The Vicious Gods Wrath

Chapter 22: Beyond God

Earth, Ruins of West City

I can hardly believe this is happening!

Is the all-consuming thought of Lord Freeza mind in his unparalleled rush of excitement, happiness, adrenaline and just a dash amount of madness coursing through every fiber of his being like a jolt of invigorating electricity. He can hardly believe it, after 15 years spent waiting both in death and life, he is finally doing battle with the two individuals responsible for all his problems. Goku and Vegeta. The mighty Super Saiyan God's flinging attack after attack at him with all their might.

Wanting to give them a false sense of hope and security thus increasing both their imminent dread and his joy, Freeza puts up an act. After confidently meeting them head on in an initial clash, he adopts a facade of inferiority. Clumsily avoiding their attacks and intentionally slowing himself down so they can land a few hits. Letting them think he's gotten in over his head again and that they've got the advantage. He cannot help but internally laugh at them, amazed that even after showing them the results of his cunning, they still think him too arrogant to ensure his victory beforehand. Even Goku, his more combatively insightful enemy follows Vegeta's example, too furious to listen to reason.

Not that Freeza would be worried if he understood, the tyrant knows he can kill them right now fairly easily, yet he also knows a hidden power they've yet to unleash, a power seemingly beyond that of a Super Saiyan God. One he wants to draw out of before crushing them into the dirt. If Goku defeated him at his own zenith of power, Freeza will extend him and the troublesome Prince that same courtesy.

Dropping his act, with utter ease and a smirk on his face, he catches their fists, surprising them both before applying some pressure. Slowly tightening his grip, he forestalls their momentum and with ease forces them down to their knees, the creaking of their bones is like a fine musical chorus.

With them both thoroughly subdued, playing a little counting rhyme in his head, Freeza settles on Vegeta being the first to suffer the brunt of his fury. And thus, Goku must temporarily go, and so he does once Freeza's kick launches him out of the city and into what's left of the cliff-side ruins.

Feigning the lower of his guard, Freeza allows Vegeta to hit him in the face with a simple ki blast, letting out a fake, pained grunt as the Prince escapes his grip. The collapse of Vegeta's brief expression of triumph into one of shocked horror will remain one of the most beautiful things Freeza has ever laid eyes upon. Kneeing the Saiyan princeling to the back of the head Freeza soars into the sky and rams his feet into Vegeta's skull, shoving his face into the mud ridden ground.

Still wanting to play with them a bit more, Freeza kicks Vegeta away as if he's a soccer ball, giving the Saiyan a few moments of reprieve before unleashing a barrage of Death Beams his way. But the red, piercing lasers aren't trained at their intended target, instead, they carve the ground leading up to the downed Prince, like a swarm of rats steadily advancing on their prey.

To Vegeta's credit, the distinct hum of the erupting blasts forces him out of his daze and into action. With disdain clear on his face, Vegeta rolls out of the way of the blasts then thrusts his dominant fighting arm forward, unleashing a wave of ki in Freeza's direction. The ruler of the universe only needs to tilt his head to the side to avoid the attack.

Sensing Goku's power growing back at the cliffside at a rate which can only mean a ki blast, Freeza decides to finish with Vegeta, at least for now. Propelling himself forward like a wind-up toy, Freeza's hairless scalp rams against the Prince's nose, staggering and leaving him vulnerable once more. As if he isn't already.

Curling into a ball, Freeza spins in mid-air for a quick build up of momentum then uppercuts Vegeta with swing of his tail, sending him reeling across the air into crashing at the foundations of one of the few remaining skyscrapers. The force of his impact quickly sends all fifty stories of the place crashing down on him.

As anticipated, Goku appears with his signature attack all but ready for firing. Freeza knows he can easily avoid this one as well, but where is the fun in that?

"HHHHAAAAAAA!"

The mass of blue energy swallows the entirety of Freeza's person and then some. Its discharge engulfs the bodies of several PTO soldiers and inadvertently wreaks more havoc on the ruins of West City, no doubt he deems the damage easily repairable via the Dragon Balls. His Kamehameha subsides just as quickly as it came, but his shocked expression is all the evidence Freeza needs to know the intended effect hasn't been achieved.

With a swipe of his tail, Freeza removes the troublesome smoke cloud and smirks at the troublesome Earth-raised Saiyan, enjoying the terror he tries to keep in check. His battle instincts kick in and he tries to leap away only for Freeza's tail to entangle itself around Goku's neck.

Relishing Goku's pained gasps for air, Freeza cracks the knuckles of his hands in preparation for the Saiyan's soon to come and well deserved beat down. But not before tightening the tail grip just a smidge.

