Ch 2 Uprising - Liberation

"Sorry to keep you waiting." The tyrant Freiza said in his calm, merciless voice. "Now the stage is set, time to pull back the curtain and let the final act begin." The Arcosian stared at his opponent with his blood red eyes.

Frieza resented the man for forcing him to transform into his final state-a state he only used once before with his fight against his father King Cold so very long ago.- Yet he also looked forward towards this fight, for his opponent was a figure of legend; a Super Saiyan. Being the most powerful being in the universe, this legendary fighter may prove to be a challenge or so the Arcosian thought. However, this was also a reason to worry.

Already this Super Saiyan brushed aside all of his previous attacks in his lesser forms. Granted, those forms barely used more than 1% of his power, but it was a cause for concern. So far this Saiyan has proven to be the most powerful opponent he has fought since that duel with his father. but how powerful was this man? Surly not more powerful than he, the almighty Frieza, ruler of most of the known universe and yet there will always be the doubt in the back of his mind: That this Legendary Super Saiyan maybe more powerful than he, and not just by a little.

For that very reason, Frieza jumped to 50% of his maximum right away, he needed to know how he compared with this Super Saiyan. Normally this wouldn't be the way he handled a situation like this, but this was a special case. For the appearance of a Super Saiyan was the very reason he decided to destroy the Saiyan race, and here he was fighting the very same being that cause he such cause for concern.

The Super Saiyan, Riddic smiled. "Let the final clash between Riddic, the Legendary Super Saiyan and Frieza, Tyrant of the Universe commence." The Saiyan settled into a fighting stance.

"Such a confident monkey." Frieza chuckled. "Despite the earlier humiliations you've given me, I'm willing to forgive you if you swear your allegiance to me. I'll even spare your planet. This is a once in a lifetime offer, what do you say?"

The Saiyan let out a roar of laughter, Frieza frowned. "What's so funny?"

"You!" Riddic said in between laughs. He continued to laugh for several minutes, Frieza started to get angry with the Saiyan.

Finally Riddic stopped, he took a few breaths before speaking again. "You think I'd just give up after all this? My goal is to kill you or did you already forget that? Must have since you gave me that offer."

Frieza smirked. "Such a shame." He closed his eyes and shook his head slowly from side to side. "It would have been interesting to have a legend as an underling." He opened his eyes, the smirk on his face turned to a frown. "That said-" Frieza dashed towards Riddic. "-Let's see if the legends are true, Super Saiyan!"

The Arcosian new found speed dumbfounded all who were watching the fight, most thought he'd simply vanished into thin air. However, it still wasn't enough to catch Riddic off guard. As he grew closer, Frieza started to somersault in an attempt to hit the Saiyan with his tail. Riddic frowned, he move to dodge the frontal attack. Truly he was expecting something more.

Frieza smirked, his opponent fell for it. Just as Frieza was about to reach the spot Riddic once was, he vanished. Surprised, Riddic quickly looked around for his opponent. After a few moments, he sensed the Arcosian.

'Behind?' Riddic swung his body around, only to kick to the chest followed by a jab to the face.

Frieza jumped back, he smiled. Riddic looked him in his cold, red eyes.

"Is that it?" He said unamused. "I was expecting more."

Frieza chuckled. "Oh trust me monkey." He extended his right hand forward and grabbed onto it with his left in an effort to keep his right hand still. "This is only the beginning!"

Suddenly, a yellow ball surrounded the Super Saiyan. "What?!" He yelled surprised.

Frieza wrapped his tail along the bottom of the sphere, he laugh in smug satisfaction. Riddic grinned his teeth, he pulled his fist back.

"I wouldn't waste my breath, Mr. Super Saiyan." Frieza cautioned in a smug tone. "You see, when an opponent finds them self trapped in my Imprisonment Ball, they find it quite hard to get out."

Frieza pulled the ball closer, looking Riddic in the eyes as close as possible. "And if anything but myself were to touch this ball, it explodes." Frieza smirked. "Isn't that fun?"

"You sadistic bastard!" Riddic swore. His mind raced, thinking of a way to get out of the Imprisonment Ball. An idea popped into his head. 'Instant Transmission!' He placed his index and middle finger on his forehead and tried it.

