Dragon Ball Fukkatsu

Turles Saga

Chapter 3

Betrayal

The battle was set. The majestic blue aura of Goku's Super Saiyan Blue state provided a sharp contrast with Frieza's golden aura. The two glared at each other for some time. Finally, Frieza smirked, "Well then Son Goku. Are we going to get on with it?"

However, Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan Blue as well, his eyes blazing with fury and his fists clenched, "Frieza's mine. Attend to your son or deal with the other lackeys."

Frieza laughed, "Ohohoho! What's this? You intend to challenge me Vegeta?"

Vegeta scowled, "Kakarot, you better not interfere. This battle is for my pride as a Saiyan."

Frieza smirked, "Heh . . . Saiyan pride. How about I eviscerate that completely from you?!"

Vegeta's blue ki flared up, "Frieza, you must have forgotten about the Tournament of Power. You couldn't even stand up against Top."

Frieza's mind flashed back to the Tournament. Indeed, upon accessing the God of Destruction's form, Top's abilities far outstripped Frieza. The beating was the greatest that Frieza had ever endured. Frieza gripped his fist tightly, "Yes what about it Vegeta?"

Vegeta smiled, "You forget that I was the one who defeated him. Do you intend to compensate for such a big power gap?"

Frieza nodded, "Why yes dear Prince. I do."

Vegeta charged towards Frieza, "Well then, how about I give you a beating greater than anything you've ever endured!"

Meanwhile . . .

Goku stepped down towards the Z Fighters, laying Gohan's body down and feeding him a Senzu Bean.

Gohan looked on, "D-dad . . ."

Goku nodded back, "We'll take it from here Gohan, sorry I came so late."

Immediately, all faces were turned towards Goku. Turles stared at Goku with interest,

"Ah . . . so is this the Godly transformation you were on about?"

Goku glared at Turles, "You're . . . Goku Black?"

Turles frowned, "I don't know who this Goku Black character is. My name is Turles. However . . . your countenance is certainly familiar to me. Are you . . . no . . . could you be . . . Kakarot?"

Goku nodded, "Heh. Kakarot. Here I'm called Son Goku."

With that, Goku relaxed, his blue godly aura dissipating along with his ki. Turles now looked at Goku with interest, "Hm . . . Son Goku? Interesting. Judging by your reaction, it's clear you don't remember me Kakarot."

Goku narrowed his eyes, "Am I supposed to?"

Turles sighed, "What a shame. Us low class warriors have to stick together you know," he pointed towards Vegeta, "I find it hard to believe that you're hanging out with the Prince Vegeta as though you two were good friends."

"Low class? It sounds like you knew me since I was a child."

Turles nodded, "Of course. Kakarot, you were the weakest Saiyan of our generation to be born, with a pitiful power level of 2. Now, it appears, much has changed. But one thing I don't understand," Turles's eyes twitched slightly, "Is how you can stand a brat like HIM!"

The Saiyan pointed to Vegeta with an expression of rage, "He considers himself to be an elite warrior, and yet a low-class like you dare become friends with that trash?"

"Vegeta's changed a lot over the years, you'd be surprised," responded Goku.

Turles gave him a look of disgust, "How pathetic Kakarot. I expected better of you. I was hoping that we'd even come to an alliance. Oh well, guess I'll have to mop up a fellow Saiyan. What a shame . . ."

Goku immediately began formulating a battle strategy, his eyes serious, 'He's a Super Saiyan 2, yet his power is tremendous!'

The Saiyan gave a yell while he pushed off, trying to land a kick towards Turles. The Super Saiyan 2 blocked nonchalantly, and Goku leapt back, transforming into a Super Saiyan instantly. Again, Goku tried a punch, but Turles blocked it. The Super Saiyan 2 smirked, "Come now Kakarot, stop holding back and show me your real strength."

Sparks of electricity suddenly surrounded Goku while Turles laughed, "Wonderful, you're a Super Saiyan 2 now as well!"

