Hello everyone! We are back with more chaos! I appreciate the follows and favorites you guys have given to this story. I'm trying to keep up with everything so I'm sorry if this chapter seems a little late to you all. I'm currently several chapters ahead of writing and I got to say that these fights are just the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, I hope you guys and gals enjoy this chapter!
Shepard has done it this time! As he struggled against Frieza, help arrived in the form of Goku. With both putting forth their full effort, will it be enough? Will they receive any more help? What will happen once Frieza finds out their secret? And what will the others do if Frieza gets by the first line of defense? And what of Raditz? So many questions to be answered in this chapter of Dragon ball: BtG!
Review(s)

Location: Namek
"Whoa!" Goku yelled out, dodging Frieza's blast. Shepard had joined in moments prior, dodging the opposite way and launching his BanHammer through the sky, making Frieza dodge out of the way. Frieza sped toward the thought to be vulnerable Rogue, but Goku recovered, slamming the Golden Staff into Frieza's jaw and making the tyrant spiral away. Shepard flew in fast, dropping both feet into Frieza's stomach and sending him toward the ground. Frieza flipped, coming short of the ground as he seethed at the Saiyans. But a look at the sky confused Frieza again. He couldn't make sense of the sudden darkness.
"W-What are these monkeys doing to the sky?" Frieza looked up again, flummoxed as to the happenings.
Shepard and Goku both dropped to the ground, the former holding his hand out as his weapon came to his hand.
"Keep stirring in confusion asshole. Once you figure it out, you're gonna hate yourself." Shepard said, pointing the BanHammer at Frieza.
"Besides, your short ass doesn't need to concern yourself with the sky. THE BATTLE'S ON THE GROUND!" Shepard yelled as he charged ahead of Goku, who was a second behind him.
Frieza charged as well at the pair, dodging Shepard's thrown fist and slapping him away hard with his tail. Ducking below a swing from the Golden Staff, Frieza grabbed it when it came back around. Goku and Frieza both struggled for a few moments before Frieza smirked.
Goku shouted in surprise when Frieza's tail coiled around his leg, picking up Goku and slamming him into the ground.
Frieza flew into the air, preparing to fire a litany of blasts. He was intercepted by Shepard, who went to swipe at the Tyrant. Frieza dodged, bringing his foot back and kicking Shepard hard in the face. Frieza hurled a blast at Shepard, only to be angered when Goku smashed it away with the Golden Staff.
"TAKE THIS!" Goku swung the Golden Staff, making Frieza dodge backward, moving his head around the errant swings. Shepard joined in moments later. Both Saiyans were attacking full force, a red-crimson aura surrounding each. Shepard swung the BanHammer down, missing Frieza as the tyrant moved around it, catching the Rogue with a kick to the jaw. Moving his body back an inch, the Golden Staff just missed his head. Frieza seamlessly phased in, quickly charging a blast into Goku's stomach.
"D-Darn IT!" Goku was blasted away, colliding with a rock formation.
Having recovered from the kick, Shepard was about to move towards Frieza before the Tyrant beat him to the punch.
"OOF-AUCK!" Shepard spat out a wad of blood as he hung over Frieza's knee. The Tyrant put a finger to Shepard's chin, bringing the Saiyan's head up to his level.
"Either tell me what I want to know, or I begin killing you, slowly monkey. Be careful with your next choice of words."
"Damn! We need just a bit more time!"
Shepard didn't listen to Marc. Instead, he coughed blood into Frieza's face, who licked what went across his mouth.
"Ugh...f-for being so regal, you s-sure know how to be a disgusting-" Frieza cut off Shepard, grabbing his neck and squeezing. Shepard clawed at the hand. Swinging with the BanHammer, Shepard watched his last hopes get knocked away as Frieza smashed his forearm into his own, pushing it back and sending his beloved weapon yards away.
"You...have disrespected me...FOR THE LAST TIME!" Frieza yelled in Shepard's face, pushing him onto his knees.
"I would save you for my father, but he will just have to settle with your death at my hands. BEG TO LIVE MONKEY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Frieza squeezed harder, making Shepard's head begin to feel lightheaded.
"SHEP! SHEEEEEEEEP!"
Shepard's vision was starting to go black. Out of last-ditch effort, he ignited a blue ki blade, but it was caught by Frieza, who snickered.
"What was that supposed to do? Hahahahahaha surely you realize you are mere seconds from death. Yet you continue to resist!" Frieza squeezed Shepard's hand hard. Shepard would have screamed in agony when the SNAP echoed, but Frieza still held a hand tightly around his neck. Frieza loved seeing the pain in Shepard's eyes. His own eyes seemed to glow with sinister intent. The look sent a shiver down the Rogue's spine. Releasing the hold on the hand, Frieza held Shepard out with his other hand, igniting a bright pink ball of energy.
"Know this monkey, to have made me use a quarter of my full power, I commend you. You could've joined my ranks. And yet, you choose to be like all your other monkey ancestors before you. Stupid beyond reason. Hm hm hm hm hm well well, another monkey to be sorted to the Hell he belongs in! Hahahahahaha-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!"
"Wha-"
BAAAAAAM
The Golden Staff smashed Frieza in the jaw, making him release the near-broken Shepard, who fell in a heap on the ground. The shot shoved Frieza back a few feet, holding his jaw in rancid anger!
"ENOUGH?" Frieza phased in quickly, moving faster than Goku could sense, appearing behind him and hitting him in the back with a kick, pushing Goku forward. Goku turned as quickly as he could, but Frieza had already gotten behind Goku again, slamming an elbow into his back.
"AGHH!" Goku was pushed forward again but prepared for Frieza's next attack. He predicted right when Frieza appeared behind him as he turned around, swinging hard. It collided with Frieza's hand, but the flexibility of the weapon made it snap around and ding Frieza in the side of the head, turning it. Goku swung again, but Frieza caught it with both hands. Goku saw a crystal-like gleam behind Frieza, watching it coil like a snake!
"AHHH!" Goku dodged Frieza's ice-covered spike of a tail. Frieza tried several more times, figuring Goku couldn't use the weapon if he had ahold of it as well. Goku realized the predicament he was in and decided to improvise, letting go of the Golden Staff and jumping over another Ice Spike.
