Bardock And King Vegeta Fusion



A/N: Welcome to my first Dragon Ball fic! I hope you all enjoy it! And for those of you waiting for me to finish up my other stories don't worry. This'll probably be only three or four chapters long. Anyway, remember to fav, follow, and review!

Bardock and Vegeta fuse with the potaras to defeat Mecha Frieza, King Cold and Metal Cooler in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3. All characters have special. King Vegeta (ベジータ王 'Bejīta-ō'), more specifically Vegeta III (ベジータ三世 'Bejīta Sansei') 2, is the king of all Saiyans of Planet Vegeta and the father of Vegeta and Tarble.After his people were annexed by King Cold's Cold Army he had no choice but to pledge allegiance, but still kept power over his people, this continued into the Saiyans time under Frieza's Frieza Force. Bardock will lose to king vegeta, tho i wish he was the main character and not goku, oh well anyways king vegeta would win. Assuming this is Potara, I came up with a logical Fusion Increase which is Person A + Person B x Strongest Form. Assuming both Bardock and King Vegeta are at a Powerlevel of 10k it would now be 20k which we multiply by 10x due to that being Bardock and King Vegeta’s strongest Form. They would now have a Power Level of 200,000. Bageta is the Metamoran Fusion of Bardock and King Vegeta, he's prince Bartek's godfather and Gogeta's father, he holds a rivality with his potara fusion 'brother' - Vegedock. He looks like Gogeta, but has a goatee, a thunder like scar and a bandana Power Edit.

Chapter 1: Three Saiyans from Hell

'I'm not sure of this. It's completely unheard of,' King Yemma told his visitor, the Kai of the Northern Quadrant, who stood atop the giant red ogre's desk.

'I know. I know,' King Kai responded. 'It won't be for long though.'

'Still, those three are in Hell for a reason,' Yemma argued. 'They each played a part in the genocide of multiple species and civilizations!'

'I am fully aware of their crimes. I've seen them myself. It is my job to monitor the Northern Galaxy,' King Kai reminded him.

'Right, my bad,' King Yemma apologised. 'But you do understand my reluctance, do you not?'

'Yes, although I doubt the woman would cause any trouble. The other two, however…'

'I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to cause trouble,' King Yemma finished. 'Especially the older of the two.'

'True, but considering they'll be on the Grand Kai's planet, where the greatest fighters of all four quadrants of the universe as well as the four Kais and the Grand Kai himself, I think it'll be alright.'

'Good point. Although, I am surprised that you would ask this of me though. Aren't you mad at Goku for uh, well…' King Yemma didn't finish his sentence, but it was clear he was referring to the halo over King Kai's head.

King Kai growled quietly. 'Yeah, still mad about that, but I'll be willing to to ignore the fact that he made me the first Kai to ever die,' he stated angrily before calming down, 'when he wins the tournament.'

'Why's that?'

'Me and West Kai made a bet. If one of my fighters wins the tournament, I get his planet to replace the one Goku got blown up. Plus, once Goku wins, all the other Kais will know that the strongest fighter in the universe came from the my quadrant!' he said smugly.

The large ogre king resisted the urge to roll his eyes. While he had the utmost respect for the four Kais that watched over the universe, he found that they often acted childish when together or referring to each other. 'You seem quite certain Goku will win. Many of the fighters have trained there for thousands of years. They have quite the advantage over him in terms of experience. And what if Goku loses, but another one of your fighters wins, like Olibu.'

'True, Olibu is one of the best fighters I've got. But truth be told, I don't think he's reached Goku's level. Not quite yet anyway. Besides, I've got a gut feeling Goku's gonna win. He's pulled of the impossible before. I thought he was dead the moment he challenged Frieza. Imagine my surprise when he not only survived, but actually beat him. At his full power no less.'

'That boy is something else, I'll give him that. Does Goku even know about this?' Yemma asked.

King Kai shook his head. 'Nah, I'll surprise him. Besides, it's not like he needs the extra motivation to win. The prospect of fighting incredibly powerful opponents is all he needs to get his Saiyan blood pumping.'

'Too true,' Yemma agreed. 'Fine, I'll have them brought here.' He picked up the phone sent the orders to his ogres in Hell.

A fair amount of time passed before three Saiyans appeared in front of King Yemma's desk, two males and one female. All of them shared the usual Saiyan traits: black hair and eyes, brown tails, and each had on battle armor, as well as a halo. One of the men had long spiky hair that ended halfway down his calves. His armor with shoulder guards as well as his gloves and boots were brown and black. His tail was wrapped around his waist like a belt.

