Dragonball The Other

We all know the story. Kakarot miraculously slips by the last ordeal of his home planet. Set course for earth he lands and becomes the greatest hero the earth has ever known, Goku. Even the Otherworld and other parts of the galaxy also revere him as such. But this is not about him nor his friends. At least not yet.

This is the story about those who were also fortunate to evade the wrath of Frieza.

A tale about survival. Believing they are the last of their kind.

An adventure, from another Saiyans eyes.

Far into the vacuum of space. Past the stars that earth can see and further than that of their homeland was a Planet by the name of Hirshot. A devastating molten planet of fire and lava. Little living conditions for humans but there were no signs of such species. Only those of Hirshts roamed. Emerging from the deep pits of magma to cone and combat their enemy. Their molten skin absorbing the heat and power from the very essence that was their home. Eyes brighter than their own sun and claws swifter and deadlier than that of Burter all began to cluster around an area seemingly void of the heat and created earth to shape from the impact. A pair of pods landed on their territory. They submerged and obliterated much in their path. The Hirshts all hissed and squawked in confusion and worry. They did not care for whatever was in it friend or foe, it was not welcome.

The red orb on the pods shone and an exhaust of steam escaped as the screech of the doors began opening. Out of each of the spheres exited a Saiyan. The first was a large muscular man with hair that could pop any balloon. It covered his whole forehead but left his eyes open for sight. He smirked while taking in a breathe of the atmosphere. His chest puffing out stretching his dark green armor he appeared full of excitement and anticipation. "Smell this air Jia. It warms every fiber in you."

The woman referred to Jia walked over to him with a rather bored expression. "That it does Dartz."

She had long ebony hair. Tied low into two sections creating a unique way to set up her hair, she also had some strands just above her right eye but a large section pointed high to te sky defying gravity itself.

The Hirshts all became frightened as the Saiyans made casual conversation. They didn't even acknowledge the people of this planet surrounding them. That is until they all decided to swarm them. They charged and descended down the craters the two were in. Even with their mass quantities the duo let them be piled on. When te crater was filled with the Hirsht people a light peeked through the many holes until most of the molten natives were vaporized atop.

"Good work Jia. You have gotten more powerful since last time."

"Shut up Dartz. Someday I'll surpass you. It may even be today." Dartz laughed at her in a playful way at her remark. The Hirshts were running back into their lava ridden homes at the terror that reached their planet. Both Saiyans took to the skies and continued the onslaught set out for them.

These two were always together. Ever since the training days they have always made a formidable team. With Jia's excess of energy and Dartz' seemingly endless supply of stamina they plowed through enemies as if mowing a lawn. But they were only two of their squad. On the other side of the planet three more pods were bound and also massacring thousands. But they don't need to be mentioned yet. For now Dartz and Jia were enjoying themselves with their onslaught.

...

After three days of the genocide Dartz and Jia finally met up with the other three. Two other men and one other woman; well more like a young teen. Dartz rang out in joy as they neared. "That's almost a new record Holon!"

Dartz went and smacked hands with the tall Holon. His spiked parted bangs swayed a tad at impact and he cringed with a small smile. "And you never weaken even to friends."

His hand smarting Holon continued. "We completely wiped out the western hemisphere except for those who were intelligent and ran to their lava pits."

The teen piped up. "They weren't fun at all."

She was pouting next to another lad who still older than her but he didn't seem to say much just let the other talk.

"Sola, just because you can't finish them off before they flee doesn't mean you spread your natural disappointment of the universe." Jia remarked causing a laugh from everyone. The poor Saiyan beside her wasn't so lucky. Sola went and punched him out of anger. "Shut up!"

Holon veered to Dartz. "Poor Krig. He actually did well today, unlike last time."

Dartz still smiling nodded. "He actually talk a bit?"

Holon shrugged. "If you call screaming while powering up talking. Though he did point out your power levels peaked at some point. It was real quick so I didn't notice."

Both of the men laugh while Jia was crossing her arms in patience and annoyance. "Can we finish this place off? Dartz and I have an appointment back home."

