I'd like to explain a few things before we get into this story. For one thing I've remastered it. Meaning the 3 chapters that were posted before were deleted and replaced with this Prologue. There wasn't much planning put into what I had before and honestly, I didn't like it all that much. I'm really trying to nail a good Dragon Ball story so hopefully this new version of Dragon Ball Ultra will turn out great. So, this prologue will be more or less about the origin stories of the OCs named in the description. Enjoy. I DO NOT OWN DRAGON BALL.
Prologue: Dragon Ball Ultra Minus
In the middle of a wasteland something is happening. An army of soldiers are marching towards a location. Some walked on foot while others were in vehicles such as tanks or airships. They were all coming up on a large crater. As they all took positions surrounding the edge of the crater everyone took aim at what was at the very bottom.
"Command we got eyes on it." A lieutenant said through the communicator built into his helmet. His helmet as well as the others also had a built-in camera that his superiors are currently looking through from their base.
"Any movement?" Command asked.
He investigated the crater at the strange white pod at the bottom. "None sir. Permission to investigate?"
"Granted." Command said.
"I need a five men team with me. Everyone else keep your weapons trained on the spacecraft." He ordered.
And so, the lieutenant and five other men into the crater. The floated down with small jet boosters in their boots. They all were very being very cautious with their approach. The lieutenant was the one that stepped closer.
"What the hell is it?" One solider asked.
"Don't know. Just be ready for anything." The solider next to him said.
The lieutenant got a bit closer to the pod. He lightly tapped it with his foot and suddenly it made a noise. It startled the soldiers and they all readied their weapons. The pod then opened, and all of the men looked on edge. The lieutenant peaked inside.
"Huh?" He lowered his weapon for he could not understand what he was witnessing.
"What is it sir?" A Private asked.
"It's a…..baby?" He answered.
It was indeed a baby. Laying sound asleep inside the pod. It was a little girl with spiky hair that stood up except for two bangs hanging down her forehead. What was even more strange to the military units is that she had a tail.
"Um command are you seeing this?" The Lieutenant asked.
"We are. Examine the specimen." Command ordered.
The squad leader looked the infant over as it slept. Against his better judgement he reached in and picked the child up.
"Careful." One of the men said.
"It seems to be wearing armor of some kind." He tugged on one of the shoulder guards. "Strange it's elastic as well."
Suddenly the pod started making noises again. A tiny machine inside it was going off. A few moments later that machine projected a large full moon into the sky.
"What in the?" One of the surrounding soldiers said.
"Why is it doing that?" Another said.
"Wake up Calla. Destroy all life forms."
"Hmm?" The lieutenant heard a recording from the pod.
"Wake up Calla. Destroy all life forms."
"Destroy all life forms? What the hell is going o-….. huh?"
(THUMP THUMP)
The infant who the recording referred to as Calla had awoken. Her tiny body shook as she locked her eyes onto the projection of the full moon. The child's tail twitched and latched back and forward.
(THUMP THUMP)
Calla's eyes slowly turned bloody red and she grew in size as her mouth now bared fangs. A monstrous growl left her throat. The lieutenant was completely frozen in fear as this baby he held was slowly turning into a horrifying monster. He didn't even get a chance to react as Calla quickly crushed his skull with her fists. Calla landed on her feet as the now did commanding officer fell to the ground.
The surrounding men were also paralyzed with fear. They didn't move a muscle until one of them shouted. "RETREAT!" They all cleared the sight as each of them activated the jets in their boots to escape. Every soldier, tank, vehicle, and air ship distanced themselves from the crater.
There were a few moments of silence before a giant hand emerged from the crater. Calla in her monstrous form slowly climbed out of the crater. As she stood up tall, she blocked out the sun and her shadow covered up the landscape.
One pilot sat in his airship mouth agape at what he was witnessing. "Is that a monkey?"
Calla let out a thunderous roar as she pounded on her chest.
"FIRE! TAKE IT DOWN!" A solider shouted.
And just like that the army opened fire on Calla. All of the weapons were laser based. Of course, none of it seemed to affected Calla at all. Everything just bounced off her armor and her thick hide. She roared in rage as she brought both her arms up. Calla viciously slammed her fists to the ground crushing dozens of men. She also created a shockwave that blew back everyone and everything that was close by. The surrounding airships weren't affected by the shockwave much. Ten of them circled Calla as the shot at her. She sat up and looked around as if she just noticed that they were firing at her. Some of the blasts hit her face, but it was a minor annoyance rather than real damage.
"Damnit nothing's working!" A pilot said.
Calla began swatting away airships. She managed to grab one in her hand and crush it. After taking aim Calla threw it at another flying vehicle and destroyed it. Below her the infantry army tried to escape. They had given up on trying to kill her and were more focused on staying alive. Calla would not let them escape though. She fired powerful blasts from her mouth and devastated the rest of the ground forces. After ten monstrous explosions, there was nothing left of them except for destroyed vehicles and scorched corpses. It was a hellish scene.
After scouring the area, Calla couldn't spot anything to kill. Until she saw something off in the distance. Far away from where Calla is standing is a large city. The recorded orders from the pod she arrived in were repeated over and over again in the back of her subconscious. Calla began stomping towards the city with the intention to massacre everyone and everything there.
Suddenly Calla could see a green light coming from a tall building. In the middle of the city there is a giant skyscraper sized laser cannon and it took aim at her. Recognizing it as a target, Calla charged up a ki blast from her mouth. Both her and the cannon fired a beam of energy. When the two attacks collided, it created a large explosion that engulfed the entire wasteland. One could not tell who won that power struggle.
