    Just started DB Series

    Posted: 05 Jul 2020 08:45 PM PDT

    So I just started the series from the original Dragon Ball anime. Any tips for watching? And does it get better as it goes on and gets into the DBZ series? To be honest so far I'm not sure what to make of it, but I heard dragon ball z is where things get more entertaining?

    Why doesn't a more powerful fighter decapitate his opponent?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2020 09:21 PM PDT

    Only a few DB characters have regeneration characteristics. Everyone else will die if they are decapitated. I feel like a very powerful fighter can decapitate his weaker opponent and end the fight in seconds.

    My curse to DragonBall what-if'ery... enjoy... or don't... Masakox... you know what must be done... (Part 1)

    Posted: 05 Jul 2020 09:12 PM PDT

    Frieza's resurrection after the tournament of power meant he once more was free to terrorize the universe. Flushed out of their hiding place time and time again by Frieza's forces, a small forgotten warband of saiyans gave up hope of ever living out the rest of their lives peacefully with their spoils. While on a remote world, they hear of a rumor of seven golden orbs that can grant any three wishes the collector desires and that they are guarded by two unfathomably powerful saiyans. This peaks the saiyans' interest and they decide to head to Earth to search for these "magic wish orbs". The saiyans cause trouble on Earth during their search, blowing up buildings, starting forest fires, and killing police officers trying to stop them. Vegeta, who comes back from training with Whis, hears about the happenings on Earth and decides to investigate. When he finds the saiyans, following their trail of mayhem, they already have the dragon summoned and are making the last wish for the saiyan race to be revived. He confronts them just as the dragon has dissipated and the dragon balls are being scattered. He asks: "What the hell are you people doing on my planet?!" To which the saiyans are flabbergasted. They recognize the iconic hairstyle of king Vegeta. They didn't expect the prince to be alive, much less be on this planet. "We seek assistance to take down Frieza once and for all, and to restore the glory of our race and your father, your highness!" Vegeta is stunned. He never thought about reviving his race with the dragon balls and he certainly never thought that there were other saiyans out there. "You come looking for help? A saiyan seeking help?!...." says Vegeta. A female saiyan who appears to be the leader of the group speaks: "It was the only way, your highness. We don't stand a chance against Frieza and his army." Vegeta: "And you think the best way to ask for my help is to attack my world?!" Female saiyan: "Please prince Vegeta! We had no idea this world was dear to you!" After berating the saiyans for wreaking havoc on Earth, he decides to accompany the warband to planet Vegeta. In Vegeta's mind, he is conflicted about the return of his race. He is a proud saiyan, and he feels nostalgic about his home world. But he also has grown attached to Earth and his family. Would his father accept that? He then remembers his past under the saiyans and Frieza. Could my own race be a threat to my family and home? After about a month, they arrive on planet Vegeta. Just as they are landing they can see the palace and the slums surrounding it. Below, thousands of saiyans are going about their daily lives, many walking the streets, buying things from the market, children sparring in the training fields. One hulking saiyan is seen being tackled by several guards for tossing a shopkeeper through a wall and out onto the street. Upon touchdown, attendants and technicians on the landing deck begin servicing the craft that Vegeta and the others arrived in. Vegeta and the others step out of the craft. One by one, attendants and technicians begin staring at Vegeta. After a pause, they drop everything and bow. Vegeta, uncomfortable with all the attention, demands to see the king. The palace towers over the city. Vegeta is once again overcome by nostalgia as he climbs the old stairs and walks down the hallways with paintings of his forefathers on the walls... all two of them. Once he reaches the throne room, he bursts through the doors. The king is furious at first because someone has interrupted his war meeting with his top lieutenants. The royal guards put their hands on Vegeta to arrest him, but are repulsed back by a shock wave from Vegeta releasing ki. The king then recognizes Vegeta, letting out a hearty laugh and saying: "Prince Vegeta! My boy! You've grown strong!" "You're just in time to help us wreak vengeance on Frieza!" Vegeta wanted to tell his father how he was Earth's protector now and how he has a family on Earth. But inside, he was too tripped up over seeing his father again... and the notion of getting even with Frieza for taking him away... Vegeta could only let out "Yes father." The king then asks who the group of lower-class warriors are that came with him. After the explanation about the dragon balls and the events leading up to that, the king then says: "You four have saved our race, restored it's glory, and delivered my son back to me!" "From now on, all of you are now elite-class warriors and each of you has earned their weight in silver!" After this, the saiyans thank the king, bow, and exit the throne room. The king, with his arm wrapped around Vegeta's shoulders, guides them both over to a long table in the center of the room. Around the table sit several saiyan generals in ornate battle armor. The table is covered in star charts, stratagems, war game boards, and logistical reports. Vegeta sits down next to the king, but only after the king forces his top general to move from the spot. The meeting continues. The generals hash out the petty details of their strategy. Their voices boom through the heavy doors and down the grand hallway.

