Chapter 31: The Fury of Frieza

Outside of Frieza's Ship…

Atop the highest mountain on this particular Namekian island, a temper that burned hotter than a sun was raging and flaring above the shaken group on the ground below. The Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, was scanning over the entire scene below and looking for one particular thing to focus on out of this entire shitshow display below him.

First, his leering gaze fell upon the now totally-stone Dragon Balls. Then, he turned his attention to the shaky and terrified remains of the Namekian populace. Then, to the entire group of hated Saiyan filth that dared stand before him. Moving his eyes from Vegeta to Raditz to Gohan to Gine to Chi-Chi to Bulma to Krillin and then, finally, to Bardock. He genuinely couldn't decide who to kill first.

Meanwhile, off to the side and still gripping onto Dende's wrist, Nail glared at Frieza with hate and agony in his eyes. "I allowed this to happen..."

Dende broke from his fearful stupor to glance up at Nail. Nail had tears streaming down his face, looking totally enraged. "Father... I... I let you die...!"

Nail gritted his teeth. "I..."

Dende tugged on Nail's coat. "Nail?"

Nail snarled. "I will not let you go unavenged!"

Everyone turned at the sudden roar of Nail and saw the warrior flying off the handle. Bardock shouted. "Nail! Wait!"

Letting Dende go, Nail flew as fast as he could right towards Frieza. The warrior drew his hand back as he lunged at the emperor, who had not even bothered to turn and face him, and shouted at the top of his lungs. "YOU WILL FALL, VILLAIN! YOU WILL FALL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! GRAND... MYSTIC... FLASHER!"

A massive, yellow Ki wave shot from Nail's hand and engulfed Frieza. The sheer force of the blast took off the entire top of the mountain and sliced through the ground that it collided with. Dirt and debris went flying as the blast skidded across the ground, eventually smashing into the Namekian sea and erupting into a column of utter destruction.

The smoke plumed up as displaced water rained down over the battlefield. Nail had a horrific scowl spread across his face, but his fellow kin cheered him on. The Namekians were ready to see one of their own take this monstrous invader down a peg.

But then a familiar pink tail emerged from the smoke, cracking like a whip, and smashing right into Nail's face. The strongest warrior of Planet Namek was sent flying like he was nothing and smashed into the ground hard with a sickening crunch. Every member of the remaining Namekians fell silent, their faces going blue.

Dende went running as fast as he could, tears of fear pouring from his eyes. "NAIL!"

Laying in the dirt, his eyes blank and white, Nail was out. Blood poured from the massive gash that the strike had left across his face and his crumpled body was barely able to muster a twitch.

The smoke cleared and Frieza was totally unaffected. And still totally silent. He continued to scan, uncaring of the babbling Namekian child in the distance, nor the bug he had just squashed. His anger was too intense, too seething.

Frieza glanced over towards his ship and saw yet another thing that made him angry. Lying face down in the dirt, Captain Ginyu's corpse was prostrate. The captain's face was turned away from the situation at hand, and his broken body was totally still.

Frieza didn't react to this. But mentally, he flashed a fair bit back.

A long time in the past…

Nanny Berryblue stood to the side, her sarcastic and slightly evil smile spread across her face. She watched as her precocious ward stood in front of his much larger charge, a look of amusement on his face.

The toddler, Lord Frieza, was totally enthralled by the stories and feats that Ginyu shared with him. Invasions and wars and battles and scraps and all forms of violence filled little Frieza's head full of genuine glee and delight. And the captain's flamboyant demeanor about the whole thing only made the future seem that much more appealing to the young tyrant. "These stories are amazing, Captain! Do you swear this excitement to be the truth?!"

Ginyu nodded and did a pose. "Of course, Young Lord! Working to expand the ever-growing reach of King Cold's influence is an always adventurous prospect! And I am always happy to do so because...?"

Frieza jumped up and down with joy. "Because it will all be mine, one day!"

