Chapter 55: Special Garlic Junior Saga
Salt stood bored on top of the lookout his eyes locked on to the horizon as he slowly turned his head to monitor the sky. The Makyan let out a soft grown as he stretched his hand's above his head and leaned backwards.
"Why am i always the one left on guard duty" He muttered under his breath as he began to pace around his feet lightly tapping the tile floor.
The other Makyan and Garlic Junior had descended within the depths of the lookouts many corridors in search for Garlic Senior's black water mist which Garlic Junior was saw Kami had hid on the lookout.
"I could down their having fun" He continued to mutter looking down towards the planet's surface "I could be terrorising the civilians and make them beg for mercy, I don't know why master Garlic is so obsess with his fathers water! We don't need it we can bend all these Earthlings to our will"
Crack! The red skinned man smashed his right fist into his left palm as he continued to itch for a fight.
"Why are we even waiting for that puny man Goku!? Surly he wouldn't dare face us he couldn't beat master last time they fought and lord Garlic has only gotten stronger since. Why don't we go after him..."
Suddenly a white speck on the horizon caught Salt's eyes cutting the Makyan off his rant as he stood up straight and raised his guard.
"What the...!"
Smash!
Yamcha charged though the air sweat visible on his brow dripping down his face as the human's white hot aura blazed around him. The EX-bandit was so infuriated with Bulma's word's previously that he had used his maximum flight speed to reach the lookout as fast as possible and way before the others who where flying at a more steady pace to conserve energy.
Not missing a beat upon seeing the lookout Yamcha locked on to the nearest Ki signature he could find attacking instantly his right hook he sent towards the smaller red skinned man's face was blocked instantly the Makyan eyes where open slightly larger clearing displaying his shook at the sudden experience of the scar faced man.
But the look of shock was soon replaced by a wicked smile as the Makyan jumped backwards into the air and landed ten feet away creating distance between him and his foe as he drew into his stance.
"You where brave to come here!" He yelled. "Brave but foo-"
Yamcha didn't let the Makyan finish his sentence the ex-bandit was attempting to stop the threat to earth by himself before the other's arrived.
"That will show Bulma!"
He thought to himself as he leapt forward bringing his left leg behind his body before grounding himself with his right foot and swung his left foot forward to deliver a powerful kick into Salt's side.
The Maykan swung his right forearm up to block the blow but to no avail as the blow knocked him aside causing him to smash into the ground as he rolled across the tiled surface until he used his momentum to return back to his feet.
A pure black aura surrounded Salt as he brought up an arm to wipe away the blood that was seeping from his lip. He had taken the human too lightly and knew the others would laugh at him if he called out now. Being the smallest of the group he constantly experience from the other's being called a weakling he would hate to think what they say if he asked for help now.
"What a weakling, how pathetic" Mustard's disembodie voice echoed in Salt's mind.
"Can't even beat a human by himself!? How useless" Vinger's voice growled in his ears.
"If he wasn't so entertaining to tease i wouldn't know why we kept him around!" Spice cackled.
No calling for help was out of the question he wouldn't live it down he would defeat the human in front of him without interference without the other's. Salt sprang forward to attack at the same time Yamcha did the two sending right handed fist at each other.
Boom!
Yamcha and Salt's fist's connected causing a shock wave on impact which echoed around the lookout the force of which caused a few of the pine trees Mr Popo had grown over the years to topple over just from the wind shock waves sent out by the collision. But neither of the two warrior budged as they instantly sent another fist flying against the other only for them to once again collide against each other.
The battle had begun as the two foe clashed at lighting speed kicking punching and blocking both looked for an opening a mistake.
It came when Yamcha already worn out from his hasty flight to the lookout over exerted a right handed punch allowing Salt to slip under his guard and uppercut a left handed strike into the Ex-bandit's stomach.
"Graaahhh" Yamcha chocked his mouth swinging over as he spit up salver. But he didn't allow the pain to falter him or his mistake lose him the fight.
Now that the Makyan was within his grasp the Earthline wrapped his arms around the red skinned man pulling him into his stomach before performing a belly to belly suplex smashing Salt's back against the ground before using his backwards momentum to simple back flip back onto his feet before stamping a right foot onto Salt's head.
This knocked the Maykan straw hat off his head revealing the red skinned man's bald head.
"How dare you!" Salt growled rolling away as Yamcha sent another stomp towards him.
Rolling to his knee's Salt raised one hand with all his fingers pointing at Yamcha's body.
