Title: Crimson-dipped Obsession

Summary: Bulma Briefs' life made a horrifying turn when an obsessed Saiyan prince arrived on Earth and wanted her to be his! What's more to this alien was a dark secret that has caused a change in the history of Dragon Ball Z, and if it is revealed, it holds the fate of the entire universe.

Genre: Horror, Psychological Thriller, Romance, Mystery

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z. Some events in this fan fic is also inspired by Mirai Nikki and DBXV.

Warning: You might find Vegeta out of character in this story as this fic is made as an answer to the question 'What if Vegeta was a yandere?'. Vegeta is originally and generally a tsundere. A Tsundere is a character who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warm and caring side over time. The yandere personality is the exact opposite of a tsundere personality. A Yandere is a character who is genuinely kind, loving, sweet or gentle, but can suddenly switch to being aggressive or deranged. (From wiktionary).

If you don't like Vegeta to be like a yandere then I suggest you to turn back now and stop reading as this story also contains lots of blood, gore and violence.

Author's Notes: Sorry for the delay, guys. I admit I had a writer's block while writing this chapter. Also I was busy with my final projects in school, clearance and enrollment these past days. I hope you enjoyed the brutality I did here. One last chapter and the Frieza Arc will finally be over! I am more than excited to write the next arc as this is finally the moment when the paradox would take a great effect in the history. This chapter was inspired by Corpse Party Chapter 4 and 5, then Dragon Ball Super episode 7. Thank you very much for supporting this story. J

Chapter 13: The Galactic Overlord

[Vegeta's Perspective]

All my life, I have always dreamt to face Frieza on a battlefield one day. Ever since I was a little child, I yearned to be able to kill him with my own two hands. The Saiyans, my people were forced to work for him like slaves, under the tyrant's rule on a group called the Planet Trade Organization. I saw how they were treated like slaves by the so-calledGalactic overlord. I couldn't help it but feel bad for them, especially whenever I see my father, who was the King of all Saiyans, kneel before such a creature. Even as a small child, a deep seated hatred for Frieza already grew from my young heart. I vowed to myself to kill him one day, when I am powerful enough, when I become the Legendary Super Saiyan, the most powerful warrior in the universe. After all, being the prince of all Saiyans and having been born with an extraordinary power level, I was expected by my people to be their only salvation from Frieza. However, being too young, about a half cycle old, (five years equivalent of human age), we all knew I was not ready yet. I knew I was not powerful enough to battle the tyrant myself. Not until I become the Legendary.

So I waited, for many years. Just like the other Saiyans, I obeyed the Galactic Overlord's orders to kill and destroy in his name. I did it in order to become stronger and stronger. My power reached new heights; however, without becoming the Legendary Super Saiyan, I knew I won't stand against Frieza.

One day, I received a bad news from Nappa about my home planet's destruction. He said that Planet Vegeta was destroyed by an asteroid and killed all Saiyans on it. I was not surprised by the news; they deserved being killed because of their weakness. After all, life is a game of survival. Those who are weak and soft perish and those who are powerful and mighty survive. I doubted about the asteroid part. I knew that Frieza has a part on this. I felt it. After all, Frieza's reputation being a very powerful destroyer of planets and killer of many people has become a legend across the galaxy. He was the Galactic Overlord after all.

I heard he feared the appearance of the Legendary Super Saiyan, so I concluded that he might have done that in order to get rid of the birth of the one that would become the Legendary. I was spared by him, I don't know why he did it anyways, even after knowing that I was the one expected to become the Super Saiyan. He probably doubted that I could be the one. Or maybe he doubted the existence of the Legendary, but why else would he destroy the Saiyans if not for that? He kept me for years, and he favored me more than the rest of his soldiers. I don't know why but I think he wanted to make me the same as he is, as cold, and ruthless as he is.

As years passed, I grew even more powerful than before, however, not yet reaching the powers of the legendary. Yet, I was more determined to kill Frieza until one day, I saw how he has destroyed a planet and along all its inhabitants with a giant fireball he created with his index finger. I never thought of just how powerful Frieza really is. Seeing that monstrous power, it made me feel hopeless. I was wrong. I still have a very long way to go until I know I am powerful enough to kill Frieza.

It wasn't an easy life even if I was favored by Frieza. I fought for survival. I fought to win. I fought for revenge. I cared for no one. I killed and destroyed, just like Frieza does, in order to become stronger. I spared no one. In order to prove just how powerful I become, all for the sake for my pride. I was feared by the universe as the Legendary Destroyer of Worlds. Frieza was ecstatic of my progress as a warrior… a monster made by him. And yet, all of it was still nothing compared to Frieza.

