Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ.

And I'm not answering DBGT related questions anymore, as the series doesn't even make sense and absolutely not canon.

By the way, I'm thinking about sticking to the true Vegeta character. The Saiyan Saga Vegeta. Of course he will go through changes (from evil to good) to make this character developed. BUT I won't make him OOC like what Akira Toriyama did after the Saiyan Saga to destroy him. I will write this character of true Vegeta just how he should have been and developed from there! That will slightly alter the DBZ universe a bit, but I won't make Vegeta go through some crap like what Akira did.

The real Vegeta is reborn.


Vegeta's Dark Side

Watch me, Malus, as I'm taking something precious away from you, Vegeta thought, slightly looked downwards barely at his feet in front of him.

This Vegeta was cruel, patient, and devious. This Vegeta was the true version, unlike the Namek Saga and beyond. This was the prince of all Saiyans, the real Vegeta. The Vegeta that should have been and not changed every single good quality about him.

He could have simply killed every single living creature on this planet in a blink of an eye, including Malus and Goku. However, that would spoil all his barbaric fun that he was about to have with the disgusting excuse for a Saiyan, the warrior race. But of course, the girl included.

Vegeta immediately bored his eyes into Malus' dark ones who met icy black irises of the Saiyan prince, followed by his grotesque grin on his young face.

"V-Vegeta?" Malus quickly caught his icy stare. Something is not right.

"NOW, NAPPA!" Vegeta yelled before Nappa flew into the high sky as he held scared little Bardia.

"MALUSH!" Bardia screamed, almost said Malus' name right. The small boy was crying as he saw his only family he had left here turned small as a size of an ant in his eyes. "Mas…"

Goku was trapped in a déjà vu of an event that roughly took place about a year ago. Raditz did the same to Gohan, he thought. There was nothing Goku could do now; Nappa was a lot faster than Raditz. Unless…

"What the Hell!" Malus cried out as she suddenly felt strong arms wrapped around her constricted body. She could not break free, apart from her heightened hearing-sense that she detected Vegeta's breathing on her stiffened neck, creeping the crap out of her.

There was nothing she could do; Vegeta was stronger than she thought he would be. A powerlevel of twelve-thousand or no, she was still no match for Vegeta. Besides, she did not know how to fight. All her life, she was limited as a human being. Now she was ripped away from her home as a dead girl, reborn in this life that she had no control over whatsoever. A maniac prince telling her that she was born on planet Vegeta on the same day it got destroyed.

"One move, and she's ripped to shreds," Vegeta said coolly with a smirk, instantly terrifying the Earth's defenders. Perfect! Kakarot doesn't want this wench to die. With just one look at that clown, I knew instantly that his heart is made of something weak, Vegeta thought as he snickered evilly behind Malus, his hot breath met her pale skin. I even impress myself sometimes.

"Kakarot! Use the Kaio-Ken!" Malus finally gave out.

The one simple hope that Goku had, was to rely on his Kaio-Ken. If only Malus did not let her guard down when Vegeta held her.

"The Kaio-Ken?" Vegeta questioned to himself, still held her shorter body close to him, her scent all over him.

How does she know about my attack that even Gohan and Krillin don't know about? Goku looked dumbfounded.

"If you fetch Bardia for me, I will repay you! I will side with you! PLEASE!"

Finally, Krillin and Gohan both thought. Malus would be on their side. If only Goku…

I can't do the Kaio-Ken, or else he will kill her. No joke! Goku thought angrily. I-I can't!

"What is this Kaio-Ken that my dad is able to do, Krillin?"

"I have no idea, Gohan!" Krillin replied.

Vegeta growled out of annoyance. This girl needs to shut up!

"Okay, fine then… GOKU! You happy now? I'm asking, you as an Earthling, to help my nephew!" Malus pleaded. She was running out of time and options. It was now or never.

Did she just call Goku by his human name and not Kakarot for the first time? Everyone were thinking this.

"One more word, girl, you can forget about seeing your nephew ever again," Vegeta threatened, caused Malus to blink her eyes twice out of fear. The mass murderer was behind her and got her locked up in his strong arms while his hot breath reached her neck. She was trembling.

"Goku! What are you standing? Go save Bardia!" Krillin shouted.

"Daddy!"

"NO, I can't!" Goku shouted back, stole everyone's attention to him, including the evil Vegeta. Or else everyone here will die, including Gohan and Krillin. At least… Bardia will stay alive this way along with everyone here.

"Why not?! DO IT, KAKAROT!" Malus begged while screaming to reach out to Goku, totally ignored Vegeta's threat.

"My Kaio-Ken isn't that powerful to save you and Bardia together!" Goku felt weak in the knees. If only there was a way for him. If only he could save both. "Not to mention protecting Gohan and Krillin at the same time, too."

"Hey, Kakarot," Vegeta started. "If it'll make you feel better, Nappa is already far away from here with the brat. So it's best to give up, unless you want to see the last of this pretty little face of hers."

B-Bardia… No… Malus felt weak. "No…"

"I'm sorry, Malus…" Goku sighed in defeat.

"Y-you…" Malus gulped. "Kakarot! You… call… yourself… the savior…" She paused.

"Goku! You should have saved Bardia!" Krillin looked angry at his best friend. Now, we have to face the wrath of two powerful Saiyans.

"YOU IDIOT!" Malus broke free from Vegeta's grasp. Not that she was very strong at that moment; she felt weak in the knees. It was Vegeta who let her go, as he found entertainment in Malus' hurt that she felt because of the other full-blooded Saiyan besides Vegeta: Goku. "You idiot…" She repeatedly whispered.


Power levels:

Malus: 12.036

Goku: 5.112
Goku (angered): 9.049
Vegeta: 18.000


Well, would you still be moral even if Earth is about to get destroyed when the most precious thing that you had left, the only family member to be exact, got taken away from you? No. Real people have anger, drive, ambitions — real people are selfish, if not embarrassing when they're given a blank check. That's why I can't relate to Goku. He's too freaking perfect, that he's a Gary Stu.

Malus is pissed at everyone there. Even though it was Vegeta who did this to her, Malus didn't expect Goku not to save her defenseless two-year-old nephew. Goku is the hero, so he was for saving everyone and keep them alive. But Malus, who truly loved Bardia, begged him to save her nephew and didn't think about how it'll affect Krillin, Gohan, and everyone there. This form of idealism clashes with Goku, and even with Vegeta.

I had to do something to anger Malus to get her to grow up and learn from this. Real people have to feel hurt to develop. Malus is not perfect, so she will make a lot of mistakes. One of them is when she's blaming Goku now. Both Goku and Vegeta truly hurt Malus in an unforgivable way.

I know that you guys requested in your reviews that she should side with the good right at the start. However, it won't be interesting to make Malus a hero instantly without making her go through some major ups and downs. The same goes with being a villain. Choosing sides by some Earth's moral standards, doesn't make her a Saiyan. You won't feel that she's even a Saiyan. Instead, you will think she's just a human with a bad temper. I don't want to make her a second Vegeta. I want her to develop her own Saiyan attitude and Saiyan ways. From human to Saiyan, that's her journey.
