Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F”

A field of flowers surrounded by forest. Faeries and angels are flapping around. There are cute little animals too. The stuffed animals have begun an adorable dance.

A back shot of a strange figure observing this scene. His body is wrapped up in threads like a bagworm and hung from a tree. He seems to be trembling.

Close up on a pair of eyes contorted in agony. (It turns out to be cyborg Freeza in Hell)

The Freeza Army’s gigantic HQ ship hovers in space. We just hear the voices of Sorbet and his underlings.

Staff Officer: “Lord Sorbet.”
Sorbet: “What?”
Staff Officer: “The native insurrection on Planet 448 is getting worse. We can’t hold out any longer.”
Sorbet: “Send in more troops.”
Staff Officer: “We can only spare a few. The rest are all off fighting on other planets.”
Sorbet: “What?!...Damn it, then pull out. Pull out!”

Inside the ship, the entire command room is visible. Sorbet is small yet cunning, the head of the Freeza Army now that Freeza’s gone. Several staff officers stand near him.

Sorbet walks slowly, and quietly sits himself down in a large chair. He grits his teeth as he stares off into space and fiddles with his scouter. He seems to be using it to send a message.

Sorbet: “Sorbet here. Well, have you found the planet with the surviving Namekians?..”

An underling’s voice is heard over the scouter

Underling: “It’s no use Lord Sorbet. Despite all our spy cameras, we still haven’t managed to discover anything.”
Sorbet: “Cheh…So we’ve got no choice but to head for Earth. Alright then, call off the search for the Namekians!”

Sorbet switches off his scouter and stands up.

Staff Officer: “But isn’t Earth dangerous? That woman who can track down the dragon balls is friends with the Super Saiyan.”
Sorbet: “If we can’t find the Namekians, going to Earth is our last option. Besides, according to the data our spy cameras have obtained, it seems that woman isn’t the only one who can find the dragon balls…Hey, Tagoma! The two of us are going to Earth!”

“Tagoma” is Sorbet’s bodyguard, and you can tell he’s no ordinary Joe.

Tagoma: “Roger. But are we really going alone?”
Sorbet: “Apparently the Saiyans on Earth can spot large battle powers even without using a scouter, so if too many of us go we may be detected.”
Tagoma: “Understood.”
Staff Officer: “Are you going yourself, Lord Sorbet?”
Sorbet: “Naturally…Lord Freeza shall be resurrected!” (Close up on face)

Earth. A small Freeza Army spaceship hovers over the ocean.

Inside the spaceship are six dragon balls. Pilaf looks at his dragon radar nervously. Inside we see Shuu and Mai, plus Sorbet and Tagoma.

Sorbet: “Well, is the last one here?”
Pilaf: “Y-Yes, it’s definitely right below us. Of all the rotten luck! The ocean here’s really deep…”
Sorbet: “Tagoma, dive down and get it.”
Tagoma: “Roger.”

The five of them head outside (on top of the space ship).
Tagoma dives into the sea. Sorbet watches intently. Behind him, Pilaf wordlessly signals to Shuu and Mai. (“Kill him!”) he gestures. Shuu and Mai gesture: (“U-Us?!”), Pilaf: (“That’s right, quick!”). Shuu nervously draws his sword, while Mai draws her gun.

Without even turning around, Sorbet fires a beam from his ring which instantly destroys the sword and gun. What looked like a large ring is actually a ray gun. The trio are paralyzed with fear.

Sorbet: “You’d better not underestimate me just because I’m small.”
Trio: “Hyiih!! F-Forgive us!”

Tagoma soon returns with the dragon ball in hand. Sorbet snickers.

The garden of Gohan’s house. (Mister Satan had this house built for them, so it’s really fancy.)

Piccolo is watching over Gohan’s roughly 1 year-old daughter Pan, who’s in a cradle. And by “babysit”, he’s really just sitting on a bench with his arms folded, rocking her cradle with one leg. He’s apparently got something on his mind. At this point Gohan and Videl return home. It looks like they’ve been out shopping.

Gohan: “Sorry we’re late! …Huh? What’s the matter?”
Piccolo: “Haven’t you noticed? I sense a nasty power over in that direction.”
Gohan: “Huh? Oh…Now that you mention it…What could it be?”
Piccolo: “I wonder…”

The spot where the Trunks from the future defeated Freeza. All seven dragon balls are assembled. Facing Sorbet, Pilaf, and co.

Sorbet: “Begin.”
Pilaf: “Y-You won’t kill us once we’ve served our purpose, right?...”
Sorbet: “Don’t worry. We might have further use for you, after all. What, don’t you trust me?”
Pilaf: “D-Don’t be silly!”
Mai: “I-I’ve got a boyfriend named ‘Trunks’!”
Sorbet: “….Just get started!”

Pilaf faces the dragon balls.

Pilaf: “C-Come forth, Shenlong, and grant my wish!”

It grows dark, and Shenlong appears.

Gohan: “It’s gone dark! …No, it can’t be…”
Piccolo: “Shenlong, huh? But where?”

Pilaf politely prompts Sorbet to speak.