Until…

[762 A.D. December 24, Planet Namek, 11:33 Earth Time]

Vegeta looked up into the top of a plateau where a very enraged Frieza stood and glowered back at them. The overlord was boiling with his rage despite that chilling smile across his face. That look and maleficent presence from Frieza has made Bulma, Krilin, Gohan and Dende tremble in fear behind Vegeta, whose confidence and excitement was overwhelming.

"My, my. What have you pests done? You've stolen my dream of immortality and ruling the universe forever. I don't see any traces of the life force from the Ginyu Special forces. Have you destroyed them? And now, I also see that the Dragon Balls are useless, my one great desire has been stripped away from my grasp!" Frieza said, still with that smile. He levitated off the ground and descended down in front of the Saiyan Prince and the others. "Never, ever before has anyone made such a fool of Frieza-sama! I never thought I would face such a bad day," the smiled faded from his lips and was replaced by an angry snarl. His body began to tremble with the anger he's feeling and then let out an angry yell, "You despicable maggots! I will torture you to death! Inch by bloody inch!"

Vegeta grabbed Bulma by her hand and leaped back a few feet away from Frieza. Krilin and Gohan who grabbed a petrified Dende followed him.

"Don't try getting away!" Frieza screamed.

"Oh no, what do we do now?" Krilin said in fear.

Vegeta turned to him, "Don't panic! I'll take care of him by myself."

"By… yourself?"

The prince let out a small nod. He turned to Bulma, whose looks were also full of fear.

"Calm down Bulma. Don't be afraid. I am here and I will protect you no matter what." Vegeta told her, an assuring smile on his lips.

"You… always say that…" the blue haired girl sniffed through her fearful tears.

The prince snorted, "Don't worry, I'll be back quickly. Wish me luck and cheer for me, my dear little Bulma."

Bulma let out a smile. "Please be careful."

Vegeta quickly pulled Bulma into a passionate kiss on her lips, which surprised her and everyone in the battlefield. Gohan gaped at the public display and Krilin quickly covered the boy's eyes with his eyes.

"Don't watch, Gohan!" Krilin told him.

When Vegeta pulled away, he laughed at the look Bulma gave him. She was shocked and as red as a tomato, but he knew she definitely enjoyed that one.

"That… would be a good luck kiss. Now, I'm sure I'm going to win!" he brimmed with a new determination. He turned his back on them with a wide, confident smirk and faced the direction where Frieza watched. "Krilin, Gohan, take care of her for me. I'll be back soon!" he told them before he disappeared before them and appeared in front of the galactic overlord.

"I'm going to finish this quickly so I can be with my Bulma again," he told Frieza.

Frieza let out a chuckle, "Hohoho…! Who would have thought that the great Prince of the Saiyans would learn how to love? It is going to be your weakness, you're greatest downfall!"

"Heh! If you think you can beat me so easily then you're delusional, Frieza!"

"Have you forgotten how terrifying I am?" Frieza asked. "Then let me remind you!" he roared as he flared his purple aura and powered up, making the ground tremble beneath their feet.

"W-w-whoah! I… I never… i-imagined…" Krilin mouthed in fear as he felt Frieza's power level increase to unbelievable levels. He never felt this kind of power in his entire life, well, except from one person who is luckily on their side.

Vegeta let out an evil smirk, "Heh!"

Frieza continued to build his power, making the entire planet Namek tremble before him.

"His power is too high. C-C-Can Vegeta really beat this guy?" Krilin wondered.

"Of course I can!" Vegeta answered him. When Frieza heard that, he stopped powering up.

"Yes, just how a small little ant could defeat a gigantic dinosaur." Frieza said.

"Really, Frieza. You just don't know how powerful I have become." Vegeta told him.

"You're always such a dreamer, Vegeta. No matter how much powerful you've become, you will never be a match against my might."

"You think so? Well, let me tell you something, milord," Vegeta smiled. "I have become that something you've always dreaded for years. I have become the Legendary Super Saiyan!"

Frieza doesn't look impressed. "Hohohoho!" he laughed without humor. "I'm so glad I paused to talk to you. Super Saiyan, indeed. NOW DIE!" Frieza roared as he flared his aura and blasted off the ground to attack Vegeta head on. He threw a right hook which was easily caught by Vegeta's left hand. Frieza decided to attack with his other hand but the prince caught that one with his right hand as well. The Saiyan grabbed both of the tyrant's hands and the two began to struggle in a match of brute strength, with Frieza trying his best to overwhelm the prince with his own might.

The ground trembled with powerful intensity as a crater began to form underneath the feet of the Saiyan Prince and the Galactic Overlord.

