It's Chapter 22, baby! I've also updated my other story, Monstrum Hominis, so be sure to take a look at that. Anyway, sorry for the long wait, but at least I didn't bail on the story. Now, witness the battle between the Super Saiyan Nappa and Second Form Frieza in all of its petrifying glory!
"I am a Super Saiyan. Now prepare to burn in hell."
A swirl of confusion, rage, and shock rocked Vegeta. The Prince of Saiyans refused to believe what he was seeing. Nappa, a super saiyan? Vegeta simply couldn't understand it. Now, there was no doubt that Nappa was of the higher echelon of the saiyan race, and given his status as the General of the Saiyan army, he would have eventually attained the transformation, but that would only be after the Prince himself attained it first! The idea that a gibbering, hot-headed fool like Nappa could attain the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation before he did was inconceivable!
"NOOOO!" Everyone looked up to the sky when they heard Vegeta's scream echo through the land. The prince was so engulfed in rage, it actually manifested around him in a purple aura, and his face was so angry, one could hardly even tell it was human. The veins in his eyes turned red, the hairs on his tail pointing out, and his fists clenched in fury. "I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS! I AM THE CULMINATION OF EVERYTHING SUPERIOR IN THE SAIYAN RACE! NAPPA, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A WORM COMPARED TO M-"
Vegeta's sentence was abruptly cut off, for he felt like a cannonball had shot itself straight into Vegeta's stomach. It wasn't a cannonball, but in fact, it was Nappa's fist that had barreled itself into Vegeta's stomach; a cannonball would have been preferable. The Saiyan General was so fast, not even Captain Ginyu himself saw him clearly. The red veins in Vegeta's eyes bulged to even larger sizes, as lines of drool streaming down Vegeta's face. This pain was like nothing he had ever experienced. "What in the..." Nappa said nothing to Prince Vegeta. No snide comments, no condescending jokes, no snarls or anger, just a neutral face. It was as if Nappa was reminiscing of the moments in Vegeta's life, what he had done, and how well did he honor his saiyan ancestry. After about 10 seconds, the Saiyan General bent his head down and whispered something into Vegeta's ear that would forever change the Prince of Saiyans.
"Your father would be so disappointed in the man you've become." With a light push from Nappa's fingers, Vegeta was sent on a free-fall, his body and his mind broken yet again by another earth-shattering defeat.
"Is somebody gonna get him?" said Recoome. Nobody made any movement to save the prince from falling. "Fine, I'll do it!" Only at the last moment, when Vegeta's face was almost inches away from the ground, that Guldo lifted his finger, telekinetically saving Vegeta from a broken nose. Guldo lifted his finger further up into the air, bringing Vegeta up and laying him down on the edge of the ship. Zarbon floated beside Vegeta and put his fingers to his neck for a pulse. "Well, he's still breathing. He's just knocked out."
"Well I'm not putting him in a healing pod!" shouted Guldo. "Recoome, you do it!"
Recoome grunted in annoyance, replying, "Fine! Recoome will take ol Veggie inside!" Recoome slowly flew over to Vegeta's side and slung him over his shoulder, making his way toward the healing quarters.
Frieza had turned around to see what Nappa has done to Vegeta, but when he turned around, Nappa was gone.
"I'm right here."
Frieza's head spin back around to meet Nappa's golden eyes, glowing with the power and rage or a super saiyan. Frieza's tongue was tied in knots; how could a saiyan obtain such speed?
"You have no idea what you're up against!" shouted Nappa. Frieza's eyes widened, and he rapidly put his arms up to block the blow that struck him. Even when he defended himself, a surge of energy sent him flying up into the sky, several bursts of wind pressure released in the process, 10 times more powerful than any other previous bursts of air, destroying the cliffs off of many canyons nearby. Nappa followed up his attack and flew up into the air, pummeling Frieza with a barrage of punches. Frieza attempted to retaliate, but Frieza couldn't keep up with Nappa's new super saiyan speed. The golden aura began to increase in intensity, creeping up onto Frieza's arms and quickly enveloping both warriors. After several punches, Frieza finally managed to catch his fist. Nappa's eyebrows furrowed, and he threw a fist with his other hand. Frieza caught the second fist as well, and the two of them proceeded to push each other midair. Frieza's aura began to shine around him, combining with Nappa's energy to create a swirling vortex of colored ki. Frieza's mouth was pursed into a downward snarl of rage, incapable of understanding how Nappa gained such an unbelievable boost in strength. Frieza began to feel the pressure in his wrists increase, the aura and dominance of Nappa gradually overwhelming Frieza by the second. The Saiyan General applied just a minuscule increase in force, which was enough to send jolts of pain through Frieza's body and caused him to let out a scream of pain.
