Epilogue (Redone)

One Month Later

Bardock watched as Kakarot and Vegeta sparred; both displaying impressive shows of power. Bardock watched as Kakarot charged an energy blast and fired it at Vegeta. Vegeta blocked it, but just barely.

"They're powerful, aren't they? That's only a small portion of their true power. The cave was only a test of their abilities," a voice said from behind Bardock, causing him to jump.

He turned around and saw Gohan smiling at him. "They are very powerful if this is only a small amount of their power," Bardock said, a smile growing on his face.

Vegeta and Goku went Super Saiyan and exchanged a flurry of punches before they broke apart again. Bardock smiled as he watched his son at work. Goten ran up to Bardock, a smile on his face.

"Grandpa, do you want to play?" Goten asked, a smile on his face.

Bardock smiled and looked at Gohan, witg a mischevious grin.

"'Grandpa'? Now that just makes me feel old, Goten!"

Goten laughed and began running around the yard. Bardock followed, running as slowly as he could. Trunks was watching from the house, clearly wanting to join in the fray. Bardock paused, while Goten pulled on his ear. Bardock smiled and placed Goten on the ground as Kakarot and Vegeta landed, smiles on their faces.

"You've improved!" Goku said, with a wide smile.

"You have too, Kakarot," Vegeta replied.

The two Saiyans smiled at each other, then entered the house. Bardock smirked and entered the house with Goten on his shoulders, a happy grin on his face. The inside of the house felt nice, in contrast to the summer heat of the outside.

"Wow, it's pretty hot out there! At least we have air conditioning in here!" Goku said, with a relieved sigh. Bardock face-palmed and observed Goku, a hint laughter dancing in his eyes. Bardock and Chi Chi exchanged exhausted glances, though, there was affection on their faces.

"At least I don't have to go outside again."

Bardock chucked as Chi Chi shuffled Goku outside saying, "You don't have to go outside now, do you?"

"Wait, Chi Chi, what are you doing?!" Goku asked frantically, holding onto the door-frame.

"You said you wanted to go outside again didn't you?" Chi Chi said, teasingly.

"What?! No I didn't!" Goku shouted.

Bardock laughed as he watched Goku being herded out of the house by his wife. He wished he could have seen him grow up. His son looked so happy, running around with the earthlings; a race which he was supposed to destroy, but ended up befriending them. He was happy that his son had not turned out like so many other Saiyans.

Bardock personally felt guilt from all the innocent lives he had destroyed. All of the children he had murdered. He remembered that it was in his blood to kill and felt a nagging sense of anger. He hatedhaving being responsible for so many unnecessary deaths. He shook his head to clear it of these thoughts. This was a peaceful time, he did not want to waste time worrying about the past.

Vegeta must feel some guilt about his past too, right? Bardock thought.

Goku held onto the door frame for dear life, trying not to let Chi Chi push him outside. Though, there was a huge smile on his face. Finally, Chi Chi managed to push him outside.

"What did I ever do to you?!" Goku goaded her, a large smile on his face.

"Because of you, Gohan is a fighter, not an orthopedist!" Chi Chi growled back.

"But he was destined to be a fighter. Nobody could change that. Not you, me, or anyone!" Goku protested.

"Oh well, go fishing or something, just leave the house!" Chi Chi said, exasperated.

"Oh yeah! I'll go fishing!" Goku said, excited, causing Chi Chi to chuckle.

He then walked into the forest, a large smile on his face. Fishing was his favorite thing to do when he was not saving the world from any dangerous adversary. A sudden crash got Goku's attention. It sounded like it came from the direction of his favored fishing spot.

"Not again!" Goku exclaimed, running towards the noise.

That is the final chapter, thank you, RoyalBlueRoses for agreeing to do this.
