Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball (Z/Super/GT) or its characters.
Author Notes: Boy it has been some time since my last update, really sorry guys. I had so much to do this month and I really didn't feel like writing... I will explain it a bit more on the PS part.
For now, I hope you guys enjoy this one.
"After so long… I can see for myself again." Ghill held the broken Omega Blade on his left hand, raising it close to his face. "A bittersweet freedom, to repent on my mistakes." His eyes glared at the broken weapon, anger and grief showing on his face; the warrior sheathed what was left of his legendary weapon, holding it back on his belt.
Wiping away the remaining tears on his cheeks, Ghill walked over to the devastated village and started to search between the ruined houses. It took but a few minutes for him to walk back from the debris with his prize on hands, the Dragon Ball of three stars. He approached the saiyan prince and dropped the ball on the ground once again.
"I know almost nothing about you, saiyan prince. But, I will never forget what you did today." With a heavy sigh, Ghill reached for Asparus' shoulders and slowly pushed the prince's body against the ground, straightening his body to a more normal resting posture. "To think that I would let an ancient relic take control over me… But alas, this is not my burden anymore." He took out the belt of the sword's sheath, placing the destroyed Omega Blade on top of Asparus' chest, in between the prince's hands. "Again… Thank you for being strong, where I failed to be." The white-haired swordsman grabbed the Dragon ball and placed it beside Asparus' body, and then he raised himself from the ground, his eyes still glaring sadly at his former opponent.
"Why the hell are you pitying someone you just killed?!" Vegeta's angered voice stormed around the quiet island. "Thanking him for saving you, are you mocking him?"
Ghill slowly turned away from Asparus, his eyes landing at two new stranger glaring at him. "I don't know you…" He looked away from them, staring at the cloudy sky.
A vein popped on Vegeta's forehead, his little patience quickly running out, as he charged head on against Ghill. "I asked you a question, you cocky bastard." Vegeta's fist exploded against Ghill's hand, a thunderous sound coming out of the exchange.
The swordsman grabbed the older saiyan prince's hand and pulled him in, smashing his right knee onto Vegeta's stomach, but the saiyan barely flinched. "I was pitying myself for being so weak; I can't feel pity for a warrior that gave his life while fighting for something he believed in." With a quick movement of his arm, Ghill pushed Vegeta away from him.
"So you just start sobbing every time you win a battle? Or just the ones that you lose a precious toy?" Despite the taunting remark, Vegeta's expression is getting angrier by the seconds. "I will give you a proper reason to cry, after I show you the real strength of the saiyan race."
Ghill stared at his new opponent, a newfound curiosity picking up his attention. "Another saiyan?" His eyes slowly shifted to Goku, a strange realization coming to his mind, making a short smile appear on his lips. "Son Goku, the so called troublemaker…" Ghill laughed quietly, holding his orange eyes closed.
"You know about me?" Goku leaned his head a bit to the side, staring curiously at Ghill.
"Of course I know about you and about the bad tempered saiyan prince of the seventh universe, Vegeta." Ghill relaxed his body, any intention he had to fight, now completely gone. "If I remember correctly, you two are the only reason why we came to the sixth universe, instead of the seventh."
"So after learning about us, you worms choose to attack a weaker universe? Pathetic." Vegeta spat annoyed.
"It was not my call, if it were my decision; I would go to the seventh universe and killed both of you in a fair fight and taken the two set of Dragon Balls that exist there. However, my 'master' chose not to, way too much trouble he says." Ghill shrugged.
"Hooo, so you think that you can beat us?" Vegeta cracked his fists, another vein popping up. "I will gladly take you on that-" For a moment he froze in place and turned his sight to the sky far away from them. A powerful ki flared up far away on Namek, getting his attention.
"This is not your fight nor your vengeance to claim." Ghill eyed Asparus laying on the ground. "As you can feel, someone is flying towards us. I presume is one of them.
"So what are you going to do?" Vegeta asked, surprisingly, in a calm voice.
The warrior sighed and glanced to the burned grassy field to his side. "I will take responsibility for my actions or face the consequences of them… Whatever you may call it." His feet floated out of the ground, slowly taking him up to the sky. "It's a shame really, after hearing so much about you, I really wanted to beat you two." Without another word, Ghill flared up an aura of silver ki around him and flew away from the island.
