"You know guys, I still can't believe this guy is Goku's father" Spoke Bulma while she observed the two saiyans from inside the jet. It was unreal to her that Goku was an alien
"Yea, I know what you mean" Yamcha was thinking the same as his girlfriend. It was one thing to find out that Goku has a father as to that he's an alien
"I'm glad for the boy, he deserved to reunite with his father" The old Master Roshi smiled as he watched Goku telling something to Bardock with a big grin on his face
"They look almost the same, except that Bardock has a scar on his face and that he's much more serious that Goku" Added Krillin who like the others was still trying to get used to the fact that Goku's father is here, and also tried to get used to the scary look the older saiyan had
"Aha, but I wonder what is that device he's wearing?" Thought the blue haired genius "Well, I can always ask him later" Murmured Bulma as she leaned on the seat and spoke to Yamcha who was piloting the jet
While the others had their own conversation inside the jet, Bardock and Goku had one of their own. Goku told him everything, how grandpa Gohan found him in the woods and took care of him, how he meet Bulma, Master Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha and many others, and how he almost won the tournament. Bardock was pleased with his son progression, a prideful smile appeared on his face when Goku told him that he beat an entire army, but the next thing surprised the saiyan warrior
"There is a dragon who can grant any wish you ask of him?" Asked Bardock who tried to process what Goku just told him. If what his son just told him was true, which he didn't try to deny then, then maybe he could...
"Yep and since I don't have anything to wish for, I will wish my friend dad back to life" Said Goku who had a smile on his face. He couldn't wait to find the last dragon ball and wish Upa's father back to life. Upon hearing what his son wish was, Bardock decided to abandon his thoughts of the wish he would make and only focused on Goku
"That's a... great thing to do Kakarot" Spoke Bardock quietly which only made Goku, even more, happier while Bardock watched him. It was clear that his son was not like most of the saiyans, but maybe that wasn't so bad
"Hmm, do you have to call me like that?" Asked Goku who still wasn't used to that name
"Yes, because that is your real name son. Your mother gave it to you when you were born and I will always call you like that. Whatever your friends call you it doesn't matter to me" He may be thankful to the man who took care of his son, but he would never call his son by his earth name
"That's ok" Goku didn't mind that at all, it's just that he needed some time to get used to it. The young saiyan boy glanced back at his father and asked: "What was mom alike?" The moment those words came out from his mouth they hit Bardock very hard. His little smile from before disappeared, instead, his expression darkened while he clenched his fist so hard that few sparks of energy appeared which didn't go unnoticed by Goku who wondered what was wrong. Goku stopped staring at his father fist when he saw the sparks disappear and heard him talk
"We will talk... about your mother later. There is a storm coming and I think your friends are little afraid in that jet" Stated Bardock who didn't want to talk about the past, not now at least. Goku was a bit bummed, but even he could figure out that something happened which his father didn't want to talk about. He shifted his eyes forward and saw a few tornadoes and thunderbolts. The young saiyan was sure that all of his friends in the jet were panicking, especially Bulma
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YAMCHA!? GET US OUT OF HERE!" Screamed Bulma who in fear tightly embraced Roshi who didn't mind that at all. The old man smirked as he tried to grab something, but only to fail when the jet turned around and caused Roshi to fall from his seat and hit his head since he didn't use the seat belts
"The wind is too strong. I can't control it!" Yelled Yamcha who had trouble with piloting the jet. He nervously sweated when he saw that they were flying right in the storms path
"Aaah, the jet is going dow! WE ARE DEAD FOR SURE!" Cried Krillin who almost wet his pants. They were sure that they are going to crash and die, but only after few seconds, they noticed that they were still in the air and that Goku was laughing at them. When Bulma saw how Goku was laughing at them she was angry. She opened the window and started to yell at Goku
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT, YOU IDIOT! I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD NOW!"
