A/N: Well, here's Chapter 3. First, sorry it took a while, but I was once again struck with a bad case of writer's block, but, all better now. Second, I wanna say thanks to krillin, Meiyo Motou, Cara2012, thelittlewitchgirl, and Mariposa for all the reviews on Chapter 2, as well as LaughableBunny for the review on Chapter 1. Hope you guys all like this new Chapter. And for Mariposa: I promise this Chapter is a lot longer than either of the other two chapters.
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or any of the characters, Akira Toriyama does.
...
Prince Vegeta sat on the floor of Frieza's throne room, playing. Meanwhile, his father and the Ice-Jin were discussing something to do with the Planet Trade Organization.
"Good", Frieza said, smirking. "I expect the job will be done soon".
"Yes, Lord Frieza", King Vegeta said. And with that, the Saiyan king rose to his feet, picked up his son and the two left Frieza's ship.
...
Prince Vegeta was fast asleep when he was awakened by his father.
"Let's go, Vegeta", he heard his father say.
"Huh? Where are we going, Daddy?" the little prince asked, sleepily.
"You said the next time I went on a mission that you wanted to go with me, didn't you?" King Vegeta asked his son.
Vegeta was instantly awake. "Yeah!" he answered. Was his father really saying...? Did he really mean...?
"Well, Frieza's sending me, Nappa, and three other soldiers to Planet Kantana, and you're coming too", his father said.
"Okay, Daddy", Vegeta replied excitedly.
Before the young Saiyan prince knew it, he, his father, a soldier named Nappa, and three soldiers he recognized but didn't remember the names of, were inside the space pods that the Saiyans always travelled to other planets in.
Vegeta looked out the window of his own pod, knowing that his father and the other Saiyans were in the other five pods. The pods were relatively small, so as to travel faster. The only thing was, each only carried one person.
In a way though, Vegeta found himself wishing that he was in his father's pod. He was still little so he could have probably fit in his father's lap.
The four-year-old prince could hardly wait to get to this Planet Kantana. He wondered, what did the inhabitants there look like? Was the planet anything like Planet Vegeta? But then, it didn't matter. Vegeta knew the only reason he and the others were going was because Frieza wanted the inhabitants wiped out and the planet conquered, so he could sell it, like the lizard had done with so many planets before.
As he thought about this, something else crossed the small Saiyan's mind. The other day, when he had been on Frieza's ship, it had seemed like his father was careful about everything he did and said around Frieza. And when the lizard had said something about training Vegeta, his father had looked angry and possibly, a little afraid? But that didn't make any sense. If there was one thing Vegeta knew was true, it was that his father wasn't afraid of anyone or anything.
...
Two hours passed and Vegeta shook himself awake, unaware that he had fallen asleep in the first place. He looked out the window of his pod again. The other five pods were still there. Which meant they hadn't reached Kantana yet. Vegeta was excited about the mission, but he was also frustrated. How long before they reached the planet? What if the inhabitants weren't even worth fighting? Suddenly, the green scouter that he'd been given beeped.
"Vegeta, you awake?" his father's voice said through the device.
"Yeah, Daddy", Vegeta answered.
"We're almost there", the Saiyan king continued. "We'll be there in another two hours".
"Okay", Vegeta said and disabled the scouter.
He sat the scouter down and sighed in frustration. Two more hours? The Saiyan prince was all ready bored out of his mind and they were only halfway there.
"I'm gonna go insane from complete boredom", the four-year-old Saiyan groaned. There was nothing to do except look out at the stars.
...
Two more hours passed and Vegeta's eyes widened as he saw a big bright green planet come into view. Once again, the prince's scouter beeped.
"We're here", Nappa's voice said through Vegeta's scouter.
"Good", Vegeta replied. "Any longer and I would have lost it".
...On Planet Kantana...
The Saiyans were easily winning. The Kantans were frantically trying to fight them, but unlike the Saiyans, they couldn't fire ki blasts. They had to use machines to fire off the energy attacks. But the Saiyans had encased themselves in a giant energy bubble that repelled the Kantans' attacks effortlessly.
King Vegeta smirked and sent a wave of ki blasts, wiping out several Kantans. The soldiers laughed as four-year-old Prince Vegeta blasted a Kantan who had been stupid enough to let his guard down.
...
Several hours passed and the six Saiyans had completely erradicated every last Kantan on the planet.
"Why's Frieza want this dirtball planet anyway?" one of the three unamed soldiers asked.
"No idea", Nappa answered.
"It's a nice little rock, but it seems like it's pretty much useless", another of the three soldiers said.
"He wants the resources", King Vegeta explained. "There are somethings found on this planet that Frieza said he couldn't find anywhere else".
"So, he sent us because we're the only ones who can fight good, right?" Vegeta asked.
The soldiers laughed.
"Yep, you're your father's son all right", Nappa said.
...
After making sure that they had completely wiped out the Kantans, the Saiyans returned to their pods and headed back to Planet Vegeta.
...
"That mission was actually kinda boring, Daddy", Vegeta said as he and his father returned home.
"Really?" the Saiyan king asked.
"Yeah, they couldn't use energy attacks like us, they were weak", Vegeta answered.
"Well, it was your first mission", King Vegeta said.
"I know, but I hope my next one's against somebody with at least a halfway decent power level", the Saiyan prince replied and walked to his room.
