"Now you've done it... All of you. You've shattered my dreams for immortality" he uttered coldly as a wicked smile landed on his lips. "I'm afraid that this won't do... Are you ready to pay the price?"

His eerily calmed voice caused a shiver to go down their spines, knowing that they're going to have to fight for their lives. He stepped down from the small hill and landed in front of them.

"Never before have I ever been so disrespected..." he lightly hissed. Everyone was frozen with fear as he continued to speak. "I had no idea events would play out like this..." his facial expression quickly turned to hate.

"And now, you'll pay... I will kill you all and savor every second!!!" His angered speech made everyone take flight in different directions, but Vegeta stood there in the same spot.

"So, you finally showed your true colors... Go on then, try it!" the saiyan urged, wanting to have this fight against him for ages. "If you think I'll be bested that easily, I'm afraid you're gravely mistaken!"

Frieza tried to hold in his laughter as he stared at the saiyan with a sinister expression. "It seems that you've forgotten how vastly terrifying I can be..." the small alien then started to power up, making everyone freeze in place.

'T-this can't be happening!'

'He's even worse than I thought it would be! We don't stand a chance!'

Everyone stood in silence, waiting for the small alien to do something, but Vegeta spoke first. "You may not have realized, Frieza... But their power levels are growing quickly! The little ones in particular"

Krillin and Gohan stared at him with questionable looks, but they continued to listen. "He has a hidden power greater than he himself can imagine... And as for me, I'm becoming what you fear the most; a Super Saiyan!"

Frieza cocked his head to the side, a taunting smirk laced his lips. "Do you really expect me to take such desperate boasts at face value? A Super Saiyan?" His expression then turned cold as he rushed Vegeta with quickness.

In time, Vegeta was able to block his attack, making them both struggle in place. Frieza tried to attack with his other hand, but it was caught by the saiyan, Vegeta then started to charge up his ki, hearing the loud noise of Frieza's scouter before it broke into many pieces.

The two backed a few feet away from each other. Vegeta tried to control his breathing, not having to charge up that much ki in so long. "I see... So there was a bit of truth to your claims"

"Transform yourself, Frieza" he demanded, wanting him to fight in his true form. "Oh?... Very well. If you want to die so badly, I'll show you!" He then blew out of his battle armor, shocking Gohan and Krillin.

'His ki is rising like crazy!!'

They watched in horror as Frieza's upper body started to grow into a larger, bulkier build. His arms extended as his legs grew as well, making him way taller than Vegeta as his neck also extended.

Frieza stared at them with a proud smirk, feeling his ki overwhelm them. He now stood in full height, staring down at the smaller three with a wicked smirk. "You're in for it, now..." he merely warned before he raised his hand.

An overwhelming amount of ki exploded where they stood, causing everyone to be pushed back at a very far distance. They all took flight as they could barely see anyone. Gohan hurriedly tried to look for Dende.

"We're over here!" Called out Krillin, making Gohan turn around to see that Krillin was able to grab the namekian child. "Your swiftness in fleeing is impressive, I applaud you..." mocked Frieza.

Krillin then turned his gaze towards Gohan, a look of urgency plastered his face. "Is there a way you can contact Goku and Nemui?!" he only received a shaken shrug from the hybrid, still afraid to face the transformed alien.

"Now then, who first shall I send off to hell?" he muttered before taking flight directly towards Krillin. Everything happened so fast, Krillin stood afloat in the air as he felt something huge puncture the right side of his torso, making him drop Dende.

"Krillin!!!"

He felt a small, warm stream of blood flowing down his side, but he wasn't going to give up right now. Before he could move, he was then shoved off Frieza's horns, his body fell to the big body of water.

Boiling anger filled Gohan as he felt his ki rise, earning a questionable look from Frieza. With quickness, he landed a kick to Frieza's jaw before uppercutting his jaw. Vegeta was shocked at the speed as he continued to watch in awe.

The hybrid threw a barrage of punches that only aimed for the alien's stomach, before kicking him away, creating distance. Charging up a ki blast in his left hand, he aimed it right towards Frieza's back.

Vegeta couldn't believe how much power a small child could hold, especially when they're enraged. He watched Gohan sent out multiple ki blasts towards Frieza, watching the debris go in different directions.

'Incredible... When the kid loses control, he can draw out that much power?! Does that mean he's the closest to becoming a super saiyan?!'

Gohan was starting to slowly calm down as he heard his name being called. Looking towards the water, he sees that Dende had found Krillin. "Stay focused! We don't have much time!" demanded Vegeta as he pointed towards Frieza.