The woman, who was slightly shorter than the two men, had shaggy hair that reached her shoulders. Her armor was pink highlighted with green. Under the armor was a dark blue bodysuit, though the only visible part of it was covering her legs. Unlike the other guy, she had straps instead of shoulder guards and wore purple armbands instead of gloves. Her boots were white and her tail swung freely.

The last man's armor also had straps. It was dark blue and green, and so were his boots. He had red armguards and legwarmers. His left cheek had an X-shaped scar and his forehead had what looked like a red headband but was actually a white armband that was soaked with the blood of one of his teammates. His unkempt hair greatly resembled the hairstyle of a certain full-blooded Saiyan raised on Earth. He, like the other male, had his tail wrapped around his waist. He was the tallest of the three Saiyans.

'Bardock!' the woman exclaimed in happiness.

'Gine? That you?' the tallest Saiyan, dubbed Bardock, asked in surprise.

'Yes it is!' she responded as she hugged him tightly, tears in her eyes. Bardock reciprocated the hug, having missed his wife.

The third Saiyan looked at the two in shock and confusion. 'Mom? Dad?'

'Raditz?' Bardock asked, also confused, wondering what was going on.

'Raditz!' Gine released Bardock and went to hug her son. He didn't hug her back, but didn't resist either. 'Wow, look how much you've grown!' Raditz did nothing but look at his mother in shock.

Bardock cleared his throats to get his wife and son's attention. 'As nice as this family reunion is…'

'Wait, someone's missing,' Gine interrupted. 'Where's Kakarot?' A scowl crossed Raditz face at the thought of his traitorous little brother.

'He probably still alive, unlike us,' Bardock answered.

Gine looked at him funny 'What? I mean, I know we're dead. I remember the day Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, but Raditz is here and he isn't…' She stopped when she turn to her eldest and saw the halo over his head. She gasped and cover her mouth. 'Raditz, your dead?'

'I, err, rather not talk about,' Raditz answered. Gine hugged him sadly.

Bardock, however, seemed curious. 'I wonder if it was Frieza who killed him. That bastard! He will pay! Kakarot will make sure of it.' Bardock thought as he remembered his vision prior to Planet Vegeta's destruction. 'We still don't know what's going on. We're not in Hell anymore and we've got our bodies back.'

'That's because of me.' The three Saiyans turned to see King Kai approach them. 'I am King Kai of the Northern Quadrant. I've had you removed from Hell and given bodies. Temporarily of course. You're all guilty of genocide.' He turn to Gine. 'Though you left fighting behind, that doesn't change the fact that you've taken innocent lives and done no significant good to make up for it.' Gine looked away in shame. She deeply regretted what she had done in life. All the lives she took. It was part of the reason she retired and took a job in meat distribution on Planet Vegeta. The Kai turned to 'And though you saved the Plantians from Frieza's ancestor Chilled…'

'Wait what?' Both Gine and Raditz shouted, staring at Bardock.

'That doesn't make up for the many species you've ended in service to Frieza.' Bardock scoffed and crossed his arms. He didn't care about the people he's killed, only that he and his entire species was used by Frieza, then destroyed. 'And finally you, Raditz. You're the worst of the three of you.'

'So what? I'm a Saiyan, the greatest warrior race in the Universe!' Raditz proclaimed with pride. 'Everyone I killed died because they were weak. That's the Saiyan way. It's as simple as that.'

'And let's not forget the fact that you kidnapped and threatened to kill your own nephew,' King Kai added.

'What? Nephew? Does that mean Kakarot has a son? I'm a grandmother?' Gine questioned. King Kai nodded and her head felt dizzy from the mixed emotions she was feeling. Her youngest had found love, or so she had chosen to assume, and now had a family of his own. The thought filled her with great joy, but also great sadness, as that meant her youngest was all grown up and she had played no part in his life at all beyond giving birth to him. But she pushed the sadness aside and leaped with joy. 'I'm a grandmother!

Bardock hid his smile as he watched his wife. She was always such a softie. And for reasons he still did not understand, he loved that about her. It was strange. To most Saiyan it was considered an unattractive feature, but not to him. Raditz, however, turned away, embarrassed by his mother's reaction, but thankful she wasn't focusing on the fact that he kidnapped his own nephew.

'Well you can ask all about it when you see your son.'

'Wait, you're taking to see our other son?' Gine asked. 'Does that mean…' she asked hesitantly

'I'm afraid so,' King Kai answered. 'He's dead.'

Gine looked away with tears in her eyes while Bardock stood in thought. 'Did he fail against Frieza? Damn it! If only I had been able to stop him that day.'

