Goku clenched his fists together, erupting in a fiery blaze that boomed out as a rising pillar and rocketed out in a break through the atmosphere of Planet Vegeta as the Saiyan's roar echoed throughout the planet like a crack of thunder. Frieza's face pulled and tugged in every direction as his opponent kicked off the ground and dashed across, cutting the space between the two in a blink.
Just as the tyrant put up his dukes to defend himself, Goku vanished and slid across space above Frieza before landing directly from above with a double ax handle slam that socked Frieza's upper section and bent the emperor over. A pushing knee strike to Frieza's chest sent the injured tyrant swerving before the scorned Saiyan took a balanced stance and threw both of his hands aside with a rowdy yell as a Kiai wave clapped Frieza away while Goku, burning up with robust King Kai's Fist aura hurried in pursuit.
Frieza cried out in pain when Goku drove his entire body into his opponent after catching up to him, throwing hooks and back elbow strikes and whipping with stiff kicks as the Saiyan turned and slammed his strikes and kicks like a whirlwind of limbs rising in the air until Goku either ran out of breath or his imagination in ways he could further pummel his opponent grew short. A double ax handle slam sent Frieza rocketing down before Goku dived after with cerulean Ki blasts glowing in both hands.
Goku cried out in grand effort while launching his Ki bullets after Frieza, one of them slammed right into the back of the falling tyrant while the other outraced him and hurried toward the ground before stopping an inch short and careening back up to slam right into Frieza's front and send the tyrant hurling upward and toward his pursuing and wrathful opponent. Goku threw a rising knee strike once he caught up to Frieza's fall and extended his hands to the side once more, freezing his opponent in place with a strident Kiai shock wave before cupping his hands behind him.
"Kamehameha!" Goku yelled out, blasting his opponent aside on a brief notice before hunching up and roaring in pain and need to hurt this unrepentant monster more even if the cost of this breakthrough is the integrity of his own body. "King Kai's Fist X20!" Goku bawled exploding in a bleeding aura of red once more as he charged after Frieza, still riding the blaze of the Kamehameha wave that blasted him away from the frightened Saiyans and survivors of the telekinetic crash of the Capsule Corp spaceship.
Goku's punch split through his own Kamehameha wave, digging into Frieza's cheek with such thunderous uproar that the emperor's head malformed like beaten rubber, spitting up blood, snot, and slobber while Goku let his mighty fist fling Frieza away while he rolled through the space between them and threw a crashing double ax handle slam to drive his opponent as close to the ground and possible before Goku vanished and appeared before the ground, sliding across the ground as if surfing it and tackling his spinning opponent while Goku bellowed in pain and thrust his open palm, driving it into Frieza's lower chin and expelling a cracking Kiai shock wave at the same time to throw Frieza skyward.
The angered Saiyan rolled upward, crashing into Frieza like a human cannonball before kicking him even further away and chasing after. Crying without an intelligible thought of both weariness and wrath alike, Goku stomped at Frieza with a rampant flurry of kicks before running out of energy and stopping suddenly as his arms flopped weightless beside him. Frieza let out a shrill shriek and extended his palm, grabbing his wrist with the free arm and propelling Goku to crash back down with a telekinetic push that detonated in a resounding cloud of ignition, though it was quick to dissipate.
"Y-You!" Frieza hissed, his fingers twitched and wrangled while vessels of blood fissured in from around Frieza's lone functional eye. "You mongrel! That's it, you've done it now, I'll obliterate you using all 50% of my remaining power! Until now I've only been fighting at 1%, even with these injuries you and your band of savages will stand no chance in hell!"
"Just 50%?" Goku muttered while slowly rising off the ground, bare-chested and bloated with spasming muscles, while the Saiyan's face betrayed the tremendous physical strain he went through just to stand up to Frieza's previous efforts and give him the punishment he received until now. "Come on, Frieza, don't slack off, give me your full power!"
