Episode 7: Training with the Family
Narrator: Previously on Team Chronicle: Mark was discovered by Bardock's squad while training in the wilds. Mark tried to convince Bardock to let the boys help the Sayian save the planet from Frieza, but the warrior refused help. Just then, they were attacked by one of Frieza's generals, Dodoria, & his squad, who were sent to kill the Sayian squad. However, Mark stepped in & defeated Dodoria with the use of Kaio-ken x10. After Dodoria & his squad fled, Bardock reluctantly agreed to let Mark & the Eds help. Will training with Bardock & Gine be enough to prepare the boys for the battle with Frieza?
OP: "Dragon Ball Heroes Theme" by Takayoshi Tanimoto
(The next day, Mark & the Eds are lined up outside, facing Bardock, Gine, Raditz, & Tora.)
Bardock: Alright boys, here's the deal: in order to see how good you all are, I've called us here for a practice fight. This'll let me see how powerful you actually are.
Eddy: Wait, didn't Mark save your butt from that Dodoria guy yesterday? Shouldn't that count for something?
Bardock: Well, of course it does, but he said it was that Kaio-ken technique that helped him; so, I've decided that I need to see how powerful you are without that. Because of that, you aren't allowed to use Kaio-ken during this battle.
Mark: Alright then; we'll do our best.
Double D: Wait Mark; that's our only way to actually inflict damage. How can we ever hope to fight without Kaio-ken?
Mark: It's okay Double D, you won't need it. Have you forgotten what I said about Kaio-ken; it drains energy pretty quickly. You can't always rely on it.
Double D: Well…alright.
Bardock: Right then! Eddy, you'll be paired up with Raditz.
(Raditz shoots a smug smile at Eddy. The human boy glares back.)
Eddy: Fine by me.
Bardock: Ed, you're with Tora, Double D is with Gine, & I'll spar with Mark.
Mark: Okay, that sounds fair enough.
Bardock: Everyone ready? (Everyone gets with their partners.) GO!
Mark & the Eds vs. Bardock's Family & Tora
Eddy vs. Raditz
Eddy: I'm gonna enjoy wiping that smug look off your face!
Raditz: Try it if you can, weakling! (Raditz jumps into the air & charges his left leg with purple Ki.) Black Monday!
(Raditz kicks Eddy, & then flies over the boy & kicks him again in the back.)
Eddy: Great. No Kaio-ken. What do I do? (Eddy gets an idea.) I got it! (Eddy teleports above Raditz & charges yellow Ki.) Masenko!
(Eddy fires the attack straight down at Raditz. The young Sayian jumps out of the way & fires a Ki sphere at his partner.)
Ed vs. Tora
Tora: Okay kid, let's see what you got.
Ed: Okay. (Ed points his elbow towards Tora.) Berserker Charge!
(Ed rushes towards Tora, aiming for the Sayian's stomach.)
Tora: You let your guard down. (Tora opens his palms at Ed.) Big mistake. Flame Ballet!
(Blue energy hits Ed, igniting blue flames on him.)
Ed: AH! FIRE!
(Ed stops & starts to roll around on the ground.)
Tora: Well, that's what you get when you – wait a minute.
(Ed is actually rolling towards Tora. The boy slams into the warrior, knocking Tora off his feet.)
Ed: Sorry, didn't mean to do that!
Tora (thinking): Didn't mean to; how strong IS this kid?!
Double D vs. Gine
(Gine fires a swarm of Ki spheres at Double D, who keeps dodging them.)
Double D (thinking): Hmmm…I wonder if I could…well, only one way to find out.)
(Double D stops moving & puts both his hands out in front of him. The next Ki sphere then collides with the boy's hands & disappears.)
Gine: Huh? Where did it –?
(Double D then charges a Kamehameha; however, it's yellow instead of orange.)
Double D: (Looks like my absorption idea is possible; I'll look into it later; for now…) Kamehameha!
(Double D fires the attack. Gine jumps out of the way as the stream of light passes her. She then continues the Ki sphere assault.)
Mark vs. Bardock
Mark: Wolf Fang Fist!
Bardock: Day Crush!
(The two rush each other & exchange a flurry of punches. The two then back off & charge energy attacks.)
Mark: Kamehameha!
Bardock: Full Power Energy Wave!
(The two beams of energy collide, canceling each other out. The two partners don't move for a moment; then, Bardock get out of his fighting stance.)
Bardock: I think I've seen all I need to. Everyone stop!
(Everyone one stops, Eddy & Raditz currently grappling each other. Eddy punches Raditz's face one more time…for good measure.)
Bardock: Well, I have to say, you kids are certainly powerful. You may actually be able to pull your own weight in a fight. (Not that it matters; unless I can get the king to believe me, we can't beat Frieza. But…I'll be damned if I make destroying the Sayians easy for him!)
