"Hey, there's a building right in front of you!"
Goku had been awakened rudely when the computer blared out a message, something about the planet Yaarsdat. Goku looked out the window and that the ship was going to land on the planet in front of them. After they had passed through the clouds, Goku saw a large city below them. As the ship continued to gain speed, Goku saw that it was going to smash the top of one the buildings.
"Minor damage to the ship will occur." The computer replied to his remark.
"But what about the building?"
"About three stories will be lost," the computer responded, "Lost of life: twenty beings."
"Twenty people are going to die?" Goku cried.
"Minimum," the computer added, "Would you like to increase the number?"
"What?" Goku couldn't believe a machine could ask that type of question," No! I want to kill nobody and destroy nothing."
"But the mission is too annihilate the Yaarsdats."
"Well, that's not my mission," Goku was starting to panic. He figured another thirty seconds and the ship would collide with the building.
"What is the mission?" the computer asked, without any emotion.
"To protect them?" Goku said, hopefully. The tower was about two kilometers away.
"Very well," the ship made a sudden turn up. It caught Goku off guard, forcing him into his chair. When he was able to see out the window, the ground was coming very fast.
Before Goku could say anything, the ship crashed into the ground. But the ship remained intact, much to Goku's surprise. And delight. The ship soon came to a stop and the hatch opened. He stepped out and saw that the ship had caused a huge crater.
"Just like Raditz's." Goku murmured. That's when he heard whispers above him and saw strange creatures above him. They had no nose. Their skin was folded several times beneath their large eyes. Goku couldn't tell what color their skin was. He was deciding whether it was a pale green or a pale brown (or both) when one of them spoke.
"Greetings traveler."
"Hi," Goku replied, "Sorry about the mess. And the near miss."
"Nobody was hurt, that's all that matters," the alien replied, "Scared, but not hurt."
"Sorry," Goku said, climbing out of the crater, "Ship was actually programmed to collide into that building before I changed its course."
"Why was it programmed to do such a thing?" the Yaarsdat asked.
"I'll explain everything if you have something to eat." Goku said, clutching his stomach.
"I think that can be arranged," the Yaarsdat said. He then turned to the others, "Prepare a feast for our Saiyan friend." They walked off. Goku stood still for a few moments, stunned that they knew he was a Saiyan. Shaking the feeling off, he ran to catch up to them.
"Your shift's over Celipa." Toma said as he walked onto the bridge.
"Toma," she said, surprised, "I didn't hear you come in."
"Too interested in hyperspace to notice me?" Toma said, smiling. Celipa
"Ha, ha," Celipa muttered, "I was actually more interested with this strange signal that the radar's been getting." She turned back to the console. Toma came over and looked over her shoulder. He saw strange characters next to a dot that was constantly flashing.
"What does it mean?" he asked. In answer to his questions, the engines revved. He stood to his full height and turned towards the door so as to listen. That's when the ship shuddered and it returned into normal space.
"What just happened?" Toma asked, not understanding.
"That." Celipa said. Toma looked at her out the corner of his eye. Then he saw what was outside.
"King Cold's ship," he whispered. Celipa could tell he was scared. She said nothing, as the ship closer.
"I'd better wake the others." Toma said, heading for the door.
"No need," he heard a voice say. That's when the other Saiyans came in.
"Guys, we got a problem." Toma began.
"They know." A voice behind them said; a familiar voice.
That's when a massive shadow fell on the other Saiyans. That's when the giant's form stood in the small doorframe. Beside it stood several smaller warriors, either with a gun or a palm aimed at them.
"Did you really think you could get away unnoticed?" the giant said.
"We were hoping so Cold." Toma said.
"So, how did you know I was Saiyan?" Goku said, after finishing his story and a third course. Servants brought in more food, apparently not at all surprised at how much the Saiyan ate.
"You've been here before," Ardat, the Yaarsdat who had welcomed him, said, "Many times."
"No," Goku said, confused, "This is my first visit here."
"Show me the other side of your face," Goku complied, not understanding, "Ahh, I'm sorry, I mistook you for one who looks much like you, but he has a scar right next to his left eye. Do you who I'm talking about?"
" Afraid not, "Goku said, taking a bite from his food, "I lost my memory when I was a kid. I only knew that I was a Saiyan until I was twenty-three."
"How did you remember that?" Ardat asked, intrigued.
"My brother, Raditz, told me."
"Raditz is your brother?" Ardat was shocked, "I never knew he had one."
"I'm his younger brother."
"Oh," Ardat fell silent, "So, you killed Freeza by transforming into the SuperSaiyan. Can you show it to us?" Goku shook his head.
"I'm not angry right now. Piss me off, maybe I'll transform."
"I would rather avoid that course of action," Ardat said seriously, "But perhaps we can teach you how to transform voluntarily."
"That'd be great."
"We can start the lessons as soon as you finish eating." Ardat said. Goku looked down at his now empty plate.
"I'll have one more," Goku said, "This stuff is quite filling."
"So, you think that the Dragonballs of Namek resurrected you?" King Cold asked. The Saiyans had been brought aboard his ship and we're now on the bridge.
"It's the best story we have so far." Vegita replied.
"And why do you think that my son would resurrect you?" King Cold, facing them.
"Freeza was on Namek?" Vegita asked.
"Yes," King Cold said,
walking over to Vegita, "He was collecting the Dragonballs for immortality."
Vegita's eyes widened, "But apparently, he ran into some trouble."
"What kind of trouble?" Vegita asked.
"It does not concern you." Cold now towered over the Saiyan. Vegita fell silent. He felt overpowered. And he was trying to control his anger because of that.
"It might concern us." A voice said. Cold looked down upon the speaker.
"Oh really." He growled, "How so?"
Tanipu stepped forward, "From what I gather about your son and from what I know about Lord Vegita's misfortune, I believe he's encountered your sons killers."
"How do you know that my son was killed?" King Cold asked.
"I was guessing before." Everyone on the room shuddered. Some of them started to back away. Even the Saiyans were debating if they should move away from Tanipu. Then King Cold started to chuckle.
"Clever girl," he said, "Yes, he was killed. But our you saying that your Prince killed his own people."
"What?" the Saiyans asked in unison.
"Because that's who I believe who killed. Prince Vegita, along with two Earthlings, one of which was a Saiyan." Vegita shot a glance at Tanipu. She was still staring at Cold.
"It wasn't my son," Vegita said, "It was to creatures of unknown origin and immense power."
"For you Saiyans, it doesn't take much to be labeled immense," Vegita growled, "But since you are here, I allow you to learn the identity of my son's killer," as he said this, a man who had been waiting by the door stepped forward, "What have you learned from Freeza's head?"
"We learned a lot, most of his brain was still intact," he said, "although it will still take a lot of work to repair him."
"That's not my concern right now," King Cold said, "Who killed him?" the man didn't answer, "Well?"
"I do…don't want to alarm you sir…" he stammered.
"Who killed him?" the king yelled, making the room shake and the people tremble.
"Kakkarot." The man replied in a small voice.
"Who is he?" Cold asked, puzzled.
"My son," Tanipu answered, stunned. King Cold turned and faced her. Now, he was angry and shocked that Freeza was killed by a lower being. Tanipu returned his look, smiling, "My son killed your son."
"Then he deserved to die."
"Actually," I would give him more credit than that sir," the man said. When King Cold looked at him, his fear returned, but he managed to say, "Kakkarot was a SuperSaiyan." And with that, King Cold incinerated the man.
