-Location unknown-
Gohan flew happily with his dragon friend, Icarus, over their house, while his beloved mother hummed a relaxing song that she used to sing to him when he was nothing but a toddler while she cooked he and his father a meal that even an entire village would have trouble finishing. His father, like always, could be heard as he sparred with Piccolo in the distance.
Suddenly a scream could be heard from the house, Gohan instantly stopped playing with his friend and in the speed of sound, fell from the sky to the front yard and burst through the door of his house, hair on the back of his neck standing, and a fresh coat of cold sweat on him as he saw that all the furniture was destroyed. Old, yellowing family pictures were cracked on the floor, furniture like sofas, chairs and tables were broken in half, and thrown randomly across the house.
Gohan lost his breath when he saw the sight before him and tears began to form around his eyes, he started to run from room to room while screaming - pleading - that his parents could hear him and make it all ok "Mom, dad, where are you please? Please, answer me".
He started to go from room to room, but was greeted by the same sight again and again; the walls' paint was yellow and peeled, the kitchen and his room were wrecked, everything was destroyed and when he finally reached his parents' room he started to feel great dread, like his body already knew what was behind the closed door.
When he started to turn the handle a loud scratch was heard as the door hinges that were beyond rusty opened and he saw a sight that broke him completely, in front of him was his mother's hanged and lifeless body, eyes with a thousand-yard stare and a last sad smile on her face. On the ground beneath the dangling corpse were countless other family pictures, every one of them of his family in union, tears of unknown authorship staining them for eternity.
"Moooooooooommmm!" was the only thing poor little Gohan could scream as he shot a small ki blast to the rope and caught his mother before she hit the ground, he started to cry into her chest as snot and tears started to stain her chest, the only thing that could be heard from him was crying or a "why?" here and there.
Suddenly he heard a great explosion in the distance and could feel his mentor and first real friend's energy skyrocket, but not his father's for some reason, he gently set his mother on the ground while shedding one last tear in her direction as he started to head out of the house towards his friend.
When he got out of his house he could only watch as the great forest the once surrounded it withered away and died, every dead branch holding bloody clothes of humans, he started to fly faster taking in everything that was going on, until Gohan stopped half of the way to see something that could only be described as true madness. He already had lost his voice, and thus could not scream, he could do nothing but fall to his knees as he saw a river that he and his father once used to swim together in was tainted by the blood of his friends.
He saw everyone that he considered a friend, even Vegeta, mangled bodies', bones and body parts were scattered around the area and the only thing recognizable were their horror striking faces that floated as they painted the once pure blue water red. Suddenly he could feel Piccolo's energy take a nosedive and he knew that whatever did that to his friends was currently fighting the one of the only two friends he had left.
Again he took off to the direction of his friend, recognizing the way to where he once started to train with him for the saiyans' arrival, when he reached the area he saw his father's body laid face down on one of the many mountains in the area, when he searched his energy and couldn't feel it he started to call for him "d-daddy?" Gohan started to shake him trying his best to wake him up, and when he turned his father to face him he started to feel himself having the urge to throw up as he gazed at his progenitor.
Where his heart was supposed to be, there was a bloody hole in the size of a fist, Gohan could only silently scream as he looked at his father. Suddenly, something crashed behind him with a scream "G-Gohan r-run" he heard Piccolo saying weakly as Gohan started to run in his direction to give him a hug in hope of shielding his teacher from the unknown threat like he once did every time they were in trouble.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" a feminine cruel voice was heard behind Gohan, as Gohan looked back at the voice suddenly Piccolo screamed one last time before being forever silenced by the cold clutches of death, as a light and a burning smell started to manifest behind him.
With both their hand outstretched and a smirk on their faces, two beings stood in front the broken spirited Gohan, one was a beautiful girl that looked like she was in her late teens she had blond silky hair that wasn't very long and reached her shoulders, her eyes like her twin were ocean blue, her twin was a boy that like her had the same pale skin tone and hair style, only black in color.