"INSOLENT MONKEY!" Nappa slapped Frieza across the face, and followed up with a right front kick to his chin that propelled him upward. Nappa flew up above him, and for the finishing touch, slammed Frieza downward with a knee to the stomach. Both Frieza and Nappa crashed down to the Earth at amazing speeds, kicking up huge clouds of dust when they reached the ground. The dust quickly cleared, and the spectators saw Nappa holding Frieza by the neck, the golden energy still burning brightly around him. Nappa scoffed.
"Come on! Don't tell me that this is the best you can do!" shouted Nappa, "I haven't even broken a sweat!" Nappa opened his palm, firing a burst of yellow energy that sent Frieza rocketing through the Earth, creating a canyon that spanned several hundred meters wide and several hundred meters deep, stupefying all of the spectators. "I want the honor of taking you down at your best! I owe it to all of the saiyans who died by your hand!" Nappa spread out his legs, reached his arms out, and from his palms, fired lightning-fast bullets of energy. Frieza raised himself off the ground, shaking off the trauma of the blast, and quickly raised his arms to defend himself from the onslaught of bullets about to strike him. It felt as if dozens upon dozens of bees were swarming him, stinging him, pestering him to no end. As the seconds passed, the multitude and power of the bullets increased. For the final touch, Nappa launched an energy bullet the size of a soccer ball. The energy ball exploded upon contact, enveloping him in a cloud of smoke.
"GGGGRRRRAAAAAHHHHH!" The energy from Frieza disseminated the cloud of smoke. The Saiyan General smirked; it looked like he managed to get a rise out of him. "I must concede, I hadn't expected such a grandiose display of vigor from a creature so low on the food chain!" shouted Frieza, "But alas, a monkey is still a monkey, and I've killed plenty in my day. Million. Literally millions." Nappa's aura flared up. "So if you think that now you're a Super Saiyan, you're better than me, LORD FRIEZA," Frieza annunciated the word "Lord" as he spoke, "than you're dead wrong. Nobody humiliates me and walks away!"
Rocks that laid around Frieza floated up in the sky, and the ground around him began to violently shake. Nappa's senses spiked; somehow, he was making himself even stronger. His body tensed. Maybe this wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. His thought was instantly proven correct. Frieza flew up toward Nappa at a speed much faster than just a few seconds ago. Nappa barely had time to block the punch and return fire with a counter-punch. The two of them flew to the skies and struck each other with powerful knee strikes. Both of them instantly disappeared from the spectator's line of sight, with the only visible sign that a battle was even taking place being the intensely sharp bursts of air pressure that managed to actually ruffle up some of the spectators, specifically King.
Speaking of King, the world's strongest man, the hero had his eyes closed and his hands clasped together, quietly sending prayers to the god up above who kept on saving his ass time and time again. He really didn't deserve it, but he still appreciated it nonetheless. "Hold on..." A small stream of some odd liquid stuck itself to his pants. It took a few seconds to realize what that odd liquid really was, and as soon as he did, he slapped his hand to his forehead. "Of course..." Well, what was a pair of ruined pants in comparison to one's life?
Once the feeling of embarrassment faded, King focused his attention to other matters at hand. All of the heroes were lying unconscious in the middle of the battlefield; if this battle continued to heat up, the heroes could be turned into collateral damage. "Well, I haven't done shit-for-dick since I got here, so..." Despite the fear welling up in his heart, a combination of both bravery and guilt overpowered this primeval fear. He'd lived this lie for more than three years now, and because of it, not only did he steal the credit from an honest man, but had also put innocent civilians in harm's way countless times simply for being the world's strongest man. "It's about goddamn I grow a pair to replace the womanhood in between my legs," mumbled King.