He was buried in a pile of debris before he stood up from the ground, as if Gohan's attacks didn't even phase him. He started to fly towards Gohan with an eerily calm smile, stopping right in his face.

Before Vegeta could tell him to run away, Frieza had slapped the child away from him, making him crash to the ground. Before he could finish him off, he barely dodged a ki attack from someone.

Turning to the sender, he gritted his teeth to see that the blade warrior was still alive. Krillin sent out multiple destructo-disks, needing a few of them to hit Frieza. With succession, he was able to cut off Frieza's tail.

The tall alien gave him a look of hatred as he soared his way towards him. In time, Krillin was able to use Solar Flare to blind him, making him get away. Gohan was about to power up again, until he felt someone flew next to him.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting"

"P-piccolo!!"

Back at Frieza's ship, you finally woke up from your nap, a light groan emitted from your lips as you looked around the area. There was no sign of Vegeta, Krillin, Gohan, and the dragon balls.

Rubbing your eyes, you slowly stood from the ground and stretched, feeling the soft pops in your joints as you let out a sigh. "Where could they be...?" you murmured as you looked around to see that Goku was still outside, but this time, he was asleep.

Quietly walking towards him, you gently nudged him away, watching his eyebrows slightly furrow. "C'mon Goku..." you spoke lightly, even though you wanted to nap a little longer, but something was going on.

After some time, he finally opened his eyes, his black eyes finding your dull ones as a small smile landed on his lips. "That was a great nap" he muttered as he hopped up to his feet. He looked around the area to see that you were the only two out here.

"Where's everyone at? I can barely feel their ki" you hummed at his words as you went to see if they were inside. Looking around each room and training room, they were nowhere to be found.

Before you could leave the area, you felt arms wrap around your waist, seeing that it was Goku's. 'He really is a hugger...' you thought as you emitted a light chuckle.

"Do you wanna just spar before we can go find them? They're probably trying to summon Shenron right now" Goku insisted as you gave him a short nod as you both walked into one of the training rooms.

Once you both stretched, you both began to spar. 'I wonder what they're doing out there. And the fact that they didn't even wake us up; especially Vegeta...'

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

A tense atmosphere was present as Frieza stared at the namekian with a grim look. 'There's something different about him that sets him apart from the other namekian... He's more imposing'

He let out an annoyed sigh, seeing that he was going to deal with another opponent. 'Even so, his fate will be the same. He's no match for me' he thought with confidence as he started to descend to the ground, watching Piccolo do the same.

The two stared down at each other, ready for someone to make a move. "Is he crazy?! He's gonna get himself killed!" exclaimed Krillin as the three continued to watch the fight.

With quick movement, Piccolo soared towards him with now warning before delivering a blow to Frieza's jaw, shocking him as well. He was sent back but was able to recover and quickly aimed a deadly kick to Piccolo's side.

The namekian groaned in pain, but was able to counter, by headbutting him. He was then smacked by Frieza's tail, not knowing that he had one. He landed safely on the ground as he felt a ki blast aimed directly at him.

With the newfound powers he trained with, he was able to parry it away from him, making it hit a mountain that was far away from the open area. Once he saw that Frieza was distracted, he fired a huge blast at him.

As the smoke cleared up, he knew that Frieza locked the attack, but he saw that he was making an effort in the fight. Burned marks and bruises littered his body as he stared at the namekian with hatred.

He rushed towards Piccolo as they started to exchange punches and kicks. Each attack held some much power, Vegeta thought they would be at an equal level. Maybe even higher than Frieza.

As the barrages continued, Frieza was able to find a small opening, but he took the opportunity. Aiming his fist to Piccolo's stomach, he was able to stun him before spiking him to the ground.

He hoped that he was able to defeat the namekian, but his menacing expression changed into shock and was followed with anger. Piccolo stood up from the ground, cuts lightly littered his face.

A nonchalant expression was worn as he took off his hat and cape. Which shocked Frieza was that he was wearing weighted clothing, hearing a loud bang that was emitted when it hit the ground.

Cracking his neck and his wrist, he stared at him with a smirk. "Then I suppose I'll do the same... No more playing around" he taunted. Frieza stared at with a look of disbelief before he felt himself chuckling.

His chuckles then started to become full laughter. "If you really think weighted clothing is gonna help you with the fight?!" he emitted a laughter once more before a serious expression laced his face.

"Each time I transform, my power increases substantially," he explained as he held up two fingers. "I have two more transformations still remaining" he chuckled at the shocked expressions he earned from everyone around him.

"I hope you feel honored; you are the first to see this!" Getting into a charging stance, Piccolo's eyes widened when three spikes started to come out of Frieza's body, hearing his body stretch made him cringed at the sound.

