Begin the Assault! Frieza's Fury!

Despite all the training Zamasu had done in the past few weeks, he knows he still isn't strong enough to handle Frieza. He knows about Frieza's transformation from Chronoa-sama and none of them are strong enough to handle him on their own. They'll have to work together to complete this task.

With that in mind, Zamasu decides to use his knowledge to good use. The kai-saiyan turns his gaze to Krillin and Gohan and barks, "Grab the Dragon Balls! Hurry!" Startled by the sudden sharpness to Zamasu's tone, the two earthlings move quickly toward the currently unguarded Dragon Balls.

Frieza, noticing this, frowns slightly deeper. "I don't think so." The tyrant raises a finger and swiftly shoots a death beam toward Krillin. However, a blur intercepts the beam and slaps it to the side. Goku stares into Frieza's cold gaze, neither fighters willing to show even the slightest bit of weakness.

Then, out of nowhere, Frieza's eyes widen in realization and satisfaction. "Ah, I remember now! You look similar to that monkey that stood up to me years ago! Bardock, I think his name was."

The Z-Fighters watch with rising confusion as Frieza seems to think about this. "Yes, the resemblance is uncanny. It's almost as if I am staring him down once more." Frieza's eyes narrow rapidly. "No. Are you his descendent?"

Goku sweat drops a bit, his fighting form faltering in his confusion. "Can we talk about my family at a different time?!"

This makes Frieza chuckle, the hand raised to his lip lowering to behind his back. "Quite right! How rude of me to try and theorize during a coming battle! It would remove the fun from the massacre if I did."

An evil glint sparks in Frieza's eyes, and for some reason, Zamasu feels a building rage in his chest. Not fear or uncertainty like most, but anger. For what, Zamasu can't fathom, but he has a building suspicion.

Meanwhile, Gohan and Krillin manage to bring the Dragon Balls back to the group. This snaps Zamasu out of his thoughts and he turns around. He offers them a hand and raises two fingers to his forehead. "Make sure all the balls are touching, then grab my hand."

"I said no!"

Another death beam is deflected, something that annoys Frieza as he sees the three warriors, and his precious Dragon Balls, vanish in an instant. The tyrant turns and glares at Goku with absolute hatred. "I lost my Dragon Balls. Now I am angry. I am furious, even." His eyes narrow dangerously. "Please survive this. I need to vent."

On the other side of Namek, the three departed warriors reappear, right next to a dying Namekian. Nail looks at them in surprise, but Zamasu heeds him no mind. Instead, the kai-saiyan turns to Gohan and Krillin and says, "Have this Namekian help summon the Dragon. Then, use the wishes to recover this Namekian's strength, revive Piccolo, and then teleport everyone but myself, Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza to Earth. This will allow us to fight the tyrant here and now without interference. If we all retreat, Frieza can follow."

The two earthlings nod in understanding. If Zamasu thinks this is a good plan, they'll follow. Zamasu then turns to Nail and says, "I understand you have met these two?" Nail gives a weak nod, still bleeding from his chest… "Well, please summon the dragon and do as requested, in order. Now, I have to return to the fight." With that final declaration, the hybrid disappears as Nail begins saying something in Namekian.

Zamasu returns mere moments after he leaves initially, his plan set in motion. With Frieza occupied and the earthlings using the Dragon Balls, there will be nothing left to stop them from taking on the tyrant.

Frieza glances over to Zamasu as he reappears, his eyes narrowing in anger. "You. You're the one with the strange ability." Frieza raises his finger once more. "You need to go."

Another beam is fired, but once again, Goku deflects the blast. However, during the moment of distraction, Zamasu blurs past the earth-raised saiyan. Frieza's eyes widen in surprise as Zamasu seems to appear right in front of the tyrant. The kai sends a heavy blow to Frieza's stomach, which makes the emperor keel over in pain.

