The landscape would take generations just to heal from the sheer amount of destruction afflicted to it, in just a short amount of time. Green colored water rushed in surge where the newly formed crater formed, though Frieza was no longer seen nor was his energy felt. I wouldn't put it past the guy, someone capable of breathing in the vacuum of space would also be capable of breathing in seawater, where I knew the prick would likely emerge from. Whatever damage afflicted to his body would be seen then, Lord Beerus and I flickered downwards as Cooler and Lord Whis remained on board his glass teleporter.
Landing nearby to where Vegeta, Goku, Seventeen and Eighteen stood and feeling a subtle shift near to me, Towa came forth from her chameleon ability and quickly leaned into my right side, my arm wrapping around her while I kept focus on my surroundings.
"Come on out Frieza. We've much to discuss you and I. I've also alarmed at how much more stronger you've seem to have gotten. Annoyingly so, as now I'm going to have to do my part to eclipse the lot of you. Maintain my title and all as the strongest… cuts into my eating and relaxing time. Annoying. You hiding is making me more irate." Beerus shouted, glancing towards a specific position deep in the ocean, his senses enhanced I would imagine, making Frieza's cat and mouse shit a non-issue.
Said bastard with an impressive transformation that looked similar in ways to Cooler's fifth form then emerged slowly from the ocean, one hand missing and one eye closed. The one arm missing… can be fixed easily enough, his closed eye blinked and remained in his socket though a bit red in color.
Whatever anger that moody cunt was feeling quickly evaporated, his gaze locked in, regarded Lord Beerus with surprise, laced with fear.
"M-My Lord Beerus. Is t-this- why have you come here, my lord? I'd assumed that-"
"-Assumed what, never you mind about what you're thinking now. I've come here, to offer you one chance. A chance in remaining in my good graces. Like your brother up there, with my attendant. He's accepted the task, though I am more interested in having the two of you, along with my other fighters. Now I've got much to do, so I'll tell you it straight. You just have to listen, got that." Frieza landed quickly, looking around in confusion for I suppose, the location of Vegito; whose technique almost done him in and with Goku and Vegeta back once more, the idiot had no clue.
"Yes my lord, though I was in the m-middle of fighting some ragtag Saiyan b-bastard… He even had the nerve to take my arm-" Beerus laughed, clearly amused from the lizard. I moved Towa behind me, then telepathically spoke to her.
'Stand back from me now honey. And uh, begin empowering me now. Just in case this guy doesn't want to play ball.'
'I'll do that then, remain in position and I'll place my hand on your back, make the connection faster… honey. Though I am sure Frieza will come without incident, knowing much about him as I do. It is not in his nature to deny the destroyer god, knowing that he did most of Lord Beerus's quota for a time.' I nodded, keeping still as she floated upwards, her hands wrapped around my neck. I felt her lips on the right side of my neck, hearing her laughter while then seeing her hands vanishing from sight, Towa returning to her invisibility and I begun to feel my power begin to be supplemented from her ability.
"-You can give me sass after I go over the details here. I've a tournament and I've picked you, your brother… among others of which, some are here too. And for this tournament, I need you all alive. Whatever problems you had, if you accept here and now… you'll have to behave. Can't have my team kill the other. "
"And… after this tournament, I suppose those who win shall receive their just rewards for winning it. My lord, I would be eager to join this tournament. Hmph, I am your humble servant my Lord Beerus. Though it pains me to not be able to finish these monkey's and then there is the thought of working with them… I shall agree to your request." Beerus looked pleased while Frieza looked on over, eyes narrowed on Vegeta and Goku with some hatred, there was still confusion in his wandering eyes while Frieza looked to be still trying to see where 'Vegito' went off to.
"That is good Frieza, for if you had refused Cooler would have taken over your empire as I'm sure, he would have been eager for it to be so as a reward. Now I'm not sure what sort of reward for the tournament is to be given… now, though I'll be handing out one reward each to those of my chosen fighters… should we win. Whatever rivalry you now with the Saiyan's here, you'll just have to wait until after. Now then, call your army off and have them… whatever remains of them, retreat to your territory." Frieza sneered, now in thought but quickly nodded, going into a bow made awkward by the one arm missing.
"I'll need another scouter… my lord. Seems I lost mine to the foul beasts I'm now going to be fighting with."
"Whatever, just get it done. Then my attendant and I will pick you up, when the tournament arrives. You and Cooler, both of you or none of you. Understand me Frieza. I've got a package deal with the Cold brothers, not either or." Cooler and Whis came down, landing nearby as Cooler and Frieza locked gazes.
"That also means, stop trying to get the dragon balls… on Namek and Earth. Teammate or what, I'll kill both of you just like last time should you decide on coming back. Just so you know, Your new strength is shit. I'll bury the both of you together. Lord Beerus, make sure they heed my words seeing as you need them, not us." I added, smirking when the two of them both eyed me, hatred lingering in their eyes. Beerus yawned, replying.
