Breaking Point

Barnah couldn't believe what he was witnessing, before him stood a man that had been one energy blast away from oblivion, and suddenly the son of a bitch found the power to kill his partner. He was furious. No, he was absolutely livid. That upstart had the guts to kill his comrade.

Gohan, after declaring that he would kill Barnah, started screaming to the dark red skies above as he felt what was left of his self-control and sanity get taken away by the new unmistakable reality that he found himself in.

Gohan's pupils seemed to disappear as his eyes went completely white. His aura enveloped him as pebbles and stones started to rise and surround him in the same way a moon would orbit a planet. Barnah started to grind his teeth as he roared like an animal and flew straight at Gohan's direction in a berserk rage.

Gohan's senses went into overdrive as he felt the life-energy of planet Vegeta's inhabitants. Each one felt darker than the other, all of them stained with the blood innocents. The kind of innocents he failed to protect all his life.

The world started to change and twist inside Gohan's mind as he lost himself to his rage and despair, growing darker by the second until nothing was left except a beacon of light in the form of Barnah, a light every cell in his being sought to sniff out. Gohan couldn't take it anymore and with one last shout, he started to fly at the enraged Barnah's direction.

With both warriors getting closer in their charges, they started to glow in their respective aura's colors: one bluish white, and the other whitish purple. And when they were close enough as to look each other in the eyes, they both gave one last scream that was lost amidst the impact.

As both warriors collided the ground beneath them gave away into a crater, which in its center held a blinding pillar of energy that rose into the sky and even further. When the light of the pillar started to fade, great shock waves that could have been heard from miles away began to manifest, each originating from seemingly random points in the sky. Every time one was formed, a cloud parted.

The first shock wave was the sound of Gohan winning the first exchange of blows, by thrusting his right fist straight at Barnah's ribs, making him choke in his own spit. The second shock wave in the superhuman exchange for air superiority came when Barnah brought his left elbow down on Gohan's cranium, forcing him to fly down in the direction the blow sent him and start the exchange all over again, only closer to the ground.

As the two opponents continued to land blows at each other with no regard for any defence, both started to get tired. Their muscles started to give in under the strain of punching as hard and fast as they could. Their bodies cried for rest, but it only cause the berserkers to fight harder.

As the fight of wills continued in the sky, every blow that happened to land on them only drove them further on. A kick from Gohan to Barnah's waist was followed by Barnah landing a knee at Gohan's midsection. Every blow took them closer to the crater that was formed from the first impact, and closer to the ground.

When their feet touched the ground they ended their exchange with a punch to punch that caused a trench to form under their arms. They both separated with a jump as they both took in each other's forms to see the damage that was done.

Barnah's breathing was irregular from the blitz, but he couldn't wipe away his smirk as he felt the adrenalin flowing through his veins. He felt as if every bruise or cut in his skin was a sign of pride - a sign of a battle that only comes once in a lifetime - but that feeling stopped short when he looked at Gohan's eyes.

While Barnah felt exhilarated and basked in the notion that he was having the battle of his life, for Gohan it was something else completely. Barnah's face was at that point completely swollen, he could barely see through his black swollen eye, every time he filled his lungs with much-needed air, he felt an incredibly sharp pain in his chest, a sign that there could be a possibility he got a punctured lung in the fray.

Although Gohan stopped screaming his lungs out from the whirlpool of emotions that tore his heart to nothing, he was anything but calm. When Barnah looked at Gohan in the eye, he could have sworn he was staring into the gaping maw of a raging Oozaru ready to poach its prey and leave nothing behind, and that's what caused Barnah, for the first time in his life, to fear an impending battle.

Gohan felt like the entire world was numb. He didn't feel any of his former injuries. His newer ones he didn't even notice as blood almost started to secrete from every injury or cut that littered his body. Many places on his body like ribs, chest and face were bluish purple, the only thing he could register in his mental condition was the boiling rage that surrounded him and the frosty core of despair inside him, and like an open window to the soul one could see all of that through his eyes.

When Gohan took a step forward, Barnah by instinct took a step back, "You're not scaring me!" screamed Barnah as he jumped into the sky, preparing his ultimate attack, "Hammer Time!" he screamed with a spin kick that went clockwise into Gohan's face. As Gohan flew Barnah didn't take his time as he went after Gohan, first he started with three jabs to the chest, starting with his left hand, and after that with the right and when he returned to the left he started to charge energy to the right, releasing it in Gohan's face and making him drop like a hammer to the ground.

"Haha, serves you right, you third class trash. No one survives my "Hammer time", no one!" yelled Barnah at the dust-filled crater below, where Gohan laid. As Barnah continued to laugh at the last-seen location of Gohan, he never noticed Gohan's form creeping closer behind him, until he felt an elbow at his spinal cord with a sickening, "Crunch!" sound as he started to fall uncontrollably to the ground, to where he previously thought was Gohan's grave.

