Vegeta had to put haste into it. Sure he has to face frieza right now, but he needs to hide the dragonballs again or else. He dug as fast as he could. He felt the medicine starting to work and he gained some energy back. That helped in those few seconds he had to dig the hole, throw the balls in and close it again. There, now he had to move. Suddenly though he felt a presence behind him...
"No way, it can't be." He whispered.
"Vegeta, turn around and face me." Frieza said. Vegeta turned. There stood Frieza and he looked pissed.
"Do you really think i come here all this way to have my plan and dream for immortality be undone by a monkey? You thought, for only one second i would not find you and kill you before you could get your own wish? I am going to squeeze the life out of you untill you beg me to kill you!"
Vegeta smirked. "Well, you can try." He was bluffing. He knew he was bluffing as his power might have increased quite a bit and he might be able to take on Frieza right now, but he knew Frieza could transform.
"WHAT? What did you say! You think you can mock the almighty Frieza? You will suffer greatly!" Frieza started to powerup from sheer anger. A purple aura surrounded him, it was frightening. Vegeta felt his energy rise like a rocket. Frieza started to laugh.
"You have done it now little insect. I can only control my powers when i'm calm. But you have upset me, which is unfortunate for you and this planet. Are you scared?" Vegeta said nothing. He only prepared to face his former master, his nemesis, the thorn in his side.
"It won't be as easy as you might expect Frieza." Vegeta said while the ground trembled. Frieza laughed again.
"Oh i see it. You have gone insane from fear. You can't think reasonably. Well no matter. Die." Frieza stretched out one arm and a purple flame of energy emerged. It just grazed Vegeta. This is it he thought. Frieza charged him. Vegeta blocked the first 2 punches but was overwhelmed by the next few. Frieza's power had increased more then he thought. Frieza was on the upper hand. Even with the newly acquired power from healing he was no match for this version of Frieza. Vegeta felt his confidence slip away as he was beaten up. Frieza was laughing the whole time. Vegeta tried every trick in the book. Tricks that would lay someone like Captain Ginyu flat on his stomach. Frieza didn't even break a sweat and countered everything with ease. Frieza punched him, kicked him, headbutted him, scratched him, pounded him with balls of energy and even one time whipped him with his tail. Eventually Vegeta was on the ground and Frieza picked him up with his tail around his neck. The tail squeezed tighter and it was choking Vegeta. Vegeta couldn't do a thing, he was so badly hurt he could hardly lift his arm. This was it he thought, he was done for. After all this, he dies at the hands of his worst enemy. Whats worse is he couldn't avenge his fathers death and Kakarot will now be the only hope. Speaking of the devil, he felt Kakarot approaching.
"H...hurry it up Kakarot." He whispered.
"What was that? Oh yes, i can see someone approaching. You two, the last of the saiyans. Haha, what a laugh. I must admit even though i never liked the saiyans they where very usefull at the time. You where good little warriors who always delivered. Untill that father of yours, the king, decided to stage a coup. He was the most pathetic saiyan i had ever met. Always talking in riddles and politics. He always pleaded for the independence of the Saiyan race. He must have realized he was a slave. Yet he always failed to see how futile his pleas where. I did enjoy killing him while you where sitting in the bowels of my ship waiting for orders. Hahaha." Vegeta felt an incredible rage building up inside. He had no clue where it was coming from but there was a spike of energy that enabled him to fire one more quick shot of energy right at frieza's face.
"Aaaahh. You little worm!" Frieza dropped Vegeta and grabbed his face. "Grrrr. You will pay for that. This whole planet will pay for your insolence. I am going to bury you in its core." Frieza raised 1 finger. A small black ball of energy appeared. Frieza raised his arm but then was distracted. Kakarot had arrived. He fired a huge beam of energy at Frieza with both hands. Frieza had to block it.
"Grrrrr. More pests. Your race must be really ready to be extinct. I will kill you both and be done with this." Frieza came out of the attack unscathe. There where some burn marks on his arms though.
"Frieza. You are under arrest." Mark set down onto the ground.
"Don't humor me with you useless comments." Frieza charged Mark. They sparred a bit but Frieza noticed soon he was stronger then Vegeta was.
"Hm, seems you saiyans have an odd way of walking away from battles. Almost as if you increase your powerlevel after every battle."
"Ha, you finally found that out huh?" Vegeta said. Frieza looked over at Vegeta. His eyes widened.
"You! Yo...You are totally healed. How? That is not possible! Are you immortal perhaps? You can't die?" Vegeta smirked, standing at the crater where he, moments ago, was nearly at death.
"Oh, i wish i where. But no, you just fail to see the full power of the saiyan race. Whenever we are at near death and are healed, our power increases tremendously. Now then. Transform. You can't beat me and Kakarot in this state, check your scouter if you don't believe me."
"Healed? But how? I didn't see anything. You got some kind of medicine? Have you got a wish granted? What? Tell me!"
Vegeta laughed out loud. "Haha, like i'm going to tell you. Lets just say we got some help of the locals here that i very much appreciate." Frieza pressed on his scouter.
"What! 300,000! That is impossible... Grrrr, and you. You are at 200,000. Its true. I can't defeat you like this." Frieza calmed down and touched down on the ground. It was quiet for a moment then. Frieza bowed his head down and closed his eyes. Then a small smile appeared on his face.
