The vast universe.
Planet No. 67.
King Cold, Frieza's father, felt as if something was missing from his heart.
A tear slipped from the corner of his eye before he knew it.
What's wrong with me?
Why does my heart hurt so much?
Just as King Cold stood there, utterly bewildered,
a voice snapped him back to reality. He casually wiped away the tear at the corner of his eye.
"Reporting, King Cold. We just detected that King Frieza's vital signs have disappeared."
"Lord Frieza seemed to be fighting someone. They both gave off tremendous Battle Power, and then the Scouters exploded."
An electric door slid open, and a toad-like alien hurried over to King Cold, who was seated on his throne, and spoke respectfully.
"W-what? My son Frieza's vital signs have disappeared?"
King Cold was suddenly struck by the terrible news, and fury surged through him.
But then he thought about it. His son was a member of the Frost Demon Clan, with a tenacious life force. He couldn't have died so easily.
Even if all that remained of Frieza was a few cells, he could still be brought back to life.
He kept trying to soothe his agitated heart.
"We're leaving at once. We'll search the place where Frieza disappeared."
"I want to see him alive or dead."
King Cold roared at his subordinates below.
I'll see for myself just who this person is, daring to lay a hand on my son.
I'll tear them limb from limb!
But he had no idea that even Frieza's cells had melted away under the energy of the Kamehameha.
"Yes, sir. I'll see to it at once."
The toad-like alien ran out, trembling with fear.
He had never seen King Cold this furious.
In truth, Frieza hadn't told his father, King Cold, that he was going to Planet Namek to find the Dragon Balls and make a wish.
He wanted to gain eternal life and rule the universe for even longer.
If he told his father, King Cold would surely compete with him for the chance to make a wish on the Dragon Balls.
On Planet Namek.
"Lord King Kai."
"Lord King Kai, can you hear me?"
Son Goku shouted into the sky.
Krillin, Bulma, Dende, and the others were all gathered together now.
After discussing it, everyone had decided to revive all the Namekians first.
Then they would use Planet Namek's Dragon Balls to revive everyone on Earth.
"Yes, Goku. I can hear you."
"Gohan defeated Frieza. This is truly cause for celebration."
"You've done the universe a tremendous service."
North Kai said with delight.
Frieza had run wild across the universe, gathering followers and forming alliances.
He had been a blight on the universe, and now that blight had finally been removed.
"Lord King Kai, I'd like you to notify Earth's Kami and have him use the Dragon Balls to revive the Namekians."
"Then we can use Planet Namek's Dragon Balls to revive everyone on Earth."
Son Goku briefly explained the group's plan.
"Good. That's an excellent idea. It'll let people on both sides come back to life."
King Kai thought it was a very good plan after hearing Goku out.
He immediately notified Earth's Kami and told him what had happened on Planet Namek.
As soon as Kami heard the news, he got to work, searching for the Dragon Balls so he could make a wish.
Meanwhile, on Planet Namek.
[ding, Battle Power attribute dropped ahead: 10000.] [ding, Battle Power attribute +10000.]
The system's notifications kept sounding in Son Gohan's mind.
A smile tugged at his lips as he watched the two fighting in the air with interest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sounds of their blows colliding echoed through the sky without pause.
That's right—the two fighting up there were Son Goku and Vegeta, a pair of battle-crazed Saiyans.
Saiyans loved to fight. The two of them were giving it everything they had over that promise about Earth.
They knew that Son Gohan and Dende's Healing Technique was miraculous; as long as someone still had a breath left, they could save him.
So they held nothing back.
Neither of them cared about getting hurt. Their punches landed flesh to flesh, as if the other were the sworn enemy who had killed his father.
"Ah!"
The two men's screams rang out through the sky again and again.
"Holy crap!"
"Saiyans are seriously insane."
"Just hearing them scream makes me hurt."
Krillin's mouth twitched involuntarily as he watched their fight, his scalp tingling.
If Son Gohan hadn't been here, he would have run as far away as he could.
Their battle shook the earth. The ground was a mess, pitted and scarred, with craters everywhere.
Son Goku wasn't using Kaio-ken. If he had, Vegeta would have been completely outmatched.
Both of them were using everything they had, trying to knock the other down.
Vegeta flashed behind Son Goku and attacked, but halfway through his punch, he suddenly changed direction and swung to the right.
But it was still too late. Son Goku drove a knee into his back.
"Ugh!" Vegeta spat out a mouthful of blood.
Son Goku had rammed his knee into Vegeta's back, sending them crashing straight into a mountain.
"Gohan, are they really going to be okay fighting like this?"
Bulma watched the heart-stopping scene from close by.
She instinctively grabbed Son Gohan's arm, looking for a little reassurance.
Their fight was terrifying.
It was as if gods and demons from the heavens were battling.
If they kept going like this, they might destroy the whole planet.
"They'll be fine. They know their limits, and besides, I'm here."
"Just relax and enjoy the fight."
Son Gohan spoke with confidence.
Even if Planet Namek exploded, he could get everyone out of there with Instant Transmission.
Besides, he wouldn't let anything like that happen.
"Damn it, Kakarot! I'm going all out!"
"Flash Cannon!"
Vegeta flew into a rage. A powerful aura burst from his body, and a white aura wrapped around him.
He flew into the sky to face Son Goku, spread his arms wide, and unleashed an immense wave of energy.
"Kamehameha!"
Seeing this, Son Goku decisively used his signature move as well.
Brilliant light flared between his palms.
The rocks on the ground began to float.
Boom!
Two massive beams of energy collided in an instant.
A shock wave swept across the entire battlefield.
Sand and stones flew over the ground, as if a typhoon with winds of over 100 miles per hour had blown in.
Son Gohan had already formed a Force Field, protecting everyone from the blast.
"A-amazing."
Krillin watched the enormous clash of energy from close by.
He couldn't help swallowing several times.
If Son Gohan's Force Field hadn't protected them, the shock wave would have blown them away by now.
"Kakarot, I won't lose to a Low-Class Warrior like you."
"I'm the Saiyan Prince, a genius warrior."
Vegeta poured everything he had into his attack, squeezing out the last of his Battle Power.
He had already lost once on Earth. No matter what, this time he had to restore the dignity of his princely title.
"Vegeta, keep dreaming. Break!"
Son Goku also unleashed all the energy in his body.
Even without the boost from Kaio-ken, he was going to defeat Vegeta.
He hadn't forgotten the promise he had made to Krillin on Earth.
When Vegeta invaded Earth, Son Gohan had beaten him so badly he could barely function.
But Son Goku had let him go on a whim, and had promised Krillin that the next time he saw Vegeta, he would definitely defeat him.
The Kamehameha forced the energy of the Flash Cannon back.
"Damn it!"
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, Vegeta was struck by the Kamehameha and exploded in midair.
Thick smoke billowed across the sky.
Pick Up All.
Son Gohan murmured to himself.
Battle Power attribute points poured into his body.
The Battle Power in his personal stats reached thirty-two million.
He hadn't expected the two of them to contribute two million Battle Power.
A gust of wind blew, and once the smoke had cleared,
Vegeta's figure appeared. His Battle Suit was torn to shreds, leaving him looking as ragged as a beggar.
Both men panted heavily in the air. In the end, Vegeta had fallen just short and lost the fight.
