Chapter 10
2 years later
Kabocha is sitting next to a tree with his head in his hands, over the past five years he has slowly evolved into the other soul within him. Even looks wise he has come to resemble Bardock in every way. "Am I doomed to be taken over by this saiyan that died before I was even born", he sighed what bothered him the most is that his relationship with Letaice had evolved into something more than infatuation. He was in love with her, but every time he looked at her memories from Bardock would come to him. Memories of a beautiful saiyan woman that Letaice resembled. Then he would think about who Letaice's father had been. "Urr!", when you got down to it Letaice was Bardock's grand-daughter. Letaice came out of the house carrying various foods for lunch they were expecting Onia and Daikon who had surprisingly hit it off and often went off to train together. Letaice looked over at Kabocha she hated to see him like this he had told her about the reincarnated soul within him and who it was but other than that he hadn't spoke to her about it. She knew it made him feel awkward to be around her, but they always ended up alone together some how. So she had started staying away from him just to give his brain a rest. She knew one thing though she was madly in love with him, she had been taught that love wasn't something needed when your saiyan. But she had always thought it couldn't hurt considering that once a saiyan couple mates it's for life. Seeing him like that on the verge of a breakdown she couldn't help her self. She walked over and sat next to him it took him a minute to notice she was there. "Do you wanna talk about it Kabocha?", she said looking up at the sky, he looked over at her, he had often given her a cold shoulder but today he decided that today he would show her. "Letaice, did you know much about your father?", he asked She made a look like she was deep in thought. "No my mother only knew his name, she had just become a breeder so they put her with the lowest level saiyan they could find". "Well what was his name?", he said, "Umm.. it was Raditz but what does that have to do with you". He sighed he hated to have to tell her this but he had to get it off of his chest. "Remember I told you about the other soul within me", she nodded that was something that she couldn't forget. Kabocha continued, "Well Bardock had two sons, one named Kakarot and one named Raditz", he paused to let the information sink in. When it did Letaice put her hands on her hand and gasped, "But that would mean, that Bardock was my.. my.. grandfather", she got quiet now she understood Kabocha's new behavior towards her. She then shot a glance up at him, "But your still Kabocha as well, you've been Kabocha lounger than Bardock". He shook his head, "Do you trust me Letaice?", he looked her in the eyes , she smiled and nodded. "I'm gonna show you some of the memories that I have, will you let me do that?", Letaice nodded again, he then took two finger and touched her forehead. ::flashback:: Letaice looked around it was like she had been transported into the memory she could move around but no one seemed to notice her. She turned a corner and she was in a medical lab with lots of regeneration tanks. At the far end she saw a saiyan in one, she walked up the tank and was shocked, "Kabocha?", she said touching her hand to the glass. A medical technician checked the reading coming from Kabocha's tank, "No not Kabocha's Barodock's this was Bardock. "Well it about time looks like he's back to full power", said the younger technician, the older man came checked it out as well. "I think your right go ahead and drain the tank", the younger man pushed a sequence of buttons on a computer panel. Bardock began to step out of the tank it's at this point that Letaice starts to blush and turns away as Bardock gets dressed. The older man looks at the saiyan warrior, "Welcome back Bardock I hope you feeling ship shape now". "Yeah, Yeah I'm fine listen where is my team?". The old man gave an awkward look, "They've already sent them out on another mission", Bardock turned back to him with a concerned look, "You mean they were sent out without me?", the old man nodded his head, "I'm afraid so Bardock". After he finished dressing Letaice looked back. "Well Bardock, I was wondering if you wanted to stop by the nursery and see your new son?", Bardock huffed, "Whats the point we all know that he's gonna be shot off to some random planet because he's not strong enough". The old man got a frustrated look on his face he had known Bardock for some time, "You ignored Raditz as well and you didn't get a chance to see him perhaps you should take the opportunity before you lose it". The old man turned back to his paper work and Letaice followed Bardock out of the medical bay. At first it looked like he was going to head to the launch bay but then he stopped and sighed. He turned back towards the medical wing and then stopped at the nursery. Letaice stood next to him as he looked in at the many saiyan babies there. She saw him Kakarot, her uncle Goku. He was crying loudly, Bardock got sad look on his face as turned his scouter on the baby, "Five...", he turned of the scouter and walked away. "Wait!", yelled Lataice he's more powerful than that I swear. He will become a great warrior come back!", she continued to follow him he turned a corner and it looked