Gohan could not believe what he saw, he fell to his knees as the murderers mocked him "oh, look at that. The kid seems lost and all alone-" the boy laughed as his cold calculating eyes sized up Gohan, making him tremble and soil his pants.
"And to think if he was faster, stronger and more experience he could have stopped it-" the blonde in the same empty voice and stare continued her brother's speech, as their shadows combined and started to rise from the ground and take form to a being that was black as the shadow he came from masking all his features but his form.
"well, no matter, because our fun has only begun-" the being took the form of a big bug that walked on two limbs and had huge wings on its back and a pointy tail that wiggled behind it, he didn't have any facial features but as his head looked downwards towards Gohan, he knew instantly that like the twin monsters before him took great joy in his torment, so did it.
"And it will never end" with that Gohan let out one final scream as the shadowy creature was upon him and speared him on his tail where his heart was supposed to be.
-A day after, 5:00 am-
Raditz woke up from discomfort, not because his bed wasn't soft or he was cold, but because he felt how the stranger in the room felt, a mind numbing migraine racked through Raditz and he felt great fear and sadness in his chest, the only thing that stopped him from crying his eyes out was his saiyan pride.
"Crap baskets, my aching head" cried little Raditz as his gaze fell upon the stranger "just who is he?" Raditz asked himself as he came to a conclusion that maybe he was a distant relative or a cousin he never met 'Dad did say he had a twin brother named Turles, but that is the only thing I heard about him. Maybe it's his son, which means he is a part of the pack" Raditz took a blanket and a pillow from his bed and laid beside Gohan snuggling close to him to give him more comfort and to show him that his pack was there for him to help him deal with whatever he may go through.
-7:00 am-
Bardock started waking up after a night of passion with his mate, when he raised from his bed he looked to his left at his little dresser that only held their armors and a picture of king Vegeta that behind him stood first and second class proudly while the third still didn't have the right to wear the new armors and still wore animal fur while they cleaned the bodies of the former occupants of Vegeta.
Bardock quickly put upon himself his infamous battle armor that earned him the nickname the "battlefield snake" for his fast thinking and tactics in the battle ground, he took a glance at the picture and snarled "that king of ours will be the death of us all" thought Bardock, as he still remembered how from his point of view their so called almighty ruler sold his race to slavery to Frieza's empire.
Suddenly two arms embraced him from behind and he could hear giggling behind him, "Leaving, are we? I'm hurt I still remember how you couldn't get enough of me, and ravage me like the beast that you are" said the voice as Bardock started to get aroused.
"Is that so?" said Bardock as he in the blink of an eye pinned his wife to the bed and started to make out, he started with one hand caressing her swollen breast as with the other he slipped a finger into her hot entrance.
Gine let out a moan as she started to feel the mind-numbing touch of her mate, she started to prod his mouth with her tongue asking for entry and Bardock complied, opening and meeting her tongue with his, the world around them became nothing but a blur as they lost each other with the pleasure of the flash.
"Bardock, please give it to me" Gine pleaded, wanting to feel his hot saiyan rod inside her going in and out, in and out.
Bardock started to play with his armor wanting to get out of it as fast as he could, while Gine started grinding her crotch against his in a circular manner making him more restless to mark his mate as his own like he did every night, only to suddenly hear hard knocks from the door, such a thing frustrating him to no end.
"Bardock, you lazy bum, open the door" Fasha's voice could be heard from the door only knocking harder on it.
"I swear, one day" Bardock started to grumble as his team mate destroyed the mood, Gine started to wiggle out of Bardock grasp and out of the bed towards the dresser giving him a smirk as she swayed her hips teasing Bardock.
"Fine, fine just shut your goddamn meat hole!" Bardock screamed as he went from the living room towards the entrance of the house to greet his team mates.
As he opened the door he saw Toma and the rest of the boys giving him a thumbs up while Fasha just smirked, it was clear that they now about Bardock and Gina little naughty adventure in the morning, "Ok, I give you all five seconds to tell me why you came here to disturb me in this hour" Bardock said as began getting impatient.
