I hope you enjoy my story. I know that this didn't happen on Planet Vegeta, but I hope you still like it. P.S., this is not a crossover story with DC comics. The reason I include Starfire and her race because I thought it would be cool to include her in my story. Anyways, enjoy!

Prologue

Long ago, in another parallel universe; there was a planet across the galaxy called Planet Vegeta. This planet held the universe's mightiest warrior race in all of existence known as the Saiyans. They were intelligent, strong, fast-learners, and can endure up to anything that was thrown at them. This race had it all: from their predator instinct to their intellectual minds. All Saiyans had two things in common; they all had spiky black hair and black eyes. Every Saiyan had the features of an earthling, but the one thing that made them stand out was their monkey-like tails. They believe that their tails are the key to unlocking a Saiyan's true power. A Saiyan born without a tail would have been a laughing matter on Planet Vegeta.

Once inhabited with the Tuffles, a race of intelligent beings, a long time ago; the Saiyans were cast out from the Tuffle's territory. This act allowed the Saiyans to adapted to their environment and used that knowledge to kill all the Tuffles. In addition to the genocide, the Saiyans quickly learned how to use the technology built by the Tuffles and soon started to create their own civilization. And over time, they soon discovered the power to create energy and the ability to fly.

But just like any other race, there was a legend among the Saiyans. It was foretold that a Legendary Saiyan will emerge and will wreak havoc across the universe. This Legendary Saiyan is known to be unstoppable, causing death and destruction wherever they are. But many believe this was only a myth; there was no being in the universe that was that powerful.

However, there were beings so powerful; they can destroy an entire plant in the matter of seconds. These beings were known as the Cold Empire. This empire was controlled by a clan that came from a long line of brutish tyrants and was feared throughout the galaxy. When the Cold Empire saw the Saiyans at first, they thought that they would make a fine collection to their army. When they spoke to the Saiyans, they all agreed to aid the Cold Empire on their quest for conquering the entire galaxy for years to come. With the aid from this clan, the Saiyans quickly conquered hundreds of planets. And as they did that; they were becoming stronger.

As they were claiming planets, they encounter a particular one that was different from the rest. This planet was known as Tamaran. The Tamaraneans were orange-skinned humanoid people who descended from a feline-like race. This race was also known to have been excellent warriors. Instead of fighting against the Saiyans, the Tamaraneans greeted them with open arm and welcomed them to their planet. In respect to the Tamaraneans, the Saiyans decided to spare their world in exchange for using their planet as a place for relaxation. Once the Tamaraneans agree, the two races formed a friendship that will last a lifetime.

Many years went by, and as the Saiyans progressed in strength, one was becoming powerful than the rest. This Saiyan was named Bardock. Since he was a Lower-Class Warrior compare to the Elite-Class, it was rare that a Saiyan would be retested to determine what class they belong to. However, he felt comfortable where he was as a Saiyan. One time on a solo mission; as he was battling creatures more powerful than him, he was starting to lose. As the creatures closed in, Bardock released a large amount of energy and transformed. When he killed the creatures, he felt power beyond anything he couldn't image. But unlike his previous transformation, where he can turn into a giant ape that was as tall as a building under the full moon, this transformation only changed the color of his hair into golden yellow and his eyes emerald green. But for his sake and his pride, he decides to keep this transformation a secret from his friends and from his fiancé.

Before anyone would notice it; their proud race was about to end by the hands of the clan who aided them. As Bardock left with his squad to conquer another planet; his son was born into the Saiyan world. Sadly to say that Bardock's wife died while giving birth to their son. As the Saiyan doctors examined the new born, they notice that Bardock's son was born without a tail. As they were analyzing the child's power level, it showed that he had the power level of one.

One of the Saiyan doctor laughed and said in a humorous way "Can you believe this? Bardock's son is born without a tail!"

The other doctor also replied "I know, right? And look as his power level! It's only a one! That's what we expect from a Lower-Class Saiyan!"

As the doctors were laughing, the newly born child started to cry wildly.

One of them said "At least he knows how to cry. My god, can he shut up!"

The other examined the child and said "That's no ordinary cry. That's the cry of a warrior."

"Doesn't matter," the first doctor said, "Where do you what to send this infant to?"

As the second doctor was looking in the computer, he said "There is a planet that is past our galaxy that would be suited for this one."

"What's it called?" the first doctor asked.

The second doctor replied "A planet called E-arth."

He then said to the first doctor "Look, I don't make the names here."

"Fine by me," the first doctor said, "Just inform Bardock about his son."

