SAYJIN ROYAL SPACESHIP S.S. VEGETA
It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, sooner or later you will meet death. But when death met my race it looked like death found a partner for life, or so it seem. Sayjins!!! Just the name along can cause races across the galaxy to shiver with jealously, hatred and fear. They were jealous for not having our powers, after all there are hardly any other races out there that can transform into a giant monstrous ape at the sight of a full moon, or have the ability to become stronger after every battle. They hated us for what we've done and feared what we will do. Known to be one of the most powerful races in existence, and it's been that way for hundreds of years. But I guess somewhere down the line we even made death itself jealous, for it finally found someone that even we have not been able to destroy even after all these years.
Frieza!!! If there ever was a devil then Frieza is definitely one of his descendents. No one knows where he came from, but he came with more death and destruction than anyone on this side of the galaxy had ever seen. I shall never understand what made my grandfather sign that unholy treaty with him making us nothing more but tools to be use however he saw fit. We should have gone down fighting, not dying off slowly as we were now. Yes, the sayjins were dying off. It's been 22 years since he destroyed our home planet leaving those who survived the attack homeless.
One could say that we were lucky Bardock had been able to warn my father after receiving a very useful talent. The fact that he got my father to believe him was a feat in itself, but I doubt if Bardock would want to do it again. But it was the only way he could get my father to see just how powerful Frieza really was and that his current power level would not be enough to defeat him. It was then that my father changed his plans deciding to rescue me and retrieving Bardock (after all his new talent would be very useful in the future) as well as alerting as many sayjins as possible to leave the planet. Only 500,000 made it off before the planet was destroyed. Since that time, Frieza as well as many other races have hunted us down trying to finish us off. With nowhere to run the darkness of space became our only ally. To think the mighty sayjins had been force to become space scavengers. As of now there are about 200,000 or so of us left living in several main spaceships in different parts of the galaxy, fighting a losing battle in trying to defeat Frieza. The way things are going now chances are that there will soon be a mutiny to over throw my father, if not then most likely my son (if I ever have one) shall be the last sayjin king. Even if that is our fate, we won't go down alone. I, Prince Vegeta shall become the legendary and not only destroy Freiza but every one of his kind!!!!!!!!!

EARTH
It hard to believe that my planet is dying after everything it's been through. But that's the truth. How I hate Frieza!!! None of this would be happening if he never came along. Life before then was great. I was having the time of my life with Yamcha. I had met him and Krillen when I first starting looking for the Dragonballs, something that would forever change my life. I can't count how many time the two of them save my life on that adventure. Both had been trained by the great Master Roshi. It was the two of them who would later destroy the Red Ribbon Army.
Of course we had several others adventures in which we met more interesting people. Like Chichi, another one of Master Roshi students, I'll never forget the day I met Chichi and her father the Ox King. By her own accord she was already stronger than most women, but after seeing Yamcha and Krillen display of power and finding out that they had been train by her father master, she decided to join our group in hopes to becoming stronger (with her father blessing). Of course, she had to be careful around Master Roshi when she got older seeing as that he was a pervert.
It wasn't until a few years later that we met Tien and Chiaoztu. At first they were Yamcha, Chichi, and Krillen rivals but after fighting Jackie Chan at the WMAT the two had a change of heart and decided become Master Roshi students as well, which was a good thing because it was then that we met King Piccolo. Had it not been for Tien, there's no telling what would have happen. And just when things were about to settle down Tien and the others met Kami the Guardian of Earth, who told them that King Piccolo essence lives on and that they have to beat him at the next WMAT in three years.
