Chapter 15 - Kassava/Bardock (same day)
A/N: In this chapter, I will also be introducing one of the characters, Bardock, that will be really important later in the story.
Kassava
"We are here!" Bulma says.
We look out the window and we see an island with the house that says "Kame House". Hey, that looks pretty cool and it has a homey feeling too.
We land on the island and after that, we get off of the helicopter to follow Bulma straight to the house.
The door is open and so Bulma calls out, "I'm here! And is it okay if I brought some guests?"
"Bulma!" A bald, young teenage boy and an elder man with sunglasses greet. I'm guessing that the young one is Krillin and the older one is Master Roshi.
"Of course! Bring them in!" Master Roshi says.
"Okay," Bulma says before saying the next sentence with a lower, slower, and angry tone, "and by the way, don't play any tricks, you got that?"
I wonder what she meant by that, but I don't continue thinking about that.
"Of course, of course. I would never do that," the guy with the sunglasses replies.
"But anyways, Krillin, Master Roshi. This is Kassava and Been; Kassava is the daughter of Been. Kassava, Been. This is Krillin and Master Roshi," Bulma introduces us to each other.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you guys!" Krillin says.
"It's nice to meet you too, Krillin!" I say.
"It's nice to meet you too. Say, you guys have a nice house," my mom replies.
"Thank you, thank you," Master Roshi says.
"You're welcome," my mom replies.
"Why don't you guys sit down?" Master Roshi says, showing the floor as the seating. We all sit down on the floor, surrounding ourselves around the table in the center.
"So these two were the ones that saved that village a few days ago and there was also two other people as well," Bulma says, talking about us.
"Oh, that was you guys?" Krillin asks us.
"Yeah," both my mom and I reply.
"You guys were really brave out there," Krillin says.
"Kassava had died, but she was revived with the Dragon Balls just like you, Krillin," Bulma says.
"Oh really? Wow, I didn't know that."
"And Mr. Lee, one of the other fighters, was heavily injured. He was kicked in the ribs very severely."
"Oh man, that will take about more than a month to recover. I hope he's okay."
"Us too," I reply.
"We do have these things called the senzu beans, but it's only a secret between us. Once he eats one senzu bean, he will be healed in no time. It's like as if he was never injured," Master Roshi says, "but first, we must get it from someone we know named Korin. He's in a place called the Lookout. He plants senzu beans there." When we heard that, my mom and I both look at each other and we smile very big.
"Thank you so much!" We both reply. We really can't believe it! Gabriel's going to be healed in no time!
"We are really grateful!" I reply. My mom nods in agreement.
"No problem! We love to help!" Krillin responds.
"Yes, of course," Master Roshi responds too.
"I'm so happy for you guys," Bulma says to us.
"Let's go to the Lookout," Master Roshi says before we all get up to go to Bulma's helicopter.
As soon as we are in the helicopter, we put our seat belts on and then, the helicopter starts moving.
"Hey, how old are you guys?" Krillin asks us.
"I'm eighteen. I'm actually the same age as Bulma," I reply.
"I'm forty-two," my mom replies.
"Yeah, I'm the same age as Kassava and wait, you're forty-two years old, Been? You look much younger than that though," Bulma calls out from the driver's seat.
My mom laughs heartily and she says, "Do you really think so? Thank you. How old do you think I look like?"
"I think you look like you are twenty-two."
"Awwww, I wish I was that young, but thank you," my mom says.
"Hey, Krillin, how old are you?" I ask.
"I'm fifteen."
"Man, I remember when I was fifteen," I say, thinking about all the things that had happened when I was fifteen. That was actually three years ago! Man, time flies by really fast, especially when you go back and forth from Planet Earth to Planet Vegeta.
"I wonder how it feels to be eighteen years old," Krillin says.
"Ummmm, for me, I don't feel too much of a difference and I don't know why. Years have went by really quickly for me actually."
"Ah yeah I know what you mean."
"And what about you? How does it feel to be fifteen?"
"Well, I do feel a little older, but not much older yet."
"That was me when I was younger," I say, laughing, "I remember turning like thirteen and I felt a little grown up, but then I realized that I still had a long way to go since I was really young."
"Man, it sucks, doesn't it?"
"It does, it does," I say, agreeing.
There is a little bit of silence before it is my turn to ask a question, "So how long have you been learning how to fight for?"
"I've been learning how to fight since I was four years old and what about you guys?" Krillin says to us.
"Hmmmm, I did it almost my whole life actually," I reply.
