Unexpected Fate
Chapter 6
CMG: See the first chapter for the disclaimer since I'm getting tired of posting it over and over and over again. Sheesh! I only own Scrix and another character who's going to make her appearance in this story. Who it's going to be? You'll see. (laughs insanely that Scrix knocks CMG out with his staff and drags her to Freeza's torchure chamber)
--------------------------------------------
Footsteps echoed in the staircase as Bardock slept, having another vision of the future. He stirred in his sleep as he tried to understand what it was about.
*** Dream ***
"Huh?" said Bardock as he found himself on a planet with lava on it. The sky was dark with smoke from the earth as Bardock sees two auras clashing in the sky. One was pure gold while the other was dark as night. (Sounds familiar?)
"Give up, Freeza," a familiar voice said as the golden aura manages to reflect the rays the darker aura blast at him.
"W-who is that man in gold?" said Bardock as he tries to fly closer to find out. He noticed the man wore a pair of torn orange pants and a navy blue shirt. Bardock noticed that the man had aqua-colored eyes like Scrix did, but shorter golden hair that stuck straight up. "K-Kakarot?!"
*** End Dream ***
Bardock's dream was cut short as a kick to his ribs wakes him up. He coughs up some blood as he wakes to find Freeza with two guards standing inside the cell with him. Scrix was "asleep" with the ki restraints back on his wrists. (Scrix usually doesn't need to sleep. He's faking it to fool Freeza and his men.) Freeza sneered in delight as he grabs Bardock's tail.
"Now monkey," said Freeza. "Tell me what Vegeta will do to betray me?"
"I'll never tell you," said Bardock, which earned another kick in the ribs.
"Tell me, damn you!" said Freeza.
"I'd rather die than tell, bastard!" said Bardock.
Freeza squeezed Bardock's tail harder as his whole body got paralyzed instantly. He couldn't breathe, couldn't speak, or couldn't fight back at all against Freeza. Freeza held on until Bardock passed out. Freeza drags Bardock to his torchure chamber by his tail and throws him against the wall.
"Well, if you're not going to tell now, then I'll find a way to get it out of you one way or another," said Freeza. "Bring in Clive, the mind reader."
"But sire," said one of the guards, "she might deceive us!"
"Do as I say!" said Freeza. "One way or another, I will know!"
A few minutes later, a blue-cloaked woman enters the cell. Her hair was white, her skin was gray, and her eyes were black as onyx.
"You called, Lord Freeza?" said Clive.
"I want you to tap into this monkey's mind and give me the shit I've been trying to get out of him," said Freeza.
"I'll do my best to serve you," said Clive as she began to concentrate.
Bardock's body glowed as Clive concentrated on getting the information from him. Soon, Clive stopped as she came close to passing out on the floor. She smiles.
"My lord," said Clive. "Vegeta is after the Dragon Balls to gain immortality."
"Really?" said Freeza. "Anything else?"
"He will die by your hands," said Clive. "But beware of the golden fighter."
"Ha! I doubt there are any 'golden fighters' left in this universe!" said Freeza. He takes Bardock and throws him back into the dungeon and then, Freeza, Clive, and the guards leave the cell. "I want to be sure that Bardock and his friend doesn't get any food at all for their trouble. They will starve to death. It's a shame though that his friend didn't ask for mercy on Bardock."
Bardock felt very weakened as he realized what happened. Clive seen the visions and saw everything. He felt worn out as a pair of hands forced a vial to his lips. He drank whatever it was and didn't care if it was poison to end all of the suffering and shame he felt there at that moment. However, he felt renewed with energy instead and felt worse as his eyes opened to find Scrix facing him.
"H-he knows," said Bardock.
"I know," said Scrix. "I heard the whole thing. What's important is that you're alive and that you're not dead after Freeza got that information from your mind. Don't worry. We're getting out of here now."
"What?!" said Bardock. "How?"
"Scrix?" said another female voice as a woman came to the cell doors as they opened instantly. The woman had black hair with white streaks in every lock of her long hair, blue eyes, and a golden tail that shone like the sunlight. She wore a white dress that had a red cape with golden trim around the edges. She wore ivory boots that were white as snow. "Are you and the seer alright?"
"Karis!" said Scrix as he ran towards his mate. Bardock was stumped.
"But she's-!" said Bardock.
"Dead?" said Scrix. "Well, a God does has it's advantages. If you desire your mate to be returned to you unharmed, you have to be willing to give up some of your power in order for it to work."
"Scrix, I brought your staff like you wanted," said Karis as she hands Scrix a golden staff with a very rare clear stone that faintly shone with multiple colors. "Will you please come home now?"
"Karis, I cannot," said Scrix. "It is my duty that Bardock is to be reunited with his son."
"You mean I'll get to meet Kakarot?" said Bardock.
"Yes," said Scrix. "As soon as he arrives to fight the Ginyu Force, he will come and you'll be reunited. For now, we must flee."
"Of course," said Karis. "Follow me!"
