The Three Legendary Saiyans

Chapter 10: The Sixth Universe

Raijin watched as Goku and Botamo faced each other in the ring; the fighters from a totally different universe could have wildly different and unexpected powers, hoping that Goku would have the foresight to take countermeasures against whatever abilities Botamo had.

"You may begin!" The Referee shouted; a flare going off in each of the four corners of The Ring.

With a single thunderous shout; Goku kicked off the ground and speeded towards Botamo's wide and unguarded stomach, Goku's right fist instantly making contact as the impact caused ripples to reverberate across Botamo's yellow body.

"That's it! blast that overstuffed bear away!" Beerus shouted in support of Goku's efforts.

Raijin smirked as he watched; though something seemed off; while Beerus was cheering, Champa sat quietly; waiting for what was to come.

Botamo had never stopped smiling during Goku's initial attack; his yellow body having absorbed the blow as if it was nothing, "You'll find that attacks like that have no effect!".

Goku quickly backed-up and restarted his assault; only repeating his failure upon striking Botamo with a volley of punches, kicks and even using a headbutt directly into Botamo's red t-shirt.

"Keep striking all you like; you'll never hurt me" Botamo spoke in a squeaky voice that caused Trunks, Goten, Pilaf, Shu and Baby Pan to laugh.

Goku felt frustration setting in; having been paired with an opponent he could not simply knock from The Ring, looking around for any sort of idea on how to fight against Botamo and his impervious-to-harm body.

"The fool has no idea what to do" Vegeta muttered; gritting his teeth while watching Goku fight.

Goku quickly brought his hands together; quickly chanting the words for the Kamehameha before firing his signature blast wave directly into Botamo's bulbous stomach and finally pushing the bear backwards though only by a few inches by the initial impact of the blast wave.

"It's not enough; Goku cannot keep punching or blasting away at this kind of opponent; he needs to fight smart" Piccolo surmised while observing Goku and Botamo.

"Pity that fighting smart is not Goku's strong suite" Raijin lamented; chalking this battle up as a win for The Sixth Universe.

Goku began taking steps forward while maintaining the Kamehameha Wave; each step brought him closer and closer to Botamo while his body kept repelling the blast.

"You really think that'll work!" Botamo called out to Goku in his squeaky voice; bending his knees and jumping off the ground, Botamo soared over Goku and his ki blast with almost impossible height due to the roundness and unexpected bounciness of his body; dropping to a landing directly behind Goku and slamming a gloved right fist into Goku's head.

Beerus and Whis both silently watched as Goku rolled across the tiled floors of The Ring, Champa suddenly began cheering at the top of his lungs for Botamo, "Yeah; hurry up and knock that loser out!".

Botamo kept smiling as he stomped ever closer to Goku; his impossibly light feet almost hopping off the ground with each step, Goku stayed laying on the floor until Botamo was looming over Goku and reached down to grab him by the neck.

"Come on Goku; don't lose like this" Beerus muttered under his breath; as well as behind his own hands, Whis smiled upon overhearing Beerus' plea.

Goku suddenly span on the spot; his legs sweeping Botamo's own feet out from under himself and sending Botamo toppling down onto his back, Botamo bouncing off the floor before his legs being seized by Goku's vice-like grip.

"If I can't beat you out or knock you out… I'll just throw you out!" Goku spoke with an overly cheerful smile while dragging Botamo towards the rings edge.

"No; you can't do this!" Botamo cried; desperately trying to swing his arms at Goku but his arms were too short to reach Goku, helpless to do anything until he was dropped off the side of The Ring.

"And the winner is… Goku from The Seventh Universe!" The Referee shouted; raising his right hand towards Goku upon his proclamation.

Beerus smiled with pride towards Goku while Champa screamed with frustration as his plans were already crumbling away.

"The next match shall be Goku vs Frost; would both competitors please join me!" The Referee called; beckoning Frost down to The Ring while Botamo took a seat upon the floating platform to be ridiculed by Lord Champa.

As soon as Frost stepped off the glass stairs; the stairs vanished leaving only Goku, Frost and The Referee standing within The Ring, Goku and Frost exchanged a silent handshake before the match began.

"Frost; why don't you change to your True Form instead of holding back" Goku remarked; crouching down into his combat stance.

Frost looked surprised at Goku's words; questioning how Goku would know about his race's ability to transform, "How did you know I can transform?".

"Let's just say I've fought someone who was quite similar to you; but he was pure evil" Goku spoke; alluding to his battles against Frieza.

Frost snickered under his breath before breaking into laughter, "You'll have to tell me about him sometime… very well; I shall debut my transformed state for your Universe".

