Chapter 38: A Lord Against A King
Lord and Saviour those three words echoed around the back of Vegeta's head. The Sayian's mouth slammed shut his teeth gritting against each other as his rage and wrath began to brim to the boil. Oh how the Frost Demon knew how to get under his skin how many times the tyrant would taunt and goad the King. Angering Vegeta to the point where the Sayian would just want to attack.
For year's Vegeta held back his rage held back his thirst for revenge at his father's death held back his hatred. But not today… the dam had finally been broken.
"Grrrraaaaaaahhhhhaaaaaaa" Vegeta roared his head snapped back screaming to the heavens as years of pent up angrier and frustration boiled to the surface in one almighty wave.
A massive purple aura surrounded the King of Sayians and grew to double his own size. The force of the huge aura sent a strong gust of wind outwards knocking Dende and Moori flying backwards while they were trying to approach Gohan sending the Nameks in the sea.
The unconscious body of Gohan was also tossed into the sky but was caught by Bardock who also held the unconscious body of Goku under his right arm. Even though Bardock had the familiar orange aura of his Phoenix Fire technique which multiplied his power further than it's natural limits but even then the father of Goku was still struggling not to be pushed back by the seer ferocity of the wind bashing against him.
"Dam what power" Bardock muttered under his breath "I better get these two to the Namek's to heal quickly I have a feeling will need them very soon"
The earth beneath Vegeta 's feet was shaking and cracks began to form in the dirt while large boulders and rocks also began to livatated into the air force upwards against gravity by Vegeta's raw power.
Freiza was looking on at his old royal subordinate with mild amusement a wicked smile was upon the tyrants face as he opened and closed his metallic right hand in anticipation. The reminder the Southen ruler left the Frost Demon as a reminder of his servitude to him had taught the Frost Demon two things. One was that any subordination within the ranks had to be dealt with quickly and secondly that the subordinate in question should not be to be allowed to live otherwise if they grow a bit stronger they might be foolish enough to try again.
His screaming finally subsided and his purple aura down to a calmer level Vegeta eyes looked on to Friezia's own the Sayian pointing a single finger up at the Frost Demon.
"You dare call yourself my Lord and Saviour!" Vegeta spat angier still clear on his face. "You are no lord of mine . I AM VEGETA! King of the most fearsome warrior race the Sayian's and this day I shall avenge my father's murder at your hands!"
Friezia laughed. The tyrant swung his head back and held on to his stomach as his husky chuckles grated on Vegeta's ears like nails on a chalk board. But the King of Sayian's did not move a muscle he allowed the Frost Demon's chuckles to wash over him. It would of course make the tyrants death at the kings hands all the more sweeter.
Stopping his chuckling and whipping an imaginary tear from his eye the Frost Demon looked down on Vegeta his smile growing more wild and crazy.
"I'm so terrible sorry" Friezia said the polite tone in his voice not disguising the vemon behind his words. "I just find it funny how a small monkey king thinks after he gets a tiny amount of real power he can take on me! Lord Frieia! I should have made your entire race extinct by blowing up your planet after I killed your father. You have turned out to be more trouble than your worth boy! Now come on and I will show you what true power is by crushing your skull."
Opening up his arms the Frost Demon ignited his own aura a dark purple which was so thick it almost clouded the tyrant from view.
Without a moment's hesitation the King of Sayian's himself appeared before the Frost Demon his right fist already swung for a quick jab. Vegeta had moved so quickly that someone watching the fight at the moment would currently see two of him one on the ground where he had been before and another which was throwing a punch at Friezia.
The Frost Demon was shocked at his old subordinates speed but his reflex's and reactions were quick and the tyrant manages to block the blow with his left forearm.
"His speed and power is far higher than I could of predicted I don't understand how he could have grown this powerful without my relishing but I have got to take this fight seriously" Friezia thought to himself as he grabbed Vegeta's left handed punch with his left metallic hand.
