The Legend of Bardock
The Split Decision
So, I am trying to go through all my chapters and correct all of their spelling and grammar mistakes. I will also be changing some formatting in the story. Often times when a character is thinking, their thoughts will be in Italics, it is NOT and A/N. As always, I hope you enjoy, and continue reviewing for me please! I have deleted every chapter I have written thus far off the website until I get through editing them. SO don't freak out if you see there's only a couple chapters out right now. I don't think it'll take me too terribly long. After I'm done editing, I'm going to update my Valkyria Chronicles story, then write up chapter 23 for this. And that's all that's happening. Enjoy.
"Fools! You're dead... You're all DEAD!" Bardock shouted, fed up with his fellow saiyans laughing at him.
"He's… He's on his way." Bardock said, feebly.
"So what, Bardock gets his tail whipped and it's the end of the world for us?" All the saiyans laughed.
"Fine, don't believe me, but I'm going to stop him."
Bardock ran out of the room and up the stairs, as fast he as he could. It was all he could manage after being wounded so badly by Dodoria.
"Curse that fat pink freak, and Frieza too!" was all Bardock could think as he ran on in silent agony. He stopped to breathe, panting and bent over from exhaustion. Then he started in confusion. "What? This isn't Vegeta, everything's green… Where am I?"
"Bardock" A disembodied voice called softly.
Bardock lifted his head. "What? Who's calling me? Show yourself!" He called out. "This must be another vision!" Bardock thought.
These visions. Why do they come at the worst of times?
"Come out!" Bardock shouted, "I know you're here!"
"Bardock!" The voice shouted again, louder this time.
Bardock turned around. A man who looked just like him was standing there, facing away from him. "You know who I am, don't you Bardock," he said.
"Yes…You're my son" Bardock said, in a voice barely more than a whisper.
"It's not too late father. To be different, from him." Bardock's son said. An image of Frieza jumped into Bardock's mind. All of the sudden, Bardock felt as though he were exploding, and then he was back on Planet Vegeta.
"Whoa, that… felt so real."
"Frieza!" Bardock exclaimed. "I have to stop him!"
He continued running up the stairs. He finally made it to the top of the building. Bardock started panting again. "I can't just sit here and do nothing!" He resolved. He gathered his strength to fly upwards. Then a shining burst of light engulfed him. "AAAGGGGHHHH" Bardock screamed. He heard the Kanassians dreaded voice again.
"I have given you this gift, so you may know the terror of foreseeing the doom of your race. Now you will know the terror that we felt."
"NO!" Bardock screamed. "This can't happen, it just can't. I… I'm too weak. I'm too weak. But no one will believe me. If I can't even take Dodoria, how can I even hope to take on Frieza, or even Zarbon, especially as wounded as I am?"
Bardock's mind was racing. What should he do? The way he saw it, the destruction of Planet Vegeta was inevitable, no matter how much he did not want to face it.
"Come on… I can feel it, he's getting closer."
There was no time to tell the king. Wait! Both of his sons were off the planet. As he recalled, Raditz was on a mission, and Kakarot had left mere moments ago."He thought joyfully. At the very least, my sons will both survive.
He started to slowly hover as fast as he could towards where his pod had landed. He just wished that there was someone else he could tell who would believe him, but no one would. He decided to just tell anyone he saw on the way there. He saw a saiyan below him who he recognized as one of the nobility- a first class.
"Paragus!" Bardock yelled as loud as he could. "You need to leave, now! Frieza is going to destroy the planet!"
Paragus looked bored, as he spit on the ground in disgust. "What's wrong with you low-class? Get out of my sight." He commanded, as though offended.
Bardock sighed. "It's your funeral, I give this planet 10 minutes, and then we'll all die!"
Paragus just walked away, looking troubled and sad. Bardock flew onwards. As he neared his ship, he saw someone getting ready to move it.
"Stop, keep that pod where it is!" Bardock yelled. As he drew closer, the saiyan saw that it was the kind soldier who greeted him when he arrived. "Wait what? Kind? Since when do I say that someone is kind? Hmph." Bardock shrugged. He dropped to the ground, and the soldier, came up to him.
"Sir! You need to be healed! Come this way. Don't even think of going back out in that pod, it is covered with your blo-"
"Please, leave this planet right now." Bardock interupted, hoping to help at least save someone. None of his own race would listen too him.
"What, why? I would get in terrible troub-"
"Don't question your superiors, soldier!" Bardock cut him off again. The soldier looked genuinely scared. "At this point, the planet is going to blow in about 7 minutes! It's Frieza… Frieza is going to blow up Planet Vegeta!"
The soldier looked at him. He knew that he was much weaker than the saiyan, he was from a race called the Rojians, and they were regarded as little more than trash, but Frieza still used them as servants and attendants. The soldier knew he had no real option, as he was afraid of being blown to bits by an angry saiyan.
"O...Okay."
Not like I have a choice
"Come with me," he continued, "I'll get you a new pod, it won't even take a minute."
"Good, we don't have much time."
"Yes, ah, right over here Mr…"
"Bardock."
