Chapter 8

Four space pods blasted off from out of the craters they had been submerged in for the past week. When they had arrived, Planet Girf was a thriving planet with lots of life and many shining cities. Now as the space pods left, all that remained of the once proud planet was the blue ground and orange sky. All over the planet, the only thing that remained of the Lizadarian civilization was the rumble of their greatest cities.

And the people who were responsible for the extinction of this once glorious race were flying off into space, pleased with themselves for accomplishing their mission so efficiently. Nappa leaned back into his seat, pleased with how the younger members of their team had performed. He was of course not too surprised with Vegeta's work, almost single handedly taking out every fighter with a high power level on the planet in one day that was just another day of working with Vegeta. No he was more impressed by the kid and the long haired teenager.

The pair had destroyed every major city by the time Vegeta had recovered from his injuries and the kid had beaten a warrior with a pretty high power level. The third class saiyan had also proven to be a valuable member to their team. Even though Nappa had been able to tell that he was hesitant to go out on a Class III mission by himself, he swallowed his fear and got the job done.

"Nappa, Nappa" droned on a voice the giant saiyan recognized as the kid's. "You still haven't told us which base planet to go to yet."

"Yes Nappa," chimed in the young prince. "I want to go going as soon as possible, and you know I hate waiting while you sit in your pod like an idiot!"

Nappa just shook his head at the two young saiyan's impatience. He brought up the data Zarbon had sent him about the planet they were going to next. He still couldn't believe that the lizard tyrant was making them do three straight missions in a row, without returning to a base planet. When he saw the coordinates he gasped a little bit. The planet they were heading to was over six months away!

"We are heading to coordinates 285977643 X, 78937645Y." stated the older saiyan. He waited for the retaliation he would receive when they realized that the coordinates were not to a base planet. It was Vegeta who caught it first.

"Nappa," said his voice which was dangerously low. "You seem to be mistaken. These coordinates are not to a base planet. In fact they are coordinates to a Class III planet that's in the purging pool."

Nappa took a deep breath. "We're not going back to a base planet." Nappa could see Vegeta's eyes narrowing in his mind.

"I think I heard you wrong Nappa, I thought you said we're not going back to a base planet before our next mission."

"We're not. Frieza's orders." With a sigh, Nappa decided to tell his comrades all of the details about their assignment. "In fact, his orders are that we have to complete three Class III missions before we are allowed to return to a base planet."

"Three!" yelled Vegeta. "That's impossible! Does he want us all to die! He's given us a suicide mission."

"That damn lizard," snarled Raditz. Sirius remained silent as he thought about his chances of survival. It was looking to good at the moment.

"We can do this; just look how easily we were able to take out that last planet. We already have one out of the way, just two more." encouraged Nappa as he tried to rally his comrades.

"Yes Nappa, if you call two of us not being able to move for awhile after fighting then sure it was easy!" snarled Vegeta. Sirius had also been immobile after his fight with the lizard champion but he was not as hurt as Vegeta had been.

"Don't worry; the next planet is six months away. That will give us plenty of time to recuperate from the last planet and we'll be at full strength when we arrive."

"Six months!" Raditz exclaimed. "I've never heard of a mission being so far out."

"Oh yeah, there are missions that take years at a time just to travel to them." responded Nappa.

"Yes you third class idiot of course there are missions that far out. They just don't send weaklings like yourself on them because you would just get yourself killed." Raditz snarled at the young prince's comments.

"Oh monkeys, monkeys are you there?" interjected an elegant sounding voice. Vegeta's and Nappa's faces turned into ones of disgust as they recognized the voice.

"Zarbon." they both mumbled angrily. Sirius had only met Zarbon once but he still found the blue man infuriating from that one encounter. Raditz had never met Zarbon before, but he knew that he was Frieza's right hand man but based on how Vegeta and Nappa had reacted when they heard him, Raditz figured he was no friend of the saiyans.

"Yes it's me," said Zarbon smugly. "I have some new information for you monkeys, the rating of Planet Amazonia has changed. It is now a Class II mission." Zarbon laughed. "Have fun with that" All of the saiyans heard a click as Zarbon came out of their channel.

"Just great, now we have a Class II mission along with another Class III mission." muttered Nappa.

