Hello Everyone are you ready for the next instalment ? Here we go :P

Chapter 43: Certain Death

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH" Gohan roared his brilliant white aura bursting around him as he smashed his left foot directly into Friezia's right temple.

"AAAAAHHHHH" Gohan screamed again but this time it wasn't a scream of anger but in pain it felt to the Sayian as if he had just kicked an unbreakable brick wall.

"Hmmm who do I have here" Friezia snarled the kick that Gohan had delivered to the back of his head feeling nothing more than a pesky fly landing on his skin to the empowered Frost Demon. "A new toy to play with? Oh lucky me!"

Before Gohan could react the Frost Demon grabbed his ankle with his metallic hand digging his metallic nail's into the boy's skin drawing blood as he slowly began to crush the appendage.

"AAAARRRHHHHH" Gohan cried out in agony as he struggled to get his now broken ankle out of the tyrant lords grip. "Let go off me please!"

"Please?" Frieza cooed slowly flouting into the air "Well that is the magic word"

Having flouted one hundred fleet in the air the Frost Demon swung the boy over his shoulder before swinging him towards the ground and releasing the Demi-Sayian's ankle in one fluid motion.

"See I can be merciful" Frieza stated talking to no one in particular hunching his shoulders as if making an admission of guilt.

Gohan now flying face first towards the ground quickly used his energy to slow his descent before summersaulting in mind air so he was facing the Frost Demon tyrant who was still bleeding profusely from his chest. Raising both hands above his head and cupping his hands together the young Demi-Sayian began to channel a yellow ball of energy at the center of his palms.

"Masenko-HA" Gohan roared throwing his hands forward and firing the yellow beam of energy towards his Frost Demon foe aiming directly for the tyrants chest.

"And yet when I show mercy look what happens.. Pest are always ungrateful" Frieza murmured continuing his own monologue as he casual placed his left palm forward to block the beam. "It's lucky that it's my own personal hobby to exterminate them" The tyrant said casually as he caught the beam in his hand and waited for it to slowly fizz away. "Otherwise this would get old rather quickly"

Gohan stared open mouthed as his attack was blocked without any effort the Frost Demon tyrant hadn't ready himself or anything instead having blocked the attack with nothing more than the seer size of his power alone. The beam didn't even move him an inch back.

"No" Gohan was starting to shack in fear the boy suddenly realising just how outclass he was his previous desire to save Piccolo having clouded his judgement and fear. "Fighting him... It's Impossible I can't win... he's on a whole other level... his power it's enormous...I won't even be able to scratch him"

"It's ok boy" Friezia whispered a sadistic twisted smile upon the tyrants face as he flashed in front of the boy. The tyrant then placed his cold metallic right hand on the young boy's head and began ruffling his hair.

Gohan was frightened Friezia had moved so fast even though he could see the tyrant in front of him it still felt as though the Frost Demon was fifty feet away. But that fear was quickly replaced by disgust as the cold metallic hand touched the top of his head and began to play with his hair almost exactly like his mother Chi-chi would have done back on Earth. It took almost all of the Demi-Sayian will power to stop himself from throwing up all over the Frost Demon already blood stained stomach as the Frost Demon's evil presence surrounded him...suffocated him.

"It's ok" Friezia cooed again running his cold metallic right hand down Gohan's cheek catching one of the boy's tears and wiping it away. "It's ok to cry boy most of the bravest warriors thought the universe ten times your age have burst out crying at my feet begging for mercy."

The Frost Demon right hand was now on Gohan's cheek and the tyrant slowly raised the young Demi-Sayian head so the young boy could look at him while the tyrant was examining him.

"You have such a young soft face" Frieza purred not even attempting to hide the sadistic-ness behind his word's "I'm sure you will fetch a healthy price in the slave trade. Who knows a rice old lady may purchases you as a play thing. It would be such a waste of profit to kill you now! But I can't let you go unpunished for striking me! It would send out a bad message to my subordinates and all! But I am nothing but fair beg for mercy now and finish off your friend's and I might consider keeping you alive to sell later"

The Frost Demon throw back his head and cackled madly his metallic right hand cupping Gohan's cheek as the tyrant stork his chin possessively. Tear's continued to trickle down the young boy's face but they were not due to sadness or fear but were now to unrelenting rage.