As Frieza is sent flying backward from the following energy blast and Goku flies after the tyrant, Zamasu turns to Vegeta. "What the hell are you doing?! Get moving!" With that, Zamasu flies after Goku and Frieza. Vegeta tsks, then follows after them as well.

When Frieza is able to orient himself once more, he barely has time to react as Goku comes flying in. Frieza dodges the initial blow but then has to refocus as Zamasu follows. Frieza growls, then yells and sends a punch at the same time as Zamasu.

*BOOM*

A shockwave of epic proportions echoes across the planet. Tyrant and Kai struggle against each other for supremacy, neither fighter wanting to back down. Zamasu growls, then lifts his hand. His ki blade ignites with a fury, descending upon the evil emperor.

Frieza's eyes widen in shock and he quickly backs away, not willing to test his body's endurance against a blade of energy. However, Frieza can't even speak as Vegeta flies in out of nowhere and slams his fist against Frieza's face.

The tyrant is sent flying backward as the three saiyans hover side-by-side, waiting for Frieza's next move. The emperor rights himself midair, his face set in a scowl, and a vein showing on his forehead. Then, he smirks.

"Hahaha! Bravo! That was certainly a good display of power and teamwork! Surprising, coming from you Vegeta!" The prince growls angrily. "However, I think three against one is a bit unfair for little old me. Why don't I even the odds?"

Frieza suddenly drops into a horse stance and begins powering up, energy building around himself. The tyrant grits his teeth in exertion, his body morphing and changing to hold the influx of power.

Goku's eyes widen when he realizes what's going on, but Zamasu holds him back. When Goku turns, confused, Zamasu says, "Who knows what will happen if we interrupt a transformation like Frieza's? The backlash could kill us all." Nodding in understanding, Goku simply waits, his heart racing from uncertainty and excitement.

Then, as suddenly as the screaming began, it stopped. What stood in Frieza's place is now a hulking behemoth of an alien, Frieza's face set upon the titan's head. Frieza smirks, feeling his power flow and shift, the intensity almost too much to bear for most people. "Well, this is my second form. I think this'll give myself a better chance, no?"

With that, Frieza launches himself at the fighters. The three saiyans scatter, all ready to take the empowered threat on. Frieza looks between the saiyans for a split second, then rushes at Vegeta, recognizing him as the weak link in this group.

The prince growls and meets Frieza head-on. Vegeta throws a punch, the blow knocking Freiza's head back. However, Frieza quickly recovers, slamming his fist into Vegeta's stomach. The prince gags in pain, grabbing his stomach. Then, Frieza sends a hammer-fist onto Vegeta's back, sending the saiyan straight into the ground.

A boot connects with Frieza's face, the tyrant spiraling backwards from the sudden impact. Zamasu appears behind Frieza and attempts to kick him up higher in the air. However, Frieza manages to turn himself midair and angles his head so that his horns will penetrate Zamasu's chest. Realizing the danger, Zamasu forgoes his plan and dodges the blow.

Frieza's power spikes as he turns and charges at Zamasu. The kai-saiyan's eyes widen in shock and he tries to dodge, but he is unable to get out of the way in time. Frieza grabs him by the throat and rockets toward the ground. The tyrant drags Zamasu across the hard earth, getting a sick satisfaction from the kai's grunts of pain.

Another kick sends Frieza flying, freeing Zamasu from his grip. Vegeta, taking this time to prepare an attack, aims at Frieza's launched form. With a mighty scream of "GALICK GUN! FIRE!", a massive beam of purple energy rockets forward, faster than any of them can fly. The blast engulfs the tyrant completely, Frieza's scream of pain being drowned out by the roaring energy of the Galick Gun.

Vegeta pants in exertion, Zamasu and Goku landing next to him. The three look at the empty space in the air with caution, Goku saying, "Did that do it?"

The prince shakes his head. "No way. Frieza's much stronger than that. Damn it, where is he?"

