The wind blew in the wake of the beautiful planets surroundings. A large ship stood lonely but determined not far from two figures watching with surprise and interest. The door opend and a man began to descend. A powerful, angry looking man. He walked until he touched ground and began to survey his surroundings. He looked towards the two figures of Vegeta and Frieza and began to approach them. Anger on his face he stopped in front of the two. Frieza overcame his surprise and curiosity took it's place. ''And who may I ask are you? You're a saiyan aren't you? Interesting...'' Goku studied him carefully but soon lost interest. He ignored him and walked past towards Vegeta. ''How dare you saiyan! '' Goku continued to ignore him and walked towards Vegeta. The two saiyans studied each other carefully. Goku scowled furiously. ''Where's my son?''
Vegeta looked at him blankly for a second before realisation dawned. ''You are Radditz's brother? Kakarott?''
''The names Goku, now I'll ask you again. Where is Gohan!'' Vegeta smiled lightly. ''Listen Kakorott. This isn't the time for this. If you haven't noticed their is an extremely powerful enemy standing right behind you. We can settle our differences later.'' Goku turned his head to look at the ammused face of Frieza. 'That's right, Kakorott is it? You've chose a very bad time to be a fool.'' Goku smiled arrogantly before transforming in a wave of gold his power soaring. Vegeta watched intrigued. It seems as if Kakorott is stronger than me. It's a good thing for now but it won't be enough. Goku continued to smile feeling confident. ''So you're Frieza huh? You don't look like much. Stay out of this, it doesn't concern you.''
Frieza laughed mockingly. ''Oh but it does saiyan. It's all about me. You have no idea.'' Goku shrugged and began walking forward. ''Wait Kakorott!'' A restraining hand grabbed Goku's shoulder. ''Listen to me! We have to work together or else we'll both be destroyed.'' Goku brushed his hand aside annoyed. ''I'll deal with you later, now stay out of my way.'' He powered up, a ki flame burning around him. He attacked Frieza with all his power letting loose everything he had. The fight raged on intensely both warriors attacking with vigour and ferocity. They took to the sky sending visible shockwaves after each mighty blow, both fighters feeling the full extent of the others power. Vegeta watched with nervous anticipation. He knew he would have to join in sooner or later. Kakorott is impressively strong. Maybe the two of us together can win?
His thoughts were interupted by the pounded body of Goku crashing into the floor by his feet. Goku stood up shakily. ''You see Kakorott? You can't do it alone. You're going to have to let me help!'' Goku growled. ''Shut up! I don't need anything from you ..'' Goku powered back up and continued his assault. Vegeta shook his head in annoyance. It was not long before Goku ended u on his face on the floor by Vegeta's feet again. ''C'mon Kakorott...What do you say?'' Goku let his good judgement take over. ''Fine then. It might be the only way. But afterwards you answer to me! Understand?'' Vegeta nodded smiling. The two saiyans powered up and began their similtaneous assault on Frieza. The saiyans combined effort made a huge difference. The battle raged on intensely all three on par with each other. Frieza found himself equally matched. If I don't do something soon they are going to overwhelm me. I must issolate them. Frieza dodged the duo's punches, teleporting behind Vegeta. Catching him off gaurd he lay a full bodied unprotected punch on the back of Vegeta's head sending him soaring back down to earth.
The ground showeed him no mercy as he hit it with a sickening crash. When the dust settled Vegeta lay unconcious on the ground in his original form. Frieza began to laugh. ''looks like it's just you and me now'' Goku looked at him frustrated and almost entirely worn out. ''Where's my son!''
''Your son? You mean Vegeta's son. Do you actually think he'll remember you fool?''
''Where is he!'' Frieza folded his arms looking mockingly at Goku. ''He's right over there.'' He pointed downwards to where the boy lay unconcious. ''Gohan!'' Goku began to fly towards him only to be intercepted by Frieza. ''Our little battle isn't done yet friend.'' Goku's anger rose to the surface. He attacked Frieza again and again the battle raged. Goku was blinded by rage and fought carelessly. Slowly Frieza began to hammer blows into him Goku being barely unable to return them. The fight fell largely into Frieza's favour, Goku's energy beginning to deminish.