Which brings us to Piccolo, King Piccolo son; however I still can't tell if he's on our side or not, but he haven't tried to kill me yet. Every since his defeat at the hands of Tien, Yamcha, Chich, and Krillen, he's been threaten revenge. But he's never gotten the chance as Frieza men arrive a few years later to purge this planet. My friends fought bravery but were no match for Frieza men and soon killed, only Piccolo survived. In a last ditch effort to save earth I a made a wish on the dragonballs. To put it simply should earth and all living beings living peaceful on it are attack by something they cannot defeat the earth will move to another part of the universe while those attacking will be left behind in space. I must say it sure wasn't the best way to find out that we were not alone in the universe. Frieza's attack changed nearly everything we knew. Immediately after the attack, my father's began making weapons to help earth protect itself, while I talk Master Roshi into training more students (as well as myself) so that Earth would be more prepared in the future. We also began communicating with other races as well. It was from them that we learn who attack us and why. Earth soon became home to many homeless races that had lost their planet because of Frieza. Because of my father's hand in helping keeping the people calm and restoring earth, it came to no surprise to me that he were made King of Earth a few years later.
Meanwhile I had learn from Kami, that the others could be brought back when the dragonballs revived, in the mean time, they were currently getting special training from someone known as King Kai. Even Piccolo was training in the Time Chamber. Those 12 months were the scariest of our life for Frieza was not one to give up especially having heard about what our planet could do. Throughout that year Frieza found us and attack us five more times, but failed each time. I was glad when Yamcha and the others were wish back, and it was clear that they had improved greatly the next time Frieza and his men attack. They were also shock at what I had learned as well, and Chichi soon agreed to continue to train me.
It seemed that all was going well, but moving the earth had an unexpected side effect. Mainly being the huge climate change. Earth had lost thousands of plants and animal because of the climate change. The landscape change as well seeing now that we had two moons. What made things worst was that the Dragon could do nothing to help us because it was of natural causes. This didn't sit well with many people who now begin hating us for moving the planet. However, we were able to learn from our alien friends that that there were many planets that had plants as well as animals that could grow in any type of weather, and some of those might be able to preserve our plants and animals by cross breeding (providing of course that those planets hadn't been purge). However, they were unwilling to leave the safety of Earth to take us there but would give us the location of the planets, though we couldn't blame them, seeing as our planet was the first and only planet to have ever survived Frieza attack.
With my father, running earth there was no way he could leave things to explore these new planets, but as for me, it looked like there was a new adventure coming my way. It took a while but I finally got my father to agree on letting me lead the expedition to save Earth. I quickly got the five people I trusted the most (and Piccolo) and set out on a quest to hopefully find these planets and save earth. My father had wanted me to take more men but I decided against it knowing that the smaller the crew was, the less chance we had of being caught. I just hope everything turns out okay.
“Are you sure we won't need more men Bulma?” ask Chichi as they entered aboard their spaceship.
”I'm positive Chichi, having more men will only slow us down, especially if we run into trouble, besides didn't you see them, they look ready to piss their pants. Not to mention that none them could fly worth shit.”
”I'm positive Chichi, having more men will only slow us down, especially if we run into trouble, besides didn't you see them, they look ready to piss their pants. Not to mention that none them could fly worth shit.”
“I guess you're right Bulma.”
“Trust me Chichi I 100% sure I'm right. Alright everyone, let's go.” Stated Bulma as everyone buckled up. Five minutes later the ship was in orbit heading for the first planet on their list.

FRIEZA SHIP
“This have better be good Zarbon, I've had enough of your failures.” Stated Frieza as Zarbon entered the room.
“I assure you Lord Frieza this is good news indeed.”
“Well don't just stand there idiot, tell me what it is!” demanded Frieza.
“Yes Lord Frieza, word from our spy is that the King of Earth daughter has headed out into space to save her planet.”
“Their planet is dying?” ask Frieza intrigued.
“Yes, it seems that moving their planet has had an unseen side affect.”
“Looks like I've beaten them after all.” Smirked Frieza.
“Not yet Lord Frieza, our sources tell me that if she succeeds in her mission, she could very well save her planet.” Said Zarbon.
“Damn earthlings they never quit do they, they're beginning to be another thorn in my side.” Cursed Frieza. [Damn those monkeys and what's worst is that these earthlings look just like them.] Thought Frieza.
“Zarbon put a bounty on the King of Earth daughter head, and inform all my men to be on the look out for her, I want her alive.” Smirked Frieza.
