Story Of Goku
Last Spark Of Hope - Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterOn the opposite side of the same galaxy as Equestria. There was a planet named Vegeta, the home of the war-hungry saiyans. Most of them were under the universally feared Frieza's rule and they were very efficient at their work. Saiyans were a race similiar looking to humans, but what distinguished them was the tail of a monkey, the incredible potential for combat and their slow aging. Everytime they got hurt in combat and healed afterwards they became stronger.
They completed every hard task Frieza threw at them and did most of the dirty work... but one day Frieza got to hear an old legend that told that of the 'Super Saiyan', a warrior so powerful it could defeat even him.
This led to him slowly betraying the saiyans, who were very loyal to Frieza. One group of saiyan mercenaries led by a saiyan man named Bardock went on a mission, but as Bardock got hurt they continued on without their leader. Receiving orders from Frieza they went to a planet by themselves but as they got there they got ambushed by Frieza's other henchmen while Bardock was being healed in a healing tank.
Bardock found out about that his group was out on a mission and went to that planet as well, only to find the corpses of his friends, and as he mourned for them, Frieza's henchmen tried ambushing him but he succeeded to hold them off until an elite soldier, by the name Dodoria wounded him and then left the planet.
He survived the wounds and now he knew that Frieza was going to kill their entire race soon, everyone else was oblivious to it. Even the saiyan king himself...
Bardock had to do it himself, while his newly born son; Kakarot, was being sent to the corner of the galaxy to some unknown back-water planet to conquer it when he grows older. His child was weak, but Bardock knew he had unlimited potential. That's at least what he felt when he last visited his child before going off on another mission.
But, time was running out and Bardock had to stop Frieza...
"Frieza!" The proud saiyan warrior named Bardock shouted as he dashed towards Frieza's ship that was orbiting planet Vegeta and slammed his fist right into the face of one of Frieza's henchmen before flying off to the next person, constantly shouting Frieza's name.
Bardock knew time was running scarce and kept dashing forward, his whole race was about to disappear in a flash but he was alone on this mission, all the other saiyans had not believed him when he told them about the danger that was about to come.
At least, if this mission would not succeed. He could be happy to know that his son is on his way to a planet, so that there would still remain someone who could let the Saiyan legacy continue on...
Bardock looked up at where Frieza's spaceship was and began speeding up, he didn't even bother to throw off the weak excuses for soldiers that clung onto him and tried to prevent him from reaching Frieza but he kept going; all the while screaming the name of Frieza.
The hatch to the UFO-shaped spaceship opened and Frieza slowly floated up. His soldiers stopped trying to hold Bardock back and let him fly up to Frieza.
Bardock had never seen Frieza before... but he didn't expect Frieza to look like he did. Frieza was an androgynous alien with a lithe body. His skin had a slight purple tint to it and what seemed like gills were on the side of his humanoid face. What seemed to be a white helmet on his head had two horns protruding on each side of it and it was built around something like a purple crystal which was in the middle.
But, he couldn't tell if Frieza was a male or female. He knew he was often referred as a male but he had feminine features. But what rubbed him off most was the lipstick that Frieza had... but enough with inspecting the tyrant, Bardock thought as he looked at Frieza who looked strangely calm but frustrated at the same time.
"Frieza," Bardock said in a smug voice.
"He has come out!" Some random soldier exclaimed in a surprised voice. Other's began gasping in awe and looked at Frieza who glared at Bardock slightly with a frustrated look.
"Heh, it all comes down to this," Bardock began, looking at Frieza who began raising his index finger as a small little ball appeared over it. "My fate, planet Vegeta's, Kakarot's!" He continued, his left hand opening up slightly while talking. "And yes, heh, hehehe! Yours too, Frieza!" Bardock exclaimed as a blue swirling sphere the size of his hand appeared in his open palm. "We settle it here!" Bardock shouted as he quickly pulled his hand back before throwing it forward as if he was throwing a spear, the sphere of energy being the spear in this case.
