Chapter One: An Unlikely Alliance

Seven years have passed since the fall of the great Saiyan planet, Vegeta. Not many survived as most of the warriors were still present on the planet before it's destruction. It's king also said to be one of those whom had fallen. According to the tyrant that ruled over the once proud Saiyan race said that an asteroid was the source and cause of the fall of Vegeta, some thought otherwise against it. Believing that Frieza, himself, was the one responsible for the destruction. Stories were told. Some true, some false. Whatever the real story was, surviving warriors intended to discover the truth. Even if it meant they'd die trying.

Unknown planet: East Quadrant

I was told my home planet was destroyed the day I was born. That no one survived except for Prince Vegeta, his attendant Nappa, my brother Raditz,… and myself. For we were the only saiyans off the planet during it's destruction. I never once questioned that story, until now that is. Frieza said Vegeta met with an unfortunate accident when an asteroid collided with the planet's surface. No one able to detect. Just hit by surprise. As strange as that surrounded I never bothered with any further details. Just listened, nodded, and obeyed. Never giving it much thought. Now that I grew, many questions fill my mind. Like how was it remotely possible that no one detected such an event? Why didn't Frieza try and stop it before it touched down on the planet? Or was it all just a lie and the so-called accident was really intentional?

Six year old Kakarot stood on what used to be a battlefield that took place only moments ago. Bodies of the planet's former inhabitants laying sprawled on the ground as purple colored blood gushed out of open wounds. Filling the floor that made it seem like the dirt didn't exist at all. Ruins of what used to be high stoned buildings now reduced down to nothing. A massacre created by the very child himself that now stood victorious dead-center of it all. A saiyan of incredible abilities and skills. Kakarot, a low level ranked soldier. Garbed in the traditional saiyan battle armor that showed his rank. White with golden-yellow straps resting on either sides of his shoulders. Black loose fitting pants with his tail moving around freely behind him. Boots that matched the color of his armor and black wristbands.

He stood motionless and quiet. His young face expressionless as he looked around at the now deserted part of the planet. No survivors. His scouter activates as it began to scan the area once more for any signs of life that he might've missed sometime ago. Light green numbers and symbols flashed rapidly on the green shaded screen. Searching, detecting. After a full five seconds passed the scouter indicated with a light sounded beep that no energy levels detected. His mission was now complete. All life was annihilated. A cool breeze passed easily heard as silence was the only thing that now filled the air. Though only a few moments ago it was filled with loud cries of pain, screams of agony and fear, running soldiers as they fought against him and tried to kill him. Though their efforts of course in vain for he had a power level far greater than their own. This was such a weak planet. He didn't quite understand why the circumstances occurred that Frieza wanted him to annihilate such a calm-natured planet. They didn't seem to serve any purpose. Their power-levels weak. Such a poor excuse of inhabitants. He was wasting his time here.

Kakarot continued to stand completely still for a few more seconds. One last check of his handiwork then turned around slowly and began to walk. His space pod was around here somewhere. Pulling out a small remote like control from his pocket he begins to push in a code. Seconds passed then his spaceship appeared. Descending down to his current location. His mission complete he saw no other reason to remain much longer than necessary. He had to move on. He had four more planets to purge by the end of the day. So he had better get a move on. Making his way closer to his ship the door hissed then opened. As he began to take one step inside his scouter begins to beep. An incoming message it appeared. Now? He wondered why?

Pressing the small rectangular button situated on his scouter he answered. "What.," he replied. A hint of annoyed attitude in his tone.

"Kakarot," replied a male voice through the scouter. One Kakarot knew very well. An elite that helped steer the lizard- freaks ship. Usually he was the one whom made calls to him. He wondered why now? "A message from Lord Frieza, sir. He demands that you rendezvous with his ship immediately."

"What? Now? What for?," Kakarot asked. Though he knew when it came to the tyrant it wasn't so wise to question one of his orders. But he didn't quite understand. Why would Frieza call to him. He rarely ever bothered with him. Being such a low rank and all.

"I still have four more planets to purge. I can't afford to fall behind now."

"Your mission will have to be put on hold for now sir. Lord Frieza doesn't like to wait. So meet up here ASAP." With that said the scouter com shut off as the elite disconnected with him.

