Preach on brother. It really is impossible to even attempt a half-way decent villain revenge story with so many loopholes for the good guys to make any lasting effect moot. The only one I haven't managed to create a block for is Kai's being able to give their life's to revive the dead besides "Well, the universe was gonna get destroyed by Boo so the situation called for a drastic action like that."Lord Beerus wrote:I'm so glad New Namek bit the dust. I mean, Freeza already had the stack decked against him when he was brought back to life as the heroes had two sets of wish granting MacGuffins to back them up if shit hit the fan. I really wish Freeza had actually been more savvy in Resurrection F and tried to find New Namek and destroy the planet. But I guess he must have thought the effort wasn't worth it. That, and he was super stupid arrogant.

This is great!
Stop toying with me!
Are the thoughts of both Goku and Vegeta respectively as they once again mount a joint offensive against the caretaker of Beerus, the most powerful being in the universe: Whis for the second round of their first practice match with him. The mysterious being merely avoids or intercepts their blows with utter ease while the Saiyan's give it they're all, with heavy sweat covering them now after fighting for so long. As they usually do, the fighters approach their tactics differently.
Vegeta furiously strikes him with all his might, a grunt or growl escaping his lips with each one and his face stuck in a permanent scowl. Letting his anger at both Whis and his inability to catch up to Goku control him. Goku comparatively takes a more relaxed approach, conserving more energy though not for any tactical reason, a child-like grin is ever present, enjoying the thrill of the fight and challenge to dictate his actions.
One too frustrated and the other too carefree. They've learned nothing from the advice I gave them an hour ago. Concludes Whis, mentally analyzing the two's personalities and approaches to combat without giving either any visible indication of this. Before he accepted their request to come and train here, he used the oracle fishes abilities to check their previous noteworthy battles. While none can deny that both of them are skilled and talented fighters, the finest ever produced by their species, both have failed to compensate for their personality flaws.
Wanting to prove his points, this time, around, Whis decides to let their actions speak louder than his words and promptly smacks Vegeta in the face, sending the Saiyan Prince back to ground level, leaving only himself and Goku up in the air. The caretaker turns to Goku, catching his punch with a smirk. "Now the two of us can get down to the real training."
Goku gives him a puzzled look. "Uh, what about Vegeta?"
"Pay him no attention, he's too weak to properly fight at our level anyway." Whis states non-nonchalantly, ensuring it's loud enough for the angry Prince to hear him as he pulls himself out of the crater. "Now come."
With his excited grin growing larger, Goku nods at his new master and powers up before charging at him. To both his and Vegeta's shock, Whis actually fights back. For every punch the Earth Saiyan throws, Whis responds in kind, though obviously without using even half of his full strength. Goku takes a more thoughtful, defensive approach, at first, to properly get a feel for the strength of Whis' attacks.
About on par with mine. He concludes then swats away a palm strike directed to his chest and takes the initiative. Feeling a rush of excitement he hasn't felt since fighting Beerus on Earth, he leaves himself vulnerable. His desire to escalate the conflict makes him rash, his punches losing some of their former precision, leaving him vulnerable to counter attack.
His uppercut misses entirely, allowing Whis to elbow him in the stomach as he failed to ready a plan B in case his punch missed. With a pained gasp, he momentarily stops from the quick and sudden pain before smirking and attacking once more. His high kick is dodged, earning him a palm strike to the face. Once again, he fails to notice his poorer performance and attacks once more, with more failed attacks and successful counter from Whis being the result.
Back on the ground, a kneeling Vegeta observes their battle, his fists clenched so tightly he tear through his flesh were it not for his gloves. Whis' words echo repeatedly in his mind, his blood boiling at being judged so inferior to Kakarot that he's not even worth acknowledging. Powering up, he fully gets back on his feet and draws his arms back, gathering energy into them.
Whis immediately takes notice of his rising power though Goku does not, his sense of reason lost in favor of his thrill of battle. A costly mistake as Vegeta, once gathering a satisfactory amount of ki, thrusts his palms forward and declares. "FINAL FLASH!"
Vanishing out of sight of Goku's kick, Whis appears behind him and gently nudges him forward somewhat before disappearing again. Puzzled, he looks around for Beerus' caretaker before finally taking notice of Vegeta's attack, managing to catch a glimpse of the massive yellow beam rushing towards him a second before it blasts him into the air, smashing him into one of the smaller worlds orbiting the temple.
Coughing up smoke, he lets out a half-hearted chuckle, his whole body aching from the attack leaving him to helplessly fall back to the planet below, leaving a crater upon landing on it. "I'm gonna... feel that tomorrow..."
"It serves you right for hogging all the glory as usual!" Yells Vegeta, accusingly pointing his finger at the downed Kakarot with a vein in his head popping out. "Now stay out of my way and let a true Saiyan warrior show you how it's done."
"It's done by giving yourself a stomach ulcer?" Asks Whis, suddenly appearing behind the Prince who immediately leaps into the air and lands a few feet away from him, entering his fighting stance. "Well, I suppose with Goku done I'll have to settle for you."
The Princes left eye twitches in anger of the caretakers refusal to acknowledge his strength, especially after he just finished taking down Kakarot with but a single attack. Powering himself up, he shoots Whis a glare before charging at him, unleashing a strong gust of the wind in his wake. To his growing frustration, Whis only blocks or dodges, still not deeming him serious enough of a threat to even send a single attack his way.
And so it goes on for another hour with Vegeta growling like a mad man after every punch and kick with Whis, appearing utterly disinterested given his bored expression and occasional yawn merely keeps on avoiding him. As is the case with every warrior, this exercise quickly wears him out, leaving him sweating and panting heavily yet he stubbornly continues attacking. Oblivious or merely ignoring the fact his speed has dropped noticeably and his punches and kicks have lost a considerable amount of their power though his anger has done anything but.
Taking a moment to catch his breath, Vegeta halts any further attacks and quickly realizes the folly of his actions once the adrenaline rush wears doesn't even see the flicker of Whis' finger before it hits him upside the head, smashing him face first into the ground, leaving a trail of ruined grass nearly 10 feet long.
"You two really are a pair," Announces Whis, amazed that Vegeta actually managed to keep that up for as long as he did. "If you didn't let your glaring personality flaws get in the way so much, you'd be far better off for it."
He appears before the still downed Goku, taking a small brown pouch dangling from his belt containing two Senzu Beans one of which he immediately hands out to the Saiyan nearest. Immediately, Goku leaps back onto his feet, his injuries fully healed and his body good as new with Vegeta following suite.
Clapping his hands together, Whis proclaims. "I think we've done enough for today! Now, let us eat!"
He disappears for a split second then reappearing the next, holding two trays of peculiar, alien looking food on them. One bowl with something resembling rice while the other a green colored, foot long but curled up slug. "It may look a bit strange to you, but believe me, the slug is simply to die for!"
Goku doesn't hesitate for an instant, taking the chops sticks without a care and chowing down with his usual ferocity. Vegeta, on the other hand, takes a moment to examine the slug, sniffing it before apprehensively taking a piece out of it. A rich, savory flavor immediately sends him into a frenzy, one rivaling Goku's. A minute after starting, both finish their meals and promptly ask for me. Half an hour later, their hunger finally relents with both of them sitting down on the grassy floor of the temple, satisfied at least for their full belly's.
"Now that you've both had a good chance to rest up, I think it's time we addressed the elephants in the room, as the Earthling saying goes." He looks over to Vegeta first. "Prince Vegeta, you are a capable fighter who's more than surpassed the limitations of your species, attaining heights no one thought possible. However, your lack of self-control and constant inferiority complex towards Goku here make you too rash in your actions. You must learn to control your emotions or one of these days, your pride or arrogance will cause result in your final death."
"The only reason I acted rashly is because you taunted me! Openly called me an inferior sparring partner to this clown!" Vegeta furiously counters, his voice echoing throughout the area.
"Despite what you may think, you are far closer to Goku in strength than you realize." He points out matter of factly. "I taunted you simply because I knew you'd react poorly to it. And against a cunning enemy, your glaring personality flaw will be your downfall or perhaps even your friends here. What if you were in a true life or death battle with me? What if you actually put more effort into that Final Flash and killed Goku by accident?"
"I would-"
"You would die." He concludes with a cold, calculating tone to his voice, showing his serious side to them both for the first time. "And your world would suffer for it as it has twice already when your pride allowed the threats of both Buu and Cell to escalate when you could've finished them beforehand."
The Prince remains silent like a scolded child, recounting the events of both this training session and the previous events Whis spoke of. Despite not wanting to openly admit it, he fully grasps the validity of his statements. That is, until seeing Goku chuckling next to him, causing his temper to flare up once more.
"He's got a point Vegeta." Goku jabs him lightly with his elbow, a satisfied smirk smeared across his face. "That much bent up aggressions bad for your health."
Before the Saiyan Prince can say or do anything, Whis swiftly smacks Goku upside the head, sending him reeling back like a yelping dog. "Prince Vegeta isn't the only one at fault here Goku, you've much to learn as well. Your reckless love of fighting is what resulted in you getting hit by that Final Flash in the first place. I understand it's part of your Saiyan genes, but it has, along with your lack of common sense brought Earth quite a few times as well."
Goku raises his head back up, still rubbing the sore spot though makes no attempt to interrupt his new master.
"On Namek, you could've ended Freeza easily yet you let him live simply for the thrill of the fight. Then he returned years later, nearly destroying your home world and loved ones were it not for the innervation of that time displaced Trunks. Then you foolishly sent your son against an enemy who's cruelty knew no bound, so confident in your plan it took Piccolo's words of reason for your common sense to kick in. Lets not even talk about your foolish decision not to kill the fat Majin Buu when you could've done so or you not bothering to get the likes of Gotenks or Gohan involved in your final battle against the child Buu, despite the fact their aid would've ended the fight easily and painlessly. You choose to fight him yourself for the thrill of it."
The Earth raised Saiyan too remains silent, pondering his actions and decisions same as Vegeta though Whis speaks up again. "Credit where credit is due, at least, you both performed the fusion dance for the purpose of defeating Beerus." Admits the caretaker as he observed some of their sparring matches on Earth before coming here, noting that Vegeta never would've agreed to perform the technique showing he's adapted at least a bit.
"A ridiculous technique that didn't even work." Interjects Vegeta embarrassed by his own willingness to do it only for it to fail spectacularly.
"It was likely destabilized by your vast individual strength levels." Comments Whis. "The Metomoran's are not a strong race by themselves, that is why the dance was created in the first place. However, it seems you've both become so strong alone fusion cannot even form itself properly before splitting you back up."
"Oh! That reminds me! Where is Lord Beerus anyway?" Questions Goku, hoping to at least get a chance for a brief match against him to compare his strength now to their first battle on Earth.
"Beerus is sleeping within inside the temple behind him." He raises his arm and points to it with his thumb. "Usually, this amount of racket would've surely awoken him, but he was so intent on regaining his strength quickly he's placed himself in a very deep slumber."
"He needs to sleep to regain his strength?" Asks Vegeta, folding his arms and surprised a being of Beerus' caliber would require such a long amount of resting time when neither he nor Goku do. Yet they are both Gods as well.
"It is a biological necessity installed in all of the Gods of Destruction when they were first created eons ago. As you both know, Lord Beerus returns to the universe at large in cycles of typically 50 years, give or take. Once he's properly rested up, he travels the cosmos, judging planets on their worth and destroying those he deems unfit to live, thus bringing a necessary balance to the universe. For if new life is to spring back up, some existing life must be extinguished."
Goku and Vegeta remain silent, both intrigued by the caretakers tale.
"However, as you've seen Beerus can be... temperamental. Were it not for this biological limit placed on him and his colleagues, their constant presence could potentially cause more harm than good to the balance. Thus, depending on how much power they spend, they all must eventually return to their homes such as this one, to slumber and reinvigorate themselves. For you see, worlds like this one are brimming with Godly Ki, rich energies the Gods subconsciously absorb into their beings while they sleep. Energy from the air, the trees, the small planets orbiting it, even the temple itself."
"Kind of like the Spirit Bomb..." Goku mutters with Whis nodding.
"Indeed, in fact, the Spirit Bomb itself is based on this process though far more weaponized obviously. Just like the Spirit Bomb technique, the Gods amount of activity while they sleep typically dictates how well they absorb the power. The deeper the sleep, the calmer their bodies are and thus, more energies enters their body at a faster rate. Beerus usually has all sorts of dreams and nightmares, typically causing some inadvertent damage which is why his slumbering periods are usually longer than most of the others."
"When will he wake up?" Asks Vegeta.
"At this rate he could wake up right now if he wished, his energy reserves have been almost completely restored. However, he correctly guessed neither of you would match him in just a year, so he's decided to oversleep a bit and give you two more after this one. If my guess is correct, I think he'll be quite pleased with your result if you keep moving at this pace."
Despite the scolding he gave them earlier, the two Saiyan's smirk, glad that their training is bearing noticeable fruit after the slump both of them entered after defeating Majin Buu. Their brief moment of satisfaction cut short when they are suddenly contacted by someone they didn't expect to hear from today. "Goku! Vegeta!"
Exchanging puzzled glances at the voice in their heads, they both ask. "King Kai?"
"YoubothhavetogetbacktoEarthimmeidately!Somethingterribleisgoingonandyouneedtogonow!" He blurts out at a speed so fast neither of them can make even a fraction of what he said.
"What is that imbecile talking about?" Comments Vegeta, annoyed by his incomprehensible mess of a sentence.
"Slow down King Kai, just take a deep breath and tell us what's going on, okay?"
The old deity does as his pupil suggest, exhaling loudly before continuing. "New Namek is gone Goku! It exploded suddenly without warning and now it's gone along with everyone on the planet!"
"What?!" Declare both Goku and Vegeta in unison.
"After the incident with Cell, I decided to keep closer tabs on the Namekian's in case you guys ever needed their help again. So I was just watering my plants when I felt it die, I sensed its explosion echo throughout the cosmos! The planet was perfectly stable yesterday and now it just blew up for no reason whatsoever!"
"Did you try contacting Dende or Piccolo?" Questions Goku.
"That's what's got me worried! The second it happened I immediately went to speak with them if they knew anything but I couldn't find them Goku! I can't sense anyone or anything on Earth! It's like the whole planet is just... gone!"
Both Saiyan's exchange worried glances, worried about this sudden chain of events. "Did... did the Earth explode as well?" Asks Vegeta with hesitation clear in his voice.
"I don't think so, Earth is a lot easier for me to sense and I'm sure I'd have felt it blow up."
They sigh in relief, glad that their home didn't suddenly suffer the same fate as New Namek even if its apparent disappearance continues worrying them. Goku takes a step back, placing his fingers on his forehead to focus his ki as necessary on performing the Instant Transmission. Yet, as he tries to reach out to any ki signature on Earth, he finds nothing. Just as stated by old Kai, where there was once Earth, now there is seemingly nothing.
"Well?" Barks Vegeta, folding his arms with his finger tapping nervously.
"King Kai's right," Confirms Goku with a heavy heart. "Earth... is gone."
Not pleased with his answer, Vegeta furiously grabs him by his gi and hoists him off the ground, his free hand forming a threatening fist. "Wrong answer, now try again."
Gulping in fear of the Princes legendary temper, Goku nods in agreement and places his fingers back onto his forehead. He tries to sense the Earth again with no results at first but then, out of nowhere, he senses a fairly strong and familiar signature and immediately smiles. "I've found Piccolo!"
Vegeta eases up, putting him back gently on the ground. "And the others?"
"I can feel Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and... Chiaotzu but they're weak, really weak." He quiets down, noticing the absence of the boys and searches high and low for their ki but it yields no results. "I... I can't find the boys."
The Saiyan Prince once again tenses up, his hands curling up into fists. "Get us home, now."
Nodding in agreement, he looks back to the caretaker before them and smiles while Vegeta places his hand on Goku's shoulder. "Sorry for leaving Master Whis, but we've got a problem back home."
"I can see that, don't let me keep you. After all, Earth is your primary responsibility."
----------------------------------
Earth, West City
Locking in on the strongest ki signature he can feel, belonging to Piccolo, Goku transports himself and Vegeta to his location and see a chilling sight all around them which leaves the two warriors speechless. West City lies in ruins, most of its buildings destroyed with a scant few heavily damaged still somehow standing up with the crater of a ki wave explosion covering over a third of it. The inhabitants are all gone as far as they can tell, yet they find others in their place.
"Trade Organization..." Vegeta mutters with venom in his voice, recognizing the iconic armor and equipment on the dozens upon dozens of corpses littering the ground. "Should've learned to stay away after Freeza's second failure."
"Look!" Goku exclaims, tapping Vegeta on the shoulder and his finger pointing to a lone conscious figure amongst the dead, an unmistakable green-skinned being kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. "Piccolo!" He calls out the Namekian warrior, yet gets no response or even a visible sign he heard him. Exchanging worried glances, the two Saiyans gently take off into the air and from above, spot most of their friends lying all around the Namek.
