AN: Hello guys! I know it's been quite a while since I last updated, but as I said you don't have to worry! I will never drop my fics. I may take a while to update since I work three jobs, but I will update. I hate it when a fic is dropped and I swore never to do that to anyone. Too many great fics have been dropped for numerous reasons. Mostly because the writer got writer's block, and instead of waiting for an idea indefinitely, they got sick of waiting and said forget it. So here is your update, and the much awaited death of Frieza.

A week later, when King Vegeta walks into the training center, and is shocked at the sight of all his best trainers sitting there with their power flaring around them, yet doing nothing with it. They couldn't possibly be performing exercises to increase their endurance; they mastered the ability to hold their full power without tiring long ago.

Gohan, sensing the King's entrance, immediately walks over to him. "I think we may have a situation sire."

Vegeta looks at Gohan questioningly wondering what could have happened.

/Sire, it is possible that Frieza will be here within the week. I've sensed him and his father approaching at a phenomenal rate. I unleashed some of my power on the planet Velcomm and Frieza may have picked it up on his scanners. I fear that Frieza knows that a Super Saiyan has arisen once more./ Gohan sends.

The king nods his head thoughtfully before indicating that Gohan should come with him. Vegeta leads Gohan away from the free-lance area and into his personal chambers. "Gohan, what do you plan to do about Frieza?"

Gohan looks down and his shoulders slump. "I honestly don't know. I don't want to try and change the timeline, but at the same time I don't know if I can just stand there and watch as he rips us apart."

Vegeta smirks. "I doubt you could. Well, we'll just have to," Suddenly an explosion blows the room away. If it wasn't for Gohan's ki shield being erected split seconds earlier, the king would now be dead as Recoome leers down at the two Saiyans.

"So this is where the King was hiding. Well, won't Frieza be pleased to see your head on display when I'm done with you." The retarded but powerful Ginew member says. He flies toward Vegeta with his fist outstretched only to find his fist grabbed Bardock's hand.

Unknown to the masters, while they were still getting the hang of sensing ki, Gohan had telepathically sent the method of ki sensing to them. Of course, they weren't going to perfect it until they used it more often, but it saved them considerable time. This gave them time to train in the GR. Bardock and the others managed to get up to 60 G's before the arrival of the Ginew force.

"I don't really think you know what you're dealing with Recoome. Torna! Handle him." Torna rushes forward only to be stopped.

"Hahahahahahaha. Did you really think you could beat me? Guldo here just froze all of you in a time block. You're sitting ducks. Now, keep your eye on the birdie!" As Recoome goes to fire at the three Saiyans, he sees the bluish field of frozen time fade away and soon after a foot impacts with his stomach.

Vasha quickly joins her teammates. "I got rid of that short guy. Where's Gohan?"

Bardock shrugs while Torna heads off to handle Recoome. "I'm not sure. He said something about the timeline changing and him not being able to directly affect it. Something about stability."

Vasha nods before heading off to fight Baata and Jeice. "Think you boys can handle a little girl like me?" She says while licking her lips seductively. The two look at each other before rushing at her in unison.

Captain Ginew is watching the fights as he realizes that Bardock doesn't seem to be interested. Not liking Bardock's apparent disdain for the Ginew force, he heads down to challenge him. "What's wrong with you Saiyan? Afraid to fight my underlings?"

"Not really." Bardock says smirking. "I wanted to see just how pathetic they are compared to my team. So far all I see is a bunch of weaklings. Hopefully you aren't as pathetic as your men."

Ginew's face is twisted with rage. "You dare to challenge me! Prepare to die!"

"Ready to try that again weakling?" Torna asks Recoome.

"Recoome no weakling! I show you! Keep your eye on the birdie!"

Jeice and Baata try to fly at Vasha, but she simply dodges every attack thrown at her. Getting tired of dodging, she stops them in midair with a spinning kick and slams them both to the ground with her elbows.

She simply floats in the air while waiting for them to recover. They both stand and look at her, eyes narrowing in anger. Looking at each other, the nod to each other before flying at her with powerful beams in their hands.

Ginew launches himself towards Bardock and punches at his face only to have his fist go right through it. "What?" he says stopping and looking around.

"Looking for me?" Bardock asks, floating behind Ginew.

Ginew turns around only to receive a downward slash kick that sends him crashing to the ground.

As Recoome fires a tiny red blast packed with power, Torna simply smirks. He watches as the blast gets closer and closer. Recoome begins to laugh thinking that his opponent is a fool for standing there. Then, at the last second, Torna raises his hand. The ball of ki stops before it even touches his palm. As it hovers in front of Torna's palm, he mentally takes control of the energy and fires it back at Recoome.

Seeing his own attack come back at him, Recoome flies away while gathering energy to toss at Torna. Unfortunately, Recoome is so busy keeping ahead of his own blast, that he fails to see Torna fly in front of him and charge a gigantic energy wave. "Da-ku metsubou!1" A wave of dark purple energy engulfs Recoome and he is wiped from the face of the planet. "Hmph. Pathetic." Torna smirks at the trails of dark-purple energy that are slowly fading before flying off to watch Bardock fight Ginew.

"Jeice and Baata hurricane attack!" Giant balls of red and blue energy swirl down towards Vasha as Jeice and Baata perform their ultimate attack.

"Hmph." Vasha simply smirks and raises her hands, palms out. "Seishou Kaimetsu." She whispers. For a split second, nothing moves. Then suddenly a sheet of energy envelops Jeice, Baata, and their incoming attack. It wraps around them and slowly shrinks before winking out of existence.

Lowering herself in the air somewhat, Vasha looks around before speeding off towards Bardock.

As Ginew recovers from the slash kick, Bardock senses Frieza's approach. Damn, looks like I don't have time to play with you after all. Oh well, so long Ginew. And before Ginew even has the chance to try and perform a body change, Bardock blasts his out of existence with an energy wave. After the dust clears and there is no trace of Ginew's body, he turns his head to the sky. 'It looks like my true challenge is coming. I hope you're training was enough Gohan…'
