Last chapter had a basic synopsis for my own story I'm going to be writing. I just want to know if I should do another one that has a bit more detail. And detail is timeline placement and main characters, but not villains. I'll just do a poll.
Chapter 20: A Hideous Transformation. Old Enemies Clash.
"But I'll give you a chance to live for a little while longer." Frieza said, "Just grant my wish for immortality, and I might give you a head start on running."
Vegeta dropped Krillin and turned towards Frieza, ready to fight.
"As if we'd give you that luxury." Vegeta said, "If anyone's going to have that granted, it's going to be me."
"And just what do you plan on doing with that, Vegeta?" Frieza asked, "Just what do you have to live forever for? You have no planet, nor do you have anyone to rule. If anything, death would be a blessing for you. You'd get to see your whole race once again."
"As if I'd want to see those fools again." Vegeta said, "Now just make the wish, Dende."
"Child, if you grant it for me, I'll let you wish back your race." Frieza said, "I'll give you anything you could ever ask for. You'd be a hero in my army. Now just make the wish for me."
"Dende, this thing has killed ninety percent of your race." Vegeta said, "Any self-respecting member of a species wouldn't turn to side of his race's murderer. Now make me immortal."
"You're one to talk, Vegeta." Frieza said, "I've killed five, maybe six Namekians during my entire stay here. You've slaughtered an entire village. Now grant my wish, child!"
"It's my wish, Dende!" Vegeta yelled.
"It's mine!" Frieza yelled back.
"No, it's mine!" Vegeta yelled.
"Mine!" Frieza yelled.
"MINE!" Vegeta yelled.
"STOP IT!" Dende yelled, tears filling his eyes.
As the echo of Dende's scream filled the air, another sound overcame the sky. A low booming sound echoed from the dragon, making it sound as though the sky itself was exploding. Porunga let out a booming, hollow scream of pain as light began to emit from his body. The scream dissipated as he exploded into the light, leaving nothing but the Dragon Balls in the air. One by one, they fell to the ground, each one turned to stone.
"What... What happened?" Vegeta asked.
"The Elder's dead." Krillin said, "It's all that could've happened."
"So... So what about my wish?" Vegeta asked.
"Your wish?" Frieza growled, "You mean my wish."
The emperor jumped down in front of the trio, his face contorted in anger.
"I could deal with you killing the Ginyu Force. Anybody who could be beaten by a monkey doesn't deserve a place in my army anyway." Frieza said, "But now my dreams of immortality have been shattered. Like a dust in the wind."
The rocks around Frieza began to rise into the air as his temper rose more and more, the veins in his head bulging out.
"Now, all of you are going to pay." Frieza said, his voice chillingly calm, "I'm going to enjoy squashing each one of you vile maggots. Starting with the prince of all court jesters."
"If you think I'm going to be defeated so easily, then you've gone delusional." Vegeta said.
"I'm delusional, Vegeta?" Frieza asked, "It seems you're so full of it you've forgotten exactly how terrifying I can be." Frieza crossed his arms and front of him and stared down the trio. "Allow me to refresh your memory."
He threw his arms to the side as he let out a vicious scream, the rocks floating around him exploding in all directions.
Krillin and Dende watched in horror as Frieza's energy began to skyrocket far above anything they could imagine. Vegeta hid his emotions behind a stony face, his body not moving an inch.
The aura around Frieza disappeared as he stood straight upwards while letting his body relax. "Do you truly believe you stand a chance now?" He asked.
"Oh, I know we can, Frieza." Vegeta said, "It's you who should be concerned. Right now, there are three others on this planet who could match you, Frieza. One of which has a hidden power not even he understands." He took a step towards Frieza and tightened his stance. "But they don't matter right now. This is between you and me, Frieza. And I've become the one thing you fear. I've become a Super Saiyan."
Frieza cocked his head and laughed condescendingly. "A Super Saiyan? You?" He laughed, "Vegeta, I know you're full of pride, but this is beyond even you. But I'll play along. Let's see where that bluffing gets you."
The ground below him exploded as he launched himself at Vegeta, his arm cocked back ready to punch the Saiyan into the ground.
Vegeta stopped Frieza's punch by grabbing his wrist, the Prince's face flooding with fear and strain. Frieza's face flooded with shock before he regained himself and punched out with his other hand. Vegeta caught this attack, too, stopping Frieza in his tracks.
"What?!" Frieza yelled in shock.
A clash of auras surrounded the two as they sank into the ground, the rock beneath beneath exploding from the pressure. Frieza's scouter began beeping rapidly as Vegeta's energy overcame his own, the scouter eventually exploding in his face. Frieza was forced to jump away as the pressure of Vegeta's energy became too much for him to handle, much to his surprise.
Krillin noticed the difference in the aura's he had witnessed. Frieza's energy was extremely evil and felt very restrained, causing a feeling of an animal trying to escape a cage. Gohan's energy had been very animalistic and vengeful, which whipped his hair and clothes violently. Vegeta's energy was calm and mixed with arrogance and pride, which caused his hair to float casually upwards.
"You surprise me, Vegeta." Frieza said, "I never would have thought a monkey like you would be able to overwhelm me. And never would have forced to me to transform."
