"Gohan... your father did the right thing."
"I know, but I could do so much more being out there to help him."
"Your father knows he can win this, he has a score to settle between him and Frieza, it's time for him to end this, once and for all. He is the one to do this. His father fought for his race, now it's his turn, no doubt, it will be your turn one day too. You already proved your abilities in your fight against Cell."
"But I should be there, if Frieza does win, I could finish him off, but if he got here, he'd be back to full health again."
"Then you'd be stuck there with no where to go. You'd be as good as dead, you'd be as well self-destructing against him."
"At least I'd rid the universe of that monster though."
"You've been raised well Gohan, you truly are just like your father. Which is why you are finding it hard to do this. You want to protect everyone and so does Goku. He needs to protect you, you have to let him Gohan."
"You're right Piccolo I just hope he gets back fine."
"He will Gohan... he always does"
-----------------------------------
"Bring it on you stupid monkey! I am the ultimate being, I have transcended all that is! You cannot beat me! You are nothing but a puny little Saiyan! I have wiped out countless of your kind with a single finger, you are no different from the rest! I shall take you out just like all the rest!"
"There has always been phenomenal strength in my family, you destroyed my people because you knew what we had within us. I shall show you that strength! I'll hold back nothing Frieza! This is the end... for you!"
Goku began to power up, his hair swayed in his aura, fixing it's self in a more upright position, growing a little in length. His muscles bulked a little, the ground broke away and rose with his energy as he cried out from the power flowing through him. Sparks appeared slowly, jumping around him... filling his bright golden aura. He had mastered the Super Saiyan Stage 2 power. Frieza looked at him... laughing.
"HA! You think you can beat me with that! Your son tried that on me, it did nothing. The "ascended Super-Saiyan" the legend of the Super-Saiyan was bad enough, there is no such thing as an ascended Super-Saiyan! You are no different, it's nothing but a fancy light show!"
"We'll see Frieza! Enough talk!!!"
With this Goku vanished and appeared behind Frieza kicking him hard on the back, sending him upwards with great speed. He then moved above Frieza in a flash, punching him hard across the jaw. Frieza was sent hurling backwards, crashing through tall peaks of rocks as he did so. He did not come to rest until he had been smashed through four of these peaks and eventually lost all his momentum at the back of a cave that his body itself had carved into the cliff due to the force of Goku's punch. Goku waited outside for Frieza to emerge from his dark tunnel. He waited, eyes fixed on the cave. With a brilliant flash of purple, a long thin beam of energy shot out- it was Frieza's finishing attack, the one he used to kill Vegeta back on Namek. Goku smashed the beam out of his way with the back of his fist, revealing a charging Frieza. Frieza plunged his hand through Goku's stomach, but then, Goku's image faded, it was an afterimage. Goku struck Frieza from behind, smashing him towards the ground. When only a few feet away, Frieza stopped his own descent, a burning purple aura surrounded him. He placed his feet on the ground.
"Damn You Monkey! This cannot be!!"
Frieza clenched his fists and built up his energy, his aura grew brighter, his power increased.
"I... will... not... let... you... WIN!!!"
The ground around him exploded into pieces, his aura increased in intensity he was unleashing his full power.
"Finally Frieza... you won't hold back, I want you to know that when I finish you... you didn't stand a chance!"
A smirk appeared on Goku's face, turning Frieza's grin into a growl, his enthusiastic eyes into a gaze of evil. With this Frieza moved infront of Goku in a blink of an eye, launching a full power punch at Goku, making contact with nothing but air, Goku span round from behind Frieza attacking the back of his head. Yet, he could not make contact either. Frieza turned and put a well placed punch into Goku's gut, Goku retaliated with a knee to the face, and followed up with a strong, deep blow to the gut. Goku continued his assault, knocking Frieza back. Goku then raised two clenched fists and pounded Frieza to the ground. he then flew up above and fired a wave of ki balls at Frieza. From the blast and kicked up dust Frieza emerged, an aggressive look staining his face. Goku and Frieza lashed out at each other with wave after wave of kicks and punches. Again, not one punch made a good contact. They both touched down on the planet once again. Looking at each other, ones eyes fixed on the others. In an instant, both flew towards each other. Frieza flung a punch, but Goku caught it. He then countered with a punch, but this was caught by Frieza. This grapple of fists quickly turned into a test of strength. Their aura's merged into one huge bright aura, the power was tremendous. The whole planet shook, the ground beneath them broke away, turning into a huge crater. Their power was even, it was a stalemate, the only one at loss in this struggle was the planet, which was being torn apart in this area. Goku and Frieza's eyes were staring deep into the others.