Quickly they land back down, and immediately inspect the wounded first, to their relief, everyone is alive though unconscious and badly wounded. Cursing themselves for using up all of Korin's available Senzu Beans, Goku turns to check on Piccolo who merely stares blankly on the ground, ignoring Goku's waving arm before him. "Piccolo? Hey! Piccolo?" He nudges him gently yet he remains frozen still, not even blinking and his breath very, very faint. "What could've done this to him?"
"The permanent extinction of one's race would shake anyone to their very core, even a warrior such as Piccolo."
A cold chill runs down their spines as they're left frozen-in-place, their eyes widening in shock from hearing that evil, unmistakable voice. Spinning around and readying themselves for battle, they find him there, casually sitting on the edge of a one story tall with his arms folded, his tail casually swinging back and forth and a malicious smirk on his face.
"Whats the matter? You look as if you've seen a ghost?" He asks mockingly with the two Saiyan's entering their fighting stances, their eyes never leaving his.
"Freeza..." Vegeta growls like a mad dog, his face caught in a permanent scowl directed at the one responsible for the genocide of his people and his own decades-long servitude. "You should've stayed dead, but I suppose getting obliterated twice by us wasn't quite enough for you."
The tyrant lets out an amused chuckle before leaping off the building and landing about 20 feet away from them. "Only once actually, that little incident at the wedding was nothing more than an android."
This time, it's Prince who chuckles. "Please, you know as well as I do you've not the skill or intellect to make an android, you couldn't even cobble yourself together properly after Namek."
"Oh but I do Vegeta, and its all thanks to you along with so, so many other wondrous things."
"What are you talking about?" Questions Goku, his patience running out fast.
"Your friend Piccolo over there wasn't wrong, you know. On the day he voiced his suspicions of someone besides you lot using the Dragon Balls, it was in fact my own agents out to resurrect me, to bring the Organization back to its rightful place after my first death left it quite... weakened in the following years. But thanks to you, and your wonderful, infinitely helpful incompetence and stupidity, you didn't bother looking into it further." He starts pacing around them. "Rather you kept on living your lives, spouting your secrets for anyone to hear and use against you, leaving your most powerful tools, the Dragon Balls lying around for just anyone to find and so many other useful things."
He points one finger out as he starts counting down. "I along with my entire army learned how to properly control and sense ki from you, we acquired the android technology from the computer belonging to a certain someone's wife, we acquired the gravity machine, fusion dance but most importantly," He stops and gives them a look that would make anyone else a heart attack. "I learned of your spare set of Dragon Balls on New Namek, and thanks to you, not only am I and my organization infinitely more powerful than ever thanks to you, but the entire Namekian species is effectively rendered extinct, barring the two left here."
"An empty threat! With the Dragon Balls, we can bring them all back! You've done nothing but waste your time!" Vegeta counters in his usual loud demeanor with Freeza chuckling once more, much to his annoyance. "Whats so funny?!"
Freeza looks over to Goku and judging by the horrified look on his face, understands the true implications of Freeza's words. "Tell him."
Vegeta raises an eyebrow before slightly tilting his head over to the frozen Goku by his side, his head lowered in a defeated manner. "What the hell is he talking about Kakarot?!"
"We..." Goku begins before gulping, his voice faltering. "We already used the Dragon Balls to wish them all back before Vegeta... When we first fought Freeza on Namek... We..." His fists clench tightly. "We can't bring them back again."
"And it's all your fault." Freeza points out once again before bursting out laughing, his sinister, chilling cackle echoing throughout the surrounding area.
The two Saiyan's flaring up aura's quickly silence him as they power up for battle. "Your days of terrorizing the universe and this planet are over, Freeza!" Goku proclaims with an attitude almost as vicious as the one Freeza trembled before on Namek.
"And this time, you'll stay dead! Even if I have to blast through the very depths of Hell itself I'll make sure you don't come back again!" Vegeta yells with two veins popping out of the sides of his face, his milky white aura cracking the ground beneath his feet.
Delighted with their reactions, Freeza cannot help but smile like a giddy schoolgirl, his excitement so strong his hands shake slightly from it. "I certainly hope you intend on following through with your friends, because if you don't, your children's lives are forfeit."
Freezing once more upon hearing those words, the two fighters aura's increase further with their joint yells and without an ounce of hesitation fly towards Freeza with all their might. The tyrant cannot help but cackle once more, happy beyond the description any words can give too powers up with a purple colored aura, nearly twice the size of his opponents surrounds his body. With his smile never leaving him, he meets them head on with their collision resulting in a massive, explosion wave thus beginning the true battle for Earth.

You're not wrong about the checklistBlazingFiddlesticks wrote:It is as if you made a checklist of every button the film did not push, some more subjective than others, and whacked them with a rubber mallet.
Spoiler:The one thing about the God transformations that you could have missed, that an awful lot of people are somehow missing despite trying to look at them as both story utilities and points of lore, is that they are only coming about in the manner they are because Dragon Ball's characters lead weird existences even by the standards of its own wacky universe. That is the crutch, in the same vein as Super Saiyan 3 being unstable and inefficient. In Freeza's case, he wins not only because his race (in this take) is vulnerable to heat, not only because he has to be the self-serving tyrant who does not fear death, but that the very particular turns of Freeza's life are what gave him to mindset to attempt it. I doubt Mecha Freeza would have gone through with that. Likewise, the Saiyans kind of treated Freeza like a novelty in the movie- he talked a big game and stopped there. Not so here!

And I like your observations concerning my God forms idea. A lot of the time people assume the original SSJG was someone powerful and feared being like the original Super Saiyan but given the information we have on Red God, this never made much sense to me. I always assumed he must've been more like Tarble than the Broly-esque figure many fans think he was. Plus I like the idea that to become a higher being, you need to be a powerful anomaly in your own species.
I will say, while Freeza's gotten rid of many of his post-Namek fears, there's going to be a moment later on in the story where you'll see he hasn't fully gotten over everything that happened to him. After all, he opts not to undergo anymore serious, heavily damaging cybernetic augmentation even after Goku obliterates his chances of getting revenge by becoming an SSJG.

I can hardly believe this is happening!
Freeza joyously thinks as an unparalleled rush of excitement, happiness, adrenaline and a slight amount of madness courses through every fiber of his being like a jolt of invigorating electricity. He can hardly believe it, after 15 years spent waiting both in death and life, he is finally doing battle with the two individuals responsible for all his problems. Goku and Vegeta. The mighty Super Saiyan God's flinging attack after attack at him with all their might.
Wanting to give them a false sense of hope and security thus increasing both their imminent dread and his joy, Freeza puts up an act. After confidently meeting them head on, he adopts a facade of inferiority. Clumsily avoiding their attacks and intentionally slowing himself down so they can land a few hits. Letting them he's gotten in over his head again and that they've got the advantage. He cannot help but chuckle at them, amazed that even after showing them the results of his cunning, they still think him too arrogant to ensure his victory beforehand. Even Goku, the one more insightful in his enemies true strength does nothing but follow Vegeta's example, too furious to listen to reason.
Not that Freeza would be worried if he understood, the tyrant knows he can kill them right now fairly easily, yet he also knows a hidden power they've yet to unleash, a power seemingly beyond that of a Super Saiyan God. One he wants to draw out of before crushing them into the dirt. If Goku defeated him at his own zenith of power, Freeza will extend him and the troublesome Prince that same courtesy.
Dropping his act, with utter ease and a smirk on his face, he catches their fists, surprising them both before applying pressure. Slowly tightening his grip, he starts crushing their fists, forcing them upward and the two grunting Saiyan's down to their knees, for if they do not, their hands would surely snap off. Letting out an amused chuckle, Freeza glances over to Goku before raising him off the ground and promptly kicks him in the abdomen. Its strength is so great he's sent flying away out of the city and is smashed right through the ruined cliff-side outside the city.
Feigning the lower of his guard, Freeza allows Vegeta to hit him in the face with a simple ki blast, letting out a fake, pained grunt as the Prince escapes his grip. Vegeta only manages to make it a couple of yards before receiving a knee to the back of the head courtesy of Freeza, his speed so great Vegeta didn't even notice he vanished from the spot. With a pained gasp escaping his lips, Vegeta is flung forward, driven face first into the dirt and mud-ridden ground.
Still wanting to play with them a bit more, Freeza points his index finger at the downed Prince and lets him see the attack before unleashing a barrage of death beams. However, the barrage doesn't immediately hit the Saiyan Prince, rather its creator intentionally lets the blasts come barreling towards Vegeta, like an incoming train about to crush a poor soul unfortunate enough to be tied to the tracks.
Hearing the humming noise and faint explosions caused by the attack, Vegeta turns around and notices the barrage coming and immediately begins rolling on the ground to avoid them. Furious that Freeza's simply toying with him given his sinister cackle. Quickly growing tired of rolling through the dirt like a dog, he charges a ki blast and fires it at Freeza's face who simply tilts his head to the right, letting it fly past him. Amused by his former soldiers reaction, Freeza fires off a red ki blast of his own with Vegeta narrowly evading it by flying up into the air.
Sensing that Goku's power growing back at the cliff, Freeza decides to finish with Vegeta, at least for now. Firstly, he appears to him, smashing him back into the ground with a swift and powerful axe kick before pinning his face down to the bottom of his foot. He promptly kicks him in the face, sending him flying into the bottom floor of one of the few remaining skyscrapers and with a simple flicker of his index finger, brings the whole building down on top of the Saiyan Prince, momentarily satisfying his urge to inflict pain on him.
Just as he does so, the Earth raised Saiyan appears mere inches before him, cupping his hands together with a ball of blue ki charging in his hands. He thrusts his arms forward and with a mighty yell unleashes his attack. "HHHHAAAAAAA!"
A massive blue energy wave engulfs Freeza with the brunt of the blast aimed at his upper body. The attack pushes well past its target, engulfing the bodies of several PTO soldiers and inadvertently destroying some of the ruins of West City though Goku cares little for this. Deeming the damage easily repairable via the Dragon Balls. His Kamehameha subsides just as quickly as it came, though not with the effect he wanted it to have.
With a shocked expression and terrible feeling of unease in his gut, Goku watches the smoke clear revealing a completely unscathed Freeza standing in front of him. Knowing he cannot win like this, he tries to escape only to get grabbed by the throat by Freeza's tail. Cracking his knuckles, he tightens his grip around Goku's neck and smiles as he listens to him gasp for air, punching the tail over and over to break free.
"That was for biting it last time." He states, tightening the grip a bit more while raising his left hand. "And this is for your other stunt." With a blinding speed that leaves Goku's ears ringing, Freeza smacks him right across the face, letting the initial pain set in before hitting him again from the right. He repeats this over and over, each strike faster than the last with blood splattering from Goku's mouth.
Paying him back appropriately, Freeza notices the rubble of the recently destroyed skyscraper trembling with a glowing, white light emerging from within the rubble and smiles. With a mighty shout, Vegeta bursts forth from the wreckage, blasting it all away with an explosion wave. Not wasting a second, he charges at the smirking tyrant with the intention of knocking his lights out. His plan fails with Freeza instead placing his captive right in front of it, causing the Prince to hit Goku instead.
Letting go of Goku's neck, he instead wraps his tail around the ankle of his left leg and uses him to smack Vegeta away. Not content with his work on the Earth Saiyan just yet, he smashes him repeatedly against the ground like a baby bashing wildly smacking its toy around. Hoisting him upside down, Freeza smirks and with a kiai aimed at his chest launches Goku into Vegeta, knocking them away.
"Bastard..." Vegeta mutters, wiping the blood from his lips and rising back to his feet. "You'll pay for all of this..."
Freeza chuckles again. "Always with the threats but I've yet to see either of you follow through on them Vegeta. As you are now, you won't lay a finger on me."
"He's right... Vegeta..." Goku admits, getting himself back on his feet while rubbing the left side of his face. "At this rate, we'll die for sure. We're gonna have to go all out if we want to win this."
"By all means!" Proclaims Freeza, with a genuine tone of encouragement. "Show me the true power of a Super Saiyan, it's only fair seeing as you allowed me to fight at my strongest on Namek after all."
Glaring at the tyrant, the two Saiyan's stand upright, both letting out relaxed sighs before clenching their fists. They begin to yell with the ground at their feet breaking apart, its pebbles floating up into the air all around them. The wind twists and turns around them in powerful gusts as faint pillars of golden light appear around them. Soon, the pillars expand, completely engulfing their bodies before its shape transforms into one resembling flames.
As the transformation completes itself, the traditional Super Saiyan aura now resembles a golden, ethereal flame with sparks of blue electrical discharge of varying sizes occur all around it. The two Saiyans each stand an inch taller than before, their muscle mass increasing slightly. Their blond hair stands somewhat more rigid than he remembers and their green eyes now have dark green pupils inside of them.
The tyrants excitement grows upon seeing this new, Godly enhanced form of the Super Saiyan transformation. A stark contrast to his many nights spent in Hell where even the faintest sight of those stern, green eyes would've sent him into a panic. But those days are a thing of the past, and even with this noticeable boost in power, Freeza knows they are still doomed to fail. Entering his fight pose, he powers himself up to the fullest extent allowed in his present state, knowing he cannot toy around with them anymore. The two Saiyan's before him do the same, their fiery auras intensity growing as they too power up.
All of them remain silent, with only the humming of their auras making a sound. This time, we'll take him together, Vegeta. Goku tells the Saiyan Prince more as a command than a suggestion.
Fine by me. The Saiyan Prince agrees with a smirk. Just so long as I get to be the one to interrogate him for the boy's location.
And with that, they both vanish from sight without a peep, only appearing as blurs for a second to Freeza before he loses any and all trace of them. A moment later he finds himself sent reeling back from a joint punch to the face courtesy of the two Super Saiyan's. Feeling the first bit of actual pain for the first time today, Freeza smirks, feeling blood trickle down his nose but pleased regardless. More than willing to let them have their shining moment before taking it away from them.
----------------------------------------------
Location Unknown
The metallic taste of blood fills his mouth as he lays burrowed in the dirt ridden ground, small drops of trickling out of his lips as he struggles to keep his head up, the pain in it keeping him in a perpetual state of blacking in and out of consciousness. He tries to lift his hands with his paws crashing back down limply after only remaining up for a second. An agonizing pain covers him from head to toe, his muscles weak, his bones broken both within and outside his body.
His sight fails him, the semi-black outs leaving it muddled and confusing. Yet even in this jumbled mess, a lone figure stands prominently, a shadowy warrior walking slowly towards him with a black aura resembling fire twisting and turning all around him. Besides that, he can recognize no other discernible features. No peculiar hair or body shape or tail. Just a simple muscular humanoid approaching him with each stop making the ground shake.
A terrible sense of dread fills the wounded warriors heart upon spotting this figure. Despite his memory seemingly blank, he simply knows this shadowy being is to blame for his injuries. He grits his teeth, trying to force his body up to keep fighting, yet as before, it fails him, simply too damaged to be of any use. This does little to deter the wounded warrior, for he finds another way of attacking in the form of an eye beam.
The shadowy being merely swats it away with a casual flick of his wrist and keeps marching on. The wounded fighter tries again, yet now his ki reserves are depleted as he can produce not even the faintest of blasts. With an annoyed grunt, he lowers his head back down, his jaw firmly clenched as the sound of footsteps grows closer and louder with each passing moment. Then it stops.
Looking up, he spots the shadow looms over him, the entire world around them consumed by his growing flame, all but the wounded one. With the last bit of strength he has left, he tells his adversary. "Do it... Take your... Bloody vengeance..."
"Everyone gets what's coming to them," The shadow states with venom and anger in his distorted voice, raising his hand and placing it merely a foot away from the wounded ones as a large ball of black ki forms in it. "Even you, Lord Beerus."
Before the end comes, a sudden explosion up above catches their attention. Another flame, this one colored orange appears where the sun once was, fighting back the black fire until it too consumes everything in sight. This time burning both Beerus and his shadowy adversary, they both scream in agony, the latter flailing wildly while the former is too injured to even move. And so they remain, screaming and burning for what seems like an eternity as the power of this new, seemingly sourceless fire grows and grows until finally, it folds back in on itself into a single, humanoid shape, this one with a tail and ball-shaped head.
Beerus, now a charred corpse clinging to what little life he has left, observes the shape but before he can say or do anything, his strength finally leaves him. His eyes falling shut until they snap back open once more. Yet, this time, he finds no flame or broken body or shadowy being out to kill him, instead, he finds himself in the comfort of his bed, finally back in the waking world.
Yet still, the sense of unease persists, so strong he wakes up as if he hadn't spent a moment sleeping at all this past year, a far cry from his usual sleepy demeanor upon awakening. Immediately, he notices a foul odor and looks around to check for it only to notice the armpits of his sleeping clothes full of sweat, caused by his own stress during the nightmare.
