Chapter 1

King Vegeta was sitting in his throne room thinking about his decision to kill Paragus and his son Broly.

Paragus brought up a good point. Broly would be a great warrior to serve his son Vegeta when he became king, but a baby with a power level of 10,000 was just too dangerous. King Vegeta didn't want to take that chance.

Soon his musing was interrupted by his advisor storming into the throne room.

"Sir, We have just received word that Frieza's ship is hovering in our planet's atmosphere. We are awaiting your orders on how to proceed" Zorn said.

King Vegeta frowned as he tried to think about what Frieza could possibly want from him.

'What is that tyrant doing here? He has already taken my heir from me, so what more could he want? Did he come to take Tarble as well? That can't be it, I doubt that he even knows of Tarble's existence, besides I sent him to a remote planet last year. So what is his purpose' King Vegeta thought before standing up to address Zorn.

He didn't manage to speak though, because at that moment a bloodied and beaten Bardock came barreling into the room. He was quickly grabbed by some guards who restrained him and made him kneel in front of King Vegeta.

"Bardock? What's the meaning of this? No one can just barge in here unannounced like that and go unpunished" King Vegeta said angrily as he gathered energy in his palm to blast Bardock, but the words that came out of the man's mouth stopped him from doing so.

"FRIEZA HAS BETRAYED US" Bardock yelled making everyone in the room's eyes widen.

King Vegeta allowed the energy in his palm to dissipate as he looked at Bardock in contemplation. Bardock was a low class soldier that recklessly took on higher level missions with his team. King Vegeta knew that the man was many things, ruthless, prideful, idiotic, but he was not a liar. With that thought in mind; King Vegeta sat back down to hear what the man had to say, much to the surprise of Zorn and the guards.

Seeing that his King was willing to listen to him, Bardock began to tell him about everything that he's been through since leaving Planet Kanassa.

He told him about how the inhabitants of the planet could see the future and how one of them cursed him with the power, He told him about the Planet Meat ambush where his crew was killed and where they tried to kill him. When he was done with his story King Vegeta looked at Bardock with an eyebrow raised.

He could tell by the man's tone of voice and the emotion on his face that the story was true, and that meant that Frieza was likely hovering over their planet with the sole purpose of destroying it.

"It makes my King. It would certainly explain Frieza's unexpected visit here and the fact that most of our missions were canceled is certainly no coincidence. This could've been staged for weeks" Zorn said voicing his thoughts.

"How could you say that Zorn!? We've done nothing but serve Frieza faithfully he'd have no reason to destroy us" A guard yelled.

"Quiet you idiot, use your head. We Saiyans are rapidly growing in strength with every battle we participate in. Our army all have power levels that out class lower level Frieza soldiers and with our Oozaru forms some of us can fight evenly with the Ginyu Force" Zorn said.

Bardock was tired of being held by the guards so he powered up and threw them off of him. His power level took everyone by surprise including King Vegeta. Zorn saw Bardock's power level and quickly did some calculations in his head.

"Bardock you have a power level of 10,500. That means that your Oozaru form would put you at a power level of 105,000. If we combine that with the King and Prince's Oozaru forms which stand at 110,000 and 120,000 respectively and few high class warriors like General Nappa and I, who both have power levels over 60,000 in our Oozaru forms, we may be able to pose a serious threat to Frieza whose last known power reading scaled at 530,000" Zorn said with a little hope in his voice.

"If that's true then we have to attack now. Summon Prince Vegeta and General Nappa, make an artificial moon and we can charge his ship together" Bardock said with a determined expression.

"Unfortunately its not that simple. Frieza sent my son, General Nappa, and a low class Saiyan named Raditz on a mission weeks ago. I thought you would know that seeing that Raditz is your son" King Vegeta said.

Bardock flinched. He had no clue that Raditz was on a mission. He didn't even know how old he was! Bardock cursed his lack of attention when it came to his children.

"Then what do we do?" Bardock asked.

The room was quiet for a moment, before King Vegeta stood up from his throne. Everyone looked at him for guidance, but King Vegeta didn't see a way for them to make it out alive. They're only hope was to ensure the survival of the Saiyan Race through the children.

"We have to make sure a Saiyan lives to avenge our Race. Are there any scheduled launches for today?" King Vegeta asked.

A random Royal advisor checked his scouter for a moment before answering the King.

"The only scheduled launch today is for a child named Kakarot. He's 2 years old and he has a power level of 2. The Planet he has been assigned to is called Earth and it's inhabitants have an average power level of 8.3. It's Planet that has abundant life, low gravity and it is far out of the reaches of Frieza's empire" the advisor said.

