MEMOIRS OF A LOST PRINCESS: A DRAGON BALL Z FAN FIC

Chapter 1

"Move! Out of my way!" Bardok was racing through the palace to his niece's room. Anger, fear and frustration pushing him faster. No one believed him when he warned the palace of Freiza planning to attack. His young son (Kakarot), who was pressed against his chest, began to cry. Before he made it to his niece's door knob, she was already there rubbing sleep out of her eyes.

The girl heard her cousin's cries when he first started to cry and was already going to tend to him. She loved this baby as her own. At first, she had decided to take care of him because his mother, her aunt, Rei had died during a freak accident and she didn't want nurses looking after him during Bardok's missions. Rei's pod exploded on the way to a mission. She was in a cryogenic sleep and went peacefully. It only took a second for the cousins to become attached to each other. Love at first sight.

Bardok pushed the baby into his niece's arms. "Princess! Go to the escape pods and get off the planet! Freiza is coming to attack!"

The girl cocked her head to the side and looked at her uncle with eye brows raised. She began to laugh. "Uncle.... Have you hit your head or are you trying to prank me?"

"Ategev! There is no time for this! Go NOW!"

Ategev saw the fear in her uncle's eyes and knew he was telling the truth. In her 16 years, she had never seen fear in her beloved uncle.

"Okay. We are leaving."

Bardok hugged his son and niece and a tear drop left his eye and slipped onto Ategev's forehead. Bardok walked into Ategev's room and ran to the balcony and soared out the window.

Ategev closed her door and ran to where she kept Kakarots things. She grabbed a blanket and quickly wrapped him in it. She held him tightly against Her chest and pressed a hand on a painting of her mother. A low creaking sounded and the painting slid up the wall. The wall opened wide enough for her to easily fly through. In seconds, the secret passage led her right to the pod room.
Gently, Ategev placed Kakarot into his pod and set his destination to a far off planet away from their home world, planet Vegeta. She closed his door and the count down began for his departure. "I will find you when this over Kakarot. I promise."

Ategev was not going to leave her people when they were in trouble. The countdown was half way through when two of Bardok's men came into the room.

"Princess, we are here to make sure you leave the planet."

"I am not going anywhere. You may accompany to my father and King Vegeta".

Before she could say another word, one guard grabbed her while the other set the destination to follow Kakarot, who just departed during the scuffle. They closed her in the pod and sent her on immediate deportation.

Bardok, was already fighting Frieza and was relieved when he saw two pods shoot to the stars. They were the last thing he ever saw.

Ategev was angry. She saw through the window of her pod, her uncle surrounded by frieza's men. Her control panel was purposely jammed by the soldiers so she couldn't stop her flight. She wanted to help him. Then as she glanced over to see Kakarot's pod a few hundred feet ahead of her, a bright light and boom surrounded her. She was blinded for a moment and then saw that her beloved planet was reduced to rubble. Before she could think another thought, a piece of debris hit her pod hard. Her pod went haywire and her destination was jumbled. Before she could think, the cryogenic mode of the pod set it. Ategev went to sleep hurtling through space into a black hole.

Kakarot arrived on planet Earth and he gained a new life and a new name, Goku. There are no memories of his former life. He was raised to be a kind hearted warrior. He got married, had kids and gained many interesting friends. 30 years had passed since the day Planet Vegeta was destroyed.