"Grrrrraaaaaaaahhhhhhaaaaa" With a primal yell and without even thinking his body seemingly to go on auto-pilot the familiar red glow of the Kao-Ken technique simmered around Gohan as the boy gripped the Frost Demon's metallic right hand in his own and crushed it like it was nothing more than tissues paper. Causing sparks to fly as the wiring in the hand began to short circuit. Metal began to crack and break away.

The Frost Demon recognised the red aura immediately and silenced his manic laughter. Before Friezia could focus channel enough Ki energy to protect his mechanical right hand like he would normally would Gohan had manage to crush it.

"Dam it" Friezia cursed himself for allowing himself to be caught of guard so easily but the tyrant was even more annoyed at the boy's power. "Your nothing but a mere child I bet it's only been a few years since you were potty trained how could you possible possess such power!"

Gohan was oblivious to Friezia's words and to the world around him. The Demi- Sayian couldn't even feel the pain of the million cuts that at started to appear all over his body as his very own Ki began to slice him apart. As the uncontrolled Kao-Ken flurry around him. No Gohan white pupil less eyes were locked on to his target his purpose to destroy the monster in front of him.

"Grrraaaaaahhhhhhbhh" Gohan roared throwing his left fist forward.

Crack!

Despite the Demi-Sayian's increases in power and his determination to wipe out the pure evil tyrant that he had come to face. He was still no match For Friezia. The tyrant was caught off guard when the young boy had crushed his robotic right hand but if it had been his natural one the feat would have been impossible for the boy as the natural Ki that flowed though Friezia's body would have prevented it from being crust. However the tyrant had to focus his energy into his robotic hand in order for it to have the same protection and power as his natural one. If he didn't it was nothing more than a piece of highly technological but nevertheless useless metal.

Now alert the Frost Demon watched as the Demi-Sayian throw his left fist forward in almost slow motion towards him.

"Pathetic" Friezia roared. "To think such an expensive device wasted on a weakling like you"

Without thinking the tyrant back handed the boy with his left hand not holding back any of his speed or power.

In not even a micro second the hit connected than Gohan crashed to the ground in a broken heap. The young boy's brain hadn't even registered the hit that was delivered to him his whole body shutting down completely as every ounce of his energy went into surviving the furious attack that had been delivered to him and even then the boy was still clinging on to life.

Tap.

The Frost Demon landed on the ground his feet next to Gohan's broken and battered body the tyrant's eyes were transfixed on the boy. The Lord didn't even flinched as he quickly ripped off the rest of his broken right metallic hand revelling his stumpy wrist for the very first time in years. The Frost Demon quickly tossed the mangled rubbish aside.

"Impressive" Friezia muttered. "I dare say you are most likely stronger than my older brother was at your age. I think with the right training you could surpass him! I must say your the first child from another species that even compares to that of a Frost Demon... That makes you... Interesting. I could use your strength boy. You could be useful in my army. But first I need to kerb that rebellious behaviour of yours. I didn't do that with Vegeata and look were he ended up now."

Friezia chuckled his eyes gazing out to the Planets green sea were the tyrant was sure the Sayian King had met his watery end. Before the tyrants turned to the mangled remains of his metallic hand that he had tossed aside.

"I know" The tyrant muttered a purple disk spinning in his outstretched left hand. "I think I'll give you a reminder what happens when you dare to cross me. That should be enough to quill your rebellious streak. And this could be your very first training session as well your first test shall we say and that is not bleeding to death when I take your right arm"

Crash! A Ki blast smashed into the back of the tyrants head instantly fizzled out of existence.

Friezia turned around only to be meet with another Ki blast smashing into his face. The spinning saw that had been spinning in his left hand disappeared as the tyrant focused on his new target.

Standing across from the Frost Demon his left palm facing out after firing a Ki blast stood Bardock. The Sayian stood tall unshaken despite facing certain death in the face.

"Listen hear you better leave my grandson alone or I am going to crush you" Bardock smiled cockily pointing with himself with his only thumb.

"Oh really" Friezia spat stepping forward out of the dust cloud revealing as Bardock knew that the attack had done nothing. The Frost Demon however immediately noticed that his new "Attacker" Was defiantly Sayian. " Grandson you say. You mean that heap behind he is your grandson?"

"What are you deaf cue ball? that's what I said wasn't it?" Bardock chuckled.

A vain began to pulsate at the top of Frieza forehead as rage began to cloud over the Frost Demon's senses.

