章 2: Chapter 2: Son Goku Arrived Just in Time
After successfully transforming into a Super Saiyan, Son Goku maintained his Super Saiyan form at all times, except when sleeping.
Keeping the Super Saiyan form active every day allowed his body to adapt to the transformation, enabling him to reach the full potential of a Super Saiyan and directly wield its fiftyfold power boost.
Not only that, but it also eliminated the emotional instability often tied to the Super Saiyan transformation, minimized its battle instinct, and allowed him to face enemies with a calm mind.
After all, it's worth remembering that when Son Goku first became a Super Saiyan in his previous battle with Frieza, he was so focused on defeating his foe that he didn't care about the planet's destruction or his own survival.
In this way, Son Goku maintained his Super Saiyan form and continued training for a year.
During this time, Goku's power level surpassed not only his own during the Android saga but also Gohan's after his training during that period.
His mastery of the Instant Transmission technique also improved further, bringing him one step closer to perfecting it for seamless combat use.
'Now that my combat power has grown this much, combined with my mastery of ki control, I won't have any trouble taking on Perfect Cell' Goku thought as he deactivated his Super Saiyan form.
After tidying up the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he opened the door and stepped out.
"Goku, you're finally out! I didn't think you'd actually last the full year this time. You must be incredibly strong now," Mr. Popo said as he handed Goku a freshly prepared martial arts uniform.
"Thanks for the uniform, Mr. Popo. Don't worry—I've gotten a lot stronger. I'll make sure to use the Dragon Balls from Namek to bring back everyone who died," Goku said gratefully as he took the uniform and began changing.
Once dressed, Goku raised his right hand, focusing on locating the ki signatures of Gohan and the others on Namek.
--------------------------
At the same time, on the distant planet Namek...
A team consisting of Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta was locked in battle with the Ginyu Force.
Krillin and Vegeta had been knocked to the ground by Recoome, unable to move.
Son Gohan was the only one still standing, stubbornly resisting.
"Dad, please hurry! We can't hold out much longer," Gohan pleaded, his body battered and covered in wounds, barely able to stand.
Standing before Gohan was a towering figure with fiery red hair, wearing a tattered battle uniform.
Although he too was injured, he was still alive and kicking, clearly in better shape than Son Gohan.
"What a monster... Is this really the end for us?" Vegeta muttered weakly, lying helpless on the ground as he stared at Recoome.
"Hey, kid! If you're not going to attack, then I will!" Recoome taunted Gohan.
"I'm Son Gohan, son of Son Goku! I won't be defeated by you so easily!" Gohan roared in defiance as he clenched his right fist and charged toward Recoome.
But how fast could someone so battered possibly move? To Recoome, Gohan's charge was as slow as a turtle.
Recoome easily blocked Son Gohan's attack, raised his leg and slammed his knee into Son Gohan's stomach.
Then, with a chopping motion he delivered another strike to the back of Gohan's neck.
The brutal assault left Gohan unconscious, his body unable to withstand the violence. His eyes dimmed, and he collapsed to the ground.
"What, it ends like this? How boring," Recoome said, yawning in disinterest. "Kid, I'm a nice guy, so I won't let you lie here and suffer. I'll send you straight to the afterlife."
Just as Recoome prepared to deliver the finishing blow, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking the attack.
"Goku! You're finally here—we've been waiting for you, practically on the brink of death!" Krillin exclaimed in relief upon seeing Son Goku standing firm against Recoome.
"Sorry, Gohan, I'm late," Goku said as he crouched down, pulled a small pouch from his belt, took out a Senzu Bean, and placed it into Gohan's mouth, helping him chew it.
"Hey, hey! What are you feeding that brat? He's on the brink of death—why not just let me have some fun?" Recoome complained, annoyed by Goku's disregard for him.
Seconds after swallowing the Senzu Bean, Gohan's wounds fully healed. Though his clothes were still torn, his energy was completely restored.
After tending to Gohan, Goku tossed the remaining two Senzu Beans to Krillin and Vegeta.
Without hesitation, they each ate their bean, quickly recovering and standing back up.
"No way! How did eating a bean heal all their injuries—especially that kid? He was practically dead!" Recoome exclaimed, unable to believe what he was seeing. The three warriors he had soundly defeated were now back at full strength.
Jeice and Burter, watching the fight from the sidelines, were equally stunned, their mouths agape in disbelief, unable to utter a word.
"Alright, leave the rest to me," Goku said calmly, moving Gohan off the battlefield and closer to Krillin.
Gohan, on the other hand, wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment he chose to trust his father and remained silent.
['Why is Kakarot so confident? Does he not realize how strong his opponent is?']
['Even I was beaten so easily... Could it be... Could it be that he's become the legendary Super Saiyan?']
Vegeta looked at the confident Kakarot, full of confusion and shock.
"Hey, Jeice, how strong is this guy?" Recoome asked, glancing at his teammate.
"The scouter shows his power level is only 5,000," Jeice said, adjusting the device on his right ear as he scanned Goku.
"Hey, you only have a power level of 5,000 and you still dare to speak so confidently. Let me teach you a lesson." Recoome clenched his fists and slowly flexed his leg muscles.
With a 'buzzing' sound, Recoome charged toward Son Goku.
The moment Recoome moved, Goku moved as well.
But Goku was much faster.
In an instant, Son Goku raised his right arm and struck Recoome's stomach with a powerful elbow.
"Ugh... ah..." After receiving an elbow from Son Goku, Recoome groaned in pain, clutching his stomach as he collapsed to the ground.
"How is this possible? Recoome was taken down in a single blow by that guy?!". Jeice and Burter looked at what happened in front of them in disbelief.
"Yeah, Recoome must've burned all his energy in the earlier fight; that's why he went down so easily!" Jeice rationalized, still struggling to process what had just happened.
['Those two idiots can't even recognize Kakarot's true power, and they're still paralyzed in fear']
['It seems that Kakarot's strength has far surpassed mine, maybe even Frieza's...']
Vegeta did his best to open his eyes wide as Kakarot attacked, but he couldn't make out anything clearly. By the time he came to his senses, Kakarot had already defeated Recoome.
After eating a Senzu Bean, his strength had increased by a lot but despite that he couldn't even see Kakarot's attack. It was obvious to him that the gap between them was enormous, making it clear that Jeice and Burter stood no chance against Kakarot.