"Woah! What power! And Vegeta-san's not yet powering up!" Gohan said.

"Unbelievable!" Bulma said in awe.

Vegeta finally released his ki and flared his blue aura, which almost looked like a blue flame bursting out of his body. Frieza saw his scouter detect Vegeta's power level and the numbers rose quickly, seemingly endless.

"W-What?!" Frieza gaped in shock until the scouter short circuited and exploded on his face.

At the same time, Vegeta let go of Frieza and the two leaped away from each other and gracefully landed outside the crater. The smirk on the Saiyan prince's lips grew wider as Frieza glared back at him.

"I see, so you weren't entirely bluffing after all," Frieza said.

The prince just smirked at Frieza's astonishment as he raised a finger at Frieza, "Transform, Frieza and show us what you really are," he taunted.

Frieza was surprised on how Vegeta knew that he can transform.

"Transform?" Krilin questioned.

"Frieza can change his physical form and increase his power by multiple folds," Vegeta explained. "In his case, he does it in order to suppress his power in order to conserve and control it."

"Wait, suppress his power?" repeated Gohan.

"The form we see before us wasn't even Frieza's true form."

"I'm surprised you know about it, Vegeta-san. How did you…?" Frieza asked.

"Trust me, Frieza, I know everything about it. And…" Vegeta paused to give his enemy a dangerous glare, "Also what you did to the planet I was destined to rule." His voice suddenly became chilling.

Frieza stared at the prince with a look of surprise and fear, wondering how the prince would have known about it. The only two people who know of this are Zarbon and Dodoria. Perhaps, one of the two told Vegeta about it.

The Galactic overlord let out a chuckle, "Hohoho… Alright, I confess the bad deed. It was I who destroyed Planet Vegeta and all the filthy monkeys on it. I want you to know, your father, the king didn't take long to dispatch, Vegeta-san."

"Heh!" the Saiyan Prince snorted boastfully. "Don't get so cocky about that. I am very different from the rest of them, even the king whom I surpassed as a child by a long shot!"

"Yes, perhaps you were different from the other monkeys. No one among your race has reached that peak of power you have now. However, those rebellious eyes and foolish arrogance reminds me so much of your late father."

Vegeta scowled back at Frieza, visibly angry at being compared to his weakling of a father. "You will see how different I am to my foolish father, Frieza. You will see when I torture you to death!"

"Hohoho! You've become such a dreamer, Vegeta. No matter how much stronger you've become you will never be a match against me! But if you truly wish to see my transformation then so be it!"

Frieza ignited his purple aura in a flash, which caused his brown and purple battle armor to blow off to pieces and went flying into different directions. Vegeta tilted his head on the side to avoid his face to be cut by a flying piece of the armor. It passed cleanly an inch before his face. The prince scowled as Frieza began to power up to unbelievable levels. The ground began to tremble as rocks and dirt floated upwards. The Galactic overlord's body began to flash in white light, being overwhelmed with power and began his first transformation.

"HAAAAAUUUURRRGHHH! RAAAAAAAAUUUUURRRGGHHHHH!" Frieza screamed as his chest and back muscles instantly swelled in muscle mass. His fingers twitched before his arms bulked up and elongated. "UUUURRRGGGHH!" he fell into his knees on the shaking Namekian ground, his face contorted into one of excrutiating pain.

On the sides, Krilin, Gohan, Dende and Bulma watched in fear and awe as Frieza transforms.

"H-h-he's changing!" Krilin mouthed in horror.

"He's power's rising to unbelievable levels!" Gohan also shouted. "H-he's going to kill us!"

"Eeeeekk!" Bulma screeched as she covered her eyes with both of her hands, fearful of what she's witnessing before her.

"AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!" The veins on Frieza's neck swelled as he extended his head. His entire body grew, almost thrice the height of his previously little form. The protruding black horns on the side of his head also lengthen.

The three Earthings and one Namekian child grew even more fearful at the overlord's transformation.

"T-T-This is a nightmare, right?" Bulma asked no one. "Would someone wake me up please?"

Gohan, Krilin and Dende stayed frozen with fear beside her. Their eyes were wide and their lips were trembling.

"Aaaahhhhhhhh…" the three mouthed in horror.

Frieza continued to scream in the background as his transformation continued. Krilin and Gohan turned to see any reaction of Vegeta but to their surprise, the prince was watching the tyrant's transformation with a bored look on his onyx-colored eyes. While the two earthlings were awed by Frieza's display of unbelievable power, the Saiyan Prince looked like he was not even impressed by the show.

"H-H-hey, Gohan. Look at Vegeta," Krilin said. "He doesn't look a bit impressed… What's up with him?"

