Chapter 25: Frieza, invincible?

AN: Hi readers, first off I want to thank anyone that reviewed the story thus far, we've reached 150! And I appreciate every review equally. This chapter is the beginning of Vegeta's fight with Frieza. I really hope you enjoy the fight and let me know what you think of it. I will answer any questions asked in the reviews at the bottom of the chapter. Cheers, C.

Vegeta got a hold of himself. He was not going to lose so easily. He pushed himself up and wiped the blood from his face. He bared his teeth as he let out an animalistic grunt and let his aura flare up. "Don't expect me to just roll over and die, Frieza!" He shouted. Frieza laughed. "You're right, pests are always the hardest to get rid of!"

Vegeta then rushed forward, his rage increasing his speed. He clashed with the tyrant, who smirked widely as he pushed the Sayain back with his new and improved strength. The pair's aura flared up simultaneously as they continued their struggle. Veins in Vegeta's forehead bulged up as he put all the effort he could into pushing the frost demon back.

Frieza laughed as he continued to overpower the Sayain Prince. Just as he thought, the power of his transformation had given him the edge. Vegeta grunted. No matter how hard he pushed, the tyrant was pushing him back. "You filthy lizard!" Vegeta said, the insult not going unheard.

Frieza hissed as he butted his head into Vegeta's face. Vegeta winced in pain as he was launched backwards, right into the arms of Goku, who suddenly appeared at the scene. Vegeta growled as he elbowed Goku in his stomach, doubling his fellow Sayain over. Goku clutched his chest shortly before regaining himself and righting his back, getting back to his full height again.

"Don't interfere again! Nice to see you, Kakarot." Vegeta said, never looking over his shoulder. Goku showed a surprised look on his face. "Don't be a fool Vegeta! We can take him together! You don't stand a chance on your own." Goku said. Vegeta laughed. "Be happy that you get to see the end of Frieza. By my hand! I am the legendary Super Sayain!" The Prince shouted, his aura flaring up.

The Sayain then dashed back at the frost demon, who hovered in the air calmly. The tyrant flew up out of the way at the last moment and flipped over before turning in the air. He went after Vegeta's back with great speed, but the Sayain swirled around quickly and blocked Frieza's backhanded strike.

Frieza couldn't help but to shout out. "What?!" He yelled out in surprise. Vegeta then tried to perform a quick counter by chopping his free hand at Frieza, but the frost demon leaned back out of the attack's way. Vegeta growled in frustration as he threw a second punch, aimed for the frost demon's cheek, but Frieza simply got out of the way by turning in his head.

Vegeta now unleashed a flurry of punches upon Frieza, but the frost demon dodged each and every blow with an evil smile on his face. Vegeta threw another blow, his swings becoming wilder and wilder, but this time Frieza didn't dodge it. He grabbed Vegeta by his wrist as the Prince stretched out his arm in his direction.

Vegeta grunted as he tried to yank his arm free from the tyrant's iron grip, but Frieza chuckled at his attempts. "Why do you even try, Vegeta? There is no way in hell you can beat me now! If I were you, I'd accept all the help you can get, you arrogant fool!" Frieza said mockingly, tightening his iron grip on Vegeta's arm even more.

Vegeta growled in rage and attempted to strike Frieza in his face with his free hand, but the frost demon quickly let go of Vegeta's arm and leaned out of the way, dodging the punch with ease.

Frieza then flew backwards at high speed and Vegeta chased after him immediately. "Galic gun!" shouted the Sayain Prince, before firing a thick purple beam of energy out of both his hand out in front of him. The beam approached the tyrant at high speed, but Frieza did nothing but grin calmly as the blast raged towards him, emitting it's purple light.

For a moment, Vegeta believed his blast would hit Frieza and blow him into a thousand pieces… But the frost demon stuck his arms out forward, stopping the large blast in it's tracks. He laughed shortly, before deflecting the beam back with a powerful throw. But not at Vegeta, he aimed it for Goku, who was hovering behind and below the Prince.

Vegeta looked on in shock as his blast soared towards Goku. He was certain that his blast would destroy the Sayain from earth, but his blast had diminished in power from Frieza throwing it back. Goku was not surprised… He had anticipated Frieza's move ever since he caught the blast, instead of simply dodging it, Goku had known then that he was going to throw it back and prepared for what was coming.

The beam came raging at him at high speed and Goku quickly cupped his hands at his hips, whilst the purple light of the beam shone upon him. He gathered as much energy as he could in the time that was given, before pushing his arms forward, the energy between his hands forming into a massive, blue beam that shot out to meet Vegeta's Galic Gun.

