The sky was dark outside the palace walls, and the rain was pouring down in abundance, soaking the soil of the planet Vegeta.
Raindrops struck the large windows of the palace of King Vegeta sporadically, and thunder roared in the night sky, as lightning struck the planet,
illuminating the area for an instance, illuminating a window in the palace where two dark figures sat.
One was large, muscularly built, and had a short mop of black hair upon his head.
The other was large too, but not to his companions extent, but his hair hanged from his forehead till his lowerback, the strands of hair forming large spikes,
making his hair look like quite a large pineapple, and his hair too, was a jet-black colour.
Not much else could be seen of them or the room they were in from outside the palace walls.
But one could still see an object in their hands, with a cord from it leading all the way to a small, rectangular machine, that sat upon an even larger one.
The two figures looked disturbed by something, from their constant bobbing where they sat...
"Hey Raditz, the screen's still blank.", Nappa said.
Infront of him was a large television, upon that was a Playstation II, with the Tekken 5 game inside it.
"This sucks...", said Raditz, disappointed at the Playstation's lack of functioning.
But what they failed to notice, was that the Playstation was not plugged in, only the television was, so all it was showing was static.
"We've set everything up, it's supposed 'ta be workin'! That crappy shop owner must've given us a broken Playstation on purpose! I 'oughta punch 'im in the nose!
Yeah, I'll give him a piece of my mind!", Nappa yelled, absolutely sure of his assessment.
"But not too much, you don't have a lot to spare.", Raditz taunted, with a snicker.
"Shut Up!", Nappa yelled at Raditz.
But before either of the two could say anything further, a loud yell was heard from Vegeta's room, that left both Saiyans confused.
"Hmm...He must've noticed those dead mice we put in his slippers! Hehehe! Hahahahaha!", Nappa laughed at the site of Vegeta screaming as he stepped barefooted
on two squishy dead rats.
"Nah, it's been hours since he's gone to bed, he'd have noticed it by now, it must be something else...You wanna check it out?", Raditz asked his bulky friend.
"Yeah, this stupid contraption's broken anyway...", Nappa said, as the two got up and headed for Vegeta's room.
The two Saiyans trodded silently up to Vegeta's bedroom, it being 12:00 AM, they didn't want to wake up Vegeta's parents, the King and Queen, or Bardock,
or any of the other staff living in the palace.
So after sneaking many steps up, the two warriors finally made it to the second floor, where Vegeta's room was.
Raditz slowly gripped the knob on Vegeta's bedroom door, turned it, and pushed it open slowly.
They were greeted with the site of an empty room, with the light still on, and the window open, which is a rare thing, as Vegeta never leaves the window open at night.
Vegeta would also have not tried to climb out from there, as it was really high up, and he had not learned to fly yet.
"Huh? Where is he?", Nappa asked, looking around the room.
After searching the room for a few minutes longer, a white note sticking slightly out of Vegeta's bed's pillows caught Raditz's attention.
It would have taken him sooner to find it, had the note, the blankets, and pillows all not have been white.
"Hello? What's this?", Raditz asked no one, plucking the letter out of the pillows with caution, and examining it oh so slowly,
so slow Nappa was already hyperventilating with impatience.
Raditz didn't seem fazed though, and began tearing open the envelope at the speed of a snail on a slow day, and Nappa couldn't take it anymore...
"Read, you fool! Read!", Nappa yelled, almost as loud as Vegeta had some time earlier.
"(Ahem)", Raditz said as he opened up the letter, and began reading out loud:
"I've taken your prince as hostage for no reason, 'cause I'm a mean fat bastard. So try trackin' him down if you can, suckers! - Lord Belch.", Raditz read.
But just as he finished reading the note, they heard multitudes of footsteps heading to Vegeta's room, heavy footsteps, and chattering...
Before they could see who it was, King Vegeta bursted into the room, along with the queen, and Bardock.
"'Ello 'ello 'ello, what's all this here then?", King Vegeta said, staring suspiciously at the two well known pranksters.
"Come 'ear sonnies, I am not amused!", King Vegeta said, grabbing them by the ears, he began questioning them.
"What sort of prank is this, causing a ruckus so late at night? Who screamed? And where's Vegeta, what've you done with him?", the King said, throwing multiple
questions at them one after the other, not giving them a chance to answer.
"It wasn't us, Your Highness! We just came to investigate, and found this note on Prince Vegeta's bed!", Raditz said, handing the note over to the King, saying the prince
part mockingly, disgusted that he had to take such an arrogant brat as a prince.
"Hmm...", the King said as he read the letter, still suspicious of them.
"How do I know this isn't just one of your pranks? What foolish being would have a name like, Belch?", the King asked them, not willing to believe it that easily.
"That, would be me...Buuuurrp!", came a voice by the window, followed by a sickening belch.
And everyone turned to look, as a giant slimy green blob splattered from the window onto the floor, and began laughing maniacally, and belching wildly.
"Who are you? And where have you taken Vegeta?", King Vegeta asked the blob known as Belch, and began charging up a blast in his hand,
ready to blast the creature into the next dimension.
"Har, Har! I won't be talking that easily, cretins! That'd ruin all the fun! You'll have to find out where I took him! Mwahahahaha! Buuuuuuuurrp!", was the thing's reply.
But before the King could unleash his anger on the blob, he puked out all over the King, Queen and Bardock, which left them paralysed.
"Mwahahahaha! You cannot move!", Belch said, and turned towards the two teenage Saiyans.
"It is up to you two apes to find Vegeta, and when you do, I'll be waiting! Buuuuuurp!", he said, unleashing a stinking gas of stench upon them, which left them nauseus,
before gathering his body into a round ball of slime, and disappearing.
The King, Queen and Bardock were all still left paralysed in a large puddle of slime.
The palace guards rushed in then, after Belch was gone.
"Where the hell were you?!", the King roared at the guards, for coming in after the villian had already left.
"We were in hiding!", the commander of the guards said, and gave the King a thumb's up sign.
"Forget about that, just get me outta this!", the King ordered.
The guards obliged, and carried the king to the Med Bay, to be cured, leaving two still inactive Saiyans behind...
"Uhh...Now what?", Nappa asked his long haired friend.
"We wait for the King's orders, I guess...", was Raditz's reply, and the two headed to the Med Bay as well.
(Some time later)
Raditz and Nappa walked into the hospital room, where the King, Queen and Bardock lay, each on hospital beds.
It turned out that the puke would leave them paralysed for a week, so the two were summoned by the King to go on a mission.
"We need someone brave, strong, and fearless to rescue Vegeta...", the King started.
"But you two are all we've got, so you'll have to do.", the King said, staring at them with a dead-serious look on his face.
"Find Vegeta, and you'll get yourself a reward. Fail, and I'll...I'll...I'll have to think of a suitable punishment...", the King said, deep in thought...
"Well? You heard that monster, you'll have to track Vegeta down. You've got your orders, now get moving!", the King barked, shaking them out of their trance.
"Yes Sir!", they said, giving a salute before turning and leaving to prepare.
(Half an hour later)
Raditz and Nappa were done preparing, each donning their Saiyan battle armour, and walked out of the palace walls into the rain outside, into battle.
The two Saiyans stood smirking outside the palace, acting as if they knew what to do, but they were infact clueless...
"We are Saiyans, and this is what we do...", Raditz said, with a rather large smirk on his face, trying to sound smart.
And their journey to rescue Vegeta begins...
