"Honestly, what a bunch of idiots. Do they have any brains? With skills like theirs, how could they possibly beat the Ginyu Force?"
Vegeta hid behind a boulder and sighed helplessly.
He had once been a member of the Frieza Army.
He knew all too well how terrifying the Ginyu Force was. Only Goku and Piccolo could reliably keep them in check.
The others were clearly like ants trying to stop a chariot—way out of their league.
"But this works out nicely. Everyone's distracted by the fight."
"That guy definitely won't be on guard. I'll send you on your way, then!"
Vegeta looked toward King Cold, silently calculating his next move.
As always, he had complete confidence in his own strength.
If he could land a hit, the old man was as good as dead.
With that thought,
Vegeta sprang into action.
In a flash, he leaped straight in front of King Cold.
"Ha! Da-da-da!"
Golden light surged in Vegeta's hands.
Countless Energy Balls hurtled toward King Cold.
Each golden orb was packed with wild, explosive energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A succession of explosions filled the air.
Some of the soldiers nearby didn't even have time to scream before they were blown to pieces.
King Cold was instantly swallowed by the flames of the explosions.
In moments, thick smoke billowed everywhere, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
"Great! I got him!"
Vegeta clenched his fists and stopped attacking. A look of disdain spread across his face.
"What?"
The others heard the repeated explosions.
They kept turning to look.
"Vegeta! So it was you, you traitor!"
Seeing what had happened, Captain Ginyu shouted furiously at Vegeta.
He wanted nothing more than to rush over and kill the traitor himself.
Unfortunately, he was up against Goku, whose strength left him no time to worry about anything else.
"Tch. So what if he's Frieza's father? It's his honor to die at the hands of this prince!"
Vegeta spoke contemptuously, his eyes full of pride.
He seemed thrilled to have killed King Cold with his own hands.
"You insignificant insect. You dare attack me by surprise? You've got nerve!"
A frigid voice came from within the smoke.
Soon, the smoke cleared, and King Cold's massive body appeared before them once more.
It seemed Vegeta's Prince's Fighting Style had failed again.
King Cold looked furious. In all his years, he had never encountered anyone who dared take the initiative to attack him.
The fool must have a death wish!
"Honestly, that idiot is all talk and no results!"
Piccolo looked at Vegeta's shocked expression and shook his head helplessly.
That was Frieza's father.
His strength was certainly no less than Frieza's—possibly even greater.
How could Vegeta have taken him down so easily?
"Damn it! I miscalculated. He's completely unharmed? You've got to be kidding me!"
Vegeta looked panicked.
The muscles in his face began to twitch.
"When you do something wrong, you have to accept the consequences. Do you agree?"
King Cold spoke in a frigid tone.
Then his body vanished from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Vegeta.
Whoosh!
The next moment, King Cold's tail lashed out like a whip.
It struck Vegeta across the face.
"Ah!"
Vegeta cried out as his body was flung to the ground.
A bright red streak appeared across his cheek.
Blood poured from his mouth.
Several teeth had been knocked out, and he instantly lost the ability to fight.
"Damn it!"
Goku watched and growled in anger.
"Ha! Hah!"
"Kaio-ken x3!"
Goku decided to stop holding back and give everything he had to end the battle.
Ginyu was stunned by the sudden burst of power from Goku.
Before he could react, a sharp pain suddenly flared in his chest.
Goku's fist slammed straight into it.
Ginyu spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
He crashed heavily to the ground, losing the ability to fight on the spot.
Seeing that Goku had already taken down one enemy, the people of Earth were greatly encouraged.
To protect the planet, they all gave the fight everything they had.
They unleashed every trick and technique they had!
West City, Capsule Corp.
Ji Yun was having a hard time too. The sweat on his face said it all: this battle was grueling.
He was giving it everything he had.
The situation had reached a boiling point.
Ji Yun put everything into it, his attacks growing fiercer as he prepared for the final push.
Bulma, on the other hand, was struggling to keep up and was being driven back step by step.
Out at sea, the waves rose and fell, surging violently as they pounded the shore.
Suddenly, the water burst forth and swept across the entire land!
"Oh!"
"Ah!"
With two strange cries,
Ji Yun stopped his assault. The water settled, and the air was left carrying the scent of the sea.
"Bulma, I have to go. Goku's in a bit of a bind!"
"I'll come back and keep you company later!"
Ji Yun gave Bulma a gentle kiss.
Then, sensing Goku's energy, he used Instant Transmission.
He vanished on the spot and rushed to the next battlefield.
Huh? Men!
"So you're just leaving me here all alone!"
Bulma pouted and grumbled.
But she didn't make a big deal out of it. Ji Yun had left in such a hurry.
Maybe Goku and the others really were in trouble.
She was a little tired herself, and the flush on her face hadn't yet faded.
After changing the bedsheets, she went straight to sleep.
Meanwhile, on the other battlefield,
with Goku's help, the Ginyu Force was defeated one member at a time.
They all fell to the ground, unable to fight.
"Oh? Not bad!"
King Cold looked at Goku and the others in surprise.
He clearly hadn't expected them to beat the Ginyu Force.
"I still think you should leave while you can. Otherwise, it'll be too late. You really will die!"
Goku looked at King Cold gravely.
He had just used the Kaio-ken, and his body was already severely drained.
If he fought on, he might not survive.
King Cold looked over them with contempt.
At the same time, his powerful tail struck Vegeta, who was lying on the ground, once more.
"Ah!"
Vegeta, covered in wounds, screamed in agony.
"I'll die? You think you lot can kill me?"
King Cold sneered at Goku and the others.
While Goku and the others had been fighting, he had crushed every bone in Vegeta's body.
He wanted to show those fools what happened when insects dared to challenge a king.
"Uh, sorry to interrupt. I think what Goku said was complete nonsense." Ji Yun suddenly appeared behind King Cold and patted him on the shoulder. Smiling at him, he continued, "Because whether you leave or not, you're going to die now!"
