"Leige, how long can you stay home this time?" Rossi asked.
Although she knew Leige wouldn't stay on Planet Vegeta for long, and Frieza wouldn't allow it either, she still wanted to ask how long he could remain.
"Mother, Frieza only gave me two months of leave. It took twenty days to travel from Frieza Planet No. 2 to Planet Vegeta, and the return trip will take another twenty. I can only stay for twenty days before I have to head back to Frieza Planet No. 2," Leige replied.
"Twenty days is better than nothing. By the way, Leige, you haven't seen Vegeta yet, have you?" Rossi said.
"I haven't seen Vegeta yet," Leige said.
Leige had been taken away by Frieza one year after Vegeta was born.
"Nappa, go call the Second Prince to the palace," King Vegeta said as he walked out of the main hall and shouted to Nappa, who was standing outside.
"Yes," Nappa replied.
Nappa then went off to find Vegeta.
Five minutes later, at the training grounds.
"Bam! Bam!"
"Trash! Do you even count as mid-level warriors?" the young Saiyan said after knocking down the two adult Saiyans who had been training with him.
"The Second Prince is truly incredible."
"Indeed. Even I, an elite warrior, only had a battle power of seven or eight hundred at the Second Prince's age. The Second Prince is only two years old and his battle power has already reached three thousand."
"I just wonder which of the two princes has the higher battle power."
The Saiyans standing near the young Saiyan whispered among themselves.
This young Saiyan was King Vegeta's second son: Vegeta.
"Your subordinate Nappa greets the Second Prince," Nappa said, arriving at the training grounds and kneeling on one knee before the young Saiyan.
"Nappa, what business do you have coming to see this prince? If it's nothing, then get lost," Vegeta said.
"Second Prince, the First Prince has returned. The King and Queen have ordered me to invite you back to the palace," Nappa said.
"Leige is back? What does that have to do with this prince? Nappa, go tell Father and Mother that I don't have time right now," Vegeta said.
"Yes," Nappa said.
Vegeta was unwilling to go to the palace, and Nappa couldn't force him; if he angered Vegeta, the boy would surely kill him.
"Arrange two more sparring partners with a battle power of over three thousand for this prince," Vegeta shouted.
"Yes," the Saiyans beside Vegeta replied.
Five minutes later, in the palace main hall.
"My King, your subordinate is incompetent. I failed to bring back the Second Prince. Please punish me," Nappa said, kneeling on the ground to plead for mercy.
"Father, Vegeta is likely busy with his training. Nappa, you may leave," Leige said, interceding on Nappa's behalf.
"Get out," King Vegeta said.
Nappa then left the main hall, not forgetting to give Leige a grateful look before he departed.
"Father, let me go and bring Vegeta here myself," Leige said.
"And what if he refuses to come with you?"
King Vegeta spoke.
"If Vegeta comes, I shall consider it him knowing how to respect his older brother. If he does not, I will teach him what it means to respect his brother."
Leige said.
If Vegeta would not give him face, he would teach Vegeta a lesson.
"Go, but go easy on him. Don't kill him; there aren't many elite warriors left in the Saiyan race."
King Vegeta said.
"I understand."
Leige said.
Leige then left the palace and headed to the training grounds to find Vegeta.
Ten minutes later, at the training grounds.
"Bang, bang, boom."
Vegeta was sparring with two Saiyans, each with a combat power of three thousand.
"Stop for a moment."
Leige arrived before Vegeta and the two Saiyans, using his ki to blast them apart before speaking.
"You are Leige?"
Vegeta looked at the Saiyan before him, whose appearance and hairstyle were similar to his own, and asked.
"Long time no see, Vegeta."
Leige said.
"Hmph, don't disturb my training."
Vegeta said.
"What kind of skill is it to bully them? Don't you want to have a fight with me?"
Leige said.
"Fight you? Beep, beep. Combat power three thousand five hundred. I thought your combat power had reached four thousand, but it's only three thousand five hundred."
Vegeta said after scanning Leige's combat power with his scouter.
"Beep, beep. Combat power two thousand five hundred. Not bad, but it's a pity—you are still no match for your brother."
Leige said.
"Damn it!"
Vegeta roared in anger.
Vegeta then charged toward Leige.
"I'm not going to coddle you. Watch as I beat you so badly even Mother won't recognize you!"
Leige said.
Leige then charged toward Vegeta as well.
"Bang!"
Leige and Vegeta's fists collided.
"Bang, bang."
