In the vast multiverse and unlimited timelines of the DragonBall series we move our focus on a tall warrior in standard Frieza Force battle armor walking to his home with news that will change everything. Bardock, the low-class turned Elite, Saiyan warrior, leader of Destroyer Squadron six, and currently Supreme General of The Saiyan Rebellion. "Gine, I'm back!" Bardock calls out to his mate. "I'm with Kakarot! Hurry! If you don't you'll miss Kakarot's first spoken words!" Gine, known as the weakest Saiyan woman to ever live, is the mother of who we know as Goku.
"Gine, I'll never understand why you care so much about our sons first words." Bardock shook his head at his mates antics. "Well you don't have to! But as a father you should feel something for when your children take the first step to live independently!" Gine exclaimed when Bardock walked into the incubation room. "You're going to be the death of me woman. If Frieza didn't didn't already plan on killing us all." Bardock thought.
"Ma...Ma...Pa...Pa!" Kakarot trying the easiest words he could say in the Saiyan native language. "Hi Kakarot! I'm your mother, say it with me. Mama." Gine said to her three year old, doing her best to teach a rowdy Saiyan child. "Mama!" Kakarot exclaimed and jumped into Gine's arms in a hug. "Join in Bardock!" Gine says pulling Bardock into the hug. "I wish this could last." Bardock mentally sighed at the fact that his family would not be whole after what he says next.
"Gine, were going to send Kakarot away. Frieza has called all Saiyans back to Planet Vegeta. The King fears this is his last chance to rebel before Frieza kills us. We will be sending him in a modified space spod that has coordinates set the Planet J-24571, Known also by its natives name Earth. There he can live a normal life." Bardock tells his plan to his horrified mate.
"You can't be serious about that, right?! You want to send our second born to the center of the cosmos to save him! What about the conditioning program in the attack pod! That would doom that planet!" Gine says in a sharp tone. "I already have that covered. We will meet Beeslo at the far end of the planet there he is going to program a message form each of us into the pod. I also had him make the conditioning program teach him the Saiyan and Universal languages, also the Ozaru training method that Elites use." Bardock explains to Gine. "But why!? Why save our son and not yourself!" Gine yelled at him. "I'm doing this for Kakarot's sake. He, Raditz, and Prince Vegeta will be the future of the Saiyan race! I will not let Frieza have his way!"
"Gine, I know this is hard for you, I'll tell you something that will reassure you of my plan. A few years back you remember when I said that I wasn't in the right mindset and changed how I acted towards you?" Bardock asked. Seeing her nod her head in confirmation he continues to explain himself. "During a solo mission I fought a race with clairvoyance, and when I went to kill the leader he used his ability to get behind me and transfered his strong future vision to me. It evolved when it fully merged with me. I don't just have future sight, I possess the ability to relive history." Bardock explained that when the alien gave him this power he wanted for Bardock to see that on his current path he would die a meaningless death. But what the leader didn't realize was the Saiyan's are very adaptable when the need arises.
"I saw all of Saiyan history in a few seconds. From begining to end, and only one outcome the Saiyan race lives on." Bardock says to Gine While flying to the rendezvous point. "Bardock... That's very hard for me to believe. That this one action will save our race, not only that but make it thrive in the universe again." Gine still holding a sleeping Kakarot, shakes her head. "That's fine, all I want is for you to trust your mate." Bardock replied.
"Ah! You're here early. Did something move the schedule up?" Beeslo asked when he saw the small family. "No, Gine just wanted to get this over with before she changes her mind." Bardock told the Saiyan Scientist. "Ah of course! If you don't mind Gine, please put young Kakarot in the pod. Then we can start the recording you want to tell him for when he arrives on Earth." Beeslo said and before he could carry on Bardock told him to wait. "Beeslo I want to have the pod teach him a few of mine and the False Moon technique." Beeslo responds "That is a wonderful idea! I was planning on also teaching him math and science with this also! Yes we can do that. Now here is were you explain the technique. Be sure to put as much detail into it as possible, the more the better!" Beeslo said handing Bardock a tablet to write down the techniques.
