Saiyan Obligation

Chapter One

Claiming

"CONGRATULATIONS, Prince Vegeta!"

"Thank you." Vegeta smirked.

If it was anyone but Zoron, offering Vegeta congratulations, he would have cynically believed the sentiment to be false.

However, Vegeta not only heard the sincerity in the elder Acrosian's voice, but Vegeta knew Zoron ever since he was a child.

Zoron was hired by Vegeta's father, the late King of Planet Vegeta, as his personal advisor.

Zoron was not as strong as the Saiyan race, but he was of the highest intelligence. He was a man of vast planetary and technological knowledge, intellectual skills and political ingenuity. Not to mention the man had an uncanny ability to sense when someone was lying. These same qualities were what had let Zoron live after Frieza had purged Planet Vegeta of almost every single Saiyan. Frieza had kept Zoron alive so he could use the man for his own benefit.

However Zoron had only humored Frieza so he could watch over Vegeta, who he felt some sort of faithful obligation towards.

Vegeta and three other Saiyans were the only Saiyans to survive Frieza's wrath, simply because of their ages and Vegeta's royal blood line.

Frieza, the ugly Lizard King, used immense power to destroy races in his goal to take over the universe. The Lizard was a powerful force, but it was not only him that sparked fear in people.

Frieza had a large number of powerful warriors who he used to do his dirty work for him. These men were like the plague. Once they set foot upon the planet, there was no hope for its people. Vegeta flinched, as he was one of those men, a slave of Frieza's for ten long years.

But Vegeta had had no choice in the matter. Frieza kept Nappa, Radditz, Broly and Vegeta alive to work in his army, as the Saiyans were a powerful warrior race. Only Frieza was not only physically powerful, he was mentally strategic as well.

The Lizard knew that he could not allow the entire Saiyan race to live, for if the Saiyan race increased in number, over the years the powerful race could defeat Frieza and his worthless army.

But Frieza was also tempted by having such a power in his army. So he had kept the four young Saiyans alive. Raising them in the most degrading of circumstances to slave the four remaining Saiyans as his own.

Fortunately for Vegeta, he was one of them, or unfortunately. Fortunately he had lived but unfortunately the life was, at almost every second, not worth living.

But luckily Vegeta had had Zoron. Although the two had kept there relationship a secret for they knew Frieza would kill them both if he found out they were plotting his downfall. The man had tried to shield Vegeta from as much of the horrors as he could, but living under Frieza that was impossible.

Vegeta had become the man he was today. A cold man, heartless and devoid of all emotions after the horrors he had witnessed all his life. Watching his family and entire race dwindle at the hands of Frieza.

Watching Nappa and Broly beaten to death by Frieza, just because they had failed a mission, leaving Vegeta powerless to help them. Cowardly just standing there, afraid of receiving the same punishment.

Vegeta had ironically found solace in going on Frieza's missions, in purging other planets. He found power in being able to take lives in being able to strike fear in others, because it was the only time he did not have to feel like an inferior worm beneath Frieza's feet.

However with the help of Zoron, Vegeta began to channel his raging emotions to work towards defeating Frieza, avenging his people and ruling his planet as he was born to do.

The Saiyan prince smirked. 'You left something, one thing, for me to make defeating you worth while Frieza.'

The beautiful Planet Vegeta was used as Frieza's headquarters, for its natural resources and positioning in its solar system. The planet was situated in the middle of the Universe making it an ideal place for Frieza.

Vegeta had trained for years, in the hope of becoming strong enough to defeat Frieza. That time had finally come a week ago. Only, Vegeta was just a breath more powerful than Frieza. So he had to wait for the perfect moment to strike or he would have failed to defeat the Lizard.

So it was on this day, when the planet Earth had surprisingly defeated an entire section of Frieza's army that the Lizard had had no choice but to send his two most trusted accomplices to purge the Earth's inhabitants - Dodoria and Zarbon.

