Chapter 27: Revival
Goku quickly materialized in a large, open wooded area. With him were many faces he didn't recognize, along with the Namekians, who had all been successfully transported, including Gon and Guru himself. Not surprisingly, all of the Namekians who had been brought back to life were astonished that they had been revived, as well as shocked to see that they had been transported to a different world entirely. Along with the Namekians, many of Frieza's men had been brought back, including four distinctly powerful warriors that Goku decided to keep track of. One was a relatively large purple alien with horns on his head, another was a small red humanoid alien with white hair, and the last one with their armor's insignia was a very small green alien with four eyes. The last soldier wasn't as powerful as the other three, but he was notably strong among the rest of the grunts, and so the Saiyan wanted to keep his eye on the strange looking dark purple alien as well.
There were also some faces he recognized that had been transported back to Earth, such as Bulma, Gon, and some of the Saibamen that Piccolo had been ordering around. Goku expected chaos to erupt among the group, but it seemed that everyone was so confused by what was going on that they temporarily ignored the others around them, with the notable exception on the purple alien with horns, who almost immediately began giving orders to his men.
"I don't know exactly what just happened," Ginyu shouted, causing all Frieza's men to pay attention to him "but Frieza's orders stand! These Namekians must be destroyed!" All of the men cheered and were about to begin an assault when Goku shouted into the crowd as well.
"There will be no killing today!" The Saiyan yelled into the sky, roaring with power that destroyed many of the grunts scouters. Ginyu slowly turned to face Goku, who was looking menacingly at the captain. The purple alien grinned, cracking his neck to the side.
"I guess we'll start with you then!" He threatened, "Jeice, kill him." Ordered the captain, Jeice nodded and flew towards the Saiyan. He effortlessly dodged the red skinned aliens attack and rammed his fist straight into Jeice's stomach, causing him to vomit blood, as well as forcing his eyes to bulge nearly out of their sockets. Jeice's body skidded across the ground at incredible speeds, knocking down many of Frieza's man before it finally crashed into a very sturdy tree. Ginyu, who had followed Jeice's movements, quickly turned to face Goku, whose face was contorted with anger. With no warning at all, the Saiyan sped towards Ginyu in a flash, ramming his knee straight into his torso, causing him to fall into unconsciousness almost immediately. Goku shot back and landed on the ground in front of all of the people who had been teleported to the area, looking around to find that he had everyone's attention. His face quickly changed from one of menace to a more benevolent one.
"Hello everyone!" He shouted to the crowds, causing some of Frieza's men to wave at the Saiyan. "My name is Goku, and as you can plainly see, I'm stronger than all of you." No one in the crowed disputed the claim, not after seeing what he did to the famous captain Ginyu. "So don't try anything or I'll have to knock you out, just like I did to that guy." Goku said, pointing towards Ginyu. As he looked around, most of the faces of Frieza's men were contorted in shock. "Understood?" Goku asked, almost all of Frieza's soldiers nodded in agreement. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have something I need to address." The Saiyan turned from the group and concentrated on four particular individuals…
Amongst the barren wastes, three men's eyes shot open at the same time. Yamcha and Tien quickly rose up and brushed themselves off before feeling a familiar power. Vegeta was in a state of shock. He had absolutely no idea what had just happened, considering the last thing he remembered was talking to the Namek before blacking out. As soon as his muscle allowed him to, the Saiyan was back on his feet, staring down the two humans that were cautiously observing him. One he recognized quite clearly as the one who he crushed whilst in his great ape form, while the other he hadn't been able to fight. Off in the distance, the three of them heard a quick shuffle, and then a blur moving behind a rock. Vegeta also knew who this idiot was.
However, the prince wasn't concerned with him now. He intended on figuring out why he had suddenly been brought back from death when he had made it so abundantly clear that he was hell bent on destroying Earth. Vegeta turned his attention to the three eyed human, who looked much more menacing than the one in orange.
