Chapter 29: The Gears Of War

Piccolo's eyes were opened wide with shook as he watched his own masenko attack charging back towards him. The Powerful Namekian had thought he had figured out his cyborg rival's plan truly believing that he was going to self-detonate … not this.

Cacao the Ikonda warrior still had the blue electicical field that he had produced crackling around him as his red eyes began to glow brightly signalling that his computerized brain was scanning the situation before him.

Final Defence Protocol : 1DX has successfully re-deflected targets attack back on to himself while also increasing the blasts movement speed by around sixty-five per cent…

Sensors indicate that attack is now too fast to be dodged completely and is currently thirty per cent stronger than foes current power level.

Prediction: Attack will severally harm opponent reducing his power level by sixty to seventy per cent of where it currently stands. A follow up attack is required if victory is to be assured.

The blue electricity that was flowing around the Ikonda suddenly stopped crackling around his body randomly around the cyborg warriors body and instead began to flow out in front of Cacao's metal body. Flowing into a single point where it began to form a concentrated blue ball of pure destructive energy.

Down below with the Masenko attack still bearing down on him Piccolo saw that his foe had begun gathering energy for his next attack and with the amount of energy that was being gathered the Namek could tell it was a move that was intended to finish him.

"Oh no you don't!" Piccolo growled though his teeth as his concentration shifted back to his own Masenko attack moved closer and closer to him. "You may have a few tricks up your sleeve but your not the only one with hand yet to play….. Kao-Ken times three!"

Time seemed to slow down for Piccolo as the dark crimson aura more intense than it had ever been before surrounded the Namek pushing his power higher than it had ever manage to reach before . However Piccolo didn't stop to marvel at his own strength even though the large Masenko beam seemed to be edging towards him in slow motion now. The Namek was a proud warrior and a warrior never dropped his guard for a second as such the giant Green man from earth quickly carried out his plan.

Placing two fingers on his forehead Piccolo began to gather concentrated energy to the very tips of his nail's in preparation for his most powerful attack.

In a flash orange electrical energy cracked around Piccolo's outstretched fingers as the Namek finial allowed a small smirk to escape across his face.

Warning! Foe's power level has increased by sixty per cent; Fight is now unwinnable. Only possible action now is to retreat back and regroup with Master Turles.

Cacao's computerized brain produced this warning too little to late however as Piccolo quickly thrustied his fingers forward up into the air as he yelled triumphantly….

"Special Beam Cannon!"

The purple beam of energy surrounded by an orange vortex of energy shot out of Piccolo's fingers before it pierced right though the oncoming Masenko beam causing it to explode into mini tiny energy ball's that scattered across the sky before they fell to Earth causeing destruction and creators when they finally hit the floor.

The Special Beam Cannon was however unaffected by the explosion and carried on its assent up toward's Cacao's unsuspecting body which didn't have a chance to move out of it's way.

A crush of metal echoed as the beam connected against the cyborgs stomach and pierced though up In a diagonal line before it exited out from where the metal skinned creatures spine should have beam.

Oil began to flow out of the hole's created by Piccolo's attack as the beam finial faded away. Cacao's own attack that had been prepared to finish his opponent faded into nothing as the cyborg reabsorbed it into himself in order to conserve as much energy as possible into his already depleting life support system.

A rush of wind brushed against the Ikonda's face and as the pink skinned metal plated warrior looked up his eye lens was greeted with the view of Piccolo looking at him. The Namekian's arms were crossed lazily over his chest as his aura took on a relaxed purple tone.

"If I were you right now I would be running" Piccolo said lazily before smiling to reveal his fangs.

Seeing the escape route and the chance of survival that had been handed to him Cacao fuelled as much energy of what he could possible spare into getting out of the area as quickly as he possible could.

"Three… Two …One" Piccolo muttered to himself before looking up directly at where the Ikonda had made it to and fired two beams of energy from his eyes.

The two beams struck the cyborg directly in the back of his head pricing though until they connected against the half of his brain that was completely computerized. It exploded upon impact leaving just an oil leaking headless metallic body to fall to the peaceful Namakian sea with a sad little plop.

