Chapter 4: Ultimate Form
Both Frieza and Frost began powering up for their ultimate transformation. Piccolo managed to weakly get up and crawl away.
"Hurry up, there isn't much time," Vegeta yelled at Krillin. "What are you a coward."
Krillin responded by blasting Vegeta with a powerful Ki blast which Vegeta did nothing to defend against. From out of the corner of her eye, Frost noticed this and kept her eye on Vegeta as he fell to the ground but continued with her transformation.
The ground around Frieza and Frost began to crack and split open and they then began to glow a reddish-pink. Strange cracks began appearing over their bodies as if they were eggs and something was trying to hatch from inside them. From the corner of her eye Frost noticed Dende heal Vegeta and she laughed to herself. All of a sudden the glow on both of them became brighter and the cracks shattered. There was a brilliant white flash of light and the entire island they were standing on was engulfed.
On a nearby Island the four warriors regrouped. Dende healed Piccolo and then hid once more. They then looked at the other island as the smoke cleared. Two figures emerged from the smoke. They were both shorter than the third form had been. Frieza was slightly shorter than Piccolo and Frost was a bit shorter than Frieza was. Frieza's body was pure white with purple with purple spots on his head, shoulders, forearms, abdomen and shins. Frost was pink with magenta spots in the exact same places and she had the semblance of breasts.
Both Krillin and Gohan were quaking in their boots. They could feel the power radiating from the two Icejins. Piccolo likewise could sense their power but he put up a brave front not showing his fear. Frost raised her hand and pointed a single finger at the group.
"Bang," Frost said a smile.
Her death beam flew towards the four warriors who all just stood there to startled to move. But it didn't strike them, instead it flew past them and exploded.
"What the?" Vegeta exclaimed turning around.
The smoke from the explosion finally cleared and they saw the dead body of Dende lying on the ground.
"That takes care of the problem of how you keep coming back," Frost said. "Now we can finish this once and for all."
"No!" Gohan cried out his rage building. "You bitch!"
Gohan's power level soared like never before and he charge at Frost. He reached her and began hitting her with rapid-fire punches and kicks, but Frost just stood there and took them complete unfazed.
"Are you quite done?" Frost asked. "Because I would really like to get this over with."
Gohan paused for a moment to look her in the eye and she responded by backhanding him in the face sending him flying all the way back to where Krillin, Piccolo and Vegeta were.
Vegeta then bravely stepped forward while Piccolo and Krillin checked on Gohan.
"It doesn't matter anymore," Vegeta said. "Because now I have truly become a Super Saiyan."
Both Frieza and Frost looked at each other and started laughing.
"Forgive of us for not running away like cowards, Super Saiyan," Frieza said mockingly.
"You don't believe me? Then I'll just wipe those grins off your faces." Vegeta said.
Vegeta braced himself and then began powering up. Even Krillin, Piccolo and Gohan were startled by the massive spike in power. Lightning began flickering around Vegeta and the ground began shaking. Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan flew up into the air to avoid the shaking. However Frost and Frieza just watched an impassive look on their faces. As Vegeta neared the end of powering up he was glowing so bright with energy it was almost as blinding as a Solar Flare. When the light finally died away Frieza stepped forward and stared down Vegeta.
"That was certainly a surprising display power," Frieza said.
"I was just warming up," Vegeta stated. "If you had one of your scouters you'd realize that you should tuck your tail between your legs and run off like a frightened dog!"
Frieza just smiled.
"No matter, a Saiyan loves a good fight," Vegeta said. "And this time I will be the winner."
Vegeta leapt at Frieza trying to strike him in the head, but Frieza teleported out of the way at the last minute causing Vegeta to stumble on by due to his momentum. Vegeta then charged at Frieza again and this time Frieza just stepped aside and Vegeta drove his fist into the side of steep hill. Vegeta then threw hundreds of rapid punches at Frieza, but Frieza easily dodged them all effortlessly as he barely seemed to move. Vegeta and Frieza took their fight into the air but Vegeta fared no better. He then tried to drive both his fists down onto Frieza's head but once more Frieza teleported away at the last second. Vegeta looked around confused as he couldn't see Frieza anywhere.
"This isn't possible," Vegeta muttered to himself. "No one can move like this."
