Welcome to Legend of Bardock, the Reboot! This is a newer and in my opinion, better telling of the incomplete Legend of Bardock tale that I started years ago. I was gone for so long working on non-Fanfiction work, but I've been getting requests to continue the story for a long time, and it just doesn't feel right to pick up right where I left off months ago. So I'm making it even better for you guys! Enjoy!

As suddenly as it had appeared, it was gone. A world that had been written already...perhaps was going to be...or perhaps never would come to pass.

A Saiyan Warrior by the name of Bardock was healing from his mission on Planet Kanassa, a planet that he and his team had been sent to clear out of inhabitants.

Why? Orders from Lord Frieza. Frieza is the owner of Planet Vegeta, one of his countless planets throughout the galaxy. He is a maniacal tyrant, and uses the Saiyans as slaves to conquer worlds.

After Bardock and his team had finished their job, the leader had sensed another Power Level. A being on the planet was still alive. As per usual, Bardock flew off on his own and was caught off guard by this inhabitant, who blindsided the Saiyan with an attack of his own.

This was no normal attack. It did not kill. It did not break bones. It gave a gift. That gift...the ability to see the future!

Bardock had seen it all. Kakarot was to go to Earth. There he would grow into a mighty warrior. He would eventually defeat Frieza. He would become the legendary Super Saiyan! Not only that, but Kakarot- or Goku, as he would come to be known- would have children and grandchildren. Yet the future was not so clear. Many alternate roads were seen in that vision, it was not set in stone just yet.

That meant that if the future could change, then Bardock could change it himself. He could alter the fate of the Saiyans, of himself, and of his family.

Yet this gift was also a curse. Bardock knew of his fate and that of the Saiyans. The warrior race was to die by Frieza's hand. The only survivors would be Kakarot, his brother Raditz, Nappa, and Prince Vegeta himself.

There is nothing I can do. Bardock thought as he floated in the green liquid that seemed to magically heal one's injuries. He wasn't one to think that way, but he had to look at this realistically. What could he do?

Frieza was much too powerful for him to face alone. Or for even the Saiyan's to face together. It would take each one of them to even stand a sliver of a chance, and even that was risky. He had seen it as a possible future, but the chances of it were slim.

" Can you believe it?"

Bardock heard a voice coming from outside. It wasn't another vision. Still not ready to exit the pod, the recovering Saiyan listened to the conversation outside.

" Believe what?" Came the nasally response. A doctor. Not a Saiyan for sure. It had to be one of Frieza's army.

" Bardock's Power Level is nearing 10,000! Soon enough, he may even surpass the King!" The first voice said. Also nasally. Their voices annoyed Bardock, but their conversation was intriguing.

" Surpass the King?! Incredible! His growth is astonishing!" The second voice responded, and with that knowledge, Bardock returned to his thoughts.

The Saiyan knew that he could almost defeat his King. King Vegeta. He would be leaving soon to try and save his son. Bardock knew that his King would fail miserably, killed and humiliated in one blow. Much like his sons would come to be, Bardock and King Vegeta didn't get along well.

To the king, Bardock was the only Saiyan with a chance of surpassing and defeating him. By culture, the strongest among them was to be king.

Yet none of that mattered right now. What mattered was finding a way to save his race, but more importantly, a way to save his family. That was when the fate changing idea crossed the warrior's mind. I could go to Earth. I could go with Kakarot.

Bardock opened his eyes for the first time in a while, looking through the green liquid that filled the area around him.

The first realization that he had was of the death of his team. He was too late. Dodoria and his soldiers would have killed them by now. At least Bardock could take compensation in Dodoria getting what he deserved...eventually.

Rage built inside of Bardock as he thought of his team, and he clenched his fist in anger. No matter what though, he knew that he could not face Frieza. It was very unlike a Saiyan to run from battle, but this was no ordinary battle. As of now, there was no Saiyan strong enough to defeat Frieza.

The Saiyan's could hope to form the Super Saiyan God, but that would be pointless. It took six righteous Saiyans to form, Bardock would be lucky to even find one.

That left no other option but to evacuate. If Bardock could convince King Vegeta to initiate an order of evacuation, then the Saiyan's would be saved. How to do it though? His story would sound like utter nonsense to anyone who heard it, and he knew how it would go in Goku's world. This time though, Bardock was fully healed and clear headed. He would need to keep both of those attributes to pull this off.

" It seems like you had a rough time out there, Bardock." Appule said. This was the first time Bardock had even noticed the purple alien. That reminded him of something else. Even if he could convince King Vegeta to issue the evacuation order, Frieza's henchmen would report directly to him, ruining their plans.

Bardock ignored the alien and quickly put on his dark blue and green battle armor. He also picked up his green scouter, looking at the object for a moment. How they worshipped this simple piece of technology! If only they could sense Power Levels like Goku and even the Earthlings! The Saiyan made a note to himself to practice that ability as soon as he got a free moment to.