"Yeah, sure. Alright then, make it quick else your people will all be wiped out… As last we seen, they were having a horrible time in even getting to Earth, Frieza. You'll need stronger subordinates." Frieza nodded, then looked at Cooler…
"Well then fine. We shall-" Frieza moved as did Cooler, the two of them flickering further off some ways and landing side by side, or as close as the two would stand near to the other.
"-Regretfully decline my lord. As you know, our strength together shall be enough to dictate terms here to you and I'm of the mind that you are no longer someone I need fear. That was when I was but a youth, confident in the strength inherit in me from birth. You see another Frieza, one whom has begun down the path of self-improvement, as you see before you now. Destroyer god Beerus… I will not work with these crass little peons." Cooler nodded, then adding in a growl.
"As much as I loath this little bastard, you don't choose your family. Shall you prove us wrong Lord Beerus, will bite our tongue and work with these flea-bitten apes. So I would hope you would fight by their side, seeing that it is you who wants our assistance. Whatever rewards offered for this tournament, nothing tops pride. Especially when we've made great strides in becoming even stronger than you." Beerus, clearly amused, turned and while scratching his head barked out his reply.
"Hah! Well then, I'll accept that you two think you're a match for me now and from what I've seen from you so far, I should be concerned at this blatant lack of respect. Now usually… I would just erase the two of you and go on with my day, though I do know that Grand Master Zeno has never hosted a tournament before and I hate unknowns. So I'm going to force you two to reconsider, and for this time wasted I'll also forgo your status as my little underling Frieza, someone I call upon to destroy in my name." Frieza only smirked,, Cooler replying as he pointed.
"I'm going to finish you off this time Kron-" I moved, the guy clearly didn't remember how this went twenty or more minutes ago, moving into melee range and grabbing onto Frieza's tail, quickly cutting it off. I singed it with a Ki-blast as Frieza moved, enraged and Cooler joined him as they both engaged me. Lord Beerus flickered inside our melee-range space, engaging with Cooler while I took Frieza's burnt tail and ate it in front of him, hearing him gasp in shock.
"S-See lord Beerus, you don't need monkey's as these! They would eat the one whom feeds t-them-" I flickered up, a burst of energy greatly rising within me from multiple sources; the tail, my mutation Saiyan power and from Towa now, empowering me.
Vegeta and Goku quickly joined in, Seventeen as well, Beerus seemed amused too when there was a flicker of change in his god-Ki, turning the same color as my own at that moment, affected by Towa's empowering ability.
"Yeah, I see now that with this boost. You two shall not last longer. Prideful fools, let me tell you now… the further along this contest continues, the lesser I feel the need in recruiting you two. And it has only been about a minute, so can you see your downfall now?" Beerus mocked, quickly firing a couple orbs he created with nought any effort, the detonating blasts obscured Cooler, his groans from the impacts came out as growls.
"Hmph, Lord Beerus. C-Clearly you can see that these monkey's deserve n-no quarter. K-Kron- he… a-ate my tail-"
"-Heh, I don't know what he was thinking when he ate a piece of Cooler's tail Frieza. But when he gained quite a large amount of power from doing so, I wagered he knew better then I the necessary information about your species to know that he would gain power from feasting on you. I could care less, seeing as I am amused by it. So Kron, if I were to eat these two…" Beerus asked in an amused sort of way, a hint of playfulness even while the two Cold brothers stiffened in their positions within this current bout's melee.
"...Just the tail, I uh… got hungry and figured the prick Cooler could regrow his tail. Surely you can regrow your arm, Frieza. Or maybe have your rich empire make you a mechanical one. That is your lot-" I flickered into closer to Cooler, smashing into his guard with heightened power still rising, Frieza's whole tail much more potent in strength then a small nibble that I took from Cooler twenty or so minutes earlier.
"Bastard… that was my tail you animal! Take this!!" Cooler shouted, renewed vigor at remembering about his own tail I took a bite out of, he threw multiple, pink-colored Ki-blasts as starters, then the the blasts continued on in size and speed while obscuring my vision from the explosions all around me, though each time I afterimaged to a newer position. He followed me, Frieza now up against Goku as Lord Beerus yawned in place, seeing as Frieza with one arm was less of a threat and with Towa boosting him, the destroyer god of universe seven seemed assured of his own superiority…
"Alright then you two, go ahead and finish what you started. Beat him down into submission. Hear that Frieza, I'll still make use of you and your brother… though now I am sure that I can erase both of you, in part thanks to my allies. I'll be sure to make the… whatever remains of you two into two of my team members. You'll both learn some humility first, I'm sure."
(Goku-POV)
"Vegeta, did you want to try the other fusion now." he looked over, Frieza sneering at Kron, most likely he was about to charge in and assist his brother Cooler in trying to take out the most dangerous… and hungriest of them all first. Goku still felt bile at the thought of Kron snacking on Frieza's tail right in front of him… less so since the guy cooked it but…
"Nonsense, he's one arm and we're four together. Let's just teach this over-hyped clown what it means to be a chosen for Lord Beerus's team. These ungrateful snakes, you hear that Frieza! I'm coming to tear your other arm off!" Vegeta said, half amused, half-angered at being ignored as of these last few seconds. Frieza regarded them then, narrowed eyes and he looked to be calming down right then, breathing out.