Barnah started to chough as the dust from his impact surrounded him, "You bastard, when I get my hands on you I-" Barnah started to wheeze as he noticed a lack of feeling in his lower body. His tail laid unmoving, his legs - no matter how much he tried - didn't respond to him, "W-what have you done to me?! I can't feel my legs!" screamed Barnah as it dawned on him, that he could never fight again.

Barnah wanted to scream in anger, he wanted to blame the third class trash, that bastard, he wanted to try with his power to stand up again, only before he had the chance to do that, Gohan picked him up by the hair, making Barnah scream from pain instead, "I failed them," Gohan started to say with a lifeless and broken whisper to Barnah's left ear.

"Release me you t-" Barnah couldn't finish the sentence as Gohan started to land devastating punches to his head, making Barnah see bloody stars. Barnah's world started to spin around him as Gohan, with the same broken stare, just kept ruthlessly landing hits on Barnah's defenceless form.

"I failed my friends..." he said with the same broken and stale tone, as he started to bring more energy into his punches, breaking Barnah's teeth and jaw in the process. Tears started to spill from Gohan's bloodshot eyes as he continued Barnah's torture.

"P-wease, M-er-c-" Barnah again was interrupted by Gohan as his eyes were gouged out of their sockets by Gohan's barrage, blinding him completely with no way to undo the damage.

"...My student" Gohan started to bring up the pace as Barnah could only scream, "My race!" Gohan started to raise his voice as he continued to beat Barnah's mangled form "EARTH!"screamed Gohan, as a noticeable dip was could be seen on Barnah's head, drool mixed with blood started to escaped Barnah's open mouth, once a ruthless and proud saiyan warrior, now was nothing more than a sad excuse of life.

Gohan was so lost in his anger he could only see the androids in his grasp, instead of the poor husk that was once called Barnah. With a great shout, he let go of Barnah's hair and gave one of his strongest kicks to Barnah's groin making a big crunch sound as he fell like a rock to the ground, twitching and convulsing as a red stain was seen on his armor that protected where his genitals were placed.

Gohan started to gather energy in his right hand as he aimed it at Barnah's form, his face was stripped from all emotions except grief, and with another last shout, he fired the finishing blow at the ground.

As the blast came closer and started to reach Barnah it was suddenly deflected to the left. Gohan immediately recognized the ki signature as his father doppelganger, and when he took in Bardock's form he saw as the back of the left hand of Bardock was smoking with no sign of injury.

"So, I see you started the fun without me?" Bardock asked it as more of a statement than a question, as Gohan's demented mind replaced Bardock's face with Android 17 laughing at his misery and reminding him of every failure he had against the androids.

Bardock brought his right hand to his scouter, turning it on to valuate Gohan strength, ' the hell? The kid's power level max started at a thousand and eight hundred, jumped to two thousand six hundred, and now it suddenly did a bigger jump straight to the lower four thousands, the hell is with this kid, it's like one mystery after the other with him," thought Bardock as he also took notice of Gohan's bruised and battered body 'whatever it is, that can't go on, the kid would explode if this keeps going.'

"Android!" screamed Gohan as he rocketed with fists clenched and with burning in his eyes, straight at Bardock, only when he was mere centimeters away he vanished making Gohan crash into the hard and unforgiving ground.

Gohan was prepared to stand up again only for a foot to press itself upon his head holding him in place, "Boy, I don't know any androids, but I sure as hell know that if you continue like this, only death will await you," said Bardock as Gohan kept screaming and trying to get Bardock off of him.

Gohan started to feel his anger cool down as a crippling void replaced it, Gohan stopped thrashing around, and instead closed his eyes and let silent tears emerge as he accepted his new reality.

"That's better, now stand up, we are warriors and my pack members never stay down for long, I want you to stand up and finish your opponent like a real saiyan, " said Bardock, as Gohan just kept lying on the ground, desensitized to the world around him. Every part of his body ached for much needed rest, but he just didn't care anymore.

Bardock took hold of Gohan shoulder and helped him up after he waited a minute for Gohan to rise, only to see him not even trying. When he was about to reprimand Gohan for his sickening behavior, he stopped when he finally could look at Gohan straight in the eyes only to see a broken man before him, something he had seen many times on the battlefield when his opponents started to give up hope of besting him in battle.

Burgos landed beside Burdock, shaking his head to show he didn't find the second power level, meaning it was probably already taken care off. Burdock took Gohan's hand and helped him walk to Burgos, nodding his head and signaling for him to go back to his apartment, "I take it you will deal with that lump of meat over there?" asked Burgos with a serious voice.

"Just go already," said the ever impatient saiyan, as Burgos just snorted in reply, taking Gohan with him back to Burdock's home, as Bardock watched his team mate's form become smaller and smaller, as the distance between them got bigger by the second. Bardock took one last deep breath with closed eyes and opened them with a scowl and a deep growl when he looked at the half dead saiyan before him.