A few moments passed...Riddic was still in the ball. He put his hand down and cursed. Somehow this ball negated his ability to sense anything on the outside, Instant Transmission was useless.

Frieza began to move the ball backward. "Ready?" He chuckled to himself, waiting a few moments before throwing the ball outward with his tail. The helpless Super Saiyan flew several feet through space before the Arcosian stopped him with his foot. The latter laughed before kicking the ball in another direction.

The sadistic tyrant laughed as he used his trapped opponent like a ping pong ball, throwing the Super Saiyan all around space. After several more minutes of his self-induced ping pong match, Frieza caught the Imprisonment Ball with his tail. He looked into his captives eyes and smiled.

"As fun as it is smacking you around space like a volleyball, I think its time to end this."

Frieza grabbed the ball in between his two hands and threw it as hard as he could off in open space. He let the ball go a far distance before raising his index finger and firing a Death Beam at the ball. Frieza smiled as the beam connected with the Imprisonment Ball, causing it to detonate. The shockwave to follow was barely felt at this distance.

Frieza quickly scanned the area of the explosion, looking for any signs of the Super Saiyan. The Arcosian let out a short laugh, having neither seen any movement nor a body Frieza assumed that the explosion disintegrated the Super Saiyan.

"An unbeatable, invincible warrior? What an overrated legend!" The tyrant laughed victoriously for several moments, reassuring himself as the most powerful being in the universe.

"Now then," Frieza turned towards Planet Vegeta, a smirk on his face formed from his own smug satisfaction. "Back t-"

Pain, overbearing pain formed in his chest. He looked down, a familiar fist was dug into his chest. Frieza looked at the man's face, his face mixed with pain and unbelieving surprise.

Riddic leaned his head closer to the stunned Arcosian. "Just for that ball trick, I'm not going to hold back anymore."

"Wow, that was something." Salza said rather impressed. "He escaped that explosion unscathed. Truly impressive."

"This guys tough, I'll admit that." Dore added.

"He may be a good fighter, but he's nothing compared to Lord Cooler!" Neizu said in an attempt to praise and suck up.(Mostly the latter.) Dore agreed without hesitation.

Cooler remained still in his hover chair, his gaze fixed on the monitor. The Super Saiyan was now throwing his brother around like a rag doll. As entertaining as he found it, it was also embarrassing to the family name.

"Look at him. Underestimating his opponent again." Cooler said unamused. "Its disgraceful, and he calls himself the most powerful being in the universe. My brother can't even defeat a golden monkey."

After a few moments of awkward silence between his men, Cooler spoke again. "Neizu, is this recording?"

The tall red, dinosaur looking humanoid quickly turned in his seat towards the control panel next to him. He pressed a few buttons before responding to his master. "It is now, my lord."

"Good." Cooler said bluntly. "If this fight goes the way I suspect, then we may need some data on this Super Saiyan. What we're seeing right now could only be the beginning of his full power." The Arcosian paused a few seconds. "I rather not underestimate my opponents like my foolish younger brother."

WHAM! Frieza took a blow to the top of his head. The Arcosian drifted backwards, grasping at the wound.

"Did that knock some sense into the thick skull of yours?" The Super Saiyan, Riddic said as he hovered before his opponent.

Frieza moved one of his hands down to his chest and clenched it. "How dare you talk to me like that. I'm the Lord of the Unive-!"

SMACK! Frieza took the full force of Riddic's backhand. "Correction, you were Lord of the Universe." The Saiyan kneed Frieza in the stomach, the latter kneeled over in pain. "Now, you're just a hateful little man cursing at a superior fighter who you can do little against."

Frieza backed away from the Super Saiyan, still hunched over in pain.

He looked at his opponent. "I-I hate you..." He said weakly.

Riddic smirked. "The feeling's mutual, I guaranty that."

He rushed towards Frieza, grabbed the latter's head and smashed it against his knee. As Frieza's head drifted backwards from the blow, Riddic punched the Arcosian with a left hook to the side of his face, followed by a point blank energy blast to the chest.

