Raditz, Do You Want to Become a Super Saiyan?

"Stop," Vegeta ordered.

"Yes!" Nappa nodded, stepped forward, switched the spaceship from autopilot to manual, and brought it to a stop in space.

Several of Frieza's underlings flew out of his spaceship. Zarbon was at their head.

Now that they'd found Vegeta and the others' spaceship here, they naturally had to give it a thorough inspection.

"Lord Frieza, their power levels are 15,000 and 2,000! Judging by the numbers, they should be Vegeta and Nappa! Vegeta's still alive?" Berryblue asked, looking at the spaceship opposite them in surprise.

"Even better. Now we can find out where the Battle God Water is!" Frieza's lips curled into a faint smile. This happiness had come rather unexpectedly.

After all, only Vegeta and the others knew where the Battle God Water originated.

Hadn't they already wiped out almost all the monsters on Planet Beast?

Still, something felt off!

Had Vegeta's power level not increased?

Or... had he not drunk the Battle God Water?

That didn't make sense, either!

If Vegeta hadn't drunk it, how could Cui have lost to him?

How strange!

Or... was the Battle God Water's effect on battle power only temporary?

"Come on, let's get aboard!" Seeing the other spaceship obediently come to a stop, Zarbon immediately gave the order to his men.

The underlings prepared to board.

"Now! Start the ship!" Vegeta ordered Nappa.

"Yes!" Nappa replied, immediately pressing the spaceship's start button.

Caught off guard by the sudden acceleration, Zarbon and the others who had just approached were thrown off balance, tumbling through space.

By the time they recovered, Vegeta's spaceship had already flown away.

"Damn it!" Zarbon gritted his teeth in fury and hurried back to Frieza's spaceship.

"Lord Frieza, should we pursue them?" Berryblue asked.

"Pursue them!" Frieza decided at once. "They dared to make a fool of me, Frieza! I'll make them wish they were dead!"

"Whoosh!"

Frieza's spaceship sped after them.

"Damn it! Our spaceship's slower than his!" Nappa glanced at the radar system and went pale.

"Find a planet with a moon and land there!" Vegeta ordered. "If we get shot down in space, we'll die out here."

"Okay." Nappa nodded, found a planet, and sped toward it.

The vast starry sky stretched across the boundless universe.

Soya's spaceship was drawing ever closer to Earth.

"Estimated time of arrival on Earth: three minutes!"

"Estimated time of arrival on Earth: three minutes!"

The spaceship sounded its warning.

Soya slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly.

After sleeping on the spaceship for several days, Soya still felt full of energy.

The first thing he did upon waking was instinctively check the total Negative Emotion Points on the system panel.

What a treat!

Soya's Negative Emotion Points had now climbed to 500,000.

No need to rush into a draw!

He'd wait until he had one or two million!

Three minutes later.

"Boom! Boom!"

Soya and Raditz's spaceships plummeted through the sky like two meteors, crashing into a desolate mountainous region and leaving two enormous craters in the ground.

Soya and Raditz flew out of their spaceships.

"So this is Earth. The environment seems pretty nice," Raditz said with a grin, looking around.

Soya surveyed the area as well.

They were in a mountainous region, surrounded by dense forests. The air was filled with the fragrance of plants and trees.

They'd finally made it to Earth!

"Let's go." Soya shot into the sky and flew off into the distance.

"Why did you come to this planet? Is there anything special about it?" Raditz hurried after him, asking curiously.

"From what I've learned, if you live on Earth for a while and adapt to its environment, your temperament will become more and more peaceful, and you'll develop more and more S-Cells. That'll lay a solid foundation for you to become a Super Saiyan!" Soya said with a sigh.

"Huh? A Super Saiyan?" Raditz's eyes lit up.

"So, what do you think? Do you want to become a Super Saiyan?" Soya grinned.

Raditz shuddered.

Why did I get the feeling you were trying to trick me?

The last time you asked me that, you wanted to know if I wanted to increase my battle power.

And my battle power did increase...

But it only lasted an hour, and then I was weak for a whole day.

And now you're asking me again...

"No!" Raditz shook his head firmly.

"Raditz, you're no fun to talk to," Soya said with a dark look.

"Well..." Raditz smiled awkwardly and hurriedly changed his answer. "Of course I want to... Who wouldn't want to become a Super Saiyan? I was just joking!"

"Just do as I say. It should work," Soya replied with a smile.

"Really?" Raditz was thrilled.

"And..." Soya's expression turned serious.

"And what?" Raditz swallowed nervously and asked.

"And once you become a Super Saiyan, you'll go straight to three!" Soya exclaimed.

Raditz: "????"

Raditz stared at him, utterly bewildered.

What did he mean by three?

What was this "three" supposed to mean?

Why couldn't I understand?

"Raditz gained 111 Negative Emotion Points!"

[The joke here is that Soya says Raditz will become a Super Saiyan 3. Only true Dragon Ball fans will get it.]

[If you're not a Dragon Ball fan, make a joke about this part.]

"First, let me say a couple of things," Soya said, speaking to Raditz as they flew through the sky.

"Uh-huh." Raditz obediently nodded.

"Don't go around killing people on this planet. You need to cultivate a peaceful mindset. Only then can you lay the foundation for becoming a Super Saiyan," Soya reminded him again and again, his expression stern. "If you don't listen, you know what'll happen!"

"Yes... I understand." Raditz didn't dare take it lightly.

Soya's battle power seemed to be over 10,000 already, while mine was only 700.

He could kill me with one blow.

I'd better just do as he says.

"To become a Super Saiyan faster, the first thing you need to do is..." Soya paused for a moment.

Raditz pricked up his ears, his expression eager.

I don't know how you learned the secret to becoming a Super Saiyan, but that doesn't mean I can't listen.

Maybe I really will become one.

"First, you have to fluently say: 'Black fertilizer turns gray, gray fertilizer turns black. Black fertilizer turns gray and volatilizes; gray fertilizer volatilizes and turns black. Black fertilizer volatilizes, turns gray, and scatters flowers; gray fertilizer volatilizes, turns black, and scatters flowers,'" Soya said, spouting nonsense with a perfectly straight face.

Raditz: "..."

"Raditz gained 666 Negative Emotion Points!"
