disclaimer; Look at any other fanfic to know what I should have written here. I'm too lazy to do it myself.
authors note; yeah I know, the prologue may have been some boring, but the real action will start soon. I promise!
My first fanfic…*bounce bounce* oh well for all peeps who want to say 'this is not like Vegeta' response; of course, he has changed a lot and besides, there are only a few stories with a good Vegeta.
CHAPTER1
Mikki was excited about the sight. They had passed Pluto about an half hour ago. "So, what are we going to do now?" "Well, a lot of things will have changed since my last time in space. Let's find out what's going around now." "How?" "You'll see."
Mikki got bored quickly. Vegeta knew she would and gave here some pencils and paper. She started to draw. The next day her drawings covered half of the floor already. Vegeta ordered her to clean the mess, otherwise he would throw them away. Mikki started to cry, a thing Vegeta hated, and finally he helped her cleaning the mess, grumbeling.
He hit his head on the floor when the ship suddenly stopped. he cursed loudly. Mikki blushed and looked out the window. "Where are we now? I see nothing." Vegeta looked too, still rubbing his head. The only thing he saw were pieces of metal, flying around. "Damn. The space station here must have been destroyed." "So, what now?" "Try to find another space station, I guess. I wonder who can have destroyed this one." "Oh, look! There are other space ships here!" Something beeped. "Hm. We're being hailed. Mikki, be quiet now." Vegeta put the screen on. "You are on the territory of the Dijan. Surrender, or you will be destroyed." "Well, come and destroy me, if you want so badly." Vegeta broke the link. "Idiots." The ship rumbeled. Mikki yelled. Vegeta tried to avoid their blasts, but the ship was to slow. He cursed. He didn't even have weapons himself! "Mikki, hold on, we'e going to land! It will be rough!" Vegeta directed the ship towards a small planet. Mikki yelled again. Some controls exploded. Several drawings of her started to burn. "Mikki, stop sreaming and try to put the fire out!" Mikki didn't listen, she was in panic.
The ship shook heavily when they entered the atmosphere. Mikki still hadn't stopped yelling. Vegeta rubbed in his eyes. The smoke coming off the drawings irritated his eyes. The ship crahsed. Mikki stopped yelling. It was silent for a few minutes. Mikki looked around her. Tears were in her eyes. More drawing started to burn. "Vegeta?" No response. "Vegeta? Please? I'm sorry." No response. Mikki started crying softly. "I will listen from now on, but please, say where you are. I'm scared." Silence... Mikki looked around the wreck and lifted some pieces of metal. She found Vegeta, unconscious. "Vegeta! Wake up!" She paniced again. She had to leave this ship, quickly, but she couldn't leave Vegeta... She grabbed his arms and dragged him out the ship. She panted. He was heavy for such a little turtle as she was. She stopped for a moment, and went on, until they were a hundred meters away from the ship. Mikki sat down. She was exhausted and she cried. The ship rumbeled. Mikki fell on her back. It exploded. "Oh no!" Mikki sniffed and tapped Vegeta's face. "Please, wake up! I need you!" Vegeta didn't respond. Mikki cried again.
"Hey, little one, where do you come from?" Mikki yelled and pulled back in her shield. A small, thin man, looked at her, curiously. He tapped on her shield. "Hey, I don't want to hurt you. Come out that shield. I think your friend needs help. You know what? Let's take him to my place. There's a good docter there. Ok?" Mikki's head appeared out her shield. "Really?" "Yes." "Ok than."
Vegeta woke up when someone put a wet towel on his head. he looked up. Mikki smiled at him. "You're awake!" She hugged him. "What,Where am I?" "At my house, sir." Vegeta looked at the one who said it. The man was quite human-like, but he was much thinner and smaller, his face too. He had larger eyes, and long, dark brown, curly hair. "Hey, you are a Syllian, aren't you?" "Yes, I am." "Well, at least not a hostile planet." "Your ship is completely broken, sir." "Oh great. What now?" "Some people are looking at it now, I think we can repair it. Otherwise you can get one of ours." "One of yours? You have space ships?" "Yes, of course we have." "Last time I checked your planet there were none." "Must have been a long time ago." "Yeah, now you mention it...It was a long time indeed...Auch..my head." "You'd better take a little rest. Haven't been in space for a long time, huh?" "Yeah...Seems such an eternity.."
