Chapter
46;
Re-Stationed
Bardock's recovery continued on into the late hours of the night. Planthore tried to stay awake, but sleep captured him at about 3 o'clock in the morning. He hadn't moved at all since he brought Bardock in. He didn't care that he was covered in blood. He had to take care of that poor boy...
At about 4 o'clock, the machine beeped. It woke Planthore, so he checked on it.
"Recovery complete." the computer said. Planthore drained the tank, and took Bardock out. But Bardock was very tired, thus, he was asleep. Planthore laid him down in a nearby bed, covered him up, and sat by his side, and slowly drifted back into sleep.
The next morning, about 9:30, Bardock sat up slowly. He looked around, and recognized his surroundings. He noticed that his armor(just the top, not the pants) had been taken.
Was it all a dream...? he asked himself, but looked down to see a new scar on his body, parallel with his heart. He put his hand over it, feeling it. It stung to touch it, so he quickly jerked his hand off of it. My father...why have you done this to me...?
"It's about time you got up." Malaka said, "Cheated death again, eh?"
"I...guess so..." Bardock sighed.
"You amaze me, Bardock. You're one strange child."
"Yeah..."
"You sound depressed...but I guess I can't really blame you." Malaka said while typing something, "Planthore should be back soon. The King wanted to talk to him about something."
"Oh..."
"You're armor is over there." Malaka pointed to his left to a small table. Bardock got up to walk to it, but fell down when he touched the floor.
"You okay?"
"I guess...I'm still just a little shooken up..." he stood back up, to notice his knees were slightly shaking.
"A little is an understatement..." Malaka commented and went back to his work.
"Hey...how come there isn't a hole in it?" Bardock asked, observing the armor and then slipping it on.
"Since you were out for a long time, he went and got that hole patched up."
"Oh..."
"He left some money so you could go ahead and eat if you're hungry." Malaka said. Next to where Bardock's armor was laid a small bag with some zeni in it.
"If he comes back while I'm gone, could you tell him I said thanks?"
"Will do." Malaka chuckled.
Bardock ate quickly, and paid the man in charge as soon as he was finished. He noticed a piece of paper in the bag.
You can keep what money is left over the note said.
Bardock decided to walk around in town for a little while. After all, he didn't know what he could find there, and now mean people weren't going to drag him down!
He was walking past a series of small shops when he noticed a place that sold 'fighting accessories'. He looked in for a second, and saw something he thought he liked. A set of red arm warmers and leg warmers. They were very cheap anyways, so he got them.
He then rushed back to the hospital, and saw Planthore had just gotten there.
"Hey, Unken!" he greeted.
"You're up I see." Planthore smiled at the young Saiyan.
"Yeah. Thanks to you..." Bardock said graciously.
"You feeling okay, Bardock?" Planthore asked.
"Yeah." he nodded.
"Good."
"What did they need to talk to you about?"
"Bardock...every few years...they send me to another planet for a few years." Planthore explained, "And the King informed me that I had to leave tomorrow."
"W...what...? You...won't be here?"
"No..."
"You can't leave!!" Bardock protested.
"I have to."
"Then take me with you!!"
"I can't, Bardock."
"But...but...You CAN'T leave me here all alone!! I don't have anyone!!"
"I'm sorry!" Planthore said, and placed his hand on Bardock's shoulder. The child jerked away a little bit, "I'm sorry that I have to go..."
"How long...?"
"4 years..."
"Why didn't you just say no?"
"I can't..."
"Why not?!"
"It's complicated! You'll understand when you're older..."
"I wanna understand now..."
"It's hard to explain."
"I...But...fine..."
"And you can stay here if you want to, Bardock."
"No. I'll just go back to my cave..." he sighed.
"Bardock..." he sighed, "You really should consider it."
"I'll be okay..." Bardock gritted his teeth, holding back tears.
"After that, I get to stay on this planet for about 5 or 6 years."
The next morning, Bardock made sure to get up early enough to tell Planthore goodbye. Just like that, he was gone, off to another planet.
Back in the present
Bardock and Goku woke up at the same time. They both had the same dream. Goku looked at Bardock sadly.
"So...that's why...you were kinda depressed...?"
"Had the same dream, huh?" Bardock asked.
"Yeah..."
"Kakarot, don't be sad for me."
"But..."
"Look...I'm the one who has to live with those things...not you. It's nothing for you to worry about. Okay?"
"Okay..." Goku sighed, "Can I..."
"What?"
"Can I see it...?"
"It?"
"That other scar..."
"Oh...that one...I guess so." Bardock then pulled the neck of the shirt he was wearing down enough for Goku to get a glimpse of the scar over his father's heart.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Not as bad as it used to. Only the memory that it brings hurts..."
"Oh..."
"So did Planthore ever make it back?"
"Yeah..." Bardock said, Oh God...what if he was on Planet Vegeta when it...
The next morning, Bardock was talking with Tora.
"Hey...Tora...?"
"Yeah?"
"When Planet Vegeta was hit...do you know if..."
"Planthore wasn't there when it exploded."
"How did you know what I was gonna-"
"Oh please. I knew you'd ask sooner or later. He practically raised you!"
"You have a point." Bardock chuckled slightly, "So he's still alive somewhere?"
"Yeah."
Later...(btw, this part was submitted to me by ClarkR. Thanks, ClarkR!! XD)
Bardock sticks his hand in the cookie jar, but instead of withdrawing a
cookie from there, he withdrew a woman!
"AAH! TAMMY!" screamed Bardock, and Tammy smirked as she placed a handcuff on
his wrist, locking them together. "AAH!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU GOT THE KEY!"
Tammy held up the key and then shoved it down her shirt.
"Marry me, make me your bride and I'll unlock us!" Tammy demanded with an arm
around Bardock's neck.
"AH!Wait, why am I screaming?" Bardock asked with a confused look on his
face, he grasp the cuff on his wrist and tore it off. "Nice try, Tammy"
"GET AWAY FROM MY DAD, EVIL WOMAN!" yelled Goku, thundering up to Tammy and
bumping into her so hard that she went flying through the ceiling.
"AH!! I'll be back!" Tammy yelled as she flew skyward and disappeared among
the clouds. (Team Rocket-style, Team Rocket from Pokemon.)
Bardock stared dumbstruck at Goku with eyes the size of dinner plates. "Uh...thanks, Kakarot..."
Me:A special thanks to ClarkR, for that random Tammy gag at the end. That was all him!
ClarkR:Don't mention it!
Bardock:I want my cookie...
Rocky:(punches Bardock in the stomach) Bardock:Ow...and I
want to be adult again...
Me:Okay, well, uh...check out ClarkR and his fics, as well as the fics of DBZROCKS10 and The-Saiyan-From-Hyrule!
Rocky:In the next chapter, we will have more of Bardock's past!
Bardock:Just when I thought it was over...
Me:Nope. You gotta endure it, little buddy.
Bardock:Change me back...pwease?
Me:Later.
Bardock:Aw...
Gagawop Wuvs Yu!
