Chapter 16: Goku's happiness
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck
Bardock berates himself 'damn it I should have know Kakarot has been on his own for 12 years I should have known he didn't train his tail'Bardock says in his head 'but' Bardock begins looking at the masked fighter 'This fighter he grabbed Kakarots tail not even in a instinct way he a fight... no no he knew to grab Kakarots tail there is more to this fighter than I thought this is getting interesting' Bardock finishes.
"W-Wait so you mean Goku's tail is his weak spot"Krillin asks.
"That's exactly what I'm saying" Bardock answers.
"How disappointing" The mask fighter says hanging Goku up side down from his tail.
"I-I let my guard down"Goku states.
Baba begins laughing "Oh how the tables have turned boy you become lax when it comes to strengthing up my tail" Baba laughs.
"You can say that agian"Bardock mutters. Bardock then looks at Gine she has been quiet since Kakarot was supposedly hit with that kamehameha 'I should ask her what's wrong with her after we finish this up'Bardock says to himself.
"Damn how did he know his weak spot I thought only Chi Chi the Ox king's daughter knew about it" Yamcha says.
"I see" Roshi turtle hermit than moves as fast as he can which is very slow for Bardock and Gine to grab Bardock's tail but begins to cower as he sees the sayian veteran stand exactly the same as he sees the sayian glare daggers at him he smacks Roshi's hand off his tail and turns to the turtle hermit "Just what the hell was that old man an assassination attempt"Bardock says with venom in his tone, Roshi looks at the sayian in complete fear as his sunglasses fall to the bridge of his nose.
Everyone looks at Bardock in confusion in fear (save for Gine) knowing that they can't stop the sayian they just pray he doesn't kill the old man "No no no not at all"Roshi says quickly "I just wanted to test something out please don't hurt me I'm a harmless old man" Roshi pleads with his hands up.
Bardock looks into Roshi's eyes with mild anger but what Roshi felt was pure killing intent the turtle hermit has felt it before but his is different from anyone elses Roshi can tell just as Rossi feels that Bardock has made up his mind to kill him Bardock turns away from the old man and 'Hmmphs' loudly "Whatever just don't do it agian"Bardock tells the turtle hermit.
The old man was confused all the killer intent he sensed from the man was gone just in an instant Roshi's brain didn't even process that the sayian spared him for a few seconds Roshi gulps and sighs in relief and straightens his glasses looking back at the fight agian.
"That man sure is an expert if he figured out that weakness" Roshi conveys.
"But if that's that then that means that the fighter really is who I think it is "Roshi says aloud.
"What the hell are you rambling about now old man" Bardock asks.
""The fighter didn't grab Goku's tail out of coincidence he already knew Goku's weakness"Roshi tells him.
"What-What are you saying"Bardock asks in confusion.
"He knew about Goku's strengths,weakness and habitats for a long time"Roshi answers.
"I still don't get it"Gine states finally speaking again to Bardock's chagrin.
"Now then my boy are you ready"The fighter asks before violently slamming Goku into the arena floor multiple times.
Baba begins laughing "It's all over now it's all refreshing so wonderful'' Baba says.
The fighter continues slamming Goku's face into the ground over and over again.
"NO GOKU'S GONNA DIIEEE" Upa says crying. Everyone execpt Gine and Bardock as they look on anticipating what is going to happen next.
"Somebody do something"Upa says.
"Dammit Old Man stop keeping us in the dark who is he" Yamcha tells him.
"Yea Goku will die if we don't do anything"Bulma adds.
"Master Roshi please" Krillin begs.
"No we just have to wait and sees what will happens"Roshi tells them.
"WHAT"Upa exclaims.
"WHY" Bulma asks.
"This is a battle of destiny in which we must not interfere in"Roshi tells them.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS" Bulma yells at him. She whips around to look at Bardock and Gine "Aren't you two going to do some thing he is going to kill your son" Bulma tells them.
Bardock signs in annoyance "Humans" He mutters "Kakarot will be fine he still has sayian blood and if he loses and is some how killed... then the boy is no son of mine"Bardock finishes.
On that note Gine just looks at him with pure disgust on her face she doesn't say a single word though she just turns her head back to the arena.
"Are you serious he will kill your own son and you don't give a damn you are a real asshole you know that!"Bulma exclaims.
"Heh kid back on my home planet my job was going to planets and killing all of its inhabitants and selling the planet I started committing genicode since I was Kakarots age and you wanna know how many of them called me an 'asshole' "Bardock tells her smirking.
Bulma just steps back and looks at the man with a newfound emotion of fear and anger for the man.
"Anyway" Yamcha begins.
"What do you mean fight of destiny" He asks.
