Last Time:

Ash and Yamcha were just about to take off when Bulma said; "You are not leaving me here! I'm coming too. Either one of you guys carries me or I'll take my plane."

Walking over to his girlfriend, Yamcha picked her up. "Come on Ash. We gotta catch up to Vegeta."

Following the older man, Ash flew off to face the creature that had killed his father.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ash's eyes widened as he landed. There were two incredible ki signatures coming from the ridge. Looking at all the people around him, Ash could only recognize Bluma, Vegeta, Yamcha, Tien, Chau-Tsu, and Piccolo. Ash had no idea who the little bald man or the raven-headed boy were.

As if sensing his confusion, Bulma leaned over and whispered to Ash, "The guy with no hair is Krillin and the other one is Gohan."

'Gohan?' Ash thought. He recognized the name, but from where? Looking over to his mentor, Ash saw that Piccolo was listening as the boy... no, Gohan chatted. Then it hit him! Gohan was Piccolo's former student. Piccolo had... had died for him! Ash was subdued. Looking back and fourth between the two seasoned warriors, he saw a sort of fondness between the two.

Ash felt a sort of tingling in the air as someone on the ridge powered up quickly, but it soon faded. It was almost as if the person had lost control...

"... But we shouldn't fly." Krillin's voice broke through Ash's thoughts.

"Maybe we could walk?" Came Gohan's reply.

"Yeah, we should walk. That way Freeze won't notice all of us." Yamcha said and Ash could detect a slight tremor of fear in the man's voice.

"Freeza should have men there. We need to get rid of them first." Vegeta said as he began to walk over to the ridge.

"Hey wait up!" cried Bulma as she tried to catch up to the Prince of Saiyans.

Slowly, the rest of the group began to make their way up the cliff when they heard it. The voice was soft, but demanding.

"Trying to destroy earth? I don't think I can let you do that."

As one, the group peered over the ledge and was quite surprised at what they saw. There was mysterious boy had lavender hair with the Capsule Corporation logo on his jacket. He wore dark pants and had a sword strapped in a scabbard behind his back. He was just standing there, in front of one of the strongest fighters in the universe.

"So," said the lavender haired teen, "You must be Freeza."

The group behind the cliff watched as Freeza and the strange boy spoke.

"If you don't leave, I will destroy you."

Freeza just laughed sensing his minuscule power, "I don't think so." Turning towards his father's army, the androgynous creature yelled, "Kill him!"

The captain of the army laughs as the kid with a power level of five threatens to kill Freeza. Sending his men into battle, the captain, as well as the Z Warriors, watch in amazement as the army is destroyed one by one.

The last of King Cold's henchmen came crawling towards Freeza, "Lord Freeza..."

The henchmen never got to finish his sentence as he was cut off by Freeza shoving his hand through his stomached and killing him.

Ash could feel the bile rise up in his throat as he watched as Freeza ripped his father's soldier's guts out and heard the soldier chock on his own blood.

'That's not possible.' Vegeta thought as he felt the mysterious boy's ki pulse. 'He's... a Saiyan!'

King Cold gave the mysterious boy a once over, "You fought pretty well, didn't you?"

Freeza snorted, "Yeah, for an Earthling."

The teen did not say anything. He merely turned to King Cold and Freeza and said, "You're next."

King Cold just laughed, "Oh, this is amusing! He thinks he's going to kill us!"

Freeza just stared at the unknown boy and snorted, "The brat doesn't know his place."

The youth did not say anything but continued to stare at Freeza, his glare never wavered.

"How about I teach you an important lesson? Those who only thing they are strong are killed first." Freeza said as his anger increases steadily.

The youth looked Freeza in the eye and said, "You mean like yourself."

Freeza's eyes widened, "What did you say?" Never did it occur to him that there had been only one other creature that had spoke to him in this manner, a certain Saiyan Prince.

The youth smirked, "Well, you've been reduced to that absurd form, you must have a lot of nerve to come here just to be killed."

Shaking with rage, Freeza spat out, "You're quite the smart ass. Father, I think he needs to be taught a lesson.

King Cold subtly rolled his eyes and said, "I should say so. What he has already destroyed here already is worthy of death."

Freeza, who had managed to calm down marginally said, "Even though my Father and I both know that you don't deserve this, but I will be your executioner. You should feel honoured."

The youth merely smirked, "Don't waste your time. I will kill you both. This I know."

Freeza smiled, indulging in the youth's naivety, "This you know? Well, isn't that a rather unique expression."

The teen said in a surprising amicable voice, "Come at with everything you have, right from the start. I won't go easy on you as Son Goku did."

King Cold looked confused, "Who is this Son Goku chap?"

Freeza said tersely "The name if the Super Saiyan."

King Cold just laughed.

Turning back towards his adversary, Freeza asked, "So, you're one of his friends?"

"No, we've never me. I only know of him."

"You only know of him?" Freeza snorted.

"You just got finished saying that you were going to kill off all the Earthlings here, before the Super Saiyan arrives, in order to surprise him." Said the youth, changing the topic.

"That's exactly what I said and you're going to be one of them. Of course, since you've killed all my men, it means that I, Freeza, will have to take matters into my own hands now."

"What a mistake on your part.

"What? I can easily destroy earth and all of its vermin in the blink of an eye," Freeza ranted, enraged at the youth's belittling of his powers.

"That is not what I meant. I am speaking of you assumption of Son Goku being the only Super Saiyan. Well, there is another one. In fact he is on earth at this very moment."

"What?"

Freeza paused for a moment, thinking. Then he burst out laughing, "I admire your ability to hold a bluff for so long! It's a shame I have to kill you."

Both Freeza and King Cold laughed at the youth, but he pays no attention to this. Instead began to power up. His power was so immense that the very ground he stood on began to quake.

Freeza was horrified. "It can't be!"

"What's this?" King Cold demanded.

The youth screamed as the quakes grow form mere quivers to large tremors. The youth's hair began to grow and stand up on end. It flickered between its original soft lavender colour to a golden blonde.

The Z Warriors couldn't believe their senses.

"What kind of ki is this?" Tien yelled.

Bulma was panicking. "What's going on?" She asked fearfully.

Gohan mistook this ki for his father's and shouted out joyfully. "It's Father!"

Krillin looked at his best friend's son in shock, "What do you mean?"

Gohan can't keep the excitement out of his voice. "Can't you feel it Krillin? It's the same ki that my father had on Namek!"

Krillin looked up to the ridge in shock." If that's the same ki that Goku had, then that means that..."

Ash was confused. All these people were talking about ki's and Goku. Ash looked over at his Father and opened his mouth, but closed it almost immediately.

Vegeta was deep in thought with a scowl. 'That's impossible! There can't be another Super Saiyan, but there is. And it's not even Kakarot! Now there are two! I must work harder!'

Swallowing hard. Ash tried to ignore is father as he turned his attention back towards the ridge and tried to focus on the battle that was almost at hand.
