Chapter #9

The Terrifying Vegeta!

The three warriors stood without fear, straight in front of Frieza. Zarbon snickered, 'Such nerve, they didn't stand a chance against his lord. Not to mention his forms…'

Zarbon tossed his hair, and then began charging up a ki blast. The front Saiyan yelled, "Guys, get out of here now!"

The blast missed all three of the warriors, but gave them a good taste of just how powerful Zarbon was. Laughing, Zarbon chased after the Z Fighters.

Frieza watched, unamused, "Well, there goes another lackey. They must have lured them in. Such a pity, I'll have to release the Ginyu Force now. Well then, back to business," he turned his attention back to the Namekians, who all armed themselves.

Oboe was the first to react, summoning all his strength; he fired a double-fisted blow towards Frieza. The demon yawned and blocked it easily. Gasping, Oboe leaped back, and then screamed, "Take this you horned freak! Mystic Cannon!"

Frieza grinned as the blast made direct contact with him. The Namekian warriors all surrounded Oboe, cheering the Namekian on. Oboe smiled, "At last, peace at last."

His smile was stopped short as a beam pierced through his chest, gasping, he clutched it quickly and summoned his energy to regenerate it. He looked up, and found that the attacker was none other than Frieza. The Namekians all got back into their battle stance as Oboe trembled, his energy reserves nearly gone. Frieza laughed as he easily dodged the blows of every single Namekian warrior there. The tyrant then proceeded to grab a Namekian and break his ribs.

The Namekian grabbed his ribs, shocked, as Frieza proceeded to blast into the Namekian's chest. Oboe trembled, then mustered his aura, powering up quickly. He gave a bellow of rage, "You monster! I won't forgive you!"

Frieza raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

With all of his strength, Oboe attempted to chop at Frieza, but the emperor easily blocked. Using his free hand, Frieza chopped off Oboe's hand, and the Namekian gasped in pain. Oboe staggered back, leaving a trail of purple blood. A sudden laugh caught Frieza's attention, and the emperor turned around to find Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz.

Grinning, the emperor turned to meet the new adversaries. Quickly powering up to his maximum Vegeta began smirking, "Well Frieza, hanging around with the Namekians I see."

Frieza scowled, "I'll see how impudent you are when I call in the Ginyu Force!"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow, "But you can't right now…they're away on a mission. They'll come back to find their emperor dead!"

Vegeta powered up to his maximum, and quickly Frieza's scouter picked up a power level of 30,000. Frieza chuckled, "Quite impressive Vegeta, but if you think you can stop me you're delusional."

Vegeta responded, "No, not just me, but all three true Saiyan warriors!"

Nappa and Raditz powered up to their maximum in response and Frieza made a quick mental note, 'Their combined powers might cause trouble for the Ginyu Force, but nothing against Captain Ginyu.'

Charging at Frieza, all three Saiyans began going on the offensive, with Frieza easily dodging all of their attacks. The emperor grabbed Nappa's arm, and with surprising strength, threw him towards Vegeta and Raditz, who both crashed into a mountain. Oboe panted, 'Those three Saiyan warriors were all near or greater than my power, and yet Frieza tossed them around like nothing!'

Meanwhile…

Now in his Super Saiyan form, Goku quickly thrust his fist into the transformed Zarbon's stomach. The soldier panted as he felt his stomach give way. Goku gave a growl, "Don't hurt my friends ever again!"

Zarbon panted and clutched his stomach, his life energy quickly fading. In a last ditch effort, Zarbon attempted a full power energy wave at point-blank range, but the wave didn't even budge Goku. With a yell of anger, he threw Zarbon in a 360 degree angle and blasted the elite into a mountain, killing him. Goku panted, reverting back into his base form, "I didn't want that."

Piccolo growled, "It doesn't matter. Our main focus right now should be on this Frieza, he seems to be quite formidable and he's the horned demon. Just as I feared…

Namekian Village…

"Ah Vegeta, you're lucky you're my favorite," smirked Frieza, "That's why I'll offer you to join my ranks once again, or I'll reward your bravery with a cruel and painful death."

