Prologue: Bardock's death.
As Bardock flew in his spaceship to planet Meat, he had thoughts about his visions of the "future" that has been given to him by the weakened surviving Kanaasan before its death. "Why am i thinking about this? I know that these are delusions, ...but are these visions actually going to happen to us?" He thought. He was nervous that those visions are going to come true, even though he thinks that the Kanaasan was just trying to scare him. And yet he was also excited that he was going to planet Meat to join up with his crew and clear out the civilization there, then he and his team will be recognised as the strongest low class team on the planet for that reason.
Bardock smirked, as he was hoping his team wasn't going to hog all the fun. He also hoped that Frieza would also recognise his team as more stronger than they look, and that he and his team would also get promoted. That got him excited about joining his team and finishing the rest of the job with them, and yet he is also nervous that Frieza might turn against his people and destroy his planet according to the visions. But he thinks the visions could be lying to him, "After all frieza wouldn't do that for no reason." Bardock thought.
The visions are haunting him, but he pushed those thoughts aside as he approached planet Meat. He feels his job there might distract him from his thoughts, and he might be with his team again. At least he hopes so, or he could also be with his wife Gine after he comes home. And when he and his team might take part in a celebration back home after the job is done there. "I hope you didn't finish this job without me." Bardock says smirking as he reached the planet Meat. Unfortunately he is in for quite a rude awakening.
Meanwhile on Planet Meat
The traitorous scum that is Frieza's elite force, led by one of Frieza's elites named Dodoria. Murdered Bardock's team swiftly, despite their best efforts trying to survive against them. Leaving a mortally wounded Tora, the last of Bardock's crew, for dead as they comb the wasteland for what's left of Planet Meat for survivors. Little do they know, is that Bardock has arrived on the same planet, and he is looking for his team to finish off the rest of the planet. However when Bardock arrived where his team is at, he was Shocked and horrified at what happened to them.
"Shugesh…, Fasha…, Borgos…, What happened? It …can't be." Bardock then looked up at the sky, tears in his eyes.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Bardock Screamed out in anguish, Remembering all the good and bad times he had with his crew. He then looked around spotting Tora, after hearing him groan out his name.
"Bardock?" Tora groans out loud enough for Bardock to hear him. Bardock then runs over to him. Hoping that what is left of his team might still be alive and might survive.
"Tora what the hell happened here?! Don't tell me those Meatheads did this to you guys!" Bardock exclaimed angrily.
"No Bardock they were no trouble… for any of us. You should've …knew us better than that." Tora said.
"Then what happened to you guys? Why are all of you dead?" Bardock asked.
"Because… we were ambushed by Dodoria and his men." Tora said.
Bardock shocked at the news he got, then asked "But why?! We serve Frieza! We serve his organization! And he ordered us to be here! Why did Dodoria wound you and kill my team!?" Bardock asked horrified and angered.
"Because it was a setup, Frieza wants us dead." Tora says.
"WHAT!?" Bardock exclaimed, realizing that his visions from the Kanaasan might be coming true. "Why would he do that?! Frieza is our emperor! And yet, after all we have done for him, the fact that we never planned to betray him …yet, and he still ordered your deaths anyway? It doesn't make sense!" Bardock says.
"We were gonna be the strongest… and that scared Frieza. He knew we may not be controlled… any longer by him, …because of our rising strength." Tora said.
"So he decided to do this? To keep himself in power?" Bardock angrily asked.
"Of course… we planned to… betray him someday. I… guess he… predicted… what we were gonna do beforehand." Tora says nonchalantly on the last part.
*cough* *cough* Tora then started to cough, showing Bardock that he is losing what is left of his life, before he then smiled. "Good luck… old friend… I… wish I… could've been…" then Tora went limp smiling.