Frost's body ignited with an all-too-familiar feeling as his body became enveloped in a white and purple tinted aura during his transformation, Frost revealing his new body as a hunched over creature with an elongated head and a tightened alien-like face.

Raijin felt reminded of not only of Frieza's own horrifying Third Form but also of a monster movie Bulma had shown him a couple years ago on a date night.

The Referee raised a hand; interrupting the match, "I'd like to share on behalf of Lord Champa and Lady Vados' request, that Frost used this form to fight alongside Cabba within a peacekeeping army to subdue the evil that ruled over most of The Sixth Universe, and now builds homes for those affected and earned himself a three-time victory in The Universal Peace Prize".

Cabba wore a proud smile for his ally; having fought alongside Frost in the battles and assisted Frost's humanitarian efforts.

Beerus just grumbled under his breath, secretly envying Champa's use of The Referee to make his team look better than Beerus'.

"This is my True Form; prepare yourself Goku" Frost's hands immediately rose to the air; firing a barrage of laser beams from his fingers, casting a cage around himself and Goku.

Goku watching Frost's movements; smiling as Frost enclosed themselves with a cage of lasers, "I know this is not your Final Form; Frieza didn't look at all like this when I fought him".

Frost's tightened face frowned upon hearing Goku's words on knowing about the form he was still hiding, "Fine…" Frost closed his thin hands into fists and pressed his fists to his chest; letting out a roar as his body was cloaked in white/purple energy once again.

"Now the real fight begins" Vegeta remarked; watched as Frost unveiled his true Final Form.

Frost stood amongst the smoke and dusts caused by his transformation; his while and blue body clean in the glow of The Super Dragon Balls' reflection of the light from a distant sun, only his legs and tail stayed a different colour from the rest of his body appearing to be a dull grey.

"Very impressive Frost; allow me to show you my own power" Goku smiled while he spoke; not noticing the ill-intended but well hidden smile of Frost's, Goku didn't make a single move or speak a single cry as his body rushed with a golden radiance that Raijin had not seen from Goku in a long time; Goku's black hair stood on end as it flashed golden and transformed into Goku's own Mastered Super Saiyan Form.

"It's been a while since I've seen Goku transform like that" Piccolo spoke; smiling with confidence in their upcoming victory.

Raijin noticed that many cheers came for Goku from their friends and families; though clearly half-hearted after hearing about the achievements Frost had attained in The Sixth Universe.

Frost admired Goku's golden form; his grey tail slapping the tiled floor slightly, "Impressive Goku; your form and your ability to draw this form out of the locks I placed on it is admirable, only once have I used this form before when destroying a certain foe".

"Good; don't hold anything back Frost" Goku spoke with a smile; his golden aura blazing brightly for all to see.

"I truly have enjoyed this meeting with you Goku" Frost spoke; only so that Goku would hear him just as Frost's body igniting with a new violet aura, flying down in a direct path towards Goku and raising his right fist; striking at Goku with his full powered-up force behind the strike.

Goku brought up his own right hand and grabbed at Frost's hand just as it made contact; the auras of gold and violet spreading across The Ring as their powers clashed, Goku wore a satisfied smile upon countering with a left-handed uppercut to Frost's jaw; sending Frost crashing into the barrier outlining the arena but not counting as a ring-out.

Frost let out a scream as he rushed back into the arena without touching the ground; kicking off the tiled floors into a power-driven charge against Goku, Goku watching Frost come closer and closer with every second; waiting for the moment Frost struck with his right hand and Goku struck with his left, both fighters striking each other in the cheek at the same moment.

Frost swiped at Goku once again with his left arm; though Goku brushed the blow off with a parry but noticed Frost had smiled a sinister smile for a brief moment, a sudden drowsiness came over Goku's body causing his Super Saiyan Form to vanish on the spot; much to the shock of everybody from The Seventh Universe.

Frost quickly struck again; attacking with a simple roundhouse kick to Goku's head ad knocking Goku from The Ring with ease.

"Match to The Sixth; Frost Wins" The Referee shouted, Champa cheering for a win while Beerus looked stunned as to how Goku let down his guard.

Raijin rose up and stood by Vegeta's side; noticing that Vegeta looked both surprised and disappointed in Goku's performance here, "Vegeta; got any insight for Piccolo?".

Vegeta barely even glanced at Raijin before answering, "Just tell The Namekian to lose so I can see your powers".

"Wise words Vegeta… do you think I can win Raijin?" Piccolo sneered at Vegeta's harsh words; but turned to Raijin for support.

"Sure you can; just keep a clear mind and plan ahead" Raijin suggested; patting Piccolo on the back as he took the first step down the glass stairs.

"The next match will be Frost vs Piccolo" The Referee shouted; flares firing off again at the start of the battle.