“Alive sir?” ask Zarbon
“Yes alive, what better way to get the King of Earth to follow my command than by using his daughter to get what I want?” Laughed Frieza, knowing better to question Frieza plan Zarbon quickly agreed and after bowing to his Lord headed out to carry out his orders.
[Soon Earth and all it technology shall be mines to control. And I'll personally teach the King of Earth to never defy me again. No one defies Frieza] Thought Frieza
SIX MONTHS LATER (EARTH HEADQUARTERS)
“Bulma to Earth, Bulma to Earth, do you read me?!!” cried Bulma as their ship was hit by another blast from an unknown ship.
“I don't know if you guys will get this but we're being attack by several unknown spaceships in the western part of the galaxy. We've tried to out run them but we couldn't escape, as of now they have boarded our ship and the others are trying desperately to hold them off but there are to many of them, things doesn't look to good for us right now. I am sending you a symbol from their ships, maybe one of our alien friends might know who they are and can help you find us. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you dad, but this was my choice and I must faced the consequences. Don't blame yourself for this. And what ever you do not use the DB to get me home, you may need it later. Bulma out.
The message had been sent to Earth and as soon as Dr. Briefs found out he quickly decided to use the Dragonballs going against his daughters wishes. But it was he who was surprised when the Dragon didn't grant his wish stating that his daughter and her friends would not use up their wish to be sent home. Now the King of Earth was in the Communication Room trying to figure something else out.
“How long ago was this messaged sent?” Ask Dr. Briefs hoarsely.
“From what we can gather it was sent two days ago and we received it yesterday.” Answered Jin, Capsule Corp. Communication Chief, and Security Expert. Since Tien absence, it was now his duty to make sure that the others continued their training seeing as he was one of the few that Master Roshi first started training after Frieza first attack.
“Then why didn't you inform me yesterday of this. I could have had a team ready to go after them.”
“Dr. Briefs calm down, besides it wouldn't have done you any good. Those men have just mastered how to effectively shoot ki blasts while the ones who went with your daughter has been doing it for years and they were no match for whatever attack their ship. Besides, we don't know who's taken her. All we have is that symbol she sent us.
[That symbol of course.]
“Jin, I want you to get a team ready. I don't care if they have just learn how to shoot ki.”
“…….As you wish Dr. Brief, but where are you going.”
“To see if any of our `friends' can tell us anything about this symbol, and if they will be willing to help us.” Stated Dr. Briefs as he headed out the door.
In no time, he arrives at the alien shelter where earth had been housing those who wanted to stay on earth. At the moment they were only housing a few thousand aliens mainly consisting of several main races. So far the people of earth had not come to accept aliens so as to keep both sides happy about the situation he had decided to keep the two apart, for now. He quickly gathered the leaders of each race and took them to the conference room.
Note: Basically,there are 30 aliens'races currently living on Earth, most of which will not be mention but I will give you an idea of how some look as the story goes along.
“I've gathered you all here for a very important reason. Yesterday my Chief of Communication receives word that my daughter ship was attack.” Started Dr. Briefs.
The leaders all looked shock to hear this, especially after this long. Actually they had expected to hear something like this a few weeks after Bulma took off in space but after three months had went by they had actually begin to hope that she would complete her mission. But now, it seemed that it was not to be.
“We are sorry to hear this Dr. Briefs. Is she okay?” ask Telks (a very tall, thin, orange creature with no hair and very small ears). Out of all the aliens there, his kind was one of the nicest and friendly ones they had. They also had great intelligence and the others usually went along with his decision.
“…..I don't know. But I do know that whoever attacked her boarded the ship, which most likely indicates that they would be taking supplies and hostages. Which is why I need your help, you see I'm getting a team together to-
“I'm sorry Dr. Briefs, but if you're asking us to go out into space, then the answer is no. Some of us are very wanted men out there, especially by Frieza; most of us are the only chance our race has for survival.”
“You're forgetting that if my daughter fail then this planet will die as well, meaning you will have to leave this planet.” Stated Dr. Briefs.
