Aeris sat on top of one lucky victim while sipping her drink and humming to herself, successfully adding a little extra weight to his training.
About half an hour later, she left the training ground and wandered back to her little room on her own. She sat by the window and stared outside in a daze. She had been here for quite a while now.
Exactly how long?
Aeris had no clue.
Namek didn't have nights, so keeping track of time was a pain in the ass.
She let out a sigh.
She really was starting to miss Earth's food.
And somewhere in the middle of those thoughts, she fell asleep.
She had no idea how long she slept.
Days kept passing in the same boring three-point routine over and over again.
Aeris was starting to feel like this never-ending daylight was unbearable. Having it be daytime all the damn time was genuinely awful, so today she decided she was leaving and heading back out into the universe to continue her training.
Well…
Training.
Traveling.
Same thing.
Once she made up her mind, Aeris stood up.
Then immediately sat back down.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
She had forgotten.
Her ship was gone.
Now she was seriously regretting not wishing for a new one back then.
But the moment she thought about wishes, she remembered that she could breathe in space now.
Which meant all she really needed to prepare was food.
With that in mind, Aeris started packing her luggage.
By which, naturally, she meant food.
Once she was done, she flew straight to the Grand Elder's place, said her goodbyes to him and the others, and then set off immediately. If she stayed here any longer, she was pretty sure she'd start growing mold.
As she rose into the air, Aeris waved farewell to Dende and Nail before shooting straight up toward the sky.
From the ground, Dende shouted after her, "Aeris! If you have time, come visit us again!"
After breaking through the atmosphere, Aeris finally arrived back in open space.
"Damn… I didn't realize I was this fast now. Alright then, here I come, universe…"
Grinning, Aeris flew deeper into space.
At this point, her speed was already infinitely close to light speed.
And that was without going all out.
Then again, Dragon Ball flight speed was always weird as hell. Sometimes they were casually moving faster than light, other times they acted like crossing a short distance took forever.
Anyway.
As Aeris flew, she enjoyed the sheer thrill of it while scanning the nearby planets around her.
Because planets meant food.
Just thinking that made her smile.
She had no idea how long she'd been flying when she finally spotted one.
Though it looked kind of run-down.
And from the looks of it…
There was a war happening.
"Well, well… talk about perfect timing. Heh…"
The moment she saw a war, her hands started itching.
"No, no, I need to hurry up. If I'm late, there won't even be any heads left for me to take."
Saying that, Aeris sped up and dived toward the planet.
BOOM!!!
And just like that, she made a flashy landing.
"Mwahahaha! War! Your main character has arrived!"
She swept her eyes over the battlefield, searching for who her opponents were supposed to be.
Then almost immediately, her face filled with disgust.
"Yeah, no. Earthlings really do look better. Even Namekians are way easier on the eyes than these ugly little shits."
As she said that, she casually tossed out a few energy balls.
BOOM!!!
Watching the destruction unfold, Aeris's excitement began rising little by little.
"Ah… what beautiful screams… truly… ah… subarashii…"
As she listened to the cries of the soldiers caught in the blast, writhing on the ground in pain, a strange flush spread across her face.
"Yes… that's it… scream louder for me… little insects…"
The moment she finished speaking, she threw out a few more energy balls.
Hearing their screams of fear, rage, and cowardice only made her even more exhilarated.
Her tail swayed nonstop behind her, making it painfully obvious that Aeris was in a fantastic mood right now.
So caught up in her enjoyment, she completely failed to notice that three figures were watching her from not far away.
Two tall.
One short.
"V-Vegeta… Prince Vegeta… where the hell did this troublemaker come from all of a sudden…"
Vegeta: "…"
Vegeta would like the record to show that he had no fucking clue either.
"Raditz. Scan her. I want to know what kind of battle power makes someone act this arrogant."
"Right away, Prince Vegeta…"
Raditz raised his scouter and aimed it at Aeris.
Beep beep beep—
Crack!
The scouter exploded.
All three of them were stunned.
Nappa, refusing to believe it, tried with his own.
Same result.
Boom.
Gone.
"T-That's impossible… if even the scouters can't read her, then her battle power is definitely beyond their detection range…"
Vegeta's face darkened immediately.
Irritated, he ripped his own scouter off and crushed it in his hand.
"Hmph. That bastard Frieza's people really do rely on nothing but useless junk."
He tossed the broken remains aside and crossed his arms, continuing to watch.
"But what about Lord Frieza…" Raditz asked nervously.
He looked at Vegeta with a little concern.
Because right now, Vegeta was in one of those moods again. If Frieza decided to make an issue out of it, things could get ugly fast. On top of that, the Saiyans were already practically extinct. Counting himself, his little brother, Nappa, and Vegeta, there were only four of them left.
Raditz sighed inwardly.
This was exhausting.
Nappa was a muscle-brained idiot.
Prince Vegeta was constantly getting messed with by Frieza's subordinates because of his temper.
And Raditz?
Well, he was only slightly better.
Why?
Because he was the weakest of the three.
All he really had was the tiny amount of brains he could still make use of.
Then suddenly, Vegeta's eyes widened as he stared at the battlefield.
He had seen something.
A tail.
Wait.
No.
Saiyan hair wasn't white.
Vegeta froze.
Because the woman in front of them was very likely a surviving Saiyan.
And not just any Saiyan—
A female Saiyan.
An extremely valuable one.
The two beside him didn't react nearly as strongly because they weren't even looking at Aeris. They were still busy thinking about how the hell they were supposed to explain this situation.
At that moment, our lovely main character finally noticed the three of them.
"Aha… three little rats. You look a tiny bit stronger than this pile of trash. I do hope you can give me at least a little fun…"
Aeris said that while biting her finger, though the look in her eyes was more than a little strange.
She slowly began walking toward them.
On the way, she casually grabbed a weird-looking little grunt nearby and ripped his arm clean off with brute force. Aeris examined the severed arm in her hand and nodded with satisfaction.
The grunt stared at the demon in front of him in horror as she casually tore his arm off like it was nothing.
Still…
He was also relieved he'd survived.
Compared to losing his life, what was one arm?
Unfortunately for him, that relief didn't last long. Because the very next second, an energy ball appeared right in front of him.
Boom…
"Tch… I was in a good mood, so I was gonna let you live. But that relieved little sigh of yours annoyed me."
After saying that, she kept walking toward Vegeta and the others.
The closer this woman got, the more intense the pressure around her became.
Vegeta could feel it clearly.
This pressure wasn't like the kind Frieza gave off.
Frieza's aura inspired fear.
This woman, on the other hand…
Felt like pure destruction.
Absolute destruction.
But Vegeta was the proud Prince of all Saiyans.
There was no way he was going to back down just because of some vague instinct screaming at him to run.
That was impossible.
"Hmph! Then let me test whether you're really as strong as you're pretending to be… unless you're just all bark and no bite!"
The moment he said that, Vegeta blasted forward toward Aeris.
Aeris's lips curled upward.
"Oh ho… so instead of running away, you're actually coming to challenge me? In that case…"
She smiled wider.
"Why don't you come a little closer?"
