Gohan hugged his mother goodbye as he and Piccolo headed towards this dark power. Chi Chi knowing what was at stake didn't even throw a fit and just told Gohan that he had better come back in one piece. But Gohan and Piccolo weren't the only ones headed in that direction. Krillin, Master Roshi and Bulma were also on their way to investigate this mysterious power. As Piccolo and Gohan traveled across the sea they came across an Island and it was here that they felt the dark force was coming. And to their surprise Tien and Yamcha were their as well.
"Hey Piccolo, its Tien and Yamcha I guess they felt it too." Gohan yelled over to Piccolo.
As they were landing in the distance Gohan also spotted Bulma's ship headed their way, and he could sense that Roshi and Krillin were there as well. For a moment Gohan felt good to see all his friends gathered again. Most of his time was spent at home with his mother and he rarely got to see anyone else besides Krillin. But that moment was short lived as the strange dark force became even more overwhelming than before.
"I never felt anything like this before, its almost unreal." Yamcha said as he and Tien were heading to gather up with the rest of the Z Gang.
"Whatever this power is, it cant be good, doesn't feel pure at all" said Tien
Krillin, Roshi and Bulma were greeted by Gohan as they exited the ship. Krillin was glad to see those guys because he knew that the force headed their way felt like Frieza.
"Wow its been a while since we all got together, to bad it had to be for a reason like this." Krillin said as he shook hands with Gohan and the others.
Piccolo knew what was at stake and didn't want to waste time on talk so he quickly explained the situation to everybody. Everyone was under the assumption that Goku killed Frieza back on Namek
and as the same as Chi Chi, it was hard for everyone to believe that it was Frieza who was heading for earth.
"Frieza, No way!! Back on King Kai's planet, King Kai told us Frieza died when Namek was destroyed" Yelled Yamcha.
"I know it sounds crazy but I was there on Namek and this power feels exactly like Frieza there is no question about it" Krillin said.
"Then if its true and Frieza is coming, how are we suppose to fight him. I mean the only person that stood toe to toe with the guy was Goku and he was a Super Saiyan and I know none of us come even close to that." Yamcha explained as he had the look of fear in his eyes.
"Hmph Goku you say?!, Where is your precious Goku now huh?!"
As everyone looked up, there in the sky was Vegeta, he to was aware of the mysterious force but wasn't quick to announce his presence.
"Never thought Id be happy to see Vegeta" Krillin thought to himself.
"If this is Frieza it makes no matter, Goku isn't the only one around here who could become a Super Saiyan, I am a Saiyan Elite and I should have known that Goku wouldn't be able to take out Frieza alone. That job is for me and it always has been for me."
Piccolo annoyed by Vegeta's comments felt he had to say something, " Vegeta, this isn't the time or place for another one of your speeches, this is for real and if we want to get out of this alive I ask you to help us fight Frieza together."
However Vegeta ignored Piccolo's request, "When Frieza arrives no one get in my way unless they want to get hurt and I'll show you the power of a true Saiyan."
And as this quarrel took place a ship suddenly could be seen ripping through the Earth's atmosphere. Roshi was the first to notice it and soon everyone came to a stand still as they watched the ship coming closer to the location. It felt as though time stood still and all that was happening was happening right their on that small island. And then as the whole gang watched the ship slowly descend and land they all just looked on, awaiting to see who would emerge from the ship. Slowly the ship lowered its latch and then out came the ships ramp, followed by soldiers similar to the ones who followed Frieza. But this wasn't where the power was coming from. That strength could still be felt on the ship. After waiting a while nothing was going on, the soldiers who had come from the ship just stood outside watching the rest of the Z fighters. Vegeta, becoming inpatient, quickly gathered a massive amount of energy and aimed it for the soldiers. Piccolo yelled for him to wait but it was to late, Vegeta fired his blast. And with it, totally destroying every soldier. However the ship had some type of shield, protecting it from the massive blast.
"Look! The ship, its ... still there!" Gohan said as the dust from the blast slowly cleared.
The field came down as quickly as it went up and now that same mysterious force could be felt exiting the ship, and as everyone feared, it was indeed Frieza. But he was different.
"So it is Frieza, and by the looks of thing he has done some upgrading to himself" Krillin said.
"Yeah your right Krillin, he almost looks more machine like, and if he is stronger, then what are we going to do? I wish my dad was here."
Frieza walked down the ramp and finally took his first steps on the planet called Earth. He looked around and quickly noticed where that previous blast was fired from and almost instantly transported right in front of everybody. With an evil grin on his face he quickly glanced over the fighters to see Goku wasn't amongst them.
"So Vegeta it looks like I wont have to go looking for you after all, I didn't think you would come back here with the Earthlings to hide. As soon as I'm done with killing them I can enjoy blowing you up with this pathetic planet. That way you and your father can be united again" Frieza said while Laughing.
"You won't have that look on your face once I send you into oblivion" Vegeta screamed as he readied a big bang attack.
All the others knew there was no telling Vegeta what to do so they all backed off as he continued to gather energy. But while this was happening Frieza didn't even budge. Vegeta smiled right before he blasted Frieza head on. At this time there was silence followed by a huge exploding sound and with it came a bright blinding light that rivaled the sun. Vegeta breathing heavily but still smiling was now higher up in the sky with the rest of the Z fighters. As the blinding light slowly dimmed down, there was no sign of Frieza or the island they were all just on.
"I can't believe it, he's gone Vegeta did it guys Frieza is gone." Roshi yelled out in excitement.
"No way I didn't think it would be that easy, I guess Vegeta is a Super Saiyan after all" said Yamcha
However the only one not smiling was Piccolo. He knew something wasn't right and that it seemed to easy for Frieza to be taken on in just one hit. As the smoke and debris were finally clearing, Piccolo gasped and looked up in the sky as the sun started to become eclipsed by something. Piccolo knew it wasn't the moon because he had destroyed it years ago. Everyone else was looking up to the sky to see what was the cause of the sudden darkness, only to see a Moon size sphere of energy towering over the Earth. The power emitting from it was so intense that it confused the fighters how they couldn't have noticed it before.
"Nice try Vegeta you almost made a scratch and to think I came all this way for I could make this as painful as possible but it wont matter because that yellow haired monkey isn't here to watch his friends suffer, so I'm just going to have to get this over with," Frieza with a grin on his face had just fully charged his death ball attack and was ready to destroy not just the Z fighters but the whole planet. Frieza then fired his attack straight at the Earths core, just as he did on Namek.
"Oh no! Theres no way any of us can stop an attack like that from reaching the core, its all over." Yamcha screamed out.
Everyone just watched as the sphere kept going deeper and deeper into the Earth, and they couldn't do anything about it. Even Vegeta was at a lost of words. Meanwhile Frieza just floated there laughing like a mad man waiting for the destruction of the planet. However something happen to the Frieda's Deathball. It stopped moving as if it hit a barrier it couldn't penetrate.
"Hey look! The attack it stopped moving, its not going down any more!" Gohan yelled out.
Everyone else noticed it as well but no one knew what it was. There was no way it would just stop in its tracks like that. So everyone was puzzled as to what happened.
"Impossible! What is going on, this planet should be on its death bed by now." Enraged and confused Frieza fires another attack into the first one and it did nothing to make it move or even explode. Then to makes things even more confusing, the huge energy ball began to rise out of the hole it was just in. This really shocked everyone including Frieza. Then without warning the attack instantly flew out from the ground and out of the Earths atmosphere at a lighting fast speed. All that was left to see was a glowing light in the hole. All the Z-Gang could do was wait and watch to see what or who caused that to happen.