Goku watched silently as the warrior vanished away. "Are you sure that you want to let him leave?" He asked in a serious voice.
Vegeta kept quiet, his eyes now focused on the young saiyan laying on the ground just ahead of him. He walked close to Asparus and crouched at his side.
"Oi Vegeta, are you listening to me?" Goku raised his voice.
"He is right, that is not our fight." Vegeta gave a short reply, his attention going back to where it was. "Even on the face of death, he did not gave in… Like a saiyan should be." His eyes trailed to the Dragon Ball shining with the sun light, a frown forming on his face.
"I don't get it, even if he is a saiyan, you are awfully close to him, aren't you?" Goku let a funny small laugh out. "I guess you do have a soft spot for another saiyans."
"Shut up Kakarot!" The princed yelled back, frustration and annoyance growing on him. "To fall in battle is something a Saiyan can accept, but that changes when Freeza is the one you are fighting." Vegeta turned and stared at Goku.
"Yeah, I can feel them fighting even from here." Goku glanced to the side, a frown showing on his face. "The fact that Freeza is terrorizing more people is my fault… Let's go Vegeta." Goku placed two fingers on his forehead and extended the other hand to his comrade.
"Go on ahead; I cannot leave the Dragon Ball here on the open." Vegeta clenched his hands, his eyes clearly not looking at the orange ball.
Goku noticed to where Vegeta's eyes are looking. 'If you were worried about the dragon ball, we could easily carry it with us.' He smiled sadly and nodded with his head. "Then, I will go on ahead; I really want to see their fight too." Then with a gush of wind, Goku disappeared, leaving Vegeta by himself.
"I saw your resolve. You proved your honor as a prince; it was like watching my own son fight..." Vegeta punched the ground, sinking the grass into the dirt. "And I couldn't save you…."
"Where is Lettu?" The young saiyan's mother entered the living room, holding a wooden spoon on her left hand. She eyed her husband, who is sitting on a large chair, holding a large book on his hands.
"Hm?! Last time I saw him, he was outside punching a tree." The older saiyan man took his gaze away from the pages of his book to look at his wife. "I still don't get why he is doing that. Is he mad about something?"
"I can't believe he is sneaking out to do that." She puffed her cheeks, glaring at the windows. "Who put this idea on his head?"
"What, punching trees?" Her husband let out a small laugh, eyeing her curiously. "Kids always find strange ways to play, I wouldn't worry about it."
"Don't be so easygoing, Lettu is not simply playing by himself…" She swung her spoon around in the air, like a weapon. "Just earlier he was talking about being a soldier and entering the force."
"Oh… So he is training?" He mused with a hand on his chin. "Haha, he got me on this. To be interest on the force on his age."
"THIS IS NOT FUNNY!" With a fierce shout, she clapped the wall with her free hand, startling her husband. "He is way too young to be talking about this. I won't allow it!"
"Honey, what's the matter?" With a calm voice and slow sigh, he closed his book and stood up from his seat, walking closer to his wife. "You never spoke against it when Cabba decided to be a soldier, why are you so worked up now?"
"Lettu is too young for that… And if at the time I knew that Cabba would spend so much time away and being on danger, I would never allow him to join too… I barely see him for days, now even weeks."
"Look, I miss our boy too, but he is an adult now. He got a very important job and people rely on him, I could spend the whole day talking on how proud I am of him." The saiyan man smiled warmly to her and caressed her left cheek with his right hand. "I will go have a talk with Lettu, get this sorted out and see what is on his mind, how about that?"
"Okay…" She gazed at him with sweet eyes, like she used to do on her younger days. "I'm worried about him and this sudden change on him, but I will leave this to you."
With a quick kiss on his wife cheek, the older saiyan man walked over to bookshelf, putting his book back on it and taking a small piece of cloth from a drawer. After walking out of the house, he quickly spotted his younger son, still punching away on a big tree on their backyard. After being at it for so long, Lettu's hands are showing a bit of red and a few scratches on it, his face twisting at each punch he throws at the large trunk.
"Lettu, why don't you take a break and have a sit with me?"