"That blue freak is playing with us," stated Vegeta angrily. "One day, I'm going to kill him. Him and his lizard master. We are saiyans! We are not their playthings to send across the galaxy for their own amusement, to see if we live or die."

"Yes I know how you feel Vegeta," added Siruis. "But there's nothing we can do about it now. Like it or not, their much stronger than us, but if we bide our time we can grow stronger and one day beat them. Then we'll see who has the last laugh."

Vegeta was slightly taken aback by Siruis's attitude towards their employers. He had figured that the other saiyan was a push over that just followed orders blindly and obediently like a dog.

"You may be saiyan after all," said the smirking prince. Sirius just laughed. He could see that the saiyan prince was finally becoming use to having him around. Even though Sirius didn't need the young prince's approval, he was glad he was beginning to gain it.

Raditz had remained silent throughout the entire conversation. He could not speak after finding out about the rest of their assignment. Now they were going on a Class II mission without even returning to a base planet to rest, and then to make it even worse they had another Class III mission after that. Raditz just closed his eyes knowing that he might very well die on their next mission.

Nappa had noticed the silence coming from the third class saiyan. He knew that he was probably losing the long haired saiyan fast and he knew that he had to do something.

"The good thing is that on Class II missions, while the average power level is fairly high, there are not many above average power levels." Nappa still did not hear from the teenage saiyan so he with a sigh he just began to prepare his hibernation setting.

"Alright that's enough talk. I know that this mission is going to be tough but complaining about it isn't going to help. Now everyone prepare you hibernation and get some sleep."

"Sure Nappa," answered the kid.

"Whatever," grumbled the long haired teenager.

"Humph," responded the prince.

With a nod, Nappa hit the hibernation button and curled up into his seat. In a matter of seconds, all four of the saiyans were in a deep slumber.

Vegeta was walking around in the palace of the royal family of Vegeta-sei. He had just returned from a mission and was looking forward to seeing his family again. He walked into the throne room were rows of bodyguards stood at attention, constantly on guard for any threat that might appear. He then looked up at the thrones and saw his parents standing in front of their thrones. His father was a shorter man with long flame like brown hair and a brown goatee. He wore white armor with the royal crest of Vegeta-sei on the breastplate with a black jumpsuit underneath, with white gloves and boots. His mother was the same height as his father and had long dark raven hair that went to the middle of her back. Vegeta thought she looked simply amazing in her long midnight blue dress.

As Vegeta approached his parents, he heard a loud explosion, and all of the faces in the room turned to ones of pure terror. Vegeta looked around at all of the people in the room and then he finally turned back to look at his parents. He reached towards the pair but then as his hand neared them, they burst into flames! Vegeta tried to yell but found that he could not speak. He just stood in horror staring at the pillars of flame that had been his parents.

As Vegeta stood their, one by one every other person in the room burst into flames as well. Vegeta turned to see over fifty pillars of fire standing in the room. Vegeta took several steps back and then took off into the air, trying to escape the pillars of flame. He burst through the ceiling of the palace and continued to fly higher into the sky.

Vegeta finally looked down back down at the city he had just left. All throughout the city, there were thousands of pillars of fire! Vegeta looked on in horror as all of the tall buildings of the majestic city crumbled before his eyes. The last building to fall was the palace. Vegeta watched as his home crumbled and turned to dust.

With all of the buildings gone, all that remained on the surface of the planet were the thousands of small fires Vegeta could still see. But as soon as they had started, all of the pillars of fire were extinguished at once. Vegeta looked around the empty planet that was once his home and realized that he was the only one left…

Vegeta woke with a start. He realized that he was sweating heavily so he tore the armor he was wearing off of his small body. He looked around wildly trying to find out were he was. The cool metallic voice of his pod brought him back from his temporary insanity. Remembering where he was, the young prince slowly calmed himself down.

After calming down, Vegeta began to bring up the information on Planet Amazonia. It was a smaller planet that was dark green. Vegeta read that the surface of the planet was mostly dense jungle and it was extremely hot and humid. On top of that, Amazonia had a greater gravity than most planets, five times greater than the average planet. Vegeta shrugged this off. Planet Vegeta's gravity was ten times greater than the average planet.

Vegeta pressed a few buttons on his panel and an image of a member of the Amazonians appeared on the screen. They were similar to the way saiyans appeared, only looking more brutish. Vegeta could see that their bones were far thicker than saiyan ones, but other than that they looked similar in appearance to saiyans, having hair and light colored skin. The Amazonians all had long matted brown hair and they were all extremely tall, the shortest being as tall as Nappa was.

