Of course, just as things seemed to be making some headway, what seemed to be the main event had to rear it's head and get in the way. Wonderful timing. Bardock put his guard up once Firefly had initially made his appearence, just incase he'd had anything else planned for them once he'd made it up to them. The explosion heard before his arrival was slightly concerning after all, nor did he feel like falling through what was now essentially the roof again, god forbid multiple floors. Thankfully, he didn't seem to be aiming to do that just yet--rather he was getting rid of their current lead. Shit. As Mr Combustible's body hit the floor, Bardock's expression went from a scowl to one that was much more annoyed. Just as they were about to find out huh? Really. Well, at least people didn't seem to waste too much time on starting to try wailing on the maniac, what with the fact that anyone that was intereted in him seemed to be trying to bring him down, instead of jumping ship.

Granted, things were off to a good enough start. Though, speaking of jumping ship. Seemed like Firefly did indeed have plans for those that were up top. Huh, wait a second those are bombs- The saiayn threw his arms up in suprise, getting ready to back off and try recover from the exact thing he was dredding, when A.M.A.Z.O made his move to get rid of the bombs. looks like he wasn't going to get blown up just yet, sweet. "Good work." Bardock gave what might as well have been his thanks once they were taking care off, before watching A.M.A.Z.O leap off to begin his own attack. As the fight continued, Bardock decided it was probably about time he joined it. Didn't want to give the Pyromaniac another chance to try taking them out after all. Better time than never anyways, seemed like that jetpack of his wouldn't be able to take too much more. With Firefly focused more on the ground, Bardock took the oppertunity to lunge towards him. His fist Leaving a slight trail of yellow Ki as he flew forwards, aiming to plant his fist in the man's face, what else would he do?

Well, at the very least, it was good to have a form of confirmation that what Ultron had just told them was true. Though it reamined to be seen if the new, Lightbulb headed man could even be trusted. It wasn't that he doubted the Information both he and the Ai had relayed at this point, oh no, but you'll forgive him if he thinks this guy is just trying to save his own skin by agreeing with the machine. Whatever. As he walked away from the man in question, Bardock scoffed, perhaps just a bit unimpressed at how spineless he was. He was so quick to cooperate after all, but at least they were getting somewhere. The saiyan crossed his arms, watching with a slight frown as the rather classy man found himself a spot, allowing him a moment to make them all aware of what it was he was actually able to tell them. The fact that he couldn't tell them anything about superman due to it being 'above his paygrade' made him roll his eyes for a bit, but at least he could tell them more about the other person of interest, Firefly. "Tell us what you know about 'Firefly' then. And i wouldn't lie about anything, for your sake. Got it?" Alright--Maybe the threat was a little bit unnecessary, but so long as it got the right information out of him, it didn't really matter to him. It got the message across, like Otto had prior.

The new information that Ultron would reveal to the group seemed to sour Bardock's mood ever so slightly, with the revelation that they'd been sent on what seemed to be a wild goose chase, in the sense that Superman had been missing for a few weeks now. Truth be told, a part of him couldn't help but get just a bit angry with that revelation. The saiyan let out an annoyed sigh, paying no mind to the man he'd grabbed by the arm a moment ago. That is, until both Ciri, and eventually Otto stepped over to talk to the man. He was a little thrown off by the fact that he did, infact, talk. Though, the request for Bardock to release his arm would largley go ignored until Otto told him to let him go. Though, the comment about killing their last captives did confuse him a little. Well, if he did, it was too late at this point to care. Finally, Bardock would release the man's arm and cross his own, backing off from the two that had apporached the man. They can handle the questions anyway. "Tch, I wasn't trying to kill him. Knock yourselves out. Find out whatever the hell he was doing in there, and why he's here, would ya?"

Well, this was...something. Truth be told he wasn't expecting a pretty classy looking person with a lightbulb for a head to come running out of the closet, but then again, what was he expecting to happen really? The man seemed intent on giving Cole a wack though. Bardock didn't think he was much of a threat, but maybe it's better to just stop this here, as funny as it might be to watch him bonk Cole with the stick. With a brief sigh, Bardock made a dash for the man, reaching for the arm he held his cane in. If he managed to grab him without a problem, he'd tighten his grip just a little bit, if only to deter him from attempting it. "Watch it." Bardock shot a glare up at the strange man's...face? It's a little hard to tell. Oh well..anyone else was free to interject if they wanted.

