Vengeance Granted
Chapter 8: Golden Glory
Gohan raced with all of his speed towards Frieza's energy signature, with Trunks and Goten beside him being barely able to keep up as the three of them left golden trails from their Super Saiyan aura's through the sky.
"Big brother what's wrong? You look real mad about something?" Goten said to Gohan in a concerned voice, noticing the fearful expression that his brother was currently wearing.
In truth Gohan was absolutely horrified, as he had not only sensed Piccolo's energy fade when a huge explosion went off in North City, but had also felt Krillin, Tien and Yamcha's disappear completely as well.
He was fearing the worst and whilst he didn't like to worry the younger boys, he couldn't help but show the unease that was gripping him at the unknown fate that had befallen his friends.
"Just focus on flying Goten, we have to get to Frieza as soon as possible!" Gohan replied firmly, causing Goten to quickly clamp his mouth shut before the younger Saiyan shares a worried glance with Trunks.
Drifting back to his thoughts, Gohan knew that the only solace he could take right now was that they were likely coming up on the last of Frieza's forces, with the armies from the North and East Cities having been defeated, including the group that had split off to hunt his family.
Gohan grits his teeth angrily at that last thought, feeling guilty for unintentionally placing his family in danger, and he shakes his head in disgust as he thought of what would have happened if Buu had not been there to protect them in his place.
He then pulls himself out of the whirlwind of his own mind as he approaches Frieza, and with a sudden boost of speed he closes the final stretch of distance to halt above the evil emperor, with Trunks and Goten appearing behind him a few seconds later, both looking a bit out of breath.
Gohan glares down at Frieza for a few moments as the tyrant smirks back up at him, before he then notices Eighteen lying up against a wrecked car, looking badly beaten and with no sign of the others anywhere.
"What have you done with my friends Frieza?!" Gohan roared out in a rage, his Super Saiyan aura crackling with sparks of electricity.
"Your friends, have we met before? You do look a bit familiar..." Frieza said with a curious expression, before grinning widely as he recognized Gohan, "Oh I see it now! You're Goku's brat from Namek, look at you all grown up!"
Gohan just scowls angrily as Frieza chuckles at his conclusion, with Goten and Trunks just staring at each other in confusion before shrugging.
"And who might the little ones behind you be?" Frieza queried as he looked between the two boys next to Gohan, "Well that one there is clearly another son of Goku judging by that ridiculous hair!"
"And the other looks like..." Frieza paused for a moment before adopting an angry look, "He looks like that wretched swordsman who killed me!"
Trunks just hovers back slightly at Frieza's livid expression, feeling quite intimidated by him despite his earlier confidence.
"What the heck is he talking about?" Trunks muttered nervously as he glanced at Gohan, "He's actually pretty scary in person!"
Gohan just grunts in response, ignoring Trunk's question as he then yells down at Frieza.
"You keep these kids out of it Frieza! This is between me and you!" Gohan declared loudly, flaring his aura as he readies a fighting stance.
"Oh yes, like I haven't heard that one before!" Frieza grinned as he then glanced at Eighteen, "That cyborg said something similar to your other friends, right before I killed them all in front of her!"
Gohan's eyes widen in shock before his entire expression morphs into one of pure fury, the wind kicking up around him as Goten and Trunks back away cautiously.
"You sick bastard! I'm going to make you pay for that Frieza!" Gohan screamed as he charged at the tyrant, instantly closing the distance between them and landing a punch that sends Frieza hurtling backwards.
Frieza manages to recover by skidding to a halt on the ground, before he is quickly re-engaged by Gohan who unleashes a withering series of blows.
Frieza grunts in exertion as he maintains a solid defense, though slowly begins struggling to keep up with Gohan's unyielding assault.
His guard is eventually broken with a heavy kick to his side, sending him flying off to where he makes a three point landing, only to look up and see a Kamehameha now rocketing his way.
Frieza dodges out of the path of the blue energy wave whilst it soars past, but he is soon set upon once again by Gohan, this time catching him by surprise with a vicious uppercut to the face.
The blow sends him skywards where Gohan swiftly follows, lining up a double hammer fist that sends Frieza crashing back down to land with a thunderous boom, forming a crater from his impact with the ground.
Gohan then begins hurling a barrage of ki attacks after him, bombarding the entire area surrounding the crater and causing a chain of bright explosions to light up the darkened sky.