Ginyu jumped with him. "Exactly, Young Lord! Exactly! That is the reason I chose to remain in waiting rather than join my peer Salza alongside Lord Cooler! It is because I know a winner when I see one! It is because I know that, one day, this entire universe will kneel to the name of...?"

Frieza shouted and pumped his fists into the air. "FRIEZA!"

Ginyu smirked. "Yes, tha-"

Frieza smiled up at his favorite subordinate. "AND HIS LOYAL SECOND-IN-COMMAND, CAPTAIN GINYU!"

Ginyu blushed. "Y-Young Lord... I'm touched. I-"

The Captain's wrist-mounted communicator began to ring and he checked it with a sigh. He shook his head. "You must excuse me, Young Lord. I have been called away..."

Frieza pouted. "Hmph. Why must Father always call you away like that?! I want you here!"

Ginyu smiled. "Worry not, My Lord! My parting is indeed tragic, but I will come back with yet more tales of grand adventure and conquest! So, I hope you are ready to hear them when I get back!"

Frieza chuckled as the captain ran off. Nanny Berryblue put her hand on the precocious little monsters' shoulder as he shouted. "They had better be even more entertaining next time, Captain!"

Ginyu turned and did a pose as he rounded the corner. "The captain will always return to his Young Lord's side!"

Back in the present…

Frieza turned his attention from Captain Ginyu's body and back to his hated enemies. And then, his frown turned into a smile and Frieza began to chuckle. "Well well well... I must say that you have succeeded in quite an impressive feat..."

The emperor leapt from his spot, on top of the small mountain, and spoke as he descended to the ground. "In my entire life, I do not think I have ever been quite so angry as I am right now. You have slaughtered all of my subordinates, including my irreplaceable Captain Ginyu, and you have robbed me of my claim for immortality..."

Vegeta, in spite of his previous terror, tried to adopt a cocky smirk. Raditz, Krillin, and Gohan were scared shitless and totally petrified. Chi-Chi and Bulma were both hidden behind the others, with Chi-Chi forcefully pushing her son back. And Bardock and Gine were both watching with trepidation as the monster that had already killed them both once approached. Bardock tightened his fists, ready to go at any moment.

Breaking the tense standoff, the older Saiyan marched forward. "What the hell are you all gawking for?! We knew this was coming! Now let's get to it!"

And then Bardock's group quickly powered-up to their maximum. The intensity of their collective power quickly impressed the Namekians. Meanwhile, Frieza merely smirked. He activated his Scouter out of mere curiosity and was mildly impressed.

Deciding not to fool around, Frieza crossed his arms over his chest, and then he heaved them down and let all of his power loose. A wicked, smiling sneer spread across the emperor's face and his full power surged across the Namekian landscape. The entire planet began to quake in fear.

Once this display was complete, Frieza turned his attention back to the terrified Namekians off to the side, with a hungry smile. "Tell me, can any of you remaining insects produce Dragon Balls?"

Elder Tsuno's mind immediately switched to Dende, the only living Namekian left who could perform such a feat. But he dared not look back for fear of tipping Frieza off. So the oldest remaining Namekian stepped forth. "You and your sick invasion force have slaughtered the entirety of the Dragon Clan in your disgusting rampage through our home! The Dragon Balls are gone! But... even if they weren't... THE NAMEKIAN PEOPLE WOULD NEVER STOOP SO LOW AS TO HELP THE LIKES OF YOU!"

Frieza sighed. "I expected no less."

And then he jabbed his finger at Elder Tsuno and sent a Death Beam through the old man's heart. The last remaining elder hit the ground with a thud and he was dead instantly.

As the Namekian's of the Four-Star Village gathered around their elder to scream their sorrows, Frieza set his gaze on Bardock's group. "Allow me to be blunt: you maggots have made not only a dire mistake... but you have made your last mistake..."

Frieza leaned forward, his animalistic fury finally breaking through his previously calm demeanor. "NONE OF YOU WILL BE LEAVING THIS PLANET ALIVE!"