Finally Vegeta sensed Frieza's Ki and he turned to see Frieza waiting on the ground for him.
"Well it looks like you're not that Super after all," Frieza mocked.
From their vantage point, Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo watched in shock.
"Are you three forgetting about someone?" Frost called out.
The three of them turned to see Frost standing over Dende's corpse.
"Are you not going to bury his corpse? Well I'll take care of it for you then," Frost said.
With that she charged up a Ki blast and vaporized Dende's dead body.
"I hope you don't mind that I decided to clean up the mess I made," Frost said with a chuckle.
"How dare you," Piccolo snarled.
"Oh, did I strike a nerve, you seem rather angry," Frost said, sarcasm literally dripping in her tone. "The little boy seems particularly upset."
Gohan roared with rage and leapt into the air and tried to punch Frost in the head, but she easily ducked out of the way and Gohan's momentum carried him by. Krillin came in almost immediately after with a leaping kick at Frost's head but she leaned back and Krillin went soaring overhead. Piccolo then tried his luck with a powerful chop but again Frost was able to avoid his attack without seeming to even try.
The three of them then all tried attack Frost at the same time. They all threw hundreds of punches and kicks but Frost was somehow able to avoid all of them, all while seeming to stand still. Eventually Piccolo got frustrated and leapt into the air. He charged up a Masenko and fired it at Frost who was still avoid Gohan and Krillin's attacks. Gohan and Krillin got out of the way in plenty of time but Frost just stood there looking up with amusement at Piccolo's attack. The attack hit the ground and exploded, but mere moments later Frost emerged up into the air from the smoke.
Krillin and Gohan both charged up energy attacks of their own and fired them at Frost who again just seemed to let the attacks hit her. The attacks exploded in midair and they all looked to see if Frost had been hit. When the light and smoke cleared there was nothing in the air.
"Did we vaporize her?" Gohan wondered aloud.
"I'm not sure," Krillin said.
"Behind you!" Piccolo called out.
Gohan and Krillin turned around to see Frost standing behind them. She smiled and the fired a death beam at Gohan. At the last second Piccolo knocked Gohan to the ground with one of his extended limbs. Frost's death beam flew past and hit an island off in the distance. They all watched as the entire island exploded as if a Nuclear Bomb had just gone off and fell into the Namekian Sea. Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo were all frightened by the display of power, but Frost just smiled; amused by all the destruction she had just caused.
"Why don't you just face it Vegeta, your attempts to defeat me are in vain," Frieza said. "You keep going on about being a Super Saiyan, but just face it that's just myth."
"You're wrong!" Vegeta shouted as he powered up once more.
Vegeta then fired a massive energy blast down at Frieza. Frieza just stood impassively watching as it came towards him, arms folded across his chest, then at the last possible moment he moved out of the way as the attack struck the ground causing a massive explosion. Vegeta saw Frieza escape from the explosion and fired another blast at him, but Frieza flew out of the way just in time again. Vegeta unleashed a massive barrage of energy attacks at Frieza but all of them missed as Frieza was always just ahead of the blast. The sky was lit up from all of the explosions.
Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan and even Frost turned to see what was going on between Frieza and Vegeta.
"Vegeta is putting on an impressive fireworks display," Frost said. "But none of that can harm my husband."
Angered Vegeta unleashed energy blasts in every direction. Piccolo grabbed Gohan and Krillin and flew off to avoid the blasts. Frost watched impassively and then got out of the way herself just before getting caught in the blast. Frieza meanwhile continued to frustrate Vegeta avoiding the attack at the last second. Eventually Frieza tired of avoid Vegeta's attacks and teleported to be right in front of Vegeta.
Vegeta stared at Frieza, completely startled at first but then he gathered himself and flew up into the air and fired a planet destroying level Galick Gun. Frieza coolly watched the massive purple energy blast fly towards him. A few seconds before getting struck Frieza jumped up into the air and with a single kick sent the massive blast flying back towards Vegeta. Vegeta just barely got out of the way of his own attack and he watched flying out into space where it exploded and lit up the sky as if a supernova had gone off.
Vegeta just floated in the air, his energy drained and his moral incredibly low.
"I'm done playing with you," Frieza said. "You've seen what one percent of my power is like, now let me show you two percent."
