Bardock could only stare at the namekian, Piccolo, who had knocked out his two best mates
"Damnit…"
Piccolo kicked away the unconscious Fasha, turning to Bardock
"Just so you know, I'm also well aware of your Great Ape form"
"W-what?!"
Piccolo created a ball of ki, "I could either destroy you or the moon. It would be quite easy really. You're outmatched here, may as well give up and come with me, get off this planet, or die trying to beat me." It wasn't a statement or invitation. It was fact and Bardock knew it.
For the first time since he found Frieza's power, he felt a pang of fear in him. Was this guy stronger than even Frieza?!
"How… how can you exist!?"
"Training" Piccolo shrugged "I've come back from Death once too"
"So you have immort-"
"No, no, I was just lucky" Piccolo quickly corrected him.
Bardock could only rage. No, he couldn't die here, he still had to confirm his son made it. He still needed to make sure Frieza would pay!
"Aarrrggh! You're not getting in the way of me finding my son! Perish!"
Before the words registered to Piccolo, Bardock suddenly rushed at him, grappling with him
"What the-!?"
While he knew he wouldn't be easily hurt, he was caught off guard as the Saiyan punched him and launched him into a hill with a ki blast. Rising up, he missed a punch aimed at him before fighting with the Saiyan, trading blows
"I am Bardock, and I won't just be beaten!"
The tenacity of this guy was something else, Piccolo could tell… while being pummeled. Where did this power come from!?
By now he had resorted to blocking the Saiyan's punches. He needed an out somehow, so he decided to lead Bardock off into a forest…

"Don't worry, I'll get you and Tora somewhere safe…."
"Ugh…. please tell me you're still a good ass medic? I'd hate for your skills to have rotten with your softie husband…"
Gine layed Fasha on a tarp before flying towards Tora's direction. She had never seen her comrades so beaten since their early days. Now that freakish Namekian seemed to be trashing them…
Coming to where Tora had landed, she saw him sprawled on a tree branch, chest plate destroyed and his chest bruised, while the Saiyan himself was spouting nonsense.
"C'mere Tora, let's get you up…"
"Okie Dokie Lonnie, I'll… I'll be up soon…. I just… need-"
Gine picked the babbling Saiyan, struggling to drag the bigger saiyan with her in the air. Still, she managed to bring him down to where she had laid Fasha. Using makeshift materials, she covered their wounds. Hoping for the best, she flew off in the direction she had seen Bardock and the Namek fly off to…

"Haaah!"
"Gragh!"
Dodging Piccolo's elongated arms, Bardock jumped from tree to tree, blocking each attack
"You're pretty good slug face! I bet you my tail I'll win!"
"That's a bet I'm willing to take!" Piccolo said as he landed a blow on Bardock, destroying the abdominal plate of the Saiyan, and breaking his concentration. Bardock doubled over
"You won't get the best outta me!"
Piccolo dodged and sent Bardock falling down to the Forest floor. Dropping down, Piccolo went for a stomp, but the Saiyan dodged the attack, getting back up, they went back into a super fast fist fight. As fatigue got to Bardock, Piccolo gave him an uppercut, sending him into one of the thicker trees with a loud crash
"AAgggh!"
The Saiyan slumped over, defeated
"You… you won't… get away with this."
"You'll find I tend to find one." Piccolo retorted. Soon he sensed a weak power, one of the other Saiyans?
A Saiyan woman, way different from the woman he had beaten stopped infront of Bardock, taking a defensive stance
"G-Gine… you can't take him..stay… back…"
"I can't!" She replied "I can't leave you to face him alone!"
"You know he's right." Piccolo added
Gine made a frustrated face, "Even if it means one of us dies, we're getting out of here to find our son, Kakerrot!" She screamed
Piccolo narrowed his eyes, of course it had to be Goku….
"Oi, you said Kakerrot?"
Gine and Bardock looked up at him
"Just so happens I know the guy"
The saiyan's eyes widened, shock and surprise over took them
"Y-you know Kakerrot?!" Bardock cried
"Yeah. I can get him to meet you too… Just go back and get the other two."
Bardock grimaced "And how do I know-"
"-you can trust me? You don't, but if it's for him, I can bring you to him. Meet me at this forest with the others, I'll bring you to him."
Bardock seemed frustrated, but…
"Bardock! I know it seems foolish, but we must trust him!"
Both Bardock and Piccolo stared at her, before she helped Bardock up
"Fair warning, whatever expectations you have of your son might be… way different than what will really happen!" Piccolo shouted as they flew away…

"But he's the best lead for our son!"
Bardock and the now awakened others just sat there. They had taken to a river just incase they got caught in the now-destroyed pub in their weakest
"Like hell he'd actually help us. He's probably scamming" Fasha warned, nursing a sore arm
"He knocked us to shit and now he offers to help you find your son? I find that hard to believe" Tora said "I mean I've heard Namekians are usually helpful to other species, but it seems this one is quite the hard hitter…."
Bardock hadn't said a word, still staring at the stream
"We'll go"
"Huh!?" his two teammates said. Meanwhile his wife just smiled
"We should see what this leads to. Not like we have a choice. We might bump into someone as strong as him…"
Somehow, he was right. The other Saiyans rose up and together flew to where Piccolo had said. Bardock and Gine flew together, his wife gripped his hand
"For Kakerrot" She said. Bardock could telll she was desperate to find him. He was too, but he was worried she was too desperate to see their son….

"Alright, wait here. I'll bring them over. Looks like they're training…"
Piccolo had taken the group to a creek near where he and two others had seemed to train. Hard to see shapes flew above them
"Hey Goku, I got something to show you!"
"Oh hey Piccolo, what ya got? I can sense you brought some people."
"Yeah, they said they knew you." Goku flew down, and together walked with Piccolo "Son, wait there, I won't be long!"
"Alright dad!"
"Actually you can come along." Piccolo said. The two saiyans nodded before following Piccolo through the forest
"So who're these strangers?"
"They're uh… just promise not to attack them" Piccolo said. Ofcourse he had to help with this
As they got to the creek, Goku and Gohan's eyes laid upon a group of Saiyans
"What!? More-!"
Right as they took battle stances, Piccolo stopped them
"They said they were looking for you"
"Oi slug face, whe-"
Bardock and Gine stopped what they had been doing, their breaths caught as they saw the figure with Piccolo. Bardock was stuck in pure shock, but Gine rushed at him, surprising Goku with a hug
"Kakerrot!"
"K-Kakerrot!"
Goku stared confused, who were these people?!
