Happy Memorial Day to all :D
Chapter 4
"Kasai?" Bardock struggled to get the guards off of him. "What about Kasai?"
The man sat back down, shuffling through many papers. "Well...you see, apparently he isn't the man we all know."
No shit... Bardock thought.
"He's been rumored to not only be able to easily wield an ancient tool called the 'Argo Stick,' but he also uses certain types of chemicals, and he has also been rumored to have been seen with you. That's why you're here. You're gonna tell us everything you know about Kasai."
Bardock just shrugged. "Know about him? NO ONE knows about the guy. He can hide under the radar 24/7 if he so desires. The only thing I know about him is that he's a deranged maniac and doesn't stick to one place very often."
After the man had heard enough, he signaled the guards to drop Bardock onto the ground and leave. The man then turned back to his captured Saiyan. He spoke up after a while, but it was a random comment.
"Before you leave..." He started as Bardock was actually leaving, "I just want you to know something. On top of all the crap in your life, you're still a brilliant scientist." He smirked.
"Well...I did make this fake moon thing..." Bardock smirked back before running out the door and taking to the skies.

Our supposed deranged maniac needs some downtime too! Here we find Kasai, sitting in a tree in Island Forest, letting his spiky fur tail hang over the edge of the tree, with his Argo Stick beside him. Out of all the other forests on the Planet, none were better than Island Forest. Like it's name suggests, it's on a remote island that no one really knows how to get to, except for Kasai. Glancing up at the sun, he determined the time of day, and, glancing over the lake, he noticed the Palace, in all it's shimmering glory, and, a little speck flying hastily towards it. One of the guards noticed this, but he was merely knocked down.
Kasai got up and stretched a bit. "Well, time for some fun, I guess..." He spoke to himself, grabbing the Argo Stick and heading to the Palace.

As soon as Bardock returned home and took one step inside, he was pulled by the vest by his wife, who embraced him in a quick hug.
"Ohhh, Raditz said you got arrested! I was so worried!" She yelled, releasing her husband. "Don't you DARE do anything like that again, or something will be done!" She yelled as she walked away. "Something!"
The next victim to go and greet his dad was none other than the little squirt named Kakarot, with a smile on his face.
"Ay, 'tosan, I trained a lot while you were awa'!" He happily chirped. "I'm gonna show you right no-"
"Yeah, yeah" Bardock stopped his son. "Raditz is currently where?"
"Trainin'." Kakarot put his hands behind his head. "He kept repeating the phrase 'I'll show dad who's the strongest in the house!'"
"Great, and he is training where?"
"Firin' ki at the lake."
"'Kay. Thanks!" Bardock spoke as he, once again, left the house to go towards the lake, but was interrupted by his scouter phone ringing a tone he was all too familiar with, Highway to Hell, or Kasai's tone. Reluctantly, he picked it up.
"Oy?"
"This is your pal Kasai. I was just wondering if you wanted to watch June kill King Vegeta with me."
"Kill?" Bardock stammered. "You mean seriously harm."
"Something along the lines of that. Just come to the lake across from the Palace, there's a nice little cliff over there."
"Sound's fun. Let's not try to kill each other."
Kasai stifled a small laugh. "Alright, sure, I won't kill you, don't worry!"

June effortlessly blasted down the door. Her face was frozen into a cold, hard mask. She slowly stalked down the long hallway toward the Throne room. She wasn't hurrying, there wasn't a need for it. Everyone who tried to stop her wound up a injured heap on the floor. She kept telling herself that she wouldn't kill any Saiyans, but she was rolling now, rage was gnawing at her throat. the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Vegeta had killed her mother. He had murdered her older brother! He had sent out his men to drag the innocent seventeen year old boy away from his disdainful six year old sister. It had been the last she had seen of her brother Lenam. And it was all Vegeta's fault.
She growled and tromped forward. Twenty paces left to the Throne room. Fifteen... Ten...
Suddenly she felt something clasp around her wrist band. Tiny hands. She swiveled around, eyes flaring, until they stared straight into the eyes of a little boy. She recognized him from the news. Prince Tarble. She knew he was going to be sent to a distant planet in a week. It had been publicized.
The boy raised his little fists. "Go away!" he squeaked. "Leave us alone!"
June's first reaction was to land an uppercut right over her opposer's jaw, but when she looked into his scared, teary little face, her gaze softened. It was all needed to convince her against killing the King. She would have sunk to his level. Left this little one with his last memories on his home planet being that of his father's funeral.