"Don't be ridiculous, ape! I wouldn't expect you to understand this, but every time you spend any effort, it eats away at your stamina, at your energy. It might not be any trouble for a weak, insignificant speck of dirt, but for the strongest in the universe, that's invaluable energy being wasted on menial labor! Whenever I use my full power, it's like I'm bleeding energy and it sickens me! You dried-out insect husks don't deserve my effort, you don't deserve my energy!" Frieza bellowed as he threw his arms out by his side, surging with a rampant, violet aura that seemed to drown out the entire area with its radiance and pushed at Goku's front just by allowing Frieza's limitless energy to escalate.
"You dumbass!" Goku clenched his fist out in front of him. "Just because doing something makes you tired is no reason not to do anything at all! You work hard, you train giving it everything you have and you learn to control your strength and pace yourself."
Even in his ultimate form, the shape and color he had taken at his birth, his most comfortable appearance and significant effort pumping through his muscles and veins, Frieza looked lean, though his eyes had been different. The tyrant's look now carried deadly purpose. It was sharp as a knife. Following this wild ride of a power-up with his Ki sensory, Goku felt like a Hercules beetle who witnessed a dinosaur stepping out in front of him and bellowing a roar at him as if scolding the insect for standing in the way of its majesty while still stuck down at its measly level, rolling balls of crud around.
"Nonsense. Even this is more effort than the likes of you deserve," Frieza spoke calmly while finally opening his right eye. A pair of trickles of cherry blood ran down the emperor's cheek as he did so and his eye remained bloodshot, but he kept his dignified pose and even bowed his upper body lightly as a challenge. "Still, for the effort you've shown me today, you deserve at the very least a full picture of just how terrible I can be when I take fights seriously, monkey."
At the conclusion of that sentence, Frieza just vanished. Goku looked around, trying to track his opponent's movements with his Ki sensory. The Saiyan's eyes raced across the entire place in a desperate search for his opponent. Goku's desperation grew even grander once the Saiyan realized his enemy moved so swiftly all-around their battlefield that he couldn't quite tell the location Frieza was in. It felt like the enemy was everywhere all at once due to how absolutely wild his speed was.
An impossible to resist sweep of something adamant hit Goku's lower shins, tripping the Saiyan up as the emperor surfed across the ground with a sliding kick and whipped with his tail as he turned, knocking Goku flying. The Saiyan's eyes whited out and he spat out slobber and traces of blood while Goku's body bent in an awkward angle while Frieza's socking elbow dug into the core of Goku's spine. Seeing his opponent airborne, Frieza raised his hand and sent a shower of telekinetically controlled boulders to pelt and slam at his opponent relentlessly.
Even if they were mere boulders, the sheer velocity at which the dense stone came at Goku with, the telekinetic energy coating carrying it, and the resounding detonation upon impact left Goku's body limp, ravaged and broken while Frieza tackled him with a pursuing charge. As a taunt, the space emperor crossed his arms and turned around, whipping and smacking Goku's face with his tail without permission for the beaten Saiyan to fall on the ground.
Once the universal autocrat felt like he had humiliated the most challenging opponent that any of the savage and useless races of this universe could send at him enough, Frieza vanished down to ground level while purple gleams of light lit up in his beady eyes. A round blowout ignited by Frieza's wild psychic powers made the battlefield resonate with Goku's heart-chilling cry of pain. As the Saiyan's limp body fell through the cloud of dust, Frieza charged back in, punishing the insolence of the entire Saiyan race by pummeling the only Saiyan that could take his punishment.
After Frieza ran out of breath, the tyrant rolled in mid-air, smacking with his tail across Goku's head and sending him skidding across the ground face-first while the emperor vanished back down and took a taunting fighting pose. Wearing a psychotic smirk that translated the enjoyment he received from this beat down and utter domination of this fight.
"I'll make you dance for me before you die, you primitive scamp," Frieza gleefully declared his intentions as he raised his finger, ready to punish Goku who did his best to rise back on his feet and receive the impending punishment, defying Frieza's wishes to do him away. The fight was only over if he stayed down, was how Goku saw it. Even with hazy and heavy eyes, the battered Saiyan returned to his feet to take his beating and fall once again.
The first Death Beam of the intended barrage to crush and grind every bone in Goku's body to stone while skewering and perforating him, arrowed onward toward Goku's knee before… Missing it entirely and hurrying along to find its mark that simply wasn't there anymore. Confused, Frieza threw his eyes around before fixing his gaze upon a ragtag group of Dragon Team martial artists looming over him. Goku laid helpless, suspended by telekinetic force by a midget ghoul, chuckling through his pain.
