Unexpected Fate

Chapter 17-Readjustment

Quietness surrounded Bardock sat idle within the capsule house he was given. At first, he had no idea that such small pill-like objects would have homes in it and that he could literally set it anywhere he wanted. It was not until his daughter-in-law showed him how to properly set it up that he realized the potential of being away from everyone else if he pleased. Later that same day, he had flown off to a vacant field where he didn't have as many trees around him. The last thing he needed was to be reminded of his past by setting his home in a forest setting near his son. It was the only thing he yearned for since coming to this planet: solitude.

Since his intended 'stay' was settled, he had been visited by both Piccolo and Goku within the past few days. Piccolo was kind enough to provide him some durable clothing despite the fact that he preferred the armor that had been long since discarded. At this moment, he no longer wore what he had been wearing while he was on Yardrat; now clothed in a deep blue fabric with a white sash. The clothes themselves felt heavier on his frame since it was a weighted material, but he paid no heed to the augmented weight as long as he had something to wear.

As for his youngest son's visits, it was mostly to train with his father as much as possible. The threat of the androids seemed to gnaw at the back of their minds and rather than try to find a way off the planet that he thought would be a brief respite, he was training in order to protect it and its people; something that the Cold Empire would condemn if they caught wind of it. Something else seemed to plague the cursed warrior while he idly watched the ceiling fan that spun to no end and it was not the thought of the remnants of both Frieza and King Cold's armies coming to Earth. No, it was about the house he was given to live in and in truth, it did not match the warrior's tastes all that much.

The very room he sat in had very little furniture, but he didn't seem to care much about the décor or the overall layout. It was the light blue carpet ran across the ground and the off-white walls that made him wonder who designed such a place. The walls themselves seemed rather plain without any pictures or objects of the slight. He thought of renovating the place himself, but had no tools or the creative license to really go out of his way to attempt a home renovation project. That and he lacked the proper skills to redesign the place to his liking; ergo his lack of enthusiasm of his new home.

At the moment, the Saiya-jin warrior was lying across one of the dark brown recliners with his back propped against one of the arms while his legs lazily swung over the other. The way he was positioned was completely barbaric and uncaring; however, it also showed that he cared little about how he was improperly sitting in a chair. If Chi-chi just happened to walk into the house at that moment and saw this scene, then he would have gotten an earful of damaging the armrests in his ignorance.

'This better be worth staying on this damn forsaken planet for three more years. If not, I will leave and never come back... stupid androids... worthless humans... my son had better be grateful I am willing to do this for this fucking planet just once...' Bardock mentally griped while he had the temptation to blow up the ceiling fan just for spite. He decided not to since he would have to deal with the aftermath of cleaning it up after it crashed to the ground and deal with the consequences of his 'mindless destruction' as Chi-chi had quoted after she learned what his previous profession was.

If he still had his tail, it would have twitched in utter annoyance along with his mental tirade. He shut his eyes; shifting somewhat before his stomach began to protest from the lack of nourishment.

'For now, I should get something to eat... let's see what kind of food I can come up with...' Bardock arose from the chair, its creaking protest ignored while walking to the kitchen that seemed rather tight and pointless for him to have since it had appliances that he would never utilize when he could do things the more convenient way and use his chi.