like he was heading to the living quarters. He came to a door and pushed and intercom, "Hey, its me", he said, "Come in", said a female voice a voice that sounded oddly familiar to Letaice. The door opened and Bardock walked in he was soon tackled at the door by a young saiyan woman, "Bardock!", she threw her arms around his neck he smiled and nuzzled her neck. Letaice stood there is shock this woman had to be her grandmother because Letaice looked just like her. "So did you go see him Bardock?", she asked with a smile Bardock cliched his fists, "Yes", he said she sat down on the side of her bed. "Isn't he just gorgeous he looks just like you", she said, this is when Letaice noticed something. Letaice's mother had often wondered were Letaice had gotten her odd personality,she didn't act like a saiyan woman should. Now she knew her grandmother had the same personality, her uncle Goku must have inherited it as well. Bardock banged his fist on a table, "That doesn't matter the gonna ship him off just like they did Raditz", the woman put her hand on his shoulder. She had a sad look on her face but she still tried to smile, "I know but what matters is that we know that our son will be out there some where that's just the way it is", she put her arms around his waist, "They will always be our sons no matter what". He turned to her and kissed her passionately, "I have to go again they sent my team out with out me", he embraced her, "I love you", he said and walked out the door. Letaice followed but then there was a flash of sporadic memories, one of Bardock's team dead, another with him being ridiculed by other saiyan's saying he was crazy when he suggested that Frieza was going to destroy the planet. Then there was a flash back to the saiyan ship this was not his memory but some how Bardock saw it. Letaice saw the young woman from before talking to the old medical technician. "Please I'm begging you just let me hold him once before you ship him", she pleaded with the old man. He sighed, "I could be demoted for this but here", he picked up Goku and put him in her arms. She smiled and had tears in her eyes, she gently hugged the baby to her chest "I know you can't understand me my dearest Kakarot but I want you to know that no matter what happens that you had a mother and father that cared for you deeply". The old man smiles at her he had never seen a female saiyan do this before, "I'm sorry my dear its time to let him go"he said putting his hand on her shoulder, she handed her baby to the man, "Thank you", then she turned and walked out the door. Tears welled up in Letaice's eyes she felt so sorry for her grandmother. There was another flash and she was now looking on in horror as Frieza killed her grandfather and destroyed the planet along with most of the saiyans on it.::End of flash back:: When she came out of the memories, she knelled on the ground and sobbed into her hands. Kabocha felt his heart break with each of her sobs, he then knelled next to her and put his arms around her, "I'm so sorry forgive me I didn't know how it would affect you", he said pleadingly. He caressed her back and nuzzled her neck, "God her scent is so intoxicating", he said to himself, she began to settle and then she looked up at him. "I want you to know that even with all that you've just showed me I still love you", she said with a sad smile. He got a surprised look, "But..."she stopped him by putting her finger to his lips, "I don't care, who you were I care about who you are now and that's Kabocha not Bardock, all of those experiences are not yours there his". With this he put his hand under her chin and kissed her. Onia and Daikon were flying back to camp, much to Onia suprise when Daikon is just with her he is totally diferent he's not as stupid as he makes everyone think he is. "Hey Onia, I have bad feeling like the shits about to hit the fan around here", Onia sighed, "I know what you mean". They land at camp just Kabocha kisses Letaice, "What the hell!", say Daikon, Onia chuckles. "Are we interrupting somthing", Daikon turns to Onia, "Maybe we should give them some more alone time". "Ahhh! Damnit Daikon you are so dead!", Kabocha jumps up and stomps towards him. Onia starts to laugh, "And what are laughing at!", he yells at Onia, "Need I remind you both that I am still the highest ranking officer on this planet maybe I should remind...". He stops in mid sentence they all feel a powerful energy, "Oh shit!", says Daikon.
Giyru is at the Son house helping Chi Chi wash dishes, humming to himself. All of a sudden he drops the dish he is washing, "We're fucked!", he starts running around the kitchen frantically "Danger, danger, danger!". Chi Chi looks at him confused, "What is wrong with you you crazy robot!", she yells, he grabs Chi Chi by the shoulders, "What the hell do you guys not understand about Danger!". "Pan! Your robot is going nuts again!", yells Chi Chi up the stairs. Pan and Trunks come running down the stairs "Aw man I thought we fixed that", said Trunks, "Well it looks like some of the other personality got left behind", Pan sighs. "Dammit woman stop pandering to your boyfriend!", yells Giyru, Pan shakes her head, "What is the problem Giyru!", she yells at the frantic robot, he turns over and opens up the radar screen on his back a large object is taking up half of the screen. Pan's eyes go wide "Trunks you better see this".
