~Prologue~
Vegeta-sei, the world of the Saiyans. Living on a tarnished planet that appeared
too small for the Saiyans when transformed into an Oozaru—the huge ape-like creatures that emerged every full
moon and terrorized the land. Some went
berserk smashing everything in sight to cinders, power cursing through their
veins growing to tremendous heights. As
they slowly gained technology, they began to leave off world, expanding the Vegeta-sei Empire and for the first time exploring new
alien worlds.
The warrior race didn’t remain
unnoticed, though. Frieza,
a powerful tyrant feared widely over the universe had taken vast interest on
the potential of the “Saiyans”. He studied these creatures’ fighting
techniques and how they devoted their lives in the fields of combat. What fascinated him the most was their
ability to get stronger after every fight.
He paid an unexpected visit to the Vegeta-sei
king and offered him a treaty swearing their alliance to him. Knowing no one on his planet including the
king himself were nowhere near a match for the Ice creature, rebellion would be
out of the picture. Frieza
knew he’d get exactly what he wanted…

King
Vegeta—1 year later
The King sat comfortably on the royal
throne staring thoughtfully out the glass window seeing ship after ship
entering or exiting the atmosphere. Most
of those ships carried an infant Saiyan that had read
too low a power-level for its worth.
These were considered only 3rd-class soldiers, which needed
to be protected from their enemies. So
they were sent to other planets to purge the inhabitants when grown to
adulthood and sell it to the highest bidder.
Now he regretted making the stupid pact in the first place. It had started out with the purging missions
and other exhibitions they took care of here and there around the galaxy, which
led them to becoming Frieza’s personal
mercenaries. Things seemed to run smoothly
for a while until Frieza slowly started showing his
true colors and the real reason behind the sudden act of alliance. Sure his people serve good in battle and
could take care of loose ends to feuds of uncooperative planets for him. That’s what Saiyans
most craved for—war. But what was Frieza searching for?
His intentions were still uncertain but he knew they weren’t pleasant
ones. It had been a year sine that
day…the sliding of the metal doors interrupted his thoughts.
“Father, father!” in came a small
child, her tail swigging wildly behind her barely containing her
excitement.
He looked down on her small figure
seeing the spark in those teal-blue eyes.
She was looking more like her mother everyday.
“What is it child?” for a 4 year old,
she could be as loud as a pack of beasts running in a stampede.
“I did it. I made it to 1,000. My power-level went higher and higher and it
reached 1,000. I finally did—”, she
paused at the sudden sense of high power behind her, the sliding doors opening
once more. The king raised his gaze up
to the door already knowing who awaited there.
“Lord Frieza,”
he quickly got up and against his disgust, he bowed down to the being before
him. He noticed his daughter hadn’t
moved from her position from the base of the throne.
“Bow down!” he said barely above a
whisper. She hesitated a moment, in
result to have the king push her down to her knees. She rose back stubbornly. Frieza walked
towards the only solitary window with the view of the skies seeing the full
load of Saiyan ships, completely ignoring their
actions.
“I see the treaty is in full motion by
the looks of things. Has the planet Jisule-sei been attained?”
“There’s a purging group finishing the
job right now. They should be done in
about…a few hours.” Frieza
had stopped in front of the smaller Saiyan as if
noticing her there for the first time.
That stare was making her skin crawl.
“And who might this little one be?”
“Zayn,” she
said a bit coy.
Frieza raised
a white ice-cold hand to his left eyepiece pressing a scan button on his scouter. Hmm, just
about a thousand. Quite
strong for a youngster. She could
be of use to me but first…
“Have you ever heard of a purge
mission?”
“Yes,” his icy breath was inches from
her face.
“Do you know what happens during one
of those purge missions?”
“Y…yes…” she stuttered at his intense
look seeing something almost menacing behind his eyes. But she refused to look away. He leaned closer; making sure his words were
audible only to her ears.
“In those strange planets, it’s very
easy to get killed if your guard isn’t always up. Someone might come and smash the inside of
your skull before you realize it. The
same thing will happen to you if you do not bow before me as when entering my
presence, you stupid monkey!!” his tail wrapped itself painfully around her
throat lifting her a few feet off the ground.
She let out a gasp of terror as her air supply ran shorter. Then she hit the marbled floor with a loud
thud.
“Inform me when the Jisules have been annihilated,” he turned and left without
another word.
The king clench his fists, “that good
for nothing son of a—”
“Why? Why did you let him do
that? He’s the one that should be bowing
down before us, not the other way around!
And you’re suppose to be the king,” she stated angrily, grasping at her
rasped throat. The king took a deep
breath as to not lash out at her of being reminded of losing his nobility to
the Ice Lord.
“It’s not that simple!! Frieza is very powerful.
Maybe even the strongest in the universe. If I let my position take over my head
knowing I could not win if he was to become our enemy. Then our people will be doomed. And our entire world will be no more. So as king, I have to shallow my pride to put
first the well being of my people. Even if it means kissing up to that hornball
lizard’s ass.”
“But you’re the king. You should be able to do what you want.”
“Not everyone gets to do as they
please.”
“But—”
“You are too young to understand the
matters of this situation. But don’t
worry. Soon you’ll understand. Soon…” he let his words carry out wonder
hoping for the day when they would all be free from the clutches of Frieza.
