Reformed Saiyans
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Nightmare's Final Growth
Piccolo threw several fists and kicks at Frieza but the Tyrant easily avoided every attack, with a smug grin across his face. Frieza would counter after a certain amount of attacks were landed, sending a powerful blow into Piccolo's gut with his knee, ramming his fist against Piccolo's face, pulling Piccolo's head down into his knee, and so on.
Piccolo was not the only one hit so hard, Vegeta as well, whenever Vegeta would attempt an attack it'd fail with no hopes for success. Vegeta tried tag teaming with Piccolo, whether it was with energy blasts, or physical attacks, it did not work, even Krillin's nor Yamcha's solar flare had any effect on Frieza.
Frieza's energy was too powerful for the Solar Flare to have any true effect. Piccolo hurled his fist at Frieza but Frieza caught Piccolo's fist, and held it tightly. Piccolo tried to pull back but Frieza gripped tighter, and tighter.
"You pests...keep getting on my last nerve! Just what do you think you'll accomplish by doing this? HUH?!" Frieza yelled. Frieza slowly crushed Piccolo's left hand, each bone slowly cracked, more and more, then fractured before shattering, causing an agonizing scream in his hand.
"Piccolo!" Krillin yelled. "Damn it!" Krillin tightened his eyes close for a split second as he gritted his teeth. "There's nothing we can do against this Monster! His power it's...IT'S TOO MUCH!"
Meanwhile...
"Dende!" Gohan shouted. Dende stopped flying and turned immediately to the sound of Gohan's voice, a bit shocked to see his friend here.
"G-Gohan?" Dende said, with a confused look. "What're you doing?"
"Coming to help find Bulma with you." Gohan replied.
"I thought you were help fighting with the others?" Dende asked.
Gohan averted his gaze to the ground, biting his lip, then looked back with a frown. "Yeah...Change of plans." He said. "I'm coming with, and we're taking Frieza's ship with my Dad and Uncle in it."
"I thought your Dad and Uncle was gonna fight Frieza." Dende replied.
Gohan shook his head. "No. We have a new plan. Right now we need to get Bulma and hurry." He said. "So hang on."
Dende nodded in response, and Gohan grabbed the younger Namek's hand as he blasted off.
Within two minutes, Gohan managed to track Bulma's ki, finding her exactly where they left her.
"THERE YOU ARE! IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY CAME BACK FOR ME!" Bulma yelled. "I've been sitting here trying to stay alive while this Planet rumbles like crazy on me! And you guys were just gone!"
"Y-Yea Sorry! We don't have a lot of time right now Bulma! We need to get going!" Gohan gulped.
"Get going? Where are we going?" Bulma asked. "And where's Krillin! And Goku! And Yamcha!"
"I'll explain on the way, just hang on!" Gohan answered.
Gohan carried Bulma and Dende all the way to Frieza's ship, making it back in about 4 minutes. Although Bulma needed a moment to rest for a second since she had never flown at such high speeds, after she was done, Gohan had explained everything to Bulma.
"What!? No! We can't let Yamcha die!" Bulma shouted.
"Sorry Bulma, we didn't have much of a choice." Gohan replied. "We can always bring him back with the Dragon Balls."
"Yeah if we still HAVE Dragon Balls! If Piccolo dies, so does Kami! And then we wouldn't have any Dragon Balls!" Bulma pointed out.
"We'll figure something out." Gohan said. "Just right now we can't worry about that."
Bulma lowered his gaze and frowned, resisting any urge to spill tears. "Alright… Fine.." She said. "Let's hurry up."
Bulma walked inside Frieza's ship, with both Gohan and Dende following along, however Dende stopped for a moment, feeling the powers gradually dropping. He stared off to the direction of the battlefield, intensely worried.
As Piccolo managed to make a temporary and distant escape, he and the two Earth Fighters thought up a plan.
"This isn't working! No matter what we do he blocks or repels it! We need a real plan!" Piccolo growled.
Krillin whipped his head around. "We're trying!" He said. "But every time we do this monster interrupts our plan-making! Nobody can stall him long enough for a real plan!"
"Yeah he's just too darn powerful!" Yamcha added.
Piccolo clenched his fist angrily. "Krillin, you have to try the solar flare again!"
"Hey you know the Solar Flare doesn't work on him. Frieza's power is too high for it." Krillin replied. "Even with the maximum Kaioken I can handle, it isn't enough."
"Then the both of you should combine your powers and do it! It's not like you can do much alone anyways." Piccolo pointed out. "It's at least something and we need to try it. Maybe it'll be just enough!"
"Alright...I guess we don't have much of a choice." Yamcha sighed.
"Good. I'll distract him, you two get ready!" Piccolo said. The other two nodded in response, and Piccolo took off. Piccolo rushed to Frieza, who had just recently rammed his foot repetitively into Vegeta's gut, and sent a sudden energy cannon at Freiza.
