Training
Vegeta was now four years old. He had begun training not long after his second birthday when his lust for battle became just too strong and his excessive energy had to be channeled into a more disciplined style of fighting than the brawls that Vegeta would start with the other Saiyan children. He had now become a more than capable fighter. He could fly since he was two and throw punches well before that as those in close contact with Vegeta could tell you…including Frieza. But now he could also use powerful and accurate energy blasts too and was rarely on the planet Vegeta these days. He was either with his father when invited to join a hunt on some other planet or in Frieza's ship training practically non-stop under the watchful eye of his new body guard Nappa.
Vegeta was standing in the training room now waiting as the lights went down and waiting for the Saibamen to come out of hiding. There! His saiyan ears picked up a movement behind him, he turned around quickly and blasted the Saibaman with his ki. '1 down, 6 to go' Vegeta smirked to himself. After the first one the other viscious little creatures all headed towards Vegeta attack him, their fangs bared. Vegeta hunched down building his energy as two of the little beasts flew over him. "Haaaaa yah!" Vegeta cried, throwing his arms wide and blowing the two bastards, who came back round for a second go, away with his blue aura flaring dramatically. Leaping forward, Vegeta let his instinct as an animalistic saiyan warrior take over. In the darkened room his other senses were heightened and he smelt the cold sweat of fear rolling off the creature nearest to him. Vegeta punched it low in the stomach, drawing a pained cry from the Saibaman and grinned savagely as his performed an upper cut with so much force it separated the creatures head from it's body. Hearing the other Saibemen gathering behind him, he flipped backwards into the center of the room, landing behind the three startled creatures.
"Humpf, why are you looking so scared? You should feel honored, I am an elite warrior, the Saiyan Prince and-" Vegeta turned and shot out a leg to deliver a fearsome kick to the Saibaman attempting to attack him from behind, "and don't interrupt me in the middle of a sentence! Anyway," he said turning back to face the shaking Saibamen, "you are my training practice. You should feel so lucky," he smirked again. A then with a childlike laugh flew forward and destroyed the remaining lives in the room with great panache.
"Who is that?" gasped a supervisor of the training room, who was obviously on his first day.
"What, you mean you've never seen Prince Vegeta in action before?" Nappa asked amused at the guys reaction.
"That's Prince Vegeta, but from his reputation I thought he was at least a teenager! Arg, but this kid looks to be only six years old!"
"He is four," Nappa answered.
"Would you ladies stop discussing me and open up this door! I'm thirsty!" came the sharp harsh voice of Vegeta.
"Oh yes of course Your Highness!" cried the supervisor and hastily pressed the button to let Vegeta out of the training room.
"About time," Vegeta complained, "Give me about twice that many next time and I might actually break a sweat," he said, by passing the white towel offered to him by Nappa.
"Sure thing, what ever you say!" gasped the shell-shocked training room operator.
"Come on Nappa, let's go get me a drink," Vegeta said stomping off down the hallway with the giant Nappa following at his heels like an overgrown faithful puppy dog.
"That was incredible Prince! It never ceases to amaze me how powerful you are at your age, and you have a certain flair and showmanship for destroying your victims that makes every training session a pleasure to watch."
Vegeta was impassive before growling out, "You might want to bend a little lower to properly kiss my ass Nappa. How many times have I told you to stop kissing up? It makes you look pathetic and I don't want to be seen to be in the company of pathetic morons," Vegeta reprimanded.
"But you are right of course," he said watching Nappa's obvious embarrassment out of the corner of his eye and smiling, "It's incredibly fun to shake them up a bit mentally before going in for the kill. But watch me next time and you'll be in for a really good show," Vegeta laughed as they reached a water dispenser and Vegeta got Nappa to pass him the cup without any thanks.
"Now then where's my scouter?" Vegeta asked, he always liked to take his scouter off while training to take away any advantage he would gain by able to view their power levels.
"Here it is, Prince," Nappa said passing it to him. Vegeta fixed the scouter to his right ear and pressed a button on it to speak.
"Prince Vegeta, reporting that I have finished my training and am available for duty, Lord Frieza," he said.
There was no reply. "Hmm, obviously busy at the moment… oh well, he'll get back to me later if he needs me," Vegeta said smiling and crossing his arms in a self important manner.
Vegeta was totally confident with his friendship with Frieza. All looked on jealously as Vegeta and Frieza treated each other like equals, something anyone else in the universe, knowing the truth about Frieza would not have dared to do in their wildest dreams. Little did Vegeta know, that in less than a years time, Frieza would have killed his father, destroyed his home planet and owned Vegeta himself.
