The sky darkened as a bright light sprung forth from seven, carefully
grouped spheres resting carefully on the small patch of grass. The light
swept upward, entwining itself between the pitch-black clouds that hung
around. Shenron, the mighty dragon loomed overhead, speaking in a deep
voice that shook the ground.
"You have awakened me from my slumber. Speak your two wishes" he boomed.
A shadowy figure raises its hands and shouts to Shenron in a muffled voice, his mouth being covered in a thick scarf.
"Mighty Shenron, my first wish is for you to resurrect the lost saiyan, Bardock, and my second, is for you to being him here-to earth."
Shenron's mighty figure glowed for a brief moment. "It has been done" he said at last, "I shall take my leave."
The seven spheres-no, the seven dragon balls shot up in yet another burst of light and shot to the corners of the earth. The sky above cleared, revealing a particularly bright and cheerful day. The sun shone as a light breeze ruffled the grass and gently lifted the clothing Chi Chi was hanging to dry out on the clothesline. A particularly damp shirt caught her off guard and slapped her wetly on the cheek.
"Ugh, for christssake, why can't we live close to the city and have electricity like normal people." She looked up briefly to see her husband lying peacefully in mid air, snoring away.
"GOKU!!" The birds in a nearby tree squawked in alarm at this sudden outburst, and flew up in a panic. Goku was startled from his sleep, tilting to one side in surprise at the sudden flare-up from his wife below him.
"Yes Chi Chi?" Goku looked questioningly down at his wife, his eyes large with the innocence of a puppy.
"Goku, by don't you get down here and help me with this laundry?" She threw the shirt in her hand down, back into the wicker basket and placed her hands heavily on her hips. "All you do is sit around and sleep."
"But Chi Chi" He began "I was waiting for Gohan to get back from town, and Goten is still with Trunks. I was prepping to train with them when they got home." He grinned sheepishly, knowing the answer that would be yelled to him.
But she didn't yell at him for the moment, "You boys and your martial arts" She sighed and placed two clothespins in her mouth, while bending over to reclaim the shirt she had thrown down. "I'll never understand you," she muttered out of the side of her mouth.
Then in the distance, a dark speckle shot downwards into the earth, shuddering the ground and resulting in a column of blackish brown smoke rising from the point of impact. Goku's eyes hardened into a determined stare. He looked down at Chi Chi and told her to stay there, and then he powered up and flew in the direction of the crash location.
Bardock crawled from the Saiyan pod he had traveled in, his mind a jumble. He remembered his death, Frieza, seeing his son. But he couldn't make the pieces come together. His tail twitched carelessly from being wrapped tightly around his waist and hung loose, occasionally swinging to either side. Out of an old habit he peered to the left, expecting to see a scouter, and discovering there was none to be found.
"Oh yeah. That's right" Bardock climbed out from the crater, feeling in no condition to fly. In his minds eye, he could see a lone figure speeding towards him, soon joined by several individuals. He blinked several times, and slowly walked to lean beneath a tree. He needed to think about his vision.
Goku flew along at a fairly fast past, his rigid eyes locked onto his singular target. Not soon after he had left his home in the mountains, Gohan joined him, along with the other defenders of the Earth, the Z fighters.
"Kakkarot, do you sense that?" Vegeta flew near Goku, keeping his voice low.
"Yes Vegeta, I do. That's a Saiyan all right"
They landed as a group on the ridge of the crater. Not far from them, they spotted a figure sitting underneath the cool shade of a tree. From this distance he looked like he could have been Goku. The stranger had apparently noticed them, and lifted himself to his feet. It was not long before he stood in front of them, and their jaws were on the ground.
Bardock carefully looked over the group's faces and tested their power energies in his mind like a tester samples wine. Yes, he thought, three half saiyans, and two full ones. The rest are all native beings from this planet. When he reached the end of the line that had formed, his mind froze. Prince Vegeta?! Here?! And with Kakkarot, his offspring! This was outstanding. He takes a step towards Goku and embraces him, then turns to Vegeta and gives him a hearty "My Prince".
Goku is startled by this sudden show of affection from this Saiyan. He quirks an eyebrow questioningly. "Just who are you?"
Bardock looked at his son again, happy for once to see him. "Kakkarot, I am your father, Bardock. Don't you remember me?"
