The dim light of Planet Vegeta's twin suns filters through the window of Bardock and Gine's home, casting long shadows across the worn floor. Bardock stands with arms crossed, his scarred face grim. Gine's hands tremble as she watches him. The air is thick with unspoken dread. Bardock's voice cuts the silence: 'I think we need to send Kakarot somewhere safe.' Gine's eyes widen. 'What? But... Lord Frieza...' she whispers. He turns to her, his gaze hard. 'You have to listen to me, Gine. Frieza is going to destroy our planet.' She shakes her head. 'But it might just be a fairytale story... who gonna know, Bardock?' Her voice falters, waiting for his answer.