After a good while of this Gohan lets up on his attacks as he waits for the dust to clear, keeping his senses alert and not making any assumptions about Frieza being defeated yet.
"Hahaha! Well isn't this a sudden turn of events!" came a familiar voice from inside the dust cloud, and a few seconds later the it is blown away by Frieza to reveal him smirking arrogantly.
Gohan glares as Frieza slowly rises up to hover at his level and he notes the lack of serious damage done to his adversary, even after all of the hits he had taken.
"My, you have certainly grown stronger haven't you boy?" Frieza said in a mock congratulatory tone, "The killer Android down there could barely touch me and yet here you are giving this form a good stress test!"
Gohan just continues to glare at Frieza, not willing to partake in the alien's love of throwing banter and insults.
"Well I suppose I should power up some more, don't you agree?" Frieza queried further, hoping to get some sort of reaction out of his opponent.
"What difference does it make Frieza? Even in your 100% form you're still no match for me!" Gohan said firmly, though he quickly scowls in irritation when Frieza just chuckles at his statement.
"You're right, so it's a good thing that bulked up form isn't the only weapon left in my arsenal then!" Frieza declared smugly, before opening his hands wide in a taunting manner as his energy began swirling around him.
Then, with a burst of shining bright light Frieza is obscured from Gohan's vision, forcing the Saiyan to cover his eyes as Frieza's form is enveloped in a glowing golden aura.
The light soon dies down and Gohan quickly looks over to Frieza, where he sees to his shock that the tyrant has changed into a completely new form, his body now enveloped in golden light that matches the new coloring of his once white exterior.
He watches fearfully as he notices the energy that was now emanating from the space emperor, indicating that Frieza had been holding back massively up until this point.
"This new power of his is unbelievable! How could he have gotten this much stronger in only a year?" Gohan thought incredulously to himself, thinking that the only way someone could gain this much power would be through the Room of Spirit and Time.
"Impressed are we? I'm not a fan of the color due to your Super Saiyan form, but the strength it grants me more than makes up for that!" Frieza said with an arrogant grin, enjoying the look of bewilderment that was etched onto his opponent's face.
Gohan pulls himself together as he growls in frustration, before charging at Frieza with a burst of speed, aiming a punch directly at the tyrant's head.
He is only somewhat surprised when Frieza catches it easily, and Gohan frowns in concern as he found Frieza's movements quite hard to see.
"Oh dear, it seems we're the one who's outmatched now aren't we?" Frieza said mockingly as he then retaliated with a savage punch to Gohan's gut, causing him to keel over with a cough of blood.
Frieza then follows through with a flurry of lightning quick blows to Gohan's torso, beating the Saiyan senseless and offering no opportunity for him to retaliate as he laid into him.
He then finishes his brutal beat-down with a spin kick to Gohan's face, sending him plummeting into the ground where he crashes in a heap, his form lying motionless for a few seconds before he begins struggling back to his feet.
"Time for some target practice I think!" Frieza thought to himself, adopting a malicious grin as he then aimed his now glowing forefinger down at his unguarded opponent.
Gohan barely registers the need to dodge before the first Death Beams grazes the side of his cheek, causing him to instantly spin round and begin hastily avoiding the deadly rays of energy.
Despite his best efforts however, the attacks are just too fast for him to properly track and he notices in panic that they were only increasing in speed and volume.
Eventually he is caught in the shoulder by one of them, putting him off his concentration and then ending up with him being fully pelted by the barrage of energy, and he screams in agony as each attack brings with it searing pain.
The rain of Death Beams continue to make short work of Gohan and after a while they eventually cease, leaving him covered with nasty holes and burn marks.
Despite this Gohan is still standing, and when Frieza hovers down to land in front of him he sees to his amusement that the Saiyan was still glaring at him with a determined expression.
"Still as stubborn as ever I see! Surely you realize that there's no hope for your victory here?" Frieza asked curiously, seeing that Gohan was quite badly injured from his ki volley.
Gohan doesn't respond as he instead adopts a fighting stance, clearly ignoring the horrible pain that he was in currently as he prepares to continue with the fight.
"Such a typical Saiyan answer, I honestly don't know what I was expecting!" Frieza stated with a sigh, before smirking as he readies his own stance.
"Well I've got some time to kill before your stupid father finally shows his face! So I'd be more than happy to present him your corpse once I'm through with you!" he continued with an evil look as both opponents then flew at each other once more.
