Chapter 3: Confrontation
Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin landed in front of the ship. The door opened and Frieza, King Cold, Cooler, and finally Galacia walked out. "Well, well. It looks as if the cavalry has already arrived," Frieza smirked. Galacia stepped out in front of them. "Is that Goku? The one with the spiky hair?" Galacia asked. "No, that would be Vegeta. He's the prince of the saiyans," Frieza explained. "So, which ones Goku?" Galacia asked. "None of them! He isn't here!" King Cold growled. Galacia hmphed. "I would think he would come to backup his own son," Cooler chuckled. "The kid? He's Goku's son?" Galacia tried to confirm. "Yes," King Cold replied. "And the bald kid?" Galacia asked. "He's not a kid. Just a midget. And he's not important," Frieza explained. "Wrong answer," Galacia replied. "W-what?" Frieza stuttered. "None of them are important. I'll deal with this," Galacia growled, stepping forward and holding out his hand. "Get ready, Gohan," Krillin whispered to Gohan, getting into his fighting position. Vegeta and Gohan did the same. Galacia released a barrage of light blue ki blasts upon them. Gohan barely dodged them. Vegeta dodged them easily. Krillin had even more trouble than Gohan. Gohan had just jumped out of the way of one coming straight for him when he sensed another was coming from behind him. He spun around and realized he wouldn't be able to dodge this one. Suddenly, the blast was knocked out of the way and toward Galacia. Galacia ceased fire to deflect the blast into the air. Galacia looked at who had defended Gohan. A Namekian stood with his arm outstretched. "Piccolo!" Gohan exclaimed.
"Who is that?" Galacia demanded to know. "A Namekian, sir," King Cold replied. "A Namekian? A Namekian wouldn't be able to deflect my blast. He's different from the ones I knew 10000 years ago," Galacia growled. "I noticed that myself when I combated with him," Frieza added. "You've fought him before?" Galacia asked. "Yes, on the Namekian home world. I would've killed him if it weren't for Goku," Frieza explained. "So, I have a proud Prince, a worthless Saiyan hybrid, a bald midget, and even a Namekian slug. Yet no Goku. I'm starting to question whether Goku is real or not," Galacia growled.
"Piccolo! How did you…" Gohan's voice trailed off. "I sensed them coming and came to meet them. They're stronger than last time," Piccolo replied. "And it appears they've added to the group," Krillin noted, pointing toward Galacia. "Galacia…" Piccolo replied. "You know him?" Vegeta asked. "Of course! Every guardian of Earth is educated of the knowledge of Galacia! He was one of the first three of Frieza's race, along with Ike and Wintar. Galacia was the most powerful of the three, but he soon became mad with power and killed Ike. However, Wintar managed to survive and continue Frieza's race. Galacia continued his reign of terror until he came upon the first Super Saiyan, Eleri and his father Caage. Eleri distracted Galacia with combat until Caage could learn how to trap Galacia. Galacia managed to defeat Eleri, but Caage succeeded in sealing him away. It was thought that Caage also destroyed the crystal Galacia was trapped in, destroying him forever, but apparently he didn't," Piccolo explained. "Wow, that guys worse than Frieza then," Krillin stuttered. "Bah! He can't be more powerful than anything we've faced before, so this should be an easy victory!" Vegeta smiled. "Don't underestimate him. He can sense powers like we can, making him a better fighter than any of the three behind him," Piccolo replied.
"Where is Goku?" Frieza called over to them. "Seriously? They're after my dad?" Gohan growled. "He isn't here," Piccolo called back. "I don't believe you! Goku! Come out or I'll reduce this planet to dust!" Frieza shouted to the heavens. "Be quiet you fool!" Galacia barked. Frieza winced. "Where is he then?" Galacia asked. "Dead, if you must know," Vegeta called. "Vegeta!" Krillin complained. "Really now? Finally met his match, eh? I knew this was a waste of time," Galacia growled, looking back at the other three. Galacia started to walk back toward Frieza's ship when Vegeta blew it to pieces. Galacia stopped where he was. "You're not going anywhere!" Vegeta chuckled. "Don't pick fights you know you can't win, boy," Galacia called back at him, turning around. Vegeta got ready to fight. Galacia laughed. "You really think you can take on me?" he called mockingly. "I could destroy you!" Vegeta smirked, powering into a Super Saiyan. Galacia had a moment of surprise. "A Super Saiyan! This suddenly got a lot more interesting…" Galacia's voice trailed off. Vegeta charged.