I better take a bath or Whis won't let me hear the end of it. He decides though his thoughts are still on the dream, usually he barely remembers them with only a few notable details remaining in his memory. Yet this one he remembers completely every single detail. Surely the Oracle Fish would've told me of me impending death... He considers before recounting how he didn't even remember his own foretelling of the Super Saiyan God when Beerus asked him a year ago.
Still lost in thought, Beerus descends from his bed down to the entrance of his chamber, pondering the implications of this nightmare as he makes his way to the bathing room several floors down.
---------------------------------
Meanwhile, Earth
"Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta declares firing off the giant ki ball from his hand at the panting, cornered Freeza. The tyrant, now covered in several cuts and bruises all over his body leaps into the air in an attempt to avoid the attack. He fails to account for Goku, who descends from above and elbows him in the head, sending him right back down just in time for Vegeta's blast to hit him. Forming a ki barrier around his body, he manages to nullify a considerable amount of the blast though not all.
The Saiyan Prince gives him no time to catch his breath, appear from the other side of the smoke cloud and driving his fist angrily into the tyrants stomach. Freeza gasps in pain with drops of blood dripping out of his mouth. He takes hold of Vegeta's arm and head-butts the Super Saiyan, managing to daze him momentarily before leaping into the air for a kick.
Just as his leg is about to hit, Vegeta recovers and snatches it. With a smirk, he raises his free arm and elbows Freeza in the leg with the conqueror yelling in pain as the Saiyan Prince throws him up into the air. He spots Goku coming at him and tries to hold him off by thrusting both his arms forward and firing off a wave of red ki. Yet Goku effortlessly brushes it aside, kneeing him in the abdomen before delivering a spin kick to his face.
The two launch another joint attack with Vegeta flying past him, clotheslining him in the neck with Goku appear behind him, kicking him in the back. Vegeta returns for more, letting out a confident chuckle before blasting him in the chest with a ki wave with Goku smashing him into the ocean near the city's edge. But a moment passes before he bursts forth from the ocean, feigning a fit as he positions himself several above his enemies and points his right hand towards them.
Time to see the full power of their new Super Saiyan forms. He decides with a ball of purple, seemingly unstable energy ball forms before him, one over twenty times his own size and pours all the power his current state can allow into it.
As he expected, the two Saiyan's also charge their own attacks with Goku forming a Kamehameha and Vegeta a Final Flash. With his attack complete, Freeza unleashes a furious yell and launches his ball towards the two warriors, its power causing the sea below to part in its wake and the very ground to crumble into the air. Moments later, both Goku and Vegeta fire off their own blasts and manage to halt the progress of Freeza's ball. The three attacks are in a stand still for a short while the Freeza struggling to keep them back while the Saiyan's still hold back.
"It looks like he's giving it his all." Comments Vegeta, still sporting a confident smirk. "What say we show him what we're really capable of?"
"Sounds good to me." Goku agrees before the two power up further, pushing themselves to their limits and pouring more ki into their attacks, not holding back anything anymore. Their respective beams size doubles as the surge not only blows right through Freeza's attack but seemingly consumes the screaming tyrant before leaving the very planet itself and finally dissipating somewhere in space.
Yet they know he is not dead, for they can still sense his power. A suspicion soon confirmed to be true as Freeza descends from the smoke cloud, landing on the edge of the cliff-side with Goku and Vegeta landing several feet away. While they remain fairly fresh and free of any new injuries, Freeza cannot say the same. Dozens of injuries now cover him from head to toe as he kneels before them, struggling for each breath.
"It's over Freeza, you put up a better fight than last time, but in the end result is the same. You lose." Goku states with a stern tone to his voice. "Now, tell us where the boys are and we'll let you leave this planet on the condition you never come back, that sound good enough to you?"
They expect an arrogant denial or some insult with the word monkey or in Goku's case, a plea for mercy as he did on Namek. To their surprise, he simply starts laughing. First, it starts as a slight giggle but quickly becomes a booming, sinister cackle with him rising back to his feet as if receiving no damage from their attacks at all.
"You are a spectacular imbecile Goku! Truly one of a kind" He proclaims, barely managing to get his laughter under control. "I took away your children to who knows where brought your friends and allies to the doorstep of death and permanently exterminated an entire species! And you would let me go!"
He bursts out laughing again, his only response is a scowl though one hiding a very clear amount of regret behind those stern eyes.
"But I suppose I should be glad that you lot are like that," He states with his cackle dying down, wiping the tears forming in his eyes from it. "I'd have never gotten this far if not for your incompetence."
"Stop wasting our damn time!" Demands Vegeta, his foot stomping down and his clenched fist shaking in barely contained anger. "Tell us where our sons are this instant! Or I'll-"
"Neither of you will be doing anything but dying today," Freeza states matter of factly, his tone both cold and sinister. "For you see, your spectacular foolishness has made you blind to a very simple fact."
"Which is?" Questions Goku, his patience running thin as well.
"I have attained Godhood as well. Now, I know you're not the brightest of individuals so I'll give you a moment to remember exactly what that entails." He tells them with a mocking tone, like a condescending teacher questioning a slow student.
The two shoot knives at him, annoyed by this time wasting question when they both come to the realization fairly quickly. Immediately recognizing this judging by the shocked looks on their faces, Freeza smirks and begins power up, this time with an orange colored flame aura surrounding him instead of the purple one.
"Damn it!" Mutters Vegeta, charging a Big Bang attack in his left hand. "We can't let him transform!"
"Right!" Goku replies, cupping his hands together with a Kamehameha forming in his hand. Knowing they don't have the time to maximize the potency of their blasts, the two fire off these weaker versions regardless, knowing that they cannot allow Freeza to ascend further. Yet just as the attacks reach him, Freeza's aura seemingly goes haywire and bursts into the very sky in the form of a massive, skyscraper-sized pillar of flame, completely dispelling the Saiyan's blasts.
As if Shenron was being summoned, the very sky darkens with the clouds swirling around the pillar. Soon, the wind joins them, forming a tornado of such strength even Goku and Vegeta struggle to keep themselves from being blown away. Soon, the ocean itself follows suit, with every drop of it being sucked into the tornado, swirling around the pillar of flame with thunder and lightning going off in the sky around the phenomena. Soon, the pillars intensity grows, now sucking in entire sections of the cliff-side and buildings being sucked into the vortex of lightning, ocean, the wind, earth, fire and water.
Even the forces of nature itself bow before the might of Freeza's power.
Yet even through all this noise, destruction, and chaos, his voice overcomes it all. A mighty, booming and morbidly distorted yell can be heard over it all, sending chills down the Saiyan's spines as they can somewhat see the transformation process through the calamity. His very flesh is seemingly burned off, revealing something golden underneath it.
To their relief, the pillar eventually subsides, crashing back down to the spot where Freeza was standing. The lightning and thunder are the first to go, followed by the wind which caused dozens upon dozens of rocks, cars, building parts to fall all over the place. Yet somehow, the display persists, for the second the ocean begins to fall back down, over half of it positioned over Freeza instantly vaporizes into a very hot mist, surrounding the entire cliff-side in it. Like water cooling down a freshly forged sword.
The Saiyan warriors blast it all away with casual kiai's not intent on letting Freeza get any advantage. Immediately they begin to regret not savoring the moment of peace it allowed them, for they find a frightening sight before them. Still covered in water from both the ocean and the mist, Freeza stands tall and smirking the orange fire still surrounding him. He stands two feet taller than he once was, his muscles somewhat larger with his skin now purple and a golden armor covering most of his body.
It is not his body that turns them into petrified statues, it is his power. Even after all the years, they've spent battling increasingly stronger and stronger opponents from the Androids to Cell to Buu to even Beerus himself, their presences cannot compare to the one Freeza's now emanating. It's seemingly infinite weight making them feel minuscule and sick to their stomachs just being so near it.
Letting out a chilling but short laugh at their expressions, Freeza folds his arms and looks back and forth between the two of them. "Now then, who should I kill first?"

How the Black Arc Should End (by Lightbing!):
Using his powers the Omni-King restores everything to the moment before Goku and Vegeta perish, humanity's last barrier. Zamasu concedes. He ask for forgiveness(mainly to Goku, Gowasu and Trunks) and understands that his justice isn't justice at all. He asks for judgement and the Omni-King delivers.
Trunks is forced never to travel in time ever again, all the time-machines are destroyed.

"I'm surprised you're not at the ball game with the others." Comments Korin while pouring another glass of sake to his old friend and former pupil Roshi with the two sitting in the middle of his tower, enjoying it's ever beautiful sight of the surrounding area.
"I never much cared for the more mundane sports, to be honest," He drinks the sake. "Except if it's any of the women's leagues if you catch my drift." The old hermit lets out a perverted chuckle, lightly jabbing the feline next to him with his elbow.
"Heavens bless you Roshi, you haven't changed a bit even after all this time," Korin gobbles down a bit of sake. "Its a wonder 18 hasn't killed you yet for saying such things in front of Marron."
"She's certainly given it her best shot," He admits with a light blush, his cheek almost growing sore at the mere thought of all the smacks it's received. "But I've toned it down when the girls around if you can believe it."
Korin remains as stiff as a statue before admitting. "Nope, I don't believe it."
Suddenly, the clouds overhead start to move faster and faster towards the west, their colors changing from white to black and brown. Far off in the distance, the two old martial arts masters notice dozens of lightning bolts followed by the sound of thunder gather around a shining spot of light resembling a shining star. The lights size increases as the wind also suddenly accelerates in both its speed and strength with even the ground starting to shake. With an uneasy feeling growing inside of them, the two masters focus on sensing if this sudden change in the weather is the work of something other than nature.
While they do not sense the source of this light, what they do catch the wind off makes them both gasp in shock. As if they had just appeared out of nowhere, the old masters can sense their friends and pupils depleted strength with only Piccolo's Ki signature standing out amongst them. Then they sense another Ki flying towards the source of the light, the strongest either of them can sense before they lose track of Piccolo, Krillin, and the others energies just as suddenly as they found them.
The gathered clouds begin dispersing with the wind, thunder, lightning and shaking ground calming down as well. This does little to put either of them at ease, however, instead, the two exchange worried glances before Roshi looks back to the spot where the light once was and knows that if Goku hasn't already gotten everyone back to the Lookout yet, something is very, very wrong indeed.
-----------------------------
Meanwhile, West City Ruins
A series of gasps escape Goku's lips as he kneels amongst the rubble of the cliff-side, his gi severely tattered with many cuts and bruises covering his body. Blood trickles out his mouth in small drops as he tries to catch his breath. Nearby he can hear one thunderous blow after another echoing throughout the area from the nearby battle between Vegeta and Freeza.
Though the battle isn't quite the word he would use to describe it, bloodbath feels more appropriate. With a speed too fast for him to even remotely keep track of, Freeza relentlessly attacks Vegeta. First with a powerful right hook to knock him off balance somewhat before delivering a quick series of lightning fast punches to his chest concluding with the tyrant leaping into the air and smashing his fist against the Princes face.
He's sent hurdling through the air though quickly finds himself face first in the dirt after Freeze appears behind him, extending his arm out from the side of his body parallel to the floor and hits him in the neck, knocking Vegeta down. With a chuckle, Freeza charges a red colored Ki blast in his palm, aiming it at the downed Vegeta and nearly fires it when Goku appears kneeling next to the Prince and gets him out of harms way with his Instant Transmission technique.
The Saiyan appears behind Freeza, transferring some of his own energy into Vegeta to get his friend back up faster. He immediately places both his index and middle finger on his forehead to perform the IT once more. However, Freeza proves himself faster once more and with a subtle movement of his eyes, fires a blast small but precise enough at Goku. A moment later, the Super Saiyan's fingertips explode with a blood-curdling scream of pain following suite.
"Y-you... bastard..!" He proclaims, his blood boiling as he clenches the bleeding stumps where half his right hand's index and middle fingers once were. A quick kick to his left kidney sends him rolling on the ground with an eye beam following it. Knowing he can't afford to lose any more fingers as it will leave him unable to make proper punches, Goku abandons the IT and instead propels himself up into the air with a small Kamehameha.
A move he soon regrets as Freeza's tail ensnares itself around his foot like a snake choking its prey with its owner hoisting him upside down in the air. The tyrant folds his arms and gives his old enemy a satisfied smile. "No hands."
Before he even knows it, Goku finds himself assaulted by a flurry of quick, sharp jabs from Freeza's right leg. He screams bloody murder as the overlords nails dig into the flesh of his face, clawing at him like a horde of rabid dogs. Not entirely satisfied with this, Freeza swings the captured Saiyan forward gently before swinging him back with much greater force, causing his chest to smash against the tyrants knee over and over again.
Each time the swing gets faster with more power put into them. Each delivered hit sending a thunderous shockwave ringing through the air. Goku's strength falters so much he reverts to his regular form, left barely conscious from the assault. Knowing he's done for, Freeza tosses him back down and directs his open palm towards the downed Saiyan.
"Pity, I had hoped you'd last at least a little while longer." Comments Freeza with disappointment clear in his voice as he charges a red Ki blast in his palm. "Still, a dead Goku is a dead Goku after all."
He fires the blast with the full intent of vaporizing him when a yellow Ki blast intercepts it from the left, destroying them both. Freeza turns around to find Vegeta kneeling on the ground, panting and bleeding though still clearly intent on doing battle. Not sure whether to be annoyed or pleased with his interference, the tyrant decides to find the answer. Appearing before the Saiyan Prince, he casually catches his determined yet clearly weak punch and shoots him through both his legs with a pair of Death Beams. They quickly go limp with only Freeza's hold on Vegeta's fist keeping him from tumbling back down.
"Remember how you realized the futility of resisting against me on Namek?" Freeza asks him with an amused tone to his voice, his question answered. "Channeling some of that will spare you a great deal of suffering Vegeta. So, why don't you just lay down and die with that imbecile already?"
"Last time..." He speaks up, his voice hoarse. "You didn't have... my son... held captive...!"
Forcing his left arm up, the Prince defiantly yells and fires off a series of Ki blasts right in his old enemies face. The smoke quickly clears, revealing the futility of his attack, something he was well aware off but wasn't about to go along with Freeza's proposal regardless. He breaks what little strength Vegeta still has with a smack to the face so fast his pain receptors fail to properly recognize it until a few seconds afterward. A massive gust of destructive, ocean splitting wind is unleashed from the attack. Were it not for Freeza holding him in place, Vegeta would've been sent flying away for hundreds of miles.
His Super Saiyan form falters soon afterward, his now completely limp body much to Freeza's amusement. "Amazing how you've yet to tire from the beatings your stubbornness has earned you. Still, you won't live long enough to regret it anyway." He turns around to throw Vegeta next to his downed ally only to find Goku gone without a trace. "What is the meaning of-"
Suddenly, a giant shadow is cast over him with a blob-like, twisting and turning shape to it. Immediately he knows the culprit and turns around to blast it away only for Buu ensnare his entire upper body. Grunting in a mix of anger and annoyance, Freeza drops the injured Vegeta where another Buu, this one in his regular form appears and takes him and the equally downed Goku far away while his clone stalls the tyrant.
"If you... value... your life... you'll... release me... at once..." Freeza jabs his arms and tail back and forth in an effort to get the blob-like Buu off him to no avail. Quickly realizing the futility of this tactic, he instead relaxes for a moment, letting Buu devour more of him before he unleashes a fiery explosion wave, blasting the creature off him.
He barely has a chance to catch his breath before a fragment of the blob leaps through the smoke cloud and latches onto his face. More follow, covering up his hands and sticking his tail to his back to make it harder for him break them off. Just as he readies to unleash another explosion wave, he stops dead in his tracks as a strange, energy suddenly shoots throughout his entire body. A flash of light in his eyes blinds him, making him feel numb all over.
The light soon fades with Freeza sight return with it. Standing in front of him he finds a chuckling Majin Buu with a satisfied look on his face. The tyrant glares at him and tries to blast him away only to find something amiss. Even though he can feel his arm thrusting forward, he can't see it actually doing so. He tries again with the same effect. Then he notices how he cannot feel the ground beneath his feet even though he was standing on it mere moments ago.
That's when he remembers watching a piece of footage specifically about the so-called legendary destroyer standing in front of him and immediately feels a blood-curdling anger build up inside. "You turned me into candy, didn't you?" Freeza asks with a cold fury in his voice.
Mister Buu nods, his child-like smile of satisfaction still smeared across his face until Freeza smashes into it, ramming his new, tiny body into it and knocking him onto the ground. The small, sour ball candy Freeza flies into the air, somewhat relieved that he's managed to retain his speed and power at least and promptly begins smashing into the blobs face. "Turnmebackturnmebackturnmebackturnmebackturnmebackturnmeback!"
-----------------------------------
Mountains Near West City
Other Buu in big, big trouble. Concludes Mister Buu while sensing his clone currently receiving a beating from the transformed and very angry tyrant with a seriousness to his attitude rarely seen. At his feet lay both Goku and Vegeta, unconscious and barely breathing. The blobs hands hover two feet above them as he focuses his energy into their bodies. A faint, sparkling glow envelops them both as their injuries and energy reserves are quickly restored, even Goku's sliced off fingers grow back with the Saiyan wincing in pain.
