Author's Note
I'd like to thank everyone who had a hand in creating Breaking Bad. First off, there's TUK, who's work on Dragon Ball Z: After Years and Bardock: The Legend helped shape this novel. To Nimbus, who's The Terror Of the Androids was actually the first fanfic I've comented on.

And finally, to the people of RvB Fanon, who praised my work on RvB In a Boat, which I continue to update to this day. Welcome to the screwed up, messed around, twisted, and awesome universe of Breaking Bad.

Themes
The theme is Sooner or Later by Breaking Benjamin

Complete Dialog
I started writing this one novel,

and it was going pretty well.

But then my brother read it,

and pointed out,

that characters were introduced without explanation.

I must have had the story you're reading right now,

in the back of my head the whole time.

Huh.

Burning (Prologue)
''[Shot of a night sky, with smoke coming slowly up from a flickering firey area only a few miles away from the camera. Changes to a shot of reddish boots running. Finally changes to a shot of a young man with sticking up black hair and wearing a combat gi running towards the burning house.]''

Young Man: Dad! Gohan! Goten! Mom!

''[Words: "Directed by Zeon1" flash across the screen, then returns to the normal area. The young man runs up to Goku, wearing a burned Gi, crouching around the bodies of the Son family. A closeup of his face reveals that he is crying. The young man runs up to him and crouches down, his face a mask of pain.]''

Young Man: Dad! W-who did this?

Goku: [Still looking down.] R-rigor... it was a Saiyan... one named Pacifier... he.. he came to Earth.. looking for the Dragon Balls... I tried to stop him, but he retreated and... did this...

Rigor: [Fists clench.] Tell me where he is! I'll take care of him...

Goku: You can't but... I don't think I can stop you.. not with who your father is...

Rigor: What? Aren't you my dad?

Goku: No. After I defeated Buu, I went searching for remmants of events that had occured while I was in Other World. I located the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly's space pod that he came to Earth in, and I entered it. I found a baby there, crying. I-I thought I could raise him to be unlike his father. To be a good person. That baby... was you..

[Screen goes black, and the words "Dragon Ball: Breaking Bad" appear on the screen.]

First Fights
''[Opens with a scene of the area near the Cell Games arena. The camera is suddenly obscured by Rigor, who is flying quickly towards the area. Closeup of Rigor's face, in a serious expression.]''

Rigor (thoughts): Dad said that the place he confronted Pacifier was near this area. I'm betting that he'll at least leave a minion behind.

''[Rigor catches sight of a large statue of Hercule near the arena and faintly smalls, reminicing the fight with Cell, as told by Goku and Gohan (with occasional commentary by Vegeta, emphasising how well he was doing with Semi-Perfect Cell). Finally, he snaps out of his memories (or memories OF memories, but whatever), and lands down near the arena.]''

''[He stands there for a minute, looking around, sensing for Ki. Finally, he faintly starts as a pair of boots land just behind him.]''

Faintly Russian Voice: Are you looking for Pacifier?

''[Rigor turns, and standing before him is a alien wearing a simple white gi. His skin is red, and he has reptitilian eyes. He has a crop of blue hair on his head, and a good bit of muscles. Rigor looks at him for a minute. Cue battle music.]''

Rigor: Yeah, I am. Do you know where he is?

Alien: Like I would tell you. Call me Jarek.

Rigor: [Nods] Rigor.

Jarek: Now, leave. There is nothing here for you.

Rigor: Sorry, but I'm not leaving until you tell me where Pacifier is.

Jarek: Then I guess I'll have to kill you.

Rigor: You can try.

''[The two stare at each other for a minute, and they both enter fighting stances. The wind blows for a few moments.]''

''[Rigor lunges forward, launching a powerful punch. Jarek easily sidesteps it, and with Rigor off balance, bring his fist into Rigor's chest. Rigor coughs up blood, and Jarek knees him in the chin, sending Rigor toppling down to the ground.]''

''[Rigor does a little bouncy thing, and ends up back on his feet. He quickly begins forming a Playful Kamehameha, but Jarek quickly jumps over and pins Rigor's arms behind his back. Jarek then launches them into the air, and quickly brings them back down. He lets go of Rigor, sending him toppling to the ground.]''

Jarek: [Straightens in midair] Still alive, Rigor? I'd hate to have an opponent go out so quickly.

''[A large energy beam shoots up, knocking Jarek off balance. Rigor appears above him, bringing his hands down, sending Jarek towards the floor. Jarek quickly rights himself, and shoots back up, landing a double punch in Rigor's abdomen, making the Saiyan gasp.]''

''[Rigor than seperates from the group and starts flying quickly away, hoping to make a escape. Jarek easily follows him, appears in front of him, and slams his head into Rigor's. Rigor pulls back, his face bloody. He then puts on speed again, and this time, Jarek lets him go, but does send a few Ki blasts into Rigor's back, making him bleed from there.]''

''[Rigor keeps flying, over a small mountain range. However, he is descending fast. He finally hits the ground, coughing out blood. He skids, leaving a large dirt trail, and finally comes to rest.]''

[Camera switches to Rigor's point of view, as things rapidly go black, he sees a pair of green hands reach out to grab him.]

The Namekian's Aid
''[Begin with a shot of a cave, dark except for a few candles that light it. Rigor lies in a corner, looking completey fine, and covered in a blanket. He slowly wakes up, pulling the blanket off of him.]''

Rigor: W-what?

