Twelve years have passed since the destruction of planet Vegeta and arrival of little Kakarot on planet Earth. In the meantime, he made friend's with Bulma, Oolong, Yamcha, Puar, Master Roshi, Krillin and many others while he helped Bulma to collect all the dragon balls. He fought in the Word Martial Arts Tournament and almost won, but the young boy lost in the final match against Jackie Chun. After the tournament was over he decided to find his grandpa four-star ball but to do that he needed to defeat the Red Ribbon Army which came in his way, and he did, but not without a cost. One of the Red Ribbon mercenaries killed Goku's friend father. Seeing how sad his friend was Goku decided that with the dragon balls he will wish his friend father back to life. The small boy with a tail had six of seven dragon balls and only one ball was left to be found, but there was a problem. The dragon radar couldn't pick up the location of the last ball which surprised the group. Goku and his friends went to Kame House so they could think of a way to find the last missing dragon ball, but little did they know that something or rather somebody was approaching their planet
" WARNING! THREE MINUTES UNTIL LANDING!" Warned the robotic yet feminine voice inside the round metal object which was entering earth's atmosphere with great speed
"Finally, I'm here. I hope everything is alright with you, son" Thought the man while he was sitting inside the metal object. He was traveling twelve years through space going from planet to planet so that he could find his other son but failed at that. After all those years of searching, he decided to go to Earth and find his youngest son
It was a beautiful sunny day on planet Earth when the metal pod hit the ground on some deserted island. After few minutes, the man with a scar on his face walked out from the pod. He was wearing an armor, similar to the one he had when he and his squad were ambushed years ago. He wore a device with a small green glass and a red bandana on his forehead. Even tho, he learned how to feel the energy of other beings he still kept his device, hoping that maybe he would receive a transmission from his son or another saiyan if there was any that is. He didn't want to waste any more time, he closed his eyes as he tried to feel strong energies. The man was a bit surprised when he sensed quite a powerful signal, but then he felt it, an energy which was the same like his. A smirk appeared on his strong face and immediately flew in the sky
"See Bulma, the dragon radar must be broken" Said the little boy with his tail waving behind his back when he saw that the last dragon ball wasn't showing on the radar
"But I checked the radar and everything is ok with it!" Argued the blue haired girl back as she pressed the tip of the radar hoping that will locate the last dragon ball already, but nothing. She was irritated by this and angrily put the radar on the table, causing the talking pig Oolong and talking cat Puar to back off a bit
"So what that means, Bulma?" Asked the tall young teen with a short black hair as he sat on the chair while he received a glare from the girl which he didn't notice
"Well, it could only mean that the ball was, is eaten by some animal so we can't pick the signal" Answered the girl while she leaned back on the couch
"But how will I find it then?" Asked the young boy who wasn't happy with what he was told. He really needed to find the last dragon ball, he made a promise to his friend. The others around him were quiet, each of them trying to think of something when...
"You could go to Baba's place" Spoke the old master as he tried to cut off the few hairs which were inside his nose
"Baba's place?" Everybody asked at the same time. All of them looked at the older man who was still turned at them with his back
"Yes, Baba's place. Every time I lose something or I can't remember where I put it, I go to Baba's place, she is a fortune-teller" Explained to the others the martial arts master as he winced in pain after he took out the hair from his nose
"What's a fotune-teller?" Asked the young boy with a brown tail as he glanced at his bald friend who was sitting near him
"Fortune-teller, Goku! That's a person who can see your future or like Master Roshi said" Explained the bald boy who couldn't believe how dense his friend was sometimes
"Ohh. I'm going then" Goku happily announced as he stood up from the floor. He was already prepared to go and visit this Baba person when a voice stopped him
"Wait Goku! I, Krillin and Puar are also going with you" Said Yamcha to Goku as he stood up from the chair. He didn't want to miss another adventure and maybe, this would help him get stronger
"Ohh just wait for me guys, I must go to the bathroom" Yelled Krillin who quickly ran to the bathroom while the others continued talking while he was in there
While they were getting ready and talked to each other, outside the house a man just set foot on the island. He scanned the whole area around him after which he walked toward the doors and just once, but with enough force knocked on the door
"Launch, can you open the doors please?" The old master asked politely on which the blue haired woman smiled
"Yes, no problem Master Roshi" Smiled Launch as she went to the doors and opened them "Hello sir are you looking for someone?" Asked the beautiful girl with a smile on her face as she looked at the stranger who oddly enough remained her of someone she knew
"The name is Bardock, but I came here looking fo..." He never finished the sentence because of what his eyes caught. He passed by Launch almost knocking her on the floor, only to stop when he arrived close to Goku "Kakarot, that's really you!" Said the man by the name Bardock with relief. It seemed like his visions about his youngest son being here safe weren't wrong, at least something good come from them