Frieza then flew at Vegeta who didn't know what to do. Frieza drove his smooth round head into Vegeta's chest sending Vegeta tumbling through the air. Frieza caught up to him and then slapped Vegeta down towards the ground with his tail. Vegeta hit the water and sank beneath the waves. Frieza hovered over the spot where Vegeta had gone in the water, waiting to see if Vegeta emerged. When he didn't Frieza raised his arms and parted the water like Moses had parted the Red Sea. Vegeta lay on the sea floor unmoving as Frieza then floated down towards him. Frieza grabbed Vegeta by the hair and picked him up.
"I have to say I'm disappointed Vegeta," Frieza said. "I thought a Super Saiyan would at least be able to handle two percent of my power."
Frieza then punched Vegeta in the lower back causing him to cry out.
"Oh did that hurt?" Frieza asked. "I must have missed."
Frieza punched Vegeta again and this time Vegeta felt his legs go weak under him. He then fell to the ground as Frieza let go of his hair. Frieza then kicked Vegeta up into the air, he then drove several elbows into Vegeta's stomach and chest before finally hitting him hard enough send Vegeta crashing down into the ground right in front of Krillin, Gohan and Piccolo who all stared in fright at Vegeta's beaten and bruised body.
Frieza then appeared in front of them and Gohan and Krillin hid behind Piccolo. Frieza glared at them for a moment and then turned to Vegeta, he then wrapped his tail around Vegeta's neck and picked him up off the ground. Frieza then had some more fun as he used Vegeta as a punching bag. The others just watched too frightened to do anything as Frieza literally beat Vegeta to death.
Frieza finally grew tired to beating on Vegeta and threw him into the side of a cliff. Frieza then walked over and stood over Vegeta's prone form yet again. Frieza grabbed Vegeta by the collar and lifted him up once more.
"Because I liked you Vegeta, I'll make this quick," Frieza said.
Just as Frieza was about to deliver the killing blow somebody arrived. Everyone turned to see Goku.
"Hey guys!" Goku greeted them cheerfully.
"I'm glad to see you guys are alright, but just leave the rest to me," Goku said.
"Did you take a massive blow to the head?" Piccolo asked. "It's going to take everything we have and possibly more to beat them."
"I'm fine," Goku said.
Goku calmly walked towards Frieza who dropped Vegeta back to the ground.
"So you're Frieza. But who is that?" Goku asked pointing at Frost.
"That is my wife Frost," Frieza replied. "And you will address her with respect."
"Whatever problems you have with Vegeta, you can take them up with me now," Goku said.
Frieza stared at Goku as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Kakarrot you fool," Vegeta groaned from on the ground.
"Kakarrot? But that's a Saiyan name," Frieza said.
He looked back at Goku and suddenly recognized who Goku reminded him of, Goku's own father Bardock who had tried to rise up against Frieza, only to die when Frieza destroyed the planet Vegeta, the home of the Saiyans.
"You remind me of the Saiyan who tried to rise up against me, leading me to destroy your pathetic planet. The resemblance is unmistakable," Frieza said.
"So what," Goku said. "All I care about is defeating you."
"Then let's get this started," Frieza said.
Frieza teleported in front of Goku and went to strike him, but Goku teleported out of the way and kicked Frieza from behind.
"Hmm, you're a lot faster than your friends," Frieza commented.
Goku didn't reply but continued to stare at Frieza. Frieza then fired a finger blast at Goku, but Goku easily batted it aside. Frieza then fired another blast which Goku deflected aside. Goku then took off into the air to move away from the others to avoid accidently deflecting blasts at them. Frieza continued the barrage, firing them even more rapidly in at an almost machinegun pace. Goku eventually was surrounded by a massive explosion. Frieza looked on with a satisfied grin, but when the smoke cleared Goku was still standing, completely unharmed.
"Impossible!" Frieza exclaimed.
Frieza then flew at Goku and the two began to trade blows.
"Ha, who would have thought," Vegeta groaned from the ground. "That Kakarrot would be the one who becomes a Super Saiyan."
"You should shut up," Frost said. "Frieza is still only use five percent of his power."
Vegeta propped himself up on his elbow.
