On the same day, Radissa was removed from her incubator and placed in a small spherical ship, in which she would travel through space until she reached her designated planet.
The mission had already been explained countless times during her time in the incubator, but even so, before being sent off, they told her everything again.
She had received a scouter, Saiyan armor, and food rations, which were small pills, each one would keep her satisfied for a month, and there were a hundred of them, so she could live on that for a few years before needing to find her own resources.
The small ship was of a size that would be impossible for an adult to use; even a child would feel cramped in it, so it was only for babies. Noticing this, a thought arose in Radissa's mind.
'Once I grow up, I won't be able to use this ship anymore... I have no idea how to get to Earth, and it's not realistic for me to search for it by traveling from planet to planet, especially with so little time... So I'll only have two options: go to a planet with the technology to create spaceships to get a larger one and hopefully the location of Earth, or I'll have to report the mission...'
This mission was quite ineffective; it was rare for a Saiyan baby to conquer the planet they were sent to, but it still happened. Those who succeeded in dominating their planets could send a message to Planet Vegeta, confirming that the mission was completed.
Radissa believed that for better or worse, Frieza would keep this with him after the destruction of Planet Vegeta, so she would basically be informing him that there was another Saiyan alive.
This option was very problematic, starting with the uncertainty of whether Frieza would maintain this communication channel, and worse than that, she would risk calling her own death.
The other option was simpler; once she arrived at her destination planet, if there was no advanced technology, she would have to leave for another one.
She had learned to control her ship considerably and also had an endless list of planet locations; the problem was that she only had a generic name and the location, nothing else.
So there was no way for her to know what awaited her on each planet. It was a relief to escape the imminent destruction of Planet Vegeta, but there were still gigantic dangers in her new life.
While she was still thoughtful, the whole procedure had been done, and her capsule ship closed. Having never seen her parents' faces in this world, Radissa left the planet, certain that in a short time there would be nothing left there.
As soon as the ship left Planet Vegeta's atmosphere, a gas was slowly released inside. For long journeys, it was problematic to keep the traveler conscious, especially in a ship that barely accommodated their body, making it impossible to do anything other than wait seated, so the traveler was put into a state of unconsciousness.
This induced travelers into constant sleep; it was easy to bypass this and maintain consciousness by force, but who would want to spend months or even years awake in that situation, where all you could see was space and do nothing?
While letting the gas take effect, time would seem to pass faster, which greatly helped in maintaining sanity.
Despite all this, Radissa did not give in; she remained awake 'The planet I'm going to is very far away, by the time I get there, I hope my power level reaches at least 200 PL!'
She was currently at 105 PL, and this trip would take almost a whole year, so she was quite confident in achieving that.
Just because her body was growing, she would already have a good increase in that time, but if she continued to train her Ki control, even in that small ship, her power would increase even more.
...
For months, inside that small ship, Radissa spent a few hours manipulating the Ki of her body, moving it from one point to another, creating Ki spheres, and also squeezing her monkey tail.
Her Ki training was to get stronger and better control her strength, while the other part, which seemed like self-torture, was to minimize her weak point.
If she were going to Earth, she would have torn off her tail, as her Oozaru form would be unnecessary there. But going to unknown planets, she didn't know when the transformation could save her life, so she couldn't afford to throw the transformation away.
In the first few days, it was hell; Radissa could only compare it to the sensation of squeezing her testicles, even though she didn't have any anymore, she still remembered the pain well.
After the first month, the pain was no longer as intense, but it still made tears well up in the corners of her childish eyes.
Only after half a year did she feel that she had reached an ideal point; even though it was a more sensitive point overall, the pain was no longer so intense; she could still use her full strength even if it was being squeezed hard.
Her training routine was a few hours until she got tired, then she would sleep for a whole day to recover fully. This was repeated hundreds of times until she saw a brownish-orange planet; it was planet P749J32, the one she was sent to.
...
The small spherical ship landed on the planet's surface, forming a small crater. The ship opened, and with somewhat clumsy steps, little Radissa came out.
Her tanned skin was covered by the classic Saiyan armor, which grew with the little girl, who was not even 90 centimeters tall yet but was much bigger than the baby who had left almost a year ago.
Her dark hair was quite long, and her bangs were spiky as always; her cute appearance was quite different from her personality and even more so from her race, but she was still practically a baby, so this was natural.
She was like a lion cub, which still looked more like a kitten than a wild animal.
