What If Bardock and Gine Raised Kakarot on Earth

Bardock and Gine flee the destruction of Planet Vegeta with infant Kakarot, crash-landing on Earth to raise him far from Frieza's reach. The family builds a new life on Mount Paozu, guided by the kind martial artist Gohan, who names the boy Goku. Bardock trades his warrior's armor for a farmer's life while Gine cooks from the same iron pot she carried across the stars. They hide from the full moon in a cave each month, protecting their Saiyan son from transformation. Years later, when Raditz tracks them down, the confrontation ends not in death but in reunion, as Gine welcomes her lost eldest son home and the family prepares to face Prince Vegeta together, united on the mountain they've defended as their own.
