By now, he'd already managed to gather 2 dragonballs with this radar he'd stolen.
"This is great!" He thought aloud as he clutched them in his hands. "At this rate I'll have my wish granted in no time flat!"
He then looked at the radar to find out where the next dragon ball would be located at.
"Lemme see..." He searched the nearby area with his scouter for anything orange. "Should be right around..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the radar flashed red and then the screen went black.
"What!" He shook it to see if it would switch back on. "Out of power! Can't these humans make something worthwhile?"
He grumbled and put it in his belt. "Guess I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way..." He switched off his scouter and looked manually.
It shouldn't have been too hard for him to spot, after all the canyon where he was relatively dark. A shining dragonball shouldn't be too hidden.
After a few minutes of flying around the canyon walls, he spotted a glittering object in the cliff face across from him.
"Ah, that's gotta be it!" He thought to himself as he crossed the crevasse to get it.
Sure enough, it was a dragonball. He grinned to himself in delight.
He reached out to grab it. "Three down, four t--"
Before he could finish speaking he sensed something was wrong and turned his head to see a yellow ki stream headed right for him.
"Whoa!" He shouted kicking off the mountain side, just narrowly avoiding it's path.
It crashed harmlessly into the canyon ground below him. "That coulda been me down there..."
He turned around in rage to see what had done that, only to see another heading at him again.
He was just able to avoid it, but this one nicked his armor and knocked him off balance. "Oh for crying out loud! Who's doing that?"
"You're going to wish you won't get an answer to that." A voice replied indistinctly. It was concealed by the glare of the sunlight.
He surveyed the mountainside as best as his eyes could, but saw no sign of anything or anyone.
"Why don't you show your face, you coward!" He shouted spinning around, trying to find this mystery attacker.
"If you insist..." The voice replied.
Just then a figure stepped out onto the cliff right in front of him. His arms were folded and his face solemn.
"Who are you?" The Saiyan replied switching on his scouter.
"I should be asking you the same thing, punk..." The voice growled at him. "But if you want to know, my name is Vegeta."
Vegeta stood surveying the apparently young Saiyan. "This is the guy who attacked Capsule Corp? He looks too weak to be able to create such devastation..."
"Well, Vegeta, I dunno who you think you are, but any human stupid enough to challenge me must have a death wish." He clenched his fists.
"Human? Me?" Vegeta mocked. "Ha! I think you're the one with the death wish, young Saiyan."
"What!" The Saiyan backed off. "I was told humans knew nothing of the Saiyans... Wait, how did you know I was a Saiyan at all?"
"I just told you, I'm not human, young blood." Vegeta retorted.
"Then.. what are you?"
"What do you think? I'm a Saiyan." Vegeta replied annoyed at this youth's ignorance.
"Then, if you're a Saiyan, you must be Kakarot!" The youth's face lit up. "I can't believe I found you!"
Vegeta scoffed. "I'm not Kakarot..."
The Saiyan's face had a puzzled look on it. "Then... who the hell are you?"
"I'm Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans."
"You lie!" The Saiyan shouted. "Prince Vegeta is dead! How dare you mock him!"
"Really now?" Vegeta sneered. "I'd think I'd know if I was 'dead' now wouldn't I?"
The Saiyan's face showed only anger. "Well, if you are indeed Prince Vegeta, you'll have no trouble stopping this! Rargh!"
The Saiyan charged straight at Vegeta and threw a flurry of fast punches directly at Vegeta's unguarded face.
Vegeta effortlessly dodged each one.
"Huh? How'd I miss?" He wondered. He threw a few more, but this time even faster.
Same result. He couldn't even touch Vegeta.
"Rrr..." He growled. "So you're fast, big deal!"
The young Saiyan threw a kick directly at Vegeta's abdomen, but Vegeta caught his foot before it even got halfway there.
"Impossible!" The Saiyan yelled wide eyed.
Vegeta smirked. "You've got no speed to your attacks..." And with that, he tossed the young Saiyan by his leg into the adjacent canyon wall.
He landed with a crash. As he shook it off, he realized he'd been imbedded almost a good 6 inches into the mountain.
"How's this guy so strong?" He pulled himself out of the rock. He had to check this guys power level to be sure...
He couldn't believe what his scouter was telling him!
"Wha-- what!" He nearly fainted at the reading. "There's no way! No one alive has that much energy!"
Vegeta folded his arms. "I'm standing here aren't I?"
"Could... Could it be possible? Is this the real Vegeta? Was he indeed alive all this time?"
He shook his head in disbelief. "Even if you are Prince Vegeta, I'm still getting those dragonballs!"
With that the Saiyan built his ki till he was glowing red.
"Try this out why don't ya! Haaa!" He threw three large red ki blasts straight at Vegeta.
Vegeta didn't move until the blasts were right in front of him. He neutralized the first two with his own ki, then sent the third right back home.
The Saiyan did his best to stand his ground by swatting it right back to Vegeta.
But instead of it colliding with the Saiyan prince, it kept on going right through where Vegeta was standing.
"What the--!" The Saiyan grew wide eyed. "Where'd he go?"
