CHAPTER 6
Trunks regained consciousness and looked up at the blurry figure. His arms and legs were attached to a wall behind him. He tried many times to ripped his arms free, but was unable to break the indestructible metal. He watched as the figure walked back and forth. It was speaking but he couldn't understand, or maybe he couldn't hear what it was saying. He barely felt the blow that was dealt to him. His whole body was numb. He had gone Super Saya-jin 3 a few times, but that was when he had energy. Trunks just let his body hang, he almost gave up hope. He suddenly heard a commotion. He faintly felt a familiar ki appear by him. "Trunks! Trunks!" Goten yelled as he ripped the keys from the unconscious guard. He freed Trunks arms and legs. The tortured Saya-jin began to fall to the floor, but Bardock caught him. "Here, buddy," Goten said as he pulled out a senzu, "chew on it." Goten put the bean into Trunks' mouth and made him chew it down. Trunks barely swallowed it, and slowly began to regain his strength. "One more Goten, I'm still weak." Trunks managed to say. Goten happily obliged. Trunks swallowed the second bean and felt his muscles bulge. "Boy, am I glad to see you guys!" Trunks said with energy he hadn't felt in a long time. Jinja cracked a smile and hugged her father. Then she began crying, "I missed you so much!" Jinja cried. Trunks gave Jinja a surprised look, then Nail. "Your daughter is very strong, she was determined to save you." Nail said. "I know you guys wanted to save me, but I don't think you should have come. They are too strong." Trunks said after a long silence. "Do not underestimate us, we have gotten much stronger." Bardock said. "I know, but they-" Trunks began to say but was interrupted by a knock at the door. "We can't leave now though, we have to try to kill the King, or Earth will be destroyed." Trunks explained. He walked to the door and easily disposed of the guard at the other side. He motioned for everyone to follow him as he ran down the hall toward King Kaalor's throne room. Trunks kicked the door open and ran into the room. King Kaalor stood up and motioned for his guards to seize him. A few Changelings ran towards the Saya-jin. Suddenly 3 figures circled around them and then appeared by Trunks. The soldiers fell to the floor. "So, your friends have come to save you?" Kaalor said as he slowly walked down the staircase. "We have come to stop your tyranny!" Trunks yelled, barely holding himself back from his torturer. "What do you know about my tyranny?" Kaalor asked. "Because of your relative, my home planet was destroyed, and my race is on the verge of extinction!" Trunks said. Then Nail stepped up, "He has also destroyed my planet, and I will finally get vengeance for my people!" "I had nothing to do with it." Kaalor stated, trying to catch the warriors off guard. "You can't fool me! You're a hundred times worse than Freezer!" Trunks said as his hair flew up and turned golden. Kaalor chuckled, "Don't waste your life…" While Trunks powered up, Burner walked in from behind them with Jinja and Maron in his arms. "You were careless, now they will die because of your stupidity." Burner stated as he appeared next to his father, with the two girls struggling in futility. "LET THEM GOOO!" Trunks yelled as he let his power explode. Goten, Bardock and Nail also powered up. "It seems we have angered them…I think I'll let you handle this son." Kaalor said. "Gladly…" Burner said as he knocked Jinja and Maron out and he attacked the four warriors head on. Goten and Bardock went Super Saya-jin and disappeared, leaving Trunks and Nail standing there, waiting for Burner's attack.
"They have started!" King Kai yelled. Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan appeared beside him. "It seems that they can beat Burner. Their ki is much higher than his." Piccolo nodded, "What about the other?" King Kai gave them a grim look and shook his head, "His power is unfathomable, I don't think they would even know what hit them…" "Could he be that strong!?" Gohan asked. King Kai nodded. "Your wrong, Trunks will come through! He is a Saya-jin!" Vegeta said. "Vegeta's right, Goten and Bardock are also there, 3 Super Saya-jins should be enough to stop him." Goku added. "We will see soon…." King Kai stated as he began to concentrate on the fight.
