CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Alliances
The day after her coronation, Queen Zukanna moved swiftly to continue strengthening alliances, making preparations to travel to Galactic Patrol Headquarters alongside Jaco. Entrusting her mother and new Advisor, former Queen Shiva, with the responsibilities of leadership in her absence, she gathered her team, Nio and her loyal royal guards, and made her way to the spaceport where her spaceship awaited. Blueberry, now stationed on Imecka, had already begun his duties as regent, ensuring stability on the newly liberated planet.
Once aboard, the ship launched into space, bound for the Galactic Patrol prison. In the training room, Nio and the guards worked tirelessly, sparring and honing their skills under the ship's advanced gravity settings. Meanwhile, Jaco and Zukanna found a quiet corner, discussing Jaco's role in the Galactic Patrol and his unique perspective on Saiyan history.
As they spoke, Jaco's stories turned to the past, particularly the fear Saiyans had inspired during Frieza's reign. Zukanna listened intently, absorbing his accounts of the Saiyan warriors who had once served as Frieza's powerful enforcers. Then Jaco shared a mission he'd once undertaken: his orders had been to prevent a Saiyan baby from reaching Earth. "But," he explained with a puzzled shrug, "that baby never made it to Earth on my watch. Imagine the mess if it had!"
Zukanna sat in stunned silence, her mind racing. She knew exactly who that child had been, Kakarot, or as he was now known, Goku. The Saiyan who had grown to be one of the most powerful Saiyans in recent history, had narrowly escaped a different fate. Yet she kept this knowledge to herself, allowing Jaco to continue with his tales, a mixture of curiosity and respect glimmering in her eyes.
Jaco, oblivious to her revelation, chattered on, filling the space with stories of his escapades. Zukanna smiled, realizing that these stories were only deepening her understanding of the universe, and reinforcing her determination to guide the Saiyan race into an era defined not by fear, but by honor and strength.
After days of travel through the star-speckled void, Zukanna's ship finally arrived at the Galactic Patrol Headquarters a massive, rotating, doughnut-shaped space station. As they docked in the hangar, she took a moment to observe the design, guessing it was engineered to provide artificial gravity, though she kept her theories to herself. She could feel the weight of her role more keenly than ever.
Once they disembarked and passed through customs, Jaco ordered the junior officers to process a still-unconscious Turles. With their captive being led away, he then ushered Zukanna, Nio, and her royal guards through the pristine corridors until they reached the Galactic King's throne room. The grandeur of the place was undeniable, with towering pillars and intricate mosaics lining the walls, each depicting scenes of Galactic Patrol victories and justice served.
The Galactic King's attendant stepped forward with dramatic flair, beginning the lengthy and formal introduction. "Behold, the Galactic King, ruler and protector of the Milky Way galaxy, supreme leader of the Galactic Patrol, guardian of peace and order…"
Zukanna quietly hoped that Blueberry could be by her side to handle the formalities, feeling slightly out of her element. But, sensing her hesitation, Cressa took a confident step forward, her voice clear and steady. "It is an honor to present Queen Zukanna, sovereign of the newly risen Saiyan Empire, protector of Aeon, formally a slave world, Yardrat, and Imecka, and defender of the innocent throughout her territories."
Zukanna glanced gratefully at Cressa, finding reassurance in her presence. This support reminded her that she wasn't alone in this journey, her people believed in her, and her royal guard would stand by her in every moment of uncertainty. The Galactic King's curious, approving gaze settled on her, and she returned the look with calm, unflinching confidence, prepared to discuss the potential alliance that could bridge their worlds.
The Galactic King rose on his many tentacles, his graceful, squid-like form hovering toward Zukanna. "It's an honor to meet a Saiyan whose focus isn't solely on conquest and destruction," he said warmly. She inclined her head slightly, offering a respectful nod that didn't diminish her authority. "The honor is mine, to stand in the presence of the great protector of the Milky Way and leader of the Galactic Patrol," she replied, her voice steady. Her words brought a blush to the king's strange but expressive face, and he gave a pleased, humble nod in return.
