I've been away,
Searching for a reason,
Another purpose to find.
I've sailed the seas,
Fought my many demons,
I've looked to gods in the skies.

The youngest Saiyan prince took his first steps into the spaceport of Alpha Prime since first arriving in the Omega Collective. It had changed much in such a short amount of time; though he guessed it was because they were no longer preparing for hundreds of thousands to be arriving for the Tournament. With a new determination in his eyes gained from his new understanding of himself, Leke Hattori strode towards the docks.
Unbeknownst to him, however, a plan was already set in motion to send him home. Almost halfway to the docks, Leke noticed a flag bearing the royal colours of the Hattori Clan - the symbol of the Saiyan race. His eyes widened. His family was still here? He had heard that they had departed already in the massive Saiyan flagship. They had left him behind, or so he had previously thought.
It turned out to be more true than not when he approached the flag further. There was only one saiyan, dressed in the royal crimson of the Hattori family, guarding the flagpost. He seemed to be communicating into a radio, so he jumped a little when Leke appeared in front of him.
"Hey there," the prince said to the startled guard. It took a few moments for the older saiyan to respond, in apparent disbelief. The prince just showed up on his doorstep! "Prince Leke! What a pleasure," he started, after collecting himself.
"The King requested I stay behind to assure your ride back to New Vegeta. Its been a trying process." The man murmured something into his radio and then put it away.
"Well, then, shall I take you to our transport?" the much-older Saiyan asked while removing the flag from the ground. The thirteen-year-old prince nodded and followed the guard to a space cruiser, bulky enough for a few passengers and separate rooms for each - a lot of space for just two. Its sleek exterior and royal insignias definitely made it obvious who owned this ship. Leke was glad to know he would not have to ride a common transit back to Earth's moon. He did not dislike commoners - quite the opposite, in fact - but the youngest prince wanted a calm ride home. A crammed space bus would not provide him that kind of luxury.
Leke followed the guard into the ship. The older saiyan immediately stepped into the cockpit after showing the prince his room. The prince resigned to lay down on the bed assigned for him. His thoughts briefly went to his seemingly-long journey of self-discovery before resting on the prospect of returning home. The young Hattori was sure that his family would be angry about his disappearance, but happy to see him alive. He dreaded his impending punishment, but it would be nowhere near leveling the elation he would get from returning to his people.
"I'm coming home," Leke said wearily. He had not gotten much rest since arriving in the Omega Collective. It was high time for an actual slumber. The prince closed his heavy eyelids and allowed the graceful arms of sleep to seize him.
Live again,
All roads end,
I'll be coming home.
Tend your light,
Cause on this night,
I'll be coming home.