At first, the boy looked disheartened, but his father's warm smile quickly won over him. "Okay dad, but I need to keep training if I want to be a strong warrior like…" He stopped mid-sentence, looking away for a moment.
"Strong like Cabba, right?" He welcomed his son at his side, patting him on his head.
"Yeah, I want to be strong like big brother." Lettu nodded with a smile.
"Well ever since you know him, you brother has being part of the defense force. What made you want join the soldier's ranks now?" With a sly smile, the father leaned in closer to Lettu. "Is because of Caulifla?"
"NO, I mean… I like her too. But…" Lettu turned really red, looking away from his father. "I just want to be cool like them."
"Ahh, I can relate to that. But that is not the way to go." The older saiyan man gazed upwards to the sky. "I understand your admiration of those two, but being a soldier is a really serious matter."
"But I am serious, I really want to be a soldier." The young boy looked up, with saddened eyes. "I can't?"
"Let me tell you a story about your brother. When he was young, just a bit older than you are right now, he come to me and talked of how he wanted to be a soldier." Lettu's father looked down to his son, but his mind seeing a younger Cabba on him, bringing a nostalgic smile to the man's lips. "I asked him why he wanted to be a soldier, with me not being on the defense force, that really got my interest. Know what he told me?"
Lettu only shook his head in response, his eyes shining with expectation to hear the rest.
"He told me that he wanted to follow his own path, and that being a soldier was his natural calling." The man raised his right hand, showing up the light green bandana that he brought from the house. "I could see on his eyes a fire that I never saw before. He was being true to himself and I respected his choice. Now, Lettu. I ask you this, do you want to follow your brother's footsteps or trail a path of your own?"
"I…" The boy made his best efforts to follow his father's reasoning, his face showing a bit of confusion from the sudden serious question.
"Hahah, maybe that was a bit too much for you. For now, take this." He handed over the bandana to his son. "Cabba used to wear this when he first started his training to become a soldier, I kept it safe just in case… Anyway, I will help you with your training, I may not look like much, but I can fight too."
"Really?" Lettu jumped from the ground in excitement. "Will you train me, dad?"
"You bet and when you decide on your answer, I will hear you out, deal?"
"Deal!" The boy smiled cheerfully and grabbed his father's hand in a firm handshake.
"It seems that you are a bit stronger than the last time we fought." Freeza said with an evil smirk, his fist flying at Cabba, who blocked the hit with ease. "But still, you are a mere insect waiting to be crushed."
Cabba responded with a punch of his own, his strike clashing against the villain's left arm. "I'm more than a bit stronger, now I have the power to destroy you." Cabba's golden aura exploded in size, growing twice of what is was; his hair fluttering around with the wind waves.
"Know your place, worm." Freeza's fingers twitched in anger, veins popping up on his forehead. "I have far long surpassed my fear of the super saiyan. And so have my powers." A bright light shined from his body, his white skin turning into gold, his ki erupting in a massive wave of power. "Now, regret the day you chose to stand in my way, saiyan scum."
Freeza flew at a blinding speed, both of his knees exploding on Cabba's abdomen. The young soldier cried out in pain, a taste of blood rushing to his mouth and before he could react to the strike, Freeza's tail flew sideways, hitting him directly on his face, making the saiyan flew spinning away.
"Do you see now, ape?" Freeza jumped on top of Cabba, kicking his opponent on the left side. "You're inferior in every way to the savages of planet Vegeta and I destroyed all of them." Another kick came in, making Cabba grunt in pain. "How to you hope of destroying me, huh?"
With a swift action, Cabba rolled over to the side, forcing Freeza away from him. He then jumped back on his feet, a line of blood running down on his mouth. He silently stared at his opponent, his bright greenish-blue eyes glaring furiously at the evil emperor.
"Those eyes… those defiant eyes." Freeza clenched his fists, a sadist smile appearing on his lips. "I will break your resolve, together with all of your bones!" He flew in, holding his left arm behind him, when he got close enough to his target, his fist zoomed in forward aiming for the saiyan's head.
Cabba raised his right hand up, catching Freeza's hand midair, his fingers pressing violently on the alien's skin. "I told you…" His grasp got more and more stronger, enough to make Freeza gasp in pain. "I will destroy you." Cabba's ki aura went wild, expanding even more, then turning into a whirlwind of energy, a bright blue light emerging from his body, turning itself into the core of the energy's light.
