Ginyu Force Annihilation

Namek.

In the pale green sky, five figures streaked past. The Ginyu Force was heading straight for Vegeta and his group!

"Stop... It seems we have some entertainment ahead of us!" Vegeta sneered.

The group slowed their speed and hovered in mid-air.

"Vegeta, those ki signatures flying toward us—do you recognize them?" Piccolo asked.

"Recognize them? How could I not? That is the infamous Ginyu Force of the Frieza Force. It is said they possess the fastest speed in the universe, bizarre superpowers, and immense combat power, all composed of various aliens," Vegeta explained.

"But they feel so weak. Can they really be called the best in the universe?" Goku asked, puzzled.

"That is only because you are now many times stronger than you ever were! Think about it: if not for me pushing you to improve so much, would you have been confident in defeating them?" Vegeta said dismissively.

Goku gave an awkward laugh. "That's true... If you hadn't put so much pressure on me, I never would have thought to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and I never would have imagined I could reach my current level."

"Hmph. This time, aside from that captain named Ginyu who is stronger than Gohan and Krillin, the rest are not much different from them in strength. Unless it's a life-or-death situation, the three of us will not intervene. Let them fight. Having raw power without combat experience is no different from being trash," Vegeta said coldly.

"Ah... Gohan and I are going? Can we actually win?" Krillin asked, terrified.

"Uncle Krillin, aside from that one guy, the others aren't too strong. I have confidence I can beat them. If you don't believe me, try sensing their ki yourself!" Gohan's young voice said firmly.

"Don't worry, Krillin. If you can't beat them, aren't the three of us still here?" Goku comforted him.

"Hmph, don't count on us to step in. Aside from Ginyu, you two must take care of the other four! If you die, that's on you!" Vegeta threatened.

"And you, Kakarot, if you force your way into the fight, I will kill you first. Look at your son—he clearly possesses potential greater than both you and me, yet look at what you've raised him into!"

"Gohan is still young, he's not even six yet," Piccolo said, feeling protective of his godson.

"Young? At his age, This Seat had already wiped out the life on an entire planet! And him? He's still just a well-behaved child," Vegeta said. In truth, his own combat power hadn't even reached ten thousand at that age, but he had already lost all compassion. He only said this to push Gohan; after all, the "Scholar Gohan" of the future was the only regret in the hearts of Dragon Ball fans.

The group was speechless. Who could compare to a freak like him? Besides, during Earth's peaceful times, where would Gohan find battles to fight?

Swish! Swish! The Ginyu Force arrived amidst their conversation.

"Yo, Vegeta, have you already betrayed Lord Frieza? I warned him long ago that you wild monkeys couldn't be trusted and would betray him one day!" Ginyu laughed.

"Hmph, Ginyu, you aren't fighting me. Let these two play with your subordinates! You had best not move, or I fear I won't be able to stop myself from killing you," Vegeta said with disdain.

"Arrogant... Vegeta, you have a mere 18,000 in combat power, yet you talk of killing me? Who gave you the courage?" Ginyu raged.

"Captain, since we're just standing around, why not let us play with him? Don't worry, it won't take much time!" Jeice chimed in from the side.

"Fine. Decide among yourselves who goes. Finish it as quickly as possible, or if Lord Frieza gets angry, I won't be able to protect you!" Ginyu said, stepping aside.

The four of them played rock-paper-scissors. "Rock, paper, scissors..."

Guldo won first and excitedly declared, "Yay! I won. You guys don't get a chance to play!"

Having said that, he arrogantly addressed Vegeta and the others, "Come at me all at once!"

Vegeta said coldly, "Hmph, don't be so full of yourself. Get your scouter ready and take a good look at their combat power!"

Gohan and Krillin stepped forward, their bodies erupting with massive ki. The powerful shockwaves swept across the entire battlefield, causing the mountains to crumble and the earth to split. As Guldo looked at the data on his scouter, his expression shifted from initial excitement to growing terror! After all, Krillin alone was far stronger than him!

Ginyu and the others watched the scouter readings, stunned and at a loss. 20,000... 50,000...

"Hey, Recoome, you go too. Guldo can't take them both on alone. It seems we underestimated their strength!" Ginyu said.

