Part 2, Chapter 5: Time for Vengeance!

Alright, you punks!

Slaughter fake Frieza and all his men!

Yeaaah!!

Make 'em pay!

Get 'em!!

...My goodness. What useless underlings, fooled by a fake or not!

Lord Frieza! Allow the Force to handle this! Come on, let's go!

Yeaaaah!

Taah!

Traagh!

Recoome Kick!

Take this!

Ghhk!

Geh heh heh... Not even a scratch!

Hmph! These guys...

Did they power up using the Fruit of the Tree of Might?!

Ga ha ha ha! Look at them swarming like ants! Now this is what I call fun!

You're...!!

Here he is!

...So you're...Lord Frieza?

It's that pale guy from before!

So you showed your face.

Vegeta... Nappa... and Shallot...

I know everything there is to know about you... You have no chance.

Heh. Funny joke there.

Let's see if you're right!

Take this!!

Hya ha!

Haaangh!

Hngh? What?! He absorbed my Ki ...with his hand?!

Shallot! Don't fire any energy at him!

He's got the strange ability to absorb energy with the palm of his hand!

Guess that leaves the direct option...

Time to beat him down!

Let's go!

This is unlike the data I measured before...!

Hah! We Saiyans keep evolving every time we fight...

Your data's not going to do you much good for long!

Gah!

Now say your prayers!

I have no need for prayers.

However strong you may be, we clearly have the numbers advantage.

Tch. You need to learn when to give up!

Alright, bring it on! That's right, all of you!

I'll take you all out!!

Gahh...aagh...!

Hah ha ha ha! He was a lot more fun than those weaklings over there!

Still... There's no end to 'em! I'm not gonna last at this rate!

Hah! Whining already? Pathetic! Do I need to send you back to endurance training?

Come on, don't remind me of that! I've already done a lifetime's worth!

Tch. They've all powered up using the Fruit of the Tree of Might.

They're no problem on their own... But we're going to be in trouble if we have to keep fighting.

Then what're we gonna do?!

Hmph. Just watch. If I'm not mistaken, the battle's about to change.

Hnngrah!

How are they so strong?!

Hold on... A-Are we really facing a fake Lord Frieza...?

C-Could that one be the real one?!

...Yeek!

...

Ugh... Hold yourselves together. ...Then again, this might be all I can expect from foot soldiers.

Fine, then... I see it's time for my next move!

All men, stop fighting!

...!

I have to hand it to you. As the true Universal Emperor, you do make quite the impression.

Even the dumbest soldier will notice you're the real deal. I suppose this is as far as they can be fooled...

Hmph. So? Here to wave the white flag? Just what are you planning?

Oh, not quite yet! That will have to wait. Anyway, you'll want to hear this.

Our "Lord Frieza" has recognized your strength. He wants to meet and talk.

What's that? You want peace negotiations? Do you really think I would accept now?

Yes, I do. That's exactly what I think.

...!

After all, you'll get to meet the one behind all of this, the one who's been toying with you until now.

You want to end him yourself, don't you?

Hm. You know me well...

And since the soldiers have started to realize you're the real one...

What point is there in losing any more of your own forces?

Heh. I don't know what you're plotting...

...But fine. I'll accept your request.

I do indeed have a number of things I'd like to ask this self-proclaimed Frieza.

Heh. I expected as much from the Universal Emperor. So we have a deal!

Lord Frieza! Please wait!

We don't know what kind of trap the enemy might have planned. Allow us to accompany you!

...Hm.

Hah. So untrusting. But whatever, that's fine with me.

I think it would be impossible to put me at a disadvantage, no matter what trap may be laid...

...But fine. I'll need to bring an underling or two for proper appearances, anyway. Oh ho ho!

Vegeta, you and your men come with me. The Ginyu Force will wait outside.

Thank you very much!

Huh? What's going on? We're gonna talk instead of fight? Damn, that's boring.

Stop dawdling and come with me!

Seems fishy to me... Can we really trust Turles?

That's why we're on guard duty! Now stop whining and follow me!

Sheesh! What's his problem all of a sudden?

(How could I let this perfect chance get away? I'll get their boss and Frieza to fight and take each other out!)

So this is what the inside of a spaceship looks like...

