14 scenes, 287 lines

1. The End of Planet Vegeta, before the battle

6 lines

This is going to change everything! The planet's fate. My fate. Kakarot's fate. And, of course...

YOURS!

Frieza (1st Form)

...

When Bardock, Goku's father, discovered that Frieza planned to wipe out both Planet Vegeta and the Saiyans together, he boldly went out to fight against Frieza by himself.

Just at that moment, a space pod carrying the newborn low-class warrior, Goku, was launched on a trajectory headed straight for Earth...

Frieza (1st Form)

Annihilating the Saiyans was indeed a correct decision...

2. The End of Planet Vegeta, after the battle

8 lines
Bardock

This is it!

H-Huh?

Ho ho ho ho!

AAAAGHHHHH!

Zarbon, Dodoria! Look at the spectacle unfolding before us!

Have you ever seen such brilliant fireworks? Ho ho ho ho!

Frieza laughed while watching Planet Vegeta exploded into pieces. He had always wanted to pluck out the possibility that a Super Saiyan might arise among the emerging Saiyans.

However, Frieza didn't know. A space pod carrying a Saiyan infant had escaped the explosion, and was en route to a distant planet, Earth.

3. Frieza's Premonition, before the battle

21 lines

After finding out the existence of the wish- granting Dragon Balls, Frieza set off to Planet Namek to search for them, in hope of using eternal life and youth to strengthen his throne.

But one of the surviving Saiyans, Vegeta, was also there. Just like Frieza, he started attacking the Namekians to collect the Dragon Balls. As a result, Frieza ordered his men to take care of the defiant Vegeta... And then...

Vegeta (Evil)

Zarbon. Fancy seeing you again. A lot has changed.

Dodoria went the way of the dodo. Guess who's next?

Zarbon

Vegeta... Why do you persist in this pointless defiance of Lord Frieza?

Vegeta (Evil)

Simple. I have hated Frieza for a long time.

No self-respecting Saiyan could stomach being ordered around by the likes of that...

Zarbon

...

Vegeta (Evil)

I've respected the hard reality of his sheer power as long as I had to...

But now that I know there's a source for eternal life...

Zarbon

You mean the Dragon Balls.

Vegeta (Evil)

Frieza will never have them!

And once they're mine, even he cannot kill me!

Zarbon

Do you think you can defeat Lord Frieza, with just eternal life?

Vegeta (Evil)

Pity your scouters were destroyed... Or you'd see that I've increased my power beyond your imagination!

Zarbon

Feh... You're the one who doesn't see...

Lord Frieza's capabilities transcend anything you can comprehend...

Vegeta (Evil)

Will you gutless sycophants never admit the truth?!

Dodoria left me with some interesting information. Frieza feared the Saiyans! Allow me to show you why! Behold my Saiyan might!

Zarbon

Arrogant fool!

What Lord Frieza feared was your numbers! One ant is nothing without its army!

4. Frieza's Premonition, after the battle

42 lines

After countless battles, Vegeta's strength had increased more than anyone could imagine... In order to fight against Vegeta, Zarbon trans- formed to awaken his dormant power!

Vegeta (Evil)

I-Is this really Zarbon? But how...?

Super Zarbon

I told you, Vegeta... You have only yourself to blame for being surprised...

Let me tell you something else to ponder in your afterlife...

Vegeta (Evil)

...Uhh...!

Super Zarbon

Lord Frieza is also a being with the ability to transform!

Vegeta (Evil)

What?!

Super Zarbon

If you cannot beat me, your chances against him are infinitesimal!

Having transformed, Zarbon defeated Vegeta with ease. He then reported back to Frieza on the spaceship.

Zarbon

Lord Frieza. I have personally taken care of Vegeta.

Frieza (1st Form)

My, my. Then you transformed? It's been some time since you pulled that old trick.

And what of the royal brat? Dead, I presume?

Zarbon

I cannot say.

I did not confirm the corpse, sir... But even if he survived, he should be seriously injured.

Frieza (1st Form)

In other words, you didn't bother to look for a body.