"I don't know." Gohan replied."Maybe he was confident that he can still defeat Frieza by himself."

"B-B-But Frieza's power's unimaginable!"

"RYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" with a mighty roar, Frieza ended his transformation. An explosion of bright light blinded everyone in the battlefield before it all became clear again. The rocks and dirt that were floating earlier fell back down into the Namekian ground that finally stopped its fearful shaking due to the power of the Galactic Overlord.

Frieza raised himself up from kneeling before his audiences. He was three times bigger than his earlier form. His horns were huge and sharp, and looked like a pair of bull horns. His lizard tail was twice thicker and longer than previously. He towered over Vegeta and the others like a giant dinosaur and he saw his adversaries as small little ants. His purple lips let out a wicked smirk as he stared at an expressionless Saiyan Prince who stood with his arms crossed over his chest plate in boredom. "Watch out, Vegeta. I won't be as gentle as before. I have so much power now; I won't be able to control it any longer. If any device could read my power level it would be at one million!"

…

Frieza waited for any fearful or surprised reaction from Vegeta but he only got a cold glare from those eyes.

"What? Cat got your tongue, Vegeta? I bet you're too paranoid with shock you cannot even react or talk! Hehehehe…" the emperor joked.

This time, the prince reacted with a roll of his eyes. "Bah! Is that all, Frieza?"

"What?"

"I mean seriously, is this what the Great Ruler of the Galaxy is capable of? Power level of one million? Pffftt! Stop wasting my time. If this is all you've got then I'll have to kill you now."

Frieza frowned and blinked his eyes. What the hell is Vegeta talking about? He composed himself and let out a chuckle, "Hohohohoho! Maybe you're small monkey brain was fried with fear that you can't even see and think straight! Vegeta! With this form, I am capable of slaughtering an entire galaxy!"

Vegeta threw his head back and laughed like a madman, "Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Everyone raised their eyebrows at Vegeta's mad laughter.

"What is he laughing at?"

Frieza growled in anger, he couldn't understand why Vegeta was laughing like that. He had enough of Vegeta's arrogance so he decided. He raised his right hand and opened his palm. At his command, the entire battle field blew up in an explosion wave that sent rocks, dirt and debris flying in all directions. Luckily, Krilin and Gohan reacted quickly and grabbed both Dende and Bulma before the land there were standing in was reduced into nothing but a pillar of smoke. They were able to fly into the sky away from the waves of destruction caused by Frieza.

Frieza noticed the Earthlings were quick to escape that attack. Of course, he knew Vegeta did as well. Even the Saiyans were able to do that. He waited for the smoke around him to clear and see where the monkey prince went to but a dark chuckle from behind him made his spine chill. Frieza was shocked. He was not supposed to be reacting this way but why did he just felt that chuckle so spine chilling?

Frieza quickly composed himself and turned around but saw no one behind him. He heard that chilling chuckle again and he turned again on the direction he was hearing it but he never saw anyone. Soon, the chuckle became a childish giggle until it increased in volume and turned into a psychotic laughter.

"Vegeta! Come out, you little monkey!"

Frieza felt a chilling presence behind him and he quickly turned around. What he saw surprised him greatly.

Vegeta was glowered at him with strange bright red eyes, his lips pulled into a wide, sinister grin and his right hand was above his head behind him. He was holding a scalpel in his hand.

"Heeeeh!" the Saiyan Prince grinned.

"What?!"

The Prince aimed at Frieza. The Galactic Overlord was unable to register what he just saw.

"DIE!"

Frieza was quick and he was able to dodge that attack. Since when did Vegeta use useless weapons such as that?

"You fool! You know you can't kill me with useless things such as those!" he said as he turned around, but the prince was gone. "Where did he go?" Frieza said as he turned his head around.

Another childish giggle from behind made Frieza turn automatically at the sound. And then, faster than what he could register, the scalpel's sharp blade hit his left eye.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Frieza screamed as his hands automatically reached to the left side of his face. Using his right eye, he saw his attacker. It was indeed Vegeta. "Why you, little…" Frieza growled.

Vegeta smiled at him before he brutally pulled the scalpel out of Frieza, and including the tyrant's left eye with it. Frieza screamed in agony, his hand covering the hole where his left eye was before, his purple blood streaming like tears on the left side of his face.

He heard a slurping sound and he painfully opened his remaining right eye to see Vegeta licking the bloody left eye as if it was a lollipop. The Saiyan then chuckled in delight as if the 'lollipop' was deliciously sweet. And then he went on devouring the entire eye as if it was takoyaki but immediately spit it out. He stepped on the remains of the eye which caused it to squish under his boot.

