What if Vegeta Had Been Sent to Earth Instead of Goku?





King Vegeta, ever suspicious of the mysteriously powerful Frieza, decides to send his adolescent son to Earth instead of Bardock’s as a means of protection because in his heart of hearts, he knows even the combined strength of the Saiyan race as it currently stood, was no match for Frieza’s power. Though Vegeta as a kid is already snotty and arrogant, the full effect of his princely entitlement has not been established by victories from actual battles. Taking out the Saibamen with regularity, though, has made him plenty confidant. And so he reaches Earth:



Vegeta crashes on Earth whish leaves his space ship in ruins and begins his reconnaissance of the planet. He uses his scouter to detect all beings of significant power and discovers Roshi as being the strongest and immediately challenges him to single combat. The fight begins and Vegeta has a clear edge over his elder combatant. He particularly uses his tail to his advantage during the fight and Roshi notices this and resolves himself to deal with the tail first. Through experience, tomfoolery and a lot of luck, Roshi manages to grab Vegeta’s tail and puts the whooping down on Vegeta. As a kid, Vegeta has not yet learned to overcome the tail weakness that “Advanced Saiyan Warriors” have. Too weakened by the beat-down to use the moon-simulation-energy-ball technique to transform, Vegeta is desperate to break out Roshi’s death grip and cuts his own tail off. This allows him to get back in the fight, but drops his overall power level and eventually loses the fight. Beaten within an inch of his life Vegeta pleads for mercy and Roshi takes him on as a student and begins to formally train him.



Meanwhile on Planet Vegeta, Bardock begins to feel rage over the way Saiyans are abused by Frieza, but is not consumed by his anger out of concern for the protection of his sons. Thus, Bardock sneaks Kakarrot and Raditz off planet to an unknown location and beings training them to eventually take out Frieza. Just before Frieza destroys the Saiyan planet, Nappa (as a young adult) is sent by King Vegeta to check on his son on Earth. As the planet is destroyed, Brolly escapes with his father in an energy bubble while Bardock, Kakarrot and Raditz remain ignorant of all these events.



Roshi’s training takes to Vegeta very well as he learns at an exponential rate and Vegeta actually softens up a bit, but deep down Vegeta still feels humiliated and longs to defeat his mentor at some point. Roshi’s training of Vegeta consumes him and refuses to take on other potential students like Krillin. Krillin goes to Tien’s master and is instructed by him. Vegeta trains for the World’s Martial Arts Tournament, meets and defeats Yamcha and Tien, but is defeated by Jackie Chun (Roshi in disguise). This infuriates Vegeta that another being has defeated him and becomes frustrated with Roshi’s training and leaves him to search out the dragon balls. He eventually finds them and wishes for the power to defeat Jackie Chun. Instead of a direct infusion of power, Shenron reveals to Vegeta that Jackie Chun is Roshi. This sends Vegeta into a rage who flies off and kills Roshi almost immediately with the Kamehmeha Wave, but as the battle ends instantly, an earthly born guilt overcomes Vegeta and he deeply mourns and regrets the death of his mentor by his own actions. Vegeta flies off to train in solitude.



Back in space, Kakarrot and Raditz become advanced Saiyans and Bardock stops Raditz on several occasions from almost killing his brother on several training bouts. After several near death recoveries and years of training, Kakarrot surpasses both his father and brother in power level and at that point Bardock feels his family can take out Frieza if it is quick battle and they all attack in unison. They travel to Planet Vegeta to discover that it has been vaporized. They travel to Earth because it was the last known location of the last prince of their race.



Nappa reaches Planet Earth and seeks out Vegeta. Along the way Nappa encounters King Piccollo and kills him for getting in way of his search. Nappa leaves but King Piccollo “gives birth” to Piccollo as he dies. Nappa finds Vegeta training in solitude and offers to escort him back to his planet. Vegeta is not interested in doing anything and refuses. A hot-headed Nappa begins fighting Vegeta to force his hand. The battle is furious and generates tremendous power readings that Yamcha, Krillin and Tien sense and fly out to witness the battle. Vegeta doesn’t fight to his full potential as he is haunted by his sins, but a vision of his father inspires him to survive and eventually destroy Nappa in an incredible release of rage. Vegeta is left on the brink of death but is taken to the hospital by Tien, Krillin and Yamcha.



While recovering, Vegeta experiences a drastic rise in his power level and is so moved by his cohorts in martial arts that he befriends them. He meets Bulma for the first time as she is Yamcha’s girlfriend and the two have an unspoken attraction for each other. Piccollo grows older and enters the martial arts tournament, wins and begins a reign of terror over the people of the Earth. Piccollo kills Krillin, Tien and Yamcha in the process, while Bulma witnesses the horror and gets the message to Vegeta in the hospital that their friends had been killed. Not fully recovered, Vegeta confronts Piccollo and gets whooped on again. While this battle rages on, Bardock, Raditz and Kakarrot land on Earth and split up to find Vegeta. Kakarrot finds Piccollo about to kill Vegeta and steps in. Kakarrot has no problem finishing off a worn Piccollo and the Earth’s dragon balls are destroyed as a result. Eventually all the Saiyans meet Vegeta and tell him what Frieza must have done to their people. Vegeta tells them about the dragon balls to be used to restore his friends and defeat Frieza, but obviously can’t use the Earth ones. Bardock uses the Saiyan computer to find the location of the Namekian race who resemble Piccollo and decide to start searching there for the possible existence of more dragon balls. Bulma constructs a large spacecraft for travel, falls in love with Vegeta and accompanies the four Saiyans to Planet Namek.



