Chapter 04-Invasion

The six months flew by faster than what Bardock was used to. Everyday, he would train according to what Scrix decided to impart to the warrior. Upon learning how to sense people to a small degree, he demanded that Scrix to transform back to the higher state of Super Saiya-jin. However, Scrix refused to do so much to the warrior's desire to sense what power he might have. Whether or not Bardock cared to see how much power he had, Scrix refused to flaunt it and make the warrior drive himself to the edge of death to attempt to obtain even a fraction of what Scrix's power was.

By the end of each day, or what Bardock would consider the end due to the three suns circling the planet, the warrior would fall asleep on the ground in the short and dense grass. Scrix on the other hand would meditate quietly; almost though his sleep derived on slumbering while sitting up. Days prior to the invasion, Scrix had finally given into Bardock's desire for combat to test the Saiya-jin warrior's skills.

"Remember, I will not transform or push you hard." Scrix reminded Bardock.

"Whatever. I rather fight you at your very best." Bardock scoffed.

"You would not be able to handle it, let alone survive." Scrix warned before he lunged at Bardock.

Instantly, the battle between the two warriors had begun and Bardock was amazed at the agility the former golden-haired warrior possessed. Despite never voicing it, Bardock often wondered if the legends about the Super Saiya-jin were tied into Scrix at all since he seemed rather confident in his abilities. Sadly, the cursed Saiya-jin never bothered to ask nor cared much about it due to the way the Super Saiya-jin seemed to boss him around every so often.

By the time one of the suns reached the horizon, Bardock found himself breathing hard; his stomach complaining from hunger. It was the first time Bardock had felt this need in six months. For a brief moment, his mind returned back to when he had taken the Elixir of Devotion that Scrix had offered. Had he not taken it, he would have never lived over a month before his body succumbed to hunger.

It was then his eyes widened. He almost thought it were impossible, no, insane to believe that what Scrix was. If he truly were a god...

"Are you done?" Scrix called out to the warrior. The very voice suddenly made Bardock sit up slowly.

"I... I can't believe this..." Bardock refrained from rubbing his stomach; his mind finally wrapping around the truth. "...you truly gave me the Elixir of Devotion..."

"I did. Why do you bring it up now?" Scrix strode towards Bardock with confusion on his face.

"A normal Saiya-jin would have died months ago and yet, I am just now starting to feel the hunger gnaw at my gut again." Bardock looked up at the approaching male with shock on his face. "Then you truly are..."

"I said that in the beginning, but you failed to believe until offered truth." Scrix admitted to the other. "I am the God of Strength."

"God of Strength... no wonder..." Bardock paled. "No wonder I could never beat you."

"If you are done training for today, I will ensure you do not hungry for another six months by offering you another elixir."

"No. I'll pass this time around and hunt for my own food." Bardock found the strength to stand despite how tough the god had been on him during training.

"As you wish."

"Forget the monkey. With immortality, I can easily wipe out the last of those dirty apes and ensure my rule forever!" Frieza's voice echoed along with his ruthless and insane-like laughter.
