42 Departure Of Goku! (1/2)
Later that night Bardock and Gine quietly jumped thru the night sky, leaping only a few dozen feet into the air, traveling effortlessly across the rugged terrain of Planet Vegeta as they made their way to the far side of the planet.
Breathing heavily, Bardock carried a white space pod which he had stolen from the city's port with his infant son Goku inside on his right shoulder. Despite being a older model it was reliable and would serve his purpose of carrying his youngest son Goku to safety. Still the stifling feeling of impending doom was growing stronger causing him to grow increasingly impatient as he began to speed up before landing.
Noticing the look of worry on his face affecting her son Goku inside the attack pod thru the porthole as they landed Gine calmingly said to him ”Calm down Kakarrot.” Then turned and asked Bardock ”Hey, why can't we all escape somewhere together?”
”We can't Gine. They'll find us easily with their scouters.” replied Bardock grimly as he continued to leap forward.
Finally they reached a suitable clearing to launched the attack pod safely. With a light ”thump” Bardock set the attack pod on the ground gently then pressed a button on the exterior as he entered a series of coordinates into the pods navigation system.
”I've programmed the pod to head for a distant planet called Earth. The planet has plenty of food, but the race there has a low technological and combat level so he should be able to survive there. Also the resources their aren't worth much, so the Frieza Force probably won't attack it. It'll be the perfect place for him.”
Staring into the attack pod thru the porthole with tearful eyes, Gine stifled the urge to cry as she looked at her young son Kakarrot warmly, her hands on the porthole directly atop Kakarrot's tiny hands inside the attack pod only separated by a few inches of see-thru material as she said reassuringly, ”If Bardocks wrong we'll come get you as soon as we can!”
”Never forget, you mustn't look up at the moon for too long.” reminded Bardock solemnly to his infant son.
”I'll tell Raditz of this too.” followed Gine.
”Remember, you have to stay alive no matter what! And watch out for the Galactic Patrol!” Bardock repeated.
”See you later!” said sorrowfully Gine.
”Later...” solemnly said Bardock as he placed his hand atop his young infant sons.
Then with a low whirl the attack pod slowly lifted into the air, slowly rising several dozen feet before pausing briefly as it blazed with white light before blasting into space leaving a faint trail of sparkling white light in its wake.
