Chapter 52: Super Namekian

Piccolo looked extremely amazed at Cold's transformation, he expelled a great power. It was even somewhat superior to his own.

'Looks like what he said earlier wasn't lies,' Piccolo thought through clenched teeth, 'So does he have one more transformation left? Damn'

"Sorry for the wait, now we can resume our fight" King Cold spoke with a gloomy smile and Piccolo got into a fighting stance.

Flush!

To the Namekian's surprise, King Cold appeared in front of him at an unusual speed. Piccolo stepped back in great bewilderment.

'How can he be so fast?!' Piccolo wondered but he didn't have time for more when Cold kicked him in the chin.

Piccolo was thrown into the sky but managed to recover soon. However, the king with his enormous speed anticipated his move.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me that's all your power" Cold commented with some disappointment in his voice and kicked him back to the floor with great force.

Piccolo landed on a rock with a river of blood pouring from his mouth. He put his hand to that area, wiping away the purple liquid.

'He's strong, but what makes him fearsome is his speed. I have to counter it!' Piccolo inquired as King Cold landed.

Meanwhile, the others were quite shocked at how the situation had turned out, Piccolo was between a rock and a hard place.

"This is too bad, with that speed Piccolo can hardly see his movements" Tienshinhan declared helplessly pressing his fists.

Yamcha looked at Piccolo seriously, he was still hopeful because he was certain that the Namekian didn't fight with all his power.

It seemed that he was right, as Piccolo removed the turban from his head and then removed his cape, his dual set of heavy clothing.

"Good, now I can fight more comfortably!" Piccolo said massaging his neck and immediately a whitish aura began to surround his body.

King Cold frowned at his words, but on the opposite side the illusion had returned. The chances of winning are back!

"I forgot that Piccolo was wearing those clothes that limit his movements so much, we can still win this battle!" Krillin uttered excitedly.

"More comfortable? Haha, I want to check that" declared King Cold flying towards him and extended his arm to attack him but suddenly he vanished.

The king looked everywhere because he didn't see him anywhere. Suddenly, Piccolo appeared on top of him and bringing both hands together he hit his head.

BOOM!

Cold was buried in the ground and Piccolo grabbed him by the tail before spinning him around. And after a few turns, he threw him into the air.

Ki spheres appeared in his hands and mercilessly began a festival of attacks towards Cold filling the sky with lights and smoke.

"It's an impressive power" Tienshinhan muttered in disbelief at the scene.

"It's a great relief that Piccolo is now on our side" Krillin smiled nervously, the most recent battles had associated them.

Piccolo crossed his arms as the smoke in the sky slowly dissipated. There Cold appeared injured, but they were not so seriously.

"So... the most powerful family in the universe you said" Piccolo said mockingly as Cold looked at him with a smirk installed on his face.

King Cold said no more. He flexed his arm at a right angle, and a violet-colored sphere of energy began to form in the palm of his hand.

That sphere suddenly became larger, surprising everyone. Piccolo steadied his stance to parry this energy blaster.

"Go dead!" Cold yelled firing the blaster at Piccolo, who extended both arms ready to stop him, "You won't be able to stop this attack!"

BAM!

Piccolo's hands came into contact with the sphere and he raised his power to the maximum to stop it. And his legs were buried.

The surrounding ground began to tremble as the attack was hitting the surface. Cold smiled crossing his arms.

"Piccolo!" Krillin cried uneasily but Yamcha looked at him with a calm smile. He didn't have to worry, everything would be fine.

"I... I don't know Piccolo very well, but I've trained with him for a while and I know he doesn't give up easily" Yamcha stated with a smile.

And so it was, little by little the sphere began to rise while Piccolo stood up. Cold was amazed at such a feat.

"Impossible!" exclaimed the king, astonished.

Piccolo concentrated all of his energies to return the attack. "HAA!" The Namekian yelled, returning that ball to its owner, Cold.

The frost demon wasn't stupid enough to stop his own blaster. So he moved away and the sphere continued to rise into the atmosphere.

Piccolo noticed that Cold was engrossed, so he flew towards him and landed a punch to his right cheek followed by a powerful knee.

King Cold spit blood, bringing both hands to his abdomen. And Piccolo gave him an ax blow sending him back to the surface.