"Kamehameha!" shouted Goku, concentrating his power into a single point. The two beams clashed in mid-air, sending out a shockwave that rocked the environment for miles to come. Goku shouted as he pushed his beam forward. To Vegeta's surprise, the low-class was actually pushing his beam back!

Goku grunted as he pushed one final time. The Galic Gun bent upwards suddenly, before shooting into space, being pushed by the Kamehameha. Goku then stopped firing and panted. That had taken every last ounce of strength he had… If he hadn't stopped that, the explosion would have been so great that it would've destroyed the planet, or at least make it inhabitable for Sayains, given it's enormous size.

Frieza looked at Goku with surprise. This one was insanely powerful as well, if he managed to push that beam away with a counter-attack… "My… That was unexpected…" The frost demon said, grinning. "Seems like you really are a fool for not letting you help him, Vegeta." Frieza then followed, angering the Sayain Prince greatly.

"Shut up! He's lucky to be alive, Frieza! If you hadn't taken the most of the attack's power away, it would have obliterated him completely!" Vegeta said cockily… But in reality, the Sayain Prince was impressed… He would have never thought that Kakarot possessed such great power… If he made it through that, could he be… A Super Sayain as well? But Vegeta shook it off quickly. That was impossible. There was only one legendary Super Sayain and that was Vegeta himself!

He looked Kakarot in his eyes briefly. Yes, he was going to show Kakarot that he was the strongest warrior in the universe! He remained silent as he dashed in at Frieza with all his might, but Frieza playfully swiveled out of the way and bashed Vegeta in his lower back with a double handed, viciously powerful blow.

The Prince of all Sayains was knocked flying forward and the frost demon zapped away, only to reappear in Vegeta's path. He then threw a backwards flipping kick that caught Vegeta on his forehead and sent him tumbling down towards the ground, before he crashed into the ice hard.

He winced in pain and grunted before spitting out some blood. He trembled in anger as the tyrant smiled down upon him from out of the sky. "Prepare to meet your end, Vegeta!" Frieza announced as orbs of pink energy formed in both of his hands, crackling and flashing from the intense energy that it was made up out of.

Vegeta grunted. He was still pinned on his back and it would be hard for him to dodge. He balled a fist and looked up before pushing himself to his feet. He had made his decision. Whatever Frieza would throw at him, he was ready to take it. Inside, he was not totally confident that he would survive… But at least, he would have his honorable death…

Frieza laughed maniacally as he raised his hands up and joined the blasts together into a single, large sphere of crackling purple energy. "Nobody survives… my death ball!" Frieza yelled out enthusiastically as he prepared to throw the ball down…

But then, the energy suddenly dissipated and the frost demon was thrown backwards, his face showing a gob smacked expression, along with impression of a boot on his right cheek... The tyrant flew off and away from the unexpected blow, before he crashed into frozen rock that shattered into pieces.

Vegeta let out an angered cry as he saw what had happened. Kakarot had flown behind Frieza sneakily, the tyrant having no eye for anything other than his intended target. The Sayain from earth had then picked the right moment and had caught Frieza's cheek with a roundhouse kick that caught the tyrant completely off guard. The damned fool had interfered again! There was just something about Kakarot that really made his blood boil. He shot Kakarot a cold look.

Goku just grinned back at him. He had saved Vegeta's life and as he had expected, the Prince wasn't thankful. What Frieza had said was true. If he could somehow get Vegeta as far as to work together, they had a chance of victory. A small chance, but a chance nevertheless. Goku swiftly struck his stance as Frieza appeared from the rubble his crash had created, disintegrating the debris with his energy effortlessly.

He looked at Goku, clutching the spot on his cheek where he had been hit. He then growled in anger, his eyes widening as he trembled. "I will kill you for that!" Frieza cried out, before disappearing. Goku let out a surprised cry as Frieza reappeared before him and wrapped his tail around his neck at lightning speed.

Goku grabbed the tail as Frieza flexed it, shutting his windpipe. Frieza then balled his right fist as tight as he could before smashing it mercilessly and repeatedly into his stomach. Specks of blood flew out of Goku's mouth as the energy charged fist hit home, over and over. Goku winced as he felt that two of his ribs had broken and that a third one had been severely bruised.

Vegeta grunted as he looked up at the scene above him. Frieza was killing Kakarot… And quickly, if he continued at this rate, Kakarot would suffocate or succumb to the injuries. Vegeta growled. If anyone had the right to kill one of the last remaining Sayains, it was him. And him alone.