He raised his fists higher, trembling in fear. June simply turned tail, and walked off.
Then she felt it grab her tail.
With a gasp, she collapsed onto the ground. At that moment, the child let go, believing he had won.
June shot her leg out, swinging it around his legs and tripping him over.
There goes morality. She thought as she darted down the hallway.
She swung open the doorway. "Vegeta!" she snarled. The king turned to face her.
"Hello soldier Junipuru." He said calmly. "Got through the guards, I see."
June clenched her teeth. "You destroyed my family." She hissed.
"Ah" replied king Vegeta. "You're still on about that?"
He stalked up until he was a foot away from her, looking down at her rage-shaken figure. "You could never beat me. My power level is over 9000." He smirked. "Tell me, little girl, could you beat that? Hmm? do you think you're something special, little orphan Annie?"
The smallest hint of a smile twitched in the corners of her lips. "10,000. That's my power level." She growled at the King.
But the King merely broke into a great laugh. "YOU, 10,000!? My dear little lady, the only ones with that power level are Bardock and Kami. And considering the fact that none of those people are here, I guess I'll just have to kill you myself." He smirked. "But first...there's something you must know..."
"And that is?' June snarled. "I already know all of your deep dirty secrets and tricks."
"It's about your brother, Len..."
June dropped her offensive guard, taken aback by his comment, but she soon took up her guard again. "What about him?" She spoke through clenched teeth.
"They say he was executed for crimes, but it was something deeper. I had him personally executed. He was transferring information illegally to another race, commonly known as..." He smirked, "The Adumintians. Of course, their planet is now known as Frieza Planet 256, due to two fighters three-and-a-half years ago..."
June blinked. "Len was trying to set up an alliance! You know, he was the ONLY Saiyan to never kill another being? And as for the soldiers, I know them. One is my b-" She corrected herself. "My friend. He's my friend."
Vegeta shook his head. "Shame. Such a Saiyan attitude spent on that low-level fool."
June stomped on the ground with an enraged roar. "How dare you!" She screeched. "Raditz is ten times the man you'll ever be!"
The King sparked up in interest. "Oh really...
ISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISIS ISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISI
Kasai stifled a long yawn, his eyes watering up a bit. He closed his mouth and stared down at the Palace, which had surprisingly become more quiet without any shouts.
"I'm getting bored..." He sighed to no one in particular, well, except for his rival.
Said Saiyan was sitting behind Kasai on top of a rock, his arms crossed and his eyes closed. He appeared to be asleep, for he wasn't catching anything he was saying. He finally blinked his eyes a few times and cast a side glance towards the Palace, and then Kasai.
"Well?" He asked Kasai, yawning as well.
"Nothing. I guess she's probably arguing with the King right about now. Wanna go, like, hover above the Palace, looking on through the roof?"
"Sure, why not?' Bardock agreed after a few seconds. He got up, and, along with Kasai, they flew towards the Palace.
"But..." Bardock began once they were there. "If she tries to harm or kill the King, I will step in."
"But that's no fun!" Kasai whined.
"Well...too bad."
"Hmph."
ISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISIS ISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISI
"Raditz is ten times the man I am?" King Vegeta asked, a small sneer on his face. "I doubt your boyfriend could even begin to lead the Saiyans. You brother probably could...if he wasn't dead."
"Watch your mouth!" June yelled. "I'll kill you!"
"You haven't gotten the Saiyan spirit to kill your King, dear June." The King smirked. "Much less anyone else. Mission after mission you've taken, but do you realize how low of a power level those planets really were? You're just like your brother. Arrogant, lazy-"
"Don't say a WORD AGAINST MY BROTHER!"
"Weak!"
"I'm not weak!" June shrieked at the top of her lungs.
"Then prove it to me! Strike me down with every single ounce of hate you have, and you will have become a cold-blooded killer just like the rest of us, unless, of course..." He trailed off, "You're too scared."
Shaking with rage and hatred, she spoke up, her teeth chattering with anticipation. "It's too late to try and appeal to any morality that I had left. I'm not scared of you, Vegeta. To you, I'm untouchable. Do you have anything to say for yourself? Or should I demonstrate just how strong I am before I kill you?" The girl smirked. "I would love to have a look of shock frozen on your face the moment your heart stops beating."