"Good. I will immediately contact Vegeta and instruct him to head to this Planet Earth and search for this Kakarot. That way the remaining Saiyans will be together and hopefully one day avenge our demise" King Vegeta says as he clicked on his scouter to send the coordinates to Vegeta's pod.

'Kakarot? Why does that name sound so familiar? Wait that's the name Gine gave our youngest child!' Bardock thought with a smirk.

"King Vegeta, Kakarot is my youngest child and I assure you that together he and the prince will destroy Frieza" Bardock said. King Vegeta looked at Bardock for a moment before smirking back.

"So both Raditz and Kakarot are off world and are likely to survive our destruction, you have any more children that are off world? The more insurance we have the better I feel" King Vegeta said.

He knew that Tarble was most likely still alive and despite his disappointment at how weak Tarble is, he is still his son. He hoped that he lived to carry on the Royal bloodline just like Vegeta would.

Bardock paused for a moment. He was almost certain that he had another child because he can remember Gine being pregnant in between Raditz and Kakarot. He could vaguely remember a little boy that looked almost exactly like him and Kakarot. What was his name? Turnip? Gine was going to kill him for forgetting it again. Bardock suddenly remembered the name and answered King Vegeta.

"Yes I have another son, his name is Turles and he was sent to conquer a far away planet right after Kakarot was born 2 years ago" Bardock said. King Vegeta nodded.

"Good hopefully he'll find his way to the others in the future. They'll need all the help they can get" King Vegeta said as he linked his scouter to his eldest son's.

The line was dead for a few moments and King Vegeta was starting to get impatient, but just before he disconnected the frequency he heard his son's voice

"Hello?"

XxXxXx

"Hello?" Vegeta said into his scouter. He rarely ever received calls from his father, so when Vegeta noticed that his father connected their scouters he instantly knew that something was wrong.

"Vegeta leave the planet that you are on immediately and head to Earth. I have already placed the coordinates in your pod, so all you have to do is initiate the launch sequence" King Vegeta said

Vegeta was shocked. This was a mission that he'd received from Frieza himself and his father was telling him to abandon it. Where was the pride in that?

"Father why do you want me to leave this planet and head to Earth?" Vegeta asked curiously.

King Vegeta took a deep breath before he began to explain the situation to his son. He knew that this may be a little much for a 7 year kid to handle, but he had faith that his son would react rationally like a true prince would.

"Frieza has betrayed us. He is going to destroy the planet and he is hovering over us as we speak. You are to head to Earth and find a Saiyan child named Kakarot. You two are going to live there and train to get stronger. Do not destroy the inhabitants either, instead strive to make allies that will help you with your goal of destroying Frieza! Our pride as a race is on your shoulders" King Vegeta said.

Vegeta was speechless. He didn't know how to react to the news, but the thought of all the other Saiyans dying except him and Kakarot didn't really bother him as much as the fact that Frieza was the one was going to do it. He swore his allegiance to the Lizard and this is how he was repaying him!?

"Understood father. I will inform Raditz and Nappa that we will be leaving immediately" Vegeta said, but King Vegeta spoke up.

"NO. Nappa and Raditz can not go with you. They are your alibi for Frieza. They inform him that you died on that mission, so that he doesn't go looking for you. Inform them of where your going so that they can rendezvous with you later, but as for now they need to stay and complete that mission" King Vegeta ordered.

Vegeta nodded solemnly. Raditz was his only friend and he would want him to come with him, but he understood that it would seem suspicious if neither of the children showed up with Nappa after their planet was destroyed.

"Anything else Father?" Vegeta asked. The line was quiet for a moment before his father spoke again.

"This may very well be the last time we speak, so I want you to always remember one thing...I'm proud if you my son" King Vegeta said as he disconnected the line.

Vegeta's eyes widened at the words. He couldn't believe that his father actually said those words out loud to him. Only his mother had told him how much she loved him and how proud he made her, but his father never openly admitted it. The words made Vegeta tear up, but he quickly dismissed the tears as he made his way over to his comrades. Raditz immediately saw that something was wrong with the Prince, so he spoke up.

"What's wrong Prince Vegeta, you look like someone ate your food" The 10 year old joked trying to cheer his friend up. He was surprised when Vegeta ignored him and kept walking towards his pod.

"Wait where are you going? We haven't finished our mission yet" Raditz said attracting the attention of Nappa. Once Vegeta got to his pod he sighed and addressed his comrades.

"My father has just informed me that Frieza has betrayed us and plans on destroying our race. In order to one day get our Vengeance and restore our pride as a race, he has instructed me to head to Planet Earth to escape Frieza's clutches. There I will meet with a Saiyan child named Kakarot and together we will train and gain allies until we are strong enough to confront Frieza" Vegeta said.

