Vegeta's Trio, the Ginyu Force

A planet not far from Planet Metamor.

The human towns on this planet looked as though they had just been massacred. Collapsed houses lay everywhere, the ground was cracked, and smoke filled the air...

"Have you two cleared out all the natives on this planet?"

Inside a palace, an eight-year-old child sat upon a throne.

His hairline was very high, his forehead formed a V shape, and he looked rather cool. Yet his voice was as cold and venomous as a snake, utterly devoid of emotion!

Two figures stood beneath the throne: one was a bald, muscular man, while the other was a child with waist-length hair.

This child's hairstyle was very peculiar. If his hair were dyed golden, he would even resemble someone in the Super Three state.

"We've cleared out all the natives on this planet." Raditz lowered his small head, not daring to meet the eyes of the child on the throne.

"Gran was ambushed by natives who played dead back then. Don't worry, we won't make that mistake again."

Even the bald Nappa was somewhat afraid of the child with the V-shaped hairline.

The child seated on the throne was Vegeta. Hearing them mention Gran, veins suddenly bulged on his forehead as he said coldly:

"Gran was trash too. He was clearly an Elite Saiyan, yet he was careless enough to be ambushed by those natives. They even cut off his tail. This is the greatest humiliation of our Saiyan Clan!"

"You'd better have truly cleared out every native on this planet. Otherwise, if you get ambushed, you'll end up just like Gran!"

What had happened to Gran? Naturally, Vegeta had abandoned him!

At that thought, Nappa and Raditz shuddered from head to toe.

They hurriedly flew away from the palace. They needed to inspect the planet one more time.

Only Vegeta remained inside the palace. He gazed at the empty hall, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, he rose from the throne.

"Hmph, damn Frieza! One day, I'll kill you with my own hands!"

The young Vegeta's gaze was incredibly fierce, like that of a little demon.

Three years ago, Planet Vegeta had exploded, and Frieza's attitude toward their squad had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Whenever they had any downtime, they would immediately receive a new mission. Having time to train was simply impossible!

Vegeta had naturally noticed something as well. Before Planet Vegeta exploded, every Saiyan had received a recall order.

His squad had naturally received that order too, but he had ignored it at the time.

Yet soon after that, Planet Vegeta suffered a massive explosion.

According to Frieza, Planet Vegeta had been struck by a meteor, and every Saiyan had died in that explosion.

Planet Vegeta had been hit by a meteor? Could he make up anything more ridiculous?

There were so many powerful warriors on Planet Vegeta. Not to mention his father, King Vegeta—even Raditz's father, Bardock.

Bardock was a powerful warrior with over 10,000 Battle Power!!

With Bardock there, how could a tiny meteor possibly destroy Planet Vegeta?

Clearly... Frieza was lying!

However...

Even knowing Frieza was lying, Vegeta did not dare openly defy Frieza's orders.

So he took his squad and left Frieza Headquarters.

Over the past three years, they had never returned to Frieza Headquarters, and they had continuously ignored orders from headquarters.

At first, Vegeta had worried that Frieza might send someone to kill them.

But as time passed, he realized that Frieza seemed to have stopped caring about them, and orders from headquarters no longer came.

Vegeta did not know what had happened, but clearly, this was a good thing!

Thus, from then on, Vegeta led his squad to train on each planet after looting it.

Only after they had exhausted all the supplies would they continue on to plunder the next planet.

Yet despite no longer carrying out missions from Frieza Headquarters, Vegeta's Squad still lost members.

Starting with Gran, the squad had dwindled until only Nappa and Raditz remained.

"Hmph, a bunch of garbage. Good riddance!"

Vegeta did not care at all about the deaths of his subordinates. He rose from the throne, walked out of the palace, and then shot into the sky.

It was about time to train!

After flying a thousand meters into the air, Vegeta began constantly forming energy blasts and bombarding the human town below.

This foolish Prince Tactics was Vegeta's usual training method!

Boom—!

Boom—!

After more than twenty minutes of ground bombardment, Vegeta was somewhat tired. He had trained so hard; surely he would be able to defeat Frieza someday, right?

At the thought of Frieza kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy after being beaten by him, young Vegeta could not help feeling delighted.

Just then, Nappa and Raditz flew back from the horizon. Clearly, they had used their Scouters to search the planet once more.

"Since you're back, come at me together!"

Without waiting for them to react, Vegeta transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Raditz and Nappa.

"Oh no, Vegeta wants to use us as punching bags again!" Raditz's expression changed drastically.

"What are you standing around for? You don't think we can escape, do you? Get over here!"

The bald Nappa roared loudly.

Vegeta had possessed 1,000 Battle Power from birth (Xiao Bai's guess). Eight years had passed, and Vegeta had now reached 6,000 Battle Power.

Nappa only had 2,500 Battle Power, while Raditz, that piece of trash, had merely 600 Battle Power, placing him at the very bottom of the food chain.

So even together, they could not escape Vegeta's grasp. They might as well resist with all their strength; perhaps that would earn them a few fewer punches!

Meanwhile.

A medium-sized spaceship streaked through the starry universe. Five figures sat in its cockpit, and they were the five members of the Ginyu Force.

"I heard that martial arts genius is only nine years old. At that age, he defeated a powerful warrior with 100,000 Battle Power. Do you think that information is reliable?"

Blue-skinned Burter rested his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful.

Jeice sneered. "Captain Ginyu has trained for so many years and only has 120,000 Battle Power. How could a nine-year-old child possibly possess the strength to defeat someone with 100,000 Battle Power!"

"No, I think it's possible."

Purple-skinned Ginyu had a trace of reminiscence flash through his eyes before he continued, "Some people are born with incredibly powerful strength. I once saw a powerful warrior who possessed over one hundred million Battle Power from the moment he was born!"

Boom—!

Other than Ginyu, the remaining four members trembled.

"H-how much?"

"Over one hundred million Battle Power? How is that possible!"

"How could anyone in this world possess over one hundred million Battle Power?"

"Captain Ginyu, are you sure you aren't talking nonsense?"

The four Ginyu Force members began discussing it among themselves.

Ginyu secretly shook his head. He had been speaking of their king. Back then, he had once considered exchanging bodies with Frieza, but in the end...

Suddenly!

"Captain Ginyu, I think I've found Vegeta on the nearby planet!"

Recoome looked at the spaceship's radar. The location where Vegeta's spaceship had landed had suddenly appeared.

"Vegeta?"

Ginyu's gaze suddenly turned cold. "I heard this brat plans to betray our Frieza Force. Come on, let's eliminate him for King Frieza first!"

Burter froze for a moment before saying, "What about that martial arts genius? If we don't recruit him, won't King Frieza be angry?"

"Isn't he sparring with someone on Planet Metamor right now? Eliminating Vegeta won't take long. After we kill him, it won't be too late to find that martial arts genius."

"Yes!"

The medium-sized spaceship abruptly changed direction and flew toward the planet where Vegeta was located.