One year later
The very proud warrior race known as Saiyans have been in service to the tyrant Frieza for years. Their task was simple. Conquer planets in his name. Over time Saiyans have grown stronger with each mission they've completed. Some of them believed that one day they would be able to overthrow Frieza and his empire. Restoring themselves to their former glory.
Somewhere on a world distant from Planet Vegeta an epic battle is taking place. Aliens were being slaughtered left and right by two warriors. One had curvy spiky hair and a scar on his cheek. His black and brown battle armor had two shoulder guards. He stood at 5'9 and had a lean build with a red headband. The other warrior had messy spiky hair and his armor left his arms exposed due to the lack of shoulder guards. Unlike the other warrior, he wore a scouter with a green lens. He stood at 6'3 and had a slightly more muscular build than his comrade with a bone tooth necklace around his neck.
"I'm up to twenty now Dakon! Catch up!" The Saiyan with the curvy hair teased as he blew away a group of aliens with a ki blast.
"Ha just twenty? I expect more from you Bardock." Dakon said as he fired a blast that devastated a large group of aliens. "At this rate I'll leave you in the dust."
"Wanna bet?" Bardock accepted the challenge as he launched up into the air and rained down a volley of ki blasts on a group of aliens.
"Ha what kinda move was that? See if you can match this. Dakon charged a blast in his hand and aimed it towards the sky. "HAAA!" Dakon shot a sphere of energy into the sky and it broke apart into smaller spheres. They locked onto singular aliens and each sphere met its mark.
"Tch fancy moves don't impress me." Bardock said.
"Gets the job done doesn't it?" Dakon retorted.
"Whatever let's just finish this already. Bardock said.
The two Saiyan warriors then zipped into the sky. They both aimed a hand at what remained of the enemies they were fighting. Bardock charged a blue ki blast while Dakon charged a red one. They both fired and completely decimated what was left of the army. When the smoke cleared all that remained were piles of corpses.
"Well that takes care of that. Mission accomplished." Bardock said.
"And as a bonus we have something to eat." Dakon said.
And so, with the planet's lifeforms successfully exterminated, Bardock and Dakon enjoyed some well-deserved downtime. They set up a fire and helped themselves to the buffet of dead bodies surrounding them.
Dakon sat on an alien's dead body while taking bites out of a severed arm. He swallowed before speaking. "So when should we head back?" Dakon asked.
"Whenever we want, I guess. We finished our mission earlier than expected." Bardock said as he threw a piece of wood into the fire to keep it going.
"Fine by me." Dakon took another bite of his snack. He spit out a small piece of bone before speaking again. "Though I wish we had something better tasting to snack on."
"Yeah." Bardock picked up a leg and bit into it. He swallowed before saying. "Still not the worst thing I've eaten."
The two sat in silence for a few minutes filling their stomachs. Dakon had devoured the arm he was snacking on down to the bone.
He tossed the bone behind him before saying. "Toma would've loved this."
Bardock smiled at the mention of that name. "Yeah….he would've." He said as he took off his headband to look at it for a moment.
"I really miss the old days sometimes when Toma, Rutaba, and Hanasia were around. Remember when Gine was part of the fighting team?" Dakon asked before chuckling a bit.
"Ugh don't remind me. I had to save her butt too many times to count." Bardock said as he wrapped his headband back around his head.
"I always know she had a thing for you ya know?" Dakon said with a smirk on his face.
"Shut up." Bardock said with an annoyed tone.
"Hey if you ask me, you're lucky you have such a softy as a mate. Okara is a pain in the ass." Dakon said.
"Heh bet you won't say that to her face." Bardock teased.
"No way! That woman is crazy. Still….I kinda like it when she yells at me." Dakon admitted.
"You're as strange as they come." Bardock said.
"Like you're any-…huh?" Dakon had just received a message on his scouter.
"What's up?" Bardock asked.
"We just got new orders. All Saiyans have been instructed to return back to Planet Vegeta." Dakon explained.
"All Saiyans?" Bardock asked.
"That's the message. Why so sudden?" Dakon asked.
"Its very odd alright." Bardock said.
"Well I guess we better head back then." Dakon said as he got up.
Bardock seemed to be in deep thought.
"Bardock?" Dakon asked.
"Yeah…. let's head back." Bardock said.
Elsewhere
A young boy sat on a corpse eating a fruit. He wore a blue jump suit underneath white and brown battle armor two shoulder guards. His spiky hair stood up and his tail was wrapped around his waist.
"Prince Vegeta." Another Saiyan boy walked up and said.
"What Raditz I'm eating?" Vegeta said slightly irritated.
"I just got a message that Frieza ordered all Saiyans to return back to Planet Vegeta." Raditz said.
"And?" Vegeta asked in an uncaring tone.
"Don't you need to go back? You are the Prince after all." Raditz said.
"Forget it! Just pretend like you didn't hear it." Vegeta ordered.
"Ok if you say so." Raditz said as he removed his scouter from his head and placed it on a rock.
"Hmph…" Vegeta looked into the sky and wondered to himself why Frieza would suddenly call all the Saiyans back home. Of course, he didn't really care why and didn't waste much time thinking about it.
Raditz flew up to a near by tree and picked a fruit from it. Before he could take a bite however his scouter read two power levels heading for him and Vegeta. He looked in the direction they were coming from and saw familiar Saiyans approaching from the sky. "Oh Turles and Rycelo are back."
Vegeta glanced towards the sky and saw the two other members of Radtiz's team arrive. The two boys touched down and Radtiz met them on the ground. He had and extra fruit in his hand.