In another part of the city nearby, closer to where Gohan and Frieza had first started their fight, two young Super Saiyans were engaging with the lightning enveloped Shisami, the sounds of their battle echoing throughout the abandoned city streets.
Trunks and Goten both charge Shisami at the same time, screaming in anger as they ram into the hulking alien, causing him to lose his balance and stumble back slightly.
The two boys then follow up by throwing a flurry of strikes at him, not doing a lot of damage but definitely causing the red alien a fair amount of pain.
Shisami then lashes out with his good arm, clothes-lining both of the Saiyans and knocking them away to crash into the pavement a short distance to the side.
He then leaps after them with a roar, and both the boys make hasty retreats as Shisami slams a massive fist into the ground where they had been lying just seconds before.
He then glances around to see that the two kids were nowhere in sight, and he growls in annoyance as begins stalking through the wreckage of the ruined street to find them.
As Shisami lets out his frustration by blasting some buildings to pieces, Trunks and Goten have taken cover behind a flipped car, both of them huddled together to think up a plan of attack.
"This guy sure is an angry jerk!" Trunks said with an annoyed frown, staring at Goten who was wearing a similar look.
"Yeah and he's real tough too! Should we do the Fusion on him?" Goten asked curiously, too which Trunks just shakes his head.
"Nah we need to save that for Frieza, your brother will need Gotenk's help for that!" he replied, before adopting a thoughtful expression for a few seconds.
"Hey what if we use a combined attack! I'll could use my dad's Galic Gun and you can use your dad's Kamehameha!" Trunks exclaimed with a grin, to which Goten nods excitedly as they then jump out from cover to challenge Shisami.
They find him wandering nearby and he immediately picks up on their presence by hurling a red lightning orb at them, which they deftly evade before standing side by side with determined expressions.
"You little brats! I'll smash you into paste!" Shisami bellows as he charges towards the two, only to be surprised when they hold their ground as both of them ready ki attacks to meet him.
"GALIC GUN FIRE!" "KAMEHAMEHA!" the boys yelled simultaneously, unleashing the twin waves of energy that combine together to spin menacingly towards their opponent.
Shisami has barely any time to react before he is engulfed in the joint blast, and he howls in agony as it pushes him off his feet to send him careening into a nearby building.
Trunks and Goten then let their attack die down as they grin at their handiwork, feeling confident that they had beaten the big monster as they proceed to high five each other with shouts of joy.
Their elation is short lived as with a sudden explosion of red lightning, a furious Shisami emerges from the rubble of the fallen structure, though appearing to be severely damaged from the Saiyans attack.
"Look at what you've done to me you little shits!" Shisami yelled in a rage, glancing down at his broken armor and seeing the smattering of blood covering his body.
He then looks back up to glare at the two boys, both of them frozen in shock at seeing the alien still upright after they had just hit him with their most powerful combined attack.
"Trunks, what do we do now! Can we please use fusion?" Goten asked desperately, the young boy shaking a bit in fear at the murderous look Shisami was now giving them both.
"Um, yeah let's do it before he can attack again!" Trunks responded with a bit of panic, and the two of them quickly ready themselves for their fusion dance.
Before they can start their technique however Shisami barrels towards them in a fury, seeing that they were planning something and not willing to let them get away with it.
The boys look on nervously as he comes up on them, and knowing that they would not have enough time to perform the fusion dance, they both prepare to defend themselves instead.
As Shisami rears up a lightning infused fist to smash into Trunks, a thin streak of yellow light goes right through his torso, stopping him right in his tracks and causing him to open his mouth wide in shock.
He then looks down in horror as his lightning aura fades completely, seeing that something had completely sliced his body in half as he promptly collapses in two pieces to the ground, still alive but irrevocably weakened.
Trunks and Goten look on in complete surprise and terror, before they hear footsteps coming from nearby and they look over to see Eighteen walking over to them with a scowl.
They watch as she comes over to stand in front of Shisami's body, and the officer looks up in fear at the furious expression the blonde cyborg had whilst glaring down at him.
"How... did you do... this to me?" Shisami strained out, his eyes widening in terror as he sees Eighteen raise her hand up at him in response.
"It was my husband's technique," she said before mercilessly blasting the downed alien, erasing all traces of him in one massive energy wave and leaving a notable trail of destruction throughout the city in doing so.