"What is this light?" Freeza tried to pull his arm away to no avail. "Let go of me your-" Before he could go on with his ramble, Cabba's right fist exploded on Freeza's face, hitting square on his left eye. The evil emperor yelled in pain, his head jerked backwards as his body flew away to hit a massive rock on the end of the giant island.
Cabba held his fist up, glaring at the Freeza kneeled on the ground. "Face it Freeza, you are going to die again at the hands of a saiyan warrior."
"You damned ape…" Freeza quickly got up to his feet, his eyes bright red with anger. "I will kill you. I WILL KILL YOU." The furious emperor engulfed himself in his purple ki, making him even more stronger and faster. He darted from the spot where he landed to where Cabba is, his fist came raging from afar, surprising the saiyan with a punch on his face. Then other two punches connected on Cabba's torso, taking a grunt out of him. "See, this is the difference between us." Another punch flied in, hitting Cabba on the head. "Now beg for mercy and maybe I will kill you faster."
A powerful sound echoed throughout the entire place, Freeza's eyes rolled back as his head jerked backwards again, without even realizing Cabba's right fist exploded on the villain's chin. With nothing left to say, the saiyan soldier went forward, rushing towards Freeza and unleashing a furious flurry of blows.
As the tyrant's soldiers landed back on the island after being blow away by Asparus attack, one of them pointed to his master and gasped in shock. "Impossible… Lord Freeza is losing?!"
"How can this be?" Another one jumped forward, gripping his fist tightly in front of him. "Where is that guy with a sword?"
"I never trusted that guy." The third one yelped in surprise after his eyes got a glimpse of someone standing in very tall and tiny island to the far left of the village. "Is that him?" He pointed at the mysterious figure with one finger.
"What? Where?!" The first one focused his eyes on the direction where his comrade is pointing. "I see no sword on that one." As his eyes adjusted to the distance, he could finally see a bit more clearly who as standing on top of the island; the first things to stand out was the orange gi and the jet black spiked hair of the stranger. "That, that, THAT IS SON GOKU!"
"Son Goku?!" All the others soldiers yelled at the same time.
"Why is he sitting over there?" A soldier asked surprised. "How did he get here?"
"What do we do?" Another one said, his legs trembling with fear.
"We have to help lord Freeza, without him we're dead." As one soldier jumped forward, all the others followed.
"Aim at his back, now!" The supposed leader of the group yelled and fired an energy blast towards Cabba, all his comrades followed his example and fired an attack of them own.
Still in the middle of his onslaught, Cabba noticed the combined attack coming at him. His bright eyes turned away from Freeza, gazing at the considerable big wave of energy flying at him; the saiyan soldier turned to face the attack and with a swing of his right arm, deflect it away.
With no moment for a pause, a circular beam of pink energy clashed at the saiyan's back, splashing blood on his clothes. "Oia, what's the matter imprudent ape? Did someone tore a hole on your back?" Freeza said with a taunting voice, his eyes burning with an undying hatred.
"Lord Freeza!" One soldier called out.
"A fine good job, you lot." Freeza smirked maliciously, blood dripping from various wounds open on his face. "Why don't we put this scourge to rest?" He pointed his right index finger at Cabba, a little ball of energy forming in front of it.
Cabba glared at Freeza, ignoring the pain on his back. "I will not stop." He vanished away, appearing right in front of the evil emperor. "Even if an army was standing before me!" He brought his left fist down aiming at Freeza, but before he could hit his target, another combined energy wave flied at him. However, this time the attack hit him directly on his new wound, making the soldier bent over in pain.
Freeza took the opportunity to kick the saiyan on his chin, sending him flying away. "Such fierce words from a maggot." He laughed in amusement. "Face it saiyan, you are going to die by my hands." The evil tyrant went on another fit of laugher, all his lackeys following suit and laughing away in mockery.
"Freeza…" Cabba stood up, his eyes scanning both his hateful opponent and his minions on the other side.
Freeza lifted his finger up once again, making all his soldiers raise them hands charging their own attacks. "Come mister saiyan, rush forward to your death."
