After all this time, I finally released the new chapter! It was a very hard task, and I had a lot of tiny helpers to help me, but I think you'll find the climax of this battle very enjoyable. So here it is, Chapter 15!
The earth bucked and rocked in the fury of Frieza's spermicidal energy wave. Psykos quickly put up a psychic barrier to protect all of the spectating monsters from the black turmoil of smoke rising, engulfing the surrounding valley in a flurry of dark ash and debris.
All the while, Frieza surveyed the damage from up above. The emperor had to admit, if he had to rely solely on his physical attacks, he probably would have lost. His ability to multiply was something he had never encountered on any planet before. One could call his ability exceptional.
Frieza perched down from his place high up in the sky, and let out another hum or surprise. The Black Sperm army was bleeding black blood, or what remained of the army. More than half of the army had vanished off the face of the planet, and almost all of the remaining army appeared battered and broken, on the brink of death or already passed out dead on the ground. Only about 5% of the army had been able to escape the base of the explosion unscathed.
"Master Orochi, shouldn't we do something?" said Psykos with a voice that almost edged on the surface of concern for her fellow associate.
The monster king shook his head. "No. He will receive no support from any one of you. This is the price he pays for electing himself to be the first to battle. Is that understood?"
"Yes, King Orochi!"
"Besides, Black Sperm hasn't displayed the full depths of his strength just yet…"
"I must say you actually managed to impress me." Frieza casually floated back down into the crater formed from his energy attack. "If you were fighting any normal opponent, you would have easily been able to defeat them with your sheer numbers. But I am not a normal opponent." Lord Frieza nonchalantly began walking toward the remaining Black Sperm's. "I am Lord Frieza, your ruler, your jailer, and your imminent death. Do you finally understand that?"
"Damn it!" Black Sperm was out of options. There was absolutely no way he was going to let himself be beaten by this tiny lizard in front of the top members of the Monster Association and King Orochi himself. He didn't have a choice; he was going to have to go all out.
"Let's see how you deal with this!" The Black Sperm army of a few hundred separated into several thousand more sperm copies. "A KAMIKAZI ATTACK WITH TEN THOUSAND OF "ME"!"
"This again? Must you simply go out of your way to pester me like this again?" Frieza sighed. The Black Sperm's sprinted out in all different directions, attempting to catch Frieza off guard and confuse him with the multiple directions they were travelling at. But, quite unexpectedly, Frieza raised both of his hands up into the air. Then, a flurry of red beams came spewing out of Frieza's fingers. Frieza could easily see the copies movements, and every death beam he fired was aimed precisely at a Black Sperm. The army of Black Sperm's began dropping like flies, unable to defend themselves against Frieza's death beams. In less than a minute, all ten thousand Black Sperm's were lying dead on the ground. Well, all but one black sperm, who was standing alone in the center of the crater. "And like that, only one black sperm remains." Frieza lifted his finger toward the sole copy, the red energy growing at the tip of his finger.
"Oh? I think you missed one."
"What?" Black Sperm pointed behind Frieza. Frieza turned around and saw a seemingly limitless number of Black Sperms were merging together.
"You see Frieza, in order for the birth of one life form to be possible, countless others have to be sacrificed. Once two cells merge, they can no longer separate, and within that body, 10 trillion copies of me are struggling to remain." Did Frieza hear him correctly? Ten trillion copies? But then, tears suddenly began filling Black Sperm's eyes, greatly perplexing Frieza.
Black Sperm answered the question in Frieza's mind before he even had a chance to ask. "Right now, my heart is filled with the deepest sadness. 9 trillion, 999 billion, 999 million, 999 thousand, 999 of me are disappearing into nothingness." Black Sperm wiped the tears out of his eyes and forced himself to crack a smile. "On the other hand, my heart is filled with nothing but sheer ecstasy. The 10 trillion cells are merging. They're fighting each other over who gets to be the dominant sperm… For my true self makes its debut once again."
