"Vegeta, prepare to die!"

Cooler vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, he was right in front of Vegeta, and he threw a punch.

Vegeta dodged the attack with an uncanny maneuver, then quickly counterattacked.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The two exchanged hundreds of blows in an instant. Cooler seized an opening and punched Vegeta straight into a mountain.

[ Ding! Battle Power attribute worth 50 dropped ahead. ]

System notifications rang in Son Gohan's ears one after another. Seeing the Battle Power attributes scattered all over the ground, he was overjoyed.

Krillin wanted to help, but couldn't find a good opportunity. After all, the enemy of one's enemy was a friend.

Although Son Gohan's tremendous strength meant he didn't need Vegeta's help at all, Vegeta had still stepped in. The message was clear: they were on the same team now.

"Ah!"

Vegeta powered up, and the entire mountain vanished in an instant. He charged at Cooler and unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks.

"Ooh, looks like our Prince Vegeta is fighting for his life! I'm so scared!"

Cooler dodged Vegeta's attacks as he taunted him.

I just love how you can't stand me, but can't do a thing about it.

"Curse you! Don't look down on me! I'm a genius warrior of the Saiyan race. How could I possibly lose to a bastard like you?"

Cooler's contemptuous words enraged Vegeta's proud heart. His energy surged, and his movements grew faster and faster.

He couldn't lose this fight. He was going to twist off Cooler's head and kick it around like a ball.

Thud!

Cooler was kicked high into the air. Vegeta followed close behind, as if playing soccer.

He battered Cooler's body back and forth, then raised both hands high and drove a heavy punch into him.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, Cooler's body hit the ground like a bomb, leaving a deep crater.

Vegeta hovered high above and pressed his advantage, using the Prince's Fighting Style to rain Energy Blasts down on Cooler in the crater.

[ Ding! Battle Power attribute worth 100 dropped ahead. ]

As Vegeta continued firing Energy Blasts, the system notifications rang incessantly in Son Gohan's mind.

Rumble!

The Energy Blasts exploded in the crater, sending smoke billowing into the sky!

After firing hundreds, even thousands, of Energy Blasts, Vegeta panted slightly as he watched smoke and dust swirl through the crater.

"Cooler, that guy just loves to play around."

Pickup!

The Battle Power attributes on the ground streamed toward Son Gohan and merged into his body.

The number on his personal status screen kept jumping. After a few breaths, the Battle Power figure finally stopped changing.

Son Gohan saw that his Battle Power had increased by more than 30,000. The system was incredible! Just standing by and watching had netted him Battle Power attributes.

"My adorable Prince Vegeta, you almost killed me just now. It feels great to beat someone down, doesn't it? Now it's my turn to attack!"

When the smoke cleared, Cooler's clothes were tattered, and he looked a little battered.

He rose from the crater, flew over to Vegeta, and flashed a sinister grin.

Th-this can't be. How could that bastard be so strong?

Seeing Cooler completely unharmed, Vegeta felt a surge of fear.

His feet carried him backward a few steps before he could stop himself. He'd already used all of his strength.

"Full power!"

Cooler unleashed a powerful aura and brought out all his strength for the fight.

Small stones on the ground slowly floated into the air as a formidable aura surged from his body.

There was no point in playing around anymore. He slammed his two boulder-sized fists into the ground.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Energy Waves shot up from beneath the ground. Vegeta was hit in an instant and sent flying into the air.

Cooler gave him no chance to catch his breath.

His speed surged as he chased after Vegeta, his fists hammering into him like a storm.

"Ah! Ah!"

Vegeta's screams rang out across the sky.

Cooler landed a heavy punch, driving Vegeta into the ground.

Crash!

Vegeta's body struck the earth like a missile, blasting a deep crater into it.

He lay limply in the middle of the crater.

He panted heavily, occasionally coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He was in a sorry state, completely overpowered by Cooler.

"Hahaha! Now it's your turn, little Earthlings!"

Cooler turned to Son Gohan and Krillin with a playful grin.

His confidence was through the roof. He'd beaten Vegeta to a pulp, so what could these two little brats possibly do?

"Hahaha! Ignorance is bliss. Let me show you my Binding Technique!"

Son Gohan was eager to try out his newly learned skill.

He'd already accomplished his purpose in coming to Planet Namek.

He'd obtained Dende's Healing Attribute and Guldo's Time Attribute.

"W-what? I can't move!"

"You—you learned Guldo's psychic power!"

Cooler stared at Son Gohan in terror, trembling as though he'd seen a ghost.

His body was completely restrained, leaving him unable to move.

He knew that feeling all too well: the Binding Technique.

"What the hell!"

"Impossible! An Earthling can use the Binding Technique too!"

"Cooler's in trouble now."

Jeice and Burter of the Ginyu Force stared at Son Gohan in utter shock.

How could this kid use Guldo's psychic power?

Had he just learned it?

If so, that was terrifying.

"That's amazing, Gohan! You're incredible!"

Krillin, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Gohan to learn that move too.

He'd experienced how powerful it was firsthand: his body had been restrained, and he couldn't use an ounce of strength.

"Hahaha! Enjoy yourself!"

Son Gohan used the Object Control Technique again.

The stones on the ground floated up and shot toward Cooler like machine-gun fire.

"Ah! Ah!"

Cooler screamed incessantly as he hung in the air.

His strength was completely restrained, and he had no way to use it.

He couldn't move either. In just a few breaths, his face was battered and bruised.

Jeice, the vice-captain, immediately realized things had gone badly. There was no need to follow any rules of the game now.

Cooler couldn't move at all. Sooner or later, the kid would beat him to death.

He looked at Burter and nodded. After years of working together, Burter immediately understood what Jeice meant.

The two vanished from where they stood. When they reappeared, they were right in front of Son Gohan.

Jeice and Burter both aimed a kick at Son Gohan's head.

If those kicks connected, his head would surely burst like a loofah.

They were confident they could rescue Cooler. They were the fastest in the universe, after all.

But their plan went awry.

What happened next completely overturned everything they knew.
