Starting from today, we'll take a few chapter long break from the main action in order to tell U3 Bardock's story.

In Freeza's private chamber, we see the tyrant drinking wine and chatting with Dodoria and Zarbon.

'Saiyans' strength is increasing and increasing, Lord Freeza,' Zarbon informs him. 'Although, individually, they remain weaklings compared to many of your henchmen, such as me and my pal, Dodo, let alone you, my lord, their combined power might pose a threat in the future.'

Freeza remains pensive for a while. He has a sip of wine. A little too sour for his taste. Then he takes out his cellphone and writes a memorandum...

Things I have to do today: 1. Switch to another brand of wine, 2. Destroy Saiyans' planet.

'Then those monkeys shall be exterminated,' he says out loud to inform his escort.

'All of them?' Zarbon enquires.

'We shall keep only Vegeta, not King Vegeta, the other Vegeta, the cute, little one, his tutor, Nappa, and Bardock's offsprings,' Freeza answers.

A few moments of silence, during which the three of them are gazing indifferently outside of the window, as if they don't have a single care in the world.

'Guys, do you know what I just realized?' Dodoria exclaims at some point.

A few more moments of silence. Seeing he'll get no reply, the pink fatso continues: 'That, if Zarbon hadn't said that, Freeza wouldn't have decided to exterminate the Saiyans, which is the whole reason that Dragon Ball happened! Dragon Ball would have never taken place! Akira Toriyanma would have never become successful, rich and famous. He would have ended up a depressed, homeless, alchoholic. His wife would have abandoned him. His daughter would have become a hooker and pathetic degenerates would form queues at the brothel she would work at in order to creampie her. In conclusion, all degenerates around the world, such as Hector Fenwick, will now logically curse at Zarbon, since it's because of him that they'll never taste the pussy of Akira's daughter!'

Dodoria stops to take a breath while Zarbon and Freeza keep gazing indifferently outside.

Zarbon's eyes avert to his peer. 'Did you just say something?' he asks casually.

'Nope,' Dodoria answers, taking a totally casual expression as well.

'Dismissed,' Freeza declares and beckons to his henchmen to go away.

As the two of them exit the chamber, Dodoria's eyes widen upon a sudden realization. 'Wait, did Zarbon call me Dodo before?' he asks in his head.

At another chamber, one on Planet Vegeta, Bardock and Hanasia, the former's wife (or girlfriend, or friend with benefits, dunno, such stuff is pretty vague in Saiyans' society) are looking at their son, Kakarrot.

'Heh. He'll become the elitest Saiyan of all, like me,' the woman brags.

'The elitest of all?' Bardock raises an eyebrow provocatively. 'Didn't Gerkin beat you the last time you fought?'

'I was pregnant!' Hanasia snaps.

'Speaking of which, how come the other Hanasia, the one from Salagir's novel, never gets pregnant, despite going at it like a rabbit with no rubber almost in every chapter?' Bardock asks.

'Law of inverse fertility, dude,' Hanasia sighs. 'Google it on Tv Tropes.'

That moment, a nameless servant from an unknown alien race enters.

'Greetings Lord Bardock. Greetings Lordess Hanasia,' he bows. 'Lord Freeza told me to inform you that he will give a chance to your two sons to prove their worth, despite both of them having insignificant power levels, and send them to missions on other planets.' And, after a short silence, he adds, really fast: 'He also told me to stress to you that he's doing this out of generosity and it's not like he is planning to eradicate your kind and wants to keep a handful of Saiyans alive just in case.'

'Okay, noted,' Bardock shrugs.