Kakarot was once again left in silence. On his own. Gripping his right fist tightly at his side his onyx black eyes narrowed. Sometimes he felt like he was nothing more but a puppet to that tyrant. Obeying orders being one only purpose for existence. Either obey the monster or die by his hand. His choice. So far none of his options seemed like such a wise choice for either way he'd end up just the same. Dead in a pool of his blood as Frieza was known to not fight fair or even show any signs of mercy when dealing with an enemy. Especially a saiyan.

Letting his opposite arm fall to his side. The one he had used to answer the scouter, Kakarot let out a frustrated sigh then continued to make his way inside his space pod. After taking his seat on the soft, brown cushion surface, the space pod's door sealed shut. The little chibi begins to type in commands on the main computer system then the ship takes flight. Launching itself to it's destination.

I guess I have no other choice but to do what the bastard wants, thought Kakarot to himself as he let his back rest against the seat then crossed his small arms over his chest. His head falls back soon followed with closing his eyes. It shouldn't take very long to arrive back on Frieza's ship. It was only a matter of hours or so.

Reopening his onyx black eyes once again he begins to let them wander over towards the only window that occupied the ship. He saw nothing like always. Just dark space and white, sparkling stars that seemed to dance about in the black covering of space. It was times like this he enjoyed being as far away from the tyrant as possible. He felt more at ease. Though fighting was in his blood and his nature, it never hurt to actually sit back and relax. Enjoying the time before the cries of agony and screaming took place. The fighting and so on. Everything just peaceful. It wouldn't last as he knew for whatever reason Frieza called for him. Surely it was for another assignment. Only question was truly why? He never called for him for anything? So why now? What had he done? Or has Frieza finally snapped and wanted him dead? For whatever reason he'd find out as soon as he reached the ship. It was only a matter of time.

Frieza's Spaceship

Twelve year old Prince Vegeta slowly made his way through a long narrow hallway. Some of Frieza's elites filling the hall as they stood post on opposite sides of the white colored, metal walls. Their eyes seeming to be watching him as he made his way passed them. He ignored the angry stares and what he could hear somewhat rude verbal remarks as he knew they always had hatred towards him. Regardless of his rank amongst the Saiyan race. To them he was nothing more but a monkey. Another one of Frieza's puppets. He ignored them and continued walking towards his destination.

He had received a message in his scouter from one of Frieza's elites. That the tyrant wanted to speak to him about his next assignment. Not much information was given at the moment for all he said was to meet Frieza at the Captain's deck. Nothing else. He hated being left out of so many things before actually receiving orders. But then again he didn't like talking to the monster either. He just wished Frieza would just give him orders from where he was and then just take off. Leaving this retched spaceship for a good long while. Be one his own or at least accompanied by his attendant Nappa and that low level Raditz whom he had become accustomed to having along. They were all that was left of their race. Only survivors. Well of course excluding the low level's brother, Kakarot. He rarely saw the brat which he didn't mind at all. It wasn't like he was on good terms with the little runt anyway. He found him annoying. A nuisance and just someone who would get in the way of things. Good thing he wasn't assignment on his team. He had enough third ranked soldiers as it was. He didn't need anymore.

After a good few minutes had passed Vegeta reached his destination. A silver metal door situated in front of him. He waited before he headed inside. Was he hesitating? No he wasn't. Just a minor reflex he guessed from his many years in battle. He inhaled a short amount of air then exhaled. He took a step forward and the door automatically slid open revealing the inside. The room was filled with many soldiers whom helped to control the spaceship. Computer screens, and control panels situated all over the place. Frieza nowhere in sight. He wondered where the bastard was. He sure Dodoria and Zarbon were with him. For the tyrant never seemed to be anywhere alone. Which made it even more difficult to even confront him about the events that took place almost seven years ago when Vegeta was destroyed. An accident, yeah right. He wasn't that dense.

Vegeta made his way inside and walked passed the elites. Looking around to see where he would find Frieza, Dodoria, and Zarbon. No second later did he spot them. Frieza standing in front of a large glass window that oversaw the dark skies of space. His henchmen standing on either side of him. Dodoria to his right and Zarbon to the left. He neared them. As soon as he was only two feet away he bowed. They were already aware of his presence so there was no point in making himself known. He felt ridiculous doing this for Frieza should be the one on one knee to him. For he was the Prince of all Saiyans. But now reduced down to nothing more than a slave.