"No Kakarrot is the real deal this time," Vegeta said. "And once he's done with Frieza, you'll be nothing but easy pickings."
Vegeta started laughing again and Frost angrily fired a death beam at him. The ray hit Frieza in the chest and went through him, piercing his heart. Vegeta fell back off his elbows and coughed up a huge amount of blood.
"That's enough," Frost said. "Frieza and I will not be beaten by some monkey."
"What is your problem?" Gohan asked. "He was no threat to you anymore. He was completely defenseless."
"If you don't like the way I dealt with his big mouth, then I suggest you shut yours or I'll do the same to you," Frost threatened.
Gohan didn't feel like saying anything else and neither did Piccolo or Krillin.
"The only reason I haven't killed the three of you already is because I know Frieza wants as many people as possible to witness this battle." Frost explained. "It will display his ultimate power."
Frieza and Goku's battle rage on in the air. Frieza managed to get the advantage using his tail to slap Goku to the ground. He then fired a gigantic Ki attack at Goku, who managed to get out of the way just in time. Frieza then began firing eye beams into the smoke but couldn't hit Goku. Goku was confused why the attacks weren't even close but then Frieza appeared above him and Goku had to go on the defensive one more. The two began trading blows once more but this time Frieza seemed to have the upper hand. Once again Frieza bashed Goku to the ground and fired a Ki blast at him. After not seeing Goku emerge from the blast for several moments Frieza smiled to himself.
All of a sudden Goku teleported so that he was back to back with Frieza. Goku then turned around and tried to punch Frieza but Frieza teleported away. Goku then tried to find Frieza's Ki and once he did he fired an energy blast, but Frieza leapt out of the way and vanished again.
Goku then tried to find Frieza again but before he could Frieza leapt into the air from underwater and fired a Ki blast at Goku. Goku retaliated by catching the blast in his hands. He was pushed back a long way before he finally was able to deflect the blast up into the air.
"Hmph, that not so impressive," Frieza remarked.
Goku ignored the remark.
"I've got to try and put an end to this," Goku muttered to himself. "And fast too."
Goku raised his hands in the air and began gaining energy for his Spirit Bomb attack. Frieza looked at him confused by this.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to taunt me?" Frieza asked angrily.
Goku ignored him and continued gathering energy.
"Just what is that fool doing?" Frost wondered aloud. "Is he giving up?"
Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan all knew what Goku was doing but didn't dare say what.
Frieza flew in and drove a big kick into Goku's midsection. Goku just took the kick but continued to hold his hands up and gather energy.
"Are you mocking me now?" Frieza asked frustration clearly evident in his voice. "Or are you perhaps giving up?"
Frieza blasted Goku with a huge punch sending him flying back. But Goku got back to his feet and put his hands in the air again. Frieza continued to beat on Goku, but after every strike Goku just got back up and continued to gather energy for his Spirit Bomb much to Frieza and Frost's confusion. Finally Goku had enough energy gathered, he got up from one last attack by Frieza and smiled at him. Frieza finally looked up and saw the gigantic ball of energy in the air. Goku motioned with his arms and it came plummeting down at Frieza. Frieza was unable to get away. He pushed against the energy ball trying to force it up into the sky. Suddenly Frost came flying in and added her strength to Frieza's and the two of them were able to send the Spirit Bomb off into space where it detonated harmless with a bright flash.
"Impressive," Frieza commented. "That attack took both of us to defend against."
"That wasn't fair," Goku complained.
"Hmph, you've got your friends to help you if you want." Frost said. "It's not our fault that they are so pathetically weak."
"You leave them out of this," Goku threatened.
"How about we remove them from this fight, the easy way?" Frieza suggested.
Frieza pointed his hand at Krillin. Goku could only watch helplessly as Krillin was lifted into the air.
"No don't!" Goku cried.
"Krillin!" Gohan shouted.
"Goku, help!" Krillin pleaded.
Frieza clenched his hand into a fist and Krillin literally exploded. There was no trace of Krillin's body left.
"I think maybe his brat should go next," Frost suggested.
"You Monsters!" Goku shouted.
Lightning formed in the sky and began striking the ground. Frost and Frieza looked on slightly worried by what they had unleashed in Goku by enraging him so much.
