"Argh!" cried out Piccolo as he hit the ground face first.
Krillen and Tien had already been knocked out and Yamcha and Choutzu had decided it was best they stay out of the battle to avoid just being in the way. Piccolo was the earth last chance left to stop destruction from a being of such power.
"Hahaha" chuckled the huge beast. "So, Goku's plan didn't quite work out huh? He took Frieza away but he took all the strong fighters with him, forgetting about me. Foolish Saiyan, they never learn." King Cold stood over Piccolo, towering over his body that barely clung to life.
Piccolo struggled to his hands and knees, cuts all over him and a look of endless sharp pain showing in his face, a fear of loss and defeat in his eyes. King Cold turned his back and folded his arms.
"This is perfect, no matter the outcome of Frieza's battle, I am victorious in getting revenge for my son. If he wins, then all the better, but in the off chance that he does lose, Goku and who ever else survives will come back to find nothing but a desolate planet where his friends and family used to be. Fitting revenge for my son if he doesn't make it."
Piccolo's eyes changed from fear and agony to hatred and anger. He removed the concealed Sensu bean from his scarcely intact clothes. He consumed it without King Cold noticing. Piccolo had always been one for battle tactics, he was ready to fight again now. Knowing what was at stake, he was going to give it his all, no room for messing around this time.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Piccolo jumped to his feet and sent a swift punch towards King Cold.
King Cold turned to face the unexpected punch, his ego and made him lower his defence and this punch caught him off guard, catching him perfectly in the gut.
"Argh!" King Cold let out a short cry and fell to his knees with a hand over his stomach as he wheezed and coughed up a spurts of blood. Piccolo kicked him on the jaw sending him backwards, scraping across the ground. Piccolo then powered up and calmly approached the fallen King Cold, a bright, burning yellow aura surrounded the strong fighter. His eyes were fixed on King Cold like a proud eagle to it's weak prey.
"You will not achieve your son's revenge. You will never see him again, as you will die here on this planet and he will die on the distant rock that Goku has taken him to. Goku's not as dumb as... most people think he is. He knew what he was doing. He knew beyond doubt that I could take you out without any problem. I was holding back all this time, so I knew what your plan was, but now... it's time for you to die!"
Piccolo began to gather energy and powered up further.
"N-No! P-Please! I'll change!"
"Too late for that!"
"Wait! No! I promise.. I'll never hurt anyone again!"
"You got that right!" Piccolo smirked at him "SACRED FIRE!!!"
A large beam fired from his hands engulfing King Cold entirely, the blinding light filled the whole area.
"Arrrrgggghhhh!!!!!"
Piccolo knew it was over, King Cold's energy level vanished as his body did. There was nothing let of him. He had been vaporised. He walked over to Krillen and Tien, making sure they were all right, feeding them each a Sensu bean.
--------------------------
Trunks lay beaten on the ground as Gohan attended to him. Goku stood between them and Frieza. His and Frieza's eyes locked.
"Dad, he's not doing so good, he been beaten bad."
"ok son, let's sort him out first, then we'll attend to... smaller problems." he chuckled as he looked over at Frieza as he said that.
He picked up trunks under his arm and put his hand on Gohan's back.
"I'll be back to take you out!"
With this Goku disappeared and reappeared on Earth next to Piccolo and the others.
"Piccolo, sort out Trunks, he needs a Sensu bean. I'll go back and fight Frieza, I'll end this now."
"You got it Goku, good luck!"
"Wait, dad, aren't I going too?"
"No Gohan, I'm going to leave you hear so you aren't in the way, and if I were to lose, you can't get back, at least here you can fight him if I do lose and still live on."
"But dad, what if you need my help, I-I don't want you to die again, please!"
"No son, this is what I need to do. I'll be back, I promise."
"OK dad, you show him!"
"You know I will son!"
Goku placed his fingers to his forehead and began his instant transmission.
"Oh and Piccolo, good job with King Cold!"
Goku appeared infront of Frieza once again.
"Damn you! You Cowardly Monkey! How dare you leave!"
"Shut up Frieza, I'm not about to listen to you, I'm here to wipe you out once and for all!"
"You can not beat me Goku! I am the ultimate fighter! I am indestructible!"
"No Frieza, you are nothing but a bully. You think you can push everyone around by fear and power, you think that no one will ever rise against you. You are wrong Frieza. As the last full blooded Saiyan I will take revenge for my race! I will rise up against you! My father did the same, and because of your under handed ways, he was defeated despite giving a good fight! You killed him Frieza! And now I will avenge his death! I will kill you Frieza! For me! For my father! And for all the Saiyan people! It's time for you to meet your destiny Frieza! Your reign of terror on the universe is over! I will end it! I will show you no mercy!"
Goku took position in his stance, legs bent, eyes fixed, staring Frieza out. Frieza looked back, anger glowing in his eyes, hatred for Goku beamed out. This was it... the final showdown.