"Sire I am here," said the young twelve year old as he stood straight up to regain his posture. He had to remain calm for the bastard could easily sense fear in him. He had to remain strong. Regardless of how much he did have somewhat fear towards the monster.

Meanwhile, outside the walls of the spaceship, a space pod makes it's way towards the ship at high speeds. Nearing and preparing it's descent as it prepared to land. The elites that were left in charge of such duties were also preparing for the space pods landing.

"We've got another one coming!," shouted one of the elites that stood at the controls that activated the hatch. Typing in commands on the panel situated in front of him. The large, steel door that rested on the ceiling begins to hiss as it slowly opened. "Space pod landing in five… four… three… two!" As the last number is said in silence the ship slips inside and crash lands on a large, soft, circular surface. Used to keep the space pods from damaging themselves from harsh landings.

"That's Kakarot's space pod. Wow first Prince Vegeta now this one. Those two are never here at the same exact time. I wonder why?," asked one of the elites as he neared the little saiyan's ship. Which remained closed.

"From what I hear Lord Frieza called for them both. That's strange even with that," replied another elite that accompanied him. "I wonder what's going to happen. Those two aren't exactly on such good terms with one another."

"Well we better prepare for anything."

The space pod's door begins to open slowly revealing the little saiyan child Kakarot. The ride here didn't take as long as he hoped for. Apparently Frieza's spaceship wasn't so far from his former position after all. That sucked for him. Well he better get this little visit over with already for the sooner he does the sooner he would be out of here. Back out on his own.

Elites stood not to far in front of him as Kakarot jumped off and out of his space pod. Walking passed the small group that surrounded him the little chibi just made his way towards the exit. The remaining soldiers working on his ship as they prepared to take it to the lower floor to be kept until he would use it again. Kakarot neared the exit door and it automatically slid open and he walked out into a long hallway. Soldiers made their way passed him as some came and go. Each passing him and ignoring him. Almost as if he wasn't even there. It didn't matter. Not like he cared who they were either. Now to make his way to the Captain's deck on the upper level. He knew that's where he'd find Frieza. Better get this over with already. He continued his walk.

Then another thought crossed his mind all of a sudden. He wondered if his nii-san was here as well. He hasn't seen or even heard from Raditz in months. The last he had seen him was on his six birthday. And that was only more like a hello and goodbye for they were both preparing to take off on separate missions. He rarely saw his older brother. They were never assigned to the same assignment so he got to spend no time with him. But then again, not like Raditz even ever gave him the time of day to even get to know him.

They were almost complete strangers to one another. Never talked. Not like he considered their typical hey even close to communicating. Raditz was just another soldier to him. Though blood but acted nothing like brothers. He even wondered if Raditz even ever consider him his brother. He almost seemed to ignore him most of the time. Just because he ranked up higher than him didn't precisely mean he had to drop him as his baby brother. Kakarot thought maybe Raditz has always been this way. Regretting to even have him around.

With Vegeta…

"I heard your last mission was a success," spoke up the tyrant. His back remained facing against him. Not at all even turning or taking a glimpse at him as he said his words. "That doesn't surprise me. I expected nothing less from you Prince."

Vegeta remained quiet. Though he was surprised that Frieza addressed him by his title. One of the few that still did besides calling him by his birth name.

"Now that isn't exactly the reason why I called for you here today. For you see, I have another assignment for you to do."

I knew it. Why doesn't that surprise me, thought the prince to himself. If that's all he wanted he could've just told me through my scouter instead of making me come all the way over here. Wasting time.

Frieza slowly shifted his gaze over his left shoulder towards the small chibi saiyans that stood only mere feet away from him. Though Vegeta was twelve his height wasn't exactly matching his age. Compared to the low level runt who's life he spared seven years ago, Vegeta was maybe a head taller than him but nothing more.

"I want you to head to the North Quadrant. I heard there's some planets there that would bring a high profit to us as soon as their inhabitants are wiped out. Technology that will become of some use."

