Chapter 39: The Fall of Frieza

On the battlefield…

Frieza stood atop his rock, glaring down at his newly energized foes. The power of this strange, new transformation radiated around Goku and Vegeta like an endless, golden flame. Even with no means to actually determine the scope of their new power, Frieza stood in awe, not knowing what to say. It was only when he felt the first flicker of fear in his heart that Frieza managed to regain composure. He couldn't show fear. The emperor snarled in the face of this new threat. "Will you miserable Saiyans never cease this fruitless rebellion?!"

On the ground, Goku's allies examined this new change in both their friend and Vegeta from a distance. Gohan and Chi-Chi were in awe and Bulma was trembling in the light of this new form both of them had taken on.

The scientist watched as the sheer heat from this power sealed the minor wounds on both of the Saiyans, but noticed that while the hole in Vegeta's side had stopped gushing with blood, it hadn't even come close to disappearing. Unable to process her thoughts clearly, she tried to speak. "V-Vegeta... your side is... is still... uh..."

He didn't even look at Bulma. A vein erupted from Vegeta's forehead as he turned to face Frieza. The prince tossed one of his hands behind himself, towards the human, and sent her flying back with a forceful burst of energy. "Shut your damn mouth, Earth woman!"

Bulma shivered in fear, her normal snark having left her. What in the hell was this golden form?!

Gohan and Chi-Chi both sat there, stunned at what had happened. They watched as Vegeta, seemingly ignoring the critical wound on his side, marched over to Goku and faced Frieza. The glowing hatred in Goku and Vegeta's eyes was hot enough to melt steel.

Raditz was the only person not affected by this new development. The older brother was injured and exhausted and all remaining focus he had left was on one thing: the corpse of his mother. Raditz knelt down next to Gine, trembling and with tears in his eyes. He screamed in anguish, his power flaring and bursting out. "M-Mother..."

Raditz's weeping lament echoed across an otherwise silent wasteland, hitting Goku's ears and making the Saiyan from Earth even angrier. In his mind, Goku was trying to hold onto some semblance of self-control, but he could feel himself fading into an almost feral anger. Goku gripped his fists tight, and then he pointed to his son, his wife, and his brother. "Gohan! Chi-Chi! Raditz! Gather everyone together and get out of here! Now!"

Gohan and Chi-Chi both flinched at Goku's forceful, violent tone. Raditz was still distracted by his own grief. After a few moments of hesitation, Gohan stood and tried to talk to his father. "B-But, Dad..."

Goku snapped. "I said go! While I still have a bit of control over myself! Grab everyone and leave right now, damn it!"

Gohan flinched back. Goku continued to speak. "Piccolo is still alive! We need to keep him that way! If the Earth Dragon Balls die, then everything that Frieza has done becomes permanent! Now, quit standing there and do as I say!"

The boy was trembling at first, but he quickly caught on to what his father was saying. Gripping his fists, he took on a steely demeanor and nodded. "Right! Yes, sir!"

Gohan turned to Chi-Chi and Raditz and spoke. "You heard him! We need to move! Mom, you have the least experience with flying and your leg is hurt, so you carry Bulma! Uncle Raditz, grab Grandpa Bardock and Grandma Gine's body! I'll carry Mr. Piccolo!"

Everyone was quick to spring into action. Chi-Chi limped over and grabbed the still-shaking Bulma, Gohan grabbed Piccolo, and Raditz, still grieving, grabbed his mother and father. As Raditz took off, Chi-Chi and Gohan both looked back to Goku and Vegeta. They both stared at Goku, and then they turned to each other and shared a nervous, but faithful nod. Goku's behavior was scaring them both, but they knew that they would be safe from Frieza now. And with that, the two of them took to the air as well.

On his rock, Frieza glared at the fleeing forces of Earth, but smirked at the sudden good news. "Earth Dragon Balls, eh? Well then... I suppose I should avoid killing that Namekian just yet..."