Frieza began to smile wickedly and laughed as the small energy projectile approached. "Ahahahahahaaa!" He laughed, raising his index finger even more and reaching up with his hand over his head as the small globe of energy began to expand at the tip of his finger. The globe grew as big as a small mountain and the energy projectile Bardock had thrown hit the globe and absorbed into it...
"W-w-what t-the?!" Bardock exclaimed as his eyes widened in shock.
"Ahahahaha!" Frieza laughed before calmly pointing his finger forward, sending the big globe of destructive energy flying forward against his own army and Bardock.
The screams of thousands were silented as they came in contact with the ball, Bardock was too late, he couldn't avoid it... the sphere hit him and his armor began to disintegrate. He didn't even feel the pain, it just happened.
"Kakarot!" He screamed at the top of his lungs before his body became nothing in the energy ball...
The globe of energy continued it's course and began crashing down against planet Vegeta where the citizens screamed in peril, the ball crushed into the planet and began causing earthquakes and raptures in the ground as it traveled deeper and deeper until it hit the core and exploded, making all the screams go silent in a second.
"Hahahahaha! Dodoria! Zarbon! Come look at the fireworks! Aren't they pretty?!" Frieza shouted as he kept laughing maniacally, staring in awe as planet Vegeta exploded...
But, unbeknownst to Frieza. A saiyan child by the name 'Kakarot' had been sent away some minutes before...
And that same pod Kakarot was sitting in was on it's way to it's destination at the outskirts of this galaxy, were one day, he would grow up and hopefully end Frieza's tyranny.
After a year and a half in Equestria, our story continues on a beautiful moonlit night on a farm... a familiar farm that many know of...
"'Ey there lil' miss, aren't you a cute lil' bugger? Yes you are!" Granny Smith said as she nuzzled a little foal, a little foal that we will all soon know as Applejack.
"Oh, she is. Isn't she?" Applejack's mom said with a warmhearted smile, her fur was a dark shade of purple and her mane was a lighter shade of pink, she also had white freckles.
"Heh, Big Mac has been curious to see her ever since we went to the hospital I suppose. He'll be in for a real surprise when he wakes up and gets to see his little sister," Applejack's dad said who came up next to his wife and laid one of his hooves around her neck and hugged her. He had a blue-grey fur and a bondi-blue mane.
"Oh, Ah bet! Darn colt has been slackin' off with his job while ya two were gone!" Granny Smith said jokingly as she took a hold of the sleeping Applejack and sat back on a chair.
The two parents moved over to the window with a smile on their face and looked out onto the night sky filled with stars and the glowing half-moon, they hugged closer and leaned against eachother when suddenly what seemed like a falling star appeared on the sky.
"Look, hun. A falling star... wish yourself something," Applejack's dad said with a loving tone as he slowly shifted his head to look directly into his wife's eyes.
"Mmm, how romantic..." she said before looking directly at the star and thinking for herself. I wish that one day, my foal will be an independent mare with a successive life and many good-hearted friends...
"Done making your wish?" Applejack's dad said, patting his wife's mane.
"Yes..." She answered, smiling at him and giving him a kiss.
"Heh, yer name... this looks like ah..." Granny Smith said while the couple was busy kissing, scratching her chin as she inspected Applejack, trying to come up with a name for her. "Oh! Ah've got it! Yer name shall be Applejack!" Granny Smith then said, quietly repeating the name as she looked at Applejack, finding it was the most perfect match she had done in years.
"Hihi, that does sound very nice. Applejack it is..." Applejack's mom said after breaking the kiss, turning towards Granny Smith who was holding a smiling Applejack.
Applejack then yawned and her dad walked over to her and placed her on his back. "We better get going, Granny Smith. We'll come and pick up Big Mac tomorrow," Applejack's dad said before walking out the door, hoof in hoof with his wife.
