AN- Here we are, with another exciting chapter of Alliance. Aren't I a little full of myself? Don't mind me, I'm in a bit of a mood. No sleep for extended periods of time can do that to you. But anyhow.
I was asked about Vegeta's decision to knock out Goku. For one, keep in mind he was sensing Frieza's power level as he went INTO his third form. So in comparison, his power was higher. He didn't know about Frieza's final form at the time, so he felt he wouldn't need help. Hence his decision. Also, don't worry, Goku's power didn't rise from that simple hit. His power will be close to or on par with Vegeta's.
Someone wanted to know about the translation for the special beam cannon. The most literal wording would come to "Demon Light Screw Attack". But I'm trying to keep things nice and readable, so "Demon Ray" won the award for that one.
Frieza's power levels…. Hmm. This is where the "official" numbering system comes to an end. As such, there are lots of disputes on the actual powers of Frieza's final form, and of the Super Sayian Goku. Some say 12,000,000 for Frieza (including the newer (and crap) DragonballZ Sagas game), while others go with a smaller number. For the sake of keeping things as relatively simply as possible, we are going with the smaller numbers. Keep in mind, I'm going to include numbers for the Cell and Buu sagas, and I don't want the numbers getting TOO far out of hand. So Frieza's final form will start at 3,000,000, and he will have the ability to power up to 4,500,000. Hope no one gets upset (or confused).
Also, someone asked about Krillin and his lack of using the Tayioken. Well, I had been saving it for a special occasion. Krillin's got so many tricks up his sleeve, I was trying to spread them out. And as for Yamcha, Tien, and Chaozu, don't worry. They won't be written out any time in this storyline.
Last thing, stuff about the hit counters. Someone asked me where to find them. Go to the stats page, and one of the story stats will be "hits". You can also click on a specific hit number to get a chapter by chapter listing. People also asked about my calculations. When I said 200 hits, I meant 200 hits specifically for the new chapter. Overall, since the installment of hit counters for everyone about 3 weeks ago, I have had approximately 3,280 hits for just this story. I was just speaking about the new chapter, and so I had already accounted for the hits that would come from going to chapter 1 first.
Anyhow…We're coming towards the close of the Frieza saga. Isn't that awesome? I believe I have blown my own horn enough, however. Now to the part you've all been waiting for.
Frieza's shrill laugh cut through all of Krillin's thoughts. He tried to pull his gaze away, but all he could do was stare in horrified amazement at the carnage playing out before him. Frieza continuously pummeled the limp form of Raditz, who had shrunken back from his Oozaru body.
Blood and fragments of Raditz's armor discharged into the air, but still Frieza was relentless. His eyes had an unhinged look in them that wasn't there before. These monkeys keep pushing their limits!… I destroy them, and they come back! Every time I think the race is done, another one crawls out from the woodwork! THEY MUST BE DESTROYED! Raditz's prone form became the outward manifestation of Frieza's fears, and he continued to lash out in frenzy.
Enough was enough. Krillin mentally willed himself to rise, gathering what little ki he could scrape together. He might get himself killed, but anything was better than watching this much longer. It wasn't even possible to tell if the poor Sayian was alive or dead. Favoring the leg he had injured earlier, he sprung up into the air and tensed himself.
"Hey Frieza!"
The tyrant paused mid-punch, pulling himself out of whatever delusions had been occupying his mind. He spun around, pinpointing the location of the distraction.
"Tayioken!"
An ungodly amount of light bathed over Frieza's eyes, completely cutting off his sense of sight. He stumbled backwards slightly, clawing at his eyes as he tired to regain their focus. Through squinted vision, he still managed to approximate a blurry form floating in the sky. He burst off toward his new target with renewed fury.