Bardock was immediately unnerved. He looked around and saw a field of nothing but soft targets for Frieza's wrath. He turned to Gine and shouted at the top of his lungs. "GINE! Grab Chi-Chi, Bulma, and all of the Namekians and retreat as quickly as possible!"

Gine opened her mouth to argue, but she was cut off by a sudden flash of pink right in her face. Before the Death Beam could strike, however, a hand flew in front of Gine and deflected the blast. She looked up and saw her husband. "B-Bardock..."

Bardock whipped around and glared down at Gine. "ARE YOU DEAF?! RUN!"

Gine flinched, but she immediately complied. She turned and shouted at the Namekians and her much squishier human contemporaries. "Everyone flee! We have to clear the area right now!"

Bulma and the Namekians all started to run for the hills. One of the terrified farmers nearly tripped as he struggled to run and carry the Elder's body at the same time. Chi-Chi was also quick to follow this order, grabbing Gohan by the wrist and dragging the resisting boy with her as she turned tail and ran.

With everyone that Frieza could effortlessly kill gone, Bardock glared at the stinging burns on his hand from barely deflecting that last attack, then glared at his impending foe. "Goddammit..."

But he had no time for rest as the raging form of Frieza came rocketing right at him. Bardock held up his hands and grabbed Frieza's fists as they came flying at him. Eventually, the two of them came to a stalemate and locked up right there. The older Saiyan's inhibitions were gone and while, yes, Frieza's power was terrifying, Bardock didn't care. His own blood was boiling as he stared into the eyes of his hated mortal enemy. "Hey runt! Last time I saw you, you were the color of a raw shrimp. Now you're just the size of one!"

Frieza cackled. "Yes! Yes! Shower me with your spite! This is always my favorite part~"

Bardock roared at the top of his lungs and summoned all of his power to push against Frieza's. The force of the power was eating away at the ground beneath them, but Bardock wasn't done.

Frieza chuckled and sneered. "You would have been better off staying dead! Hell will feel like a vacation after all of the pain and agony I plan to provide you!"

Bardock shouted back in Frieza's face. "I don't care about pain or agony! I don't care if I die again..."

The older Saiyan smashed his forehead into Frieza's. "ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THAT I GET TO SEND YOU TO HELL, EVEN IF I HAVE TO DRAG YOU WITH ME, YOU BASTARD!"

Frieza and Bardock both reared back and smashed their heads into each other. Bardock's bandana snapped off and fluttered away in the harsh winds that this storm of power was creating, incinerating in the burning heat of the anger that was centralized in this one spot.

Frieza smiled as blood began to trickle out from between his and Bardock's foreheads, licking some of it from his face with his tongue. "You will have to try harder than that to take me to Hell, monkey filth."

Bardock's face then took on a furious scowl. "Pampered, little hellspawn! I'll avenge everyone that you've killed!"

As Bardock roared, his power exploded out and he and Frieza gouged a massive crater into the soil beneath them. As Bardock's power rose, the numbers continued to rack up on Frieza's Scouter, much to Frieza's shock, the red lens cracked and the device exploded from the side of his face.

With the boost, Bardock quickly began pushing back. His grip on Frieza suddenly became the dominant one, twisting the emperor's hands back as he stared in disbelief. With a roar, Bardock blasted Frieza away, launching him into the mountainside.

Bardock was breathing hard. The mountain suddenly erupted with pink energy and was incinerated. There stood Frieza. His armor cracked and its shoulder pads snapped off, and a scrape beneath his right eye. The blood trickling down was a deeper red, drawn directly from the emperor himself.

Frieza reached up to touch his face, wincing slightly at the pain it caused. Looking down at his hand and seeing blood, Frieza was livid. He glared at Bardock and Bardock chuckled. "I thought you were supposed to be the Invincible Evil Emperor, eh?!"

The tyrant frowned for a moment, but then he smiled as he casually clapped his hands. "Very impressive. I must admit, I never in my wildest dreams expected such vermin to acquire this level of power."

