This was a random role play that my friend and I did, and I was inspired to make it into a story. Please write a review to tell me what you think.
Somewhere, deep into space, two Saiyan space pods are speeding towards Earth. They have been in space for about eleven months now, and are dangerously close to Earth. What is their intent? No one but them really knows. Some say that they want the Dragon Balls, others say they want revenge for Raditz – their recently deceased partner. Raditz was there a year before them. The pods are two different sizes, one regular sized and one larger one.
In the larger pod is this big sized, but not fat, Saiyan with the name of Nappa. Nappa is in his older years now. No he is not old! But more of middle aged. He has a stern looking face, a bald head and a handle bar mustache. He has muscles that are very large and large sized Saiyan battle armor. Nappa used to be the commander of the Great Saiyan Army, before Frieza- a Changling, blew his planet up. The planet was known as Planet Vegeta.
And in the smaller pod is another Saiyan warrior. He is known as Prince Vegeta. Vegeta was the prince of Planet Vegeta, before the fall. And now he has been reduced to not much more than a has an angry air about him, and is always scowling. And if you take longer than he likes doing something, he will gripe and complain at you, while Nappa just gets disappointed. Vegeta has shoulder length hair that is spiked up into a widow's peak. And he is VERY arrogant and prideful. There are only about three known living Saiyans left in the universe, Nappa, Vegeta, and Goku A.K.A Kakarot. Goku A.K.A Kakarot is on Earth.
(To fill you in on the history that brought up this so far I – the author has taken the liberty of writing what has happened so far.) - Raditz was Goku's brother. Raditz was sent to Earth, by Vegeta and Nappa, to check on his little brother's progress. The mission was to get Kakarot to finish the job he has been on since he was an infant – destroy all of the inhabitants of the planet. Unfortunately, when Goku landed, he fell out of the pod and hit his head on a rock, destroying his memory, so he forgot his mission. So when Raditz came to convince him to join the other Saiyans in the Planet Trade Organization – Frieza's company. But Goku resisted and tried to convince Raditz to leave using violence since Raditz would not leave. Kakarot held Raditz back while Piccolo – a Namekian – used an energy attack to kill Raditz, killing Goku in the process, thus ending that battle and opening the doors to the next one which is soon to come...
For nearly a year both pods have been traveling, for nearly a year both pilots have been sleeping. To preserve their lives, they are put into a cryogenic slumber – when your body is cooled to the point where your body doesn't function, but you're still alive and physically do not age.
Both Nappa and Vegeta have been through this before. They have experienced this for around twenty-five years – that's how long since Planet Vegeta was destroyed. Now, to answer the question of what do they want of Earth, they want both the Dragon Balls and revenge. But the revenge is not for the death of Raditz, but for the demolition of their home world and their enslavement, and Frieza shall give them their revenge. For they want to kill Frieza and will use the Dragon Balls to make them immortal.
Vegeta, on the way to Earth, had this dream. It was more of a memory than a dream, but still a dream all together. He dreamed of when he was a young child around the ages of five or six, not too long be for his planet gets destroyed. And in the dream he was play-sparring to one day, hopefully become part of the great Saiyan Army. Nappa and Vegeta's father King Vegeta were waxing eloquently about how well Vegeta has been doing in his training. Vegeta, in the dream, walked over to them to announce that he had, once again, won the training and over heard some of the conversation.
"... sure, King Vegeta, the young prince will definitely be an amazing fighter one day, probably even a Super Saiyan, I look forward to seeing the progress he will make." Then Nappa looked over to Prince Vegeta, "Don't you think you'll do great Vegeta? Vegeta? VEGETA!"
Vegeta was jolted awake when he heard someone shouting his name. It was Nappa using the communication system.
"Hey, Vegeta, are you awake?" He asked.
"Well, judging by the fact I am answering you, what do you think?!" Vegeta snapped at him.
"Geez, Vegeta, I didn't mean to disturb you."
"Well, you did. You interrupted a good dream...," Vegeta trailed off.
"Really Vegeta? A good dream? You hardly ever have any of those. So... what was it about?"
"Why do you want to know? It's not like we're friends or anything..." Vegeta was quiet for a couple of seconds, as if to think of another hurtful thing to say to Nappa. "We're just comrades, and that's all we'll ever be."
Well, gosh, Vegeta, I thought we were friends -" Vegeta cut him off.
"Just shut up, Nappa, and go back to sleep." Vegeta yelled.
Nappa went as silent as a brick wall. Vegeta just slunk back into a light sleep, dreaming of the things that could happen to them in the future.
Poor Nappa, his buddy isn't really his buddy. Truth is Vegeta does not know what he thinks of Nappa, he likes him but is also somewhat annoyed by him, but there might also be something more at work here. Truth is that ever since Planet Vegeta was destroyed, Vegeta never really had a friend and forgot what friendship really is over the years. But Nappa did not see it that way. Nappa's poor heart was shattered – he was proved wrong, Vegeta's not his friend, he's just a tool to him. Thinking that way made him feel all weepy and depressed. But he was also all the more eager to prove himself to Vegeta.
