"Dragonball AS: SCU Saga"

Chapter 65- "Mystery Unraveled"

By- Tiny

Reiza flew into the ground after the freshly transformed Goshin drove a fist into the right side of her face, rattling the woman's brains a bit. Blood ran out from Reiza's lip from the force behind the Saiya-jin man's blows and, to make things worse for her, he didn't look like he was going to be stopping any time soon.

"Playing hard to get down there woman?" Goshin chuckled, floating down to the ground, "Don't worry yourself, you aren't my type."

"Damn arrogant Saiya-jin!" Reiza growled, jumping to her feet, "I would never demean myself by submitting to a monkey like you!"

Reiza never even saw Goshin move before he was on her, driving numerous, rapid kicks right into the head, knocking the woman around like some kind of a rag doll. The purple-haired woman couldn't even defend herself from the Saiya-jin's merciless onslaught and shook violently with each hammering blow. Drawing back one last time, putting a big portion of his power into the blow, Goshin threw a devastating kick right into the woman's middle, shattering her ribs.

The purple-haired woman lurched over with sheer agony as a fairly large quantity of blood came rocketing out of her mouth, splattering all over the ground below as Reiza shook around. Goshin could feel his opponent's formerly large energy reserve dropping rapidly, bringing a small sense of satisfaction to the Saiya-jin's face despite the fact that his own reserves were falling.

Reiza stood up shakily, going into a sloppy defensive stance as Goshin came at her again, a blue energy ball charging in his left hand. The Saiya-jin was about three feet away when he threw the blast down, making contact right in front of Reiza and throwing up a cloud of dust that, even with her enhanced vision, Reiza couldn't see through. She scrambled frantically, searching for the Saiya-jin energy signature only to come up with nothing, angering the woman to no ends.

"No, this will not happen to me again!" Reiza snarled, her aura flaring, "I did not come this far just to be beaten by another of you monkeys!"

A blazing white aura surrounded the young woman's body as her screams echoed throughout the area, throwing the dust that had her surrounded away from her and revealing her Saiya-jin opponent. Goshin smirked slightly, rising to his feet, and let out a light chuckle that grew into laughter as he watched the woman glare at him with nothing but contempt in her eyes.

"Interesting that you should hate me," Goshin chuckled, "After all, wasn't it you who kidnapped the girls, putting them in unnecessary danger, and then thought that you could take a Saiya-jin!?!"

"There was a time when you miserable monkeys were nothing but ants to me!" Reiza snarled, "I did exactly what I pleased when I pleased. There wasn't a force in the universe who could stand up to me! And then that bastard monkey transformed, bringing it all to an end...."

"What are you talking about?" Goshin smirked, "None of us have ever even heard of you before, so...."

"Maybe you haven't heard of me, but I'm almost certain that you've heard the stories of a Kurudo-jin named Frieza..."

"What!?!" Goshin gulped, "What does that bastard have to do with you?"

"You monkeys really are dense," Reiza chuckled, "I AM Frieza!"

Up at the Lookout, everyone had been monitoring the battle between the now transformed Goshin and Reiza, each hoping for the best as their fight raged on in a way they had only dreamed of. It had been Boxer who had heard it first, and he burst out laughing and fell to the ground, clutching at his sides as tears streamed down his face.

"What's so funny Boxer?" Apio grumbled, "Goshin might be winning, but I don't think this is a laughing matter."

"No, no, it's not that!" Boxer cried, "I always knew that Frieza was a woman! Grandpa always said so...."

"Frieza!" Berge growled, jumping to his feet, "The bastard that killed our people off! What does he have to with this?"

"Reiza is Frieza, that's what."

"WHAT!?!" a chorus of voices erupted, knocking the Saiya-jin boy back several feet from the noise.

"I mean that Reiza is the oh so heralded lizard king him...uh, herself," Boxer explained, getting to his feet, "Sort of like mine and Aimee's father used to be Kid Buu but was resurrected into a human form, so was Frieza."

"But why is h....she attacking us?" Medon asked, "Frieza was killed long before any of us were even a twinkle in anyone's eye. Why would the jackass come after us?"

"Because she's too weak to handle the others, that's why," a voice spoke up, "Reiza knows the older fighters would tear her to pieces in a few seconds, but we aren't so lucky."

