Chapter 2

He was back on planet Vegeta. It felt good to be home. He didn't know exactly how he knew that it was Vegeta, after all, he had only been there as a child. Yet he knew he was on Vegeta. He must have been reliving his father's memories! He didn't know how he came to that conclusion, but it just seemed to make sense.

He was standing in the middle of a lush garden with large plants bearing fruit.

"Ah, excellent. They're almost ready."

A voice sounded from across the garden.

"Whatcha workin' on, dad?"

"Hmm? Oh! Raditz! These are those plants I told you about." The voice was that of the mystery man's, but it was coming out of Goku's mouth. The small boy appeared to be his brother, Raditz. Granted, he was a lot younger than when they last saw him, but it was Raditz, all right. He had the hair.

"Really? What do they do?"

"Well, if you can't remember after me having told you the first time, I doubt you'll remember now."

"Aww. C'mon, dad." Dad!? But if Raditz was calling this man his father...

"All right, all right. I can never say no to my boys." Raditz let out a toothy grin.

"Well, son, these fruits have been enhanced in their vitamin creation process, and I've taken their ability to expel these used nutrients, so that they maintain all of their nutrients throughout the growing process. Are you with me so far?" Raditz Nodded.

"Good. Also I've made it so that the different parts of the plant have been divided up into different sections lined with a protective agent to delay the stomach acids from breaking them down. Different parts have different thickness, so they will begin to be broken down day after day.

I've made the plants big enough and packed with enough vitamins so that if you eat one of these, you won't have to eat anything else for another Three months!"

"And, what's the red syrup for?"

"That? Oh, that's just for flavor."

"Wow, dad, you sure are smart. Has anybody displayed any interest in it?"

"Well, the military might have wanted it, but they said it doesn't make you feel full. I did get an offer from someone from a planet called Earth."

"By who?" "Some person who calls himself 'King Yemma'. Sounds a little crazy, if you ask me."

"Wow, dad, you're amazing. Even on this day, you're still working hard to support us."

"Hmm? What's so special about today"

"'What's so special'!? Today's you're award ceremony for your most famous invention! Don't tell me you forgot!"

"Hmm. Ah, yes! The ceremony! Yes, that artificial moonlight was one of my more ingenious inventions, wasn't it? Well, then, I guess I'd better be going. Come on, son."

"Umm. dad?" "Yes?" "You're not planning on going in your Pajamas, are you?"

"Hmm?" Upon looking down, he discovered that he was indeed wearing Pajamas. "Whoops! I guess I'd better go change, shouldn't I?" They both began to laugh.

Bardock gaped at the strange, blue, scaled, being standing before him. Suddenly, with lightning speed, he jumped into the air and landed behind Bardock and delivered a savage blow into the base of his skull, jarring all his body. Bardock collapsed.

Bardock was floating in space, yelling at Frieza to come out and fight. Frieza emerged, and Bardock relived his supposed death.