"Where have you two been all day?" Radtiz said as he tossed the extra fruit to Turles.
Turles effortlessly caught it. "Clearing out the south quadrant of this planet. Everything is all wrapped up over there."
"Radtiz did you hear the message?" Rycelo asked after turning off his scouter.
"We're pretending like we didn't hear it. Prince Vegeta doesn't want to go back." Radtiz said.
"Why?" Turles asked.
"You have a problem with my decision Turles?" Vegeta questioned as he gave Turles a death glare.
Turles averted his eyes. "Uh n..no my Prince. I was just curious is all."
"I don't have to explain myself to you worm." Vegeta said as he went back to the fruit he was eating.
Turles twisted his face in a bit of anger but took care not to let Vegeta notice.
"So, what do we do now?" Rycelo asked.
"Do whatever you want you I don't care. As long as you don't annoy me." Vegeta said before taking another bite of his fruit.
"Come on guys. There's still some parts of the planet that still need to be cleared out. Let's go have some fun before Nappa and his team takes away all the fun." Radtiz said.
"Sounds like a plan." Rycelo said.
"Fine by me." Turles agreed.
The trio of Saiyan then took to the skies leaving Prince Vegeta in solitude. Radtiz led was leading the formation while Turles and Rycelo hung back. Rycelo noticed an angry look on Turles' face.
"Something bothering you Turles?" Rycelo asked.
"I hate taking crap from that punk Vegeta. Always talking down on us as if we're worthless." Turles vented.
"Well it's not like there's much we can do about it. He far outranks us." Raditz chimed in as he heard what Turles said.
"And if you could, would you?" Turles asked his comrade.
"If I could I'd cave his skull in." Radtiz said.
"Yeah who wouldn't want to punch that jerk in the face? His dad too while we're at it." Rycelo said.
"Boys. One day that we'll be the ones callin the shots. We won't have to take orders from anyone. Not the Prince, the King, the Elites, and certainly not Frieza." Turles declared.
"Now that's a future to look forward to." Radtiz said.
"You can say that again." Rycelo.
"Just you wait and see." Turles said.
A few days later with Bardock and Dakon
Bardock and Dakon were inside their ship heading back to Planet Vegeta. Dakon flew while Bardock sat silently in the passenger seat. Neither of them had scouters on. Bardock was silently napping until Dakon decided to wake him up.
"Bardock…..Bardock."
Bardock groaned as he opened his eyes. "What?"
"We're almost home." Dakon looked to see other ships returning to Vegeta. "Everyone is coming back."
"Hey check that out." Bardock said.
"Huh?" Dakon looked in the direction Bardock was looking. The first thing that came to mind was how he didn't notice it. They were staring at Lord Frieza's ship. "That bastard Frieza's ship?"
"Don't you think it's strange that he's here? If he had something important to say to us, then he could've told us himself through our scouters." Bardock said.
"True. All of the Saiyans didn't need to rush back here if it's supposed to be some big announcement. Maybe he has some sort of new weapon to give us?" Dakon assumed.
"There's still no need for everyone to rush back all of the sudden. There's something more to this." Bardock said.
"What are you thinking?" Dakon asked.
"Tell me. How well do you think things are going between us Saiyans and Frieza as of right now?" Bardock asked.
"Tch well we've been doing his bidding for years now. If there is a planet he wants conquered, we conquer it. That was our job long before Cold put Frieza in charge. Even so there wasn't a single Saiyan that liked Cold or Frieza and I can definitely say the same thing now." Dakon said.
While they were conversating their ship had safely landed on Planet Vegeta. Fellow Saiyans were departing from their own ships after just arriving themselves.
"And I guarantee Frieza feels the same way about us." Bardock said as he got up from his seat. Dakon did the same. "His army has gotten pretty big over the years. They can probably get by without us."
As Dakon followed Bardock out of the ship he had a sudden realization on what Bardock was getting at.
"You…think he's going to wipe us all out?" Dakon asked.
"…Maybe." Bardock said.
Dakon didn't want to believe it. He tried to apply logic to what his comrade was saying. "Ok so what if Frieza's army has gotten bigger over the years? We Saiyans still make up half of his fighting force. Hell, we're more productive when it comes to conquering worlds. It shouldn't matter if he likes us or not. The fact is that our race is too useful to him." Dakon explained.
"Do you honestly believe he thinks we're that useful over fighters like the Ginyu force? Most Saiyans don't even reach into the thousands when it comes to battle power. You me and Okara are the only low-class warriors that are two thousand and above." Bardock said.
As much as Dakon wanted to disagree his friend was right. The majority of the Saiyans are weaker than most Freiza soldiers.
"Yo Bardock Dakon. You both are back alive and well I see." A fellow Saiyan walked up to greet them.
"Do you know why we were called back?" Bardock wasted no time trying to solve the mystery.
"No clue. Maybe Frieza's lackeys found a big planet or something. They might need all of us to conquer it." He assumed.
"That could be it." Dakon hoped.
That wasn't a good enough answer for Bardock.
"Oh and speaking of his lackeys I heard some of them has been asking around about the Super Saiyan."
Bardock and Dakon looked at each other as if they had the same thought.
"The Super Saiyan?" Dakon asked.
"That legend?" Bardock asked.
"Yeah weird right? Welp anyway I'll catch you guys later." He said before walking off.
"Bardock…you don't think." Dakon had hoped he was just being paranoid.
"That's gotta be it Dakon. Think about it. Why else would they be asking about it?" Bardock questioned.
