"Did you research everything I asked of you, Kikono?"
In a large spaceship just hovering over planet Vegeta stands, or maybe the proper term would be floats in his chair, is the emperor of the Universe, Lord Frieza, casually twirling his glass of wine with his hand as he takes on the sights of the multiple flying spacecraft in front of him while waiting for an answer from his advisor
"Yes Indeed, and I found that there is no evidences that this Super Saiyan, and this Super Saiyan God, were ever anything but a myth, their only hypothetical evidences were about a Saiyan who gained an incredible amount of power some 1000 years ago, which would make the probability of one possibly reappearing in these times incredibly low. As for this Super Saiyan deity, the only information I managed to find is that they supposedly existed during the ancient times, which makes their apparition rate even lower, to not say ridiculous"
Some seconds passed by as Frieza took a sip from his wine before he let out a menacing smile, reassured by this new set of information "Wonderful! I can't have the least bit of anxiety right now so I had to be sure, not that they would be a problem. The mighty Lord Frieza wouldn't be bothered by some pity legends that revolve around a random monkey that 'supposedly' existed some 1000 years ago"
Kikono blinked, confused at what his Lord was hinting at "...So then, are you canceling the operation?"
This made Frieza laugh however, as if this was the most absurd thing he had ever heard "OH OH OH! You⦠are⦠hilarious! No! Not after all the trouble I had to unit all of these Monkeys. They might not be a threat individually, but in a such high number they remain pests that I can't wait to dispose of"
"... Alright then, and what about Bardock? Do you think he will come still?"
Frieza put a finger to his chin, thinking "Hmm, Bardock yes. He will come, do not worry about it. He IS the guest of honor after all. He would not dare to waste such an opportunity to avenge his former team after the message I sent him. I will be waiting, I have a gift prepared specially for him as a thanks for his servitude after allβ¦" he then finished his sentence with a little smirk, eyes focusing on the planet before him
"Butβ¦ Are you not scared that they might come together if they learn of our scheme? If Bardock manages to somehow bring everyone with him and attack, their numbers could overwhelm ours andβ" Kikono was about to continue voicing his concern only to abruptly stop at the sound of his Lord chuckling "Do you really think they will believe him? A former "Low Class" as they put it? That their Lord is about to commit massive genocide on them out of the blue? I know their mentality perfectly Kikono, I don't need foresight to know exactly how this is going to go. The only thing they will do is mock him and go one with their day, the only support he will have is him and him alone" This made Kikono shut up for good, having nothing else to say, however, this made his second adviser, Berryblue, speak up for the first time
"My Lord, what do we do about⦠you what who" Berryblue asked, tone stone cold while pointing to something in the far back
"Mmh? Oh! Right, we'll just let this bag of ice drift off somewhere in space, such a shame we will not be able to keep it, it would have made such a nice decoration! β¦Oh well!" Frieza paused as he took yet another sip from his wine while he observed the pods of his former employees slowly but surely advancing towards their impending doom "OH OH OH! I can't wait for the fireworks!"
πΌππππ ππππ π πππ π±ππππππ
"Damnit! Frieza's here already, we might have less time than I thoughtβ¦"
Bardock curses as he sees Frieza's mothership on stand-by just outside of the planet "Tch, no matter, we stick to the plan, as soon as we touch the ground, you rush to the castle and try to get in contact with the King while I try to unit as many warriors as I can, understood?"
"Yes Bardock" His comrade nodded without hesitation, then, as their spacecraft arrive in orbit, with many other pods, they finally crash-land and Bardock jump out and immediately blast towards the most populated place he knew : the bar
"Everyone listen!"
"..." However, no one seemed to have paid him any attention as his voice was drowned by the loud music being blasted everywhere in the establishment
Not willing to waste anymore time, he rushed to the counter of the bar, which was at the opposite of the speakers and tried to get the barman to lower the music so he could speak to everyone
"You. Listen. You have to cut out the music so I can warn everyone! We are all in impotent danger! Frieza already killed all of my crew and now he is about to exterminate all ofβ" The barman however only looked at him with a tired look "Wait wait man, slow down a bit, you say that Frieza killed your crew and is about to exterminate us?"
"Yes! And if we don't warn as many people as possibleβ" "Hold on" the barman interrupts again, rubbing his temple "First of all, I don't think you're in a correct mental state right now, are you sure you didn't get drunk and forced out of another bar before coming here?"
