Dragon Ball Z: Paradise Found

An End To Tyranny!?

"This guy's absolutely insane," Goku entered a fighting stance alongside his friends. "As much as I hate to say it, fighting him all together is the only chance of pulling it through here."

"It's just like us to pick a fight with a crazy monster like that," Yamcha lamented.

"We can't help it. Unless we deal with this guy, we can't take off for Earth," Krillin replied with a wayward glance.

"Careful, Krillin!" Chiaotzu squeaked out.

"Oh, there's absolutely no use in trying to hide your miserable, insignificant planet from me. I can assure you that I already know the planet you've strung this plan together from, and I intend on making sure it dies a hellish and miserable death. I know of ways to cook a planet's population for what feels like a lifetime before the planet explodes," Frieza's face twisted in a psychopathic smile.

"I guess there's no other way then," Chayote gulped it down and floated out in front of Krillin and Yamcha with a neutral fighting stance. "We have to fight."

Chayote rushed onward alongside Goku. The two mingled and switched sides to throw Frieza off-guard and to confuse him about the side they'd be attacking him from. Goku shuffled out in front of Chayote. Frieza didn't appear bothered by this combined offensive at all as he maintained a neutral and bemused stance. With a goofy chuckle, Goku's image blurred and disappeared before approaching Frieza with Chayote driving her arm into Frieza's throat with a charging clothesline, but it felt like a stick hitting an iron pole as pain reverberated throughout Chayote's arm making it go numb. Frieza didn't move.

With Chayote leaning down, Goku charged in from over her head with a diving kick. As surly as always, the psycho space emperor raised his arm up and put it in front of him to block Goku's diving kick. The two collided with a thunderous shock wave that quickly dissipated. The goofy Saiyan threw a flurry of strikes, all of which Frieza carefully weaved out of and avoided. Chayote blinked in from behind the tyrant and began striking at the same time from behind Frieza, but the cruel sovereign began dodging Goku while deflecting Chayote's strikes at the same time, offering both of the Saiyans half of his body to deal with them.

Seeing Goku transitioning into slower power strikes, Chayote took it as a signal that her partner was ready for a more powerful combination attack to finish their warm-up. Where Goku attacked with an overhead slamming cross, Chayote rushed onward with a knee strike, when Goku threw a crushing uppercut, Chayote tried slamming her arms down with a hammering double ax handle slam but Frieza's arms and legs found their way to absorb the shock with no damage or discomfort to the emperor himself.

Frieza shrieked, extending his arms to the sides. Chayote gasped as the air she had been preserving in her lungs froze there and couldn't move anywhere nor could it sate her need for oxygen anymore. It had been as if someone had robbed her body of any semblance of control completely. An overwhelming telekinetic force yanked the two Saiyans aside while Frieza extended his fingers at both of them and fired off two stray pink Death Beams at each of them.

Both Chayote and Goku clenched their teeth and grunted, realizing that in Frieza's stranglehold they had no chance of dodging this attack. They were sitting ducks and if that beam hit them–they may have outright died. Time slowed down as their inevitable deaths closed in and a pink gleam filled their vision, but then... Nothing. The air frozen in Chayote's lungs rushed right out as the Saiyan grabbed her throat and coughed up while her breathing resumed. Goku looked similarly rattled. The two Death Beams flew stray across and pierced a couple of mountains on the horizon and detonated in a pair of pink, flashing domes of rumbling energy.

"The beams... Missed us?" Chayote muttered. It seemed to her as if their deaths were a done deal just now. It made little sense for Frieza to miss both of such simple shots.
