(Vegeta-POV)
Kakarot, himself and Piccolo trained with Merus, all of them barred from any sort of transformation they possessed. Namely himself, Kakarot and Piccolo, for the forth member of this training getaway was still an unknown member, a notable member of the Galactic Patrollers now living on Earth with the rest of that lot, though Vegeta awaited their last member to join them.
'...Kron, that clown… He get's to kill Cooler once more, and here I am learning under what amounts to be the greatest teacher of the universe, Whis… the one whom taught the destroyer… Beerus himself. That bastard, where is he? He's missing out!' Vegeta's training weights were as heavy as could be, heavily limiting his movements, every garment, every piece of clothing… from his underwear to his socks and boots, his tops and body armor were spelled by Whis's magical ability to continuously adjust the weights every time Vegeta would get comfortable in that prior weight, leading to a never ending cycle as he trained like his life depended on it.
Very different compared to the latest in line of training gravity chambers made mainstream in Bulma and Winter's combined mega-corporation, the world in which they trained on looked queer-like, not at all like a planet should look, showing it's artificial creation to the observable eye. They had begun training six days ago, eight days ago was when the two groups including Kron and that gullible fool Raditz took to the stars in order to track down those dragon balls, the ones with the black stars on them.
Whis, ever mindful of their whereabouts, no matter what he was doing, came to each and everyone of them from time to time, offering advice or words of encouragement, often times he would be found in a constant state of bliss, for he ate very well-smelling meals from their home planet Earth, for that guy kept on visiting Kron's wife Bulma, behind his back in order to get even more different dishes and bento's to consume… RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM! The guy knew exactly what he was playing at!
Vegeta mentally growled, he would not touch his stomach although at that moment he looked down, hearing it grumble in protest, though he fought on through, continuing this rigorous training session borderline a torture session and bared his teeth in frustration.
'Damn him… he certainly knows how to push us. And this was only half of their training regime.' Vegeta thought, reverence and hatred circled within as to his thoughts of their new trainer. Whis also had a capable mental regime, including intense meditation for hours, what seemed like days… Vegeta found himself able to sense Beerus, if only barely. Kakarot had shown he could have sensed Beerus upon arrival, in a calm, rested state and Piccolo had shown them both he could sense what he called god Ki, wafting off Beerus and the planet.
God Ki… that next level, the new 'Super Saiyan' transformation, dubbed 'Super Saiyan Blue', training to be able to use that kind of godly Ki was their goal here, Vegeta realized. Piccolo's newfound transformation showed he had more tricks in his Namekian bloodline than his race had shown during their time on Namek, he heard from Whis that someone powerful has been unleashed upon the galaxy, someone the Galactic Patrol had done their best to keep sealed and out of the greater galaxy.
'Kron honestly better get here quick… The more time he spends on this mission to procure those retched black star dragon balls, to more time he has to kill off all the more capable opponents I myself have a right to destroy or test in a bout… He's out there, while we're here… suffering through this torture-
"-V-Vegeta, it's lunch time hey! Come... come, I'm starved! Wonder what Whis has gotten for us today-"
"-K-Kakarot! D-don't sneak up on a guy, especially when he is training, specially when he is in deep within a resentful thought process! Right, lunch… where is it then!" Vegeta shook himself off, both he and Kakarot were still under the effects of the weights, though Kakarot had looked more carefree compared to his brooding, his wandering mind. Kakarot replied, uncaring of any insult, his mood unchanged and barely a wince within his facial features from that of the weight affecting him.
"Uh, we're got to wash our hands , that way. Vegeta, follow me. Man… you look like you've been put in the ring of a world martial arts tournament, it can't be healthy with that sort of attitude during training." the clown was lecturing him? Kakarot continued, they landed upon another part of the queer-looking planet, within a forest next to a rushing river, Piccolo meditating whilst wearing his own clothing, cape and turban included though his was also affected by Whis and his weight magic, Merus could be seen contently brunching on some of the best looking Earth cuisine Vegeta had ever seen, better smelling that Raven's attempts at cooking for him and their four half-Saiyan children. He found himself missing them, though he wouldn't say that out loud.
"Alright now, Eat up-" Vegeta and Kakarot had two large portions of food appear seemingly out of nowhere, still hot and his mouth started to water. Speaking of water, Piccolo had a lot of water of some unknown brand in front of him, he'd emptied half of them while Merus had a very small portion of food from earth too, he was already eating unlike Piccolo who, had begun to meditate halfway through his 'meal' of water.
Vegeta and Kakarot glanced at one another, before checking each others meals for any difference, before they both got stuck in, scarfing down meal after meal instead of the slow pace Merus seemed to be eating, that guy started to blink, not used to the pace in which they put down food. Eating was very much rewarding, but every waking moment spent eating detracts from their training session, there was no time to lose.