"That was for biting it last time. And this is for your other stunt," With a blinding speed that leaves a skull splitting ringing noise in Freeza's own ears, much less Goku's, Freeza smacks him right across the face, letting the initial pain set in before hitting him again from the right. He repeats this over and over, with each strike faster than the last and each one drawing out more blood.

Paying him back appropriately, Freeza notices the rubble of the recently destroyed skyscraper trembling with a glowing, white light emerging from within and smiles. With a mighty shout, Vegeta bursts forth from the wreckage, blasting it all away with a fury that does not surprise Freeza in the slightest. Not wasting a second, he foolishly charges forward, no doubt thinking that the end result will turn out differently. Freeza decides to give him what he wants.

He positions Goku ahead of Vegeta's imminent strike at gleefully watches him act out the expected fool: by doing further harm to his only worthwhile ally instead.

Letting go of Goku's neck, Freeza instead wraps his tail around the ankle of Goku's left leg and uses him to smack Vegeta away. Not content with his work on the Earth Saiyan just yet, he smashes him repeatedly against the ground as a wild baby whacks its toy around. Hoisting him upside down, Freeza smirks and with a kiai aimed at his chest launches Goku into Vegeta, knocking them away.

"Bastard..." Vegeta curses him, wiping his bloody nose clean. "You'll pay for all of this..."

"Always with the threats but I've yet to see either of you follow through on them Vegeta. As you are now, you won't lay a finger on me."

"He's right... Vegeta..." Goku wisely advises him. "At this rate, we'll die for sure. We're gonna have to go all out if we want to win this."

"By all means!" Proclaims Freeza, with a genuine tone of encouragement. "Show me the true power of a Super Saiyan, it's only fair seeing as you both allowed me to transform and fight at my best on Namek, after all!"

The strain, fear, and anger vanish from their faces, replaced by an intense calm of great concentration. Twist gusts of wind surround the two of them, causing pebbles of rock, dirt, and armor to hover in the air like moths attracted to a flame. Freeza expects a grand display of power, one strong enough to shake the very foundations of this entire solar system.

An almost blinding light, followed by an ethereal shroud of golden fire surrounds two of them, darkening their whole bodies as if burning them to a crisp. The fire grows and joins the twisting wind in its rhythm, incinerating the pebbles previously hovering around them. Slowly, cracks begin to appear the charred outlines of Goku and Vegeta's bodies, firstly at starting at their feet until fully dissipating around their faces.

And thus, Freeza once again finds himself standing at not one, but two Super Saiyan's, though of a different sort than once existed. The golden aura once hovering around their bodies now resembles a perpetual, ethereal flame burning around them. One accompanied by faint sparks of bioelectricity. As expected, their hair morphs into a color matching that of their energy and their green, now pupil'd eye's stare at him with that same intensity he once covered at on Namek.

If anything, Freeza's excitement grows immensely upon seeing this new, Godly enhanced form of the Super Saiyan. A stark contrast to his many nights spent in Hell where even the faintest sight of those stern, green eyes would've sent him into a panic. But those days are a thing of the past, and even with this noticeable boost in power, Freeza knows they are still doomed to fail. Entering his fight pose, he powers himself up to the fullest extent allowed in his present state, knowing he cannot toy around with them anymore. The two Saiyan's before him do the same, their fiery auras intensity growing as they too power up.

"Excellent," Freeza's grin widens. "Now when I drive you into the dirt it will make for an even more glorious-"

Their joined fists smashing against Freeza's mouth silences him, and momentarily manage to stagger him. It seems Shenron wasn't lying... His mood darkens as he feels genuine pain from the attack, realizing that Gods of superior strength to him could indeed *break* the wish of immortality hanging over Freeza. No matter, the advantage is still mine...

This time we'll take him together, Vegeta. Kakarot telepathically declares to his partner as they victoriously watch Freeza's brief edge over them crumble.

Fine by me. Just so long as I get to be the one to interrogate him for the boy's location. Vegeta thrusts his dominant arm forward. "Big Bang Attack!"

The hovering Freeza manages to recover in time to seemingly avoid the blast and would have accomplished this if Kakarot didn't appear from above and elbow him in the skull, propelling Freeza right into the ball of blue energy. He quickly emerges from the smoke but Vegeta has no intention of giving him a moment of piece.

The Saiyan Prince gives him no time to catch his breath, appear from the other side of the smoke cloud and driving his fist angrily into the tyrant's stomach. Biting back a gasp, Freeza responds in kind with a headbutt, managing to daze Vegeta enough to prepare for a kick.

