Journey of the Last Saiyan

An alert suddenly sounded, echoing loudly in the quiet command center. "ALERT: WARP SIGNATURE DETECTED." The voice of SAGE, the advanced artificial intelligence system, echoed through the room. It filled the room with a sense of fear.

Frisee, the Vice-Captain of the Strategic Division, stationed at the heart of their galactic empire's headquarters, felt her heart skip a beat. She sprung from her chair, her eyes wide with disbelief and apprehension. "Impossible!" she exclaimed. Her voice echoed in the room, intensifying the already escalating tension.

Located in the heart of the royal capital of the powerful Saiyan God race on Planet Sadala, the room was typically a sanctuary of calm and strategic brilliance. However, it was now filled with a palpable tension that permeated the air, making it heavy and suffocating.

"ALERT: WARP SIGNATURE DETECTED AT THE PERIMETER OF THE SADALA SYSTEM," SAGE continued.

"Working on identifying the signatures now!" continued the AI. The system, revered as the their backbone in the galactic empire, was already sifting through the incoming data at a staggering speed.

Frisee, her mind swirling with thoughts and potential scenarios, didn't falter. "Val, connect me with the Delta squad on the eastern battle front, NOW!" she ordered, her voice echoing with authority.

"Understood, Ma'am!" Val responded, his voice steady despite the rising tensions.

Without hesitation, Frisee turned to another team member, "Tris, provide a situation report of the battle on all fronts. Display all fleet positions." She spoke quickly, her mind already strategizing and considering potential outcomes.

"ALERT: SIGNATURES IDENTIFIED AS 1 STAR DESTROYER CLASS and 2 ENDIVE CLASS WARSHIPS. Analyzing trajectory now," SAGE's voice echoed ominously, leaving an eerie silence in its wake.

A chill ran through Frisee's veins, causing her to shudder. "Star Destroyer class!" she muttered, her voice barely audible. The name 'Star Destroyer class' carried a heavy sense of dread and fear. These warships were designed for unimaginable destruction, equipped with a singularity cannon, a weapon that could create a controlled singularity capable of consuming an entire star.

This weapon, introduced hastily during the last great intergalactic war, led to the extinction of an entire species about 10 millennia ago due to an out-of-control first shot. The memory of this war and the horrifying scenes of destruction have been passed down through generations. They serve now as a grim reminder of the destructive power they are currently facing. Stories of soldiers emerging from their battle mechas, shaking with shock despite the ongoing war, and generals standing in stunned silence, unable to grasp the scale of devastation, are well-known to every Saiyan.

Stories also depicted planetary rulers who sat on their thrones in sheer terror, watching a live feed of the escalating catastrophe when the first shot provoked an uncontrollable singularity. Amid the chaos, however, a beacon of hope emerged - the Saiyan God. The tales portrayed his power as unimaginable, his aura radiating an energy both terrifying and awe-inspiring. He possessed the ability to manipulate space and time, to reshape reality itself. His fury could devastate worlds, but his kindness could nurture life.

He used his understanding of the primordial laws to contain the uncontrollable singularity before it could expand further. Afterwards, a moment of profound silence ensued, so deep that it seemed to absorb all noise. Then, a loud, thunderous roar resonated across the cosmos, "ENOUGH! THIS WAR ENDS NOW! FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS, LET ALL WORLDS UNITE IN AN ALLIANCE. ANYONE WHO OPPOSES SHALL FACE THIS GOD'S WRATH!" Every being kneeled in the direction of the roar, responding in agreement, recognizing the grave line they had crossed.

Now, Frisee was confronted with the chilling reality of a Star Destroyer entering the Sadala system. She braced herself for the imminent confrontation, fully aware that history was on the verge of repeating itself. The room was charged with a tense silence as the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on everyone. The echoes of the past served as a haunting reminder of the cost of war. Yet, they were Saiyans, they were fighters, ready to face whatever challenge arose with courage and determination.