Frieza gave him two hard blows sending him reeling backwards. He charged an energy blast before shooting it powerfully at Goku striking him full in the chest. He fell down towards the earth striking the ground with a crack not more than 3 meteres away from Gohan. His power was almost all used up. He struggled to his knees and began crawling towards Gohan. He had to make sure that he was still alive. ''Gohan...'' Frieza landed next to him and delivered a light kick into his ribs sending him flying onto his back. ''Poor stupid saiyan. Reunited before death. Well guess what? I've got a special treat for you. You get to die last after witnissing your sons death. Aren't I kind?'' Goku gritted his teeth hardly able to move. ''Gohan.'' Frieza began kicking the unconcious body of his son mercilessly. ''Having fun saiyan? I am.''
''Leave him alone!'' Goku managed to get up on his knees. '' Ofcourse I will....once i'm done killing him.'' Laughing he began charging an energy blast. A pink ki ball emerged in the palm of his hand dancing merrily and glowing bright. ''Say goodbye to junior''
Time slowed down in Goku's mind. He felt emotions that he couldn't comprehend. Everything he had ever felt since Radditz had taken Gohan away began to surface. All his anger boiled to the surface giving him new strength. He stood up slowly his power esculating, rapidly returning. Frieza let the ki blast dissolve watching Goku in tremendous surprise. Goku transformed into a super saiyan his power crashing around him. His transformation finished he continued to power up. Frieza took a step backwards in horror. ''It's not true...!'' A swirling vortex of a ki flame exploded around Goku lighting the area in brilliant gold. His transformation continued. His muscles doubled in size and his hair grew longer and stood out painfully jagged and sharp looking. Still Goku powered up his energy seemingly choking Frieza to death. And then it was over. Goku stood like a god in all his glory watching Frieza with an outraged eye. ''You tried to kill my son....'' Frieza looked at him stunned and was surprised to notice that he was shaking uncontrollably.'' That power is impossible. What are you?''
Goku smiled confidently. ''I'm your demise..'' Goku slowly walked towards his son feeling for a pulse. He was immensely releived to find he still had one. Frieza had not moved and was unable to accept the fact that Goku was the strongest being in the universe and not him. Vegeta had woken up because of the velocity of Goku's power. He slowly got to his feet and began to watch the two enemies. '' His power...it's enormous.''
Frieza had snapped out of his confusion. It can't be. That kind of strength is not possible. It must be some kind of a trick.He convinced himself that he was still stronger. ''Your tricks won't work saiyan'' He began to laugh like a maniac before launching an attack at Goku.he swung a punch which collided with air as Goku disappeared. He looked around stunned. ''What the hell?'' Goku stood behind him laughing softly. Frieza spun around and continued his assault. Goku dodged his attacks without even trying. He caught Frieza's hand breaking it with a twist of his wrist. Frieza cried out in agony bavking away and holding his injured wrist protectively. ''It's over Frieza.''
Frieza shook his head in denile. He let out an angry cry an attacked again. It's time to end this. '' Goku landed a square punch in Frieza's face sending him Bulldozing into the ground leaving a trail of upturned earth. Goku waled slowly towards him fighting away the remorse. This guy tried to kill my son. He has to be destroyed. He charged a ki ball as he walked. He stopped half way as he felt a large ammount of energy being compacted. He turned around to see Vegeta above him aiming a huge energy blast downwards. '' Gallit GUN!!!!'' Vegeta released an enormous energy blast which came rocketing downwards. Goku teleported next to Gohan, picked him up and teleported out of the way of the blast.
It struck Frieza with everything disintergrating half of his body killing him instantly. Vegeta laughed and touched down onto the ground almost out of power. He looked at Goku's irritated expression with a smile. ''It was my right to kill him. You wouldn't understand'' Goku put down his still unconscious son. '' And it's my right to kill you...i'm sure you understand that. Where's Radditz? I have unfinished buisiness with him aswell.''
Vegeta laughed at what Goku didn't know. '' It'll have to stay unfinished then.'' Goku looked at him questioningly. ''He's dead.''
Goku nodded. ''Guess you're going to have to join him and give him my regards.'' Vegeta growled and powered up. ''Do your wost!'' He attacked first throwing blows that were easily being dodged.
