Saiyan Bond

Chapter Three - Reunion

SVS: This Chapter was carefully thought of. I decided to finally bring Nappa into it. I'm thinking that because he was an Adult in the Bardock Movie, that he should be one in this story. Hope you like this Chapter! Oh...and I noticed I did something wrong. Frieza had killed King Vegeta AND Bardock AFTER Vegeta had started working for him, but it's only a minor mistake. I'll make it a AU Fic! LOL!

" What are you doing up this late, Vegeta? " King Vegeta questioned, his deep demanding voice booming throughout the room.

Young Prince Vegeta stuck his thumb shyly in his mouth. " I had a bad dream, Father... "

" here... " King Vegeta chuckled, spreading out his arms so his Son could jump on to his lap.

Vegeta hopped up, looking up at his Father with wide eyes. He looked almost content, but his outer shell never did reveal what was truely inside. The boy was stubborn, and it was hard to tell what was really feeling. " Can you tell me a Story, Father? "

The King bit his lip, scratching his rugged chin. He rested an arm on his Son's back, rocking him back and forth slightly. " Of course, My Son... "

Vegeta snuggled his nose into his Father's chest. He closed his eyes, listening intently to his Father's words.

" Once upon a time... " The King began, " There was a brave little Prince who lived on a nice little Planet like this one! "

Vegeta smiled, trying to picture the story in his mind.

King Vegeta continued. " He had many Loyal Servants and a loving Father. One day the little Prince's Father came to him with a dilema. The Prince had had a terrible Nightmare, and wanted to hear a Story. So his Father told him the story of a little Prince who - "

Young Vegeta started to laugh, amused. " Father! That was a good one! "

" Wait! Wait! " The King spoke. " I didn't finish the story yet! "

Vegeta blinked, listening closely.

" Once he was finished telling the story, the Prince went to bed and got his rest. The End! "

The Prince lowered his head and heaved a sigh, hoping down from his Father's lap. " Yes, Father... "

Watching his Son sulk away, the King smiled. He was proud of the boy he was raising, he saw a bright future for him. The thing is, he didn't see himself in it.

Young Vegeta gasped, sitting up quickly as sweat dripped down his face. Those days with his Father always haunted his mind, reminding him that there no longer were any more days with his Father.

" You alright Prince? You're shaking like a leaf! "

Vegeta looked over, Raditz coming into view next to him. He'd almost forgotten where they were. The events of yesterday had been mostly just a blur. He barely even remembered getting thrown in this cell.

Raditz looked the boy over, giving him a tight hug. " It's ok, Vegeta...you were only dreaming... "

The Prince dug his tiny pointed nose into his friends shoulder, letting the tears slip out from behind his dark eyes. Everyday he'd suffered from this, he was only a small boy and was now without a Father. It just wasn't fair. " I'm scared, Radi... "

" Shhh...everything will be ok. We'll get through this... " Raditz replied, rubbing the child's back. " He'll pay for what he's done... "

The two boy's were left in sudden shock as the door began to creak open, light flooding the room and causing them to squint.

Believing it to be one of Frieza's Minions, Raditz readied his fists and pushed Prince Vegeta behind him to keep him safe. The young Prince was a fighter, but Raditz didn't want to take any chances. He wasn't sure what Vegeta was capable of.

Two large feet stepped out from behind the door, making a loud tapping sound as they hit the floor. His hair was dark and bushy, and his body was large and muscular. He was a giant in their eyes.

Vegeta, squinting his eyes in curiousity, thought he recognized this man. Yet, it wasn't bright enough to tell. But when two guards came in behind the man, they caused the door to widen and more light flashed toward's the strangers face. The Prince beamed, a wide smile forming on his face. " Nappa!! "

The large man smiled back, spreading out his arms as the child ran into them for a hug. It seemed it had been forever since they'd seen one another on Planet Vegeta-Sei.

