Bardock's Childhood, Ch. 1

On the blood red planet of Vegeta-sei, a baby was being placed in a small space pod which would carry him to a distant planet. Like all Saiyans, the child was destined to destroy. The child sucked its thumb as the door closed. How a killer could be so innocent. Looking at this small, helpless infant, no one could guess that in a few years he would turn into a mass murderer. The countdown began and the Saiyan's parents got one last look at the child. The mother wept, yet the father stood, showing no emotion. Finally the pod blasted off, carrying the young warrior known as Bardock, deep into space.
The space pod landed with a bang. The planet Juraii was an easy conquer for a low level Saiyan baby. The pod door slowly opened and Bardock awoke. Luckily, his pod crashed in an area without a huge populaton, so no one would notice. The youngster climbed out of his pod and fell on the ground. He let out a soft wimper as a tear formed in his eye. Trying to get up, Bardock caught a glimpse of something. The other Saiyans had timed his departure just right-he had arrived on a full moon.
Suddenly Bardock started to go through a dramatic change. The little child was now transforming into a giant ape. Slowly, his eyes started to glow red and fur started to grow on his skin. Large fangs sprouted form his mouth and he increased largely in size. Soon he was in his Oozaru form. The monster roared and started a rampaging attack...on a small town.
The next few yeas for that planet were grim. Death and destruction infested a once peacefull land. Screas of agony and pain floated through the country sides as Bardock purged the planet. Bardock showed no mercy, killing all in the way. Yet it was his Saiyan instinct that propelled him to do this, not his own mind and thoughts.
Bardock was five when the planet was totally purged. It was then when he returned to Vegeta-sei. When he had just gotten out of his space pod, his mom ran over to him. She had been notified of his arrival a few minutes earlier. She hugged him close to her. He stood, not understanding what was going on. He was sent out so young he hadn't even rerember his parents. She looked at him, smiling. A tear slowly ran down her cheek. Once again she hugged him. "Bardock! I'm so glad you're home!" Then something in his mind clicked. He pulled away from the woman's embrace. "Mom?" She nodded at his question. "Do you want to go see your father?" He nodded and they two flew off.
The two Saiyans got to Bardock's parent's house soon enough. The woman opened the door and Bardock followed her in. As soon as Bardock entered, he noticed a large man sitting at a nearby table. Bardock stayed behind his mother, this man seemed intimidating-even to a little Saiyan. The man looked up at the other two. "Regina, what the hell do you want? I told you I don't feel like listening to you bitch all night. I thought you would listen to me and go see that demon spawn sister of yours." Regina, ignoring her mate's rude comment, just sighed. "Raptor...come see your little boy!" She quickly turned around and looked her young son in the eyes. "It's okay, Bardock." She said softly. Bardock slowly crept from behind his mother and looked at his father. His father glared at him with disgust. "Hmph! Third class warrior! What will you amount to? Nothing! You're pathetic! I don't want to look at you!" For a few minutes, Bardock stood, in total shock. Then, Raptor shot a ki blast at Bardock. This was his father? Then he turned and ran away, feeling angry and upset at the same time. He got out of the house and flew and flew.
Suddenly he flew into something. He looked up. It was his father. Bardock stared in aww and his father just grinned. "So, if it isn't the reject?" Bardock froend. "Why do you hate me dad? I didn't do anyhting to you!" A look of sadness crossed his face as a single tear began to roll down his cheek. "See? You weakling! You're even crying! Look, I'm telling you this once and once only! I do not want to see your face again. Ever." Bardock swallowed. "But why? What did I do? Wha-" His talking was interupted by an energy beam aimed directly at him. Bardock barley dodged the attack. It was aimed for his forehead but instead it hit the left side of his face. He backed off, rubbing his bloddy cheek. It hurt really bad. "Fine!!! I'm leaving!!!" Bardock once again flew off in a rage. Raptor grunted and wnet back to his house.
At the family house, Raptor walked into his quarters to find his mate lying on the couch, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "Pathetic female." He grunted and walked across the room. But as he was doing this, he was stopped by Regina. "Bastard." He glared at her. "How could you? He was our son...and you threw him away like trash!" Raptor smirked. "When will you ever learn, Regina?" He then blasted his mate, instantly killing her.
Bardock got tired of flying. So he began to walk. By now he was far away from home. He was entering a city called Ryuten. He sighed to himself. He didn't know what to do, after all he was just a kid. So he kept walking. It was starting to get dark. Suddenly he heard a voice calling him. "Hey! Kid!" he turned around to see a spiky haired Saiyan around his age sitting on a doorstep of one of the houses. Bardock went over. "Whatcha doin?" asked the curious stranger. "Ummm...nothing." Bardock stammered. "Where's you're parents?" the boy walked over to him. "None of you're business!" Bardock snapped. The other Saiyan backed away. "Okay...sorry! Well, anyway, my name's Toma. What's yours?" Bardock looked at him. "My name's Bardock." Then Toma nodded. "Bardock, ya got anywhere to stay?" Bardock shrugged. "No..." he said sadly. Toma smiled. "You can stay with us." Then Bardock himself grinned. "Yeah...my parents won't mind!" The two Saiyans entered the home.
Toma's parents were relaxing in the sitting room, talking about all the latest purges. Suddenly Toma and some strange little kid burst in the door. "Mom! Dad! This is Bardock! He was alone and he needed somewhere to stay. Can he stay with us? Please?" Toma's parents, Zanaria and Kalpo looked at each other. Then they went over to Bardock. "Bardock, you're...alone? Where are your parents?" asked Toma's mom, Zanaria. Bardock sighed. "Please tell us." said Toma's dad Kalpo. "Well...I just came home form conquering this planet named Juraii and then I got out of my space pod and there was this lady and I relaized she was my mom and then she told me to go meet my dad and I said fine and..." Bardock caught his breath. "And then I met him and he was really mean and he attacked me and told me he never wanted to see me again. And I told him ok." It was about that time Toma noticed the deep wound on Bardock's left cheek. It looked really bad. It would probably leave a scar. So his dad must have done that.
Toma's parents whispered to each other and then sighed. "Well, you can stay with us untill we find out what's going on."
