Chapter 27: A Captain's Pride
Outside of Frieza's Ship...
Vegeta and Bardock both rocketed towards Ginyu, ready to rain attacks down onto the Captain. Ginyu was a much more skillful fighter than either of the Saiyans, his technique working as a decent counter to their combined strength. However, technique only got the Captain so far. As much as he was trying to defend himself, he was being overwhelmed by the total might of Bardock and Vegeta.
Ginyu did a spinning ballet kick to send Vegeta sprawling through the air, but Bardock came in for a heavy punch to the gut. Ginyu coughed and slammed his elbow onto the back of Bardock's head, but Vegeta was already on him with a sneaky kick to the back.
Ginyu slammed against the ground hard. He pushed himself up and glared at Bardock and Vegeta with disdain. Both of the Saiyans out-streched their arms and each fired a massive ki blast at the Captain. Ginyu stood up and roared at the approaching energy spheres. He thrust his hand out and shot his signature move. "MILKY CANNON!"
The Milky Cannon and the two blasts smashed into each other. The energy beams struggled for a bit, pushing and bucking at one another for supremacy. Ginyu's blast was singularly stronger, but the other two blasts combined had more oomph. The Milky Cannon was engulfed and the blasts rocketed right at Ginyu.
The Captain scowled and crossed his arms in front of his face, bracing for impact. And then he was enveloped by the attacks of his foes. A massive explosion echoed out and tore up the surrounding area. Vegeta and Bardock both hovered high above and watched as the smoke cleared. Once it had fully, they saw that Captain Ginyu was still standing. Heavily breathing and with his armor ruined, but still standing.
Bardock scoffed as he glared down at his opponent. "Goddammit Ginyu. Just make it easy on everyone and die!"
Ginyu snarled. "A C-Captain's Pride will not...a-allow him to..."
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Cut it out with that 'Captain's Pride' idiocy. You're not a hero, you freak! You're a giant, purple nuisance! And you're just as much of a bastard as everyone else in the Frieza Force! No one is looking up to you, so quit being so damned belligerent!"
Ginyu sneered. "Yeah! And you're both ones to talk, eh?! You two are no better than me! Just because you rebel against Lord Frieza, doesn't make you paragons of goodness!"
Ginyu coughed and buckled over, but he stopped himself from falling to his knees. "I...I won't be defeated by you two so easily!"
Ginyu thrust his hands into the air. "Parmesan Shower!"
The Captain launched a battery of ki blasts at his Saiyan opponents. The sheer, overwhelming number of shots came jetting towards Bardock and Vegeta and forced them onto the defensive. They both dodged backwards and deflected away what they couldn't dodge.
Vegeta was cocky and arrogant as he easily avoided the attacks, mocking Ginyu with snide laughter. Bardock, meanwhile, was watching. He knew this desperate attack's real purpose. Ginyu was trying to distract them! Bardock kept his eye trained towards the source of the blasts, looking at the gaps between attacks for any sign of Ginyu. Eventually, he did see one and he narrowed his gaze at what he saw. A flash of golden power shined out between the ki shots and Bardock nodded. He knew the score now.
Suddenly, as quick as they started, the flow of ki blasts stopped. Ginyu outstretched his arms, glowing with golden light, and smirked at Vegeta. "CHANGE N-"
A quick ki blast whipped into Ginyu's mouth and cancelled his technique. The Captain was bowled over, coughing and choking as he hit the ground. Vegeta was confused as to what was happening, but Bardock was very aware. "I know your tricks, scumbag! It ain't happening!"
Ginyu shakily stood and, smacking his palms onto his cheeks to wake himself up, screamed in frustration. He reared his arm back and hurled a colossal ki blast at Bardock. Bardock bared his fangs. He steeled up his hand and smashed into the blast once it got close. The power of the blast surged into his arm and rendered Bardock's limb numb. He saved himself, but his arm was briefly dead. Too bad for him that Ginyu had already summoned another ki blast and tossed it once more.