Kefla stopped in the air, she glanced to all sides looking for something… for someone. "Where is it? I can't feel him anymore. Why can't I feel his ki anymore?" She felt her heart sink in a pit of despair, a terrible feeling taking over her. The fused girl growled in annoyance as her eyes scanned every island below her.
A big ball of silver energy flew in from behind the clouds, going after the fused girl. Kefla smashed the ball away, shifting her gaze to the clouds ahead of her.
"Looking for someone?" Ghill glided forward, showing a defiant smirk on his lips. "Wait, I don't know you…" He stared at her ears and a familiar glint of light got his attention. "I see, potara fusion. That is why your ki is so familiar."
"You!" Kefla snarled in anger. "Where is Asparus?" She asked loudly.
"I can't judge your strength by just looking at you, but I guess you're pretty strong, huh?" Ghill mused to himself, a creepy smile showing on his lips.
Kefla rushed in, grabbing the warrior by his left arm. "I asked you a question, Where is he?"
In response to her demands, Ghill pulled Kefla in, and smashed his right fist on her forehead. She pulled herself backwards, rubbing the red spot on her skin. "Come saiyan girl, show me your worth."
"You freak… I will get you to tell me where he is. Even if I have to beat an answer out of you." The voice of Kale and Caulifla came out equally as aggravated. She waited not even a second to jump back at Ghill, firing punch after punch towards him.
Without his weapon, Ghill couldn't blink around in a white blur anymore, instead he dodged and parried her strikes in a normal way, but, he still is unbelievable fast with his movements; in truth without the omega blade, he moves way faster than before, like his body was released from a heavy weight that held him down.
"Is that all you got?" Ghill taunted Kefla, his face showing an irritated frown. "The saiyan prince put way more of a fight than this."
"What did you say?" Kefla pressed her attacks even more. "So you did fight him. WHERE IS HE?" Her strikes became faster and stronger, one by one her punches started to break through Ghill's defense.
One, two, three punches connected directly onto the warrior's torso, forcing him to push back and distance himself from Kefla. "What a brute strength." He rubbed his chest with an amused smile. "This can get interesting if you lose yourself a bit more." He provoked Kefla once again, his gaze oozing malicious intent.
"You want more power?" Kefla asked, her patience almost running out. The Caulifla side of her, urging to obliterate Ghill, while the Kale side is almost losing her mind to an unbearable rage. "Then, take this." Concentrating her power in one hand, Kefla fired a powerful beam of spiral red and green energy.
Ghill raised both hands up, blocking the blunt of the attack with a ki wave of silver energy. Unfortunately for the warrior, his energy was quickly engulfed by Kefla's attack, leaving him exposed to the majority of Kefla's destructive power.
"Huh? No sword this time?" Kefla said with a smirk. "What's the matter, did you lose your precious toy?"
"Haha, yeah I did." Ghill wiped the smoke away from his body, a crooked smile appearing on his lips, his eyes averting to the side, gazing away in a saddened reminisce of the past. "I will indulge you in your question." He looked into Kefla's eyes, his threatening expression coming back. "I indeed lost my sword, as did the saiyan prince loose his life."
Kefla froze in place, her mind not wanting to believe what she just heard. "What…?" Her eyes closing as a few tears began to fall on her cheeks. Her hair began to grow and raise, changing in color as her power started to sky rocket out of control. "What did you do to him?!" She yelled with all her might, her powerful ki erupting in a massive green aura around her.
'Aren't you a bit too quiet?' Asparus' voice rung on Kefla's mind, a memory of Kale coming back to her. 'See, you look very good with a smile.' Another fragment of a memory flashing up before her eyes. 'I don't feel lonely anymore… not with you at my side.'
"Here it comes." Ghill posed himself with both arms protecting him, out of nowhere Kefla appeared in front of him, smashing both of her fists onto the warrior, sending him crashing down into an island far below her.
"How could you?!" She yelled fiercely again, her aura expanding more and more, as her muscles began to grow even more. For the first time, Kefla is losing her battle against the wild nature of Kale, the prevailing persona of Caulifla getting subdue by Kale's uncontrollable rage. "I WILL KILL YOU!"
"Hey old man, has been a long time since you called me to have lunch." Beano said in a loud voice as he entered the restaurant.
