Hey sorry everyone for taking so long to update this story. To be honest I had alot of writer's block and was hard to get pass the section with Kakarot and Gohan. So sorry if those parts seem a bit rushed, but I wanted to get on with the story. Secondly I really appreciated all those who reviewed. Thanks to you that was another reason why I kept pushing myself to break out of that block. So thanks again! :)

Once again I am really bad with describing fighting scenes so they might suck. But I tried. :)

Bardock and King Vegeta have resurfaced alive after being thought long dead for seven years. When in reality they have been creating their own rebellion against the Cold Empire. Now with a stolen spaceship, both saiyans have full intentions of recovering their not only lost pride and vows for revenge, but also to regain their children. Prince Vegeta, Raditz, and Kakarot. Meanwhile on earth both boys are continuing their assault on the planet. Can the two adult saiyans reach earth in time before Kakarot and Vegeta destroy it?

Chapter Six: Kakarot vs. Gohan

Planet Earth: Mountain Range

Gohan charged towards Kakarot using what little strength and power he had left within him. Right hand fisted and pulled back in ready to strike position. The old martial artist pushed his fist forward and struck at the young seven year old saiyan boy. But, as always, the skilled warrior remained unfazed and kept his expression completely blank as Gohan's fist neared his face.

Kakarot dodged as he bent his spine backward as he prepared to back flip out of the way. Feeling the air brush against his face as the man's fist passed over him in what seemed like almost slow motion. At this time Kakarot, with both of his small hands pushed down against the grass. He brought his legs up as he back flipped, but at the same time, his right boot connecting with Gohan's jaw in a hard blow.

Gohan took three steps to put some small distance between himself and the boy. Both of his hands grabbing at his aching jaw as it throbbed more than it had before. For he had suffered a similar blow he had endured not too long ago. His eyes winced in pain, but kept one open to not leave his sights off the boy.

Kakarot back flipped three more times, then shifted his gaze back to the old man. Right hand fisted and touching down on the ground while on his knees. His thoughts then began to wonder. This old man wasn't giving up for nothing. He just kept fighting on regardless of how weak and useless his attacks were becoming against him. Soon, he wouldn't doubt, the man would just die out from exhaustion on his own… This was beginning to get annoying to him. The old bastard just wouldn't die. Maybe it was about time he started putting at least some effort into killing him.

Kakarot pushed himself off the ground and charged into flight at Gohan. Using his same tactic as before he used the afterimage fading technique into confusing him into believing he would just strike at him. And, just as that time before, the old man fell for it once again. Maybe it was because he was still trying to regain his senses from his previous injury. Gohan brought his right arm up into defensive position while his left massaged his aching jaw. Kakarot's ghostly faded image passed through him then dispersed. Leaving behind a confused and irritated Gohan.

That same technique again, thought the old martial artist. I bet it'll be his same strategy as before.

Just then, the chibi saiyan reappeared and rammed into Gohan's stomach using his right shoulder. Knocking the air right out of him. But Kakarot didn't finish his attack just yet as he continued on with his offensive strikes. Not giving the old man enough time to react and comprehend just what was going on.

Kakarot struck with a combination of punches aimed at Gohan's chest and stomach area once again. Where he knew the old man was most vulnerable at the moment. Gohan trying his best to block what he could but to no avail. The boy, still at full power, able to penetrate through his poor defenses. This went on for only a few mere seconds, but to Gohan seeming to go on forever. Kakarot stopped then struck with a final spin kick aimed for Gohan's face.

During the split second, for when Kakarot had set an opened-window opportunity for Gohan to see the boy's next move. Gohan could see, through one opened eye, Kakarot's leg pulled back to prepare and kick him. Gohan knew he only had one chance to keep from enduring another harsh blow from this boy. He lifted his left arm up to block the oncoming strike to his face.

Kakarot's right leg connected hard against Gohan's back forearm. This causing searing pain to flow down Gohan's arm and shoulder, but he ignored the agonizing pain and refocusing his attention towards the battle at hand.

