Chichi woke up and rubbed her eyes sleepily. First she turned her gaze to her alarm clock to find out that it was 3 a.m. Then a source of light caught her eye, coming from the door wide open, interrupted only by the shape of a small, stubby-haired boy. Chichi groaned and propped herself up on her elbows. “What are you doing here, in the middle of the night?” The passage light clearly showed how he was swinging his tail back and forth, and she thought she could see how he raised his little arm. “I was longing for you.” She switched on her bedside lamp and he came up to her, skipping up to her. He crawled up to her. Chichi noticed that he only used one hand. Then he sat down next to her and snuggled up a little. She could see that he was holding something. Amazed, she leaned down to his hand to take a closer look at the object. The little one understood and raised his hand so that she could see exactly what he had brought with him.It was a sphere made of a shiny, unknown material, golden-brown in color, with four bright red stars in it. "What ... is that?" She asked. Kakarott sighed audibly. "I want to tell you something ... listen carefully! I want to tell you a story," he said with an important expression. “Now go ahead.” “Okay.” He took a deep breath.




_ "You know ... back then on earth ... as soon as I landed, an old man found me." _




"And you killed him," she said contemptuously.




_ "No ... not right away anyway. He took me in ... he cared for me, fed me, played with me. Or at least tried to, because I resisted with all my might strange name ... Son Goku. Anyway, as long as I couldn't speak. But I didn't bother telling him my real name. I killed him in cold blood. "_




"I thought so." Chichi made a sullen face.



"Yes ... but you know, when I was standing over his corpse, his eyes so empty ... I was sorry. He was the only person I had known then. Nobody else. And I am not like the other Saiyajins, I'm a freak. Not only am I weak in comparison ... I just need someone who likes me. And Gohan, that was the man's name, was very fond of me. I think so nobody else had me ... until you came. Otousan only likes me a little, but mainly he despises me because of my weakness. Just like Raditz. I don't know many other than that, but it's the same with them. But you, you are human ... and you humans do not despise people because they are weak. "_




She smiled. "Thanks ... but what is this ball about now?"




"The sphere was Gohan's possession ... when I left the cabin in the forest to fulfill my mission, I took it with me. As a souvenir. Gohan's legacy, so to speak."



For a while both were mute. It was almost a sacred atmosphere after what Kakarott had said. His gaze was riveted on the sphere and his eyes softened. And Chichi, she smiled. Kakarott wasn't a bad person at all, which was only evident here, that night, in her bedroom. Still she wondered. After all, he still had all of humanity on his conscience. But Bardock would surely know more. At that moment it didn't matter.




The two only noticed that time had not waited for them when dusk began and it was getting lighter. Chichi thought he heard birds singing. Apparently there was such a thing as birds on this planet. Strange. Vegetasei was so strange to her, and yet so similar to the earth ... She looked to the side and saw that Kakarott had fallen asleep. The boy looked peaceful. And maybe, maybe there was a way to protect him from the horrors of this world ... Chichi smiled.

* 10. Bardock comes Home and Goodbye for Chichi *




Bardock's team, along with another team, Ferrat's, had to go on a conquest. Now they were in the middle of a battle.




Ferrat saw a local shoot at him, but cleverly blocked the energy beam. Then he rose furiously a few meters above the ground and shot wildly, so that all the locals in the area fell victim to him. He raged, raged. He was a proud elite second class warrior, one of the strongest at that, and it annoyed him immensely that he had to deal with Bardock and his third class team. Ferrat was thrown from behind by a blow. Fully hit, he stumbled forward, but then turned around in a flash and severed his opponent's head from his neck with a clean blow of the edge of his hand. He looked over at the others: they too were just about to finish off the last inhabitants of this planet.Ferrat turned his gaze to Bardock's team. He didn't like to admit it, but they were good. Almost as good as his troops. But of course that was impossible with third-class soldiers.




After their work was done, the exhausted warriors rested. A campfire was lit and both teams gathered in a circle around it. They fried the rest of their supplies and had a good time. Two or three Saiyajins began a conversation, creating a cozy atmosphere.




