Description

Star Wars VS Dragon Ball Z! These two villains had huge fighting potential and for years they reluctantly served under a Galactic Tyrant. They then saw the error of their ways and tried to kill the Galactic Tyrant and ended up dying in the process but not before fathering powerful sons who would carry on their legacy! Who will win? Who will die?

Interlude

Wiz: Every father should ideally act as a positive role model for their children, but these two fathers did exactly the opposite and killed hundreds of innocent beings in the name of a Galactic Tyrant.

Boomstick: But thanks to their sons, they were eventually able to see the error of the ways and attempted to destroy the Galactic Tyrant who they previously served, but ended up dying in the process. Bardock, the father of Goku and Raditz.

Wiz: And Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith and father of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

Boomstick: He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!

Wiz: And it’s our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out would win a DEATH BATTLE!

Bardock can See the Future in DEATH BATTLE!

Wiz: Planet Vegeta, home of the race of warriors called Saiyans. While the Planet was ruled over by its royal family, along with its elite and middle classes, the majority of it’s population was made up of lower class warriors, who conquered planets in the name of the galactic tyrant, King Cold and his son, Frieza.

Boomstick: And one of these lower class warriors was Bardock, who led a team of other lower class warriors to kick the crap out of various civilisations and planets that Cold and Frieza couldn’t be bothered to deal with themselves.

Wiz: Despite his team being fairly successful in battle, Bardock was forced on multiple occasions to step in to save the life of his fellow teammate, Gine, who was unsuited to a life of violence. Eventually they’d fall in love and have two children together, Raditz and Kakarot.

Boomstick: A.k.a. Radish and Carrot, because Toryiama likes his vegetables!

Wiz looks at Boomstick with a confused look on his face.

Boomstick: What?

Wiz: ‘Sighs’ Anyway, due to Goku’s origin story being changed over the years, Bardock’s own story takes two different paths.

Boomstick: In Dragon Ball Minus and the Broly movie, Bardock took a page out of Jor-El’s book and him and Gine sent Kakarot to the Planet Earth, in order to save him from being destroyed by Frieza, when he suspected that the dictator was planning to destroy Vegeta. Bardock then ended up being engulfed in Frieza’s supernova, whilst trying to stop the tyrant from destroying his home planet and his story ended there.

Wiz: However, in the original timeline things turned out slightly different for the father of Goku. After being granted the gift of foresight by the last surviving inhabitant of Planet Kanessa, Bardock started receiving visions of Planet Vegeta’s destruction and of his son Kakarot defeating the emperor in battle.

Boomstick: Long story short, Bardock’s squad was killed by Frieza’s men, Bardock tried to convince the other Sayians that Frieza was planning to destroy Vegeta, failed to do this and then flew towards Frieza and men like a maniac, before getting caught in Frieza’s supernova and dying along with the rest of the Sayian race.

Wiz: Oddly enough, Bardock wasn’t actually killed when he got caught in the supernova and got sent back in time in mysterious circumstances, before killing Frieza’s ancestor, Lord Chilled and supposedly becoming the first Super Sayian in the process.

Boomstick: Bardock is strong enough to kill Frieza’s and Chilled’s soldiers with ease, has a power level stronger than Nappa, the Sayian army Commander-in-Chief and is comparable to Frieza’s First Form in his base form.

Wiz: He’s fast enough to blitz Chilled and fly up from Planet Vegeta’s surface into its atmosphere within seconds and was durable enough to survive getting betean up by Chilled, Dodoria’s squad and Dodoria himself and survived Frieza’s supernova before being sent back in the past.

Boomstick: While Bardock is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, like all Dragon Ball characters, he can harness and use his ki energy to fly and pull off a variety of unique attacks.

Wiz: The Full Power Energy Wave is a ki attack launched from the palm of Bardock’s hand, the Flip Shoot is an alternative version of the move where Bardock performs a flip before using it, the Rebellion Trigger is another energy attack and the Super Energy Wave Volley is where Bardock launches several ki attacks at his opponent simultaneously.

Boomstick: Goku’s Daddy also likes to combine physical strikes with his ki attacks to form techniques such as the Rebellion Spear, where Bardock rams into his opponents before punching them, the Heat Phalanx, where he attacks the opponent with a heated punch and the Vortex Crusher a spinning attack that is followed by an elbow to the opponent’s head. Man, I wish my Daddy taught me some amazing fighting moves before he, you know, left...

Wiz ignores Boomstick.

Wiz: His ultimate attack is the Final Spirit Cannon, where he charges a powerful energy attack in his hand before flinging at his opponent. Also, if Bardock’s base form isn’t strong enough to defeat a particular opponent, then he can use the Power Ball technique to create an artificial moon to transform into his giant Great Ape form. In this form his power increases ten fold and he is able to shoot laser beams from his mouth and crush his opponents with his sheer size. Unlike most lower class warriors, Bardock has full control of his Great Ape form, but cannot speak normally while in the form and can only grunt in it.