He zapped away. Frieza growled as Vegeta appeared a few feet away, to the right side of him. He was forced to let Goku, dropping the dazed Sayain down to the ground. He turned towards Vegeta just in time to throw up his forearm, blocking Vegeta's double-handed smash down.

The impact of Vegeta's clutched fists on Frieza's forearm produced a low, thundering noise. Frieza growled as his arm trembled. It surprised him, but it actually cost him a little effort to sustain the block. His rage then took over, and he countered with a jab thrown with his free hand that caught Vegeta on his temple and knocked him to the side, a trail of blood flying out of his mouth and following his trajectory.

Frieza laughed as Vegeta was hurtled away. The fool, when was he going to realize he stood no chance whatsoever? But he suddenly realized he had forgotten about the other Sayain… He searched the ground for him, but he was gone… Then Goku suddenly appeared from behind, ramming his elbow down on top of Frieza's head.

The frost demon growled as he was sent spiraling down towards the earth. He crashed down a few second later, about at the same time as Vegeta recovered from the sustained blow. He then flew towards Goku, taking place next to him. The two were now hovering above the ice demon, side by side.

Vegeta growled. "Stay out of this, Kakarot! He's mine!" Vegeta commanded harshly, grabbing Goku by his shoulder and shaking him. Goku pushed Vegeta's hand away. "He has destroyed many of my friends… Your vengeance is mine as well, Vegeta! Together, we can take him!" Goku said, shaking his fist as his emotions started to take control over him.

Vegeta grunted. He then nodded shortly. "You can try whatever you want… But don't get in my way!" Vegeta said, his tone threatening. The two Sayains then looked down. Frieza stood in his personal crater, still unscathed. And somehow, he seemed strangely calm, instead of the rage both Sayains were expecting…

This unnerved Vegeta. Could the frost demon really be so powerful that there was no trace of fear in him? Even though he was facing the two most powerful Sayains in thousands of years? Vegeta grinned. With Kakarot helping him, he was sure that the pair of them would prove Frieza wrong…

Kakarot might have been a fool, he was still a Sayain deep down. His strength proved as much. Vegeta was at least thankful to have one of his own race by his side and not some worthless coward like Appule. And Vegeta had no doubts about killing Kakarot after his use was gone, might it prove to be necessary.

"The fighting brothers unite against me, eh? This might prove out to be interesting after all!" Frieza said mockingly before bursting out in his typical maniacal laughter. Vegeta growled in rage, his aura igniting. "I will avenge my people! When I'm done with you, you won't be mocking anyone anymore!" The Prince shouted before zapping down towards the frost demon.

Frieza was waiting for him and zapped away to avoid Vegeta's roundhouse kick. Frieza was now a small distance out of Vegeta's range, but flew right into Goku's…

The Sayain from earth had anticipated Frieza's move and showed up right behind him, before sending him back Vegeta's way with a powerful kick. The Sayain Prince laughed inside. Kakarot was actually proving out to be useful! Vegeta then rushed in at the tyrant who was still flying backwards, out of control.

But just as he was about to strike, his target zapped away in front of him and all his right straight hit was the after-image of Frieza. Vegeta let out a cry of shock as he turned around in the air, just in time to be facing Frieza as he kicked him to his face, with both legs thrown up at the Prince's jaw. Vegeta growled in pain as his jaw was dislocated from the impact of the blow and he was knocked down towards the icy ground, in which he crashed, throwing up a cloud of snow and dust that shielded him from sight.

Goku sensed out his power though, right away, and was happy to find out that Vegeta was okay… Frieza laughed into the cloud of snow below him. "You see now, Vegeta? Even the two of you together are nothing compared to me! And I'm only using a slight fraction of my true power!" Frieza murmured fanatically, balling his fist in front of his face and igniting his aura, throwing a purple glow over the snow below him.

Vegeta smirked. The fool just kept on going… If he was really just using a fraction of his power like he said, then why weren't he and Kakarot dead yet? The fool admired himself too much. He was without a doubt the most powerful warrior Vegeta had ever met… And his fighting skills had not proven out to be disappointing either, from what Vegeta had witnessed through the years and more specifically, during this battle.

But the higher the pride, the larger the fall… Vegeta knew that all too well himself. And Vegeta was determined to provide that fall for the darned tyrant lizard. "I'll show you! Today will be the last day of your existence! I and my people will finally have our vengeance!" Vegeta growled.

