Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back for another story, this one about Dragon Ball. Enjoy the 1300-word chapter. I don't own DBZ, Akira Toriyama and a few others do.
(Planet Vegeta, Age 732.)
To anyone who hadn't seen the event from the start, it would have looked like fireworks.
It however, was far from this and instead was a massive battle taking place between the Saiyan army and Frieza's and Cooler's massive army, the Saiyans were rallied around two of their strongest since Prince Vegeta and his father were not present at the moment.
Their names were Arlic and Bardock, and they holding the duel Tyrants armies off nearly singe handily.
"We aren't going to be able to win this, Arlic!"
One of the soldiers in Arlic's squad named Olave said as he blasted another of Frieza's soldiers away. Arlic snapped the neck of one soldier, turned and elbowed another in the neck and blasted a third away.
"We don't have to, we just need to buy enough time for the others to evacuate, Olave, just keep fighting, we're leave once Frieza shows up!"
Arlic yelled, he was a mid-class warrior, while Arlic wanted to fight and take out Frieza's entire army, he knew a losing battle when he saw one, fighting any longer wouldn't help, it would only be an act of pride.
And to Arlic, pride wouldn't mean anything if the entire race of Saiyans were wiped out.
"Get Bardock and tell him to go, get the Attack Pods… I'll hold off Frieza's army as long as I can."
Arlic said as more of Frieza's and Cooler's soldiers pressed in, Arlic knew he could count on his squad to get the attack pods to evacuate the Saiyans… Or at least Bardock, his squad and possibly some others if the Saiyans weren't so prideful as to stay behind and die with their planet.
"Wait…. No, I forgot that Gine and Kakarot are still down there…. Olave, you and the others better help get her of planet!"
Arlic said as he cracked his knuckles and flew towards the dozens of soldiers.
"I swear if I die, I'm killing Bardock."
The Saiyan muttered as he fired a KI blast through 2 more soldiers and kicked a third into an asteroid, shattering it.
(Planet Vegeta, surface.)
Gine turned to see Olave land beside her as he motioned for the attack pods.
"You need to go, Frieza is going to destroy the whole planet… And Arlic ordered me to get you and Bardock off world."
Olave said, while the Low Ranking Saiyan knew that Bardock was too stubborn to leave, another reason why Bardock and Gine had never gotten along, he was loyal to his commander.
"Where's Arlic? He told me to get Kakarot and bring him here… Olave, where is he?"
Gine asked, worried for her friend before a blast split the sky above them, Olave pointed at the sky as more lights lit the sky up like a firework show.
"He's up there… Gine, he's going to get Bardock and then we're going to leave… Arlic isn't stupid, he knows when a losing battle is going on."
Olave said as said Saiyan landed, carrying an unconscious Bardock which he tossed into an Attack Ball as he faced the two Saiyans.
"He is a pain to reason with… Olave, where's Kolra, Escar, Ceriac and the others? And Gine, I said you should have gone with Kakarot, Frieza isn't going to wait much longer."
Arlic said as Gine was about to respond before Arlic gently pushed her into an attack pod.
"She's going to hate me for that, Olave… But it's for the best… Now we have to go, whatever Saiyans that were arrogant enough to engage Frieza's army aren't going to last much longer… And Planet Vegeta is lost."
Arlic said as Olave looked at his commander with anger, he bared his teeth and got in his face as more lights lit up the sky.
"This is our home, Arlic, Saiyans don't run, they stand and they fight, we need to get back up there and-…!"
Olave started to say as Arlic growled in anger at Olave, annoyed that they were wasting time due to anger getting the best of his friend at the moment.
"Don't you think I'd rather be up there, Olave? Don't you think I would rather fight Frieza, his army, protect our home? Shatter our chains? We don't have a choice! Frieza is going to slaughter us, I don't want to leave, this is our damn home…. But we can't win this fight, not now… Olave, as long as even a single Saiyan breathes… We live… Now please… Will you come with us…? Or do you wish to throw your life away just for nothing?"
Arlic asked as the streaks of light got brighter, both Arlic and Olave knew what was going to happen.
"We will kill Frieza for this… Blood for blood… Promise me that at the very least."
Olave said as Arlic clasped his hand and nodded.
"I promise, we will kill the damn monster… Now get the hell out of here."
Arlic said as they jumped into their attack pods, they had 10, half belonged to Arlic's squad, the other half to Gine, Bardock, Kakarot, Arlic and Olave.
"I'm going to kill Frieza, I can promise Olave and the others that."
Arlic said as the pods lifted into the sky, Arlic hoped that the sheer speed, heavy armor and the branching pods would allow them to punch through Freiza's army.
Arlic watched as the pods flew through orbit, he could see his fellow Saiyan soldiers fighting Frieza's army, he cursed and nearly slammed the window with his fist, he saw Frieza throw a massive attack at the planet.
He cursed again but smiled as the pods passed by the army, Frieza seemed more content with destroying the planet then killing the 10 Attack Pods that passed by him and his army.
"We're past Frieza and his army… At least that damn monster's sadism is good for something…"
Olave said over the pods communicator as something cut them off, pieces of meteor had slammed into the pods, knocking them off course.
"Damn it, meteor shower, Olave, Gine… Can someone here me?!"
Arlic asked over the pod's communication system, he got nothing but static in return, he cursed, the pods were heading off course and his had completely separated from the others. He tried his scouter and got a weak signal.
"Olave, meteors hit the pods, I'm going off course!"
Arlic explained as his pod continued to spiral though space, he cursed if Frieza or Cooler or their armies found them, they would be easy pickings.
"Arlic, we're find you as soon as we can, just give us a minute to-…"
Olave started to say before the communication cut out, Arlic cursed as the pod continued through space, he knew he would be fine as would the others but being separated even for a few days if not weeks.
"All I hope is that Olave and Bardock watch over the others… It shouldn't take that long to repair the Attack Pod and travel to Earth…"
Arlic mused to himself, unaware that Cooler had spotted the group and was making preparations to wipe out the Saiyans that his brother had failed to see due to his sadism.

Author notes
Phew, first chapter done! Before you ask, this takes place in an alternate timeline where the Saiyans were able to hold off Freiza's army long enough for some of the Saiyans to escape. As for Bardock and Gine, they are not together. I will be writing one chapter every other Thursday. Next chapter will show Arlic on Namek. Until next, next Thursday, Lighting Wolf out!
PS: Gine and Bardock are not together in this timeline and Arlic's squad isn't going to be overpowered.