Kakarot, narrowed onyx black eyes, fixed on the old man. Gritted his teeth in annoyance. Somewhat surprised at the fact that the old geezer still had some fight left in him. But mostly because he had caught him off guard. Damn his mistakes and arrogance.

Kakarot pushed himself away. Then landed a few feet away from Gohan. Fighter stance ready. His eyes focused on the old mans. Anger, annoyance clearly visible within them.

Gohan let his aching arm drop to his side. His breath ragged and heavy as fatigued grew closer to overwhelming him. He had to hold on. The fate of the planet depended on it. For if this boy succeeded then the earth would meet it's end for sure.

Both stared each other down for a brief moment. Neither one making a sudden move. The warm-cool breeze from the mid noon blew around them. A tense, eerie silence surrounding them.

Vegeta…

Vegeta continued his flight through the light blue skies of this mysterious, yet peaceful planet. Countless thoughts wandering his mind of not only this assignment at hand, but also of the yet unsolved truth of his home planet. The loss of his race… His father. What had really taken place that had caused his mysterious disappearance and death. Did he really die on Planet Vegeta when it exploded? Or was something else the cause of it that Frieza had purposely forgotten to mention to him. Did Vegeta really meet it's end by an asteroid or was Frieza somehow responsible for the untimely events that took place. So many unanswered questions that he didn't have the answer for.

He had told Nappa and Raditz to be patient with him. For in due time he would uncover the truth of what happened that day seven years ago. But he had yet to discover it. So many lives lost that day. So many soldiers who served his father from Royal class to lower. He was one of the lucky ones for Frieza had grown a strange liking to him. Saying he couldn't return to Planet Vegeta, but remain on his spaceship for the time being. Nappa survived miraculously for he was with him the entire time. Then there was Raditz. He must've also been off planet during the explosion. Then, unfortunately, there was Kakarot. The runt of the group. They all survived the destruction of planet Vegeta. And all vowed revenge for what happened to their home planet. All except for Kakarot anyway for he doubted the brat had a clue of what happened. Frieza filled his mind with stories of the possibilities of their planets end. But he knew otherwise.

Vegeta checked his scouter for a brief few seconds. Checking to see that he wasn't much further from his destination point. Only a few more miles to go. The small power levels growing closer. It wouldn't be much longer now.

As his thoughts continued to wander back to the events of seven years ago. Vegeta scouter beeped as it picked up another random signal. Snapping the young pre-teen saiyan out of his train of thoughts. Signals flashed on the small screen soon indicating, with an arrow, pointing below him.

Prince Vegeta stopped mid-flight to scan his surroundings. To make sure his scouter wasn't malfunctioning itself. The machine worked just fine. His eyes followed the arrows indication. Casting down towards the large vast forest filled with many tall trees. So far he couldn't see just quite what his scouter was picking up.

Raising his left hand he removed the device from his eye. Holding it out at arm's length away from himself. "Damn thing. Must be broken," he said to himself. Just then something, from below, caught his eyes. Shifting his gaze down passed the many trees and coming to rest towards the bright green grass. Something that glistened and shined gained his automatic attention. The rays of the noon sun shining down upon it. Just what was it? He couldn't tell from this far away. He needed to get closer.

Thinking of what he should do. His option were either continue on his path towards his current destination or investigate his curiosity.

Vegeta checked back down towards his scouter. His thoughts streaming through his mind. He had more than enough time to destroy this retched planet. What would a few mere minutes cause him? The young saiyan returned his scouter back to where he had it set before, then began to descend his way towards this mysterious object.

Bulma…

Bulma continued her somewhat speeding drive through the many twisting turns of the roads. Both hands, whom were shaking not too long ago from the fear and panic of what happened back at Gohan's home, remained gripped tightly on the steering wheel. The sudden strange earthquake or what felt like an earthquake as it shook the ground violently. While she was frightened by this sudden strange actions, Gohan remained calm and quiet. Not at all phased by what happened.

