LAst time on Dragon Ball F, Bulma and Saishi engaged in battle against the tyrant Freeza, battling him as Katas left to retrieve his brother. They managed to orce him to transform, being defeated until Vegeta showed up, helping them gain some control. However, Freeza proved too much as he brutally murdered Saishi. Bulma managed to beat him down with her Overclock: Level Three, but Freeza revealed a shocking truth: he could still transform! See the result on Dragon Ball F!
Chapter Nine: Deadly Stakes: The Battle Against the True Freeza
Freeza rushed for Vegeta, landing a gut punch on her that knocked her over. She pounded on Vegeta for about three seconds when Bulma landed a kick on his neck with all the force she could muster, sending him flying back a good deal.
"You two are really becoming a thorn in my side." Freeza seethed as he stood up, his eyes flashing red almost, anger burning in them. "I'm going to destroy you with my bare hands! You are worthless compared to me! It is impossible that you should be able to face me in my transformed state! It's inconceivable! You little bitches! You're dead!"
"You're all talk." Vegeta smirked. "If that's all you've got, we'll break you in an instant."
"Oh, Vegeta." Freeza said, his anger turning back to its smug sound. "You poor, poor thing."
And then, Freeza said the words that brought a chill down both Bulma and Vegeta's spines.
"Who said this was my final form?"
"Y-you can transform further?" Bulma asked, gulping.
"Oh, foolish weakling." Freeza chuckled. "If you think I'm going easy on you anymore, you're wrong. Prepare to face my next form."
With Raditz
"You have this, Vegeta." The wounded Saiyan thought. "Kick his ass. Wait, why is Freeza's power shooting up like that?"
With the group
Freeza got into a power up position, yelling as his body once more twisted to a new shape. His head lengthened, the purple area becoming longer. His horns turned white and sort of fused with the rest of his head, two more sprouting up. His shoulder places shot outward like the shoulder portions of his armor he was wearing. His nose disappeared as his face became more uniform, no bumps showing. His face became more alien like.
"It looks like something from Alien." Bulma's face paled as she felt his power. Vegeta was trembling, trying to clench her fists.
"Now, where was I?" Freeza asked, smirking. His voice seemed a little raspier than previously. "Oh yes, that's right. I was about to squash some insects into the ground."
"You won't beat us." Bulma said gritting her teeth, moving forward to attack Freeza, only to get swatted by his tail. She fell to the ground, Freeza shooting a red beam out of his fingers that pierced through her arm. She cried out in pain, circuits showing as well as blood flowing as she gripped her arm and stood up.
"Face my wrath, Freeza!" Vegeta shouted, firing a double handed Ki blast from her hands. Vegeta simply laughed, swatting it away and kicking Vegeta in the chest, the Saiyan princess gasping as she felt her ribs crack painfully. She bounced on the ground, smashing into a rock and lying there and groaning.
"That should take care of you for a while." Freeza laughed. "I'll take care of this earthling for a while and then I'll tend to you. I don't take kindly to traitors."
"You'll burn in hell for your actions." Vegeta growled out.
"Not before you." Freeza chuckled. "Now, earthling, let's see: maiming or amputating by ripping off?"
"How about a taste of your own medicine?!" Bulma shouted, touching her index and middle fingers to her forehead, a spark of Ki forming where they touched. "I learned this from the Kami of earth!"
"Makankōsappō!" she shouted, thrusting her fingers forward, two beams of energy firing from them. One went straight as the other coiled around it like a screw or drill. The technique races toward Freeza, the tyrant sneering as he looked at it. At the last second, however, he dodged the attack, the beam drilling into the rock behind him with a large explosion.
"H-he dodged it?!" Bulma's eyes widened as she took a step back in shock. "H-how?!"
"Because I'm the most powerful being in the universe." Freeza smirked at her. "And you are just a pathetic weakling that doesn't know her place."
With that, Freeza moved for her, punching her up into the air, kicking her down to the ground face first, making a huge crater.