"My my, you do make good sounds of agony, Frieza. Shall we continue? What parts do want me to rip out of you next? Feel free to tell me. Hehehehehe…"

"Grrrrr…." Frieza growled. How could this happen? No one in the entire universe could be stronger than this form that has a power level of over a million! Just how did Vegeta get this strong?

"Transform Frieza," Vegeta told him again.

"What?" The Galactic overlord could not understand how Vegeta knew of this.

"Look at yourself. You look pathetic. I'm not even having my fun yet."

Not yet having his fun? What does he mean by that?

"I know this isn't the peak of your power. Show me your other forms. And your true power!"

This time, it was Frieza's turn to laugh out loud. "Hohohohohohoho! Oh Vegeta, you don't know what you're getting yourself into! No one has ever seen my third form as this isn't even necessary for battle. But, if you want to see it that much, then it's my pleasure to show you!"

Frieza braced himself for another transformation. He bent his knees to crouch down into the ground and flared a dark red aura. "HAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" he roared as he put his two hands together in the air and quickly brought them down. Two long white horns grew at the middle of his back instantly.

Vegeta let out a smirk as he watched the tyrant transform once again. Above the sky, Krilin, Gohan, Dende and Bulma watched with terrified looks on their faces as Frieza transformed once again.

"Heeh," Krilin trembled. "J-just what is Vegeta thinking provoking Frieza to transform again?"

"T-This is a nightmare, someone wake me up please." Bulma cried.

Gohan and Dende couldn't find themselves to speak as fear completely paralyzed them.

The two white shell-like armor that was on Frieza's shoulders opened up, becoming white and purple shoulder pads that would protect his shoulders in battle. Frieza continued his screaming, as his neck stretched out and his face deformed. His mouth and nose combined into one and extended to become a beak. The top of his head also elongated greatly. His posture hunched as if the weight of his own head is too much for him.

With one final roar, Frieza ended his second transformation. The Earthlings were terrified of what Frieza looked in his third form.

"W-What a monster…" Krilin commented, his body shaking with terror.

Frieza slowly raised his head and glared at the Saiyan Prince with his right eye. His left eye socket remained empty. "So how about this, Vegeta-san, do you feel fear now? Hehehe…" his voice was raspier than before.

"I see that your power level has risen greatly," Vegeta commented. The look on his face as disinterested and bored as earlier. "But it still won't save you from me." He smiled.

"You arrogant little -,"Frieza sneered as he leaped forward to finally attack Vegeta. The prince easily dodged the first seven punches that Frieza meant to land on his face until he decided to catch Frieza's fist, surprising the tyrant greatly.

"What?!"

Vegeta grinned back at him before he threw the overlord across the sky. Frieza was greatly surprised at the strength of the throw. It took him quite a couple of seconds before he was able to stop his momentum and flared his ki to attack Vegeta once again with a powerful right hook. The Saiyan waited on the ground below with a smirk on his face, watching Frieza dashed towards him like a falling purple comet. Vegeta flared his blue ki and raised his right fist, readying himself for Frieza's upcoming attack.

"Oh no! Gohan! Let's get away from here!" Krilin said.

The half-Saiyan boy understood and nodded, "Yes, Krilin-san."

The Earthlings and their Namekian child companion quickly went away the vicinity of the small island that was left of where they stood a few moments ago, that small island where Vegeta stood confidently.

"Take this you stupid monkey!"

Frieza attacked Vegeta with his fist, which was met by the prince's own fist. The collision of the two powerful fists sent powerful shockwaves around them, causing the small island where Vegeta stood to be shattered into small rocks and the water that surrounded them to rise, like a tsunami.

The next instant, the galactic overlord bombarded Vegeta with several, random attacks that was powerful enough to shatter the entire planet. However, Vegeta took his time enjoying every moment when he easily dodge or block each of the tyrant's attack. The sound of their collision was like loud, powerful thunders and caused some islands to crack beneath the surface.

"Woah! Vegeta's amazing. He's just blocking and dodging all of Frieza's attacks like they were nothing!" Gohan said.

"Yeah! We're going to win!"

Vegeta continued to dodge and block Frieza's attacks with a wild grin on his face. "What's the matter, Frieza? Can't hit your target?" he mocked.

"Shut up!" Frieza roared as he sent a powerful punch towards Vegeta's face. This time, the prince let it pass through his defenses and let it hit him on the jaw, sending him to plummet down into another island and causing that island to crack upon his impact.

"Oh no! Vegeta!" Bulma screamed.

When the smoke cleared, Vegeta stood up and raised his head to give Frieza an arrogant look. He raised his right hand and wiped away the blood on the side of his lip with the back of his gloved hand and let out a wide smirk.