Boomstick: As mentioned before, Bardock has achieved the form of Super Sayian which gives him a 50X power increase and enabled him to easily defeat Lord Chilled. But, despite the glowy hair and the huge power increase he gets, Bardock hasn’t had much experience using the Super Sayian form and would therefore still experience the considerable stamina drain and anger problems that Goku experienced when he first achieved the form.

Wiz: As a Sayian, Bardock has the ability to receive a Zenkai or power boost whenever he recovers from a life threatening injury, which in theory would allow him to eventually overcome any opponent he faces, as long as he is able to always recover from his injuries. Bardock is a highly and independent skilled warrior and while he is willing to kill his opponents in cold blood, he does display a significant amount of humanity, compassion and loyalty to those he cares about.

Boomstick: Bardock’s power level of 10,000 was significantly stronger than Nappa’s power level and was able to rival King Vegeta’s power level. Bardock also was able to become the first Super Sayian and kill Frieza’s ancestor, Lord Chilled in the process. Additionally, he had the willpower to defeat a squadron of elite warriors on his own, get back up from a powerful attack from Dodoria, travel back to Planet Vegeta and then take on Frieza and his army all on his own whilst being heavily injured. DAMN, he’s definitely one stubborn son of a bitch!

Wiz: However, this stubbornness also contributes to one of his greatest weaknesses, pride. While his willpower and pride may know no limits, his body does have clear limits and he can be knocked out of his Super Sayian form, if he is injured enough and forced out of his Great Ape form, if his tail is cut off or his Power Ball is destroyed. He can also be taken down with enough force, as shown by how he was left completely helpless when he was consumed by Frieza’s supernova in the Broly movie.

Boomstick: But despite being overshadowed by his more popular son, with his sheer willpower and vast array of techniques and transformations, Bardock has proven that he is capable of holding his own against and defeating a considerable number of powerful opponents!

Bardock: "No way! You’ve lived long enough! Actually it’s been too long for my taste! Frieza! Listen up! We quit! All of us! Got it? We don't work for you! We're free! You can find someone else to do your dirty work! Oh yeah, there is one last thing... This is for all the people that we've killed in your name! I wish we were never foolish enough to obey you! Here! Have it!"

Darth Vader Forces his Way into Battle!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a young boy named Anakin Skywalker was born on the planet, Tatooine. 

And get this, he was the chosen one to destroy the evil dirtbags known as the Sith!

So he was trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi master, and Anakin had proven himself to be a true Jedi warrior.

But then that jerk Sidious made Anakin go evil and turned him into...Darth Vader...

Palpatine: You shall be known as Darth.....Vader.

For this fight, we'll be using and analyzing Vader from a mixture and composite of his Legends + OT skills.

He's got his favorite Force Choke which pretty much makes anyone, well, choke with the Force! And he doesn't even need to grab them!

He also wields a Lightsaber, a giant laser sword that's capable of cutting through anything. His was made especially for him, actually! This handy blade lets him cut through any kind of steel, even melting it! According to our calculations, steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500°F), meaning that the lightsaber is extremley hot! 

He's also got Force Scream, a scream so strong that it can kill anyone with low durability! How the hell does he do that?

He also uses Force Stun, an attack that leaves his opponent paralyzed for a certain amount of time. Force Healing allows him to heal even the most fatal of wounds at a rapid pace. Heck, Force Heal itself is powerful enough to heal someone with punctured lungs and being...cooked alive? Either way, Vader can recover almost instantly when using Force Heal. In fact, a regular human's wounds can recover in 7-10 days, but Vader can recover in mere SECONDS, making Force Heal possible 1000 times faster than the average healing time!

Even Wolverine's healing factor can give it a run for it's money! Who knew Vader was so freaking tough?!

Vader may be strong physically, but his greatest strength is his manipulation and mental tricks! For example, he has Memory Manipulation, which allows him to access more information about his opponent, like their language and even project his opponent's worst fears!

Whoa! Watch out Scarecrow, there's a new fear-projectionist in town!

Vader can also bend his opponents to do his own bidding, and even killed a Toydarian, beings famous for their ability to resist mental attacks, by inflicting so much mental pain on it!

Vader is badass but he does have a pretty big weakness, like his suit, which makes funny breathing noises and deprives him from sleep, gives him constant itches, and tends to malfunction sometimes.

True, and he's way too reliant on his helmet, that without it, he would die from not being able to breathe, but Vader managed to pull off some impressive feats, like defeating Luke in combat once, killing the Toydarian and killing Palpatine, with his last few breaths!

At the end of the day, you GOTTA respect the Dark Lord of the Sith!

Darth Vader (to Luke Skywalker): There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you.

Darth Vader VS Bardock is a What-If? Death Battle created by XarXel.

Intro

Wiz: "Darth Vader, Sith Lord of the Galactic Empire, and father of Luke Skywalker."

Boomstick: "Bardock, low class Saiyan warrior, and father of Son Goku.

Wiz: "In the midst of conquering, or destroying, entire worlds, there's no room for sympathy, not even for your own child.