Frieza swiftly flew up, and evaded the attack, then sent a volley of energy blasts to Piccolo. Piccolo soared backwards for about a hundred feet then planted his feet on the ground and created a barrier around himself.
Frieza aimed his energy blasts and fired them continuously at Piccolo.
"Yamcha, I have an idea." Krillin said as the two positioned themselves. "If we get Frieza's attention at the right time, and direct his eyes to the sun, maybe we can intensify the technique."
"Well, we'll have to do it fast, it doesn't look like Piccolo can last much longer! Look!" Yamcha said, pointing to Piccolo. "His barrier is failing!" And it was, it was cracking really badly, Piccolo was heavily sweating, struggling to keep it up. Without any further hesitation, the two fighters flew behind, and above Frieza.
They flew high into the sky, and near the sun, but just below enough to where they could get Frieza to look and still be blinded by the three suns.
"Ready?" Yamcha asked. Krillin nodded in response, simultaneously the two released their energies, and a loud shout. Their auras flared bright red, then crimson, then dark and deeply crimson.
"KAIOKEN TIMES FOUR!" The two shouted. Swiftly, they placed their hands spread out right in front of their foreheads, as they concentrated energy from the sun into it.
"HEY FRIEZA! LOOK OVER HERE YOU STUPID LIZARD!" Krillin yelled.
Frieza whipped his head around, gritting his teeth and growling furiously. "What did you just ca-!" The sun shined in Frieza's eyes causing him to cease his speech, and to attempt to block the sun, but by the time his arm had moved in front, Krillin and Yamcha had already fired a powerful ray of light into his eyes.
"MAXIMUM SOLAR FLARE!" The two shouted simultaneously. A bright white shone upon Frieza, once so bright that it could be seen several miles away, however, it shone brighter, and brighter, soon the area became filled with nothing but a void of white.
So far bright that it could even be seen off-planet.
"Hey Dende? Are you coming?" Gohan said, as he turned around to see his friend stop.
"Yea..That..light though." Dende replied. "It's so bright…"
Gohan raised an eyebrow in slight confusion before looking up to have his confusion dismissed. "Woah…" Gohan said. "It must be Krillin or Yamcha, or maybe both of them. That looks like a Solar Flare...but...it almost looks like it froze...That's...really weird." Gohan shook his head. "Let's hurry up, We don't wanna waste more time."
Dende frowned, and nodded. "R-Right."
The two continued inside the ship, with Bulma already far ahead. Gohan checked on his Father and Uncle, his Uncle seemed to be almost done healing...at least according to the machine, his Father on the other hand needed more time. Gohan started to sit down before hearing a loud familiar voice scream, obviously being Bulma.
Gohan ran down the halls of Frieza's ship, and checked each room as he went by, before stopping himself, like a speeding race car, to find her freaking out over nothing more than a large spider. Bulma had hopped on top of something, trying to defend herself from it.
"Aaaah! Get it away! Get that nasty disgusting creature away!" Bulma said, making a disgusted looking.
Gohan sent Bulma a slightly disappointed look before picking up the creature with a nearby plastic container.
"You scared me there Bulma, I thought it was something serious." Gohan said.
"It was something serious! I don't wanna get bit by that...that thing!" Bulma replied. "It could be venomous!"
Gohan rolled his eyes. "C'mon, if he was gonna hurt you, he would've already." Gohan took the spider outside, and placed it on the ground on Namek. The creature immediately burrowed itself in Namek's grass, and was gone. Gohan went back inside the ship, and to Bulma, hoping that she'd be getting the ship ready by now.
"Is..is it gone?" Bulma asked. Gohan nodded, and Bulma sighed. The blue-haired scientist then hopped down from what she stood on, and went up to the main controls, looking at them intensely.
After a minute, Bulma spoke up. "Man...These controls...they're so advanced! I don't know if I can figure them out."
"What?! You've gotta! We need to hurry and leave." Gohan said worryingly.
"I'll try, at least give me a few minutes to figure them out." Bulma replied. "I'll be as fast as I can."
Gohan frowned and bit his lips before sighing. "Alright...I'm going to go check on Dende."
As Gohan rushed out the Navigation of the ship, and down the halls of the ship, he continued to feel dropping powers. "Damn it. I guess their Solar Flare didn't last long, it was quiet for a moment but now their powers are beginning to drop again."
After about ten seconds, Gohan found Dende facing the one and only window in the ship, it was a massive window though. Gohan walked up to the young Namekian, and stayed silent, assured that they were both thinking the same thing.
For a moment it was silent. "I...I can't leave." Dende said. Gohan turned his head to Dende with full attention. "This is my homeplanet...Where I'm from, I can't leave it to be turned to dust, and I can't leave Nail to die...at least not without fighting first."
