Coven of the Vampire Saiyans
Chapter 1: Stubborn Princes
Queen Rosicheena had given birth to a powerful prince ten years before. She had survived the birth only to be killed by her mate in her sleep just after her son reached the age that he could begin his training. The young Prince Vegeta wandered around the palace grounds when he wasn't training. There was one place he wasn't allowed to go, the forest. His tutors told him horrible tales of mutated immortals that lived in that forest. Prince Vegeta, of course, refused to believe anything until he saw it for himself. Just as he hadn't believed that his mother was dead until he felt her blood on his hands. The stubborn prince also defied his father in every way possible after he learned of his mother's death. It was because of this defiance that the ten-year-old boy ended up in the forest behind the palace one night and in more trouble than he could ever imagine.
Vegeta's footsteps were barely audible as he slowly walked through the constantly dark wood. The trees themselves seemed to emanate darkness.
"You should not be here my little prince," a voice whispered from the shadows.
Vegeta spun around in search of the owner of the voice, "Who are you, coward?"
"Coward?" the voice called softly, now distinctly feminine. "You think I fear you? What ever gave you that idea?"
The prince growled at the bodiless voice, "Only a coward would hide in the shadows."
A soft chuckle echoed through the trees, "But you have ventured into my world little prince. In this world cowards hide in the light."
"You're one of them, aren't you? A vampire? Show yourself mutant." He stared searchingly into the dark. There was a spark of light off to the side, and the site he found was shocking. If the boy had been a few years older the person before him could have brought him to his knees.
A small, fair skinned woman with piercing blue eyes and long, aqua tresses stepped from the shadows; she appeared to be in her early twenties possibly slightly younger. Her voice was filled with a maturity of someone much older, but there was a teasing sound to it. The girl sounded like she knew the secrets of the universe and she wasn't going to tell you. She wore a beautiful, yet simple, white dress, and if Vegeta didn't know better he would have pegged her as an angel. "So, your father told you about us, did he? You know about our immortality and how we began? I suppose that's why you came, isn't it? You want to be immortal, but that would be the worst thing for you my little prince. You're lucky I found you before the queen did."
"Immortality? You can grant me immortality, woman? Is this true?" Vegeta had gained a little more interest at the mention of possible immortality.
"You need to get out of here little prince. Today is not the day for this decision. Go back to the palace before the queen senses your presence. Go now!" The young woman hurried the prince away from the dark interior of the wood.
"When shall I come back?" he asked hurriedly as the two rushed for the edge of the forest.
The blue-haired woman grabbed Vegeta's arm with surprising strength for someone as frail as she and looked deeply into his onyx eyes, "Do not return until you have reached your destiny, and not before then, or the queen will have her way with you. Train; train until you can't train anymore. Fight with your heart, not your pride."
"Why do you tell me these pointless things? Why can't I have immortality now?" the prince demanded.
"You must wait until you are older. Only then will you grasp the ways of my people, and only then will I consider making you one of us." She threw the young boy out with a powerful shove and was gone before he could turn to ask her for a name.
Vegeta climbed to his feet and walked slowly back to the palace while wondering out loud about the strange woman in the forest. "What did she mean the queen will have her way with me? Blasted woman… Older my ass, she was just afraid of my power… I'll show her. I'll become a Super Saiyan, and then I will force her to grant me immortality." The prince returned to his training grounds and trained until he was close to collapsing from exhaustion.
He continued this every day for six months; he was then turned over to the evil tyrant Freiza. His father told him it was necessary to cater to the pink lizards demands for the sake of the planet Vegeta-sei. Though Prince Vegeta was only ten years old he knew his father's real reason for turning him over to the feminine creature; the old man was terrified.
King Vejita watched his son beat himself into a pulp day after day and he knew that the boy grew more powerful with every trip to the regen tanks. The prince would soon be stronger than his father and the king would lose his throne to his son soon because of the Saiyan people's high regard of power. Everyone knew this, but they said nothing. It was a wise move on the king's part, but no one was sure if the young prince would live through the encounter with Freiza.
"This is absolutely pointless Father. Freiza wouldn't dare destroy Vegeta-sei. He needs the Saiyans. Who would do his dirty work if we were gone?" Prince Vegeta asked maliciously.
"Now, now, now, My Little Prince," a feminine voice called from the back of the throne room, "you really don't believe that, do you? I hold all of my monkeys in the highest respect; you know that. It hurts me that you don't want to go along with me; please say you will….."
