After Gohan exhausted his tears, he pushed slowly away from his grandfather. "Thank you I…I needed that." Gohan stood up slowly and leaned backwards against the boulder. He wiped his face with his arm and looked at his grandfather as if asking 'well what do we do now?'
Bardock watched him smiling; he stood as well and dusted off his pants self consciously as he stood. "Hey, I am your grandfather aren't I?" At Gohan's nod he turned his back to the boy. "Good, I'm happy you accept that now." Bardock shut his eyes in thought. Damn it, I hate to do this right after what he went through but…it has to be done. "Gohan I know about your powers." Bardock turned back to face Gohan. "You must show them to me."
Gohan jerked his head up in surprise. "B-but, h-how did you…?" Gohan's voice trailed off and he sighed starting to chuckle. "You're a psychic…of course…"
Bardock shook his head lightly. "No Gohan, I know about your powers because they knocked me senseless about thirty light years away. I will not read your mind; I found that out, it's just not right for someone to read someone else's thoughts. Especially when there is no reason to do so. The only reason why I did before is because I had to get information. But since I am here now, we can talk and I don't have to worry about using my power unless absolutely needed." Bardock crossed his arms and turned fully to face Gohan. "Now show me what you've got, Sayin!"
Gohan lowered his head in thought; panic quickly instilling in him. Should I…? I mean, he is a sayin, he is stronger than anyone on this planet…maybe he can help me…hell, Gohan relaxed marginally and smiled, It'll be worth it just to see the look on his face. Gohan hopped off the rock, landing a bit away from Bardock, a small line showing a hint at a smile on his face. "So you want to see what I got?" I can't go all the way…no, not when it's that…form. I'll only go to the second stage, that'll be enough to impress him I imagine. Gohan smiled, and brought his arms to his sides, cocking them so his wrists were locked at his waist. A cloud of dust formed around Gohan's feet, it rose and vaporized instantly as a strong gust of wind started to form around the young warrior. Gohan's hair rose on end and began to waver gently, as if a strong breeze were blowing stiffly through it. Gohan tilted his head back farther, looking up into the sky, his arms flexed tightly and a surge of power surged around him, he brought his head back down to the ground, then sharply shot his gaze at Bardock. Gohan stood there silently, his black hair still wavering in the air silently as he built his power. Then in one sudden explosion of light his aura swelled larger, bright golden rays lancing out of him and forming a whirl of light around his body, exploding as Gohan finished his form, he now stood there, a cocky smile on his face as his golden aura covered his body, his golden hair shining brightly then settling into a lighter golden hue. Gohan took a deep breath and centered his attention on Bardock standing a short distance away from him. But much to his surprise the warrior didn't have a look of shock and awe on his face.
"Oh come on Gohan, I know that isn't all you got!" Bardock's arms swelled and he screamed lightly, golden light pored out of him as he quickly erupted into the same state of super sayin that Gohan was currently in. "Even I can do this!" Bardock gestured to himself. "Now come on, show me what you really got!"
Gohan laughed, tilting his head back as he let himself enjoy this little surprise. Thank god I was right…he will be able to help. "I'm glad Bardock, I was hoping you were not weak, and you just proved me right!" Gohan squared his legs and took another deep breath. "But now I'll show you strong…" Gohan leveled his gaze off at Bardock, he had both his hands at his side, he slowly brought one open hand out in front of him, as it reached his chest he clenched it tightly into a fist. Immediately as his hand closed lightning appeared and began to swirl around his arm. Gohan opened his mouth, letting a light feral scream begin to rip it's way out of the back of his throat. By now Bardock did have his eyes open wide in surprise. Gohan's muscles swelled further, his hair shooting straight up into the air as Gohan's scream began to build. The lighting arched from his closed fist, lancing off and striking the ground and various debris. Everything it touched was incinerated on the spot. The twirl of lighting began to build; it slowly made it's way up Gohan's arm and onto his body. Forming over him like a shield of solid bright blue light. Even as the planet tore apart around his feet, Bardock still managed to hear Gohan's scream as he signaled the final push in his transformation. The shield around Gohan fluctuated once, then pulsed outwards, the lighting shooting off in various directions as Gohan's scream echoed across the land, his aura building higher and higher, as the earth caved in at his feet forming a huge crater, with a golden flame erupting from the center.
Bardock stumbled backwards in surprise, one arm shielding his face as a tremendous white light filled the sky, nearly blinding him. By God…Bardock was having trouble grasping what he was seeing. Not at how powerful Gohan was now…but the fact that he knew this was only a small portion of what Gohan had. I…I knew he his power was exponential but this…this is unbelievable…Bardock jerked his head up in surprise as Gohan shot up out of the crater, he floated in the air motionless except for his fiery aura surrounding him.
Gohan watched his grandfather, inwardly smiling even against the painful struggle in his mind to continue on with the transformation, almost as if his body was trying to reach that power, and didn't like how Gohan was denying it that privilege. No, I can't…I will not allow myself to lose control…I will not destroy innocent people again. Gohan raised his arms as he dropped down to the surface giving the elusion of the wind currents holding him up. He landed hard on the surface, the ground cracking as he landed. Gohan squared off his feet and flexed his arms slowly. "So, is this what you expected?" Gohan didn't look at Bardock, instead studied his arms, finally after a bit he dropped them to his side and looked at his grandfather. "Well?"
