Hey, Ishmael here. (That's my real name.)
Now I know the kind of attitude people have when they see the title of this "chapter". Most people can't be bothered reading them and they're like "Just upload the next chapter already!". But this is really important so please stick around. There are some things I'd like to address and some announcements I need to make.
So first I'd like to reply to a certain smartass in the review section. Yes, this is going to be a 'dragonball wank fest' as they so eloquently put it. But only for the time being. I said before that I am more a fan of DB than DC, so obviously I'm a bit biased.
Second, I understand that Bardock seems quite OP. That is simply because he is... but I'm not going to just have him go around clobbering everyone forever. I have made him a bit more of a humble character than SSJ Lone Wolf's OC, even though he's a badass. By the way go check his writings. They are simply amazing and as some of you may know, this story was inspired by one of his. You'll know which one it is.
I realise that I should have given Bardock's power levels. When it comes to this subject, I try to stick to the Dragonball Universe's power scaling. With the new DLC from Xenoverse 2, it seem that full powered LSSJ Broly can hold his own against Limit Break Jiren! I know Xenoverse isn't canon, but whatever! I've done some research and so far this is what I can make of the saiyan transformations. And before people start complaining, I've seen popular agreements on this and it seems to be the most fitting to me.
SSJ = 50 X BASE
SSJ2 = 2 X SSJ
SSJ3 = 4 X SSJ2
SSJG = 250 X SSJ3
SSJB = 50 X SSJG
MUI = 2000 X SSJB
Destroyer God Saiyan = or MUI.
And I'm guessing here that Blue Evolved is twice as strong as blue but that power is unique to Vegeta, so I won't use it for Bardock. Now I have invented something for Bardock here. I call it the 'L switch'. It is the ability for Bardock to be able to switch off his Legendary power and have a normal power scaling like the one above. If some are wondering, I may not include SSJ4 as I don't really like GT. But I am open to suggestions which I actually have something to say about later.
Now this is Bardock with his L switch on. I'd like to add that his Base power will be the same regardless even if it was off. I've done a lot of analysis on Broly (Super, not OG) in order to apply it to Bardock. But I want you to note that Bardock has been trained by the GM. He has control over his power, which makes him a lot more powerful. My evidence is Kale's transitions in the ToP. While she was able to control her erratic energy, she was far more powerful which the characters agreed upon. I know Universe 6 saiyans are weaker as they evolved without the abilities and the instincts of the Oozaru, but the principles must apply right? So here is his scaling:
BASE Bardock SSJ3
Half powered Wrath SSJG
Full powered Wrath = SSJB
Partially powered LSSJ Bardock (blonde hair) = way stronger than Blue evidently.
Full powered LSSJ Bardock = Limit Break Jiren
Bardock has all the forms that Goku and Vegeta are able to use minus Evolution because he is able to use divine energy. I've made him Beerus's successor in this fic because let's be honest, Vegeta is not interested. He will do anything only to surpass Goku. That is why Bardock is able to use Hakai in the last chapter.
...
Now for the announcements.
I was quite surprised by the results of the poll I put up. The three top ones were Powergirl, Starfire and Caulifla with equal votes. Now I am still going to go with Kansei, another OC I adopted. She is the angel in the image of this story, on top of the page if you're on a computer using the web. Quite attractive isn't she? It's the design of someone on . She is Bardock's girlfriend and future angel attendant as I am making Whis retire for a bit once Beerus steps down.
I put up the poll to see what my viewers would have wanted me to do. I've decided to bring those three in later in this story and perhaps more and give Bardock a harem. I can already see the rolling eyes...but why can't he be polygamous. He is one of the last of his race. That should be a good excuse right?
I don't intend to make this one of those soppy romance stories with tons of lemons. It is meant to be of the adventurous and action theme.
Coming to this subject, I was raised in a rather modest household. So I won't be doing explicit lemons. I also don't like using profanity in real life, much less doing it in my stories so I won't be doing that either, except perhaps for great expressions.
I have a couple of important announcements.
I have made a forum dedicated to this AU of mine. You can go there and leave your suggestions there. Here is the link:
Saiyan and the Circus(ehm) Leauge Forum | FanFiction
I want to dedicate a lot to this AU and I would love for you to join me on this journey. If anybody wants to be a moderator just send me a request and I will decide if I should make you one.