Burner's fist flew towards Nail's face, but stopped an inch short. Burner looked back and saw two Super Saya-jins holding his tail. He turned to fight them but Nail caught his arms. Burner struggled to get free but was unable to break their grip. Trunks appeared above Burner and began throwing punches into his face and chest. Trunks gritted his teeth as he went level 2. Bardock and Goten followed. "You'll pay for THIS!!" Burner said between punches. Nail's eyes widened as he felt Burner's ki soar. Burner easily broke free of their grip and grabbed Trunks by the throat. Trunks grabbed his arm and tried to get free from Burner's hand. Goten, Bardock, and Nail backed up as Burner began his metamorphosis. "I thought they only had four forms!" Nail whispered. "You fool, Freezer had four forms, his brother Cooler had five, I have six!" Burner yelled before Goten could explain. "I will spare you the fifth form and go straight to the sixth." Burner said as he through the struggling Trunks at Bardock. Trunks grabbed his neck and tried to regain his breath as Burner grew four feet taller. His tail grew spikes at the ends and his arms and legs grew plates of shiny red patches. "You will all die…" Burner said as he began calmly walking towards them. Goten and Trunks looked at each other and nodded. "FUUUUSION-Haaaaa!" A flash of light filled the room. Burner rubbed his eyes and when he could see again, he saw a tall figure with long blonde hair lunging at him with one of his fists behind him. Burner tried to block but Gotenks' punch went right through his arms and landed in his face, knocking him to the floor. "You don't stand a chance against us!" Gotenks said in two voices simultaneously. Burner stood up and rubbed his cheek. Suddenly he appeared beside Gotenks and wrapped his tail around their neck. Gotenks grabbed his tail and tried to pry it from their necks but Burner wouldn't let go. Nail and Bardock then appeared on each side of Burner and began slamming fists into his sides. At first, it didn't phase him, but then they began powering up. Burner began feeling pain and forgot to hold Gotenks tight. Before he knew what happened, Gotenks got free and slammed a fist into his face. Burner fell to the floor, blood running from his nose, "How, how can this be?" Burner said in disbelief. He stood up slowly but then doubled over as Bardock and Nail threw fists into his gut. He fell to his knees, holding his stomach. Gotenks picked Burner up and threw him into the air, "KAA-MEE-HAA-MEE-HAAAAA" a beam flew straight towards the Changeling. It easily overtook his body, killing him. Kaalor chuckled. "How can you laugh at your own sons death?" Nail screamed. "He was a weakling…I don't care for weaklings." He answered. "You will join him soon!" Gotenks yelled as he thrust himself onto the King. Kaalor brought his arm back and swatted Gotenks to the floor easily. Bardock and Nail stared in awe. Gotenks stood up with a surprised look on his face, "I didn't even see him hit us…" Trunks said to Goten, "Me neither." Goten replied. Suddenly, three walls appeared out of nowhere and trapped Nail, Gotenks and Bardock in them. "Oh no!" Trunks thought. "Guys these are indestructible walls, impossible to break!" he explained to Bardock and Nail. Caalor chuckled. "What kind of fighting is this!" Nail growled as he struggled to get free. "I wanted to torture these girls in front of you before I kill you, that way you will understand you should have never challenged me. I have been ruling this universe for generations, and a couple of Saya-jins and a Namek aren't going to stop me!" Kaalor stated as he laughed. "Don't….you…dare….touch…them…." Bardock said as he felt something growing inside of him. Caalor picked the two girls up and threw them near the three warriors. Maron and Jinja got up as they hit the floor. Jinja caught a glimpse of her father trapped, then Nail. Rage crossed her face as she turned to Kaalor. "Let them GOOOO!!!!!!" she yelled as an enormous amount of power exploded from her body. Her hair began to stand on end, flashing golden. "Wow, she has some spunk to her…I think I will kill her first." Trunks and Nail suddenly looked up at him, as they began struggling even harder to get free. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!!!" Nail growled, "I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Power began powering out of Nail's body. Bardock looked over at his friend, "How is that possible…" he thought as Nail's ki kept getting higher and higher. Kaalor tried to grab Jinja as she disappeared and kicked him in the back of his head. Kaalor stumbled forward a bit then spun around and grabbed the little girl. He began to squeeze, beginning to crush all the bones in her body. Gotenks changed level 4 as he began losing control of himself. Kaalor looked at Gotenks, "This is rare indeed, I wonder if you will change again if I squeeze her even harder!" he said as he tightened his grip. That was all for Nail. He through his arms forwards with everything he had, ripping free from the shackles. Kaalor turned around, and his surprised look turned into amusement. Nail gave Kaalor a menacing stare as his wrists began dripping with purple blood. He threw himself at Kaalor, not caring about the ki difference. "How do you expect to fight me without any hands?" Kaalor stated, not even powering up to fight Nail. Nail regenerated his hands right before he threw the hardest punch he ever threw into Kaalor's chin, knocking the huge Changeling down and freeing Jinja from his grasp. She fell to the floor and gave Nail a frightened look. Before anyone could say a word, Kaalor exploded with power and attacked Nail. Nail fought back with everything he had but the Changeling was too much. Kaalor threw Nail against a wall and put a hand against his neck. Nail struggled to breath as Kaalor cut off the circulation to his head. "No one has ever hit me before, you will pay dearly for that!" Kaalor said only to Nail as his hand began tightening. Without warning, Jinja appeared by Kaalor's head and threw a kick into his throat, catching the Changeling off guard. Nail looked at the golden-haired girl appear in front of him and fire a huge blast into Kaalor's stomach, sending him clear across the room into the other wall. Nail caught his breath and stood by Jinja. "It's too dangerous you shouldn't be here." Nail said. "I want to help my father!" Jinja replied with the same answer as before. Nail nodded, "Well then get ready for the fight of your life!" he said as Kaalor appeared in front of them. They split up, sending ki blasts at him from both sides. Kaalor easily blocked them and went after Jinja first. He knocked her to the floor and began