Chapter 1

"Ha! You think you can destroy ME!?" Frieza shrieked. Krillin just stared. Frieza raised his hand. "Now you DIE!" Frieza shouted. Krillin just stared. He felt himself rising, and energy was building up In his solarplexus. It wasn't his own energy. All of a sudden, the energy snuffed out, and he was surrounded by a blue translucent sphere. "Not today, Frieza." Said a voice unknown to Gohan & Krillin, but known to Frieza very well.

"Well, well, if it isn't my old friend Bardock. I would have thought you died the same as all your other Saiyan friends." "Bardock fixed him with a hard glare. Krillin just stared. "I had no friends on Vegeta. Not after what I tried to convince them of."

Krillin and gohan stared at the man. He looked exactly like goku! Down to even the smallest hair, he looked exactly like goku. "Daddy, is that you?" Gohan questioned. "No, Gohan, it isn't daddy. But we can talk about that later."

Gohan and Krillin both felt a strange energy come over them, and all of a sudden, they were no longer in front of Frieza's cruel stare, they were on an open field, under the man's gaze. "W-Who are you? What do you want with us?" Krillin questioned. "I, personally, want nothing with you, but, you are friend's of my son, so I saved you." "What do you mean? I don't know your son. I'd probably remember meeting him. You're just some Saiyan warrior pretending to know us, so you can kill us!" "Oh, you know my son, all right. Here he comes."

Krillin and Gohan looked up. Goku was coming towards them! But.. he couldn't be who the man was talking about. Goku never knew his father. He only had a grandfather. A million questions burned through Krillin's mind. "Hey, Guys! What's up? I was just-Oh, hello, there. Umm. Who are you?" He asked Bardock. "Son... It's me, Bardock." He said, his eyes beginning to tear up.

"Bardock, Bardock...." Goku said. "That name seems so familiar. Wait a minute! Bardock! You....you're my father! Aren't you! I remember, now!"

"Umm....Goku, you actually know this guy?" Krillin asked.

"Well, not really Krillin, but I know OF him. Hey, dad – It's all right if I call you dad, right" –How'd you survive Frieza? I thought he had destroyed everyone but me, Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa."

"Well, son....For that, you'll have to experience it to know. It'd take too long to explain."

"What do you mean, experience it?" Goku queried.

"Son, do you trust me?"

"Well, sure, I guess. You're my dad, after all."

"Then come over here."

Goku complied and came right up to his father. They were the exact same build, he noticed. Bardock grabbed his son's head, and pulled it toward his own, until their foreheads touched. And then Goku left his body.
