Hello everyone! I am your host Mr. Indigo, welcoming you to a brand new story called Bardock: The Saiyan's Savior! I would like to say that I have recently fallen in love with Dragon Ball Z fanfictions and with Dragon Ball Super being aired, I have found the motivation necessary to write this story! Anywho, not much of an authors note here because I just want to get right on down into it! Enjoy the show!


"Finally you show yourself Frieza; your dirty, no good self-serving traitor! You've lived long enough! To long for my taste!"

A man with a brown tail wrapped tightly around his waist floated in the upper atmosphere of his home planet Vegeta, looking at his foe with contempt and anger. This man was a Saiyan named Bardock, who was standing off against a short man with purple skin and black horns jutting out of his head. This man was known as the Tyrant of the Universe, the Destroyer of Worlds...Frieza.

"Frieza, listen up! We quit! All of us, got it! We don't work for you anymore! You can find someone else to do your dirty work! Oh yeah, there's one last thing!" At saying this Bardock charged up a blue beam in his hand, "This is for all the people that we killed in your name! Wish we were never foolish enough to obey you! Here, have it!" Bardock threw the beam at the tyrannical overlord, who instead of looking at him with fear, merely started laughing a sickening laugh as the orange ball in his hands started expanding, absorbing the beam that Bardock fired.

"What! No way!"

Still laughing, Frieza threw the death ball at Bardock, who knew he couldn't dodge something of that size, however still screamed as he tried to stop it with his remaining energy. It was no use as the death ball consumed the lone warrior and continued its course towards the doomed planet. In his final moments, he saw a vision of his son facing off against Frieza, and he understood. It was his son who would defeat the lizard, not him. He smiled and started to laugh. He yelled one final word as the sphere finally incinerated him. "KAKAROTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"


Bardock awoke not in the afterlife as he suspected he would have, but a world where there was nothing around him except for an infinite expanse of white.

"Where the hell am I!?" He snarled, looking for any trace of well… anything…

It was after these initial moments of anger and fury that he noticed something strange, there was something tightly hugging his body.

"No way!" Bardock exclaimed as he looked down and saw that his armor was miraculously restored, not even a dent on it. But it couldn't have been, his armor was destroyed when he was incinerated in the death ball. "There's no way this is real…"

"Anything can be real if you believe it to be Bardock." A loud and booming voice spoke, the words echoing throughout the whiteness.

"Who is this!? Where the hell am I!?" Bardock screamed at the voice in anger and irritation.

"Who I am is not important, as you wouldn't not believe me. As for where you are… you are in a realm that not many visit, and few know about… not even the Kais know the realm that you currently exist."

"Kais? What the hell are Kais?!" Bardock once again shouted, pointing upward at the white.

"The Kais are my children Bardock, responsible for keeping order over the universes that I have created."

"Well then Mr. father-of-the-year, if you are so high and mighty, why the hell am I here if no one knows about this place!? Not even your so-called children!" Bardock growled, his voice the epitome of fury.

"Because Bardock, I have come to offer you a deal…."

"I don't care what deal you have to offer!" Bardock snapped, interrupting the voice right in the middle of its dialogue, "I won't do it!"

"Not even if it involves you getting revenge on Frieza?"

Bardock's hands clenched into tight fists. Frieza… just the name was enough to drive him into a blind fury. He wanted his revenge on that damn lizard, so much so that he was willing to hear the voice out.

"I'm listening…"

"I know. Your insatiable thirst for revenge has made itself known to me, even through the different dimensions. That is why you are hear, Bardock: To save your race and get your revenge on Frieza."

"Well get on with it then! The quicker I can kill Frieza the better!" Bardock snarled at the voice, feeling that it was stalling for time.

"You're a feisty one, aren't you Bardock?" The voice questioned amusedly. The cold and hateful glare that Bardock sent in the voice's general direction was not seen or if it was, ignored.

"But yes, I want to make you a deal. I will send you back in time two months, to the time that you were given a week off because of your successful purge of the Planet Kolber."

"Awesome! That should give me enough time to get strong enough to save Planet Vegeta from Frieza!" Bardock exclaimed energetically, elated at the fact that he would be able to see his crew and mate again.

"Not so fast Bardock… two months will not be enough time for you to get strong enough to defeat Frieza…" The voice replied, causing Bardock's mood to instantly sour.

"What do you mean I won't be able to get strong enough in a year!? What's the hell is the point in going back if I can't even make a fucking difference!" Bardock snarled, his anger once again propelling his words and actions.

"But you can make a difference, Bardock! You might not be able to save your planet, but you will be able to save your race…. Tell me, Bardock. Do you remember what planet your son Kakarot was being sent to?"

"How the hell should I know! I don't care about the name of the planet my low-level son was being sent to purge!"