"Take care ya three!" Granny Smith shouted to them before closing the frontdoor and moving over to the window again, seeing the same falling star that Applejack's parents had seen... only that. Falling stars only appear for a split second on the sky. This one was getting bigger for every second.
Granny Smith walked over to an old telescope and walked up to her attic and swiftly opened her windows before placing the telescope there and looking at the falling star. "Darn hooten', is it an asteroid?" She said aloud as she looked through her telescope and saw that the thing in question was supposedly coming straight towards her.
"Holy Celestia, it's judgement day already!" Granny Smith said as she retracted from her telescope for a second before looking through it again.
Now she could see more clearly as it began to approach, it was a white metallic orb with a purple window on it. And she saw that it began to steer down a bit and sighed in relief that it wouldn't hit her house at least.
But what was it? Granny Smith had never seen anything like it. It wasn't that big, it looked able to contain one pony at max. Suddenly though, before she could react. The thing crashed down in the middle of the acre and she almost got a heart attack.
"Darn it, not mah apple trees!" Granny Smith said in a frustrated tone and went down the stairs and out the door.
She grabbed a flashlight on the way and activated it to illuminate her way out in the dark night. She could see the faint signs of smoke some distance away and began walking through what could be considered a forest...
Granny Smith walked and walked until she began hearing the cry of a little foal... the cry of an infant. She quickened her pace and as she arrived at the pit caused by the impact of the crashed object she looked down to see an open pod with a weird creature crying.
It had the tail of a monkey and other features of a monkey. But it had no fur on it's body, but it did have a mane ontop of it's head though. A spiky mane nonetheless. It cried out intensely and Granny Smith walked down into the pit and towards what she saw as a strange baby monkey.
The baby stopped crying as it looked towards the smiling Granny Smith and it began to clap it's hands in joy. "Bububu!" It said in it's baby language, trying to form random noises.
"Ye're a cute lil' fellah, aren't ya?" Granny Smith said as she smiled warmheartedly at seeing the small baby monkey being so happy to see her.
"Bubu! Bubu!" 'It' said happily and clapped, which was probably a 'he' because of the non-covered small private parts between his legs.
"Now, now. Lil' fellah. Ya can't be out here all alone, Ah better take ya home and give ya shelter," Granny Smith said and lifted him up, which after he kicked her in the face and began laughing deviously.
"Gah! Ye're a feisty one, aren't ya?!" Granny Smith said in a jokeful manner, placing the little kid on her back as she saw a text on the pod.
'Kakarot'
"Eh? Gokarot? Gokurot?" Granny Smith said, not being able to see clearly because of the lack of light and her reading glasses not being nearby. "Guess Ah'll just call ya Goku," she concluded before turning around and walking out of the pit and then back towards the house.
"Gokuu! Gokuu!" The baby exclaimed in a happy manner, clapping his hands cheerily.
"Ya like that name, lil' fellah?" Granny Smith said as she turned her head over her shoulder and looked back at the baby on her back.
"Goku!" He said, nodding and smiling widely.
"Somethin' tells me ye're gonna be a nice lil' peep when ya grow up, Goku. But we'll have to see, right?" Granny Smith said as they exited the line of the trees and began approaching the house.
"Bububu!" He said excitedly.
"Heh, now Ah've got two small babies to take care of, the more the merrier," Granny Smith said as she opened the door to her house and stepped in. "Now, we two better get some sleep," Granny Smith said as she grabbed a blanket and sat Goku down on the couch next to her favourite rocking chair.
Goku smiled and pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes, leaving Granny Smith to look at him as he fell asleep in record time. She had an amused expression on her face as she went over to her rocking chair and sat down and closed her eyes as well, thinking over what had happened today.
First, she had gotten to see the newest candidate in their family, and then a baby monkey had crashed down from the skies. With a smile she looked over to Goku and whispered. "Goodnight, Goku. May Celestia watch over yer dreams..."
And so begins the story of Goku, the beginning of a mysterious kid. The beginning of many adventures to come...
