Soaring through the skies was Bardock. His scouter was beeping and showing the coordinates from where his call came from. The scouter then began to vibrate. Bardock looked down and spotted someone. Without letting his guard down he descended to get a closer view of the figure. He landed on the floor a few feet from the figure and looked up. He gasped when looking at him. The figure had long black hair, sleeveless and pants-less brown and black battle armor, and lastly a green scouter around his left eye.

"Raditz?" said Bardock as he put his scouter back into his pocket. Why hadn't he sensed him? More importantly why hadn't his scouter identified who he was?

Raditz looked at him. Motionless and still with an emotionless expression

"Hello Father."

"What are you doing here? I was told you were dead!"

"Oh I was. Luckily Towa was able to pull some strings and here I am. I never did wonder about the details. "

Bardock narrowed his eyes. "Raditz are...are you working for Towa?" he asked

Raditz then leaned back against a tree. He then looked at the sky. "Tell me Father. Are you aware Kakarrot is dead?"

Bardock was silent for a bit, then responded "Yes."

Raditz began to chuckle. "THis must be quite hard for you. You losing your favorite child and all."

Bardock frowned. What point was Raditz making? "What are you trying to say?"

Raditz then walked towards Bardock and stopped a few feet away. "Tell me, when you heard that I died did you mourn me just as you mourned Kakarrot?"

"What in the world are you talking about? I recently just heard of Kakarrot's death."

Raditz gritted his teeth in anger. "Towa showed me ! After she saved me she brought me back to the time Planet Vegeta was destroyed. She let me read your thoughts, your feelings before your supposed "death." You believed in Kakarrot! You cared for him! You never showed me that kind of love! You only viewed me as a failure! A weakling!"

Bardock was stunned. When had Raditz been the sentimental type? In fact it was rare for a Saiyan to show any affection at all towards anyone except for special cases such as Bardock himself and his friends but still Bardock's affection was only due to the influence of his own wife Gine.

"Raditz...I did not care for Kakarrot more. When he was born I too thought he was weak. I thought nothing of him. It was only after I saw his future of him defeating Frieza was when I started acknowledging him. After spending time in this era I finally realize that I was wrong. I'm... sorry."

Raditz expression softened for only an instant but then hardened again. "It's too late for that now Father. Now it's time for you to die!"

Raditza then began powering up. The ground began to crack and with a final cry he released a powerful aura. As he did this his hair turned gold and his eyes turned green. He then stopped and began staring Bardock down.

"He's become a super saiyan?" Bardock thought. Bardock quickly turned super saiyan as well.

"I will send you to where Kakarrot is!"cried Raditz. He then flew at Bardock at high then threw a punch in which Bardock grabbed his fist. Bardock then rammed his own fist into Raditz 's stomach causing him to keel over. He then kicked Raditz in the face causing him to skid across the floor.

"Snap out of it Raditz! Towa has poisoned your mind!"

Raditz raised his head and growled. He got back up and raised his hand. He shouted "Saturday Crush!" A pink energy sphere emerged from his hand and threw it at Bardock. Bardock easily deflected it sending it to the sky. Raditz began shooting multiple blasts at Bardock. Multiple explosions occurred as the blasts kept hitting Bardock. The smoke then cleared. Bardock emerged from it unscathed.

"Raditz, I am far more powerful than you. Stand down."

With a cry of anger Raditz flew at Bardock again. He began throwing punches and kicks and Bardock was effortlessly dodging them. He then grabbed Raditz's am and flipped him. He landed flat on his back and Bardock slammed his foot on his chest. Raditz coughed in pain.

"Now are you finished?" Bardok asked impatiently. Raditz tried grabbed his father's leg and tried to ift it off of him but couldn't.

"I hate you!"he cried

Bardock stood there silent looking down at his son. As Raditz glared at him he noticed something peculiar.

"Father where is your tail?"

"It's gone. Now what is Towa planning Raditz?"

Raditz's eyes widened with surprise. He then began to smile then that smile turned to a laugh.

"What's so damn funny?Answer my question! Otherwise I'll have to beat it out of you." Bardock added more pressure to Raditz's chest causing him to cough more.

Raditz smiled again. "Oh Father. You are such a fool. You're going to wish you had your tail now."

Raditz then lifted his hand up and summoned a glowing white ball. Bardock's eyes widened realizing what his son was about to do. Before he could stop him Raditz threw it in the air. He then clenched his fist and Bardock watched as the ball expanded to a large artificial glowing moon.

Bardock looked back down. "Damn it." he muttered as his son cackled while transforming. Bardock created a blade of pure energy to cut Raditz's tail off but Raditz raised his transforming but large arm and punched his father in the face sending him flying. Bardock then back flipped and landed on his feet. He gritted his teeth. Alhe could now was watch as Raditz began growing larger. His eyes turned red and he began growing large golden fur. His teeth turned into fangs and his body expanded vertically immensely until finally his transformation was complete. Raditz was now a golden great ape.

"Now Father, do you believe I should stand down now?"

...

"You almost got the shard Goten!"cried Kagome. Goten floated up towards the rocky mountain. After going up a few more feet Kagome told him to stop. When looking at the rocky wall he couldn't see the Shikon shard. He scratched his head.

"Kagome I don't see anything!" Goten called back.

"Huh. I know I sense a jewel shard up there."

"Come on Kagome. R u getting rusty or what?" asked Inuyasha

"What do you mean by that?" asked Kagome angrily

"I'm just saying you've been off your game lately. This is the second time you've made the same mistake."

"Well excuse me for being a little off. We've been dealing with a lot!"

"Hey I'm just saying!"

Inuyasha and Kagome began bickering as usual while everyone else watched with sweat drops behind their heads.

As they argued Gohan suddenly felt a sensation of large energy. He turned his head. "Guys do you feel that?" The others then turned the same direction as Gohan. They then felt the same sensation and all their eyes widened.

"Whoa! This power is huge!"cried Goten as he descended on the ground

"Whose power is it? I don't recognize it."said Future Trunks. Suddenly everyone felt another power and this one they all knew.

"It's Bardock!"cried Sango

"Grandpa! His energy is getting smaller. He's in trouble!"cried Goten

"We've got to get to help him as fast as possible!"cried Kagome. "But Kilala can't travel as fast as you guys." Motioning to Gohan,Goten,Trunks, and Future Trunks

"Don't worry we can carry all of you!" cried Future Trunks. Future Trunks and Gohan then went onto carry Sango and Kagome on their backs and held on to Inuyasha and Miroku by their arms. Trunks carried Shippo and Goten carried Kilala. They all then sped up towards Bardock's location.