"Funny." Freeza chuckled, crossing his arms as he floated high up. "Your pathetic friend seemed more interesting. I had so much fun killing her."
"You… bastard!" Bulma growled, pushing herself up, standing up, her face and body injured, revealing some wires in addition to blood and organs. "You'll pay for everything you've done! Overclock: Level Three!"
Bulma's power level skyrocketed, Vegeta and even Freeza looking surprised at the massive increase in the cyborg's power. A white aura exploded around her, her body becoming covered in what seemed like thin armor, its look very metallic as Bulma's eyes glowed red, her pupils still shining as she gave a final yell as she released her power to its fullest.
With a speed unseen by the other two, Bulma kicked Freeza in the head, following it up with a punch to his gut. She knocked him into the air, landing several deadly blows to his face before knocking him back down to the ground similar to how he'd done with her.
She dropped down on the tyrant like a rock, driving her knees into his chest and throwing punch after punch into his face, yelling angrily the whole time. But, then, suddenly, her armor disappeared and she reverted to how she looked prior to the fight, the cyborg's eyes widening in surprise.
"Well well well." Freeza chuckled, firing a Ki blast into her face and knocking her off of him. "It seems you've run out of tricks. It was such a shame. I was hoping you'd actually put up a struggle. It would be so much more satisfying to kill you that way."
Bulma growled, her face showing more of her cybernetic wires and blood vessels. She rushed towards Freeza, the tyrant punching her into a rock, Bulma's body taking serious damage due to her Overclock not being active. She fell to the ground, moaning in pain as she passed out, closing her eyes.
"Looks like it's just you and me, Vegeta." Freeza smirked, advancing towards the Saiyan princess menacingly. Vegeta backed up, fear striking her features as Freeza stepped closer.
"Wh-what is this?!" Vegeta thought. "H-he's unstoppable!"
"I'll make this as slow as possible." Freeza smirked, clearing the distance slowly, Vegeta rooted to the ground in fear.
However, before Freeza could do anything, he was kicked in the face and knocked over with his attacker standing on top of him.
"Wh-wha!?" Vegeta said, noticing the attacker was a Namekian.
"You're going to pay for the slaughter of the Namekian race!" He shouted, kicking Freeza into the air, punching him into a rock.
He then rushed over to Bulma, picking her up, shaking her slightly. He then pulled out two small Senzu beans Bulma had dropped, putting one into her mouth and making her chew it, tilting her head to cause her to swallow it.
Bulma's eyes shot open as she jumped up, feeling her energy return. The smaller cuts on her body began to knit themselves back together, staying closed. Her face started, fully healing after a minute.
"Katas?!" She exclaimed. "You're here!"
"I have returned." He said. "I have fused with Nails, which has granted us new power."
"Wow." Bulma said. "Fusion must be pretty powerful."
"It is." Katas said. "All fusions gain massive power. I have enough to take on this monster and avenge those that were slaughtered."
"Good." Bulma said, clenching a fist. "I didn't have enough in me to stop him."
"Where is Saishi?" Katas asked.
"She's gone." Bulma said, gritting her teeth in anger. "That bastard did it."
"We're going to destroy that bastard." Vegeta said.
"Toss her a Senzu." Bulma said, Katas doing so.
"What is this?" Vegeta asked.
"A Senzu bean." Bulma said. "It can heal you and restore your stamina."
Vegeta looked at it in suspicion, eating it. She was shocked when she felt her energy return in full.
"Well" came the voice of Freeza in a chuckle. "It would seem you've gained another ally. Too bad it won't help you."
"You're dead now, Freeza." Bulma said. "We'll make you pay."
"Oh, is that so?" Freeza smirked. "Well, I think you'll change your mind when I show you something that only two people have seen."
"What?" Bulma asked.
"My true form." Freeza chuckled. He began to yell as his body began to glow red.