Ginyu smirked. He knew that he had Bardock this time. With his arm numb and his movements slowed as a result, the older Saiyan was trapped. Bardock let loose a ragged sigh. "Goddammit..."
And then, he made the move to save himself. "KAIOKEN TIMES TWO!"
Ginyu watched in frustration as red energy poured from Bardock's body. Empowered, the Saiyan quickly rocketed around Ginyu's massive attack. But he instantly damned himself for this. Bardock was already fatigued from the fight so far. He didn't have enough stamina for this move he barely understood. So, with a massive electric shock through all of his nerves, the Kaioken took its toll. Bardock faltered mid-air and he was left a sitting duck.
Ginyu chuckled. "Take this punk! CHANGE-"
A sudden pink blast from left field came in and smashed into Ginyu. The charged energy shot smashed into the Captain as the attacker shouted out. "Saturday Crush!"
Ginyu was reeling, but he recognized the voice as it shouted out. "Vegeta! Father! Blast that bastard!"
Bardock was having trouble keeping his eyes open, but he did as he was instructed. He lazily tossed a ki blast before falling from the sky. Vegeta did so as well, forming a finger gun and shooting out a Bang!
Both attacks went shooting towards Ginyu. The Captain managed to dodged Bardock's attack, but Vegeta's beam hit its mark, puncturing Ginyu's chest. The Captain gagged in pain and stumbled back, leaning against one of the legs of Frieza's ship.
Meanwhile, just before Bardock crashed into the ground, he was caught. The older Saiyan cracked his eyes open and saw a welcome sight, the face of his eldest son. "Yo Raditz...how ya doin'?"
Raditz nodded, kneeling down to set Bardock on the ground. "Hey Dad."
As Raditz began to check his Dad's injuries, Vegeta landed next to them. The Prince smirked and wasted no time in beginning to chastise Raditz. "Hey loser. It's been a minute. Nice to see that, even when you manage to gain some strength, you're still the weakest Saiyan on the Planet..."
Raditz had no time for Vegeta's bullshit. Instead, he went to tending Bardock. Vegeta continued. "...you know, except for the halfling and that worthless mother of yours..."
Bardock's hazy façade quickly faded. He immediately glared over at Vegeta and snapped at the Prince. "Shut the Hell up and go finish Ginyu while we have the chance!"
Vegeta snorted. "What's the hurry? Ginyu is nothing now. He's just waiting to die over there and-"
Bardock snapped back. "Then don't keep him waiting! You need to drop this cocky bullshit and be pragmatic! If Frieza came back, Ginyu could be a hassle to deal with while we're fighting him. Go kill him! Now!"
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
The Prince turned and began to whistle. He strolled up to Ginyu, sprawled out on the ground, and smiled down at the Captain. "Looks like the time is up, Captain~"
As Vegeta did his thing, Bardock turned his attention to Raditz. His son was pulling a Senzu Bean out, the last one apparently, and began to offer it to Bardock. Bardock shook his head and turned it away. "Go help Krillin. Little guy dismantled Zarbon, but he's pretty messed up. Go help him."
Raditz stood and nodded. "Right. Mom mentioned him..."
Raditz turned and began to walk in Krillin's direction. Bardock sighed in relief. The battle was over, maybe he would get to rest for a minute. Bardock leaned back and closed his eyes, thankful for the respite. But then he immediately cringed at an all-too-familiar sound: Vegeta being Vegeta.
The older Saiyan let loose a ragged sigh and turned his attention to the Prince and Captain Ginyu. Vegeta had a massive smirk, stomping his boot down on Ginyu's critical wound as the Captain screamed in pain. Bardock shouted. "Vegeta!"
Vegeta turned to Bardock. "What?! Are you going to give me some big spiel about mercy?! After everything this bastard did to the Saiyan Race?"