stepping on her head, crushing her skull, little by little. Nail appeared behind him and threw hundreds of punches into his back, trying to divert his attention from the little girl. Kaalor ignored Nail and continued torturing the little girl. Nail felt Jinja's ki drop drastically, her hair already back to its original color. "He is gonna kill her! DAMNIT I cant stop him!!!" Nail desperately thought to himself. Suddenly, the Saya-jin cells leftover in Nail's body began to react. Nail felt a surge of power come from seemingly nowhere. A golden aura surrounded the astonished Namek and his ki level shot up to extraordinary heights. Nail brought his leg back and kicked Kaalor in the head. The huge Changeling was sent to the floor with an astonished look on his face. He rubbed his face where he was kicked as he got up slowly. "Where did you get all the power?" Kaalor asked him. Nail looked down at his clenched fists, trying to understand what had happened. "I must have kept some of Bardock's cells when we separated…" he whispered. "No matter, you will be just as easily disposed of, and after you….the little girl!" Kaalor said as he lunged at Nail. They began exchanging blows, Nail slowly losing the battle. "Oh no, that bastard is still stronger than Nail!" Bardock yelled, "I gotta help him!" Bardock's muscles began to bulge. The aura around him began to increase. "If he can go Super Saya-jin! Then maybe I can regenerate!!!" Bardock thought to himself as he ripped his arms forward, leaving his hands shackled to the wall. He groaned in pain as blood dripped from his wrists. "Bardock, concentrate, try to imagine your cells regenerating, try to imagine growing your hands back…" Nail explained to Bardock telepathically. Bardock shut his eyes and began concentrating. Suddenly, his muscles tensed up and hands shout out from his wrists, and a tail sprang out of his back. Bardock fell to his knees in exhaustion. Nail fell to the floor by him. "You gotta help me out buddy, he is too strong." Nail managed to utter before Kaalor picked him up and threw him through the ceiling. "Nail…" Bardock whispered. "We gotta help them Trunks!" Goten said. "Look Goten," Trunks looked up, showing Goten the light coming from the ceiling, "a moon…" Trunks said. They smiled inwardly as they pointed their shackled hands up and fired a huge ki blast, destroying the ceiling and exposing the moon. "BARDOCK, LOOK UP!!!" Gotenks yelled. Bardock managed to bring his gaze upon the full moon of the Changeling planet. He groaned as he felt his body increase in size. "Kill Kaalor!" Was the last thought that went through Bardock's savage mind. Fur began sprouting out all over his body. Nail looked on as Bardock changed into his Oozaru form. "You're done for Kaalor…" Nail yelled to the frightened King. He stepped back and gazed at the gigantic ape, "What, what is this???" he said as he stepped back. Bardock roared and beat his chests with his arms. He looked down at Kaalor ferociously. Kaalor stepped back as Bardock swung his arm low, trying to grab the dumfounded king. Bardock arm destroyed the kings throne room, letting Gotenks break free from his prison. Caalor fired a beam into Bardock's huge chest, knocking the ape to the floor. As he laughed, Bardock jumped back onto his feet and grabbed Caalor. His fist began closing on the Changeling's powerful body. As Nail looked on to see the pain in Kaalor's face, he was surprised to see a smile. Nail could think of only one thing, Kaalor's transforming ability! Kaalor roared as his body began changing, growing bigger and stronger. Bardock's fist was forced open by the unexpected transformation. Kaalor smiled as he began to stand eye to eye with the Saya-jin. Before anyone could say anything, the ape and Changeling locked hands and had a power standoff. Nail grabbed the waking Jinja and flew off with Gotenks. They landed far away as the power began pouring out of the two huge warriors. The sky blackened, and lightning began to strike around them. Kaalor's servants ran from their little huts, trying to escape the devastation of an upcoming battle. "They are even in strength…." Nail whispered to himself, Gotenks nodded as he heard him. They looked on as Bardock threw a fist into Kaalor's face, then he took Kaalor's fist into his gut. They stumbled away from each other, crushing homes under their feet, and fired beams at each others, disintegrating half the town. Gotenks was amazed at their speed, "I can barely keep up!" Nail nodded, "Me neither!" They were throwing hundreds of punches and kicks at each other now, waiting for the other to slip up. Suddenly, Bardock stepped on a tower, which pierced his foot, as he cringed in pain, Kaalor appeared behind him and grabbed the poor monkey in a full nelson. Bardock struggled with all his might, but Kaalor hung on. We gotta help him, his ki is falling, he is losing consciousness!" Nail yelled as he put Jinja down and flew towards the fight. Gotenks was right behind. As they neared, they knew they didn't have enough time. Suddenly, they heard a voice off in the distance. "KIENZEN!!!" a thin disc of energy was flung at the huge warriors heads. Nail and Gotenks looked at each other and nodded. They put their hands together and fired a beam straight towards Bardock's tail, slicing it just as the Kienzen flew over his head. Before Kaalor could block the attack, it pierced through his armored skin and sliced his head off. Bardock fell to the floor naked as Kaalor's headless body began to fall forward. Nail grabbed the tired Saya-jins body just in time and saved him from being crushed by the falling giant. Maron fell to her knees because all her energy was put into that one attack, "I…told….you….I… would….help…" she managed to say as she fell to the floor in exhaustion. Gotenks grabbed her and landed by Nail and Bardock. Jinja joined them. People began to cheer as they saw their dictator fall to the floor. "Well it looks like a human saved the day this time…" Goten said as he separated from Trunks. Nail nodded as he looked at the unconscious pair, "Bardock trained her well, even though he only saw Krillan's Kienzen once, he was still able to teach her…" Trunks grabbed his daughter and swung her around in the air, "I am so proud of you!" Jinja cried and hugged her father tightly. "Let's say we get out of here, huh Nail?" Goten said as they all grabbed hold of the weary Namek. "What about these people?" Nail asked. "They will figure out what to do themselves." Trunks explained as Nail nodded. He brought his fingers to his head and concentrated on Pan's ki. As the Changeling's came to thank their saviors, they vanished, leaving nothing behind but tattered clothing and a big mess.
