Chapter 1

Kakarotte moved with extreme caution trying not to wake the sleeping form next to him. The sun had just touched the sky, but already he was late. Once he had managed to untwine himself away from the brown haired woman, he set about putting on his saiyin clothing followed by his armour.

"Where do you think you're running off to?" He turned at her low voice, she stretched lazily before him letting him rake in her naked body. "Are you escaping me again?" She asked smiling coyly at him, his eyes heated, his animal instincts saying claim her but he resisted the urge, he was already to damn late!

"I have to leave Mara, you know that we set off today." He told her as he sat down on the bed to pull on a boot. She sat up instantly,

"But when will you be back?" She said alarmed. She thought for sure that she had him; she believed that it would only be a matter of time before he claimed her as his mate. But now he was leaving and he didn't know when he was going to return, and she didn't know if he even was going to return…She sulked to herself and crossed her arms. Kakarotte knew she was going to be angry with him, that's why he wanted to leave without her knowing. He simply had no feelings for her, but she had a delectable body and satisfied his urges. But he always left before she got to attached. Like she was doing now.

"I'm going Mara, I think its best you forget about me." He said holding her gaze.

"YOU BASTARD! Get out, I never want to see you again, you user! You bull-headed ignorant…" He left before she could finish, it was better this way, otherwise he was just leading her on, she would come back to him after he came back, and she always did.

The early morning sunshine blinded him; his hand shaded his eyes as he started walking. His tail twitched with apprehension at the thought of today's mission, he knew something exciting was going to happen, his senses revelled with it. An open encampment was placed in front of the large ship, it held saiyin's who had travelled from other parts of Vegeta and had no other accommodation. The encampment wasn't even that big, it held about two hundred men at most. This was because most of them lived in the main city.

Kakarotte walked through the camp, other saiyins were beginning to wake and some had even started packing things away, several greeted him as he headed towards the large metal ship.

"Kakarotte! You're late!" An impatient Radditz shouted to his sibling, both were so unalike to be brothers, but brothers they were, what one lacked the other possessed complimenting each other. Radditz was reserved and always thought with his head, whilst Kakarotte was easy going and always listened to his heart.

"Nothing new then?" Vegeta stated stepping down from the ship, his cloak following behind him. Kakarotte and Radditz bowed before their prince. Vegeta merely grunted to his companions.

"Who's left?" Vegeta said noticing a few missing spaces.

"Nappa's already on board, so that leaves Turles, Bardock and Brolly left to arrive." Radditz told Vegeta Goku yawned wandering where his father and uncle were.

A commotion could be heard in the distance, the three saiyins turned to look at what was going on.

"I bet I know who it is." Kakarotte said to the others, but Vegeta and Radditz already guessed themselves as to who it was.

A small circle had formed around the two fighters, two saiyins were fighting and were really going at it, both were large but moved with fluid grace as they dodged punches and kicks. Brolly was enjoying himself; he hadn't had a good brawl in a while.

Brolly was just messing around but the other younger saiyin seemed to be taking it a bit to seriously, Brolly knew he could finish this fight with one punch but he wanted to let the other saiyin think he was winning. Both stepped back a distance and powered up to super saiyins.

Saiyins were a warrior race skilled for their fighting techniques, and most of the universe trembled in fear at the name 'saiyin'. But what they made up for in brawn they lacked in brains. Saiyins theory was always destroy now ask questions later, so they hired other alien races to design technology for them. So the saiyins now had the brawn and the brains.

Brolly was just about to end it when he saw Vegeta coming from the corner of his eye with an angry look on his face. And because Brolly wasn't concentrating the other saiyin took the opportunity to hit Brolly square in the jaw knocking him to the floor.

All the men laughed, and let the three saiyins past so they now stood before Brolly, who was sitting on the floor holding his jaw.

"That serves you right!" Radditz told him sternly whilst Kakarotte tried to stifle a laugh. Vegeta looked at Kakarotte and gave him a look, which made him keep a straight face and posture.

"Brolly I warned you about this! We don't have time, we should have already left by now." Vegeta told him, Brolly stood and dusted himself off before bowing to his leader. Vegeta scowled at the group until they followed suit and bowed as well.

"Hurry up and finish packing, the ship will leave in thirty minutes with or without you." He yelled to the men so they could clearly hear him. "I do hope all of you will be joining us or suffer the consequences!" All the men moved quickly after Vegeta had walked away.

"I'm surrounded by idiots!" Vegeta muttered under his breath.

The four saiyins returned to ship where Bardock and his brother, Turles, were waiting impatiently.

"Hey you told me to be here early, and look what happens, you all turn up late." Bardock complained.

"Hold your tongue Bardock!" Vegeta growled as he stepped up to the ship.

"What's up with him? Did he get out of the wrong side of the bed or something?" Bardock whispered to the others.

"He's always like this first thing in the morning!" Radditz claimed stepping onto the ship.

"I thought Vegeta was always like that." Kakarotte whispered back as the others tried hard not to laugh.

Once the ship was in motion, the six saiyins sat around a table. Vegeta dismissed whoever wasn't meant to be in the room and then stood up.

"Lets gets this over with, I hate briefing. Kakarotte you'll be in charge of taking the exploration team down and finding a suitable place for us to land and set up camp. We're not sure if there's any life on the planet so don't die."

"Nice to see you care about me your highness."

"Oh shut up Kakarotte." Vegeta carried on, "Bardock and Radditz you're with Kakarotte." A small moan of despair could be heard in the background. "Brolly and Turles will remain on the ship keeping in contact with you three, to make sure you stay out of trouble." The saiyins nodded to Vegeta for confirmation. "Got that, good get out of my sight." Vegeta said leaving through a set of doors, which led to his private quarters.

The others left to the bridge where they waited to see the planet.

"Chron? Give me some information on this place!" Kakarotte shouted. He walked over to a large screen as the small alien did as requested. "What's this place called again?" he asked to whoever was listening. Radditz came up behind him.

"Do you ever pay attention?" Radditz said annoyed with his younger sibling. "Its called Gallephan, the planets surface is mostly made out of tropical plants and water."

"So more or less likely something will be living on it!" Bardock said looking up at the screen, which showed a green planet.

"Don't worry we'll be ready for them." Kakarotte said confidently to his father.

"How long before we arrive Chron?" Radditz shouted.

"About thirty light days my lord."

"Good just enough time for breakfast then." Kakarotte said patting his stomach.

"Is food all you think about?" Radditz said disgusted.

"Well I am a saiyin after all." Kakarotte reminded him as they all left to go to and get food.