"Because"Roshi began "The masked fighter is Goku's late grand father,Son Gohan.
Everyone one looks at Roshi in shock at what he said.
Son Gohan continues slamming Goku over and over into the ground.
"So he's Goku's Grandfather" Krillin says.
"No don't be stupid he died a long time"Bulma says.
"You're right Son Gohan did die a long time ago"Roshi states.
"But look! he has an angel halo on his head"Roshi tells them.
"B-But why"Bulma asks.
"And also"Roshi turns to Bardock and Gine "He was the one to raise Goku when you were away"Roshi tells the sayians.
'Hmm so this weakling raised my son...not impressed'Bardock says in his head.
"Goku"Upa worries about his friend.
'Hang in their Goku if you lose now it will have been a waste for him to come all the way here'Roshi says in thought.
In a forest
A woman in a military uniform with make up on her face looks at a device while a dog in a ninja uniform works on the machine.
A blue child shaped figure starts up a robotic figure and tests it out by smashing rocks and crushing them with its hand.
"It appears all these latest weapons are all we need to destroy that brat once and for all"The blue child sized thing says.
The dog gets the device working as the screen shows the palace as the camera pans over to the fight between Goku and Gohan.
"There they have the dragon balls"The dog says. As the dog moves the camera over to see Gohan beating Goku.
"Wow that monster kids getting slaughtered"The woman dog turns up the audio and hears this from the masked fighter"You are unable to do anything when I grab your tail,your only weakness" Gohan states.
"Did ya hear that his tails his weakness"The dog says to the woman.
"Yes know all we have to do is tell emperor pilaf"The woman says as they run off.
The blue sized child who is know as Pilaf sips on some wine while he begins talking to his henchmen"Ah I see so his tail is his weaknesss"The Emperor says. "Ha I found the kids weakness all by myself"He says.
"This is excellent news Emperor Pilaf I was worried that what if the monster boy looks for the dragon balls again" The woman tells him.
Pilaf finishes his wine and begins to speak"Ah it seems like the Gods haven't abandoned me at all,they are telling me to become the Ruler of the world"He laughs.
Pilaf picks up a blue case with a red star"Anyway the dragon ball isnide this special case that I designed it won't show up on their radar so the brat won't get the seventh dragon ball"Pilaf states.
"But with are dragon radar satellite the dragon balls are ripe for the taking"Pilaf states.
"But Emperor Pilaf" The woman begins."Isn't he fighting Fortune teller Baba and the others, so that she'll locate the dragon ball in the special case"
"And if she finds it for him"The dog begins.
"FOOL she is obviously a fake and even if her fortune telling is true we still know his weakness"Pilaf tells him.
"But sir" The dog begins to speak.
"Oh what is it now Shu"Pilaf says know comfirming the dogs name.
"We have noticed two new figures"Shu tells him.
"And what about it"Pilaf says opening another bottle of wine and filling up his glass taking a sip.
"Well he have noticed that the other two figures look closely like that monster boy a male and a female as the male resembles him the most"The woman continues for Shu.
"Whatever its most likely just a coincidence Mai"Pilaf says to the woman who is know known as Mai.
"Sir well that is what we thought at first also so we upgraded the satellite to identify DNA and it shows that The man,the woman and the monster child are related identifying them as the boys parents"Shu tells the Emperor.
Pilaf spits out his drink "Wha-What so that means the monster boy has monster parents"Pilaf says freaking out but then he begins to relax.
"Wait do they have tails as well"Pilaf asks.
"Yes but they keep them tied around their waists" Shu tells him.
"Ah not matter as can still win with our updated Gadgets"Pilaf states.
"Its obvious who is going to win this battle with these demonic inventions my genius brain created we will not lose anyone who gets in our way will be destroyed"Pilaf tells them.
"Now Lets go get that Dragon ball"Pilaf commands.
They grab their robots and put them in their capsules."Now that boys six dragon balls are mine I'm not afraid anymore my destiny is to rule the world"Pilaf says as they get in their car and drive off.
Back at Baba's
Goku gets slammed into the ground again the sayian boy feels his brain bounce around in his skull as he feels his whole body is paralyzed the sayian boy is in so much pain he can't even scream.
'C'mon Kakarot you can beat this old man just think boy"Bardock says in his head.
Gohan continues slamming Goku around as the sayian boy wheezes in pain from being slammed around as his spine feels like it's crumbling.
"Well do you give up now"Baba asks.
"I suggest you give up"She suggests.
"N-Never"Goku refuses.
"C'mon Kakarot don't lose now!"Bardock yells out to his son.
"I-I won't l-lose D-Dad"Goku says.
'Wow Dad huh seems Goku has finally found his family that's amazing'Gohan says to himself.