The mob of black sperms began to take shape. A bright golden light burst from the new form, as wind whipped around him. The bright light dimmed, and from it, was a new warrior, standing tall and supremely confident.
"Golden Sperm... is born with a blast!" The combined sperm form was now around 7 feet in height. His entire body shimmered with a shiny gold glow. Unlike the smaller Black Sperm, Golden Sperm was much more muscular, with rock-hard abs, and rippling muscles all over his body that made him appear more human.
"I see. So that little Kamikaze attack was simply a distraction to allow you to form this new body. Very well then. Come at me!"
Golden Sperm snorted. "If you insist." Golden Sperm flew at him at speeds much faster than as an individual black sperm. Frieza's eyes widened in surprise; Golden Sperm's fist collided with the space emperor's face before he had time to react, sending him flying. Golden Sperm then appeared behind Frieza and kicked him hard in the back, propelling him straight into the ground. Before Frieza had a chance to get back up, Golden Sperm came ramming at him with his special combo attack.
Golden Sperm knew this was his only chance; he had caught him off guard, and he wasn't going to waste this opportunistic moment. So, using all the energy he had, Golden Sperm utilized his shape shifting powers to increase the size of his hands, and then prepared his ultimate move.
"Golden Hell Force Strike!"
From Golden Sperm came a lethal volley of blows, sending Frieza even further and further into the ground. "Lets see you walk away from this!" This devastating attack continued on for what seemed like hours as Golden Sperm poured all of his rage into this one single attack. He would make sure the Devil of Frost never walked again.
But eventually, Golden Sperm's lethal attacks began to slow down as his breathing became more labored. He then wiped the sweat off of his forehead once his attacks came to a complete stop.
Meanwhile, the other Black Sperm copy watched his new duplicate with absolute amazement. "Awesome! The 10 trillion merge of me appears again! I'm betting we don't even need Orochi's help."
"Of course we don't. You, the remaining 1 trillion of "me", let me absorb you too."
"Huh? There's no need to combine. You already won; combining doesn't make any sense."
"I didn't say combine, I said absorb. With me around, you lost your reason of existence. Besides, the one trillion cells could boost my power, so stop complaining and get in here."
"Hey asshole!" Black Sperm always hated this drawback; the more cells that merged, the more pompous and arrogant the merged creation became. "Don't get too cocky. You might be more powerful, but we're still all in the same boat."
"Yes, you're both on a boat headed straight to hell."
The two sperm copies looked back and gasped. Frieza had just emerged from the rubble and was dusting himself off with a blank face, as if Golden Sperm's attack wasn't more than a minor spat. "You gained quite a power up with that transformation. But I have a little secret to tell you: I've only been fighting you with around a fifth of my maximum power. I had to power up to around 60% to make sure I wouldn't get any sore muscles."
More gasps. "20%? No, that can't be right!" said Black Sperm, fear laced into his voice as he spoke.
"Oh, but it is. And Golden Sperm, now that you've so generously shown me yours, let me show you mine."
Frieza yelled, turning his eyes to the ground as he did so, and a blue aura surged from Frieza's body. His entire body pulsed with energy, causing the ground to shake just as it had with Nappa. A tornado of energy swirled all around Frieza, and instead of pebbles rising from the ground, large cobbles floated several feet into the air, all around Frieza. The two Sperm clones lost their footing as the small earthquakes shook them around like rag dolls.
Once Frieza stopped yelling, he craned his head up from the ground and stared straight into Golden Sperm's eyes. "Can you feel it? My overwhelming power? It's weight? Its… girth?"
Golden Sperm was speechless. The way he shook the Earth by simply powering up his energy, the way he walked away from his ultimate attack without a scratch on him, the tone of superiority in his voice, that maniacal grin, it rendered him immobile. Frieza's grin widened when he saw Golden Sperm's confident face waver at the sight of Frieza's true power. Wanting to waste no more time, Frieza flew toward Golden Sperm with lightning fast speed and whipped Golden Sperm's face with his tail. Then, gathering all of the energy to his fist, Frieza craned his fist back, than hurled a strong right punch straight into Golden Sperm's stomach. The force from the blow created shockwaves that managed to create yet another large hole in the side of the already large crater behind Golden Sperm.