"You're pathetic..." Came from behind him.
"What th--"
Before he finished his thought, Vegeta rendered the young Saiyan totally useless with one blow to the back of his head.
"Ow..." He managed to utter as he fell down unconscious.
But Vegeta didn't want this young dead, not yet anyways. So caught the Saiyan by his armor and pulled him back onto the Cliffside.
"Hmph." Vegeta murmured in disappointment. "This kid's even weaker than Krillin... How'd he expect to beat me?"
As he laid the unconscious Saiyan on his back Vegeta examined him up close.
"Hmm... He still has his tail I see." He said pulling it away from the Saiyan's belt pouch. "Wonder what's in here?"
Looking into it, all he saw was some pocket change and what looked like a pilot license. Vegeta pulled it out for a closer look.
"R-o-h-k" It read. "Well, least now I know what this kid's name is."
Going deeper through the pouch, he noticed a photo wallet that was underneath everything else. Vegeta reached under it all to see just what was inside.
"Hmm..." He said as he thumbed through the pictures. "They're just pictures of this kid... and what looks like his mother. But where's his father?"
Going all the way to the end, Vegeta suddenly stopped once he reached the last picture. He pulled it out to get a better look at it.
"Huh!" Vegeta stared in shock at a photograph. "This picture... I'm in it! And so's Nappa and Radditz... That means this was back when I was allies with Freiza..."
Vegeta looked again at the unconscious Saiyan, who he now knew was called 'Rohk'.
"Just who is this kid? And how did he get this picture!" Vegeta closed up the wallet and pouch, but held onto them.
"This Rohk must have answers..." Vegeta thought to himself. "But, he's gonna be out of it for quite some time."
"Alright, I'll bring him back with me." Vegeta decided. "Besides, I can't just let him free to blow up anything else."
With that, he grabbed the unconscious Rohk by the shoulder blade part of his armor and flew off.
Capsule Corp: 3 hours later
The three Saiyan boys landed in front of Capsule Corp after a somewhat successful search for the remaining dragonballs.
"Hehehe!" Goten laughed holding up a dragonball he'd found. "I'm so happy I got one!"
Trunks held up one of his own finds. "Don't forget I got one too!"
They both turned to Gohan who was walking down the hall at a much slower pace than them. They both snickered at the fact Gohan hadn't managed to find any.
Hearing them laugh, Gohan joked lightly. "Hey, I'd have gotten that one if Goten didn't push me outta the way..."
Goten turned his back to his brother and waved his hand at him in disbelief. "Aw, you're just jealous cause I'm better than you."
Gohan just laughed with his brother and Trunks.
"Maybe Goten really could be better than me..." Gohan thought. "After all he can already go Super Saiyan... And he's not even half my size yet."
Walking down to the testing room, they noticed Vegeta, Bulma, and Goku standing outside a chamber with a one way mirror.
"Dad! Dad!" Goten shouted as he ran jubilantly at his dad holding up his prize.
"Hey, Goten!" Goku smiled as he picked up Goten in mid run. "You got a dragonball? Alright!"
"Dad, I got one too!" Trunks held it up for his dad to see.
Unfortunately, Vegeta had his mind somewhere else at the time and didn't notice.
"Vegeta..." Bulma elbowed him.
"Hm?" He turned around to see Trunks smiling at him. "Oh, you found a dragonball did you?"
Vegeta wasn't any type to be emotional in the least... But after dying trying to defeat Majin Buu, it made him realize how much Trunks had missed out on a father.
He didn't want to get all touchy feely, but he at least had to show he was proud of his kid in some way.
"Impressive work, Trunks." He took the dragonball from his son and gave him a quick tap of appreciation on his head.
"Hey, Vegeta." Gohan asked. "Did you ever get the Saiyan you went after?"
By now, Vegeta had folded his arms and turned back to the mirror.
"Yes, I did." He answered not looking at Gohan. "We put him in there for the time being."
Curious, Gohan walked over to the mirror to see this mystery Saiyan. Goten and Trunks tried to see as well, but had to pull up onto the window seal.
"Wow..." Gohan noted. "He doesn't look like he could be any older than me..."
"What's his name?" Goten asked trying not to lose his grip.
"Vegeta found out his name is Rohk," Goku answered. "But other than that, we don't know anything else..."
"That's not correct, Kakarot." Vegeta corrected. "Take a look at this." He handed the small pouch to Goku.
"These are only pictures though..." Goku said thumbing through them.
"Keep looking." Vegeta said turning back around to the mirror.
"Hey..." Goku pulled out the picture Vegeta had spotted earlier. "Where'd he get this from?"
"You're guess is as good as mine Kakarot. We won't know anything else until he regains consciousness."
"Uh, I think you spoke to soon Vegeta." Gohan said pointing to the glass. "I think he's waking up..."
They began to notice Rohk slowly sitting up and holding his head. Once he realized they were not on him, he began to try to find his personal articles.
"Hey! Lemme out!" Rohk shouted as he hit at the walls.
"What do we do now?" Bulma asked looking at Vegeta.
"We get answers. That's what." Vegeta concluded.