Sorbet: “…Um…”
Tagoma: “Lord Sorbet, quickly!”
Sorbet: “A-Alright, here goes…B-Bring Lord Freeza back to life!!”

But Shenlong is silent, as if hesitating.

Sorbet: “W-What the matter?! You can grant any wish, can’t you?!”
Shenlong: “It is of course possible, but that person’s body was cut to pieces long ago, and cannot be regenerated. There would be no point in his spirit returning with his body in such a condition.”

(Scene where Trunks slices Freeza to bits and finishes him off with a blast of light.)

Sorbet: “R-Really? That’s not good…”
Tagoma: “Lord Sorbet, even if his body is in pieces, we might be able to revive him with our army’s latest regeneration machine.”
Sorbet: “Of course! Knowing Lord Freeza, it’ll definitely work…Alright then…Hey! It doesn’t matter that his body’s in pieces, just resurrect him at once!”
Shenlong: “…Awfully high-and-mighty, aren’t you?”
Sorbet: “...P-Please resurrect Lord Freeza…if you don’t mind…”
Shenlong: “Alright, I understand...”

Pieces of flesh and metal tumble from the sky. They try to form up into Freeza’s (cyborg) body, but crumble and fall to pieces again. The creepy, crawling pieces of flesh make Pilaf and co. scream.

Shenlong: “You may speak your next wish.”
Sorbet: “Next wish? You grant two?”
Shenlong: “That’s right, when the current God of Earth replaced the old, I underwent a few changes myself.”
Sorbet: “Two, huh?...I suppose it’d be best to resurrect Papa Freeza as well…”

Suddenly, Shuu yells out.

Shuu: “G-Give me a million zenny!”

Everyone is dumbstruck. Bills flutter down. Shuu snatches them up.

Shenlong: “Your wish is granted. Farewell.”

The dragon balls scatter. It gets light out again.

Sorbet: “That brat…”
Tagoma: “We’d better hurry. We don’t know when the Saiyans might come.”
The two put the crawling pieces of flesh into a bag.

Sorbet: “Lord Freeza’s life force is every bit as great as you’d expect! Together with our latest technology, he’ll definitely be regenerated!”

Tagoma takes the bag of flesh they gathered into the spaceship. Sorbet turns to Pilaf and co.

Sorbet: “You’ve done splendidly. We’ll be back before too long…this time with Lord Freeza and our soldiers…”

Inside the spaceship.

Sorbet: “Well, let’s return to base.”
Tagoma: “…I’m a little worried.”
Sorbet: “About what?”
Tagoma: “Freeza’s resurrection. He was a terrible dictator, wasn’t he?”
Sorbet: “Hmph, what choice do we have? People aren’t afraid of our army anymore now that they know Lord Freeza and the rest of the top brass have been wiped out, so insurrections are breaking out on planets all over the place! To top it off, even our internal chain of command is beginning to crumble!”
Tagoma: “I only once briefly caught a glimpse of Lord Freeza, but he was small and didn’t seem all that incredible.”
Sorbet: “Hmph, even I only ever met him occasionally, but his terror came across loud and clear.”
Tagoma: “Still, that was a long time ago…He might not live up to your expectations. In which case we’d just end up with an annoying dictator who’s nothing but talk.”

Sorbet: “Well, if the regeneration works out, we’ll see how powerful he really is.”
Tagoma: “Apparently the Saiyans here have continued to evolve, so he probably wouldn’t be able to beat them.”
Sorbet: “There’s no real need to fight them. This is just some planet off on the outskirts of the galaxy. It’s not worth much.”

The spaceship takes off. Pilaf and co. look on dumbstruck.

Mai: “…Just what the heck is a ‘Freeza’, anyway?”
Pilaf: “How should I know?! But it sure didn’t look like anything special…H-Hey! Let’s build a spaceship and flee to some other planet!”
Shu: “Huh? How could we build a spaceship?...”
Pilaf: “We should be able to manage something with that million zenny you’ve got there. Nice going, Shu!”
Mai: “You should have wished for more! Like, a hundred million at least!
Shu: “…I just figured if we had this much we could treat ourselves to a real feast.”
Pilaf: “In that case, let’s go get something to eat.”
Mai, Shu: “Alright!!”

Gohan: “It’s vanished…What was it?”
Piccolo: “I’ve got a nasty feeling about this…”

Inside the Freeza Army’s large spaceship.
In a liquid-filled capsule, Freeza’s body reforms bit by bit (in his first form, rather than as a cyborg)

His body is fully restored. His eyes open with a snap.

At that moment, the spaceship trembles and begins flashing with light, and the staff officers’ scouters all break. The regeneration machine’s capsule splits open too, and sirens sound. Everyone panics, but eventually things settle down.

Freeza cracks his neck.

Freeza exhales for the first time since his rebirth: “Haa~”

Everyone watches Freeza in stunned silence.

Sorbet: “W-Welcome back, Lord Freeza.”
Freeza: “…Hm? And you are?”
Sorbet: “I am S-Sorbet, formally staff officer of Stellar Region 3.”
Freeza: “Oh yes…I remember you, a little.”
Sorbet: “Currently I lead the army in your place.”
Freeza: “You do? Hohohoho…”

Freeza is looking at his hand: “It seems I really have come back to life.”