Frieza pointed a finger on his good hand into the air, squinting and aiming right at the back of Gohan's head. The emperor seethed. "I have not forgotten your crimes against me either, brat!"

Frieza fired off a Death Beam, but something blocked it in an instant. The attack collided against this new wall and dispersed into nothing. Frieza flinched back and was shocked to see that Goku was suddenly right on top of him, despite the previous distance between them. He cowered for a brief moment and Goku took brutal advantage. The Saiyan reached out and grabbed Frieza's good hand into a vice-grip. With a heavy squeeze, Goku punished the spiteful emperor by crushing every bone into splintered shards.

Frieza screeched in pain. "Agh! Dammit! Who... who in the hell do you think you are?! Unhand me!"

He struggled, whipping around in Goku's hand and thrashing in frustration, not budging against the Saiyan's grip in the slightest. Frieza lashed with his tail and stomped his remaining foot against the ground and against Goku's chest and stomach. "I said unhand me!"

As Frieza struggled, Goku seethed at the tyrant. He squeezed even harder, making blood burst from the bastard's hand. "Monster... do you have any idea how many lives you've ruined?! How much you've hurt and destroyed?! I'll never forgive you for this, Frieza! I'll make you pay!"

Frieza glared at Goku. Goku sneered at him. "For Krillin... for my mother... and for everyone and everything that has fallen to your cruelty, I swear that I'll put a stop to you!"

Frieza snarled. "What nonsense!"

He wrapped his tail around the wrist of his trapped hand. With a mighty yank, he pulled himself from Goku's grip and fell back onto the ground. The emperor stared up at his Saiyan foe and snarled. Goku took a single step forward and the emperor scuttled backwards. The two of them stared at one another, but then Vegeta came shooting up and punted the emperor right in the face, sending him flying into the sky.

As Vegeta gave chase after his target, Goku turned and looked into the distance. He was relieved to see that Gohan and the others had gotten away, and then he gave chase to Frieza and Vegeta.

In the distance, Frieza had managed to stop himself midair, but was quickly met with a fearsome assault from his former servant. Vegeta was radiating with anger and fury, laying heavy blow after heavy blow into his former master and, for the first time in his servitude to the monster, causing Frieza to feel both pain and fear.

Vegeta slammed his fist into Frieza's face and sent him flying back. The emperor recovered and screamed in frustration. "This can't be happening! I won't accept-"

Frieza's statement was cut off by another fist into his face that sent him flying back. The emperor recovered and screamed in frustration. "I will not accept that this is real!"

The emperor summoned a blast and threw it right at Vegeta's face, but the prince was able to slap it away with no effort. Frieza gasped in shock and Vegeta charged at him. The prince snarled in rage and delivered onto Frieza the beating of his life. Punch after kick after punch after headbutt slammed into Frieza, breaking and battering the emperor like a punching bag. Then with a double ax-handle slam to the top of the head, Vegeta sent Frieza plummeting into the Namekian sea like a stone. The sheer force of the attack created a sonic boom and sent a fissure cutting through the waters all the way over either horizon.

Goku joined Vegeta in the air and they both stared down at the water as it settled. Waves lapped up and down and eventually became still. Both Super Saiyans were laser-focused. They watched Frieza's position with pinpoint accuracy, keeping a constant read on his power. They knew that he was alive and they weren't going to let him slink off. But then, two attacks came shooting up from the water. Two slicing energy discs. Goku snarled. "You've gotta be kidding me!"

Goku and Vegeta both fell back from the attacks and Frieza emerged from the water, laughing like a madman. "Forgive me for the lack of finesse, monkeys! This attack is rather new! I call it the Death Slicer! It's a gift from your pathetic Earthling friend from beyond the grave!"