"Me too," my mom says.
"Do you guys know any martial arts?" Krillin asks us.
"I do not, but my daughter here does," my mom replies.
"Yeah, I haven't actually learned it till I was eight though," I reply.
"We should all spar one day," Krillin tells us.
"That's a great idea," I reply.
"We're finally here!" Bulma announces and then we all look out the window to see a very very tall tower along with some kind of platform above it. So this is the Lookout and it looks really foreign to me honestly.
"This is also where the Guardian of the Earth, Kami, and his assistant, Mr. Popo live. This is also where Korin lives too," Krillin tells us, "the Lookout is that platform up there and there is also the Hyperbolic Time Chamber on the Lookout. This is where Kami watches the Earth and where Mr. Popo assists him. The tower below it is Korin Tower." Wait, this is where Kami lives? I get to meet him again and my mom gets to meet him for the first time. And this is also where Korin plants the senzu beans. Man, I am so excited for Gabriel to have his ribs recovered!
Bardock
A vision pops up in my mind: there is me and a few other people against Frieza. There is me, Prince Vegeta, my youngest son Kakarot, and two other people in cloaks. Somehow, I don't know who they are. I also don't know the outcome of the fight.
Another vision pops up and Frieza is talking with Zarbon and Dodoria. They are talking about killing all the Saiyans on this planet and this will take place two years from now. They fear that a Super Saiyan will emerge and destroy Frieza.
This is the worst vision in my entire life! I will let my crew know about this and everyone on this planet too!
"Bardock, what happened?" My mate Gine asks me. I realize that I probably had an angry and terrified look on my face.
"I had the worst vision, Gine. Frieza is against us because he wants us killed and me, Kakarot, Prince Vegeta, and two other people in cloaks are in this vision. He fears that a Super Saiyan will come and emerge as the victor against Frieza. We will battle against Frieza two years from now," I reply. Curiosity fills in my mind with this question: who are those people in those cloaks?
Her face goes into shock after hearing what I just said, "What, really? Is this really true?"
"Yes, unfortunately."
"Who are those people that are going to fight with you?" I hear my younger son's voice from a few feet away. I see Kakarot and Raditz, my older son, standing there.
"The only people I know that are there are you and Prince Vegeta. There are three other people, but I don't know who they are since they will be in cloaks," I reply.
"Yeah! I get to fight Frieza!" Kakarot says.
"Yeah and I hope we defeat Frieza," I say, "I have to go warn everybody."
I run out of our home and after that, I keep running and running until I see Tora, my best friend, walking casually around the area.
"Hey, Tora," I say, panting.
"Hey, Bardock. Is everything okay?" Tora replies, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"No. Tora, you gotta believe me. In two years, Frieza is going to blow up Planet Vegeta and he wants to get rid of all the Saiyans on this planet. He fears that a Super Saiyan will emerge," I explain.
"What? How could Frieza do that to us?" Tora says with a really shocked look on our faces, "We need to tell the others."
"Yeah," I say, agreeing with him. We run until we find Fasha's home.
We ring the doorbell and Fasha opens the door.
"Hey, Bardock and Tora. Did anything happen?"
"Yes, Frieza is afraid that a Super Saiyan will emerge and he wants us dead," I reply.
"And this will happen two years from now. We have to warn everybody," Tora adds.
Fasha has a shocked look on her face and then she says, "All that we have done for him and this is what he does to us. Alright, let's go!" We run to Shugesh's home and then to Borgos'. We told them what is going to happen and now, we all form together before going to tell everyone else about this.
While we are running to the bar, where a bunch of Saiyans go to, I tell my crew, "We need to train now more than ever!"
"Right!" I hear my crew say back.
We arrive at the bar and we see a whole bunch of Saiyans. Perfect! Now, we need to tell them about Frieza and hopefully, they believe us.
Everyone starts to stare at us and then, one of the Saiyans asks us, "Is there anything wrong, you guys?"
"Yes, Frieza wants to kill us because is scared that a Super Saiyan will come. This will happen in two years," I reply.
Instead of people being really shocked, they all start to laugh at us. I am feeling a mixture of humiliation and anger. I look around to see that all of my friends feel the same.
"You fools," I say in a lower voice to the laughing people in front of us, "You are all dead." And then, I repeat this in a normal voice so that everyone in front of us can hear, "You fools. You are all dead."
I leave along with my crew. How can they not listen? They think this is all a joke, but they will see. I warned them, but they chose not to listen.