Boomstick: "And yet, despite their iron fisted stature, they weren't beyond redemption, thanks to their offspring. Now let's make them fight eachother! He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!"

Wiz: "And it's our job to test their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle."

Darth Vader

Wiz: "In a galaxy far, far away, was a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire."

Boomstick: "During the battle, rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's greatest weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet."

Wiz: "Princess Leia races home aboard her spaceship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy."

Boomstick: "But she is pursued by the Empire's most sinister agent, one who would snuff out hope like that in the galaxy with the grip of his iron fist..."

Wiz & Boomstick: "DARTH VADER!"

Cue the iconic Vader breathing

Boomstick: ""No other threat in the galaxy has anyone shit their pants more than just hearing his name. He's a one-man army, in that he slaughtered an entire fucking army single-handily! He was a threat to Jedis everywhere, including Luke Skywalker. He's out here trying to avenge his father's death, and he gets his arm cut off!"

Wiz: "But in a shocking twist that cemented this franchise as an icon, Darth Vader reveals he IS Luke's father.

Boomstick: "What!? NOOOOO!!!

Wiz: "Yes. Before he was the Dark Lord of the Empire, Anakin Skywalker was a young slave turned Jedi warrior and expert pilot for the Republic, claimed by Qui Gon to be the chosen one to destroy the Sith. He fought, along side his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, in the Clone Wars to restore order back to the galaxy.

Boomstick: "And he had to fuck up that missing by having children!

Wiz: "Boomstick!"

Boomstick: "What? Jedi aren't allow to have children, let alone a wife, but Anakin just falls in love with Padme Organa and kept it a secret from everyone! And he knocked her up with twins to boot! Not the best secret to have when becoming a Jedi Master."

Wiz: "Well, despite being an admirable general in the Clone Wars, he never did achieve that rank. So he's allowed in the Jedi Master Council but not the rank of Master Jedi. (sarcastically) Makes sense."

Boomstick: "Probably because he can really be irrational and, even before sub coming to the dark side, had no qualms murdering people, albeit people who have done worse. Then again, this Samuel Jackson dick never really trusted Anakin to begin with."

Wiz: "If that wasn't enough, he had nightmares of Padme dying over and over again, consuming him mentally of his fear of losing someone he loves dearly, especially after having his mother dying in his arms."

Boomstick: "Not to mention Ahsoka leaving the Jedi order after they almost found her overwhelmingly guilty until she was proven innocent, but we digress.

Wiz: "He seeks help from Chancellor Palpatine for guidance, who was actually Darth Sidious, the last Sith Lord who has been orchestrating the Clone Wars to begin with. And he played Anakin like a pawn. With killing off most of the Jedi Council assassinated by their hands, Anakin turns to the dark side and becomes Palpatine's Sith apprentice. That day, Anakin was no more. He was killed by Darth Vader."

Boomstick: "This was the dawning hour of Order 66, where the remaining Jedi are hunted down and defeated, including his previous mentor, Obi-Wan. With Anakin consumed by his rage, Obi-Wan had no other options other than 'The High Ground'! It was obvious he stood no chance."

Wiz: "Scarred by the blazing flames of his defeat, his body was suited into his iconic armor. Now serving his loyalty to the newly formed Galactic Empire, Darth Vader was known throughout the galaxy as the Dark Lord."

Boomstick: "And boy, does he live up to the title. As a a former Jedi Knight, he has his trusty lightsaber, expect the Sith don't use those pacifist blue or green colors. They go for blood red - emphasis on the blood, cause the Kyber Crystal powering of the lightsaber turns red when it quote unquote 'bleeds'. That's so edgy, I think we owe Shadow the Hedgehog an apology."

Wiz: "All lightsabers can naturally deflect lasers, and cut through virtually anything, save for rare metals like Beskar, weapons with similar conductivity, or other lightsabers. This weapon has 7 different fighting styles, and Darth Vader in particular uses form 5, the perseverance Form. Anakin has always used the Djem So variant, where the Jedi defends with solid blocks and parries, then immediately countering with strong counterattacks and ripostes.

Boomstick: "And while this was made specifically for lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat, it works especially well against blasters. This form and variant of said form were made for Jedis with very little patience, which fits good ol' Darth perfectly, especially since he can move at near lightspeed."

It cuts to Wiz and Boomstick in the lab. Boomstick closes his eyes as he unsheathes his red lightsaber in front of his face as he begins to smirk.

Boomstick: "Your thoughts betray you, Wiz."

Boomstick jumps forward swinging his lightsaber and screaming at the top of his lungs. But Wiz waves his robotic arm and Boomstick's movement suddenly slows to a crawl.

Wiz: "But no Jedi nor Sith would be a master without the Force."

Wiz waves his arm again and sends Boomstick flying to wall, causing a huge crash.

Wiz: "Oh, shit. That was the door to my lab. Uhh, DUMMI, take over while I drag Boomstick out!"

DUMMI sighs and proceeds while Wiz rushes towards the wreckage.

