Dragon Ball Z 011

Hot damn!   It’s time for Terror on Arlia!   This is probably one of the best filler episodes ever.   It’s like, the driver’s ed episode, the Goku vs. Pikkon fight, and this.    I’m not sure how I’d rank them, but maybe I’ll work on that sometime later.

First off, some time has passed once again since the last episode.  Now, Gohan is strong enough that the dinosaur that keeps attacking him is no longer a threat.  

Gohan just calmly runs away from it, then jumps right before he runs into a boulder, and the dinosaur hits it instead.

Then he hacks off a piece of the dinosaur’s tail while it’s stunned.   Again.   Gohan’s apparently been doing this for a while now, and he warns the dinosaur that it’ll run out of tail at the rate they’re going.   The message is simple: Don’t eat Gohan’s friends.

Gohan has also figured out how to make his own ki blasts, which is pretty high-level stuff.   His ki may only be powerful enough to start a fire, but it’s way more than most of the other characters could have done at age four.

Meanwhile, Bulam, Krillin, and Yamcha are looking for Tien and Chiaotzu.   Or maybe they’re just talking about looking for them now that they have Yamcha.   I’m pretty sure the Gohan scenes are taking place over the course of several weeks, while these Z-Warrior scenes are supposed to be playing out over the course of a single day.  Even if it really is taking this long to find Tien, why would Krillin and Yamcha be with her for the whole search?   They’d be better off heading to Kami’s Lookout, so they can start training for the Saiyans.

Speaking of Tien, Launch is on the run from the cops for stealing a bunch of money for Tien.

She eludes the police with a grenade launcher.

So she escapes with the loot.   Most of it anyway, a lot spilled out of the back while she was being chased.

But never mind that, here comes Vegeta.   He and Nappa are on their way to Earth, and they set their space pods to put them in stasis for the year-long journey, but Vegeta programmed it to wake them up at a certain point along the way, so they could get out and stretch their legs. 

Seems he found a planet along their course for Earth, and since the Saiyans conquer planets to sell for profit, he sees this as a way to make some nice profit on the side.  This seems a bit out of character for Vegeta, given what we learn about him later on.   I would think that the Planet Trade business is just something he puts up with until he can find a way to get out of it.    So it’s not that he wouldn’t want to take a pit stop on the way to Earth, but I doubt it would be to score some extra cash.

Anyway, Nappa just wants to get out of the pod and move around a bit, so he’s up for anything.   

And here’s the lucky planet they’re going to.   It’s called Arlia, and it looks really crappy, even from a distance.  There was an episode of Mythbusters where they tested the futility of polishing a turd, and it ended up with them making piles of dung into spheres.    That’s what Arlia looks like. 

The planet actually manages to look even worse up close.   I don’t know if the boys meant to set down in a desolate area like this, but I always got the impression that most of the planet looks like this, so they didn’t have much choice.   Vegeta concedes that they probably won’t find a buyer for Arlia after all.   I figure this is the sort of planet a Space Trillionaire would buy, but only because he wants to feel like a Space Quadrillionaire.

Suddenly these big bug people show up.    I don’t know why they’re so much bigger than Nappa, when the rest of the Arlians we see are not.   There’s a lot we don’t know about the Arlians, and we’ll probably never know.    They threaten to arrest the Saiyans and take them to King Moai.

Nappa’s eager to fight them, but Vegeta orders him to stand down for the moment, since he wants to see this Moai guy for himself.    I guess he figures the planets’ leader would be in a more advance (read: valuable) location, which would give Vegeta a better idea of what Arlia has to offer. 

Notable, this is the first indication of Saiyans using telepathy.   Goku uses it later on, and we’ve already seen Master Roshi, Crane Hermit, Korin, and Kami use it, but it always seemed to be this mystical thing that only wise old martial artists could do.    Oh yeah, and King Piccolo could telepathically communicate with his offspring.  

I guess what I find interesting about this instance is that Vegeta uses it rather casually, when he could just as easily whisper to Nappa, or maybe use some nonverbal gesture to get his point across.    The point here may be to indicate just how scary-powerful Vegeta is, but the thing about Vegeta is that anything we see him do can be applied to every other Saiyan character.   If Master Roshi can read minds, it sort of stops there.   If Vegeta can communicate telepathically, that means Nappa, Raditz, Goku, and Gohan can too, along with every other Saiyan character that hasn’t been introduced yet.   Vegeta might be the only one who knows how at this point, but that’s just a matter of skill.

So here’s Moai’s stronghold, and guess what, it’s also a dump.   I’m not complaining about the artwork, mind you.    This scenery is breathtaking.   The twin suns sort of make this look like a face, with the clouds forming a furrowed brow.   It’s like the Arlians’ god is looking down on the castle, and he’s not happy with what he’s seeing.  

Also, while Moai’s fortress looks moderately impessive, it’s surrounded by absolutely nothing.   What happened on this planet?   My guess is that it was ruined by centuries of war, but it’s also possible that the Arlians prefer it like this. 

Vegeta and Nappa are taken to a dungeon, which looks like something from a Prince Valiant comic.    This is the paradox of Arlia, because it looks like the Arlians are generally familiar with alien visitors, implying that they’ve been exposed to advanced technologies, but their own world is backward and medieval.    They don’t even seem interested in the Saiyans’ ships or their scouters.   And they lock them up behind a wooden gate.    And why do they carry swords when they all seem to have some sort of red mouth laser? 

While they wait, the Saiyans meet Atla, one of the native Arlians who’s been imprisoned by Moai.   Well, “meet” may not be the right word.   Atla just starts introducing himself and explaining the backstory while they stand silently and face in his general direction.  