Leige and Vegeta traded blows, punch for punch.
"Boom, boom! Rumble."
The two threw energy blasts at each other, the projectiles colliding in mid-air.
"Behind me."
"Bang!"
Vegeta said.
Vegeta threw a punch behind him, but it struck nothing but air.
"Idiot, I'm right here."
Leige said.
Leige suddenly appeared in front of Vegeta and threw a punch, catching Vegeta off guard and sending him flying.
"Damn it!"
Vegeta roared.
"Boom!"
Vegeta hurled an energy blast at Leige.
Leige raised his hand to swat the energy blast away and charged rapidly toward Vegeta.
"Bang."
"Direct hit."
King Vegeta said.
"Bang."
King Vegeta suddenly struck behind him, directly dispersing Leige.
"This one isn't real either."
King Vegeta said, watching Leige's figure dissipate.
"Smart."
Leige said.
"Bang!"
Leige punched King Vegeta in the stomach, sending him flying twenty meters away.
"How did you do that? Why didn't I hit you either time?"
King Vegeta asked after steadying himself.
"It's simple. I just swapped positions between my clone and my real body."
Leige said.
"So I hit your real body at the beginning?"
King Vegeta asked.
"Wrong, wrong. You didn't hit me at all. I just increased my speed slightly to make you think you had."
Leige said.
"Just a slight increase in speed, and it's already enough to make me unable to track you?"
King Vegeta said.
"Smart."
"Boom!"
Leige suddenly appeared in front of King Vegeta again and blasted him point-blank with an energy sphere, sending him flying far away.
"Bang."
Leige caught up to King Vegeta and punched him down into the ground.
"Do you yield?"
Leige asked, looking at King Vegeta.
"I don't yield! Again!"
King Vegeta said stubbornly.
"Again? You are no match for me at all. If it weren't for our brotherhood, I would have sent you to meet Yama long ago!"
Leige said.
"Hmph! Go to hell!"
King Vegeta shouted.
As soon as he finished shouting, King Vegeta fired an energy sphere directly at Leige, who swatted it away.
"Bang."
Leige then punched King Vegeta, knocking him unconscious.
"Take him to the medical bay."
Leige said to the surrounding Saiyans, looking at the half-dead King Vegeta.
Two Saiyans then carried the unconscious King Vegeta to the medical bay, and Leige returned to the royal palace.
Five minutes later, in the main hall of the royal palace.
"Greetings, Father, Mother."
Leige said, kneeling on one knee.
"Didn't Vegeta come with you?"
King Vegeta asked.
"Vegeta insisted on not coming, so I gave him a beating. He is in the medical bay now."
Leige said.
"As long as he isn't dead, that's fine."
King Vegeta said.
18:00
King Vegeta hosted a banquet for Zarbon, who had arrived with Leige, and Vegeta, having recovered from his injuries, also attended the feast.
"Lord Zarbon, has my son caused any trouble for Lord Frieza while by his side?" King Vegeta asked Zarbon.
"King Vegeta, His Majesty has stated that Prince Leige possesses the greatest talent of any Saiyan he has ever seen, and that in the future, Prince Leige will surely become the strongest king in the history of the Saiyan race," Zarbon replied.
"It seems Lord Frieza holds high expectations for my son," King Vegeta said.
"Leige, don't you dare leave! We're going to fight again," Vegeta said, blocking Leige's path after King Vegeta, Rossi, and Zarbon had departed following the banquet.
"Still want to fight? Can you even beat your brother?" Leige said.
"Leige, have you forgotten that whenever our Saiyan race returns from the brink of death, our combat power increases significantly?" Vegeta said.
The Saiyan race's combat power increases significantly when returning from the brink of death? Zarbon thought to himself.
After the banquet ended, Zarbon went looking for Leige when he didn't emerge, only to find Leige and Vegeta; he then hid to the side to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"So what? Even if you return from the brink of death, how much can your combat power really increase?" Leige said.
"Then keep your eyes peeled and witness this prince's current combat power," Vegeta said.
"Ah, hrah!" Vegeta began to power up, and Leige activated the scouter he was wearing.
"Beep, beep. Two thousand eight hundred, three thousand, three thousand five hundred, three thousand eight hundred... seven thousand five hundred. Not bad, your combat power has tripled," Leige said.
Leige turned off the scouter as soon as he finished speaking.
"Leige, prepare to die!" Vegeta shouted.
Vegeta then lunged toward Leige at high speed.
"Boom!"