Piccolo immediately went on the defensive; kicking off the tiled floors and flying away from Frost all the while pointing the index and middle fingers of his right hand to his forehead, the unmissable preparations for Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon.

"You think you can win by fighting defensively! I am fighting for a noble cause!" Frost shouted; charging after Piccolo with his violet aura blazing around his body.

"You think your cause is noble? I saw that sinister smile when you struck Goku" Piccolo spoke with a slightly sinister smile of his own; his right hand crackling with a distinct yellow lightning.

Frost didn't speak except for a low hiss; firing a beam from his index finger almost exactly like Frieza did only without the malicious intent or cruel manner, the beam struck the tiles just as Piccolo dodged the beam; Frost continuing to fire beams while Piccolo kept moving around and dodging beams while the lightning around his right hand continued to increase.

Piccolo's steps faltered as a beam struck him in the leg; grunting under the pain of a searing hot laser burning a hole through his thigh, Piccolo's regenerative abilities instantly healing the wound and giving Piccolo full use of his legs again.

"You'll never defeat my with such haphazard shots; you'll have to be more brutal than that Frost" Piccolo spoke; seemingly baiting something out of Frost.

"What is he doing? He should use that technique and defeat Frost now" Beerus complained; not taking notice of Piccolo's baiting words.

"I believe Piccolo knows something that we do not" Whis spoke; his analytical eyes gazing at and observing Piccolo throughout the fight.

"Piccolo will win; I'm sure he will" Raijin spoke; watching Piccolo with hope and concern for his friend.

Vegeta stood over Goku as the sudden drowsiness passed; apparently demanding to know what had happened.

Piccolo's movements had become much faster; creating afterimages of himself complete with each one resonating with the gathered energies of The Special Beam Cannon, Raijin was impressed with Piccolo's speed at movement and charging his strongest beam.

Frost screamed as he fired dozens of beams at once; shooting down afterimage after afterimage until he shot Piccolo again through the stomach, grinning a maniacal grin for all to see before realising that Piccolo's left arm and stretched itself and wrapped around Frost's whole body with the exception of his right arm.

"Now you cannot escape my attack Frost, I know you are not what you claim" Piccolo spoke; smiled as his charge was finally compete.

Raijin and Vegeta both watched Frost carefully; taking note that Frost's left arm had shifted under the bindings of Piccolo's own left arm.

Piccolo felt a sudden drowsiness fall over himself just as Goku had succumbed too; his left arm drawing back and unwinding from Frost and The Special Beam Cannon firing from Piccolo's left hand directly into the ceiling of the barrier protecting the Arena from the vacuum of Space.

Whis and Vados almost instantly raised their staff's together; the broken barrier quickly repairing itself though their eyes were focussed on Frost pushing Piccolo from The Ring just as he'd done with Goku earlier.

"And the Winner is Frost" The Referee called; a groan being heard from Beerus while Champa cheered.

"I OBJECT!" Vegeta shouted; drawing all attention to himself, "Frost is cheating with a secret weapon concealed on his arms".

Frost was about to shake his head in objection to the accusation when Champa began shouting at the top of his lungs, "That's impossible! No citizen of my Universe would be so cowardly".

"I saw it too; Frost is cheating so Goku and Piccolo should be returned to competitor status" Raijin spoke; having watched the fight closely.

"Not a chance!" Champa yelled again; directing his angry yells to Raijin and Vegeta.

"If you're so sure; let The Referee check Frost's arms" Beerus spoke surprisingly calmly; causing Champa to nod in agreement.

The Referee ran up to Frost and closely observed Frost's wrists and forearms; confirming that there was something akin to a needle, tapping the needle with only his little finger and suddenly getting drowsy himself as a result.

Beerus instantly shot an accusing finger at Frost, "AH HA! I knew it; Frost is using a poison needle!".

"I'll have you know that this is no weapon; it's a part of my body" Frost attempted to shrug it off; a bead of sweat budding on his forehead.

Frost gritted his teeth; he'd been found out, "That's right Saiyan… that evil army The Referee mentioned before were in fact my underlings; I once ruled the crime in Universe Six with an iron fist until The Saiyan Police Force got involved!" Frost wore a sinisterly satisfied smile as he revealed his true nature.

The Referee quickly came to; watched as Goku returned Piccolo to the floating platforms, "Frost shall be disqualified while Goku and Piccolo will be returned to active status on the board.

"NO!" shouted two voices, belonging to Piccolo and Raijin.

"I do not want to be returned to active status… I am not strong enough to keep fighting" Piccolo painfully admitted; regretting his defeat and a new desire to get even stronger burning behind his pained eyes.

