(Frieza-POV)
"-And we've not one word from the Ginyu Force back on Namek. The status of the forces and those of Cooler's soldiers and himself? Heh, that is unfortunate that… The Ginyu Force were powerful, loyal and their name held a not so small amount of fear to those who would incite rebellion. Pity, though this changes nothing at all." Frieza, no longer relaxing had promptly reached his fourth form, a flicker of power before reaching his Golden form at any time.
"Perhaps should I feel inclined to, I shall wish the Ginyu Force back. And Cooler, he may stay with father in the next dimension, like I care about his plots with those Hera, I might add are even worse than the Saiyan's."
"Sir, our last transmission had also informed us of the Heeter Force, we've determined their really were intending to incite a revolt, their presense on Namek… a high probability of their purpose there would be for the same thing we were after." Zarbon, a hand on the shoulder of one of the telecommunication soldiers, the alien wincing the more he pressed down on his shoulder armor.
"Will be arriving in thirty minutes- eh, that ain't right…" Dodoria trailed off, looking down at some of the instruments, the ones for scanning, which as Frieza eyed them at that moment he also seen the problem.
"Hmm… ah, so I shall take this as a direct confirmation, that the force sent to Namek in order to secure the dragon balls has been destroyed. I say, I find their continued meddling not becoming, as I was certain the Ginyu Force was enough combined power to be capable of securing the dragon balls before Cooler would get his mits on them. That the Earthlings have now shown the capacity for moving from one place to another in a way as to intercept us here now…" Frieza felt his right eye twitch, clear signs of his ire showed wafting, energy of a golden yellow, dark purple mix intermixed could now be seen from in front of his narrowed eyes, the aura dangerous to the spaceship itself.
He held his breath for a moment, then breathed out a small sigh, relaxing somewhat for unlike Cooler's training which as it did make him formidable and therefore, cocky enough to dare plot in the open, Frieza had something even their father didn't.
A mutation that helped him surpass both Cooler and their father combined. Thanks to more understanding of his physical condition, through his many scientists he has in his employ, he'd learned many things of his philology that even his father didn't know, among the information, was that of his race's bio-mass being super potent in the tail area, already knowing that their species had the ability to regenerate limbs, he now had two ways of growing stronger, through training and through the consumption of his tail.
Even his pride took a nose dive at learning about this, then indulging in self-mutilation, the information was long-buried and those few scientists who made the discovery were dealt with, Frieza has since come to the conclusion that for his vengeance to come to fruition, his pride couldn't get in the way. The savagery of eating one's own flesh, even while gaining a substantial boost of power from each time he consumed his tail made him ill but he done it anyway and he cursed those savage monkey's for making him do something so uncouth.
But the power he acculminated were worth it and each time he trained, and through that, each time he… fed on the potentiness of his tail continued to rise his power to new heights, each time strengthening his latent power and, through training helped to control this new strength while his body begun to adapt to the power coursing through him each time.
Frieza was certain he had the advantage this time around, and by the barbarism he enacted in on himself, he was plenty sure that not even Cooler nor any of those Saiyan's… even Majin Buu or the destroyer god lord Beerus were nothing to his power!
"The fleet… have them manuever around, to led by you Seven-Three and Saganbo… Zarbon, lead the rest of our forces and begin searching for the dragon balls, accompanied by Dodoria and Yunba. I will personally see to it that my enemies have been dealt a mortal blow that they will never recover from, for I and I alone am the only one who can. A waste of resources for the armada to persue these meddlers, I want those dragon balls… securing them is your priority. Failure is akin to death, Zarbon… Seven-Three… Saganbo. So do not fail me. Raku, you and your Hera warriors shall deal with any stronger force remaining on Earth, I want high casualties for their people." those mentioned either nodded, as Zarbon did, smirked in savage glee as Saganbo did and one of the Hera Commander's of his new shock troopers.
"Will be done my lord. My only regret is that I shall not be there to see the look on those monkey's faces when they realize that their death has come at your hands sire. Especially that so-called King Vegeta, as he so arrogantly calls himself these days. Pitiful." Zarbon in a sinister cackle at his own mockery of that runt Vegeta, a chuckle escaping Frieza himself, those assembled among him then left for their assigned positions, the leaders among them Saganbo, Yunba, Shimorekka and Zauyogi.
Frieza prepared to leave the ship himself, heading for the center of the ship through corridors of his soldiers, cowering at sight of his majestic presence, he strode through them all hands at his back and tail swaying. At the center and awaiting as the soldier working the controls begun the procedures for opening the top door, he rose into the air, at once the vacuum entering the chamber though he remained uneffected by the loss of the artificial gravity of his commanding craft, he left and then landed on top of the ship, he flickered into space and with his newfound sensing ability he easily found the beacons of power that were doing their damndest to remain hidden and indeed they were… to their scouters but not to him.