The young Saiyans look on with unnerved expressions, and flinch back slightly when Eighteen turns to them with an expression of cold fury.
"Both of you go and help Gohan with his fight. Frieza is too powerful for him, so I suggest you use your fusion," she said in a tone of forced calm, causing the boys to shiver involuntarily before they nod hurriedly as they then fly off towards the other battle.
Eighteen watches them go before she sets her sights on the Frieza soldiers who were still next to their ship, and she narrows her eyes angrily as she begins to walk over to them next.
Frieza laughed as he swatted away one of Gohan's punches, relishing in the lack of power behind it as he eyes his weary foe.
"You can't keep this up much longer boy! How does a nice rest in the afterlife sound?" Frieza said with a grin as he blocked a few more of Gohan's weakened blows.
Gohan just grits his teeth angrily at that, getting real sick of Frieza's incessant mockery as well as feeling frustrated with himself for not being able to do any significant damage.
He then readies himself to attack again before a large blast rockets through the city nearby, pulling the attention of both himself and Frieza to it as they stare at the huge display of energy.
"What in the... Shisami you absolute halfwit!" Frieza exclaimed after a few moments, a furious scowl coming over his previously confident demeanor as he notices his subordinates demise.
Gohan breathes a sigh of relief at that, knowing that his allies had been able to defeat the strong alien and he smiles slightly to himself as he notices the approaching energy signatures of the boys.
Frieza just seethes in anger as Trunks and Goten then appear next to them, both looking a little beat up but still ready to fight.
"Hey Gohan do you need some help with this guy? We can fuse into Gotenks for you!" Trunks said determinedly, and Gohan nods thankfully as the two boys then ready their fusion dance.
"Fuse? What the hell are they on about?" Frieza said in bewilderment as he turned to Gohan, only to be suddenly struck by a full power Masenko, launched from point blank range and catching him completely by surprise.
"Hurry up and fuse guys, I'll keep him distracted!" Gohan yelled as he chased after Frieza's form, to which the kids nod before motioning their arms to the side simultaneously.
"FU...SION...HA!" the both said in perfect unison, skillfully going through the motions before the two young warriors are enveloped in a brilliant yellow light.
After a few moments the light dies down revealing a Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks, the newly fused warrior proceeding to fold his arms with a cocky smirk.
"Oh yeah, Gotenks is in the house, ready to kick some evil alien butt!" Gotenks said as he looked over to Frieza and Gohan, before quickly boosting off towards them.
Frieza is currently matching blows with Gohan, the tyrant starting to lose his cool from the surprise attack, as well as all the setbacks that were starting to mount up.
"You worthless Saiyan filth! I've had just about enough of your monkey business!" Frieza yelled as he slammed his tail into Gohan's side, hitting the young man back a bit where he holds his ribs in pain.
"And you're dying first, then those two brats and then Goku, Vegeta and all the rest of your damned-" he continued before being abruptly cut off by a heavy kick to the side of his head, sending him flying into the dirt where he face-plants into the ground.
Frieza growls in a bitter rage as he looks up to see the newly fused Gotenks, standing there with a smug expression whilst staring arrogantly at him.
"Sup Frieza, the names Gotenks, and be prepared to get your ugly face whooped!" Gotenks declared proudly, earning him a hiss of fury from Frieza and a light chuckle from Gohan.
"Who the hell are you? What happened to those kids?" Frieza said in annoyed confusion, glancing around cautiously as he doesn't see the young Saiyans anywhere.
"They're gone, replaced by the awesomeness of yours truly!" Gotenks said as he gave Frieza a thumbs up.
Frieza just glares at the punk before he lunges at the fused warrior, forcing Gotenks to swiftly pull his arm up to block, where he then frowns slightly at the strike.
"You're pretty strong, so I guess we'll have to end this quickly!" Gotenks said as he kicked at Frieza, though the tyrant quickly counters with a block from his knee.
"If you think that a couple of Saiyan twerps fusing is going to be a match for me, then you're sorely mistaken!" Frieza yelled angrily as he grabbed with both hands onto Gotenks arm, catching him off guard as he then proceeded to spin him around in a circular motion.
Gotenks is waved about for a short while before being hurled up into the air, where Frieza then summons twin Death Saucers to chase down the flailing fighter.
Gohan's eyes widen at Frieza's move and he quickly attempts to intervene, until Frieza unexpectedly hurls one of the saucers at him instead, forcing him to evade the razor sharp disk.