Golden Sperm let out a painful yelp, falling to his knees as he felt his stomach being churned and pounded into golden butter. That punch felt almost five, maybe eight times harder than any of his previous punches. While there wasn't an actual hole in his stomach, there might as well have been, because both would have felt equally painful. Even with his enhanced power, Golden Sperm couldn't even come close to matching this phenomenal rise in power.
Frieza then set his sights on the remaining Black Sperm, who was actually trembling in fear. He smiled, than flew toward the remaining Black Sperm, grabbing the antenna on top of Black Sperm's head and sending him flying and crashing to where Golden Sperm now lied in defeat.
Frieza laughed at the display of pain being shown before him. "I must say you fought rather admirably. Oh!" Frieza pointed his finger up as an idea popped into his head. "In fact, I was so impressed by your performance that I'm willing to offer you a choice. I will let all of the insolent and degrading remarks you made toward me slide IF… you become my underling."
Vegeta, Zarbon, and the rest of the monsters exchanged looks of shock and disbelief. Golden Sperm and Black Sperm looked at each other with nervous looks, their minds trying to comprehend if Frieza was actually being serious. "Your ability to duplicate into TRILLIONS of copies is remarkable. In fact, you just might be able to replace the entire Frieza Force with your gargantuan numbers. Better yet, all of your copies are equal in power. One hundred of my foot soldier's combined couldn't lift a finger against even one of you. Join me, and you could live like a god. This goes for the rest of you!" Frieza looked up to the rest of the monsters. "If you have abilities as unique as your associate right here, then I will give you this opportunity to become a full fledged member of the Frieza Force and live the life of wealthy, powerful warriors with whatever your heart desires. Or…"
Frieza pointed his two fingers straight at the foreheads of the two sperm copies, and two flashes of red light began to glow at his fingertips. "You can suffer and die, as the last few seconds of your life are spent on your knees, like a little… bitch."
The Black Sperm copies dwelled on the choice given to them. It would be the ultimate humiliation to bow in complete mercy toward their opponent, but if they didn't, their deaths were basically guaranteed. There was no way that Master Orochi would give them any kind of help, and if Golden Sperm couldn't defeat Frieza, he highly doubted that any of the other Dragon level monsters could. But if he did accept Frieza's request, it would be the biggest disgrace of his life. How could they make such an impossible decision?
"I'm still waiting for an answer, and my patience is running thin. What is your choice?" The two Black Sperm copies stood up from their kneeled positions, their heads still bowed towards the ground in shame. The two fighters trembled inside. What they decided at that moment would decide their fate. Betray the Monster Association and give up their free will to this lizard freak? Or honor the Monster Association and almost certainly die right then and their? What would it be?
At that moment, Black Sperm's primal instinct to survive kicked in, forcing any previous thoughts of loyalty and honor out of his mind. Black Sperm knelt to the ground, bowed his head, and placed his hand over his heart. "I pledge myself to you, Lord Frieza."
"A very wise choice, my tiny black friend. Will your shiny clone be joining you, or is he too busy contemplating about committing spermicide?" Frieza let out a soft chuckle. "I hope you don't mind me using the same joke twice, but I simply couldn't help myself."
A sweat drop fell down Black Sperm's face. "Not at all…" Black Sperm turned his attention toward Golden Sperm. "Dude, you can't win. Just stop being such a hothead and join the winning side."
Golden Sperm peered back up to his fellow monsters and Orochi to see what was their reaction to this sudden betrayal. Master Orochi's face was still stoic and neutral, but he could tell the unmitigated fury Master Orochi was feeling just by looking at him. His hands were balled into fists, and his lips were pursed. He turned back to Frieza, whose fingertip was glowing an even brighter crimson red.
"Choose."
