AN: I don't own Dragonball Z Simple Plan or their song Me against the world.
"Speaking" Singing
The long haired warrior shivered slightly as he limped down the hallway ignoring the cold remarks and catcalls. His armor slammed into his chest with every movement and he struggled to keep from screaming out his pain. But his face remained impassive. They were yelling their insults, sneering at his back about worthless monkeys.
He closed his eyes for a moment and allowed his feet to carry himself forward. He was starting to believe what they were saying about his race. Weak…barbaric…useless… The warrior started to shiver once more, no longer from the pain coursing from his chest, nor from the cold of the ship. Now he was shivering in anger. None of the words were proper descriptions of his race.
Now he paused outside the door to the room he had begun to call home. He pushed the door open and walked in slowly. The walls were the same grey as the rest of the ship, another way to conform them.
The warrior looked around the small room and saw the hulking figure of the body guard to the prince lying with his back to the room. Instantly the long haired warrior turned to the opposite wall and saw the shivering form of the young prince.
"Prince Vegeta" the long haired warrior said. He walked over and reached out to touch the young prince's shoulder. Instantly the little prince pulled away from the touch and turned his frightened black eyes on the warrior who stood above him.
"It is okay my prince" the warrior said. He placed his weight on the bed beside the young prince. He gave the small boy a rare smile causing the child to scrunch down slightly away from the warrior beside him.
"Saiyans disdain emotions. Except behind closed doors."
The small prince moved his eyes toward the door and blinked slightly. Slowly, shyly he climbed into the warrior's lap and leaned into his chest.
"Rad-Raditz" the little prince asked softly as Raditz ran his hand gently down the small prince's back.
The small prince hid his little face against the older warrior and murmured "Will you sing to me?"
Raditz smiled down at the young prince and softly he began to sing softly:
We're not gonna
be
Just apart of their game
We're not gonna be
Just the
victims
They're taking our dreams
And they tear them apart
Til
everyone's the same
I've got no place to go
I've got no where
to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it
all
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always
say
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my
own
I've gotta prove them wrong
Me against the world
It's me
against the world
We won't let them change
How we feel in
our hearts
We're not gonna let them control us
We won't let
them shove
All their thoughts in our heads
And we'll never be
like them
I've got no place to go
I've got no where to
run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all
I'm
a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always say
I'm a lost
cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I'm gonna prove
them wrong
It's me against the world
Me against the world
Now
I'm sick of this waiting
So come on and take your shot
You can
spit all your insults
But nothing you say is gonna change us
You
can sit there and judge me
Say what you want to
We'll never let
you in
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always
said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
Me
against the world
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what
they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it
on my own
I've got to prove them wrong
They'll never bring us
down
We'll never fall in line
I'll make it on my own
Me
against the world
"Me against the world" the little prince sang softly as he fell asleep against Raditz's chest. Raditz gently moved the child to the bed and drew the thin little blanket around the little prince's body.
"No child should have to go through something like this" he whispered. "And defiantly not someone who is only four-years-old."
AN: Wooh! Fight the conformity! You just can't hold a Saiyan down. Okay. Review please.
