Chapter 1: Kakarot

In a space pod, deep in the reaches of space, a Saiyan slept. He had long, black hair, and a strange device on his face. He was traveling fast towards the unsuspecting Earth. One thought remained on the Saiyan's mind; his brother. His eyes opened as he neared Earth. He would only need to wait one more minute. Finally, he felt his pod fall through the atmosphere. He had gotten accustomed to it, so he didn't hold onto anything for security.

He felt the pod's impact with the ground, and smirked. Its time to come home, brother, he thought. He watched as the door opened, and was surprised to still see life. Flourishing life, nothing was destroyed at all.The Saiyan felt fury rising in him, and turned on his scouter. Before he could fly in the direction of a high power level, the sound of a machine made him turn his head. The thing that stood before him was a weak, tiny piece of trash!

He checked his scouter and laughed, a power level of five. "A power level of only five? What trash. Kakarot should have wiped out this planet long ago." A loud boom sounded as the earthling shot something at him. The Saiyan caught it easily and looked down at it. He laughed with contempt. A bullet? He smirked and flicked the bullet at the earthling, then watched as it crashed into its own machine. "Hmph, Kakarot shouldn't have had a hard time on this planet."

The Saiyan then left the area to find the other power level. He snorted with disgust as he saw more life flourishing on this planet. He couldn't believe his brother hadn't finished off these weak, disgusting earthlings. But then, he remembered what the prince had called him, and wondered if it was fair to say what he did about the earthlings, if he too, was treated as a weakling. Finally, he made it to the power level.

Instead of being faced with a bloodthirsty Saiyan, he was faced with a Namekian. He snorted, thisNamekian looked terrified. But how did could it know he was so strong? The Saiyan had a feeling that this particular Namekian was born on Earth. He was incredibly strong for a Namekian. The Saiyan shook his head to clear his thoughts, and glared at the green man.

"Hello, Namek, have you by any chance met someone around here named Kakarot?" the tall Saiyan questioned.

"I don't know who you're talking about. And if I did, why would I tell you?" the Namekian said, his eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"If you aren't going to help me. Then I'll just have to kill you. Double Sun -" the Saiyan began, but he was cut off by a higher power level. It was moving, and fast. But not fast enough. "This is your lucky day, Namek. Don't cross paths with me again. Or you'll regret it."

The Saiyan then left; the Namekian staring after him in utter confusion. He smirked and checked the scouter again. The power level was stationary. You're mine now, Kakarot! Prepare yourself! The Saiyan thought, with a smirk. He flew over a vast ocean, and for the first time; actually savored in the feeling of the breeze through his long, spiky hair. That never happened. On other planets, the breeze would carry horrendous odors that made even the strongest Saiyan cough, but this air... was clean.

Finally, he approached the power level. He looked down below, and saw many bi-pedal beings staring up at him with alarm and confusion. The Saiyan scanned the group for Kakarot and easily spotted him. He would recognize his father's crazy hairdo anywhere. But where was his tail? The Saiyan was instantly alarmed as he realized this new development. He then noticed a little boy with a tail behind Kakarot.

The Saiyan landed on the island and said, "It took me a while, but I finally found you, Kakarot."

"Kakarot? Who's that?" Kakarot asked, and the taller Saiyan was baffled

"You mean, you don't remember?! You'reKakarot! What happened to you?! And where's your tail?! You know as well as I do, that that's the key to unlocking your true potential!" the Saiyan snapped.
