39 Super Saiyan? (1/2)
Vegeta wasn't dumb and could figure out that Raditz only became stronger after arriving on Earth. Not to mention all the fighters from Earth were stronger than him and Nappa. Although he did not know about the earthlings, having seen Tien Shinhan's Kikoho slam Frieza in his final form into the triangle-shaped hole again and again. He did not dare to underestimate the earthlings.
”There must be some secret on Earth to Raditz's improvement.” Vegeta muttered.
Bulma was pissed by Vegeta's proud, arrogant and degrading tone. Especially that he kept calling her 'woman'. But she was very proud of her friends' strength and did not mind showing off in front of Vegeta.
Thanks to Bulma's big mouth, Vegeta learned many things. That the earthlings were capable of sensing Ki and controlling their Ki. This made it difficult for him to identify whether someone was actually strong or weak. For some time, Vegeta had been wary of every single human he met. Despite his scouter giving a reading below 100 battle power.
”Earth's martial art, Ki sense, Ki control, and gravity training! Of course, gravity training will benefit us Saiyans immensely. To think a backward planet could actually invent a Gravity Simulation Machine.” Vegeta muttered.
Vegeta had learned from Bulma that Kami and Master Roshi could teach him martial arts and learn Ki sense and Ki control. Since Piccolo died, Kami was naturally also dead, leaving only Master Roshi. But with Vegeta's pride, he was naturally not willing to bow his head and beg an earthling to teach him. Instead, he planned to fight one of the weaker earthlings and with his Saiyan talent learn it by getting hurt by Earth's martial art to let his body absorb all the experiences.
”I'll start with gravity training then.” Vegeta decided to wait until the earthlings gather at Bulma's house after 43 days had passed and then choose the weaker ones to fight with.
”What?! Raditz took all the gravity machines?!” Vegeta yelled.
”You better make another one quickly! Or I'll tear you apart!” Vegeta threatened Dr. Brief.
”Well... It will take some time. I'll let you know when it's ready. Do you want a spaceship or a Gravity Chamber?” Dr. Brief puffed his cigarette nonchalantly.
”Whichever is faster!” Vegeta demanded and left.
”Hm... It depends on the decoration. Do you want a disco hall?” Dr. Brief blabbered alone.
...
Raditz arrived on Planet Namek and quickly found Frieza's spaceship. There were some Frieza henchmen left on the ship. They were calmly waiting for Frieza to return, never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that Frieza was already dead.
Raditz made short work of all of Frieza's men on the ship and set it to fly to Earth. The spaceship was too big for Raditz to teleport it back with. His Ki wasn't enough to support the gigantic disc-shaped spaceship. Maybe if he could transform into a Super Saiyan would be able to.
Frieza's spaceship was slower than his and would require 2 weeks to fly to Earth. Luckily it got auto-pilot. Raditz simply let if fly unmanned and stayed on Planet Namek.
”Time to train in transforming into a Super Saiyan.” Raditz said excitedly. He now had so many experiences and memories he could make use to draw out his anger.
Raditz spread out his legs to a shoulder-width distance and took a deep breath.
Raditz replayed his memories when he got beaten up and toyed by Frieza. Feeling his anger rise, he continued replaying other memories, when Piccolo pushed him away and got hit by Frieza's Death beam in the chest, when he saved Gohan and got his heart pierced by another Death Beam. When Frieza pulled Piccolo into the air and clenched his fist, exploding Piccolo into dust.
Since Piccolo was still dead, coupled with him still being in Planet Namek and seeing the environment, the memories replayed in his mind felt all the more real as if it had just happened.
”AAAAAAAHHHH!!” Feeling the rush of anger come, Raditz let his emotions take control of his body.
Raditz's muscles were bulging, a golden aura wrapped around his body and flickered unstably. His Ki was increasing rapidly. His long hair was shaking up and down.
”Come on! Just a bit more!” Raditz imagined Gohan getting toyed around and killed by Frieza.
Boom! A shockwave blasted out with Raditz in the center, dust and pebbles were repelled. The golden aura shook violently and rapidly like a candlelight about to be blown out.
The ground under Raditz's feet caved in like a crater.
”HAAAAAAAAAHH!!” Raditz let out all his energy to push the transformation further.
