Chapter 5: The Battle Begins—Won't Frieza Fight?
Gohan stepped back a few feet as King Cold stepped forwards at him. Gohan was too overcome with fear to do anything, and Goku wasn't exactly in any kind of position to help. Gohan suddenly phased behind King Cold in an effort to topple the monster. As Gohan reappeared and chambered a kick, King Cold's fist drove into Gohan's face. Gohan fell back onto the ground as a little blood trickled from his lip. Gohan got up and ran at Cold. Cold stood with his arms crossed, unmoving. Gohan got within range to throw a punch, when Cold sidestepped and kneed Gohan in the chest. Gohan then collapsed to his knees, struggling to breathe.
"Gohan!!" Goku yelled as his rage began increasing. Cold stepped up to where Gohan lay and threw a kick into his stomach. Gohan was knocked into the side of building. He remained stuck for a moment before he fell to the ground.

Frieza looked at the wounded bird and his parents in the tree. Frieza was then overcome with a wave of realization. 'Had that little bird been killed and not returned to his parents, then not only will one life be lost, but two more damaged beyond repair…and those birds' relatives would have been hurt, although not as much as the parents, and then their relatives and friends and their relatives and friends…just like a pebble being thrown into a pond,' Frieza picked up a small stone and tossed into the lake in the center of the park, nearby.
'The ripple begins with an action, the tossing of a pebble, or the death of a bird…then ripples come out, just like the effect the parents would have felt…as the parents tell their family and friends, the ripple of damage continues, but lessens every time it expands itself…The entire pond is effected by the stone to some degree…just as the population of birds, to some degree…'

Gohan gasped for breath as he slowly picked himself up off the ground. Cold laughed at him before he dropped his elbow into Gohan's back. Gohan collapsed to the ground once again. Nearby, Goku watched in horror as each blow brought his son closer and closer to death. Goku gritted his teeth. His hair turned gold as energy engulfed him. Goku's energy lit up the energy bubble that surrounded him. Goku let out a cry as he powered up to Super Saiyan. Goku put his hands to his side. "Ka," King Cold looked over at him with a look that said, 'you're wasting your energy.' "Me…ha…me…………," Goku called out as energy crackled between his hands. Goku shoved his hands forward. "HA!!!!!!" A blinding blue flash of light came from inside the bubble. The light spread out for many feet, distorting shadows and inverting colors. After a couple moments of the flash, the light died down, the bubble still intact. Having used all the energy he had, Goku's hair had returned to normal. He then collapsed backwards.
King Cold picked up Gohan by the hair. Gohan cried out in pain. Cold lifted the boy up to his head level. Cold laughed. "Now kid, you die!"

Frieza continued thinking over the effects of death, unknowing of the battle going on. 'The death of a single bird would have affected the entire bird world by some degree…the same goes for the human world…I killed hundreds! Thousands! Millions! Entire planets without giving it a second thought!" Frieza choked up a bit. "Entire planets are gone with one movement of the wrist!" Frieza made a swift move with his hand. "Hundreds more planets would suffer because of my one action…THAT'S IT!!" Frieza got up from where he was sitting. "I will not it allow anymore! I will not allow the world to suffer again! If King Cold want's to destroy the world, he'll have to go through me first!!!" Frieza shot off towards the fading plumes of smoke.

Cold threw punch after punch into Gohan's face. After each hit, blood spewed onto the pavement below. Cold, still having hold of Gohan's hair, drove his knee into Gohan's chest. Gohan coughed up blood as the knee connected. Cold then dropped Gohan onto the ground. King Cold walked a few feet away from Gohan. "What's wrong kid? Choking on your blood!?" Cold then began laughing. Gohan slowly got up to his feet. After a moment, he flew at King Cold to attack. Cold looked over his shoulder at Gohan. As soon as Gohan's attack was about to connect, Cold spun around and drove his elbow into Gohan's face. Gohan flew back from the force as blood ran from his mouth. Cold then rapped his tail around Gohan's legs. Cold brought Gohan back to him, so they were facing away from each other. Cold then elbowed Gohan in the spine. Gohan coughed a lot blood up. Cold then grabbed Gohan in a strangle hold and began choking him with his forearm.
"Now is when you die, kid!! There's nobody here to save you! You're dad's down for the count, and Mommy isn't here to help!! There's no way you can escape!!" Cold said as he prepared to break Gohan's spine.
"DAICHIRETSUZAN!!!!" A voice boomed from behind Cold. Cold was about to turn to see what it was, when an energy blade cut through his tail. Cold dropped Gohan and cried out in agony. Dark blood poured freely from Cold's severed tail. Cold looked around and saw Frieza, hovering about a hundred yards away with two fingers extended.
"FRIEZA!?!? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Cold cried out angrily. Frieza didn't respond. Instead, he shot a finger beam into Goku's bubble prison. After a moment, the bubble shattered and Goku fell to the ground. Frieza then floated over to where Cold was standing and set himself down.
(A/N : It begins…Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! …sorry. Anyways, from here on, the chapters will be longer and better, more action, blood, and be sure to tune in next time for CHAPTER 6: The Cold War (hahahahahaha, pardon the pun, please don't hurt me!).
