Summary: What if Goku had been more involved in training Gohan at an early age? This story starts at the beginning of dbz.

Chapter 21

Piccolo flew along the surface of Namek. Stupid dragon couldn't bring me to the right location on the planet. I'll have to hurry to get there in time to make a difference. Suddenly the Namek's head shot to the side. What's that faint power I sense? I don't' think it's Gohan I can still sense him not far away. Well he seems ok for the moment so I guess I can see if this guy has any idea about what's going on.

Piccolo flew down and landed right next to a critically wounded Nail. "Hey stranger," Nail said.

"What happened to you?"

"Frieza happened."

"Don't worry I'll beat him."

"Maybe if you were in your true form you could but like this you don't stand a chance."

"Are you saying that if I fused with Kami I'd be powerful enough to beat Frieza?"

"Yes. You'd have more than enough power."

"I bet that demented bastard is enjoying this then."

"No one wants to see you succeed in beating Frieza more than Kami."

"Well even so I guess there's no point bickering about it."

"You can't fuse with Kami but you could fuse with me. Then you'd have more of a chance."

"No thanks."

"You don't know what you're getting into. Right now Frieza is nearly twice as strong as you and if the rumors of his transformations are true than it's just the tip of the iceberg."

"Will I still be me?"

"Yes mostly. But I think you'll like the changes."

"Alright, but just for the fight. After that if I don't like it you're gone."

"Ok just put your hand on me."

Piccolo reached down and placed his hand on Nail and in a bright flash of light the two warriors merged into one warrior. "This is incredible power," Piccolo said as he flew off to join the battle.

-Dbz-

Frieza landed across from the Z-warriors. "I'm not surprised that you betrayed me Vegeta. But rest assured that you and your pathetic group of allies have no chance against me."

"Fool," Vegeta spat in Frieza's direction. "I don't need these weaklings to beat you. I have become a Super Saiyan. I can beat you all by my self."

"A Super Saiyan you say?" Frieza laughed. "Somehow I don't believe you."

"You'll see," Vegeta said as he clenched both hands at his side and began to scream as he brought his power higher and higher. A swirling white aura with just a hint of crimson surrounded the warrior as rocks began to levitate of the ground. "Ahhhhhhhhh," Vegeta shouted as his power up came to an end.

"Please Vegeta; do you really think that I'm scared of you now?"

"You will be." Vegeta charged at the tyrant and threw a punch but Frieza blocked before it could do any damage. Vegeta went in for a knee to the stomach but Frieza was a little too fast for the Saiyan Prince.

"Let's go," Krillin said. "We can take Frieza if we all work together."

"No," Gohan said. "Stay back. I want to get a feel for his power and technique. Besides, Vegeta seems to be doing alright."

The changeling brought a hand up and caught Vegeta's next punch. The two landed on the ground both hands locked as each one raised their power trying to gain the upper hand. A great aura blew around them as each one's power rose a little bit beyond their maxes. About a minute later the two were thrown out of the crater they had created by all the power they were wielding.

"Not bad," Vegeta said getting up and laughing. "But I don't think you have much of a chance without transforming."

"Very well," Frieza said. "But realize even the slight chance of winning that you had is now going to be gone. Frieza began to shout as his aura expanded slightly and his armor busted into thousands of pieces. A small piece flew out and hit Vegeta causing a small trickle of blood.

Vegeta wiped his face and laughed. "Who do you think you're fooling? You grew maybe two inches and busted some armor. You call that a transformation?"

"It pains me to see you like this, Vegeta," Frieza said. "Why couldn't you just obey me?"

"Obey you? I've never wanted to obey you I've been waiting for any chance I could to destroy you."

"You're just like your father," Frieza said with a laugh. "Just waiting for the right moment and you'll die just like he did."

"I know about how you destroyed my race but you were stupid enough to leave the strongest one alive. You'll pay for that."

"You insolent monkey. You're just a bunch of talk. Allow me to show you something that not even you're father got to see." Frieza began to scream as his power rose to new heights. With a brilliant aura around him he grew to nearly twice his normal height towering over the other warriors. His horns mutated into a more bull like fashion and most important his power tripled.

