Me:Okay, now, ONTO THE STORY!! For those who are wondering, I USE SABAT VEGETA, NOT DRUMMOND VEGETA! That's right! Bardock's no scientist in this fic!

Episode 10:

Is this really happening?!

Vegeta manged to get off of the blast. He was high above the clouds.

"DARN THAT KAKAROT!!" he yelled, "Hm...I don't want to have to do this, but it seems I have no choice!" he began to look around, "I'll just have to transform! But where is their darn moon?! It's a MOON! You can't just hide it!" he flew around the planet searching.

"Ha! He can look all he wants...he'll NEVER find it!" King Kai snorted from his small planet.

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!" Bubbles grunted.

"He should've come back down by now..." Goku said to himself, after standing around for about 2 or 3 hours.

"Grrr! They must've destroyed it knowing I could transform!!" Vegeta yelled, "Oh well...I still have my ways!" he then landed in front of Goku.

"There you are! I was starting to think you ran away." Goku teased.

"It seems your little friends destroyed the moon so I couldn't transform." Vegeta pointed out.

"Moon...? Transform...?" Goku asked.

Oh crap! Well...I guess he was gonna find out eventually...Bardock thought.

"Play dumb if you wish. I can still transform, though." he said, and an energy ball formed in his hand, "It isn't the moon itself that makes us transform as you may have believed."

"Huh?"

"Light is reflected from the suns rays onto the surface of the moon. The reflected rays are what are called 'bluntz waves'. The waves enter through our eyes and cause a reaction in our tails, thus making us transform."

"I don't understand!"
"Oh, you will. You see this? We Saiyans figured out that we were at the mercy of the moonlight on any planet we were on. We were unable to control day or night. But then..." Vegeta laughed sinisterly, "Then, we discovered how to create a special ball of energy which could do the same as an ACTUAL moon! When it mixes with the planet's oxygen, and I look at it, I will transform!"

No! I have to stop him! But how?!

"Ready? Here we go!!" Vegeta said and released the ball into the sky. He looked up at it, and began to become Goku's worst nightmare. His eyes became red. His teeth grew into fangs. He, himself, grew to more that 100 times his normal size. He was now...a GREAT APE!!

Bardock was looking down so that he, too wouldn't transform. He never was able to control himself as a great ape.

Think, Bardock, think! His conscience yelled at him, DO SOMETHING!!

"EEP!" Yajarobe yelped.

"Keep quiet! I'm trying to figure out a way to help him!" Bardock spat.

"Now, Kakarot, PREPARE TO DIE!!"

"Ah! I understand now! That great ape at the stadium...THAT WAS ME!! Which also mean..." Goku said, "I KILLED MY GRAMPA!! I'm so sorry! I don't know if I'll ever be able to make it up to you." Vegeta began to violently smash everything in attempt to catch the ever-agile Goku. But, he kept dodging by the skin of his teeth. Goku hid behind a rock.

"Run all you want." Vegeta said, then smashed the rock, "But you can never hide!!"

"Oh man! I'm in trouble...BIG TIME!!"

"Shouldn't we help him?!" Yajarobe asked.

"I don't know!! Gr...I...I HAVE TO HELP HIM, SOMEHOW!!"

"Kaioken...TIMES 4!!" Goku shouted. But his body was too weak to use the technique for long.

"Krillin! What's that strange light?" Gohan asked as he turned around.

"I don't know...but isn't that where your dad is?"

"Something isn't right..." Gohan murmured, "I HAVE TO GO HELP HIM!!"

"Gohan wait for me!" Krillin exclaimed, chasing after the young half-Saiyan.

Goku fell the the ground with a thud. Vegeta laughed evilly, then jumped up and stomped Goku's legs. Goku cried out in pain.

"Well, well. It looks like you won't be running from me any more!!" Vegeta teased maniacally. He then picked up the wounded hero and held him in one hand. He began to squeeze him violently. Goku screamed at the top of his lungs. He was going to be squashed! And Gohan and Krillin weren't even CLOSE to arriving in time!

"He's screwed of somebody doesn't do something!" Yajarobe said. But Bardock already knew that. He grabbed Yajarobe's sword and charged at the great ape monster.

"No one can save you know!" Vegeta said as he was about to snap Goku's neck.

