Unexpected Fate

Chapter 29-Finite Peace

Eight days. For Bardock, it seemed like a long wait between the reprieve and the battle with Cell and for once, he yearned for a fight. Yet, his son had made it clear that they were going to spend the first few days relaxing before they trained. Now with another day of relaxation, Bardock found himself at a loss of what he was going to do with his time.

'Maybe I can go fly around or something...' Bardock thought and opened the door. When he did, he realized for the first time since he returned home how the world around him looked.

While he had trained for seven months within the Room of Spirit and Time, the idea of returning to his home seemed rather foreign. Nothing seemed out of place despite the time he had been absent, but at the same time, he half-expected to come back to nothing. Usually, he care little about the location, but now, he was starting to realize that he was starting to feel more at home on Earth compared to all of the planets he traveled and ravaged nearly three decades ago.

'At one point, I wanted to leave this planet...' Bardock thought silently to himself while eating a small meal that he was able to pull together without worrying about the dishes all that much.'It's not Vegeta-sei, but at least there's a chance to be accepted by the humans without fear or intimidation. I suppose it's not a bad thing that none of these humans know what a Saiya-jin is and get all hell-bent at the idea of us co-existing alongside them. At least I know all of them don't judge us...'

Eventually, he left the house and took off into the air. Before he knew it, he landed on the porch of Goku's home and found himself knocking at the door. Shuffling was heard from within and moments later, Chi-chi opened the door and looked at Bardock in a confused manner.

"If you want Goku, I threw him out of the house because he broke most of the silverware," Chi-chi growled her husband's name in distaste. "I don't like that blonde haired thing of yours and I rather you guys get normal jobs!"

"What is a normal job for guys like us anyway?" Bardock raised a brow at this question. Frankly, he had no idea what 'job' he would be suited for on Earth since all he knew was destroying things and taking lives of others. 'That would look great on trying to get a job: former employee of a galactic overlord, conquer of worlds is seeking to work on a lowly earthly job for some unknown trade...' The idea was morbid in its best and he had to suppress a chuckle at the irony.

"I don't know... maybe construction or mining or even farming," Chi-chi threw suggestions at the cursed warrior.

"And what is the point in doing this anyway?" Bardock asked.

"To earn some income, you know, upgrade your little hovel of a home that you live in. Maybe food..." Bardock's stomach growled at that suggestion. Chi-chi only sent a glare at her father-in-law; almost though he was there for any available handouts.

"What? I didn't eat that much because most of my dishes are broken," Bardock looked at her as though she was about to start raving any minute. "And I didn't do it intentionally either. Ever since I transformed, it's become difficult to gage my strength and..."

"Get out..." Chi-chi hissed at Bardock.

"What? I just got..."

"I SAID GET OUT! I WON'T LET THE REST OF MY HOUSE GET DESTROYED BY THE LIKES OF YOU MONSTERS!" Chi-chi yelled; shoving Bardock out the door and slamming it in his face.

'Okay, I take it back; most people don't judge us...' Bardock sweat dropped at the closed door and knew he could easily go back in if he wanted to, but did not since his daughter-in-law technically kicked him out. He decided to leave her to her own devices and see what his son was up to.