"Unbelievable….they did it…" King Kai muttered. Piccolo and Goku gazed down at the King's shoulders as they saw Nail disappear off the planet. "Bardock's Oozaru form was incredible…and he was able to regenerate…" Goku said slowly. "And Nail can go….Super Saya-jin…." Piccolo added. They looked at each other for a moment, then Piccolo went towards his meditation spot, and Goku went into his hut, both laughing inwardly at the new potential their sons had. King Kai watched the two warriors separate, then, when they were out of hearing distance, "Trunks and Jinja are ok…" he said to the hidden Vegeta. The prince of Saya-jins nodded in concealed relief as he flew to his hut, wondering how King Kai could sense his presence. While everyone went to their respective areas, King Kai smiled and still could not believe how close the Earthlings always get to losing. "I will never understand these warriors…they never have an easy match, and yet they always pull through." He walked into his house and shut the door.
Master Roshi sat outside his house waiting for the warriors to get back, while Pan and Bra tried to rest inside. Roshi was dozing off when he suddenly heard Pan scream. "What is it! What is it!" He cried as he ran into the living room. He saw Nail, Goten, and Trunks, with Jinja in his arms, standing there, with Bardock and Maron unconscious on the floor. He sighed in relief as he realized that they were home safe. "Are they ok?" Bra asked immediately. Nail nodded and began to walk out. "Hey where are you going Nail-san?" Jinja asked as she jumped to the floor and ran after him. "I will let you guys have the reunion. I have much to reflect upon, and more training to do if I want to learn how to harness the power of Super Saya-jin. He also has some training to do…" Nail explained as he motioned towards the waking Bardock. "Why don't you stay, we owe a lot to you…I owe a lot to you." Trunks said. "Thank you, but I must go." Nail declined as he continued to walk out. Trunks nodded and turned back to his wife. Bardock sat up and appeared by Nail. "When are we gonna meet up again?" he asked. "You know where to find me." Nail said with a smile and a pat on his friends shoulder. He flew off into the distance. Bardock walked back inside and helped Maron to a couch. Jinja stayed outside and watched Nail until he disappeared. She stood outside for a little while longer, then powered up and flew after him. Trunks and Pan ran outside, "HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING???" Trunks yelled after her. "FINISH MY TRAINING!" Jinja yelled back. "Well I know why my grandmother didn't like Piccolo…" Pan said only half-kidding. Trunks put his arm around her and walked back inside. "Hey, where is Goten?" Bardock asked as he put an icepack on Maron's head. "Come to think of it…Bra is gone too…" Pan remarked. Master Roshi had a sinister smile on his face, "Bra went to show him something…" he managed to say before he burst out giggling like a madman. "Well, since Jinja is gone, I guess we will go. Tell Goten and Bra we said bye!" Trunks said as he grabbed Pan's hand and flew out of the house, leaving Bardock and Maron alone in the living room.
Maron's eyes slowly opened. The first image she saw was Bardock's excited gaze, looking back at her. "What happened?" she managed to say. "You saved the day, it's a good thing I trained you…" he whispered back to her. "You used up all your energy so you may not remember it, but me and Kaalor were fighting, then you did your father's Kienzen, and sliced his head off." Bardock explained. She nodded with a look of vague remembrance and hugged Bardock. They separated and Maron moved in to kiss him, but stopped as they heard a giggling behind the couch. "Master Roshi…" They said to each other. Bardock helped Maron up, a little relieved that Roshi was there, "Well you can sleep in my room, I'll sleep here on the couch, ok?" Maron nodded and walked towards Bardock's room. Master Roshi walked behind Bardock and whispered, "You idiot…." then kept walking towards his own room. Bardock lay back on the couch and tried to relax. "How the hell did we get out of that one." Bardock thought to himself as he closed his eyes and let his weary body rest.
"Home sweet home…" Nail thought to himself as he flew over the desolate mountain area. He knew Jinja was following him, but he didn't let her know, he wanted to see what she would do. Jinja tried to sneak up on her teacher, and as she jumped out, he grabbed her and put her to the floor. "You were too noisy, these ears aren't just for looks you know…" Nail explained as he let her up, "Why did you follow me?" he asked her. She looked up at him, "I want to be trained like my Grandpa Gohan was trained." Nail nodded, "This will be tough training, last time I was training myself as well, this time my attention will be on you the whole time…" he warned. "I am ready!" Jinja said with overflowing determination in her voice. Nail smiled, "You truly are one of Goku's descendants. I remember the few years I spent with him, he always knew he could do something, no matter how unlikely it was for him to succeed." Nail smiled as he recollected. "We've had a long day, we will start tomorrow, tonight, just worry about resting up." He finally said. Jinja nodded. Nail began to meditate as Jinja tried to get comfortable on the rocky surface. "Sleep well, Jinja." "Good night Nail-san." Jinja said as she fell asleep, dreaming about the rough days of training ahead….
