[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.]

Trunks. [He stops, turning to meet his son.]

I hate to say it, but I'm in need of an alternative to blasting things into oblivion. I've asked Saori to show me this art of sword fighting, this battōjutsu of hers. If I'm to find myself without any power, I've got to have a backup plan. This is it.

[He ponders on what his dad said and then asks him about it.]

Can she teach me too? I'd like to sharpen my sword fighting skills.

I'm not going to speak for her, so you're just going to have to ask her. Though I'd recommend it. Also, I'd have to say it's quite enjoyable. I never thought disassembling my foes this way would be so satisfying.

I could meet with her in person. Do you happen to know where she lives? And perhaps we could train together?

That's simple enough. She lives in House 44, but you can always just contact her through the journals as well. You know, how people with some form of manners do it.

[Even though Vegeta sort of just shows up at her house whenever he wants.]

Well I thought meeting her in person would be kind of cool. But you're right dad, I'll give her a contact over the journals.

[Because he's nice like that!!]

You still have that sword Tapion gave you when you were still a child, right?

Of course I do. It was in my room at home, but I found it in one of the shops before it got taken by someone else. I only wish Giru was here too.

[He knows Vegeta will understand what he means.]

That blasted robot, zipping around our house, I'm glad he's not here. [Giru irritates the living hell out of Vegeta.] I almost wish he hadn't come to Earth with the three of you, with the exception that he proved useful.

[Hey, he said almost wished he hadn't. That's a good sign, right?]

He ate the dragon radar, we had no choice but to take him. And I while I do agree with you that he was useful, can you not call him just a blasted robot? Giru has feelings too even if he's a robot and he's my best friend next to Goten.

[Seriously Vegeta, your son will fight you over this.]

As long as he shuts up, fine. It's infuriating to walk about and hear him repeat his own name over and over again, and then when I even look at him he has his own little panic attack.

[Really if Giru wasn't so vocal he'd probably be fine with the little guy.]

He can't exactly help it. He was programmed that way to a degree.

Didn't that Dr. Myuu build him? He must of certainly had it in mind to irritate anyone he shared a living space with.

[Because no matter what, Vegeta will have to live with someone of Myuu's creations, even if the good doctor is long gone and dead.]

Yeah he did. But okay okay, I get your point. Though I'm sure Giru likes you despite your feelings, dad.

I doubt it. [Not that he wants Giru to like him, nor does he care if the bot does or not.]

Now, did you drop by to train with me or are you simply passing through? [He wouldn't put it past Trunks to be here for reasons other than to train, but he's not going to say it. Doesn't feel like he has to.]

Oh no. I wanted to train with you because I'm ready to get more serious about it.

Really now? Well good. What made you finally decide to really start taking this seriously? Was it our adventure out in the jungle?

Well between talking to Bulla and that jungle adventure, it made me realize how much I have been slacking. Plus I think it will give me something to do here especially when if we go on more missions, I'll get more tools and materials to help me better understand the technology here.

That is true, you'll get points for going and that will give you access to technology here, so to speak. Though if I were you I'd make a goal for yourself past that. There's more to all this than entertaining yourself and building machines.

But you know that.

Of course I know, dad. But the thought of learning about our captors and what they use fascinates me. Maybe we can even learn their secrets to use against them. It sounds a bit far fetched, but that's how I learned about Doctor Myuu's secrets.

Trust me, you're not the only one around here trying to learn their technological secrets. Some have been at it for years.

[It seemed grim, but he isn't going to lie. Maybe Trunks would get the opportunity to talk to Bil one day? If they ever saw him again...]

If I ever remember any secrets I find, maybe I can use it at home whenever we get there again.

[Since he has been a bit homesick and almost missing a lot of people from there. Particularly Giru, Goten, and Pan. But he won't admit that.]

Don't count on it. Just focus on the task at hand. Now. If you want to train, let's stop wasting time and get to it.

[He turns the power cap off, sheathing his own sword.]

All right, let's do this.

[He throws his jacket, bandanna, and gloves off before cracking his knuckles to get ready.]

It's been awhile. So I might be a bit slow.

No excuses, son. [He cracks his own neck, and without further adieu-

Charges right at Trunks with fists raised, aiming a punch right at his son's face.]