Raditz, however, just laughed. 'So his friends weren't able to revive him after all. Serves him right.'

'Raditz!' Bardock yelled at his son while Gine looked at him in shock.

'What? Kakarot deserves it. He forgot all about his Saiyan heritage and left the inhabitants of Earth alive. And when I reminded him of his great legacy and offered him a chance to join the last of his species, he rejected me and his heritage in favor of the Earthlings he was suppose to eliminate. He even had his tail removed and denied his true name in favor of 'Goku', the name some human gave him. And how he died? He died taking me with him for the Earth! He chose them over his own brother!' Raditz ranted in anger, disregarding his previous hesitation to mention the circumstances of his death. He'd never admit it, but it did hurt that his brother chose Earthling over his own family. 'I gave him plenty of chances and he denied every single one! So he deserves to rot in Hell for all I care!'

Bardock frowned upon hearing this. He never imagined his youngest would turn his back on his heritage. 'Looks like I've got a couple of questions for Kakarot that he better answer.'

'Ahem!' King Kai said to get everyone's attention. 'While all of what Raditz said is true, that not why he's here. His friend did revive him using the Earth's dragon balls.'

'The dragon balls?' Gine looked confused.

'I've heard of them. Magic wish orbs capable of granting any wish. But I thought they were a myth and that only the Namekians possessed them,' Bardock asked.

'They're no myth and yes, only a special class of Namekians can make them. And Earth just happened to have one,' King Kai informed them.

'So his friends brought him to life?' Raditz asked the Kai, who nodded. 'Then Nappa must have killed him.'

'Nope,' King Kai said, shaking his head.

Raditz frowned. 'Then Prince Vegeta must have decided to kill Kakarot himself for some reason,' he concluded.

'Wrong again.'

'What? Did those bastards even go to Earth?' Raditz asked in anger.

'Oh they did. And Goku, or Kakarot as you know him, beat them.'

Gine looked surprised but Raditz was downright furious. 'Impossible!' Raditz declared. 'Kakarot's a low-class Saiyan! The only reason he killed me was because I was too careless and he had help from that Namekian! Even then, I dominated most of our fight. His power level wasn't even half mine, and mine is over 1200! Nappa and Vegeta are both elites with power levels much greater than my own! There's no way Kakarot could have gotten that strong in a year!'

'Well he had an excellent teacher, aka me,' King Kai said with pride. 'Anyway, if you want to know what happened, then you can ask him yourself. After the tournament.'

'Tournament?' Gine asked.

'Yes. A martial arts tournament where the greatest heroes now dead can compete to test their strengths. And what makes it more special is the fact that the winner get to train under the Grand Kai, a divine being above even me, and a legendary martial artist.'

Sign me up then,' Bardock said with a smirk. It would be a chance to fight some power opponents and see how strong his son has gotten.

'Me too,' Raditz said. 'I want to see for myself whether what this guy says about Kakarot is true or not.'

'Hold on! Neither of you are entering!' King Kai declared. 'The tournament is for the fighters who have earned the right! Selfless fighters who dedicated their lives to protecting others with their strength, a category neither of you fall under. So no, you get to watch the tournament, but not participate. Object, and you get sent back to Hell early.'

The two male Saiyan grumbled but held their tongue, neither wanting to return to Hell so soon. Gine, however, was beaming at the prospect of seeing her whole family together. 'So when do we go?' she asked the Kai.

'Now, so follow me.'

'So,' Gine looked at Bardock as they followed King Kai, 'what's this about fighting Chilled?' Raditz at them in interest. He had been wondering about that too. He heard of Chilled. One of Frieza's ancestors. Rumor had it he visited Planet Vegeta long before the Saiyans and Tuffles occupied the planet.

'Frieza's attack didn't kill me. Don't ask me how because I have no idea, but instead of killing me, it sent me into the past, back when Planet Vegeta was known as Planet Plant. I met the original inhabitants of the planet, but it wasn't long before Chilled forces tried to conquer the planet. Since they healed my injuries and proved me with sustenance, I chose to defend them. Besides, I figured maybe I'd get a decent workout. His men were too easy to handle, but then Chilled himself appeared. I thought he was Frieza and attacked, only to be easy beaten.' He grimaced at the memory. 'And then he did something, something that mad. Mad at him, and mad at myself for being weak, for not being strong enough to save anyone, including my team and planet! And then it happened.' Bardock stopped, his energy flaring around his body giving him a blue aura. Then his hair stood up and turned golden, his aura too. His eyes were now green, but his tail remained brown. Even though Raditz and Gine couldn't sense power level on their own, they could feel the power Bardock was radiating.

