Vegeta Training 2

The search across space would take time. The ship had been stock piled with resources that would last years; it was possible that Vegeta would not return for sometime depending on what occurred in the Outer Rim of the universe. The Saiyan Warship was running diagnostics to ensure that it could properly navigate once they launched from the station. Vegeta had enlisted a number of 2nd Class Saiyans are crewmembers, his father had forbid him from removing the 3rd Class Saiyans from planet Vegeta. He had cause for concern, given that the Rebellion had just ended. He wanted to ensure that he had a strong foundation on the planet, should uprisings begin again. Soon the once dark vessel was glowing with bright lights as main power was activated. The roar of the engines could be heard coming from main engineering and the helm reported full power was available. The ship slowly turned out station doors and moved into the dark embrace of space. Its engines announced its presence while it moved further and further away from Planet Vegeta. Vegeta watched the planet get smaller from the observation deck until it was gone completely.

Vegeta gave instruction to alert him once they had reached the Outer Rim. He retired to his personal quarters on the ship that was fitted to transport a Royal Class Prince. His quarters were made of luxury surroundings designed for comfort. Instead of lying down for the time being, he sat down in front of the computer console and brought up the communication array. He had received a message from his Father just before their departure from the planet, which indicated that information, might be granted. King Vegeta appeared on the screen in a detailed recording. “Vegeta, we have tracked down several worlds in the Outer Rim that have been known to harbor Rebellion terrorist. We managed to slice the mainframe on Malaks original vessel. It detailed a number of armed transactions located in that general region along with protocol to be followed should they suspect Imperial evolvement.” King Vegeta said. “I am transferring the information to you’re vessel now. Be on guard, there are more than just Rebels in the Outer Rim to worry about. It is said that the bug creatures from planet Arlia have established colonies in the Outer Rim.” King Vegeta said before the transmission stopped. Vegeta closed the transmission array and brought up their current course. They would arrive in the Outer Rim in almost a week at present speed and he didn’t want to increase to maximum, giving the fact there wasn’t an emergency.

Vegeta plotted a course near the Arlian colonies that had been reported by travelers heading that direction. A colony of humanoid creatures had been conquered by the insects and forced into slavery. Vegeta planned to purge those planets of the bug infestation and look for clues that might lead them to the remnants of the Rebellion. More specially, their headquarters, which Malak must have been operating at. It is possible that it might be on one of the Arlian colonies, it is also possible that the Rebellion had transported the insect species to these planets for some reason. The Arlians hadn’t developed space travel and where a primitive species in most cases. Vegeta watched the ship travel through space, staring out into the great dismay darkness that was all around them. He had done a number of horrible things lately that could plague his soul for eternity. He remained staring for what seemed like ever, he needed to find more knowledge on becoming a Super Saiyan, could such a level even be possible? Vegeta headed for the door.

Vegeta was heading towards the Training Room, which was located on the aft of the ship. He stepped in after the automated doors had opened and assumed a position at the control console. He started the advanced training protocol as the computer listed a number of enemies that Vegeta could fight. He selected the Saibamen program, level five. The computer started to process the request. “Warning, level five safety protocols have been removed. Releasing system restraints.” The computer said as yellow sights started to flash. Four Saibamen were released from various harvesting stations. Their restraints were removed and they were free to act of their own free will. Each Saibamen had a power level of around 1,000 at best. They provided little danger, however; could be used to keep the Saiyan senses sharp. Vegeta had a lot of time to kill before they would reach the Outer Rim worlds. Why not spending in training? Vegeta square his shoulders to face the Saibamen. The green creatures were anxious creatures at best.

They came in a wave, which Vegeta dodged with little effort. He appeared behind them all as they looked between each other and then glanced back to him in awe. He watched their response and had to sneer, pathetic creatures not even worth the effort. One launched at him and attempt to strike, Vegeta responded with lightening fast kick to the face that smashed the creatures teeth into pieces. The Saibamen hit the ground holding its face in agonizing pain while Vegeta watched. The other green creatures took a few steps back losing determine from the powerful blow that they witnessed. Vegeta moved forward in blinding speed and close lined two of them, smashing them into the back of the Training Room. Before he turned to face the last one. At this point, the creature was cowering in the corner unable to escape. It scratched at the wall like a frightened animal. Vegeta held his hand out and launched a small Ki blast from his palm. The blast went straight through the creature’s head and out the other side. It fell dead as can be on the floor. The rest of them were easy to mop up. A couple more exciting moments and then it was all over. Vegeta headed back over to the computer terminal in order to end the Training Program.

The long travel through space proved to be lacking any sort of significant events. The Saiyans had finally arrived at the Outer Rim and had been monitoring the sector since arrival. Vegeta had confined himself to the Saibamen Chamber engaged in the most cruel training that one could imagine. Each time Vegeta would put the Saibamen down the computer would create a new batch that would be displayed for proper use of training. The number of explosions heard from the Saibamen Chamber couldn’t be counted anymore. Vegeta stands over the main terminal while he accessed the computer for estimated reports on there combat effective prowess. The Saiyan Warship had drawn from the nearby Outer Rim colonies. Pirates had begun scattering through out the Solar System in and effort to avoid the wrath of the Saiyans. Vegeta stood in the center of the Saibamen Chamber awaiting the next batch of unfortunate clones that would attempt to engage him combat. His eyes remained closed, waiting for his opponents to be harvested for use.

The green creatures launch from every part of the room in a desperate attempt to assault Vegeta. There hunger for destruction was unmatched by anything the Saiyans could emit. Vegeta vanished from mere sight as the green beings smashed into each other then began to fight amongst each other while Vegeta stood off to the side after reappearing. “I am over here. Such fragile creatures.” Vegeta said as he hauled off and smash his feet into a Saibamens face sending him into the nearby wall. The green creature struck the wall back first then fell to the ground in a heap. Just like the others, the green creatures started to panic from the power that Vegeta commanded. Vegeta sneered at the pathetic display and reached back, slamming his elbow into a green monster's head, crushing the side of the creature’s skeleton in a deathblow. The creature fell over half of its brains leaking out onto the floor. The reaming creatures took a hop back and placed their hands up palms out. The two that remained combined their energy to fire a powerful blast of purple energy that exploded across the room directly at Vegeta. The powerful purple energy beam lashed out threatening to consume the Saiyan Prince. Vegeta had to smile and raised a single hand up into the air. When the energy beam collided with his hand it stopped instantly. Purple energy pooled over his hand in response, however; Vegeta seemed to suffer no ill effects from the purple beam that was being held on his hand for the time being.

Prince Vegeta’s Scouter then blinked with a message from the bridge. “Prince Vegeta, we are approaching the Arlian colonies that have been established in the Outer Rim. Estimated time to arrival is 10 minutes you’re Majesty.” The Third Class Saiyan explained. Vegeta still holding the purple beam on his hand had to smirk in response. “Good, I was getting tired of this goblin hunt.” Vegeta said as he glanced across the room to the Saibamen who were pumping all the energy they had into the singular beam. Vegeta flexed his palm before channeling his own energy into a powerful blast of energy. The blue beam destroyed everything in its path, consuming the purple beam with ease. At the end of its road it swarmed the two Saibamen destroying them completely. Vegeta grinned as the smoke cleared and only he remained. “Time to get some answers.” Vegeta said as left the Saibamen Chamber and was on his way to the docking bay. “Prepare my pod for departure. While I am gone you are in command of the ship. Failure is death, do not forget this.” Vegeta said as he entered the Hangar Bay.

Vegeta and two other Saiyans all entered small singular Saiyan Space Pods used for singular travel from place to place. The door closed around Vegeta and he was sealed inside the sphere. Soon the pods were ejected from the Hangar Bay into space. Three blue energy trails could be seen travelling across the darkness of space there destination, the Arlian Colonies that had been established somehow way out here in the Outer Rims. Vegeta mused that these inspects could have never managed to get here by themselves. Someone put them here or helped them reach this destination. Vegeta closed his eyes waiting for the Saiyans to arrive on the planet surface. The Arlians had started to gather pointing up to the glowing balls of light in the sky. Little did they know that the Evil Saiyan Empire had arrived, however; they could feel the sense of dread that blanketed the planet. The Saiyans had arrived, the known and feared world destroyers of the galaxy. The Saiyan pods crashed into the surface of the world, creating huge holes in the surface. Soon the doors started to open and the Saiyans stepped out of their respected pods. Vegeta lifted himself from the ground in order to determine the Arlian threat, no doubt their warriors where on their way to subdue the enemy.