Goku was furious. He looked over and watched as Vegeta blew up his Death Slicer, but Goku had no intention to do the same. The Saiyan from Earth thought that he had reached the limits to how angry he could get, but Frieza somehow had managed to find a new low. Goku coated his hand with energy and reached out, grabbing the attack and stopping its forward motion.

Frieza flinched in shock. "Wh-What?! But, but how...?!"

Goku sneered and whipped around, flinging Frieza's attack back at him. The emperor panicked and tried to fade to the right, but only succeeded in putting his more-damaged arm right in the path of the attack. Frieza screamed in pain as his own attack lobbed off the arm, watching as it fell to the waters below and sunk.

As Frieza screamed in pain, Goku shouted at him. "You just don't know when to quit, do you?! How dare you mock Krillin?!"

Frieza gripped his bleeding arm stump with his remaining, broken hand. He glared up and watched as Goku and Vegeta descended down to his level, their golden hair billowing in the wind and their emerald eyes trained right on him. Frieza felt the same he had often made others feel: helpless and preyed upon.

This feeling, in addition to creating fear within Frieza's soul, indelibly pissed the emperor off. All of his other foes had disappeared from view and Frieza was left with two massive problems. And what was worse, the emperor was being forced to come to terms with the fact that he had made these problems for himself. He wasn't going to survive. Not with both of them focused like this. He had to throw one of them off somehow. The emperor knew practically nothing about Goku, so he knew who it was he had to target. Frieza turned his attention to Vegeta and snarled at the prince. "I must applaud you for your new power, Vegeta! I always knew that you would become some form of a threat to my power someday! But to think... you would gain that power through attachment to some low-class filth!"

Frieza sneered. "And here I thought you to be so much more than that! To think, you would gain power from sorrow over not being able to prevent a death! Pathetic! I pity you, Vegeta! You've gained strength, but you've become so soft and weak as a result..."

Vegeta glared at Frieza, his eye suffering a small twitch. Frieza smirked, thinking he had found a cinch in the armor. But then, Vegeta shot forward and slammed his fist into the tyrant's stomach. A mixture of blood and spit erupted from Frieza's throat and then Vegeta slammed his other fist into the emperor's head. As Round Two of Frieza's punishment began, Goku followed along. Vegeta was engaged and focused in the fight, but Goku was prepared for Frieza to pull something.

The Prince was merciless as he beat on Frieza. The emperor tried to fight back, blocking incoming attacks from Vegeta, but his missing arm quickly made itself apparent. Every attack Frieza blocked led to another one hitting dead on. After just a few minutes of the continuous assault, Frieza was bruised and bleeding all over.

As his fist slammed into Frieza's face again, Vegeta chuckled. "You must be kidding me..."

Frieza showed visible confusion. Vegeta punched him again and laughed out loud. "Do you really think this is all about that woman? Huh, Frieza?! Are you really that short-sighted?!"

Vegeta slammed his elbow into Frieza's forehead and the emperor's eyes briefly rolled back. Vegeta roared. "This is all so much bigger than anything that woman represented! This is a matter of pride! A matter of vengeance!"

A kick to the chest. "You've spent my entire life lording over me! Taking everything from me! My planet! My birthright! My dignity! You've robbed me of everything that was supposed to be mine! You've turned my life into a miserable, living Hell for 25 years! And-"

Vegeta's gaze harshened. For just an instant, the prince retreated back into that moment…

A few moments earlier, in Vegeta's mind…

The young Prince Vegeta sat there, in a dark prison of his own making. He had been here for years, cut off, away from everything else in the world. Nothing could get close. He wouldn't allow anything to get close. Anything that he allowed himself to get attached to would just be something Frieza could use against him later.

But as of this moment, maybe that could be different...?

Frieza was gone. Finally gone. Maybe now he could. Maybe... Vegeta could finally let something get close. Maybe he could finally let go and have something to break this endless feeling of loneliness that he had felt all of this time.