Vegeta panted, "D-damn, I don't have a choice do I?"

Frieza raised his arms, "If you join, I'll even let your monkey lackeys live."

Vegeta nodded his hand, "Fine! I'll join."

Frieza smiled, "Good, your first mission is to find the warriors that killed Zarbon."

Vegeta gave a yell of shock, "Wait, Zarbon is dead?!"

Frieza nodded, "That's why I'll be sending the Ginyu Force to aid you in your battle. For now, just get as much Dragon Balls as you can."

With that, Frieza left, with Vegeta facing the Namekians.

Oboe charged up, "As powerful as you may be…I won't let you steal out national treasures!"

Vegeta grinned, "Oh really?"

He thrust his hand through Oboe's chest, causing a scream of pain from the Namekian. Using his other hand, Vegeta charged up a ki ball at Oboe's head, and his eyeball saw the sphere. Suddenly, an energy blast was fired, completely destroying Oboe. The other Namekians trembled in fear, and Nappa walked towards them. With a brutal crush, he smashed a Namekian's arm, and then his head. The scene was a brutal carnage, with every single Namekian being brutally tortured and murdered.

After the scene was over, Vegeta found a Dragon Ball resting on the hand of the elder of the small village. Grabbing it, Vegeta smirked, "Once I gain immortality, my power will far surpass Frieza's!"

All the Saiyans nodded, "Our powers will rival the strongest in the universe!"

Vegeta grinned, "But first, to crush the invaders, and then the weakened Ginyu Force!"

The Saiyans now nodded, completely agreeing with Vegeta's plans. After all the Saiyan elite was the most powerful out of all of them. Vegeta began smirking, "But in the meantime, we search for the Dragon Balls."

The Saiyans all followed Vegeta as the Saiyan warrior went to look out for the Dragon Balls.

However, when they were on their way, Frieza's maniacal voice came through the scouter, "The Ginyu Force has arrived."

Vegeta growled, "Damn, I guess we'll have to work with the Ginyu Force then."

All three Saiyans changed course, to where their scouters picked up tremendously high power levels. Nappa began grinning, "Perhaps this might be interesting after all…"

Guru's Place…

"Th-thank you." said Gohan as his power became awakened.

Piccolo walked up to Guru, for he was next. Touching his forehead, Guru smiled, "Ah, a Namekian who will obtain power that will put him at a higher level than a Super Saiyan."

Piccolo gasped, "Wh-what are you talking about?"

Guru grinned, "You'll see."

At last came Goku, who had gone last so that Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo could get their powers first. As Piccolo stepped down, he marveled at his new power, but knew it was nowhere close to that of a Super Saiyan's. As Goku stepped up, Guru's eyebrows brightened, "The Legendary Super Saiyan, the warrior of pure heart, and the one that will defeat Frieza."

Goku's power drastically changed, and his aura skyrocketed into the air. Guru sighed, "My time has nearly come, and death is imminent for me. Destroy our enemies, vanquish Frieza!"

Goku trembled, and then nodded. Guru said one more thing, "They're coming, Nail and Dende assist our warriors."

Nail nodded, the strongest Namekian warrior now stood in front of them, his power easily greater than that of Piccolo's. Piccolo's eyes widened, 'His power, could this be what the Ginyu Force is capable of?!'

The small Namekian Dende approached the Z Fighters cautiously but he was welcomed. Chiaotzu exited, his power far greater than what it used to be.

Goku's instincts suddenly became alert, "That power! It's a bunch of guys, each stronger than Dodoria or Zarbon!"

Piccolo growled, "Tch, these monsters!"

The warriors landed on the ground, the shortest was a green alien with four eyes? Then there was Vegeta, standing next to him was Raditz, next to Raditz were both Nappa and another red humanoid creature. Causing both of them to dwarf was a blue alien, and next to him stood a purple alien. Standing the tallest was an almost human looking alien. The purple one smirked, "All right Ginyu Force, let's roll!"

