"Wow!" Chi-Chi blinked in disbelief, looking down at the arena full of fighters. "Goku and Vegeta? Bardock and Gohan? All in the first round!?"

Bulma nodded, her eyes focusing on her husband who looked rather confident. She smirked, turning her attention to Chi-Chi. "Well, I know for a fact that Vegeta is going to win!"

Chi-Chi scowled, crossing her arms over her chest. "Are you kidding me!? Have you even seen my husband fight!? Goku can beat Vegeta on any given day!"

The women stood up, exchanging deadly glares until Yamcha and Ox had to pull them apart from each other. After they finally calmed down a bit, Chi-Chi took a deep breath and let it out slowly, leaning into her chair and fidgeting with her fingers. "Well, since Vegeta has nothing on Goku," she winked at Bulma, whose eyebrows furrowed in return. "I'm a bit more worried about the fight between Bardock and Gohan."

"Why's that?" Yamcha scratched the back of his head, taking a look down at the two fighters who were having a discussion over something. "Krillin was telling me that Gohan is stronger. You're not worried Bardock's going to get hurt, are you?" The once desert bandit winked, earning a slap for Chi-Chi that nearly knocked him out of his seat.

"Of course not!" Chi-Chi fumed, but her eyes remained on her father-in-law and son as she spoke. "I just don't know what goes on inside that man's head sometimes. I'm just nervous he's going to make a big scene and embarrass Gohan or take things too far, that's all."

"Sure," Oolong muttered under his breath, causing Yamcha to laugh until Chi-Chi threatened to hit both of them again, ultimately silencing them.

"Hm," Roshi pulled on his beard, thinking about the two men they were discussing. "From what I've seen and heard from everyone, Bardock seems to have complete control over what he does. An excellent tactician and seems to have a strong heart for the fight."

"I have to agree," Bulma shrugged, placing a hand on the worried woman's shoulder. "Vegeta is a bit of a hot head sometimes, but I can tell just by looking at Bardock that he thinks a lot before acting."

Chi-Chi smiled softly, patting Bulma's hand a few times before the blue-haired woman returned it to her side. "Thank you, guys. That makes me feel a lot better."

"Look!" Little blonde Marron cheered, pointing an excited finger at the arena. "It's my daddy!"

For the sake of the child's happiness, the group in the stands acted like this was going to be the fight of the century. Looking at Krillin's opponent, Pintar, they knew right away that their old friend was easily going to mop the floor with the big brute of a human. Chi-Chi sighed, looking over the chart of the fighters that was now hanging above the arena for everyone to see.

"Oh good!" Chi-Chi beamed, speaking to Yamcha over the sound of Pintar screaming. "Piccolo and that strange guy are up next, and then Videl's fight! I can't wait to see that girl in action!"

The bandit smiled, shaking his head. During the days when Goku had been attacked by his heart virus, Yamcha had grown very close to Chi-Chi and gained an even bigger admiration for Goku after seeing his friend kick death's ass. That Saiyan was the only one who ever encouraged the man, the only reason he even tried to face the androids in the first place. As for his friend's wife, she was a lot stronger than she appeared to be both physically and emotionally. Yamcha had a giant amount of respect for her, and from the conversation they shared earlier, her son was going to end up marrying a woman just as strong as her.

"Yeah," Yamcha finally nodded, seeing Pintar broken on the arena ground as a bored Krillin walked away. "It's going to be a good one."


"What..." Videl blinked, standing next to Gohan as the two teenagers watched Bardock placing a pink mat on the floor. All of the fighters were in the waiting room, practicing their katas or simply conversing with each other. "...Is he doing, Gohan?"

The boy watched as his opponent brought himself into a downward dog position, his rear-end raised higher than Gohan thought it should be. He chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Oh wow, I think he's doing yoga... But he's doing it all wrong!"