Just as his leg is about to hit, Vegeta snatches it. With a smirk, he raises his free arm and elbows Freeza in the leg, earning a satisfying yell of pain from him. Freeza spots Kakarot moving in and attempts to hold him off by thrusting both his arms forward and firing off a wave of red ki. Yet Kakarot effortlessly brushes it aside, kneeing him in the abdomen before delivering a spin kick to his face.

The two launch another joint attack with Vegeta flying past Freeza, clotheslining him in the neck with Goku appearing behind for a kick to his spine. Vegeta returns for more, letting out a confident chuckle before blasting him in the chest with a ki wave while Kakarot smashes him into the ocean near the city's edge.

Excellent, Freeza musses as he drifts in the oceanic depths, ignoring some of the rough spots of pain covering his body. They are powerful, yes, but not overwhelmingly so. And with no Beerus or his master to be seen or heard from, I've picked my day of attack well. Let's give these two another taste of victory before I crush their spirits into dust...

With a loud and not surprisingly infuriated shout, Freeza bursts out of the water, surrounded by ocean splitting aura of purple energy surrounding him. Even from this distance, Goku can see the veins popping from the sides of his head and hear the grinding of his teeth.

Pointing his right arm in their direction Freeza's power increases many times over thanks in no small part to the barely controlled orb of purple energy growing monumentally growing.

"It looks like he's giving it his all," Comments Vegeta sporting a confident smirk. "What say we show him what we're really capable of?"

"Sounds good to me," Goku smirks back before the two power up as well, pushing themselves to their limits and pouring more ki into their own attacks to break Freeza's and hopefully end whatever delusions he has of victory. Chanting the name of the Kamehameha with its charging, Goku spots crackling yellow lightning escaping from the palms of Vegeta's outstretched hands, a Final Flash no doubt.

Needless to say, Freeza's ball of energy can't match their combined might. The three attacks collide into one another with the purple orb managing to hold out for a decent length of time, but the ball is alone while Goku and Vegeta remain connected to their beams, allowing them to pool more energy into them.

Freeza knows he's outmatched in this contest, he wouldn't throw a small orb into his larger one to disrupt the flow ki, causing it and their joint attacks to involuntarily explode. A thunderous, Earth quivering display of wild, uncontrolled energy. Yet at the edge of this cloud, Goku and Vegeta both spot Freeza seemingly making a run for it and promptly cut him off.

With barely contained rage, he looks at them and tries to get away only to get cut off by either Goku or Vegeta at every turn. After a few attempts, he lands in the rubble of the cliffside with both Saiyan's stand to his left and right sides. Covered in mud and breathing raspily, Goku knows he's hit his limit.

"It's over Freeza, you put up a better fight than last time, but in the end result is the same. You lose," Goku's eyes narrow. "Now! Tell us where the boys are and we'll let you go in peace!"

"But please, by all means, refuse," Vegeta smiles the same way he used to, particularly when Goku first met him under less than friendly circumstances. "I'd very much enjoy beating the answers out of you."

They expect an arrogant denial or some insult with the word monkey or in Goku's case, a plea for mercy as he did on Namek. To their surprise, he simply starts laughing. First, it starts as a slight giggle but quickly becomes a booming, sinister cackle. The frustration and fatigue present before are gone and he stands tall and proud as if they've done nothing to worry him.

"You are a spectacular imbecile Goku! Truly one of a kind!" The laugh grows louder. "I've taken away your children to who knows where, brought your friends and allies to the doorstep of death and permanently exterminated an entire species! And you would let me go so I can repeat it all to someone else?!"

He somehow manages to laugh even harder, Goku fights back to the urge to smash him into the ground, an opinion the not so amused Vegeta shares given his scowl.

"But I suppose I should be glad that you lot are like that," He dramatically wipes tears out of his eyes. "I'd have never gotten this far if not for your incompetence."

"Stop wasting our damn time!" Demands Vegeta, his foot stomping down and his clenched fist shaking in barely contained anger. "Tell us where our sons are this instant! Or I'll-"

"Neither of you will be doing anything but dying today," Freeza states with an almost frighteningly sudden matter of factness, all his previous amusement gone in a split second. "For you see, your spectacular foolishness has made you blind to a very simple fact."

"Which is?" Questions Goku, his patience running thinner every second.

"I have attained Godhood as well. Now, I know you're not the brightest of individuals so I'll give you a moment to remember exactly what that entails." He says it like a teacher scolding a pair of dumb students.