"Hey, you, three eyes" Vegeta remarked, causing Tien to grunt "where the hell is that Namekian, or Kakarot for that matter?" He shouted, irritating both of the humans.
"Why should we even tell you? You came here to kill all of us!" Yamcha replied, clenching a fist and thrusting it in the air towards Vegeta defiantly.
"Yet in the end I only managed to kill that fat bastard hiding behind a mountain over there!" Vegeta growled menacingly. Both Tien and Yamcha took up fighting stances.
"We should kill you right now!" Tien shouted towards the Saiyan, Yamcha nodded his head in agreement, readying himself for battle. However, a familiar voice chimed in just before they were about to attack.
'Guys, whatever you do, don't attack Vegeta!' Goku telepathically told both Yamcha and Tien, who grunted in response. 'Please, bring him to my location. I'll explain why I want him alive later.' Both of the humans looked at each other and nodded begrudgingly.
"Guess it's your lucky day Vegeta, Goku wants us to bring you to him instead of beating the tar out of you." Tien said snidely, Yamcha laughed at the comment. Vegeta, however, didn't find the statement amusing.
"I don't take orders from a low class Saiyan, and you two will bow before me just before I end your lives!" Vegeta roared, his aura shooting outward as he began to power himself up. Yamcha and Tien looked at each other and grinned, the former bandit pointed at himself and nodded, as did the other human.
"We've been doing some training, Vegeta." Yamcha boasted, getting in a fighting stance "Even learned a few things from a Kai, too." Yamcha's aura too grew to a great level, his power seeming to match Vegeta's.
Annoyed, the prince blasted off towards the arrogant human, throwing a punch that Yamcha blocked, followed by another punch that the human was also able to block. Vegeta flew back and had a look of astonishment upon his face.
"You, you're even stronger than the Namekian!" Vegeta stated, causing Yamcha to chuckle "But I saw you die! How have you gotten stronger?!" Yamcha shrugged, smiling as he did so.
"Doesn't really matter, does it?" Yamcha claimed, "after all, how could a pathetic human like me rival the great prince of all Saiyans?" This comment enraged Vegeta beyond words. He wouldn't be made a fool of by this worm, he would show this fool what it meant to mess with the greatest warrior in the galaxy!
Vegeta rushed at Yamcha again, who dodged the Saiyans furious attacks. The human seemed to not even be putting any effort into the fight, gliding around Vegeta's attacks like they were nothing. With every missed attack, Vegeta's expression grew into one of rage and contempt, wanting nothing more than to destroy this human and regain his pride after being killed by a pathetic Namekian. The Saiyan switched his plan and shot up into the sky; Yamcha quickly followed and finally went on the offensive, throwing punches that Vegeta could block. The two were locked for only a few seconds before Vegeta was able to deflect one of Yamcha's arms and strike him in the abdomen. The human flew back a few feet before regaining his composure, not taking his eyes off of Vegeta for a second.
The Saiyan quickly loosed many balls of ki at Yamcha, who deflected many on them into the ground below. Tien didn't seem to mind, as he allowed them to fall all around him, deflecting those that came near. Vegeta quickly realized this tactic wasn't working and decided to finally use his signature move; he shot up above Yamcha, who only looked at Vegeta with a smug face from below.
"Let's see how smug you are when I send you everything I've got!" Vegeta shouted, thrusting both of his arms behind his body, palms facing outwards. "I am an elite warrior! You are an amateur who needs to be taught his place!" The prince screamed, rage fueling his attack as he charged it. A powerful purple aura surrounded Vegeta as his body surged with energy, gathering it from deep within to destroy this weakling who attempted to challenge him. It unnerved him greatly that his opponent stood still, despite the imminent attack that would obliterate both him and his planet. "There's no way you can stop this!" Vegeta claimed, beginning to motion his hands down towards Yamcha.