"Goodbye Tora. I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you guys." Bardock tearfully said. Then he remembered that his visions told him this might have happened, yet he didn't pay them any heed. Now he is facing his consequences. That left him saddened yet angry that Frieza has done this, as well as angry at himself, because he did nothing to alert his team to this fate. Even if he knew they'd think he was crazy. Yet they'd believe him, because that's what teammates would do. But at this point, he knew that it was too late for them now, as he knew what he had to do now.
He then grabbed Tora's arm cloth, then he wrapped it around his head after it turned red with the blood of Tora's, then he left the location of his former team for his ship to get his revenge.
Not knowing that one of his team members actually survived.
Fasha, the only female member of Bardock's team, who was also wounded, but barely able to survive the battle that killed Bardock's team, overheard what Tora said to Bardock. She was also not happy. "He planned this setup? …that bastard… shall pay for this betrayal." She thought. Then she initially crawled off the rock, before she then limped her way to her space pod.
Which was easier said than done as it took several agonizing minutes to a few hours for her to walk to her ship without breaking more of her bones. She did this while also grieving for her team, but she was also afraid of what will happen to Bardock, her beloved, as he is getting revenge, since she knew that Frieza is too strong for him. Eventually she was able to reach her ship after those agonizing minutes of walking, and launch her way out of planet Meat. Before punching in her coordinates to Planet Vegeta where she knows Bardock is heading towards.
On the way to Planet Vegeta
Fasha, while nursing her wounds, was watching the view of space, and seeing the stars move by, before she then thought about hers and Bardock's time together through thick and thin of their battles. Then she thought about his wife, whom is a butcher named Gine. While she and Gine were friends regardless of the latter becoming Bardock's wife, Fasha felt envious and steamed that Bardock chose Gine over herself, but she didn't show it to Gine during their time together. A part of her wished that it was herself that Bardock chose, and that it's her that became the mother of Kakarot and Raditz. That she would be the one that Bardock comes home to and have dinner together with, and of course become sparring partners.
She never fought at least once with Gine over who Bardock chose due to their friendship, but a part of her wished that Gine's butchering, and meat processing job would be her death due to an accident. That way, she would be Bardock's next mate. After all, she was with Bardock on his jobs more than Gine has, and therefore, she knows they could be best lovers together, with her helping him move on from her death. Her train of thoughts were on hold however, when she saw planet Vegeta. But what she also saw, shocked her to the core, causing her to stop her ship and made her keep her power level low, thus hiding it.
Frieza was on his ship, hovering over Planet Vegeta as he was staring down a crowd of people hovering over the planet too. What shocked and horrified her though, was that Bardock was in front of the crowd, staring down Frieza as well. She was scared that Bardock was gonna get killed by Frieza, and that Frieza would remain standing, and be unopposed by all other Saiyans as they are too weak to stop him, and they know it.
She then saw Bardock. Who, although he felt outmatched, smirked at Frieza. Causing her to feel confident and relieved. Because she feels Bardock getting stronger due to the "Saiyan power", where the Saiyans like him and herself gets stronger once they heal from their injuries suffered from battle. She started to smile when she saw Bardock charge his Ki blast, ready to destroy Frieza, and threw it feeling confident that it might be enough to kill him. "Come on Bardock. kill him. Avenge our crew." She said.
But what she then saw badly shocked and horrified her.
Frieza had a ball of energy that expanded to the size of a small moon. To make matters worse for Bardock, the blast he launched ended up colliding with the ball, before getting absorbed in it, but it didn't explode.
That was when Frieza was cackling madly as he tossed the ball right at Bardock. Much to Fasha's horror. "GET OUTTA THERE BARDOCK, DODGE IT, RUUN!" Fasha screamed out tears in her eyes hoping he would hear her. Unfortunately, seeming like he was too shocked to move, Bardock just floated there. Letting the ball consume him, along with the crowd behind him that couldn't get outta the way in time. Worse still, the ball didn't stop until it collided with Planet Vegeta. Thus doing the unthinkable in her eyes.
…Destroying the entire planet.
