Down the rabbit hole

Chapter one - Down we go

As Frieza swirled the wine through his glass, he looked with his cold chilling eyes at the group of Saiyans who had just walked into his private quarters. The three brutal fighters knelt before the evil leader, Vegeta was the first to stand up, the other two obediently followed their prince. Zarbon joined beside the tyrant leader "My lord Frieza, Saiyans are an unusual choice for this mission." Frieza put down his glass.

Vegeta looked puzzled from the arrogant green general of Lord Frieza to the leader himself. What mission were they talking about? Frieza had a cold grin on his face "oh no my dear Zarbon, they are perfect. And don't you think these boys have earned a vacation?" Vegeta looked over his shoulder and looked at his men they were just as confused as he was.

Zarbon began to giggle "oh sure my lord. Guys you are being dropped off on planet Wain. As you may know we have a contract with the queen of this rich planet. For of course wine, goods and fighters. Unfortunately there are a large number of rebels active there. Pick them out and kill them, we can't make it any easier for you". Frieza grinned, Vegeta got the feeling that there was a reason why they had been chosen.

His curiosity won and Vegeta directed his question at Frieza "Why us? Why Saiyans?" Zarbon and Frieza looked at each other and had amusing uneasy grins on their faces. Frieza looked at the young prince "Saiyans are not very popular on planet Wain, And I don't expect you to be drawn into their madness. Parties, dances and strange ways. Saiyans are brutal fighters, And I expect you to be that too".

That was clear thought Vegeta, this couldn't be too difficult. He gave a small bow, his men did the same. They left Frieza's quarters and walked to the command center where they could pick up the rest of their assignment and their gear. Nappa came walking next to Vegeta "what do you think of this Vegeta?" Vegeta walked upright with his hands behind his back. "What do I think? That we just show those Waino's how much fun Saiyans can be".

Also Raditz came walking next to Vegeta " The planet Wain does sound familiar to me, stories through my father's teammates. Indeed I heard it's a strange planet, the inhabitants are a bit uh mad". Vegeta looked aside and started to smirk "well as long as we can do our fighting I don't care how mad those residents are". All three Saiyans started laughing loudly.

When the group of three arrived at the command center, it appeared that Zarbon had also joined them. Confidently the green haired one came to stand beside the prince "never thought we would be traveling together huh little prince." Slightly perplexed but also irritated Vegeta cast a glance at Zarbon "why are you coming with us?" Charmingly Zarbon laughed "because the queen asked for me and because Saiyans can be a bit unruly after all."

About forty-eight hours later, Vegeta looked out the window of the spaceship and saw and green blue planet with lots of forests made of out of mushrooms and large lakes. Nappa fixed his scouter one more time and Raditz stared down from the window, still trying to figure out why the planet Wain was in the stories of his father's team. A soldier came to inform the group of Saiyans that they had arrived at planet Wain and they were ready for landing.

When the ship was going down the Saiyans walked to the main entrance door of the ship, Zarbon threw back his braid and looked sternly forward "oh Saiyans, please behave yourselves." Vegeta clenched his fists for a moment, but remained silent. Nappa wanted to say something but with a simple gesture from the Saiyan prince he remained silent. Slowly the cargo door opened and they were met by a group of soldiers with a Lieutenant in front.

Zarbon walked up to the Lieutenant and looked at him arrogantly "Soldier, I was expecting Captain Vino." With a short bow the young man of about early twenties addressed Zarbon "excuse Zarbon, the captain was forcing some rebels back." Zarbon walked on as the soldiers made some space. The man turned to the Saiyans, with dark deep red eyes he observed the new forces "you are the Saiyan? I must say welcome then".
