[Hey, look, he's back with another subject that he's getting real sick and tired of explaining to people. That and after all the crap that's happened to him in the past few months, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to let people know, especially after a conversation he had with Cliff recently.]

Now I'm only going to explain this to the lot of you once. Now watch.

[He's out next to a sheer cliff, at the base of the mountain range. The camera is set on top of another rock, as to show the Saiyan Prince with his hand raised and aiming toward the rock wall- and as soon as it's raised, a blast of energy decimates the wall with a loud boom, leaving it as a rocky heap, the dust slowly settling. Vegeta hasn't flinched, and is coming back to pick up his journal again. This may also give away exactly who was responsible for all those explosions that were heard from last week, if people are smart enough to put two and two together.]

Now, with enough diligent training and meditation, which you should be doing anyway, any of you can do that. It's a simple matter of controlling your energy, but if you're not physically fit enough you're not going to be able to do it. In fact, I'd be surprised if even one percent of you manage to be able to achieve even a fraction of the same destructive force I possess. Either way, that might be something you'll all want to start aiming for. And if you're too weak to fight? Fix it.

Now don't misunderstand me. I'm not looking to pick up students. But if you think you can handle it? Then come find me. We'll see what you're made of.

Private to Firo:

Boy, you've stayed hidden long enough. I've got someone for you to meet.

Private to Cliff:

I do believe you and I have things to discuss yet. I'll not have you jumping me anymore with those pathetic attacks of yours, we're fixing that.

Private to Saori:

If you want to see how it's done, I'll be in the Battle Dome the rest of the day. Don't be late.

Action:

[As promised, he'll be at the Battle Dome if anyone decides to try to seek him out. He'll be actually in a chamber, training in a complete power suppressed simulation, working on his battōjutsu that he's taken up learning. Otherwise, those who know where to find him at home can find him at House 29.]

[She blinks. Daisy had seen Bulla use these "ki blasts", power that would make the Covenant's own plasma weaponry pale if any human in her universe was able to do so. Powerful enough to vaporize an entire body... It's one of these cases where differing laws of physics are a pity.]

You will have to account the laws of reality accounting for every resident. Some of us do train and meditate that much, sir.

Well, we're not exactly in our own realities anymore, are we? Have you even tried? [If there's one thing he's learned, you at least have to try, and furthermore, not give up. Took a long time, but he finally got that in his head even if he has difficulty with that concept still to this day.]

I've gotten a strong touch with most of the spirits by now, and I've been using the Zen school of meditation ever since I was six, one hour a day. [When not in time-critical missions.] I didn't know "ki blasts" even existed before I trained with someone else. One theory was that every resident had his own "reality bubble" when pulled with him. An uncommon concept in studies about slipspace.

[That being said, vaporizing foes with a raw palm? Mention the kamehameha, and she will propose augmenting it with a coilgun.]

One hour a day, huh? Perhaps when you're doing it for twelve hours a day, I'll consider what you have to say on the matter. Either way, I have a hard time believing that it simply isn't possible. Perhaps it's just harder for others because you hail from a different reality than mine. I don't see why that should stop anyone.

[No way, if he's proposing anything, it'll be his Final Flash. Screw the Kamehameha.]

[Twelve hours. She knows he is exaggerating to prove a point, but she got to spend four hours of sleep at Harvest in many days. The rest of those hours were spent in constant missions and battles. It was busy.]

Dimensional adaptation may be a possibility. But to know if it's the product of an unchanged biology or a mutation that could allow to do that... I'd like to know, to be honest with you. What kind of training did you think of?

[Chief Mendez, him especially, would have been interested to know of it. Either to make the Spartan trainees even stronger or out of sheer amusement, Daisy wouldn't guess.]

[Unbeknown to Daisy, Vegeta, or anyone else still alive in her universe after a certain galactic incident, someone did spend 100,000 years in straight and lonely meditation, and would feel very cheated. And while he came out with the intent to commit genocide against humanity like many known villains, he did not gain any powers.]

I couldn't tell you. All I know is that through proper meditation and physical training, one can produce the results you saw today. One boy here can already fly, though not well, and that isn't something characteristic of his world. But he certainly worked hard, oh, I'll give him that, to be able to master the technique enough to achieve flight.

He did it through vigorous physical training, allowing his spirit energy to grow. Then it was simply a matter of getting through a mental block to access it. That's where the meditation comes in.

[It's as simple as that. Though the concept sounds easy, the practice of it is not.]

[Fly? The laws of physics in any planet obeys that, unless one wandered too close near a slipspace engine in operation. Spartans trained, and fought, and meditated, and there were only a handful of fields of warfare they did not excel in, above even other specialists existing in the whole of humanity.

But as he mentioned, none of them were in their worlds anymore, and the attempt had to be made.]

Same as the spirits.

[Same in the way Valvalis taught her. Same in the way Daisy formed a bond with Kipinn.]

I already train a lot. I can wear powered armor that can literally kill anyone else that tries to use it. So you think this could be a matter of clearing one's mind.

[This time, she sounds pondering.]

I'd like to give a shot at that armor. [Sounds like a challenge. Could be fun.]

But yes. Generally that's half the problem in itself, one just can't comprehend the state of mind it takes to merely access their own energy. I assure you it can be done here.

[Not that she'd lend her armor to anyone that wasn't meant to repair or upgrade it, but she had already programmed a version in the Battle Dome. If the man's meditation is as good as he claims, he might learn how to use it, Daisy comes to think.]

Then you're suggesting a retreat of sorts. Days spent only in meditation -- to find that energy.

[She pauses. Would it be possible? She doesn't know. Is it worth a shot? Definitely.]

I'll be open to try this. I've got both things so far.

[Strength, and mediation.

A clear mind? Unfortunately, it's what she's been looking for so long after Halsey took her.]

Then it's settled. You know how to do so, right? Meet me at the Battle Dome so we can go over specifics. [She's one of the few that have come out of the woodwork that have the confidence enough that they can access their energy. He's almost grateful for another one, even though that's one more person he's got to spend time with, and he hates spending time with people.

But, it's for something greater than all of them, so he's willing.]

On it. ETA five minutes.

[She arrives punctually, standing on the central area of the Battle Dome, waiting. Daiy recognized his voice -- from the locked network, from the time she had been... when she had been in Keimi's body. For what it was, she didn't believe she had seen the man in person.

What Vegeta will find, in the Battle Dome, is a seven feet tall girl in a red jumpsuit, with the insignia of a Chief Petty Officer.]

Are you the woman that's supposed to be meeting me here now? [He walks up to her, in his entire 5'5, looking up- quite far at that- at her, questioningly.]

If so, we've got work to do. Come.

[She stands to attention the moment he arrives, arms behind her back, as still as a statue, military discipline towards those that would teach her... perhaps, save for Valvalis... who had been a very loved friend.

She follows along, still as straight as she would at the face of military.]

If you don't mind me asking, [She speaks as they near the area.] what did you have in mind?

[And see if Mendez would think of using this to train poor bastards.]

[Interesting. It's obvious to him she's military. Very obvious. He leads her into one of the chambers, gesturing for her to, surprisingly, sit.]

You say you have trained and meditated enough. So we're going to test that theory. [Whether or not she sits, he does. He's gone through a bit of instruction on this now, and he's finding it easier to approach this in a more relaxed position. Very unlike what he's used to, but it seems to work better.]

We're going to see if you can get at that energy of yours.
