Prologue

Beep beep!

Something electronic said as a subtle shaking started to stir Daniel from his sleep. The beeping did not stop, but it was not loud enough to annoy him just yet. Even so, the shaking soon enough did the trick, and that, along with a strange whooshing sound, soon enough made him open his eyes slowly.

"Mmmh.. Hm..?" 

He groaned, feeling strange and uncomfortable. As he woke, he felt he was not lying down in a soft bed, but sitting in some strange seat. As he woke, he found himself not seeing the familiar sight of his room, but facing what looked like the night sky, being shrouded in a strange red color. His eyes shot open, his mind racing as he looked around.

He wasn't in his room, but some strange round room. In front of him was a red round window, facing what looked like an endless sea of stars. Right beneath the window was a panel with controls he had never seen before. Daniel started to panic a little, where was he?!

Then something caught his attention. His clothes, it was not the shirt or pants he had on yesterday, but some strange elastic fabric that sat tightly, yet comfortable upon his torso. It was some sort of armor, and taking another inspecting look at it, his eyes widened.

"S.. Saiyan armor...?" He muttered, feeling a suddenly strange sensation coming from his lower back. He looked, and his heart started to race. "A tail!" In his hand he held a long, brown, monkey tail. That, along with the armor, not to mention the strange room and view, led him to believe he was in fact a saiyan, on his way to, well, he did not know.

The beeping continued, and starting to get tired of it he leaned forward. His mind was already confused about how he could be here, how he could be a Saiyan from his favorite show, Dragon Ball Z. The only thing he could think of doing was to go along with it for now, not being able to resist the surge of excitement building up inside him.

When he looked outside the window more closely, he saw something amazing, a planet. It wasn't Earth, that much he knew, but other than that, he had no idea where he was, or even how he got here. None of this should be possible, but here he was, ten years old, a Saiyan, traveling through space. Was it a dream?

Finally he had enough, he looked down at the panel under the window. A red button was blinking, doing so with the beeping, leading him to believe it was telling him to press it, and so he did. The window changed, it showed letters Daniel had never seen before, but somehow knew how to read. The beeping stopped as the letters and number moved along the glass.

Planet Name: Unknown.

Mission: Destroy all sentient life forms, and prepare the planet to be sold.

Daniel's heart sank, did that mean he was heading to this planet to kill? No no no, that wasn't what he wanted!

The letters and numbers vanished, and the planet came closer and closer. Soon he felt it shaking a bit more, and soon enough the entire planet filled out the entire view. Orange flames started to surround the round Saiyan pod, heating up as he entered the atmosphere. 

As the shaking got more intense, he quickly leaned back and fastened himself with some belts built into the chair. This was going to be a one bumpy entrance.