The Amazonians appeared to be a primitive people from the data Vegeta had. They wore fur for clothes and had very primitive technology. They were organized into clans that fought over territory and food on the small planet. They're population was no were near the population of Planet Girf, but the average inhabitant of this planet was far stronger than many other species in the galaxy.

Vegeta smirked a little. These people were similar to what he imagined saiyans had been like a few hundred years ago. Wild and uncivilized barbarians that were immensely strong. Vegeta curled his hand into a fist. While I guess I'm going to have to show them that were will be only one warrior race in this galaxy!

The saiyan pods came crashing through the atmosphere of Planet Amazonia and landed in a gigantic jungle. Four saiyans stepped out of their pods all at once and looked around taking in their surroundings. They felt the added weight as the felt the heavier gravity take hold of their bodies, but they shrugged it off being use to far greater gravity. They all flew up and out of the dense canopy that was the top of the gigantic trees. The saiyans looked in every direction but all the saw was that the jungle seemed to go on with no end in all directions.

The saiyans still hovered in silence. None of them had spoken since they had awoken from their hibernation, but they all had been looking at Raditz since they had left their pods. The long haired saiyan had grown taller and had bulked out a bit during the six months they had all been in hibernation.

Nappa checked Raditz on his blue scouter and found that the teenage saiyan's power level was now at 600. Nappa's eyebrows went up as he saw that the third class saiyan's power level had gone up by 100, a substantial gain for a lower class warrior.

"That Bardock's got some good breeding stock," mumbled Nappa as he watched Raditz throw around a few punches and kicks. Raditz himself had been surprised by his increases seeing as how he had been stuck in a pod unable to train for the last six months.

"I feel great!" stated Raditz as continued to experiment with his newfound strength.

Sirius laughed at his older friend. "Yeah, yeah, so you've improved a little. You're still no match for me!" Sirius flew at the long haired saiyan and they began to wrestle in the air.

Vegeta just snorted at the pair of saiyans. "You two are idiots." Vegeta pressed a button on his red scouter and he began to look for some indication of were the Amazonians would be at. While he searched, Nappa pulled Sirius off of Raditz.

"That's enough playing for you two. Now listen up. The average power level of one of these Amazonians is 300. You two need to be in top form of we are going to survive this in one piece." The two younger saiyans nodded at the saiyan general. Satisfied that they understood what had to be done, Nappa turned towards Vegeta.

"Found anything yet?"

"Yes, I think I have. There's a bunch of power levels over in that direction. There are a few higher ones as well they shouldn't be too much of a problem though. Now let's get this over with." Vegeta blasted off towards the location of the power levels, and the other three saiyans followed him.

After a few silent minutes, the saiyans arrived at a section of the jungle that seemed to have been cleared out. Vegeta noticed that there seemed to be around fifty huts in the clearing and many of the Amazonians were running around in the clearing. His scouter alerted him of the presence of two power levels that were roughly the same as Siruis's.

"I'll take the two that are around 3,500 and you all take out the rest." ordered the young prince. The other saiyans all nodded and slowly floated down into the clearing.

All of the people in the clearing stopped moving as the strangers with the shiny armor landed in their village. The watched as the shortest one with the flamed hair looked around until he spotted the villages two strongest warriors. They watched as the child with the scarlet cape smiled evilly and then flew straight at the two warriors.

Vegeta punched one of the giant warriors in the face and sent the giant warrior flying off into the dense jungle, crashing through trees from the force of the young prince's blow. Vegeta then roundhouse kicked the other warrior which sent him flying after his fellow warrior. Vegeta smiled and then flew after the two warriors who were crashing through the jungle.

The entire village sprang into action a second after Vegeta's attack. Everyone, men and women, charged the three remaining saiyans. Siruis's scouter was going crazy with all of the high power level readings constantly showing up across the screen. With a growl he crouched down into his stance and began to fight five warriors that had jumped him.

Nappa was also fighting multiple opponents as almost the entire village swarmed the intruders. Raditz, even with his latest gain in power, was having a tough time fighting three of the weaker warriors. He grinded his teeth as he punched one away and then was sliced in the arm by a sword. The long haired saiyan grunted in pain and then blasted the attacker with a ki blast that obliterated his attacker.