DUMMI: "As Star Wars fans like you know, the Force is an mystical energy field existing all throughout the universe. Force Wielders like Vader are able to command this energy into many techniques, such as Telekinesis, Telepathy, Precognition, and, pardon the pun, Force fields. One ability you might know Vader for the most is the Force Choke, which-"

Wiz returns to the room levitating above the floor and grasping for air. It's revealed Boomstick was using said Force Choke on Wiz as he walked into frame.

Boomstick: "So it WAS you who took my special whiskey bottle!"

Wiz: *coughs* "It was contaminated with the covid virus altered by my particle accelerator!

Boomstick: "That's what makes it special!"

DUMMI: "-is self-explanitory."

DUMMI bonks his body on Boomstick's head, causing him to drop Wiz, who gets back up to take a comedically very deep breath and coughs. Boomstick himself ends up unconscious and falls to the floor.

Wiz: "Thank you, DUMMI."

DUMMI: "I suggest you stop weaponizing diseases with HIM around."

Boomstick gets up slowly and groggily. His state is practically like a stroke.

Boomstick: "LeT's WaTcH aDvEnTuRe TiMe!

Author's note: It's possible flight is also in his arsenal, as Leia, his daughter, could fly in space in The Last Jedi.

Wiz: "The Force isn't limited to just psychokinesis. Some of his options are elemental. Even before becoming a Jedi, he managed to burn someone from the inside out. Vader also learned a lesser variation of Palpatine's Force Lightning called Kinetite, a sphere of electric restrained kinetic energy that can be thrown at an enemy, more like a normal projectile than of electrocution. Speaking of projectiles, Tutaminis allows him to negate threatening energies from harming him, like Han's blaster fire.

Boomstick: "Augh... I didn't say anything dumb this time, did I?

Wiz: "What? No. Dumb is too kind of a word."

Boomstick: "Great. Well, the most terrifying Force techniques Vader loves to do are ways to control your body and mind. He can lock you in catatonic paralysis, where you're unable to move and at the mercy of him. He could probably follow it up with dominating your mind, bending it to his will, probing for information, erasing your precious memories, or just (long pause) give you a lethal dose of mental pain."

Wiz: "Such great power is in the hands of a manipulated apprentice. In fact, Emperor Palpatine feared of him overthrowing him, the same way he overthrew Darth Plagueis the Wise. Upon his assassination in his sleep, Palpatine's power grew big enough to cause a tremor in the balance of the Force that shook the whole galaxy, shaking stars and disaligning entire constellations in the process."

Boomstick: "Of course, the suit he built for little Annie was purposely hindering him, only making him 80% as strong. You don't want the chosen one to destroy the Sith to kill you, the Sith Emperor. Still, Sith like Vader have thrown the core of a star as a bomb, practically detonating a supernova. The Force shouldn't be this strong with these guys."

Wiz: "Well, what do you expect with Jedi being tamer with moving black holes with a thought? After all, Vader said the Death Star was insignificant in comparison, and the Death Star can easily destroy Alderaan, a feat worth 166 Ninatons. But, as Palpatine feared, Vader was not beyond redemption. Ahsoka, his Padawan, was only able to unmask his right, Obi-Wan, his master, could only unmask the left, but Luke, his son, took the whole helmet off."

Boomstick: "Seeing Luke not turn to the dark side despite his hate clicked something in Anakin. He sacrifices himself to throw that mother hubber down the shaft, enduring the lightning that shuts down his life support, and actually finishing off the Sith once and for all, just as Qui Gon predicted. (clips of Palpatine in TROS) Well, almost. Life finds a way, I guess."

Wiz: "Still, it only shows the power Darth Vader possesses, and it's truly impressive. Most impressive."

Bardock

Wiz: "The Cold Force, the strongest clan in space, have contracted the race of bloodthirsty Saiyans warriors to be their hitmen, conquering worlds and selling them to the highest bidder in their name."

Boomstick: "Unfortunately, these kinds of acquisitions don't tend to favor both sides at all. Just ask Warner Brothers. Frieza, the new emperor of the clan, feared these monkeys for their evolutionary potential after surviving years of fights. Being the ever brilliant tactician he is, he tricked every one of those monkeys to gather around Planet Vegeta, so he can nuke them all in one swoop."

Wiz: "But one Saiyan was not only suspicious of this sudden command, he was also one of the best low-class warriors that rivaled even the king. One that could stop Frieza from commiting genocide to his entire race; Bardock."

Boomstick: "SPOILERS; he doesn't succeed, but he's the father of Goku - the Saiyan who actually took down Frieza. Bardock just couldn't or else Dragon Ball itself would've been completely different from the start."

Wiz: "Well, now that you mention it, we'll mostly be looking at the original, but this version is mostly now non-canon, as the creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama decided to redo that story like he did with Broly. And, let's just say, what worked for rewriting Broly didn't work for Bardock."

Boomstick: "Toriyama once described the Bardock special as 'the kind of story I ABSOLUTELY wouldn't draw if it were me'. That's right, folks. We have literal physical proof he couldn't make a better story!"

