Brothers Under the Sun

Written by Chibikan

Summary: Harry Potter is really a Saiyan, which explains his powerful magic, who was sent to Earth and adopted by the Potter family. His true family? None other than the royal family. He is the twin brother of Prince Vegeta. Could this be the power unknown listed in the prophecy?

Prologue

On a small, red planet in Quadrant 791, Firehawk Galaxy

In the dark of the night, in the nursery of a large palace, a lovely woman with hair that flowed like the river down her back, stood over a crib where two little newborn boys slept, hands and tails clasped together. A small tear dripped down her cheek.

A strong arm wrapped around her shoulder, prompting her to rid herself of the tear, "Is this really necessary?" she asked, reaching down a hand to stroke the face of one of the boys.

"Leek, you as well as I do, that this is the only way. Lord Frieza would simply take both of them." the King explained, "There is nothing we can do to protect Vegeta, he is the heir and must stay. But, at least we can offer Colli the chance at a better, and perhaps longer life. He will be safe."

Queen Leek nodded sadly, "I know, but at least we will have ten years with Vegeta. I will not even have three days with little Colli."

A guard knocked softly at the door, and whispered, "Your Highnesses, everything is ready."

King Vegeta fought the urge to destroy the guard for daring to interrupt them, time was of the essence. "And you are certain that no one else knows of this?"

"Yes, sire," the guard conferred, "The people have been made to believe that the young prince was born weak and sickly. When you announce tomorrow that he has died, it will be of no surprise to them."

Gently, Leek separated the twins, singing softly as they began to weep at being torn apart, a sweet song sung in the now nearly forgotten native language of their ancestors. The boys fell swiftly back into slumber. Leek passed Colli off to her mate, her husband. She watched painstakingly as the King and the guard hurried away. Sure she was alone with her pain, Leek finally allowed herself to'

collapse with anguished sobs.

Under the cloak of darkness, quickly and quiety, the King followed the guard to the private spaceport located in the palace. There, waiting for them, was a nondescript baby pod. It was common to send infants to other planets, so this would seem no different.

Gently, so as not to wake the baby, King Vegeta knelt to place the boy and secure him in the pod. The pod was on a conveyor belt which would take it to the launcher.

"Give me a moment," he ordered, meaning for the guard to leave him to his son. The guard understood and left. He set the coordinates for a little known planet, well out of the way of this Planet Trade mess, and thus far away from Lord Frieza. "Forgive me, my son," he said softly, "I only wish to protect you. I pray that someday you will be able to come home to us, but I fear that day may never come. May the gods go with you and protect you, and make you strong as you are meant to be." he pulled from his pocket a small medallion, with the Vegetian Sun crest, around a lace and placed it on the boy's neck. "To always remind you of your true heritage." he kissed the boy's forehead in a loving, fatherly manner and stood, "Farewell, my son, Prince Colli." he pressed a button that closed the pod and put the launch sequence into start mode.

The sixty seconds seemed to last a lifetime. This was a dangerous venture. At any moment they could be discovered. But finally, it was blasted into the atmosphere and far away from sight, until it was just another of the millions of twinkling stars in the universe.

July 30th 1980 Earth Years, British Countryside, Potter Manor

Lily Potter, a red-headed young witch and heartbroken mother, trudged mournfully through the dense forest surrounding her home. Only a day before, she'd given birth to her first child. It should have been a day of celebration, of rejoicing, but...the baby had come three months too soon and had been born without breath in his tiny body. No words could describe a mother's tears and no words could heal a broken heart, although her husband did try. It was enough to make her wish that she could die too.

Finally she could walk no further, her body racked with sobs as she fell to the forest floor.

Lily could have wept her very life away in this very thicket, but a small sound caught her attention. The small sound grew louder. It was the sound of a baby's cries. Lily picked herself up off the grass and moss and looked around, searching for the source of the sound.

There, only a meter away was a small baby, wrapped in nothing but a flimsy blanket. He was covered in mud and wetness from the rain that poured around them. How long had this baby been here, she wondered. How had he gotten there and who had left him there?

Her eyes fell on the lovely medallion around his neck. "What a strange symbol," she thought. Perhaps, this was a gift from the gods to replace the child they had mistakenly taken from her too early. She picked up the babe, his coal black eyes staring intensely into her emerald green ones and his long, monkey's tail wrapped around her arm.

The tail came as a surprise to her, but even more so was she surprised that she really didn't mind. It could be removed, and they could do something about the eye color. So, with new happiness filling her heart, she carried the little one back towards her home and husband.

"I will call you, Harry." she stated firmly.