*shlck*

A sickening squelch is heard and Vegeta's eyes go wide in pain and shock. Zamasu and Goku turn rapidly, their eyes wide as they register Frieza standing behind them, his horn in Vegeta's stomach.

The tyrant stands up straight, Vegeta still impaled, which causes the prince to gasp in agony. Frieza smirks in satisfaction, blood flowing down his head and around his face. "Well, that was a good attempt, but I am not impressed! One of you went down already!"

Frieza throws Vegeta off to the side, the saiyan grunting in pain as his wound flares up and impacts the ground. Zamasu and Goku step back slightly, both of them cautious.

Then, the sky erupts in black clouds. The two standing saiyans and Frieza look around in confusion. Then, realization shows on Goku's face. "The Dragon Balls! They did it!"

Frieza turns to Goku in surprise and anger. "What?! They actually managed to use them?! How?!"

This makes Zamasu smirk in satisfaction. "As if we'd tell you something like that. You've lost, Frieza. Give up."

Frieza stares at the kai for a moment longer. Then, he growls and turns around, rocketing across the planet at speeds far greater than before. Goku and Zamasu's eyes widen in surprise, but the kai-hybrid quickly regains his composure. Turning to Goku, Zamasu orders, "Give Vegeta a senzu! I'll stop Frieza from reaching the dragon!" Goku gives a nod and turns as Zamasu's Instant Transmission echoes through the air.

Frieza growls loudly as he flies as fast as he can toward the other side of the planet, searching for the legendary dragon that was supposed to come from the dragon balls. Then, out of nowhere, he feels a kick on his side. The tyrant slams into the unforgiving ground, Zamasu looking down in satisfaction.

The rubble moves and Frieza pulls himself from the ground, looking up at who kicked him down. Frieza smirks as he sees only one fighter. "Well now, what a pleasant surprise! With one of you here by yourself, I can take you down without as much hassle!"

Zamasu frowns, his aura igniting in preparation for the fight. "If you think you can take me on, you are sadly mistaken. I am far above your current power level."

This makes Frieza frown, his mind actually considering the thought. "Hm. I wouldn't be surprised based on what I've seen. Very well then, I'll honor you by giving you a look at my third form!"

Before Zamasu can even react, Frieza begins powering up. Zamasu tsks in annoyance and concern, already too late to stop the transformation before it can start. The kai hovers silently, left only to watch and prepare.

It only takes a moment for Frieza's transformation to complete. Zamasu's lip curls in disgust at Frieza's horrific form. The elongated head, lizard-like face, and spiky protrusions all over his body makes Frieza look less intimidating and more… disturbing.

Frieza laughs, his deep voice clashing with the ridiculous appearance. "I hope you enjoy my third form. It's been a while since I could use it!"

Then, without warning, Frieza begins his assault. His speed increased exponentially because of the transformation, and as such, Zamasu is taken completely off guard by the attack. Zamasu only has time to widen his eyes before he is sent rocketing across the landscape, Frieza easily following him.

Zamasu cracks an eye open, his teeth grinding together from the pain. He notices a white blur fly past and is easily able to deduce what is happening. Zamasu delves deep into his energy pools, grasping his unlocked base power, and flares his aura.

Frieza, ready for another blow on the kai-saiyan, is taken back by the sudden explosion of purple energy from Zamasu. Zamasu rights himself midair and launches at Frieza with speeds far greater than before, his blade shimmering in the air and poised to strike. The emperor notices this and moves out of the way, still faster than what Zamasu can do currently.

The kai takes a sharp turn and launches at Frieza, falling into a rhythm of rapid slashes and jabs to try and cut up or impale the tyrant. Frieza moves through them with ease, but not without concern, as a single mishap can end up with him on the wrong side of the blade.

Growing tired of this dangerous game, Frieza blurs forward during a lull in the attack and slams a knee against Zamasu's forehead. The hybrid's head snaps backward, his eyes wide and mouth open in a silent gasp of pain. The blade disintegrates and Frieza takes no time in doing what he does best. Inflicting excruciating pain.