"Uhm..Gohan?" Videl raised an eyebrow as the teen left her side to stand next to his grandfather. Bardock sighed heavily, not taking his concentration off Chi-Chi's special training techniques.

"What do you want, kid? Trying to steal my techniques before our fight?"

"No, no!" Gohan raised his hands in front of him in defense, smiling kindly at his angry grandpa. "It's just... you're doing that wrong."

Bardock raised an eyebrow, eyeing Gohan through his peripherals. "What do you mean?"

"I think it's like this!" Videl blinked a couple of times in disbelief as Gohan got on the floor beside Bardock, making his body become an inverted V shape. "You see where my butt is? Not too high in the air? That's where you need to be!"

In one of the corners of the room, Goku and Vegeta were observing the two yoginis. "Do you see that, Kakarot!?" The shorter of the two Saiyans gestured towards the pair, his lips curling up in disgust. "They're practically imitating the Ginyu Force!"

Goku laughed loudly, rubbing the back of his messy hair while doing so. "Oh, I don't know... I don't think they look that bad. At least they're not striking-" The two Saiyan father's eyes widened as Bardock and Gohan stood up. The teen started striking numerous poses, announcing loudly that he was the 'Great Saiyaman' , and started tapping his feet wildly before striking his final pose. "...Is that the Saiyaman dance Krillin was telling me about?"

"Look, clown!" Vegeta pointed a finger at his rival's father who shook his head, not wanting to copy the Saiyaman's dance moves. Instead, Bardock rotated his right foot ninety degrees and stretched, his right hand on the floor while looking at the palm of his raised left hand. "How do you feel? That's your bloodline!"

Goku blinked a couple of times, watching the two until he broke out into a small fit of laughter. "I just thought of something!"

"Hm?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow, leaning against the wall of the waiting room.

"Imagine if those two fused!" Goku howled once more, picturing what his father and son would look like combined together. "They could put those moves to use and be some sort of dancing warrior!"

Vegeta's eye twitched at both the image in his mind and his rival's laughter. "What is this fusion technique you've been going on about?"

"Oh!" Goku grinned, holding a finger up proudly and regaining his composure. "The Metamorans taught me this dance called 'fusion' while I was in Other World! Two bodies merge into a single person for thirty minutes!"

"Oh?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow sarcastically, making fun of Goku's excitement. "Sounds like something a weakling would do, combining powers with another... On second thought, maybe it's perfect for Bardock and your spawn!"

The taller Saiyan shrugged, smiling at his posing father and son. "It's far from that! When two extraordinary powerful beings merge together, that person they create is unbelievably strong!"

"Tch," the widow-peaked Saiyan rolled his eyes, looking away from the happy one. "Sounds like a lot of bullshit to me."

Goku chuckled. "Well, I was actually thinking of teaching it to Goten and Trunks before my time is up. Those two would be a force to reckon with, I'm telling you!"

"Sickening!" Vegeta scoffed, taking a step away from Goku. "My son doesn't need the help of your cretin. He's more than capable of handling anything that comes his way, on his own."

"If you say so," Goku shrugged, laughing to himself once more before focusing on his father who was now done with his yoga practices. "But Bardock brought it up, and I have no idea how he even knows about the fusion dance because I asked the Metamorans if they've ever met him before so I could get a good idea of what kind of person he was. And they said they never heard of him!"

Vegeta's eyes narrowed, looking away from his rival and focusing on the low class warrior. Bardock was walking up to them, rubbing the back of his neck as if he pulled something while stretching. "What do you want, dog!?" He still hadn't quite gotten over the news of him being the Saiyan of legends, but knew there was a time and a place to handle it.

Ignoring the prince, Bardock looked at his son. "What's wrong with Piccolo?"

"Hm?" Goku's ear twitched at the mention of the Namek, and his eyes scanned the room until he saw the green man looking uneasy in the corner diagonal from where they stood. "I think he's nervous about facing that Shin guy. I'll go talk to him."