Golden Sperm covered his eyes with his hands. He couldn't believe he was actually going to do this, but he trudged over to Black Sperm's side and fell to his knees. "You win. You are my master now, Lord Frieza." Gasps spread like wildfire through the group of monsters, including Vegeta and Zarbon.
When Frieza saw this defeated sign of surrender, the space emperor cackled in delight. He then began clapping, practically applauding the two sperm-looking monsters for their well-thought decision to bow to his rule. "Bravo! You have just made the smartest decision of your lives! Would any of you up there like to join in these two's footsteps and become fully fledged members of the Frieza Force?"
The monsters remained silent. There was no way that any of them would be stupid enough to betray the Monster King himself…
Well, apparently there was. For Homeless Emperor had slid down into the deep crevice to join Lord Frieza. Homeless Emperor knew this was what he had to do. This was what it had all been leading up to. This Devil of Frost was the only one who could defeat the only thing that stood between the restoration of Mother Earth and humanity's extinction. God himself foresaw this, and he was his most powerful disciple. It would be disgraceful not to join Lord Frieza's empire.
Frieza hummed in interest. "Oh? Another one of you who is smart enough to realize submission will grant you a lifetime of opulence and power?"
"I merely desire to become a part of something greater, and you are the only one who can restore the beauty of this once serene planet."
"Ok… Well, as long as you are strong, you are more than welcome to join my grandiose empire."
The monsters couldn't believe this. One by one, all of the most powerful executive members of the Monster Association were being promoted, betraying the Monster Association without batting an eye. The remaining monsters loyal to the Monster Association could only imagine how enraged Orochi was feeling. All of them slowly looked to see just how mad Orochi was feeling, and what they saw was even worse than what they thought. Orochi's stoic mask was now gone. His entire body was trembling with rage, and his eyes were now razor sharp daggers. None of the monsters had ever seen Orochi this angry. Hell, none of them had ever seen Orochi with this much emotion, or any emotion, at all. All the monsters had only one question in their minds at that moment: what was Master Orochi's going to do?
Their question was answered. Orochi vanished in an instant. Frieza didn't have any time to register the titanic fist that hit in square in the chest. Frieza was blown up hundreds of feet into the air. The Monster King had had enough of this malarchy. It was time he asserted his dominance as the king of this world once and for all. And the first step to this was: subject insubordination.
The three dragon level monsters were speechless.
"Master Orochi..."
All three monsters were met with a violently forceful right backhand that sent all three of them straight into the ground. The force of that single strike was enough to fracture their bodies beyond repair; even Golden Sperm was not able to survive the strike. Orochi turned his attention back to Frieza, who had just managed to stop himself in midair before landing softly on the ground. "You had it easy fighting Black Sperm, but I am on a completely different level than this insignificant worm. Now you will have the privilege of dying at the hands of Orochi, the Monster King himself! No tricks, no interventions, simply hand-to-hand combat."
Frieza scrunched his face. He wouldn't dare show it, but Frieza actually felt that.
When he saw Orochi, he immediately distinguished him as the dominant leader of the group of monsters, with his large stature and rather frightening, intimidating appearance. But now, having felt the full force of his power, it became abundantly clear to him that this "Monster King" was the real deal. He would have to be on guard and make sure he didn't take another one of those surprise attacks full-on, or else he would be in some serious trouble.
"Very well. I will give you the courtesy of fighting you at the zenith of my power." A blue aura enveloped Frieza once again, and the Devil of Frost took a fighting pose.
While this intense standstill was happening, Fuhrer Ugly got up on his toes and whispered into Gouketsu's ear, "Do you think Master Orochi will be able to beat Frieza?"
Gouketsu simply huffed. "The tiny lizard might have been able to overpower Golden Sperm, but I have no doubt in my mind that Orochi will stand victorious. No being in the world can surpass him. Even with my martial arts prowess and my enhanced strength as a monster, I couldn't lift a finger to Orochi. You just watch. Frieza has no idea what he's in for."