With a pair of tired moans, the two Saiyan's quickly return to the waking world, clumsily getting back on their feet and using the nearby wall for support. Before they can even fully get their bearings, the blob hugs them tightly with the Saiyan's struggling for air. "Buu happy you guys not dead!" He squeezes tighter, making it even harder for them to breathe. It isn't until an elbow to the face courtesy of Vegeta causes him to back off though his happy smile still remains.
"Thanks for the save Buu," Goku pats him on the back with a friendly smile. "If you hadn't come when you did we'd be dead for sure."
"For all the good it does us." Comments Vegeta with frustration seeping out of every word. "We still don't stand a chance of beating him even with our bodies healed."
"Don't be so sure Vegeta, I've got something in mind that'll definitely put the odds back in our favor."
"Let me guess, the Spirit Bomb?" He asks turning to face his fellow Saiyan. "How useful is it really without the boys, others and Namek's to lend it energy?"
"I wouldn't count the others out just yet boys."
The gathered fighters eyes widen with surprise of hearing that voice here of all places. Convinced that it must be some sort of trick, they look up to see where it came from only to find the man himself standing there in the flesh. His cane, glasses, beard and giant turtle shell clinging to his back eliminating any doubt that it is truly him.
"Master Roshi?!" Goku blurts out, shocked as his mentor descends from the top of the wall and lands on them. "W-what are you doing here?!"
"Came to help you of course," He admits with a sly smile. "I was hanging out with Korin back at the tower when suddenly the whole planet started shaking like crazy. At first, I thought it was some kind of earthquake, but then Korin sensed that everyone was in pretty bad shape. So, I and Mister Popo got over to West City with his magic carpet and arrived when Freeza turned into that overgrown Oscar statue. I told Mister Popo to get everyone else out of dodge but I haven't been able to sense anyone but Mister Buu here since then."
"Again, why are you here old man?" Vegeta asks, not pleased with the prospect of having to worry about Roshi of all people when Freeza inevitably comes to breathe down their necks soon.
"I saw you guys weren't doing so well I decided to help out any way I can. If the Spirits Bombs takes as long as Goku's told me, you could use an extra hand in buying some more time for it. Besides," His glasses suddenly flash with a confident chuckle. "You boys aren't the only ones who've been training, I've got a couple new moves myself that'll make Freeza's head spin!"
Goku stares at the old man with clear worry while Vegeta merely glares at the perverted old man, annoyed by his very presence here and not convinced at all of his supposed training results. "I mean, Freeza's going to be focused on us...So... who knows, Master Roshi might be able to get in a couple good hits in...?" Goku states with a sheepish smile in a very apparent hesitation in his voice. Vegeta merely scowls at him, not blinking at all and allowing his look to say more than his words ever could.
"Besides, even if you wanted to get me out of here you can't," Master Roshi states matter of factly. "The Instant Transmission needs a person Ki signature to work right? Well, I don't know about you guys, but I haven't been able to sense anything since Freeza started fighting you two again."
"Now that you mention it, you're right," Goku admits, noticing the truth of his former mentors words now that he has a quiet moment to contemplate. "I haven't been able to feel anything that was outside the city limits. I can't sense Dende or Mister Popo or King Kai..."
"Freeza mentioned some suppression field earlier, " Vegeta states as he recalls Freeza's boast from when they first returned to Earth. "Its possible that device or whatever it is is behind this problem of ours."
"Then we're in trouble..." Goku admits rubbing the back of his lowered head. "If Freeza's figured out how to block even God Ki from being detected, then he might've done the same for natural energy too. That suppression field could make it next to impossible for me to draw energy from anything or anyone outside the city's field."
Suddenly, Buu starts shaking violently, his trembling feet cracking the ground beneath them. "Other Buu can't take much more. Freezer's too cranky and mad for him, Freezer's gonna break free of candy body soon."
"Candy body?" Repeats Goku as he remembers the evil Buu using a similar technique on him and Vegeta during their brief stint as Vegito. Still rubbing the back of his head, he also recalls how Roshi and Korin were able to sense the others during Freeza's transformation, meaning he had to have at least temporarily broken the suppression field. With a sly smile, he addresses Buu. "You can see and feel everything your clones doing right now?"
Buu nods.
"Then, if Freeza's going to get mad enough to actually break your candy spell, could you try to make him even angrier?"
Vegeta raises an eyebrow. "What are you up to now Kakarot?"
"Evening the odds," He ominously replies before looking back to Buu. "But we'll need some more help to pull it off."
--------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Elsewhere
It's amazing how she's been able to sleep through all this. Videl comments with a smile as she looks at the peaceful, slumbering face of her little joy Pan in her arms. She sits atop a tree stump, listening to her faint little heartbeat, trying to keep her worry for Gohan and the others at bay.
Her father tries the same thing though with far less success. Mr. Satan paces back and forth inside the cave with the same nerve-racking mix of fear and uncertainty that has plagued him ever since the day he first met the true, most powerful men on Earth 15 years ago. Every time he thinks back on that faithful day of the Cell Games, he can hardly believe he's managed to become friends with such a group, even family with them.
"Uh Dad, you might want to look down," She points to his feet with him noticing his constant back and forth has formed a small trench at his feet. With an embarrassed chuckle, Mister Satan gets the message and decides to sit next to her though the instant he does so his left leg starts twitching nervously on its own.
"Little sluggers still asleep I see." He states looking at his grandchild with a proud smile, his nervousness all but disappearing at the sight of her sleeping calmly next to him. "Not losing sleep over anything. She's gonna be a helluva fighter with a fearlessness like that."
With any luck, she won't ever have to fight... She thinks to herself, trying to keep her calm exterior as her thoughts momentarily wander to Gohan and the others anyway. Despite knowing of their strength, Videl cannot help but worry for their safety. Her first time getting involved in all of this resulted in most of them being killed along with the entire human race. A scenario she doesn't want her infant daughter to ever have to deal with.
Despite her attempts to hide her concern, her father sees through the facade and goes to place his arm around her when he feels someone poke him twice on the shoulder. "YYYIIIAAAGGGHGH!" He yells out leaping back to his and entering his combat stance though his whole body shakes from head to toe. To his relief and annoyance, he merely finds Buu standing there and takes a deep breath. "Good grief, why'd you have to go and scare me like that-"
"Mister Satan!"
This time, both Mister Satan and Videl are taken back by this sudden change in Buu's voice. "G-Goku?!" They ask in unison with the blob nodding in agreement.
"Buu here's transferring my message over to you. Usually, I'd do it through King Kai but... Well, let's just say my options are a little limited. Which is why I need your help to save the world again."
"Wait!" Videl asks, placing her hand on Buu's shoulder. "Goku... I don't know what's going on out there, but before you go do whatever it is you need to with me dad, could please tell me if Gohan and the boys are alright?"
The Saiyan on the other side of the planet mentally gulps, completely forgetting about what to say to Videl. If Freeza really did go after the boys, then Videl must've been with Gohan when he started attacking at least...
Buu turns towards her and gives her a comforting smile. "The boys are all fine, a little beat up but alive. Mister Popo took them to the Lookout where Dende's probably patching them up now."
She returns the smile, her face brightening up quite a bit upon hearing this news. "Thank you Goku, you've got no idea what a relief that is to hear."
Hopefully, this works so I can get him back to us all for real... He mentally hopes, trying to keep the facade up before turning back to Mister Satan. "Now then, here's what we'll need you to do champ..."
-------------------------------------
West City Ruins
"Turnmebackturnmebackturnmebackturnmebackturnmebackturnmeback-" Freeza gasps for air, hovering his new, minuscule body a couple of feet above the blob and pants heavily though wonders how exactly this bodily function is working without any mouth or nose to do it with. He continues glaring at the downed blob on the ground, its face mangled and its breathing faint. Mentally cursing himself for the damage he's caused it, damage which will make it difficult for him to continue interrogating, Freeza instead lets him heal.
His three years of studying the Earthling's yielded much insight into their abilities and Buu is no exception. All he needs is a few moments and the blob will recover from this damage easily enough. Buu proves him right as his face morphs back into its proper shape with him gasping for air.
"Now then Buu," Freeza speaks up with the barely contained fury ever present in his voice. "Unless you want me to keep bashing your face in until you can't put it back together, I suggest you undo this spell of yours and I'll give you a 15-second head start to run as quickly away from here as you can. I think that's more than fair-"
A spit in the 'face' silences the tyrant with the blob sticking his tongue out, giggling at his childish antics. Freeze remains still and silent in the air, feeling the moist spit and somehow, beyond even his own comprehension, gets even angrier. His tiny candy body starts emitting a faint, fiery glow before he charges back into Buu though this time his attack misses. For the blob disperses his head with the rest of him leaping away before the scattered pieces join back.
Freeza attacks again, his speed growing with his frustration as he tries to fly into Buu's chest. Once again, the blob sticks his tongue out and merely forms a hole in the spot where the tyrant tries to smack into. This does little to deter the invader who tries again only for Buu to move another section away. Each time, Freeze's aura shines brighter and stronger, his attacks becoming faster and more difficult for the Buu clone to ignore.
Soon his attacks begin to connect, inch by inch slicing through the legendary destroyers body at such speed it doesn't even get enough time to properly regenerate before he cuts through the same spot once more. The Buu clone, now resembling a pink piece of swiss cheese with legs tumbles to the ground with the grave amount of damage accumulated.
Yet even then, Buu still giggles and sticks his tongue out at Freeza as a continued act of defiance. Finally having enough of his antics, Freeza roars at the top of his lungs with his candy like body beginning to crack. More and more of them appear with fire escaping through them before he finally explodes like a supernova outward, shattering his magically altered form and incinerating everything within a 5-mile radius.
He takes a few deep breaths amongst the scorched earth all around him, only noticing his restored body after feeling the ground beneath his feet and tail. A relieved cackle escapes his lips as a rush of happiness overcomes him. His small celebration is cut short when he hears the beeping noise coming from his holo-computer, prompting him to bring it out.
It appears I've damaged the suppression field over the city. He comments upon seeing an alert from the fields systems, stating that a recent explosion of energy damaged their generators though the ones responsible for the planet-wide field remain function well enough. A small issue as Freeza knew such a thing was likely to happen, with a few button presses he brings out a separate screen to activate a set of backups to bring the field back up. That's when he senses Goku's quickly rising power off in the distance.
What are you up to this time Goku? Curious as to what the Saiyan is doing now, Freeza brings out a third screen in command of one of the many drones still monitoring the planet and activates the feed of one currently near his enemies. He cannot help but smirk at the sight of Goku standing in the middle of a field surrounded by small and large mountains, his hands pointed upward with Buu, Vegeta and Roshi forming a circle around him, all on edge from likely sensing his recent burst of power. Above them, he sees an all too familiar ball of blue energy growing overhead.
"So, you've resorted to the spirit bomb," Freeza comments with a satisfied smirk and tone to his voice. He quickly concludes that Buu likely agitated him on purpose to damage the fields enough for Goku to form his attack. Eager to toy with their emotions just as they have to him, Freeza places a timer on the backup generators of 90 seconds and leaps into the air. Suppressing his power and resorting to his raw bodies strength to leap across the nearby mountainside and hides behind a peak just outside the field, his holo-computer still feeding him footage from the group gathered there.
"Why isn't that thing growing faster?!" Asks Vegeta in frustration at the meager size of the ball overhead. "You know we don't have much time before Freeza comes here!"
"We've got to wait for Mister Buu to get to another town so Satan's message can get around," Goku replies trying to sound confident but his face betrays his true worry. "That power outage in North City was just a small snag in our plan."
"A power outage conveniently on the day Freeza decides to attack." Master Roshi comments out-loud, the meaning behind his words not lost on the Saiyan's or Buu though none speak further, opting to instead focus on keeping an eye out for the tyrant, unaware still that he's so very close to them.
Checking on the timer to see that he's got 50 seconds left, Freeza leaps into the air and lands in front of the group, his arms folding over his chest and a smirk on his face. Immediately the Earth warriors jump in front of Goku, entering their battle stances with Vegeta transforming back into his God infused Super Saiyan form.
"I see you've resorted to that technique again Goku, hoping it'll work better now than it did on Namek?" He asks with a condescending tone with merely their joint scowls serving as responses. "Seeing as I'm feeling particularly pleased with having my body back, I'll let you form the ball. On one condition of course."
"Bastard still wants to play games with us..." Vegeta mutters as he quickly starts losing his patience once more.
Goku remains silent, knowing that Freeza could easily just shoot him through the skull in his current exposed state but won't from his vast arrogance. He smiles internally at how it is once again clouding his judgment right here and now. "Fine, I'll have it your way." He states confidently with a smirk, earning shocked looks from his gathered allies.
"Not like you've much choice left."
Freeza unfolds his arms and with a quick jab of his right one unleashes a kiai so powerful it easily sends away all but Goku flying into the air. Roshi takes the fall the worst of it, smashing face first into a nearby wall and falling to the ground, seemingly unconscious, unsurprising given his strength level. Vegeta manages to stabilize himself in mid-air while Buu lands without much difficulty on his feet but Freeza is not done with him. The tyrant appears before the so-called legendary destroyer of worlds and with a jab of his arm, consumes Buu entirely in a red wave of gargantuan Ki of such strength it vaporizes him completely.
"And now for my condition," The tyrant appears in front of Goku with his right hands index finger pointed at the Saiyan. "If your allies here can save you from this and you don't drop dead on the spot from it, I'll gladly let you fire off that Spirit Bomb at me."
Before Goku can even ask what he means, the tyrant unleashes a blitz of Death Beams at him, shredding his flesh like a knife through butter. He hits him just hard enough for him to properly concentrate without striking at one of his vital spots. Not that Goku could even gather if he wanted too, for the timer ran out just when Freeza started his assault, once again blocking him off to any Ki from outside the West City dome, not that Goku can even notice this under such a barrage of attacks anyway.
"Kakarot!" Vegeta screams with his aura flaring and charges at his decades-long tormentor with a savage fury commanding him. He manages to kick Freeza in the face though not only does Freeza not react, he merely keeps firing on and starring at the screaming Goku with a smile. The Saiyan Prince tries again, this time punching him several times to no effect.
"Stop toying with me!" He roars and continues attacking the tyrant all over with punches and kicks, ignoring the mounting pain in his knuckles from punching someone essentially made of the universe's most durable exoskeleton. Freeza merely continues firing as Goku screams bloody murder, his body now covered with dozens of bleeding gashes and cut yet he still clings on, knowing he has no other choice.
Vegeta, on the other hand, must relent as his bleeding and aching knuckles tremble so much he can neither feel his hands nor form a fist with them. Even his anger and adrenaline could keep the pain at bay for so long. Ignoring this, he charges a pair of Ki blasts in his hands and goes to throw them only for the overlord o casually flick him in the forehead with a quick swipe of his tail. The force of the attack is so great, Vegeta is smashed into the ground, his entire body spinning in and out of it several times before finally halting over 50 feet away from where he was.
Despite his best efforts, the Saiyan Prince finds himself unable to get back to his feet, his body suffering massive damage from one simply flicker, even dropping out of its Super Saiyan form against his will. But he persists regardless, trying to fight through the dizziness and pain to aid his suffering fellow Saiyan.
"It seems your allies have failed Goku," Freeza states with a cackle as he watches Goku fall on one knee, his arms shaking as they can barely keep themselves up along with the rest of his body. Streams of blood trickle down his person, the upper part of his gi is now shredded away entirely with a whole section of it at his left leg now blown off to his thigh.
"Kamehameha!" An older, booming voice proclaims as the giant blue wave of Ki rushes towards Freeza and smacks into it, though the tyrant barely even feels its effect at all. Still firing his Crazy Finger Beam barrage on Goku, he looks to his left and finds an almost comically bulked up, shirtless Master Roshi scowling at him with his cane stabbed into the ground next to him. "Knew that'd get your attention."
Freeza lets out a laugh of genuine amusement. "Ah yes, Goku's master, the former most powerful man in the world."
"Guess we've got something in common then, seeing as you're the former most powerful being in the universe. Then again, if Beerus has been around for as long as I've heard he has, you never even had that title did you?"
The tyrant keeps smiling though his eyes narrow at the old humans taunt. "Brave words for one in your position. Most men would bite their tongues when facing an opponent such as myself."
"Probably, but I'm not like most men," He clenches his fists tighter. "I've met your kind before, I wasn't afraid then and I'm not afraid now."
"I sincerely doubt you've met anyone like me old man, the only reason Beerus, a God even bothered coming here is-"
"I'm not talking about Gods, I'm talking about people like you." He interjects, causing Freeza's smirk to fully vanish now. "Sure you might have different looks, names or attacks but in the end, your kind is always the same. Spineless cowards with a power they neither earned nor deserve, stepping over anyone beneath them simply because they can. Never learning the simple truth of the universe."
"Which is?" Freeza asks, his barrage of beams growing lesser and lesser as he diverts more and more attention to Roshi.
