Far away from the saiyan's current location, a planet was under attack. Countless explosions were visible from space along with flashing lights. The glow of the explosions reflected against the large window as a small figure observed the red gem. His pink tail swung lightly as he took a sip of red wine. The countless eruptions on the planet's surface brought out a satisfied smirk as he observed the situation with cold crimson eyes. He tilted his head to the right and rested it on his hand as he watched in silence from his hovering pod.
Behind him, however, stood a tall handsome green-haired man who held a bottle of wine. His golden eyes never moved away as he as well enjoyed the view. "My lord, my scouts tell me the king's willing to hand over the planet in exchange for his safety alone." The man's index finger remained on the scouter as he waited for the response.
The creature released a soft chuckle before answering. "Of course, just as I thought..." He slightly rotated the cup as he stared through the window. "Just execute the poor fool. I have no use of him or his people, unlike this beautiful little gem." The entire planet reflected in his eyes as he moved closer to the large, round window.
Upon hearing the orders, the man immediately informed the soldiers on the planet what to do. "Consider it done, sir. However, if I may..." The man paused for a moment, waiting for his lord to allow him to speak what he had on his mind.
Once he got permission, he continued. "Disregarding the weak and cowardly king and most of his followers, there are a few skilled warriors on that planet. We could integrate them and make the Freeza Force even more powerful!" He lifted his hand and elegantly moved the strand of hair from his face.
The two-horned creature remained in silence. First, he took another sip while he thought about it. "Fine, I'll take your word on the matter, Zarbon... However, you'll oversee their progress. I don't want anything or anyone to hold back my spreading empire, understood?" " He shifted his head to the side and glanced at his guard.
He could feel gaze pierce thought him, but Zarbon didn't allow to falter. "Yes, Lord Freeza!" He bowed his head and remained in that position until his sire didn't look away.
"Anyway, I'm more interested in Dodoria's report. Could you elaborate on what happened?"
Zarbon lifted his head and started to explain. "From what I understood, there was a fight on station #21. The main building suffered major damages along with three others." He knew this wouldn't bother his lord as much as what he was about to say next. "Supposedly, the soldiers on that station got into a fight with a saiyan they never saw before." Just as he said that he could feel a shift in the air.
Freeza halted from taking another sip and slowly turned towards Zarbon. "A new saiyan just appeared out of nowhere on one of my planets? How exactly is that possible?" His voice was calm but that was just a front.
A drop of sweat rolled over Zarbon's light-blue skin as he quickly tried to answer. "It seems he was brought there by Raditz, sir. The witnesses also saw a little black-haired boy with a tail at their side." He, just like his master wanted to know from where this new saiyan came but they would need to wait.
Meanwhile, Freeza placed a hand under his chin and slowly began to levitate. "And what of their current location? Are they still on the station?" He was curious to meet this new saiyan. It was intriguing and quite exciting since he thought there were only three remaining saiyans alive in the universe.
"Unfortunately, my lord, they left for planet Tritek."
That caused Freeza to raise an eyebrow as he touched the floor. "Tritek... Isn't that the planet I dispatched Vegeta and his little group?" He was sure he sent the saiyan prince and his little squad there, so why was Raditz going there just now? And where did he found another saiyan?
Zarbon gave his master a positive nod and spoke. "You did, my lord. Do you want me to bring them here?" He would gladly do that. There was nothing better and amusing than to have some fun with the saiyans.
He thought about it but decided otherwise. "No, let them reunite and conquer the planet. However, send a message to report to the nearest station. I'm quite interested to meet our recruits... and of course, have some real talk with our dear monkeys!" Freeza raised a hand and hid his giggle as he stared at his reflection.

Three space pods were engulfed by flames as they entered the planet's atmosphere. They appeared on the world's green sky and headed towards the ground. It didn't take long before the pods crashed against the solid ground and created three holes, close to each other. The space pods opened simultaneously after the engines went silent. The warriors flew out of the craters and touched the ground for the first time in six months.
While the boy remained silent despite how curious he was of this world, Raditz glared at his younger brother who seemed eager to start the mission. He squeezed his fist tightly, still angry at his brother after what happened back on the station. There was no way he would forget Kakarot's disrespect and let it go. No, he would teach his younger brother a proper lesson once they were done with their mission.
