Hello my faithful readers, I am here to tell of a story that has been on my list of planned ones for such a long time. I finally got inspired to write this tale of survival, and this story that has proven to be one of my harder stories to write due to the fact that I had been working on countless others these past few years.
Now that I have the mindset needed to start this, I am proud to announce the beginnings of this story that will have loss and sorrow, but in time delve into reassurance and triumph. In this universe, this story alone will tell of a fate that has been told in other ways and forms, but the difference in mine will soon show itself.
Thus, I will now leave it to you all to discover the truth for yourselves. If you do not like the idea, feel free to ignore it or leave feedback. I am rather open to everything, so please do not hesitate.

Lost Sanctuary
Prologue-Broken Family
There are many countless worlds with many forms of alien life. Some struggle in the endless wars while others remain undiscovered for many lifetimes. Among these, there is one that had been condemned to death; however, it had been spared the destruction that many of the most valuable ones had faced.
This planet was the system of Sol, the planet Earth. It is there that the very planet condemned to its own destruction would soon come full circle. That an incomplete conquering would soon reduce it to the very hollow desolate place that it should have been when the first signs of trouble had fallen to the planet. Though this danger itself had not taken its hold due to an incident that had prevented its own cataclysm, there was another that planned to find and assure that the first one finish what he had failed to do.
One being that would not leave the job incomplete much longer.
It had been over twenty years since the planet had been condemned to a fate that the other planets picked out had shared. Twenty-three years if one was to ask exactly how long was Earth had been spared from harm. Still, it had been far too long of a time for such a simple-minded and brainwashed warrior to spend on a rock that held no actual value besides the natural resources upon it being used by its inhabitants. The ship's doors hissed open and a humanoid with spiked up hair walked off of the ship.
One would have mistaken this man as a human had it not been for the tail that swished silently behind him; a tail that was thought to have been a benefactor of a reversal of evolution. Yet, he stood tall, wore alien garments that were from an advance race compared to those who actually lived on the planet. A beeping sound came from the device on his face, the eye diverted to the images and complexity of data that crossed the very tinted window that had pointed towards a source that laid out somewhere on the planet. Who was this man and why had he come to this planet? What did he seek in such a world that could not be found anywhere else?
'He's failed…' The male thought to himself silently to himself, the furred object lingering behind him snapped in the air before coiling around his waist in an impatient manner. 'I will ensure that you pay for this Kakarrot… you have betrayed your race and failed to carry out your mission…'
His feet drifted off of the ground, almost though he was defying gravity's hold upon the planet before flying away at a rapid speed. An aura of pure white surrounded his form; almost though shielding his form from the battering winds that threatened to tear at his body. This very power he manifested allowed his eyes to stay open during the flight towards his untold and otherwise unnamed destination.
In another place upon Earth nestled within the mountains laid a lone house where a man whose hair defied gravity walked towards the house with the firewood he gathered. A woman had been waiting for his return along with her son who had been spending his time studying.
"Goku, you can get more firewood later. Besides, I'm sure your friends are waiting for you," the female smiled warmly at her husband.
"Of course," Goku smiled and set the last of the firewood down. "Are you all set then Chi-chi?"
"Yes, I just hope that everyone minds their manners around Gohan," Chi-chi looked down at the young boy who sported a tail similar to the mystery man who had come to Earth. Yet unlike this man, he had a more innocent expression on his face; almost though he was a native to this blissful planet.
"I'm sure everyone will get along great with our son," Goku grinned before he called for Nimbus. The cloud came from the heavens before he climbed on. The little boy clung to his mother's chest as she climbed upon the strange cloud. It supported all of them oddly enough before it flew off into the heavens.
If anything, it was a good thing Chi-chi had changed her mind about going to visit his friends since she was always pent-up in the house tending to chores or worrying about how much food to prepare for her husband. It seemed like the perfect day for an outing for the family; one that they had no idea probably would perhaps be their last one together.
Within a barren wasteland, a lone figure wore a white cape spared of any blood or wear fluttered within the humid breeze that seemed to come out of nowhere. Unlike the other life forms on this planet, he had green skin and wore a purple outfit that seemed to cling to his form rather well. It was rather strange for anyone, including him, to be in this horrid place and yet, he was there by himself somehow surviving nature's worst on his own. Had it not been for an alien power, he would have continued this peaceful meditation undisturbed; however, he suddenly aligned himself, looking towards the heavens in alarm visibly shaken.
