I want to apologize for the delay, I've been working on Sailor Universe Ch. 3, and it should be ready as soon as my beta is done looking it over. Not to mention I have a hard time keeping myself on a schedule. So…yeah. Well I do have another vote on Nappa's fait and, who Radditz' is going to end up with. But I still need more votes for now , because I need a tiebreaker for this. You guys have a few months till I need the final decision I'll admit, but I still need the answers. Thank you for your reviews. I don't own either show, so please support both shows.
Ch. 4 Goku meets Bardock
"Piccolo." Goku breathed.
"Goku, I assume that these people are stronger than we both thought." Piccolo said to his rival telepathically.
"How long have you been listening?"
"That's none of your business Goku! Look I'm just returning the favor from when you saved my life. Got it? Now it was that 'Head Hunter Jutsu' that did you in right?"
Goku, being rather miffed wanted to hit him with a sarcastic reply but couldn't think of one at that time. And it was the one time it came to mind too. "Yeah, then that chakara absorption jutsu. You better watch yourself and make sure that Naruto does not get hurt."
"I have no intention of harming the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi."
"You were there?"
"Yes."
"Hey, demon!" Piccolo looked at the man that addressed him. "I'm giving you this one chance to hand over the kid. Otherwise, my friends and I will have to kill you."
"You do that, and you'll be making a big mistake." The Demon King replied.
"And why's that?" A kunoichi asked.
"Because, you'll be ticking off a lot of people."
"Like?" Asked the youngest member of the group. He had blond hair in a ponytail with his bangs covering his left eye and only his pale blue right eye was visible.
"The group of people that happens to be coming this way."
"Well they won't make it in time. You'll all be dead before they even make it to your rescue." Said another ninja. They pulled out their shurikin and kuni, and threw them at him. When a big guy that looked a lot like Goku appeared out of nowhere, and blasted the projectiles with a yell.
"Actually, we flew here." Bardock said, as people that Piccolo recognized like Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien showed up holding people that couldn't fly, with Chiaotzu bringing up the rear. "I believe that you guys know two of the ninja among us." He said, and to say that the Iwa-nin freaked out was a huge understatement.
'What's going on? Is that Krillin I'm sensing? I hope he has some senzu. I seriously need one.' Goku thought to himself. 'And who is the guy talking?'
'Who is this guy?' Chi-Chi asked herself. 'And why does he look like Goku? Are they related…like brothers…or something?'
"Okay, who's the dolt that did that to him?" Goku couldn't see the man that was talking, but he was one hundred percent sure that he was talking about him. But what was really bugging him was that he couldn't get out because his ki and stamina were so close to zero, that there was no way that he could get out for some time, and there was a good chance that he wouldn't get to fight.
"Who are you calling a dolt, 'Scarface'?" The Iwa-nin responsible asked.
"It was you wasn't it?" "Krillin, I need you to get a senzu to Kakarot. He's going to want to fight."
"Right." He responded. "But I'll need a distraction."
"No problem." "Hey, why don't we get this show on the road? I mean…you guys may not be a challenge, but I think that you might make it interesting for me."
"Hey 'Fatman'." Piccolo called to Yajirobie. "Take the boy, I won't be able to fight with him in my arms." He passed Naruto to said fatso, and proceeded to take the Demon Style stance.
"I'm glad you could join the fight Namekian, besides, the more the merrier."
Piccolo couldn't take it anymore. "Okay one: Who are you? Two: Why do you look like Goku?" That made Goku stop struggling for a moment. "And three: …WHAT IS A NAMEKIAN?"
"My name is Bardock. I'm his father, and I'll get to that later." He said in a calm tone. "Because right now we have some ninja to bash." That was the last thing said. For the fight to protect the small family had began.
It took Krillin five seconds after the fight began to give him the proper distraction to get to Goku, due to his size and speed. "Hey Goku, Bardock said that you'll wanna fight, so here you go."
Goku took it and as he was chewing he asked the obvious question. "Where has he been for the last nineteen years of my life?"
Krillin made sure that Goku swallowed the bean before giving him the answer so he wouldn't choke. "He's been dead for that time, but now he's back for good."
Goku was shocked. His father was dead for his whole life? And now he's back? He decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth, because in all honesty, he was glad that he was there. He smiled and with a yell got himself out of the ground. He then took the Turtle Style stance and got into the fray.
