The mystic looking planet was troubled. It's very core was threatened. A strong wind began to blow and cloudcover cloaked the land in shadow . It was almost as if the planet knew that it's potential destruction was at hand. Three figures stood watching each other in silent scrutiny. All three vaguelly amused and deadly serious. The wind blew harder waving the hair of the saiyan pair in a ship like motion as dust swirled around their feet. The silence had lasted a full minute , tension and adrenalin pounding away at their very existance. Vegeta smiled and took a small step forward. ''Frieza. How nice it is to see you looking so healthy and strong. I wouldn't want it any other way ofcourse. I'd love you to be at full power when I tear you limb from limb.''
Frieza looked down and smiled. ''You may not beleive this Vegeta but I've been waiting years for this moment. Although I hate to admit it you are now a worthy adversary and it's not often that I get to use the full extent of my powers. I even transformed in advance into my final form when I heard you were coming. Aren't you honoured?'' He loked to Gohan. '' Ah, I see the boy has grown big and strong aswell.'' He watched Gohans scowl with ammusement then looked back to Vegeta. '' Well my saiyan friend, you came here for one reason and one reason alone so why don't we get this over with?''
Vegeta laughed mockingly. '' You are eager for you ashes to fly away with the wind aren't you? Well then, as you wish....Lord Frieza!'' He took a step backwards and began to focus. A swirling yellow vortex began to encircle and rotate around him causing the ground itself to tremble and quake. His energy caused powerful wind to esculate around him making both Gohan and Frieza struggle to remain standing. He called forth every ounce of his being, his power threatening to destroy his body. And then it was over, power surfaced, Vegeta a picture of glory and gold. His radian aura surrounding him, embracing him, spurring him onwards.
He watched Frieza's startled expression with emmense pleasure. ''Well Frieza? Do you finally understand that you life ends here on this very day?'' Frieza smiled, his previous uncertainty forgotten. In it's place only mocking arrogance and calm were displayed. '' Impressive, Vegeta. I didn't expect you to be this strong.''
Vegeta showed a hint of annoyance at Frieza's confidence. ''Enough!'' He flew at him with all his power and they clashed. They fought as equals, none yielding, none gaining. They fought with all the intesity worthy of their two great powers. Gohan Watched mildly concerned in the background. He knew Vegeta was giving it all he had and wouldn't hold back at all. Even using all his power he was only able to defend and attack equallt to Frieza. His concern gave way to uncertainty. Was Vegeta toying with him? It was possible. All the same he knew he would have to help soon. He watched on with nastalgia, the whole battle seeming dreamlike. His whole life he had trained for this moment. What would happen afterwards? Would afterwards ever arrive?
The fight raged on mercilessly, both doing their utmost to inflict damage. Vegeta had a good spell and temporarily took the advantage sending Frieza crashing into the ground shaking the entire planet. He slowly descended down to where Frieza lay landing next to him. He kicked him a few times before laughing. He created an energy ball in his and and held it facing Frieza's head. ''Well Frieza, it seems that I have won and you're time has finally come to an end.'' Frieza smiled evily grabbing Vegeta's outstretched hand casuing the energy to evaporate. Vegeta fell to his knees in pain crying out in agony. ''Not bad Vegeta, you had me going there for a second. Unfortunatelly for you, i'm not going anywhere.'' Vegeta looked at Frieza through his blur of pain, the terrible agony showing on his face. ''You've been toying with me? This whole time!'
Frieza laughed again landing a punch in Vegeta's face sending him flying out of the crater. Gohan who had been watching the whole scene transformed into a super saiyan and flew towards Vegeta landing next to him. '' Are you alright?'' Vegeta remained silent an appaled look on his face. Frieza flew out of the crater and landed in front of them smiling broadly. Vegeta stood up slowly watching Frieza questioningly. ''How? why are you this strong? Tell me!''
Frieza smiled sadistically enjoying every second and remaining silent drawing out the suspense. ''Do you think me stupid Vegeta? Do you really think I would let your power grow without furthering my own? Our last confrontation was quite surprising. When you escaped I knew you'd only get stronger. What else was their to do but train? As long and hard as you've been training has been doubled by myself. So you see you can never win. My powers once again far surpass you own and the power of the boy. Even both of you at the same time are now match for me.''
The side of Gohan's lip curled into a smile. ''Is that a challenge?''