"Surprise blast!" He roared firing the beam of energy into Yamcha's side.
The Ex-bandit rolled with the blast his right arm badly burned from the impact as he spun out of the attack.
"Damit!" Yamcha cursed himself inwardly. "I'm letting my anger at Bulma distract me! He is a lot more powerful than i give him credit if i'm not carful i could..."
The Ex-Bandit remembered his death at the hand's of the Sayian's and gulped in fear but soon put the emotion aside.
"No i can't let my fear get to me! I trained with King Kia I'm stronger now i need to prove myself to the others i need to show them that i can be counted on to deal with a threat that I'm not a loser!"
Doing a quick complex set of moments which finished with his left arm pumped up right extending two fingers the Ex-bandit dodged another set of blasts sent his way as he summoned up his signature attack. The spirt ball!
The small blue orb appeared above Yamcha finger tips before the bandit threw his hand's forward sending the attack flying towards Salt. The red skinned Maykan jumped on the way and smiled.
"You missed!" He laughed.
Crash! The ball suddenly changing direction and smashed into Salt's side smashing him into the ground and hit him again after he landed causing the smaller fighter to let out a gasp of pain before he rolled out of the way of the powerful orb that crashed against the tiles before flying up back towards Salt who was forced to scutter away on all four's.
Crunch!
Yamcha took advantage and kicked the prone man in the gut causing Salt to swing one hand out wildly to retaliate but with a simple flick of his wrist the Scar faced man sent his attack crashing directly into the Mayken's back.
Jumping backwards still concentrating on the orb he currently was attacking with, with just his two fingers the ex-bandit summoned another ball in his right hand and sent that flying.
With two orbs attacking him from two direction's Salt was on the defensive the small man dodged and weaved though the attack's throwing himself to the floor to dodge an Arial assault it was tiring. He also had no chance to even think of a counter attack he was using.
Crack!
His opponent's focus on his two orb's Yamcha forced his foe to dodge to the right and meet the dodge with a powerful kick to the gut which sent the Maykan crashing back into the orb that he had previously tried to dodge.
"You barstard!" Salt roared in pain only to be hit by the other orb that crashed into his face.
This was ridiculous the Earthline was getting the better off him, yet he still wouldn't call for help that's when he noticed the sweat dripping from Yamcha's body and the slight shake in the Ex-Bandit's arms.
"He's getting tired!" Salt thought to himself with a smile as he bent backwards and lifted his legs at the same time to dodge both orbs once again. "Of course keeping this attack up must be draining his stamina he's getting tired his attacks are becoming easier to dodge now"
The red skinned man dodged to the right and swung a Ki blast towards the Human warrior Yamcha took to the sky to dodge the attack but in doing so dropped his already injured right arm which send the orb it was controlling flying towards the planet's surface.
"Shit!" Yamcha growled immediately lifting his arm back up and so too the orb in order to avoid hurting anyone below but it was enough of a distraction for Salt to attack.
Seeing that Yamcha had to control the orbs with his hand's movements the red skinned man knew he wouldn't be able to block or risk losing control of his own attacks he smiled wickedly as his fist was embedded into Yamcha stomach and the earthling winced in pain. Not giving up his edge and now in close quarters the man continued to attack sending a multitude of strikes into the ex-bandit's guts before dodgeing out of the way of one of Yamcha in coming orb's which crashed against it's creator sending Yamcha tumbling towards the ground.
"Ha! I knew he would try to hit me what a fool hitting himself with his own attack" Salt giggled wickedly.
Yamcha suddenly stopped in mid-air just before he hit the ground and smiled up at Salt.
"Got ya!" The Ex-bandit yelled as he swiftly moved his hands.
The two orbs crashed against the front and back of Salt causing the Maykan to grunt in pain he had fell right into Yamcha's trap as the two orbs kept constantly moving backwards and forwards hitting the man.
CRACK!
A powerful boot connected against the back of Yamcha's head sending him tumbling into a heap in the ground the lose of concentration caused both of his attacks to disperse instantly.
"I see you need a little help squirt!" A deep voice rumbled though the air. "And with a puny human two how pathetic!"
"I didn't need your help Mustard! i had it handled" Salt cried back to his comrade.
Yamcha lifted his head up of the ground his vision blurred with a long line of red running down his left side caused by the blood gushing down his head and down his left side. He looked up to see the monstrous humanoid frog faced figure stare at him a few feet away an amused smile on his face.
"Really? Looked to me as if he had you beat! I bet he would have killed you if i didn't come" Mustard chuckled.