"You all get what's coming to you sooner or later."
Once more, the tyrant laughs. "And I suppose you're the one who will deliver justice to me? Please, this worlds far superior fighters couldn't even make flinch at my zenith. Your threat is like many I've heard before, void and pointless."
This time, it is Roshi who lets out a chuckle before charging a pair of yellow Ki balls in the palm of his hands. He jabs his arms forward and fires the two meager looking blasts at the unimpressed Freeza who merely looks on, half-bored and half-annoyed by the old humans efforts. The beams suddenly change course just as they're about to hit their target and instead fly overhead, dispersing into several smaller blasts that all smash into the ground all around Freeza.
A massive smoke cloud gathers around the alien overlord who merely chuckles and keeps firing at Goku, still not feeling Roshi's attacks at all. Several moments of silence go by when he Freeza hears a strange buzzing noise coming from where Roshi was standing. Narrowing his eyes, he senses a Ki attack his way though one slower and of a different shape from the rest. That's when he sees it, his eyes immediately widening in shock and for the first time since coming back to this planet to exact his revenge, he feels genuine fear.
He stares at the Destructo Disk coming his way and despite himself, feels his whole body trembling at the sight of it. Memories of Namek flood his thoughts, of how he too created his own variation of the attack to kill Goku, his own attack which sliced him in half and left him begging for a Super Saiyan of all things to save him. Clenching his jaw in anger, Freeza takes back control of his body and leaps into the air just as the Destructo Disk is about to reach him, putting a halt to his blaster fire on Goku.
Both Saiyan's look on in shock rivaling Freeza's amazed that he actually managed to force Freeza to stop attacking. For if the tyrant was merely toying with him, he would've destroyed the Disk and kept on his assault. Freeza himself lands back on the ground, his head lowered and his person trembling in a blood-curdling rage.
With a speed none present but Freeza himself could even begin to fathom, the overlord appears before the old human and with a quick smack not only breaks Roshi's cane but also causes an open fracture in his right arm. The old turtle hermit bites back the yell of pain just waiting to escape his throat, not that he could let it out if he wanted too, for Freeza hoists him off the ground by the neck.
Despite his situation, Roshi smiles as his glasses fall of his head and fall to the ground, becoming a bit dented on impact. "Made you... flinch..."
Freeza tightens his grip on the martial arts masters neck with many ideas of how to kill him coursing through his mind.
"Freeza!" Goku yells, managing to get back on his feet despite the horrid pain all over his body, his face caught in a permanent scowl directed at the tyrant. "Don't. Even. Think about hurting him. If you value your worthless life you'll let him go right now and fight me instead!" His yell echoes throughout the area, its intensity surpassing the many equally booming yells he sent Freeza's way during their titanic clash on Namek.
The tyrant smiles, remembering something else from Namek, the moment which prompted Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation. The look of horror on his face as he watches his best friend get thrust into the air before blowing up into tiny pieces of meat and beam. He turns around, letting Goku see the smile on his face.
CRACK!
Goku's heart skips a beat upon hearing the sound of bone snapping in half, his body frozen as it echoes throughout his mind over and over. His eyes move away from Freeza onto the still smirking Master Roshi who's limp body hits the ground with a loud thud. He simply keeps staring at his body, forgetting about everything else at that moment as the whole world is simply frozen-in-place for him.
It is not until he hears another crack and thud, this time of Freeza bringing down his foot onto his second father's glasses and crushes them completely with a look of utter satisfaction smeared across his face. "A far quicker death than he deserves."
With his fist clenched so tightly, he can feel his teeth ache under the strain, Goku's gaze goes to Freeza and with a rush of anger he has not felt in many years roars at the top of his lungs. The rush of adrenaline and power overtake his body, making it forget about its many injuries as he transforms into a Super Saiyan, his golden fire scorching the ground all around him.
"FFFFRRRREEEEZZZAAA!"
His mighty roar echoes throughout the area with the twisting, powerful gust of wind, his fury even frightening the downed Vegeta starring at the sight from the ground. Freeza merely turns to fully face the enraged Goku who, instead of throwing the Spirit Bomb instead lowers it onto himself and yells as he absorbs its accumulated energy directly into himself.
With a blue/white glow now surrounding his body, the Super Saiyan cups his hands together. "KA... ME... HA... ME..." His signature attack forms as he places them to his side, Freeza merely stands there, watching him with an obsessed stare. Goku pours more and more power into his blast, knowing he cannot afford to hold anything back, though if he could he doesn't particularly want to. The rage consumes him entirely as he can feel his whole body ache and tremble from the strain, yet as he has done so many times before, he ignores it and with a thunderous shout unleashes his attack. "HA!"
The blast bursts forth in a brilliant blue light as it explodes from Goku's hands and makes its way towards its target: Freeza. All he's done today permeates through his thoughts, the destruction of the Namek home-world and people, the chaos on Earth, the kidnapping of the boys and now, murdering his master right in front of him. Yet even in his nearly blinded state of anger, he notices a small, shining light where Freeza once stood like a star in the night sky. An instant later, a sudden, paralyzing pain in his left shoulder leaves him frozen-in-place.
Goku merely stands there, flabbergasted by what just happened before the smell of his own burning flesh and smoke assaults his senses. He looks to the source of it and finds a fist-sized, smoking hole in his left shoulder near his heart. Kamehameha's shape becomes unstable, wildly twisting and turning until finally breaking apart just as it was about to reach Freeza. That's when he sees the tyrant, still smirking with merely his right index finger pointed at him and realizes all it took him to break through his most powerful attack.
A finger... The Saiyan mentally concludes, his mouth hanging open in a mix of awe and terror. He cut through it... with just a finger...With all his remaining strength gone, Goku lets his weak arms slump limply to his sides as he falls to his knees, his head lowered and his Super Saiyan form veining due to the lack of Ki in his body.
Nearby, Vegeta, managing to pull himself out of the crater finds his fellow Saiyan in that position with Freeza walking up to him casually.
"Kakarot!" His yell reverberates throughout the area and is completely ignored as the tyrant stops just in front of Goku. "Damn it Kakarot! Stop standing around there and-" Yet as the Saiyan Prince takes a good, hard look at his rival he realizes the futility of his plea. For he too had that same look on Namek, the look of a man who's will to fight has been completely and utterly shattered. The look Freeza laughed at after he easily deflected his strongest attack.
And so he has done it once again to another Saiyan, one Vegeta never thought would see happen to. Unbelievable, he's actually given up...
Hoisting Goku back up to his feet by grabbing his hair, Freeze brings him to eye level and cannot help but smile upon seeing the defeated look on his face. "Given the number of times I've dreamed of this moment I was quite worried the reality wouldn't meet my expectations," He raises his hand up, forming a fist. "How foolish of me, this is far better than anything my imagination could conjure up."
He punches the defeated Saiyan across the face, bringing back into the ground coughing up blood. Immediately, the tyrant kicks him in the kidney, sending him flying into a nearby rock wall which he smacks into face first. Goku coughs up blood as he lies in the dirt with Freeza approaching him, both his mind and body to beaten to even attempt any resistance. Instead, he lies there and simply waits for his enemy to continue his punishment.
It comes in the form of Freeza continuously stomping on the bleeding hole in his chest, like a guillotine coming down on a man's neck, he bashes it over and over. Goku screams and coughs harder and harder with more blood escaping his lips, with only the half-insane, a half-ecstatic cackle of Freeza being louder. Behind them, Vegeta looks on in anger, angry at himself for simply lying there, at Freeza for still haunting him and angry with Kakarot for quitting now at the worst possible moment.
"I won't die like that... not again..." Pushing himself back to his feet, Vegeta's aura flares up as he takes to the air and charges towards Freeza in an act of defiance. One which is quickly crushed as a single elbow strike to his gut knocks the air out of Vegeta and nearly back to the ground were it not for the tyrant's tail twisting around his neck before he can fall. He gasps for air as the golden tail squeezes tightly around his neck while he punches it in a fruitless attempt to escape before Freeza elbow strikes him again, putting an end to his last resistance.
The overlord once again grabs Goku by the hair, lifting the barely Saiyan off the ground while raising his other arm in preparation for the killing blow: a hand jab with his fingers outstretched made to run him through the chest. "Seeing you both in such sorry states truly makes my heart ache. So, just for the sake of letting you all die with some peace, know that I will treat your sons very well as the generals of my army."
Both Saiyan's freeze-in-place upon hearing this with Vegeta in particular renewing his attempts at breaking free of Freeza's tail. "You'll do... no such thing... you bastard-" Another elbow strike quickly silences him.
"And don't worry about your little planet, I've no intention of destroying it. With all the wondrous inventions you've made for me and the organization, I would be a fool to cull such a clever little civilization. Instead, I will make it my new capital from which I will secure my dominion of the universe from this day until the end of days," An insane smile forms on his face. "All of which was made possible by you and your incompetence, truly, it has been my greatest ally."
Knowing he's dealt the final psychological blow, Freeza's arm thrusts forward to run Goku through before halting an inch away from it. The emergence of a new power leaves them all frozen, an old, powerful and very destructive Ki both of the present Saiyan's recognize well enough, but not Freeza. The tyrant looks to his left and for the second time, today feels a tinge of fear upon laying eyes on the one being he really didn't want to deal with, at least not yet.
"Hello, Freeza," Beerus states with a low threatening tone to his voice. "Its been quite awhile, hasn't it?"
How the Black Arc Should End (by Lightbing!):
Using his powers the Omni-King restores everything to the moment before Goku and Vegeta perish, humanity's last barrier. Zamasu concedes. He ask for forgiveness(mainly to Goku, Gowasu and Trunks) and understands that his justice isn't justice at all. He asks for judgement and the Omni-King delivers.

The movie tried to play it up as Vegeta listening to Whis' advice, which would be fine if we didn't feel so... random I suppose? I don't know, for a stubborn guy he just suddenly listens when a guy tells him to chill out and be patient. It's not a bad idea and Vegeta is certainly the least shit out of the main three characters in the movie but it felt so odd.Lord Beerus wrote:It was such a joy reading the last two chapters. Goku and Vegeta actually teaming up to fight against a common enemy together is such a rare occurrence as it never happened in the manga and it rarely happened in the anime itself. And I thought that with Freeza coming back it would have been the perfect opportunity to have Goku and Vegeta team up, but it never turned out that way, which was a shame. One thing I always found so weird abot Resurrection F was Vegeta just complying with Goku and standing on the sidelines while Goku fought Freeza. I mean, he did eventually get fed up and attacked out frustration at having to wait so long, but then he just went with flow again and went back to sidelines at the wishes of Goku and Freeza. I guess it kinda speak volumes for how much Vegeta's character has evolved because if a scenario like this happened at any point in the story prior to the Majin Boo arc, Vegeta would have never stayed on the sideline regardless of what Goku or anyone said. He would have jumped straight into the battle.
Also, I'm amazed you didn't comment on

"What is going on out there?" Beerus wonders out loud, stopping in the middle of the hallway leading to the dining room upon sensing a trio of powerful Ki signatures far, far away, their energy permeating throughout the temple. All three are undoubtedly Gods based on their strength and energy type. He immediately recognizes the two belonging to Goku and Vegeta. The third one, who he cannot recognize, worries him. Not only because it completely dwarfs both the Saiyan's power but also is a very clear match for his own.
The nightmare invades his thoughts once more, sending a chill down the old Gods spine as he genuinely begins to worry over the possibility of it coming true. For if his premonition of the Super Saiyan God proved itself correct, this one could as well? Then, just as suddenly as the signatures appeared they vanish without a trace. Annoyed that his post-bathing relaxation is ruined, Beerus lets out a cold sigh and picks up the pace to the dining hall where Whis will no doubt shed some light on this matter.
As expected, he finds Whis sitting on the main chair of the feasting table, his cane rammed into the ground as the usually darkly lit room is illuminated by dozens of green glowing triangles hovering in the air. All forming a sort of film projection up in the air above the table as Whis silently observes it, no doubt with his usual analytical eye.
"Thought I might find you here," Beerus declares with a yawn, getting the attention of his martial arts master and caretaker who smiles upon seeing him.
Whis promptly exits the chair meant for his former pupil and bows his head in respect. "Greetings Lord Beerus, given your premature awakening, am I correct in assuming you did not sleep well?"
"I slept just fine up until this strange nightmare woke... me... up..." Words escape him as his eyes focus on the projection hovering before him and he finds the source of the incredible yet vicious Ki. Despite his body being quite a bit different than what he remembers from their last encounter, his unmistakable face alone is enough for the God of Destruction to recognize him.
"Freeza..." Beerus mutters faintly, approaching the projection as if it just hypnotized him. He stares at projection, observing the PTO leaders new form as he effortlessly defeats not one but two Saiyan's who surpassed the power of Super Saiyan Gods. Despite never seeing Freeza in this state, Beerus cannot help but feel as if he's seen it somewhere before. That's when a portion of the nightmare flashes before his eyes and his heart skips a beat as all of Freeza's features, his head shape, tail and especially fiery aura all perfectly match the second figure responsible for burning Beerus and the shadowy figure both to ash.
"Lord Beerus?"
Upon hearing his caretakers voice, Beerus is snapped out of his trance notices both a cold sweat all over his body and finds himself panting frantically, his heart beating so hard it echoes in his ears and smashes against his chest. He quickly regains his composure, wiping off the disgusting sweat off his forehead and looks back at the projection, this time with a stern look to his face. "Get my clothes Whis, we're going to Earth."
----------------------------------------------
Now, Mountains of West City
"Hello Freeza," Beerus states with a low threatening tone to his voice, the image of Freeza burning him to cinder constantly in his mind as he stares at his current golden, fiery form. "It's been quite awhile, hasn't it?"
The tyrant doesn't immediately respond, eying the God of Destruction and purported most powerful being in the universe closely, suspicious of any foul play, especially from the silent Whis standing behind him with a bored look on his face. Regardless, Freeza conjures up a smile. "Indeed, it has Lord Beerus, to what do I owe the honor of your presence here?"
"Your little ruckus here has caused quite a stir, one large enough to wake me up from my slumber," Beerus half-lies to the tyrant, his eyes going to the barely conscious Vegeta and Goku in Freeza's clutches. "And for someone who needs his sleep, that's quite troublesome as I'm sure you're capable of understanding."
"My sincerest apologies Lord Beerus," He lets go off Goku, letting the defeated Saiyan fall back to the ground so he can properly bow to the God of Destruction. "I truly had no intention of troubling you in the slightest. My business lies purely with the inhabitants of this planet." The tyrant tells him honestly, for he truly did not wish to face Beerus just yet without preparing further.
Beerus too conjures up a smile. "Apology accepted Lord Freeza, however," His eyes open back up, immediately forming a scowl with his somewhat lowering tone. "I can't let you kill those two. Despite how much their loathsome incompetence might warrant it, I need them alive."
With a snap of his fingers, Whis goes into action. In an instant, he vanishes from sight before re-appearing kneeling next to the downed Goku. Freeza's eyes barely manage to turn right before he vanishes once again, this time snatching Vegeta from his tail hold, gets Roshi's body off the ground until finally returning to his master side with all three warriors in toe.
"Take them back to the Lookout so that Namekian can heal them, but only just enough so their lives are out of danger. I do not want anyone interfering or directly observing what comes next, am I understood?"
"Perfectly Lord Beerus." Whis responds with a respectful bow before vanishing once again, putting an incredible distance between himself and the only Gods left standing in a mere instant as far as Freeza can sense.
Knowing he has more important matters at hand, Freeza shifts focus away from pursuing them and onto the genuine threat before him. "Since when does Beerus, the legendary God of Destruction save anyone?" Freeza asks with his arms folding and a smirk on his face.
"Don't mistake my timely rescue an altruistic act Freeza." Beerus gives him a smirk of his own. "I've merely spent too much time waiting for a worthy opponent to endlessly entertain me only to let not one, but two of them die before they can fulfill their purpose."
"If you want a worthy opponent, then you've made a grave mistake in choosing those two. As you've no doubt seen from my display of strength in this battle, I've more than proven myself far stronger than either of the so-called legendary Super Saiyan Gods."
"True, and if didn't know you so well I'd gladly accept such a proposition and simply let the you have your way with those two." Beerus begins casually pacing around the tyrant, picking the dirt in his ear. "Unfortunately, I do know you Freeza. From our first encounter, I immediately knew the kind of person I was dealing with."
"Enlighten me."
"You loathe being beneath anyone," Beerus states matter of factly. "From the moment you laid eyes on me, I knew you despised me with all your being but not for the same reasons as most do. Many hate me for my responsibilities as the God of Destruction. The rest cover in fear of my very idea regardless of my presence, while my equals scold me for my so-called pettiness. But you? You hate me because your ego simply cannot allow anyone to be more powerful than you. It's probably the reason you never even considered bringing back your father from the dead despite the clear advantage you'd both have as Gods. Despite this, even you had the good sense to know you had no hoping of surpassing me, so you bent the knee like any obedient mortal."
