Chapter 20
Frieza could not even see the newly blonde-haired Saiyan moving at all. Apparently, all he could see was that Vegeta's whole body barely flickered. Immediately afterward, Vegeta was already holding his nearly unconscious mate in his arms.
"Kakarot," Vegeta caressed his mate's face cheek. "It's okay. You're safe now."
"Ve…Vegeta?" Kakarot was starting to regain his consciousness. He frowned when he remembered that Frieza's attack almost knocked him out. With his current power level, this was not supposed to happen, but Kakarot quickly forgot about it when he heard his mate's calm voice.
"Yes, it's me, Kaka," Vegeta gave him the usual smirk.
"You came back? But… why?" Kakarot asked. If he had known that Vegeta was coming, then he wouldn't have agreed with this whole mating idea.
"You were right. I had been running away from everything for a long time… now, it's time for me to get back my throne… and my mate as well. After all, this is my kingdom. Will you fight with me? For one last time?"
Kakarot gave him the biggest grin Vegeta had ever seen. "I've been waiting for this moment for so long time," He gave him a light kiss on the lips.
"Can you fly by yourself?" Vegeta asked.
"Yes," Kakarot nodded his head. Soon, he was let go of and was now hovering in the air easily.
"Prince Vegeta? You? That little brat?" Frieza growled lightly before giving the very nervous Ginyu Force, who were still inside the castle, the deadly glare.
"Frieza, give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart," Vegeta turned to the fake king with a deep scowl on his face.
Frieza held up his hands in the air in the peaceful gesture. "Vegeta… I thought you were dead, so… it was obvious that I was the best person to rule your planet. After all, I was your father's partner –"
"You are no longer welcome here," Vegeta interrupted him. "We, the Saiyans, don't need you anymore. So, I suggest you to resign as the King."
"Oh, you're absolutely right," Frieza chuckled darkly. "However, there is a little problem. What are you supposed to do with all other aliens? They are my allies, and they prefer that I am the King."
"But Saiyans don't want you," Kakarot snapped at him. "You've been stealing everything from us way too long enough. Vegeta is the rightful king, so it's time for you to leave."
Frieza glanced at the crowds, which were now divided up into the groups of Saiyans and of aliens. It seemed that Saiyans started regaining their hope, thanks to the returning of Vegeta and his new Super Saiyan powers, and that they were on verge of starting another war.
"The choice is yours. Either step down or fight," Vegeta said.
"Oh, Vegeta… Vegeta…" Frieza shook his head almost as if he was scolding a child. "That's why I hate the monkeys like you. You start everything in the violent way. Besides, aren't you responsible for so many deaths?"
Vegeta frowned when he heard some of the Saiyans muttering to each other in confusion, but this was not the place where they needed to know. "I've already put it behind me. It's not going to work anymore, Frieza."
"But, Vegeta, what about your people? Will they ever forgive you if they find out the truth about the death of King Vegeta?"
"Vegeta, what is he talking about?" Kakarot asked. He had this sinking feeling in his stomach for some reason. This time, it had something to do with the death of Vegeta's father. By now, he knew that Vegeta's past was much more than just troublesome obsession that held him back. Vegeta hid it so well that Kakarot did not see through him, although he suspected for a while and eventually shrugged it off as some kind of minor regret or something like that.
"So, you didn't tell anybody, did you? Not even your precious mate?" Frieza laughed lightly. "Well, then, now is your chance to tell them the truth. Who is responsible for King Vegeta's death?"
Vegeta paused for a short while before he took a look at his own hands. He had never forgotten the day he left King Vegeta… If he stayed and fought, then his father would have lived a little longer.
He closed his green eyes. "I am."
Everything went so quiet except the Saiyans' surprised gasps. The aliens were really enjoying this dramatic moment.
"Correct. And you also caused the deaths of Bardock, Nappa, and everyone else," Frieza smirked in amusement at the Saiyan Prince. "Will you really be fit to be the King?"
"No…" Kakarot said softly. He had already witnessed his own father getting killed, but he could not remember who blew him up. It could not be Vegeta… It was impossible. He was not accepting it at all. "Vegeta, please tell me that it is not true."
