Hey everyone, thanks for the positive feedback on my 2nd chapter and for waiting patiently for this one, I've had all lot of schoolwork for this past week, and I couldn't work on this at ALL, sorry about that. Well here it is, Chapter 3.

Chapter 3—Old scars, New wounds part 2

The Gems were blown back and landed on their backs.

"So, it seems the saiyan is not finished yet." Garnet answered as she got up.

"They were always a stubborn race." Pearl added.

"QUIET!" Bardock said as he appeared charging at great speed.

He slammed Garnet right at her torso which sent her flying, then he kicked to his left and punched to his right, sending Amethyst and Pearl flying in different directions.

After, he flew in the direction Garnet was flying.

Garnet planted her feet to stop the motion, and was feeling the pain from the spot where the saiyan punched her.

As she regained her footing, she paid her attention upward, and saw Bardock charging at her, then she went into a fighting stance.

When he was within range, Garnet made a right hook, but Bardock suddenly vanished, Garnet was confused, but Bardock just as sudden, reappeared behind her and by the time Garnet decided to look behind her, Bardock had already kicked her back, which made her fall over.

'That speed, all of the sudden, it increased.' Garnet thought.

Bardock grabbed her foot and threw Garnet through a tree.

"Come on, did I knock all the fight out of you alread—" Bardock was saying before he was interrupted by a blast attack, in the shape of an arrow.

Bardock was knocked down, trying to regain his composure, when he did he saw his shooter. A giant woman with four arms, and braided white hair, holding a bow.

"I'm guessing you're the fusion of the Amethyst and the Pearl." Bardock asked.

"The name's Opal." The lady said as she fired another energy arrow at Bardock, and that shot blew him several feet back.

As Bardock got up, he noticed blood at the left of his torso where the arrow hit, he was bleeding.

"Damn you." Bardock said as he got up.

Opal smiled and prepared to fire again.

But Bardock fired back and their attacks collided and both energies exploded.

After, there was only a cloud of dust, but this time, Bardock was the one charging.

He landed a full force punch in the face and blew Opal back several feet, but didn't fall over, as she was dragging herself to stop, by her feet.

But Bardock was still charging and was landing consecutive blows all around her front.

Opal tried to fight back, but she was no match for Bardock's speed, as he kept dodging her blows.

Bardock kicked her in the gut, and it sent her flying till she hit a rock, leaving cracks.

As Bardock charged at her again, Opal fired again, but this arrow, separated into dozens of arrows, all aimed at Bardock.

Bardock stopped, and let out a shout, using the ki within him, and made it explode, destroying the energy arrows.

Opal was shocked at the display of power. But this fight was far from over.

Bardock was charging at her again at great speed, too fast for Opal, Bardock tackled her and pushed her through the rock, and all the way near a car wash.

When Bardock stopped pushing and let go, as Opal fell, the momentum made her flip and land on her front, now she was unconscious.

"Heh, this was the best you could do?" Bardock asked. "The red fusion putted up more of a fight."

Then he heard a familiar voice, "Really? I'm flattered."

Bardock turned to look behind him but suddenly, a huge gauntlet punched him in the face from above.

But Bardock didn't fall, only the ground beneath his feet cracked. He was mad now.

He tried to punch again, but the gauntlet caught his fist.

"So, there's still some fight left in you?" Bardock asked.

"Don't underestimate the Gem race." Garnet answered.

Then she used her fist that was free, to punch him in the gut, making him spit out blood.

Bardock grasped his gut and knelt down, but Garnet was still holding the fist she caught.

Garnet tried to punch him again, but this time, Bardock caught her free fist.

The angry saiyan got up and pushed back, but Garnet was doing the same, they each let go for a split second, then they grasped each other's hands, they were having a wager of strength.

As one of them tried to overpower the other, their feet dug into the ground.

They were staring straight into each other's eyes, though Bardock couldn't see through the Gem's shades, he could feel her determination and anger, as Garnet could feel AND see his.

Neither one of them were giving in, but Bardock felt a sharp pain in his back, which weakened his grip and footing.

Opal was standing, and she just fired an energy arrow at Bardock.

"You Gems attack an enemy at bay, dirty yet effective." Bardock said, "But… if you think… that will bring me down… then you have another thing coming!" Bardock began charging up, and regain his footing, and beginning to push Garnet back.

This display of power shocked them both, Garnet tried to push back, but couldn't match up to the saiyan's strength.

Opal fired another arrow, but it exploded before impact, Bardock was using his aura to shield himself from the energy arrows.