Bardock was toying with his opponent, when all of a sudden, the ninja jumps into the air does a bunch of strange hand signs. He'd seen a few jutsu, but he didn't know what to expect, and it hits him right on the head and he's knocked out.
…
Bardock found himself lying on the ground several hours later. The sun had set hours ago. He felt strange for some reason but couldn't figure out why. He looked around to find that everyone that he came with was dead. His daughter-in-law and grandchildren he came to rescue, were dead as well. He was starting to freak out, he began to think that maybe his son was dead too, but he had to try to find him. He began to call out to him. "Ka…Goku! Where are you! Goku!" He was becoming frantic, when he heard a moan off to the distance. "Kakarot!" He shouted running over to the moaning. There he was. His orange gi covered in blood stains. He carefully picked up his head. "Kakarot, can you hear me?"
The nineteen year old Saiyan opened his eyes. "Dad?" He asked in a tired voice. "Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me son. What happened?"
"They're dead dad, they're all dead. Even them." He saw his son pointing at a stack of bodies they all had the symbol for Iwa on their head bands.
"Who did this? How did this happen?" He asked frantically unable to control his emotions, as tears fell down his face.
"After you were knocked out, these weird guys all showed up and killed everyone."
"Who were they? Did you get their names?"
"Their leader's name was…Frieza."
"Frieza? Oh no."
"Oh yes, you stupid monkey." Ssaid a very familiar and infuriating voice.
"Frieza! You'll pay for what you've done!" Bardock growled at the tyrant.
"Oh really? And will I pay for this too?" That was when Zarbon and Dodoria came out of nowhere, and let three bodies drop to the ground. One was short but had black spiky hair that looked like it was a still fire. Another one was bald and he was huge. But it was the third one that made his blood run cold, he had long black spiky hair. He knew exactly who those three were. Prince Vegeta, Nappa, and his eldest son Raditz.
"YOU MONSTER!" He growled as he stood up from the ground. "I'll kill you for what you've done!"
"Well for all I care you can just die." Frieza fired a Death Beam at him. Only for Bardock to be pushed out of the way by the only family he had left alive. The Death Beam hit Goku square in the head.
"KAKAROT!" Bardock shouted as he fell to the ground and Goku fell to the ground with a sickening thud.
"Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! You worthless monkeys are all but gone. Oh don't worry, you'll join him soon." Frieza was about to kill him when he noticed that something was up. His hair was standing up and turning blond, and his eyes were turning green. They would then fade and fall back to normal. It went back and forth, back and forth, until Frieza decided that he had enough, and he would kill him right then and there.
Big mistake, because he closed his eyes, and with one mighty yell his golden hair became the dominate look for the Saiyan, and that strange feeling from before left. Only to be replaced by another. As he opened his eyes, he realized that it never happened, everyone was still alive. They had stopped to look at him and they were freaking out. Even Goku was surprised.
"What kind of Kekkei Genkai is that?" Asked one of the Iwa-nin.
Meanwhile on Frieza's spaceship:
Frieza had a case of the shivers. "Are you alright Lord Frieza?" Zarbon asked.
"I'm not sure." Frieza replied. "I have the strangest feeling that someone that I killed is alive and is now stronger than me."
"Oh common Lord Frieza." Dodoira said in a 'Yeah right' tone. "Like that's even possible."
"Your right Dodoria." Frieza said "No one is stronger than me. And even if it was possible. Like they could kill me. I mean…I'm untouchable." (AN: Oh really jerkface? We'll just see about that.)
Back on Earth:
'What happened? One minuet everyone was dead, and the next thing I know, everyone's looking at me like I just grew an extra head. What's going on? Why do I feel like I have so much power welling up inside me?' He looked at his hands and discovered that there was a golden aura surrounding his hands. That's when it hit him. "So this is what Super Saiyan feels like." He said not only to baffle the people, but to give them the answer that they asked for. But let's just say that the Iwa-nin didn't like it. He gave a little smirk. One thing's for sure he liked his new power.
"Umm…guys. I think it's best that we never tick off my dad." Goku said to his friends, family, and Piccolo. They all nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth Goku." Piccolo said still in shock of all the power that was coming off his rival's father. Then again who wasn't? This really screwed up his plans. Now he'd never take over the world like his father wanted him to do. Not until he got stronger.
