Kaioshin soared through the air so fast the landscape was literally destroyed in his wake, being swept up behind him and carried along.
Within seconds he landed softly before Friezas spaceship, everything else smashing down around his body nearly a twenty seconds later.
Ginyu paused in his watch over the dragonballs and turned towards the purple skinned alien. "Whoa... where did YOU come from?" he demanded, eying the other suspiciously.
Casually switching on his scouter he watched the numbers rise rapidly. "120'000... 140'000... 170'000... 200'000... 230'000... 260'000... 300'000..." Ginyus voice dropped lower and lower as the numbers just kept on rising, his pupils enlarging to the size of saucer plates.
"400'00... 470'000.... 530'000..." with a crack the scouter could no longer read the power and, despite the best technology in this galaxy being used to make this latest of scouters. it self-destructed.
Spraying metal and plastic all across his left side, Ginyu flinched from the explosion. "You're one of the soul switching races." Kaioshin stated, watching Ginyu. "Or perhaps you prefer to call it body exchanging." he added.
Ginyu blinked in surprise and terror. This strange being not only had a powerlevel at least equal with his master Frieza, but he too knew of Ginyus secret technique! This was a nightmare.
"No response? I should suppose not. Are you afraid because your scouter reads me as strong as Frieza himself? Because if so... " Kaioshin vanished and reappeared directly before Ginyu. "It would be wise of you to not believe everything you read." For only an instant, Kaioshin raises his Ki to maximum. One single instant, enough to give Ginyu a feel for just how outmatched he truly was.
The power crushed Ginyu down into the ground, not to mention causing Namek itself to begin shaking violently.
Then things calmed down again and Ginyu could only stare horrorfied at the behemoth figure standing calmly across from him. "w...w...w-what..." he attempted to ask. "Leave now and I will spare your life. You may yet be helpful in the decade to come." Kaioshin stated.
"But if you dare return to this life style... to rebuild Friezas empire... nothing will prevent your eradication." he threatened softly.
Turning away Kaioshins eyes narrowed and he vanished again, having felt Friezas ki some distance away.
Goku himself arrived nearly a minute later. His face held a restrained look of awe. 'That... was the power of a Supreme Kai?' he questioned quietly to himself. 'He's right. I could never leave a scratch on him as I am.' he frowned at this then noticed Ginyu, halfway embedded in the ground and staring horrified at a blank section of air.
The full blooded saiyan dropped to the ground and walked up to him. "So, who are you?" he questioned. Ginyu didn't respond. He was paralyzed. The intense aura rolling off of the Supreme Kai had broken something in his body, rendering him unable to escape from this spot, or even show signs of life.
He was as good as dead. Goku looked at him and felt the weakness of his Ki. With a sigh he dug into the senzu bean bag he carried and noticed he had half a bean left. "Come on, open up." he said, pushing it into Ginyus mouth and helping him to swallow.
Ginyu blinked his eyes, then pushed out of the ground, looking at Goku as though seeing him for the first time.
"W.. who're you?" he asked. "Son Goku, a saiyan raised on earth. I came here to use those dragonballs behind you." Goku responded. Ginyu slowly looked over one shoulder and remembered the figures words.
"Take them. I don't care what Frieza wants now, I'm not about to be slain to follow that tyrants orders!" Ginyu responded. Goku raised an eyebrow. "Frieza was supposed to be the most powerful in the universe... but I know thats not true anymore. My life was spared, and I'm taking the second chance." Ginyu answered, looking off in the direction Frieza had vanished to.
Goku smiled. "Thats good to hear." he said. "Do you have anywhere to go home to?" he asked. Ginyu frowned now. "Now that you mention that... no." he answered. "Well... when this is all over... why don't you come with us back to earth?" Goku questioned.
Ginyu paused, considering it. "How strong are you, anyhow?" Goku asked all of a sudden. Ginyu smiled thinly back. "Far more so than you, Saiyan." Goku grinned back at him. "I don't know about that. I did some pretty wicked training on the way over."
-zzzzzzzzzzzzz-
By this point, kaioshin had arrived outside of the Great Elders. Nail and Frieza were trading blows. Neither seemed to be aware of the Supreme Kai watching them from above.
'Enough of this. The Namekians have had a terrible life, and I will not stand by and watch this one die as well.' dropping from the ground he landed directly between the two fighters, facing Frieza, and caught the tyrants next punch in his own fist.
"Wha--? Where did YOU come from?" Frieza exclaimed, startled by the sudden appearance. Kaioshin clenched down on Friezas hand, crushing it in his grasp slowly, much to the others agony.
"How does it feel, Frieza, when YOU are the one outclassed to such a degree? Tell me, is it pleasant?" he demanded harshly. "Guh!" with a shout of pain Frieza pulled back with all of his might, ripping his wrist free of the hand connected to it in the same manner that Nail had lost his own arm just minutes before.
Turning from Frieza for the moment, Supreme Kai dropped his ruined hand to the ground, ignoring the low growl of pain the tyrant was giving as his purple blood leaked from the hand.
Nail watched all of this with awe, but took a step back as the kaioshin raised both of his hands. "Relax, Nail, lone warrior of warrior namekians your planet has to offer. You will be healed." a white glow overcame the startled namekian, but when it settled moments later, he was back to full strength and then some.
"Go, now, Nail. Wish your elder to youth again so he may rebuild your race once more. The dragonballs await you many miles east of here." he commanded. "Who... are you?" Nail asked seriously.
Turning to face Frieza, he responded. "A Kaioshin, Supreme Kai, watcher of the four quadrants universe from Heaven. The time has come for Divine Intervention." he stated seriously. With that he appeared before Frieza and kicked him in the head, sending the Tyrant reeling backwards to crash through half a mile of land.
Vanishing as he followed Supreme Kai reappeared and picked Frieza up by the front of his helmet. "You are a threat to all life in this galaxy." he said flatly. "But there exists a threat that no force in Heaven or the living realm can defeat. I've realised a misjudgement on my part." with a white glow washing over the tyrants body, restoring him to full health, the two were gone again, heading for Son Goku and the others.
-zzzzzzzzzzzzz-
Narrator: What misjudgement is this that the Supreme Kai spoke of? Why has he restored Frieza to full health? And what might this greater threat he spoke up be? Will Ginyu agree to come to earth? Find out next time, on DBZ: Divine Intervention, airing semi-weekly on Dragonball General!
