What Reijin was saying was true. It was obvious to everyone, and no one could deny it. At some point within this game, should they survive Raditzu?s wrath, they would end up facing one another. Even Vegeta might be left fighting against his own son. The thought about how this game was just that, a game was hard for the king to overcome. Killing his son wasn?t in fact what he was doing, but just defeating him in a battle. He would still be alive, just not in the competition any longer.
He quickly pushed that thought out of his mind. Should that time come, then that?s when he?ll decide his actions. For now it was find the next group, and kill them off as fast as possible. Since the previous death occurred, the time limit has reset. Karl Jak had made his announcement, and a new map appeared for them to use. The island was now made so that the groups would be forced inward, rather than hiding like cowards along the perimeter. Vegeta was most pleased with this, bringing a straight grin to his face.
The dark cloud that hovered between the members of the group almost appeared to be lifting, although Trunks and Reijin would share their words, no doubt causing great disturbance within their own hearts, yet they both dealt with it in the utmost professional way.
Trunks then had a strange outbreak. Pain appeared to reek throughout his body, yet know one could determine the reason of illness. His power flicked through a transformation, and the earring he wore began to shine with an eerie color.
"Dammit, what's wrong with him?" Vegeta took a step back, a bit surprised at the sudden fanatic impulse. His eyes widened a bit as if trying to use some sort of x-ray vision to figure out what the problem was.
"I don't know," Kami responded. "I've never seen anything like this." Apparently the elder Namek was new to this game as well. He peered upon the young Saiya-jin prince, yet to his demise couldn?t tell just what was currently taking place.
Reijin gave the saiyan prince an unimpressed gaze. "He'll be all right in a minute." The short haired Saiya-jin didn?t look amused at all. The power that he shown didn?t even come anywhere near to touching the base of his, and Reijin shrugged it off. Vegeta was a bit disturbed by the way Reijin has been acting towards his son, but again, it was the whole sibling rivalry thing. The king knew it would take place among the two, and would just have to deal with it.
As soon as Reijin shrugged it off however, the intense glow emanating from Trunks? earring began to vanish from view. The boy opened his eyes, appearing to feel a hundred times better than just a few moments before. He took a deep breath as he sat up and rubbed the sides of his head.
"What the hell was that?" Trunks questioned himself, "That was so painful." Just the look of what had happened almost made Vegeta?s own head hurt, or perhaps it was just the father looking out for his son feat.
"How are you feeling now?" Thirteen enquired. The android slowly walking up towards the young prince in order to take record of his pain.
"Yeah, I'm fine now," Trunks was quick to respond, "But still, what ... was that?" No body knew, for this was a first timer. Perhaps there were still some things in the world that people were virgins to. Vegeta grabbed his bag full of the acquired weapons and slung it over his back.
?Good? but again, this isn?t time or the place to rest. So let?s keep moving.? Vegeta huffed and began to walk again in the same direction as they was initially headed in. The battle that was to come whether it be with Rad?s group or not was going to be fierce, and they needed as much of a jump on the situation as possible. Like Reijin said earlier, strategy was the key. The king dealt with many wars, and tactics was one of the key factors in all of them. His military training while growing up has always put him in a position of knowledge however, and this case was no different.