Gotenks meanwhile composes himself in mid-air, and after a brief moment of dizziness immediately ducks to avoid getting his head sliced off by Frieza's energy disk.
He then stares back in shock as the attack halts before coming right back at him from behind, forcing him to fly away whilst the deadly blade chases after him.
Meanwhile Gohan is struggling to stay ahead of his own saucer, and it appears on the verge of hitting him before he suddenly gets an idea.
He spins round to face the pursuing disk and places his fingers to his forehead, quickly charging Piccolo's signature attack before directing it at the rapidly approaching attack.
"SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!" Gohan shouted, and the swirling energy attack shoots right at the Death Saucer, blasting right through the centre and dissipating it just before it hits him.
Gohan breathes a sigh of relief as he then looks over to see Gotenks, who had similarly sliced his own saucer in half with a Destructo Disk.
He then notices Frieza gripping his hands at his sides in frustration, his tail swishing angrily behind him as he glares between the two Saiyan fighters.
"I wasn't planning on this fight to be so damned difficult! I've yet to use my full power but even still, I shouldn't have to bother for these lesser scum!" Frieza thought bitterly to himself, watching as Gohan and Gotenks move up to face him once again.
"I suppose I could always use the Dragon Balls to get rid of them... wait what's happening over there?" he continued as he glanced over to his ship in surprise, detecting that his soldiers were quickly being killed one by one as piercing beams of yellow energy lit up their location.
Before he has time to think on that further he is suddenly trapped by several rings of energy, constricting him around multiple points of his body and not allowing him to move at all.
"Alright, take that Frieza! How do you like my Galactic Donuts?" Gotenks said with a grin, earning him an enraged look from Frieza in response.
Then, with a massive explosion of power the energy restraints are completely destroyed, forcing Gotenks and Gohan to be pushed backwards as gusts of wind, mixed with searing golden flames and arcs of lightning scour their bodies.
The two of them then look up to see that Frieza's eyes, like his officers before him, have been taken over by a bright golden glow, with matching flames and lightning sparks that wreath his form in a deadly display of power.
"What sort of power does he possess? It's like the two energies that his allies had but combined!" Gohan thought fearfully, noticing to his horror that Frieza's energy was breaking through the already massive limits of his previous golden form.
He watches on in shock as Frieza then flies up high into the sky, before lifting his hands above him where a small ball of energy forms in the appearance of a shining sun, and Gohan begins shaking slightly in fear as he recognizes the technique.
"I will not be humiliated by you miserable cretins any longer! I don't care if I blow up this entire planet, your father can return to an asteroid field!" Frieza roared with an expression of pure rage, the flaming sun-like ball quickly expanding in multiple stages to a gargantuan size, blocking out the now night sky with it's blinding light.
Gohan and Gotenks share terrified looks before they then ready themselves to block the oncoming attack, both charging a Kamehameha wave each as they stand side by side resolutely.
Frieza then hurls the shining energy attack down on his opponents, the ball thundering down towards them where they then respond with their own attacks, the two blue energy waves combining into one massive Kamehameha that manages to slow the enormous energy orb considerably.
However the Golden Death Ball doesn't halt its descent downwards, and the Saiyan warriors struggle to maintain their combined attack as it unrelentingly presses down on them.
"Damn it, I'm giving everything I have but he's just too strong! We're only just barely managing to slow him somewhat!" Gohan thought miserably to himself, wishing that his father was here to assist him like with Cell.
Gohan pushes on regardless as he stares up at the sphere of certain death, before he then closes his eyes in preparation for the end, mentally apologizing to his family and friends for his failure to protect them.
Suddenly a gust of wind is kicked up beside him, and Gohan quickly opens his eyes to see two familiar figures standing now next to him, both enveloped in an amazing red aura.
A grin of pure joy comes over him as he sees Goku and Vegeta crouched in their signature stances, both of them charging twin energy attacks that match their son's earlier maneuver.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" "GALIC GUN FIRE!" roared the flaming red warriors, their attacks surging upwards at Frieza's and quickly pushing it right back at the tyrant.
Frieza just stares dumbstruck as his energy is abruptly shot back at him like a bullet, and he quickly holds his hands out to halt the attack as it slams into him.
To his shock he is simply propelled further upwards, the power of all four Saiyans proving too much for the space emperor as he is forcibly shoved up towards the lower atmosphere whilst howling in a rage.
