3rd Person
Guldo turned out to be a massive push over. With the three of them, Guldo lost almost immediately. Not only were Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Gohan much stronger than Guldo with their potentials unleashed, but Chiaotzu's telekinesis powers were now incredibly strong, stronger than even Guldo's. With their power, Guldo couldn't even make a proper move, even with his time stop powers. They defeated him, though he was only knocked out, which Vegeta 'fixed' by quickly sending an energy blast at Guldo's unconscious body. The Ginyu Force, however, weren't even a little sad about their fellow member's death. Their only problem with Guldo being dead was that now their group pose was ruined. With their victory, the group was feeling pretty confident. "If we can keep this up until Goku and the others arrive, we should be okay..." Krillin said. Vegeta scoffed at that notion.
"Oh please. You three are off on your little world, aren't you? Guldo was nothing. He's the weakest of the bunch. The real suffering truly starts now..." Vegeta said with a grimace.
"Alright, Vegeta! Now it's our turn to play!" Recoome said with an almost innocent sounding laugh. He turned to the others with the same expression. "This fight is between me and Vegeta, kids, so it's best if you stay out of this, but if you really want to help him out, go ahead. I'll take you all on myself. Now! Feel the power! Of! Recoome!" Vegeta, with a vein about to pop in his forehead, charged all of his power immediately, catching everyone off guard. Vegeta rushed at Recoome, punching him in the face and then getting behind him to knock him to the ground. He then jumped up high and landed on Recoome's gut with his knees, before grabbing Recoome's leg and throwing him into the side of a hill. Vegeta then charged his energy and fired a large energy wave at recoome.
"See you in hell, Recoome!" Vegeta shouted as the blast hit. Vegeta panted, thinking he had finished Recoome off, but then he felt it. His power was still very much fine. The dust cleared, and Recoome was standing, doing a little pose. His armor was destroyed, and he had many minor wounds all over his body, but other than that, he seemed like he was completely fine. He was even laughing still. This just pissed Vegeta off even more.
"Nice try, but it's my turn." Recoome got closer, still smiling. "Now this is one of my favorite little moves. RECOOME KICK!" He shouted before almost immediately crossing the large distance over to Vegeta and kneeing him in the face. Vegeta quickly got back up and the two clashed. However, it was painfully clear that Vegeta was out matched, since none of his attacks were landing or really affecting Recoome at all. "I've got to hand it to you, I'm impressed, but let's see if you can bounce back from this one! RECOOME BOOM!" He shouted once more before elbowing the top of Vegeta's head, sending him to the ground. He then rushed to attack Vegeta while he was down, but Vegeta dodged the attack, but Recoome was still fast enough to fly after him. Recoome dodged the blasts Vegeta sent his way and got behind Vegeta, kicking him down into a lake. Vegeta flew out of the lake and hit Recoome straight on in his gut.
Recoome acted like it hurt a lot, but he quickly changed when he grabbed Vegeta. "I'm glad you're back, Vegeta!" He said as he began to fly towards the ground, Vegeta's head now pointed downward. After crashing into the ground, Vegeta was seen stuck in the ground, twitching. Reccome grabbed Vegeta's leg and pulled him out. "What do we have here? It looks like a vegetable ready to be picked." Recoome said with a laugh. Vegeta responded to the joke with another energy blast, straight in Recoome's face. To give Vegeta credit for this attack, it had some effect. The heavily damaged Vegeta did his best to stand up to look at how much damage he did. Recoome jumped up and looked at Vegeta, the only damage caused was more minor injuries and most of his hair now being gone. "Now that was a low even for a Saiyan. You're ruthless Vegeta. No wonder you were always one of Frieza's favorites." Vegeta knew this was a losing battle. He was trying his hardest, knowing how hard it would be to win, but Recoome was just toying with him. "Now! RECOOME ERASER GUN!" Recoome fired an energy wave from his mouth, and as soon as he did, Gohan and the others made their move. Krillin kicked Recoome's head, forcing his mouth shut, while Gohan and Chiaotzu grabbed Vegeta and moved him out of the way of the blast.
"Are you idiots!? Instead of worrying about me, you three should have taken the opportunity to attack Recoome!" Vegeta yelled at them. "Damn it! You really think he's going to let his guard down again?" Recoome got up from being hit by Krillin's surprise attack.