"I can't let him win, he will just g back to earth and terrorise my friends... my family... he is evil, he hasn't changed, he never will. I have to take him down, I will not let him hurt my friends!", thought Goku as he was locked in this war of power.
Flashbacks start.....
Frieza raised a finger and fired a shot towards the surprised Goku, the thin purple stream of energy was headed straight for Goku's heart. He was too shocked to move. He had used all he had on that Spirit Bomb, but Frieza still stood. It approached Goku... fast.
"Ahh! Piccolo! No!!"
"Aghhhh!!"
Piccolo fell to the ground, bleeding from the wound, a gaping hole through his body, too close to his heart to be considered fortunate. Piccolo had sacrificed himself for Goku, anger built up inside of him. He peered over at Frieza- not knowing whether to help his friend, or attack.
------------------------
"H-Help! I-I can't move!"
Frieza closed his hands. An evil smirk passed over his face. He was angry. Goku had surprised him with the spirit bomb, it was now time for his revenge!
The scream was heard clearly as Krillen's body was blasted into dust. Goku could take it no longer. The rage... it was too much to bear. He couldn't stand around any longer, his friends were being killed infront of his very eyes. No longer would he be beaten down, he was going to win. He clenched his fists tight. His teeth were crunching together.
"N-No! No more! You aren't going to kill anyone else!"
His eyes flashed a light, mystical green. Simultaneously, his hair flashed a bright, golden yellow. The power was beyond his control, it was a mere instinctive force, his body coursed with a new power. The flashing of this change began to become more rapid, then it stayed. Goku had did it. He had become a Super Saiyan.
Flashbacks End.....
----------------------------
The memories coursed through him. The anger, the need. It was just as he told Gohan, the Super Saiyan ability was not move you gained, it was a need. Sheer emotion, a flow of raw emotional pain.
"I... will... not... let... you... win... Frieza! Never!!!"
He felt it again, that emotion, the flow, the rage. He was once again faced with the need to be stronger. The pain of thinking of all those that would suffer if he were to lose this battle, it was too much for him. He needed to win. His hair swayed more, growing longer and thicker. It stretched down his back, fanning out, becoming a huge mass of hair. His eyebrows faded away and his forehead expanded, becoming more prominent. He bulked up considerably, his muscles doubling in size. His aura began to glow brighter as the light engulfed both him and Frieza. Goku let go of Frieza's hands and before Frieza even knew what was happening, he had Goku's sturdy knee stuck deep in his stomach. he then appeared behind Frieza and done a round house to the back of his head. He then appeared infront of Frieza, and kicked him skyward. Appearing above Frieza, Goku smashed him toward the ground. Frieza crawled his way from the rubble, struggling to his feet.
"Im-Impossible!"
"I'm guessing this is a third Super-Saiyan stage. I was wondering if I could go further. I guess so."
"No! This-This cannot be! Why do I need to be beaten by such lowly lifeforms! I am Frieza! Ruler of The Universe! I will not be defeated by some stupid, low-class monkey!!"
"Sorry Frieza... but I'm not giving you a choice. You will now pay for all the pain and suffering that you've caused!"
Goku took his stance, his hands in a rounded position at the side of his torso, about waist level. Energy began to form and gather, collecting into one single ball of power.
"KAAA-MEEEE-HAAAA-MEEEEE...." Goku gathered more energy as Frieza stood, paralysed in fear and shock. "....HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
Goku forced his hands forward and let the energy he had gathered loose. It headed straight at Frieza with terrifying force and speed. Frieza raised his hands in hopes of guarding himself, both him and Goku knew that he did not stand a chance. The beam swallowed Frieza's body whole, it had no defence good enough to protect from this attack, his body disintegrated under the beams strength. It was over. Frieza had been beaten... once and for all.
"That's for Vegeta... he sacrificed himself for his race. He fought vigorously, even when he knew he could not win, he thought on. He is a true warrior. One of great honour, supreme nobility. He is indeed a hero, and well worthy of his bloodline. He fought and died for his loved ones, although he never admitted it, he cared about everyone on Earth, that's why he had to do what he did."
Vegeta watched over from the other dimension as Goku spoke of him.
"Kakarot..." Memories of his family swept in. He thought of all he had lost, but all that those close to him gained. He may not be human, but he had found the humanity within his soul. A small, lonesome tear trickled down his cheek. "... Thank you."
The End