"I was fine i don't need your help" Salt yelled back but was merely waved off by a flick of Mustards hand.
Yamcha swaying slightly from the injury he received from Mustards sneak attack got back on to his feet slightly he got into his stance ready to fight determind to fight off his two attackers.
"Just stay back and watch you might learn something" Mustard cackled as he charged forward.
Crack!
Yamcha caught the punch with an outstretched left hand his whole left arm vibrated and ached from the force of the impact as he was forced to take a step back due to the force of the blow.
Mustard grin widened as he quickly lashed out and grabbed the ex-bandit by his wrist before lifting him up and smashing him down on the ground like a rag doll. He continued to this laughing manically creating a creator where Yamcha's body continued to hit the tiled floor.
"You see Salt! This is as easy as taking candy from a baby" The massive humanoid laughed before releasing his grip on Yamcha's wrist and kicking him across the lookout.
Pain was pulsating from Yamcha's body his blows crunched from every single blow, hot red blood ran down his face and arms as he groaned in pain as Mustard continued to boot him on the floor.
"Damit" He growled to himself. "I can't lose, I can't be the one that is useless!"
Crunch!
"Gaaahhhh"
Mustard booted Yamcha in the stomach with just devastating force that blood projected from his mouth.
The ex-bandit had only two choices to stay on the floor and take his beating and wait for help to arrive or to get up and fight. He wanted nothing more than to crawl up into a ball and sleep.
"no!" Yamcha scolded himself because he thought about giving up this was always his problem he always gave up! He would never carry on the fight like Goku. When ever he found an opponent he could not beat he would stop trying accept his fate. He wasn't like Goku he would always find away to get one over his oppoment a fighting genius. Not like Tien disciplined with a warriors sprite who would never stop seeking to improve himself. Not like Krillin who would overcome his fears to protect those he loved and tapped into Human's hidden potential. No he was Yamcha! Useless pathetic Yamcha that never got out of the first sixteen in the world martial arts tournament! He was Yamcha that was first one to be defeated by the Sayian's and lose his life! He was Yamcha who had never beat a true threat! He was Yamcha who lost his dream girl to an alien King! Well not anymore! He would be Yamcha who would fight no matter what the odds!
With a roar Yamcha grabbed an incoming kick with both of his arms wrapping the appendage tightly.
Mustard laughed amused shacking his foot casually as if he was trying to get rid of something nasty he had stepped in.
"Don't get cocky" Yamcha grunted twisting his body and booting Mustard's knee cap of his standing leg. Knocking the mysterious man off balance it was the opportunity he was waiting for.
"Wolf fang fist!" The ex-bandit roared as he attacked sending a barrage of punches and kicks into Mustards stomach before double palming the man away.
Smash!
Salt's foot connected into Yamcha's face sending the warrior skidding over the lookout before stopping in a heap at the very edge the red skin man was chuckling as he turned to his fallen ally.
"It looked like you could have done with a bit of help Mustard!" Salt snicked.
"I don't need your help worm" Mustard roared getting back onto his feet and rubbing away the blood running away from lip with his forearm. "I just wanted to see what he could do is all!"
"No way he got the better of you and you know it, If i hadn't of interfered you would have been in trouble!"
"Shut up worm! You know nothing i was toying with the ant he is nothing compared to my strength!"
Crash!
Crunch!
While the two Maykan's where busy argue amongst themselves Yamcha used the opportunity and momentary distractions to strike. His white aura surrounding him he first charged Salt smashing his elbow down on the red skinned man's head knocking him to the ground before twisting in Mid-air and booting Mustard in the face.
His two foe's on the floor the Ex-Bandit knew he would have to pick a target for one last attack. If only he could take one of them out he would of helped he would have contributed and who better than the strongest of the two. Bending his knee's and drawing both hand's to his sides he began to channel his energy into the plm of his hands.
"Ka-ma-ha-ma-ha!"
Throwing his hand's forward the ex-bandit's released the signature attack of the turtle hermit. Mustard got to his feet just in time to throw his hand's forward to catch the attack.
"Arrrhhhhh!" Mustard growled in pain as he dug his feet deep into the tiled lookout. His palms ached in pain as they where burnt by the power of the attack his arms began to shake due to it's seer power.
Crack!
Salt's foot connected against the side of Yamcha's knee snapping the bone in a sickening crunch. But the scar face bandit continued his attack on Mustard regardless of the pain he was in his single focus was on beating the huge monster in front of him.
