3 Life On Planet Vegeta

On Planet Vegeta, the scenery of a beautiful desert landscape could be seen in its full beauty. The rising sun, the beautiful rocks and mountain ranges scattered across the land.

Truly... a beautiful thing to behold.

"Urrgh!!"

A child flies through the sky at a terrifying speed, smashing into a large butte and getting buried deep inside. The butte, unable to handle such an intense collision, collapsed in on itself and buried the child deep within.

"Geez, you sure are going hard on the little squirt today, Bardock."

"I know right? I'm starting to feel bad for the little guy."

"He can handle it. Quit your whining!"

"RAAAAAGH!!"

The three Saiyans turn their attention back towards the fallen child, seeing that he raised his power to blast himself out from underneath the rubble.

"See?"

Bardock looked at his child with a face that could only be described as pride, while the other two Saiyans just shook their heads at the kid's stubborn refusal to back down.

These two Saiyans are Fasha and Taro, two members of the low-class elite team known as Team Bardock.

Now free from the rubble, the child slowly rises up from the ground, reaching the altitude of where his father and the other two Saiyans were floating.

"That... all you got... Old Man?" The child goaded his father, panting throughout his words.

"This kid..." Bardock let out a smirk and dashed towards his son, the two clashing in a flurry of punches and kicks.

Meanwhile, one of the two observing Saiyans let out a sigh as these two fought.

"The squirt doesn't know his own limits..." Fasha seethed, having seen this battle one too many times before.

"What? You worried about him or something?" Tora teased the female Saiyan floating beside him.

"No. But he could learn to take a break. Look at him, he can barely stand!" Fasha exclaimed, pointing towards the bloodied child.

"Aw, look at Fasha, the ever doting aunt. Why don't you go a kiss it better? I'm sure that-"

Suddenly, they felt as if a danger signal went off in their heads and split off from each other. A yellow beam attack went by the middle of the two. If they had dodged a second later, they would've definitely been hit by the blast.

"Using my own move on me? You cocky, little brat..." They heard Bardock off in the distance.

"Damn... That was almost a trip to the Medical Machine..." Tora sighed out in relief before feeling danger once more.

"What was that you were gonna say before?" Fasha asked, cracking her knuckles.

Upon hearing her voice, Tora turned around and saw that Fasha had somehow gotten behind him during the confusion.

"Hey now... You aren't mad about a little teasing, are ya?" Tora asked, raising his hands in surrender.

She was indeed a little mad.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A loud smack echoed throughout the valley, which was then followed by a grunt of absolute agony.

"Damnit woman! Can't you see I'm injured enough?!" I yelled towards Fasha, rubbing the back of my head.

"Apparently not too injured to mouth off, ya brat!" She shouts, winding her hand back to hit me again.

"Enough! You'll get your chance tomorrow, Fasha." My father said, causing a slight shiver to run up my spine.

I slowly turn towards Fasha and saw that she had an evil looking smirk on her face.

"Hey, Old Man, you know that mother would be mad if I died..." I said to him, trying to get out of training with Fasha.

An angry Bardock is something that is very threatening to one's health, but an angry Fasha?

I wouldn't wish that on my...

Actually I would wish that on my worst enemy, but I wouldn't wish it upon myself.

"You'll be fine. One trip to the Medical Machine before we go home will fix you right up." He said before looking towards the woman who will subject me to her ire tomorrow.

"Probably..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We finally arrived home, seeing Gine already inside cooking dinner. Fasha and Tora had already went their separate ways before we arrived.

"We're back." Bardock said as we entered.

Gine smiles at the both of us before her smile turned to a frown at the sight of my battered form.

"Didn't I tell you two to take it easy?" She asked as she let out a sigh.

"Tell it to him. He's the one that kept getting back up." Bardock told her whilst pointing his thumb at me.

Gine and I both stared at him with blank expressions. Feeling our gazes, Bardock cleared his throat and tried to look as if he wasn't at fault.

Gine shakes her head at him before looking at me and saying,

"Zyleth, dinner will be ready in an hour. Why don't you go and get some rest until then?"

I nodded, giving her a little smile before heading to my room. It wasn't anything glamorous, but it was leagues better than where we were living in before.

King Vegeta had us moved into the area where Saiyan Elites usually reside at. Obviously it wasn't out of the goodness of his heart, as it was just a better environment for me to hone my power.

Apparently when King Vegeta doesn't have a son to be jealous for, he's actually quite accommodating to the child who might be enough to kill Frieza when properly nurtured.

The King gave orders to Bardock to train me as soon as I was let out of the incubator.

He thinks if I'm brought up correctly, I could be his secret weapon against Frieza. Good luck with that. By the time I fight Frieza, Planet Vegeta will be dead and gone. Hopefully the King too if the universe doesn't decide to pull a Butterfly Effect.

As much as I appreciate the help of the King, I would rather him and the planet be buried. No telling how events might shift if they were to both survive.

The Year was 734. If events were still taking place as the canon, then Goku would be born in next year. Which means that Planet Vegeta's destruction would either be in one, three, or four years.

I don't which specifically because of the damned Super Broly movie jumbling the timeline.

Originally, Planet Vegeta's destruction happened near Goku's birth. But in the movie, Goku looked at least three years old when it happened.