Sorbet: “Yes, thanks to the dragon balls and our new regeneration machine.”
Freeza: “Dragon balls? Oh yes, those strange balls the Namekians had, right?”
Sorbet: “We were unable to locate the Namekians, so Tagoma and I went to Earth and used the dragon balls there.”
Tagoma: “I am Tagoma. I assisted in resurrecting you, Lord Freeza.”
Sorbet: “He’s a talented warrior, on par with the late lamented Zarbon or Dodoria.”
Freeza: “Hmph…Terribly impressive, I’m sure. By the way, you certainly took your time reviving me, didn’t you?”
Sorbet: “M-My deepest apologies, but between the dragon balls and the regeneration machine, it all required much intensive preparation.”
Freeza: “Earth’s Hell was absolute torment…”
Sorbet: “Fortunately you’re back now.”
Freeza: “Hmph, I suppose you only got around to resurrecting me once you tried and failed to manage things on your own?”
Sorbet: “N-No! That’s not true at all…It took time, but we created this new regeneration machine that was capable of restoring you exactly to as you were before.”
Freeza: “And Papa?”
Sorbet: “This time around we were only able to resurrect you Lord Freeza, so your father will have to wait until next time.”
Freeza: “Hmph, no need to resurrect Papa. He always was so stuck up.”
Sorbet: “Huh? R-Right, understood.”

While swinging his arm, Freeza kills one of the Freeza Army members in the ship with a small ki blast.

Freeza: “As I suspected, I’m a little rusty. My revenge may take some time.”

Inside the ship everything goes still.

Sorbet: “R-Revenge?”

Freeza: “Of course. I’ll never be satisfied until I’ve exterminated those two Super Saiyans who did this to me.”
Tagoma: “If you’ll excuse me for saying so, perhaps it would be wiser to ignore them…Instead we could go back to…”

With a blast of energy, Freeza sends Tagoma flying out of the ship; the wall of the spaceship cracks, sucking soldiers and objects outside.

Sorbet: “S-Shields! Raise the shields!!”

Thanks to the defensive shields, things somehow return to normal inside the ship. Sorbet and the others are stiff with fear.
Freeza: “It seems the Freeza Army has lost its fighting spirit in my absence. This is supposed to be the greatest army in the universe. How do you plan on carrying out business when you’re afraid of a few measly Saiyans?”
Sorbet: “B-But…That Saiyan named ‘Son Goku’…he’s gone on to become…”
Freeza: “What? He’s become more powerful?”
Sorbet: “…Yes, though it pains me to say so…”
Freeza: “Hohohoh…I assumed as much. But then all I have to do is become even stronger than him.”
Sorbet: “…He’s even defeated Majin Boo…Though we have no further data…”
Freeza: “Majin Boo…Papa told me that the God of Destruction Beerus and Majin Boo were the only people I should never lay a hand on. Is that the Majin Boo you mean?”
Sorbet: “Y-Yes…”
Freeza: “This is more than I expected…But that’s what makes it so interesting, isn’t it?”
Sorbet: “Interesting…?”
Freeza: “I’m a natural prodigy, so I’ve never trained, not even once. I’ve simply never needed to.”
Sorbet: “Yes…”
Freeza: “So I wonder what will happen…if I draw out my full potential through training…”
Sorbet: “Y-You can…become even stronger?...”
Freeza: “Is that so surprising? In my estimation, if I train hard for 4 months then…I should acquire a battle power of 1.30 million…”

The soldiers all tremble at this terrifying number.

Close up on Freeza as he sneers.

<Opening>

Jaco’s spaceship flies towards Earth.
Scene changes to Capsule Corporation, where Jaco’s ship has landed. Jaco is arguing with the receptionist.

Jaco: “I told you, I’m a super elite Galactic Patrolman! Get Bulma down here at once!”
Receptionist: “You can’t meet her without an appointment!”
Jaco: “You idiot, I came all this way just to warn you that the Earth’s in danger.”

A guard approaches with an exasperated look on his face. Dr. Briefs passes by.

Briefs: “Oh! Why if it isn’t Zako!” [zako=”small fry”, the source of Jaco’s name pun]

Jaco: “I’m Jaco, not Zako!”
Briefs: “Long time no see. Well, how about I show you my cute goldfish?”
Jaco: “Goldfish?”

The two of them look into the lake inside the huge garden.

Jaco: “Oh, such big eyes! Just like the natives of Planet Eruka.” [Planet Eruka=pun on kaeru/”frog”]
Briefs: “They’re pop-eyed goldfish. Adorable, aren’t they?”

Jaco is fascinated. Time leisurely flows on by. Suddenly:

Jaco: “I’ve got no time for this! Go call Bulma!”

Bulma’s already arrived at that same spot.

