An illustration for my Saiyans under Freeza story, Homeworld Lost. (Read here. Please heed content warnings.)
This scene as narrated by Raditz:
Another chirp from the scouter. Nappa had arrived at last, and his pod crashed into the earth not too far off. I didn’t want to leave Vegeta by himself, so I sank to the ground and waited, hugging my knees to my chest.
Weary, slow steps from the other side of the fire. Heavy boots. Nappa found the prince curled in on himself, fast asleep. He crouched down, hesitating before he brushed Vegeta’s cheek with his knuckle. When the prince didn’t stir, he fit his large hands under him and lifted him in his arms. I thought to go to both of them, but as Nappa stood still and merely held the prince, cradling him with his head bowed, I knew I should stay where I was.
“I swore to your mother…” he muttered. I wouldn’t have heard unless I were listening.
I’d only seen the queen twice: that day in the royal city, and the day of the tournament. She died not long afterwards, and not in battle. There were rumors of illness or poison, but I didn’t care to listen to them at the time. Freeza took Vegeta to his planet just after I’d met him. He, Freeza, had been there at the tournament, watching. I didn’t know when the prince would come back and our partnership would actually begin. But when he returned a few seasons later, his mother was dead, and her battle partner, Nappa, had sworn to serve her son unto death. So here he was with us now. Apart from this, I knew very little of him.
“The gods…” he trailed off. He clutched the prince to his chest. “The gods made you strong for a reason. They had to…”

This time, they made him stand at the center of the group shot.
(Nope, not adding another character. Nope, not going to color this one. Absolutely not lmao.)
((Is Krillin being a little shit and imitating Vegeta? Yep. Is he going to get beaten up later? Probably. Was it worth it? Definitely.))
Edit: shit I forgot half Piccolo's cape. Idc I can't touch this again today lmao
