Chapter One - Leaving For Good
The strong wailing of a newborn was heard throughout the kingdom.
"Here you are, my lord. Your healthy, newborn, Saya-jin son." Vegeta took the
child from the medic and looked his son over. The young prince had dark hair
and eyes just like the king. The medic spoke lightly after a few moments. "I'm
sorry to inform you sire, but your mate has passed. The birthing process was
too much for her. We tried our hardest to save her, but I'm afraid our attempts
failed. I'm sorry sir." The king felt a pang of hurt in his heart. He never got to
tell his mate that he had actually loved and respected her, despite what he
taught to feel. He now knew that love was not a weakness, but a strength, a
strength that surpassed even a Super Saya-jin's.
"Thank you, Legumbre, you are dismissed." The king looked down onto his heir
and smiled. "You will be great one day, my son. I swear it on the pride of
Vegetasei, and on the honor of your mother." The king of the proud planet took
a moment to ponder what his prince's name should be. "Yes, I shall name you
Vegeta, after your home planet. Vegeta is a fine name for the warrior prince of
Vegetasei." King Vegeta placed the already sleeping prince back in his crib. He
had a purging mission to attend to in the morning, so he decided to turn in for
the night. Vegeta went to his room and fell into a dreamless slumber, thinking of
nothing but his prince and the prince's mother.
- The Next Morning -
The king woke up quite refreshed. He went into the nursery to say goodbye to
his newborn prince. The nurse came in shortly after he did, and bowed curtly
then attended to the prince.
"What is your name woman?"
"S-s-sala, sire." The nurse nervously stuttered out.
"Sala? Well, Sala, if anything should happen to me today, you are to care for my
son, and when he comes of age, he is to be king."
"Yes, of course my lord."
"Raise him as if her were your own, and make sure he knows that he is the
Prince of Vegetasei. Understood, woman? You will protect him with your life."
"Yes my lord."
"You are dismissed."
"Thank-you sire." Sala left the king behind to be with his Saya-jin Prince.
"My son. I'm sorry I won't be here to see you grow up into a proud, strong
Saya-jin. I hope one day you will realize that I did this for your own good." He
picked up chibi Vegeta and planted a small kiss on his little forehead, causing
him to coo with delight. Chibi Vegeta made his first Saya-jin smirk, making his
father smirk with pride in return. "Goodbye, my son, Prince Vegeta."
King Vegeta, ruler of Vegetasei, was pronounced dead with thirty other Saya-jins
the next morning. The Saya-jins won the purge, but Vegetasei had lost a great
leader.
- A year later on the planet of Chikyuu ... -
Doctor Briefs, founder and owner of Capsule Corps, rushed his wife, Bunny
Briefs, to the hospital. Dr. Briefs got Bunny there in the nick of time.
Approximately 32 minutes later, Bunny had given birth to a beautiful daughter,
Bulma Briefs.
- Back in space, 13 years later -
Prince Vegeta was growing into a fine warrior. He was now taller than Sala, and
he worked out every day so he was the buffer than all of his guards combined.
Not only that, but Vegeta was quite the looker. Vegeta was packing everything
he owned, and planning to leave this hell bound ship of Freeza's for good. He
was only 14, but he couldn't stand that damn lizard anymore. *I swear on the
pride of Vegetasei, I will defeat you Freeza and regain my rightful place on the
throne.* Prince Vegeta finished packing, and went into his guardian's room to
tell her that he was leaving. He opened the door quietly, trying not to make any
sound. Vegeta spotted Sala in her den, reading. She heard him come in and
put down her book, looked up and smiled at the prince.
"What can I do for you 'Geta?" She had sensed that Vegeta was not in a very
good mood, so she had called him by his nick-name that she had given to him
when he was little. That always seemed to cheer him up a bit. Vegeta looked at
Sala with a very serious look on his face.
"I can't stay here any longer, Sala. I'm leaving the ship, and I won't return for a
while. I just came to say thank-you for all that you have done for me. I promise
to make it up to you someday. Goodbye." Vegeta left before Sala could say
anything. She was the only person who cared for him. Sala got out of her spot
and ran after Vegeta. When she caught up to him, she grabbed his wrist and
looked him dead in the eyes.
"Please Vegeta. Let me arrange this for you. I can't let anything happen to you.
I'll arrange for you to live on Chikyuu with my family, but please, don't just run
out there and get yourself killed. I swore to your father that I would protect you
with my life, and by Kami I will. I don't want to see anything bad happen to you."
The not so little Saya-jin Prince looked at his guardian, his companion, for the
past 14 years of his life.
"Fine, but I can't stay here for much longer, so make the arrangements quickly."
"Thank-you so much 'Geta. You won't regret this. I promise."
She got up on her tippy-toes and gave her prince a kiss on his widow's peak.
Sala ran back to her quarters and phoned her family on Chikyuu. They said that
it was fine if Vegeta stayed with them. Sala completed the arrangements and
said Vegeta would be there in a week's time. She hung up the phone and went
to talk to Vegeta.
"Vegeta?" She opened his door and saw him sitting on his couch. "It's been
arranged. They will enroll you into high school to make it seem like you are one
of them."
"Very well. When do I leave for this planet woman?"
"Well, there's only one space pod left, but if you hurry and get it before someone
else does, you can leave today."
"Good." Vegeta got up off the couch and went to leave.
"Um, 'Geta. Be careful. Please." Vegeta turned around and gave Sala a proud
Saya-jin smirk.
"I will, I promise." Vegeta then left to get the pod.
When he got there, there was a guard in the wings. Vegeta made a deal that if
the guard gave him the pod, that Vegeta wouldn't kill him. The guard complied
with the prince and gave him the pod. Vegeta then blasted off into space, not
once looking behind.
The strong wailing of a newborn was heard throughout the kingdom.