Bulma: “Oh, Jaco! It’s really you! It’s been so long, what brings you around now?”
Jaco: “I heard from your big sister Tights that you’re friends with the man who defeated Freeza. Is that true?”
Bulma: “Huh? Well, there’s two people who defeated Freeza. One is my son Trunks, and the other is my friend Son-kun.”
Jaco: “Your son?”
Bulma: “Well, I say ‘my son’, but he came here from the future in a time machine. Right now he’s still just a kid.”
Jaco: “From the future?...I can’t believe you’re so upfront about it. Time control is a serious crime under galactic law.”
Bulma: “Why should I care?”
Jaco: “Well, whatever. Just introduce me to that other friend of yours right away. I’ve got something to tell him.”
Bulma: “That’s going to be tricky. Right now he’s gone off with my husband over to Lord Beerus’ place.”
Jaco: “Beerus?”
Bulma: “You’re in the Galactic Patrol, surely you’ve heard of him? Beerus, God of Destruction.”
Jaco: “Beerus, God of Destruction? Hahhahhah, that’s impossible. Beerus is just a myth.”
Bulma: “If you say so.”
Jaco: “This is no time to be shooting the breeze! Freeza’s returned from the dead, and he’s heading to Earth with 1,000 soldiers!”
Bulma: “Huh!? Freeza!? Haha…It can’t be…He can’t possibly be back…Can he?”
Jaco: “He is.”
Bulma: “…With 1,000 soldiers!?”
Jaco: “Yes. Frankly, I’m making a run for it. I’m still too young to die.”
Bulma: “This is huge news! You should have said something sooner!! Hang on a moment!!”

Bulma goes off somewhere, then comes back carrying something. It’s a giant glass container filled with ice cream and huge strawberries, plus whip cream and strawberry sauce. Going out into the garden, she holds it over her head and shouts.

Bulma: “Whi—is!! Here’s a strawberry sundae!! Contact me quick if you want to eat it!! It’s melting fast!!”

Jaco: “…What the heck are you doing at a time like this?”
Bulma: “Hopefully we’ll hear from him soon…Hey Jaco, when will Freeza and his men get here?!”
Jaco: “Hm~mm, probably in about an hour.”
Bulma: “You moron!! There’s no time left! We’ve got to hurry and tell everyone!!”

Jaco: “…Moron…”

A suburb town. Bank alarms ring, while bank robbers speed away in an air car. A small police officer riding an air scooter is chasing after them. He jumps up and smashes the air car with a kick, then smacks the criminals when they come out.

Police Officer: “Hey, you shouldn’t rob banks!”

It turns out that the officer is Kuririn. His cell phone rings. (The ringtone is a tune from One Piece)

Kuririn: “Huh? Oh, Bulma. Yeah, this is Kuririn. Look Bulma, I’m on duty right now, so…Huh?...Freeza?! It-It can’t be…Alright…Yes…I understand! I’ll get ready right away! I’ll tell Muten Roshi too! …Goodbye!”

Kuririn changes into his dougi at home.

No.18: “I’ll go too. I’m a lot more powerful than you guys, after all.”
Kuririn: “I’d rather you stay here and look after Marron. Anyway, I’ve got a favor to ask you…”

No.18 shaves Kuririn’s head with an electric clipper.

No.18: “So Son Goku and Vegeta are both off at Beerus’ place?”
Kuririn: “Yeah, we’re still waiting to hear back from them. Hopefully they’ll come quick…But at least we’ve got Majin Boo and Gohan.”

With his head now clean-shaven for the first time in ages, Kuririn is all fired up.

Kuririn: “Alright!! I’m off!”
No.18: *quietly* “He looks so cool…”

The Freeza Army’s giant spaceship.

Sorbet: “We’ll be arriving on Earth shortly, Lord Freeza.”
Freeza: “Fufufu…But it seems that of the two Saiyans who defeated me, you’ve only been able to locate Son Goku.”
Sorbet: “That’s correct. After your death we immediately began searching for the other one, but we never managed to track him down. Perhaps he has gone to another planet, or has died…Most likely the only Saiyans on Earth now are Son Goku, Vegeta, and Son Goku’s son.”
Freeza: “Well, I suppose that’s fine.”
Sorbet: “But even if you succeed in your revenge, they may still be resurrected with the dragon balls.”
Freeza: “Hmph, I’ll just destroy the Earth. That way, the dragon balls and that Hell I was imprisoned in will be gone too.”
Sorbet: “I…I see…”
Freeza: “By the way, do you remember our contingency plan?”
Sorbet: “O-Of course.”
Freeza sneers: “Excellent…”

Beerus’ small planet. Goku and Vegeta are being trained by Whis out in the garden.

The two attack Whis at blistering speed, but Whis dodges them so easily he looks like a blur. They can’t touch him no matter how hard they try.

Whis: “Alright, stop, stop.”

The two of them catch their breath.

Whis: “This is no good. You still aren’t nearly fast enough.”

Whis has a pen in hand.

Whis: “See, I even autographed you.”

