DragonBall V: A World Both Familiar and Foreign

Chapter 12: Round 3: Goku, Our Last Hope!

Bulma was talking to her father about an anomaly in a
computer simulation of a current Capsule Corporation project when it happened.
One moment she was in the middle of a sentence and the next she was dizzy and nauseous.
She collapsed to her knees and rested back on her heels, putting her hand up
against the worktable next to her, gasping for breath. Dr. Briefs rushed over
to her and knelt down, asking her if she was ok. Bulma shook her head quickly
and shivered, sweating despite the cold she was feeling. “Oh Kami… Vegeta!”
Bulma cried out.

She felt intense pain flood throughout her body as her
endorphine level plummeted, causing an instant heroin-like withdrawal. Dr.
Briefs was talking to her, but she had no idea what he was saying, only that
his lips were moving. She leaned forward and vomited before slumping against
the table next to her, staring listlessly forward, unfocused on anything but
the intense ache in her body and heart. The bond mark on her neck itched and
throbbed and Bulma was sure that she was going to die. Her heart kept on
beating, however, oblivious to the anguish she was experiencing. She didn’t
even notice as she was carried out by someone and put into her bed, a cold
cloth lain on her forehead. Tears fell unchecked from her eyes as her heart
searched in vain for the presence of her mate, but knowing in her mind that he
was dead. She curled up into a ball and was relatively still for hours, save
some shivers and twitches. All attempts at communication with her failed and
eventually everyone left her alone to get some rest.

‘Vegeta… you were an arrogant prick at times, but I loved
you for it. How could you leave me!? You fucking bastard… no, it wasn’t your
fault. It was Frieza. Oh no… if the guys failed in killing him, he’s probably
going to head here next! But… I just can’t muster up the strength to care about
that right now. Kami, I’d kill for a tub of triple chocolate fudge ice cream.
Why am I even thinking about food at a time like this?! Vegeta…’ Bulma drifted
off into a nightmare-filled sleep, drenched in a cold sweat.

*********************

King Kai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, groaning
in disappointment. “No… Vegeta! He’s been slain. Piccolo and Krillin are no
match for Frieza anymore… and Goku is the only one left. This is bad.”

Tien frowned, upset by the news and turned to Yamcha and
Chaotzu. “I wish we could help, guys. Man! This is driving me nuts!”

Yamcha nodded. “I know what you mean! Hey King Kai, now that
Piccolo is back, the Earth’s dragonballs are back as well, right? Is there any
kind of wish that might help destroy Frieza?”

King Kai scratched his head just behind his right antenna
and then snapped his fingers. “I’ve got it! But… I’m afraid it’ll mean you all
will have to wait even longer before you get wished back… is that all right?”

“If it’ll help take down Frieza, I don’t see a problem with
it, King Kai.” Tien offered. Yamcha and Chaotzu agreed. Chaotzu especially
since he knew he couldn’t get wished back again.

The Kai nodded and turned until he was facing the Earth and
concentrated for several moments before he found Kami’s ki signature and began
a telepathic conversation. “Kami… this is
King Kai.”

On Earth, Kami gasped and looked around for a few moments
before looking up towards space. “Oh…
hello King Kai! What can I do for you?”

“Well, since you and
Piccolo are alive again, the dragonballs should be back as well, right?”
King Kai waited a moment for an affirmative then continued. “Well, I believe I have a plan for the wish
when you have all of the dragonballs together.”

Kami nodded even though King Kai couldn’t see it. “Of course, King Kai. What is your desired
wish?”

“For all the people
that Frieza and his henchmen killed to be brought back to life. Doing so will bring
Vegeta back to life, who could help Goku finish off Frieza! Hopefully Guru will
come back to life, since he died of a broken heart, as well.” King Kai
stated.

Kami frowned. “King
Kai, is it wise to bring back all those people when Frieza is still alive? He
might just kill them all again!”