''No my young friend, it's a certainty.'' Gohan growled and flew at Frieza in a rage. He took him completely by surprise hammering away as if he were possesed. Vegeta watched on with surprise and pride, revelling in each blow the boy landed. He's a saiyan alright. Half cast or not he's worthy of the title. He powered up and entered the battle. The two saiyans surrounded their foe and atacked from both side landing vigorous hits all over frieza's body and receiving few in return. Frieza began to falter, an uncertain look forming on his face. ''Damn you saiyans! I hate you!'' His power began to rise revelling in his rage. It ended in an explosion sending the saiyan pair scattering.
Vegeta caught himself and regained control. ''What in the world?'' He watched stunned as Frieza's power continued to clime to immeasurable heights. Gohan who had also regained himself now levitated next to him. '' This is crazy Vegeta! His power is...evil!'' Vegeta ignored him, his mind racing, trying to force an answer out somewhere in the depths of his mind. Frieza launched another attack. ''Heads up boy!''
He crashed into the two saiyans with a force that sent shockwaves throughout the entire planet locking them in vicious combat again. This time their was no equality, barely ever a blow on the saiyans side. Frieza owned the battle savagely pounding them into submission. Frieza landed a kick into Vegeta's side sending him cartwheeling away. Gohan watched angrily, tears of frustration coating his eyes. He swung a full punch at his foe, to no avail having it easily blocked and countered by a forward somersault exe kick landing square in the middle of his head sending him flaming earthwards. He hit the ground with a bang causing dust and debris to rise up around him. Vegeta looked down to see the boy clearly knocked unconscious and half lifeless. He looked up to see Frieza smirking mockingly at him, his gaze telling him that it was finished.
He knew then that it was true. Frieza would kill them both and it would be as if they had never existed. Frieza began his attack, charging with all his fury. Vegeta watched him come as timee seemed to slow down. It is finished. Therer is no reason to fight anymore. If only it could have been different. If only...... He closed his eyes and awaited death. At that moment a power radiated somewhere close. A strong power. One that even stopped Frieza in his tracks. Vegeta opened his eyes to see Frieza looking around astonished not more than 2 metres away from him. ''What...is this power?'' The two foes both looked to the sky to see a ship entering the planets atmosphere. It rocketed towards them landing not far from where they watched in surprise.....
Goku and Bulma
''Are we almost their yet?'' Goku was slumped over his chair looking painfully bored. Bulma who had heard the same sentence for the hundredth time since they left the station finally snapped. ''Goku! You are driving me insane! All you've done this whole time is whine and moan! If I hear one more word out of you i'm going to kill you!''
Goku frowned like a little child. ''But it's true...'' Goku watched in interest as Bulma's face turned a bright red colour. '' That's it! OUT! Get out now!''
''But Bulma, where am I supposed to go?''
''I don't care, just leave!'' Goku stood up and shrugged ''Ok, ok, i'm going, jeez.'' He began to walk towards the kitchen muttering sorrowfully to himself until great power entered his mind and filled his whole body. He stopped short holding a hand to his head and leaning against a wall for support. ''Who the....?'' He already knew and began running back to the control room.
''Bulma!'' She stood up fury lacing her face. ''Goku! Didn't I tell you to leave, you....'' She kept quiet when she saw the look on his face. ''Goku? What's wrong?''
Goku shook his head in order to steady himself. ''It's them. I sense them. Two saiyans and one other great power. Ones definitly Gohan. He's gotten so powerfu!.''
''What's going on? We're very close to the planet aswell.'' Goku looked as if he were concentrating hard trying to follow the battle. ''It's bad! The other guy must be Frieza. He's so, so strong.! Gohan and that other saiyan are doing well! They're really giving it to him....ahhh, wait!'' Goku's face was contorted in disbelief.''
''Whats wrong Goku?''
''It's Frieza...he's getting stronger. No! Too strong! This is bad! He's attacking again. He's winning! No! Gohan!''
Bulma looked startled. ''What's wrong Goku?''
''I...I can barely sense Gohans energy anymore! I've got to get their now!''
''Take it easy Goku, the planets right in front of us. We'll be their soon.'' Goku began to pace worriedly. ''The other saiyan is still fighting. He doesn't stand a chance!''
The ship entered the beautiful planets atmosphere, flames curling around it, embracing it in a ring of fire. It cut through the atmosphere and soared towards the land.
''Where Goku?''
''Right ahead, I can see them. '' Bulma pilloted the ship towards the two standing figures and landed the ship with skill. '' Open the door.'' Bulma did as she was told and watched Goku make his descent onto the alien earth......
Well, long time no chapter but it's finally here. I'll try my best to keep them coming before college starts....enjoy
