I have a question for you guys. Would you like another crossover story in my AU? Perhaps into the world of a certain baldy who can end a fight with one punch...?


Bardock began.

"Many eons ago, the tree of light of Universe 3 bore a ripe, golden fruit. It simply radiated with life energy and magic, and it promised the coming of an exceptionally powerful Supreme Kai. The guardians of that tree rejoiced, for when that Kai would be born, it would mark the beginning of a new era. But then a war broke out in the mortal realms that turned all the Kais' attention away from the tree. I haven't looked too deep into that war, but what I know is that some planet split into two separate ones. Then the two began fighting against each other, and their conflict began affecting several parts of the universe. The Destroyer was asleep unsurprisingly during this turmoil, so the Supreme Kai of that time called every Kai to his aid in resolving this problem from behind the scenes. And in doing so, the tree was left unguarded."

The Grand Minister frowned. "How utterly careless of them."

"Most of the higher ups seem to think that its impossible for anyone other than themselves to enter their domain. Of course, that is not the case. The fruit attracted the attention of some peddler magicians that had survived the calamity. Lusting after it, they tore a rift into the Kais' planet and stole the fruit. They all took a piece and ate from it. Immediately, the powers of the Kais flooded their bodies, and changed them tremendously in physical form. Their own powers were enhanced to a great degree and they all received immortality. With it also came the knowledge of how to create life, although not to the extent of the Kais.

However. the fruit also gave them knowledge of the Destroyer whom they now understood was far more powerful than themselves even with their new powers. Fearing that he may come after them for vengeance, they fled to the farthest reaches of this universe, where they found this Earth. On it they found a bipedal simianoid race known as humans. They were quick to establish themselves as 'gods' among these people, and they became known as the ones above Olympus."

Diana jumped at the mention of her deities. She saw her comrades giving her questioning and alarmed looks. Shaking her head, she communicated to them via the telepathic link.

'No. I don't know anything about this.'

'Diana... what did he mean when he said rapists?' she heard Kara's voice ask her. Diana shook her head again.

'I'll explain later.'

She sounded very miserable to her comrades. Unbeknownst to them, Bardock could hear their mental conversation, and he inwardly snorted. While doing his 'research' before coming to the third universe, he did a study on all the possible opponents he could face in this sector. Martians were supposed to be known as one of the greatest telepathic races out there. This Martian surely had to be a rookie because there was no way it was this easy to intrude in their discussion undetected.

'You still have some ways to go yourself.' he heard his master's voice in his head. Staring at the old man's face, Bardock saw no change of expression. But our Saiyan had known this man long enough to catch that smug gleam in the Angel's eye. Considering this was they same man that had whipped him into the shape he was today (literally, mind you), it wasn't surprising that the Grand Minister knew some way to worm into Bardock's mind without him realising. Shrugging off the slight irritation, he continued narrating his story.

"But as to be expected of petty thieves, many criminal minds aren't better than one. They began fighting one another for the right of dominion over their glorified pantheon. They went as far as devouring their own children to secure their place on the throne. Eventually the youngest child seized the throne and established his rule." Bardock scrunched his nose in disgust. "But I tell you, he was the most vile of all of them. He cohabited with his own sister, and begot incestuous offspring whose conflicts tore across the entire globe."

Diana once again felt that spark of anger flowing through her veins. But she chose not to do anything. Not that she feared Bardock but because of the man in the projection. While she knew that he wasn't physically there, he still somehow filled the atmosphere with tension. She chose that if she were to attack the Saiyan, it would be when he wasn't talking to the blue man.

The Grand Minister kept a straight face, but his tone was not the same as it was before. "Filthy indeed."

"And that is not the worst of it. He urged his own children to do the same thing. As if it wasn't bad enough he went unto his own sister and begot vile spawn, he fornicated with women amongst the humans and tossed them aside like objects when he had his fill! Again his children followed the same example."

By now Bardock held an expression of uncontrollable disgust and rage and was drawing deep and loud breaths. Calming down, he regained his composure and continued.

"These blasphemers agreed upon one thing though. There was no guarantee that no-one would seek them out and enact justice upon them. So with the wisdom they'd stolen from the Kai's, they created a weapon known as the Anti-Life equation. A complex mathematical formula that would strip creation of their free will, the most precious gift given to them. But the fools were not as powerful as a true Supreme Kai. They could not use the power of the equation alone. It required them working together. But obviously with some of them dead and all of them fighting against each other, that was impossible."

"And you understand why I sent you to retrieve it?" his mentor asked. Bardock smiled.

"Yes. The Olympians created this formula by writing down the opposite of the life-equation, the formula the Kais use. But I am a warrior of Universe 7, not universe 3 and therefore a product of a completely different formulation. As such, the equation would have no effect on me." Bardock was silent for a moment. "I have to ask why you sent me to do this task? Tarro had a free schedule and wasn't really occupied with anything?"

"Because Tarro acts too rashly and is excessively dependant on his Saiyan instincts. He would not have brought these criminals in alive. And his obsession with surpassing you is not unlike Vegeta's with your uncle. That pretty much takes up his entire schedule. I can't tolerate fusses."

There was another silence. The hidden superheroes were drinking all this information in. Everything they had heard so far was almost unbelievable. I say almost because time and time again what they had thought impossible had very suddenly become quite possible. They were tired of assuming they had a grasp on reality after having so many nasty surprises and now they were the much wiser for it.

"Juno!" they heard Bardock shout. "We are to jump to ultraspeed immediately. Set the course for Con Ton city!"

"Affirmative Lord Bardock. Preparing for ultraspeed. Command shall be executed in five minutes."

The Justice league were immediately alerted to this and started to panic.