"Galic Gun!" Roared the prince, who thrust his palms towards the unflinching human. A massive purple energy wave blasted quickly at Yamcha, who calmly raised his arms and opened his palms to deflect the attack. 'What an idiot!' Vegeta thought, putting much of his power in this one attack. As the energy blast collided with Yamcha's palms, the human grunted slightly upon impact. The pressure of gravity, as well as this immense attack was seemingly too much for orange clad human. Vegeta laughed as he saw his attack push the human back, he knew that he had won this fight.
However, a sight took the breath straight from Vegeta's lungs. His Galic Gun was being pushed away from the planet and no matter how much energy he threw into the attack, it continued to be pushed away. In one final grunt of frustration, Yamcha began using Vegeta's energy against him, pushing his own attack directly back at the Saiyan. Vegeta tried to push the energy attack back towards the human, but to no avail.
Vegeta abandoned the attack, letting his Galic Gun soar into the sky as he quickly looked down towards the smiling human. The Saiyans eyes grew and his teeth clenched in frustration and anger.
"I will not be defeated by a mere human!"
Yamcha shook his head, "I don't have time for this, I've gotta go see Goku." He shifted into a martial arts stance, seemingly readying for a final strike.
Vegeta's expression turned quickly from one or rage to one of fear as he saw Yamcha's aura turn red.
"Kaio-Ken!" The human shouted, exploding with power. Yamcha grinned at Vegeta briefly before attacking. 'Finally, I can put my technique to good use!' "Wolf Fang Fist!"
The human sped towards the Saiyan at speeds that his mind couldn't comprehend, thrusting his leg first at Vegeta, landing a hit directly on his face. Yamcha proceeded to thrust his palms at Vegeta's head, causing the Saiyan to fly back a bit with each blow. Finally, to finish off his ultimate technique, Yamcha thrust both of his palms together, blasting Vegeta straight in the face, sending him flying towards the ground at immense speeds. As he hit the earth, a crater formed and it was clear to the two fighters that Vegeta was out cold.
Yamcha's aura faded as he landed next to Vegeta's body, picking it up and throwing it over his shoulder.
"That must have felt good." Tien commented. Yamcha smiled and nodded, feeling like he had accomplished something.
Goku had finally gotten everyone calmed down by the time Yamcha and Tien arrived with Vegeta. However, he wondered where Yajirobe was.
"Hey guys! Great to see you, so uh… where is-"
"He's behind us, couldn't keep up." Tien explained to Goku, who nodded and smiled.
"Sounds like him alright." The Saiyan said, looking around to find that everyone but the Namekians were paying attention to him. "I wanted to wait until everyone was here before I explained what was going on." Both of the humans nodded, turning towards the unconscious Vegeta.
"Want us to wake him up?" Yamcha asked, Goku tilted his head to the side in thought, and quickly came to a decision.
"He works for Frieza, I think. I we might as well wake him and the other two up." Goku proclaimed, looking back over at captain Ginyu. The Saiyan walked over to the purple alien and shook him slightly at first, but after a few seconds he had to shake him a bit more violently. After that turned up no results, he turned to the Namekains.
"Can one of you please heal this guy?" Goku asked politely, none of the Namekian people looked very keen about the idea. One of them stepped forward, however.
"Are you sure?" Gon asked, Goku nodded and the Namekian child said no more. He walked quickly to the alien and raised his hands over Ginyu's body. The healing process took only a few seconds, as the damage hadn't been too severe.
Ginyu's eyes opened slowly, the first thing he saw was Goku's smiling face.
"Hey there sleepy head!" The Saiyan joked, hoping that this alien would have a better attitude now that he knew that Goku was much more powerful than him. As Ginyu rose, Goku motioned towards Jeice, and Gon quickly rushed towards the red alien to heal him.
"You gave me quite the beating." Ginyu reluctantly admitted, grinning slightly.
Goku was about to speak when Vegeta began to cough, having been woken up by Tien.
"C-captain Ginyu?!" Vegeta coughed out, rising to his feet slowly. He was both amazed and horrified to see this immensely powerful being, and even more surprised to hear him say how he had been defeated by a lowly warrior such as Kakarot. Ginyu was less than happy to see the arrogant prince.