After putting on his red cutted pants, blue and green shoes, and finishing with his red arm bands, the Saiyan flew out of the medical area, making his way towards the palace.

Crying could be heard as Bardock ran past the area where the babies were held upon birth, and for examination. As he passed, he spotted Kakarot and Broly, side-by-side. The latter would become one of his son's greatest threats, possibly even one of the Universe's greatest. That was a problem for another day though. Make that devil suffer, son.

The first step was to warn the king. The second would be to take his family and evacuate. No matter what, at least his family would escape from Planet Vegeta's demise. He would be sure of that.

As soon as Bardock burst into the throne room, he noticed Paragus on the floor. It was a sad sight. Paragus was a good soldier, and didn't know the extent of Broly's ability. Broly would become a threat, and Paragus would become corrupted by a power that wasn't even his own, but all of this would only be because of King Vegeta.

Not only was Paragus a good soldier, but he was even Bardock's superior. At least in ranking. In power, Bardock was pretty confident that he could defeat Paragus.

Paragus could be saved. Yet, the Saiyan would not want to abandon his son. Even when they tried to kill Broly, he wouldn't die. They didn't have time for it now anyways. This part of history would have to remain on course. At least for now.

Saiyan soldiers dragged Paragus away, as Bardock stepped forward to speak to the King. " King Vegeta. I must request a word with you."

King Vegeta, already annoyed because of Paragus, looked at Bardock with a scowl. " What is it that you want, Bardock? You know talking to the King directly is punishable by death, correct?"

" I know, sire. Just hear me out. This may sound insane, but I would not come to you otherwise. I will make this as short and quick as possible." Bardock started, confident in what he was saying, and not afraid of the outcome. He knew he would find a way for him and his family to live past this day. " On my last mission, which you know about, to Planet Kanassa, I was attacked right before departing. A dying survivor came to me and did not kill me, but gave me a power. That power is the ability to see the future."

" Ha! Can you seriously believe that, my lord? The ability to see the future?! What nonsense!"A young Saiyan by the name of Turip laughed at Bardock's story. He wore blue and white battle armor, blue battle tights, and had his hair tied back in a spiky ponytail. Turip was overconfident in every sense of the word, barely battle experienced, but even Bardock could see that the kid had a bit of potential in him.

Bardock rolled his eyes at Turip before returning his attention to King Vegeta, who had a two fingers on his beard as he thought about what he had just heard. " I will be blunt. I do not believe you, how could I believe the words of a low-class warrior?"

The low class Saiyan inwardly prepared for his second plan, when the King spoke something that surprised him. " But, you would not have come before me if it were not important. Assuming that you can see the future, what have you seen?"

Bardock knew that this was his only opportunity to convince the Saiyan King, and he planned to use it! " I have seen multiple events. The major one, Frieza destroys Planet Vegeta."

Chaos filled the room as Saiyans from all over the throne room began to speak, no words were able to be heard by Bardock, over all of the noise in the room. Suddenly, King Vegeta threw up his right hand, silencing all in the room.

" You claim that Frieza is to destroy our planet?! What proof do you have of such an accusation?!" King Vegeta asked, now worried that his own suspicions were coming true. He had been theorizing that Frieza had no further use for the Saiyans...and as such had made a plan to recover his son.

" I have only one solid proof that can not be argued against, my King. In my visions, I saw your plan to rescue your son, Prince Vegeta. The plan fails miserably, and Frieza kills you with a single uppercut. After that, your men are slain, and Frieza proceeds to destroy the planet." Bardock explained with a bow, as King Vegeta looked at him with a shocked expression. A bead of sweat dripped down the King's temple as he thought of the low-class Saiyan's words, and something is his gut made him believe that they were true. " Everyone! Out! I will think over Bardock's words and return within five minutes!"

With this, King Vegeta stood up and walked behind his throne, towards his chamber. His blue cape fluttered behind him as he excused himself.

Bardock smirked as he watched this. King Vegeta knew that his words were true, he could tell! That meant that soon enough, his family would be saved.

He had been given five minutes by the King, which meant that he had to get to Gine and warn her. She would get Kakarot, and evacuate before King Vegeta could even give the order.

Inside of her small home, Gine was casually humming to herself as she prepared meat for dinner. Bardock would be home soon. His favorite meat was cooking, they would have vegetables on the side, it would be a perfect evening.

Suddenly, Bardock burst through the door. This caused Gine to jump, before her husband ran over to her and hugged her tightly. The Saiyan female blushed a bit at this sudden appearance. " B-Bardock! You're home early!"

Bardock laughed and set down his wife before speaking. " I am. Though, this isn't our home for much longer."

Confused, Gine raised an eyebrow as the meat began to sizzle on the stove. " What do you mean?"

Bardock sighed and told his wife the story of the Kanassan, of King Vegeta, and some parts about Kakarot.

She looked at him blankly, trying to comprehend what she had just heard. Without a word, she turned off the stove and began to walk towards the door.

