AN- Well, here we are. After all this work and time, we come to the end of the Frieza saga. The evil changeling bastard versus the almighty Super Sayian. Sounds exciting, huh? Another batch of new faces reviewed the last chapter, so I would like to take a second to thank them. As for the one or two people who raged at me regarding Gohan's death, I'm sorry. But no threats, eh? As for why I didn't include SS Goku's power level at the end of last chapter: A) SS Goku hadn't fought yet, so I didn't see the need. And B) What sort of fun would it be to tell you his power level before his chapter? That would take all the surprise out of the fight. One of the coolest tools of the author (especially in updating writing such as this) is the cliffhanger. Can't give away the outcome of the battle before it happens, can you? And, the last thing, and this especially goes for Golden Tornado, as a few readers pointed out, Chaozu did NOT teach Gohan the kamikaze attack. He warned him against it so he wouldn't do it by accident with his easily fluctuating ki level. The way Gohan's power works, he should have been in danger of that all the time in the real series. And also, Golden Tornado, I would appreciate it if you didn't start drama on the review page. I don't want this to turn into the Super Smash Bros. page I work on. Now that I got all that out of the way, lets watch (er… read) the conclusion of the Frieza saga!
Vegeta sat up, watching as his fellow Sayian shot off in a rage after the evil tyrant Frieza. He's done it! The low class clown has actually become the almighty Super Sayian of legend!
Goku's eyes had changed from deep black to a clouded teal, and his hair burned with a golden glow. His normally cheerful expression was locked into one of hate, and with each passing second, his rage swallowed his perception even further. All of his anger and power was consuming his personality, and the need for retribution and justice had overrode even his lowest level of thoughts. He was nothing more than a tool of fury now, only the most basic of instincts driving him.
Frieza flew up into the air, charging a ball of his ki in his hand. Before he knew what was happening, Goku flew into him with a headbutt, sending him flying back again. His eyes grew wide as he felt the effects of the attack. What is this?… his power… it overshadows even my own! Several minutes ago, he was nothing more than a weakling! Where did he obtain this insane power?
Before Frieza could even stand back up, Goku was on top of him, his breathing ragged as he brought his fists down onto Frieza's head. Frieza coughed out blood, his mind reeling as he tried to comprehend the current situation. No one has ever hurt me like this since my father… And yet, he is only a lowly monkey! Frieza built up his energy in frustration, throwing up his hand up in front of Goku's face. There was a flash of uncertainty in Goku's expression as a small pink blast erupted from Frieza's finger, hitting him from point blank range. Goku's head snapped back, and Frieza jumped up, his relieved laughter echoing across the landscape.
"Ha! You took a death beam at point blank! I'd like to see you survive that, ape!"
Goku pulled his head forward, showing not a single mark where the attack hit. He dashed at Frieza again, his teeth grinding together as he growled. Frieza backed up slightly, his confidence completely dismantled. In his world, he was the strongest being ever, and this scenario was crumbling quickly. Frieza could feel himself panicking, and was using all his willpower just to keep from letting a cry of fear escape from his lips.
Raditz turned to the sky, watching the spectacle from his vantage point on the floor. "He's…. he's doing it…." A small grin formed on his face even as his breathing slowed down. "Lost… too… too much blood….at least… I got to see Frieza afraid… before I died…" Raditz's eyes gradually closed as he took in his final breath. His head slumped to the side, and the older brother of Goku, the legendary Super Sayian, finally fell to rest.
Vegeta shook his head as he felt Raditz's life force fade away. Another Sayian gone… and unless Kakarot succeeds, we're next… He looked up at the two super powers, and felt a huge anxiety build in his head. The fate of our race lies on your fists, Kakarot. When did the task of fighting fall from the hands of the warriors into the hands of the fools?…
Frieza's mind raced as he attempted to dodge all of Goku's attacks. There has to be a weakness to exploit! He may be stronger and faster… but it appears his mind is gone. He seems to be fighting off of only instinct… perhaps I could take advantage of that…
Frieza shot a ball of energy straight into the air. Goku's eyes followed the ball, leaving his body open as his neck cranned up. Just as I thought! Frieza threw a fist at his head, putting all of his energy into the attack. Without looking down, Goku's hand shot out, grabbing his wrist and squeezing with all of his might. There was a cracking sound, and Frieza tried to pull away. But there was no escaping for the tyrant. Goku pulled back his free hand and created an energy ball, pressing it into the changeling's chest.
"No!… wait!" An explosion went off, sending Frieza into the ground, throwing up a cloud of smoke. Goku went to charge in, when a small figure burst out of the cloud. Frieza flew high into the air, both of his hands above his head.
"You may indeed be more powerful than I, monkey… but I don't think you can survive in space! I end this here! Death ball!"
A large pink crackling ball of energy formed over his head, pulsating like it was a heart of some sort. "This ends here, ape! The planet will go along with all of you!"
Instead of throwing the attack at Goku, he thrust it downward, straight toward the planet itself. Vegeta's eyes shot open as he realized what was happening. He plans on destroying this place just as he did the Sayian homeworld! Kakarot won't be able to save us now! Without thinking, he dashed forward, putting himself in between the planet and the energy.
