1 The Fall of Planet Vegeta!

A long, long time before the story begins. The universe was fairly young in its creation, only a handful of races and sentient beings were roaming the cosmos.

Flashes of light could be seen from a nearby planet, the locals, obviously confused were just watching this display with wonder and curiosity. These flashes of lights destroyed mountains, continents and eventually, much to the shock of the lifeforms, they very planet finally caved in!

Before they realized it a violent mass of light neared their planet in seconds, before some unknown force pulled it back up into orbit and the lights continued flashing away from the planet. The large headed creatures were just left with many questions, though they would never understand the true gravity of the situation...

These lights continued interlocking with each other in a mad rush of power, planet after planet would fall victim to the lights, being obliterated before they flew off still interlocked in combat.

On a planet with a violet sky and purple streams a set of figures stand watching the three figures through a large ball, it would frantically shake and almost cut out before refocusing on the figures.

"What if they Fail?!" A voice frantically shouted out.

The Voice belonged to one of the five people watching. A young man with soft features, pale pink skin and a dull purple mohawk. Everyone present wore a very strange outfit with a tight vest that split down to their knees, baggy shoulders, a sash fastened round the waist and a bulb like earing on each ear that was pointed to the end.

"What about the Angels? Surely they could help?" A woman turned to the others and questioned.

She wore the same outfit as the prior just red in design. She was fairly tall with pale skin, a silver tampered mohawk longer than the other with the same pointed ears.

"West kai… Unfortunately, even if anything happened no Angel can step into the realm without a God of Destruction to bind them, we're on our own with this one." Another grimaced.

This one looked a bit more elderly and shorter than the others, largely resembling the woman with his hair and skin but sported a moustache. His outfit was blue like the first.

One of the two remaining just solemnly nodded his head, he was gigantic compared to the others with a very chiseled jaw and an ochre inspired colour palette. The final of the five who seemed to be controlling the orb stood from where he stood with a grim complexion. He was very rotund with the same hair and skin as the first, but a dark blue, slightly more regal baggy clothing. He puts his hands up to the orb and glances at the others.

"Although it's not been long since I became a deity, I can help somewhat… Everyone channel your energy into me and we can try to make a difference!" He bellowed out.

The other four look on with a mixture of concern and conviction before placing their hands on his back as told. The rotund man turned back to the orb and with a grunt continually pushed out a solid beam of energy towards it. The energy would crackle and arc before settling on the orb itself.

The battle elsewhere was at a critical point. One side of the fight had slowed down noticeably, though this allowed vague glimpses of the two. One had glowing spiked hair and a very wild, almost barbaric attire and the other had deep golden skin, pointed ears and barely noticeable antennae. The two were clearly on the back-foot and all could be seen of the opponent was a wild pink blur destroying anything it touched, you could almost hear a sickening cackle radiating from it even in the depths of space. As it charged in to the duo, suddenly the space haltered slightly allowing the two to catch their bearings.

"Huh, was that the Kais?" The spiked hair one questioned with clear glee. The other panted slightly and responded.

"It doesn't matter, if it absorbs any more, I doubt anything could stop it. We need to attack." The other responded roughly before diving back in, shortly followed by the other.

This battle lasted an unknown amount of time, with the two fighting this creature that didn't seem to tire along with the aid of the Kai's, much more was destroyed than what was preferred. But eventually the two succeeded, putting their all into a moment of weakness destroying the creature until not an atom remained. The five who assisted jumped in joy at this triumph, and while the two who fought were only just hanging on, you could barely see the relieved smirks from them both in the dark corners of space.

After this the two would part ways and unfortunately never have the chance to meet again, time would continue moving forward. Hundreds of millions of years later many events happened that shaped the outcome of the universe, focusing in on a small event in the grand scheme of things that happened in the not-so-distant past.

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

A planet with a vivid red atmosphere floated in the northern regions of space, it would seem peaceful if it wasn't for the blockade of ships surrounding it.

On the surface was even worse, the once tall futuristic constructs were slowly crumbling and burning under a vicious attack. All sorts of varying alien races were propelled through the sky by the feet of the outfit they wore. All of them tore into anything in their path using a rifle slotted on their forearms.

The opposing side was extremely human looking, apart from each and every one of them had a tail. Despite how bad the situation looked they were putting up a decent fight, with some of their more elite soldiers in the distance in the forms of giant apes attempting to repel the alien spacecrafts that were lighting up the city, though it wouldn't be enough.

In space, at a safe distance the flagship is floating in place.

In the main deck a tail flicked across the room, bringing with it a weird sense of power. The creature itself was moderately grotesque, a small but bulbous head with horns and scaled cheeks. Its lips almost shone a dark unnerving colour, and its body was humanoid and quite short. It sat in a round floating seat, seaming perfectly tailored for its comfort. It lips permanently crept into a smile, taking the last sip out of the presumed beverage in the fancy glass it was holding before lightly tossing it to the floor.