Vegeta studied his Scouter for a moment as he obtained the estimated threat level. “The cockroaches come out of their holes. Imagine that.” Vegeta said in response as the insect warriors approached. They rode on huge praying mantis looking creatures and attempt to parley with Vegeta. “Space invaders! You are trespassing on our colony! Stand down an surrender or we will destroy you!” The Captain of the guard said as they surrounded the three Saiyans. Vegeta had to grin in response while blue flames gathered around his body in perfection. “Attack!” Vegeta said as the two Saiyans engaged the enemy. Vegeta flew up the center and struck the Captain from his mount sending him to the ground. Vegeta then grasped the Captains mount in his powerful hand and squashed its exoskeleton instantly; the insect’s throat exploded in green puss and fell to the ground dead. Vegeta laughed in response. “Squashing cockroaches is a pleasant surprise. Insect exterminators of the galaxy.” Vegeta smirked in response as he watched the other two Saiyans eradicate Arlian guards.

The planet was swelling with Arlian forces as the insects crawled from every portion of the planet in response to the intruders. Vegeta had greatly under estimated the total population from space. Though no threat to the Saiyan Warriors in one on one combat, their numbers were dramatic and could be costly with the limited forces that they landed with. Vegeta flew upwards into the air where he studied the planet with his Scouter. Someone had planned this event in case the colony was discovered. No doubt these beings were transplanted to this colony the same way the Saiyans transfer the Saibaman from place to place. Vegeta scowled in defiance at the insects as they kept erupting from the barrows below the surface. Was this Malak’s doing? No, was the first impression that came to Vegeta’s mind. Malak was a genetically similar to Vegeta in his strategy and tactics. Vegeta watched the 3rd Class Warriors battle with the bug creatures; each wave that was silence presented a new horde of small deviant creatures that were content on destroying the invaders. Vegeta powered up while in the air, surrounding himself with energy field of blue flames.

Large barrages of energy blasts were launched from the sky. Energy Dan was released on the unfortunate army of insects below, as they were literally shattered into a thousand pieces. The yellow energy beams cracked into the surface below, creating large sized potholes in the planet surface as insect creatures were launched into the air from the impact. When the smoke and fog of war cleared, there was a massive pile of insect limbs and bodies that had been piled together from the attack. The remaining insects made a tactful retreat, burrowing themselves back into the many tunnels that led into the core of the planet. Vegeta landed in the middle of what was now a graveyard of Arlians before he glanced around to take notice of where the rest had retreated too. “The cockroaches have retreated to the Hive, no doubt that is where we will find our answers. I want to know how these arachnids made it to this planet and who brought them here.” Vegeta said clutching his fist. The Saiyans started their travel into one of the massive caverns that led into the Warrens below. Each tunnel was created and crafted ten times the size of you’re average humanoid tunnel. “Something huge must have made a tunnel this size. Be on you’re guard. There is no telling what bug species will have to squash inside this chamber.” Vegeta said.

The Chamber let deeper in the planet, the more distance they covered the warmer it became. It made sense that the insect race would barrow to warm ground in order to breed from its numerous hatcheries that were kept inside the planet core. Vegeta reached up to wipe the sweat from his eyebrow as the fierce warriors continued on heading from cavern to cavern, finally the scenario changed. They found themselves in a large room surrounded by numerous white eggs. The worker caste of Arlians were carrying them from the breeding chamber and storing them in the hatchery. Vegeta took a moment to step over towards the hatchery and studied the eggs that sat in some incubation holders. The holders provided warmth preventing the eggs from becoming cold and infertile. Vegeta had to sneer for a moment and reached up with a single hand making a gun with his finger. He slowly fired some finger blasts that splattered the eggs before they could hatch one at a time. He managed to destroy nearly a dozen before the workers noticed what he was doing. “Intruders in the hatchery! Protect the eggs!” The worker said in response while someone ran down the cavern deeper into the planet in order to alert the Royal Guards. Vegeta turned around sharply and landed a punch to the workers face. The worker was launched through the cavern wall and out the other side dead on impact.

Anther skirmish would soon follow as the Worker Caste of Arlians attempted to subdue the intruders. They were mere playthings to the Saiyans. Limbs were broken and upright removed and the Worker Caste was completely destroyed within a number of minutes. Vegeta found a sole survivor and grasped it by the throat lifting it into the air. “I want to know how you came to be on this world. You’re going to tell me or I am going to break you’re slimy neck!” Vegeta said holding the creature into the air, dangling it in his grip. The Arlian attempted to clutch Vegeta’s arm in and attempt to loosen his grip to speak. The insect pointed to the nearby tunnel to the right. At that, Vegeta crushed its throat in one single squeeze, breaking it in a quick snap. Vegeta tossed the corpse to the side with the rest of the destroyed hatchery, before they left; they set fire to the chamber killing all the youth in their egg state.

At this point the Royal Guard had been alerted to the invasion and prepared to attempt to repel the Saiyan Force. As Vegeta and the others stepped into the cavern that led to the Royal Chambers. A garrison of the Elite Guard met them. These Arlians fashioned swords and spears as weapons. Their armor was decorated with House Symbols of the various factions they represented. Vegeta couldn’t help but smirk as he activated his Scouter and started to scan for power readings. “So this is the best you have to offer. How sad.” Vegeta said as the Scouter continued to manifest their power readings. They averaged around 1,500 or a little lower for most of them. “I hate to mention that you don’t stand a chance cockroaches. I suggest you take me to you’re leader.” Vegeta said. The Royal Ground was the proudest species of Arlians on the planet they would not allow the defilement of their nest to go unpunished. The lead Elite Guard attacked Vegeta with his sword, to his surprise Vegeta caught the blade in his hand holding it tightly. “What did I just say. You’re a fly and I am the spider. Learn as you die fool.” Vegeta said as put his palm to the Elite Guards chest and fired and energy blast straight through his chest. The blast destroyed anther Guard standing behind them and struck the wall in an explosion. Vegeta flung the sword in the air only to catch it in his hand. In a quick movement Vegeta slashed two Elite Guards into pieces and impaled anther. They fell to the ground at the same time.

The Royal Guard was all that remained only two of them that had not been destroyed by Vegeta. “So I see we still aren’t willing to cooperate.” Vegeta said as he sidestepped and planted a square kick straight to the Royal Guards head. The kick disconnected the Guards head as it flung through the air and landed on the ground. The last Royal Guard ran into the depths of the Council Chamber scared for its own existence at this point. Vegeta had to laugh before he crushed the exoskeleton of the insect’s head beneath his foot. He glanced around to the surface beneath them as his Scouter started to move up in numbers. It was reading a power of 3,200 moving beneath the surface of these caverns it caused him to raise an eyebrow. “Now what to you suppose that could be. The mother of all cockroaches?” He explained while he kept viewing through his Scouter in order to track its whereabouts. Vegeta continued heading into the Council Chambers where they might find the leader of these Arlians who were on this colony for whatever reason.

Vegeta and the others had dispatched the Royal Guard and the Elites that were guarded with protecting the Queens Royal Chambers. Throughout the colony angry cries of discontent had been sounded. The insect species was disgruntled with its many failures. They had failed to repel the Saiyan force that invaded their colony and now it was up to the Queen herself who was mostly defenseless to bargain with the Saiyan Warriors. The Saiyans approached the inner chamber that was housed with what appeared to be hundreds of eggs that had been produced by the Brood Mother or also known as the Queen. The Queen was ten times the size of a normal Arlian and hosted a body size that could easily be twenty times larger. The remaining Arlians who had survived the Saiyans formed a protective wall around the Queen in a last ditch effort to protect her from the sadistically Saiyans. Vegeta had to smirk at the insects as they attempted to erect a wall around their beloved Queen. Vegeta stopped ten feet from the small-assembled army and consider to himself. Why not be diplomatic? They were going to die regardless of the answer. He might as well seem reasonable. The Saiyan Warrior stepped forward in order to announce Vegeta.