Wiz: "With that said, let's continue. Like most Saiyans, Bardock is cocky, bloodlusted, and a fan of fighting. However, while other Saiyans were tamed by Frieza's - if you don't mind me saying - COLD FORCE-"

Boomstick: "Honestly, I'll give you that one."

Wiz: "Thank you - Bardock not only kept his pride and independence, but his compassion for the other low-class warriors."

Boomstick: "But as soon as a Kanassan puts karma on him for killing his race by giving him psychic visions, everything went to shit for him. Visions of Planet Vegeta blowing up and his son fighting Frieza kept popping up, even interrupting his fights. But the worst of all is when his teammates were killed off by Frieza's men and they plan to do the same to him."

Wiz: "With a thirst for revenge, and the fact no other Saiyan is willing to help him, Bardock vows to defy the odds and take down the Frieza Force himself. With his most recent defeat increasing his power level to nearly that of the Vegeta's 10,000 himself, the king not the planet, he was more than a match for most of Frieza's men."

Boomstick: "For reference, King Vegeta easily destroyed planetoids with a single Ki blast, ranging from 6 Ninatons to 1.8 Tenatons. But deleting planets isn't the only thing Ki can do. It can help Bardock fly, boost his Saiyan Power, or create a ball of energy that mimics that of a full moon, causing him to go literal apesh*t!"

Wiz: "But his Ki attacks hit harder, like the Rebellion Spear, where he charges with aura that obliterates anyone in his path. Or charging energy in his fist to use the Rebellion Hammer. Of course, it would be Dragon Ball Z without giant lasers, or in Bardock's case, the Full Power Energy Wave."

Boomstick: "However, his strongest attack is the one he was going to save the entire Saiyan race with; the Final Spirit Cannon! With this move, he blows everyone in his path away, though not enough to destroy Frieza's supernova. No matter the continuity, he could not avoid the inevitable."

Wiz: "Unless you had an actual time demon on your side to open a wormhole and send you into the past. Cause, that happened.

Author's note: While it's made for Bardock's backstory in Dragon Ball Online, Episode of Bardock is an officially made episode that has been included as part of the overall timeline a few times, although it's still considered a what-if scenario.

Boomstick: "Yeah, I wouldn't blame him for breaking down. He lost everyone he cared about, and stuck in time, but that was enough for his rage to reach sky high! Torn by the pain of this unfortunate predicament, Bardock reaches to new power in his Super Saiyan form! In fact, this was when the legend of the Super Saiyan began! Kudos, Bardock!"

Wiz: "With becoming a Super Saiyan, he gains a 50 times boost for all his stats. But you may be surprised by his speed. Raditz, another son of Bardock, had a power level higher than Piccolo, who was just as fast as his Special Beam Cannon, which is 40.5% the speed of light. This alone makes Raditz nearly twice the speed of light. With a power level of 10,000, Bardock would be 12.31 times faster than light."

Boomstick: "Wow! So no matter if he gets the job done, Bardock's legacy will go on."

Fight

The animation starts with a view of Planet Vegeta, as it starts to get literally overshadowed by the DEATH STAR slowly moving in position of destroying planets. We cut to the docking bay where a bunch of Storm Troopers guard it. The "Vault doors" (I think) open and out comes Vader, scaring the 2 Storm Troopers by the doors.

Storm Trooper #1: "L-Lord Hater! I mean, Vader! What are you doing here?"

Darth Vader: "Fool. This isn't just any planet. This is a planet of born-bred warriors, and hitmen of the Frieza Force. I expect no less than 1 of them trying to stop their race's eradication."

Just then, something crashes into the hanger, launching dozens of troopers away.

Darth Vader: "Case in point."

Bardock: "FRIEZA!!"

He starts Ki blasting everywhere, landing on one of the Storm Trooper near Vader, vaporizing him. The other Storm Trooper decides to go AWOL.

Storm Trooper #2: "Gah! I can't do this! I don't want to di-!"

Vader snaps his neck with a simple hand gesture of the Force, leaving the insubordinate lifeless on the catwalks. Bardock then sets his eyes on the Dark Lord, and rushes his Rebellion Spear straight for him, but Vader was quick to immobilize him.

Bardock: "What the hell!?"

Darth Vader: "Foolish Saiyan. Your power is insignificant to the Force."

FIGHT!

Vader clenches his fist, crushing the Force against Bardock's body with immense agony, before sending him flying away to crash into some TIE-fighters with a whisk of his arm. Bardock gets even more pissed, and rips a panel of the TIE-fighter to throw at Vader. However, he just stops it in it's tracks and throws it back spinning in the other direction more rapidly. Bardock quickly flies up just in time to evade, and throws a Ki blast at Vader, destroying the catwalks and forcing Vader to jump out of the debris towards his opponent.

Darth Vader: "Pitiful."