(Kron-POV)
Shin and Kibito returned, a small clay ceramic pot filled with water each of them held in one hand. I took the unconscious Saiyan Cumber to the ship with the others minus Pyrrha and Yamcha, they were to link up with us in twenty minutes, I spent my time awaiting the return of Shin, standing over this unconscious warrior while keeping my two kids further away from me, listening as they described their parts they played in their search, what help and battles they found themselves in. Pyrrha and Yamcha, piloting the identical sister ship of the vessel we currently occupied could be seen coming towards us when Shin and Kibito arrived, they headed straight for me.
"Here, drink this. Kibito, make sure he drinks it as well. I advise you gulp it down in one swallow, as this is a very little amount we've returned with, this should be more than enough to cleanse both of you from the inside out." I took the little pot and quickly drunk the shot-like pot in one go, tasted like water… until I felt the burning sensation within, Cumber also awakened. Red eyes met my own, though he kept himself on the ground, narrowed eyes as Kibito stepped away from him.
"Alright, that doesn't feel any different than before. What about you, Cumber. Are you going to play nice, or did you want me to finish you off." the Saiyan glared at him, then clutched his head. Standing, he glanced around cautiously, eyeing everyone within the ship, his gaze passing over Kibito with some recollection of him force-drugging him with that ultra water stuff. He turned to me, then back to Kibito as he replied.
"I was jumped by a female and male, looked the same as each other, ugly too. White hair… then that… thing, jumped my body and I recall our brawl, I'll kill you-" Shin held out a hand, trying to calm the Saiyan down, everyone else and even me were ready to jump him then and there.
"Your safe now Saiyan. My name is Shin, the supreme Kai of the Universe, our home-"
"-I died, eons ago to a Saiyan who felt like you do! I hate that feeling. But you've helped me, I'll spare you your final death. I hate owing little fuckers like you all, even weaklings of my own kind. But I should tell you, I won't kill you now. You though, I will like to kill…" he pointed towards me, glaring and I replied, placing a hand onto Zangya's shoulder to calm her before she attacks, Raditz over to my left looked ready to jump in to… that or he was quaking in his boots.
"That thing that jumped you, tried to also do the same to me… that little freak is still out there. If you want to kill something, you ought to come with us. If not, your free to leave. Will throw you out the airlock." he sighed, Ki wafting off of his body like a wave of visible smells off of him. He closed in on me, walking forwards.
"I have long gone by, by myself… the others of our kind must have survived if I'm seeing you, that one plus the two small ones there. I'm not the only Saiyan from my time who escaped, a larger group of our kind had also gotten out of our eternal prisons. I would fears them more than I. I'm hungry, get the women there to go and serve us up some food, I could eat everyone in this fucking room." I sneered, grabbing him by the shoulders and leading him off, the staff following me along without leaving the same distance it kept at my back.
"There are no slaves here, that small runt is one of my daughters, the other? One of my wives-"
"-Hmm, truly? So not much has changed… the most strongest of our kind had large amounts of woman to serve and produce offspring-"
"-Knock it off, I said wives. Not a harem where I just bang everyone of them at once in massive orgies… shut up, change the subject right, not around my kids." I'd whispered, pushing him into a table and motioning for him to sit. The others followed us along, Zangya speaking with a growl.
"The last two dragon balls are in that direction and for the last ten minutes have stayed in one spot. Pyrrha and Yamcha should arrive in a few more minutes and we can just use the one ship. Sixteen is ready to begin steering the ship with your son Trunks as his co-pilot, after they get here. Supreme Kai… are you going to help us as well…"
"I'll stick around for now, though Kron… you've been summoned to train with the destroyers trainer… a great honor. That staff… is eager to take you there it seems. Your name is Cumber right, we've tracked a lot of people who were once forgotten, or within living memory of myself and my esteemed elder, locked in their own dimensions of the damned. Seeing that your alive… plus much too strong for Kibito or myself, is the reason we have not taken you back to your deserved prison. Make the most of your new life Cumber, that is all I can ask."
Placing a capsule onto the table and activating it, a large fridge appeared and me and Ursula made our way for it, I placed a large plate in front of Cumber and got my daughter one, then getting my own.
"Eat up. I can sense Pyrrha is close, I'll go get them aboard this ship with 'Instant Transmission' and then capsule the other ship, after this plate." Raditz reluctantly joined us, glaring daggers at Cumber, who ignored him in place of literally consuming everything I offered him, myself winning an unknown battle with food.
(Dabura-POV)
Dabura remained on earth when most other had left, Tien whom was sparring with him some days was now gone as well, Dabura sat in a wasteland while glowering down upon the landscape, his position on top of a high mountain cold to a normal person. Unaffected, Dabura glanced to his right while sensing keenly his sister Towa appearing out of nowhere, without Mira.
"Sister, where is your… whatever he is to you."
"Mira is training off-world, nearby as he does. I felt the energy of my counterpart out there… in the galaxy, right near to where Kron and-"
"-Your counterpart is superior to you, for she is still alive… I can feel her out there, when I was meditating earlier. Have you come to some conclusion then? You can see where I am now." he figured she'd get what he meant. This planet was filled with many strong fighters, and as long as he couldn't beat Kron, nor those he called friends… Dabura had plenty of opponents to test himself against, for fighting was his life now… Towa on the other hand, looked conflicted, she unlike him, remained a patriot of their home dimension. With the Tertian Oculus in his possession however, his newfound power made him overwhelming to most other of his sparing partners, even Tien now. Soon enough, he would give Kron another try in honorable combat.