Dende turned to Gohan. "Sorry Gohan but I'm going. I can't stay here, I have to go please."
Gohan looked out the window before looking back at his friend. "I'm going with." He said. Dende's face immediately lit up. "I can't leave my friends to die either. We need to save them."
Dende nodded in agreement, and the two rushed out the ship without even bothering to let Bulma know.
Once Gohan had made it back to the battlefield with Dende, he had Dende wait safely nearby so that Dende could be ready to heal anyone who needed it. Gohan waited for the right moment, the first thing he had noticed was Yamcha knocked out, and the others fighting against Frieza. So Gohan slipped in, grabbed Yamcha, and slipped out.
"Heal Yamcha, I'll be back." Gohan said as he placed Yamcha next to Dende. Dende nodded in response.
Gohan immediately flew back over and sneak attacked Frieza with his fist. Frieza had not been dealt damage but the attack threw him off balance.
Frieza's eyes had widened in rage when he saw Gohan. "What? The little half breed vermin?! I thought you ran away like a little wuss!" Frieza yelled. "Yet you've come back to fight me? Fine if you wish to die so badly just like the rest, then SO BE IT!"
Frieza unleashed a powerful and thick Death Beam towards Gohan, and it moved so quickly that Gohan had zero time to react. To his shock, Krillin had stepped in the way, and saved him. His red aura flaring for a moment then disappearing as his pupils faded, the blast struck a hole the size of Frieza's fists.
Krillin plummeted to the ground instantly, as blood poured out his stomach, which the grass soaked up. Gohan dropped his jaw and froze for a moment when it had settled in that his friend may be dead...no is dead...he snapped.
"HRAAAAAAAAH FRRRRIIIIIEEEEEZZAAAAAAA!" Gohan screamed. He clenched his fists, bent his elbows, his knees, flared his aura, and roared ferociously. His power spiked to extreme heights, and his aura had generated bolts of electricity.
Frieza looked with both slight shock but also some curiosity at this, before he could process his thoughts however, Gohan struck one mighty blow into his gut that managed to force his oxygen out. Of course if Frieza had kept his guard up that wouldn't have happened, but now that he had, Gohan had a strikeable opportunity.
The young halfbreed's rage intensified from images of what had happened to Krillin earlier, and now this. Gohan rapidly sent ferocious punches into Frieza's gut, again, again, again, again, and again!
"I'M GETTING SICK OF YOUR CRAP, FRIEZA!" Gohan yelled. For a final blow Gohan slammed his fist against Frieza's face, and Frieza plummeted about thirty feet before coming to a stop, a stop that was temporary. Gohan unleashed a massive barrage of ki blasts that pushed Frieza gradually to the ground, one by one.
Even with Frieza's extreme power he couldn't escape it's grasp, despite its lower power. After about thirty seconds the blasts got bigger, and bigger. Quickly passing the size of a large soccer ball to Monster Truck's wheels, then even to the size of a Massive Dome.
As it grew in size, the numbers dwindled but the power increased, and Frieza was pushed faster and faster towards the ground.
"Y-You s-stupid b-brat!" Frieza shouted, he tried to release his energy to cease the blasts but by then Gohan had stopped...stopped to only send one final and incredible blast.
"TAKE THIS! SATURDAY CRAAAAASH!" Gohan yelled. He lifted his right hand high, generated a purplish-pink energy sphere that had electrical energy surging around, and unleashed it towards Frieza. The blast slammed against Frieza's gut and pushed him another fifty feet closer to the ground, leaving only fifty more left.
However it was a struggle for Gohan to continue to push the blast as Frieza began resisting the attack.
"GO TO HELL FRIEZA!" Gohan screamed. He unleashed every ounce of his energy, causing the blast to grow and Frieza to be slowly sent tens of tens more feet. However, only a few inches from the ground Frieza managed to deflect the blast, but it did leave Frieza panting.
Frieza rebalanced himself, and lowered himself on the ground, taking a moment to think.
"Where the hell did this brat get all his power?!" Frieza thought. "And how the hell do these pests...KEEP COMING BACK!"
Frieza eyed Gohan then quickly eyed the spot where Krillin had laid...the bloodsoaked grass was there...but Krillin? He was gone, which made Frieza's eyes widened further, and not far from that spot, but Frieza spotted Dende, which made his eyes widened even further.
Gohan broadened his eyes in realization as he noticed Frieza figured out their secret, immediately Gohan rushed into action, aiming to hurl his fist against Frieza's gut, but Frieza was prepared, and caught Gohan's fist.
Gohan tried to break away but Frieza rammed his fist into Gohan's gut, then tightened his grip on Gohan's fist.
"Errgghh!" Gohan groaned in pain. The more he struggled, the tighter Frieza gripped.
