„Are you sure someone was digging in the files? You say Bardock was asking questions? Hmm You might be right. You've got three hours for you part. Tell the others it's now or never."
Nappa stood behind the door, and listen to someone talking on the scouter. He knew something was fishy ever since the King had called in Bardock a few days ago. He knew Bardock was special, although he had no idea why. He remembered that the old King also put great trust in the Saiyan commander. He walked away and hid behind the next doorway, and as the person exited the restroom, he observed the conspirator undetected.
As soon as the person was out of sight, he ran quickly to the King. The King had been in one of the private audience chambers with Bardock and Raditz, the men immediately stopped talking when Nappa entered.
"My King, I've just overheard council member Celer, he was talking about your meeting with Bardock. He also mentioned that someone was to do something in three hours. He said someone was messing with the files and that it's time for something." Nappa said quickly without catching his breath.
"Bardock we have to hurry. Do you have any idea what that would mean? Did you have any more visions recently?" Vegeta asked worried.
"I've seen blood split on the palace floor, but I do not know whose blood it was. I also believe my son is still alive." Bardock started explaining his newest vision.
"Raditz go home and get your mother and family, and head towards the main Space Centre, there you will prepare back-up files for all data, and prepare a ship for takeoff. Nappa you will go with him, and take my slave with you." Vegeta started giving orders.
"Bardock gather all trustworthy loyal Saiyans and tell them to come to the palace. I also want two teams guarding the Space Centre, Medical Centre and two more scouting the town." Vegeta spoke quickly. "Nappa before you go, do not talk to any council members on the way out. I believe they are trying to take over control of my Empire, and I'm not going without a fight."
"Bardock do you think we can trust some of the elite and first class commanders?" Vegeta asked when they were left alone.
"Out of the list we worked out, most elites are connected to the council, so trusting them would be unwise. However first class commanders Parsel, Skiiret and second class commanders Tuber and Ambur are most probably loyal to you. There are not connected to the council and I know them personally." Bardock explained.
"You will contact those men; however do not tell them about what is going on. Send them off planet as soon as possible and tell them to station on Alvaber, Mikenos and Bayeer and await further orders. They have to leave the planet under one hour." Vegeta ordered his most trusted Saiyan. "Meet me back at the palace in one hour."

Nappa rushed to the Queen's bedroom, Bulma was completely surprised with the nervousness the bald Saiyan was emitting.
"Get moving, we have to get out of here. It's the King's order!" He yelled at her in Universal. She quickly grabbed her jewellery box with capsules and jewels, and rushed with him to the balcony. There the Saiyan grabbed her tightly and they flew to a house in suburbs of the town. Raditz had been waiting there for them with Chichi.
"We have to go to the Medical Centre to get mom and Gohan!" He told them, and grabbed Chichi and took off as well.
As soon as they reached the Medical Centre, Gohan was waiting at the entrance to let them in. They arrived at Gine's laboratory, to see Gine uploading files onto a portable memory disk. "I just need one more thing." She gave the disk to Radtiz and rushed into a special chamber. She came back within a few minutes, without explaining why she went there.
Within twenty minutes they arrived at the Space Centre only to find it deserted. Radtiz went to the control centre and tried to make the main framework computer working, but it was dead. Nappa stood there enraged by the state of the centre, this could only mean serious trouble.
In the meantime the women were left alone in the adjoining security control room. Gine approached Bulma, and asked her a simple question, "Do you trust me Chichi?" She asked the human female.
"Of course I do." Chichi told her. "If you do, hold her down tight, this is going to hurt!" and both women grabbed Bulma who was taken by surprise. "Don't worry; you'll be better after this." In a quick motion the Saiyan woman, took a syringe from her lab coat, and made an injection on Bulma's neck around her larynx. Later she made four more injections in the surrounding area. Bulma cried out in pain, but she was held down tightly. "You should regain your voice from one to ten hours. I'm not sure how the antidote will work on your species, but it should work eventually" Gine smiled at her happily.

"Raditz, this looks really bad. Most of my men have been ambushed and killed. I'm with the King in the palace, but we're expecting to be attacked any minute." Bardock told his son.
"Dad the Space Centre is not functional, I will try to start up a space ship manually, however we might have a problem." Raditz replied.
Bardock repeated his son's words to the King. "Did the men you ordered leave the planet in time?" The King asked.
"Raditz check the logs, did teams 37, 109 and 108, or 58 leave the planet?" Bardock asked his son.
"Yes, seven teams consisting of 84 pods left for Alvaber, Mikenos and Bayeer half an hour ago." Raditz confirmed.
"That's good." Bardock told him.
Bardock soon heard an incoming call. "Commander we're in trouble, we've been ambushed by elite soldiers at the south part of town. What are you orders?" One of his soldiers reported. "Avoid fighting, leave the area and save your lives!" Bardock transferred the same command to all his loyal Saiyans.
"Sire what if..." But he didn't finish the sentence, stopped by a sudden vision. He saw blood again, this time he saw it was Vegeta's blood. He saw his King dead and suddenly the vision turned into a vision of councilman Paragus on the throne.
"You just had a vision?" The King asked and Bardock nodded. "We have to hurry, or you will die."
Both men rushed towards the gardens, but were stopped by ten elite soldiers waiting there for them.
"Stand aside soldiers." Vegeta ordered.
"We no longer take orders from you." One of the men answered.
"Step aside or die." Vegeta gave the order again, but the soldiers just started laughing. Both Vegeta and Bardock charged at them.

Radtiz was getting frustrated, he got the files he needed, but the Space Centre was a mess. He tried to manually turn on three ships, but they weren't responding. Soon he found the reason why, the starting panels have all been disable, and the wires cut. All the ships had been sabotaged.