“We are aware of that, and should the time come we will deal with it then, unless you're planning on taking back your promise.” Stated Telks wanting to know where he stood with the Dr. Briefs.
“No, a promise is a promise and I will not break a promise, but what if I told you I could replace your planet. Would you be willing to help me then?”
“How, and if you can do this, then why didn't you tell us before?!” ask one of the alien angrily.
“…..It's the same technology that I used to move this planet when under attack, and the reason I didn't tell you before is it was on a need to know basis, however, I need your help to get my daughter back.” Stated Dr. Briefs
The aliens quickly talk among themselves using the Universal Language that Frieza had made each race learn; even Dr. Briefs was using it as well.
“What do we have to do?” ask Telks finally
“You can first start by telling me all that you know about this symbol.” Said Dr. Briefs as he handed out copies of the symbol that Bulma sent them.
But looking at the pale look on the aliens faces Dr. Briefs new that this wasn't good.
“This symbol belongs to the Cytrons, I'm sorry Dr. Briefs, but we cannot help you.”
“What? WHY?!”
“……The Cytrons……are a very power race, and have a treaty with Frieza; to go up against them would mean death for many of our kind that's not here on the planets. Also, it is too far a way, even with the fastest ship available here it would take us at least a month to get to that location and by then your daughter would be either dead or handed over to Frieza. The last reason is that it is nearly impossible to break through Cytrons defense. And with Frieza backing them up, I highly doubt if anyone would dare attack them.” Said Telks sadly.
“…..COME ON, THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT WILLING TO HELP ME?!” Shouted Dr. Briefs losing hope.
“…………………… 8230;actually sir I do know a group that might help you, but I must warn you they are highly dangerous and can be just as deadly as Frieza.” Said one of the small aliens in the back.
“I don't care, if they can get my daughter back…..then that all that matters. Who are they?” Said Dr. Briefs.
“The Sayjins.”
“WHAT NO, HOW DARE YOU SAY THEM, THEY DESTROYED MY PLANET!!!” Spoke up Bojo from one of the other races. (Bojo race are very short, about 3.5 feet tall, round and have one eye, brown skin.
“True, but they did that while working under Frieza, we all know they've wanted revenge since Frieza destroyed their planet. They would jump at a chance to get one over on Frieza.” Said one of the others.
“The Sayjins were conquering planets long before Frieza came along. And now you want to hand his daughter over to them. He can't trust them, what if they try to use his daughter as well” Countered Bojo
“They won't if the Doctor makes a deal with them, and it'll have to be a very good one to get them to cooperate. But none of this is our choice to decide, this is all up to Dr. Briefs.” Stated Telks finally.
“…………………… 8230;………..Do anyone knows how I can contact them?”
“I know of a way, just take me to the Control Room.” Stated Telks.
“Follow me, and thank you for your help.” Said Dr. Briefs to the others as he and Telks walked out of the room.
“Are you sure you want to do this. I mean the sayjins; they're not someone you can really trust.”
“I know, but right now they're only chance I've got at getting my daughter back, and I'll never forgive myself if I lose her.” Stated Dr. Briefs quietly.
“It's strange that the Cytrons decided to take hostages.” Said Telks.
“What do you mean?” ask Dr. Briefs.
“Cytrons aren't known for raiding ships, usually any ship that ran into a Cytron ship ended up either destroying the Cytron ship, or being destroyed themselves.” Said Telks looking at Dr. Briefs seriously.
“What are you saying, that's there's a spy here?”
“……I hope not but the way this happen, I can't help but wonder that someone is a spy.” Said Telks finally.
[Danmit, why didn't I think of that sooner, of course one of them is a spy but who, who had something to gain from my loss, it isn't Telks; nearly all of his kind were destroyed, he had nothing to gain, and he's helping me find the sayjins who from what I know is just as bad as Frieza. So then it one of the others, for their sake they had better hope I never find out who it was that betrayed me.] thought Dr. Briefs darkly and also begin to think of a way to flush out the spy. But he push that thought aside as they made it to the control, after Telks gave him the frequency the Sayjins used, Dr. Briefs quickly sent a cloaked message to them.
