Dragonball: The Chill Saga

Chapter 6: Battle Royal


There seemed to be an odd silence that decended over the land. All Vegeta could hear
was the slight gust of wind that made his hair move slightly. Directly in front of him stood
Lord Chill, son of Frieza and the one he had been sent to kill.
Chill was interesting. He almost looked like a combination of both Frieza and King
Cold. He very much resembled Frieza in his final form, however he was just slightly larger
and muscular, he wore the standard type of armour, only completed with a thick black cape,
and his head resembled Colds a lot more that Frieza's, what with the horns and all.
"So. You're the great Chill." Vegeta said, unimpressed. "I was expecting a little
more than a cheap immitation of Frieza." Chill seemed unscathed by the remark.
"Oh, I can easily assure you that I'm more than just a lookalike. My power goes far
behond that of my fathers, or anything you could comprehend, Super Saiya-jin." Chill boasted,
but Vegeta was unmoved.
"All right then, how about you show me what you've got?" said Vegeta. Chill just
chuckled to himself and began to power up.
Nothing huge happened for a few seconds. it was the same story as always. His ki
rose slightly, rocks rose from the ground in awe of his power, a distant rumbling got louder,
and finally, an aura of red began to encircle Chill's body.
"Hahaha, now you can finally see the mistake you made in comming to this world!"
laughed Chill as he powered up, letting is ki go up in leaps and bounds. Vegeta was startled
by the huge increases now. The once dim red aura was now exploding around him in a violent
fury, and Chill continued to laugh. Ginyu, who had taken shelter far off also laughed, and
cheered on his master. Vegeta contemplated killing him, but he was an ant. He couldn't do
anything.
Finally, Chill had finished his power up. He stood there, and seemed to be taller
and more threatening. "So, hit me with what you've got, Super Saiya-jin." he said, and again
began to laugh. Vegeta gave an evil smile as well.
"Is that it?" he said, "I admit you surprised me, but you're nowere near me. I'm on
a different level all together. Although, I'd estimate that you're about as strong as Cell
in his perfect form. Not bad, few even make it there."
"What? How can you even begin to compare me with one of your pathetic little back-
water planets warriors?"
Vegeta was tired of talking. He got into a stance, and disapeared altogether. Chill
looked around confused. Suddenly, Vegeta appeared right behind him, and one punch to the
spine sent Chill flying forward, skidding off the ground.
"Amazing, Chill. That punch would have killed your father 100 times over." Vegeta
taunted. Chill could barely move. He looked up to see Vegeta standing right over him. He
jumped to his feet and threw a devastating punch to Vegeta, who doged it. Chill yelled out
in fury and unleashed a barrage of punches, kicks and ki blasts, all of which Vegeta doged,
until he got tired of this, and punched Chill again, only this time in the face.
Again, Chill got up, this time with a bloody nose, and an evil look on his face.
"Damn you, monkey!" he yelled, and sent a huge blast of red ki Vegeta's way. Vegeta smiled,
put up two hands, and returned the blast, making sure only to match Chill's attack. He didn't
want to kill the miserable tyrant yet, mearly exauhst him.
It went on for a few more minutes, before Chill finally broke off the competition.
He leaped to the side, allowing Vegeta's attack to go by. Vegeta didn't seem all that tired,
but Chill was panting hard.
"So, the Super Saiya-jin does exist." he said bitterly.
"Oh, but you havn't seen a Super Saiya-jin yet." he told Chill. "Although I'd be more
than happy to show you one."
Chill showed a moment of panic in his eyes for a second, but it passed. "You can't
be serious." he said. But Vegeta didn't listen, he was copying Chill's power up, only it was
far more spectacular. He rose his ki ten times faster than Chill, and a brilliant yellow
aura, given off by his ki, seemed to envelop the surrounding area. Chill took a few steps
back wide eyed. "Impossible..." he managed.
After a while, Vegeta let out a yell that seemed to echo around the terrain, and it
looked as if he had exploded. Chill averted his eyes, and when he looked again, he saw
Vegeta, golden haired, and with a power so strong coming from him that it froze Chill down
to the bone.
"Now," Vegeta said, with a more evil and confident look, "You see a Super Sayia-jin."
Chill stood, completely frozen. Ths new being was all powerfull, and yet...he couldn't loose,
not to a monkey!
Chill let out a roar, and disapeared. Vegeta wasn't fooled. He turned around and hit
the alien in his already broken nose. Chill kicked Vegeta, who ducked, and hit him in the
torso. The blow knocked him back into the forest. Chill still wasn't done! He flew out of
the forest, and powered up a huge ki ball, which took half a minute to make. He then sent it
at Vegeta, who tapped it off harmlessly to the side. He glared at Chill, and Chill swore at
him.
Chill flew to the ground, out of breath. He'd never seen such a powerfull opponent.
Vegeta stood there, cross armed, looking very satisfied.
"So, you can see what a true Super Saiya-jin is now." he said. "However, this isn't
even the peak of my power." Chill was visibly shaken by this.
"Often times, a Saiya-jin can surpass even the levels of Super Saiya-jin, to create
a truly ultimate warrior. As much as I've tried, I could never reach any of these levels.
That is, until now!"
Chill took some more steps back, and Vegeta began to power up. He had never truly
tried this, but he was sure it would work. Once more, he powered up, but this was unlike any
time before. This time he had to use everything he had. It all started at once, the power
burst from him like water out of a baloon. The sound his ki made was almost deafaning. Vegeta
let out a yell of power, the exertion wanted to make him collapse. But he didn't give up.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" he yelled, both for the process of boosting his ki and to scare
the hell out of Chill. His bones felt like they were being ground to powder by the pressure
that he felt that he was in. Especially his head. It was as if it were being crushed between
two giant hands. The veins on his forehead reached record high.
Then, all at once, the yellow colour that surrounded him became faint, and he could
see through it again. His whole body felt releaved at first, and then...powerfull. He couldn't
see himself, but he knew that he had reached the mark. He outstreached a hand backwards, and
he got a handfull of thick golden hair. He had gone Super Saiya-jin level 3! This took a
while to dawn, but when it did, he felt euphoria.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So this is what you felt, every time you went SSJ3. No wonder you're
always so damn happy. The exileration is almost overwhelming!" He said all this with a smile
on his face, and Chill was convinced that he had lost his mind.
When Vegeta had composed himself again, he turned to Chill, who was looking even more
dumbfounded than before. "So, here I am at my best." Vegeta said. "Now we'll see if you're
really a match for me."
Chill looked at him, not knowing what to do. There was no chance of him beating this
kind of warrior. But he had to try! He wouldn't die on his knees, begging for his life.
"All right." He said to himself quietly. "Let's do this." Vegeta stood, arms folded,
looking confident.
Chill started the fight again, this time using all his power. He zoomed right up to
Vegeta and let out his strongest punch he could manage. The very sound of the impact made
the leaves in the trees rustle. It was a direct hit! But Chill's victory dissolved quickly,
as he realized that the reason he had hit Vegeta was because it didn't even affect him! He
looked into his opponents confident eyes, and was quite sure that he would die this day.