"HAAAAAAHH!" Goku threw his fist forward, impacting Frieza in the back with a Kiai. He pushed the Tyrant several feet forward before Frieza turned and launched the Golden Staff at Goku like a dart. His sneer turned to shock when Goku caught his weapon, whipping it so fast without losing momentum and smashing the staff into Frieza's side, sending Frieza a dozen feet in a flip, flipping over onto his feet and firing Death Beam's in Goku's direction. Goku flipped the Golden Staff in his hands, deflecting many of the blasts before sending one towards Frieza via a deflection. It snapped Frieza's head back. He brought his head back straight, a singe mark on his forehead.
"ENOUGH?" Frieza yelled again, phasing over and almost punching through Goku. The Saiyan did not have a chance to guard as he was hit in the back. He fell forward, getting up quickly, but not fast enough as Frieza kicked him behind his leg, making him fall again. Frieza quickly wrapped Goku in a rear naked choke, applying enough pressure to make Goku drop his Staff and attempt to pull Frieza's arms loose.
"I say when it's enough Saiyan! Who do you think you're dealing with? I'M THE STRONGEST! IN THE UNIVERSE!" Frieza took Goku in the air, quickly launching the shouting Saiyan back into the ground hard, cratering out the ground. Frieza silently dropped to the ground, walking towards the recovering Goku.
"I AM THE EMPEROR!" Frieza phased in, kicking Goku hard in the ribs, sending him out of the crater. Goku almost went high into the air but was slammed back down by Frieza's tail into the ground once again.
"NEVER WILL I BEND MY KNEE IN INFERIORITY TO A MONKEY!"
"Ha...ha ha...ha...auck-*spit*...ha... So sure of...yourself." Frieza heard the weakened voice of Shepard, only a couple dozen feet away. He was looking at the sky, blood leaving his mouth as he continued to laugh. Frieza had Goku in his hand but threw the Saiyan over near Shepard.
"Oh, I know exactly who I am, monkey." Frieza phased over, stomping his foot into Shepard's chest. The Rogue wheezed through his laughter, feeling another rib shatter underneath the Tyrant's foot.
"I seemed to have missed the joke, care to...fill..me in monkey?" Frieza, while speaking, had grabbed Shepard by the neck and hoisted him up. Shepard was delirious, but he knew he was still in his right mind just enough to see the now bright sky!
"Y-you...lose..." That was all Shepard said.
"Lose? I HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Frieza shook Shepard angrily, slapping him in the mouth.
"H-he means... Heh heh heh...the dragon...balls... Heh heh heh heh.." Goku answered.
"W-w-what?" Frieza's mind worked quickly. His eyes widened in horrified realization as he looked at the brightened sky.
"The...My... My...Dragon Balls...they were...No...NOOOOOO! MY WISH! YOU! YOU FILTHY MAGGOTS WILL DIE FOR THIS!" Frieza yelled, finally realizing the situation. His power swelled in his anger, making the planet quake under his ferocity.
"AHH!" Frieza jumped into the sky, holding a finger up, making a swelled balloon of malicious energy!
"YOU HAVE RUINED MY CHANCE FOR IMMORTALITY! YOU LOWLY PATHETIC APES HAVE COST ME EVERYTHING! DIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" Frieza threw the Supernova blast toward the pair of downed Saiyans! Shepard thought quickly. Holding out his hand, he mentally called his weapon to him.
"G-Go-Goku, gr-grab the BanHa-BanHammer!" Shepherd choked out in pain, heaving the heavy weapon to his other side within arm's distance of his friend. He was fortunate that Goku was thrown within only a couple of feet of him.
"W-wha-?"
"TOUCH! NOW GOKU!" Shepard used his remaining energy to yell out as the Supernova touched down on top of them!...
"VEGETAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Frieza yelled as he sped through the sky. He didn't bother looking back at the incredible explosion behind him. He was furious!
'How could I have been so blind! Those monkeys tricked me! ME! I AM THE EMPEROR! THEY WILL ALL SUFFER!'
Frieza was so laser-focused that he almost missed a shining star far ahead of him!...
Raditz had conserved the Kaioken, flying through the darkened skies. He could sense the dire straights his brother and rival were in. The sky had brightened again as he flew, but he paid it no interest. His only interest was now a short distance away!
"Gotta go faster! Blast it!" Raditz's power flashed across his body as he increased his speed. He felt momentary confusion when he felt Frieza leave the pair of Saiyans as well as their ki disappearing, which could only mean...
"Dammit! DAMMIT! KAKAROT!"
He could feel Frieza leaving, and heading in his direction.
All he had to do was place himself right in the Tyrant's path...
"FRIEEEEZAAAAAAAAA!" Raditz yelled. Frieza couldn't hear him, but he could see the shining star getting closer.
"What is this? My dragon balls have already been used, and now someone else dares to defy me! WELL FINE!" Frieza increased his power further, increasing his speed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
The two collided in the air with the force of an atomic explosion, each with a fist implanted in the other's cheek. The clouds were blown back as the shockwave from the clash sent tidal waves roaring across the planet.
"U-UGHH!"
"A-AGHHH!" Both fell towards the water, but somehow each righted themselves in the air. Frieza recovered first, flashing forward and looking to impale Raditz, but the burly Saiyan somehow grabbed ahold of Frieza's hand. Gritting his teeth, he looked at his oppressor, who growled at him.
"You? YOU? RADITZ THE WEAKLING IS DEFYING ME NOW? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Frieza yelled in pure rage, slamming his tail into Raditz's hand and breaking the hold before he put both hands together, firing a deadly wave of pink energy which drove Raditz back. The Kaioken Times 20 that Raditz charged up had left him, as did his last desperate strength to withstand the titanic blast from the Tyrant.
"AGHHHHHHHHHH!" Raditz yelled, driven back into a small island that exploded in a bright wave of intense heat.
Frieza paid him no mind any longer, flying away quickly...
Age: ?
Location: Conton City
The Saiyan, who stood 6'3" wearing an outfit similar to Goku, with the color scheme being grey on the outside with a black undershirt, ran across Conton City in a mad dash. He jumped up the 30 steps leading to the portal which housed the Time Nest. He was strapping on his last wristband when he ran head-first into another patroller. He took a step back ready to shout but froze when he saw the young patroller. She was adjusting one of her shoes before she leered back at the Saiyan.
"WATCH IT JERK!" She yelled. The Saiyan winced at the octave, poking at his ear.