    One month earlier: At first, all that can be seen is empty space. But suddenly, a planet begins to materialize out of a single point as if it were a whirlpool in reverse. On the surface, the same scenery that was seen during Vegeta's arrival; the palace, the slums, the training fields, the stall where the shopkeeper was thrown through a wall, all appear. Then, bright lights appear in the shape of humanoids. After a moment, the lights explode into twinkling dust and the long dead saiyans appear. They all are shocked and in disbelief. Many feel themselves over with their hands to confirm if this was really happening. The king in his throne room, punches himself in the gut and laughs "Can it really be true? I'm alive!". In the training fields, in a deep crater: Bardock has been revived. He too is confused and disbelieving of it all. He has a hyper realistic flashback in which he remembers his crew getting wasted by Dodoria and his last words with Tora. He caresses the red bandanna around his head. The flashback resumes. He sees his fight with Frieza's men above planet Vegeta, the supernova coming toward the planet, and his final spirit cannon before he is violently ripped apart by Frieza's attack. The flashback ends. Bardock curses his weakness from back then, but moves on to finding out what happened to bring him back to the world of the living. He flies into town to discover that everyone else is back too. He's very puzzled at this point. He lands and immediately is greeted by other saiyans on the street. He asks them if they have any clue to what the hell just happened to which they respond with "no idea" "maybe it was just a bad dream". Bardock replies: "Bad dreams don't happen simultaneously with thousands of people." It is at this point that Bardock remembers his lover Gine. He dashes home leaving everyone confused as to where he is going. When he gets to the house, he can hear Gine and her coworker talking inside about the miracle of being alive again. Bardock bursts into the house. Gine drops a giant leg of meat. They look at each other for all of two seconds before they rush to each other, giving one another a tight hug. After a long moment of embrace they step back. Gine exclaims how great it is to see him again. Bardock just smiles warmly. The moment doesn't last. Bardock hears the soft bubbling of the incubation tank in the other room. He dashes towards it to find it empty. He realizes what has happened. Gine isn't far behind him and once she sees the incubation tank, she becomes solemn. Bardock becomes enraged. He thinks: "Somehow, we were brought back." "Everything that I remember is real. My crew. Frieza. My own demise. Kakarot..." He looks to Gine and says: "I'm going after him." Gine is silent for a moment. "Let me go with you." Bardock replies: "No, it's too dangerous." "And we both know that you aren't the fighter type." Gine fires back: "He's my son too, Bardock!" Bardock pauses. "Alright, let's go." Gine's expression brightens and she starts off towards the door. But before she can reach it, Bardock lands a chop to the back of her head, folding her on the ground and knocking her unconscious. He picks her up and places her on the bed in the other room. After putting a travel bag together with supplies for the journey, he heads out to the launch pad. Everyone is still a bit dazed from their revival so when Bardock goes to steal a spacecraft, nobody lifts a finger. After he takes off, Bardock begins thinking that if all saiyans on planet Vegeta were revived, perhaps his old crew would be alive too. He speeds off into the direction of planet Meat. When he arrives, he finds a small Frieza force garrison. The Frieza force hadn't sold the planet yet. After a lengthy battle with the garrison, Bardock comes out on top. He had grown a lot in power due to the zenkai boost from being killed and brought back. Bardock revels in his victory over the garrison and his new powers, but his glee is short-lived. He realizes that if the Frieza force garrison on this planet was still alive, it could only mean two things: The garrison had killed his crew again. Or they were never revived in the first place. Bardock was grief stricken, but more importantly: angry*.* He lets out an agonizing yell and releases his ki. The sky turned dark and lightning struck all around. A faint glow flickered around Bardock. His hair flashed from black to gold, gold to black. He opened his eyes and they were a soft teal-green. Suddenly, his ki exploded. The flash of light was so intense, it could be seen on a neighboring planet. After the light dimmed, Bardock stood as a full fledged super saiyan. Since it was his first time, Bardock had a tough time staying in the transformation. He reverts back to base form after about a minute of being a super saiyan. He was still angry about his comrades' demise, but he couldn't help but to think: "What the hell just happened?" He gets back on his ship and takes off for Earth. Meanwhile Gine is waking up from her involuntary nap. She's dazed for a few minutes, but soon remembers what happened. "BARDOCK!!!" She screams. She dashes out of the house and flies as quick as she can to the launch pad. When she arrives, all of the workers at the launch pad are going about their duties, servicing craft for missions and taking inventory of cargo. She asks frantically "Has anyone seen a man named Bardock?" "He should have left in a spacecraft not too long ago!" One of the workers responded: "Look lady, we service and launch dozens of sorties per hour. What makes you think we would remember a guy with a common name like Bardock?" A female worker says playfully: "If you want to keep a man long enough to cross tails with you, you have to ease up on the pursuit." The launch pad erupts with laughter. The workers return to their work while snickering and gossiping about their own mates and ex-mates. Gine is visibly embarrassed. But she decides to forgo asking for help and sneaks onto a craft to hijack it. Unknown to Gine, there was a hulk of a saiyan inside that caught her getting into the cockpit. He picks her up by her collar and tosses her out of the ship. The commotion attracts the attention of guards on the pad. Gine is grabbed and taken back to the slums where she is thrown into the mud and told never to come back. She stays kneeling in the mud for a moment while softly sobbing.

