DRAGON BALL Z : VEGETA'S DESTINY

As a young teenager, Prince Vegeta requested to check up on kakarot, considering he is a low class warrior from birth. Frieza grants him this and immediately afterwards, Vegeta takes his first in command, a saiyan named Napa, to the planet earth. They arrive and it is instantly obvious that kakarot has done nothing that he was ordered to do. Using their scouters, they hunt down the highest power levels one by one, killing anybody they come across along the way.

Eventually they find him. Kakarot is on a small speck of an island, that has only a small house and a small surrounding yard that is beach sand. They land and call him out, only to realize he has made friends with the earthlings known as humans. The saiyans scoff at this and inform him of the reality of things, which shocks and stuns everybody.

Kakarot informs them that he is called goku, and that nobody will be killing anybody unless it is the two saiyan intruders. Goku has behind him his group of life long allies and friends: Krillin, Tien, Chiaotsu, Bulma and last but not least his sensei, Master Roshi. All except for Bulma, who is a scientist more than a fighter, are pupils under master roshi. However, they have all surpassed him in strength and skill. Only techniques are left, although they have already mastered a few.

Vegeta Saud he south save this humans for last, but he was extinguishing life on earth, and that goku was going to come with them whether he liked it or not. Contrare to vegetas statement, goku and his peers denied them and instead offered moving the fight elsewhere. The saiyans chuckled and agreed. They all could fly besides master roshi and bulma, who weren't fighting anyways, and took off after krillin said he knew the perfect spot.

Arriving at a large mountainous, rocky island, Napa said he fights first, confident they couldn't win combined. Tien, krillin and chiaotsu all fought him. It was a descently lengthed fight, but Napa eventually revealed he was just playing with them and soon dominated them easily. As all hope seemed lost, another friend of the group, and arguably the strongest, showed up out of nowhere and turned the tides. Piccolo had kept Napa off long enough for the others to recooperate, at which point tien jumped in back in the fight.

They coninued for nearly an hour before Napa started getting the upper hand. Seeing this, krillin and chiaotsu rejoin the fight. Napa then, rather quickly, incapacitated piccolo long enough to do the same to the rest of them. Tien was next, getting hurt badly and knocked unconscious, rendering him useless. Krillin was after that and was severely injured, almost killing him. Lastly, Napa reached chiaotsu, and murdered him in cold blood.

Piccolo saw that and became infuriated. From where he was he shot his technique, the special beam cannon, while Napa was laughing. It pierced near Napa's heart and went straight through his body like a bullet. He hit the ground with a crash, leaving a small crater.

Vegeta was ready for battle, and stepped up to piccolo at the same time that tien regained his consciousness. He learned that chiaotsu had been murdered and started raging, bringing him back in to the fight. The three fought for nearly an hour until tien became fatigued and vegeta knocked him out for the count. Piccolo then continued a while longer, until he met the same conclusion.

Goku was last. They seemed to be evenly matched for a long while. Then vegeta revealed that he was just toying with goku and released his real power. Then for a short time, vegeta beat goku senseless. When all seemed lost, goku used a technique his grandpa gohan taught him; the kaio ken.

That evened the playing field, actually giving goku the advantage by a small but noticeable margin. Vegeta got beat for a descent amount of time until snapping. He'd had enough and shot into the sky. Charging a blinding attack, he claimed he was going to destroy the whole planet at once. Goku matched vegeta's Galick gun attack with his own kamehameha wave.

Vegeta lost, after goku kicked it up a notch with kaio ken. Then vegeta got up and created a false moon with his ki blast. Using it, he transformed into an oozaru great ape. What he didn't count on, however, was that goku still had his tail. It was kept tucked under his gi, wrapped around his waist. The difference between them was obvious. Vegeta was completely coherent and could even anunciate words properly. Goku, on the other hand, might as well have been a new born child.

While transforming into an oozaru, there is a transcendence process for the mind. Considering it is entirely a new being, it requires multiple uses to become familiar with the new features and powers. Until then, you will remain in a transed state of consciousness while the oozaru is unleashed. Due to his oozaru form only having been used once, Goku was like a gargantuan infant; angry, wouldn't stop throwing a fit about nothing, and wouldn't stop until he cried himself to sleep.

Within seconds the entire earth was trembling about, not sure where it was going or what it was doing. The King Kong sized apes, although king Kong wouldn't last a minute with a saiyan oozaru, were bone chillingly agile and as strong as their size suggested. Goku pounded his chest and was roaring into the heavens when a ki blast knocked him off of his feet. He slid across the ground, leaving a skid mark larger than a football field. He quickly reverberated and charged Vegeta blindly in rage.

The oozaru saiyan prince fired 2 more ki blasts that hit goku. This time, goku saw them coming and just ran straight through them like they were rain drops. Slightly surprised, Vegeta just barely had enough time to react before goku was upon him. Goku leapt from all fours, but Vegeta easily sidestepped it. Goku landed like a cat and slid some ways. He started to spin towards Vegeta when a ki blast hit his foundation leg, sweeping it out from under him. He barely began falling when another blasted him in the side of his head. The instant he smashed into the planet, causing more global earthquakes, he was springing back to his feet.

But Vegeta was all over him. Being the prince of the mightiest race in existence had it's perks. Like learning combat tactics and special techniques as an oozaru great ape, for instance. Goku was getting back up and hadn't seen Vegeta jump towards him with astounding vertical clearance. He never saw it coming. Coming down towards goku while he stood up, Vegeta drove both knees into the back of the top of goku's skull.

Vegeta started laughing maniacally at his victory when his feet were swept from beneath him. Goku had grabbed them and tugged them as he used his back legs to stand. Now in the dominant position, goku started wailing on Vegeta below him, who was in a semi fetal position. That went on for about 2 minutes until goku got winded. There was no measurable amount of time between when goku stopped to take a breath and when Vegeta retaliated in form of a ki blast to the face.

He stumbled back, flailing his arms to try and maintain his balance. As he corrected himself, Vegeta was dusting his saiyan armor off. Again, goku rushed with blind fury and obvious intentions. As they were about to clash again, the unthinkable happened.

In flew two destructo disks, one headed for each giant ape that threatened to destroy the planet. Krillin had managed to get up and arouse piccolo, who moved the others away from the oozaru's. Meanwhile Krillin stayed there, risking life and limb to save his bestfriend goku, and the planet we call home. Neither saw it coming. Fighting a Godzilla sized gorilla that shoots energy blasts from it's mouth can be surprisingly detracting...

The lot of them were unconscious. Vegeta finally managed to drag himself to his space pod and punch in the coordinates, launching him off to his home world. The earth warriors eventually awoke and returned to the island, having successfully defended and saved earth.

Upon arriving at planet vegeta, the saiyan went directly to the healing chambers. At full strength he decided to go back to planet earth, thinking it was a fluke, and didn't dare tell frieza napa died and he got beat. Right before leaving, vegeta decided he was making a much needed pit stop along the way.

He headed to a nearby planet that had very great technology. Frieza ordered this race to be spared, so long as they supplied his army with equipment on demand. Vegeta had a plan that would ensure an easy victory when arriving on earth. He arrived at the planet and demanded a new space pod, one fit for the prince of the mightiest race in the universe.

He ordered it to have all of the amenities that a saiyan would need to survive indefinitely: sustainable food source, small sleeping and living quarters with a bath and fridge, and most importantly : A control panel for piloting.. No seriously, though : A large training chamber, adequate to withstand the utmost damage from the inside.
