Beerus' Planet!
"Whis, I haven't slept enough yet! I'd just started dreaming about something, and you woke me up! Why'd you get me out of bed?!"
Lord Beerus snapped, furious.
"Heh heh! Lord Beerus, some interesting things have been happening in the Seventh Universe lately. I think you'll be interested!"
Whis didn't seem bothered by Lord Beerus' anger at all.
"Oh? If even you think it's interesting, then I'll have to go take a look! Get things ready for me!"
Lord Beerus rolled over and sprang to his feet.
"Yes, Lord Beerus! The hot water is ready. Have a bath first, then get something to eat," Whis said calmly.
"Mm! Ah, I'm so sleepy. I didn't get enough sleep!"
Beerus stumbled drowsily toward the bath.
Namek!
"Why, you wild monkey! You're asking for death!" Frieza roared.
He hadn't expected Raditz to dare treat him like that!
Since when had the Saiyans, who used to act like his dogs, dared to betray him?
Frieza couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes!
"Frieza! Prepare to die!" Seeing Frieza emerge, Raditz charged at him again.
"Death Beam!" Frieza raised his palm and fired a Death Beam from his fingertip at the charging Raditz!
"Not good!" A sense of unease surged through Raditz. He dodged the Death Beam with all his might!
The Death Beam was a signature technique of the Frieza Race! Its piercing power was immense. Even an opponent a whole level stronger could have their body pierced if they let their guard down!
Though Raditz realized the danger and tried with all his might to dodge the beam, the instant Death Beam still pierced his right shoulder!
A thumb-sized hole appeared in Raditz's shoulder!
"Damn it. I let my guard down!" Raditz grumbled.
But the wound hadn't hit anything vital. A minor injury like that didn't affect his fighting strength in the slightest!
"Wild monkey, tell me: how did your fighting strength become so great in just a few months?" Frieza asked, astonished.
"Tch. Shorty, wanna know? Find out for yourself!"
Raditz certainly knew how to twist the knife!
"You called me shorty? I was going to recruit you, but you've gone too far!" Frieza raged.
His height had always been a sore point! King Cold and Cooler were both taller than him!
Frieza flared his ki, shattering his armor.
A powerful, wild, and evil aura poured from his body!
"Grr... Aah!"
His face twisted into a savage grimace as his body grew taller and taller. The two horns on his head curved upward.
He transformed, entering his first form!
He grew to a full two meters tall!
"Wild monkey, am I still short?" Frieza roared.
"Enough talk. Fight!" Raditz unleashed all of his normal-form fighting strength as well!
Unbeknownst to him, Frieza's fighting strength had already reached one million!
"Raditz is in trouble!" Sun Wukong realized something was wrong.
"Kakarot, don't worry. He hasn't used the King Kai Fist yet. Even if he can't win, he should still be able to protect himself!" Nappa stepped forward and said.
Clang!
As they spoke, Raditz and Frieza exchanged their first blows!
Raditz swung a vicious roundhouse kick at Frieza's head!
Frieza raised his left arm to block. Raditz felt as if he'd kicked a steel plate!
Bam! Bam! Bam!!!
The two of them launched into hand-to-hand combat!
In the sky, on the ground, in every direction!
A vast area became their battlefield!
Fist met fist, elbow met elbow. Frieza blocked every one of Raditz's strikes with pinpoint precision!
"Raditz's ki is starting to drop!" Krillin said gravely.
"Raditz, come back! You've done enough!" Nappa shouted.
Seeing his attacks have no effect, Raditz grew even angrier!
"King Kai Fist!" The aura around his body turned red, and his fighting strength instantly doubled to one million!
The sudden surge made him faster than Frieza. In a flash, he landed a vicious blow on Frieza's lower back!
"Frieza!" Raditz gathered terrifying energy in his right palm!
A blue sphere of light enveloped his right hand. He braced his left hand against his right arm, pouring all his energy into the attack!
"This is my father's signature move! Prepare to die, Ultimate Destruction Sphere!"
The fully charged Ultimate Destruction Sphere burst forth, its tremendous recoil making Raditz's body sway!
The blinding blue beam shot toward Frieza as he crashed toward the ground!
Rumble!!!
Namek trembled. A vast chasm opened in the ground, and a faint red glow of heat could be seen deep within it!
Raditz's strongest attack had pierced the planet's surface, exposing the lava!
"Huff!" Raditz gasped for breath.
"Great, it worked! Even Frieza can't withstand the heat of lava!" Nappa exclaimed, overjoyed.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw Sun Wukong, Piccolo, and the others staring expressionlessly toward another spot!
Nappa followed their gaze. His pupils shrank in an instant.
"Frieza... When did he get over there?" Nappa asked in shock.
"The moment Raditz's Ki Blast hit, he suddenly accelerated and dodged it, moving three times faster than the blast," Sun Wukong explained.
"Raditz, watch out above you!" Sun Wukong suddenly shouted.
"What?" Raditz looked up. Another Death Beam shot straight toward his face!
"King Kai Fist, tenfold!"
Whoosh! Swish! Smack!
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Raditz, and the Death Beam was slapped apart!
The instant it dispersed, Sun Wukong released the King Kai Fist!
"Big brother, go down. You're no match for him," Sun Wukong said calmly.
"All right, Kakarot. I'll leave him to you!" Raditz slowly flew toward Nappa.
"Don't think you can run!" Frieza had just escaped danger. How could he let Raditz go so easily?
His massive body shot toward Raditz at tremendous speed!
Whoosh!
"Your opponent is me!" Sun Wukong moved at high speed and appeared right in front of Frieza!
"Hm? That face looks familiar..." Seeing Sun Wukong's unusual hairstyle, Frieza was suddenly overcome by a sense of recognition!
"It's you? No, you must be his son!" At last, he remembered Bardock, who had fought desperately to stop him when he destroyed Planet Vegeta.
"Frieza, Namek isn't a place where you can do whatever you want!" Sun Wukong said.
"Bah. Wild monkey, I should've wiped out all of you Saiyans back then! But it's not too late now! Heh heh heh! This time, I'll exterminate your entire race!"
"You still haven't used your full strength, have you?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Haha. You're not so simple yourself, wild monkey. When you blocked the Death Beam just now, your burst of speed far surpassed Raditz's. Even my first form wasn't faster than you!" Frieza wasn't a fool. He could tell Sun Wukong was no ordinary fighter.
"First form? I knew it. You still haven't used your full strength!" Sun Wukong had caught the important point.
"Heh heh, interesting. Very interesting... Then let's stop holding back. I'll show you why I, Frieza, rule the universe!"
Frieza retreated a hundred meters, then transformed into his final form! A terrifying, evil, powerful, and savage purple aura poured from his body!
"He's so strong... I wonder if a Turtle School Ki Attack boosted by the tenfold King Kai Fist can defeat him!" Sun Wukong's fighting spirit was impossible to suppress, and his expression grew more and more excited.
His body trembled uncontrollably. That was how excited he was!
High in the sky!
"Your father's control over ki was absolutely astounding!" Merus said in amazement.
"Tell me about it. I can't do what he does, switching the King Kai Fist on and off whenever he wants," Son Gohan said helplessly.
Sun Wukong's control over ki was simply incredible. He could activate and deactivate the King Kai Fist at will, keeping its energy cost extremely low!
He used it to attack, then turned it off when he wasn't attacking!
With Son Gohan's deliberate guidance, the main characters of Dragon Ball had each begun to bring out their own strengths!