All of the aliens except for the Saiyans began to do ridiculous poses, and each of the Z Fighters watched. Krillin gulped, "A-are they serious about this?"

The alien smirked, "Rock paper scissors to see who gets who!"

The aliens all began doing rock paper scissors, and eventually the human looking one yelled triumphantly, "Yeah! I'll take the Earthling."

He was pointing to Goku, who armed himself. The blue and red aliens pointed at Nail and Piccolo, "Let's take those guys!"

Last was the green alien who yawned and pointed at Krillin and Gohan. Instantly, the human alien armed himself, "Recoome of the Ginyu Force!"

Goku prepared himself, and barely managed to block a kick by Recoome. Grinning, the Ginyu Force member used his free hand to punch Goku to the ground. Using his weight, Recoome prepared to leap onto Goku. Growling, the Saiyan dodged the blow.

Ginyu checked his scouter, "He's only at 22,000, and yet he's giving Recoome a decent fight."

Recoome punched Goku to the ground this time, and took advantage of an opening "Recoome…Eraser Gun!"

Gasping, Goku barely managed to counter in time with his own Kamehameha. The two beams met in a clash, but Goku's arms began feeling strained. Giving a roar of power, he tapped into his Super Saiyan power, and his hair stood up. However, his hair and eyebrows didn't turn brown, but his irises had changed. Captain Ginyu was interested in this outburst of power, "How did he get so strong?"

Goku's beam quickly overpowered Recoome, and the Ginyu Force member quickly stopped his beam and dodged the Kamehameha. Panting, Recoome looked back at Goku in alarm, and the half-Super Saiyan replied with a quick punch that shattered multiple ribs. Recoome clutched his stomach and groaned. Guldo suddenly yelled, "STOP NOW!"

Goku found his body completely paralyzed, and gasped, "Wh-what the?!"

He attempted to turn Super Saiyan, and his aura increased. He struggled a bit, and then ultimately managed to break through. He teleported behind Goku and thrust his fist into the Ginyu Force member's chest. Gasping in pain, Guldo growled, "B-but how?"

Ginyu checked his scouter, "What the hell is this? Power level of 100,000 and rising!"

Vegeta began laughing, "Do you not get it? This is him, the Legendary Super Saiyan!"

Ginyu trembled, and yelled, "No…impossible!"

The purple alien raised his arms, "Body Change!"

Goku yelled in shock, and instantly, he was placed in Ginyu's body, with Ginyu now controlling Goku.

The warriors all looked back and forth, until Ginyu, now in Goku's body yelled, "Attack!"

All the Ginyu Force members rushed towards the Z Fighters. Nail instantly armed himself and fought on par against Jeice. Piccolo however, was a different story. Burter, the blue alien, was simply too fast for him to follow. The Ginyu Force member taunted him as he sent a barrage of kicks. The demon panted, purple blood dripping all over, "What the hell does he mean I have greater potential than a Super Saiyan…I'm losing to someone far weaker!"

Burter teleported behind Piccolo, "Sorry to interrupt your thoughts."

He delivered a swift chop to Piccolo's neck, sending him flying towards the ground. Sneering, Burter charged up a blue energy ball, until Gohan yelled, "Kamehameha!"

The signature move of his dad shone through as it pushed Burter back. Now, Captain Ginyu, in Goku's body rushed towards Gohan, and delivered an incredibly powerful punch. Vegeta trembled, "N-no, this wasn't how it was supposed to be!"

Goku yelled, "Gohan, watch out!"

Gohan became confused, but was hit again by Ginyu. Vegeta yelled towards Krillin, "Shoot me with everything you have! I'll lower my power level, but you have to do it now! That Namekian has healing powers right? Heal me right now!"

Krillin responded, "No way I would do that! Are you insane?!"