He lifted his left hand and activated the device. "Hn, Vegeta and Nappa seem already in action." Said the long-haired warrior as he read the laters on the scouter. "We should regroup with them and Kakarot, watch your tongue!" He shot a glare at his younger brother who was stretching his arms and legs.
The wild-haired male just smirked back as he rose from the ground after warming up his body. "Sure, I'll do whatever you say, brother!" His sarcastic remarks didn't go unnoticed by Raditz who released an annoyed growl, however, that only amused Kakarot.
Raditz wanted to bash his brother's skull right here and now, but the older male refrained from doing so. He didn't want to cause any more problems because he knew Vegeta would do something about that. Instead, he closed his eyes and took a step forward. Just as he did that, several figures emerged from the ground, forcing Raditz to stop and look at the creatures in front.
The green bug-like creatures hissed at the saiyans who didn't understand what they were saying. Raditz immdiately noticed the weapons in their hands and narrowed his eyes. Before they could fire, the tall warrior disappeared. The saiyan struck like a bolt of lightning as he pummeled the small group in a matter of seconds. Their bodies fell on the ground as Raditz remained standing in the middle.
"Hmph, no resistance at all..."
A wicked grin was on his rough face as he looked down on the dead creatures. "This shouldn't be too hard for you or your boy, Kakarot." He shifted his dark orbs at his brother and released a little chuckle. "Now, let's go and meet with..." Before he was able to finish, a new wave of enemies arrived, causing the scouter to go crazy.
Raditz's eyes slowly started to widen as he saw how large the group was. "W-What a... there's too many!" Mumbled the long-haired warrior as he stared at the creatures quickly surrounding them. "Their power levels are nothing, but in such a big group they could pose a problem." Raditz clenched his teeth as a drop of sweat slid down his jaw.
He was able to tell it without using the scouter, but he was getting too excited to feel anything else. "Well, don't tell me this's going to be a problem for you, Raditz." Kakarot moved to a battle stance as he observed his opponents, ignoring Raditz's snarl. "Boy, stay close and follow my steps. If you see an opening, go for it!" He looked at his son who was standing near him.
The little boy gave his father a nod and focused on their enemies. "Yes, father!" His tail swayed behind his back as he glared at the creatures in front of his black eyes.
The circle around them grew smaller by the minute as the inhabitants of the planet surrounded them. Before long, Raditz released a shout and fired two ki blasts from each hand. Once he did that, the saiyan jumped in the air while Kakarot rushed in the second row and began to fight the creatures. Behind him was Gohan who attacked the ones who went after his father back.
From the sky, Raditz released a barrage of energy blasts. However, from up there he could see just how many enemies there were. "Damn it, there's no end to these things!" Sweat started to roll over his face as he unleashed more ki blasts.
While his older brother was doing his thing from above, Kakarot was dealing with the opposition in his way. "Hyahh!" The wild-haired saiyan pushed forward as he delivered fast and deadly shots to each bug he went after.
Soon, however, Kakarot was getting overwhelmed by the sheer number of people. They caught him by his arms and legs which stopped him for a moment. He released a grunt as he saw other bugs aim their weapons at him. As the sweat rolled over his forehead, Kakarot simply grinned. With a loud yell, he summoned his aura which blew away his opponents. Once he was free, Kakarot quickly dashed at those who dared to aim at him. He delivered a painful kick, a devastating punch, elbow, and agonizing knee strikes to his opponents.
He didn't even need to bother to look for his son, he could feel the boy's presence all the time. However, he knew his only child wouldn't be able to keep fighting all the time. So, he screamed and started to spin on the spot. Once he gained enough momentum, Kakarot fired several ki blasts that landed all over the place.
As the explosions illuminated the place, the boy just jumped from one enemy to another. The boy's small size allowed him to pass through many opponents. He mostly fought those who somehow survived his father's and uncle's attacks and sustained injuries. His childish growl echoed together with the explosions as he went after another target. The boy ducked as he avoided a laser beam and slid on the slippery ground. When he was closer, the boy used his hands to throw himself and attack the creature's head.
The battle went on for several hours. While fewer people were going after them, Kakarot and Raditz were both pale and exhausted. Their skins were pale and their bodies drenched in sweat. Raditz had several bruises on his arms and legs while one shoulder pad was broken. Kakarot, on the other hand, sustained more damage since he fought on the ground far longer. Both warriors pushed forward a little more, they could see there was only a handful left to deal with.