Another guy sitting in a nearby chair suddenly joined the conversation as well, sensing some possible entertainment "Yeah Bardock, did you restart this super strong stuff from the bar down the street again? You have to stop dude! It's not good for your mental stability!"
Bardock was starting to get pissed off "What?! I'm telling you that we're all about to die and you talk about me being drunk?! Friezaβ" But unfortunately the barman was not having it "Not another other word Bardock. Do you even hear what you're saying right now? 'Frieza-sama is going to kill all of us! And blablabla!' Get a grip on yourself man and somber up a little or I'm gonna be forced to get you out of my establishment too if you want to start a commotion, so either command some non-alcohol to drink or get out"
Bardock looked shocked for a moment, until it morphed into one of disdain and frustration "You⦠worthless⦠fools! All of you can go to hell!" Bardock then left the building, leaving the barman watching him leave and the other guy disappointed that there weren't any fights, he was even about to call him back only for the barman to stop him "Wait Bardock!" "Don't. He isn't worth it in his state right now, I'm sure he'll be better in a few days"
Bardock stood alone outside for a few moments as he tried to think of a new plan, it seems he will have to operate without them after allβ¦
However, as he was in the middle of his reflection, he saw his comrade come back into his line of sight, completely panicked⦠great
"Bardock! They said King Vegeta left 2 days ago with team Legacy under Frieza's orders⦠and still didn't come back"
Bardock froze, eyes widening "What?! Them too?! Oh noβ¦ Don't tell me heβ¦"
"...I'm sorry Bardock"
Bardock clenched his fists and punched the ground multiple times as his comrade waited awkwardly for him to evacuate all of his frustration "Damn it! Damn It!! "DAMN IT!!!"
It took a good five minutes for Bardock to calm down with some series of calm breathing before he thought of a new plan "Alright, try and unit as many people as possible, they didn't listen to me but they might with you, we have to at least try, I will go see Gine and Kakarot now, see you as soon as possible with hopefully some good news"
Bardock blasted towards his house as fast as he could and literally barged into the door
"Hey! What was that for?!" Gine exclaimed in outrage, completely caught by surprise as she fell from her chair
"We don't have time! Get Kakarot out and follow me!"
Gine gained a confused expression while getting up from the floor "First of all, what is all of this aggression for?! And second, doesn't Kakarot still have a day or two before being completely ready? What's happening?"
Bardock paused, let out a breath to calm himself before speaking "...I am gonna be direct because we don't have time, Frieza and his army are stationed on orbit and he is about to kill us all along with our planet, this is why we have to get Kakarot out and take his space pod as QUICK as possible"
It seemed Gine passed by 4 emotions in an instant as she froze and got confused, worried, scared, and horrified, and all of that in the span of only a few seconds "Whβ Friβ heh?! Hold onβ you aren't serious aren't you? β¦What am I even supposed to say to this?! What are we going to do?! I can't evenβ" "Just take his armor and scouter and follow me! Please! I'll talk to you on the Kami damn way!" Bardock interrupted her, frustrated at the questions
"OK! OK!" Gine exclaimed panicked as she quickly went into their storage room and took Kakarot's armor and belongings as well as their family scouter with every recordings and then went to take Kakarot himself while dressing him up in it
She then ran outside to rejoin Bardock, who now had taken Kakarot's space pod on his shoulder as well as a bag "Follow me quick, we are going to speed-jump to the opposite of where Frieza is stationed"
"Bardock" Gine said with a tone between worried and serious after 10 minutes of jumping as she followed him towards wherever their destination was "I know you said Frieza was about to exterminate us but what is your plan exactly? We will send Kakarot to Earth and then what? We don't even have the children to help us andβ" she instantly froze in horror "Oh no! What if Frieza already killed our babies?!"
Bardock also stopped and let the space pod fall beside him, judging that they were at a good enough spot "I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea, either this bastard sent them away for later purposes or they somehow managed to escape somewhere in space, but with how desperate Frieza was to kill all of us I have my doubt"
Gine shook her head furiously, denying the thought "Don't be so pessimistic! Aspara and Raditz wouldn't die that easily right? β¦I refuse to think they're dead!" However she couldn't escape some seed of doubt engraving themselves deep into her heart "...Since we don't have nor the children, nor the King to help us, did you at least succeed gathering some people?"
