Flashback : Siblings Clash! [Finished]

[seori]

Today was the day. Today, Seori would be saying goodbye to his brother for quite a while. Interplanetary travel didn't seem that appealing to Seori but his older brother seemed to love idea more than anything else right now. His brother would get stronger with all the strong fighters he would meet, so maybe when he returned, Seori would get stronger by battling him. Well. That would be if he came back. Seori wondered to himself, 'What if he leaves and decides that traveling is a much better use of his time than what is here on Planet Vegeta for him? What if he goes to a planet and decides to live there forever!? What if-' Seori's track of thought vanished as his brother's space pod shot off into the dark abyss of space. It seemed like just yesterday he was training with his brother...

A young Seori's head hung low with disappointment. It was rather sad, especially when the disappointment was towards himself. Today was the day he sparred with some kids about his age and was shamefully defeated. He had left in such a rush so that the other kids wouldn't be able to make fun of his pitiful power level. Days like today weren't infrequent though. He once had an even worse experience where he had trouble beating one Saibaman for training and the Saibaman was the weakest one they'd yet seen grown on their planet. Seori could feel the salty water they called tears well up in his eyes but he ignored them. He would never be strong like his parents.

"Hey. Kid. What's wrong with you?"

"Wh-who are you calling kid!?"

Seori lifted his head up quickly, only to see his older brother standing in front of him with a smirk on his face. Seori wiped his tears with his wrist and tried to look less pathetic. He knew his brother well enough to know that he knew the reason why Seori was sulking.

"Stop crying. It won't help you. You know that right?"

Seori began to grit his teeth. He snapped back, "Shut your mouth! I know that! There's nothing I can do, though! If there was I would be doing it right now!" Seori would have continued but his brother then replied, "Well then. You're not as smart as I thought you were. There's something you can do. You can train with me. Like it or not it's the only answer to your problem. I can't let you go around making out family look bad to get ready to train."

Seori couldn't believe what he was hearing. His brother had actually said something nice. What was going on?! It couldn't be his real brother could it!? Seori straightened his posture and said to his brother, "Well. What're we waiting for?! Let's go!" Seori raised his fist. His brother laughed and rose up into the sky using his ki. Seori chased after him, but he wasn't as fast. Seori managed to keep up with his brother until they were in a quiet, secluded area. Seori could see what his brother was doing now.

Seori's brother shot forward throwing a punch at him but the young Saiyan managed to dodge it and threw a punch of his own at the older Saiyan. His brother caught his punch and threw his own right into Seori's gut. Seori gagged and tried to stay calm. He threw some ki blasts at his brother which were deflected easily. Seori then shot forward in an attempt to deliver a kick to his brother's side and then an additional punch or two if he could but his plans were delayed when his brother caught his leg. Seori, panicking, tried to throw a ki blast at his brother but he was too slow. The young Saiyan was thrown back to the ground by his older brother after being swung around in the air like a rag-doll.

Seori crashed into the ground. He could hardly stand afterward. He tried regaining his focus but then noticed his brother above him. His brother was surrounded by ki and was charging up his famous Red Meteor attack. When his brother released it, Seori panicked. Why would his brother use that!? Seori would be seriously injured if he didn't do something quick. Seori began to charge up his ki as the large red orb made its way toward the boy. Seori began mimicking his brother's technique but instead it turned out green instead of red. It was nowhere near the size of his older brother's but it would buy Seori enough time to distance himself from the blast. The two orbs of ki clashed and in a blinding flash they exploded on contact. Seori was thrown back onto his back while his brother was still floating in the air. He brother began to laugh. Seori never realized he was capable of an attack like that...

"Good job, kid! Mom and dad are going to be proud when I tell em' about this!"

The saiyan child smiled up at his older brother. If anyone else he knew had seen this little battle, they really wouldn't have believed that Seori could be capable of such an attack. Seori knew that this was only the beginning. It wouldn't take too long for him to match his brother's strength. Seori somehow knew that he and his brother would be sparring much more frequently.

Seori snapped back into the present when he realized how long he'd been standing there reminiscing. There were a few people staring at him. Probably because of the goofy smile on his face. Seori's face reddened in embarrassment and he walked away, trying to make it seem like he had a reason to be standing there for so long.
