In a regeneration tank in friezas damaged ship Ranma jerked feeling the massive serge of power. The computer started beeping as it completed its job and started the process of waking the saiyjin in its bowels. Ranma jerked again sensing something was greatly wrong as the tank started emptying the liquids from around him. He grunted softly opening his eyes and looked up feeling the world still shaking.

He blinked a few times feeling King Kais touch and stared at the feeling of horrible dread in him "Ranma. Your awake." kai said sadly. Ranma nodded "whats going on King Kai?" Kai sighed covering his face "Frieza attacked while you were out. He... he killed your unborn child. And it looks like.... it looks like he just killed Goku, I can't sense him anymore, Piccolos very wounded and Friezas gone looking for your children. He caved in Rankos ribs Ranma, Chichi and Gohan have no chance to stop him." he said in despair.

Ranma jerked and exsploded in fire as he roared into the sky, the metal of the ship parting like paper. He shook standing there in rage sensing what he told was true, he could feel the agony both of them had suffered. He screamed into the sky and Friezas ship melted under the golden wave that exsploded as he flashed off towards the great power he knew was his enemy.

Piccolo groaned softly pushing himself up off the ground and staggered to the great pit he could hear Gokus ragged breathing coming from. He grunted slowly floating into it and grabbed the badly beaten saiyjin and tried to fly out of the pit when something struck them and they screamed slamming into the ground "going somewhere?" Frieza sneered at them.

Goku snarled trying to get up, the golden flicker around him powering up again. Frieza hit him again sending him back to the ground "its amazing you lived monkey, I am impressed. I guess I really didn't have anything to worry about from a super saiyjin." he sneered grinding his foot into Gokus chest. Goku bellowed in pain struggling weakly and all of them looked up in shock hearing a primal howl of insane rage as the ground rumbled under them. They looked shocked at the golden inferno raging towards them and Frieza jumped up intending to attack the new threat when he was hit.

Piccolo and Goku shouted in pain as the shock wave struck them and they heard Frieza scream in pain from the blow. Goku forced himself up to his feet and blinked along with Piccolo hearing King Kai urgently contact them "guys! You need to get to the dragon and make the last wish now! Kami used the earth dragonballs to wish everyone Vegeta and Frieza killed back to life! I want you to phrase the wish exactly like this. I wish everyone on namek but Frieza was on earth. You have to hurry! Namek is going to exsplode any minute!!"

Both looked at each other and Ranma who had calmed his raging emotions to listen "no! I'm staying to kill this murdering bastard!!" Ranma roared at them. He fixed Goku with a hatred filled eye "get everyone else gone, I'm staying." he snarled softly. He looked at Ranma and nodded shortly powering up his super saiyjin ability again and Ranma blinked seeing the same golden aura around him surrounding Goku. They nodded to each other before Goku took off towards the darkening sky where he could sense the dragon.

Ranma turned around and darted at Frieza seeing him try to stop them "no you don't!!" he roared carving a twenty foot deep trench in the ground as he struck him again. Frieza screamed in rage striking back and Ranma caught the wrist and crushed it as his fist disappeared into his stomach and chest causing ripples in the air and great booming sounds to exsplode around them. Freiza bent over at the waist coughing up a great deal of blood as Ranma released his grip sending him sailing away from him.

Ranma shook in the middle of his inferno as he waited for the purple alien to get back up "you worthless monkey!! I am the greatest warrior to be born!! You can't beat me!!!" he screamed exsploding with released might. He roared starting to grow bigger as the energy grew and Ranma tensed up waiting grimly, he wanted this monster to feel all of the pain, and he wanted to give Goku and Piccolo time to make the wish.

He looked up and to the left as he saw the great flash of light arrowing off into the sky and nodded feeling the wave of disappearances that ment they had suceeded. Frieza took Ranmas distraction as a chance and slammed into the relieved saiyjin with his full terrible might. Ranma flipped over and started trading horrendiously fast and strong blows, both of them starting to bleed from the encounter.

Ranma grinned wiping the blood from his lip as they broke apart and Frieza screamed at him "why are you smiling monkey!!!?" he bellowed gripping his fists. Ranma grinned visciously "because its my turn now." he said and screamed into the heavens releasing all of his restraints and let his all exsplode out from him. He roared cupping his hands and Frieza dodged out of the way as Ranmas blast cut a chasm deeper then the grand canyon in the ground.

Lava exsploded from it as the world started shaking harder, its already disintegrating mass farther broke. Both of them almost lost their footing as a great roaring sound came to them. Frieza sneered "even if you win, you lose!!" he cackled at him.

Ranma snarled clinching his fists and fire burned around them as he launched himself back at the evil lord. Frieza moved to block the punch when Ranma opened his hand and raked his fingers through the air. Freiza screamed as his arm seperated from his elbow and Ranma reversed the strike and Frieza paled in horror feeling invisible claws cleave him in half. Ranma spit on the twitching man as he colapsed to the ground and blasted off into the air, hoping he could reach his ship in time.

He looked back as he got to a desent hight and saw Frieza straining to stay in the air as he raised his hand at him, power glowing in his palm "you think... you think you've beat me?!" he screamed, rage making his voice shake. Ranma whipped around and bellowed firing a blast at the one flying at him and looked hatefully pleased as it enveloped the weaker one and blotted Friezas weakened power from his senses. He blasted off cursing the delay as he saw the ground breaking up and instead of trying for his ship, took off for Friezas hoping it still worked.