"Huh? I'm not Kakarot, my name is Goku, who are you?" Asked Goku who was confused by this man. He never heard that name before nor did anyone called him by that name
"Yes, that was my next question" Said Bulma as she glared at the man who just like that barged inside
"Kakarot don't you remember me!? Don't you know who I'm?" Bardock didn't bother with Bulma's words nor with the looks of everyone around him and his son. What really bothered him was something that he feared the most, something that many saiyan children suffered from when they were sent off planet at a very young age
"Hmm, no"
"My name is Bardock and I'm your father" Declared Bardock who after he said that left everyone in the house shocked and without any words. The one who was the most shocked of them all was, of course, Goku whose eyes were wide open as he stared at the man with a scar on his face
"M-My father?" Mumbled Goku who followed Bardock with his eyes as the man kneeled down and looked at his son with a smirk
"Hey, Goku doesn't have a father! He only had his grandpa until he died" Yelled Yamcha who didn't believe that this stranger was Goku's father. The teen quickly stopped himself from saying anything when he noticed the dangerous scowl on Bardock's face
"Easy Yamcha, you can tell that they look alike" Roshi placed a hand on the young teen when he also noticed the look on the other man face. It even made him, carefully chose the words which to use "If you really are his father, we need some proof of that" Said Master Roshi who observed the man in front of his talented pupil. What made him uneasy about this man was the power he could feel, it even made him shake a bit
"Alright, how about this" The man was standing in front of his son when he unwrapped the tail from his waist and show it to the others
"A-A TAIL?!" Everybody yelled in shock when they saw the exact brown tail like Goku's. The only difference was that Bardock's tail was a bit longer and furrier
"Hey you have a tail just like me, that's nice" Smiled Goku who was happy to see that there was someone else with a tail. The tail of his father found its way to Goku's and wrapped itself around it. Goku thought that he would lose strength and collapse on the floor, but it was the opposite. He didn't understand why, but he felt nice and good when Bardock did that which didn't go unnoticed by the older man who smirked before he faced the others
"Yes, but why don't all of you sit down so I can explain some things" With that being said some sat on the couch and some on the floor while Bardock remained standing "Like I said before my name is Bardock and yes, you are my son Kakarot. You are not from this planet, you were born on planet Vegeta and you're a Saiyan just like me" Explained Bardock leaving the others even more shocked with what he just revealed
"I'm from another planet?!" Yelled the small saiyan who couldn't believe that he was from another planet, it was shocking not only for him but also for the others too
"Yea right, this man is lying Goku. Can't you all see that!" Exclaimed Yamcha who found this story absurd. but only to been hit on the head from Roshi
"You can continue Bardock"
"Like I was saying, you are not from this planet. You were sent here because... you were one of the weakest on our planet" Stated Bardock who lied. He could tell that his son wasn't a normal saiyan anymore so there weren't any reason to tell him what his true mission was, besides there was no need in depopulating the planet since they weren't working for him anymore
"Goku the weakest? How strong are you saiyans then ?" Asked Bulma who like few others were surprised to hear the reason Goku was sent here. It was unbelievable to hear that Goku was sent here because he was weak
"We were the strongest and most prideful race in the universe" Bardock speak with great pride as he remembered the old times, but then "But that is long gone" he concluded with bitterness which didn't go unnoticed
"What you mean by that?" Asked the old martial artist who had a bad suspicion toward that
"Our planet was destroyed twelve years ago, right after Kakarot was sent here. Kakarot and I are probably the only saiyans left" Explained Bardock who clenched his fist anger
"Enough Bardock, I know that you are telling the truth" Said Roshi as he stood up from the floor. He could feel the rising energy in the saiyan which told him that it was something he didn't like to talk about, which was understandable
"But master how can you believe him that much?" Asked Yamcha who violently stood up from his chair causing it to slam on the ground
"Because I can see, feel his pain Yamcha, and only a fool wouldn't be able to see that they look the same" Roshi spoke to Yamcha with a raised voice which caused the teen to stay quiet. While Roshi scolded Yamcha, Bulma glared at Bardock who even tho he didn't look at her, could feel her gaze
"Ok, but I have one question then. Why did you wait twelve years to come here and find Goku?" Asked Bulma angrily as she glared at the saiyan who saw this coming. Through his travels in space, he learned a lot from other races, such as feelings, which didn't make sense to him, but then again he had another reason
"I was looking for my other son" He walked past the couch and watched the sea through the window "I was hoping that I will find him but, unfortunately, I didn't" an image of his older son flashed in front of his eyes which caused him to bite inside his mouth until he felt a metallic like taste on his tongue
"I-I am sorry, I-I didn't know" Bulma now felt sorry for the man, she probably caused him pain by reminding him of his son and it was all because of her
" I had a brother?" Asked Goku who was now sad, he really wondered how his brother looked, how strong he was and how would it be for the two of them training together