"Grraaahhhhh!" Yamcha cried in agony as Salt double kicked him at his back sending him crushing down to the ground. The Kamahamaha attack was distinguished he had failed. His body ached his energy was running out and now both of his foes surrounded him like vultures. He had nothing left! Well he could try one thing.
Yamcha had seen both Goku, Piccolo and Tien use the Kao-ken technique and push it past the limits that King Kia had said where not possible and though he was sure he had not mastered it he was sure he could do it! The others had why not him. Channelling his energy from within himself the ex-bandit gave out one final battle cry as he yelled.
"Kao-ken!"
The red aura engulfed Yamcha as he lay on the floor the force of which sent Mustard and Salt step backwards in fear of the pure power he was radiating. But the Warrior of Earth didn't get back to his feet like Goku would of. He didn't spin on the floor and shoot a Ki blast like Krillin. He didn't appear from behind and strike them down like Tien. Instead he continued to lay motionless on the ground screaming in pain as his own uncontrolled energy began to rip his body apart.
"What a fool" Salt laughed realising what was going on as he looked down on Yamcha who was still screaming in pain. "He wasn't taking enough of a beating from us so instead he's destroying himself! How pathetic he can't control his own power!"
"I'm surprised you needed my help!" Mustard smirked.
As suddenly as it appeared Yamcha's energy evaporated as he fell unconscious as this happen Mustard lifted the limp body up by the scruff of the neck.
"Time to take out the trash!" he muttered before tossing Yamcha off the Lookout.
~DBAT~
Thud! Crash!
The mountain side rumbled as the three Sayian warrior's continued their spar trading blows at super sonic speed before they all suddenly flew apart staring each other down.
Bardock the most injured of the group was covered in sweat blood pouring from his lip, his body littered with bruises but he wore a small smile upon his face he had missed the excitement of battle after his long day in hell. He had been tortured for everyday reliving the nightmares of his past misdeeds and the constant verbal assault from Toolo. The Kannasan warrior had been very quite since the Sayian had returned to the living plain retreating back into Bardock's self consciousness.
Vegeta tall his chest stuck out with pride half his armour was cracked from battle. he didn't have as many injuries as Bardock but he was still breathing heavily due to combat. He had originally been fighting both Bardock and Goku indiscriminately but as the spar commenced he spent less time focused on Bardock and more on his son even attacking Goku in-combination with the other Sayain. It wasn't the fact he needed or wanted the other Sayain's help the prince had constantly told himself. It was a tactical choice to use the majority of his energy to take out Goku first and then take out Bardock. In fact to the prince his old subordinate was merely getting in his way.
Goku stood between the two of them smiling completely unharmed without breaking a sweat. The Sayian had gotten bored with his constant spars with Vegeta though the Sayain prince was quite skilled in battle the difference in power was so vast that even fighting in base was not a real challenge. Having Bardock was refreshing even if his power was tiny compared to Vegeta having to keep an eye on another foe and restrain himself from killing Bardock was a challenge all to himself.
Suddenly Goku's eyes darted to the sky as he saw two small figures approaching the battle field.
Bam!
Vegeta instantly took advantage of Goku's momentary lose of concentration and closed the distance instantly delivering a powerful hook into the taller Sayain's jaw. The blow knocked Goku on his arse.
"Hay no fair Vegeta i was distracted that was a cheap shot!" Goku murmured rubbing his chin.
"Don't make such a childish excuse! A true Sayian warrior never lets his guard down you have much to learn in the art of battle" Vegeta sneered crossing his arms and looking up to see what had distracted Goku. "Oh great it's the Namek brat and the toy doll what do they want? Make it quick Kakarott we are not done here!"
With a sneer Vegeta went and sat on a rock watching the scene in silence. Bardock noticing the Namek Dende gave a curt nod which was ignored by the young boy who's sole attention was focused on Goku.
"Goku i'm so glad i found you!" Dende exclaimed a bit calmer now that he knew help was already heading to the lookout.
"Hay Dende! What's up you come to train with us?" Goku said happily looking at the small green alien. "Hay Chioutzu where's Tien? It's not like you two to be apart?"
"No not today Goku" Dende said shyly uncomfortable with the idea of training with the Sayian he was pretty sure the experience would kill him. "I'm here to get your help the Lookout is under attack!"
"Hphm" Vegeta murmured in annoyance. "If it's help you are after why are you going to Kakarott? Surely you must relies that I Vegeta am the greatest warrior on this planet any threat is nothing compared to my might!"