"Is this all you've got, Frieza? If so then I must tell you how disappointed I am."

"What?! How dare you speak to me like that you, arrogant monkey!" Frieza growled. He raised both of his index fingers and pointed them at Vegeta. "Take this!"

Frieza then fired several finger beams towards Vegeta, which he easily dodged by dancing around while he laughed his heart out like a psycho. As the galactic overlord continued to fire off his finger blitz barrage, he wondered how Vegeta got this powerful. He could not understand how a lowly monkey such as this was able to overpower his third form, which was never been shown to anybody in the universe for there is no need to. And yet, Vegeta was able to overpower him? How?

Frieza finally stopped his assault when there was too much smoke and he cannot see his opponent through it. He watched patiently through the smoke, waiting for Vegeta to come out. "Come on, Vegeta. Come out! I know that kind of attack won't be enough to finish you off!"

After a few seconds of waiting, there was no sign of Vegeta. Frieza took this as a sign of victory and began to laugh out loud. "Hahahahaha! How's that? I think that not even a foolish monkey like you will be able to handle that!"

"What was that, Frieza?!" Vegeta said as he suddenly appeared in front of Frieza's face through phasing in. Frieza's instinct was to quickly leap away from the prince in a surprised manner.

"What? How are you able to-?"

Vegeta rubbed the back of his neck and grinned, "Ah! That was good! A perfect massage!" then he turned his back on the tyrant. "Hey, can you do it on my back now, please?" he pointed at a specific part behind his left shoulder. "Over here, here."

Frieza was pissed. He blindly charged at Vegeta with a right hook but the prince's body went static and disappeared, Frieza only hit an afterimage. Surprised, Frieza tried to look around for the prince as he turned his head left and right but he cannot find any signs of the annoying arrogant monkey. Vegeta appeared on Frieza's side with a serious look on his face and sent a powerful uppercut to Frieza's jaw that sent him flying into the Namekian atmosphere in the speed of light. Vegeta then appeared above Frieza, both his hands raised above his head together and hit the overlord from behind with a hammering blow. Frieza plummeted down towards the planet and he found out that he cannot stop his momentum. Vegeta appeared below Frieza and sent a spinning back kick on the tyrant's gut and sent him spinning down into a pile of rocks below. The Saiyan prince put his hands together on his left side as he bent towards his left and charged a powerful purple blast.

"Galick Gun!" he exclaimed as he thrust his hands forward and fired the concentrated purple beam at Frieza. An explosion shook the ground following the detonation of that attack.

"Woo-hoo! We've won!" Krilin exclaimed happy.

"Yay!"

Vegeta phased before Frieza and watched at his beaten third form with cold disinterest. "What's matter? Is this all?" he said.

Frieza cracked his remaining right eye open and pitifully picked himself up on the dirt. "How? How did you get this strong? Y-you… you're not Vegeta, are you? You're different. You're… You're…"

Vegeta's eye twitched and he scowled. He brutally backhanded Frieza's face and sent him rolling into the dirt. Frieza picked himself up and coughed out purple blood. "That's right, Frieza. I'm not the same Vegeta that you knew from before. I have changed and I will be your end!"

Frieza gritted his teeth in response, before he let out a dark chuckle. "Fufufu… Foolish Vegeta-san. This isn't even my final form!" he exclaimed.

Vegeta swung his right leg at Frieza and sent him crashing into the ground. "What were you saying, Frieza?" Vegeta asked him.

"I said this… isn't even my final form… I'm still… using… a… small portion of my power yet… Ehehehehe…"

Vegeta glared at Frieza and let out a sigh. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. "I know that."

"What? How?"

"I've heard that stupid speech before. And please, stop playing around with me and be serious!" Vegeta yelled as he kicked Frieza from behind, causing Frieza to crash on his stomach into the ground. His brutally slammed his right foot on Frieza's nape. "Transform, Frieza and show me your full power!"

Frieza was in pain. Even in his third form, he was not enough to beat the arrogant Saiyan. Other than that, Vegeta was just toying around him like he was some play toy.

Vegeta grabbed the pair of protruding horns on Frieza's back and began to grip on it with brutal force, causing Frieza to scream in agony. "Transform, Frieza! I told you to transform!"

Out of desperation, Frieza tried to use his tail to hit Vegeta aside, but the prince simply let go of one of his horns to catch the tail with his hand. Vegeta gripped the tail with brutal force, causing the bone within the tail to shatter. Frieza screamed once more.

The Saiyan Prince grinned at Frieza, "Transform," he ordered as he grabbed the horns once again and pulled it out brutally off Frieza's back. Frieza screamed in agony.