His twin brother eyed him, a chirp smirk on his lips. "Who are you calling old man? You are just as old as me."
"And yet I look way younger than you." Beano took a sit on a chair across the table, waving at the waiters. "So, what gives this rare invite of yours?"
"I just wanted to spend some time with my brother, what is wrong with that?" Greeno let out a little laugh, taking his eyes to the table in front of him. "Not buying it, are you?"
"Not one bit." His brother raised an eyebrow. "What's is the matter Greeno?"
"I'm thinking of retiring myself from the force." The soldier said with a sad smile.
"You? Out of duty?!" Beano snorted and waved one hand. "Sorry, that is just something I can't get a grasp on. What made you think about that?"
"The king passed the trial over to Asparus, so when he is back…"
"He will be the new king." Beano nodded his head. "What of it, you always loved that boy."
"Not only that, he will also get to know that we are his relatives and so much more." Greeno let out a heavy sigh. "I can only imagine how he will react."
"He still doesn't know? You practically raised the kid and he doesn't know that you are his uncle?" Beano frowned and hit his left hand on the table. "That's wrong!"
"That was his parents' decision, we have no say in that. Still that is not the only reason why I want to retire." Greeno eyed his brother again. "With the king stepping down, I think is time for the young ones to take over, it's just natural. But they can't do that, if we old folk stand in their way."
"Aye, I can see reason on that. Hell, I even stepped away when Cabba came around, a young saiyan as the new ace of the Defense Force." Beano smirk happily. "The best decision I ever made."
"Got that tired of fighting?" Greeno asked in a joke.
"Not tired, I think I would never get tired of that. But being a soldier was everything for me, and there is more on life than just fighting the good fight." The veteran warrior tilted his chair to the side, getting a clear view of one waitress. "Like finding a good company to spend some quality time together." He noticed the woman looking back at him and winked with one eye, making the girl blush and look away.
"Please behave, father would smack both of us if you make another 'fuss' with one of his employees."
"Get used to it brother, when you step away from the army, there will be plenty of time to spend with some women." Beano's lips curved in a mischievous smirk. "Maybe you can make a kid of your own, how about that?"
"Maybe, ahem… A topic for another time." Greeno got flustered with his brother's words, he adjusted himself on his chair, averting his eyes away. "How about we order some food?"
"Hahaha, sure." Beano raised his right arm, waving to the woman standing next to the counter. "Hey love, how about you bring us today's menu?"
Cabba fell with one knee on the ground, his hands trembling; not with fear, but pure anger and anxiety. He has knocked away more than three soldiers from Freeza's army. However, his situation didn't get any better. Any time he tried to attack Freeza, the lackeys fired an attack at him and when he focused on dispatching the weaklings on the side, Freeza jumped at the opportunity to attack the saiyan solider.
"I have to say, I'm really enjoying your face right now." Freeza taunted him. "Confused, lost, angry. Ahh… the suffering of a saiyan really brings me joy."
"Scream for us, scum!" One soldier fired an energy wave at Cabba.
The saiyan turned and bashed the attack away, just to get hit by another death beam from Freeza. After taking so many of those, Cabba doesn't even react anymore, and the only indications of him being hit, are the new strains of blood running down on his back.
"Are you regretting sending the girl away?" Freeza said in a mocking tone. "Maybe shouldn't have fallen prey to that pride of yours. The saiyan pride, the most useless trait about you and your biggest weakness." The lack of response from his opponent, worsened the villain's mood, making him raise his hand and fire five pink beams consecutively.
Cabba jumped away from his spot, evading the attack. But then again a wave of combined energy exploded on his back. The saiyan finally snapped, his aura grew three times its size as he charged a beam on his right hand. "Raaahh, Take this!" He shouted in anger as he fired his attack at Freeza.
With no effort at all, Freeza jumped away evading the energy, but as his eyes tried to spot the saiyan, he finally realized the purposed of this attack.
"How?!" One of the soldiers asked in shock.
Cabba had vanished from his spot and appeared on top of the soldiers, holding both of his hands behind his right side. "Super Gallick Ho!" The young saiyan unleashed a massive wave of purple energy, quickly blasting away all soldiers that were attacking him. After eliminating the smaller threat, he fell down to his knee again, his aura completely vanishing. Leaving only his golden blond hair left from his transformation.
