A/N: Hey guys! I'm still alive after two years of not publishing anything, but I am coming back, folks! I have been watching the Dragon Ball series for a while, and I've decided to write my own story on it. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Purple Frieza and Head Injuries

Bardock grunted as he lifted the corpses of his fallen comrades, inwardly cursing Dodoria as he got up on shaky legs, although they ended up collapsing.

"Need to stop…that…Frieza…bastard…" muttered Bardock as he tried to lift himself up again. "I'm a Saiyan. We never…give up." Suddenly, he collapsed in pain, muttering "Frieza" over and over again as he blacked out again.

About an hour later, Bardock woke up with a gasp. He was looking into the future again, although this was plenty different from his other prophecies, because it had nothing to do with him standing up to Frieza. Instead, there was a spacepod floating in the air.

"Isn't that Kakarot's pod?" thought Bardock as he recognized the loud wailing of his young son. He then saw a large ship that looked suspiciously like Frieza's, although it was colored differently.

"Oh no…"

Bardock's view quickly switched, as he was inside of the ship. A purple person that looked a lot like Frieza without the horns was staring at the pod.

"We are prepared for interception, Lord Cooler." said one of Purple Frieza's henchmen.

"NO!" Bardock screamed. "I need to protect my race, but Kakarot might die! He needs my protection!" He dragged himself to his pod, trying to ignore the searing pain in his legs.

"What was the coordinates for that planet Kakarot was going to? Earth? Right, those are the ones." Bardock pushed his buttons on his pod, and flew off in the direction of his son.

It took about four hours, but Bardock managed to get close to Kakarot's pod, and he was trailing behind him. It happened to be just in time, as the same ship that he saw in his dream was floating precariously above them. He clicked his scouter to see who he was facing once he infiltrated the ship. The powers were quite high, with the biggest one at 750,000. Bardock prepared to open the pod, but he saw Kakarot's pod flew past the ship without problem. He waited for a little while, Spirit Cannon charging in case he needed to use it. However, he also passed the ship without confrontation. Bardock sighed with relief, when he heard a large boom behind him. Bardock quickly realized that Planet Vegeta had finally met its end.

"Gine…Raditz…I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you guys from that tyrant." Bardock cursed as he flew off in his pod. "I'll take revenge on you guys, and I'll take Kakarot too. That bastard has no chance when facing two Saiyans like us. I will raise and train my son."

He collapsed again as he waited for his pod to land on Earth.

Bardock woke up again in his damaged pod, finally feeling better, although very hungry. He scraped some of the dried blood off of his forehead as he lifted himself up. He found himself in a place surrounded by trees after climbing out of the massive crater. He looked up and saw a horned animal staring straight at him, seemingly horrified at the alien that landed right in front of him. Bardock charged a finger beam and struck the animal through the chest.

"I have some food now!" said Bardock, flashing a rare smile. After all, there wasn't much to smile about, given that he and Kakarot were the last two Saiyans remaining. Bardock had absolutely no idea where to find his son.

"He has a power level of two. That's less than these pathetic creatures on this planet. All I have to do is look for the kid who looks like me, and has a tail. I don't even understand why we didn't end up in the same position. Our coordinates were the same." said Bardock in between bites. Once he was done, he set off in search of Kakarot, trying as hard as he could to ignore the planet's inhabitants looking at him and not-so-subtly pointing at his bloody armor, hair, and his tail.

"What's your problem? Haven't ever seen anyone like me before?" he said, growing increasingly irritated at the staring.

"Well-" someone answered, but he was unable to finish, because Bardock fired another Finger Beam through his house, setting it on fire.

"Next time one of you idiots point at me, that beam will hit your chest. Got it?" Given the scared looks that everyone was giving him gave him an answer. Smirking in satisfaction, he continued to walk in search of another pod.

Somehow, after just one week, Bardock managed to get himself closer to his full power, finally able to fly again, making his voyages much easier. As such, it didn't take more than two hours to find Kakarot's smoldering spacepod. It was clear that Kakarot had a much harder landing than he did. Clicking his scouter, Bardock noticed that there were only two power levels of relatively the same value.

"That's the last time I use this thing," said Bardock, as he pulled off his scouter and crushed it with his hands. "I can't risk Frieza knowing we're alive." He ventured off in the same direction of the two power levels.

Once he got to the top of an annoyingly large mountain, he looked and saw Kakarot in a barrel, fussing loudly at the person who was carrying him.

"An old man, huh?" Bardock thought. "I can take him pretty easily and get my son back." He jumped in front of the old man, who was so startled that he dropped Kakarot, who screamed loudly as he fell down the cliff.

"You IDIOT! What are you doing with Kakarot?" Bardock yelled at the stranger.

"K-Kakarot? That's Goku that you're talking about. I'll let you know if I find a Kakarot lying around." stammered the old man. Bardock fought the urge to slap him because of his stupidity

"Gok-What kind of nonsense are you saying. He's my son! Can you not tell? We have the same hair and tail. That wouldn't be a coincidence, old man! Stay out of my family affairs!" Bardock hit the old man, easily knocking him out. He charged a finger beam when he heard a sickening crack. It appeared that Kakarot had hit the ground.

"Crap! I forgot about Kakarot!" Bardock jumped and flew down the cliff to rescue his unconscious son. He cradled Kakarot's bleeding head in his hand and flew back up to the old man, who was coming to.

"Leave Goku alone!" The man now was getting angry.

"I already told you that he's Kakarot!" Bardock was getting increasingly frustrated with the man. "He needs medical help! He's cracked his goddamn head!"

"Give him to me. I'll take care of him."

Bardock, with great reluctance, handed the old man his son.

"Fine. But I'm coming with you."

After a week, Kakarot finally came to. Bardock merely smiled.

"What he lacks in power, he makes up for it in endurance."

However, Kakarot embraced the old man, but began to cry when Bardock tried to pick him up again.

With increasing fury, Bardock said, "Keep him with you for now. Remember, though, I'll be back for my son, old man."

He then flew off, trying to stay strong despite his terrible feeling of being shunned. He now had two missions: To get back his son, and to defeat Frieza.

A/N: Did you enjoy it? Please review! On the topic of my other stories, I am working on them. I hope to have Chapter 8 of Unfogging the Past out within a week or so, so look out for that! Also, I will be addressing the character that you know as Goku as Goku now, instead of Kakarot.
