Coola didn't have much time to feel impressed or shocked by Goku releasing himself from his prison, for, next
moment, a punch of tremendous force, even by the galactic tyrant's standards, sends him being launched
far away. Before his course stops, Goku appears above him and presses his guts with his foot, locking him
with his back on the ground. The lying Coola is now trying to stand up, but Gok's boot is pressing him too
hard. Still on the 20fold kaioken aura and his muscles somewhat buffed, Goku channels all his chi to his foot,
being the chi control master he is. The Icer feels his chest bones about to crash under this deadly pressure.
For the first time since this battle began...nah, for the first time in his life, Coola starts doubting about his
victory, even about his survival.
-''Wh-what is this? How did he get this power all of sudden?'' the villain thinks. ''It exceeds even my current
form's half power!''
In the meantime, Goku can feel his muscles burning, begging him to let them loose. He realizes he won't be
able to hold the, devastating for his body, 20fold kaioken for long. He takes his boot off Coola, grabs his
tail and throws him high. Immediately after that, he cups his hands and fires his signature move, enhanced
by the 20fold kaioken's destructive power. Coola manages to correct himself in the air and sees the huge
wave coming. Even though he can't sense chi, he can tell that, if that hits him the way he's now, there's a
good chance he won't make it. He takes a defensive stance and raises his power to his 4th form's 70%,
just in time to reduce the damage, but he still really felt that attack!
Having nothing left at all, the panting and drained Goku is now waiting for the smoke to go away, so that
he can see his attack's aftermath. He's begging for Coola to have got killed. To his disappointment and
horror, the foe's still there floating. He's obviously taken damage, but he can still fight, as opposed to Goku.
Meanwhile, the floating Coola is contemplating:
-''I haven't shown even three quarters of my original form's power yet. But, no, i won't make the stupid
mistake of inflating my muscles. This proves too draining in the long run. My worthless brother never
realized this drawback; that cost him a lot of duels against me or our dad. Besides, i have a far more
effecitve and less draining way of increasing my power''.
-''What is he doing? Why isn't he coming at me?'' Goku thinks in the meantime.
Finally, Coola decides to land. He smiles.
-''Consider yourself honored, Saiyan'' he says. ''This is the first time i have to show this form. I'm the first
Icer ever to have achieved this newly discovered state''.
-''What the...'' Goku says as he watches Coola transforming into his godly 5th form. When the
transformation is complete, the pure hearted Saiyan gets horrified. He has never seen such power before.
If Coola had been on Namek, even as a Super Saiyan, Goku would have been dead meat. All the damage
Coola had taken has been healed too.
-''Mhahaha, i have finally surpassed my brother and father. I have surpassed every Icer that has ever lived.
Every living thing that has ever existed. I'm going to rule the universe. I'm going to kill the Super Saiyan''
Coola says, sounding like a madman.
-''I-it's so hoepless that it's funny'' Goku mumbles, laughing out of desperation. ''It's not only his power that
has changed. As he was before, i could sense a shred of good in his evil heart. But, now, he's lost even
that, he's almost gone insane. I'm gonna die. I'm really gonna die and the universe will suffer under this
miserable creature''.
In the Yardrat palace, Soba is walking around the room. If the situation wasn't so serious, we would be able
to see a trench having been gagly dug by the Yardrat elite's excessive walking in the room. Sushi is just
watching at his superior, sitting on a chair. Finally, he snaps.
-''I can't sit here anymore'' he yells.
-''What the...'' Soba turns and looks at him.
-''Can't you sense it?'' Sushi continues. ''Goku's chi has shrunk, whereas that creep's chi has exploded. We
can't sit here and pretend everything will be fine when it is obvious Goku is about to die. If he dies, it will be
the turn of us and all the residents of this planet''.
-''You mean you want to go there?'' Soba cries. ''You are as dangerous to that evil guy as dangerous a
goldfish is to a whale''.
-''Since our deaths are approaching, i might as well do something'' Sushi insists. ''I'll try beating him with my
damage swaping ability''.
Soba laughs in desperation.
-''You know it won't work on that guy. He'll turn you into ashes before you can bat an eye'' he says.
-''I don't care'' Sushi yells and flies out of the window.
Soba remains silent and contemplating, until he starts feeling ashamed for himself. How can he consider
himself the elite of the elites on his planet, the protector of his race, when he chickens out and lets his
arch henchman go alone? No, he won't accept this! He flies out of the window too.
Goku is lying on the ground, while Coola is pressing the Saiyan's neck with his foot. Goku feels his neck
about to snap. Suddenly, two blasts explode on the tyrant's back. They came from the two top Yardrat
warriors. Soba and Sushi put everything they had in those blasts. Yet, what Coola felt by them is what you
feel when, in bed, your girlfriend gently caresses your back. The angry Coola turns around.
-''Here's your penicillin, you dirty bacterias'' he yells in madness and fires two lasers from his eyes, which
explode in front of the two Yardrat warriors, the explosion totally annihilating their bodies. When Goku feels
his two friends' chis gone, he feels anger.
-''I'm angry. I really am'' he thinks. ''But i still can't become a Super Saiyan. I'm not absolutely exasperated,
as i was back then''.
Goku feels shame and resentment for himself. Obviously, Krillin was a person he was much more bonded
with than people he has known for less than one year. But, still, their deaths are as important as anybody
elses death. Yet, Goku can't feel the same anger for their deaths as he felt for his best friend's death. He
wishes he could, but he can't. That's why he's now hating himself as he has never before.
His thoughts are interrupted by Coola who grabs his body with his one hand and lifts him. Coola's palm has
now totally covered Goku's face, preventing him from breathing. Goku feels the lack of air burning his lungs,
but he has no strength left to even make the slightest attempt to escape. Soon, he passes out.
-''Har, har, inferior beings. You can't even survive without oxygen. Your weakness disgusts me'' Coola
comments, even though he knows nobody can hear him. He keeps holding Goku at that position, waiting till
he's sure he's died of asphyxation.
Meanwhile, the fainted Goku has a dream. He's in a blank space. He's standing in front of a person that
looks familiar. Actually, he's more than familiar. His appearance is almost identical to Goku's plus he has a
corss shaped scar on his left cheek. He's wearing the uniform of Freeza's army.
-''Wh-who are you?'' a dumbfounded Goku asks.
-''It doesn't matter who i am'' the warrior answers. ''I'm here to help you''.
-''Wait, you're a Saiyan'' Goku realizes. ''I hate your kind, i don't want anything from you. Get lost''.
-''I won't try to make excuses'' Goku's twin sighs. ''Us Saiyans have commited despicable crimes. Nobody
can blame you for hating us. I wish i had seen the light earlier, before it was too late, before i was about
to die. But, it doesn't matter now. Please, listen to me, for the whole universe depends on you. Real power
doesn't come from anger. It comes from the calmness in the heart''.
-''Wha...what do you mean?'' Goku asks, but, before he can get an answer, he feels the dream fading, he
feels waking up.
Coola is surprised to see the almost dead of asphyxation Goku opening his eyes. His expression is now
neither anger nor horror. It's absolute peace! An explosion follows that knocks Coola away, forcing the
tyrant's back on the ground. When Coola stands up, he's shocked to see Goku standing up, surrounded in
a yellow light, his hair having turned blonde.
-''So that's what turns you into a Super Saiyan'' Goku thinks. ''Not blind wrath itself, but the balance
between ferocity and inner peace. Thanks Saiyan guy for helping me earn that hard balance. I think i just
made the wondrous Super Saiyan power my permanent possession''.