"All right! We are set to go! I set the lunch to be in ten minutes. With the cloaking mechanism added to the pod he will definitely be safe from any of Frieza's men." Beeslo tells the other Saiyans there. "Did you put in what I asked?" Gine asked the smarter Saiyan. "Yes Ma'am. He will know all about the Frostians after he lands." Beeslo reassured the Saiyan mother. "Good luck Kakarot, my you live life to the fullest!" Beeslo thought to himself.....
Kakarot deep in cryosleep suddenly awakens. "Where am I? I don't know." Kakarot thinks looking out the tinted window of the attack pod. As suddenly as he awoke he was hit with his memories of when he was in the incubation tank. "So, I was reincarnated as Son Goku, or should I call my self Kakarot?" The young Saiyan child thinks to himself while the attack pod reinitiates cryosleep.
As a Saiyan attack pod enters a planets atmosphere it begins the awakening posses for a young Saiyan named Kakarot. With a almighty Kaboom, the pod lands in the mountains. The pod slowly opens after a few minutes later and a child no older than four steps out in full battle armor and a debugged scouter. "So this is the Earth of DragonBall. Cool! Can't wait to go on the quest to hunt to dragonballs!" Kakarot Looking excited about that thought , hears his father's voice coming from the pod. "Kakarot I'm your father, Bardock. I have sent you here to the is planet to get away from the machinations of a tyrannical space lizard named Frieza. He, as of you hearing this message, has no doubt blown up planet Vegeta. I and your reluctant mother, Gine, With the help of a genius Saiyan Scientist called Beeslo, upgraded and reprogrammed the attack pod you were in to give you the best chances of survival as well a way for you to travel the galaxy when you feel ready. The way the conditional reprogram works was you were supposed to be brainwashed into conquering Earth for Frieza to add to his growing empire, but the way it was changed made it upload what knowledge we wanted you to have. There's to much for your young mind to be able to comprehend all of it, so Beeslo made it for you to slowly get the information when you sleep. the only thing we let you know how to do at the start was the Universal and Saiyan languages. The first thing you will learn will be the Ozaru taming technique, along with the history of the Saiyan race scaned directly from my mind. I would like to say one more thing before your mother kills me for taking so long hehe."
"Kakarot I'm proud of what you will become! I have left you with the curse turned gift, of clairvoyance. Though you will have to train it harder than I had to I believe it will do you well!" Just as soon as the holographic message started it ended. "Father!!!" Kakarot started bawling his eyes out while thinking that he will never be raised by the battle hardened warrior turned loving husband and father. After Kakarot regained his composure and digested what his father just told him. "This is a different timeline different from cannon. Father didn't do all this in the cannon DragonBall, thought he does look like a mix of Minus and The Father of Goku movie." Kakarot muses to himself after comprehending his father's words.
He is snapped out of his thoughts when he hears the teary voice of Gine. "Kakarot my baby, I'm your mother, Gine! I had Beeslo impart my meditation technique so you don't lose control of yourself when mating season comes around for you." Kakarot blushes at that. "All I want to say baby, I love you and I don't want you to die with us. Just all I ask is find a good girl you can love and protect from this evil universe." Gine starts to cry more and more while smiling sadly at having to give up raising her baby. Kakarot was bawling like a baby at the message his mom left him.
A few minutes later Kakarot has compose himself and looks into the pod to find a few things their. A adult battle armor in the style of the father of Goku movie, in the colors of minus, along with a crimson read headband and a note in the Saiyan language. The note reads "Kakarot this was my old armor and headband when I was a mid-class warrior. I want you to be a proud warrior and gentle protector. Do your parents proud! Love, Gine and Bardock".
