Chapter One
Bardock watched attentively as the saibamen attacked the young saiya- jin boy, studying the technique of the not even seven-year old child. The youth was taking on 3 saibamen, although they were ordered not to self- destruct they could still kill him easily. The saibamen surrounded the boy, taunting them with their demonic laughter, but he didn't even flinch. One of the saibamen lunged at the boy from behind but moved too slowly and got a boot to the back of the neck. The next saibamen attacked, this time head on, but was hit by a blast of energy. The boy smiled but was hit from behind and knocked onto the ground. The saibamen charged an attack and shot it at the fallen boy but it was deflected by the boy's master, who afterwards killed the saibamen.
"Turles, even if you are stronger, you need to always keep your eye on the opponent! How many times have I told you that, you cannot afford to get cocky on the field!" Bardock scolded the young boy, who was still on the ground. "..ugh…yes uncle, I will," Turles rose slowly, painfully off the concrete, wiping blood from various wounds. Turles had been training with his uncle, Bardock, for quite some time now, ever since his father was killed in battle. His mother, who had been fatally wounded, had in her last breath, left Turles to her brother-in-law, who already had a son of his own.
Bardock left Turles in the regeneration tank and went to check on his own son, who had just started his training. "heh, it's amazing how much Turles looks just like his father and I, can't tell who his mother was by looks alone," Bardock thought of his twin brother, who had just got command of his own team, only to get killed on his first commanding mission, he'd never let that happen to his team, no way. Bardock looked through the window of the classroom and saw Radditz, sparring with one of his classmates. Radditz looked just like his mother, but had the strength of his father. He watched as the smaller boy Radditz was fighting lost his balance, and was quickly knocked unconscious. Radditz just smirked and wiped the other boys blood off his hands and threw his long hair back out of his face. Class was dismissed and Radditz found his father and walked down the hall with him.
"That was some damn good fighting for a boy your age Radditz, perhaps when you're older you can see about joining the royal guard," Bardock said encouragingly. "Wow dad you really think so! That'd be great!" The 4 year old seemed overjoyed at the thought. The two went over to the med-lab to check on Turles, who was just finishing getting dressed. Afterwards they went home to the apartment they shared, only to find a note from Alexis, Bardock's wife.
Hey Bardock,
Don't give those kids too hard a time while I'm gone, I got an assignment and I should be back as soon as I can, not sure how long clean- up is going to take.
Alexis
"hmm…didn't even tell me where they sent her, o well, just me and you 2 for awhile, let's try not to kill each other," Bardock laughed a little as he opened the door and went inside. The lights came on automatically and the boys ran inside, Turles started doing pushups and Radditz raided the cabinets, while Bardock went in to take a shower.
When Bardock came out of the shower Turles had joined Radditz in eating whatever food they had left in the kitchen. Turles and Radditz shoved food in their mouths faster then they could chew, and all was fine until there was only one bowl of food left. The two boys fought for a few seconds but Radditz lost quickly to the bigger boy, who gulped down the soup, which should have been heated up but the boys didn't care, they were too hungry. "You boys full?" "Yes dad," Radditz said as he stared angrily at his cousin, who got the last bit of food. "Ok then, we're going back out, because now I have nothing to eat, after you boys clean up that mess, the last thing I need is Alexis getting pissed at me for leaving a mess," Turles and Radditz complained until Bardock grunted at them, they shut up and picked up the various containers of food. Bardock took them to the bar he was a regular at and sat at his usual table with the kids, he ordered his food and the boys ended up ordering some more. Bardock and the boys ate, when someone recognized Bardock from behind and came over to sit with his friend. "Bardock, since when did you have two sons?" said the approaching figure of Toma, Bardock's second in command. "Nah I still only have Radditz of my own, the other is Nolan's kid," Bardock winced a bit at speaking his brother's name. "What happened to Rinishu? I mean last I heard she was ok," "Where have you been? She was fatally wounded on Aroch just after Nolan died on Grain," Bardock was amazed at his good friends lack of knowledge. "Anyways, I gotta go, I have things to do," "Toma, I know you better then that, don't you mean women?" the two men laughed while the boys just kept eating. When the 3 finished eating they went home to their apartment
