Author's Note: There is a small change in the cast list. Because I am still unsure which DBZ characters should be Pumbaa and Timon, I decided to give them humans. If you have any suggestion, it would be appreciated!
This time, the chapter is a little longer. Yay! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z and Lion King. I also don't own the lyrics. I'm only doing this for fun. *for the last ten years, I've been trying to purchase Vegeta from Akira who kept rejecting me and calling me a crazy bitch :'( *

Chapter 3
TEN YEARS LATER
"You brat!" Nappa yelled angrily.
Kakarot laughed, as he was running away from Nappa at one of the ball rooms at the Vegeta family's castle. "Catch me if you can!"
"I'm not playing the game with you! How many times do I have to tell you before you get it!"
"Hehehe, you are funny!" Kakarot laughed again. He thought it was fun… at least until he accidentally slipped at a few feet away from the innocent vase.
"NOOOO!" Nappa cried, as if the world was ending. Somehow he boosted his speed, and he was running faster and faster.
Just as Kakarot crashed into the stand, Nappa jumped and caught the beautiful aqua vase, which barely fell off.
"Whoops!" Kakarot laughed heartily.
"Stupid brat!" Nappa yelled angrily.
~~ROAR~~
"So, that was how your grandfather made the deal with Lord Frieza in order to protect our planet just for our sake," the tutor said. It was important for every prince to receive a high qualified education, so King Vegeta hired the best one in the world.
"That's so lame," Vegeta slammed his textbook close. He was still not pleased that his family was getting orders from Lord Frieza. That lousy white alien is not the king of Planet Vegeta, for Kai's sake!
"But, my Prince, you'll be working with him someday. Sooner or later, you will have to start respecting him—"
All of sudden, Kakarot barged into the large room and he brought his whines with him. "Vegeta! I'm so bored! I want to play with you instead of Nappa! He's no fun anymore!"
"I told you not to disturb Prince Vegeta!" Nappa yelled.
Vegeta smirked at Kakarot's silliness and Nappa's frustration. "You can't even catch him? You suck at being our guard."
"You ungrateful…" Nappa stopped himself when he realized that he was speaking to one of the important people. "I mean, I didn't want to hurt him..."
"Just because his father is a good friend of my father does not mean that you can spoil him too much!"
"But…"
"Baka! Get out," Vegeta did not want to hear any more word from the idiot. Nappa had been their guard ever since they were born… or their babysitter as Vegeta thought of him to be. They were ten years old, and they did not need a babysitter!
"Be nice, Vegeta," King Vegeta entered the room. He dismissed Prince Vegeta's tutor and turned to his son. "You are supposed to act like the Saiyan Prince, not an ungrateful and spoiled brat."
"Maybe he is just tired," Bardock said, as he also came into the room.
"That's why you are too much easy on your son," King Vegeta snapped at him. "He is supposed to be how the first-class soldiers act by now."
"They are only ten years old," Bardock reminded him. "As long as their power levels keep growing as their doctors expected, they will be fine."
"Tch! Fine," King Vegeta sighed. Normally, he wouldn't be listening if he were to talk to someone else. "My son, come with me."
Just like every curious ten-year-old Saiyan child, Vegeta followed King Vegeta outside on the balcony.
They could see thousands of Saiyans in the city, along with small houses and small shops. It was very crowded, especially when the birth rate had been increasing lately. They were warriors, bartenders, trainers/mentors, farmers, blacksmiths, and even doctors.
"Look, Vegeta. The whole planet is our kingdom. Even Saiyans on the other side of the planet know who we are," King Vegeta explained.
"Whoa," Vegeta glanced at the city with full of Saiyans.
"Someday my time will be up, and you will be their new king. Just like as the warrior has fallen, the newer and stronger warrior rises."
"And this'll all be mine?" Vegeta asked with the excited tone.
"Yes, everything. That's only if you are powerful enough to be their Saiyan King," King Vegeta said with so much pride in their race.
"I see. What about that big ship?" Vegeta pointed at the large mother ship outside the gate.
"That's Lord Frieza's territory. You must never go there, Vegeta," King Vegeta said seriously.
"But you said the whole planet will be mine," Vegeta decided to be a smart-mouthed brat at this moment, but King Vegeta knew he would say that.
"Yes, you're right. You'll rule the whole planet except that small area. It does not count as our kingdom anyway," King Vegeta said. "Being the Saiyan King is so much more than being royal and being the planet's strongest warrior."
"Really?"
"You have to understand how to be their king. They respect us because of our power levels. We also respect them, and that's enough for them. That's why we do not have to worry about them overpowering us. There are five different classes in our society. In the order from the highest or the most powerful to lowest or the weakest… Vegeta Royal Family, Elites, First-Class, Second-Class, and Third-Class."
"Isn't Bardock the third-class soldier? Is he weak?" Vegeta asked.
"He was named as the third-class soldier when he was only a baby, but that does not mean that he would stay as the one forever. In the fact, his power level is now in the level of the first-class soldier. He has been growing stronger and stronger ever since I met him. The Saiyans can be unpredictable sometimes. So, my advice for you is never to underestimate a Saiyan. That's why Lord Frieza fears us. That's why he does not dare to try to fight us. He knows that we will defeat them. What he fears the most is that one of us may become Super Saiyan."
"Super Saiyan?"
"Super Saiyan is the most powerful being in the universe. His power level much exceeds Lord Frieza's. Last time he appeared was one thousand years ago when the He used to be Saiyan King as well."
"Wow." Now, it made sense to Prince Vegeta. Lord Frieza could be always vicious toward other kind of aliens, but not toward Saiyans. He just ignored them because… he was very afraid of them. Prince Vegeta wondered if he defeated Lord Frieza, then did it mean he would be Super Saiyan?
King Vegeta decided that it was a good time to tell his son. "Have I ever told you about the former kings?"
Vegeta blinked in surprise. "What about them?"
"Did you know that they are always watching over us?" King Vegeta put his hand on his son's head.
"Why are they watching us?" Vegeta felt grossed out by the fact that he was being always watched.
"To make sure that we are doing ok and that they will always be there to guide us."
"Guide us? If everything is fine now, why do we need their guide?" Prince Vegeta asked.
"Someday you will understand," King Vegeta smirked at him.
"Your Majesty?" Nappa asked nervously, as he came out on the balcony. He did not want to interrupt the conversation between the father and son, but it was important. "The Lord wants to see you as soon as possible."
"Very well," King Vegeta sighed lightly. "I'm sorry, Vegeta, but I have to go."
"Can I come?" Vegeta wanted to see the mother ship that nobody was allowed to go except asked to.
"No, you can't."
"Why not?"
"Keep an eye on him," King Vegeta said to Nappa, as he got back in the castle as quick as he could.
Nappa could feel a glare from his Prince. "You don't know what Lord Frieza is really like."
"Ugh! I never get to go anywhere outside this city!" Vegeta almost pouted.
"My young Prince, you'll be king someday. Then, you can go anywhere you want," Nappa smiled nervously, not wanting to anger him any further. There was one time when he was so angry that he almost destroyed the whole city. He thought he would go Super Saiyan for sure! But then, King Vegeta was the only one who was able to stop him.
He wondered what would his Prince be like when he became the Saiyan King? He almost shivered at the thought.
