Author's note:

Hikari, thanks for coming back and leaving a review. Goku isn't doing well, but the isn't dead. Remember that Goku was only just able to stand up after putting everything he had into the spirit bomb. It didn't take much to knock him over. Dende's still around, and still has a part to play. Piccolo is dead, though.

I know that some would rather have Goku be the one to ascend to Super Saiyan first, but my intention was always for Gohan to ascend first. I'm sure Goku will catch up quickly.

The Destruction of Namek

Meanwhile, Tien, Chiatzou and Yamcha had been spending time on King Kai's planet, training hard to prepare for their return to the mortal world. They were currently taking a rare break from their training to listen to King Kai narrate the fight on Namek. When Goku had thrown the spirit bomb, it had seemed like it was the end of Frieza. Just as the celebrations were starting, King Kai realised something was wrong and then passed on to the dead warriors "Frieza survived, and he's even stronger than I thought he was. No one on the planet has the energy left to carry on the fight. Now he's taunting them, and he just attacked Goku. Goku's down but still alive. The attack caught Piccolo though, he's dead." King Kai then started muttering to himself "oh no, Frieza is stronger than we all thought, this will mean many more years of his terror in the North Galaxy." Shortly after sinking into despair, King Kai received a huge shock, with the sudden burst of power from Gohan knocking him off his feet. Tien asked King Kai "Are you okay King Kai?". "I'm fine. In fact, I'm more than fine, this is the best thing to happen to me in centuries! There is now hope after all! Gohan has done something not seen for more than a thousand years and has ascended to become a Super Saiyan!."

Piccolo, dragging Kami along with him at full speed arrived at King Kai's planet less than a minute after he'd died. King Kai looked at the new visitors and said to them "You must be Piccolo and Kami." "Yes. Now where are Gohan, Goku and Krillin? I was expecting them to have joined us by now." replied Piccolo. "In fact, they are still alive. Frieza's attack on you and Goku pushed him over the edge and he transformed into a Super Saiyan. Frieza is likely to regret today's actions." explained King Kai. "King Kai, I think I may have a plan to help Gohan, and it needs your help. I believe that Dende and Guru are still alive. I need you to contact Dende for me and ask him to make a wish. First, revive Piccolo." "I can do that for you" replied King Kai.

Back on Namek, Frieza was in a state of shock. He wasn't able to sense ki, but he could feel the power coming off of Gohan. Frieza was no going to admit this, and continued to taunt Gohan "So you changed your hair, that won't help you defeat me. YOu're still just a stupid monkey." Moments later, Frieza was doubled over after a hefty punch to his abdomen from Gohan. "No Frieza, don't you realise? I've become what you always feared. I am a SUper Saiyan. Now, I was thinking of making this quick and painless for you, but then I realised that's too good for the likes of you. I'm going to enjoy making you suffer, and once I'm done with you, you'll beg for death." stated Gohan in a low voice. Frieza started chuckling and shouted at Gohan "You're a fool if you think you can take me. I'm still nowhere near my full power." "I can tell, but your full power is still as nothing compared to me. Now to start making you feel like your many victims!" replied Gohan. Gohan sent a concentrated ki blast at Frieza, burning through Frieza and replicating the injury Frieza had given to his father. Gohan then sent Frieza flying into a nearby cliff and then told Krillin "Take my Dad and Piccolo, find Bulma and get off the planet." Krillin nodded, grabbed Goku and Piccolo and flew off to find Bulma.

King Kai had contacted Dende and passed on Kami's request. Dende had travlled to the nearby collected dragon balls and spoke in Namekian "Porunga, Arise and grany my wishes". The sky darkened and the dragon Porunga arose and spoke "You have summoned me. What are your wishes?". "Revive the one known as Piccolo" replied Dende. "It is done. What is your next wish?" and then the sky returned to normal and Porunga disappeared. King Kai relayed this development to Kami who said "That means Guru has died, but the question is, what did he die of?". "He died because the summoning of Porunga pushed him over the edge, but the fundamental reason is because of his grief at the death of his people. Guru died of a broken heart." explained King Kai. "In that case, the earth dragon balls will restore him. Mr Popo already had the inactive dragon balls gathered. I will have Mr Popo wish for everyone who died as a result of Frieza's actions and was not evil to be restored to life."

Meanwhile, after being knocked into a cliff, Frieza had taken advantage of Gohan's brief distraction when he was talking to Krillin and had powered up to his maximum power. Gohan sensed this and began to taunt Frieza "Finally decided to take this so called stupid monkey seriously now, are you? I know you're at full power, and yet you're still an insect compared to me." Frieza shot several highly concentrated laser like beams of ki at Gohan, who was able to easily deflect every one of them. Gohan then flew to Frieza and grabbed Frieza's right hand, and began to bend the little finger on that hand backwards. Slowly, Gohan broke every invidual bone in the little finger on Frieza's right hand, being sure to cause as much pain as possible. King Kai had noticed the change in Gohan, and was very worried. "Gohan's stronger than Frieza by a huge margin, but he doesn't seem to be interested in finishing Frieza off. Currently, he's just torturing Frieza." stated King Kai. Piccolo asked King Kai "Can you let me talk to Gohan?" "Yes, just put your hand on my back and anything you say will be heard by Gohan" answered King Kai. Gohan was in the process of slowly breaking another of Frieza's fingers when he heard Piccolo's voice in his head "Gohan, don't let yourself sink to his level. Finish it before he has a chance to get back in the fight." Gohan heard Piccolo and calmed down slightly, realising that he had gone too far. Gohan let go of Frieza finger and smashed Frieza into the ground.

