This is really just a preview for chapter 19, which signals the end of the Saiyan Saga, and sends this story into temporary hiatus until I have the support and motivation to continue this. Anyway, enjoy.
Too quiet... all to quiet.
A sound Kakarot had taken a disliking too, as that meant something was amiss or nearby. It made Kakarot open his eyes in fact as he tried to figure out exactly what was happening. The first thing that he noticed was that he was back in space, yet again, but he wasn't in his pod. The never ending black always seemed much larger once he wasn't in the tightness of his pod, but that was to be expected. He seemed to be in perfect condition as well, with his armor in perfect shape as well.
"What the..."
Something seemed... oddly similar about this place. The Saiyan could hear voices murmuring, some even crying out. Kakarot looked down and saw all kinds of aliens, different species wearing the same type of armor, standing above a red planet... Planet Vegeta!
"What the hell? Why would all of these soldiers be here? This never happened!" Kakarot asked himself, flying towards a circular object – Frieza's ship. "Frieza's ship? This must be around the time the planet was destroyed..."
"FRIEZAAA!" Bardock yelled loudly. Kakarot snapped his head around, looking at the sound of the familiar voice. There he was – his own father. His armor was torn, blood ran down his face and his chest, he held his arm in his hand. The scar-faced Saiyan was a mess, to say the least.
"Father?" Kakarot wondered, taking note of the fact Bardock wasn't out on a mission in some other planet like he would be, but headed towards a large spaceship up above the planet's atmosphere. Then, he saw the tyrant himself, exiting out of his spaceship through a hatch, sitting in his hovering, brown chair.
"He's come out!"
"It's Lord Frieza!" one of the soldiers yelled.
"Lord Frieza's joining the battle!"
"Bootlickers," Kakarot said under his breath, disgusted at the display, not noticing Frieza point a finger upwards and a small reddish ball grow out of it.
"What? What is Frieza doing?" Vegeta yelled, noticing exactly what Frieza was doing.
"It all comes down to this... my fate... Planet Vegeta's fate..." Bardock spoke loudly, his anger fueling every word that came out of his mouth. "And yes... yours too, Frieza!" Bardock continued, his ultimate attack, the Final Spirit Cannon, charging in his hand. Kakarot recognized it as the same attack Jake had used on Earth when he tried to kill him. Then again, he had his father's spirit.
"WE SETTLE IT HERE!" Bardock yelled, throwing it at the supposed feared overlord. Instead of showing fear, however, Frieza just started to laugh as his Supernova attack absorbed the attack.
"What the-!" Bardock yelled in disbelief. He reacted almost as if his attack had never failed him before! With a loud, evil, and sadistic laugh, Frieza let the Supernova go. As Frieza's men cowered in fear and screamed, some even trying to escape, Bardock just stood there, shocked, and then the Supernova hit him. Kakarot's mouth went wide open, watching as his own father was defeated and absorbed by Frieza's ultimate attack.
"AAAAAAHHH!" Bardock yelled as the ball burned him to bits along with the thousands of soldiers that had been deployed from Frieza's ship.
"Father... how?" Kakarot whispered, wanting the dream to end. There was a blinding light, one that made Kakarot put both gloves in front of his eyes. Once his gloves were removed, he noticed all who had stood in the way of the attack were gone, and the Supernova was headed straight towards Planet Vegeta.
"No... NOOO!" Kakarot screamed as he tried to fly towards the attack so that he could intercept it and push it back, but he was frozen in place. With a horrified look on his face, the Saiyan helplessly watched as Frieza's Supernova collided with planet, and was silently holding hope out that his planet wouldn't be destroyed, absentmindedly crossing his fingers. Alas, once cracks started to form on the home planet of the Saiyans, he knew in his heart that it was done for.
With a loud BOOOOOOOOM, the legendary, beautiful, Planet Vegeta was turned into a giant ball of fire on the verge of exploding. A couple of tears welled up in the onyx eyes of the Saiyan warrior as he watched the true destruction of his home planet. A meteor hadn't destroyed it at all! He'd been lied to! How could he have been so stupid as to believe that lie!
"HAHAHA! WELL, WELL! NOW THAT, IS BEAUTIFUL! SEE, LOOK DODORIA, ZARBON! LOOK AT THE FIREWORKS! AREN'T THEY SPLENDID! HAHAHAHA!" a voice yelled, laughing manically. Kakarot, recognizing the voice, slowly turned around to see Frieza reveling in his act of well-deserved judgment upon the inferior race that was the Saiyans. Clenching his fist, he yelled the one word that fit the scenario perfectly, with his head snapping forward all of the way, as if he was a zombie and the only one that heard the shriveling scream, which itself was lanced with ki, was his own self.
"FRIEZAAAAA!"