Bardock sneered. "Hell no! I want you to stop playing with your goddamned food! Kill him so that he isn't a threat anymore!"
Vegeta was uppity. "Are you saying I don't deserve some fun after years of dealing with this bastard?"
Bardock snapped back. "I'm saying you need to act like an adult!"
Bardock sighed in annoyance and mumbled to himself. "Fuck me already..."
Vegeta glared back down at Ginyu and sadistically smirked. He took a knee and grabbed Ginyu by the horn, bashing the Captain in the face with his fist. "How's it feel? Huh, Ginyu?"
Punch. "Huh? How are those stupid poses and stupid Force helping you now?! Always looking down on me and my race!"
Punch. "Guldo is dead!"
Punch. "Jeice is dead!"
Punch. "Burter is dead!"
Punch. "Recoome is dead!"
Vegeta grabbed Ginyu's other horn and began to whip him around in the air. "And now...YOU can join them!"
Ginyu went flipping through the air as Vegeta charged an attack. He knew that he was dead. Manly tears ran down the Captain's face as he tumbled through the sky. Vegeta was yelling some kind of venomous barb on the ground, but Ginyu's ears were ringing. He thought to his Force and mentally apologized to them. If he were a better Captain...then this would never have happened. Ginyu's eyes began to shut. He was ready for it to end. He had failed his men, he had failed Lord Frieza, and he was helpless.
But, as Ginyu was ready to die, a bit of hope showed up. A flash of hopeful orange that inspired the Captain to continue on! A wide smirk spread across Ginyu's face and he shouted at the top of his lungs. "CHANGE NOW!"
Vegeta was perplexed. He watched as Ginyu, seemingly helpless, suddenly began to glow with golden light. A beam shot from the Captain's unseen face and arced across the sky. Vegeta followed the beam, eventually seeing the target.
Goku stopped dead in his tracks as that strange alien shot a beam at him. He crossed his arms in front of himself to block the attack. The beam hit, but a sudden feeling overwhelmed Goku. He felt himself being pulled, but his body wasn't moving. Something was definitely wrong. This feeling overwhelmed Goku's entire being, and he whited out as a result.
On the ground, Vegeta had a ki blast hovering above his hand. He watched as, in spite of firing at Kakarot, Ginyu's body fell from the sky and splatted against the ground. The Prince walked up to Ginyu's body, looking more confused and annoyed than anything. "What the Hell...?"
Bardock, meanwhile, was in the middle of a panic. He hefted his aching body from the ground and began to run over to Vegeta and Ginyu. "Dammit Vegeta!"
Vegeta wasn't paying attention to Bardock anymore. He stared down at Ginyu, pointing the ki blast direct at the unconscious Captain's body. "I can't stand Kakarot, but I can still feel how little of a match you are for him. Your ignorance was painful right up until the end. So, die, scum..."
Bardock shouted again. "Vegeta, don't do it! Stop!"
Vegeta growled under his breath and shot Bardock a hateful glare. "First, it's kill, and now it's stop?! Will you make up your damned mi-"
From high up in the sky, Goku rained down as fast as he could. Catching Vegeta off guard, the apparent Saiyan from Earth slammed his fist into Vegeta's cheek and sent the Prince sailing into a nearby rock. Vegeta smashed into the boulder hard and was buried by the avalanching rubble. Bardock came to a halt and clenched his fist. The older Saiyan silently cursed to himself as "Goku" began to chuckle with a much deeper register of voice.
As Bardock glared at his Son's body, they were joined by three more new arrivals. Gohan, Gine, and Chi-Chi all descended from the sky. Gine and Gohan were both happy to see nearly everyone they cared about still standing. But Chi-Chi adopted a furious look. Marching across the field and straight up to Bardock, Chi-Chi wasted no time in slapping her father-in-law right across the face. "What kind of negligent guardian are you to let your grandson fight such a brute like that?!"
