[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 lets out a "Hah" at this before she crosses her arms and-]

Let me guess. Based on this, and based on how you handled that mission, you've been here... one year, tops. Probably more like eight, nine months. You're coming close on a year and feeling self-important. Am I wrong?

Spew your condescending banter all you like. I don't see the point in pointing out how long I've been here at all. [Vegeta feels he does not have time for this, he's already stretching himself very, very far, he feels, to even offer assistance.]

If you don't want the help, fine. Die with the rest of them. See if I care.

Try looking in a mirror. When I'm still here in a year, I'll be sure to remember you were here.

Make sure you keep a good note of how many death penalties you've suffered in that time too. Perhaps those will teach you a lesson.

It won't be a long list. Zero.

We'll see about that. [He has severe doubts about anyone who can't fight surviving. He assumes if she doesn't die, she'll be damn lucky.]

I don't see why you aren't doing anything to ensure it stays that way. It's a stupid, foolish decision.

You're the one who said nothing, and you're the one who's caught up in this fantasy that only people out on a battlefield can do anything. You sound like an ignorant muscle-brained person who's just been confronted with the seriousness of our situation for the first time and you're freaking out because of it. Excuse me if I'm more interested in the idea of being able to shoot lasers and my own goals than your superiority complex.

[Wow what a rude little girl, he ought to break her in half.]

Yes, you with all your experience with fighting wars, telling me how battle works. Think whatever you please. That still doesn't remove the fact of the matter that there are beings on this planet seeking to kill every single one of us, by brutal means, since we're bringing that point into this argument now. I gave you an option, and you decided to get all huffy with me about it. So don't go telling me I said nothing.

You don't get to run your mouth when you're too lazy to train. When you're in danger, don't expect anyone to save you.

I don't need to, it's not my field. You tell me how you're going to handle diplomacy, because I think you'll do an amazing job with that.

[Huff, and] I'm not lazy. I said try me - and in fact, I'm keeping that open for you.

There are plenty of fighters out there who are also diplomatic, believe me, I know quite a few of them. [How does Kakarot do it? He can't even figure it out. Guy can make friends with anyone, he swears...]

I offered to find you an instructor. I'm not going to waste my time finding you an opponent. I'm sure you can handle that just fine on your own, it's not as if there isn't plenty of them around here as it is. But I'm sure you won't even do that much.

Then you should keep that in mind.

[...] But fine, whatever - who would you pick as an "instructor" out of curiosity?

[But he doesn't want to be diplomatic, Haruhi...remember, he's a hypocrite!]

I don't know if I even feel like sharing that information with you right now. [Said of course to show his displeasure with her.] But, fine. It depends on what you'd want to do. Saori Kimura has been instructing me in the art of swordplay, and I know she would gladly teach others. If you'd rather split your enemies's faces open with your fists, Cliff Fittir has been taking his own students. Among plenty of others, I'm sure.

[ God this guy is such a dick ] I'm not going to split open heads or cut people up either way. God, I thought you had a point to this.

[Yes. The most frustrating.]

That is the point. What did you think I was trying to get at anyhow?

Self defense, you jackass. I might not be a schoolgirl, but I'm not going to be on the front line of a battlefield or certainly going on my way to cleave in skulls, and I'm not under any sort of obligation to either. And if you think people are, then maybe you'd be better off with the enemies which have you so freaked out to begin with. You'd certainly fit in more.

[He just...doesn't understand this girl at all.]

Part of self defense is being able to attack as well, or did you miss that part? What is it with you and being completely against the very idea of fighting back anyhow? You act like a spoiled little brat who got picked last for the kickball team every time. A lot of bark with no bite.

Of course you wouldn't get it. [... Sigh and] I'm willing to defend myself, and I have before, but I'm not going to kill anymore face to face. I'm not going to seek out fighting either.

And for your information, I always win at kickball.

What, so you've dirtied your hands after all, huh? I can hardly believe it. [This girl? Kill people? He guesses, there were stranger ones in Luceti that have done the same.]

I was on that mission with you, moron.

That's not what I was referring to, imbecile. I was referring to you personally making sure that the blood of your enemies covered your own two hands. Not some bomb that someone else detonated as you hid behind a so-called impenetrable wall, while they did the dirty work.

[ Rrr ] I just said no and I just said that I'm not going to, either. And don't take that to mean I've never fought or anything, because I have. And frankly, unless you're going to name a trainer or make arrangements, this conversation's clearly pointless. So I'm closing this book unless you say something productive in the next moment.

I've named two already for you. If you're not interested in what I've offered, then you're just going to have to find someone else. So I'll go ahead and take care of ending this conversation for you.

[And he hangs up on her, because he's a jerk and wanted the last say in things.]