"No," Bardock shook his head, holding out a hand to stop his son from leaving. "I'll do it." While Goku nodded acceptably, his father made his way over to the nervous Namek who shot his eyes up at him.

Before Bardock could speak, Piccolo stood up straighter. "I have a weird feeling about Shin." He gestured a green hand in the beings direction, who was conversing with his giant red friend. "I just don't know what it is."

The Saiyan took a deep sigh. He had to get it out sooner or later. "Can I tell you something that nobody knows? And you need to keep it quiet until I figure it all out, or else I'll blast you to bits."

Unphased, Piccolo nodded and his eyes widened as Bardock described the Kanassan warrior that gave him his current curse he couldn't escape from. The Namek found it hard to believe until Bardock started telling him some of visions he had about this Shin character, causing Piccolo to believe his suspicions he had were most likely true.

"So," Piccolo whispered, making sure Shin was too busy with his red friend. "Shin must be the Grand Kai."

"The who?"

"This man of immense power!" Piccolo scowled, now looking in the direction of the two. "But why the hell is he here!?"

Bardock shrugged, now also looking at this 'Grand Kai' person. "The hell would I know? He's strange, though. I don't trust him a bit."

"Will Ma Junior and Shin please enter the arena!" The announcer's voice echoed throughout the waiting room, and Bardock stepped aside so Piccolo could pass him. Watching the Namek begin to head up the stairs, the Saiyan called out to him.

"Good luck, green man!"

Piccolo smirked for a moment, before his uneasy features resurfaced. Within seconds, he disappeared with Shin following suit. Before Shin began walking up the stairs though, he glanced over at the scowling Bardock and gave him a weird smile.


"You forfeited!?" Goku blinked in surprise as Piccolo reentered the waiting room. "Why do you still look so nervous!?"

"Videl and Spopovich! You're up!" The announcer called, momentarily stopping Piccolo from speaking as Gohan gave Videl a pep talk before she began to heading to the arena.

"You got this, Videl! Just remember how strong you really are, and you're going to be great!" Gohan gave her a thumbs up, and the girl immediately blushed at the compliment.

"Thanks Gohan!" she smiled warmly, their eyes locking for a second before Bardock made a gagging noise. Glaring at him, Videl crossed her arms over her chest. "Do you have something to say, Bardock!?"

The male just smirked. "You'll do fine, kid."

Videl beamed proudly at the two men for a moment, before scurrying towards the arena. The group in the waiting room could hear the wild cheers from her fans as she entered the ring. The Z Fighters grew silent as the large, creepy looking Spopovich pushed his way past them and followed Videl, causing shivers to go down the spine of Bardock as he looked at the 'M' on his forehead.

On his way down to the area where the Z Fighters were waiting, Shin glared at the giant for a moment and Bardock took note of it. The purple being's eyes were full of suspicion, but he let Spopovich pass by before stopping in front of Piccolo with a smile on his face. "Can we have a moment to speak?"

The Namek blinked, a bit surprised until he gestured to Bardock. "Only if he comes with me."

Shin looked the Saiyan, that strange smile remaining on his face despite the glare Bardock was giving him. "Of course."

The trio walked over to where Shin's red friend was standing. After a moment of silence, Piccolo cleared his throat. "I sensed an enormous power coming from you, and knew I couldn't fight you out of respect. Tell me, are you the Grand Kai?"

Shin chuckled, exchanging a look with his friend before looking back at Piccolo. "I most certainly am not, Piccolo."

Bardock raised an eyebrow, irritated by how slow everyone was talking and desperate to see Videl and that 'M' imprinted creature fight. "Then who the hell are you!?"

"Bardock!" Piccolo hissed, and then looked apologetically at Shin. "I'm so sorry, he doesn't mean any disrespect."

"Like hell I do!"

The red stranger finally spoke, becoming appalled by the behavior of the black-haired male. "He is the Supreme Kai, and you will treat him with your utmost respect."

