The battle raged on between the two Namek natives and the galactic tyrant. The force of each block, kick and punch exchanged by them destroyed the surrounding mountains and rocks. Nonoi jumped up and shot a blast towards the ground, creating a smokescreen that temporarily blinded Freeza. The tyrant shot beams from his eyes recklessly, missing Nonoi as she easily dodged the beams. Why is he shooting so recklessly?, Nonoi thought.
"You're spending too much time thinking, Nonoi!" Nail yelled as he dashed through the smokescreen and bulldozed Freeza, sending him flying through multiple rock formations. The Namekian warrior landed next to her, his breathing still rugged from his battle earlier with Freeza. "He can't sense our energy without that scanner thing on his eye. I destroyed it earlier after realizing he was using it to gauge my power and call my bluffs."
"I see.." Nonoi cracked her neck and spat at the ground. "We hold an advantage there, I guess. In raw power, he probably would destroy us if he actually went all out, but our advantage lies within his arrogance and cockiness."
Nail nodded his head and slipped back into his fighting stance.
"Seems we have to get creative as a duo in this fight. We're fighting a monster and he hasn't even tapped into half of his true power it seems." She said.
"So you noticed huh? I agree, we have to be more crafty with our attacks." He said, carefully stepping forward.
Nonoi slipped into a similar fighting stance, matching every step Nail took.
"Here he come-"
She was cutoff by the sudden eruption of power as Freeza emerged from the pile of rubble Nail cursed to fall on him. The difference between his power now and his power five minutes earlier was massive.
"Do you sense that? He's a monster." Nail whispered. He watched as the Freeza dusted his body and armor off, before turning to Nonoi, who watched the tyrant with vengeful eyes. She hadn't lost her resolve even after the difference in power becoming more evident and much larger.
"There's no time to get cold-feet. The Grand Elder is counting on us to stop this guy right here and now." Nonoi shuffled her feet a little. "Follow my lead…GO!" The duo jumped back into their assault, coordinated kicks and follow-up punches and blasts by Nail were able to throw the galactic emperor off as he tried to pick them apart one by one. Nail shot at the ground creating dirt-filled smokescreens that blinded Freeza. Nonoi realizing Nail had created an opening, she charged through the smoke, catching the tyrant off guard, and kneed him into the air.
"Nail!"
Nail was on it. He chased after Freeza, punching him in the face twice and elbowing him towards another set of rock formations. Nonoi quickly appeared above Freeza and delivered a dramatic double axe handle, sending him crashing towards the ground. Not letting the tyrant rest for even a second, the two quickly the followed the attack with a devastating combined blast.
"Mystic Flasher!" The combined yell of the duo echoed throughout the planet, their pride and beliefs leaking through their the voices as they blasted the tyrant.
Breathing heavily, Nonoi landed on a somewhat large rock, Nail landing besides her, and watched as the smoke from their attack cleared.
"Nonoi…that attack…might've done some damage." Nail rasped out, his hand on his chest as he felt he was on the verge of passing out.
"I doubt he could be unharmed from such an attack." Nonoi continued to eye down where Freeza crashed. "Here he comes again."
Freeza blasted away the rubble around him as he stood up and stared down Nonoi and Nail, disgust and anger clearly visible on his face. "Seems I might have to get a bit serious against you pests." He flexed his arms and popped off his armor, his power rising as he did so. Nonoi and Nail, not waiting or letting him finish, charged back at Freeza, but were pushed back by the immense force of his power. A screen of red surrounded the tyrant's body as he continued to power-up. "Go on and commend yourselves! Your teamwork has pushed me to use a form I haven't used since I was under the tutelage of my father!"
Nonoi held her arms up, blocking the rocks and rubble flying towards them as Freeza continued to power-up. "Form? He can transform?"
"That would make sense. His power seemed to be suppressed heavily, so I'm guessing separating them with forms was the method." Nail replied, taking off his scarf. "We can't reach him it seems, so we just have to wait and plan now."
The deafening screams by Freeza filled their ears. His torso began to bulge and swell disproportionate to the rest of his body. His arms and legs followed, causing him to grow much larger. His tail began to grow outwards in length, wrapping around his legs. The horns on his head grew as well, bending upwards at an angle. His screams became much deeper as his voice seemed to change as well and his neck extended and bulged outwards alongside his head. He began to pant heavily as the transformation finished, sweat dripping from his chin. He looked up at the duo and smiled.
"You're in for it now. Now my second form makes the one you are familiar with look as gentle as a sleeping kitten."
He flexed his hand, causing an explosion that reached the duo. They jumped away as rocks and dirt filled the air, shielding their eyes and face from the debris. When the sky cleared, Nonoi noticed the tyrant stood in the same spot, smirking to himself as they landed across from him.