"Grrr.." Piccolo cried as he regenerated his lost ears as he turned to focus on Gohan's battle.

The Namekian had finished his opponent just in time to see the young Demi-Sayian preparing to fire his father's signature attack.

"Hmm" Piccolo murmured before crossing his legs and flouting in a meditative pose. "This is Gohan's fight I won't interfere unless absolutely necessary"

~DBAT~

"Man this is going to sting" The giant moaned before throwing his hands forward and catching the blue beam of oncoming energy.

Gohan's Kamahamaha attack pushed Racoome backwards over the Namekian's blue ocean, however the red haired giant did not remove his hands from the destructive beams path despite the fact black smoke had begun to bellow out from his outstretched fingers.

"Ha!" Gohan roared in frustration forcing another pulse of energy out though his wave attack before it faded out of sight.

Racoome's hands were burnt and black with soot but this fact didn't seem to deter the giant who simply showed another smile at the small boy as brushed his hands together in attempt to get rid of the soot.

"Wow that was not bad kid not bad at all. You pack one hell of a punch their when your angry I tell ya" Racoome's face suddenly change from a cocky smile to a more sadistic one. "Let me show you how much of a punch I can produce when I'm angry"

A large white aura burst around Racoome before the giant faded out of sight before reappearing in front of Gohan smashing a Ki fuelled fist into the young boys stomach.

"Play time is over" Racoome roared before throwing his foot up connecting it against Gohan's chin sending the Demi-Sayian rocketing into the air. "This is the end boy! Ereser gun"

The giant opened his mouth and fired a golden beam of energy up into the sky towards Gohan who was bleeding heavily though his nose with his eyes tightly closed.

Smash! The beam flew off course to the left away from Gohan and into a mountain range which blew up upon impact. Flouting his left arm still outstretched was Piccolo. The Namekian's aura was blazing crimson red as the angry Namek eyed Racoome angrily.

"Hay that's not fair you can't interfere in our fight !" Racoome cried out indigently.

Piccolo did not respond to the giants taught however he did not take his eyes off the red haired man even when he casually throw out his right hand to grip Gohan by the collar as the Demi-Sayian fell down beside him.

Feeling the strong and familiar grip of security round his neck Gohan slowly opened his eyes before looking up and smiling at his mentor.

"Hay thanks Piccolo you saved me" The Demi-Sayian said with a bright smile.

"Do not give me that!" Piccolo growled releasing his grip of Gohan's collar in order to allow his student to flout on his own power. "You were not as hurt as you allowed yourself to believe you could have easily dodged that attack without my aid. In fact you shouldn't have been in this situation in the first place your fight should have been over by now"

Gohan was taken aback by his mentors harsh words and his smile quickly turned into a frown as he tried to hold back tears.

"But.. I was trying" Gohan replied weakly.

That brought Piccolo's gaze and it was terrible full of angrier spite.

"No you haven't!" The Namkian roared clearly losing his temper. "I can sense your energy Gohan you have been holding back this whole time! What do you think this is a spar? This is a battle kid a fight for life and death your opponent is not going to stop just because he's hurt you. He will take every advantage he can get and when he is done with you he will move on and mow down all those around you. Is that what you want?! If you can't understand the importance of what I am telling you then you have no use on the battle field you will become more of a hindrance than a help. You understand me!"

Gohan gulped "Y-yes s-sir"

"Good now go down there and use your full power right now or else I'll finish it for you and then ill make you pay you understand"

Gohan nodded sadly before flouting down away from his mentor.

Piccolo sighed before returning back into his meditative pose. The Namekian hadn't wanted to upset his student or for that matter yell at him. But he also knew it was important that he did as he knew that one day the boy's lack of killer instinct and the reluctance to use his full power would eventually lead to his death someday. A fate that would have occurred just a few moments before had Piccolo not been able to step in and stop it.