Bardock finally regained himself. "Don't be so surprised, Frieza! A lazy bastard like you has no idea what it means to be a real warrior! It's about sweat and drive! It's about pushing yourself to the limit every day and reaching for new heights! It's about taking head-on everything that holds you back and pushing on! You've spent your entire life relying on born talent. Never bothering to refine and improve on it! But at the end of the day, determination will always outshine talent!"

Frieza frowned slightly as he wiped off the blood. "I'll admit, there may be a grain of truth in your words. It is after all why I slaughtered your kind all those years ago. My Scouter certainly gave you some credibility."

Frieza held up a finger and pointed it at the fleeing Gine. "The woman is at 60,000."

Frieza pointed at Raditz. "Your son is at 240,000."

Pointing at Gohan. "The brat, who I'm guessing is your grandson, is at 210,000, which is even more astonishing given his tender age."

Pointing at Vegeta. "The proud prince is at 525,000."

Frieza then pointed at Bardock with a noticeable scowl. "And you, Bardock: You are at 515,000. But even more, in that brief moment during our struggle just now, you actually exceeded this form's maximum power. So I give you my sincere congratulations. You have joined an exclusive few able to have drawn me out and actually draw blood from me. Take solace in that in the afterlife."

Before Bardock could retort, two shadows came flying into the fray. Vegeta and Raditz both landed next to the older Saiyan, and then they simultaneously spun around and launched blasts at Frieza. Frieza leapt back in one direction and Bardock leapt back with Vegeta and Raditz in the other.

Skidding across the ground, Bardock wiped the blood from his forehead and growled. "Who asked either of you to-"

Vegeta ignored Bardock and charged at Frieza. The prince's power flared and he and Frieza clashed their forearms. Vegeta spat in Frieza's face. "Damn that ghost from the past! You and I have business, Frieza!"

Frieza chuckled at this new strength and backbone Vegeta was showing. "Poor prince. Have you already forgotten your manners... or are you just too scared to remember the word 'Lord'?!"

Vegeta snarled and threw a punch which Frieza caught. Frieza chuckled. "I promised Bardock and now I will promise you, Vegeta... this will not end until tears of fear and misery are streaming down your cheeks!"

While Vegeta and Frieza brawled, Raditz turned to his father. "D-Dad... what are we going to do here?! He's... He's so-"

Bardock cut Raditz off. "No need to state the obvious, Raditz! Frieza's strong and you're terrified, right?!"

Raditz nodded. Bardock shook his head. "All we can really do here is fight our asses off and wait for more backup to arrive. He's getting closer and Frieza can't sense him, so we have that to our advantage..."

The elder brother's shoulders slumped. "But, what if-"

Bardock shook his head. "No time for what-ifs, Raditz! We just have to fight for as long as we can! Nut up or shut up! Now either join in on this fight or step aside!"

Krillin went flying past Bardock and Raditz, screaming at the top of his lungs and Bardock turned to Raditz. "See?! Be like him!"

The monk knew he was outmatched. Watching as Vegeta and Frieza brawled, he knew that he wouldn't be the one to end this fight. But he had to do something to help out! In his head, Krillin pictured all of the dead and broken Namekians that Frieza had left in his wake. It turned the little monk's stomach. He had to contribute to putting this monster down somehow! Krillin pulled his hands to his sides and summoned a massive Ki blast in each hand.

Krillin dropped to the ground, skidding to a halt, and fired both of these attacks at once. "SCATTER BULLET!"

Over with Frieza, Vegeta was keeping the tyrant busy and distracted. The prince saw the attack coming from that Earthling pest and knew that that could be used to his advantage. As the blast started to overtake them both, and Frieza turned to see what the commotion was, Vegeta seized his former boss by the hands and held him in place. And then the Scatter Bullet overtook both of them.

