Zarbon sits alone in the ships library. It's about the only place he can get any peace and quiet these days. Things have been a lot more difficult since the monkeys have taken over. The ship has been a living hell ever since Vegeta and his bands of brutes returned from earth. For some unexplainable reason the prince of monkeys has gotten unbelievably stronger. His two idiots of friends have as well but not nearly as much as him. His power level has increased 50,000, making him three times as strong as any of the elite. Of course he was still nowhere near Frieza's power but that didn't mean he wasn't going to use his new found power over the elite.
It has been awful. They had just come back from a mission and found the whole ship taking orders from the monkeys. Of course when the Elite had heard of Vegeta's recent increase in power none of the elite took it seriously. They just tried to return to life on the ship till the next mission.
Zarbon squeezed his eyes shut remembering a very unpleasant encounter with the bratty prince.
…..
He entered his luxurious room tired from the long mission. He fully planed to take a bath and have a few hours of beauty sleep before heading to the mess hall for a meal. Imagine his surprise when he entered his room and found everything completely different. His sheets were red instead of purple, his picture was no longer on the dresser and a whole lot of other things were missing too.
On top of his bed was Vegeta. He was tossing a balls against the wall and catching it pretending to not have notice he had come in.
"What are you doing monkey, get out." He growled.
"Why would I leave my room?" He asked yawning.
Zarbon swore he saw red. "Has your little brain finally gotten hit too many times? These are my corroders."
"Not anymore." He smiled and sat up.
Angry Zarbon attached. Seconds later he was shocked to find himself sitting on the floor with a stinging cheek. His hand went up to the wound. He hadn't even seen Vegeta move. In fact the prince was still on the bed sneering at him. Quickly the elite looked around to see if anyone else was in the room.
Getting up he used his power radar to see how much Vegeta strength has actually grown. The shocked expression on his face drew a chuckle from the spiky haired man.
"This can't be. It's impossible. There is no way your power could have increase so much in such little time."
"But it has. I am a Saiyen prince, one of the strongest beings in the universe."
"I don't believe it."
Zarbon attacked again. This started a one sided fight that last half an hour. No matter how fast he was Vegeta was faster. He couldn't land a single hit but the prince had landed many. He beat him up pretty bad. He couldn't win even in his stronger form. In the end he had to transform back from lack of power.
He leaning against the wall panting. All he could do now was glare at the prince. Vegeta didn't even look like he worked up a sweat.
"You see, I am much stronger now. I can finally crush bugs like you."
"Frieza won't stand for this."
"He's the one who gave me permission."
His eye that wasn't swollen opened wide. "I don't believe you."
"It's true. Your room was way bigger than mine. All I did was ask him for it and he gave it to me. You should know that all he recognizes is power. Loyalty is nothing to him. But if you don't believe me you can ask him yourself."
Zarbon knew he was telling the truth. Frieza always did favor him over the rest. People called him Frieza's treasured pet… but never to the saiyen boys face, less they risk their lives.
"Your stuff is over there. Be thankful I didn't throw it away." Vegeta pointed to the packed bags in the corner. "My old room his empty." He said before turning away.
Mad and embarrassed Zarbon quickly got up and grabbed his belongings. He slammed the door on his way out.
Vegeta's room wasn't as big as his. It wasn't a bad room, just poorly decorated. The velvet sheets and walls were so tacky. Plus there were weights everywhere. Didn't Vegeta know they had a training room? One part of the floor was just a mat. Probably used for sparing.
Groaning Zarbon laid down on the bed. He hated the room, it smelled like monkey and not just any monkey. It smelled like that stupid prince.
…..
Two months had pass since that horrible day. The monkeys had taken so much from them. They had taken all their special privileges. They took their sparing time, dining table, and most painful of all when they had meetings it was Vegeta who stood by Frieza's side, not him.
Zarbon looked up from his book to see Cui, Dodoria, Cold, and the whole Ginyu force sit down with their lunch trays.
"Dame I can't stand those monkeys anymore." Dodoria growled.
"We can't even eat lunch without being harassed by them" Ginyu growled. 'They are so loud and annoying. Before you could just give them a good slap to shut them up but now…"
"And it's all because Vegeta, the other two aren't even that strong." Jeice added.
"They are stronger than you." Cui snapped.
Jeice lowered his head.
"Well there is nothing we can do." Zarbon flipped the page to his book. "I think I'll get some lunch now."
"No don't" Dodoira warned. "They are still in the lunch room. We all went in and once and left at the same time just to be safe."
"I refuse to be intimidated by primates." He started walking away.
"Careful." His friends warned.
Zarbon entered the lunch room. It was pretty much empty. No one liked to be in here when the Saiyens were around. Zarbon saw Veggeta, Nappa and Raditz eating. The two lesser monkeys were gabbling down food with their hands. They would stuff chunks of food down their throats without swallowing. It was disgusting.
Veggata ate just a little more dignified. Guess being royalty he was shown to eat neater. He still used his hands but at least he chews and ate slower, plus he used a napkin. He stopped though when he saw Zarbon.
The green man walked to the shaking lunch lady and asked for one of his planets native meals. A small yellow vegetable stuffed with meat.
He was deciding if he should sit down and eat but the sight of those animals made him sick. He would join his friends in the library.
Just before he walked out he heard his name being called.
"What's wrong, why won't you eat here? Are you hiding like the rest of those cowards?" Vegeta asked smirking.
With his back turned he grippe his plate. Gritting his teeth he turned towards them and offered a fake smile.
"Of course not, it just that the scenery is so unappealing it will make me lose my appetite if I stay here. Besides the view from the library is much better."
It was satisfying to see their faces turn to anger. Not wanting to risk anything he turned around and continues walking.
His comrades were still eating when he joined them.
"Any trouble?" Crui asked.
"A little but I'm fine. They won't openly attack for no reason but they eat so horribly I felt nauseous."
"I'm going on a mission soon and so are the Ginyu force, you should do the same." Dodoira told him.
"And I am too" Crui added.
"I wish I could but all the missions are filled. Everyone wants to be far away from those dirty apes. All the missions are filled. I have no reason to leave ship." Zarbon sighed.
"I can't believe Frieza is letting them act so out of control."
Zarbon sat back enjoying his meal. He smiled to himself. "I'm just waiting for the day that monkeys tried to take on Frieza on. Maybe once he gets a good beating he'll be more humble."
"I just wish that when it happens I get a front role seat." Crui laughed.
