Frieza new short angleless form raised its finger and fired. Gohan was the only one who seemed to be able to follow the attack, but he wasn't fast enough to save the target Dende.
Dende didn't even see it coming. He was dead before he knew it. Afterwards a small dust cloud formed then disappeared showing the scene of horror. Dende was in a little crater when Gohan turned his head. He was smoking from his corpse having been cooked by the attack.
Everything when red for Gohan as he looked at Frieza who was smiling enjoying the suffering of others. He was in a rage attacked the monster. Chi-Chi and Trunks could barely follow the fight as Gohan had once again shown he was far above them both.
Nail looked distraught to Chi-Chi. She could easily understand why. He just became the last of the real Namekian people all that was left was Piccolo and she didn't even know if he knew about him.
Gohan from what she could see was a ball of rage but Frieza wasn't taking any damage the Tyrant's power was still not fully being expressed. He was playing with her son.
"Spirit bomb." Trunks and Nail looked at her. "The Spirit bomb is the only move that can stop Frieza now. It's going to take a lot longer though then the one that I used on that saiyan and this planet doesn't have the life force. I'll have to draw on other planets power."
Nail looking determined figured out what she meant and said "If you think it will work do it. The only thing left in the universe to me is to see that creature die. If you need time. I'll give it to you."
Trunks nodded his head in agreement "You have me too sensei!"
Chi-Chi took her stance as she raised her hands to the air to being drawing the energy for the Spirit bomb.
Meanwhile Gohan was being to lose steam as his punches and kicks were simply not touching Frieza. Frieza was dodging them with ease and Gohan was getting very tired.
"You know it's funny your entire species can be summed up by a greed monkey reaching up to get a fruit then losing their grip and breaking their skulls on the rocks below."
Frieza back handed Gohan a way then began to fire death beams at him. Gohan just barely managed to dodge the attacks only to find himself grabbed by the throat by Frieza. Frieza tightened his grip as Gohan gasped for air. Nail and Trunks attempted to come to Gohan aid but were easily dismissed away by Frieza's hand.
"It's funny monkey. I don't know why you people ever thought you could take me on. Not even at two percent power and I'm crushing your windpipe. And you're the strongest of your race"
Gohan was gasping for air feeling the darkness surround him. He gathered up all his power and his body seemed to explode with red energy allowing him to escape the Tyrants grasp.
Gohan hit the ground breathing heavily only to find that Frieza hadn't at all been hurt by that attack. Gohan said with his bloodshot eyes defiantly stated, "You haven't won yet."
"No. But the idea that you could continue is laughable." He pointed his finger at Gohan head and Gohan was powerless to move.
Frieza though instead of firing looked as not far in the distance the 'Liberty' exploded and Vegeta came flying over in his tattered NSE armor. The Saiyan King looked quite confident as he landed.
Frieza turned from Gohan to look at Vegeta. "Vegeta?" He smiled. "And here I thought that I wouldn't get a chance at some real revenge today. I should have remembered monkey's stick together. Tell me does he actually call you Prince and kiss your bottom like the others?"
Vegeta grinned as he sensed that Bulma was alive and saw that Trunks was okay "I found a people and a Kingdom to rule over. I'm a King now. Kakarrot is just another obstacle but he can wait. Its high time Frieza I show you that the Saiyan race is not to be trifled with. That you can't just kill my people and get away with it." He pointed to his face with his thumb. "You see Frieza you're not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior…" Frieza grimaced with rage. "You see I have gone beyond the average and have become legend. I am the Legendary Super Saiyan!"
Frieza looked at Vegeta as if he were a small child that had broken his window with a baseball. He looked annoyed but no longer looked frustrated. Frieza glibly asked "Are you done?"
Vegeta frustrated that Frieza didn't seem to be taking him seriously "Didn't you hear me Frieza I'm a SUPER SAIYAN!"
Frieza waved it away with his hand "Yes. Yes. You believe you're some magic monkey that can actually reach the top of the tree. I got it. Let me tell you something. It's a myth… a legend. You're just deluding yourself if you think your that. You might think that your smart just because you figured out that I killed your people but guess what? It wasn't that hard to figure out monkey. Compared to your fellows you might seem like a genius but that's a low bar you understand. Case and point this situation. You're going to die here. One of the last of your people. Just as dumb as the first of them. Your no legend. Your just yet another fool."
Vegeta in a rage powered up the planet shaking as a result. Chi-Chi and the other could feel his power. He was stronger than Frieza now.
