Boom!
The two collided head-on, then were both knocked back. But in the next moment, they launched energy waves at each other!
Boom!
Another explosion rang out. Frieza had already appeared behind Vegeta! He drove an elbow straight toward him!
Vegeta's expression didn't change. He lowered his head and dodged Frieza's attack, then suddenly drove an elbow backward. Frieza blocked it, too!
Whoosh!
Vegeta blurred out of sight, then appeared above Frieza and fired a Ki Blast with both hands!
Whoosh!
Frieza was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he vanished and dodged the attack, reappearing beside Vegeta to kick him flying!
Their movements were impossible to follow. It all happened in a matter of seconds!
Krillin and the others watched with grave expressions, both amazed by their opponents' strength and secretly holding their breath.
Boom!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Vegeta unleashed a burst of energy and shot into the sky. He looked at Frieza and gave a cold snort.
Frieza's face twisted into a savage grin. He crossed his hands, red light flickering at every fingertip!
"Take this!" Frieza sneered, then thrust his fingers toward Vegeta. In an instant, ten red beams shot out. They appeared at just the right moment, completely blocking Vegeta's paths of escape!
Cold sweat slid down Vegeta's face. He gritted his teeth and thrust out several palms! Ki Blasts exploded all around him, then detonated in the next instant. At the same time, Vegeta unleashed a burst of energy. A blue pillar of light shot out of the smoke as he leaped into the air, then charged straight at Frieza!
But Frieza flashed a strange smile. "I've been waiting for you!"
He suddenly spread his hand toward Vegeta!
Boom!
A Ki Blast packed with terrifying power shot out in an instant!
Vegeta's expression changed. With no time to dodge, he could only raise an arm to block it!
Boom!
The next moment, Vegeta plummeted toward the ground. Frieza had no intention of letting him go. He shot toward Vegeta's falling form!
In an instant, Frieza kicked Vegeta in the back, sending him hurtling downward even faster! He crashed into the sea, kicking up a spray of water!
But with an angry shout, Vegeta burst back out of the water. He glared at Frieza, then gritted his teeth and gathered his energy. "Final Flash!!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
His terrifying ki flared again, gathering into a powerful force in Vegeta's hands!
Frieza's expression changed. A grave look came over his face, and then he snarled, "Then bring it on!!"
With a flash!
Frieza, too, began gathering a terrifying force. Golden ki coalesced in his hand, radiating a dreadful aura!
"Frieza! You're dead!" Vegeta roared as he unleashed his ultimate attack. A massive energy wave surged downward!
Frieza sneered. "Oh-ho-ho-ho! Bloom, my beautiful fireworks!!"
Boom!
In an instant, he thrust out his hand and fired a terrifying golden beam!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The two energies collided and locked in a deadlock!
But the surrounding area couldn't withstand their power. Everything around them began to crumble!
Goku and the others watched with grave expressions. Goku sighed. "Frieza really has grown this powerful, hasn't he?"
Nearby, Luya watched the battle and considered stepping in to finish Frieza off. If he took Frieza out, his mission would be complete!
"Those two are so strong!" Gohan exclaimed. As a Saiyan, he felt his blood stirring. If he'd kept up his training all these years, perhaps he could have reached their level, too!
At the thought, Gohan's expression grew determined. Looks like I can't slack off anymore!
"We can't let them keep fighting like this, or they'll destroy the Earth!" Goku said gravely. The next moment, he powered up and shouted as a terrifying force erupted from him. Then he transformed into Super Saiyan Blue!
"G...Goku..."
"Dad..."
Krillin and the others stared at Goku in delight. So Goku could transform, too!
Goku nodded, then suddenly vanished. The next moment, he appeared between the two energy waves. He raised his ki to its peak and unleashed his ultimate move!
"Ka...me...ha...me..."
"Haaa!!"
Boom!!!
Goku used the Kamehameha to push both attacks away from Earth!
The battle came to a halt. Frieza and Vegeta were both somewhat drained.
But it was clear that Frieza was in worse shape...
"Kakarot! What are you doing?!" Vegeta glared at Goku, furious that he'd interfered in the fight.
Goku replied helplessly, "If you keep fighting like this, there won't be an Earth left!"
Vegeta snorted and turned his head away arrogantly. "Who cares if it gets destroyed?"
Goku was speechless. "You've got a family now. You should feel at least a little attachment to this place."
Vegeta's face turned green. "Shut up! Kakarot, you've got three seconds! Move! My fight with Frieza isn't over!"
Goku hesitated, then said seriously, "I think it's my turn to step in!"
"What did you say?!" Vegeta's expression instantly darkened.
Goku laughed. "You've already used up a lot of your energy, and you can't beat this guy. Let me handle it! I've found his weakness!"
"What?!" Vegeta seethed. "You're saying I can't beat him? What a joke!"
"Oh? A weakness? You're saying I have a weakness? Oh-ho-ho! Sun Wukong, you're ridiculous! How could I, Frieza, possibly have a weakness?!" Frieza cut in, his face dark with indignation.
"It's your stamina!" Luya suddenly said.
Everyone froze at his words.
Luya smiled faintly, secretly delighted. Damn, it's my time to show off!
"So you noticed, too? You're quite impressive!" Goku said, looking at Luya with admiration.
Luya modestly replied, "I'm just being low-key!"
"Enough nonsense! The weakness you're talking about doesn't exist!" Frieza snarled.
Goku looked at him and smiled. "If that's the case, then fight me!"
Frieza clenched his fists and glared at Goku.
"Kakarot, are you going back on your word? Didn't you say I could handle this?" Vegeta suddenly said in a low voice.
Goku scratched his head. "When did I say that? You've been fighting for ages. Why not take a short break and let me beat him?"
"Like hell! Absolutely not!!" Vegeta roared.
Goku shrugged, then looked at Frieza and asked with a smile, "Hey, Frieza! Do you want to fight me?"
Frieza: "..."
Vegeta: "..."