Lastly, before I continue this story, I am working on an Origins story on Bardock. For now, I am planning on calling it 'Family'. I have worked on the next chapter and you can have a little peak in a moment. I don't know when I will be done with the Origin story, much less post it as I am doing a diploma at college and I am really tied down with studies and I barely get any time to write or muster up the motivation to sit down and write because I'm just so burned out. And I thought high school was bad!
So stay tuned.
And for any of you that wondered why I took all my stories down. Well... I was going through a tough time in my life. I was forced to reflect on myself as a person and my decisions in life. For some reason, I took down my stories and cleared my profile. My head was not clear at the time. I guess it was just a phase. Don't worry, I'm alright now. And luckily I have a backup of those stories so I will be reposting them when I get the chance. Although a couple have been discontinued, people still enjoyed them.
Once again, if you want some fanservice, just go to the forum and put down your ideas. And share this story and the forum with friends so we can make all of this a bigger picture. I am very excited to make this journey with you all.
I wish you all the best of luck. And a bit of advice... no matter how dark and hopeless things may seem at times, just remember that there is always someone in your life who cares. Sometimes it can be the most unexpected person. And no matter what, as long as you can still draw breath, there is always hope. Don't let others get into your head and belittle you. We are all special in some way or another. And it doesn't matter how far-fetched they are, follow your dreams. As long as you are a person with good morals, you are capable of achieving something honourable. Never give up, because if you do, then enemies have already won.
With all that said, I'm out. See ya next time ;)
PEACE!
Sneak peek;
"The first time I heard of the Destroyer was when I was a little girl." Diana said.
Everybody was still sitting in the crater, recovering from their scuffle. The most injured was Superman. All sorts of emotions were flowing through him at this point. Never, in all the years he had been defending Earth had he ever felt such pain. His healing factor was slowly easing the pain but he barely noticed it. The only thing he could comprehend was how utterly defenceless and weak he felt against that punch. Not even Darkseid could pack so much force behind his fist.
Next to him was Atom still trying to recover his body mass. Miraculously his core had not imploded from the overcharge. Thinking back to the energy he had tried to absorb Bardock, he recalled the sheer potency of it. What sort of energy was it? Bioenergy? No...with how concentrated it was, it was unlikely. He strained his ears however to hear what Diana was saying.
"What is the destroyer?" Karen asked. Diana sat on her legs, rubbing her sword. Casting her eyes over the destruction around her, she sighed.
"I first heard of him when I was probably eight. At that time I would run around outside the castle and in the towns, mixing with my sisters and having fun. We Amazons have always worshipped the Olympian gods, and we always revered Zeus as the greatest of them. There really aren't many warriors left from the ancient times apart from my mother and a few others. But one time I heard one of the old warriors talking about a god so powerful, he was able to destroy a planet with a tap of a finger."
"Impossible!" shouted Marvel. "Such a being can't exist."
"I've heard similar stories as well." stated John. "I just thought they were drunken idiots high on too much liquor, but I once heard a few lanterns talking about a cosmic entity that could vaporise galaxies in a single moment." Everyone's eyes widened.
J'onn rubbed his chin. "Now that I think about it, there was an ancient legend back on Mars about a god of destruction. The legend says that it was actually him that introduced technology to us. I just took it as some fairy tale."
"A very funny coincidence isn't it, that everyone seems to have heard about such a being even on different worlds. Though can someone like that really exist?" Batman put his thoughts forward. Diana's behaviour was already worrying him. First Bardock and now some sort of Destroyer god? Speaking of which, they should all have been hunting the alien but here they were having story time!
"He does exist! I was curious about this story so I went to my mother with it. All she did was send me to my quarters and when I woke up the next morning, the old warrior that had been talking about the Destroyer was nowhere to be found."
"Foul play?" Clark asked. He really didn't like where this conversation was going.
"I don't know. But I was told never to speak of such blasphemous things ever again. And I didn't. From then on I trained to be one of the greatest amazons that ever lived and I lived my life in servitude to Zeus. Nothing was ever said about the destroyer god again...until he visited us a few decades later..."