"Captain, that's impossible! Is the scouter broken?" Jeice said in a panic, as his own combat power was only 45,000!

"Hmph, what do you know? In the infinite universe, there are many races that can freely control their combat power! I encountered such people during my early campaigns with Lord Frieza! I didn't expect them to be the same. It seems we won't be able to finish them off in a short time," Ginyu explained, while glancing at Vegeta and the others. His eyes darted around, his mind clearly hatching some evil scheme, and a sinister smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Vegeta, watching Ginyu's expression, seemed to realize something. He looked around the surroundings and, spotting a frog on a nearby hillside, also flashed a sinister, knowing smile!

Recoome walked toward the battlefield and said to Gohan, "Come, come, come... let's play!"

Recoome released his power as well. His ki shook the heavens! He had about 60,000 in combat power. Gohan sensed that his strength was on par with his own, perhaps even slightly stronger!

"Uncle Krillin, you take one, I'll take the other! Let's see who defeats their enemy first!" With that, Gohan charged toward Recoome.

Krillin sensed that the short one across from him wasn't too strong, so he relaxed and moved at high speed toward Guldo. His figure vanished in an instant!

Guldo looked around anxiously, unable to see where Krillin had gone. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and held it! He had activated his time stop. As it turned out, his superpower was that he could stop time for as long as he could hold his breath!

Seeing Krillin's fist inches from his head, cold sweat poured down his face! He ran away while holding his breath. As he ran, his breath-holding reached its limit. "Can't take it anymore... Wah!" He gasped for air.

The ability deactivated. Krillin, who had thrown a left hook into thin air, stumbled forward a few steps, confused. Where did he go? He activated his ki-sensing ability and felt Guldo's ki behind him. How? He got behind me in an instant!

"Krillin-san! He has the ability to stop time! We saw you frozen in place, and he slowly ran behind you!" Goku shouted a warning.

So that's it, Krillin thought, his resolve hardening. He hovered slowly, gathered energy at his waist, and shouted, "Kamehameha!" A blue beam of light surged toward Guldo. Guldo, unable to recover his breath in time, could only hold it again! Time stopped abruptly. Krillin, who had fired the energy blast, vanished from the air once more! Suddenly, he felt a killing intent! He turned his head to look, only to see Krillin already behind him, his fist about to strike the back of his head! Cold sweat drenched his body, and goosebumps rose all over his skin. Terrified, he scrambled away in a panic. He exhaled again.

Krillin missed once more. Watching Guldo run away, he muttered, "Damn it, he got away again!"

Guldo thought, This won't do, he's too fast! My time stop is useless aside from wasting my energy. It seems I have no choice but to use the Body Bind! Before he could react, he saw Krillin sneer and shout, "Solar Flare!"

Guldo's eyes were scorched by a blinding light, and his vision went completely white! He could only rely on his instincts to cast the Body Bind toward Krillin's position. As his vision slowly recovered, he saw Krillin was already about to charge at him.

Krillin was held fast by a strange power, unable to move. He struggled with all his might. Guldo controlled him with one hand while using his telekinesis on a nearby tree with the other, sneering, "Hmph, this is my most powerful technique: Body Bind!"

A thick log had its branches and leaves stripped away, and its tip was sharpened into a cone by Guldo. With a wave of his hand, it shot toward Krillin at high speed.

"Die, you bald-headed fool!" Guldo shouted.

Krillin was horrified. Oh no... I can't move. I'm done for!

Suddenly, a beam of yellow light struck Guldo. Before he could react, his head was obliterated by the blast! However, the tree trunk continued its momentum, hurtling toward Krillin!

Seeing the tree about to strike, Krillin's body suddenly relaxed, and he regained his mobility! He used high-speed movement to dodge the impact! Once finished, cold sweat poured down his back; had he been even a split second slower, he would have been dead!

He turned his head and said to Gohan, "Thank you, Gohan!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you little brat, are you looking down on me? You dared to split your focus to kill Guldo while fighting me? I am truly angry now," Recoome said!

In the battle between the two just now, neither had gained the upper hand, and neither had used their full strength! Seeing that Krillin was safe, Gohan said to Recoome, "Come on. Use your full power; I will definitely defeat you!"