"This will be fun." He licked his lips and dashed at the duo with extreme speeds but was narrowly dodged, his horns nicking Nonoi slightly as she dodged his attack. Her blood dripped from his horns as he floated in the air, his back facing towards them. "No, this won't do."
Turning his body towards them, a smirk still on his face and her blood still dripping from his horns, he crossed his arms. "Since youre clearly outmatched, I will give you both one-no two minutes to power up to maximum. I want you at your best." Freeza said, mocking them as he descend back down to the ground.
Nonoi looked at Nail, both questioning whether this was a trick to make them drop their guard. She faced the tyrant again, her eyes glaring daggers at him. "Very well. We will power up to our maximum."
Nonoi and Nail flexed their arms and began to yell, violet and yellow auras surrounding them as their power began to rise. Maximum? I can barely muster any more strength after that last attack, she thought. The duo's screams finally ended as they floated above the tyrant. Nonoi looked over to Nail, he was exhausted, even more so than her. His power barely rose, just like her own. As I thought…we don't have enough energy left…we've hit our limit moments ago with that combined attack.
"Are you done? Very well, we shall begin round two." Freeza said.
Nonoi gritted her teeth and began her assault once again, her fists were however lacking the needed fire to leave a significant strike on Freeza, who continued to block and dodge her attacks. Freeza laughed as he dodged her attacks, but descended into a mode of hysteria when Nail joined in. The galactic emperor dodged their attacks with ease, causing them to strike each other on occasion. In a swift motion, he wrapped his tail around Nonoi's waist and tossed her into Nail before blasting both into the ground. He followed up his attack, scooping up the female Saiyan and throwing her body into a cliff, successfully isolating the duo from each other.
Freeza smiled at Nonoi as she stood up, her body and clothing so damaged that her obi began to rip. Moving towards her menacingly, he shot at the ground in front of her causing a smoke screen and dashed quickly in front of her. "You see? I can do your little tricks too, little girl." He smacked her into the ground with his tail and stood above her with his index finger pointed at her face; a reddish pink beam lighting up in her face. She flinched as she awaited her fate, but she was suddenly pushed out of the way.
She gasped as she hit the ground and opened her eyes. Nail has taken the beam for her, his chest showing off the hole that Freeza shot through him.
"Why you!" Freeza angrily began to shoot more beams through the Namekian's body as punishment for pushing his original target out of the way. "You should have waited your turn, Namekian."
Nonoi stared in shock as the galactic tyrant triumphantly stood over Nail's body, tears falling down her dirty cheeks as she dashed towards Nail, only to be met with a slap by Freeza's tail.
"Oh? Are you crying?" Freeza laughed. His tail slapping the ground as he cackled at her pain. He trotted over to her, kicking her on the side and having her lay on her stomach. Placing his foot on her back, he laughed as she screamed out in pain when he applied pressure. "Your screams of agony is like music to my-" He stopped his sentence short when he noticed an unusual appendage poke out from her body that wasn't there earlier. "What's this?" He grabbed at it, causing her to groan in pain, and smiled when he finally recognized the body, he was too familiar with it of course. "A tail. Brown and furry like a typical Saiyan's…"
Freeza let go of the appendage and held out his index finger like he had before. "I'm losing my touch in genocide it seems. Another filthy Saiyan surviving…no wonder she was such a pest earlier." He smirked and charged up another finger beam, but stopped when he heard the laughter of the dying Namekian across from him and the female Saiyan.
Nail let out a chuckle, blood coughing up a-bit. "You truly are a fool. Your arrogance blinded you from our true objective during this battle."
"True objective?"
"We merely were distractions…or pests as you like to call us. Our Grand Elder has sent someone who knows the password to the Dragonballs and by now, they should be preparing to make their wish." As Nail said that, the skies of Namek turned dark signifying the summoning of the eternal dragon.
"Heh, like Nail said…we were just a distraction for you…you were blinded by your own arrogance. Even if we lose here…we've still won in the end" Nonoi rasped out. The galactic emperor whipped his head back at the female Saiyan and shot a beam through her arm, the immense pain knocking her out immediately.
"You Saiyans always talked too much!" Freeza scoffed at her and dashed off, leaving the near-dead Nail and the unconscious female Saiyan behind.
*END*
THIS CHAPTER WAS SHORTER, BUT I WANTED TO FOCUS ON NONOI AND NAIL SOLELY IN THIS CHAPTER BECAUSE I FEEL I NEGLECTED NONOI'S STORY TOO MUCH AND IVE FOCUSED TOO MUCH ON THE Z-FIGHTERS. I TRIED TO MAKE NONOI AND NAIL HAVE A DECENT FIGHT AGAINST FIRST FORM FREEZA, BUT OBVIOUSLY BECOME OUTMATCHED AGAINST FREEZA'S SECOND FORM. WAS THAT OKAY? ANYWAYS FAV, FOLLOW AND REVIEW. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS WELCOMED. BYE.
