A Saiyan's Pride / Vegeta x Reader

Identity Crisis

The party had already started by the time I showed up. "Y/N! There you are! What was keeping you?" Whis asked. Beerus narrowed his eyes, "Don't tell me you were thinking of blowing it off."

My face turned red, "No, Lord Beerus, nothing like that. I simply got distracted in town and lost track of the time. I caught sight of Vegeta in my peripherals, but he just 'hmpf'd and walked away when he noticed I saw him.

Rude.

I was grateful that Trunks let me push my feelings for the Saiyan prince aside enough for me to figure out what's going on between us. But it was honestly just repressed feelings.

Since Goku and the kids weren't here, I stayed hanging around Whis and Beerus for the most part. The food Bulma had for us was absolutely AMAZING.

"What is that?" I asked, quickly jumping to my feet. "I feel it too...." Piccolo muttered, staring at the sky in the same direction I was. Those of us who could sense energy were now all looking to the sky for answers. "Freiza..." Vegeta growled. "What?! Are you sure?" Krillin asked in panic. "Of course I'm sure!" Vegeta snapped, "I would recognize his energy no matter how strong he gets."

Freiza!? But... But he seems so strong- maybe stronger than Goku! Even if he wasn't, Goku isn't here! Oh, God...

I choked the words out of my mouth, "He's coming this way-" Piccolo and Vegeta both dropped into fighting stances, "Then we will be ready for him with a lovely welcome party." Piccolo growled.

I flew over to stand beside Gohan, who was in front of his wife and daughter; I knew I wouldn't be fighting first, so I wanted to make sure Pan had all the protection she could have.

It felt surreal to see Frieza's immensely powerful energy flying towards us in the distance. Part of my wanted to believe Vegeta was wrong about who it was, but he was proved right when Frieza stopped in the air above us while cackling, "I hope I didn't intrude... I would hate to cut a party short."

He looked down at Piccolo and Vegeta, "Oh, look... Trying to pick a fight already? What type of party is that?"

"It'll be the last one you ever witness." Vegeta growled, hatred burning in his eyes at the villain. Frieza laughed once more, "Stupid monkey- I see you're still playing human on this pathetic waste of rubble planet."

"That's enough! Why are you here?" Piccolo asked. Frieza grinned and flicked his tail behind him, "Isn't it obvious?" He made sure to snarl his next word, "-Revenge."

Frieza took the first blast and focused it on Piccolo. Vegeta backed down, since Frieza chose his first opponent and Saiyans typically don't work as a team. Vegeta stood with his arms folded while spectating the fight carefully to determine if Frieza gained any new tactics in battle.

Almost at the same time Piccolo got his ass kicked, Vegeta powered up to his first Super Saiyan form and flew at the evil emperor.

"Ugh... He's toying with Frieza!" Gohan complained. I kept my eyes trained on the battle, "They're warming up, Gohan... Don't worry, Vegeta knows what he's doing."

"I know, I just wish he would end it!" Gohan whined. Instead of responding, I watched carefully at the two of them fight to see what was and was not working against Frieza. After being pummeled to the ground, Vegeta pushed himself back up to stare at the laughing alien. "Silly monkey, playtime is over!" He held out his finger towards Vegeta, but stopped in shock when he powered up into a Super Saiyan god. "Wha-!?"

Frieza's eyes grew wide, "Where did your energy go? I-It's impossible- can't sense it!"

Vegeta smirked, "We call this Super Saiyan god." Frieza snapped out of his initial shock and went back to keeping his composure, "I have a magic trick for you too, monkey."