The tyrant throw his head forward and smashed his rock diamond hard head against Vegeta's own comparatively softer skull knocking the Sayian backwards though the air. The hot wet droplets that was now scattered across Friezia's head informed the tyrant he had drawn first blood but not content with that small victory the tyrant followed up on his momentary advantage by beginning to fire a barrage death beams towards his opponent.
The sudden head butt had taken Vegeta by surprise he had not expected such an underhand tactic from the Frost Demon but it was nothing worse than what he would have done. With his bleeding forehead only a mild nuisance the King Of Sayian's spun mid-air out of the way of the oncoming death been barrage and released his own orb blast as a counter.
Friezia caught the ball of energy and crushed it in his right metallic hand turning the ball of pure energy into just a puff of smoke with practice ease. However the Ki blast turned out to be merely a distraction as Vegeta flashed into view on Friezia's left side before delivering a powerful right knee into the tyrants jaw.
Having been caught off guard by the attack and the taste of blood now in his mouth the Frost Demon reacted by swinging his body round in an arch as he held his leg out in an attempt to kick out at Vegeta.
The King Of Sayian's blocked the kick with a left forearm but before he could counter a strong tug of his left leg pulled him downwards.
The Tyrant Friezia had knew that his foe would block his kick but used the move to disguise his true attack. While Vegeta moved to block his kick the Frost Demon wrapped his tale around the Sayian's left leg and swung him down towards the ocean.
Vegeta used his Ki to stop himself before he hit the ocean though the sudden release of energy sent waves of water shooting up into the air around him causing a whirlpool effect. Though the King didn't have time to admire his beauty as a shadow reflecting off the water surfaces informed him that a Ki blast was on it's way.
Back flipping to dodge out of the way of the large purple ball that came crashing down into the ocean the King Of Sayian's brought his hand's to his sides and began to charge his own purple attack.
"Galick Gun!" The Sayian roared firing the purple beam attack so similar to the Kamahamaha wave up towards.
The attack was fast and powerful two thing's Friezia knew the instant it was fired. Rather than staying still and tanking the attack which he would normally do if he had been in his true form the Frost Demon cautiously dodge to the left while firing a counter shot back down towards Vegeta.
The beam curved down in an arch towards the Sayian who was still firing his attack if he didn't move soon it would connect against his side.
The beam of energy passed right though Vegeta's alter-image. It was another decoy attack.
Vegeta appeared behind the tyrants Friezia's back and quickly grabbed hold of the protruding horns behind the Frost Demon's head before the Sayian smashed his left knee into his tormentor for many years back.
Friezia let out a grunt of pain and began to wildly turn his body in order to shake his attacker off but to no avail. The Sayian's strong grip held true as he continued to assault the tyrants back with continues knee attack's taking great pleasure each time a grunt of pain escaped his lips.
"See how you like being forced to bow" Vegeta cackled in delight as he sent another knee into the base of the Frost Demon's spine.
Rage started to build up inside of Friezia but the tyrant kept a cool head as he knew he had to figure out a way to dislodge the Sayian from his back before any more damage could be inflicted but so far all plans had failed. Even ramming though a mountain did little to remove Vegeta's grip.
The reflection of himself and Vegeta in the ocean caught the Frost Demon's attention and a plan was quickly formulated in his mind of course the fact that the Frost Demon's didn't need to breath was a great survival advantage in any scenario but it was also a great tool in battle especially against a species that needed to breath oxygen to live.
Diving into the ocean Friezia kept going down until he reached the darkest depths of the oceans floor the only light being from his own aura. But much to the Frost Demon's frustration's the King of Sayian's stubbornly continued his assault on the tyrants backs unwilling to give up his perfect advantage despite his natural instincts to breath.
It was a fall two minutes of constant assault on Freizia's back and the tyrant constantly smashing the Sayian into anything he could find before Vegeta finally released his grip. But the Sayian wouldn't let the tyrant get off that easy bringing his hands together the Sayian fired a beam of energy into the Frost Demon's back as he propelled himself out of the water so he can get a much needed breath of fresh air.