He stops in front of Freeza, the two goods mutually scowling at one another. "But you're not a mortal anymore. Now you've the means of truly turning yourself into the most powerful being in the universe, a title you always sought but could never truly have, until today. It is for that reason I'd be a fool to let someone who'd readily snap my neck at the first chance to even roam my universe freely, let alone someone with whom I'd spar with."
Freeza's features soften up as he smiles while Beerus remains stern. "And you think the Saiyan's wouldn't do that if given the chance?"
"Goku and Vegeta's love for battle is quite clear, yes, but they feel no malice towards me. They simply wish to fight me for the thrill and challenge of it, they pose no real threat to my well being. You most certainly are. Besides," He cracks his knuckles, entering his fighting pose. "I already decided on killing you when I woke up a year ago, and I never go back on my decisions."
The tyrant bursts out laughing, with Beerus narrowing his eyes at him. "May I ask what it is you find so humorous in that?"
Oh how easily an immortal forgets... The tyrant mentally comments, fighting back to urge to bring up their mutual involvement in the destruction of Planet Vegeta lest it further provoke Beerus into fighting even harder against him. "Whats humorous is that you stand there, calling me arrogant beyond measure yet still you think I'll die as easily as all the others you've massacred throughout the many eons of your existence." Freeza unfolds his arms and enters his own fighting stance as well. "If you truly wish to be rid of me, then you'll have to bleed for it!"
With a pair of might yells, the two Gods auras flare up with the ground at their feet cracking apart, the whole planet quivering in fear of their rising power. Holding nothing back, they two leaps into the air and ram into one another, unleashing an explosion of raw energy in their wake which engulfs the entire mountainside in a matter of seconds. Inside this energy ball, Beerus and Freeza exchange blows, neither managing to land a damaging hit on the other as each of their strikes further increases the explosions size.
Eventually, Beerus breaks the stalemate with a kick to the tyrants face, sending him flying through what's left of the mountains until he finally lands miles away in the midst of West City's ruins. Feeling pain for the first time in his ultimate form, Freeza cannot help but smirk as he wipes away the small bit of blood on his lips. For even through all his enjoyment of dominating Goku and Vegeta, a sense of excitement creeps in at the prospect of putting the fruits of his training to a true, worthy test.
Sensing Beerus' approach, he fires off a series of Ki blasts from his finger aimed in his general direction. Each seemingly tiny blast results in an explosion twice the size of West City's baseball stadium, leveling everything in their wake in balls of red, energy. Noticing that Beerus' signature has vanished, Freeza stops firing and instead tries to find him with his the aid of his more traditional senses.
A wise decision for he hears the buzzing of an incoming attack and promptly begins running in the opposite direction of an orange colored beam way as it to leaves nothing but gargantuan explosions in its wake, annihilating all in its path.
Freeza darts around the blasts, hearing the screams of his surviving men still littering the ground as they are vaporized out of existence. The smell of fire, smoke and burning flesh is ever present while Beerus' attacks wipe out the scant remnants of West City.
A sudden earthquake along with the halting of the blast stops Freeza in his tracks as the entire peninsula is suddenly pulled right out of the ground and lifted high in the sky. A massive shadow falls over the floating piece of Earth and upon looking upward, Freeza finds Beerus holding another chunk of roughly the equal size.
With a smirk on his face, the God of Destruct swings the gargantuan slab of land at the one upon which his enemy stands on like a mallet descending on an anvil. Steadying himself, Freeza waits until it gets closer before thrusting his arms up and catching it with the ground cracking beneath his feet.
If we continue fighting like this, the Earth will be destroyed before I can conquer it!
With this realization in mind, Freeza grits his teeth before unleashing a fiery explosion wave of such power it vaporizes the two slabs and sends Beerus reeling back. Knowing he cannot afford to continue battling here, Freeza charges towards the God of Destruction, managing to place him in a headlock before flying upwards as fast as he can.
Despite Beerus' squirming and elbow jabs, he quickly manages to get them far away from the planet and intends to mash the trapped God of Destruction right into the Moon. Yet his plan goes awry when Beerus strikes Freeza in the face with the back of his head, and using his own incredible momentum grabs the tyrant by the arm and rams him into the satellite world.
A fourth of it is leveled on impact, smashed to pieces with more following as Beerus kicks the downed Freeza in the head, causing him to skid into the ground, carving another quarter of it clean in half. He appears just ahead of the grunting, skidding tyrant and smiles as he leans his leg back to kick him away in the opposite direction. Instead, Freeza vanishes from view just ahead of his foot and an instant later, Beerus feels the sharp pain of Freeza's elbow smash against his skull from above, smashing him downward.
Yelling and grunting as his body smashes against kilometers of rock, Beerus soon enters the inner layers of the Moon, breaks against its core before exiting the inner layers, emerging on the other side of the satellite world, forming an entire cave system running through it. The satellite begins cracking all over, both on the inside and outside, unable to stay together with this kind of damage. Once again, Freeza recognizes the danger of this much stone plummeting and smashing into the Earth and quickly moves to remove this potential problem from the equation.
Extending his hand towards the planet, Freeza roars as a gargantuan, swirling ball of purple Ki forms in front of him, growing in size as he pours more and more of his energy into it. In a matter of seconds, the Golden Death Balls sizes rivals that of the Moon itself which it completely swallows as Freeza fires it at the still dazed Beerus on the Moons dark side.
The God of Destruction takes notice of the attack and immediately realizes the folly of attempting to dodge it. Instead, he extends his hands forward and creates a Ki ball around his entire body, protecting him from Freeza's attack as it vaporizes the Moon and blasts him away deeper into the void of space. Knowing that him staying there would only draw Beerus back to Earth, Freeza powers up and flies after him, taking their battle deeper into the vast, endless cosmos.
-------------------------------------
The Lookout
Sensing this massive spike in power, Goku's eyes burst open with as he gasps, his head shooting up to find Tien, Chiaotzu, Vegeta and Whis standing before him. The two Earthlings smile upon seeing his recovery while Vegeta merely gives him a quick glance before yelling at Whis, arguing with him as the caretaker turns his back to the Saiyan Prince, angering him further.
"Goku! You're okay!" Shouts Chiaotzu as both he and Tien make their way to the Saiyan with warm, friendly smiles on their faces. "For a second there we thought you weren't going to wake up at all!"
"H-how long have I been out...?" He asks, still somewhat dazed from his sleep as Tien reaches out to help him back onto his feet.
"Only a few minutes," Tien states, finally managing to pull him up. "When Lord Whis brought you back, you were in such bad shape we didn't know if Dende could even save you in time."
Feeling a lump in his throat upon hearing the young Namekian's name, with hesitation in his voice he asks. "Does... Does he know?"
Tien and Chiaotzu's smiles immediately fade, their silence, averted gazes and solemn expressions saying more than any words ever could. With an even heavier heart, Goku clenches his fist and asks an even more difficult question. "Where... Where's Master Roshi?"
"He's..." Chiaotzu speaks up with hesitation.
"Krillin and Yamcha took him inside," Tien finishes his sentence. "Dende and Piccolo are in there too, poor kid fainted when he heard about Namek-"
The sound of stone shattering nearby cuts him off, gaining their attention as they find Vegeta smashed into the ground, wincing in pain with Whis standing over him. "Hey!" Tien yells as the three of them make way to the downed Prince of Saiyan's. "Whats the big idea?"
"Prince Vegeta here kept on pestering me about allowing him to leave the Lookout so he can continue his fight with Freeza." Whis states matter of factly. "When I said no multiple times, he tried to adopt a more forceful approach."
"Vegeta," Goku whispers as he and Tien help him up. "What were you thinking? You know neither of us stands a chance against Freeza-"
"Get off me!" Vegeta roars, swinging his hand with enough force to break Goku's grip on it and knock him to the ground. "A worthless coward like you is the last person I'll listen to when it comes to picking my battles."
"What are you talking about? Goku's the most fearless guy I've ever known! He'd never-"
"He did not half an hour ago!" Vegeta declares with his finger point accusingly at Earth raised Saiyan to his left. "I saw the look in his eyes when Freeza brushed aside his attack. The same one I gave myself on Namek against the same opponent. But that was back then, and now Freeza has the boys captive! And this bastard was just going to let himself die and let that bastard use them as he did me!"
"Be that as it may Prince Vegeta, resistance or not you both had no chance of defeating Freeza." Whis once again states matter of factly, earning a furious scowl from Vegeta. "Any meager defiance either of you did would only serve as to protect your wounded pride's in the face of absolute defeat."
A vein pops out the side of Vegeta's head with the Saiyan forming fists as he slowly approaches Whis with the tiles on the floor cracking at his feet while Goku stays down, making sure not to make eye contact with any of them. Like a caged animal, he feels trapped on all sides, a cage of accusations. Already he can imagine more of them like Vegeta's coming from Krillin, Dende and Piccolo over the deaths of Roshi and the Namekians. All cursing him for not simply annihilating Freeza utterly on Namek all those years ago when he had the chance, rendering it impossible for the tyrant to ever return and set this horrid plan of his in-motion.
Yet none of them can match just how much he curses himself for not doing precisely that. For not heeding Piccolo's warnings when he suspected of something amiss with the Dragon Ball's. For not doing something, anything to prevent this from happening. Just as it seems like it couldn't get worse, he senses a familiar Ki signature approaching the Lookout and immediately feels sick to his stomach. It is the Ki signature of Mister Buu with Pan, Mister Satan and of course, Videl in toe. The daughter-in-law who he'll have to confess the truth about Gohan's true situation after blatantly lying to her.
Nearby, Whis keeps Vegeta in a headlock, ignoring the Saiyan as he tries to escape his grasp to no avail. His head is raised as he keeps track of Beerus' and Freeza's Ki signatures as they drift farther and farther away from the Earth. They've certainly gone far in a short amount of time, I just hope they don't destroy too many planets by the time this is over...
------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Jupiter
Damn... Freeza... Beerus states mentally, his teeth clenched as he still finds himself being pushed back against Freeza's Golden Death Ball with its creator adding further fuel to the fire, shooting smaller blasts to keep the larger one going. Finally growing tired of this, Beerus pushes back just as he nears the asteroid belt eternally orbiting this Solar Systems largest planet and promptly unleashes an explosion wave of such size it can be seen all throughout the Milky Way.
With his aura flaring up, he appears in front Freeza and rams his fist into the tyrants gut, listening to his pained gasp and vomit of blood with a smirk before unleashing several more thunderous punches of greater force. Taken back, Freeza cannot even properly mount a defense, Beerus' clear anger giving his strikes extra strength and speed.
Driving his knee into Freeza's chest, Beerus grabs him by the head and blasts him at point blank range into the asteroid belt, smashing him into one of the larger asteroids orbiting Jupiter. With a pleased smile on his face, Beerus hovers closer to the pinned Freeza. Is that all you can muster Freeza? He momentarily lets his telepathic block to waiver, allowing him to address the tyrant the only way he can given the lack of oxygen in the vacuum of space.
He receives no response merely a glare prompting Beerus to give Freeza further incentive to fight harder. For despite fearing the potential of his nightmare becoming a reality, he cannot help but feel excited at the prospect of battling another God at his own peak. With a flick of his finger, he telekinetically commands the asteroid upon which Freeza is pinned into smash into all the others with the tyrant smashed in-between them.
His little game quickly goes awry when Freeza bursts from in-between the two asteroids with his aura flaring up and promptly fires off dozens of Ki blasts in Beerus direction, vanishing from the site the instant the last one is fired. An instant later, he appears behind the God of Destruction and rams into him with his elbow striking him in the spine. With all his might, he flies forward, using Beerus as a meat shield resulting in him smashing into Freeza's blasts face first.
With those all spent, Freeza pushes forward regardless, smashing Beerus into a section of the asteroid belt and into the very Eye of Jupiter itself. The red storm swallows them up, surrounding them in orange clouds filled with the sounds of thunder and lightning all around. For any lesser beings, such a place would be maddening yet neither Freeza nor Beerus take notice, too busy struggling as they descend further and further inside.
Freeza's speed lessens inside the storm, Beerus manages to kick Freeza away and fire a rapid succession of Ki blasts with the tyrant respond in kind with their attacks canceling each other out. The two stare each other down, their fists clenching tightly with only the thunderous storm blaring all around them. Then they yell and the gas giant immediately quivers in fear, shaking as their shouts overwhelm the sounds of thunder all throughout the Eye as their powers grow and grow. Vanishing from sight, they both re-appear in the very center of the Eye with their arms pulled back and in the exact same time, their fist smashes right into each other.
The force of their punches clashing unleashes a shockwave of such force it blasts away the entire storm that has made up the Red Spot of Jupiter for millennia now, leaving only an empty section of the planet where only the dim lights of Beerus' and Freeza's auras remain. Soon after, they begin trading blows once more sending each other flying all over the gas giant, blasting away more sections of it as they did the Eye in their wake.
It is not until Freeza sends Beerus flying upwards with a high kick that the two finally leave the storm-ridden gas giant, still trading blows as they once more venture into the depths of space, wherever the battle takes them.
--------------------------
15 minutes later
Like a pair of meteors, the two Gods smash upon the surface of Mercury, the force of their impact equaling that of two nuclear warheads, forming craters rivaling those of the largest already present in the tiny world. Immediately, with the powering up of their auras they blast away the accumulated smoke, both covered in bleeding gashes and cuts all over and promptly renew their fight. Freeza takes the initiative, flying towards Beerus and managing to knock him off his feet with a well placed right hook to his face.
The God of Destruction lands with his right hand, using it to push himself in the air and out of the way of Freeza's second before spinning in the air and kicking the tyrant in the face, causing him plummet to the ground. With a swing of his arm, Beerus causes a series of vertical explosions aimed at Freeza who rolls backward, avoiding his attack as it forms a massive cut across a quarter of the planet.
Landing back to the ground, Beerus takes hold of the spot where he cut the ground and with a swift thrust of his arm, rips a chunk of the planet and throws it into the air with Freeza still standing on it. He fires an energy blast at the chunk as it still spins wildly above him. Freeza waits for it to spin when facing in the direction of the blast and with a thrust of his legs, sends it flying ball, getting rid of it. His small victory is cut short upon Beerus appearing above him and hover fists him in the head towards the gaping hole below though not before Freeza ensnares his tail around the felines leg, dragging them both down.
Tumbling down into the hole, the two remain on top of each other, punching, kicking and digging their way deeper and deeper into the planet, eventually reaching Mercury's molten core. Smashing through the ceiling where it is located, they both fall into the level though it has no effect on either of them. Beerus, the quicker of the two is the first to burst forth from the stream and manages to quickly tackle Freeza back to the ground, taking hold of his head and keeping it submerged in the lava.
With a smirk, he keeps Freeza pinned down with the tyrant squirming to break free to no avail. Then a sharp, sudden, sheathing pain in his left hand followed by one of Freeza's eye beams blast through it. With a pained grunt, he pulls his hand away and glares at the bleeding hole in the middle of it, leaving himself open to Freeza's punch which knocks him away.
The two quickly get back on their feet with Beerus throwing the first punch, one which Freeza ducks behind and promptly uppercuts him in the chest for before spinning around and smacking him back with his tail. With an angry growl, Beerus charges forward and with his claws stretched outward, digs right through Freeza's exoskeleton and leaves three horizontal and deep bleeding cuts at his side.
Backing away a few steps, Freeza winces in pain as his hand checks the cuts, covering it with his own blood. With an equally furious growl to match Beerus,well timed' he leaps into the air and digs his elbow into the side of Beerus' face, leaving a deep, vertical cut running down the left side of it.
As if starting a sick game, Beerus' retaliates by dazing Freeza with a well-timed smack of his own tail extends. He claws out once more and drives one right into Freeza's eye, causing it to break off from his index finger and remain logged in the tyrants socket. Unleashing a scream that would send shivers down the spines of lesser beings, Freeza takes a deep breath before ramming into Beerus, pinning him against the wall with his hand placed tightly around his neck and like a cobra launching itself at its prey, he drives his teeth into the side of the felines left ear and bites off a chunk of it.
And so they keep going, gnawing, clawing and carving into each other. Two of the most powerful beings in this universe who could make entire galaxy vanish with a mere flick of their wrists fighting each other in the lava streams of Mercury like cavemen in the dirt. Yet even in this frantic battle, the faint voices of reason let them both know that Beerus has the advantage. For despite their powers being close, he is ultimately just a bit faster, stronger and durable than Freeza, and in a battle to the death, a tiny advantage can make all the difference.
Knowing he cannot win like this, Freeza glances over the molten core for an instant and smirks as a plan forms in his mind. Kicking Beerus away, he gets back on his feet in time to begin trading blows with the God of Destruction once more. Allowing himself to get hit in the stomach with a strong punch courtesy of the feline, Freeza gasps for air and falls to his knees, coughing up blood.
Finished yet, Freeza? Beerus mentally inquires as he stands next to the downed tyrant, raising an eyebrow upon hearing him chuckle. Still finding something amusing in all of this eh?
