A Saiyan's Pride / Vegeta x Reader

Is This A Challenge?

"Oh, and I was serious about my tail... don't you dare hurt it." I growled after landing on a rock plateau where we were going to fight.

"You really do love that tail of yours, don't you?" The Namek asked almost curiously. "I know you cut Gohan's tail off before you even told me; I also know you blew up the moon.... You have nothing to fear from me- I've never used my higher form and I never will; my tail is of no threat to you."

"Very well. Should we skip the chit chat and fight?" He grinned. I returned the very same grin back at him, "Where would the fun be in that?"

I expected that he would want the first hit, so I allowed for Piccolo to fight first- or at least try. Ultimately what happened was I blocked his move and countered it to steal the first blow. He turned after receiving a blow to his chest with his foot following to hit me.

It wasn't even ten minutes into the battle that we made it up into the air to fight rather than on the floor. Piccolo ended up knocking me to the ground and from an ignorant eye, you could say he almost beat me. "Goten fights better than this. You're starting to bore me." He scoffed, looking down to where I landed.

Excuse me? Is he shit talking me?"

I pushed up onto my feet, "Are you kidding? I'm just warming up!" I laughed.

"Shall we take this to the next level before I fall asleep?" He already knew what the answer would be, so he went ahead and removed his weights. The weights both made a loud bang in the soil as well as an indention.

Maybe I should try training with weights sometime.

I smirked when I watched Piccolo crack his neck with great confidence. He really thinks he can beat me, doesn't he? Heh. If a show is what he wants- wait till I give him a load of this!

"You are going to regret you ever challenged me, green man!" I shouted, using one of Vegeta's insults for my own. I kept the shout going after my sentence and used it to power up.

It shocked Piccolo when I started to power up. The ground started to shake and gravel from the earth around us lifted into the air from the energy that started to swell around me.

Piccolo was absolutely stunned, "Th-That power! I... I've never felt anything like it before!" He gasped.

To feed in to the shock and awe, in the true Saiyan spirit, I decided to go as high as I possibly could- a Perfected Super Saiyan 2!

I fell from shouting, to a controlled fit of laughter, "Is this what you wanted!?" The golden aura surrounded me in a calming buzz while my newly styled blonde hair, almost white, waved gently from the energy's gust.

The look on Piccolo's face was pleasing- he knew both that he could not win, and also that I was up there in power with Goku and Vegeta.

"What's wrong, old man? Don't forget to pick up the jaw you dropped on your way over here to get your ass handed to you." I chuckled, allowing my brown tail to flick behind me in amusement. He tried to keep his composure, but I'm sure the sight of me emitting so much power after he had known me for years was a shocker, "I... don't believe it"

"Need me to go over there and make you believe it?" I made a 'hmpf' and frowned when Piccolo didn't respond. "I hope my new form hasn't turned you into a deer in headlights."

"How can you power up so quickly?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms, "Ugh.... are we done fighting already? It was just getting good."

"Are you full saiyan? Where are you fr-?"

Ugh! I can't take this!

"Shut up! ....I'll tell you what... if you beat me, then I will tell you every answer to your childish questions." I suggested. Piccolo snapped back into reality and returned a devious expression, "God... I'd love to shut that Saiyan trap of yours up... Count me in."

I didn't want to flat out embarrass the man, so I pulled back my punches and kicks so he at least had a fighting chance. Plus, maybe I could get some enjoyment out of the fight still.

Hm... maybe not.

"This is getting boring... Time to end this." I calmly stated before hitting Piccolo straight in the face with a decently charged kick.

He flew towards a rock pillar and crashed into it with rubble falling down around his limp body.

As Piccolo laid defeated on the ground, I landed beside him smiling down. I extended one hand towards his chest, but continued standing tall with spread fingers and my chest puffing out pridefully; my tail flicked powerfully behind me.

Piccolo stared back into my eyes and quivered inside from how terrifying my smirk was in this form. My voice was just as chilling, "Ah... many years ago this would be the time you're begging for mercy... mercy- hah!... Begging a Saiyan for mercy- can you imagine?" I laughed.

I powered completely down and turned my outstretched hand to offer him help up instead. 'She sounded just like him,' Piccolo thought privately in the safety of his own mind, 'Back before Vegeta was who he is today, he laughed at the very thought of mercy... I'm sure he still isn't fond of the idea of mercy- but whether he likes it or not he showed all of us and Goku mercy in a way. But she... there's something off about this one... Could she be working with Frieza?'

"Thank you, Piccolo... me and Goku don't get to fight like that much. This was a lot of fun." My smile was warm and sweet- a complete turn from my Super Saiyan form. But if it was a surprise, he should know by now that Saiyans get more and more feisty the more confident we get. What's the point in hiding anymore? He's just going to keep asking and I just wanted to win the fight- I don't care about answering his questions.

"I'm feeling generous..."

My tail wrapped itself around my waist under my shirt, "Yes... I am a full Saiyan. I come from the planet Vegeta just like Goku and Vegeta did, but Vegeta and I spent most of our lives there unlike Goku."

I propped my body against a rock column and continued, "No- I did not work for Frieza if you were wondering... I might talk like Vegeta, but me and him are nothing alike, Piccolo. I am of no danger to you. Got it? Sure, my father sent me to this planet -but I have no idea why."

My arms folded around one another to allow me more comfort, "Oh, and how I can power up so quickly is a simple technique... basically, I took what my father taught me and mixed it with what Goku taught me and I was able to figure out how to master my form almost instantly."

"And why can't Vegeta know the truth about you?" He asked. I closed my eyes when I chuckled lightly, "I said I was feeling generous ... I don't see why that answer would be any concern to you, Namek." I lifted off the ground, "Remember... this secret stays between the two of us."

He nodded and I flew off back home. I feel like I can trust him... He's trustworthy enough and I can tell he will keep this secret from me.