Even when the two were both in their Super Saiyan 2 states, there was still an obvious power discrepancy between Goku and Turles. Goku withdrew from the clash quickly, realizing this. Turles laughed again, "How pathetic! Here I thought you'd have some real strength to demonstrate."

Goku smiled, "It's not over yet. I still have three forms I've yet to show you."

An explosion of ki erupted towards Turles while Goku's hair grew and his eyebrows disappeared. An exploding orb of energy surrounded the skies while Goku opened his eyes again, "This . . . is Super Saiyan 3."

Turles nodded, "Yes, Super Saiyan 3. I'm expecting a vastly greater power. Come on, show me that blue-haired transformation already."

Goku charged towards Turles, "Well then, let's see you make me go to Blue!"

The Super Saiyan 2 yelled, "DON'T MOCK ME!"

He dodged Goku's first attack, but Goku had positioned himself for another attack. Turles blocked Goku's fist by catching it, and proceeded to knee and kick back Goku. Goku frantically aimed a punch at Turles. The rushed attack was not unnoticed by Turles, "Hm? That attack seemed a little desperate there."

Goku growled, "Tch . . ."

Goku rammed his knee towards Turles, an attack which was effortlessly blocked by the powered-up Super Saiyan 2.

The Super Saiyan 3 grinned, "Heh, I guess I have no choice."

Turles smiled, "Indeed. Come on, show me your true power."

Flames began flaring up around Goku while he smirked, "You asked for it."

The Saiyan yelled while his ki changed, now, Goku had the attention of all fighters, including Vegeta and Frieza. An immense pressure circulated throughout the battlefield while Turles gave a look of bewilderment, 'This pressure I'm feeling . . . I can't sense his ki either!'

Goku's body was suddenly completely enveloped by the flames he had produced. A majestic aura broke through, destroying the shield of flames. Finally, Goku's red hair shone through the aura, and Turles looked on in shock, "This, this isn't a transformation I'm aware of."

Goku's hand swept through the red aura cleanly and neatly, dispelling it with a silky-smooth touch, "This is Super Saiyan God, the first stage of a Saiyan who's achieved God ki."

Turles stammered, "G-god ki! So this is the form, the form that possesses strength to rival even the Gods!"

The red aura around Goku intensified back into flames, "C'mon Turles. Show me what ya got."

Turles pushed off with his feet, flying at incredible speeds. His speed suddenly increased, but Goku's sharp eye noticed the change. The Super Saiyan God leapt up, dodging Turles's first attack. However, Turles flew up, ready for another shot. Again, Turles's speed increased dramatically, but this time, Goku got a closer look at what was happening, 'He's shifting from Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan 3 in order to catch me by surprise . . . I can't let my guard down against this guy.'

Turles charged towards Goku again, but the same result occurred with the Saiyan dodging elegantly and cleanly. Turles stared back, "Heh . . . you've seen through it huh."

Goku nodded, "You're shifting between Super Saiyan 2 and 3. Why don't you just show me what you've got in Super Saiyan 3?"

Turles shook his head, "No, I won't reveal that form in its entirety just yet. For now . . ."

He grabbed a Fruit from the Tree of Might out of a sack, and Goku's eyes widened, "That fruit. All that malicious ki coming from it, and all those screams! Just what the hell is that?!"

Turles calmly bit into the fruit without answering Goku's question. The Super Saiyan 2 bulked up, and then smiled, "Ah, the fruit? It's merely something that allows me to obtain infinite power."

Goku clenched his fists, "Those screams . . . that wasn't natural at all! Just what the hell did you put into that fruit - the souls of others?!"

Turles appeared behind Goku in a flash, "No time to worry about that!"

Goku blocked Turles's elbow with a ki blast charged in his hand, and then he yelled, "KAMEHAMEHA!"

Turles dodged the blast, and wiped off a sweat bead, 'That attack would've been trouble for sure.'

Goku's face now burned with fury, as he used Instant Transmission to appear in front of Turles, "You monster!"