"Now," Bardock began. "Who put me in that illusion?" The ninja responsible started to run away, but Bardock was right in front of him before he could get very far. He smirked as the man cowered in fear. But he said the one thing that no one thought that he would say. "Thanks, if it wasn't for you, then I wouldn't have ascended to Super Saiyan. You made me the first of my people in a thousand years to achieve this level of power. But still…you threatened my family…AND NO ONE THREATENS MY FAMILY AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" He punched him so hard that he died before he was launched into the air from the hit.
"YOU MONSTER!" One of the seven visible ninja shouted.
"Monster? You…call me…a monster?" Bardock's voice was low, but it was livid and powerful, his cold green eyes on the ninja. He was so angry it would be very difficult to bring him out of it. His killing intent was so potent that the infants began to cry, for they knew that something bad was about to happen. "If anyone here are monsters, then it's you freaks!" He killed that one instantly too.
"Goku!" A familiar voice shouted.
"Mr. Popo!" Goku shouted.
"Catch!" Mr. Popo then threw to Goku his old Power Pole.
"Thanks! I need you to take Chi-Chi and the boys to Bulma's quickly!"
"Of course." He then took Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Naruto and left for West City. Yajirobie having no choice but to stay and help the others in the fight.
Goku then faced off against an Iwa-nin with a sword. The ninja pulled out his sword, put it into a reveres grip, and said these very familiar words to him. "Oblivion awaits you."
'That's sounds familiar.' Bardock thought to himself as he looked at the fight that his son was about to have with the ninja welding the blade.
"My sword once drawn, has never known defeat. Can you say the same thing about your stick?"
'I swear, if he jumps I'm gonna do it.' Goku thought to himself.
The ninja ran towards him and proceeded to jumped high into the air. Goku pulled out his Power Pole. The ninja put his other hand on the blade, with the sword above his head ready to kill him when he landed.
"Here." Goku said. He then put the pole into the ground, waited a few seconds, and got out of the way.
The next thing everyone heard was this high pitched scream. Everyone stopped what they were doing and saw that the Iwa-nin had Goku's Power Pole up his butt. And he did the same thing that Mura Saki did when he faced off against the Red Ribbon Army in Mussel Tower.
It was so funny that everyone was laughing ally and enemy alike. In fact, because the Super Saiyan form was being fueled by anger, when he started laughing, he dropped it. His hair fell to the way it always was and turned back to black, and his green eyes turned back to onyx. After that was done, and Goku got his pole back in a quick and slightly painful manner.
The fight didn't last long after that, as everyone having a clear head, killed all but two of the ninja. The guy who had the stick up his butt, and the blond boy with the ponytail.
Bardock took on the blond boy. It turns out that he can make explosions with his clay. He also liked to call it his 'art.' It was turning into a bad day faster than a Saiyan could eat an entire buffet. It got that way because Bardock got blown into his son's house and then a clay bird flew into the house.
"Oh sh-"
*BOOM!*
Everyone looked over to where the house was. It was a pile of rubble.
"Art is a bang." The boy said.
Goku looked at the boy with shock and anger. Shock, because he's just a boy, and a boy his age shouldn't be doing this sort of stuff. And anger…well…his father was in the house when it exploded. He had so many questions that he had for his father, and now his father's gone. And the fact that he and his wife finally settled got after a year made it even worse. All of their belongings were now gone, and they had nowhere to go now.
"Awww man." Said a voice that sounded very bummed out that was in the smoke. "You busted up my armor with that explosion."
"Alright!" Jiraiya cheered. He then proceeded to mock the boy. "Hey kid! Looks like your 'art' didn't do the trick!" The boy trembled in fear but he held his ground.
"You don't know who I am do you?" The boy began. "I'm Didara! One of the best ninja to come out of the academy!" He was about to amp up the battle from C1 to C2, but an extremely loud 'KONG!' rang in the sky and the boy falling unconscious ended the battle.
"And now your done." Bardock said holding a frying pan in his hand. His armor was cracked and chipped. His pants were a little torn and he looked a little dirty but he didn't have a scratch on hid flesh. Goku paled a little because his dad had in his hand something he liked to call 'The Frying Pan of Doom.' Piccolo was also intimidated by that thing, because he's seen it used on Goku's thick skull.
By the time Bardock had hit the kid over the head, Yajirobie had just beaten the guy with the sword with both blades pointing at the ninja's face. "Game over ninja boy. You loose."
Thr ninja was killed a beam of ki right into his heart, curtsey of Piccolo.