~DBZ~
Gohan woke up with a start his eyes quickly locking onto the eyes of his friend Dende the former of which wore a broad smile as he removed his hands off the Demi-Sayian's chest.
They were all on an island about a mile away from where Vegeta and Friezia were fighting their power levels escalating quickly with a sound of a sonic pop confirming every time the two landed a blow. Alert now the son of Goku stood up and gave his Namek friend a small smile.
"Thanks' Dende I feel better than ever. I was kind of scared for a moment there that I was going to die" Gohan said in his normal soft voice.
"Yeah you had me worried Gohan . I didn't no what to do it was like you had lost complete control of yourself" Dende replied.
"Yeah I did" Gohan replied with a nod as he scanned the area and spotted his Grandfather Bardock standing next to the Namek Moori the both of which were standing over the body of Goku. "Is my dad ok ?" The Boy asked worry clear in his voice.
"I don't know" Dende replied truthfully But Moori is the best healer on the planet he rivalled even the great grand elder Guru so you dad's in great hands."
"I still want to check on him" Gohan replied as he began to walk towards the three adults of the groupn with Dende following close behind.
"It's no good" Moori murmured standing up straight from his bent position from where he hand been healing Goku . "I have healed his body but I cannot heal his mind and soul that recovery has to be done himself but I am not too concerned this man is an unbelievable fighter he'll pull though it's just a question of how long he remains unconscious"
Bardock gave the Namek a curt nod to show he had understood. He had so far refused to be healed until both his grandson and son had been fully revived by the Namek's but now he was prepared to allow Moori to heal him. However before he could speak Gohan cut in.
"Why can't you heal my father Mr Moori?" Gohan asked the young boy only catching onto parts on the conversation.
The elder Namek turned to the boy a reassuring smile on his face though deep down Moori felt sorrow for the pain the two boy's in front of him(Dende and Gohan) had suffered so far. Most grown men would be traumatised by the events that transpired he himself was inwardly a complete wreck so he had no idea how the children were coping.
"You have Dragonball's on Earth don't you son?" Moori asked.
"Yes" Gohan answered.
"Well do you know that the eternal dragon's wishes are limited to the power of their creator?" The Elder asked again.
"Yeah I think Mr Piccolo mention something like that on the way here… he was worried that the Dragonball's on this planet might not be able to bring our friends back to life because the creator on this planet might not be as strong as Kami" Gohan replied . He was becoming curious at what the Namek was hinting at.
"Well you see the Dragon on this planet and i believe on your own planet cannot bring people back to life if they have died from a natural cause such as a heart attack or old age.. This is because our magic that allows us to heal all other such mortal wounds such as a hole in your chest for instance dose not stretch that far" Moori replied his bright smile from earlier slightly dimming.
Gohan was confused he knew the older Namek was trying to explain something to him but it was in a delicate roundabout way which really didn't answer his initial question and just created more.
"But why can't you heal stuff like a heart attack? I mean a hole though the chest is a natural way to die isn't it? I don't think I know anyone other than Mr Piccolo who could survive something like that? And what dose this all have to do with my father" Gohan asked as politely as he could though it was clear he was quite irritated due to the fact his father was still unconscious and the Namek before him wasn't making much sense.
Picking up on Gohan's negative emotions Moori quickly sort to answer and calm the boy at the same time.
"To be honest with you Gohan we as a people are not sure why our magic will not heal or help those suffering from a heart attack or a deadly illness. But there are many theories that have been discussed between our wises elders in council and we believe it is due to the fact when someone is dying from something such as a heart attack or even just old age we believe their mind and soul have accepted death and once this has happened no outside aid can bring them back…. Were as a hole in the chest is a sudden action in shook's the soul and mind and surprising it meaning they haven't accepted death so we are able to help them…..As I said we as a people are still not clear on our own abilities or how they even work. Much like the Dragonball's it just comes naturally to us we don't really need to think about it it just works" Moori voice was calm as he spoke he could see the irritation slowly removed from Gohan's body being replaced with curiosity Dende was also listening intently it was not often an elder would tell this much information to an outsider.