The two leaders were as still as stone. But then, both disappeared from the spectators line of sight. The only visible sign that any fight was actually happening was the short and immensely powerful bursts of air pressure and wind that whipped their faces.
"Amazing..." said Gouketsu. "They're moving at speeds our eyes can't keep up with. Even as dragon level monsters, we're nothing compared to beings like these..."
Back in the ongoing battle, Orochi and Frieza were exchanging powerful blows. The short and powerful bursts of air pressure were actually the two fighter's fists colliding with each other. But what the spectators didn't know was that of the two of them, Frieza was the one who was taking more damage, as every punch that collided between them sent jolts of pain through his fists. Frieza then fired a barrage of death beams at Orochi, but to his annoyance, Orochi managed to deflect them all with no visible signs of pain. Orochi then leapt in front of Frieza, and swiped at Frieza using his claws. Frieza let out a yelp of pain as he felt those sword-sized claws slashing through his chest. Huge claw shaped marks then scarred the Earth from the power behind Orochi's attack. Orochi then followed it up with a right knee, pummeling Frieza into the ground once more.
Gouketsu and the rest of the monsters smiled. Orochi had this fight in the bag.
Frieza shook his head. He touched his wounds lightly, and winced when he felt the open flesh that had carved through his chest. The Space Emperor looked at the Monster King, who was smiling arrogantly at his opponent. Frieza's cold blood began to boil.
"Why YOU!"
"Lord Frieza!" Zarbon flew to his masters aid, but just before he could, a hand grasped his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. That hand belonged to Vegeta, of all people.
"Let go of me, you mongrel!"
"Don't be a fool! You know full well that thing is completely out of your league!"
"But-"
"But nothing! If Frieza can't win, then we're dead. And if Frieza does win, then we get to live. It's that simple." He'd like nothing more than to watch Frieza gasp his last breath, but he knew his friendly neighborhood monsters probably wouldn't be so keen to let him join their club. Not like he wanted to anyway. At this point, all they could do was watch...
"Hah hah hah..." Orochi's deep and intimidating laugh only served to enrage Frieza even more. "I told you. Even the mighty "Devil of Frost" cannot fathom my incomparable power.
"You see, my tiny friend, there is a simple, primordial rule that has reigned true since life first formed on this planet and extends to every corner of the universe: only the strong shall rule." Orochi slowly began walking to Frieza with a calm mannerism in his movements.
"Wealth, appearances, intelligence, street smarts, business, those are all useless, merely conveniences at best, in the face of raw, overwhelming power. A tyrant without any power of his own can rule with an iron fist. He can impose the most bias, most racist, most prejudiced rules, and have anyone who doesn't think like him imprisoned and sentenced to a lifetime of torture, to keep his citizens paralyzed in fear. But one day, there will be a lone rebel, a sole person who with words alone can stir the masses to rise up, infuse them with hope, the only emotion stronger than fear, to rebel against the draconian rule that imprisons them, and that tyrant will have no way of keep his empire stable for long. For without his castle, without his armies, without his followers, he is simply a tiny, pathetically weak man, living in his own fantasy world of control and confidence, when in reality, he controls nothing.
"You must understand this perfectly, no?"
"Oh, of course. How do you think I became the Emperor of the Universe?"
"I was told that a warrior with jet black hair and the power to defeat hundreds of your foot soldiers attempted to rebel against your rule, and you destroyed him along with his entire planet?"
Frieza gasped. "How do you know that?" Only he, Zarbon, and Dodoria had been there to see that day, and only they, along with what remained of the Saiyan race, knew of the legend that could have come close to coming true: the Legendary Super Saiyan. It, along with two other ancient beings his father had warned him to never cross paths with: Majin Buu and Beerus the Destroyer, were the only things that Frieza had ever feared, the only beings that could surpass him in power. No living soul could ever know of this fear, and if this monster somehow knew, that only gave him more reason to eliminate him.
"One of my underlings has the power of clairvoyance. She saw that moment in a vision."