The three manage to escape and fly off. As they do, they feel 3 weaker power levels fighting against 4 stronger ones. They quickly fly off to the battlefield to see what was going on.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh look!" said Recoome. "It's Bardock, the crazy seeing Saiya-jin."
"You mean seer," said Jaice. "How in the hell did you escape Freeza?"
"With my friends," said Bardock as Karis and Scrix growled a threat to the Ginyu Force.
"Oh, so do you two want to fight?" said Baata. "We might have lost Guido, but we're still able to fight you!"
"Sorry, but we like to make you feel a bit fearful," said Scrix as he transforms into a Super Saiya-jin.
"Scrix! Your tail!" said Bardock.
"Don't worry, Bardock," said Scrix. "As long as I remain in the first level, I cannot lose control. It's only up to SSJ3 where I lose full control of myself."
"Oh," said Bardock.
"So what?!" said Recoome.
"Don't you idiots know anything?" said Bardock. "He's a Super Saiya-jin."
"What?!" said Vegeta. "Impossible! If your a Super Saiya-jin, then why aren't you going to fight?"
"I am a Saiya-jin God," said Scrix. "I am restricted to fight again."
"Is that so? What happened to Infr?" said Vegeta.
"He replaced himself with me and I became a God," said Scrix. "If you don't believe me, then try me."
"Alright," said Vegeta. "I want to see the crest if you're wearing it."
"As you wish, Prince Vegeta" said Scrix as he started to glow in a silver light. His armor changed so most of it was white. In the center of his chest was a silver crest with the Royal Sign inside a circle. It showed a lot of detail with the dragon practically glowing in a golden color. After the light show, the crest disappeared and Vegeta stood there speechless. "Well?"
"Unbelievable!" said Vegeta. "But why are you with Kakarot's father? Freeza locked him away over 30 years ago!"
"I'm saving him and reuniting him with his son," said Scrix as he powers down to normal. "You are as arrogant as your ancestors."
"No duh," said Vegeta as Gohan finally says something.
"Dad?" said Gohan, not really paying attention to the conversation.
"Huh?" said Bardock. "I'm not your father."
"Well, you look like him!" said Gohan.
"Who are you?" said Bardock.
"My name is Gohan," said Gohan as Bardock remembers what Scrix telling him about him being stronger than his dad.
"Are you a half-Saiya-jin?" said Bardock. "You seem pretty powerful to be a normal human."
"Hey!" said Krillin.
"Yeah," said Gohan. "My dad's name is Goku."
"Goku?" said Bardock confused. "Goku? Who's Goku?"
"Your son, Kakarot," said Vegeta.
"How come he's called Goku?" said Bardock still confused. "I know in the visions I hear someone calling him Goku, but I thought it was someone else."
"He's forgotten his real name a long time ago..." said Gohan as he told Bardock the story.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Ginyu Force were bored to death and were pretty much shooting flies on the battlefield than fighting the others. Krillin noticed that Recoome was going to hit Vegeta when he blocks the attack and manages to save Vegeta temporarily.
"Krillin!" cried Gohan.
"You are such a ditz, baldy!" said Vegeta. "I'm tired of this talk. Let's fight!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile outside the spaceship, Freeza notices that Bardock has escaped again and sent Captain Ginyu to capture him. While he left, Freeza tries to use the Dragon Balls, but fails. So, he flies off towards Guru's house to try to get the password.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back on the battlefield, Vegeta's defeated, Bardock and Gohan were trying to fight against Recoome, but he was too powerful and knocks Gohan out.
"You bastard," said Bardock. "How dare you take down my grandson like that! I'm going to kick your sorry ass for hurting him!"
Bardock gets punched in the stomach by Recoome's fist, and he coughs up some blood. Recoome breaks a few of Bardock's ribs in the next punch as he falls to the ground. However, he gets up, clutching his chest as he flies at Recoome. He swings with his right arm as Recoome easily dodges his attacks. Bardock kept fighting to try and save his grandson, but Captain Ginyu grabs Bardock's tail and knocks him out with a hit in the back of his neck.
"Hey!" said Recoome. "I was having fun!"
"Yes, but Freeza wants him alive, you idiot!" said Captain Ginyu. "If he dies, then he won't be able to rule the universe!"
"Oh, yeah," said Recoome.
"I'm taking him back to the ship," said Captain Ginyu as he flies off.
"Shit," said Vegeta. "Well, aren't you two going to help him?"
"No," said Scrix. "He's not going to get hurt. I promise he's going to meet his son soon and I know he will."
Suddenly, Krillin's head peaked up as he mumbles in pure bliss. "G-G-Goku..."
--------------------------------------------
CMG: Well, I've added yet another twist, peeps! Don't worry, though. Bardock's going to meet his son in the next chapter, well sort of meet him. I promise you won't be disappointed. And heck, I'm starting to enjoy the reviews, folks. The more you review, the faster the chapters are going to come out. Later! I'm off to CTC (Cincinnati State Technical and Community College)!
