I picked her up and when she healed, we saw that her power level had gone through the roof. Up to 5.000 from her former level of 1.000. I had a whole 10 years to think on it and I realized the same things you did, our increases in strength when faced with near death experiences and why Frieza hounds us down.”
He looks at you directly. “You are the strongest here, prince Vegeta, and you’ve grown even stronger after Vertes. The way I see it, you’re our only hope to defeat Frieza.”
You watch Gisa struggle with her two children, trying to stop them from touching buttons, keyboards, switches and handles. The ship is thankfully in autopilot, so they’re not doing much. The stars flow by the window, forming lines as they mess around until they get bored. The three of them join you with Gisa at their head.
“I haven’t yet thanked you, my prince, for what you did for us in planet Vertes.” She says, bowing slightly. “I know we are of little use to you, considering your great strength.”
Rokka interrupts her mother. “Little use? I’ll train and my dad will too. We’ll fight and pay our debt.” She says. “Then we’re free.”
“You are free.” You say. “Train and fight, not as a way to pay a debt, but to grow. The more we all grow, the closer we are to victory and peace.”
You look to the flowing stars. “When we’re done, when we achieve victory. We’ll be able to live anywhere in the galaxy without fearing for our lives every day.”
She watches you with a mix of awe and wild determination. “Yeah!” She yells. “We’ll kill Frieza!” She says.
Kalabash pats her head and ruffles her hair around. “Our prince will.”
You nod. That was it. That was the way for you to pay for all those years of complacency, of servitude to the one who destroyed your race. You would kill him and all his kin, then your pride would be restored, and you’d finally be deserving of your father’s title.
You shake hands with Kalabash and Gisa. Oshe, who was hiding behind his mother, sees how Rokka takes his arm and lifts it up for you to shake it, then you shake hers. These were your warriors, your pride and part of your race, just as the more powerful Nappa, Raditz and turles are.
You’ll fight for all Saiyans, no matter what.