Bardock totally ignored her question, instead grabbing Chi-Chi by the arm and slamming her and himself to the ground. "Get down, dammit!"
Chi-Chi was shocked and confused as a very familiar, blue wrist band shot above the two of them and right through the air where her head was just moments ago. Chi-Chi didn't know what to say and Gohan and Gine were horrified as Bardock rolled on the ground and smashed the heel of his foot onto "Goku's" blocking forearm.
Goku slid to the side and Bardock hopped to his feet to face down his attacker/son. Gohan shouted as he Father and Grandfather squared up to each other. "Dad?! What are you doing?!"
Gine shouted at her youngest. "What's the meaning of this, Kakarot?!"
As Bardock and "Goku" glared at each other, Goku's voice rang out from the other side of the battlefield. "Agh! Wh-what's going on...? M-my chest..."
Gohan, Gine, and Chi-Chi all turned their attention to the source of the voice. And Gohan gasped in terror at the sight of it. Captain Ginyu's body had hauled itself to its feet and was groaning with Goku's voice. Gine, while initially shocked, grimaced. "Dammit...I forgot that Ginyu could do that...I should have warned him..."
Gohan turned to his grandmother. "Grandma Gine, what's going on?!"
Before Gine could answer, Vegeta roared back to life. He ran from his spot in the rubble right up to Ginyu's body and forcefully jerked it around. Goku gurgled in pain, wincing at his fellow Saiyan. "Ve-Vegeta...?"
Raditz and Krillin both came running up, having observed the fight from a distance. Krillin shouted. "Goku! What are you doing?!"
Raditz sneered. "Something is off..."
Bardock immediately shouted at the Prince. "Dammit Vegeta! I told you to finish him quick...now he's changed bodies..."
Vegeta cocked his head in confusion. "He did what?!"
Bardock was hurting, but he explained. "Ginyu screams about being some prideful warrior, but that's only if you're weaker than him! Whenever the dirty bastard comes across stronger opponents, he'll with bodies with them and take the greater power for his own! From what I've heard, he's done it at least three times...but I think this is the first time he's done it in a while..."
Raditz was horrified. "Captain Ginyu is a body thief?! But he's never looked any different for as long as I remember him!"
Bardock sneered. "That's because the purple prick takes any bodies he steals to Frieza and grovels for body modification! Damn, frail-egoed, cheating bastard can't stand not looking the same in his mirror at home!"
Ginyu shouted from his new home in Goku's body. "Shut your mouth!"
The Captain was practically drooling, tossing a punch into the clear air next to him and smirking as the sheer force smashed into the side of Frieza's ship, making it tilt over a bit. "My Body Change is the ultimate sign of respect! A mark of honor from one great warrior to another! You're just mad because, from the looks of it, I took your kid Bardock..."
Ginyu squeezed his new fists shut. "But I'll make sure to use his power well. To continue to serve Lord Frieza to my fullest..."
Ginyu struck a mighty pose. "The NEW Captain Ginyu!"
And then Ginyu charged. He sped past Bardock and right at Krillin and Raditz. He grabbed Raditz by his long hair and began to whip him around in the air. Krillin went for a punch, but Ginyu punted him in the stomach. Krillin buckled over and Ginyu slammed the Saiyan in his hand on top of the human.
Gine pushed Gohan to the side and charged towards Ginyu. The Captain reared his fist back to crush Raditz's head, but Gine slid in and tripped the Captain. Ginyu stumbled over and Gine leapt onto his back, wrapping her arms around his throat for a sleeper hold. "BARDOCK! HAVE KAKAROT READY! WE NEED TO-"
Ginyu reached behind him and grabbed Gine by her armor strap. He flipped the older, Saiyan woman over his back and slammed her onto his knee. Gine coughed up a bit of blood and Ginyu flinged her across the field. And then the Captain turned to glare at Chi-Chi, Gohan, Bardock, and Vegeta.