Krillin flinched as the attack hit Vegeta as well, but then he felt around for what was happening within and he nodded. Krillin whipped the blast into the air and split it into portions before raining it back down.

On the ground, a slightly singed Frieza smiled at Krillin as the blasts rained down around him. "Did you really think a bug like you could damage me?"

Frieza aimed his finger at Krillin's forehead and the human flinched. He cried out. "NOW, VEGETA!"

A blast landed directly behind Frieza and, as Krillin's energy dispersed, a different kind of energy began to surge. Feeling the force on his back, Frieza turned to see Vegeta knelt down behind him.

The prince smirked and he thrusted his hands right at Frieza. "SUPER... GALICK... GUN!"

The massive, purple energy wave overtook Frieza's body and the emperor's jaw dropped. The force that Vegeta was putting out had managed to take the emperor off of his feet and destroyed what was left of his armor, sending another intense wave of pain through Frieza's body. The tyrant went flying back a few feet, but managed to plant his feet firmly into the ground to land upright.

Vegeta's attack finished and as the smoke cleared, Frieza was left standing there, looking pissed. He glared at Vegeta, but then Bardock and Raditz both came in for a strike. Frieza caught Bardock's fist and Raditz's foot and snarled. "You maggots are forgetting your place!"

Frieza slammed Raditz into the ground before leaping into the air and latching onto the older brother's face with his foot. The tyrant whipped Raditz into the air and used his leg to propel him into Bardock, sending them both tumbling back. Then grabbing Raditz around the neck with his tail, Frieza slung him directly into Krillin.

Frieza landed and summoned energy into his hand. "DEATH WAVE!"

He fired his massive blast across the field at Vegeta and the prince could only gasp as he struggled to block it.

Not caring to see what had become of Vegeta, Frieza turned his attention to Bardock. Bardock charged at him and punched the emperor in the side of the head. Frieza cringed a bit, but that did not stop him from rearing his fist back and putting it right through the side of Bardock's armor.

The older Saiyan groaned as he felt his ribs snap, coughing up a bit of blood into his cupped hand below. Frieza smirked and opened his mouth to say something sarcastic, but Bardock cut him off by whipping that hand full of blood directly into the emperor's eyes. Frieza hissed in pain and then Bardock struck again, smashing his fist into Frieza's mouth and busting the monster's lip. Bardock looked down at his fist and smiled wide as Frieza stumbled back.

Frieza wiped his eyes clean and shot forward at blinding speed, smashing Bardock to the ground with his tail before the Saiyan could react. Bardock groaned in pain and Frieza stomped on his chest. And then, the emperor summoned a giant blast above his head.

Over by Frieza's Ship…

Gine and Bulma were both frantically directing traffic as they herded the remaining Namekians into the relative safety of Frieza's damaged vessel. As Bulma shouted for their Namekian friends to hurry, Gine glanced back over at the raging battle and watched as their male allies all fought against the monster. She was just before despair at how risky this entire situation was.

As she watched on, another fight was happening much closer by. Chi-Chi was struggling, with all of the strength she could muster, to pull her young son into the ship for safety. Gohan was resisting as hard as he could, his blood-boiling as he watched Frieza pound all of his friends and family.

But Chi-Chi didn't seem to notice. "Gohan! Please! Stop struggling and just come inside where you're safe!"

Chi-Chi tugged again. "You're just a boy, Gohan! You don't need to fight monsters like that! Just come inside and-"

Gohan snapped. "YOU'RE WRONG!"

Chi-Chi flinched and Gohan finally pulled himself from her grip. "Mom! I love you, but you're so wrong about all of this!"

The mother was stunned. "Wh-What do you-"

Gohan shouted at her. "You're wrong about why I came here! I'm not trying to impress anyone; I just want everyone I care about to come back to life and be able to live in peace! You're wrong about me being some defenseless little kid! I'm strong enough that, even if I don't like to fight, I should pitch in and help whenever I can!"

