The Saiyans's Survival
Prologue...
Far in the galaxy, a planet of a known species called Saiyans, they were ruthless and destructive. The Saiyans had no regard for other lives but themselves. They were complete savages. A Frost Demon by the name of Frieza was their dictator, and under him they served. The Saiyans were powerful warriors with immense potential.
Frieza saw this potential and was afraid of it. He was afraid of that and the legends. The Legends speak of Saiyans reaching levels far beyond to that of another creature known as Majin Buu. There were two things that Frieza's father told him. Number One was that never ever trifle with the one called Beerus, for he is the god of destruction.
Number two was that never mess with a monster known as Majin Buu. These two beings have power far greater than one could ever imagine. So Frieza hearing legends that could possibly come true, for them to reach levels such as that scared him. The Legends talked of three different types of Saiyans that reached something called a Super Saiyan.
The first one was about a Super Saiyan god, in which Six Righteous Saiyans giving their energy to one Saiyan, to create such a being of power. The Saiyan's name was Yamoshi, he searched for Six Righteous Saiyans to make this possible. This was before Planet Vegeta's time, long before.
The Second Legend spoke of a Legendary Super Saiyan, whose power grew, and continues to grow far beyond one's limits. The power would reach so high until it could no more, and then the Saiyan would explode. This Saiyan would appear only once every one-thousand years.
The third legend spoke of a Super Saiyan, probably the youngest of all legends but the most believable. This legend was about a Saiyan who evolved into a warrior with bright golden aura, with incredible power. When a Saiyan transforms into this, they gain such immense power, enough to defeat Frieza.
However none of them came any time soon, still, Frieza was scared of it, so in such, he destroyed the planet Vegeta, and all its inhabitants except a few, but in this story, something else happened.
In this story, Frieza didn't destroy them, instead to his own downfall he became cocky and easily let his guard from their potential. He thought it will never happen, so the Saiyans lived on for many more years.
Unaware, a rebellion was made by a Saiyan named Bardock. Bardock had a vision one day of the Saiyan's downfall, so he tried to convince Saiyans to join him. However they did not believe him, some of them said "Even if we do, there's no way we could beat Lord Frieza! He's too strong!" they exclaimed.
So Bardock made a plan, He remembered that Saiyans become stronger each battle, especially when a near-death situation. So What if they abused that power and trained violently. At first, no one agreed, but then the King, King Vegeta, he was intrigued by the idea. King Vegeta knew it was too risky, but even with the smallest chance of Frieza destroying them was just too much.
So it was settled, They had to keep it on a low though, some Saiyans weren't as loyal to Vegeta, as they were to Frieza. So only the most trusted were allowed in on this.
The King decided to give everyone who did join partners. So they had someone to train with. Bardock trained with the King, despite Bardock being considered a low-class warrior, his power was stronger than a lot of the elites, including Nappa their General. Bardock had way more potential anyways. Bardock's son Raditz trained with Prince Vegeta. General Nappa would train with a few of the other elites.
Meanwhile, after convincing Vegeta, he checked on his son, who was originally scheduled to go to a planet named Earth, but Bardock canceled that, instead his three-year-old son stayed on Planet Vegeta. Bardock had better plans for his son, especially since at birth his power level was at one.
Which is the most pitiful level, normally when a Saiyan is at that level, they are considered low-class trash and useless, but Bardock knew that he could get his son stronger. If Kakarot was anything like his father, he would easily become stronger. So later on after he was ready to come home, Bardock gave the child what is known as Tail-Training.
A Tail for a Saiyan is what unleashes their potential, they turn into a giant ape at full moon, becoming 10x stronger than their base strength. However, it's also their weakness. Without training, anyone could easily grab it and possibly make the Saiyan passed out.
Bardock diminished this problem and trained the boy's tail by grabbing onto it and holding it for a while, while he was a baby. This also caused the child to rise in power. He jumped from 1 to 12 within three hours. Which is quite quick actually. Since then, he did it for many more months until Kakarot was 2. Kakarot went from one to one-hundred and twenty-five.
It's been three years since the day his child was born and he convinced some of the Saiyans to join. Bardock and Vegeta grew in strength greatly since that day, but it still wasn't enough at least alone.
If they could show the other Saiyans their power without Frieza's knowing, it would convince them, they could rebel and overwhelm Frieza. The only problem is if Frieza transformed. Frieza is known to be in a reduced form, and he has three transformations. The third and final transformation unlock his true power and birth form. So they would have to quickly overpower him before he does.
Two more years passed and One day arrived, when Frieza had some meetings that would require him to be away for two whole months, so to keep them in check, Frieza called the Ginyu force over.
The Ginyu force arrived quickly and Frieza left as soon as possible. Two weeks passed after that, King Vegeta and Bardock took the advantage, there was no actual way, at there current strength, that the Ginyu force could overpower this many Saiyans, especially if they all transformed.
So King Vegeta gathered up all the Saiyans with Bardock at his side. "The time has come, for us to take down Frieza. Someday he will end us but before that, we must take him down." Vegeta stated to the crowd. The Crowd became slightly in shock and then thought the King was crazy.
Vegeta continued to talk and stated "You must think, I am crazy, but I assure you I am not. We have the potential to defeat Frieza, with every battle we become stronger. We can overwhelm Frieza and his forces. Bardock and I will show you, what five years of training can accomplish." He and Bardock continued to power-up, their aura flared up and power rose. Meanwhile, nearby the Ginyu Force's scouts went off reading a power level of 60,000.
"Capt'n what do you think this means!? This can't be right!" The Red Magma spoke. "Somethings wrong, I think we should check on our little friends." The Captain replied.
