Gine said nothing for a few seconds as she tried to digest his words. When she did, her eyes widened in utter astonishment.
"What?!" She nearly screamed, just as Bardock pressed a hand to her mouth to shush her.
"Keep your damn voice down!" He hissed, looking over his shoulder at the door as if worried someone was right outside, listening in. After a few moments he circled back to Gine, uncovering her mouth.
"What do you mean Frieza is going to destroy us all?!" She said more quietly but still in disbelief.
"Do you remember that injury I suffered on Kanassa?" Bardock asked.
Gine was confused by his tangent of a question. She did indeed remember that day, how she worried that he was almost killed by one inhabitant still alive on that planet. He came out unscathed, but since then he was always distracted or complaining of headaches and nightmares. She didn't know what to make of it then.
"Yeah, I remember that." She replied. "But what does that have to do with-"
"Something else happened to me on that day." Bardock cut her off, trying to explain.
"I know you may not believe me, but the last Kanassian that attacked me did something to me. Said it was some sort of curse he wished to inflict on the Saiyans as a whole for killing his people." He spat in disgust at that, then continued. "I'm not entirely sure myself, but I think he gave me some sort of psychic ability to see the future."
"See the... future?" Gine repeated, sounding even more disbelieving.
Bardock nodded. "That's what's been giving me all those headaches and nightmares recently. They're visions I keep seeing of Planet Vegeta getting destroyed. And in those visions, I saw Frieza. He would launch some sort of attack that will make our planet explode. And he was laughing the whole time." Bardock said with anger laced in his voice.
"I don't know if it's real or not, but the visions kept on getting more and more clear, I'd see more details, and the pain of all of us dying felt so real. And finally seeing exactly how Frieza does it. I think... I think it's going to happen soon. As the moment of that event gets closer, I feel more and more like it's becoming true. It would make sense as to why he's recalled all Saiyans back to our planet and ordered no more launches from here. I think he intends to wipe us all out at once. And very soon."
Gine stood there in silence when he was finished, completely at a loss for words until she found her voice again.
"But...but why?" She asked incredulously, feeling hysteria rising within her. "Why would he do such a thing?! We've been his most loyal soldiers!"
Kakarot started crying, sensing the fear and anger radiating from his parents. Gine tried to sooth him by rocking him in her arms, but it did no good, she was too focused on Bardock and her gripping Kakarot too overprotectively tight.
"I don't know." Bardock answered. "I've been asking myself that same question this whole time. But I do know that I have a gut feeling that something terrible is about to happen, and these visions seem to be confirming that."
Gine couldn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn't. This had to be a bad dream. What he said sounded crazy, and by all rights it was. If she heard this revelation from anyone else, she'd thought they were either lying or had lost their minds. But Bardock never lied to her. He was blunt and straightforward with her to a fault. As distant and cold as he could be, she trusted him with her life and the lives of her children.
But it just... it couldn't be true. Could it?
"I know it's hard to believe..." He said, as if he were reading her mind. "But I swear to you it's the truth."
Gine's legs felt weak, like they were about to give out under her.
"C-Can't we do anything about it? Warn others or something?" She tried to think of some solution. Something, anything.
Bardock looked genuinely surprised at her. "You believe me?"
"I do..." She said, sounding as afraid as she looked. "But I don't want to."
There was a flash of appreciation in his eyes before it was replaced with his steely gaze again.
"I tried to tell everyone I could." He said, in answer to her question. "But no one believes me. Not even the king. The king of all people!"
His tone then turned angry and defeated. "And I think it may not even help if anybody does believe me anyway. If Frieza suspects that we know he's going to attack us, and if we try to fight back or flee, he might just kill us all now to prevent that."
Gine was speechless, he was right. None of those ideas would work. Frieza was far too powerful to take on, even if they hurled the might of the entire population of the planet against him. And his forces could shoot down any evacuation they tried.
"So, it's true..." Her voice cracking.
In the span of a few minutes, her entire world came crashing down, knowing that they were all going to die very soon.
