With Kakarot off-planet, Bardock awaited the day of Vegeta's destruction.
...
It didn't happen.
Any hallucination of a star crashing into the planet became a mere dream as it failed to occur in the following days.
While waiting on Planet Vegeta, Bardock also shared his concerns with the rest of the Saiyans.
"You have to believe me, I've had visions before and they've always come true!"
Bardock, desperate, tried to warn his acquaintances at the market where Gine worked.
"Shut up!"
"Stop bothering!"
These were some of the words thrown by the others.
His repeated attempts led to one day, the Saiyans with less patience reacting violently.
"You! Low-class Saiyan! You're defaming Lord Freeza!"
"It's treason!" "He's definitely a traitor."
In this planet where the strongest rule, it's normal to find challenges to the order, so much so that with the few words of the crowd, his information was put on the desk of a high-class Saiyan the next day.
"Stop throwing things! I understand. I'm going home." 'In fact, maybe I was wrong this time.' Bardock left, leaving the boos behind.
Gine stayed behind to continue her work.
She had already caused enough trouble by being in front of her stall.
In the square, however, Bardock and his recent madness continued to be discussed.
"Seriously. What's gotten into him?"
"I heard he got infected with a disease on a distant planet. Did it mess with his brain?"
"It's too late now, causing such a commotion will surely earn him a spot in jail."
"He's lucky he worked in the royal army; if he were a common Saiyan, he'd be eliminated on the spot."
"Hey! Enough already! Obviously, he cares about you! It's not right to be so unpleasant!"
Gine intervened in the dissatisfied group across from her, not wanting to hear someone speak ill of Bardock.
"Gine. Don't get like that! You've heard him. He's delusional."
Her friend on the right interrupted, fearing what might come next.
"They don't understand, I firmly believe in him."
Gine responded with a determined look.
Everyone around looked apprehensive.
They knew siding with a 'traitor' would only lower them to the same level.
The only difference is that Gine was a low-class Saiyan without backing.
*Boom*
The explosion was not long in coming. The Saiyan who was on his way to imprison Bardock heard Gine's words.
*Hmp* "what I hate the most are traitors."
The smoke from the explosion cleared, revealing Gine semi-naked but gravely wounded.
"Ohho... Resisting the law. That's another treason, what a pity, you were a good woman,"
Mocked the unknown Saiyan.
"Mercy, Lord Oneon! She poses no threat! "
Gine's friends came out to defend her; hopefully, the high-class noble will overlook this incident.
"You low-class people don't understand. This.." he points at Gine. "Isn't qualified to continue living here" Oneon made his intentions clear.
Even those who spoke ill of Bardock before didn't want such an unfortunate thing to happen to kind Gine.
*Hiah!*
Gine wasn't going to apologize; she only had to counterattack.
*Boom*
"Dare to attack me! A good woman! But not mine, so suffer the consequences!"
As if he were a mirage, Oneon emerged from the smoke and stood in front of Gine with his leg raised.
I don't need to explain more; Gine died that day.
Meanwhile, Bardock was pensive at home.
"All my visions of the future have come true. Did my power fail? Is it because of the distance in the future? It's strange... Anyway, even if Freeza doesn't plan to destroy my home, most of his army doesn't hide their disdain for us, allowing Freeza to mean that he despises us too."
Bardock continued with his household chores while deciding his next steps.
"Should I flee with my squad? Of all, only Nail and Naif were prepared for evacuation as agreed. Nail is a Namekian; I heard that Namek is a relatively remote planet. If it weren't for the excellence of their race, no one would care about that planet."
*Knock knock*
"Who could it be? Did any of those ignorants dare to follow me home? I'll have to beat them up; I won't allow them to bother in this place."
"Hello?" Bardock asked as he opened the door.
"I'm Oneon, pleased to meet you!" Oneon bowed slightly.
"Hello. What brings you here?" Bardock still didn't think his actions would bring repercussions so quickly.
Sure, here is the translation of the text:
**"Don't worry, it's just routine questions. You don't always have a high-class Saiyan waiting at your door,"** Oneon clarified, then joked with a smile.
Bardock's heart skipped a beat. Is it love?
No! It's his instinct, something was telling him something was wrong.
"Come into my house, Mr. Oneon. Although I don't suffer from it, I have my experiences. Once I even received an offer to join a noble house as an aide," Bardock informed him to make it clear that he was not a weak prey, but someone with enough courage to be recognized.
His power level had already surpassed that of high-class Saiyans, at least those of a year ago. Normally, this would even be the common peak of high-class Saiyans, but so many wars had stimulated the Saiyans as a whole, increasing the average power level.
"That's impressive! Then why hasn't anything been heard of you until now?" This time, Oneon didn't fake his expression.
It is rare to let a lower-class Saiyan be accepted among the nobility. Only then would Bardock have the qualification to raise the status of his bloodline.
"It was an incident a few months ago. The planet that infected the entire army. Have you heard of that?" Bardock bragged.
While it's a bit traumatic to wake up in the middle of the vacuum of space with bodies floating around him, being the only survivor of a high-risk planet is something to be proud of.
"Yes, I've heard about that... Anyway. Are you sure you've been away for a long time, right?"
Oneon regained his composure, he came here with a purpose, he was not going to neglect his duties.
"Why?" The confused Bardock asked.
"No, nothing..." 'There have been many changes while the Saiyan has not set foot on the planet, it is normal that he does not know the new rules, but it is too late for him, he will have to serve his sentence and if he resists... he will end up like his wife.'
"Do you recognize this?" Oneon pulled a furry tail out of his suit, apparently it had torn from someone.
Bardock's hair stood on end, that tail smelled familiar, but he couldn't recognize it right away
'Oneon is getting closer. Will he want to tell me in a low voice? Why all the secrecy? '
With a smile, Oneon approached and delivered a surprise punch to Bardock's stomach, successfully stunning him.
"You're officially under arrest."