Trunks regained consciousness and looked up at the blurry figure. His arms and legs were attached to a wall behind him. He tried many times to ripped his arms free, but was unable to break the indestructible metal. He watched as the figure walked back and forth. It was speaking but he couldn't understand, or maybe he couldn't hear what it was saying. He barely felt the blow that was dealt to him. His whole body was numb. He had gone Super Saya-jin 3 a few times, but that was when he had energy. Trunks just let his body hang, he almost gave up hope. He suddenly heard a commotion. He faintly felt a familiar ki appear by him. "Trunks! Trunks!" Goten yelled as he ripped the keys from the unconscious guard. He freed Trunks arms and legs. The tortured Saya-jin began to fall to the floor, but Bardock caught him. "Here, buddy," Goten said as he pulled out a senzu, "chew on it." Goten put the bean into Trunks' mouth and made him chew it down. Trunks barely swallowed it, and slowly began to regain his strength. "One more Goten, I'm still weak." Trunks managed to say. Goten happily obliged. Trunks swallowed the second bean and felt his muscles bulge. "Boy, am I glad to see you guys!" Trunks said with energy he hadn't felt in a long time. Jinja cracked a smile and hugged her father. Then she began crying, "I missed you so much!" Jinja cried. Trunks gave Jinja a surprised look, then Nail. "Your daughter is very strong, she was determined to save you." Nail said. "I know you guys wanted to save me, but I don't think you should have come. They are too strong." Trunks said after a long silence. "Do not underestimate us, we have gotten much stronger." Bardock said. "I know, but they-" Trunks began to say but was interrupted by a knock at the door. "We can't leave now though, we have to try to kill the King, or Earth will be destroyed." Trunks explained. He walked to the door and easily disposed of the guard at the other side. He motioned for everyone to follow him as he ran down the hall toward King Kaalor's throne room. Trunks kicked the door open and ran into the room. King Kaalor stood up and motioned for his guards to seize him. A few Changelings ran towards the Saya-jin. Suddenly 3 figures circled around them and then appeared by Trunks. The soldiers fell to the floor. "So, your friends have come to save you?" Kaalor said as he slowly walked down the staircase. "We have come to stop your tyranny!" Trunks yelled, barely holding himself back from his torturer. "What do you know about my tyranny?" Kaalor asked. "Because of your relative, my home planet was destroyed, and my race is on the verge of extinction!" Trunks said. Then Nail stepped up, "He has also destroyed my planet, and I will finally get vengeance for my people!" "I had nothing to do with it." Kaalor stated, trying to catch the warriors off guard. "You can't fool me! You're a hundred times worse than Freezer!" Trunks said as his hair flew up and turned golden. Kaalor chuckled, "Don't waste your life…" While Trunks powered up, Burner walked in from behind them with Jinja and Maron in his arms. "You were careless, now they will die because of your stupidity." Burner stated as he appeared next to his father, with the two girls struggling in futility. "LET THEM GOOO!" Trunks yelled as he let his power explode. Goten, Bardock and Nail also powered up. "It seems we have angered them…I think I'll let you handle this son." Kaalor said. "Gladly…" Burner said as he knocked Jinja and Maron out and he attacked the four warriors head on. Goten and Bardock went Super Saya-jin and disappeared, leaving Trunks and Nail standing there, waiting for Burner's attack.
"They have started!" King Kai yelled. Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan appeared beside him. "It seems that they can beat Burner. Their ki is much higher than his." Piccolo nodded, "What about the other?" King Kai gave them a grim look and shook his head, "His power is unfathomable, I don't think they would even know what hit them…" "Could he be that strong!?" Gohan asked. King Kai nodded. "Your wrong, Trunks will come through! He is a Saya-jin!" Vegeta said. "Vegeta's right, Goten and Bardock are also there, 3 Super Saya-jins should be enough to stop him." Goku added. "We will see soon…." King Kai stated as he began to concentrate on the fight.
