AN: I made a few minimal changes to the first chapter that and added a
little more description to certain areas. I didn't do more for reasons
explained below.
Arthain: Gohan knew about Bardock from Vegeta when he learned the Saiyan language and traditions. We know that Vegeta knew about Bardock because he told Kakarot that he was going to be defeated by a move his father created when he used the moon technique in their first fight. Also thanks for your advice and I hope you keep telling me my mistakes. Be blunt. I appreciate it.
'thoughts' "talking" ~Bond~ /telepathy/
Walking down the halls with the King (I'll use K Vegeta from now on and when our Vegeta is born he'll be P Vegeta) Gohan thinks of ways to put his plan into action. 'I can't just let them die. But then again I don't want to have to kill him myself. They were the ones enslaved by him. They should have the honor. Of course they haven't suffered yet... I have to find Bardock. He looked and felt too much like dad for me to ignore.' (AN: He saw and felt Bardock at the gate before he passed out. And before I forget again Gohan learned to control his Oozaru form in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber by using the moon technique. His tail had grown back but Goku cut it off as soon as he saw it when they left the room not knowing that Gohan had learned to control himself. Gohan didn't really mind that much and would have cut it off after the Cell Games anyway since even though he can control the form, it wouldn't do to transform in a building just because he looked out the window. The only reason he would have kept it for the Cell Games is because a Saiyan is twice as strong with their tail. If you want to know why e-mail me at LunasMeow@aol.com) "Your highness, may I give you any advice?"
"In private you may speak freely, only in public do you need to keep up formalities."
"Perhaps it would be best if you agreed to work for him. I know that you don't like the idea, but it would give me more time to train others. I think you should stall as long as you can and if we still aren't ready, accept. Only for a short time of course, but he won't know that."
"I would prefer not to have to do that, but your counsel makes sense. I'll stall as long as possible, but if need be I'll agree to his terms. No doubt I can stall for a year or two before agreeing and then spend another three or four negotiating the contract. That gives us perhaps six years."
"That should be more than adequate your majesty. I will begin the training immediately. However, if we are to keep the training secret from Frieza, I will need a room with the ability to block out scouters so that he will not sense us. If he notices too many of us getting too strong too quickly, he'll probably blow-up the planet."
"I'll set the scientists on it right away. That Bardock you spoke of, he should be able to help. He is only an average fighter, but he's an excellent scientist. He is the one who created the regen tanks. I'll have a message sent to him to meet you in the docks."
"Thank you your majesty. I'll head that way immediately.
Leaving the palace, Gohan looks around before taking off to the south. On his way he is awed at the amount of Saiyans simply walking around not causing trouble. In fact on a first glance, if it weren't for the power- levels and the tails (not to mention people flying around) it could be mistaken for a city on Earth. People were walking around talking with each other and buying things. Once one looked deeper however, there were very important differences.
While on earth people would be talking about where they were on vacation, these people were talking about those they had defeated in battle. And instead of shopping for clothes and such, the only shops held food and training equipment. Continuing to head south towards the loading bay, he is stopped by a rather large man who looks something like Nappa.
"You were the one sent to find commander Bardock?"
"That's right."
"He and his group are waiting inside."
Walking into the building Gohan walks down the long halls and searches for that familiar-like ki he sensed before. He has to follow several twists and turns and is quite lost before he finds them. (Ki tells you where someone is, but it doesn't take walls and other things like that into account.)
They are in a small square room with a few chairs and a table. It's a bland room as it is only meant for team leaders to brief their team members on their mission objectives. (Since the Saiyans don't work for Frieza yet they don't just go around purging planets all the time, but they do purge occasionally, usually only if they are an enemy or if the said planet has threatened their allies. After all while Saiyans could be extremely smart if they wanted to, they tend to become warriors rather than scientists so they get their technology from their allies.)
Gohan walks into the room noticing the three people, There is Bardock who looks just like his father, a girl who looks a little like Videl, and a large bulky guy. "Commander Bardock? I am Gohan. I'm gonna get straight to the point. You have potential. You could be much more than a mere second- class warrior. The king has asked me to see to the training of several warriors who I believe have potential. You are among them. Of course you would not want to leave your group so I will be training them as well. However, before I can see to your training, I need to see where your strengths and weaknesses are. Therefore I will be joining your team."
"Hold it right there. What do you mean you're joining our team?" says Vasha.
"Well, I don't have any experience at leading so instead of taking command I'll be joining your team. Bardock will remain in command and I will follow his orders as if they were the kings.
"And why is an elite so interested in training Bardock anyway? Why don't you go train your other elites if you're so good." Vasha says.
Unfortunately, some people have more in born talent than others. Everyone can reach the same level of power with training, but some will find it easier than others to reach those levels. Bardock has inborn talent. Others could be trained to the strength I need them to reach, but only someone with inborn talent will reach it fast enough to be of any use. Are there any other questions?
Bardock stands up. "I have one. Just how do you know who I am? You aren't on the databases and I sure don't know you."
Gohan nods his head. "I was wondering if you would ever ask that. Everything will be explained on the way."
"On the way?" Bardock asks.
"Yes. The king has assigned us to clear out planet Velcomm. They have been developing biological weapons that they plan to use against us. We are to go there and clear out all living life forms. Well... all sentient ones anyway." Gohan said.
Gohan and the others begin to head toward the loading bay. "I'll fill you all in on my abilities while we travel. I'll let Bardock decide whether I should work with someone or go handle a quadrant of Velcomm on my own." Getting into the pods, they put in the destination codes for Velcomm and the ships blast off.
AN: I wanted to type up more but I don't have time. The computers were down and this is the first time I had access t it for a while.
