Chapter 18: The quick turn around

Frieza and Goku both stare at each other prepared for battle

'Ok Frieza let's get things started shall we' said Goku

'Yes let's fight' added Frieza

Frieza appeared in front of Goku and began fighting him, both fighters clashed but soon Frieza gain the upper hand against Goku getting lots of blows in against the Super Saiyan 3 Goku blocked one attack and jumped back several times and began looking for Frieza

'Can't find me?' Asked Frieza

Goku turned around to see Frieza behind him; Frieza punched Goku in the face sending him flying. Frieza flew after him and threw a punch but Goku disappeared and reappeared in the air but Frieza was already there and he kicked Goku in the stomach and hammer fisted him to the ground, Goku emerged from the ground bruised and full of blood

'Darn it he's a whole lot stronger than I ever expected' said Goku 'no holding back, Kaiouken times 20' shouted Goku

Goku went into his Kaiouken Super Saiyan 3 combo

'Now take this Frieza!' Shouted Goku

Goku flew in for the attack against Frieza and began throwing attacks, Frieza blocked them all and punched Goku in his face, kicked Goku in his stomach and hammer fisted him in the back

'Now for the icing on the cake' thought Frieza

Frieza fired a large energy blast into Goku's back sending him down to the ground. Goku stood up

'I can't believe his increase in power even with my Kaiouken I can't even hit him' said Goku

'Are you ready to continue this little battle?' Asked Frieza

'Yeah I'm ready' replied Goku

Goku launched up against Frieza

'Time for something new' thought Goku

Goku disappeared and surrounding Frieza were several copies

'What is this illusion' said Frieza 'I can see where you are'

Frieza fired a blast at one of the copies but it disappeared

'I can't believe it I was certain' said Frieza

Frieza fired a blast at another copy but it disappeared

'Looking for me?' Shouted Goku

Goku flew in and hammer fisted Frieza down

'KA...ME...HA...ME...HA!' Shouted Goku

Goku fired the Kamehameha wave at Frieza, which exploded on impact, Frieza emerged slightly more damaged than before

'Nice attempt monkey' said Frieza

'I know how did you like my after image technique?' Asked Goku

'Impressive' replied Frieza 'but just impressive'

Frieza flew towards Goku for the attack and threw a punch at him. Goku blocked it but the punch was so powerful it launched Goku away, Frieza followed and threw another punch but Goku avoided it and kicked Frieza in his face spun and threw an energy blast, which Frieza deflected, Goku flew in and threw a punch, which hit Frieza's stomach. Frieza soon shook away the pain and grabbed Goku by his arms, he knee struck his stomach twice then head butted him twice he then lifted him up above his head and threw him towards the ground, he finished by firing a small energy blast but Goku gained momentum and barely dodged it.

'That was close for comfort' said Goku

Frieza appeared in front of Goku and hit him twice, he tried to hit him a third time but Goku avoided it and attempted to punch Frieza but he avoided it and slapped Goku to the ground

'You are delaying the inevitable by continuing this fight Saiyan' said Frieza 'I suggest you actually give up and I'll make you death slightly less painful'

'Well I thank you for the offer but I can't just stop the fight without a good reason' added Goku 'Suit yourself, your monkey race was never really that bright anyhow' said Frieza 'just wanting to do nothing but fight'

At the lookout

'It seems Goku has almost lost the fight' said Piccolo 'his energy is dropping fast'

'He can't lose, my dad can't be beaten by Frieza' added Gohan

'Isn't there anything we can do?' Asked Dende

'I don't know, I'll try to think of a plan' replied Piccolo

Meanwhile at the battlefield

Goku and Frieza clashed, the energy emitted was enormous causing chaos in the surrounding area, Vegeta watched from a safe distance but struggled to keep balance. Soon after Frieza hit Goku in the face knocking him away, Goku spun and gained momentum and launched at Frieza. He threw a punch but Frieza flew up slightly and flew down hammer fisting Goku to the ground, Goku kept himself up and stood up

'Man I can't keep this up I need to drop out of Kaiouken' said Goku

Goku reverted to his normal Super Saiyan 3 form

'Looks like the monkey is almost out of bananas' said Frieza

'I need to find an opening but I can't let him know I'm looking for one, I need to keep fighting normally like Vegeta would when he's losing and then strike him when he least expects it' thought Goku

Frieza flew towards Goku and fired an energy blast. Goku jumped to avoid it and Frieza fired another one at Goku in the air. Goku attempted to control the blast but struggled

'You can't control that energy monkey' said Frieza

Goku deflected the blast back at Frieza who deflected it then Goku flew in and threw a series of kicks in Frieza's stomach and hammer fisted him to the ground. Frieza quickly gained momentum, flipped and fired another blast at an unsuspecting Goku, which exploded on impact, Goku fell in to the cliffs, and after he emerged he was in his normal form

'Oh great I've reverted to my normal form now what could happen' said Goku

Goku landed on the ground in front of Frieza

'It seems your Super Saiyan fire has left you, now you're all water' taunted Frieza

'Yeah well prepare to get flooded' added Goku

Goku prepared for battle soon after Frieza prepared himself for battle