"S-Sorry Hazel, but you're uh...You're in the way of the portal heh heh heh!"
Hazel put her shoe on the ground, putting it on without assistance.
"Hmph. You should be thankful I didn't take your butt back to the Patroller Hub, Matato!" Hazel snapped before walking through the portal.
"Hmph, bitch." Matato said, following after her a few moments later.
The transition from one realm to the other was seamless.
Matato came through the portal, seeing the pair of buildings to the right and heading towards them. He entered the 1st building, hearing Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, going through the many scrolls that lined the walls.
"I see you two finally made it." A voice over to the right called out.
"Yo Trunks! What's the deal?" Matato asked as Trunks stood to his full height, his long hair tied behind his back as he walked over to the scrolls.
"That's just it. I'm not sure. Chronoa called me in here minutes before you both arrived." Trunks looked over at the human female, who stood 5'1" with straight blonde hair and hazel-colored eyes.
"How've you been coming along with your training, Hazel?"
"Great! The Old Man recently unlocked my Ki. I didn't know I had all this energy inside of me!"
"Hmph." Matato wasn't shaken. His base form alone was enough to probably handle Hazel's max.
"You're getting on my nerves big hair!" Hazel said, getting into Matato's personal space.
"If I wasn't stuck with you I'd be getting further along in my own training!" Matato threw his hands up in disgust before Trunks put a hand on both of their shoulders.
"Calm down both of you. Matato, your experience is crucial to helping Hazel become a properly trained Time Patroller. Besides, didn't my father just get done kicking your butt again not too long ago?" Trunks asked with a small smile.
"Okay maybe! But I got Blue down now. No problem!" Matato said.
"There's so much more to discover, Matato. You remind me a lot of your grandfather."
"Let's...not mention him for the moment. Look where's the Supreme Kai of Time?"
Said mentioned woman was bustling through the other side of the room, too many scrolls in her hands to count. Trunks quickly came over and assisted her.
"Whew! Thanks, Trunks! Oh great, Matato and Hazel are both here. This makes this even easier." Chronoa said, walking over to a small cupboard and typing a few buttons on a pad. A small slot opened and Chronoa put her hand inside, grabbing what looked like a scroll that appeared different than the rest.
"Shepard's scroll?" Trunks asked, surprised to see it.
"Yup! Something is going on inside, but I can't pinpoint it. Toki-Toki just will not give me any clues. It's as if the scroll itself is locked in a set path and we haven't been able to open it again." She explained.
"But isn't that a good thing?" Matato asked. The others looked at him in confusion.
"W-well I mean in theory, wouldn't it mean that the timeline can't be messed with at all? It's one we shouldn't have to worry about."
"In most cases that is correct. But the problem here is that we don't know if it was sealed by something that occurred within the very timeline itself or outside of it. If we knew, I could better figure out the situation. This is boggling. Until I know more, I want both of you to find Azoo and head to the new Dimensional Training Chamber."
"Oh come on! I just got my ass handed to me by Vegeta!" Matato complained.
"This threat, it could be bigger than that Matato. Hazel you will need to refine your Unlocked Potential. I believe that the new form my Mentor achieved can be unlocked if you continue to shatter your limits. I have a feeling you'll need it." Trunks stated.
"Plus you should all be thrilled! With the new toys and project prototype equipment we've been trying out, you should be able to make plenty of good gains in power." Chronoa stated, winking and giving the Time Patrollers a thumbs up.
As the pair went back outside, heading to the newly made portal in Conton City in the forest area, Trunks turned to The Supreme Kai of Time.
"You're leaving out something." He accused light-heartedly.
Before Chronoa could reply, Toki-Toki swooped in, landing on top of the blue-colored scroll.
"KIII!"
"Wh-What? You mean he's been trying to get in that exact scroll but he's been blocked?"
"Huh? He? Could it be Demigra?" The memory of Demigra invading the former Toki-Toki City still put the hybrid Saiyan on edge.
"No. No, he's talking about Fu. Fu can't get into the Timeline either. Which can only mean something or someone extremely powerful is in place to prevent interference."
Trunks was shocked! Since the beginning of the Time Patrol, every scroll that he had ever seen had opened on command.
"Can you even begin to hazard a guess, Chronoa?" Trunks warily asked. He watched as Chronoa's face scrunched up, clearly lost in thought. After a few moments, a light seemingly popped into her head as an idea formed.
"I'm going to reach out to the Old Man. Maybe he can point me in the right direction. In the meantime Trunks, why don't you seek Whis out and continue to further your training? I'll come and find you if I need you." Chronoa stated. Trunks was weary about leaving the small woman to her devices, but he remembered at 75 million years old, she likely had forgotten more things than he could remember, so he grabbed his sword and scabbard, placing them on his back.
"I think I'm going to try and tap into that power again. Whis has been pushing me hard these last couple of months. See ya later Chronoa." Trunks said as he exited.
The woman turned back to the table of scrolls after waving Trunks away.
"Now, how do I break in? I did it the first time but something between then and now must have happened, but what?" Chronoa asked nobody but herself...
He landed on the heightened pillar next to the lone house that stood. The sky had darkened as he flew, so he could only assume that the others must be using the dragon balls. He hoped they knew what they were doing. He barely took 2 steps when the door opened, revealing Sopran.
"He is expecting you, Piccolo." Was all the namekian said before moving to the side, head bowed down in a somber mood.
"What could Guru want with me?" Piccolo asked.
"It is time," Sopran said.
Confused, Piccolo walked past Sopran into the domed house. Once again he saw Guru, still sitting in his massive chair.
"Ahh, you've arrived Piccolo-COUGH COUGH." The wise elder looked down at the namekian that stood before him, now sure of his decision.
"Explain yourself. Please, Guru. Why have you called me here? I need to be with the others, and my student." Piccolo stated. He sensed a sudden shift in the elder. He quirked his eye in confusion.
"This Frieza...has murdered so many of my children, needlessly. COUGH COUGH COUGH. I fear my time is growing short, young one. I would have considered Nail-COUGH COUGH- for this endeavor. However, with his death, I am left with but 2 options, Son Of Katas." A few seconds of tense pause occurred between the 2.
"Go on," Piccolo crossed his arms, hesitant about what he was going to hear next.