Sure enough, a symbol that is apparently Whis’ signature is written on both their chests. They’re astounded. (This signature stays on them for the rest of the film)

Whis: “Both of you are still thinking first, then acting. Vegeta in particular. Speed has its limit. It takes time for your nerves to convey things from your senses or brain to your body.”
Goku: “Haha…that’s Vegeta alright!”
Vegeta: “Put a lid on it! You’re just an idiot, aren’t you!?”
Whis: “You need to have each part of your body think and move on its own, but this is very difficult. Even Lord Beerus hasn’t perfected it yet. If you can master this, then you’ll be able to avoid any danger. Well, it’ll take a lot of time and hard work, but I’ll teach you how. If you give me something tasty in return!”
Vegeta: “Are you trying to tell me you can move like that?”
Whis: “Of course.”
Goku: “But Whis, you’ve stepped in some poo.”
Whis: “AAAAHHHH!!!”

Whis neurotically rubs his shoe against a paving stone. Back shot of Goku and Vegeta watching this in silence. (Their upper bodies, just standing normally, without any sweat drops or anything.)

Whis: “Hohoho…Well, my shoes can’t think for themselves, after all…Anyway, Vegeta.”
Vegeta: “Wha…What?”
Whis: “Even though you’re a gifted fighter, Goku is always one step ahead of you.”
Vegeta: “Khh…No beating around the bush with you, is there?...”
Whis: “Do you understand why?”
Vegeta: “H…How should I know?!”
Whis: “You’re always too tense, so you can’t move at full speed when it really counts. Resting when you need to relax is important too. Like Goku does.”
Goku: “Haha, he’s right Vegeta.”
Whis: “But on the other hand…”

Having said that, he suddenly pokes his finger into Goku’s side.

Goku: “Guh!!! Kahaaaa…!!”

Goku doubles over in pain.

Goku: “Oww~! What’d ya’ do that for…?!”
Whis: “Getting too relaxed is also a problem. Another is how you overestimate yourself. No matter how strong you may be, your body is weak once you let your guard down. You often see people caught off guard when they’re overconfident.”
Vegeta: “Hmph…I suppose you’re right.”
Goku: “Ow…owy owow…N-No way!”

At this point, Beerus shows up scratching his head.

Beerus: “…Geeze...It’s so darn noisy…How am I supposed to sleep like this?!”

He fires a beam. Goku and Vegeta dodge it in a panic. The beam goes on to destroy a distant planet. Beerus hangs upside down from a nearby tree and goes back to sleep.

Goku: “Y-Yikes!!! If that had hit us head-on, we’d have been blown to bits…!!!”
Whis: “He always gets like this when he’s sleepy. Once, he destroyed two of those suns over there, so everything went pitch dark. It was just awful.”
Goku: “How’d you put the suns back to normal? Can you make stars?!”
Whis: “No, in cases like this I simply do things over again”
Goku: “Do things over again?”
Whis: “I just turn back time to a little bit before he messed up, and give him a good smack.”
Vegeta: “Just what the hell are you?!”
Whis: “Hohhohohoh, how I should I put this?...I’m a life-form called ‘Whis’…I suppose.”

Beerus looks at Goku and Vegeta drowsily, and drops down.

Beerus: “Hey, why are you guys here anyway?”
Goku: “O-Oh Lord Beerus, Whis is training us.”
Beerus: “I can see that for myself. But how’d you even get here?”
Goku: “We got in touch with Whis and he brought us over. I can’t sense your guys’ ki, so there was no other way.”
Beerus: “Whis brought you?...You guys lured him in with some food, didn’t you?”
Goku: “Hehehe…Maybe…”
Beerus: “Why are you so intent on getting stronger? Don’t tell me you’re aiming to take up my mantel as God of Destruction?”
Goku: “No way! I just wanna get stronger, that’s all.”
Vegeta: “…And I just don’t want this jerk to leave me behind in the dust.”
Whis: “You two really don’t get along well at all. If only you teamed up, why, you could even fight on par with Lord Beerus.”
Beerus: “Put a lid on it, Whis.”
Vegeta: “Kheh, I’d rather die than team up with him.”
Goku: “I don’t really mind being friends, but when it comes to fighting, I like to go one-on-one.”
Whis: “Goodness me.”
Beerus: “…Hmph…Anyway, what is it?”
Goku: “What?”
Beerus: “The treat that you brought.”
Whis: “Oh, this time it’s something called ‘pizza’.”

Beerus: “Hmmm…What an interesting name. Don’t tell me you ate it all.”
Whis: “I’ve left you a portion.”
Beerus: “I’ll help myself then. But this had better be delicious, or I’ll destroy you all for waking me up.”
Whis: “Alright, I’ll heat it up for you.”
Beerus: “…Hang on, you just said ‘this time’….So they’ve been here before?!”

Freeza’s giant spaceship lands on Earth. It’s a wilderness with towering mountains, and a sheer cliff down to the coast. A big city is visible a little ways off. This is North City.

The Freeza Army soldiers come out in droves. There’s an astonishing number of them. Sorbet and Tagoma are there too. Freeze is the last to emerge. He’s riding in the same pod as always.

Gohan and Piccolo can tell by the enormous ki that Freeza has arrived.

Piccolo: “Something’s come!”
Gohan: “Near North City!”