"Tsk tsk tsk, come now, milord. That isn't painful, in comparison to what you did to me back then!" Vegeta told him. "Transform, Frieza! I'm telling you to transform!" he yelled.

Frieza roared, finally abiding to Vegeta's wishes. The Prince felt Frieza's power rose and immediately let him go. The tyrant's body began to glow with energy, as dark clouds loomed above him.

"That's more like it," Vegeta thought.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Frieza roared as his form began to crack as if his body was a hard shell that protected him and was about to crack due to the pressure of his own power. It's too much he cannot control it anymore.

A few distance away…

"Frieza's transforming again?!" Krilin screamed. Imagining what Frieza would look like in his new form form and the thought of it was terrifying enough for him.

"Eh?!" Gohan and Bulma turned to see Frieza glowing with energy while Vegeta stood not far away, smirking.

"What the heck is Vegeta doing?! Why don't he finish off Frieza while he still has a chance?!" Bulma asked.

They watched as Frieza's shell-like mask and armor cracked and shattered and a white bright light exploded in his form, causing everyone to cover their eyes due to the blinding light. Frieza's ear-piercing, high pitched screamed echoed across the entire planet.

When everything was clear, Frieza stood before them. He was short and lizard-like, almost harmless looking. There were no horns or spikes all over his body and his physique was streamlined. He was white skinned with purple round sections on his head, shoulders, forearms, abdomen and shins with the lines on his cheeks remained.

And all his damage from being beaten by Vegeta were healed, even the crushed bones on his tail. The only thing that was not healed was his left eye socket. It remained empty, but with purple blood caking within it.

Frieza's true form has finally been unleashed. The relentless mocking of the Saiyan Prince has caused him to boil over with rage, and decided to show him his true power, a power more than enough to destroy the entire galaxy. He had enough of the filthy monkey. He looked at Vegeta. The Saiyan Prince remained as calm and composed, without showing any signs of fear as he expected and this annoyed him so much. He couldn't understand just how Vegeta got this powerful, a filthy monkey forcing him to transform to his fourth form.

Watching at the Saiyan Prince and pondering what weakness could he ever have. He realized that Vegeta's power must have come to a desire to protect someone, and then he suddenly remembers the girl whom the prince kissed earlier before their battle. Yes. That must be it!

Automatically, Frieza turned towards Bulma, raised his right index finger and fired a purple death beam towards the direction where she stood. "DIE!"

Vegeta saw this immediately and quickly teleported before Bulma, clenched his fist and punched the death beam away. Bulma, Gohan, Dende and Krilin didn't see anything coming and only realized that Frieza just fired at them when the beam Vegeta just deflected away collided with some island several miles away and detonated.

Bulma stepped back, "W-W-What w-w-was that?" she said completely terrified.

"H-he just… fired at us… and w-w-we didn't even see a thing…" Krilin trembled.

The four of them stared at Vegeta, who was glaring daggers at Frieza. The galactic overlord, with his right arm still stretched in front of him and index finger pointing at Vegeta and Bulma, let out a sadistic smile before countless of death beams were simultaneously fired from his finger. The battle field was enlightened by a purple hue as the beams came towards Vegeta and the others. Vegeta stood confidently and let out a wide, evil smirk as he raised his left finger to deflect each and every beam on random directions, causing explosions and tremors across the planet.

However, one beam slipped past Vegeta's defenses and hit the rock formation behind them, causing it to explode. Bulma screamed. At the same time, Frieza stopped his fire with a satisfied smile on his purple lips.

Vegeta automatically turned his head towards her and saw that Krilin just pushed her away from falling debris, but Bulma was unconscious.

"Bulma! NO!" Vegeta screamed as he pushed Krilin away and tend to Bulma. She was unconscious, and he saw that there was a small bleeding on the side of her head.

Seeing the crimson blood on the side of her head, Vegeta felt like his entire world crumbled before him. His body froze, his lips trembled and his eyes were filled with pain.

Vegeta's hand trembled as he wiped the crimson liquid off Bulma's head, shocked beyond belief.

"No, no, no… Not this again… Not again… I… I failed… No… No… No…" these panic thoughts overwhelm him. He cannot hear Gohan and Krilin trying to talk to him, their voices sounded as if there were so far away, echoing behind the much clearer voice in his head that repeatedly chanted, "Wake up! Wake up, woman! Wake up!"

Bulma's unconscious form before him changed, back and forth, like remembering a nightmare that was of long ago. This same thing has happened before, somewhere before, and he cannot remember when. Or were those memories from a dream that has tried to warn him of this upcoming event?

"UUUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Vegeta let out a loud cry of emotional pain. He crumbled into the ground, like a traumatic animal.