Elder Guru took a deep breath. He smiled sadly as he looked at the young Namekian. Already he could see that his 'gift' of helping Piccolo had served him greatly. His power continued to increase steadily after the fights with Bonyu and the Ginyu Force. Stronger than Nail was, he knew for sure that Piccolo had the Super Namekian genes necessary to accomplish what needed to be done. But he was so very tired and could feel his life force steadily diminishing. He had minutes of natural life, at most.
"The first option is to pass on. Pure-hearted warriors always rise to a new level of strength when forced to defend themselves against the vile sort of darkness this Frieza represents. And though you are not pure of heart, you are indeed righteous. COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH- I am tired, young one. For over five hundred years, I have seen much. And I am ready. But." Guru squeezed both of his armrests. His aging hands not quite having the strength they used to have. But he began the once thought impossible task of standing. Slowly standing to his full height, he was nearly twice as tall as the jaw-dropped Piccolo, who took a step back in astonishment.
'The amount of strain on his body... This must be very important.' Piccolo thought.
"There is-COUGH COUGH...COUGH COUGH COUGH... another option..." Guru took another deep breath, centering himself. "When your father decided to split himself into dual identities, he did so intending to never rejoin together again. The positive half of your father, Kami, believes in you Piccolo, as do I. Which is why I offer to merge my self, my essence, with you."
"W-WHAT?" Piccolo yelled out. He was expecting something crazy, but this was beyond anything that he could imagine the elder Namekian would ask of him!
"COUGH COUGH- we haven't much time, young one. This is temporary, of course. Assuming everything goes well for us, we shall still have the dragon balls to sort this out when it is over."
"W-What will happen to me? Will I even still be 'me' anymore?" Piccolo snarled. The idea of merging with Guru did not sit well with him in the slightest. But he knew they were desperate. He could feel Frieza on the move again, and he hated not having the proper time to make an intelligent decision.
Guru coughed loudly. He understood the young namekian's concerns. "You need not worry yourself, child. COUGH- your body is far younger than mine. Therefore, it will be the base. I offer my power, my knowledge as well as my memories, and the desire to see this menace pay for his actions."
Piccolo wasn't sure if it would be enough, but if it could give him some kind of edge, even if temporarily, then it was something he had to do. Time wasn't getting any slower!
"A-Alright! We don't have all day. So what do I need to do?" Piccolo asked with urgency. He could swear he could see a small smile glide across the giant Elder's face.
"I will...COUGH COUGH...I will place my hand on your chest. All you must do is accept me. Thank you, young Piccolo."
"For what?" Piccolo stood as tall as he could as Guru's hand came closer to his chest.
"One last time... I will see this through to the end... To avenge the slaughter of my people. And then... I...COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH- will rest!" The hand nearly covered the entirety of Piccolo's upper chest, but the touch was as gentle as a feather. It was only a couple of seconds later that Guru's Ki began to rise, his aura taking hold. Piccolo was nearly overcome with the output but held firm as Guru's power began to vibrate through Piccolo. He gritted his teeth as he could feel a wholeness begin to shroud him. Surround him. It entered his mind, and his very soul as he felt the encompassing light that Guru let off become so bright he couldn't see!...
Sopran felt it before he heard it. He was only a few hundred feet in the air away from Guru's home when the building began to glow before a bright light blew through the top of the house. The world felt like it was quaking as he looked on in shock!...
The light began to die down as the Namekian who stood before the remnants of the former house opened his eyes. He could feel the remaining children on the planet. Closing his fists in subdued anger, the pillar began to crack under the weight of his new, dramatically increased strength. Only seconds later, the land fell out from underneath him as he stayed motionless in the air...
Sopran flew closer, coming within a dozen feet of this new, incredibly powerful Namekian that stood before him. Some tears wanted to come out, for he could still feel his father, but the Namekian that stood in the air was most certainly not him any longer.
"A-Are...You..?"
The Namekian looked over towards him, eyes alert and seeing more than the physical.
"Sopran...Only Moori could be as worthy as you are to be the new Grand Elder. Guru exists within me now, but know that this will not be the last you see of him. I must go. Frieza will kill the rest of the children and warriors if I don't try to get to him first. Thank you for accepting this task." The Namekian said. He stood far more confidently than Piccolo did before, but otherwise, there didn't appear to be any physical difference. The difference in power, however...
He flexed his hands as lightning streaked across his arms.
"This...is incredible. Unbelievable... But I must not delay any further. I'm coming for you, Frieza." Before Sopran could blink, the Namekian took off at hypervelocity, leaving behind a massive torrent of water.
Sopran shed a tear, uncertain of what to do until he simply vanished from sight...
The other Namekians were waking around Moori as he too woke up. His last memories were of agony. Searing, bludgeoning pain that he wouldn't wish upon anyone. He stood up slowly, woozy at first but otherwise unharmed. Getting his bearings together, he reached out to his father for his warmth and pulled back in stunned, agonizing suddenness. He couldn't feel Elder Guru, at least not physically.
"What is...going...?" He looked around confused before he and the other namekians vanished without a trace...
The dragon vanished suddenly. Everyone watched as the dragon balls began to float in the sky before taking off into the atmosphere.
"There... It's done." Yamcha said.
"Done?" Vegeta phased over, grabbing Yamcha by the collar of his Gi.
"DONE? YOU...IDIOTS! ALL OF YOU!" Vegeta yelled in rage. He had hoped they would come to their senses but he wasn't really surprised. "YOU'RE ALL FAR TOO SOFT TO DEAL WITH ANYTHING LIKE FRIEZA! HE'LL KILL US-"
A beam, thin and yellow, pierced through Vegeta's back, coming out through his chest. Vegeta tried inhaling but fell over holding his wound.
"HEY WHAT WAS-" another blast hit Nappa, blowing through his stomach.
"Wh-?"
"HEATHENS!"
Orn yelled out. Tien and Yamcha both put their hands down. Yamcha reached into his satchel on his belt and pulled out one senzu bean, tossing it to Tien, who reluctantly, took a knee next to Vegeta, turning him over. The Prince spat out a pint of blood as he angrily looked at the Triclops. Tien didn't immediately give the Senzu bean to him.
"If you ever attempt to cause harm to anyone I care about outside of a spar, it will be permanent next time. That was how easy I can kill you. I missed your heart by less than an inch. You hear me Saiyan?" Tien grabbed Vegeta by the front of his armor and brought him to within an inch of his face.