    One month forward: The war meeting in king Vegeta's throne room is wrapping up. It has been decided that prince Vegeta will lead an attack on an important trade world in Frieza's empire. Vegeta makes way towards the launch pad, accompanied by twenty others including the king's top general. Twenty-one attack pods had been prepared for their arrival. The pods bring back memories for Vegeta. He remembers once more how he traveled in pods just like these, wiping out entire civilizations throughout the galaxy. He gets a bad feeling in his stomach. The prince and the twenty saiyans board the pods and launch into outer space. When they arrive at the target, they come smashing down into a garrison fortress filled with Frieza force soldiers. The battle commences as soon as the saiyans exit their pods. The battle is hectic but does not last too long. For Vegeta, these Frieza force troops are less than dust mites in power. Vegeta holds back most of his power. But for the saiyans that came along, the battle proves to be much more dangerous. Six of the saiyans are killed in the fight. Two are grievously wounded. The fighting pours out into the city surrounding the garrison headquarters. Citizens are fleeing while the Frieza force troops and local police attempt to contain the saiyan advance. Vegeta is shocked at what happens next. The saiyan troops began shooting ki blasts at fleeing civilians while the Frieza force troops and police attempted to shield the civilians from the saiyans. Vegeta had been told at the meeting that this mission only involved destroying the garrison on the world and taking control, not genocide of the inhabitants. Vegeta snaps and says: "What the hell do you think you're doing? None of these people have done anything to us!" The general retorts: "I never expected the prince of all people to become so soft. We took over the planet and to the victors go the spoils!" Vegeta says: "I'm not going to let you kill all of these innocent people!" "There's no honor or glory in any of this." The general lets out a sinister chuckle and says: "First I get moved from my rightful place at the king's side, then I find out the person replacing me is a coward. You don't deserve to be prince. You don't even deserve to breathe!" The general, aware that Vegeta eclipsed his own power but not by how much, fires a massive ki wave at Vegeta. After the dust settled, it became clear to the general just how powerful Vegeta was. Vegeta pointed two fingers at the general and after a brief flash, he was no more. The other saiyans turn to look at Vegeta in both fear and awe. They demand to know why but Vegeta does not answer them. He simply tells them to finish off the remaining Frieza force troops and that if he sees them attack another civilian that he will end them.