From Atla’s words, it sounds to me like Moai took over the planet fairly recently, perhaps after a long civil war that killed anyone more qualified to rule.  Unconcerned with actually governing his people, Moai just does whatever he pleases, using his unlimited power to enforce his whims.   So there’s a good chance that the planet looks like a dump because of his indifference. 

I dig this sort of thing, because it reminds me of the decline of the Western Roman Empire, where the emperors eventually became little more than figureheads backed by strong military leaders.   Over time, the Roman armies became supplemented by foreign mercenaries, until eventually the top generals were all foreign mercenaries, and eventually they just dispensed with the figureheads and started ruling Italy outright.    I get the impression that the emperors didn’t particularly care that their domain was being usurped by outsiders, because as long as they were comfortable in their palaces then everything was fine. 

There’s kind of a similar pattern in the Bible, where you see David and Solomon’s descendants slowly letting the Kingdom of Israel decline.    Rehoboam’s arrogance caused the kingdom to split in two, and while there were a few good kings who embraced piety and reform, a lot of wicked kings abandoned the principles that made their reigns possible.   They worshipped idols and did whatever they liked, and then eventually they found themselves surrounded by powerful enemies.   The later kings were reduced to vassals, but they didn’t seem too concerned about that as long they got to sit in their palaces and pretend everything was okay.

Atla laments that now Moai is capturing space aliens on top of oppressing his own people, which suggests that Moai only sees his rule as a right to oppress other people for his own amusement.  

I wrote about this episode some time back, comparing Arlia to Westeros from Game of Thrones, or A Song of Ice and Fire or whatever the hell it’s supposed to be called.   I’ve never read the books because I need that time to liveblog anime, but everything I’ve heard about it suggests that the whole story is about some backwater planet full of medieval fantasy tropes, and all the leaders are corrupt, venal idiots who only stay in charge because they’re protected by bullshit laws and traditions, or because they’re better at the endless palace intrigue that goes on in the story.   There’s one kingdom that was ruled by a Draco Malfoy clone, and another run by a guy who hunts naked women for sport, and I think some character keeps fetuses in jars for no apparent reason.    I get the impression that a lot of the books is just George R.R. Martin trying to use shock value to pad things out.   That and lore.   If Tom Clancy and Howard Stern co-wrote Lord of the Rings, you might have something pretty similar to Game of Thrones. 

What I’m trying to say here is that Moai seems to just sit around all day watching his subjects fight each other for his own amusment.   He forced Atla’s betrothed, Lemlia, to be his queen (she’s the pink bug lady in the back), and he has soldiers just roaming the wastelands in search of new prisoners to mess with.   His men captured real live space aliens and he’s like “Oh goody!   Bring them before me, because I actually believe they’ll respect the idiotic rules that keep me in power.”    I’m pretty sure this is exactly what King Draco Malfoy Clone would do in this situation.

He looks and talks and acts like a complete buffoon, and he’s just begging for some hero to come along and punch him in the mouthparts.    Except Atla’s in the dungeon, and some other, more competent hero must have gotten killed off three books ago (cf. A Sleet of Testicles).

And this is what I love about this episode.    Vegeta (along with Nappa, of course) are sort of being put into this role of traveling heroes who enter a tyrant’s domain and set things right.    They’re certainly powerful enough to do it, but we already know that’s not what they’re here for.  

Vegeta kills all the gladiators and informs Moai that he only let himself be captured just to get this close to the king.    It astonishes me that Moai needs to have this explained to him.    He’s so used to having his own way that it never dawned on him that anyone could use his arrogance against him.

Nappa strikes his classic pose and kills all the guards.

Then Moai summons an even bigger bug creature named Yedi.  Nappa asks permission from Vegeta to handle this one, which I think is a nice touch. 

Nappa rips off Yedi’s finger and licks the monster blood off his face.    Nappa’s awesome.   He’s just havin’ a good old time.

I forget why now, but rocks start falling, probably because Vegeta’s powers cause the ceiling to break apart.    Moai takes cover behind his throne...

...but a rock ends up killing him anyway.  I woudn’t think that’s a vital area, but what do I know about Arlian anatomy?    It’s kind of fitting that Moai should die like this, in his own throne room/gladiator arena, cowering behind his throne.   He thought it would protect him like it always had done in the past, but in the end he met a power that didn’t respect anything he had accomplished.   The Saiyans ignored his royal robes and saw only a fool, and so he died a fool.

Atla shows up and praises the Saiyans or liberating his planet from Moai’s tyranny.   You know, he could have followed them up here and helped out.   They were all in the same cell, and Vegeta and Nappa destroyed the door and killed all the guards, so what took him so long?

The Saiyans just sort of look at him, and then they get back in their spaceships.

I’m not sure why they even bother flying across the surface.   Maybe they’re still surveying the planet, but it’s a crappy planet no matter what angle you view it from.    At last, Vegeta gives up and they head back into space.

But before they leave, he gets out of his ship and decides to leave a going-away present.    How does Vegeta breathe in space?  That’s one way you can tell which ones are filler scenes.   They usually play faster and looser with this sort of thing.   

On the surface, Atla and Lemlia are reunited at last, and it looks like everything’s going to be okay from now on, thanks to those two heroic aliens who...

LOL JK, Vegeta blew up the whole planet.  

What’s so great about this is that Arlia kind of deserved to die.   Not in the strictest narrative sense, but from a metanarrative viewpoint, it was just a really dumb planet.   Any world that could fall under Moai’s rule probably didn’t have much longer to live anyway, and it’s almost like Vegeta put it out of it’s misery.    I’m not suggesting any of this rationalizes Vegeta’s actions.    This is a horrible, horrible crime, and Vegeta did it like it was nothing to him.   He’s done far worse things with even less compunction.