His head grew longer as his height grew shorter, but at the same time, they felt more ki overwhelm the area, nearly making it hard to breath. 'T-that monster! How can he hold this much power?!'

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

Back to you and Goku, the sparring session came to a stop when you both felt ki skyrocket. "Do you feel that?" questioned Goku, making sure that you felt it as well. "Yeah. What could be happening?"

You both quickly ran out of the spaceship as you felt the ki skyrocket once more. "Who's ki is this? Is this Frieza's?" you questioned as you both ascended in the air. "I think it is!" Goku replied.

"C'mon, we have to get there before something happens!" you both flew towards the location of the massive amount of ki. Your eyes widened when you felt more ki energies nearby.

'We're coming guys! Just hang on! Me and Nemui are on our way!'

With the newfound quickness you were both able to achieve, you both landed at the scene right behind them. Multiple eyes stared at the two fighters as they stopped whatever they were doing.

You both carefully walked towards the person that was probably Frieza. Looking downwards, Vegeta could be seen unmoving on the ground in front of him. "So the dragon balls brought you back, Piccolo?" you questioned, earning a firm nod from him.

"Let us handle it from here" reassured Goku as the both of you stopped a few feet away from the smaller alien. "You must be Frieza... You're a lot shorter than I thought you'd be..."

The purple and white alien stared at the both of you as he took in your appearances. 'I could swear... That I've seen them before... Why do they look the same?'

You hear Vegeta cough up blood before he spoke in a hoarse tone. "K-kakarot... Nemui... You're h-here..." As he spoke the names of the saiyans, Frieza's eyes widened.

'That's it! They both look like the saiyan who rebelled against me before I destroyed planet Vegeta!' He then turned his gaze towards you, a cold look plastered your face.

'I haven't heard of the other saiyan's name before...'

"I can't permit even a single saiyan to live. No point in resisting... You could save yourself the trouble and bow down to me now" Frieza demanded, earning annoyed looks from the two saiyans.

"I bet you would like that..." you muttered lowly, but he was able to hear you. With no warning, Frieza tried to swing his tail at the both of you, but he saw that you two vanished.

He then felt a hard kick to the jaw from Goku and blow to the gut from you. Stepping a few feet back, he lightly cupped his jaw and his stomach, feeling light bruises coming up. He stared at the both of you with an eerie smile before he fired multiple lasers from his finger.

You both stood there, waiting for his attacks to come closer before deflecting them away, shocking the attacker. "It can't be... They deflected all of them with one hand..."

You three turned to Vegeta as he let out a broken chuckle as he turned his gaze towards Frieza, a cocky smirk laced his lips. "D-don't underestimate them, F-frieza... Both of them are super saiyans!"

A look of fear wiped the choked look on Frieza's face before he quickly fired a beam at Vegeta 's heart. His body collapses to the ground as you and Goku crouch near him. "You both need to focus on him instead of me!"

"We can never do that, Vegeta. Don't speak, it'll only hasten your death" you tried to reason, but you knew how stubborn he was. "Listen to me, you two... The reason why planet Vegeta, the world where the three of us were born, is gone..."

He watched as the two saiyans waited for him to continue, seeing that they wanted to hear about what happened on their home planet. "Frieza... He's the one that destroyed it..."

His voice was starting to go out, but he had to keep going, needing to say this before he would be enveloped in cold darkness. "He murdered everyone one of them, except for us"

Shocked expressions laced your faces as you both continued to listen. "Please, Nemui and Kakarot... I beg you both... Frieza must die by the hands of a... Saiyan..." before he could fully succumb to death, he felt himself being picked up gently off the ground, feeling warmth.

With the little energy he had, his eyes opened to see you. He felt himself leaning towards your chest as he listened to your calm heartbeat as another hand was gently placed on his head, feeling it giving a comforting pat.

He slowly gazed his eyes of the owner of the hand to see that it was Goku. His lasts moments of living were you two comforting him before he took his last breath. You felt his tears fall onto your arm as he felt limp.

You both stood there in silence as Goku began to dig a hole in the dirt. Once it was deep enough, you gently placed Vegeta's body into the hole. "I think we get it now" you started.

"You weren't upset that your people were killed... You despised being his puppet..."

A gentle huff escaped your lips as you continued to speak. "Even though I have no memory of my home, I hoped that it was peaceful before the attacks..." You watched in silence as Goku started to place dirt onto his body.

"We're going to be part of your pride, Vegeta..." Goku added as you both turned towards him with angered expression. "For all the saiyans that you've killed, as well as the people of planet Namek..."

"We're going to defeat you!"
