" Hey guys, Bardock here. The battle on earth seems to be reaching an end. This Kai guy however seems worried." "I'm right here you know!" "Yeah yeah. Anyways, after seeing the battle, I do believe Kakarrot might defeat Freiza, however, the Kai can't find Frieza, so I suspect something's wrong. Bard's form also wore off so it's all down to Kakarrot. I hope he wins."


Chapter 6: The saiyan's decision

The sky turned dark under the magnitude of the two saiyan's powers. The Z fighters had now stopped and looked towards the soaring powers. Piccolo however could only continue charging his special beam cannon, hoping Vegeta wouldn't notice him. The two saiyans were preparing some of their most powerful attacks. Vegeta's was ready first. "GALICK GUN, FIRE!" He shouted in anger as he fired a purple blast at Goku. In kind, Goku fired his Kamehameha. "HA!" The two beams soon clashed to create a large ball clash in the centre of the two blasts. The two were struggling to gain the advantage. Goku couldn't risk upping his Kaioken, it would kill him and Vegeta was using all of his power with this blast. However, neither of them accounted for Piccolo or Bard in their equations.

Piccolo was ready with his special beam cannon and Bard had managed to walk over to Goku, to give him his energy. Only now did Vegeta realise the magnitude he was facing. "Darn it!" He shouted. "Special beam cannon!" "HA!" Goku and Piccolo shouted, Goku's Kamehameha overwhelming Vegeta's Gatlick gun and Piccolo's special beam cannon speeding towards Vegeta. This looked to be his end. A large explosion erupted in Vegeta's position as Goku and Piccolo's blast clashed together. They had won. Vegeta's power had seemingly disappeared.

Vegeta's figure fell to the floor and created a miniature crater. Goku, Piccolo and Bard had no power left to celebrate. they just cheerfully smiled. Piccolo walked towards Vegeta's body. It had a slither of energy left. "With medical help, we could revive him. But if he's correct, doing so will increase his power. Maybe too much for us. Or we could finish him off, leaving you two as the last saiyans. Since that is an outcome, I'll let you two decide. I think we should kill him now in case he becomes trouble but it's your race."

Goku and Bard walked over to Vegeta. "What do you think Bard?" Goku asked. "Hmm. This battle should give us a power boost however not as much as him. We avenged Gohan and will revive him in a year. In the meantime, I think the Kai will take care of him. However, the prince might prove useful. He could become a powerful ally if we play the cards right." "In that case, we'll let him live for now. However I would ask of you to train yourself to activate that false saiyan form so that you can activate it if need be." "Right. Ok. That's the plan. I'll train until I can activate my false saiyan power, while you all do whatever, we also keep Vegeta stable but try to revive him as late as we can. We also will revive Gohan asap. That everything?" "Sounds about right. All right, ill catch up to the others. First we all need to rest. Goku, did you get any senzu beans from Korin on your way?" Piccolo stated. "No sorry, I was in a rush." "Right, Bard, can you head there and get us some. Goku, you stay here and ill gather the others back." "Right, see you all soon!" Bard shouted as he burst towards Kami's tower, where Korin lies underneath it.

It wasn't long before the other Z fighter's joined the aftermath. Piccolo and Goku informed them about what happened. Bard soon arrived and gave everyone who was hurt a bean each. These beans allowed the fighter to recover all of their power and heal almost all injuries. "Thanks Bard." Goku said. "Everyone know what to do?" Everyone nodded and then went their separate ways once again. The remaining Z fighters, Tien, Yamcha and Krillin told everyone about what happened at the battle. Everyone meaning Bulma, Master Roshi, Chi Chi and the Ox king. Goku and Piccolo took Vegeta to Kami's tower where Kami placed a spell on Vegeta, keeping him alive and unconscious. Bard then proceeded to train in all sorts of places over the year. Until, one year later...

Under Bard's request, the whole group gathered at Kami's tower. Bard was the last to arrive. "Thanks for coming guys. Kami, do you have the dragonballs gathered?" "Almost. We are just waiting for Mr Popo to return." Everyone started celebrating. "All right! Gohan can be revived!" Krillin shouted. Goku cringed at Gohan's name. Tien asked for attention. "Bard, have you achieved that transformation yet?" Everyone went silent and looked at Bard. "Watch." Bard walked back a bit and started to gather his Ki. The tower started to shake and Bard's hair went deep black, his eyes pure gold and his aura gold too. It soon ended. "I didn't go all the way, because I lose control but I can activate it." "Ok. I guess that means we can awaken Vegeta?" Piccolo asked. "No. To keep him contained, I linked him to the dragonballs. Once shenron has been summoned, then he will awake."

"Kami!" Mr Popo shouted as he ran across the tower with a bag. "I have them!" "Great! Now we can start." Yamcha stated. "Mr Popo, place the balls. Goku, you can summon Shenron. " "Thanks guys." Goku stepped forward. "Shenron! I summon you! Grant my wish!" As Goku finished, the balls proceeded to glow. However Kami was silent. Piccolo sensed this too. A sudden explosion erupted from the balls, blasting everyone away.

Shenron appeared, but Vegeta was also standing in front, a bit pissed. "Vegeta!" Everyone shouted. He just turned. "Grant my wish! I wish for.." Bard had already sprung into action and bashed Vegeta away. Everyone else charged too, Goku ran to shenron. "Bring back my son Gohan!" He shouts and then joins the others in holding Vegeta. "Your wish has been granted. Farewell!" and shenron disappeared. Vegeta screamed in fury. Darn it! A whole year of planning wasted!" Everyone was ready to attack. "Stand down you fools, we're all dead now anyway." Everyone looked at one another. "What do you mean?" Bard asked. "Frieza..." Is all Vegeta said and Bard froze. "Oh crap."
