Bardock tensed up his entire body. A wave of ethereal, golden energy passed washing upward, transforming Bardock's body into that of a Super Saiyan as when the energy washed over Bardock's upper body, his hair turned golden and spiky and his eyes turned teal while his features became sharper and better translating of his rage.

The legendary warrior dashed while retaining his stationary position. Instead of charging at his opponent head-on, Bardock glided across the space between them like a strider, delivering a rushing flurry of punches and kicks and swatting Lazuli aside with an upward kick. After pursuing his opponent in the air, Bardock punched and kicked her a few more times, making sure that each one of his blows carried the will to break his opponent and move on to challenge the one he really wanted to destroy.

With an overhead slam, Bardock sent Lazuli crashing into the North City below. A pillar-sized forceful shock wave of compressed air took off from the crashing zone as violent quakes shook the entire town, derailing monorail trains and shaking the very foundations of the surrounding futuristic skyscrapers. Despite the shocking display of strength, Lapis looked at his sister's crashing zone with a cocky smirk.

A pair of shining energy spheres appeared in Bardock's hands as the Super Saiyan flung a barrage of Ki blasts down to further bombard his opponent while she was down. He saw this arrogant belief that nothing he could do could hurt Lazuli as an invitation to not hold back and utterly obliterate that smug and immature woman. The sounds of snapping filled the air as Lazuli's image blurred in and out, around the airborne Ki blasts.

Bardock crashed against Lazuli in a collision, driving his elbow against her blow. The woman's kick lashed like a whip thirsting for flesh for it to rend. Lazuli then drove her elbow straight into Bardock's nose, cracking blood to drip from it at once. With a battle cry, Bardock threw his own gliding cross to Lazuli's jaw, driving her back staggering the same distance that her attacks sent him gliding back.

The artificial woman charged back at him again with a flying knee. Bardock crossed his arms and absorbed the shock of the hit with his palms. The two erupted in energy aura and took off, exchanging blows as they rose to the lower levels of the atmosphere. Bardock caught a few of Lazuli's jabs and crossed his arms again to absorb the lash of her stiff roundhouse kick. The woman vanished again with a speed that surprised Bardock. Appearing behind him, the artificial woman slammed her hands in a double ax handle slam from behind him. Bardock grunted and caught himself in mid-fall, halting with moderate effort and turning back to his opponent.

"Well, well... You ain't half bad, are you?" Lapis teased Bardock from the sidelines while his sister played with her hair that had obstructed her view in the hectic, hi-speed battle.

"You dumb bastard, are you implying that you're having fun!?" Bardock clenched his fists and grit his teeth, seething in hatred for these artificial constructs of nuts and bolts that yet again dared stand in the way of him saving his family.

"Yeah," Lazuli raised her voice so that Bardock could hear her from higher up. "This is the first time that we get to cut loose like this. It's been so infuriating that the old hag rebuilt us with all this power, but for years, all that we could do was those boring experiments and business meetings. What's the point of this power if you can't use any of it?"

"I see, so she built you from scrap, like that pale-faced bitch from the north..." Bardock spat aside and took a brawling fighting stance in preparation to go at it again.

"That bitch? You must mean Androids One-Nine and 19. You yokel, don't go around comparing us to the likes of them!" Lazuli bit her lip in ire and charged head-first at her opponent.

"Wide open!" Bardock smirked, placing his hand aside and forming a cerulean energy sphere in his left hand. "Riot Javelin!"

The Super Saiyan flung the energy sphere as if he had pitched a playball. Lazuli's eyes widened as she did her best to halt herself in mid-air, but covering herself up and bracing for impact was the best that she could do. The energy orb slammed right into her and detonated immediately, drowning out the skyline above North City in smoke, flames, and blinding flashes of light while Bardock flexed his limbs and cracked his knuckles and neck in preparation to dispose of the other cocky brat.