Zarbon

I apologize, my lord! I shall depart at once to check!

Appule

Lord Frieza! We found a Namekian village!

B-But... It had already been laid to waste when we arrived.

Frieza (1st Form)

Excuse me?

Zarbon

Vegeta's doing...? B-But he had no Dragon Balls when I encountered him!

That schemer! He hid it somewhere!

Frieza (1st Form)

Zarbon. I order you to bring Vegeta to me, immediately!

Let's hope he is alive after all...for your sake.

Zarbon

Yes, my lord!

Frieza (1st Form)

I have a task for you too, Appule!

Contact the Ginyu Force. Tell them I request their presence here!

Appule

Yes, sir!

Zarbon

My lord? If I may ask... Why the Ginyu Force?

I do not believe there is a need to enlist their services.

Frieza (1st Form)

I have a feeling this whole debacle could escalate further...

Zarbon

...A feeling, my lord?

Frieza (1st Form)

Something tells me that a powerful Saiyan will rise to become my nemesis.

At first, I thought this threat would take the form of Vegeta.

Zarbon

S-Sir, surely your worry is unwarranted.

The only other Saiyans besides Vegeta are the one on a planet called Earth and his offspring.

Frieza (1st Form)

Oh? Do you mean to suggest that I could be mistaken?

Your place is to obey, not object! Now bring me Vegeta!

Zarbon

Yes, my lord!

Frieza (1st Form)

Saiyan vermin... It seems their potential is limitless after all. Growing stronger with every fight...

Still no chance against me. However, they must be plucked as the weeds they are. The future depends on it.

No Super Saiyan must be allowed to rise.

Frieza's wariness of Saiyans' ability to get stronger after every fight was back. Would the powerful Saiyan who can threaten Frieza...the legendary Super Saiyan... finally emerge?

5. Ginyu Force vs. the Saiyan, before the battle

15 lines

Vegeta swooped in and took the Dragon Balls from Frieza. Being tricked by Vegeta, Frieza was furious. At this moment, the Ginyu Force finally arrived.

Together we make the Ginyu Force!!!

I've been waiting for you...

The Ginyu Force retrieved all Dragon Balls from Vegeta almost instantly. ...Then a Saiyan from Earth appeared in front of the Ginyu Force...

Jeice

Now this fool needs a lesson from Captain Ginyu!

Goku

...

Captain Ginyu

This is him...?

I estimate his true power to be around 60000...

60000?!

No Saiyan ever got near any 60000!

Captain Ginyu

It's not impossible. He must be a mutation like us... Born as a gifted fighter.

Well... This may be the battle I've been waiting for...

Goku

All right. Sorry to have to do this after you just showed up, but I'm gonna have to finish this quick.

Captain Ginyu

Ha ha ha! Mighty confident, aren't we?

I'll turn that face of yours inside out!

6. Ginyu Force vs. the Saiyan, after the battle

19 lines

Power level 180000...?!

Is this real?! Is this your power...?!

N-No wonder he creamed us...

Even the captain's top strength is 120000... But...how could a Saiyan c-come this far...?!

Goku

Let me tell you just one more thing... This is nothing compared to when I use my power in bursts!

You... You must be...the legend! The Super Saiyan!

Goku

Vegeta said something about that too.

I wish somebody would explain it.

The...Super Saiyan...?! The mightiest warrior... in the cosmos?!

The only thing... that Lord Frieza himself ever feared?!

Goku

Do you see? You can't win. I don't want to waste time fighting.

You'd better leave this planet.

Wh- What...?!

Are... Are you serious?!

Goku

You don't seem like as bad a guy as those others. I don't want to kill you.

Captain Ginyu

You don't want to waste time fighting?! You don't want to kill me?! The legend of the Super Saiyan holds that he will love bloodshed and battle above all!

You... You're NO Super Saiyan! You may have tried to become one, but you've failed!

Goku

...?