"Oh calm down Vegeta i'll make sure you get a turn" Goku smiled happily getting up to his feet in excitement. " So who is this guy? Is he strong? Is it Friezia"
"Huh! If it was Friezia he would already be here battling you" Vegeta snarled clenching his fist at the thought of the tyrant. "Well what is it boy spit it out!"
"W-well ac-actually it's someone you already fought Goku!" Dende said nervously feeling pressured by Vegeta's glare.
"Oh really?" Goku said stroking his chin thoughtfully "Who is it?"
"He's a man named Garlic Junior a wicked cruel man" Dende said with a shiver still remembering Moori's body toppling over the side of the lookout.
"Garlic Junior?" Goku said thinking to himself for a miniute. "Oh i remember him, he was the one that captured Gohan and then wished for immortality on the Dragonballs!"
"Oh really how many times has your boy been captured Kakarott?"
"A few time's" Goku admitted sheepishly before continuing. "But i don't know why you need my help!?"
"What do you mean?" Dende asked in confusion.
"Well last time i thought Garlic was years ago way before even Raditz arrived!" Goku said calmly.
"What Raditz! Your brother? If you faced this foe who couldn't even face Raditz what is everyone worried about? surely one of weakling Earthlings could take care of that!" Vegeta scoffed.
"Don't you dare insult my son!" Bardock snapped speaking for the first time glaring at Vegeta with malice. "Don't forget his younger brother has achieved the power we have been waiting to see for a thousand years, Something that your so called superior royal blood couldn't obtain! You still refer to Kakarott as a third class warrior! The only third class runt i see is you!"
"How dare you" Vegeta growled raising to his feet and lifted a palm up towards the scared faced Bardock, Charging a red glowing ball shading the area in it's red hue. "Have you no respect?! Have you forgotten your place?! You are just a subordinate their to do as i say! For my entertainment i should wipe you out where you stand!"
Bardock clenched his fist and narrowed his eyes as his white aura burst around him.
"Bring it on.. My King" Bardock growled.
"Whoo whoo whoo calm down guys!" Goku said laughing as he stepped between the two fighters. "Vegeta i'm sure he didn't mean to insult you and you" Goku tuned to face Bardock. "Vegeta didn't say that Raditz was weak he just said that the others should be able to handle it which is true." Goku then turned to Dende. "Did you tell anyone else about this on your way here?"
"Well yes" Dende replied having moved a safe distance away from the arguing Sayian's. "I stop by Master Roshi's house and he ,Tien, Yamcha, Krillin and Gohan are already headed their might already be their by now."
"Well their you go they can sort it out it will be fine" Goku said with a smile.
"Wait what!" Dende stammered.
"What do you mean Goku?" Chioutzu chimed in surprised.
"Well it's like Vegeta said this guy can't even compete with Raditz i'm probably a hundred times stronger than him now. Fighting him wouldn't be fun" Goku said simple.
"Fun?! But Goku he's a threat to the planet!" Dende stammered back dumbstruck.
"Yeah but you said the others have already left to sort it out and they are all way stronger now they will be fine. Besides if it get's super serious i'm sure Piccolo will step in he's connected to Kami!"
"So your not going to help?" Chiotzu was in utter shock he never thought Goku would turn his back when the world was in danger.
"Well they don't need my help " Goku replied simply. "To be honest i think it would be quite boring to rush in even without Super Sayian i think i would beat him with ease theirs no point the other's can handle it"
"B-but But Goku" Dende stammered. "What if they can't do it?"
"Oh come on now Brat!" Vegeta snapped in annoyance. "Clearly Kakarot dose not want to waste time on fighting a washed up weakling! When he could be fighting the likes of me!"
"Actually i was thinking you should go Vegeta" Goku jumped in as the Prince of Sayian's glared at him. "It would be good for you give you some training"
"What!" Vegeta roared in annoyance. "Is that a type of joke? You want me to fight someone you deem not worthy of your time? Someone weaker than Raditz when you last thought him!"
"Hay it was just a thought Vegeta no need to shout" Goku said rubbing his ears. "Garlic Junior is immortal like you i thought it would be interesting."
"Well your wrong" Vegeta snarled turning his back on Goku and crossing his arms. "I will only fight someone who is truely worthy of my time and my strength"
"So none of you are coming!" Chioutzu asked looking at the group of Sayian warriors.
Bardock that had remained silent after he had spoken out to Vegeta had been having an internal dialogue to himself.
