Anya's Predicament

Kalan concentrated his Ki senses to sense Anya's Ki. As he did not know which direction Planet Vegeta was from Earth, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack if he spread his telepathy senses in all directions.

"I forgot... I hadn't learned to sense Ki before arriving on Earth. I don't know mom's Ki signature." Kalan suddenly got reminded, there were just too many Ki signatures for a myriad of beings in space and he didn't even know which direction to look at.

"System you should know Planet Vegeta's coordinates right?" Kalan asked.

[Beep! Planet Vegeta's coordinates: ....]

The system pointed out the direction as Kalan started to randomly teleport in that direction in hope to get closer to Planet Vegeta.

It took Kalan a month to reach Planet Vegeta as he remembered that he could just ride on his spaceship instead of mindlessly searching.

After approaching to a distance Kalan could easily sense the Saiyan's Ki. Kalan put away the spaceship and teleported to Planet Vegeta.

Kalan teleported to a small alley in the city, as he looked out at the street.

"Right forgot to change my clothes." Kalan patted his head as he saw the street filled with Saiyans in battle armor. Kalan quickly changed back to his battle armor. He had grown 4 years older but luckily the battle armor was really stretchy and he could wear it until he was a teen.

Kalan walked out of the alley and merged with the crowd. As he walked around he could feel the atmosphere really tense. Some people were arguing that King Vegeta's actions are really suspicious almost as if he is planning a rebel. Other's saying that Frieza had taken Prince Vegeta as hostage and that would be cutting of the Saiyan's future. Some Saiyan's even seem to idolize Frieza and were excited by and looked forward to what orders Frieza would give them. It is true that Saiyans talk with their fists and worship the strong. But Kalan's eyes twitched when he saw Saiyans idolize Frieza.

"Your idol is planning our race's extermination..." Kalan mumbled quietly as he walked past the crowd with familiarity and quickly got home.

The door was locked and it seems no one where inside. It was strange as his family had several servants to do all the house chores.

"Weird..." Kalan thought. He checked his scouter and found no new messages from his mother which made him increasingly suspicious.

"I guess I should find Cabbage first. He should know what is going on." Kalan mumbled. As Kalan had only seen Cabbage once when he was just born, he didn't feel close to him and didn't call him dad.

Kalan asked a few neighbors for Cabbage's resident and quickly found it. He quickly navigated to Cabbage's house which looked quite similar to his own, both quite large but simple without decorations.

Kalan knocked on the door and waited. Soon a servant opened the door and asked what he wanted.

"Is Cabbage home?" Kalan asked.

"Yes, please wait a moment." The servant said and left to call Cabbage.

After awhile, Cabbage come to the door. He seemed quite worried as he impatiently asked "Yes? What do you want little girl?"

Kalan's mouth twitched.

"Old man you don't even remember your own son?" Kalan snapped at Cabbage.

"Ah? Kalan...?" Cabbage exclaimed as he seemed unsure. He looked up and down at Kalan. And finally seemed to have found a few familiar clues.

"Your face looks a similar to Anya's and your light grey eyes and red hair are the same color... You're really Kalan?" Cabbage finally believed Kalan, but still asked in confirmation as he was just too surprised. It couldn't be helped, after all Cabbage had only seen Kalan once when he was newborn. But there weren't many red haired Saiyans with light grey eyes. As most Saiyans had black hair and black eyes and only a small minority had brown, blue or blonde hair and purple eyes.

"Yes! Tell me where is my mom." Kalan quickly asked as he was worried.

"I see. This... You know, there aren't many elite Saiyans and those who can maintain their reason in their great ape transformation aren't many." Cabbage paused and said "And most Saiyans work in team, almost only weak infiltration Saiyan babies are sent to missions alone. And the elite Saiyans always work in teams."

"But there were recently some information that had leaked from Frieza Force, that a Saiyan in great ape transformation who could maintain their reason had attacked and killed over 100 Frieza Force soldiers during their mission." Cabbage continued.

"It would have been fine before, but Raditz had said that you were an elite soldier and also from a noble family. And that your battle power was over 1,100 at the age of 4. Due to this, you got promoted to an elite." Cabbage took a breath and said.

"King Vegeta cares a lot about talented Saiyans, so all Elite Saiyans are closely watched. Your signal was the only one that disappeared not long after you got deployed on your mission. Not to mention you chose to do a mission alone. And because they have all checked all the Saiyans who can control their great ape forms and all the elite Saiyans. You are the only suspicious one." Cabbage said seriously.

"They also picked up a signal from you scouter not long after the fight, and also in the same location. That's why King Vegeta has ordered for Anya and your grandpa, Senior Rako to be detained until you returned...." Cabbage let his words drop.

"He dares!" Kalan felt guilty and angry. Because he had been too careless, his mother and grandpa had suffered, all because of him.

"Calm down Kalan, you can't rush into the castle just like that!" Cabbage tried to calm down Kalan. He was afraid he would just charge in as many Saiyans were hotblooded and followed their impulses without thinking of the consequences.

"You might not know this, but King Vegeta is definitely planning a rebellion, as a noble family we have more connections and I'm sure the information is true. But it seems he have not totally finished his preparations and he may very likely hand you over to Frieza in order to appease his anger for killing those 100 soldiers, so he can buy more time for preparing his rebellion. You must not go to the castle!" Cabbage said. As his warrior career was over, he wanted his son to take on his mantle. He had been especially delighted when he heard his son got promoted to an elite.

It seems that Frieza had sent the order for the Saiyans to gather in Planet Vegeta a year earlier made King Vegeta worried his secret preparations for rebelling had been leaked, thus his preparations were much slower as he had been very careful. King Vegeta had planned the rebellion in order to rescue his son as Frieza held Prince Vegeta as hostage.

"I changed the history a bit..." Kalan thought as he wasn't sure if King Vegeta would still be able to make it into the spaceship this time before Frieza takes care of the rebellion and then flies out of his spaceship to blow up Planet Vegeta.