"Oh, it's you. I can see you you've been getting your ass kicked lately." Ginyu grinned. Some of the bystanders began to laugh, not at Vegeta, but at Ginyu for his hypocritical humor.
"Speak for yourself!" Goku retorted, causing others to begin laughing as well. Even Vegeta briefly smiled. Ginyu looked around to find that even Guldo was chuckling.
"Shut up Guldo!" Ginyu quietly shouted at the green alien, who muffled his laughter behind his hands. Ginyu turned his attention to Goku once more, inching closer to him. "I'm sorry about trying to kill everyone." The horned alien apologized, not truly meaning a word of what he had just said "perhaps we can start over." Ginyu put his hand out towards Goku, signaling for a hand shake. Goku was about to go for it when Vegeta shouted.
"Kakarot, move!" The prince shouted, almost instinctively, Goku began to dodge out of the way as Ginyu opened his mouth.
"Body change!" Out of Ginyu's mouth came a very light, transparent beam that Goku was able to avoid, sending it off into the distance. Missing his target caused Ginyu to sigh and fall back, looking at Vegeta in contempt. "You little rat!" He shouted, almost ready to strike "You work for Lord Frieza! Why would you help this fool?"
Vegeta grinned as Goku began to fully grasp what had happened. "I never liked you or your pathetic warriors Ginyu." Vegeta explained, leaning back on a tree "At least Kakarot is a Saiyan." Goku nodded and turned toward Ginyu, staring him straight in the eye.
"I know your trick now, try anything like that again and I will kill you." The usually gentle Saiyan threatened, causing Ginyu to gulp hard, knowing that he had no chance of winning a fight with this particular Saiyan. Noticing that everyone was awake and paying attention, Goku decided that now would be a good time to explain the situation. He turned away from the group and walked over towards a rock, jumping up on top of it to get a better view of whom he would be speaking to.
Goku cleared his throat, and began to speak to the groups; "Everyone, now that I have your attention I can explain why you're all here, and what's going on." Those who weren't interested in what Goku was saying now became very intent of listening to his every word. "You see, almost every one of you has, at some point, been killed." The Saiyan explained, seeing confused faces amongst the masses of Frieza's soldiers. "I'm sure that a lot of you don't have any idea what's going on, but the basic gist is that you were wished back using the Dragon Balls!" Captain Ginyu as well as his men all looked shocked, thinking for a moment that Frieza had used a wish to bring them all back to life.
"What about Lord Frieza?" Jeice interjected, causing some of Frieza's men to join in and ask where their boss was. Goku was more than happy to explain.
"Frieza is currently in a battle between the Namekian Piccolo, and my son Gohan." An uproar exploded in the ranks of Frieza's army. None of them had ever heard of Frieza fighting, and certainly had no idea that anyone could match Frieza in power. Vastly more confused, however, were the likes of Ginyu and Vegeta, one of whom knew the deep depths of Frieza's power.
"You're lying; no one has ever been able to match Lord Frieza's power!" Ginyu shouted, causing Frieza's men to roar with agreement.
"I'm not lying!" Goku yelled, his aura expanding in an attempt to calm the crowd. His energy was so immense that all of the Namekians were in sheer awe; they had never felt such an insane amount of power before this. Those who could not sense energy were simply in awe at the vibrant aura that the Saiyan exuded. "I fought Frieza myself." Goku explained. Vegeta's jaw dropped when he heard Goku's words, not believing him for a moment.
"Ginyu is right. Not even you could hope to touch Frieza, Kakarot!" Vegeta retorted. Goku had heard enough.
"Believe what you want, but I need to know what's going on." Goku told the crowd, "I'll try to have King Kai show you all what's happening right now on Namek."
The Saiyan closed his eyes, yet kept a close watch on Ginyu's energy signal as he attempted to telepathically communicate with his old mentor.