Suddenly, he heard Frieza's voice, echoing much louder than Gohan's, or Krilin's or Dende's voices. "Hohohohoho, just as I thought. Didn't I already tell you long ago? Falling in-love with someone will be your greatest downfall? Hahahaha! Look at yourself now. I'm sure you'll be a disgrace to your race for acting like this. Hohohoho…"

Vegeta glared furiously at Frieza, tears began to fall from his eyes. "Shut up, shut up, shut up…." He growled back, the sound was low, raw and animalistic, frothing with suppress rage in the surface. Frieza just laughed at him. "You… You…" his eyes began to change color from black to crimson. The ground began to tremble. "This is completely unforgivable… You are going to pay for this…"

Frieza watched with utter confusion, as the ground trembled and dark clouds began to form at the sky above the Saiyan Prince, and whirled around like a whirlpool. Gohan, Krilin, and Dende all backed away from Vegeta. The prince took Bulma in his arms and stood. He approached Dende, who trembled before the invisible but powerful energy that Vegeta was trying his best to control. He laid her before the Namekian child, his red eyes piercing to the boy silently.

"Please, take care of her…" he told Dende in a low voice. The Namekian child just watched back with fear as Vegeta stepped away from him, Bulma, Gohan and Krilin. He turned around to glare at Frieza his most terrifying glare that made Frieza's spine chill.

Vegeta pulled his lips away from his teeth and bared his fangs at Frieza. A raw, animalistic snarl rumbled from his chest and throat. At the same time, the ground's tremors intensified and the thunder roared simultaneously, like bells of hell ringing at the awakening wrath of the legend.

"Wh-What?!" Frieza mouthed. He cannot sense power levels but whatever was happening to Vegeta is making him stronger.

The Saiyan Prince clenched his trembling hands into fists on his side. His blue aura flared on and off around his body, changing color from blue and purple. His fierce eyes changing color once again, from crimson to blue green. His spiky hair rippled with his energy, like a flickering flame and flashed gold. His aura then flashed blue, then purple, then gold. Vegeta's body trembled with rage, his eyes that continued to change color, pierced at Frieza's with overflowing wrath.

"W-What's happening to Vegeta?" Krilin mouthed.

Below him, Dende was spreading his hands above Bulma, healing her head injury with his healing powers. How Vegeta knew that he has such powers was a mystery to him but he did ask nicely and he will defeat Frieza for them so he decided to help him back by healing this girl he likes.

"H-he's finally going to change into that…" Gohan said, remembering the golden form Vegeta demonstrated when he fought Zarbon.

"Eh?" Krilin asked, wondering what Gohan meant.

"The Legendary Super Saiyan."

"Legendary Super Saiyan?"

Goku sensed Vegeta's power level increasing and felt the entire Planet Namek tremble due to him. He also heard the thunder rumbling outside. He was still inside the medical machine and was waiting for his time to be fully healed.

"Woah, Vegeta's powering up! So he's finally about to show his true power. That… Legendary Super Saiyan thing…" he thought as a smile formed in his lips. "I'm glad he's on our side. My friends will not die."

Legendary Super Saiyan? Impossible!

Frieza heard what Gohan said and couldn't believe his ears. He watched as Vegeta continued to change. His hair continued to flash on and off from black to gold. His eyes changing color from black, red and blue green. Soon, the Saiyan's body was enshrouded by a golden light that was desperate to free itself from being trapped within him.

"GGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!" Vegeta growled. "FFFFRRRRRRIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he roared out loud, his wrath finally exploding outwards, causing the golden light out of his body in a golden explosion. A golden beam of light shot its way into the sky. The shockwaves that followed that explosion caused Frieza to tumble across rock formations several feet away from the prince. A loud, ear piercing scream echoed from the beam of light.

Frieza was able to catch himself on midair after being thrown by the shockwave a few feet away from the golden light.

When everything was clear, Frieza, Gohan, Krilin, Dende and a newly awakened and healed Bulma all gaped at the golden legend the stood before them. Vegeta's hair was flickering like a golden flame, his body was enshrouded by golden light, and his eyes were a piercing pair of jade gems.

"What is this? Saiyans transform to giant monkeys, aren't they? This is something new. Vegeta! What have you done to yourself!?" Frieza demanded, his remaining right eye showed fear and disbelief at what he's seeing.

Vegeta lifted his head slowly and glared at Frieza with his piercing blue-green eyes. A wicked smile stretched across his lips as he chuckled, "I see… So you don't know yet, do you? I am the one you feared the most! Your worst nightmare has become a reality to be your ripper and be the end of everything! I am… the Legendary Super Saiyan!"