The prince gave his father an evil glare that would haunt the dreams of thousands in the future and, "Yes, Freiza, I will go with you." The short lizard pursed his lips and raised his tail up behind him. Vegeta felt a sharp sting at the side of his face, and his head snapped to the side. His small fingers reached up and touched the offended cheek; when he brought them in front of his face crimson blood covered the tips.
"Just a small reminder My Little Princling," Freiza whispered softly in the small boy's ear. "I am and always will be superior to you monkeys. You will address me as Lord Freiza, is that clear?"
Vegeta clenched his jaw shut to hold any curses back and gave a curt nod in agreement.
"I can't hear you Princling….." the tyrant cooed.
"Yes."
"Yes, who?"
"Yes, Lord Freiza," the young prince forced out. His pride was against him this day, and it might just cost him his life.
"Good, follow me Young One."
Vegeta sent his father one last evil glare before following Freiza out to his ship.
~*::~*::~*::~*::*~::*~::*~::*~
In the wood behind the palace a small aqua haired woman watched the sky as the ship disappeared through the atmosphere, "Good bye little prince. Perhaps I should have rethought what I said. The queen is far safer than that bastard."
~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~
Twelve Years LaterThis was the last straw. This bastard could only push the Saiyan Prince so far. He had beaten him, dishonored him, and degraded him in front of his fellow warriors, but this he could not do. "Get away from me you sick, sadistic bastard!" Vegeta yelled as he backed away slowly from the pink lizard.
"My Little Princling, why do you run from me? You are a beautiful creature; you should desire to be mine," Freiza cooed. "Come here, My Little Vegeta, swear your allegiance to me, and then it won't be so bad for you. That's all you have to do. You don't have to make this so hard for yourself."
"NEVER!" the Saiyan Prince spat. "YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MY ALLEGIANCE, OR ME! THE SAIYAN PRINCE CANNOT BE OWNED! YOU'RE PERVERTED, HOMOSEXUAL ASS DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ME!" His onyx eyes flashed with anger, and something else. There was a tint of blue in them. His hair seemed to be changing color as well. It flashed a golden color before returning to its regular black. It did this repeatedly until his hair was a crackling gold and his eyes were an icy blue color. The Saiyan Prince glowered at the hideous lizard before him and said calmly, "I'll see you in Hell you bastard."
Freiza's eyes went wide and he attempted to fight back, but he didn't get the chance. Vegeta's Final Flash hit him before the pink lizard could even make a move.
Vegeta stood and watched the ashes of his old master whirled about the room before burning up in his ki. The Saiyan prince held his fist out in front of him and observed the crackling gold aura around him. "I did it….." he muttered. "I finally did it….." He threw his head back and laughed, truly laughed, for the first time since Freiza had taken him from his home planet. "Do you hear me father? I did it!"
Freiza's men appeared in the doorway to find the Saiyan Prince roaring with laughter and glowing with a spectacular golden aura. Vegeta killed them all one by one, and headed for the docking bay of the ship. It was time for him to go home.
~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~
On Vegeta-seiVegeta's pod had arrived back at the palace only a few moments before the king was notified of his presence. Needless to say the king wasn't exactly happy about his son becoming the Legendary, but he hid it from all the others in the palace. His son had to be taken care of, and quickly. King Vejita had a new heir on the way that no one, minus himself and the mother of the child, knew even existed. Little did he know that the prince was about to clear the way for Vejita and his new heir.
~*::~*::~*::~*::::*~::*~::*~::*~
Prince Vegeta walked through the back garden of the palace; it had been his mother's and it was the only trace of her left on the palace grounds. His father had all of the queen's things destroyed after her death, and Vegeta hadn't even been strong enough to stop him. That was one of the memories of his past that stuck out vividly in his mind, and there were only a few others. Most of his past Vegeta had forced himself to forget, but there was one memory that stood out vividly in the prince's mind. One evening, roughly twelve years before this night, Prince Vegeta had gone wandering in the woods behind the palace. As the prince sat on a stone bench thinking about that night the sound of a voice filled the air. It wasn't loud by any means, but it was the most beautiful thing Vegeta had ever heard. A female voice singing softly floated through the air and swirled around him. It was a tune the prince recognized from long ago, a song his mother had sang to him every night before he went to sleep. He searched the area for the owner of the voice and his eyes landed on a beautiful young woman walking slowly through his mother's garden looking at the flowers and singing. Her face was familiar to him, and he started in recognition.
