"Don't forget us Kakarot!"
Those four words in which Gine had last spoken to her child, Kakarot, ricocheted throughout the mind of Bardock all day. He stood looking up at the sky, at the exact spot where he and his wife sent away their son to a faraway planet. There he waited; waited for the moment in which his life would change forever. He knew that the cold emperor Frieza had something planned, something devious. What it was however, was unclear to him. Why would Frieza want to have everyone gather on the planet unless he had plans to exterminate them all? Did he send his son off for the correct reasons? That was another thing nagging at his brain, a constant feeling of uneasiness and guilt pitted in his stomach.
Suddenly, the world seemed to darken; the sun blocked by something large. Turning around he saw it, a massive armada led by the bastard Frieza himself. He'd quickly fly up and towards the fleet of ships before one of their cannons had fired, hitting him directly and sending Bardock crashing back into his home village. His armor's right shoulder and breast pads were ripped apart as he was sent across the dirt. "Bardock!" Gine had called as she ran out to aid her husband, other curious saiyans had stepped out of their huts to see what was going on.
"Get out of here Gine!" Bardock grunted as he pushed himself back up to stand on his shaky legs. "Someone has to show this bastard what for!" Blood trickled out of the many cuts and scrapes he suffered down his arm. The biggest ship, Frieza's own, opened on the top. Out came the short alien in his pod chair, his tail slumped and dangling over the side. With a chilling laugh he'd point his finger up towards the stars, and almost in an instant a bright orange sphere of energy formed. The attack was nearly the size of Planet Vegeta itself. Fear shot through Bardock's body and mind, his eyes widened but were filled with anger. A white aura erupted around the battle-hardened Saiyan as he charged a blue attack in his injured hand. "Cmon' don't tell me you intend to kill us that easily!" He muttered foolishly before launching upwards towards the tyrant. With a shriek, Frieza launched the attack down towards the planet; with a shout Bardock would return an attack at his own, the two blasts clashed against one another. Full of heart, Bardock didn't back down as his ruler's attack barreled through his, he stood his ground but ultimately it wasn't enough. The attack overtook him, destroying his armor, body, and subsequently his planet. What followed was a brief, blinding flash of light before Planet Vegeta was nothing but stardust and a few rocks. "Well, those were some fireworks." Frieza spoke coldly, before chuckling "Damn monkeys." The emperor would lower back into his ship and fly off, followed by the rest of his army.
Planet Vegeta and its inhabitants were gone, except for one Saiyan. Bardock, whose body was in tatters and a bloody mess, was barely conscious as he laid on his stomach on one of the remaining rocks from the planet. His armor and clothes were completely disintegrated, leaving him bare and his tail floating aimlessly in the effects of no gravity. He looked off towards where his planet once was, and saw one of the Frieza squadron ships floating as well, it was beaten and battered as well as vacant. "G-Gine..." He pushed himself off the rock and let the momentum carry himself to the ship, he ran in to the large frontal window of the ship and bounced upwards. He'd weakly latch on to a metal bar and bring himself to the hatch atop the spacecraft, he had just enough strength to barely open the loosely held together door. Once open he fell downward into the ship and crashed onto the floor, it seemed to have its own field of gravity on the inside. Slowly he was able to stand up on his feet once more, he stumbled his way toward the control panel and sat down in the pilot's chair. Looking at the stars in the distance he'd take a deep, sharp breath as he spoke to himself once more.
"I promised you.. I'll get our boy back."
Welp, that's about all for the first chapter. It has been a LOOONG time since I've written anything, especially not on this scale. Hopefully this gains traction and is rather enjoyable. Please leave any feedback down below if you would, good or bad any is appreciated!