Vegeta charged and punched the Tyrant away into an island then fired a Galick gun at the spot. The blast exploded in a massive mushroom cloud. Vegeta stood knowing that was not enough to have killed the tyrant.
Trunks took to cheering while the others were more unsure of the situation. Nail could sense that his man's heart was not pure. Chi-Chi began to quickly wonder if they hadn't traded one monster for another.
Gohan had heard what Frieza and Vegeta had been talking about. Somehow, he felt like he was half a part of that conversation. Something wasn't adding up Frieza was making it sound like Vegeta was a part of a different species but Vegeta had to be human like him, right?
The explosion as made Frieza's presence known. He looked rather scorched but otherwise undamaged. He flew back in front of Vegeta. Frieza sarcastically stated "You know that almost hurt."
"That is only a taste of my power."
Frieza smiled at that "I'm sure but its limited. Mine goes on forever."
"Prove it." Said quite sure of himself.
Frieza and Vegeta flew towards each other. Their fists meet, and the planet shook a little. The fight was barely followed by the spectators. The two broke off and the death beam clashed with the galick gun. A struggle that Vegeta won easily.
Frieza avoided get hit by the energy only to get Vegeta's fist dug into his gut. Vegeta then chopped him in the head sending Frieza to the ground with a yelp of pain. Frieza only got back up to get kicked into the air by Vegeta.
To all outward appearance Vegeta seemed to winning but Chi-Chi noticed that Frieza wasn't using any power. She realized the truth very quickly that the spirit bomb was their only real hope.
Vegeta went to punch Frieza again only to find the Frieza had caught the punch. Frieza swiped Vegeta in his face to the ground with his tail.
"Oh Vegeta. If only you had reminded loyal. The fact that I have to use this much of my power proves that you had some use."
Vegeta got to his feet and spit some blood onto the ground "I only pretended to be loyal. I knew the truth."
"And yet you killed for me. You help me. You really are like your father aren't you." He said smugly.
"You will pay for thinking that you could control me monster!"
Frieza shot back "I think not." In an instant he was over to Vegeta. This time however Frieza was much faster. Vegeta got a punch to his gut. That sent him stumbling backwards.
"You know I don't know how long it's been since I've used fifty percent of my full power you know Vegeta."
Vegeta in a rage looked at him. He knew what he felt, the Tyrant wasn't lying. He had been merely playing with him. It made him want to puke that yet again. He was just a source of amusement to the tyrant.
He remembered all the time he was made to stuffer to amuse this bastard, called monkey all the other dignities. He needed to make it so that no one else would suffer this. He looked behind Frieza though to see Chi-Chi and realized the ball of energy in her hands above her.
The sneaky human woman was gathering energy and tons of it. Vegeta grinned much to Frieza's surprise. Vegeta knew now that he was going to die here but he would take Frieza with him. The saiyan race was dead but it would go out in a blaze of glory with honor. It was quite good that there was an audience. The halfling and that human boy would see how a saiyan King ought to die, on his feet covered in blood.
Vegeta emboldened by the sense of doom lifted "Well come on then! You think I'm scared of you. I've thought you killed me a hundred times and counting. I've got nothing better to do, so try me and I'll show you the power of the King of the Saiyan's!" The plan was simple. Piss off Frieza and buy time for the attack.
Chi-Chi heard what he said and realized that he had saw the ball. She thought 'Wait is he actually sacrificing himself to make this work?'
Frieza reprisal for that were quick. He back hand him in the face grabbed his foot by his tail and flung him towards a rock nearby. Vegeta jumped up and fired at the tyrant that blew up not even putting a scratch on Frieza.
Frieza brushed it off the came over kicking Vegeta into the air. He then started to wail on him. Vegeta was quite powerless to do nothing more than try and block the punches.
The last of the King's defensive seem to break down with a knee to the gut from Frieza. Vegeta screamed out in pain and fell to the ground from the air. He was coughing up blood.
Trunks tried to move forward but was blocked by Nail.
Trunks shouted, "He saved my life!"
"So, don't waste it." That seemed to quiet Trunks who backed down.
Meanwhile, Gohan who was still on the field was watching all of this was getting angry again. But he was still exhausted and wounded and could do nothing for Vegeta. Chi-Chi knew that Vegeta couldn't last much longer but the attack wasn't ready yet.
Frieza picked the King up by his throat with his tail and proceeded to use him as a punching bag. Vegeta could do nothing in his own defense. He hacked up blood as he took the pain. Pain had been his old companion since the destruction of his home.