Even so, he’s not Arlia’s villain, he’s Dragon Ball’s villain, so it’s just satisfying to watch him squash some crappy filler planet that had no redeeming value to the story.   It’s like watching your favorite bad guy wrestler clobber your least favorite good guy wrestler.  

And the narrator sums it up very neatly.    This is what’s headed for Earth.    The Saiyans destroyed Arlia like it was nothing, and what can Earth do to avoid a similar fate?    Z stands for The End.  

But not yet.   Not yet.

Today's Special (Curse word involved)

"You want a whore, buy one.

~ Cersei Lannister

*****

{Atena P.O.V.}

I woke up with a yawn, my eyes fluttering open. I was already expecting this. Sleeping gases never worked on me for too long, so I always needed two doses, versus Vegita and Nappa's one dose.

I turned to stare out the pod's only window and grin as I saw a planet in the distance. I rubbed my stiff neck, hmm, maybe stretching my body would help a bit.

I turned on my communication device, "Nappa, Vegeta! Get up!" I screamed as loud as I could.

I heard a groan from Vegeta, "God dammit Atena." He cursed as he woke up.

I smirked, "You up or-"

"I'm up!" He growled out. "But that idiot clearly isn't. Nappa, wake up!" He commanded.

The older man grumbled, "I'm awake. What's going on?" He asked, confused.

"Nothing much. But Atena wants to make a stop and stretch a bit, get some exercise." At this point, Vegeta didn't need his sister to tell him what was on her mind. He saw the planet and knew what she had wanted instantly. "Planet Arlia is right over there. Maybe we could sell it for a nice price."

I nodded, "I'm pretty sure that the party from Araclion is looking to expand. They'd be more than happy to pay a pretty penny for Arlia."

"That sounds good." Nappa agreed, turning on the lights on his space pod. "I hope these Arlians know how to fight. We haven't had any real competition since I can remember."

We then set a course for Arlia. Once we had entered the planet's gravity, we let it pull us down. And landed with a bang.

I climbed out of my pod, only to stare at a complete waste land with broken ruins scattered around.

"Aww man, what a mess. Not much is there." said Nappa from behind me.

"Obviously not." My brother rolled his eyes. "Let's have a look around shall we."

I sighed, "Sure, nothing better to do."

I watched Nappa pat a pillar lightly, only for it to crumble upon impact. "Are you sure you can get a high price for this planet?" He asked me.

"Doubt it." Vegeta answers.

But I shook my head, "On the contrary. As boring as this run down planet is, it's actually a selling point. We could actually charge more on the basis that the people buying it wouldn't need to tear anything down."

"Let's check around a little longer." Says Vegeta.

Our scouter then begins beeping as the ground near us bursts open and two large, blue caterpillar-like creatures attack us. My eyes zone in on their heads, Where two smaller aliens appear to be riding them.

"You are trespassing on Arlian territory." One of them says to us.

"Make one move and we'll blast ya." The other adds. "It was a good day to go hunting after all."

"Let's give them a proper welcome." His friend snickered.

I stare at the two creatures, unimpressed. I turned to my brother, "A proper welcome would be at least 1000 men, for each of us."

My brother rolls his eyes, "Oh please, just look at them. They'd need 10,000 just to land an attack."

"Let's just blast them." Nappa suggests.

"Eassy." Vegeta commands him.

"Surrender peacefully or face the consequences." One of them threatens.

"No." The Saiyan prince answers.

The bug looks surprised, I think at least. It then quickly says, "You left us no choice. Prepare to be destroyed then!" It fires a red beam from his mouth?... I think.

I can see it hit me, but don't feel a thing. The only trace it leaves is the dust that kicks up from the ground.

"That's the end of them." I can hear one of them say.

I let out a yawn, as the other two gasp to see us continuing to stand in front of them as if nothing had happened.

"Surrender at once!" They shout.

"Yeah! Make me!" Nappa screams back.

'Nappa. Surrender to them.' My brother commands us, through the familia bond.

I stare at him, not amused. 'Come one, let's have some fun, we're here.' He tells me.

I sigh, relenting. 'Fine. I'll play along with your little game. But if this ends up another stupid, wimpy male trying to mate with me, your going to owe me. BIG TIME!'

We extend our wrists forward as the two bug-like aliens begin rejoicing, "Yeah, they're giving up."

"I guess we're too much for them." His partner adds.

"They sure are ugly."

"But they'll be good entertainment for the king. Especially the women." One of them says, cuffing my wrists.

I feel my eyebrow twitch at the comment, 'Screw you Vegeta!' I curse through the link.

*****

I yawed in bordem as we were carried in a cage, pulled by the large insects most likely towards where their king is. 'Well if he's a king, he should at least have some guards.' I told the other two.

'That's exactly what I'm hoping for.' My brother responds.

As were herded into a jail cell, the man cackles, "You should be glad to know your cell doesn't have any rate. The prisoners ate them all."

"Oh, joy." I comment drily.

"Why you!" The bug-like creature shouts.

"Wait!" His friend pulls him back. "You know the king prefers his women to be mark free."

"Remind me to get that guy." Nappa growls.

"Sure." I shrug. "But the king's mine." After the sexist comments I can just feel coming my way, I'm deserve to be the one to end that pathetic life, so I'm calling dibs.

"Look at those aliens!" I hear from my left.

"They sure are ugly."

"Maybe they think we're the ugly ones." Another adds.

"Speak for yourself." His friend grunts back.

"Be quiet all of you. It doesn't matter what they look like. They're stuck in here just like the rest of us." One with a golden bangle on his arm chastises the rest of the group. "They're just more victims of that tyrant king. Locked away and left to rot." he says, rubbing his arm.