Frieza flew backwards at an alarming speed, Riddic rushed ahead of him and stopped his flight with a double kick to the back. Frieza spit out purple blood, he weakly floated away from the Super Saiyan. The tyrant slowly turned towards the Saiyan, breathing heavily.

'This cannot be!' He screamed mentally, for he didn't have the breath to yell. 'I am the most powerful being in the universe! How is the man-this monkey causing me so much pain?!'

Riddic smirked. "What's wrong? Having a hard time?"

Frieza grunted in anger. 'This ignorant Saiyan! He wouldn't be so smug if I was at full power!' Frieza stopped himself there, he had an idea. An idea that may-no, will work.

The Arcosian smiled. "Look at you, Mr. Super Saiyan. All high and mighty over beating an opponent who isn't even at their best." Frieza let out a short laugh. "Not that I blame you, some people can use all the victories they can get. However cheat and unfair that victory maybe, especially when your opponent is the strongest in the universe."

Riddic raised his eyebrow. "Oh?" He said as he crossed his arms. "Are you telling me that after all this, you're still holding back?" Riddic laughed, ignoring the tyrants fails accusations. "I knew you where overconfident. but I didn't know you were a fool too."

He tilted his head slightly and frowned. "Honestly, I could have killed you a hundred times over by now if I didn't want to make you suffer for your crimes but if you're saying you still have power to spare," Riddic held out the palm of his hand towards Frieza. "Then by all means, so me this hidden strength of yours."

Frieza smiled. 'Perfect.' The Arcosian laughed silently. 'Typical Saiyan. His overconfidence will be his undoing!'

Frieza began the process, focusing with all his might at achieving 100% of his power. A lightning-like aura flashed around his body as he efforts started to show results. His arms, legs, and even his tail bulged outward as each muscle expanded outward. Veins began to pop out all over the Arcosian's body pulsing, a clear sign to the strain on his body.

As Frieza continued, his blue-white aura flashed around his body. It seemed to dance about wildly. The tyrant had the urge to laugh, as much as he wished to he had to keep his concentration.

Riddic looked upon his opponent, noting the steady increase in his power level.

"Not bad..." The Super Saiyan muttered to himself. "He's almost as strong as that Yardrat I fought awhile ago...almost."

As Frieza grew closer to his maximum, various Scouters from nearby troopers and Saiyans elites suddenly exploded. The owners looked at their broken devices as the remaining parts floated in space. The funny thing was that most of they hadn't even had their Scouter on.

(Note: The reason for this is because Frieza's getting closer to his maximum. Since he hasn't used his max in Toriyama knows how long, he isn't used to the powering up process and this causes uncontrollable events, such as the short circuiting of nearby electrical equipment.)

A few minutes passed, Frieza's power continued to increase. Just as it seem like his joints were stretched to their limits, his arms, legs, and tail expanded out even further. The Arcosian let out a yell, a bright light of energy surrounded him. A massive shockwave rushed outward in all directions, the mass of PTO troopers struggled to hold their ground else be sent flying.

After a few more moments, the light faded. Frieza hovered in the open space, veins pulsing all over his body. He took a deep breath, held it for a moment, then exhaled.

"Ah, its been so long. I forgotten what it feels like." He chuckled to himself. "You should feel honored, Mr. Super Saiyan." A half smug look appeared on his face.

"You're not only the first since my loving father to give me a reminder of true pain, but also to make me use my maximum power. Quite the achievements for a monkey- Oops, sorry, a legendary monkey."

Riddic smiled in response. "You say that now, but just wait. Soon I'll be the first to beat you."

"Hehehe, don't get cocky. Now that I'm at my maximum, you'll find that it wouldn't be as easy to push me around."

"Maybe so, your body did get a whole lot buffer. If we were fighting on the surface, I would defiantly have some trouble using that oversized body as a volleyball. Hahaha."

Frieza's eye twitched in annoyance. "Tough talk coming from a dead man."

Riddic crossed his arms. He smiled confidently at the Arcosian. "Don't get ahead of yourself, you haven't beaten me yet."

"Funny, I was about to say the same thing!"

