Chapter 3: Why Am I Here? Chp 3
#VEGITO POV#
I hope I am not wrong about Super Saiyan 4
I have no idea if I can even turn Super Saiyan 4
I take a deep breath and exhale and take a moment to think some more about how and why I am here.
I remember playing some video games, although, I can't remember which one I was playing, I do remember playing the game alone
I frown as I think about how shitty my life was
Sort of
I was alone
Relatively speaking
My siblings were like 19-20 years older than me as I was born when my mom was 39 and my dad was 43 while they had my sister when my mom was 18 and my brother was born when my mom was 20
So I didn't have the same type of bond with them as they did with each other
If anything they were rather standoffish
Which is understandable, I mean we have or had nearly 2 decades apart
On the plus side, I sort of grew up with my nephews and nieces
But...it just wasn't the same
There was always that...barrier that made things different for me
I was silent and introverted
I had friends or at least people that I thought of as friends
Then I was proven wrong when they went to a farewell party for one of them and I wasn't invited
I stopped talking to them for a month and they never talked to me again
Months stretched into a year and I quite frankly gave up on them being my friends
Actually, I gave up on friendship in general at that point as no matter what anyone might have said, I would not accept being treated like an option from anyone
Never did I get a girlfriend but that is mostly due to actual fear than anything else
If I picked the wrong one, I would have been screwed
My family was not exactly rich but we weren't far off either
Given that both my mom and dad worked their butts off to provide for my siblings and then me, they had quite a bit of cash on their own
My grandparents and even my great-grandparents were also hard workers and they made their money through hard work
I have been working since I was 16 as my parents wanted me to learn the value of hard work
Not that I complained of course
I was 16 making around 700 dollars a month until I turned 19 when I went to college but ended up dropping out of it as I found it far too expensive and honestly soul-sucking that I became a trucker instead as I honestly wanted to see new places and enjoy my life
It also helped to get my mind off my life
I was never really left wanting
I had a roof over my head, a comfortable bed, and I had enough money to live a good life
I had everything people could ever want
Except for friends
"Wow, I am pathetic," I say with a chuckle which evolves into full-blown laughter
Getting the perspective of both Goku and Vegeta really helps me reflect on my past actions
I laugh even harder at that as I realize that it took their memories to help me reflect on my life
I calm down after a few minutes as I go over to a room I have been using to exercise to look over it
"The place won't last long," I mutter as I scratch the back of my head
I struggle to come up with a few ideas now that I am sort of aware of how to use this new body of mine to an extent
But, there is one underlying issue with everything
My mentality
I am trying to adapt to the circumstances around me as best I can and I have been 'training' to help me process everything
But it's difficult
Thankfully, I am not starting from zero otherwise I would have just gone over to Gohan and Trunks at this point and just told them how to get stronger so they could get rid of the androids already
I focus a bit as I try to sense their energies
Yup, I can still sense the 2 of them and from what I am feeling, Gohan is probably teaching Trunks how to go Super Saiyan at this point
I frown as I go over some of the information that I know
Trunks in the anime became a Super Saiyan upon seeing Gohan's dead body while in the manga, I am pretty sure he already was one before Gohan was killed if I remember correctly
I am not sure how I would be able to help much since comparing my power with Gohan at our base, I am 1/3 as strong as he is from what I managed to gather
To be honest, I know for a fact, that if I manage to train with him for at least a few months, I will be able to defeat one of the androids by myself
This body barely has any muscle memory and what it does have, is because I have been forcing myself to learn everything I can from both Goku and Vegeta's memories
I can already turn Super Saiyan, but the only reason I haven't done so is that my body and mind are not ready for such a thing
Every time I tried it, I could feel my body creaking under the pressure of attempting to transform and my mind just forces me back into base
I know how to use the Kaio-Ken but it's the same thing again, I can't handle it
The only things I have been able to safely practice are Spirit Control, Ki control, and increasing my physical capabilities
Also, every hour or so, I grasp my tail to see if I can get rid of the weakness
Thanks to Vegeta's memories, I know for a fact that I can get rid of it through rigorous training
If Super Saiyan 4 exists, I am going to need it
I let out a sigh as I rub my face with my hands as I try to organize my thoughts
There is so much to do...
#TIMESKIP 1 MONTH LATER#
"I don't know why I am surprised," I say looking at the boar-like creatures that I hunted down to eat
They are way larger than any boar, I have ever seen, then again I never really hunted anything in my past life before and I have never seen a boar in person either
But, I am sure that boars don't grow to the size of a fucking trailer either
I already drained the blood and skinned them and have already begun to process the fat and let the skin dry so that I can make some stuff with it
For example bones
Animal bones are great for survival. Throw some leftover bones into a pot with water, veggies, and herbs and let them simmer for several hours to create a bone broth that you can use or freeze for later.
I totally didn't read the records that Gero had on his computers to learn how to skin and how to use everything an animal can provide
I sit down on a log that I cut down using a ki blade that I formed on my hand
It was rather annoying getting that down
I look up at the orange sky as the sun is setting
"I always wanted to go camping," I whisper to myself before letting out a sigh
I am going to go meet Gohan and Trunks tomorrow
I can already imagine how it's going to go
I frown as I think about what I am going to say to them
I am going to be as honest as possible
I am going to say that I am a clone of Goku and Vegeta and while Gero tried to 'program' me, he failed due to me being a Saiyan and that I want to help them
Turning my head to the side, I spot my bag filled with some of the blueprints of 17 and 18
Bulma may be able to do something with them
I hope
If not, I can at least take all three of them over to Gero's base and scavenge what they can use
I let out a sigh as I hope that they will listen to me