"I just wonder…" Frieza spoke. "Exactly how much pain I should inflict on you? An ounce of pain of for every second you've caused me trouble? Or Perhaps I should just give you a swift death?"
Frieza tapped his foot as he held tightly onto Gohan's fist, Gohan tried to throw his other fist, but Frieza spun around and swung Gohan against the ground, then lifted him back up, holding both of Gohan's hands with his one hand.
"No no, only I make the pain." Frieza said mockingly. "You deserve something special, after all you are at least half-saiyan. So I think I'll give you something really special." The Tyrant let a wide grin form across his face. "Actually...I think I'll just give you a slow death, because it'll be just as terrifying for a child like you."
Gohan growled at Frieza and spit in his face, making Frieza send an angry glare in return. Frieza gripped Gohan by his jaw, and tightly squeezed it. Frieza slowly increased his grip strength to increase the pain bit by bit, Gohan struggled to break free but once the pain became too intense his muscles became far too weak to move.
Once Gohan stopped struggling, Frieza kept his grip on and slammed Gohan into the ground head first, causing an agonizing scream to release from the boy. The ground broke on impact and the rubble collapsed over Gohan. Frieza keeping his grip on him pulled the boy out, a severe cut across his face spilled small blood, and a dark bruise across his right eye rapidly formed.
"Scared yet runt? Cause if not, I'll be glad to assure that's all you'll feel when I'm through with you!" Frieza yelled. Frieza released his grip and then swung his lower leg against Gohan's side, Gohan was sent flying to the far east before Gohan could land near the ground, Frieza had already hit him again.
Frieza swung his left leg against Gohan's side yet again only this time Frieza aimed high, sending Gohan in the air over a hundred feet. Frieza instantaneously darted slightly above Gohan and rammed his foot against Gohan's chest.
Gohan crashed into one of the small islands, generating a deep crater into it. Frieza cracked a wicked grin and concentrated energy in front of his right hand, letting loose a sinister chuckle as he did. A purple sphere was formed and rapidly grew three times the size of a small rock.
"It appears that the brat has lost all of his fight. and I wonder, just wonder who's going to come save him now?" Frieza said. He looked around the battlefield, gazing upon Dende and the others. "I'll deal with that Namekian nuisance after I finish this worthless runt."
Dende continued to finish healing Vegeta, while Piccolo, Krillin, and Yamcha remained silent and frozen, trying to come up with a plan to no avail however nothing came to mind. Frieza's vast and terrifying power was too much, and he hadn't unveiled his final form yet.
"No volunteers? Then I'll just deal with this half ape quickly." Frieza said. He turned his gaze back to Gohan. "Then so be it! PERISH!" Frieza unleashed the powerful energy sphere and it shot forward incredibly fast.
However, the blast was stopped, behind it, was Vegeta pushing back against it, and deflecting it five seconds later.
"What?! Vegeta?! How! I shot a hole through you like I did that Earthling! How the hell!" Frieza snarled. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted teeth. "I'm getting real sick of you simian apes!"
"You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that Frieza! I'm the Prince of All Saiyans!" Vegeta yelled as he unleashed his energy. He charged after Frieza, aiming his fist at Frieza's face, but Frieza moved his head to the side, then Vegeta immediately launched his knee up but Frieza inched a few back.
Frieza swiftly countered and rammed his fist into Vegeta's jaw and then fired an energy blast up against his gut. The blast, although not big enough to completely overwhelm Vegeta's body, was big enough to push him almost a hundred feet away before Vegeta escaped the blast.
"Hurry get Gohan!" Krillin said. Yamcha reacted immediately and flew off grabbing Gohan. Krillin whipped his head around to Dende. "Are you able to heal anymore?"
Dende shrugged. "I'm not sure, I think I might have one more in me but I'm running out of healing power." He said.
"Well hopefully you have enough to heal Gohan." Krillin replied.
Once Yamcha arrived back with the young halfbreed, he placed Gohan quickly on the ground, and Dende hurried over. Dende placed his hands above Gohan and proceeded to heal him as energy rings formed in front of his hands.
"This might take a minute." Dende said.
"Then in the meantime, I'll help fight Frieza, you two guard the boy." Piccolo replied. Krillin and Yamcha nodded in response.
Piccolo darted to Frieza and hurled his fist but Frieza ducked, lowering himself about fifteen feet. Frieza quickly unleashed another purple ray of death against Piccolo's chest and then kicked Piccolo harshly in his gut.
"Y'know you worthless insects have been getting on my last nerve! Perhaps I should transform into my final form!" Frieza yelled. "I'm deeply considering it!" He elbowed Piccolo powerfully against his chest, causing Piccolo to plummet into the ground, and then pushed Vegeta's incoming fist out of the way.
