head, embarrassed. "You were probably somewhere else with your thoughts, right?" Toba grinned cheekily at Bardock and peeked at Chilet. Bardock immediately took a look at the situation. "What do you think of at night?" He said indignantly.


Toba just loved "kidding" Bardock. Although he was 7 years older than Bardock, so 25 years and Bardock was actually stronger than him, he liked him. The two were best friends and they always teased each other.Before Bardock, Toba was the group leader ... But Bardock had exceeded the strength and skill and Toba, and now Bardock was the leader.


"I was just kidding!" Smiled Toba and hid behind Chilet. Chilet hadn't gotten any of this. Should that be an allusion? Did Toba think Bardock had thought of her?


"Then I'll go and ask when we start.", Chilet said resolutely and walked towards the door. "Where are you going, Chilet?" Asked Bardock and followed her. "I will now ask when we start. Somebody has to find out."


"Wait .. I'll come with you. It would look stupid if you came instead of me."


Chilet waited by the door for Bardock to get to her. Bardock looked back at the others. "We'll be right back."


Toba grinned. “Have fun!” Bardock heard this .. and winced. "I didn't hear that !!" he replied and then pushed Chilet through the door.He really wanted to escape the talk.




The two then finally walked down the aisle side by side. Either of them had to break the silence. After all, the corridor was very long, and neither of them felt like walking next to each other without saying a word.


"Bardock ...", Chilet began and stopped. Bardock stopped too. “Yes?” Chilet stared at the floor, unsure how to phrase it. "Spit it out," said Bardock. Chilet looked up at him. He was a lot bigger than she ... "What did you really think about when you were told when we were going to start?"


Bardock looked into Chilet's eyes. "I ..." he started, then turned his head away. "I ... thought ...", he turned his head back to Chilet. "And about what?"


Bardock did not know what to answer now. He had actually thought about everything. About Chilet, the group ... the next assignment ... "I've thought about everything.", Then he paused."Let's go on ..." he said then, then turned to go.


"Let's go ...", she agreed, and so they marched on.


When they got where they wanted to go, they stopped in front of a door. "I'm going to the chief of operations ... If you want to come with me.", Bardock looked at Chilet. She returned his gaze. "If you don't mind, I'll come with you," she said and was about to open the door. When Bardock already did.


Both entered.


They were with the head of operations secretary. "Excuse me.", Bardock began as he walked towards the woman. "What can I do for you?" Replied the woman and smiled at him. "I'm General Bardock. I'm here to find out when I and my Troop 17 should leave for the planet Zag."


The secretary nodded understandably. "Just a moment ... I'll quickly find the file .."


She rummaged around for a while. "There it is," she said finally, and put the file on the table.Then she opened the file and shook her head. "I'm sorry .. But it doesn't say anything about the planet Zag here."


"What? That can't be. King Vegeta told me himself that we should conquer the planet Zag ... Why isn't there anything in there?"


The secretary shook her head again. "I'm sorry. I can't find anything about the planet Zag. Maybe Mr. Zuhada knows more. If you want, I can make an appointment for you ..."


"It has to be the same !!", Bardock hit the table with his palm. The secretary gave him an intimidated look. "I ..." she stuttered and got up from the seat. "One moment please ..." She knocked on Mr. Zuhada's door. Then she went in and came out a few minutes later.


"You ... can see him right away. He will see you in 10 minutes."


"What? Only in 10 minutes?", Bardock's anger rose. But he tried to control himself and paced nervously and full of anger around the room.

Chilet sat on a sofa and watched Bardock. After a while the thread of patience broke. "Can you stop running around ??? That makes you really nervous !!!!" Chilet's eyebrow twitched up nervously and she looked at him dangerously. "Then the 10 minutes should finally be over !!" he grumbled back and stopped. After some hesitation, he sat down next to Chilet.


Finally the 10 minutes were over. Mr. Zuhada stepped out of his office. "Please come," he said and went back to his office.


Chilet and Bardock rose and followed him.


"Please sit down. And please excuse me for making you wait so long.", He pointed to the two chairs that were in front of his desk.


Both sat down. "So ... what can I do for you?"


Chilet was about to open her mouth when Bardock cut her word off.


