Made of scars

Chapter One

Six months had passed since Bardock the Legendary Super Saiyan defeated the dreaded Lord Chilled. Peace and happiness was once again restored to Planet Plant and its native inhabitants who revered Bardock as a hero. Although the Saiyan didn't care for the praise and attention, he came to appreciate Ipana and his son Berry. He owed everything to both of the small purple aliens who saved his life.

Bardock's story is an incredible tale, yet a devastating one.

At one time he was considered a low class warrior hardly worth noticing. But as time went on his skill in battle became more evident and respected. So much that he and his squad would deliberately accept the most dangerous of assignments if only to prove themselves to their fellow Saiyans. Unfortunately Bardock's exploits only cemented the evil lord Frieza's motives to destroy his race. For years the tyrant used the Saiyans to do his bidding who served him without question. They were strong, proud, and deadly; but most of all they were growing in strength. With each assignment the Saiyans completed their power increased exponentially leaving Frieza's most elite soldiers behind. This extraordinary and disturbing revelation set a chain of events into motion that reverberated for years to come.

Bardock lost everything in a day's time; he lost his squad, his race, his home, but worst of all, his wife.

Bardock and Gine's romance was something completely different altogether. They shared a bond that was so profound, so real, that no one could understand it. On the battlefield Bardock was a killer; he was an unstoppable and fearless leader. Yet when he was with her, she had the ability to bring out a side of him that no one else saw- or even known he had. Her touch was unlike anything he had ever felt before and Bardock would give up anything to have that again. He missed her…

Although the Saiyan cared for the small purple aliens who saved his life there was still something missing. Not only that but he felt something inside his heart pushing him to depart from Planet Plant. After a heartwarming goodbye Bardock left and traveled into the endless reaches of outerspace in search of meaning for his life.

Most people believe it's not the destination to enjoy but rather the journey; this was not the case for him. The trek seemed to stretch on for eternity with nothing to keep him company but his thoughts. Sleep was out of the question for every time he closed his eyes the visions returned, each experience worst than the last; and yet being awake was just as bad.

Sitting inside of the cylinder craft with nothing to do but watch the unending blackness brought back memories which plagued his mind. There was no rest for his body or peace for his soul, and worst of all no end in sight- or so he thought. Looking out through the porthole Bardock saw a small blue object appear and grow from the distance.

"What's this?" he asked perplexed.

According to his scanner this planet was nothing like the others he had passed earlier. Unlike the other lifeless balls he had encountered this one actually had water; lots of it. Two thirds of the surface was covered in it not to mention the countless rivers, streams, and other bodies of water that his computer picked up. Not only that but this particular planet contained a diverse assortment of landscapes as well. It had jungles, deserts, vast mountain ranges along with unending forests which covered them. "I think we have a winner…." The scanners detected that the planet was indeed inhabited yet its population was extremely low. Bardock was all but certain he'd have no trouble finding a decent place to lay low and live under the radar, finally he'd be able to start over….

The only thing that was left to decide on was where he would land; it seemed the continent to the far west would fit his needs. Most of it was virtually unpopulated which was perfect for him.

At this point the Saiyan was closing in and would begin his descent soon. The landing process shouldn't take much time and then he could-

The ship jolted violently shaking Bardock from his thoughts. As if that wasn't nerve-wracking enough the alarm system sounded off producing a loud warning sound which rang nonstop. Swiping through the schematics on his computer he found the problem, engine failure. "You've gotta be kidding me.. I just can't catch a break!"

BANG!

The problem went from bad to worse and there was no 'break' in sight. Looking out the window, Bardock saw flames shooting out the side and knew exactly what it was right away. "Warning. Warning. Engine number two has exploded. Engine number two has exploded." The computer speaker warned.

"Ya think?!"