"As with your father he suffered a heart attack and though your grandfathers manage to bring him back physically to the living realm and I have healed all his injuries. His soul and mind are still hurt as they had accepted that he was going to pass on to other world and now they need time to catch up to the fact that he is alive"
Gohan nodded slightly more relived with the news that his father should be alright however another question was burning on his mind.
"So what do we do now then? We have lost the Dragonball's and we can't stay here too long with that going on" Gohan said indicating the directions were the battle between Freiza and Vegeta was taking place. "I don't know about you guys but by what I'm sensing there's no way any of us can stand up to that power."
It was Bardock's turn to stand forward the oldest Sayian might not have been the strongest of the group and he might not have the most experience with the Dragonballs. But he was the most experience in combat. He was a warrior who had fought in countless battles and wars he knew exactly what to do.
"The space shuttle I arrived on is not far from is not far on here. With the Sayian royal guard being taken out by Turles there will be only a few Sayian's that are stronger than me their but they will be nothing compared to Gohan. I think we should make our way there and take control of it there are healing chambers which we can put Kakarot in. It may not heal him as quickly as your magic but I know it helps a hell of a lot if you have had a cardiac arrest as I have had a few myself. It also gives us the strategic advantage of the fact that if everything goes south we have an escape route of the planet if all else fails" Bardock said with confidence.
"But what about the Dragonball's ? We need them to revive our friend's and if Freizia gets them who knows what he will wish for?" Gohan said concern clear in his voice.
"That should not be a problem. Since Guru transferred ownership of the ball's over to me they will travel to any planet I go to… In fact it might be a safer option to just leave this planet now and head to earth. That way we could gather the dragonballs their and make our wishes in safety." Guru said in his calm voice.
"That's a good plan" Gohan said with a small nod a smile on his face as he relaxed thinking everything will be alright. "But were not leaving this planet without Mr Piccolo or Miss Bulma!"
"Of course not" Bardock replied quickly before anyone else could speak knowing full well if it came to it he would leave the planet with or without his grandson Namek friend. "Who's Bulma?"
~DBAT~
Bulma was currently on a beach resort. It was a little hideaway on the west coast were all the Namek's went on vacation. Lying on a sun lounger in a purple bikini the scientist sipped a delicious fruit mock tail drink though a curly straw before she stretch out and let out a sigh of relief as Namek children played in the ocean waves with beach balls.
"Ahh this is the life who would of know Namek would have just a sweet place" The scientist purred.
It was then a Namekian butler her attendant for the last hour or so came to her side a with trays laden with food .
"The buffy option you ordered my lady will their be any other requests" The tall handsome green alien dressed in a fancy suit asked with a polite bow.
Bulma stood up her mouth drooling as she shovelled food in her mouth before she looked at her tall handsome butler and gave him a small wink as she placed her hands on her hips and shoved her chest forward.
"Hmm is their anything I can do for you sir….."
Gohan and the others found Bulma in a ditch she was delirious from hunger and thirst while also kissing a rock for some reason. The scientist kept muttering to herself about being at the best beach resort ever and lovling the people of Namek or something. It was left to Bardock to carry the scientist while Gohan held his father as Bulma had the annoying habit of wriggling in her delusion.
~DBZ~
Vegeta flouted stationary in mid-air his eyes fixed on the huge green ocean below him watching out for any movement that would indicate that his opponent was about to resurface but after several seconds of stillness the King's patience was growing thin and his thirst for battle grew stronger.
"Come on you coward! I know you could take more than that! Show yourself" Vegeta roared as he began to charge a beam of energy in his hands.
"As you wish"
Crack! Friezia who had slipped out of the water without Vegeta noticing had come up behind the king and derived a right handed chop to the side of the king of Sayian's neck. Before following up with a left handed hook to the kidneys.