The two fly off at tremendous speed.

Freeza holds out a hand towards his soldiers: “Clear the way.”

The soldiers clear out of the way.

A beam fires from Freeza’s finger. It’s so destructive that North City is instantly obliterated.

Freeza: “Hohhohho, that’s just my way of saying ‘hello’.”

Tenshinhan’s flying along. He can tell that something’s wrong.

Tenshinhan: “Kuh…!! T-That bastard, how dare he…!!”

Gohan and Piccolo arrive directly in front of Freeza’s army. They gasp at its size. Freeza sneers. Then Tenshinhan arrives too.

Tenshinhan: “I left Chiaotzu and Yamcha behind. It seemed too dangerous.”
Gohan: “Bulma ordered me to tell Trunks and Goten not to come, since they’re too reckless.”

Next Kuririn arrives, carrying Kame-sennin on his back.

Kame-sennin: “Sorry we’re late. We went to fetch some Senzu from Karin’s tower.”
Gohan: “Kuririn! Seeing your head like that brings back so many memories.”
Kuririn: “Well, it’s got me fired up and ready to go…By the way, are Goku and Vegeta here yet?”
Tenshinhan: “Doesn’t look like it.”
Kuririn: “Darn them…Well, at least we’ve got Boo…Huh? Where is he!?”
Gohan: “He can’t come…Apparently once he goes to sleep, he doesn’t wake up for quite a while…”

Kame-sennin: “What?! That’s a big miscalculation…So we’ve only got 5 people then, huh?...Gohan! Have you kept up your martial arts training?”
Gohan: “Sadly no…My apologies…But I can still become a Super Saiyan…Probably…”

Freeza addresses Kuririn and co: “Has Son Goku arrived yet?”
Piccolo: “Why have you come to Earth?!”
Freeza: “Do you need to ask? For revenge, obviously.”
Kuririn: “H-He’ll be here soon…Just you wait…!”
Freeza: “Oh, aren’t you…Yes, I remember killing you. Hohhohho, I suppose you were resurrected by the dragon balls as well.”
Piccolo *talking to himself*: “The dragon balls…so that’s what happened back then.”

Jaco’s spaceship arrives. Bulma comes out. She looks at Freeza.

Bulma: “Oh no, it r-really is Freeza!”
Kuririn: “B-Bulma! Why’d you come here?!”
Bulma: “I haven’t heard back from Son-kun or Vegeta, so I had no choice!”

Bulma turns to Jaco inside the ship: “Hey, come out too and help them fight!”

Jaco: “No way. You said I only had to bring you here.”
Bulma: “What?! You’re supposed to be a super elite Galactic Patrolman! Where’s your pride?”
Jaco: “G-Guh…Alright…I’ll handle that big horde of enemies.”

Jaco reluctantly comes down out of his ship.

Tenshinhan: “…Who’s he?”
Gohan: “Not sure…Bulma certainly has a lot of weird friends.”
Kuririn: “But I can sense he’s pretty powerful…”

Freeza: “Hmph…I thought it was the Super Saiyan, but that’s the mark of the Galactic Patrol, isn’t it?...”

Bulma addresses Freeza: “Y-You really don’t know when to give up! How’d you come back to life?!”
Jaco: “Y-You imbecile! You could at least say that a little more politely!”
Freeza: “Oh, I remember you. We met very briefly on Planet Namek, didn’t we? Where’s your friend Son Goku?”
Bulma: “After all this time, why are you back for revenge now?”
Freeza: “Hohoho…I would have come sooner, but a lot came up.”
Bulma: “Well, the way Son-kun and the rest are now, they can take you down without breaking a sweat! You’d better head home while you’ve still got the chance!”
Kame-sennin: “B-Bulma, don’t provoke him!”
Freeza: “It’s a shame that you’ve come all this way just to watch your friends die.”
Bulma: “G-Gohan-kun, you’ve got this in the bag, right?”
Gohan: “The soldiers probably won’t be a problem, but Freeza’s another matter. You probably can’t tell, but he’s powered up so much that he’s like a totally different person than before…I’m sorry…”

Bulma: “Huh?...Th-That can’t be…”

Bulma, to Freeza: “M-My apologies, but Son-kun is off somewhere far away! Just wait a little while longer! Please!”
Freeza: “Very well. I’ve already waited so very long for this moment, I can hold off for another ten seconds.”
Kuririn: “T-Ten seconds!?”
Bulma: “You cheapskate!!”

Everyone braces themselves for a fierce battle.

Freeza: “Well then, shall we begin?”
Sorbet: “Soldiers! Kill them all!!”
Soldiers: “Yoooooo—oh!!!!!”

Kame-sennin takes in a deep breath, removes his jacket, and bulks up.

Kame-sennin: “OK, here goes!! If we each take down….uh…let’s see….about 170 a piece should do it!! Just hold out until Goku and Vegeta get here!!
Everyone: “Yooo---oh!!!!”

An astounding battle begins! (This scene is a major set piece. Of course, I just have to write out the words, so it’s pretty easy on my end. Sorry (^^). It’ll probably be rough on all you animators, but please do your best.)

