"Then... let's go." Rumsshi could hardly wait.
"Smack!"
Vegeta quickly leaped up, threw himself onto Kusu, and wrapped his arms around her from behind.
Kusu was already used to it and didn't say anything.
Marcarita, however, covered her forehead, looking a little exasperated.
You've really got that move down.
Seems like you've hugged Sister Kusu from behind plenty of times.
"Let's go!" Rumsshi called.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
All five of them flew into the sky together, speeding toward Pride Planet.
About twenty minutes later.
Vegeta could already see Pride Planet in the distance.
Pride Planet was a world about ten times larger than Earth, and its surface was packed with advanced technology.
"Alright, you can stay here and watch. I'll go sweep the entire planet myself." As Vegeta spoke, he let go of Kusu.
"Kid, you sure talk big!" Belmod snorted.
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta didn't bother with any pleasantries. He immediately dove down from the sky.
Vegeta had already sensed a powerful presence on the planet.
It had to be Toppo.
He'd go down and beat him up first.
Vegeta didn't even bother taking his hands out of his pockets as he plunged downward.
Pride Planet, Pride Troopers' headquarters.
The Pride Troopers were holding a meeting.
The main purpose of the meeting was to step up their efforts to wipe out the Evil Legion in the near future.
"We can't let the Evil Legion do whatever they want!" Toppo said. "Find their hideout as soon as you can and wipe them all out in one go."
"Yes, Captain!"
The team members answered in unison.
"But Captain, their hideout won't be easy to find. We haven't found a single one of their bases all these years," Cocotte remarked with a sigh.
"No matter what it takes, we have to find where they're hiding," Toppo said coldly. "Otherwise, they'll be like weeds you can never finish cutting down. One crop grows back after another."
"Weeds... Is that what he means?" Dyspo muttered from the side.
Toppo: "..."
You sure do talk a lot.
"That's all for today. From now on, you must find a way to locate the Evil Legion's hideout. Is that clear?" Toppo stressed once more.
"Yes, Captain. We understand."
The team members saluted together.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Kahseral suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.
But there was nothing there.
They were holding their meeting in a sealed room.
All he could see was the ceiling.
"Kahseral, what's wrong?" Dyspo asked.
"I feel like something's about to fall down," Kahseral muttered.
"What thing?" Dyspo asked, puzzled.
"I feel like danger is about to strike," Kahseral murmured.
Right then, the sound of Vegeta hurtling through the air reached them.
"What? What thing? Is it the Evil Legion? How dare they!" Without a moment's hesitation, Toppo shot skyward, pierced through the roof, and soared high into the air.
As soon as Toppo burst through the roof and reached the sky, he saw a little boy falling with his hands in his pockets.
The boy's head was already on fire from the friction with the atmosphere.
"Are you with the Evil Legion?" Toppo shouted.
"No." Vegeta grinned and quickly shifted his position in midair so his feet pointed downward.
"Thud!"
The next moment, Vegeta kicked straight at Toppo.
Toppo reacted quickly, immediately crossing his arms in front of his chest to block.
With a muffled thud, Vegeta's kick landed squarely on Toppo's arms.
An enormous force spread rapidly through Toppo's body.
Toppo's expression changed again and again as he felt an overwhelming pressure engulf him.
Toppo was sent flying backward, his body punching straight through a skyscraper behind him.
"Who are you?" Toppo shouted as an energy blast shot from his hand.
Vegeta still had his hands in his pockets and didn't even bother to take them out.
As the energy blast hurtled toward him, Vegeta simply leaned to one side and dodged it with ease.
"What? He dodged it!" Toppo exclaimed in surprise.
Vegeta wasn't in a hurry to attack. That last move had just been a greeting.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Suddenly, Dyspo, Cocotte, Kunshi, Kahseral, and the other Pride Troopers shot up from below and quickly surrounded Vegeta.
Vegeta kept his hands in his pockets, his expression calm and unruffled.
"Whose little kid are you? You dare come to the Pride Troopers' headquarters and cause trouble! Didn't your parents teach you any manners?" Kunshi shouted.
Vegeta lashed his tail out at him from a distance.
The tail compressed the air and struck Kunshi right in the chest.
Kunshi took the blow head-on and was sent flying backward.
As he flew through the air, blood poured from his mouth.
Kunshi plummeted to the ground below, crashing into it and leaving a huge crater.
"Kunshi!" Kahseral cried in alarm and hurriedly rushed down.
"Cocotte, go treat Kunshi," Toppo ordered her.
Toppo had realized that this kid was definitely no ordinary opponent.
The other team members might not be a match for him.
"Yes, Captain!" Cocotte replied.
Then Cocotte hurried down to treat Kunshi.
Only Toppo and Dyspo remained.
"Tell me who you are!" Toppo snorted, staring coldly at Vegeta.
"I'm an Apprentice God of Destruction from Universe 10. I came to challenge you." Vegeta smiled.
"What? An Apprentice God of Destruction?" Toppo was stunned.
"Your God of Destruction, Belmod, is watching from up there. If you don't believe me, you can go ask him." Vegeta smiled faintly.
"Lord Belmod is here?" Toppo immediately shot into the sky without hesitation, speeding upward.
Only Vegeta and Dyspo remained.
Dyspo stared at Vegeta without blinking.
This kid was an Apprentice God of Destruction?
He didn't look like anything special.
"What're you staring at?" Vegeta asked.
"Hmph, I guess just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be an Apprentice God of Destruction these days." Dyspo burst out laughing.
"Come on, you've got some nerve calling him an animal when you're a rabbit yourself." Vegeta snorted.
"You... What did you say?" Dyspo was getting angry.
