CHAPTER 30

He couldn't believe it! How was it possible?! He had hoped this was an illusion or a bad joke but now there was no denying it: The Saiyans were back. About half of the common soldiers were dead by now. How could this be? These soldiers down on the planet had about the average power level of a Saiyan! Had everything been fake? But that was impossible! He had blown up the planet himself! With his own bloody hands! The King had fallen by his own hands! Oh this insolent Vegeta and his monkey brats. How could they do that to him after all he went through to get rid of them?

But how? Frieza could not fathom how and what was exactly happening as he stared down on the planet that he would land on in the next minutes. Everywhere were explosions caused by ki attacks, hundreds of his soldiers lay in piles as their dead bodies were burned to ashes. It wasn't such a great loss but they had been his. They were losing. Nobody had to detect numbers, it was plain obvious that his army was loosing. Taking another sip of his wine, he told Zarbon.

''Tell Ginyu they are landing with me.''

If it was a war they wanted, a war they would get.

So far everything had gone smooth. The soldiers of Frieza had half arrived on the planet, half crash landed. Many had not survived it and so they only had to fight about two thirds of the foot soldiers. Even though they had been helplessly outnumbered the enemy was neither quite as strong nor extremely good in controlling ki. That had made them easy targets, at least the first two hours. As everywhere on Aarseth the battalions of Frieza grew thin, all Saiyan warrior's were happy to be able to track ki signatures down, especially those in the southern part or the planet. Without this technique they would have fallen helplessly into a trap and would have died because of bombs they had hid. How these guys had had the guts to kills themselves in an attempt to try to kill somebody who wasn't even their personal enemy was beyond Goku, but from what he had been told, if they failed, they would die either way. That had been one of the things that Vegeta- not the king, but Bulma's boyfriend- had said before the landing.

So far he hadn't lost any man or women of his battalion .For that he was thankful, even though he couldn't say there had been huge losses on their side anyway. Yes, somewhere during this war Goku felt a little bit 'Kakkerot' within himself. Just as he knocked out another soldier somebody called him.

He turned around and saw his brother fighting with some guy with yellow skin color. Or more like gripping him by the neck and killing him. He cringed at the sight before him, but didn't say anything. It didn't feel right to kill those guys but in the end, they would be burned away by others so he figured nobody would be mad if he just knocked them unconscious when they'd be burned away anyway.

''Kakkerot, Vegeta told me Frieza will land together with the Ginyu force in a few minutes, we are to meet them there.'' Goku only nodded to his brother and took off into the sky, following the older warrior to the meeting place. He was really eager to fight this Frieza guy for he could feel his immense power the nearer the alien came. Of course it would be Vegeta's thing to fight him. He would have liked to meet the guy and check out his techniques but he could understand that there was no room for a friendly match here. Oh well, he had heard these Ginyu guys shouldn't be too shabby either. Actually he could feel eight huge kis arriving somewhere east from where his brother and him were. There would be some fun, Goku smiled as he sped up a little, eager to fight.

The ship landed only few meters away from them just Vegeta and Bulma approached their enemies. Behind him, the prince felt his parents, Bardock with mate and sons landed just as the ship came into view.

With a smooth thud, the huge vehicle landed. The plank touched the ground and out of it stepped the enemy and his minions. The first one to step out was a huge purple alien with black horns on his bald head. Following him, were four figures with less power, but powerful nonetheless. One was taller than the first one, with blue skin, also hairless. Next to him was a huge, bulky, human-like creature. He looked rather dense, but his power level was impressive. The other two were even uglier than the ones already off the ramp, Bulma thought. One had red skin and ridiculously long, white hair. He was rather small. But the last one was a little green freak, with insignificant power. Why he was with them, everybody knew: It was Guldo. He could freeze time, Vegeta had especially warned them about him.

