"Gine… senzu… now…"

"Of course, Bardock!"

Gine ran up to Bardock, who was badly beaten from the fight with vegeta (King vegeta, who had not been made king as the explosion would have happened when he was a small child), and lost for the first time in his life. Bardock could not tell which hurt more, his damage from the fight or his pride from losing.

"Thanks. I felt so helpless! I'm going to get him back though, you'll see… you'll see."

"Well, I'm glad you're alright. I thought you'd die out there."

Gine turned around, and saw some big type of ship behind her.

"What's that? Do you know, Bardock?"

"Nope."

"Well, let's go check it out."

So, Bardock and Gine ran up to the ship to see what was inside.

"Ah, we've finally arrived. I was beginning to get bored, you know. So this is the planet you recommended, Zarbon."

"Yes, sire. It is a planet called Earth, and it has many nutrients, as well as a large storage of energy."

"Well, it's quite small, and there don't seem to be many inhabitants… who are you?"

"Hi, I'm Gine, and this is my friend Bardock."

"Berduck?"

"It's Bardock, idiot."

"Don't be rude, boy. Well, I suppose the sooner I kill you off, the better. After all, I can't have someone interfering… even though they'd stand no chance against me."

"What did you say? You think you can defeat me? I, Bardock, have been beaten by none but Vegeta, and you couldn't ever reach his strength."

"Ah yes, Vegeta. Rather scrawny for what he is… what's his power level, Zarbon?"

"A mere 8765, sire."

"Yes, exactly. He would stand no chance against me."

"Ha! As if. If you think you're so tough, why don't you try and fight me, you ugly spike-headed monstrosity?"

"Shut up, you filthy Saiyan!"

"What's a Saiyan? Is that a sort of food or something?"

"Don't tell me you don't know! Well, what's the best way to explain this… You're not human. You know those tails you have? Ever wondered why they're there? It's because Saiyan's use them to give of immense power at the…"

"At the what?"

"None of your business."

"Well, I say it is my business!"

"Don't get cocky, Saiyan. I could kill you in one punch."

"Oh yeah? Try me!"

"As you wish…"

Suddenly, Cold started to change. His body was growing upwards, and his strength was rising. Finally, the growth stopped.

"This, Bardock, is my second form!"

"What did that do for you? make you more of a freak?"

"No… but it did do this!"

Cold punched Bardock right in the stomach, sending him flying backwards. The power in his punch was inconceivable. Still, Bardock was able to get up.

"Owww… You hit me while my guard was down... Now you'll pay! Kaio-ken x 2!"

Bardock's power rose at insane speeds, until, at last, it was at double his usual strength.

"So, you ready to fight, freak?"

"If you so desire, dirty saiyan…"

And so, the fight between alien and saiyan began!

Next time, Cold decides that he has to take this fight seriously… and takes on a third form! What will happen now? Find out next chapter of Dragon ball b!