The frost demon's body was buried by the blow and Piccolo prepared energy blasts before starting a new siege.

But unlike before, the king didn't allow himself to be hit. He deflected all the blasts and took flight to continue the melee fight.

PAM!

PAM!

An exchange of punches and kicks ensued between the two, but Piccolo seemed to have a slight advantage in that domain.

They hit each other in the face and their knees collided, causing thunder in the sky. It was turning out to be an even battle.

The two landed. Piccolo had some injuries but Cold was more injured, because the Namekian's attacks had hurt him.

"I see, so you're a Super Namekian! It's been a long time since I've seen one" Cold said crossing his arms. Piccolo raised an eyebrow.

"Super Namekian?" he asked him confused.

"There are inhabitants on the planet Namek with powers beyond normal, one called Slug tried to challenge my position but he was very weak"

"My son Frieza finished him off, and although you are much weaker I admit that you have caught my attention" King Cold uttered with a smile.

"I already said I wouldn't join your army, bastard. Change your mind" Piccolo said with a smile.

"Haha as you wish, you will have the privilege of contemplating my true form" Cold extended his arms and Piccolo got into a fighting pose.

"His true form? Those two are monsters" Tienshinhan stated in amazement.

Krillin was going to say something but suddenly he felt a chill as he felt the amount of Ki that the cold demon was releasing at this moment.

Piccolo was taken aback when he noticed that the armor on Cold's body was starting to crack like a shell.

Cold's body was surrounded by light and Piccolo recoiled as the demon expelled quite a monstrous amount of power.

After a few seconds, King Cold's new form appeared. Without horns, without spikes, it turned out to be a somewhat more docile appearance than the others.

"Here is my final form, be honored namekian" King Cold spoke with a slight smile, "Well, let's continue our battle!"

Piccolo clenched his fists. Now the situation had changed... and his chances as well.

______________

Frieza grimaced grotesquely as the Saiyans flew at him to attack him. Today he was going to kill them all, he would leave no survivors.

The evil emperor of evil began to dodge the blows that Goku, Raditz, Vegeta and Gohan tried to give him using only his 50%.

The attacks came from almost every possible direction but they weren't effective or precise... and Frieza began to tire.

"You're just garbage!" Frieza yelled in annoyance and landed a knee to Raditz's abdomen followed by a fist to Vegeta's chin.

The two ended up on the ground and Goku stared at it through clenched teeth. The kaio-ken times twenty was wasting all of his energy.

Gohan exchanged a look with his father and they both nodded. The little boy activated the Kaiō-ken times ten achieving an amount of 22,500,000 units.

"HAA!" shouted father and son taking flight. They began an offensive against Frieza in a combination of powerful kicks and punches.

Vegeta clenched his fists in frustration as he found himself left out. He was going to prepare to return but a hand from Raditz stopped him.

"What are you doing insect?!" the prince demanded.

"Watch" Raditz limited himself to saying that while he had his arms crossed. He understood Vegeta well but the two of them shouldn't fight.

Vegeta murmured and his eyes focused on the fight. After a few seconds, he realized something and looked at Raditz, who nodded. Now he understood.

Frieza was getting outmatched by both of them since they were coordinating very well and the Kaio-ken was powering all of his hits.

'How come these damn monkeys are matching half my power? It is impossible!' the tyrant thought in disbelief at that.

PAM!

Frieza received a double hit to his abdomen followed by one to the chin that sent him several meters into the sky. Father and son looked at each other.

"Kame...Hame...HAA!" Goku and Gohan yelled, launching their attacks towards the emperor, who recovered looking stunned at those attacks.

Frieza reached out with both hands to block these two waves of energy but it was such a colossal amount of power that it even pushed him back.

"You can never beat me!" the emperor shouted as veins began to show on his skin. He was using 70% of his total power!

That mean, Frieza had reached 84,000,000 units. But despite that, Goku and Gohan didn't give up. And just two more guests came.

"Garlick Gun!"

"Saturday Crush!"

Vegeta and Raditz supported with their powerful attacks that added to those of Goku and Gohan making Frieza even more angry.

"Damn!" Frieza unleashed much more power until in the end he totally blocked the joint attack that the saiyans fired at him.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion rumbled across the sky accompanied by a strong blizzard that mercilessly uprooted some Ajisa trees by their roots.