Goku had displayed an overwhelming power over Captain Ginyu. Although Goku had yet to become a Super Saiyan, his power level had far exceeded a Saiyan's. Could Goku be the powerful foe whom Frieza feared?

7. Frieza's Fury, before the battle

10 lines

Frieza made his wish of eternal life upon the Dragon Balls, which were retrieved by the Ginyu Force. However, there was no response from the Dragon Balls, and his body had not changed, either.

Frieza then realized there was a secret spell only known to the Namekians. To make his wish, Frieza set off to where the Grand Elder Guru lived. ...But a Namekian warrior stood in his way.

Nail

I won't tell an evil person how to make wishes with the Dragon Balls.

Frieza (1st Form)

Eh?! Your power level, it jumped to 42000?

Well, then... I almost want you as one of my men...

Nail

...

Frieza (1st Form)

I should warn you about my own power level, in the interest of fairness.

Nail

...?

Frieza (1st Form)

You see, sir, it's 530000.

But don't worry, I don't plan to fight you at full strength.

8. Frieza's Fury, after the battle

14 lines
Nail

Nn...nnh... Gah!

Frieza (1st Form)

This will be my last warning.

Tell me the incantation, or you will die.

Nail

Heh... Heh... heh...

I-It's too late, even if I tell you now...

Frieza (1st Form)

Too late...?!

Nail

By now... Dende will have reached the Earthlings...

...and told them what you want to know so much.

Frieza (1st Form)

Wh- What?!

Blast you!!! So you were only buying time!!!

The readings of the Ginyu Force are gone...!!! Impossible... All five of them...!!! They couldn't be dead...?!

Something's happened between Vegeta, the Earthlings, and the Ginyu Force!!!

And the Dragon Balls were... Curse them all!!!

Frieza's fury exploded... His dream of eternal life was destroyed by the Saiyans and the Earthlings, those he deemed as lower lifeforms. Would the final battle begin at once due to Frieza's furious outburst?

9. Fates Finally Crossed, before the battle

54 lines

Frieza's rage reached breaking point after his dream of eternal life was shattered. He took no time in transforming into his true form and doled out punishment to the traitor Vegeta and the Earthlings who were with him. As Frieza illustrated the vast gap between their power, a certain Saiyan appeared...

Goku

So you're Frieza, huh?

Somehow you're smaller than I expected.

Frieza (Final Form)

Another vermin still lurking about...

Goku

Vegeta and I promised to fight each other again.

Don't interfere.

Frieza (Final Form)

...

Hmm...? Something's familiar about this one...

Vegeta (Evil)

K-Kakarot... You...came...

Frieza (Final Form)

Kakarot...?! But that name means... You're a Saiyan!

Ah...!

You look just like him! That one Saiyan who tried to resist me as I eliminated his planet!

Vegeta (Evil)

S-Something's different about Kakarot... He's surpassed his limits once again...

It can't be... Has he become... a Super Saiyan?!

Frieza (Final Form)

I refuse to allow even one Saiyan to live!

You're quite the fool. You should have just accepted your fate.

Goku

Maybe you're right...

Vegeta (Evil)

Frieza...! Don't take him lightly...!

H-He is your nightmare made manifest! He is the...Super Saiyan!

Heh heh heh... Frieza... You're through...!

It's time for you to suffer!

Frieza (Final Form)

I've told you already...

I don't want to hear any of your pitiful attempts at humor.

Goku

Hey! Vegeta could barely move, let alone fight back!

What's the point in finishing him off?!

Vegeta (Evil)

Y-You're still as soft-hearted as ever, Kakarot...

You ought to toughen up a little! Throw away that sentimentality and you could become...a Super Saiyan!

Goku

Sorry, but I can't be as cold as you are, no matter what.

Not only that, I don't even know what this Super Saiyan is supposed to be...

Vegeta (Evil)

Well, let me tell you, Kakarot... Ngh... Gagh!

Goku

Don't say anymore! It's just worsening your condition!

Vegeta (Evil)

Kakarot... How do you think Planet Vegeta, the world where you and I were born...was destroyed...?