He looked over and saw that hand reaching out to him. Vegeta heard that voice so like the one he often heard in his dreams. And... he decided to let his guard down, to let himself feel just a little bit of true joy. For just a moment. That wall lowered and Vegeta reached his hand out for the first time in years... and then, in one ruthless strike, that wall went right back up.

Back on the battlefield…

Vegeta roared and kicked Frieza in the face. "And I will have NOTHING ELSE taken from me by a pathetic coward like you ever again!"

He rocketed after Frieza once more. Goku floated to the side and watched. Vegeta's anger and sense of righteous vindication was getting the better of him, but Goku knew that something was off here. And that was when he saw the game. Goku sped forward as Frieza twitched his finger, getting between Vegeta and the Death Slicer that erupted up from the sea.

Goku dispelled the attack with a blast and then turned and glared at Frieza. "What did I just tell you?! STOP MOCKING KRILLIN!"

And then, with a flip, Goku got above Frieza and knocked him away with an elbow. The emperor went flying and smashed into a sharp, pointed rock. Frieza impaled onto the stone and then went limp.

With a brief moment of respite from dealing with the emperor, Goku and Vegeta turned to face each other. Near instantly, Vegeta seized Goku by the remainder of his blue undershirt and pulled his fellow Saiyan close. Vegeta and Goku were nose-to-nose. "How dare you?! Who are you to interfere with my vengeance?! Well, Kakarot?!"

Vegeta punched Goku right across the face. "Where do you find the gall?!"

Not in the mood for this, Goku glared at Vegeta. And then he returned the punch to the face that Vegeta had given him. Goku shouted. "You need to get your head together, man! I'm just as angry at Frieza as you are, but you nearly just got cut in half! You need to watch yourself, Vegeta!"

Vegeta pulled away from Goku, shaking with rage. Goku sighed and looked at his fellow Saiyan with sorrow in his eyes. "I... I can see why you're so angry..."

Vegeta spat at Goku. "What are you on about?!"

Goku shook his head. "Frieza. All he does is take and take... He hurts and destroys and burns everything that steps in front of him. He took Krillin and my mother. I'm sorry that you had to-"

Vegeta was quick to interrupt. "Save it."

Goku glanced over to Vegeta, Vegeta glared back. "The past is the past. I don't need your pity, Kakarot. I'm not sorrowful or bitter, I just want my vengeance. I want to leave this miserable planet comfortable in the knowledge that Frieza is dead. So... in a sense... we have already won."

Goku flinched back. "What do you mean?"

Vegeta shook his head, floating away from Goku and staring into the distance. "Frieza is too damaged. His body is more focused on trying to maintain his life than it is on increasing his strength. His power is still progressing, just at a much slower rate..."

He cracked his neck. "If I had to take a stab at our current levels, it would be something like…"

Frieza's Power Level: 125,000,000

Vegeta's (Super Saiyan) Power Level: 210,000,000

Goku's (Super Saiyan) Power Level: 225,000,000

The prince crossed his arms. "I could kill Frieza without too much effort..."

He clenched his teeth in frustration. "And you could kill him effortlessly..."

Goku chuckled and shot Vegeta an encouraging smile. "Aww, don't be like that Vegeta. You're plenty strong and I'm sure you'd be able to catch up if you trained hard enough~"

"ENOUGH!"

Goku and Vegeta both turned to face the source of that shout: Frieza. The emperor was floating there, a massive, rocky shard sticking through his stomach. The emperor was beside himself with rage. Shifting his focus from Vegeta, Frieza focused solely on Goku for his next rant. "WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

Goku glared at Frieza. Frieza seethed in response. "Bardock and Vegeta being here makes sense! I have personally dealt damages to them! But you... I'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN YOU BEFORE! WHO ARE YOU?! WHAT ARE YOU?!"

Goku faced Frieza, narrowing his glare at the tyrant. "You haven't figured it out yet...?"

