Frieza's Cry for Help

Namek!

By then, Namek was already riddled with devastation. Its terrain had long since been altered by the battle between Son Goku and Frieza!

"I-I can't lose to a monkey! He's just a Saiyan, ah..."

Frieza had reached his limit. Blood flowed from his eyes and mouth, while in contrast, Son Goku was still handling the fight with ease.

Whenever Frieza tried to destroy Namek, Son Goku stopped him. This had turned the battle completely one-sided, with Son Goku utterly suppressing Frieza.

Whoosh!

Exposing an opening, Frieza was struck on the head by Son Goku and sent flying into the ground, blasting open an enormous crater.

"Ptooey..."

Frieza rose to his feet and spat out the blood in his mouth. He stared wildly at Son Goku, raised a hand, and condensed a Death Saucer!

"Ho ho ho... Saiyan, have a taste of being cut apart yourself!"

Remembering how Son Wuling had severed his tail with that enormous Destructo Disc, Frieza imitated Son Wuling and made the Death Saucer in his palm even larger. Though it could not compare to Son Wuling's, it was now a full meter in diameter!

Whoosh!

The Death Saucer tore through the air as it shot toward Son Goku!

"Heh heh..."

Son Goku was naturally no stranger to the Destructo Disc. Son Wuling loved using this move, and it had become his signature technique.

"So this is your ultimate move, Frieza..."

Son Goku flew calmly through the sky. Even with Frieza's Death Saucer pursuing him from behind, he showed no panic whatsoever. He and Son Wuling had sparred countless times, so he naturally knew the Destructo Disc's weaknesses and flaws very well.

"As long as it can kill you, it's a good move!"

Frieza used his psychic power to control the Death Saucer as it pursued Son Goku!

Bzzzt...

With the sound of the air being torn apart, Son Goku circled around and flew toward Frieza!

"Ho ho ho... Do you really think I'm an idiot? You think a trick like this can fool me, Saiyan?!"

Frieza used both hands at once. The instant Son Goku made his move, he would control the Death Saucer and turn it directly! Did Son Goku really think he would cut himself apart?

Just as Son Goku was about to reach Frieza, he placed both hands against his forehead. Under Frieza's gaze...

"Solar Flare..."

The blinding radiance made Frieza clutch his eyes in agony!

"N-No, this is bad, damn it..."

As the tearing sound drew closer and closer, Frieza hurriedly flew upward!

Bang!

Son Goku drove an elbow into Frieza's head, leaving a sunken dent, then swiftly flew away.

"Waaah..."

Frieza spat out saliva mixed with blood as the one-meter-wide Death Saucer sliced him cleanly in half at the waist!

Whoosh! Bang...

Son Goku fired an Energy Wave at the Death Saucer, destroying it, then turned back to look at Frieza, who had been cut in half.

"I used this move before when I was sparring with Son Wuling. How does it feel to be hit by your own technique, Frieza?"

Son Goku was still in his Super Saiyan state, but compared to before, the initial savagery had faded. He had already mastered the power of the Super Saiyan, and even his swollen muscles had returned to normal.

"Damn monkey... You're just a Saiyan, damn it... damn it!"

Frieza's upper body slowly floated up. He glared furiously at Son Goku, clenched his fists tightly, and panted heavily.

The wind of Namek swept through Son Goku's golden hair as his green eyes stared deeply at Frieza, who had only half a body left.

"I'm done fighting..."

Frieza froze and looked at Son Goku in disbelief. "Y-You said what? N-Not fighting? What do you mean, not fighting?"

Son Goku straightened up and said, "You may have used all your power, but as time passed, you started to weaken. There's no point in continuing. Now that Wuling has been revived, my anger has faded too. And besides, you never imagined that someone in this world could surpass you..."

Son Goku gave a faint smile, his meaning clear. "And that person is a Saiyan! There's no point in fighting someone who has become afraid. From now on, just keep on living your miserable life, Frieza!"

"Y-You..."

Frieza clenched his fists. Son Goku's words hurt him more than death ever could.

"What kind of joke is this? What kind of joke is this?! You... How could I possibly lose?!"

Frieza roared in fury, raised a finger, condensed an enormous Energy Blast, and hurled it at Son Goku.

"You really are a hopeless bastard, Frieza!"

Son Goku condensed a Kamehameha Bullet in his palm. After shattering Frieza's Energy Blast, it slammed directly into Frieza's body.

"Yaaah..."

With only half his body remaining and grievous injuries covering him, Frieza let out a miserable scream of pain.

Just as Frieza prepared to retaliate, Son Goku appeared beside him in an instant.

"You really refuse to repent!"

Son Goku's palm viciously slapped across Frieza's face. The tremendous force distorted Frieza's features!

"Waaah..."

Son Goku drove his fist into the top of Frieza's head, smashing him directly into the ground!

"D-Damn it, damn it..."

Frieza's consciousness began to blur. The loss of stamina, combined with Son Goku's brutal beating, had left him utterly spent.

The sensation of his life slipping away made him miserable. Nearly exhausting his last strength, he extended a hand. He wanted to live. Waiting for death like this was truly unbearable.

Son Goku landed steadily before Frieza and looked at him. "Watching your life drain away in agony... this kind of death suits you perfectly, Frieza. If Wuling were here, he'd probably talk you into dying with your eyes still open."

Son Goku turned around and took off with Flight. Frieza could not even fly anymore. Compared to being reduced to dust and ashes, this death was far more miserable.

"Help... help me..."

Son Goku halted. He had just wondered whether he had heard wrong, then turned back to look at Frieza.

"Save me..."

"You..."

Son Goku gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, "You... You killed so many people. Did you ever spare them?"

Frieza struggled painfully. The feeling of his life slipping away made him desperately want to survive.

"Please, save... save me... I'm begging you, save me."

"You... Frieza!"

Son Goku condensed a surge of energy in his palm and poured it into Frieza's body.

Frieza, who had been suffering and struggling moments ago, suddenly felt his entire body fill with strength again. He rose into the air blankly, looked at Son Goku, understood what had happened, and stared at him in disbelief.
