Part 33: "The Episode of Bardock Saga"
For a long while, Usagi looked away for a bit…
"Grandma?" Gohan asked.
"Curiously, before I had all my memories back, I did not know that I had met Bardock before, back during my early days," Usagi said. "And it was really, really strange, too, considering the fact that he had supposedly died while confronting…in the present."
FLASHBACK!
Thousands of years ago...
"Summer Break!" Usagi said, as she shouted in the halls of Jurai's Science Academy. "Yahoo!"
"Will you knock it off?" said her friend and lab partner Washu. "I still have one more final to do, you know."
"Not bloody likely."
"Well, I'm going to go on vacation early, if you don't mind," Usagi said. "I'll meet you on Risa when you're done."
"Well, I hope you get lost!" Washu yelled.
"Ha, I don't think so…"
Days later…
"I think I'm lost," Usagi said, as she piloted her pet cabbit Tho-Ohki, who was presently in starship mode. Tho-Ohki was a part of a final project that Washu had submitted, based upon an idea of Usagi's…
"I don't think I recognize this star system either."
"Me-aw!" Tho-Ohki said.
"I see that…violet-colored planet," Usagi said, as she spies on the planet in the distance, even as Tho-Ohki created a projection of the analysis of it.
"Me-aw!"
"Well, there is no time like the present," Usagi said, as she pilots her cabbit to the strange planet before her…
"I am Dr. Dre, and welcome to planet 'Plant", said the alien creature, who was small in comparison to Usagi. "You're the second non-Saiyan visitor."
"Pardon?" Usagi said.
Dr. Dre takes Usagi to an injured warrior male with a monkey's tail. He was on his back asleep.
"We found him injured," Dr. Dre said. "We had used our magical healing gel to heal him."
"I see," Usagi said, as she reached over to pick up the man's chest plate…
"No!" the man said suddenly, as he grabs Usagi's wrist.
"Ah!" Usagi gasped.
The man then looked at Usagi closely…
"Do I know you?" the man asked. "I recognized that stupid hair of yours."
"My hair is NOT stupid," Usagi said, as she pressed a pressure point on the man's wrist, forcing the man to let go of her.
"Ow!" the man said, as he grabbed his wrist.
"And you don't grab me like that, you jerk!"
"Humph," the man said with a cocky smile. "I like your style, girl."
"What is your name anyway?" Usagi asked.
"My name is Bardock, and I am a Saiyan warrior…"
"Well, my name is Usagi, not 'girl'."
"Heh…"
For the next month, Bardock and Usagi worked together in trying to solve their respective predicament. For Bardock, he was trying to remember something important; for Usagi, she was trying to find a way back to Juraian space. And then, something happened…
"Usagi, I…I'm sorry," Bardock said, after he kissed Usagi. "That was a bit uncalled for."
"Well, you've certainly mellowed," Usagi replied. "But why apologize?"
"Pardon?"
"Look, I'll come clean. I'm not looking for something long-term, but, well, I could use the company for a short while."
"Until you use me and leave me?" Bardock said.
"Yes."
"Oh, then we are on the same page, then, only vice versa and junk…"
For an entire week, Bardock and Usagi were together, enjoying each other's company. And then trouble occurred…
"I am Chilled of the planet Frost, and I am here to annex you planet for my use," said the Frost demon, as he confronted the Saiyans with his minions. "Any problem with THAT?"
"Yeah, we do," Bardock said, as he and Usagi confronted Chilled. "You know, you look like Freeza, the man who destroyed my homeworld, planet Vegeta."
"Interesting," Chilled said. "I like the name. I think I'll rename Planet Plant into Planet…Vegeta."
"WHAT?" Bardock said. "What did you say?"
"I said…'Vegeta', short for 'Vegetable'. You got a problem with that?"
Usagi, carrying her lightsword in hand, looks at her boyfriend with concern.
"Bardock?" Usagi said.
"Hey, Chilled!" Bardock yells. "Tell me this: what year is it?"
"It is the year 2222," Chilled replied.
"Space BC or Space AD?"
"What the hell are those?"
"Oh, my space god!" Bardock said in shock. "Somehow, that final attack from Freeza sent me into the past…"
Bardock then collapsed onto the ground.
"Bardock?" Usagi said.
"Of all the stupid, asinine, shark-jumping bull-crap!" Bardock raged, as thunder and lightning was heard and seen. Bardock didn't just lose his homeworld; he was lost in time…
"YAHHHHHHH!" Bardock roared, as he becomes the first legendary Super-Saiyan!
"Bardock?" Usagi said in fear, as Bardock's hair turned blond while his eyes turned green.
Bardock then faced Chilled.
"I'm going to break your butt!" Bardock said.
"Sorry, but I only fight natural blonds," Chilled replied.
"Frak, you!"
And that's when Bardock gave the ancestor of Freeza the beaten of his life.
"I don't think our healing gel will be enough," Dr. Dre said.
"I'll say," Usagi said, as she sweated a drop of sweat on the back of her head…
END FLASHBACK!
"After that…massacre, I was able to retrieve data from Chilled's ship, which held map archives," Usagi said. "From there, I was able to find my way again, and returned to Jurai to finish my studies."
"What happened to Grandpa Bardock?" Gohan asked.
"Well, he left to find the ancestral homeworld of the Saiyans, since planet Vegeta wasn't," Usagi said. "I never saw Bardock again after that, but, for that one summer, I enjoyed his company."
"So, from everything you've been telling me, it was fate that brought you and Grandpa together, so that you could adopt the son of your ex-boyfriend."
"You know, I never thought of it like that," Usagi said.
"In fact, you could say that you were fated to become part-Saiyan."
"I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but I will say this: when I became part-Saiyan, I did so by taking a part of you, and incorporating that into me, so that I might be strong enough to protect the ones I love. YOU, Gohan, are the grandson of Bardock of Vegeta-sai. It is because of that, that Bardock, the one that I loved for that moment in time, is now a part of me, and will be for the rest of my life…"
Pause.
"And it is my honor to not only protect his legacy, you and your father Goku, but his bloodline. After all, one day, I will be able to have kids the natural way, and they, too, will have a bit of Bardock in THEM."
"Well, thank you for telling me this, Grandma," Gohan said.
"You're welcome…"
Pause.
"So, you want go and visit Korin and Yajirobe," Usagi said. "I hear that Yajirobe baked some fresh muffins yesterday."
"Alright, let me put away my stuff," Gohan said, as he gathers his homework.
Usagi turns to look outside, and smiles.
'Thank you for the gift, my beloved Bardock',' Usagi thought to herself. 'I WILL cherish it, by becoming as strong, if not stronger, as you were…as long as I live."
Fin.