With Raditz
"What's happening now?" she thought. "Freeza's power is shooting up again. How powerful is he?! Be careful, Vegeta."
With Goku and Chi-Chi
Goku threw a punch at Chi-Chi, the earthling dodging and throwing one at Goku, who also dodged. The two were fighting at the highest gravity setting, one hundred times the gravity of earth. They still wore all of their weighted clothing, putting their total weight at around thirty three tons each. They were still throwing lightning fast punches and kicks, even the strong gravity and weights not seeming to slow them down.
Goku grabbed Chi-Chi's fist with her tail, using Chi-Chi's momentum to send her moving backwards as she kicked her in the back of the head, sending Chi-Chi flipping over as she turned around, firing a Ki blast at Goku. Goku dodged, firing one in retaliation. Chi-Chi swatted it away, kicking Goku in the chest, knocking the Saiyan to the ground. Goku grinned, excited, jumping back up as she punched Chi-Chi, Chi-Chi's fist colliding with hers.
"We're really getting the hang of this, aren't we?" Chi-Chi asked as the two struggled to overcome each other.
"Yeah!" Goku nodded excitedly. I didn't think we could be so strong! Do you think even that Freeza guy can stand against us?"
"We'll find out when we get there." Chi-Chi said. "Let's keep training until we get there though."
"Yeah!" Goku said. "Let's keep training! Maybe we should work on the Kaio-Ken a little more."
"That's a good idea." Chi-Chi said, the two of them stopping and standing on the ground, taking deep breaths.
"Kaio-Ken!" they shouted, a red, blazing aura bursting up around them as their power levels skyrocketed, the two of them yelling with the power they were giving off.
The two resumed their fight, moving even faster than before and landing punches that shook the very ship itself, stronger than ever. As the two fought the planet Namek loomed ever closer.
"I'm gonna win this one!" Goku grinned, rushing towards Chi-Chi.
"No you're not!" Chi-Chi grinned, rushing at her sister, the two beginning to exchange blows once again.
"Shotgun Punch!" Goku shouted, Ki charging in her hand.
"Thousand Strikes!" Chi-Chi shouted, her speed rocketing. The two collided, their punches thrusting them backwards, causing them to hit the ground and bounce.
They jumped up, jumping with powerful kicks, kicking each other in the stomach, falling back on the ground, coughing out a little blood.
"This is great!" Goku grinned, jumping back up as Chi-Chi also jumped up, ready to continue.
"It is." Chi-Chi said, nodding. "I'm really getting into this."
"Me too!" Goku grinned, flexing her biceps. "We're really getting stronger!"
"We sure are." Chi-Chi said, nodding. "Let's put it to the test!"
"Yeah!" Goku shouted as the two of them rushed for each other once again, their fists attacking each other at blinding speed as they pushed their power as far as it could go.
"That was great!" Goku shouted.
"We should practice that other technique that North Kai taught us, that secret technique."
"yeah." Goku said. "We could use that one for when we fight Freeza."
"It will definitely come in handy." Chi-Chi said, the two of them ending the Kaio-Ken. "Let's practice now so we can eat a Senzu bean and have our energy back when we get there."
"Right." Goku said as the two began to practice their technique.
Later
"We're here!" Goku said, pointing as the ship came much closer to the planet Namek.
"Good." Chi-Chi said. "Begin landing sequence."
"Got it!" Goku said, pushing the appropriate buttons to do so.
The ship landed, the door opening and the two sisters stepping out. They looked around at the planet, amazed by it.
"What's that huge power I sense?" Chi-Chi asked.
"It's gotta be Freeza." Goku said. "Let's go help the others."
"Goku…" Chi-Chi said, a nervous look in her eyes. "I can't sense Master Saishi."
"Me either." Goku said. "Chi-Chi… is she…"
"I hope not." Chi-Chi said. "Let's got stop Freeza."
"Right." Goku said, nodding as they sped off to where the group was.