Back on the ground the Earth's defenders all release their attacks and watch for a few moments as they see the golden ball of light get further and further away into the night sky.
Gohan is breathing heavily as he then drops back down to base form, Goku quickly coming to his side to keep his son from falling over in exhaustion.
"Thanks dad... I knew you'd come," Gohan said weakly as his father smiled at him, giving him a shoulder to lean on as he patted him on the back reassuringly.
"Of course son, thanks for standing up when we needed you Gohan! It was really brave of you to face Frieza like that!" Goku said with pride, to which Gohan smiles and they share a laugh before Goku continues.
"Yeah it was a good thing you and Gotenks were giving it your all, that allowed me to instant transmission me and Vegeta here when I detected your power levels!" he said cheerfully, before Vegeta growls at him in annoyance to interrupt his casual attitude.
"Quit your babbling, there's still a chance that Frieza could've survived that!" he said angrily, quickly causing all of them to frown in concern as they reached out their energy sensing.
"Oh come on, he's got to be beaten! All of us put everything we had into that attack, he's gone for good!" Gotenks said confidently, before with a flash of light he is replaced by both Trunks and Goten who then stare at each other in surprise.
"Aww man we defused, that's not fair!" Goten pouted sulkily alongside Trunks, the adult's ignoring them as they continued to scan for Frieza.
"Something's not right about this, I don't sense him anywhere but I still have this really bad feeling!" Gohan said, to which Goku and Vegeta nod in agreement whilst sharing concerned looks.
Suddenly a large explosion comes from somewhere in the city centre, and all of them instantly turn their attention to the large fireball that throws several pieces of debris up in the sky.
"That's where Frieza's ship was, do you think he's gone over there?" Gohan said hurriedly before all of them swiftly fly towards the flaming wreckage.
The five Saiyans quickly arrive on the scene, and all of them look on in shock at the sight that greets them next to Frieza's now destroyed ship.
Surrounded by the bodies of all of his henchmen Frieza is standing there with a vicious scowl on his face, his form looking severely beaten from his ascent into the heavens as he stares down at someone with his finger pointed at them.
And lying on the ground where he was currently aiming is the motionless body of Eighteen, a hole shot right through her chest where Frieza had evidently put an end to her attack on his men.
The Saiyans stare in disbelief as Frieza then turns to them with a menacing look whilst holding one hand up, the Namekian Dragon Balls suddenly hovering out of the rubble next to him as they start glowing ominously.
"It's about time you arrived Goku, I was afraid you wouldn't get to see this," Frieza said in a low icy tone, his glare speaking volumes for the amount of hatred he felt for the one man standing in front of him.
"Now watch, as all of your friends and family are erased before your very eyes!" he then screamed out, motioning his hand in their direction as Goku blocks what he thinks is an attack.
He soon opens his eyes to see that no attack was directed at him, but when he glances to his allies his jaw drops in horror.
Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks and Goten were all collapsed on the ground next to him, their bodies lifeless and their eyes wide open with pale pupils, showing that they were well and truly gone.
"Frieza what have you done?!" Goku yelled as he glared at the tyrant, his energy surging as he grits his teeth angrily at his nemesis.
"I've made sure you got what you deserved," Frieza replied with utter contempt, and the two of them then scream in fury as they charge at one another, the old battle between hated opponents once again coming to pass.
As the arch enemies engage in vicious combat, the life essence of Goku's allies are absorbed into the Dragon Balls, causing the bodies of Eighteen, Gohan, Goten and Trunks to slowly fade from view.
For Vegeta however, his body strangely remains as it is, and after a few seconds a glowing halo appears just above his head as his eyelids closed shut.
A/N: Right that's Chapter 8! We're only a couple chapters away from the finale now, so get ready for that!
And for some clarification stuff, because I love to explain things, with the reverse wish at the end there you may be wondering why Goku wasn't included in the erasing as well.
If you remember, Goku was only brought back with the Dragon Balls once at the end of the Saiyan saga, and the second time that he was brought back was due to Elder Kai giving up his life for him. And with all wishes from before Dende being out of play, Frieza can't technically reverse wish Goku even if he wanted to.
Also with Vegeta and why he wasn't erased I'll leave it up to you to guess as to why that is, but just for a hint think about the circumstances in which Vegeta was last brought back in the first place.
Anyway that's all from me, so catch you guys in the next chapter, thanks Literal!
