[The Truth Behind Planet Vegeta's Destruction?]
On the aerial city of the Planet Ling Cage, the entire Hunter Squad, preparing to depart, was drawn to the title of the newly uploaded group video.
"What's going on?"
Erika, the youngest Hunter who looked like a loli but had a bust size surpassing most adult women, asked in confusion:
"Wasn't Planet Vegeta destroyed by a giant meteor impact? Why is there suddenly talk of some 'truth'?"
"Let's not watch now, let's descend the tower first. We need to search for supplies again."
Donnie said seriously.
"Donnie is such a killjoy as always. This is no small matter. If I could learn even a move or two from Lott or Son Goku, I could take down those Magire easily, swish swish swish!"
Erika waved her small fist and shouted.
…
Planet Amanto.
"In any case, the overlord of the Eastern Galaxy, Boros, is no more. We can go back to muddling along and waiting to die~"
Gintoki lay lazily on his sofa in his Yorozuya Shop as usual.
"You stupid bastard! Pay your rent already!"
Otose's angry shout came from downstairs.
"Gin-san, there's a new group video."
Shinpachi whispered fearfully to Gintoki.
"Oh ho, more excitement to watch?"
Gintoki immediately perked up.
…
A planet under Frieza's rule in the Western Galaxy.
"I always said Planet Vegeta's destruction wasn't that simple!"
Seeing the title, Nappa couldn't help but curse.
Among the trio, both Vegeta and Nappa had long suspected that Frieza was behind Planet Vegeta's demise.
Only Raditz, the weakling with a simple mind, truly believed it was just an accident.
"What do we do now, Vegeta!"
Nappa shouted at Vegeta:
"Frieza went to Earth, Cooler went to Planet Terra! If those two get eternal life, we'll be under their thumbs forever!"
"B-But... there's nothing we can do..."
Raditz said with a bitter face.
Nappa felt like slapping this idiot.
If it weren't for the slight camaraderie among their race, he would have killed this fool long ago!
But this time, Nappa had to admit, there really was nothing they could do.
Vegeta, the leader of the trio, also gritted his teeth, constantly thinking of countermeasures.
'What to do, what to do, what to do... At the very least, we needed a plan to prevent the worst-case scenario of Cooler and Frieza obtaining eternal life.'
…
Meanwhile, the group video gradually cleared.
Subtitles appeared at the bottom with narration-
[Approximately 20 years ago, Old Namek]
Seeing this note, the Z Fighters on Earth, who were heading towards Frieza's spaceship landing site, were all stunned.
Especially Piccolo, flying on the far right, who took several seconds to process it.
And at the Hero Association on Planet Terra.
Prime Minister Fujiwara, Senzaemon, and others turned to look at the Grand Elder.
"Grand Elder, Old Namek is..."
Kashiwazaki Tenma inquired.
"Probably... about twenty years ago, our clan lived on Old Namek. It was the original Namek."
The Grand Elder tried hard to recall, speaking slowly:
"At that time... a great disaster occurred, and we all moved to New Namek, the planet we lived on before coming to Planet Terra."
The scene gradually focused on the surface of Old Namek.
A group of Namekians, resembling Piccolo with antennae on their heads and green skin, were farming with smiles.
Everything seemed peaceful and beautiful.
But then, the scene shifted towards the full moon above Old Namek.
The moment they saw the full moon, everyone in the group felt a sense of foreboding.
Especially Tatsumaki, Child Emperor, and others who had witnessed Lott's transformation into a giant ape firsthand.
Sure enough, the next second, several spherical spaceships descended like meteors, shattering the Namekians' farmland to pieces!
"The same kind of spaceship as Lott's!"
Alice exclaimed at the Totsuki Culinary Academy.
"To be precise, it's the Saiyans' spaceship."
Sitting next to Alice, a woman with 80% similar features, also with silver hair but a more mature demeanor, interjected.
She was Alice's mother, Nakiri Leonora.