I hope that was enough to stall him… But what am I stalling him for?…He's still gonna kill us… Goku… where are you! Krillin's last reserve of ki finally gave out, and his eyes grew heavy. He didn't even have the strength left to fly. Frieza's fist flew over his head as he lost altitude. The small monk's body crashed into the ground, knocking all of the air out of his lungs. He stared up with wide eyes as Frieza threw his hands over his head, charging ki.
"You have been more than enough of a menace! Time for you to die!"
Frieza's ki lit up the air as he prepared to launch the ball of energy at the earthling. Suddenly the attack sizzled out and his eyes bulged out. Vegeta's foot left an imprint in Frieza's back, sending the tyrant through the air. Before he could recover, Vegeta dashed in front of him, sending a punch into his chest and sending him back in the opposite direction.
Frieza managed to right himself, but in the blink of an eye, Vegeta appeared in front of him, grabbing one of his horns and twisting, a demonic sneer on his face. There was a snapping sound, and Vegeta threw the broken horn to the side. A look of agony spread across Frieza's face as he slowly lowered to the ground. He couldn't feel anything accept the throbbing pain in his head. Vegeta laughed as he landed in front of him, the tyrant on his knees.
"Well, isn't this a pleasant change, Frieza?" Vegeta relished the thought of Frieza bending to his will. For over two decades Frieza had used him as his personal source of amusement. Vegeta dreamed of being able to finally reverse roles, and now was his chance. He had Frieza right where he wanted him.
"You look different, Frieza. I didn't know you had the ability to transform." Vegeta continued, kicking Frieza in his broken horn. "Well, it looks like all it did was make you uglier. You are no mach for a Super Sayian!"
Frieza rolled across the floor, clutching at his broken horn. There was a sudden movement, and Frieza threw up his hand, pointing a finger and letting off a shockwave blast like the one that did in Raditz. The attack smashed into Vegeta's head, which snapped back from the force. Frieza grinned. No matter how strong you get, Vegeta, you are still far too arrogant…
Frieza's face froze in shock. Vegeta's laugh echoed across the empty landscape. "You truly believe that attack would do anything to me?" Vegeta began to charge energy into both of his hands, each extended to either side. "Let's see how you like this! Final…" His hands thrust together, and the energy began to pulsate erratically. "Flash!"
The Final Flash erupted, the blast washing over the changeling, completely erasing him from view. Vegeta flexed his hands in amazement at his new powers.
"Ha! It's over! I've finally become a Super Sayian!" Vegeta stopped short as the smoke began to clear. Frieza was at death's door, bleeding and bruised, but there was a huge smile on his face. He began to chuckle lightly.
"Do you think you've won, Vegeta? You have become powerful, that much is true. But if you think you can defeat the almighty Frieza with that much power, you've become delusional!"
Vegeta clenched his fist and growled. "Nonsense! I have become the thing you fear most, Frieza! I'm no longer just a mere Sayian! I'm the almighty Super Sayian!"
"Super Sayian? You, Vegeta? I somehow doubt that!" Frieza got to his feet. "Your power is great, but it is not enough!"
Vegeta's eyes went wide as he felt a strange spark go off with Frieza's ki.
"You believe I would fear any Sayian? My good Vegeta… allow me to show you true fear!"
Goku sat up, the back of his head throbbing. "What happened?" he mused to no one in particular. He felt his power bubbling up over him, and he wasn't even summoning it. He stared at his hands, amazed at his own ability. It felt like his ki was too much for his body handle.
The earthborn Sayian slowly got to his feet, shaking off his dizziness. "What happened to Vegeta? …I need to go find them." He closed his eyes, trying to pick up any signs of life. His eyes shot open in surprise. There were some seriously powerful energies fighting it out a distance away. One of them felt distinctly evil. That must be Frieza… Goku blew a hole in the wall with a light blast of energy and shot off into the sky.
"Holy…. Did you two feel that?" Yajirobe's voice was shaky as he stared down at the ground below him. A Sayian was standing in front of a strange monster, a monster that was glowing and putting out an insane amount of energy. Yajirobe hadn't felt anything like this since the first time he had learned to sense ki.