"So, you and your friend thought you could mess with my pack and get away with it, huh?" asked Bardock as he felt deep anger for the saiyan before him, wishing he could have fought him for real, so it would feel less like a waste of time.

Bardock started to walk and enter the deep crater where Barnah's body laid. When he reached Barnah he could only whistle in appreciation as he finally got a good look at Barnah for the first time, "You know, the only reason I deflected the blast was because I wanted a crack at you too, but now that I look at you I regret the decision." said Bardock calmly as he raised his foot over Barnah's head, and with a last blink stomped hard on it, crushing it with a loud squish sound as brain matter was thrown everywhere. As Bardock finished stomping Barnah's brain out he could not stop himself from giving an arrogant smirk.

-Third class district, Bardock's apartment-

"I still can't believe those A-holes left me behind" said Fasha to herself, as she could see Gina and Raditz flying back home from the living room window, standing on the heads of Toma, and Shugesh, wearing bruises and cuts all over their bodies, and a large thick stick, that could reach to her slender thighs in height stock to their assholes.

"God damn it, Toma, tell your psycho baby sister to get off my head, and for the love of the super saiyan God, also tell her to take out that god damn stick!" screamed Shugesh, fighting not to tear up like a little bitch from the mind-numbing pain that came from his ass hole.

Toma, unlike Shugesh, couldn't hold on, he started to sob as he felt his sister start to twist and turn the stick that was connected to his pooper, "P-pleessse," Tome tried to talk as Fasha with a sadistic smile on her face started to drive the stick deeper making him bang his fists on the floor from the pain.

Suddenly the sound of the door behind them signaling it was opening and the sound of a pair of feet were heard advancing to the living room where Fasha and the rest of the gang waited for the sound of feets to enter the room to greet them, or in this case traumatize a little boy and give an idea for a certain lady when she would feel a little on the frisky side.

Raditz was the first to enter the room, he could only gape in horror as the lights of the window made Fasha's shadow cast on the poor souls that were her teammates, that reached their arms out for little Raditz, and with a gravelly voice as tears fall from their eyes said, "Run, you fool. Run before the one with the time of the month catches you."

When Raditz's eyes went up to meet Fasha's he could only scream, "Mommy!" as he ran out of the room in tears. As he went on and on on how women are scary, he ran to his parents' room to hide in their covers where their scent laid, so he could hide and feel safe at the same time, as his mother checked out what made him act like a scared infant.

"Oh, hi Gina! How was your trip, did the squirt make any progress in his training?" asked Fasha while the men under her feet bagged for Mercy, shouting as the stick only penetrated their rectum further and further.

"Why yes, he actually did, I'm sure that he would become a splendid warrior that will bring lots of honor to the pack in no time," said Gina with a soft smile, not even looking at the poor excuse of men, knowing better than interrupt her friend's fun time.

As they continued their talk, suddenly Burgos entered the room with a bleeding and bruised Gohan stationed on his right shoulder, as Gina and Fasha both looked wide eyed at Gohan's form, and even the man under Fasha stopped trying to free themselves as Burgos dropped Gohan like a luggage at the hard cold floor saying, "sup," as he scratched his ass.

After Gina got over her shock she ran over to Gohan's location on the floor out of worry for her pack member, she bent down looking over his cuts and wounds tracing her finger over the more severe ones.

"The fuck happened to him?" asked the unconcerned Fasha, watching Gina starting to shake Gohan, calling his name out, trying to wake him back to consciousness. Suddenly the sound of little feet was heard running in the corridor, making Gina stand up fast and running with her pregnant belly as fast as a pregnant saiyan could to stop Raditz from seeing the current condition of Gohan.

After the noise of everyone in the room abruptly stopped, Raditz become confused, 'For what reason did they stopped talking?' for some reason his mother and father's friends quieted down, it intrigued him enough to make his fear forgotten for a moment, it was enough to make him chase the answer that alluded him.

So he rose up from his parents' bed, and started walking in his room's direction. The walking turned into running and in no time he stood in front of his bedroom door. When his hand reached for the knob it turned before he even touched it.

As the door opened for him he was greeted by his mother that blocked his view from his bedroom, "Mother, what is happening there? Why did you all go quiet all of a sudden?" asked Raditz, as his mother bent down to one knee and put both her hands on his shoulders with a pretty clearly fake smile.

"Nothing you need to worry about, my fierce little warrior," said Gina, as suddenly Raditz averted his gaze upwards, looking horrified with his mouth open wide, with tears emerging in the corner of his eyes, falling down his childish cheeks.

Suddenly a, "THOMP!" was heard, Gina averted her gaze behind her to see the injured Gohan form closer to her then before and standing above him was Fasha with a wide smirk.

"The hell, Fasha!?" screamed Gina as she rose up to look at Fasha in the eyes, "explain," was the only thing she said as she glared at her friend for what she presumed was an assault on one of her pack members.

"That's easy, I just saved your nuked up ass" was the only thing she said as Raditz started to shake, terrified from Gohan.