I guess there really isn't a way for me to find out until it happens. I'm just hoping that it will be in 739, as it would give me an extra two years of prep time.

I let out a sigh before raising my right hand, holding my palm towards my chest. I cast Kekkai, which repairs my damaged Saiyan armor.

The design is simple enough. It's basically what every Saiyan child wears except that I have long pants instead of shorts. The golden parts of the armor were also replaced with a light green color.

After repairing my damaged clothes, I then open my hand and cause the pouch of unlimited Senzu Beans to appear. I took one out and ate it before the pouch disappeared back into my ring.

My injured body was brought back up to full strength, and I could immediately feel that my power level had risen. It wasn't much, maybe two or three hundred, but it was enough for now. I had a power level of 2,500 when I was born. I'm four years old now, and my power level had reached over 9,000 about a month ago. It aggravated me to no end how slow my growth was, but there was little I could do about it now.

Bardock was the best teacher I could've gotten, but being his son had a few downsides. One of them being that he won't push me to my absolute limit. He would push me, that's for damn sure, but he won't push me to the point of near death for the Zenkai fully take hold. I've been getting by with Goku Black's unique ability to grow whilst in battle, but the gain keeps getting lower each time as Bardock refuses to just absolutely demolish me.

I had tried once to abuse Kaioken to bring my body to near death and recover with a Senzu Bean, but the sudden burst of energy nearly killed me instantly. The pain felt as if someone had plunged their hand into my chest and had a vice grip on my heart. It was so intense that I could barely swallow the Senzu Bean that I had preemptively put in my mouth.

After that near death experience, I decided then and there that I should wait on using Kaioken like that until I had someone who I could trust to feed me a Senzu Bean, if I ever pushed myself that hard again.

It would slow the growth of my power level for sure, but it was better to do that than rush in head first and die before canon even starts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After an hour, Gine had called me for dinner. It wasn't anything luxurious. There was just basically a pile of meat with some sort of greens on the side that barely anyone except me ate.

While Gine was more... reserved when it came to eating, Bardock went the traditional Saiyan way of eating. Which meant that he basically just stuffed it down his gourd and hoped he didn't choke on it. In the anime, these scenes were generally light hearted and funny. Now that I'm actually witnessing this right before my eyes, I understand why people were either shocked or grossed out by this.

As we were enjoying the atmosphere, the front door opened and we were met with the sight of my younger brother, Raditz.

"You're late, Raditz." Bardock said, not even looking up from his food.

"My bad, I was out training!" He exclaimed proudly, looking over at me for some type of validation.

Ever since he came out of the incubator, Raditz had put me on some sort of pedestal in his mind. It was due to this pedestal that he had started training heavily in an attempt to try and keep up with me.

I don't know whether he wanted validation, a rivalry, or something else entirely, but it was amusing to see him rising higher than what was originally planned.

His power level last week had just passed 500. Which isn't a lot, but considering that his adult power level was 1,200, he'll definitely be a fair bit stronger than he was in canon. Not anywhere near Vegeta mind you, but it's not a stretch to say that he'll probably close in on Nappa.

Seeing as how he is bettering himself, I give him a nod of approval. Seeing this, he smirks and goes to sit at the table, walking as if he's a main character of a Shonen.

You should probably stop doing that until you are stronger than a Saibaman...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We all went to bed after eating dinner. Well, everyone else did. As soon I climbed into bed, I assumed the Lotus Position.

The reason for this is so I could meditate and channel my Ki. While I admit that it probably won't really help me immediately, it will most certainly help me out in the long run.

Meditation was the sole reason why Jiren was so much more powerful than Goku and Vegeta during the Tournament Of Power. At least that's what was stated in the manga.

Enough time meditating allowed Jiren to effectively use his power in a way that he seemed more monstrous than he really was. In terms of raw power, Goku and Vegeta were near Jiren's level. But it was because Jiren had used meditation to refine his usage of Ki that he was so much more powerful than them.

I don't exactly know the specifics as it wasn't really that well explained, but if meditation allowed me to better use my Ki then I'll definitely try.

After meditating for a few hours, I stopped for the night and headed off to sleep.

I was later awoken about six hours later by my mother shaking me awake.

"Zyleth. Wake up, sweetie." She muttered softly, trying wake me as pleasantly as possible.

"Mom? What is it? Training isn't supposed to be until a few hours." I said, wondering why she was the one waking me up.

"It's better if you just go and see for yourself." She said, giving me a smile before walking out of the room.

I rub my eyes and get out of bed, grabbing my armor from the floor and putting it on.

I walk out of my room and see that there was another Saiyan waiting there for me.

"Zyleth?" He asked, looking to confirm my identity.

"Yes, who are you?" I asked.

"I was sent here by his Majesty, King Vegeta. He wishes to see you in the throne room immediately." He said, causing me to lift an eyebrow.

The King? I haven't had an audience with him since last year.

"Well, let's not keep him waiting." I said.

The unknown Saiyan nods and gestures for me to follow him outside.

"Stay safe, Zyleth." I heard Gine say from behind me.

I look back and see my family standing behind me. My mother had a worried look, Raditz seemed to be confused, and Bardock just looked at me with a blank stare.

I nod at them before following the other Saiyan out of my house and towards the castle.
