Poll is over! Looks like the pairing will be Ben T. x OC Female Saiyan (Relative of King Vegeta). But soon enough we'll see just how the Codon Stream has affected Ben's new Saiyan form. Also, I'm open to suggestions for Ki based attacks that Ben could learn.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Ben 10, or Dragon Ball Z!

New Home with a New Race!
The ship touched down on a landing port on the planet's capitol city. The ramp went down, and Vegeta and company exited the interstellar vehicle. Ben was even more amazed by the planet's surface. The red sky, the strange buildings, even the unusual rock formations that you wouldn't normally see on Earth.
"Welcome home, father and mother."
Receiving the king and queen along with Ben were a few other Saiyans. The first was a child that looked almost like a carbon copy of King Vegeta, only his hair was jet black instead of brown. He wore a smaller version of King Vegeta's attire, but his jumpsuit was blue and had no sleeves. He also had a brown monkey tail that was wrapped around his waist like a belt.
The second child looked to be around Ben's age. She was by far the most beautiful girl that Ben has ever seen. Although she did look different from the other Saiyans. Like her father, she didn't have black hair. Instead, she had a smooth bowl cut hairstyle that was midnight purple on the left side, and bronze on the right side. Her eyes were as red as fire rubies, and her armor seemed to scream royalty.
She wore an undersuit that resembled a purple leotard, while her battle jacket was similar to her father's. However, her battle jacket was black where the white would be, and was designed for a woman. She also wore pink boots, black gloves, and a Scouter with an orange lense. Her tail was more of a red color and was wrapped around her waist like a belt.
"Carogo, Vegeta, it is good to see you again after such a long trip." Celena said, happy to see her children again.
The young prince groaned and squirmed slightly as his mother hugged him. Although secretly, he'd never outgrow his mother's hugs. Not that he'd ever tell anyone that, of course. Once she broke the hug with her son, she hugged her daughter who returned it with just as much enthusiasm.
Although Carogo's attention was drawn to this new Saiyan male that was standing a few steps away from her parents. Her Scouter was showing that he had power, but there was something else about him that put Carogo on edge. But she just couldn't figure out why.
"Father, who is that strange Saiyan behind you?" Carogo asked.
"This young man is Ben Tennyson. He will be joining the ranks of our planet's warriors tomorrow." King Vegeta explained.
"Ben, I'd like you to meet our two children. This is our eldest daughter, Carogo, and our son, Prince Vegeta." Cellena introduced.
Ben bowed in respect to the two royal children, and was surprised when they bowed back in a form of greeting. He knew that things were definitely going to be different from now on, but he was just glad that he now had someone that he knew on this new planet.
King Vegeta ordered one of his guards to take Ben to the house he would be staying at, and Queen Cellena turned to her mate with a questioning look.
"Why did you save that boy in the first place, my king?" Cellena asked.
King Vegeta briefly stroked his beard. His answer was clear, but he didn't quite know how to put it into words. So, he decided to just tell her the truth.
"I saved him because I saw the potential to become a great warrior in that boy. I'd rather not let such potential go to waste by letting him die like that." King Vegeta explained. "Besides, I saw a little bit of myself in that boy. He merely needs the proper guidance to unleash his latent power."
Cellena seemed to now understand her husband's intentions with Ben. It was true that he had much power, but he would need to learn how to unleash it through the trials of real life combat. Especially since he was a living version of this "Codon Stream" that Ben had told them about. Plus, she knew that her husband wanted a strong heir to take his place as King one day.
She walked back into the palace with her husband and children. Cellena had a bit of paperwork to take care of before spending time with her children. She had to figure out just what kind of crew would benefit from Ben and his new powers.
"Perhaps I should put him into Carogo's crew." Cellena thought to herself.
As for Ben? He had just arrived at his new home, and was already settled in. It was a modest home that had the things that one would expect in a house. A kitchen, a bed and bath, a TV room, along with running water and electricity.
Ben had already showered, and was ready for bed. He had a feeling that he was going to need it tomorrow, and wanted to be well rested. Unknown to Ben, the Saiyan DNA that he had scanned from King Vegeta was beginning to take root in his own Human DNA, changing him further. But this transformation would be more permanent as opposed to the ones that had been temporary for all those years.
Okay, there's the next chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it! If anyone has names for the remaining members of Ben's crew. I already have two, but I need two more. Remember that they have to be vegetable based puns like every other Saiyan (besides Goku). Also, here's a schedule for my update list.
