Chapter 2: Bardock's Realization
Bardock gazed out of his regneration pod, but did not see anything. His mind was too busy with the flashes of images that went through his head, confusing him completely. He saw himself as a child, and some others he had never met. They were not Saiyans. He witnessed himself fighting with his son, Radditz, who appeared older tan him. He saw himself fighting Lord Freeza, his hair turning a golden color and his body increasing in size. He listened to the sound of the other people around him, hearing them call him Goku.
Bardock saw Prince Vegeta, now much older, standing in front of him. He called him a familiar name, Kakarot, the name of his son. It then dawned on him, the man had told him the truth, he could see the future, and see his son. Bardock's smile quickly went from a smile to a frown as he continued to watch Kakarot be beaten, killed, revived, beaten, and killed. He watched the pain that was his son's life, and came to a realization. The sins of the father were being taken out on the son. It seemed that the world was playing a cruel joke on the Saiyans, killing them off and forcing the victimizers to become the victims.
The pain that surrounded his son's life was now staring him in the face, and Bardock knew that it was his and his people's fault. It seemed that Kakarot became the whipping boy of the universe, having to make up for the bad things done by his people. The last Saiyan was not a warrior, but a janitor. Forced to clean up the mess that his race had caused. Tears began to pour down his face, as he watched his son's life in slow motion. Time progressed, and Bardock watched his grandson, Gohan, grow up as well. Gohan's existance was almost ironic in itself. The most powerful Saiyan ever was also the last to fight. He was scared, at first of death, but then scared of himself. He had more power than any Saiyan had ever dreamed, and yet he was afraid of using it. All he wanted in life was to be left alone, and to live in peace.
His son went through life, hunted and hated, but had a good heart. His grandson went through loss and the ppain of having to bottle his feeling, or else he might hurt someone. His innocense and undying love were faults instead of virtues. Finally, he saw that his grandson found his own love, someone who could turn the rage within him in love instead. They had a child as well, Bardock's son's son's daughter, Pan. Bardock was now prepared for the problems that Pan was to face, as he had expected them after viewing Goku and Gohan's life. He was surprised by what he found.
Pan had her pain but for diferrent reasons. Having to be a Saiyan in a world of humans. She never fit in with anyone. Her friends shunned her for her strength, and her family shunned her for her youth. She was able to prove herself on a trip, but the trip ended in disaster. He watched everythign that happened, up to Goku's dissappearence on Shenlong's back. He may have been sad for what happened to his son and grandson, but he actually felt sorry for Pan. His face lit up as he began to watch her future. He saw her struggle for over ten years after Goku left. He saw that she was devestated by the loss of the only person who understood her. Then her life turned around. She found love from the last person she expected it. He understood her and loved everything about Pan, even her strength. He was just about to look upon the man's face when everything went black.
