An unintelligible roar made Frieza's more sensitive eye wince as Chayote launched herself in a wide-open charge, looking to butt horns with the emperor she once recognized as the supreme authority and whose validation she sought for most of her life. Frieza extended his hand, stopping Chayote in her tracks as an invisible force clenched her throat. With a sly smile, Frieza clenched his hand to snap the Saiyan's neck at once the Saiyan flexed and shattered the telekinetic hold over her with only momentary delay.

"Wh-What!?" Frieza's left eye blew out in shock. "N-Now wait just a..."

Before he could finish the sentence, Chayote spun in like a whirlwind, throwing a backhand smack across Frieza's cheek and sending him crashing through a couple of hills and leaving carved ridges across the battlefield. Just as Frieza wrestled himself back up, Chayote blinked all up in his face with a twisted scowl, seething in wrath as she threw another backhand, sending Frieza flying up.

The propelling tyrant rumbled and wriggled himself to gaze downward and prepare to punish the Saiyan wench that laid hands on him twice already now, managing to graze him and to draw a meager glimpse of blood from his cracked lip. The Saiyan had vanished by the time Frieza looked down. With infernal curses that were very much unlike his faux politeness, Frieza raced to turn behind him, but he only received a faceful of an exploding energy sphere he crashed into. It was a massive energy ball exploding out from Chayote's chest, detonated by her wild howl.

The rampaging Saiyan roared wildly, exploding in a jade-colored bubble of Ki that expanded around her as she breathed out heatwaves of infernal hue from her mouth with each wrathful breath. Her golden eyes trembled in madness while Chayote grabbed hold of her head and began struggling against the overwhelming rush of power, or rather, look for less destructive ways of expelling the building up Ki rather than erupting in an explosive wave that could blink out the entirety of Planet Vegeta in a second.

"You dare...?" Frieza shrieked, aiming his finger toward Chayote as she howled and tried flexing away the overflowing force that circulated throughout her body. "You dare!?" he yelled out while firing a triplet of Death Beams at the Saiyan, throwing his finger at her with dastardly pokes as he continued his ceaseless barrage of attacks though the beams appeared to dissipate in the growing bubble of energy around Chayote.

"FRIEZA!" Chayote's voice rumbled in an inhuman tone. She threw her entire body with reckless abandon, crashing back down, looking to stomp and bash her opponent's brain in and out into the open, but the very energy bubble surrounding her squashed Frieza into gravel first. The smooshed space emperor twitched underneath the invisible pressure while Chayote's bubble detonated in a shower of stray Ki blasts spreading throughout the area like a blizzard.

Just as Frieza began seeing it straight again, a rough yank caught him by the tail and the tyrant fell, a merciless yank that lifted him over Chayote's head. The maddened Saiyan spun her enemy over her head, smashing him all around her while holding Frieza's tail until she figured she was growing bored with such a rudimentary method of attack and slammed her foot over prone Frieza's head while still controlling his tail. Frieza's shrill scream filled the area as the Saiyan did her best to rip her opponent into two by pulling him by the tail while still stomping on his head, tugging and wrenching the subdued space emperor in all directions to see if she could dislocate or dismember anything, just experimenting with his newfound, escalating force of brutality she's awoken into.

"Chayote's winning!" Krillin cheered on his friend from as far away as possible so that neither of them became an accidental victim of the Saiyan's rampage. "Incredible! She's actually handing it to Frieza!"

"No way, Frieza's just been caught off-guard, that's all. The difference between their power is too great," Yamcha disagreed with Krillin's assessment. "This... Seeing Chayote power up to her very limit and lose her sanity and measuring the remaining gap between her and Frieza... Frieza's Ki got to be dozens of times higher than Chayote's right now."
