"Guest" from Beyond the Stars

Bardock bared his teeth and cursed; caught off guard, he was forced to take the beating, completely unable to fight back.

Don't let Ausbie's young age fool you; the power within her body was no less than Bardock's, and every punch that landed on him hurt like hell.

"Uncle Bardock, go down and eat dirt!"

Ausbie channeled the power within her, gathering it into her lower leg, and spun her entire body in the air for eighty-two full rotations, each spin accumulating power for her leg.

By the eighty-two rotations, Ausbie's lower leg seemed to be coated in a brilliant glow, and she delivered a fierce strike, kicking Bardock directly in the back.

"Ah!"

Under this terrifying force, Bardock was sent flying like a cannonball, slamming straight into the yellow sand.

BOOM!

The yellow sand that had just settled began to churn once more, filling the entire sky.

A while later.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A hot wind blew the sand away, and visibility was restored.

Bardock was buried in the sand, with only his furry tail exposed, twitching from time to time.

"Hee hee, Uncle Bardock, are you okay?" Ausbie giggled, slowly drifting down from the sky to his side.

The tail in the sand twitched twice, but the figure beneath it remained motionless.

A while later.

Bardock squeezed himself out of the sand, spat out a mouthful of grit, and grumbled, "You brat, hurry up and help me up."

Feeling the pain all over his body, Bardock sighed; fortunately, Ausbie had been careful with her strength, otherwise, he would have had to consume a precious Senzu Bean.

However, Ausbie had told him to go eat dirt, and he had ended up with a mouthful of sand.

How utterly embarrassing!

Not long ago, Bardock had vaguely felt that Ausbie was no match for him. When the girl suddenly asked to spar today, he had assumed she just wanted to practice her combat techniques.

He hadn't expected her to make him eat dirt!

He currently possessed a combat power of roughly 50,000, yet he had been defeated just like that!

Just what was Ausbie's combat power?

Thinking of this, Bardock couldn't help but tremble; were high-class warriors really this powerful and this willful?

Bardock glared at Ausbie like a disgruntled wife.

"Hee hee!" Ausbie helped Bardock up and gave a silly smile.

Seeing her innocent expression, Bardock truly had nowhere to vent his anger. He couldn't exactly say, "Little girl, be a good kid and let me beat you up so I can vent!"

He didn't have the face for that, and looking at her simple demeanor, he couldn't bring himself to do it anyway.

"Let's go!" Bardock spat out more sand and said helplessly.

In the valley.

A small river flowed slowly, and with a "swish," two figures appeared in front of a small wooden cabin beneath a towering tree.

Ausbie had used Instant Transmission to bring Bardock back to the cabin.

"Captain's back!"

Garis saw the two figures suddenly appear and smiled, "Captain, which one of you won?"

Bardock: "..."

Garis hadn't actually said anything, but Bardock felt like the kid was mocking him.

He couldn't beat Kasso or Ausbie, but surely he could handle this kid?

Bardock said coldly, "Garis, I don't think your training today was enough. Go and do 10 more sets using Kasso's training method."

"Huh?"

"Huh what? Do twenty more. If you don't finish, I'll..."

Before Bardock could finish, Garis vanished from their sight without even looking back.

As he left, he was still grumbling under his breath.

Listening to their exchange, Ausbie couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

"Gine, where is that kid Kasso?" Bardock walked into the house and saw Gine preparing lunch.

Gine was busy with her work and didn't even look up, "I don't know!"

Bardock nodded; it wasn't the first or second time that kid had disappeared.

The Saiyan people just needed to make good use of the Gravity Chamber and Senzu Bean for training; they shouldn't worry about things outside in the universe for now. Besides, Frieza's forces were still hunting down the survivors of Planet Vegeta!

If they went out into the universe carelessly and let Frieza's forces discover that there were over 150 remnants left on Planet Sadala, the Saiyans would be plunged back into war.

Bardock did not want to see such a situation unfold, but since Kasso possessed the elusive Instant Transmission, he had no need to worry.

"Lunch is ready!" Gine cleared the table and called for the two of them to come and eat.

"Alright."

The large man and the little girl sat by the table, waiting quietly for Gine to bring the food over.

"Little Biel, you..."

Before Bardock could finish his sentence, he was inexplicably interrupted by Ausbie, who said sternly, "Uncle Bardock, don't speak for a moment."

As her voice fell, the small wooden house suddenly turned cold, and Ausbie's icy tone made Bardock's heart give a sharp jolt.

What was happening?

Gine was still preparing things in the kitchen, and no one spoke in the small outer hall.

As time passed, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Bardock didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Ausbie furrowed her brows: "Someone has broken into Planet Sadala!"

"What?" Bardock stood up in a panic; could it be that Frieza's forces had tracked them down?

After the great explosion of Planet Vegeta, Frieza knew there were many Saiyan who hadn't made it back, and for these stragglers, he adopted a policy of extermination—though, of course, he naturally spared the main protagonists like Goku and Vegeta!

Precisely because of this, Bardock was extremely nervous; he feared that Planet Sadala had been discovered by Frieza.

"There is no mistake!"

Ausbie said with absolute certainty.

Since the Saiyan no longer had scouters, it was understandable that Bardock could not detect the movements of others.

But relying on her sensing of ki, Ausbie could perceive two distinct "ki" signatures descending rapidly over Planet Sadala.

One was ahead of the other, and the "ki" behind was stronger than the one in front, looking as if it were chasing the former.

"Little Biel, take me to their landing site, quickly!" Bardock's face was twisted, his heart filled with extreme anxiety.

He wanted to reach the scene as fast as possible; if the intruders truly belonged to Frieza's forces, he had to find a way to get the Saiyan off this planet immediately!

Otherwise, it would be all over once Frieza arrived!

"Uncle Bardock, relax. Their strength isn't high; any one of our clansmen could defeat them."

In Ausbie's perception, both of those ki signatures were composed of a dozen smaller energies, but they were relatively weak, with the highest being only 5,000 in combat power.

The Saiyan had been training in the Gravity Chamber for two months; while not every Saiyan was a protagonist like Goku who could jump from 8,000 to 90,000 combat power in a month, they had still improved significantly.

According to Ausbie's understanding, apart from the few dozen logistics-focused Saiyan, the current minimum combat power of the Saiyan was over 6,000—this, of course, included the female Saiyan as well.

Therefore, there was absolutely no need to worry about these "guests" from beyond.

"Little Biel, I'm not worried about that trash; I'm worried that they will expose the location of our Saiyan!" Seeing that Ausbie still hadn't moved, Bardock became even more anxious.

Hearing this, Ausbie suddenly realized the gravity of the situation, and her body couldn't help but shiver.

"Uncle Bardock, let's go!"

Ausbie quickly placed her hand on Bardock and activated Instant Transmission.