Frieza rushed at the Super Saiyan far faster than one would think with his new bulky body. He hit the Saiyan in the chest with a right hook and let it sink in deep. Then, Frieza began to assault Riddic's face with volley after volley of punches and kicks. He continued the attack for several minutes, stopping only when he was satisfied.

The tyrant laughed, pleased with himself. "So what do you think? Overwhelming isn't it? I hate to tell you, but that is only a taste of my power!"

Riddic let out a laugh, he put his right hand on the side of his face as he continued to laugh. Frieza stood speechless, yet annoyed and shocked at the act.

"Not bad! Not bad at all!" Riddic said with a smile. "Out of all the blows you hit me with, those last few were the first I felt." He let his hand fall to his side. "I have to admit, you do have the right to claim you're the strongest in the universe." Riddic smirked. "But you're far from it."

Frieza hovered backwards, his pride hurt by the acts of his opponent and the fear he held since the beginning of this fight began to emerge. "Wha-What are you?" He said, his voice shook in fear.

"I..." Riddic started to speak, he looked down to the void of space as if trying to find the right words. After a few more moments, he continued with a serious look on his face.

"I am a monument to all your sins. A being who represents all those killed in your name. I am an avenger...and your worst nightmare."

Frieza looked at the Super Saiyan with his eyes wide, struggling to regain his composure. "Who do you think you are? Some god sent hero sent to destroy me?" Frieza paused, expecting the Saiyan to counter. His fear grew into frustration as he waited.

"An avenger? Don't make me laugh!" Frieza swung his arm out. "I am Lord of the Universe! I decide who lives and who dies! The gods themselves fear me!"

Frieza pointed his finger at Riddic. "Anyone who goes against my will dies! As soon as I kill you, I will end this pitiful Saiyan rebellion by destroying this planet and erasing any possibility of any other Super Saiyans rising up to challenge my rule!"

Riddic vanished and reappeared directly if front of the Arcosian. He looked directly into his opponent's eyes as the latter held his ground. After a few silent moments, Riddic closed his eyes.

"I pity you Frieza. Such a spoiled kid who was given everything he ever wanted and with no one to tell him otherwise."

Riddic reopened his eyes and stared into the bright red eyes of Frieza. "Your pride has made you arrogant. The possibility of someone far stronger than you who would rise to challenge your reign never crossed your mind before today, and here I am beating you senseless, making every one of your nightmares come true while you refuse to accept reality."

"Its funny," Riddic said with a smirk. "The only reason I transformed was thanks to your efforts. You created this fine mess you're in right now Frieza."

Frieza looked at the Saiyan in confusion. "That I created? What do you mean?"

Riddic sighed. "You already forgotten what we talked about five minutes ago? Such a shame, I never could forget what happened on that day 6 years ago. The day you murdered my father in front of my very eyes."

These words struck Frieza, his mind jolted as he suddenly recalled the events of that day. The Saiyan revolt lead by an older silver-haired man, his swift execution of those who participated in the act, and the two younger silver-haired Saiyans who held the dead body of the ring leader, who stared into his with such burning hatred and that King Vegeta begged he spare.

"You- I...I remember!"

It all made sense now, the Super Saiyan before him was one of those two brats. One of the sons of the man he killed years ago. Frieza continued to stare into the Super Saiyan's eyes.

"So that's what this is all about...Revenge for killing you father." The Arcosian smirked. "What a joke! Here we are in the middle of a rebellion brought about by your king to liberate the Saiyan race and then you; the legendary Super Saiyan, show up just to enact you revenge!"

Frieza laughed. "In this turn of events, wouldn't it be more just to say that your cause is freeing your people rather than vengeance? Or is what they say about you true? That the Super Saiyan is just a killing machine who only thinks of dead and destruction? If the latter, then you Mr. Avenger are no better than me."

"Perhaps it would be just, and believe me I do want my race to be free from your rule but the reason this all started, why we're here now, is because I wanted to avenge my father. I will gladly taint my hands with evil just to rid the universe of scum like you, unjust reasons be damned." Riddic let a out a small chuckle, laughing at himself for what he just said.