    Bardock by now is just arriving on Earth. As he enters orbit, his scouter picks up several high power levels... 40,000.. 3,000.. 65,000.. 80,000.. 85,000.. 600,000?!.. "Has Frieza beaten me here?" "Surely this world is too puny and worthless for Frieza to care about?" After a few revolutions around Earth, Bardock decides to risk it. Maybe Kakarot needed his help. To his surprise, nothing seemed to have happened on the surface. No destroyed cities. No smoke. No lights from explosions over the horizon. He relaxes a bit. Maybe it wasn't Frieza. "But who could a power level of 600,000 belong to?" thought Bardock. He flies off towards a nearby city to look for Kakarot. "How long has it even been since we died? Kakarot could be any age! Is he even still alive?" Below, humans going about their daily lives look up and see a flying man pass over. Panic erupts. "Is it aliens?!" "Is Cell back?!" Upon those words, hysteria ensues as people attempt to hide from Bardock whom they think is Cell. Bardock scoffs at the humans' cowardice and flies off into the countryside. "There weren't any significant battle powers there anyway." "Perhaps that 3,000 power level reading I got earlier will be more promising." Earlier at capsule corp: Trunks and Goten are playing hide and seek. Bulma, Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, Chiaotzu, and 18 are on the balcony having a hangout. Chi chi walks out onto the balcony and exclaims: "Once again my husband has abandoned our family to go train!" "I can't even get him to look after Goten while I go out for supplies!" To which Bulma replies: "I hear ya Chi chi, saiyans never have a shred of responsibility. My dear husband, the prince of all two saiyans, has been gone over a month without telling me anything. uuuuuuh." Krillin to Piccolo: "I don't like it. Some jerks show up, trash up several cities, cause major disasters, Shenron gets summoned, and Vegeta disappears without a trace." Piccolo: "Yes and from what we saw on the news, these attackers looked to be saiyans..." Krillin: "What?" Piccolo: "Huh?!? Do you guys feel that?!" Krillin: "No, whaaaaaa... It's like Goku but it isn't. It's too weak to be him." Piccolo: "This isn't good. It could be more saiyans." "We have to protect the innocent people." Piccolo, Tien, and Krillin speed off towards the unknown fighter. Goten and Trunks, having witnessed them fly off, attempt to fly off too, but with the help of 18, Chi chi and Bulma reign them in. Bardock at this point is closing in on the power signal that interests him. He has flown over miles and miles of ocean and as he nears the signal, he spots a small island with a lone house on it. Kame house in all its glory stands before Bardock. He lands and shouts for Kakarot to come out. Kakarot doesn't come out. Bardock, frustrated, blows the front of the house off with a ki blast. When the smoke clears, two things are clear. Kakarot was not the one inside and blowing up the house was one of the worst mistakes Bardock had ever made. Not because he was in any danger of reprisal, but because inside was master Roshi without any pants. Bardock dry heaves. After a moment of nothing but pure disgust and regret, without looking at Roshi he asks: "So... have you met anyone by the name of Kakarot?" Roshi didn't say anything. He just picked his shades up out of the debris, put on the pants that were laying on the sofa, and powered up. Bardock then looks to see a buff old man blitzing him. It was on. Roshi drop kicks Bardock in the chest, sending him skipping across the water. Bardock recovers and powers up himself, charging back towards Roshi. Roshi side-steps Bardock and punts him into the sky. Roshi follows Bardock as he's sent flying and chops Bardock on the back of the head, sending him careening down until belly flopping on the water. Bardock floats there for a bit before sinking below the water. Roshi powers down and starts to descend. Suddenly, Bardock explodes from the water into the sky, coming right for Roshi. Roshi tried to power back up but he was too slow. Bardock headbutts Roshi in the stomach sending him flying upward. He then teleports behind Roshit and piledrives him into the island. Roshi tries to stand up but Bardock gives him a swift kick to the back which partially buries the old master in the sand. Bardock then picks Roshi up out of the sand by his neck and asks: "Where is my son? Where is Kakarot?" Bardock tightens his grip on the old man's neck. "Did you kill him?" An alert on his scouter interrupts the moment. Krillin, Tien, and Piccolo just arrived. To their horror it looked like Goku was about to kill Roshi. Krillin: "Goku what are you doing? Roshi is our master, did you forget?" Piccolo: "...That's not Goku. It's someone else..." Krillin: "Are you sure? He looks exactly like Goku. His energy even feels like goku." Piccolo: "Just look in his eyes. It's not him." Krillin: "Well that's a relief... But who cares? We have to save master Roshi!" Bardock had seen their power levels using his scouter. 600,000 for the namekian, 40,000 for the short one and 65,000 for the tall one. He was shaken up by Piccolo, but he refused to show weakness to the enemy. He shouted: "If you guys want to interfere in my business with the old man, be prepared to die!!" The three Z-fighters charge Bardock. Bardock with all of his experience in the Frieza force invading worlds, was used to being triple teamed. He effortlessly dodges Krillin's and Tien's attacks but finds a much harder fight in Piccolo. Bardock knocks Krillin away and blasts Tien in the legs which wounds Tien badly. Piccolo takes advantage of the opening and ax-smashes Bardock into the water. Piccolo follows Bardock underwater and delivers a flurry of punches which knock the air from Bardock. Bardock attempts to escape the water by dashing up and away from Piccolo, but just as Bardock breaks the surface, Krillin comes down like a spear and kicks the saiyan back into the water. Bardock doesn't resurface. Piccolo and Krillin meet up at Kame house to tend to master Roshi and Tien. Roshi is still knocked out, but Tien is awake and with both of his legs broken. Piccolo and Krillin are just about to fly Roshi and Tien to Korin's tower when a bright light shines in the water. Piccolo and Krillin feel the power beneath the waves and Krillin is terrified. Piccolo smirks and says: "I never thought I would need to go all out against this guy. Stay here and protect these two. I'll handle this." The light gets even brighter and Bardock explodes once more from the water. His power is enough to create violent waves 50 feet high. Piccolo flies up to meet Bardock. He says: "I never thought I would get a chance to fight a super saiyan again." Bardock's lust for blood is halted for a moment. Bardock is confused by what Piccolo means. But this doesn't last long as the blood lust returns. Bardock fires a volley of ki waves at Piccolo, but Piccolo just deflects them. Bardock, angered, charges at Piccolo throwing punches and kicks, Piccolo evading them all. Piccolo counters with a kick to the chin, causing Bardock to fly up high into the sky. Bardock at this moment was livid. He charges a massive ki wave and fires it at kame house. Piccolo moves to intercept it. He deflects it with some difficulty. But just as he does, Bardock appears next to Piccolo and blasts him in the side of the head with a much smaller but still hard hitting blast. Piccolo falls to Kame house. Krillin shouts: "NO! PICCOLO!!!" Piccolo hits the ground with a sizable crater under him which slowly fills with sea water. Bardock begins charging his signature the final spirit cannon. He's going to blast them all away; kame house, Roshi, Piccolo, Tien, Krillin. But just before he launches the attack, he hears a hoarse voice shouting to him. "Stop! I know where to find Kakarot!" It was Roshi. Bardock doesn't power down the attack and demands: "I want my son, old geezer. Where is he?!?" Roshi says: "He's not on this planet right now but I can take you to him." Bardock pauses, mulling over whether to trust this disgusting old man or blow the lot of them to kingdom come. He powers down and descends to the island. Once more he says: "Take me to my son and if you're lying I will make you all sorry." After it had been established the fight was over, Krillin took Tien and flew to Korin's tower. Piccolo got up after writhing out of the crater in pain and looked angrily at Bardock. Bardock just looks and says: "We can finish this little farce now if you want. I've never had namekian and I'm itching to try it." Piccolo: "Who the hell are you and what do you want with Goku?" Bardock: "I don't know who Goku is, but Kakarot is my son. The rest is none of your business." He then turns to Roshi: "Hurry and take me to my son before I start to rethink this act of mercy!" They then fly off towards capsule corp.