Bardock shrugged, not really knowing what that meant. Was this Supreme Kai character some sort of God to the Namek, and that's why he couldn't fight him? He looked at Piccolo, whose features were completely stunned by this news as he slightly bowed to the purple creature who just laughed warmly in return.

"Please, Piccolo, there's no need for that!" Supreme Kai looked around, making sure the others were too busy watching the fight going on in the arena. By the sound of it, something awful was going on and the being took on a serious expression. "This is my ally, Kibito. And all I am asking is that you two keep this to yourselves because I don't want the others to know yet."

Yet? What the hell does that mean?

Having already agreed to Supreme Kai's wish, all eyes were on the confused Saiyan. Bardock rolled his eyes, not sure why this was so important but knowing this Supreme Kai had been in his visions one to many times, and decided to agree as well. At least Piccolo knew. "Alright. Now if you excuse me, I need to watch my granddaughter fight."

"Granddaughter?" Piccolo questioned, stifling in his laughter as Bardock froze and cursed under his breath.


"Holy shit..." Bardock's eyes widened as he watched what was unfolding. Videl had kicked that brute's head so hard that his whole damn neck had spun around. Thinking that she had killed him, the girl was immediately disqualified until something repulsive happened. Spopovich got up, twisted his head around, and started to fight against the girl again. "Isn't he a human!?"

Goku started to feel uneasy, looking to his right at his father. "Yeah, he is. Something isn't right about this guy." To his left, Vegeta nodded in agreement but kept intense eyes on the fighting duo. Gohan was standing in front of them with his fists clenched so tight that Bardock thought he was going to start bleeding.

The Z Fighters' eyes widened in shock as Spopovich elbowed Videl hard in the stomach, causing her to spit up blood and fly upwards. A purple orb of light began forming in his hands, and he fired the blast at the bloody girl who surprisingly dodged it, landing back on the arena on all fours. She continued to spit up blood, and a gasp came from behind the group as they looked over their shoulders to see Killa, another human fighter, looking in disbelief.

"What the hell is going on!?" Killa gaped, scratching the back of his head. "At the last World Martial Arts Tournament, Spopovich couldn't fly or fire blasts from his hands like that!"

Gohan's scowl deepened while Goku's suspicion rose even more after hearing that. The fighters watched in horror as the brute began punching and kicking Videl repeatedly where she was, coughing up so much blood that the fans swore the whole arena was going to turn red. Bardock raised an eyebrow when the girl still managed to stand up, impressed by the fact she wasn't giving up despite getting her ass handed to her.

Gohan, on the other hand, was mortified. "She's just too stubborn! She needs to stop!" It was painfully clear to the teenager that although Videl was a very strong girl, there was something inhuman about this Spopovich guy.

Despite being pounded fist after fist to the face, Videl stood up with shaky legs and got into another fighting stance. The crowd cried out for her, begging her to stop yet admiring her will. Mustering all her strength together, Videl charged towards Spopovich and punched him hard in the chest. To her dismay, the being just smirked and took a menacing step forward.

Spopovich returned her kick, sending her flying to the edge of the ring. She was about to fall off, but the evil man grabbed her by her leg. "Not so fast, little girl!" He swung her back into the ring, beating on her worst than ever before. With her body now bloody, bruised, and broken on the arena floor, Spopovich lifted a leg and placed it on her head to start crushing her.

Feeling the ki of Gohan rising immensely, Goku placed a hand on his shoulder. The boy was shaking, his fists now bleeding as Bardock predicted they would. "Son, you need to calm down! You can't interfere!"

Bardock looked at his son, surprised those words were coming from him. Ignoring it, he looked at his grandson who was near ready to explode with rage he was struggling to keep inside him. After hearing Videl's cries become even louder, Gohan couldn't take it anymore. He transformed, his turban coming off as his golden hair spiked up but his sunglasses remained.

