Dragon Ball Z: Paradise Found

A Sigh Before Long Homecoming

"Damn you!" Frieza hissed, clenching his fist as he threw a fit. The psychotic tyrant waved his hands up like beginning a salute, though there was no humility or respect involved. Frieza's aura brightened to a hue of bubble-gum pink as the space emperor began peeling away the crust of the ravaged planet itself and throw the galactic bites of molten stone toward the Super Saiyan.

Goku, wearing a rich smirk, didn't say a word. As the rotating system of mountain-sized stones hurled with psychic outrage sought to decimate him, the Saiyan vanished into thin air, appearing in front of Frieza and throwing a wayward jab as if to mock the colossus of psychic power. Frieza wailed backward, clutching his crushed and pouring with cherry-red nose. As the Super Saiyan tripped him up with a low-sweep and threw a forward elbow that made Frieza hear the crack of his own ribcage as his face made expressions Frieza didn't know it was capable of.

The vengeful Saiyan warrior struck his opponent with minute effort, never winding up his strikes fully and always keeping one side of his body on the defensive. Goku was like a mindful sports player who knew that a game of at least forty more minutes was ahead of him, so he needed to pace himself. Light jabs and whipping stiff kicks softened Frieza's bulky body up as the monster wheezed and panted while being the one that was receiving the punishment.

With a deafening, proud roar, Goku raised his foot up vertically, shooting Frieza into the lower levels of the atmosphere like a lifeless sack of vegetables, extending his neck to where it strained the emperor's spine and almost tearing his head clean off with a mere kick to the bottom of the chin that way. Pursuing Frieza, Goku beat his opponent down with a flurry of heated punches and kicks without leaving the battered tyrant any chance of even taking a breath in.

"What's wrong, Frieza? You said this was your full-power!" Goku taunted his enemy while flinging a Ki blast from a close distance and slapping it right into Frieza's face as the flattened murderer hurled leagues back, forcing the Super Saiyan to pursue his opponent with a shoulder tackle as Goku no longer offered his opponent the luxurious sophistication of a punch or kick, he just threw his entire body weight into the task. Crushing by Goku's crashing tackle, Frieza slammed down into a pool of magma with a whited-out eye, causing a wicked splash.

Once a shrill shriek overpowered the thunderbolts, Goku sighed, both in ease and light vexation as his opponent burst out from the magma enveloped in a protective Ki dome he had hustled up in the last microseconds before taking the scolding splash. Frieza shrieked in physical strain again, expelling the layer of oozing magma off of him as he violently dispersed the Ki bubble. The bulky alien overlord was breathing so intensely that he hunched up upon exhaling and could barely hold himself upright.

"Well, have you noticed it yet? 'Cause your Ki is getting so low that this is feeling more and more like bullying which isn't something I feel too keen on doing." Goku waved his hand to relax some of the pent-up energy within his fist and ease some stress and scrapes sticking to his knuckles after laying siege on his opponent's body for so long.

"Damn it, damn it all... And damn you most of all, Son Goku!" Frieza grabbed hold of his temples as he began losing it thoroughly. His body continued to shrink down in bulk and Frieza had to invest all of his conscious effort just staying bulked up as opposed to using his full power for what he meant to use it for which was to fight his opponent.

"That's what happens when you don't do your best. Your body and mind keep degrading from lack of challenge and eventually, you can't even tell what your best is anymore. If you keep half-assing everything you do in life, you won't even be able to handle your own best anymore because your body will be used to slacking off. The more you struggle, the more you'll just burn through what remains of your power, Frieza. This fight's over..." Goku pointed out with a stoic expression. There was a bitter-tasting pill in a remote side of his mouth too. He wasn't able to have the fight in his life because his enemy wasn't doing his hardest and wasn't even able to do so. This fight was just never meant to be.