'King Kai, I need your help with something.' The North Kai didn't say a word; it appeared he was too deeply in thought to respond. After a few moments, Goku attempted to communicate with him once more 'King Kai? Please, I need to know what's going on with Gohan and Frieza!' Upon hearing Frieza's name, King Kai snapped out of whatever it is he was thinking and babbled for a few seconds about how strong Frieza was.
'Sure, of course Goku.' King Kai complied, trying to patch Goku's telepathic abilities to the fight on Namek.
'One more thing, could you please show all of these people what's going on?'
'Only briefly,' He replied 'If I connect with their minds too long they might suffer severe headaches.' Goku swore he could hear Krillin chuckle in the background. Goku opened his eyes to see that all of Frieza's soldiers, as well as Vegeta and the Namekians were in a trance like state; their eyes wide open with dumfounded looks upon their faces. It lasted only a few moments before they all regained their senses. None of them knew exactly what to say.
"You all saw it didn't you?" Goku shouted, many of the men began quietly chattering amongst themselves. Ginyu seemed to be the one who was most disturbed.
"This… this isn't right!" The purple alien screamed, clenching his fists in anger "Lord Frieza is infallible!"
"That's enough, Ginyu." Vegeta interrupted, causing the captain to give Vegeta a death glare "We all saw it. Frieza's met his match." The newly revived Saiyan sighed and slouched to the ground, resting his arm on his knee. He had seen something that disturbed him greatly, the child that killed Nappa now had golden hair, and according to an old legend he had heard while his planet was still around…
'No, that's preposterous.' Vegeta assured himself, not wanting to believe for a moment that a mere child could have achieved such a level of power.
"Vegeta's right Cap'n…" The red skinned alien admitted, hoping that his captain wouldn't get himself killed. "Maybe we should just get out of here." Ginyu sighed, calming down slightly. He turned to Jeice and was about to agree.
"No, no one here is leaving until Frieza is dealt with." Goku ordered, causing many of the people in Frieza's army to shout and scream in protest.
"What about our families, huh?" One soldier yelled out.
"We'll be out of a job!" Another pointed out, causing a second uproar in the crowd. Goku's head began to pound, he wasn't ready to deal with all of this yet, but he knew he had to keep order.
"That's enough!" Goku roared, loud enough and with enough force to create a crater below him. Some of Frieza's men had been knocked off their feet and were crawling backwards in fear. The entire area went silent, and the frustrated Saiyan surveyed all the faces surrounding him. "I don't care what you do after Frieza is dead. You can leave to your families and you can try to find a new job. You can even stay here on Earth and start a new life!" Goku balled his hands into fists, intimidating the soldiers "but you will not. leave. this. spot." The Saiyan paused and looked at the frightened faces of all of the men, hoping that he wouldn't have to fight any of them. "Until I tell you that you can. Is that clear?" Only a handful of the soldiers nodded, with many of the others being too afraid to respond. Goku decided to try again. "Is that clear?!" He shouted, most of the men were now nodding backing away, hoping that they wouldn't be attacked by this strange and powerful being.
Goku sighed; never had he had to be the one to control a crowd. It was a tough task, and he knew that he wasn't cut out for it, but he figured that he had done a good enough job thus far. Tien approached Goku cautiously, wondering if Goku had somehow been changed by Piccolo.
"Hey, Goku." The three eyed man asked, genuinely afraid that his friend may have been affected negatively by the recent events. "Are you alright?"
Goku shook his head, closing his eyes as he looked to the ground. Yamcha approached him as well, followed by Bulma.
"We're here for you Goku, please don't let Piccolo get to you." Bulma said, resting her hand on Goku's back. She caught Yamcha's eyes for a moment, but his were filled with sadness as well.
"Yeah, don't worry about him. When he comes back with Gohan, we'll be able to get him back for all he's done to us." Yamcha reassured his friend, hoping that they truly would be able to return Gohan to his father.
Goku shook his head once more, lifting it and putting on a false smile for his friends.
"Don't worry guys, I can handle it." Tien and Yamcha nodded, while Bulma was skeptical. She kept it to herself, however.