"CUE-BALL! You dare insult me! The great lord Frieza. I am going to enjoy ripping you apart piece by piece" The Frost Demon roared before darting forward.

The tyrant knew he could have just instantly killed the Sayian that dared insulted him but he decided that would be of no use he wanted the Sayian to see his death coming to feel each and everyone of his limbs being ripped off his body.

Crash!

The bloody and incredible cut forum of Piccolo erupted from beneath the ground the tyrant stood on in a green and purple blur. Upper-cutting the tyrant back up into the air before the Frost Demon could reach his target.

"You took your time" Bardock yelled out up towards Piccolo who was now flouting between himself and the incredible enraged Friezia who had just steadied himself in mid-air and now had a particularly fresh murderous look on his face. "I thought you were going to let him kill me"

"I was thinking about it" Piccolo replied in his neutral emotionless voice the Namek's eyes completely locked on Friezia's. "But then I remembered that I needed someone to get Gohan out of here while I continued MY fight! Plus if anyone is going to get to kill you it's going to be me!"

~DBAT~

Earlier back at the Sayian ship's cabin.

Bardock stood in front of the ships control's preparing the to launch. Behind him lay the body's of the last remaining Sayian guards that had tried to stop him. Normally the Sayian would have gloated and laughed at the guards over the fact his power was now completely overwhelmed theirs. But now Bardock's mind was focused on his mission at hand getting off the planet as quickly as possible.

As he continued pressing a variety of buttons the Sayain felt a sharp pain in his stomach and his hand immediately went to nurse the area.

"You really did a number on me kid" Bardock moaned regretting the fact he didn't ask one of the two Namek's to heal him. Instead deciding to rush off to get to the ship's controls. "It's a pity you ran to your death like that you could have been a great fighter just like your old man. I hope these Dragonballs can bring you back to life Gohan."

Bardock mused for a moment but then quickly began to continue his work before he was interrupted by a familiar voice inside his mind.

"Father?"

"Kakarott?" Bardock replied looking around himself in surprise. "Were are you?"

"To be honest I don't know" Goku Chuckled "One minute I'm in otherworld. the next I'm in that healing tank you put me in. Honestly I think King Yemma is getting so fed up he might send me to hell"

"King Yemma? Hell? " Bardock muttered his mind unconsciously going back to the huge being he saw when he envisioned his own passing with his future sight. "Kakarott what's going on?"

"Goku" Another more nasally voice broke over the convocation. "Can you hurry this up going this link up between your mind and your fathers is really tiring"

"Sorry King Kia" Goku replied back happily.

"King Kia?" Bardock repeated before a new but somewhat familiar voice entered his mind.

"Wait King Kia are you talking to Goku and his father. That Sayian that lead the others to Earth because I want a word with him" (In otherworld Yamcha the scar faced bandit had joined the "call" by placing his hand on the old dainty's back) "Hay their you Barstard!" Yamcha roared.

Bardock was taken aback for someone that had seen countless millions of people die in front of him it was the first time one had spoken to him from the grave it was for all intense and purposes quite unnerving the old Sayian was stunned into silence.

"Too afraid to speak huh? You must have heard that we have been going though exactly the same training Goku did before he came back to Earth to kick your arse." Yamcha roared cockily turning his free hand into a fist "I bet I would crush you into dust"

"Yamcha please stop! You can have your smack talk later but right now Goku need's to speak" King Kia pleaded with his student with frustration.

"What's going on hear guys" Tian and Choutzu spoke in unison joining in the telepathic call.

"Just telling Goku's dad how badly I'm going to crush him when were wished back to life" Yamcha replied b.

"You will have to wait your turn as I've got first dibs on him" Tien said matter of factly and Bardock could have sworn he heard the tri-clops clicking his back in anticipation.

Bardock was completely in disbelief. Not only was he hearing the voiced of his dead son's friends in his head but they were threatening to attack him when they came back to life. "I must have finally lost it" Bardock though to himself.

"Guy's guys please you can all have a crack at him later when your brought back to life but right now can you let me speak to him?" Goku asked calmly half laughing at his friend's antics.

"Fine Goku but only for you" Yamcha replied while him and the other's removed their hands from King Kia back and walked away leaving a rather annoyed dainty who was frustrated with his students for listening to Goku and not him.

"Kakaott what's going on?" Bardock yelled slightly annoyed and confused.

"Right right. Well I tried telepathicly connecting with you but I couldn't cause I kept dying and coming back to life" Goku began to explain.

