Three weeks later..
Four spacepods enter the system that contains planet Frieza no 1. The saiyans Nappa, Raditz and Vegeta awake from the hyper sleep. Raditz immediately checks Kakarot, as he doesn't want the farce from a couple of months ago to repeat itself." Kakarot, are you there this time?" Raditz said. " Yeahh I'm here" Kakarot said on a dull tone." Great, you did it right this time" Raditz smiled. " No I didn't" Kakarot said annoyed. " What?" Raditz said with an elevated eyebrow. " I'm awake for 5 five hours, I set the alert too soon.. bored the hell out of me in those five hours" Kakarot said. " Haha little Kakarot, you didn't need to rise early for school" Nappa mocked the young saiyan once again. By this time Kakarot already got used to the saiyan giant and his mocking. " Good morning to you too, flower girl" Kakarot mocked back. Nappa grinned. " Lord Vegeta, are you there?" Raditz carefully said to Vegeta via intercom. Inside the prince's spacepod, the warrior prince sat with his arms crossed and his eyes closed." Yes, I am" he calmly said. " The prince is quiet" Kakarot said but not after he checked the connection with Vegeta 's pod was turned off. " He always is when we return to Frieza" Nappa said. " Destination reached, arrival in 2 minutes" Vegeta's onboard voice said. " We land at bay 0-21, got it Kakarot?" Vegeta said. " Yes Raditz already showed me how to land" Kakarot quickly said. " God, I've been longing for a decent drink.. Good thing one of the finest bars is on this planet" Nappa told himself. It went quiet when to pods were about to land.
Meanwhile in the control tower..
" We have incoming space-pods. Counting four in total" one of the many grunts controlling the air traffic yelled at the chief. " Who are they?" the chief, who was standing with his arms behind his back, said while staring at the incoming pods. " The signal decodes that of Prince Vegeta" the soldier replied. " Ahh the saiyan prince returning from his mission with Nappa and Raditz" the commander said in relief. " Wait, that's three saiyans.. who is the fourth pod then?" a second grunt said. "Maybe some prisoner?" yet another asked. " Give them a place in bay 0-21,NOW!" the commander brutishly yelled. " prepare for the arrival of Vegeta and his henchmen" the commander prompted his second In command. " As for me I'll report the return of the prince to Lord Frieza" he continued. It sure was chaos in the control tower..
The pods landed with the usual impact on the specially designed platform cushions. A small platoon of soldiers rushed to the scene and quickly sorted themselves into formation. The four doors opened. Vegeta got out first, followed by Nappa and after him Raditz and his brother got out. The leading officer stepped forward, bowed slightly before Vegeta and said:" Welcome back Prince Vegeta". Vegeta's only answer was a loud grunt. " Where is Frieza?" The said Prince asked. " Lord Frieza recently arrived back here after a little skirmish in the Obsidian-sector" the officer humbly answered. While Vegeta was talking with the officer, Kakarot was inspecting the soldiers. He walked by them and stopped before one of them. They were all sweaty of fear." Look Raditz! Toy soldiers!" Kakarot yelled over to Raditz, who was standing next to Nappa. Raditz looked at Kakarot and subtly laughed. The young saiyan tapped on the soldier's armor. " Knock knock" Kakarot said. "W-W-Who's there" the soldiers stuttered." You" Kakarot said. " Uhh.. You who?" The soldier replied. " You frickin' pansy" Kakarot laughed amused. The grunt next to the one who was being questioned tried to contain his laugh. Kakarot looked at him, paralyzing the grunt. " What are you laughing at?" Kakarot said with an angry voice. The saiyan walked over to him. " You think you're a tough one?" Kakarot raged at the reptilian soldier, who was trembling in fear " Well do you?". " N-No sir" the answer was. " Good, I've killed people for less" Kakarot laughed and gave the grunt a pat on the shoulder. " Kakarot, stop nagging the houseplants" Raditz joked. " With enough love and affection, they'll grow big" Nappa joined the mocking. " I didn't know Frieza gave you that much affection" Kakarot smirked. " Grr.." was Nappa's only answer. " When you weaklings are finished, can we move on? NOW?" Vegeta said with his characteristic strong commanding voice. The three saiyans quickly piped down and followed the prince. They walked through a seemingly endless maze of high tech corridors. " Frieza's throne room should be this way" Nappa said. " Wait, we can't let Kakarot go in like that?" Raditz said. " And why is that?" Nappa asked. " He's not properly dressed in combat armor". " You have a point, he does look like Tarzan" Nappa