Year 737 of the Ai Calendar.
Planet Vegeta, Seventh Universe.
Vegeta stood with his hands in his pockets, looking up at the white clouds drifting across the sky, a slight smile on his lips.
At only five years old, the sharp glint in his eyes was incongruous with his age.
Just yesterday, Ye Chen, a hardcore Dragon Ball fan, had transmigrated into the world of Dragon Ball, possessing the body of the five-year-old Saiyan Prince Vegeta.
Ye Chen was bewildered for quite some time.
*I've become Vegeta?*
*The eternal second-place in the Dragon Ball universe?*
However, shortly after, Ye Chen was overcome with excitement, exhilaration, and anticipation. A complex mix of emotions surged through him.
Overall, Ye Chen quite liked the character of Vegeta.
Unlike the silly Son Goku, Vegeta had more personality and better aligned with Ye Chen's own persona.
So, from today onwards, I will take Vegeta's place and become the strongest Saiyan in this world.
I am Vegeta!
Kakarot, you are the eternal second-place.
Vegeta habitually tucked his hands into his pockets and looked up at the clouds drifting by.
Soon!
Frieza would destroy Planet Vegeta in the near future.
Vegeta had only transmigrated yesterday and had already adapted to the body.
He held no affection for this planet that was about to be destroyed, so he had no intention of saving it.
The time given to Vegeta was too short.
How could I save it?
Besides, the true mastermind behind the destruction of Planet Vegeta was Beerus.
Should I confront Beerus now?
Let's leave this planet first.
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta leaped into the air and ascended into the sky.
Vegeta traced an arc through the sky, rapidly flying towards the spaceship launch base.
...
Spaceship launch base.
Several young Saiyans were gathered here at this moment.
Among them were the young Nappa and Raditz.
In addition to Nappa and Raditz, there were three other Saiyan youths of similar age.
Well... the names of these three Saiyans were not important...
The five youths were discussing going out to battle.
Saiyans were a warrior race. At this age, Saiyans with a certain level of combat power would generally leave their home planet to fight.
Only by doing so could they continuously improve themselves.
Saiyans also continuously increased their combat power in the process of battle.
"Nappa, didn't you say you were going to invite Prince Vegeta to join us?" Raditz asked.
"Tch, who knows? I went to see His Highness, and I felt that His Highness was acting... odd..." Nappa shook his head.
"Odd? What do you mean?" Raditz was startled.
"How should I put it... I felt as if he had suddenly become a different person," Nappa scratched his bald head.
"Hahaha, Nappa, you're hilarious! How could that be? You must be joking?" Raditz burst into laughter.
"Perhaps His Highness disdains playing with us," another Saiyan youth said. "After all, His Highness's combat power has already exceeded 10,000."
"It seems a bit dangerous for us to go to that planet," Raditz said, cupping his chin with his small hand, acting like a miniature adult, his long hair nearly dragging on the ground. "If Prince Vegeta isn't going, maybe we should choose another planet instead."
"Whoosh!"
As they were talking, Vegeta, with his hands in his pockets, descended from the sky.
"Prince Vegeta!"
The children present bowed in unison towards Vegeta.
Vegeta paid them no mind, walking directly towards the spaceship.
This was the spaceship launch base, with all sorts of spaceship models.
Vegeta scanned the spaceships with a glance.
Finally, Vegeta stopped at a medium-sized spaceship.
This spaceship could accommodate about 20 people, and its type and model were somewhat similar to a scaled-down version of Frieza's large spaceship.
The spaceship also contained spherical mini-spaceships.
The entrance to the ship was located above the center, and one had to fly up to enter.
Vegeta took to the air.
"Prince Vegeta!" Raditz flew over rapidly from a distance.
"Is something wrong?" Vegeta asked.
"Prince Vegeta... where are you planning to go? Are you going out to battle?" Raditz asked bravely.
"Of course," Vegeta replied.
"Can we go with you?" Raditz asked again.
"As you wish," Vegeta replied indifferently.
"Yes! Then we shall set out with His Highness!" Raditz said excitedly and waved to Nappa and the others below.
Nappa and the others immediately took to the air, appearing beside Vegeta.
Vegeta had little interest in them and directly entered the spaceship.
Nappa, Raditz, and the others followed suit.
Ten seconds later.
"Whoosh!"
A medium-sized spaceship broke through the planet's atmosphere, instantly appearing in the starlit sky, leaving a trail of light in the dark expanse of the universe.
Vegeta stood by the window, gazing out at the entire starry sky, feeling a mix of emotions and complexity.
"Look, there's a large spaceship over there! Whose spaceship is that?" Raditz stood by another window, pointing at a distant point of light, and muttered involuntarily.
"It looks like Frieza's spaceship!" Nappa said. "Strange, why would Frieza's spaceship be near our planet? Is he coming to cause trouble on Planet Vegeta again, like five years ago?"
"What happened five years ago?" Raditz was surprised and asked.
"Hmph, you're still young, so it's normal that you don't know," Nappa explained. "Frieza's army was originally called the Cold Force. Five years ago, King Cold passed the throne to Frieza, and from that day on, it was renamed Frieza's army. That guy Frieza is a more brutal ruler than his father!"
"So that's how it is," Raditz scratched his head and looked towards Vegeta. "When will your father pass the throne to you, Prince Vegeta?"
"I'm not interested in the Saiyan throne," Vegeta said calmly, tearing off the scouter on his eye, and added indifferently.
"Oh?" Raditz was taken aback.
"My goal is to become the number one warrior in the universe!" Vegeta smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.
...
Frieza's spaceship.
Frieza sat on his flying vehicle, laughing heartily.
Beside Frieza stood a blue-skinned, pink-haired female alien, a female named Berryblue.
Berryblue was Frieza's personal attendant, responsible for taking care of Frieza's daily needs.
"Lord Frieza, more and more Saiyans are returning to Planet Vegeta," Berryblue said respectfully.
Frieza nodded with a smile and walked to the spaceship window, gazing at the distant Planet Vegeta.
"This is a perfect opportunity to annihilate the Saiyans in one fell swoop," Berryblue smiled.
"Ah, hahaha..."
Frieza let out a series of eerie laughter, his tail twitching up and down as he roared with mirth.
