Prologue - The Arrival


"Vegeta, you will find one SOON! Do I make myself clear?!"

Prince Vegeta stood, filled with rage, in front of his father. How could his father even think about making him find a mate now? There were so many other things to worry about, purging missions, conquering missions, training, becoming stronger, learning how to be a King. When did his father think he would have time to find a mate? Why did he need a mate anyway? They usually did no more than get in the way. "I don't need a mate! You do not control my life old man."

Smack! Vegeta felt his cheeks sting slightly. His father hadn't hit him since almost ten years ago. "Call me old man again and you'll find out that I'm not as old as you think I am. Make sure your mate is of royal blood." Vegeta glared icicles at his father. Out of respect, he did not retort. "Now you will do as I say or else!"

"Hmph." Vegeta crossed his arms and stalked out of the room in high bad temper. His father's "or else" didn't scare him. He was more powerful than his father could ever dream of becoming. Still, he would do as his father had asked. He was, afterall, still only a Prince. When he was the King, he would give out the orders and anyone who defied would pay the penalty of death.

"Wait." Vegeta stopped, almost out the door. "You and ten other Saiyans of your choice are to go and conquer a far off planet called Earth. Our scientists say their are interesting possibilities on that planet. Do no more harm than neccessary."

"Prince Vegeta, we have reached our destination."

Vegeta quickly brought himself back to the present and stared at his closest comrade, Kakkarot. "Hmph, than what are we doing still on this ship? Let's get this over as quickly as possible."

Kakkarot smiled as he followed his Prince to the boarding dock. After years and years of growing up together, he understood his Prince's every move, every emotion, every thought. It had all began when the rest of Planet Vegeta could not last in a battle against the Prince. Vegeta had grown desperate for a challenge and had stumbled upon Kakkarot, the third class Saiyan. Since than, they had grown closer everyday and their powers only continued to rise. Now, Kakkarot was Vegeta's right hand man on missions, and the only person he trusted with any thoughts or emotions.

Total chaos rained upon the Earth as the spaceship began to descend. Screams of fear rang from every corner and all law and order was forgotten. Meanwhile, Vegeta smirked as he felt the ship touch down. He could sense the frantic ki of the little Earthlings. He liked to feel the enemy panic. It made him feel...stronger.

He could sense some of the stronger creatures congregating in an area not far from the spaceship as he felt out their ki. They were not all human however. He could sense some other creatures powers. He didn't care. They would be no match for him and his nine saiyan elites.

The door of the ship began to open and the screams began to fade. Vegeta understood. The humans were running away. His smirk widened. It didn't matter what they did. They couldn't hide forever. Besides, this planet was now part of the Saiyan empire. They would eventually learn to obey the commands given to them, or they would learn of a kind of pain that they had never experienced before.

Eight of his elite soldiers stepped out, forming a line of salute for their Prince. Kakkarot followed next, to make sure everything was in order. Vegeta slowly exited from his ship, arms crossed over his chest, head held high, eyes glaring hatred towards everyone and everything. "Well, what the hell are you bakas looking at? You two, go and deal with those loud rumbling noises. They are annoying me."

Luma and Homto, the two that Vegeta had pointed at, took to the air and headed for the noise. Seconds later, loud explosions and shots could be heard and seen miles away as the Earth's military tried desperately to supress the two elite Saiyans. Tanks, helicopters, battleships, bombers, fighter jets, all were useless. Their attempts were in vain and their lives were wasted. The Earth's military and many of the buildings within the immediate vicinity were destroyed in less than five minutes. Luma and Homto dropped down in front of the Prince to give their report of the encounters.

Vegeta glared icily at the two warriors as they gave their report, merely nodding at them when they had finished. He wondered to himself how such creatures could have survived so long when they possessed virtually no ki and no defenses. He saw no reason why his father wanted such a weak planet to be part of the Saiyan empire. He made a mental note to discard of it as soon as he began his rule as King.

"My Prince, I sense some decent ki levels approaching us. What shall we do?"

"Baka! I know they are coming. Who do you think I am? Since I didn't give any orders, it means you bakas are to do nothing! Let them come."

Kakkarot smirked to himself, knowing why the Prince was in a foul temper. King Vegeta had told the Prince to find a mate. The Prince wanted nothing to do with such things. His only interest since childhood had been to attain the legendary level of a Super Saiyan. Kakkarot felt bad for the elite soldiers around him, in fact, he felt bad for anyone who showed their face in front of Vegeta while he was in a bad mood. He shook his head at the Prince's temper and slowly waited, as did the others, for the arrival of these creatures.

Vegeta stood in front of his soldiers, watching with amusement as their challengers touched down in front of them. There was a short bald guy, a green guy who possessed the highest power rating, a guy with three eyes, a pure white, extra short, guy, another guy with a scar on his face, an old looking man with a shell on his back, a big, tall, fat guy, a girl with black hair, and a girl with blue colored hair who obviously possessed very little ki as she was being carried by the man with the scar.

Bulma, the girl with the blue colored hair, stepped away from her friends and stared coldly at the group of elite Saiyans. "You don't scare me. Now get off of my planet before I'm forced to hurt you." She matched every warrior's stare until her eyes met Vegeta's cold, icy ones. She shivered slightly against her will as he laughed evilly.

"You? What can you possibly do to hurt any of us woman?"

Bulma took a step forward, not letting the alien with the tail intimidate her. Her blue eyes shot daggers in his direction. "I can hurt you in more ways than one baka!"