"The enemy ships' estimated time of arrival is five hours," announced SAGE, the artificial intelligence system. Its voice echoed ominously throughout the war room.

Startled by this news, Frisee questioned, "How could this happen? How did a Star Destroyer-class ship evade our defense line and warp directly into the Sadala system?" She fully grasped the severity of the situation.

Her reliable subordinate, Val, reported, "Vice Captain, I've detected fluctuations in the space laws where the enemy fleet breached Planet Sadala's defense perimeter." His voice was steady, betraying no sign of the fear they all shared.

Before Frisee could respond, Tris, another trusted team member, relayed even more distressing news. "Vice Captain, Delta Squad reported back. Nach stated that Planet Vegeta has fallen. Our brethren from the mortal race branch have succumbed to the Evil Super Saiyan God, Sevich. Delta Squad's leader ordered a full retreat from the planet, suggesting we use our Star Destroyer warship near Vegeta."

Frisee was shell-shocked. "How could Vegeta fall so quickly? What was the royal family doing, allowing that Evil God to land on Vegeta?" In her frustration, she exclaimed, "Something's wrong! We warned all leaders about the Evil God. We were supposed to be vigilant, particularly because of his ability to corrupt us Saiyans."

Before she could further process the information, SAGE's voice interrupted the silence, "ALERT: STAR DESTROYER IDENTIFIED AS 'KING VEGETA'S CHARIOT.'"

"WHAT?" Frisee exclaimed, her heart pounding.

Tris delivered more unsettling news, "Vice Captain, you were right. Nach just sent over more data. According to Delta Squad's investigation, we've been betrayed!" Tris' voice trembled as she shared this truth.

"WHO? Who would align themselves with that MAD GOD?" Frisee demanded, her voice filled with fury.

With a hard swallow, Tris responded, "King Vegeta, Ma'am. He made a deal with the Evil God, becoming an apostle to gain strength to... to..." Tris faltered, the words sticking in her throat.

"Spit it out!" Frisee commanded, her patience dwindling.

Taking a deep breath, Tris resumed, "Our Captain! King Vegeta betrayed us because he felt humiliated that our captain fell in love with a low born Saiyan. He claimed that if the Goddess had to choose a mortal, she should have chosen him, not a low born wretch. He believes the Goddess humiliated him by marrying Squad leader Cress and that only he, among the mortals, would have been worthy of being her husband. He sees her actions as a severe insult!"

Frisee, stunned, collapsed into her command seat. "This is... ridiculous," she muttered. She couldn't comprehend the extent of King Vegeta's stupidity and arrogance.

Sadala and Vegeta were both homes to the Saiyan race. Sadala, rich in God Ki due to the influence of the Saiyan God, fostered Saiyans with either the blood of the Saiyan God or cultivated God Ki, known as the god branch. This branch, with their understanding of laws, rapidly advanced, producing exceptional scientists and warriors who contributed to the intergalactic community with their innovations and strength. The Saiyan God established a rule on Sadala that kind and righteous hearts would prevail the most on the planet, as God Ki could amplify the power levels of all indiscriminately.

Vegeta became home to instinct-driven Saiyans, known as the mortal branch. A loyal follower of the Saiyan God was put in charge and became the first king of Planet Vegeta by marrying local inhabitants. Despite their warrior tendencies, the mortal branch still had God-given abilities. Bright minds emerged on Vegeta and, though progress was slow, the planet eventually joined Sadala in the galactic alliance council as a fellow leadership figure.

Over time, the 'strength makes right' mentality influenced the royal family, leading descendants to become arrogant. The current ruler, King Vegeta, was known for his extreme pride and arrogance, which often led to questionable decisions. Rumors suggested he was capable of heinous acts driven by his ego, such as murdering a child if their power level threatened to surpass his descendant's. His pride dictated his actions and his arrogance often blinded him to potential consequences.

