For years the Saiyan race was trying to rebuild itself from it's own ashes. Planetary heroes, space pirates, and even the lone prince tried to fight for survival. It seemed all hope was lost as this proud race was one step away from extinction, but this was avoided as the last of the royal lineage settled down on a planet he once tried to destroy.

In the year 2000, Second Impact destroyed most of the world and took half of the Earth's population with it. Months afterwards, prince Vegeta met a young scientist by the name of Kyoko Zeppelin Shikinami and soon got married. They had a daughter named Asuka Langley Shikinami, she was half human, half saiyan and born with a monkey's tail just like her father. Though the child was never allowed to see the full moon, she was loved by both her parents. Sadly, Vegeta was called away to help in the fight against cell, leaving Asuka with her mother. In 2005, after a Contact Experiment with Unit 02, severe mental damage was caused to Asuka's mother. She became mentally unstable, believing that one of Asuka's dolls was her daughter rather than Asuka. She was taken to a mental institution shortly after, where she committed suicide. This ultimately left Asuka alone because her father was not around. From that day on Asuka was trained to be an EVA pilot, nothing more and nothing less.

In the year 2015 it was time for Asuka to put her training to use. She came to Japan to help in the battle against the angels. Now she lives with her guardian Misato Katsuragi and fellow pilot Shinji Ikari. While in Japan, Asuka will find the truth about herself and her father.


Fight 1: Enter Oozaru

Late Thursday afternoon the children were just finishing up another one of their sync test. They were in their respected locker rooms changing up to get ready for the weekend. Shinji Ikari was by himself putting on his school uniform while the girls were just finishing up washing the LCL off their bodies.
"Dammit! It's bad enough I get this stuff in my hair but on my tail?" that statement came from none other than the second child Asuka Langley Shikinami. Now Asuka was different from others, when she was born she had a tail. Doctors deemed it a 'birth defect' but that didn't matter to the parents. Within a few years of her life Asuka learned how to wrap her tail around waist and keep it hidden. The only people who knew about it was just a handful of NERV personnel and to her dislike this included 'wondergirl' Rei Ayanami. When Rei saw Asuka's tail for the first time she pulled it and stunned Asuka. Of course that didn't settle well with the redhead and she attempted to start a fight with Rei.

When Rei and Asuka were finished changing and about to leave the locker room Misato came in.
"Major Katsuragi." Rei simply stated.
Misato just looked back at Rei and replied "Hello Rei, carry on." With that Rei left the locker room and Asuka and Misato were alone.
"Hello Misato. Are you here to take Shinji and me home?" Asuka asked.
"No, I'm here to tell you to see Dr. Akagi." Misato responded only to receive a loud groan from Asuka.
"Every month I have to get one of these stupid check ups, why? The baka doesn't have to put up with this, why should I have to?" the girl started fuming.
Misato sighed as she had to put up with this all the time. "Can you hurry and get to Ritsuko? Remember you need to get home before it gets dark outside."

As Asuka was leaving the locker room she was caught up in thought. 'Its just like how it was back in Germany. I can't stay out late, I'm always having these annoying check ups...'Suddenly Asuka's thoughts were broken by a light pain in her head. 'And these stupid headaches.' While rubbing her temple she reached Dr. Akagi's office and then knocked on the door. From the other side of the door a familiar voice greeted the second child. "Come in."
Asuka simply did as instructed and enter the doctor's office. Ritsuko was sitting at her desk working on her computer and then greeted the girl. "Hello Asuka, I see you're here for your check up. You know the standard process by now, just give me a minute." Asuka walked over to the medical table and took off her school uniform. She sat on the table clad in only her sports bra and panties while waiting for Dr. Akagi. She also unwrapped her tail, which was something she only did at the apartment.

Ritsuko smiled at the girl and instructed her to go to the scale. Asuka got her height and weight done just like she always does. After everything was said and done, Asuka caught Dr. Akagi off guard with an unusual question.

"Hey, doctor Akagi, do you have access to personal files of us here at NERV?"

Ritsuko raised an eyebrow and responded "…well Asuka I'm not at liberty to discuss that with you, but why do you ask? "

Asuka looked down at the ground and then back at Ritsuko. "Well, let's just say I've been looking for a certain person recently." She didn't know why but she felt a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable about to open up to someone about this.