Yeah buddy, there's no way I'm pulling the pin on that grenade.

But, apparently, I didn't need to. "I'm afraid you visitors have come at a bad time. The new king of Arlia is very ruthless. He uses the prisoners for his own amusement. He even went as far as to steal my wife Lemlia on the day we were to be married. So you can imagine the pain I feel."

I scoffed, "So he's married and handsy. Isn't he the complete package."

I heard footsteps and turned my attention to two females of the race walking towards the cell holding something... pink?

ARE THOSE FRILLS?!

WHO THE HELL USES THAT MUCH LACE?!

Yeah, hell no!

I turn to my brother, "I'm done." And with that, I blast the cell bars open with an energy blast.

The guards instantly begin filling in, only to be met with the same fate as the cell blasts.

"Couldn't leave any for us?" My brother raises an eyebrow.

"Oh come on. Perhaps the ones upstairs may be stronger, though I doubt it." I suggest.

We walk upstairs and to the loudest room in time to hear the king calling for us.

"Don't put yourself out." says Vegeta, "We're already here."

"What's the meaning of this? Why don't these prisoners have an armed escort? And why is that female dressed in such a manner?"

"Dressed? You mean that pink monstrosity? Yeah, you wouldn't catch my dead body in that!" I scoffed.

"I don't know my sire." The alien next to him answered. "No orders were sent to the dungeon."

"Your guards met with an unfortunate accident." Vegeta answered.

"How dare you?"the king shouted, "Soon it will be your turn to be met with an unfortunate accident!" He screams at my brother, and then turns to me. "And you! You should be honoured that I even considered you."

I raised an eyebrow, "Oh please. You aren't even strong enough to be considered my pet, let alone my mate."

Please, as if I ever consider a man like him. He looked like he wouldn't even be able to pin me down. As a Saiyan it was in my natural instincts to desire a strong mate. My true mate may have died on our planet. But that doesn't mean I'd ever even think of having a child with such a weakling.

The man on the throne growls before turning to the cotton candy like women to his right. "You may not want to watch this my dear."

I sighed in exasperation and put a hand on my hip, "Yeah, sure. Tell her to turn away after you were just talking about doing things with another women, you disgusting pig."

"Why you! My guards shall make short work off this repulsive creatures."

"Really?" My brother asks in mock surprise.

"Ah, let's see." The man nodes, tapping his finger. "Yes, we'll test the big one with the shiny head against our champion in combat. The little one may go next, and we'll save the women for last. Now teach them a lesson."

A large alien from behind us then jumped at Nappa, only for Vegeta to shoot a line of energy blast out of his index finger and middle finger. Blasting his head clean off, and killing him instantly.

"Huh? I guess that makes you the new champion Vegeta." Nappa comments.

My brother chuckles only for the king, still calmly counter with. "Not bad. But 10 of our finest warriors have already mastered techniques using energy just like yours."

"They have?" Vegeta asks, turning around, "Interesting. We'd like to fight them."

I nod, "Who knows. Maybe I'll finally get to stretch a bit."

"Ready?" The saiyan prince asks.

The king let out a cry of outrage, "I'll see you suffer for your insolence!"

"Yeah, whatever." Nappa responded, "Can we get on with this already."

"Ah, how dare you!"

I chuckled, "Easy, you just need to spit out the words."

His 'elite' guards became to surround us, and fire off a red energy blast from their mouths in unison.

I touched the small sparks that were left behind. "How weak." I sighed.

"Was that it? It felt real good. It was refreshing." Vegeta antagonised them.

"Oh. I'll make you pay." The king growled. "If you think you can just walk out of here. You're sadly mistaken."

"You know what's funny, Vegeta?" I turned to my brother. "He keeps saying 'I' as if he's going to be the one fighting. It's hilarious."

"Guards! Attack! Destroy them!"

I sighed, "All right. Play times over." I created a circle of energy around me, and then expanded it outward. Then, when it was at the feet of the men, I shot the bright ring of energy upward, slicing off various parts of the aliens. Killing them.

"Aww come on Antenna. Couldn't you have left any for us." Nappa complained.

"What's the point?" I asked, rolling my eyes. "They're all weak."

"Open the gates!" The king commanded in fear.

I then began to hear gears turning and a section of the ground in front of us open. And from it, a large brown insect rose.

"So it's the giant bug from the ground trick?" My brother scoffed.

I shrugged, "I personally liked the giant rat a little better. It's screams were surprisingly nice."

"You need to destroy these creatures. They're bad. Very, very bad!" The king ordered the giant beast pointing at us."

"That's it!" I growl. "I'm done." I walked over to the king, startling him. "Please die." I smile at him kindly, before flicking his forehead with my index finger, and sending his head flying off his body.

"We're bad?" Nappa asks.

"Well a little." Vegeta answers.

"Correction." I challenge, "We're bad people, but great Saiyan's." I pretend to wipe a tear from my eye, "Oh how proud daddy must be."

Vegeta scoffs, "Daddy's girl."

I smirk, "Oh please, your just jealous that I was the favourite."

The large insect takes a swipe at us, only for us to jump up, like some kind of game of skip rope.

Nappa lands on some steps, and the giant bug gives chase.

"Lucky." I pout. "The only thing maybe worth fighting."

It then tries to lunge for Vegeta, only to miss and lose his balance, crashing onto the ground.

It begins shooting lasers at us, at which point we begin flying around.

"Hey ugly!" Nappa calls it. It thrusts a fist at the bald man, only for Nappa to grab the claw.

The bug begins the whimper as Nappa pulls his claw right out.

The creature makes a desperate attempt to capture him in his hands, only for Nappa to jump away at the last second.