"…..shit." It was a tough pill to swallow but Dakon had accepted the harsh truth. "Frieza's gonna kill us all."
"…..let's go find Gine and Okara." Bardock said.
Elsewhere far above Planet Vegeta
Inside a giant space ship hovering above the upper atmosphere of Planet Vegeta, a small menacing looking pinkish alien sat in his floating throne. He sat there just staring out of a large window grinning delightedly at the Saiyan ships as they returned home.
"Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God. I've investigated them, but they seem to be merely legends." Kikono said.
"Well of course it's just a legend only a monkey can think of, but I cannot allow even the slightest possibility." Freiza said.
"So, shall I call it all off then?" Kikono asked.
"Hahaha after I went through the trouble of getting them all in one place? I think not." Freiza said.
"Huh?"
Is this not the perfect opportunity to exterminate them? Planet and all." Frieza said.
"Are you certain my lord? Saiyans do excel at combat." Kikono asked.
"Please the Ginyu force is worth more than a thousand Saiyans. Besides they have grown too proud to truly stay loyal to me. It's about time I exterminated the monkeys and their miserable planet. It's no heavy loss." Frieza said.
"Perhaps not." Kikono agreed.
"Hmm by the way how many Saiyans have returned home?" Frieza asked.
"Most of them should be back within a month or so, but it will take longer for every single one to return." The attendant explained.
"How irritating. Hmph well I shall not wait that long. I'll execute my plan in a month's time." Frieza declared.
"What about the surviving Saiyans? Won't they suspect you?" The attendant asked.
"Oh, just tell them Planet Vegeta was hit by a meteor." Frieza said.
"Oh father." A voice rang from behind Frieza and everyone in the room.
They all turned around to see a young alien strongly resembling Frieza only smaller and no horns.
"I know they're monkeys, but you can come up with a better lie than that." He said.
"Ah well if it isn't my strapping young lad. How are you Kuriza?" Frieza greeted his son.
"Fantastic as always. I just got back from visiting Uncle Cooler." Kuriza said.
"I see….and how is my dear brother? Is he still bitter about your grandfather favoring me over him?" Frieza asked followed by a chuckle.
"Oh, father must you be so cruel towards your own brother. If you and Uncle Cooler set aside your differences, then ruling the universe would be so much easier." Kuriza said.
"My dear son you know the only one who is fit to rule this universe is me." Frieza said.
"Of course. How could I ever forget?" Kuriza said as he rolled his eyes.
"My lord." A soldier walked onto the scene and said.
"What is it?" Frieza asked.
"Our scouters picked up two large power levels decimating Planet Meat." The soldier explained.
"Planet Meat? How curious. I haven't ordered that planet to be invaded." Frieza said.
"You are correct sir. We believe rouges are taking the planet for themselves." The soldier explained.
"Rouges you say. Well now that simply won't do. Have Dodoria prepare his team. I want these rouges taken care of post haste." Frieza ordered.
"As you wish my lord." The soldier said.
"Oh, wait father please allow me to go." Kuriza said.
"Now son you know that the ground work is reserved for the grunts. Why would you want to dirty your hands?" Frieza asked.
"It has been a dreadfully long time since I had some fun. I fear my powers have gone a bit rusty and we can't have that, now can we?" Kuriza explained.
"Hmm….oh I just can't say no to you. Very well go and play, but atleast bring Dodoria's men with you." Frieza said.
"Thank you, father." Kuriza said before letting out a sinister chuckle as he walked away.
"Like father like son." Berryblue said.
"Hahahaha…..quite." Frieza agreed.
Back on Planet Vegeta
A woman was cutting meat on a table. Well she was trying to anyway. The cleaver she was using was getting a bit dull. Her armor was a standard black and brown only with no shoulder guards. Her pants were black, and her boots were white. Her hair was wild and spiky. Also, her stomach showed clear signs of pregnancy. Suddenly she dropped the blade and held her stomach.
"Oh boy. What the hell are you doing in there? You got one more month so be patient you little bastard." She said to the kicking baby inside her stomach as if it heard her.
"Okara are you ok?" A Saiyan woman rushed over and asked. She was just behind Okara cutting meat as well.
"I'm fine Gine. He's just kicking is all." Okara said.
"Ooh let me feel." Gine said.
"Sure, fine go head." Okara said.
Gine placed a hand on Okara's stomach and she immediately felt her baby kicking.
"Feels like he's already a fighter." Gine said.
"He better be. With all the kicking he does all the damn time I expect a high-power level too." Okara said.
"It's like he's having his own battle in there." Gine said.
"The little runt's already inching to fight someone hehe." Okara said. She then looked around at the many Saiyans who were filling their stomachs with food. She then spotted two familiar faces headed in her direction. Her face dropped when she laid her eyes on the one with no shoulder guards. "Well look who's back."
Gine turned around and saw who Okara was talking about. "Bardock!"
"Hey Gine." Bardock opened his arms and let Gine embrace him.
"What's up short stack." Dakon greeted. He then looked towards Okara who wouldn't stop starring daggers at him. He kept his calm and cool demeanor and walked over to her. "You aren't still mad at me, are you? DOUH!" Was all he could say after Okara punched him in the gut.
"That's for knocking me up before I could go on a mission you jerk!" Okara yelled.
Gine and Bardock were snickering in the background.
"Hey, come on it takes two to make one ya know! Plus, that wouldn't have happened if you didn't come onto me." Dakon argued.
"You're lucky I can't fight with this thing in my stomach otherwise I'd pound you some more." Okara threatened.
