Waking up always felt like pain, but I could feel my body growing more powerful.
Planet Vegeta. King Cold. Frieza. Legendary figures like Beerus, the Supreme Kai, and Whis.
Alright, focus. Stop worrying about the future. Change what you can see right now.
"Prince Vegeta, get up! It's time for your morning training!"
I got out of bed and put on my training attire, glancing back at the bed one last time. I'm coming.
Flying out of my room, I arrived in the hall.
"King Vegeta has ordered double training starting now. Every time you sleep, two assassins will be assigned to kill you. Whether you live or die… that's up to you. Though I recommend you place traps at your door."
He turned away. "Meet me at the training grounds."
Meet me at the training grounds."
Vrrrom! He vanished.
Before I leave this planet, I will for sure kill that dude.
Vroom.
"Start now! Kill Him!"
Four Assassins—too fast for me to even see—began circling me.
Alright, focus. Feel your ki. Feel the energy around you.
Four ki blasts—left, right, right, left! Dodge!
As soon as I moved, Assassin One rushed forward, grabbed my shoulder, and punched me.
"—"
Stay calm. If I let loose now, I'll die.
Blocking another punch, I charged forward. A typical feint to the left—my foot connected. Hook. A ki blast straight into his face.
Three remain.
They changed tactics, jumping outward—one covering my front, one my back. The last one… where was he? Did he hide his presence?
DODGE!
Up top—there he is!
Ki blast! He dodged!?
What are they doing? Why are they waiting for me to—
BLOCK!
Punch. Kick. Dodge.
Instinct took over. Countless fights. Same patterns, different rhythms. The third one was knocked out. The second was gasping for air.
Where is the last one? Charging up? No… he's waiting for something.
I gathered energy—the size of a volleyball, enough to destroy Earth—and threw it at him.
Let's see him dodge that.
When the dust faded, he was still standing, menacing… smiling.
"Not this time, Prince," he muttered.
Then he vanished.
ROAAARR!!! OOZARU FORM!
They're really going all out. Fine—so will I.
I tore off my shirt, spread my legs wide, hands were angled at forty-five degrees.
"COME!"
I stretched my hands forward.
Finally… I can pull this off.
KA—MEHAAAAAAAAAAAA
The last thing I saw was the giant monkey smiling.
"Tell the King… he passed."
Back in the throne room, King Vegeta paced back and forth, panic clear on his face. A call had just come in from King Cold—frieza personal guards would arrive tomorrow to oversee the planet and ensure everything was being conducted "properly."
"Damn you… all of you lizards just want control over this planet," King Vegeta snarled.
After a moment, his panic faded, replaced by a devious smile.
"No… perhaps this is the perfect opportunity. Clara, make sure everyone is on high alert. We cannot reveal anything—especially to those bastards."
"Of course, King Vegeta," Clara replied.
Dodge.
Grabbing the pillow, I clenched the shoulder of the person reaching for me and punched him, with ki embedded into the pillow.
A green aura spiked around me.
I'm tired of this. I'm going for real.
The second one rushed in at close distance. Mistake. Kill him—
I hesitated.
No… just knock him out.
I appeared in front of him and struck with my left leg, using all the strength I could muster—but holding back.
Splat
I really killed him
I had just killed a man who was trying to kill me.
What is this feeling creeping over me? Why am I feeling guilty?
No… root that out of you, Vegeta. No mercy for our enemies. Only death awaits those who stand before us.
The door opened.
My ki flared again.
A voice spoke. "You've finally grown, my son. You've learned that weakness is a liability—one your enemies will take full advantage of."
King Vegeta entered my room.
"Clara, come take care of this."
"Yes, King Vegeta."
With one swipe of her hand, the stains of blood disappeared in the room—everything except the blood on my face
This is your life now, Vegeta—get used to it," he said as he walked out.
Heads bowed in silence.
"Hmph… I can't believe we are here, in this filthy place."
"You bring me an assistant who knows everything?"
"Y-yes, my Lord."
He ran to Clara. "Hurry to Dodoria! one of the strongest beings on this planet—go!"
"Okay, I will," she said, and hurried off.
As she walked out, she spotted Lord Dodoria. "Lord, do you need anything?"
"Yes, monkey. Tell me everything that has been happening on this planet since my departure."
She began to explain. "The lady gave birth to a son whose power was 400 at birth. He should be sleeping in his chambers now—"
"Stop right there! This child, you say he had a power level of 400 when he was born?" he asked,
someone fast running toward the royal chambers.
"A presence entered my room—immediately my ki flared—Prince Vegeta, calm down! Frieza's personal assistants are here, and he wants to meet you. Put on your royal attire and hurry out."
"They really are here…" Vegeta muttered. The assistant she mentioned must be either Dodoria or Zarbon.
Placing his clothes on, he thought, I still haven't learned to hide my power level… guess I'm just going to—
"Wait! What is my power level now? PRINCE! Hurry! They are waiting!"
"Right, I'm coming."
walking over to the purple being—or whatever you could call him.
"So, you're the famous Saiyan, huh? Let's see if it's true."
He pulled out a scouter.
beep… beep… beep
"1,110. The Saiyan race has a strong young prince."
I studied him—he was someone I would definetly kill .
i could fill his evil hatred towards the saiyan race, waiting for someone to slip up.
Then suddenly—ki exploded.
What—this feels so overwhelming… I can't—
He grabbed his energy and threw it at me.
Not yet… not after all I've done! RAAAAAAHGGG!
"KEKEKE! Looks like the child can fight back!"
BOOM!
I flew all the way back into King Vegeta's chamber, slammed into the wall.
Wow… that much of a difference… and here I am now.
I am angry so angry crushed without even a chance to properly fight back
as blood began to trickle down his head he vowed in his heart i will kill that ugly bastard.
good job Dodoria you just added youself to the list of all the people i will kill once i become stronger. I will never forgive this .
"Mwahahaha! Is this all you've got, child? I guess Saiyans will always be just monkeys."
"Alright, we're done here. Report to Lord Frieza everything that happened."
"Yes, Lord Dodoria."
They got onto their ships and left.
Finally, the presence departed.
"Alright, everyone, go back to what you were doing," the commander stated.
He dared attack my son—the future King of the Saiyan Prince! The disrespect these lizards have shown is unfathomable," Frieza spat. "I will no longer merely complain. I will wait and seek my chance."
"Yes… hide in the dark and wait for your time."
"This will not end well. No… not even for you, King Cold."
"Clara, bring me to the 10× training room. I want to begin my training again." And Clara, clean up this mess, after make sure surveillance is high. We don't want any spies left behind—accidentally or otherwise.
Yes King Vegeta follow me please.
Somewhere, deep in space…
King Cold sat upon his throne in silence, listening to reports from his troopers about Planet Vegeta.
"They finally have someone worthy to speak to me. Even though he's a child, he showed true grit. That old brute will be removed."
A presence entered with commanding authority.
"Father, when will you finally give me planets to rule over? I have been training, and I have even surpassed my brother."
"Be patient, Frieza. Your time will come."
Silence filled the chamber.
Suddenly, an enormous surge of energy erupted.
"Look at me, Father! Golden tail and golden armor!"
"Golden Frieza… it seems you have grown stronger," King Cold acknowledged. "But there is more to ruling a planet than power alone. Once you have learned stillness and patience, come back to me…"
Boom!
Frieza stormed back to his chambers with grunts of frustration.
Somewhere in space, you could hear Frieza complaining.
"Those monkeys… when will my father destroy them and that filthy planet?"
Five years later
