So is Ginyu in Goku's body called Ginyu-Goku or Goku-Ginyu? Asking for a friend.

PS: Each scene spare Vegeta's bath starts at the same point in time. Ginyu and Jeice leave a little bit after Gohan and Krillin leave Bulma. Vegeta's in the shower as Gohan and Krillin are changing.

PPS: The Nail, Grand Elder, Dende, and Frieza stuff'll be next chapter. It won't be a long chapter, but there is stuff in the Nail-Frieza fight I'm changing. Big planning time.


Chapter 16: A New, Fantastic Point Of View. Which One is Goku?

Ginyu felt sweat begin to drip down his face, a mixture of Goku's immeasurable heat and the Captain's terror. Ginyu had no explanation for it, but he could simply tell how strong Goku had gotten with a scouter. The immense power that came from the Saiyan made Ginyu want to flee and not look back.

"Captain." Jeice said, snapping Ginyu from his daze, "What do we do?"

Goku knew his body couldn't take much more of the Kaioken. The amount of strain on his arm was putting too much on his body.

Damn it. If only I could pop my arm back without of those two trying to fight me. Goku thought.

"Jeice, put on my scouter." Ginyu ordered, "Quickly."

Jeice fumbled with the scouter trying to set it over his eye and focused it on Goku.

"180,000, Captain." Jeice said in a panic.

"What?!" Ginyu yelled, "That can't be possible. How can a Saiyan get this strong?!"

Goku felt as though his arm was going to rip right off.

"Not unless he's... he's a..." Ginyu stuttered, his voice filled with fear, "a Super Saiyan."

In that moment, Goku let out an agonizing scream, clutching at his arm. The aura began to disappear from around him as he fell to the ground.

Jeice kept the scouter trained on him, shocked at what he was seeing.

"His power level's dropping, Captain." He said, "Quite rapidly too."

Ginyu began to calm as he watched Goku smash into the ground with another scream, still clutching his arm. A smirk began to cross his face as he knew what to do. He descended down to the Saiyan and stood above him.

"Quite a trick you got there." Ginyu said as he began to gather his energy, "If it weren't for that dislocated joint, I'd say you could've beaten both of us easily. Shame you're never going to get that chance again."

Goku watched through a strained vision as Ginyu's hand began to glow a deep purple. His mind snapped awake as the Captain plunged his hand into his breast, purple blood oozing from the wound.

"Never thought I'd ever see him use that technique on mere Saiyan." Jeice commented.

With a pained expression, Ginyu through his hands to the side and faced directly at Goku.

"BODY CHANGE!" He yelled, a flash of light blasting towards Goku.

Goku felt like he was being crushed as the beam struck him. In a matter of seconds, it felt as though he was being torn from his body. For a moment, everything went dark. Next thing he knew, his chest was filled with a pain even worse than his arm.

His vision was shaky as he pulled his hand away, a wet feeling covering his hand. He noticed the blood first and then its color. As his vision cleared, he was shocked that his hand was now purple, the same color of the blood. He was even more shocked when he looked down to see himself laying beneath him. He quickly leaped backwards as he body rose to its feet.

"This could've gone better." Ginyu-Goku said, grabbing his arm. He pushed it back into place with a grunt and cracked his neck. "But boy does it feel wonderful!"

Goku-Ginyu came crashing to ground beside the two, clutching a his chest. The Captain approached him and placed his boot on his head.

"Just to add some insult to injury." He said. Ginyu-Goku slammed Goku-Ginyu's head to ground, knocking him unconscious.

"So how does the new body feel, Captain?" Jeice asked.

"Honestly," The Captain replied, "I don't feel all that powerful."

He yelled lowly as he charged up his energy. Jeice watched the scouter in shock as it got nowhere near Ginyu's power level in his own body.

"Uh, Captain," Jeice said, "I think we might be in a predicament."

"What are you going on about?" Ginyu-Goku asked.

"Well, the scouter's only reading about 23,000, sir." Jeice said.

"What?!" The Captain yelled, "That can't be right. That scouter must be busted."

"This is your scouter, sir." Jeice said, "Do remember it being any less than the best?"

"I suppose not." Ginyu-Goku said, "But none of that all matters. The only real threat I worry about is Vegeta and he ran off somewhere."

"Good point, Captain." Jeice said.

"Let's worry about this later, then." The Captain said, "Right now, lets move."

Ginyu-Goku took off for Frieza's ship, followed closely by Jeice.


Vegeta hovered not far from the make-shift base of the Frieza Force.

Perfect. He thought. All of them in one place. Right out in the open. This'll be a cake walk.

He descended down to the base and slowly approached it as the soldiers stood shocked at his arrival. None made a move as Vegeta walked past them.

The Saiyan made it to the ship's entrance when he heard two blasters charge up behind him.

"I'm going to need you to step away from the door, Vegeta." Sui said, his blaster aimed directly for the Saiyan's back.

"Slowly," Banan said, "Or we won't hesitate to shoot."

Vegeta smirked and disappeared from the sight, quickly reappearing behind the duo. He smashed their heads together and moved quickly as the rest of the soldiers began firing.