"grraaahhh" Vegeta chocked blood flying out of his mouth But the King recovered quickly and zipped out of sight just before the Frost Demon could jack hammer his back.
"Take this" Vegeta roared from behind the back of Friezia the Sayian king having been able to maintain the ball of energy he had been charging before.
The Sayian king fired but the Frost Demon was quick to react and fired his own blast to counter act. The two balls of energy met in the middle and exploded creating a dust cloud. But the dust cloud was quickly separated as the two warriors collided.
Each punch was blocked. Each kick countered. Both fighters matching the other blow for vicious blow before they separated from each other taking a break from combat to exchange words as the flouted in mid-air moving in a circle while they faced eachother down.
"I must say Vegeta, I am quite impressed of how much power you gain since you were a small child. It's almost ashamed that I am going to have to put you down you could have been quite useful to me" The frost demon said calmly a wicked smile on his face.
"Ha, fool" Vegeta spat his arms cross defiantly on his chest. "Do you really think this is my true power!? I haven't even began to touch in the reserves of energy I have stored! For you see Friezia you are not just dealing with a King anymore! I have step out of the shadow of my father and became a legend."
The King of Sayian's bent his knees and brought his elbows to his side as his dark purple aura began to explode around him. The King carried on with his taught however as he began to draw forth the residue of power he had left inside of him out to the surface.
"AS YOU SEE I! KING VEGETA HAVE BECOME THE ONE AND ONLY SUPER SAYIAN! ARRRRHHHHHHH"
The sky darken as the purple aura around Vegeta grew quadruple the Sayians own size. Clouds seemed to be drawn to the area just above the King as the ocean beneath him began to turn into a whirlpool.
"GRRRAAAHAHHAHAAAHHHHAAAA" Vegeta roared his head snapped back as cracks of black lightning began to crackle around his aura.
The ocean beneath had parted revelling the sea level in a one hundred meter radius circle around the king as lighting began to flash from the sky coming crashing down to the earth.
The planet was shaking pieces of rock's began to break away from the ground and into the air pulled in by Vegeta's power breaking into dust as they got within feet of him.
Freizia all the while flouted motionless watching as the King continues to draw forth his power. The Frost Demon was interested to see if the King was truly telling the fact he had truly had become a super sayian. It was why of course he had decided to keep the Sayian race alive he had hoped the powerful beast's the Sayian's would become due to the transformation would aid him in his fight against the tyrant the Southern Ruler that controlled him and his family. Hell the reason why he stayed in his first form most of the time was to stop his oppressor for discovering how much stronger he had become since their last meeting.
Now was the time to see what kind of service the Sayian race had to other him Vegeta was their King a child prodigy at the age of seven he had a power level that rivalled most of the universe best warriors. If Vegeta couldn't prove a challenge to Friezia after all the training facilities and investment the Frost Demon had made what use was the rest of the race? Depending on how much of a challenge Vegeta provided now would determine the fact of his race. Put on a good show and the Frost Demon would just kill all the adults that dared defied him and keep the young grooming them to become the perfect solders for his army. A disappointing display would lead to the Frost Demon blowing up the Sayian's home planet something he was considering many years ago but decided against it when he heard the legend that a Sayian could rise up to the strength of a Frost Demon.
"Such a waste of time" Friezia mused to himself as Vegeta continued to increases his strength and mass the Sayian's arms, legs and chest were beginning to bulge with the new intake of power. "I had such high hopes in you Vegeta. I invested so much time and effort to get you to the level of strength you are today and you decide to throw it all away just to spit me? Why because I murdered your father? That ridiculous old fool nearly got your entire race killed just because he wanted to defy me! I bet you didn't know Daddy had a baby murdered with a power level of ten thousand killed scared that the babe would throw him and later you of the throne! I could have done with that babys power it's potential was almost as high as one of my family… But I dealt with your father for that mistake and allowed you to be king and look at you now welding something that doesn't even compare to my real power and it goes to your head… Pathetic"
As the Frost Demon finished his train of thoughts Vegeta's screaming ceased as the weather and ocean returned to normal almost as if nothing had happened.