The hero took a deep breath, and sprinted into the heat of the battle. King covered his face with his hands to avoid any more scars, and had to do whatever he could to make sure he wasn't blown away from the bursts of wind. The first person King grabbed was, ironically, the Hero Hunter, Garou. King grunted; Garou was a lot heavier than he thought. Either that, or King was really weak. "It's probably the latter..." The hero slung Garou around his shoulders and ran, or more specifically, trotted, as fast as he could back to a location far enough from the battleground. "Phew." King swiped the sweat off his forehead. He only carried one body, and already he was sweating like a pig. "I really need to work out." Taking another deep breath, he ran into the hellfire of battle, determined to do whatever he could to help.
Up in the sky, the battle raged on with unbridled ferocity. Unlike a few moments ago, Frieza was able to hold his own against Super Saiyan Nappa, proving that his recent power up wasn't just for show. No, the fight between the Super Saiyan of legend and the Emperor of the Universe had only just begun.
Nappa and Frieza were exchanging several close-range blows, neither one of them giving the other a single inch. Frieza jabbed Nappa, and Nappa blocked the punch with his elbow. An onslaught of quick jabs followed, and Nappa attempted to block them just as he did before, but with little success. Frieza attacked Nappa with a knee strike, sending him crashing down to the cliffside. Frieza's hands clamped Nappa's face and neck, preventing him from speaking. Two pink energy balls formed at the palms of Frieza's hands. The energy balls enveloped around Nappa. Frieza continued the relentless assault with a barrage of pink energy waves, creating a large explosion with Nappa in the center of it. Frieza floated above the barren crater, his arms crossed in confidence and his lips pursed into a small smile. "I know you're still out there, so don't waste any time playing dead."
The dust from the explosion swirled around in a tornado-like fashion, combining with the aura of the Super Saiyan Nappa to create a light brown and yellow vortex. All the nearby rocks were destroyed, and in the center of the vortex, Nappa shot back up, surprising Frieza, and punched Frieza hard in the chin.
Nappa rotated his body midair in order to gain momentum in his spin kick, successfully hitting Frieza and sending him flying to the right. Nappa blazed forward at full-speed, performed a forward front-flip, and kicked Frieza downward. Before Frieza crashed down to the ground again, his ki flared around him, flying back up to Nappa. Nappa threw a yellow orb of energy down, but Frieza knocked it aside, and swung a left fist, to which Nappa met with his own fist. Both warriors struggled midair, both of them trying to gain the edge over the other. "Now this is more like it," said Nappa through grunts.
"Oh, you think so?" replied Frieza, "Well, I hope it's everything you wanted." The aura around Frieza brightened again, and Nappa felt an intense pressure creeping up as Frieza's energy began to rise. "But enough playtime. Come and get the first real fight you've had in 20 years, you filthy monkey!"
"SLIMY REPTILE!"
Both of their aura's burst around their bodies. The energy from their bodies swirled around them, expanding in size to form giant torrential whirlpools in the sky, all-the-while their voices beginning to rise in intensity. The whirlpools of energy continued to grow and grow, becoming more intense as they increased in size. When the two energies had gained enough mass, they eventually touched each other. A series of sparks and sizzles filled the air when the two of them met, each orb of energy fluctuating in the epicenter of this spherical struggle.
"Unbelievable," muttered Captain Ginyu, "This is the power of a Super Saiyan..." Captain Ginyu looked down, and realized a current of wind was whipping up. It took him a second to figure out this sudden windstorm was being caused by Frieza and Nappa's energy collision. The winds were brewing at such fast velocity, large rocks and leftover debris from previous battles were being lifted up into the air. All of the wind currents and debris were being sucked into the epicenter of the clash of energies, instantly being vaporized upon contact. Soon after, the auras began to die down, regressing back to fiery flames wrapping around the two fighters with their warmth.