“You stand before Prince Vegeta, son of King Vegeta, supreme ruler of the Saiyan Empire.” The Saiyan Warrior said to the Arlians. “Show him the proper respect that he is due and perhaps we shall spare you’re miserable lives.” The Saiyan Warrior suggested. Vegeta liked the spunk in the recent warrior before he glanced to the Arlians that had survived. “Well, I don’t have all day. Answer my questions and maybe I’ll spare the rest of you’re pathetic colony. I want to know how you got here. I know you couldn’t have developed space travel on your own. Someone helped you get here. I want to know who and why.” Vegeta said stating his demands to the Arlians. One of the Arlian males stepped forward. He was dressed in royal clothing for an Alrian. He must have been one of there nobles or someone of status. “Greetings mighty Prince, I am Arlus. I speak for the Queen on matters of military strategy and I have been authorized to answer you’re questions.” Arlus said in response while Vegeta merely watched him. “A space traveler came to us while we were on Arlian, our home planet and offered us a chance to spread our species throughout the galaxy. In return, this traveler asked for one of our Queens to be given to him in return. We agreed to his terms and he gave him one of our Queens along with several dozen workers.” Arlus said in response. “He also requested to take genetic samples from our species, he claimed that he was searching into ways to cure several genetic disorders our species suffers from.” Arlus said in response.

“Who? Who was it that came to you and made these requests!” Vegeta demand the answer in response. “Why it was you, esteemed Prince. You came to us, almost two years ago and asked that we honor the agreement you set out before us. We don’t understand why you are now attacking us when we agreed to you’re terms.” Arlus said in response. “What? That can’t be possible. I’d never make an agreement with Arlians, especially against my own Empire.” Vegeta said in response as he pumped his fist into the air and clenched. The other two Saiyans glanced at each other in disbelief, figuring it to be an Arlian trick at best while Vegeta looked puzzled for a moment. “You arrived with you’re half brother, Malak. You seemed to get along well for the best part. You were discussing ways to over through you’re fathers rule on Vegeta and then split the planet into East and West.” Arlus said as he explained the event to Vegeta. Vegeta scowled in response as he mentioned Malak. “Malak is dead I killed him along with his precious Rebellion. It’s over.” Vegeta said as he considered what he was being told. “Wait was they’re anyone else with Malak and myself?” He asked the Arlian. “Yes, a cloaked figure that did not relieve himself through the entire conversation.” Arlus said to Vegeta while the Prince continued to measure up the current situation. Vegeta was starting to follow the trend. His brother had been genetically engineered. Could it be possible that they had managed to create a clone duplicate of himself? The Prince was silent for a long moment.

Vegeta paused for a moment. “Where did they say they were going? Did you have any contact with them after the agreement? Did they have any bases here on the Outer Rim?” Vegeta asked Arlus. “We do not know. We have been sending our standard shipment of workers to a jungle moon know as Xur Prime. It is located in low orbit of a volcanic world yet it manages to maintain a pleasant climate due to its distance to the Red Star in the solar system.” Arlus said in response. Our Rebels now have ended, Vegeta thought to himself as he watched the Arlians for a moment. He was considering their fate despite there willingness to help. There was a chance that they would notify whoever it was that was here. He couldn’t take that chance as he watched them and smirked. “Thank you, you have been most helpful. Unfortunately, I can’t allow you to live. It’s too dangerous to my mission. I simply don’t try the inspect species. You’ll be going to the next dimension.” Vegeta said in response as he held up his palm and started to channel energy into his palm. Just then Vegeta noticed a huge spike in energy, it was coming from underneath them as he turned away from the Arlians and noticed that it registered nearly 3,000 and was rising. “What the!” Vegeta said while Arlus started to laugh in response. “Behold the pride of the Arlian race Prince Vegeta!” Arlus said in response while the Saiyans leapt into the air preparing to combat whatever it was that was tunneling through the ground towards their location. From the ground a massive creature erupted. It was the largest species of Arlian Vegeta had ever witnessed. It stood almost 30 feet in height.

“Look out!” Vegeta exclaimed as the creature snatched the two Saiyan Warriors directly from the air and feasted on their bodies. In a matter of seconds the Arlian monster had consumed both Saiyan Warriors making a meal out of each of them. Vegeta watched in horror as his escorts where eating right in front of him. “We have prepared for you’re 2nd coming Prince Vegeta. Now you will die with the rest of the Saiyans!” Arlus said in response as he moved to stand behind the Arlian warriors that protected the Queen. Vegeta scowled for a moment. This creature may have been a match for his escort, but it was no match for the Prince of planet Vegeta! Vegeta dodged a number of aggressive attacks from the creature before he caught one of its legs in his grasp and tore it straight from the creature’s body. A rush of brown fluid poured from the creature and it let loose a cry of pain. “What? No! This shouldn’t be happening. Prince Vegeta shouldn’t be this strong according to the genetic information we were given.” Arlus said as he soon headed towards the dark cavern in the corner of the room, leaving the Queen to her own defense. “Guards with me! Forget the others. We have more important things to protect!” Arlus said while Vegeta prepared to battle the creature. It was a clever ploy; arranged to give Arlus enough time to retreat. Vegeta had to find out what else Arlus was hiding, he seemed more intelligent than the other Arlians. Vegeta turned to face the creature that was one limb down at this point. “Did you really think that I would be destroyed by this pathetic creature Arlus! You under estimate my power!” Vegeta screamed out as he channeled a bright blue globe of energy that gathered to his body.

Vegeta came forward and disappeared before the creature’s eyes only to flank the beast from the side with a powerful uppercut that shattered its jaw. The creature well into the near cavern wall and smashed a huge whole in the infrastructure. The cavern shook from the violent blow and threatened to collapse around everyone in the cavern. “I’ll see everyone of you’re species hunted to the brink of the universe for this!” Vegeta said as he reached forward grabbing the creature by its tail and throwing it across the chamber into the opposing wall on the other side. The creature smashed into cavern wall once again bellowing in pain. Vegeta landed on the creature’s skull while it was lying in the prone position. His knee split the creature’s exoskeleton, which allowed fresh liquid to leak from the insect’s head, spraying in all directions before Vegeta leapt backwards, back flipping and landing on his feet. Vegeta brought his hands forward and launched an Energy Dan as dozens of powerful gold energy blasts crashed into the creature reducing it to ash. When the smoke cleared the creature had been destroyed, blasted into a thousand different pieces. Vegeta turned to regard the Queen. He wondered if she could be any use to him in hunting down Arlus, who had left her for dead with Vegeta.

Vegeta glanced over his shoulder to the Queen who was connected to a large body that she used to produce larvae from. Only a few workers refused to leave their Queen in her moment of greatest need. Arlus seemed to command the most respect from the Alrian faction. Vegeta approached the Brood Mother and considered his options. These tunnels could have lead anywhere but Vegeta suspected that Arlus would attempt to escape the planet. He had a feeling that the Arlian scientist had denied Vegeta information about his involvement in this treachery. His escorts had been devoured by that hideous creature that must have been harvested for almost a decade in order to achieve that massive size. Vegeta pulled his finger up to form it into a pistol and fired a single blast of energy. The blast connected with the closest Arlian worker and shattered the insect’s brain. Vegeta fired several more shots that were targeted at the remaining workers. Small concentrated energy beams struck the insects, creating small tiny holes in their bodies before they fell to the ground, smoke coming from their corpses. Vegeta levitated into the air to face the Queen on eye level in order to negate information from the Brood Mother that was responsible for the creatures that had called this planet home. “Give me what I want. Arlus has betrayed you and left you to die at my hands. Tell me where he is going and I will see to it that justice is served.” Vegeta said to the ugly looking creature.

The Queen communicated with Vegeta through telepathy. Its voice entered Vegeta’s mind and projected a number of thoughts and images. The Queen was able to project images of Arlus’s movements and even his current location at the very moment that they were having this conversation. Arlus was heading to a remote location hidden deep in the colony. There was a single pod spaceship that matched the description of a Saiyan pod that landed here sometime ago or was built for Arlus’s personal use. Vegeta allowed the images to move through his mind before he opened his eyes. He left the Queen to her own fate as he headed for the cavern that Arlus had traveled down. Along the way Vegeta noticed Arlian corpses in his path the further he went. It seemed that Arlus had destroyed an Arlians that got in his path, the Queen must have attempted to stop him from deserting her in this great time of need. Vegeta doubled his efforts to reach the location before Arlus could make an escape into space. The Saiyan Prince could be seen travelling down the tunnel as fast as he could. The deeper he went, the hotter it became as they closed the distance between the surface and the planet core. Vegeta could see the rear guard of Arlus up around the corner he was closing in on the insect scientist and he wanted answers. Arlus stopped as he saw Vegeta closing in on them and needed to buy himself more time. “Guards! Destroy the Saiyan Prince! Whoever destroys him will become a wealthy Arlian!” Arlus said as he entered a smaller cavern allowing his guards to stall Vegeta.