Frieza then rammed his knee against Vegeta's head. Afterwards, he quickly lowered himself down, grabbing Vegeta's legs and threw him to the ground. As Frieza prepared to unleash an energy wave at Vegeta he looked to the side, hearing a loud and familiar rumble. The sight that was bestowed had shocked him, it was his ship!
"What the hell?!" Frieza shouted. "How is that possible! That's my ship! Nobody knows how to steer it except for me!"
At the same time below…
"Oh no! He's found the ship!" Yamcha shouted. "Don't let him attack it!" Yamcha unleashed his aura and immediately went to the basic level of Kaioken. Krillin followed along doing the same, preparing an energy disk as he did.
"DESTRUCTO DISK!" Krillin shouted. Frieza whipped his head to the left and ducked, the disk passed by rapidly disappearing. Instantly after both Krillin and Yamcha prepared two blue energy spheres by their waists before throwing their hands out, turning the sphere into a shiny blue wave.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" They shouted. Their red aura turned a deep crimson, and the waves immediately grew. Frieza threw his fist against the wave and slammed down on it, deflecting it to the ground.
"You damn insects! You don't think I don't know what you're trying to do!" Frieza yelled. "They're buying time! They know who's in that ship! Whatever plan they've made, I won't let them succeed!"
Frieza darted instantly to the two Earth fighters, he karate chopped Krillin, causing the monk to go instantly unconscious and punched Yamcha's jaw, sending the wolf-bandit flying. Frieza then created a purple energy ball and fired it at the ship.
"NO!" Gohan shouted, healed from the brink of death, grown a lot stronger, the halfbreed rushed after the energy blast, yet his new strength and speed wasn't enough. Frieza knocked Gohan away and the blast had crashed into the ship causing a powerful explosion.
Yamcha, Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo, and Dende gaped in horror. The time they tried to buy so hard, the attempts they made to keep Frieza stalled, had failed. Frieza had gotten to both Raditz, Goku, and Bulma.
Filled with intense rage, Yamcha released his energy and unleashed his kaioken. "Noo! Kaioken times FIVE!" He yelled.
Krillin whipped his head to Yamcha with slight shock. "Yamcha no! You'll burn your body out!" He shouted as Yamcha took off. It was too late, Yamcha had already rushed after Frieza, preparing to hurl his fist as he neared, yet, a powerful purple death beam, no several beams zapped simultaneously in Yamcha's body.
In his chest, gut, arms, and legs. It was clear Frieza was done toying, as he even unleashed a immense wave of energy at Yamcha to finish the deed. Then not even a full second later he kicked Krillin's head, sending Krillin quickly to the ground, and smacked Gohan who had tried to hit from behind.
Frieza slowly lowered himself to the ground, with an irritated look on his face.
"I think it's time we start wrapping up this charade, don't you agree?" Frieza said. Behind him was Piccolo and Vegeta, covered in dirt and scratches, with only a couple severe wounds.
Frieza turned around the two, and began to form a smirk, however it was wiped when off in the distance he saw a sight that was largely unexpected.
Frieza almost opened his mouth to gasp again, only to realize just how much these "pests" have been making him say that. "How the!" Frieza shook his head. "Doesn't matter." He thought. "I've been wondering where you've been, Raditz."
At first the two were confused until Raditz's name was mentioned, Piccolo and Vegeta looked in the same direction, with shock. Piccolo was relieved and Vegeta was annoyed, however at this point, Vegeta did believe the help was needed.
With Raditz, was Goku, or well technically, Raditz was holding by his arm, Goku was still unconscious and with his other hand Bulma. Raditz lowered himself to the ground, and knowing that Frieza was going to come after him after he was spotted, he had told Bulma to hurry to the other ship.
"Take Kakarot, put him in one of the medical pods, and GO!" Raditz said. Bulma however was still a bit frozen from earlier. "Hurry! We don't have a lot of time!"
Bulma shook her head and nodded, she carried Goku trying to lift him somewhat onto her back, and dragged him all the way inside. Raditz swiftly headed onto the battlefield, to where after Gohan had regained consciousness let a cheerful smile form.
"Uncle Raditz!" Gohan smiled.
Frieza gave an annoyed glare at Raditz. "It doesn't matter how many of you pests continue to come at me, you'll all perish in the end!"
Raditz rolled his eyes. "I'm not in the mood for talking so how about we cut the chit chat and just fight!" Although Raditz had not recognized him at first, this was no doubt Frieza. "I had no idea he could transform! And with such immense power!" With Raditz having the jist of everything from the look of their current situation, Raditz was fully ready to fight.
Frieza formed a smirk on his face. "Ready to die so quickly? Alright then, let's continue this execution!"
Frieza took a stance and cracked a wicked smirk, motioning his hand for the other three to strike first, or at least one of them.
"Maneuver 15?" Raditz asked, facing Vegeta.