"B-Ba-Bastard-AUCK!" Tien waited for the blood to pass Vegeta's mouth again before he jammed the bean in his mouth.
Vegeta felt the pain begin to instantly simmer into a dull, soon-to-be-gone ache. He sat up, livid at first until he felt his power. It was overflowing! Far greater than what it was before. His first thought was to tear the Triclops to shreds, but then he saw Nappa on his own two feet as well, a burn hole bigger than his own in his armor. He felt Nappa's power and his jaw about dropped. He wasn't quite as strong as he was, but his power had also climbed far greater!
'Since being around these worthless Earthlings, my power has skyrocketed! But it's still nowhere close to Frieza's! Dammit!'
"Now why'd ya do that to me for human?" Nappa said, ready to lay into Yamcha. He was aware that Vegeta wanted to exploit the Zenkai, but he knew he was just a liability on the battlefield...
"Look we figured both of you would get stronger. Take it or leave it but we're on a time crunch. You feelin' up to get in on this with Frieza?" Yamcha slammed a fist into his palm, bravado flowing freely, even though he could sense the malicious energy making a beeline toward them.
"Ready? I don't know if you can ever be reading for something like this! Frieza's power is so terrifying!" Krillin said.
"I feel like a waste on this battlefield, but I will contribute however I can," Orn said.
"I hope Mister Piccolo gets back soon. I-I can't feel Dad or Shepard anymore." Gohan looked every bit the 5-year-old child at that moment.
Yamcha stood next to Gohan, patting the boy's head. He too was worried about the Saiyans. Feeling Raditz's Ki vanish was enough to motivate him to get ready.
"Hey Tien, you wanna make introductions to Frieza with me?" Yamcha playfully asked.
"Hmph, I've already met Frieza. I wish I didn't have to again. This is not going to be pleasant."
"Introductions? Frieza doesn't give a damn about introducing himself. We've pissed him off! He's gonna rip us to pieces now!" Nappa said.
Vegeta walked over to the end of the Island, feeling Frieza's power steadily growing with the decrease in distance. He thought, for only seconds, that his power might have been enough.
'If that 120 Million number the Clown spoke of is accurate then I estimate he is nowhere close to his max! DAMN HIM!' He clenched his fists as he heard what the others said, scoffing at the Bandit's easygoing nature.
"Hope you die first. Earthlings! Hmph." He silently requested, shaking his head, angrily searching for a way out of the situation, when it hit him.
'OF COURSE! How could I have been so stupid? There are Pods scattered around here. Orn will probably stay and die. Whatever, but Nappa will come with. We can get out of here and regroup. Train and grow strong enough to kill that bastard lizard! These Earthlings have a death wish in confronting Frieza now!'
As Vegeta came to his conclusion, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Yamcha and Tien were both about to take off toward Frieza.
"And just what do you think you're gonna do? Hmm? Kill Frieza? Hmm hmm hmm hmm! You're all idiots!"
"Shut up and shine your shoes, Prince. We got a Tyrant to fight!" That was all Tien said before he and Yamcha shot away. The Prince went to yell after them but gave up. He didn't care enough about them to offer any last words of advice. The only thing the Earthlings had going for them was that their power had increased massively over the last number of hours. How he wasn't sure. They still weren't as strong as him, and yet the other Saiyans were.
"This is hopeless..."
Frieza was still screaming internally, livid that a group of Saiyans and other aliens had outsmarted him.
'Those blasted monkeys... THOSE INFERIOR PESTS WILL PAY FOR RUINING MY DESIRES!'
He flew at full speed, flying back toward where his ship was. He wouldn't put it past Vegeta to try and escape with it, even though he had blown out the main window a short couple of days ago. He couldn't wait to see the Prince again. As he was thinking of the horrible, pain-wrenching punishments he had for the Saiyan Prince, he was oblivious to the danger ahead...
"GRRR...HAAAAAAA!" Yamcha yelled out, charging an enormous yellow ball of energy.
"You know that won't stop him. What's your plan Yamcha?"
Yamcha didn't have any bright ideas, but this was better than standing here in the air and letting the Tyrant have his way.
"I know it isn't gonna stop him, dude! I'm not putting all of my energy into it, just enough to get his attention. I think I can still sense the others alive, but barely. King Kai would've said something if they had died." Yamcha explained as he finished up his attack. Moving a little to the side, he looked out into the distance. They couldn't see Frieza just yet, but his power felt so malicious, Yamcha could have been deaf and blind and could still pinpoint the Tyrant.
"Yeah, this should be it. We're gonna need more people, man." Yamcha said to Tien, who raised an eyebrow in confusion for a few moments before he understood...
Frieza was flying one moment, going so blindingly fast that he passed right through a yellow ball of energy that exploded upon him! Pushed forward, Frieza turned and looked at the explosion in the air, growling as he began to look around.
"If this is another monkey trick-"
"It's not," Tien said, phasing in front of Frieza and crossing his arms.
"You're the one behind this pathetic attack? Hoo hoo hoooo and I here I thought you were trying to be an actual threat to me. I will deal with you in a short while, Triclops scum, but I am searching for a pair of lowly apes by the names of Vegeta and Nappa. Tell me where they are and I just may forget that you attacked me. Weakly, but you get my meaning." Frieza held Tien's gaze as the Crane could sense the plan almost fully formed.
"Well, that's just it, eh Frieza? If I let you go, you'll just shoot me in the back. What kind of idiot do you take me for?" The smirk on the assassin's face made Frieza's mouth twist in a snarl before he disappeared.
Tien didn't have a chance to look for him as a hand burst through his back. The assassin looked at the hand that was now through his chest.
"I. Wasn't. Asking." Was all Frieza said before he took his other hand and swiped through Tien's near-lifeless body, cutting it effortlessly in half. The body stayed in the air for a moment before it vanished.
"Wha-"
"SOLAR FLARE!" The real Tien had flown above where Frieza was flying, waiting in the skies to enact his part of the plan. When his clone body was cut in half, he phased in front of the now-disappearing clone.
"AGHHH! NOT AGAIN ARRRGGGH!" Frieza wiped furiously at his eyes, struggling to see.
"Kaioken Times 10!"
BAM
Frieza's jaw was hammered, pushing the Tyrant back a few feet.