"King Vegeta said this is Group 17's next mission on the planet Zag.And now I wanted to know when we start, but your secretary out there said that there was nothing on the file about the planet Zag !! I want to have that explained right away! "


"I see ... your concern is ... that you want to know why there is nothing in the file?", The Saiyajin folded his hands together with interest, and waited for Bardock's answer.


"I want to know something like that ... And I want an answer immediately, I've already lost enough time !!", Bardock had now got up from his chair and threatened to hold his hand in the direction of the head of operations. This just looked at him. His eyes showed no emotion, no feelings. He just looked at him. "Please sit down again."


Bardock was still standing and didn't want to sit down, only when Chilet grabbed Bardock's hand and pulled it down so that he had to sit down, he did it too. "So ... I want to explain the whole thing to you," said Mr. Zuhada. He waved his hand and looked Bardock and Chilet in the eye.

"The whole thing is easy to explain .... It's true, you received the order from King Vegeta, but .... The king was worried about the fighting power. The warriors on the planet Zag are very strong. You have a minimum combat strength of 12,000 and that means something. Anyway ... Before I wrote the assignment in the file, King Vegeta came to me and said that her group shouldn't go to Zag after all, so I got it not written on the file. And that means they won't go to Zag. "


"And what does that mean now? Will the planet be conquered by another group?"


"Let's put it this way ... Group 3 was sent to the planet. But only for observation. The group looks at what the quality of the planet really is, and how strong the Zagians are at rest ..."


"Group 3 ??" asked Chilet, astonished. "But this group is only responsible for conquering planets."


"Yes, yes .. But this time you get another job."

Chilet sighed. Then she imagined what would happen if her father and brother died ...? Your mother would be devastated .. Then you only had her .. Chilet .. "We have to support group 3 !!", Chilet suddenly said and jumped up from the chair. Bardock looked puzzled. "What do you want?" He asked. "I want to support Group 3 !!" she repeated. Bardock shook his head. "No.", he said in a dominant voice.


Chilet winced. Bardock had never screamed like this before. She looked at him in amazement. "How ... why not ...?" She asked quietly and uncertainly.


"This is the job of group 3! This is YOUR mission! We cannot simply support them if we do not have the order to do so !!"


"But ... but ..." she stammered. "Nothing but ... I know the Zagians are strong. But if we don't have orders to help, we mustn't do anything!"


Tears welled up in Chilet's eyes."But ... but ..." she stuttered again. Then the tears flowed down her cheeks. Bardock remained seated, screwed up his eyes and bowed his head. Had he made her cry now? He didn't want that! It wasn’t on purpose. It’s just a fact that he wasn’t allowed to do anything. He just kept to the rules. Bardock raised his head again and met the operations manager's eyes. "Could you .. maybe send us to the planet Zag too? Group 3 won't have it easy," he said. When Chilet heard this, she couldn't believe her ears. What did he just say? He wants to go to the planet Zag to support them?


"I mean ... The Zagians are enormously strong, and if they are discovered ... it would be a lot better if there were more Saiyajins there, wouldn't it?" When Bardock said that, he sounded a little unsettled. Suddenly a thought shot into his head .. What was he doing? Did he say that for Chilet so that she would be with Group 3 .. or did he want to go and scout himself?

The chief of operations thought for a while. Then he leafed through different files and looked for different things. Now and then he looked up at Bardock.


After about 2 minutes of searching, he finally said. "Well .. I've had a look at it first. You will be sent to Planet Zag with your Group 17. You will support Group 3, which is already on the planet. If it comes to a fight, you should be like that The enemy is strong, like we said before ... They'll be exploring the planet closely and watching the Zagians ... When they have the information they need, they'll get back to Vegeta as soon as possible come .. Understood? ", the chief of operations looked at him carefully. Would he be able to handle such a task? As far as he knew, Bardock had never done anything like this before. And yet he was the general of the 17th group.


"Got it ..." said Bardock and got up from the seat."When should we start?" "As soon as possible.", Zuhada replied. "We ... will leave tomorrow ..." said Bardock. Then he looked at Chilet. "Come on," he said to her and went out of the room. Chilet followed without a word.




When they got back to the
