Hello all my loyal readers, and people who haven't read my other stuff but are reading this! This is the first story I've written from Bardock's point of view, so I hope that's okay with you guys. I don't own DBZ, and there are a few things you need to know, okay?

-This is set directly after the Buu Saga, before Gohan and Videl get hitched, and Pan or Bulla are born

-Gohan in this looks and acts like Future Gohan from the Trunks Special, but has no scar and has both arms

-Goten has the same haircut as he did as a young boy and isn't girl crazy like GT Goten

I had battled my way through the masses of soldiers to get here. To face Frieza. The coward had finally summed up the guts to come out and face me.

"Long live Lord Frieza!" the soldiers cried out.

"No way Frieza. You've lived long enough! Actually, it's been too long for my taste!" I chuckled.

I was feeling a mix of hatred and fear.

"We don't work for you anymore! We're free! You can find someone else to do your dirty work!" I yelled. "Oh yeah, there's one last thing." I smirked and charged up the last of my energy into one final blast. "This is for all of the people we killed in your name." I threw the attack, my final resistance, at him and shouted, "HERE! HAVE IT!!"

I wasn't very close to the ship, so I just floated there, watching my attack fly towards the evil tyrant. When my attack was about 10 feet away from him, an attack began to charge up. I recognized it. It was the attack he used to destroy entire planets. And it was heading right for us!

"Don't do this to us, Lord Frieza!" I heard a voice beg. It was too late. This was it. The end.

I was engulfed by the yellow-orange light. It burned worse than any fire I had ever felt. As I fell back, I saw a vision. It was my son, Kakarot. He was a man, and he was prepared to fight Frieza.

"I...see...now..." I said with what was left of my breath, "You will be the one...to defeat...Frieza..." As I realized this, a large smirk came across my face, "KAKAROOOOOOOOT!"

I drifted back into darkness.

"Bardock..." the familiar Kanassan voice hissed.

"Can't you leave me alone as I die?" I asked wearily.

"You are not dieing." he hissed again.

"W-what? What are you talking about?" I was shocked.

"By some miracle, you have survived. You have been given a second chance at life." he explained.

"A...miracle?"

"Yes. And to make my luck worse, my curse will wear off in a few hours. You truly are one lucky fool, Bardock the Saiyan." he said, and his voice faded away.

I felt different. It felt like there were things stick in my arms, and I heard voices. I was so weak that I couldn't even open my eyes. I heard one person leave wherever I was. I finally managed to open one eye, but I was in extreme pain. I haven't been this banged up since...well...ever. I saw a teenage boy sitting next to a window. The boy looked almost exactly like me. I knew that I wasn't on Planet Vegeta, it was gone. So where was I? And was this boy a Saiyan, too? He probably heard me, because he looked over at me.

"Oh, so you're awake! I'll be right back, don't move." he said and ran out of the room.

Ha ha...very funny! I thought sarcastically. I couldn't move at all! Couldn't he see that? All I could see was the door right in front of me and the window to the right of that.

A few minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching. I thought it would be that kid again, but I was wrong. In the doorway was a person who looked exactly like me, minus the scar and his facial expression was a little bit happier. Kakarot. There was no mistaking it. He looked exactly as he did in the vision, except his clothes didn't have a symbol on the back.

"So you really ARE up." he smiled. How was this possible? Kakarot was only a few days old! Not a fully grown man! I wanted to speak to him so badly, but I couldn't. I was in too much pain, and I couldn't find the words. I just looked at him. He stood around for a minute, then turned to walk off.

"I guess you need your rest, whoever you are. I'll come back later."

"Wait...Kakarot..." I managed to spit out.

"So you know me. How do you know me though?" he asked.

"I'm..." but before I could say anything, I passed out.
