Episode 8:
And So It Begins
At the lookout, Kami gasped.
"What is it, Kami?" Mr. Popo asked.
"A huge power level at the check in station! It's got to be him!" Kami then teleported to the station, only to find Bardock, "Goku?! Is that REALLY you?!"
"Huh? N-no..." Bardock said.
"Then who are you? And why are you here?"
"My name is Bardock. I don't know how I got here...I just poofed here..."
"Pleased to meet you, Bardock, but I mean why are you here if you're alive?" Kami said kindly.
"I'm not-" Bardock began, looked up, and then exclaimed; "WHAT THE HECK?!"
"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you..." King Yemma said, while doing his paper work, "Your friends wished you back so you could help Goku fight the Saiyans."
"They what?!" Bardock then smirked, "I guess I need to thank them..."
"How could they have wished this man back to life? The Earth's dragon balls were used only seconds ago by Goku's friends!"
"There is a set on your home planet of Namek, Kami." Yemma explained.
"I'm...from Namek...?"
"Yes." Yemma nodded, not looking up.
"Thank you, Great King Yemma. I now know where I am from..." Kami said, bowing his head politely, "Tell me this, Bardock..."
"Yeah?"
"It appears that you know Goku...just how is that?"
"Well, I'm his father." Bardock shrugged, "I've been watchin over him all this time as a spirit."
"I see..." Kami said, "So, are you going to help defeat the Saiyans? They should be arriving shortly on Earth."
"Hm..." Bardock thought, "I could...but I'd have to find a way to..."
"To what?"
"Kami, it's like this. Before I died, I had these strange visions of the future. One of the visions was of Kakarot defeating this evil guy named Frieza, the same guy who destroyed our planet. I don't want to alter that future. So I need to stay out of his sight."
"Just why is that?"
"If he were to see me, and find out about Frieza too early, he might rush to kill him head-on, before he is strong enough to beat him. I don't want my son to be killed by the same person I was killed by. Do you see my point here?"
"Yes, I do." Kami then chuckled softly, "But riddle me this; how will you know when the time is right to reveal yourself?"
"I will know when the time is right."
"I see...you really aren't like the two Saiyans on their way to Earth, are you?"
"No...those two are the way they are because of Frieza...he's such a plague..."
"The way you talk about this Frieza person, it sounds like he deserves a good beating."
"Yeah. And I should be proud. My son will be the one to do it." Bardock said, "Then again, he's already done things I'm proud of him for."
"Yes, your son is quite the good person. You have reason to be proud." Kami then changed the subject, "I have a plan for how you can stay out of your son's sight."
"You do?"
"Fight with the others until he gets there." Kami suggested.
"Good idea. Besides, Vegeta and Nappa don't stand a CHANCE against me!" Bardock bragged, "I was stronger than them when I was alive the first time! And after taking Frieza's attack head-on like that..."
"What do you mean?"
"Saiyans get stronger after every battle. The worse the damage, the stronger they become." Bardock explained.
"Oh...Well, let's go." Kami said, "Put your hand on my shoulder."
"Right." Bardock nodded and did so.
"Kami! You're back! Hello Go-" Mr. Popo started, "You're not-"
"No. He is his father." Kami smiled.
"What?! Well, today is full of surprises, isn't it, Kami?" Popo exclaimed.
"Indeed. And maybe with this extra help, the future might not turn out so ugly for Piccolo and me."
"You think so?!" Popo said, a tear of joy coming to his eye.
"Possibly. Now, Bardock, go. The other Saiyans have already landed."
"Right. Wish me luck. Not that I'll need it." Bardock said, running of the tower and flying to where he could sense the others.(Bardock went through the same training as Goku, so he can sense power levels)
"What the-GOKU?!" Korin exclaimed, seeing the Saiyan whiz past.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Yamcha and Chiaotzu have given their lives to defend the Earth. But the battle is not over...
"Now, who wants to die next?!" The large Saiyan Nappa asked. Gohan was shaking in his boots, while Tien stood in awe, amazed at what Chiaotzu had just done, and Piccolo and Krillin stood firm, waiting for the Saiyan's next move.
"What? No volunteers? Fine! I'll just pick one!" Nappa smirked evilly.
"Oh no you won't!" Tien yelled, and attacked Nappa. Nappa quickly saw this coming, and chopped Tien's hand off! Tien fell to the ground in pain, yelling at the top of his lungs.
"He's been unarmed." joked the sinister Vegeta.
"Heheh." Nappa said, punching Tien so hard in the gut that he flew up into the air, and crashed onto some rocks, then fell to the ground. Nappa assumed him dead, and turned to the remaining fighters.
"P-Piccol-lo..I-I'm scared..." Gohan whimpered.
"Don't be Gohan. You're ready for this." Piccolo whispered to his young friend.
"Yeah, Gohan. This guy's just a big bully." Krillin said. Nappa then was about to punch Gohan, when there was a sudden flash of light!
"What the-G-GOKU?!" Piccolo exclaimed, "No! YOU'RE NOT GOKU!! THERE'S ONE MORE THAN WE THOUGHT!!" Piccolo then prepared to attack.
"Hold up for a sec! I'm on your side!!" Bardock exclaimed.