A few hours passed since Kakarot arrived on Earth, after grabbing his headband he ties it around his forehead. Looking himself in the reflection of the pods window he smiled. "Looking good Kakarot! Soon you'll be a lady killer, Hahahah!" Kakarot thought to himself, untill he heard some rustling from left. Quickly getting in a defensive stance he steadies his mind on defending himself form whatever it was. Then out from the bushes a old man in old Chinese styled martial arts gi. "Hello young one. Are you also here to check out the cause of that trimmer?" The old man asked Kakarot. "I'll just tell him the truth, it'll be easier that way." Kakarot reasoned. "I am Kakarot, of a near extincted race, my parents have sent me to this planet in hope of me surviving from an extinction event. My humblest apologies for causing you to worry form my rather rough entrance." Kakarot told the old martial arts master while bowing to him. "My name is Son Gohan, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Earth. Would you like to come have lunch with me?" The now named Gohan asked the young Saiyan. "I would love to! But I must warn you my race have a egregiously high metabolism, so I hope you have enough to feed a army. Haha!" Kakarot replied. Gohan nodded his head and motioned for Kakarot to follow him to his house. The lunch was a large quantity of rice with teriyaki BBQ T-Rex meat, with a side of 50 jumbo chicken dumplings. After the meal Kakarot and Gohan conversed about thing going on. Kakarot gave a full explanation of what he was and that he wanted to get stronger for his future self to be able to not only raise his children but protect them and teach them the new Saiyan way. Gohan told stories of him and his martial brother, Ox King, and his master the Turtle hermit Roshi. "Then she slap Roshi out the bar and into a male strip club Hahaha! You could see his nose bleed recede back into his head!" Gohan laughed jolly. Kakarot could say he was enjoying his time with Gohan "To bad he only has ten years left to live." Kakarot thought sadly. "Gohan I would like to request you train me in martial arts." Kakarot proclaimed with a bow to his senior. "Kakarot I would love to train you. With what you told me about Saiyans you won't be at risk of damaging your growth trading this young. I accept you as my disciple, starting tomorrow we will begin your martial arts training and conditioning." Gohan tells Kakarot, who is smiling like the cat that caught the Canary.
During those ten years Kakarot started calling Gohan Grampa, and Gohan didn't mind at all. It wasn't shown how much of a slave driver Gohan was with his training. Only good thing was he did it with Kakarot so he could instantly correct his mistakes he made. Kakarot learn a lot about Ki and that it was a part of a bigger energy called Qi. Qi is the mixture of Ki and spiritual energy, manna or magic as some have called it. Ki is the raw physical power of someone, turned into energy my the body. Everyone has Ki, as without it you wouldn't be able to move. Manna is different as only certain individuals have enough to actually learn to use it. There are technique to largen your already existing Manna, but the payoff is has miniscule returns. Gohan had just enough Manna for a Mage to sense him, and teach him a spell to use.
"Kakarot I will demonstrate the only spell that I know." Gohan proceeded to activate his spell, though you couldn't tell right off the bat. "Kakarot I taught you how to sense Ki. Try now to sense mine." Gohan says with a calm smile on his face. Kakarot understanding now what that spell did now, he looks excited to see if he can learn how to use Manna. "Cool!! You completely blended your Ki in with the ambient Ki around you with that spell!" Kakarot perfectly gets how the spell works based on his senses and Gohan's explanation.
"Very good Kakarot you caught on quick. Yes this spell is called "Ambients" making your Ki signature blend with your surrounding. Combine this with a Ki shape shifting technique and you will be hiding in plain sight!" Gohan explained amused at the eager look on his adopted grandsons face.
Those ten years passed like that, in a blink of an eye Son Kakarot was 14 and beside his adopted grandpa, seeing him off to otherworld. "I'll miss you Grampa, and I promise I'll make you proud!" Kakarot said to Gohan with tears threatening to fall. "Kakarot you already have." Gohan tells his grandson and dies with a smile on his face. Kakarot prays for his grandpa a safe passage into otherworld.
After Kakarot buried Gohan he starts to channel his Ki in a way so that he can make a false moon. Once the orb is in the atmosphere Kakarot yells "BURST OPEN AND MIX!" and transforms into his Ozaru. While Ozaru Kakarot starts meditation and uses the Mind Taming method his father left him. Kakarot also created a perpendicular thought spell with the little Manna he has. It allows him to use two techniques that are similar to one another. With it he's using the Mating Suppression technique, witch actually increase his Manna when he uses it, that his mom gave him. "A little longer and I will have full mastery over my Ozaru! Then I can see if there is a way to control Ozaru without a moon or moon technique." Kakarot thought after the False Moon lost it's energy and he reverted to his base form.
