Dragon Ball: Escaping from Planet Vegeta

"If you don't want to follow the prince on his expedition, I can help you apply to conquer a mid-level planet on your own!" Bardock said, observing Talot's reaction. He continued, "With your current power level, you shouldn't have much trouble with a typical mid-level planet."

As he finished speaking, Bardock felt more satisfied with Talot's expression.

This calm and composed demeanor, this humble and unassuming attitude.

If Talot hadn't been so mature from a young age, Bardock couldn't imagine a five-year-old being so composed.

"Take your time to think about it. After you've thought it through, let me know before my next mission."

"I understand, Uncle Bardock. But I don't think I'll be joining the prince's team."

Talot could feel Bardock's concern for him.

Bardock knew him well, so he provided another path for him to gain experience.

"Hmm!" Bardock nodded slightly, having already anticipated this answer.

However, even though Talot had made his choice, he wouldn't rush to finalize it.

There was still time, so as he said, there was no hurry.

Bardock didn't continue this topic and suddenly thought of something else and asked, "By the way, I heard something when I got back. It's said that there were some intruders in the palace yesterday, and many guards were killed. Do you know about this?"

Talot was momentarily stunned by his words.

He shook his head, indicating he didn't know, and asked, "Is that so?"

On the surface, it seemed that way, but in his heart, he had already figured it out.

He was right in both his perception and guess.

It must have been the work of God of Destruction, Beerus.

Talot didn't know that Beerus hadn't killed anyone yesterday, nor had he caused any destruction.

The guards who died were those who might have seen King Vegeta being humiliated.

To preserve the king's dignity, King Vegeta had all the warriors on duty yesterday killed.

Better to kill a thousand wrongly than to let one escape.

"Indeed, not many people know about it. It seems it was forcibly covered up. Among the dead warriors were elites with power levels as high as 5000," Bardock sighed, his expression a bit more serious.

Saiyans' palace was invaded by an unknown enemy who easily killed elite guards with power levels of 5000.

One can imagine how strong the enemy is!

And the most critical part is that it didn't attract much attention, indicating the enemy almost instantly killed all the warriors.

Bardock considered the possibility that Frieza had already started to secretly move against the Saiyans.

This was intel he accidentally obtained during his mission.

It was just a suspicion, not yet verified.

But now, combining the current situation, he could only think this way.

The atmosphere became heavy. Talot, seeing Bardock's troubled expression, asked, "Uncle Bardock, did you think of something?"

"No, it's just strange. I'll visit King Vegeta tomorrow. Maybe I can learn more." Bardock replied.

Then, as if to avoid making Talot overly worried, he smiled and started talking about other things.

Talot couldn't delve deeper into the matter.

Even if he guessed something, he couldn't say it openly.

Taking this opportunity, Talot began asking Bardock about his experiences on this time's mission and if anything interesting happened.

This had always been Talot's habit, so Bardock naturally began recounting the experiences of his mission.

"To be honest, it wasn't supposed to be a difficult mission, but some unexpected events occurred. My strength broke through while I was on Planet Cereal, surpassing 10,000..."

As Bardock spoke, he shared the details of his mission. 

Of course, it was just a rough overview, without unnecessary details.

But even so, Talot got the information he wanted.

Undoubtedly, Bardock's encounter on Planet Cereal shocked Talot.

The storyline from Dragon Ball Minus actually happened!

This was really unexpected, as Talot had already considered this timeline to be the Dragon Ball Z timeline.

The confusing part was that Kakarot should be three years old by now.

But Kakarot was only six months old.

"When are you going on another mission after this one, Uncle Bardock?" Talot asked, trying hard to stabilize his emotions.

It was clear that Bardock was hiding something.

He doesn't want him to know, nor does he want him to get involved.

Bardock is extremely careful and cautious in everything he does. Although he can be somewhat indecisive, he always thoroughly understands the situation before making a decision.

"You little rascal, are you worried you don't have much time left and plotting something?" Bardock laughed.

Hearing this, Talot felt a bit embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "What plotting? I was just asking casually. Besides, if I'm really going to conquer a planet, I'd like to know how much time I have left to prepare."

Bardock nodded and didn't hide the information.

"I can't tell others, but it's fine to tell you. Just don't spread it around.

"This time, I returned quickly because I received a royal order from King Vegeta. The front lines discovered a highly valuable planet, but we lack personnel with high power level, so I need to lead my team to carry out this mission.

"The planet is called Planet Kanassa, and the Kanassans living there possess considerable strength! Otherwise, I would have considered taking you with me on this mission.

"For your safety, it's better for you to go to a mid or low-level planet."

"As for the departure time, I need to see King Vegeta tomorrow to confirm, but it should be within half a month at most."

Bardock explained the situation in detail.

Talot immediately became excited after he heard Bardock will be leaving for Planet Kanassa in half a month.

It turns out that in this real Dragon Ball world he is in, all the storylines from the original work are mixed together.

Recalculating the time, the planet's destruction crisis is roughly two to three months away.

Although the exact distance to Planet Kanassa was uncertain, it shouldn't be far.

Recalling Bardock and his team's experiences in the original work, including the time spent conquering Planet Kanassa...

Talot knew he had to leave before Bardock did.

Moreover, it was likely that Bardock would arrange for Kakarot to go to Earth in the coming days.

[No wonder he talked to me about this mission; it's to keep me away from the upcoming crisis? Bardock must have known that Frieza intended to act against the Saiyans. But he didn't know that Frieza originally only considered it; it was God of Destruction Beerus' order that led to the destruction of Planet Vegeta and the entire Saiyan civilization.] Talot thought to himself.
