Chapter 3.
Space.
Ragdan knocked on Falco's doors. He knew the leader of the base was in there, but the door could only be opened from the inside by anyone, and only by Falco himself on the outside. When the door slid open, Ragdan entered. He walked over to Falco and wondered why Falco had ordered him to come.
"We have a problem," the leader stated.
"What is it?" Ragdan asked, a bit annoyed by Falco's habit not to tell anything until it was directly asked.
"Our little scumbag isn't breaking down yet," Falco said, "I want him to cry for mercy by the end of the week. I'm sure we can make that happen. Make his torture longer every day and make it more painfull. Make him angry, so his powerlevel rises and the Scalp will give him another painshot to humiliate him even more."
"It will be done," Ragdan said, he would let Borun do it. Borun was very good at torturing someone. He could usually break someone in just one session and still keep them alive. Ragdan turned on his heels and was about to leave when the leader's words stopped him.
"Ragdan, he will suffer as much as me, but then ten times more," the leader said angrily, "I WILL keep my oath!"
"I've never doubted that and I never will," Ragdan said.
Falco grinned. Ragdan didn't know his full oath. His full oath did not only mention Vegeta's death, it also mentioned the taking over of the universe. The universe would be split into pieces to be rained by Falco's loyal commanders. Ragdan had been out cold when Falco had made it. Borun hadn't even been there.
Falco remembered well.
(FLASHBACK) Falco looked out of the window of the spaceship. He looked at the debris of Namek. Pieces of his father floated between it. Soldiers were gathering those. Clenching his hands to fists Falco turned around. His grandfather, King Cold, and his two bodyguards, Ragdan and Borun, were standing there. Ragdan was a few years younger then Falco himself. Borun was a few years older. Ragdan was a youngster, but incredibly strong, even for changeling standards. Borun on the other hand, wasn't that strong, but was very good at tactics. Freeza had picked them personally. When the soldiers had gathered the pieces of his father, Falco and King Cold went to the medical room to supervise the surgery.
Ragdan and Borun looked at Falco. When Falco shook his head, they stayed at their place. After Falco had left they both relaxed at sat down to play a game of chess. Borun won offcourse. After hours, Falco returned to his room. Both guards jumped up.
"Stay at ease," Falco said, walking directly to his bedroom. Locking the room, he left the guards there alone, wondering why their boss was so emotional. They knew of the close bond father and son had, but normally they would only be close in private, when they had send everyone away. Borun and Ragdan would hear them laughing then, since they would stand right outside the door.
A few days passed. Freeza had gone off to Earth with King Cold to kill the saiyanwarriors. Message soon got back to the base, telling Falco some purplehaird saiyan had destroyed his father and grandfather. Falco had send Borun to his homeplanet to inform his mother. Just as the message began to settle in Falco's mind a loud crash was heard. Before him stood a purplehaired boy, clearly saiyan.
"Who are YOU?!" Falco said.
"I'm the son of Vegeta. I'm here to stop you before you're able to hurt my father," the purplehaired boy said. "I'm from the future. In my timeline you have killed my father. I will not allow that to happen in this timeline also."
With that he charged at Falco, but was stopped by Ragdan. Ragdan smacked the purplehair down with ease. The purplehair stood up quickly and launched himself at Ragdan while powering up. His hair turned yellow and he got a strange glow around him. Falco realized this had to be what Freeza had described as super saiyan. Ragdan was smashed through the wall. Then the purplehaired youth turned to Falco and shot five small rings of ki, nailing Falco to the wall. The youth powered up a ki attack and shot the beam towards Falco. Falco brased himself and closed his eyes.
The blast never hit him. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ragdan before him, arms spread. He had taken the blast for Falco. Falco looked at the purplehaired youth. The youth was panting and looked angry. Ragdan fell on his knees. Blood flowed off his body onto the floor. Angered beyond rage Falco freed himself of the ki-rings. He kneeled down beside Ragdan and carefully helped the warrior lay down.
"I'm. sorry. I'm not. able. to fight. for you. Sir," Ragdan managed.
"You've done great, my friend," Falco ensured him.
Ragdan was about to say something, but then lost consciousness. His head fell limply in Falco's arms. Falco layed him down and turned to the youth, his powerlevel rising rapidly. He launched at the youth and smashed him down. The youth got up and a tireing battle began. Both fighters blocked and attacked. Finally, after some hours, they landed a few yards from each other. Falco decided to finish the youth of. He felt Ragdan's ki fading slowly. After what the young guard had done for him Falco knew he could trust him and he just had to keep him alive. He couldn't afford to lose a true friend. He powered up his most powerful ki-attack and shot that at the purplehaired youth. The youth never knew that the changelings had two powersources, one for fightning physically and one for ki-attacks. Since Falco hadn't used any ki-attack yet, he could make this one really strong. The youth never knew what hit him.
Seeing some ashes fall down from where the youth had been, Falco quickly went over to Ragdan. The young guard was hardly breathing. Carefully not to cause any more pain then the changeling was already experiencing Falco picked Ragdan up. He walked into the hallways, seeing corpses lay around everywhere. The youth had obviously known what he was doing. Falco thanked his father in his thoughts for teaching him how the work the regeneration tanks. Once he had placed Ragdan inside one and hooked him up to the breathing device he turned the machine on. The liquid filled the tank and soon Ragdan was floating in the liquid made of saiyan DNA.
Enraged by thinking of those stupid monkeys Falco made his oath: "I SWEAR I will take down Vegeta, I will kill him as slowly and painfully as I can then I will take over the universe and put it under the command my loyal troops. I will hunt everyone with saiyanblood, even if they have only one string of saiyan DNA. I will avenge my father and my grandfather. I will make sure the universe will know the name Falco and shiver at it with fear."
(END FLASHBACK)
Falco turned to watch Ragdan leave. Ragdan had been his friend ever since that moment. Borun wasn't really his friend, although Falco had to trust him. He needed two second in commands. One to look after the base and one to stay with him every time he went off. Ragdan usually was the one he would keep at his side, but in order not to make Borun jalous he kept that one with him every once in a while also. For some reason, Falco had the feeling Borun would betray him somewhere in the future. He would keep a close eye on him.