Everyone on the Lookout whipped around suddenly to face who had spoken up, seeing a now uncollared Kimuchi walking towards them. He was dressed in his casual clothes again, his long white hair tied back out of his face so that everyone could get a clear view of his smile. Why he was smiling was a mystery to everyone present, but nobody said anything in reference to it.

"Good to see you got back in one piece," Taya giggled, "Goken had odds that you were going to get chopped up into little pieces and served at the Grand Kai's palace as a meal for the fighters."

"Unfortunately, they don't do that to people," Kimuchi chuckled, "What's been going on while I was away?"

"Well, Bikini was getting it handed to her by this Reiza person, who turned out to be Frieza reincarnated, and Goshin got really pissed and transformed," Lin sputtered out real fast, "Did you know anything about this?"

"Of course I did," Kimuchi smiled, "I am the guardian, after all. Frieza was our races greatest enemy for over half a century and now he has returned in the form of this human woman."

"Is there anything we can do to stop her?" Aimee asked, "I mean, we can't exactly sit around here doing nothing."

Kimuchi brushed past the crowd of his friends and relatives, walking to the edge of the Lookout and gazing down upon the Earth with the watchful gaze that guardian's were so famous for. The Saiya-jin's gray, tired-looking eyes watched the events unfolding on the Earth with great concern, but he still managed to produce a small, warm smile and flash it to his comrades.

"This is a quest for revenge, both for Reiza and Goshin," Kimuchi sighed, "Neither is going to give the other any ground and they are going to expect none to be given. This is their fight, not ours."

"But what if Goshin still loses?" Goken growled, "What happens if he just can't do it by himself?"

"Then may the Kai's have mercy on our souls..."

Goshin drove a knee right into the purple-haired reincarnate's ribcage, causing her to spit up fresh blood all over her clothes, and followed up the initial blow with a fist in the face. Pain soared through the woman's body as she soared across their battlefield, slamming into the cave where she had operated from and causing the whole enclosure to come down over her.

The Saiya-jin male smirked as he threw a blue ki sphere into the pile of rubble, causing the whole area to be engulfed in a brilliant flash of light that would've blinded any normal person. Reiza burst out of the rocks as soon as the explosion went off, her shimmering white aura glaring out all around her as she gazed down at the Saiya-jin male before her. He was smirking like a madman, his eyes focused entirely on the bloody woman hovering overhead, his mate standing next to him protectively.

"You monkeys are dead!" Reiza roared, her aura rising slightly, "DO YOU HEAR ME!?! DEAD!!!!"

"You wouldn't be the first to make such a threat and I'm certain you won't be the last either," Goshin smirked, "But you won't be around to see that day arrive."

"Confident to the end, aren't we monkey-boy?" Reiza chuckled, landing a few yards from her opponent, "Although I'd say things are tipped in my favor now, since you've lost the bulk of your power!"

"What are you talking about?" Goshin growled, "I can sense powers, and mine is still way above yours wench."

"Perhaps, but your precious third level is no more," Reiza laughed, "Or hadn't your 'superior skills' not noticed?"

Goshin looked down at himself for a second, Reiza's laughter still echoing throughout the canyon, and noticed exactly what the she-devil had meant. A considerable portion of his muscle's bulk had disappeared, the golden aura around his body not as large as it had been during most of the fight. Reaching up to his head, the Saiya-jin noticed that his hair was now much shorter, his forehead not as broad as it was at the third level. It all hit home, however, when he reached up to his face and felt two smooth, hairy spots right over his eyes.

Goshin had reverted back to the second level, and Reiza was enjoying every minute of it.

"Well, I guess it's time to finish this little scrap," Reiza smirked, "It's going to be a pleasure to send you into the next dimension, your little 'mate' following just behind you!"

"We'll see about that, bitch," Goshin snarled, moving Bikini behind him, "My family has a track record of defying the odds. This isn't going to be any different!"

"I beg to differ, my simian friend," Reiza chuckled, her aura flaring out as she prepared to charge, "THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT!!!!"

NEXT TIME: Reiza, the mystery woman who has harassed the young Z fighters, has finally been revealed as the resurrection of the Kurudo-jin Frieza! To make matters worse, Goshin no longer has his Super Saiya-jin three powers at his disposal, giving Reiza a slight advantage. Will Goshin defy the odds as his grandfather, great-grandfather, and others have done in the past or has his time come? Find out in the next installment of Dragonball AS!!!!!
