Chapter 16-Warrior of Tomorrow

"...damn... where the hell did I end up now?" Bardock muttered beneath his breath before noticing the computers and other software around him. His breath froze when he recognized where he was standing at that moment.

"So, you wish to join me..." Frieza's voice echoed softly against the walls. "Strange that you were not registered in the computers..."

"Perhaps it was a technical issue..." Bardock heard his younger self say. His eyes immediately fell upon the youth's bowing form. He felt sick to his stomach seeing himself like this before the lizard that not only enslaved him, but ensured that he was utilized in such wicked ways.

"Maybe... whoever failed to register your birth in the records will pay for their incompetence regardless..." Frieza smirked. "Your power level isn't as high as I would like, but still, 680 isn't a bad start for a monkey. I will assign you to a squad tomorrow. You are dismissed."

'The day I joined Frieza... that was the day my life changed...' Bardock thought silently.

Bardock saw his younger self walk towards the exit before running into Sparig and their shoulders bumped into one another. Both of them turned around; glaring at one another.

"Funny, I thought you of all people would have never joined the likes of Lord Frieza..." Sparig smirked in a smug look.

"I didn't join because of you," Bardock hissed back.

"So it wasn't her death that made you join? Pity..."

"You shouldn't speak of mom's death in vain."

"I already did... I hope you die on your first mission."

"I hope I never see you ever again!" Bardock punched the twin across the face before he fell to the ground. Surprise crossed Sparig's face as he wiped away the blood. Frieza only looked on rather amused.

"Damn you..." Sparig almost went after his brother, however, another soldier's arms held him back.

"I take it you both are twins, correct?"

"We are," Sparig growled.

"Interesting... I always had wondered what made them tick..." Frieza cusped Sparig's head in his hand while Bardock looked on angrily.

"Lord Frieza, I am a devoted follower of your will..."

"I see that in your gaze... you and your brother will depart in the morning together on a mission of my choice..."

"But my lord..."

"Sparig... do as I ask... or I shall ensure the worst punishment on you..." Frieza released Sparig before the twins locked eyes on each other; heated glares that ended when they both walked their separate ways.

'The next day... Sparig and I went on that mission and...' Bardock closed his eyes in discomfort. The vision faded around him as he growled in irritation. 'No, I don't want to confront that right now... eventually, but not now...'

"Gohan!" A feminine voice cried when Bardock woke up. He glanced around before realizing he was back in the house that he arrived in. He had no idea how much time had passed. His head throbbed from the knot in his head from the surprise attack, her shrieking and from the dark power that was felt clearly approaching the planet.