Gine looked hopeful for a moment until her hopes got crushed as Bardock shook his head negatively while he opened the space pod and set the bag inside it "Unfortunately no, the only one I have for the attack is another comrade of mine, which I will not bring as I plan to go fight Frieza alone"
"...What?!" Gine exclaimed, baffled "Are you crazy?! You know better than anyone how powerful Frieza is! You can't possiblyβ "He killed our team Gine" Bardock interrupted, tone extremely serious "I have to avenge them, it's my destiny, and if he wants me, then I will sure as hell not go down without a fight, even if I have to go through his entire army alone to just punch him in his disgusting face"
"Then what will I do?!" Gine exclaimed again, raising both of her hands in the air in frustration "I refuse to stand by and watch you get incinerated!"
Bardock didn't respond for a few seconds until he simply walked right in front of her and put his right hand on her head, brushing her hair in a soft manner making her look at him in complete confusion "As I said, my destiny will be to soon fight him, yours however is much more important, I want you to live and make sure Kakarot will be a healthy and strong Saiyan"
Gine stared at him, brain trying to process what he just said "...You don't mean?" "You heard me, I want you flee to Earth with Kakarot while I distract Frieza so you escape safely from this hell"
". . . WHAT?! YOU CANNOT BEβ" "WHAAAAA" Gine's mouth clapped down as Kakarot started to cry because of the commotion
"β¦You cannot be serious!" Gine argued, gritting her teeth as she shook her head in protest with some tears going down her face "I can't go without you!"
"If I go, someone will surely stop us trying to escape, the only way is for someone to cause a distraction, and it will be me" Bardock said as he gave her Kakarot, which she took and gave her baby a big hug while sobbing uncontrollably, then Bardock took both of them in a family hug, taking in the last moment "If I can distract him long enough for you and the kid to quit the range of his scouter then you will be safe to live another day, please let me at least save you both and give you two a better life"
Gine looked at her mate with tears in her eyes, debating her choices as she saw the determination in his eyes, ready to sacrifice himself for her to be able to live. She wanted to fight beside him against Frieza, she really wanted to, but let's be honest, what would she accomplish? She wasn't blind, she would be useless "Fine⦠If this is your wish then I'll go with Kakarot to Earth, I will make sure to raise Kakarot into someone you will be proud of!" Gine stated, her face determined
"I'm glad to hear that, and one last thing, forget about Kakarot's trial bullshit, just concentrate on trying to survive and getting stronger and even to ally yourselves with these Earthlings if the situation calls for it. They shouldn't be of any danger even to you and they could have some useful technologies if you fall into the Frieza forces again. Although just in case some of the Earthlings cause you problems, don't hesitate to show them the power of the Saiyan race!" Gine couldn't help but giggle a little at the hero speech which she smiled fondly at "I understand, and I might be a weakling in terms of Saiyan strength and more of a pacifist now, I'm still not inclined to be pushed around⦠If someone touches even a single strand of my baby's hair, I will go Oozaru on them!" Bardock smirked as he gave her one last kiss on her lips as well as a gentle rub on her hair "I know you will"
Bardock then looked at his son, who looked back at him with his little worried expression within Gine's grasp "And as for you little brat, it would be in your best interest to be nice and understanding with your mother, or I will personally come back from the grave and put you back in your place, alright you little tick?"
Kakarot blink cutely at his father, seemingly not understanding, before suddenly taking a semi serious look and proceeding to give his father a light nod and a raise of his hand
Satisfied by his response, Bardock proceeds to close the pod, then, by pressing a button on his remote, the pod started to levitate "Now you will be sent to the limit of our atmosphere until I press on the button as soon as I distracted Frieza which will send you straight to Earth, you just have to be patient ok?" Gine nodded in understanding inside the pod, then Kakarot looked at his father again through the pod and placed his little hand on the glass, follow by Gine placing hers gently on top of her son and lastly Bardock placing his at the opposite side of the two "I love you"
As the pod continues to levitate towards the sky, Bardock's smile disappear as he direct his sight in the direction of his arch-nemesis, preparing himself mentally for the confrontation to come "It's between you and me now you freak" he then powered up and blasted towards the sky, right to Frieza for one last stand
πΎππππππ ππ ππππππ π πππππ, 11:50πΏπ
In Frieza's spaceship, still on stand by outside of planet Vegeta, Zarbon came to inform his Lord of the new development "My Lord, yourβ¦'guest' is approaching our location rapidly"
"FRIIIIIEZAAAAA!!!"