"Hey! I got one more little surprise for you." Nappa then throws an energy ball straight at it, blowing him up.

The remaining aliens began crawling out, and at that point I checked out. "See yeah. I'm going back to sleep." With that I enter my pod, and once again set the coordinates for Earth. Only for once again my inner beast begins crawling around in my mind.

'We'll get some action soon." I tell her, figuring she was just feeling caged. I only hear her mutter something about mate.... before the sleeping gas kicks in, and I fall asleep.

*****

There's an Easter egg up there, did anyone spot it?

Heads up, there will definitely be Chi-Chi bashing. For all of you who like her, sorry. But it had to be done for the sake of the story. Remember, this is a fanfiction, so will by amplifying all her flaws by like 50, which can make anyone seem bad. So don't hate on me, the story, or the real Chi-Chi (and she tries her best in her situation). Because this is just a fanfiction.

Also someone pointed out to me that I accidentally wrote Vegeta's name with an 'i', as Vegita, a couple times. So sorry for that guys. And thanks for pointing that out, I'll try my best not to make that mistake again

Another thing I will be changing is - as the story progresses, Goku's saiyan instincts will help sharpen his mind, and his other senses. So smarter, and slightly darker and possessive Goku.

You can read the other chapters of this story (in order) on Wattpad, Quotev, Fanfiction.Net, Ao3, or Webnovel - Under the username Animeloverforever1127 (Under the same title of course). Or you could shuffle around my tumbler, (I’ll try to keep my tags constant) but I’d go with the first - just seems like a lot less work.

Sarada, Princess of the Saiyans [’Season’ 1 Episode 2]

Okay so to clarify, this 'book' will encompass the first 25 or so episodes that Sarada and Vegeta are involved in. That might put this ending right after they leave earth. We'll see.

Here’s the link to the first chapter.

Anyway, without further ado, let's dive into the next chapter!

Side note: If anyone has a title suggestion for this story, I'd love to hear it!

God Bless and Good Day!

~The Lupine Sojourner

After setting the course for Earth and going into stasis, the next thing I knew was Vegeta's voice over the scouter.

"Sarada, wake up! Nappa, you too! Wake up!" I blink owlishly as the lights come on and I grimace.

"I hear you, Vegeta," I grumble. Then look out the pod window and check the navigational computer. "Wait...this isn't Earth. Vegeta, what's going on?" I ask.

"I was about to ask the same thing." Nappa concurs, groaning as he came awake, too.

"It's nothing much," Vegeta replies. "but I thought we´d make a stop. Stretch our legs a bit, get some exercise." I sigh.

"And where is this pit stop supposed to-" I check my navigational readings. "Wait, Arlia?! Why are we stopping here?!" I growl. "This planet isn't-"

"Maybe we could sell it for a nice price." Vegeta explains, cutting my complaint off. Truth be told, I was only after the Dragonballs. I didn't feel like another genocide before then. Before I can voice any of this, Nappa beats me to it.

"That sounds good." Nappa says, and I sigh.

"Alright, fine. Shouldn't be too hard." I add. No sense arguing with Vegeta when he has his mind set on something.

"I hope these Arlians know how to fight!" Nappa says, chuckling evilly. I hope this is quick; I hate extended missions. "We haven't had any real competition since I can remember." I put my cheek on my fist and roll my eyes.

"We haven't been on many missions recently, either." I point out.

"Like any pathetic race can compare to the elite Saiyan warriors, anyway." Vegeta replies testily. I refrain from pointing out that the only Saiyans left were the elites, and chose to just sigh.

"You're right." I then spot Arlia up ahead. Soon, we land. I'm not impressed at all when I step from my pod to find a barren wasteland littered with ruins and old buildings barely standing.

"What a mess." Nappa groans.

"Indeed. This place is pathetic." Vegeta comes out and looks around.

"Nothing much to this place." Nappa adds. Vegeta tilts his head.

"Let's have a look around, shall we?" He asks. I nod.

"Lead the way." We wander around, finding little to disprove our musings earlier.

"Are you sure we can get a good price for this heap?" Nappa asks. Vegeta watches a few small clouds drift by, frowning as if insulted by them.

"Doubt it." He replies. I sigh.

"Maybe we should go. We've stretched our legs." I suggest. Nappa and Vegeta shake their heads.

"We haven't gotten in any exercise." Vegeta points out.

"We could spar before we leave." I suggest." Vegeta shakes his head.

"No, let's look around a little more. There has to somethin- -" Before Vegeta can finish, our scouters go off, and we turn in the indicated direction to find two giant worm-like creatures. Vegeta tenses instantly, a very subtle trace of fear in his eyes for a moment, then he realizes they're more like a bug and relaxes.

On the bug things sit a few Arlians, pointing threateningly at us. "You are trespassing on Arlian territory!" The apparent leader growls, his voice gravelly and annoying.

"Make one move and we'll blast yah!" The other one adds. He chuckles. "It was a good day to go hunting, after all." I narrow my eyes and scoff. If this is how we're gonna be treated, killing them's fine by me.

"Let's give them a proper welcoming!" The second one sneers, drawing a sword and snickering. I sigh, playing with a strand of my hair, bored with their threats.

"Can we kill them?" I ask, voice low. Didn't want to go pissing these Arlians off if that's not what Vegeta had in mind.

"Yeah, let's blast 'em!" Nappa agrees. Vegeta subtly shakes his head.

"Easy." He replies with arms crossed, eyes on the Arlians.

"Surrender peacefully, or face the consequences!" The first Arlian that spoke growls, tiring of not being taken seriously. Vegeta smirks.

"No!" He calls back. The Arlian doesn't seem terribly shocked at this, gripping his sword and spear tighter.