Raditz and Nappa looked at the Prince in stunned silence for a moment before Raditz spoke up.

"Did you say Kakarot? That's my youngest brother! In that case you should let me come with you" Raditz said.

"Raditz-" Vegeta started, but he was interrupted by the long haired Saiyan.

"I know that I'm weak right now, but I can get stronger. I will not be a burden on this mission and I will help you defeat Frieza when the time comes" Raditz said.

Vegeta sympathized with his friend, but his father gave him his orders. He couldn't disobey his father's final directions to him.

"I'm sorry Raditz, but I was instructed that It'll just be me and Kakarot. You and Nappa were instructed to stay behind and tell Frieza that I was killed during this mission. That way he won't search for me. Rendezvous with me there if you ever get the chance to escape" Vegeta said as he got into his pod.

Nappa nodded his head in understanding, and Raditz' head went down for a moment, before he looked back at Vegeta with a determined expression.

"Understood Prince Vegeta, please look after my brother until I get there. I promise that I'll grow stronger and that the next time you see me, I'll be ready to give my all to help you avenge our people" Raditz said with a smirk.

Vegeta blinked at his friend before smirking back.

"Of course we'll be waiting... If you live that long low class" Vegeta said teasingly as he and Raditz laughed one last time.

Nappa looked at the two children with pride for a moment, before he laughed as well.

"Now that's what I like to hear. Get going Vegeta, me and the brat will keep Frieza off your tail. Make sure that you and Kakarot get stronger and one day we'll join you to check on your progress" Nappa said smirking at the Prince.

Vegeta looked at Raditz and Nappa one last time before nodding and closing the door to his pod. He pressed the launch button and soon he was rocketing off in the direction of Earth.

'Father, I will not allow Frieza to get away with this. Kakarot and I will train and gather allies on this planet Earth. One day we will avenge our race... Or die trying' Vegeta thought as the cryogenic sleep gas began to fill his pod.

Vegeta dozed off as he heard an explosion in the distance.

XxXxXx

King Vegeta, Bardock and a group of elite Saiyan warriors were in front of Frieza's spaceship fighting off hoards of low level Frieza soldiers.

They decided that if they were going to die anyway; they'd die in battle. That was the way of a true Saiyan.

"FRIEZA" Bardock shouted as he punched a hole through one of the soldiers chest, killing him.

"Come out and face us you scaly coward" King Vegeta said as he sent a wave of energy that vaporized a group of soldiers.

The rest of the Saiyans were overwhelmed by the numbers of the Frieza Force and soon only Bardock and King Vegeta remained. Both were wounded and bloodied, but they continued to fight strong.

It was at that moment, Frieza emerged from his ship. The two surviving Saiyans tensed as the tyrant glared at them.

"Defiance like this is the reason why I have to dispose of your entire money farm. I don't tolerate disobedience, you should know that better than anyone Vegeta" Frieza said.

"Tch don't act as if you weren't going to destroy us anyway. We noticed you in the atmosphere, we just decided to go out fighting" King Vegeta said frowning at Frieza.

"Hmm maybe you aren't the brainless monkeys I originally thought you were" Frieza said laughing.

Bardock snarled and channeled all of his remaining energy into his right hand.

"We've wasted our time following your twisted orders and schemes. It's time that this comes to an end" Bardock said.

"I couldn't have said it any better myself" King Vegeta said as he charged up as much energy as he could into his palms.

Frieza saw that the two Saiyans were charging their attacks, so he lifted his finger to initiate his own attack.

"This is for all the people we killed in your name you Bastard! HERE HAVE IT" Bardock shouted as he and King Vegeta fired their remaining energy at Frieza.

As it neared him the two attacks merged. Frieza began to chuckle to himself lowly, before he erupted into full blown laughter as he poured more energy into his finger. The orb of power eclipsed the combined might of the two Saiyans and absorbed their energy into it. Frieza pointed his finger towards the planet and the giant ball of power soared towards Planet Vegeta.

Bardock and King Vegeta could do nothing but look on in fear as the energy enveloped them and began to burn their skin. The orb continued towards the planet and dug into its core causing the planet to explode.

The maniacal laughing of Frieza drowned out the final screams of the two saiyans.

One screamed 'Kakarot'.

And the other, 'Vegeta'.

XxXxXx

Months after the destruction of Planet Vegeta; Vegeta landed on Earth.

His space spot opened and he looked around to check his surroundings. The planet had extremely low gravity and it had an abundance of wildlife. The blue sky was a sharp contrast to Planet Vegeta's red sky, but other than that Vegeta to admit that Earth reminded him of home.

