บท 118: Ch. 118: Frieza Arrives
"What is going on!? Why did they stop working like that!? What did you do, Namek!?" Vegeta cried, grabbing Piccolo's shirt menacingly.
Just a few moments ago, Piccolo had asked the Dragon to arise in Namekian, and arise it had... attempted to do. It had begun glowing, then blinking, and then the sky had gone dark, but just as the glow became almost too bright to look at, everything had simply stopped. The Dragon Balls had turned into simple stones.
"Get off of me." Piccolo shoved Vegeta away, "I didn't do anything. The Grand Elder... he must have just died..." Piccolo had never grown up on Namek. Unlike the other Namekians, he wasn't descended from Guru. He shouldn't have had any connection to him, but his death still hurt.
"Some random Namekian dies and the Dragon Balls become useless rocks!? He couldn't have stayed alive for just one more damn minute!?" Vegeta shouted, kicking a Dragon Ball rock in his rage. His kick catapulted the ball into the atmosphere and beyond, but nobody scolded him for it. They all felt the frustration, except for Hanna, who knew that Guru was coming back to life.
"My Dragon Ball!!?" A shout came from the sky above as the Dragon Ball left the planet's atmosphere. Looking over, Hanna's eyes met with the cold, reptilian eyes of a tyrant. Frieza was hovering above them all, and he was mad. "Vegeta, you arrogant. Stupid. Insufferable monkey. How dare you... try to STEAL MY IMMORTALITY!!!"
Frieza dropped to the ground with a rumble, walking toward the gathered Z-fighters with dignified steps as he continued his verbal tantrum. "I am the almighty Emperor Frieza! It is my destiny to rule the universe for all of eternity! To drink from the cup of eternity and soar above the masses on wings of immortality! That was my destiny! HOW DARE YOU ATTEMPT TO STEAL IT FROM ME!! A thousand painful deaths would not be enough to bring you even an iota closer to atoning for the sin you all just committed!!!" As he spoke, a suffocating aura formed around the tyrant, pulsing harder with every word as Frieza powered up to his maximum 500,000 power level in his first form.
But...
"Frieza! Your reign of terror ends today. For my father, and the planet Vegeta, I will end you!" Raditz stood firm in front of Frieza, a red aura forming around him, acting as a shield between the rest of us and Frieza's aura as he immediately used the Kaio-ken to catapult his power level to 400,000, a level that seemed to be equal to Frieza's own.
In response to Raditz's unexpected power, Frieza raised an eyebrow. "Raditz, right? You seem to have been through quite a lot since you quit my army. I can see how you rats managed to defeat the Ginyu Force now... But you're still just a monkey! No matter what heights to which you grow, you will never defeat the likes of Emperor Frieza! Six, six hundred, or six million, you will all die to my hand, writhing in agony!" Frieza screamed, turning the heat up again in response to Raditz's power pushing his back.
I could feel his strength seeping out of every pore of his body. It was roughly as strong as my maximum power at my current seal, but I knew it was still no match for Raditz and his Kaio-ken, which could likely go up to times ten or fifteen, bumping it up to a maximum of two or three million. I just hoped that Raditz would take his time with Frieza here, because if he immediately jumped up to those heights, Frieza would assuredly take his final form, which Raditz wouldn't stand a chance against. Luckily, it didn't seem that I'd need to worry about that.
"Get out of my way, Raditz. Frieza is my prey." Vegeta pushed Raditz aside. "Immortality or no, I will be the one to kill this bastard. FOR TRYING TO MAKE THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS INTO A DOG!!!!" Vegeta screamed, unleashing his own power. Raditz allowed Vegeta's aura to push him a few feet back, realizing that Vegeta was going to try to take Frieza on alone whether he stood a chance or not.
"A fallen monkey dares to call the Emperor prey... You really do need to be taken down a notch, Vegeta. Fine, if that's what you want, then I have no problems with immobilizing you first. But I think I'll wait to kill you until you have fully tasted true despair." Frieza raised a hand, charging an inordinate amount of ki as he did so, but it wasn't his full power, even his first form's full power by any means. He wasn't about to take Vegeta as seriously as he was Raditz, after all. "The legs go first." Frieza said, telegraphing his attack moments before launching a laser beam at Vegeta's legs.
"Your arrogance will be your downfall, Frieza." Shocking the tyrant speechless for a moment, Vegeta dodged the death beam by diving to the right, faster than Krillin's eyes (as the weakest ones there) could even follow.
"Huh. You've improved quite a bit, Vegeta. It's impressive..." Frieza tuned his scouter into Vegeta's energy signature and watched the numbers go up. It marked 300,000 for a moment before the scouter exploded on his face, causing his face to scrunch up in annoyance.
"That's right, Frieza. I've gotten stronger... and I'm still improving!" Vegeta shouted, letting out a burst of power. Rushing towards Frieza, Vegeta attempted to punch him full-force, right in the gut, but Frieza caught his wrist. With a blast of air pressure taking the hill behind Frieza out of commission, Vegeta gritted his teeth and pulled Frieza in for another punch, which Frieza also caught. With a shout, a powerful blast of energy cratered the ground around the two fighters, the energy so strong that it would've blown Krillin away had Nappa not grabbed his foot at the last second.
"You... ARE... NOTHING COMPARED TO ME!!!" Frieza shouted as their clash raged on.
"I hate you, Frieza. I've hated every second that I've needed to spend as your dog... A powerful warrior, pure of heart, born of hate? You know that legend, don't you? It's the one you fear the most... Every second I spend looking at your face, my hatred grows stronger! It fills my heart and mind with one purpose... to end you, Frieza! As we speak, I can feel the energy coursing through my body, growing stronger as I transform into the thing that you fear most in this universe. I'm becoming a Super Saiyan, and there's nothing you can do to stop me from ENDING YOU!!" Vegeta screamed as he unleashed a maelstrom of energy directly into the fists that were connected to Frieza's claws.