The day Frisee's division captain first met King Vegeta was etched vividly in her memory. It was as if the scene had just happened. King Vegeta's reaction to her captain's beauty was unmistakable; he was initially shocked, which quickly turned into lust and greed. With a booming voice, he openly declared his love and his desire to make her his queen, claiming, "Beauty, you have taken this King's breath away and won my noble and royal heart. Rejoice, for I have decided to make you my Queen. What say you, fair maiden?"

The atmosphere in the hall instantly tensed. Those who recognized Frisee's captain were filled with fear as they knew she was Empress Gula, a goddess from the royal Saiyan God bloodline. Her dominant personality and well-known disdain for arrogant men had earned her great respect. No man had ever approached her with ill intentions, let alone a marriage proposal.

Confirming everyone's fears, Empress Gula reacted to King Vegeta's proposal with unrestrained fury. Rather than reprimanding him verbally, she physically assaulted him to the point where he lost consciousness from the pain and had to be rushed to Sadala's medical center. Only the intervention of other division captains managed to quell her wrath and prevent further injury to the King.

The aftermath of the incident sent shockwaves throughout the empire. Many were taken aback by King Vegeta's audacity, while others were in awe of Empress Gula's power. The incident raised concerns about potential conflict between the royal Saiyan God bloodline and Vegeta's royal family. Others were simply relieved that the situation did not escalate further.

Despite the tension and unease that permeated the days that followed, life in the empire slowly returned to normal. The memory of the event, however, was still vivid in Frisee's mind. It was a stark reminder of the Captain's immense authority, the fear she instilled, and the chaos that could result when someone dared to challenge her.

When King Vegeta regained consciousness in his recovery pod, he was confronted with the terrifying reality of the woman he had proposed to in arrogance. His heart raced as he reckoned with the magnitude of his mistake. She wasn't just any woman; she was a divine being, beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. His pride prevented him from begging for forgiveness. His longing for her was intense, but he chose to keep a strategic distance, silently hoping this would demonstrate his regret over his audacious actions.

The prevailing belief was that only a god among gods could win the heart of such a remarkable woman, as her Captain. However, when it was revealed thirty years later that her Captain had fallen for Cress from Planet Vegeta and planned to marry him, King Vegeta became a vehement critic. He accused Cress of bewitching the Goddess, his words ringing with the bitterness of a rejected suitor. His accusations were initially ignored, but his subsequent actions of exiling the delta squad and imposing sanctions on their families created a deep divide between the delta squad and Planet Vegeta.

In response to these challenges, Leader Cress courageously decided to guide his squad through the arduous Saiyan God trials on Sadala. These trials, created by the Saiyan God to test the character of mortal Saiyans seeking to ascend to Sadala, were overseen by a soul shard of the Saiyan God himself. This decision was not taken lightly, especially as many in his squad held neutral or even neutral evil alignments. However, they showed an unexpected depth of character, marked by unwavering loyalty, camaraderie, courage, and a strong willingness for self-sacrifice. These qualities led the soul shard of the Saiyan God to deem them worthy, an honor not bestowed lightly.

This pivotal event marked the Delta squad's complete integration into the God branch. Despite facing numerous challenges due to their alignments, their unwavering loyalty and commitment to their captain persevered. They received a warm welcome from their new teammates in the God branch. Now, as proud members of the strategic division, they were ready to serve loyally under the command of their Division Captain. Their squad leader, Cress, esteemed both as a leader and the spouse of the widely admired Division Captain Empress Gula, bolstered their unity. This change transformed them from a mere squad into a family, bound together by a common goal and mutual respect.

However, the situation drastically changed when King Vegeta labelled Cress as a traitor, declaring that his lineage would forever carry the disgraceful title of "Sinners". This declaration effectively stigmatized any descendants of her Captain and Lord Cress by the population of Vegeta. This ignited anger in not only Lord Cress and her Captain, but also the entire royal Saiyan God family. The next day, ten formidable Emperor-level Super Saiyan Gods flew towards Planet Vegeta in a Dauntless class royal warship.