Bardock thought about it. About his son ... Kakarott. He was so extraordinary - how do you say? Gently. Yes, gentle was the right word. Others would have said "soft", but that would be too derogatory. Bardock didn't know what to make of it. Should he consider it bad that the little one fell out of line? Or was it positive ... Bardock really didn't know. Kindness and helpfulness weren't bad qualities in and of themselves, but a Saiyan had to be tough to survive.Almost a shame ...




"Hey, Bardock!", Celipa shouted and tore the addressee from his thoughts. He grumbled softly. “What is it?” She laughed out loud. "What about your sons anyway? Anything new from them? I heard Raditz was back home." "Maybe," he replied harshly.


There was a loud laugh, so sudden it made Bardock startled. A bardock, now very angry, turned to the source of laughter and saw Ferrat. Well, he seemed to find the whole thing very amusing! "What's so weird, Ferrat?" He asked skeptically. "Bardock, Bardock, you are really poor!" The team leader snorted. "Can you tell me why?" The other replied, annoyed. "Really, two failed sons! One a bully and a show-off, the other a sissy! I don't want to trade with you!", The whole Ferrat team laughed. Panboukin laughed a little too, but fell silent immediately when Bardock glared at him.



"Oh, don't let them tease you," Tomas' voice whispered in his ear. He had to smile. You can always rely on Toma. The two warriors had been best friends for years. They had been through a lot together and were almost never apart, especially since Bardock's wife died. It had been a hard slap in the face for him, but his friends had helped him get over it, and Toma especially.




But when Bardock saw Ferrat's warriors laugh and puff himself up senselessly, he became sad. It was always the same. Frieza suppressed the Saiyans, and they went along with it. Most of them didn't care, they even praised Frieza for making their living conditions easier through the planet trade. But Frieza had long since figured out Bardock. The deceitful lizard used the proud Saiyajins for its own benefit. And that annoyed him. But what annoyed him even more was that these proud people, and above all their king, put up with it.Of course, the king was afraid of Frieza, for which he had every reason, for Frieza's strength was immeasurable. Still, he wondered if it wasn't better to take the risk of mass slaughtering Saiyans than to bow to such humiliation day after day.


* Hmph. * Thought Bardock. * Great, now I'm in a bad mood. *




Then he got up and saluted. "Guys, I have to go," he said and flew off in the direction of his space capsule. The rest looked up in amazement. Then Celipa got up and flew after him. Likewise Panboukin. The two soon caught up with their friend and team leader. "Hey, what's gotten into you?" Asked Celipa. "Exactly, what are you in such a hurry, eh?" Added Panboukin. "I have my reasons.", Bardock only replied and accelerated. Celipa wanted to fly after him, but Panboukin said they should leave him alone. Celipa just nodded and the two turned back.




When they were back with the others, Toma immediately asked: "What about him?"" Oh, who knows, he just said he had his reasons. It won't be bad. ", answered Panboukin casually in his carefree manner." Hn. ", Toma only made and nodded. The remaining warriors ate, drank and chatted on in peace.




"Tap," it did when Bardock's feet came hard on the stony ground. He had landed in the crater his space capsule had created when it landed. It had crashed onto the surface of the planet at such a speed that it created a crater ten meters in diameter. He quickly pressed the button that started the automatic system that opened the door, and as soon as the space capsule was open, he got in. He quickly fastened the seat belts, closed the door, and started. He did not look back at the planet, which was just one deprived place of many. The gas set in quickly, which would put him in a sleep-like state, and he passed out.



When the warrior awoke, he was still in his space capsule, which had come to a standstill on one of the many landing sites. The landing sites were round, and consisted of an elastic material that caught the space capsules as they crashed at high speed.


Still fogged from sleeping gas, Bardock watched as a few hangar workers came running towards his capsule. He watched the door open and got up with some effort. The two workers supported him until the unsteady feeling was gone from his legs and he could walk again. Without hesitation, he made the quickest way to his home.




Chichi and Kakarott were just alone and played a little bit of sinking ships. Raditz had gone to the training hall to spar with friends, and so the two of them had the apartment to
