Bardock Reborn

Background: Ryanna is a human that has lived at Capsule Corps since the reincarnation of Buu. Since she has been an assistant of Bulma Briefs she has figured out the secret of the Saiyans, and the mysteries of the Cell games and the Z fighters past. What she doesn't know is that she would become more involved than she originally planned.

Author's note: I use Ryanna as a solid original character in a lot of my fan fiction work. I rarely change her looks but often alter her race, and personality in order to fit with the storyline. Please don't base your thoughts on her from what you might have read in previous fics to this one. Thank you!

Chapter 3: Lust for Battle

The weird "Kyehkyehkyeh" sound that escaped from the men sent shudders of disgust down Ryanna's spine. They had three stubble daggers for claws on each hand and foot. Their skin was green and wrinkled like a head of lettuce, and the eyes glowed a scarlet red. "I am your teacher" Bardock had said. "Lesson one, Survive." He was joking right? She had no fighting experience. She had a feeling these guys weren't pushovers either.

The first took a swing at her and she ducked her body moving fast and it barely missed the side of her head. Oh god, oh shit, what the hell did she do now? They attacked her one by one each sending one swift movement at a time seeing her passive movements. One by one she dodged each stab closer than the next.

Bardock watched with a firm scowl on his face. "That's all wrong, even her way of evading them is risky." He put his lips to the microphone. "Stop thinking and attack. Go with instinct!"

Instinct? The first claw attacked her and she gasped as the force sent her flying back and she crash landed into the wall. Her head spun and some blood trickled down the side of her face. She looked up seeing the eyes and got angry. The taste of blood I her mouth left her hungry and she launched without a thought in her head. Her fists flew smashing the head in the first one then kicked another down crushing his neck underfoot. The third stared at her making his sound and stretching his claws. She lifted her hand, folding her thumb up into the palm and releasing a blue energy that just obliterated the third and final threat.

Bardock stood amazed. His scouter had gone from being inactive to raising up high and swift. Her power was at three thousand in just that little burst, how was that possible?

The flurry had left Ryanna dizzy and disoriented. She looked around at the carcasses of her defeated foes and fell to her knees shaking. How had she done that? She looked to her hands and they were shaking, not from fear, but from excitement. That had been…exhilarating!

The door to the chamber opened and Bardock strolled in grabbing her arm roughly. "Ow! Hey let go." she swiped at him and he made an oof sound. His cheek stung and he struggled to remain calm and deal with her.

"How did you do it?"

"Do what?" She swung at him again, but he grabbed her other arm and pushed her against the wall. She gasped feeling like a trapped rabbit against a hungry wolf. She stared up at him his eyes scrutinizing her face with a sort of hard calculating stare. She felt suddenly warm and a tingle rose in her belly. It had been a long time since a man showed any signs of interest in her. Then again it had been a long time since she unchained herself from her lab.

"You raised your level from practically zero to 3000." Bardock gripped her tail to keep her from moving. She collapsed against him, her head tilted up and her knee buckling. "Now tell me, how did you do it?"

"I, I don't know." Her eyes fluttered when he went from gripping her tail to stroking it. God she wanted to purr. The feeling was astounding, like being given a head to toe massage by many, many hands. "I just did what you told me, and stopped thinking."

He heard the tremor in her voice, and saw the reaction she was giving him. He had never fore played with a woman before. Cumbera had been a straight shot, let's get down and dirty, but this woman wasn't the sort to be swayed by gruff domination. She had to be swayed almost sneaky like. He enjoyed this little power he had over her. Even if it turned out that she had more power inside he now knew several key points to sway the victory his way. To test his theory he bent his head and gave a teasing nip of her lip. He watch her eyes go from soft and gooey to alert and hungry. When her grip on him tightened he crushed her mouth yanking her hard against him arching her form letting them mold together.

Ryanna's head felt like exploding. The taste of him left her mind a puddle and she couldn't think at all. She could only feel. She could feel his hard rock body holding her like a lifeline in a rushing river. She could feel the heat radiating from his hands, hips, and lips. She could taste his want, smell his lust, and hear the rapid beat of his heart against hers.

When a throat was cleared behind them they broke and Ryanna wondered why she just didn't fall to the floor like a sack of potatoes. The figure behind them was of a familiar face as well. A young spite of a boy who had the look of his father.

"It's a wonder how you manage to stay on top of your game when you use the training facilities for mating instead of what they're really good for, Father."

"Radditz. I thought you were on duty." Radditz? Rikku looked at Bardock then the boy. So, this was the illustrious brother of Kakarott.

"I just returned. Mother has been looking for you. She apparently is in the mood." Radditz said with great distaste on his lips. Ryanna looked between father and son and backed off turning her body away and rubbing her certainly flushed cheeks. What had just happened?

It remained on her mind for the rest of the day. As Bardock left to tame this Cumbera, what a funny name, he left Ryanna in son's charge. "He's asking for trouble if he's invited you to stay in his living quarters. My mother is very territorial person. She considers him her property."

