Frieza and Son Goku

"You, Frieza!"

Son Goku clenched his fists and glared at him furiously.

Vegeta's vision grew increasingly blurry, but his gaze remained fixed on Son Goku in the distance. Son Gohan, the Super Saiyan he had never been able to forget—it had practically become an obsession of his.

"K-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. Planet Vegeta, where we were born, was destroyed by Frieza."

Tears streamed down Vegeta's face. The unwillingness, the despair, that heart-wrenching pain made it almost impossible for him to accept everything. His tears soaked into the dirt.

"We Saiyans always carried out his orders... worked ourselves to death. Other than us, everyone was killed, including your father and my father, the king. Frieza, he... he was afraid that a Super Saiyan would truly be born..."

Vegeta's voice carried a sobbing note. As though trying to grasp at something, he looked at Son Goku with tears in his eyes. "Please, d-defeat Frieza. Please, you have to defeat him, defeat Frieza..."

Blood trickled 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 a pool of blood.

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

Frieza was smiling, but his eyes were filled with icy coldness.

Son Goku looked at Frieza, his expression cold and grave. "I'm a Saiyan raised on Earth. Vegeta, share some of your pride with me. I came here from Earth for the Namekians you killed. I will defeat you, Frieza..."

Son Goku leaped forward, flickering through the air in an instant as he collided with Frieza. Their fists and kicks met without the slightest mercy, every punch and every kick carrying a fierce gale as though it could pierce straight through.

"Haaah..."

Energy Blasts were launched and collided with one another. Cracks spread across the mountains and ground, while a dense, ceaseless roar of combat filled the air.

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

Piccolo could no longer make out Frieza or Son Goku. Even his senses could only catch blurry afterimages. Son Gohan could barely see Son Goku and Frieza at this point.

During the battle, red energy gathered around Son Goku's body before instantly fading away. 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 that all you can do?"

Frieza's eyes blazed as two red beams struck Son Goku's palms, followed by a fist slamming viciously into Son Goku's abdomen.

"Waaah..."

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 his body looked somewhat disheveled. His tail moved like a whip, lashing flexibly 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, the land for hundreds of miles around him shattered under the impact of his eruption, kicking up a violent cloud of dust.

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

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Frieza's Eye Lasers kept streaking past him. Their erratic pattern caught Son Goku off guard.

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

"Hm!"

Son Goku turned around, and Frieza flew behind him, placing himself directly within Frieza's line of sight.

"Yaaah..."

Frieza shouted loudly and raised his palm high. A massive Energy Blast hundreds of meters wide formed and was hurled toward Son Goku.

Whoosh!

Son Goku sprang into the air, forming an Energy Blast and throwing it back at Frieza in retaliation!

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

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 heaven and earth as all of Namek was illuminated crimson!

Frieza and Son Goku landed steadily on the ground, staring at each other. Their surroundings were already a complete mess, with scarcely an inch of intact land left!

In the distance, Son Gohan and Piccolo were utterly stunned. The battle between Son Goku and Frieza was now completely beyond anything they could approach.

A bead of cold sweat formed on Piccolo's forehead. "I never thought 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 heat in his blood only made him crave battle with Frieza even more.

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

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

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

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

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

Son Wuling was becoming anxious and asked.

The Grand Elder shook his head. "You possess more Natural Energy than the others. It will be done soon. Wait a little longer."

"Hm!"

Son Wuling calmed his emotions and steadily controlled his power.

The ki around him continued to swell, and his strength was increasing rapidly. He could already feel that his ki had surpassed Son Gohan's and Son Goku's, yet it still did not stop. It continued rising steadily, showing no sign of slowing down.

Son Goku and Frieza stared at one another.

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

Son Goku's expression remained unchanged. "Perhaps, but the winner has not yet been decided!"

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

With a perfunctory, unconcerned air, Frieza's eyes blazed as a ripple of ki gathered between his brows.

Whoosh! Bang!

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

"This is payback..."

Using the same move Frieza had used moments earlier, he struck Frieza directly in the body. Just as Frieza was about to fall into the sea, his aura surged, and the impact of his power stirred a whirlpool across the ocean's surface.

Rumble...

The seawater boiled violently, surging abnormally like a tsunami!