The two exchanged blows, their mismatched bodies creating loud thuds in the air! Suddenly, Gohan's forceful punch was caught by a palm twice the size of his own. Recoome pulled him in and delivered a heavy knee strike to Gohan's abdomen! Gohan spat out blood from the powerful blow! Recoome grabbed Gohan's head with his other hand and mocked, "Hey, hey, hey, don't die on me yet. I haven't had my fill of fun!" As he spoke, he punched Gohan's stomach repeatedly, causing the boy to scream in agony! "Ah!"

Recoome only grew more excited and forceful the more he heard those screams!

Piccolo, watching from the sidelines, could barely hold himself back any longer.

Goku calmly explained, "Don't worry, Piccolo. Gohan's ki hasn't dropped."

Concern breeds confusion! Hearing Goku's explanation, Piccolo felt his heart ease slightly.

Suddenly, Gohan opened his eyes and released an energy wave from his hands, striking Recoome in the face! Recoome was blinded by the attack and his grip loosened, letting Gohan go. Seizing the opportunity, Gohan unleashed his full power, raining punches down on Recoome's stomach! Struck by the double assault, Recoome stumbled back repeatedly. Just as he opened his eyes, Gohan flew in and kicked him in the side of the face! Recoome flew sideways, crashed to the ground, and didn't get back up!

Gohan turned his head to look at Ginyu and the others and said, "Take your companion and flee! He is no longer capable of fighting!"

Vegeta wore an expression of annoyance. "That brat, he's being careless again! Such hypocritical mercy."

Ginyu smirked wickedly. "Look behind you before you spout such nonsense!"

Gohan hurriedly turned around! He saw that Recoome had already gathered a ki blast in his mouth! The moment Gohan turned, the blast was fired! Gohan stared at the incoming beam, his heart filled with shock. "Oh no, I can't dodge it!"

Just then, Goku's figure slowly vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already holding Gohan, having escaped! The beam streaked past toward its original trajectory; in the distance, a massive mountain instantly vanished into nothingness, the sea surged backward, and the planet trembled!

"Hey, hey, hey... we agreed on a one-on-one. Why does someone always have to interfere?!" Recoome complained unhappily!

"Dad, Uncle Vegeta, Uncle Piccolo, I'm sorry, I let you down!" Gohan said sheepishly!

"Hmph, I told you that your kindness would be the death of you!" Vegeta scolded!

"Alright, stop playing around, the objective has been achieved! Kakarot, you go. Remember, don't play around; they won't help you improve much! End the fight quickly!" Vegeta commanded!

"Alright! I'm going." Goku walked toward the battlefield.

"Hey, none of you are my match, so you'd better just go back! Don't throw your lives away! I'm giving you a chance! If Vegeta goes, not a single one of you will make it out alive," Goku said to Ginyu and the others.

"Jeice, Burter, go together! I estimate his combat power is only between 50,000 and 80,000! If the three of you attack together, you still have a chance!" Ginyu said.

"Yes, Captain Ginyu!" Jeice and Burter replied.

The three formed a triangle around Goku, releasing their full aura!

"You still won't listen to reason? Then I have no choice!" Goku said lightly!

Burter and Jeice didn't waste words; one vanished and rushed toward Goku at high speed, while the other gathered a ki ball in his palm and threw it, controlling it like Yamcha's Spirit Ball as he charged at Goku!

Recoome charged at Goku head-on! All three launched their attacks simultaneously! Goku's eyes narrowed slightly, and he moved with speed invisible to the average person, stepping forward and striking Recoome with an elbow. Recoome collapsed to the ground, breathless!

After downing Recoome, Goku turned slightly to dodge the ki ball Jeice had fired. The blast flew toward Burter's head. Burter's prideful speed came to an abrupt halt, and he retracted his head into his chest like a turtle! The ki ball grazed the edge of his armor! Burter poked his head out and shouted in shock, "Hey, Jeice, are you trying to kill me?!"

"Sorry, he's too fast! Damn it, curse him!" With that, he stopped using ki blasts and charged at Goku, ready for hand-to-hand combat!