Vegeta's blood was coating his tail as Frieza said to him "You know Vegeta if you beg me right now, I'll make it end sooner."
Vegeta in response spat in his face with a lugie made of blood and spit. In a rage Frieza tightened his grip on with his tail started slamming Vegeta body back and forth onto the rocks. He was bleeding all over and barely able to keep his eyes open.
Frieza then abruptly stop and looked into Vegeta's eyes. "Where is the hopeless end. Why are you so happy? I'm about to pull you limbs off slowly. What is going on?"
"Fuck you. That's want's going on." Said while he looked over to Chi-Chi who had just mouth the words 'it's ready'.
Frieza turned from Vegeta then looked at Chi-Chi and noticed that there was a new sun in the sky being reflected by the water. Frieza was then blasted by Gohan as hard as he could making him lose grip of Vegeta who was then grabbed by Trunks and whisked away.
Frieza screamed out "You arrogant monkeys! Fine then I'll just blow up the planet and insta fix this stupidity." He took to the air and gather the power for his death ball when Chi-Chi could tell it was time.
She pulled it downward as Frieza realized his mistake. He tried to grab hold of it, but he was quickly pushed downward. He quickly hit the dirt and it blew up sending everyone flying. Nearly all of the islands in sight were soon gone after the explosion and Tsunami.
No one was visible. The massive crater started to very slowly began to be filled up with water do it its sheer size. The group soon emerged from the water that they had been submerged in. They were all panting heavily and coughing up water. Trunks was carrying the very wounded and bleeding Vegeta.
Vegeta was moaning in pain as he was placed on the ground. Trunks was looking to see what could be done. Chi-Chi came over and put her hand on Trunks shoulder. Chi-Chi "He's been worse off. Bulma will be able to fix him up."
Vegeta opened his eyes and looked at Trunks and Chi-Chi groaning he asked Trunks "Why did you help me?"
Trunks said with soft eyes "Because it was the right thing to do."
Vegeta sneered at that "That'll get you killed next time."
"Your welcome by the way." Vegeta turned his face but the Chi-Chi came down to him "Now oh King may I ask you what side you're on?"
Vegeta looked at her "You mean between you and Kakarrot."
"Yes, between freedom and him."
"I'm supposed to be lord of my people. Kakarrot is in my way. You will be able to trust me to that point but who knows afterwards."
Chi-Chi sighed at that "Well I guess that'll just have to do for now." She tapped her ear. "Get the ship ready."
Mai said meekly to her "Okay."
"What's going on…"
"Everyone dead it's just me, Bulma and Bill who's critical right now."
"Okay." She said deflated then got up and looked at Nail. "Come with us."
"This is my home the only thing that's left."
"Everyone gone and Kakarrot's coming. You will die in a losing battle by yourself on an empty planet. If you come with us, you could help us continue the fight. What could you do if you stay here? I get it. I had to leave my home twice now. But we can make them pay for taking it and get it back."
Nail closed his eyes and sighed. He looked around to his planet with a peaceful look on his face "Okay I'll…." As he spoke, his chest exploded as purple blood splashed everywhere.
Chi-Chi looked to see on a rock above them was Frieza. He was bloody and bruised but still very much breathing. He looked quite angry. Gohan screamed out in rage seeing Nail's lifeless corpse hit the ground.
"Now I'll kill them before you." He went to kill Trunks. He pointed his finger at him. Both Chi-Chi and Gohan were powerless to stop him. Frieza fired but Vegeta using the last of his strength pulled Trunks down and used his body as a shield. The beam hit his heart.
Vegeta croaked out before going limp "Just live brat."
Trunks asked him "WHY?
Vegeta smiled at him "Because I wanted to brat…" He stopped his heart had exploded. Now his dead body was merely leaning on Trunks.
Frieza then pointed his finger at Gohan but then heard a clapping that stopped him. Behind Chi-Chi landed Kakarrot the source of the clapping.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?"
Chi-Chi looked at him and wanted to puke. The situation had just gotten worse somehow.
Kakarrot grinned at her "Well how have you been honey?" He looked at Gohan. "See that you been busy keeping things from me but don't worry, I won't hold it against you." He looked at Frieza. "Well now Frieza I saw that you were about to destroy some of my property and I just couldn't abide that. Though it was funny to watch you kill Vegeta. I'll be sure to make sure his sacrifice was in vein later but first I must deal with you."
Chi-Chi grabbed Gohan and Trunks quickly then disappeared leaving Kakarrot and Frieza alone on the field of battle.
Meet the new boss next time.