Burner's fist flew towards Nail's face, but stopped an inch short. Burner looked back and saw two Super Saya-jins holding his tail. He turned to fight them but Nail caught his arms. Burner struggled to get free but was unable to break their grip. Trunks appeared above Burner and began throwing punches into his face and chest. Trunks gritted his teeth as he went level 2. Bardock and Goten followed. "You'll pay for THIS!!" Burner said between punches. Nail's eyes widened as he felt Burner's ki soar. Burner easily broke free of their grip and grabbed Trunks by the throat. Trunks grabbed his arm and tried to get free from Burner's hand. Goten, Bardock, and Nail backed up as Burner began his metamorphosis. "I thought they only had four forms!" Nail whispered. "You fool, Freezer had four forms, his brother Cooler had five, I have six!" Burner yelled before Goten could explain. "I will spare you the fifth form and go straight to the sixth." Burner said as he through the struggling Trunks at Bardock. Trunks grabbed his neck and tried to regain his breath as Burner grew four feet taller. His tail grew spikes at the ends and his arms and legs grew plates of shiny red patches. "You will all die…" Burner said as he began calmly walking towards them. Goten and Trunks looked at each other and nodded. "FUUUUSION-Haaaaa!" A flash of light filled the room. Burner rubbed his eyes and when he could see again, he saw a tall figure with long blonde hair lunging at him with one of his fists behind him. Burner tried to block but Gotenks' punch went right through his arms and landed in his face, knocking him to the floor. "You don't stand a chance against us!" Gotenks said in two voices simultaneously. Burner stood up and rubbed his cheek. Suddenly he appeared beside Gotenks and wrapped his tail around their neck. Gotenks grabbed his tail and tried to pry it from their necks but Burner wouldn't let go. Nail and Bardock then appeared on each side of Burner and began slamming fists into his sides. At first, it didn't phase him, but then they began powering up. Burner began feeling pain and forgot to hold Gotenks tight. Before he knew what happened, Gotenks got free and slammed a fist into his face. Burner fell to the floor, blood running from his nose, "How, how can this be?" Burner said in disbelief. He stood up slowly but then doubled over as Bardock and Nail threw fists into his gut. He fell to his knees, holding his stomach. Gotenks picked Burner up and threw him into the air, "KAA-MEE-HAA-MEE-HAAAAA" a beam flew straight towards the Changeling. It easily overtook his body, killing him. Kaalor chuckled. "How can you laugh at your own sons death?" Nail screamed. "He was a weakling…I don't care for weaklings." He answered. "You will join him soon!" Gotenks yelled as he thrust himself onto the King. Kaalor brought his arm back and swatted Gotenks to the floor easily. Bardock and Nail stared in awe. Gotenks stood up with a surprised look on his face, "I didn't even see him hit us…" Trunks said to Goten, "Me neither." Goten replied. Suddenly, three walls appeared out of nowhere and trapped Nail, Gotenks and Bardock in them. "Oh no!" Trunks thought. "Guys these are indestructible walls, impossible to break!" he explained to Bardock and Nail. Caalor chuckled. "What kind of fighting is this!" Nail growled as he struggled to get free. "I wanted to torture these girls in front of you before I kill you, that way you will understand you should have never challenged me. I have been ruling this universe for generations, and a couple of Saya-jins and a Namek aren't going to stop me!" Kaalor stated as he laughed. "Don't….you…dare….touch…them…." Bardock said as he felt something growing inside of him. Caalor picked the two girls up and threw them near the three warriors. Maron and Jinja got up as they hit the floor. Jinja caught a glimpse of her father trapped, then Nail. Rage crossed her face as she turned to Kaalor. "Let them GOOOO!!!!!!" she yelled as an enormous amount of power exploded from her body. Her hair began to stand on end, flashing golden. "Wow, she has some spunk to her…I think I will kill her first." Trunks and Nail suddenly looked up at him, as they began struggling even harder to get free. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!!!" Nail growled, "I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Power began powering out of Nail's body. Bardock looked over at his friend, "How is that possible…" he thought as Nail's ki kept getting higher and higher. Kaalor tried to grab Jinja as she disappeared and kicked him in the back of his head. Kaalor stumbled forward a bit then spun around and grabbed the little girl. He began to squeeze, beginning to crush all the bones in her body. Gotenks changed level 4 as he began losing control of himself. Kaalor looked at Gotenks, "This is rare indeed, I wonder if you will change again if I squeeze her even harder!" he said as he tightened his grip. That was all for Nail. He through his arms forwards with everything he had, ripping free from the shackles. Kaalor turned around, and his surprised look turned into amusement. Nail gave Kaalor a menacing stare as his wrists began dripping with purple blood. He threw himself at Kaalor, not caring about the ki difference. "How do you expect to fight me without any hands?" Kaalor stated, not even powering up to fight Nail. Nail regenerated his hands right before he threw the hardest punch he ever threw into Kaalor's chin, knocking the huge Changeling down and freeing Jinja from his grasp. She fell to the floor and gave Nail a frightened look. Before anyone could say a word, Kaalor exploded with power and attacked Nail. Nail fought back with everything he had but the Changeling was too much. Kaalor threw Nail against a wall and put a hand against his neck. Nail struggled to breath as Kaalor cut off the circulation to his head. "No one has ever hit me before, you will pay dearly for that!" Kaalor said only to Nail as his hand began tightening. Without warning, Jinja appeared by Kaalor's head and threw a kick into his throat, catching the Changeling off guard. Nail looked at the golden-haired girl appear in front of him and fire a huge blast into Kaalor's stomach, sending him clear across the room into the other wall. Nail caught his breath and stood by Jinja. "It's too dangerous you shouldn't be here." Nail said. "I want to help my father!" Jinja replied with the same answer as before. Nail nodded, "Well then get ready for the fight of your life!" he said as Kaalor appeared in front of them. They split up, sending ki blasts at him from both sides. Kaalor easily blocked them and went after Jinja first. He knocked her to the floor and began