Chapter 5: Angry Spirits

Goku glared at Bardock as he got into his fighting stance. To his suprise, Bardock smirked and charged a powerful energy blast in his hand.

"Let's see how strong you really are," Bardock said, he then threw the energy blast at Goku. Goku smirked and easily caught it, throwing it at the wall of the cave. "Impossible! N - Nobody has ever destroyed that energy blast!" Bardock gasped.

"We all know that's a lie," Vegeta said, stepping forward. The whole group turned to him, confused. "Frezia destroyed it with the Supernova that destroyed Planet Vegeta. He tried to stop the blast, but was caught into the Supernova. Somehow, he is still alive standing right in front of us. You need to be careful, Goku, if he can survive that Supernova, he's more powerful than we originally thought."

"Oh, dream on, I did not survive the Supernova," Bardock said.

"Then how are you still alive?" Vegeta asked, stepping forward threateningly.

Bardock smirked and grabbed out the 6 star Dragon Ball. "I was revived by these balls. The Dragon Balls, I believe."

"Who brought you back?" Vegeta asked.

"I did," a female voice said. The whole group turned to the source of the voice. She was a Saiyan with short brown hair and black eyes. "I am the one who revived Bardock."

"Who are you?" Goku asked.

"My name is Gine. Why do you look exactly like Bardock?" she asked.

"Gine, this is our little Kakarot," Bardock said.

"Kakarot?" Gine asked, a hopeful smile growing on her face.

"Yes, that is my name," Goku said. This is just getting weirder and weirder! Goku thought. "How do you know my name?"

"I am your mother," Gine said, walking over to Goku. Tears formed in her eyes. Goku backed away, not trusting her. "Is it really you? Are you a Saiyan?"

"Yes. So is Vegeta over there," Goku said.

Vegeta, who had been calmly leaning on the wall, jumped up, anger burning in his eyes. "Leave me out of this!" he spat.

"Prince Vegeta?" Gine asked in suprise.

"Yes," Goku said. "Anyway, weren't we fighting, Bardock?"

Bardock snorted and got into a fighting stance. A smirk appeared on his face and he began to slowly circle Goku. Goku instantly got on the defensive. Bardock threw a strong punch, sending Goku flying into the wall of the cave. Craaash! The wall of the cave came crashing down, crushing Goku underneath it. The last thing they heard of Goku was the beginning of a Kamehameha wave.

"Ha - Me - Ha!" Goku shouted from underneath the rubble.

"No!" Bardock gasped. Goku hit his father head on, causing him to cough of blood. "Nice hit. That was very strong, Kakarot."

Goku watched in shock as Bardock recovered and began to walk towards him threateningly. Goku backed against the wall. Bardock smirked and fired a powerful energy blast at Goku.

"GAHHHHH!" Goku screamed.

"Kakarot!" Gine screamed getting in front of her son.

"Gine?!" Bardock gasped, dismissing another energy blast he was preparing.

"Enough. This has gone far enough," Gine said, causing Goku to look up in shock.

"Gine," Bardock whispered.

The entire cave fell silent. Suddenly, the large wolf spirit came into the cave, followed by the other beasts they had defeated.

"How dare you disturb this sacred cave with your useless battles?" the beast with the spear like tail hissed.

"We are here to defend this cave from people like you. We hate having to do this, but we will ask you nicely. Please leave this cave, or you will die," the beast with the whip like tail snarled.

"Tell us, who are you?" Goku called.

"I am the Spirit of the Fallen, Udana," the wolf spirit said, his tail lashing.

"I am the Guardian of Hope, Spina," the beast with the spear like tail said.

"I am the Spirit of Time, Pila," the beast with the whip like tail said.

"Great spirits, why did you attack me?" Tien asked, respectfully.

"We attacked all of you. For some reason, these two knuckleheads decided to attack you first," Udana replied.

"You were the first person I smelled. I did not know that there would be more of you," Spina said.