North quadrant? But that's far off from where we are now. It could take some time to even arrive there. What's he planning? Vegeta's thoughts began to fill with questions. Why would Frieza send him so far away? Was he trying to get rid of him? If so he wouldn't mind that at all. The less time he saw the freak the better. He guessed either Raditz or more than likely Nappa would be called to accompany him on this mission.

Almost as if Frieza read his every thought. "Now usually Nappa or Raditz would join you on such assignments but this time will be different," he pauses then continues. "I have those two on another assignment elsewhere so they will not be joining you."

I guess I'm flying solo this time once again.

Frieza turns fully around to face the little saiyan preteen. "I have taken it upon myself to assign you a temporary new partner for this task."

"What?!," he said in confusion. He better not have assigned one of his lame elites to accompany me on this task. It'll be an insult towards me and my pride. Plus his soldiers are weak compared to me.

"His skills and abilities match exactly your own. Rivaled being a better word for it. He should make a perfect teammate for you. He should be arriving here any time now."

What? Someone who actually comes close to me. That's absurd. There is no one here in this ship who even comes close to my power. Who's he talking about? So many questions. He was confused. What was Frieza up to this time? He was more than capable of taking care of himself. He didn't need a partner. With or without Nappa and Raditz he was strong to wipeout anyone who dared to get near him. Especially if the planet's inhabitants were weak. He didn't need someone to slow him down or get in the way.

Just then the automatic door is heard as it slid open. An elite walked in. Saluting Frieza as he stood a short distance away from him. "Lord Frieza, sir, he is here. Shall I permit him inside?," he asked.

Frieza merely nodded then smirked. This was the most entertaining thing he will see today. For once the two boys met watching them argue was going to be pure entertainment. For he knew how much Prince Vegeta despised the other.

The elite signaled behind himself to someone who apparently had came with him. The figure stepped inside. Vegeta couldn't tell whom it was even as he looked over his left shoulder.

"Prince I want you to meet your new partner," said Frieza. The smirk still plastered on his face. "… Kakarot."

Kakarot followed the elite inside the Captain's deck. Then he heard his name being called out. He neared as the elite who lead him in walked away and out the exit. He stopped a few feet away from the tyrant. He stared at the monster with hatred clear in his eyes but used every ounce of strength he had to hide it. Regardless of how he felt towards the bastard he didn't want it to precisely show through. He did want to live after all.

"Kakarot how nice of you to finally join us," spoke up Frieza once again.

Us?, thought Kakarot in confusion. Who's us? Glancing over towards his right he came into eye contact with none other than the Prince himself, Vegeta. Or former Prince to be exact as the planet that he was supposed to rule over no longer existed.

The Prince gave him a hard, angry stare. Almost as if he really hated him for something. That was odd for him. He mostly never even came into contact with the guy. So why so angry towards him? Man that kid has issues. To show that he wasn't intimated, Kakarot shot the Prince the same exact stare. Letting him know he wasn't at all afraid of the guy what so ever. Regardless if he was older than him.

"I see you two are already getting acquainted. That's good. For you two will be assigned to this mission as partners."

"What?!," the two boys said in unison.

"Is this some sort of ridicule joke? Are you trying to insult me? You can't possibly expect me to work with this little low level runt," said Vegeta in anger. Though fighting against it since he didn't want to be pummeled into the ground by either Zarbon nor Dodoria. "He's a disgrace, a weakling. He doesn't even compare close to my power." With that said he crosses his arms over his chest. A habit he grew into doing.

"Hey I'm no weakling!," shot back Kakarot as he had heard enough. Turning fully around until he was facing the Prince. His fists clenched tightly at his sides as he held them up. Eyes narrowed angrily.

"Yeah you are," said Vegeta. "You're a low level. A Third class ranked soldier. Meaning you will amount to nothing. Always. Nothing more."

"You take that back!"

"Make me." By now both boys were facing each other almost ready to beat each other into the ground.

"Alright boys that's more than enough. Stop this now!," said Frieza aloud. Annoyance clear in his voice. The sooner he got these two out of here the better. "You two will team up for this assignment whether either of you like it or not. You understand."