stepping on her head, crushing her skull, little by little. Nail appeared behind him and threw hundreds of punches into his back, trying to divert his attention from the little girl. Kaalor ignored Nail and continued torturing the little girl. Nail felt Jinja's ki drop drastically, her hair already back to its original color. "He is gonna kill her! DAMNIT I cant stop him!!!" Nail desperately thought to himself. Suddenly, the Saya-jin cells leftover in Nail's body began to react. Nail felt a surge of power come from seemingly nowhere. A golden aura surrounded the astonished Namek and his ki level shot up to extraordinary heights. Nail brought his leg back and kicked Kaalor in the head. The huge Changeling was sent to the floor with an astonished look on his face. He rubbed his face where he was kicked as he got up slowly. "Where did you get all the power?" Kaalor asked him. Nail looked down at his clenched fists, trying to understand what had happened. "I must have kept some of Bardock's cells when we separated…" he whispered. "No matter, you will be just as easily disposed of, and after you….the little girl!" Kaalor said as he lunged at Nail. They began exchanging blows, Nail slowly losing the battle. "Oh no, that bastard is still stronger than Nail!" Bardock yelled, "I gotta help him!" Bardock's muscles began to bulge. The aura around him began to increase. "If he can go Super Saya-jin! Then maybe I can regenerate!!!" Bardock thought to himself as he ripped his arms forward, leaving his hands shackled to the wall. He groaned in pain as blood dripped from his wrists. "Bardock, concentrate, try to imagine your cells regenerating, try to imagine growing your hands back…" Nail explained to Bardock telepathically. Bardock shut his eyes and began concentrating. Suddenly, his muscles tensed up and hands shout out from his wrists, and a tail sprang out of his back. Bardock fell to his knees in exhaustion. Nail fell to the floor by him. "You gotta help me out buddy, he is too strong." Nail managed to utter before Kaalor picked him up and threw him through the ceiling. "Nail…" Bardock whispered. "We gotta help them Trunks!" Goten said. "Look Goten," Trunks looked up, showing Goten the light coming from the ceiling, "a moon…" Trunks said. They smiled inwardly as they pointed their shackled hands up and fired a huge ki blast, destroying the ceiling and exposing the moon. "BARDOCK, LOOK UP!!!" Gotenks yelled. Bardock managed to bring his gaze upon the full moon of the Changeling planet. He groaned as he felt his body increase in size. "Kill Kaalor!" Was the last thought that went through Bardock's savage mind. Fur began sprouting out all over his body. Nail looked on as Bardock changed into his Oozaru form. "You're done for Kaalor…" Nail yelled to the frightened King. He stepped back and gazed at the gigantic ape, "What, what is this???" he said as he stepped back. Bardock roared and beat his chests with his arms. He looked down at Kaalor ferociously. Kaalor stepped back as Bardock swung his arm low, trying to grab the dumfounded king. Bardock arm destroyed the kings throne room, letting Gotenks break free from his prison. Caalor fired a beam into Bardock's huge chest, knocking the ape to the floor. As he laughed, Bardock jumped back onto his feet and grabbed Caalor. His fist began closing on the Changeling's powerful body. As Nail looked on to see the pain in Kaalor's face, he was surprised to see a smile. Nail could think of only one thing, Kaalor's transforming ability! Kaalor roared as his body began changing, growing bigger and stronger. Bardock's fist was forced open by the unexpected transformation. Kaalor smiled as he began to stand eye to eye with the Saya-jin. Before anyone could say anything, the ape and Changeling locked hands and had a power standoff. Nail grabbed the waking Jinja and flew off with Gotenks. They landed far away as the power began pouring out of the two huge warriors. The sky blackened, and lightning began to strike around them. Kaalor's servants ran from their little huts, trying to escape the devastation of an upcoming battle. "They are even in strength…." Nail whispered to himself, Gotenks nodded as he heard him. They looked on as Bardock threw a fist into Kaalor's face, then he took Kaalor's fist into his gut. They stumbled away from each other, crushing homes under their feet, and fired beams at each others, disintegrating half the town. Gotenks was amazed at their speed, "I can barely keep up!" Nail nodded, "Me neither!" They were throwing hundreds of punches and kicks at each other now, waiting for the other to slip up. Suddenly, Bardock stepped on a tower, which pierced his foot, as he cringed in pain, Kaalor appeared behind him and grabbed the poor monkey in a full nelson. Bardock struggled with all his might, but Kaalor hung on. We gotta help him, his ki is falling, he is losing consciousness!" Nail yelled as he put Jinja down and flew towards the fight. Gotenks was right behind. As they neared, they knew they didn't have enough time. Suddenly, they heard a voice off in the distance. "KIENZEN!!!" a thin disc of energy was flung at the huge warriors heads. Nail and Gotenks looked at each other and nodded. They put their hands together and fired a beam straight towards Bardock's tail, slicing it just as the Kienzen flew over his head. Before Kaalor could block the attack, it pierced through his armored skin and sliced his head off. Bardock fell to the floor naked as Kaalor's headless body began to fall forward. Nail grabbed the tired Saya-jins body just in time and saved him from being crushed by the falling giant. Maron fell to her knees because all her energy was put into that one attack, "I…told….you….I… would….help…" she managed to say as she fell to the floor in exhaustion. Gotenks grabbed her and landed by Nail and Bardock. Jinja joined them. People began to cheer as they saw their dictator fall to the floor. "Well it looks like a human saved the day this time…" Goten said as he separated from Trunks. Nail nodded as he looked at the unconscious pair, "Bardock trained her well, even though he only saw Krillan's Kienzen once, he was still able to teach her…" Trunks grabbed his daughter and swung her around in the air, "I am so proud of you!" Jinja cried and hugged her father tightly. "Let's say we get out of here, huh Nail?" Goten said as they all grabbed hold of the weary Namek. "What about these people?" Nail asked. "They will figure out what to do themselves." Trunks explained as Nail nodded. He brought his fingers to his head and concentrated on Pan's ki. As the Changeling's came to thank their saviors, they vanished, leaving nothing behind but tattered clothing and a big mess.