"Get Mira. We're going to help Kron, Raditz and his friends get these dragon balls, I cannot allow him to grow unchecked, he'll force me to train even more and while I love combat, I hate training. It is… degrading that our bloodline has to improve via training to get stronger, it is… degrading. You can take us, sister. That alternate version of you and your… golem you created as an ultimate servant should help us track down your alternate selves… meddling in our affairs for will need to deal with them and kick them from this realm… you know exactly what they will bring, They are much different compared to you, I would be proud to have them as siblings… if they came to me first before they tried anything here." Dabura seen her gaze harden, he stood up and used magic, changing out of his training apparel into his usual, caped clothing he wore usually.
"Come on then, will grab that son of yours and head to their location immediately, there you could perhaps… make yourself indispensable to him in ways, your power up for example."
"I've ample amounts of energy for that 'power up' you so callously label. But yes, Mira would enjoy the amount of bloodshed he could reap upon anyone after those dragon balls. Fine." Towa walked towards Dabura, placing the head of her staff into the palm of her hand, using her other hand and the two of them were enveloped in her teleportation magic, their surroundings immediately changed for the location of Mira, who noticed them, sending them a annoyed glance until he noticed Dabura there too.
"Come Mira, we're going to where Kron and the others are after all."
(Baby-POV)
His new army of twenty three Saiyan's, ancient… thousands of years before the Saiyan's invaded his beloved home Tuffle for he demanded answers as to their origins, they were from a planet they called Sadala… a planet that as they died, only a select few of them escaped the battle with the- what they called the 'Super Saiyan of Legend', a god among Saiyan's. The animals were his now, they were powerful… though not as much as Cumber, or Kron. Losing them was a setback to Baby's plans… though not by much. Baby smirked, a toothy grin stretched upon his 'host body'.
'Hmph…. I've Infiltrated both of them, my Saiyan Cumber should still be littered with my eggs and until death shall serve me, and then the ones I left within the other, more impressive Saiyan should have made him mine as well... to dare to defy my might! Both of them shall be mine soon enough, when the spare eggs have hatched...' Baby sneered, his twenty three, capable warriors all stood in reverence of him, bowed down and he stood, within the twenty forth Saiyan, controlling him directly, the dragon balls in his pockets.
"Come my Tuffle's, we're going to secure our place in this universe, that at the top and with me at the pinnacle of this universe! Everyone, everywhere… Tuffle's… they shall all be one with me, they will be all… mine own, as their king!" They all bowed their heads deeply, all saying at once, said words made Baby cackle in his new meat suit.
"Yes lord Baby!"
'It doesn't look like my new slaves fighting near M-2 have come to me yet, peculiar… no matter, we're to find the rest of this abomination of a race and secure the new order of my people, converting each and every Saiyan and wiping them out through conversion. His most important mission.
"Will wait for another day here my brethren, if our new brothers shan't meet us here… will go to them." once more, like mindless dolls, his 'brethren' responded at once, the same kind of reverence heard in their tones of voices.
"Yes lord Baby!"
(Raditz-POV)
Kron brought aboard Pyrrha and Yamcha and capsulized the other ship, they went on their way towards the location of the last two black star dragon balls, Raditz having enough time of a rest from fighting, his strength back as he rested in the lounge of the ship. Shin sat across from him, eyes closed and looking composed while Kibito stood to Shin's right, Raditz now wore his scouter, green of color once more. Raditz, restless from rest stood to his feet and left the lounging area, heading to get something to eat where he seen Kron, Ursula, Trunks, Pyrrha and Zangya all eating together.
Taking a seat nearby, Raditz got himself his own meal and sat in silence, far away to hear what exactly the large family were saying, hearing only their mumbling and laughter, everyone seen as a flash of light appeared, a sphere of humanoid height, seeing the light diminish quickly when Dabura, Towa and Mira stood out and looked around.
Tense a situation, these were not the ones that were on M-2, for the Mira and Towa there looked and felt vastly different, Raditz ignored them while Dabura smirked, walking forwards and taking a seat in front of Kron, Raditz inwardly chuckled at the tense glances from the bastards wives, the on guard look as they subtly barred their teeth when Towa sat next to her brother, her staff floating behind her while Mira looked on with eyes only for Kron or Dabura.
"We've come to help with this little quest of yours, who is the new meat. That nice pair on legs. She wears her armor well-"
"-Buzz off bozo. Who is this guy, Kron." the new girl's eyes burned with a fire, feisty bitch… Another female sniffing after Kron of all people, Raditz fully turned to his meal.
"Relax, Cinder. Ignore him. You three, I just fought two of you prior… Take a seat, we're going up against a parasite fighter. Very dangerous. Tell them Shin."