As soon as it made contact, a terrified alien scampered out of the dark corners of the room and cleared the glass away with surprising efficiency and disappeared back into the corner. The creature sat in the center simply widened its grin and spoke.

"Oh yes, this was a much better idea than simply blowing them up." He smirked to himself before turning round to some attendants.

"Kikono make sure whoever came up with this idea gets a promotion, and Berryblue, call Zarbon and Dodoria. They wouldn't want to miss the fireworks." With the last words its grin curled up frighteningly, making a bloodcurdling smile that would terrify the average person. Even those present were still intimidated.

"Of course, my Lord!" They both answered in tandem.

Berryblue was a short blue-skinned humanoid with neat light-purple hair. She wore a variant of the armour everyone present was wearing, being mainly with with green spiked shoulder and stomach plates with it having white accents. Under her armour was a smiple white robe with black and green boots.

Kikono was a short, diminutive, yellow alien. He had a relatively large head with two antennae, he wore the same armour as Berryblue, with a dim green robe that reached the floor.

Even if it wasn't Kikono's position to do these types of things he would never disobey an order, either out of obligation or fear.

As they both scurried out of the room leaving only the presumed Lord and a couple of guards, it gently turned back to the catastrophe unfolding with its never dropping euphoric grin.

On the planet chaos is continuing to unfold, more and more of the invaders were blockading any escape. One man flew through the air, kneeing one invader in the neck presumably disabling him with a loud crack, his eyes flash as he barely gets out of the way of a bolt speeding past him. Before he even glanced back at the attacker, he stretched him arm out and fired a ball of energy, not out of any weapon, but his own hand.

The invader sees this and doesn't even try to dodge but summons an energy-based shield from his other gauntlet. The energy crashes into and pushes him back, but he seemed none the worse for wear. He looks back at where the man was only to see that he had vanished. At the same time, he reappeared above the invader, grasping his hands together and slamming him in the back sending him plummeting into the ground below.

The panting man slowly turns up to the sky, glaring at a large ship not far from the planet, slowly getting closer. He clenches his fist tightly.

"Damn it… Damn it!!" He screams as he starts tearing upwards toward the ship.

Meanwhile in a bunker of sorts a group of people were huddled around a spherical table displaying the area around them as well as lots of other information holographically. Everyone's face looked grim.

"All emergency vessels have been destroyed in the eastern sector and communication is completely cut with the north!" One Screams.

"King Vegeta, although all power is cut from the north-eastern and south sectors, we managed to rig up the auxiliary generators so we should have enough to get our ships off the ground" Another shouts fervently at the leading presence in the room. This made his complexion brighten slightly, though he knew this wasn't enough.

"Quickly, get all ships off the ground! Raise the scout ships first as a distraction then the transport and attack ships to get the civilians off world and start a counterattack. I will not allow the Saiyans to fall here!" King Vegeta shouted back at his people.

They immediately start passing orders and in no time at all they could see some ships lift off out the windows, followed by the cheers of everyone in the room.

"It's not over yet!" King Vegeta shouts.

"King Vegeta we have almost got back into the atmospheric cannons, although it will use a bit of energy, we can clear a path for the retreating ships!"

"Fantastic!" King Vegeta bellowed with a rare smile.

Although this followed with an extreme feeling of unease, he snapped his head back to the vessels that just took off only to see them bombarded with fire and the entire fleet fall! Everyone's face immediately dropped, though they had no time as King Vegeta snapped to another direction and raised his energy to the max while trying to form a sort of dome shaped barrier.

"Look Ou--!" He managed to squeeze out before the wall erupted inwards with great force, knocking the King down and breaking through most the barrier.

When the ringing finally stopped, he opened his eyes to find debris crushing him to the floor. With effort he managed to push the remains off him only to be greeting to a harrowing sight, most of the people in the room were crushed or deceased, with pipes and slabs protruding from their corpse. When he turned his head to the gaping hole in the building all he could see was hundreds of soldiers closing in with dozens of spacecrafts on their location.

In another location a female of the same race was dashing round the burnt remains of the streets, frantically shouting out.

"Bardock!? Bardock!?" She screamed as she stumbled across, though a rough shout brought her attention to the air not far from her where the aforementioned man tearing though dozens of soldiers, trying to reach a large vessel closing in on their location.

Bardock continues his ascent, tearing through everything in his way. At this point he was riddled with burned scars and bleeding all over, but he continued taking out each soldier with one blow and flew upwards.

Back in the ship on the planet's edge, two people have entered the control room. One was taller than average with a good physique, he had pale green skin with deep green hair that split at the front and wrapped round his shoulder into a braided ponytail and wore the same armour as the others. He had small earrings, a thin tiara and a gaze that showed he looked down upon everyone here, of course with the exception of his Lord.

The other was almost round, he had thick lips, pink skin with sagging eyebrows with no hair that almost wrapped his head. On his bald head and large forearms were spikes protruding out of his skin.