"You shouldn't have fought him alone, Goku," Tenshinhan scolded his friend while Chiaotzu let go of him, let Goku float with his own effort.
"Sorry! This guy, though… Seriously makes my blood boil. It's like we were born to clash at some point. Everything about him just ticks me off the wrong way. He's mocking everything that the old-timer taught us about fighting and what's a martial artist gotta be like," Goku grit his teeth, trying to put out as much power as he could at this point but ending up just wincing in pain.
"You… The monkey termagant, we've met before, haven't we? Your appearance seems awfully vexatious to me but I can't quite put my finger on it…" Frieza looked up straight Chayote in the eyes with a grumpy look. His chest still drowned in a dried-out splatter of cherry-colored blood from when this loathsome Saiyan made his chest explode outward.
"Yes. We've met once before, Lord Frieza," Chayote floated out in front of the Dragon Team, ready to accept judgment from her overlord for the entirety of her group. "In fact, I wanted to serve you as a part of the Frieza Army most of my life. I wanted to be that which I was trained to be–a soldier. I wanted to fight and kill in your name, to be given a purpose for being alive, to be useful."
"Well, it's safe to say you've gone and screwed that up royally, tramp!" Frieza hissed. "Even if I am intrigued by that mysterious technique of yours, the one that got the closest anyone had got to killing me. In fact, the punishment for your insolence and countless transgressions is a painful and miserable death. Though perhaps, since you've been so courteous and remembered the lessons in proper etiquette, you've learned while training to become a part of the greatest military force in the universe, I might execute you quickly if you remind me how our meeting went. Something about you just seems really off-putting, but I can't… I can't seem to… Recall."
"Over twenty years ago, you've visited Planet Vegeta to pick up potential recruits for your army. Though you accused King Vegeta of giving him his weakest soldiers and said you weren't too excited about the recruits, he offered you. You made us fight Saibamen to prove our worth," Chayote returned to that day in her mind.
"Yes, I recall that day very well. It had been then that I realized for a fact that Saiyans were impossible to work with. Scheming and devious, insolent to the bone, yet so primitive and feebleminded that their insolence stands before you as an open challenge. I killed King Vegeta that same day, in fact, replaced him with Captain Ginyu, who had taken the King's body beforehand so that I could better control the Saiyans and have them do my bidding with none of their injudicious treacheries. It's so odd… I only seem to remember one recruit fighting Saibamen that day, and that loathsome little wench lost her head. She was the tipping point, the blast of steam that blew the lid off, so to speak." Frieza said.
"That was me," Chayote closed her eyes. "After you killed me, the Gods in the Otherworld gave me another chance and brought me back to Earth to live out the rest of my days."
"And you ended up standing before me again!?" Frieza cracked, slapping his own face with an open hand as he snorted in a manic cackle. "I would struggle to believe this verbal cacophony if it didn't describe the Saiyan puerility to a tee!"
"Wow, he really had a lot easier time believing Chayote's story than most of us did," Krillin scratched his head.
"It was not of my own volition, Lord Frieza. I merely found another purpose to my life down on Earth, I've come to love and respect its inhabitants and its culture. I've learned like their food too. Also, I adore their martial arts and knowledge of honorable ways of doing combat. They've reduced violence to an art form which, as a Saiyan, astounds me. It is a marble in this universe that I will protect even at the cost of this entire universe," Chayote proclaimed. "This planet, while I wished to return here and serve you again as your loyal soldier, Lord Frieza. After coming here, I've come to realize that there's nothing here for me anymore. My childhood friends, instructor Yuca, everyone I knew and cared about isn't here anymore."
"Oh? That useless bag of bones with a tail attached that raised you? I executed her in public immediately after your humiliating demise, you primitive sleaze," Frieza laughed out, covering his gaping mouth with his finger.
"I… Instructor Yuca… You killed her?" Chayote's voice trembled. "Yourself?"