"Oh, I haven't forgotten the loudmouth King monkey and his stooge. OK, even with one less arm I shall teach the two of you rodents what happens when you mess with Lord Frieza! HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" he begun powering up in a sudden burst, his Ki exploding forth, the air around him rippling while powerful shock waves descended upon everywhere, smashing into weakened landscapes and causing total collapses.
"Come on now, you two can take on Frieza. One less arm is a handicap for the- oh and no tail is an easy target. Seventeen, back me up with this lizard. Though I want to finish off that tail of his…" Cooler sneered as Kron mocked, his tail swishing back and forth as Goku replied, maintaining a hectic melee onslaught with Vegeta backing him up, the two of them maintaining the offensive on Frieza. That lizard couldn't even use his tail for a weapon as well, though he still had both legs.
"Alright Vegeta… lets keep it up on this guy. Quite confident to face the two of us so Vegeta, I'll sit this one out. You can fight him-"
"-Nonsense! This plebian… the one armed bastard is a handicap I didn't want ruining this bout!! If one of us has to finish this guy until he's a proper sore loser since Lord Beerus… wants the bastard, it should be you Kakarot! That 'Spirit Bomb' was from your head, wasn't it. Finish this bastard. Kron! You've fought Cooler enough, let me take the reins-"
"-Knock yourself out then Vegeta. Cooler, the king wants to have a word. If you manage to beat the cocky shit, I'll go back to knocking you around." Goku watched Kron flicker from his position in the air, Cooler dodging blows initiated by Seventeen who became the primary fighter against Cooler now while Vegeta flickered into view, his 'Super Saiyan Four' transformation intermixed with the 'Super Saiyan Blue' god-Ki as Vegeta smirked, confident. Goku's own 'Super Saiyan Three' raged around him, draining him faster then what Vegeta's form effected him, glancing down at the last bean he had. He then threw the Senzu bean right at Frieza, Goku chuckling, also confident as he uttered those words to the tyrant.
"That there is a Senzu bean if you don't know. I would eat it if I were you. Is a special food that me and my friends have easy access to. It is something to consume, to feel the effects… I won't explain more. Just, eat it. You won't regret it."
That was also his last Senzu bean he had one him, still… Goku was pretty much healed up, just a bit tired though with Towa giving them all power ups, Goku was fine to continue. Frieza seemed unsure at first, then tensing his hand that held the bean and seethed right at Goku, red eyes narrowed. Goku reckoned he'd just need a few more words to make this bully swallow the bean, for he was also sure that Frieza could heal if he had more energy, seeing that Cell was made from cells from him and even while knowing that Namekian's could heal, didn't lizards also heal?
"I'm sure you can regenerate yourself Frieza, would you give me a fair fight then seeing that I'm not going to enjoy fighting you while you're disadvantaged like this. The state of you… or do you not possess the ability to regenerate…" Goku looked on, awaiting an answer while Frieza glared down at the bean, he just watched while seeing if he could recall anything about Frieza being able to do so… nothing came to his mind.
"Hmm, I can…" he ate the bean and what a rush… which is what Goku guessed Frieza was thinking at that moment, watching his muscles tense multiple times, bulking in bursts while veins flexed… then he returned to his normal stature. His latest transformation was definitely interesting, a mix of Cooler's 'Fifth Form', Frieza's 'Third Form' and 'Golden Frieza', only instead of purple and golden, he was black and purple in color; black the primary color. Frieza flexed his power once again, this time the Ki that emerged from within him extended to four-times the size as earlier, while he cackled in place.
"Hah Heh Kek Hah! Yes, with this I can do this with some time, say… with the energy coursing through me… a minute or more. I'll do so now dumb monkey, and then I shall teach you not to regard me as handicapped, my foolish friend. I'll make you one, before I finish here!" Frieza cackled, his eyes stiffened while muscles pulsated, the arm and Goku guessed, the back where his tail used to be begun moving, tendrils of flesh fluctuating and Goku looked on with disgust when first his severed arm, then his tail slowly pushed out, at first disfigured and disgusting flesh that slowly grew, repairing in a sickening way, Ki raging in particular around the newly created limbs.
'Ew… and he looks like he's losing a lot of energy going about this process… Well, I wanted to fight him at his best and since Vegito, my and Vegeta's fusion counterpart wasn't able to beat him, I figured that I would be in for a good battle. I'm not sure I can win though so… better push myself as much as I can, before Kron will have to jump back in once again.' Goku smirked, confident enough while the anticipation begun to annoy him.
He begun powering up as well, seeing that his own Ki begun flickering form the golden of his 'Super Saiyan Three' and the blue of 'Super Saiyan Blue' then darkened into that familiar empowerment of Towa's, his strength skyrocketed as he waited patiently as he could manage.