It wasn't a meteor that wiped it and our people out...

Frieza (Final Form)

You talk a lot for someone who got shot through the heart.

How long do you intend to prattle on?

Vegeta (Evil)

I-It was him! Frieza blew it up!

We Saiyans did just as he commanded... We were his hands... his muscles...

Goku

...!

Vegeta (Evil)

Everyone but us was killed... Your parents... My father, the king...

He killed them all because he feared that a Super Saiyan would arise from among them...

Frieza (Final Form)

Hmph... Spare me.

Vegeta (Evil)

So, please... I beg you... Defeat Frieza... Please...

He must die... by Saiyan hands...

Goku

...Vegeta...

For you to shed tears... not to mention asking for my help... It must've really hurt you...

Frieza (Final Form)

I never thought he'd stop his babbling.

Now then... Let us resume the show.

Goku

Vegeta... I hated you at first, but I began to understand over time... you're a proud Saiyan warrior.

Just know this. I'll do what I can to carry on that pride of yours.

Frieza (Final Form)

...

Goku

I am... a Saiyan raised on the planet Earth!

Now, for the sake of all the Saiyans you killed, and also all the Namekians you slaughtered...

I will put an end to you!

Frieza (Final Form)

Pointless chatter.

10. Fates Finally Crossed, after the battle

6 lines
Frieza (Final Form)

Is he really a Saiyan?!

I have seen countless worthless insects overestimate their strength and try to defy me, but I've never seen a Saiyan like this before...

Goku

Don't treat other people's planets like this! What're you gonna do if it blows up?!

Frieza (Final Form)

Keh keh keh.

Let's put an end to the warm-up, shall we? I think it's time for me to go full throttle...

The emperor of the universe, Frieza, versus the Saiyan from Earth, Goku. Their fates had finally crossed. A clash of fierce skills and overwhelming power was about to begin! Who would emerge victorious in this epic battle?!

11. Frieza's First Taste of Humiliation and Despair, before the battle

27 lines

"He may have strength, but at the end of the day he's a mere Saiyan..." Frieza was sure that only half of his strength was required to fell Goku. However, Goku was able to strike back with his final trump card, the Spirit Bomb, and deal heavy damage to Frieza who was caught unawares.

Frieza (Final Form)

W-Well played. Even I thought I was done for.

You managed to put me on the ropes...

Goku

Krillin, Gohan! Get outta here now!

Take Bulma and get off this planet!

Krillin

As if! What do you take us for?! We can't just abandon you!

Goku

Just go already! You'll just get in the way!

Or do you all WANT to die?!

Frieza (Final Form)

You think I'd allow them to waltz their way out of here? Not one of you leaves this planet alive...

I may have suffered a little damage, but I am still capable of eradicating vermin like you!

Krillin

Ngh... Waaaah!

Goku

No! S-Stop it! FRIEZAAA!!

Krillin

Gokuuu!

Gohan (Battle Suit)

...!

Frieza (Final Form)

Heh heh heh...

So...who's next? The child, perhaps?

Goku

Y-You're not... gonna get away with this...

I just...won't... let you...

Gohan (Battle Suit)

D... Dad...?

Frieza (Final Form)

Wh... What the...?!

Goku

Gohan... Take Piccolo and return to Earth!

He's alive, but barely.

Gohan (Battle Suit)

B-B- But...

Goku

Get out of here while I still have some control over myself!

Gohan (Battle Suit)

O... Okay...!

Frieza (Final Form)

What the... He's transformed...?

But I thought Saiyans could only turn into apes... What's going on?!

12. Frieza's First Taste of Humiliation and Despair, after the battle

12 lines
Goku

So the monster who can destroy a planet can't even destroy a little man...

Frieza (Final Form)

J-Just who are you?!

Like you don't already know!

I'm a Saiyan who came all the way from Earth for the purpose of defeating you!

Goku

I am the legendary warrior, with a pure heart awakened by rage...

Goku... the Super Saiyan!!

Frieza (Final Form)

A warrior with a pure heart awakened by rage, you say...