"All of the planing, all of the preparation and all of the sacrifices I have made that lead up to this very moment. I'm not about to waste all that effort by debating if my reasons were just. Especially with you."

Frieza let out a smug laugh. "I'm not one to judge the morality of others. I have committed acts across this galaxy that most would consider barbaric, ruthless, unforgiving even. And just to let you know, this isn't the first attempt on my life on the grounds of revenge. Just the most successful so far."

Riddic smiled. "Is that a fact?"

Irritated by this last comment, Frieza swung his his left arm at the Saiyan. Just before contact, Riddic vanished and reappeared behind Frieza. His back turned on the Arcosian, he pulled his elbow forward and smashed it into the back of Frieza's neck. The latter stumbled forward, he turned around and fired an energy blast at the Super Saiyan.

Riddic just hovered in place, not turning around nor even acknowledging the attack coming at him. At the last moment, the Saiyan dodged the blast at an alarming speed. His back still turned, the Super Saiyan remained still at his new location. Fully expecting Frieza to continue attacking. After a few moments and with no further attacks from the Arcosian, Riddic turned around.

Frieza hovered still, his eyes burning with such hatred that would have deterred most others.

"I hate you." Frieza said in a controlled, angry tone. He brought his fist up for emphasis. "I hate you with every fiber of by being!"

Riddic let out a short chuckle. "You hate the fact that you're losing. You can't stand that there's someone better than you."

"I rather destroy us both then let you win."

"Such are the words of a sore loser."

"Make fun of me all you want." Frieza held both of his hands in front of his chest: A dark and purple ball of energy formed in between the gap. "You wouldn't be laughing once I'm through with you." The Arcosian raised his hands above his head, the energy ball glowing radiantly between his fingers.

These actions puzzled Riddic, sure Frieza was overconfident about his own abilities, but with his last statements he all but admitted that he was outclassed. If that was the case, then what was Frieza planning? He knew Riddic was too much for him, so why was he preparing an energy attack? Out of denial? No, that wouldn't make sense.

Riddic ran through all the possible answers, finally he figured it out. His eyes widened in horror. "Shit-!"

Frieza smirked, he threw the energy ball towards his true target: Planet Vegeta.

"SAY GOODBYE TO THIS FILTHY MONKEY PLANET!"

Deizu had the two Saiyans on the defensive now. His secret technique, a move he copied from a soldier under the command of Frieza's older brother Cooler, had paid off.

It was an energy blade, a simple move but very effective. Basically, it had the same concept as wielding a regular sword, only it was made of energy and much more efficient.

Having regained a sense of superiority, Deizu smiled. "Not so funny now, is it boys?" He taunted the two. "Are all you Saiyans like this? Bark loud enough but don't have the bite to match?" Deizu raised his shoulders and sighed. "So much for being a warrior race."

Ragu grinned his teeth, his left arm covering a wound on his right: The price of a careless mistake. Travis called out to his partner and redirected his attention towards the direction that Riddic and Frieza where fighting.

All around the trio, more and more were acknowledging whatever event that was taking place. Looks of fear and screams of horror began to fill the battlefield.

Curious and concerned about what would cause such an effect, Deizu look to the event. Instantly he realized why as his eyes widened in horror.

"Wha-? What?"

"SAY GOODBYE TO THIS FILTHY MONKEY PLANET!" Frieza screamed, laughing as his attack rushed towards the various PTO troopers and Saiyans gathered around and ultimately his target, Planet Vegeta.

Bardock was the farthest out and thus the first the attack would hit. The Saiyan screamed as the blast raced towards him, silently cursing at himself for being unable to do anything to prevent these events. All around him, he heard the screams and pleas of the many PTO troopers begging Frieza to stop. Not that it mattered, even if the tyrant could he still wouldn't save them.

The blast was a few inches away now, Bardock closed his eyes, expecting the worst...

Nothing.

Bardock opened his eyes, surprised to see Riddic's back to him. The Super Saiyan caught the blast, slowly pushing the attack off his chest and back the way it came. After some effort, Riddic held Frieza's blast at arms length. He fired an energy wave, carrying the blast away and off into space.