Chi-Chi fell to her butt. "G-Gohan, I-"

Gohan gave one final shout. "And you're wrong about this place being safe! Nowhere on this planet is safe as long as Frieza is here! I've seen it firsthand! He doesn't stop! He doesn't quit! He doesn't show mercy!"

Chi-Chi was silent. Gohan turned away from her. "So, to save you, Grandpa, Uncle Raditz, Mr. Krillin, and everyone... I HAVE TO GO AND HELP!"

Gohan's rage broke and his power flooded out. He went flying off at top speed while Chi-Chi helplessly called out to him. "GOHAN! WAIT!"

Chi-Chi stood up and took to the air. But before she could fly off, both of her ankles were grabbed tight. She looked back down and saw Gine and Bulma both holding onto her. Chi-Chi stared at them, speechless and full of terror. Gine let loose a deep sigh and spoke in a clear, but obviously worried voice. "You have even less of a chance out there. Get into the ship Chi-Chi. Now."

The worried mother took one final tearful look towards her son, and then she was somewhat forcefully escorted into the ship by Gine and Bulma.

Back over with Frieza…

Bardock summoned a Riot Javelin to try and get Frieza off of him, but the tyrant was quick to lift his foot and stomp it onto the Saiyan's wrist. With that attack stomped out, a smile spread on Frieza's face and he began to mock his captive prey. "Is this the part where I am dragged to Hell?"

Bardock sneered. "I won't die, bastard! I won't die until I see whatever is left of you dead at my feet!"

Frieza smirked. "Ohohohoho... I wonder... did you wish for immortality by chance?"

Bardock was silent. Frieza's smile and chuckled again. "Well, as Captain Ginyu once said..."

The emperor's smile faded into a cold stare of pure hate as he pointed his finger at between Bardock's eyes. "Perhaps a stress test is in order."

Bardock gritted his teeth. "Kaioken!"

The sudden boost of energy caught Frieza by surprise again. He was completely blown off Bardock. As Frieza landed on his feet, he was quickly caught up by the hated Saiyan. Bardock slammed his fist into Frieza's face and sent him soaring again.

As Bardock let the Kaioken disperse, he silently wished he just caved with King Kai and told a damn joke. Even after how many times he used it, a basic 50% boost from the blasted technique was still so exhausting. He needed to get proper training with this technique to last longer.

Frieza was on Bardock during his brief respite. He was going to bash this ghost's skull in once and for all. But then, a screaming comet came shooting forth at Frieza. It was moving so fast that the force of its speed was practically making it whistle. The emperor turned to glare at this new intruder just in time for it to slam into his stomach.

Frieza coughed and gagged and was sent sprawling back. He glared at this new foe, ready to fight it, but the emperor's attention was immediately taken up by the returning Vegeta and Raditz rushing him and starting a brawl.

As the fight moved away from him, Bardock looked at the new fighter, and was not thrilled to see his grandson standing in front of him. Krillin came running up to join the two of them. "Hey, Bardock! Are you all right?!"

Bardock ignored Krillin and snapped at Gohan. "Why the hell are you stepping into this shit?! Your mother just got done riding my ass over this crap less than 2 hours ago!"

Gohan stood firm and silent, glaring at his grandfather.

Krillin read the situation, but then he smirked. He stepped over to Gohan and clapped his hand down on the boy's shoulder armor. And then, the human monk turned to Bardock and nodded. "The three of us made this trip together! We trained together and we struggled together! It wouldn't be right not to end it together. Right, Bardock?"

Gohan remained silent, still staring right at his grandfather. Bardock tried to remain stoic, but then a small, prideful grin spread across his face.

Reaching down, the older Saiyan ruffled Gohan's hair and chuckled. "Fine, fine. Guess I can't stop ya, can I? Just... make sure that I'm as cold and as dead as possible before you even think about dying yourself, 'kay? I don't wanna have to deal with your mother and grandmother shouting my damn ears off if you skin your knee..."

Gohan finally smiled back, showing the same amount of confidence his granddad was showing. "Skinned knees happen. But none of us are going to die here! Frieza is alone, we have each other!"