"I need to find Chiaotzu; I'll be back as soon as I talk to him." Tien requested, Goku nodded in agreement and the human was instantly off. Yamcha pat his friend on the back once more before he looked towards Bulma. She was nearly crying, but Yamcha had yet to figure out why.
"Bulma, why are you…"
"It's complicated." Bulma explained, interrupting Yamcha. The human swallowed hard and looked away for a moment, but turned back to Bulma and walked closer to her. By this time, Goku had already walked away and closed his eyes, attempting to sense Gohan's battle with Frieza.
"I want to know, Bulma. I missed you so much while I was gone." He said in earnest, grabbing onto Bulma's hands as she almost began to cry.
As the people on Earth were adjusting to what had recently happened, Gohan was struggling in his fight against Frieza. The two had been locked in a grueling match of hit and run for what seemed to be an eternity; Frieza seemed to keep the upper hand however. Ever since he witnessed the Dragon Balls disappear, he had been even more ruthless than before, brutally pounding on Gohan whenever the opportunity presented itself. Up until now, Piccolo had yet to interrupt their battle, hoping to wait for the right time to strike, or at least an opportunity to save Gohan from a fatal injury. He noticed that Frieza began showing signs of weakness, hesitating after a punch for a brief moment before going on the assault again, and decided that now would be a perfect time to strike. Piccolo blasted off towards the muscular tyrant, who was too busy throwing punches at Gohan to notice the Namekian honing in on him.
As Frieza raised his left arm for momentum, Piccolo rammed a devastating kick into his side, causing Frieza to scream in pain as he flew to the side. Gohan ignored Piccolo, who he viewed as only a minor distraction from his simple minded rage. It appeared as if the boy had completely forgotten about his master, but in truth this new power had completely blinded him. Gohan blasted off towards Frieza, slamming his fist into his face while the tyrant was attempting to balance himself in the sky. The attack sent Frieza soaring into the ground below, but only for a moment, as Frieza and Gohan flew at each other and clashed in the sky, dodging and throwing as many punches as they could. Piccolo could barely keep up with their movements, and it seemed that Frieza had also completely forgotten that the Namekian was even there in the first place. As far as the two opponents were concerned, they were the only two people in the area, no one else mattered but who they were currently fighting.
Frieza landed a hit on Gohan that launched the boy into the air; Piccolo followed the movements as Frieza quickly followed up with a kick to Gohan's stomach. The boy fell downwards at an incredible rate, but was able to catch himself midair, flipping his body to face the ground. Gohan somehow was able to block Frieza's knee, flying backwards and firing an energy attack at the alien. Frieza easily swat the attack away, breathing heavily while he began to smile. Gohan's irises were still gone, but it was clear from the boy's expression that he was losing energy fast.
Gohan shot towards Frieza, throwing a punch that the tyrant ducked under. Using the miss to his advantage, Gohan thrust his knee into Frieza's face, forcing him to reel back in pain. Gohan then threw another quick punch downwards towards Frieza's head, only to be met with thin air. He had disappeared and repapered just as quickly, right behind the kid with both of his arms raised and hands clamped together. Before Piccolo could react, Frieza had already slammed his fists into Gohan's back, forcing the child to crash into the ground.
"If you know what's good for you," Frieza started to say, taking a breath "you'll stay down th-" before Frieza could finish, Gohan let out a menacing roar. All of the dust in the area flew away as the boy's golden aura exploded. Frieza let out a frustrated shout, quickly flying towards Gohan, who disappeared from sight and quickly grabbed onto Frieza's tail. The tyrant turned just in time for Gohan to swing Frieza into the sky, releasing the appendage and loosing many ki attacks at his tumbling opponent. Many of the whizzed by, but some made contact and exploded upon impact. Out of the ball of smoke came an enraged Frieza, surprising Gohan and punching him straight in the gut. For a brief moment, Gohan's hair turned back into its original color, but quickly shot back into its golden state as he flew back slowly, holding onto his stomach.
