Morning Chaos
The next morning was chaotic to say the least. First thing in the morning Bardock started shoveling toys out of the house. He dropped the whole lot off at a charity event in East City, it took twelve trips. In the six years since Nappa had destroyed the city significant effort to rebuild had been made by King Furry, it wasn't as grand as it once was but the big businesses had rebuilt their skyscrapers and built low cost housing for the people as an act of charity. Although there would be no point in reopening the buildings if there were no people to work there, so just how charitable the act was, was debatable, either way the people were beginning to flourish. They could probably build a new building completely out of those toys. Bardock couldn't careless what they did with them.
When Parzni woke up she didn't notice the disappearance of her toy mountains, at first, then she looked around and seem slightly confused. Bardock quickly hustled her out the door towards the smell of breakfast. Hopefully by the time that tantrum came around Raditz would be there to suffer through it.
Raditz and Turles showed up right as the food was being placed on the table, Bardock could see an apology, although its sincerity was questionable, on the tip of Raditz's tongue. However he didn't get to utter a syllable of it before Chi-Chi started swinging her largest heaviest frying pan around.
"How dare you just up and leave like that!" she shouted swinging for Raditz's head. He ducked it and she came back with a second wild swing which Raditz also dodged but scored Turles in the arm. Unsatisfied with that, Chi-Chi took another swing at Raditz chasing him out the back door of the Son home. "You could have at least left a note!" she shouted as she chased after him.
Bardock couldn't help but laugh at the spectacle. The children were laughing along as well, even Parzni. Turles simple looked on from the doorway, shaking his head. After a few seconds Raditz must have remembered that Chi-Chi couldn't fly, he took off and hovered above the house.
Chi-Chi glared at him and huffed. Then her gaze slid from Raditz over to Turles who was chuckling to himself. He was so focused on Raditz that he didn't notice Chi-Chi until she was clocking him in the head with the pan. She hit him hard enough that his head snapped to the side, but Bardock could see he wasn't really hurt.
"I don't even know why you're still here, you don't do anything but cause trouble," ranted Chi-Chi. That wasn't technically true. Turles might have done the least of the chores out of everyone, including the toddlers, he might have made the biggest messes of everyone else, he might have started the most arguments of everyone but he was also the only saiyan really contributing to the household financially. The space gems he initially brought with him and gifted to Chi-Chi had sold for quite a few zenni and there seemed to be an endless supply of them. If they didn't hunt food, which they'd been cutting back on due to Gohan's ecological concerns, Turles bought it.
While Chi-Chi was berating Turles, Bardock flew up to Raditz.
"So did you have fun?" he asked hovering next to his wayward son. Raditz grinned at the question. "We went to some seedy bar and got into a bar fight. Then there were cops busting in and we decided to lead them off on a chase, when we got back to the ship some thieves were trying to, well we weren't sure if they were trying to steal it or loot it, but either way we beat them up and tossed them at the cops before we took off. We would have got back the same day but we stopped and sparred for a bit, it was fun," said Raditz. Bardock could see the trip had been good for him, he'd been moping again.
"I'm glad, son, you know you don't have to stay cooped up here all the time. You can borrow my ship if you need too,"
"Thanks, this planet is so peaceful; it's starting to drive me crazy. I mean I don't miss being Freeza's dog but-,"
"You're a saiyan, we don't do peaceful very well, and when Parzni is older I'm sure we can all go find a good fight, the galaxy is full of problems,"
"Like with Horit?" Raditz asked with a raised eyebrow. He probably shared Turles' opinion on doing free work just because it was a good cause.
"Maybe, but hopefully not so weird," responded Bardock. He had no intention of being a mercenary. It might have appealed to him once but that was in another life.
"I'll probably be headed on a trip soon, I'm going to visit this planet I might be gone for a while," he told Raditz.
"Where too?" Raditz asked
"Kanassa," Bardock responded. Raditz made a confused expression and look at his father oddly.
"What?" Bardock asked him.
"Kanassa was where Freeza built one his vacation homes. He was weird about it, he didn't have a base there they said the he would just randomly spend a week there by himself, otherwise it was a complete no man's land, nobody else was allowed there," Raditz told him.
So the lizard dictator had been trying and failing to gain psychic powers. Bardock laughed to himself.
"I don't even know if it's still there, I heard he blew up," Raditz was saying. Bardock cursed internally. It was just like that spoiled dictator to get frustrated and blow Kanassa to pieces when he couldn't gain psychic powers.
'So what now, Toolo?' he thought to the specter in his head.
Raditz turned his head towards him and he knew the question of why he had wanted to go there was on the tip of his tongue. He decided it was time to rescue Turles. Bardock flew down and punched Turles in the face, and then he and ChiChi returned to the waiting meal.
'Hey, Kanassan,' he yelled into the back of his head.
Raditz joined them, and Parzni clung to him.
'Don't get quiet on me now, bastard,' he thought spitefully
Turles joined them as well; there was a lump on the side of his head, Gohan gave him a sympathetic pat on the arm.