Gohan slowly began to regain consciousness. He lifted his head and looked around drunkly. He saw Vegeta and someone else fighting. Vegeta was definitly loosing and showed no sign of gaining the upper hand. His strength was fast returning. The stranger had beaten Vegeta onto his knees and didn't stop his rain of blows. He's killing him! I have to help. He stood up and powered up and transformed into a super saiyan. Goku sensed his sons power and turned around to face him. Vegeta fell to the floor half unconscious.
Gohan shouted out in rage. '' I'll kill you for this.'' The hurt showed in Goku's eyes. ''Gohan...I'' He didn't know what to say to his son who was as good as a stranger to him.
Gohan looked at him uncertainly. Why do I feel like i've seen him before. He looks so...familiar. It troubled him. He shook his head in order to evade his uncertainty. It doesn't matter. He tried to kill Vegeta! He powered up and attacked. Goku was taken completely by surprise and was totally unprepared for an attack by his son. Gohan crashed into him landing blows on the hesitant Goku. '' Wait! Please. Just listen to me'' Gohan ignored him and continued his attack. Goku who had regained some composure began blocking and dodging his sons fierce attacks. I have to fight back to get him to stop.
Goku blocked a right cross with his left hand spinning around and bringing his elbow crashing down heavily into Gohans face flooring him. He was semi knocked out and turned back into his original form. Goku used that moment to his advantage. He didn't know what to do. Talking wouldn't help so he did the first thing that came to his mind. Stooping downwards he took his son into his arms and hugged him.Gohan was taken by surprise. He didn't struggle. It was somehow soothing and familiar. He felt an emotion that he thought he had lost. He felt peaceful and safe and old memories began flooding into his head. Memories of someone who was his rock, his solitude, his comfort. Goku stopped hugging him and held him out at arms length, teas filling his eyes.
Gohan looked at him with tears of his own beginning to surface. ''Daddy?? Is that really you?'' Goku smiled and nodded. He couldn't trust himself to speak. They both stood up and studied each other carefully. ''You've grown huge. It's been so long. Gohan smiled wiping the tears away. '' You look exactly like I remember you. He looked worried as if he were trying to come to a decision in his head. Goku noticed and understood. They both looked to Vegeta who was watching them calmly. Gohan walked slowly to him and kneeled down his expression full of questions. Vegeta looked away. '' I didn't think a day like this would ever come. ''
Gohan shook his head. ''How could you have done this to me? Vegeta shook his head. I don't know how to answer that. All's I can say is you're as good as a son to me.''
Gohan held his head in his hands torn between two people his emotions threatening to suffocate him. '' So what do we do now.''
Vegeta sighed sadly. ''I don't know boy...I don't know.'' He looked at Gohan feeling intense love for the boy. You saved me so many times. I can't loose you. ''I understand if you can't forgive me but just know are a son to me.'' Gohan struggle finally stopped. '' I've had an amaseing life Vegeta. I can truly saw i've lived. We've done what was needed. Frieza's dead. You once asked me what would happen after his death. I know now. I wan't to live the rest of my life in peace on earth where I belong.'' Vegeta nodded in understanding looking away sadly. '' and i'd like it very much if you'd come aswell.'' He looked up in surprise. ''You want me to come?'' Gohan nodded. ''I'd really like that.'' The both looked to Goku who had said nothing. His purpouse was also forefilled. He'd done what he set out to do. He felt no more hate for Vegeta as they fought together against the same foe. It was somewhat of a fellowship.
Goku half smiled worn out physically and emotionally. ''Well I guess saiyans should stick together right?'' Gohan looked extremely releived. ''And besides, earth could use another protector.'' He looked to Vegeta '' You're welcome to live with us on earth.'' Vegeta nodded. ''I...Thank you. Gohan helped him to his feet and the three saiyans slowly trudged towards the ship. They walked silently pushed to the very limits of their being. The ships ramp dropped and three three climbed warily. Bulma was waiting for them on entry. She caught Vegeta's eye and he hers. They stood staring at each other intensely neither saying anything. Goku noticed the obvious exchange raising an eyebrow. ''Uh Bulma, this is Vegeta, Vegeta , Bulma.''
Vegeta snapped out of his dazed state blushing slightly. ''I..uh...it's nice to meet you.......
The ship took off leaving the battlefield behind. It left the atmosphere and glided off into the depths of space where home awaited.