"Well done, worm." Slow claps echoed from the emperor's hands, as he started to make his way to Cabba. "You still had in you to kill all my soldiers, and here I thought I could keep some of them this time."
With a slow turn of his head, Cabba gazed at his opponent. His breath getting heavier by the moment, a sign that his transformation is soon to run out.
The footstep's sounds getting closer and closer, as Freeza is now a few meters away from Cabba. "Still, it was a fun little exchange we had here." He cracked one of his fists, smiling like a devil. "But I don't want you to worry your pretty little head. After I kill you, I will go after those saiyan girls and I will destroy them too." He gasped and took one hand to his lips. "Wait, I have an even better idea. I will make them my little pet slaves, just like I did with Vegeta way back then."
"You're pathetic." With a cool and calm voice, the saiyan replied to the villain's threats.
"What did you say?" Freeza glared at him. "You sure have courage, you damned ape."
Cabba forced his way up, standing on both feet in a renewed resolve. "You can't bring me down with your power nor with the help of your goons. So you start to spill venom, trying to make me lose control… You are the most pathetic creature I have ever fought."
Freeza's attempt to unsettled Cabba backfired heavily on him, his teeth gritting furiously and veins popping up all over his face.
"I have to say, I am surprised that you are the monster who tormented my master for so long." Cabba let out a smirk. "You're barely worth the time."
"YOU WORTHLESS SCUM!" Throwing both hands forward, Freeza unleashed a powerful beam wave, taking apart more than half of the village in its wake.
"You have no one to save you now." Cabba dashed away from the attack, quickly jumping behind Freeza. His right arm swung in a long arc, bringing his fist all the way from the ground towards the emperor's face. Blood and sweat jumped into the air, as the punch connect with an absurd strength.
Numbness took control of Freeza's body, his vision getting dark, and a chilling silence on his ears; all his senses shutting down for a single moment. A sudden tug on his left leg awoke him from the void, Cabba grabbed hold of him before his body could fly away with the impact.
With three fast spins of his body, the saiyan soldier swung Freeza around like a ragdoll, before smashing him against the ground, exploding dirt and stones all around the devastated island.
"No more schemes." Cabba yanked Freeza by the shoulder, forcing the villain to face him. Another meteoric punch came down slamming on the white alien's head. "No more chances." Another punch exploded down, making the villain's left eye go completely swollen. "You will die now!" Holding his right hand forward, spreading his fingers wide open. The young saiyan started to channel everything he got left in one last attack.
"Ba-Bastard…" Freeza clenched his teeth once again, trying to force his body up, to no avail at all. Cabba had him pinned down on the ground. "Get off me, your insufferable worm." He twirled to the left, making room for his tail to wrap on Cabba's neck.
Quickly the tight grasp of the alien's tail on his neck became too much for Cabba to handle, he tried his best to concentrate on his final attack, while ignoring the suffocating feeling. And yet he chosen to suppress the ball of energy he was making and instead grabbed the tail with both hands, pulling it as he jumped away from the hole where Freeza is stuck.
A deafening screech erupted from Freeza's mouth. When Cabba pulled the tail with him when he jumped away, the strength he put in was so big, that he ended up tearing more than half of it out. "Damn you… DAMN YOU SAIYAN SCUM!" Freeza coughed blood out, his right eye going crazy and turning red with rage.
Still holding half of Freeza's tail on his hand, Cabba watched as the evil emperor flew away from the hole he was in, going far high in the sky and turning to face the ground only when he was close to the clouds.
"I will kill you, I will tore your body in half." He shouted insanely, blood and spit flying out of his mouth. "EVEN IF I HAVE TO DESTROY THIS PLANET WITH YOU!" Freeza raised both of his hands up, a giant red ball of death appearing right on top of him.
A warm drop of sweat run down on Cabba's chin, his blue eyes glaring at his opponent far above him on the sky. "After this… I will take a break from my missions." He tossed the tail away, a stupid grin appearing on his face. "One last attack, to end this all." The young saiyan posed both arms wide open, gathering all of his energies yet again. "Final..."
"Look at your end, infernal monkey." Freeza laughed as his energy ball grew even more on size. "Witness the end of this planet, TOGETHER WITH YOUR LIFE!" He hurled his arms downwards, throwing the immense attack on Namek.