Vegeta met the Arlian Guard head on. They were the remaining Arlian Elite Guards that had followed Arlus rather than protecting their Queen. Vegeta slammed into the barrage of guards and a battle took place. They wielded two-sided spears that could do a lot of damage even to Saiyan Armor at close range. Vegeta grasped one of the spears from the Elite Guard and used it to decapitate a single guard. The insects head rolled free from its body and hit the ground, leaving a headless corpse to roam for a moment, before it also fell to the ground dead. Vegeta wielded the spear with ease, waving it about in fluent motions that was perceived as finesse. He combated two at the same time, using the double bladed weapon to parry and attack at the same time. With an elegant leap into the air, Vegeta severed anther guards head from its own body. The battle continued leaving only a handful of Arlian Elite Guards remaining. Vegeta flung the spear into anther, allowing it to connect with the Arlians torso. The blade went in through the center of its chest and came out the other side, impaling the Arlian to the wall. With only two Elite Guards remaining Vegeta had to smirk in response. The first was disposed with an uppercut to the sternum that killed the Arlian on impact, crushing the bug’s exoskeleton from the outside inward. The last one tossed down his weapon and fled into the cavern running after Arlus begging for his help. Vegeta fired a simple blast of energy that crushed the creature from behind and consumed him.

Arlus was just about to reach the single Space Pod and he was overjoyed believing himself to have escaped the sadistically Prince of all Saiyans. A violent energy blast hit the ground in front of Arlus and sent him flying backwards onto his backside from the sheer wave that took him off his feet. By the time he realized what had happened, Vegeta was standing in front of him while he was lying on the ground. Arlus glanced up at the Saiyan Prince with a look of fear in his insect features while his mandibles moved back and fourth. Vegeta sneered looking down at Arlus for all his trouble. Vegeta formed his fingers and pointed it at Arlus’s shoulder. A small blast of blue energy came out which shattered Arlus’s shoulder blade, a green icky substance splashed into the air as a result and Arlus howled out in pain. “You better start talking, you cockroach or I am might enjoy myself.” Vegeta said as he fired anther small blue energy blast that struck Arlus’s other shoulder, creating the same effect as Arlus started to bleed his insect vile over the ground beneath him. Arlus watched the Saiyan Prince and had no other option but to tell Vegeta what he wanted to know.

“A Saiyan came to me and asked me to help him slice genetic code, specifically, Saiyan genetic code. He wanted to get rid of King Vegeta and seemed to harbor some ancient grudges with you’re father. His plan was to clone you and then assassinate you once the clone was complete. But something went wrong, Malak was created from you’re genetic design rather than a duplicate. The 2nd attempt produced the desired result with minor complications. You’re clone has only one flaw that is different than your own Vegeta. Malak was the first attempt at genetic cloning, we were attempting to recreate you Vegeta, but for some reasons we gave birth to Malak, however; the 2nd clone we created is identical to you in every way Vegeta.” Arlus said in response. Vegeta looked enraged and surprised at the same time. “Where is he! Where is this clone you created. There is only one Prince of the Saiyans! You miserable little fly, I am going to squash you as a result. How dare you betray the Saiyan Empire!” Vegeta said in response as he took anther step forward to close the distance between himself and Arlus. “Wait! I only did what I had to! They would have killed me Vegeta!” Arlus said as he slid back to the wall behind then, leaning on the wall while he bled. “What do you think I am going to you? You multiple eyed bastard!” Vegeta said as his hand came to Arlus’s throat while the creature trembled. “Good bye Arlus.” Vegeta said as a loud crack was heard in the room and then silence.

After Vegeta had crushed Arlus he went over towards the singular pod and opened it climbing inside to review the stored information in the database. The coordinates that had been pre-plotted indicated that the ship had visited the Xur Moon many times in the last month. The coordinates indicated a structure hidden within the jungle that looked to be a landing pad of some sort. Vegeta then accessed the audio recordings that Arlus had obtained. It appeared that Arlus had been spying on the cloning process and stored the recordings for future use or possible blackmail. Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest while he listened to the audio recordings. His ears were shocked to his own voice speaking to unfamiliar voice in the background. It appeared that Arlus was telling the truth about their clone project being a success. “Yes of course my Prince. Everything is proceeding as plan, soon we will be able to depose you’re tyrannical twin brother and return you to you’re rightful place among you is people. You’re twin brother will prove no match for you once I am done training you. You must understand the imposter that he is and the fact that he has stolen you’re rightful claim to the Throne of planet Vegeta.” The voice said in the audio recording. Vegeta scowled for a moment and his fists tighten in anger as a result.

“This seems to impossible to believe that my own twin brother had me exiled to this moon along with you. Surely, he is not as cruel and unforgiving as you make him out to be. And my father, King Vegeta you said his name was? Why would he not recognize me as his legitimate son and ruler to planet Vegeta.” The cloned duplicate of Vegeta said to the shadow figure. “Because my young Prince. He fails to recognize those that would pose a threat to him. You’re twin brother poses no real threat to anyone that is why he allowed him to exist on the planet while he sent you out into the dark darkness of space. He has exiled many of our people in an attempt to satisfy his own paranoia. He believes that one day someone may rise up against him and defeat him. Such is the things only a coward would ever fear. But together, we can stop him my Prince and you’re twisted twin brother. We can make Vegeta a better world.” The voice said in the background. This treachery had gone to far, Malak was bad enough, now a duplicate clone of himself that had been genetically created. Vegeta was pissed to say the least, he thought this was the end of the cloning process and the end of the war. He continued to listen for awhile longer while he punched up the coordinates for the Xur Moon, located in low orbit of a dead planet. The perils of the jungle where many, Xur housed many giant predators that were deadly even to Saiyans. Vegeta closed the pod door and sealed himself inside while he prepped for launch. “Welcome Prince Vegeta. It has been 23 days since you’re last departure. Identification scan complete, preparing for departure to Xur Prince.” The computer said recognizing Vegeta’s genetic display.

Vegeta leaned back into the pod as it launched from inside the surface of the colony and burst through the surface of the world heading up into the atmosphere. The audio recordings continued to play while Vegeta listened. “No my Prince! You simply don’t understand the true nature of you’re father. Believe me, he would kill you on sight! Look what you’re brother did Malak! He killed him without remorse and will do the same to you, if we do not strike before they learn of you’re existence.” The shadow figure said. “I don’t believe you. You’re trying to manipulate me I can sense it. You’re hiding something from me Peralus.” The Duplicated Clone said to Peralus. “You been hiding something all along and I want to know what it is!” The Clone said to Peralus. There is a long silence in the background and the sound of a fight breaking out followed by a large blast of energy. “This is the 3rd time I have attempted to duplicate Vegeta’s genetic structure and the third time I have failed. Each duplicate refuses to obey me, no matter how hard I try to manipulate the subject. The closest completion was Malak, which unfortunately was no match for the true Saiyan Prince. Prepare the Cloning Chamber! We need to make anther attempt at cloning Prince Vegeta.” Peralus said and a number of figures can be heard shuffling a body out of the room in the background. Vegeta had to smirk at the fact that his genetic duplicates failed to be manipulated by Peralus, this fact brought great delight to the Saiyan Prince as the pod launched towards the Xur Moon, now freely moving through space.

Vegeta listened to the Audio Recording as he could hear the Chamber door opening and Peralus walking into a science lab from the background sounds of scientist meting in the genetic code of Saiyan (DNA). “What is the success rate in applying the correct genetic code for Prince Vegeta?” Peralus asked the scientist. “Only 34% adaptation rate, at this rate, it will take nearly a full year to complete anther identical clone of the Saiyan Prince.” The scientist said. “We don’t have a year! By now Vegeta probably knows or suspects of our interference. Dammit! Do I have to do everything.” Peralus yelled out over the audio recording. There is then silence in the room before the scientist start bickering amongst each other, attempting to make things work at a faster rate of development. Peralus is heard heading out of the main chambers and into the hallway where he is greeted by anther unfamiliar voice. “Lord Peralus! We have trouble sir. Arlus’s space pod is on its way here sir. A full month ahead of schedule and hasn’t announced that he would be arriving early.” Peralus smoothed his hand over his chin and considered the possibility. “No need for concern. The insect might have some good news to report for once. Prepare the normal landing sequence for the bug. I will be along shortly to see what Arlus wants.” Peralus said and the figure bowed to him before heading off to the landing pad.

