Chapter 2
"I'm really sorry for attacking you," Goku said. "I know how it feels being assumed to be something you're not."
"I'm sorry I retaliated so powerfully," Rooks replied, "Are sure your son can be healed with these Senzu beans you speak of?"
"Sure. Look, Dr. Briefs and the rest are here with your power report," commented Goku.
"Well, after the tests in the Capsule Corp. gravity room, we've deduced that your power level is only slightly lower than Vegita's," Dr. Briefs said. Rooks thanked him for it and the spare room at the Capsule Corp. HQ.
"I guess this should serve as a fair warning should you try to attack me, Rooks," Vegita stated coldly.
"Actually, if you knew my past, you might want to stay away from me," Rooks muttered under his breath.
"I heard that," Piccolo said, and told the others.
"Tell us," Krillin said.
"Yeah," Gohan exclaimed, "I'm always in the mood for a good story."
"Alright," Rooks said, "Here goes..."
"Yes, I am a Saiyan, and a Super Saiyan 2 to boot, and my parents were sent to conquer and purge the planet Namek of all opposition just before Freeza destroyed planet Vegita. They were overpowered and out of reinforcements since the Namekians were much more powerful than they had expected, so they hid in a cave for six months. It takes only six months for a Saiyan baby to be conceived and delivered, and I was born at the end of those six months. My parents went on a suicide run, killing three and being killed the day after I was born. The Nameks searched the cave after they found it, found me, and took me in as one of their own."
"How could you know Kaioken if you never died to recieve King Kai's training," Piccolo asked, entralled in this twisted tale.
"Let me finish," Rooks said."The Nameks trained me in their ways. The Nameks my parents killed were revived, and they taught me skills they had learned from King Kai. They even taught me the signature Saiyan move used on them, the Garlic Gun. When I turned sixteen, they gave me a monitor they had found in the cave along with me. In it, my parents had enclosed information about the Saiyan legacy, Oozaru, the Super Saiyan, and even you, Prince Vegita. Naturally, I had my tail cut off for fear of turning Oozaru and killing my friends. I eventually left to smite all evil. In my quest I stole the Freeza spaceship I came here in. I came along with my adoptive Namekian brother, Cello, but he was killed by by the original owner of the spaceship. I came here to rid the planet of all evil, but it appears I'm not really needed."
"Nonsense," Goku said, "We've dealt with every threat from the vile Freeza to the Legendary Buu. Why, even Piccolo and Vegita were once threats to this planet! There's always room for one more. And we can revive your brother with our own set of Dragonballs."
"Wow," Rooks said in bewilderment, "Just all of you were able to destroy Buu!?! AND you have Dragonballs? But, I don't want to revive Cello; I want him to be at peace."
"Actually," Krillin stated, "we've had help from others like Yamcha, Tien, and Chaotzu. Goku's son, Goten, and Vegita's son, Trunks, help out some, but they're at a sleepover at Goten's this weekend. You sure about your brother?"
" I'm sure Cello would rather be with his forefathers. Wow," Rooks said, "If you guys get that much action, then I've got to stay here and fight alongside you!"
"Excellent," Dr. Briefs said, "Your spaceship's technology is advanced enough to make sure Capsule Corp. stays ahead of the competition for years!"
"Alright everyone," Goku said cheerfully, "A toast to the newest Z-Soldier, Rooks!"
Around three o' clock that night, the door opened to Vegita's Capsule Corp. bedroom. A huge, hulking, and shadowy figure slowly walked in, and stopped a few feet from Vegita's bed. He raised two fingers to eye level and a small ball of ki appeared an inch above his long, black fingernails. The figure shrieked, "Mega Drain!" and the blast shot from him onto Vegita and immediately started draining his power.
Vegita spotted his attacker in his indiscribable pain and cried, "No! It-It can't be! You're dead!"
"Actually, now that I have you and your friends's power, I've never been more alive! I've waited many years for this, and now I control your fates! Power Ring!" Suddenly, a pink ring formed around Vegita, crushing him and his hope of escape. The figure carried him to the Capsule Corp. Storage Room where he had stashed the others, and toosed Vegita in. "As soon as I collect the Dragonballs and become immortal, I'll come back and destroy you all! It's fortunate I survived the blast intended to destroy me, or I would never have been able to teleport to a safer planet, train for years, and come bavk to kill each and every one of you!" He laughed for a few seconds, and flew away, never noticing Rooks.
"I'm really sorry for attacking you," Goku said. "I know how it feels being assumed to be something you're not."