Goku smiled. "Who I am is the youngest child of the Saiyans Bardock and Gine. A Saiyan raised on Earth, free from your hateful rule. Born as Kakarot, but raised as Son Goku. As for what both Vegeta and I are? We are warriors whose sole purpose for being here is to bring an end to your terror. Born from righteous fury, we have shattered all previous limitations to accomplish that one goal. Super Saiyan? Legendary Warrior? I've never heard of anything like that and don't really care. All I do know is this; we are your worst nightmare. The end to the horrors that you've reigned down onto the innocent people of the universe!"

The Saiyan from Earth chuckled. "Like I said, I don't know anything about the myth or the legend, but we are what you have always deep down feared, Frieza. We are-"

Frieza snapped and fired a Death Beam, hitting Goku right in the face. Goku smirked, unscathed. "Saiyans! Or rather, Super Saiyans~"

The emperor screamed and charged at Goku, blind with fury. He pulled the rocky spike from his stomach and tried to stab Goku, but Goku was prepared. With a basic strike, the Super Saiyan shot his fist upward and reduced the stone to dust. The fist maintained speed, shooting up and smashing Frieza right in the face. And then, Goku laid in for some vengeance of his own.

Pulling out his Turtle-Style martial arts, Goku quickly overwhelmed the declining tyrant. Strike after strike, he pounded into Frieza and picked apart both his defense and offense. Nothing Frieza tried could do anything to Goku. Every attempt to hit the Saiyan was countered with precision and ease as even more damage was given to Frieza in turn. With a hard, palm strike to the head, Goku sent Frieza flying back.

The tyrant snarled and reached even deeper into his bag of tricks to try and deal any damage to this Saiyan. He used his telekinesis to pull rubble from all around, but Goku rid himself of that with a mighty surge of power. The emperor flinched, but then he fired his eye beams at the Saiyan. Goku coated his palm with energy and thrusted them away, repelling them back into the emperor's eyes.

Frieza reeled back, rubbing his face. Once his vision cleared, he glared up at Goku. The Saiyan was still hovering in the same spot, staring down at Frieza. The tyrant sneered. "You scum! How dare you look down on me!"

Frieza summoned a Supernova, quickly taking it and compressing it down into a Hypernova just like he did in his fight with Piccolo. "Eat this, monkey!"

With all the power he could summon, Frieza reeled back and launched his final attack at Goku. The attack sailed right at the Saiyan warrior, but Goku didn't move. Frieza smiled, totally assured that this would finish him off. Right as the attack flew into his face, Goku gave a primal roar and the attack exploded. It blew up in his face and Frieza wickedly sneered. But once the smoke cleared, that sneer became a look of pure confusion and terror. Goku was standing there, uninjured. The only noticeable difference was that his undershirt had been incinerated away.

Frieza stared blankly up at Goku and the Saiyan stared back down at him. And then the he smirked. "Is that it?"

In that instant, Frieza's jaw fell slack and all of the power left the emperor. He had been in his 100% power state for too long. All at once, the tyrant's energy plummeted to nearly nothing. His swelled muscles deflated and he was reduced back down to his lesser state. Frieza floated down to the ground below, falling to his knees and then to his elbows. Moments later, Goku landed in front of him. The emperor shakily glared up at Goku and his hated foe glared back down at him. "You've lost, Frieza. Surrender. It's your only option left if you wanna live."

Frieza seethed. "I... I will never..."

The emperor raised his hand into the air and summoned a massive blast. "I will never be defeated!"

Frieza started to slam his hand to the ground. He would send this attack straight to the core of this planet and take all of them with him! These Saiyans and the planet would all die! But then, as Frieza prepared this final spite, two white energy rings appeared around him. Frieza's pupils shrank and then the rings quickly closed in on him. A massive explosion resulted and totally engulfed the emperor.

The force of the explosion repelled Goku back. The Saiyan from Earth looked down onto the ground as the smoke cleared and was horrified to see Frieza laying there, left in mangled pieces by the sudden attack. Goku wondered what had happened, but he was answered by a call from above. "That was a move my father taught me. He called it the Flash Strike. But... I've always preferred Dirty Fireworks."