You know, if it hadn't stopped occuring by now, he really would've liked his future vision to have warned him about that. Then again, it probably would've just shown him something completey unrelated. Bardock has originally braced himself to land on what he'd expected to be the floor below, not to mention the potential rubble that might've followed his lead and have landed on top of him, always happens. But it indeed seemed as if things didn't quite turn out as he expected. Though, much to his brief suprise, someone actually caught him. Although, it was a face he didn't recognise from when they were all crammed inside the building with Lex, so...just where'd they come from? Wait a minute, were they the reason that thing came tearing through the roof he was stood on?- Tch, What's with that unimpressed look of theirs too? The saiyan grumbled, aiming to speak to his mind just a bit. "What? You got something you wanna say to me? Who even-"

He wouldn't actually get a chance to finish his question, naturally. If anything it seemed that as soon as Nahobino caught him, they were already letting go of him in an attempt to strike the chosen. Which mean't he was going to collide with the ground after all. Bardock hit the groud with a slight thud, and while he was slightly annoyed that they just-dropped him, at least it was better than not being caught at all. He didn't waste much time in picking himself back up though, dusting himself off ever so slightly. At least he'd been spared from any of the rubble, so that's a plus. Thanks to The Chosen Hunter's rather wordy speed though, he seemed to get the gist of what roughly had happeend before the roof came crashing down. Though When Cole revealed that infact, the might have more than Superman to deal with, he scowled.

"What, so there's someone else we've got to look out for too?" Needless to say he didnt sound too happy about that. 'Pain in the ass' he'd probably call it, but it wasn't like they could do anything about it yet. Though, his anoyance at the revelation was cut short by the thumping of the oddly unharmed closet. He turned his attention to it, heading towards it like Penny and Cole had before slightly stancing up incase it was indeed, bad. Guess they'll find out what's inside when Cole finally opens it up.

Once the saiyan had fully scaled the building, arriving on the roof. It admitedly didnt take him very long to realise that there was infact...nothing of interest for him here. What was he thinking anyway? that the big bag would be waiting for them all at the very top, for some form of dramatic showdown? No, it didnt seem like that was the case. Bardock sighed to himself, shaking his head with that ever familiar scowl. God he felt like an idiot, though, now he gets a moment to think about what he wants to do next. Seeing as there's nothing of interest up here, maybe he should try join in on some of the other action. Sure as hell isn't going to just sit around and do nothing, and it at least sounds like something's going on below him. Maybe he should just break through the roof and see if he could get the drop on someone...though that could also end poorly.

Of course, it didn't matter what he decided to do. As a sudden roar broke his trail of thought. "What the hell was that?-" Unfortunatley, not only did it seem like it was nearby, but it finally arrived by the time he'd realised. It looked like it was some kind of dragon? It didn't matter, especially since it's talons seemed intent on tearing through the roof of the building...right where he was standing. Suddenly the roof beneath him doesn't feel very stable...

Fuck.

And so he fell, through the now crumbling roof. Honestly this whole scenario felt pretty familiar. not falling through a roof exaclty, but more just-falling, in general. Maybe in a giant energy ball of death cast by a universal tyrant who knows. But hey, hopefully he doesnt land on anyone important. Let's go with that and see where this goes. From what he could make out whilst falling, there a least seemed to be someone he didn't recognise from the group before. Someone late to the party maybe? Eh. he'll figure that out when he hits the floor below.

Bardock had little else to say once he'd adressed his intent to join the strike team. The Saiyan just wasn't the talkative type, unlike some and considering the circumstances, there's really only one thing he's interested in now. Getting a good scrap in against their target, Superman. Thankfully, it seemed like he wouldnt have to wait much longer. The explosion that rung out didnt phase him all that much, though it did catch a glance from him at least, how could it not? Finally, some damn action. On his way out of the building he made sure to set his tail back around his waist. As if he'd just leave it out in the open for anyone to grab onto. What kind of idiot would allow that to happen? Hmm, Probably best to leave that question be. Especially since he could probably think of an answer that might be too true for it's own good.

He didn't need a scouter to tell him were to go, what with the people running away from the destruction like most sensible people would. Oh well, the thing was just a piece of junk at this point, and he'd probably break it on accident by pushing it too far. Though, it did also make things slightly more annoying for the Saiyan. He wasn't quite able to sense Ki, nor had he been given the time to figure it out since breaking free. That, combined with a lack of scouter meant...he'd have to go looking the good old fashion way, great. It put a scowl on his face, finding it more or less a waste of time, but he couldn't just level the building to draw him out.

