Chapter 2

Kakarot

ˆ±ˆ±ˆ±ˆ±ˆ±ˆ

Bardock held the boy, who he thought was his own son, tightly as he silently cried. Never had he felt this relieved that he was finally able to find his family, well part of it, and this little boy seemed to be as carefree as possible. He wanted to think it was real, but his mind would scream out 'illusion!' making him have doubts about this whole hypothesis for going to the future. But his heart, it stated something totally different...

Looking up to his grandfather, he smiled as Bardock looked back down at him. He too gave a small grin.

"You look like Tousan," said Goten as he smiled up to his grandfather. Bardock could only give a blank stare. 'What was this mumble jumble my 'son' was saying?' he questioned.

Trunks sighed as he looked back to the grown saiyan. He was sure that he would become the translator for this little conversation between the Grandfather and Grandson.

"He stated, 'You look like father'," said Trunks, in the saiyan language, as he continued to sit on the bed. Bardock looked to the young prince blinking, "You... you can speak my language?" he asked.

Trunks nodded, "My dad taught me."

"And who may that be?" he questioned as he looked back down to Goten.

"Vegeta."

Bardock's face became white. He slowly turned back to the prince as he crossed his arms, and he gave off a small smirk, a Vegeta smirk. Any saiyan could recognize the family trademark.

Trunks blinked, "Why do you seem scared?"

Bardock chuckled inwardly, 'And he asks why...' He paused for a moment. The young princes' son... this didn't make sense... He looked back down to Goten. He eyed him suspiciously.

"Kakarot?" he asked.

Goten blinked, then slowly shook his head side to side. He placed his hands to his chest stating, "Goten." He gave the famous Son grin.

"Go-oten?" The boy nodded cheerfully.

"Kakarot is my daddy's saiyan name!" he exclaimed as he looked up to his grandfather. Okay... so Bardock got the Kakarot and saiyan words correct... but the other words made absolutely no sense what so ever. So he turned to Trunks.

"Help?" he asked in his native tongue.

Trunks though for a second, trying to find the right words. "Kakarot... is Goten's-"

"Goten! Trunks!" shouted a voice from down the hall. Both boys gasped as he turned to see someone in the shadows come into view. It was Goku. He saw the boys and smiled," We've been looking all over for you two!"

"TOUSAN!" exclaimed Goten as he ran out of Bardock's arms to his father's and hugged him tightly. Goku smiled, "Hey squirt! What have you two been up too?" he asked. He was still seemed to be unaware of the saiyan who was on the other side of the room.

Goten looked back to his grandfather and pointed toward him, "We found him!" He looked up to his father who saw the man. "Doesn't he look like you?" asked Goten as he looked up to his dad. Looked to Bardock, and gave a small smile. Goku looked back down to Goten before smiling, "Why don't you and Trunks go back to Capsule Corps? Bulma and Chichi have prepared dinner." And at the word that meant 'food' the boy's eyes widened and they bolted out of the room as fast as they could. Goku shook his head as he watched them leave.

As they left his sight, Goku turned to face the older saiyan, his cheerful smile long gone.

"State why you're here, saiyan," commanded Goku as he crossed his arms. Bardock blinked, then growled.

"How should I know? And why are you treating me in such a way? We are of the same race!" he stated. Goku snorted as he stood on the other side of the room eyeing his unknown father.

"You want to know why I ask?" questioned the earth saiyan. He noticed Bardock nod. "I'll tell you why. Every time we have a new saiyan warrior come to this planet, they come to destroy it or take over it." He left his spot at the other side of the room and came closer to the older saiyan. "But, I feel that you are no threat to us. You're too weak to last even a minute against the strongest earth warrior."

Bardock snorted as turned from Goku, "That's nice to know..." he stated sarcastically.

"Why are you here?" questioned Goku.

Bardock shrugged, "I'm not too sure why. I know I've escaped the clutches of Frieza-"

"Frieza?!" Bardock nodded, "How could you have just escaped?! He was killed off years ago!" Bardock snapped his head to the saiyan.

"Killed?" he asked softly.

Goku nodded, "Long story though." There was a tense pause, but when Goku spoke again, his voice was gentler. "So, you were a slave of the villain?" he asked looking to the warrior.

Bardock nodded, "That's how I've come here."

Goku's expression darkens slightly, "So you are here to challenge us."

"No," replied Bardock, "I abandoned the job. I no longer serve him." Goku blinked, "Then why are you here?" He looked around and found a chair not far from the area. He walked to it and took a seat.

"Goten... he looked exactly like my son, but he seems slightly older... There's something about him though..."

"Goten?" asked Goku blinking. Bardock nodded.

"He's my youngest son! And a hyper one at it too," Goku gave a weak smile as he placed his hand behind his head. "You said you were looking for your son?" asked Goku after a moment or so.

Bardock nodded, "His name is Kakarot." Goku's eyes widened three sizes. "I had gotten word that he was transported here for some guards. I was too late to say good bye..."

The older saiyan warrior looked up to Goku, who seemed to be twitching. He blinked, "Do you know him?"

Goku paused. "Know him? A guy named Kakarot?" Goku placed a finger on his chin, "Nope. Sorry!" he placed a hand behind his head as Bardock's expression fell. Goku mentally sighed, 'I know I shouldn't lie... but I don't know if this guy should be trusted... But I do feel bad...'

"KAKAROT!" Goku fell over as a sweat drop fell from the side of his head. 'He couldn't have said it louder...' thought Goku as he noticed Vegeta stepping in the room.

"There you are," the prince crossed his arms. "They forced me to get you." Goku placed a hand behind his head.

"K-Kakarot?!" asked Bardock as he eyed the naïve saiyan. Goku turned to him, giving a weak smile.

"Well, nice to meet you! Bye!" he exclaimed. Bardock was about to leap out of the bed to go after Goku, but he seemed to have vanished into thin air! Bardock blinked, and he looked around.

"Where- where did he go?!" he exclaimed looking around the room, turning to every corner. Vegeta blinked, and blinked again. 'Did I just see... double?!' The prince walked up to the warrior and poked him in the shoulder from behind. Bardock jumped as he felt the finger touch his back. He slowly faced the prince as he crossed his arms trying to wait patiently. The third class warrior gasped as he noticed royalty standing before him, so he bowed respectfully on one knee placing his fist over his heart.

Vegeta was taken back. He hadn't had this much respect since... one... two... in over thirty years! Boy did this boost the prince's ego. He smirked and crossed his arms.

"You may stand warrior." And Bardock stood up, but he had his head bowed slightly in respect.. 'Ooohhhh... I could get use to this!' thought the prince cackling on the inside.