He kicked Turles into the ground, and proceeded to charge at him again. Turles pointed his fingers up quickly, "Dash Strike!"

A series of dark beams flew out of his hand, flying wildly and flying in separate areas. All of them conjoined to meet Goku as their target, but Goku was ready. He placed his hands closer to his body, and then thrust them to the side, releasing a torrent of red energy that countered the attack. Turles growled, "You're a slippery one aren't you?"

The two met fists in the center, generating a massive blast of energy that destroyed several plateaus. All eyes were fixed on the two, including Frieza, whose face revealed a look of betrayal, 'He's not even in the same form Goku is in, and yet he's so damn powerful? Is this bastard of a monkey hiding something from me?!'

However, Goku still had the advantage. While Turles attempted to fire a quick jab, Goku flew in the air, soaring down with a kick that met Turles's jaw. Then, Goku leapt back and fired a kiai shockwave from his hand, hurtling Turles into several mountains. Turles recovered, his body bruised and somewhat battered. Goku stared at him with silent anger, "Well, don't you think it's time to show your true power? I'll crush your Super Saiyan 3 form."

Turles nodded, "Fine then, but don't blame me if I get too carried away!"

A violet blast of energy struck the battlefield while Turles transformed into a Super Saiyan 3 instantly, "Well then, let's see how you fare against this form, God."

Goku prepared himself, getting into a combat stance, but Turles had vanished into a speeding bullet, appearing behind Goku instantly. Goku's mouth opened in shock when he heard Turles's voice behind him, "What's wrong? My speed too great for you, 'God?'"

Goku turned around to face Turles, but the Saiyan disappeared again. Goku knew where he'd go this time, and blocked instinctively. The attack hit right where Goku had expected it to, but the force still sent him several inches back. Turles's figure vanished again, appearing behind Goku. Goku reacted immediately, meeting Turles's punch with his own. Despite blocking Turles's attack, Goku's fist was shaking, 'Damn it! He's so much more powerful than a regular Super Saiyan 3!'

The Super Saiyan God leapt back, 'I'll just need to wait for the strain to get the better of him.'

Turles charged towards Goku again, "Come on! Surely you don't think that you can defeat me with that power!"

Goku attempted to meet Turles's attack with his fist, but Turles disappeared, and then appeared behind him. Turles gave a laugh of glee while he slammed his foot into Goku's back, kicking him back. Now, Turles quickly charged up a ring of energy from his hand, "Kill Driver!"

The ring flew straight at Goku at astonishing speeds. Suddenly, a heavy pressure was exuded upon the battlefield.

A sudden outpouring of blue ki rose up and slammed away the ring of energy. Turles raised an eyebrow, "This is the blue-haired form you showed up with isn't it!"

The mountain revealed shimmers of a blue energy, and then exploded while a glorious rush of azul proliferated through the air. Goku walked forward, his hair erect, and his aura a mighty blue flame. The Super Saiyan Blue wasted no time, immediately leaping outwards, his knee raised and his eyes serious. With a scowl, Goku vanished and appeared again behind Turles. The Super Saiyan 3 had been anticipating this though, and he turned around, meeting Goku's punch with his own. Goku nodded slowly, "Not bad."

Turles spoke in his silk-smooth voice, "This is the godly transformation you were hiding huh Goku? How pathetic. Instead of embracing your true Saiyan roots you've decided to imitate the power of Gods."

Goku stepped back from the exchange, "True Saiyan roots? Just what are you talking about?"

Turles relaxed his hands to his side, "While you were fighting in Super Saiyan 3 I noticed a certain trait about your attacks. You were attacking frantically, and thus giving me more openings to expose."

Goku nodded, "Yeah, and?"

Turles pointed towards his tail, "I conjectured that your Super Saiyan 3 form must have been imperfect - it must have drained energy at a faster rate than your two God transformations. In fact, the transformation was pushing you with heavy strain. However, my Super Saiyan 3 has no such power drainage, and it's all thanks to the tail."

"What?! The tail?! What are you on about?" exclaimed Goku.

