A Saiyan's Pride / Vegeta x Reader

Earth's Fate

"You know, we could leave things just as they are. But I suppose that's too much to ask of you, isn't it, my lord?"

Beerus hummed before waving his tail to the opposite side, "It is. A Destroyer must keep his word, after all; I agreed to spare this planet if Goku could defeat me... But if I won, I would show no mercy."

"I can't let you take my home, not again!" I growled, setting into a fight stance. Vegeta stepped in front of me, "You stay out of it... I will handle him."

Really?

"Vegeta, this is no time for an ego trip! We all need to fight and use everything we have against him!" I protested. He growled in return, "Shut your mouth!"

Beerus moved his gaze to me and Vegeta arguing, "Hmm... tell me, Saiyan- What is your name?"

"M-Me?" I asked, then continued when I didn't get a response. "My name is Y/N..."

"As I thought... What a shame; I once thought you could grow into a half decent challenge for me." He sighed. "Yeah? Wanna come down here and find out for yourself?" I snarled back at him.

Goku painfully sat up from where he had landed on the ground, "Beerus, please.... I'm asking you one last time, Lord Beerus- Please don't destroy my planet. There's gotta be another way.... I'm beggin' you."

Beerus turned his attention back to Goku, "No. I cannot." Without uttering another word, Beerus extended his finger and a small red light formed on the tip of it. It was weird that such a small ball of light would destroy the entire planet in a matter of seconds.

Vegeta rushed to me and grabbed my arm, "Y/N, I-" A feint noise stopped him and made him release my arm, "Huh?" The entire party dropped their jaws to the floor at the sight of a sleeping destroyer with a snot bubble emerging from his nose. "Hmm. It seems my lord has fallen asleep..." Whis examined.

I wasn't complaining, but... seriously?

Whis continued, "It appears that he won't wake up for quite a long time, and when he finally does- he will have forgotten all about his threats to destroy your world... or at least that's the most likely scenario. Oh, and Goku-"

Goku looked up to the blue deity, "Uh, yeah?"

"Thank you very much for playing with Lord Beerus. It has helped more than you can know... Someday I'll repay you. Take care of yourselves, everyone. Bye!"

Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest, "Kakarot, you fool! How could you let him beat you?" Goku scratched the back of his head, "All I can say is, in the end, I just wasn't strong enough to defeat him... But next time it's your turn, Vegeta!"

"What are you talking about?" Vegeta groaned. "The next time we do that ceremony thing. We'll make sure you'll be the one who gets
the Super Saiyan God power, just like you said you wanted!"

He scoffed back at the blissful Saiyan, "I don't want it... Only a fool would be happy with second best-"

"Well, call me a fool, then- I want it!" I exclaimed, eagerly hopping towards Goku. He chuckled at my energy and put his arm around me.

For once, Vegeta didn't separate Goku and I; he must have been caught up in his own ego. "I'll improve the only respectable way:
with my own power! I'll become stronger than that Super Saiyan God puppet show... Stronger than Beerus, and stronger than you!" The prince promised. "Well if anyone can do it, it's you, Vegeta." Goku smiled. A devilish smirk spread across Vegeta's face, "You think empty compliments from a loser mean anything to me?"

"But I'm serious! You showed crazy power today... Like when you got all mad and yelled-" Goku puffed out his chest and proceeded to do his best Vegeta voice impression, "-What did you do to my Y/N?!"

I giggled at the opportunity to witness Vegeta's face turn red from embarrassment; he gasped. "I-I did not- I mean... How did you-"

Goku chuckled playfully, which made me chuckle along with him. "You really were here the whole time, huh?" I asked the younger Saiyan. He nodded, then looked around at the small crowd of our friends, "I think I've embarrassed him..."

Vegeta finally gathered his composure back and realized Goku was hanging off of my shoulders like usual. He huffed, "You're an idiot, Kakarot." With that, he took a direct path between me and Goku to separate us as well as storm off.

"Hmm... He can get over that." I muttered to anyone who could hear me.

Why did he get so angry at Beerus when he hit me? It's not like I didn't warrant for him to behave that way. After all, I attacked him first. Hmm....

I thought the rest of Bulma's party was ruined, but it actually turned out to be salvageable and downright fun! Vegeta didn't stay near the crowd much, but rather to himself at the bow of the ship.

The next day, Vegeta and I headed for the Hyperbolic Time Chamber after a large meal as I promised. A few of our friends came to see us off. "We'll see you in a day, then?" Piccolo asked. "Maybe... I guess it depends how long we stay in there. But yes, a day should be plenty of time for us." I responded to Piccolo.

A day was roughly equal to an entire year in the chamber, which should be enough time to train. "We'll be here when you get out!" Goku promised. "Yeah, and we will have food waiting unless my husband eats it all first." Chi-Chi added.

I giggled, but stopped at the sound of Vegeta huffing impatiently, "Well, let's get to it already!"