"Okay Mr. Bardock. Oh, uhhh, where do we go?" Bardock thought, but then it hit him. "We are going to Kanassa, Frieza planet 419. Do you know where it is?"
The soldier nodded, "Yes, the coordinates were already in your pod that you came back in, so I can simply set the coordinates to that."
"Good." Bardock said, finally calmer. Then, he had a wave of fear that gripped his heart like the hand of a chilled corpse. "Soldier, go on ahead."
"But-"
"RIGHT NOW!"
"Yes sir, yes sir."
The soldier got in his pod and took off.
Bardock knew it would happen soon.
Very soon
.
He had somehow gotten a boost of speed. He knew though, that it was because he was driven by fear. The fear that he would lose his sons forever.
And when did I even start caring?
He finally got to his destination, after what seemed like eons to him. He figured he had 2 minutes left till the destruction of Vegeta. "Malaka! Plantharr!" He shouted, rushing into the medical bay. "I need to know where my sons are, and where they will be in the future, as far the Planet Trade Organization has input into the system!"
Plantharr answered, "Yes sir, right away." He too was from an alien race, the Loriminians, who were from the same system as the Rojians. They were known for their immense mental capacity, making them soe of the most reknowned inventors and doctors of the galaxy. First he printed off Raditz's information, then Kakarot's.
"Here you go sir."
Bardock finally smiled, for the first time that day.
"Thank you. And leave the planet immediately." Bardock then sprinted off, not telling anymore details. He did not have the time.
Malaka looked at Plantharr in confusion. "Hmph, crazy saiyan." Malaka grunted.
Plantharr, however, looked genuinely worried, because he could tell there was urgency, and most important of all, truth in the saiyan's words. Plantharr ran out of the room, to an emergency pod.
Malaka just shrugged. "Why's he getting so riled up over nothing?" And went back to work.
Plantharr ran down the hallway, as fast as he could for how old he was, till he got to where an emergency escape pod was. He looked at it, and thought about where to go. "Oh, I should just input the latest coordinates in the system, which would be Bardock's pod."
I suppose there's no time to figure out a better place...
He climbed in, and took off.
Bardock was flying toward the hangar where his ship was stored. At least the soldier had already input the coordinates, he thought to himself. Then he saw it, an orange and golden sphere coming down toward the planet. He saw his space pod at virtually the same time. He knew it was do or die now. He reached his pod just as the ball hit the surface of his home planet. The whole planet felt like it was coming apart, and crumbling. He climbed in, and closed the door.
"Come on, come on!" he yelled, "LET'S GOOOooooo…" his voice faded out as the pod took off. "Whew..." He let out a breath. When he had traveled a good distance away, he reached for a control to stop the pod, and turned it around.

Malaka was sitting in his lab, waiting. "Waiting for what?" He told himself. The planet wasn't going to blow up. "Bardock was just insane, probably went crazy when he lost his crew." He told himself, trying to convince himself that he was right. A voice sounded from behind him.
"Malaka, you idiot, stop talking to yourself and tell me where my son is."
Malaka turned around. "Oh, Paragus, I thought you would come."
"No sh*t. Just shut up and tell me where Broly is."
"The king's guard is…well, they said are coming in two minutes. They called to tell me to have him ready, and I was just about to…"
Paragus gathered ki in his hand. "If you want to live, I suggest, strongly I might add, you give my son to me IMMEDIATELY!"
Malaka was terrified; it was all he could do to stop himself from crying in fear. "Yes sir, I…I'll get him."
He went with Paragus to Broly's incubator, and took him out. Just when he handed him to Paragus, the ground started shaking. Everything in the lab was breaking and shattering.
Paragus shouted "What! What is this?"
Malaka passed out from fright.
Then Paragus noticed Broly surrounded in a golden glow. "What the! This is madness, all of it!" He noticed he was surrounded in the same golden glow as Broly. "What! H..." And that was the last Paragus ever saw of Planet Vegeta.

As Bardock turned around, he could see Frieza's space ship, and he saw his planet. He knew it would happen.
I knew. Why couldn't I stop it? Why couldn't I be stronger? I should have been able to do something. Why? Why? This can't happen, it just can't.
But sadly, it was. Bardock watched as his home planet gave off a sickeningly beautiful glow, the last Bardock would ever see of his home planet. And then all at onceit looked as though the universe had exploded, right in front of Bardock. For all his travelling, it was the only home he had ever known. Space seemed to be bright with glory at that moment, but for Bardock, it could not have been a darker moment. He could see rock and rubble flying around, all that remained of everything he treasured. Slowly and solemnly, he turned his pod around, and started toward his destination, Kanassa. At least he knew no one would come to Kanassa for a while, since it had just been conquered the other day.
Bardock silently swore to himself. He swore that day that no matter what, he would find Frieza, and he would destroy Frieza, for all the monstrous things he had ever done. Slaughtering his people would not go without repercussions. The pod turned on the sleep gas, and he entered into a stasis…
First chapter. Done. Feel free to comment with any mistakes I made and I will get on it. Thanks for reading.