"Oh Gohan" Piccolo mentally thought to himself. "One of these days you are going to be stronger than me and your father and the world will look to you as their hero… I just hope that I can make you ready in time for that because if you're not it could mean the end of us all"

The Demi-Sayian flew down to face Recoome the latter of whom was smiling wickedly at the small boy in front of him.

"Get into a little trouble did we? Boo-who poor little you don't worry I'll put you out of your misery soon enough" The Giant cackled before rushing forward.

Gohan reacted immediately throwing his hands up to the sky the small boy cried out as a white powerful aura shot out from within his small frame. The force of which crashed into Racoome knocking the huge man mountain backwards though the air.

Steadying himself from falling back further the red headed mercenary raised his arms to block the wind from knocking him back further a wide smile was upon the huge mans face as he took in the impressive display before him.

"Play time is over eh? Guess that means I need to bring my a game" Racoome cried before bringing his elbows to his hips and unleashing his own powerful aura from within himself.

David and Goliath stared each other down for a few moments sizing the each other up before they began their combat. Rushing forward simultaneously the two fighters right fists connected together sending shockwaves and cracks in the earth scattering across the planets surface.

They broke apart in unison and threw kicks which again ended in stalemate with neither being able to break though with seer power. These attacks continued for several blows crossing several feet with only a few simple moves however all of this lead to nothing.

Were even! Gohan realised as his right elbow connected against Racoome's left knee. I can sense his powers the same as mine. This realisation both comforted and scared Gohan. He was comforted over the fact that he was not completely out matched but it scared the boy at how powerful he had become it was mind boggling to think that after only a few years of training his power grew so much. The fear of his own power crept up on Gohan yet again causing the Demi-Sayian to sub-consciously lower his power level and thus allowing Racoome to gain an advantage.

A kick blocked by Gohan's left forearm knocked the small boy backward causing him to slightly lose his balance. The red haired mercenary sensing this opening immediately rushed forward and kneed Gohan in the stomach keeling the boy over his knee.

The move had completely caught Gohan off guard causing the Demi-Sayian to spit up blood from his mouth and on to Racoomes clean black spandex. The knee was quickly removed but was replaced with a punch to the cheek which sent Gohan flying back though the air.

"What are you doing!? Why are you letting him beat you like this you can win! " a Small voice called out from the back of Gohan's mind.

"But I'm not doing anything!" Came Gohan's weak and whining reply.

"Yes you are your holding back again! Piccolo told you not to hold back. Instead of figuring out how to win this fight your focusing on your fear. Your fear of your own strength!" The small voice yelled back stronger and more forcefully.

"But I don't want to kill him?" Gohan's own now smaller voice replied to the darkness. "I don't want to kill anybody"

"Who said anything about killing? All you have been told to do is win!"

Something clicked inside the back of Gohan's mind at that moment he realised what he had to do. He didn't have to kill or cripple his enemy, All he had to do was beat him and that was something the Demi-Sayian knew he could do.

"Hayyiiyaaa" Racoome roared as he threw his two interlinked hands forward down towards Gohan's small head.

Zip! Gohan swerved upwards under the giants out stretched arms before sending an uppercut deep into the man mountains chest cavity. Racoome felt all the air leave his lungs, Gagging in his desperate attempt to take in another intake of breath.

Gohan was back inside his own mind thinking his brain fine tuning battle tactics in order to gain an advantage much like Piccolo had taught him to do in the heat of their spares. The ability to find an Opponent's weakness and use it against them.

Racoome's weakness laid in his greatest strength his monstrous sized. Though it gave him great strength and reach it also made it hard for the big man to fight opponents close to him a weakness Gohan was more than able to exploit.

Staying close inside the red heads huge arms the small Demi-Sayian sent fast powerful jabs into the beast's stomach and chest before delivering kicks to the ribs and hip section trying to cut Racoome down like a wood cutter would take down a large tree.

This plan would have been successful however if Racoome was not an intergalactic mercenary or if he didn't have experience fighting smaller fighters. However the res haired warrior had both and as such he drew in both his hands pulling Gohan into a strong bear hug.