Vader unsheathes his lightsaber and slashes it against the Saiyan warrior. Bardock blocks it with his arms, but the impact causes him to lose altitude and forces him to the ground floor. The lightsaber presses heavily against Bardock, so he grabs its plasma and punches Vader in the gut. He follows up with an open palm Ki blast, launching Vader to slam into a wall, cratering it. In the process, he lost his grasp of his lightsaber, as it rolls on the floor behind them both.

Bardock fires a Full Power Energy Wave from his hands straight to the Sith Lord, and he's helpless to stop it. The impact creates a giant explosion which makes Bardock smirk, but after it clears, it's revealed Vader protected himself with a Force field. This shock to the Saiyan leads him to fire more FPEWs at him, none of them piercing the shield. With a wave of his left arm (cuz his right's holding up the shield), the lightsaber unsheathes and flies towards the distracted Bardock.

The lightsaber slashes him, ruining his concentration on attacking Vader. Bardock turns around with a Ki blast in his hand for the sonuvabitch who did that, only to be utterly shocked by the floating lightsaber.

Bardock: "Oh, God. A weapon with a mind of it's own-"

The lightsaber interrupts his breakdown (I think? Pretty sure there's a better word for this.) by slashing him repeatedly. Bardock grabs ahold of it on it's plasma, burning his hand and making him groan in agony. He could faintly hear Vader snickering and violently looks at him.

Bardock: "What, is this funny to you!?"

Darth Vader: "I find your lack of Force knowledge amusing, yes."

Vader says this as he surrounds himself with Kinetite. Bardock's blood boils and throws the lightsaber straight for Vader. He in turn jumps forward with his Kinetite to grab his lightsaber. Vader then throws the Kinetite at Bardock. He retaliates with smacking the first two away, but the third one zapped straight into him, forcing Bardock to change tactics. He blocks the fourth and fifth, but the sixth really did a number on him and nearly tips him over. The seventh and eighth Kinetite balls sends him flying, where Vader thrusts his lightsaber into him, and Bardock tries to counter with throwing a ball of Ki.

Bardock throws the ball of Ki, but it 'misses' his target, leading Vader to stab him in the arm. The impact drags them against the floor, where the lightsaber gets more sunken in Bardock's arm. He obviously screams in pain from this, but he still tries to smirk.

Darth Vader: "You missed."

Bardock: "Oh, I haven't even thrown the punch yet."

Vader was caught off-guard and confused by this statement, but one look in Bardock eyes made him connect the dots. He looks back at the ball of Ki, and senses a great aura from it. Bardock's arm grows bigger and hairier as he finally throws the punch, sending Vader back. Vader flips off the impact and lands on his feet. Bardock pulls the lightsaber out of his arm and crushes it in his hand before throwing it back to Vader.

The rest of his body morphs into the Great Ape, who prepares to fire a mouth laser. Vader was quick to use the Force to lift his lightsaber in the air, repairs it effortlessly, and unsheathes it as it returns to his hand. The Great Ape blasts his mouth laser, with Vader repelling most of it against his lightsaber. But the laser was too much and blasts through the Death Star, leading Vader to be launched in to the outer rim.

Vader was able to gravitate towards the surface of the Death Star, regaining his balance, but the Great Ape bursts through to give him another ass whooping by punching him around the planet-buster. When he comes back around, the Great Ape slams Vader into the ground. He then drags Vader across the outer rim, damaging the Death Star more.

The Great Ape throws Vader upwards and prepares to fire another laser. But Vader flips midair and throws out his hand, using the force to ignite pyrokinesis to blow up the energy in the mouth, stumbling the Great Ape back. Once Vader reaches the ground, he tries to enter his mind.

Darth Vader: "Perhaps a history lesson is in order."

As he searches in Bardock's mind, while also staggering his Great Ape form in the process, Vader learns of his past, his wife, his teammates, his son. This causes Vader to loosen his muscle tension and his grip on Bardock's mind, only a little bit. Once he hears of a pre-school Saiyan teacher saying they can be knocked out (I think) of their Great Ape form by losing their tails, Vader regains focus and puts that information into good use.

Vader unsheathes his lightsaber and, within a nanosecond, cut the tail clean off. The Great Ape was disoriented by losing his form and gradually reverting back to his normal Bardock form, where he proceeds to drop to the floor and almost throw up, but instead, spit out blood. That was before Vader puts him in the Force chokehold, where he is in no position to do anything but talk.

Bardock: "So, Frieza's too afraid to destroy the Saiyans himself, so he hired the 'Galactic Empire'?"

Darth Vader: "No. The Emperor vaporized him and his entire clan off the face of the galaxy. However, he too fears the Saiyans' potential like that spoiled brat did."

The Death Star's cannon lights up and fires upon Planet Vegeta. Bardock struggles to get out of the chokehold and stop that laser, but he's only able to watch it explode. Darth Vader hears millions of voices cry out in terror before suddenly silenced. Bardock breaks into tears, knowing he has failed his entire race.

Bardock: "I... I failed. I failed everyone. My crew. My wife. MY SON."