"Fine, have it your way!" He replies. "Prepare to be destroyed!" a simple Ki blast comes from it, but it hits Nappa, and he didn't even flinch. I cough, waving away the dusty smoke more filling the air.

"That's the end of them." The apparent leader (the first Arlian that had spoken) muses, it and the others dismounting and taking a few steps toward us.

"And I showered just before we left." I grumble, dusting myself as best I could.

"Stop complaining." Vegeta snaps. I roll my eyes.

"I was only teasing, brother." I retort, hand on hip.

"Surrender at once!" The Arlians threaten, readying their weapons.

"Yeah? Make me!" Nappa roars back. I was about to leap out with Nappa and deal with these cretins, but then I hear Vegeta's voice in my head.

"Nappa!" Just that one word and I flinch, as does Nappa. After all, Vegeta could kill either of us if he wished. "Surrender to them." He orders. "Let's have a little fun while we're here." I frown.

"I don't see how surrendering to them will be fun, but alright." I reply mentally, relaxing and putting my hands up.

"Fine…" Nappa grumbles aloud.

"Move in! They're giving up!" The Arlians call, coming closer. Much as I hate it, I let them cuff my hands.

"Guess we were too much for them." Another adds. I roll my eyes. If only Vegeta hadn't told us to surrender, we'd have very easily destroyed them.

"They sure are ugly." The third one grumbles. I frown.

"Says you. Looked in a mirror lately?" I reply, too low for him to hear. They load us into a cage that's dragged behind the giant bug things. I lean against the bars, frowning. "This is humiliating!" I growl.

"Patience, Sarada." Vegeta replies. "Imagine their surprise when we destroy them. They'll never know what hit them." I crack a smile. The worse they treated us, the more I itched to get to blasting. I hate being forced to submit to opponents weaker than I am.

Just as I was reaching the point of tempting fate by ignoring Vegeta's orders and destroying these idiots, we stop and are told to exit the cage. We pass by an arena of sorts where pathetic fights were being conducted haphazardly. I roll my eyes.

If this was the best of the Arlian's fighters, we'd destroy them without even getting warmed up.

We're then escorted to a cell down in the dungeon. There was a lot of groaning and moaning from the small crowd of other prisoners. I grit my teeth to avoid making a scene, following Vegeta's lead. This whole world was pretty pathetic. "Get in there, off-lings!" Our escort growls, shutting the cell door and locking it. "You're lucky your cell don't have rats; the prisoners ate 'em all!" He continues with a weird cackle.

"Remind me to get that guy, okay?" Nappa says once the Arlian's out of earshot. I smirk.

"As long as I don't get him first." I reply.

Nappa snorts. "We'll see who gets who in the end." He muses. I nod. Vegeta laughs.

"Look at those aliens!" A prisoner calls. We turn.

"Goodness, but they're an ugly trio, aren't they?" I narrow my eyes. Were they asking to get destroyed?

"Maybe they think that we're the ugly ones! Did you ever think of that?" The first voice huffs.

"Speak for yourself." He replies. There's more chatter among the prisoners before a voice called above all the others', silencing them.

"Quiet, all of you!" He calls. "It doesn't matter what they look like." He muses. "They're stuck in here like the rest of us." Not for long. I reply internally. If Vegeta wasn't talking to them, it was probably wise to assume he didn't want us talking to them, either. "Can't you see?" a few murmurs circle the gathered Arlians. "They're just more victims of the tyrant king, locked away and left to rot." I blink. So this was another civilization under the thumb of a tyrant.

...Now I might almost regret destroying them. Almost. The Arlian that had silenced the crowd then turns to us. "I'm afraid you visitors came at a bad time." He calls. I almost respond, but he continues. "The new king of Arlia is very ruthless! He uses the prisoners for his own amusement." Try being forced to commit global genocide on a daily basis most of your life. Once again, I keep this retort inside. Until Vegeta starts talking, it's probably best if we don't make a scene till we break out of here. "He even went so far as to steal my wife, Lemlia, on the day that we were to be married, so you can imagine the pain I feel." I do feel bad that he had to lose his wife that way. Maybe they could find each other before we're done killing everyone. That way, they'd see each other again, at least. Eventually, the prisoners see we're not chatty and return to sulking. After a minute or two, I hear a distant rumbling. I raise a brow.

"What's that?" I ask before I stop myself. The prisoners draw back a little from the direction it's coming from. I then hear a distant, faint scream of terror.

"That...that is The Pit of Yeti." The Arlian whose wife was stolen replies. Vegeta, Nappa, and I raise a brow, as well. I blink a few times.

"And what does that mean?" I press. Vegeta wasn't stopping me, so I assume I'm okay to keep talking.

"It's where the failed warriors are devoured by Yeti, a gigantic beast the king keeps for when there's no other entertainment to be found." I sigh.

"I see." Vegeta moves toward the door.

"Well, I think it's time. Don't you two?" I chuckle and walk over.

"I'd say so." I agree. Nappa cracks his knuckles.

"It's been time since we landed here." The Arlian I'd been talking to approaches.

"Hold on. What are you doing?" He asks. I turn to Vegeta.

"Can I break the door?" I ask, ignoring the bug behind me. Vegeta shrugs.

"I don't see why not." I turn back to the Arlian.

"This." I reply to his question raising my hand and releasing a wave of Ki that decimates the cell and most of the prisoners. "Oops. Guess I went overboard." I note, laughing. Vegeta smirks.

"To the contrary. I don't think you released enough energy, sister. But no matter; let's handle the guards and pay the king a little visit before we destroy this place." I nod.

"After you, brother." I reply. I let Vegeta and Nappa take care of the guards as we walk up to the arena we'd been led through earlier.

