Prologue
The One who Holds the Fate of the Entire Universe
He believes that life is a game of survival. In order to live, you have to do everything your way. Trust no one. Close your heart off to foolish emotions. And kill before you get killed, for in this world: The mighty survives the game and the weak perishes.
He was the Saiyan Prince, ruler of the most powerful warriors in the universe, the most dangerous person you may have ever met. He was capable of destroying worlds, of killing many people. In fact, he did destroy a hundred worlds and killed trillions of innocent lives in cold blood before. Therefore, civilizations across the universe tremble upon the sound of his name.
His name was Vegeta, but they usually refer to him as the Legendary Destroyer of Worlds. The perfect warrior, cold and ruthless, who lived by his sheer strength alone, uninhabited by foolish emotions and attachments. Never he did show mercy on those he killed nor felt any remorse for them.
All this he did for revenge against the galactic overlord named Frieza who destroyed everything he once had, his parents, his people and his home planet. Enslaved him, humiliated him and used his tactical and battle prowess to conquer and destroy many other worlds, just like what they did to his home. Sometimes, Vegeta could think this as gratitude for the hatred and bitterness life has given him. He wanted everyone to feel and suffer his wrath.
Vegeta lived by those evil intentions; he killed and destroyed, taking pleasure of his victim's fear, whimpers, screams, cries and blood spill, for ten years straight, ever since he was seven.
But everything was changed by the time he arrived at a little dust ball called 'Earth'. Vegeta primarily went to this planet to wish for immortality using seven magical balls called the Dragon Balls, which could grant any wish you could desire. And after achieving that, he plans to destroy the planet. He was the universe's Legendary Destroyer of Worlds after all.
But all of his plans came into a failure when a low class Saiyan warrior, Kakarot, who was sent in here years ago to destroy the planet but failed to do so in whatever reason, got in his way. He lets his subordinates; Broco and Pampukin take care of him.
However, his men weren't enough to defeat a lowly trash and his friends! How could someone like Kakarot improve like this? He was a third class warrior and he won't ever be a match to elite Saiyan warriors!
Broco and Pampukin's failure to defeat Kakarot made Vegeta step into the fight and take care of matters by himself but not after he ripped Broco and Pampukin apart by telekinesis. As the most powerful Saiyan of all, the prince was very confident that he could punish the low class trash, who denied him and defied him as prince. And yes, he was more far more superior than Kakarot and even to all Saiyans mind you, but he could tell that the low class clown was holding his powers back. Vegeta has pushed Kakarot to the very limit of his power. He planned to break that overconfidence the fool showed him in battle. But Kakarot proved to be very resilient just like the pest he is. The traitor had more tricks in his sleeve than the Saiyan prince had anticipated. This has made Vegeta mad and decided to destroy the Earth by unleashing the beast that's been asleep within him. He even threatened to kill Kakarot's human friends. He mercilessly fired a ki blast at an annoying girl who must be Kakarot's ally watching the fight he bet she could not even see.
Then, Kakarot screamed. An explosion happened next. A bright yellow light surrounded him and engulfed his body. His power rising to its limits and Vegeta found his form undergo a change.
When the smoke cleared, it revealed an ascended Kakarot. His form was different. His hair was no longer black; it was blonde and was standing upright. His onyx eyes were now a jade green and his body engulfed with yellow aura. What a surprise, Kakarot just transformed into a Super Saiyan, the legend of the Saiyan race, has finally awakened from within him. -WAIT! Vegeta was supposed to undergo that transformation, NOT HIM! He was the direct descendant of the legendary Super Saiyan, how could this be? Why?!
And so, on that very day, the first time Vegeta suffered his first humiliation. His pride as the Saiyan prince was slashed to ribbons before him. He was so close to victory and yet, Kakarot was able to create a miracle and turn the tables.
This was the first time he received defeat from the common hands of someone supposedly lower and weaker than himself. From a low level trash, he could say.
His pride will never accept that.
After that very humiliating defeat, Vegeta was sure that his imminent death would be next. Somewhere inside of him, something tells him that he shouldn't die, not like this. He must never let it end like this, Never. There was another saying, 'Maybe it was better this way, so that all my sufferings would come to an end'. He waited, but Kakarot refused to kill him, to his and the Earthling's bewilderment. That moment Vegeta thought Kakarot's heart was human after all; it was different from all Saiyans and very much different from his. And that he was a fool, of course.
Son Goku spared Vegeta's life, actually, he spared his life just because he thought how the prince's life would be such 'a waste' when he saw him about to die. Of course, his human friends rejected his wish but Kakarot pleaded and promised them he will take responsibility.
As Vegeta struggled to get into his space pod, Kakarot abruptly destroyed it on a purpose. Why that little-! Goku told Vegeta to stay, which he would refuse and his friends protested about. They cannot let a murderous alien stay with anyone of them!
Vegeta would have refused, and Kakarot insisted him to try to enjoy a human life in here together with the humans, the weakest race Vegeta has ever ever known. Kakarot assured him that he would like it. Vegeta wanted to turn it down but Goku has asked a purple haired woman if he could stay in her house. The others thought he was going crazy because he would let a killing machine like the Saiyan prince live in the same house as their friend. He just tried to kill them moments ago so why would he let him join them? Vegeta was intrigued by this question in his head.
