Dragonball Z: Frieza Saga [10]

Water gushes in, as everyone is blown back by the explosion. Gohan and Krillen stand alone on a small island, looking for Goku and Piccolo. After a while, a green hand comes onto the island, near their feet. It is followed by Piccolo’s head, then his other arm. In his other arm is Goku. Piccolo pulls him up, and they all rest on the island, joking with one another. It looks as though they have finally won. Suddenly, Krillen puts on a complete look a fear. Goku quickly turns round, thinking that Freiza is back. Krillen tells him that they forgot about Bulma, and Goku laughs that he thought he saw Freiza again! Krillen says that in a way, Bulma is worse than Freiza. Everyone laughs at this, but the party is soon broken up, as one angry Freiza floats out of the water. He can’t believe that a ‘monkey’ (He calls saiyans this because of their tails) has got the better of him. Amazed that Freiza survived that blast, everyone gets to their feet. Freiza holds out his finger, and fires a blast at Goku, who is now too weak to move. Piccolo dives in the way, and is hit instead. Goku can’t believe what an honorable sacrifice Piccolo made, and thanks him for it. Freiza then turns to Krillen, and lifts him up psychically by doing an action with his finger. Krillen yells out for help, but Freiza clenches his fists, and Krillen explodes. Goku starts whimpering as his best friend has just died. Freiza foolishly rubs it in, and Goku has had enough. He tries to calm himself down, but he can’t. His rage is unbearable. His hair flashes a golden yellow, but then goes back to black. It flashes yellow again, as lightning strikes all over the planet. Freiza doesn’t know what’s happening, and Goku finally explodes with energy, and his hair turns golden yellow, and his eyebrows do too. His muscles bulge, and he turns to Freiza. The evil tyrant asks what he is, and Goku replies with a typical good guy comment describing his new SSJ attitude - “Ally to good, nightmare to you!” He shouts at Gohan to go and take Piccolo to the ship. Gohan reluctantly leaves, and Freiza goes to shoot him with one of his finger blasts, but Goku appears in front of him, amazing the evil changeling by showing off his speed. Freiza blasts Goku with a few of his finger blasts, but Goku easily dodges them all, scaring Freiza. Goku kicks him around for a bit, until Freiza announces that it isn’t always the strongest who wins, it is sometimes the smartest. He then powers up a huge ball of energy, and shoots it at the planet core. Goku is horrified, but thinks that Freiza has missed. The evil tyrant informs him that he didn’t though, and he would give Namek about three minutes until explosion, and seeing how he can breathe in space, things aren’t looking good for Goku. The super saiyan claims that he doesn’t need that much time to beat his opponent.

Gohan gets Piccolo to the ship, and goes off looking for Bulma.

On Kai’s planet, Kai and Kami are psychically talking, and discussing what to do with the dragonballs. Mr Popo has collected them all, and is standing by, ready to make a wish. They say that only one person can be revived, but not Chao-zu, as he already has been. Tien says he isn’t going anywhere with Chao-zu, and Yamcha does too. Kai says that they will have to think of another wish then. He asks Kami about the Earths dragonballs, and is told that they may have less wishes than Nameks, but they are far more powerful. Kai ponders on whether you could be revived from a broken heart, as that’s what Guru died from. They take a risk, and decide that is their Earth dragonball wish. If it works, then the Namek balls will reappear, meaning they can wish everyone back to Earth, apart from Freiza. Goku butts in though, and says that he wants to stay to fight his enemy, and prove that he is the worlds strongest. Kai reluctantly agrees. The wish isn’t to be made yet though, as they must wait a while, until Mr Popo has put all the balls in place.

Goku hopes that everyone has left the planet, and continues to lay a beating on Freiza. The evil tyrant then starts to power up, and Goku senses that he is afraid Goku will attack him during the powering up. After a short while, Freiza’s muscle size increases, and Kai is ordering Goku to finish him off now. Goku refuses though, and wants to wait until he is at full power. After a while, Freiza announces that he is at full power, and he looks mega tough. Goku knows what he is up against, and looks on against his formidable foe, who now rivals his power.

Mr Popo makes the wish to Earths dragon (Everyone killed by Freiza gets revived) and Shenron says he’ll do his best to grant it.

Goku and Freiza continue to fight, with neither man coming out on top. Goku gets a few shots in, as does Freiza, but neither of them have a good advantage over the other. Freiza realizes that Goku is stalling him, so that his son can get off the planet alive. Freiza taunts him, and is attacked, but he manages to block it, and pounds Goku to the ground, driving him down through the layers, and then into the volcanic lava, which erupts on Goku.

Shenron has finished with his wish, just before Goku is immersed with lava. Gohan finds Bulma and puts her in the ship, and senses that his dads power level has dropped down to 0. He flies over to see what has happened, and he finds Freiza laughing, and gloating over his victory. Freiza sees Gohan, and taunts him about his dad dying. This angers the kid, and he charges at Freiza, and knocks him down to the floor.

People all round the planet are starting to get up, and wonder what happened. Vegeta gets out of his grave, and wonders whether he is still alive or not. He punches himself in the stomach, and falls to the fall in pain, making him realize that he is neither in heaven, nor having a dream, but he is really alive! He senses the power levels, and flies over to them so he can get involved in the fight some more.

