We last left our "hero" as he was walking off into in the sunset after defeating Frieza's ancestor, Chilled. Many things were going through his head, "Why did Frieza's Death Ball send me back in time? What are the limits of my new power? Why didn't I have this power when I needed it most, when Frieza was destroying my planet and my friends? How can I get back to my own time?"
Suddenly Bardock remembered something, some place. "Planet Icarion! It's inhabitants are said to have records of nearly all knowledge, events, and cultures in the universe, so maybe they can help me. Its a long shot, but it may be my only chance." Bardock began to search for Chilled's ship and, upon finding it above the planet, slaughtered the remaining soldiers, leaving only the pilot. Bardock charged an energy blast in the face of the pilot, and ordered him to take him to Icarion.
"B-but it'll take over 2 years to reach that planet!" replied the pilot in a terrified tone.
"Fine by me, we leave now... Or would you rather end up like your friends here?" Bardock pointed towards the corpses with his free hand.
"O-o-okay, we'll depart at once."
Bardock allowed the energy to dissipate and sat in his new throne, thinking to himself "Two years is a long time, a long time to get even more powerful that is. I need to be at my best so I can slaughter Frieza if I can somehow find a way to get back to my own time."
Bardock stood up and asked the pilot "Where on this ship can I train?"
"Lord Chil-"
Bardock cut him off with a knee to the back of the head and grabbed him by the neck, "You will not refer to that FREAK as lord while I'm around! Now, where can I train?"
"C-Chilled's private quarters is the biggest room on this ship, so that would probably be the best place."
Bardock tossed him back into his chair and started walking toward his new training area, stopping just short of the doorway and turned back to the pilot, "If you even think of disrupting my training I'll feed you your own stomach." Bardock turned back and left the room.
After a few minutes, the pilot began sending a transmission to a distant location. "Come in Lord Artik. This is Boisen, soldier #41935."
"Yes, what is it?"
"Your brother, Chilled, has been slain."
"What?! Who would dare oppose our family?!"
"I don't know his name, but your brother's last words were 'Tell my family to beware of a blonde super being known as a Saiyan.' The weird thing is, he's not blonde."
"Imbecile, it must be a technique that he used. Where is this 'Saiyan' now?"
"Right now he's making me take him to Planet Icarion. We're currently 2 years away."
"Icarion huh? Go along with his commands... for now. I think father and I shall pay this planet a visit. You may cease transmission now."
"Yes sir!"
Two years, one week, and four days have passed since Bardock departed planet Plant. "Sir Bardock, we have nearly reached Planet Icarion. We should be landing in 20 minutes."
"Good, maybe now I can finally get the answers I need. Wait! Down there on the planet's surface! That ship looks just like this one! Uwaaa!" A familiar sensation washed over Bardock, a vision of the future was about to begin.
"So all I have to do is pinch my nerves and pump them full of ki?"
"What, there's still more of you?!"
"Show me your full power, now!"
"Hahaha! Did you really think scum like you could stand up to me? Time to pay for your crimes! Die, saiyan!"
The vision ends.
"I... Was cut in half... Am I destined to die on this planet?"
