Author's note: And at last, we find out if Duke can succeed in making the King pay for his past crimes. The chapter picks up where 5 left off, so don't be too surprised by the action.

---------

Barok leaps at Duke, while Duke jumps to the left, dodging him. Barok skids on the ground, and then spins himself to face Duke again. Barok smiles as he fires a blast of energy at Duke, and runs at top speed following his attack. As Duke deflects the blast, Barok strikes him in the chest knocking the younger Saiyan back. Duke catches himself and peers into Barok's mind to view the old man's next attack. To his surprise he can read no thoughts. Barok simply charges at Duke and swings with his right arm. Duke blocks and swings at Barok's head. The old man simply ducks and strikes Duke in the chest with the top of his head.

Duke is almost phased by the strike and continues, he fires a blast with both hands yet only the first is viable. Barok surprisingly pushes through the first blast, and is struck in the chest by the psychic blast which followed. Barok is hurt by the strange form of energy yet he only seems to let loose a low roar and redoubles his efforts. A part of the young Saiyan is impressed by the old man, but he holds back that emotion for now.

Again Barok's fist comes racing at Dukes head. Duke blocks with his left arm, and strikes with his right. His fist smashes in to Barok's face bruising his eye. Barok responds by striking Duke in the face with the stump of his left arm. The pain shoots through Barok, yet it only fuels his power. Duke is surprised, and taken back by the hit, and Barok takes the opportunity to kick Duke in the chest. Duke is thrown back and slides across the floor.

Barok then focuses his mind, and his thoughts become readable to Duke. Barok looks at Duke and powers up to his full power. He smiles at Duke and asks, "Tell me son, are you Jinrai and Tejina's son by chance?"

Duke looks surprised, "Yeah. How did you know?"

"The trinket around your neck." Responds Barok, with a grin. "Your old man always wore it around his neck. I know because we talked a lot in the bars. Which reminds me he still owed me for two drinks."

"Let me ask you something. How did you shield your thoughts, I couldn't read what you were planning." He asks determined to get an answer.

"It's simple son. I didn't shield my thoughts at all because I didn't have any. I'm able to tap into the most primal part of my mind whenever I fight, its kind of like being an Oozaru. It makes pain more substantial, and I run out of energy faster whenever I do. But I'm completely unpredictable and I have no thoughts to give my intentions away."

"Well I guess this will be a worth wile fight after all." Says Duke as he powers up to his max.

Barok focuses his power in to his hand and begins to roar out again as his thoughts become unreadable. Duke focuses and begins generating a powerful beam of energy in between both of his hands. Barok prepares to fire and than he is gone. Barok reappears against the wall of the throne room, and with pure speed he runs at Duke, and then is gone again. He reappears again, and repeats, throwing off any tactic a normal Saiyan could come up with. King Vegeta looks on, and realizes he may have his hands full with the winner of the fight. Duke smiles at Vegeta's revelation.

As Barok disappears once, Duke takes his best shot and fires his beam where he thinks Barok may appear, his blast narrowly missing Barok. Barok however is able to strike at this point and slams his left shoulder in to Duke's stomach, cracking his armor. Duke is sent back, and Barok flash kicks duke's chest sending him back even further. Barok than focuses his energy in to the center of his hand and his eyes glow blue with the energies gathering. He than yells out in a voice reminiscent of an Oozaru. His words are choppy and loud with the force of his voice. Duke gathers his own energies and focuses them in between his hands.

"Ga-llet Gun Haaa!" His energies erupt from his now extended right hand, and rockets straight toward Duke. Duke stands there and senses a substantial drop in the power down from his palm. Duke smiles and waits until he can almost feel the energy on his skin, and he then fires his own focused and condensed energy beam. Dukes beam disrupts the Gallet Gun and flies toward Barok. As it strikes his hand it is deflected at his chest and blows a hole through Barok. The rest of the beam narrowly strikes King Vegeta.

Barok falls to the ground and he smiles. He looks at Duke and says, "Well kid cough it looks like you've got cough what it takes to over throw the king. Do your old man proud, cough and don't let me down." With that Barok collapses and draws his last breath.

Duke looks at Vegeta, smiles, and says in a mock tone, "Long Live the King."