But neither one made a move. Both warriors merely stared each other down, the intensity of the battle being played out with only looks. Contrary to their passionate gazes, their bodies were sedate and tranquil, not even a finger twitching out of place. Frieza and Nappa calmly floated downward to the ground. The pair walked toward each other until they were inches apart. Standing so close to each other, the spectators noticed that even in his second form, Nappa was still a few inches taller and his muscles more defined thanks to the Super Saiyan power surging through his veins. Not a single sound was released from their vocal cords. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of wind and the silent stutters of shock from some of the spectators.
After the intense moment of silence, it was Nappa who put it to rest. Nappa smirked. He swung his fist, slapping Frieza across the face and putting him off-balance. Up next came an elbow to Frieza's face, and then a right fist planted in the lizard's gut. Frieza retaliated by sticking his palm out onto the ground, spun 360 degrees like a spinning top, and sweeped Nappa's feet. However, Nappa anticipated the move, and jumped up into the air, firing a small burst of energy at Frieza. Frieza followed Nappa's move and flew up into the sky, narrowly dodging the blast of energy. Frieza cupped his hands together, gathered the energy from his body, and blasted a purple energy wave. Nappa braced himself by craning his right arm back. "That won't work on me!" The Saiyan General yelled out, and when the energy wave was just about to hit him, Nappa deflected it with his hand. "No, but this will..."
Appearing right behind the energy wave, Frieza honed in on his kill while he was distracted with the two balls of energy he had gathered in his palms. Nappa wasn't fast enough to evade Frieza at such a short distance, so he was forced to take the brunt of the energy balls. Nappa was hurtled up into the sky. When he stopped, he shook his head to shake off the trauma, and glared down at Frieza.
"I've had enough of this! Time for you to pay, Frieza!" Nappa opened up his lower jaw and prepared his signature attack. Even now, he couldn't believe how much energy he had gained. The ki flowing up his body and through his throat was unbelievable. Frieza tensed; Nappa must have been preparing one of his signature attacks. "Not a chance!" shouted Frieza. Frieza held his palm up in the air, and a purple orb of energy appeared in his hand the size of a bowling ball. A second later, it became the size of an exercise ball, and the next second, it was as big as a wrecking ball. Instead of firing the ball, a beam of energy fired out of the orb.
"SUPER BREAKER CANNON!" The full brunt of these pulverizing blasts sparkled and sizzled in the sky. Even while midair, the tremors were potent enough to not only shake nearby canyons, but everything for around one hundred miles. The quaking even managed to reach the Mantle of the Earth, fracturing the millions of years of molten rock that had formed. The energy waves were on equal footing at first impact. Howbeit, the unbridled ferocity of a saiyan and the advanced cellular biology coupled together was truly a force to be reckoned with, and for Frieza, his current power simply wasn't enough to match it. Nappa's new and improved Breaker Cannon devoured Frieza's energy wave like it was a tiny appetizer, and made its way toward the main course: roasted lizard. "GGGGRRRAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Frieza did nothing but remain motionless as he was served up on a hot platter.
Captain Ginyu cried out, "My lord!"
Up in the sky, Nappa slyly grinned. "Rest in pieces."
On the bystander's stands, something caught Recoome's eye. "Look!" Recoome pointed up above him, and sure enough, Lord Frieza was floating up in the sky, assuming the same confident smirk on Nappa's face. Concurrently, the Saiyan General's lips pursed downward into a disappointed grimace.
"Of course..."
"It's a real bitch, ain't it?" said Frieza, "When you can't properly annihilate someone? It makes you feel like you've lost your touch at murder. Well, I wouldn't know the feeling."
Both warriors floated down to the ground yet again. "You know, in a way, I'm actually rather relieved that you're the Legendary Super Saiyan."
Nappa snarled. "What are you talking about?" By the time Nappa finished his sentence, they had already reached the ground.
"Oh, isn't it obvious to you?" said Frieza. "Well, with your abysmally low intelligence, I imagine it would take some time for your mind to wrap your head around this. If it isn't obvious to you," Frieza gestured his hands to his entire body, "This isn't the form you've been familiar with the past 25 years."
"Yea. You transformed. So what?"