"Aliens? Have the guards bring them to my chamber immediately!" I hear a voice I assume is the king up ahead. "Maybe they can provide some entertainment fit for a king." We walk into the open arena unhurriedly.

"Don't put yourself out; we're already here." Vegeta calls and the few Arlians in the room are stunned.

"What is the meaning of this?" The king demands. "Why don't these prisoners have an armed escort in my chamber?"

"I don't know, sire; no orders were ever sent to the dungeon!" the attendant replies, shaken. I laugh.

"You see, I grew bored and may have exploded the cell. The guards, though…"

"Met with an unfortunate accident." Vegeta finishes, smirking.

"How dare you?!" The king growls. "Soon, it will be your turn to meet with an 'unfortunate accident'." I scoff.

"Doubt that." I snark back. The king turns to the female (I assume this is the wife that was stolen from that one prisoner; shame he didn't get to see her again. Oh well; can't be helped).

"You may not want to watch this, my dear." She turns her head.

"Very well." She replies.

"I'll see that my guards make short work of these repulsive creatures."

"Really?" Vegeta asks. The king thinks it over.

"Ah, let's see...yes, we'll test the big one with the shiny head first against my champion in combat. We'll save the female and short male for last; they won't put up much of a fight, I'm sure." I snicker. This moron had no idea… he motions to the champion. "Now teach them a lesson!" We turn to see a rather burly Arlian approach wearing gladiator armor like the guards and prisoners, with the same sword and shield.

"Yes, sire." The champion even sounds strong, but unfortunately, he's up against a Saiyan. He never had a chance.

"And, Esaur; I'll make sure you retire a wealthy man if you can destroy all three of them, now begin!" The king throws a handkerchief and I take a half step back.

"Have fun, Nappa." I muse wryly. Almost before I'm done speaking, the champion leaps at us, sword up and yelling. Vegeta raises two fingers and kills him in one shot, decapitating him.

"Guess that makes you the new champion, Vegeta." Nappa notes, chuckling. Vegeta chuckles, as well.

"Not bad," The king calls, "but ten of our finest warriors have mastered techniques using energy just like yours." I raise a brow.

"Then why waste time with that moron as the first opponent?" I grumble low.

"They have?" Vegeta replies louder. "Interesting. We'd like to fight them." He continues. The smirk widens. "Ready?" He taunts. The king stiffens in irritation.

"I'll see you suffer for your insolence!" The king roars. I laugh.

"Well, hate to disappoint, but you'll be the one suffering when this is over." I retort.

"Yeah, can we get on with this already?" Nappa asks. The king is even more enraged.

"How dare you!?"

"Come on, your Highness! Bring on that cricket brigade of yours!" Nappa taunts. "We're ready!" The warriors come from around the room, encircling us.

"Take a good look at my elite royal guards! Now you won't be talking so tough, will you?" In response, we let them blast us. Our stronger Ki is easily able to keep the energy from making contact with us. Vegeta chuckles.

"Was that it?" He asks coyly. "It felt good. Real...refreshing." I scoff.

"Yeah, I might just fall asleep it was so soothing."

"Ergh, I'll make you pay!" One of the guards growls. "You think you can just walk out of here?! You are sadly mistaken." I yawn.

"Still bored. We'll be out of here in less than five minutes." I reply. "And we won't even break a sweat."

"Guards, attack!" The king orders. "Destroy them!"

"We got 'em now!" They cry, coming closer. "Attack!" Vegeta raises the same two fingers and performs the same thing again. He takes out a few of the guards and I get into a stance.

"Who's next?" I taunt. One makes the mistake of coming too close. I barely touch him and he goes flying, crumpling lifeless to the ground. "Anyone- -Nappa, c'mon!" I growl as Nappa begins powering up.

"Let him have his fun, Sarada." Vegeta says and I huff but stand down. Within seconds, Nappa released the pent up energy and it completely destroys the guards. Nothing was left except the King, the stolen Queen, and the advisor. Then, from behind us, we hear clanking like gears being turned and up comes a rather large Arlian that seems feral.

Interesting.

"So. It's the old Bug-in-the-Ground trick." Vegeta muses, unconcerned.

"Not impressed." I add, smirking. The king comes down a few steps and points to us.

"Yeti, destroy these creatures! They're bad! Very bad!" I laugh.

"Running away to your pet monster, eh? What a pathetic king you are." I growl. A real king would handle threats to his people himself, not rely on a beast like this.

"We're bad?" Nappa asks as if the thought was just occurring to him.

"Well...a little." Vegeta replies, an almost wry tone in his voice. I roll my eyes.

"Vegeta, we destroy planets for a living. Yeah, we're bad." He shrugs.

"If it pays well, who cares?" Before I can reply, Yeti starts to come toward us. We lead the giant beast on a good chase, never letting a single attack or energy blast hit us, terrifying the few other Arlians around and making a mess of the arena. Finally, Nappa has enough.

"Hey, ugly!" He calls, catching a finger of the hand that tries to swat him. After briefly struggling with it, he tears the finger off, leaving Yeti howling in pain. Yeti then tries to grab Nappa, who zips toward Yeti's tail.

"Nappa, let me finish him. You got to destroy the guards." I call before he can do anything, moving closer.

"Yes, why not, Nappa?" Vegeta calls. "You've had your fun, let my sister have a turn." Nappa obediently withdraws closer to Vegeta. I walk over unhurriedly, cracking my knuckles. Yeti charges me and I dodge like Nappa did, raising two fingers. I send a simple wave to chop him in half horizontally, walking toward the head.

