Chapter 3

King Kai: Trunks led Goku off to bed, and insisted that he sleep in his room. Goku was roo well bred to kill, but as soon as Trunks was asleep he went off for his nightly run around the city and in the dark around Capsule Corp. he ran into Yamcha, a human.

Yamcha is an often, cowardly human. He makes up excuses trying to find a way to get out of a fight.

Yamcha: (frightened) Don't kill me, great Goku, don't kill me!

Goku: (scornfully) Do you think an Ice-jin killer kills humans?

Yamcha: (sorrowfully) Those who kill Ice-jins get killed by Ice-jins. How am I to be sure that Frieza won't mistake me for you on some dark night?

Goku: (nonchantly) There's no danger. Frieza can't sense your ki and I know you don't ever power up.

Yamcha: My friend...Krillin...told me -

~ He stopped. ~

Goku: Told you what?

Yamcha: Shh! Frieza is everywhere, Goku. You should've talked to Krillin.

Goku: Well, I didn't. So you must tell me.

~ He powered up a ki blast. ~

Goku: Now, Yamcha. Or I'll blast you.

Yamcha: (very frightened) I'm sorry Goku, but I can't. I can't tell you anything! Can't you fell him, Goku?

~ Goku searched for a high ki reading. The city was as still as still could be, but he though he could feel the faintest ki signature - a signature as faint as that of a human - the low ki signature of an Ice-jin not wanting to be found. ~

Goku: (to himself) That's Frieza or Kooler. And he's at Capsule Corp.
(out loud) You're right, Yamcha; I should've talked to Krillin.

~ He ran back to Capsule Corp. Near the gravity room, Frieza and Kooler were whispering in the moonlight. ~

Kooler: When the house is emptied of people, he will have to go away; and then the planet will be ours once again. Go in quietly, and remember that the prince is the first to kill. Then come out and tell me and we'll both search for Goku.

Frieza: But are you sure there is anything to be gained by killing the prince and his family?

Kooler: Everything. When the prince wasn't living here, did we have any other Saiya-jins on the planet? When he and his heir are gone, we will be the rulers of this planet; and remember that as soon as the eggs outside the city hatch, our young siblings will need people to terrorize.

Frieza: I hadn't thought of that. I'll go, but there's no need to sreach for Goku afterwards. I will kill the prince, his mate, and the child if I can. Then the prince will be gone and Goku will leave.

~ Goku tingled all over with rage and hatred at this. Frieza went into the gravity room and looked around in the dark. Goku saw his eyes glitter. ~

Frieza: This is good. Now when Cell was killed Vegeta was a Super Saiya- jin. He may use that skill, but he won't be at that level when he comes in to train in the morning. I'll wait here until he comes. Kooler - do you hear me? - I'll wait here until daytime.

~ There was no answer, so Goku knew Kooler had left. Frieza found a small area of the room to hide and Goku stayed still as death. After an hour, he began to move, muscle by muscle to the area where Frieza was. Frieza was asleep, and Goku looked him over for a suitable spot to attack. ~

Goku: If I don't somehow get the upper hand, he can still fight; and if he fights - O Goku!

~ He moved closer and continued to look Frieza over. ~

Goku: I guess I'll have to stun him. And once I do, I can't let up.

~ He then powered up to SSJ and jumped. He shot a ki blast waking Frieza. The blast temporarily stunned him allowing Goku to give Frieza as powerful right hook. Frieza countered by lashing out with his tail. Goku had to jump to dodge it. The tail hit some training equipment, causing it to fall to the floor with a loud crash. Goku grabbed the tail, but it wasn't over yet. Frieza then started shooting at Goku wil his eye beams. Goku had to dodge the blasts and still keep a grip on Frieza's tail all at the same time. He was sure that if the beams didn't kill him, the tail would slip and could strangle him to death and, for his family's honor, he would die in the heat of battle. He managed to shoot a blast that blew Frieza's entire top half. By now, he was aching and felt like every muscle in his body had been ripped when a blast flew by and vaporized Frieza. Vegeta had been awakened by the noise and had fired his Gallic Gun right at Frieza. Goku was semi-conscious and was sure he was dead. Vegeta picked him up by the shirt. ~

Vegeta: It's that other Saiya-jin, woman; he's...saved out lives now.

~ Bulma came in with a very white face. Goku managed to drag himself to Trunks' bedroom and spent half the night shaking himself tenderly to find out if every muscle had been ripped as he thought. ~

And that's it for Chapter 3. Next up, the final ( and most likely the longest) chapter. By the way, the final chapter will only come if I see at least ten reviews.