Vegeta let a short grumble escape him and sighed before nodding. "Maneuver 15. Let's go." Vegeta unleashed his energy and charged after Frieza, Piccolo on the other hand gave a confused look.
"Uhm you gonna fill me in?" Piccolo asked.
"Follow our lead." Raditz answered.
As Vegeta neared Frieza, he threw his fist as if he were to hit the Tyrant with it, however stopped a full foot away and unleashed a powerful energy blast at Frieza. Frieza lifted himself quickly ten feet in the air, and evaded. Immediately after Vegeta unleashed a massive barrage of energy blasts towards Frieza which he kept dodging with simple ease.
"Is that your plan? To shoot fireballs at me?!" Frieza said. The tyrant laughed loudly and evilly. "You're gonna have to try a lot harder than tha-."
Frieza stopped, being cut-off from a whack from Raditz's fists against the back of his head. Frieza fell forward a couple of feet but quickly whipped his head around.
"Okay I see how it is!" Frieza shouted. He swung his leg at Raditz's side, which Raditz attempted to block, however despite his efforts Raditz was still sent about thirty feet from the power blow. A split-second later Vegeta came from below, up to a foot above and to the side of Frieza, throwing his fists at Frieza's face.
However Vegeta's fists and himself had phased through and vanished, Frieza gave a stunned look, allowing Vegeta to swiftly reappear to strike his foot into Frieza's skull. Frieza plummeted about a rapid twenty feet before stopping himself once again.
Frieza gritted his teeth angrily, becoming more and more enraged at this, yet before he even had any more time to react, Piccolo came from behind and sent a full powered energy blast at him. The blast overtook Frieza for a moment pushing the Tyrant into the nearby hill.
The hill broke down, collapsed all over Frieza, turning into a large amount of rubble. For a short moment Frieza didn't get up, and while everyone had wondered why, there was no time to do so, rather they took time to come up with any sort of plan.
"Okay that bought us a short amount of time, quick, anyone got a plan?" Raditz asked.
"Nope." Piccolo said. "I'm out of ideas."
"Same here." Yamcha answered, as reached the ground.
Raditz turned to Krillin who shrugged, and sighed. "Any ideas Vegeta?"
Vegeta stayed silent for a moment, before his eyes widened as he looked at Raditz. "You still got your tail!" He said. "You can transform! It'll at least buy us more time."
"I dunno Vegeta, I'm not sure if it'd be enough." Raditz replied. "Besides, there's no moon, only 3 suns."
"We can make a moon remember?" Vegeta pointed out.
"Yeah but with this amount of sun radiation, it might cancel out the blutz waves." Raditz said.
"You should at least try! Otherwise this bastard is gonna kill all of us!" Vegeta replied. "I'll help you make it, we'll make a strong moon, one enough to produce more than enough blutz waves!"
Raditz eyed over, Frieza had begun breaking from the rubble and let a sigh out. "Alright let's do it and hurry!" Raditz said.
"We'll stall Frieza. You two hurry it up." Piccolo said. Yamcha and Krillin nodded in agreement. Quickly Yamcha and Krillin spread out, and let Piccolo take the lead, which Piccolo did. As Frieza stood up, Piccolo swung his leg, although Frieza blocked it, something sharp...a very sharp intense pain had been sent through his back.
The tyrant turned and broadened his eyes. "M-MY TAIL!" Frieza whipped his head around and looked over to find the suspect, who had thrown the energy disk that had flown by. Clearly it was Krillin as it looked as if he had thrown something not even a full second ago. "You bastard!"
Piccolo tried to hurl a fist against Frieza while he was distracted but Frieza ducked, and pressed his foot harshly into Piccolo's gut, spinning his leg as he did. Then he rushed after Krillin, but only to be hit from behind by Yamcha.
Meanwhile…
"You remember how to do it?" Vegeta asked.
Raditz nodded. "Yeah. Of course I do. It hasn't been that long since I've transformed, remember?"
Vegeta grumbled at the thought of his battle on Earth and rolled his eyes. "Yeah.." He said. The two fighters concentrated a pure white orb into the palm of their hands, throwing both orbs into the sky. The two orbs merged and became one as they flew up high.
"Burst Open and Mix!" The two said simultaneously. The white merged orb expanded and blew up to the size that of nearly a city. Raditz stared into the white orb, his pupils turned red, his fangs growing large, fur growing all over his body as he began to grow.
Vegeta rapidly leaped back and distanced himself from Raditz as he transformed. A moment later Raditz had turned into a giant ape, his power had increased tenfold, the ape released a powerful roar, which instantly alerted Frieza.
Frieza stopped himself, having been trying to chase after Krillin once again, he whipped his head to the right and dropped his jaw.