"Very cleaver fighting in close little man" The giant chuckled as he tightened his grip causing a loud audible crack to sound from the small boys back. "Pity it's exactly where I like to break people in two"

"AHHHAAA" Gohan screamed as the grip grew tighter but that only added the giant in cutting off the small boys air supply as the Demi-Sayians lungs deflated as he yelled out.

"Hush now it will be over soon" Racoome coned mockingly.

"Picc-olo…" Gohan gasped as he opened up to look for his Namek mentor only to see that he had not moved his meditative pose.

Up in the air Piccolo kept in his composer outwardly but inwardly he was battling with himself. Every part of his body begged him to help Gohan to stop the boy pain and finish the giant idiot once and for all. But part of himself held the Namek back he needed to allow the boy to fight for himself, defend himself in a life and death situation such as this. If it came to it Piccolo would interfere before the final blow was dealt. But if the Demi-Sayian was never put in this situation now were his life depended on it in this controlled conditions then he wouldn't have a hope in hell when the situation would be different and no help would be available. It was for this reason why the Namekian stayed motionless and allowed his student to face this final test alone.

"Ahhhaaa" Gohan cried out again as hot wet tears began to fall from his eyes forced out of the small boys body due to the terrible amount of pain that surged though his body.

Their was nothing the small boy could do the situation was hopeless he didn't have the strength to get out of Racoomes death grip and no help was coming. Not now. Piccolo hadn't moved it was obvious to the boy that he was on his own. Gripping his hand in a mixture of frustration and pain Gohan finally realised something.

Though his arms from shoulder to elbow was unable to move due to the grip wrapped around him below his elbow was completely free to move giving Gohan an idea.

"It's along shot but it's all I have" The Demi-Sayian thought to himself before moving his hands together to form a cup before taking one small intake of breath and screaming aloud.

"Masenko-ha"

The orange beam of energy smashed against the giant red heads stomach instantly making him lose his grip and fly back though the air.

Relief rushed though the youngs boys body as the pain finally subsided. But the fight was not over yet not by a long shot.

Raccome twisted out of the beams path and though his body was burnt and scotched by the beam. But the giant fought though the pain and shot forward towards Gohan throwing a right handed punch towards the young Demi-Sayian.

Dodging to the left Gohan jabbed a fist into his red headed foe's cheek causing spit to fly out of Racoomes mouth. Without making the same mistake again by staying to close Gohan quickly flew up into the sky out of the way before Racoome could retaliate.

The Giant turned his head and cracked it before looking up at Gohan and letting out an almighty roar.

"I swear I'm going to end you kid"

Shooting off like a rocket Racoome ascended into the sky his arms out in front of him ready to grab hold of any part of Gohan he could. But the small boy was ready for this tactic and twisted underneath's the red head's out stretched hands before coming up underneath with a powerfully right kick into Racoomes right rib cage.

Crack! The sicken sound echoed as Gohan flew backwards to avoid Racoomes incoming arms but the Demi-Sayian needn't of worried as the giant was to distracted by the excruatating amount of pain erupting from his now broken rib cage.

"How?" Racoome gargled spitting up blood on to his busted armour. "How can you be so powerful it's not natural"

Gohan eyed his opponent and realised he had one the fight. Though Racoome was still standing he was now greatly injured his power level had also dropped to around half of the Demi-Sayian's current strength. If they carried on fighting the giant would I've be crippled or killed in battle. A new bubble of fear began to rise in the young boy's stomach but this time Gohan mastered himself and pushed it back deep inside in order to remain calm. Piccolo had been right being scared had nearly cost Gohan his life and the Demi-Sayian needed to at least try and control it a little bit if he was going to survive the trip to Namek.

"I'm done" Gohan said simply "I don't want to fight you anymore"

"What!?" Racoome roared spitting out blood as well as salivary as he roared. "Your just ending this now ? You can't!"

"I just did" Gohan replied before turning his back on the giant. "Just go"

And with that the Demi-Sayian slowly began to fly away back up towards Piccolo.

"How dare he" Racoome growled withdrawing his hand's from his ribs and instead clenching them into fist. "Embarrass me like this!"