"Like you ever could!" Dakon retorted.
"Wanna bet?!" Okara questioned.
"Would you two just hug and kiss already?" Bardock asked.
"BUTT OUT!" They both yelled simultaneously at Bardock.
Bardock chuckled at them. Okara and Dakon argue often even though they were mates. She was in fact supposed to go on the same mission Dakon and Bardock were on some months ago. However, when Okara showed signs of pregnancy, she was kept from going. Okara decided to work with her long-time friend Gine as a meat cutter just to keep busy.
"The whole town sounds like a festival." Bardock said to Gine leaving Dakon and Okara to their bickering.
"Yeah It's because everyone's back." Gine said.
"Where's Radtiz?" Bardock asked.
"He and his team are combatants now. They're all on a mission with Vegeta. Nappa and his team are there too." Gine said.
"Vegeta and Nappa? That's gotta be a pain in the ass. How's Kakarot? Is he still in the nursing pod?" Bardock asked.
"Yeah, it's about time to get him out soon. He's in the back wanna see?" Gine asked.
"Sure. Hey Dakon, we're gonna go see our son." Bardock said.
"And another thi-Huh? Oh yeah tell Kakarot his Uncle Dakon said hi." Dakon said.
And with that Bardock and Gine left the two alone with each other.
Dakon let out a sigh before saying. "Ok look arguments aside how are you feeling?"
Okara crossed her arms and took a breath. "Fine, I guess. Just wish this baby would get out of me already."
"It shouldn't be too long now. You look about ready to give birth any moment." Dakon said.
"I got another month. I'll just have to tough it out. So how did the mission go?" Okara asked.
"We finished it before we were called back. The creatures had decent power levels, but nothing compared to me and Bardock." Dakon said.
"Hmph sure sounds like fun. Sure, wish I was there." Okara pouted.
"Eh get over it." Dakon ignored her grunt and placed a hand on her stomach. "So, boy or girl?"
"Why do you care?" Okara asked.
"it's my kid too isn't it?"
"Yeah but Saiyan men aren't usually concerned about their offspring." Okara said.
"You and I both know I'm not like most Saiyans." Dakon said.
"Got me there. It's a boy by the way." Okara said.
"Did you name him yet?" Dakon asked.
"Not yet, but since you're here why don't you do it?" Okara asked.
"Alright then hm….think I'll call him….Naga." Dakon said.
"Eh not bad I guess." Okara said.
"What you got a better name?" Dakon asked.
"No Naga is fine." Okara said.
Dakon chuckled at his mate. His smile soon faded. Dakon couldn't shake the feeling of dread in his heart. He had to tell her what he and Bardock figured out about Frieza.
"Okara we need to talk." Dakon said.
Gine and Bardock were looking at their son Kakarot as he slept in the nursing pod. He was a spitting image of his father.
"So small." Bardock said.
"Looks like he's a late bloomer. He looks just like you though. Especially with that hair." Gine said.
Bardock looked at his son. He knew what fate had in store for him, but he couldn't let it happen to Kakarot.
"Let's steal a pod tonight." Gine raised an eyebrow at the sudden statement. "Then we'll send him off to some planet."
"What are you joking?" Gine questioned.
Bardock looked at her. "I'm serious.
"Why would we do that?! He hasn't even learned to talk yet!" Gine said.
"With Kakarot's power level he'll probably be sent somewhere anyway. We might as well send him somewhere safe enough for him to grow." Bardock said.
"But why now? It's too early." Gine wanted to know.
"We may not have much time left." Bardock said.
"Not much time?"
"Freiza….he afraid. Afraid that a legendary Super Saiyan might appear. He's going to wipe us all out to make sure that doesn't happen." Bardock explained.
"That's just a fairy tale!" Gine said.
"Fairytale or not. Frieza is worried about it all the same. Me and Dakon already talked about it. As soon as him and Okara have their child we're gonna send it away too." Bardock said.
"What if you're wrong?" Gine asked.
"What if I'm not?"
Back with Dakon and Okara
"You can't be serious." Dakon just go done explaining to Okara what he and Bardock are planning. They were both at their house.
"I am." Dakon said.
"This all just sounds like paranoia to me." Okara said.
"So, you're not atleast a bit suspicious about how sudden we all had to return back home? ALL of us?" Dakon asked.
"Oh, course I am but-
Dakon interrupted her. "And on top of that Frieza hasn't said a word about why he ordered us back here in the first place. Instead he had his minions asked around about a legend. It's obvious what's going on. No Saiyan not even King Vegeta comes close to Frieza, but he's so full of himself that he won't allow even the slightest chance that one of us could defeat him."
"If what you're saying is true then why aren't we rallying the others? Can't we all take him out if we work together?" Okara asked.
"That's suicide. It won't matter if we band together or not. Besides no one will have the backbone to stand up to that bastard. It's not a fight we can win." Dakon said.
Okara sighed in defeat. "So, what do we do then?"
"Tonight, Bardock is going to steal a pod for Kakarot. I'm going to do the same and steal one for Naga. I'll hide it somewhere and when he is born, we'll send him to the same planet Kakarot is being sent to." Dakon explained.
"Getting the runts to safety I understand, but what about us?" Okara asked.
"Scouters will detect us leaving. We won't get far." Dakon said.
"So that it then? We're trapped?" Okara asked.
"If there is a way for us to escape without being tracked, we would've thought of it." Dakon said.
"Dakon…..I don't want anymore of us to die. Toma's gone, Rutaba was exiled and Hanasia probably died trying to look for him. I'm sick of watching my comrades disappear." Okara said.