'Okay team. We can't stick around here. We need to get out of this ship.' Superman said to his comrades through their mental link.

'We need to get past him first if we're gonna go back the way we came.' Wonder Woman gestured to Bardock.

"I say we go quietly. If he turns on us, you have to test my theory and grab his tail Clark.' Batman thought.

'Roger.'

'When I give the signal-'Batman was cut off from his train of thought.

"I shall speak to you again later Bardock." the GM (I'm calling him that from now on.) declared.

"I have something else to tell you my lord."

"Really? Please inform."

"There is one amongst the Olympians whom I have spared. Whilst on his imaginary throne, the Olympian king created this counterfeit species to add more to the drama which he so enjoyed orchestrating. He did so with the help of a man-hating daughter of his, and called them Amazons. A species meant to consist only of females. These females were granted superhuman strength and alluring feminine beauty. Their aim was to bring 'peace' to the world of man. But with how much corruption the Olympians had spread amongst mankind, those females were enslaved by those men and tortured in unspeakable ways.

It was this event that sowed a deep hatred for the male gender in those women. Eventually, the women rebelled against the humans and fled to an island haven created by their maker. There they stayed building fortresses and temples while honing their battle skills for what purpose I really don't know. But these barbarians did not let go of their hatred. For centuries now they have captured men and boys that washed on their shores or from ships that passed near their borders. Forcing themselves onto those innocent men, the reproduced through such actions then mutilated the men when they were satisfied. And if the babies were born male, then they were drowned."

Finally understanding what Bardock was talking about earlier with the pointy-eared girl, the league turned to their Amazon comrade with looks of disgusted horror. Diana became very self-conscious at this moment and looked to Batman for help.

"Shocking and disgusting as it is, how is this relevant?"

"The promiscuous old fool had an affair with the Amazon queen, and spawned a daughter they called Diana. Unlike her sisters, she felt that she was bound to the original duties of the Amazons however deluded they were. Leaving the hidden island, she joined an association of defenders that protect this planet who call themselves the 'Justice League'. They are very committed to protecting this planet as it seems they all have a stake in this world. She does not carry the same loathing of men that her sisters carry nor has she ever touched a man in a sullying way. She is a valuable asset to her team and for that I have spared her."

"That is also a reason why you were suitable for this job. Tarro would not have paid attention to such detail and would have finished her off."

'Diana...is it true?' Supergirl asked sounding unnerved.

"Of course it is true!"

They all jumped at the sound of Bardock's voice and quickly turned to see him looking right at their hiding places. "You might as well come out now."

They emerged from their hiding spots breathing hard with disbelief. The most shocked amongst them was J'onn. How had he not sensed Bardock eavesdropping on their mental conversation?! He should have been able to feel the disturbance! They jumped out of their hiding places, ready to attack.

"Your pathetic mental shields are child's play to me! I knew you were here the whole time."

The Grand Minister looked on in amusement. Wonder Woman snarled and leapt at him with all the speed she could muster, and swung her sword in a wide arc for his face. What happened next could only be seen by those who could comprehend light-speed. Bardock opened his jaw and clamped down hard on the blade with his teeth, shattering the weapon into many splinters. For those who could not move at the speed of light, they knew what had happened when they saw Diana's broken hilt, the many splinters on the floor and a piece of her blade still between the Saiyan's jaws.

Diana was beyond dumbfounded at this point. So much so that she didn't see the oncoming backhand Bardock sent her way. her body was flung across the room where she collided with a wall and slumped down unconscious. Bardock then spat the broken piece at Batman where it ripped the Batarang out of the Dark Knight's hand. Bardock punched the air, sending a small shockwave that hit home right into the bat's stomach. Bruce spat out more saliva than he ever thought possible in a person's body before his eyes rolled and his body collapsed to the ground with a resounding thud.

Enraged, the three Kryptonians launched towards their enemy, with Clark intent on testing out Batman's theory. Bardock held out his left palm and a red orb of ki formed in it. Immediately the Kryptonians were overcome by severe exhaustion and they dropped midway during their flight, their bodies tumbling across the floor and coming to rest near Bardock's feet.

"Pitiful. To think a species as powerful as you think you are could have weaknesses so easily exploitable." commented Bardock. He then held out his right palm to block a stream of magical lightning which Marvel blasted out him. The spectators to this confrontation watched as Bardock condensed the lightning into a ball of magical energy. Marvel stopped his attack as his eyes widened. He'd read enough comics and watched enough movies to guess what was about to happen next.

"A taste of your own medicine kid!" Bardock thrust the palm forward and from the magical orb came the exact stream of lightning targeted for Marvel. (This scene sound familiar to anyone?). The magical lightning hit Billy right in the chest and he screamed as his body spasmed under the influence of the electricity before the current ended. Steam rose of him as much of his body moisture evaporated before he fell on his back half-dead. Flash was about to take off running around Bardock like he usually did with adversaries to confuse them before he felt a hand around his throat. As he was lifted a good few feet, he stare down in fear at Bardock.

"H-How-" Flash stuttered before he was cut off.

"-did you not see me coming? Where I come from, light speed is kindergarten stuff. I think I'm beginning to see exactly why Universe three brought mostly robots to the Tournament of Power. I would not have much faith in those with flesh from this universe myself."

Bardock saw his remaining opponents about to strike with J'onn becoming intangible, and decided to end it once and for all. Bardock's eyes flashed green for a second. All those still conscious, including the super trio on the floor felt a small prick in the back of their brains and their visions began to darken. J'onn was the last to fall as he desperately fought back against the mental attack but to no avail. Right before he blacked out he heard Bardock speak.

"Sleep well mortals. When you wake up, you will never be the same again..."
