The Untamed Soldier

𓃢 **Author's Note**: I wrote this Dragonball Z fanfiction when I was 19 years old. This was 17 years ago! I have since moved on from my previous two pen names, as life has taken many interesting turns. However, I never completed the story I started. I have come across reviews on my old Fanfiction.net account asking for updates and completions, but unfortunately, I am unable to access my old accounts. Nevertheless, I have decided to rewrite, update, and finally finish this story.

However, I must admit that the story may reflect a different perspective, as it will be written by my 37-year-old self rather than my 19-year-old self. I will do my best to honor the essence of the original while infusing it with the wisdom and experiences gained over the years. Thank you for your patience and support as I embark on this journey to revisit and complete a tale that has lingered unfinished for far too long.

✪ The Untamed Soldier ✪
Chapter 1: Into the Crucible

By: Remy A. Mikazuki

In the depths of space, a young Saiyan prince named Vegeta found himself torn between his heritage and a destiny he had yet to grasp. Separated from his home world and thrust into the icy grip of the Kold Empire, he navigated the treacherous waters of loyalty and ambition.

Haunted by memories of his past and driven by a thirst for power, Vegeta stood at the crossroads of his fate, where alliances were fragile, trust was scarce, and the shadows held secrets that could shape his future. As the stars whispered tales of legends and prophecies, the young prince embarked on a journey that would test his resolve, challenge his beliefs, and unveil the warrior within him destined to become the Legendary Super Saiyan.

Once more, the young prince found sleep elusive on this endless night. Resting on a rigid cot, a standard issue of the military, he tossed and turned uncomfortably. The snores of the surrounding soldiers filled the air, accompanied by the drunken laughter and lively conversations echoing from the decks above.

In the midst of the cacophony, Vegeta's thoughts drifted back to the weight of his responsibilities and the expectations that weighed heavily upon his shoulders. The coldness of the cot beneath him mirrored the icy grip of uncertainty that clenched at his heart, reminding him of the harsh reality that awaited him in the unforgiving expanse of space.

After just two weeks in the Kold Empire household, he found himself consumed by memories of his home on Planet Vegeta. The vibrant beauty and warmth of his homeland haunted his thoughts, and he longed for the freedom he once knew. The yearning for escape from his current state of bondage grew stronger with each passing day.

The six-year-old Prince shivered in the perpetual winter of the planet, where coldness reigned year-round. He struggled to adapt to the freezing temperatures, attempting to burrow deeper into the stiff cot and the meager wool blanket provided to him. The fabric irritated his skin, causing both itching and discomfort. Avoiding thoughts of home, he tried to push aside memories of his parents and his people, whom he sorely missed.