Goku's eyes traveled towards Turles's tail, while Turles laughed, "You impudent fool. In trying to imitate a God, all you've done is lose your Saiyan roots. That's why all of your Super Saiyan forms, with the exception of your first, are unmastered. I can remain in Super Saiyan 3 indefinitely because I stayed true to my ancestors. It's pathetic really, you and Prince Vegeta have rid yourselves of the most powerful Saiyan weapon."

Vegeta growled, "Tch . . . he dares to lecture me about Saiyan pride?!"

Frieza laughed, "Ohohoho! What an interesting companion I've found!"

Piccolo narrowed his eyes, "I don't like where this is going."

Amond smiled, "You're right not to. What you've been thinking . . . is correct!"

Piccolo's eyes widened, and he turned towards Goku immediately, "Goku, FINISH HIM NOW!"

Goku looked up in surprise, "Piccolo, what's with the rush! He's just about to show me his true power!"

The Namekian yelled, "Goku you fool! Don't let this be like your other opponents, finish him off now!"

Goku nodded, and then glared at Turles, "Alright. Let's end this Turles!"

The aura of Goku's Super Saiyan Blue state exploded, overriding the yellow aura of Turles's Super Saiyan 3 state. Turles got into a defensive stance, 'That Namekian is sharp. This could be trouble.'

Goku pushed off with his fist forward, "Come on Turles!"

Turles charged as well, but Goku's strength proved superior and he managed to kick Turles back. The battles around the fighters now begun, with each having seen their share of the battles. Piccolo turned towards Amond, "Well then . . . I'll have to finish you off and then rush off to help Goku."

Amond's eyes were still fixated on Goku and Turles, "Incredible. That Saiyan is actually giving Lord Turles a hard time!"

Piccolo arched his neck back a little, "Yeah . . . Goku's gotten even stronger now . . ."

Suddenly, Amond's voice yelled out, "Gotcha!"

But Piccolo swiftly swerved to the right, dodging the red beam that Amond had unleashed. The Namekian gave a smirk towards Amond, "Not today."

Amond growled in anger, and then kicked off towards Piccolo, "You cocky Namekian!"

Piccolo steadied himself, and then multiple versions of Piccolo split and formed from the stance. Amond staggered a bit in shock, "Wh-what?"

All of them began pointing their fingers to their foreheads, charging a beam of energy that crackled with intense purple electricity. A Piccolo raised his arm out, "Special Beam Cannon!"

Amond's eyes widened while he barely dodged the drilling attack, 'Damn! That was meant to be a killing blow!'

He had no time to recollect his thoughts, because a second yell quickly came out, "Special Beam Cannon!"

This time, the beam entered and pierced Amond's forearm. Red blood began spurting out of the hole, and Amond grabbed it immediately, "Damn it . . . what the hell type of attack is that?!"

Meanwhile . . .

Android 17 turned towards the Z Fighters and the remaining henchmen of Turles, "I'll handle these guys. Don't worry."

Gohan flew down next to him, already in his Ultimate form, "You might need a little help there 17. I'll take on the twins."

17 fixed his gaze upon the orange alien who had knocked down Yamcha and Master Roshi, "Well then, you're my opponent . . ."

A massive breeze passed through the battlefield while Vegeta gave a yell, "Take this Frieza!"

A solid punch knocked back the Golden Emperor, but Frieza recovered, "Imperial Crusher!"

A violent ball of crimson energy slowly began to take shape in Frieza's hand, while the Emperor gloated, "This sphere has the power to eradicate several universes! I hope you're ready Vegeta, this is my ultimate attack!"

Particles of purple, blue, and red were absorbed into the crimson ball, and at last Frieza threw his hand forward, releasing the attack, "Begone monkey!"

Vegeta smirked, and then charged up his blue ki until it became a dark cobalt, "You forget Frieza, that I have a form which defeated a God of Destruction!"