"I won't let you, Frieza! Final Flash!" Putting every ounce of ki into the attack, the Final Flash shot upward, meeting the Death Ball halfway. Vegeta was pushing as hard as he could, but Frieza was using telekinesis to control the blast. Vegeta could feel the ball making it's way down through his beam and towards Namek. In panic, he reached within and pulled out as much ki as he could manage.
Goku flew up above the struggle, coming down on Frieza's head with an axe handle smash. Frieza's grip on his attack slipped, and the Death Ball and Final Flash came hurtling towards him, creating a tremendous explosion. Both Goku and Vegeta were knocked away by the great residual shockwave. Vegeta dropped to one knee, his last drop of energy wasted by the attack.
Suddenly, both Goku and Vegeta's heads spun around as they heard a mocking laugh.
"Ha… you think you've won? I've been going easy on you both! It's about time I showed you maggots what the ruler of the galaxy can REALLY do!" Frieza was standing on the ground, his normally white form blackened and cut from the last struggle. His grin was twisted and dark, and his left eye had a twitch to it.
"I can't be held responsible for what happens next, you fools!" His voice was cracking at intervals as he spoke. "I've never gone to my limit before! I've never had a reason to! But… the two of you have pushed me! Pushed me far worse than anyone has before! I was right to destroy the Sayian race, and now I will finally finish the task!"
Vegeta stared on in horror as he felt Frieza's power rising again. How much higher can he go?… For what little good it would do, he got into his fighting stance, ready to stand against Frieza until death. Just as Frieza peaked, Goku appeared in front of him, bringing his fist up into Frieza's gut. The tyrant's eyes bulged out and his breath was forced from his lungs. Goku lifted his fists, coming down with an axe handle over Frieza's head, sending him hurtling toward the ground.
The changeling managed to catch himself before hitting dirt, but Goku was already in front of him, shooting out a small ki blast with one hand. The attack ripped through him, leaving a gaping hole in his chest. He looked down at the hole in his body and let out a small chuckle. Everything seemed to slow down, and all the sounds around him became dulled. He looked around, noticed Vegeta watching in wonder, saw the small earthling propping himself up on his elbows, and noticed the empty feeling on the planet. Devoid of life. He thought of how many planets he had done this to, creating such a lifeless feeling. Now he could feel that same feeling welling up in himself. He had come here to find immortality, and instead found death. He would have laughed at the irony, if it didn't hurt so much.
Frieza's ki became uncontrollable, and his mangled form crashed into the ground. Goku appeared right above him, his hands pulled back for a Kamehameha. For the first time since he had ascended, Goku spoke.
"Die, Frieza!"
He thrusted his hands downward, and the wave of blue energy erupted in a violent burst. Frieza stared at the Super Sayian with a sort of morbid fascination in his eyes as the blast washed over him. His form slowly dissapeared as a final yell of defiance was lost in the deafening sound of the explosion.
Goku kept pumping power into the attack, causing the wave to expand. Frieza's lifeless body disintegrated in the ki. The blast ripped into the ground, sending up rocks and molten lava. He let out a guttural scream, dumping all of his ki into the attack. Vegeta shook his head, snapping back into reality. "Kakarot, no! He's dead, you fool!"
But Goku was lost in the thrill of his power. The beam traveled through the planet, erupting through the other side like a new volcano. Ki and lava exploded into the air, and the sky became dark and cold as the atmosphere began to collapse.
Krillin sat up, trying to clear his head. There was a strange taste in the air, and he was trying to figure out what was going on. He saw Goku, and a dread chill shook up his spine. Oh no… Goku lost himself in the power… He doesn't even know what he's doing anymore…
Suddenly, a burst of lava shot back out of the hole, knocking Goku back. His hair faded to black as the ground began to rumble, and lightning began to dance around the sky. The planet began to crack, and lava began to shoot out everywhere. Krillin looked up in time to see a gigantic bright light flood over all of his senses. And then, suddenly, quiet.
AN- Well, there you go. End of chapter. Frieza's gone, but so is everyone else. Oh well. Hope everyone enjoyed the Frieza saga. I know, the chapter was short, but what do you want from me? Go back and read the last chapter again if you want long. Heh. But don't worry, I think the next chapter will be long, although I can't promise anything. Oh, and people mentioned how I tend to lack detail of death scenes. I quote a story I read, narrated by Krillin. "I felt terrible as I watched Goku die, thinking 'its okay. We'll just revive him with the dragonballs.' And I felt miserable. Here, my best friend was dying, and I felt nothing." The fact that I can write about them in the afterlife, or simply revive them, makes it hard to really write a touching death scene about them. It feels silly writing a touching death scene, just to write about them again in two chapters. Oh well.
Oh, and sorry about the horrible wait time for this one. I had it done rather early, but the beta process took a while. This coming up week is my final week of college, and it's gonna be filled with hell and mayhem, so there may be another long wait for the next chapter. I have so much god damned stress in my life all the sudden, so I haven't been able to really focus on this at the moment. Sorry about that.