Vegeta's words were cut off by the sound of several explosions." "Get into the basement! The Dijan are attacking again!!" Vegeta ran outside to see what was happening. "No! get inside! They'll kill you!" Vegeta smirked. Inside his ship he had been vulnurable, because its destruction would mean his air was cut off, and his death. But here, it would be fun. He charged, became super saiyan, and started blasting ships. In his first attack he destroyed five ships. More came, twenty ships were flying around, and shooting at him now. It didn't even hurt Vegeta. He flew up and started playing with them. The ships tried to follow, shoot at him, but Vegeta was too fast. The ships hit each other, crashed on mountains, or were shot by Vegeta. Only three ships were able to flee.
Vegeta landed and wnet back to normal state. "Safe!" Some Syllians climbed out their basements and peeked out a window. It was a mess, the space wrecks were lying around, craters in the ground. But they didn't mind. The attack was over and none of their people had been hurt. Many of them ran out their houses and cheered. Mikki hugged him. "That was great, you kicked their asses!" The man who helped them first ran to Vegeta. "I don't know how to thank you! That was unbelieveble! Those guys are attacking us for years, they have destroyed many cities, killed so many people... and you just blew them away! How?" "Ehm...I'm just strong. But why are those guys atacking you?" "They say our planet is theirs, and that we are their slaves. We don't want that, but they are so much stronger! We don't know how to resist them!" Vegeta smiled. He couldn't believe he landed on the right place so soon. And this could be fun. "I'll stay here." "You will? That's great! You can stay at my house now. Oh, by the way, my name is Camen, what's yours?" "Vegeta." "And I am Mikki!" "My turtle." "You're welcome, too, of course." Mikki smiled and jumped up and down.
At his home, Camen told more about the war.
"They attacked for the first time ten years ago. We had invented space ships twenty years before that, and we had met them before. They are quite an aggressive race, and always trying to expand their territory. Until that time, they weren't able to attack us, our defensive system was too strong for them.
But suddenly, they got much stronger ships, and often there were fighters traveling with them, landing and killing everthing in sight! We hadn't seen those fighters before, strange aliens, races we had never heard of before. They first destroyed our capitol, after that all the other large cities. We have tried to talk to them, but they refused. This is one of the last normal villages left. Most of our people are living underground. You, in fact, are the first alien who landed on our planet and isn't hostile. I knew you could be an ally when I recognized the damage on your ship. It could only have been caused by Dijan."
"I know Dijan. But when I traveled around in space, long ago, they were a pathetic race. They have developed fast." "Yes they did." "But still no match for me. Do you know where they will attack next time?" "I don't know. But I know someone who could know. A few miles from here, there's a small millitary base. A friend of me works there. He might know." "Let's go there. No time to waste." "No wait. If we walk in the open field someone might attack us." "Who said we would walk?" Vegeta picked Camen up and flew away. "Just tell me where to go." "Ehr...ok. A little more to the left. Fly a little lower. We are almost there. I think we'd better walk the last part. It's only a few hundred meters from here." Vegeta landed. "Follow me." Vegeta looked around. "I see nothing." "It's a hidden base."
Camen pulled a flower. A door opened from the ground. Vegeta raised one eyebrow. "Tricky." They walked inside. Some men with guns checked them. Camen explained Vegeta could be trusted.
Another man ran to Camen and cheered. "Camen! You're alive! I was so worried! We received shipsignals from above your village. You have been under attack?" "Yes, we were. But he there (he pointed to Vegeta) saved us all." "He alone?" "Yes. You should see his power! He took them down in a blink of an eye! He's on our side!" "That's great! We definitely can use some help now!" He turned to Vegeta. "Would you excuse us for a minute please. I have to discuss some tactics with Camen." "Whatever you want."
He dragged Camen to another chamber. "Camen! Do you think that's a good idea! It could be a trick!" "Calm down, Fuji! I found him unconscious in the middle of nowhere, his ship totally broken. And when the Djian attacked he blocked them all! And this wouldn't be a kind of trick the Dijan's would use." "Maybe they want more information about us. Our secret bases, the location of all the hiding places, and so on." "I won't show him these. The only thing I want to know is; where will the Dijan attack the next time and when?" "We don't exactly know. They might attack in the notheren units, 51 and 53, I think within a few days, but I'm not sure. They are difficult to predict now." "Thank you. He might help with defending ourselves." Fuji sighed deep. "If this is a spy after all... We are doomed." "Well, think of this...Why would they send a spy that would be so strong he could blow us all without effort anyway?"
Camen went back to Vegeta, who was waiting with Mikki. "We go to the north. They might attack there." "That's fine. Do you need to pack or something?" "No, I'll be fine. I know anpother place where we can stay there." "Ok." Vegeta picked Camen up and flew away. "We fly again?" "Of course. It's much faster. Just tell me where to go." "Ok. Turn a little more to the right and follow that path, below us."