(Dabura-POV)
A few of them were leaking their power, not by choice but simply because some of these fools… namely Cumber and Nouva weren't used to yet being able to fully hide their own strength to the degree that those of the others here, most of them decided to not bother afterwards while they all reached their maximum power for the incoming conflict, the plan already decided with Vegeta and Goku being the ones to face Frieza.
The others were their own problem, the first line of defense for Earth. It always brought a quiet font of amusement to him whenever he reflected on his recent life these days, from King of the Demon Realm to pauper simply because of boredom, then joining up with former enemies.
"Seems the bulk of that group aren't coming straight for us anymore; they are now giving our position a wide berth." Goku said, gaze narrowed in the distance, a golden light illuminating a dot in the distance and getting closer.
"Heh, Frieza is bold for coming here alone… it changes things for those of his men are no longer going to be a direct threat to us here. Which means hunting them down, splitting us up." Piccolo added, Dabura hearing when Seventeen add after.
"Then use that fusion. Towa will be ready to empower you and the rest of us can head after the rest of them together while Towa, I and someone else to remain as support for us. I and Eighteen then, you up for being a battery instead of seeing some action?" he turned to her, she shrugged.
"Fine then." some nodded in agreement, though most of the others were more interested in Frieza, now closing in on our group. Frieza, enshrouded in a purple-golden aura burst forwards, then stopping on the spot as his aura dispersed. He folded both arms, tail swished behind him while he gazed at the lot of them with different looks of interest, then turning to Vegeta.
"Vegeta, seems like your crony Kron isn't here… although I am sure he and some of the rest of you have that interesting ability to move from place to place with ease, so I should be expecting that traitorous monkey to appear at but the use of it. Well then, I came for vengeance, but I can allow myself to work in an extra bit of amusement in tearing the lot of you into pieces… I am surprised that there are some of you of which I know from experience to have no survivability in space… but you're here."
"Frieza, you've a mouth on you for sure. As I recall, it was you who was spared at the whim of that simpleton. Kron should have finished you off, though I am of the mind he wanted to have someone out there who lives rent-free inside their head, in order to continue to offer him a no-holds barred bout. I however have no intent to let you stew in your thoughts for revenge. There is only room for one royal family in this universe, cretin." Vegeta floated forwards, arms at his side at the ready while the others bar Goku floated backwards to begin to leave, Dabura wanted to hear the traded barbs for a moment more before he too would go, with Mira and one of the others.
'Mira, you're with me.' he thought, telepathically as the forever brooding nephew of his didn't even deign him with an answer, Dabura then turned to Cumber as he enjoyed Mira and Cumber's hostility to one another.
"Cumber, will go this way." Gohan, Piccolo, Pikkon and Raditz backed off slowly where as Frieza recognized their gaining distance from him, Vegeta and Goku… also noting where Seventeen and Eighteen were with Towa at the ready to vanish should she need to, in order to remain hidden.
"Seems you've been readying for me, I admit I've underestimated your people for your interesting techniques, to come and go as you want… I wouldn't imagine you lot would inform me as to the origin of such a interesting technique." Goku replied, a smirk that matched Frieza's, as Vegeta scoffed loudly.
"You're not here to learn from us… so I think we should just get started. This fight, it will be I and Vegeta here against you. The others will be leaving shortly. After all, we can't just let your people do as they please, sure you understand that." Dabura seen Frieza before he left that Goku and then Vegeta enter into their battle stances, Frieza's hands held to the side fingers spread out, the two Saiyan's entering their own similar stances.
(Goku-POV)
'So, Vegeta… how are we doing this?' he asked, both of them at once ignited, their energy already at their maximum sure, though they were only within 'Super Saiyan', their warm-up and the fact their power was readied meant reaching 'Super Saiyan Four' for Vegeta and 'Super Saiyan Blue' for Goku would be fast. Frieza hovered in his mockery of gathering energy, a permanent smirk affixed to his face as his energy reappeared, wisps of gold and purple enshrouding him once again. If they were on a planet, Goku would have seen the immediate quaking that would erupt around them, as it were…
Vegeta and Goku growled in equal measure, wisps of red and blue flickering around Vegeta, his transformation into 'Super Saiyan Primal' happened in dramatic fashion, his hair turned from golden to black, elongating as well subtly, then black hair turned blue, Vegeta's aura flashing from deep crimson to blue. Goku reached 'Super Saiyan blue' faster then Vegeta for he'd jumped from the first transformation to 'Blue'. Frieza's scouter didn't blow, though he did throw it aside for it to drift in space… his own energy then eclipsing, doubled in size around him.