"Well, rather than wasting my time explaining it to you, why don't I treat you to the same terror the other Earthlings had the pleasure to experience. Yes, perhaps this would be the best way to understand just how truly helpless you are against me.
"You see, each time I transform, my power increases exponentially, and as it so happens, I still have two transformations beyond this one. So are you finally starting to put the pieces together in that virtually non-existent brain of yours?"
"You're bluffing," shouted Nappa.
In response, Frieza egotistically leered.
"Now, allow me to demonstrate. You should consider this an honor. You shall be the first one to ever lay eyes upon me in this next state." Frieza crossed his arms, and held his hands out to his sides. As soon as he did, a crimson aura with a black outline flared up. Simultaneously, red bio-electricity was generated all around him. Nappa grit his teeth, and raised his hands up in defensive position.
"AHHAHAHAHA! Prepare yourself and behold! The second transformation of the mighty Frieza!"
Frieza shouted in agony, unnerving Nappa as he did so. Suddenly, two large spikes grew out of his upper back, with a smaller spike forming a few inches above his tail. He went from shouting to grunting as he underwent his transformation. The two shoulder-pads of his biologic exosuit shot out, increasing several inches in length. Then, came quite probably the most alarming and abhorrent change in his figure: his skull started to elongate. Being the most painful part of the transformation, his neck veins bulged and his eyes stretched out in his sockets. On his head, two more small spikes grew out to accompany his black horns, which were actually turning white for some bizarre reason. For the final touch, his head instantaneously protracted outward, becoming about two feet long. A loud sigh of relief escaped Frieza's lips once his transformation was complete. He now stood about an inch taller than Super Saiyan Nappa, although his gargantuan head made the difference in height appear much larger.
"What do you think? Was it worth the wait?" The voice Frieza spoke with now was somehow even deeper than before.
The Saiyan General showed palpable facial signs of disgust. It appeared like he was about to vomit. His senses were tingling with danger throughout the entire transformation. He could feel an immense rise in power that he wasn't prepared for. "You vile freak!" A chorus of amused chuckles came from Frieza. Nappa hadn't expected this sudden turn of events. Be that as it was, Nappa wouldn't be intimidated like this.
"So what? You changed into a Ridley Scott ripoff monster! You think that will make any difference against me?! I'm the Super Saiyan of Legend! A warrior of pure fighting instinct and unprecedented power! Scum like you can transform a hundred times, and still not even be a tenth as mighty as me!"
"Well I guess we'll find out soon enough, won't we?"
"I guess we will," replied Nappa. The two combatants took a fighting stance. Round two of the Legendary Super Saiyan versus the Emperor of the Universe was about to begin.
The Super Saiyan's golden aura flared up around him again. He lunged for Frieza, determined to wipe that smug grin of of Frieza's face. "YOU'RE MINE, FRIEZA!" Before his very eyes, Frieza vanished. Nappa incoherently stuttered. Where did he go? He was a Super Saiyan! His battle instincts should be at there peak! There was no way he could lose sight of him so quickly, especially when he was right in front of him!
"Right behind you." The voice that spoke was so calm, it was almost frightening. Frieza kicked Nappa in the small of his back, eliciting a grunt of pain from Nappa. Nappa swung his body around to strike Frieza, but he was already gone. Frieza struck again, punching Nappa hard in the cheek. Nappa quickly flew up into the sky to gain some distance from Frieza. "I've got to keep on guard," spoke Nappa to himself, "I can beat this bastard. I just have to play it smart." He craned his head back to see if Frieza was catching up to him, but to his shock, he was gone. He turned his head back in front of him, and surprise surprise, Frieza was floating right in front of him. "How nice of you to join me, I've been waiting for quite some time."
The veins in Nappa's forehead bulged out of control, and the golden aura sprang up to life as rage flowed forth through the mighty saiyan's veins. "YYYYYYYYYAAAAAA!" Nappa struck Frieza with a hard punch, but to his surprise, Frieza had no problems dodging it. Nappa continued with a string of punches, but Frieza continued to swiftly evade all of his strikes, all-the-while smiling like he was on a Sunday stroll. "DAMN IT! DAMN IT!" Even though Nappa's speed was impressive, it was like all of his power was inconsequential in the face of this new transformation. Frieza cackled in delight. "It seems like you're rather befuddled. You know, you could always start flinging your feces as a last resort. Who knows? You might get a lucky throw."
