Saiyan: Rebellion #3
Bardock had just recovered from his last mission, and was heading to a local tavern, The XIII, to talk with Fasha and Tora about his vision. While he was in the recuperation chamber, he'd seen another vision; One of King Vegeta falling at Frieza's hands. "I gotta get to the bottom of this," Bardock thought to himself. Bardock had arrived and saw Fasha was already waiting for him. "Hey, Fash," Bardock greeted his wife. "Hey, Bardock," Fasha returned the greeting. "So, had any new visions lately? Anything about Kakarot," Fasha asked. "No…not of Kakarot. Of King Vegeta," Bardock confessed. "But, I think we should wait for Tora to show up before I go over it," Bardock said. "Well, I suppose you should start then," Tora appeared behind Bardock with a smirk. "Hey, Tora," Fasha and Bardock said in tandem. "Hey, you two. So, you were waiting to tell us about another vision you had," Tora asked. Bardock nodded and took a deep breath. "I saw...," he began. "King Vegeta. He was leading an assault on Frieza's spaceship. "And…," Fasha urged him on. Bardock shook his head. "He died," Bardock finished. "We have to do something," Fasha slammed her hand on the table. "Wait a minute," Tora finally entered the conversation. "Maybe Bardock is just having some weird dreams. I mean…visions of the future? It's a bit out there, ya know," Tora went on. Bardock shook his head again. "This was too real for a dream," Bardock countered. "We have to do something. We have to get to King Vegeta and help him. "Tora, listen. I believe in what I've seen…but that doesn't mean you have to," Bardock admitted. "But I tell you this. I've always been straight with you. I've never given you reason to doubt my word," he finished. Tora then took a thoughtful look on his face, and after a few minutes of silence he said "So, what do you want us to do," with a smirk. Bardock gave a sly smile and Fasha also grinned. "First things first, we need to contact Borgos and Shu," Bardock said. "So, did you hear about those two guys yesterday?" "You mean the ones Frieza killed? Yeah, I heard." Bardock overheard two people talking, and froze up. "The two guys…what did they look like? Was one short and fat? The other tall and white," Bardock calmly, yet tensely asked the strangers. "Yeah, one of the two men said." Bardock gulped. "Thanks," he said before turning back to Fasha and Tora. "What is it," Fasha asked, worriedly. Bardock was silent, a look of disbelief on his face. "Bardock, what is it," Tora asked again. After a long moment, Bardock finally answered. "Shugesh…Borgos…are dead." "Wait…wait, what do you mean," Tora asked in shock. "Frieza killed them…yesterday, when they'd come back…he killed them," Bardock said quietly. No one said anything. Each was silently grieving. It was a long time before anyone said anything. Finally Bardock stood up, and Fasha and Tora looked and noticed a change. It was only for an instant, and if they hadn't been close enough, they wouldn't have noticed it, but for one moment Bardock's eyes seem to turn blue and his hair gained a slight blond tinge. It was for only a minute, but it happened. "Alright. I know what we have to do," Bardock said. Tora and Fasha listened intently. "We need to put an end to Frieza's reign. We can't do it alone. We'll need to get Vegeta's help. And even that may not be enough to help us…but I refuse-"he slammed his fist down on the table, and a few people turned to see what happened. "He'll pay for what he's done…and that's a promise," Bardock finished. "We're right behind you," Tora said standing up. "That's right, we're still a team," Fasha said, joining them. Bardock took a long look at both of them, and nodded solemnly. "Then to the castle," Bardock announced, heading for the door, flanked by Fasha and Tora.