"What a obstinate boy"Gohan calls him Slamming him crashing into the ground again.
"Don't you think he is being a little too violent"Bulma asks.
"God you humans are so fragile if he gets close to killing Kakarot he will get even stronger which I hope the masked warrior does"Bardock tells Bulma.
"That's nothing coming for you,you walking genoicde"Bulma spat at him.
"I agree I can't believe an old man can do something like this"Puar agrees.
"Goku"Upa worries.
"HURRY UP AND DO SOMETHING EVEN IF IT IS DESTINED IF THIS KEEPS GOKU WIll DIE"Bulma yells at Roshi as the old man is taken aback.
"Make him stop quit the match"Upa pleads.
"I agree stop this now" Yamcha agrees.
"The only way he will stop is if Goku concedes"Krillin tells them.
"Hey you lot, just shut up and watch the fight," Bardock says in a commanding tone.
At this comment everyone else gulps and watches the fight with no other comments.
"Hmm"Gohan thinks aloud resting on slamming Goku and looking at his friends "You have seemed to have made nice friends as they are all worrying about you"Gohan says.
Goku struggles to look over to his friend and family seeing their worried faces save Bardock.
"And you have met some...odd characters"Gohan refers to Bardock and Gine.
"Heh"Goku half smirks "That's my mom and dad and they can beat you with their pinkies"Goku brags about his parents.
"Is that so"Gohan says.'I agree with the boy,their power levels are incredible they can take over this whole planet if they wanted to espically the man'Gohan thinks looking over to Bardock.
"What are you doing the match isn't over yet keep fighting"Baba tells the masked warrior.
"Yes forgive me it doesn't matter that you made friends they have nothing to do with this fight"Gohan says and begins to slam Goku on the arena floor again.
"Oh I know how about we throw in the towel in certain kinds of fights you can throw in the towel in your fighter loses"Krillin informs.
"Is that boxing you're talking about"Bulma asks.
"Yeah that's it"Krillin says.
"So if we throw in the towel here tha-"Upa is cut off by a quick 'no'from Roshi.
"This is not a boxing match my sister wouldn't simply add in rules like that"Roshi states.
"But we can't just sit back here and do nothing and his 'parents' aren't even helping him"Bulma says using air quotes on parents.
"What's that suppose to mean Bulma"Yamcha asks.
"I'm just saying this whole time Bardock and Gine haven't said anything about Goku's pain"Bulma says.
"I haven't been able to sleep ever since I left Goku"Gine begins.
"Huh?"Bulma asks.
"I haven't been able to get a full nights rest ever since I left Kakarot every day I wondered if he was dead,corrupt or would even care about us"Gine explains beginning to tear up. Bardock rests his hand on her shoulder but the sayianess smacks his hand away and glares at him surprising the sayian.
"Gine I didn't"Bulma tries to apologize.
"What I'm saying is I would know if Goku would need help,if I ever felt that Goku was going to die I would have been stopped the fight"Gine says shutting Bulma up.
"I'm still not convinced I mean look at Goku he's in immense pain I'm going to stop the fight now"RanFan says.
"No Goku would have regret if the fight stopped now espically if he knew his opponent was Son Gohan"Roshi tells RanFan.
"But why does he have to fight to that extent"Bulma asks.
Out of nowhere a loud snap is heard everyone stops bickering among themselves and see that Gohan has ripped Goku's tail off.
"Holy"Bardock begins.
"Shit"Gine ends.
Everyone looks in shock at Goku running around the arena in pain placing his hands on his tailbone.
"Oh no his tail came off"Gohan says looking at the sayian boy currently in excruciating pain.
"Well that's good Goku's weakness is gone"Roshi says.
"For now"Bardock mutters.
"Oh you're right I am aware of Goku's tail's regeneration abilities" Roshi responds.
Bardock 'Hrmphs' crossing his arms "A sayian who has lost its tail is known as half a sayian as a tail is a sayians pride"Bardock states.
"Well that may be true but for now Goku doesn't know how to make that weakness a strength so it worked in his favor today"Roshi tells him.
"I guess" Bardock responds uncrossing his arms.
"So this means that Goku can fight back"Krillin says.
Goku glares at the masked man angrily "How dare you tear my tail off"Goku spits with venom in his tone.
"Yay Goku" Krillin says.
"He can win" Bulma cheers.
"Now I'm mad"Goku tells The masked slides in his fighting stance and inches closer and closer to the fighter.
Before Goku can attack The masked fighter begins laughing and says one shocking word "I concede"He says.
"What did you say you can see"Goku asks.
"DAMMIT DONT ACCEPT THAT KAKAROT KEEP FIGHTING"Bardock yells out to his son.