Nappa fired a short range Breaker Cannon from his mouth. A bright flash filled the sky. The corners of his mouth raised upwards in delight. "Yes! A direct hit!" He beamed with confidence; no matter how much power Frieza had gained from this new form, there was no way he could survive a point-blank blast like that. He was done for! When the bright light waned out, the corners of his mouth dropped down to the ground. There wasn't a single scratch to be found on Frieza's hideous body.
"Now that you realize your Super Saiyan power is of no use anymore, that feeling of helplessness I was hoping to elicit must be settling in nicely," Frieza raised his right hand up into the air. "Now, have you ever heard of paintball?"
"Yes..."
"Just remove the T."
"I don't get it..." A lightning-fast beam of purple energy shot out of Frieza's fingertip and hit Nappa in the knee. "AHHH! I GET IT!" Firing from both his fingertips now, the Space Emperor chuckled with glee and proceeded to torture Nappa with an endless barrage of death beams. Nappa attempted to power up, to get out of the crazy finger beams, but there were too many of them for him to properly concentrate with the searing pain shooting up through him. On the sidelines, Guldo, Recoome, Zarbon, and Captain Ginyu were smiling, content in seeing their master overpower that filthy idiotic ape.
"Lord Frieza's really showing him what for," said Recoome.
"Nappa doesn't stand a chance now," added Guldo.
"I always knew Lord Frieza had the edge," said Captain Ginyu, "Even a Super Saiyan doesn't stand a chance against the Emperor of the Universe."
"The battle's already over."
On the ground, King's entire body was drenched with sweat. He had already taken Metal Bat, Bang, Bomb, and Tatsumaki off of the battlefield and out of harm's way. By the time he got to Atomic Samurai, however, most of the strength had left his body, so he was reduced to dragging the remaining heroes off with the rest of them. It had taken a few minutes, but he finally managed to get everyone to safety. Well, everyone except Superalloy Darkshine. If he tried to drag that 550 pound hunk of flesh, he would throw his back out, maybe even break it. Now that he finished his job, he turned his attention back to the battle between Frieza and Nappa. Even though they were high up in the air, it didn't take hawk-like vision to see Nappa was getting pummeled. He squinted his eyes, and realized Frieza's form was different from before. His head was like two feet long, and a bunch of spikes had popped out of his back. He was so busy with rescuing the heroes, he must have completely missed this unfortunate turn of events. If things kept going on as they were now, not only King, but the entire planet would be done for. That bluff had been a stroke of unbelievable luck, and he wasn't very confident he could occupy Frieza's attention long enough for Saitama to arrive.
"We're gonna need another miracle...
His metallic feet crunched loudly against the asphalt on the sidewalk. Armored Gorilla, member of the House of Evolution, an organization once dedicated to eradicating the world of inferior lifeforms and creating human perfection, was returning home from a quick visit to the grocery store. He had to admit, he somewhat enjoyed the tranquility of this new lifestyle. Dr. Genus and his clones were now treating him with much more respect than before, and there was an air of mutual respect between them that hadn't been there before.
He looked around him, noticing the desolate nature of the landscape and the absence of any life. Did this have something to the Monster Association that gorilla monster had mentioned earlier? He wasn't sure. He walked up to the shop; he had finally made it back home. A bell chimed when armored Gorilla opened the door. At the sound, one of Dr. Genus' clones kindly greeted Armored Gorilla. "Good afternoon, Armored Gorilla!"
Armored Gorilla smiled back at the clone. "Good afternoon, doctor! I got the ingredients you needed for the new Takoyaki dish you wanted to add to the menu!"
"Excellent! Let's get started right away!" Armored Gorilla walked behind the counter with the clone to prepare his cuisine.
Outside the shop, the S-class hero, Zombieman, was standing with his hand stuffed into his coat pocket. Zombieman had trailed this ape for quite some time, and at last, he had finally found the base of operations for the organization that was responsible for all of the havoc wreaked upon the world these past few days. "It doesn't look like much, but this is it. This small, unassuming restaurant is what I've been looking for.