Dartz whirled around smiling a shy grin with a small blush. Holon whirled an eyebrow. "What appointment?"

Dartz slowly inched his way to Jia. "Weeeeell we were chosen o be 'partners'."

As soon as he finished his sentence he took off with Holon close behind spouting nonsense on how he would kill him in a method of ways. Jia sighed and shook her head floating to Sola and Krig. "I don't understand my brother at times. He knows both Dartz and I were destined to do this sooner or later. It was evident as soon as we met in training days."

Sola scoffed. "Thank Freiza I haven't been decided who to be with yet."

Krig just watched the woman talk. Jia always wanted him to join in but it always seemed he had nothing to say. "What about you Krig. You hope you land a nice woman to bed? Your about that age where you find out who you're matched with."

Krig shrugged. His expression showed he was in the conversation but with no response ever it was still a mystery on what his opinion was. Sola tsked at him in annoyance. "The kid never talks."

"That kid is older than you Sola. You could learn respect from him."

"Respect? Whats that? I never see it. Everybody in this squad is still as immature as a child so I call everyone a kid."

The men returned with Holon looking exhausted. "Wooow you look more winded than when we fought!"

Sola always had a remark about everything and most of the time it was enjoyed. Holon sent a glare at her but didn't make a move to do anything. Dartz laughed as he approached Jia and put his massive hand on her shoulder. For only a second a sense of another emotion passed through the two's eyes. That second was only caught by the two performing it. "If you're that anxious to head home let's all finish this. With everyones approval and adrenaline rising Jia focused her energy into that of a bright Sphere and lobbed into the sky before she crushed the energy to mix with the atmosphere. All of them dashed a certain distance away from each other before looking up into the smokey sky and absorbing the energy from the makeshift moon.

...

Now back in the pods Krig and Sola were asleep flying on through the space as the travel home would be a long one. Holon said he didn't want to be disturbed and locked off all comms with him except for emergencies. This left both of the strongest in the group connected with communications to speak whatever was on their mind. Dartz was fidgeting with his hands thinking if what to say. He wanted to talk with Jia. He always did. Every chance he got to talk about serious things with her he would but he would also hesitate. Unlike the rest of his race Dartz always wondered about love and relationships. His squad was lucky. Jia and her brother Holon only had a sibling relationship because they were in the same group. If it were any other siblings in the Saiyan race they would not bother with such 'trifle' ordeals. But the subject on his mind was that of love. Ever since he was a child he was baffled with why there was an absence in his society. It sounded amazing and something no one should live without. Dartz never found someone to talk about it with. They would always say it was a useless feeling and a waste of emotions unless it was towards combat. He was a strong fighter and fit in that way but he still believed himself an outsider thinking of such things. That is until he met Jia. In training camps and lessons whenever they would have a break the two became friendly rivals and one night he asked if he could share some thoughts with her. As children it was accepting but the older they got the more he watched as Jia became more violent like the others. It frightened him that she may reflect him as a friend- no wait he had to use comrade for that term. That she too would disregard his thoughts and...feelings.

Fortunately she didn't. She still made time for him to talk with her about all the things racking his brain. And it still hasn't stopped. Right now he knew she was waiting for him to begin one of their talks again. But this was different. He already had an idea on what to speak of, but at the same time he was still terrified.

"Dartz?"

He heard her voice sound through the intercom in his pod and felt his large heart skip a beat. He knew this was it. "Jia...I wanted to ask something."

"I knew you would. What's the subject this time round?"

Scratching his beard on his chin he tried picking the precise words to speak. "Well. How do you think of the appointment?"

A tone of static sounded as he waited for her response. "What do you mean? Like how I feel about it?"

"Yeah. Are...are you happy...?"

More silence returned. The seconds seemed to go on forever as his hand gripped his chest waiting again. "Happy..."

That was the only word replied but he knew she had more to say. She was in a rut as well on how to say her thoughts."...I am."

Again he felt his heart jump.

