'Er hem, sorry for the interruption, ladies and gentlemen,' the announcer says. 'Now, we move to the next match, U3 Bardock vs U8 King Cold.'

'So, the time for Freeza's father to fight has come,' U18 Goku says with a serious expression. 'But I wonder who that other guy is.'

'Err, have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?' U18 Vegeta asks.

'No. Why?' Goku casually answers.

Vegeta facepalms. 'He's Bardock, your father, idiot,' he cries.

However, Goku has directed his attention to the fight and did not listen to Vegeta's last words: 'Seriously, who is this guy? He does not remind me of anything. What race does he belong to?'

Bardock transforms into a Super Saiyan in front of Goku's eyes. Goku keeps wondering: 'Is he a Saiyan? A Namek? A Yardrat? Hey, maybe he's a Yoshi!'

Meanwhile, King Cold, currently in his 4th form, emanates a terrific power. 'Wow,' U18 Piccolo comments. 'In his 3rd form, he was as strong as Androids 17 or 18. Now he's as strong as Android 16.'

'Give up, Frost Demon,' Bardock says determinedly. 'I have seen your future and you're going to lose and end up in bad shape in a healing tank. I have seen all that in a vision.'

U16 Bra sneezes. 'Weird,' she mumbles. 'Why did I sneeze all of sudden?'

Meanwhile, Bardock and Cold have initiated combat. The Saiyan's speed/agility advantage is not great enough to make up for the Icer's edge in strength and durability.

'That guy whom I know nothing about and does not ring the slightest bell in me seems to be holding his own against Emperor Cold, but I can tell he's doomed,' U18 Goku comments.

Cold is now holding Bardock by the legs. 'Hah. Look at you,' he cries. 'You're upside down.'

'Actually, YOU are the one who is upside down,' Goku's father from another universe smiles provocatively despite his injuries. Then, he takes a more pensive expression and continues: 'Well, the terms up and down are vague anyway. According to physics, it all depends on some point of reference arbitrarily chosen by...'

'Just get to the point,' Cold sighs, still holding Bardock.

'Okay, this is my point,' the Super Saiyan answers very fast and begins pummelling Cold, thus releasing himself of the hold. Then, he pulls away and showers the foe with a barrage of blasts.

To the Saiyan's shock, though, Cold emerges from the smoke, with only cosmetic damage and his muscles buffed.

'Papa went to 100% in an instant!' Freeza cries, surprised.

'Incredible!' U18 Piccolo cries. 'He's now as powerful as Cell was when he absorbed Seventeen.'

'Err, why do you feel the need to specify, after every Cold's power up, which villain from the past is Cold's power comparable to?' Goten asks.

'And how do you remember exactly how powerful those villains, whom you haven't sensed for years, were?' Trunks asks.

'The answer to both your questions is the same,' Piccolo answers. 'Plot convienience!'

Meanwhile, King Cold has trapped Bardock in an energy sphere.

'Hey, guy I know nothing about,' U18 Goku cries. 'Do what I did when I was fighting Freeza. Escape the ball the moment it explodes.'

'I'm your father idio...' Bardock starts saying, annoyed, however, the next moment, Cold hurls the ball away with psychic power and the ball explodes.

'Contestant Bardock is unconscious. Contestant Cold wins,' the announcer declares.
