I'm settin' em up, and knockin' em down. I am just pulling these things out of my ass, and they're actually half good. Well... Enjoy.





Return of the Prince







As the two full saiyans powered up Vegeta let out another burst of rage. His hair suddenly burst into a glowing golden, pure gold. Then it began to slowly grow out of his head. It grew about three feet longer until it was hanging down is back, down to where it was touching the back of his calves. The lightning crackling around him was tremendous, the first time he had gone Super Saiyan Three, and Goku was there to cram it in his face if he was not powerful enough. Though, he would not let this transformation be in vein.



The two spent time sizing each other up. They stared deep into the others eyes, plunging into the darkness of their powers. They stared for a long while, measuring powers, trying to figure what moves to make, and when to make them, to gain an upper hand in the start, and throughout, the fight.



Suddenly a rock burst from the ground and was sent flying into the air. The two jumped at this, using as a starting bell. The two did not have a leader, one did not jump before the other, instead they jumped at the same time, their powers had entwined themselves, for the moment. They disappeared at the start, only to reappear hundreds of feet above the ground. The two were locked with each other, fist in hand. Vegeta took a hard swipe with his knee at Goku's abdomen, Goku vanished leaving Vegeta there with his knee out stretched in front of him. Vegeta then disappeared, but Goku was not left there, instead he disappeared as well. Then began a series of thrown and missed kicks and punches and after images. Vegeta was suddenly torn in half, then the after image dissipated into nothing. Goku had a hole put through him before a snarl from Vegeta and nothing. Vegeta and Goku had obviously mastered their speed, but which was stronger could not yet be told.



(No, I won't leave you there, I'll come back to it later, but for now, onto Trunks.)



Bardock placed himself on the ground next to the crater he had just been laying inside of. He pulled what he had of his strength up and glared at Trunks, he then disappeared and reappeared behind Trunks delivering a swift kick to his back. Trunks flew forward and then disappeared, the after image left in front of Bardock vanished as well.



"Fooled you." Trunks said into Bardock's ear before delivering a hard strike into his lower back. Bardock bent over backwards with the blow and was then facing Trunks upside down. With his distorted view he didn't see much before he was, once again, forced through the soil below them. Bardock appeared in the sky and was ready to fire a ki blast when he realized that Trunks was not below him. He whipped himself around and saw Trunks with a look of sheer grim on his face. He raised his palm and fire, but his wrist was in Trunks' hand, and forced to the side. The blast was sent streaking off into the night. Bardock was flailed around above Trunks before being sent rocketing through the metal dome over the capitol city. Trunks quickly flew after him but had his attention caught by an enormous blast went off to the right of himself. He looked, but paid no attention, as it was the direction Bardock's blast had flown off in. But how could a simple blast such as that create such a tremendous blast, oh, no matter, in a few minutes I won't even be matter. He jetted through the hole that Bardock's body had created and flew down into the dark city. To him it seemed a lot darker now than it had before, and now he had even more light from his aura.



Trunks slowly turned around before spinning back to wrap his hand around Bardock's face. "You foolish, pathetic man. You dropped out of Super Saiyan so that I couldn't see your aura, but that decreased your speed and your power, leaving me with overwhelming odds. You have to be the stupidest person that I have ever fought." Trunks yelled at the man, now stringing from his palm. Bardock's hand came up and launched a blast into Trunks' lower abdomen. Trunks raised the man a little higher before casting him back into the ground.



Bardock did not show himself again. Trunks sat in wait for several minutes before becoming anxious. "Bardock, if you do not show yourself, than I will have to burn you out." Trunks screamed into the nothingness that lie before him.



A small voice came back, "Oh yeah, how are you gonna do that." Bardock was obviously very far away.



Trunks flew up into the very tops of the dome. His hands fell to his sides before being sent into a seemingly wild flailing, which were actually specially designed moves. He put his fingers together and yelled out, "Burning Attack." Suddenly a somewhat small ball of energy streaked from his fingers. The blast gained size before hitting the ground a letting off an gigantic explosion. The explosion filled all of Trunks' sight, but he did not move. As the blast subsided, nothing was left except a slightly deep crater, but it was enormous in width. Trunks spotted something left from the explosion and flew down to it. He hit the ground with his right foot then his left. He slowly approached the figure. Bardock was lying on the ground, nearly dead.



Trunks let his aura flow off of him as he dropped from Super Saiyan. He walked up next to Bardock and knelt down. He had let go of his saiyan side, he was now feeling empathy towards this man that he had striven so hard to destroy.



Bardock managed to get a few words out, "You put up a pretty good fight kid. But you have not only doomed me, but yourself as well. Your blast forced mine further in, soon it will reach the core and explode. Now please, do me a saiyan's honor, and finish me off." Trunks stood up and complied this time. His hand faced Bardock with palm flat, and a small blast began to charge. Before Trunks launched it Bardock muttered the words, "Thank you, my brother." Trunks released the ball and Bardock was no more.



(Told you I would come back to this.)



As Goku and Vegeta kept exchanging after image hits the routine almost became oblivious to Gohan, who was standing on the ground watching the whole fight. Goku had started to use instant transmission to get around Vegeta, he still proved to have the speed to keep up the fight.



Vegeta dodged to the left of a arm hook from Goku. As Goku, once again, disappeared into transmission, Vegeta tried his best to track him. Just as Goku was reappearing behind Vegeta he whipped around and launched a small ki blast into his chest. Goku flew through it, but was surprised at Vegeta's tracking skills. Vegeta had an opening, and took it. He delivered a sharp elbow to Goku's gut. His cringed in pain but then took his opening and sent Vegeta back with a right hook to his face. The two then cut the crap and lunged in at each other. The two would now decide who was stronger.



I would like to say that, first, yes, I know, Vegeta doesn't actually go Super Saiyan 3, I see that full well. But, I will use a newly created example from my friend, Gohan doesn't hate Goku for not coming back after the Cell Games, that's the beauty of a fan fic. But, other than that, I liked this chapter, killed Bardock, got Goku and Vegeta back into the inevitable fight, and trust me Gohan will have a big part later, but you won't get it unless you read these chapters. Please review, and know that it took a lot of will power not to put this in this part with Pac-Man getting high, if you would like that let me know, it will be funny.