With the group
Freeza body glowed an intense red, so intense that the group had to shield their eyes from the intensity. It began to crack, pieces of it exploding off like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, his body shrinking. After about two minutes, the red glow exploded, shooting off like glass, dissipating and leaving behind something else entirely.
Freeza was now the same height he was when the fight had started, slightly taller than Goku. His body shape was smoother and a light greyish color. His shin armor was purple in the front as was the armor on his wrists. His head had the same purple area as did his chest, the area holding a slight glow.
"He's smaller" Bulma said. "But, I'm more nervous than ever."
"No kidding." Katas said. "Let's hope this battle ends well for us."
"Yeah." Bulma said. "are you ready to fight?"
"I am." Katas said. "Let's do this."
"I'm more than willing to engage you." Freeza said, his voice like when he was first fighting. The group rushed at him, throwing punches. Freeza dodged, simply moving his head.
"Is that all you've got?" He asked, gut punching Katas and kneeing Bulma. "I've fought insects with more fight than you. Actually use your full power. I want to enjoy ripping you apart."
"It ends here, Freeza!" Vegeta shouted, punching Freeza in the head from behind him, kicking him into the air. "You die today!"
Vegeta flew upwards, rushing to punch Freeza again. However, this time, Freeza caught her fist, smirking as she kicked Vegeta off to the side. Vegeta flew into the water, busting out with a yell, charging up her Ki in her hands.
"You want to end this?!" Vegeta shouted. "Consider this ended! Galick Gun fire!"
Vegeta thrust her hands forward, a dark purple beam emerging from them rushing towards Freeza, who simply crossed his arms and looked at it, waiting.
"Why's Freeza only waiting?" Bulma asked.
"Maybe he's too strong?" Katas said. "He's far more powerful than when he was first there. And, I still have the feeling that this isn't his true power. Who knows what he's capable of?"
"That's a scary thought." Bulma said. "I seriously hope we've seen the last of him with this."
At the last second, before the blast hit him, Freeza simply kicked Vegeta's Galick Gun upwards, the beam disappearing into the sky. Vegeta looked at it in shock, horror encompassing her features.
"We're screwed." Bulma said.
"Not necessarily." Katas said. "Vegeta wasn't the most powerful of us."
"True." Bulma said. "But, we have to survive this long enough to wait for Chi-Chi and Goku. Hopefully they'll be here soon. We're dead otherwise."
"Now now, Vegeta." Freeza said, moving directly in front of Vegeta, the Saiyan princess moving backwards in shock as the tyrant still held his smirk. "Let's settle this like civilized people. There's no need for us to throw a temper tantrum over not winning."
"Oh, like you when the earthlings and Namekian threw you for a loop?" Vegeta found her courage.
Freeza said nothing, simply grabbing Vegeta around the throat, squeezing enough to make Vegeta gasp.
"you know, Vegeta" he said, chuckling darkly. "I don't really like your tone. I'll have to deal with you myself."
"Go to hell." Vegeta spat out as Freeza's grip tightened, the Saiyan princess clawing as his hand in an attempt to escape.
"Oh, I promise you that you will be the one going to hell." Freeza said, punching Vegeta in the gut. Vegeta coughed, Freeza following it up with another punch. Vegeta began to cough out blood as the tyrant continued punching her.
"Enough!" Bulma shouted, landing a punch on Freeza's face. However, the punch did nothing as her punch simply made a dent. Freeza smirked, elbowing her in the gut, sending her flying back down to the ground, where she made a crater.
"This ends now!" Katas shouted, firing a massive Ki blast at Freeza. However, Freeza was unaffected by the blast, continuing to punch Vegeta.
Freeza then threw Vegeta in the water, Vegeta hitting the water so hard it split, leaving a path through the water. Freeza then slowly lowered himself down to her, picking her up by the collar of her uniform.
"Now, Vegeta" Freeza said. "How badly do you think I'm going to beat you now?"