The two fighters then rushed at each other, clashing in mid-air, an explosion of noise as they crashed into each other. They interlocked their hands briefly, before both dashing backwards at roughly the same time, breaking their clash. Vegeta's hair blew wildly in the wind his movements created. He was about to dash in again when Frieza fired two thin beams from his eyes, something Vegeta had not expected…

But the Sayain Prince managed to throw up an energy shield that was strong enough to withstand the dual beams… But blocking those had consumed time. Precious time. And Frieza jumped on the opportunity by closing the distance, before drilling Vegeta down with a kick from above.

The Sayain Prince let out a deep grunt of pain as he crashed into the ice with such speed that he created a crater of medium size, the impact rocking the planet as if Vegeta had been a meteorite, or one of Frieza's space pods… Goku looked on with a concerned expression. That was quite a hit…

The frost demon looked at the Sayain from earth, the obvious pleasure emitting from his stare. Goku pondered about what was best… A head on assault would probably lead to nothing, giving Frieza's massive amount of power. All he hoped for was that somehow, he or Vegeta could come up with a way to defeat the evil tyrant. Till then, it was nothing but survival for the two Sayains…

Goku's mind was made up when Frieza zapped away. He appeared in front of Goku, just as the Sayain had expected… But Frieza's jab was so quick that it slipped past his guard and went on to crash into his abdomen, which he flexed at the same time. He grunted as he absorbed the blow, avoiding getting knocked back.

Goku then attempted to counter with a perfectly thrown left hook, but Frieza was simply too fast and ducked out of the punches' way before it could hit him. Goku watched helplessly as Frieza spun to his side and roundhouse kicked him to his temple, sending him spiraling down immediately. Frieza laughed as he chased after him, delivering a punishing hammer fist on Goku's right eye just before he hit the ground, causing him to crash into the ice even harder.

Frieza then flew on and dashed at Vegeta, who had just gotten up. The Sayain Prince grunted as Frieza crashed into him hard and pushed him back, his boots leaving deep trails in the ice and dirt below him. The tyrant was surprised shortly by Vegeta's solid block… The Sayains were a tough vermin to exterminate… But Frieza had the tools. And he was going to use them.

Vegeta tried to duck away as Frieza fainted a left jab, but threw a right uppercut into his gut instead. Vegeta doubled over the tyrant's fist as the wind was knocked out of him. The blow possessed such power that even Vegeta winced from the pain. He stumbled back clutching his gut… How could he have fallen for such a simple faint? He cursed in himself before recovering shortly after.

The frost demon was in front of him. He was eerily calm, standing in his trademark pose, his arms folded across his chest, his shoulders lowered as he was fully relaxed in this stance. Just as before, Frieza's calmness angered Vegeta to his very core. Vegeta found the tyrant's stare humiliating… And he didn't like being humiliated.

The two warriors stood silently opposing each other, a good thirty yards apart of each other. Their stare-down was now going on for quite a bit of time. The tension rose as both of them planted their feet in the ice, preparing for take-off.

But then a thick blue beam hit Frieza from the side. It sent the tyrant hurling away with stunning speed. Frieza cried out in shock when it dawned on him that he wouldn't be able to get off the beam before he would crash into an ice wall he was headed for with great speed… He braced himself for impact.

Goku looked on as his Kamehameha exploded after pinning Frieza between itself and a huge glacier ice wall. The explosion lit up the sky and rocked the planet more violently then it had been rocked before that day. The entire glacier, miles long and weighing hundreds of tonnes, then sank as the explosion sent out it's shockwave.

The horizon had been cleared completely and Vegeta looked on in surprise. That beam of Kakarot was truly something, but he had a hunch that Frieza wouldn't go down this easy…

And to his terror and partial relief, Frieza emerged from the smoke unscathed. And what pissed Vegeta off most was that the tyrant was yet again smiling… If that attack didn't even anger him, then how powerful was the darned lizard really? He wiped some blood of his chin, leaving a red smudge on his sparkling white glove.

He then pointed his finger at Frieza, showing off his lack of his respect. "Kakarot and I are your demise, Frieza! So wipe that ugly smile of your smug face! How dare you laugh, mocking my power?" Vegeta growled as he stomped on the ground, denting it deeply as his boot crashed through the ice as if it were thin glass. Frieza laughed as he flew towards the two Sayains slowly, before landing in front of them, a cliff behind the trio that had not been there before.

