Dragon Ball Story: The Lost and The Forgotten

Foreboding!

On a faraway world consumed by constant snow storms, two warriors walked through the brightly illuminated corridor within the station. While the flame-haired teen marched onward and paid no attention to anyone, his large companion glared at every passing soldier. Seeing the others flinch caused the burly and bald male to smirk and chuckle. The prideful giant shifted his black spheres to the younger male and wondered what was troubling the smaller warrior.

"Hey, what's troubling you, Vegeta? If you are worried about Raditz, then..."

Before the goliath could even finish the sentence, the flame-haired teen scoffed. "Pfftt! As if I give a damn about Raditz! He was an embarrassment to the Saiyan race and a constant thorn in my eye!" A throbbing vein surfaced on Vegeta's temple at the mere thought of the fellow Saiyan.

"That sorry excuse for a warrior kept dragging us down! If his pod hadn't broken down in the middle of space, I would have killed him sooner than later!"

Upon hearing such harsh words, the bald colossus laughed instead of feeling sympathy toward the third-class Saiyan. "Well, you are right. Raditz always slowed us down, and the lousy low-class would eventually get in our way." The burly warrior stroked his mustache as they walked into the cafeteria.

Once inside, they took large portions of food and sat on the nearby table. They devoured the food like it was the last meal they would ever eat. However, after only four plates, Vegeta halted, surprising his bald companion. The flame-haired teen put the plate away and leaned against the chair while his tail furiously thrashed behind him.

"Freeza and his lackeys will mock my leadership because I lost a weakling and couldn't conquer a planet! It's all because of..."

Seeing how his young companion was about to lose his composure in front of everyone, the large Saiyan quickly spoke. "All's going to be alright! I bet Freeza and those bastards weren't even aware Raditz was with us! No one even knew the furball existed except us! That's how useless and unimportant that insect was!" He laughed between the bites while Vegeta thought about the said words.

"Besides! That was definitely a S-Rank mission! Zarbon withheld that information from us!"

The powerful prince seemed to have cooled down upon hearing that. "Hm. Even you can be right sometimes, Nappa." Vegeta crossed his arms, and just as he was about to add something else, a voice emerged from their scouters.

"Vegeta! Report to Lord Freeza's chambers at once!"

A low growl emitted from Nappa, who immediately slammed the plate against the table, causing the other soldiers to look at them. "Tch! If there's one thing I hate more than weaklings, is these meetings with that pink lizard and his goons!" Nappa's temper got the best of him, and the others could clearly hear what he said.

"Agreed. Let's go and get this over with. We will request a new mission and complete it as quickly as possible so we get those morons off our backs!"

Nappa nodded in agreement and followed the teen warrior. The two marched fast to the Freeza's private chambers. They moved from one side of the station to another in a record-breaking time. However, their already sour mood turned even worse, if possible, once they saw two familiar figures standing in front of the room.

"Well, look who we have here, Zarbon. Our precious little prince made it back after that debacle."

Nappa shot a deadly glare at a pink and quite fat soldier, who noticed his scowl but responded with a chuckle. "Tch! You bastards! You knew exactly what you were doing!" Nappa moved past Vegeta and shouted at the pink creature.

"Hm. Please keep your dog on a short leash, or something might happen to it. It would be a shame to lose another one so soon; after all, you just lost a member of your little squad, didn't you?"
