Chapter 11
The Battle For Earth - Part 1
Galtz and Bardock flew straight at one another and hit each other in the cheek, causing a massive shock wave that levelled the entire countryside below them and sent the pair flying away from each other. The pair just floated looking at one another in hatred.
"You're going to pay for that!" Bardock shouted, anger evident in his voice, "He was defenceless!" Galtz meanwhile just chuckled, wiping away the small drop of blood that had come from the last attack.
"And you, the mighty Saiyan, can take the moral high ground? Ha, your pathetic. You and your entire race. I don't even know why Lord Frieza wanted to work with you." Bardock growled before Galtz continued, "And now it comes down to this, you and me. You killed my entire work force and that I can't forgive. Unless of course, you join me." Bardock just stared blankly at the alien in front of him.
"You're kidding right?" Bardock chuckled, before noticing Galtz was being serious, "You actually think I'd ever work under Frieza again? One day Frieza will meet his end at the hands of a Saiyan, and if anyone thinks I'll join that treacherous tyrant again, then they've got another thing coming. So I'm going to have to decline your offer." Galtz smiled, hoping this would be the answer before flying towards Bardock again and punching him in the face, before following up with another punch, but the second was blocked before both began trading punches and kicks, flying higher and higher into the sky.
"You can't win Saiyan." Galtz growled as he landed a punch on Bardock.
"I can, and will!" Bardock screamed as he landed a hefty punch on Galtz.
And that's the way the battle continued for the next few minutes, with both fighters landing blows on each other, but it stayed a stalemate. Finally both fighters broke off and landed a fair distance away from one another, gathering their breath back.
"Well," Galtz started, "I'm impressed. I've never seen a Saiyan of your calibre in battle before. No wonder Lord Frieza wanted you dead. You're good, but not good enough." Both continued to pant slightly before a smirk found it's way to Bardock's face.
"Let me show you what I can really do." Just then Bardock began to power up. Galtz began to take a reading on his scouter, his eyes widening slightly just as Bardock reached his maximum.
"Sixty one thousand!?" Galtz questioned before a smirk hit his face, "Still not enough." Before Galtz could react, Bardock was on him in a second, landing a punch to his face and sending him flying back. Bardock flew after him before landing a barrage of punches on him before disappearing and landing an elbow strike on Galtz's head. Sending him crashing into the ground, kicking up a load of dust. Bardock floated above, looking for him before his eyes narrowed and he turned around and punched, just as Galtz materialized behind him, punching him clean in the face, before grabbing his foot and spinning him in a circle whilst floating higher and higher before sending him flying into the ground below. As Bardock went into finish it, Galtz flew up at him as fast as he could, fist outstretched and crashed straight into the Saiyan's stomach, winding him. Galtz began to punch repeatedly before Bardock recovered and smirked before powering up an attack and flipping out of the way of Galtz's punches and launching it straight into his chest, knocking the fighter back. As Galtz flew back, he growled and launched a wave of energy straight at the Saiyan who dodged it easily before chasing after him and raining down ki blasts on the Metalask Force leader before smirking.
"You can't win Galtz, so why even try?" Galtz then got back up, his armour cracked heavily and blood running freely from some of his wounds.
"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into Saiyan, you think because you have the upper hand this early on that you've won? If this is the extent of your power, then I'm very disappointed. I would have expected a hell of a lot more from someone like you."