The boy turned and faced where Frieza was fighting Raditz and Vegeta. He and Krillin both braced themselves and Bardock sighed. "That's the spirit!"

And then the three of them charged!

Vegeta and Raditz, meanwhile, were working together to tag-team their former employer. In spite of their antipathy for each other, Raditz and Vegeta had known each other for the majority of their lives. Their teamwork wasn't an enjoyable experience, but it was quite effective.

Frieza was on his toes the entire time. For every hit that he blocked, another came rushing in to demand his attention. He swung his fist out for a sweeping haymaker and Vegeta and Raditz both hit the dirt.

They glared at each other and then Vegeta shouted. "Maneuver 7!"

Vegeta and Raditz both rolled out of the way as Frieza smashed his tail down. Raditz hopped up and then began to charge again. "How do we do Maneuver 7 without Nappa?!"

Vegeta summoned a blast in his hand. "The mountain behind Frieza can be Nappa!"

Frieza smirked. He was having an annoying kind of fun playing with these Saiyan cretins. The emperor turned and, to be petty, he blew up the mountain with his eye beams. He smirked at Raditz and Vegeta. "So, with your 'Nappa' gone, I suppose Maneuver 7 is canceled?"

The emperor was stunned by how close Vegeta and Raditz had gotten in such a short time. Both of them glared up at him, their fists wreathed in the same energy that Vegeta had summoned prior.

Raditz sneered. "There is no Nappa in Manuever 7! Kaioken x2!"

And then, the two Saiyans smashed their energy coated fists into Frieza's stomach. Frieza wheezed as the wind was forced out of him and stomach caved in. With the tyrant's guard down and his body fully exposed, Raditz took advantage. He flipped behind Frieza before pressing his back to Frieza's back and reverse-hooking his arms under Frieza's arms.

Raditz pulled Frieza's arms back and left the emperor wide open. "Vegeta! Blast him!"

Vegeta charged forward and summoned a much larger attack. He came right up to Frieza's face and let the blast loose while Raditz used the tyrant as a makeshift shield. Vegeta smirked at their success, but then Frieza's unfazed and quite angry face came shooting from the smoke and bashed right into Vegeta's nose. Vegeta fell back, clenching his nose, and then Frieza turned his attention to Raditz. He wrapped his tail around the older brother's neck and snatched him forward.

Frieza lifted the Low-Class Saiyan into the air and then slammed him, headfirst, onto his knee. Raditz sagged in Frieza's grip and then was tossed aside next to Vegeta. The emperor was angry but, before he could even think of a death threat, two blasts came rocketing towards him from the periphery.

"MASENKO!" "KAMEHAMEHA!"

Frieza turned on a dime and grabbed both blasts, effortlessly throwing them up into the air. He charged at Gohan and Krillin, both fists raised and ready to axe-handle the two of them into the ground, but his attack was intercepted by Bardock's feet, shoving the emperor back.

The emperor landed a few feet away and Bardock stood back up. He, Gohan, and Krillin all took fighting stances. Furious, Frieza held up a finger and prepared to end this all by summoning an attack that Bardock was all too familiar with: the Supernova!

Frieza snarled. "Burn, Saiyan!"

As Frieza tossed it, Bardock cursed to himself and leapt into the air as Krillin and Gohan dove to the opposite sides. "Shit!"

As he went into the air, however, Bardock noticed that the attack was following him. He growled in frustration. "Double shit!"

He raced higher and faster, but the Supernova was right on his ass. Bardock shuddered as he got closer to the stratosphere, the ill effects from the Kaioken still weighing on him. He officially made a decision: Next time he saw King Kai, he was going to have the doddering old fool properly teach him this technique. But for now, he had to push the envelope just a bit more. Bardock summoned a Riot Javelin and turned to face the Supernova. The last time he did this, his attack meant nothing. It was quickly absorbed and then he was dead. But this time was different! Bardock shouted. "KAIOKEN!"

