Day Three: Evening

[Burter Jr]

Face to Face

Bardock and Raditzu

Not a word was spoken. Blood poured from the small open wound on Rad's neck-bone, while Bardock's face and torso were almost completely obliterated.

Father and son, turned into enemies. Dante's Abyss had crushed another family with success. They had fallen into the game, and couldn't climb out.

There was nothing to be said about what happened. Two fingers pulled the triggers.

Six pistol shot painfully into the torso of Raditzu, who fired off the shotgun blast. It missed Bardock, causing Rad to hit the tree with a slight ka-thunk. When Rad fell to the ground, he fired again.

Bardock didn't stray. The shot hit him right in the neck, where he had hit Raditzu, and blasted away his bone structure. It was an almost science-fiction sight, to see his head held on by a simple strand of skin. His body dropped to the ground with a thud.

"Good...jo..."

That was it. Ten seconds of gun firing. Ten seconds that seemed to add up to eternity. Raditzu was like a child again, lost in the sensation of the drama. Even he couldn't explain it. Sad? Mad? Happy?

It had only lasted ten seconds, but for Raditzu, and even the dead Bardock, it was still going on.
