Annie chapter 1

The small craft careered from side to side, leaving a path of dark acrid smoke in its wake. Inside the craft a single man desperately struggled to regain control, his long black hair falling loose around his face the yellow and blue highlights in his soft hair flashing red as the danger light flicked on and off. It was no use, try as he might he couldn't fix the damage done to the ship, he was going to crash land. His tiny craft had hit a rouge asteroid and he was free falling to god only knows where. He reached for the communications radio above his head

"Control, control, this in Annie, come in control," He barked into the small device, the only answer he got was the fuzz of static, he was either out of range or the comms were cut in the collision. Shit. He tried his best to stay calm but it was difficult, this was his first mission alone and he had messed it up, he didn't even get to the planet he was supposed to be checking out before he was knocked off course. He was a total failure and he was never going to hear the end of this, if he ever made it back that was.

He strapped himself tightly into his seat, he couldn't avoid the inevitable impact but he could make himself as safe as possible. He hit the button that turned on the back thrusters, even if it slowed him down a tiny bit before he hits he might survive this. Annie braced himself, that was all he could do.

…..

Vegeta sensed the strange energy long before it entered the planets orbit, he first decided to ignore it, let Kakarot or piccolo deal with it, but the closer it got the more it felt decisively…. Saiyan. There was no other creature that gave off that kind of energy, strong, dark, determined and proud, Vegeta could recognise a Saiyan power level anywhere. Vegeta had to go check this out. He shrugged into his black leather jacket and strolled out into the warm evening sun. he lifted his flawless face to the sky, the breeze felt refreshing. With his eyes closed he focused on the unknown energy, whoever this person was, they were strong, not a fraction of Vegeta's power, but strong none the less. Vegeta could feel it moving at an alarming rate, he needed to try and pin point the exact location where it would land, at that speed, he doubted anything would survive the crash, Saiyan or otherwise. Vegeta went back inside and slipped a senzu bean into his back pocket, just in case.

Vegeta arrived just in time to see a small spherical craft plummet into the ground, throwing a wall of dirt into the air around it, it looked like a Saiyan space pod. The power level inside dropped fast, nearly disappearing, but not quite. Vegeta wouldn't usually care if the creature inside lived or died, but if this was a Saiyan, it would be advantageous for him to keep it alive. He rushed forward covering his mouth with his t-shirt to try and avoid breathing in the hot dust that surrounded him, it didn't work. The pungent air filled his lungs causing him to choke and splutter, but he didn't let that stop him. By the time he reached the small pod tears were streaming down his cheeks. He saw a bloodied and broken figure laying at an awkward angle amongst the debris, he was clearly a Saiyan, maybe early twenties, and he was very nearly dead.

Vegeta knew he shouldn't really move this boy, he looked as though he had a lot of broken bones, but given the circumstances he doesn't see many other options. He picks the boy up as gently as he can, the movement makes the boy flinch and moan in pain.

"Shhh its ok" Vegeta tried to sooth him, reassurances were not his strong point. The boy moans again, it's a sound that makes Vegeta's pulse quicken, the sound of a Saiyan groaning in agony has always been a turn on for the prince. The boys power is fading fast, Vegeta quickens his pace and gets the boy to a safe area. He crouches down and places the boy on the ground, still supporting his head with one of his arms. With his free hand Vegeta fished the Senzu bean from his back pocket, good job he did bring it, this boy literally has moments left. He pushes the bean between the boys full parted lips and uses his hand to move his jaw, making him chew then swallow the bean. Vegeta can do nothing more than watch and wait, hoping he wasn't too late.

…..

Annie felt himself being pulled back into consciousness, he felt as though he were floating. He heard a voice, a velvety, musical voice, it was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. It spoke to him

"Are you awake, boy?" it asked in its celestial tones. Annie was almost certain he was dead and this is what heaven sounded like, he forced his heavy eyelids open and his suspicions were confirmed, looking down over him was an angel, maybe even a god. He was the most faultless being Annie had ever had the pleasure to gaze upon. The scowl on the stranger's face done nothing to take away from his beauty.

"Am I dead? Are you an angel?" Annie asked still somewhat in a daze. The angel chuckled darkly.

"I've been called many things before but never an angel, and you're lucky I was here or you would be dead," The perfect man answered in his dreamlike accent. Annie looked at the man a little harder, barely believing such attractiveness could be real, surely, he must be dreaming. He stared open mouthed at the man whose arms he was currently lying in, he was perfection personified, his fiery mane of jet black hair framing his immaculate facial features. His eyes, dark as midnight and deep as oceans, stare back at Annie. His pointy nose cute as a button, Annie felt as though he could spend the rest of eternity gazing at this godlike man.

"You gonna introduce yourself or you just gonna gape at me all day?" He asked, a smug smirk adorning his face.

"Oh…. s…. sorry" Annie stutters feeling his cheeks blush as he realised how silly he must have looked

"I'm Annie," He finally pulls himself together enough to speak properly "Where am I?" He asks remembering his terrible predicament

"You are on planet earth, you are safe here. You're a Saiyan right?" The angel asked

"Y…yes," Annie answered, shocked that this wonderful stranger knew what race he was. Not many people had heard of Saiyan's before, there were very few of them left after Freiza destroyed their planet, Annie was one of the few that were off planet that day.

"I am Vegeta, prince of Saiyan's, why did you come here,"

Annie gasps, he had heard rumours that prince Vegeta was alive, of course he didn't believe them, there was no way in a million years Freiza would let the prince live, but here he was. There was no mistaking his regal poise and elite power level. This was Prince Vegeta.

Annie struggles out of his prince's grasp, feeling suddenly rude for the way he has behaved, addressing his prince as though he were a common meeting. He bowed to Vegeta and dropped to one knee

"Your highness, I thought you were dead" He says, looking up at the beautiful prince

"Hmmm, and I thought most of my race were dead, tell me, are there more of our kind I don't know about?"

"Yes, my prince, I come from a colony of maybe fifty Saiyan's living on the planet Zaro, they would be pleased to hear that you still live,"

Vegeta nods, he notices the boys battered uniform, he is a soldier.

"On your feet soldier," Vegeta orders and Annie complies immediately. This makes Vegeta smile, he wonders what other commands his new friend will happily obey

"You must be hungry?" Vegeta asks

"Starving," Annie answers with a nod

"Come," Vegeta says simply, he is pleased to see that Annie follows without question. He is very obedient indeed, Vegeta feels a shiver run up his spine, oh he couldn't wait to see just how obedient Annie could be.