Vegeta landed next to Goku and glared down at Frieza. "It's a shame you weren't in the air for the full effect."

Goku and Vegeta stood side-by-side. The two Saiyans shared a glance with one another and Goku chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "Man, Frieza nearly blew up the planet there, huh? Thanks, Vege-"

Vegeta held his hand up. "Piss off, Kakarot. You dare have the nerve to lecture me about not being observant and then nearly get us all killed yourself?!"

Goku chuckled. "C'mon, Vegeta. It was a split-second attack. I didn't have enough time to react..."

Vegeta shook his head. "Stop making excuses."

He stepped forward, towards the groaning crater where Frieza laid. What remained of the emperor was not a pretty sight. The tyrant's entire lower half had been blown off, his legs and tail laying a few feet away from his torso. Using his remaining arm, Frieza shakily pushed himself up and glared at Vegeta. One eye was permanently closed, blood streaming down Frieza's face, but the other had more than enough hate left in it to be directed at the prince. "W-Well...? What are you waiting for, Vegeta? Finish it! N-Neither of you have the guts to actually do it..."

Vegeta held up his hand with a smirk. "Are you willing to bet on that?"

The prince summoned a massive blast into his hand and pointed it right at Frieza. The emperor snarled in the face of death. But as it became more and more apparent that Vegeta was actually about to kill him, Frieza's defiant façade faded. The emperor held up his hand. "W-wait! Wait, Vegeta! Please!"

Vegeta flinched. Frieza shook his head. "Please! Please don't! Spare me!"

This sudden appeal for mercy only served to enrage both of the Super Saiyans. Goku marched up next to Vegeta and both of them glared down at the sniveling, begging tyrant. Frieza shook his head. "P-Please... mercy! Somewhere, deep down inside, you two have to have mercy!"

Goku snapped back at him. "Mercy?! You have the nerve to actually beg for mercy?! After everything you've done... after everyone you've killed..."

Vegeta's teeth were grinding together. "You have the nerve to lay there and ask for the mercy you have never, and would never, show anyone...?!"

He clenched the blast he had prepared into his fist, dispelling it. The prince was livid. Goku was as well. Neither of them could process how, after all of this, Frieza could just lay there and beg to be spared like that. After everything he had taken, after everything he had done. Now, he would sit there and snivel and cry and rob them of even a satisfying victory?!

Goku squeezed his eyes shut. Vegeta clenched his fists. After all of their struggles, this was the point things had reached?! The mighty, brutal, Emperor Frieza... a wanton murderer who scoffed and laughed at pleas for mercy... he would just lay there, and... with no shame he would beg?!

Frieza wheezed at his foes. "Please... spare me..."

Lightning quick, Goku grabbed Vegeta's outstretched hand and pulled it away from Frieza's direction. He then whipped out his other hand and fired a small ki sphere at Frieza. The tyrant flinched in terror, but was surprised when death didn't claim him. Instead, the energy went into Frieza, giving the emperor just enough strength to move. Vegeta's eyes widened, he turned to Goku with an utterly flabbergasted look on his Frieza floated into the air, glaring towards Goku in total confusion, the Saiyan from Earth spoke. "Take that energy and leave!"

Goku stared at Frieza with enough force to propel the shamed Emperor back. "You heard me! Go!"

Frieza was speechless. This Saiyan... he could not genuinely be serious! Could he?!

Vegeta was quick to voice his displeasure, shaking his hand free of Goku's grasp before getting right into the taller Saiyan's face. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

Goku shouted back. "What would be the point in killing him now, Vegeta?! He's a coward with nothing left to give! He's broken beyond ever fighting again. Besides, killing him would just be letting him get away with everything he's done!"

