Welcome to Gaia! ::

DAY 1

Bardock stepped into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Tarin. He adjusted very easily to the gravity considering he had been on Planet Vegeta most of his life, though it was still a bit more intense than what he was used to. He didn't bother changing his clothing because he was already wearing a Saiyan chestplate with side flaps. He stood at the edge of the building, looking on into the infinite nothingness that existed in the Time Chamber. "Alright, Tarin. Kakarot gave me the lay of the land on this place... We should always stay close to this building. Unless you're some sort of navigational genius, there's no way you'd come back from a fall like this. Also, there's enough food in here for approximately one year, which is how long we'll be here. Good times, right?" Bardock chuckled. He turned around, observing the home-like area.

((Right... I'll have to edit that later. Also, we'll be doing timeskips quite often for obvious reasons.))

Bardock tightened his headband and rotated his arms, loosening up his shoulders to help him better prepare for the combat. "Sure is, but I don't think i'd sound too senile if I said this was on a larger scale." Bardock laughed, poking fun at his own age. Bardock, even though he hardly looked like it, was in his mid to late fifties. Combat had been his entire life. It was even his way of kicking back with old friends. But, such is the way of the Saiyan Warrior. He backflipped off the platform, hovering midair. He took a combat stance and the training began...

Bardock tilted his head slightly. He was suprised Tarin wanted Bardock to fight as a Super Saiyan. Though he quickly came to the realization that Tarin felt a burning need to improve himself. He flashed back to the beating Tarin took at the hands of Broly and that Broly called Tarin a waste of Saiyan Blood... He decided to comply wih Tarin's request. "Alright, Tarin, but don't expect this to be just a little boost." He said seriously, knowing that his power would eclipse the power of everyone excluding Broly who was at the Lookout. He began to charge up as his muscles swelled and his physical features changed into that of a Super Saiyan's. "Grah... AAAHHH!!!" He yelled as his aura appeared and his transformation completed.

Bardock was rather suprised to see how Tarin's power had increased. He was no Super Saiyan, but he sure wasn't someone to toy with. Bardock was able to deflect most of the blasts, but one or two hit him center mass and had him back-flipping through the nothinness of the Time Chamber before he regained his balance. He growled under his breath as he began to stand sideways, charging a Full-Power Energy Wave within his palm. He released the massive blast with a thunderous roar as it charged towards Tarin.

Bardock matched all of Tarin's assaulting kicks and punches with with own, both of them being battered by the powerful physical attacks of the other. To an onlooker, it would seem they were lifelong enemies with hatred seething inside them, but this was how the Saiyans bonded. Friendships forged with iron, fire and blood.

Bardock held his forehead, a small drip of blood ran down from his hairline which mixed with the blood on his headband. As he was pummeled in his moment of weakness, Bardock used some old-fashioned quick thinking and unleashed an explosive wave to knock Tarin away from him in order to give him some time to regain his composure. After a few moments of catching his breath, Bardock dashed towards Tarin, using the Instant Transmission technique which he learned in his travels, to teleport behind Tarin. He aimed to strike him in the back with his knee.

Bardock crossed his arms in a defensive position to block the ki blasts. He grunted as they connected with his forearms, leaving burn marks at the site of the hit. Their battle went on for hours inside, but only a few minutes outside.

DAY 30

Bardock was sitting at the table, rested well from their 30 days of combat, sleeping and eating. Bardock, like Goku and Gohan, never needed to know how to cook. He was holding a massive chunk of pork bigger than his head (Including his hair) trying to cook it with small charges of ki. He looked completely baffled as to how he was supposed to cook and eat this otherwise tasty dish. Finally, he got it at just the right temperature and began to eat away at it. After taking a few bites, he spoke to Tarin. "It looks like you've gotten much stronger... What do you think your power level is now? It may be time to go for the next level." Bardock said, taking another stretched bite of the massive hunk of pork. He was referring, of course, to the Super Saiyan form.
