Chapter 8: Time to fly!
Another week had passed since Vocada had escaped his prison in the capital city and battled his way out. Since then he had levelled up and fully recovered from his wounds, having found a nice little spot in a cave next to a fresh lagoon far away in the desert, giving him shade from the sun and plenty of drinking water.
Name: Vocada.
Race: Saiyan.
Age: 4 years old.
Power Level: 280
Stats:
Level: 6 [EXP 140/400]
Strength: 7
Speed: 6
Ki control: 10/10?
Ability points: 1
Abilities: [Oozaru transformation] [Zenkai boost] [Basic Ki control]
Vocada had noticed that his zenkai boost had kicked in, along with his level up, boosting his power level up to 280, giving him a large jump. Another thing he had noticed was that his Ki control was now displaying 10/10, leaving him wondering what it meant.
Turns out that once one of his stats reached ten, he could upgrade it and reset it to level 1, giving him a much larger boost to that skill and his power level. Or so the system explained to him.
Vocada had now spent the last few days hunting for food, finding that most of the animals around here would bury themselves in the sand to stay cool, with a lot of them coming out at night to drink the water from the lagoon.
So far Vocada had hunted and killed three different types of them, including the armadillo-looking things that had stolen his food that one time, feeling as if he had gotten his revenge. That was until he tried to eat the thing, finding that it was like trying to eat a brick.
Still, the think skin would make for decent clothing thanks to its scales and natural armour, giving Vocada a little more protection than the rags he had from his imprisonment.
As far as he was aware, Vocada had become public enemy number one, knowing that no matter where he went now he would be hunted by the Vubrothians, knowing that he would have no choice other than to fight if he wanted to survive.
However, at this point he didn't seem to care anymore, knowing that if these things wanted him dead, then he would strike the first blow once he was ready.
Still, thanks to retaining his scouter, Vocada had been able to see that there were still stronger warriors on this planet than the Prince he had fought against, and he was still alive too meaning he would most likely have to fight him again.
"Should have kicked him harder..." Vocada said as she chewed on a piece of meat from a fish-like creature he had caught in the water, having grilled it with his energy blast.
Vocada finished eating his meal before he took a rest in the shade, not wanting to get sunburn again from staying in the heat for too long, already having acquired a tan to die for from being on this planet.
There were still many things that Vocada wanted to know and try, knowing he had so far to go in this crazy universe. After all, with the introduction of Dragon Ball Super, Gods of Destruction, multiverse theory and transformations such as ultra instinct coming into play, it kind of made him feel small and somewhat useless in the grand scheme of things.
Still, considering the fact he had been sent here by the Saiyans, he had to wonder where the current timeline was at.
"Wait a second... Does that mean that Frieza already blew up the planet Vegeta... Am I stuck here forever?" He wondered, hoping that, that wasn't the case.
Still, he had no way of really knowing these things and decided to push the thought to the back of his mind, trying to focus on the here and now.
Vocada sat up and crossed his legs before he began to focus his energy on his hands again, creating a large energy ball that he allowed to flow around him, focusing on his Ki control skill for a moment.
"Now let that energy flow underneath me..." Vocada said, trying to shift the energy under his legs and butt, giving it a moment before he started to slowly float off the ground.
"I'm doing it..." He said, opening his eyes as he tried to straighten up his body only to flop over onto the ground and face plant.
"Ah fuck!" Vocada said as he slowly got back up and rubbed his face.
Vocada had been trying to learn how to use his energy to fly for the last couple of days, but each time he tried to go higher than 2 feet he messed it up and dropped on his face, not understanding what he was doing wrong.
Vocada decided to return to his martial arts training for the time being, working on his speed and footwork as well as his striking power attack speed, shadow boxing while he mixed in bodyweight exercises, wanting to train as much as possible.
It was nothing special and remained a slow grind compared to having his cheat system. However, it gave him peace of mind allowing him to train himself his own way, not having to fight or kill anyone for the time being either.
Another two weeks of training soon passed by for Vocada, and although he had been able to improve his speed and strength by one level each, he was still stuck with trying to learn how to fly, seeing that his Ki control was capped at this level.
"I give up," Vocada said as he lay on the ground trying to catch his breath. He had been at it for hours, only getting two to three feet off the ground before he dropped each time, using a large amount of energy to keep him afloat.
While he rested, Vocada brought up his display screen, taking a look at his stats.

"No choice... Looks like it's time to use that ability point." He said as he clicked on his Ki control, pressing the upgrade button.
Name: Vocada.
Race: Saiyan.
Age: 4 years old.
Power Level: 400
Stats:
Level: 6 [EXP 140/400]
Strength: 7
Speed: 6
Ki control: 1:1
Ability points: 1
Abilities: [Oozaru transformation] [Zenkai boost] [Intermediate Ki control]
Vocada felt a sudden boost of power flow into his body as his Ki control levelled up to the next rank, now listing it as Intermediate Ki control in his ability section.
"No way... I just got a 100-point boost to my power level..." Vocada said as he looked at the number before checking his scouter, seeing it was correct.
"That's so overpowered..." He then said, almost laughing.
Vocada stood back up, looking down at his feet before he closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, letting his Ki flow through his body and down and around his legs.
This time Vocada floated off the ground without issue, continuing to get higher and higher before opening his eyes and seeing that he was now 6 feet off the ground.
"I did it..." He said, looking down without feeling his energy spike or dip, maintaining a steady flow around his whole body as he flew out of the cave into the desert.
"WOOWWWHOOOHHHH!!!" Vocada yelled as he soared through the air, feeling the wind rush past him and through his hair.
"This is amazing!" He yelled, never having experienced anything like this before.
Vocada flipped around, doing a barrel roll and allowing himself to free fall through the air before catching himself with his own energy to fly around again as he headed back down toward the lagoon and landed on the ground.
"This body... This power. I feel as if I can do anything!" He shouted as he punched his fist into the air.
Vocada's smile soon faded however as he thought about what he would soon have to do.
"I guess now that I can fly, I should explore the rest of the planet and scope the place out..." He said to himself, clicking his scouter a few times to expand its search option, allowing it to scan for miles and miles as it detected power levels of all kinds.
"There they are..." Vocada said, seeing a power level of 200, 280, 320 and finally 450, being the strongest power levels on the whole planet.
"Even with my power boost, I'm still not strong enough to take them out," Vocada said, seeing that none of them were alone.
"And if I were a betting man, I would say they are all training together, getting ready for the next time we meet.
"Well, sitting around here isn't going to do me any good either. The only way for me to get stronger now is to fight." Vocada said as he packed his few belongings and floated into the air, taking one last look at what had been his home before he flew off into the sky, heading out to his next destination.