"Oh, I see." the faux blonde was trying to pry a get some information out of the teen. "Well, do you mind telling me who it is?"

Asuka sighed and answered the scientist. "…I've…been searching for someone, for…a long time." there was a long hard pause until she started again. "I've been looking for my father and I need your help to find him."

Ritsuko's eyes widened as she herd the teen's words. She wouldn't think the great Asuka Langley Shikinami would one, be asking for someone's help and two, looking for a man who wasn't Kaji and actually her father.

Ritsuko locked her door, shut off the camera in her office and looked at the girl who was slowly breaking down. If I can actually help someone instead of causing them pain…Ritsuko thought. She placed a hand on the teen's shoulder and gave her a wary smile. "Okay Asuka, I'll help you find your birth father."

Asuka was a bit stunned by this, the scientist was willing to do this and put her job on the line knowing that she could be fired. She nodded in response and actually thanked the doctor. "Thank you Akagi-san."

"You're welcome, but don't thank me just yet I have to pull up the information first. Regularly it would take a week or two to get this information, but seeing the nature of the matter I should have it in a day. By this time tomorrow you should have all the information you need to locate your father." Ritsuko looked at her watch and realized it was getting late. "But right now its time for you to go. I don't want Misato blaming me if you're late for curfew."

Asuka rolled her eyes and got the hint, she grabbed her school bag and bid the doctor a farewell.

When the girl was gone Ritsuko pulled out a cigarette, lit it up and took a long drag. "Hmph, its going to be a long night." She said to herself realizing what little sleep she was going to get. She sat her personal computer and stared to get to work on her self-imposed task.


On the way home Asuka was left with her thoughts. If Akagi could actually find my birth father what would I do? I've never seen the man so I have no idea what he'll be like. Also what if he had a reason for leaving mama and never seeing me? Then what? The poor girl didn't have an answer and would just have to wait until tomorrow.


Friday came and went. School was uneventful as Asuka could only focus on finding out some information on her long lost father. When school let out she hurried to the GeoFront anticipating to hear the truth from the good doctor. Once at Ritsuko's office she went inside and was greeted by a stack of papers on her desk. When Asuka got closer she realized that Ritsuko had her head buried in her arms as she was asleep. The girl tapped the scientist to wake her up and jumped back a bit when she did.

"Akagi-san, are you okay?" the redhead asked.

Stretching Ritsuko responded "I didn't see you there Asuka, but yes I'm fine." She motioned at the stack of papers and continued to speak. "As you can see, I kept to my word and found a lot of information on your father."

Asuka's eyes widen when she herd those words. "Really?"

"Yes and it seems your father is a very interesting man." Ritsuko smiled. "Your father is one of Earth's strongest fighters and helped protected it against monsters."

Asuka cocked her head and asked "A monster? You mean he helped fight one of the angels?"

Ritsuko shock her head in disagreement and handed Asuka one of the files on her father. "No, this was way before the angels. He fought against a monster named Cell and two murderous androids who killed millions of people. He was willing to give his life to save the planet."

As Ritsuko talked, Asuka read over her father's file marked 'Vegeta' and examined every detail she could. She studied the picture within the file and starred at it for a long period of time. The man's face showed years of pain and suffering, eyes resembling a black hole, and a huge widow's peak with spiked hair defying gravity. After a few moments of silence Asuka finally spoke. "Vegeta, father, I will find you."

With that Asuka got up and once again thanked Dr. Akagi for her help and headed towards the door. But before she could leave Ritsuko asked her one question. "Are you ready for what may lay ahead?"

Asuka nodded and replied "Yes." then left.

Ritsuko sat back in her chair and looked at the one file she kept away from the girl. The file that stated the man known as Vegeta once tried to destroy the Earth and kill all of its inhabitants. Asuka I hope you really are ready for what's ahead.