Ginyu now easily dodged the attacks of both Goku and Gohan, and delivered strong blows to them both. Landing on the ground, Goku rose up defiantly, cupping his arms together in Captain Ginyu's body, he yelled, "Kamehameha!"

The wave was easily deflected by Ginyu, who yawned. Burter stood next to him, but Jeice had been injured by a tired Nail. Trembling, the Ginyu Force member grinned, "You're not getting away alive, Crusher Ball!"

Panting, Nail yelled, "Mystic Cannon!"

An epic beam struggle occurred, but a detonation blasted both of them back. Nail panted, "I can't keep this up!"

Vegeta yelled, "Do it now!"

Krillin gulped, and then charged up his Kamehameha wave. He blasted it straight towards Vegeta, and the Saiyan prince felt blood come up to his mouth. He gurgled, "Heal me…now!"

Dende shook his head, "No, you're the one responsible for multiple Namekian deaths!"

Vegeta gave a growl of frustration, "Listen, if I don't get the Zenkai boost, Ginyu will slaughter us all! Nothing can beat the Legendary Super Saiyan, but maybe with the Zenkai boost I can prolong our time until death!"

Krillin nudged Dende, "Do it for us, all of us, please."

Dende gulped, and then began to heal Vegeta. Blood cleared up, until there was just a hole in his armor. Not saying anything, Vegeta rushed up instantly to meet the Ginyu Goku in combat. With a sudden burst of power, he punched Ginyu Goku, and then yelled, "Strike him with your strongest attacks, now!"

All three fighters used their most powerful beams at full power, and the Ginyu Goku couldn't hold all three of them at once. With a yell of pain, he fell down, Goku's body brutally ravaged. Ginyu yelled, "Change now!"

However, this time, Goku teleported in front of Ginyu and the beam hit him, giving Goku back his body. Panting, the Super Saiyan grinned and fell down, his energy used up. Vegeta powered up, "Well, it's time for me to end this."

He gave a powerful punch to Ginyu's stomach, causing the Captain to clench his stomach in pain. Burter and Jeice all looked at Vegeta, evidently shocked. Nappa and Raditz both quickly punched the two henchmen down. Vegeta shot an eye at them and instantly, they both exploded into ashes. Trembling, Goku looked at the devil that stood in front of him.

Smirking, Vegeta turned towards the brutally injured Captain Ginyu, "Well, it looks like the good Captain can't find himself the energy to go on."

Ginyu struggled to his feet, "Wh-why you, just wait until Frieza comes. He'll sh-show you all!"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow, "Oh, he will? Well, it's a pity you won't get to see him."

An energy wave completely destroyed Ginyu. Vegeta turned towards the Z Fighters, "Alright I want you all to send Nappa, Raditz, and Kakarot to their healing chambers. Like it or not, I'll have to have a temporary truce with you against Frieza."

Gohan trembled and Nail grabbed his arm, "Don't bother, he's stronger than all of us combined."

Piccolo agreed, "Like it or not, we're gonna have to follow his orders."

Gohan nodded and trembled back. All the warriors hoisted up the injured Saiyans on to their backs, and followed Vegeta. As they were flying, Vegeta spoke, "The quest for the Dragon Balls should be discontinued as of right now, Frieza will no doubt be looking for us, and his power is incredibly terrifying."

The Z Fighters placed the warriors in healing chambers, and began to rest for the confrontation against Frieza.

Hey guys, sorry about the late upload, hope you guys have a nice Halloween! The story leads up to the Z Fighter's confrontation against Frieza. The battle won't be easy, and there will be a multi-chapter conclusion at the end. Sorry Chiaotzu didn't get much screen time; he's so much weaker than the Z Fighters are he'd be a harm. The reason Captain Ginyu is so weak is for plot purposes, and because him in Goku's body was incredibly weak, so therefore I think that Captain Ginyu wouldn't be able to use Super Saiyan as efficiently or effectively as Goku can.