“Unfortunately we
can’t use the last Namek wish to bring Vegeta back to life since Guru died.
It’s a risk we’ll have to take. But, we shouldn’t make that wish unless Goku
can’t win by himself. We’ll just wait and see, I’m afraid.” King Kai
stated.

Kami looked at his garden for a few moments for inspiration
then he thought of something. “King Kai!
The dragonballs are not the only method of bringing somebody back to life!”

King Kai paused as he was about to turn back to look at
planet Namek. “Oh? What do you have in
mind, Kami?”

“A living Otherworld
citizen can give up their own life so that Vegeta could be brought back. We
would just need a volunteer.” Kami answered.

The blue-skinned Kai frowned. “I see… we’ll have to look into that then, Kami. Thank you for your
input.” He looked over at Namek again and gasped. “The fight… it’s
starting.”

**********************

Piccolo and Krillin watched in amazement as Frieza and Goku
fought so fast that they were constantly trying to relocate them to see what
was going on. “Amazing… how did Goku become so strong so fast!? He wasn’t this
strong on Earth!”

Krillin looked over at the tall Namek. “Well first when we
traveled over here we trained under 100 times gravity. But also, Goku is a
Saiyan like Vegeta. When he recovered from that mortal wound in the
regeneration tank, his power skyrocketed. My guess is, he was following the
fight with his mind while he recovered and unconsciously forced his power to
get high enough to defeat Frieza.”

Goku continued fighting, oblivious to the conversation
between Krillin and Piccolo. He went to attack Frieza and just as Frieza tried
hitting him first, he left an afterimage and kicked Frieza in the back of the
head as hard as he could, knocking the tyrant out of the air, sending him
crashing into a mountain side. Goku was breathing hard, his whole body aching
and burning from the battle. He landed on the ground and brought his hands
back. “Ka…me…ha…me…….” He paused, pouring energy into the space between his
fingers, making it the most powerful kamehameha wave ever and waited for Frieza
to get closer so he’d have less of a chance to dodge. Goku’s eyes widened as he
felt Frieza’s presence behind him so he spun and released the wave directly
into the icy tyrant’s chest. Frieza gasped in surprise and was thrown back by
the force of the attack and fell into the water. Goku reached out with his
senses and didn’t feel Frieza, but he knew the evil conqueror was still alive.
He had to be. Goku dropped to one knee and a hand and gasped for breath and
desperately tried to recharge his ki as much as possible. ‘This isn’t going
well. Frieza has kept up with me no matter how much I turn it up. I’ll hit my
peak ability soon… the kaio-ken technique is burning me out!’

Frieza climbed out of the water and wiped at his chest,
grimacing at the burn mark there. “You bastard! You actually hurt me! I’ll
destroy you for that!”

Goku laughed softly. “Bring it on, Frieza! I’m not afraid of
you!”

Frieza grinned. “Oh, but you should be. Because you see, I
haven’t been fighting at my full power.”

Goku smiled. “Neither have I. I’m not worried.”

Frieza shook his head. “Oh, I know. But you see, you’re
pretty close to your full power. I can tell by how exhausted you become after
each attack. But me? I’ve only been fighting at 1 percent of my maximum power
in this form.”

Goku’s eyes widened in horror. “What!? No way! You’re
bluffing!”

Frieza chuckled. “50% of my maximum… that’s all that is
needed. You won’t even be able to touch me.” He cried out for a moment, an aura
of energy surrounding him.

Goku gasped, realizing his error in judgment. “He’s… he’s
not bluffing! Well, I’ll just have to give it my all, I can’t let him win!”

Frieza finished powering up and suddenly vanished then
reappeared right in front of Goku, punching him in the face before the Saiyan
could even blink. As he was hurtling backwards, Frieza shot past him then
bashed him in the head to send him crashing into the ground. Frieza flew down
there at top speed and crashed into Goku with both feet, smiling in
satisfaction as Goku coughed blood up. “Do you see the folly of your actions
now, monkey? You have one last chance to join me as my second in command.
You’ll have everything you could ever desire. Power, luxuries, women. If you don’t
join me though…” Frieza trailed off as he ground his foot into Goku’s chest,
making the warrior cry out in pain.