Despite being called “Freeza Army”, by now it’s been reduced to merely a hodge-podge of second-rate warriors. Strength-wise Earth’s army overwhelmingly has the upper hand, and the enemy force’s numbers steadily drop. However, there are still some strong enemies. The mercenaries are particularly troublesome. Gohan is strongest. And Piccolo’s strong too. Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Kame-sennin, and even Jaco all play a big role.

While fighting, Kuririn says to Jaco: “I don’t know who you are, but you’re pretty good!”
Jaco replies, also while fighting: “Who am I? Who the heck are you guys?! You’re not Earthlings!”
Kuririn: “I am too an Earthling!”
Jaco: “What!? But you’re so strong, and you’ve got such a weird face”
Kuririn: “Shut up!”

There’s not much of Freeza’s army left, and Gohan defeats one powerful mercenary after another.

Piccolo is having a hard time against Shisami, the best warrior in Freeza’s army.

Sorbet: “I-I can’t believe it!...These guys are…!”
Freeza: “There’s nothing surprising about it. If he felt like it, Son Goku’s son over there could finish them all in an instant. But he’s trying not to kill anyone. He’s soft, just like his father. Why, Son Goku wouldn’t even kill a scoundrel like me. How truly noble of him………..and how absolutely revolting!”

Before long Earth’s army has defeated all of the soldiers save for one. (They pretty much don’t kill any of them.) Piccolo continues to battle Shisami, but Gohan swaps in for him.

Gohan: “Piccolo, please leave this to me!”

Gohan becomes Super Saiyan and instantly defeats Shisami.

Sorbet: “Im-Impossible…Even Shisami’s no match…”
Freeza: “You’ve only ever seen videos of Super Saiyans, so you can’t really know how fearsome they truly are. Still, I didn’t expect that the son would also be able to transform.”

The five are out of breath. They each eat a Senzu and recover. Surprisingly, Jaco isn’t out of breath, but is shamelessly inching away towards the back.

Freeza: “Dear me…I knew the quality of my army had gone down a notch or two, but this really is too much.”
A defeated soldier: “F…Forgive us…Th-They were far stronger than we thought…”
Freeza: “Oh, don’t worry about it. Still, it is quite an eyesore seeing you all piled up over there.”

Having said this, he fires a beam. Kuririn and the others dodge in a panic. With a burst of heat, the soldiers are blown to bits.

Kame-sennin: “W-What a monster…”

Bulma’s been watching all along from behind some rocks.

Bulma: “Ah, I knew they’d all do great! Though the biggest threat’s still there…”
Jaco: “Freeza’s terror is legendary even amongst the Galactic Patrol. Apparently he’s super strong.”

Somewhere along the line Jaco has snuck up behind Bulma.

Bulma: “No need to tell me that! What are you doing here, anyway? The important part’s just beginning!”
Jaco: “Don’t be stupid, haven’t I already done more than enough? You really think I’m going to fight the evil emperor Freeza?! I’ve got to draw the line somewhere!”

He folds his arms impressively the whole time, in complete contrast to what he’s saying.

Kuririn and the others face Freeza in silence.

While staring at Freeza, Kame-sennin addresses Piccolo: “What do you think? Can the five of us manage something if we fight together?”
Piccolo: “No, it’s hopeless. He’s a monster…completely out of our league…”
Kame-sennin: “You think so too, huh?...Too bad…”
Freeza: “None of you seem very eager to get things started…Well, I’m bored. How about I kill you off one by one?”

Hearing this, they all simultaneously brace themselves.

Freeza looks at Gohan.

Freeza: “You’re Son Goku’s child, aren’t you? My, how you’ve grown…”

No sooner has he said that than he nails Gohan in the stomach with blinding speed, then casually backflips back to his starting point.

Gohan: “Gah…”

Gohan goes down. Kuririn and Piccolo rush over to him.

Freeza: “Hohhohho, it seems even Super Saiyans are no longer a match for me.”
Kuririn: “Gohan!!!...O-Oh no!! His heart’s stopped! He can’t eat a Senzu!!”
Piccolo: “Out of my way!”

Piccolo places one hand on Gohan’s stomach, and revives him with a jolt.

Gohan: “Huuh, huuh!...”
Kuririn: “Gohan! Eat this Senzu!”

Gohan just barely manages to recover.

Freeza: “Oh, now this is a surprise. It seems they’ve got some strange medicine. I wonder how much longer they can draw this out?”
Tenshinhan: “H-How many Senzu do we have left?”
Kuririn: “Only one.”

Beerus’ planet. Goku and Vegeta continue to be trained by Whis. Beerus chows down on his pizza, a beer in one hand.

Beerus: “Whis!”

At this, he puts the training on hold.

Whis: “What it is, lord?”
Beerus: “What did you say this stretchy stuff was called?”
Whis: “Let me see…What was it?...”
Vegeta: “Cheese.”
Beerus: “That’s right, cheese. It’s a bit smelly, but it tastes wonderful.”