"Your reign of terror ends now, Dr. Genus!" Zombieman paced forward and pushed the doors open, determined for the fight that was surely about to begin.
Despite being the expert detective, the immortal hero had seldom caught the two henchmen following him up in the sky just as Zombieman had done with Armored Gorilla. Karmath and Orlen hovered down to the ground and stood just inches in front of the restaurant.
"Alright, we found out where these two punks were headed," said Orlen," Now can we finally kill these guys?" Orlen charged up his ki gun and hurriedly sprinted into the store, but just before he could push the doors open, Karmath grabbed him by the shoulder and slung him backward. Orlen shot Karmath an enraged look.
"No! Not yet! We still don't know anything about them!" Karmath, at random, began clicking on his scouter, causing it to beep rapidly as it turned on. "What are you doing?" asked Orlen.
"I'm switching my scouter to surveillance mode," replied Karmath.
Orlen's eyes widened in mild surprise. "You can do that?"
"Yep. It's a pretty handy feature for espionage activities and such. Now be quiet. The scouter needs absolute silence in order to properly pick up the sound waves in the other room." Orlen nodded and quietly tippy-toed his way beside Karmath. The foot soldier's heart was racing with the excitement of what he was about to uncover. With this, their lives were hopefully secured.
The three scientists were working as ardently as ever in Bofoi's laboratory. Papers were flying everywhere, keys were being vigorously typed so quickly and with so much pressure, they were close to being cracked. The adrenaline was pumping through all of their bodies, fueling their thought process and their vigorous working efficiency. Bofoi's spy drones had picked up some very distressing events: all of the S-class heroes, minus King, for some odd reason, had been taken out by the Devil of Frost. With a great touch of irony, the next one who was fighting Frieza was, in fact, Frieza's henchman and the very individual who had just escaped the holding cell. And thanks to Bofoi's advanced technology integrated in his drones, they were able to accurately capture all of the movements of the ongoing battles.
"Have you finished implementing the binary codes," said Bofoi to Dr. Kuseno.
"Just finished," replied Dr. Kuseno.
"How much time is left before the data upload is completed?" questioned Child Emperor.
"About 98% of the data has been successfully uploaded to the hard-drive."
The three scientists were so busy with their work, none of them noticed Sitch sprinting into the room and rushing up to their side, shouting, "What's going on?! Is this weapon of yours ready?" No response was given to Sitch. The employee ran his hands through his hair in aggravation, and shook the body of Dr. Kuseno to get his attention. The good doctor was momentarily snapped out of his working mode and turned his attention to the nerve-racked man waiting for him.
"IS THE WEAPON READY?!" said Sitch in a practically-shouting tone of voice.
"We're almost there," replied Dr. Kuseno. The doctor clicked on the table surface, and Genos' face appeared as a holographic image on the table. "Genos, have you finished applying the required modifications to the weapon?"
"Yes, doctor," replied Genos.
"Good." Another separate holographic image popped up on the screen, causing Dr. Kuseno to smile with relief. "Yes! The data upload has just finished!
"Alex! Bofoi! We are a-go!" The two genius scientists looked to their fellow scientist and nodded. "Initiate the launching sequence."
"Got it."
The trio sprinted up to the keyboard and all three of them began rapidly typing, occasionally pushing each other as they did. "Put the coordinates in."
"Understood..." Sitch stood behind Bofoi, Dr. Kuseno, and Child Emperor and silently watched them prepare this weapon to be launched. Whatever kind of weapon this was, it must have been a truly powerful object to behold.
A monitor hung up on the wall came to life above the four, and on it, a giant red number appeared: a countdown clock.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
"Launch."
The ground beneath them violently shook, knocking all four of them off balance. Then, a loud, roaring noice reverberated not just in the laboratory, but throughout the entire Hero Association headquarters. Bofoi took control of the keyboard, and switched the security camera lens to show them the weapon that was shooting up in the sky, creating a large cloud of smoke as it did.
"It's finally done..."