The giant shot off after Gohan as quickly as he could his mouth opened ready to fire his signature attack.

"Eresa-"

Tack. Piccolo appeared in front of Racoome's path his right arm already out stretched with his palm facing outwards. The Namek's eyes were cold and hard as they locked onto the red headed giants own.

"You should have ran" Was all the former demon said before he fired a yellow ball blast of energy at the man mountain engulfing Racoome's body in it's glow.

"Put the Dragonball's down their Burter we have other work to do" Turles yelled while he stood over a neatly dug whole in the ground.

"Right here Sir" Burter asked calmly while placing Frieza's Dragonball's in a nearby cave which he already scouted to make sure there was no live stock or any other entrances leading into it.

"It's master to you and don't you forget it" Turle's snapped before turning to Jeice who was standing to attention several yards away to the left. "Jeice do you have the seed's?"

"Yes, Marster" Jeice spat with a hint of venom before rummaging inside his pocket to produce a little poach. "But don't you think Frieza would be annoyed if you planted the seed's here you know we can only do it if the planets not going to be for sale"

"Nonsense" Turles replied back before appearing in front of the short red alien snatching the seed's for the tree of might faster than Jeice could even register. "The only thing's Frieza cares about on this planet are the Dragonball's as long as their safe he won't care what we do. See this is why I'm the leader of this group and you're the laky "

"Right you are Marster" Jeice said poiltly though inwardly he was screaming as he bowed.

"Dam you , You Sayian prick if the captain was still alive he would have beaten you to death by now with your own body"

It was indeed a said fact that had been bestowed on the leader of the Ginyu force, Captain Ginyu in other universe's he was the trade plant organisations main man. The hired mercenary who all of the frost demon's turned to in order to help their armies out in the most difficult missions.

But in this universe the Captain's story was not a happy one, The southern ruler having heard of the Captain's body switching power grew suspicious and order that he would be executed. As such the former leader of the Ginyu force death sentence was carried out. However there were rumours that the Captain had manage to swap his soul with another just before he was killed and was now lying in wait in another body binding his time for his moment to strike. It was this rumour that many especially his former team members held dear in their heart as they longed for his return.

"Right" Turles yelled as he patted the dirt down were he had planted the Tree of Might seeds lovingly. "Where is Racoome and Cacao? They should have finished playing with those pests by now"

"I'll cheek Marster" Burter replied timidly the tall blue humanoid had grown a true fear of his Sayian leader over the years having been cruelly ridiculed and tortured over the years due to his constant declaration that he was the fastest in the universe.

"Fastest in the universe" Turles voice mocked from inside Burter's head. "If your so fast why couldn't you dodge my attacks then huh?"

"Good make it quick" Turles said with a sly smirk as he watch his minion click the button on his scouter.

"You Barstard" Jeice roared inside his head as outwardly he clenched his fist. "Why can't you just leave him alone, You always torture him about speed when you know dam well Burter watched his people die in front of him and he's only holding on to the fact he's proud his race our naturally quicker than others. Why can't you just leave him alone"

"Problem Jeice" Turles asked as the Sayian noticed the red skinned white haired alien's tense posture and expression.

Taking a gulp of air to calm himself down Jeice let the tension and angrier leave his body before he answered.

"No sir, Nothing's wrong just thinking of all these weaklings on this planet I want to crush"

"Good I'm glad to hear it will get to that soon enough once the tree's fruit is completed also although you are my favourite I can't be seen to give you special treatment. So it's master next time ok"

"Ok Master" Jeice said though gritted teeth.

"You make me sick you creep. You only demanded us to call you Master since your Power level reached four hundred thousand. You think your close to lord Frieza's power well your wrong and as soon as you make your move against him like I know you plan to he will see you for the monkey scum you are and end your existence once and for all"

"The scouter is picking up two power level's but it's wired Master" Burter began sweat pouring off his face.

"What is it speedster?" Turles sneered eyeing the blue man wickedly.