Everyone stared at the Super Saiyan in shock and awe. The latter wiped some sweat off his face. "Gotta love Instant Transmission. If I didn't know that move, we'd all be dead right now."

"How!?" Frieza yelled in anger. "How could you?!"

Riddic smirked. "Disappointed that your last resort didn't work? Blowing up the planet so I wouldn't have any air to breath was a smart move I'll give you that, but you didn't factor in my new found speed and that's why you failed."

Frieza hovered, his body shook in anger, his mind racing desperately trying to think of a way to defeat the Super Saiyan. While the Arcosian was preoccupied, Bardock looked at Riddic in respect.

'So this is the power of a Super Saiyan.' Bardock smiled. 'I gotta say, I woul-'

'Bardock!' A voice called out in the Saiyan's mind, interrupting his thoughts. Bardock raised his eyebrows. 'Not again?' He complained, expecting another vision of the future.

'Not again what?' The voice spoke. 'Are you telling me you had a telepathic conversation before?'

Bardock was about to reply when he finally recognized the voice. 'Wait...Riddic?'

The Super Saiyan tilted his head. 'Right on the money Bardock. Now listen, there's something I need you to do.'

Bardock frowned. 'What can I do in this situation? Don't tell be you want me to act as a decoy of something. As far as I can tell, you don't need help in that way.'

Riddic chuckled to himself. 'No worries, I have Frieza in the palm of my hand. What I ask is something that needs to be done after I've killed Frieza.'

'And what would that be?'

Riddic turned his head to his right. Bardock looked in that direction and saw the only object of interest: Frieza's ship.

'I need you to take over that ship.' Riddic continued. 'I don't care how, but we need it intact for my plan.'

'Plan? What plan?'

'I'll explain everything to you later, but right now we need that ship. See if you can get some of the others to help.'

Bardock stood still for a moment, going over what possible reasons Riddic would need that ship.

"There's no time!" Riddic spoke aloud. "Hurry before Frieza tries something again!"

With that, Bardock's mind was set. "The signal's when you killed Frieza right?"

Riddic nodded yes.

Smiling, Bardock discreetly hovered away from the Super Saiyan. "You can count on me."

Riddic watched Bardock disappeared into the silent battlefield before returning his attention to Frieza. The latter still hovered in the same spot, still staring at him with an intense burning hatred and desire to eradicate the Super Saiyan.

Riddic slowly moved towards the Arcosian. "I say we ended this, before you try anything like that again." He stopped a few feet from his opponent. The two looked into the other's eyes.

"This is it Frieza," Riddic placed his hands to his sides. He began to gather energy for the move he learned while his was on Earth. "Your unjust reign of tyranny and darkness over this universe ends now."

"No...NO!" Frieza raised his right fist up to his chest. "It is YOU that will end here!" He yelled, blinded by rage. "I am the lord and master of the universe! The most powerful fighter in history!" Frieza began to gather all of his remaining energy into his hand."You, them, they crumble, they DIE! I am unmatched! I shall live on! I AM LORD FRIEZA!"

The Arcosian threw his hand forward and fired the powerful energy wave. Riddic frowned. "You're just a fool who won't accept reality. Goodbye and good riddance." The Super Saiyan thrusted his hands forward.

"KamehameHAAAAAAAA!" The blue signature move of the Turtle style raced outward toward Frieza's blast.

The wave's collided for a brief moment before Riddic's Kamehameha cut through Frieza's like warm butter. The latter screamed and cursed at the Super Saiyan before being consumed by the wave. Riddic's attack flew out towards the vast void of space, taking with in any possible remains of the tyrant.

After watching the wave vanish from view, Riddic gave a sigh of relief. Then, as planned, Bardock and a handful of other Saiyans rushed toward Frieza's ship. Everyone else stared at the Super Saiyan or towards the general direction of the attack that finished Frieza, all stunned at the events that just transpired.

Riddic smiled. He finally did it. All the effort that he and his friends spent hadn't been in vain.

"I did it dad." He said to himself. "I've freed our race, just as you wanted."