The two Saiyans were surprised by Bardock's transformation. They had never seen anything like it. 'I-is that… Is that the…' Gine tried to ask.

Bardock smirked and nodded. 'That's right. This form is the legendary power of a Super Saiyan!'

'Y-you've become a Super Saiyan? The Saiyan of legend?' Raditz asked, his voice filled with awe and envy.

'That right,' his father answered, powering down to his base form. 'I just wish I had transformed earlier, back when Frieza destroyed our planet. I could have stopped him!'

'Not quite,' King Kai started. 'Even if you had transformed, you still wouldn't have beaten Frieza.'

'What?' the Saiyans exclaimed.

'The Super Saiyan transformation isn't all powerful. True, it makes you much stronger, multiplying your power by 50. But even though you were able to beat Chilled, Frieza is much much stronger. At the strength you possessed that day, you could possibly have beaten Frieza in the form you know, but his kind is capable of transformation and he had three more forms, each much more powerful than the last. All it would take is Frieza's second form to easily wipe you out even as a Super Saiyan.'

The Saiyans, especially Bardock, could not believe what they were hearing. Frieza was already the most powerful being in the universe as they knew him, and he wasn't even in his most powerful form? Bardock's hand cliched. 'Damn it! Does that mean Frieza is stronger than even a Super Saiyan?'

King Kai pondered whether to tell them Frieza was dead now, but decided to leave that explanation to Goku. Besides, they arrived at the plane. It was a small plane that clearly has seen better days. It was patch up in many places. 'What a piece of junk,' Raditz commented, with Bardock and Gine silently agreeing.

'Junk or not, if you want to see Goku, this plane is how you'll get to him.'

'Hmph!' Raditz boarded the plane behind King Kai, not really caring about the reunion with his little brother. Kakarot was dead to him. But it beats going back to Hell.

Before Bardock could board the plane himself, Gine got in front of him. 'What?' he asked his wife.

'You're hiding something. I can tell.'

'I don't know what you're talking about,' he replied as he tried to going around her.

But Gine wouldn't let him and continued to get in his way. 'What happened that you so mad it triggered your super saiyan transformation?'

'I already told you.'

'No, you told me what made you angry, but not what triggered the anger in the first place. And you're gonna tell me,' she said, poking Bardock's chest.

He sighed. Gine was just as stubborn as he was, perhaps even more. She wasn't gonna give. 'Fine. There was this… this kid, okay. This stupid kid that would always come to the cave I was using for shelter, bringing food and water. I'd yell at him to go away but he always came back the next day. I gave up on it and so he ended up staying, watching me train. When Chilled had me at his mercy, that fool ran right at him, yelling at him to stop. Chilled swatted him away like a fly. That what triggered my rage. Because he'd grown on me, and I was powerless to protect him, just I was powerless to protect Tora, Fasha, Borgos, Shugest, not even you!' Bardock shook with anger until Gine put her arms around him, laying her head on his chest. Calming down, Bardock held her too. 'He survived, thankfully. And Chilled died at my hands after I became a Super Saiyan.'

He heard Gine giggle a bit, and sent her a confused look. Gine looked up at him'It's just surprising. The Great Bardock, caring about a kid he didn't even know.'

Bardock could help but chuckle too. 'It's your fault you know. Your such a softie it's rubbing off on me,' he said, with no hint of annoyance in his voice.

'Glad to know I have that effect on you,' Gine said as the two of them kissed.

'Ahem.' They broke the kiss and turned to see King Kai waiting at the plane's entrance. 'Hate to interupt, but we're going to be late.'

Reluctantly releasing each other, they join the Kai and their eldest son on the plane and flew off to the Grand Kai's planet with the hopes of meeting their youngest.

Alpha: Done. My first Dragon Ball fic.

Vegeta: And you choose to focus on that clown's family.

Goku: Hey, don't worry Vegeta. I'm sure he'll do a fic where you get to see your dad again.

Vegeta: Hmph. I don't care about that. Though I'm not exactly against the idea.

Alpha: One day.

Goku: See.

Vegeta: Just don't screw it up when you do! And no touchy-feelyness! My father and I are not like that at all!

Raditz: Neither am I.

Bardock: Nor I.

Alpha: Ok, I get! None of you are emotional! Chapter 2 will come out… at some point.

Vegeta: sarcastically Very specific.

Alpha: Hey, I've got other stories! Long ones that require my attention too!

