A/N: I'm starting this at work, and I was having a thought about the supposed original Super Saiyan. While thinking about it, I thought I could use the concept of the original SSJG or SSJ in a story.
I dont know where I heard it, but I feel like it was the story told by Shenron about the Super Saiyan God, that 6 pure hearted Saiyans rose to meet a threat of the growing population of evil Saiyans. The way I see it, the evil Saiyans eventually become the Saiyan Kingdom, with Vegeta's Ancestor at the helm.
Chapter 1: Exile
The newly crowned King Vegeta I sat on his throne before his court with a smirk on his face.
"I must thank you Celero. After your impressive attempt at fighting back, you culled quite a few weaker Saiyans." King Vegeta I stated as he stood up and walked down to the bloody beaten man who was kneeled before the King. "However, with power such as yours in the possession of a warrior such as yourself, youre simply too dangerous to be kept around." King Vegeta I glared as he kicked the warrior further to the ground.
"You will regret your actions on this day. Maybe not today, but someday." The chained warrior spoke softly as he returned to his kneeling position.
The king looked away in thought, "You might be right, because despite me hatred for you, I honestly dont know if anyone has the power to kill you. So all I can do is imprison you." the king spoke with a disdainful tone. "Luckily for me, we have a prototype stasis prison that should keep you contained."
"Stasis Prison!?" the warrior asked incredulously.
The king chuckled at his reaction. "Well originally it was a stasis pod meant for deep space travel. But with minor tweaking, it has been turned into a prison. In fact, I believe you know the creator." King Vegeta smirked as he held the modified tech in front of the warrior.
Celero, the chained warrior, teared up as flashes of his friends and mate came before his eyes while looking at the technology. He hung his head low as the tears dripped softly from his face. "Even if it does hold me, it can't hold me forever. When it finally gives, I'm coming for you and your bloodline!" he screamed as he attempted to power up, only to receive a swift chop to the back of his neck.
King Vegeta scowled at the unconscious warrior, "Please, spare me the heroics. If the Stasis Prison works as designed, you and I will more than likely never see each other again." The king looked to his servants, "You two, affix this to a ship, put the traitor inside and banish him to a planet far away from me!" The king ordered as he tossed the technology to the servant.
The servants did as asked and affixed the stasis prison to the first ship they found. When they checked the coordinates they found they were already entered for a planet beyond the reach of the explored galaxy.
Celero awoke 3 hours later in his new prison. He sat up and looked around and smirked. "Did they really put me in my brother's ship?" he said to himself as he walked around. He found the central console and found a carving of his brother's name on it.
As the ship flew through the void of space, Celero decided to check his trajectory. As he attempted to press a button he was met with a small electric shock. "They activated the stasis pod." he thought aloud. "But if the stasis pod is activated, why am I awake? It was designed to maintain vitals and keep someone alive but unconscious on deep space trips."
'But with minor tweaking, it has been made into a prison.' Vegeta's voice rang through his head.
"Would make sense if they found away to maintain the stasis field without putting me under. That's a prison, leave me alone with my thoughts for as long as the field is active." Celero worked out the solution as he walked around the shuttle.
As he looked around he found the room he was going to claim if he failed as the Super Saiyan. "Plan A failed, I'm sorry my friends." He found the books that his brother dug up that showed him how to become a Super Saiyan. "Useless books, couldnt even defeat Vegeta of all people."
And so he waited for the pod to land, and when it finally landed on a lush world, abundant in natural resources, he attempted to leave the pod, only for the stasis field to remain active. So he waited. Months to years, years became decades which eventually became centuries.
The stasis prison was modified to maintain a person's vitals and life, keeping them alive throughout the ages despite lack of food, water or other essential survival items. It also keeps the subject fully conscious and aware.
Unfortunately for Celero, during his time waiting, he became surrounded by a mountain, and buried alive, deep beneath the Earth, for centuries, his mind had eventually broke, and his body deteriorated of muscle mass. He was a shell of a warrior, he was kept young, but no longer the Super Saiyan he had once been.