The King of Sayian's stood proud his fist clenched at his side in anticipation as his dark purple aura which flickered with black lighting rushed around him around double his own size. A smirk was upon Vegeta's face as he flexed his bulging muscles whose veins where quite visible to the outside world. A stern determination was in the King eyes.
"Sorry for the delay, But I just had so much power in reserve it took a while for me to bring it all out you can surrender now if you wish and I will make your death quick let it be known that the Super Sayian dose so mercy even to scum like you" Vegeta said with a cackle his arms now stretch to display his body and power.
"All that powering up for so little power my my Vegeta you just continue to disappoint me" Freizia said cutly a wicked smile upon his face. "I thought that all that show you did and time you took you would come up with something a little bit more… Impressive"
"Silence" Vegeta roared waveing his right down in an arc the motion of which cause the ocean below him to part in line with the path the hand moved. "I have had enough with your petty talk and I grow tired of your existence. I know you have more power that you are hiding and I want to see it… I want to fight you at your best so when I kill you the whole universe will know that I am the strongest!"
"Very well" Friezia said with a chuckle somewhat amused at the King's outburst. "Since you are my dearest and most favourite pet I will give you the honour before you die of seeing me in my true glory….But using my full power I'm afraid that won't be nessary I estimate that I won't even have to use five percent of my full power to defeat you"
"Shut up and transform" Vegeta roared firing a Ki blast at a mountain vaporising it in one go. "I am tired of you playing around"
"As you wish your highness" Freizia replied bowing mockingly "Just remember that you requested this!"
Hello everyone I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Right I have been speaking again to MrCamtastic (He's a proof reader on a fanfiction called Culture shock I suggest you guys go read it). Now he suggested that I start posting on the 1st and the 15th of each month as you may see I posted this on the 15th of January so I am going to start posting regularly and should be a couple of chapters ahead by the time you read this. I am happy to do this and will make time to make quality chapters and a good story you can all enjoy at a regular schedule but can you guys do something for me? Please review my work I can't tell you how much it means to me and motivates me to write when someone gives me praise and how much it makes me want to be better when someone critics me. I don't want to sound like I'm trying to get as many reviews as possible but if I know you love the story and as passionate as I am about it. It will give me the kick up the back side I need to finish it and I want to. Plus tell your friends XD
Right enough about that back to the chapter. I hope you enjoyed the fight between Friezia and Vegeta they were both somewhat evenly match though out this chapter and I hope I displayed that. I hope you guys all now know why the Sayian's are now alive and why Friezia is not scared of the super sayian legend as he was before he seeks to use their power to aid him.
I also hope you guys don't disagree to much with the reasons why Goku can't be revived with Namek magic after he had the heart attack. My thought behind this is the senzu beans didn't work while he had a the heart virus and they healed basically anything in cannon. And the fact the dragonballs couldn't bring back anyone who died naturally (Most people say it's because Nameks don't believe in bringing people back to life) But I think it's more to do with the fact they're magic is not able to help someone whose dying with natural causes. (If it's a culture thing wouldn't Kami's dragonballs be able to bring someone who died naturally or couldn't they have just wished Goku's heart virus away. Kami lived on Earth so he wouldn't be influence by any culture) I also hope you don't mind the fact that Moori couldn't really explain how is magic healing or the dragonballs work. I kinda was thinking on the lines of How Kami just made the Dragonball's because he felt compelled to do so and that he didn't really know what he was doing when he made earths set but it all just seemed to fall into place. I think it brings a certain mystery about the whole race if not even their own people know why they do the things they do and give me a huge origin story opportunity =D.
Anyways I talked too much and your probably tired of me now XD until the next one.
Dragonballat out x
Note I already got the next chapter written I will now be posting this story on a regular schedule so expect a chapter on the 15th and 1st of each month so next chapter will be out 1st February and trust me it's the best one I have done s far