Raijin jumped from the floating platform down into The Ring; tiles cracking as both his feet and his tail struck the floor, "I want to fight Frost… right now".

Frost merely smiled as he gazed at Raijin; chuckling at how foolhardy Saiyans tended to be.

The Referee looked to the two Gods of Destruction as well as Whis and Vados, even looking to the gathered Supreme Kai's in the observation platform, every one of them nodding in agreement to allow the match.

"This match shall continue; Frost vs Raijin! BEGIN!".

"You disappoint me Frost… I was hoping for an honest battle; but you're no different than Frieza" Raijin spoke; a cold air setting in between the two fighters.

"I don't know who Frieza is… but I'll take the compliment" Frost answered coldly; mockingly showing Raijin the needles in his forearms.

Raijin pulled his arms free from his Gi's vest; letting it hang loose from his waist, crouching down on his knees and crossing his arms over his chest in the form of an X, "I've been looking forward to this moment!".

Frost tilted his head; deciding on waiting to see what Raijin would do before poisoning him just like he did to Goku and Piccolo.

Raijin glanced over at the platform; grinning as he noticed that Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and Whis were all watching him with keen interest, with a single mighty roar; Raijin's energy skyrocketed into a spire of pure released power that surrounded and concealed his body from view.

Goku and Vegeta watched; both anxious to see what Raijin worked so hard to achieve in order to compete with their God Forms.

"It seems that Raijin has finally decided to show his hand… he sure kept us waiting" Whis remarked; smiling proudly as he already knew what Raijin was transforming into.

Bulma thought back to how her fear of losing Raijin to the primal beastly nature of The Great Ape had almost held Raijin back; but her fear was for naught as Raijin not only surpassed himself but kept his mind intact in the process, "I'm proud of you Raijin… kick Frost's evil butt".

"YEAH DAD! KICK HIS ASS!" Trunks yelled with his fist pumping in the air, Goten, Pilaf, Mai and Shu all joining in with the fist pumps.

Champa and Vados both silently watched as the spire of pure power began to fade away; leaving only a cloud of dust that blocked Raijin's Form from view, Even Cabba, Botamo, Magetta and Hit watched with clear curiosity.

At that moment when the dust cleared; Raijin stepped into view; the normally brown but now bright red fur that coated his tail and spread over most of his body; leaving only his pectoral and abdominal muscles as well as his face completely free of the bright red fur, Raijin's black hair had grown and spread down his back becoming more spiky and wild; while a bright red ring circled his eyes.

"What the hell are you?" Frost asked; a cold shiver running down his spine upon witnessing Raijin's transformation.

"I call this Super Saiyan 4… has a nice ring to it" Raijin spoke; his voice having become slightly deeper.

Goku and Vegeta stood in awe of Raijin's new Super Saiyan 4 Form; both secretly wishing to fight Raijin one-on-one at this very moment.

A deathly silence fell over the observers; Raijin suddenly vanishing on the spot with inhuman speeds and thrusting a single right-handed punch directly into Frost's stomach; hurling Frost into the air with unbridled force and ferocity.

Frost straightened himself after hitting the ceiling yet again, looking around on the floor for Raijin, "Where'd he go?" Just as Frost spoke; Raijin reappeared directly behind Frost with a battle-crazy smile on his face while slamming Frost in the side of the head with a ferocious left hook.

Nobody said a single word while watching Raijin brutally assault Frost in the air; moving with animal-like speeds and the power that seemed akin to that of a wild animal, Raijin kept punching and/or kicking Frost back into the air each time he came close to hitting The Ring, the ground or even the barrier, not allowing Frost even the smallest of chances to counterattack.

Frost spat up blood as he took a knee to the ribs from Super Saiyan 4 Raijin; Raijin merely grinning widely while he gleefully beat Frost to a pulp.

"Hey! Referee… surely Raijin is breaking some kind of rule?" Cabba shouted with a hint of concern for Frost's life despite the shocking revelation.

"Not at all; Raijin is well within the rules of combat" The Referee spoke; though he too was shocked by Raijin's true powers.

Raijin struck Frost with a brutal dropkick to the spine and sending Frost hurling down from mid-air and down towards the outside of The Ring; finally coming to a stop; gripping Frost by the neck while holding him over The Ring's edge, "anything to say before I drop you into the dirt where you belong?".

Frost spat up blood once again; his body covered in harsh bruises and injuries from the unrestrained attacks he'd taken from Raijin, "You're like a…".

Raijin cut off Frost before he could finish his sentence; speaking so that everyone would hear him, "Goku and Vegeta have attained the powers of Gods; and in order to stand with them… I attained the powers of The Beast".

Frost gasped at Raijin's beast-like power; fainting as he hit the ground and losing the battle.