"You are disappointed with me? I have been winning this fight from the start and you know it," Bardock started to smile, "I'm calling your bluff." With that Bardock charged towards Galtz and landed a hefty kick in his face, sending him skidding back before landing and launching himself straight at Bardock, who easily dodged his punch before sending one back, knocking Galtz of balance. Bardock then began a flurry of kicks, landing each at various points on his body, before another kick, this time to the chin sent him flying. Bardock watched him fly back for a second before using all of his speed to chase after him. As Galtz recovered and prepared to attack back, Bardock crashed into him, landing a heavy elbow strike to his chest, sending him flying back once more. As Galtz recovered again, Bardock flew at him and punched him in the jaw before kicking him in the stomach, winding him and bringing his knee up into his jaw, sending him flying back once again. Bardock chased after him yet again and as Galtz recovered and went to block, Bardock crashed into him head first, knocking him off guard once more and flying back before Bardock chased and landed an elbow strike into his throat, before unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks on him before kicking him away yet again. "This is where it ends!" Bardock cried out before chasing him and unleashing a hammer strike into his back, sending the man to the floor in pain. Bardock floated to the ground and began to gather more energy into his right hand, "For the Saiyan race, and for the planet Earth, I will defeat you!" With that the power grew to even higher than ever before, "This is where it ends!" He then launched the attack forward towards Galtz, who had managed to struggle onto his hands and knees and saw the attack coming towards him. His eyes widened slightly as the explosion levelled the entire countryside.
If anyone had been watching, they weren't now.
Bardock floated down to the ground, a smirk on his face. "I'm sorry Yamchu, looks like you won't get to see the man your son will become." His face saddened slightly before a bleeping from his scouter alerted him to another power behind him. As he turned, his eyes widened slightly. "There's no way..." Sure enough, Galtz was standing looking at Bardock with fiery hatred, holding his arm as yellow blood ran freely from his wounds, his armour heavily damaged and cuts, bruises and burns littering his red skin, but he was alive nonetheless, "That was more than enough to kill you!" Bardock growled before getting back into a stance. Galtz then started to laugh.
"Did you really think that would be enough to bring down me? I mean really? You should know by now that I have more power than you could ever hope to attain."
"Don't make me laugh," Bardock taunted, "You're just bluffing. You know you can't win, and you're just trying to make me run. But I've got bad news for you Galtz, we Saiyans don't run, we fight until we win, and this win has almost arrived." Bardock then launched himself towards Galtz and kneed him in the gut, forcing the man to drop to his knees. "Pathetic." Bardock then kicked him away, knocking him to the floor. Bardock began to walk away as Galtz struggled to his knees once again.
"You realize that I am much stronger than I have shown you, let me show you what true power is about. I know you crave the challenge, so how about it Saiyan? What do you say?" Bardock pondered the thought, as Galtz weakly got back to his feet, "Think about it, if you let me power up, then this fight will be just that much better if you win... Not that you will mind you." Galtz smirked as Bardock paused before beginning to power up. Bardock meanwhile was thinking it through.
'If I let him power up, it could be that much more interesting but I saw in my visions, Kakarot always let opponents reach their maximum and it caused more harm than good. Damn it, why am I the only one strong enough?'
-oxo-
On the lookout, Kami, Gooseberry and Mr Popo were all panicking. "Don't do it!" They all screamed in unison as they watched, even though their words couldn't reach Bardock.
"It's a trap, Galtz is one of the most feared fighters in the galaxy," Gooseberry spoke out to the other two, "If Bardock falls for this bait then it will be the end of all of us." Kami and Mr Popo gasped as they continued to watch the fight.
-oxo-
Bardock finally made his mind up as Galtz continued to grow in power. Bardock had kept an eye on his scouter as Galtz powered up, but had noticed his power getting far too close to his own so he charged straight at him and punched him across the face, distracting the Metalask Force leader. Galtz looked up at the Saiyan in confusion.
"I thought you wanted a challenge, the thrill of a battle with a decent opponent got you scared?" Bardock just smirked before attacking Galtz once again.
"No, I would love to face you at full power, but this is not my planet and it's people won't like it much if I gamble with their lives. So this is the end of the line for you Galtz." Galtz then flew backwards, with Bardock giving chase.