"Ahhhh..." This caught Frieza's attention, and slightly calmed him down. If they only saw the moment, it was highly unlikely that they knew why he had really destroyed Planet Vegeta. And besides, having the power of clairvoyance would be an amazing gift to wield. He thought that dream was dead when Planet Kanassas and its inhabitants were killed, but apparently there was still another chance to attain this ability.
"That was 25 years ago. A low-class saiyan named Bardock caught wind of my plans and attempted to silence me, like the foolhardy monkey he was. So I destroyed him, along with the entire planet."
"I can see now why you're the Emperor of this Universe. It's obvious now. If you find a race who doesn't want to live under your empire, you can just destroy their planet in a fiery ball of death, which will spread fear and hopelessness throughout the universe, only adding strength to your army and reputation. And if your soldiers are even a 10th as powerful as you-
"Which they are."
"Then no matter how many citizens rise up, they'll all be beaten and slaughtered into submission, making them truly understand the frugality of their situation. In that sense, I envy you. And that's just one of the many reasons why I can't let you leave here alive.
"I am about to restore the world to how it once was: ruled by the strong and strong alone. I, and I alone, will lead this world and restore this planet to its natural order, its only order, and I can't have you in my way. Now prepare to meet your maker."
Frieza once again resumed a fighting stance. Orochi had been a fool for monologuing; it had given Frieza ample time to think and plan out his next move.
Frieza knew that Orochi's gigantic claws and larger body gave him an advantage over Frieza and allowed him to possess more force in his attacks, so engaging in close quarters combat was going to end badly for him. In that case, Frieza had to think of the things HE had that Orochi didn't. For one, he could fly and use energy attacks that could be charged if given enough time. He thought even deeper, and realized that perhaps having a larger body wasn't such a huge advantage. It made his vital organs much more vulnerable for attack, it made it much harder for him to properly target Frieza if he was constantly moving, and it decreased his speed to an extent. Frieza smiled to himself. Perhaps things could work out in his favor after all...
Frieza screamed, letting his aura flicker to life. He lunged for Orochi, his claws primed for battle. Orochi sprinted to Frieza, stretching his hand back to meet Frieza's attack head-on.
"DIE!"
But suddenly, Frieza jumped up into the air in a diagonal direction, then propelled himself with his energy. Orochi attempted to grab Frieza midair, but missed, simply grabbed the air instead. Frieza then landed a firm fight kick on Orochi's jaw. Orochi grabbed his jaw in pain, and spit a tooth out of his mouth. "Is that the best you can do?"
Frieza scoffed. "Hardly. I'm just getting started."
Orochi threw his fist at Frieza. Frieza jumped up, using Orochi's fist to propel himself upward, then fired a giant red energy wave just inches away from Orochi's face, which completely engulfed Orochi's head. Luckily, the energy blast had missed the spectating monsters and made its very long journey into the depths of space.
"Ahhh!" Orochi felt slightly nauseous and disoriented, feeling a dizzy spell cast over him. He hadn't been prepared for a point blank blast like that. Frieza continued his attack, opting not to be a gentleman and wait for his opponent to recover from the blast. Frieza elbowed Orochi in the stomach, eliciting a grunt of pain from Orochi. Orochi swung his fist at Frieza with adrenaline and rage, but only succeeded in punching himself in the gut. Now, Orochi's right hand was covering his eyes from the blast, and his left hand was clutching his gut.
"Perfect. Now's my chance to land the finishing blow." Frieza cupped his hands together, channeling all of the energy from his body into his hands.
Orochi, in pain and unable to see anything, called out for his minions. "Gouketsu! Psykos! All of you! Get down here at once!"
The monsters were a little slow to react because it took them a second to realize that Master Orochi was serious. Orochi, the most powerful monster on this planet, was actually calling out for help. "Oh... Yes, of course!"
All of the monsters leapt down to their masters side. As they were leaping down, Fuhrer Ugly and Nyan began transforming, growing in size, their teeth and claws elongating, and their muscles pumping up as they went into their maximum state of power.
"You're powerful, but let's see how you handle all of us at once!" shouted Gouketsu.
