Chapter One: Shadows of Victory
:Setting : A lonely mountain with the sun setting in the distance:
We see a solitary figure standing about halfway up the mountain, upon close inspection the figure becomes more distinct. It is a young man wearing a orange over gi with a black one under it complete with black bands on his wrists and three circles with symbols representing all the masters the man has trained under; one is centered on his back while two smaller ones are over each breast.
"The lies we know, ohh what truth lies in that simple
phrase. My life is a living testimony to it," sighed the young man. "Oh,
sorry you came to hear my story, not my reflections on my life. Of late
I've been somewhat nostalgic, by the way my name is Son, no, no, not HIM,
but Son Gohan, his child," commented the young warrior with a trace of
sadness. "In order to properly tell my story I must start with the tale
of planet Vegeta's demise, I learned this from Vegeta the 26th (very likely
the last Vegeta). I have changed it to make it easier to tell as a story
but I did not add or remove many facts so fret not, now to begin
the tale."
:Setting : The throne room of planet Vegeta where Vegeta the 25th King of all Saiyans is being briefed by his staff:
A loud murmur of gruff voices were heard, discussing various matter with the King of all Saiyans, until "Bam!" the doors of the throne room were thrown open and a Saiyan warrior marched in with a look of urgency on his face. "My King I have returned with disturbing news regarding the mission on which I was sent."
The king gestured with his hand for silence. "General Jerkon, it must be urgent indeed for you to burst in here unannounced. Now pray tell what is this matter?" Said the King in a sarcastic sounding voice.
"The matter is about the mission of the POLAR settlements," said the General, giving the keyword that immediately caught the King's attention.
"Advisors, leave us NOW!!!" barked the King. After the advisors had left the room (looking most distraught) the King turned to Jerkon, "Follow me, this news must not reach any ear save mine for now," whispered the King while motioning with his hand for Jerkon to follow.
"Forgive my ignorance, but why are we leaving the throne room??" asked the General.
"Because some of the ruling houses have spies both electronic and Saiyan in it, that is why my old friend," the King whispered dryly. For a minute or perhaps longer the two powerful warriors walked until they had reached a locked door with a rather unique lock. "Ahh, here we are," commented the King while pulling out a unusual key for the locked door.
"Where exactly is here sir??" asked Jerkon.
"Here happens to be my private study which I regularly
check for spy equipment, does that answer your question?" asked the King
with a slight chuckle.
"Yes sir, it does at that," laughed Jerkon. The
King then unlocked, opened the door, and went inside with Jerkon close
behind. Once inside, the door closed automatically, sealing the two warriors
in the room.
"Now, what of this news you have for me?" asked the King.
"It's as we feared, my king. Frieza is on the move, he's currently in the Nigratas system, no doubt conquering the inhabitable planets. He has been discreet but I have no doubts as to what his final plan is," stated Jerkon.
"So Frieza is seeking to rid himself of his strongest
possible foes, well, he will find that we Saiyan are not without our own
plans," commented the King of all Saiyans.
"Sir what do you mean??" asked the General in charge
of the royal family's safety.
"What I mean, dear friend, is that I have finally learned how the first Super Saiyan came to gain such power," stated the King with hint of a chuckle upon seeing his "Captain of the Guard" (the name is a honorary one, the actual title per say is General in chief of royal family's safety) speechless. "Close your mouth Jerkon you look like a Tjalia fish just caught," laughed the King.
A/N: Okay, this is a small portion of chapter one of The Lies
We Know, now I have a question of you, the reader. Should I make
the rest of the chapter and hence the story in this style or should I add
more detail to it like what people are wearing, how the rooms look, and
what the land looks like?? I can go either way so please vote for option
A (with reasons why) or option B (also with reasons why) in your
reviews.
Ann's Notes: Gohan is narrating!! W00t! Well, I personally can't wait
till Tim gets this whole thing going; from what we got so far, it's really
something you'll look forward to. It'll start out with the background of
how planet Vegeta was destroyed, but know that it's quite important to
the plot since it's what sets the foundation for "The Lies We Know" and
"Predator & Prey". Personally, I like if Tim goes all detailed on it,
but for those that just want nothing but plot might choose otherwise. Happy
voting!