Vegeta closed the Arlus’s spy channel and prepared himself to land on the Xur moon. Peralus, if Vegeta had recalled correctly he was exiled by his father nearly ten years ago for treason. Arlus had attempted to incite an uprising and overthrow the Central Government on planet Vegeta, a fact that is still well known on planet Vegeta. Vegeta’s pod crashed through the atmosphere of the moon and was headed directly for the landing pad. Within moments his pod crashed into the landing pad that had been provided for escort. Boy where they in for a surprise. The pod door opened slowly and Vegeta placed a hand on the frame before stepping out onto the landing pad.

The pod landed in the center of the land pad, which created a small disturbance in the general area. Tremors announced the arrival of Prince Vegeta while the door opened and Vegeta stepped out on the jungle world. A Saiyan Warrior had been waiting at the platform in order to escort Arlus to Peralus once he had announced his intentions and reason for being on Xur. When Vegeta stepped from the pod and onto the platform the Saiyan Warrior was in shock and awe at the presence of the Prince. “Prince Vegeta!” The Saiyan Warrior said in mere surprise at the sudden turn of events that bewildered him. Peralus had been listening in on his Scouter that acted as a communication device. At those words his eyes flared open in fear. Vegeta had discovered them in the Outer Rim and must have disposed of Arlus if he is here now. It was to early for this to be happening they had not successful cloned Vegeta in order to place a puppet Prince on the throne. Vegeta stood after crouching to remove himself from the pod while he smiled in response to the Saiyan Warrior. “Well, I see you are familiar with me traitor. Tell me. What on earth possessed you to betray your own people and plot the destruction of the Royal Family known as Vegeta?” Vegeta asked a mere question and expected an answer in response. The Saiyan Warrior took a few steps back in fear as Vegeta approached him.

“Tell me what could be so critical to forge an alliance with Arlians and construct cowardly clones in a scheme to steal my rightful spot as Prince. You must be Peralus’s son, who was exiled along with his Peralus for attempting to overthrow the Saiyan government. Tell me, how did you manage to obtain my genetic code and the research needed to make identical clones?” Vegeta said as he continued to move forward, cutting the distance between himself and the Saiyan Warrior. The Saiyan Warrior turned and attempted to fly into the distance to escape Vegeta while in flight he was flanked by Vegeta, who pummeled him with a powerful overhand right that sent the Saiyan Warrior rolling to the ground. Vegeta then landed onto the Saiyan Warrior knee first into his stomach breaking his ribs upon impact from the tremendous blow. Vegeta stepped back for a moment and scowled. “Weak, just like you’re father. It must run in the family.” Vegeta said as he held out his hand and prepared to finish the young Saiyan Warrior, just then Peralus made an appearance behind Vegeta. “Leave my son out of this Vegeta. You’re fight is with me.” Peralus said as he walked down a flight of stairs from the platform and removed his cloak in the process. He tossed his weighted clothing to the ground along with his Scouter as they items piled up along the platform.

“It has taken me months to lure you out from underneath the protection of planet Vegeta. Even if you have foiled my plans at every turn I will exact my revenge here and now and then deal with you’re treacherous father.” Peralus said, as he assuming a fighting stance, should Vegeta close to attack him. Vegeta kicked the Saiyan Warrior on the ground off the platform. The youthful Saiyan landed on the ground in a heap of pain, curling around himself on the ground while Vegeta watched Peralus his eyes narrowing on his enemy. “You were behind this entire scheme. Rather than fight my family in the open like a true warrior, you hid yourself away and plotted my destruction. You’re families name will be remembered with shame for all eternity.” Vegeta said as his Scouter started to estimate Peralus’s statistics. Something was wrong with the Scouter it failed to determine an accurate reading of Peralus’s power level. Each time the numbers would stabilize then swarm in different directions, making it impossible for Vegeta to determine what he was dealing with. “Interesting, you have learned to manipulate the Scouter Peralus. I wonder what else you have learned in you’re many years in exile. Apparently you learned how to hide extensively. In fact you have mastered the art of hiding underneath rocks with numerous other insects.” Vegeta said a grin shining on his face.

“You have no idea, my long Prince, but you soon shall see for yourself.” Peralus said as he concentrated for a moment and split into two beings. He used the Deca Form to duplicate himself into two opponents. Vegeta would have to contend with attacks from two versions of Peralus. Vegeta sneered as a result. “So what? Two of you just mean's you’re twice as weak. Bring it on.” Vegeta said in response. The two versions of Peralus rushed Vegeta and a fight soon broke out. Vegeta was barely able to keep pace with the two adversaries as he swayed in an out of a mixture of attacks. Vegeta attempted to counter many of the attacks, which were evaded much to his displeasure. Finally, Vegeta was able to catch both of them off guard with a power burst of energy that sent both opponents reeling. He grabbed Peralus’s duplicate and flung him into the Peralus causing the two to smash into the ground and remerge into a single form. Vegeta stood before Peralus and glared at him. “I hope for you’re sake you can do better than that old man.” Vegeta said watching his opponent. He allowed Peralus to step back to his feet and assume a fighting position once again in the process.

Peralus launched himself as Vegeta only to disappear and reappear behind him. He delivered a well-placed kick the middle of Vegeta’s back, which sent the Prince forward. Vegeta had been caught off guard and hadn’t expected Peralus to hold that kind of speed. Vegeta planted his hand to the ground and quickly flipped into the air before performing a number of black-flips across the terrain to gain distance from Peralus. Once he had reached his location he found that Peralus was behind him again, he hadn’t been able to track his movements. A healthy fist connected with Vegeta’s chin and sent him flying across the top of the ground at a violent pace. Vegeta stabilized himself in midair and came to a complete stop only to find Peralus launching a number of small energy blasts in his direction. Vegeta deflected a majority of them before he was forced to dodge the incoming fire. In the end, a half-dozen of the minor blasts managed to strike Vegeta, damaging his Saiyan Armor in the process. Vegeta hovered off the ground and was starting to become annoyed with this old Saiyan. “Well done Peralus. I see you’re exile wasn’t a complete waste.” Vegeta humored the old man. “Do you think it will be enough? I doubt it.” Vegeta said with a knowing gleam on his face.

Vegeta gathered energy around his body, powering-up while preparing his next attack. Peralus did the same, as an aura of golden energy gathered around his body. The two both performed Energy Dan; each Saiyan erupted with a barrage of small energy blasts at each other. The beams collided at certain points, creating small explosions from the destructive energy coming together at certain points. Vegeta moved and fired small blasts of energy that Peralus managed to dodge and launch his own attack in return. The surrounding landscape was devastated by the powerful blasts that wrecked the surface and the entire landing pad. When they both had exhausted their attacks, neither had managed to hit the other. Vegeta merely watched Peralus with a calm expression for a moment.

Vegeta watched Peralus for a long moment after the exchange. It seemed that Peralus had been using Xur to increase his skills dramatically. Vegeta remembered Peralus being much weaker than the fighting skills the Old Saiyan had managed to display. Peralus however, had no intentions of stopping the fight any time soon. He was determined to reclaim his families honor from the hands of Vegeta. There were so many Saiyans scattered throughout the universe that keeping a recorded history of lineage was becoming near impossible. The landing pad had been reduced to mere rubble and to the side, Peralus’s son lay unconscience for the time being. Peralus moved forward after performing a small power-up maneuver, temporally increasing his speed greatly. Vegeta lunged forward and countered Peralus as the two exchanged a number of incredible blows. They’re combat shook the ground and produced earth-shattering sounds at the impact of their mighty fists. After exchanging a number of brawl maneuver’s, Vegeta leaped caught Peralus with a knee to the sternum and leapt into the air above Peralus.

