Chapter 2: A New Threat (Reboot)

"Who are you? How do you know my name? Where did you come from? What do you want?" Kakarot asked.

"I am Bardock. And I am your father," Bardock said. Talking to that frog really payed off! Take that, humiliation! Bardock thought.

"My father? Then that would make you a Saiyan! Have you come here to destroy this planet!? Because, I won't let you!" Kakarot said, turning Super Saiyan and getting into his fighting stance.

Bardock's eyes widened in dismay.

"So it's true, you are the legendary Super Saiyan, Kakarot. I'm so proud. Now, let's see how much you have grown!," Bardock challenged, getting into his own fighting stance.

Kakarot grinned and threw a kick at Bardock, only missing by an inch. Bardock's eyes widened as he barely dodged out of the way of the powerful kick. Incredible, he's grown stronger just by staying on this measly planet! How!? He was only expected to be a Lower-Class Saiyan! His power level, I must check it!Bardock thought. He then used his scouter to check his son's power level.

His eyes widened with shock. A power level greater than 9,000! When he was an infant it didn't even exceed 2! How much has he grown? He thought, fear washing over him. This is going to be a lot harder than I originally thought. I must re-think my strategy!

Suddenly, Kakarot threw a powerful punch at Bardock. He barely had time to react before Kakarot punched him in the face.

Bardock flew into a tree, feeling shocked as his back struck it, hard. Bdoom! The tree crashed down, nearly crushing Bardock. He was showered with leaves and twigs. Kakarot then grabbed Bardock's tail, Bardock cried out at his son's mercy and struggled to get free and stop the pain.

"My turn," Bardock said, panting.

He wrenched his tail out of his grip with a pained grunt, and put his tail around his waist and began charging an attack. Kakarot instantly got in a defensive position, preparing for Bardock's attack. Now, my son, this will show me if you are a true upper class Saiyan! Bardock thought, he then fired a powerful energy blast.

"Ka .. Me .. Ha ... Me ... Haaaa!" Kakarot cried out at the same time.

A blinding light encircled the clearing. Bardock struggled to keep control of his energy blast. Kakarot was overpowering Bardock. Soon, the strange energy blast engulfed Bardock.

"GAHHHHH!" Bardock bellowed out in pain. He landed on the ground with a sickening thud. He managed to stand again, though blood pooled out of a large wound on his arm. He panted as he looked down at his arm. To his shock, it had been completely blown off. Bardock soon began to lose consciousness. Then, he was engulfed in complete darkness.

"Goku, how could you? He's your father!" Chi Chi snapped.

"Is that your thanks for me risking my life to save you?" Goku responded, bristling.

"What is going on here?" Vegeta asked, approaching Goku and Chi Chi.

"Bardock? Goku, did you fight one of the strongest Saiyans just now?"

"Yeah, sort of," Goku said, scratching the back of his head.

"You idiot! Because of your actions, half of the Saiyans could -" Vegeta began.

"Bardock? Bardock, are you there? Pick up the damn scouter! We don't have time for this, Frieza just sent the order for us to report back to Planet Vegeta!" A voice shouted back frantically through Bardock's scouter.

Vegeta picked up the scouter, and shouted into it, "Bardock is not going to respond any time soon!"

"Who said that?!" The voice on the other end asked.

A smirk grew on Vegeta's face. "Prince Vegeta," he replied, smugly.

"P - Prince Vegeta?! What are you doing with Bardock's scouter?!" The surprised voice said incredulously.

"Well, Bardock is... out of commissioncurrently," Vegeta said, laughingly. Just then a loud groan came from Bardock. "Damnit, I thought he would be out for a little while longer!" Vegeta spat, under his breath.

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness? Why would he be out of commission? Is he hurt?" The man's voice responded from the scouter.

Suddenly, Bardock rushed forward and grabbed the scouter, scattering blood drops everywhere.

"It's a trap! It was one of Prince Vegeta's allies! I lost my arm, and well, yeah, it's really bad," Bardock shouted into the scouter urgently.

"B - Bardock?! What happened?!" the soldier gasped into the scouter.

"I came to Earth to try to conquer it, as usual, then I ran into my son, Kakarot," Bardock said, glaring at his son.

"K - Kakarot is alive?! How!?" They shouted back, astounded.

"I don't know. But I advise that you come here now," Bardock said, sternly.

"R - Right!" The soldier replied, then immediately after the line went dead.

Goku had listened in on the entire conversation. Now worried, he walked over to a grinning Bardock.

"I'm disappointed to have you as my father. You're a monster! A monster who must be vanquished from this planet. Your help won't arrive in time to save your ass. Because, I'm going to kill you before you have a chance to kill anyone on this planet! I won't let you destroy this planet! And I won't let you kill any of my friends!" Goku said, threateningly.

"Oh, you won't let me kill your friends?" Bardock said mockingly. He then grabbed Chi Chi and Goten. "I'll take these two and be on my way," Bardock said, he then flew off.

"NO! CHI CHI! GOTEN!" Goku yelled to the sky. It was too late, Bardock was gone, along with Chi Chi and Goten. Goku had failed.