Hah. That would explain why that fool Vegeta could never become one.

Goku

...

Frieza (Final Form)

This is the greatest shame I've had to bear! Me! Lord Frieza!

I-Impossible! I refuse to believe it! This is a nightmare that I thought would never happen!

There was only one thing that Frieza feared: the legendary warrior, the Super Saiyan. And now, here one stood before him. Having run out of options, Frieza planned a last-ditch attempt to kill Goku by eliminating Planet Namek along with him...

13. Deadly Showdown, And..., before the battle

10 lines

Pushed to the brink, Frieza unleashed a powerful strike, leaving Planet Namek mere moments away from exploding... To end the battle and destroy the Super Saiyan before the explosion, Frieza finally decided to unleash 100% of his power!

Frieza (Final Form)

85%...

90%...

Goku

I'm waiting for you to reach full power, Frieza.

Then I'm going to defeat you, warrior to warrior, just as it should be.

Apologies to keep you waiting. As requested, I am now at full power.

Goku

Time's running short.

Let's hurry up and finish this.

Frieza (Full Power)

Allow me to compliment you before you return to nothingness. The strength of a Super Saiyan is quite something!

I would say you're the strongest in the universe, but unfortunately that position belongs to me!

14. Deadly Showdown, And..., after the battle

43 lines

Burning with a desire for revenge, Frieza struck out at Goku, only to meet his end due to his own attack... Finally, their long battle seemed to have reached its conclusion. However...

Frieza (Full Power)

Agh... Ngraaagh!

Goku

You dug your own grave, but this end is an unsightly one, even for you...

Frieza (Full Power)

Grr... Dammit...! Damn it all!

Goku

Now if you don't mind, I'll head back to Earth...

And you will die alongside the planet you chose to destroy.

Frieza (Full Power)

Rnnnngh... Please...

He...lp... Help me... Please!

Goku

...

Frieza (Full Power)

Help... Help me...!

Goku

And why exactly should I help you?!

How many others have you killed who pleaded for their lives like this?

Frieza (Full Power)

Please... I beg you!

Goku

...

Hmgh!

There. I gave you some of my Ki.

You should at least be able to move, even in that state. But now you're on your own!

Frieza (Full Power)

Well... Color me surprised.

To think...that you would actually grant me some of your energy...

Goku

You said you can survive even in space, right? Better leave this planet while there's still time.

Live, and learn to cherish life from now on!

Frieza (Full Power)

Planet Namek is already about to explode... Where are you going to go?

No matter where you go, space will kill you in the end. The only thing awaiting you is death!

Goku

You're right. There's no time for me to return to the spaceship I came in.

So I thought I'd take yours instead.

Frieza (Full Power)

Ha ha ha! Vegeta already wrecked it. You'll never get it off the ground!

Oh, the sweet irony... You won the fight, and yet it is you who will die, while I survive!

Goku

...

I will not die here.

Frieza (Full Power)

I'm the strongest in the universe! And that is why...

...I'm going to destroy you personally...!

You must die by my hand!!!

You fool!!!

Goku

...

Frieza had truly lost to Goku, and Planet Namek was vaporized... Yet among the rubble of the planet, Frieza floated, barely clinging onto life. Even at the final moment, Goku was far too soft- hearted to deal the finishing blow.

Eventually, while floating through space, Frieza was saved by his father, King Cold. His damaged flesh was repaired with machine parts, and eventually he was reborn.

Mecha Frieza

Set a course for Earth, father.

King Cold

Earth? Why do you want to go to a backwater planet like that?

Mecha Frieza

Why? To defeat the Super Saiyan.

King Cold

A-Absurd! A Super Saiyan truly exists?

Mecha Frieza

He knows nothing of the pain I suffered nor the irreparable damage done to my pride...

I will make sure he feels this pain many times over!

Frieza's heart burned with his desire to enact vengeance upon Goku! Would the power of his hatred be enough to take down the Super Saiyan? The emperor had returned from the brink of death, ready to begin a new battle...