For one, his 'Teammates' were inside, let alone any civilians that might still be in there. Sure, he was a Saiyan, but he also wasn't working of Frieza anymore, nor was that a part of the objective. Guess He'll just head for the top and see if he can find anyone startig up there. It's better than just running in like everyone else did. Nor did he really plan on taking anyone with him, despite Otto's orders for people that could easily scale the building to do so. If anyone wanted to follow him, that's fine, but he's not going to well, carry them.

"I'm heading up to the very top! If you can, you're welcome to follow me, but don't get in the way. I'm looking for a fight. Bardock barked his plan back at anyone who remained outside on the bottom floor, not that he thought anyone would listen, before getting ready to head up to the top of the building. Not really stoping for anyone or anything. Without another word, the saiyan begun his ascent to the very top of the building, the Roof. Already straying from the groups like a degenerate. Damn it, Bardock.

Bardock

Bardock had remained quiet for the most part, all the while attempting to stand as far away from the core group as he could, at the back of the pack so to speak. He wasn't exactly the most social person as is, and as things stood, he had too many questions going around in his mind to make conversation right now...even if he did want to talk to anyone. He'd already got some answers from listening to Lex talk, such as why they were all here for example, but he still ones relating more to his situation specifically. The saiyan huffed a sigh, assuming he wouldn't be getting those for a while, so, to hell with it. Why not have a good fight while he's here, hmm? It's not like he's got too much of a choice on the matter. It's help, or lose whatever chance he's got at getting out of the hellhole he arrived from and actually going home. Letting his tail uncurl from around his waist, Bardock took a few steps forward, attempting to finally speak up.

"Tch. I'll help. Not like I've got anything better to do." If the scowl on his face didn't quite say it, he wasnt thrilled at the idea of going back to 'bounty' work again, especially with where it left him last time. Thanks Frieza. However, the very same scowl soon enough shifted to a slight smirk of all things, with Bardock shifting to face Lex directly. "And if you know as much about us as you've led us to believe, you know I'm not going to turn down a good fight like this one." With that said, Bardock turned away to figure out which of the groups was the 'strike team', before proceeding to the very group. All the while thinking of the fight to come with the man Lex refered to as superman. Some of what he could do wasn't too new to the saiyan, flying, being incredibly strong. Honestly it almost sounded like he was a saiyan himself, especially with how he was acting now. The Though if he's anything as strong, if not stronger than Mira was when the two clashed, then maybe he'd get a chance to fight with the power of a Super Saiyan once again. He wasn't just going to not do it again, right?

"Hmph. Looks like i'm with the rest of you. If we're all done here, we shouldn't waste any more time."

Personality

Bardock is a Low-Class warrior from an Alien race known as the Saiyans. He is a warrior at heart, loving a good fight and is more than willing to kill in cold blood. He has been shown to be cocky, and like most saiyans shows a great pride in himself. Yet, unlike the prince, it doesn’t dictate every fibre of his being. Bardock is also able to keep a level head at times, although that’s not to say he doesn’t have his own moments of anger. He has also been shown to have a measure of humanity, compared to that of Nappa and much more specifically, Early Vegeta. Opting to attempt to save his allies, if all for nothing, and swearing vengeance upon Frieza. He is often regarded by other low class saiyans as brilliant, yet he rejects such compliments believing himself to be simply experienced for combat.

As previously stated, Bardock has the captivity to show loyalty and compassion towards his comrades, going so far as to mourn the death of his squad. He is at times laid-back and fearless, taking it upon himself to confront Frieza. Despite all of this, Bardock is far from social, being stubborn and straightforward in his outlook. Then again, maybe Gine’s softness has rubbed off on him just a little bit.

Equipment

Bardock isn’t actually carrying anything with him. Normally he’d have a scouter, but he lost it during his original confrontation with Dodoria. Currently, he still has the bloodstained armband that Tora used to wear wrapped around his head. Bardock also currently has a more updated set of battle armour, thanks to the duo of Towa and Mira. Like most battle armour, it’s stretchy, yet suprisingly durable. It’s presumably more durable than the set he wore before it was blown to pieces by Freiza.