Confused, Raditz walked up towards the stranger. " Who are you? What do you want? "

" I'm Prince Vegeta's Guardian...and you are? " He released Vegeta, crossing his strong muscular arms.

Hesitating, Raditz formed a reply. " My names, Raditz. My Father was a Low-Level Soldier. His name was Bardock, he met his end not too long ago... "

Nappa lowered his head. " I knew Bardock, he was an aquaintance. Bardock was an incredible man, you should be proud... "

Raditz smiled, wiping away forming tears with his wrist. He was glad someone agreed with him. It seemed that everyone he'd met before his death thought his Father was insane. They'd ramble on and on about how incredibly stupid he was for taking on the mission's he'd done. He would always come back from a Battle half-dead.

" So... " Vegeta spoke, breaking Raditz away from his thoughts. " Why are you here, Nappa? "

The Large Saiyan sighed, gazing sympathetically at the young Prince. " After Planet Vegeta-Sei was destroyed, I was brought here to work for Frieza. I've been here ever since, and I've been hating it more and more everyday. He's a Monster, Vegeta... "

Vegeta checked to see if the Guards were listening, but they were too busy playing a game of Poker to realize what Nappa had said. That made them the luckiest Saiyans in the world, and the only Saiyan's left in the world.

Nappa continued, turning his back on the younger Saiyan's. " Come, I'll lead you to your Quarters... "

The Guards gathered their Cards, standing up and leading the way from in front of Nappa. Vegeta and Raditz followed from behind, Raditz trying to keep Vegeta close and out of harms way.

They ventured slowly down the dark and quiet Hallway, only a few lights were shining so you could see exactly where you were going.

The group halted in front of a giant crimson colored door, the First Guard swiping a card key in the slot. The door slid open, revealing a small bedroom with Two Beds. It wasn't luxurious like his Room on Frieza Planet Number 52, but as Vegeta walked in...he realized it was alot more comfortable then that Cell.

The Guards closed the door behind the Three Saiyan's, allowing them to be alone.

" Their gone! " Vegeta rejoiced, heaving a sigh. " Now let's get the heck outta here! "

" No, Vegeta! " Nappa hissed.

The Young Prince slouched as he sat on one of the Crimson Bed's. " Why not? "

" There's Security Camera's surrounding this room! "

Vegeta stared around at the corner's of the cieling. Nappa was right, they were placed in the same position as they were in that Cell. " Were trapped... "

Raditz snarled, sitting on the opposite bed in exhaustion. He sprawled out, taking a deep inhale of oxygen. He closed his eyes, reopening them as he realized how sweaty he felt. " Is there a Shower here? "

Nappa nodded, pointing towards a small Bathroom near the left corner of the room. He watched Raditz yawn and stretch his arms, heading in that direction. Once the teenage Saiyan closed the door behind him, Nappa sat down next to the sulking Vegeta.

The Prince looked up at his Guardian, his large eyes full of small tears. " How could Papa leave me for this? "

" He didn't want this to be your Future... " Nappa replied, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a large medallion shaped necklace, throwing it around Vegeta's neck.

The Young Prince studied it after it was placed on, recognizing it as the crest of the Vegeta-Sei. It was the same thing his Father wore everday. " Where did you get this? "

" Frieza was about to destroy it, but I snuck after he left and payed the Minion some Gold. He gave it to me and told Frieza the job had been done, I owe him one... "

Vegeta giggled, running his fingers around the crest.

" Now you'll have your Father with you wherever you go... " Nappa finished, placing a hand on the boy's small shoulder. He stood up, starting to walk away. " My Room's Next Door...I'll be there if you need me... "

The Young Prince waved Good-bye to his Guardian, watching as he dissapeared behind the sliding door. He felt alot better now, despite where he was. He was in enemy territory now, so he'd have to carefully watch his back. There could be a trap in any corner.

Laying back on his new Bed, Vegeta closed his eyes. He managed to relax to the sound of water running from the Bathroom.
