Return Voyage

In a starfield far from Planet Vegeta, Saiyan warriors scattered throughout the North Galaxy all received orders from the Frieza Force to return. Though they were full of questions, they responded as usual. Except for a few exiled Saiyans and those stationed in remote regions, they all headed for Planet Vegeta.

Among them was Bardock, the father of the protagonist, Goku.

Bardock had always been suspicious of orders from the Frieza Legion. Ever since Frieza took over the forces King Cold had left behind five years ago and became Planet Vegeta's new ruler, Bardock had sensed the new ruler's distrust of the Saiyans.

Now, with Berryblue, Kikono, and several other veterans at his side, Frieza was gradually taking control of the Frieza Force, and his reliance on the Saiyans had diminished considerably. Bardock had been troubled by a growing sense of foreboding.

Frieza's latest order only deepened his unease.

"I hope nothing happens," Bardock murmured, his gaze growing distant as he looked toward the ships traveling alongside his.

A planet shrouded in moisture.

"Prince Vegeta, we've just received an order from the Frieza Force." A young man over two meters tall was eagerly fighting when he suddenly heard his communicator go beep-beep-beep. He checked it and found an order from headquarters.

"What order?" Vegeta laughed wildly, casually destroying a castle.

The burly young man read the message on his communicator. "The Frieza Legion has ordered us to return to Planet Vegeta immediately. They have an important assignment for us."

"Ignore it. Pretend you didn't hear it." Vegeta impatiently cut him off, then angrily fired a Ki Blast. With a thunderous boom, another distant area was blasted into chaos.

"But it's an order from headquarters."

Vegeta looked displeased. He didn't like Frieza. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he tossed the energy sphere in his hand. It erupted into a mushroom cloud. "Are you going to disobey me?"

"I-I understand."

This young man was Nappa, the Saiyan who invaded Earth alongside Vegeta in the original story and was eventually killed by him. Nappa came from a noble Saiyan family, so he naturally wouldn't dare challenge Vegeta's instructions. But was it really wise to ignore Frieza's order?

"Tch!" Seeing Nappa's timid expression, Vegeta sneered in disdain, then told the other Saiyans to ignore the order from their communicators as well.

On the other side, Roland's older sister Sephiria was also conquering a planet with her combat squad.

It was a high-level planet, and its strongest inhabitants had a battle power of over 5,000. Even a seasoned, battle-hardened Saiyan squad had to tread carefully against such opponents. One wrong move could wipe them all out.

But the battle was now in its final stages. The planet's strongest fighters had been wiped out by the Saiyan warriors a few days earlier, and the scattered resistance that remained could no longer affect the outcome.

"Once we've wiped out the last of the resistance, we can hand the planet over to the Frieza Legion. Be careful not to release too much energy while you're fighting, or you'll wreck the place and ruin its resale value." The squad leader grumbled as he spoke, then casually fired a Ki Blast that leveled a mountain.

"If even the captain can't follow his own advice, don't spoil the rest of us while we're enjoying the fight."

The Saiyan warriors continued to wreak havoc as they pleased. The leader glared at them, then burst out laughing and went on cursing his teammates. Glancing aside, he spotted a graceful figure not far away.

"Sephiria's getting stronger and stronger. I'll make her captain next time. These troublemakers might actually listen to a beautiful woman." He chuckled to himself. A pretty woman was always a pleasure to look at.

Female Saiyans weren't as rough around the edges as the men. Some were fierce fighters, but most were petite and graceful. Sephiria was one of the most beautiful among the Saiyan women. She had a delicate yet spirited air about her, with a slender body and a narrow waist, as if she had been sculpted to perfection. She was a rare beauty.

What's more, she was one of the few elite Saiyan warriors. Though young, she already possessed tremendous strength and commanded considerable respect among her people.

Sephiria coolly glanced at the Saiyan leader, then stepped into the air and appeared hundreds of meters away in an instant. After several rapid dashes, she reached one of the rebels.

Without changing her expression, she kicked with all her might. The tremendous force unleashed a stunning wave of air. The rebel, whose battle power was 2,000, was kicked to pieces. A huge crater more than fifty meters in diameter appeared beneath him, and the shattered ground stretched for over a hundred meters.

"Sephiria, we've received word from the Frieza Force. All Saiyans on missions abroad are to return to Planet Vegeta immediately."

"What are they up to? Are we abandoning this planet?"

High-level planets were rare resources in the universe. Many wealthy people were happy to buy one as a private garden, and they made excellent places to train subordinates.

"Who knows? Maybe they've found a super-planet, the kind you only see once in a lifetime, and it'll take all of us to conquer it..."

"So what do we do?"

"Let's head back. It's a shame to leave this high-level planet after conquering it, but if there really is a super-planet, that's pretty exciting." The other Saiyans burst into laughter. Nothing made them happier than a fight.

Sephiria's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She shook her head and followed the others onto the ship bound for Planet Vegeta.

"By the way, Sephiria, you have a younger brother, right? How come he's never with you?" A few Saiyans started chatting on the way back.

Sephiria's expression turned cold, and her tone was unfriendly. "That guy hasn't contacted me in ages. When he gets back, I'm going to teach him a lesson."

"My condolences to your brother. Having an outstanding older sister can't be easy."

"Amos, are you asking for a beating?" Sephiria shot her teammate an unhappy look, a chill emanating from her.

The Saiyan named Amos quickly shut his mouth, looking sheepish as he fell silent. Saiyan women were not to be trifled with, especially high-powered female warriors.

"Hmph!" Sephiria snorted and leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to rest. A cold smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"Roland, if you haven't died out there, you're in for it when you get back."

"Achoo!" Roland sneezed for no apparent reason. He had no idea that his so-called older sister had set her sights on him. At the moment, he was traveling with Tights to collect the Dragon Balls.