"This could be the perfect opportunity for me to gain the guardian's of Earth's trust. Kakarott told me earlier when i asked if we could bring back Raditz and my old crew that he had asked Kami in the past to bring back his brother. But he refused because he was a threat. He had a hard enough time of bringing me back alive yet alone the other's, he even threatened to destroy the Dragonball's himself if anyone even attempted such a thing... If i help now maybe i can gain his trust and get him to go back on his word.."
"I see hell has not changed you! Your still as selfish as always Bardock!" Toolo's voice spat in disgust inside Bardock's mind causing the Sayian to grimace in annoyance.
"Toolo? Your still around you fish face bastard!" Bardock inwardly snarled.
"Of course you didn't think i would go away that easy did you? I might not be able to manifest a body in this form but i am still here and i have been watching! I was disappointed when you where brought back to life i wanted to watch you to suffer for all eternity, but when you were blessed with re-birth i thought that maybe you would take the opportunity to change? I thought seeing what you and the monsters you call friend's and family did to all them innocent people would show you your flaws! But no first thing you do is fight these two ape's in a sparing match and now your hoping to manipulate the guardian of this planet to bring back some evil twisted villian's? All to satisfy your selfish needs could you not have just gone to protect these people on the planet? To go because it's the right thing to do? Even your son who seems better than most of your race is not going to protect the planet because he think the fight might be boring!"
"Will you shut up!" Bardock snarled back in anger. "Listen this is my body you are living in! My mind you are disturbing! What i decide to do with my life is none of your concern! If i wanted to kill another hundred races and their is nothing you can do to stop me!"
Boom!
Suddenly a thousand images burst into Bardock's mind's hundreds of possibilities so quick and distorted flew by his eyes so quickly he couldn't make sense of any of them. It hurt it felt as if his brain was going to burst from his skull the Sayian feel to his knees as he screamed out in pain. Goku was just a blur as his youngest son raced to his side.
"Can't stop you hay!" Toolo chuckled "I think your wrong about that! My presence has only grown stronger since we passed into the otherworld are souls are more interlinked! Than ever before in fact i feel like i can control your body!"
To demonstrate his point suddenly Bardock punched himself full pelt in the face causing the others to look on in confusion even Vegeta was a bit miffed. Bardock fist was raised yet again as to struck himself but stopped in mid-air as the Sayian re-took control.
"Nooo don't you dare think you can control my body!" Bardock snarled as yet more vision's filled his mind but he was prepared now and gritted his teeth in pain.
"Yes i do you fool! You might be strong world but your Sayian mind is not in comparison to mine! It is weak pathetic what Visions you are seeing now is but a small portion of what i see! I am forever seeing hundreds of possibilities every second of the day. You have no idea of my power!" Toolo roared
"If you are so powerful how come's we defeated you so easily" Bardock snarled sitting up regaining control of his body as he sat up but he was still not aware of his surroundings.
"You dare make fun of our races strength!"
"Shut up" Bardock roared standing up causing the others to step back as his white aura burst around him. "You want to hear it! I'm sorry for killing the children and the women! But i am not sorry for killing you Toolo! You are pathetic the bane of my existence i don't regret killing you and if i could do it again i would do it a thousand times!"
The Sayain dropped to one knee as he laughed manically a darkness had taken over his eyes.
"Come on where is your strength! Take over my body now come on beat me beat me!"
Smack!
Goku smacked the back of his fathers neck with a quick chop a look of utter concern on his face as Bardock's now unconscious body feel limp to the floor. Goku's eyes where wide in fear.
"Your father is mad Kakarott" Vegeta muttered his expression calm but his twitching eye brow gave away his disturbance over what had just happened.
"What do i do Vegeta? Dende can you help?" Goku had a genuine worried expression on his face as he spoke his Grandfather had always told him to stay away from men who screamed at themselves for they where truly mad.
"I can't Goku I'm sorry but my magic only work's on physical wounds not mental!" Dende said quitely looking away from Bardock in fear.
"If i where you i would take him to the women! And see what she says. She's smart maybe she will be able to help him. I have never seen a Sayain act like this must be his weak blood line! Sparring is cancelled today i can tell your distracted and beating you like this wouldn't prove anything to me. I will beat you at your best."
With that Vegeta took off into the sky leaving the others in his wake as he flew off. He didn't see Goku smiling up at him.
"Thank's Vegeta" Goku thought inwardly. "Though you don't say it openly you do truly care for others don't you?"