Vader starts to feel something he never felt in a long time; sympathy. His memories from Revenge Of The Sith and other Star Wars events came flooding his mind. But with a deep breath, he washes those thoughts away, unsheathes his lightsaber, and lets go of his grip on Bardock, dropping him to the floor. Bardock becomes confused, brushing his tears away as he waits for an explanation for his release from the Force. A blue light begins to shine on Vader.

Darth Vader: "To lose everything you love, is a pain devastating enough. But to be the cause of it, is the unfortunate joys of the Sith."

Bardock gets irritated by, as he slams his fist to the ground and a lightning bolt shoots around his body. He looks over to the Dark Lord with tearful rage.

Bardock: "You blow up my planet, and think you can just SYMPATHIZE with me? What, is this your form of gratitude, by some 'we're not so different' speech and recruit me to the 'Empire'!?"

The blue light on Vader, while still present, begins to be overshadowed by a red light, forming a purple light across his mask.

Darth Vader: "No."

Bardock goes from teary-eyed anger to visible confusion within seconds.

Darth Vader: "I cannot allow another troubled soul to fall into the deep pit of hell I buried myself into."

A moment of silence, while long, was interrupted by sudden rubble all around start levitating as Bardock's hair starts flashing yellow.

Bardock: "Well, then don't worry. I'm just here to deepen your pit."

Bardock roars with a mighty rage, turning into the legendary Super Saiyan. Darth Vader was impressed by this display, as his blue and red lights endarken.

Darth Vader: "Most impressive. But this is still insignificant to the power of the-"

His speech was cut short with a swift gut punch catches him off-guard. In fact, the impact was so great, Vader was left shook by the blow, while Bardock was only standing there mercilessly. He quickly went above Vader in a flash, and gave him a double hammer fist, sending him blasting through the Death Star at blinding speeds. Bardock then dashes through the pursuit in his Rebellion Spear, smashing Vader even further, breaking every single floor in the process.

Bardock blasts Vader with a Full Power Energy Wave, sending him out of the Death Star, busting the outer rim even more, and landing into an asteroid field. Vader attempts to get up, but Bardock comes swooping in, crashing through the asteroid, obliterating it.

Vader stops the motion of the meteor debris, and throw each of them straight at Bardock. However, not a single one of them could penetrate, much less stay in tact from, Bardock's Rebellion Spear, and he lands a devastating punch on Vader. But Vader was at least able to tag him back with a ball of Kinetite.

The two were sent flying in opposite directions, but only Bardock regain balance with a flip. Vader, on the other hand, was sent cratering into another asteroid. Not wasting the opportunity, Bardock grabs another, though smaller, asteroid, and bodyslams it against the bigger one Vader landed on, creating a massive explosion fragmenting the smaller asteroid. Bardock's unhinged laughing during the aftermath, however, left him open for Vader to force the rubble to incase the Super Saiyan from the neck down.

Darth Vader: "You're tenacious, I'll give you that."

Vader pierces through the rock and Bardock, causing him immense pain and suffering, screaming at the top of his lungs. But those blood-curling screams slowly become demented laughter, leading Vader to confusion. Knowing of the Saiyan's increasing power, Vader quickly puts away his lightsaber and makes an invisible Force Field for the foreseeable attack. And right he was to do so.

Bardock: "Cute."

The makeshift container was eviscerated from the Saiyan's power rising and knocking back Vader. Bardock slams his fists on the Force Field continuously, almost Jojo style. The impacts of each fists shakes the asteroid field more and more. Vader's Force Field weaken overtime and his arms begin to tire out, while Bardock's rapidly punching fists starts to bleed excessively. But after one last punch, Vader's Force Field breaks and rendered him helpless. Bardock quickly pulls a Full Power Energy Wave straight on Vader's face, blowing him away and damaging his helmet thoroughly.

Amidst the beam, Vader's Sith eye awakens and shows extreme rage. Vader unsheathes his lightsaber and cuts through the beam while using the Force to propel him forward. Bardock gets surprised by this power, so he charges up Ki in his other hand, but Vader swiftly pulls another Force trick. Bardock's scars on his face begins to glow bright yellow, before bursting out flames that disrupts Bardock, leaving him open for Vader's attack.

Two swift lightsaber slashes blows away Bardock, leaving to him rage even more. He grabs the lightsaber's plasma, letting it burn his hand, and kicks away Vader. Bardock then sheathes the lightsaber, and crushes the hilt between his hands, probably trying to turn it into a diamond.

Bardock: "Enough with your toys. It's time to end this!"

With that statement, Bardock dashes and strikes Vader so hard, he lands cratering the largest asteroid in the field. Finally, Bardock whips out the Final Spirit Cannon. For a hot minute (or 5 seconds), he charges it up to be as devastating as possible. Meanwhile, Vader weakly struggles to stand up as he looks at the beam about to be fired upon him.

Bardock: "This'll blow! You! AWAY!!"

Bardock throws the ball of death straight at the asteroid, but instead of blowing it up entirely, it only craters it greater than Vader's impact. Speaking of whom, as the dust clears, Vader has the ball in his grasp. Bardock was shocked and appalled by this stature of power. Then, through telepathy, he hears a haunting voice.