Vegeta was just grateful that he had been away on a mission when Frieza learned that his men would not be returning from Earth - well not alive anyway.

Receiving this information from Zoron, Vegeta had left his mission immediately to return to his home planet.

Knowing that he could defeat Dodoria and Zarbon, Vegeta also knew that the two idiots would be an opposing challenge that would result in Vegeta loosing some significant energy. The loss of energy would then give Frieza the upper hand.

Vegeta smiled as he thought back to the demise of Frieza.

"What do you want?" Frieza had growled as he sat on his chair that floated lazily in the air, a scouter on his ear, as he anxiously awaited word from his two most trusted soldiers.

Using the Lizards lack of defense to his advantage, Vegeta charged Frieza would full speed, knocking the Lizard of the throne and into a wall.

However Frieza was not that easily weakened and after a few minutes the Lizard got back up onto his feet. A battle of extreme challenge, for both warriors, had broke!

"I always knew you monkeys could not be trusted. Though it was my mistake allowing you to live! I should have sent you into the next dimension with the other fur balls when I had the chance." Frieza smirked as he wiped the trail of purple blood that ran down the side of his mouth, thanks to Vegeta's fists. "No matter, I will rectify my mistake now." Frieza laughed.

After what seemed like days, much punching, kicking and firing of energy blasts, Vegeta managed to claim victory.

As the Lizard, lay unmoving on the floor, pretending to be knocked out, Vegeta moved closer towards him to finish off his opponent when Frieza grabbed his ankle, knocking the Saiyan of his feet.

But while Frieza struggled to his feet and then began to levitate of the ground, Vegeta used his lighting speed, to dematerialize and then rematerialize, behind Frieza.

Vegeta then fired a beam of energy straight through Frieza's shoulder blades. The Lizard fell to the floor with a heavy thump, clutching the whole in his body, while his purple blood ran across the floor.

"Vegeta, please don't! I beg of you." Frieza coughed out more blood with his pathetic pleas.

But the sound of Frieza's please failed to achieve mercy from the heartless Saiyan Prince.

"Did you bestow mercy upon my people Freiza?!" Vegeta asked in an icy tone.

Seeing the bitterness and deep hatred in the Saiyans eyes, Frieza could only give one last smirk as he reaped what he had sown.

Using all of his strength, Vegeta summoned a deadly ball of energy, which obliterated the Lizard into nothingness, while bringing down the walls of the throne room and leaving a large crater in the centre of the room.

Finally, it was over! The final pleas of Frieza sweetened the revengeful victory to no end, but this victory was a double edged sword. For there were no other Saiyans to witness this victory. The victory that Vegeta knew would make every Saiyan proud.

Not that Vegeta was a sentimental man or disheartened, for one had to have a heart for that, but he was an extremely proud Saiyan! Proud of his blood, heritage and his title, which he could now rightfully claim, with the ruling of his planet! Claiming his planet! The words gave the Saiyan Prince a sense of rightness!

"You have done well." Zoron's praise broke through Vegeta's thoughts.

Vegeta looked around the desecrated room, engraving the memory in his mind. "The bastard had it coming."

"Fifteen long years in the making, I'd say." Zoron agreed. "But where to from here?"

"Are the people here aware of my victory?"

"Yes." Zoron nodded.

Vegeta smirked. "Good. Now get together the soldiers who assisted us, have them get rid of all those who were close to Frieza. Do you understand, not one of Frieza's faithful subjects are to live. Then release all the sex slaves. The women who have no place to go can be given other duties here. Then I will announce my plans as the new ruler this afternoon. It is time this planet was brought back to the way it was!" He finished.

Frieza's rein would truly end today!

"I agree." Zoron smiled happily.

"Good." Vegeta said.

"But Prince Vegeta, what about Zarbon and Dodoria?" Vegeta's new advisor asked.

"Ah yes." Vegeta smirked. "We will await their arrival, for we have such wonderful surprises in store for them." Vegeta laughed coldly as he headed to his chambers to shower and rest.