'Okay first things first. I must find Kakarot before anything else does. It would be terrible if a wild animal was to eat him' Vegeta thought to himself as he clicked his scouter to locate the child's space pod. He smirked when he found it.

"It's only 45 miles away, I should be there in no time considering this pitiful gravity" Vegeta said to himself as he took off towards the pod's location.

When he arrived there he frowned at the empty pod. That wasn't totally unexpected. Kakarot was 2 and it was likely that he had simply wandered off somewhere. That thought made the Prince flinch.

Then he heard crying that could only belong to a Saiyan. He had yet to encounter a species with stronger lungs than his own.

He quickly followed the sound and was shocked to see Kakarot was being carried in a basket by an elderly man, and by the looks of it he wanted out. The man looked to be oblivious to the fact that Kakarot was almost out of the basket.

Vegeta looked on in horror as Kakarot fell out of the basket and into a large trench. While Vegeta was fairly certain that the fall wouldn't kill him, he didn't want to risk Kakarot having permanent brain damage, so he quickly flew down into the trench and caught Kakarot before he could hit anything.

When Vegeta floated back to the top of the gorge he was greeted by the grateful look of the earthling that was carrying Kakarot.

"Thank Kami for you young man, you saved my Grandson" the man said coming closer to them with a look of concern on his face, as he reached for Kakarot.

Vegeta gave the man a look of confusion but he allowed him to take Kakarot from him. That's when the man noticed his tail. His eyes widened in realization.

"Oh a tail! I see...you must be the boy's brother. I found him all alone in a weird space pod. Did you arrive here in one of those pods too?" The man asked with a smile on his face. Vegeta was uncomfortable because he wasn't used to such displays on his planet.

"Yes Kakarot there is my little brother. I am Prince Vegeta of the Saiyan you for taking care of him for me while I traveled. Mr..." Vegeta trialed off not knowing the man's name.

"I'm Gohan. I found Kakarot in the woods 3 weeks ago and became his adopted Grandfather. I gave him the Earth name Goku. I'm guessing you two aren't from this planet. Would you mind explaining what you're doing here? You haven't come to take over the planet have you?" Gohan said laughing at his joke. Vegeta wondered how the man would feel when he finds out that that was Kakarot's original purpose of being there.

Vegeta looked at Gohan for a while debating on whether or not he should trust the man. After assessing him for a moment Vegeta decided that the man held no ill will for him and Kakarot and genuinely seemed to want to know what was going on. Vegeta even got the impression that the old man would try his best to help them with their situation. With that thought in mind Vegeta told Gohan everything in hopes of finding his first ally.

Gohan listened to the Prince speak without interrupting him and when Vegeta finished his story Gohan looked at him in disbelief.

"So you're telling me that there's an evil emperor that destroyed your planet, and you're people, and that you were sent here by your father to train and gather allies in order to defeat him?" Gohan asked.

Vegeta nodded at the man who sighed and rubbed his head.

"That's a lot of responsibility to place on the shoulders of a 7 year old boy. Even if you are the prince of a warrior race" Gohan said.

"Age has nothing to do with my duty. I was the strongest saiyan on the planet before it blew up. I just surpassed my father in power on my 7th birthday" Vegeta said defiantly as if the age remark offended him. Gohan nodded not wanting to deal with a royal temper tantrum.

"Well then Vegeta, I promise that I'll do everything in my power to help you and Goku get stronger. I also know some other warriors that will have no problems helping you guys out, but we should wait until Goku gets older before we visit them. Until that time comes I think it would beneficial for you two to train with me here. I have more than enough room for you two at my house" Gohan said.

Vegeta was surprised at the words that Gohan was saying. The man just met him that day and he was offering to train him and give him a place to stay. Either the man was incredibly nice, or incredibly foolish.

Vegeta clicked his scouter and was disappointed when the man's power level was only 100. He couldn't train with him without accidentally killing him, and Vegeta didn't want to kill the first person on this world to show him kindness.

"Thank you for offering to train us, but the gap in our powers is too wide. While you only have a power level of 100, I have a power level of 12,000. I could accidentally hurt you. Besides what can you possibly teach me? I'm an elite warrior from a warrior race" Vegeta asked. Gohan laughed before replying.

"You can always learn different moves and techniques everywhere you go; even from someone your physically superior too, and I've been around for a long time. I may just surprise you."

Vegeta thought the man's words over for a moment before nodding and accepting Gohan's offer to train him. Gohan smiled and took him and Kakarot back to his home on Mt. Paozu.

For the next 10 years Goku and Vegeta trained under Gohan with one goal in their heads.

Frieza must die.