Vegeta grinned looking down at Peralus. “To slow old man.” Vegeta said as he gathered two vibrant balls of energy in the palms of his hands and brought them together. This ignited an incredible blast of energy at point blank range. Peralus crossed his arms over his face in an attempt to block the powerful blast. When the blue ball of energy hit Peralus, it exploded violently, causing the ground to shatter around Peralus and a crater to form in the surface of the planet. Dust became apparent as dust trails launched in every direction at great speed creating a vortex of wind. Vegeta hovered in the air while he watched for signs of Peralus when the dust cleared Peralus was bleeding from his shoulders and down his powerful forearms. The blast had clearly damaged him, it was difficult to estimate to what degree Peralus was injured but, it gave Vegeta great pleasure to see Peralus bleed. “Look’s like I score first blood.” Vegeta said as he launched himself forward and connect his head with Peralus’s; the leaping head-butt launched Peralus backwards and through a number of large trees, clearing out everything in his path. Vegeta planted his feet heavily into the ground and started launching small energy blasts at Peralus while he was flying in midair uncontrollable. The Energy Dan blasts were near homing blasts that followed Peralus even while he was launched through the forest. The blasts crashed into Peralus, burying him underneath the surface in a vast crater.

Vegeta landed on the ground and started walking towards Peralus who was climbing out of a large crater in the surface. The Saiyan Armor he was wearing had been damaged, the shoulders had been completely blown off along with the left part of his chest being revealed after the chest plate been blown straight off. Peralus managed to come to one knee before he had to wipe the blood from his eyes. Meanwhile, it had given Vegeta enough time to close the distance. When Peralus glanced upward he was met with the healthily boot of Vegeta, which caught him square in the face. Peralus skipped around the ground like a pebble; finally he landed almost 100 feet away from Vegeta. Vegeta once again took his time in closing the distance on Peralus, who was losing energy rapidly at this point. “I’d say this is the end of the road Peralus.” Vegeta said as he moved slowly towards Peralus. Peralus forced himself to his feet at this point in pain. However, Peralus’s son had been listening to the painful admission of his fathers beating and his sub-conscience mind was starting to react. The young Saiyan was starting to gather energy that appeared on Vegeta’s Scouter. Vegeta glanced away from Peralus to glance to the youthful Saiyan who was gathering energy while lying prone on the ground.

Vegeta watched the youthful Saiyan for a moment. His power was continuing to grow despite reaching beyond 3,000 estimate total power. Vegeta raised an eyebrow in response and continued to watch. He wanted to know the depths of Peralus’s son’s power that seemed to be increasing the more his mental state changed. “So Peralus, what is this? You’re son?” Vegeta said in response while Peralus lunged forward and attempted to punch Vegeta in the face. Vegeta caught the blow with ease and delivered an elbow strike that shattered Peralus’s arm. It fell limp from the impact; his left arm was entirely useless. Peralus howled in pain and fell back to a single knee. “Please Vegeta. Spare him, he is to young to be any threat to you or you’re father.” Peralus said while the youthful Saiyan continued to gather energy, which had stopped around 5,000 and stabilized. Vegeta looked in surprise as the Scouter finally stabilized on a true power reading. “Ragnar! Run son!” Peralus said holding his limp arm in his hand while Vegeta backhanded Peralus, sending him to the ground in response. Ragnar exploded in an emotional outrage, which channeled energy in all directions. In a blinding flash of speed he charged Prince Vegeta and smashed into him, sending the two into midair.

The enraged Saiyan clashed with Vegeta in midair in response and a furry of blows where exchanged on either side. Few of blows were dodged, producing a lot of totaled damage on each side. To Vegeta’s surprise, the young Saiyan was only getting stronger as the battle was carrying on. Something seemed strange about the energy that Ragnar channeled, it seemed familiar to Vegeta in some sense. Finally the battle was halted in mid-air, Vegeta had got the worst of the exchange as bruises appeared on his face and his armor showed signs of taking damage. Vegeta noticed that Ragnar lacked a tail that all Saiyans usually obtained since birth. “What is going on here. I was reading his power level at no greater than 500 before and all of sudden it increased times ten.” Vegeta said to himself while he watched Ragnar hover in the air. His entire body covered in gold energy that was gathered around his body. His muscle mass had increased from before and his speed seemed to have gone up significantly. Ragnar soon powered up and launched himself forward, Vegeta prepared for anther round with the youthful Saiyan.

Vegeta and Ragnar clashed in midair once again. The planet trembled at the collision of there two powerful auras. No matter how hard Vegeta tried, Ragnar was one step ahead in his emotional state of anger. Ragnar’s power continued to increase the longer the battle continued. It was as if his body was a furnace that kept producing energy in response to a certain stimuli. The battle was taken high into the atmosphere. The only thing that was detectable was the small shimmer of light high in the sky. There was a fierce battle ranging high from the planet surface as the two Saiyans indulged in violence. A large boom that sounded like thunder brought the confrontation to a halt as Vegeta was launched towards the planet surface from high altitude. Vegeta had been on the losing end of the exchange once again as he fell uncontrollable towards the planet. Right behind him a golden stream could be seen, Ragnar was closing in on Vegeta quickly. Vegeta had predicted that Ragnar couldn’t maintain this level of power forever, he only needed to hang on until his body couldn’t take in any more energy.

Ragnar slammed into Vegeta while he was falling to the surface. The impact created anther violent boom over the terrain before Vegeta smashed through a nearby mountain. His body smashed through the interior of the mountain and out the other side finally connecting with the surface. His back met the surface of the planet and he was dragged nearly 100 feet before he came to a stop. A large trail trailed behind him laced with small traces of blood from the damage Vegeta had taken at the hands of Ragnar. Ragnar had lost sight of Vegeta for the time being and he had long since abandoned his Scouter. Vegeta crawled away from the rubble that he was underneath and hid himself behind what was left of the fallen mountain. He was planning a strategy to deal with the enraged Saiyan. Vegeta clicked his Scouter to get a new estimated level on Ragnar. He found that Ragnar had advanced to nearly 8,000 in total power. Vegeta clenched his fist in pure anger at the turn of events while he remained hidden. The young Saiyan couldn’t continue to fight at this level for an extended period of time. Vegeta estimated that it was a burst of energy, brought on by his emotional state.

Ragnar fired a powerful energy blast the remaining mountain range, which smashed it into a thousand pieces. Vegeta dove out of the way and leapt up into the air mixing in with the smoke brought on by the dust storm of the blast. Vegeta disappeared in the smoke while Ragnar glanced around looking for a target. Vegeta used the Scouter to locate Ragnar hidden in the dust storm. Vegeta dropkicked Ragnar in the back of the skull sending him forward. Ragnar was then met with a direct punch to the face, which sent him back the other direction. In the end Vegeta had grappled Ragnar from behind and slammed him into the planet surface below creating anther small tremor in the planet's surface. Vegeta held out his hand, brining his other hand to his wrist in order to steady it before he fired a large blue blast of energy that collided with Ragnar who was attempting to break from the planet surface. The beam connected with its target and caused a huge explosion that erupted over the entire area. Vegeta landed on the ground, his Saiyan Armor had taken extensive damage from the magnitude of damage. Vegeta check his Scouter to study Ragnar's new power level while Ragnar slowly emerged from the surface of the planet. Ragnar seemed much weaker now after extending a lot of energy, despite holding a power level that was even higher than Vegeta’s for a time being.

Vegeta activated his Scouter once again studying the new power level, which Ragnar featured. The reading was dropping at a rapid pace. 5,000 then 4,000 and finally all the way down to 1,000 before Vegeta turned the Scouter off and grinned in response. “That was quite a show you put on Ragnar. Worthy of being called true Saiyan material. I find it hard to believe that you came from Peralus over there.” Vegeta said watching the Saiyan crawl on the ground towards Vegeta in a crippled state. His overpowering had taken its course; Ragnar now suffered the effects of his burnout. Vegeta watched Ragnar crawl towards him slowly. Vegeta was amazed that the young Saiyan Warrior was able to keep pace with Vegeta for so long. Vegeta took a few steps back, once the young Saiyan had closed the distance in a mocking display. “Just a little closer. Come on, you can do it.” Vegeta said in response while Peralus had managed to make it to his feet given the vast recovery time he had.