Kami had been in touch with Mr Popo and the wish to restore those killed by Frieza had been made. Back on Namek, Vegeta was restored to life and immediately sensed Gohan's power and shouted out "Take that Frieza, Kakarot's son did it, he's a Super Saiyan now. Enjoy the revenge of the Saiyan race Frieza!". Dende watched in surprise as the Namekian dragon reappeared. Gohan was watching the spot on the ground that he had smashed Frieza into and was thinking that Frieza was taking suspiciously long to get back up. Just as Gohan was about to go in with another attack, Frieza got back up and surprised Gohan with a huge ball of energy. Gohan braced himself to block it, but Frieza didn't throw it at Gohan. Instead, he threw it straight at the planet Namek and then shouted "Die Planet, Die!". Not being able to resist taunting Gohan further, Frieza explained "You see, I just destroyed the planet. My race can breathe in space, and yours cannot. So in about five minutes, you'll be dead and my father's spaceship will pick me up." "Five minutes is more than enough time to destroy you Frieza. That attack took a chunk out of your already dwindling energy." and with that, Gohan launched a multitude of small energy blasts at Frieza. Whilst Frieza was busy dodging Gohan's blast, Gohan was able to get behind Frieza and sent him crashing into the ground.

Piccolo had returned from King Kai's planet and was back in his body on Namek, fully healed. Goku had also woken up and found his last senzu bean and taken it. No longer slowed down by the need to carry two bodies, they quickly found Bulma, who was conveniently waiting by their ship. Back on king Kai's planet, King Kai was concerned about the latest developments on Namek. "This is no good, Frieza's blown the planet up, there isn't much time left. Kami said to King Kai "The Namekian dragon should be back now. Have Dende wish everyone except Frieza on Namek to Earth. Actually, wish them to Capsule Corp headquarters, we don't want to panic the general population of Earth." Gohan's voice intterupted "Wait, I request a change to that wish. Leave me on Namek so that I can finish Frieza. I'll find some other way off Namek" Piccolo's voice then chimed in "We're in the spaceship, have the dragon leave us here as well and we'll grab Gohan once he's finished with Frieza." King Kai communicated with Dende, who made the requested wish.

Gohan the sent energy blasts at Frieza, each strong enough to injure, but not kill Frieza and asked "How does it feel, to know that you have absolutely no chance of survival. That you are completely at my mercy?". Frieza was just about able to get up and start blocking some of Gohan's energy blast. Noticing this, Gohan moved in and delivered a solid punch, breaking Frieza's shoulder. Frieza realised that he was now fighting for survival, and went to use his best attack. Frieza created three spinning energy discs and threw them at Gohan. Gohan dodged them easily, expecting that to be the end of it, but then the discs turned round and came back at Gohan. Gohan dodged them again, and quickly came up with a plan. Gohan flew straight at Frieza with the discs following him, and at the last moment put on a burst of speed, putting him behind Frieza. Frieza was then sliced up by his own energy discs, and with the interruption to Frieza's concentration and his drop in power, the discs disappeared. Frieza was laying on the ground, with no legs, half an arm and an ear missing, and no energy to move. Gohan said to Frieza "I'm not going to kill you Frieza. Take these last few moments to look back on your life and see what you've done wrong." After these final words to Frieza, Gohan took off to find a ship. Finding Piccolo, Goku, Krillin and Bulma did not take long, and with less than a minute to spare before the destruction of planet Namek, they took off. Watching out the window of the ship as Planet Namek was destroyed, Piccolo commented "I found my home planet, and then it was destroyed. I hope the removal of Frieza from the universe is worth it.

On Earth, the Namekian dragon had disappeared, but Guru was still just about alive. "Moori, my son, come here, I have something for you." Moori came towards Guru who said "My time is at an end. Do not be sad, for I have had a good and long life, and I have lived to see the removal of a tyrant from the galaxy. You will be the elder now, and so I pass you control of the dragon balls. They will be ready for use again in one Namekian year." With that there was a glow and Guru was gone. Vegeta was thinking of taking over the Earth, but thought better of it when he realised that he would suffer when Gohan found out. Instead, he asked Dr. Briefs for a spaceship so that he could go and train to attain the Super Saiyan transformation himself. Dr. Briefs, having produced a number of spaceships since the one he made for Goku, was happy to oblige.

Bulma had used the ships communication systems to confirm to those on Earth that the people on ship were fine. After doing so, Bulma went over the ships diagnostic reports and noticed something worrying. "There's a problem with the ship. It isn't too serious, but we do need to land on a planet to fix it." Fortunately, there was a nearby planet to land on. When they landed, they were greeted by the inhabitants of the planet "Welcome to Yardrat!"
