Raditz, Vegeta, and Bardock stood very still muscles pulsing. Uferos and Refina practically stood around and looked at the sky, not expecting any competition. Bardock was in a fury. His face was well past red and was blue. He couldn't hold it in any longer. These people treated him and his combatants like piss pour; when they were the strongest known on the planet. "HEY ASSHOLES! HAVE THE COURAGE TO FIGHT US BEFORE YOU RUIN THE PLANET. YOU COWARDS!" The tail end of the sentence caught the saiyans' attention. They were annoyed now, and it was just what Bardock needed.
"Good, Bardock. Get them angry. Make them make the stupid errors," Bardock said as he thought to himself.
"Hey, Bardock, do you have a plan yet?"
"Yes."
"Well, what is it? We're waiting Bardock," Vegeta breathed impatiently."
"Come close and I'll give you both a visual."
The three huddled closer than they already were. Each could feel each other's breath upon them as they silently plotted.
Refina's hair was starting to levitate about her body. Her skin took on a faint glow and she had a maddened look about her. Uferos eyed her out of the corner of his eye. "Wow, Refina's angry. I've only seen her a couple of times like this. And the times she has been like this, none of her opponents have lived."
Uferos hissed under his breath, "hey, calm down. They're not worth it."
"They called us cowards and there they are plotting away slow enough to watch the grass grow. I have no compassion for them. They. Will. Die."
After awhile, Raditz, Vegeta and Bardock assumed their same positions. They had devised two plans, each very intricate. It all depended on who attacked first. Refina's hair was now fully levitating around her. "I'll go first," she said with edge in her voice. She disappeared instantaneously. The next thing that anyone knew, Raditz was on the ground yelping. Refina had grabbed his tail rendering him helpless. Vegeta charged at Refina only to disappear just before his fist would've have connected a punch. Uferos stood frantically looking around for his opponents. Bardock had gone somewhere where he couldn't be seen.
BOOM. Vegeta charged down from up top and kicked Uferos right in the face. Uferos was immediately incapacitated and doubled over. THWACK. Bardock had charged right into the saiyan warrior from the front and rammed into him right hard. Uferos lay on the ground lifeless. After a few moments Vegeta walked over and stood over Uferos's body.
"He looks dea—"
It was a trick. Uferos stood upon on his feet with his hand around Vegeta's neck which was slowly crushing away at strong muscles and vertebrae. Bardock shot a heavy beam at Uferos to only see it deflect from an invisible energy field.
Although he knew it was unwise, Bardock charged at Uferos in an attempt to free Vegeta.
The evil saiyan's hand moved at a blinding speed and also caught hold of Bardock's neck. Refina let out an evil cackle. "How do you feel now Raditz? Helpless to help your friends? And now you will die here and a pitiful death at that. Caught by the tail….you're an embarrassment to the saiyan race."
"O really?"
Raditz launched his body around to do a round house kick right in Refina's chest. Refina let go with no struggle. Raditz charged at Uferos building a beam of energy in his palm as he did so.
Assuming that Raditz would go for the chest as did his companions, Uferos took refuge using Vegeta and Bardock. Raditz continued to charge. But to his horror, Raditz slid to the ground blasted Uferos's legs. Uferos toppled over and loosened his grip enough for Vegeta and Bardock to break free. The three assumed their position in seconds. Uferos got up with a bloodied face and a small crack in his armor. Refina got up with a very intense glow emanating around her. Her eyes were wide and her pupils small.
She was in a rage and 'seeing red'. "No one…has EVER done that…to me. You miserable vermin, I was just going to kill you. But forget that! I'll make sure you suffer!"
The duo assembled into their stance. It was Refina who charged the second time. She was going at a lighting fast speed. And the energy she was accumulating around her was starting to make the planet shake. She threw a savage kick at Raditz which made him fly back into the many piles of garbage. Refina shot up into the air and started to put her hands together. "RAAAAAAAAAAAHHH."
