Improbables

Chapter 2

I forgot to put this part up in the last chapter. Sorry. Armor types are unlocked by years in this world. Trainees: w/ shoulder pads, padded skirt things (Raditz/Seria), red scouter; 3 years: w/ shoulder pads, undersuit (Vegeta), blue scouter, 6; w/out shoulder pads, undersuit, green scouter, 9 & above; Kyira (at this level, you can learn how to sense energy.). Just because someone unlocked them doesn't mean they have to wear that type of armor. It's kinda like in Halo; you unlock certain armors at different levels. Same thing with the Saiyan armors and scouters except each level is unlocked by the amount of years one has been doing missions.

4 year-old Kyira giggled at baby Raditz in his crib. Raditz squealed and reached his chubby baby hands at his big sister. An older woman who looked like Kyira walked into the room and scooped up Raditz. "How's mommy's little man doing?" cooed the woman, nuzzling him. A man with spiky black hair walked in, grinning.

"Papa!" Kyira cried happily as the man picked her up. She laughed and hugged him. The woman smiled.

"Aren't we just the perfect little family, Bardock?" Bardock grinned.

"Let's go be a 'perfect family' around the dinner table Gine."

Gine smiled, watching her children take off on their next mission. She had long spiky hair, much like Raditz did, somewhat sharp features, and was wearing a blue hospital gown instead of her usual clothing. She was sitting in a wheelchair inside the command center communications area. As exhausted as she was, Gine had insisted on seeing her eldest two off. She sighed. "And there they go." Another sigh. "Bardock, where are you? Our children need their father."

"As do mine." Gine turned the wheelchair around to see the 31 year old queen and her youngest son.

Queen Carmine smiled at her old comrade and adjusted giggly baby Tarble. "I thought you'd be in the hospital, Gine." The Queen advised. "You need your rest." Gine rolled her eyes.

"I know, but I just wanted to see them off. I don't often get to see that." Carmine nodded and looked to the stars.

"I actually quite miss it too. I hope they enjoy it as much as we did." Gine smiled at her.

"I'd better get back; the human doctors are quite fussy over me." Carmine laughed.

"I'll wheel you back." Gine, holding Tarble, grinned as Carmine wheeled her back to the medical bay.

"Remind you of the good ole days, don't it?" asked Gine.

"Back before the humans joined?" Carmine sighed. "Yeah... but those days are gone."

The two women arrived in the hospital wing, filled with human doctors and nurses. As Gine explained where her room was, Tarble looked around quietly, making Carmine a tid bit nervous.

'He's normally so loud and happy.' worried Carmine. 'Is it because of the humans? Vegeta doesn't like the humans. He only allied them because I convinced him they could be helpful. Maybe Tarble picked up on that from his brother.' Upon entering Gine's room, a baby cried out. Tarble was immediately on edge.

It was a simple room. The humans designed it so. Gine sighed and rolled her eyes at the little one laying on her bed.

"He sleeps just like his father." Gine says with a smile as Carmine moves them closer to the bed.

"I don't believe I've seen this one before. What's his name?"

Gine laughed and shook her head. "Kakarot. He's quite the pest, but the other two love him. Takes after his father."

Planet Seual (Cee-all) Northern Galaxy

Bardock grinned as he blasted another of Frieza's bases to oblivion. He loved these solo missions. The planet was a fourth of the size of Planet Vegeta, so it was perfect for a one-man wipeout. Dusting himself off, he scanned the planet with his Ki sense. No more of Frieza's men. "And that's the last of 'em." He flared up a bluish-white aura and flew off.

The planet was once covered by a vast and dense jungle. Now all that was left was desert.

Landing outside the village his pod had ended up near, Bardock glanced about. According to the villagers, there had once been huge, gleaming cities dotting the planet.

Those had also been destroyed.

Now the natives lived in mud huts that protected them from the immense heat.

'These people look like those chameleon things the humans brought with them.' The thought had passed his mind more than once.

He hurried past the natives who praised him, thankful for the destruction of their oppressors. Hero worship wasn't really his thing but he still enjoyed it.

Slipping into his pod, Bardock dialed in his team's rendezvous point: Southern galaxy, Northern Quadrant, planet 36419, Planet Vegeta; Home.