Vegeta: You mean the ones involving those weak Earthling ninjas? Whatever, just don't forget about us, or I'll show you just how powerful my Galick Gun is.

Bulma: Vegeta! Do you always have to threaten our fanfic authors?

Vegeta: Of course. It the only way they'll do their jobs right.

The Bardock Effect

Bardock And King Vegeta Fusion Vegeta

Chapter One: Delays

Bardock, Saiyan warrior, awoke next to the bodies of his comrades in a daze. The last thing he could remember was Dodoria opening his mouth and firing a massive ki blast at him. Shaking the cobwebs from his mind, Bardock attempted to get his thoughts back into a semblance of order. Things had changed massively in his life since Kanassa, since he got the ability to see into the future. Frieza wanted to kill his people...Frieza! That's what he'd been trying to remember!

'Tora, Fasha, Shugesh,' he said solemnly. 'You won't have died in vain. I'll kill that bastard, Frieza, and get you guys the vengeance you deserve!'

He moved as fast as his battered body would carry him to his pod. His whole body was one giant, throbbing ache. He was covered in dirt and blood and his body was littered with crusted-over cuts. How long was I out? Bardock wondered to himself as he eased into his pod, setting the coordinates for Planet Vegeta. Thankfully, the trip from Planet Meat to his home world would be a short one, as Bardock knew that he didn't have a moment to spare if he wanted to stop his home from being destroyed.

As he neared Planet Vegeta, his anticipation built. He would soon be face-to-face with the tyrant who had turned his people into his lackeys. He would rally King Vegeta and the rest of the Saiyans and, together, they might just stand a chance. That's what he thought...before he started to see the space debris. Bardock's eyes widened in horror as his pod closed in on its destination. I should be seeing Planet Vegeta, by now, he thought, frightened.

'No,' he choked out as his pod stopped where his home had once been. 'I'm too late...I'm too late...I failed.'

A mixture of depression and exhaustion overwhelmed him, and his mind was soon drawn into the inky blackness of sleep. It was several hours before hunger awoke Bardock. He was out of food, hadn't thought to bring any rations on his trip to Planet Meat. Now, it was gone...they were gone. His whole planet, almost every single member of his race, was gone.

'What do I do now?' he asked himself morosely. 'I can't risk trying to access the Planet Trade Organization's databases to find out where my sons are, they'd know it was me and Frieza would probably try to kill me...and my sons.'

Bardock searched his pod's own, personal database of planets and space stations in the current sector, trying hard as he could to find something. He'd heard tell of a space station his people had built a few years ago, trying to establish an off-world colony of some sort. Frieza likely would have had the Saiyans there killed, too, but maybe it was still intact...at any rate, it was as good a place to start as any.

'There it is,' he said, finally finding its location. 'Space Station Vegeta. Arrogant jerk just had to name everything after himself...'

As he neared the station, Bardock's spirits lifted a little. The lights were off, but the station was still there. If his luck held, maybe there would still be some food there...maybe he could even turn the power back on and get a healing pod working. As he thought about it, turning the power completely back on would probably be a bad idea. Frieza might get a signal from there and know someone was squatting on a piece of property he was planning to sell. But, he might be able to get the pantry and recovery areas working without anyone being the wiser, at least.

Sure enough, when Bardock docked and entered the station, there was nobody there to greet him. Frieza probably had his goons throw the bodies in the incinerator and clean the place up, nobody wants to buy a space station they actually had to clean first. As luck would have it, a single terminal on the room's far corner was still active.

'One of the upsides of having a race with a lot of morons,' Bardock remarked at the incredibly simple interface. All he'd had to do was bring up a display of the various areas of the station, and hit the little light bulb icon on the mess hall and recovery areas. Both areas were, mercifully, on the inside of the station, so a casual, passing observer wouldn't know anybody was here. As much as it galled him, Bardock knew he had to be careful. If Dodoria was powerful enough to nearly kill him, then Frieza would likely be able to annihilate him, and he couldn't allow that to happen; there were too few living Saiyans as it was.

After stuffing himself with as much rare meat and cold ale as he could fit in his ravenous stomach, Bardock stalked off to the recovery wing across the way. The healing pods were ready for use, though they were an older model than the ones back home. As he put on the breathing mask and prepared the machine, something about this felt...off, to Bardock. As the gelid fluid rapidly filled the tank, Bardock's eyes widened with shock as he realized that, in his exhausted state, he'd accidentally wandered into a stasis tank! His mind sent into a state of panic, Bardock reached forward to try and work the internal controls, but before he could stop the process, the fluid inside froze in an instant. The display on the inside of the pod read '20 years.'

