In a 'Dbz Goku meets Bardock' fanfiction, it could start with Bardock somehow being brought back to life or time - traveling to Goku's era. They might initially have a bit of a clash because of their different upbringings. Goku was raised on Earth with love and kindness, while Bardock grew up in the harsh Saiyan society. But as they get to know each other, they find common ground. Bardock could be in awe of Goku's Super Saiyan transformations and Goku could be eager to learn about his Saiyan roots from his father. They could also form a strong bond and work together to protect the universe from new threats.
Goku could develop a deeper sense of his Saiyan identity. Knowing his father, he might start to embrace more of the Saiyan warrior spirit. Bardock might change too, seeing the good in the universe through Goku's eyes.
He could meet his descendants like Goku or Vegeta. It would be an interesting encounter as they have different upbringings and personalities compared to Bardock.
Well, one key event is Goku's early battles against various foes. He faces off against enemies like Raditz. Another important part is his training and growth in power during this part of the story.
Often, Goku is paired with Bardock. Since they are father - son, it makes for an interesting dynamic in the fanfic. Bardock can see how his son has grown and influenced the universe, and Goku can learn about his Saiyan heritage directly from his father. Another character could be Vegeta. They can bond over their Saiyan pride and work together to protect the Saiyan race or take on common enemies.
A plot could revolve around a time - traveling character who goes back to the time of the Tenkaichi tournaments in Dragon Ball Z. This character could accidentally change some events, leading to a whole new set of battles and power - up scenarios. Maybe Goku doesn't get the senzu beans he needs at a crucial moment, forcing the other fighters to step up more.
Vegeta is also highly popular. His pride and his journey from villain to anti - hero are rich areas for fanfiction. Writers can delve into his internal struggles, like his constant need to prove himself stronger than Goku while also dealing with his new - found family on Earth.
Bardock would probably be initially cautious around the Fairy Tail characters. Given his Saiyan nature, he is used to a more cut - throat and survival - based environment. But as he gets to know them, he would start to respect their loyalty and sense of family. For example, he might be impressed by how the guild members always have each other's backs, much like how Saiyans rely on their comrades in battle.
Bardock may start as a typical Saiyan, focused mainly on fighting and power. But as he faces the threat to Planet Vegeta, he could start to develop a sense of responsibility. He realizes that there's more at stake than just his own glory in battle.
