Bardock woke up.

What the hell? How am I alive? And where am I?

"Rest, you are barely alive as it is" a voice said, sounding fairly familiar
"Who are you? Where am I?" Bardock asked, slightly angry.
"Relax friend, you are on Planet Yardrat, and I am Bo'el, leader of planet"
Bardock paused to think
Yardrat, pretty sure I've been here before, but when?
"Bo'el, have we met before?"
"Indeed Bardock, you saved us from a group of rouge Saiyans several years ago, and our planet is grateful to you and your allies"
"Is that why you're helping me?"
"Yes, it's a miracle you survived your planet's destruction, and we're simply healing you"
"I appreciate your help, but I need to kill Frieza, I'm strong enough to do it now"
Bo'el sighed and turned away
"Bardock, I must tell you the truth. Frieza can transform, you died to his first form"
"What? How strong is he?"
"At full power, in his fourth and final form, strong enough to obliterate planets with minimal effort. You can't beat him"
Bardock was shocked
I died to his first of four forms? I need to get stronger
"Can you train me Bo'el?"
"I can do my best"
"That's good enough for me"

Bardock's training began.
For two and a half decades he trained daily.
He was taught how to sense power without a scouter, surpress his own power and even how to teleport by locking on to someone's energy: a technique the Yardrats called Instant Transmission.