Freiza is getting up from Gohan’s surprise attack, but he still has plenty of energy, unlike the saiyan kid. Freiza pails him down to the floor, then slams him across the face. It looks all over for Gohan, that is, until a volcano erupts, with Goku shooting out. He shouts at Gohan to leave, and he and Freiza go at it again, with Goku having an advantage this time, due to the added rage inside him. Gohan is really happy about his dad surviving the beating that he has withstood so far, and hopes that he can get the job done. Freiza sees that Porunga is back in the sky, and dumps Goku to fly towards it.

Kai contacts Guru, and tells him the plan. Guru passes it over to Dende, who goes over to the dragon, and starts to tell him the wish. Before he can finish though, Freiza arrives, and wishes for immortality. Goku curses that Freiza made it, but Dende continues with the wish. Vegeta arrives on the scene, and laughs at Freiza, telling him you can only make wishes in Namek. He congratulates Goku on becoming SSJ, then powers up an energy blast aimed at Freiza. Before he can shoot it out though, Dende finishes his wish, and everyone on Namek (Except Goku and Freiza) are transported to Earth. Vegeta curses as he misses out on the fight, but realizes that he will soon be the strongest person in the galaxy.

Freiza laughs as he realizes that he has survived yet again. Goku now knows that Gohan is off the planet, so he can start fighting properly.

Freiza tells Goku that there is two minutes until Namek explodes. Goku manages to rough up Freiza quite badly, and gets a firm grip on the fight, managing to outclass Freiza totally for the next minute. Freiza then announces that he;d give the planet another minute until it explodes, and tries to put a beating on Goku. He fails though, and ends up getting hurt far worse than before. With Freiza on the floor, half dead, Goku tells him that he has won, and Freiza’s pride has been damaged, and he should live the rest of his life in peace. Goku then starts to fly away, but Freiza wont let him go, as he powers up a disc, and throws it at him. Goku narrowly dodges it, and gets cut across the face. He is irate at Freiza for going back on the deal, and is about to fly in and destroy him, when the disc stops, and comes back at him. It appears that Freiza has control of it. After trying to make the disc break on rocks and things, Goku knows that it is indestructible. He dodges it, then flies right at Freiza. He flies up at the last possible second, but Freiza knew what he was trying to do, and gets the disc to go up. It seems that he hits Goku, but it is just an after image of him, and the real Goku appears in front of Freiza, and knocks him down. Freiza loses his disc because of this, and is incredibly angry at Goku, so he powers up another two, and throws them both at him. Angry by Freiza’s actions, Goku swerves in and out of both of them, and flies towards Freiza again. The evil one mocks him for trying the same trick twice, but this time Goku blasts up the dust so Freiza can’t see, but he manages to guide the discs up anyway. Goku gets away from them both, and lands. Freiza trash talks him for a while, until Goku shouts at him to look out behind him. Freiza says that he isn’t falling for it, and is cut in half by his own disc. He can’t believe it, and Goku stand stall, proud of winning. He powers up to take off, but Freiza lets out a pathetic plead of help. Goku powers down, and walks away, telling Freiza that he never even listened to others pleads for mercy. Freiza asks him to help again, but Goku carries on walking. After a while, Goku knows that he can’t being himself to do it, and he goes towards Freiza, and blasts him. Freiza thinks that he is dead, but Goku tells him that he has provided him with enough energy to let him go free from the planet. Freiza laughs as Goku finally takes off for his ship. The top half of Freiza’s body floats into the air, and refuses to accept defeat. He blasts Goku with his last remaining energy. Goku senses the blast, and turns, cursing Freiza’s foolishness, as he answers it with a one handed blast of his own, obliterating Freiza’s beam, and killing him once and for all. The planet it really badly damaged now, and could blow at any second.

Goku flies into Freiza’s ship, and frantically presses the start button, but it wont work, so he flies out before it collapses down a huge canyon. He then flies over to his ship, only to see it fall into an abyss of molten lava. He charges up, and lets off a cry as Namek explodes, catching him with it. The whole planet disappears in a massive explosion. Goku is no where to be seen. It looks like he came to an untimely end.

Back on Earth, everyone is at the capsule corporation with Bulma. Kai tells everyone that Goku has won, and they all cheer. But then he says that he was caught in the explosion, but no one is too bothered, He asks why, and they reply that it is because of the Namek dragonballs being able to bring anyone back as many times as they like. Kai says it is a good idea, but it wont work, because Goku and Krillen died on Namek, and when someone is wished back, they are wished back to the planet they died on, and in Nameks case, it would be outer space, and they would suffocate. Vegeta watches everyone fret, and tells them to wish Krillen and Goku back to the Earths check in station, then wish them back. Gohan thanks Vegeta for the idea, and they put it forward to Shenron. The dragon tells them that Krillen is there, but Goku is still alive, and wants to remain where he is for a little while longer. They wonder where he has gone, and Vegeta realizes that he will be getting stronger by the minute, and he climbs into a spaceship, and blasts off to look for him.

110 days later (Or is it 115…or 135….some thing like that anyway) the Namekian dragonballs have regenerated, as a Namek year is les than an Earth year. They wish Krillen to the Earths check in station, then back to Earth, and they wish for Yamcha to be bought back alive.

Another Namek year passes, and a wish is made for Tien and Chao-zu to return. The Nameks have found a new host planet, and the final wish is to transport them all there. Dende and Gohan cry as they say their good-byes. Dende disappears, and all the Nameks go to the new Namek.

Thus ends the Freiza saga. Gohan reunited with his mom, and was forced to keep the terrible gelled hair style for a while longer, and Bulma changed hers once again. Goku is on a planet somewhere, and Vegeta is searching for him. Freiza is finally dead. A lot of things happened in this saga, and it really was of an excellent quality.