Everyone stood by looking grim as the wailing pair held onto each other, Ranko was healed thanks to a senzu and Kamis wish had restored Akanes child to her, they had been crying for a while now, King Kai and Guru had tried but could not find any trace of Ranma still alive. Goku and Piccolo stood to the side, the blood and ragged clothes sticking to them telling of the battle they had fought, Chichi was sniffling as she held onto Gohan who was crying softly himself.

Vegeta sat away from the rest glaring at the ground idlly crushing the rocks at his feet. Bulma was sitting depressed beside Krillin, her idea of just wishing him back, a bomb after finding out that he would appear in the ruins of Namek. Dende gently shook Gohan concerned for him "why not ask the dragon to bring him to earths check in station first?" he asked softly.

Everyone blinked at that "can... can that be done?" Bulma asked looking shocked and a little excited. Guru rumbled curiously at that as everyone looked at him "I think that would work. Although, I won't be there to see it. I'm afraid its my time to die." he said softly. All the Nameks around protested softly refusing to believe it and he nodded sadly "its my time children. I must now choose the one that will suceed me." he said looking up at them with sightless eyes.

Everyone blinked looking at the nameks as the chosen one glowed brightly as Guru touched his head and he gasped awed by the power flowing through him. Guru smiled softly slumping against the tree he was leaning on and sighed letting himself fade away. The Nameks started crying on each other at their loss. Akane sniffed looking at Goku "I felt something, before we appeared here I could feel Ranmas power exsplode. What happened?" she asked softly holding her daughter.

Goku nodded looking grim gripping his fists "he did this." he said tensing up and everyone moved away from him in shock as he erupted in golden light and Vegeta staggered to his feet looking at him wide eyed "do you know what you've done Kacarot?!" he gasped holding his hand out to feel the energy Goku was giving off "you've broken the veil that seperates all saiyjins from our ultimate powers!" he said looking at him intently "you say Saotome did too?" he asked.

Goku nodded looking emotionless "Frieza was trying to make me sloppy by enraging me. He said he enjoyed hurting us and... the thought of what he did to you and Ranko made me exsplode. Frieza attacked intending to blow up the world before I could come to afterwards and I got hit by the exsplosion. Ranma looked insane with fury when he hit Frieza. One hit and he screamed in agony. I've never felt that kind of power before. Even this,"

He spread his arms and snarled summoning the golden aura with some effort "it was nothing compared to Ranmas fury. Before we disappeared I saw Ranma nearly carve the planet in half with a blast, he just.. Threw out his hands and the blast flashed off, he didn't have to draw any energy at all." He released his hold on the energy and looked at them grimly. "You have to tell me how you did this kacarot." Vegeta said firmly.

Goku looked at him suspiciously and blinked when Ranko tugged on his pants "show us too!" she declaired firmly looking stern. Akane nodded sniffing "I want to know myself. And Vegeta did try to protect us." she said looking at him. He shrugged looking at the ground "I have no intention of harming your planet Kacarot. Saotome said he knew how to change these humans into saiyjins." he said firmly.

Goku looked at him for a minute "your not going to use it to go out and do evil things?" he demanded glaring. Vegeta snorted "I won't make such a promise, there is a very large score to settle now that Friezas out of the way, besides, just because saotome cut off the monsters head doesn't mean its dead. Friezas father or someone worse might step in and take over." Chichi snorted "you for one?" she shot at him glaring.

He snorted looking revolted "after what they did to our people?! Freiza forced us to be his enforcers, to go out and kill other races so he could get more powerful. When we balked he took me from my father and destroyed our homeworld! Can you even doubt why I have so much hate in me!?!? I was forced to watch it!! I couldn't begin to fight him and he loved making me do things I hated!! I wanted the dragon balls because if I was imortal then I could kill him for what he did."

He looked at them glaring "our childhood crafted our personality Kacarot! You had friends here and people that cared for you, I had Frieza tormenting me since I was thirteen! Forcing me to doom race after race because I was a saiyjin! Stronger then all but a handful of his people! Napa enjoyed what he did but I didn't! All I wanted was a way to get him back for killing our people. Or course I'm bitter! Of course I'm full of hate and anger! Or I was. That little girl over there ignored my anger and....."

He shook his head walking away from them rubbing at the back of his head. Everyone looked at the upset prince as he struggled with himself. Ranko pulled away from her mother and bounced over to Vegeta and tugged on his pants leg "I don't think your mean. You just miss your daddy." she stated firmly crossing her arms. He looked at her for a minute then sighed covering his face "what is it about you girl that makes me feel like this?!" he demanded glaring.

She grinned at him "I'm cute! Daddy said it was my most poweful attack!" she said impishly. Vegeta snorted at her and patted her head. He turned around and looked at Goku "how did you begin your training?" he asked firmly. Goku looked at him for a moment then nodded "the four of us trained hard the entire flight to Namek, we used Dr Briefs gravity machine to make ourselves stronger." he said crossing his arms.

He blinked thinking about that and nodded "thats why you were able to fight Frieza more effectively, his race comes from a world with gravity a hundred times stronger then this one." he said waving around them. They looked at him understanding "my gravity generator can top that. It can go as high as seven hundred times earth normal so far." Brief said speaking up.

Vegeta looked pleased. "We know, Ranma and Goku forced themselves to adjust to it after we hyper accelerated." Akane said standing up. Goku nodded looking thoughtful "Ranma was in it longer then I was." he said crossing his arms. Vegeta nodded "do you have another one of these gravity generators?" Dr Briefs nodded amiably and Vegeta grinned "I want you to train with me Clown, theres no way in hell a third class nobody and a fake are going to beat me!" he grumbled firmly. Goku nodded grinning "sure!"
