Chapter 24

Unknown Planet

Gohan and the now awakened Zangya had just finished their breakfast and were now preparing to try out the idea Gohan had been thinking about of how to get off the planet.

"Are you ready?" Gohan asked Zangya, who nodded as both took to the sky.

Both reached the limit of the height they could reach before the air disappeared entirely.

"So what now?" asked Zangya wondering what Gohan's idea is.

"Well we hold our breath as long as we can and try to bypass the field that is cancelling our energy-sensing abilities and then if we make it past the field I can use my instant transmission to transport us to a planet that doesn't have a shield like this and then we can decide from there" said Gohan.

Zangya looked at Gohan strangely "Really that's it. You're a certifiable genius yet the best idea you can come up with is, hold your breath".

"Well ok it's not the best plan, but if this doesn't work, I have a few more ideas" responded Gohan with a broad grin as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Fine" muttered Zangya as the two held their breath at the same time and then headed out into space.

The two were traveling at incredible speed's that not even some spaceships could keep up with. Both fighters were keeping their senses open for any sign that they had past the field, but the further and further the two went nothing seemed to be enough, when they both stopped and looked at one another and nodded before turning around and blasted back to the planet.

It took about 5 minutes for the two to return to the planet where they could breathe when Gohan was the first to talk "Soooo. I guess that didn't work" said Gohan.

"Not shit," said Zangya.

"Hey calm down. Jeez. I still have another idea" responded Gohan.

"Ok, what's your next bright idea," said Zangya mockingly.

"Hey, I really think this one will work," said Gohan.

"Ok fine. What is it?" asked Zangya.

"Well since the whole thing is, we need to be able to get past the field and since we can't hold our breath that long. I think we should put an energy shield around us and then enter space" said Gohan.

"And what is that going to do?" asked Zangya.

"It will trap the air in with us and let us breathe while we move through space" explained Gohan.

"Oh, ok...Wait why didn't we do that in the first place" asked Zangya.

"Well I thought we could do it without the shield" Gohan answered simply.

"Ok" was all Zangya could think to respond with.

"Alright let's go," said Gohan as Zangya came next to Gohan.

Gohan then powered up and created a large blue energy shield that covered both Gohan and Zangya and gave them a lot of space to give them more air. The two shot through the air as the energy shield stayed around them and the two flew through space. The two had been flying for about ten minutes when it finally happened, the two fighters could finally feel everything around them.

"We did it" laughed Gohan in joy as both he and Zangya hugged each other very tightly, both happy to finally be off the planet.

The two looked down at the planet and realized how far they had travelled away from the planet before they could sense anything. Both then tried to sense anything on the planet neither could detect a single thing, it was just like the wall they had hit when they were on the planet.

"So Gohan where to now?" asked Zangya.

"Let me see. I'll just sense out a good planet" responded Gohan as he put his two fingers to his forehead and tried to sense out other planets but was distracted when he felt the unforgettable power of Bojack blaring from the planet right next to the one they had gotten off of.

Gohan looked deeper as he wondered why Bojack was powered up and came to a complete shock as he recognized the power levels on the planet "Zangya do you sense that" asked Gohan as he turned towards her.

Zangya nodded when Gohan continued "My friends are there fighting for their lives I have to help them".

Zangya froze before Gohan continued "I know you don't want to deal with him. I can drop you off on another planet while I deal with Bojack".

Zangya continued to stand completely still not sure how to respond, "Zangya," said Gohan as he tried to break Zangya out of her trance.

Zangya stood still for a few more seconds before answering "I...Want...To...Go...With...You" she stuttered out terrified.

Gohan approached her "Zangya you don't have to," he said caringly.

"No, I want to," said Zangya as strong as she could.

"Are you sure?" asked Gohan once again.

"Yes, I need this. I need to face my fears" answered Zangya with firm conviction.

"Ok" smiled Gohan as Zangya, put a hand on his shoulder and the two disappeared.