    Around this time, Vegeta returns from his mission. All but seven of the twenty-one pods that left have returned. When asked by a saiyan officer what happened to the general and the six soldiers, Vegeta just responded with: "Missing in action." Vegeta bursts into his father's throne room. "Why am I not surprised!!" Vegeta says. The king, sitting in his throne decorated by ornate skulls asks: "What could surprise a prince of Vegeta?" "I shudder to think such a thing could exist." Vegeta: "Ok smartass. You know why I am angry." King V: "No son, I'm afraid I do not." Vegeta: "You sent us, not to destroy Frieza's control over a valuable trade planet, but to take the planet for yourself and sell it." "I thought you would have learned by now after being dead for 40 years that there's no glory, no gain from this business." King V: "Son, one day when you become king, you will understand why these things must be done." Vegeta: "No. We saiyans have caused too much pain in the cosmos. Never let me hear of you doing it again." Vegeta then turns and begins walking out of the throne room. "I know it was you that killed Radis." Vegeta stops. "That's right. I know it was you that killed my top general. No one on that pitiful planet could muster up the battle power to defeat him. Only you possess that kind of power, and your words here only pin the motive to the crime. So what if I don't give in to the demands of a prince to a king? Are you going to eliminate your dear father to get what you want?" Vegeta calmly replies: "I'm a saiyan. That should tell you all you need to know." Vegeta then keeps walking. King Vegeta becomes furious. He throws an intense ball of ki at Vegeta. Vegeta catches it and crushes it in his hand. The royal guard try jumping Vegeta from behind. Vegeta once more repels the guards into the walls of the throne room with his ki. Without a break, Vegeta then sends another shockwave at king Vegeta who was about to throw another blast at Vegeta, knocking him against his throne and sending him tumbling down the steps. Vegeta looks at his father for an extended moment. King Vegeta was barely able to sit up. They looked at each other for a while, father and son, two sides of a mirror. Vegeta walks out of the throne room.