"Well that's the last of them." Goku said. "But what about the boy?"
Bardock then picked up the boy and said, "Don't worry. I've got it covered. I'll be back." He flew off into the forest without another word.
"Now what?" Yamcha asked as he looked over at the rubble that used to be his friend's house.
"Well I guess we should see if anything survived the explosion, other than the frying pan." Krillin suggested.
"If it wasn't for the fact that I still want my answer I would've left by now. So I'll give you a hand to occupy my time." Piccolo said as he began to pick up some rubble and put it on a pile that he made himself. Then the others started to give him a hand.
They found something over where Bardock was at when the house exploded. It was the wedding album that Goku and Chi-Chi received from the Ox King after they got married. The saiyan warrior had inadvertently protected it from the explosion. Other than that, nothing survived.
...
Bardock splashed cold water on the boy's face and he came to. He put his hand on the boy's head and flooded him with his psychic energy, and because it felt like a genjutsu the way it was being used, he kept using chakara the release jutsu to counteract it. But it only worked for so long.
Eventually Didara ran out of chakara and lost, he gave in to Bardock's will. He lost himself, his eyes glazed over and he felt a high that just made him want to fulfill the desires of the man before him.
"Didara right?" Bardock asked, the boy nodded, "I need you to do something for me."
"Anything you wish I will do." The boy replied.
"Excellent, I want you to never mention what happened here. Instead I want you to tell the ninja of your village that you were ambushed by rouge ninja, and you were the only one to survive." The boy acknowledged with a nod. "I also want you to work up in the ranks of your home village, and give me any information that your village deems important, and never want in enemy hands."
"I will do as you ask master."
"Good. Now when I need to speak to you again I will say 'Gine', but if I need you to resume your work I'll say 'Kushina.' Do you understand?"
"Yes I do, I hope to see you soon." The boy gave a smile that made him almost regret what he is doing now. Almost that is. "I'll need you to rest, you'll need the energy. Kushina." The boy then collapsed and fell into a deep sleep. Bardock then put another layer of encryption into the boy's subconscious mind to insure that if he did brake out of the first layer for any reason then the second one would make sure that he would return for another backup.
With that done he quickly returned to where his son's home once stood to find them all still there. Everyone was staring at him. Some were shocked, others relieved, and one was impatient. The latter being Piccolo. "Piccolo right," he nodded, "If you'll follow me I'll give you your answer." Piccolo had no choice in this if he was going to find out what was gong on he needed to listen to him.
They didn't go too deep into the woods before Bardock finally explained to him everything about the Namekians. He knew that they had someone eavesdropping on them. Kami was astounded and realized why after he created the Dragon balls he felt as if he found some of his home. And with that Piccolo left to do whatever he did during that time, probably training.
He returned to the group that was left, and before he could say anything his stomach growled demanding food. Goku walked up to his father and said, "Hey guys, I think that we should head up to Bulma's and get something to eat." Goku's stomach growled as well.
"Are you crazy?" Everyone turned to look at Yamcha. Bardock knew where this was going.
"Look Yamcha, when I got to that level of power I had no control of myself. My instincts took over and I wanted nothing more than to remove the threats to the lives of my family. And I swear, if you try to compare me to them, you'll regret it!" He did his best to be calm. But because Yamcha was a moron, it was easier said than done as his hair stood up and flashed golden, his eyes turned green for a moment as well. However he was taking calming breaths as he let what he told the stupid ex-bandit sink in, and he returned to normal. "Look for now it only shows it's ugly head when I'm really ticked off, like what happened here only a few moments ago."
Krillin once again defends Goku's dad and said, "It'll take some time before he's got it to a point that he can control it Yamcha. That's all he needs."
"Who's side are you on?" Yamcha asked.
"The more reasonable side." Tien said, obviously taking Bardock's side.
"Man that genjutsu really backfired alright." Tsunade said gaining everyone's attention. "What did you see?"
"I think it would be best if I explained that with everything else, if that's alright with you guys." He asked sheepishly.
"That sounds good to me." Goku said in a chipper tone of voice that made Bardock smile for the first time in a longtime. They proceeded to West City, and made it to Capsule Corp in short order.
Well that's that chapter. Again sorry it took so long. Well I think we all know what's going to happen next. Yes, I picked on Yamcha, because he's a total baka and I don't like him. Thanks in advance for the reviews.