It was she, the woman from the forest long ago. It didn't make sense though; her appearance had changed at all. Her face was exactly the way he remembered it: beautiful and flawless. She had aged or changed at all. The only thing that was different was now she was wearing a different white dress.
Vegeta was so caught up in trying to figure this woman out that he failed to notice that she was headed right towards him.
"I see you have returned my little prince," she said so quietly it was almost inaudible, but it was just loud enough to catch the prince's attention.
Vegeta didn't say a word he just watched the enchanting woman approach him.
"Well," the woman murmured, "I guess you're not that little anymore….. I think perhaps now you are ready to make your decision?"
"I made my decision long ago Woman. You know my answer….." Vegeta growled, though it didn't come out as menacing as he hoped it would.
"No, the little prince made the decision. I want the answer from the Legendary Super Saiyan. You've been alone in your lifetime; you know how painful it can be. Are you ready to be alone for all eternity?"
"Alone? The legends say that there is entire coven that lives in that woods," the prince challenged foolishly.
"There is the coven, and the others, but you would still be alone."
"I need no one….." Vegeta growled.
"If you've made your decision there is nothing I can say to change your mind," the woman said softly. "Come on," she murmured softly and faster than Vegeta could follow she was at the edge of the woods waiting for him to catch up.
"Where are we going?" Vegeta asked as he trotted along behind her trying to keep up with her fast pace.
"You want to be a vampire don't you? We're going to make you a vampire," the woman replied with a hint of annoyance. She disappeared into the shadows without a sound leaving Vegeta standing in the dark forest completely alone.
"Woman?" the prince called after the fair skinned beauty. Thinking to himself that she was more of a demon than a woman he called to her again, "Vampire?" When that got no answer he tried for the last time, "Demon creature?"
An evil yet light tinkling of laughter sounded from the darkness. "So," the woman's voice sounded from the darkness, "you think I am a demon? My young prince, you've never met a real demon. Compared to the coldness and the cruelty of some of my kind Freiza will seem a saint." The vampire stepped out of the shadows and beckoned him closer.
"You know about Freiza? How?"
"We live in the woods prince, that doesn't mean we never leave. Only the queen is bound to the forest. Come on."
"Where are we going?" he asked as the dodged through the trees.
"To find my brother," she replied without slowing down.
"So the vampires got your brother too?"
The vampire woman chuckled, "Yeah, something like that….." The two came upon a small clearing where a small, dimly lit cottage stood silently in the darkness. "This is where you'll stay for right now. I'll be back for you before sunrise."
"Is this your brother's house?" Vegeta asked.
"No, but the vampire that lives here is going to educate you about our people."
"But I thought you-"
"No….. I haven't the time. Come on….." the aqua-haired vampire led the Saiyan prince to the door of the small wooden hut and knocked sharply once before pushing the door open and stepping inside.
Sitting at a small wooden table at the center of what appeared to be a kitchen was a tall, spiky-haired male, a severe looking female, and a small infant boy. Not one looked the least bit shocked at the sudden appearance of the blue-eyed vampire until Vegeta stepped inside. The dark haired man at the table stood from his seat and gave the guests a confused look, "Bulma-san?"
"Goku, ChiChi, calan meis. Salas ni had Vegeta," the aqua-haired woman said in a strange language as she indicated to the confused Vegeta.
"Ka," the raven-haired woman at the table said furiously, "ish nar sei na. Fanar heis suunaiya?"
To the Saiyan prince it sounded like gibberish, but he figured it was some type of language used by the vampires. Vegeta listened intently hoping to find some understanding of what they were saying.
"Isham gan shiialana as vampire," the woman the spiky haired man had called Bulma shot back. "Heis shalan ha, ne?"
"Ka," the tall man replied.
Vegeta still had no idea what they were talking about, but the woman he came with was preparing to leave.
"Tal yi Goku," Bulma said before slipping out into the night.
"Prince Vegeta," the man named Goku said with a smile, "it's wonderful to finally meet the Legendary. I'd like you to meet my family: this is my mate ChiChi and my son Gohan. And my name's Goku."
Vegeta noticed the elongated canine teeth in the man's mouth when he smiled, the unusually white skin of the woman, and the bottle full of a thick, red substance that the infant was drinking. "Who made your brat a vampire? Who would make a vampire out of such a young child?" the prince asked.
Goku chuckled at the question, much like Bulma had at the question about her brother. "You've got a lot to learn before you will be accepted in our world Vegeta….."
