"Sister…"
Vegeta's gaze shifted from the Chat Group.
A somewhat blurry image of a young girl appeared in his mind.
He subconsciously placed his hand on his neck, gently pulling open his blue and white combat suit to reveal a pendant hidden inside.
It was a blue, transparent, prism-shaped ornament.
Six months before the destruction of Planet Vegeta, his sister Beryl gave him this pendant.
She said it was a good luck charm and hoped he would wear it at all times.
She also reminded him that if he could make the crystal pendant fully light up, she would tell him a shocking secret.
"My combat power of 18,000 can only make the crystal light up 1/3 of the way. To make the crystal fully light up, it would require at least 50,000 combat power."
Moreover, the energy from transforming into a Great Ape was useless in making the crystal pendant light up.
Even a full-power attack from a Great Ape couldn't destroy this incredibly hard crystal pendant.
It was simply unbelievable.
Vegeta had also vaguely speculated about his sister Beryl's combat power over the years.
After all, Beryl had once taught him how to control his Ki and suppress it.
But Vegeta only learned the method and basically never used it.
"Could it be that my sister's combat power already exceeded 50,000 when she was around ten years old?" Vegeta couldn't help but wonder, considering the pendant's energy storage limit.
If that were the case, it would explain why he couldn't beat her.
Her distinct white hair set her apart from other black-haired Saiyans.
On Planet Vegeta, a legend once circulated.
The legendary Super Saiyan, appearing once every thousand years, was vastly different from ordinary Saiyans and possessed power far exceeding that of common Saiyans.
Even his father, King Vegeta, believed this.
His sister Beryl, from birth, had naturally white hair.
However, his sister was "unpromising"; she was said to have been born with a combat power of only 5.
Compared to himself, the Saiyan Prince, who was born with 3,000 combat power and exceeded 10,000 combat power by age five as an elite Saiyan, his sister was simply too ordinary.
King Vegeta simply let Beryl, this "lower-class warrior," be.
He even considered sending Beryl to a remote planet.
However, he hesitated at the last minute.
Of course, this wasn't due to familial affection; the Saiyan race wasn't entirely indifferent to kinship, but they weren't particularly friendly either.
In Vegeta's view, there was only one reason to keep his sister: to use Beryl to highlight his own noble status as a Saiyan Prince.
However,
Vegeta suddenly gave a bitter smile: "Thinking about it carefully, every time I won against her, it seemed like she was deliberately holding back."
Was his sister always hiding something?
"Spaceship crashed in space?"
If it were before, Vegeta might not have thought much of it.
Spaceship crashes in space happened frequently.
Moreover, Saiyans weren't like the Frieza Race, who could survive in space.
But, recalling what the Group Leader said about Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta, his sister's spaceship crash was likely not an accident either.
Vegeta even remembered something.
Once, returning from a conquered planet to Frieza's base, he heard news that Ginyu Force captain Ginyu was severely injured and undergoing emergency treatment.
Vegeta looked at the pendant on his chest.
"Perhaps, once I fully activate the pendant, I will know the whole truth!"
"But, even if it's revealed, will it still matter?"
Vegeta didn't know.
If he hadn't seen the Group Leader, with her appearance almost seventy to eighty percent similar to his sister, he probably would have forgotten about the good luck charm altogether.
"Attention, please! In ten minutes, the spaceship will enter the target planet's atmosphere. Warriors inside the spaceship, please prepare for battle."
A mechanical voice came through.
Through the narrow spaceship window, a vast, azure planet, mostly covered by oceans, came into Vegeta's view.
…
On Earth.
Feeling the powerful Ki coming from the sky, the Z Fighters all looked up.
Piccolo, his face green with fright, cold sweat on his forehead, and his brows slightly furrowed, muttered:
"These two evil Ki are so much stronger than Raditz!"
It wasn't just Piccolo; even Tien Shinhan, Krillin, and others were startled by the terrifying energy descending.
They were confident that they were now no weaker than Raditz a year ago, and even in a one-on-one fight, there was a high chance they could defeat him.
However, regarding the two energies from the sky, none of them were confident they could win.
Even if they teamed up, whether they could defeat them was still unknown.
"I hope Goku comes back soon."
Krillin mumbled and then headed straight in the direction where the Ki was descending.
Just as the Z Fighters approached Nappa and Vegeta from all directions,
Nappa and Vegeta's spaceships had already landed on the ground.
The two spherical spaceships, with the force of their descent, slammed into the ground, creating large craters.
The two opened the spaceship hatches and stepped out.
Nappa, wearing a combat power scouter, scanned the surrounding onlookers and found that none of them had a combat power exceeding 10.
"Hmph, truly weak Earthlings."
Saying that, Nappa extended his finger, intending to destroy these onlookers, these ants, along with this ugly city.
"Wait."
Vegeta grabbed Nappa's wrist, suppressing the Ki that Nappa had not yet fully raised.
"There's no need to cause extra trouble. We are looking for Kakarot."
Vegeta lightly flicked his left index finger.
As his Ki spread, the two spaceships, which were pressed into the large craters, slowly floated in front of Vegeta.
Holding Nappa with his right hand, Vegeta effortlessly glided through the sky as if carrying a chick.
With his left hand, he controlled the two spaceships, flying towards a sparsely populated area outside the city.
The onlookers watching Vegeta and Nappa had various expressions on their faces.
"Who were those two just now?"
"They seemed like aliens."
"How could they fly, and what were those two ball-like things?"
The chattering sounds lingered in the city for a long time.
At this moment, Vegeta didn't care about any of that.
He had already taken Nappa to a sparsely populated area and found a place to hide their two spaceships.
After doing all these things, Nappa finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Vegeta, why did you stop me just now?"
Nappa was very confused.
Given Vegeta's usual personality, he wouldn't spend time finding a place to store the spaceship. Wherever they landed, he would just clear out the annoying people around and then casually find a place to put the spaceship.
Hadn't they always done that before?
However, it was always Nappa who did the fighting.
"We are just here to borrow the Dragon Balls. There's no need to cause conflict with Kakarot's people. Besides, according to the information Raditz sent earlier, those guys who fought against Raditz might even be some kind of righteous people."
"We are civilized people; we should try diplomacy before resorting to force." Vegeta struggled for a long time before finally squeezing out this meaningful sentence.
"What about this planet then? Didn't you say you were going to give it to Fri—"
"We'll talk about that later. I'll explain to Frieza when I get back." Although Vegeta didn't know if Nappa's scouter had a listening device, he still explained.
Nappa looked Vegeta up and down for a moment and said, "Vegeta, you seem to have changed."
"Cut it out." Vegeta rolled his eyes at Nappa.
Did he think he wanted to?
He was doing it for the Super Saiyan transformation method.
Also, to avoid being mercilessly kicked out of the group by a certain Group Leader, he was doing this against his will.