Ryanna waved her hand as if batting away buzzing vibes. "Don't worry, despite what you saw I have no interest in mating with your father. I don't plan on staying too long."

Radditz stopped in the long hallway and opened a door. The apartment type atmosphere made her feel she had jumped in the future rather than the past. The high quality technology that surrounded her was used not only for lights and appliances but also controlled the furniture, doors, equipment and pictures. Instead of a photograph the hologram projection flashed a smiling Bardock and a small group of people. Radditz caught her looking at it and sighed. "That's father's team. Fasha, Tora, Orgos, and Shukesh."

"His team, huh? Rikku touched the hologram the pixels dispersing them reassembling as she removed her hand. "Fascinating, you don't see technology like this where I come from."

"Where are you from?

"Far, far," she took a breath, "Faaarrrrr away."

Radditz cocked an eyebrow. "How do you plan on getting far, far, faaaaaaar away?"

"My ship, once I can repair it. Speaking of which where did you father take it?"

"Probably to the lab where they repair all the ships." He stuck a finger in his ear to clean it out and jumped when Ryanna grabbed his shoulders her eyes filling with a kind of light shining in them.

"You guys have a lab?"

"Well, duh." Radditz pried her fingers away from him. "What society doesn't?"

"Oh thank god! Where is it? Can you take me there?"

"It's at the palace, and no I can't take you there. It's not in my jurisdiction."

"Jurisdiction…" weird, that was the first boy of… (what was he ten?)… that she had heard use such words like jurisdiction.

"Only first class elites and technicians can get into the lab. If you really ant to work on your ship yourself you'll have to talk to Plenthor. He's head of the lab as well as the medical advisor."

"Plenthor, okay, I'll do that!" Ryanna hugged him tightly to her breast and grinned. "Thanks Radditz." She rushed to the exit skidding to a stop and looking back. "something wrong?"

"No, nothing." Radditz turned his head blushing. She had been the first person to hug him, and thank him. It felt… kind of nice. "Just go."

Bardock's eyebrow twitched in irritation as the woman he had mistakenly bedded ranted in front of him. "Why didn't you check in with me? You've been back a week and haven't come see me at all! You go out on missions and leave me all alone with people whispering and snickering that you'll come back dead one day from these suicide missions you take! When are you going to learn Bardock? You're not invincible!"

"When are you going to learn, I'm not your property, Cumbera!" The woman in front of him was any Saiyan's dream physically. She had the right amount of muscle and feminine appeal to make her both a solid fight and a great lay, but her personality was overly possessive and down right annoying!

"You may not be my property but you're still my lover. As your lover I demand the little respect you have for me."

"Who says I have respect for you? I slept with you Cumbera, we had a son together, but that doesn't mean I have any responsibilities for you." He stood up making a break to leave. He stopped in his tracks and hissed out a breath when an energy ball burned into his back through his armor. He whirled on her glaring. "You'll pay for that!"

She smirked waving her finger in the air like a gun. "Make me." Bardock locked the door of Cumbera's apartment and strolled over to her grabbing her by the hair and yanking her against him. "You're making a mistake in tangling yourself with me Cumbera."

Cumbera's eyes went dark and sultry, a look he had come to love on her. "It'll be a mistake for you, if you push me away." She kissed him and let herself be taken under his aggressive hold. His hands rough and rugged against her. She liked it rough, and knew he was the rough and tumble type. It was only a matter of time before she got him to mark her. "Now, make me pay."

(QAN: I could probably write in a sexy hentai scene here involving a lot of bondage and rough sex, but… unfortunately this is normal not so you'll have to live with the PG-13 cut version.)

Plenthor greeted Ryanna with a kind hearted smile. "Well hello again."

"Hello Plenthor. I have a favor to ask of you."

"What's the favor?"

"I think my ship is in your lab. I'd rather not let anyone else work on it, but me. So I was hoping you could give me access to your lab, or you could have it sent someplace else where I could work on it."

"Hmm, well seeing as it's a piece of machinery neither I or my men have witnessed before, I see no harm in letting you tend to it, and from what I've gathered you have some experience in handling different types of technology."

"I'm also a fast learner. I can help around the lab as a sort of intern."

"Very well, follow me then." Plenthor stood and turned to his lizard like associate. "Watch the patients, Manaka. I'm going to escort, this lovely lady to the castle. I believe King Vegeta needs to meet her."

Ryanna held up her hands. "Whoa, whoa, I didn't say anything about meeting the king."

"No, you didn't, but in order to become a part of my team you'll need King Vegeta's permission, and I think it's best if you met him yourself."

"Well," bad idea Ryanna, she told herself, bad idea. "Okay. Only because I really want my ship, plus I'm curious about how advanced your technology is."

"Trust me," Plenthor patted her arm. "I don't think you'll be disappointed."

I'm debating whether or not to post this story on AFF as well or to leave it as is. I want to include some real hard core stuff, but I can't do that without posting it on AFF. Give me your opinions! I welcome them!
