A/N: Yes, I know. This took a while. It's also not that great of an ending I don't think, but it's an ending.
Chapter Twelve - End of Battle
Bardock dropped under the fist and then slammed his own into Sanil's stomach. Gohan moved in from the right and smashed his foot into the Namek's head as Bardock flipped around behind him and shot a kick at his back. Sanil dodged to the left and backhanded Gohan at the same time, and then kicked Bardock in the face. The two Sai-jins regained control of their flight at the same time and shot in at him again.
As the three warriors exchanged blows high above the city they moved steadily further away. Meanwhile, on the streets below, the cities population watched on in awe as they emerged from hiding once more. All save for those jumping away from the speeding air car. With Bulma driving it only took a few moments to reach the location of the fallen Sai-jin warrior. Roshi and Krillin retrieved her body and placed it in the back of the car before they then moved to where Piccolo still was about a mile away.
By the time they reached him he was awake again and back on his knees still fighting to get to his feet, Videl at his side trying to help him up. With Krillin, Roshi, and Hercule's help the battered Namek was moved into the air car as well. "We'll get you two back to the embassy and into some Regen Tanks." Bulma said looking at them. Neither looked all that great and both were covered in blood.
"Where's Gohan?" Videl asked.
"He's okay." Krillin said. "Him and Bardock are still fighting that guy..." Everyone standing around the car looked into the distance as a thunderous crack echoed through the sky, a brilliant flash of gold accompanying it. They watched as a streak of gold surged by overhead, stopped, and then shot off toward the continuing sounds of battle.
As Gohan reached the fight again Bardock was smacked toward and through a near-by cliff. The young Sai-jin smashed a fist into Sanil's face, dodged a punch, and then landed a kick before being hit with a punch. He continued to exchange attempted blows with Sanil as Bardock floated into the air panting. /Well, there's still one thing I can do.../ he thought. He shot in quickly and caught Sanil off guard with a hard kick that smashed him down through the trees and into the ground.
"Gohan, I'm going to give the Spirit Bomb another try, I need you to keep Sanil off of me until it's ready."
Gohan nodded and then charged down toward Sanil while Bardock dropped out of Super Sai-jin and raised his arms above his head. The short Sai-jin reached his opponent just as he was getting back to his feet. The two began to trade blows once more and Gohan did his best to move Sanil further away from his Grandpa.
Back in the city Krillin and the others had just reached the Embassy again. Hercule and Roshi were taking Piccolo and Videl in to the med bay and the Regen Tanks. The others were looking off toward the flashes of battle. That's when Krillin saw the shimmering energy drifting toward a point in the sky. "The... Spirit Bomb?! I didn't know Bardock could use it!" He grinned at this discovery. "Alright! We can definitely win now!" he cried raising a hand into the air and offering up all the energy he could. Chi-Chi, Bulma, Roshi, and all the others within the Embassy compound soon followed suit.
At the site of the battle Bardock cringed as a hard right hook smashed into Gohan's chest. /Just a few moments longer Gohan, it's almost ready... Wait! That's it!/ He looked down at Gohan and smirked. "Gohan! Give me your energy and we can end this!"
The young Super Sai-jin paused in mid attack, as did Sanil, and both looked up at Bardock. The Namek's eye widened in shock at the large orb of energy above the Sai-jins head. Gohan merely smiled and raised his hands. A second later he stumbled backward and fell out of Super Sai-jin, he no longer had the energy to sustain it. The orb of energy pulsed and then swelled, doubling in size with the addition of Gohan's power. The young Sai-jin used the energy he had left to fly out of the way as quickly as possible.
With a cry Bardock brought his arms down and the Spirit Bomb began its descent toward the still shocked and frozen Sanil. The Namek didn't regain his senses until the attack was almost on him and by then his raised arms was to little to late. There was a loud scream followed by a thunderous explosion that shook the planet. When the smoke, dust, and glare faded away it revealed a large and empty crater. Bardock landed at it's edge panting.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Bardock leaned back into his chair and relaxed. It had been a few hours now since Sanil's defeat and they'd finally managed to calm down the general population. Needless to say he and Gohan were both being called Hero's by everyone. Well, except for Chi-Chi, she was still calling them both crazy. Bardock smirked at that, his son had an odd taste for a mate. But then, Chi-Chi did seem to have a Sai-jin spirit to her.
He was in the main conference room now with Piccolo, Gohan, Bulma, and Krillin. In a few moments the large monitor in the wall would flicker to life as King Vegeta contacted them. So far only those on Earth knew about what had occurred. All that the Sai-jin King knew was that a battle had happened on the planet. None of the Empire's scouter systems had been directed towards the Earth during the battle so they had no idea how... impossible today had been.
Bardock was still having trouble grasping it himself. Not more than six months ago his youngest son had transformed into a Super Sai-jin. Now, today, both he AND Gohan had done the same. The fact that Goku was a Super Sai-jin was amazing, the fact that he'd become a Super Sai-jin was outstanding, the fact that Gohan had become a Super Sai-jin was... mind boggling. Gohan was a child. He was only seven years old... and yet he'd attained what so few ever had. The pinnacle of Sai-jin power. A level that had taken Bardock nearly forty-five years to reach.
The silence ended as the monitor flickered to life, filled by King Vegeta's face. "Bardock, it's good to see that you survived." Vegeta said with a nod.
"King Vegeta." Bardock replied with a nod of his own.
"So, what exactly happened? Who were these people?"
Bardock sighed. "Nameks. A pair of them, and damn powerful too. Both could have given Frieza a run for his money in an all out fight."
"Nameks? With power like that? Piccolo is powerful but..."
"I know." Bardock replied. "There's more sir. The unbelievable happened today. Things were going poorly for us, we were losing to the attackers... and then both Gohan and I transformed."
Vegeta's eyes widened. "You mean you...." Bardock nodded. "Show me what a Super Sai-jin looks like..."
Bardock stood and moved back from the table and closed his eyes. He'd only transformed once since the battle so far and it hadn't been easy. He focused, concentrated on the emotions that would push the change. His hair began to stand on end and flap slowly. It flashed gold a few times before his entire body flashed once, a rush of wind surging through the room. And then it was done. Bardock opened his green eyes once more and looked at King Vegeta again.
"Amazing..." the royal breathed. "Wait... you said that Gohan had... unbelievable..."
The conversation with Planet Vegeta continued for a couple more hours as Bardock filed his report with Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin's help. After that call ended another came through almost instantly. It was Yamcha and Hotaru this time. "Hey guys." Krillin said with a grin. "Man, you missed all the action. I'd have loved to have been there with you instead of getting beaten up here."
"You too?" Yamcha asked. "Well, you wouldn't have had much better luck here Krillin."
"What do you mean?" Gohan asked. "Did something happen?"
Yamcha nodded. "Yeah, you could say that..."