~DBZ~
Thud!
Yamcha's broken and unconscious body was caught in Tien's strong arms as the three eyed man, Krillin, Gohan and Master Roshi reached the lookout. Flying down on to the white tile surface the tall human carefully placed his fallen ally on the ground before stepping over him glaring at the two Makyan's in rage.
"Well would you look at that Salt some of his little friends saved him just before he could hit the ground how sweet pity their all gonna die!" Mustard snickered " These Earthlings are so weak this should be fun!"
"Hay Gohan could you take Yamcha down to Korin's to get the senzu bean's please!" Tien asked the young boy turning his head to speak though his third eye never drew away from the two demon's in front of him.
"Yeah sure but shouldn't someone else do it i can help fight?" Gohan asked confused.
Tien smiled down at the boy placing one hand on the boy's head and ruffling his hair.
"I know you Sayian's are strong and you can probably beat these guy's by yourself. But if anything over the past year has taught us especially when Krillin fought Turnip is that us Earthling's can't rely on you Sayian's to jump into battle all the time! We have to be able to protect Earth without you! Besides this idiot has just said all Earthing's are weak and i am going to probe them wrong"
Mustard let out a hearty laugh as he placed his hands on his hip's.
"Are you hearing this Salt they think three baldys and a kid is enough to beat us!" The toad face man cackled.
But his ally didn't laugh his eyes where transfixed on Gohan who was currently lifting Yamcha's body into his arms.
"Hay isn't that Goku's kid?" Salt asked Pointing at the young boy. "Isn't he really strong should we get the others?"
"Are you scared Salt? DON'T BE SUCH A COWARD!" Mustard roared diving forward heading straight towards Gohan.
Crack!
Tien intersected the Demon in an instant booting the Maykan straight in the jaw knocking him backwards. Mustard jumped back and rubbed the blood from his lips.
"Don't get cocky just because you got a cheap shot"
Boom!
Not bothering to reply or talk any more Tien closed the gap between him and his foe and smashed a powerful right uppercut right into Mustards rib cage. Breaking one rib instantly and causing Blood to splatter out of his mouth.
"Destructo Disk!" Krillin roared.
Tien's head turned just in time to see Salt who had been trying to attack him from the side being sliced in half by the ex-monk's signature attack.
"Salt! You Barstards!" Mustard roared in anger swinging two fist at Tien at the same time both of which where caught in the three eye man's strong grip.
A dark purple aura burst around the Maykan as his muscles bulked up as he tried to other power his foe.
"Four Witches" Tien roared as two arms ripped out of his back and started to pound away on Mustards body.
The Maykan's eyes widened in fear as his body ached in pain. He tried to pull his hand's out of Tien's iron grip but he couldn't he was trapped his anger and cockiness had lead him to fall into Tien's hands.
Moving his two free hand's together his fingers forming the shape of a triangle the three eyed man unleashed his most devastating Technique.
"Tri beam cannon" He roared.
Hello everyone sorry for the delay with this chapter had some trouble with my laptop so havent been able to write for a while but i hope it was worth the wait next chapter should see the end of the Garlic junior arc. I know it's been short but i wanted to continue with the bulk of the story.
I hope you like what I did with Yamcha i know he ultimately lost his battle but in his defence he was fighting two on one and he was tired from rushing to the battle field being hot headed cost him dearly which will hopefully teach him a lession in the future. As he will know after the fight that if he had been 100% And fought Mustard one on one he would have been able to win. I know people don't want me to give Kao-ken to everyone and i don't intend to do it and i honestly don't think Yamcha would achieve it without a drastic character change. But i do think he would attempt to use it and fail miserable it also gives a chance to show case that the technique is dangerous when not used properly you know actual consequences like King Kia said.
I don't know how people feel about me writing out Goku in this but personally thinking about doing this Arc i felt it would be boring. I would have to i've make Garlic Junior super Sayian level or hold him back someway. So i felt it would be alot better to use this as opportunity to let the others have time to shine. Give the Human's their pride back and let them achive something. Plus it's kinda in character for Goku not to want to fight someone who he thinks is weaker than Raditz plus he has his hands full with Bardock.
Finally i know Krillin and Tien beat Salt and Mustard with ease but they are far stronger than Yamcha and they took their time going to Lookout so it only made sense to me that they would win. Especially Tien he seems more like Future Trunks where he would finish his foe quickly and not give them a chance to fight back.
Now for the Q and A.