The spacecraft began barreling out of control towards the planet as Bardock buckled his seat's safety harness and fought to regain control of his ship. Unfortunately he'd already entered the atmosphere and was now at the mercy of the local gravity. No matter how hard he pulled the wheel or how fast his fingers danced across the ship's keyboard he could not regain control. The chaotic scene grew even more frightening the moment the atmosphere began to beat his craft up. This continued for what seemed like an eternity before something caught Bardock's attention. He finally broke through the threshold dividing planet from space allowing him to see the world below. The landscape was breathtaking to say the least; there were evergreen forests, sparkling lakes, and large mountains covered in ice.

This wasn't the place he intended to land but with the way things were going Bardock would be happy to stand on solid ground once more. The ship bolted over the trees and missed the mountains making him wonder where he was going to land, but then that question answered itself. Looking through the porthole he saw one of those sparkling lakes growing larger by the second. "Time to go!"

Bardock had no intention of swimming and so bailing was his only option. He activated the door's mechanism only to find it was jammed. He was stuck. Before anymore ideas could come to mind he had already reached the water's surface crashing into the deep blue abyss. His craft rapidly sunk to the bottom hitting the rocky surface with a loud clank!

Acting on pure instinct Bardock balled his fist and slammed it into the door obliterating it upon impact. As a result water gushed in flooding the cockpit while the Saiyan furiously worked to unbuckle the safety harness. By the time he was free the cabin was completely submerged but that didn't matter, Bardock had exited the craft and began swimming to safety. He bolted for the surface and was just about to break through when something shot through his head. It had only been a few seconds yet it felt much longer as the images filled his mind. He saw a woman thrashing madly for air as if she was drowning. She had long blonde hair and wore a sparkling dress which matched her soft blue eyes. Just when he was about to react the vision left and Bardock returned to reality. A few minutes later the warrior clawed his way onto a nearby beach while he continued gasping for air. He coughed up a large amount of water and his breath finally returned, "What….was….that.."

Elsewhere on the planet….

Night had fallen in the kingdom of Arendelle and Queen Elsa was once again at the mercy of her restless nights. It seemed every time the fair ruler did manage to sleep the same dream would return, and seem more real each time.

She saw a man with long unkempt hair and strange armor standing in an open field. He had dark hazel eyes and a long jagged scar running down the side of his face. He appeared to be in distress and in pain for every time she dreamt of him; he was in a battle of some kind. She could tell this man was different from anyone she'd ever met before and yet just like her. In each vision he became engulfed by a strange light as he began to release a primal scream. His pain and despair gave way to rage as the light grew intense and the ground beneath his feet began to quake and rumble beneath him. The scream shook the Queen to the core for she knew what was coming next. In that very instant the golden light became so bright it temporarily blinded her.

Thankfully her vision returned in time to see the climax of the dream. The scream grew so loud it shook entire mountains in the distance while his hair began to change. It flickered from its regular jet black color to a bright gold that glowed and radiated. Meanwhile those passionate hazel eyes that the warrior possessed changed into a dark turquoise color which looked as if they were staring into her soul.

Before anything else could happen Elsa's eyes shot open as she rose off of her pillow covered in sweat. Once she remembered where she was the Queen lied back down and slowed her breathing. Who was this man? Were her dreams trying to tell her something?

Elsa had so many questions flying through her mind which she wanted answered. One thing was certain though; if there was something to these dreams she'd have her answers soon enough.

Hello there my friends! It's me Manoftheyear1989! For those of you who don't know me I'm the guy who's writing Dragon Ball Z: The Frozen Saga. It's basically a DBZ/Frozen crossover I've been working on it for some time now and I highly encourage you to check it out as well. : )

Now I want to take this time to reassure those of my readers who are following my main story don't worry. I know I haven't updated The Frozen Saga in a while and trust me I'm really anxious to get it out there and I will soon. I'm making good headway with the newest chapter. I was just suffering with a minor case of writers block and if there's one thing I've learned- NEVER EVER PUSH YOURSELF TOO FAR when it comes to writing your fanfic. If you're not careful you can burn yourself out and so it's good to just stand back every once in a while and just let the ideas flow. And don't fear because this story WILL NOT interfere with The Forzen Saga. You all have my word : )

Let me know what ya'll think of this chapter; comments, compliments, and constructive criticism.