But it was too late for the monsters.
"TAKE COVER!" shouted Zarbon, for he knew what was about to come.
"Nova Crusher!"
The surge of energy was enormous. All of the monsters were caught in the blast; they were too close to dodge, too close to put up any psychic barrier for protection. All they could do was watch their lives flash before their very eyes.
"How close are we to the alien ship?"
The S-Class heroes were running at a full sprint. Well, all of them except Tornado, who was flying up in the air, extremely irritated because she was forced to slow down for the rest of the slow poke S-class heroes. All of the heroes had been perplexed when King had asked to hitch a ride on Darkshine's back. King reasoned that it was so he would save his energy for the fight against the aliens, and the heroes didn't object once they heard his engine beating louder than ever.
"According to Sitch, the ship is about 30 miles north of us," replied Bang.
"Finally!" Metal Bat swung his bat at a tree, completely tearing it from its roots. "Whatever this "Devil of Frost" thing is, it better be fucking worth it! I had to miss my sisters-"
"God, will you knock it off already?!" Tatsumaki shouted up from the sky. "You've said the same thing 47 times already! WE GET IT!"
"Whatever!" Metal Bat grunted, but his face softened when he thought of her little sister. "I hope she's ok. I left her all alone..."
"Don't worry, Metal Bat." Bomb, who couldn't help but overhear Metal Bat's tone of concern for his little sister, ran over to Metal Bat's side to give him some comfort. He was just a child, after all. "I know what it feels like to care for a younger sibling. I can't tell you how many times I-"
"EVERYONE HIT THE DECKS!" screamed Tatsumaki. "SOMETHING HUGE IS COMING!"
At first, none of the heroes knew what the hell she was talking about. But then, the heroes heard something which sounded like an explosion, and it was getting closer and closer by the second.
"OH SHIT!"
The heroes barely had enough time to dodge a huge blast of red energy that was ripping through the land like it was tossing up loose sand. The blast of red energy then exploded, sending all of the S-class heroes flying into the air.
It took around a minute for all of the heroes to recuperate from the blast that could have taken their lives.
"Is everyone alright? Is anyone missing?" asked Bang.
Bang began counting all of the heroes to see who was still with them, and thankfully, everyone had managed to avoid the blast.
"At least that proves this frost guy isn't a complete pushover," said Metal Bat.
"What kind of monster could have created a blast so powerful?" said Puri-Puri-Prisoner.
"The only way we're going to find that out is if we follow that." Sweet Mask pointed to the newly formed canyon that was spanning for miles.
"Then let's do this! I wanna get these babies pumpin!" shouted Superalloy Darkshine.
"I agree. I've had enough suspense." Flashy Flash unsheathed his katana. "It's time we finally know what we're really up against."
Dust clouds were swirling around in the huge crater. Frieza coughed, his eyes watering as well from all the dust accumulated in the crater.
"Lord Frieza! Are you alright?!"
"I'm fine, Zarbon. What about the midget men? Did they get caught in the crossfire?"
Frieza looked around, and saw all three of the newly recruited Frieza Force members lying on their backs on the side of the crater, in a coughing fit like Frieza.
Vegeta put his hand over his eye. There was no chance in hell Vegeta could ever pose a threat to this monster. Hell, it was hard to believe anything could stand up to this abhorrent mutant. Which meant he would be stuck being Frieza's plaything for the rest of his life. The thought made him want to yank out all of his hair while screaming until his lungs gave out.
"I probably overdid it a tad there. Let's see how our friends fared against that display of my power."
Frieza cut an invisible ki wave through the air to clear all of the dust out of the crater. Frieza's eyes slightly widened when he saw just exactly how bad the monsters were damaged. All of them were lying on the ground in what appeared to be an unconscious state. Some of the monsters had lost their limbs, their faces burned, and their bodies laying lifeless on the ground. Frieza counted at least three of the monsters that weren't even there: the one with no eyes and big teeth, the particularly ugly monster, the giant blob of water, and the anthropomorphic cat, meaning they must have been completely vaporized by the blast. The female esper and Orochi were the only ones who managed to keep all of their body parts intact.