The Saiyan easily dodged past the blasts and returned fire, killing any soldier he hit instantly. It didn't talk long for Vegeta to wipe out the remaining soldiers and then turn his attention to the ship. He fired one blast through the hallway to kill anyone that had stayed aboard.

"Now that that's taken care of," Vegeta said as he boarded the ship, "I can finally get back to business."

Vegeta remarked at how well the soldiers had fixed up the ship given the state he had left it in.

"I've gotta hand it to them." He said, "They are efficient."

He searched the entirety of the ship before approaching Frieza's quarters.

"Damn it." Vegeta grumbled, "Where could he have hidden them?"

He threw apart the room before a thought dawned on him.

"The Earthlings." He said, "They'll be coming by with that radar of theirs. All I have to do is sit back while they find the Dragon Balls for me. I guess I should get cleaned up while I wait for them to get here."


Krillin and Gohan descended down towards the rock crevice where Bulma was hiding and found her waiting with her arms crossed.

"Where have you two been?!" She yelled, striking them across their heads, "Once again, you decided to run off for hours at a time without letting me know what was happening! Only this time, you ran off with the guy who has tried to kill us on multiple occasions!"

She smelled something in foul in the air which made her nose curl up.

"Dear Kami, what is that stench?!" She yelled, "What have you two been doing?"

She turned and grabbed her case of capsules and tossed one to the ground, revealing a large array of scented air sprays. She tossed a mask over her face and began searching the rack as Krillin stepped forward.

"Bulma, we don't have time for this." The monk said, "We need to get the Dragon Radar and get goi-"

Bulma whipped around with a can in each hand aimed at the duo. "Step back." She said, "You are not getting any closer until you get that stench off of you."

"Bulma, please." Krillin said, "We really don't have time for thi-"

A cloud of spray surrounded the duo causing them to start violently coughing. Krillin felt a bundle of clothes hit his chest and opened his eyes to see a fresh gi.

"Change out of those old clothes." Bulma said, packing the sprays back into a capsule, "The spray can't remove stains and odors from cloth or fabrics."

The two did as Bulma ordered, Krillin changing into the gi Bulma gave him while Gohan switched into his mother's gi.

"Oh you two look amazing." Bulma said, "Far better than you did in those old, torn up gi's."

"Thanks, Bulma," Gohan said, "but we really need to get going. Where's the Dragon Radar?"

"Over there on the table." She replied, "Why do you ask? Didn't you already summon Shenron?"

"No, not yet." Krillin said while Gohan grabbed the radar, "That Frieza jerk managed to swipe all seven from beneath us. Luckily, he hasn't figured out how to get them to work."

"Found them." Gohan said, staring down at the radar, "Let's go, Krillin."

"Alright." Krillin said, then turning to Bulma, "Just wait here for a little while longer. We'll send Goku to come get you while we clean up this mess."

"Goku's finally here?" Bulma asked as the duo took off into the sky.

Gohan gave a thumbs up before he and Krillin flew off following the Dragon Radar, leaving Bulma by herself again.

Bulma stared off where the two had just been and could faintly make out Goku's head in the clouds.

"So you finally made it, huh, Goku?" She said, sitting down on a rock, "You've grown up to be a really great guy."

She watched as the cloud blew away in the wind, leaving her a view of Namek's green skyline.

"Sure, Yamcha's a nice guy. I mean, he's always been there for me when I needed him. But it doesn't feel like we're truly in love." She sighed, "Maybe I missed my chance to be with the right guy."


Vegeta tucked his underarmor into his boot and tightened them to fit his foot. He ruffled the towel through his hair to dry it before stepping over to the mirror.

"That medicine Kakarot gave me is peculiar." He said, admiring his old wounds in the mirror, "Not only has it completely healed me and left no scar, but it's completely restored my energy."

He threw the towel over a drying rack and approached one of the lockers.

"Great." He said, picking up a piece of armor, "They only have the old model in my size."

He tossed the armor on as he heard two people land outside the ship.

"They're over here, Krillin." One of the voices said.

"Good." Vegeta said, "The Earthlings have made it."

He made his way out of the ship and hid behind one the supports.

"Now just hurry up and summon this 'Shenlong' so I can get rid of you and make my wish." He said quietly.


PPPS: Just wanna go over power level stuff. Back during the Gohan vs. Recoome fight I wrote in the concept of a Gohan-only power boost. It works similar to a rage boost, but I compare it more to an adrenaline rush. Reminder that it's only Gohan's.

It works like this: Gohan gets pushed to his limits and starts to strain his body. His body then goes "Nah B, this ain't how it works." and artificially/temporarily raises his limit so he won't strain himself. Once the fight is over, his body returns its natural state with no real gain.

This doesn't mean he can't get true power boosts though. The only thing is that the power boosts won't add to the "adrenaline raised" power level, but only to his normal power level.

This all being said I'll give a depiction of power levels based on the ones that are "canon."

Gohan(Start of Vs. Recoome): About 15,000
Gohan(Adrenaline Rush Vs. Recoome): About 20,000
Krillin(Vs. Recoome): About 15,000
Goku(In Ginyu's body): About 30,000 normally
Goku(Weakened Ginyu's body): 5,000-7,500

I'll give a couple whenever I need to do so.