They moved on to discuss the potential alliance between their two empires. Zukanna explained her plans, laying out the future she envisioned for the Saiyans. "Our race is few in number," she began, "and our gene pool grows shallow. Earth, however, is populated by humans whose biology is compatible with ours. I propose we settle on Earth in the Sol system, making it our new home planet and part of Saiyan territory. The Saiyan Empire would, however, remain independent of the Galactic King's direct rule."
The king listened intently as she continued, outlining her offer. In exchange for settling rights in the Sol system, she promised to cede all former Frieza territories to the Galactic Patrol, sparing the planets that her own forces had liberated. Furthermore, she proposed a military alliance between their two empires, ensuring mutual support in times of conflict.
After a thoughtful pause, the Galactic King reached out with a tentacle to shake her hand. "Then let it be so," he declared, his voice thick with emotion. "May this alliance mark the beginning of a peaceful, prosperous era for both our peoples."
As their handshake sealed the pact, he turned to his attendant and ordered a feast prepared in Zukanna's honor, commemorating this historic union between Saiyans and the Galactic Patrol. With a new alliance forged and their futures intertwined, they moved forward together to celebrate, a pivotal moment not only for the Saiyan Empire but for the galaxy itself.
The Galactic King guided Zukanna on a tour of the headquarters, pointing out key areas with a sense of pride. They walked through the cell block first, where prisoners, both captured criminals and former associates of Frieza's forces, were held. Zukanna noted the tight security and state-of-the-art containment systems as the king explained the extensive precautions taken to keep the galaxy's most dangerous criminals in check.
Next, they entered the training wing, where some of the most revered officers were stationed. One figure, in particular, stood out: Meerus, a calm and powerful presence among the patrol's ranks. Jaco glanced up at Meerus with admiration, as if in the presence of a living legend. Meerus greeted Zukanna with a respectful nod, his interest piqued when the king mentioned the Saiyans' renowned warrior spirit. They spoke briefly, exchanging ideas on training and combat. Meerus even mentioned a rare artifact under the patrol's control: a mysterious room capable of bending time itself. With its power, a warrior could train for three full days in the span of a single day. Zukanna's curiosity was deeply stirred, but she knew the time for training would come later.
Soon after, they were called to the grand feast. The dining hall was decorated to celebrate the new alliance, tables filled with an array of dishes that spanned countless planetary cultures. As the Saiyans dug in with enthusiasm, the galactic patrol members around them could hardly believe their eyes, the Saiyans devoured food with the energy and speed of battle. Their awe brought laughter from the Galactic King, who delighted in their expressions, remarking, "It seems our friends from the Saiyan Empire have brought their legendary appetites as well!"
Zukanna smiled, savoring the atmosphere and the food, feeling for the first time in a long while that her people, so often feared and misunderstood, were finding allies among the stars. The feast was not only a celebration of diplomacy but a testament to the mutual respect that was slowly growing between the Saiyans and the Galactic Patrol.
After the feast, Zukanna and her entourage made their way to the hyperbolic time chamber, as Meerus called it. Once inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Zukanna, Nio, and her royal guards settled into the surreal environment, where an endless white void surrounded the pavilion. Recognizing the unique challenges of the chamber, its thinning oxygen and increasingly oppressive heat the further one moved away from the entrance, they approached their training with focused strategy. Training with her elite guards and Nio was intense and transformative. The endless white expanse allowed them to test their physical and mental limits, each pushing forward with newfound vigor.
Zukanna began by preparing her guards, each of them would need to unlock the Super Saiyan form. Though their strength was nearly at par with hers when she had faced Frieza on Namek, achieving the transformation would take more than brute strength. She guided them to the intense emotional state needed, helping them recall memories of hardship, loss, and rage.
Nio's training presented a unique challenge. He managed to transform into the powerful green-haired form—often called the "berserk" or "legendary" super Saiyan form—during a high-stakes sparring session. His sheer power shook the chamber, and it took Zukanna's skill in Forced Spirit Fission to stabilize his energy and subdue him. Deciding the green-haired form required further refinement, she shifted her focus, attempting to teach him a lesser but still potent transformation: the Wrathful Form. Without a tail, it was a challenge, as this form drew heavily on the Saiyan's primal Great Ape power, yet Nio's connection to the raw, primal energy hinted he might still be able to achieve it. Under her guidance, he learned to access a portion of the primal power without fully transforming, though he had yet to bring it fully under control.