"That was pretty crafty. You forced my mouth shut while I was firing a blast. I'm lucky I have a good dentist." Recoome said with a smile, showing how most of his teeth were now gone. He made his way to Krillin and kicked him in the head, almost immediately knocking him out. Gohan couldn't believe how easily Krillin was taken out. He and Chiaotzu charged their energy and rushed at Recoome, but their attacks did nothing. Gohan fired a Masako and Chiaotzu fired a Dodon Ray, but Recoome just blocked it with his hands. Recoome tried to move towards them, but Chiaotzu stopped him with his telekinesis, but Recoome was so strong, Chiaotzu could barely hold him. Gohan used this opportunity to attack Recoome with all he had, but again, his attacks didn't do anything to Recoome. Eventually, Chiaotzu lost the energy to hold Recoome, and Recoome was allowed to pumble the two.
Meanwhile, Ginyu had arrived at Frieza's ship and laid the Dragon Balls out in front of Frieza and Cooler. "Simply magnificent, Captain Ginyu." Frieza praised him. "I must admit, I'm impressed you were able to gather all 7 Dragon Balls so quickly."
"Indeed. As expected from you, Captain." Cooler commented.
"There's no higher honor than such praise from you, Lord Frieza and Lord Cooler." Ginyu said with a bow.
"Oho ho ho... It is finally time to turn my dream of immortality into a reality. Let's begin, shall we?" Frieza said as he walked towards the balls, his hands outstretched over them. "Dragon Balls! I command you to grant me immortality and eternal youth!" However, even after saying his wish, nothing happened.
"Sir? Are you immortal now?" Ginyu asked.
"N-No. I suspect not..." Frieza said, a tad bit confused as to why nothing seemed to happen.
"So was this just some elaborate joke? Did we only waste our time here?" Cooler said with a bit of anger. That's when it hit Frieza.
"Ah, yes! There must be some sort of incantation to activate them! Perhaps some sort of secret phrase that only the Namekians know... Seems I'll have to hunt down more of those worms..." Frieza turned on his scouter and picked up a faint reading on it. "Look at that. I'm picking up three Namekian power signatures. It appears a few of them survived."
"Lord Frieza, if you would like, I can force the phrase out of them."
"No, I think I'll ask them myself. You'll do well to remember that I have experience dealing with these primitive creatures. Captain Ginyu, you stay here and keep watch over the Dragon Balls."
"I'll go with you. I don't want to get bored waiting for you to come back. I wonder if these Namekians are any more fun than the others we've met." Cooler said with anticipation.
"Understood, Lord Frieza. I won't disappoint you!" With that, Frieza and Cooler flew off towards the direction of those three Namekians, who were Guru, Nail, and Dende.
Back in the fight with Recoome, the heroes were all beaten to the point where they couldn't stand anymore. Recoome was honestly disappointed by this, but he decided that it was time to finish them off, but before he could, he noticed something that looked like a spaceship landing on the planet. "What was that? Where'd that spaceship come from?" Recoome wondered out loud. Hearing this, and feeling the power that had just arrived on the planet, the others could only come to one hopeful conclusion.
"I-It's... Goku... and the others..." Krillin managed to say.
"Th-They...finally made it!" Chiaotzu said weakly but happily.
At the ship, Goku, Raditz, and Nappa each got off and looked around at Namek. They could immediately feel the other's powers, as well as the Ginyu Force's and the Cooler Force's. Nappa and Raditz could feel them as they were entering the atmosphere and told Goku about them and what they would probably do to his friends. As soon as they were off the ship and detected everyone's power, they flew off to them in a hurry. "Please be alive you guys... Please be safe..." Goku begged as he and the other 2 Saiyans flew towards the group. It didn't take them long to find the group. They were on their knees, beaten half to death, with Recoome throwing a powerful blast at them to finish them off. Goku immediately stepped in, getting in front of them and knocking the blast away with ease.
"What the...? Hey, who're you guys?" Recoome asked the 3 new Saiyans.
"D-Dad!" Gohan cried out at the sight of his father.