"Poor poor Yeti." I taunt as the beast struggles to do anything against me. "Never stood a chance. I'll at least end your suffering quickly." I tell him, managing a sarcastic tone despite actually meaning it. This poor beast didn't really have a choice in what he became, did he? Like us Saiyans.

I then extend my hand, unleashing a blast that completely incinerated him.

"No! Impossible!" The king cries, retreating. I turn to watch, allowing Vegeta to destroy him.

"Coward." Vegeta growls. The energy he releases sends rocks flying around, a few smacking the cowardly king, who pleas fall on deaf ears as Vegeta continues the assault. Once the throne crumbles and crushes the king, Vegeta taps his scouter. "Computer." He calls. "Send the pods at once." I sigh.

"Well, it was fun while it lasted, I guess." I muse, dusting myself off. "I, for one, am ready to continue to earth."

"Agreed." Nappa adds. Vegeta nods.

"Then no more diversions." He says.

"Do you three realize what you have done?" The prisoner I'd talked to says, suddenly appearing. I blink.

"Oh. You're still alive." I mumble to myself. Now he might be able to reunite with his wife, whatever her name was.

"You have freed our planet from centuries of bondage." The Arlian continues.

"We did it for sport; not because we care about your stupid problems." I grumble. "It was a mere coincidence it ended up freeing your people."

"And Arlia is now a place where a new beginning can be made." Always the optimist, this guy. Too bad my brother will likely blow up the planet. "From now on, you three visitors from space will be known as heroes to our people." I almost like the sound of that. Too bad the title won't last. "I can't begin to tell you how very grateful I am."

"Keep your gratitude; we're leaving." I call as the pods come to a stop above us. We fly up to them unhurriedly.

"Farewell, my friends! You will always be welcome here, on Arlia!" The prisoner calls, waving. I almost wave back, but why give him false hope? He won't last another thirty seconds.

"Let's go, you two. We couldn't give this place away if we wanted to." Vegeta grumbles over the scouter. I nod.

"Agreed. Such a shame they think they'll be able to start over." I sigh and prepare the stasis settings.

"But that thing back there said we were heroes." Nappa counters. I shrug.

"Well, we were there for less than five hours. Anyone can misjudge someone in that time." I retort with another sigh.

"She's right; being a hero is highly overrated." Vegeta agrees.

"Too bad. This was just a big waste of time, then. Ugh." Nappa sighs.

"Yeah, but we did stretch our legs and get some fresh air." I point out with a touch of coyness. "Too bad we didn't even break a sweat."

"We do still have Earth to conquer." Vegeta counters. I blink.

"Oh yeah. Good point." I then finish setting up the timer for the stasis as Vegeta notes that he has unfinished business to take care of. I sigh and stop the pod.

"This planet has a serious bug problem." Vegeta quips. I don't watch as the energy blast hits the planet. Just another species destroyed.

Just another act of genocide we'd have on our heads.

Just another day in the life of a Saiyan.

"There's nothing like a little fireworks when you say goodbye." Vegeta notes wryly. I roll my eyes, but don't comment.

"Ha! And the moon, too. Nice touch!" Nappa compliments over the sound of a planet dying.

"I think we made the universe a cleaner place today." Vegeta concludes as the sound fades into the nothingness of space.

"They really deserved what they got." Nappa affirms. "I just hope Earth is a lot better than this planet."

Vegeta nods, "It will be. Earth has the Dragonballs. Once we find them, we'll be able to wish for whatever we want." I nod to myself. That was the entire reason I'm going to Earth. I'd rather not kill anyone, but if I have to, I have to. Vegeta then turns to my pod. "You're being awfully quiet, Sarada. Everything alright?" I nod.

"Yes. Just setting up the stasis and trying to find the recording of Raditz's time on earth. I'm curious as to what I missed." Vegeta nods.

"Good thinking, Sarada. Don't stay awake too long catching up, though. I want you at peak strength when we arrive. No sense going into this with even the slightest weakness." I nod.

"Of course, Vegeta. He wasn't on Earth long, so it won't be difficult." He nods.

"Well then, I'll leave you to it." I nod and we take off again. I do find the recording and am shocked at how soft Kakarot had gotten in his time on the planet. He cared for the people there and had even started a family, and seemed to genuinely care about them. Of course, the amnesia from an accidental blow to the head made him softer, as well. Raditz was quick to exploit his brother's weakness by kidnapping his nephew. The kidnapping seemed to enrage Kakarot, who recruited an ally, defeated his brother, and retrieve his son (though he died to make sure his ally's attack landed).

I find myself rooting for Kakarot, discovering a bit of myself in this seemingly kind-hearted Saiyan. It seems it is possible to be gentle and be of Saiyan heritage. Maybe...just maybe...I can find the balance Kakarot seems to have found.

Maybe I can finally let that spark of warmth in my heart grow into a fire for all to see. The Dragonballs seemed to be the key to reaching this balance, so by any means necessary, I'll get them and wish for eternal life so we can get rid of Freeza and find our own path in life!

I swear I will!

I know I know! The ending is mega cheesy, but, ah, what can I say? I'm a sap! XD Anyway, hope you all liked this 'Episode'! :) Let me know what y'all thought of it!

Oh, and before I forget, someone on Fanfiction . net suggested a time-lapse and power level update, so...

Time lapsed; I don't remember exactly, but I think it's been around five months since Raditz and Goku were killed, give or take, right? Gohan's still on his own and Goku still hasn't reached King Kai, so I think that's a safe assumption. Please feel free to correct me!

Power Level: Sarada is usually only about 50 or so 'points' behind Vegeta, so let's say his power level is around 18000, like someone mentioned before they knew he powered up. That would put Sarada's power around 17500 or so. Nappa, I wanna say, was closer to 15000 or 10000, right? Again, please correct me if I'm wrong!
