Chapter 9: Training Begins! Catch up with the Earthlings!
Author Foreword:FINALLY! I'VE SURPASSED THE OTHER STORY!
Anyway, My apologies lads, I've been busy. School stuff ya know. As an apology, I'll release this chapter and the next one will be out soonish, then another will come out around the end of the month, during Spring Break, anyway; Lets see what Bardock is up to now, and how Chi Chi will react to meeting Goku's parents!

"Uh, Dad, since we're arriving at Mom's house, aren't we gonna… y'know, get in trouble?"
"How so son?" Goku asked as they and Goku's parents flew, shadowed by Piccolo and the others
"Well, we're coming in unanounced, and I think some couples have some issues with looking ready when they meet with parents or parents in law"
"Oh Gohan, I think you're blowing it out of proportion! Chi Chi will be happy to see my parents!"
Gohan dropped back and looked to his Grand parents
"Uh… let Dad go in first. I think that would be wiser…." He said. The two saiyans nodded, and a sigh came from Piccolo…
XmXmX
"AAAGGHHH! Owwie! JEez Chi Chi, what's up!?"
"What's UP!?" Chi Chi threw a pan at Goku's head, denting the cooking utencil and causing some pain, but not as much to either "You leave here with Gohan and that green… Monster! And start training for who knows what, and now you're back!? I got a lot on my mind mister!"
"P-please listen Chi Chi!" Goku brought his arms up to defend himself as sharp cuttlery was obtained by his mad wife "W-we brought some guests! They're just here to say hi and they're new around!"
Chi Chi stopped, knives inches from his face "Well why didn't you say so!?"
Outside, Gohan fidgeted as Bardock and Gine stood around, dusting themselves off and such
"Well, I think it's going well... " Gohan muttered
"Wow, your mother seems quire… energetic."
"I'll say, beats some of the drill sergeants back on Planet Vegeta" Bardock added, picking his ear
"Well, it'll be a surprise."
Back with Goku, he helped Chi Chi clean up, and led her to the door
"So, who do they look like?! What are their names?!"
"Uhh… we'll have to see!"
"Why can't I know?!"
Slowly, Goku opened the door and stepped out with Chi Chi. There, they saw Gohan waving at her and two individuals, one of them looking like Goku
"Well Chi Chi, meet my parents, Mom, Dad, meet my wife Chi Chi!"
"Hi!" Gine waved
Chi Chi's eye twitched before she fell over
"Oh no, Chi Chi!"
"Agh! Mom!"
Bardock sighed. This could've gone worse…
XmXmX
"Owwww…"
A bruised and bandaged Goku rubbed his temple. After Chi Chi had fainted, they went inside, and Goku gave a tour while Gohan attented to Chi Chi. After she regained consciousness, she slapped Goku senseless until Gine and Gohan restrained her. Now they were all sitting at the living room
"It's s-so nice to meet you Chi Chi, I hope our son hasnt been trouble"
"Don't worry Ms Son, he hasn't done much. Just been absent alot." She laced the last sentance with venom strong enough to kill some of the dinosaurs that wandered the wasteland "So uh, you explained you were a cook too?"
"Oh yes! My husband, like our son, is mostly a fighter, leaving me to cook back home. I mostly butchered meat and tended to our sons…"
"My, how interesting! Tell me more!"
Bardock freigned disinterest as the two ladies connected, and Gohan just patted Goku. After their conversation ended, the group left, a speeding Goku leading them. As they returned to Piccolo and the others, Tora and Fasha looked at Goku and laughed, while Piccolo face palmed
"Chi Chi?"
"Mom" Gohan replied
XmXmX
"Haah!"
Bardock flew back, the force of Goku's fist sending him through a tree or two. Sprawled on his back, he barely had a second before his son's foot landed, dodging and kicking back. Goku's arm blocked both his kick and one from Piccolo. Sending the two flipping, Gohan launched 2 beams while Bardock wildly shot ki blast after ki blast.
"Heh, you'll need to try harder to finish me!"
Goku blocked some of Bardock's shots and dodged some of Piccolo's blasts. However, Bardock appeared behind him, aiming for his neck
"Aaaarrrgghh!"
Goku turned to the side, landing a gut punch on Bardock before he could land a blow. The stunned father clutched his stomach and doubled over. Meanwhile, Piccolo split into 2 copies, dashing at Goku
"Focus on your enemies, Goku!" They both roared. Goku parried and landed blows on the Namek, before kicking both of them over to a ditch, where they re-combined into one
"Urrgghhh…"
Piccolo crawled back up, then launched himself at Goku, both combatants equally matching eachother's movements. Gine helped Bardock up while Gohan watched with the two other saiyans, who seemed flabbergasted
"W-what a monster… no wonder he's ascended…" Tora commented.
"I can barely see their movements…"
"Yeah, eventually after we train you might be able to follow their movements." Gohan added. "Dad and Piccolo are some of the faster fighters, and definately the strongest right now. Hopefully we're prepared for the androids, where ever they may come from…"
"So we could also get that strong?" Fasha asked
"I hope s-so…" Bardock added as Gine half carried the battered Saiyan
"Er…. Gra- I mean Bardock." He remembered that Bardock took offense from being called "Old." Apparently they were only a little other than his father,"We've got two and a half years before the Androids come."