In two hours they had reached the place. It was quite cold and snowy there, laying between the mountains in the deep north. Mikki shivered. Vegeta landed and put Camen down. "Wow. That was fast. Normally it takes about two days to travel here." "You have to learn how to fly." "Our power is too low to do that." "Hmpf. You are weaker than humans." "Humans?" "Never mind." "There's a village over there. We can stay there. Let me introduce you there first. People are a little suspicious here."
Some people walked to them. Camen talked to them. Finally, after twenty minutes, they agreed Vegeta and Mikki could stay there. They got a little house on the outside of the village for so long.
The cold didn't bother Vegeta, but it did Mikki. She was shivering, almost shaking. Vegeta wrapped her in some clothes and put her in a bed. "As soon those guys have attacked this place we'll leave." She just nodded and squeezed her eyes.
Vegeta stayed in the house for the rest of that day. The people here avoided him. The sun set.
Camen knocked on the door. "Vegeta, please, open up quickly." Mikki opened. "What is it?" "Where is Vegeta?" "Here I am. What is it? I was sleeping." "I think the Dijan will attack soon. It's so dark now, darker than normally." "Afraid for the dark? Please, I'm not here to hunt the boogie man away..." "No. you don't understand, normally there should be two moons now. There are no clouds now, the sky is clear...But we can't see them. Maybe the Dijan have blocked their light. Now we can't see them, It's too dark." "Ow, whatever. I come."
Nobody was outside when Vegeta came out the house. "Are they all hiding?" "Yes. Come with me. I know a good place where you can attack them."
Camen and Vegeta walked two miles until Vegeta stopped. "Hey, if they are going to attack the village, what should I do HERE!" Camen smiled "You'd better be silent. And do nothing. Absolutely nothing." His hand hand changed of form, into a knive and he moved forward. Vegeta grabbed his arm. "So, you are a transformer huh? Let me tell you one thing. I can't be killed THAT easy." At that moment, Vegeta felt a cold, sharp thing penetrate his back. He turned around and saw another man who had stabbed him. He blasted him away. He threw the transformer away and shot several Ki-blasts at him. He vaporized. Vegeta pulled the knife out his back. Blood ran down his back and legs. This was severe. He had to go back quickly and stop the bleeding.
When he flew up, he saw several lights flying around in the distance. An attack! He flew at full speed back to the village.
People were running around in panic, several houses were burning . Vegeta felt himself weakening quickly. He had to close the wound. Do that first... He had no idea if there was docter around, he had to do this himself. He knew one quick way to do it. He removed his shirt and took a piece of glowing wood from a burning house. He held it against the wound. It hurt badly. The skin melt, and the wound was closed for now.
Destroying the ships was an easy task. They must have been expected that he was dead. The last ship wanted to flee, but Vegeta smashed it on the ground and dragged its driver out. "Nice tactics you use. But I'm not dead, as you can see." The man shivered by fear. "P-p-please don't kill me." "Coward. No I won't, if you do what I say." "What must I do?" You go back, and tell them I challange them. There is a plain, several miles south of here. There are no villages, no woods, only some grass and stuff. I will be there in two days, and you too. Your leaders may send everything they want to destroy me. Than, I'll prove you guys can't beat me." "Y-y-yes sir. As you wish." "Now go away. And tel them it! If they son't come here, I'll come to them!" The man crawled back into his ship and flew away.
"Vegeta! Are you sure this is a good plan?" "Yes, of course I am!" Vegeta moaned when he felt the pain on his back. The wound was open again. "Wait Vegeta, let me take a look at it. Wow, that looks bad. "You don't have to tell me that. It damn hurts." Vegeta grabbed his head. He felt dizzy. "Ehr..Vegeta?" Vegeta fell on the ground. "A docter, fast!"
The doctor worked fast. "Damn, what does this guy do? His lung is penetrated, he has some shortage of air...hand me the oxygen mask please. It is healed now, the skin is a little more difficult. It's also heavily burned. He attempted to close the wound himself. I can do this, but it will take some time to regenrate." "Will he be able to fight in two days?" "Well, maybe. But he must stay in his bed until that time and rest."
Mikki sat down next to his bed, sobbing. "Hey, Mikki, he will be fine. You stay here and keep an eye on him, ok? He must stay here." "Hey, Camen, why did you ask him this noght to follow you?" "What?" "Well,...you came this night and asked him to follow you." "I didn't....Damn...Did they have a fighter looking like me?" The doctor pushed Camen sofly out the door. "He can tell you when he has woken up. Than we can ask him about it. He needs his rest now."