"K-Kakarot... You finally show your face..." Vegeta said with a pained voice. "And you brought Raditz and Nappa along, I see." Nappa and Raditz glared at Vegeta before turning back to Goku and his friends. The main reason Raditz came was to help his brother, but Nappa came for vengeance. He was grateful for Orion and the others helping him, so he was fine settling his debt with them by giving them the coordinates to Namek and helping out a bit, but when he heard that Vegeta was on Namek as well, he knew he had to go too. That damn Vegeta betrayed him, and he was going to show Vegeta just how strong he could get. Goku crouched down to the injured Gohan and gave him a bag.
"Gohan, here. Their Senzu Beans. Give some to the others too." Goku then turned to Recoome with a stern look. "I'll fight these guys on my own."
"You can take on Recoome and the rest of the Ginyu Force." Raditz said. "Nappa and I can easily take out Salza and the other Cooler Force Members."
"Raditz is right. We can take them out without even pushing ourselves too hard." Nappa said with a confident grin. Vegeta almost couldn't believe his ears. Kakarot was going to face the Ginyu Force alone while Raditz and Nappa took on Cooler's men? It was preposterous.
"What's a punny little guy like you gonna do!?" Recoome asked as He made his way to Goku.
"There's no way you can beat me." Goku said as the fight began. Salza and his men looked at Raditz with a curious look.
"You both are Saiyans, correct? You, the one with the long hair, you look sort of familiar, like the one that is about to fight Recoome. You both must be Orion's brothers that he talked about." Salza said.
"That is correct. Me and Kakarot are Orion's younger brothers."
"Then you should know you don't stand a chance. You lot were weaker than Orion when he died, so I doubt you'll give us a challenge." Salza said with a smile. "Neiz, Dore, let's show them how outclassed they are." The three soldiers then rushed at the two Saiyans. The two fights happened at the same time, but to call them both 'fights' would be an insult to true fights. Recoome was trying to hit Goku, but Goku would easily dodge before instantly raising his power to hit Recoome, lowering it once again afterwards. Salza and his team were also trying to get the upper hand on Raditz and Nappa, but the two Saiyans were easily overpowering the three grunts. "H-How!? How are you both this strong!? Orion could only keep up with us in a fight because of his techniques and tactics! You both who were even weaker than he was shouldn't even be able to touch us!" Salza exclaimed.
Eventually the two Saiyans had enough and decided to end their fight. Raditz disappeared before reappearing in front of Neiz and axe kicking him into the ground, instantly knocking him out with the force of his attack. Nappa then appeared behind Dore and grabbed him in a full nelson, flying high into the air before plummeting down to the ground to pilldrive Dore, again, knocking him out immediately. Salza couldn't believe how easily the other two were taken out. He created his Ki blade and attacked the two Saiyans, who easily dodged. After dodging Salza's attack, Raditz looked at Nappa and they both gave each other a nod. They then backed away before blasting Salza with a combined energy blast that overpowered Salza. When Salza fell, both Saiyans blasted each of the men, killing them. With their fight done, the two looked over at Goku, who was finishing up with Recoome.
"Alright! I think It's finally time to show you my best stuff." Recoome said as he charged his ultimate attack. "RECOOME...ULTRA...FIGHTING...BOMBER!" Before he could unleash the move, Goku rushed in and elbowed Recoome hard in his stomach. It was so strong that it destroyed the mountains and hills that were behind Recoome. Recoome then stumbled back a few steps before collapsing.
"Sorry, but you had an opening that just screamed 'attack', so I just...did!" Goku said, raising his hand in an apologetic gesture. Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Gohan, who were now healed thanks to the Senzu Beans, were completely stunned by Goku easily beating Recoome. Vegeta, meanwhile, was shaking with confusion and rage. How did not only Raditz the Runt and that useless Nappa defeat Cooler's men so easily, but how did Goku overpower Recoome to such an extent!? He could feel just how much stronger Raditz and Nappa had gotten, which was already mind blowing, as they had gotten stronger than even Vegeta, but Goku's power was different. Vegeta knew Goku wasn't showing all of his power, what with that Kaioken move he had. That and how Goku was purposely doing his best to conserve energy. Vegeta's eyes widened. Could Goku be... the legendary super saiyan? But that was just a myth! A children's fairytale! But if it's true... then this could change everything.