"Have we defeated him?" Raditz inquired with a bitter smile. He already knew the answer but hearing otherwise wouldn't hurt. And no one answered him.

"Sigh…what I would give for a bowl of Chi-Chi's food" Goku said laughing out loud and Raditz looked at him as if he had grown two heads.

"Only a fool like you would say such things at a time as critical as this" Raditz pointed out and Goku scratched his cheek smiling nervously.

"Well, I'm with dad" Gohan spoke with a smile and Raditz glared at him. But suddenly, the smoke above the sky disappeared.

Frieza appeared with small wounds on his body. Vegeta gritted his teeth angrily as he realized that they had attacked him to no avail.

"It's surprising, insects like you were able to hurt me... but I'm far from my maximum power" Frieza indicated smiling.

Everyone except Gohan trembled at that statement, what was the limit of this being? His power seemed to have no ceiling, it was terrifying!

"Today we will defeat you Frieza, of that I have no doubt, admit that you are afraid of the Saiyans!" Vegeta pointed out glaring at him.

Raditz looked at Vegeta without understanding what he was saying, since right now it was the four of them who were in bad shape.

"That was a good joke Vegeta" the tyrant let out a mocking laugh but Vegeta's enthusiasm didn't fade, "Why would I be afraid?"

"You're afraid of the Super Saiyan! That's why you destroyed planet Vegeta, right Frieza?" Vegeta asked with a proud smile.

"H-how do you say? Frieza destroyed planet Vegeta?" Raditz asked quite surprised.

"Exactly, the meteorite story was a lie... Frieza destroyed the planet even though we worked for him!" Vegeta said looking at him.

Raditz clenched his fists glaring at the emperor, who was on top of a hill listening to them with a smirk.

"But he did it because he fears the Super Saiyan, we have become very powerful in recent times after several battles"

"To the point where we've managed to hurt that monster. I'm destined to be the Legendary Super Saiyan!" Vegeta stated confidently.

"You can be whatever you want... but I'm not going to forgive the fact that Freeza has trampled on our pride" Raditz spoke expelling the Ki from him.

He had used them as if they were mere dolls and then discarded them, who did he think he was? Also, he killed his mother Gine!

"Wait!"

Despite Goku's shout, it was too late as Raditz launched himself at Frieza, who showed no mercy and pierced his abdomen with his arm.

"Raditz!" Goku yelled in great perplexity upon seeing this and Frieza threw the Saiyan's body to the ground.

"I'm sick of so many nonsense, stupid monkeys, I'll finish you off" Frieza commented, flying very quickly towards the three saiyans.

PAM!

Vegeta used his forearm to block him but the evil emperor hit him hard in the face sending him crashing into a mountain.

Goku stood in front of his son to protect him, but he paid dearly for it because Frieza gave him an ax blow to the head, burying him in the floor.

"Dad!" Gohan yelled and looked at Frieza with fury shining in his onyx eyes, "You'll pay me!"

Gohan charged at him using the Kaio-ken times ten but the difference in power was abysmal, Frieza nearly quadrupled his fighting power.

BOOM!

Frieza planted a knee to Gohan's abdomen, who released a mouthful of blood from the blow. The tyrant grabbed him by the hair forcefully.

"You made a mistake by challenging me insects, now you will know what the real hell is" Frieza said with an evil smile on his face.

Frieza began hitting the boy's abdomen repeatedly, enjoying his cries of pain as if it were a song.

"Enough Frieza!" Goku yelled, lunging at the frost demon, who used his tail to easily send him back to the ground.

"That wretch is tough" Frieza said looking askance at Goku, "Where were we midget? Ah yes... he was about to kill you"

"D-do you know what y-your mistake was, you damn Frieza? Trusting too much" Gohan said smiling and suddenly vanished. Frieza was puzzled.

"Where did that kid go?!" Frieza exclaimed without seeing him anywhere, how was it possible that he had disappeared? "Fine, I'll kill the rest!"

Goku struggled to stop Frieza but suddenly felt a gigantic Ki in the sky. He looked up and was stunned.

Frieza suddenly felt a greater luminosity in that place. Looking up he was surprised to see an additional sun in the sky.

No, under him was Gohan!

"A Spirit Bomb!" Goku declared quite surprised by the fact that Gohan was able to do that technique and also perfectly.
