglected my training and now I'll pay for it. Vegeta typed Aristodemos into the computer and received the planets information. I've head about this place and it's the perfect place to increase my strength or die trying. The computers monotonous voice began droning. Aristodemos, co-ordinates X53. Aristodemos is the only planet in it's solar sytem which orbits a dying star. The star as a result of it impending destruction releases radioactive energy which fuels the inhabitants of Aristodemos causimg them to develop stronger than normal power. The Aristodemions are a primitive race but posses great power. They are warlike and unstable due to radioactive poisoning. It is not recomended that this planet be visited....
Vegeta smiled to himself. Perfect, exactly what I need. This is where I can receive proper training. An hour later the pod started to slow down. Vegeta who had been sleeping lightly opened his eyes to see the most unappealing planet he's ever seen. It was black as night with rippling red cracks and craters. So this is the place? The pod broke through the planets atmosphere and crash landed into the planet. The pod has caused a massive crater.The door slid open and Vegeta stepped out. He immedietly fell to his knees. It was as if the floor were sucking him into itself like a magnet. Vegeta struggled to his feet, his body shaking with the effort.The gravity field here is huge. He stood upright managing a smile. This will suite my training well. Vegeta was unaware that he was being watched. Vegeta began an effort to walk. He did so with mild difficulty. The gravity must be ateast 20 times normal he thought to himself. Vegeta powered up to half his strength. He could move around more easily now. Good, now to find an unfortunate inhabitant.
Vegeta didn't have long to look. An energy blast blast whizzed past his head and exploded against a massive pile of rocks scattering them around the area. Vegeta turned to see a most unfortunate looking creature. It had flaking blue skin and a large multitude of black hair everywhere. It's dress was primitive looking and it stood about 7 feet tall as estimated by Vegeta. He stared in interest for a second before letting an extremely arrogant smirk slide across his face and stood with one hand on his hip. ''You're as repulsive as your planet. The Aristodemion also studying him with interest let loose a mocking laugh. '' I thought I sensed the energy of another being. It's not often I get the chance to destroy others.
Vegeta ignored the aliens comment and began to power up '' Let's get started then shall we?'' The alien smiled and attacked Vegeta with incredible speed. Vegeta was taken back and not prepared for the strenght of the blow that was produced sending him hurtling backwards. He stopped himself in mid air with his ki. Vegeta wiped the blood from his mouth. He had underestimated his opponent. I'll need to power up fully to get out of this one alive. Still in the air Vegeta began to power up. A massive dark blue aura shot up around him and began to rotate. His hair began waving and his eyes glazed over in concentration. The air around him became disturbed and stared blowing hard in all directions as a result of the extent of his power. The Aristodemian raised his arms over his face and took a more powerful stance in an effort not to be blown back.
Vegeta let out a final scream forcing the last of his power to surface. Vegeta looked at his advisary. '' Be honoured, i'm at full power'' The alien charged for Vegeta and Vegeta for him. They clashed into each other, sending radiating white shockwaves in all directions. The fight was intense and both parties had connected few blows. Vegeta was enjoying himself as he had had very little competition in his training until then. His eyes were filled with battle lust and the adrenaline was pumping. As the fight progressed Vegeta soon learned that the alien was stonger than he was and he was starting to loose ground. Vegeta failed to block a punch landing square in the middle of his face being the catylist for a barage of connections on the aliens part. After ten direct hits the alien kneed Vegeta in the stomach causing him to bend over and cough up a few drops of blood. Clenching both hands together into a double fist the alien produced a crunching blow sending Vegeta crashing to the ground. Rising from his crater Vegeta let out a growl. He was injured badly. Holding his right arm Vegeta slowly began lifting off of the ground. '' Not bad, but you won't win'' The alien ignored him and charged. Before he could connect another punch Vegeta released a ki ball into the aliens chest at close quarters stunning him for a second. Vegeta took full advantage of the oppertunity. He powered up a ki flame and launched himself into a heavy flying kick. The kick landed securely into the aliens face sending it spinning backwards. Vegeta forced his injured arm into an outstretched position allowing the bottom parts of his palms to touch opening hs hands like a butterflies wing. A small pink energy ball began to grow in the palms of his hands. Vegeta exerted himself to put every last srap of energy he had left into he blast. The alien had not yet fully recovered and was looking dazed and confused. The blast was ready. '' Gallit Gun!'' The blast was launched throwing the area into a frenzy. Huge boulders and outcrops of rock were being flung around because of the power of his blast as if they were made of gras.
The blast hit the alien squarely vaporising it on the moment of impact. Vegeta was breathing heavily, shaking like a sick man. Deep satisfaction in his eyes. He fell to the ground causing a crack where he landed. With much effort he managed to get into a crawling position and began the painfully slow process of crawling back to his pod.Finally reaching it he sauntered in. The computer flashed into life. Vegeta hit the auto return button which would take him back to the station. The pod roared into life and shot into the air. Vegeta had nothing left and passed out exerted to his limit.....
