Clap. Clap. Clap.
Frieza slowly applauded, a smug smile playing on his lips as he looked at Goku. "Impressive. Truly impressive! I never expected a Saiyan to possess such strength. Tell me, Goku, how would you like to serve under me as my....?"
Before he could even finish his sentence, Goku cut him off with a furious shout.
"Serve you? Serve your damn mother!" Goku spat. "Even if you begged on your knees and polished my boots, I wouldn't work for a bastard like you! You should take a good look in a mirror before making such ridiculous offers!"
Frieza's expression darkened, his smile vanishing instantly. "You… How dare you! You've successfully angered me, Saiyan!"
The atmosphere tensed. The battle was about to be start.
With a flicker of movement, Frieza vanished from sight, reappearing in front of Goku in an instant. With a swift spinning kick, he aimed for Goku's head—but before it could connect, Goku caught his leg with one hand.
"Not bad."
Then, with a smirk, Goku launched a counterattack, delivering a powerful kick that sent Frieza crashing into the ground, smashing through boulders.
Frieza's current form only had a power level of 500,000. Against Goku, he was completely outmatched.
Goku's gaze flickered toward the Grand Elder's home, noticing the damage their battle had already caused. "Damn… The Grand Elder is already on the verge of death. If he gets caught in the crossfire, the Dragon Balls will disappear too!"
Frieza pulled himself out of the rubble, seething with rage. "You bastard! I'll kill you!"
He rushed forward again, but this time, Goku raised a hand.
"Wait."
Frieza halted, eyes narrowing. "What?"
Goku pointed toward the village. "We need to change locations. If we fight here, the Grand Elder will die, and the Dragon Balls will disappear. If that happens, you won't be able to make your wish."
Frieza scoffed. "You think I care?!"
But then, after a brief pause, he let out a haughty laugh. "Fine. Let's move this elsewhere. Not because I care, but because I want you to suffer before you die."
With that, Goku took off into the sky, Frieza following closely behind.
They landed in a desolate wasteland, far from civilization.
Frieza perched himself atop a massive boulder, arms crossed. "So, this is where you've chosen to be buried?"
Goku rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap and transform already. In your current form, I could kill you in an instant."
Frieza's smirk twitched. "Oh? So you're aware of my transformations? How amusing."
He let out a slow breath. "Very well. I shall indulge you, but once I transform, you will have no chance of victory!"
Then—
"HAAAAA!"
Frieza's body expanded, muscles bulging, power surging. His once small frame grew into a hulking mass of muscle.
Boom!
The shockwave from his transformation shook the entire battlefield.
"Be careful now, Saiyan. I'm not as gentle as before.". Frieza roared and punched Goku...
But rather than looking afraid, Goku's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"this isn't enough!"
Goku's excitement grew stronger as he clenched his fists, forcibly enduring Frieza's powerful punch. Without hesitation, he retaliated with a heavy strike of his own, sending Frieza stumbling back several meters.
"Haaaah!!!"
Goku let out a thunderous roar, his energy skyrocketing, causing violent winds to surge and lightning to crackle around his body. The entire planet shuddered under his immense power, the sky above clearing as if bowing to his might.
Frieza's eyes widened in horror.
"I-Impossible... Such overwhelming energy... How can a mere monkey possess such power?! No... no! Could he really be... the legendary Super Saiyan?!"
Goku's gaze sharpened, filled with eager anticipation.
"Frieza! Transform into your final form now. If you don't, you won't get another chance!"
Frieza gritted his teeth, his rage flaring.
"Hmph! Super Saiyan? Nonsense! That legend is just a fairy tale! I am the supreme ruler of the universe—Frieza! And I will wipe you out!"
With an ear-splitting roar, his power exploded outward, his body twisting and morphing. His muscles expanded, his horns elongated, and his entire form grew bulkier and more monstrous.
However, it didn't stop there.
His energy continued surging wildly, his massive body shrinking down, refining itself into a sleek, compact form—his ultimate transformation.
The instant Frieza's transformation completed, Goku's excitement reached its peak.
"So this is your final form? As expected… you're strong! HAHAHA!"
Unable to contain himself, Goku lunged forward, fist cocked back.
"I'll make you regret underestimating me, Saiyan!" Frieza sneered and vanished, reappearing in an instant to counter Goku's attack.
BOOM!
Their fists collided, sending a massive shockwave tearing through the battlefield, flattening mountains and obliterating the ground beneath them.
"HAHA! That's more like it!" Goku laughed wildly as he counterattacked, forcing Frieza to retreat.
The two warriors clashed at supersonic speed, their silhouettes barely visible, leaving behind only flickering afterimages and the deafening roars of impact.
"DIE!"
Frieza's tail lashed out like a whip, striking Goku squarely in the stomach and sending him hurtling toward the ground.
"Hahaha! Let's see how you handle this!" Frieza extended his hands, unleashing a barrage of deadly energy blasts.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The landscape was torn apart, the ground crumbling, and magma from deep beneath began to erupt onto the battlefield.
