Well, well, i didn't expect to see you here again Baba says when she sees Yamcha and Kuririn. And i suppose
the brat with you is Goku's son
.
Hey, watch about how you're talking to him. Despite his age, he's a hero worthy of respect Kuririn protests.
Gohan clears his throat to draw attention and starts talking in his usual polite tone...
Miss, we need your help. If you can find objects, you can find persons too. We need you to tell us where
Androids are. You see...

I see Baba says when Gohan is done with explanations. But, wouldn't it be simpler to ask me to spot Cell?
Not a very clever plan Gohan answers. Cell is moving all the time, searching for victims. If we fly fast to him,
he'll sense us, suppress his chi and go. If we fly slowly, by the time we arrive, Cell will be gone, searching for
another city to depopulate. So, instead of losing valuable time, i want to warn Androids, so that they'll not let their
guards down
.
You realize that people will be killed in the meantime... Baba notices.
We can fix everything with dragonballs later Gohan says. Now, we need to focus on the problem and not
act on impulse
.
Kuririn is surprised at how calculating Gohan has become. Also, it is impressive he doesn't get carried away by
his emotions. He's a chid physically only. Well, truth be told, since he was 4, he has never had the chance to
enjoy a normal childhood. First, he was kidnapped by his cruel uncle. Then, he was kidnapped and forced into
rigorous training by a green alien. Right after that, he had to battle Saiyans and Freeza. And, when everything
was looking to be ending well, his father selfishly abandoned him. Poor child...
Anyway, i don't care about your problems Baba says. You know how it goes. Either you pay me or you fight
my champions
.
What? Have you lost it, old woman? Yamcha cries. You're seriously going to pit your five puny warriors
against us? I am the weakest in my group, yet i can beat all of them together with my hands and feet tied
behind my back
.
No, this time, you'll only face one warrior Baba says. He's someone i brought from the afterlife. He's nothing
like the others and i have a ton of faith in him. Now, which of you will fight?

Well, Gohan, you're the obvious choice Kuririn says.
Gohan steps on the arena.
This Gohan brat is the reason that warrior came here today Baba thinks. For some reason, he yearned to
meet the boy
.
Bring him out, we have no time to waste Gohan says determined.
Come out, Bardock Baba cries.

Goku is sitting on a rock, gazing the planet's wonderful landscape. For some reason, he's not in the mood to
train today. Alina is approaching, carrying her lover's lunch.
Here i am, honey she says.
Goku looks at her.
How come you're sitting? she asks. Whenever i bring your lunch, i try my best to make you take a break
from your training
.
Tell me something, Alina Goku asks. Why are you with me? I mean, look at my face. I'm a monster.
What are you talking about? Alina cries. You're the most beautiful person i've ever met. I don't know what
the body you've told me you once had looked like and i don't care. You're still ,what's wrong with you
today?

Before answering, Goku remembers Chichi's reaction when she first saw him in that body. Alina, on the other
hand, loved him for what he trully was. Chichi never loved him. She was in love with the person she thought
he was. The mister perfect, with whom she'd have a family like those in the breakfast commercials.
Goku finally decides to talk.
Look, i know it's hard to be believable, but i have a feeling my home planet is undergoing a crisis. My son
needs me. Up to now, i was sure he could take care of himself and his mother, but now it's time for me to
return, as i promised to him i would do someday
.
Okay, i'll come with you Alina says. I'll go anywhere you want, as long as i'm on your side.
No, it's dangerous Goku says. What's threatening my planet right now is far more fearsome than anything
that has ever appeared. Please, don't think i'm trying to find excuses to leave you. I love you and, when that
threat has been defeated, if i'm still alive, i'll come back to get you
.
I guess i can't change your mind Alina sighs. You're stubborn as always.