The two rushed at Goku, one delivering a high kick and the other a punch, both of which were blocked by Goku's arms and legs! Goku performed a sweep kick and turned to unleash an invisible shockwave! Both were sent flying! The rubble behind them was shattered by their bodies! Goku then gathered a blue ki blast in one hand and fired it at Burter. Burter couldn't dodge and was struck to the ground! His body began to steam, and he was no longer breathing. Seeing this, Jeice flew to Ginyu's side in terror, having lost all confidence in the fight!

Ginyu cursed, "All useless trash! I have to do it myself! Jeice, go report the situation here to Lord Frieza! I'll hold him off."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeice fled toward Frieza's direction! Suddenly, a beam of light struck him; the terrifying speed left Jeice with no chance to dodge! He was instantly reduced to ashes!

Ginyu looked closely and saw it was Vegeta!!!

Vegeta laughed mockingly, "A team must be kept neat and tidy. If you're going to die, you should die together! Hahaha!" The wicked laughter filled the entire battlefield! Everyone was shocked by his actions! Krillin and Gohan secretly wondered if he had reverted to his evil nature!

"Damn it, they're all dead. Now I'll have to choreograph new dance moves for the new members!" Ginyu thought dismissively!

Perhaps only you care about such disgusting dance moves!

"Saiyan, I have a combat power of 120,000. I estimate yours is at most 90,000!" Ginyu asked Goku.

"Oh, I don't really know about this 'combat power' you speak of. Why don't you check your machine and see for yourself?" With that, he unleashed one-fifth of his full power.

"80,000... 90,000... 100,000... 150,000..." Ginyu watched the Saiyan before him, growing more and more terrified! Suddenly, with a bang, the scouter exploded, shattered by Goku's immense power! It could no longer detect him, but Ginyu could still feel the aura continuing to rise.

Suddenly, Ginyu burst into laughter, looking at Goku with a wicked grin, growing increasingly delighted! He secretly rejoiced, Such a powerful body... it will be mine!

Gohan and the others looked at Ginyu in confusion, not understanding why he was laughing. Did he not realize the gap in their strength?

Only Vegeta wore a wicked smirk! He turned and moved at high speed, returning a moment later with a creature resembling an Earth frog in his hand!

The others looked at Vegeta in bewilderment, not understanding what he was doing!

"Saiyan, you are indeed strong, but... your body belongs to me! Body Change..." Ginyu's body erupted with a powerful, strange energy, pinning Goku in place! A yellow beam shot from his mouth toward Goku!

Goku was shocked. "I was careless... what a strange technique!"

At the critical moment, Vegeta threw the frog with all his might. The frog successfully swapped bodies with Ginyu! Goku turned and vanished, dodging the beam, breaking out in a cold sweat!

Ginyu's body could be seen hopping away like a frog!

The group looked at Vegeta in confusion, waiting for an explanation!

Vegeta explained, "He has a skill called Body Change that allows him to swap souls with a designated target! If he had succeeded, you wouldn't be you anymore!"

Goku felt a shiver run down his spine at the thought of ending up in such an ugly body. Chi-Chi would definitely leave him if that happened!

It was a good thing Vegeta had stepped in when he did, or he would have been finished!

At the edge of the battlefield, a frog was stealthily trying to make its escape!

How could this happen? Ginyu wailed internally. How did Vegeta know? Even Lord Frieza doesn't know I have this technique! He figured that if Frieza had known, he would have destroyed him long ago. After all, who wouldn't be afraid of having someone like that around? One slip-up, and your body wouldn't even be your own anymore!

However, Vegeta was a Dragon Ball fan who knew the original story inside and out; he had been secretly keeping an eye out for such a bizarre ability all along!

Vegeta cast a cold glance at the fleeing Ginyu and fired a blast of energy at him with one hand. Ginyu watched the incoming energy wave, his heart sinking into despair, before he was reduced to nothingness...

The others looked at Vegeta, puzzled. "He was already in that state... was there really any need to kill him?"

Vegeta retorted, "Hmph, I said it before: a team should be kept together. If they're going to die, they should die together!"

The group was speechless!

Is he even human? He had so many excuses just for killing someone!

Vegeta wasn't about to let him off the hook. What if he ran into Bulma and she managed to build a translator? Wouldn't that just be counterproductive? ...

With the battle over, the group took flight once more, heading toward Frieza!