Two hours later Vegeta woke up. Mikki was looking at him, excited he woke up. "Well this does damn look familiar" he moaned. "Vegeta! You're awake! I'm sooo happy! I thought you were gonna dieeee!" "I don't die so quick." Vegeta put the oxygen mask off. Mikki pulled it back. "You must stay here to recover. Your lung has been penetrated and your skin is badly damaged." Vegeta sighed and laid back. "I suppose you are my guard dog?" "I had to watch over you." "I need to train for the challenge." "No, you need to heal." "I'll be fine!" "No, stay here, or...or.." "Or what!" "I'll bite your ankle! Vegeta laughed. "A true guarding dog!"
The doctor heard the voices coming from the room. He entered. "Ah, you're awake. Faster than I thought. Mikki, move aside for a moment." The doctor looked at Vegeta's back. "You recover well. I have a question for you. Mikki said Camen came to you this night, and asked you to follow him. Is that true?" "I thought it was Camen. He was not. It was a transformer." "What? great, a new type of warrior." Mikki shivered. "Is it dangerous?" "Very. While I was busy blocking him, someone else stabbed me in my back. That was stupid of me. I should have known. And they also told me the two moons of this planet were invisible, a sign of an attack." "This planet has moons, but they are not visible now. That's normal. Just stay here, and don't come out. Everything will be fine." "No, I have to train for th..." Vegeta words were cut off by an injection the doctor gave him. He fainted. "If I say rest, I mean rest, not train. Hey Mikki, warn me if he wakes up again." Mikki nodded and smiled.
Ten hours later, Vegeta woke up again. He still felt some faint and cursed softly. "Hi Vegeta!" "Ow, hi Mikki. Still guarding me, I see." "Doct.." Vegeta covered her mouth. "Come on. Can't you help me for one time? I have better things to do than laying down here." The doctor entered the room. "Trying to escape again?" Vegeta sighed deep and laid back. "That's better." "Do you have some food here? I'm starving!" Mikki gigled. "You'll need a lot of stuff to feed him. Learn and fear Saiyan appetite!" "We have some food here. Wait a few minutes, I'll look for something. And don't escape!" Vegeta grumbled something.
Five minutes later he came back with a plate of food and some pills. "Take those pills. We usually only eat those here. The contain everything you need. Vitamins, calcium, and so on." He put the plate on Vegeta's bed and left. Vegeta gave a carrot to Mikki. He devoured the food, within three minutes, everything was gone. Vegeta closed his eyes and tried to get back to sleep, but he couldn't. He hated to lay down here and do nothing. He touched his back. It didn't feel so bad. He got up. Maybe he could sneak out this building. He felt something grabbing his ankle and looked down. Mikki was biting him. "Hey! Stop that!" "No. If you go, I'll call the doctor!" "Mikki! Not now! I have to be in good shape to fight! I have to train!" "No! You must first heal to be in good shape!" The doctor entered the room again and raised one eyebrow. "Please get back to your bed." "Damn you, no!" Vegeta felt dizzy again. He swore under his breath. He sat on his bed. "Yes, that's more like it. Vegeta fainted. The doctor smirked. "Some stuff in food can work quit well. I already knew this would happen." Mikki pushed Vegeta back into bed and pulled the sheets over him. The doctor looked at his wound. "He recovers much faster than a normal person. I'll let him get out after this nap. Let's give him what he wants, the freedom to train."
Vegeta woke up after eight more hours. He still felt a little dizzy. He looked for Mikki. She sat next to his bed. "Are you going to bite my ankle again?" "Nope. You may get out." "Finally. A bed is not the right place for me." Vegeta got dressed and walked outside. It was night already. He shivered; it was cold.
He flew away from the village, he didn't want people walking in his way.
On a mountaintop he started with some warming-up exercises. After a while he turned super saiyan and charged. This felt good. He hadn't done this too long. Going into space had been a good idea. He was looking forward to the fight. He hoped the fighters they would send would be stronger than the space ships. He wanted a challenge.
When the sun rose, he returned. The doctor was already waiting for him outside, and gestured him to come. "Can I check please." "What! I was healed, wasn't I?" "Please, why are you always making such a trouble about it? It will only take two minutes." "And that's all?" "Yes that's all." "Ok."
Camen overheard the conversation and grinned. "Did you have bad experiences with doctors, Vegeta?" "If they force me to stay in bed, yes." The doctor sighed and checked the skin. "I'm happy not every patient is like you." Vegeta grumbled. "There. it is ok." "I wouldn't need a check to tell you that."