    Back on Earth: Bardock, Roshi, and Piccolo arrive at capsule corp. Bardock looks around at the place and isn't impressed. "So how is this place supposed to help us go to Kakarot? I have a ship that we could take." Bardock was about to threaten Roshi's life again when he spotted Goten. Bardock says: "I thought you said Kakarot was off-world? Are you guys dense or something?" He runs over to Goten and picks him up off the ground, squeezing him tight. "GOKU YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE!!!" Says Chi chi as she dashes at hyper speed towards Bardock wielding a broom. Bardock turns around and looks at her like a deer in headlights. But before Chi chi can break the broom over Bardock's head, Piccolo stops her. "Let. Go. Of. Me." Says Chi chi as she pokes Piccolo with the broom. Piccolo says: "That's not Goku!" Chi chi: "What do you mean he isn't Goku? Yes he is!" Piccolo: "It isn't! It's Goku's dad!" Chi chi falls silent. Everyone begins to look concerned. Suddenly Goten asks: "If you're my dad's dad, that means you're my grandpa right?" Bardock looks at Goten. "It's nice to meet you grandpa." Bardock's expression softens. He says: "So this isn't Kakarot, but his son?" Everyone nods their heads. He feels tears welling up inside but he keeps his composure. "So. How were we going to see Kakarot?" Roshi asks Bulma to call Whis and offer a delicious meal to the angel, so that he would come to Earth with Goku.

    Two weeks earlier on planet Vegeta: Gine is working her normal job in the meat distribution center. The sun is setting and her shift is coming to an end. After closing up shop and wishing her coworkers goodbye, she sets out to enact her plan. She plans to stow away on a hyper freighter used for interstellar trade. They are the fastest ships in the universe, it will take about two weeks to reach the trade post. From there Gine plans to steal a smaller ship to travel to Earth. She had spent the past few days sneaking into the quartermaster's office to find out which ship she needed to ride. Now all that's left to do is sneak aboard while no one is looking. She swipes a scouter off of a guard when he sets it down on a table. "This will come in handy" she thinks to herself. She stakes out the launch pad for hours before the ship finally arrives. She watches the cargo being unloaded. As they finish unloading, they begin loading attack pods onto the hyper freighter. "Perfect. There's my ticket to Earth from the trade post." She turns on her scouter, which picks up every power signature on the ship and the launch pad. After all the pods are loaded the cargo doors begin to shut on the freighter. "Now's my chance" Gine darts over the launch pad, being mindful of the workers and guards, and leaps into the ever closing gap in the door. After entering, her scouter picks up two power signals coming from the front of the ship to the back. She quickly hides behind a rack of attack pods. Two of the ship's crew had come to check out the noise Gine had made when she landed. After a while, the two crewmen leave. Gine sighs out of relief. Moments later, she feels the ship take off and exit the gravity well of Vegeta within a span of minutes.