One day a light shined in and a boy had fallen into the crack that had broken open in the rock above him.
The boy landed expertly as he had practiced. "Oh no, Mr. Piccolo isn't going to be able to find me down here." the boy said aloud as he looked at the crevice above. "I better make a fire until he senses my ki." the boy stated to nobody in particular. He managed to gather small sticks that had fallen down with him as he used a ki blast to light the fire.
As soon as the fire was lit, the boy could see the ship that had trapped Celero. Celero has been observing this curious boy, but as soon as the flame was lit, he saw the boy's tail, which meant one thing.
"SAIYAN!!" Celero screamed angrily as he began slamming into the wall of his prison. "DESCENDANT OF VEGETA, WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, I WILL DESTROY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! YOU WILL REGRET FINDING ME BOY!!" Celero screamed at the top of his lungs as the boy backed himself against the wall, fearful of this robot-looking creature before him.
The boy began crying loudly as Celero managed to crack the wall, but not the stasis chamber. Celero could hear the cries of this young child and he gained slight clarity as he remembered his little brother.
-Saiyan Homeworld, Many years ago-The future King Vegeta, but a mere child smirking over a younger Saiyan Child with a black eye. "Gonna cry Caro?" Vegeta asked indignantly as the boys eyes watered up, stinging his fresh black eye.Before Caro could answer, a fist connected with Vegeta's cheek. Celero stood in front of Caro as he glared at his counterpart."I told you Vegeta, don't mess with Caro!" Celero stated calmly as he stared daggers at the other boy.Vegeta spat blood from his mouth and wiped it away, "Oh, so sorry Celero, but I felt your threat to be empty considering your foolish pacifism." Vegeta said as he got into a fighting stance."I didnt hit you as an invitation to fight. I wanted you to get away from Caro. Also, you know i'm not a pacifist, I just dont throw my weight around for shits and giggles like you do. I'd rather defend than attack any day." Celero stated calmly as Vegeta spat."Whatever, one day you'll fail to defend your friends and family, without fighting, and when that happens it'll be you and I fighting, and I'll win." Vegeta declared with a laugh as he retreated with his gang.
Celero saw the same scared face before him as he looked at the young child. "I'm sorry." was all he could muster as he fell into a quiet fetal position inside his prison.
The boy, still terrified of the noise, noticed it had quieted down and approached the robot. He looked inside and saw nothing but darkness.
"I'm sorry your sad Mr. Robot. But dont worry, one day when I'm strong like my daddy, i'll come rescue you from the mountain, then you won't be sad anymore. I promise!" The boy declared as he began climbing the rocks, determined to help the sad robot, not realizing it was a spaceship with a man inside. Celero simply wrote the child off, ignoring the promise.
Again, all he could muster was "I'm sorry."
End of Chapter 1
There is a lot to unpack in this chapter. It's meant as exposition. Kind of just setting up things.
Obviously, Celero is on Earth. Has been for centuries. He doesnt know anything about what happened to the Saiyans, he doesnt know who Frieza is, doesnt even know who Beerus is, he knows of a God of Destruction through the books his brother discovered.
Yes, they really put him on his brother's ship. They did what they were told, they just followed orders.
One gripe I can understand is that some people might think "Saiyans were simply brutes. Why is he depicting them as a semi-intelligent race?" The way I see things is before the little civil war between the good saiyans and evil saiyans, they were in a time of extreme peace. Near Utopian, obviously not Utopian, but as close as a civilization can get. In times of great peace, prosperity coincides and with prosperity comes innovation. When King Vegeta I took over, things would start spiraling downward.
I hope you enjoy the way this started. I have a few ideas with where to take it. Originally, I was going to have the mountain he was trapped in become Dr. Gero's lab, and Gero would release him, and obviously with Celero's deteriorating mind, he would team up with Gero. I might do something with that, but the child was obviously Gohan. Next chapter will have a time skip, most likely to when Gohan is just about to start at Orange Star, or possibly after Orange Star and Buu. I haven't decided.