For herself, Zukanna was focused on a breakthrough of her own. Her experience in controlling and refining her super Saiyan state with Elder Pybara's teachings had enhanced her stamina to the point where she could maintain it without the typical drain. She dedicated her time in the chamber to merging the super Saiyan form with the wrathful form, a fusion of her strength and primal Saiyan power. Every time she transformed, she could feel herself inching closer, her aura thickening with an untamed energy. By the time they left, she was on the cusp of mastering this unique fusion, a transformation she knew would push her power to new heights.
Under Zukanna's guidance, the royal guards channeled their emotions to break through to the coveted Super Saiyan transformation. The process wasn't easy; emotions ran high as each of them wrestled with the rage necessary to unlock the form, finally achieving it one by one as they drew from their innermost strengths. The moment each warrior achieved the transformation, their power spiked, and a brilliant golden aura surrounded them, their hair transforming into radiant gold, a striking sight in the vast, empty chamber. By the final day in the chamber, they had a rudimentary control of Super Saiyan, though it remained a challenge to sustain.
On their final day, Zukanna and her team emerged from the hyperbolic time chamber profoundly changed. The Saiyans had spent almost three months in the chamber, but only twenty days had passed in the real world. The royal guards now possessed the fabled Super Saiyan power, and Nio stood strong, a warrior on the verge of mastering his unique form. Zukanna knew she was close to a breakthrough that could fundamentally reshape the limits of Saiyan strength. Although she hadn't fully unlocked it yet, she felt invigorated, her spirit and power more focused than ever. The chamber had pushed them all to their limits and beyond, transforming them into the elite warriors the Saiyan Empire would need in the galaxy ahead.
After their intensive training, Zukanna, Nio, and the royal guards reconvened with the Galactic King, who marveled at their newfound strength and presence. To mark their success and the alliance, the Galactic King hosted another feast, this time with the Galactic Patrol officials more prepared for the Saiyans' hearty appetites. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie as they celebrated this powerful alliance between the Saiyan Empire and the Galactic Patrol.
During the feast, Zukanna informed the Galactic King of her immediate plans: to return to her current base and promptly relocate it to Earth, establishing the Sol system as the new heart of the Saiyan Empire. Recognizing the importance of an enduring alliance, the Galactic King proposed opening a Saiyan embassy within the Patrol Headquarters to strengthen their communication and cooperation. In return, Zukanna pledged to set up a Galactic Patrol embassy within her base, ensuring that the Saiyan Empire and the Galactic Patrol remained close allies, ready to support each other.
The mutual respect between them was clear, and the Galactic King bid them farewell with a renewed sense of purpose and optimism. With a last round of well-wishes, Zukanna and her team boarded their ship, ready to return to their base and embark on the next chapter of their mission to rebuild and secure a powerful future for the Saiyan Empire on Earth.
When Queen Zukanna and her entourage arrived back on Frieza 79, the sight of the old Frieza ship emblazoned with the Saiyan logo sparked pride among her people. After being warmly welcomed by her advisor and mother, former Queen Shiva, as well as her brother Tarble and the Saiyan representatives, Zukanna waved to her people before heading to the meeting chambers with her trusted council.
Inside, Zukanna briefed the representatives and Shiva on the successful alliance with the Galactic Patrol, explaining the mutual benefits they had secured. She then highlighted the importance of relocating to Earth. Not only would the Sol system provide a sustainable and promising future for the Saiyan Empire, but Earth's genetic compatibility with Saiyans also offered hope for strengthening their population. This move, she emphasized, was essential to preserving the Saiyan legacy and ensuring their survival.
With the Saiyan base soon to be moved to Earth, Zukanna also discussed the necessity of establishing an embassy for the Galactic Patrol on the base. This, she explained, would keep the alliance strong and allow for swift cooperation in times of need. The representatives listened intently, and though some voiced concerns about Earth's vulnerabilities, they ultimately agreed with Zukanna's vision and the importance of forging lasting partnerships.