He's broken from his musing when he hears a car horn. "BEEP! BEEP! Hey do you live around here?" A beautiful blue haired young woman asked Kakarot. "I do. Don't get many people coming this way, what brings a city girl like you out in the middle of bum-fuck-nowhere?" He asked Bulma, who blushes from his language. "I'm here on vacation... and was wondering if there is a clearing nearby?" She asked trying to discreetly look toward her watch. Kakarot seeing it knew exactly what it was. "Sure, there's a big clearing next to my home. Should be big enough for a capsule home." Kakarot tells her. "Oh right I never introduced myself, my name is Kakarot. Nice the meat you!" Kakarot did a mock bow for emphasis. "I'm Bulma, likewise." She introduced herself.
"You're welcome to come over and eat with me if you choose. I am a good cook." Kakarot throws the bait. "I would love to!" Bulma was caught hook line and sinker and she didn't know it yet. "Gosh, I come all the out here for a dragonball and I find this hunk. Tall, tan, muscular but not bulky, he is even walking around shirtless for crying out loud! Not that I mind the eye candy, I just feel like I've been had." Bulma though blushing. As they arrived at Kakarot's home she saw a huge fire pit for cooking in mass. In the fire pit was lots of meat and fruit smoking and marinating in the others juices.
"Would you like some tea? It will be a few minutes till the meal is read." He ask her, which she nodded while looking for her prize. "Yeah sounds nice, and the food smells so good!" she said licking her lips in hungry anticipation. "Thank you my Grandpa taught me how to cook. He always said that the best way to have some one favor you is through a excellent meal!" Kakarot say happy to be talking to someone again. After their fill of food she asks Kakarot if he has heard of the dragonballs.
"Yeah, I actually got the fourth star ball now that you mentioned what they look like. So, if you do collect all seven, what will you wish for." Kakarot says with all seriousness making him resemble his father even more. "I don't really know. I thought about wishing for the perfect boyfriend untill I thought about the implications of that wish. One, he wouldn't be obligated to fall for me like that." Bulma punctuates her statement with a snap of her fingers. "If anything I'll have to ask for some sort of alien tech to further Capsule Corp. and be the CEO it needs." Bulma said more subdued than what Kakarot has seen so far. Kakarot desides to speak up at this moment. "You do realize that you have an entire journey to think what would be best." Kakarot continues with a shrug "Not like you'll be alone since I'm joining you.".
"What? Did he say what you think he said?! Back track Bulma, first he said I had the journey to think of what to wish for, right after he told me he was joining! So I wasn't daydreaming, that's good." Bulma's thoughts raced around in her head blushing like crazy. Kakarot mind you was calmly watching Bulma's face slowly turn tomato red from he imagination running wild. "Hehe, this Bulma is cuter than what I remember from cannon. Well whatever not like it's going to change my goal." Kakarot chuckled. "Well if we're going on this journey together that why not reintroduce ourselves? I'll go first." Kakarot then clears his throat and continues. "My name is Son Kakarot, I'm proficient in martial arts and was trained by my Grandpa, who was a master of martial arts, I like good food, training, and practicing my Families techniques. Oh I'm also 14 going on 15!" Kakarot smiles brightly. Staring intently at him Bulma's eye almost pooped out of their sockets when he said his age. "His younger than me!!! How is he so damn tall??? He looks like he's 20 for Kami's sake!" Bulma facefallted when she heard Kakarot burst out laughing at the face she was making. After everything calmed down Bulma began her reintroduction. "My name is Bulma and I'm a technological wiz, I'm a good shot with a gun, I like tech, re-engineering technology, coming up with new technology, and I'm 16 years old." Bulma finished her statement by puffing out her prideful twin peaks.
"Nice! So want to stay the night, it's getting late out?" Kakarot helpfully pointed out. "Sure, no harm in getting up a moving early in the morning." Bulma agreed and the hit the hay for the night. "It's going to be a long journey together." Kakarot thinks before falling asleep.
End of Prologue.