Stop gawking, Shallot! This is an enemy hideout!

Yeah, yeah...

...

Okay, we're here. This is the room.

Who do we have here? Welcome, everyone.

So you command this army... We meet at last.

So this is the fake Frieza? He's so simple. Even less impressive than I imagined...

Don't judge a book by its cover...! He's a lot tougher than you think!

Nice to meet you. My name is Frost. As you all can tell, I am not Frieza...

I must say, Frieza. I'm impressed by the way you've been able to turn things around...

Enough small talk! Frost... Why are you doing this?

Heh heh. So you want to cut to the chase? Fine, then.

This...is my revenge on you!

Your...revenge? How strange. We're meeting for the first time. I have no recollection of such hatred...

You may not remember...but I do.

...In my era, there was a martial arts tournament known as "The Tournament of Power".

You and I were working together during this tournament.

But then, Frieza, you tricked me! And you won it all!

(His power level keeps rising... And it doesn't seem like he's in a talking mood. Perfect!)

I'll never forgive you for that humiliation! I won't rest easy until I get payback!

...

So I decided to start by humiliating the Frieza that's been called to this era in the same way.

So... Isn't Frieza just a bystander here?

D-Don't ask me!

How I enjoyed watching you fret as your former underlings treated you as a fake! Tell me, how do you feel now?

Really. So that's what was going on? What a tedious reason for it all...

Excuse me?!

You used my precious underlings to prepare this grand farce for such a childish reason?

I'm simply flabbergasted. I can't even get angry at this.

What did you just say?!

Well, of course it's only natural for trash like you to be made a fool of.

What?! Even your past self dares to treat me like a pushover?!

I brought you here to see your face twisted by frustration...

This is where you die, Frieza!!

Hmph! If anyone's dying today...it's you!

I knew it! They going to fight! Shallot! Pull back for now!

Hold on one second!

Turles!

Tch! Of all the times...!

Looks like negotiations have broken down. So sorry... You're going to have to die here!

Hah! So now you show your true colors. We never trusted the likes of you from the start, anyway!

Heh heh... Now this is why I like dealing with fellow Saiyans!

Gah... You really are...good! Prince Vegeta... Now I see why they call you a genius warrior...

Hmph! Don't tell me you thought a lowly warrior like yourself could defeat me!

Now hurry up and tell me where Bulma is!

Don't get so worked up. I'll tell you once this dust-up is over.

Either way, I surrender. All that's left is to defeat Frost. Heh heh...

Damn you! What're you planning?!

Hmph. You're going to explain this all to me later...!

Hey, Nappa! Tie him up and keep an eye on him!

Sure thing! I got this!

Shallot! We're going back to where Frieza is! Come with me!

Wuh?! Vegeta! W-Wait...!

Gah!

What's this? Looks like you're in a tough spot, Frieza.

Hmph! I'm not done yet.

Lord Frieza!

Hey, Frieza!

Oh? So you've decided to come, have you?

(Looks like Frieza's at a disadvantage. They won't take each other out at this rate. Guess I'll just have to jump in!)

You're a transforming lifeform just like me. Aren't you, Frieza?

So why don't you transform already? Show me what you've really got.

(Wh-What?! Frieza is a transforming lifeform?!)

Hmph. There's no need for me to transform against the likes of you.

That's the last time you insult me like that.

Fine, then! I'll show you just how much stronger I am!

Haaah!!

H-Hey! He just... He just ate the Fruit of the Tree of Might!

Dammit! He's raising his power level even higher!

Yes, everything up until now has been predictable. Heh. Now this is where it gets interesting.

Listen up, you two! Attack alongside me and keep damaging him!

Fwa ha ha ha ha!

D-Damn! Is he not feeling it?!

Y-You monster!

(His power... It's definitely greater than Frieza's!)

(F-Forget them taking each other out... We're going to get killed first at this rate!)

...Heh heh heh...

(And yet Frieza is still so calm! What's going on here...?!)

Oh ho ho! What's the matter? Looks like one Fruit of the Tree of Might isn't quite enough, eh?

What?!

You're still going on like that? Stop putting on a show already and come at me!

Oh? You must be mistaken. I don't put on shows for insignificant trash like you.

...I'll make you regret ever saying that!