Gohan, her thoughts wondered, she hoped he was alright and not in harms way. Poor old man. Even for his age did not stop him. Somehow he knew what that strange earthquake was. Question was, what was it? In her thoughts it seemed like an earthquake, but didn't even last two seconds. Just quick, like a small rumble, then stopped. And why didn't any of the forests seemed affected? She shook her head slightly. So many questions was giving her a headache. She needed to relax and focus on making it home. Maybe asking her father might help to answer some of these questions. Plus she wondered if even West City felt it.

The beeping of her dragon radar snapped Bulma out of her rambling thoughts. Her sky blue eyes shifting down towards the passenger side of her dashboard, where her radar was being kept, to take a quick glance. It flashed, showing another dragon ball was in the area. Judging by this the direction was indicating towards her left.

Bulma turned her head in the direction of where the arrow pointed to. Seeing no roads or anything. Just trees from the forest. It was coming from somewhere inside, not too far away. Should she stop to grab it? No, she shook her head. She needed to focus on the objective at hand. Going home just like Gohan said. For who knew what dangers lurked nearby. Still, being who she was, she couldn't help but be at war with herself. She loved adventure, the danger, even though it scared her at times, but couldn't shake off the temptation.

Stopping the car and shifting the gear to park. She went over her options. Investigate and maybe gain another dragon ball to add to the ones she had now. Furthering on her quest to acquire all seven. Or just head home and come back for it later. No one else was tracking for them right? Stupid question. Anyone who knew would come hunting for these things. Maybe she should just go for it. The sooner she got a hold of them, the faster she could make her wish for the perfect man.

"Alright. I'm going for it," said Bulma to no one in particular as she gripped her fist and rose it up until it was at eye level. Determination in her eyes. "Besides with my dragon radar this shouldn't take too long and I can make it back to West City by sundown."

Reaching over to grab the device. She parked her vehicle to the side, turned over the engine, then pulled out the key from the ignition. She stepped out. Locking the door afterwards. Pressing the button on top of the radar to adjust the screen. Bulma began to make her way through the forest.

Vegeta…

Vegeta neared the ground as he passed down a group of tall trees. The mysterious object becoming more identifiable to his eyes. It was a round like object. A color of orange shade as light shined off it's surface from the rays of the sun. It appeared to be the size of one's hand. A child's anyway. Vegeta touched down on the grass surface. Directly beside it. Was this what his scouter was detecting?

He kneeled down to pick it up. Inspecting the object. What was it? He had never come across anything like it before. Turning it around in his palm he then realized it had what appeared like stars hidden from inside. Just what was this strange object.

Kakarot…

Kakarot and Gohan charged towards one another. Both with determination in their eyes. Once in close enough proximity Kakarot struck with a four combo punch aimed towards the old man. Gohan, bringing his arms up just in time, blocked it all. The chibi saiyan then ending his first assault with a spin kick. Once again Gohan managing to avoid contact.

Gohan, given the open opportunity, broke away from his defenses as he pushed Kakarot's leg away. He then counter struck, for he wouldn't allow to give the boy the chance to push away himself, with a right punch aimed at the chibi saiyan's face.

Kakarot bent his spine back as he dodged the oncoming attack. Once again, almost like in slow motion, as he avoided getting hit. He felt the wind pass over him. He then brings his free leg up to try and land a hit underneath Gohan's jaw. The assault being a success as it collided with it's intended target as he back flipped in midair.

Gohan took one step back as his vision blurred for a few seconds. This in which Kakarot took the advantage to continue on with his offensive assault.

Landing onto the ground on all fours, he reacted quick as he merely grazed the ground's surface. Switching his body in quick movements as he swept his right leg and tripped the old man off his feet and onto his back. Kakarot then jumped up into the air. Left leg bended while his right stood out, as he attempted to slam it, once again, into Gohan.