"So, Gohan" Tora looked at the youth, "Run it by us again, How exactly did these androids come about?"
"I only know from some explanations from Master Roshi and some of Dad's other friends… when he was a child, an organization called the Red Ribbon Army tried to conquer the world. Apparently their leader, Commander Red, built up the army to get the dragon balls and become taller."
He earned a few snorts and giggles
"Wait, he had a problem with his shortness?" Fasha glanced
"Er… yeah something like that. Anyway he and some ruthless military officials tried to take over the world, but then Dad came and beat them slowly until he killed Red and destroyed them as a whole. However, from what it seems a survivor or a group of survivors exist, creating artificial humans just to get revenge on Humans."
"Wow, they sound stupid"
"From the future guy we met, it seems like they killed everyone here, even Vegeta." Piccolo commented as he and Goku returned, "Even now he could be creating stronger androids."
"Don't be silly, Eight was harmless! And besides, it's not like they made 10 more or something."
"I don't know, imagine a 21rst android!" Gine clapped
"Still kinda bad at jokes as usual hun."
"Aww…."
"Well, let's have lunch, then let's see how we can arrange our training…!"
XmXmX
As a droid blew up, Vegeta kept bobing and weaving as more came around. By now he was at 250 times gravity, His kicks and punches required even stronger, titanium coated droids
They still didn't provide much challenge and got crushed easily, still gave him training nonetheless
As he got lost on his thoughts in the past week, his mind drifted to the new arrivals. He vaguely remembered something about a Saiyan who stood up to Frieza before the planet was blasted, but otherwise they seemed like lower class scum. The Prince grit his teeth; despite the praise, he was sure that with that damned Kakerrot becoming a super saiyan, they'd kiss his ass and ignore their true prince
"What impudence!"
He increased the speed of his attacks, destroying more procedurally generated drones, which still kept blasting at him
Kakerrot, the root of his envy and anger. The prince had hoped to surpass Kakerrot quickly, but still found hurdles and difficulties. Sometimes he caught himself with gold hair and turqoise eyes as he got angry and raged in some outland outings, but mostly he only found it lasting for a bare split second. That low class idiot just had to get the honor he didn't! And the boy….
A droid wandered too close to the prince, which he smashed harder than he needed to onto the floor, which crumbled and caused some tiles to be damaged. Vegeta, realizing his error, calmly walked to the console and shut down the pod, causing the red glow and most of the remaining droids to fall back to the dispensers. He stared at the destroyed droid and then his fist
"That woman won't like that…."
He looked around, before he got busy cleaning up his mess. Didn't want an angry purple haired woman to go ape and tear him a new one….
XmXmX
"Okay, so" Piccolo started, looking at the gathered Saiyans before him, "As we've discussed, for now Gine will not be participating in our training, leaving Goku, Gohan, Fasha, Bardock, and Tora. This means that leaves me to fight with one of you guys. Now then…."
"I'll fight with my dad!" Goku smilled, while Bardock just rolled his eyes
"I'll fight with you, namek." Tora admitted "If anything we gotta get stronger."
"That leaves you with me, young man" Fasha eased, earning a blushed downward stare.
"U-uum, I-I-"
"Don't worry, I won't hold any punches. I remember when my seargent beat me when I was your age for pranks I commited. I'm sure you'll be strong enough to handle me."
"Th-then I won't either" Gohan squeaked. Fasha merely smirked, sensing the fun she'd have with him, ah youth
"It's decided then" Piccolo spoke up "We'll find battle grounds through the wilderness. No need for killing moves or anything serious, just kicks and punches and maybe an occasional beam blast. Don't want to destroy the forest, or the planet for that matter.
"OKAY!"
XmXmX
"So wait, you destroyed several namekians?"
"Well, more like I destroyed his sons and his previous incarnation…"
Goku and his father walked down one of the paths, Gine trailing behind them with their food
"And you mentioned a "Tenkaichi Budokai"?"
"Oh yeah! The martial arts tournaments!" Goku replied heartily "Yeah, I had a tough time. We couldn't kill opponents nor could we step out of bounds of this tiled ring. It was kinda a blast when I had to fight Master Roshi and Tien. Those were tough ones. I had to quit right after the fight with Piccolo though. It caused havoc and I had to settle down with Chi Chi."
"Hey! I think I see a clearing!"
"Let's get to it then" Bardock wrung his shoulder "I wanna see what we could do."
"Okay!"
As they walked down the path, Turles watched, his scouter tracking their movements
"Heh, Kakerrot… you'll pay for the humiliation I suffered… and so will your friends!"
XmXmX
Will Turles initiate his master plan!? Will the Saiyans get as strong as the Earthlings? Could Chi Chi cope with having more mouths to possibly feed?! Find out next time on Bardock Kai!
Hopefully it wont be too long before the next one
Jemoph out.
