After a minute of silence, the red light in Shenron Porunga's eyes gradually dimmed.
"Your wish has been granted. Please state your final wish."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, Vegeta and Frieza arrived one after the other!
Vegeta landed in a hurry and shouted, "Earthlings! Make a wish—quickly! I want to be immortal!"
Frieza's eyes narrowed. "Vegeta! You're trying to steal my wish!"
With a flick of his wrist, Frieza fired a Ki Blast, blasting Vegeta clear across the battlefield.
Then he turned toward the sky and yelled, "Shenron! Make me 20 centimeters taller!"
…
Krillin and the others stared blankly. What kind of wish was that!?
But Porunga did not react. He simply repeated in a deep, calm voice:
"Please state your final wish."
Frieza blinked. "What? Shenron, didn't you hear me!?"
No response.
Furious, Frieza turned back toward the group, eyes glowing with rage.
"You! Help me fulfill my wish—or die!"
Dende took a defiant step forward. "I won't help a villain like you make a wish!"
Frieza exploded with rage. His energy surged outward, knocking everyone away with a shockwave.
Boom!
Just then, Rayden, Son Goku, and Son Gohan arrived and caught everyone before they hit the ground.
In the distance, the Grand Elder's life force finally faded. Porunga let out a low groan, his massive body breaking apart into golden light. The seven Namekian Dragon Balls turned to stone and scattered across the planet.
Dende fell to his knees, tears in his eyes. "Great Elder…"
Frieza growled. "Shenron's gone?! It's all because of you!"
"You're all going to die!"
"Aaaahhh!!"
Frieza unleashed his full power—100% combat strength, 120 million!
Rayden and Son Goku's aura erupted, and they launched themselves at Frieza.
"Kaio-ken x20!" Goku roared.
(After surviving multiple near-death experiences, Goku's base power had climbed to 3.72 million.)
Watching the battle, Yamcha trembled. "T-That power… my legs are shaking!"
Even Piccolo looked grim. "Damn it!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The power gap was immense. The battle was so fast, it was impossible to see clearly—only deafening crashes echoed through the sky.
Rayden and Goku both used Afterimage Technique, creating dozens of illusions to confuse Frieza.
At first, Frieza was caught off guard and took a few hits, but he quickly adapted and began dominating again.
"Go to hell!"
Frieza gathered energy in his palm.
"Flame Wave!"
A scorching torrent of fire blasted toward Rayden.
"Aaahh!!"
Rayden took the hit head-on, unable to dodge, his scream echoing in the air.
At the same time, Frieza raised his other hand and created a circular blade of energy.
"Cut Disc!"
(A more powerful version of Krillin's Destructo Disc.)
He hurled it at Goku, who barely dodged in time.
Taking advantage of the opening, Frieza lunged at Rayden again.
Bang!
Grabbing Rayden by the throat, Frieza drove a knee into his stomach.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ugh—ahh!!"
Rayden's ribs cracked under the relentless blows.
Boom!
Frieza kicked Rayden into the ground, then summoned an enormous energy blade.
"Earth-Shattering Slash!"
He brought it down in a sweeping arc.
A deep crack split across Namek's surface.
(If not for Porunga reinforcing the planet earlier, Namek would have been split in two!)
Rayden's body was engulfed by the explosion and vanished.
"Rayden!!" Krillin screamed in horror.
His cry caught Frieza's attention.
"That bald little pest…!" Frieza's eyes narrowed. "You're the one who stole my Dragon Balls!"
Krillin began backing away.
"Time to die, cue ball!"
Frieza opened his palm and used Telekinesis, locking Krillin in place.
Krillin floated helplessly in the air. "G-Goku! Help me!"
Goku's face twisted in dread. "Frieza! Let him go!!"
Frieza chuckled darkly. "Hohoho… Too late."
Bang!
Krillin's body inflated like a balloon.
Unable to withstand the energy, he exploded.
"Krilliiiin!!"
Goku froze. Memories of Krillin flashed in his mind—
their training as kids… their first martial arts tournaments… every adventure they'd shared…
"Ah…AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"
Goku's fists clenched as he let out a soul-shaking roar.
His aura surged, overflowing with wild, uncontrollable power.
BOOM!
The entire planet trembled.
The sky darkened, thunder rumbling as lightning flashed overhead.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Chunks of earth rose into the sky, caught in the swirling energy.
A blinding light surrounded Goku as lightning bolts crashed down around him.
Then… silence.
Frieza froze, stunned.
Standing before him was not the same Son Goku.
Golden flames wrapped around Goku's body.
His black hair had turned golden yellow, standing upright.
His eyes had turned teal.
The air itself seemed to bend around him.
Goku had transformed.
Super Saiyan.
(This form multiplies a Saiyan's base power 50 times.)
Goku's base: 3.72 million
Transformed: 186 million combat power
Frieza's eyes widened. "W-What… is this?!"
He remembered an ancient warning passed down by his ancestors—Beware the golden-haired Saiyan.
He had dismissed it as superstition.
He was wrong.
From afar, Vegeta finally returned, just in time to witness Goku's transformation.
"No… It can't be…"
I'm the Prince of all Saiyans! The strongest in the universe!
Why…? Why Kakarot!? A low-class warrior… able to do what I cannot?!
Vegeta clenched his fists in despair.

Rayden blinked as he returned to life, energy surging through him.
His eyes turned toward the battlefield.
"Goku... Super Saiyan…" he whispered.
"So it really happened. And… Krillin's death was the price…"
Rayden's gaze hardened.
"Frieza… I won't forgive you."
---
Goku charged at Frieza, golden aura blazing.
Frieza sneered, "Even if you're a Super Saiyan—you can't beat me!"
But Goku didn't answer.
He vanished and reappeared in front of Frieza.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rayden joined the fray, flanking Frieza from the opposite side.
The two launched a devastating combo. Their movements blurred from speed, striking Frieza dozens of times in seconds.
"Aaaaagh!!"
Frieza staggered back. He clenched his fists and coated himself in purple energy.
"Nova Strike!!"
Encased in a blazing orb, Frieza shot toward Rayden like a meteor.
Boom!
They clashed mid-air, fists slamming into one another.
Frieza's face contorted in disbelief.
"My strongest move… did nothing!?"
Is his power… equal to mine!?
Just as Frieza began to panic, Goku flew in, filled with raw fury.
"RAAAAHHHH!!"
Punch after punch slammed into Frieza's face.
The tyrant reeled, unable to fight back.
His face puffed up, swollen and bruised like a grotesque balloon.
The tide had turned.