She had rarely returned from Northern Europe to see her daughter.
She never expected to coincidentally encounter such big news.
Indeed, as Leonora guessed…
The spherical spaceships opened.
The multiple Saiyans who emerged, upon seeing the full moon, instantly transformed into giant apes, wildly destroying everything on Old Namek.
"This is... the daily work of the Saiyans."
In the meeting room of the Totsuki's Elite Ten.
The 7th Seat, Isshiki Satoshi, also couldn't maintain his usual nice-guy smile, his face full of fear.
They remembered now, what was revealed when the Saiyans' identities were first exposed in the group video-
Exterminate all life on a planet, then sell it at a high price to aliens looking for a place to live.
That was their job!
Erina was also pale with fear.
'In comparison, Lott seemed quite gentle.'
…
In the video.
The Namekians, who also possessed considerable combat ability, fought back.
But against multiple Saiyans transformed into giant apes, they were utterly helpless.
At the critical moment, some Namekians finally discovered the Saiyans' transformation key was the full moon.
Multiple Namekians used their full power to fire energy waves.
They finally managed to shift the moon out of the Saiyans' line of sight.
But even after reverting from giant apes to human form-
This Saiyan squad still had more than enough strength to eliminate the already exhausted Old Namekians.
"Th-The ones who destroyed Old Namek back then... w-were the Saiyans!?"
Nail, now one of the S-Class Heroes and the Grand Elder's strongest son, looked at the Grand Elder in disbelief.
"Grand Elder, didn't you say it was a natural disaster!?"
The Grand Elder let out a light sigh, "I was afraid you would seek revenge."
Nail was momentarily speechless.
Then, the video focused on a Saiyan who had also reverted from a giant ape to human form.
When they saw his face, the Z Fighters on Earth nearly lost their Flight Technique and fell.
"G-Goku!?"
Krillin looked at Goku beside him, then back at the Saiyan in the video.
Exactly the same, truly exactly the same!
The only difference was probably the cross-shaped scar on his left cheek and his more arrogant, wild demeanor compared to Goku.
Goku himself was stunned.
In the scene, this Saiyan who looked exactly like him showed a complex expression.
He was looking at a middle-aged Namekian holding a baby Namekian.
"Is that the Grand Elder?"
The nearly a hundred Namekians who had relocated to Planet Terra recognized him immediately.
This middle-aged Namekian was the Grand Elder, and the baby Namekian in his arms...
Nail said in surprise, "Th-That's me?"
The Saiyan who looked exactly like Son Goku gritted his teeth and let out a 'Tch', but still didn't strike.
"Bardock."
Just then, another Saiyan approached from behind.
The man called 'Bardock' turned around, blocking the view so the other couldn't see the two behind him.
"The mission is complete. Now we just need to wait for Frieza-sama's troops to take over this planet. Let's return to Planet Vegeta."
The Saiyan said.
"I know. You go back first. I'll look for any survivors. If we don't clean up thoroughly and Frieza-sama holds us accountable, it'll be trouble."
Bardock replied.
The other thought it made sense and told Bardock not to take too long before returning as well.
After his colleague left, Bardock turned back to the middle-aged Grand Elder:
"Hurry and leave. Frieza is coming. Survive as best you can."
The Grand Elder was shocked. It wasn't until Bardock had flown far away that he came to his senses and asked:
"You are... a Saiyan, right? Wh-Why..."
Bardock was silent for a moment, then said as he flew away using Flight Technique:
"No particular reason. Just a whim."
After watching this segment.
Yamcha and the others also guessed the identity of this man named 'Bardock'.
[Tien: Goku, this is your father, right?]
[Krillin: It's hereditary! Your dad is as kind as you!]
Goku scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, "Is that so? Haha, I was raised by Grandpa Gohan since I was little. I don't really have any memories of my parents..."
Meanwhile, Frieza in his spaceship scowled, "There are actually so many foolish, merciful Saiyans? Damn it, I must kill them all!"