Q: First of all for the chapter
It was good, and I didn't really expect an immortal Vegeta, however zenkais being ineffective for him, while exhaustion still being a factor means his growth curve would be considerably slowed down as opposed to Canon I think. Also I'm sure frieza is gonna come back soon and he'll be wrecked like anything this time around
Also chi chi left Goku... I know it's hard for her, but damn she should try to be less of a bitch and hear his perspective too, yes it's shocking but simply jumping to a conclusion without even knowing any facts is stupid... I hope they reconcile soon, otherwise she'll make Gohan into a weakling instead of the second strongest/tied for strongest being at end of Z
Also Goku is mad, it isn't often he gets mad, God knows what kind of power will be brought out in his wake
Now to the power levels
I don't have any qualms with the system you're using, but tell me one thing
Goku was 10 million in base and 230 million as ssj
At the end of this chapter it was said that Vegeta was 15 million, and Goku base was higher than Vegeta, say 16 million, so how will his ssj power scale up? Will it be a x23 increase like 10 to 230, so 16 to 368? Or his ssj would increase by 6 million to 236, or his ssj remains at still the original value of 230 million unless he trains his ssj form to get better control? Also if his ssj remains at 230, then say if he uses a x20 kaioken in base, won't he be way stronger than as ssj? How will you address that considering he feels kaioken is easier form him now also?
Update soon
A: Firstly thank you very much for writing a review i always appreciate it when people take the time to comment on my story it keeps me motivated :) Yeah you got it completely right i should be a lot harder for Vegeta to gain power and mild spoiler but that is one of the reasons why he can't beat the future andriods but could live.
About Chi-chi yeah it sucks man that they broke up but while writing i kept thinking how would Chi-Chi react if she heard Goku Killed Gohan and could it really be swept under the carpet and did i want that fact looming over the story all the time with people thinking what if she found out? I cant say if they will get back together or not but either way i am sure both will be happy in the end. Dont worry about Gohan becoming a weakling in fact i feel like it draws him closer to Goku and training because that is the main thing he dose with his dad now.
In regards to power level scaling i think my example confused you as i wasn't clear. The initial transformation drew out power that Goku wouldn't normally have access too and surpassed strength that he wouldn't have even fathom or dream to reach. But after his first transformation he was able to reach a higher power level in his base before he had to resort grew stronger. So his max base grew stronger. What i want to make clear is that his max base and max super sayian arn't attached to eachother their is no set multiple his max base could be 20 million and his super sayian could be 300 million or it could be a base max of 100 million and a super sayian of 200 million. Every transformation is unique to the Sayian their is only a max power in base and a max in super sayian. And what i was trying to get across in my example is that if a Sayian stayed transformed for an extended period of time the power that they would be used to having in their body would be so easy to obtain they could stay in their base alot longer.
As for the Kao-Ken yes in theory you are right if that was the exact scale then Kao ken would be better in terms of power but it is more dangerous you have to concentrate on it if your not careful it will destroy your body. So super Sayian is alot safer and dose produce alot of power.
Q:I guess I see why Gohan will be strong, it will be his way of bonding with Goku and spending time
Also Vegeta will be falling even further behind Goku seeing as no zenkais
Though one thing, you mean that regardless of how powerful Goku becomes in base, his ssj will remain at the same level? That doesn't make much sense
Also you said training ssj will increase base power, which I don't think is right, I think his full ssj power will be increased if he trains as ssj(which I guess he needs to against piccolo)
Logic being that, Vegeta was thrashed by 18 as a ssj, then after time chamber, as ssj could hold his own against semi perfect cell who was more than twice as powerful as 18, and when he used Super vegeta(ascended ssj I guess, not ssj2) he owned semi perfect, this means his normal ssj was more than 2-3 times as compared to before going to HTC, and as super Vegeta, he was even stronger
And Goku as a full power ssj (mastered ssj) at only half his power completely awesome Vegeta and trunks(stronger than Vegeta) meaning he was at least 2-3 times more powerful than trunks even
So I think his full power will increase training as ssj
Update soon
A: Hay thank you for the review. As for the super sayian remaining the same like i said in the above review anwser that was just an example and i'm sorry for the confusion i find it hard sometime to say my thoughts. I completely agree with what your saying with the time chamber and the incress in strength in super Sayian. All i am saying is that it is possible with time and trainning for a Sayian to access all their power of the Super Sayian forms after years of training and prolong expose to the form. I hope that clears things up if it's still confusing let me know and ill try to explain better.
Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter.
