Unexpected Fate
Chapter 16
Scrix: You are an idiot. (hits CMG in the head) Did you forget that Bardock's Number 1 Fan was a girl?
CMG: Well excuse me, you royal pain in the side, but I'm not the one swinging a staff at a person who's writing this story. Geez! Why in the hell did I give you that thing anyway? It's giving me a headache!
Karis: Maybe you should start adding us into the story again so we can encourage the fans to read more.
CMG: I'm getting to that after I say the disclaimer. Okay. I don't own anyone in Dragon Ball Z. End of the story.
Scrix: (swings staff at CMG, but she ducks) Oh, so you're dodging now, huh?
CMG: Yeah, after all of those hits your staff's been giving me, I wonder why it hasn't been broken yet? (Scrix manages to knock out CMG and the staff gets a dent in it)
Scrix: Karis, you better warm up the fire. It's going to be a long night.
Karis: CMG only owns us and Infr. Let the story begin!

A week after Goku and Bardock returned home, they managed to get to know each other better. Bardock proved that he was slightly stronger than Goku and managed to win several spars with Goku. However, Goku managed to win a few every now and then. One day, the two were calling it a day when a light shines in the sky to the north. Wondering if it was any danger, Bardock and Goku set off to find out what it was.
"I wonder if it's the androids," said Goku.
"After what Trunks said, I think you might be right," said Bardock. "I don't know why they would be early though."
"Wait," said Goku as he felt a familiar presence. "I recogize that energy. It must be Scrix and Karis."
"What are they doing here?" said Bardock.
"I have no idea," said Goku. "Maybe we should find out."
"Right," said Bardock.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Goku and Bardock noticed a house in the middle of the forest. They walk inside and see Scrix and Karis looking at something floating in the air. Goku and Bardock both look up and were shocked.
"Vegeta?!" said Goku as they see him pretty beat up; suspended in the air asleep.
"He's not really here," said Scrix. "We're watching him here. Sorry we frightened both of you. We've been thinking about giving Vegeta help to become a Super Saiya-jin by giving him a vision."
"Why?" said Goku.
"In three years Kakarot, your life will be endanger," said Scrix. "I cannot reveal anymore information than that."
"I understand," said Goku.
"So, how is the Prince going to become a Super Saiya-jin?" said Bardock. "Can you tell us that?"
"Yes," said Scrix. "In about 2 1/2 years in space, he and his spaceship will be endanger. It is when he's about to give up when that power inside him will awaken for the first time."
"Amazing," said Goku. "I won't tell him."
"I doubt you'll be able to since he's not going to be on Earth for much longer," said Scrix. "Anyway, why don't you spend the night here. You seem tired."
"Sure," said Goku as his stomach started to growl. "And can I have something to eat? I'm hungry."
"Huh?" said Bardock as he heard a growl coming from his stomach as well. "I thought I wouldn't need anything to eat anymore!"
"Well, since you're on Earth now, you can eat as much as you want," said Scrix. "Karis, do you mind doing the honors?"
"Very well," said Karis as she raised her hand into the air and slammed it down as a table full of food appeared in front of the two Saiya-jin men. There was food from across the world as the two quickly ate everything in sight within minutes. After that, the table vanished with the scraps on it.
"Talk about your vanishing tables," said Goku.
"That was very nice," said Bardock as he burps. "Excuse me."
"Now, do you wish for a bed?" said Scrix.
"Not yet," said Bardock. "I want to know something."
"What is it?" said Scrix.
"How did you meet your mate?" said Bardock.
"Well, it happened a long time ago," said Scrix.
*** Flashback ***
On the Planet Zeal, two rampaging Oozarus tore through the hot jungles as the people of that planet ran. The people looked humanoid, but had light purple skin (like the Supreme Kai) with elf ears. After the moon setted, the two Oozarus returned to normal as the village burned to the ground. When the man in normal Saiya-jin armor came to, he found the other person who transformed not far from where he fell asleep. It was a young woman. She wore the remains of some Saiya-jin armor along with a mysterious silver choker around her throat. A beautiful stone that glowed like the moon was inside of the center of the choker as the woman stirred.
/"When I met Karis, I felt something inside me telling me that she was the one for me,"/ said Scrix as he told his story. /"Back then, she didn't have any white streaks in her hair. It came after our a fierce battle on the Planet Wexit..."/
"Watch out men," said a guard as a younger Scrix and Karis fire blasts at the soldiers. They were reptiles that were looked like alligators.
"Whatever you do men, don't give them any ground," said another man. "Those Saiya-jin are ruthless and works for Chiller."
"We do as we please," said Karis as she fires a blast at the guards. "Give up."
/"We didn't know why we were following orders for Chiller,"/ said Scrix. /"However, that day was the last day we did. For what was to happen to Karis drove me to the edge..."/
"Monkeys," said Chiller's cold voice as they turned to see him.
"Lord Chiller," said Scrix. "We thought you were on your planet, my lord."
"Not really," said Chiller as he grabs Karis. "You see, I found out that not so long ago, you've became the golden warrior. I'd like to see it. If not, the girl dies."
"Karis!" cried Scrix as he goes Super Saiya-jin.
"Impressive," said Chiller. "But, since you've violated the rules of becoming stronger than me. After I kill your mate, you'll die."