laughed. " Don't mock my clothes! They are my tokens of the great battle with Garlic Jr.!" Kakarot said with elevated voice. " If you could beat him silly Kakarot, everyone could" Nappa said. Before it could escalate again, Vegeta said:" Fine, take your brother to the armory, but be quick about it!" Vegeta said. After a short walk they arrive at the armory. Raditz looks around in the armor-modules. " What's taking so long?" an agitated Kakarot said. " Have patience, it looks like all the armors are taken" Raditz replied. After a long search, Raditz found one remaining suit of armor. It was still in good condition, in fact it was never used before. " Here,I found one" Raditz yelled over to Kakarot. The long haired saiyan freed the armor form the iron pins holding it in position. " It's an armor type usually given to low ranking Frieza soldiers from an amphibian of reptilian race, hence it is blue" Raditz explained. Kakarot didn't like the idea: " Oh for god's sake, I'll look like a frickin' Kodiashian!". Raditz laughed and threw to the armor to Kakarot. " Here get dressed you slimy toad haha" he continued, enjoying the sweet moment. The saiyan wasn't really pleased with it, but he took it and dressed himself. He took the suit in his hands, wondering how to put the small armor on. " Hey bro, how do I put this thing on anyways?" Kakarot asked on an agitated way. " Hehe, just put them on, it's made of a stretchy material" Raditz said," Good thing too, otherwise our armors would break when we transform". After a couple of minutes, Kakarot was fully dressed in combat gear. It looked good on him, with the armor as black as his heart. " Great, you really look like father now" Raditz said with a smile. Kakarot smirked back for a moment, but quickly looked serious again. " Now let's join up with Nappa and Vegeta" Raditz said. They left the armory..
Meanwhile..
In the throne room, a small person was sitting in a giant flying seat. He wore a combat armor just like the rest of the base, but it was dyed purple instead of black or blue. The creature had a peculiar look as well: small black horns and a purple gem-like thing on his head. He was looking outside, seemed to be sunken into his thoughts. The small creature was no one other than Frieza, the intergalactic tyrant. Frieza was kind of daydreaming, no doubt thinking which solar system he would conquer next. As of a sudden, the commander from the landing tower entered the throne room. He went down on his knees and spoke:" Lord Frieza, I'm humbled to greet you". Frieza's flying chair slowly turned around. Then, his voice echoed through the hall:" What is it?". " Prince Vegeta and his two soldiers have returned my lord" the commander reported. " Excellent, you may leave now" Frieza said in a cold way. " Uhh.. lord Frieza.. there is something else" the commander mumbled. Frieza gave the guy a sharp look. " Speak up" the tyrant said. "P-prince Vegeta didn't return alone with his two henchmen, h-he had a fourth man with him" the commander said with a clear fear in his voice. " A fourth?" Frieza said. " Yes.. I think he's a saiyan, because he had a tail" the commander said. Frieza's eyes widened. " A saiyan? How is that possible?" Frieza said with a raised voice. The door to the throne room opened again. This time a long and elegant man entered. He had greenish hair and blue skin. He was also wearing a combat suit, but with a cape. " A saiyan?" the man said in the same confused voice as Frieza. " How good of you to join us Zarbon" Frieza said. Zarbon walked over to Frieza and stood next to him. " Tell me Zarbon, where did this saiyan come from?" Frieza asked Zarbon. " I've got no idea. I thought your highness had killed the saiyans when you blew up their planet and then after Dodoria and his men destroyed all those who where on other planets" Zarbon said confused." I thought I only spared Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz. Shoot where did this saiyan come from?" Frieza wondered. " They are coming to bring out their report lord Frieza, perhaps you can ask it?" The commander said. " How wonderful" Frieza said and took his scouter off. From out of nowhere he shot a laser like attack from his eyes at the commander, which vaporized the man. A scorch mark was all that was left of the soldier. Frieza put his scouter back on… Kakarot and Raditz met up with the other two again. Nappa already giggled when he saw Kakarot in the distance. " Hehehe look Vegeta, little Kakarot's a toad" an amused Nappa said. For the first time, Vegeta smirked as well, but said nothing. " Okay here we are" Raditz said. " Fine" was Vegeta's only answer. The four saiyans walked to the throne room with Vegeta and Nappa ahead. They entered the throne room.