Peralus launched a concentrated ball of energy towards Vegeta while his back was turned. The Scouter activated as a response and Vegeta turned just in time to mount a defense. His hand came up in an arching motion and deflected the blast into the nearby hillside. Vegeta stared at Peralus for a moment in sheer hatred. Vegeta scoffed at Peralus and sprung into action coming forward with a leaping attack, which was followed by a smash from behind. Peralus was sent to the ground in a heap once again while Vegeta determine his power level as well. “I think I will spare you’re son Peralus. He might be useful in the future should I need some cannon folder for a mission. I am sure I can teach him all the things that you failed to.” Vegeta said with a sharp grin. “This is farewell old man.” Vegeta said as he held out the palm of his hand and blasted Peralus with numerous small energy blasts that shattered into the old Saiyans chest and head. In a matter of moments Peralus was dead from the harsh attack. Vegeta walked back towards Ragnar who was still barely hanging on to conscience thought.

Vegeta studied Ragnar while he was on the ground, humor apparent in his eyes while he crossed his arms over his chest. “So, you’re father has gone to the Next Dimension. Sorry to be the one to have to tell you. I am going to give you a choice. One I rarely give to Saiyans who fail. Come with me and live, stay here and die.” Vegeta said waiting for Ragnar to come to his decision. Vegeta wanted to know how far Ragnar could push himself, given the power he had witnessed already.

Vegeta lingered over Ragnar while the Saiyan decided his own fate. It was difficult to think of survival when the oppressor standing over him had just destroyed his father in such a brutal fashion. Vegeta raised his foot off the ground and stepped on Ragnar’s fingers very slowly, grinding his heel on Ragnar’s slender fingers in a back and fourth manner. Ragnar suffered pain and humiliation while his Saiyan blood boiled on the inside. It was times like this that Vegeta wished Raditz and Nappa where handy to take part in the fun. Degradation of the lower caste members was all to fun at certain points. Vegeta released his painful boot heel from Ragnar’s fingers and allowed him to be pain free for the moment. “You know Ragnar it pains me to admit this, but you are worthy of Saiyan blood unlike that disappointed of a father that raised you out here in the Outer Rim. Had he not rebelled against the Saiyan Empire, you would have made a fine Elite one day.” Vegeta said while he watched Ragnar struggle. Existence was such a fragile thing.

Ragnar still lacked the strength to stand. He slowly rose up to one knee resting most of his weight on a single knee while he breathed in and out. His exhaustion was apparent from his features to his breathing habit. “Why should I? You killed my father and eradicated our entire Rebellion.” Ragnar said in response while he tried to gather strength. He was hoping that he could summon the strength to enter an enraged state again. If he could just do it one more time he knew he could beat Vegeta. Vegeta grinned while watching Ragnar and used one hand to push on Ragnar’s shoulder, which caused Ragnar to fall back onto his back once again. “Look at you, how pathetic. You can’t even stand to defend yourself. Do you really want me to make this last an eternity?” Vegeta said in response while he reached down and grabbed Ragnar by the front of his armor, lifting him into the air. “I could squash you, just like that old man you called a father. Is that how you want to be remembered? Just anther worthless excuse of Saiyan blood? Think about what you are doing.” Vegeta said before tossing Ragnar to the ground again. His crippled body hit the ground in a thud.

Vegeta reached over to his Scouter and opened a direct link the ship from the planet. “This is Vegeta. Land the ship on my coordinates and prepare to escort a critical Saiyan to the Rejuvenation Chamber. The Outer Rim Rebellion is over. Announce our victory to King Vegeta and inform him of our return to planet Vegeta as soon as possible.” Vegeta said into Scouter while he glanced around, searching for any other signs of life on the planet. It seemed like the Rebellion had been squashed entirely at this point, yet Vegeta had to wonder about the possibilities that more insurgents existed on the Outer Rim. The massive Saiyan Warship could be seen descending through the atmosphere before it landed on the planet. A landing door opened and settled onto the ground where a number of 3rd Class Saiyans exited the ship and started to secure the area. Ragnar was loaded onto a stretcher and hauled into the ship where he would be placed in a Rejuvenation tank at once. Vegeta wanted to study Ragnar’s power in more depth at a later time. He couldn’t afford to put forth the time and effort at the moment in order to test the Saiyans true power and where the hidden source of energy had come from.

Vegeta kicked in the door to the Research Facility, once he was inside; he noticed the specimens that Peralus had been working on. Peralus had been capturing 3rd Class Saiyans and experimenting on them through the art of Genetic Cloning. Vegeta moved over towards the science station and accessed the databanks. The databanks listed a number of Saiyans that had been captured and their lineage, dating back to their first recorded ancestors. Peralus had been in the art of seducing and sedating Saiyans for almost a decade from the information that was stored within the databanks. Vegeta left the terminal in order to tour the facility looking for survivors or any other beings that might still be alive. Throughout the facility Vegeta found remains of Saiyans that did not survive the intense treatment that Peralus inflicted upon them. He scowled in response; this was no way for any warrior to die. After searching the confines for sometime, Vegeta found no other survivors, only corpses that lined the facility. Vegeta blasted the computers in the research facility until a small fire started to brew from the facility. Vegeta walked out the front door after setting fire to all the Genetic Cloning material, destroying it forever.

The risk of his family lineage being cloned any further had been stopped and perhaps order would now be restored to planet Vegeta with most of the Rebellion leaders destroyed or in exile. Vegeta walked over towards Peralus and kneeled down searching his body. Peralus wore a necklace around his throat that was the symbol of his family. Vegeta gave it a crude yank, removing it from Peralus’s throat along with a data disc that was hidden within the confines of Peralus’s weighted cape. If there were any more collaborators, perhaps they would be listed on the data disc that Vegeta found on Peralus’s corpse. Vegeta walked up the docking ramp and boarded the Saiyan Warship. “Get us off this moon at once.” Vegeta said as he headed towards Medical in order to see if Ragnar was regaining his strength. The Saiyan Warship soon lifted from the Xur Moon and broke through the atmosphere's surface, entering space once again. Vegeta entered Medical and stopped in front of Ragnar’s tank. Vegeta stared at the Saiyan for a long moment.

The Saiyan ship had been kept in good order while Vegeta had been absent on his mission. The Medical Bay had housed many Saiyan Warriors more than he recalled having assigned to this ship. Vegeta examined each tank and brought up the records for each Saiyan patient. It appeared that the ship had been picking up distress calls from Saiyan Outposts deep in the Outer Rim while Vegeta was away. Vegeta scowled in response and tossed the medical report across the room after he studied it. It seemed as if the perils of the Saiyan Empire would never end. Vegeta needed some time to himself in order to reflect on the current situation. Vegeta glanced inside the Rejuvenation tank that had housed Ragnar. He wanted to know how that 3rd Class Saiyan was able to increase his power at such a drastic rate. Vegeta paced around the Medical Bay before removing his Saiyan Armor and setting it on the table. He started reinforcing the damaged plates that had been damaged during his battle on Xur Moon. While Vegeta was working on restoring the plates in his armor, Zarus entered the Medical Bay. Zarus was in charge while Vegeta was on Xur Moon, the most experienced warrior only 2nd to Vegeta on the ship.

“Welcome back Prince Vegeta. The ship is operating as usual. We encountered a number of Alien Spacecraft at our Outposts located deep in the Outer Rim while you were away. After a brief battle we were able to destroy the mercenary ships and board several of them. They had been hired by Peralus to eliminate the eyes and ears of the Empire in the Outer Rim.” Zarus said while Vegeta was busy reworking his armor, restoring it to 100%. Vegeta held the armor up for a moment studying his handy work before he set it back down and placed his hands on his hips. “Peralus is dead, see that Saiyan over there? That is his son and he has an incredible strength to him that I haven’t seen in quite along time.” Vegeta said. “Ragnar seems to be able to increase his power level by concentrating his energy in moments of extreme emotionally challenge. His power level reached a maximum of near 10,000 before it started to fall dramatically from overuse.” Vegeta said. Vegeta turned to regard Zarus as the two exchanged looks of surprise. “I had the Saibaman chambers replenished with more powerful specimens. These were custom bred from the finest stock on Arlia.” Zarus said while Vegeta looked pleased. “Oh really? That will prove useful as it will take us awhile to return home if that is indeed where our next destination is.” Vegeta said.