Meanwhile, on an isolated planet, Brolly becomes a Super Saiyan and kills his father and every other inhabitant on “New Vegeta.” Brolly begins searching the universe for more death and destruction to satisfy his blood lust and eventually encounters Cooler and his crew in space. He kills them easily but learns of Cooler’s brother who would pose another interesting challenge to his might. Brolly begins his search for Frieza.



Frieza, during this whole time has been continuing his acquisition of planets and learns of the existence of Saiyans and begins to track them down. His spaceship discovers traces of Saiyan warp engine ions near the Plane Namek and follows Bardock and company there.



Bulma makes four copies of her dragon radar and gives one to each Saiyan as they arrive on Namek to search for dragon balls. The Saiyans spilt up and begin their search, but encounter resistance. Raditz is destroyed by Nail and he is eventually confronted by Vegeta, Kakarrot and Bardock in retaliation. Before the three on one commences, Bardock senses Frieza’s presence and explains to Nail the need for immediate action to stop Frieza or Planet Namek would suffer the same fate as Planet Vegeta. Nail does not believe this, but is summoned by Guru telepathically that Bardock speaks the truth. Guru allows the Saiyans to gather the dragon balls except for the one Nail defended and requests the presence of the one named Kakarrot to speak to him personally for some reason. Nail returns to Guru with Kakarrot while Bardock and Vegeta gather the remaining dragon balls with no resistance from the Namekian villagers.



Frieza arrives on planet Namek with the Ginyu Force and they begin searching for Bardock with their scouters. Guru speaks with Kakarrot and pears into his soul. Guru awakens Kakarrot’s hidden powers and tells him something important about his future and the nature of his unique power. Bardock and Vegeta return to Guru’s sanctuary with three dragon balls a piece, but Nail refuses to hand over the remaining dragon ball. Bardock gets pissed at Nail but interrupted by Frieza and crew.



Frieza orders the Ginyu force into a battle royale with Bardock’s Saiyans and an epic confrontation ensues. Bardock kills Guldo and Jeice, Vegeta kills Captain Ginyu and Kakarrot kills Burter while Nail aces Recoome. The three Saiyans are left exhausted and severely worn by battle. Frieza is very pissed and transforms into his second stage. While this occurs, Guru orders Nail to leave the battle on some secret mission. Vegeta demands the last dragon ball and gets it from Guru. Bardock and Kakarrot keep Frieza busy while Guru summons Prounga. Vegeta wishes for the power to destroy Frieza, but is denied by the dragon. Frieza gets pissed at what Vegeta is trying to do and transforms to stage 3. Bardock and Kakarrot start getting beat down severely but continue buying Vegeta time.



Vegeta wishes for immortality, gets it and launches an assault on Frieza. The battle is a stalemate because Vegeta’s power level is not strong enough to kill Frieza and Frieza cannot kill Vegeta. In frustration, Frieza transforms to stage 4 and threatens to kill Bardock and Kakarrot if Vegeta doesn’t hand over the dragon balls. Vegeta is repeatedly given deathblows by Frieza but experiences no advances in power. Since Vegeta is no longer mortal, his power level is capped and can no longer experience drastic changes in power levels (note: this is Garlic Jr.’s problem). The battle continues, but Vegeta is continually slapped out of the way and cannot do anything to stop Frieza.



Suddenly Frieza stops fighting as his scouter senses another huge power level approaching the planet. It is Brolly! Brolly arrives, flashing in full Super Saiyan fashion and tells Frieza he has killed Cooler. Frieza and Brolly begin to fight, but Brolly shows that he is by far superior to Frieza in every way. Nail arrives and informs Guru that the Namekain people are ready! Ready for what? Brolly eventually kills Frieza, but then turns his sights on the Saiyans. Next, he kills Bardock almost instantly which sends Kakarrot into a maddening rage and causes him to transform into a Super Saiyan as well. The two super Saiyans begin fighting as Vegeta watches helplessly. Nail then wishes for a new Planet Namek with one wish and then for the entire Namekian race to be transported there with the last wish.



The only beings left on the planet are Brolly Kakarrot, Vegeta and Bulma. But as the battle between the Super Saiyans intensifies, Kakarrot and Brolly fire energy blasts so large at each other that the blast kills them both and disintegrates half the planet. Vegeta and Bulma retreat back to Earth. Bulma cannot bear Vegeta’s immortal seed and Vegeta remains alone for the rest of the Earth’s existence eternally watching over it, but doing nothing else special with his life.