"W-What the?!" He yelled. "I thought all these monkeys lost their tails! How is one of them transforming!" Frieza looked over to the left and searched for Gohan with his eyes, seeing the boy without his tail. Then Frieza looked back again, It clearly wasn't Vegeta, he could see Vegeta in the distance on a different part of the nearby island.
So only one logical conclusion could form in his mind. "Raditz!" Frieza seethed with rage and fired several death beams, however Raditz quickly rotated himself, and unleashed a small energy blast from his mouth which exploded on collision with Frieza's death beams.
"All these filthy monkeys! Why won't you just perish already!" Frieza yelled. He clenched his fists tightly and bent his elbows, his aura flared yet again, and Frieza let loose a mighty roar. "Hraaaaah! I'm going to kill every last one of you if it's the last thing I do!"
"H-His power! It's rising again!" Krillin gasped.
"How is that possible! I thought he was fighting at this form's limit already!" Piccolo snarled.
Before Frieza could finish however, Raditz rammed his massive fist mightily into Frieza. Frieza had been sent flying for over a mile and he plummeted into the ground.
"DON'T LET HIM GET BACK UP! GO AFTER HIM!" Vegeta yelled.
"Working on it!" Raditz replied as he flew over to the site where Frieza had crashed. There Frieza had started pulling himself up, but Raditz grabbed the Tyrant before he could. Raditz kept his grip extremely tight, and slowly squeezed Frieza.
Frieza tried to struggle and break free. "You think this primitive ridiculous form is enough to beat me!" Frieza shouted. He pushed harder and harder to try and break out but Raditz simply increased his strength, and Frieza's efforts were proven futile.
"You won't break out of my grip Frieza! Ever!" Raditz roared. "It's time you pay for what you've done!"
Raditz squeezed harder and harder, the oxygen in Frieza's lungs forced out, the Tyrant's muscles loosened up as the squeezing became tighter. A slight crack was heard, and fear had actually momentarily sunk into Frieza.
"Hello, Piccolo are you there?" A familiar voice asked in Piccolo's mind.
"Kami? It's about time you've come back. Did you get the Dragon Balls?" Piccolo wondered.
"Yes, they're all gathered here, do you want me to make the wish?" Kami answered.
"No. I think we're good now, let's save them, I don't want to waste the wish if it wasn't needed." Piccolo replied. "Raditz came, and he's transformed into a Great Ape, I guess it's given him just enough power to stop Frieza."
"Alright, Incase something bad happens, I'll be here waiting and ready with them." Kami said. "Kami Out"
"C'mon King Kai! Aren't you gonna tell us what's going on!" Tienshinhan asked.
King Kai remained silent, with a clear distressed facial expression as he observed the battle from beyond the stars. "Hmmmm" He muttered.
"King Kai! Come on!" Tienshinhan said.
King Kai turned around to Tienshinhan with a serious look on his face. "Well..It appears that…" King Kai paused for a second, then proceeded to explain to the two dead fighters what had happened recently.
Both shock and slight relief had dropped on their faces.
"Then they might be able to beat Frieza!" Chiaotzu said.
King Kai's face remained in a serious, and doubtful look. "Maybe...I'm not sure." King Kai replied. "There's still the matter of Frieza transforming again. Frieza has one more in him and if he transforms to his true form...We're done for."
"How's he gonna transform if Raditz has him held down?" Tienshinhan asked.
"I'm not sure, Frieza will find a way, it could be anything! We'll just have to hope for the best." King Kai answered.
"Am I...actually going to..? NO! I-I refuse! I am Lord Frieza! None Surpass me!" Frieza growled in thought. The tyrant continued to resist, increasing his energy output, pushing his arms as much as he could. Raditz had a bit of trouble for a moment but managed to keep Frieza from breaking free until the Tyrant had shot two powerful eye beams into Raditz's chest.
Raditz's grip loosened, as he let a roar out of pain escape him and Frieza had quickly escaped, distancing himself from the Great Ape.
"That's it! No more games! NO MORE GAMES!" Frieza raged in thought. He lowered himself to the ground quickly, bent his knees and elbows, letting loose a loud shout.
"W-What's he doing now?!" Krillin said, trying to keep himself from being blown away. The energy Frieza had begun to output created a violent hurricane and storm around, and the Planet to quake throughout.
"I don't know but it's definitely not good!" Yamcha added.
Once Raditz had regained his balance, the Great Ape attempted to throw a fist but he couldn't, the amount of power Frieza had shed kept him from getting close.
"What the hell are you doing Raditz!" Vegeta yelled. "Hurry up and attack him!"
"Damn it! I'm trying! What do you think I'm doing!" Raditz replied, whipping his head around. "I can't seem to hit him, he's putting out too much energy!"
Vegeta gazed over to Frieza in shock, the Tyrant had begun to transform once more. As his elongated face had shortened, his broad shoulders restricted, shortly after a purple energy sphere, with a thick and deep color had circled around Frieza.