Bardock clenched his teeth, squeezing his daughter-in-law's shoulders. "Hey...get pissed off at me later..."
Chi-Chi was confused. "What?"
In response, Bardock picked her up from the ground and tossed her away. Chi-Chi landed in the water with a massive splash and Bardock turned to shout at his two contemporaries. "Get your shit together! We gotta stop him!"
As Bardock shouted, Ginyu charged towards him, Vegeta, and Gohan. The three of them powered up to their fullest and charged back at Goku's rampaging body. Bardock went for a punch, but all of his muscles screamed in response. He faltered and Ginyu booted him away with a heavy kick. Bardock crashed into the ground and groaned to himself. "Shit. Kakarot got really strong..."
Meanwhile, Vegeta and Gohan both fought hard against Ginyu. The two of them were both still relatively fresh and, in spite of not really liking each other, their Saiyan instincts allowed them to sync up for some tight defense. Vegeta grabbed Ginyu by the forearm and flipped over the Captain's back, pulling his arm out and leaving the body thief wide open. "Blast him, brat!"
Gohan charged a Masenko, but then he had a major pause. Whether Ginyu was in the body or not, that face was his Dad. This little pause was all Ginyu need. He drew his free hand back and bitch-smacked Gohan to the ground. And then he turned and smashed his fist into Vegeta's lower left side. Vegeta shouted in pain and whipped around, blasting Ginyu in the face. But, Ginyu came right back with a hefty kick to Vegeta's other side. The Prince fell to his knees and Ginyu turned to attack Gohan again, but then a new challenger came charging in for the save! Goku in Ginyu's body speared his own body to the ground and began to wildly fight back. "I don't know what's going on...but you won't hurt my son, you bastard!"
Ginyu reached up and grabbed his old body by the horns. "Get this worthless, rotting shell way from me!"
Ginyu headbutted Goku hard and then drove his face into the dirt. The Captain stood to deliver a heavy stomp to his old form, but then Vegeta came in with a massive, raging haymaker. Ginyu went tumbling and Vegeta reached down to pull Goku up. "On your feet Kakarot! It's your body, help fight it!"
Goku was dazed. He clenched his hand over the wound on his chest and coughed up blue blood. "I'd kinda like to have that body back..."
Ginyu recovered and sneered at Goku and Vegeta. "To Hell with the both of you!"
He thrust his hand out and shouted. "Milky Cannon!"
But nothing happened. Ginyu was confused, but then surprise burst onto his face. "Oh shit..."
No one was sure of what to think. As they all got up, every one of Ginyu's opponents stared in confusion, wondering what was going on. Everyone except for Bardock and Gine, of course.
A long while ago...
Ginyu chuckled as he stood over his former body, testing out the new limits of his power by throwing a few punches and kicks. "Such a good body! I'll be able to serve King Cold so much better with this form! Maybe it'll even impress the two Princes..."
Jeice smiled and clapped at Recoome, Guldo, and Burter slaughtered the rest of the platoon that the Force had just defeated. "Indeed, Cap'n! Such a good body! We just gotta get the Doctors to restore ya face!"
Ginyu slapped his new cheeks. "Right!"
On the ground, the former owner of the body gripped Ginyu's ankle. "Wh-what have you..."
Ginyu glared with disdain. Jeice sighed and shot a ki blast through the guys chest and he died instantly. "No witnesses, right Cap'n?"
Ginyu sighed and rolled his eyes. "Well yeah, obviously. But you don't have to say that, Jeice. It's so...uncool..."
Jeice bowed his head as the other Force members came back. "Sorry Cap'n..."
Recoome, Burter, and Guldo all smiled and looked over their Captain's new body. Recoome clicked on his Scouter and whistled in appreciation. "120,000! Nice!"
Burter interjected. "Can you fly, Captain?"
Ginyu tapped his chin. He thrust his hand out and tried to fire a blast, but failed. "Nah. Looks like this body is too different from ones I've used in the past. I'll need you to carry me until I can figure it out..."