If that's what you want, then fine! Taste my power, and despair!

Gaaaaahhh!!

No...! He just ate another Fruit?!

Th-There's no way we can win now!

(We're just going to have to find an opening and escape!)

Vegeta, Shallot. Let me say this, just in case.

I will kill the both of you if you run from here. Keep that in mind.

Wha...?!

But...it's clear just how much stronger he is! If we don't...!

What's gotten into you?! As if we'd ever turn tail and run!

I'm not running away! We're gonna take that guy out!!

Hah. How very much like you, Shallot.

...Damn you...!

Are you listening? I have only one order for you. Keep fighting.

Eventually our chance to win will come!

(What is he thinking...?! Is he really saying we can beat this guy?!)

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Yes, that's right! Run! Flee! Escape!!

*pant* *pant* This guy keeps getting even more powerful... It's crazy!

Damn him! We can't even run now...

...

Ha ha ha ha!

Ngh...?!

...?!

Argh... Aaaaaah?!

Heh. So the time has come...

What's happening...?! What's happening to him?!

While you were out surveying the enemy, I was busy learning all about the Fruit of the Tree of Might.

The enemy soldiers I captured were kind enough to tell me all about it.

They cultivated the Fruit of the Tree of Might to enhance their military strength.

However, the fruits are still at an experimental stage with a number of issues here and there...

Eating multiple fruits at once, for instance, is self-destructive. The body is unable to handle the surge of power.

So that was why...!

The more of these fruits you consume, the more danger you put yourself in. ...Now do you see?

D-Damn you! You knew that and purposely dragged this battle out!

These cultivated fruits have yet to be perfected. They're imitations, far from the real thing...

Yes... Much like you, I dare say.

What did you just say?!

Heh. I don't know what kind of hardship my future self forced upon you...

But you really are just worthless trash, aren't you?

!!!!!

H-How dare you...!! You're still going to insult me like that?!

Vegeta, Shallot. It's time to end this farce!

Alright!

Hah, you don't gotta tell me that!

D-Damn yooooou!

F-Friezaaaaa!!

Gaaahh...!

The cultivated Fruit of the Tree of Might has yet to be perfected, but they hold great potential...

I will improve them further and turn them into a more perfect weapon.

...So don't worry. You can rest in peace!

Aah... Aaaaagh!!

...Heh heh heh...

Hah ha ha ha! Look at you now! This is what you get for daring to believe you could get revenge upon Lord Frieza!

Well, guess we managed to beat Frost after all.

(Damn... I hate to admit it... But Frieza really is brilliant. What a tactician, too...!)

(But damn... My plan to get them to take each other out went up in smoke!)

Captain Ginyu!

Yes, I always knew that Lord Frieza would be able to smash that fake!

Aw yeah! Lord Frieza is just the best!

All of you!

I, Lord Frieza, have just executed the scoundrel who dared use my name to control your army!

Though you were fooled, I realize this has been difficult for all of you. ...But fear not!

Now that I, Frieza, have returned, you shall be reinstated as the most powerful corps in the universe!

...What's he mean...?!

Wait, so we were being tricked by a fake Frieza...?

Wh-What'd you say?!

Exactamundo! You heard right!

The genuine Lord Frieza has saved all of you from being ruled by that fake!

...Oh...

Oh! So Lord Frieza saved us!

I don't really get it, but... Alright!

Now repeat after me and praise Lord Frieza! Long live Lord Frieza!

Long live Lord Frieza! Long live Lord Friezaaaa!!

Agh... Q-Quiet down already...!

Heh heh... You're as perceptive as ever, Captain Ginyu...

Lord Frieza! Are you alright?

But of course. I'm glad to see that all of you are unhurt as well.

By the way, we caught that Saiyan, Turles or whatever... What should we do with him?

Yes... Allow me to deal with him. You may leave.

Hold up a second! We gotta get Bulma's location out of him first!

...

Tch! Fine...! Please allow me to question him first. That good enough for ya?

...Ah. I see that even you are beginning to understand me, Shallot.

Damn you! I'd rather be kept in the dark!

...But if that's how it is, then I'm gonna take a look around this ship myself!

You'd better not kill Turles until I'm done questioning him! ...Got that?!

Heh. Well... We'll just have to see about that.
