The Saiyan Way
"Gohan," I hear a voice calling me, is it daddy? That whole thing with the evil man, it was all a dream wasn't it! I feel myself smile, I knew it couldn't have been real! My smile get wide, then I hear what the voice is really saying, "Brat, hey, brat, wake up," I get confused, my daddy and mama wouldn't call me a brat. I open my eyes confused and see that evil man who killed my daddy, and another big buff bald man, he had a tail too.
"It's about time you woke!" The long haired one, that killed my daddy said. I couldn't help but scowl at him, wishing to see his blood, to cause him to bleed... but I know it's wrong. I think my body want his blood more than me.
"I'm Nappa," The big bald one said, "This is Raditz," He informed pointing to the killer.
"I am Prince Vegeta and you will direct me as so," The man with spiky black hair and a tail said, I finally notice him sitting in the back on a wooden chair.
"Where am I?" I question, ignoring there introduction.
"Planet Freeza 19, otherwise known as-" Vegeta was interrupted by Raditz.
"The Planet with beautiful women!" Raditz cheered giving a high five to Nappa. I just stare at them confused.
"That's what he calls it," Vegeta glares at Raditz, for interrupting him, I notice how Raditz shrinkS down as if apologizing, this guy must be strong, "But the name of the Planet before Freeza took it, was Planet Zartic,"
"Planet Zartic?" I question, "Where's Planet Earth?"
"Sorry kid, but planet earth is gone," Nappa informed.
"What?" I questioned, tears beginning to fill my eyes, I could feel my lip quivering.
"KABOOM!" Raditz yelled, shaping his hands as if a planet where being blown up. Nappa and Raditz laugh at me, as tears begin to fall down my face and I start to sniffle.
"Stop the tears boy," Vegeta instructed me, "I will not tolerate it, if you cry I will send you back to where your planet once was and let you die,"
I hold in my tears, "So, what are you gonna do to me?" I ask nervously, "Are you gonna torture be and beat me up, but never let me die," I sniffle tears and try to stop myself from bursting out. Then I see the three saiyans burst out in laughter, wiping tears from there eyes.
Nappa looked at me, still in fits of laughter, "That's funny kid!" He burst out. I glare at them angrily, I really don't appreciate being laughed at.
Vegeta returned to his composure rather quickly, and I figured he was a rather serious person, "Look kid, we didn't bring you here to make you suffer, I already have plenty of people for that," He smirked, I couldn't help but feel a shiver go down my spine, "No, we brought you here to help us on some missions that would go a lot smoother with a forth person,"
I shiver again and back away with a loud, scared, gulp, "What kinda missions?" I don't think I wanna know the answer.
"I guess you'll have to wait and see," Vegeta told me, "If anyone asks your Raditz's kid, understand,"
"No way!" I all but yelled, then I get a glare that REALLY makes me shiver, "I mean, no thank you, I don't like him," I state respectfully.
"Did I ask?" Vegeta questioned, I was about to answer but he answered for me, "Let me answer that, No, I stated a fact, understand child?"
I gulp and nod, "Fine."
Vegeta walked away at that, "Raditz, you take him, I got things to do, and make sure your both there ON TIME for training," He instructed, I guess he's the leader although he doesn't look very strong, he looks all scrawny and short, he does have a really mean glare though. If I say so myself that, Nappa person, looks like the strongest after all he is the biggest.
"What?" Raditz yelled, "I don't want to take him!"
"Your the one who brought em," Nappa said and left, "Have fun with the kid!"
"I had a date," Raditz whined and looked down at me angrily.
"Don't worry, I won't interfere," I told him glumly, "I'll just stay in the room you give me," I told him.
"You don't know what it is, grown ups like to do, do you?"
"Kiss?" I guessed, but he just sighed and walked off, "C'mon," He instructed and I hurried off, and stayed right behind him. I think my guess about what grown ups do was wrong, but then what else do grown ups do?
We went outside and there were absolutely no cars or any kind of transportation, everyone was just walking. I thought this place was advanced in technology, but they don't even have cars or buses or scooters to take you from place to place. Some people do have bikes though, so that's a start.
When we got to his place, it was all run down and messy, like he doesn't know how to clean up. He showed me where my room was, and told me to stay in there until dinner. I looked around my new room, and franc-ally, I like my old room better. I'd rather study five times as much, then be here right know. The room was all dusty, the blanket wasn't even a blanket, it was sheet, with with rips all over it, and the bed was just a thin blue mat on the floor, there was a small dusty alarm clock next to the mat. I went over to it, to see it it worked, and to my luck, it was broken. Then I found a screw on the floor and used it as a screw driver to take off the back of the alarm clock. I started to mess around with it. Before I knew it, I was done fixing the alarm clock and it worked good as knew.