"I knew that" Bardock roared. He didn't but it was easier for the Sayian if his son didn't explain what the hell was going on for someone that dealt in the business of killing dead people really freaked Bardock out. "Just tell me why!"

"Oh yeah I need you to go save Gohan from Friezia from me" Goku said calmly as if he was asking Bardock to pick Gohan up from a friends house.

"Really and how do you suppose I do that" Bardock replied back sarcastically.

"Well I thought you could fly?"

"This is not a joke Kakarott" Bardock roared back slamming his fist on the controls before relising he could have broke them.

"Who's joking? I thought you could fly" Goku replied

"You idiot" Bardock muttered under his breath but a small smile had formed on his face.

"Hay that's not a very nice thing to say" Goku replied back angrily "Beside your the one that let Gohan go in the first place"

"What do you mean let him go! Your son decked me in the stomach!"

"Well you should have had your guard up" Goku replied back.

"Really Kakarott?" Bardock snapped "Look I haven't got time to waste talking to you I have to get us off this planet before Friezia comes for us!"

"No not without Gohan! Chi-Chi would kill me if I leave him here and I don't want that tyrant to hurt him" Goku's voice was completely seriousness now and had a dark edge to it.

"Well why don't you go get him yourself then!

"I can't ..." Goku said simply almost defeated "I can't save my son... but you can!"

Several moment later Bardock currently flying towards Gohan and Friezia's battle.

"I can't save my son but you can" Bardock growled angrily mimicking his son's voice. "Fuck you Kakarott. I'm gonna get myself killed and your gonna get killed and I don't care what that King Yemma say's he can let me keep my body so I can kick the crap out of you before he sends me to hell"

"Well if I'm going out it's going to be in style" Bardock cried as he continued to fly to his grandson's age thinking of as many insults to throw at Friezia as possible.

Back inside the healing chamber Goku smiled to himself as he sense his fathers energy approaching that of Gohan.

"Thank you father I'll be their soon" The Sayian though to himself.

~DBZ~

"We never finished are fight" Piccolo snarled bearing his fangs at Frieza as he spoke. "You Sayian take the boy and get out of here"

"Hay you can't tell me what to do" Bardock barked backed his Sayian pride agitated by being ordered around by a Namek.

"Just do it or you won't be useful to me and I'll destroy you" Piccolo replied angrily his eyes still on his Frost Demon foe.

"Shut up" Friezia yelled angrily joining the convocation. "Who do you think you are ordering my men around and threatening their lives!"

"Are you for real are you that deluded that you still think I work for you? don't you realise this is a rebellion! Are you that foolish" Bardock cried out.

"Shut up you fool!" The Frost Demon roared Firing a Ki blast towards the Sayian Bardock.

Boom! Piccolo got in-between Bardock and Friezia's attack managing to deflect the blast away.

"Are you going to keep talking smack to this genocide manic or are you going to save Gohan because I swear if you speak again I am not going to save you!" Piccolo roared his left hand smouldering from were he deflected the blast.

From behind Piccolo Bardock merely nodded before heading off to Gohan's aid.

Crash!

Friezia's left hand connected against the Namek's right cheek causing the green man to spit out purple blood.

"How dare you get in the way of my attack" The Frost Demon cried.

The Namek responded by smacking his right fist into Friezia's face.

"A bit sore are we" The Namek mocked trying to grab the Frost Demon's attention away from Gohan and Bardock and onto him. "I see you've really let yourself go since the last time we meet you even lost a hand"

To illustrate this point Piccolo smashed his left fist against the tyrants unguarded right cheek.

"You Barstard" The Tyrant roared lashing out with his tail. Connecting against the taller Nameks side. "I only need one hand to wipe a vermin like you out"

Hello everyone Another short and sweet chapter but I think a lot has happened a lot of character development for Bardock here and some nice interaction with the dead Z fighters.

I just want to make it clear Friezia was fighting Gohan at full power when he hit him it was full force and he is very lucky to be alive. In fact he is near deaths door and before anyone complains I think this is very realistic. And their was no way Gohan could have won without going super Sayian and it would be op as hell if he manage to actually put up a fight and the only reason why he manage to crush Friezia's hand is because. Friezia actually has to focus his Ki into it to make it as strong as his natural hand now metal is hard but lets face it Goku could rip robots apart when he was a child and we are way pass that point now XD

I hope you enjoyed this chapter
