Tyllen was five years old, and playing outside with Mikki. They were
sparring. Vegeta was training near, so he could keep an eye on Tyllen.
Tyllen had a power level of 20.000 already, and that was quite good, better
than Vegeta had himself when he was a five year old.
Their training was interrupted when a young woman ran to their ship. She seemed to be exhausted, she had run over a long distance, and she was excited.
"There's a ship, two sectors lower south from here! An alien ship! It landed there!" Vegeta, Tyllen and Mikki stopped. Djingdjing popped his head out the ship's door. "A ship?" Vegeta asked. "A ship. It's very large! It was entering the atmosphere already when I left!" Vegeta concentrated. Yes, now she mentioned it, he could feel strange power levels. They were low, but they couldn't be of this planet. "I'll take a look."
He flew away. Tyllen was all exited about it, and flew after him.
"Tyllen! NO! Stay there, the aliens may be hostile and dangerous!" That remark only seemed to encourage him. He had never fought against a real foe, and he hoped he could do it now. Vegeta grabbed his leg. "Go home! NOW!" "But Vegeta…" "No buts!" Tyllen slowly flew back, disappointed. He wanted to go there. He WOULD go there. He landed and started running. He should be there in five minutes, it wasn't far away.
The ship had landed already when Vegeta arrived. The door was still closed. Several people were looking, but on a distance. They were very suspicious. Vegeta landed right before the door.
Tyllen arrived too and hid in a bush.
The door opened….
One small creature stepped out. It was tiny, even a little smaller than Tyllen. The skin was white, it didn't have a nose, and red cheeks. It had a (ceremonial?) hat on its head. Vegeta recognized the race. He had seen it once before. On earth, one like it had lived, among the earthlings. He had never known the name of the race. It was like Chiao-Zu.
"I'm looking for a person called Vegeta! Is he among you?!!" Vegeta was surprised. It was looking for him? "I'm right here, for under nose"… (nose?) "Aaah, I'm very pleased to meet you. I am sprite. I am the leader of the organization called the spectral kingdom, or SK, as many call us. I would like to have a few words with you. Is that possible?" Vegeta was thinking about it. Could he trust her? She wasn't strong, but by now he had learned strength wasn't the only thing. The memories of the special warriors of the three lords were still painful. "On a place of my choice" Vegeta answered. "Ok. Where?" At that moment two others came out the ship. Two warrior looking creatures, looking like fishes, with a human building. "Ma'am, is this a good idea? You alone.." "I can look after myself, Gorian. Stay here and watch the ship." "Yes ma'am." Vegeta was surprised by this. These warriors were taking orders from someone who was much smaller and weaker than they selves were.
Vegeta lead her towards his ship. Mikki and Djingdjing got out so they wouldn't disturb.
"Now, where did you want to talk about?" "As I said before, I am the leader of the SK. You may not know this organization. It is made after Furiza was destroyed. Many people didn't want to be in danger anymore. They didn't want stronger aliens destroying their planets. They wanted peace… This organization is made in the southern part of the galaxy. After the death of the three lords we were able to get in the northern part of the galaxy. Several planets have joined us already." "So you want this planet to join your organization too? Than you mustn't discuss it with me." "Oh, we already discussed THAT with the government of this planet. This is about something else. Of course, we must protect our planets, otherwise nobody will take us seriously. There are a few already who are helping us, but we are looking for more help. I want to ask you if you want to help us. If I'm right, you helped the Nameks, several years ago, destroyed the three lords, and destroyed the new empire, a few years after that." Vegeta sighed. That last thing was still painful to him. "I will consider it." Sprite smiled. "If you need more information, feel free to talk to Gorian. He is one of the first soldiers of the organization." She left the ship and flew back to her own.
Vegeta sat down on a chair and was thinking. When Tyllen got back to the ship he discovered the door was closed. It meant Vegeta didn't want to be disturbed. Tyllen was getting more curious. He wanted to know what was going on. He tried to force the door open, but a loud yell of Vegeta made him stop. Tyllen considered to cry, Vegeta hated that and sometimes he got what he wanted, but this time, he didn't.
Vegeta did what Sprite had mentioned; he talked to Gorian.