Just your imminent defeat.
Raising his head, Freeza fires off a pain of eye beams directly at the core with Beerus' eyes widening in shock as he realizes what Freeza intends to do. He turns around and tries to stop them only to find himself caught in another Full Nelson Hold from Freeza. Let's see how you take an exploding planet at this range, shall we?
The beams accomplish their goal, cutting right through the molten core with utter ease, quickly de-stabilizing it as all of Mercury begins to shake violently. Knowing he has mere moments before it explodes, Beerus manages to break out of Freeza's hold with a joint attack of elbow jabs and smacks with the back of his head, shattering Freeza's now in the process.
Yet the tyrant is not about to let him escape, taking hold of his tail and swinging him into the air before smashing him back into the lava stream. Immediately, they begin trading blows once more, letting the heat of the battle overtake their reason as the planet shakes harder and harder. The lava at their feet grows as the cavern crumbles away, letting more of it seep in from the ceiling and the sides.
None of this deters the two from fighting one as each one attempts to gain the upper hand and make use of the planet's explosion to give themselves a decisive edge. Staring each other down as all of Mercury dies around them, the two run at each other with their auras flaring up and their hands clenched tightly into fists. As they close the distance, both yell at the top of their lungs like savage barbarians and simultaneously one another in the face, unleashing a shockwave of such strength it knocks the two of them to the ground with gargantuan slabs of rock burying them immediately.
The two Gods manage to claw out just-in-time to exchange scowls before the core finally destabilizes and an explosion of unimaginable proportions devours them both and cracks the planet. Mountain sized torrents of lava bursts forth into the surface with continent sized cracks breaking the tectonic plates. Finally, the explosion from the core bursts forth and with it, Mercury is erased from the face of the 7th Universe, seemingly taking the two deities responsible for its demise along with it.

"That bastard!" Roars Vegeta at the top of his lungs as his aura flares up alongside his seething anger. The tiles on the floor of the Lookout snap from the ground begin hovering up into the air as the whole structure begins to shake with his growing power. Tien and Chiaotzu take a step back, even though they cannot sense his energy any longer, the sheer speed and force of the quaking Lookout alone is enough to give them an idea of it.
Wanting to figure out the cause of this disturbance, the other fighters along with Dende and Mister Popo quickly run out to the Lookout's exterior where they see the still furious Vegeta power up. A mighty gust of wind starts to surround the Saiyan Prince, nearly knocking the others off their feet.
"Damn it..." Mutters Piccolo, placing his arms in front to shield himself. "Vegeta! Stop this now before you bring the whole tower down!"
Hearing the Namekian's plea, Vegeta turns his head around to find them all just barely holding on for dear life as the wind continues pushing them back further and further. Closing his eyes, he taking a long and deep breath and quickly lowers his power down, ending his destructive effect on the Lookout.
The others with the exception of the still and silent Goku all manage to relax as well. Taking deep breaths, they approach the still visibly angry Vegeta as he continues looking up into the sky, no doubt following the battle between Beerus and Freeza. "Mind explaining what that tantrum was all about?" Piccolo questions, in no mood for any of the Princes behavior, not after everything that's happened today.
"Its Lord Beerus," Says Goku in a low, distant voice as he still looks up into the sky, not turning to face his friends. "He's beaten Freeza."
Like an uncomfortable question, the statement hangs in the air with none of them initially reacting to it. Instead, they stare at Goku in silence, their lips slowly twisting into smiles along with their brightening up faces. Most of them burst out into cheers, laughing and smiling at the news. Despite the loss of their mentor and old friend Roshi, Yamcha, Krillin, Chiaotzu and Tien all cannot contain their enthusiasm, pleased that Freeza paid for what he's done. Even Piccolo smirks and lets out a chuckle, satisfied that the Namekian's deaths have been avenged.
He quickly notices, however, that Goku and Vegeta aren't pleased with this news, not one bit. He figures Vegeta's simply angry over not being able to finish off Freeza himself, not surprising but then again not completely unjustified reaction given his history with the tyrant. What truly kills his short-lived enthusiasm is Goku's reaction to the news. None smile, no satisfied look on his face, nothing but the same pained expression he's had since arriving here.
Piccolo briefly considers that Goku is also disheartened similar to Vegeta. For he watched Freeza snap Roshi's neck right in front of him, perhaps he wanted to exact revenge personally. But then he remembers how managed to show the tyrant mercy on Namek even after he witnessed Freeza murderer Krillin as well. In a state where he was quite far from rational or composed.
No... something else has gone wrong... Piccolo concludes, his smile and enthusiasm quickly fading only to be replaced by an uneasy feeling of foreboding. "What is it?" He asks Goku plainly, noticing how he immediately tenses upon hearing Piccolo's voice. He lowers his head and hesitantly turns to face the Namekian still not finding the courage to look him in the eye.
"Goku," Piccolo states while taking a few steps forward. "What is it?"
Like a nervous child after doing something he shouldn't have, Goku manages to look him in the eye, his expression still pained and following a nervous gulp he says. "Freeza... He's kidnaped the boys..."
Instantly their cheering dies upon hearing the words escape his lips. With a slow uncertainty, their smiles vanish and they look to Goku who can only meet their gazes for a split second before quickly looking away. "While... While the two of us were gone and you were fighting in the city... Freeza went after the boys, and he's taken them as hostages. Somewhere."
"That's why Videl ran inside the Lookout crying..." Comments Dende quietly, remembering the brief glimpse of her tear-ridden face before she went inside with Mister Satan and Buu.
"And why neither of them came to help us when the city came under attack," Tien mutters, his spirit equally shattered from this news like most of them present with the exceptions of Vegeta and Piccolo who practically fume with quiet, barely contained anger. Furious that even after being rid of him, Freeza still found one last way to torment them for who knows how long until they track down the boys. If they manage to track them down at all. A cynical thought rarely to cross any of their minds, but after today's events, one would be hard-pressed to be anything but cynical.
"Hey wait a minute!" Chiaotzu speaks up, getting everyone's attention. "Couldn't we use the Dragon Balls to find out where they are? Or even teleport them back home?"
A brief glimmer of hope is kindled by his idea until Dende shoots it down. "I'm afraid that won't work. While you were all fighting, I sensed that someone had summoned Shenron, no doubt Freeza using him to destroy... You know what. After he was finished I sensed six of the balls disperse across the planet as they should... but I lost track of the seventh."
"Lost track?" Yamcha repeats, not entirely sure what the young Namekian means.
"Being the re-creator of the Dragon Balls, I'm deeply connected to them which is what lets me know where they are and if they're being used. As I said, the others dispersed as usual but the seventh was stopped dead at the summoning spot."
"Freeza, snatched it out of the air," States Goku. "I pulled it off when I was just a boy, with his speed, it would be a cinch for Freeza to pull off."
"That's probably the case yes. I still sensed the ball as it was going off in the world but then, somewhere near the moon it just vanished. Freeza and his army must've figured out a way to block their energies from me. It's likely even the Dragon Radar can't find it now."
"One Dragon Ball," Piccolo utters with his fists clenched. "He could've taken the whole set or two or three. But he purposefully took just the one to toy with us even from beyond the grave..." His nails drive into the flesh of his hand, causing it to bleed. "And now we can't summon Shenron to bring back the boys or to restore at least some of the Namekian's back to life..."
"We don't even have a single one of Freeza's men left to interrogate for information either," Tien points out. "Even a low-level grunt might've helped steer us in the right direction at the very least."
"Rest assured, Whis and Beerus will get a piece of my mind for that," Vegeta states matter of factly while crossing his arms. "I told that glorified butler to stop Beerus from finishing of Freeza before we could interrogate him. Now we'll have to scour the entire galaxy. And only that much if we're lucky."
"My sincerest apologies Prince Vegeta," The sincere voice of Whis echoes through their minds out of nowhere, catching them all surprise by surprise. "I did honestly try to reason with Beerus about your predicament with the aid of King Kai here, but," He lets out an exasperated sigh. "There's simply no reasoning with him when that temper of his takes over. He couldn't even hear my call until the deed had already been done."
"Don't waste your breath apologizing to them Whis. Freeza was a threat to the balance and he had to be put down, regardless of whatever captives his army may have in their grasp." Dismisses the God of Destruction with a tired yet furious tone to his voice, earning the ire of all present on the Lookout.
"We needed him alive just long enough at least extract a scrap of information, anything to help us find the boys!" Yells Vegeta with his aura flaring up once more. "You had no right damn you!"
"I had no right?" Beerus repeats with an amused tone. "I am Beerus! The God of Destruction! I have the divine right to do whatever I wish in this universe by whatever means I deem fit of accomplishing it!" He repeats with a cold, threatening voice that sends shivers down the spines of all listening bar Whis who's gotten more than used to it.
"I could've just as easily deemed you and your planet unworthy of my timely intervention and simply left you to your self-constructed dooms. But I didn't, I put my own life along with the balance of the universe at risk to save one measly planet. And you've got the gall to spit in the face of my generosity?!"
His yell makes all on the Lookout take a step back as if he were actually standing there yelling at them in person. "You, the pack of incompetent fools who's carelessness made all of this possible! You stand there and blame me for failing your children?! No Vegeta, you all failed them through your poor actions and willing in action to properly safeguard the Earth, unleashing a potentially catastrophic threat, not just in this universe, but the entire multiverse itself! If you left but a single Dragon Ball in the care of even your weakest fighters, none of this would've come to pass and this pitiful state you find yourselves in would've been averted."
A deafening silence follows his long yet scathingly accurate outburst. A quiet yet honest acknowledgment of his points and all their mistakes that've allowed this to happen. Not for the first time today, some of them begin questioning why exactly they would be so careless with something as potentially dangerous as the Dragon Balls, especially given the threats that have come to Earth these past decades.
Has arrogance driven their decisions, born from their continually mounting successes? Could it just be genuine carelessness? Or perhaps a knowing combination of the two, one spurned by the desire for them to knowingly allow stronger and stronger opponents to come and attack the planet? Opponents with which to continue testing their limits. The last thought particularly hangs over Goku and Vegeta, the one who would desire such a scenario the most consequences be damned, even if they mean nothing ill by it.
"Mourn the fallen warriors of Earth," Beerus breaks the silence with, the tone of his voice somewhat softening up from before. "Heal your wounds, rest up and do whatever you must to fix the fallout from this disaster. But know this, if anything like this should come to pass again and your foolishness is to blame for it once more, you'd best let yourselves get killed lest I get my claws on you."
With that warning delivered, Beerus and Whis break their psychic communication with the other and begin the journey back towards their Temple in the far reaches of the cosmos, leaving the Earth's warriors once more in an awkward silence. One quickly broken by an equally awkward throat clear courtesy of the still present King Kai.
"I'll keep a lookout for the boys energies," The deity promises in an attempt to make the situation less hopeless. "If I pick on anything I'll let you know immediately."
"Yeah... Thanks, King Kai..." Is all Goku or anyone else tells him before he too ends his communication with all of them. With a tired sigh, he rubs the back of his head and walks closer to the edge of the Lookout as the sun finally sets off in the distance.
"I need to tell Chi-Chi what's happened," He turns to the others. "We'll meet up first thing tomorrow morning and figure out where to go from here, alright? I think we've had a long enough day as is."
With a defeated sigh, Vegeta nods in agreement. No more eager to break the news to Bulma than Goku is to Chi-Chi. Especially after seeing how Videl reacted. Krillin hesitantly looks back to the doorway of the structure, not entirely sure whether or not to simply leave Roshi's body there until Yamcha puts his hand on his shoulder, getting the monks attention.
"We'll look after him," He gives him a reassuring smile along with Tien and Chiaotzu. "Get back to your family man, Marron's gonna need a shoulder to cry one when she hears about it."
Nodding in agreement, he and the two Saiyan's depart from the Lookout, their white streaks of energy splitting apart the night sky as they fly towards their homes. Yet, when in the past they did this after a battle of these stakes, they returned happy and victorious. Not today, however, not today.
-------------------------------------
A day later, Beerus' Temple
"Do you need some assistance Lord Beerus?" Inquires Whis as he stands next to the steamy a large pool of hot, steaming water located in the temples bathing chamber. In front of him walks a sighing, visibly tired and injured Beerus though walks is a strong word for it. Like a shambling zombie, he forces himself forward with one foot, dragging the other limp leg along, driving his nails into a wall close by to keep himself from falling down.
A large towel covers his lower body, hiding the bandage covering the large hole where Freeza blasted him through the now practically useless leg. His upper body too is covered in blood smeared bandages including his ear where the now dead tyrant bit a chunk of it off. He draws quiet, raspy breaths and stares at the warm, welcoming water with half-lidded, tired eyes.
"Lord Beerus? Do you require-"
"I don't need anything!" He snaps at his attendant, flailing his left arm at such speed it forms a gust of wind which dissipates the accumulated smoke in the hallway. Sensing his masters still foul mood, Whis remains quiet, simply observing his master and former pupil as he clumsily tries to enter the pool with pained winces escaping his lips. His tired body aches from his injuries, making him feel more old and tired than he has in many, many millions of years.
After taking so long to long to simply sit down and dip his toes into the pool, Beerus takes a deep breath and hurls himself face first into the water. Moments later he bursts forth from the water, splashing Whis with the water much to the attendants annoyance as the feline God checks some of his wounds
"I still don't get why you bothered putting these bandages on me, the waters already healing my wounds just fine."
Whis finishes removing the splashes of water covering his face with a handkerchief. "I couldn't let your blood dirty my nice clean floor, not with the amount of time I spend keeping this place tidy."
"Hmm," Beerus grumbles as he tries to enjoy the warm water revitalizing his tired body along with the refreshing scent of herbs placed all throughout the room by Whis before he arrived. Yet despite the smile present on his face, the troublesome nagging feeling he's had ever since waking up continues to plague him, like a bone stuck between his teeth, perpetually irritating him.
"If that's all Lord Beerus, I shall take my leave to prepare your room for slumber. By the looks of things you sorely need it."
"More than you can imagine."
"Then humbly request that you try to stay awake in the pool, you know how... destructive you can get in your sleep."
"Fine."
Whis' eyes narrow at his former pupil. "Lord Beerus..." He repeats with a sterner tone.
The feline lets out an annoyed sigh and lowers his head at his attendant. "I promise I will try not to fall asleep in the pool and accidentally blow it up again."
With a sigh, Whis accepts this promise and promptly takes his leave of the baths towards the slumbering chamber, leaving Beerus to his own devices for a little while. He swims towards a wall at the edge of the pool and leans his back against it. The sweet scent in the room coupled with the soothing, hot water quickly makes his eyes slowly close themselves as he relaxes from it all, carrying him away to the land of dreams.
--------------------------------
The metallic taste of blood fills Beerus' mouth as he lays burrowed in the dirt ridden ground, small drops of trickling out of his lips as he struggles to keep his head up, the pain in it keeping him in a perpetual state of blacking in and out of consciousness. He tries to lift his hands with his paws crashing back down limply after only remaining up for a second. An agonizing pain covers him from head to toe, his muscles weak, his bones broken both within and outside his body.
His sight fails him, the semi-black outs leaving it muddled and confusing. Yet even in this jumbled mess, a lone figure stands prominently, a shadowy warrior walking slowly towards him with a black aura resembling fire twisting and turning all around him. Besides that, he can recognize no other discernible features. No peculiar hair or body shape or tail. Just a simple muscular humanoid approaching him with each stop making the ground shake.
A terrible sense of dread fills the wounded warriors heart upon spotting this figure. Despite his memory seemingly blank, he simply knows this shadowy being is to blame for his injuries. He grits his teeth, trying to force his body up to keep fighting, yet as before, it fails him, simply too damaged to be of any use. This does little to deter the wounded warrior, for he finds another way of attacking in the form of an eye beam.
The shadowy being merely swats it away with a casual flick of his wrist and keeps marching on. The wounded fighter tries again, yet now his ki reserves are depleted as he can produce not even the faintest of blasts. With an annoyed grunt, he lowers his head back down, his jaw firmly clenched as the sound of footsteps grows closer and louder with each passing moment. Then it stops.
Looking up, he spots the shadow looms over him, the entire world around them consumed by his growing flame, all but the wounded one. With the last bit of strength he has left, he tells his adversary. "Do it... Take your... Bloody vengeance..."
"Everyone gets what's coming to them," The shadow states with venom and anger in his distorted voice, raising his hand and placing it merely a foot away from the wounded ones as a large ball of black ki-forms in it. As the attack grows, its light illuminates all around it, revealing a golden flame burning all around the defeated Beerus. It is not until the figures true form is revealed, a familiar figure clad in gray PTO armor with spiky golden hair and stern, green eyes staring down at him. The eyes of the vengeful Prince Vegeta.