Indeed, that beam had been powerful. But it had caught him by surprise. And Frieza grinned as he looked at himself. He didn't have a single injury on him… These foolish monkeys stood no chance if they weren't able to hurt him... Frieza laughed. His power was just too great, even after all of Vegeta's improvements, he was still the master.

The medical station,

Piccolo had gotten out of the pod a few minutes ago, but he decided it was best he stayed and waited for Turles to recover fully. Finally, the beep sounded and Piccolo turned around to witness Turles smashing through the glass and getting out of the pod. The Sayain warrior gave Piccolo a cold glare before putting on his armor. He thought the Namek was quite the strange character, but he did seem to be a straight to the point guy… But now he was a mere weakling, as he did not possess the power of zenkai and had fallen behind tremendously in comparison to the Sayains. He laughed insultingly at Piccolo.

"So, green man. You ready to help us Sayains kill Frieza or what?" Turles demanded, grinning. Piccolo grunted and looked Turles in the eyes with his most intimidating stare, wiping the smile off of Turles' face. "All right, hot shot. Let's go." Piccolo said, his serious, grim expression never changing. Turles laughed. He was starting to like this Piccolo. He would have been a fine addition to his Crusher Corps… Too bad they didn't exist anymore.

Turles nodded shortly. "Let's do it then. I'm anxious to see how I match up against Frieza now, I feel rejuvenated. I've never felt so powerful…" He said, grinning as he stared at his hands.

The two warriors then hopped up into the sky and took off.

A large distance away,

The three stood off shortly, staring at each other briefly.

Vegeta was the first to attack, dashing in for Frieza suddenly. Frieza grinned as he leaned back out of the way. Goku had dashed in right after Vegeta and now arrived in striking range. He threw a roundhouse kick, but Frieza leaned out of the way again, the smirk never disappearing from his face. Two against one. Frieza was going to enjoy humiliating these two fools…

The tyrant did nothing but dodge and block as the two Sayains unleashed a barrage of deadly combinations upon him. Vegeta growled in anger as the tyrant suddenly flew backwards, avoiding both his and Kakarot's attack with ease.

Vegeta then chased after him with a high speed burst and grunted in frustration as he overshot the ducking tyrant completely and flipped over forward from the momentum his missed punch had created. Frieza continued to smirk as Goku followed in on Vegeta's attack with a blast of blue energy, but Frieza simply deflected it into the sky and rushed in for his Sayain opponent.

He waited until he was in range before grabbing Goku by his shoulder. He then spun around his axle and let go at the right moment. Goku hurtled at Vegeta, before the two Sayains crashed into each other at high speed. Both of them went down to the icy ground simultaneously from the impact.

They crashed landed next to each other, a few feet apart, both of them lying on their backs. Vegeta winced in pain shortly before letting out a primal shout of anger.

Frieza watched from above. He chuckled hard at the two Sayains on the ground. He had gotten the best of both of them with a single attack. He hadn't had this much fun in battle in many years. He burst out in maniacal laughter, the two Sayains looking on helplessly from the ground…

END OF CHAPTER

Okay so I promised I was going the answer the questions asked in the latest reviews, so here I go!

Q: Frieza's 1% final form is around 3.5 million, while his 3rd form was 1.5 million.

A: Opinions differentiate greatly on how much power characters have at certain times… I use my own system which gives a good indication to how strong the characters are in comparison to each other. For example: Frieza is 7,000,000 and Goku is 3,500,000 so he is about twice as strong as the gullible Sayain of earth. Yet, other factors such as skill and cunning also play a factor in my battles (or, so I hope). I hope this clears up any questions regarding powerlevels.

Q: Why in your fight scenes do people only get punched in the chin? There are places in the face that you can punch besides the chin and nose.

A: Thanks for pointing out my tendency to repeat those two spots… I hadn't noticed it myself, so thanks!

Q: Wasnt frieza over 1 million? And piccolo kicked his ass so raditz cant be near fused piccolo's level

A: Frieza is indeed over 1 million but the theory was that Piccolo was a little weaker than Frieza's second form, yet was able to beat him through "smart fighting". Raditz stood no real chance against Frieza in his third form, but he got his shot!

Q: Nice chapter but i got a question. If vegeta was able to sense frieza was goku also able to sense how frieza killed krillin? Keep going

A: My theory to clear this up is that Goku was in the trance-like recovering state and wasn't angered as much by Krillin's death as was the case in canon… That would kind of defeat the purpose of me writing this story anyway, wouldn't you think so?

So, I hope I cleared most questions up, kind regards, C.