It was dark outside and the moon was full, Asuka didn't think she'd spend the whole afternoon in Ritsuko's office. 'Great, Misato is going to be pissed when she realizes that I missed curfew.' She mentally thought to herself. While she rushed to get home Asuka stopped for a moment and looked up at the sky. Her eyes were soon fixed on the full moon and she thought 'wow, the moon is really bright. I've never seen one before, just only in textbooks.' Then it started to happen, with her gaze was stuck on the moon, Asuka's eyes started to turn red and her tail sprang out from under her school dress. Her heartbeat started to accelerate and the transformation was about to begin.

Asuka's face became contorted and slowly turning into that of an ape's, her teeth turned into large fangs and then her body exploded with muscle. She was transforming into a giant ape and nothing could stop it from happening. She gave off a very powerful roar as she soon turned into a 45 foot tall great ape that sent shockwaves throughout Tokyo-3. The monkey she-beast pounded her chest and let out another roar. Soon an energy blast erupted from her mouth and destroyed a row of abandon buildings. All this damage was shaking the foundation of Tokyo-3 and was soon to capture the attention of a certain organization.


Meanwhile back at NERV it was a late night for most of the staff and this included Misato. She was stuck completing the last of the paperwork from the tenth angel. 'What I wouldn't do for a beer right now, this paperwork is killing me!' She mentally screamed. Misato couldn't take it anymore and got up to go and see what Ritsuko was up to. When she arrived at her friend's office she realized that Ritsuko was slowly drifting off to sleep. She stepped in and mocked asked "What's the matter Rits, work catchin' up to ya?"

The bottle blonde jumped when she realized that Misato was standing there. "Very funny Misato, but yes I am a bit tired. I've been up to my neck in research for the past day." She started to pour Misato and herself some coffee.

The purple-haired women took the lukewarm coffee and then asked "What kind of research?"

"Well it isn't anything pertaining to NERV so let's just say it's a personal matter." Ritsuko said hoping Misato wouldn't ask any follow-up questions. But alas, her former college friend did. "Personal, what do you mean?"

Ritsuko bluntly said "It's not about me Misato, so don't try and pry anymore."

Misato having enough information came to a conclusion and said "Its about Asuka." As Ritsuko eyes widen, Misato smiled and said "I knew it."

Ritsuko recovered from her stupor asked "How did you know?"

"Well one, you just admitted it and two it's a little obvious. Asuka has been here a few times this week so it wouldn't shock me if she asked you for something."

Ritsuko was impressed by her friend's deduction and how quickly she put the pieces together. So now that the cat was out of the bag she explained everything to Misato and got her up to speed. She even explained the part about how Asuka's dad tried to destroy the Earth but she didn't want to tell the girl.

Misato sighed and told her friend "I hope she finds what she's looking for, but at the same time I don't." pain slowly crept on her face as she remembered how her father put her mother in so much pain. The room felt silent for awhile until quakes were herd throughout the GeoFront.

"What the hell?" asked Misato as she looked at her friend for an answer. "Is there an angel attack?"

Ritsuko shock her head not knowing what to say. Then out of nowhere Misato's phone went off. While she answered her Ritsuko was checking her computer to see if there really was an angel attack. Once both women finished what they were doing Misato said "Rits we have to report to Central Dogma, Commander's orders."

With a nod both women made there way to Central Dogma and saw the three Lieutenants at work.

"Status report!" Misato demanded.

Maya looked at the Major and replied "Sir, the MAGI are picking up a red/blue pattern. Its small but its there."

"So this is an angel?" asked Misato.

"No Major, its something else." Said Makoto as he started bring up the feed from a street security camera. Soon an image of a giant monkey appeared on screen as it smashed it's fist into a building. Everybody's eyes widen at the sight of the monster as it dealt more damage.

"What is that thing?" Ritsuko asked. "If its not an angel, then what?"

Slowly the wheels in Misato's brain were turning when she realized what the monster was. "Oh no! That beast is Asuka!" when she yelled that, she felt something inside her stomach sink. With this declaration everybody turned and looked at the Major only to yell 'WHAT!' in unison.

"Major are you sure about this?" asked Shegiru.

Misato sighed and started to explain. "At first it was an old story parents use to tell their kids; that when the moon was full people with monkey tails would transform into monsters and destroy everything. But then that was all too real as it started to happen. Back in Germany we found that out the hard way! Asuka saw the full moon and transformed back then and its happening again. She's going to tear Tokyo-3 apart unless we find a way to stop her."

