Chapter one – The Mysterious Youth

Vegeta flew so fast the other Z warriors could barely keep up. Frieza had returned, it was beyond imagination!

"That damn Kakarot," he thought. "Frieza's ki feels stronger than ever and he's wasting his time in outer space… I don't stand a chance to defeat him on my own."

They landed half a mile away from the place Frieza's ship had landed.

"Keep your energy low," he commanded. "I don't want Frieza to find out that we're here."

They proceeded silently until they could see Frieza and several others standing around the ship.

"Who's the other guy?" Yamcha asked to no one in particular.

"King Cold," Vegeta whispered. He almost looked scared. "That's Frieza's father."

"Holy shit," Krillin said. "We are no match for that kind of power!"

"We have to try," Piccolo said grim. "We have no choice."

"Right behind you, Namek," Vegeta said sarcastically. "Were you always this suicidal?"

Gohan stepped forward in anger. "Shut up, Vegeta! Piccolo is right, we're the only ones who stand a chance. Do you want to leave all the Earthlings defenceless against those guys? You know what cruelty they're capable of!"

If looks could kill, Goku would've lost his son right now. Vegeta almost attacked Gohan, then lowered his clenched fists.

"That's exactly why I'm not really looking forward to attacking them, you insulting little insect."

"They're on the move!" Krillin exclaimed and pointed down to the valley.

"Kuso," Vegeta cursed.

"Lost your temper and powered up, huh?" Gohan teased. "You baka."
"I won't kill you for that since you've already signed your own death warrant. Pity though: you were on your way to become as annoying as that imbecile moron that you call daddy."

"Don't you dare talk about my father like that!"

"That's it, get mad. Maybe then you can block Frieza's first attack."

"Time is running out, you guys," Krillin warned them. "Could you please stop fighting each other and think of something to do instead?"

"I've got an idea: let's use you as bait!" Vegeta snapped. Krillin's face turned as white as a piece of paper.

"You do as you please," Vegeta sighed. "I'm not going to run, nor am I going to sit around and wait! If we have to die, at least let it be an honourful death."

He took off and flew right towards Frieza and King Cold.

"He's crazy," Bulma whispered.

"No lack of courage and pride here," Krillin said. "But he's not scoring any points in the intelligence department with this action."

"We have to help him," Piccolo said.

"Wait!" Gohan cried. "Look!"

A bright light flashed right between Frieza and Vegeta. Then another… and another. A young man with purple hair and a sword tied to his back seemed to appear from out of nowhere and turned around to face the unfriendly group of intruders.

"You must be Frieza," he said to Frieza.

Vegeta stopped midair and kept floating at the spot, surprised and anxious to see what was going to happen.

"I am indeed. Who the hell are you?"

"Your worst nightmare," the young man answered. "I am the Super Saiyan who is going to finish the job that Goku left me."

Frieza started to laugh. King Cold asked: "Goku? What's a Goku?"

"Oh father, shut up. Really you should try to drink less, your memory gets more dysfunctional by the day!" He turned to the young man and said: "You're no Super Saiyan, you're just bluffing. Soldiers, get rid of that baka. Kill him!"

"I'm warning you, Frieza. They don't stand a chance against me."

"Hah! We'll see about that."

The soldiers made their way to the brave warrior. Vegeta tried to follow his movements but soon found out the battle was already over.

"No way!" he thought. "That's… impossible!"

The young man put away his sword and said: "I hate to say 'I told you so', but in this case I'll make an exception."

"What the… Damn you!" Frieza yelled and attacked him, but he seemed to disappear before Frieza could lay a hand on him.

"Not so fast," the young man said, now on top of a mountain nearby. "I want to let you in on a little secret first. Watch closely."

He started to power up and transformed into a Super Saiyan. Rocks were lifted up into the air by the enormous amount of energy that was released. Vegeta had to brace himself not to fall.

"That power… He's even stronger than Kakarot! Who IS this guy? And how does he know Kakarot?"

Frieza was chopped up in small pieces in a rather short amount of time. King Cold was next and died by a strong energy blast that went through his chest.

Then the young warrior turned towards Vegeta.

"Tell your friends to follow me when they want to see Goku. He'll be landing any minute now."