Goku grabbed Frieza’s foot and twisted it while turning his
body, causing Frieza to lose his balance and fall face first. Goku stood up and
backed away, clutching at his wounded ribs. “I’d rather die than join you,
Frieza! I already have everything I could ever want.”

Frieza grinned. “Not anymore. Your precious Earth is leveled
by now, ready to be sold to the highest bidder. And it’ll fetch quite a
handsome fee, I must say!” Frieza laughed.

Goku stared at Frieza for a moment in shock then grinned.
“No, we stopped Vegeta and Nappa from killing everyone. Earth is fine.”

Frieza shook his head. “I sent two of my men after them not
too long ago. Kui and Ume have probably killed the last
of the Earthlings by now. Vegeta wasn’t too happy about that news, either.”

Goku’s eyes widened. ‘Earth!? Chi-chi! Gohan! Everyone… I’m
so sorry.” Tears started to fall from Goku’s face, earning even more laughter from
the tyrant. Then he frowned, puzzled by something. ‘No… I can still sense
Chi-Chi… she’s alive and well! I can’t feel anyone else at this distance
though.’

“Goku! Don’t listen to
Frieza! Your son defeated those two and saved the Earth! You should be proud of
him, Goku. He takes after his father.” King Kai’s telepathic message came
to his mind suddenly, making Goku get the biggest smile of his life on his
face.

Frieza stopped laughing when he saw the smile. “What are you
grinning at, you damned monkey?! You just found out everyone you care about is
gone! You should be begging me to let you join me!”

Goku shook his head. “Your men failed. My son destroyed
them! Just like I’ll destroy you!” Goku shouted as energy exploded around him,
powering him back up to levels he thought impossible for him. “I’ll never quit,
Frieza! You’ll die for every drop of blood you’ve spilled!” Goku rushed forward
and attacked Frieza in a flurry of punches and kicks, surprising the evil alien
with the intensity and speed of the attacks. Goku landed a knee in Frieza’s
midsection and immediately hammer punched him in his back sending him
plummeting towards the ground. Goku raised a palm and fired a rabid fire
succession of ki blasts, each one hitting Frieza on his descent. After Frieza
landed, Goku summoned up every last bit of energy he had and fired a kamahameha
at the tyrant before he floated down and slumped down to his knees in
exhaustion. ‘Please… let that have been enough!’

Goku’s eyes closed as he felt Frieza recovering. There was
only one last move he could do… the Genki Dama. He raised his hands over his
head and started summoning up the energy of every living thing on Namek before
realizing he’d have to try to draw from everything in the solar system and even
the nearest stars.

Piccolo looked at Goku in confusion. “What’s he doing? Why
is he just standing there? Frieza is about to get up!”

Krillin didn’t answer for a moment, realizing the move
looked familiar. Recognition flooded into him as he realized what Goku was
trying. “The Genki Dama! The spirit ball… he’s gathering energy from the whole
planet… maybe even the whole solar system to make one massive strike against
Frieza!”

Piccolo stared in awe then glanced up as he noticed a
massive amount of ki being gathered. “Oh man… there it is! It’s… enormous! Why
hasn’t he used it yet though, Frieza is coming at him!”

Krillin shook his head. “He must think it’s not strong
enough yet! We have to give him time to finish it!” Frieza was punching Goku in
the gut and knocking him to the ground, laughing because Goku wasn’t fighting
back.

Piccolo nodded. “Let’s go!” They launched forward and
started fighting Frieza for everything they were worth, trying to give Goku
enough time to gather up enough energy to destroy Frieza. Krillin grabbed Frieza
from behind as Piccolo was distracting him with a ki blast to the face and then
Piccolo was using the opportunity to drive a number of shots into Frieza’s
unprotected stomach and face. “We’re going to kill you Frieza! You won’t
terrorize anyone else anymore!” Piccolo shouted.

