"Watch closely!" Frieza roared with laughter. "You should feel honored to be the first to witness my two transformations."
"Hmph, as if Vegeta hasn't seen you transform before," Krillin shouted from the side.
Frieza: "..."
Frieza glared fiercely at Krillin, his face dark.
"Little bald one, remember this. I'll make you die a very ugly death later," Frieza said coldly.
Krillin: "..."
*If I apologize now, will he let me go?*
"Watch closely, my third form!" Frieza grinned and immediately transformed into his third state.
Piccolo's face turned extremely grim.
Krillin was completely stunned.
Gohan's face turned pale.
"Vegeta went off to train with Goku privately, when are they coming back?" Krillin felt like crying. "It's no fun here, I want to go back to Earth."
"I want to find Daddy," Gohan said, tears streaming down his face.
Dende: "..."
"I also want to go back to Planet Namek," Dende added.
The three were speechless.
"Wearing extremely heavy armor, you think that'll increase your speed?" Frieza sneered. "Then let's have a race, shall we?"
"Let's do it!" Piccolo immediately shot into the sky.
Frieza swiftly pursued him.
"Damn it! Even if I'm not as powerful as you, my speed won't lose to yours!" Piccolo increased his flying speed.
However, as Piccolo flew, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
Piccolo peered ahead and was shocked to find Frieza already in front of him.
"What do you think, Namekian? Where's your supposed speed advantage?" Frieza asked with a smile.
"What? How is this possible?" Piccolo exclaimed.
"Hmph!"
Frieza brought his index and middle fingers together and swung them through the air.
*Bang!*
An invisible energy beam pierced Piccolo's thigh.
Piccolo screamed in pain.
"Hehehehe!"
Frieza continuously unleashed invisible energy blasts, creating holes all over Piccolo's body.
"Stop it!" Gohan couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward.
Frieza hastily dodged, evading a kick from Gohan.
*Crack!*
Gohan instantly shifted his body in mid-air and appeared directly above Frieza.
"Die!" Gohan pressed down with both hands, and a powerful energy blast enveloped Frieza.
*Rumble!*
The energy blast, carrying Frieza, plummeted downwards.
Just before hitting the ground, Frieza forcefully lifted his hands and legs upwards, pushing the energy blast away.
The blast soared towards Gohan.
Gohan's eyes widened in alarm.
"Hmph!"
Piccolo quickly swung his arm, sending an energy wave that dispersed the incoming blast.
"Thank you, Uncle Piccolo," Gohan said gratefully.
Frieza broke out in a cold sweat.
*How does this kid have so much power?*
*It's like he's become a different person after I almost beat him to death and he recovered.*
*Right! That kid must be a Saiyan!*
*But whose child is he?*
*Doesn't look like Vegeta's kid.*
*Feels a bit like Raditz's child.*
"You did well just now, Gohan," Piccolo said with a smile. "I'm truly happy for you, you've become much stronger."
"I can't, Uncle Piccolo..." Gohan felt a wave of exhaustion. "Even with all my strength, I can't defeat him."
Frieza's expression also grew incredibly grim.
*These Saiyans are too hateful.*
*Especially Vegeta, I'm still no match for him.*
*I need to eliminate them quickly and find the Dragon Balls they placed on this planet to wish for immortality.*
"I've decided. Before you die, I'll show you something even more terrifying," Frieza sneered. "I'll give you special treatment and let you witness my final transformation, my true form."
As he spoke, Frieza's body surged with immense energy.
The very air around Frieza distorted.
"Gohan, get away from there!" Piccolo shouted.
Gohan quickly went to Gohan's side and helped him down to the ground some distance away.
Dende also arrived quickly and used his healing technique on Piccolo.
Frieza glanced in their direction and finally understood.
"So that's how it is!" Frieza scoffed. "No wonder you've been resurrected time and time again."
*Rumble!*
Frieza's body unleashed even more power. When the energy subsided, Frieza had entered his final form.
"He's become so small and compact, is that Frieza's true form?" Krillin marveled.
Gohan was also astonished.
"This is a perfect example of not judging strength by appearance. His power has increased tremendously!" Piccolo gritted his teeth.
"Hey, Frieza, go ahead and transform, but don't you like wearing clothes?" Krillin suddenly shouted.
Piccolo: "..."
Gohan: "..."
Frieza: "..."
Frieza's veins bulged on his forehead as he slowly raised a finger.
*Whoosh!*
A beam of light flashed, instantly killing Dende.
Dende: "..."
*Shouldn't you have attacked Krillin?*
"Dende!" Gohan cried out.
"What? Dende?" Piccolo was also filled with grief. "Damn it, I was too careless!"
"Now you can't be resurrected again, can you?" Frieza sneered.
*Swish!*
The next moment, Frieza flickered and appeared directly in front of the three.
"Yaaah!"
Gohan charged forward first.
"Not good!" Krillin quickly moved to support him.
The three launched a furious barrage of attacks at Frieza.
Frieza didn't engage them directly, instead using his speed to skillfully dodge all their punches and kicks.
Piccolo and the other two fought for a long time without landing a single hit.
*Whoosh!*
Frieza landed some distance away and fired two beams of light from his hand, which shot towards Gohan's chest.
"Watch out, Gohan!" Piccolo exclaimed in alarm and swiftly flew forward, pulling Gohan back from the brink of death.
"Thank you, Uncle Piccolo, you saved me again," Gohan said gratefully.
"Namekian, you're really too meddlesome!" Frieza coldly snorted and instantly appeared behind Piccolo.
*Bang!*
Frieza kicked Piccolo, sending him crashing to the ground.
*Bang!*
Frieza then delivered a powerful kick to Piccolo, sending him soaring into the sky.
*Swish!*
Frieza moved again, appearing directly above Piccolo, and kicked him once more.