Cabba pushed his arms forward, placing his hands in front of him. "FLASH!" A blue thunderbolt flew away from him, His golden aura getting completely emerged by the intense blue light. From his hands exploded a massive wave of yellow energy, going in the light speed towards the red ball of doom.
For a single moment, the entire planet went into a complete silence, everything seemed to stop for just one seconds, right before both attacks clashed against one another. The intensity of both sources of light was strong enough to be seeing in almost any part of Namek.
On the first contact, there was no fight anymore. Cabba's Final Flash easily pierced Freeza's Death Ball, sending waves of red energy across the clouds.
"Impossible, by a monkey… Again I." As the hulking energy wave reached Freeza, the evil emperor was no more, instantly disappearing in between the spiral beam of light.
"It's over…" Cabba fell down on one knee, his hair going back to normal and his ki aura dying out. "I have finally done it, haha."
"I'm really, really starting to despise your kind." A new and strange voice sounded from behind Cabba. Before the young soldier could turn to face the new comer, he felt something grasping on his neck, forcing his down on the ground. "You saiyans always are the cause of some trouble. If we had any of you back on my reign, I would kill them all."
Cabba tried his best to free himself from the stranger's hold, but he could barely hit the person's hand. He rolled a bit to the side, enough for his eyes to get a glimpse of a small yellow person standing beside him.
"Arrgh, I even lost contact with Ghill. Now you go and kill Freeza." Quitela snarled in anger. "I have no other option now… Bah." He readied his free hand downwards, aiming at Cabba. "Haka-"
A flash of pink colors dashed just above Cabba's head, tackling Quitela away from the saiyan. "Oi, you rat. I would appreciate if you didn't destroy my favorite saiyan." Champa landed on the ground, still holding his left leg up. "Great job Cabba. Thanks to you, the scared little mouse came out to play." The chubby God of Destruction smirked at his own remark.
"Lord Champa?!" Cabba sat down on the ground, staring amazed at Champa.
"Think you scare me? You stupid ball of fat." Quitela glared at Champa. "I have no problem destroying you too."
Champa vanished, appearing in front of Quitela. With a quick forward kick, he tackled the yellow god on his chest, making him fly spiraling away in the air. "I would like to see you try." Champa hastily flew away, going after Quitela.
"Hey, Cabba!" Goku calmly landed on the grassy ground close to Cabba.
"M-Mister Goku?! What are you doing here?" The young saiyan stared confused at Goku.
"Long story, I think is best for another time." Goku smiled cheerfully at his young saiyan friend. "You know, that was an amazing fight. You surprised me quite a bit."
"You were watching?" Cabba raised an eyebrow.
"Yup, from up there?" He pointed at the lone tall island at the other side.
"What, then why didn't you…" A quick glance at Goku's face was enough to dissuade Cabba from keep going on with his question.
"You can stand up on your own?" Goku asked patting the soldier on the shoulder.
"Yes, I can." As he gave his reply, Cabba got up on his feet. He felt a little dizzy, but was nothing he couldn't handle.
"Good, help me carry those." Goku pointed at the six giant orange Dragon Balls on the end of the village. "Trust me, we're going to need it."
PS: Now I'm free to ramble a bit here: To tell the truth, I had everything planed, from this point going back to the other chapters and the ones that will come next. But for this fight specifically I had nothing, it was a giant blank, holding me back from finishing the rest of the story. So every time I sat down to write it, I just ended up deleting everything, because I didn't like how it turned out, that is one reason why it took so long for it to come out. The next ones are going to be a lot easier to do, so I will post then a lot sooner too.
What are your guys' thoughts, is the story going in a smooth pace and tiding in nicely or is a giant mess?

VcArchangel chapter 20 . Nov 5 – Glad that you still like my boy Asparus ;). And yeah I would really love to see a Sadala Arc just like this on Super, but yeah… One can dream, right?
On Ghill's part, At that point, Quitela had already made his plan to make his own Super Dragon Balls, so risking to show his trump card on the tournament was a no no.
And to finish it, I had already planet this final fights way back then, like at the time of chapter 12. And a fusion between Cabba and Asparus never crossed my mind.