Frieza concentrated for a moment and a burst of energy
knocked Krillin away then he backhanded Piccolo and sent him crashing to the
ground. Frieza chuckled at them and said “Pitiful weaklings. It’s time I
started picking you all off.” Frieza raised his finger and pointed it at Goku,
whose eyes widened in horror as he realized he would die before the spirit ball
was ready. The purple energy beam shot forward but Piccolo jumped in the way.
He had tried to knock it aside but only ended up taking the blast through the
chest. He fell to the ground in a heap, but his sacrifice had bought Goku the
time he needed.

“Now you die, Frieza! Heeya!!” Goku lowered his arms quickly
and the gigantic spirit ball started moving towards him.

Frieza finally noticed the attack and looked up at it in
horror. “Where did he get all the energy for this!?” Frieza demanded. He put
his arms up to deflect the blast but was driven into the ground where it
exploded. Goku collapsed, only semi-conscious.

Krillin got up from where Frieza had knocked him and
cheered, believing Frieza finally dead. He flew over and grabbed Piccolo and
brought him over near Goku. “You did it, Goku! You’re the man!”

Goku pried himself up and laughed softly, exhaustion making him
about ready to pass out. “Yeah… finally… it’s over.” Goku’s head snapped up as
Krillin was suddenly lifted up into the air, screaming in horror. “What the…”

“Aaahhh!!! Help me, Goku!” Krillin screamed, just before his
body exploded.

A loud maniacal laugh was heard as Frieza appeared at the
mouth of the crater made by the spirit ball. “That’s two down, one to go!”
Frieza taunted.

Goku was enraged. Actually, there is no word for the level
of fury that Goku was driven to. “You soulless monster! You care nothing for
the lives you destroy! I will destroy you, Frieza!” His hair flashed gold for a
moment, making Frieza pause as he had seen the same thing happen to Vegeta.
Frieza raised his hand to blast a hole in Goku, but the energy deflected off of
him. “You’ll never harm another living thing!” Goku shouted, his rage exploding
in a golden aura.

“Well… that was unexpected.” Frieza commented. A moment
later, he was being pummeled into the ground by what he began to realize was a
true Super Saiyan. ‘He’s… more powerful than me now!’ Frieza thought in horror.
He powered up to maximum but he quickly realized he still wasn’t good enough
about the time that he was being slapped repeatedly and kneed in the gut.
Frieza backed away from Goku, spitting out his purple blood and gritting his
teeth in determination. “You may be stronger than me, you fucking monkey, but
I’m still smarter!”

Goku paused, floating in the air. “What are you talking
about, Frieza?”

Frieza put his hands over his head and a huge energy ball
appeared. “Now you die, monkey!” Frieza shouted, launching the ball at the
planet.

Goku, who had expected the attack to come at him, was
shocked when it flew towards the planet Namek. He realized, too late, that it
would destroy the planet. “No! Frieza, what have you done! You’ll kill us
both!”

Frieza chuckled. “I can survive in space, you can’t! I won’t
die, but I’ll have fun watching you die!”

Goku watched in horror as the energy ball started to sink
into the ground… and then stopped. It bounced back suddenly and hurtled at
Frieza, who didn’t get out of the way in time. He blocked, but still took a
large amount of damage. The tyrant hissed in pain then lowered his arms to look
and see what could have possibly deflected the planet destroying blast. Smugly
smiling up at him from the surface was Vegeta, complete with golden glowing
hair.

***********************

Yes I know, no appearance from Gohan in this chapter, but he
wanted to take a break. After all, he has some big stuff coming up and he wants
to be ready for it. ;) Next chapter: Vegeta vs. Frieza, round 2: Super Saiyan