"Go to hell!" Vegeta shouted, firing a powerful Ki blast into his face, causing him to smirk, chuckling.
"Is that all you've got left?" He asked. "Well, I'm going to have my work cut out for me then."
Freeza wrapped his tail around Vegeta's neck, punching her in the face. He grabbed her arm, squeezing until the crack of bones breaking could be heard. Vegeta screamed out in pain as Freeza did the same to her other arm, punching her in the gut.
"It's over, Freeza!" Bulma shouted, rushing forward, punching Freeza, her Overclock: Level Three activated. Freeza flew to the side, releasing Vegeta, Katas getting her as Bulma and Freeza engaged in combat once again.
"You're going to pay!" Bulma shouted, throwing punches, all of which Freeza was dodging. Freeza threw a punch to her gut, Bulma dodging, swinging around and catching him in the back of the head with her foot. Freeza was thrown forward as Bulma punched him in the gut, swinging him by his tail in a circle, releasing him towards a rock.
However, before Freeza hit the rock, he disappeared, his speed moving him behind Bulma where he kicked at her.
Bulma dodged, punching at him, Freeza countering with a punch of his own. The two pushed against each other, neither gaining any ground as they caused a crater to form as they turned to gripping.
Bulma put her other hand in Freeza's face, firing a Ki blast in Freeza's face, catching him off guard as she landed a kick to his gut, punching him in the face. Freeza landed a punch that caused a dent in her cybernetics enhanced chest. Bulma threw another punch that he caught, beginning to crush her hand with his grip. Bulma growled against the pain, swinging a kick to catch Freeza in the head, causing him to release her hand.
"You're still a weakling." Freeza chuckled to himself. "And, weaklings deserve to be crushed under my foot."
"You won't beat us!" Bulma growled, punching him in the face. Freeza dodged her blow, kicking her over to Katas, sending both of them straight into a rock, where they lay still, Bulma trying to get up.
"Now, Vegeta" Freeza said, picking the Saiyan princess back up. "Let's finish what we started."
"You will never make me submit to you." Vegeta growled out.
"Oh, I'm sure I can manage to change your mind." Freeza smirked. "Especially since I still hold Raditz as my prisoner."
"You are going to burn for that." Vegeta said.
"Oh?" Freeza asked, feigning curiosity, which shifted into anger. "And, who's going to make me? We've had this conversation before, Vegeta. Hell, I think we've even had it today. You have nothing to threaten me with. I hold your life in my hands. Every action you take must pass through my judgement. I am your god! Now, give me the proper respect and I might just forgive you for this."
Vegeta spit on Freeza's face, her defiance evident. Freeza gained an evil grin, throwing her back down to the ground with enough force to not only make a crater, but also shatter quite a few of Vegeta's bones on impact. The Saiyan princess coughed out more blood, unable to move. Bulma, who was still recovering charged at Freeza, her Overclock active, and charged at Freeza once again, landing a punch on his face.
"You are very resilient." He taunted, laughing as he punched her in the face. "If I wasn't so unbelievably pissed off at you three right now, I would give you the chance to join my force, but it would seem that's not an option. Now, prepare to feel the wrath of the mighty Lord Freeza!"
Freeza held up his finger, a ball of pure energy swirling around it, getting larger by the second. Freeza's maniacal grin lengthened as he threw it at Bulma, the cyborg holding out her hands to deflect it. The ball continued to move towards her, pushing her down to the ground.
Freeza laughed, throwing a Ki blast into the ball, causing it to detonate. Bulma was thrown backwards by the blast, parts of her skin blowing off as she flew backwards at an incredible rate. A trail of blood showed her path, thicker where she bounced on the ground. She landed facedown after slamming into a rock, a puddle beginning to surround her.
"Bulma!" Katas shouted, having recovered slightly. He struggled to move over to Bulma, checking on her.
"She isn't dead yet." He muttered. "She's definitely not fully human."