Meanwhile, as Bardock and his squad, that contain two male Saiyans and one female, were finished conquering a planet; he got a call from Planet Vegeta from his scouter on his left ear.

He then said to his squad "I'll be right back. Take five."

As he walked away, a short fat Saiyan by the name of Hercule said "Who you think it is?"

The female Saiyan by the name of Videl said "Didn't you hear? Our captain's wife was suppose to give birth to their child today."

The last Saiyan was a tall man by the name of Achilles said "It is his first born. If anyone's excited, it's Bardock."

When Bardock returned, he said "Time to move out."

As he walked by, Videl asked "So? What's the news?"

Bardock replied "I don't want to talk about it."

"What happened?" Hercule asked.

Becoming a little frustrated, Bardock replied "I don't want to talk about it."

Then Achilles said "Come on man. Tell us if it was a boy or a girl."

In rage, Bardock said "I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!"

When he said that, he released a large amount of energy that sends his squad flying away from him. When they got up, there were both terrified and surprised at Bardock for having that amount of power in him.

"Holy crap," Hercule said in a stunning way, "When did you get this powerful?"

"Yeah," Videl asked, "How did you do it?"

When a depressed look came across Bardock's face, Achilles asked "Bardock, what's wrong?"

Bardock finally replied "My wife died when she gave birth to our son."

"What?" Videl asked.

"And that's not the worse part," Bardock said.

"What is then?" Achilles asked.

He replied "My only son: was born without a tail."

When everyone was shocked, Hercule said "Born without a tail? That's never happened for thousands of years!"

When everything stood quiet, Achilles said "So, what now? Are you worried that you'll be a laughing stock in Planet Vegeta?"

Bardock replied "It's not me I'm worry about. It's my son. All his life, he will be made fun of for not being the Saiyan he was born to be."

Hercule then said "But with the power you have, then you and you son can be move up the Elite Class."

"But that's not the life I want, Hercule," Bardock said, "If I do get moved up, then I won't have the time to spend with my son at all."

He then said "Besides, I am proud to be where I am at. If anyone disagrees with that, then they would have to answer with me."

His squad smiled and Achilles said "You were always the motivator."

Suddenly, Bardock's head started to ache in pain. As his squad crowded around him, the pain was gone.

"What's wrong, captain?" Videl asked.

Bardock replied in a frighten way "We have to go back to Planet Vegeta."

Everyone was confused and Hercule asked "Why?"

"I fear something is wrong," Bardock replied, "Everyone, to your space crafts."

When he said that, the four of them immediately got into their own space craft, which was a one-man pod, and started to travel to Planet Vegeta. Since Planet Vegeta was across the solar system, it would take about four days to arrive to the planet. Once they landed on Planet Vegeta and got out of there pods, they saw their planet practically destroyed. Houses were burned down, their homes were destroyed and there were dead Saiyans lying around. As they flew around their planet, all they saw was more death and destruction.

When they landed on the ground, Bardock said "Who is responsibly for this many deaths?"

Out of nowhere, a voice said in a dreadful way "Well, well, well. Look at what we have here."

When the four of them turned to see who it was, to their surprise, it was none other than Frieza: Lord of the Cold Empire. Frieza was a alien that was 5' tall and had white skin with purple abs, shoulders, shins, forearms and had a large purple stripe on his head. He also had red-dead eyes, red thin lips, had three toes in each of his feet and a long tail.

Hercule went up to Frieza and said "Lord Frieza, what happened here?"

Frieza replied by saying "Let me show you."

He then raised his right hand, pointed at him with his index finger and fires a beam of purple energy into Hercule's heart. As Hercule fell to the floor, Videl rushed up to him and tried to help him. But it was too late; Hercule died on the spot.

With a raging look, Videl said "You will pay for this!"

As she charged at Frieza in intense speed, Bardock said "No Videl, stand your ground!"

But with her mind clouded by rage, Videl swung her left fist at Frieza thinking it would hit him. However, Frieza stepped out of her way and swung his tail right into Videl's neck. With the strength and speed delivered from Frieza's tail, he broke Videl's neck and fell dead.

Frieza then looks over at Bardock and Achilles and said "So, which one of you Saiyan monkeys is next?"

Bardock then turned to Achilles and said "Achilles, take your ship and get out of here. I'll try to hold him off."

Achilles replied in a frighten way "But Bardock, he's too strong for you. You don't have a chance with him."

In rage, Bardock said "I'm your captain, dammit! And I order you to get off this planet!"

Frieza, hearing this, said "I'm afraid no one's leaving. But if you want to see your family, then I can arrange that."