"D-daddy...?" Gohan asked, then realized it wasn't him, "Just who are you?!"
"Well, kid, I'll put it this way...I'm a secret."
"A...secret...?" Krillin asked.
"Yes. None of you are to tell Kaka-I mean Goku-that I was here."
"And just why is that?" Krillin asked, not dropping his guard from this stranger.
"Reasons that I can't explain right now."
"Okay, Mr. Secret! Will you help us?" Gohan asked.
"That's why I'm here." Bardock said, smiling to his young grandson. He then turned to Nappa, "You have no shame, do ya, Nappa? Picking on a little kid..."
"Just who are you?!" Nappa growled.
"B-Bardock...?" Vegeta asked, "But...you should be dead!"
"Bardock?" everyone asked.
"What
part of secret don't you get?!" Bardock barked at the Prince.
"You
should join us."
"Oh please!" Bardock rolled his eyes, "Like I would wanna work for that maniac Frieza!!"
"How DARE you talk about Lord Frieza that way!" Nappa yelled, prepared to attack Bardock.
"Nappa! Control yourself!" Vegeta ordered.
"Look, are we gonna fight or not?" Bardock asked. Nappa gave Vegeta a look that said, "please let me fight this ignorant traitor!"
"Go ahead, Nappa. He should be easy to beat." Vegeta granted. Nappa tried to punch Bardock, but the good Saiyan managed to dodge, and not only that, but he kneed Nappa in the back. Nappa almost fell onto Gohan, but Bardock grabbed him and threw him into a rock.
"Nappa...what is your power level?" Bardock asked.
"Why does it matter?! I'm much stronger than you could ever be!!" Nappa barked, standing up.
"Oh really? Let's compare, shall we?"
"It's 7,454! Happy now?!"
"HA!!" Bardock began to laugh, "My power level a looooooooooooooong time ago was 10,000! YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE!!" And here I was slightly worried! Ha!"
"YOU SHUT UP!!" Nappa demanded.
"Ten...thousand?!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"Whoa...glad he's on our side!!" Krillin said.
"Yeah..." Gohan agreed.
"I think I understand..." Piccolo murmured.
"Huh?" Krillin asked.
"He must be...Goku's father!!"
"What?!" Krillin and Gohan exclaimed.
"Doesn't it make sense? I mean...look at him. He's a Saiyan, and he looks JUST like Goku." Piccolo explained.
"You have a point. But that Raditz guy said all the Saiyans were pretty much dead, especially their parents. So how do you explain this guy being alive?" Krillin said.
"I don't know! Geez! I'm not all-knowing!" Piccolo argued.
I know. Kami said to Piccolo telepathically.
"Oh, yeah, old geezer? How?" Piccolo said in a smart alic-y tone.
His friends wished him back using a set of dragon balls on another planet. Our home planet, Namek.
"So there are dragon balls there?!" Piccolo asked loudly enough for Vegeta to hear.
The dragon balls of Namek! So...the rumors are true...Vegeta thought.
Yes. That is all I will say for now. You need to focus on your battle.
"What battle?" Piccolo scoffed, "This guy has everything taken care of!"
Meanwhile, Goku finally made it to where he could see the check-in station.
"There it is!"
"Kami, what is it?"
"I feel Goku! This time I'm sure!" he said, then went to retrieve the Earth's greatest hero.
"Kami?" Goku asked, looking around.
"I'm here! Grab my hand!"
"Right!" Goku said, and did so.
"Go! Defeat the Saiyans!" Kami encouraged the youth.
"I'll do my best!" Goku said, rushing off, "Hey, Korin?"
"What?! GOKU AGAIN?!" Korin asked, "What is it?"
"Gimme some senzu beans!" he ignored the comment before.
"Right! These are my last 2, Goku! Give em HFIL!" Korin said, tossing Goku 2 beans.
"I will! Thanks!" Goku smiled, then flew off towards the battlefield.
Nappa was in big trouble. He was being beat to a pulp by Bardock. So, he took a desperate move. He blasted at Gohan!!
"Oh no! GOHAN! LOOK OUT!!" Bardock yelled.
"Huh? AHH!" Gohan exclaimed, frozen in fear of the blast heading toward him.
"No! GOHAN!" Piccolo exclaimed. In a moment, he ran in front of Gohan, defending him with his life.
"No! Mister Piccolo!" Gohan cried, rushing to his friend's side.
"Don't worry, Gohan. It fells good...knowing that...I helped my only true friend..." Piccolo said as he faded away, a tear coming out of his eye.
"Piccolo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Gohan shouted, the kicked Nappa in the side of the head, sending him flying through a mountain! He blasted the bulky Saiyan with a Masenko, and then followed up with a series of quick, yet strong, punches and kicks to the stomach, "HOW DARE YOU!"
"Whoa!" Krillin exclaimed.
Gohan sure has gotten powerful in a year's time! Bardock thought.
"Ah! Kami! What's going on?!" Popo asked.
"Piccolo! He's dying! And I am fading with him!"
"Noooo! KAMIIIIIIIIIIII!"
"Listen fast, my friend. There is a set of dragon balls on the planet Namek. Use them to wish us back!" Kami said, then faded from existence.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Popo cried.