"But you didn't because my dad saved you" He spoke with a smile on his face and with his eyes closed as he pointed at Bardock who was under the jet. Bulma mumbled something still angry at Goku for laughing at them, but then she looked down and saw that Bardock was indeed holding the jet
"Thank you Bardock, you saved us"
"It's nothing, now sit in there and hang on to something because we are going to move fast" Warned the scar-faced saiyan after which he glanced at Goku "Oh son, do you think your little cloud can keep up with me?" Bardock had a smirk on his face as he gave the little challenge to Goku
"You bet" Goku nodded and without any second thought accepted the challenge "Faster Nimbus!" He yelled to the cloud which immediately speed up and left Bardock behind with the jet on his back
"Not bad for a cloud I guess, now for me to speed up" Bardock powered up to the point when his blue aura appeared around him. He caught up with Goku in only five seconds and passed him. Goku was once again surprised by his father abilities, which made him happy that he discovered that he has a father like that. In no time, Bardock landed with the jet and carefully placed it on the ground, right in front of Baba's place. After he put dow the jet, the saiyan went to explore the area and find out where this Baba is. Meanwhile, everybody walked out from the jet when Goku arrived
"Unbelievable, that was so fast right Master?" Said Krillin who never imagined that a living person could be faster than a flying jet
"Indeed my boy, this man is in a league of his own" The old master Roshi couldn't agree more with what his little pupil said. He had heard of flying abilities before, but this, this was something else. This caused Roshi to wonder two things; how strong the saiyan really was and how powerful Goku could really become. Thinking that made him sweat a little bit, but he snapped out of that when he heard Krillin talking to him
"You think we can be anywhere near as strong like him one day, master?" Asked Krillin once again to his master. He really wanted to grow strong like Bardock was, but he had some doubts regarding that
"Who knows, maybe you could if you don't slack in your training, boy!" All of them turned around when they heard the voice which belonged to the saiyan
"So, did you find that Baba character in there?" Bulma asked as the saiyan walked towards them. The saiyan denied as he shook his head and explained
"No, but I found some pink ghost or something like that. It told me to wait here" As soon he finished explaining the same pink ghost appeared behind him
"Hello everyone, you can now come inside and see Baba. Come on" The group went inside and walked through a tunnel until they find themselves in some kind of living room. They stood there for a minute until an old woman appeared riding on a crystal ball
"So you are Baba?" The blue haired Bulma asked the question even tho it was quite obvious that it was here, but she just wanted to be sure
"Yes I'm, what do you want now?" The elderly woman responded and asked them a question with a hint of annoyance in her voice
"We can't find something and we thought that you can help us find it" Explained Yamcha who was standing in front of the group while the others were behind the young teen
"Oo you come in the right place, but do you have money?" The woman laughed which didn't sound very pleasant to some people from the group
"How much would it cost us?" This time, Krillin asked instead of Yamcha and Bulma. The old woman on the crystal ball smirked which Bardock found suspicious
"200,000,000 zeni, young boy"
"WHAT?" Yelled Yamcha in shock while Krillin just stared at her with her eyes wide open.
"What's wrong Yamcha, is that a lot?" Asked Goku who didn't have a clue how money works nor did he cared that much about that. But as he saw the shocked faces of his two friends he wondered if that was really a lot
"Yes, sorry but we don't have that much" Replied Yamcha who still tried to get past the unreal prize when he looked at the old master "Hey Roshi, how do you pay her? Do you have that kind of money?"
"What? Roshi is here!?" Exclaimed Baba as she took a better look at the group and noticed the old man "Well, hello little brother" she said as she wasn't that happy to see him here
"BROTHER!" The whole group yelled except Bardock who was behind all of them and leaned on the wall. Unlike the other he didn't bother nor did he care about what was going on
"Hi sis, so could you help us here, ha? For your little brother" Smiled Roshi to Baba, hoping that his older sister would help him, but how wrong was he
"Pfft, you still own me some money from the last time. You also said that you would help me move some stuff to my new house and you did nothing! So, this time, no help for you!" She angrily yelled at Roshi who backed away from his sister and tried to apologize
"Still mad about that, well can we do something else?"
