** COMPLETE **

Pairing: Goku/Vegeta

Summary: A Saiya-jin prince meets a young slave boy who is harboring a secret so vast that it puts the very existence of the world at stake.

Warnings: Violence, profanity, references to rape and abuse. Vegeta is probably OOC to most people, but there's a good reason for it.

Author's Notes: I know I should be finishing Metamorphosis (as well as a host of other fanfics), but this grabbed ahold of me and refused to let go. But, unlike many of my other stories, this one is complete. And for all those people who were annoyed at my Japanese usage in Metamorphosis, this story has no Japanese in it whatsoever. (Unless you count "Saiya-jin" and "Kakarotto" as Japanese.)

Fanfic Notes: Few things in this world resemble the canon, just to warn you. Goku never goes to Earth (which may or may not exist) so he's still Kakarotto (yet there is no Planet Vegeta). Vegeta's young in this fanfic, around the age of twenty-three or so. That makes Goku still a teenager.