"Impossible," Vegeta said.

-Dbz-

Goku sat in the healing chamber as he felt the power of the tyrant rise. This is bad, he thought. I need to heal faster so I can help them out.

-Dbz-

"Now do you see the futility of your plight? My fighting power in this form is more than a million" Frieza said in a much deeper voice than before. But look on the bright side. It's a beautiful day to die. Now who's going to die first?"

"How about you," Gohan said charging at the tyrant with his sword drawn. The demi-Saiyan swung the sword right at Frieza's head trying to end the fight before it got out of hand.

Unfortunately for the young warrior, Frieza was too fast for him and dodged out of the way punching him in the stomach before he even saw the movement. A second later he snapped the sword in half. "I'm impressed," he said. "I was going to put on a show for you raising my power but using this insignificant amount of power it's not really necessary."

Insignificant amount? Gohan thought. This could be bad. The young Saiyan charged back at the tyrant and threw a punch at his chest. Frieza redirected the blow and delivered a punch of his own to Gohan's stomach. The young warrior recovered quickly and brought a foot up into Frieza's jaw with incredible force.

"Not bad that even hurt a little. No one has hurt me in a long time. Good old memories of dad. But then he got too busy to pay any attention to me. Anyway I'm going to kill you for that." Before Gohan could even react, Frieza flew at him and backhanded him to the ground.

Gohan shot a small blast into the ground using it to stop his momentum and speed him back into the fight. The young demi-Saiyan kicked Frieza right in the face before the tyrant could even react.

"Amazing," Vegeta said dumbstruck. "Kakarot's kid's keeping up with Frieza in this state."

"Yeah," Krillin said. "But Frieza has a definite power advantage."

Frieza flipped over in mid air and fired a blast at Gohan stunning the boy momentarily. Using his distraction wisely, Frieza charged in and delivered a devastating blow to Gohan's face sending him flying to the ground.

Gohan screamed in pain as he hit the ground and stopped moving.

"Well that was interesting but apparently you're not as strong as you need to be."

Gohan wiped a trickle of blood from his face as he got up slowly.

"I guess I'll just have to play with one of you're friends instead." Frieza charged at Krillin and head butted him sending one of his horns through the warrior sending Dende, who was clinging to Krillin in fear, flying. Blood seeped from the wound in Krillin's chest as the life began to slip from him. Frieza simply laughed as he shook his head and sent the bald warrior into the watery depths nearby.

"I'll kill you," Gohan shouted jumping up from the ground with amazing speed. They boy delivered a punch to the tyrant before Frieza could even react. Before he could begin to recover Gohan threw a flurry of kicks and punches each one connecting with devastating force. Blood flew from Frieza's mouth as Gohan's fist landed itself in his stomach. Gohan quickly brought both hands above his head and down on Frieza's head sending him to the ground.

Frieza wiped some blood from his mouth and looked up. "Well I'm impressed. I might have more trouble…"

"Masenko ha," Gohan shouted before Frieza could even finish. The blast hit the tyrant full force creating a huge explosion. Gohan began to throw blast after blast into the crater. Finally after a few minutes a tired Gohan stood floating in the air almost completely drained of power.

Vegeta gasped as the smoke cleared and he saw Frieza slowly getting to his feet.

"Not bad that actually hurt a lot. But if you think that that was enough to finish me you're mistaken." Frieza looked up where Gohan floated panting for breath. "But I see that you're all out of energy. That's too bad. I guess you die now then." Frieza charged at Gohan and elbowed him right in the face before delivering a flurry of kicks and punches to the young warrior.

A beaten and bloody Gohan fell to the ground. Frieza floated down to the young warrior and put a foot on his head. "Now I'll crush the life out of you once and for all."

A/N: Aren't I evil leaving a cliff hanger like that. I guess I could kill Gohan off here and make him more powerful through other world training. That's really a good idea too. I might do that. Let me know what you think. If I get enough people wanting it to go one way or the other it might change the way I'm planning on doing this. Then again it might not. And being nice again if I get enough responses about 35 I'll post the next chapter ASAP.