Her husband reached out to her with his right hand. " Gine? Where are you going?"

Gine smiled and turned to look at her husband with a goofy smile almost identical to Goku's. " To Earth. And to get our son. I believe you, Bardock. You're my husband. I believe that you aren't making this up."

A smile crossed Bardock's face at hearing this, and he hugged Gine one more time before running out of the house. " Get Kakarot! I've got some business to finish with King Vegeta!" With that, he took off into the air, confident.

King Vegeta entered the throne room as Bardock returned. The King looked calm and collected. " Ah. Bardock. I've come to a decision. You were correct on my plan, which I can say is proof enough of your Power. You and the other inhabitants shall evacuate. I and two of my soldiers will remain behind, and confront Frieza. I am not leaving my son behind."

At first Bardock had been smiling, but now a look of worry crossed his face. Not for himself, but for King Vegeta. Bardock didn't exactly care for the King, but he was throwing away his and other Saiyan's lives! They couldn't defeat Frieza! " King Vegeta! Frieza cannot be defeated! Not now! He is too powerful, even for you!"

A purple blast shot through the air, burning a small area of Bardock's shoulder as it hit the ground past him. The low class warrior looked up at the King, who looked down on him solemnly. " I don't know if your power has messed with your brain, so I'll give this to you as a warning. I will listen to your idea, to my extent. You are nothing but a low class warrior, and nothing more. Remember your place, or your life will be taken just like Paragus. Understood?"

Bardock clenched his fist before dashing at King Vegeta, punching him across the face, to the shock of the King!

King Vegeta held his cheek for a moment, before anger flooded his eyes and he retaliated with a right hook of his own against Bardock, knocking the warrior to the ground. " You fool!" King Vegeta held up his right hand, forming a sparking purple blast. " You will die for your actions!"

" Do you really think I would have attacked you if I didn't know your fate? King Vegeta, I not only know your fate, but that of your son! He will live! Even if he remains under Frieza, he will live and be free eventually! That I can promise you on my honor as a Saiyan!" Bardock shouted as he stood up, wiping a trickle of blood from his chin.

The King of the Saiyans looked at Bardock for a moment, making eye contact as he thought about the words he had heard about his son. In his heart, though King Vegeta hated the idea, he knew that he would die if he attacked Frieza.

Bardock hated the idea of running as well, but it was their only option. They needed to live to fight another day.

" Your crime will be forgive today. Yet if you speak a word of this, you will lose your life in exchange. I will give the order for the strongest Saiyans to take out Frieza's soldiers on the planet, there aren't many. Once that is done, we will evacuate. Now go." King Vegeta spoke as he walked off to gather his forces. He put a hand to his cheek, remembering Bardock's blow. His strength is almost comparable to mine. I felt that attack. He could become a threat…

Gine carried Kakarot as she ran along the docking bay for space pods. She had to get to Earth. Bardock had told her that he had ' unfinished business' to attend to, and that he would meet them soon. Pod number 1972 and 1973 were already programmed to take them straight to Earth.

As she neared her and Kakarot's pod, a soldier of Frieza stepped in front of her, blocking her soldier was as tall as Bardock, had light blue skin, and long yellow hair with a matching beard and mustache.

" What do we have here? A mother and her baby? Do you have a mission at the daycare?" Banan spoke as he laughed at Gine and Kakarot, before putting a button to his scouter. " Ha! You have a Power Level of one thousand, and your child is only a two! What kind of mission could you hope to accomplish?"

" I...have special orders from the King to take my baby into the pod and leave. Will that be a problem?" Gine asked nicely, her heartbeat quickening in speed. This man didn't seem friendly.

" Since when does the King's orders go over Lord Frieza's? Lord Frieza instructed for all Saiyan's to remain on the planet. Now come on!" Banan growled as he reached for Kakarot, and Gine moved quickly.

Kakarot was thrown into the air before Gine ducked and punched Banan in the gut with her right hand at lightning speed! As she pulled back her hand, Kakarot fell into her arms, laughing.

Banan starred forward in shock before collapsing to his knees and passing out. Gine was surprised at her own power, but shook her head as she ran towards her pod. She tucked Kakarot in as the baby began to tear up and whimper.

" Oh...Kakarot...don't worry. We'll be fine. Just sit here, and sleep. You'll see your mother and father soon." Gine spoke softly, and Kakarot closed his eyes as he drifted to sleep. His mother stood up and closed his pod, pressing the launch button, and sending her son off into the unknown void of space.

Gine climbed into her own pod and closed the door, preparing herself for the journey. As she looked up at the red sky, she realized that this might be the last time she would ever see her homeworld. She thought of Kakarot...of Bardock...and of Raditz. Her first born was still off on a mission...under Frieza's control. Oh Raditz...I know your father will find a way to save you...I know it!

And the pod launched off into the void of space, following her son, towards the planet Earth.