Gorian was sitting outside the ship, in the grass, enjoying the sight of the setting sun. He smiled faintly when he saw Vegeta. "Hello. What makes you come here?" "I have a few questions I would like to ask." "Sit down, and ask. I'll be happy to answer them." Vegeta stared at Gorian for a while first. His eyes, looking a bit sad, his faint smile, making him look like sad AND happy at once. Vegeta sat down. He knew Gorian could be trusted now.
"Why did you join this organization?"
"A villain destroyed my home planet. It was not Furiza, just some warrior looking for fun… I was a kid at that time. I hope no more people will have to go through this."
Home planet destroyed…That sounded familiar to Vegeta. The sudden pain of loss, still after all those years.
"I know you went through thee same, Vegeta. We have very large files about everything that happened in the last three hundred years. You occur in it a few times."
Vegeta only sighed. Why did they want him? Yes, he had done some good things the last years, but before that…
Gorian noticed Vegeta's hesitation. "We know about the destruction. But after the good things you have done Sprite is willing to give it a try. And we visited the planet Namek and talked a lot there. The elder is very wise… He told us how you changed, and recommended us to go to you." "What? He is responsible?" "He is." "But… I have a lot of responsibilities here..(responsibilities? Vegeta had no idea what he was saying…still it was even true!)" "Your kid you mean?" "He isn't mine…my half brother." "Aaah, I see…ehm, how? I thought you planet.." "Don't ask." "Right." "But I can understand the point about your…half brother. But you can still take care of him. Many soldiers have families. You can stay on your own planet, but sometimes you can be called, mostly for ceremonial purposes. But sometimes there are some fights too. But, the fights we have had until now, are far below your level. It won't be hard." "But what am I supposed to do with my brother in the mean time?" "There are families who can take care of him than. Missions mostly don't take more than a week. When there's a ceremony, you can keep him with you." "Ah…By the way, I notice sprite has a low power level. Is she hiding it?" "No. She is no fighter. Surprised?" "Well…yes." Gorian laughed. "A fighter of good, but still thinking in the saiyan ways. I think it's better to have a wise person as a leader than a fighter, huh? I mean, a leader has to know what to do. For a defense and an offense there are soldiers." "Mm. Whatever. I hope she is as wise as you say." Vegeta was thinking about his father. Strong? Definitely. Wise? Not really. He had made a lot of mistakes in his life. He attacked Furiza instead of doing something else. He should have known Furiza was stronger. And than, after all those years… Vegeta got up. "I know enough. Thanks for the info. I gotta go."
Vegeta walked back his ship. It was getting late. Tyllen was lying on a chair, sleeping. Vegeta picked him up and laid him in his bed. Tyllen had his tail in his hands, he still played with it, when he got bored, just like when he was a baby.
After having put Tyllen in bed Vegeta looked in the kitchen for some food. Mikki and Djingdjing had prepared some meat. He devoured it, took a shower and went to sleep too.
Vegeta got up first. The rest was still sleeping. He ate some breakfast, but unlike normal, he wasn't very hungry. While the sun came up, he flew to Sprite's ship and knocked on the door. A camera checked him, and the door opened. There was a long corridor with a few doors. Vegeta looked around. Which one? Gorian ran to him. "Hello. Where are you heading for?" "For Sprite." "Last door, at the end of the corridor."
Vegeta entered the room. It was small, not quite what he had expected. There were two chairs, and some other stuff to make it comfortable. Sprite was sitting in one of those chairs. "Hello Vegeta. Come in and make yourself comfortable." Vegeta sat down. "What did you want to tell me?" "I accept your offer." Sprite smiled. "That's great. As you maybe already know, you can just stay on your planet, resume your normal living, until you are called for a battle or a ceremony. There are rewards too of course, mostly we let the fighters choose what kind, a ship, gold, other resources, fuel…" Vegeta just nodded. "I'm glad you said yes. Sometimes I'm afraid for power full beings who want to destroy us. It wouldn't be the first time to happen, huh?" Vegeta nodded again. "There will be a ceremony in two weeks. I'll send you the coordinates later. Gorian will explain what exactly has to happen. Don't worry, it won't be difficult. You can take your friends and kid also with you." "I will." "Good."
Vegeta sighed deep when he was outside the ship. He hoped he had made a good choice.
