Unexpected Fate

Chapter 11-Another Legendary

Frieza was a monster that should not have been created nor should even exist within the universe. Had he not, many tragedies besides the ones that the Saiya-jins gone through would have been avoided; worlds would still exist and lives spared of their fate at this tyrant's hands.

There was nowhere left to run or hide. Even if he could escape, Frieza would have hunt him until the end of his lifetime and ensure that he died at his hand. All he could do to make this nightmare, this abomination leave him alone is if he took matters into his own hands. If not, then the deaths of his comrades, of his mate and his own prince would have been for naught.

This was the time to end it, to settle the long fight between the tyrant and survivors of a fading and nearly extinct race. If he failed here, then he prayed it would not have been in total vain.

"It seems you've returned... pity... I was having a lot of fun with the boy..." Frieza smirked; his voice laced with venom that could easily smother a weak, innocent life.

"Leave the boy out of our long-waged battle! Whether it it's twenty-four years ago or here in the present, your fight is with me!" Bardock pointed angrily at the monster.

"Even if it means you'll die at my hand?" Frieza questioned in a sultry voice. It was like ice and flame in a chaotic, turbulent mix that threatened to both freeze and burn him if he wasn't the least bit careful. "You must have abandoned everything the minute I killed Vegeta..."

"The hell I did!" Bardock yelled, cutting off the tyrant. "You'll pay for everything you did to us! For the fallen honor of Vegeta-sei, I will ensure your death here and now!"

Bardock lunged at Frieza and his fist crossed the monster's face. Frieza, amused at the warrior's sudden bravado, decided to acknowledge this as his death wish and kneed the Saiya-jin in the stomach. Before he could recover, the monster had already punched Bardock across the face before grabbing at the tail, the Saiya-jin's Achilles' heel. Crying out in such horrid pain, Bardock nearly lost the ability to breathe, to speak, and even to pay attention to anything. All that he felt was utter pain as the blows hit him from his face to his chest and stomach.

Suddenly, the vice that held him hostage to his own defeat was scorn from his body and he stumbled forward in mid-air. Though he was heavily affected by the adjusted buoyancy of his tail being severed from his body, the utter, intensive pain he had gone through moments ago wasn't worth showing on the battle field. He looked back and noticed Frieza throwing the tail into the vat of lava below; heavily annoyed that he no longer had an ante in what he had hoped to be a one-sided fight. The said fight should have been a merciless slaughter of another that couldn't summon the strength to fight back.

"Damn your tail for coming off at a time where I was insured to destroy the last one of you dirty monkeys!" Frieza cursed angrily; the veins seeming to bulge on his face in pure anger. His muscles expanded roughly against his skin; stretching it abnormally with a sickening sound. How much more power did this demon from hell have that he had yet to use against them? Where was his limit? "Prepare to die!"

"NO!" Gohan yelled before lunging into battle against the beast and taking the older warrior's place when he was still attempting to right himself in the air.

"Kid, you should get out of here," Bardock yelled. "I'm sure your father wouldn't want you going to die here against that bastard..."

"I can't run away now! I have to get him for dad!" Gohan yelled back; determined despite the world ending around them to take Frieza down once and for all; to avenge the lives of the ones they had lost.