"There's that happy smell again"Goku says aloud to himself.
"I said I concede defeat.I lose"He tells the sayian boy.
"I guess there was no avoiding it"Baba says regretfully.
"Goku you have become so strong you have done well to train so far"The masked fighter complements.
Goku is taken aback by the masked fighter 'Why did he concede, how did he know his name' those questions ran through Goku's head.
"H-How do you know my name" Goku asks.
"But it still seems you have failed to toughen up your weak tail Goku I told you about that many a time hopefully your father can fix that problem"The fighter scolds.
"W-Wait you c-couldn't b-be"Goku stutters.
"How deplorable that you only realize that now"The fighter says as he takes of his mask revealing an old face and a man with a white long mustache.
"That's right it is I" Gohan says.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Goku yells excitedly running towards Gohan.
"Goku"Gohan says back as the the sayain boy jumps in his arms hugging him.
"Oh Grandpa I missed you so much"Goku says.
Everyone smilies at Goku's happiness (expect for Bardock he's too cool to smilie he just smirks).
"Grandpa I've learned so much did you know I'm an alien and I'm not from this planet at all"Goku tells Gohan.
"Well I have had my suspicions"Gohan laughs ruffling Goku's hair.
"Oh and I have met my parents"Goku says waving his parents over to meet both step onto the ring and walk to Gohan.
"So you are Goku's parents huh it's nice to met you,you both seem incredibly strong "Gohan completes.
"Thank you so much for raising our son"Gine thanks him.
"Oh don't thank me ma'am it was just a pleasure"Gohan says to Gine.
"Yes you seem strong for a...Human"Bardock emphasizes on the human.
"Well I can't doubt that you're Goku's father you're a splitting image of him"Gohan laughs.
"Wow I'm so happy you get to meet each other"Goku much as he wants to cry due to his father their he would refrain from it.
"By the way how did you die"Bardock asks.
"Oh yeah I have been wondering that too grandpa"Goku seconds.
"Yes well Goku how about you go with your friends I need to speak with your parents for a minute"Gohan tells him.
"But-" Goku is cut off.
"No buts do what he said sweetie"Gine tells her son as he lets go of Gohan and looks at him sadly.
"Don't worry boy I won't be leaving yet"Gohan says to Goku as the sayian boy begrudgingly walks away for the grown ups to talk.
"So what was that about" Bardock asks.
"You want to know how I died right"Gohan Bardock and Gine up as they walk a little bit farther away from Goku as Gohan knows about his sayian hearing.
"All your people have tails right" Gohan asks.
"Yeah that's right what about it"Gine answers.
"And they also have the ability to transform right"Gohan asks again.
"Yea what are you getting at"Bardock answers.
"Well I found out about Goku's ability and told the boy not to look at the moon but as hard headed as the boy is"Gohan tells them.
"He looked at the moon" Bardock and Gine say in unison.
"Of course and trying to stop him in his rampage which I think he has no control over he stomped on me crushing me"Gohan informs them as they both stare at him wide eyed.
"So that's why you told Kakarot to go with his friends"Gine says.
"Yes but don't let that get you down I was old wouldn't have lasted longer anyways"Gohan states."Anyway that boy has great potential and with strong parents like you I feel he wouldn't have needed me anyways"Gohan tells them.
"Hmm you ain't half bad old man"Bardock tells him.
"Yea you are really humble"Gine compliments.
"Thank you now may I talk to Goku or as you call him Kakarot which I'm assuming is his birth name"Gohan says.
"Goku is fine with me"Gine says. "GOKU COME BACK HERE GOHAN WANTS TO TALK TO YOU"She yells out to her son.
Goku runs back to Gohan as fast as he can hugging him again.
"How is your rear Goku does it still hurt"Gohan asks.
"No"Goku says.
"I only wished to admonish you for not getting rid of your weakness but I may have used too much strength" Gohan states to Goku.
"I'm fine"Goku responds.
"I see you have become very strong"Gohan says.
"Did Master Roshi teach you"Gohan asks.
"Yep"Goku responds.
Gohan sees Master Roshi and the two talk to each other with everyone talking in their conversation.
Bardock and Gine walk off the arena."Hey Gine"Bardock calls out to his wife as she ignores him and walks 20 feet away from him.
"Just what the hell is wrong with her"Bardock whispers to himself as the sayian accidentally falls asleep ok the ground.
The sayian is woken up by a hard shake from Goku "Dammit boy the world better be in danger for you to wake me up" Bardock threatens.
"Dad we finally know the location of the last dragon ball are you coming"Goku asks.
"Yea finally now let's get this damn ball"Bardock says getting up
So what did you think about it, it was most likely boring but don't worry the action will be back anyway the power levels are still all the same.
