In the distant starry sky, three spherical spaceships were constantly flying, like meteors, passing planet after planet. The three youths sitting inside the spaceships looked somewhat cold and bored...
"Hey... Big Brother Vegeta... talk about something interesting... It's so boring always being this quiet," Betkas transmitted a message to Vegeta's spaceship with a troubled look.
"Stop bothering me! Shut up!" Vegeta, who was pretending to nap, roared upon hearing the message. Betkas replied nonchalantly, "Tch... what's the big deal? Besides, we're only about ten minutes away from our destination... Talking a bit, lifting our spirits, and exchanging feelings can prevent bad coordination later."
Vegeta's mouth twitched slightly. If Betkas's actual Battle Power wasn't similar to his own, he would have had the impulse to kill Betkas. Although this thought had existed for a long time. He then said, "You bastard..."
Betkas heard Vegeta reply and grinned, "Nappa... don't you agree?!"
Nappa, sitting in his spaceship, was startled by the question. He hadn't expected Betkas to drag him into it. He said, slightly flustered, "Th-th-this!!"
Vegeta said impatiently, "Both of you shut up!" Although the words came through the communicator, Betkas and Nappa could both sense Vegeta's anger and displeasure. The two were sensible and fell silent.
But their reactions were different. Betkas seemed indifferent, while Nappa was trembling. As someone born of nobility, he couldn't afford to offend either Prince Vegeta or Third Prince Betkas. It wasn't just an issue of status, but more importantly, one of strength.
Betkas was currently almost as strong as Vegeta. Although there was a slight difference, it wasn't significant. Only Nappa's Battle Power was pathetically low at the moment.
Betkas's Battle Power: 3053
Vegeta's Battle Power: 3062
Nappa's Battle Power: 764
Compared to the three, the difference was truly laughable. Because of Betkas, Vegeta's training over the years had increased considerably.
Given his arrogant personality, he couldn't allow himself to lose to his own younger brother, although he had already lost numerous times. His diligence, however, was not something ordinary people could match.
All three of them were still young. Betkas estimated that by the time Vegeta and Nappa grew up to their power levels in the original story, Nappa's Battle Power might exceed ten thousand, thanks to the butterfly effect of his existence. And Vegeta's might minimally exceed twenty-five thousand.
As for himself... he was aiming high. He wouldn't stop until he reached one hundred and twenty thousand!
The principle was simple. The strongest member of Frieza's forces was Captain Ginyu himself. In the original story, Ginyu possessed a staggering Battle Power of 120,000.
If Betkas wanted to preserve his own life, he would have no choice but to strive to surpass or at least match Ginyu's level. Only then would he have enough standing to deal with Frieza's subordinates, rather than having to depend on others, including Frieza's personal attendants, Dodoria and Zarbon.
As for having too high a Battle Power and being feared by Frieza? There was no need to worry. Frieza, even without transforming, possessed a Battle Power of 530,000. After fully transforming, his power broke the one hundred million mark.
Would he be afraid of a mere "wild monkey" with a Battle Power of just over 100,000? And the Super Saiyan? Frieza hadn't taken it seriously.
While he had that concern when destroying Planet Vegeta, his main reasons were that he found the Saiyans meddlesome (prone to rebellion) and arrogant, which is why he wiped them out.
"Target reached!"
At that moment, all three spaceships broke through the atmosphere of a light-yellow planet and swiftly descended.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!!"
The three objects, like meteors, flew straight towards the planet's interior. They passed over many areas and finally landed directly in a wilderness.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
With three thuds on the ground, the spherical spaceships landed, each creating a crater nearly ten meters deep. All three opened their hatches and stepped out.
As soon as Betkas stepped out, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "The air on this planet is really pungent. Is a planet like this really worth anything?" He said this while covering his nose with a look of distaste.
Vegeta also covered his nose slightly with one hand and said, "Who knows! Our mission is simple: just kill everyone on this planet! The rest is for those guys to take over." He then started walking toward the top of the crater. Betkas swiftly followed, and Nappa immediately followed suit.
But as the three reached the edge of the crater, they suddenly found themselves in a desolate wilderness. A cold wind blew incessantly, accompanied by flying sand and pebbles, making the area exceptionally barren. Several hundred meters away, there was a village with smoke rising from it.
The three looked at the scene, suddenly feeling a sense of inexplicable excitement. Vegeta and Betkas exchanged a glance. Without speaking, they flew directly toward the distant village. Nappa immediately followed.
Their speed was very fast. In just a few blinks of an eye, they had flown above the village. Looking down at the busy population below, Vegeta and Betkas looked somewhat mocking.
Vegeta sneered, "We'll start with these guys!" At the same time, he slowly raised his right hand. A purple Ki blast was forming in his palm, illuminating the surroundings and looking somewhat dazzling.
Betkas smiled faintly and said, "No problem!" He also raised his left hand, channeling the Ki within his body and concentrating it in his palm. Suddenly, a golden Ki blast also began to form.
Nappa, watching their actions from behind, did the same.
The three simultaneously shot out their Ki blasts swiftly, like three meteors plummeting towards the ground below.
"Boom!!!"
An explosion erupted. A mushroom cloud shot up to the sky, and a strong wind swept through the surroundings. Dust rose from the ground, swirling in the air, along with some strange fluids and remnants of broken limbs.
Vegeta looked coldly at the spectacle below and said, "How boring." Betkas nodded in agreement. But in the next second, five figures suddenly appeared in front of them. The three immediately grew alert, their expressions turning serious.
"You three brats!!! How dare you kill our tribesmen!" After the five figures appeared, Betkas, Vegeta, and Nappa could clearly see their appearance. They were wearing earth-yellow robes. Their skin was pure yellow, much more thoroughly yellow than East Asians. Their muscles were bulging, indicating they were physically strong.
Their heads were spherical, with an antenna on top and no hair. Their angry eyes had earth-yellow pupils. The other four looked very similar, differing only slightly in height.
"It's a pity, Big Brother Vegeta... Lord Frieza didn't give us scouters... We don't know the Battle Power of these guys either," Betkas said, looking slightly solemn as he gazed at the five figures opposite them.
Vegeta scoffed, "Just a bunch of trash!" Upon hearing this, the five opponents' expressions instantly darkened. Veins popped out on each of them; they looked furious.
The tallest of the five aliens said angrily, "You will pay the price for your actions and behavior! The consequences of angering our Chix race will be severe!"