“ How long do you think it will take for them to receive the message.”
“That the depends on how close one of their spacecraft is to your planet. Once it gets there it can quickly be sent to their king who will make the final decision whether or not to help you.”
“That fast huh?”
“One of the first things the Sayjins did when they began conquering planets was to gain the best technology available. It was one of the reasons they were able to hide from Frieza after he destroyed their planet, and how they've been able to survive this long. But don't count on their intelligence, most sayjins are dumb plain and simple. It is their brute strength that makes them so dangerous. This is why it may prove difficult to get their help.”
“How's that?” ask Dr. Brief
“The Sayjins value strength more than anything. It was why they followed Frieza.
“What about their king?” ask Dr. Brief
“The Sayjin King is very tricky, and always up to something, however the one you should really worry about is his son, Prince Vegeta. He is not one to mess around with, and is very easy to anger. He's also very clever, and is considered to be the strongest among their kind.”
“I see anything else I need to know.”
“That's all I know.”
“Dr. Briefs the message has been sent.” Said the technician.
“Well I should be heading back now.” Said Telks.
“Thank you Telks.” Said Dr. Briefs making his self comfortable.
THREE HOURS LATER
S.S. VEGETA
“What do you want Lechuga?” ask King Vegeta entering the control room.
“Sir we have an incoming message being sent from one of our ship in the northern quadrant. Apparently it's from Earth.”
“Earth you say?” ask King Vegeta interested. After all nearly every planet that had evolved into space travel knew of Earth, the only planet to have ever survive Frieza attacks for so long.
“Yes Earth, from what we can tell it seems urgent.”
“How in the hell was they able to contact us?” Ask King Vegeta.
“…We don't know sir. Do you want us to delete the message.”
“No. Lets hear what he has to say. Contact my son, Bardock, and Squash and have them meet us in the Control Room.” Stated King Vegeta.
“Yes Sir.”
+++++
Where the hell is that boy, ah forget it I'm tired of waiting! Thought King Vegeta.
“Well don't just sit there bring up the message!” yelled King Vegeta deciding to hear the message rather than wait for his son.
“Yes Sir.” Answered Lechuga nervously.
[Sayjins, this is Lord Briefs, King of Earth, I'm sending this because something urgent has happen and I need your help, I promise you the reward will be worth it. If you are interested, please contact me and I'll give you the details.]
“Well what you two think, should we contact them?” Ask King Vegeta to his two advisors.
“Whatever it is it can't be that important otherwise he would have flat out told us.” Commented Squash
“Not if he thought that someone was trying to listen in on the conversation.” Said Bardock.
“Who are you kidding, we're talking about Earth, surely their technology would allow them to safely contact us.” Said Squash
“We don't know that.” announced Bardock.
“Enough both of you, Lechuga contact Earth, lets hear what the King has to say.
++++++++
“Sir we've an incoming call. I think it's the Sayjins.” Announce Jin as he entered the room.
“That sure didn't take long as I thought it would.”
“It seems that Telks was right about their technology.”
“Yes he was.” Said Dr. Briefs as the two of them entered the Communication Room.
“King Vegeta I presumed.” Ask Dr. Briefs.
“Yes and you are King Briefs, no doubt” Answered King Vegeta.
“Thank you for-
“You can skip the formalities and get on to the point I don't have all day.” Said King Vegeta.
{It seems Telks wasn't lying about their attitude either.} thought Dr. Briefs.
“Yes, well to put it frankly our planet is dying. In a last ditch effort to save our planet I sent my daughter to get samples of other plants and animals that could be cross bred with ours to save our planet. However I have received word that she has been captured and I have no way of rescuing her in time.”
“And just how does this help us?” ask King Vegeta.
“Well my daughter was captured by the Cytrons, I was hoping to make a deal with you in order to save my daughter.” Announced Dr. Briefs.