As he spoke, his hair and eyes grew darker, and his biceps enlarged. The dark blue aura exploded in magnitude, generating a gigantic spark visible from light years away. Frieza covered his eyes from the bright light while Vegeta yelled, "You said this was your ultimate attack? Well allow me to meet it with my own ultimate attack! Gamma . . ."

Vegeta placed both of his hands behind his body, both of them charging massive onslaughts of raw, untamed God ki. He began placing his hand forward, "Burst . . ."

At last, the Saiyan's eyes widened while he released the attack, "FLASH!"

A great yellow energy beam roared through the sky, ramming headfirst into Frieza's Imperial Crusher. Frieza gasped, "How could this be?! How can his attack be standing up to mine?!"

Vegeta's aura intensified again, while the Gamma Burst Flash began pushing Frieza's attack back. Frieza immediately knew how he would have to react. The Emperor quickly procured a Fruit from the Tree of Might and devoured it voraciously. Then, he placed his hand forward, "I will not die here Saiyan!"

A purple blast pushed back the Imperial Crusher, until a blinding flash consumed the Earth while all three energy attacks disappeared into nothingness. A moment of silence unfolded from the two fighters, and then Vegeta scowled, "What the hell was that just now? Your power spiked up considerably for no reason."

Frieza smiled, "Come on Vegeta. I thought I told you that I had taken precautions against your transformation."

Vegeta responded with his own smile, "Really Frieza? That was it? If you think bumping up your power randomly will do anything against a regal Saiyan power like this, you're dead wrong."

Vegeta's fists were suddenly enveloped by a dark azure ki, "Come on Frieza!"

Without waiting for Frieza to respond, the evolved Super Saiyan Blue disappeared. When he reappeared, he was right under Frieza. It took only a second for Frieza to react, but it was a second too late. Vegeta had dealt a solid uppercut to Frieza's jaw, forcing a stream of blood out of Frieza's mouth.

Meanwhile, Turles was similarly backed into a corner, and both Turles and Frieza fell next to each other. Goku and Vegeta stood, side by side, both dominant in their respective battles. Turles turned towards Frieza, "What the hell? You can't even keep Prince Vegeta down!"

Frieza merely laughed, "Ohohoho. You're a silly one if you think that I was planning on continuing my alliance with you."

Turles's eyes widened, "What?!"

A Death Beam suddenly pierced his breast, eliciting a gasp of shock from Turles. Goku watched on calmly, "Same old Frieza . . ."

Frieza grabbed the bag next to Turles, "Thank you for these wondrous fruits though! I'm sure they will come of use. Ohohoho!"

A gigantic spaceship suddenly came into the view of the Z Fighters. Frieza levitated up slowly, flying towards the spaceship with his back turned to it, "Don't fret. My vengeance will be far greater than this little farce. In the meantime, do take care of this last monkey for me will you?"

Vegeta flew over, chasing Frieza in a hot pursuit, "You're not getting away Frieza!"

In a slick motion, Frieza grabbed out a fruit from the bag and consumed it. Then, he formed a gigantic purple sphere of energy. Vegeta stopped giving chase, as Frieza fired the attack. The Emperor laughed, "That sphere contains enough energy to destroy this planet and kill all of you! You'll have other problems to deal with right now than my escape. Ohohoho!"

Vegeta flew back towards the Earth, "Damn you Frieza!"

Goku stared at the incoming blast, charging up a Kamehameha wave with his hand. Meanwhile, Turles clutched his chest in pain. The Saiyan grabbed one last fruit, and then bit into it. A sea of dark lightning passed over the Earth, and Turles stood up. The Super Saiyan 3 gave a silent laugh while he formed a bright white energy ball with his hand.

Thank you for reading up until now! Just to make a little note, I used Top as the name for Toppo, because that is the official English dub name (of Toppo). Also, the characters are based off the English Dub, in which Goku still has a righteous fury inside of him (shown in his first confrontation with Frieza), and is more volatile and righteous than the Japanese version of Goku. Please do leave reviews, I'm a beginning writer and I'm always looking for ways to improve!