    Back to the present on Earth: Bardock had been patiently waiting for Kakarot to arrive. He sat far away from everyone else on the edge of the balcony. Not long after Bulma made the call to Whis, everyone began questioning him about his past, the saiyans, who Goku's mother was, what was planet Vegeta like. Bardock was not used to this kind of conversation, especially around so many people. So eventually he got upset with them and moved to a more secluded spot. "I guess the old saying 'like father like son' doesn't apply here, eh Chi chi?" said Bulma. Chi chi replies: "Yeah he's not as open and friendly like Goku, but he's more serious. I kind of like it. Maybe I could get him to tend the fields." Piccolo: "Yeah he's serious. A serious pain in the side of my head." Roshi: "At least you didn't have the front end of your house blown off! Kids these days don't understand how hard good wood is to come across. Heh!" Piccolo: "I don't even have a house." Roshi: "Well now I don't have my vintage movie collection either!" Chi chi and Bulma look at Roshi in disgust. Everyone else pretends nothing happened. Bardock with his back turned to everyone displays a look of sheer horror and realization. Suddenly a stream of light stretching from the sky to the ground appears in the yard. Whis had arrived with Goku. Bardock jumps off of the balcony and into the yard. Goku and Bardock stare at each other for awhile. Just as Goku begins to take a step forward, Bardock charges and punches Goku in the gut. Goku punches Bardock back, sending him into the sky. Goku flies after Bardock. Krillin and Tien try to help Goku, but are stopped by Piccolo who just shakes his head. Above, Goku and Bardock engage in a tempestuous battle. Bardock kicks Goku in the face sending him flying. Goku follows up with instant transmission and a knee to the back of the head. Bardock is impressed. "Nice parlor trick you have there, Goku." says Bardock. Goku: "If you think that's great, watch this." Goku turns into a super saiyan with a blinding light. Shocked to see Goku become a super saiyan, Bardock just says: "Wow." His shock does not last though. Bardock too transforms into a super saiyan with the same blinding light. He and Goku just smirk at each other. The battle commences again. Goku charges Bardock, landing a massive hook on Bardock's face. Bardock shakes it off and kicks Goku in the stomach. The battle goes on like that for a while, with Bardock and Goku 'taking turns' landing hits. Eventually, Bardock figures out that Goku isn't even trying. "What, did you think I was never going to catch on? Don't make a fool out of me! I want your all!" Bardock says, as he charges Goku. As Bardock approaches he is blinded by yet another blinding light from Goku. This time, however, the light was blue. Bardock stopped and turned on his scouter. Nothing. "How can his power level be nothing? He'd have to be dead!" Bardock thought. "What kind of stunt are you trying to pull Kakarot? A fighting power of zero? No way!" he says. Bardock is then struck by something he neither saw or heard. He doubles over from the pain. "How is this possible?" Bardock tries to attack Goku, but he can't even touch him. Goku dodges every strike. After a bit of this Bardock yells out in frustration: "How can you have a power level of zero but make my every move look like I was standing still?!" Goku looks at him for a moment and smiles. Bardock is sent flying into a fountain. Bardock wakes up on the lawn. It's dark out. Everyone had started eating the feast that Bulma had promised Whis. As Bardock got up, he heard laughing and conversation on the balcony above. He stood there thinking about everything. He thought about Goku and the life his son had made on Earth. His thoughts moved on to his fallen crew, his former comrades. "Kakarot has a hell of a life here on earth. He's grown strong too. Should I even be trying to get him to come back with me?" Bardock turns around and begins to fly away. Before he can leave he hears someone call after him. "Yo. What's the rush? There's plenty of food for everyone!" Goku says. Bardock turns around and looks at Goku. "If you want to come join us, you're always welcome to." Bardock's stomach growls. He hadn't eaten anything since the trip to Earth. Bardock accepts and joins Goku and his friends for a meal.

    Back on planet Vegeta: Vegeta after sightseeing for old times sake was about to leave the planet for Earth. When the prince arrived at the launch pad, he immediately walked over to an attack pod. As he was about to board the pod, two guards attempted to stop him. Vegeta just glared at them and they slunk back. He boards the pod and punches in a course for home. As he lifts off and into space, he thinks about everything that transpired. The saiyans destroying cities on earth looking for the dragon balls, his mission to the trade world, the confrontation with his father. He begins thinking that maybe he was right to question the merit of his race's return. An hour into space, Vegeta begins to get a bad feeling in his gut. Minutes later he can sense a huge power approaching planet Vegeta. There is no question. "It's... Frieza." Vegeta thinks very hard for a moment. He then turns back around towards planet Vegeta.

    On Earth: Bardock had just finished the story of how he was revived and his trip to Earth. Everyone was intrigued and began asking about planet Vegeta. "What do saiyan children do for fun? It sounds boring there." asks Krillin. "Fight." replies Bardock. Krillin: "Ok... what about adults? Surely you guys have sports or something?" Bardock: "...Fight. We hold war games a lot. That's the closest thing to a sport on planet Vegeta." Roshi: "What about any cute saiyan ladies? No place is boring if it has ladies! Heh Heh!" Bardock stares disbelievingly at Roshi. Chi chi strikes Roshi with the broom she almost used on Bardock, breaking it in half over Roshi's bald head. Everyone else laughs. Except Goku. He can feel something terrible happening far out in space. Slowly his friends and Bardock begin to notice his sour expression. "C'mon Kakarot, your wife is one hell of a woman! She might not be a saiyan, but she sure has the spirit!" says Bardock. "Goku what's wrong?" says Piccolo. "Something is wrong and Vegeta might be in trouble!" says Goku. Bardock: "Wait, the prince, the king or the planet?" Goku looks at Bardock for a time. "Yes." says Goku. Bardock tries to say something but Goku cuts him off: "Grab my shoulder. We're going to planet Vegeta." Bardock thinks Goku is joking but after Goku explains that instant transmission is more than a parlor trick, they teleport.