Vegeta walked back to his house. Mikki was already waiting for him there. "Hi Vegeta! The hunters have killed a bear, it's laying in the living room. You can prepare it for dinner." Vegeta looked at it. "No preparing dinner today. Too tired." He cut the skin away and ate the flesh, raw.
He trained a little more, and slept. The sun set and Vegeta got up. Camen knocked on the door and came in. "We have received several ship signatures in the atmosphere, several miles south of this place. They are coming." "Good. I'm going." Mikki hugged him. "Please stay alive." Vegeta smirked. "Of course I will. Do you really think these weaklings can kill me?" He flew away.
He saw several people standing at the place. They were mostly large and muscular. Had to be the fighters.
He landed and powered up to super saiyan. "Ok, folks, want to fight me one by one or all at the same time?" The fighters laughed. "Oh my, you can bluff well!" A long lizard grinned. "Well, come here and put me to a test." "It's my pleasure." Before he could attack, someone else grabbed his arm. "Wait, you idiot! Have you checked his power level? It's huge! We'll have to attack all at the same time!" "What? All of us for such a little whi.." Vegeta blasted him. He vaporized. "Next one, please, I don't have all day. Or are you getting chicken?" Several ships flew to the battle field. "Aaaah, we have compagny!" Vegeta shot a few blasts. They didn't harm the ships, but reflected. The warriors attacked at the same time. Vegeta flew up, too fast for the warriors to follow him. Vegeta charged again. "Galac beam!" This beam, much heavier than the previous ones, shattered one ship. He charged again. Before he could shoot, a small warrior appreared right before him and kicked his face. Vegeta was surprised; he didn't feel him coming. He landed. The warrior appeared right behind his back and kicked him again. Vegeta cursed. How could that creature move so fast? He got kicked in his face now. He grabbed the creature. It disappreaed again. But Vegeta undrerstood now how he did it, by seeing the creature. He looked like a frog, with four eyes. Guldo of the ginyuu force was of the same kind. He just had to distract him for a second..but how? With all those ships flying around. He got an idea. He flew up, as fast he could, The air was quite clouded here. He moved in the middle of those clouds, and dropped out the ssj level and lowered his power level as much as he could. Now they couldn't see him anymore. The ships followed, so did the fighters. Vegeta moved around slowly, staying unnoticed. He heard someone screaming. He chuckled. The ships had shot one of their own fighters. He saw a small shape flying right ahead of him. He floated slowly to it. There he was. He couldn't charge for an attack now; that frog would notice him and stop time again. Vegeta grabbed his neck and put his other hand for his mouth. He broke his neck with his bare hands and dropped him.
Next... He flew right before a ship. They saw him and shot. Vegeta deflected it, and the ship got damaged, but not heavily. Vegeta shot another galac beam at it. Everybody could notice his power level now. Vegeta went back to supersaiyan and launched several destructo discs. Three warriors gor cut into pieces, one other ship was destroyed. Vegeta landed. Three more warriors were left, and ten more ships. They all shot at him at the same time. Vegeta didn't move away, and he didn't block. A large explosion... The warriors cheered, but suddenly stopped when the clouds of dust were gone...Vegeta still stood there, unharmed. "Still thinking you can beat me?" He blasted another two warriors away. "You aren't even a challenge! You are the weakest enemies I've ever fought!" The ships turned around and fled. The only warrior left didn't. He looked at Vegeta, not even afraid, even smiling. "So, we are not a challenge, but our bosses will be. You just declared war upon the three lords." "Yeah right. The leaders of the Dijan?" "No. The Dijan are just working for them. They are strong. Really strong." "Don't make me yawn. I already saw what you call *strong*. I can handle those three lords. They sound like a Furiza-type." "Whatever. You should better fear them." Vegeta picked him up and crushed his face. "Nobody beats me. Not even those three lords."
Everybody cheered loud when he returned to the village. Especially Mikki was happy. "It wasn't even difficult. But they were talking about the three lords. Anybody any idea who that could be?" Camen shrugged his shoulders. "Never heard of." "The Djian are working for them. I think I will get them later. The fighters said they were much stronger than theyselves were." "I hope not." "I hope they are. I need some challenge." "Are you crazy?" "No. I'm a saiyan." "So, when will you try to get them?" "If you don't mind, I would like to stay here for a ehile to train. I haven't had good training for quite a while. After that I'll deal with them." "You're welcome to stay here. Very welcome."