"I'm really good at this!" I said happily to myself and noticed the window. Maybe I can escape from here! But... the windows to high, I'll never reach it. Then I look at the old cheap, broken dresser in the closet, 'perfect'. I jump to my feet and go to the dresser and push it with all my might out of the closet, then push it against the window. This should be able to hold my weight, since I'm so small. I silently thanked Kami for my size, I was still very careful and tested it by putting my foot on it. "Perfect," I whispered. I stepped onto the dresser and I could reach the window! Yes! I'm outta here! I look outside first, such a beautiful planet, why did it have to be taken over by these jerks.
I climb out the window and close my eyes, and let myself drop onto the grass outside. I'm glad I didn't take off my shoes, cause the grass is all wet and splashed when I jumped down. Then I start running, I don't stop, I don't get close to stopping, I run and run and run. Everything kinda black out at that moment for me. I just wasn't paying attention and before I knew it, I bumped into a tall man with light blue skin.
"Hey kid, where are you headed?" He asked kindly.
"Just running around," I stated, I didn't know if he was a friends of Vegeta, Raditz, or Nappa.
"Running around?" The man questioned, raising an eyebrow at me and for a minute I thought he was figuring out that I ran away, then he added, "Where's your parents? Are you an orphan?
"Yes sir, my daddy and mommy are dead," I admitted, looking down at my shoes, remembering seeing my daddy's cold lifeless face. It still haunts me, I shiver and let out a sad sigh.
"It's alright kid, come here, I'll take you to the orphanage," He informed me, putting a hand on my head and walking with me to the orphanage. He lead the way, and I followed, anything would be better than with those evil murderers, right? Plus, this man seems really nice! I can't wait to start my new life! I'll be really smart, just like mama wanted me to!
"This is it," The man informed me leading me into the large building and we walked in together, "I found another orphan," He informed the lady at the desk. He led me up to the desk and signed some information, "Your a saiyan, right?" He asked me, as he looked at my tail.
I look down at my tail, I think that was what Raditz told my daddy, "Yeah, I guess so, and Earthling," He merely nodded and went back to writing on the paper. This place looked really nice, it was very nicely decorated, there were nice pots of plants and the walls were all pretty and colorful.
"He's kinda young," I hear the girl say glumly looking at me, I guess she just feels bad that my parent died at such a young age.
"He's got to go somewhere," The man told her and she came and took my hand leading me to the elevator, there's other floors? This place looks like there's only one floor from the outside, how strange? When we go in, I see were going down not up, so I guess it's like an underground building? Oh, well, this place seems nice enough.
When the door stopped at a really low floor, I see that every thing's all gray down here and there's blood stains on the walls and all the little boys, even some of the girls are fighting, there's even guards lined up at each hallway. None of them are doing anything about the fighting though. What is this place? Is this really an orphanage? Why is this place so backwards? She leads me to one of the rooms, "This will be your room," She informed me. I only nod at her and walk in, "Here, you get a notebook and pencil and your uniform, this is your training uniform, this is your weekend uniform and your school uniform," She directed me, taking out all of the uniforms and showing me. I nod at her and walk in my room, I put my stuff down and start to put it all in my new little side table, dresser by my new bed. I have a really nice alarm clock too. I put my notebook and pencil and sharpener on the side table, dresser thing. Then I think about which uniform I need to put on today.
"Hm," I think to myself, let's see, when I went to see my daddy's friends, I feel my eyes getting wet just thinking about it, it was Saturday, so today must be Sunday. That means I need my weekend uniform. I pull it out and change into it. My weekend uniform was just a black shirt tucked into some black sweats. I brushed my hand into my hair and it was still all smooth from my mama brushing it yesterday, I'm glad I take after my dad and my hair doesn't need brushing that much. I feel my stomach growl, it must be about dinner time, I smirk at thought of Raditz going in the room and trying to get me, and discovering I'm gone.
"Well, I better go and see if it's time for dinner," I decide and walk out of my room, all the kids are gone from the hall, so... does that mean it's time to eat? I walk down the hall to the guard and he grabs me roughly by my shoulder, causing tears to leak from my eyes.
