Authors Note:
Sorry I didn't put this in first thing! Well, obviously, this story is about Vegeta's childhood under Freeza's oppression.
In my version, the saiyans have their own language. (most of it I make up as I go along, but I save some key words to make it look like an actual language. Hey, I'm not Tolkein! I don't have that kind of patience!) And the ages are a little different. Here's a key to help you out; from oldest to youngest:
Saiyan age from beginning of story
Kore`kari 29
Nappa 15
Radditz 7
Vegeta 5
Shiromi 4 ½
Now, Keera was born on Vegeta's 6th birthday, and Turles is a year older than her. So you do the math.
And also in my version, Krystal is supervising her little brother because he's still in training. Hehehe ^_^. Most of Freeza's henchmen he's borrowing from her. It isn't until later that he "graduates" his training and goes on to conquering on his own. (in ice-jin years, Freeza's only 14 when he destroys Vegeta-sei. But that's 82 in human years)
Just in case you were wondering about the whole saiyan pregnancy thing, it takes four months (from intercourse) for a saiyan fetus to be fully developed. A leeetle faster than humans, noh dah? So that's why Kore`kari's belly grew so fast. Nyan. _ (glad she isn't saiyan)
Inspiration sources: DBZ (painfully obvious), some choice phrases and superb adjectives from The Scarlet Letter, believeitornot some character traits from Stephen King's Dreamcatcher, some help on child behavior from Oninu-san's Bumper Babes and Queen of the Saiyans, complex and intriguing sentence structure from our illustrious Frances Potter, a few descriptive phrases from Mary Stuart's The Crystal Cave and The Hollow Hills, and several little-known facts on saiyans from various fansites. There, I believe credit has been given where due.
Now that all this is cleared out of the way, please enjoy the story that was five years in the making!
