Chapter 24: Joining the Saiyan army!

Morning soon came for Vocada, who had fallen asleep much quicker than he thought thanks to the comfort of the bed, sleeping better than he had in years.

"Argh... Man, that feels good!" Vocada said, lifting his arms up while he stretched.

Vocada slowly climbed out of the bed, feeling his body resisted by the increased gravity without his Ki control. However, his muscles had seemed to adjust to it much more quickly than he thought they would have, allowing him to almost move freely regardless of not using his Ki to aid him.

"Hmm," Vocada said before he shifted his neck from side to side, cracking it with a loud popping sound.

"Much better." He said before he stripped down to nothing, heading over to the large walk-in shower that he had been meaning to use the night before.

The water burst out from the shower head and was hot right away, allowing Vocada to soak his body in the warm running water, relaxing his muscles and cleaning the sweat and grim from his body.

Vocada couldn't remember how long it had been since he had had a nice hot shower, feeling his tail wagging around in joy while he washed his hair, scrubbing his scalp with the warm water and soap that had been provided.

Once done, Vocada stepped out of the shower and powered up his Ki, drying his body off in an instant, something he had figured out he could do early on during his days on Vubroth.

Vocada took a peak at his body in the mirror before he picked up his clothing and got dressed, putting his Saiyan armour back on before he wrapped his tail around his waist, noticing that his mucles had grown a little more toned and filled out a little more.

Vocada then proceeded to clip his scouter over his left ear, making sure it was secure on his face.

"So, today is the day I report to the Saiyan army, eh?" Vocada said to himself, looking at his quest log on his system display screen.

"Guess it's time." He then said to himself, catching a glimpse of himself in the reflection of the mirror again before he headed out of the room, feeling like a real warrior.

However, Vocada's stomach suddenly growled rather loud, reminding him that he hadn't had anything to eat since he got here, almost telling him off for forgetting.

Guess I had better find some food before I do anything else. Vocada said to himself, patting his stomach, knowing he needed to eat.

Vocada headed out into the town, looking for a restaurant or something that would be selling food. Of course, he did have to go looking too far, coming across what he guessed was a cafe from the looks of it.

Vocada walked into the cafe to see a few Saiyans already sitting around eating and laughing with one another. Vocada minded his own business and took a seat, seeing a menu on the table.

"Hello, sir. What may I get you today?" A robot on wheels said as it came rushing over to Vocada, ready to take his order.

Vocada took a quick look at the menu, seeing a variety of foods that he had no idea what was what.

"Umm... Get me some meat and a large water." Vocada said, not sure what else to say.

"At once sir, that will be 300 credits." The robot said, extending its arm, and showing a scanner for Vocada to use to pay.

Vocada tapped the small button on his scouter, popping out the swipe card for him to use, paying the robot.

"Payment successful, your food will be out soon." The robot then said before it took off.

Vocada could see the different groups of Saiyans sitting around chatting, while they ate their breakfast. Much like humans back on Earth, they came in all sorts of shapes and sizes, with each and every one of them having their own looks and unique traits of their own.

"Here is your food sir." The robot said, placing a large plate of grilled and cooked meats onto his table, as well as a large jug of light purple liquid.

"Enjoy." The robot said before it zoomed off, having many more jobs to do.

Vocada wasn't sure what it was, but it sure smelled tasty, deciding to pick up one of the large pieces of meat on a bone and take a bite.

"H-Holy shit... So good!" Vocada yelled out, not having tasted anything this tasty in all of his time in this universe.

Some of the others turned around and looked over at him, giving him a strange look before going back to their business and ignoring him.

Vocada stuffed his face, taking bite after bite, washing it down with the tasty drink too, enjoying every last bit until there was nothing left but the bones, eating like an animal with no manners.

Now that Vocada was full of energy, he decided he should get a move on, letting out a large burp that signalled it was time to go. With that he left the cafe and walked back out onto the street, seeing the hustle and bustle of everyone going about their day.

