* Boom *
Stumbling after a synchronised punch, Raditz huffed, skidding to a stop he put his hands up in the air.
" Let's stop for now, I still have some business to attend to. "
Said Raditz as he wiped the sweat off his forehead, Roshi hearing that also took back his stance and got into a relaxed posture.
" Alright, you are improving pretty fast, it's amazing how quickly you are picking this up. "
Emotion was audible in Roshi's voice as he praised his newest student's talent.
Bulma also climbed down from the roof and spoke while walking towards the two.
" Well he is Goku's older brother, Goku learnt your Kamehameha by seeing it once didn't he. "
Roshi twitched his eyes, yeah both brother's were hard to teach, they learn things way too quickly, it's too much pressure for the teacher.
Raditz meanwhile was done with his training and powered up to the maximum again.
Suppressing his ki all the time will only make him weaker and prone to getting caught off guard.
" Eeeh?! That's your real power?? "
Roshi finally sensed the ki emanating from Raditz as he decided to stop hiding it anymore.
Raditz shrugged at that, he was only 2050 right now, nothing too spectacular, he would reach at least Vegeta's level before his old partners arrive.
" I need much more than this if I am to repel my old partners, and old man, I sense a lot of dormant potential in your body, you can get a lot stronger too. "
Roshi fixed his sunglasses at Raditz's words, he decided to not comment on it.
He had figured Goku and his students were strong enough to handle anything, but now this whole deal about aliens and Raditz's words got him thinking.
' Should I pick up the pace again..? It's been years since I had to train. '
Roshi's silence was taken as a good thing by Raditz, or the master would have straight away denied him.
So Raditz decided to not dwell on the topic anymore and let the master think, shaking his shoulders to get the slight pain out, he asked Roshi.
" Master Roshi, would you happen to know where I can learn the transformation technique? "
Bulma walked upto Raditz with her arms behind her and stood right besides him, looking up at Raditz, she spoke with a questioning tone.
" What's that? Something like Oolong's technique? "
Raditz didn't have to speak though, because Roshi did in his stead.
" That's right Bulma, there's a technique like that, they teach it in the kindergarten, but Oolong doesn't know the whole thing, you should go to Yamcha for that, Puar knows it. "
Bulma scrunched up her face at the mention of Yamcha but didn't say anything more, Raditz nodded plainly.
Roshi seeing that Raditz was interested, pointed towards a direction, and said.
" Korin tower is that way, that's where Yamcha and the others are at, puar should be around him as well. "
Smiling lightly, Raditz nodded to Roshi and looked at Bulma.
" You coming? "
While Bulma was a little uninterested to go around Yamcha, Raditz's invitation immediately removed that.
" Yes Raditz! I am coming..! "
Bulma in true Bulma fashion immediately went ahead and stuck to Raditz, who held her and started to slowly float.
But Bulma stopped him as soon as she could, she had enough of flying at the speed of sound for today.
" Wait wait wait! "
Raditz raised his eyebrows at her and she reached into her pocket, took out a capsule and threw it at the ground.
* Pomf *
With a whole lot of smoke, a big flying machine was unleashed from the capsule.
Showing it to Raditz Bulma said proudly.
" I made this from scratch, it can move anywhere, water, earth and air! "
Raditz became interested at that, seperating from Bulma he walked upto the contraption.
* Bang *
* Bang *
knocking on it lightly, Raditz checked the toughness of the material.
" How do you make it move in space? The material isn't nearly as strong to resist the minimum standard speed of spacecrafts. "
Looking at Bulma who looked very confused at his information, Raditz clarified
" The minimum standard is set by the galactic patrol, it's done to avoid traffic you see, machines that are too slow and are still flying through space are fined. "
Bulma scratched her hair at the new information, and said while twitching her lips.
" I didn't know that! My sister never told me! And this can't fly through space, I didn't think I ever needed to go there before you know, knowing you exist. "
Raditz understood why the machine didn't look that sturdy to him, the old Raditz during all his travels had built up a lot of common sense.
Knowing which spaceship can fly and not get destroyed in travel was basic stuff.
" Alright, that's a bummer, but I think I can do something about it, I have my spaceship at the villa, I'll go get it later and modify this puppy. "
Folding his hands Raditz looked at Bulma who's eyes were shining by now.
" No machine can call itself every area accessible if it can't even travel space, resisting lava pools and solar flares are the bare minimum standard for me. "
Bulma immediately jumped up on Raditz, surprising him, she didn't care and hugged him with a big smile.
" You know how to work with machines?! I finally found someone who knows something other than punching stuff! "
Bulma was over cloud nine, while Raditz was wondering if this was worth getting so pumped up for.
While orginal Raditz wasn't a very tech savvy guy, he was, this world had a lot of new tech but capsule corporation also had a lot of very good how to guides.
Sure, he won't be building time machines anytime soon, but he didn't need to either, he now had Bulma on his side.
" I am no expert, but I know a few things, you pick up this stuff as you live my kind of life. "
Raditz seriously said while pointing towards the flying machine.
" Shall we go? I have an interview tomorrow, it's kind of important for my career, I need to get this done as soon as possible. "
Bulma backed away from Raditz and smiled, opening the door to her machine she sat in the driver seat.
Raditz didn't care, it wasn't his machine and even if Bulma somehow messes up he could fly, so he too walked upto the copilot seat.
* Thump *
Closing the doors, Bulma and Raditz bid farewell to Roshi and the machine took off.
* Fooosh *
Watching the machine flying away Roshi rubbed his head.
" Looks like it's only me and you turtle, Bulma found someone too.. "
Walking towards his house he wondered if he should look for launch again, she left searching for Tein a while ago and didn't return yet.