The Super Saiyan glanced over at Frieza and then back at Vegeta. "Don't you want him to feel just like he made you feel? Trapped, lost, and helpless? If we kill him right now, that would be it. But if he lives for the rest of his life, then he has to live with the knowledge that not only did he lose, not only that his reputation as the invincible terror of the universe is gone forever, not only that he had to beg for help to live..."

Goku turned to Frieza and smirked. "But he has to face his followers knowing that all of this happened at the hands of a couple of monkeys~!"

Vegeta's frown didn't fade. He still seemed unconvinced. "You're playing a dangerous game, Kakarot. That sort of thing works on soldiers and warriors, but Frieza... he is the kind of soul who will never stop in his pursuit."

Goku shook his head. "And we will be there to finish the job if he does. This is his final chance."

Before Vegeta could talk again, Frieza suddenly took to the sky. The emperor was flying as fast as he could for the atmosphere, wanting to get away from these two contemptible Saiyans. Goku chuckled as he watched Frieza get further and further away. "See, Vegeta? I gave him just enough energy to flee. It's his only option here!"

Vegeta sneered and turned his attention to the sky.

High in the Namekian sky…

Frieza was sweating bullets as he flew away. Damaged and crippled, possibly beyond repair, the emperor flew higher and higher, feeling his intense fear of Goku and Vegeta's new Super Saiyan power welling in the back of his throat. As Frieza flew towards his escape, he thought back onto everything that had happened to every creature that dared oppose him. He would escape, raise another elite army, and then go to Planet Earth and slaughter everyone and everything that those Saiyans held dear! He swore it!

Frieza had a sinister smirk on his face as he flew. His vengeance would be glorious!

But then... Goku's most jarring words echoed through his head and Frieza's smile slipped. "He has to face his followers knowing that all of this happened at the hands of a couple of monkeys~!"

"... all of this happened at the hands of a couple of monkeys~!"

"... couple of monkeys~!"

"... monkeys~!"

"Monkeys~!"

"Monkeys~!"

If one were to look at Frieza's face as he thought over Goku's last mocking words to him... it would almost be possible to hear something break within the emperor's head. Like shattering glass, Frieza's patience and sanity finally completely collapsed. Dismembered and low on power, Frieza turned midair to glare at his foes. And then he thrust his remaining hand into the air and summoned his Supernova.

Frieza giggled with glee as the attack formed above his head. A massive ball of whatever energy that he had left swelling and forming with the express purpose of turning this planet, the people on it, and all evidence of this embarrassment into dust. Would Frieza die? Who knows? Who cares?! All that mattered at this moment to the emperor was watching this planet and everyone on it die!

Frieza shrieked as he launched the Supernova down to the planet below. "DIE! AND TAKE EVERYTHING WITH YOU, YOU MISERABLE SAIYANS! DIE KNOWING YOU LOST TO THE MOST POWERFUL WARRIOR IN THE UNIVERSE!"

On the ground…

Goku and Vegeta both stared up in shock as Frieza's Supernova came crashing down towards them. Neither Saiyan had time to speak or discuss as it flew right at them. Goku and Vegeta had to act. With very little in the way of options, the two Saiyans threw their hands into the air and roared as they summoned forth all of their power.

In the sky…

Frieza was laughing like a madman as he saw his Supernova collide to the ground below. This was it! Frieza didn't care about survival or anything else! All he cared about was that he had won! Not Vegeta! Not Goku! Not the Saiyan race! Him! Lord Frieza! The one true Emperor of the Universe!

Frieza's laughter continued. But as the time wore on, the emperor quickly noticed that the boom had yet to occur. Where was the explosion? The fire? The end of all life on this planet? WHERE WAS FRIEZA'S VICTORY?!

This question was answered by screams in stereo. The Supernova, Frieza's ultimate final attack, warped and buckled... and then burst into a massive explosion. Frieza was confused about why his attack had not pierced into the center of the planet, but then the smoke cleared and his confusion was quite direly dispelled. Standing there, in a burnt-out shallow crater, were Goku and Vegeta.