Vegeta shook his head. "It is true."
"There you are, Saiyans! He is the murderer! And then he abandoned all of you!" Frieza exclaimed.
"No! I'm not the murderer!" Vegeta said. "It was an accident!"
"Accident or not, if it weren't for you, King Vegeta and the others would be alive. It's your entire fault that they are dead!"
"No –"
"Are you in denial? Even after you admitted that you killed them?"
"I never killed them!"
"Now, everyone knows that you're still responsible for their deaths! You're guilty! We don't want you here ever again!"
Vegeta did not want to do anything except running away from this moment. He could not stand thousands of eyes on himself. He could also hear the loud laughter from the aliens.
Before he knew it, he received a strong punch on his face from Frieza.
"Vegeta!" Kakarot cried, watching his mate falling toward the ground. He did not even see Frieza coming close to and punching Vegeta.
He was about to go after Vegeta, but Ginyu Force quickly jumped in the front of the Saiyan, preventing him from going any further.
"Shit!" Vegeta quickly recovered a few feet above the ground. He wiped his bleeding lips. As soon as he sensed the fast approaching presence, he barely dodged Frieza's kick to his head.
Frieza fired as many red lasers as he could, making Vegeta work even harder by moving faster and dodging every attack.
"Stay still!" Frieza shouted, already being frustrated with this stupid monkey with the stupid new power. He fired a much larger red laser at the brand new Super Saiyan.
Vegeta tried to dodge by flying higher and higher in the air, but unfortunately for him, he got hit in the right leg. "Fuck!" He cursed at himself, as he grabbed his bleeding leg.
The fake King smirked arrogantly at the fact that he was still able to match against a Saiyan with the universe's strongest super power.
"Now, this looks familiar…" He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, as if he was trying to remember something. "It's like déjà vu… Where have I seen this before? Oh yes."
He smirked widely at Vegeta, who was trying to hold all his blood in his injured leg. "That's right. This was how your father looked before he died."
Before Vegeta could reply, Frieza appeared behind him and locked him up in his arms. He continued, "This is only between you and me. I killed King Vegeta. Your father and everyone else."
That was when Vegeta snapped. As his anger was rising, his pure energy bursting around his whole body was getting larger and larger. Thanks to the distraction of the sudden rise in Vegeta's power level, Frieza received a strong blow to his stomach by the Super Saiyan's elbow.
As soon as Vegeta was let go of, he turned around and gave, using his good leg, his enemy a powerful kick to head. He was charging up for an attack while Frieza was quickly recovering from the blows. "Final Fla—"
"Wait!" Frieza yelled.
"Why should I wait? You're a fucking murderer!" Vegeta asked, as he allowed the Final Flash to vanish into the air.
"Oh, now, you're calling me a murderer after you admitted that you are responsible for their deaths? You're now being a ridiculous hypocrite."
"Tell them the truth," Vegeta almost growled.
"Truth?" Frieza scoffed. "Why should I tell them? No matter who killed the King and the others, you are still responsible for the decisions you made –"
He did not even see Vegeta moving when his throat was quickly wrapped by the Saiyan Prince's strong hand. "No, Vegeta… Wait!"
"The truth," Vegeta growled at him.
"Alright, alright," Frieza held up his hands in the air in the peaceful gesture. "I did it."
"Louder."
"I did it! I killed King Vegeta and his Saiyan allies!"
Not even a second passed when the Saiyans yelled out of rage and started charging toward and attacking the stunned aliens who completely dropped guards. For all those terrible years, they had been suffering with poverty and hunger while those stupid aliens just sat around, watched them in amusement, and did absolutely nothing. For the entire time, they had been lied to about how King Vegeta just died in the war. Frieza told them that they had war against one of the alien planets, which was actually a cover-up story. Now that their Prince came back, they knew that they had one more chance to fight back. Or else their home planet would be fallen into an enemy's hands once again.
Thanks to the distraction of the loud fight below, Vegeta got punched in the face by the captain of the Ginyu Force. Hard enough to make his bottom lip bleeding. As in the result, Frieza escaped from the Super Saiyan's hand.
