Chapter Two

Another Saiyan

"WHAT!" Vegeta looked at Zoron in disbelief. "Are you absolutely certain?"

"Yes." Zoron simply nodded.

Vegeta knew that the man would never state anything of such importance if he truly did not believe it and possess substantial facts to prove his theories.

"But how could another Saiyan remain under Frieza's radar for such a long period of time?" Vegeta asked.

"Well, Earth as you know, is a rather insignificant planet. It possessed no great warriors who could threaten Frieza's rein, considering its inhabitants possessed no substantial amount of energy. The planet is also situated in a very distant solar system."

"And until last year, it would have taken us years to travel to it, without the modification of the launch mode." Vegeta interrupted wisely.

"Exactly." Zoron continued. "Now just recently, Frieza became more greedy in his dominance of the universe and began making head way through Earth's solar system. Successfully, until he came to planet Earth. We were able to deduce that a particularly strong warrior did not take too well to Frieza's men and finished them off."

"So Kakarot is Earth's hero, hey." Vegeta smirked.

"It can only be him. His resemblance to his father is striking." Zoron said confidently as he had analyzed the image of the warrior, which had been sent through hours ago. "And if there was any doubt, it was immediately removed by the sight of his tail." Zoron said.

"But how did he manage to get off of here successfully, while our entire planet was under attack? Not to mention he was just a baby and Frieza's men were everywhere."

"Yes, he was only five at the time. Well after much research I have come up with a logical explanation."

"Well then spit it out." Vegeta said impatiently.

"Bardock was our head scientist and at the time of Frieza's attack, a war broke out. It was total chaos." Zoron relayed the events that Vegeta could remember as vividly as if they had only occurred yesterday. Vegeta may have only been eight years of age at the time, but as a Saiyan, his natural instincts were to fight. Although now, the twenty-three year old, had known that he had only survived because Frieza had deemed it so.

"Bardock, not being known for his fighting abilities, was obviously in the lab at the time, putting up shields to defend the Castle against the attacks. However, I have learned one very interesting fact while reviewing past files, which Frieza never bothered to look through, Bardock sent a space pod into space that night, at the very time Frieza's men were gaining a steady advantage over us."

"So Kakarot was saved from Frieza by his father." Vegeta concluded for Zoron, who nodded his assent. Somehow the feeling aroused some jealousy towards the Saiyan he had not known. "But now he is dead." Vegeta stated indifferently.

"Yes." Zoron confirmed. "He has also gone on to lead a very comfortable life there. He has even grown a family with the Earthlings. It is highly possible that Bardock did not have time to plot a course for Kakarot. So the boy would have crashed landed on a distant planet, I assume he had a head injury and that is why he can not remember anything of his past. According to Pom Pom and Squiggly, Kakarot had defeated both Zarbon and Dodoria. However it was a very strenuous battle, that left Kakarot many energy inflicted injuries. Apparently the man could not even stand up to defend himself and left on a deserted island with almost all of Earth's population destroyed, the chances of him being found are non existence. And the chances of him surviving are less than that."

So Vegeta had received some unknown help from a fellow Saiyan to defeat Frieza. For if it were not for Kakarot, Zarbon and Dodoria would still be here to watch Frieza's back.

"How long before the cowards arrive?" Vegeta asked about the remaining two imbeciles who had accompanied Zarbon and Dodoria to Earth. Apparently after witnessing the failure of two very powerful men, the cowards had decided to turn tail and run. Since they were faithful subjects of Frieza's, Vegeta would dispose of them. The thought brought a smirk to Vegeta's face for he knew that if Frieza had still been alive, the Lizard would have done the same. If it was one thing Frieza had despised, it was failure.

"Half an hour from now." Zoron answered. "However, they say that they have brought back two very useful gifts to present to Frieza. No doubt in the hopes that he would spare their lives." Zoron said, knowing that the two men were not aware that Frieza was long dead!

"Well then, let us not disappoint them. We shall meet them at the arrival station." Vegeta smirked in curiosity.

Bulma opened her eyes slowly, praying that the events of today had only been a nightmare. She begged that she was still on Master Roshi's island having lunch with Goku, and the rest of their friends. But at the sight of the space ship she was in and the feel of Gohan sleeping on her chest, she knew she had not dreamed up the entire mess. She strained her eyes lower to see that she was lying on a bench that was attached to the space ship and that she and Gohan were buckled onto it to prevent them from falling off.

She sighed softly as she turned her head to her side. Bulma immediately shut her eyes at the sight of the two aliens who were seated at the ships control panel. She did not want them to know she was awake, for who knew what they would do then. At least at this point she and Gohan were still together and unharmed.

She felt too physically and emotionally drained to devise a plausible escape plan at the moment. So she just lay there in the hopes that when they landed she would have regained enough strength to carry out a successful escape.

"So, why are we taking those two back with us?" Bulma heard, what she could only describe as a very dazed and stupid voice, ask.

"Because you idiot." Apparently the owner of the stupid voice was indeed stupid, Bulma thought with a little laugh. "We need something to offer to Frieza to save our skins." The second voice said in irritation.