"The power levels are all wrong their much to strong to be I've Recoome's or Cacao's"

"And? What are you suggesting a mere child and a slug were able to defeat two of the most powerful mercenary's this side of the galaxy has to offer? " Turles asked his eyes never moving from his pray.

"No Master" Burter stuttered taking a step back as sweat began to pour from his face.

"Good" Turles replied before turning to face were he planted the seeds of the Tree of might. "Ah the Tree has taken root and it is growing"

The tree of might grow slowly from the Nameks planets soil, the blue grass around It turned black as it died due to all it's life energy being poured into the tree by it's roots.

"There is so much life on this planet this crop of fruit should be he best we have had in along time men" The Sayian said with a sly smile before looking up into the sky.

"First I'll take on Frieza and take over the planet trade organisation then I'm coming for you Vegeta I'll so you just how powerful I have become."

~DBAT~

Goku and his father Bardock were flying towards Gohan's and Piccolo's Ki signiture when they felt it, well Goku felt it since his father could still not sense people energy.

Then young Sayian stopped in mid-air so suddenly that Bardock flew forward several feet in front of him before managing to stop himself. The older Sayian spun round and looked at his son confusion was clear on his scared faced.

"Why have you stopped? I thought we needed to get to you son and that green friend of yours?" Bardocks voice was cool and calm though their was a hint of impatience to it.

"Yeah we do!? But something's wrong; It's like a virus has infected the planet and is draining it's energy into something just wrong and evil." Goku's voice was soft and unusually for him full of concern. "We have to hurry"

"Well yeah I knew that" Bardock said off-handily "But staying here talking is not gonna-"

Whooosse! Before Bardock could finish his sentence an agonizing pain gripped his skull in a grapple hold forcing the Sayian to fall to the ground and his world to go black.

A Sayian who looked exactly like Bardock and Goku stood before a huge Tree that had fruit scatted around on top of it's braches. Bardock's brain immediately recognised the strange Sayian as Turles with his mind immediately clicking in he tree behind him was the Tree of Might.

"Your too late" Turles yelled wildly "The Tree has beard it's fruit all ready and with this harvest I will have the power to take on Frieza let alone you"

The dark skinned Sayian then took a bite of the fruit which cause his muscles to suddenly bulge to twice the size they had normally been before contracting back to their normal sides. However a red-black aura now surrounded the Sayian as he threw his head back and laughed.

"Now welcome your new Marster!"

Flash!

Bardock saw the Namek that he faced on Earth, Piccolo he believed his son had called him lying on the floor with clear liquid seeping from his body from several holes that littered his frame. Lying on top of the Namek's stomach was a small boy which the psychic Sayian instantly recognised as his Grandson Gohan.

But something was wrong with this scene, It was not full of colour like Bardock's visions normally consist off but black and white as this version of the future was not yet set in time.

"Go-han" Piccolo said softly his voice weak "Run, Gohan get out of here now kid"

"No" Gohan cried but even though it should have been loud it wasn't it was ghostly quite. "Don't go Piccolo please don't go!"

"I can't kid I'm hurt too bad" Piccolo crocked weakly "Please Gohan get out of here I don't want you to die you have been the best thing that's happened to me. You showed me the light. Without you I would have stayed the demon that I was. Without you I wouldn't have seen my home planet. Without you I wouldn't have a friend."

The Namek was crying now. Real sparkling tears glistening in the black and white sun.

"Thank you Gohan for being my friend"

And then the Namek just vanished into thin air completely and utterly gone.

The young boy stood up shaking with rage or sadness Bardock didn't know and he wouldn't find out as another flash of light clouded his vision.

This vision was full of colour now as Goku, Bardock's son stood topless cuts and a bruise littering his body a smile was etched across his face. The Tree of might stood menacingly in the background.

"It's over Vegeta it's finished" The young Sayian said with a smile.

Suddenly a beam of energy shot out from nowhere, The vision turned black and white suddenly as the beam pierced though Goku's heart sending black liquid shotting out from the hole in his chest.(Which Bardock knew was blood) As the young Sayian fell lifelessly to the floor.