"Even you, Beerus," Is all the Super Saiyan tells him before unleashing his Big Bang Attack, engulfing the downed Beerus entirely with his horrid screams of pain echoing throughout the cosmos for all the universe to hear. For what seems like an eternity, he burns and burns and burns, yet no release comes to him. Nothing but the piercing eyes of Vegeta and the constantly, blue wave Ki destroying him for all time. It is not until a sharp, quick jab in the back of his neck suddenly sends a surge down his neck and allows the release of death to finally swallow him whole.
---------------------------------
Beerus' Temple
A horrid cough escapes the felines lips with his eyes shooting up as he desperately tries to get all the water out of his throat. His heart races in his chest, ringing in his ears as he takes a deep breath after a deep breath. He looks down to find his own hands violently shaking beyond his control in and out of the water with a nauseating feeling eating away at his gut.
"Lord Beerus?"
With a quick snap of his head to the left, he finds Whis kneeling next to him with a concerned look on his face, instantly putting Beerus at ease. "I should've known you'd fall asleep anyway."
"F-fall asleep?"
"Yes, and by the looks of things you had quite a nasty nightmare. Had I not sensed your Ki rise from the stress of it, your explosion wave would've surely caused a great deal of damage to the temple."
The truth will be revealed you know, and when it, he will kill you for it.
Freeza's words echo throughout the confines of his mind, confirming what he already knew yet was too afraid to admit. It's no dream or nightmare... but a premonition...
"Lord Beerus?" Whis call out to him once more, growing more and more concerned by his blank stare at his own reflection in the water.
"Is my bed ready?" He asks with a distant tone to his voice.
"Good," He sharply gets back on his feet, placing both his arms behind his back as he levitates out of the pool. "Fetch me my sleeping clothes, I require much rest to restore my strength and not much time to do it."
Not even bothering to hear Whis' answer, Beerus rushes into the vast system of hallways throughout his home, practically running towards his bedchamber in a hurry. As he traverses through the monotonous, stone tunnels, his thoughts return to the final minutes of his battle with Freeza, to the source of his troubles in the near future.
---------------------------
A day earlier, Mercury
Like a grenade mere moments, while detonating, the surface of Mercury splits asunder as its destabilized core unleashes oceans of lava bursting towards the surface, carving the entire planet to pieces from the inside out. Pillars of flame pierce into the sky as the planets shaking grows stronger and stronger until the accumulated energy unleashes itself outward in a brilliant fiery ball of destructive force, leaving only a gargantuan ball of fire where Mercury once was.
An event such as this would've wiped out most beings in the universe unlucky enough to be caught on the doomed planet, even some of the stronger ones. Not the architects of this planet's destruction, however, it only momentarily stuns the two Gods before they clash once more in the heart of the explosion. Not missing a beat, the two continue clawing and beating on another, completely ignoring the inferno all around them that would make anyone else scream in terror from their burning flesh.
Yet the two Gods are above such concerns, for only they can hurt one another at this moment. Soon, the explosion dissipates from the lack of oxygen in space, replaced by the same stillness of space with the scant rocky remains of Mercury and the blood drawn from two battling deities floating in the void.
Finally, their stalemate is ground to a halt as they both once again punch each other across the face at the exact same time, sending each other flying backward several meters before each landing on a large slab of floating rock. Kneeling down on for a moment to catch their breaths, they stare each other down as blood continues to trickle down from their numerous wounds. An instant later, they vanish out of sight, the speed of their movement so great it breaks the rubble beneath their feet.
Freeza proves to the quicker of the two, managing catch an incoming punch courtesy of Beerus, allowing him to twist it until he can feel bone starting to crack beneath his touch. Smirking upon seeing the feline growl in pain, he raises his free arm, extending its middle and index fingers outward and with a series of rapid, point blank arm swings, unleashed dozens upon dozens of close range Death Waves.
Yet his advantage is quickly cut short when Beerus forces himself through the Ki Slashes and head-butts Freeza directly in his mangled eye, forcing his broken off nail to dig further into it. Were there any oxygen for sound to exist, Freeza yelp of pain would've been heard for miles. The God of Destruction breaks free of the tyrant's grasp and unleashes a barrage of pressure point strikes all over his body.
With his power now lessened following the lengthy battle for Beerus, Freeza's golden exoskeleton starts breaking away from the quick, powerful and precise strikes smashing against it. Entire chunks of it are swiftly broken off with the feline rounding off his attacks by unleashing a pair of point blank Ki Waves one striking Freeza in the face while the other blasting him in the chest.
As he's sent flying backward through the vacuum, Freeza lands on another floating slab, nearly crushing it beneath his feet with the force of his impact. With a pulling motion of his hand directed at Beerus, he uses a reverse kiai to propel the God of Destruction towards him while firing off a series of Death Beams at him with his other hand.
Beerus manages to break himself free of the pull though not before suffering two injuries from the two of the Death Beams slicing the side of his left knee and blowing a tiny chunk of his left forearm off. Grunting in pain, Beerus too thrusts his index finger forward and fires off a trio of his own finger beams much to Freeza's shock. The tyrant succeeds in avoiding the first one though the second takes off half of his toe while the last a piece of his right abdomen.
The two once more find themselves on floating slabs with Freeza finding some difficulty remaining on his with one of his toes now missing. The two slowly get back on their feet from their previous kneeling positions with their backs turned to one another. Dim lights of Ki emit from their index finger as they continue focusing Ki into them. Both deities know this is the deciding moment, for their bodies have been pushed to the limit and now, the God with the quicker and truer aim shall claim victory.
Spinning in place, the two's eyes meet, fixed in mutual glares of disdain as their fingers shoot up towards their respective targets. For a nanosecond, they light up with the firing off the beams and as quickly as it began, its over. What little sense of time they felt before vanishes entirely with everything, even their bodies remaining frozen for what seems like an eternity as even their bodies have failed to properly catch up on what just happened to them.
A violent, blood-filled cough escapes Freeza's mouth, breaking this frozen state with the overlord falling to his knees as his hand immediately goes over a baseball sized hole near his heart in an attempt to halt the profuse bleeding. An injury caused by Beerus' Wrath Beam piercing through the cracked plates on his chests exoskeleton. Beerus, by comparison merely takes a couple of steps back, his hand also covering up the hole piercing through his right shoulder.
Yet he cannot help but smirk despite the pain and faint drops of blood seeping out of his mouth, for he knows it's over. Immediately, he powers back up and charges towards Freeza with the smile never leaving his face and before the tyrant can even get his arms back up, Beerus spin kicks him right in the face. With utter ease, he swats away a sluggish retaliatory punch from Freeza and knees him right in the abdomen with the tyrant coughing up more blood as a result.
With his power quickly plummeting from the debilitating injury, Freeza can do little but muster a meager explosion wave to push Beerus back somewhat, one which quickly makes the pain in his chest even worse. Once more, the God of Destruction comes at him with Freeza attempting to stop him with a high kick. To his shock, however, Beerus catches it and promptly drives his elbow into Freeza's leg, rendering it useless.
Moving in to secure his victory, Beerus takes hold of Freeza's neck with one hand whilst the other grabs him by the side of the face. Immediately the tyrant knows his intent and with the last bit of strength he can muster, uses their closed distance to fires off a succession of quick Emperor's Death Beams. The mere sight of Beerus growling in pain as his stomach is blasted at point blank range puts a smirk back on Freeza's face yet even this last effort isn't enough to delay the inevitable, for Beerus merely forces himself through the pain and with a mix of incredible speed and strength, twists his hands to the sides.
CRACK!
Even with the lack of sound in space and the quick release of his hold, Beerus can hear the snapping of Freeza's neck echo through his ears as the now paralyzed tyrant floats helplessly through the vacuum, his body now rendered entirely useless finds itself pinned back first against one of the remaining slabs of Mercury. A pained expression is smeared across Freeza's face as he tries to make his body move to no avail with the accumulated damage causing his new golden form to fade away entirely.
You put up a good fight Freeza, better than most I've faced. But in the end, your mistake was not remaining in whatever hole you crawled into after your revival. Beerus states telepathically to his finished adversary, no longer seeing the point in mentally protect himself. A great sense of satisfaction overwhelms him, almost completely numbing the pain and aching of his tired body.
Yet the smile on Freeza's face and what can only be described as an inaudible cackle of laughter quickly puts a damper on this. With his eyes narrowing and his smirk vanishing, the God of Destruction instantly feels his infamous temper rise.
Still think you can win do you?
Oh certainly not, this body is quite too damaged to be of any use to me anymore. The tyrant states matter of factly with an utter lack of any desperation, anger or even fear in his voice, instead replaced by... satisfaction. But it doesn't matter, I've accomplished a great deal of what I set out to do here, and if all goes according to plan, I shall have my revenge on you or the Saiyan's or, He mentally chuckles. All three of you.
This time, it is Beerus who chuckles. You won't be enjoying or feeling anything for much longer. For you see Freeza, He begins as a faint, purple aura surrounds him. As the God of Destruction, I have a very rare privilege many would die to have. A privilege granting me to the ability to, for a hefty price from my own energy reserves, erase someone in both body and soul with a special blast reserved only for my kind, the Gods of Destruction.
A sun-like aura ball surrounds the feline God, growing greater and greater with each passing moment until halting at a size roughly the equivalent of the Earth itself. Soon after, the massive energy losses its form, collapsing into a gargantuan vortex of fire aura-like flames which are focused into Beerus' outstretched hand. Their colors and shape morphs from red to blue until finally, upon stabilizing as a tiny orb of Ki the size of a seed, it burns a bright, white.
Any last words? Beerus inquiries with a mocking smirk though Freeza's mental laugh quickly erases it.
The truth will be revealed you know, and when it, he will kill you for it.
Beerus merely raises an eyebrow at this, earning an amused chuckle from Freeza. How quickly an immortal forgets though I suppose it shouldn't be a surprising trait if you're half as old as my father claimed you are. Still, given your apparent interest in the likes of Goku and Vegeta, I would think you'd remember the hand you played in the destruction of their species.
As if stabbed in the back by his most trusted friend, Beerus' expression morphs to one of utter shock only a startling revelation could cause, much to Freeza's glee. Ah, now you remember. Which do you think will Vegeta prefer I wonder? How you sentenced them to death over a petty slight concerning a pillow of all things. Or perhaps how you 'suggested' I greatly hasten my own plans to exterminate them because you couldn't be bothered? Who knows, if you weren't such a petulant child of a God, the Saiyan's might have lived long enough to stand a chance of preventing the swift culling of their species. I'd do anything just to see the look on his face though I suppose yours at the moment will suffice.
The God of Destruction's free hand curls into a tight fist. He won't find out-
Oh, but he will Beerus! Rest assured that he will. For if I cannot see my revenge through to the end alive, then I will exact it from beyond the grave. I've already made the necessary arrangements, now all that's left is to wait for the opportune moment to let him in on our little discussion that fateful day decades ago. The tyrant lets out a violent, blood-filled cough though his smile persists. Unfortunately for you, this day of revelation may not come soon enough. For I know all too well what it's like to live in perpetual fear of something capable of killing me. The sleepless nights, the tormented days. Hours upon hours of horrible visions of your own demise plaguing you constantly, driving you slowly into madness as a horrid, spiteful and sadistic little voice in your head repeats the same thing over and over: Super Saiyan.
Despite a burning fury building inside of him, one demanding the death of the tyrant before him with every uttered word, he cannot help but let Freeza's words sink in. Like a weed, the fear born of the truth of his obvious psychological warfare takes root into hid mind and heart. One that will plague him for all the sleepless nights and tormented days to come. Though he does not yet know or want to admit it, yet.
The worst part is... Freeza coughs once more. You're the one who insisted on uncovering the power of the Super Saiyan God, giving your own soon-to-be murderer the perfect means of exacting his bloody vengeance. If I was at all capable of it, I might even feel a shred a sympathy for you-
ENOUGH! Beerus mentally roars, his temper finally overcoming his previous trance-like state. I AM BEERUS! THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION WHO'S VERY MENTION HAS SENT FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD THROUGHOUT THE EONS! WITH CLEANSING POWER OF FIRE, I'VE ENDED THE LIVES OF TRILLIONS ACROSS THE COSMOS! ON A WHIM I'VE MURDERED THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF ENTIRE CIVILIZATIONS WITHOUT MERCY OR REGRET!
He pours, even more, energy into the tiny, white flame burning mere inches away from his index finger. AND I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THE MIND GAMES OF ONE SUCH AS YOU!
Is that so? Freeza questions, amused by Beerus' outburst despite what is about to happen next. Then why are you so flustered?
Falling silent for a moment, Beerus' left eye twitches several times as he somehow manages to get even angrier. DDDIIIEEE! He roars, unleashing the fiery white Ki condensed in the ball in the form of a pillar of flames descending towards the paralyzed Freeza. He expects to hear the tyrant panic or beg for mercy or do anything than what he actually is: smiling. Even faced with one of the most devastating blasts in existence with his body destroyed and defeat certain, he smiles still as if he's the one winning.
In mere moments, the attack reaches its target swallowing Freeza entirely, burning away his body and soul as if he were nothing but a mere leaf in the way of a forest fire. With a gleeful smirk, a wondrous sense of relief washes over him, he watches the flames continue to race out into the cosmos, growing thinner and thinner with each passing moment until finally dying down just ahead of the nearby sun.
Despite his numerous injuries, depleted energy reserved and aching bones, Beerus feels fully content having ridden himself of Freeza permanently and averting the nightmare responsible for waking him. With Freeza silenced and his anger satiated, finally he manages to hear both Whis and King Kai in his mind, hearing their pleas to not destroy Freeza, not yet realizing it is far too late for that.
--------------------------------
Beerus' Temple
The truth will be revealed you know, and when it, he will kill you for it.
This one sentence, above all the others uttered by Freeza, sticks out the most in Beerus' mind. He thinks himself a fool upon giving things another look, thinking that in all his and Whis' interactions that his reasoning for destroying planet Vegeta wouldn't get revealed to the Saiyan Prince. A mistake only eclipsed by letting Vegeta know of the way to attain Godhood, giving him the tools necessary to pose a threat to him in the first place. Yet even as he contemplates the possible consequences of these mistakes, Beerus refuses to let Freeza's mind games get the better of him.
I will not be undone as you were Freeza... He clenches his fists tightly. When he comes for me, I will meet Vegeta on the field of battle and rectify my poor judgment by destroying him, Goku or any other Saiyan foolish enough to aid him in his bloody vengeance.
He begins walking once more towards the slumbering chamber. I am Beerus, the God of Destruction, and I will not succumb to the wrath of a Super Saiyan.
--------------------------
Meanwhile, Hell
As they have always done until now and shall do until the end of time, the cute and cuddly inhabitants of hell from teddy bears to the childlike angels play, sing, and parade through the sunny, green fields of Hell. Filling the air with joyous songs, cheers and sounds of laughter. Just as he had for the 12 years of his previous stay in hell and likely much more to come hags Freeza, suspended above the ground inside a cocoon. Sent here once more as a result of using what little Ki he had to telekinetically snap his own neck just ahead of Beerus' blast.
"Ggggooooodddddd morning Freeza!" Greets the same childlike angel who was the last to see the tyrant prior to his resurrection. "It's wonderful to have you back here again!"
"It's wonderful to be back child!" He responds with a friendly smile and tone much to the angels surprise.
"Oh my, you seem to be in a lot better mood than you usually were! Does this mean you're ready to repent for your sins?"
"Not in the slightest," He answers matter of factly with the smile never leaving his face. "But you'll simply start singing anyway regardless of my answer."
The angel ponders his words for a moment before exclaiming. "You're right! This is Hell after all!" And with that, it flies away to gather the others for an even louder joint parade to welcome Freeza back. Though this time, the tyrant cares little for their songs. For each time they sing, he hears the pained screams of Goku as he stomps on the bleeding hole on his shoulder. Each time one of the angels flies by to flash a smile at him, he sees the two Super Saiyan Gods look on in a mix of horror and awe at his power.
Soon his imagination becomes wilder, filled with scenarios upon scenarios where Goku and Vegeta are forced to kill their own, PTO loyal children. Then it shifts over to the war-torn landscape of Earth with the dead Goku, Vegeta and Beerus lying in a smoldering crater, having murdered one another in the midst of a fierce battle. Each one making Freeza feel almost as a worm and fuzzy on the inside as the numerous stuffed animals parading around him.
Though his victory is not as absolute as he would've liked, he feels a sense of fulfillment at what he's managed to accomplish with the second chance given to him and how the machinations he's left behind will ensure his eventual victory. For the first time in the history of Hell, one of its prisoners is truly, indescribably happy.
How the Black Arc Should End (by Lightbing!):
Using his powers the Omni-King restores everything to the moment before Goku and Vegeta perish, humanity's last barrier. Zamasu concedes. He ask for forgiveness(mainly to Goku, Gowasu and Trunks) and understands that his justice isn't justice at all. He asks for judgement and the Omni-King delivers.
Trunks is forced never to travel in time ever again, all the time-machines are destroyed.

I really want to give you an award of some sort for this wonderful remake of Resurrection F... but I think a digital thumps up is good enough.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.