The groundwork was now set for an exciting new era. With Earth as their new home, the Saiyans would rebuild, adapt, and reclaim the strength of their heritage while forming a future among allies.
After the meeting, Queen Zukanna made her way to the engineering center to check on the preparations for making the Saiyan base mobile. The head engineer greeted her, proudly reporting that the base was fully prepared for the journey to Earth. He explained that the shield generators had been reconfigured to create a protective bubble around the base. This bubble would trap enough of the planet's atmosphere to sustain life, allowing for breathable air and stable conditions during their three-month journey. Additionally, the shields would act as a barrier against any debris or space hazards, ensuring the base's safety as it traveled through the void.
The head engineer then detailed the limitations of the propulsion system, noting that while the base thrusters were sufficient for long-distance travel, they didn't match the speed of the anti-gravity generators used by smaller ships like the Frieza vessel. As a result, the journey to Earth would be slow but steady, with everything in place to ensure safety and sustainability. the Saiyan base would still make steady progress, reaching Earth within three months.
Pleased with the progress, Zukanna congratulated the engineering team and instructed them to finalize the necessary preparations. Soon, the entire Saiyan base would begin its voyage toward Earth—a historic relocation that would bring their people closer to a new era of growth and unity.
Before the Saiyan base embarked on its journey to Earth, Queen Zukanna gathered the Saiyans and the diverse array of aliens under her command in the grand throne room. The vast chamber buzzed with anticipation, packed to capacity with over a thousand individuals, approximately 300 Saiyans and more than 700 others, each one representing a unique culture and history.
Zukanna stood tall, her presence commanding as she began her rousing speech. She spoke passionately about the journey ahead, framing it as a new beginning for their empire. Her words echoed through the hall, inspiring hope and determination among her people. She emphasized the strength they would gain through unity and collaboration, highlighting the opportunities that awaited them on Earth.
After igniting their spirits, Zukanna outlined her plans for the non-Saiyan aliens. She instructed the majority of them to either accompany Blueberry on Imecka, where they would help transform the planet into a bustling trading hub, or to travel to Aeon, the former slave market, where they would assist in rebuilding it into a thriving, prosperous world. Only a select few aliens were to join the Saiyans on their journey to Earth, as they were deemed essential for the operation and maintenance of the mobile base.
With her vision clearly articulated, Zukanna concluded her speech, and a wave of cheers erupted throughout the chamber. The collective resolve of the crowd solidified their shared mission: to grow stronger together and build a brighter future in their new home. As they prepared to set off, a sense of camaraderie and purpose filled the air, marking a historic moment in the legacy of the Saiyan Empire.
As the ships carrying the non-Saiyan aliens took off towards Aeon and Imecka, Queen Zukanna stood on the command deck of the Saiyan base, her heart swelling with anticipation for the journey ahead. With a steady hand, she issued the order for the base to begin its long-awaited flight to Earth. The massive structure, encased in a protective shield bubble, lifted off gracefully and soared into the vast expanse of space.
The journey was long, taking a full three months as planned, but the crew remained diligent and focused. During this time, Zukanna often reflected on the new beginnings that awaited them. Finally, as they entered the Sol system, excitement crackled through the air.
However, her keen senses quickly picked up on something unusual. As they approached Earth, she felt two immense power levels clashing fiercely against each other, one of which she recognized as Goku's. The other energy was unfamiliar, sparking her curiosity and concern. With the instincts of a warrior, she knew they had to investigate.
"Stop the base!" she commanded urgently, her voice cutting through the murmur of the crew. They complied swiftly, bringing the base to a halt in orbit around the planet. Zukanna turned to her trusted allies—Nio and her royal guards, Azuka, Cressa, Orcuro, and Arbu. "Prepare the ship for descent. We need to find out what's happening down there."
With determination lighting her eyes, Zukanna led the way as they boarded her ship. The crew worked quickly, ensuring everything was ready for the flight. Soon after, her ship launched from the base's spaceport, gliding smoothly through the atmosphere towards Earth.
As they descended, Zukanna couldn't shake the feeling of urgency that pulsed through her.