A loud, ugly snap resounds through the air and Zamasu screams in pain as he feels his right hand's wrist shatter. Frieza lowers his leg, a malicious smirk on his face as he sees his greatest opponent so far writhing in pain. "That should get rid of that pesky blade of yours! Now then, let's finish this!"

Zamasu grits his teeth and powers through the pain, knowing exactly what he must do to survive. Taking off his outer gi and wrapping it in a makeshift sling around his right arm, Zamasu begins to power up. Frieza watches, curious, as Zamasu's muscles bulge slightly. Zamasu's eyes grow wide in exertion, then a mighty roar echoes across the planet.

"KAIOKEN x10!"

The planet bathes in red as the Kaioken unleashes its full glory upon the world. Frieza only has time to widen his eyes in surprise before a force ten times greater than before barrels into his chest. Frieza feels the air leave his lungs and he is sent flying backward, only for Zamasu's glowing, red-caped form to intercept him and send him higher into the air.

This continues for mere moments, Frieza reduced to nothing more than a pinball from Zamasu's desperation attack. Zamasu appears behind Frieza one last time, ready to slam him into the ground, when Frieza screams, "ENOUGH!"

A blast of energy erupts from the tyrant, pushing Zamasu back from his glowing form through the sheer force of his energy. A quiet zip accompanies Goku and Vegeta's sudden arrival, both of them healed up to full.

Goku feels the immense power and looks at Frieza, his eyes wide. "What is going on?!"

Zamasu, dispelling his Kaioken so he doesn't strain his muscles anymore, and yells over the wind, "I think Frieza is transforming again! I didn't think you could do that while getting beaten!"

Vegeta tsks as he watches Frieza's large form compact, slowly getting smaller. "I've heard it's possible for a person to accept the pain and focus solely on the transformation! It's quite a cunning tactic in practice!"

Zamasu growls in irritation, his wrist throbbing in pain. "Yes, I can see that!" The kai gratefully accepts a senzu from Goku when the kind-hearted warrior notices the sling.

The energy begins to die down in amounts, but not in intensity. The three fully healed saiyans watch with caution as Frieza's body is once more shown.

Pure, pristine white covers Frieza's main body, various segments shining in the light with a deep purple. Frieza's hands are open, palms forward, his arms stretched down to give him an almost regal look. Frieza's malevolent red eyes stare at the saiyans with reserved fury and hatred. Then, he speaks.

"Behold, monkeys, my final form! Consider this an honor, as no one has ever seen me in this state before!" Frieza's mouth twists up into a wicked smirk. "Do be careful though! My power is almost too great for me to handle, and I might not hold back!"

Frieza's aura flares as a pulsating vein appears on his forehead. "Come, and meet your maker!" Purple flares brightly as the three saiyans charge forward. The final showdown for Namek has begun.

The book begins to close, stops, then closes fully. Chronoa's eyes are wide, her mouth set in a thin line. "This is... very fast. Almost too fast. The battle is going to be intense!"

Chronoa grins and waves toward Trunks. "Hey, Trunks! I heard Spectre isn't going to appear unless it is a filler chapter! You're now the official news giver!"

Said time traveler slumps into a chair with a resigned sigh. "I guess so..." The hybrid saiyan picks up a piece of paper and begins reading it. "Um, let's see... The author is still working on his college work, but he had issues with his laptop in that it stopped working. He needs to get another one and most likely won't be able to work on it that much when he is at the college campus. It won't reduce the upload times, but it is annoying. On a side note, he says that he has a VERY special surprise next chapter, with emphasis on the 'very'. Ok, that's all."

Chronoa smiles gratefully. "Thanks, Trunks." The Supreme Kai of Time grins widely and waves. "Please leave a review, we always love reading them! Thanks for reading!"