"I'm tired of it too and I still wish I could kill King Vegeta for what he did to them and their daughter, but right now we need to worry about getting Kakarot off this planet and Naga when he's born." Dakon said.
"What if Naga isn't born in time? Frieza could destroy us right now." Okara said.
"If he wanted to kill every single Saiyan then he would have to wait. Not everyone is back yet." Dakon said.
"That bastard isn't going to be that patient and you know it. We must figure out how to escape too…. please." Okara said.
Dakon could see the fear in his mate's eyes. "I'm sorry Okara. As of now I don't see anyway we could get away without being unseen." Dakon said.
Okara dropped her head in defeat. She hated the fact that there was nothing she could do to save herself and her friends. Dakon looked depressed as well. If he could save her too then he would, but there was no way for him and all his friends to escape. They were trapped.
Later that night
Bardock, Gine, and Okara were making their way through a wasteland far away from where the town was. Bardock was carrying a pod on his shoulder and his son can be heard crying inside of it.
"I still find all of this hard to believe." Gine said.
"We wouldn't be going to these lengths if they didn't believe it." Okara said.
"Don't worry. If I really am just being paranoid, then we'll go and rescue him." Bardock said.
"Where's Dakon wasn't he with you?" Okara asked.
"He's still hiding the pod he stole. Should be here soon to see Kakarot off." Bardock said.
"Why are you going this far? It's unlike you to be so caring." Gine asked.
"I don't know. I guess after countless battles I have this urge to try and save something. Especially if it's my son." Bardock said.
Bardock thought they had traveled far out enough and sat down Kakarot's pod. The Saiyan child stopped crying after he laid eyes on his father.
"I programmed it for a far away planet called Earth. The race there is weak enough, so he should be fine. It's also not worth much so Frieza's army probably won't invade it." Bardock said.
"Hey guys!" Someone called out from a short distance.
The group recognized the familiar voice and turned to see Dakon flying onto the scene.
Dakon touched down next to everyone. "Good I'm not too late."
"Just on time actually." Bardock said.
Gine walked up to the pod and looked at her beloved son. "Don't worry we'll come and get you as soon as we can."
Okara walked up to talk to young Kakarot herself. "Hopefully your dad and uncle are just being paranoid."
Dakon kinda barged his way between them to talk to the son of Bardock. "Don't worry squirt you won't be alone. Naga will be right behind you as soon as Okara pops him out." That comment earned him a light bop on the head from his mate.
Bardock walked up to the pod and placed a hand on the glass. Kakarot did the same. "Survive no matter what it takes."
"Later runt." Okara said.
"See ya take care." Dakon said.
Gine struggled to hold back her tears. "I'll see you later."
"Goodbye son." Bardock said.
With that final farewell Kakarot's ship began to launch. Everyone took a step back as the pod flew higher into the sky leaving the planet. Gine lost her composure and began to cry. Bardock put an arm around his mate to comfort her. Dakon watched as Kakarot's ship leave planet Vegeta. He then looked to Okara and laid his eyes on her pregnant stomach. He took Okara's hand and held it. She looked at him as if she didn't expect that kind of softness from him. Yet it did make her smile.
"I'll think of a way to get you outta here even if it kills me." Dakon thought.
Three weeks later
Sometime has passed since Kakarot's departure from Planet Vegeta. Amazingly no one noticed his disappearance. Saiyans were still arriving from far away missions and more are currently on the way. Things were quiet. Frieza hasn't spoken a word on why he ordered the Saiyans to return. Even still no one was the least bit suspicious. Everyone except Dakon and his comrade were certain of Frieza's schemes.
Right now, Dakon was leading his friends to a location on the opposite side of the planet in the wasteland. It was the middle of the day and the sun was shining.
"Dakon what's this about?" Bardock asked.
"I think I got a way off this planet without being noticed." Dakon answered.
"Well spill it then." Okara demanded.
"Yeah you haven't said anything about it." Gine said.
"Relax will ya? I'll explain when we get there." Dakon said.
A short flight later Dakon lead them to a ship hidden behind some large rocks.
"Here we are." Dakon said.
"This is a ship for two people." Bardock said.
"There's enough room for more. There's also a nursing capsule for Naga when he's born in there. I managed to snag one." Dakon.
"I thought the plan was to wait until his birth. It hasn't even been a month yet." Okara said.
"Plans change." Dakon said.
"So, you figured out a way to escape without the scouters picking us up?" Bardock asked.
"I do. If Frieza's men are distracted long enough then you guys should be able to leave the system before they can track, you." Dakon explained.
"Distracted? Wait why did you say that like you're not leaving too?" Okara asked.
"…..because I'm not." Dakon said.
"What!" Bardock was shocked.
"I'm going to go and attack Frieza's ship myself. I can cause enough chaos for you all to slip away unnoticed." Dakon said.
"Are you crazy?! That's suicide!" Gine said.
"So is waiting here to die." Dakon said.
"Don't be stupid. You wont last two minutes up there taking on all of them." Okara said.
"Well then two minutes is should be enough time for you to get away." Dakon said.
"Dakon why in the hell would you want to sacrifice yourself?" Bardock asked.
"….heh heh I wish I knew. Maybe I've gone crazy. Maybe you and Gine rubbed off on me. Or maybe I've done so much bad in my life that I want to do something good. Toma always said we could be better remember?" Dakon said.
"Why does it have to be you?!" Okara asked.
Dakon chuckled. "Who else is crazy enough to try?" Dakon took off his bone necklace and put it in Okara's hand. "Pass this onto my son. Tell him about me."
