Brothers Under the Sun
Chapter 1: I Had a Dream
11 years later…
In a large spaceship, a tall, regal man faced down a diminutive tyrant. The tyrant sipped a glass of wine, waiting for the taller man to make the first move. He appeared to be toying with the man.
"Frieza, this tyranny has gone on long enough! I have come to free my people from your evil ways!" the man declared.
Frieza chuckled sadistically, "And how do you intend to do that, insolent monkey?"
The man growled, clasping his tail around his waist in battle mode, "By destroying you once and for all," the man did not wait for an answer, and fired a rather large and powerful beam of light at the purple alien. It was all the power he had been storing up for years, it had to be enough to destroy the evil one.
Frieza simply raised a hand and caught the beam in his hand, forming it into a ball, "Is this all the power you have? Well, perhaps it is time that I get rid of you if that's all I can expect of you." With that, Frieza returned the beam back where it came from before the regal figure could even hope to defend himself. The man fell, eyes staring lifelessly at nothing. Frieza pressed a button on his little hovercraft, "Now, I will rid myself of all of you little, pathetic monkeys."
He went out among the battle that was taking place between his men and the rebels. Another tall man, with poky-hair and a red bandana met him.
"FRIEZA!" he shouted, "THIS ENDS HERE!! WE'D RATHER DIE AS FREE MEN THEN LIVE AS YOUR SLAVES!"
Frieza said nothing but raised a finger, a tiny golden light forming there. It grew from the size of a pea to the size of the planet below within seconds. He sent the light at the rebels and the planet of red. It engulfed them both with a great explosion. Or at least, it sounded like an explosion.
"GET UP! GET UP!" came a female's shout that clearly didn't belong in this scene.
Wait, that wasn't an explosion, Harry realized as he came to wakefulness. He sat up. It was his aunt, banging on the closet door.
"GET UP!" Aunt Petunia shouted again, "Come and finish cooking the bacon, and don't you dare burn it! I want everything to be perfect, for my Dudder's birthday."
Meanwhile…
"What do you mean our home is gone!" Prince Vegeta shouted incredulously. He was only eleven years old, he didn't understand what was happening.
Lord Frieza hung his head in sympathy, "It was a terrible tragedy, Vegeta no Ouji. A giant comet has collided with Vegetasei and destroyed it."
The little prince shook his head in denial, "No! NO! It's not true! It's not true! My father was powerful enough to stop a measly comet! It can't be true!"
"Yes," Frieza continued, still feigning sorrow intending to get the prince on his side. "Your father tried, but the comet was just too enormous. I believe it may have been sent by a planet that we have recently conquered, perhaps in revenge."
Vegeta looked at the three Saiyans standing with him, one of them a year younger than he was. The younger one wiped his eyes. "Tell me he's lying! He must be lying! It can't be true!" he grasped onto the armor of the tallest man, the one who had been his bodyguard since he was a baby. "Nappa! Tell me it's not true!"
The body guard did not meet his prince's eyes. He remembered a discussion he'd had with the king prior to the battle.
Flashback:
The King rallied his army for a final battle with Frieza. Now was the time to do or die. And now they were on their way. But before Nappa could leave to join his people the King called him back.
"Your Highness," Nappa said, a tone of question in his voice.
"You are not to join the battle." King Vegeta ordered.
"But Your Highness, it is my duty!" Nappa protested. A Saiyan did not run away from a battle like a coward and leave his people to die without him.
The King explained, not bothering to scold the man, "I need you to live, Nappa. My sons will need you."
Nappa gave the King an odd look. Had the stress of the coming battle gotten to him? "Sons, sire?"
"Yes, I know quite well what is coming. I've known since Lord Frieza had my wife assassinated." King Vegeta began, "Our planet will not survive this battle. I will not survive this battle. Frieza will obliterate our entire race. But what he doesn't know is that eleven years ago, I had one of my sons sent to a planet called Earth." he waited for the fighter to stop being shocked, "In order to protect him. Another thing Frieza doesn't know is that, over the years I have many of our kind, children, sent to various planets, using a special chip to hide their power level and suppress the need to fight. This I had done in effort to preserve our race and kingdom."
Nappa gaped, "What would you have me do, Your Highness."
"Go to Frieza, declare your loyalty to him so that you might be there to protect my son. Take Bardock's sons with you. I promised him that I would protect them." King Vegeta ordered, "If things play out like I expect them to, I want you to tell my son about his brother and find him. Also find the others that I had hidden away. The Saiyan Race will rise again, and we will destroy Frieza one day. I have no doubt of that. His executioner will be a Saiyan.
End Flashback
"NAPPA!" Prince Vegeta shouted, snapping the soldier out of it, "TELL ME!"
"I'm sorry, Ouji-sama, but what Frieza says is true. Our planet has been destroyed. And your father and our people with it."
AN: Well, how's that for a beginning?