"You know, i never imagine i would have to transform to fight some monkeys. But i suppose it has been a while since i got a decent workout. Now then. Be ready to tremble at the might of the great lord Frieza! You, better keep looking on that scouter of yours... Hehehe. This isn't something you see every day." Frieza started to scream, a purple aura surrounded him. Mark's scouter began to bleep. Its started bleeping faster and faster untill suddenly it blew off of Mark's head and onto the ground in a dozen pieces. Som part of it was still on Mark's head, so he could still understand Frieza and Vegeta.
Vegeta looked stunned. "What? It just overloaded? What did it say Kakarot before it blew?"
"I don't know, i can't read it remember. But there where 7 symbols on it before it blew."
"What? 7? No way! Thats crazy!" Vegeta trembled on his feet. Frieza's mass suddenly increased. The 2 horns on his head grew. His entire body then began to grow higher and higher. At first he was just a midget compared to Vegeta and Mark but now he was a full head higher then Mark was. The power coming off him was frightening.
"Ah, there we are. Feels good to be in this form again after such a long time. Need to stretch my legs every once in a while. Hahaha." Frieza's voice sounded lower, just face was a bit longer but hadn't changed much. "Now then. Where were we?"
Vegeta charged him. He punched him right in the face but Frieza didn't seem to notice it. Vegeta began to kick and punch all around Frieza. But Frieza didn't move a muscle. For a moment Kakarot was stunned and Vegeta didn't think he would be any help but eventually he got his grip and joined Vegeta. Even with both blowing punches at his face Frieza did not move. Instead he only gave a sour face. He then suddenly stretched out his arms and Kakarot and Vegeta where blown into the air by an invisible force. Frieza still kept standing there. Vegeta and Kakarot looked at him from up in the air. Frieza looked up and looked at both Saiyans for a moment. He then gave a little smile. With a soft voice he said
"Well, lets get the first little obstacle out of the way." He suddenly moved too a direction. Vegeta didn't see him move at all and he noticed Kakarot didn't know either where he was going. Vegeta could only track him a couple of seconds after he had moved. His eyes widened. Kakarot had no clue what had happened but he had a stunned look on his face. A little bit of blood came out of the corner of his mouth. Kakarot looked down. He saw Frieza's horn punctured through his chest. The real pain only came then. But he looked numb and in shock. He couldn't speak. Frieza still had his arms over eachother Vegeta saw. Then he slowely started to laugh.
"Haha. Oops, guess you are out of the picture. Hehehe. Farewell" Frieza swung his head too one side and Kakarot fell off his horn and into the water. There it was. Kakarot, son of Bardock was no more. Now Vegeta was truly the last of the saiyans. He kept looking at the water where Kakarot had fallen in. He hardly knew him, they hardly even spoke against eachother. He was a true saiyan aftrall though. He faced Frieza even while they had no chance. He grew some respect for him. Kakarot had increased in power greatly. He had increased more in those few days on Namek then Vegeta had done after years of training. Incredible, the planet he had been raised on must be really hostile to be so strong when facing Raditz, who was not an altogether bad soldier, just not enough powerlevel to work with. Kakarot was different. He had noticed that when he first saw him. Vegeta thought it for a moment. He thought he and Kakarot had become super saiyans. He had so hoped the legends surrounding that had been about his family, the royal family. But even as one, he had no chance. That enraged Vegeta more then anything. His muscles tensed, he screamed in rage. Then he felt it again. A sudden blimp in his mind, a surge of energy coming out of nowhere. He looked at Frieza with fury in his eyes. Frieza looked confused.
"Whats with the gold aura?" Frieza asked.
Vegeta hadn't noticed it yet but his regular blue aura had changed into gold. Then suddenly it changed back again. Vegeta looked at Frieza and charged him. They sparred for a moment but Frieza just laughed it off.
"Oh my, you still have some spunk left in you. Good. I'm gonna beat you too pulp." Frieza gave two strong swings with his arms and overpowered Vegeta easily. Suddenly Frieza grabbed Vegeta's tail and ripped it off. Vegeta couldn't move a muscle. When he was a kid he had his tail ripped off once. He was in a coma for weeks. He could recover better now, him and Nappa had been working to get rid of the disability of the tail. Frieza laughed out loud as he threw the tail onto the ground. He then casually started to walk around him.
"Ah. Vegeta. I hoped you and i could have some time to talk. You see i still need to have the dragonballs working. I..." Frieza was suddenly distracted. He looked down at the shoreline. His eyes widened.
"Ahahaha! You didn't think i would find out huh? You can't keep fooling the mighty Frieza. So thats how you did it Vegeta!" Vegeta got a little bit of movement back and looked at the shoreline as well. There was Dende kneeled down on Kakarot's body. A green light surrounded Kakarot's body. He was being healed.
"This thing finishes now. I don't care if that kid has the password for the dragonballs. Die." Frieza aimed his arms at Dende who had no clue he had been spotted. Then a huge flame of energy came from Frieza's arms straight at Dende. Dende looked around eventually but it was too late. Dende and Kakarot where incinerated. Vegeta couldn't do a thing. He needed the kid, he could heal him. It wouldn't bring his tail back. Blasted, if only this planet had a moon. Frieza couldn't stand against an Oozaru. Their power tenfolds then. Frieza gave a little smile again.