Frieza then raised his right hand, points at Achilles with his index finger, fires a small ball of purple energy and implants it into Achilles' body.

As Achilles was floating, Frieza said "I hope you're not afraid of heights."

When Frieza raised his hand, he sends Achilles flying up into the air.

Bardock then said in a raging way "No Frieza! Don't do it!"

As Frieza was closing his hand, Achilles yelled "Bardock!"

Once Frieza closed his hand, there was a huge explosion that blew Achilles inside out.

"Oh well," Frieza said with a devious smile, "When I was killing the rest of your kind, even in their pathetic ape form, they didn't have the strength to kill me."

As Bardock grew furious, Frieza taunted and said "What's the matter? You think you can defeat me? You're nothing more than a Low-Class Warrior."

Bardock then said "Why Frieza? Why are you doing this?"

Frieza replied "I was tired of you inferior race. So, I killed every last Saiyan on this pathetic planet."

"What?" Bardock said, "You even killed the infants?"

Frieza gave off an evil smile and replied "I have to make sure no Saiyan was left alive."

As Frieza said that, Bardock started to become more furious. Not only Frieza killed his friends, but also the fact that he also killed his only son.

Bardock then said in a raging way "YOU…HEARTLESS…MONSTER!"

As he said that, he let out a loud shout and then transformed where his hair turned golden yellow and his eyes emerald green. Frieza was a bit surprise that there was another transformation that the Saiyans can do.

"That's very impressive," Frieza said, "But not as impressive as your Great Ape transformation."

Bardock gave Frieza a dreadful look and said "Frieza, you'll pay for this!"

Suddenly, Bardock disappeared then reappeared in front of Frieza and punched him in the stomach with all his might. With that impact received from Bardock, Frieza felt intense pain and felt like he was going to faint. However, it's going to take more than that to take down the powerful being in the galaxy. As he recovered from Bardock's attack, he then punched Bardock with his right hand towards Bardock's left side of his face. With that impact, it sends Bardock flying through the air and into an abandon house.

As Frieza started to walk away, he said "Pathetic Saiyan. I can't believe he had this much power."

Suddenly, there was a huge blast from the house and then Bardock appeared before Frieza. Without any warning, he then charged at Frieza and started to throw punches at him. As Bardock kept hitting Frieza, he grabbed Frieza's tail and hurled him across the sky. When Frieza stopped himself; Bardock appeared behind Frieza, clutched his hands together, whacked Frieza across the back side of his head and sends him crashing into the ground. After a few seconds, the ground started to shake and Frieza come out from the ground. He flew towards Bardock and started to throw a few punches to him. But no matter how many punches Frieza throws at him, Bardock shrugs it off like he's not taking any damage at all. When Frieza tried to kick him with his right leg, Bardock blocks it with his left arm.

Bardock then said "Now I see why you wanted to destroy my race."

When he pushed Frieza's leg out of the way, he said "It's because we were getting stronger and you were afraid that we might overthrow you."

In rage, Frieza said "You think that you monkeys can defeat the mighty Frieza? You sorely mistaken!"

When Frieza was about to make another attack, Bardock slapped Frieza across the face that sends him flying away from him.

Bardock continued by saying "You fear that the Legendary Saiyan will emerge and destroy you and your devious clan once and for all!"

Frieza then said "Who do you think you are?"

Bardock replied "I am a Low-Class Saiyan: Bardock the Legendary Saiyan!"

When he said that; Frieza, who was quivering in fear, said "And soon, you will die with this planet!"

After he said that; he raised his left hand, a ball of black and red energy appeared and hurled it into the ground.

"What have you done, Frieza?" Bardock asked in a furious way.

Frieza laughed and replied "In a few moments, the sphere will enter the planet's core. When that happens, this planet will be destroyed!"

He then raised his right hand, took out his index finger, fires a flash of purple energy and hits Bardock in the face. Once he did that, Frieza tried to get a free getaway.

Frieza then said "Once this planet explodes, there will be no more Saiyans left in this universe!"

Suddenly, he felt a pull in his left leg. When he looked down, he saw Bardock grabbing hold of him.

Bardock then said in a raging tone "If this planet dies, then you will die along with it!"

When they started to fight again, the energy released by Frieza started to take effect on Planet Vegeta. Mountains started to crumble, water was evaporating, and cracks started to appear on the planet's surface. And beyond the cracks was molten lava exploding onto the surface of the planet. As Frieza and Bardock were starting to get weaker, the planet was on the brink of destruction. Part of Bardock's armor was already destroyed and Frieza's body was suffering heavy wounds. In a flash instant, Frieza raised his left hand and fired a beam of purple energy into Bardock's heart.