Unknown Voice: You should be thinking me.

[Camera slowly pans out, revealing a well-muscled Namekian sitting in front of a small fire, roasting what appears to be quail, obviously cooked for Rigor's benefit.]

Rigor: [Slowly stands up and rubs eyes.] What happened? Why am I here?

Namekian: Call me Barren. The monster who did that to you is gone, back in the arena. I healed you, saved yor life.

Rigor: What's a Namekian doing on Earth? Don't see many of your kind here.

Namekian: That's a long story... but I have time. Basically, following the restoration of our homeworld by the Dragon Balls, Earth became a sort of promised land for all wandering Namekians. My son left one day, to see Earth for himself. When he arrived, I followed, only to find him dead... by the one who injured you. Since my ship and my son's were destroyed by him, I've been stuck here, waiting for some one to come and help me kill him, so I can steal his ship.

Another Unknown Voice: You didn't tell him about me, Barren.

''[A Saiyan steps out of the shadows, or at least a Saiyan-look-a-like. He has almost Vegeta-like hair, but has blue eyes and more smile lines around his mouth.]''

Barren: This is Razen. He helped my son get to Earth and is stuck here with me.

Razen: Nice to meet you.

Rigor: And you.

''[The two shake hands. As the group sits around and eats the finished cooking, Rigor quickly explains the situation.]''

Barren: Huh.. looks like our interests coincide. You want to kill him, we want to kill him. You want his ship, we want his ship. ''[Looks at Razen, who nods]. ''We'll work with you, for now. But once you've killed this Pacifier, we're heading back to Namek.

Rigor: Sounds good to me. And I could use some company.

''[Cuts to a brief training montage, with Rigor and Razen sparring against each other with Barren serving as battlefield medic. The first few scenes show Rigor being easily trounced, but as time passes, Rigor gets better and better, and finally knocks Razen out with a punch. The end scene shows Rigor smiling.]''

Double Team
''[Opens with Barren, Razen, and Rigor standing a few miles from the Cell Games Arena. Barren is quickly healing any wounds from their sparring sessions. He finally takes a step back.]''

Barren: There, I've healed you.

Rigor: Thanks!

Razen: I am most grateful. [Blue eyes flash]

[Razen and Rigor turn to walk towards the arena, but Barren grabs Rigor's shoulder.]

Barren: Wait... there's something I wanted to give you before you left to fight.

''[A new aura surrounds Rigor, and his power spikes dramatically, so dramatically that Jarek, in the arena, starts. Rigor then thanks Barren, and he and Razen fly quickly over to Jarek's location. He is waiting for them, standing in the middle of the arena as they land.]''

Jarek: Well, look who's here. And you've brought a friend, I see.

Rigor: The game ends here, Jarek. You're going to tell us where Pacifier is, and then let us have your ship!

Jarek: [Laughs] Are you threatining me? After the beating I gave you?

Rigor: I've gotten a bit stronger since then.

Jarek: So you were the one who's power rose a bit ago. No matter. I can easily take both of- OOH!

''[Rigor has appeared behind Jarek, kicking him in the back, sending him toppling to the ground. Jarek quickly leaps to his feat.]''

Jarek: [Wipes blood out of corner of his mouth] Playing dirty, then? Good! I need a- GAAH!

''[Razen has appeared in front of him, backhanding him and sending him to the ground again. This time when Jarek leaps up, he fires a brief Ki blast in Razen's face, sending him reeling back. Rigor charges forward, and he and Jarek exchange some blows.]''

Jarek: Looks like you've.... gotten... GAAH!.... a bit stronger.

Rigor: It's over.

''[Rigor smashes Jarek's face, and Jarek aims a kick at his abdomen, which Rigor doges. The Saiyan then grips Jarek's jaw and sends him crashing to the ground. Rigor drags him along for a bit, then finally lets go, sending him towards Razen, who fires a large blast, engulfing Jarek.]''

''[Jarek bursts out of the rubble, powering up and screaming. He shoots out his foot, catching Razen in the stomach and sending him down. He then teleports in front of Rigor and smashes his face. Rigor topples back, and Jarek grabs him by the shirt, lifting him up.]''

Jarek: Now that playtime's over, I suggest you give up. Before I kill your friends over there.

Rigor: N-n-NO!

''[He lets out a cry, his aura turning brilliant gold, and sends Jarek a step back. Rigor falls to the ground, sparks crackling over his body, his aura golden. His hair and eyes remain normal, however. Jarek takes a step back, then regains his composure.]''

Jarek: Stupid monkey!

''[He takes a swing at Rigor, but Rigor ducks the blow. As Jarek leans forward, carried by the momentum of his punch, there is a tearing sound and his face is frozen in shock. The camera zooms out, showing Rigor's sparking fist protruding from Jarek's back.]''

Jarek: N-no way...

''[As Jarek slumps, Rigor pulls his fist out, the sparks and aura dissapearing. Jarek falls to the floor, with Barren and a healed Razen running up to him. Rigor leans down and picks up Jarek.]''

Rigor: Pacifier, where?!

Jarek: [Terrified] T-the ruins... Planet Veget... [Coughs up some blood.] ..a.

Razen: And your ship?

Jarek: I-i-in the next... clllear-ring... How... did you get so....? [Slumps down, dead.]

''[Rigor drops Jarek's body on the floor. He takes a step back, looks up at the others. Toghether, they look towards the next clearing, clearly visible.]''