But from within the devastation—
"Tch…!"
A figure emerged, floating in midair, Goku hovered in the air, his breathing heavy, his body bruised and bloodied. His right arm hung limp at his side, nearly useless from the sheer force of Frieza's attacks.
"Damn... This guy is strong! That must have been only 50% of his full power... Crap, I might be in trouble here!"
With a quick flick of his wrist, Goku pulled out a Senzu Bean and tossed it into his mouth.
The moment he swallowed, his wounds closed instantly, his strength returned tenfold, and his power surged even higher.
"HAHAHAHA! I KNEW IT! Fighting is the best way for a Saiyan to grow stronger!"
Fully revitalized, Goku descended toward the battlefield, grinning wildly.
Frieza's smirk faltered as he watched Goku emerge from the battlefield completely unscathed.
"You... you're completely healed?!" His voice was filled with disbelief.
Goku scoffed, dusting himself off. "You call that a fight? That was just a warm-up."
Frieza's face twisted with fury.
"You damned monkey! I'll make you eat those words!"
His aura surged violently, and with a flicker, he charged toward Goku once more.
Goku and Frieza clashed midair, their battle sending tremors through the planet itself.
Frieza burst with crashing waves, his fingers glowing with deadly energy as he unleashed a rapid-fire barrage of beams toward Goku.
Zzt! Zzt! Zzt!
Goku weaved between the beams, narrowly avoiding each one. But in that split second, Frieza vanished and reappeared behind him, delivering a devastating axe kick to Goku's back.
"Ugh!"
The impact sent Goku hurtling downward, crashing into the ground with a thunderous boom. The land beneath him collapsed, forming a massive crater hundreds of meters deep.
Before Goku could even rise, Frieza gathered a massive energy sphere in his palm and hurled it down.
"This time, you're finished, monkey!"
Goku, still coughing up blood, forced himself to his feet inside the crater. His face twisted in frustration.
"Damn, you really want me dead, huh?!"
Clenching his fists, he thrust his arms forward, roaring:
"KA..ME..HA..ME..HA!!!"
A blinding blue energy beam erupted from his palms, colliding head-on with Frieza's massive attack.
BOOOOOM!!!
The two beams clashed midair, their power ripping through the battlefield, sending massive shockwaves across the land.
Frieza gritted his teeth, his rage boiling.
"Damn it! I refuse to lose to a Saiyan! You will die here, Goku!"
His aura erupted, and his power began to rise again.
60%... 65%... 70%... 80%...
"HAAAHHH!!!"
As Frieza's strength surged past 80%, his energy attack doubled in size, swallowing Goku's Kamehameha whole and pushing back with unstoppable force.
"Shit! This is bad!"
Goku's eyes widened as the overwhelming energy engulfed him, forcing him into the depths of the planet.
Then—
BOOOOOOOM!!!
A cataclysmic explosion erupted, sending shockwaves across the entire Namekian landscape. The ground split apart, massive fissures opening as lava erupted skyward.
Half the planet was obliterated in an instant.
"HAHAHAHA!!!"
Frieza threw his head back in laughter, his voice echoing across the crumbling land.
"Super Saiyan?! HA! You're nothing but a dead monkey now! I AM THE STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE!!!"
Suddenly—
Bubbling.
The lava below churned violently, as if something was rising from the depths.
Frieza's smug grin faltered.
"Wait… No… It can't be…"
"WHOOOOOOOSH!!!"
A colossal golden light burst from the magma, parting the lava like a divine force descending upon the world.
From within the blazing inferno, a silhouette emerged.
Frieza's eyes widened in sheer horror.
"N-NO! Impossible!"
Goku hovered in midair, his body wreathed in a golden aura, his breath heavy with rage.
His eyes, once dark and kind, now glowed with a piercing emerald intensity.
His hair, once jet black, now flickered between gold and flame, standing on end like a blazing sun.
The winds howled, and the ground trembled beneath him.
Goku stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay the shattered remains of his World Ring—the artifact that had contained Bulma, Saeko, Rei, Yuriko, and the others.
In the blink of an eye, they had all been erased from existence.
Goku stared blankly at the fragments, his hands trembling.
Then, his body stiffened.
A moment later—
"Bulma... Saeko... Rei... Yuriko..."
His voice shook. His fingers clenched tightly around the broken ring.
His eyes darkened, his pupils dilating in pure, unfiltered rage.
Then, with a thunderous voice, he roared—
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU, FRIEZA!!! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! I'LL KILL YOU!, I'LL WIPE OUT YOUR ENTIRE RACE! HA!!!"
The sky split apart.
Golden lightning crashed down from the heavens.
The very air vibrated violently, and the planet groaned in agony.
Goku's aura expanded exponentially, its golden flames licking at the sky, creating a storm of energy unlike anything before.
"RRAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
With a final earth-shaking explosion, Goku's transformation completed.
