Unexpected Fate

Chapter 10

CMG: (yawns) I was bored at around 11:00 one night when I started this chapter due to a very strange idea that popped into my head. (fanfic writers stare at her weirdly) Well, at least I go to school later than I used to. The first two terms were difficult for me to... (Scrix appears with his staff and waves it "innocently" around) Fine. I'll start the story. As usual, I don't own them at all. Scrix and Karis are the only ones I own. 'Nuff said. On with the fanfic!

--------------------------------------------

Goku was glowing with a golden aura as he turns towards his son, Gohan. He seemed so calm, even though he's fighting a war within to remain calm enough to be able to stand without fighting for a minute. His blood wanted to fight, but he resisted for a second longer as Bardock realized that all of the visions have finally came true.

'My son is a Super Saiya-jin!' thought Bardock. 'Now, Freeza will pay.'

"Gohan, dad, take Piccolo and Bulma to my spaceship and leave this place," demanded Goku.

"What?!" said Bardock.

"But dad-" said Gohan.

"Listen, Gohan," demanded Goku as he gets angry. "Leave this planet now! Do you want Piccolo to die? Now go!"

Gohan hesitated. "Y-yes daddy."

"I hope you defeat him, son," said Bardock as he helps Gohan pick up Piccolo as they fly off. 'If not, then I'll return and help you, my son. That bastard doesn't deserve to live after all he's done.'

"It's happened like you said Grandfather," said Gohan. "The golden hair, the aqua-colored eyes. Wow! My father is a Super Saiya-jin."

"Yes, and one day, I know that you'll become one too," said Bardock.

"You really think so?" said Gohan.

"Of course," said Bardock. "Your the son of Kakarot, aren't you?"

"Yeah," said Gohan. "We better split up. I'll find Bulma while you take Piccolo back to the spaceship."

"Where's it at?" said Bardock.

"It's north of where we fought three of the five members of the Ginyu Force earlier," said Gohan. "Please hurry!"

"I will," said Bardock as he flies off with Piccolo. 'Once I get to the spaceship, I'll give him the potion so that he doesn't die. I know he's trying to keep the Dragon Balls that are Earth alive and he's in a ton of pain right now. Just hang on, Piccolo.'

Bardock flew until he saw the remains of the Ginyu Force and soon saw the spaceship. He walked inside and set Piccolo down as he gave Piccolo the potion that he received from Scrix earlier. The potion worked, but Piccolo didn't regain consciousness.

'I guess you've lost a lot of blood,' thought Bardock. 'Just rest. I just hope Kakarot's not acting like an idiot and giving Freeza any chances to redeem himself.'

Minutes passed and soon, Bardock was blinded by a bright light. When it faded, the earth shook a little. He then realized that the planet was becoming unstable.

"Damn!" said Bardock. 'He must have used the Death Ball! I hope Kakarot's alright! I also pray that my grandson's found Bulma.'

Just then, Gohan comes to the spaceship with Bulma holding on to him. They land as Bulma freaks out.

"G-Goku?!" said Bulma. "But I thought you were fighting Freeza!"

"Bulma, that's not my dad," said Gohan.

"My name is Bardock," said Bardock. "Pleased to meet you, Bulma. I am Kakarot's father."

"Oh," said Bulma as she noticed that Bardock had a tail. "You have a tail!"

"What's wrong with that?" said Bardock.

"There used to be a moon back on Earth before Piccolo blew it up," said Gohan. "He had to blow it up to keep me from transforming when I had a tail."

"I see," said Bardock. "No wonder our people sent him to Earth while he was still a baby."

"It was still cruel what your people did," said Bulma.

"He would had died if he remained on Planet Vegeta though," said Bardock. "What the scientist did was a good move on your planet's part. Kakarot was saved from Freeza when the planet was destroyed. I was captured though before I was rescued after 30 years. If he hadn't of been sent to Earth, he would had died and your planet would had been destroyed."