Unlike them, the boy was kneeling on the ground, barely able to breathe. "F-Father, watch out!" He forced himself to scream despite the fire in his throat.
When he heard his son's voice, Kakarot slid to the left and dodged a beam. With a swift turn, he crushed his elbow across the bug's face. "Worry about yourself instead of me!" Growled the saiyan as he swung his leg and destroyed the opponent's rib cage.
The boy didn't respond, but he was still looking out for his father. Luckily, most if not every opponent left was occupied with his father and uncle. He closed his tiny hand tightly as he felt useless to his father. Instead of fighting together with his father, he was knelling on the ground barely able to catch a breath. That frustrated the boy because he didn't want to be weight to him. Relying mostly on sheer will, the boy rose from the ground and shook his head.
He was finally on his feet when his ears twitched. The boy turned around and saw the bug he thought he finished rise up. He lifted his arms to protect himself, but the shot never came. Confused, the little half-saiyan lowered both arms and instead saw a hole in the bug's stomach. When the creature fell on the ground, he heard a voice from above.
"Well, it seems we arrived just in time Vegeta. There are a few of those bugs left, can I finish them off?"
The huge and muscular male looked at the flame-haired warrior who simply levitated in the air with arms crossed. "Do whatever you want, Nappa... Just don't kill those three in the process." His sharp gaze was focused on the boy who glared back.
Once he was given the permission, Nappa smirked. The tall saiyan cracked his knuckles and rushed towards the ground. Without even giving a warning, Nappa flew in and punched the creature in the face, splashing the blood across Kakarot's face. The saiyan chuckled at the younger male's expression and quickly moved on to the next target.
While Nappa was dealing with that, Vegeta descended on the ground. "Raditz, I take these are Kakarot and his brat." He walked past those two and approached his subornative who could barely stand.
When he heard the familiar voice, Raditz immediately turned around. "V-Vegeta..." His voice stammered as he looked at the shorter male. "Y-Yes, this is my younger brother and his son, Gohan. We wanted to join with you but these creatures just..." Before he was able to finish, Raditz felt a tremendous dose of pain in his gut.
Vegeta pushed his fist deeper, causing more pain and discomfort to Raditz. "I don't care about their names and what happened here..." His voice was low, but that frightened the long-haired saiyan the most. "There was a message from Zarbon just an hour ago and you know what did he say? Would you like to guess!?" He raised his voice once he pulled his fist back.
"W-Wait, Vegeta!"
A punch landed on Raditz's face, knocking the warrior on the ground. "Quiet! Because of you and your foolish request to take a detour to planet Earth, we're in trouble! Not to mention, your idiotic brother made quite a mess on the station from what I heard!" The prince lifted his leg and smashed it against Raditz's back.
In the rear, Kakarot was only able to watch what the shorter saiyan was doing to his older brother. Even if he wanted to do something, that wasn't possible. He was too tired and he was able to feel the man's power. It was something else, he never felt anything like that. Sweat fell from his chin as his blood started to boil. He wanted to experience it, fight this flame-haired warrior. However, once he felt the dangerous gaze, Kakarot snapped out of his little dream.
Vegeta approached the new saiyan and glared at him. "Hmph, you better hope Freeza's merciful enough after what you and your useless brother have done. Because, if something else happens..." The prince curled his fingers against Kakarot's neck and brought him closer. "I'll kill you and your brat personally, understand!?" His silent yet raspy voice caused Kakarot's pupils to tremble.
He didn't want to submit like this, but at the moment what else could he do? "Y-Yes, I understand..." Once he managed to say that, he was released. Kakarot dropped on his knees and coughed a few times.
With that being settled, Vegeta turned away and slowly walked towards the forest. "Tch, as you're right now, the three of you are useless... We'll finish off the rest of the population first thing in the morning. Freeza expects a meeting with us as soon as we finish this!" He continued to walk away, but turned his head slightly to cast a last glance at Kakarot and his son. He didn't know why, but there was feeling they would bring more trouble than necessary.
This time a shorter chapter because I wasn't here for a long time and I'm slowly trying to get back. I won't and can't tell when the next chapter will be out, but I will try to keep this going. If anyone is wondering about my other story, Invasion, unfortunately, that one won't be updated for quite some time. For now, I'm focusing on this one however and whenever I can.
Anyway, have a good read (hopefully) and try to ignore the errors of my writing. Bye!
