Thirty minutes passed quickly.
Vegeta woke up and walked out of the healing room.
He was on Frieza's spaceship, and Frieza was in the main control room.
Having been beaten soundly by Zarbon and nearly losing his life, Vegeta was still shaken.
But a misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. Vegeta felt his power had increased dramatically, almost doubled.
This was much more severe than the beating Aaron had given him.
Vegeta wanted to fight back, but upon second thought, Frieza was on the ship, so he knew he couldn't win.
As long as the secret of the Dragon Ball wasn't revealed, they wouldn't dare kill him. At worst, they'd torture him. He might as well play along.
Several soldiers tied him up, ready to torture him to get the Dragon Ball's location.
"Vegeta, hand over the Dragon Ball!"
"Hmph!"
Vegeta turned his head away arrogantly.
Zarbon walked over and said, "Vegeta, Frieza-sama's only goal is the Dragon Balls. Just tell us where the last one is, and I'll spare your life!"
Vegeta sneered: "Heh, you think I'm as stupid as you idiots? Kill if you want. As for the Dragon Ball, no!"
"You!"
Zarbon's face turned livid, trembling with rage.
Then, a sinister smile appeared on Zarbon's face.
"Guards!"
"Yes, Zarbon-sama!"
"Beat him! Torture him! I must know where that Dragon Ball is! Otherwise, you all die!"
The soldiers were terrified.
"Yes, Zarbon-sama!"
Then, the torture began.
Vegeta was beaten badly by the soldiers. Even as whips split his skin, iron rods cracked his bones, he didn't make a sound.
Normally, these weaklings couldn't hurt him.
But Vegeta had mastered Ki Control. He suppressed his Ki to its lowest, and his physical strength fluctuated with his Ki, allowing those weak soldiers to break his bones and make him bleed.
But he gritted his teeth and endured.
Just as the soldiers were beating him again, Vegeta lost consciousness again.
Zarbon frowned once more.
"Passed out again? How troubleso."
"Guards! Put him back in the healing tank. Wake him up and do it again. I refuse to believe he won't talk!"
"Yes, Zarbon-sama!"
"Next ti, hit him harder. Just don't kill him!"
"Understood!"
Soon, the soldiers took Vegeta back to the healing room.
Just then, a communications officer ran over.
"Zarbon-sama, Frieza-sama requests your presence."
Zarbon nodded and walked towards the main control room where Frieza was.
Another thirty minutes passed.
Vegeta felt his injuries heal completely again.
His Power Level had doubled once more, reaching 120,000.
He was ecstatic.
Frieza's Power Level of 530,000 was known to him, and he had an idea of his transford power.
Feeling his own increase, Vegeta secretly rejoiced.
'I get it now. So this is the path to becoming a Super Saiyan.'
'Getting stronger by getting beaten up. Maybe I'll beco a Super Saiyan soon.'
'Frieza, when I beco a Super Saiyan, your end will be near!'
Thinking that soon he could boost his Power Level past Frieza's, then get the Dragon Balls and achieve immortality, Vegeta was extrely excited. His excitent was his painkiller.
From now on, he, Vegeta, would be the new Universe Emperor.
Vegeta trembled with excitent.
Soon, several soldiers dragged him out again.
"Heh, Vegeta, look at you shaking. Doesn't feel good getting beaten, does it?"
"Talk? If not, things won't go well for you!"
"Hmph! Kill if you can!"
"Kill you? Don't be ridiculous. Death would be too easy. We'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Until you tell us where the Dragon Ball is!"
"Hahahaha, scared, aren't you?"
A small squad leader looked down at the bound Vegeta, threatening him.
Vegeta seized the opportunity: "Ah… pui!"
He spat a glob of phlegm onto the squad leader's face.
This action successfully enraged the squad leader.
The squad leader was furious: "Vegeta, you damn bastard! You sure are arrogant even in such state! Guards, hit him! Beat him hard!"
In an instant, Vegeta was being beaten again.
Although his body was in pain, his heart was extrely pleased.
This new model healing tank was so comfortable. Healing completely in just thirty minutes… what a great device!
Vegeta was in pain, but also happy.
…
On the other side.
Aaron, Krillin, and Goku finally arrived on Nak.
Following Aaron's suggestion, they all suppressed their Ki to avoid detection.
Krillin said, "I can sense Frieza's Ki. It's strong and evil. But it's far from your peak states."
"Is this just Frieza's initial form?"
Aaron nodded: "Yes. Don't judge him by his surface power. He has three transformations. Second form: 1,200,000 Power Level. Third form: 3,000,000 Power Level. Final form: 30,000,000 Power Level. His maximum output is 120,000,000."
"I see. This guy hides his power well. We shouldn't confront him directly, right?"
Goku said, "I really want to fight him."
Krillin quickly grabbed Goku: "Be steady. Don't get cocky. Rember our goal!"
Goku nodded: "Ahaha, okay, okay."
They slipped out of the spaceship, and Aaron put it into a Capsule.
If Frieza destroyed the planet, he could just pull it out and use it anyti. No need to waste ti searching.
Krillin took out the Dragon Radar and checked for Dragon Balls.
"1, 2, 3… 6! Wow! That location is where Frieza's spaceship is, right? They've already gathered six! That was close!"
Aaron was surprised: "What? Already six? Check the location of the last one."
Krillin nodded, then zood out on the map and quickly found the last signal point.
"Haha, Bulma's Dragon Radar works great! Found it! As long as we have the last Dragon Ball, Frieza can't summon Shenron."
Aaron said, "Let's go. Suppress your Ki, fly low. Find that Dragon Ball first."
They both nodded.
