Face to Face

Bardock

Android 17, Cargo

Beep beep ... beep beep ... beep beep

Bardock turned off the GPS as the two dots nearest his own came closer and closer. He set it into his bag and prepared himself. He could already hear the two sets of footsteps coming near him. He carefully squattered from his position high in the trees as the figures headed south towards the cliff. Where they would die.

Down below, Cargo and Android Seventeen remained oblivious to anyone else. According to the latest announcement, there were seven other people out there so they were confident no one would be able to find them without there being some notice.

"It's pretty, isn't it?" Seventeen asked Cargo as they reached the cliff. He looked over and saw not a namekian, but his beautiful lover, Paige. "What a view."

"Yea," Cargo responded, trying his best to go along with it. "Sure is."

It was very soothing to Seventeen, who not very long ago was such an emotionless killer. Now he was here, reunited with his lover. Corpses littered the island but here she was. Alive and well.

At least until Bardock shot her in the back.

"Hrk!" Cargo's eyes lit up as he felt a jolt in his body. Fortunetly, the ki pistol hadn't got him in any vital organs, but the damage was done. It was all he could do to just fall to one knee, instead of all the way off the cliff. "Urg..."

Seventeen looked in shock from Cargo to the newcomer. Bardock stood there, pistol in hand, aimed at the cyborg. But Seventeen's eyes didn't see a saiyan warrior. No, it saw a pink monster that he knew all too well. "...Buu?"

The saiyan opened fire. Seventeen grunted as the ki pistol shot him in the hand. He barely rolled to the side, unsheating his own pistol and raising it up.

"Fuck!" He shouted, shooting back at the opponent. "Buu, why'd you shoot her!? How are you...!?"

Bardock didn't respond, instead moving behind trees as he kept running, using all of the plants as cover. Ki shots fired as the two kept locked in on the gunfight. Bardock was focussed, but Seventeen was confused above all else. How could things end up like this?

The saiyan came out from his cover without warning. The android tensed, preparing to face his friend head on. "Don't do this, Buu!"

Bardock opened fire with the flamethrower in his other hand. Android Seventeen had no choice but to duck and turn. The saiyan moved to give chase, but a sting knocked him in the back of his ankle.

The elder fell forward as the flail cut into his ankle. He rolled up to his feet. Cargo held his wound, swinging the flail again and giving Seventeen time to run (who was under the assumption Cargo/Paige was dead). Bardock easily ducked it from the injured namekian.

"Damn you!" Cargo hissed. He lept forward, but Bardock turned sideways and avoided it.

Cargo landed on the ground and turned around to come face to face with the ki pistol. It exploded with a loud bang, blasting the green head open.