"You looked like a good meal. All of you, not just him," Pila said.

The whole group looked at him in horror. Spina slapped Pila with her tail. Pila growled and stomped off, his tail waving in the air. Udana angrily looked at Pila, his eyes were not friendly.

"How dare you, Pila?! We are guardians of this cave, we do not hunt, we only eat the rocks of the cave," Udana growled, swiping his claws across Pila's face.

Pila whimpered and ran across the cave. Spina glared after Pila. Goku listened to the guardians in shock. They are acting like a family. Are they one big family? Goku thought.

"What are we going to do to this cave, Mother?" Pila asked.

"I don't know. Father?" Spina said.

"We will destroy it. Along with anyone else in it," Udana declared.

Goku's eyes stretched wide and he yelled, "Run!"

But, the group had already started running.

Bardock led Gine out of the cave. "I think I know a way for us to escape."

"Tell me," Gine said.

"This way!" Bardock urged, shoving Gine into a dark hole. "It's how I got into the cave. Somehow, Udana had managed to find me, but he let us pass with...a warning not to fight anyone. Gine, I need to find the spirits, go on without me!"

"No! Bardock, don't go! I don't want to lose you too! I already lost Kakarot and Raditz. Please don't leave me," Gine said.

"You haven't lost Kakarot, he is strong, he will push through this," Bardock said.

"Who was that woman? Who was that child?" Gine asked desperately.

"They were Kakarot's wife and son," Bardock replied.

"He is married?" Gine whispered.

Bardock took the opportunity to run back towards the spirits. The last thing he heard before the rocks closed his connection to her was her shouting his name desperately. Bardock fought back the tears trying to rise within his eyes. He was Bardock, a Saiyan warrior, who would do anything to defend his family...at any cost.

Shards of rock hit his arm, causing it to bleed. Bardock forced back the hiss of pain rising in his throat. The pain was minor, compared to the pain he had endured. He remembered the searing pain of Frezia's Supernova. The urge to get out of there while he still could. Why did he have to be such a hero? Why couldn't he be like most other Saiyans?

He did not want to be special. At least, he thought he was, until his little Kakarot came around. He always knew he would be a great warrior. He turned the corner and ran into Vegeta, the Namekian, the three eyed person, a teenager that he just noticed, Chi Chi, Goten, and Kakarot. They immediately got into offensive positions when they saw him. Bardock just tried to push past them, focusing on the mission at hand.

"What are you doing?" Kakarot asked.

"Trying to stop the spirits," Bardock replied.

"You're insane," Vegeta whispered.

"Always have been, Your Highness," Bardock said, beginning to run towards the spirits. "Oh great Guardians of Time, Hope and the Fallen, please forgive us and stop destroying this cave!"

He tried not to get embarrassed as the guardians looked at him.

"CAN WE TRUST YOU TO LEAVE IN PEACE?" all the spirits boomed.

"Yes, O Mighty Spirits," Bardock said.

"VERY WELL, JUST DON'T FIGHT ON THE WAY OUT. DON'T COME BACK," the spirits boomed.

"Thank you, your kindness is deeply appreciated," Bardock said.

"LEAVE, BEFORE WE CHANGE OUR MINDS!" the spirits hissed.

"Of course," Bardock replied, he then ran as fast as he could to the others. "I changed their minds for now. Let's get out of here while we still can."

"Right," Kakarot replied, a serious expression on his face.

"How do we know you aren't lying?" Vegeta questioned.

"Why would I lie to you?" Bardock asked.

"Just saying, I mean a second ago, we were nearly locked in battle," Vegeta said.

"Reasonable fear," Bardock said.

"Oh, so you are admitting that you are lying?" Vegeta asked.

"You are a fool, you know? Now, let's get out of here. These spirits are pissed," Bardock said.

"We know they are pissed, but how do we know you aren't just trying to get us out of the way?" Vegeta said.

"This will be a long day, well, let's just go," Bardock said, he then left the area, not looking behind him.