Both Saiyans were still standing strong and with no further damage from Frieza's assault, and their glares were trained right on the tyrant. Goku looked at Frieza sternly and with no remaining pity. "I told you... That was your last chance."

Not missing a beat, each Saiyan pulled their arms to the side and started charging their counter-attacks.

"KA...ME...HA...ME!" "SUPER! GALICK! GUN!"

Frieza recoiled in terror. He thrust his open palm towards the Saiyans and, pulling from his very life force, the emperor fired one final, desperate blast.

"HAAAAAAAAA!" "FIRE!"

Goku and Vegeta's attacks, the Super Kamehameha and the Super Galick Gun, sped through the air, spiraling together as one. The combined assaults collided with Frieza's Last Emperor Blast, but were not made to yield in the slightest. The combined attack tore through Frieza's like butter and continued right towards the tyrant! Frieza's eyes widened, his pupils shrunk to the size of pinpricks. "No! No! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"

The two beams slammed into and engulfed Frieza. As the attacks from his two hated enemies overwhelmed him and propelled him into space, Frieza shrieked louder than he ever had before. It was a new sensation for the tyrant, the feeling that he had given to so many others before! As the pain of death engulfed Frieza, the emperor shouted one final, desperate plea, totally unable to accept what was happening to him.

"THIS CAN'T BE! THIS ISN'T HAPPENING! I AM LORD FRIEZAAAAAA...aaaaaaaa...aaa...aa...a..."

The two attacks burnt away their target and then exploded into a flash of light.

On the ground…

Unable to maintain their new mighty forms any longer from both inexperience with it and their more serious wounds catching up with them, Goku and Vegeta's Super Saiyan power dispersed. Their hair and eyes revert to their natural color. Without their golden forms to energize them, and also drained of adrenaline, both fell to ground in exhaustion the second their golden glows dispersed. The two of them laid there, unable to move or even speak to one another as they stared up at the sky.

Once the smoke had cleared, nothing remained. A few cinders and ashes rained down and disappeared into the wind. The battle was finally over. Frieza's energy signature had totally vanished. In the conclusion of the Battle of Planet Namek, the side of good (plus Vegeta) had won. The blight that had terrorized the Universe for so long was no more. Frieza was finally dead.

Vegeta's dour expression melted away, replaced by a satisfied smirk. And the prince fell forward, totally drained and unconscious.

Goku let loose a tired, but satisfied chuckle, and then he fell onto his back, unconscious as well.

A short way away, on a nearby island…

Standing next to the Ginyu Force Battle Pod that he had been lucky enough to come across, Raspberry couldn't believe his eyes. Those two Saiyans had just killed Lord Frieza! Raspberry was trembling in place. "Wh-What the hell?! Wh-Wh-What do... What do I do now...?!"

The soldier of the now-defunct Frieza Force glanced around, making sure the coast was clear. He walked over to his escape vessel and frantically punched the button to open the door, wanting to escape before any of those Saiyans allies showed up.

Raspberry turned and looked over at the unconscious Goku and Vegeta one final time, not noticing as a Namekian Frog hopped into the Battle Pod. "I... if I go to the king... he'll kill me..."

Raspberry hopped into the pod and pressed the button for the door to close. "I have to run off! Yeah! I have to find a border planet where no one would ever bother to go! I'll be safe there!"

The door to the Battle Pod closed and it started to rise into the air. Raspberry smirked. "And then I can get big bro Cranberry to bring me some supplies and..."

Raspberry looked at the viewing window of his escape vessel, seeing something spelled on the glass in what appeared to be slime. "Wh-What the hell?! Ch-Chan... Chan...ge... No..."

The Battle Pod sped off into the atmosphere, a single golden flash bursting from the window as it ascended. It then went flying off into space.

It's destination: Nowhere good.