Frieza and Zarbon watched them enter the room. When they stood before lord Frieza the three saiyans bowed down, sitting on one knee. Kakarot however didn't bow, he just stood there. Frieza and Zarbon where speechless. " Get the hell down you fool" Nappa whispered to Kakarot. " Why should I?" Kakarot said. " Get your ass down , NOW!" Vegeta yelled at Kakarot. When the prince yelled at the saiyan, he finally got on his knees. " Greetings Lord Frieza. We have returned from our mission on planet Chromos and Kodiasha. The natives where annihilated, the planets are your to command" Vegeta said. " I see, good work Vegeta" Frieza said with delight. " It's an honor to serve you master Frieza" Vegeta said. In his heart however he hated saying that. His biggest desire was to one day overthrow Frieza and rule the universe himself! " Good, you and your men can rest a few days as a reward" Frieza said. " Now.. Who is this Vegeta?" Frieza asked. " Allow me to leave the word to Raditz" Vegeta said. " Permitted" Frieza replied. Raditz stood up. " Greetings master Frieza. This is my younger brother Kakarot, he is at your service" Raditz said," He was send to planet Earth on the far edge of the universe. He destroyed the planet's inhabitants and I picked him up thereafter". Frieza hovered to little forward. " Kakarot.. Come closer" Frieza ordered the young saiyan. Kakarot got up and walked over to Frieza. Everyone in the room watched the scene anxiously. Kakarot stood before Frieza. " So Kakarot, was Earth difficult to conquer?" Frieza asked him." It had some strong fighters, but I won outright" Kakarot said." I see, Welcome to the planet trade organization. We don't have a lot of saiyans these days" Frieza said. " Yes so I've heard .. too bad" Kakarot played along. Frieza smiled. " You really remind me of someone, It's like I've seen you before" Frieza thought out loud. " Yes lord Frieza, he looks just like that saiyan Bardock" Zarbon said. " Ah yes now I remember, I've..uhh.. seen.. him before" Frieza said," You are his offspring right? You really look alike". Kakarot smiled:" I am, never met the guy and I don't care too much about him" . " I like you Kakarot, now I wonder.. will you serve me?" Frieza asked. Kakarot bowed down. " As long as I live, I'll fight for your honor" Kakarot said with dignity. Frieza seemed pleased. " Great, serve me well and you will live well" Frieza said," You can rest up now, leave us now Vegeta". " Yes master Frieza" Vegeta said and the three other saiyans got up. Kakarot turned his back to Frieza, but before he did, he gave the tyrant a quick mad look. Then he walked down to the other saiyans. As he walked past Vegeta, the prince said to him:" Goddammit Kakarot, you almost got us killed". Kakarot stopped for a moment and said:" At least I'm not shivering before him". Kakarot turned around and left. Vegeta stood there for a moment, astounded. Then he and the other two saiyans left the throne room.
"That saiyan is going to be a problem…" Frieza thought to himself as he saw the saiyans walk out of the throne room.
