Chương 82: Ch. 82: Vegeta Vs. Recoome
"Hey, Vegeta. Before I beat you within an inch of your life, I've decided to give you a chance. If you give up now, I'll only beat you up a little bit." Recoome taunted. Vegeta clicked his tongue. Recoome was an idiot, but he wasn't all talk. If he wasn't strong enough to back up talk like that, Vegeta wouldn't have even bothered to follow him to an area where the two of them could fight mano a mano. He would have simply destroyed the guy right there and then.
"I don't bow to dogs anymore, Recoome." He told the idiot. Vegeta had no clue whether he could beat Recoome by himself or not, honestly. He'd once heard that the Ginyu Force had an average battle power of around 50,000, but he didn't totally believe it, with Guldo being so weak.
Vegeta's head was telling him to buy time until the others managed to defeat the rest of the Force, then fight Recoome with backup, but his pride wasn't hearing it. That was why he'd told the girl to help her friends instead of fighting alongside him. He suspected that the fight against Guldo would end rather quickly, with how weak the psychic toad was.
"You know, Vegeta. That arrogance really will get you killed one of these days. You should learn to speak more politely to your betters." Recoome warned him.
"I'll keep that in mind if I ever meet them. I don't see much point being polite to a moron who's going to die soon." Vegeta told Recoome.
"I am! A proud! member of the! Ginyu Force! I am Recoome!" Recoome punctuated each fragmented sentence with a different pose, before finally ending his I am Recoome statement from a pose with one leg in the air, and the majority of his body parallel with the ground. It looked vaguely reminiscent of a ballerina's pose, but a lot dumber.
Vegeta inwardly facepalmed, but he kept his guard up anyway, thinking 'I can't believe that this idiot is powerful enough to put up a decent fight against the likes of me.'
"I'm a fighter, not a dancer, but even I can tell that you look like an idiot. I'd rather be beaten to a pulp then spend another second watching you prance around like that." Vegeta said aloud, causing Recoome to pout.
"Have it your way, Vegeta. Don't say that I didn't warn you. I think I'll take my time, now. You can even have the first punch." Recoome said, annoyed by Vegeta's attitude. He tapped his cheek, "Hit me right here, if you can. I bet I won't even feel it."
Vegeta smirked. 'Perfect.' He thought, "Have it your way! HAAAAAA!!!" Vegeta shouted, powering up to his full power. He could vaguely sense the others doing the same thing in their respective battlefields, but he blocked that from his mind for now. He didn't need to concern himself with anything but the enemy in front of him right now.
"Whoa!" Recoome faltered a bit in surprise. Vegeta's power reading had just skyrocketed from 30,000 almost exactly to just above 35,000. A power level of five thousand was an incredible jump, and it proved that Vegeta was capable of hiding his power. "You've learned a few tricks, Vegeta. Five thousand isn't exactly a game-changing amount of strength, though." Recoome acknowledged.
"Tch!" Vegeta had wanted to hold more power than that back, but speed had taken precedence. He did gain one thing from the exchange, though. He'd figured out that Recoome's battle power was definitely higher than 35,000. Vegeta wouldn't be able to bulldoze his way through this fight like he had Zarbon and Dodoria. He'd need to be cautious.
But that didn't matter right now.
"Ha!!" In a near-instantaneous burst of speed, Vegeta accelerated as quickly as he possibly could in order to hit Recoome with as much force as possible. Taking advantage of how Recoome was dumb enough to leave his scouter on his face while giving Vegeta the first shot, Vegeta made sure that his kick smashed the tech between his foot and Recoome's face, causing the tank-like Ginyu Force member to let out a satisfying "Guh!" as Vegeta's foot dug into his face.
But Vegeta's attack wasn't done there. As Recoome's body went flying, the Saiyan flew after him, delivering a powerful two-handed blow to his midsection, burying the man into the ground. Then, Vegeta flew high up into the air and stomped on the red-haired menace for good measure, before turning around and firing an energy blast so powerful that it blew Vegeta himself back a few feet right into Recoome's face from point blank range. Vegeta used the moment that he was flying freely through the air to gather even more energy in both of his hands. The moment that his feet hit the ground...
"SEE YOU IN HELL, RECOOME!! RAAGH!" Vegeta's energy wave cut into the ground where Recoome was, carving a huge swath of destruction through the Namekian landscape and parting the very ocean all the way down to the rocky floor once it broke past the island that Vegeta was standing on.
Luckily for Namek, Vegeta wasn't suicidal. After carving a new trench into the Namekian landscape, the energy wave eventually broke away from the planet and disappeared into the horizon, but the amount of energy inside of it still could very easily have cut the planet down to its core if Vegeta had aimed just a little lower.
"Haah. Haah. Is that enough?" Vegeta panted. He'd put as much power as he'd been able to muster in that split second into that blast, and it was far stronger than the blast from Goku that had once very nearly forced Vegeta to resign himself to death. He knew that Recoome was strong. Terrifyingly strong, but not even he could survive a blast of that magnitude, he hoped.
Steeling himself, Vegeta extended his energy-sense into the water-filled cavity that Recoome had just been in.
"Phoo Phoo!" Recoome spat, emerging from the water. "Man, Vegeta! That water tastes nasty!" The red-headed tank of death told his enemy, grinning.

Aeon0 Feels like the debut of the Final Flash, but he hasn't named it yet. Chronologically, this is happening while Hanna's playing tag with Guldo, but she wasn't exactly focused on other fights while dealing with that bug, so the huge, almost planet-destroying energy blast wasn't mentioned in the prior chapter.