"You…you…" Okara couldn't find any words.
"I'm not going to give you guys time to think about it because I plan on attacking riiight about…..now."
With those final words Dakon launched into the sky. The proud warrior knew he would die, but even still a confident smile never left his face.
"I really am outta my mind. Oh well. I'll take a few of those bastards with me though!" Dakon thought.
"DAKON NO!" Gine shouted.
"That damn idiot! No choice now get in the ship!" Bardock yelled.
"But what about-
"That fool sealed his fate! We have to go!" Bardock yelled.
Bardock opened the shuttle and got Gine and Okara in. He was about to get in himself, but he paused and looked up into the sky.
"Bardock?" Gine asked.
Bardock closed his eye and had the look of a man who is about to do something he is going to regret.
"…..Damnit."
Kuriza is just now entering his father's chamber. Zarbon and Didoria put their hands to their chest and gave a respectful bow.
"I'm back from my little hunt father." Kuriza said.
"So, you are. I assume you were successful." Frieza said.
"Very much so. Though I'm afraid dear Dodoria's team didn't make it. Those fighters proved more powerful than expected. Still heh nothing compared to yours truly." Kuriza explained.
"Oh, that is quite alright. Didoria can easily find replacement. Can't you Dodoria?" Frieza asked.
"Of course, Lord Frieza. They should be easy to replace." Dodoria said.
"Hm by the way son, who were they?" Frieza asked.
"That's the best part father. They were Sai-
Kuriza was interrupted by an alarm going off.
"What's going on?" Zarbon asked.
At that moment an underling came into the room. "My lord a Saiyan is attacking us!" He said.
"I'M COMING FOR YOU FRIEZAAAA!"
Dakon was very intent on picking a fight. Frieza force soldiers soon emerged from the ship and swarmed him. The veteran fighter blew right through the first wave of enemies with punches and kicks making it look like child's play. One minion was lucky enough to grab him from behind, but his grip wasn't tight enough. Dakon quickly shook him off and blasted his head off with a ki attack. He quickly turned around and broke an incoming soldier's neck with a round house kick. His fist ran right through the chest of another grunt. With his hand still inside, Bardock charged his hand full of energy and used it to blow an even bigger hole in the man.
"WHO ELSE WANTS SOME!" Dakon shouted as he tossed the dead minion aside.
As if on que another wave of Frieza force soldiers. Dakon ignited his aura and charged his hands with ki. He then unleashed a volley of blasts at the large swarm of minions. Some hit their mark but a handful of them dodged.
"Kill that damn ape!" One shouted.
Dakon was forced on the defensive and had to evade attacks left and right. Soon enough he was caught with hook to the face. That attack sent him flying backwards and another soldier kicked him. Another blasted him with a wrist mounted gun. Dakon unleashed his energy into an explosive wave to give himself some room. He was getting winded, but he had to keep fighting.
Dakon looked at yet another squad of men that had appeared. "Bring it on." He said as he clenched his fists.
The Frieza force soldiers accepted his challenge but before they do anything a large ki blast flew right pass Dakon and completely obliterated the group of minions in front of him. Dakon was shocked at what happened. He whipped around to see that it was his comrade Bardock. He wasn't wearing his headband.
"Bardock!?"
"What did you think I was going to let you go down with all the glory?"
"You fool you were supposed to escape!"
"Please with just you they would've killed you before we could warp out. At least this way our mates will have more time to escape."
"Ugh this was supposed to be my stupid plan."
"Well now it looks like it's our stupid plan."
"Hmph…..well might as well make this fun. First one to fifty wins."
"You're on!"
The two warriors charged at the incoming army of minions. Their only goal was to buy time. Bardock opened with a flying kick to the gut of one grunt and Dakon fired a ki blast at another.
"Keep them away from the ship!" A soldier cried.
Bardock was a whirlwind of destruction as he put down anyone that dared to attack him. He elbowed one grunt in the face shattering his helmet. The Saiyan warrior then brought his fists up and hammered down that soldier sending him barreling into another group of minions. After charging energy into both his hands, Bardock finished off that group of enemies with a powerful beam attack.
"That's ten already Dakon keep up!"
"You know I already killed dozens of them before you showed up right?"
Dakon caught the kick of a grunt and swung him around into other soldiers knocking them away. Another squad of men then shot at Dakon with blasters. He managed to deflect a few but some got through his defenses and chipped away at his armor. Bardock was starting to get overwhelmed himself as some grunts were able to get in some punches and kicks. Soon they were both completely restrained by Frieza force soldiers. Two large group managed to get a hold of each Saiyan and they held on for dear life.
"These guys are insane!" A grunt yelled.
Dakon and Bardock then ignited their auras and unleashed a powerful super explosive wave and obliterated everyone in the area. That attack took a lot out of both of them and they were running low on energy.
"Bet…you're…regretting this now." Dakon said between heavy breathes.
"You…have…no…damn…idea." Bardock said in between his own heavy breathes.
Their struggle seemed meaningless as, yet another wave of enemies surrounded them. All of them were grinning and chuckling at the fact the two resilient warriors looked bruised and beaten. Suddenly a noise coming from Frieza's ship made all the soldiers look towards it. Everyone's face dropped when the merciless dictator emerged from the ship in his floating throne. He had a displeased look on his face and was starring daggers at the two Saiyans that dared to attack his army.
"L…Lord Frieza." A minion trembled as he spoke his name.
Bardock and Dakon starred daggers right back at him. Knowing full well that his very presence radiates death they stood there unwavering.