"No! More! Tricks!" Bardock yelled before pulling Garnet over, then headbutting her.

Garnet was disoriented, Bardock quickly turned and fired an energy blast at Opal, blasting her to crash to the car wash building.

Bardock turned back to Garnet who was about to hit him again, but Bardock quickly caught her fist, then uppercutted her, sending her to fly above.

Then Bardock began to attack her from all sides.

'Everytime we have the Saiyan in a corner, he gets back up stronger, we need to stop holding back this time, we can't take any chances.' Garnet thought.

Bardock was still attacking her, when they were high enough, Bardock grasped both his hands together, "This is the end!" And slammed Garnet down.

Opal was still knocked down, but when she picked up her head, "Where did that damn ape go?!" She said, but before she could think or say anything else, something was slammed on top of her, which left a crater and made her defuse.

It was just Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl now, they weren't even on their feet.

"Okay, any other bright ideas?" Amethyst said, sounding hurt.

"We all have to fuse together." Garnet said.

This shocked her two teammates.

"Everytime we have him cornered he gets stronger than before, we need to put all cards on the table." Garnet explained.

Pearl and Amethyst understood after, they were ready.

Bardock descended to the ground near the crater where the red fusion landed.

He was panting from exhaustion as he used a lot of his power to take on both fusions.

"Well… this has been fun, but it's time to end this." Bardock said, but then he saw a bright light forming in the crater, and it was… growing.

He just stood as it grew, with a shocked look on his face.

When it finished, the light diminished, it began taking form, a large woman, pink/purple skin (whatever color you call it) black shades over her eyes, long turquoise hair, 6 arms, in a black, white and turquoise suit.

"For once saiyan, they all agree." The large woman said, before slamming her fists at him.

Bardock barely got out of the way, still shocked looking at the fusion, but he wasn't going to back down, so he charged at the giant fusion, only to be swatted back by on of the giant's hands, back to the forest.

Bardock landed on his back. "Ow"

When he opened his eyes he saw a great shadow blocking the sun growing, then when he realized what it was, he jumped out of the way.

When the dust settled, the woman appeared again with a smile on her face. "Name's Alexandrite by the way."

Bardock tried to attack her again but the giant fusion would just slam him, punch him, or swat him away.

Bardock was angry, he fired his most powerful ki blast, while Alexandrite fired an arrow, the two attacks collided, and made an explosion of both energies.

'I used up most of my energy in that attack! Now what am I gonna do?!' Bardock thought to himself, then he looked at his tail.

Now, he knows how he can level the playing field.

'It's risky, but what the hell? It's not like I have anything lose anymore.' Bardock thought.

Before Bardock could think of anything else, he was slammed down by a giant hammer.

When Alexandrite dissipated her weapon, she looked at the crater she made.

"Why were you just floating up there? Did you finally choose to surrender?" The fusion asked.

Bardock only chuckled.

Alexandrite was confused and shocked.

"What's so funny?! Did I knock some of your screws loose?!" She asked.

"No, you're just so sure you won, that I'm thinking about what your face will look like when you're not." Bardock said still chuckling.

"Why you! I'm gonna wipe the floor with you!" The fusion shouted, then she reveal her second, more monstrous mouth, then it breathed fire at Bardock.

When it stopped, and she calmed down, she looked at what she did.

"Whoa, I hope we don't have to tell Steven about this." Alexandrite said to herself.

Then she saw a small light form in the ashes, then it launched into the blue sky.

The small energy ball grew bigger, Alexandrite was trying to figure out what the Saiyan was up to, but when it grew bigger, she thought it looked similar, like an artificial moon…

… A full moon.

When Alexandrite realized his plan, her face was shocked in horror, she turned back to the saiyan and punched down on him.

But it felt as if something caught her fist, something did.

A giant figure emerged above the smoke, it was the Saiyan, growing hair all over his body, his eyes were red and he was growing.

"What's wrong gem? You said you were gonna wipe the floor with me." Bardock said in his complete transformation.

Then he struck Alexandrite right in the face knocking her over.

When she got up, she looked at his transformation.

He looked like a giant gorilla, a little bigger than them, with a tail and armor.

"I trust you know what this form is, so that you can know how much the tables have turned." He said.

Alexandrite got Pearl's spear and Garnet's gauntlets, and mashed them together to make a war hammer.

She let out a battlecry and swung it at the great ape, but the ape caught it.

"That's all you've got?" The ape asked before swinging it and her with it, when he let go the gem fell on her back.

The gem assembled her bow and shot at Bardock.

Bardock blocked the arrows, but he was pushed back.