“Recovery all Saiyans from the Outer Rim. All the scouting parties that have been sent out through the Rim need to return to the ship at once. Then we will decide our next course of action.” Vegeta said. “I doubt there is much more to find out here that we haven’t uncovered already.” Vegeta said. Zarus nodded in response while he glanced to Ragnar while he was being rejuvenated with Saiyan (DNA). “Where you able to determine what planet Peralus visited in order to hire the Alien Mercenaries? It could have been anyone of these distant Rim Worlds.” Vegeta said. Zarlus shook his head to indicate no. “We have been unable to determine where the Aliens were hired from. We suspect that it was Merso or somewhere out that way. There are a number of pirate bases and organizations that hail from that area.” Zarlus said. “A lot of bounty hunters and hunters in generally frequent the area. The jungle worlds are often the worlds, which call the most sport for hunting. The bigger the prey, the more glory to be had.” Zarlus said. “Things never change, its still all about size, imagine that.” Vegeta said. Zarlus seemed amused and bowed before heading out of Medical and made his way to the bridge to announce the immediate recall of all Saiyan forces spread throughout the Outer Rim.

Vegeta glanced to Ragnar’s tank before he also left the Medical Bay and made his to the Training Chamber, which housed the Saibaman that the Saiyan Warriors used to practice and hone their wonderful fighting ability. Vegeta stepped into the chamber and approached the computer console. The computer as usual sounded its acknowledgement of Prince Vegeta’s return. “Welcome back Prince Vegeta all simulations are running at 250% normal capacity. Level 5 safety restrictions have been removed as preprogrammed.” The computer said while Vegeta punched in the correct numbers to begin the training exercise. “Shut up, stupid machine.” Vegeta said while he activated the training protocol. Three Saibaman leapt from openings in the walls and formed a circle around Vegeta instantly as red lightening rotated around the room, allowing for the bare minimal light to illuminate the chamber. “Such ill-tempered creatures. No common sense.” Vegeta said as the three lashed out and attempted to strike Vegeta. All three of them missed as Vegeta moved to fast for the human eye to follow, moving at the speed of light. Each attack was dodged with ease as the three small creatures came for anther barrage of attacks.

These creatures proved little challenge ever since Vegeta was merely a boy. What he wouldn’t give to go back to those days, having Nappa at his side while they ruled the Saiyan race without equal. Vegeta blocked a tiny claw only to grapple the green creature by its throat and throw it into the other two, creating a bowling pin effect. The green goblins managed to get to there feet while Vegeta launched a small blast of energy that removed ones head straight from it’s shoulders. Vegeta came forward with a well-placed punch that shattered the others skull into pieces. The last remaining green Saibaman cowered in the corner while Vegeta took a moment to reflect on is fallen enemies. “Not even worth training in this chamber anymore. Such pathetic creatures.” Vegeta said as he held out two fingers and blasted the last Saibaman. Vegeta turned and left the chamber heading towards the Princes Quarters. Vegeta immediately laid down on the bed and closed his eyes he had been pushing himself so hard lately. Just then a communication came in; Vegeta could hear the sound from his Scouter indicating someone was attempt to send him a message. “Prince Vegeta, King Vegeta is requesting to speak with you. I have wired him into you’re private quarters.” Zarus said before King Vegeta came on.

“You have done very well my son. With the destruction of Peralus, the nobles of Vegeta have been reinforced that my rule is supreme. We should see no uprisings incited in sometime after such a victory. One that puzzled me, Zarlus reported that you are keeping Ragnar the son of Peralus alive? Kill him at once. He was born it a power level that could threaten the entire Saiyan species. On the day of his birth, he housed an unstable power level that ranged from a mere 50 to 15,000. It was said that he was born on the day of a comet that housed supernatural properties.” King Vegeta exclaimed. “Do as I tell you Vegeta. Destroy Ragnar before he can do harm to us all.” King Vegeta said as the communication window was close. Vegeta scowled in response. “You’re weakness is becoming most taxing father. You’re paranoia is unfitting of a king.” Vegeta said as he closed his eyes slowly.

Ragnar had been held in the Medical Bay under extensive guard. Inside the room a pair of 3rd Class Saiyan Warriors had been posted with orders to watch Ragnar at all times even while he was recovering. Ragnar had passed out hours ago and was in the process of being rejuvenated with Saiyan (DNA) which had flooded the tank and was soaking through his body. Ragnar entered a dream state while he was centered in the healing chamber. He had movements of lucid dreaming that he found impossible to determine between reality and hallucination. “Vegeta.” He mumbled underneath his breath as bubbles where produced from the breathing mask. His vital signs started to increase on the monitor, indicating that his heart rate had just increased dramatically. In his dormant state he dreamt about his father from a time long ago.

In his dreams, Ragnar was a small Saiyan child once again. He and his father had just been exiled from planet Vegeta and Peralus was conducting tests on Ragnar. Peralus had Ragnar laid out on the examination table while he studied his young son’s vital signs and his power attributes. “I don’t understand how this is possible. Moments ago he showed signs of being the strongest born Saiyan in existence, now it seems that he is one of the weakest.” Peralus said as he removed the clamps from Ragnar’s hands and placed them back on the table. “Ragnar, I want you to think my son. Can you remember anything from what happened before? When you destroyed the Saibaman I had created. You’re power had increased to over 10,000 which is astonishing, even if you are a Saiyan, you’re still just a child.” Peralus said. Ragnar merely latched himself to his father’s leg grappling on. Peralus had to smile and merely chuckle at the display before he reached down to quick the infant Ragnar up and carry him in his arms.

Peralus carried Ragnar outside to look at the stars where he pointed to a large red distant star that was far away. “Do you see that star Ragnar? That is the planet Vegeta, where you and I come from. One day we will go back to it.” Peralus said while Ragnar looked up into the sky, noticing the large red star that was out in the distance of the vast universe. Ragnar made the usual sounds a child would in response and Peralus seemed quite pleased with his son. “One day you will be the strongest Saiyan to ever exist Ragnar, I know this to be true. When you become a man even if something should happen to me, remember what I taught you about the Vegeta bloodline that rules Vegeta. Always trust in you’re instincts and remember who you’re true enemy is.” Peralus said to his young son before he carried Ragnar off to bed.

Inside the Healing Chamber, a light green glow had started to gather around Ragnar as his power started to focus itself. His wounds were healing twice the normal recovery rate and his power level was rising rapidly. The monitor was going off the charts as one of the Saiyan 3rd Class Guards came over to examine the monitor. “This can’t be. According to this, his power level just rose to 20,000 in a mere instant.” The Saiyan Guard said to the other before the pair started to study the monitor in front of them. Ragnar continued to pool enormous energy into the tank while his muscles increased in size and density. “Now its at 25,000!” The Guard exclaimed while both of them attempted to contact Vegeta. “Lord Vegeta we have a problem in the Medical Bay. Ragnar’s power has just jumped to 25,000. If he becomes conscience there is no way we can stop him! Lord Vegeta do you read me sir?” The Guard exclaimed into the communication system on his Scouter. Vegeta was out cold, having exerted himself on the long journey and his Scouter lay 10 feet away from him while he slept.

Ragnar’s power continued to ripple in result until his eyes flashed open in the tank. “VEGETA!” Ragnar screamed as the chamber her was held in exploded in all directions and Ragnar stepped onto the floor. His power had funneled into green aura of energy as he stood before the Saiyan Guards that were watching over him. Something in his demeanor changed as he grinned in a sadist fashion. “Die weaklings!” Ragnar said as he gathered a massive ball of green energy in his hand and slammed it into Guard #1. The energy disintegrated the guard on impact while Ragnar focused his attentions on the other Guard present. Ragnar grabbed the Guard in a grapple hold while holding a palm up to his chest. “Tell Vegeta, his days are numbered. I am going to come back and squash his little Empire along with his father.” Ragnar said as he blasted a green energy beam through Guard #2 and through him on the ground in critical condition. Ragnar blasted his way out of the Medical Bay and ran to the Docking Bay ripping the door straight from the hinges.

Ragnar slaughtered all the Alien workers in the Hangar Bay before he secured a small singular Saiyan Space Pod. “Until we meet again Vegeta. It won’t be long.” Ragnar said as he incased himself inside the pod and then launched himself from the Hangar Bay into space. Ragnar’s pod ignited and he plotted an unknown destination away from Vegeta. “Alert, Alert. Unauthorized departure has been reported.” The computer announced and Vegeta immediately awoke. “Bridge! Report!” Vegeta said after awakening to the sounds of chaos.