Pushing his power level Bardock's Riot Javelin crashed into Frieza's Supernova and, to Frieza's shock and horror, the attack pierced his. The emperor stared up as the blast got closer and closer to him, ready to dodge and counterattack.

Bardock shouted from up in the air. "DON'T FUCKING LET HIM MOVE!"

Frieza was illuminated from all sides. He looked to his front and saw Raditz. To his left, he saw Gohan. To his right, he saw Krillin. And to his back, he saw Vegeta. Frieza snarled in a rage at all of them.

"DOUBLE SUNDAY!" "MASENKO!" "KAMEHAMEHA!" "GALICK GUN!"

All four attacks hit Frieza from all four sides, and then the final attack rained down onto him from above. "RIOT JAVELIN!"

The attacks all fused together, and then they formed a massive explosion. The force of the attack rocketed across the battlefield and kicked up dust and debris. One of the Ginyu Force's Battle Pods was kicked up and tossed into the ocean. And even Frieza's massive ship rocked from the sheer force.

Bardock descended from the sky, landing back down next to Gohan. Soon, they were joined by Vegeta, Raditz, and Krillin. The smoke cleared and, after a moment, Frieza popped up from the sand. The emperor was scuffed and mildly injured, his armor being nothing more than a memory and his Bio-Suit scuffed and scorched.

Frieza glanced up from his crater at his five enemies and was met with Vegeta's loud, smarmy tone. "So, Frieza, are you afraid yet?!"

Frieza took a deep breath... and then he began to chuckle. He glared up at Vegeta with a smile. "Oh, my dear prince, how overconfident you have grown in such a little time..."

The emperor turned his attention to Bardock. "And you... I must say that you continue to impress me. On your own, you managed to overpower my Supernova and push this form to its limits."

The defiant warriors all took fighting stances against Frieza. Frieza closed his eyes and chuckled. "The other three are vermin... no offense meant, Raditz. But you, Vegeta and Bardock, you will both be begging for the mercy of Hell when I next get my hands on you..."

Vegeta smirked. "Don't kid yourself, Frieza. You can barely keep up with us as it is."

Bardock continued staring at Frieza, but split his attention to Vegeta. "Shut up, you idiot!"

Vegeta turned to Bardock with a scowl. "What did you call me, you low-class scum?!"

Bardock couldn't believe the arrogant prince didn't understand the situation. "The fight has only begun. Think about Frieza's exact words. He said 'this form'."

Then, Krillin's face went bone-white, realizing what Bardock was talking about.

Frieza glanced up at the shivering Krillin and smirked. "Nice to see one of you dumb monkeys can pay attention. And that bald one seems to get it."

The emperor let loose one last evil chuckle at the sight of everyone flinching. And then... he screamed at the top of his lungs! Frieza's body began to twist and crackle and expand, his muscles and skin and body parts all ballooning to unnatural proportions before balancing out to accommodate the size. His voice grew to a deeper, more sinister register and his horns curved up like the devil himself. Frieza's form grew taller and taller, his size change made all the more apparent by the deep crater he was standing in as his body's shape became balanced.

Bardock, Raditz, Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin went white at the sheer, disturbing power that they felt. There, Frieza stood, towering over them like an adult, a 9-foot-tall and muscle bound version of his former self.

And then, in a brutal flash and with a quick snap, he was right there. Bardock, Vegeta, Gohan, and Raditz stumbled back, and Bardock gasped in horror. Vegeta and Raditz were speechless and Gohan screamed in horror.

Twitching and coughing up blood, sagged over Frieza's head with a massive black horn sticking through him, was Krillin.

Frieza chuckled and walked, smirking as Krillin bounced and blood raining down in front of his face like a spring drizzle. "You see, maggots, in my previous form... my power level was but a paltry 530,000. But now... I have reached the lofty power level of well-over 1,000,000. And this, my friends, is where your personal Hell truly begins..."
