Vegeta scoffed again, clearly agitated at Kaioshins words that he was weaker. Still, he might yet be able to gain an advantage over the fool and overpower him when he was exhausted from whatever this training regiment was.

'Don't count on it, Vegeta.' Kaioshin thought, reading his mind easily.

"I can tell you are excited to get this underway, Son Goku. In order to become stronger, I will put you through a similar effort as you underwent on the way here; fighting to exhaustion and beyond, nearly to the brink of deaths door, then becoming healed. In short, your races greatest ability.. the Zenkai." he explained.

Goku looked a little disappointed that he would be repeating his efforts, then thought of a problem with this. "I trained in really intense gravity, though. And even then I only reached this point at the maximum of a 100Gs." he said.

Kaioshin smiled knowingly. "Ah, yes, if you were to undergo the exact same training, then you would indeed improve very little. But I said a similar effort." turning away, he pointed to Friezas body down below.

"You will each fight Frieza, together. You are obviously ill-suited to defeat him, but the wounds you sustain in the process will allow you to become far stronger upon recovery. Please, be at ease, my power far outstrips Friezas. There is nothing to fear." he explained calmly.

Goku looked a little worried, but nodded his head. Vegeta barely kept his temper in check, but being forced to fight with kakarrot was simply beyond his ability. He would not fight along side that mockery of a saiyan, under any circumstances.

"Never." he nearly growled. "I'd rather die than fight with him by my side!"

Kaioshin turned back to face him. "... So it shall be." he responded in a soft tone, finally losing his own patience with the prideful saiyan. Vegetas eyes narrowed at the threat yet he could not even respond to the speed with which the other figure moved.

An instant before, the purple skinned alien was standing several feet away. The following instand, one arm was through his chest and out his back. Vegeta coughed on his own blood as the arm was withdrawn, and he dropped to his knees, clutching at the gaping wound.

Goku rushed forward to his side. "Vegeta!" he shouted before turning to face the Supreme Kai. A hand was raised to halt any speak. "You will die without my assistance, Vegeta. Will you hold lose your pride in this time, when you could have become a Super Saiyan?" he demanded.

Vegeta couldn't see him, but he raised his head in the direction of the voice, blood gushing out of the gaping hole. "N... Nev... never.." he rasped. Kaioshin narrowed his own eyes in anger but resisted the impulse to let the filthy mortal die afterall.

A white glow washed over the dying saiyan, and the hole patched it self up in only a few moments. He opened his eyes, feeling his breath come with ease again, and patted where the hole had been in his chest only seconds prior.

"Your power should be above Son Gokus right now. Who knows, your next Zenkai may very well put you on par with Friezas current form." he stated flatly, clearly disappointed that Vegeta would hold fast to his pride even as he died.

Goku stood up and turned to face the Supreme Kai with anger in his eyes. "Just why have you decided to intervene? If you're so capable of killing Frieza, why are you making us do so for you??" he questioned.

Kaioshin stiffened and turned away from them again, pacing towards Frieza and then back again, repeating this several more times before deciding to come forth with his true agenda.

"Long before your race even existed, peace and prosperity reigned in both Heaven and the mortal realms. The four Kaioshin watched over the four quadrants of the universe, ensuring no trouble arose that the mortals could not face." he began in a low tone, continuing to pace.

"But in our actions we overlooked a lowly wizard known as Bibidi," he paused, spitting the name out like a foul curse. "The wizard had no power, but he held great magic. He gathered the evil from across the universe, dwelling in the hearts of most races, and centered it into a single focal point, twisting it with his magics." again he paused, eyes closed, remembering.

"The evil took on a shape, a living form. Bibidi was most pleased with his creation. He dubbed it Buu, and took it with him into Heaven. Buu was able to slay the Kaioshin of the North, and the West, but he absorbed the burly Kaioshin of the South." the Supreme Kai shuddered.

"Buu became vastly more powerful. I, the weakest of them all, was simply batted aside like a discarded toy, unworthy of further attention. Instead he turned to Lord of the Lord of Lords, the Dai Kaioshin, a being of pure good. Buu absorbed him, and his power was greatly suppressed in doing so." again he paused, this time coming to a halt.

"I slew Bibidi when I recovered, yet only after the foul wizard had sealed Buu inside of a cocoon and deposited it on a planet among you mortals. For the rest of the years that have passed I have searched far and wide for Buus cacoon without success. I have decided to put my considerable power to use as I once did originally, giving up on my search for the time." he opened his eyes and faced the two full blooded saiyans again.

"My power is little compared to Buus. I will need the strongest fighter in the universe at my side if I ever find the cocoon. That is why I have decided to intervene, Son Goku. You and Vegeta are to be the fighter at my side." he stated.

Goku was frowning. This was becoming complicated. Vegeta looked angry now. "You would use me, the saiyan prince?" he demanded. "Get over yourself, mortal!" Kaioshin snapped, unleashing an accidental kiai that knocked Vegeta end over end for a dozen feet.

Krillin and Gohan had long ago stopped celebrating and were no where in sight. Both Ginyu and Nail were watching with hints of curiosity yet also fear, however. Clenching his fists to get his temper back under control Kaioshin faced Goku again. "Enough of this. You have your choice of Zenkai method, Son Goku: Vegetas brutal way, or fighting Frieza." he stated with no hint of a third choice being available.

"Uh.. if its all the same to you, I'll take my chances fighting Frieza." he responded. "So be it." throwing a hand out to the side where Vegeta was recovering, spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Supreme Kai took ahold of his body with telekinesis and threw him forward to Son Gokus side.

"For all that is good in this universe, fight, saiyan." he ordered. "Uh... where'd Frieza go??" Goku suddenly asked, looking at the spot where the tyrant had previously been then around them. He noticed his son and best friend were also missing.

-zzzzzzzzzzzzz-

From far overhead, as the three suns of Namek reflected off of his shiny armor, a forth form Frieza watched those down below, a slowly growing Death Ball held above one hand, sure in himself that this would end them once and for all.

Beside him, two earthlings were entrapped with his psychic power and other outstretched hand. "Filthy monkeys, all of the saiyans. I'll be quite glad when the last of them down there are exterminated. As for you two earthlings... you'll make a fine bargaining chip if that monster tries to intervene." he muttered.