Vegeta and Kakarot said nothing as their eyes never broke away from one another. Their stare-down continued but heard the tyrant's words none the less and nodded to indicate their answers. After a full three seconds passed they broke eye contact and looked towards Frieza to finish hearing what he had to say. Once out of here their bout will surely continue.

"Alright then. You two will leave here immediately. I have already called for them to prepare your space pods for departure. The ride there will take about a year or so depending if there isn't any interruptions. You know your mission. Wipe out every planet's inhabitants then report your success back to me. I will send a team of elites to finish the rest. You two will continue until all of the North quadrant belongs to me."

He was replied with silence by Kakarot and Vegeta. He knew they understood. Just were being stubborn for the moment. He knew they weren't big on the idea of working together. But it was the only way he could find out just how powerful these two saiyan boys were. Vegeta's strength didn't surprise him much considering he was former King Vegeta's son and apart of the Royal Family. Kakarot, on the other hand, was a completely different story.

Though born as a low level soldier Kakarot's power level has been rising at quite an alarming pace. From the results of his missions. The harder the opponents the stronger he became. Almost as if his power was climbing on it's own. With every victory. He would check results from the boy's training workouts. To put in simple terms he was becoming stronger everyday. Something Frieza couldn't afford. For now he'd team him up with the Prince. The two will eventually destroy each other anyway. Doing a favor for him.

"Now you are dismissed."

Vegeta and Kakarot turned around and began to walk away. Frieza was done, for now. They walked. Vegeta taking lead while Kakarot walked a few inches behind him. Neither boy spoke a word for neither of them liked the idea of being forced to work together. Just walked in utter silence until they were out the door and completely out of sight.

Vegeta kept lead while Kakarot stayed to walked a bit slower behind. The younger of the two kept his gaze resting down towards the white tiled floor. His thoughts left to his own.

Kakarot had never worked alongside anyone ever before. Just worked alone when sent on a mission. Attaining victory on his own. No one there whom helped. Just alone. Now this was going to be something new. Not like he was looking forward to it. Considering the fact it was also the prince. A stuck up, rude, and apparently short tempered person. When he heard he was going to be his partner Vegeta just snapped. Started insulting him out of nowhere. Calling him names like weakling and low level. What was this kid's problem? Was he so full of himself that he was blinded by his arrogant pride. Thinking that maybe he wasn't or will ever be able to reach his level. Kakarot would show him. The same way he intended to show everyone who ever put him down. No matter what ranked the Prince was. With enough hard work even a low level could surpass an elite, and he intended to prove it.

"Look kid," spoke up Vegeta breaking the silence between the two of them. His voice still filled with somewhat anger and annoyance. "I'm not very fond with the idea of working together on this assignment of ours. I already had enough weaklings slowing me down I don't need another one."

Someone's feeling a little over-confident, thought Kakarot. Continuing his pace behind the Prince. His eyes fixed on the boy whom was only about a head over him.

"But since we have no other choice in the matter. I expect you to stay out of my way. Understand. I'll fight my way while you do the same. Not like I expect you to last very long that is. Considering how weak your power level already is."

Kakarot clenched his fists tightly and narrowed his eyes. Anger clearly forcing it's way through, but using every ounce of strength he had he held back. There was no point on fighting the kid for he did have a point. At this rate Vegeta was somewhat stronger than he was. Kakarot knowing he wasn't exactly at his league… yet. A large difference. One that he intended to change in time. For with each battle fought and won he became stronger. He'd show the Prince. For now all he could do was stay quiet and simply push the harsh, rude words away.

"Nothing to say. Typical," finished Vegeta as he made his way through the halls. The little chibi following closely.

After what seemed like a long walk the two chibi saiyans finally arrived at the lower decks of Frieza's ships. As the tyrant said their space pods were being tended to. Doing finishing touches to them before they made their departure. The soldiers spoke to them soon after explaining a few last details. Both understood then got onto their separate ships and turned them on. The two space pods slowly lifted as they took flight. The ceiling above began to open as well. Once the gap was big enough the space pods went through then launched into the black, emptiness of space.

Well that's the end of chapter one. The ending was rushed i know but wanted to get this over with. Next chapter already working on it so please leave your reviews and tell me what you think and like always no flames. Your reviews are what keep going on writing this story.