With a multiple somersault, Bardock jumps on the arena. Gohan gets shocked.
Daddy? Oh,wait, you're not him.
Heh, us low level Saiyans look alike Bardock answers.
So, you're a Saiyan Gohan says seriously. He starts remebering the horrible things he's heard Saiyans have
comitted and feels some rage.
A...Saiyan? Yamcha asks surprised.
Saiyans treat the other races with contempt. Why did he bother coming here? Kuririn wonders.
Okay, i have no time for questions Gohan thinks. I have to concentrate on the fight. I'll start lightly to check
him out
.
With a shadow illusion, he teleports floating next to Bardock, ready to kick his ribs. Bardock turns and catches
his grandson's leg. Then, he jumps really high and throws Gohan down. The boy crashes on the floor, forming a
crater. Without letting up, Bardock fires a barrage of blasts, causing a massive explosion. Gohan flies out of the
hole and punches his grandfather's stomach, forcing him to abruptly stop his barrage. Bardock quickly
recovers from the pain and tries to catch the foe's little body. Gohan evades it by vanishing and reappearing
above his floating grandpa. With a hit on the head, he sends him to crash on the floor. Now it's Gohan's turn to
start a barrage of blasts. After a while, he stops, lands and waits. Bardock gets out of the crater, looking enraged.
Gohan is looking at him mockingly.
Take this the full blooded Saiyan yells, firing a huge, seemingly amplified, blast from both of his hands. Gohan
takes a defensive stance. After the blast, the former Freeza's soldier is shocked to see the kid still there, having
blocked the attack without any serious damage. Gohan smiles.
I don't even need my normal form's full power to beat you he says.
Wh-what do you mean your normal form? a shocked Bardock asks.
I mean i am the wielder of the legendary transformation you Saiyans used to talk about Gohan answers.
No, he's bluffing. A kid can't be the chosen one to fulfill the prophecy. The Super Saiyan was supposed to be
a beast of destruction, not an angel faced infa...
Bardock thinks, only for his thoughts to be interrupted by
Gohan transforming.
After some moments of shock, Bardock smiles.
I give up he says.
What? You can't disappoint me Baba yells. Since she never saw a Super Saiyan before, she hasn't realized
the boy's power.
I'm sorry madame, i can't win. He's the greatest force in the universe Bardock says.
Gohan is baffled. He knows Saiyans to be bastards. Why is this one suddenly so kind?
I'm proud of both you and your father Bardock says to Gohan. I'm also delighted that a descendant of mine
was the one to kill Freeza
.
A descendant? Gohan wonders. Are you...?
Bardock nods.
GRANDPA Gohan reverts to base and runs to hug him.
Kuririn and Yamcha are now in tears.
No matter how hardened he has been by life, he's still a child after all Kuririn comments.
The laughing Bardock lifts his grandson high. Then, he sits and places him on his knees. Sitting on his
grandpa's lap, just like he used to do with his other grandpa when he was younger, Gohan is now listening to
stories. Hours go by without him realizing. He has totally forgotten about the threats the planet is currently
suffering. His grandfather tells him stories from planet Vegeta, how life was there, how he met his grandma, how
they gave birth to Goku. During this part, Kuririn and Yamcha freak out for Bardock talking about such adultery
stuff to a kid. But, it seems Saiyans are not that protective over children.
I've been watching both you and your father Bardock says, while stroking Gohan. I want you to know that
your dad adores you, i have seen it and felt it. When he abandoned you, he just thought it was no big deal,
because he's a simple minded guy. But, trust me, you'll see him soon enough
.
How do you know? Gohan asks.
Well, during my last days in the living world, i accidentally gained the ability to read the future Bardock answers.
Oh, so it wasn't a coincidence that you came here today Gohan realizes. You knew you'd meet me.
That's right Bardock says. And i'm sure that, when, i hope not soon, you pass away, King Yenma will give you
permission to visit me at Hell whenever you like
.
Gohan's smile is lost from his face.
Oh, so you're at Hell... the boy deduces.
Well, all Saiyans are there. We have comitted despicable crimes and there is no way we could have been
forgiven. But, don't worry, Hell is not as bad as the name indicates. After so long, i've come to consider it my
home. My old comrades are also there and i wouldn't like us to be apart
.
Bardock turns to Baba.
Thanks for enabling me to see my grandson. I'll never forget it he says to her.
Ok, madame, time for you to keep your promise and reveal the current location of the Androids Kuririn says.