"BAAAAAARRRRDOOOOOOCK!" Fasha screamed on top of her lungs with anguish and with tears in her eyes.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
The resulting explosion of her dead planet's shockwaves sent her ship flying far away from the location of where Planet Vegeta once stood. Her ship was spinning and rolling all over the place, and she was powerless to stop her ship from doing that, as she felt herself getting tossed around on the inside like a brick in a powerful hi-tech dryer. And it was when she feels like she isn't almost getting crushed by the centrifugal force caused by her ship spinning when she sticks to the interior walls.
It was a couple minutes until it eventually stopped. With the worst of this situation gone, Fasha crawled back onto her seat, before she then held her head in her hands as she cried out of sadness and pain. She cried for her crew, she cried for her planet, she cried in pain of her injuries flaring up from the rough ride, reminding her that she was still wounded, but most of all, she cried for Bardock. She knew Gine was on the planet too when it exploded, as Bardock told her during their job on Kanassa that he plans to come back to her on planet Vegeta with his pay, but now she is dead too, and she's sad for her as well. A part of her wished that Gine would be gone so Fasha can have Bardock, but she wished that both of them didn't die together, and that it should have been just Gine. Now she is all alone with her crew dead, as well as her beloved, and nearly every saiyan was gone as well, with only the surviving saiyans who wasn't on planet Vegeta as the only other survivors.
When she was done crying for now, she booted up her ship's computer to check for any damages to her ship. When the status told her the ship is fine, she than scanned for planets that she could take refuge in to heal her wounds. Unfortunately most of the planets close by that she checked had already been under frieza's control, or is useless because of the destruction the saiyans has done, turning them into wastelands. She scanned the status of planet Vegeta to convince herself she was not hallucinating this.
"Planet Vegeta"
"Status: Destroyed by asteroid."
Fasha was furious about the computer telling a blatant lie to her face. "Bullshit." Fasha growled out, causing her to yelp as she held onto her wounds when they flared up again. Once they simmered down, she then used her ship's computer to scan for the other saiyan pod ships. It took her a couple minutes to find a list of active ships that holds the other saiyans that survived, and happens to be somewhere in the other sides of the universe. She then found a ship on one of the planets, that shows the stats that young prince Vegeta is still alive. "Well the Vegeta line isn't ending at King Vegeta's death on the planet." Fasha thought indifferently. After a few more scans of the other pods, she then scanned the pod that left her surprised.
"Kakarot?" She thought, surprised that she almost forgotten about the little tyke. After all, she babysat him while Gine was too busy with her job a few times, feeding him, bathing him, (and on occasion, bathing with him.), and soothing his crying every time with some frustration for three years. Nevertheless, she was relieved and smiling to herself that the son of her beloved Bardock has escaped from Planet Vegeta, before its destruction. She then scanned the coordinates of his ship, and sees that he is quite close to a little faraway planet called…
Earth.
"Someone must have sent him far away from Frieza's tyranny to a place where Frieza might not bother to look for him." She thought Smiling, knowing that Kakarot might survive to live his father's legacy. And possibly create his own, which would either match or surpass his Father.
She then heard Bardock's voice telling her. "Fasha… you must raise my son now that I am gone, I "know" that you would do this for me." The voice told her. She then let more tears on her face fall to her knees. She now wanted to show Bardock that she would not disappoint him this time.
Then after a couple minutes of letting her tears fall, she rose her head up, and with determination, she ended up saying, "I will. For you Bardock." She then punched in the coordinates and then flew her ship to Earth where she plans to not only raise her now son Kakarot, but she also plans to conquer Earth into her own likeness, like what Vegeta did for her doomed planet.
Before the cryo sleep in her pod's mask that she put on for the journey ended up activating, and sending her to sleep, she said this to herself as a promise.
"I shall make my own empire to rival Frieza's as well. I shall call it… The FASHIAN EMPIRE!"