Now no one could see the Tyrant as he had changed once more.
"He's transforming again!" Vegeta snarled. "DAMN IT ALL! Just when we have the upper hand!" Vegeta squeezed his hands furiously.
A moment later, Frieza had come out of his purple shell, completely different. Shorter, sleeker looking, mostly white skinned with few parts such as his cranium purple, his tail had not regenerated however, and although his appearance had been less evil looking, his power said otherwise.
"Wait..Is this supposed to be his final form?" Krillin said. "Frieza doesn't look all that scary."
"Idiot! You know well that appearance doesn't matter! Power does!" Piccolo replied. "Read his powerlevel! It's off the charts."
Krillin whipped his head away from Piccolo and turned to Frieza, intense fear and shock sunk in. The color from his face nearly drained, his hand shook, Frieza's power had more than doubled again. This time it was so intensely powerful, that no one had any time to react to Frieza's next actions.
In one mere moment, Piccolo was struck down, his gut was pummeled by dozens of fists, his legs were swept forcing him into the ground and he was kicked across the field. In the same moment, Gohan was kneed in the gut, and Raditz was jabbed in a multitude of areas, including his jaws and pressure points.
Raditz fell back harshly, breaking several islands and causing the water to wake massively around him, trying to envelope him but Raditz's large body was far too buoyant to fall in the water. Quickly, Frieza had unleashed a mass volley of energy blasts against Raditz's body which forced it deep in the water.
Finally, Frieza stopped and cracked a wide grin. "This is my Final Form as you can all see." Frieza announced. "To think that such...annoying insects have pushed me this far is unthinkable! However no longer will I be pushed. Every last one of you will have the chance of being tortured and killed by me!"
To be continued…
A/N: Well I dun did it again...I may or may have not dragged it out a bit too much, but honestly I think it'll give it that Dragged Out Z Charm! I didn't over do it as much this time like the other time I dragged it out at least.

UPDATED A/N: I know I shouldn't have to explain my reasoning for the things I do, and I should give a hint as to why in the story itself, but sometimes, especially with it being Dragon Ball, there are exceptions, plus after all Fanfiction is like experimental literature and more of a learning process, so as long as I don't go overboard I should be ok.
A warning for some of y'all I wrote the note below a while ago and it's a pretty big wall of text.
Okay here's some quick notes, So Frieza's third form, it has a way bigger powerlevel than originally implied, why is that? Because I did it the same way Toriyama used Frieza's Third Form for Plot Purposes. In the original storyline, Frieza didn't increase nearly ten fold, it was assumed that he had increased only dramatically enough to be able to beat the crap out of them.
One thing I've noticed is that Frieza's "2%" power in his final form doesn't really make sense. It's assumed that there was a dramatic increase on Frieza's Third Form, assuming that Piccolo's power was around 1,200,000 and Second Form Frieza was 1,060,000 then does this mean Third Form Frieza was not given a huge different gap unlike 1st and 2nd forms?
I mean to be fair, it is a huge difference from 1,200,000 to 1,600,000. Although if I had to speculate I'd assume Third Form Frieza was about 1,800,000 to 2,000,000 as a bigger gap, but then when you think about just how much bigger of a gap his Fourth Form was it doesn't make sense. (Mainly happened due to Plot Convenience)
You'd think in each form he'd get dramatically closer to his Final Form. So his 1st Form is 530K, his 2nd Form is 1,060,000 and his Third Form is somewhere between 1,800,000 to 2M, and his Final Form is 120M?
I know technically powerlevels don't mean anything but you don't need numbers to know that his Final Form could crush his three previous forms, which does make sense but to this extent? His Final Form made his previous forms look like nothing.
I know part of Frieza's character is to trick the opponent into thinking they're capable of winning, this is so that Frieza keeps and keeps the element of Surprise but is able to crush the opponent's spirit, to have truly won.
However, that didn't work for me, so I decided to shake things up with both good reasons, and not overdo it. I needed his Third Form to be a much more massive gap, so that when Raditz went ape he wouldn't kill Frieza in his third form easily.
I always say to be careful of what you change, some things should never be changed but some things can. I've noticed a lot of Fanfics either add a new MAJOR character but that Character has absolutely NO effect on changing the storyline at all, or the other way around, the Major Character changes EVERYTHING and without any good reason.
You can't just change things because you want to. You have to have a good reasoning, a good foundation as to why. It needs to make sense, you can't just say "Oh Goku went Super Saiyan 2 instead of Super Saiyan" right away just because for some reason you killed off Krillin and Gohan instead of just Krillin.
Anyhow I adjusted the power according to the plot I'm providing. It reveals that Frieza's hiding a well so deep that he can't be stopped but yet at the same time they still have no idea how deep that well is.