'No way, is that Son?' the mysterious man thought silently to himself; wondering what was about to happen. He had no time to ponder these questions when the answer came to him by the mysterious man who had crashed landed not long ago.
"What is a Namekian doing here?" the stranger spoke out loud. He studied him as the green warrior slid into a fighting stance. "No matter, I am looking for Kakarrot."
"Kakarrot? I don't know anyone by that name," the green male spoke in a gruff voice.
"Well, if you don't know him, then I have no use for you," the stranger prepared a blast and was posed to fire it when the device suddenly beeped erratically. "Hm, seems you get to live another day Namek." The warrior flew off, leaving the green male to his thoughts.
'W-what the hell just happened? That guy's even more powerful than Son!' The male thought silently. 'Whoever he is, I have a bad feeling about this…'
"Goku! It's been such a long time!" A blue-haired female cried out in pure bliss.
"Yes it has Bulma!" Goku grinned while gently holding Gohan in his arms.
"I just hope you that all of you behave," Chi-chi glared at the old man and the monk who looked back at her nervously.
"Of course we'll behave Chi-chi, jeez, you give us too much credit," the monk spoke in such a frightened voice.
"Where's Yamcha anyway?" Goku asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell him about this get together because he cheated on me the other day…" Bulma huffed angrily. "It doesn't matter, I'm more interested in that kid you two have there."
"This is our son," Goku proudly announced.
"Y-your son?" Everyone except for Gohan and Chi-chi exclaimed.
"Wow… I didn't see that coming," the old man muttered.
"It's bound to happen eventually Master Roshi," the monk smiled happily.
"So Krillin, how's your training been going?" Goku asked his best friend.
"It's been going well," Krillin nodded.
"That's… huh?" Goku paused in mid-speech and looked behind him.
"Goku? What is it?" Krillin asked.
"Someone's coming… is it Piccolo?" Goku examined the power. "No, it's much stronger… even stronger than me…"
"W-what?" Everyone else looked at the warrior almost though he was crazy.
"A-actually, I feel it now too…" Krillin added. "Man, that can't be Piccolo…"
"Chi-chi, you and Gohan get into the house right now," Goku told his wife. Chi-chi picked up her son and started towards the house; however, a second later, the house suddenly exploded, sending debris raining down. Thankfully, neither Chi-chi nor Gohan was hurt, but the young boy began to cry from the incident.
"Kakarrot, you idiot, what the hell have you done with yourself? You were supposed to clear this planet," the mysterious male yelled at the warrior.
"Kakarrot?" Goku repeated, almost dumbstruck. "Why would I want to clear this planet?"
"You idiot! That's your job! You of all people should know it's a Saiya-jin's duty to do his mission!"
"S-Saiya-jin?" Goku uttered this foreign word.
"Yes, we are a proud warrior race and I have come for you Kakarrot," the warrior continued. "If it helps, maybe this ought to convince you…" With one movement, his tail untwined from around his waist, surprising every onlooker on the beach.
"Y-you have a tail just like I used to!" Goku exclaimed.
"Used to? Then you let these pitiful creatures amputate it from your body? You're even more of an idiot than I thought. No matter. I, Prince Vegeta, will ensure that you are brought back into our fold."
"You're kidding!" Goku growled and slid into a fighting stance.
"Resistance is futile… I will bring you back to our planet whether you like it or not." With a movement faster than Goku could anticipate, he suddenly felt pain for a fleeting moment hit him in the back of his neck. His eyes widened in shock before shutting, his body falling earthward before hitting the sandy beach.
"No! Daddy!" Gohan got out of his mother's arms and ran towards his fallen father that laid motionless on the beach.
"Gohan! Don't!" Chi-chi yelled frantic while the others had to hold the mother of the child back.
"You hurt my daddy!" Gohan yelled at Vegeta. "How could you? He didn't do anything to you!"
Vegeta wasted no time knocking out the boy as well before he joined the same fate as his father.
"For Kakarrot and the boy, I spare your planet for the time being," Vegeta told them both. "However, once Kakarrot's programmed again, do not expect him to grant you all the same mercy."
With those words said, Vegeta grabbed both of them and took off into the heavens, leaving Chi-chi crying for the loss of her husband and son and the others a lost warrior who had proven to be a worthy adversary of Earth's survival that would soon be its worst enemy.
To Be Continued…