"Vegeta…" Kakarot said softly. The four remaining members of Ginyu Force were still hovering around the mate of the new Super Saiyan. They were about to attack when they heard a warrior cry.
"Hey, Carrot, we are here to save you from the wrath of this freezing person or whoever it is!" Krillin yelled, as he gave a strong punch to Guldo's large eye.
Piccolo, Tien, and Yamcha followed after him, taking on the three remaining members of the Ginyu Force.
"You guys…" Kakarot said softly before a big grin was slowly being formed on his innocent looking face.
It was so hard now that there were fights everywhere in the sky and on the ground. Low and high power levels everywhere. Explosions and smokes also distorted the sounds and visions. Vegeta wished that he had a scouter so that he could detect Frieza's location and-
He spotted something that was out of the place. Concentrating harder, he realized that it was Frieza trying to sneak away from the battlefield. "Frieza!"
He was about to charge, but Ginyu appeared out of nowhere getting in his way. "You...!"
"Oh, you're not going anywhere. You're supposed to be dead, aren't you?" Ginyu laughed lightly. "I'm sure Frieza will forgive me if you die right here!"
"Not so fast!" Kakarot yelled after using the Instant Transmission to transport to Vegeta. "Your opponent is me!"
"Thank you!" Vegeta yelled, as he was flying through the air fast. "I'm going after Frieza!"
"Kakarot, you may be one of the most powerful Saiyans, but your power level is nothing compared to King Frieza and Captain Ginyu!" Ginyu started powering up for a red energy ball. "But I know you're smarter than that. Don't you remember the day you first opposed King Frieza's order to wipe out Planet Namek? Don't you want a repeat of that?"
"It's because I realized that it was the wrong thing to do!" Kakarot said. "And that Frieza wasn't a great king after all. It was all lies. Even my own brother lied to me for him."
"So, that's why you tried to gather the rebellions, but didn't you learn your lessons from all of that when your friends were killed?"
"No... that's not it..." Kakarot said softly. "They were admirably brave, but at that time, I did not realize that what we really needed was a strong leader. And, that's Vegeta, the true Saiyan King!"
All of sudden, he quickly powered up with so much power that could be considered to be at least Kaio-ken x20. It caused a sudden but small destruction in Ginyu's scouter.
Thanks to the broken scouter, Ginyu could not detect anybody's presences at all. Because of Kakarot's high speed, Ginyu was not able to see him at all. All he could do was to try and withdraw Kakarot's powerful attacks in any form, such as physical attacks or energy attacks.
All of this was happening while Vegeta was searching for Frieza. The further he was away from the battlefield, the better he could sense Frieza's presence. It was no surprise to him that he found him sneaking out behind the castle. "Frieza!"
"Wait!" Frieza said almost in panic when he realized that he was found out. "Please, Vegeta. Have mercy."
"You don't deserve to receive any mercy," Vegeta said angrily. "After what you did to my people, I won't forgive you. Ever."
"But, Vegeta, I am the one who helped your people when they were starving to death back then. That was why your grandfather needed my help. I was the one who brought technology to your people! Technology that helped your people to grow their food!"
"Why should I believe you? Everything you ever told me was a lie."
"What are you doing to do? Are you going to kill me now?"
Vegeta narrowed his green eyes dangerously at the white monster. He could finish him off if he wanted to, but he didn't want to be a monster like Frieza. "No. I'm not like you, Frieza. So, please get off my planet and never return. Thank you for your help, but my people don't need you anymore."
Frieza chuckled softly, "Yes... as you wish... your Majesty!"
Suddenly, a small red energy ball appeared above Frieza's hand and was growing larger and larger within a second. It was way too fast for Vegeta to realize what was happening.
It was a large supernova attack. One of the most powerful attacks in the universe. The one that could destroy planets instantly.
Yet, Vegeta did something that Frieza did not expect at all. One of his special attacks, Big Bang Attack, was able to match against Frieza's large attack. A simple, small, mere blue energy ball actually deflected the supernova right out of Planet Vegeta.
That was the amazing power of Super Saiyan. After Frieza witnessed such power, he knew it was over.
And thus, Vegeta's other special attack, Final Flash, finished Frieza off for good.