"Noooo!" Bardock heard himself scream as everything went black.

Standing alone in the darkness for several seconds Bardock saw a white light off in the distance growing closer. The Sayian backed off dropping into a fighting stance as it grew closer but then immediately dropped out of it as he saw who the figure was.

Standing before the Sayian was the reason why he was having his visions the Kanassan that had granted him his abilities to see the future stood before him a sad frown was upon the creatures face.

"Do you now see the hopelessness of seeing one's fate" The Kanassan asked calmly though his angry eyes never left Bardock's. "Can you imagine the fear my people felt when we saw you and your people attack and kill us all days before you arrived? Can you imagine my restraint when I had to stand on the side lines and watch my people die at your hands so that I could survive and grant you the destructor the gift our race holds dear?"

Bardock remained silent as he watched his greatest fear since his mini reform come to life. Facing up to his past actions the people he killed and the evil deeds he committed. The Kanassan smirked now as he eyed the old Sayian who murdered his people.

"What's the matter? Can't speak? Is the guilt starting to get to you? Well good I hope it eats at your soul?"

Bardock took an involuntary step back before standing tall and looking at the man whom he had killed not only him but his race dead in the eye.

"I was wrong I have learned from my past actions and I am truly sorry for the deeds I committed against you and your people" Bardock spoke solemnly bowing his head sadly in defeat.

"You think that's it" The Kanassan chuckled one apology and your soul is cleansed of all it's wrong doings. "You did not just destroy my race in your time you have killed hundreds. You have billions of people blood on your hands and for that I hope you have eternity of torture."

"Listen! Are you just here to mock me or is there a point to this? I have more important things to get to" Bardock roared angrily his Sayian pride taking over.

"Ahh the famous Sayian rage" The Kanassan said calmly never taking his eyes off of Bardocks own. "he thing that defines your blood thirsty race out of everyone else, But you are right time is of the essence as we need to save two of your race you stand out over the others. Your son and his child are really… different I can sense even from the realm were my soul lies the pureness in their heart and I can also sense the potential in their future to do good in the universe It's a pity that It's down to a tyrant like you to decide whether or not this future comes to pass."

"What do you mean it's up to me?" Bardock yelled angrily gritting his teeth.

The Kanassan replied by sadly shaking his head.

"They have a bright future Bardock if they survive, They can create a universe full of peace. Your future just leads to pain and destruction remember that!"

And then without any warning the white figure disappeared and the world turned black again.

"Father" Gohu yelled again as he franticly shook Bardock await. He young Sayian was worried on minute Bardock was calmly flouting in the air the next he had fallen to the ground screaming and shaking.

Bardock eyes snapped open and Goku let out a sigh of relief however the younger Sayian was quickly pushed away as the older jumped on to his feet.

"We have to hurry" Bardock roared as the fimilar orange glow of the Phoenix fire technique flashed around him "Now!"

And with that the Sayian shot off into the air towards the growing figure of the Tree of Might followed closely by his son.

Moori and Dende kept to the shadows as they walked through the mountain range towards were they sensed both Gohan's and Piccolo's Ki. The two Namekians had decided it was best not to fly as it would make them easily detectable and though walking was much slower it was certainly safer.

"Do you think Nail and elder Guru will be ok" Dende asked worriedly as the two took shelter under a cliff face.

Moori looked down on the child whom he had known had seen so much death in such a short space of time and instantly wanted to lie and say everything was ok. But the elder couldn't do that not now. A lie wouldn't do anything but give the child false hope were as the truth may save his life in the future.

"I don't know, All I know is that Guru asked us to gather the Dragonballs and ask for our wishes. It is off vital importance"

Dende sadly shook his head before beginning to walk along behind his elder as the continued their long and dangerous mission to gather the Dragonballs.


And that's all for this chapter guys. I hope you enjoyed and liked it.

As for questions and power levels I will try and answer and give a list if I have enough time to do it. But recently I have found that I have none not even a time to write this story which you all know from the lack of updates. Thank you all for your ongoing support and I hope you like this chapter.