The next sensation to pass through Bardock's mind was a quick jolt of electricity jarring his body awake. He shivered as the cold air touched his bare skin. He looked down at the display on the inside of the stasis pod and ripped the breathing mask off his face in anger.

'Thirty years?!' he yelled to the empty room. 'I've been on ice for twenty years?!'

He punched the machine that had caused him to lose so much time as hard as he could. Frieza could've tracked down the rest of his race and exterminated them, by now! But, maybe...maybe not. His mind clouded over, and Bardock saw a vision of his son, Raditz...

'Kakarot might still be alive,' Raditz said to the other two figures sitting in front of him. It took Bardock a moment to recognize them: Prince Vegeta and his comrade, Nappa. Apparently, Nappa had lost his hair in the past three decades, not that he looked very good before, either.

'Think he'll join us?' Nappa asked in his normal, gruff voice.

'I think so,' Raditz said thoughtfully. 'Even if he doesn't, all I have to do is beat him into submission. Then, he'll have no choice.'

Bardock and king vegeta fusion release

'Go get him, then,' the Prince said after a few moments. 'Do you remember where he was sent?'

'Yeah,' Raditz replied. 'Some planet called Earth. It'll take me a few years to get there from here.'

'Then, get to it, Raditz,' Vegeta said quickly. 'And he'd better not be a liability, or I'll kill him myself.'

'G-Got it,' Raditz replied, getting up and running into his pod. The last thing Bardock saw before the vision collapsed were the coordinates Raditz put into his pod's navigation controls.

'So,' Bardock said, getting to his feet. 'My sons are still alive. The little Prince is, too. Good.'

Bardock dressed quickly and ate everything he could fit into his stomach. His pod could suspend him for long enough to get to Earth. After shutting the station back down, Bardock input the coordinates he recalled from his vision. Apparently, Raditz was on the opposite side of space from where he was with relation to this 'Earth,' but his navigation system told him that he'd arrive there at roughly the same time. He honestly didn't know what to do when he got there, but he'd figure it out as he went along. As his pod sped off away from the now-vacant space station, Bardock initiated the suspension systems. As the sedatives mixed with the air, Bardock drifted off to sleep, hoping to arrive in time to keep his sons from killing one another.

Another electric jolt awoke Bardock from his slumber. Checking his navigation systems, he was only a few hours from Earth. He could almost make out the trail that Raditz's pod left as it streaked toward the blue planet before him. Once again, Bardock's mind started to cloud over, and he felt the now-familiar sensation of a vision forming.

He saw his two sons face-to-face, poised for battle. Next to Kakarot was a green alien. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but Bardock got the distinct impression that Raditz and Kakarot were fighting. This was later confirmed as they started to trade blows, the green alien joining in the fray shortly after Kakarot. Raditz easily outmatched the two of them, but Kakarot kept fighting hard as the green alien stood off to the side, charging some kind of attack. A few minutes later, Kakarot got Raditz in a full nelson and yelled something inaudible to the green alien. The green alien unleashed his attack and a spinning, purple beam of energy hit Raditz in the chest and, soon, penetrated through both him and Kakarot and, in a moment, both were dead.

'No,' Bardock said, determined. 'I won't let that happen! I'll be damned if I'm losing my sons, too!'

Bardock slammed his fingers on to the navigational controls, setting his pod to the highest possible speed he could get out of it. He might not make at the same time as Raditz, but he wouldn't be more than a few minutes behind him.

On the planet, Goku was preparing to square off against this Raditz guy with Piccolo when he noticed an enormous ki speeding towards the planet. 'Piccolo,' he asked in a hushed voice. 'Do you feel that?'

'I do,' he said in a tense voice. 'He'd better not be on this guy's side, or we're screwed.'

Raditz's scouter pinged as it picked up a large power signature moving rapidly toward their location. It was...it wasn't possible, the power level it was reading was over 10,000! An instant later, something crashed into the ground, sending debris flying everywhere as the three warriors stared at the smoking crater. As the dust settled, a Saiyan space pod could be seen in the middle of the crater. The front of the pod opened and out of it stepped the last person Raditz had expected to see: his father, Bardock.

'F-Father?!' Raditz said, astonished. 'I thought you'd died when Planet Vegeta was hit by that asteroid?'

'So,' Bardock replied, walking over toward the battlefield. 'That's the story Frieza concocted to cover for his destroying our planet and killing our people? That's kind of lame, if you ask me. He could've at least blamed it on his brother or something.'

