Last time on Dragon Ball Z: PRIMAL, adventurous Son Goku, Raditz, and Pikkon arrived at the underworld of Planet Vegeta where the third-class Saiyans greeted them after repelling the Tsufurian threat. There, the Saiyan brothers had finally reunited with their birth parents, Bardock and Gine. Over supper, the Saiyan warriors caught up for lost times, eventually learning each other's fates and how destiny led to the rediscovery of the legendary Super Saiyan. Moreover, how the legend manifested in Goku, leading up to Frieza's downfall. Because of this, the third-class Saiyans honored the younger son of Bardock and considered the former Saiyan commander worthy to guide them in their hell as their chief. Interested in the new open-minded nature of these once cruel Saiyans, Goku offers Bardock to teach him how to discover the golden power for himself through battle. Brimming with excitement and pride, Bardock accepted. Will the father of Raditz and Goku achieve the legend? And how strong is the experienced Saiyan Commander? All will be revealed as Son Goku's journey in Otherworld continues, now!


Battle Grounds, The Wither (Planet Vegeta's Hell), Hell, Otherworld

Selypa, Gine, Toma, and Raditz eventually caught up with Son Goku as they followed Bardock to the designated battlegrounds.

While flying through the skies of the Wither, a thought came to Goku's mind.

Goku turned to Bardock to tell him, "I'm gonna slow down a bit! I got ask your friends' somethin'!"

"What? ..Alright, fine! Just make it quick!" Bardock barked, causing Goku to nod as he fell back to fly at the speeds of Toma, Selypa, Gine, and Raditz.

"Hey! I'm glad you guys made it!" Goku said, giving them a cheery grin.

"You think we'd miss this battle?" Selypa rhetorically questioned. "Think again!"

"Please don't get carried away, Kakarot!" Gine expressed while worrying.

"Sorry, Gine. After getting to know this kid, that's just wishful thinking!" Toma quipped loudly, causing Selpya to snicker while Gine bit into her cheek.

Goku sheepishly laughed before Raditz questioned, "Why have you slowed down, brother?"

"I just thought of somethin'," Goku said as he looked toward Toma and Selypa. "Did you guys say that you died on a different planet from Planet Vegeta?"

"That's right," Toma grimly nodded.

"You think that you'd ended up in the hell of that planet! How come you ended up here?" Goku questioned while shouting.

"That's the thing, Kakarot," Selypa said, chiming in the conversation. "We were in another place, originally!"

"What!? Really?" Goku further inquired loudly. "What happened?"

"The squad and I, barring your old man, were sent back to that large red ogre bastard at that weird check-in place!" Selypa explained.

"King Yemma?" Goku questioned. "He plucked ya out of there?"

"Apparently!" Toma butted in loudly while flying. " The bastard didn't say much, but when we asked what the hell was going on, all that he said was his higher-up told him that we belong with our kind in our hell! And so, we were sent to the Wither rather quickly!"

'Someone higher than King Yemma? Was it Dai Kaiō? Or someone else?' Goku wondered.

Soon enough, the group landed in a desolate area far enough from the Saiyan settlement, giving Goku and Bardock enough space to have their battle.

Paikkuhan was not too far from the others, remaining quiet while also curious about Bardock's potential.

"This is gonna be good!" Selypa said with excitement before turning to her mate. "We should have brought some more meat with us!"
