"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ahem, anyways..." King Vegeta cleared his throat as all three Saiyans stared at him after his outburst, "The Triangle of Evil has one ball. There are a few other places of lesser importance labeled on the map. That's the gist of it. Any questions?"

"Yeah, actually, I've been wanting to ask... I'm not doubting your decision or anything, Your Highness," Gray started, hoping not to piss off the Saiyan King with his question, "But why am I going on the mission?"

I'm not complaining about a chance to get to Earth, but this situation is weird. Even if I did defeat an A-Class recruit, I'm still just an F-Class. On top of that, Raditz was waiting for me right when I arrived back on Planet Vegeta, so Celia wouldn't have been able to tell the King anything unless she said something about me before we left.

King Vegeta groaned audibly, "Well, guess I'm just giving a whole mission briefing here now, huh? Wasting so much of my time! Fine!"

King Vegeta pointed his finger at Celia, who stood still and emotionless, as if the strongest Saiyan in the world wasn't pointing accusingly at her, "You're here because she chose you! This bastard child had every Saiyan recruit to choose from, and she chose a damn F-Class!"

Gray blinked, looking at Celila, "Huh?"

"Roughly a year ago, I awakened my ability..." Celia started to explain.

Ability? I don't remember Saiyans having special abilities, but Goku could also randomly talk telepathically and read memories, so what do I know?

"The only good thing about her." King Vegeta said with a huff as he sat down on the chairs surrounding the table. Gray noticed Celia's lip twitch slightly at his words, but she continued nonetheless.

"Right. This ability is the only reason I got any royal training, despite being a bastard. I lived in the slums before this showed up." Celia said, walking towards Raditz and creating a small circle with her thumb and index finger, then holding it up to her eye, "To dumb it down for you, my ability lets me see certain parts of a person. The only part you need to know about for this explanation is that I can see someone's full potential."

Gray blinked in surprise at her words, "Their full potential?"

What the hell does that mean? My maximum power level? Potential didn't really make sense in the show, considering that Grand Elder Guru unlocked Gohan's full potential on Namek, and then he still got a thousand times stronger two arcs later.

"Yes. Father gave me the task of finding promising recruits with a lot of potential. So, I infiltrated the recruitment process to get closer to the recruit with the most potential." Celia explained, not elaborating on what 'potential' really meant.

"Which, supposedly, is you." King Vegeta spoke up, looking at him doubtfully, "You did well on Planet Vargon, but I expected Celia to come back with an A or S-Class recruit. Maybe that rising star, Caulifa. Not an F-Class like you."

Did he just say Caulifa?

Gray had no time to think about if he'd misheard the Saiyan King or not, as he had a more important question to get out.

"So, you joined the F-Class group I was in because I have the highest potential of any of the recruits?" Gray asked.

Obviously, I do, but that's because of the game. Did the Gray whose body I took over really have the highest potential? He, or I guess me, wasn't even a canon character.