Bardock with his face looking angry, charged at her, as the fusion did the same.

They roared at each other, then Bardock raised his fists and slammed them down at the gem, but the fusion caught it, by using three hands per arm.

The ground cracked beneath them and a burst of air blew away some trees.

But Bardock grabbed one of her feet with his tail, and swung her away.

Alexandrite was getting pissed, so she breathed fired at him.

Bardock covered his face but his fur was catching on fire, and it hurt.

Alexandrite stopped, "Had enough yet?"

Bardock put his arms down, "All right, you asked for this!" Then he opened his mouth wide.

And energy formed inside, then it fired as an energy beam, blowing her back, afterwards, an explosion.

"Heh, face it, your fusion stands no chance against the Oozaru." Bardock said.

Then he saw a barrage of arrows in the sky, he covered his head but he was still being harmed.

Bardock waited for the barrage to end. "Seriously? If you think that's gonna take me down—" he was interrupted when suddenly a gauntlet was swung at his face and it hit him like a wrecking ball, knocking him down.

When he saw where it came from, he saw the gauntlet attached to a rope, like the Amethyst's whip. "Clever bastards." He said.

"You might be bigger and more destructive, but we have thousands of years of experience." Alexandrite said.

"Funny, that's what more of your kind said, before we would shatter them." Bardock replied.

That pissed the fusion off.

She charged his with her fused wrecking ball, and made three more, then she jumped and swung them at the giant ape, one wrapped around his neck, then right arm and leg, trying to immobilize him.

She was yanking all three, tripping the ape, stepped on his tail and choking him out.

Bardock was gasping for air, but the rope on his neck tightened, he tried to rip it off with his free hand, but it was futile.

"You can't win this, now, for the last time, GIVE. UP!" Alexandrite said to the ape as she was sure she won.

Bardock didn't know what to do, only to surrender, or let them kill him.

Bardock already knew how to get out of this, but what then? The gem fusion wasn't going to give up so easily either, he had to poof them at least, so they would stop being such a pain in the ass.

He looked at the moon he made, and he had an idea, it was going to suck, but if he was going down, he was gonna take those gem down with him.

Bardock made up his mind, and so he boosted himself up and slammed his back on the gem fusion, squashing her.

Bardock was being lifted by the fusion, then thrown aside.

"Alright, I've had it! This is gonna end one way or another!" Alexandrite said, summoning her warhammer.

"Don't worry, this will all be over soon." Bardock said.

Alexandrite swung at the ape again, but Bardock caught it and pulled it to him, pulling her as well.

When she was close enough, he grasped her in a bear hug, crushing her.

"You're not gonna poof so easily, so I'm gonna make sure that you're not gonna get back up from this." Bardock said as he jumped high in the air.

Alexandrite looked up to see and saw that they were getting closer to the energized moon.

"You… You can't be serious! You'll destroy us both!" Alexandrite said.

"Don't care, you will not do to this world, what you did to the others!" Bardock said.

Alexandrite didn't pay attention as she struggled to break free, she even breathed fire in the ape's face, but he wasn't giving in, when it felt like his ascending was slowing down, he putted one of his hands in the air, and pulled it down, making the sphere fall down as well.

The fusion, stopped breathing fire, as she thought it was now pointless, she just closed her eyes and hoped for the best.

Bardock did the same.

When the sphere made contact… it exploded, into a giant bubble of white energy, as it consumed them both.

Then, it turned to smoke.

Out of the smoke was Bardock in his base form, with just a tiny bit of consciousness left, when he saw four small gems were blown away to the ocean.

"It… serves… you… right." He said, before finally losing consciousness.

He landed on a beach, in front of a mountain, with a house built on the side of it.

He made a giant crater in the sand, then a large shadow of an animal was on top of him.

The animal came closer and licked the Saiyan.

"Hey Lion! What are you doing over there?" A boy with poofy haircut, wearing a pink T-Shirt with a star in the middle, jeans and sandals.

When he came to see what Lion was doing, he was surprised.

"Whoa." He said, as he saw the man, he looked hurt and he wasn't waking up.

"Lion… help take him inside, he looks hurt." The boy said.

The pink lion didn't move.

"Pleaseeeeee." The boy begged as he made a face that was hard to resist.

The lion growled, then it grabbed the man's hair with his teeth, and dragged him to the house.

And that's the end of that, I hope you guys liked it, sorry I couldn't upload it sooner, this whole week I couldn't work on this at all, like the weekends are where I had the most time. That might be the case for a while, hope you guys can understand that, till next time.
