Why Can't You (Book 2)

Five Minutes Rise Shenron

Frieza became desperate in his attacks. As forty five minutes of painstaking failure of the monkey's defeat pressed on Frieza found himself talking, trying to bide his time before he could find a weak point in this transformation. He knew, had it been Vegeta who had transformed, that this new rise of power wouldn't be too much of a threat. With the right taunts and low down negotiations pressed he would make her crack.

However, Rikku was resilient and took no heed of his words no matter what case he made for himself. That was until he finally snapped the cork off the wine bottle.

"Humph, Super Saiyan, so out of all the monkeys in the universe one finally makes it. Vegeta was certain it was gonna be him." Frieza saw the change in her eyes and pressed further. "Poor sweet prince, for years her trained so hard to reach this pinnacle of monkey saiyan power, but alas he failed. He thought he was a jewel but he was nothing but piece dirt."

Rikku's fists clenched and she straightened her back her aura blooming high. "Shut up! Don't you dare talk bad about Vegeta! He's twice the warrior you'll ever be! I respected him; I respected his drive, his determination, and even his pride. He was a jewel... It's you who are the dirt clod!" She screamed and soared right at Frieza, for a few instances red drenched her vision and clouded her mind. Frieza took the hits but laughed.

"You are just like your father. Driven by emotion and thickheaded! You may be a Super Saiyan but you will never defeat me!"

"You're wrong." Rikku backed up letting herself calm down a bit. She kept an eye on her power level. She was still growing strong and she didn't feel too fatigued. She had plenty energy o spare. "This is the end for you. You're finished."

"What?" Frieza snarled. "Me? Finished! I am he lord of the Universe! I reign supreme against all kind! No one tells me I'm finished! Especially not a monkey girl like you!" Frieza clenched his fists. "I'd destroy us both before I let you beat me! Either was you're not making it out of here alive!"

Rikku smirked, her hands cupped in her trademark Kamehameha position. "We'll see about that."

Frieza too cupped his hands but his forward forming a triangle much like the tri beam cannon. A glowing ball of red and pink energy sparked between his fingers forming a ball and he raised it above his head. Rikku blinked and looked up at the ball her eyes widening. She got a bad vibe from that ball of energy.

"Hey guess what. I just realized how to beat you."

"How's that?" Rikku said turning her attention back to Frieza.

"Your power is incredible, but it's not just brute strength that wins. Sometimes it's the smartest who wins!" He laughed the ball growing and sparking with fierce energy. Rikku gasped and dropped her defenses.

"What is-?"

"Say goodbye to Namek!" Frieza launched it, the ball heading straight down to the planet.

"NO!" Eyes wide she watched helplessly. The ball was too fast and too sporadic to stop by hand. She could do nothing but watch the impact and the bright white glow that exploded on the surface.

"AH! Oh No!" King Kai screamed hopping in place. "What have you done Frieza?"

"King Kai what's the matter?" Yamcha quickly asked suddenly concerned over Rikku's safety.

"It's Frieza! He just blew up Namek!"

"What! What about Rikku?"

"Yeah, and Gohan, Krillen and Piccolo!"

"And Bulma!"

"They're all gone! Gone! Frieza got desperate and decided to take out the whole planet!" King Kai wanted to sob and held his face whimpering. "Oh Rikku, You should have listened and stayed away from Frieza."
