During the flight to Namek Bardocks thoughts always slipped back to Gine and Tora. But he never showed anything in front of his son.
While Bardock and Kakarotto had brakes from training, Bardock always seemed to look out the window and into space. Kakarotto started noticing it and asked his father, "Pa, why are you always looking outside the window? There's just space." He simply smiled at his son and said, "I'm just thinking about some things, it's nothing to worry about" "What kind of things are you thinking about" Bardock only sighed and told him, "Well, I'm thinking about our planet, our race, and my friends. Like I said nothing to worry about."
Kakarotto was a bit annoyed by the answer his father had given him but let him be for now. After that, he started noticing something else, every time his father looked out into space, it seemed like he was sad, and looked for something.
While they trained Bardock told his son, "Imagine me as an enemy, not your father. You're clearly holding back against me." "But pa, if I go all out I might hurt you" Irittated he starts shouting, "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HURT ME, WE'RE NOT HUMANS, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET HURT MORE THAN TWICE DURING OUR LIVES! AND IN CASE YOU FORGOT WE'RE IMMORTAL AS WELL!" Kakarotto nods and without hesitation jumps in at full speed and breaks Bardock's jaw with a kick.
He starts smiling and decides to stop holding back as well. However, he forgot that he was still furious because of the murder of Gine and Tora, and because of this fury, he punched a hole in his son. "Kakarotto? I'm so sorry." Pulling his hand out he got the medic machine ready and put his son inside. (Just so you guys know, being immortal does not mean painless, so they will still get injured, only they always survive it. Even if they get decapitated.)
He quickly calmed down again and stared out the window, looking for Saya-jin pods so he could make contact and find out what happened to everyone who wasn't on the planet. Though his thoughts always slipped back to Gine.
Completely caught up in the memory of his wife he remembers her voice, "Bardock hurry. Come here and look. Raditz is going to be tested every moment now! BARDOCK?" "PA! Are you listening?" Confused Bardock looks at his son, "What was it?" Kakarotto simply points outside one of the other windows, "We're almost on Namek, look." Relieved Bardock orders his son, "Let's get ready, equip your armor and scouter we're going planetside."
Big thanks to everyone following the story, reviewing it, and encouraging me to continue, it really means a lot. (and before you ask, the answer is "no, I will not stop saying thank you") If you think the story could be improved just tell me, i'll be happy to hear/read you out.