“What kind of a deal?” ask King Vegeta.
“I want you to rescue my daughter and return her safety back to earth, in return I will restore your home planet.”
“YOU LIE THERE'S NO WAY POSSIBLE YOU COULD DO THAT! King Vegeta do not listen to him, he's trying to get us killed!” shouted Squash
“I'm not trying to get you kill, what I'm doing is offering you a trade.”
“I'll need a moment to think this over.” Said King Vegeta as he cut their conversation off.
“Sire you can't possible be thinking about this, it's pure suicide.” Started Squash once again.
“I've heard enough from you, you've made your point. What do you think Bardock, do you think Dr. Briefs has the resources to do what he claims.”
“I don't know sir, perhaps if they could show us that they are capable of what they claim.”
“And if they are?”
“Then I believe it would be wise to accept their offer.”
“Of course you would, you dumb ass.” Announced Squash.
“If you don't shut up, this dumb ass will do it for you. Sire if they can do what they claim then our planet could be restored putting you on good terms with our people once more. ” said Bardock.
“Or it can cause Frieza wraith to come to us ten fold. Cryton is one of Frieza most powerful ally, attacking them would only cause Frieza to come after us again.
“Since when has Frieza stop attacking us, he won't stop until every last one of us are destroyed.” Growled Bardock
“Which is why we shouldn't help King Briefs; so what if he can bring our planet back it won't do any good seeing as we are still too weak to defeat-.”
Squash ranting was cut off as King Vegeta knocked him to the ground. Reminding the King of his failures was something you did not want to do.
“Get out of my sight.” Growled King Vegeta. Squash immediately left the Control Room.
“………Lechuga patched me back through to Earth.” Said King Vegeta as he calmed down.
“Yes sir.” Said Lechuga as Dr. Briefs came across the screen once again.
“Have you decided King Vegeta.”
“Not quite, how do we know you're not lying. If you can do what you claim then I want a demonstration.”
“How so.” Ask Dr. Briefs nervously.
“Well we're not to far from here there was a star, Kokijie was the name, would your technology be able to restore it. If so then I would like to see it done, otherwise we don't have a deal.”
“Yes but be fore-warn if I do this my machine will need exactly one year to fully recharge before I can use it again…..it takes a lot of power to do something like this.”
{I didn't think they would ask for proof, this changes things, however I have to save Bulma; I guess they're smarter than they look.} thought Dr. Briefs.
{That shouldn't be a problem, in a year's time my son should finally be strong enough to destroy Frieza.} thought King Vegeta.
“I understand.” Said King Vegeta.
“Very well, give us a few minutes.” Said Dr. Briefs as he left the room and pulls out his cell.
”Are you there Yajirobe.” Ask Dr. Briefs.
”Are you there Yajirobe.” Ask Dr. Briefs.
“I'm here.”
“Good I need you to call up the Dragon and make a wish for me.”
“Okay.” Answered Yajirobe.
+++++++++
“I don't believe it.” Said King Vegeta as he and the others sayjins look at the once destroyed star.
“How long before Corn and his men get to the star.” Ask Bardock.
“They should get there any minute now.” Announced Lettuce
“Come in S.S. Vegeta this is Corn.”
“We read you Corn, is the star real.”
“…….Yes sir, very real.”
“Alright return to base.”
“Well do we have a deal King Vegeta.” Ask Dr. Briefs.
“We have a deal, we will contact you as soon as we've retrieve your daughter.” Said King Vegeta as he cut communication with the King of Earth
“This isn't going to be easy Cytron planet defenses are nearly impossible to break through.” Stated Bardock.
The king was about to comment when Prince Vegeta finally walk in.
“This has better be good.” Growled Prince Vegeta.
++++++++++++++
That's it for the Prologue
Note: Even though King Kai has trained the Z Fighters, Vegeta and Kakarott are still stronger than them. Don't forget that Vegeta could still beat the Z Fighters when he and the namecks was wish back to Earth in the Frieza Saga. Please Review, and DB stood for Dragaonballs for those who were wondering.