Burter smirked. "Of course, Captain! I'm always happy to let you fly Air Burter!"
Ginyu nodded and hopped up on Burter's back. The Force flew away, chuckling and telling jokes and offering to share chocolate nut bars with each other. Meanwhile, on the ground and behind a nearby bit of ship wreckage, Bardock and Gine were both sat. Bardock had an icy, tight grip across Gine's mouth and Gine looked mortified.
Bardock removed his hand and shook his head. "Not a word. Not to Toma. Not to Fasha. Not to anyone. If that gets around, Ginyu will kill us all. Got it, Gine?!"
Gine nodded her head trepidatiously, and then she and Bardock went running off.
Back in the present...
Bardock and Gine turned and looked at each other, and then they both glared back at Ginyu as he stared down and Goku's hands. Gine spoke up first, speaking to everyone else present. "He's never possessed a body quite like a Saiyan's before. He doesn't know what he's doing!"
Ginyu snapped his attention to Gine, who was glaring at him. "You stole my son's body, but all you can to is rampage and throw physical strength around! You have no idea how to technically use his body!"
Everyone turned their attention from Gine to Ginyu, who was blushing a deep shade of red. Ginyu didn't say a word, but everyone could see on his face that Gine had hit the nail on the head. Bardock turned to Raditz and Krillin, who had gotten back up. "Any of those bean things left?"
Raditz held the empty bag upside down. "Fresh out. Me and Kakarot used a lot of them to get more training time in."
Bardock sneered. "Dammit..."
Vegeta chimed in. "There are healing tanks on Frieza's ship."
Gohan spoke up. "And we have Dende!"
Bardock nodded. "Right. So, we have options..."
The older Saiyan looked at each one of his cohorts and then at Ginyu. And then, he lifted his hands up and pointed them at the defenseless Captain. Bardock took a deep breath. "PEPPER HIS ASS! WE'LL BREAK KAKAROT'S BODY AND FIX IT LATER ONCE WE'VE GOTTEN HIM BACK IN IT!"
Vegeta smirked and began to instantly fire blasts at Goku's body. "Don't have to tell me twice!"
Everyone else, barring Gohan, immediately joined in as well. Soon, Ginyu was being assailed from all sides by hundreds of ki blasts. From within the smoke, Ginyu was screaming in pain. He could block some attacks, even deflect a few, but he couldn't stop all of them at once.
Goku growled from the sidelines. He tried to fire blasts of his own, but nothing doing. He understood Ginyu's body about as well as Ginyu understood his. But he still knew how to physically fight. So, not caring about Ginyu's body, Goku charged into the fray and delivered a heavy punch to his own cheek. The Captain growled and tried to attack back, but the blasts just managed to do even more damage to him.
The blizzard of Ki Blasts was overwhelming. And, with everyone but Vegeta trying their best not to hit Goku in Ginyu's body, the Captain was soon way more damaged. Goku shouted out and reared his fist back one more time, before striking his own body across the face and sending it crumpling to the ground. Captain Ginyu laid in the dirt, defeated for a second time.
As the smoke cleared and the dust settled, Chi-Chi returned from her little trip to the water and ran up to attend to the terrified Gohan. She held her confused and terror-stricken son close while all of the others gathered around Goku and Ginyu's scorched forms. Goku in Ginyu's body was on his knees, but Ginyu in Goku's body was flat on his back.
Ginyu damned himself. "Sh-shit...even with this new body..."
Goku snapped at the Captain. "My body! It's my body! And I want it back!"
Ginyu sneered at Goku. "Bite me."
As everyone else loomed over him, Ginyu began to tear up. Bardock was unmoved. "Either you switch back, or we make you Ginyu."
Ginyu chuckled as tears streamed down his face. "I've already failed Lord Frieza twice...do you really think I'd fail him a third time by just giving this body back? So that...it..."