"Could it be that nature cursed your foul, contemptible race with difficulties hearing as well? There's just no end to disappointment with you monkeys, is there? That's right, stuck a beam right through her heart. It was a death far too quick for the mockery she put me through and her demise would have been best left to the Saiyans she brought servitude and misfortune upon but I was rather inexperienced in this whole ruling thing back then… Though, it's not like a waste of everyone's time like that feculence deserves anyone's energy. I'm shocked you even remember her name after all this time…" Frieza mocked Chayote and her mentor, who served as the only paternal figure the Saiyan ever had.
Everything went black for Chayote. Her hair fell over her eyes while nervous pulses of red vessels littering her eyes sent nervous ticks and twitches even when she closed her eyes. Slowly, the Saiyan's fists clenched as her upper lip twitched and stayed that way, revealing grit teeth as the warrior seethed in her hatred and the minute layer of respect for the emperor she once looked to serve burning down before the eyes of the sovereign in question and her friends. Chayote's body pulsed and jerked in tension as her muscles began growing bulkier and bulkier with each shudder and nervous tick. Once the Saiyan tilted her head up for her spiking up hair to reveal her eyes–it became apparent that they were whited out while rampant veins ravaged her face and pumping musculature.
"Ch-Chayote…" Krillin shook.
"It's… It's happening again!" Tenshinhan moved back from the wrathful Saiyan. "She's tapping into that raging power-up!"
"Raging power-up?" Frieza muttered to himself, turning to the shaking Saiyan as she grabbed hold of her spiking-up hair and bellowed in a hateful state of erupting wrath. Waves of super-heated air burst out from Chayote's jerking body as patches of intact grass set ablaze and the black lakes around the competing warriors boiled and evaporated while the sharp elevation in temperature caused a mirage-like effect to the battlefield. "What are you on about now?"
"Damn it!" Krillin fled further away from Chayote as she cradled her head in her bulking-up hands and cried in pain and grief, clawing at her flesh at the same time as trying to crush her own melon in the forceful grip of her own two hands.
A single beady pupil returned for each eye, with slow, illusory manifestation, golden rings of an iris formed around them and began beaming a powerful gleam while Chayote's skin took a lightly redder tinge from the strain put up by her incessant bellowing and booming power. As a golden aura began expanding wildly around Chayote and an infernal blaze further washed away and corrupted its majestic splendor, Frieza's eyes widened and the emperor caught his mouth open wide in shock.
"What is this power? Saiyans only have one potential transformation–they can become Great Apes in the light of a full moon!" the tyrant kept trying to reason with someone or something as if trying to tell the very universe around him that the very thing occurring before him wasn't meant to be possible.
"You're wrong, Frieza," Goku pointed his finger to the pale oppressor. "Maybe it's because Chayote can get so mad that it gets scary and she's struggled with rage her entire life, maybe it's because of the trauma from when Vegeta forced her to become a Great Ape against her will that made her despise that transformation, she can access the power of a Great Ape at will."
"Wh-What!? Without a full moon!?" Frieza barked out in terror.
The golden gleam of rampant aura began expanding at a rate rapid enough to swallow up the entire planet in a hectic shade of white. While Chayote's final, deepest, and by far the most thunderous roar echoed throughout the entire planet, crumbling mountains and forcing lakes to explode out from their craters with sky-reaching waves as turbulent winds ravaged the planet's surface as a testament to the limitless depths to a Saiyan's wrath. Once the bright flasher died out, Chayote stood in the epicenter of the whirling flash of chaos with an emerald outline around her.
Bulked up and with a yellow tinge to her irises, the Saiyan stared at Frieza with twitchy fingers that sought to carve and rend the tyrant's flesh right off of his bones and feel his leaking insides underneath her feet. In a momentary glimpse of self-awareness, Chayote found her consciousness drowning in an ocean of black with tiny, crystalline bubbles washing away from the infinite depths. No. This was fine. Let her drown. The less of Chayote there was the more place left for pure wrath to take control. Deep down under in all the darkness, there was no pain, no grief, only wrath, only punishment. Why did she ever try to restrain this rage? So deep down, Chayote couldn't remember anymore. Her mind got clouded, her own thoughts just made very little sense.
Enough, go to sleep now. Don't think about anything. Let the wrath out and let it rampage until it's all out.