The two just stare at him for a few moments until soul crushing but unspoken revelation finally dawns on them. By the time it does, a wild burst of orange fire the size of a five-story building explodes out of Freeza and almost knocks the both of them off their feet.

"Damn it all," Vegeta already prepares another Final Flash. "We can't let him transform!"

"Right!" Goku replies, cupping his hands together with a Kamehameha forming in his hand. Knowing they don't have the time to maximize the potency of their blasts, the two fire off these weaker versions regardless, knowing that they cannot allow Freeza to ascend further. Yet just as the attacks reach him, Freeza's aura seemingly goes haywire and cuts into the very sky as a monstrous skyscraper-sized sized pillar of flame, completely dispelling the Saiyan's blasts.

As if Shenron is being summoned, the very sky darkens around the whole planet darkness. The clouds submit to the might of the pillar, swirling around it. Soon, the wind joins them, forming a tornado of such strength even Goku and Vegeta can hardly keep themselves from being blown away. Next, the ocean itself follows suit, with every drop of it being sucked into this vortex, swirling around the pillar of flame with thunder and lightning going off in the sky around the phenomena. The pillars intensity grows, now sucking in entire sections of the cliff-side and buildings being sucked into the vortex of lightning, ocean, wind, earth, fire and water.

The remaining forces of nature follow their example, without warning, the temperature drops to dozens of degrees beneath zero, sending a horrid chill down the Saiyan's spines. After a few moments, they're assaulted by a monstrous heat capable of cooking a man alive in mere minutes. A rain storm just as unnatural as the rest of these occurrences soaks them from head to toe before the gravity alters.

For a few brief moments, Goku and Vegeta both feel as light as feathers, needing to focus their ki on flight so as not to drift off into space. An unnecessary step for the gravity then takes a sharp turn, becoming powerful enough to bring and keep them on their knees until normalizing itself.

The forces of nature itself are submitting to Freeza's power, but that's not the worst of it.

Through all this noise, destruction, and chaos, his voice overcomes it all. A mighty, booming and morbidly distorted yell can be heard over it all, the stuff of nightmares made real. An effect only enhanced by the process' effect on Freeza's body. Through even the blinding light and the whole world going insane around them, the two catch glimpses of Freeza inside the maelstrom.

How his skin is breaking off throughout his entire body.

To their relief, the pillar eventually subsides, crashing back down to the spot where Freeza was standing. The lightning and thunder are the first to go, followed by the wind which caused dozens upon dozens of rocks, cars, building parts to fall all over the place. Yet somehow, the display persists, for the second the ocean begins to fall back down, over half of it positioned over Freeza instantly vaporizes into a very hot mist, surrounding the entire cliff-side in it. Like water cooling down a freshly forged sword.

The Saiyan warriors blast it all away with casual kiai's not intent on letting Freeza get any advantage. Immediately they deeply regret not savoring the moment of peace it allowed them, the cover it provided from a sight they'd rather not have to see. Still covered in water from both the ocean and the mist, Freeza stands tall, proud and looking immensely satisfied with himself. Growing noticeably taller by a few feet, his entire body is covered by a golden sheen from which an ethereal, orange fire oozes out of.

It is not his body that turns them into petrified statues, it is his power.

Even after all the years they've spent battling increasingly stronger and stronger opponents from the Androids to Cell to Buu to even Beerus himself, their presences cannot compare to the one Freeza's now emanates. It's seemingly infinite weight making them feel minuscule and sick to their stomachs just being so near it.

Letting out a chilling but short laugh at their expressions, Freeza folds his arms and looks back and forth between the two of them. "Now then, who should I kill first?"

Been dying to write that Freeza transformation for ages now and I am happy to say that is most definitely not the most bat shit crazy thing I've got in store. The best is yet to come on the planetary destruction side! Now onto the battle powers!

Saiyan Beyond God Goku: 6.3

Saiyan Beyond God Vegeta. 6.3

Mastered Final Form Freeza: 7.8 (30% stronger than original SSJG Goku as stated before in my writers notes)

Super Saiyan Beyond God Goku: 8.3

Super Saiyan Beyond God Vegeta: 8.3

Ultimate Freeza: ?

You might be wondering why they're more frightened of Freeza's strength than say Beerus or Whis is because neither fought them at their max power, so they've got no idea what its like when they actually do power up to max. I also didn't really see the point in their Super Saiyan forms changing blue in the movie so I just decided to make it regular SSJ with some of elements from 2,3 and God thrown into the mix.

And on one final note, Freeza has mastered his God state which means there will be no rapidly draining power BS like in the movie.