Sirius was dodged and swaying trying to evade all of the weapons and fist that were flying his way. Sirius punched one of the warriors in the chest and saw the warrior fall to the ground as his heart stopped. After killing that warrior though, three more warriors joined the warriors that were already attacking Siruis. He then jumped up and out of the crowd of warriors that had swarmed him. He fired an energy wave into the crowd of people and a dust cloud came up as the wave disintegrated the warriors. Panting Sirius turned around to meet a fist that came crashing into his face. Sirius was sent flying into one of the wooden huts that came crashing down around him.

Nappa was trying to use the momentum of the weaker warriors that were attacking him to try and offset the huge advantage they had in numbers over him. As a sword came stabbing towards him, he grabbed the arm that held the sword and using the warriors momentum against him, threw him into the air.

Nappa turned back around towards the other warriors and barely managed to move his face out of the way of an oncoming spear that flew past by near inches. Nappa punched a warrior in the jaw and heard a satisfying snap as the warrior's head did a 180 on his neck. Nappa grabbed the arm of another warrior and held on to the barbarian as he swung the man around in circle, knocking down all of his fellow Amazonians within Nappa's reach.

Raditz removed his hand from a man's stomach as he looked up to see two more warriors, females this time charging him. Panting, Raditz lifted up both of his arms. Purple orbs of energy began to spark in both of his hands as he powered up one of his most deadly attacks.

"Double Sunday!" yelled Raditz as he thrust both of his arms forward and purple energy waves came out of both of his hands. Each of the purple waves hit one of the female warriors and continued past them into the forest, completely destroying any of the trees the double energy wave came into contact with. There was a loud explosion several miles off as the attack finally ended and Raditz could see large pieces of tree flying into the air where the attack had stopped. He then looked at the carved out trail of destruction his attack had caused that continued on for miles. There was no sign of the two female warriors.

Raditz looked around to see Sirius standing on top of a hut blasting anyone that came into his sight. He was disintegrating every warrior he hit with a single energy blast. Raditz had always thought that the kid had a gift for energy attacks. With a shrug Raditz charged back into the fray of combat.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Vegeta was hovering above the recovering warriors with an evil smirk on his face. He had knocked the two warriors miles away from the village so they could not help their fellow Amazonians fight his comrades. He slowly floated down onto the ground where the two Amazonian warriors stood ready to face him.

Vegeta looked at them with disgust. Everything about them was uncivilized, from their fur clothes to their matted hair. The two barbaric warriors readied themselves for battle with the small saiyan prince.

Vegeta disappeared and appeared behind the two confused warriors. Vegeta knife striked one of them in the back and sent him flying through the jungle. The warrior screamed as he tore through the giant trees of the jungle. Vegeta then jumped over the other warrior as he was turning around and delivered a hard kick to the Amazonian's face. The kick sent the warrior to the ground on his back holding his face.

Vegeta stepped over the cringing warrior with a look of disappointment on his face. Vegeta had expected at least a little bit of a fight. As the young saiyan prince brought his hand up to end the Amazonian, he felt he sudden sharp pain in the side of his head and the young prince was sent flying through a tree.

Vegeta got up with a snarl to stare at the man who had attacked him. Of course he had forgotten about the one he had sent flying through the forest. Vegeta mentally smacked himself for his mistake and then readied himself to attack the pair of Amazonian warriors again. The two Amazonian men looked at each other and nodded once and then they both sped off in opposite directions.

"Cowards!" yelled Vegeta as he fly into the air. He looked down at the forest floor and saw that the two warriors had been trying to outflank him. With a laugh Vegeta began to fire small purple energy blast at the dashing Amazonians. The area behind each of the warriors began to explode as Vegeta's blasts made contact with the ground. Vegeta laughed as he continued to fire his small blasts that were destroying the jungle beneath him.

The two Amazonian's felt the heat of Vegeta's attacks as his blasts got closer and closer to his intended targets. Vegeta watched as the two warriors ran up the tallest trees on the sides they were on. Vegeta fired blasts at the two trees and destroyed them, but as the trees were being obliterated both warriors jumped off from their trees and flew straight at Vegeta.