After ten grueling hours, they returned, and the Vegeta royal family made an unexpected announcement, the king had fallen ill, but he had retracted his previous declaration and instead extended his congratulations to the newly wedded couple. It was clear to everyone that the king had learned a lesson he wouldn't soon forget. The departure of the ten Elite Super Saiyan Gods from the royal line effectively silenced all gossip. Their formidable strength was recognized as they led the defense of the entire alliance. The general consensus was that the matter had concluded, and the wedding became the talk of the town.

Frisee naively thought that the king would have learned his lesson after being chastised by the elites, but reality proved her wrong. Driven by his bruised ego and thirst for revenge, the king shockingly decided to serve the Evil Super Saiyan God. This unexpected turn of events left Frisee completely astounded and shaken to her core.

Returning from her memories, Frisee, as an experienced veteran, quickly regained her composure. She fully grasped the gravity of their current situation. The situation was critical, and the stakes were exceptionally high. She immediately contacted her Captain, who was by her son Orach's side. Orach was currently in a private medical pod at her estate, recovering from a severe battlefield injury. His condition was a testament to his bravery and selflessness in defending his mother.

Throughout her notable career, Frisee had never seen her Captain so despondent. It was as though all energy and determination had been drained from her. The Captain had courageously fought alongside her son against a relentless foe, the army of the corrupted. Their combined might and synergy made them a powerful force on the battlefield, enabling them to defeat most of their enemies. However, the harsh truth was they had been on the front lines for too long and were drastically outnumbered by the enemy forces.

As the Captain fought in her Super Saiyan God Blue form, providing cover for her injured comrades, the prolonged battle's toll became apparent. She had pushed herself to the limit, and a brief lapse in her defense—a blind spot—did not escape their corrupt enemies' notice.

Sensing an imminent attack and recognizing his mother's vulnerability, Orach intervened, despite his own exhaustion. He utilized the remaining energy from his recently-acquired Super Saiyan God Blue form to swiftly appear by his mother's side. His primary aim was to protect his mother. In this selfless act of bravery, Orach managed to save his mother but sustained severe injuries himself.

Seeing her son in such an injured condition sparked a deep change in the Captain. She returned to her old, ruthless self, a version that instilled fear and awe in her foes. Her true anger wasn't just displayed through defeating her enemies; it was in the chilling calm and cold demeanor she displayed when truly enraged. She activated her most powerful form, the Mastered Ultra Instinct, and initiated a final large-scale attack containing her grasp of the primordial law of destruction. This eliminated 98% of the enemy forces in their sector.

Carrying her injured son, flanked by her comrades, the Captain strategically retreated from the battlefield. She delegated command to another Elite, prioritizing her son's safety and swift return to Sadala for medical attention. The Captain's intense and terrifying expression, as she carried her son from the ship, was forever imprinted in Frisee's memory.

Upon reaching Sadala, the Captain immediately carried her son to a state-of-the-art medical pod in their home. Orach had been recuperating in the pod for over 20 hours since the attack from a corrupted were hard to recover from. The whole of Sadala was aware of the Empress's deep love for her son, and her palpable despair at his condition. Orach, both a warrior and a scientist, was a beloved figure with a bright future. His significant contributions to society earned him admiration from all who knew him.

To Frisee, Orach was more than the Captain's son. He was like a younger brother she had doted on in his early years. Now, as a military science officer, she relied on his advice. The community was on edge, anxiously hoping for his recovery. They knew his mother would be devastated if anything happened to him. They wanted to support him in this difficult time, their hearts heavy with worry. Respecting the Captain's need for solitude, they gave her space. No one disturbed her as she kept a vigil by her son's bedside, a picture of resilience and strength. Her injured son became her world's focus, an anchor in the conflict's stormy sea. She was also healing her own wounds in the quiet solitude, recovering from deep fatigue. The relentless battle and the burden of responsibility had worn her out. However, faced with her son's predicament, she discovered a fresh wellspring of resilience. Her quiet recuperation embodied the spirit of a warrior, ready to confront any hardships yet to come.