"Did you already forget about the kid?" Toma asked as he and the rest made their way inside.
"Shit, I kind of did" Bardock said as he scratched his neck from embarrassment, "now before we start I think I need to tell you something first" Bardock said as Gine went to check out on her son and the stranger.
"Well, out with it" Fasha already losing her patience said as the rest of the group found their own corner in the room to sit on.
"I don't know how, but the boy is somehow connected to my pack, and before you start he is not my nephew or a distant relative I never met, the bond that we share feels like what I have with Raditz and Gina" the news hit everyone in the room like a space pod.
"So you say that the kid is actually your grandson, but that is impossible to accept, that is like saying time travel is possible." Said Shugesh, as he started to scratch his head, trying to find an answer for his leader's predicament.
"Well, let's say we believe the kid and he really is you're supposed grandson, why not ask him on how he got here? I mean, I think it's kind of awesome to meet your future descendant like that" said Toma as he rose up and started to walk to Raditz's room.
"Toma, you can't possibly believe that shit" said Fasha as she didn't believe a word that came out of Bardock.
"I just want to, I mean if Bardock thinks that the kid belongs to his pack, what else could it be, everybody in the room knows that no power in the universe can duplicate the same feeling a saiyan pack gives".
"aaaaaahhhhhhh" they heard a scream that belonged to Bardock's suppose grandson and instantly ran to Raditz's room
-Castle Vegeta, throne room-
Behind closed doors, King Vegeta sat on his throne. He was restless, his son was supposed to be delivered to Frieze in a month and no matter what he did or said he couldn't overrule Frieze's word; doing so would be seen as an act of rebellion.
"Father, I want to train, ever since you and lord Frieze met a couple of weeks ago you stopped training me, speaking to me, and you can't even look me in the eyes, what's wrong?" five year old Vegeta said as he felt rejected and hurt from his father behavior, it was like he didn't even exist anymore.
The king was angry at the universe, at the world and at himself. He knew how his son looked up to him seeing him as the strongest saiyan to ever exist since the legend, but he didn't understand that as the years would pass he would only get weaker from his age, he would be pushing sixty eight in a month and he never felt more helpless.
"My son, come here" the king said in a voice full of compassion and warmth, a voice he would only make for his precious son, the son that from age zero saw nothing more than the next legendary super saiyan with pride.
Vegeta walked closer, opening his arms, seeking his father's love and giving him a hug.
'I promise, my son, even if I need to set the galaxy asunder I will find a way to protect you from the clutches of frieze' the king silently vowed to himself as suddenly in the middle of the room an explosion could be heard while blinding lightning danced in the room for a couple of seconds before it stopped completely leaving behind a small crater in the palace floor and in the middle a bag with the logo of the capsule corporation.
-Raditz room, 07:30 am-
While Gohan suffered from his nightmares, little Raditz snuggled close to Gohan inhaling his scent and by that accepted him as a pack member 'I sure hope that he's friendly, I always wanted a big brother' Raditz thought as Gohan started to wake up.
"Damn, my head" Gohan bitterly said, feeling completely spent and unusually weak for some reason like he didn't train for years.
"So, you are finally awake" said a voice to Gohan's right when he looked at that direction he found Gine staring at him with her arms crossed.
Gohan wanted to respond but a furry thing latched to his face suffocating him, when he pried it away from him he saw that he held a little kid in his arms that had probably just given him a hug, when he started to take in his features his face started to lose all colors and he let him down, "Hello, my name is Raditz. Nice to meet you, cousin" squeaked little Raditz beaming a smile.
"Aaaaahhhhhh" screamed Gohan as Bardock and his team barged into the room wanting to find out what was all the commotion about only to find a confused Raditz and Gine and a fainted Gohan on the floor.
Bardock could only sigh, 'it's going to be one of those days isn't it?'
