Dragonball C
Dark Vegeta Trilogy
Prologue
Darkness, there was only darkness in every direction he looked. His vessel was moving quickly, quickly toward his destination. Deep space was not one of his favorite places, even though he had spent most his life in it, perhaps which was the reason he hated it so. It was dark, and big, bigger than he was, reminding himself that he was nothing compared to the vast dark world that was outer space. Maybe it was something less than the fact he was small compared to space, maybe it wasn't the fact he had spent most of his years in it, maybe it was the fact that somewhere out there he would find what he was looking for, yet it was still so far away.
He was one of the only ones left. There were three of them now, and he was one of them. An almost extinct race of beings, thanks to that bastard Freeza. Freeza had killed millions of saiyans that fateful day. It had been the king's fault. King Vegeta had foolishly stood up to Freeza, only to be killed by one blow from the alien tyrant. Freeza considered the act treason, and as punishment for the king's foolishness Freeza destroyed the planet along with almost all the saiyans. A handful of saiyans were spared from the destruction. Prince Vegeta had been away on a mission, Raditz had accompanied him, along with Nappa. Then there was Kakarrot, the insignificant baby boy of Burdock. He had been sent to earth to rid the planet of its inhabitants. Then there was him. The saiyan named after King Vegeta and the Prince as well. Dark Vegeta had been sent away on a mission of his own, though he was only a baby, as was Kakarrot. Dark Vegeta had been sent to a small planet to exterminate their inhabitants. Within two years of arriving at the planet, Dark Vegeta had destroyed most everyone on the planet. His space pod had detected the completion of the saiyan infant's mission and automatically flew to him. Dark Vegeta entered the vessel and it zoomed off, but not in the direction of planet Vegeta, that was gone, instead the pod flew to one of Freeza's many planets. When he returned he had no previous knowledge of the old planet, so Freeza had no trouble in tricking him.
Twenty years later, rumors went out that a surviving saiyan had defeated Freeza, and that Freeza needed mechanical attachments to keep alive. Dark Vegeta saw the new half mechanical Freeza and was surprised. He never thought that anyone could defeat Freeza, especially a saiyan. Then, Freeza went out again, to find earth and kill all of the saiyan's friends.
Many months went by when word that lord Freeza and his father had been killed on earth. Dark Vegeta knew that things would soon start slipping into chaos, so he suited up in his newly designed saiyan suite with one huge protective shoulder pad on his left shoulder, and hijacked a space pod and left.
He spent weeks traveling through space when he finally arrived at some strange planet. The inhabitants treated him friendly, and even though his saiyan instincts told him to blow them away, he did not and tried his best to be just as friendly as they. They began teaching him their ways and granting him more power than he could have imagined. Within a month he was more powerful than Freeza had been before his final battle.
He spent many more months and many years with the people of the planet, gaining even more power. He was becoming more like them now, he even enjoyed the peaceful lives these beings had; that all ended one fateful day that would send Dark Vegeta spiraling down the path to evil once again.
Freeza's soldiers had been looking for Dark Vegeta for quite some time now, and they found him on the strange planet with the peaceful beings. As they had treated Dark Vegeta with kindness, they also greeted the newcomers with smiles and friendship, but the newcomers were not here to make friends. Freeza's soldiers began a brutal slaughtering of all the people. By the time Dark Vegeta had registered what was going on, Freeza's soldiers had broken into the home he was staying in, and killed his host family. Before they could explain that they needed him, Dark Vegeta had powered to super saiyan in the heat of his rage, and he tore Freeza's soldiers apart. He looked around at the dead family on the ground and a single tear fell down his cheek as he left. He found his space pod where he had left it years before and got in. His hair went back to its normal state and he set a course for earth. He was now furious, selfish thoughts rushed through his mind. All he wanted was galactic conquest, and to achieve it, he was going to acquire the help of Kakarrot and Vegeta. If they refused, they would die.
Now here he is, getting ever so closer to earth, so close to destiny, so close to vengeance.