Attributes

Attributes

Being a Saiyan, Bardock has enhanced physical Strength, Speed, and Endurance. He also has the ability to harness and utilise his Energy or ‘Ki’ with little effort, allowing him to fly, as well as create powerful blasts of said energy. This is often utilised in techniques such as:
‘Tyrant Lancer’ - An attack in which Bardock lunges forward, extending his hand to fire a wave of Ki.
‘Riot Javelin’ - A small blast, which grows aggressively in power when bardock is close to a critical condition.
‘Brave Heat/Saiyan Spirit’ - A Ki laced punch, followed up with a full power Ki blast.

Saiyan Transformations
Being a Saiyan, which still has a tail no less, Bardock can access the Great Ape or ‘Ōzaru’ form. This causes Bardock to grow into a Large Ape upon looking at the moon. This can also be achieved through the use of a Power ball, which results in the creation of a Fake Moon that provides a similar effect. Unlike his son, Bardock has control over the form, and can utilize its destructive capabilities to the fullest. His current power level is multiplied by that of Ten.


During his Clash with Mira in the time Rift, Bardock was able to unlock the power of a Super Saiyan. In this form, his hair Spikes up, Turning a golden yellow. His eyes also turn Teal. This form dramatically increases his strength, multiplying his base power to that of x50. However, due to it being the very first exposure of this and the following transformations, it is unrefined and therefore has room for improvement through the different grades of Super Saiyan (2-4).


During the battle, Bardock was also able to tap into the Transformations Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 come the Climax of their showdown. Super Saiyan 2 is similar in appearance to that of the first form. Sporting even spiker hair with a much more intense aura, with energy crackling around the transformed individual. This form once again causes his power to skyrocket, with a multiplier of x2 on top of the already staggering x50 prior. This form is more taxing than Super Saiyan, however it’s drain is nothing compared to the next in line.


Super Saiyan 3 is the furthest a Saiyan can go without the use of External methods such as the use of the Super Saiyan god Ritual (Super) or the Golden Ōzaru transformation (GT). It causes the User’s power to dramatically increase, pushing their strength to its limit at the cost of their Stamina, resulting in a x4 multiplier on top of the x2 and x50 from both Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2. This form is increasingly draining without refinement, and as such cannot be used for long periods of time in its normal state. In terms of visual change, it causes the user's hair to grow down to their feet in length, keeping the crackling energy of Super Saiyan 2.

Biography

Biography

Bardock is a low class saiyan warrior from the planet Vegeta. Like many other saiyans, he was a mercenary who led a small platoon composed of four other saiyans, these being Tora, Fasha, Shugesh and Borgos. Gine, Bardock’s eventual wife, was also said to be a part of this team for a time, but retired due to her gentle nature making her not quite cut out for fighting. Regardless, he continues to lead and work with his platoon, ‘Team Bardock.’

At some point, Bardock and Gine end up having a child, Raditz, and eventually, Kakarot (Goku). Much later, during one of their missions to wipe out another planet with his platoon, Bardock is knocked unconscious by one of the inhabitants, whilst being granted the ability to see into the future. He returns to find his squad decimated, having been wiped out by Dodoria and his minions at the behest of Freiza. Unfortunately, he doesn’t fare much better, but survives. He returns to Vegeta to warn the other Saiyans of Freiza’s impending plan to destroy them all, only none to believe him. He eventually goes to confront Freiza himself, only to be felled by his supernova.

Or so it would seem. In another version of this line of events, Bardock is sent through a wormhole that sends him to the distant past, a product of Towa and Mira’s intervention. Soon enough, he is placed under their control by a strange mask, hence the name ‘The Masked Saiyan.’ Bardock assists them in their efforts to create changes in history, only to be spotted by the future warrior shortly after the defeat of kid buu. The time patroller purses him to the age 778, interrupting Beerus and Goku during their conversation about Goku’s new super Saiyan god power. Bardock and the future warrior fight, leading to a portion of his mark breaking off, and revealing his identity, prompting Mira to intervene. Soon enough, Towa, Mira and Bardock are found on Earth in an unknown timeline, leading to Bardock fighting with the future warrior again. His mark completely shatters, rendering him unconscious.

He eventually returns to his senses, waking up and freeing both Trunks and the future warrior from Towa’s trap, before proceeding to drag Mira into the time rift with him. There, he and Mira engage in a battle, with Bardock coming out on top due to his immense increase in power. During this fight, he becomes a super Saiyan, super Saiyan 2 and super Saiyan 3. However, it is unknown what happens to him after, as time mysteriously seems to stop for the two after that. Unfortunately, only Bardock is never seen again.