"It's starting to make sense now," said Bulma. "I'm sorry that I accused you of such a thing a long time ago."

"Dad!" cried Gohan. "I don't sense his energy anymore!"

"Neither do I," said Bardock. "But Kakarot's supposed to defeat him!"

"I'm going to stop Freeza," said Gohan.

"No! Don't Gohan!" said Bulma.

"He's going to follow me back to Earth," said Gohan "Besides, I'm a Saiya-jin too and I think it's only fair if I go back and fight Freeza."

"I'm coming too," said Bardock.

"Are you two nuts?" said Bulma. "You're going to leave me here with Piccolo!"

"So?" said Bardock after Gohan flies off.

"He's killed Goku and he's a giant creep," said Bulma.

"Well, he's your problem then," said Bardock as he flies after Gohan.

As they fly at fast speeds, Gohan spots Freeza and Bardock and Gohan both stop before him. Freeza was surprised.

"Ah, so the two remaining Saiya-jin have come to play," said Freeza as he powers down to 50%. "I'll try to make your deaths as painful and quick as possible."

"Shut-up, Freeza," said Bardock as he flies at Freeza. Gohan follows suit and they attack Freeza from both sides. Gohan manages to punch Freeza in the face while Bardock punches Freeza from behind. Freeza managed to grab Bardock's tail and squeeze it. However, something happened.

"Grandfather!" said Gohan.

Bardock's tail came off as he felt very unstable in the air for a moment or so. Freeza was surprised that the strangest thing just happened. Bardock laughs as he realizes he doesn't have a weakness anymore.

"I guess you can't hurt me," said Bardock. "I suppose after all of those terrible squeezes you gave it, the tail just got loosened up on my spine and decided to come off on it's own."

"Damn you Saiya-jin!" said Freeza as he knocks Bardock and Gohan into the ground. Bardock manages to grab Gohan before Freeza fires an energy blast at the ground. Soon, Bardock and Gohan were defeated.

"We're doomed," said Gohan.

"Now, it's time I make you two extinct," cried Freeza.

'Kakarot, I'm sorry I failed you,' thought Bardock as he squeezed his eyes shut tightly.

Suddenly, a golden glow is seen inside of the water. Bardock opened his eyes as he and Gohan see Goku rising out of the water. Goku no longer had his shirt on and his pants were torn to shreds. Freeza was surprised that Goku was still alive.

"Dad!" said Gohan.

"Kakarot!" said Bardock. "You're alive!"

"I thought I told you two to leave this planet," said Goku.

"But dad-" said Gohan.

"Now go!" yelled Goku. "You're putting your lives in danger by staying here!"

"I don't care," said Bardock as he starts getting angry. "I am not going to leave you here to die with Freeza on an unstable planet which is barely hanging on as we speak."

Bardock felt the rage inside him starting to boil. His love for his son was starting to show as his hair started to flash again. Gohan was shocked as Bardock's eyes began to change in an aqua-color like Goku's.

"No!" cried Freeza as he floats back. "Not another one!"

Bardock yells as the transformation is complete. Gohan leaves quickly as Goku stares in awe of his father's transformation. The blood that once flowed down Bardock's face disappeared as he felt unimaginable power coursing through his veins. Freeza was horrified.

"Now, there are two Super Saiya-jins!" said Freeza.

"Kakarot," said Bardock as Goku stood there. "I want to help you. Besides, I want to kill him for killing others. He cannot be forgiven for what he's done to not only our people, but to the entire universe."

"Dad," said Goku. "I think he deserves to live. Live with the shame that he'll be beaten by two Super Saiya-jins!"

--------------------------------------------

CMG: Whew! That took 30+ minutes for me to write! I'm pretty fast if you ask me. Oh, and I decided since some people wanted to see Bardock become a Super Saiya-jin, I thought I should add that in. At first, I was thinking he would become one back on Earth, but hell. He has a pretty big grudge on Freeza, don't you think? So, now Bardock and Goku will both fight against him on a disappearing planet. Later.