    Half an hour earlier: Gine is making her final approach to Earth. Her scouter had detected massive power levels rising and falling hours earlier. She began to worry. Had Frieza or his men attacked Bardock? Was he dead? She refused to believe it. She pressed on. Upon landing, she was set upon by human armed forces that detected her pod entering the atmosphere. Though the humans had no chance of winning, Gine had no interest in fighting them. She just wanted to see her son. The humans soon lost sight of Gine when she dashed off into a nearby city. Following her scouter to a cluster of high power levels, she dashed through the streets of West City. Cars swerved to avoid her as she played leapfrog over them. Upon arriving at capsule corp she scaled the walls and rushed for Bulma's house. Just as she was coming around to the backyard, her scouter read that two of the big power levels were gone. She hears people talking and decides to hide for a bit. Because her power level wasn't that high, no one noticed her come. But after a few minutes, Piccolo feels a faint battle power on the roof. Thinking it's just Goten or Trunks, he casually flies up to check it out. But to his surprise Gine is up there. Piccolo shouts for Krillin and Tien who fly up without delay. Piccolo is about to attack when he notices how scared Gine looks. He hesitates and asks: "Who are you and what do you want? We have had enough saiyans causing trouble here!" Gine says: "A...a..are you guys with Frieza?" Piccolo looks at her for a moment. She's trying to look unafraid but there's a faint quiver in her legs. "No. We're not with Frieza. He's not even close to the most popular character around here." says Piccolo. Gine relaxes a bit. "Why are you here?" Piccolo asks again. "I'm looking for my son Kakarot." says Gine. "You're Goku's mother?!?" Exclaims Tien, Krillin, and Piccolo. Gine: "I'm Kakarot's mother, yes. Is Goku his nickname or something?" No one speaks for a time. They're dumbfounded. Finally Gine says: "Well anyway... whatever you're cooking down there smells great." This breaks the silence. Piccolo, smiling at how similar Goku and his mother behave, tells Gine that she is welcome to join them. As Gine eats, she is told how she just missed Bardock and Goku. "Oh I only care about Goku. Bardock can do whatever he likes." she says. Less concerned with her spat with Bardock, everyone asks: "Why are you calling him Goku? Aren't you a saiyan?" To which she replies: "Sure, I'm a saiyan and Kakarot is his birth name. But it seems like he's got a lot of friends and a family that know him by that name so it only feels right." She then says with a giggle: "Plus I think it's kind of cute." As she says this, Roshi rubs her shoulders and says: "I know something else that's kind of cute. Heh" Gine smacks Roshi with her tail, sending him smashing through the glass sliding door on the balcony. "Oh no! I'm so sorry about the door!" says Gine. "Don't worry about it, the old pervert has had it coming all day." says Bulma.

    On Frieza's ship: Frieza is sitting on his throne on the bridge of the ship. He sips a glass of red wine as he marvels the sight of planet Vegeta coming into view. "Three minutes until we arrive at the destination, my lord." says the ship's captain. "Once again those monkeys press my every button, stepping on every nerve. To think they would revive their pitiful species along with that ugly rock they reside on. I think I will take another trip to Earth when I finish business here." says Frieza. The rest of the bridge staff including the captain quake with fear. Berryblue enters the bridge and walks to Frieza's side. "Your hovercraft is ready, my lord." she says. Frieza: "Oh there's no need. This time I plan to take a more personal and intimate approach to eliminate this vermin. Take us to the surface."

    40,000 character max on posts. I'll post part two next week or something. I don't know how the spam rules work in this sub. Somebody, maybe a mod shout out when it would be safe to post part two. Or maybe recommend a better medium to post this kind of thing. Anyway, hope you enjoyed part one!

    Could Piccolo, Android 16, 17 and 18 have taken Imperfect Cell if they'd all piled on him together?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2020 08:15 AM PDT

    As opposed to them each trying and failing to stop him one by one, excluding 18 who didn't fight him at all. Given 16 was a fair match for Cell, I feel like if the four of them had all fought him at once they could have won, particularly as Cell wouldn't be willing to destroy 17 or 18. The one stumbling block is the fact that Cell could regenerate and maybe none of them could have produced an attack strong enough to destroy his body beyond repair- although IIRC his regeneration did sap his energy each time like a Namekian's would, so maybe they could have worn him down to the point of defeat. Thoughts?