As he was falling to the ground, Frieza turned away and said "Now that the last of the Saiyans is dead, I can finally get off this pathetic planet."

When he was about to leave, he felt a tug on his tail. When he turned, he saw Bardock still alive.

"You think you can kill me like that?" he asked.

In horror, Frieza said "That's impossible! You shouldn't be alive!"

In a slight movement, Bardock threw Frieza near the ground where Frieza stopped himself from falling into the lava pit. In the distance, Bardock charged his energy blast into his right arm, ready to throw it at Frieza.

When Frieza looked up and saw Bardock; he raised both his hands, placed them together with the palms facing towards Bardock and said in a raging way "YOU PATHETIC MONKEY! NO ONE CAN DEFEAT THE MIGHTY FRIEZA! NO ONE!"

When he said that, he fires a large beam of dark purple energy and targeted Bardock.

As the beam closed in, Bardock said in a valor way "This is for my race, my friends and for my son! And to all the people who fear you! This is your end!"

When he said that, he pushed his right hand towards Frieza and fires a massive wave of golden energy and conquered Frieza's attack. In the moment of fear; the golden energy hits Frieza, sends him flying into the lava pit and caused a huge explosion with Frieza in it. Knowing he was going to die, Bardock started to remember all the memories he had and regretted one thing: seeing his son for the first time.

"If only I seen my son earlier," Bardock said in a depressed way.

He then laughed for a bit and said "Maybe I'll see him in the afterlife."

When the planet was about to explode; with his dying breathe, Bardock said in a victorious way "FOR THE SAIYANS!"

Once he said that, the planet finally exploded and sends massive craters everywhere. And with that tragic event, the Saiyans were no more.

Days went by since Planet Vegeta was destroyed and some of Frieza's men were near the destroyed planet looking for their leader. On their mothership, everyone was trying their best to find him. Suddenly, they all found a life reading near them. As they observe closer; they found that is was none other than Frieza! However, his body was badly damaged: his left arm was ripped off, his lower body was missing and worse of all, his right side of his face was blown off. With no time to spare, they immediately rescued Frieza from the depth of space and placed him in a healing chamber where he is expected to make a full recovery.

When his eye opened, he saw someone near the chamber and he said in a fainted way "Where…am…I?"

The doctor that was near him replied "Lord Frieza, try to hold your strength until after the operation."

Frieza, wide awaken, said "What operation?"

When he tried to move, the only thing he can move was his right arm.

"What the hell happened to me?" he asked in a furious way.

The doctor replied "It seems that you survive the explosion. However, you manage to take a heavy toll while staying on the planet. But don't worry; we'll soon replace them with cybernetic parts."

In rage, Frieza said "Were there any more survivors?"

"No, my lord," the doctor replied, "You were the only one."

Frieza calmed himself and said "Good, let's get going."

"What a minute, my lord," the doctor said, "What about the Saiyans?"

"I don't care about them any more!" Frieza replied, "Besides we won't see them anymore."

"Why is that?" the doctor asked.

Frieza gave off a devious smile and replied "They are all but forgotten memories."

However, for the first time in his life: Frieza was wrong. Before he invaded Planet Vegeta, there was a pod that was launched earlier that day. Even as we speak, that pod was heading to place where they can call home. The pod not only contained the last of the Saiyans, but the hope for the entire galaxy. For that pod contained Bardock's new-born son. And the planet that he was heading to was none other than the planet Earth. Once the pod arrived on Earth, it landed in a forest and Bardock's son started to cry wildly. As the child was crying, a young couple heard the cry and followed it.

Once they found the pod that contained the child, the woman said "Oh dear!"

When she figured out how to open it, she grabbed the child and said in a caring way "There, there, there."

As she said that, the child then started to calm down. The man then started to look around for someone who was involved with the child, but found nothing.

The man then said "He must have been abandon."

The woman looked at the man and said "Sweetheart, do you think this is a sign? After all these years for praying for a child, you think someone answer our prayers?"

The man replied "If they had, then it's a miracle."

As the couple looked at the child, the woman said "What do you think we should call him?"

The man grabbed the child in a gentle way and said "I always like the name Gohan."

The child then started to laugh and the woman said "I think he likes it."

The man holds the child close to his face and said "Then from now on, you will be called: Gohan."

When he said that, the child then gave the man a gentle kick and then he replied "Whoa. This one's feisty."

The woman laughed and said "He sure is. And I hope he grows up to be a fine, healthy young man."

Glad you all enjoy that. Review how you all like it so far and I will continue my story.