"KAIOKEN TIMES 5!" Tien roared out, following up Yamcha's fist with a solid palm strike to Frieza's gut. It pushed Frieza back only a couple of feet. Yamcha used both feet and drop-kicked Frieza away, pushing the Tyrant through the air.
"WHE-"
BAMMM
Frieza was grabbed by his tail and flung hard toward the water as Yamcha looked on. Tien had phased down further below awaiting the flailing out-of-control Tyrant.
BAMM
Tien volleyed Frieza back up, slamming both forearms and fists into his back.
"SPIRIT BALL!" Yamcha ignited the yellow ball of energy, sending it fast toward the Tyrant. Frieza's stomach was hit by the ball, stopping his momentum in the air.
"WHERE ARE-"
BAM
"ARRRGGGH!" Frieza was caught in a volley between the spirit ball and another that Yamcha created on the fly. Frieza was stuck getting pounded back and forth as the Spirit Balls gained momentum, sending Frieza flying faster in between them. Frieza couldn't gain any control over his flight. Every time he attempted, he was cracked once again and sent the other way. After several seconds, Frieza's anger boiled over.
"ENOUGH!!" Frieza threw his hands out, sending his energy in all directions, instantly destroying the Spirit Balls. His vision was starting to come back, but all he saw was a red blur as it disappeared in front of him.
"AHHH!" Yamcha went in to elbow Frieza in the back but was caught by the Tyrant's tail. It started to squeeze around his neck, but the sensation lifted momentarily when Tien came into the picture. He punched Frieza hard in the jaw but was dismayed when the Tyrant showed little effect, Instead, he turned towards the shocked Crane.
"Enough of your petty resistance!" Frieza kicked Tien in the stomach. Blood rushed out of Tien's stomach through his mouth as he was sent wildly backward.
"Now, as for-YOEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!" Frieza shouted in agony as Yamcha bit through Frieza's tail, biting a chunk out and spitting it in Frieza's face.
"WOLF F-FANG FIST!" Yamcha yelled out, pummeling Frieza. As Yamcha went for the finishing blow, however, Frieza afterimaged away.
"CRAP!" Yamcha didn't have a chance to defend himself as Frieza chopped Yamcha in the side of the neck, then sent a knee into Yamcha's stomach, nearly making the Bandit puke his guts out. Somersaulting in the air, Frieza kicked Yamcha hard, making the Bandit explode into an island a good distance away.
"FRIEZA!" Frieza looked around and then up as he saw 4 silhouettes in the air.
"TRI-BEAM!" Each of the 4 shouted. Frieza was slammed like a hammer back into the water. The 4 simultaneous explosions left a square of water nearly a mile wide, reaching the bottom of the ocean fault lines. The 4 Tiens came back together, their energy depleted almost completely. The Crane slowly flew to the Island where Yamcha lay, unconscious with blood coming out of his mouth. He didn't get a word out before his body gave out from the massive Kaioken strain he put on it. Falling to the ground, the Triclops started to shake in pain as his body fought itself.
"I..AHH..D-DAMN IT.."
"TRICLOOOOPS!" Tien heard the uproar from the water as Frieza flew out in explosive fury.
"D-Damn it Yamcha... We're done for!" Tien said in resignation. Yamcha didn't stir, not even a centimeter as Frieza landed on the Island, staring at the vulnerable pair. His body had marks and scratches, but aside from that, Frieza was still relatively unharmed, except for the bite mark from Yamcha. His tail still stung, and he was going to make that one suffer, tremendously.
"Do lay there while I wake your little...friend hm hm hm hm."...
Moments Prior
"This isn't looking good at all! Man Yamcha's already down!"
"W-What do we do Krillin?" A trembling Gohan asked.
"We do what we must," Orn said.
"Yeah, you say that so bravely, namekian," Nappa said. He was sweating from feeling Frieza's power up close.
"We? No Gohan this is too dangerous! Your Dad'll kill me!" Krillin cried out. 'And Piccolo! And Chi-Chi! Yikes!'
"B-But-"
"Enough of this. Don't they see this as hopeless? And yet, they continue to fight. Why?" Vegeta said from the edge of the island they occupied, only a short few miles away.
"Gohan I mean it, kid! This isn't a sparring session!" Krillin was adamant, but a bright explosion threw all those plans away.
"Darn it! T-TIEEEEEEEEEEEN!!" Krillin yelled.
"I...I won't stand here and watch my friends die any longer!" Gohan cried out, taking off in the air.
"No! GOHAN!" Krillin took off without question, Orn following behind.
"Idiots! What-Vegeta?" Vegeta's aura surged powerfully as he screamed out. It nearly blew Nappa over as Vegeta leaped from the surface, breaking the ground underneath him!...
A kick smashed into Frieza's jaw, shocking him in pain as he was knocked head over heels a few dozen feet away.
"What's this n-"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Gohan continued his angered assault, pummeling Frieza in the stomach. Frieza gasped in shock and pain as the little boy in a practiced pattern pulled his sword out and started swinging without missing a beat. He dodged several of the sharp swings. As Gohan swung again, Frieza afterimaged away. Appearing behind Gohan, the Tyrant looked to impale the little boy through his head. Gohan turned in fear as he realized he was too slow, but his senses didn't lie to him. He desperately jumped high and away as Frieza turned to his side, seeing a blue beam of energy barreling towards him. He dodged away effortlessly.
"Crap baskets!" Krillin shouted.
"NOT NOW KRILLIN!" Orn yelled as he pulled Krillin by his Gi away from the blast that Frieza had fired when he phased back.
"More of you ants climbing an impossible hill! ANNOYING WORMS!" Frieza yelled out. The sound of a Ki blade being ignited reached Frieza's ears, turning around and grabbing Vegeta's hand. The Prince struggled to push the blade closer to Frieza's neck, but his hand wouldn't budge.
"And there you are!" The Ki blade broke as Frieza slammed a knee into Vegeta's solar plexus. The Prince could feel the bones in his chest shake as he was hit with what he could only describe as the hardest he could ever imagine being hit until the second blow came. A palm nearly snapped Vegeta's head off as it was forcefully pushed back beyond normal capacity. Frieza grabbed Vegeta's armor, pulling him in close.
"I've been looking for you, monkey."
Gohan and Krillin both landed nearby as Orn landed on a cliff above them.