Everybody was drop-dead silent as they couldn't believe that could happen to Asuka, they knew she had a tail but they never knew of the price she had to pay.

Commander Ikari fixed his glasses on his face before making his presence known. "Lt. Ibuki, contact the First child and prepare Unit-00."

Misato quickly interjected. "Sir, with all due respect sending the EVA to stop Asuka won't work. With that energy blast she could easily destroy the EVA and kill Rei."

The Commander weighted his options and realized the Major was right. He couldn't risk the EVA and dropping an N2 mine was out of the question. Looking directly at the Major he commented "Major because you have knowledge of the Second child's condition, how do you purpose we stop it?"

Misato looked away feeling a bit embarrassed when she answered. "Well sir, there is no telling how to stop the transformation but wait until the sun raises. Other than that we have no other knowledge of stopping Asuka."

Before Gendo could get out a word, Maya reported something on screen.

"Sir, there seems to be another red/blue pattern approaching the Second child and this one is much higher."

Gendo smashed his fist down on his desk and demanded to know what it was. Maya shock in her boots but responded by putting a new image up on the screen. It seemed to be a man flying towards the destruction!


A few miles away from Tokyo-3, a man with jet black spiked hair was flying though the air. He had sensed the power coming from the city and went to go check it out. When he got closer to the city and sensed the moderately high power level he laughed and said "Ha! This should be fun!" he soon sped up anticipating the battle ahead. When he arrived he saw a giant monkey destroying the city. "What? A great ape, don't make me laugh!" he raised one hand over his head and started concentrating.


Meanwhile in Central Dogma everyone was stunned when a man arrived flying over the city. They watched as he raised his left hand up and started to conger up energy. When they got a good look at the man's face both Misato and Ritsuko looked at each other and softly said "Vegeta." They both knew that was Asuka's father and he was there to help.

When he finished conjuring up all the energy he needed, he waited for a clear shot. A purple disk had formed over his head and shaped like a buzzsaw.

"Come on, just a little more…NOW!" Vegeta yelled as he threw his energy attack.

As everybody in the command room looked on Makoto yelled "He's throwing his attack right at her tail!"

Misato could only think 'what is he doing?' as she and everybody watched as the attack connected with Asuka's tail. When this happened Asuka let out a painful yell, fell down to the ground and turned back to normal. Asuka was unconscious, naked and had blood coming from where her tail use to be.

Vegeta was shocked when he realized the great ape was a young girl. He descended and went over to her. 'Another Saiyan! How can this be…? Unless…' Vegeta's thought was broken when he turned the girl over and looked at her face. "No, it can't be…A-Asuka?"

Everyone looked on at this spectacle as Asuka turned back to normal. It was interrupted when Maya's computer beeped. "Wow this is odd, it seems that not only did Asuka's red/blue pattern disappear, but so did the other guy's as well."

No one seemed to care, they were too wrapped up in this odd moment before them. They watched as the man picked up Asuka in his arms and started to ascend to the night's sky. Within seconds he disappeared with no trace and the Second child was gone with him. Once they were out of their stupor, everyone realized they were gone!

"Um Major, what just happened?" asked Makoto.

Misato shock her head and said "I don't know, I just don't know." But deep down she knew exactly what just happened, a girl was protected by her father from the beast within.


Now miles away from Tokyo-3 Vegeta held his daughter in his arms. 'So this is what my child looks like. Oh how I've missed her grow up and become proud Saiyan warrior.'


A/N: Well that's the first chapter of 'Saiyan Heir' hope you enjoyed it. Please review for it would be much appreciated and read my other story 'Heroes of EVA'. ^^ I hope to update both of these stories by New Years. And now here's some randomness:


Omake:

"Status report!" Misato demanded.

Maya looked at the Major and replied "Sir, the MAGI are picking up a red/blue pattern. Its small but its there."

Misato quickly interjected. "Sir, what are you doing?"

Gendo had a smug look on his face and the said "Well I think using a giant fucking robot would be usful in a meccha anime, especially against oh I don't know? Giant monsters! Duh!"

She glared at the Commander and mumbled something almost no one could hear. "Fucking douche bag."