Bardock let a wide grin stretch across his face, and nodded lightly. "It's a start Gohan, it's a start." Bardock sighed deeply as he dropped the transformation, his hair dropping back down as his eyes turned back to deep black. "But I know you can go farther Gohan, and I also know your eyes weren't always the super sayin fear instilling green you have on you all the time. Your body is changing, your powers are changing with it, and you know it."
Gohan sighed and turned away from Bardock, the anger and anxiety plain on his face as he struggled to let the power that he had unleashed fade away. God why is this so hard! Gohan quaked with the power and pain, his aura flaring up slightly as he battled. Bardock made a step towards him, but stopped himself quickly. It was easy to see when Gohan won over, he relaxed immensely and his aura disappeared, his hair floating back down to his normal style. "I know." He turned back to face his grandfather with his still super sayin pain filled green eyes. "I know…but what can I do?"
Bardock shook his head trying to decide. "Well, we do have all the time we could possibly want. So lets take it slow and steady, there is no reason to rush. You will train with me Gohan, I will hopefully be able to coach you through the inner turmoil of your power and at the least be able to teach you a few things about normal fighting." Bardock gave Gohan a reassuring smile, then looked around them. They were in the middle of one of the many uninhabited forest areas of the world. Hmm…wonder where we'll be staying…I'm starved…Bardock glanced back at Gohan. "Gohan, there is one question I've been meaning to ask you, I know you have a lot more power than what you showed me, I know you had to unleash the power, my only question is…why? What was so pressing that it signaled such a need for that kind of overwhelming power?"
Gohan brought one hand to his neck and slowly rolled his head, he could hear it pop in a few places, after he was done and sighed, "Bardock I really don't want to talk about it right now, all you need to know is there was an enemy force on this planet and I had to stop them."
Bardock stopped himself from asking the immediate question of how the enemy that invaded the planet could have possibly been so powerful as to be able to best a super sayin, but refrained when he saw the look of sadness plainly displayed upon Gohan's face. I won't ask now…besides, he saved the planet, I'm sure one of the locals will be more than willing to dispense the story to me if I ask around. "Ok, maybe you can tell me about it some other time then."
Gohan nodded, pleased that the subject had passed. I think I need to talk to him about it sometime…go through with him step by step of what I remember of the transformation, But not now…not now.
Bardock grinned wide again as his stomach growled. Damn pesky thing. "So Gohan…where are we staying?" Gohan laughed as he heard Bardock's stomach growl again, both of them jumped up into the sky, letting they're bright auras explode into existence as they shot off towards the home of Marcus and Cindel, Bardock already happier than he had been in years because of the close kinsman ship he felt with his newly acquainted grandson, the last of the sayins.
Mean while, as the two sayins celebrated they're meeting, deep in space, on a huge dark planet, anything but happiness was in the air. For this was the capital planet of the empire, and the emperor to speak of, was not very pleased.
"What do you mean one puny warrior on that petty excuse of a planet single handedly destroyed one of my best fighting groups!?" The emperor growled out the last part, his fingers crushing into his armrest. The emperor was sitting on a large methandite throne. The monolith piece of furniture was enormous, an open display of power and wealth the emperor held, since there was only one tiny planet in the known universe that held that extremely rare and expensive material. The emperor himself was leaning back in the chair so the shadows of his court chamber shown down upon him, nearly completely masking him in the darkness, the only part of him that was visible were his dark penetrating red eyes. The emperor stared coolly down at one of his generals. The man in question was the leader of the southwest quadrant of the emperor's royal guard. Also the same man who had called the emperors attention to the brief power surge on the tiny planet of Nebzen.
"I-I don't know emperor, they were just, wiped out without a trace…" Glokin was the only general in the whole of the empire to have actually survived to serve into his middle-aged years with the emperor. He was a pale orange being, he stood around seven foot three, his face had pained, stress and anger lines on it, his dark black pebble eyes could make a person feel like they were on a dissection table. And his long flowing blue hair made him recognizable by all as one of the generals of the empire, all warriors under the rank of lieutenant and servants under martial law having to have short, or shaved hair to show they're insignificance. Glokin wore a tight fitting purple and red uniform, with a flowing black cape to show the exact extent of his ranking in the empire, right now Glokin was on one knee, his head bent down but his eyes still focused on the emperor as he contemplated this news.
"Well Glokin, seeing as I have never known you to be prone of over exaggeration, I believe maybe this might be a slight threat to the order of the empire. I cannot allow one tiny planet like that to subvert my power, because that would soon lead to all the planets trying to break free; and we cannot allow that to happen, can we?"
Glokin shook his head. "No emperor we cannot."
The emperor leaned forward a bit, the edge of the light just slightly touching his shadowy face. "Then fix the problem, immediately!"
Glokin stood crisply and saluted, bringing his hand to his chest then signaling the emperor with a bow of respect he turned on his heel, his cape flapping as it twisted around his body and snapped as he walked forward at a fast orderly pace.
The large frame doors slammed closed, signaling Glokin's departure to fix the problem on Nebzen. The emperor slowly leaned back into his chair, sighing as he contemplated these recent events. I just hope my general can dispose of the problem…I really don't want to have to get my hands dirty…