'Why do you look like me?' Goku asked in an amazed tone.

'Why do you think?' Bardock said, arching an eyebrow. 'I'm surprised you don't recognize your own father, Kakarot.'

'My...father?' Goku said, coming up short.

'Raditz,' Bardock said in a serious tone. 'Why are you and Kakarot fighting?'

Bardock And King Vegeta Fusion 2

'Kakarot hit his head!' Raditz yelled. 'Until today, he didn't even know he was a Saiyan! He failed in his mission to destroy the life on this planet, and is now refusing to come with me!'

Bardock walked calmly up to Raditz and smacked his son hard on the back of his head. 'Of course he's not going to join you, dumbass!' Bardock yelled. 'To him, you're just another stranger trying to push him around! You'd be pissed off, too!'

'Father-!'

'Don't 'father' me!' Bardock continued. 'Is Frieza still alive?'

'Of course!' Raditz said, exasperated. 'Everyone knows that!'

Bardock smacked his son upside the head once more for good measure. 'I obviously didn't, you idiot,' he said. 'More to the point, why is he still alive?'

'What?'

'WHY IS FRIEZA STILL ALIVE?' Bardock yelled. 'You and your pals, the little Prince and Nappa, didn't even bother to fight him, did you? Just rolled over for the bastard like good little dogs!'

'Piccolo,' Goku whispered to the fighter standing next to him. 'Do you have any idea what they're talking about?'

'Family matters,' Piccolo whispered flippantly.

'I,' Bardock said, turning toward his youngest son. 'Am talking about the tyrant who killed our race. Its our job to kill him, and yet, three of the strongest Saiyans left alive are little more than his yes men!'

'We didn't know he-' Raditz began before his father cut him off again.

'You're still a Saiyan, damn it!' Bardock demanded. 'Where the hell is your pride? At least Kakarot has an excuse! What's yours?'

'I...' Raditz began, ashamed. 'I don't have one, father. Except that Frieza is stronger than all of us put together.'

'Well,' Bardock replied, somewhat less angry than before. 'At least you're right on that one.'

'Sounds like little Raditz is getting a scolding,' Bardock heard from his eldest son's scouter.

'Is that the Prince?' Bardock asked Raditz, to which his son replied with a nod. 'What's his frequency?'

'7-3-6-8-0, father,' Raditz said simply.

Bardock tuned his scouter to that frequency. 'Prince Vegeta?' he asked in a serious voice.

'Who else?' the Prince replied.

'Are you going to help me put an end to Frieza?'

'When I'm good and ready,' Vegeta replied flippantly.

'That means 'no,' Bardock said in an angry tone. 'Do any of you so-called warriors have the balls to fight against that bastard?'

'How dare you-!'

'Shut up!' Bardock yelled. 'You pathetic, lily-livered excuse for a Saiyan! You worthless disgrace! Your cowardice dishonours the memory of our people!'

'I will stand for this no longer!' Prince Vegeta yelled back. 'I'm coming to that little backwater toilet to teach you and your low-class scum sons a lesson in respect!'

'Bring it on,' Bardock said, taking his scouter off. 'You worthless, little shit,' he finished, crushing his scouter.

'Father,' Raditz began, in awe of what he'd just heard. 'You just started a feud with Prince Vegeta!'

Bardock wasted no time, and shot a ki blast at Raditz's scouter, destroying it. 'I'm well aware of that,' he said. 'Are you going to cause me any problems, Raditz?'

'Of course not!' Raditz said after a moment. 'But...he's stronger than all of us! His power level is 18,000!'

'So,' Bardock replied, thinking on the battle ahead. 'How far away is he?'

'Last I checked, he was on a planet about a year's travel from here,' Raditz said, scratching his chin.

'Right, then,' Bardock said, turning toward his youngest son. 'Kakarot, are you willing to fight the Prince?'

'If he threatens Earth,' Goku said firmly. 'Then, he's my enemy. Piccolo, what about you?'

'Can't very well rule over a heap of rubble,' Piccolo said plainly. 'Besides, it might be interesting. I'm in.'

'Right, then,' Bardock said, turning toward Raditz's pod. 'Last I saw, there was a small power in your pod, Raditz. Who is it?'

'Its my son!' Goku said angrily. 'He tried to use him to get me to join him!'

'No fighting!' Bardock said firmly. 'We have other things to focus on, right now. Raditz, let the boy go.'

'Yes, father,' Raditz said. Walking over to his pod, he hit the release just above the hatch, allowing it to open. 'You're free to go,' he told the cowering boy inside.