Planet Marrin

Bardock looked up from the Kai's that lay below him weakly and turned his attention to Bojack, who now floated above him. Bardock flew over to the other Saiyan's and helped them up as they stared up in shock and fear as they sensed the power radiating off of the Hera space pirate.

"So what now," said Tora as he voiced the questions that the four were thinking.

"I think we need to get out here," said Fasha, which the others agreed with.

"We can't, were stranded," said Bardock.

"What? What about the Kai's they know instant transmission. Can't they just teleport us off the planet" asked Tora.

"I already thought of that. There all out of energy and since there Kai's apparently they have different kind of energy, so we can't give them some of our own" said Bardock.

"So what now?" asked Fasha.

"We do what we Saiyan's always do...We fight" said Bardock, which the other's agreed with as they prepared for battle.

Bojack looked on in amusement at the four fighters who prepared for their fight or more accurately, death. Bojack landed in front of the four with crossed arms as he waited to see what the four would do. Bardock was the first to attack and crossed the distance between the two in a millisecond and launched a right hook at Bojack. Bojack took the hit to his chin and was tilted up when Fasha came up and kneed him in the stomach before he was hit again by a kick to the back of his head by 18 before Tora appeared in front of Bojack and unleashed a two handed energy blast directly in the face of the space pirate before joining his fellow fighters who stood behind Bojack in a defensive position as they waited for Bojack.

When the smoke cleared, not a single mark had appeared on Bojack whose back was still turned towards them.

Bojack slowly turned around and let out a hearty laugh as he faced the Saiyans before talking "That tickled".

The Saiyan's where extremely worried but knew it was too be expected. Bojack looked at them with an amused look "Now it's my turn" before disappearing.

Bojack reappeared in front of Tora before smashing him in the face and sent him flying off far into the distance. Bojack was suddenly hit by 18 who he couldn't sense and as she prepared to attack once again, he seemed to reappear at the side of her and hit her with a sharp kick that sent her airborne. Bojack noticed she appeared to be the strongest of the bunch and with her ability to be able to hide her energy signal he quickly followed up his attacks with ruthlessness as he caught up with her and met up with her in mid-air before driving his knee into her stomach causing her to freeze in air and blood to flow from her mouth from the impact. Bojack didn't stop there as he delivered a bunch of punches to her stomach before following it up by realising an energy blast into her stomach that dragged her down into the ground and caused a major explosion.

Bojack turned to the two other Saiyan's who had their defensive up and disappeared for a third time in a row preparing to continue his assault. Bojack reappeared in front of the two Saiyan's and unleashed an energy blast. The two Saiyan's managed to get out of the way and were forced to separate, which Bojack had planned to happen and attacked Fasha with a sharp punch to the face, before turning around and attacking Bardock and jackhammered him into the ground. Tora the first one to be hit by the newly transformed Bojack was now close to unconsciousness as he felt like every bone in his body had broken from the one punch he had received and was extremely surprised that he was still alive. The three others felt the exact same way as none could get up except one. Bardock slowly manage to drag himself out from the ground as blood spewed from his mouth, Bardock got up and was forced to pop a lot of his bones back into place which caused him to yell out in pain for doing so.

Bojack looked on in amusement at the struggling Saiyan and laughed "I'm surprised you're still alive".

"Ya well I'm not surprised your still an asshole," said Bardock weakly.

Bojack approached Bardock and reached his hand out and tried to grab his head only for him to miss as Bardock disappear. Bojack turned around and swung his fist behind him and collided with Bardock and launched him into the ground.

Bardock got up weakly, the only thing keeping him going was his friends "I have to keep going. It's all up to me now to save my friends" thought Bardock as he looked over Tora and 18 before landing on Fasha "My mate. I lost one already, I'm not about to lose another."

Bardock thought angrily as he drew strength from it and charged Bojack more fiercely than ever before only to be struck down by the strong swinging arm of Bojack that closed lined him. Bojack walked over to the downed Bardock who struggled to get himself up from the ground, Bojack smiled as he took in the sight of the bloodied and broken warrior before he raised his boot and lowered it right on top of Bardock's chest and started crushing him into the ground.

