Piccolo could clearly feel Frieza's power. "Damn it! Your speed is impressive, but mine is even faster. You'll never catch me!" Piccolo sped forward, but when he looked back, Frieza was already standing right in front of him.
Frieza taunted him. "Well, it's been a long time. You got here pretty fast." Piccolo couldn't take any more of Frieza's provocation and swung at him, but it was like a three-year-old trying to hit an adult.
There was no comparison between their speed. Frieza took advantage of Piccolo's attack and kicked him in the direction he'd swung. Then Frieza kicked him more than a dozen times in a row.
"The game's over. It's a shame that the speed you were so proud of is completely useless against me now. You should understand by now. It's about time you gave up." Frieza tapped Piccolo's leg with a finger, sending a beam of light at him.
Frieza had only tapped him once, and at first Piccolo didn't think much of it. But then Frieza tapped his chest, struck his shoulder, and sped up more than tenfold, raining blows down on him.
Every attack hit hard. Vegeta, Tien Shinhan, and the others watched Piccolo take the beating, feeling helpless. "That speed is incredible. He can't even dodge."
Goku couldn't hold back any longer and charged at Frieza. Tien Shinhan couldn't stand watching either and was about to rush over, but Vegeta grabbed him.
"What are you doing, Vegeta? Why are you holding me back?" "You'd be no use over there." "But if this keeps up..." "Listen. If this continues, Frieza will kill us all. Here's what you're going to do: hurt me badly right now."
Tien Shinhan was bewildered. He couldn't figure out what Vegeta was planning. Vegeta glanced at Dende on the ground.