"Hey, ugly! Let go of my son!!" Bardock yelled and then sliced Vegeta's tail off. As a reaction, Vegeta dropped Goku. Goku's eyes were closed, so he couldn't see his savior.

"No!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Vegeta shouted as he changed back to normal. When he was his average size again, he said; "I wondered where you had scurried off to, YOU RAT OF A WARRIOR!!"

"The screams were too horrible for me to stand by any longer. I had to do something. Now...YOU DIE!!" Bardock said, and turned his hand backward, sending a blast directly to the fake moon, destroying it.

"Without you, you can't transform. A stupid mistake!!" Vegeta pointed out and tried to punch Bardock's face. Bardock caught Vegeta's fist.

"No Vegeta. You're the one who made a stupid mistake. You messed with the wrong man's son." he then used Vegeta as his personal punching bag. And he didn't exactly go easy on the prince, either. He went all out. He was about to finish him when he heard his son's voice.

"Please, whoever you are...show him...mercy..." Goku pleaded.

"But-"

"Please. He's the last of my kind."

He really doesn't notice who I am...Bardock thought, "That's where you're wrong."

"Huh?" Goku asked, "N...never mind for now...please, let him...let him live..."

"But why?"

"By showing him mercy...we are showing him how kind people can be. And maybe some day...he'll do the same for one of us..."

"You've always been waaaay too forgiving..." Bardock sighed, then dropped Vegeta, "Well, since I can't kill you, I'll just give you something to remember this defeat by!!" he then blasted Vegeta with something strong enough to bring the prince within inches of death, "Don't come back. EVER!" Vegeta then called his pod to him.

"Fools..." he chuckled, "I will return. And when you beg me for mercy, I'll stare into your eyes as I kill you..." then, he was gone. Bardock rushed over to his son who was laying on the ground, near death.

"Who are you...? You look...just like me!!" Goku asked.

"Yeah...oh, God, how do I put this...?" Bardock sighed.

"Huh?" Goku said, giving Bardock a confused look.

"Don't give me that look." Bardock joked, "Okay...well...I'm...uh..."

"You guys did it!" Yajarobe interrupted. "Hey, what's the big idea! I thought you said for me to not tell-"

"Shut up!! I didn't think I'd have to step in!" Bardock barked.

"What...?"

"Well, aren't you at least gonna chase after your son who you beat up?" Yajarobe asked.

"You idiot! Vegeta isn't my son!!"

"But you said you came to watch your son-ooooh..."

"Watch his son what?!" Goku asked, feeling left out.

"He said he came to watch his son fight. But I thought he was talking about Vegeta. But his son...it's you!!" Yajarobe explained.

"What?!" Goku exclaimed.

"Yajarobe just saved me some trouble..." Bardock murmured, "Yes, Kakarot, I'm your father."

"But how?! King Kai said..."

"Well, your mother, brother, and my best friend wished me back using the dragon balls of Namek. Or at least...that's what Yemma said..."

"Dragon balls...on Namek?!" Goku and Yajarobe exclaimed.

"This is great!!" Goku smiled, "We can wish the others back after all!"

"Always thinkin about the others, huh?" Bardock asked.

"F...father...?" Goku stuttered.

"Yeah?" Bardock asked.

"Sorry I can't...get up right now..."

"It's okay. Come on. I'll take you to the hospital." he offered.

"What about me?!" Yajarobe exclaimed.

"You wait here and tell the others where we went." Bardock ordered.

"But...grrrr...fine!"

--Flashback--

Raditz, who was 13, was on Frieza's ship. He had just returned from a mission, which he failed.

Frieza isn't gonna be happy with me...he thought, then sighed.

Bardock couldn't stand being of Frieza's ship, even as a spirit, but could sense when his son was in danger. He was getting one of those feelings again, so he went to investigate.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Frieza barked, "How did you fail that mission?!"

"I'm sorry, sire!! Their moon...it was gone!! I couldn't transform, and I haven't learned how to use an artificial moon yet!!" Raditz groveled.

"How dare you come back here with such excuses!!" Frieza yelled. "Maybe you won't fail when you're dead!" he then shot a blast at Raditz. It was right on target, until Bardock stepped in. But, being a spirit, he barely deflected it away from Raditz. It cut through his hair, but other than that, it didn't touch him.

What just happened...?! he thought.

"I will make sure to not show you mercy next time!!" Frieza lied, then went away in his transport.