He pulsed some of his power into the cyborg, enough to stop the bleeding. Freeza was up in the air, laughing at his handiwork as he landed on the ground, walking slowly dramatically over to Katas, his evil sneer not leaving his face. He picked Katas up by his neck, throwing him into a rock, knocking him out as the blood from his head flowed in a trickle.
With Goku and Chi-Chi
Goku and Chi-Chi flew towards the source of the massive energy, trying to get there quickly too help their friends. However, as they flew, they noticed Freeza's ship.
"We should investigate in here quickly." Bulma said, Goku nodding as they landed. They rushed through the ship, sensing a power level. They quickly reached it, noticing that it belonged to a being in a pod full of a strange greenish colored liquid.
"What is it?" Goku asked.
"It looks like a pod like in those books Bulma reads." Chi-Chi said.
"Huh." Goku said. "I wonder what it does."
The person in the healing pod opened her eyes, looking at them. As her eyes adjusted, she noticed that they were there. She looked at Goku, studying her face for a minute.
"Kakarot?" she said, though it was muffled by the mask she wore.
"huh?" Goku asked.
"Kakarot." The woman said weakly. "It's… you."
"Goku, we have to go." Chi-Chi said. "Bulma's power just dropped!"
"We'll be back." Goku said. "then we'll talk, alright?"
The woman nodded, her long black hair waving in the water.
With Freeza, Bulma, Katas, and Vegeta
Freeza began to laugh, rising into the air and charging up another ball of energy with which to strike them with. However, before he could, his ball was shot with a Ki blast that detonated it. Freeza growled as he looked down to see Vegeta, her hand barely extended, the Saiyan princess showing anger at this crucial moment.
"Vegeta." Freeza seethed. "I've had enough of you! You've been a thorn in my side for far too long! I will destroy you now!"
"You're not gonna destroy anything!" a voice shouted as two new figures, one with spiky hair and one with straight hair landed in front of him and in between him and Vegeta.
"And, who might you be?" Freeza smirked, looking at them with irritation and a sadistic glee.
However the one with spiky hair had moved to Bulma and Katas, handing Katas two of the same beans from earlier. He gave one to Bulma, who unconsciously chewed it, her eyes shooting open as her body began to knit itself together again. Katas healed himself with the bean he held.
"This is for you, Vegeta." Chi-Chi said, giving the bean to Vegeta, who refused at first. However, after Chi-Chi insisted, she ate it grudgingly, feeling her power return.
"G-Goku?" Bulma asked, shocked as she stood up, looking at the spiky haired girl.
It was at that point Freeza noticed the tail Goku had.
"Another Saiyan monkey?!" He exclaimed in irritation. "You whelps have been a thorn in my side for far too long!"
"Where's Saishi?" Chi-Chi asked, moving over.
"She's gone." A tear slid down Bulma's face. "That bastard did it."
"Is that so?" Goku asked, growling as she looked over at Freeza, who crossed his arms and smirked.
"You three get out of here." Goku said. "Go help the one in that pod. We'll handle Freeza."
"You've got to be joking." Vegeta scoffed. "Freeza singlehandedly beat us to pulps. What chance do you have?"
"We have a chance." Goku said, her and Chi-Chi's powers rising, the others feeling it.
"What incredible power." Katas said. "It dwarves all of ours."
"Let's get out of here." Bulma said. "We'll just be in the way."
The three of them moved to a safe distance, leaving Goku, Chi-Chi, and Freeza standing there alone.
"Well then." Freeza smirked. "It seems you might prove to be a pair of warriors after all. But, I will still enjoy crushing you like bugs."
Goku and Chi-Chi clenched their fists, a white aura that moved like smoke surrounding them.
"You're going to pay for killing our master!" They shouted, moving in front of Freeza, striking battle poses.
Next time on Dragon Ball F, Goku and Chi-Chi engage in battle with Freeza. Can they overcome him? Find out on Dragon Ball F!