(Nifty Flashback scene)
Yajirobe's eyes shot open, and his breath became caught in his lungs. He jumped up with a look of panic on his face, and his face had gone white. Korin turned to him, tilting his head to the side and clearing his throat.
"What's the matter, Yajirobe? You choke on an apple or something?"
Yajirobe shook his head, managing to get his breath back. He slowed down his breathing and regained his composure slightly, but still kept glancing around wildly. He turned to Korin and frowned. "Not funny, cat. I didn't choke. Something…. Something happened…"
Korin yawned and turned away. "Yea? And what would that be?"
Yajirobe became uncharacteristically quiet. "I… I dunno… a feeling… or something…" The samurai couldn't explain it, exactly. It was like he had been blind all of his life, and now suddenly he found he could see. There wasn't any way to truly relay the experience into words.
"I…. I could feel… everything…. I think. I felt every person as they walked around. I could tell how they felt… I could tell how strong they were…. It was unbelievable…"
Korin turned around, stroking his chin. So this guy isn't as lazy as I had him marked for… Out loud, he said, "Do you still feel it?"
"Kind of, but…not to the same extent. It only happens when I think about it now."
"Indeed. What you're feeling is ki. The energy living beings give off. It's… sort of overwhelming at first…"
Yajirobe looked at the ground; sweat still coming off of his forehead. "You're telling me…"
(End nifty flashback)
Yajirobe shook his head. That first time he had sensed ki, he had felt every power, big or small, on the earth all at once. Now it felt like that, only stronger, when he felt the monster on the ground. The effect sent chills down his spine. He tried to clear his head and survey the rest of the battlefield. To one side, he could see a bloody form lying on the floor. It looked like the Sayian they had saved earlier, and it was impossible to tell if he was alive or dead. To the other side, Krillin had managed to get to his feet. He looked pretty hurt, but other than that he was okay.
Yajirobe went to call out to his old acquaintance, and stopped suddenly. Chaozu let out a sharp gasp as the glow around the monster expanded, blinding everyone in the area. Yajirobe rubbed his eyes until sight came back to him, and then feverishly wished he hadn't. Where the large monster had been, there was now a smaller, sleeker looking creature. It appeared weaker, but Yajirobe knew appearances could be deceiving. The power emanating off of the creature was larger than anything he had ever felt before. Boy, I sure feel bad for that Krillin guy…
Krillin's jaw was hanging open as he got a view of Frieza's new form. He went from being a gargantuan, to being just as small as he was. But his power… his power was unheard of. Even after all the crazy events the past day had held, this was still unbelievable. Frieza's power had been like nothing before, but now he had doubled it. Krillin did some quick mental calculations and gasped. If Frieza's boasts were true, that means he has a power level of at least three million!
Vegeta's knees began to feel weak as he stared at the creature before him. I am a Super Sayian!… and even I am nothing compared to this… monster! He clenched his fist, gathering what was left of his resolve. No! I am the Sayian of legend! I have no choice but to destroy him! "Frieza! Die!" Vegeta yelled as he dashed at the destroyer of worlds.
AN- I know, the chapter was a little short, but I wanted to break up the action a bit. If Frieza going into his final form wasn't a good enough reason to break the chapter, I don't know what would be. I hope this speedy update makes up for the abysmal wait you all had to endure for the last chapter. Don't have much to say, really, so I'll just put up the new power chart and call it a day. I'll have a new chap up for you guys soon, promise! Make sure to review! And also, one or two people have requested to chat with me personally. Let me just say, I love talking shop with people. I am on AOL exclusively, and my email/instant messaging address is Klydehiro7 (Obviously at AOL) . As I said, I love conversing, so please feel free to drop me a line whenever you want to. I already have several people I talk to online that I have met through one story or another. And for all the people who reviewed last chapter, there were lots of new faces. Thanks, guys!