"Lord Frieza!" They announce in sync and bowing before looking at him.

"Zarbon, Dodoria. Excellent." A voice reached out. One could see the grotesque Lord from before turn slightly in his place to glance at them. "You're just in time."

The two nod at him before taking their place at his side.

"Drop the gravity mines and order the ships to pull back." The chubby pink one, Dodoria stated to one of the officers near.

As they rapidly activated the console, the ship readied four cannons at the planet.

"Open the hatch." The green skinned one, Zarbon states.

Back on the planet King Vegeta had barely retreated to an inner room while bleeding profusely, barley hanging on. He tiredly activated a console and swiped a few times.

"Please… Please get this message." He whispered as he heard soldiers close in on him.

Bardock was at the edge of the atmosphere, the lack of oxygen was getting to him, and parts of his body were somehow frozen over even with the intense firepower headed in his direction. Suddenly he noticed four pylons exiting the ship, go flying past him and slam into the planet below in a square formation.

As soon as they hooked themselves onto the ground Bardock was immediately pulled back by a strange force. Be it people, objects, everything was being pulled into the planet itself as the ground slowly gave in. Bardock strained to look at the ship only to find his target. Out of the top of the ship have Frieza, still sat him his custom seat, though somehow fine in the vacuum of space.

"Hmm?" Frieza glances down and meets eyes with Bardock before laughing maniacally. "Ohohohoho! Don't we have a brave one here." He says with clear amusement in his voice. "Though a monkey will always be a monkey." He grins.

Bardock continues to strain himself forward while glancing at energy being produced by his armour.

"This has to work!" He growls and he starts growing in size, his mouth grew fangs and fur grew out of his body as he started to enlarge along with his armour.

Frieza only looks inquisitively before Bardock reached his full size. Though he wasn't done, the giant ape started to scream manically as his form slowly shrunk back down to a human. It was a painful process, but he remerged, the only difference was his hair now standing on end, brown fur covered his body and energy seemed to leak from his pores. He looked up to Frieza with a furious grin.

"I won't let you have your way." He states as he starts charging up a large ball of energy on his right hand.

Frieza was watching curiously, there was a brief flash of fear partway through the transformation, but after pressing a device on its ear it simply chuckled.

"An amusing charade, but a charade nonetheless." It stated. "It's time to end this."

The creature then stood up from its chair and started to glow, its limbs seem to grow, shrink and wrap round themselves over and over with a dull shout before what was left there was an entirely different being. It became slightly taller, much better proportioned and lost its horns. Its skin was now pearl white, and the scaled skin was replaced by a smooth exterior with purple accents on its head, shoulders, shins, forearms and just below the chest. It looked almost angelic, if it wasn't for the bloodthirsty grin and blood red eyes.

While continuing to chuckle it raised its finger above him, there formed a small ball of energy. It looked as hot as the sun and glowed a deep dark orange with a core of the brightest white. Then it started to enlarge, bigger and bigger. First it was the same size as its owner, then the size of the ship, then completely dwarfing it. Bardock was terrified, but moved forward anyways, his hatred for this creature far outweighed his fear. Even as his body was crushed by the vacuum of space and all air left his lungs he kept charging forwards with this beam of energy reaching out his arms. Though Frieza, with a bit of effort, directed the supernova like energy down at him and it began to fall toward the planet, only fastened by the gravity mines.

Back on the planet King Vegeta was on the floor, he barely fought of the attackers and with his remaining energy he couldn't move at all under the gravity mines exertion. He looked up in the air only to see the sky fill by what looked like a star.

Not far away the woman that screamed to Bardock earlier was just outside the mines but cornered by soldiers and backing off to a corner when she saw it too. Her eyes enlarged and it caught the attention of her pursuers and had them turn around, only to similarly shrink in fear. The woman simply held her hands together and whispered out with closed eyes.

"Raditz, Bardock… Kakarot…" As a tear left her eye.

Bardock was doing everything he could, he shot out the energy at the ball of fire with a deafening roar. Only for it to do absolutely nothing.

His eyes shrunk back and even in the vacuum of space he could somehow hear laughing, a high pitched but dark and sinister laugh. There was nothing he could do. As the energy reached him, he tried to push it back only for him arms to boil down. The energy then completely overtook him, with desperate screams he started to boil and fade away. Though at the last moment his eyes clear, almost like he comes to some sort of realization and cracks a small smile. He was in more pain than he could imagine but there was something there, something that couldn't help but make him smile. The only thing he screamed as he was wiped into oblivion was a name.

"KAKAROT!!"

The giant ball of fire and death was pulled down onto the planet and burrowed further deep inside thanks to the gravity mines. It didn't take long for everything it touched to vanish into dust, the planet quaked, and the continents shattered as the very core of the planted destabilized. Frieza and his ship had already retreated to a safe distance and was watching the spectacle as the planet finally shattered and explosions after explosions shot off leaving nothing in its wake, with a certain Lord just laughing down at where the planet used to be.