The greenish glow in her hand was getting bigger and bigger. Soon enough, it was half the size of her body. She pointed the beam at Raditz who wore a horrified look. "Shit. This is the end for me." Raditz's body was too crippled to even attempt a block. He lay there helpless waiting to be incinerated.
Then, unexpectedly, Refina pointed the gigantic beam at Vegeta. "DIE SAIYAN! ATOMIC BLAST!" The beam shot out of Refina's hands at a rapid succession. Before anyone knew what to do, the beam engulfed every last bit of visible light and turned everything to pure white. For a moment's hesitation, there was silence. Nothing could be heard. But then, an enormous crashing sound followed.
Where Vegeta would've been was a huge crater that reached deep down lower, and lower until it seemed like it would touch the core. Bardock looked down the crater bewildered. "VEGETAAAAAA!! CAN YOU HERE ME?" There was no answer.
Bardock looked down the crater for a few more moments. It was then that he saw something move, a black figure of some sort. It slowly rose to the top of the crater.
It was Vegeta. But he was beaten so badly that he collapsed as soon as he got to the top of the crater. Bardock picked him up and laid him down by a large pile. One of the bones to Vegeta's left leg was sticking out. It wasn't only broken, it was dislocated. Along with that, Vegeta had several other broken bones. Vegeta had a hazed look in his eyes. He had a deep gash at the top of his head and was bleeding badly.
Bardock's eyes brows bunched together in anger. Vegeta was one of the few people he cared about. Fasha had already been taken. Bardock wouldn't be able to take seeing Vegeta die. Vegeta's eyes sluggishly made their way to Bardock's face. Vegeta began to talk through choked breathes. "Bardock…I want you…to know something. Through all these years…we've grown—close. You can s' ee that. But I want you to know, b-before I'm gone…you were a father to me. "
Vegeta let out a raspy laugh. "I, I remember the first time I met you. I was…hiding behind garbage watching you build a fire. I thought you were…so strange. Hehehehe"
"Don't talk like that!"
"Vegeta, you're going to live! I know you will! Hang in there."
Vegeta took one last longing look at Bardock and then closed his eyes. His chest still heaved up and down and brought relief to Bardock.
Bardock got up and walked over to his opponents. His face was angry and yet expressionless. With every step he took the ground crushed under his feet. A ring of light shot out around him similar to Refina. His hair lifted up and his hair was switching from yellow to black. He got into stance and avowed, "I'll never forgive you for what you've done. You've torn away all that was important to me! And for that I can't let you live! I'm all yours! GO FOR IT."
Refina and Uferos no longer smirked and wore casual expressions. They were serious now because they had finally awakened the beast. Bardock shot an energy beam large enough to engulf Uferos and Refina. Uferos dodged in time leaving Refina to take the blow. The blast collided and imploded up into the sky taking Refina with it.
Bardock was panting heavily. The attack he used was a special one he had been trying to hone for years in secret. He never even dreamed he would use it for it was only in a dire emergency that that attack should be applied. Uferos through an energy beam at Bardock which he quickly deflected without effort.
Raditz watched in amazement at how Bardock was pulling himself together. "Amazing, I didn't know Bardock had this type of power. We just might win this one."
Raditz was starting to recover from his shock and would soon help Bardock.
The two warriors were engaged in an all out battle. Both were throwing kicks and punches so fast that even Raditz could only see blurred images when they went more slowly. Bardock dodged all of Uferos's punches to his face and landed one right in the neck. Uferos quickly rebounded and kicked Bardock in the chin. The two then went into a beam struggle.

Bardock's energy attack that he used on Refina was starting to leave the stratosphere. As soon as it reached space it exploded. Refina stood hovering just about the clouds with a little smirk on her face. Being caught on that energy beam was merely a trick to buy her some time to think. Se had been hovering up there for a while and finally had a plan. Her lips twisted into an evil smile as she thought of how brilliant her plan was.
"Hmmm…I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees I'm not dead. The fool. He'll die no matter what. Fate is against him."