Vegeta watched as he was unable to move as two separate feet, one from each warrior, connected with his head. Because the force of each kick cancelled out the other, Vegeta was not sent flying across the sky of Planet Amazonia; he simply was paralyzed and fell helplessly to the ground of the jungle. The two Amazonians gracefully landed on the ground and turned their heads to look at the immobile saiyan prince that lay on the ground.

While Vegeta was still paralyzed, the two warriors charged the motionless prince again. As Vegeta slowly struggled to stand, he was kicked up off the ground by one of the warriors. He however did not go to high in the air, because as soon as he was eye level with the Amazonian the other punched the prince in the face and sent him flying through the forest.

Vegeta grunted in pain every time he flew through a tree as thousands of small splinters pierced his unarmored arms, legs, neck, and face. Vegeta finally slammed into a tree and did not have enough force to go through it but his body still left a large dent in the tree. Vegeta growled as he stood and looked at the two Amazonian warriors who now stood hundreds of feet away.

"I'm going to finish you!" yelled the humiliated Vegeta. Vegeta took to the air once again and began firing his small purple energy blast again, only this time putting more power behind them. The blasts were now destroying about ten square feet each and were quickly destroying the surrounding jungle.

The two Amazonians once again ran to each side of the jungle and ran up the side of a tree trying to repeat the success the last time they had used this strategy. This time Vegeta was ready for them. As the two Amazonian warriors neared their target and stretched out their legs to kick the young prince, Vegeta vanished. The shocked warrior neared each other, barely able to move their legs out of the way of each other to avoid hitting the other. Once their heads were about to pass each other, Vegeta reappeared and drove an elbow into each of the Amazonians heads.

Both warriors were sent crashing down onto the jungle floor. Vegeta landed behind them and brought up his right hand as the two warriors struggled to get to their knees. Vegeta laughed as he gathered energy in his hand and the two Amazonians tried to crawl away from the saiyan prince. Vegeta released the energy in his hand and a blue energy wave enveloped the two Amazonian warriors and completely obliterated the surrounding jungle. Vegeta smirked as he heard the screams of his two opponents as they were disintegrated. Vegeta looked on with some satisfaction as he saw the area of burnt forest that had just been hit by his energy wave.

Vegeta felt a pain in his head and he brought one hand up to it. He felt his head throbbing and moaned knowing that he was going to have a killer headache for awhile. Holding his head Vegeta flew off back towards the village.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

When Vegeta got back to the village he found that his comrades had already finished the village off. He saw that Sirius was destroying the bodies of the dead Amazonians while Nappa and Raditz tended to their many wounds. Vegeta saw that all of his teammates had many injuries, except Sirius who only had a few wounds.

Vegeta walked over to Siruis. "What happened to them?" he asked jerking his thumb in Nappa's and Raditz's direction.

Sirius sighed. "Raditz got attacked by one with a power level of 750 and they went at it one on one for awhile. I don't know how he did it but Raditz managed to pull out a win, but he was heavily injured. I think he broke his arm and a few ribs. Nappa got his back sliced open and he got stabbed through the calf with a spear. The only reason I'm in pretty good shape is because I was able to get up on top of one of the huts and just blast everyone."

Vegeta smirked at the second classed saiyan. "That was a pretty smart strategy. Sounds like something I would do." Vegeta stared at the second class saiyan and saw that their hair was kind of similar. Vegeta just shook the thought away and turned to look at their older comrades.

"I think we should just camp here, Vegeta." stated Sirius as he stared at the prince's back. "I think I can tend to their wounds but I'll need some supplies from the pods."

Vegeta turned back around to face Siruis. "Where did you learn to tend to wounds?"

Sirius just smiled sadly at the younger saiyan. "It was one of the things my old team made me do. I always had to tend to their wounds before I could tend to mine. They said it was something about me being the youngest on the team and because I was a second class saiyan."

Vegeta just nodded. That sounded like something elite saiyans would make lower class saiyans do. Of course he being the prince would never have been made to tend to anyone's wounds, rather they would tend to his.

"I'm going to need you to go back to the pods and get the medical supplies Vegeta while I look around here to see if I can find any bandages."

Vegeta looked at Sirius with an irritated expression. "I am the Prince of all Saiyans! I do not go and fetch things for anyone. That is servant work!"

Siruis's face changed to one of anger and his tail unwound from around his waist and began to wave behind him in an aggressive way. He had never seen anyone refuse to help out their squad before. Even though his old teammates had been arrogate assholes they would have done anything to help out a fellow comrade.