Bardock tried to hold in the unimaginable pain, as not to give the apparent satisfaction that Bojack was looking for but became too much for his to control and let out an incredibly horrifying yell. Fasha could hear the pained cries of her mate, and her heart went out to him, as she struggled to stand, every shout of pain that reached her ears pushed her determination to new levels and forced herself to stand even though pain shot through her with every little movement she made but managed to stay up. Fasha took one step forward but ended up crumbling under the pain that shot through her.

Fasha continued to hear the screams of her mate that hurt her deeper then all of her injuries combined "I can't do anything. I can't with the power I have. I want more. I need more" thought Fasha as tears started dripping down her face at the helpless scenario that she was now in.

While this was happening with Fasha, Bojack looked down at the worm he was now stepping on, and laughed. Bojack brought his foot up letting Bardock have a second of relief to be only cut off when Bojack stomped his foot down once again cutting off Bardock once again. Bojack looked down at the warrior he was now literally crushing to dust when he noticed the similarities between him and the last warrior he had fought that had trapped him on this planet.

"You know I realize that you look very similar to the last warrior I fought," said Bojack that drew a curious look from Bardock.

"Ya," said Bardock as he managed to drag himself up from the ground as Bojack moved away from him.

"Yes you two look remarkably similar, the same hair but he didn't wear that silly armour but some grey thing" said Bojack as he waited for the Saiyan to respond as he noticed the look of recognition.

"I see so you do know the worm" mocked Bojack.

Bardock growled angrily as his body hung in the air weakly without any muscle moving around "Ya he is my grandson".

"You mean was" laughed Bojack.

Bardock growled and brought his arms up and charged Bojack and threw a strong punch that Bojack easily dodged and then smashed him into the ground.

"I see that you share some other qualities with him. Do you want to know what they are" said Bojack as he made is over to the fallen Bardock, who couldn't make his way to his feet. Bojack continued talking not allowing for him to respond "Yes you both are weak. You obviously share that same quality. There's some more and another is about to be added, getting killed by me". Bojack walked over and stood over the broken Saiyan "You want to know how I killed him" taunted Bojack.

Meanwhile 18 who was on the ground barely staying conscious suddenly came alert when she heard the mention of Gohan and rolled over and managed to push herself up onto her hands and knees and looked onto the scene where Bojack and Bardock where.

"He was under my boot just like you," said Bojack as he brought his foot down and started to crush Bardock's chest who let out a scream. "He yelled just like that. You should have seen him crying horrible begging for his life. Pathetic" Bojack taunted as he continued his lie. "You should have seen how weak he was as tears dripped from his eye's" continued to Bojack.

"You're...You're lying" Bardock stuttered out weakly.

Bojack ignored Bojack "He was begging me to stop the pain he was feeling". "You should have seen him; he was standing right in front of me when a launched an energy blast. You should have heard his pathetic screams as I killed him" said Bojack.

"No Gohan isn't dead. The Kai's told us so" thought 18 as she tried to shake off what Bojack was saying.

As Bojack continued to talk, he started stomping his foot back on Bardock's chest.

Bojack continued to do so over and over causing Bardock's screams to become louder and louder, before he started to get bored "Well this has been fun, but I think it's time to end this. How about I give you a gift you can take to death with you. I'll give you the same death as I did your grandson. Think of it as a reward and something to talk about when you see him".

This shocked the Saiyan women as her power skyrocketed and clenched her fists trying to control the anger that was bringing it out.

"I need to save Bardock," thought Fasha as she let the power explode out of her.

As a yellow light exploded around her and underwent, the legendary transformation of the Saiyan race with the only thing motivating her was the man she cared for. Bojack was preparing for the final strike when he stopped as he sensed a power level shoot through the roof and a bright yellow light explode from the direction he sensed it from.

Bojack looked on with interest as he recognized the transformation the Saiyan had undergone "So this old trick again" thought Bojack.
