He clenched and unclenched his hand, not even realizing he was doing so.
#12, Goku.
It was happening again. All over again, just like before. His cold black eyes stared sightlessly into the stack of firewood he had gathered, realizing in the back of his mind it had been a useless chore. They weren?t going to be staying in this spot much longer, anyway.
Clench. Unclench.
Ka?Kakarotto?
Clench. Unclench.
Whispers of flame trailed along his skin, subconsciously bid to the surface. Clench. Unclench.
Last time he hadn?t been able to do anything about it. This time would be different. It was a competition. His son had known the risks. Bardock knew the risks. But it was all the more motivator to watch every other competitor on this island fall before his feet. The father closed his eyes, letting the anger seep away. It wouldn?t do him any good to be clouded, not when he needed to be at his best on a moment?s notice. In fact, he laughed?a hollow chuckle. Bardock spent all this time stewing over the fate of his sons, and they probably didn?t think of him at all. Out of sight, out of mind. The saiyan stood up, having been oblivious to the goings-on of what was around him.
?We?re going to go look for some fun,? he grinned wolfishly.
Suddenly, the crack of a branch could be heard, and a loud crashing noise ensued. The saiyan?s head whirled in the direction of the ruckus. Why hadn?t his scouter warned him of any encroaching presences?
?Oh, son of a bitch,? a voice grumbled. Again: female. No would-be attacker would be so foolish?or so clumsy. And yet, this amateur had stumbled upon them without so much as a hint of detection. Bardock growled.
?Um, hey?? the woman began. ?Did anyone here hire a stripper??
With that, the fighter ignited his fists, keeping them in the ready position. He was purely hostile. Had he been the one to reach her first, her back would have been up against a tree three feet in the air with a flaming hand poised above her face. Fortunately, someone else had been the one to assist, and nearly everyone stood between the two.
?You?ve got five seconds, girly,? he warned maliciously.
