Revolution of the Saiyans

Chapter Nine

The Saiyans of Earth did not have to wait long. They flew down below the Lookout, hoping to spare it of any damage. It was on the way down that they encountered the other Saiyans.

Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta and Trunks met face to face with Kelon, Domia, Perrin, Arello and Niekko.

"Looks like we've found our rogues." General Kelon said.

"We don't want any trouble." Goku said. "Leave this planet peacefully before any more innocent people get hurt."

Niekko laughed in his face. "Fool. We've got at least two more missiles ready to launch. This planet is already ours. We laid claim to it the minute we fired."

"Why would you want to destroy Earth?" Gohan shouted. "These people have done nothing to you!"

General Kelon stepped forward, not willing to let any more time pass. "I am General Kelon, Commander in Chief of His Lordship's Army, King Drais, ruler of the Saiyan race. We have been sent her to destroy our anti-loyalists and take control of this planet. It's that simple."

Vegeta stepped forward. "Boy, how dare you speak to me of a KING!" He shouted. "My father was the only rightful king of the Saiyan race! Therefore, I deserve respect from you, not destruction!"

Kelon was dumbfounded. "Excuse me?" He said. "Just who are you suggesting that you are?"

"I am Vegeta, son of Vegeta, from the planet Vegeseti." He replied.

"Impossible." Perrin said. "The Prince was killed by Frieza long ago!"

"Wait." Niekko said, stepping forward. "I was a soldier in King Vegeta's army….I knew him better than any of you. Prove to me that you are who you say."

"How do you suppose I do that?" Vegeta snarled angrily. "Give a DNA sample?"

"Answer me this." Niekko said. "There was never an official Queen to Vegeseti. But, the Prince obviously had a mother. What was her name? Her formal Saiyan name, not what the King called her."

Vegeta looked at the man in front of him. "My father always referred to her as Metia." Vegeta said. "But her true name was Metiada. Metiada Romia to be more specific. Her father was on the Council and said to be a most powerful asset in the army. She died shortly after my birth before my father could officially declare her his Queen."

Niekko was stunned. "He speaks the truth."

"WHAT?" General Kelon shouted. "You mean to tell me, this is Prince Vegeta?"

"Yes." Niekko answered. "I'm afraid it is."

Drais had been informed that the first few missiles had been fired upon a planet called Earth. Now, his finest soldiers were out fighting against the enemy. He couldn't sit still, wishing he had a way of knowing what was happening.

Standing at the front of the ship, Drais waited very impatiently for word of a successful mission.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Domia asked. "If the is the Prince, shouldn't we return him to his people?"

General Kelon did not know what to think. "If the Prince is alive, then King Drais should not be the rightful Kind……"

"Who is this Drais that you speak of?" Vegeta demanded. "How did he acquire the throne of my ancestors?"

Arello spoke first. "After the destruction of Vegeseti, only a handful of Saiyans managed to escape with their lives. Niekko and I were two of those Saiyans. Drais was smart and determined. Together with the dozen or so soldiers by his side, he came up with the plan to find a new home planet."

"Yes, we searched until Tragonis was found." Niekko said. "It was a planet, much like this. Very few inhabitants."

"What did you do with the people of that planet?" Goku asked.

"We kept what females we needed in order to procreate." Niekko said bluntly. "The ones with any scientific ability were kept as well. The rest were exterminated."

"You…killed them?" Goku asked.

"That was the only way." Arello said. "You must understand, this is the way of a Saiyan. You take what you want, no questions."

"The Saiyans of Earth do not live by your philosophy." Goku said. "We do not take what is not ours."

"Let him continue." Vegeta shouted.

"Being the planet was now reputable, we have continued with the usual way of making and establishing funds." Niekko said. "Our slave trade is known throughout the galaxy."

"Slaves?" Gohan asked. "You're kidding?"

"No." Vegeta said. "They are serious. It is how my father ran our planet as well. There are little means of support, other than the purging and selling of planet and the selling of slaves."

"It's sick." Gohan said.

"Sick or not, boy, that is our life!" Kelon shouted. "Now, what the hell are we supposed to do?"

"We must return our Prince, the rightful King, to his people." Niekko said. "There is no other answer."