"It's not like a Saiyan to get sentimental, I think you're growing weak, not that you weren't weak before." Just then Bardock phased right in front of him and kicked him in the chest, breaking a couple of ribs and causing Galtz to spit out blood. Bardock then fired an energy wave at Galtz, hoping to end the fight quickly, but it was cancelled out by an equally powerful attack as he recovered, cancelling out the attack. Both fighters flew back at one another, hoping to take down the other. Bardock went to punch Galtz in the face with his right hand but Galtz gripped his wrist before Galtz did the same, with Bardock also grabbing his wrist. As both fighters struggled for dominance, the land below them began to disintegrate as lightening formed around the pair. Suddenly Bardock threw his head forward, knocking Galtz off guard before blasting him with a ball of energy, knocking him back. As the Metalask Force leader attempted to recover, Bardock flew forward and kicked him in the chin, sending him back into the sky before both floated there staring each other out.
"I won't let you win." Bardock growled.
"How are you going to stop me? You Saiyans are a pathetic species. Just because you revert to primitive apes, you're to be feared? You're nothing!" Bardock then began to look at his right hand as he shook with anger, "You and the rest of the Saiyan race die today!" Bardock's anger began to increase
"You think of this as just a game," Bardock growled, "But I live on." Bardock once again looked down at his hand as energy began to form, catching Galtz's attention, "Surgesh, Seripa, Borgos, Toma..." He whispered before his head snapped up, "GINE!" Bardock then charged forward, his eyes flashing red, catching Galtz completely off guard, "Let's finish this!" Bardock then flew straight into Galtz, his right hand connecting sweetly with Galtz's lungs, knocking all air out of them, before an uppercut to the chin knocked him back. Before Galtz could fly to far, Bardock grabbed his foot and brought him down before kicking him in the chin and sending him flying. Galtz looked back, expecting to see Bardock chasing after him, but saw nothing.
"What?" Galtz cried out as Bardock materialized above him and launched an ki blast into his back, sending him flying down towards the ground. Bardock smirked as he flew after him, adjusting his left arm band before seeping more power into his left hand before pulling it back and landing a crushing punch into Galtz's face, unleashing a huge column of energy that could be seen from space.
-oxo-
All across the world, the power could be felt from that attack as the Earth shook. On the lookout, Kami and Mr Popo were completely horrified from the amount of power in that last attack. Gooseberry was on edge for another reason.
"That idiot, is he trying to destroy the entire planet?" The others looked at him before turning back, hoping that this fight was finally over.
-oxo-
As the column of energy died away, the smoke and dust released from the last attack exploded into the sky. Somewhere in the middle of this, a lone Saiyan warrior floated, his wounds showing but a smile on his face.
"Looks like it's finally over." Bardock chuckled as he felt something in his armour. "What the?" As he grabbed it, he felt a small bag and pulled it out. Attached was a note.
Bardock,
In this bag is a special little something to help you in case of an emergency. The bag contains a Senzu bean. This will heal any and all injuries in an instant, so take it if needed.
Kami.
Bardock smiled, even the Earth's Guardian had been looking out for him so he opened the sack and found a single bean inside. Bardock looked it over curiously before popping it into his mouth. His eyes widened as his injuries disappeared and his muscles flexed, increasing in size.
"To think that just a bean could do this." He whispered as he threw out a few punches, much faster than he had been before, "Not bad." He smirked before flying into the sky, the dust now starting to subside, "Better head up to the lookout to get Gooseberry before the kid finds himself in trouble.
"You aren't going anywhere." A deep voice sounded behind him. Bardock's eyes widened as he turned around. Sure enough, a very injured looking Galtz was floating there.
"How the...?" Bardock started before Galtz held his hand up to stop Bardock, a cruel smile on his face.
"Did you really think that would be enough to kill me? Really? It's time I show you what I can really do." With that Galtz began to power up, surpassing Bardock's previous strength easily. Bardock's scouter began to groan.
"What the? Seventy Thousand, Seventy Five Thousand, Eighty Thousand!" Suddenly it exploded, but Galtz kept on going. "No..." Bardock whispered as he looked at Galtz, still covered in blood, but looking extremely powerful.
"Now it's over." With that, Galtz charged towards Bardock.
So that's the third one!