Vocada tapped his scouter, bringing up the coordinates of the location he was supposed to report to, seeing it wasn't too far away.

"battleground in outer sector 42..." Vocada said, seeing the scouter display the location for him.

Vocada floated up into the air before he burst off with his Ki, flying toward his destination with good speed, heading away from the towns and cities toward what he guessed was the countryside, finally coming to a large wasteland area as his scouter told him he was only 500 meters from his destination.

"Looks like I'm here..." Vocada said, being able to see a group of other Saiyans all standing around the area with what looked like a battle ring in the centre.

Vocada touched down, seeing all eyes fall on him, with two other Saiyans wearing white cloaks over their shoulder guards at the front, looking important.

"You there, report." One of them said, getting Vocada to go over to them.

"My name is Vocada." Vocada said.

"I was told to meet here today to join the military." He said.

"Vocada eh? Looks like you are the last one." One of them said as he checked his pad, seeing that all names were now present.

"Fall in." The Saiyan captain then said, telling Vocada to go and join the others, waiting for him to do so.

"Alright, you sorry bastards! Listen up!" The other Saiyan shouted, causing all of the Saiyans around Vocada to pay attention.

"You have all been selected to join the Saiyan military. That means you will be placed into groups and sent off-world to conquer planets in the name of King Vegeta under the Cold Force."

"Depending on your power levels, you will be paired up and sent out across the universe based on your strength. We have all of your details here, so bear with us while we make the arrangements. If we call out your name, follow our instructions." The Saiyan captain explained.

"However, not all of you will make the cut." He then said, scanning each and every one of them to check their power levels.

Vocada guessed that it made sense, seeing that most of the Saiyans here already looked like they knew how to fight, not being able to see any that looked younger than he did.

"Alright, let's see here..." The Saiyan captain then said, pressing a few buttons before the system organised the Saiyan soldiers from the strongest to the weakest, seeing that Vocada was at the top of the list, with a power level of 3100.

"Wow... Not a bad power level at all." The Saiyan captain said, looking over at Vocada, who was standing with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Alright, Fist squad listen up!" The Saiyan shouted, calling five names out, none of which were Vocada's.

This went on a few more times, until only Vocada and two others were left, leaving him a little confused.

"That concludes the teams, your orders are being transmitted to your scouters, so go ahead and get lost." The Saiyan captain said, dismissing everyone but Vocada and the other two who were standing with him.

"As for you three, we have a special task for you." The Saiyan captain then said, walking over to Vocada and the other two.

"Vocada. Parsnap, and Gorlick. The three of you will be going on a mission of your own. Having been deemed strong enough to handle the task." The Saiyan captain said, looking at the three of them, seeing that they were the strongest among the new recruits.

"All three of you have only just arrived back off planet, making you perfect for this mission. You will be going to a planet called, Broria L15. You are to conquer the planet and make it ready for sale." The captain said.

"However, you also have another mission..." He then said, frowning as he got serious.

"You are to hunt a deserter by the name of Escar. He was tasked with taking over the planet with a squad of his own, however, the last report we received was that he killed his own team and betrayed the Saiyan race. Your mission is to kill him and bring back his body to make an example of."

Vocada had to admit he was interested in the mission, seeing that he had completed the quest of joining the military, with a new quest popping into his display, having gained EXP from completing it.

"Sounds easy enough." The one called Parsnip said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Whatever, as long as I get to kill something, I'm happy." The other one by the name of Gorlick said, having a smirk on his face.

"Alright then, you have your orders. Welcome to the military boys. You are dismissed." The Saiyan captain said putting the commands into his touchpad, turning his back on the three of them before he and the other guy took off, clearly having better things to do.

Vocada looked at the other two and they looked at him, making it seem like a standoff between the three of them.

Well, this is going to be fun... Vocada thought, having an idea of what was about to happen next.