Vegeta laughed in her face. "Alright, little Saiyan. Maybe you have an attitude. But I'd be very careful if I were you. One small misstep and you're little boyfriend will be the next of those dear to you to wind up in the gallows.
With a long, rattling breath of satisfaction, she raised her right hand, summoned her energy, and blasted him. The extreme ray of lavender aura burned his skin and he collapsed to the ground, coughing and shaking.
"Let's see how long you last before I kill you!" She screamed in pure fury, launching every ounce of strength she had towards the king. Once a dust cloud formed, she ran into the cloud, preparing to strike the King in the heart, ending his life for good. And the girl didn't want to miss a single millisecond of it. With a great cry of laughter, hot tears streaming down her sun-darkened face, she brought her fist down to bash in his skull.
And then it met an arm.
The dust cleared, and June found herself staring into the battle-scarred face of Raditz's father, Bardock.
He had blocked her hit.
She would not stand for that.
She growled. "Why have you come here, bastard, this doesn't concern you."
Bardock raised an eyebrow. "If this is my King, this is my business."
June crossed her arms. "And to think I thought you hated him. You're a mindless slave like 'em all. Get out, and let me finish." She smiled, every hint of sanity was gone from once wise eyes. She rammed her fist into his solar plexus, expecting to hear the wonderful sound of ribs shattering.
But nothing, the soldier was not moved.
June's eyes widened with horror, and the light returned. She looked around the palace for a moment and realized what she had done. What she had become. What Kasai had made her. Her frightened face stared back at the warrior before her. Tears were streaming from her eyes, down her jaw. She stared at him with a look that said "Don't hurt me, please help.."
The fear in her face could have melted a heart of steel, but nothing can possibly melt a heart made of wood. A heart that knew what she was capable of.
He raised a fist, and smashed it right into the girl's trembling visage.
She flew around five feet away. June struggled to sit up, and she spat out a bloody tooth. She turned around to face him. In her was the strength to keep fighting. But how could she fight? She didn't know if Bardock was her ally or enemy. How could she? She didn't even know who she was anymore.
Quivering to her feet, she sniffed back blood from her crushed nose. Blood was pouring out of her mouth, no matter how many times she tried to spit it out. After staring blatantly at her opposer for a moment, she began to shuffle toward the door, one step at a time. Suddenly she heard a voice behind her.
"That's right, run away! I bet your brother wished he could have as well you little slut!" It was the King's voice.
Without talking, June reached a hand behind herself, and blasted a shot of ki to where she thought his face would most likely be. Then the girl made a run for it. As soon as he deflected the blast effortlessly, Bardock attempted to pursue her, but she was already gone.

Kasai sat laughing on the hill. "HAHAHA!" He roared. "Did you see that? PRICELESS!"
Bardock sauntered up to him. "That was a dirty trick, Kasai." He spat.
"Dirty?" Kasai questioned. "Why, my dear friend, I'm only humoring myself, hehe. And the look on June's face when she saw you, HA! I bet Frieza would be scared if that happened to him against you! It would be a better face if you were..." He stopped. "Well..."
"Yes?"
He broke into another laugh after silence. "A Super Saiyan! Aww, man!" He wiped away a tear. "This is great! And now...comes the fun part!"
Bardock approached Kasai, grabbing him by the neck. "What fun part?" He snarled.
"You'll see!" He shouted, before giving Bardock a good kick to the side, effectively hitting one of his pressure points, making him release his grip on his throat. He immediately took off into the sky, far away from the clutches of the scarred warrior.
Bardock shook his head and began to walk home.
ISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISIS ISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISI He walked into the house to be greeted by a worried Kakarot. "Did you find Raditz?" he asked. "He told me he was going to the lake, but when I went to go find him he was gone!"
"Huh?" Bardock was puzzled. he wanted-no, he needed to talk to his eldest son.
"He'll be back." Bardock was unsure, but spoke confidently. "Dumb kid can't go three minutes without a meal.
"Okay, daddy!" Replied Kakarot, having complete faith in his father.
Yeah. Bardock thought. He'll be back soon.
ISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISIS ISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISISI OUTTAKES:
She growled. "Why have you come here, bastard, this doesn't concern you."
Bardock blinked in confusion. "Who is this Bardock you speak of?"
June blinked back. "Well, you a-"
"Bitch, I'm BATMAN!"