"Oh I see." But it was obvious from his tone that the first voice did not 'see' as the second voice growled in response.

"The boy is a Saiyan. Well half Saiyan, because his mother is definitely Earthling, but with enough training he could be very useful in Frieza's army. Especially now that Vegeta is the only monkey left. And the women ..." Bulma heard the man laugh in a way that made her want to knock his head hard. " ... She could be very useful as a sex slave, very useful indeed."

Bulma tried hard to suppress her grunt of 'over my dead body'. There would be no way that she would allow Gohan to become some evil army worker like the men who had come to Earth! Even if she had to sell her body, hell even her soul, to prevent it.

"Ok, we're landing now." The less stupid alien said.

Bulma took a deep breath, readying herself to face whatever was to come her way. She was just glad that Gohan was still asleep!

Vegeta watched as Zarbon's space ship landed on the arrival station. Minutes later the door opened to reveal Pom Pom. The short, pink colored creature with an ugly fat face and bumpy skin. He was closely followed by Squiggly. Much taller and slimmer than his counter path but just as ugly, Vegeta thought. His green scaly skin and yellow eyes were enough to make any sane person suffer from indigestion. However the two looked too pleased with themselves for Vegeta's liking.

"Well, well, well. The cowards have arrived Zoron." Vegeta told the man standing at his side.

"Vegeta, did Frieza send you to escort us to him?" Pom Pom asked.

"No." Vegeta smirked.

"Well then, get out of our way. We want to see Frieza." Pom Pom said, using a tone of disrespect that grated on Vegeta's nerves.

"That can be arranged. Do send my regards to Frieza when you see him." Vegeta laughed as he shot a beam of deadly energy straight through the pink creature's chest. "In the next dimension." Vegeta finished smugly.

Bulma covered her mouth to stop a horrified gasp from escaping her lips as she watched the short pink alien being killed.

When her two captors had stepped out of the ship she had immediately gone to the control panel to try and blast off the ship back into space. And although she may have been successful with any ship on the universe, being a scientific genius, she could not figure out the controls. Everything was in a language she did not understand!

For fear of causing damage like self destruction, she moved silently towards the ships exit, with Gohan, thankfully, still asleep in her arms. She was luckily hidden in the ships shadows but could still see clearly outside.

There were two men awaiting their arrival. One was very tall and would have looked normal if it were not for his pale grey skin and the fact that he did not have ears. 'Well not any that I can see.' Bulma thought. But strangely, the man did not look dangerous or even violent.

However, the much shorter man standing next to him, looked very, very dangerous. Especially considering he had just killed someone without even batting an eyelash.

But he looked incredibly normal! Just like a human. Dressed in a blue body suit, covered with white and gold armor, he looked just like the monsters that invaded her planet. Only with his human like features he looked more attractive than the others.

A muscular body, not much taller than hers, strongly carved handsome features with pitch black hair that stood straight up with the exception of three locks that defiantly lay upon his forehead. 'Must have taken him hours to achieve that look.' Bulma thought.

'What am I doing? This is no time to be gushing over a man!' Bulma scolded herself. Especially a man who could very well be dangerous to Gohan and herself. He did look a little familiar though, especially with that dark hair and equally dark eyes.

Vegeta watched as Squiggly's knees began to shake as he bit his fingers in fear. Vegeta knew the pathetic creature was not the brightest, but after Pom Pom's death, even he could tell who was in charge now.

Squiggly dropped to his knees, his hands held together in a pleading manner. "Please don't kill me Vegeta." He begged.

"Get up!" Vegeta growled.

The green creature did as he was told.

"So Squiggly, what are these "useful gifts" you have brought back for Frieza?" Vegeta asked.

Squiggly turned his hopeful, beady eyes, towards Vegeta, thinking he would be spared by offering the woman and child to the Saiyan. "Oh, we brought back the Earth Saiyan's mate and son."

"What!" Vegeta and Zoron exclaimed in perfect unison.

Seeing their expressions Squiggly became more confident in his stance. "Yes, the boy is half Saiyan and I thought Frieza would be happy to be able to train another monk ... I mean Saiyan warrior ..." Squiggly, amended at Vegeta's growl, acting as if the plan had been all his.

"Stop your bumbling Squiggly and get to the point!" Vegeta demanded.

"Yes sir. Since Frieza was upset that you were the only one left I thought he could be very useful in our army. And the boys' mother is very very beautiful! She could be an excellent addition amongst the other women." Squiggly finished.

Vegeta smirked. So he had saved another Saiyan boy from being dealt the same undesirable faith as Vegeta had lived through. Kakarot's son! They must have a lot of luck, Vegeta thought. For not only had Kakarot been spared, his son would be too. In the process he was also saving another woman from degrading torture.

Squiggly mistaking Vegeta's smirk for pleasure said more confidently. "The boy and her are in here." He nodded towards the ship.

Vegeta looked at the ships entrance. His gaze fell upon a shadow telling him that they had been observed.

Without removing his eyes from the shadow, Vegeta dealt the same blow to Squiggly as he had to Pom Pom. When the worthless creature fell, lifeless, to the ground, Vegeta spoke.

"You may come out now."