"Hmm... Yes, you can. Your five warriors against my five, is that alright with you?" Baba calmed down as she proposed that to her brother who noticed the smirk on her face which made him uneasy. He knew his sister was up to something. Before he could reply to her, he was interrupted by the voice from the back
"It's a deal!" Spoke Bardock behind the group as he continued leaning on the wall "Let's go, I wanna see those fighters of yours" The saiyan gazed at Baba with a smirk on his face which caused the old woman to carefully observe the man
"Hmm... alright, follow me!" Said Baba who turned around and floated through the tunnel while everybody walked behind her. Few steps later, they were outside the tunnel and in front of them was a small ring. Baba went to the other side of the ring while the other's remained on their side
"I hope that your five fighters are ready, Roshi" Baba began to laugh while Roshi just sighed and turned to the others so they could plan something
"Ahm guys, I m not a fighter so I'm not gonna fight, ok?" The little levitating cat spoke on which the others nodded
"It's ok Puar, don't worry about that. The four of us will be fighting" Yamcha looked at Krillin and Goku who smiled as they confirmed. He turned toward the saiyan which Yamcha presumed would join the fight "Bardock you're in, right?" The teen received a simple nod from Bardock which was more than enough
"Ok, Baba the four of us are gonna fight your five warriors!" Yelled Yamcha as he waved with his right hand
"As you wish young man, NUMBER ONE COME HERE!" Yelled Baba for her first fighter. Everybody were silent as they waited for the first fighter to appear, when to their surprises they saw a bat flying towards the ring. Before the bat landed he transformed into a person with big fangs and light blue skin
"This is the first fighter? Hah no problem, I m going first guys" Krillin felt very confident in his strength that he decided to fight first
"You can be the first kid, but the next fight is mine" Declared Bardock who wanted to see what humans could do in battle. He cast a look at the group who didn't mind let Bardock fight the next fighter. Meanwhile, Krillin stepped in the ring ready to fight his opponent
"Let the fight begin!" Yelled Baba as she marked the beginning of the first match
Krillin moved into his fighting pose, ready to attack his opponent at any moment while the light blue skinned fighter just stood in his place and laughed at Krillin which made him angry. Krillin couldn't watch how his opponent was making fun of him and attacked him. The fighter with no problem avoided Krillin's punch and jumped in the sky after which he transformed into a bat
"Hey come down here and fight like a man!" Yelled Krillin angrily which made him unfocused and that was something that the bat was looking for. The bat began with his attack on Krillin, but Krillin managed to dodge the attacks until he lost his balance. The bat saw it and attacked Krillin once again, but before he approached Krillin he transformed back to a person and bite Krillin's head. Krillin yelled in pain, but then he quickly tried to get off the fighter from his head which didn't go as he planned. Krillin quickly began to feel dizzy and weak, little did he know that Baba's fighter was sucking his blood. Few minutes later the fighter jumped off from Krillin with his mouth full of blood
"Www.. w-what did you do to m-me? I-I feel dizzy?" Krillin barely managed to say something when he fell on the ground and the fight was over for Krillin
Yamcha and Goku as soon Baba declared that the fight is over, jumped on the ring and ran to their friend. Yamcha carefully tried to help Krillin but he didn't know what to do
"What will we do with him?" Asked Goku who was worried for his friend. Yamcha didn't know how to answer when they heard the old woman right above them
"Don't worry kid, he only lost some of his blood. My assistant will help him" Assured Baba as she glanced at the pink ghost which just arrived "Ghost, give him some blood" Said Baba to the pink ghost who was standing next to her and immediately did what it was told
"Who is the fighter that will face the Vampire?" Asked Baba as she turned toward the group and observed who could be the next one, when the next fighter just walked in the ring
"I'm the next" Bardock stood there with his face completely serious while he had his arms crossed. Baba observed him for a while, something about that man made her quite uneasy
Alright, begin the fight!" As soon the Vampire heard that he jumped into the sky and transformed into a bat. He circled few times around and attacked Bardock. As soon the bat was close, the saiyan moved so fast which looked like he disappeared. The bat missed its target, he didn't know where the saiyan was. Bardock just reappeared above the bat and stepped on him. The bat was under Bardock's foot and in pain as the saiyan put more pressure which caused the bat to transformed back to his man form. The only thing he could do is give up and he did. Bardock heard that and moved his foot from the Vampire after which he walked to the other side of the ring
"Great job dad!" Yelled Goku with a big smile on his face. Bardock upon hearing that couldn't but allow the smile to form on his face. He turned back to Baba with his face again serious
"Where is the next fighter? I don't want to spend my whole day here"
"Oh, he's already here, in the ring. Ho ho ho" Laughed Baba which started to irritate the saiyan, but he focused on the words that she said
"Hmm... so if he is here and I can't see him, that only means that he is invisible. Hah, that won't be a problem since I can sense him" Though Bardock who just smirked. These simple tricks won't work on a warrior such as himself
"Hey Bulma, what Baba meant by that?" Asked Goku who didn't understand what Baba meant with what she said
"Well, I don't know. Hmm... maybe that the fighter is invisible" Responded the blue haired genius, but only to receive another question from Goku
"Aha... What is invisible?"
