Unexpected Fate

Chapter 08-Frieza

Frieza. The last name Bardock ever wanted to hear his youngest son mutter let alone know anything about the tyrant that had destroyed their world. He almost wished that name never existed along with the person who had murdered his own people twenty-five years earlier. Because of Frieza, Bardock had lost almost everyone and everything he had taken for granted in the past.

All that was left had to be his youngest son Kakarrot, rather Son Goku he called himself.

'What are you waiting for?' Goku's voice questioned in Bardock's mind. 'Were you going to go fight Frieza?'

"I... I was ordered to make sure you recover..." Bardock growled. "I cannot deny my prince's orders..."

'Why do you follow them?' Bardock thought Goku was being utterly careless. If he were on Vegeta-sei, he would have been long since dead for not acknowledging Vegeta's wishes when he spoke of them.

"Because I refuse to deny the last heir of the throne," Bardock sneered. "You should at least show him respect."

'Like the respect he went through coming to Earth, attempting to kill my friends and son, and nearly took my own life on top of it. I don't know why you defend him dad, but I cannot bow to a Saiya-jin when I'm an Earthling.'

"Keep saying that and you'll never be able to defeat Frieza!" Bardock yelled at his son bitterly before climbing to his feet. "Legendary Super Saiya-jin my ass..." He growled in angrily; assuming that besides the God of Strength, it would be impossible for a naïve warrior to obtain. Before Bardock could even dare leave the ship to take on Frieza, Scrix had gotten in the warrior's way at the door he was about to start out of. "Move."

"Not yet. If you leave now, you will only endanger your life when your son is still recovering," Scrix reminded the warrior.

"To hell with waiting! I rather die than wait here for that Earthling to recover!" Bardock countered in irritation; his tail snapping behind him.

"Kakarrot was never taught anything about his heritage and assumes that we kill for a living. He fears what he is and it is because of what he has seen that he denies that he is a Saiya-jin."

"If you know so much, why don't you tell him all about our culture? I'm fed up babysitting the ass when Frieza's probably thrashing my prince..."

"Like I said, I cannot allow you to go. Now either head back in there or you will leave me no other choice than to knock you out." Scrix gave the cursed warrior the ultimatum and he would go through with it if needed.

"I'd like to see you..." Before Bardock could utter one more word, the God of Strength had managed to carry out his threat and the elder warrior slumped over into Scrix's arm.

"You still deny the truth after six months. If you continue to walk away from it, you will lose much more," Scrix muttered softly.

When Bardock awoke, he growled and realized that his prince was dying and here he was laying there letting Frieza have his way with Vegeta. Getting to his feet, he ran out of the ship. Before he could even dare leave the perimeter of the ship, he heard an explosion from within. Footsteps were heard clamoring along with the sound of water splashing upon the floor. It seemed his son had finished recovering from his wounds and before Bardock knew it, the Earth-raised Saiya-jin had blown a hole within the side and flew up to the roof where the elder warrior had been standing earlier.