Gohan ran toward his father, and looked at the new man that was standing with them...if it weren't for the armour and scars, Gohan might have mistaken him for his dad! 'Daddy,' Gohan asked warily. 'Who's that man that looks like you?'

'Huh? Oh!' Goku said, a little surprised. 'He's your grandfather, apparently. Gohan, meet...uhhh...'

'Bardock,' he said, looking down at the cowering boy hiding behind his father. 'Kakarot, I take it you mated with one of the females of this planet, is that correct?'

'Umm,' Goku began, thinking about what Bardock meant by that. 'Oh! Yeah! My wife's name is Chi Chi!'

'So, your son's a half-breed, then,' Bardock said, scratching his chin. 'I don't think I've heard of a Saiyan being able to mate successfully with another species, before. No matter, you think he might be a strong fighter?'

'I think he might, yeah,' Goku said, patting his son on the head. 'Chi Chi doesn't want him growing up like that, though.'

'Huh,' Bardock replied...Earth women were apparently quite differently conditioned compared to Saiyan women. 'Say, why weren't you wearing a scouter, Kakarot?'

'That thing you had on your head?' Goku asked.

'Yes,' Bardock replied evenly. 'It lets us detect and track ki sources, as well as communicate. That's why I destroyed ours, so the little Prince couldn't listen in on our conversations.'

'I don't need it,' Goku replied simply.

'Why?' Bardock said, confused.

'I can sense ki on my own,' Goku said.

'That's possible?' Raditz asked, astonished.

Goku And Bardock Fusion

'It would seem so,' Bardock responded, deep in thought. 'If you could teach Raditz and I how to do it, that would give us an advantage that Vegeta and Nappa lack.'

'Wait a minute!' Goku said warily. 'How can I be sure you guys won't just turn on me when this is all done?'

'Because,' Bardock said, sighing. 'When we're done beating the Prince and his lapdog bloody, we're going to train, then give Frieza a little visit whereupon we'll proceed with giving his head some much-needed ventilation. Besides, you're my son, and Raditz knows that, if he causes any trouble, I'll smack him senseless.'

'That won't be necessary, father,' Raditz said calmly. 'I've been putting up with their insults for years, and now I might have a chance to make them eat every word of it, and Frieza is way overdue for a savage beating, as badly as he's been treating us.'

'Good,' Bardock said, finally feeling a little pride in his eldest son. 'Kakarot, does this planet have any other strong fighters? We might not need them against Vegeta, but they'd be useful against Frieza.'

'I know a few, yeah,' Goku said, relaxing some. 'If they know what's going down, I know they'll help us.'

'Right,' Bardock said finally. 'Then, we have a plan. Kakarot, you, me, Raditz, and the green guy will train since we're the strongest ones here. The others can train somewhere else so they don't get in our way. Together, we might just have a chance at this.'

'I think Kami would be glad to train Krillin and the others,' Goku said happily. 'I've already trained with him and Mr. Popo, but I bet they'd get a whole lot stronger like I did!'

'You,' Piccolo said, annoyed. 'Are insane if you think I'm training with you.'

'Fine, then,' Bardock said easily. 'Go and train on your own, then, if you must. Just don't slow us down when the fighting starts.'

'I won't,' Piccolo said before taking off, speeding toward an unknown location.

'Alright, Kakarot,' Bardock said, turning back to his youngest son. 'How does this ki sensing thing work?'

Author's Notes

Bardock And King Vegeta Fusion Ultimate

I had this one come to me in the shower. I know the 'missing 20 years thing' might be a bit lame, and...honestly, yeah, it kinda is, but the idea of Bardock smacking some sense into his sons was just too good to pass up. Vegeta is right pissed, I don't mind telling ya. Bardock doesn't take anybody's shit, royal or not. He also isn't stupid, he knows that the Prince is stronger than he is, right now, so he's going to stack every possible card in his deck against Vegeta and, later, Frieza.

For those wondering how this will affect The Prince Ascendant, I can assure you that this story's effect on that one will be minimal. At worst, I'll be alternating between this one and TPA in terms of updates. However, it doesn't mean I'll be stopping the former, I'm enjoying writing my Vegeta fic far too much to let it die. That's it for now, so I'll see you guys next time for Chapter Two of The Bardock Effect: Preparations! Take care!

King Vegeta Power Level

[ETA]

Wow! Good reviews already! I'm honoured that you guys like this, I really am! Also, you guys are right: Goku was 23 when he fought Raditz. I entered the years wrong in my calculator, lol. Remember to double-check your numbers, kids! Anywho, thanks for spotting that!