The Ginyu Force flew off towards the power but then the power disappeared. Luckily for the Captain, he caught the location before it was too late.
Back at the rebellion... "The Ginyu force will probably becoming to use very soon, so I urge you to join us and transform into apes. This many of us can at least overwhelm the Ginyu force. If we don't transform now, they'll kill us all!" King Vegeta exclaimed. One Saiyan spoke out and said "Alright, your majesty." and he bowed, the rest continued and followed.
So King Vegeta created an artificial moon, and all the Saiyans stared at it. They started to become hairy, and grow. Their shape started to change and resemble that of a giant ape. They all grew quickly and along with that their power did.
The Ginyu Force were fast though but they were a bit far away. While it is a small planet, it's still big enough to make it so that it'll take at least 20 minutes before they arrive. The Saiyans were prepared, but the Ginyu force wasn't.
The Lowest of all averaged up to a few thousand in power levels.
Low-class warriors averaged around 12,000-18,000 as a great ape.
Mid Class averaged 20,000-30,000
the Elites averaged around 60,000 - 80,000
Bardock and his group were much stronger though. Bardock and King Vegeta were at 60,000 already, so their great ape form was at 600,000. They could've easily swept with the Ginyu force, but not fast enough to stop them for killing the other Saiyans.
Vegeta and Raditz were at 20,000 at base, and 200,000 at Great Ape. A few of the others were around 12,000-18,000 at base making them 120,000 - 180,000 at the great ape form. When the Ginyu force arrived, they were shocked to find all of them as Great Apes and prepared for battle already. They charged towards all of them but saw a flash of light just before they were executed.
Frieza was unaware of the situation, he knew something was off when he didn't have a status report for two weeks. Frieza had to cut his meeting early and returned. Some of the other Saiyans were informed and reported this to King Vegeta. "What should we do Sir?" One of them asked. "Wait for him, when he comes back we'll be ready. We'll prepare a fake moon in case it's daytime if not everyone transforms as soon as possible. Until then, everyone trains non-stop for two weeks. Don't sleep until 5 days before his arrival. " The King confirmed.
So everyone did, while two weeks wasn't much time, they did increase at least a little bit, not a lot but it was something. The day arrived, and Frieza knew something was suspicious he requested Audience with King Vegeta.
King Vegeta knew if he brought anyone along with him it would bring suspicion, so he had Bardock and Nappa hideout just in case. They listened on while Vegeta talked to the Frost Demon. "Yes, Lord Frieza?" King Vegeta asked as he kneeled down. "The Ginyu Force hadn't given me a status update for quite awhile while I was away," Frieza asked quite suspiciously.
"Now that you mention it, my Lord, I haven't seen them for two weeks. Is that why you have come back earlier?" The King turned his head back up as he asked Frieza this. Frieza sitting in his seat turned back to Vegeta. "Well, It seemed like they met quite the foe. Their scouters had happened to read a power level of 600,000. Do you think it was a malfunction, Vegeta?" Frieza asked the King.
"That would be impossible for someone to achieve that power. So yes I do think it's a malfunction." King Vegeta replied calmly. King Vegeta was in a slight intense situation. Something told him that Frieza had a hunch, and it started distressing the King.
"Well, they happened to have had their communication on before it read the power and I heard a very similar voice to that of you. Were you maybe perhaps, the one who killed them?" Frieza asked, becoming even more suspicious. "I assure you, Lord Frieza, I can't even fight against Dodoria and Zarbon." The King reassured.
"Oh is that so?" Frieza replied, he just knew it was them, so he quickly shot a death beam, If Vegeta dodged it. It confirms it, if not, then it really was a malfunction. King Vegeta accidentally easily dodged by accident, his instincts reacted without him meaning too. He saw Frieza's face in shock and enraged.
"I knew it! You stupid monkeys!" Frieza yelled. Bardock and Nappa who were outside, heard what happened, Bardock told Nappa to warn the other Saiyans, and Bardock swooped in.
Bardock knocked Frieza off guard for a sec, the King and Bardock knew it wouldn't take just a few seconds for him to get back up. So they quickly created the moon and transformed. Frieza tried to stop the transformation but it was too late and soon all of the Saiyans came out. "NO... NO!" Frieza shouted as he tried to get away but there was too many.
Bardock pushed Frieza away so that all of the Saiyans can aim for him better and they all shot kiai blasts at that tyrant, who died from all of the blasts. It overwhelmed him and finished him off.
King Vegeta and Bardock realized that felt a bit quick and was a little bit easier than they thought. Frieza became too scared, shocked and let his guard down. That became his downfall.
It may have been over for now, but there were more Frost Demons, stronger than Frieza, but they didn't have to worry for now, as it wouldn't reach anyone for a long time.
The Saiyans celebrated and cheered King Vegeta. King Vegeta stated that it wasn't just him, If it weren't for Bardock, this would have never happened.
9 years passed since then and to this day they still train. Their power grew but was not enough. King Vegeta stepped down, and Bardock became King. However, the destruction of Frieza caused chaos, many planets took advantage of the situation. They claimed parts of Vegeta and their own planets back.
The Saiyans however quickly took the situation to their hands and through Bardock's leadership, they easily took care of it. The Planet who made the armor for the Saiyans easily accepted under certain conditions. King Vegeta was fine with these conditions.
They were allowed to live without being ruled as long as they made new armor for the Saiyans every few months. Soon the chaos died down, and everything was taken care of. Peace for the Saiyans remained for the Nine years that passed.
Bardock stepped down, and a fight was proposed to decide the next King.