Frieza was no longer smiling, his face tensing and he begun roaring in place, energy discharging around him randomly, while their combined energy gathering begun to attract nearby asteroids to begin enclosing around them all.
'Hmph, test him first… If I can beat him withou fusion, my mood will be greatly improved… to rely on such a state. Kakarot, we will fight him together but I want to finish this bastard off.' Goku didn't reply telepathically, though he seen Vegeta looking with a serious expression, nodding in agreement. He turned to where Towa, Eighteen and Seventeen remained and connected telepathically with her.
'We're going to fight him at first, separately. Just be mindful that Frieza might come after you three. Your also in range should he begin throwing out energy attacks so…'
'We're ready here… just don't stall any longer-" Frieza intensified in his empowerment, gathering Ki that begun to fluctuate around him, cackling with more bolts of energy, his screaming more erratic. Goku expected this of course, for seeing Cooler being capable, he was sure Frieza could also go beyond. Frieza transformed dramatically at first, going through a… metamorphosis was the word? His body changing, bulking at first as spikes begun sprouting from his back, the golden color remaining a permanent fixture of his appearance, with white and purple. The White begun to change then, as his hoarse growling intensified; asteroids of various sizes now begun encircling the three of them as if they were three suns.
"Here he goes…" Vegeta looked on, thrilled with the changes as did Goku, sensing their opponents power begin climbing even higher, the white of Frieza's body turning black, Frieza grew in size similar to Cooler was within his fifth form, golden transformation as shock-waves begun pulsing outwards in steady beats, shattering with ease any rock that found itself in the waves paths.
"!!" and like that, the roaring inferno that was their powering up all came to a closure, with Frieza's position becoming at first obscured by the various debris that having been shattered, all rotated around him as if he was gravity. The rocks were then illuminated with a faint purple aura, suddenly sent racing for the two of them while Frieza was revealed in that moment after, standing there with a faint aura of darkened purple energy around him, a hand held forwards with a grin.
Rocks weren't a problem for the two of them though, Vegeta and Goku's own energy that radiated around themselves were enough to turn the rocks sent flying at them to dust, Frieza chuckling in that moment as he spoke in a mocking tone, his voice deepened.
"Here it is… the culmination of your demise. And that of your friends… I'd reached this form afterwards, at the mere mercy of that fool and through the desire to get even… this time I shall be victorious. But testing myself on two monkeys at once, is a great opportunity for me to assert my renewed authority on the universe. Not even Cooler will be spared should he remain content to oppose me." Goku replied for Vegeta looked downright ready to begin the bout, before they did go at it… Goku wanted to inform him of Cooler's brief employment, which was funny still to Goku.
"Not my news to bring to the table Frieza, but I've longed wanted to face you myself."
"A monkey with a sense of humor to him, though I do suppose you're less amusng then the self-proclaimed Saiyan King among us here. Though do tell, what has gone through your heads that assures you that survival against me is even remotley possible here? None of you are going to get out of here alive, no and it won't me running… this time. Why, shall we forgo all this talk and get down to buisness." Frieza tensed, bracing himself for the beginning to the fight when Vegeta let out the last word, smirking slightly while Goku tensed up while entering his own stance.
"And you don't want to hear about your so-called elite? Those posers, all but one were taken out and Cooler… Why, last I heard he has decided to halt his own plans after Kron was shown to have being easily able to toy with the bastard. For whatever Beerus want's Cooler for, I will make sure that he doesn't get here before I end you myself-" Goku noticed the change of demeanor immediately, for Frieza went from a relaxed mocking stance into turning guarded, his gaze widened for a moment though he caught himself after a few seconds as he replied with interest.
"...You Speak of Beerus the destroyer… that doesn't change things for you all here! I do not see his face here, so my killing you two first and finishing off the others here shall be but the first of the dominos to fall in my path to take the dragon balls. And I've since learned of that your Earth also has a set… No more… anymore chatting here and I'll find myself regretting it. Admire my new transformation in awe for it shall be the only time you get to see it!" Goku readied himself, Vegeta as well as he entered his own fighting stance in practiced motion, the two of them facing off against an even more powerful foe then that Cooler, Frieza pounced on the two of them, offsetting their stances through launching merciless blows, catching the two off-guard from the sheer outpacing speed Frieza displayed.
They reacted as quickly as possible, backpeddling to some distance, Frieza hot on their trail until, with Goku readied and Vegeta with annoyingly great relutance… he held onto it, turning to shout back at Goku.
"Not yet fool-" Vegeta was struck in the face as Goku closed the gap, engaging with Frieza in a melee brawl, Vegeta quickly recovering and joining in on the melee exchange, the two feeling their energy rise dramatically, Goku noting Vegeta's Ki-aura and therefore his own took on that darkened-blue aura which meant Towa was empowering them right now.