Feeling the immense power coming from the young man, Supreme Kai looked at Kibito and smiled with delight. "Are you pleased?"

"Very."

Bardock's ear twitched, trying to hear more of their conversation but the sight of Gohan darted out to the ring distracted him. Just before the teen could be in sight of the crowd, Spopovich's partner, Yamu, appeared by the side of the ring. "Stop! You can have your fun later! Don't forget the real reason we're here!"

Spopovich glared at Yamu for a moment, and then simply shrugged. He kicked Videl off the ring, and she landed on the grass crying and hurt. Bardock got that terrible feeling in his stomach as he watched Gohan race to her side. The way he cradled her in his arms brought him flashbacks of carrying Gine back to the space pods after she got herself into trouble.

Gohan looked down at the beaten and broken Videl in his arms, and slightly trembled as the last of his rage left his body. All he felt was pain. Pain, and worry for the only girl he had ever gotten close to. "It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay." He spoke into her hair, bringing her closer to his body. "We're going to get your medical attention right away."

"Gohan..." The girl's voice was extremely weak and raspy, but a small smile crossed her face before she passed out in his arms. Making sure her heart was still beating, the teen glared up at the Spopovich who was prepared to leave the arena.

"The next time we meet," Gohan spoke through gritted teeth, keeping a tight grip on Videl. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to her."

Spopovich and Yamu only laughed cruelly and darkly, and flew away to leave the damaged teenagers by themselves.


"Did Dad go get those Senzu beans?" Gohan looked up at his grandfather as he entered one of the rooms of the hospital. Bardock pulled up a chair next to him, and the two sat by Videl's bedside watching her breath gently.

"Yeah," Bardock scratched the back of his head, feeling slightly guilty. "I'm... I'm sorry I took the last one."

Gohan smiled, reaching a hand down to brush some of Videl's hair out of her face. "Hey, don't worry about it. None of us knew this was going to happen."

I did.

Bardock watched as his grandson touched Videl's face gently before bringing his hand back to his side. "You really care about her, don't you?"

The teen blushed, about to answer, when the door busted open to reveal an afro-haired man. Bardock rolled his eyes, recognizing him as that annoying loudmouth who spoke before the junior division. "OH, VIDEL!" He ran to her unoccupied side, ignoring the two Saiyans who were gawking at him. "How did you lose!?"

Deciding to tune out the dramatic man, Bardock elbowed Gohan. "Hey, Saiyaman, we're the next fight. You know that, right?"

"Yes," he nodded, looking into his grandfather's eyes with respect and determination. "I talked to the announcer, he said he would buy us some time until my dad got back from Korin's place. I guess he was real close to my dad during his earlier tournament days."

Barely noticing two other people were in the room, Hercule jumped back a few steps and pointed an angry finger at the two. "HEY! I specifically told the nurse to not let fans inside! Don't you people have any decency!? My baby is hurt!"

Bardock raised an eyebrow. "Fans?"

"Gohan..."

All eyes were on Videl, who opened her eyes slowly to flash a brilliant sapphire wave at the teenager. In a frail voice, the girl murmured, "You should get revenge on Spopovich."

The teen nodded, rising to his feet while Hercule watched him with suspicion. "Of course I will, Videl."

"Oh, Videl!" Hercule cried out, wanting to tear out his hair. "Don't tell me this skinny kid is your boyfriend!?"

"Someone's a bit late," Bardock scoffed, leaning back in his chair and looking up at his grandson. "What the hell is taking Kakarot so long?"

"I don't know-"

"What did I tell you about dating, Videl!?" Hercule stamped his foot at the fact his daughter wasn't taking her eyes off the kid. "You can only date boys that are stronger than me! And nobody is stronger than your Papa!"

"I don't know," Gohan continued while Hercule went on and on about how skinny the boy was. "But I hope he comes soon. I can't wait for our fight!"