"Your late for dinner kid, your not supposed to be late in the mess hall," He threatened and pulled me over to the mess hall. Then the guard saw a really old man there, the guard immediately stood up straight and respectfully to him.
"I am here to introduce all of you to a new student," He informed.
"Young man, I am your Headmaster, and these are your guards and your fellow students, which I'm sure you'll make good friends with them all," He informed me politely. I blush nervously and smile to the students, I hear them snicker at me and I just blush more, "Everyone, this is Gohan, try to be nice to him and show him to his classes tomorrow," The headmaster said and bowed, then made his way.
"Since this is your first day, I'll still let you eat," The guard sneered and pushed me roughly to the food. I thought an orphanage was supposed to be a NICE place for kids without parents. I grab my food and walk around trying to find a place to sit, although every time I try to sit at one of the table's someone glares at me, or threatens me. I'm standing by a wall, "Now where do I sit?" I wonder, looking for a table I hadn't tried to sit at yet.
Then someone pulled me down, making me sit on the floor, and I look next to me, to see it was a young boy, bigger than me though, and next to him was a young girl, also older than me. They both had a light pink skin, the boy had short green hair, while the girl had long green hair. They wore the same as me, but the boy had red gloves and boots, and the girl had some steel butterfly earrings.
"Sit here, those kids are jerks anyway, you don't want to sit with them," He informed me, "Just sit here with us,"
"Oh, thank you, I'm Gohan," I said kindly, leaving my hand out in front of me.
"I'm Tilek," The boy informed shaking my hand, "This is my sister, Lilac," He introduced, she looked like she was to shy to do it herself, and she just waved. We all got back to our food and began eating. When we were leaving the mess hall, me and Tilek, live in the same hall, Lilac is in a different hall for girls.
"Tomorrow... can you... show me... where... the classes are?" I asked, shyly.
"Yeah sure, the alarm clock by your bed is already set, so don't mess with it," He instructed me and I nodded, "Where's your room? I'll come by and get you,"
"Right here," I said, pointing to the door right next to us, "Thank you,"
The boy nodded to me, as I went in my room, I laid down on the bed, this place isn't that bad is it...? Of course not! It's for children that lost there parents, of course it's not bad, the last thing we need is a bad place to stay. I argue with myself all night, until I fall asleep. Soon to be awaken by the alarm clock. I turn it off and get outta bed, and get dressed into my school uniform. "I wonder what I'll learn in my classes,"
"Knock, knock!" I hear Tilek's voice shouting from my door, "C'mon, let's get to class."
"Alright!" I called, and followed him out, I had on a black long sleeve spandex thing, and some gray armor over it, with some gray gloves and boots. Tilek had his red gloves and boots on still, though. We caught up with Lilac and walked with her to our first class. The classes were very different then back on Earth. At the beginning of each class, the teacher took me to the front and introduced me, told them that I'm half Saiyan and half Earthling. After the first class, everyone caught onto calling me half-breed, or two-breeds, or mutated-freak, or simply, mutation.
~Meanwhlie, with the full-Saiyans~
Vegeta looked at Raditz angrily, "WHERE DID YOU PUT THE KID?"
"I put him in his room..." Raditz said shortly, cowering down low.j
"ALONE!" Vegeta boomed angrily.
"He said he would stay put..." Raditz said, cowering down to his knees, looking up at Vegeta in fright.
"I DON'T KNOW WHATS MORE STUPID! THE KID THOUGHT HE COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS OR YOU BELIEVED HE WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE!" Vegeta screamed down at him.
"Why don't we just calm down, we'll figure it out," Nappa proposed.
"Nappa," Vegeta closed his eyes trying to keep calm with his teeth clenched tight, "WHY DON'T YOU GO STUFF YOUR FAT A** AND LET ME DEAL WITH THIS!"
"Sorry." Nappa appolagized, not wanting to get on anymore of the Prince's ad side.
Vegeta let out an exasperated sigh and rubbed his temples, "Do you know how pissed Freeza will be if we don't return with Kakarot OR his son?" Raditz gave a short cowardly nod, "He will rip us apart, literally! We need to postpone our meeting with him, until we can find the little brat, and until we find him," Vegeta looked to Raditz with an evil smirk, "You will be punished."
"H-how?" Raditz asked, cowardly moving to the corner.
Vegeta, Raditz and Nappa had all split up looking for the kid in the city. Raditz to his dismay had to wear lady's underwear and nothing else as he did it.
"It's starting to get cold to," Raditz pouted rubbing his arms trying to heat himself up.