"Oh? Do try to interfere, it will only prolong his suffering and will make yours far worst after I'm done with him." Frieza smirked at the pair before looking back at the Prince, who he then grabbed by his hair.
"If you had just stayed out of my way little Prince, I would have gained my immortality." Frieza took Vegeta and sped over to a nearby cliff, slamming the Prince into it. The crater nearly suffocated Vegeta, but he was pulled out.
"Instead." Frieza delivered a headbutt to the Prince next. A cut opened over Vegeta's forehead and he felt like his head nearly caved. He grabbed Frieza's arm in a vain attempt to muscle free, but his energy was sapped. Those few attacks from the Tyrant had done him in. Frieza slammed Vegeta to the ground by his severely damaged armor, walking up to him and kicking him hard in the stomach.
"You just had to get involved in my business." The Tyrant grabbed the Saiyan by the leg, slamming him down again.
"I'll see to it that you suffer greatly for your transgressions, monkey!" Frieza was about to pluck the struggling Prince from the ground again before he heard the ground cave-in behind him...
Nappa watched Vegeta take off as he was nearly blown back.
"D-DAMN IT VEGETA!" The General in him wanted to reel in the younger Saiyan, knowing he was heading towards almost certain instant death. But the warrior in him, the fighter in him, who could now sense power levels was conflicted heavily. He could see the battle taking place a scant distance away.
"Grrr... All my life... I was... I was groomed to someday guard the Prince of our race like my father had done before me... How would King Vegeta look at me from Hell knowing I cowered in the face of that bastard and let his son die?" Nappa thought back to his youth. His line was of elite status, held to a standard higher than most, the highest being royalty of course, but his only just behind. His father had given his life in saving the future King Vegeta during the terrible Tuffle wars. He didn't mourn for his father, for he thought the man was a piece of shit. But if there was one good thing he learned from the old man, it was that you put your best step forward when you really want to kill something.
"Ahhhh!" Nappa was shocked as he saw his Prince was in trouble. That shock instantly started to boil into anger, an indescribable feeling began to overtake him.
"Vegeta m-may be a lotta things... But he is my Prince first. I MUST fulfill my duty to him! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Nappa took off like a rocket. His anger fueled him at seeing his Prince in such shape. The destroyer of his race holding him like a helpless child. It was enough that the Saiyan general lost the fear that he had over the Tyrant, landing behind Frieza. He didn't wait for the Tyrant to turn around.
"Wh-BAM-AGHHHHHHH!" Nappa grabbed Frieza by his tail, viciously pulling him back and slamming him into the ground with enough force to shatter the ground beneath them, sending rocks all over the place.
"N-Nappa?" Vegeta looked on painfully in shock as Nappa proceeded to pick Frieza up and slam him by his tail once again. Frieza shot a death beam through Nappa's kneecap, leaving a hole in the ground behind him but the giant in his rage was undeterred, grabbing Frieza by his face with his hand, muffling the Tyrant's words.
"YOU!" Frieza's eyes widened as he felt energy blinding him.
"YOU TOOK MY RACE!" Nappa's eyes were whited out, veins bulging as his energy surged, growing even stronger than Vegeta, who looked on in astonishment. His normal fury at being surpassed was long gone at seeing his comrade, his teammate, putting fear in the Tyrant that haunted his nightmares. He was bloodied, battered from Frieza's short but brutal assault, but he looked on with pride.
Frieza's muffled screams could be heard as he yelled, feeling fear as a dome of yellow energy surrounded both warriors.
"YOU DON'T GET TO KILL ANY MORE SAIYANS!" Nappa yelled as yellow lightning started surrounding his hand that covered Frieza.
Gohan grabbed Yamcha's unconscious body while Orn had Tien's. They quickly sped towards the others.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Nappa roared in agonized pain as he pushed his energy as high as his body could handle.
"N-NAPPA DON'T!" Vegeta yelled. He didn't have time to keep watching as Krillin flew over quickly, supporting Vegeta as he went to fly. The Prince resisted, however, but Krillin had none of it.
"L-LET GO OF ME Y-YOU S-STUPID NOSELESS B-BASTAAAAARRRRDD!"
"NAPPA'S ABOUT TO BLOW! WE GOTTA GO NOOOOW!" Krillin yelled as he ignited the Kaioken, easily overpowering the Prince and flying away fast. Gohan and Orn also got clear, feeling the energy becoming too dangerous to stay around.
'All my life, I've been a soldier, no, a warrior. The amount of blood I left behind for this bastard. No MORE! I've given my service to the throne, now it's time that I finally rest! So long, Prince Vegeta!'
"IT'S OVEEEERRRR! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Nappa's final scream to the heavens, calling with the power of every fiber of his being to put an end to the very Tyrant that had taken his planet, and his people. He would die knowing he didn't quit on his Prince, that he put his life down for an honorable reason. All of it culminated in a white flash of light.
"NOOOO!"...
"Damn it!" Chronoa slammed her fist into the table. For the 19th time, she failed once again to break the magic on the scroll. She had placed a request very high on the chain of Deities, but in the meantime had tried continuously to open the scroll but she was steadily rejected. Even Elder Kai had failed at being able to open the scroll.
"Toki?" Her bird, Toki-Toki landed next to the scroll, clipping it with his beak.
"You too huh? I don't understand. I have to get in there Toki but I don't know what else to do!" Chronoa sighed in frustration. And she was exhausted. So exhausted that she didn't hear the portal behind her open, a figure emerging from it.
"I suppose I'll just have to gather everything up and try-"
"Excuse me, Supreme Kai of Time."
Chronoa's thoughts instantly zapped away, recognizing the voice. She turned around so fast, instantly going to a knee and bowing in respect.
"Grand Minister! H-How nice of you to show up so quickly. I would think you'd be too busy to help me personally." The small, blue-skinned deity gave a small smile, hands clasped behind his back as he took in his surroundings.
"Nonsense, Chronoa. You are one of the valued Kai's of the Multiverse. I may be an extremely busy individual, but by no means will I not attempt to help you if I can." The Grand Priest took a few steps, breathing in. He walked over to Toki-Toki, who cooed at him as he held his hand out, allowing the bird to sniff it.
"Whatever may be the problem today, Chronoa? Is my son too busy to assist you?" The Grand Priest asked, silently permitting Chronoa to rise back to her feet.
"I believe he is. My main Time Patroller broke through the Barrier and needed further assistance from Whis. A wish from the dragon balls insured his services heh hehe heh."