Bardock smirked. "Kid, don't go easy on me. I want to see your absolute strength."

Gohan chuckled, scratching the back of his head nervously. "Gramps, you know I can't transform in front of all those people!"

"And why not!? The brats did it!"

"Yeah, but-"

Sensing the familiar ki, Gohan and Bardock looked at the corner of the room where Goku appeared through instant transmission holding a brown sack of senzu beans. Mr. Satan's eyes nearly bulged out of his head, ranting to the nearby nurse amount how tricks shouldn't be used in a hospital room. Goku reached into the bag and tossed Gohan a bean, and he quickly popped it into Videl's mouth.

"You're going to be okay, Videl." He smiled warmly, caressing her cheek one last time. "It'll just take a few minutes and you'll feel as good as new."

"What did you give her!?" Hercule watched his daughter chew on the object they gave her. He looked up to yell at the strange group of guys, but they were already gone.


"Gohan, wait."

The teenager and his grandfather were prepared to leave the waiting area and head to the ring, when Kibito came up from behind them with Supreme Kai by his side. Gohan blinked at the tall, red stranger. "Uh.. Yes?"

"The odds didn't quite work out in my favor. I was hoping I'd be the one to challenge you today, but I need you to promise me something."

Bardock scowled, still not trusting this man when Piccolo placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. "Gohan needs to do this. I'm not sure why, but he just has to."

"If you say so, Piccolo..." Gohan looked back at Kibito. "What is it?"

"I need you to transform. To show your full and true power."

Smirking, Bardock placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder and forced him to out of the waiting room. He waved at Kibito, pleased. "Thank you, thank you! He'll be sure to do that!"

"You too, young Bardock! I want to see your power, too!"

"Don't I have a say in this!?" Gohan exasperated, looking around frantically as they were suddenly out on the ring. "I already told you I can't transform in this arena! They'll find out my real identity!"

Bardock rolled his eyes, gesturing to the crowd. "Listen to them, kid. I think they already know."

"GOHAN! GOHAN! GOHAN!" The student section from his high school screamed, causing the boy to flush a deep red and look down at his boots in defeat.

"Aw man... How did they find out?" He touched his head, realizing his turban flew off when he transformed earlier. He chuckled nervously, taking off his glasses and waving to the people. "Hi-Hi, guys!"

"Alright!" The blonde announcer cheered, placing himself in between the two fighters. "These next two contenders are none other than grandson and grandfather! They use to duke it out in the woods, but now they're duking it out for you!"

Bardock's eye twitched, and he glared at Gohan as if he was the one that told him their little back story. The kid just shrugged innocently.

"Let it begin!" The announcer quickly ran out of the way, knowing these two were related to Goku and expecting a great fight. Bardock smirked, keeping both arms lowered with one closer to his face and two fingers extended out on each hand.

"You ready, kid?"

Gohan returned the smirk, standing straight with his arms raised in two fists as if he was prepared to transform. "You want to start at base form? Not Super Saiyan 2?"

"Oh, ha ha! Very funny!" Bardock snarled, his eyes narrowing in on the teenager. "Make the first move, kid!"

"Did you hear that?" Kibito looked at Supreme Kai, shocked. "There's a level beyond a Super Saiyan!" His master kept quiet, trying to pay attention to every small detail of the fight that was about to occur.

The son of Goku sent a fist flying towards the father of Goku. Picking up a little something from Vegeta the first time they fought in the gravity room, Bardock blocked the punch with the back of his forearm so his fist was covering his face, and grabbed Gohan's second punch with an open hand. He tried flipping him over on his back, but found that he himself was the one being flipped. He stared up at his grandson, blinking in disbelief. "How the hell... Did you move that fast?"

Gohan flashed a two-finger salute, smiling down at Bardock extremely cheesy that caused him to become infuriated. In one single movement, he darted up and punched the hero previously known as Saiyaman right in the face. Stumbling back a little, Gohan pointed an accusing finger at his grandfather. "Hey, no fair! I was giving you a Saiyaman smile!"