The Super Saiyan of Legend wasn't quite living up to his title on the battlefield. One thousand years after the last seen Super Saiyan, Nappa was honoring the title's legacy by getting his ass completely handed to him by the lizard that exterminated his race and tore whatever remaining pride the Saiyan race had left. In the sky, Frieza's Crazy Finger Beams were still pelting Nappa like a swarm of angry bees.
After about the 1000th Death Beam, Nappa's sturdy body finally wore out, and he began a rapid free-fall to the ground. Frieza smiled as he watched Nappa's broken body fall through the air. Nappa's body cracked the ground below him, and he went out of his Super Saiyan form, the stress too much for him to overcome.
"What a sight to behold..." Frieza flew downward to his defeated opponent. "The Super Saiyan of Legend, standing before me in humiliating defeat. It's like a dream come true." The lizard now stood over Nappa, basking in the self-adulation of his victory.
"It appears that all this time, I was worried over nothing." Frieza pointed his fingers to Nappa's head, a tiny pink glow of energy forming at the tips.
"When you see King Vegeta in Hell, tell him I said: "Like a bitch.""
Hold on. A faint and unusual sound filled Frieza's ears, causing him to halt his killing. Likewise, on the sidelines, Zarbon, Recoome, Guldo, Captain Ginyu, and King picked up this odd anomaly in the sky. They looked up, and on the edge of the horizon, a glowing purple comet was making their way toward them at tremendous speed.
Frieza let out a sigh of exasperation. "Oh god, what is it now?" None of them could tell what it was inside of that purple comet, but they would quickly find out.
Seconds later, the comet whooshed above of King. The strongest man on the planet was blown away by the wind currents and thrown completely off balance. On Frieza's ship, all four spectators were also pushed back by the air pressure from this unknown comet.
The comet changed its trajectory to move more downward, heading directly toward Frieza and the defeated Nappa. When the comet hit the ground, gusts of wind pressure rushed Frieza. the kinetic energy from this comet's velocity spread throughout the ground and caused Frieza's body to shake like a maraca.
"Wait..." Frieza's eyes widened. The purple energy around this comet was beginning to fade, revealing the comet hidden beneath it. Only it wasn't a comet. The hidden thing wasn't even an object. It was a... person.
When Frieza observed this unknown arrival with more detail, he took note of many peculiar oddities of this newcomer. He wore a plain white shirt and black pants. But coursing all throughout him, a purple glow emanated, filling all holes, crevices, and grooves on his body. He moved his eyes up to look at his face. His eyes had purple sclera with fiery orange irises. And the intensity... Frieza could see in this newcomer's eyes such passionate intensity yet cunning ruthlessness at the same time. He almost looked like a villain.
About one hundred miles away, Dr. Kuseno, Child Emperor, and Metal Knight were beaming in pride and awe at the battlefield being taped through Bofoi's drones. Sitch was the only one who had no idea what this meant.
"So where is the weapon?"
All three scientists stared at Sitch with an "Are you fucking kidding me?" kind of look. "What?"
"The weapon. Shouldn't it have arrived by now? All I see is Demon Cyborg with a different appearance."
"Don't you get it?" said Bofoi, "Genos IS the weapon!" Once Sitch's mind put the pieces together, his face changed from confused to amazed, just like the other three scientists. "Wow..."
Back on the battlefield, Frieza's smile had vanished, and the calm, relaxed demeanor was squashed by a serious and cautious disposition.
"You're quite the interesting fellow there. Who are you?"
The air was moist with apprehension. Curiosity dominated the surrounding. Tension wrapped itself around everyone, waiting for an explanation to who this random stranger was. Genos replied with only two words:
"Your death."
Ba-ba-boom! Alas, the mighty Super Saiyan wasn't a match for Third Form Frieza! I never intended for Nappa to become more powerful than Goku as a Super Saiyan on Namek or anything like that. That would have been ridiculous. Unlike the actual DBZ series, I'll make sure to stick to logical events based on the laws of DBZ and OPM.
Oh, and N2, good job on guessing who would be Frieza's next opponent. I had already had the idea in mind for quite some time though, so yea. Make sure to leave plenty of reviews, and get ready for the battle of Genos vs. Frieza!