"Food I presume?" The Grand Priest asked innocently. Never needing to eat personally. His small, disarming smile beckoned the young (to him!) Supreme Kai to fluster.
"W-Well heh heh heh, it was at Lord Beerus' request of course, but when does Whis ever say no to food?" The Grand Priest snickered at those words, nostalgia settling in his ancient mind of a time long ago when his...he stamped that thought down and put it in the back of his mind. Now was not the time to think of the distant past. Before Supreme Kai's. Before the Gods of Destruction...
"He has always had the desire to try every food in the 7th. So what is it I can assist you with today Chronoa?" The Grand Priest asked.
The Supreme Kai of Time turned around, gingerly grabbing the blue scroll that was wrapped in gold string.
"It's this Scroll, Grand Minister. Not too long ago, an anomaly came across and somehow interjected itself into the Timeline. My partner Trunks, the one who is with Whis now, started gaining memories of a Saiyan he couldn't remember before. It ended up being his Uncle, a Saiyan man by the name of Shepard." The Grand Priest raised an eyebrow at the name.
"Go on." He beckoned her gently.
"Whoever he was, was extremely powerful. He fought off Trunks, who at the time had progressed in his training to a form called Super Saiyan Blue. The man was just a Super Saiyan but defeated him handily. He also seemed to know who I was, which is impossible! I didn't even know who he was in the first place. Anyway, after that, I tried to get back into the Timeline to assess the possible threat that this Shepard could pose. I caught only glimpses, but I would swear I saw Destruction energy. Since then, I haven't been able to get back in there. If he's anything like Demigra-"
"He's not." The Grand Priest interrupted. "Please, hand me the Scroll Chronoa so that I may observe." He asked. She placed the Scroll in his hand and watched as The Grand Priest held it up to observe. He took a quick look at Toki-Toki who squawked at him again. His eyes glowed blue for a few seconds, eyeing the Scroll intently.
What he saw caused his eyes to widen for the briefest of moments.
"I see now why you've called me here. This Scroll has been sealed, only to be opened in cases of an emergency. It would be wise that you lock this Scroll away and don't attempt to access it again. Doing so can lead to rife actions."
Chronoa was gobsmacked! This was a part of her job!
"E-Excuse me but-"
"I'm sorry Chronoa. I cannot and will not explain further. Whoever put the seal on that Scroll did so for a very specific reason. Breaking it would not be a wise course of action to take, especially not at this time." The Grand Priest explained.
"Now hold on a minute! My job is to survey all Time and if necessary, fix the very rifts that are caused by the pollution of damaging the Time Stream. How am I supposed to do my job if this Scroll can't be opened? I have to know what's in there Grand Minister." She bit back any further retort, noticing the subtle narrowing eyes of the Deity.
"This... Shepard, is not to be interfered with in his endeavors. This is not a request, Supreme Kai Of Time. There are reasons why I demand this of you. Many of which go beyond Time and Patrollers. This Scroll was sealed in the event that if a great Catastrophe were to ever come across this Multiverse, the answer to stopping it lies in that very Scroll. However, if it is opened too early, it could lead to extreme dangers. Dangers that no normal mortal could ever hope to handle."
"I understand that Sir, and I would never put any of my Time Patrollers in such danger if I can prevent it. Bu-"
"Supreme Kai of Time. Now, I am ordering you to place that Scroll in a secure place and for it to be only opened if it is properly needed. This is for the good of the Multiverse. No further, especially for your petty curiosities."
Any comeback the woman may have had died on her lips. She could sense the sternness in the Grand Priest's voice. Even a hint of concern. 'Maybe... Maybe it's for the best right now...'
"Yes sir." She bowed her head in shame and reverence, until the Grand Priest walked by her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"This will all play out, Chronoa. Someday, that Scroll will open and when it does, we will ALL need to be ready." The Grand Priest said as he released his hold on Chronoa.
"Now, I would like to observe my son training this mortal. Trunks you said his name was, correct?...
Many of the thousands of warriors were all off in various places on the massive Otherworld planet of Heaven, continuing to hone their ancient skills. One, however, was watching the Crystal Ball that was placed in the geographical center of the planet. He had dialed in on the planet his fellow Saiyan Bardock clued him in on. Namek it was called. He had watched the Slug known as Nail die at the hands of Frieza, as well as the other Namekians, who were slaughtered with quickness also at the Tyrant's lethal hand. He had watched the Saiyan known as Shepard, scowling as he did. Remembering a time when an older version of Shepard had taken him to task. He watched as Kakarot fought valiantly. Raditz, even the Earthlings who dared to try. He didn't show any other emotion until he saw the flame-haired Prince try to kill Frieza. Bardock had mentioned one of his visions of seeing Nappa or Vegeta dying at the hands of Frieza. He kept getting mixed versions, but he trusted his former soldier in arms.
King Vegeta scowled as he saw his son battered on the Crystal Ball.
"What's wit the look, sourpuss?" An alien standing a head taller than the King asked amusingly.
"My son is getting killed by the very bastard who wiped my planet and most of my people from the living plane, myself included. I don't have time to deal with you weakling. Walk away, now." King Vegeta didn't mince words. He continued to observe the Crystal Ball, jaw nearly dropping when Nappa came in out of nowhere.
"Nappa... You wouldn't... What is with his power?" King Vegeta couldn't help but think that Nappa's Saiyan blood lust had completely overcome him. It was as if his body had powered up with all of life force, forcing himself well beyond his normal limitations.
"What are you-?"
What happened next nearly made the King shout out. Seconds later, he lowered his head solemnly.
"Wow he went all out with that didn't he?" King Vegeta wasted no time, clocking the tall purple alien in the stomach and knocking him out cold.
"I have places to be."
Wow... Nappa went big didn't he? Going out with a bang not to dissimilar to how Vegeta does in the Buu Saga. Being realistic, I can't keep every Saiyan alive. I would love to give them redemption arcs of sorts, but its not feasible while trying to push the story forward. But don't worry you haven't seen the end of the big man (thumbs up!)

Now don't bash my head in for giving Nappa his proper (living) sendoff. I can't have every Saiyan survive the Namek Saga now can I hahahahahaha but don't worry, you will see him again. Things are getting chaotic now. Hopefully our heroes can pull through. Until we meet again!