"Listen here you arrogate little prick! You are the Prince of Saiyans but you still have to help out your comrades. That's the saiyan way and even though you may not have had to do it before, you do now. Because guess what, we're the only four left!"

Vegeta snarled at Sirius with defiance. The prince's tail also unwound and began to wave behind him, each tail trying to show that they were the dominant one. "I should not have to stoop down to servant's work even if my race is almost extinct! Why can't you go get the supplies out of the pods?"

"Because I have to stay here and start treating their wounds and I have to look for anything that might help here in the village. Now if you're a trained medic in disguise, than by all means go ahead and treat Raditz and Nappa. I would be glad to go get the supplies out of the pods."

"You're not a trained medic either!"

"I'm more of one than you are! Now go get the damn supplies!"

"I will not take orders from a second class saiyan!"

Sirius opened his mouth to yell at the stubborn prince again but he was cut off from a cough coming from where Nappa and Raditz where. Both of the young saiyans looked over to see Nappa staring at the two of them.

"Vegeta," began the giant saiyan, "go get the supplies from the pods." Vegeta opened his mouth to protest, but saw that he was not going to win this fight. With a snarl, Vegeta blasted off into the green sky of Planet Amazonia. With a sigh, Nappa laid back down on the mat Sirius had made for him earlier.

Siruis, still fuming, walked away and into the huts to search for any useful supplies. He was still mad at the young prince for his selfish attitude. While saiyans were usually that way to other species or saiyans they didn't like, they usually would do anything for a comrade. Sirius didn't understand why Vegeta was being unhelpful to his own teammates.

Sirius continued to be angry as he searched around all of the huts. He found some bandages, but they were dirty so he decided to use the ones from their pods. He found a clean washcloth and a well behind one of the huts. He filled a bucket up with water and brought it and the washcloth over to his injured comrades.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Vegeta was fuming as he flew over the canopy of the dense jungle of Planet Amazonia. How dare that second class idiot give him, the Prince of all Saiyans, orders! Vegeta began to vent his anger by blasting the jungle below him, destroying large sections of it at a time. Once Vegeta had made the plush jungle a burnt wasteland for over ten minutes Vegeta finally began to calm down.

As Vegeta landed next to their pods he saw that something had discovered their pods. Their was a large yellow furred cat laying on top of one of the pods, and as Vegeta landed in front of it the cat prepared to pounce on the young prince. In the animal's eyes this small boy was easy prey for the ferocious predator.

The yellow predator growled and then pounced at the small boy that the beast planned on having for its next meal. As the cat neared it s target, Vegeta, with lightning like reflexes, grabbed the predator's throat. The cat cried out as it felt itself stop in midair and being slowly suffocated. Vegeta calmly opened the first pod as he held the yellow cat in his hand. He rummaged around the pod and took the medical supplies out of it and as he closed the pod he felt that the cat had stopped struggling.

"Humph, it seems I've managed to find dinner." Vegeta threw the dead cat on the ground, planning on picking it up later so they could cook it for dinner. Vegeta went to his pod and took out the medical supplies of his as well. Thinking that he had secured enough supplies, Vegeta prepared to head back to the village but a glowing screen in his pod stopped him cold in his tracks.

Vegeta quickly scanned the screen and then dropped all of the medical supplies he just gathered on the ground. Shaking his head, the saiyan prince checked the screen again but what he had seen did not change. Vegeta quickly walked away from the pod and retrieved the supplies and his dinner and then took off back into the sky.

When Vegeta got back to the campsite Sirius was busy tending to the wounds of their comrades. He had already taken care of Raditz, having put the long haired saiyans arm bone back into place and cleaned his various cuts and bruises. The young saiyan was now working on the long cut on Nappa's back from where he had been sliced by a sword. Every now and then the older saiyan would flinch from Siruis's prodding but Nappa remained silent.

Vegeta landed next to the fire that had been started and threw down the supplies and the cat. "There. There are your supplies and I even got us some dinner. Are you happy now that I have been reduced to servant's work!" Vegeta abruptly turned around and took off once again over the never ending jungle.

Sirius just shook his head and let the young prince go. He had to finish his work on Nappa and Raditz first then he might go after the prince. Now that he had bandages, Sirius began to cover all of the cuts on the other saiyans.