Vegeta was feeling quite the opposite. It had been so long since he had taunted an
enimy like this, and forgot what kind of feeling it brought. He could have ended this a long
time ago, but he had to exact evey drop of vengence that he owed Frieza.
Vegeta realised that he had actually lost himself in thought while Chill was pound-
ing away at him. This almost made Vegeta laugh. Chill wasn't as weak as he thought, actually.
Some of his attacks almost brought pain to Vegeta, but he was always good at making himself
appear so much stronger. This wasn't neccesary anymore; going SSJ3 had given such ultimate
power.
Chill was looking weak now, and Vegeta decided to give him a short break. Without a
word, he flew into the air, about a kilometer into the air. He looked down to see Chill and
the pathetically weak Ginyu talking. Were they actually devising a plan? No plan could help
them at this point.
They broke off the conversation after a minute or two, and to Vegeta's surprise,
Ginyu vanished. Chill looked up and ever so slowly rose to Vegeta's level. Vegeta waited im-
patiently. Almost as if he were trying to buy some time.
"So, are you ready to give up this pointless fight? I could kill you with some honour
if you like." said Vegeta.
Chill snorted. "I would never give up to a stupid monkey like you. I'll fight until
my last breath."
"You're just about on your last breath, you fool. But, if that's the way you want it,
then it's fine with me." Vegeta raised a hand, preparing to blow him down to a molecular
level with a ki blast, but Chill stoped him.
"Wait. I still have one technique I'd like to try on you, before you finish me."
Vegeta paused. Another technique? What could hurt him? Well, no danger in finding
out what it was. "Alright, let's see what you've got." Vegeta relaxed himself.
It all happened at once. Chill sent a ki blast towards Vegeta. It hit, not harming
him in the least. It did, however, cause a lot of smoke, disabling his vision. Suddenly,
Chill grabbed him from behind, grabbing him from under his arms and behind his head. Vegeta
almost laughed at this. No hold could ever hope to hold him. Then, suddenly, he felt a great
weakness. It was as if his ki was dropping, and fast. At first, he powered up, thinking he
had gotten lazy, but finally, when the smoke from Chill's attack cleared, he saw what was
really going on.
Ginyu, who had reapeared, was in front of him, holding a device to his chest. Vegeta
recognized it. It was the same type of thing that stole Gohan's energy, when Babidi was att-
empting to release Buu. He suddenly realized the danger of this. He tried to break free of
Chill's grasp, but he had lost a lot of energy when he had tried to power up. He wasn't in
SSJ3 anymore. Chill must have also been a little stronger than he had been letting on.
"Shit..." he managed, as he used the last of his energy to escape. But it was no use,
the more he exerted himself, the more he could feel his energy being sucked away. Chill was-
n't laughing, however. He was obviously hard pressed just to keep Vegeta under his control.
But Vegeta knew that it was too late. He reverted back to his normal self, and soon passed
out in exauhstion.

"HAHAHAHAHA! How ironic, the sheer arrogence of the Super Saiya-jin turns out to be
his downfall!" Chill laughed, as he took the lamp from Ginyu. It was one of his new toys,
that his men captured only recently. He didn't know if the ancient artifact could hold so
much energy, but as it turned out, it could.
The fact that he had beaten the arrogent Super Saiya-jin wasn't the best part, how-
ever. If one were to hold the tip to their mouth, they could literaly suck the power out of
the flask.
"Drink it, master! You can become the strongest being in the universe once again!"
ranted on Ginyu. Chill contemplated killing him for his impudence, but ginyu was a good
officer...
Chill put the end into his mouth, inhaled deeply, and felt the raw surge of power
enter his body. The power of a Super Saiya-jin level 3 was about to be his...
