Arrival

Vegeta was the first to land on the mysterious blue planet. He knew he would seeing how he was the first one to have entered the space pod and blasted off from Planet Vegeta. Vegeta looked out of the spaceship and onto the new planet that they had landed on. Although he knew by his scouter reading that he and his people were the strongest on the planet, he was still wary.

This was his first planetary mission and he had a feeling that if things do not go well, that this would have to end as a purge. He suddenly fought a wave of adrenalin and excitement at the thought. He would finally be able to prove to his father that he can handle missions such as these.

Vegeta quickly typed in the password that would open his space pod. He had waited 2 months inside the pod in his cryogenical sleep. He felt groggy and disoriented after waking and was now itching to get out. He knew he had to wait until his father had landed and exited his space pod first.

He recalled how he had requested this mission. He was not yet of age for a Saiyan. He was only nine, but he did not want to wait to turn thirteen for his chance to go on a mission. He hated being smothered by the royal guards and his father, who believed duty and pride should come before a persons self interest. Vegeta rolled his eyes.

He too believed that, but after hearing it day in and day out he grew bored of the whole ordeal. He wanted to have a taste of adventure, he wanted to feel the adrenalin rush that he heard his fellow Saiyan warriors speak about. He recalled how Napa had come back from the battle with the Othilian empire. He had many battle stories to tell and Vegeta had yearned for the chance to deal real battle with real opponents.

Vegeta had snuck into the throne room during King Vegeta's meeting with Freiza. After Freiza had requested that King Vegeta went to a planet called Earth for a mission, Vegeta took his opportunity. He applied for the mission and his father agreed to take him on as a subordinate. He would not be able to discuss with the leader, but he would be able to watch his father negotiate with the ruler of this planet. And, if it came to a purge he would be able to participate…

He looked up from inside the space pod to see a large group of people forming around the crater that his space pod had made upon landing. Hmm, he wondered how all of them knew where to be, or in that matter how they knew that they were going to be arriving at all today, in this spot…

King Vegeta was obviously weary. He knew that this was an important meeting but he hated leaving his kingdom for such a long time. Freiza had sent him on this mission of diplomacy and was aware of the Kings hesitancy to leave his throne. He knew that Freiza was up to something, but the Icejin was very cunning. All that King Vegeta could do was Freiza's bidding… for now. Once he knew of Freiza's plans, he and his men would be sure to kill him.

He heard of the stories that where whispered across the galaxy, Freiza strength and ruthlessness. He knew though, that one day his people will be out of the bastards clutches and King Vegeta would be there to laugh at the downfall of the powerful tyrant.

He knew that he though was not strong enough to kill Freiza just yet, but his son Prince Vegeta had shown remarkable skills in a young age. King Vegeta grimaced, his son may be powerful but he was also arrogant. His abilities had only swollen his royal head. When he found that Vegeta had trounced his obligations, the King made sure to take things into his own hands.

King Vegeta was adamant about Vegeta learning the ways of a Saiyan before heading into missions. He knew his son was powerful… maybe more so then he himself. He smiled at the thought. He was proud of Vegeta, although he would never admit it, but he was also uncertain about the little Princes' future…

The town square was bustling with activity. The inhabitants had prepared for the arrival of the aliens beforehand. The city was a sea of colors and decorations but Bulma ignored all this as she rushed through the busy town square to where the aliens had landed. She was not supposed to leave the safety of the palace, but she was not going to start obeying rules know.

She was steadily growing impatient at the adults who seemed to be swarming around the pod. There was a small pod already in a deep crater and she could see four more headed to the Earth. She pushed her way through the throng of people who were yelling at her for being rude. Humph .. If only they knew who she was.

"Chichi I see the space pods!!… Chichi?" Bulma scanned the area to find Chichi. Of course, Chichi was talking to a fruit vendor and didn't hear a word she had said. She marched to her. "Chichi" she said in an exasperated tone "what are you doing talking to this man when we are going to see some aliens?"

Chichi looked at the vendor, a short middle aged man with a tuft of gray hair on his head and a crooked smile on his face. "Well.." Chichi started " I was looking around to see what I can give the aliens as a present. You know as a welcome gift, seeing as were princesses and that is our royal duty you know. Well anyway, while I was looking this nice man told me that a piece of fruit would be perfect. I think you should get them something too Bulma, its polite. "

The vendor toothless smile grew even wider at the prospect of making a nice sale, but Bulma was quick to end his excitement. "No thanks Chichi, anyways come on were going to be late if you don't get a move on."

Bulma was so excited. She didn't believe Baba at first, but she couldn't deny that the old witch seemed to tell truth. Her mind was whirring with the possibilities. If these things were aliens they should be smart, and by the looks of the space pods they were sure to have some amazing technology. She vaguely wondered if her father would let her look at them and dismantle them.

BOOM -BOOM- BOOM-BOOM

The remaining four pods crashed to the Earth with such force that Chichi, Bulma and the other nearby spectators were blown off their feet. Bulma got back on her feet unsteadily and then helped Chichi up who had landed on her but and was now rubbing the sore area.

Bulma was amazed at what she saw… there was now a total of five pods and the pod to the largest one seemed to be opening…