With one blast, Karis' hair changed a bit as the white streaks appear in her hair. Scrix ran to her side and lifted her up. She had blood running down her forehead as he sneered at Chiller. His mate was dying.
"S-Scrix... please... don't die..." said Karis as she kisses him on the lips for the last time.
"Karis, don't leave me..." said Scrix.
"You... must... avenge me... Sc..." said Karis as she went limp in Scrix's arms. He lowered her back to the ground as his body started to shake violently. His tail snapped in the air as a growl emitted from his throat. Her blood covered his hands as he yelled a fierce cry to the heavens above and was struck down by lighting. However, when the lighting passed, there stood Scrix in his ascended form.
"What?!" said Chiller as Scrix looked at him coldly.
"For my mate," said Scrix in a cold voice. "I will avenge her death by killing you!"
In one punch, Scrix punched through his back as Chiller spat out crimson blood. As Scrix pulled Chiller's body away from his fist, Chiller attacked Scrix for the pain he caused.
/"After many hours,"/ said Scrix as Karis held his hand gently in hers, /"I began to gain the upper hand. Finally, it came down to the final blow..."/
Scrix looked in the red sky as the fire burned around them. Chiller was breathing hard as he felt weakened greatly from the battle that he went though with Scrix. Chiller wiped the blood that lined his mouth as he smirked.
"So, Scrix," said Chiller as he gazed into Scrix's eyes, "I suppose you want fame and fortune after all you've done. If you spare my life, I will give you anything you want."
"Anything?" said Scrix as he raised his eyebrow.
"Yes," said Chiller as he coughed up more blood. "You can have anything you want. Just say it and it's yours."
"Your wrong," said Scrix as he grabs Chiller by the neck. "You've taken what I had. You've taken away my mate and for that, I cannot forgive you."
In one final blow, Scrix blasted Chiller's body. After that, he wept for the woman he loved and buried her. Taking the choker off of her neck, he left the planet in the spaceship he came in.
*** End Flashback ***
"...and that's why Freeza's ancestors were cruel," finished Scrix.
"Scrix," said Karis. "Do you still have my choker after all of this time?"
"No," said Scrix. "I lost it in the battle against his sister, Frost. She blasted it to pieces, but I managed to save the small stone that was within the choker."
Bardock and Goku watched as he pulled out a beautiful stone out of his armor and Goku gasped. He gave it to Karis, who then cried into his chest. Bardock was disgusted by the scene and left the house as Goku followed his father outside. Goku found Bardock sitting on what remains of a stone wall that was built a long time ago.
"Dad?" said Goku. "What's wrong?"
"The way they were acting reminded me of how I was towards your mother, Kakarot," said Bardock. "I miss her so much that I wish she were still alive."
"You miss her?" said Goku.
"Yes," said Bardock. "She means the world to me and the way Scrix told me his tale reminded me of how passionate I was to her when we mated."
"I see," said Goku. "You have to remember that the past is gone. I know right now, she's looking over both of us and hoping that after our life on Earth is over, we would be reunited."
"I doubt that," said Bardock as he throws kicks a loose rock that was on the ground. "You'll both be in heaven while I'll be in hell paying for my crimes."
"Don't say that," said Goku as he tried to reassure his father. "You've changed your ways, didn't you?"
"Yes and no," said Bardock. "I've changed after Freeza, but I'm still a ruthless killer."
"Well, you'll change," said Goku. "Just wait and see."
"I really doubt I will," said Bardock.
"Come on dad," said Goku as he yawns. "We better get some rest. We have another day of training to do tomorrow and we're going to be getting up early."
Bardock nodded his head as the two walked into the house.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Later that night, Bardock wakes up as he noticed Karis standing near the fireplace holding the stone Scrix gave her earlier. She turned towards Bardock, even though he thought she didn't know he was standing there. That made Bardock look at her in shock.
"Bardock," said Karis quietly as she touched his face, "I'm sorry I'm worrying you a bit. I'm alright. It's just that all I've been through in the past made me realize that I cannot go back and change what's happened. I know that you feel the same way about your son, but the fact that Future Trunks came back to the past to save Goku is more of a blessing than a curse. However, he will still die in 3 years."
"What?!" said Bardock as Karis put her finger to his lips.
"Remember Bardock, you cannot change the future," said Karis. "No matter what, it's destined. He will die and there's nothing that you can do to change it. Here."
Karis gave Bardock the stone as she kisses Bardock on the cheek. Then, she leaves the room with Bardock feeling strange. He returns to his room and puts the stone in a small brown pouch that no longer held the Senzu Beans as he falls into dreamless sleep for the first time in months.
--------------------------------------------
CMG: (wakes up slowly) What happened? Is the fanfic over?
Scrix: Yep! We wrote it this time around to fit Bardock's Number 1 Fan's need since she's enjoyed it a lot.
CMG: (reads script) I couldn't have done better myself.
Karis: (burning staff in fire) Scrix, the staff is ready for you to use against CMG again.
CMG: While it's still burning hot?! I don't think so! (runs away)
Scrix: Read and review peeps! (hold the still burning staff) Ah, the comforts of fire. (drools)
Karis: Oh Scrix. (she hugs him) Later!
Chapter 16
Scrix: You are an idiot. (hits CMG in the head) Did you forget that Bardock's Number 1 Fan was a girl?
