A/N: Same as before guys, more content added and hopefully more depth.
A/N: Sorry it has taken me so long to upload this chapter. I work full time plus have kids so life is kind of hectic for me. That being said I want to try and make this as perfect everyone as possible. I want to thank who reviewed. These will really help to keep me from losing focus and continue on with this story. If there is anything you guys want to see or want each chapter to be longer or shorter please let me know. In case you guys haven't guessed this is an AU so personalities are going to be a little different as well as what happens but I am going to try and make this fun for everyone. Now on with the tale!

Vegeta couldn't believe what he was hearing! His father was sending him away! To another planet to hide, how cowardly and if there is one thing the young Prince was not, it was a coward! Looking up at his king he scowled. "I don't want to go, I refuse to go, and I will not be a coward!" The King couldn't help but feel a little pride the young Princes words but he knew going to Frieza would be a mistake for the young prince. So with a sigh he physically picked the boy up and walked to the space pods with the child screaming the entire way. "Silence Brat!" the King finally yelled fed up with all the noise his child was making "Do you want everyone on the Planet to know what is going on." Vegeta didn't answer but he did quit screaming at the top of his lungs. He couldn't believe his father was doing this to him. Why would he want to get rid of him? Did the King truly think he was afraid of the purple lizard because he wasn't, there was very little the young prince was afraid of, although if he was honest with himself being sent to a strange planet all by himself without his father or Nappa frightened him even if he would never admit it to anyone or himself for that matter.
King Vegeta was just happy the child was no longer trying to bust his eardrums with his screeching. He understood his son was upset but there really wasn't a better choice than this. His child's grumbling and sulking brought him back to the present. "Stop that brat!" he ordered "you are a prince, not a baby and you WILL be strong!" If looks could kill the young Prince would be the next king. "I do not want to leave! Why are you forcing me to do this?" It came out whinier than Vegeta planned but he couldn't help it, he was only seven and he was very unhappy. "Trust me boy, it is for your own good." Was the reply he got. "Yeah right" he thought darkly.
*meanwhile at the pods*
Nappa and Bardock hurried to do as their King demanded. After dismissing all the technicians they chose a small pod and started prepping it for takeoff. "Where are we going to send him off too?" Nappa asked as Bardock started setting the coordinates "I think it would be better if we do not know" was Bardock's reply "after all if we do not know Frieza cannot force us to tell him." As he entered a random coordinate Bardock worried about the side effects of his King's rather rash plan. He understood wanting to protect your children, after all he had two son's himself however for the King their race should come first. "Nappa, I am not so sure this is a good idea." "Why not Bardock?" Bardock sighed, he respected Nappa's strength but he really wasn't very good at thinking further down the line. "Because what do you think that Frieza is going to do to our race for this? Nothing good I can tell you that right now." Nappa thought about this for a moment, he didn't have a wife or children so he really couldn't relate to the King's feelings for his son however Nappa was nothing if not loyal to his King and if he told him that this was what was best he would agree to it. "Honestly Bardock, We are not the ones who need to worry about that. King Vegeta will handle it however he see's fit.
As the King walked onto where the pods were being kept he was met by Nappa and Bardock who both kneeled. "The pod is ready Sire" Bardock informed him.
King Vegeta put his son down and knelt so he was at eye level. "My son" he began "I know this is hard for you but in order to make sure that you become a great king and keep you out of that monster's hands I have to do this. I want you to remain strong and remember that you are the Prince of all Saiyans and you are destined for greatness." With that The King squeezed Vegeta's shoulder and then shoved him into the Pod. As the door closed the pod automatically took off and left the planet's atmosphere.
Nappa looked over at his king watching the trail of white as his only son disappeared, perhaps forever. "Sire" he said softly "we are going to have to do something to appease Frieza." The King just shook his head. "Don't worry" he said, "I will think of something."
Meanwhile, shooting through space a pod made a straight shot for an unknown blue and green planet.
Vegeta didn't even get to say goodbye before his father shoved him into the pod and that made him so angry, He hated when people shoved him around but before he could launch into a tirade about the unfairness of it all, sleeping gas filled the small chamber and the tiny Prince fell into a deep sleep.
FIVE MINUTES TO DESTINATION…..FIVE MINUTES TO DESTINATION….FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE…Vegeta woke up to the pod announcing that he had reached his destination. Looking at the instruments it looked like he had been out for about five months and he was bracing himself for impact when an alarm started blaring out of nowhere and sparks started flying from the control panel. Unable to slow the small ship down the pod shot through the atmosphere, crashing with a horrific BANG and on impact Vegeta hit his head hard on the console and blackness took him once again.
He could hear noises although he wasn't sure what these noises were. Groggily the boy opened his eyes and immediately wished he hadn't, bright sunlight stung his face making it hard to see. When he sat up and looked around he didn't recognize his surroundings, He was sitting in a crater in the middle of what he assumed was a forest considering the tall trees around the crater. In the crater was a metal….thing, he had no other way to describe it. It was round metallic and had a door that had apparently popped open on impact, depositing the boy outside of it. "Where am I?" He thought looking around, and then looked down at himself "What am I wearing?" He was in what could only be described as armor with a cape attached with little white gloves and boots, and a black spandex suit. He decided to take stock of what he knew "My name is Vegeta, and I came out of the round metal thing….did I hatch?" He said out loud, jumping slightly at the sound of his voice. It was strange to hear it when the only other sounds were probably animal sounds. At least he told himself they were animals. Admittedly it wasn't a lot but at least he had a name, then his stomach grumbled telling him it was time to eat. Deciding that food was important the young boy stood up and almost fell down again when his tail wrapped itself around his waist. "Huh, I have a tail….do all people have tails? Probably." He thought as he gained his balance and started climbing out of the crater.
Looking around he started sniffing trying to find food but as he went through the forest the cape and armor kept getting caught on different plants and brambles. Eventually getting fed up with it he removed the armor and attached cape and left it on the ground and continued on his way in just the boots, gloves and spandex suit, stopping every so often to sniff, looking for the scent of food. Suddenly he stopped and sniffed, something smelled really good! As he came to a clearing there was a small hut with smoke coming from the top. "I wonder if that good smell is coming from there." He thought and with that walked up to the door.

A/N: So I was inspired a lot by the 'Geta Verse Author Tie-dyed Trickster and with her permission have used some ideas from her (Vegeta thinking he popped out of an egg) and I want to thank her for allowing me to do so. So if anyone reads the 'Geta Verse and anything in here reminds you of it, I probably was inspired by it but it originally belongs to Trickster and credit goes to her for having such an amazing imagination.