"I'm happy I'm with a strong warrior." And just as fast as it came he felt himself descend into a plane of disappointment. He knew she wanted a strong fighter. Everyone does for their mate. But he had hoped...that she would be happy it was him. He let himself feel selfish about this ever since he found out that they were paired. "Oh...I see."

"Isn't that what you wanted to hear?"

"...Sort of."

More silence was greeted by the both of them. Jia had her arms crossed and was staring at the speaker as if waiting for him to make another comment. She knew he was upset but didn't know how or why. She complimented him on his strength. Don't all Saiyan men appreciate that? She huffed out in frustration. "What else Dartz. I know there is more on your mind so spit it out already!"

Dartz heard her annoyance tinted speech and furrowed his brow. "Do you remember when i would talk about love?"

Jia cocked an eyebrow at his sentence. Where was this going? "Yes. What of it?"

"I've been thinking... A lot about it. What some say it feels like. How they experience it. How they describe it..." his voice trailed. She heard him falter and decided to encourage him. She knew Dartz was a ball of emotions. Her favorite being when he was happy which was about 90% whenever she was around. "Keep going Dartz."

Hearing her say his name brought a brave smile to his face. "I believe I understand how they all felt. I think I'm in love."

Jia was taken aback. Did he not want to be with her on this? She had thought he also wanted her as a partner. She recalls all the what-if situations he would do with them. She now felt herself begin to slide. "Oh..."

Silence again cursed the two. One relieve he finally said it but also worried of her reaction, and the other now confused with her own inklings on the matter.

After moments of awkward silence Jia spoke again. "How does it feel?"

Dartz didn't hear the tone of anger or sadness in her words. He was too busy feeling the heat surround him of acceptance. "It's better than anything I have said about it. It's truly wonderful."
Jia bit her lip and gripped her arms tighter at his words. They sounded so sincere. Was she jealous at whoever was receiving his attention. Who was it?

"Who's the lucky girl?"

Dartz was now confused. Did she not put two and two together? "Uhm she..."

Why was he hesitating? Just say it. "Jia..."

She waited anxiously for him to answer. A sense of dread covering her and her senses were going crazy even her scouted picked up on her rising power level.

"Jia it's you." Jia bit through her lip at this. Tasting blood inside she coughed, which worried Dartz. "Jia are you alright."

After collecting herself she cleared her throat. She didn't answer right away. Her head was still wrapping itself around his confession. Love.

Love. It was a weird feeling to think about it. Especially now that it was directed at herself. "You...love me, Dartz."

"Yes!" he yipped immediately. His quick response caught her again off guard. She didn't know how to respond. How could he? He knew she only listened to him to relax him and let him vent and express his taunting thoughts. "why?"

It was Dartz' turn to be taken aback. There was so many reasons he fell for her. Her smile. Her tenacity. The way she carried herself even when she was injured or losing she never lost the spark to fight. The pride of the Vegeta family would pale in comparison to her drive. But she would find all these things silly. But he had to give her an answer. She wouldn't stop until he gave her one. "Jia,... It's hard to say all the things I see in you. There are too many to count. But you,...you always were by my side. You were the first to not scoff at every thought in my head or my opinions. And and and you yourself were an inspiration. To all of our race. If we had even one more of you I'm sure we could take on Frieza himself."

Jia listened intently. Her cautious meters were slowly dropping with every word he spoke. He put so much detail and emotion into everything he said. After a while when she finally accepted that he was serious she felt her mouth shift upwards into a genuine smile. "Stop Dartz."

He stopped with fear clinging onto him.

"I understand."

The way she said that calmed him down. It was calm, and reassuring. "Thank you..."

His smile grew larger. "No Jia,...thank you."

Ok I know im gonna hear that these saiyans don't even act like saiyans except for like Holon and Sola. Well Akira Toryama explained that some Saiyans can at some points develop deep and close feelings towards others. Bardock was an example he used with his mate Gine. So I took that route with Dartz. Jia is still warming up to the idea but has already been desensitized by his thoughts and feelings for a long while now.

Trust me more detailed violences will be approaching!