He took a few more moments to reflect on all that lead up to his point; the trip to Namek, his immortality, his brother's betray, his ascendance to Super Saiyan, his self-imposed exile, the time on Earth, his chance meeting with the Arcosian Blizzard and lastly his visit to Yardrat.

All had a key part in this triumphant moment.

Slowly, he turned to the massive crowd behind him. All silent save for a few Saiyans (*cough* Ragu and Travis) who were celebrating.

Riddic raised his right arm outward. "To all who hear my voice! Listen to me now!" He waited a few moments before continuing. "As you have clearly wittnessed; I, the Super Saiyan Riddic have defeated Frieza. I now ask that all those who serve under him surrender now. Do so, and I shall guarantee your lives. If not, then by fellow Saiyans shall deal with you. Choose wisely."

He waited a few minutes and let his words sink in. With the exception of a few small skirmishes breaking out between some of the overzealous PTO troopers the majority of Frieza's henchmen were settling down and surrendering.

Ragu and Travis rushed up to Riddic with big grins on their face. "That was awesome!" They said in unison.

Riddic chuckled. "Think so? Well I did defeat the self-proclaimed strongest fighter in the universe, so I say that was pretty awesome."

Ragu nodded. "Who would have know that our childhood friend would become a Super Saiyan?"

"There are no words to explain how amazing this all is." Travis added. "It's almost a shame that this is all over."

Riddic smiled at his friends. 'No...this is just the beginning.' He thought to himself, he didn't want to let them know the truth, not yet.

"It's...It's all over..." Neizu said, stunned at the events that he and his squad members had just witnessed.

"It's unreal..." Dore added, his eyes wide in awe and fear. "Who would have thought that Frieza would go out like that?"

"Even at his best, Frieza was no match for that Super Saiyan." Salza said, his voice was the most calm out of the three. The blue humanoid stared at his master, Lord Cooler. The latter was unphased, perhaps we has thinking how best to respond to this. After all, the monkey did get rid of his brother who he detested so much and actually planned to kill, but he was a clear threat.

Cooler stared towards the same direction the wave that hit his brother flew off to. He sensed something, a feeling all to familiar to him. He almost didn't believe it. "Salza. Have the ship follow the wave that carried away my brother."

"U-uh...Yessir!" The small, blue humanoid ran over to the ship's controls, plotting in his master's desired course. Once it was done, Salza turned his head to Cooler. "It's done my lord." He back away from the control panel, turned and took a few steps forward. "May I ask why Lord Cooler?"

A snicker formed on Cooler's face "Just a hunch." He replied. The ship turned towards its plotted course, moving undetected to its destination.

3 hours later...

"So are you going to finally tell me what you've been doing these part few years?" Roy asked as he and Riddic walked down the chamber hall leading to King Vegeta's throne room.

"Maybe even sharing this plan you've come up with during that time?" Roy placed his hands behind his head. "Taking Frieza's ship, all those prisoners we have now, just what are you planning? "

Riddic smiled. "Something bigger than we ever dreamed of my friend." He looked at Roy. "A better future for everyone."

Roy stopped, his eyebrow raised. "A better future? Since when did we become the good guys?"

Riddic stopped, he half turned to his friend. "Since we decided not to follow the rule of madmen and murderers."

Roy looked up at the ceiling. "That long ago huh?"

Riddic let out a short laugh. "Afraid so." He began to turn back around. "Listen, I have to go. I promise I'll fill you in on everything once I'm finished."

"I look forward to it." Roy spun around. "I'm sure you had an epic adventure while the rest of us were worrying ourselves to near death."

"You don't know the half of it."

Roy waved in response, heading back the way the two came. Riddic looked down the hallway, he put a serious face on and continued on his way.

After a few quiet minutes, Riddic reached the double doors of the throne room. Two Saiyan royal guards stood at attention.

"The king is waiting." One said before opening one of the huge doors.

Riddic strolled in, he passed the rows of royal guards lined up along each side of the red carpet along the center. Some he recognized from the time he and his brother were part of the guard. Riddic stopped at the base of the throne, he stared up at the man upon it: the proud King of all Saiyans.

