Frieza and Son Goku

"You, Frieza!"

Son Goku clenched his fists and glared at him furiously.

Vegeta's vision grew increasingly blurred, yet his eyes remained fixed on Son Goku and Son Gohan in the distance. The Super Saiyan he had never been able to forget was practically an obsession of his.

"Ka... Kakarot, you are the Legendary Super Saiyan. I... I believe that as long as you cast aside your naivety and harden your heart, you bastard... you'll definitely become a Super Saiyan! Cough, cough..."

"Kakarot, you heard it just now too. The Planet Vegeta where we were born was destroyed by Frieza."

Tears streamed down Vegeta's face. The resentment, despair, and heart-wrenching pain made it nearly impossible for him to accept everything. His tears soaked into the dust on the ground.

"We Saiyans always served under his orders... working ourselves to death. Apart from us, everyone else was killed, including your father and my royal father. Frieza, he... he was afraid that a Super Saiyan would truly be born..."

Vegeta's voice carried a hint of sobbing. As though trying to grasp onto something, he looked at Son Goku with tears in his eyes. "Please, de... defeat Frieza. Please, you must defeat him... defeat Frieza..."

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Seeing Vegeta like this, Son Gohan could not bear it and was just about to save him when Frieza suddenly fired a Death Beam into Vegeta's body.

Vegeta's body turned directly into dust, leaving behind only a pool of blood.

"Ho ho ho... I nearly forgot that you have something capable of restoring you in an instant. Now then, Saiyans."

Frieza was smiling, but his gaze was filled with chilling coldness.

Son Goku looked at Frieza, his expression icy and solemn. "I am a Saiyan raised on Earth. Vegeta, lend me some of your pride. I came here from Earth, and for those Namekians you killed, I will defeat you! Frieza..."

Son Goku leaped forward, flickering through space as he collided with Frieza. Their fists and kicks clashed without the slightest mercy. Every punch and every kick carried a fierce gust of wind, as if capable of piercing straight through.

"Hyaa..."

Energy Blasts flew and collided with one another. Cracks spread across the mountains and ground, while dense, ceaseless sounds of battle rang through the air.

"I can't see them... I can't see anything at all. Is this Son Goku's power now?"

Piccolo could no longer see Frieza or Son Goku. Even his senses could only catch blurry afterimages. At this moment, Son Gohan could barely make out Son Goku and Frieza as well.

In the midst of battle, a red aura gathered around Son Goku, only to fade away in an instant. Son Goku had already activated the Tenfold Kaioken to fight Frieza, but even so, he naturally could not hold him off.

"Ho ho ho... What's wrong, Saiyan? Is this all you can do?"

Frieza's gaze blazed as two red beams struck Son Goku's palms, while his fist slammed brutally into Son Goku's abdomen.

"Gah..."

Son Goku endured the pain and gathered the Tenfold Kaioken once more, striking back at Frieza's head.

Frieza's face nearly twisted out of shape, and he looked somewhat disheveled. His tail moved flexibly like a whip as it lashed toward Son Goku.

Son Goku raised his arm, and Frieza's tail struck his wrist, sending intense pain through him!

"Yah!"

His aura surged. Centered on Son Goku, everything within several hundred miles shattered beneath the force of his eruption, kicking up a violent cloud of dust.

Frieza spun through the air like a top before landing steadily on the ground. He quickly raised his head, his gaze blazing as two red beams shot from his eyes into the dust.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Frieza's eye beams kept streaking past him from all directions. Their erratic firing pattern left Son Goku stunned.

"So that's it. This guy can't sense energy!"

"Hm!"

Son Goku turned around, and Frieza flew behind him, exposing himself to Frieza's line of sight.

"Yaaah..."

Frieza shouted loudly, raising his palm high. A massive Energy Blast several hundred meters wide formed and was hurled at Son Goku.

Whoosh!

Son Goku leaped into the air, gathering an Energy Blast before hurling it back at Frieza!

Just as the Energy Blast was about to reach Frieza, Frieza waved his hand and knocked it aside.

Rumble...

Son Goku's and Frieza's Energy Blasts collided against the distant mountains and ground. Frieza's Energy Blast exploded, changing the color of the heavens and earth as all of Namek was illuminated crimson!

Frieza and Son Goku landed steadily on the ground, staring fixedly at each other. Their surroundings had already become utter ruin, with scarcely an inch of intact land left!

Son Gohan and Piccolo in the distance were completely dumbfounded. Son Goku and Frieza's battle was now entirely beyond anything they could approach.

A bead of cold sweat formed on Piccolo's forehead. "I didn't expect that even after the Grand Elder unlocked my potential, I still wouldn't be Frieza's match."

Son Gohan looked ahead worriedly and murmured softly, "Dad!"

Piccolo clenched his fists unwillingly. "Wuling, isn't Wuling done yet?"

"He's really strong. Even the Tenfold Kaioken isn't enough to defeat him!" Son Goku smiled. Even though he was at a disadvantage, he showed no sign of discouragement. The boiling passion within him only made him yearn to fight Frieza even more.

At this moment, Son Wuling was still undergoing the Grand Elder's potential unlocking.

"Hm, Vegeta's energy has disappeared. I didn't expect him to die after all."

"Even Goku's Tenfold Kaioken isn't enough?"

The earthquake-like tremors shaking Namek naturally put Videl and Nail on alert as well!

"Grand Elder, isn't it done yet?"

Son Wuling was already growing anxious and asked.

The Grand Elder shook his head. "The Natural Energy within you is greater than that of the others. It will be done soon. Wait a little longer."

"Hm!"

Son Wuling steadied his emotions and calmly controlled his power.

The energy within him swelled more and more. His strength was increasing rapidly, and he could already feel that his energy had surpassed Son Gohan's and Son Goku's. Yet it still did not stop, continuing to rise steadily without any sign of slowing down.

Son Goku and Frieza stared at each other.

Frieza said, "Ho ho ho... Saiyan, Son Goku, I'm rather surprised. You're even stronger than I imagined, but you cannot defeat me!"

Son Goku's expression did not change. "Perhaps. But the victor has yet to be decided!"

"Ho ho ho... I know, I know..."

With a perfunctory and unconcerned air, Frieza's gaze blazed as a ripple of energy formed between his brows.

Whoosh! Bang!

Son Goku had remained on guard against Frieza. The instant the attack paused, he swiftly flew above Frieza's head.

"This is payback..."

Using the same move Frieza had used earlier, he struck Frieza directly and sent him plummeting toward the seabed. As Frieza was about to fall into the ocean, his energy surged, and the impact of his aura raised a vortex across the sea's surface.

Rumble...

The seawater boiled violently, churning abnormally like a tsunami!
