A Prince and His Queen

Vegeta's a prince and Bulma's a third class saiyan living on Planet Vegeta. What happens when the two must join together to stop Frieza from destroying their planet? Will they succeed or will they immensely fail? A Bulma and Vegeta romance.

Author Notes:

Before I begin, I have to say that I've changed some things. Bulma is a saiyan, not human. Vegeta is a prince and King Vegeta is still alive for the time being. This story takes place when everyone is about in the range of 17 or 18. Goku is in my story as well along with Bardock. Goku is a third class saiyan as well as Bulma and for this story, I'm calling him by his real name Kakarot. Chi-Chi is a saiyan as well and will come into the story at a later time. And I'm still giving Goku Kakarot his sense of goofiness. I just couldn't write him without it! He will however, be serious at times too. And I know that Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta when Vegeta was a kid, not teenager, but I change several things in this Fic.
I forgot to mention where Raditz is, he's off on a mission to destory a planet. You know how King Vegeta sends a saiyan every once and a while to take over or destory a planet? Well that's where Raditz is, he'll come in later in the story. Sorry for the wait!

Disclaimer: Do you really think I own DBZ or any of its characters? Well, I don't, plain and simple.

Chapter 5- Frieza's Potency

The purple blast came closer and closer to the two as the seconds went by. Kakarot grabbed a hold of Bardock and dodged the attack right before it could hit them. The blast went soaring downward into the city where moments later, an explosion was heard.

Frieza laughed and looked down upon the once lively city, now destroyed. The blast had missed his target, but it had done its job all the same. He turned toward the two saiyans with a grin. "Oh what a plan," He remarked sarcastically. "You dodge the attack only to have it destroy your city." He began clapping his hands. "That was brilliant, ever think of joining my league?"

Kakarot stared in shock at the ruined city while Frieza laughed merciless in the background. Kakarot clutched his fists tighter and started for a charge attack. Bardock held him back.

"Stop," He simply said.

Kakarot stared into his father's eyes. "He destroyed the city, the whole city!" He looked down at the city once again. "We can't let him do this!"

Bardock shook his head, "I want to defeat him as much as you. But we won't get anyway by attacking out of emotion, we need a plan."

"Defeat me?!" Frieza interrupted the two saiyan's conversation. He laughed once more. "You two think you can defeat me?!"

"We don't think, we know," Kakarot replied with a glare. (Was that was an actual quote from Goku in DBZ?)

Frieza gave a short "Tsk" and raised his arms. "Let's see how you stand up to this then! Death Beam!" He yelled.

Kakarot could only watch in horror as the blast neared him and his father. Bardock grabbed Kakarot just in time before the blast could collide with his son. He quickly regained his posture then looked back at Frieza only to see that he was gone.

Prince Vegeta flew through the hazy sky slowly, looking down below at the city as he went. He didn't want to admit it but he felt a pain as he looked down below to the torn buildings and trashed streets. It was the pain of knowing that his race, the strongest race yet, the saiyan race, was being destroyed right before his eyes. And where was he? Flying above the city while others suffered in pain.

The prince gave a quick shake of his head. What had he been thinking? He was a Prince, royal blood. He hadn't needed to save those people, even if they were his race, he was no hero. He was simply royalty, and that was what he wanted to remain...

Suddenly, he stopped in mid-air. Some kind of powerful ki was heading his way. He looked into his scouter and his mouth dropped. According to the scouter, whoever was coming his way had a power level of 530,000. It was beyond belief for anyone to be so strong. It just wasn't possible...or was it?

Prince Vegeta looked around, trying to detect where the enormous power level could be coming from. He came up short.

"What am I worrying about?" Prince Vegeta asked himself quietly, "Hmp, whoever they are, I can beat them. I'm Prince Vegeta, ruler of all saiyans!"

"You mean the Prince Vegeta?" Another voice spoke up.

Prince Vegeta froze in his spot. That power level, it couldn't be. His eyes transfixed to the numbers on his scouter which clearly read: 530,000. It was him, the creature with enormous power level.

Taking one last breath of reassurance, Prince Vegeta slowly turned around to face the face of pure evil...

---

"No!" Bardock yelled to particularly no one, "He's gone!"

Kakarot ignored his father's yelling for the time being and busily began searching his scouter for the one called Frieza. "What was his power level?" He asked.

Bardock shrugged, "I didn't catch it. I was too busy trying not to get killed."

Kakarot cast an eye on his father. He hadn't none if that comment had been sarcasm or not, but right now they needed to find Frieza, and fast. "Where could he have gone?"

"I don't know, but we better get to King Vegeta's promptly," Bardock replied with a look of seriousness.

Kakarot nodded then stopped as the realization suddenly hit him. Frieza had left to go kill the King...

---

Prince Vegeta could only let out a gasp as he looked into the face of Frieza. Frieza was a creature like none other he had ever seen before. A white and purple lizard like creature...

Suddenly, he stopped his train of thought. A white and purple lizard like creature. The words replayed in his mind again and again as he realized that this had been the creature the third class saiyans had warned his father about only a week ago. They had said the evil would come and it had. But with a power level of that much? Would they even have the strength or the skill to defeat it? First class warriors were no doubt strong, but no where as near as strong as this creature was...

"So are you just going to stand there or do I have to make the first move?" Frieza spoke, his tail lingering in the air slowly.

"Who are you?!" Prince Vegeta managed to croak out.

Frieza began laughing, much to Prince Vegeta's amazement. "Who am I? It surprises me that you don't know, considering I'm the most powerful being in the universe." He began laughing again.

Prince Vegeta glared angrily at the Icejin. Who was he to call himself the most powerful? It was the saiyans who were and would always be superior. No Icejin or creature in the universe could match or compare to their power.

"I, Prince Vegeta, am Lord Frieza, soon to be ruler of the universe," Frieza replied once he had stopped laughing. "And you," He pointed to Prince Vegeta, "could just as well be my new lackey. That is, if you do as I say."

"What makes you think I'd want to be your lackey?" Prince Vegeta spoke crossly, "I am a Prince! It is you who bows down before me."

Frieza laughed, "Well then, let's see how much of a prince you are." In a flash, he soared over toward Vegeta and gave him a quick punch to the stomach.

Pain soared through the prince's stomach like lightning and he gave out a wheeze. Slowly, he regained back his form and glared at Frieza. "I'll show you why they call me the Prince of all saiyans!" He yelled out as he began straight toward Frieza.

The Icejin simply laughed as Prince Vegeta's fist made its way closer and closer to his chest. Finally, the impact happened but Frieza was left unharmed. Prince Vegeta flew back a couple of feet in bewilderment. It just wasn't possible for a single creature to be so powerful. Frieza hadn't even flinched.

"I hope that wasn't your best," Frieza replied in a matter-of-factly tone.

Prince Vegeta said nothing in response.

"Speechless are we?" Frieza asked with a cocked eye, "Well then, maybe this will give you reason to speak!" Quickly, he launched a series of punches and kicks to the saiyan prince's body.

Prince Vegeta absorbed the punches and kicks like a sponge, each kick and punch having a painful effect. It was no use fighting back, Frieza was too strong and too fast. Hope for Planet Vegeta seemed to be lost...