"Goku, that means you can't see him. You really should learn some things" Said Bulma back to her little friend who only smiled and thanked her for explaining. No matter how many times Goku's stupidities made her mad, she couldn't but forget them when she saw him smiling like that
"This should be interesting, I wonder how will he fight a man he can't see" Wondered Roshi as his eyes never moved away from Bardock
"You really think your invisible fighter can beat me!? Sorry, but I don't think so" Bardock declared with a smirk on his face as he jumped from his spot and punched the air. Suddenly all of them heard a loud yell from the invisible man. Bardock didn't want to drag this any longer and with one kick sent the invisible man out of the ring. Everybody turned their eyes to the water when they heard a loud splash. They were surprised how easily Bardock once again beat his opponent who this time was invisible
"Your fighter's are nothing, Baba. I thought your fighters would, at least, be worth dirtying my hands. Guess I was wrong" He turned around and faced his group "I will not fight anymore. You two can fight to the end" Bardock passed by them quite disappointed with the fighters
"Hmm ok. Goku, can I fight in the next match? You can have the last fighter" Asked Yamcha who was really looking for a challenge. He really wanted to test his skills and grow stronger
"I'm fine with that, you go Yamcha, but be careful" Goku didn't mind waiting. Yamcha nodded and was about to walk in the ring, but Baba stopped him
"Stop young man, we are fighting somewhere else"
"Oh, and where are we gonna to fight?" Asked Yamcha who was very confident and a bit cocky
"In the Devil Toilet" Baba smirked as she revealed the name of the place where Yamcha was going to fight his next opponent. She was sure that the young man will regret being so cocky
"Devil Toilet or whatever you call it let's go" The teen smirked back at Baba. He didn't care in which place he would fight, he was confident in his strength and abilities
"Follow me, all of you. Come!" Yelled Baba so everybody could hear her. Baba and Yamcha walked in front while the rest of the group was behind them. They walked inside some weird building and soon started to walk up, to the next level of the building. Baba opened the hidden doors on the wall and told Yamcha to go inside. The ex-bandit did what he was told while the others kept following Baba
"Hey dad, I was wondering how could you beat that invisible guy?" Asked Goku who was very curious to know how was his father able to beat someone he couldn't see
"Easy son, it didn't matter if I couldn't see him, I still could sense his presence" Explained Bardock as they walked upstairs "And that's another thing you need to learn along with another stuff only saiyans can do"
"I can't wait to start training with you dad" The young Goku smiled to his father barely able to contain his excitement. Bardock again smiled at his son cheerful ways which started to remember him of someone from the past
"Urghh, enough of this chit-chat we are here" Scowled Baba as they walked on the balcony. Almost all of them were shocked when they saw the fighting stage
"Eauu, now I know why the name is Devil's Toilet" Said Bulma as she put her hands covering her nose because of the terrible smell
"This is a dangerous place, if you fall down you will be gone for good" Spoke Roshi who was starting to get worried. A drop of sweat fell across his cheek as he feared for Yamcha
"Hey, there is Yamcha" Yelled Puar happily once he saw his best friend safely make its way to the stage. Yamcha was standing on one of the devil's tongues and waited for his opponent
"I hope you are not afraid young one" Said Baba as she tried to contain her laugh
"I'm not afraid of anything, bring me the next fighter now!" Yelled Yamcha as he clenched his right fist which he raised above his head
"As you wish... ARISE MUMMY!"
"W-What? DON'T TELL ME SHE CALLED THAT THING!" Shouted Roshi who grabbed the edge of the balcony. It seemed like his worst fears were coming true
