"King Vegeta, Sir", a female doctor dared say. "Why have you asked us to come here?"
"Teran, be quiet", Malaka ordered her. He knew King Vegeta had ordered all of the doctors and assistants there because he knew one of them had revealed the secret to Frieza about young Vegeta still being alive.
Malaka knew that too, and he was as angry as the Saiyan king was. Both knew it was one of the doctors or one of the assistants, but the question remained unanswered. Who had tipped off Frieza? Who had betrayed King Vegeta, his son, and his or her own fellow doctors and assistants?
"I have called you all here for one reason and one reason only", King Vegeta started. "And that's to find out who is the traitor".
"Traitor, Sir?" Teran asked, running a hand through her long, dark blue hair. Teran had long, dark blue hair, bright green eyes and golden skin.
"Yes, Teran", King Vegeta answered. "Someone told Frieza that my son is still alive, even after I gave all of you specific orders that you were not to tell Frieza or any of his soldiers. Whoever told Frieza that my son is still alive, is a traitor. They have betrayed me, they have betrayed my son, and they have betrayed you. And such an act is not going to go unnoticed".
Several doctors began murmuring. Who was the person who had so foolishly betrayed the King and Prince of the Saiyans?
"Wait a minute", King Vegeta growled. "Where's Karanos?"
Everyone looked around, but no one could find the missing doctor.
"Wait!" a voice piped up.
Everyone turned to see a girl with waist-length jet-black hair, hot-pink skin, and electric-blue eyes.
"Karanos resigned yesterday!" the girl said. "I was his assistant before he resigned".
"He resigned?" Malaka asked.
The girl nodded.
"What's your name, Girl?" King Vegeta asked her.
"Yadō, Sire", the girl answered.
"Well, Yadō, do you have any idea where he ran off to?" Malaka questioned.
"He went to work for Frieza, Sire", Yadō answered.
"He what?" King Vegeta shouted.
Yadō wanted to step back, but she continued informing the Saiyan king.
"I also suspect he may have told Frieza that the prince survived", she said. "He often confided to me that he didn't like working here and would gladly trade his position here for one on Frieza's ship".
"That traitor!" King Vegeta roared. "I'll rip that kisama apart!"
...
"I don't understand something", Teran said to Yadō.
"What don't you understand, Teran?" Yadō asked her fellow assistant.
"Why would you betray Karanos?" Teran asked. "You were his assistant. So why would you betray him?"
"Because, he betrayed King Vegeta", Yadō answered. "Now the prince will pay for Karanos' mistake".
"As will Karanos", Teran added.
Yadō nodded.
"It serves him right", the girl said bitterly.
"What do you mean, Yadō?" Teran questioned.
Yadō pulled her hair back and showed a long, pink scar that stretched from under her right earlobe to the base of her neck.
Teran gasped.
"What happened?" she asked the younger girl.
"Karanos cut me a few weeks ago when I told him I was worried for Prince Vegeta", Yadō answered.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Teran asked.
"He threatened to kill me if I said a word to anyone, and I was afraid", Yadō explained. "But then, he talked about betraying King Vegeta and Prince Vegeta to Frieza and I knew I couldn't remain silent".
...
Five-year-old Vegeta sat on the floor of his bedroom, looking out the window. Saiyans pods flew by occasionally. Vegeta wondered how long it would be before he got another mission. But then, he remembered he couldn't get another mission unless he trained first, and he still hadn't been cleared to train.
Suddenly, the door to the prince's bedroom opened.
Vegeta turned to see his father standing in the doorway.
"What's going on, Daddy?" the small Saiyan asked his father. Secretly, Vegeta hoped his father was going to tell him that he could train again.
"Vegeta, there's something I've been meaning to tell for sometime now", his father answered.
Vegeta stared up at his father, wondering what he was gonna say.
"A few months ago, Frieza said he wanted you to train as a soldier for a year on his ship", King Vegeta said. "Just for one year and then you could come back".
"No!" Vegeta screamed. "I don't wanna go on Frieza's ship! Zarbon'll hurt me again! Daddy, please don't make me go!"
"Vegeta, it's only for a year", King Vegeta told his son, not adding the fact that the prince would be more like a slave rather than a soldier. "After a year passes, you can come back home".
"But I don't wanna go!" Vegeta yelped.
"Vegeta, you're the prince of the Saiyans, you have to show Frieza that you're not weak", his father cut him off.
"I'm not weak!" Vegeta said.
"You have to prove that to Frieza", King Vegeta replied.
Vegeta wiped his eyes and suddenly, his fear was replaced by rage. How dare Frieza say he was weak? Well, Vegeta would show that stupid, gender-confused lizard just how strong he really was.
