Chapter 8: Refrigatom Splits
"That's it!" Vegeta exclaimed. "I can't take anymore of these amateurs! Let me show you how it's done, Carrottop!" He, too, began to attack Refrigatom. And that didn't work either even with Goku doing it at the same time. So, Piccolo decided to help, too. And none of them even managed to brush Refrigatom with their multiple attacks.
But they kept on trying. And they kept on trying. Actually, all of this took several episodes but it very hard to explain what they were doing during it all. And even though they never even came close, they kept on trying it.
"Do you think anything's going to happen any time soon?" asked Yamcha.
"Nope." Tien replied.
"Wanna go get a taco?"
"Sure." They began to fly off.
"Wait for me!" Chao Su cried.
"You guys get back here!" Trunks called. "With the way things are going we're going to need your help really soon!" So, they came back down and watched.
Goku suddenly landed and stopped attacking. All of a sudden, he grabbed his chest and keeled over.
"What happened?!" Chao Su exclaimed.
"It looks like Goku had another heart attack!" Yamcha answered. Both Piccolo and Vegeta had turned to see what happened and Refrigatom had begun to beat both of them up.
Trunks was staring at the ground and kicking around some dirt.
"Trunks, you're on!"
"Oh!" He suddenly looked extremely mad and began turning into a Super Saiyan. But then there was a puff of smoke and part of his hair went down purple again.
"I think I blew I fuse," he said.
"Just keep going!"
"Okay," Trunks replied. He looked up at Refrigatom enraged and began to attack him (without anybody else). Refrigatom was still dodging everything and nothing seemed to be working.
"Hey, he's pretty good!" Goku said.
"Huh?!" Tien exclaimed. "I thought he..." But they left it alone.
Trunks was shooting a big laser thing at Refrigatom, and it was pink so that means something. But, Refrigatom still dodged it.
"Wait a minute," Trunks said, "I've got it!" He began preparing for an attack that would defeat Refrigatom.
"No you don't!" Vegeta exclaimed. "We, I mean, I want all of the glory!"
"But I really think I should..."
"That's it, you're grounded!"
"Okay," Trunks replied. "I guess I'll go back to the future." He went back to normal and something hit his face. "Oh man, my hair grew again!" He flew off back toward his time machine.
Vegeta and Piccolo had begun to attack Refrigatom again. Suddenly, the rock that had landed on Gohan and Krillin began rising and Krillin was lifting it up with what seemed to be the last of his strength.
He lifted up one of his arms and shouted, "Distructo disk!" as the rock went crashing back on top of him. But, the attack was successful and it sliced Refrigatom right across his waist!
"Yes!" Yamcha exclaimed. "We beat him!" Just then, the two halves sprouted the rest of his body. There were now two Refrigatoms.
Everybody started freaking out. The Refrigatoms began laughing. "You should have realized that a wimpy attack like that could never defeat me!" one said.
"We've got to attack them now before they destroy us all!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"But..." Chao Su began.
"Come on!" Piccolo flew up and began punching and kicking at one of the Refrigatoms. Vegeta took the other one because he didn't want to be left out. The four stood around watching.
"Goku, why don't you do something?" Yamcha asked.
"Uh, I don't know," he answered. "I think I need to rest a while so I don't pass out again."
In the meantime, Vegeta and Piccolo had unsuccessfully finished their assaults. "We've got to find some way to beat them, even if it takes up all of our strength!" Piccolo said. "After all, you only live once! Oh wait..."
"Do you want me to help?!" Goku called.
"That would be nice," Piccolo answered. Goku went back to Super Saiyan (of course he left it during the heart attack!) and shot two laser things at the Refrigatoms, which missed him by a mile.
"You can do better than that, you pathetic excuse for a Saiyan!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"I'm not a Saiyan!" Goku answered. "Wait, I kinda have to be, don't I?" The three of them then attempted to do defeat Refrigatom(s) by doing the exact same things they were doing earlier, which, of course, didn't work.
Things eventually came down to having Piccolo up against one of the Refrigatoms, while Goku took the other one and Vegeta complained about it. He began, well, punching and kicking furiously at him, which hasn't worked through this entire story but I guess they were hoping that something would come out of it this time. Refrigatom, however, dodged them easily even though he was talking to himself (that is possible now) at the same time.
"I really think we should end this now, don't you?" Refrigatom said.
"Yes," Refrigatom agreed, "but first these little maggots have to stop bothering us!" Piccolo then started to punch at a slower, but harder, rate, which, obviously, made that more easier for Refrigatom to dodge. Goku wasn't having much luck on the other side either by shooting several different laser attacks at him that all missed and probably blew up some poor defenseless things in the distance. Vegeta was still complaining.
Piccolo, however, had reverted to laser attacks and shot a whole bunch of different colored things and yelled a whole bunch of weird words but none of them worked.