Darth Vader: "You're a fine warrior, but still insignificant to the Force."

Fear consumes Bardock as his body shakes like he pissed his pants, and his face remains mortified. He was even about to book it and fly far, far away, but Vader's voice keeps haunting him.

Darth Vader: "You have nowhere to run. I savor your fear."

That was the last straw Bardock's already short-temper, as his eye twitching, hair pulling, bandana groping coping mechanisms stop working on containing it.

Bardock: "How about my RAGE!!?"

He flies away, disappointing Vader, who rolls his eyes (or, eye as that's the one we see rolling)... until he notices something shady coming closer. Vader looks closer, and discovers it's the motherf*cking DEATH STAR hurdling towards him!

Bardock: "HOW'S THIS!!!?"

The Super Saiyan throws the whole thing straight into the asteroid. Vader stands right up, still with the FSC in his palm. He sees the hole Bardock busted into, and jumps super high towards it. As the Death Star crashes, Vader then steers straight through the hole carved in by the mad Saiyan beforehand. Vader pops out of the top, and floats right in front of Bardock, who is frozen in fear.

Darth Vader: "Insignificant."

Vader blasts the Final Spirit Cannon against Bardock, and the explosion could be seen from the galaxy view. Bardock's body begins to burn away, stretching it as he is dying. His screams fade from the explosion consuming his body until there's nothing left. Only the bandana is all that's left, which Vader uses the Force on to burn it to dust. He promptly flies to the wreckage of the Death Star.

Results

Boomstick: "I'm... I'm at lost for words."

Wiz: "This bout was not as simple as we thought. Both were experienced warriors in their own rights, even if their ranks say they're too far apart. They've slaughtered entire armies and conquered planets effortlessly."

Boomstick: "For what's it's worth, Bardock could still keep up the pace, kinda literally. Darth Vader can barely reach lightspeed, but Bardock can fly ten times faster, even higher in his Super Saiyan form. He could easily run circles around old Darth without breaking a sweat, and he can get in numerous hits before Vader could even react."

Wiz: "Unfortunately for him, he'd eventually get hit himself more times than not, as Vader's superior Jedi and Sith training prove too complicated for the raging Saiyan to keep up, especially with his lightsaber. The Great Ape and Super Saiyan forms do have greater power, but useless against much more skilled opponents like the Dark Lord, who was once a brilliant general in the Clone Wars."

Boomstick: "However, none of these are worth a dime compared to the Force and Ki - external power VS internal power! I mean, Ki blasts can pack a punch, but this is the Force. Defensive options such as Force Fields and Tutaminis can snuff out any lonely blast, and Bardock has no defense against mind control. But their significance isn't just relied on what they can do. We need their limits."

Wiz: "Well, Ki users like Bardock have only a limited amount, and too much Force can put strains on the human body, even for someone as skilled as 'the Chosen One', but that's not what you meant."

Boomstick: "Well, it's still important."

Wiz: "True. Bardock in his base form barely survived Frieza's supernova - thanks to an actual demon - and Frieza's power level is far higher than that of King Vegeta, who's Ki blast was worth 10 times more than the Death Star. Scaling power levels, this must've been worth 95 Tenatons."

Boomstick: "Oh, I'd like to see Darth Vader top that! Hell, with the Super Saiyan's 50 times boost, Bardock could deliver a blow worth a fifth of a supernova! You know, the self-detonation of a star!?"

Wiz: "Actually, there are few who beat that, like throwing a core of a star as a bomb. But Vader could easily scale to the Sith of all Sith, Emperor Palpatine, himself. On the night he killed Darth Plagueis the Wise, his power grew so great, he shook the starry sky itself, which is worth trillions of supernovas! And Vader himself have survived that to his body!"

Boomstick: "Oh, my God! You mean to tell me even a single hit from Bardock would only tickle this broken man? That's insane! And he's only 80% as strong as the Senate!"

Wiz: "It's no secret Bardock could still match up in this fight, but Darth Vader's skill in close corners and powerful Force from the distance made short work of the rebellious monkey."

Boomstick: "Bardock just didn't have the Spirit to pull through."

Wiz: "The winner is Darth Vader."

Soundtrack

The soundtrack name is "Imperial Rebellion".

The score cover would have Vader's iconic mask with Bardock's bloodstained headband around it. In front, a red lightsaber and a buff arm with Ki forming around the fist clash together.

Trivia

• The connections between Darth Vader and Bardock are that they're merciless soldiers in a galaxy conquering army (Galactic Empire and Frieza's Army) with no remorse with slaughtering the innocent, not even their children (Luke & Leia, and Goku & Raditz). But their evil ways are changed by their offsprings, and with their final breath, they attempt to take out their superiors. However, their attempts don't exactly work (Palpatine was resurrected 30 years later and Frieza's supernova still destroyed Planet Vegeta). Luckily, their sons will go on and continue their legacy.
• This fight would be animated in sprites (or just hire DevilArtemis again for SFM. Personally, not my preferred route).