Gohan, regaining his senses and what was going on, managed to see the oncoming attack. Rolled out of harms way to dodge yet another attempt of the same attack from before. This boy was trying to end this and fast. No doubt about it. But he wouldn't allow for it. He wouldn't go down without a fight. Even if there wasn't much left in him. This boy was strong, but not unbeatable. He had to have a weakness.

Kakarot's leg penetrated down to the ground creating a dent in the floor. His target managing to avoid it. Kakarot jumped back. Landing on one hand and knee, then taking fighter stance once again. He had to admit to himself. He actually had to use somewhat effort that time for he felt his chest rise and fall as he breathed slightly. Maybe things are starting to get a little bit interesting with this old timer.

Gohan slowly rose to his feet. Breathing heavy and his jaw aching more than before. Warm blood flowing down the corners of his mouth and down his chin. Bruises and cuts staining his face. The boy, unfazed, unaffected. Just merely calm and quiet as he prepared for another assault. Gohan knew he had to think fast. Or if not, he could kiss his life goodbye. Plus, even if he didn't kill the boy which was not his intention, he needed just enough time to bide to inform Master Roshi of this great threat.

Kakarot hunched his shoulders. Extended his right leg back as he slid it to bend his left knee. Then, at the same time, bringing both of his hands down to touch the ground. He hadn't used this maneuver for quite some time now. But it allowed for his body to moved a lot faster than normal. Almost like in rapid motion. Quick speeds that nearly seems impossible to stop. He needed to end this battle here and now. And large amounts of his energy wasn't necessary to do so. Only enough to beat this old man.

Gohan noticed the boy preparing to attack him once again. So he prepared himself as he took fighter stance once again. Ready to take on defensive position.

Kakarot narrowed his eyes towards the old martial artist. He inhaled then exhaled as he disappeared into thin air using his teleportation technique. Within less than a seconds the young saiyan reappeared on Gohan's right. Right hand fisted then pushed forward to strike. Gohan brought his arm up to block the oncoming attack. Kakarot's fist colliding against Gohan's back forearm. Then the saiyan disappeared once again. Gohan ready for him.

Kakarot reappeared once again. This time on the left side. Same strategy as before, and Gohan blocking once again. He disappeared again. Same thing as before but this time from behind. Kakarot struck with a kick aimed for the old man's upper spine between his shoulder. Gohan evaded as he rolled forward.

Kakarot disappeared between those few seconds, then within seconds, reappeared in front of Gohan. Not giving the man enough time to comprehend what just had happened. He struck with a hard punch at Gohan's stomach. Knocking the air right out of him. He then teleported once again. Continuing his assault as he repeated the same attacks over and over again until he had Gohan completely trapped like a caged animal with no way to escape. His fists and legs colliding against any opened areas where Gohan dropped his guard. This went on for a few seconds then Kakarot deciding the old man had, had enough. He finished his attack.

Back-flipping three times, Kakarot landed on all fours then charged towards Gohan. Fisting both of his hands, he pulled back as his left prepared to strike. Then when he was only a few inches away. Kakarot moved down back as he slid on the ground. Knocking Gohan off his feet and into midair. Kakarot remained beneath him. His onyx black eyes narrowed meeting Gohan's gaze head on.

The saiyan smirked. "Peek-a-boo," he taunted as he brought both of his legs up then pressed them against Gohan's abdomen. Setting both of his gloved hands on the ground, Kakarot pushed upward. Sending Gohan into the air. The young saiyan then disappearing.

Kakarot reappeared in mid-flight beside the old martial artist. Then picking up his pace as he moved above Gohan. Facing his back. Twisting his body to the side, Kakarot folded his right arm as he slammed his elbow hard against Gohan's back. Right on his spine. This sent Gohan flying down at high speeds towards the ground. The chibi saiyan teleported just as quickly.

