Travelling To The Past

"Cough." Kalan coughed up blood. The magma ball Frieza had fired was way stronger than the one in the past fired by Frieza in his 1st form. Kalan was in bad shape already, the magma ball burned his old wounds hard and they opened up again. Lots of blood flew out as Kalan and Bardock were pushed forward in a dark swirling tunnel. Bardock had fainted for the magma ball.

After what felt like an eternity for Kalan, they tunnel they were travelling through, suddenly brightened. So bright Kalan had to close his eyes.

Once the light disappeared Kalan opened his eyes again. He noticed he was lying on a bed. Turning his head to scan the surroundings, Kalan saw Bardock lying on a bed near him, tho thoroughly wrapped in bandages as his skin had showed signs of melting.

"Ah? I also fainted?" Kalan thought as he noticed his upper body wrapped in bandages as well, he noticed his left side still missing.

"Luckily I absorbed Namekian's bloodline. Otherwise I'd be screwed." Kalan thought as he praised the system.

"Ugh..." Bardock grunted as he woke up.

"Bardock!" Kalan hurriedly shouted in delight.

"Kalan! We're still alive?" Bardock asked in shock.

He suddenly turned around to check his surroundings. He looked out of the open air window.

"The sky is the same as Planet Vegeta... Where is this?" Bardock mumbled as he took in the new environment.

*Tok Tok* Several footsteps could be heard approaching.

Two Plant aliens could be seen closing in, one adult and one kid. The Plants are humanoids, purple skinned, rather short, and ovular-headed.

Bardock hurriedly put up his guards as he looke warily at the newcomers.

"Bardock, relax. They're harmless." Kalan assured Bardock as he knew they had gone back to the past like the Bardock from the story. He had immediately recognized the Plants due to their distinctive appearance.

"I'm Ipana, the doctor of this village." Ipana introduced himself.

"And this is my son, Berry." Ipana introduced his son.

"He was the one who found you two unconscious at the edge of the woods." Ipana said and exclaimed as he turned his head to Kalan "It's amazing that you even survived with those wounds."

"I'm fine, I won't die from this..." Kalan explained but suddenly thought of something.

"I remember that Bardock will turn into a Super Saiyan! Although the story changed a bit and Bardock's teammates did not die on Planet Meat... But Bardock shouldn't know that I teleported away many of the Saiyans. Maybe Bardock will still be able to turn into a Super Saiyan! Then the system can record his body activities! Maybe I'll be able to turn into a Super Saiyan soon as well!" Kalan thought excitedly.

"I'll let myself seem incapacitated, thus Bardock will have no choice but face Chilled alone just like in the story. Otherwise with Chilled's low battle power, I'll be able to crush him even without Kaioken..." Kalan thought and decided not to regenerate his left side yet.

"This is a secret ointment we use on Planet Plant. With this your wounds will heal faster. Unfortunately we won't be able to regenerate your lost body parts... But this will help close your wounds." Ipana said as he first looked at Bardock and then at Kalan.

Bardock face changed then he suddenly turned his head to look at Kalan. It seems he has realized that Planet Plant was the previous name of Planet Vegeta. But the fact that Kalan suffered grievous wounds seemed to be more shocking.

"Your body..." Bardock said in a sad voice. He believed Kalan's warrior career was over.

"It's alright. Thank you for saving us." Kalan said and thanked Ipana and Berry politely.

Ipana smeared the ointment on Bardocks body and Kalan's left side. The ointment was identitcal to the liquid from the healing machine.

"What's your name?" Berry climbed onto Kalan's bed and tugged the bed sheet and asked.

"I'm Kalan." Kalan smiled.

"What about you mister?" Berry happily asked.

"I don't like childish brats." Bardock said sternly.

*Fwoosh* Suddenly a loud noice of a flying object was heard.

Bardock and Kalan turned their heads and stared out the window. In the sky, a spaceship looking like Frieza's was flying and landed in the distance.

*Boom* The ship landed and a large dust cloud was blown up.

"Don't tell me..! That's Frieza!" Bardock shouted angrily.

"That's where the village is!" Ipana said worriedly.

*Bom Bom Bom* *Fyu Fyu* *Boom* Suddenly many explosions and blasts was heard from the village's direction.

Bardock angrily flew to the village. He saw several aliens equipped with energy guns shooting and destroying buildings.

"Frieza's trash! Die!" Bardock shouted and flashed forward. He punched a hole in one alien and blasted another alien to dust.

*Burr* *Fyuu*

After Bardock killed the aliens. The Plants ran forward and surrounded Bardock.

"Thank you! You're our village's saviour!" They shouted happily an smiled.

"Don't get me wrong. I don't care whether you people live or die." Bardock said and flew back to Kalan.

"Although Bardock is one of the kinder Saiyans he isn't really kind to strangers..." Kalan who watched the scene from afar shook his head. The only ones Bardock had ever cared were his friends and family.

"Kalan I think we have traveled to the past." Bardock said.

"That it likely as Planet Vegeta was destroyed." Kalan nodded.

"What should we do next? We're the only Saiyans in this world." Bardock said.

"I think I have an idea to return to back to the future... But I'm not sure if it will work. But wait till my wounds recover first." Kalan said as he thought "I should look for King Kai and ask for his opinion... Also I can get him to help me find the old Planet Namek and see if I can ask the dragon to find a way for us to return... But first I'll pretend to be recovering so Bardock can fight Chilled."

"Alright you go rest I'll take care of any of Frieza's henchmen." Bardock said. His wounds started closing after using Plants' healing liquid. Unlike in the original story where Bardock chose to live in a cave alone. He stayed with Kalan to make sure he wouldn't get harmed.

*Tok Tok* Berry came carrying a big basket.

"I bought you some food and medicine!" Berry said cheerfully as he still seemed to think of Bardock's actions of saving them

"T- Thanks." Bardock stuttered a bit and shyly took the basket. His pride would normally not allow him to accept their help. But seeing Kalan's state he reluctantly accepted their help.

Bardock shared the food with Kalan and applied some medicinal liquid on his body before passing the rest to Kalan.

"Hehe!" Berry happily left.