"Yes my son, his name was Raditz. He was six years older than you, but enough about that. I'm glad I found you" Bardock angry expression melted away as he turned around and smiled a little while he approached Goku and lifted him in the air "I can see you trained, haven't you?" asked the saiyan with a scar on his face who noticed and felt the little muscles
"Yes I did, my grandpa trained me and so did Master Roshi" Shouted Goku in his cheerful way while he was lifted in the air
"I see.. Are you for a fight Kakarot?" Smirked Bardock as he lowered his son to the floor and didn't need to wait too long for an answer
"I would like to fight you, let's go outside!" Exclaimed Goku to his father excited like never before on which Bardock just let out a quiet laugh while he followed his son
Everybody went outside to see this fight. Krillin who was in the bathroom the whole time was shocked when the others fill him in with the stuff that happened while he was gone. Goku moved into his fighting pose while Bardock remained standing with his arms crossed on the other side
"Son, attack me with your full power. Don't hold anything back!" Yelled Bardock from the other side of the island as he observed his son
"Alright, Hyaa!" Goku launched himself and attacked Bardock. He tried to deliver few punches on Bardock, but the older Saiyan blocked everything with just one hand. Goku tried to us his rock-paper-scissors attack, but nothing, Bardock just smiled at his son attack name
"Huhh... You're strong... Ok, I will try this then" Said Goku while breathing. The young saiyan boy placed his hands in front and then moved the beside his small body. In that moment, Bardock's scouter detected a rise in Goku's power level "KAA-MEE-HAA-MEE-HAAA!" Yelled Goku as he fired the blue energy wave. The wave was about to hit Bardock, but the strong saiyan just deflected the wave with his left hand. Everybody was so amazed how easily Bardock deflected Goku 's attack that they couldn't even say a word
"Not bad, but you need more training son" With that Bardock vanished and let Goku without a clue where his father was, but to his surprise Bardock reappeared in front of him. He punched his son in the stomach, which caused Goku to fall on the ground, unconsciousness
"Wow, did you see that?" Asked Krillin with his eyes fully open. He never saw someone move that fast, heck he didn't even saw him move!
"No-no, what just happened?" Asked Yamcha the same thing back at Krillin. He was shocked just the same, he couldn't believe that there was someone so much stronger than Goku
"He knocked Goku out with just one punch, well with that we can say that he is Goku's father" Laughed Master Roshi while everyone was still shocked by Bardock's performance. Bardock picked his son and went inside the house. He placed him on the couch and while he backed away from his sleeping son he noticed Yamcha's presence behind his back
"Hm... emm.. I want to apologize for what I say before" As Bardock turned around Yamcha shifted his gaze away, even tho this was Goku's father the guy was scary and made him uneasy
"Don't worry, it's nothing" Replied the saiyan as he passed near Yamcha who eased a bit with that. As he passed him he was able to notice the fear which made him smirk. He was, after all, a saiyan and striking fear to others was only natural. He moved his head in front when he saw the old man and decided to at least say something to the man who trained his son "Thank you old man, for training Kakarot" Said Bardock to Master Roshi who smiled
"Thank you, but I only taught him the basics, he was already strong"
After some minutes passed, Goku came to his senses and asked what happened. Roshi explained how he was beaten by one punch and fainted after that. Goku was amazed by his father strength which was now his new goal. He wanted to be strong as his father one day. Then on his mind come the thought of Upa and his father. Goku told to everyone that they must go to Baba's place. Everybody went outside so they could enter inside the jet, except for Launch, Oolong and Turtle who decided to stay home
"NIMBUS" Yelled Goku when suddenly a yellow cloud appeared in the sky while it flew towards them
"What is that Kakarot?" Asked Bardock as he observed the cloud which stopped in front of Goku. He never saw a yellow flying cloud before which made him curious
"Oh, this is a flying Nimbus. Master Roshi gave it to me after I saved his turtle and it seems that only I can fly it" Said Goku as he jumped on the yellow cloud with a smile
"How come?"
"Mater Roshi said you need to have a pure heart or something like that, do you wanna try to fly on Nimbus?" The young Goku sat on the cloud and asked the question to Bardock
"No, I'm sure that I can't ride it" He answered as he crossed his arms and noticed the confused look on his son's face which thankfully didn't last for too long. There wasn't even a small chance that he could ride it when he, after all, purged so many planets
"Then you come with us in the jet, Bardock" Called Yamcha who was sitting in the pilot seat. The saiyan didn't even bother to look at the group in the jet as he slowly started to levitate
"There is no need for that, I will just fly there" Mumbled Bardock and flew in the sky while the others inside the jet were once again surprised by the saiyan abilities. The mature saiyan slowed down a bit when he heard Goku's voice
"Wow, you can fly! Will you teach me?" Asked Goku all excited with the fact that his father could fly. Bardock laughed at the expression his son made before he spoke
"Of course, when we finish this you and I will train, alright?" He looked at Goku only to see the boy's smile grew even bigger
"Yes, I can't wait to learn new stuff!" Shouted Goku while he was standing on the nimbus cloud with little fists above his head. Bardock observed his son with a smirk on his face as they flew while the others in the jet catch up with them