Frieza walked over to the fallen Monster King, with a skip in his steps. Orochi's head gradually craned itself up, nominally surprising Frieza. "You put up quite a fight. I can see why you call yourself the Monster King. But in the end, you simply couldn't match my otherworldly strength. In fact, now that I mention my strength, I have something to tell you before you die."
Frieza leaned down and whispered into Orochi's right ear. Once Frieza leaned back up, Orochi's entire body shook with fear, and his face whimpered in terror. "That's not possible. You're telling me you weren't-"
"Yes, you weren't fighting me with even half a percent of my true power. I was merely testing myself to see if I could beat you at my current power, and it turns out, I was right. With that in mind, I find there is no more entertainment to be found here."
Frieza stretched his arm out to the Monster King. "Feel free to pray to your god to save you, but spoiler alert-"
Frieza flexed his finger and fired his death beam, which went straight through the Monster King's skull and his entire body.
"I wasn't listening."
Frieza wiped the sweat off of his forehead. "Phew. Now that that's finally over with, what say we find Dodoria and the other two, and we resume our search for-"
One of the foot soldiers shouted at the top of his lungs from the ship, interrupting Frieza. "Lord Frieza! The Ginyu Force is about to arrive!"
Frieza was utterly baffled at this unexpected update. "What?! How come you didn't tell me sooner?!"
The foot soldier stammered before he could find the right words that wouldn't get him killed. "You were in the middle of a very important battle, so I didn't want to interrupt you and take your concentration away from the battle."
Frieza stared coldly for a few seconds, but then he dismissed his anger. "Fair enough..." Vegeta and Zarbon heard a loud sigh of relief from the random foot soldier. "Ah yes, I can see their space pods coming into view."
Vegeta and Zarbon looked up, and sure enough, five space pods were flying in, slowing down as the got closer and closer to Frieza's ship. Zarbon and Vegeta still couldn't believe that the Ginyu Force themselves were coming to this planet. Each member possessed a unique skill set that was extremely deadly to those who ever had the terror of fighting them firsthand.
The Pods crashed onto the ground with tremendous force and vibrations shaking the ground around them. Within a moments notice, all 5 fronts of the Ginyu Pods sprung open.
"Lord Frieza, some more earthlings have arrived!"
Frieza groaned. "Again? Who now?"
Frieza floated up from the crater, and laid his eyes upon around a dozen humanoid fighters, who looked at him with deadly stares and faces that said they were looking for a fight.
The newcomers spoke in exact unison: "So, what did we miss?"
Boom! Not even Orochi could stand up to Frieza! I wrote most of this chapter while on a plane to Spain, and got serious jet lag. But anyway, it's happening! Some S-class heroes vs. Space Pirate action!
To respond to some of the reviews: Neonazo, Golden Sperm wasn't a reference to Golden Frieza, that was literally his transformation in the webcomic. Speedyquader, the reason why I don't think Golden Sperms power is additive is because all his cells were in their neutral or inactive state, and as a result, I don't believe they fully activated their true power. Also, a lot of energy was spent on combining the cells themselves, and each cell was fighting to be the dominant one of the group. And to the guest, the Bulma equivalent was the doctors and Child Emperor. They aren't chicks, but I don't really care. And erdrick, you'll just have to wait and see...
And to the guests who say these power levels are BS because none of them have shown planetary feats, the only reason why fighters in dbz universe can perform planetary feats is because the channel their ki. But in terms of solely hand-to-hand combat, all of the OPM and DBZ fighters have shown around the same level of strength; none of the dbz characters in the Frieza saga were able to break entire mountain ranges with their fists. If a lot of these monsters could channel energy like in dbz, they could blow up planets too. But you got the 150th review of my story, so congratulations! Pat yourself on the back.
Stay tuned for more on the next chapter of The Space Emperor's Besiege!