Ginyu shook his head and became enraged. "So that it can try and stand up to him?! This Saiyan is weaker than Lord Frieza, but I can see that he'll get stronger as time wears on! So even if I have to die in this miserable shell...I'll die to keep Lord Frieza's position in the Universe safe...!"
Vegeta shrugged. "Whatever. We could just kill you and then, if Kakarot really is necessary to have around to fight Frieza, just ask the Dragon to restore his original body."
Vegeta turned to his cohorts from Earth. "Right?"
Krillin slowly nodded. "I-I guess that's an option..."
Vegeta smirked and chuckled. "Exactly. So, see Ginyu? Even with this Body Change of yours, you're still a failure! Kakarot showed up at the 11th hour to give you an out and you still blew it!"
Ginyu's eyes darted around. While Vegeta mocked him, he could see that Bardock, Gine, and Raditz were all really prepared to obliterate him should he try to change again. Vegeta continued. "How does it feel to know that, to a bastard like Frieza, even a loyal dog like you is seen as little more than trash when put into this position?! If he saw you right now, he'd probably kill you out of disgust!"
Ginyu was angry, but Vegeta's words cowed him. The Prince was right, at least in one regard. He had totally failed his Lord Frieza. But...
Bardock turned to Vegeta. "Vegeta. Shut the Hell up. Your mouth has caused us enough trouble already!"
Meanwhile, Goku ignored his Father and Vegeta bicker to watch Ginyu on the ground. And he actually felt a bit sorry for the Captain. At the end of the day, Goku didn't know much about this whole Body Change thing, but he did know his own face. He was able to recognize when there was pain on it. And he could see a ton of pain shadowing his eyes.
Goku spoke up. "Hey...if you just change bodies back with me...you can just go."
Everyone flinched back, falling silent as Goku said that. Bardock snapped at his youngest son. "Kakarot! Are you out of your damned mind?! He's an enemy!"
Goku shook his head. "Yeah. I know. But...I feel really bad for him. He's just trying to do his job and make this Frieza guy happy. So...I'm not upset that he took my body. I'm just, like...why would you try to win a fight with a power you didn't even train to acquire?"
Bardock shook his head. "Kakarot! I have my hands full with Vegeta being 7 Shades of Stupid, I don't need you to do it too!"
Goku looked up at his Dad. "But, hear me out!"
On the ground, Ginyu was blocking all of that bickering out. He was regressing into his own mind. He had failed his Lord Frieza. But...Vegeta was wrong about one thing. Ginyu flashed back, to a time long ago.
Long ago, in the past...
"Tell me another grand tale, Captain. I wish to be entertained by another rousing adventure~"
Ginyu chuckled in response to this. "Of course! I am always happy to use my time off to entertain you! Allow me to show you my Dance of Triumph, done when I dominated the Skuxxoids for His Majesty~!"
Back in the Present...
Ginyu's fist was shaking with rage as he laid there. The thought of his failure was eating him alive. Oblivious, Goku continued his scolding. "But I just feel bad! He took my body with no idea of how it works! He's never used a Kamehameha! He's never used the Turtle Style! And I know he's never used the Kaioken, so he must be desperate..."
Ginyu's eyes snapped open. He glared at the people all standing over him and snarled in a truly threatening voice. "I will not fail Lord Frieza in the end!"
Ginyu caught everyone off guard and he bashed them away. They all took fighting stances and Ginyu clenched his fists. "I'm still able to fight, you miserable Saiyans!"
Suddenly, power began to swell within Ginyu and Bardock flinched back. "Shit...that's right..."
Krillin turned to Bardock. "Wh-what's going on?!"
Bardock was unnerved. "Ginyu is a sight learner. And he's seen me use the Kaioken twice..."
Ginyu roared at the top of his lungs and red power burst from Goku's body. "KAIOKEN TIMES TWO!"
