Vegeta, He'll Become Your Lifelong Rival

"Hey, Lu Fan, where are we going?" Vegeta glanced at their course and asked.

"Earth," Lu Fan replied.

"Earth?" Vegeta quickly went over to the computer and searched for information about the planet.

After looking through the data on Earth, Vegeta was speechless.

"Why go to such a boring planet? It's completely worthless! Even if we conquered it, we wouldn't get a good price for it." Vegeta shook his head in disappointment.

"We're not going to Earth to conquer it." Lu Fan smiled. "We're going there so we can live better alongside its people."

"What, are you planning to get married and have kids on that planet?" Vegeta snorted.

"It's not impossible." Lu Fan nodded.

Vegeta: "..."

"Don't tell me you're going to Earth so we can become Super Saiyans as quickly as possible." Vegeta seemed to catch on.

"You guessed it. Living on Earth really can help us increase the S-Cells in our bodies faster," Lu Fan replied.

Vegeta fell silent.

I'll wait and see.

It's too early to say anything now.

Once we get to Earth, I'll settle this with you properly.

"Get some rest. I'm going to keep studying my Destruction," Lu Fan said.

"Hmph. Is that any way to speak to a prince?" Vegeta said darkly.

Lu Fan ignored Vegeta, turned, and walked over to the window, gazing up at the vast starry sky.

The stars were beautiful.

But Lu Fan knew all too well that his current strength was nowhere near enough.

My strength is, at most, only ten times greater than Frieza's.

Of course, Lu Fan had no intention of challenging Frieza.

There was no need.

Frieza had never provoked him, after all.

Killing Frieza would be pointless.

As for whether Planet Vegeta would be destroyed, that had little to do with Lu Fan either.

Besides, the real mastermind behind Planet Vegeta's destruction was Beerus, the God of Destruction.

Of course, Beerus couldn't really be blamed for it.

The main reason Beerus destroyed Planet Vegeta was to maintain the balance of the universe.

Besides, Lu Fan had no family left on Planet Vegeta.

Not long after Lu Fan was born, his parents died in battle.

There were countless similar incidents among the Saiyans.

After all, the Saiyans were a warrior race.

When you invaded someone else's territory, it was only natural that they might kill you in return.

"Oh? There seems to be a miniature spaceship behind us, following a course similar to ours." Vegeta suddenly spotted a spherical spaceship approaching from behind.

Lu Fan said nothing.

If his guess was right, the person inside that spaceship was probably the future Son Goku.

"Let me see who's following us." Vegeta tapped at the computer and quickly identified the ship's occupant.

When Vegeta saw the person's identity and battle power, a look of disdain crossed his face.

"So he's another Saiyan. The lowest of the low among the low-class warriors." Vegeta snorted. "His battle power is only two. No wonder he was sent to a worthless planet like Earth."

"His name is Kakarot, right?" Lu Fan asked with a smile.

"That's right. Kakarot, Bardock's youngest son." Vegeta nodded.

"Vegeta." Lu Fan's expression suddenly turned serious.

"What?" Vegeta asked, puzzled.

"Never mind. I'd better not say it. I don't want to upset you," Lu Fan said.

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta was instantly enraged.

Who says half of something and then stops?

You've got me wanting to hear the rest.

And now you're not going to say it.

Are you messing with me?

"See? You're getting worked up again, Vegeta. How are you ever going to become a Super Saiyan if you keep acting like this?" Lu Fan said with a smile.

Vegeta: "..."

"Suit yourself. Say it or don't," Vegeta snorted.

"Fine. I won't say it," Lu Fan replied.

Vegeta felt awful.

A brief silence followed.

"Spit it out!" Vegeta bared his teeth.

"All right, I'll tell you... If nothing unexpected happens, this guy named Kakarot will become your greatest rival one day." Lu Fan sighed.

"What did you say?" Vegeta stared at Lu Fan as though he were an idiot.

Then Vegeta turned and walked away.

What the hell?

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

A low-class warrior with a battle power of only two is going to become my greatest rival one day?

Lu Fan, you've really disappointed me.

If you'd said that you would become my greatest rival one day, I might have believed you.

After all, your battle power once surpassed mine.

Even though it's only two hundred now.

Still, it's possible you could train until your battle power rises again.

But a low-class warrior with a battle power of only two...

Hmph. As if.

I could blow him away with a fart.

Vegeta went straight back to his room.

Talking to that guy Lu Fan...

It's impossible.

The journey to Earth would take at least a month.

Lu Fan kept busy during that time, continuing to study Destruction.

Lu Fan had brought Vegeta along mainly because he'd always liked the character when watching Dragon Ball.

Since I've already crossed into this world, and since I've become your sparring partner... I'll give you a hand.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Fan could now stand by the spaceship window and see the familiar yet unfamiliar blue planet.

Earth!

I'm here!

Ten minutes later, Lu Fan's spaceship entered Earth's atmosphere.

"Clack! Clack! Clack!"

Lu Fan rapidly worked the spaceship's computer.

He switched the spaceship from autopilot to manual control.

Lu Fan piloted the spaceship at high speed across the planet.

"Hey, Lu Fan, what are you doing?" Vegeta had sensed they'd reached their destination. He came out of his room and called to Lu Fan.

"Looking for a suitable place to land." Lu Fan piloted the spaceship without turning around.

"Just pick somewhere and land already." Vegeta was exasperated.

"The word 'anywhere' isn't in my dictionary," Lu Fan replied with conviction.

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta didn't have any particular objection.

Let's see where you're actually going to land this spaceship.

The spaceship circled the Earth several times before finally descending into the yard of a residence.

During that time, Vegeta also saw Kakarot's spaceship shoot down from the sky and crash into a distant mountainside, scattering birds and animals.

"Thud!"

The spaceship landed in the courtyard at the Capsule Corp headquarters.
