Unexpected Fate

Chapter 03-Awakening Power

Silence fell upon the three warriors. Bardock glared at the green-skinned warrior that called himself Nail. The hardened warrior wondered where he was leading them when he stopped in the middle of the floor and remained there like he was expecting a sign of some sort. There was no staircase or doorways that he could visibly see besides the one he lingered in. Almost though patience had worn thin, Scrix shoved Bardock through the doorway for stopping short of the proposed goal that was not yet spoken.

"Stop pushing me!" Bardock growled; recovering from the illness and thoughts of what they were talking about moments before.

"You are not following him." Scrix replied; cutting straight to the point.

Bardock held his tongue to not yet insult the golden haired warrior and just walked towards Nail without another word uttered between his lips. No sooner did he reach the floor that Nail stood on, the green-skinned warrior began to ascend through a hole within the ceiling; one that perplexed Bardock greatly and assumed was where Guru was hiding within this house. Confusion crossed Bardock's face before he followed so Scrix would not give him a hard time through this odd doorway in the ceiling.

Upon reaching the next floor, Bardock noticed a huge figure resting in a chair and thought back to his training when he was carrying the rock upon his back. Perhaps this was what Scrix was preparing him for: to fight this guy that looked like he could body slam someone if he wasn't using any caution. He almost thought that the defenseless position he was in was all just an act. He would have gone after the huge and bulky creature had not Nail made a move before him.

"Guru, these are the visitors that have arrived here," Nail spoke in a quieter tone while bowing before the massive sized Namek. Bardock gawked. This was Guru? He was a giant compared to the Namekian warrior standing near him. If he were a fighter, Bardock might have been willing to find out if he could defeat a guy his size outside of Dodoria's girth and power.

"I see. So these are the warriors from space." Guru spoke in a morbid tone. "Which one of you is Bardock?"

"Huh? How do you know my name?" Bardock questioned; wondering how he knew this before he could dare introduce himself to this odd male sitting not far from him.

"I told him about you," Scrix answered.

"You had NO right..." Bardock began; anger clearly written on his face. He was irritated enough that he knew who he was before he had the decency to introduce himself to the golden-haired Saiya-jin.

"Would you please refrain from doing anything at this time and come closer?" Guru interrupted. Normally, he wouldn't even dare interrupt any argument; however, he did not really want a fight to break out between one of his children and the feistier one of the two Saiya-jin warriors that stood before him. His only wish was that none of them were to cause such a scene that it would drive him to his grave earlier than needed.

"First, what are you guys? I thought we were alone on this planet." Bardock rudely pointed out. None of them seemed to be offended by this statement; especially when he seemed highly uncomfortable being on the planet with creatures he had yet to understand or learn about.

"I would have explained it to you if you had not been so focused on trying to gain strength." Scrix rolled his eyes. "These are the Nameks that live here."

"These guys are Nameks? Weird, I would have thought that they would call themselves something else." Bardock felt a piercing glare from Scrix; one that felt he was testing his patience. "Fine, I'll go see what this Guru person wants. If he makes one false move..."