Radissa took a deep breath "Ahh... It's so good to be able to move freely and feel this nature" Her cute voice sounded as she looked around.
The place looked like a forest; the trees had a whitish color, and their leaves were reddish. Although it wasn't any tree that exists on Earth, it wasn't that different either.
What was most strange about the view was the sky, which instead of blue, had a color more like rust.
It was very bright because of the red star that this planet orbited, which looked bigger than the sun, or maybe it was closer; Radissa could only compare the size of both stars in the sky.
"Well, it's not the planet I would spend my vacation on, but it's not awful either... Now let me see my results!" She said excitedly before pressing some buttons on her scouter.
There was an option to see her own power level; Radissa hadn't used it during her entire trip so that she could have the surprise of how much she had evolved in that time.
*Beep!*
The sound of the scouter calculating made the little girl break into an eager smile, and then "249!!" She let out a cry of joy.
It must be said, among the low-class Saiyans, this power level would only be possible after 4 or 5 years of age. If Planet Vegeta still existed, and she were there, they would probably consider her a mid-class Saiyan.
"I knew I could reach 200 PL, but I achieved much more than expected!... Hm?!" The scouter made a sound again.
*Beep!*
Something was approaching her, and the scouter calculated its power.
┌─────┐
│ 50 PL | | |
└─────┘
When she saw the number, she let out a sigh and smiled again. "It's just a weakling"
She looked at the place where the power reading came from; there were many trees blocking her view, so it wasn't yet possible to see what this being was like.
With an almost arrogant smile, the little girl put up her guard, very similar to a boxing stance.
Soon, a rustling of leaves and the sound of breaking branches echoed, and emerging from the trees was what looked like a quadrupedal animal, its size similar to that of a wild boar, with gray fur covering its body.
Radissa made a confused expression; she had noticed very quickly that despite running at high speed, the animal's goal was not to advance on her; its behavior was much more like a desperate flight.
*Beep!*
┌─────┐
│ 198 PL | | |
└─────┘
While the little girl's eyebrows rose in surprise, the sound of breaking trees echoed, followed by a slight tremor in the ground.
Pursuing the first animal was a huge animal with a somewhat flattened body; its four legs were short for its length, causing its belly to almost drag on the ground.
Its scaly skin was a dark purple color, which looked impenetrable. Its long tail swayed in the opposite direction to its body's movement.
Radissa watched both animals moving away from her; she was completely ignored.
"Am I just small prey?... Come back here, you damn animal; you're going to be my welcome dinner!" She yelled before running after the animals.
...
In a dense darkness in the forest, a bonfire illuminated the surroundings; a large scaly body lay on the ground, with one of its legs missing.
With a large piece of meat in her hand, Radissa stared at the fire with a smile, and after a good bite of the rubbery meat, she said to herself "Using Ki to create fire is simpler than I expected; thanks to this, I won't have to go without being able to eat meat"
The taste was nowhere near as delicious compared to any meat she had eaten in her past life, but after a year and a half of eating nothing but those tasteless food rations that couldn't even be chewed, this meat tasted delicious.
When only a bone remained in her hands, Radissa threw it away "This planet doesn't even have a moon, so I won't be able to rely on my transformation..."
Earlier, right after hunting her dinner, she used the scouter to see if there were any greater dangers on this planet. Even the animal she killed, perhaps there were specimens of this race that had strength comparable to or greater than hers, so she needed to be careful.
┌───────┐
│ 1.080 PL | | |
└───────┘
"Those bastards sent me to a planet with beings with over a thousand power levels; even if they sent an adult Saiyan, the most likely outcome was that the mission would fail!" She exclaimed angrily.
Besides the strongest reading, there were at least a few dozen beings with over 900 PL; if a low-class Saiyan tried to dominate this planet alone, they would probably die trying, unless they used a good strategy, which was not common for combat maniacs.
Still, the expression Radissa was making made it obvious; she wasn't scared, but rather filled with intense excitement.
She wasn't insane enough to go and face these strong beings for now; she knew that would cause her death, but in a few years, she would certainly have the strength for it, and then it would be time to act.
"Whatever the case, now that I've arrived on this planet, I'll finally be able to train my body properly, and 1,000 PL seems like a good benchmark for me to start traveling to other planets, so dominating this planet will be my training!" With a wide smile, the little girl moved slowly.
As if her hand were a blade, she approached the dead animal's body "Let's get another piece"