"Ah, yes, you Saiyans only really care about fighting, more so than anything else, even familial bonds." The voice took a small pause, "Bardock, your son was sent to the Planet Earth, a planet located about half-a-years travel from Vegeta."

"Why the hell should I care about some weak backwater planet!?" Bardock snapped back, his temperament getting shorter and shorter with each passing minute.

"Because Bardock, that planet will be the new home of the Saiyan race! It is very well suited for Saiyans, and with the many humans there, you should be able to blend in easily." The voice boomed, an amount of finality in it.

"What the hell are you going on about now!?" Bardock growled, confusion and anger filling him.

"Simple Bardock, although two months is not enough time to save Planet Vegeta or the King, it is enough time to transport enough Saiyans to Planet Earth in order to keep the Saiyan race alive, that is your task Bardock…"

"What! No way! There is no way I'm going to willingly abandon Planet Vegeta to its destruction!" Bardock snarled, the mere mention of abandoning his king and country infuriating him.

"You have no choice in the matter Bardock!" The voice yelled with a ferocity that caused even Bardock to shiver in fear, not that he would ever admit it. "There are certain things that must happen in order for the natural order of the universe to continue! Both the planet and kings destruction are some of them!"

"Well that's bullshit!" Bardock roared back, his anger returning in full force, "There has to be something I can do to save Planet Vegeta! I won't abandon them!"

"THEN YOU CAN DIE WITH THEM BARDOCK!" The voice hollered at him, causing Bardock to fall onto his back, "Planet Vegeta's destruction is inevitable, Bardock! The only way to save yourself and your race is to abandon the planet! This is the only way for you to get revenge on Frieza!"

Bardock paused at this, his rationality coming back to the forefront of his mind. This was his only chance to get back at Frieza, and he was going to pass up that chance just because he didn't want his planet destroyed? Well, the destruction of Planet Vegeta and death of the king, according to the voice, was going to happen regardless of his efforts. So the real question was 'is his planet worth more than his people, his family included'? The more he thought about it, the easier the decision became. After all, he held some extreme distaste for the king, so why the hell would he want to live on a planet named after the bastard. Although it would go against his pride and honor, he would live to fight another day. "Fine… I accept the deal then…"

"That's good to hear. Not many people have gotten the chance to change the fate of the universe as you have Bardock."

"Oh really now?" Bardock said, a small smirk crawling onto his face as he raised an eyebrow, "Then why is my case any different?"

"Because Bardock, I cannot witness the destruction of the race I created to be forces of good in the universe, even if you all have fallen so far from grace." There was an tone of sadness in its voice, almost recalling a memory long past.

"Saiyans forces of good? Did you stay in the rejuvenation tank to long?" Bardock mocked, a small smirk on his face.

"No Bardock, I did not. The Saiyan race used to once be the forces of good in the universe, before falling from the light many millennia ago… That is what I'm tasking you with Bardock… make the Saiyans see the light once again…."

"You want me to do what now?!" Bardock shouted, a humored expression on his face as he said it, "Sorry friend, but I don't think that's happening!"

"You don't have a choice in the matter, Bardock! That is my half of the deal! I'm sending you back in time so you can get your revenge on Frieze, however you must save your race and direct them back towards the right path! Your brother Turles will help you with this endeavour."

"Turles!? But I haven't talk to my brother in years! Not since our mother died…" He looked down at the ground, sadness written on his face.

"All relationships can be rekindled, Bardock, no matter how badly damaged they are..." The voice said, being more concentrated than before, like it was right in front of him. Bardock looked up and saw a figure cloaked in a golden light was making it's way towards him with one of his arms outstretched towards him. Bardock took a step back in fear, "What the…"

"Do not be afraid Bardock, I am simply giving you the power in order to change fate. To become the savior that the Saiyans need." The voice said as he placed his hand on Bardock's head.

Suddenly, thousands of images of both the past and future went through his head, he witness the timelines of many different realities surge through him. Alas, it was too much for the Saiyan warrior to handle and he fell unconscious. But before his entire mind went blank, he could have sworn he heard the voice say one final thing to him, "Good luck Bardock, may you use this second chance wisely..."


And that is a wrap for the first chapter of Bardock: The Saiyan's Savior! I hope you enjoyed the chapter! I have a sort of thing with the Saiyan race surviving and not going extinct because, to be perfectly honest, I freaking LOVE the Saiyans! But anywho, I'll try to get a chapter out every week but I can't make any promises. But hey, Bardock is now alive and taken back in the past to a time two months before Planet Vegeta is destroyed in order to change the fate of his race! Will he succeed or will he fail? I don't know, you'll have to tune in next time to find out! Reviews are extremely appreciated!

If you sneezed while reading this,

God Bless You!