"Well Frieza? Make a move!" Dakon taunted.
Frieza twitched an eye at his arrogance. He then smirked as he casually lifted his finger. A tiny sphere of energy formed just above the tip of his finger. It slowly grew larger and Frieza's grin increased the larger it got.
"HeheheheheHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Frieza laugh as his enormous death ball had finished forming.
"…well you asked for it." Bardock said.
"Eh we were already doomed. Might as well go down fighting, right?" Dakon said with a smile as he formed a red sphere of energy in his right hand.
"Tch….right." Bardock agreed as he charged a blue ball of energy.
"Goodbye monkeys." Frieza said as he lightly flicked his finger launching his death ball right at Planet Vegeta. Not at all concerned with the lives of his underlings as they themselves will surly be caught in the blast.
"rrrrRRRYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The two proud warriors roared as they both fired their combined attack at Frieza's death ball.
They tried their hardest to push back the hulking ball of energy, but it was a futile effort. There was nothing they could do when they were both engulfed by the tyrannical overlord's attack. Their deaths were swift as their bodies were quickly vaporized. Soon Frieza death ball impacted on Vegeta and a fiery explosion soon followed.
"HAHAHAHAHA how invigorating!" Frieza laughed as the sight of such destruction amused him. Especially if he was the one that caused it.
Somewhere else nearby in another ship
Several figures watch Frieza destroy Planet Vegeta on a few large screens.
"Looks like that's the end of that." One man said.
"I'll admit those two put on quite the show." Another said.
"There goes the whole neighborhood heh heh heh."
"Wait what's that? Agh one of the ships are escaping! Magnify the image on that spacecraft. Bring up an interior view while you're at it."
"Right." The man typed on a computer and brought up an image of who was trying to escape the Planet's destruction on the large screen.
The screen showed two female Saiyans. They both looked very upset. No doubt mourning the loss of their home.
"Do those monkey's really think they can get away?"
"Looks like they're on course to a planet called Earth. Shall we intercept?"
"Yes and be quick about it."
"Cancel that order." A new voice rang from above.
A being similar to Frieza revealed himself as he floated down from a hovering throne.
"Lord Cooler!"
The man quickly kneeled down in respect and the other soldiers in the room did the same.
"Are we letting them go?"
"Last time I check I wasn't in charge of the monkeys. They are of no concern to me." Cooler watched his little brother reveling in the chaos of Planet Vegeta on the large monitor. "Look at him. So self-absorbed and arrogant. That little pest truly believes its impressive that he eradicated a planet full of simian garbage. Why father deemed him worthy to rule the galaxy is beyond me. Oh, how easy it would be for me to dispose of him and claim the throne for my own.
"If I may ask Lord Cooler."
"You may."
"You are much more powerful than your brother. Why do you tolerate him?"
"Simple. I wish to see him fail. I want to watch his empire burn to the ground as I know it will. Only then will I get to rub it in my father's nose when he realizes that it was I who should be next in line to the throne all along. That is a day worth waiting for. I do not care how long it takes." Cooler had seen enough of his younger brother for the mere sight of him left a sickening feeling in his stomach. "Hmph lets get out of here."
On a faraway planet
"WHAT?" A Saiyan off on a distant planet had received a message on his scouter.
"What is it?" Nappa asked.
"I just received word that a meteorite collided with Planet Vegeta….its…its gone!"
"What are you serious?!"
"So as of now the Saiyan race is mostly extinct?" Another Saiyan asked.
"Huh you here that guys? Looks like Vegeta made the right call on ignoring the order." Rycelo said.
"Hmph looks like I'll never be King Vegeta." Prince Vegeta said.
"My Prince didn't you have a brother?" Turles asked.
"Tarble? Who cares?" Vegeta said before taking a bite of a fruit he was holding.
"Raditz what about your brother Kakarot?" One of Nappa's teammates asked.
"Hmph he was sized up as a low class warrior, so he was still in a incubation capsule back home. Hm actually mom did message me that they sent him away in a space pod. It's whatever I guess."
"Bummer we don't have a home to go back to now…..oh well." Turles said shrugging his shoulders.
In the middle of space
Gine and Okara had successfully escape Planet Vegeta's destruction safely. Still both felt so defeated. Both of their mates gave up their lives so that they could have a small chance to flee before they could perish. Okara kept her composure as she flew the ship, but Gine let her tears fall of her face as she held Bardock's bandana close to her chest.
"I can't believe they're gone." Gine said.
"Well believe it. Nothing we can do about it now." Okara said.
"How can you say that like it's nothing?"
"I'll be sad about it later. Right now, we need to get to earth, find Kakarot, and lay low."
"Are you even sure they haven't spotted us leaving?"
"If they did then we wouldn't have gotten this far. Now let just focus on…..Oh god." Okara started to feel immense pain as she held onto her stomach. "Oooohhh man this isn't good. Really Naga? NOW!?"
"What's wrong?"
"Oh no need to panic or anything but…my water just broke."
And so Okara and Gine managed to escape the fate of their planet and are now on their way to earth. It looks like there will also be a third passenger on that ship.
Ok first off let me say that I'm sorry for making a completely different story from what I already uploaded in the past. I think I sent PMs so some followers already giving them a heads up that I'm redoing this story. I just feel that what I have planned out now will be way better than what I had before. Now let me explain what Dragon Ball Ultra is going to be. It will be a mixture of all the aspects of the franchise. The movie, manga's, anime, Super, games, and maybe even GT. I have BIG plans for canon and non-canon characters alike. I hope everyone will enjoy the adventures soon to come. See ya later.