Frieza grabbed Gohan's golden hair, lifting up and tugging on it. Gohan screamed as the evil tyrant slammed his fist into Gohan's stomach again, forcing the boy to cough blood. Frieza did it once more, making Piccolo cringe at the sight of it.
"I must give you credit for your resilience, but in the end you're nothing but a filthy monkey." Frieza boasted, grabbing onto Gohan's chin, squeezing his face tightly. Piccolo heard what he could only describe as cracking bones, followed by Gohan's agonizing screams. "I'm going to enjoy this."
Frieza butted Gohan in the head and threw him towards the ground as hard as he could. The ground cratered as Gohan hit it, and his hair began to violently change in color as he seemed to be struggling to keep his power up. Piccolo growled in both fear and frustration as Frieza raised his finger towards the boy, a bright purple ball forming in front of his finger.
"Do something Piccolo!" Goku quietly shouted to himself, fearing that the demon would only sit and watch as his son was killed.
Frieza chuckled to himself as he fired his thin beam of energy, piercing Gohan's body and tearing through one of the child's kidneys. Gohan's painfully agonizing screams could be heard from miles away, but Piccolo had been frozen in both fear and thought.
"I must work on my aim after I'm through here." Frieza sighed, redirecting his finger and pointing it towards Gohan's head. "Goodbye, monkey!" He shouted, firing another death beam. This one, however, was met with a small ball of ki that intercepted it and threw its trajectory off. Before Frieza could react, Piccolo rammed his own body into the tyrant with as much power as he could muster. Both of them flew back a few meters before Frieza was able to stop both of them and grab Piccolo by the arm, throwing him into the ground.
Seething with anger, the tyrant screamed into the darkened sky, causing a minor earthquake to rumble and shake Namek.
Piccolo landed hard on the ground, lifting himself up onto his knees, looking around at his surroundings. The planet itself seemed like it was dying as Frieza began to gather energy for a devastating attack. Something caught Piccolo's eye however, something that stood out from the now desolate land that he had landed on. Quickly, he picked it up and flew over towards Gohan.
"I've had enough of this!" Frieza shouted, lifting his arm into the sky "this planet, these insolent fools, everything!" A massive black ball of ki erupted from Frieza's hands, growing to an immense size as Frieza spoke. "I've been humiliated far too many times, my men are all dead!" The dark energy ball seethed with power as Frieza pushed his power into it "I will erase this planet!" Before the ball was complete, Frieza launched it into the planet, the ball of dark energy boring a hole through the planet as it went. Piccolo could hear Frieza's laughter as he reached Gohan, who was breathing very shallowly and rapidly, his hair having been completely turned back into its original color. The boy turned his head towards the Namekian and attempted to say a word, yet nothing but a gasp came out of his mouth.
"No words, Gohan." Piccolo ordered quietly, lifting the magical bean from the palm of his left hand and placing it into Gohan's mouth. "Chew."
An explosive earthquake erupted as Gohan began to digest the bean, almost knocking Piccolo off his feet as he felt the death ball boring its way to the planets core. Almost immediately after Gohan consumed the bean, the hole in his body repaired itself. He lifted himself from the ground and stood of his feet, looking up towards Piccolo at first, nodding to assure his master that he had full control of himself once more. He then turned to look at a hysterical Frieza.
"You don't have long now, do you?" Frieza chuckled, looking down towards Gohan and Piccolo "My guess? You only have a few minutes before this planet erupts!"
Gohan screamed into the sky as loudly as he could, his energy quickly exploding as his hair instantly changed into its golden hue. Frieza stopped his laughing immediately and focused on the now rejuvenated Gohan.
After the boy had finished powering up, he gazed upwards towards, Frieza who was in a state of panic and shock, whilst Gohan was calm and collected.
Gohan smirked, relishing the look on Frieza's face.
"I guess I'll have to kill you quickly then."
With time running out, will Gohan and Piccolo be able to destroy Frieza and find a way off Namek before it erupts? Find out next time on Piccolo's Choice!
