Meat Planet

At the end, Bardock simply grabbed the names written by his babbling wife and left their home.

It didn't take long for him to gather his new team.

He didn't do it personally, that's what Freeza's minions are for in the operation bases.

Since Raditz wasn't on the planet, Kakarot was suspended in the incubation capsule and had already said goodbye to Gine, Bardock and his team boarded the spaceship prepared by the legion.

The journey was uneventful, not much can be expected from space except for the endless sea of stars.

Luckily, the ship also had a suspension mode cabin.

As the name implies, it puts you to sleep until your destination.

'I heard something interesting from Radil, he already calculated the time he has spent sleeping on his journey in his life.'

'Two decades!'

'Can you believe it?'

'This also has an explanation, before space travel wasn't as advanced as it is today.'

'That's why Radil has been doing so many missions lately. To make up for lost time.'

'Decided, from the next planet, he'll find something boring to do during the flight.'

After a space lunch, Bardock decided it was time to go to bed.

He slept until they arrived at the Meat planet.

It's the homeworld of the Meatians.

The planet's color and sky really resemble the color of meat.

The inhabitants seem to be purple and white insectoid beings.

The surface of Meat planet is rocky and in the distance, various stone buildings can be seen.

Bardock's new squad's ship landed in the arid desert.

*Cacha*

The ship opened to let out the Saiyans.

"At last, land!"

Frok couldn't help but sigh.

Sleeping in machines rusts the body.

"Hey Frok! Wait! Captain Bardock's orders are still in effect."

Naif remembered that her always rebellious sister disappeared on the last mission, she doesn't want the same thing to happen to this old man.

"Do you really think such a deserted planet would have a deadly virus?"

Chopsu intervened to Naif's displeasure.

If there's something Naif doesn't like, it's people ignoring her.

"That doesn't matter now, Bardock will stay on the ship for the first few days, if you don't behave, and follow the instructions, it would be useless to station oneself to command."

Pleit intervened, he has finally been given the qualifications to enter the official army of Planet Vegeta, he can't waste the opportunity.

All Saiyans who want to can go on missions for their own good or for the Saiyan race.

But entering the official army is another thing.

Here he might be able to leave a mark that will last for decades.

"Yeah, yeah, I understand, damn it. Where is your Saiyan spirit?"

Frok's complaints were not delayed, he is already too old to attend so many formalities, orders or whatever a superior mentions.

The tension in the Saiyan team was palpable. While Bardock chose to rest on the ship during the first days on the planet, his companions were divided between obedience to orders and impatience to explore the unknown world. Fork, with his rebellious spirit, questioned the directives, while Naif and Pleit advocated for following the protocol to ensure the success of the mission and their own survival.

There's something Gine didn't take into account, or rather Bardock, who only read the names written by her without caring about everything else on the paper.

And it is...

Saiyans are not trained to follow protocols.

On Planet Vegeta, they are only prepared to fight and not how to face situations.

Something that should have been done a long time ago given that they have worked for decades under the Freeza family.

Kap, Supūn, and Chopsu followed the group in silence.

Although each of them had different opinions on the matter, with silent looks they made it clear that they would observe the group for the time being.

Supūn contemplated the idea of exploring further.

The trackers detected life at a long distance and if they follow their own pace, they can scan the planet in a few hours.

It's not a high-level planet so there shouldn't be accidents.

With his focus on exploration and trusting the tracker's data, Supūn underestimated the potential dangers that could lurk on the planet. As he ventured into unknown territory, the rest of the team soon realized his absence and was forced to go out in search of him.

The lack of preparation to face non-battle situations became evident when they encountered unexpected obstacles in their search for Supūn, putting their ability to adapt and survive in an unfamiliar environment to the test.

And what is one of the biggest problems in survival?

Food and drink, there are many more but Saiyans are usually not affected by hostile environments.

Supūn traveled across this long planet, found ruins and cities but didn't venture into them.

Bardock had located his Ki thanks to the ship, so he's not worried about not being found.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, covered by storm clouds.

They were dispersed with a burst of Ki.

But they formed again.

*Ka Ka Kum* the thunderous sound of thunder rumbled with eagerness.

A thunderbolt hit Supūn but this only damaged the power scanner.

He had no choice but to lower his flight altitude.

The clouds, as if soothed, dissipated.

"What the hell?" Supūn found something interesting.

He went up and down in altitude to see how the clouds formed and dissipated.

"This is new...."

Supūn felt hungry, it's normal. A Saiyan's appetite is recognized in the universe as much as their fighting spirit.

He entered the city to try the delights of this planet.

His arrival alerted the meatnian insectoid humanoid with spikes on their body.

As he descended, Supūn couldn't help but shudder.

They look so much like the Frost demons, they could be relatives.

'Wouldn't it matter if I let off a little steam with them, right? '

His years of servitude under Freeza have left a bad taste in his mouth.

With hunger and frustration accumulated by his past under Freeza's yoke, Supūn felt an impulse to let off steam.

Hungry, Supūn drove to seek food among the inhabitants of the city. However, instead of simply satisfying his appetite, Supūn decided to use his power to sow terror among the Meatnians, unleashing their accumulated fury and resentment.

With bursts of ki and demonstrations of power, Supūn terrorized the defenseless inhabitants of the city, showing his mastery over them and feeding his wounded ego.

His mad laughter resonated in the city as he flew through the houses.

He's the typical Saiyan cruel by nature.

Saiyans evolved from Ozaru to acquire intelligence, but the latent cruel traits within them persisted.

They can be cruel among themselves. How can they not be against other races?

Entering a house through the roof, he noticed the food on a rudimentary table, and a meatnian crouched in a corner.

'Oh... I'm going to enjoy this.' The Saiyan pounced on the food, whether it was smaller insect mushrooms or even the strange-looking bird, they were not spared.

After finishing his snack, he noticed the woman.

He couldn't tell if she was beautiful or not, but he was only interested in seeing her suffer.

Primitive acts were then carried out in the house.

The bustling city ignored the Saiyan's presence as long as they could evacuate.
