Notes and Warnings:
This fan-fiction contains adult themes. "The Chikyuu Contaminant" has sex, including some tricky inter-species stuff that narrow-minded folks might consider offensive, especially if they're homophobic. You're warned. Don't yell at me if you decide to go ahead and read. This fan-fiction also contains violence and strong language. Mostly, however, it contains characters interacting with one another, so if you think Dragonball-Z is about macho guys bashing each other about the head and shoulders, this probably isn't for you.
Some notes about the time-line: This story takes place fifteen years after the events in the Young Prince, which you probably want to read first (especially if you don't know what the HFIL Zarbon is doing as a main character in this story). Lots of stuff has changed; lots of stuff is about the same. In the "regular" Dragonball-Z universe, Vegeta came to Earth a year after Radditz. Here, it's more like a month or so later. Age-wise he's around thirty, which is still pretty much a youngster by Saiyan standards.
This fan-fiction is a serial. That means it's going to wander about a bit. Don't worry; the thread of the main story isn't lost, and everything will end up where it's suppose to sooner or later. Really. I promise. Trust me.