"Unbelievable….they did it…" King Kai muttered. Piccolo and Goku gazed down at the King's shoulders as they saw Nail disappear off the planet. "Bardock's Oozaru form was incredible…and he was able to regenerate…" Goku said slowly. "And Nail can go….Super Saya-jin…." Piccolo added. They looked at each other for a moment, then Piccolo went towards his meditation spot, and Goku went into his hut, both laughing inwardly at the new potential their sons had. King Kai watched the two warriors separate, then, when they were out of hearing distance, "Trunks and Jinja are ok…" he said to the hidden Vegeta. The prince of Saya-jins nodded in concealed relief as he flew to his hut, wondering how King Kai could sense his presence. While everyone went to their respective areas, King Kai smiled and still could not believe how close the Earthlings always get to losing. "I will never understand these warriors…they never have an easy match, and yet they always pull through." He walked into his house and shut the door.
Master Roshi sat outside his house waiting for the warriors to get back, while Pan and Bra tried to rest inside. Roshi was dozing off when he suddenly heard Pan scream. "What is it! What is it!" He cried as he ran into the living room. He saw Nail, Goten, and Trunks, with Jinja in his arms, standing there, with Bardock and Maron unconscious on the floor. He sighed in relief as he realized that they were home safe. "Are they ok?" Bra asked immediately. Nail nodded and began to walk out. "Hey where are you going Nail-san?" Jinja asked as she jumped to the floor and ran after him. "I will let you guys have the reunion. I have much to reflect upon, and more training to do if I want to learn how to harness the power of Super Saya-jin. He also has some training to do…" Nail explained as he motioned towards the waking Bardock. "Why don't you stay, we owe a lot to you…I owe a lot to you." Trunks said. "Thank you, but I must go." Nail declined as he continued to walk out. Trunks nodded and turned back to his wife. Bardock sat up and appeared by Nail. "When are we gonna meet up again?" he asked. "You know where to find me." Nail said with a smile and a pat on his friends shoulder. He flew off into the distance. Bardock walked back inside and helped Maron to a couch. Jinja stayed outside and watched Nail until he disappeared. She stood outside for a little while longer, then powered up and flew after him. Trunks and Pan ran outside, "HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING???" Trunks yelled after her. "FINISH MY TRAINING!" Jinja yelled back. "Well I know why my grandmother didn't like Piccolo…" Pan said only half-kidding. Trunks put his arm around her and walked back inside. "Hey, where is Goten?" Bardock asked as he put an icepack on Maron's head. "Come to think of it…Bra is gone too…" Pan remarked. Master Roshi had a sinister smile on his face, "Bra went to show him something…" he managed to say before he burst out giggling like a madman. "Well, since Jinja is gone, I guess we will go. Tell Goten and Bra we said bye!" Trunks said as he grabbed Pan's hand and flew out of the house, leaving Bardock and Maron alone in the living room.
Maron's eyes slowly opened. The first image she saw was Bardock's excited gaze, looking back at her. "What happened?" she managed to say. "You saved the day, it's a good thing I trained you…" he whispered back to her. "You used up all your energy so you may not remember it, but me and Kaalor were fighting, then you did your father's Kienzen, and sliced his head off." Bardock explained. She nodded with a look of vague remembrance and hugged Bardock. They separated and Maron moved in to kiss him, but stopped as they heard a giggling behind the couch. "Master Roshi…" They said to each other. Bardock helped Maron up, a little relieved that Roshi was there, "Well you can sleep in my room, I'll sleep here on the couch, ok?" Maron nodded and walked towards Bardock's room. Master Roshi walked behind Bardock and whispered, "You idiot…." then kept walking towards his own room. Bardock lay back on the couch and tried to relax. "How the hell did we get out of that one." Bardock thought to himself as he closed his eyes and let his weary body rest.
"Home sweet home…" Nail thought to himself as he flew over the desolate mountain area. He knew Jinja was following him, but he didn't let her know, he wanted to see what she would do. Jinja tried to sneak up on her teacher, and as she jumped out, he grabbed her and put her to the floor. "You were too noisy, these ears aren't just for looks you know…" Nail explained as he let her up, "Why did you follow me?" he asked her. She looked up at him, "I want to be trained like my Grandpa Gohan was trained." Nail nodded, "This will be tough training, last time I was training myself as well, this time my attention will be on you the whole time…" he warned. "I am ready!" Jinja said with overflowing determination in her voice. Nail smiled, "You truly are one of Goku's descendants. I remember the few years I spent with him, he always knew he could do something, no matter how unlikely it was for him to succeed." Nail smiled as he recollected. "We've had a long day, we will start tomorrow, tonight, just worry about resting up." He finally said. Jinja nodded. Nail began to meditate as Jinja tried to get comfortable on the rocky surface. "Sleep well, Jinja." "Good night Nail-san." Jinja said as she fell asleep, dreaming about the rough days of training ahead….