Goku and Radditz smirked as they saw the 'Ginyu Force'. They were easy prey, he was sure of it. Then, Frieza, Zarbon and Dodoria made their grand entrance. Zarbon risked a quick glance in Vegeta's direction and the prince nodded a short, subtle nod. Every Saiyan new that Zarbon was their ally and not the be harmed in any way. They had decided that he should stay as long as possible next to Frieza in case he got away that at least somebody knew where he went to. He gulped down a lump in his throat. He had not made any strategies with Zarbon because they had concluded that it really couldn't be predicted what Frieza would actually do. Now he regretted the decision even though he knew it wouldn't have changed his feelings. He was excited but also horribly afraid and nervous.

This was it. This was the moment he had always dreamt about while he was on the tyrant's ship. To free himself and his comrades once and for all, flee somewhere and live in peace as long as Vey gave them the strength to breath. Today, he had the chance to change it all. Vegeta promised himself that he wouldn't let this chance go to waste- He would give it his all and free his people, his mate and the universe of this abomination. Releasing a shaky breath, he stood straight and awaited a word of Frieza.

" Well, well what do we have here? My favorite monkey and his friends, all gathered to fight against me."

The Icejin looked around, and scrutinized every one of them. "Some familiar faces, I see." He looked at Bulma, which stood strong next to her mate, trying her best to not let her fear show.

"But it doesn't matter how many come, none of you stand a chance against me." His arrogant masque began to face as he went on. The rage was evident in his face now, and to his right, Vegeta could see the Ginyu Captain flinch at the sight.

"I do not know how you managed to outsmart me last time. But none of you little, worthless monkeys will live to send for help. This planet will be your GRAAAVE!" The emperor's aura flared uncontrollably, and all those who watched could feel the heat that radiated from it. Vegeta gave a short nod and all Sayins and Earthings spread and engaged in a fight with the enemy. Only the prince stood there in his fighting stance and waited for the tyrant to make the first move.

With a cry, Frieza launched froward. Vegeta jumped up in the air and flew down again and kicked his opponent, but Frieza stepped away in the last minute. The prince could see in Frieza's eyes that he had not anticipated him to be so strong. Smirking, he thought, this is only the tip of the iceberg, Frieza.

He wanted to kill the Icejin so badly right then and right now, but he knew there were others out there who would come. His father, and his brother, they would come to avenge Frieza and nobody knew of their whereabouts, especially Cooler's. He would kill him soon enough, he assured himself, but first, they had to get more information. His planet and people had just been restored again and he couldn't afford to lose them again because he was too proud to capture the tyrant.

A fist connected with his ribs and his train of though was lost. He had to concentrate on the now. Quickly recovering, he sent a blast in the tyrant's direction. Distracted by the attack, his opponent did not anticipate the sneak attack. With all his might, Vegeta kneed him in the gut. Blood came rushing out of Frieza's mouth, he stared wide-eyed at the prince. He could not believe what was happening. They were equal in power! This had to change, but before he would transform, he had to send his signal.

Before Vegeta and the surrounding fighters knew what happened, a red ki blast was sent to the sky. He looked up, not sure what to make of it. Taking advantage of the distracted fighter, Frieza sent a powerful blast through his abdomen. The pain hit him hard and he was thrown into the next tree. Gasping for air, he tried to pull himself upwards but his opponent was right in front of him, stepping on his leg and breaking it in the process. One moment, it had only been one moment in which he had been distracted, and now he would pay for it with his life. This had to be a joke! It couldn't end not, not like this!

He screamed in agony as Frieza stepped on his other leg as well, crushing the bone.

"My, my Vegeta. Don't look so frustrated. It's not over yet, you see. I could end your life quickly but that would be too merciful and you know I have never been one to show mercy. I know you Saiyans have a bond. I want you to spend your last breaths regretting your existence and the ones of your woman. "

His eyes widened at that thought. Where was she? He couldn't feel her ki in all the commotion going on around him. As he tried to feel her through the bond, he realized that she didn't respond. Bulma had to be unconscious.

"Oh Vegeta, you do underestimate me. Oh I knew from the start there was something fishy about that girl. But now I have to visit her, it is quite the way, if you know what I mean. " With that, the tyrant kicked him in the ribs and was gone before the prince had time to counter his attack. He was trying to reach out t his mate but it just wouldn't work. She was not conscious and he could not wake her in his weakened state. He shouldn't have been so sure of himself, he thought. And with that in mind, the world around him went dark.
