The Saiyan Priestess

Chapter 13: Like Father Like Daughter

The battle between Frieza and Goku begins as they seem perfectly equivalent for some time in terms of strength and speed. During the match, Goku seems to have more clever ideas on how to fight and tricked Frieza several times. Goku used to his advantage the fact that Frieza needed to see his opponent and was unable to feel their energy.

While Goku was underwater during one attack, he used the Kamehameha wave as torpedoes to trick Frieza.

Frieza then revealed that he was only using about a fraction of his power and that he'll power up to 50%, which turned the tables in his favor.

"I won't lose to you! For Tengoku, for Raditz and Vegeta, for Chichi, for Namek and Earth, I won't ever give up!" He was suddenly covered in that eerie red Ki once more, only this time it was at a much higher level than usual, "Kaio-ken, times twenty!"

Goku then summoned his power before stopping Frieza, "KAA... MEE... HAA... MEE... HAAA!"

Frieza snarled, trying to stop the Kamehameha wave with his hands. It was a few seconds later that he realized he could not and resorted to a desperate move as he blasted his own Ki into Goku's to neutralize them both. After the smoke faded, Goku was hovering in the air and panting quite harshly. Frieza curled his lip, looking quite furious as Goku frowned deeply.

"Impossible! He's still in one piece?" He mumbled, disbelieving that Frieza could be so powerful, "So, he wasn't bluffing about using only half of his power?"

That was far too close for comfort, Frieza thought, not amused, How does a creature so low as a Saiyan possess such unbelievable strength? He glanced down at his burnt hands, clenching them when his anger only seemed to rise higher at the sight of his burnt flesh.

"You filthy Saiyan monkey!" He landed on the ground only a few meters away from the panting Goku. "Impressive, I actually felt that! A little too much!" He charged forward, headbutting Goku quite ruthlessly. The Saiyan flew backward, sliding roughly into the ground and finally grinding to a halt several feet away.

Goku slowly managed to his hands and knees while Frieza slowly, but deliberately walked up to him. Goku glared up defiantly, bracing himself for another merciless hit, though arms wrapped around his chest instead. Frieza threw an icy piercing stare at Kirara who took Goku to a less dangerous position. Suddenly it was Tengoku who saved him.

"Daddy, are you okay?" Tengoku asked, worried.

"I... I don't think I can keep this up for much longer," Goku panted, "That Kaio-ken times twenty almost took all of my remaining energy to use. I'm through."

Having no choice, Goku prepared the Spirit Bomb in desperation as he suggested Tengoku take down Frieza with Piccolo, Kirara, and Raditz while gathering up energy for the attack.

The Spirit Bomb is the last thing I wanted to use, Goku thought as he watched Tengoku try to keep Frieza distracted long enough, If I mess up, then I could end up destroying Planet Namek instead! But if I don't hit Frieza with this, the entire universe will be under his feet! It's drastic, but it's all I've got left!

Tengoku didn't flinch when Frieza slammed his fist into her small cheek and responded with a harsh kick to his shin.

"Now what could your daddy be doing over there?" Frieza asked in a dangerously curious voice, eyeing Goku's motionless stance, not noticing how sparkling life energy flowed from the surrounding environment and atmosphere to form a giant ball of Ki above them.