Gohan landed on the ground hard. Excruciating pain expressed on his face as he shut his eyes tightly. His teeth gritted. Now his pain upgraded tenfold.

Teleporting a few feet away from Gohan. Kakarot, deciding to end this beat down, dropped his right hand down to his side and held it a few inches away from him. Hand open-palmed as light blue energy began to gather within the center of his hand. In seconds it grew until it surrounded his entire hand.

"Lights out," said Kakarot.

Gohan slowly began to return to his senses. Feeling the complete soreness in his body. His right hand fisted and resting against the grass. His breathing ragged and heavy. Fatigue closing in. Gohan then shifted his gaze forward. Watching as a ball of energy began to form in the boy's hand. So this was finally it. He was going to end his life here. At the hands of this boy.

Vegeta…

Vegeta continued to eye the mysterious object in his hand as he turned it around in his palm. Just what exactly was this thing suppose to be? And importantly it's purpose.

His scouter sets off. A very low power level. Not even to be concerned about neared closer to him by the second. His screen lit up the usual numbers and symbols then stopped not too long afterwards. An arrow pointed in front of him. Someone approaching him from a group of bushes that resided in-between two trees. Vegeta shifted his gaze towards the direction his scouter indicated towards.

"I seem to be getting closer," said Bulma as she used her right hand to push away through some bushes in front of her. Showing her into a small clearing that was encircled by a group of trees. Her blue eyes fixed on her dragon radar which beeped once she neared the dragon ball. "And here it is! Yes another dragon ball!"

Before Bulma could continue on with her celebration for encountering another dragon ball. She stops as her eyes came into contact with another's. Fear suddenly overwhelming her.

Kakarot…

"Time to end this!," shouted Kakarot as he pulled his arm back to unleash the energy blast.

Gohan, knowing his fate was at the hands of this boy, gathered whatever small amounts of strength he had left to push himself up onto all fours. Sweat pouring down the sides of his face. He breathed as he did so. This was it.

Meanwhile Elsewhere…

Coordinates Unknown

"Well that's the last of them I guess," spoke up Nappa as he checked his scouter. No traces of other life forms detected in their general area. The once proud city that resided as the planet's main capital all gone. Nothing but rubble and ruined buildings with shattered windows and dead corpses along the many roads. A complete ghost town.

Nappa shifted his gaze down towards his partner whom helped him demolish this place. Along with other areas around. "Looks like our job here is done. No point in remaining."

"Yeah I guess you're right," replied Raditz. His eyes scanning their surroundings. Complete destruction displayed before them. Not a single sign of life detected. "Let's go."

"Raditz. Nappa. Can one of you hear me?," spoke up a voice through Raditz's scouter. One of Frieza's elites that was certain. He wondered what the bastard wants this time.

"This is Raditz. Go ahead," replied the young teen.

"A message from Lord Frieza sir. We have lost contact with Cui's ship a few hours ago. Lord Frieza orders that both you and Nappa investigate this ordeal as soon as possible. We have a feeling it has something to do with the package being delivered to his father. Your orders are set immediately to take action."

"Like we have much of a choice," mumbled Raditz to himself. Keeping his tone inaudible to the elite on the other side. "Got it. Nappa and I will set out now." Turning off the communications function on his scouter. Raditz's looks up towards his partner. "Looks like we got another assignment."

Nappa crossed his arms over his chest. "Doing what this time?"

"Investigation."

Raditz and Nappa have just recieved news of Cui and his missing crew. Meanwhile Kakarot has Gohan in his hands as it seems their battle has finally reached it's end. Will Kakarot destroy Gohan? Or will someone step in to save him. And what of Vegeta? What has the young pre-teen saiyan discovered? The dragonballs?

Well that's the end of this chapter. Not my best work I know. Sorry if it sounded a little rushed but I had to get pass all this part to continue. Anyway like always R&R and tell me what you think. No flames. Your reviews are greatly appreciated.