"What?" Krillin asked, "Transform?"
"Freaks of nature change their shape when they want, whether for camouflage or to prevent energy waster." Vegeta said, "Just look at Zarbon. How could something as hideous as him blend into a crowd."
"Well, Vegeta, my reasons differ quite a bit." Frieza said, "Simply, I have so energy that I can't control it all myself. Now pay attention. You'll only get to see this once."
Frieza's armor exploded from his chest, a biological replacement in its place.
"So that's your transformation. Growing some armor?" Vegeta scoffed.
Frieza smirked and screamed in pain. His torso began to bulge and swell disproportionate to the rest of him. His arms and legs soon followed, extending to correctly carry his weight. His tail began to grow outwards in length, wrapping around his feet. His voice grew deeper as his neck extended and bulged alongside his head. The horns on his head grew as well while bending upwards at an angle.
Frieza panted heavily as the transformation finished, sweat dripping from his face. He looked up at the trio and smiled.
"Where are my manners?" He asked, "It's almost as if I'm a different person entirely. I'm just on such a different level than before. And new acquaintances should greet each other with a hello."
He threw his hand into the air, causing an explosion at the trio's feet. Everyone jumped away as rocks and dirt filled the air, covering their vision. When the sky cleared, Dende noticed Krillin had a large gash along his head, blood spewing from the wound.
"You're hurt." He said, reaching for Krillin.
"I'll be fine. Some rocks just cut me up." Krillin said, "Just a reminder to keep your guard up."
Frieza stared up at the trio, a vicious look in his eyes. "Let that serve as an introduction to my new power." He said, "And now, I'm going to pick you off one by one. Starting with one I should've dealt with a long time ago."
Frieza charged like a bull straight for Dende, who was paralyzed in fear at the giant. Vegeta watched with a shocked expression as Krillin raced forward and pushed Dende out of Frieza's path, taking the horn for himself.
"YOU IDIOT!" Vegeta yelled.
Blood dripped from the corner of Krillin's mouth, his face and eyes draining of color. "What a useless attempt to prolong your friend's life." Frieza said, throwing Krillin from his horn.
Dende raced after Krillin as he feel into the lake. Frieza went to chase after the duo but was stopped by Vegeta, who stood in his way.
"As much as I want to kill those two, I'm not too accepting of you doing it for me." He said.
"You've got nerve, Vegeta." Frieza said, "You know what? As a little gift, I'll give you a free shot. Then I'll put you back in your place."
Vegeta smirked as Frieza extended his arms. The Saiyan brought his arm back as though going to hit him with all he had and punched into Frieza's chest. The attack had little effect on Frieza, who laughed at the attempt.
"You see, Vegeta, you don't stand a chan-" He started.
Vegeta took a chance and planted his heel into the top of Frieza's head, knocking him towards the ground.
"Don't let your guard down, Frieza!" The Saiyan yelled as he fired off a heavy volley of ki blasts at the tyrant.
Dende tossed Krillin out of the water and jumped after him as debris began flying towards them.
Vegeta knew that would have little effect on Frieza, so he stayed on guard as the dust began to clear where Frieza had landed. Before the dust could fully clear, Frieza got behind Vegeta and grabbed him at the hair.
"Great idea, Vegeta." He said, "Try and get your opponent off guard. I can honestly say that hurt a little bit. Now allow me to take my turn."
Frieza slammed his knee into Vegeta's back cracking his spine. The tyrant threw Vegeta to the ground and landed on top of him.
"It's been fun, Vegeta." Frieza said while putting pressure onto Vegeta's chest, "But I think it's time I finally squash this bug."
The tyrant noticed a flash of light off to the side and leaped into the air, only resulting in the end of his tail getting cut off.
An angered Frieza stared at where the attack had come from and was shocked to find Krillin completely well, his hand in the air.
"DESTRUCTO DISK!" Krillin yelled, a yellow energy circling above his hand. He fired off a volley of disks at Frieza, who dodged between each one, with one managing to clip his horns.
"Why you little!" Frieza yelled as Krillin took off opposite of the tyrant. Frieza chased after him, leaving time for Dende to race over to Vegeta.
"Just relax." Dende said, a white light forming at his hands.
The pain in Vegeta's back began to disappear and he was soon able to move again. He sat up and stared at Dende.
"Where's the runt?" Vegeta asked, "Don't tell me he tried fighting Frieza."
Krillin came dashing through the air and landed beside the duo, huffing and panting. "I think I lost him." He panted.
Frieza appeared in the air above them, his eyes bloodshot. "Good." He growled, "You're all in one place. This'll make things so much easier."
He threw his finger into the air and began forming a purple ball of energy at its tip, the ball growing bigger and bigger.
"Goodbye to all of you!" Frieza screamed as he threw the ball at the trio.
The three watched in horror as the ball got closer and closer to them. Before anything could happen, Vegeta watched as a white cloak fluttered in his face. Piccolo stood in front of them, his arms outstretched, ready to catch the ball. As the ball neared, the Namekian caught it his hands and began to bring them together. He was eventually able to close his hands entirely, the ball of energy dissipating between his hands. The trio stared up at Piccolo as electricity began to lightly flash over his body and cloak.
"So." He said, "Waiting long?"