"If it isn't the hero of our race. The Legendary Super Saiyan himself." King Vegeta said, half sarcastic half seriously. "I wish to thank you for what you've done. Through your efforts we've finally freed ourselves from the shackles of the tyrant Frieza."

"I thank you for you kind words," Riddic responded. "And I also want to thank you for carrying out my request from earlier."

The king let out a huff. "It was no trouble, making those weakling submit. I have already made preparations for their executions."

"Executions? Begging you pardon, but that's not why I had those me surrender."

"Oh?" King Vegeta let his head rest on his left shoulder. "It wasn't for celebratory public executions for the honor of you becoming a Super Saiyan and defeating Frieza?" King Vegeta let out a laugh. "And here I thought you'd become much more blood thirsty do to your ascendance."

Riddic stared at the Saiyan king in a serious manner. "Legends tend to exaggerate, my king."

King Vegeta shot a cold stare at Riddic. "Indeed." He lifted his head up and sat straight in his throne. "Very well, you can do with them as you wish. Consider it a gift for you efforts."

Riddic held his ground. He knew that the King had told him that he could go in his own way but there was still a matter that had to be settled.

"Is there more?" King Vegeta asked, a hint of annoyance rang in his voice.

"In fact, there is. Now that I've killed Frieza, the rest of the Planet Trade Organization will surly retaliate. Once they catch word of it, they will attack Vegeta in full force."

"Bawh," King Vegeta waved his hand weakly. "Let them come. We shall rise to the challenge. Those fools shall taste the full might of the Saiyan race...and the devastating power of a Super Saiyan."

"That's not a wise move." Riddic said, deciding to throw aside formalities and press the issue. "You know as well as I that Frieza has an elder brother. Though he may not be as powerful as Frieza or so they say, he is much more calculating then his foolish brother. Even with my Super Saiyan powers, if he were to show up with a fleet. I doubt that our race would survive."

"You sound like you don't have faith in your own race."

"Faith and foolishness are two separate things, my king."

A vain appeared on King Vegeta's forehead. Before the proud king could respond, Riddic continued to stress his point.

"During my travels, I have learned that there is someone who rules over the PTO from the shadows. An Arcosian much more powerful than Frieza or Cooler. If we try to hold our ground like you suggest, then our entire race shall be extinguished. An example to all who would even think of rebelling against the leadership of the PTO."

King Vegeta stood up from his throne. "And what pray tell do you suggest we do?!" He yelled annoyed.

Riddic smiled, it was the moment of truth. Whether he could get the king's support and further the plan that he and Blizzard made all depended on this very answer.

"We invade New Arcose."

Power Levels

Frieza (Form IV, 50%): 60 million (Form IV, 83%): 100 million (Form IV, 100%) 120 million

Riddic (Super Saiyan) 145,143,000

And here ends another entry. Took me forever to write this thanks to my constantly changing work hours, at least its done now.

Just want to clarify that Riddic is NOT THEE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN. We all know that's Broly. :) He's just referred as such FOR NOW since he's the first known Super Saiyan in 1,000 years.

Speaking of, (hopefully) you can see the difference in his personality ever since he became a SS, much more serious and...well badass is a word that comes to mind. There are hints at how his personality may change further as time progresses.

So Frieza tried to take a shot at Planet Vegeta, like he meant to all along, for the same reason he destroyed Namek in the anime. There where significant differences however, 1. He went 100% before trying to rage quit win. Adding onto the sense of desperation since even at his best, Frieza still couldn't do anything against Riddic. 2. Riddic knows Instant Transmission. So he could just teleport in front of the blast(as long as there's someone else in front of it.) and deflect it. This way, he can avoid Goku's zoning out/stupidness/whatever you wish to call it that happened in the anime and save the planet from going boom.

And for all those who picked up on the mentioning of a Yardrat that Riddic fought against, I'll give u a hint. He's in the game Dragon Ball Z Sagas

How will King Vegeta react to Riddic proposal? Just what does Cooler hope to find by following the Kamehameha wave? And what exactly is this plan that Riddic thought up with the help of Blizzard? Find out all this and more on the next Dragon Ball Double S!