"You should go after him." stated Nappa as he saw the angry look on Siruis's face.

"Why? He can take care of himself; he's the strongest one out of all of us. Besides I think he needs to be alone to have some time to cool off."

"Whatever kid. It's just not a good idea to leave him out by himself. He might do something stupid, like attack a village by himself and I want you to make sure he doesn't do something like that okay."

Sirius sighed, finally giving into the giant saiyan's demands. "Fine I'll go get him. But I'm going to finish up on you first."

Nappa smiled a little. "You're alright kid." Sirius just smiled and pushed down into one of Nappa's cuts making the giant saiyan yelp.

"Just making sure you don't go all soft on me." Sirius smiled innocently and finished wrapping up Nappa's last wound. Sirius saluted the saiyan general and then took off to find the saiyan prince.

Sirius traced Vegeta's power level and found the prince in a small clearing in the forest. The young prince was doing his kata, and using the trees for target practice. Vegeta would punch through one and then jump over to another and roundhouse kick it in half and then blast another one.

Sirius watched in silence for awhile as he waited for the saiyan prince to acknowledge him. Vegeta continued to ignore him and continued his workout as if the second class saiyan wasn't even there. So Sirius sat down on a fallen over tree and watched Vegeta train for over half an hour.

Finally Vegeta couldn't stand it anymore. "What do you want second class?"

"Nappa sent me here to come get you." Sirius could tell that the saiyan prince was upset by something and Sirius didn't think it was about their fighting earlier.

"Humph," replied Vegeta as he continued his kata.

"What's up Vegeta? You seem a bit more angry than usual."

"Shut up! Why can't you just leave me in peace? You think you can order me around, humiliate me and then turn around and try to be all friendly! That's not how it works."

Sirius stared down the angry saiyan prince. The young prince already had a look that could kill and Sirius was having trouble maintaining eye contact. But he did not want to look weak so he stood his ground and remained next to the saiyan prince.

Vegeta finally sighed and turned away from the older saiyan. "Do you know what today is second class?"

"No, I have no idea. I didn't check the calendar when we exited the pods this morning."

Vegeta sat down on the ground and sighed again. "Today is the day I was born on, my birthday."

Sirius sat down next to the young prince after seeing Vegeta's tail droop sadly on the ground behind the prince. "Happy birthday then. I don't understand why you're so sad though. I mean it's your birthday, you should be happy. That's why the saying is Happy Birthday you know."

Vegeta looked away from the other saiyan. "You don't understand. My birthday was a holiday back on our home planet! I would be given a lavish party with a giant feast that would make even a hundred starving saiyans full. Our entire race rejoiced when I turned a year older since it meant I was drawing closer to my destiny of being the greatest warrior the saiyans had ever seen! And now look at what this day has become. No one knows it, no one cares about it. It's just another day now, and it's another reminder that my entire race is gone."

Sirius looked at the young prince sadly. He unwound his tail and grasped Vegeta's with his tail and began to gently stroke the other saiyan's tail with his. It was a way saiyans showed friendship and comforted other saiyans by using their tails as symbols of their feelings instead of saying them out loud.

"Don't worry about it Vegeta. I mean look, technically your entire race does still rejoice on your birthday because the saiyans aren't extinct just yet. While there may only be four of us left, we all still care about you. Probably more than any other random saiyan would have because we are comrades now. So tell me Vegeta, what do you want for your birthday?"

Vegeta gave Sirius one of his favorite smirks. He then grabbed his head because he felt a throbbing pain. "Well it would be great if you could stop my head from throbbing."

Sirius laughed at the prince. "Actually I know just the thing for that. My old squad members taught me how to make this drink that they could drink that would make their headaches go away."

Vegeta looked at the other saiyan puzzled. "Did they get hit in the head a lot?"

Sirius laughed again and shook his head. "No. Actually it was for when they had gone out on a base planet and gotten, what was it, wasted I think it is. It was for their hangovers I think they called it."

Vegeta laughed and stood up. "I think I'll take your 'Hangover Medicine'. I want it done in ten minutes do you understand me second class."

Sirius bowed and said sarcastically, "Oh yes my great and powerful prince."

Vegeta smirked at Siruis. "Damn right I am."

Sirius smiled again at the young prince and the pair of saiyans took off into the night sky and headed back towards their camp.