"Stop the bullshit!" Bardock growled. "I know you could have blocked that easily! Why are you toying with me!?"

"I'm not!" Gohan answered defensively, glancing around at the crowd of faces who were engaged with the fighters. "I just..."

"They already know who you are, Gohan! There's no more hiding!" Bardock took a step back. "I'll transform first!"

"Gramps!"

Bardock stood with his feet apart, clenching his hands into fists and focusing on the sight of Tora dying in his arms. The sight of Gine waving goodbye for the final time. The sight of Chi-Chi and Goten coming face to face with an indescribable evil so much more powerful than Frieza...

Goku nearly came out of the pit area, watching with a matching look of awe that the entire audience had as he watched his father, the legendary Super Saiyan, come to life. The golden hair, the aura, the icy green eyes... It was like looking into a mirror. "Wow..." Goku grinned. "That's my dad..."

"Oh shut up," Vegeta muttered under his breath. "He can only become a first level Super Saiyan."

"Yeah, but he's the legendary Super Saiyan!"

"Legendary Super Saiyan," Vegeta mocked. "Traitor, that's what he is! A low class dog!"

Gohan smiled widely at Bardock, a proud feeling reflecting in his orbs as he looked him over. "Well, alright then, Gramps. So you want me to transform now?"

The father of Goku glanced over at the pit area to Piccolo, who nodded solemnly. "An ascended Super Saiyan."

"Hm," Gohan bit his bottom lip, unsure. He also glanced over at Piccolo, who, at this point, was becoming irritated. "What should I do, Piccolo!?"

"Super Saiyan 2, dammit!"

Alright, here goes nothing.

Bardock's eyes widened as the tile of the already shattered arena began to shake. Gohan let out a loud scream, bolts of energy in the form of electricity as it seemed to the observers' eyes caused the tiles to rise around him. His golden hair was standing up straighter than Bardock's, and the aura he produced was like a flame compared to his smooth one.

The grandfather blinked, taking in the sight of his grandson. "Gohan..." He was near breathless, feeling such an enormous power surround him. "I've... I've never been so proud."

Debris rose around the ascended Super Saiyan, as he smiled at his grandfather. "Now you see what I'm truly capable of!"

"Go-" Bardock's head started to pound, and he had to grab it just to keep control of himself. Falling to his knees, the crowd screamed in shock, not knowing what's going on.

Shit! Not now, not now!

The sound of the audience and his grandson's aura disappeared suddenly, and the physic male opened his eyes slowly to find himself watching the Supreme Kai, Gohan, Vegeta, and Goku in that weird ship he had envisioned before. Except this time, Bardock was with them andn Vegeta wasn't the only one with a 'M' on his forehead.

It was Bardock, too.

The vision suddenly changed to Gohan and Supreme Kai escaping multiple ki blasts sent from the 'M' stamped Bardock. Wanting to protect the purple being, Gohan told him to hide. "I'll fight him! Just go!"

Bardock felt like throwing up when all he saw was the 'M' Bardock, bloody and holding a body he couldn't identify. For the first time in a long time, the Saiyan saw who he was back on Planet Vegeta.

The screams of the crowd filled Bardock's ears, causing him to breath heavily until he opened his eyes. Still in his Super Saiyan 2 form, Gohan looked down at his grandfather with a look of pure concern on his face. He hated when Bardock had these random... nightmares.

Just as Gohan was about to step forward to offer his grandfather some help, Spopovich and Yamu came flying out of nowhere with some sort of vacuum looking device. He was about to fend them off when he felt his body freeze against his own will. The giant of the two held onto Gohan as Yamu stuck the device in him, draining all of his powers until the boy was almost lifeless.

Dropping him harshly on the arena, the two creeps took off, leaving nothing behind but one damaged body and one damaged soul.