Kakarot doesn't think Vegeta's truly evil. He guessed it was influenced by the world where he lives. A world full of hatred and bitterness. So if there was a person who lived in a word full of hate and resentment, try and show him love and sympathy.
Good little Kakarot, he could actually make his own philosophy!
But Vegeta will never be influenced by that! He doesn't need his sympathy!
He doesn't need their sympathy. Pity coming from humans and a low class Saiyan trash.
No! Vegeta will not swallow his pride just to join this weak pathetic race and live in their mud ball of a planet! But, with his space pod destroyed into pieces, where else would he go to? He doesn't even have anything but the armor he wore, and the debris of his own space pod.
The humans were reluctant upon their Saiyan friend's decision. He was a fool to think of Vegeta as if he would turn over a new leaf. But the fact that Vegeta has nowhere else to go made the proud prince accept his offer reluctantly.
The woman said that Vegeta could stay on her home as long as he'd want so long as he 'doesn't do perverted things to her' and that it's alright for him to stay because they have plenty of food to feed him. Then she goes on saying that she would have guessed Vegeta could eat as much as Goku does, much to the other humans' amazement. The embarrassed prince simply gritted his teeth and cursed the woman's loud mouth, Annoyed and humiliated. "What a vulgar woman. To say that in such a loud voice is very irritating!"
Then she goes on calling him Jiita-kun as if she was calling a little puppy. Who does she think she's calling? Some kind of a pet? Vegeta felt heat rose on his cheeks, he was completely embarrassed and annoyed. She let out a chuckle when she saw him go all red. "Why is my heart throbbing..?" He fiercely wondered, confused about this strange feeling. "– naturally!" Of course, his heart would be beating! If it isn't then he must be dead!
Vegeta was brought to this huge round yellow building at the center of an Urban city, they called the 'Capsule Corporation'. His new home.
She looked at him with a disgusted look. She ordered him to follow her to the shower room and wash himself after he was healed by some kind of a bean. Kakarot handed Vegeta the bean and told him to take it. The Saiyan prince reluctantly snatched the bean in his hand and stared at it suspiciously, wondering how such a bean like this could heal him instantly. Goku gave Vegeta an irritating sheepish grin and told him to eat it. Vegeta reluctantly ate the bean and felt his body regenerate much to his surprise.
In less than a minute, he thought.
An evil smirk curled upon Vegeta's lips, stabbing a finger towards Kakarot's direction and told him how he would pay for what he has done. That he would be regret this day that he foolishly showed him mercy and expect him to become like them.
A Saiyan who was human at heart.
That will NEVER happen. Vegeta swore to his pride that he will never allow that to happen.
Vegeta swore to Kakarot that he will find a way to surpass him no matter what. And when that happens, he will kill him and destroy the Earth once and for all.
A sheepish grin ran across Kakarot's stupid goofy face and told Vegeta he was looking forward to it.
Vegeta snorted and then he grumbled on what idiot he truly is as he began walking into the human woman's trail.
As soon as Vegeta left, the Z fighters discussed about the ominous power Vegeta possessed that he was completely unaware of. The Saiyan Prince was considered the most dangerous threat in the universe according to the group's strategist, the Namekian known as Piccolo. It was not only due to Vegeta's extraordinary amount of destructive ki power that makes him perilous. It was because of a power known as Pathifery, the ability to warp and control reality via strong emotions and desires.
With this power alone, Vegeta can destroy literally anything, from atoms to the entire universe, break any law of physics, create, alter and erase existences he wished to. However, due to being oblivious of such power, Vegeta will be completely innocent once he begins using that power, which, according to Piccolo, will only be activated if Vegeta strongly wishes or desires something so badly.
Vegeta's high pride for himself was the only thing that prevents his Pathifery powers to fully activate. Because of that pride, Vegeta has control over his desires. He wanted to do things by himself using his own powers (one he's completely aware of). Plus, he seems not to be the kind of person to be emotional at all. He's one cold hearted bastard.
However, his evilness also adds up to the danger brought by that power. Yes, Vegeta may appear to be cold hearted, but he is indeed a walking landmine, someone whose bad temper could easily explode at any moment. If anything, the only emotion that Vegeta could perfectly show without hiding it was his rage at not getting his way or of anything that offends him or his pride as the Saiyan Prince. If anything does anger him to the point that he truly wishes for it to be destroyed, therefore it shall happen. After all, the prince of all Saiyans always gets what he wants and when he wants something, nothing in this entire universe could ever stop him.
Goku's idea of changing Vegeta's evilness was their only hope of saving the universe from being completely destroyed. He was hoping that if Vegeta could change and control his anger and his evil desires, his dangerous powers might be used for good. As of now, the Z fighters had decided not to tell Vegeta of his Pathifery ability due to his evil heart. It would be risky if he decides to use that power to do his wicked deeds.
Changing Vegeta will befall to the hands of an ordinary human girl, Bulma Briefs, the woman who Vegeta will be living with from now on.
But Goku's hopes of trying to save the universe proved to be more of a risk than safety. He didn't know that his decision had set the entire universe on its path to destruction.
