Chapter Fourteen - New Visitors

There was time when the galaxy was divided into three sectors, each under the rule of a single individual. Sector Two, which had been the home of planet Vegeta, Namek and of Earth, had fallen under Frieza's jurisdiction. Sector One had been in the control of King Cold, Frieza's father. The third sector had belonged to Cooler, brother of Frieza.

The order of the galaxy remained this way for over a hundred years, until one fateful day Frieza set in motion his own downfall. A Sai-jin uprising on Vegeta sparked dissent throughout the ranks. In the end Frieza stopped the revolution and destroyed planet Vegeta, sealing his fate. Though he believed only three Sai-jins survived, Vegeta, Napa, and Raditz, one on the planet escaped his wrath. This single Sai-jin also survived an encounter with Cooler during his escape. Frieza's brother watched the pod speed from the dead planet content to let Frieza deal with his own problems.

This Sai-jin, known to the rest of his people as Kakkarotto, was on his way to Earth. Unknown to the youngster, Frieza, or Cooler, he was not the only one to survive. In the years before King Vegeta launched his attack against Frieza he sent the weakest of his people into space to a secret planet so that, should his mission fail, the Sai-jin race would live on. This planet became known as New Vegeta.

New Vegeta had already been inhabited by a race much like the Sai-jins in appearance and rather strong as well. These people were primitive but learned quickly from the Sai-jins and with in months the two were united under one king. After only a years time relations between the two races had already produced a number of hybrid children known as Neo Sai-jins.

It is from here that the surviving Sai-jin race watched years later the events on Namek. Frieza had seemingly fallen and these Sai-jins were filled with a new hope of defeating the Cold Empire. Months later they witnessed a battle on Earth that stunned them all. A new Super Sai-jin defeated not only Frieza but Cold as well, the two strongest of the tyrants. Cooler was perceived as the weakest and all ways had been.

New Vegeta launched an assault on Cooler's capital world but was repelled and forced to retreat. They watched in disbelief as Cooler transformed to his fourth transformed state in a display of his power. Days later the populace of New Vegeta was witness to Cooler's arrival at New Namek where he revived Cold and Frieza and then was fused with them by the Eternal Dragon Parunga and the newly created being, Glacier, made New Namek his new Capital world.

Since that time New Vegeta has been the staging ground of the resistance. The Sai-jins, all of third class blood, idolized Goku and his father Bardock who began the revolution. They were warriors of the third class who stood up to the challenges that faced them, and like true Sai-jins, forced themselves to overcome them. As the resistance war dragged onward many more Sai-jins died and it became evident to all that the ice hearts the Sai-jin race had possessed for millennia were melting.

The blood thirsty killer race had seen more blood shed than it cared for and was begging to change, and with this change came a new need, a new will, and a new power. At last they understood the source Goku's power. A warrior who is willing to die in battle can fight bravely and powerfully but is no match for a warrior who is fighting for more than himself, a warrior who has something more than his life to lose should he fail.

New Vegeta became home to some of the most powerful beings in the universe almost overnight. These Sai-jins make the Sai-jins of Old Vegeta look like amateurs. And still the war rages on, but now it's on the move. The frontline is getting closer and closer to New Vegeta and they fear they can't win alone. And so they've sent a few of their finest warriors on a recruitment mission, as ambassadors of New Vegeta.

However, they have been followed, and their pursuers are about to arrive.
