Hey guys.  If you frequent the DBM comment section, or listen to me rambling on D.A., you'll know that I've been dropping hints about a fanfiction I'm planning to write. 

Well, the long, overly-hyped wait is almost over.

Savior of Demons is almost here.

It's been a personal struggle for me to keep from revealing my story, plot elements, & even the title; it has been even harder to overcome my fear of failure & start writing, but with Saucemonkey & American Vigor acting as my editors & consultants, I feel like I can craft a fanfiction good enough to stand beside their stories.

As a DeviantArt exclusive, here's a preview of my story, focusing on (who else?) Frieza himself, as he struggles to find meaning in a universe where he is given another chance by Goku after the events of Namek.

    Prologue:

    Darkness enveloped him.  Twisting through the blackness, he floated, broken.  Through the haze of blood obscuring his one remaining eye, Frieza assessed the damage to his body and tried to make sense of just what had happened.

    In the span of – what was it, a few days? – he had gone from self-proclaimed Emperor of the Universe, master of most of the known galaxy, to…this.  Helpless, isolated, and dying in the void.  His goal of immortality shattered, his men all dead, his ship destroyed, and at the top of the list, that accursed Saiyan was to blame for all of it.  No…not just one Saiyan…though Vegeta had been the one to throw a proverbial monkey wrench in his plans, as Frieza had always known he would, in the end, he could have recovered from that setback.

    If it hadn't been for him…that mysterious Saiyan from Earth, appearing from the blue to stand in the way of any hope he had for recuperating his losses.  It had all spiraled out of control so quickly…  Frustrated, the tyrant grit his teeth, then screamed soundlessly into the void, railing against the pain and the encroaching darkness.

I have more than a little trepidation at the thought of reviews, questions, etc., but I'm going to try to brave them.  Have at it, but please be gentle - remember, other than the Honor Trip special, I have never written a story before.  Yes, I realize that this preview of the prologue doesn't tell you much...but that's purposeful.  It is truly a teaser.