Jeice and Burter couldn't believe it. Recoome and Cooler's men were beaten by Saiyans who weren't even breaking a sweat. Jeice and Burter had to finish off these Saiyans before they could do anything else. They rushed at Goku, throwing punches at him, but none of them were having any effect. The others didn't know what was happening until Raditz pointed it out for them. Goku was dodging so fast and moving back to where he was that it looked like he wasn't moving. Goku got tired of dodging and began to fight back, once again easily over powering Jeice and Burter. Goku actually knocked Burter out, while Jeice, now being alone, flew away to get Captain Ginyu. "Kakarot! Why didn't you finish him off! He's going to bring back up! And not just that, you didn't kill any of your opponents!" Vegeta yelled.
"It shouldn't be a problem. These guys can't do any more harm, and us Saiyans alone are enough to handle whatever backup he might bring." Goku responded. Raditz and Nappa weren't fully comfortable or happy with letting the enemy get away or letting them live to fight another day, but if it wasn't for that sort of thing when they were the enemy, they wouldn't be alive, so they let Goku do what he wanted. Vegeta looked over to the fallen and unconscious bodies of Recoome and Burter before smiling. He quickly jumped and stomped on Burter's neck, killing him, before firing a lethal blast at Recoome. "What's your deal!? You know how to take mercy but can't seem to give it! I wanted to believe you would have changed." Goku yelled at Vegeta, to which Vegeta just scoffed.
"You're naivete makes me sick. Would they have taken your mercy!? If you had arrived 10 minutes late, they would have killed all of us including your son and friends! These fools are scum, trust me on that. At least Raditz and Nappa knew to take care of their foes before they became a problem. Letting Jeice go might cost you your life!"
"Much as I hate it, Vegeta is right." Raditz said. "They were dangerous, and the probability that they would have changed is low."
"You three may have gotten much stronger, but it's still not enough for Frieza or Cooler!" Vegeta added.
"So Frieza and Cooler are here..." Nappa said with a nervous look.
"King Kai and Orion told me about him. So even after all that training with 100x times gravity we did, we're still not strong enough for him!?"
"100x gravity!?" Everyone except the three Saiyans exclaimed. Vegeta now understood how they got so strong in such little time. If those three could do it, then surely he could too. Once he was off this planet, he would do intense training that would out do this!
"Vegeta is right. Frieza is several hundred times stronger than us." Nappa explained. "He blew up planet Vegeta, the Saiyan homeworld, along with all the Saiyans, remember? And Cooler is even worse than he is in terms of power. Unfortunately, the Saiyans weren't the only ones either of them gave that fate to."
"Besides, Frieza has his hands on the Dragon Balls. He's probably already used them to grant himself immortality." Vegeta said with a defeated tone.
"That's probably not the case." Chiaotzu said. "If they're like Earth's Dragon Balls, then the sky would have gone dark, and the dragon Shenron would have been summoned."
"Shen-what?" Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa were confused, never having heard or seen what was being said.
"That's right! Frieza probably doesn't know how to summon Shenron!" Goku cheered. "That means that we can still make our wishes!"
"Wait! There's 2 large power levels heading our way. Jeice must have brought Captain Ginyu with him. But where's Frieza and Cooler?" Vegeta pondered.
"I feel a massive power over there. That must be them." Raditz said while pointing in its general direction.
"Oh no! That's the direction of Guru's!" Gohan said worriedly.
"They're probably heading over there so he can learn how to use the Dragon Balls. Once they're done, they'll probably kill Guru!" Krillin said.
"If Guru dies, the Dragon Balls will disappear, just like with Kami!" Chiaotzu explained.
"Wh-What!?" Vegeta panicky said.
"That settles it. Krillin, Gohan, Chiaotzu, you three go find the Dragon Balls. Me, Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz will stop Frieza and Cooler." Goku explained.
"Got it. We'll need to go get the Dragon Radar from Bulma first." Krillin said before the three flew off. Goku and the other Saiyans began to fly towards where Frieza and Cooler were, but Vegeta began to have a different plan, since he knew they were probably going to be stopped by Ginyu and Jeice on their way to Frieza. By his estimates, Goku was about as strong as Ginyu, while Raditz and Nappa, who were equal in power, were slightly weaker than Goku. If he was lucky, they would take each other out. While they were distracted with each other, Vegeta could go off and get the Dragon Balls for himself so that he could get his wish. Vegeta smiled at this. Immortality would be his this time.