Frieza finished his wine before crushing the glass "Good, the show can finally begin"
The top of his mothership opened and Frieza levitated through the opening, still sitting in his chair, which made all the battlefield stop fighting as all turned in his direction, Bardock included
"There you are! Did you finally decide to stop hiding behind your army and face me like a man?!" Bardock taunted while he clutch his remote, focused solely on Frieza and making the Lord's lips thinned
'That's it, focus on me you bastard'
Ignoring his statement, Frieza started his speech "What a pleasant surprise to see you here Bardock, I would like to thank you personally for your services and to offer you all a gift of retirement. And of course as the guest of honor, you will be the first to die"
However, instead of being terrified like Frieza had anticipated, Bardock did not move an inch and his look was only composed of pure disdain, hate and defiance
That made Frieza's smile turned upside down
"What is this disgusting face for? No more rant about us being your perfect slaves? Or perhaps you expected that I would shake in my boots? Well Fuck You! I'd rather be a free man in my grave than live any more seconds like the slaves you call henchmens!"
"...You shouldn't spoke to me in this tone if you want to know what happened to your two children"
Everything around Bardock froze beside himself and Frieza
"...What?"
Frieza launched him a smug smile "You heard me, your two children along with their team are on my possession now, and while you and the rest of your race is six feet under, I will take great care of your little group of protΓ©gΓ©, and I can already tell they will be way more useful in my command then they ever were under your pitiful society!"
"Tch, you fucking monsterβ¦"
"You should be honored, Bardock. They will not die with the rest of your race but instead join my glorious army directly under my orders" Time took its course once again "But enough talking, are you ready to die now, monkey?" Frieza asked Bardock as he lifted his finger and started to charge his supernova
'Ha! As if you could ever control them⦠Sooner or later they will get stronger than you and then, you will regret ever crossing paths with the Saiyan race⦠In the meantime, please, if what he says is true and your all still alive, I hope you take good care of Raditz Aspara, your the strongest of them all so I trust you to survive and dare I not see any of you in the afterlife or I swear I will kick your ass'
Bardock shook his head and used his free hand to make a come get me gesture "Heh, so you're not even gonna leave your stupid chair and simply blast me? I guess you're scared to face me in a one on one battle"
"You are more delusional than I thought Bardock, nevertheless, this is the end for you"
"Oh but that's where you're wrong Frieza. I'm just the first cog. Sooner or later you will fall, maybe not in the next few years but your fate is sealed nonetheless" He looked at his hand and pressed the button before creating his Riot Javelin, effectively disintegrating any remnant of the remote "You will die and it will be at the hands of a Saiyan!" He then launched his signature attack with all of his might, watching it blast towards Frieza as the latter continued to fuel his supernova bit by bit
Then Frieza started to laugh, was it out of mockery he would never know, as his supernova grew exponentially and engulfed his own attack in a mere instant
'I guess this is the end of the road for meβ¦' Bardock thought as he watched Frieza launch his supernova towards him 'no matter, I did what I had to do, the rest is on Gine and the kids, I know they will do it'
Ultimately, he smiled as let himself be submerged by his last memory of his family happy together and enjoying their day, not even feeling the supernova engulf him and sadly dying but still without any regret, having accomplished his mission in the end
π½ππ πππ ππππ ππππππ π πππππ
The pod containing Gine and Kakarot continued its course towards Earth, having exit the gravity field of their home planet some minutes ago
Inside the pod, Gine was currently hugging her son like a lifeline, searching as much comfort as she could from her baby
"I know you must be terrified right now but I promise you, everything will be okay" Gine spoke to her son in a terrible attempt to reassure herself as Kakarot looked at her in a worried expression, sensing her distress "We will go to Earth, construct a nice house, meet many Earthling friends and everything is going to be okay, everythingβ" suddenly, both heard a gigantic explosion which made their space pod tremble as well as making Gine starting to sob violently again while baby Kakarot made his best to comfort her
Their space pod then calmed itself and continued its path towards their hopefully new home