Goku: “Lord Beerus, don’t interrupt our training just to tell us that!”
Beerus: “How dare you show such insolence to the God of Destruction?! Never forget that the only reason I haven’t destroyed the Earth is because it has such delicious food!”
Goku: “I-I know…Sorry.”

And then, the Oracle Fish appears. She hums as she leisurely approaches, rocking gently back and forth like a metronome.

Oracle Fish: “Hey Whis, a message arrived for you from Earth a long time ago. You should pay more attention.”
Whis: “Oh, you’re right. I’ve got mail. Could it be another delicious message from Bulma?”

With that, he peers into the sphere on his staff. An image of Bulma forms.

Whis: “…Like I thought! Oh, a strawberry sundae? It looks gorgeous and delicious, I love it. I’d better reply back.”

Beerus eyes the image of the strawberry sundae: “Hurry, Whis!”

Bulma hears Whis’ voice in her head.

Whis: “Hello, is this ‘strawberry sundae’ a sweet by any chance?”
Bulma: “Ah!! Whis!? What took you so long to respond?!!”

Her voice is so loud that Whis and Beerus both wince. Goku and Vegeta can hear her voice too. On Earth, everyone turns around at the sound of her voice.

Bulma: “Vegeta and Son-kun are with you, right!? Tell them to get back here right away!! That evil scumbag Freeza’s returned from the dead and Earth’s in danger!!”
Freeza: “….scumbag?…”

Goku and Vegeta: “What!? Freeza!?”
Vegeta: “No, that’s not possible! How could Freeza be back...!?”
Goku: “Got it! I’ll have Whis take us pronto!”
Bulma: “There’s no time for that!! Son-kun, did you forget you can teleport!? Idiot!”
Goku: “Ah! No, wait a sec…Earth’s probably too far away for me to pick up anyone’s ki…”
Bulma: “Freeza’s got huge ki! You can pick him up, right?!!”

Bulma shouts at Kuririn and the others

Bulma: “Hey!! Son-kun’s going to teleport, so raise your powers to the max!!”
Kuririn and the others: “Huh!? O-OK!!”

Sorbet: “W-What’s all this about?...”
Freeza: *sneers* “Looks like they’re calling…him.”

Goku puts his finger to his head and says: “Got it!! Hey, Vegeta!”

Goku holds out his hand to Vegeta.

Vegeta: “W-What!? Why do I have to hold hands with you!?”
Goku: “Get a move on! Bulma could be killed! She’s bound to say something she shouldn’t.”
Vegeta: “Kuh…Kuh…”

The two hold hands.

Goku: “Right, let’s go!”

They disappear.
The two of them appear in front of Kuririn and the others. Everyone’s relieved.

Goku addresses Kuririn: “Did we make it in time?”
Kuririn: “…Yep. Well, you did cut it pretty close, but what else is new?”

Bulma hears Whis’ voice again

Whis: “By the way, exactly what is this ‘strawberry sundae’?”
Bulma: “Be quiet! I’ll tell you later.”

Freeza: “So, you’ve arrived at last…You certainly kept me waiting. I didn’t expect Vegeta to be with you. But the time has finally come for my revenge.”
Goku: “Wow, looks like it really is Freeza. How’d that happen?”
Piccolo: “They used the dragon balls about half a year ago. Isn’t that right?”
Freeza: “That place called ‘Earth’s Hell’ was truly hellish…My power was stolen from me, and I was wrapped up like a bagworm. For ages and ages, I was left out in this field of flowers off in the middle of a forest filled with angels and faeries…Sometimes I even had to watch these cute stuffed animals dance or hold a parade…Can you imagine my torment?...”

Freeza looks disgusted.

Goku: “So what? It’s your own fault you came to Earth and got yourself killed by Trunks.”

As Freeza slowly rises from his pod, he continues to speak.

Freeza: “I’ll never be able to get a good night’s sleep so long as you’re alive. That’s why once I came back to life, I trained so that I would never lose to you again. I’ve never put so much effort into anything before.”

Freeza descends to the ground.

Goku: “I guess you really have reached a whole new level. But I’ve gotten stronger too. Didn’t you think of that?”

Vegeta looks confident as well. He stands still, arms folded.

Freeza: “Quite frankly, you caught me off guard last time. So this time I’ll use my final form right from the start.”

Freeza is shrouded in a stupendous aura as he transforms into his final form. Goku and Vegeta’s previously confident expressions become tense.

Vegeta: “…Wha…?!”
Goku: “…Just what the hell kind of training did you do…!?”

Kame-sennin returns to his regular scrawny self: “T-This is bad…Hey everyone, get farther back!!”

The five of them go a little ways away. Vegeta doesn’t move an inch, but he’s no longer folding his arms, and has gone a bit stiff. Sorbet panics and hides behind a nearby rock.

Goku: “You really are something special. It’s a darn shame. If you weren’t so evil, you would have made a great rival.”
Freeza: “You always did know how to get under my skin…”

Boom!! The earth trembles as Goku goes into battle mode. The wind whips up a cloud of dust. The pair’s intense auras begin to distort the atmosphere.

Freeza: “Oh, aren’t you going to become a Super Saiyan?...”
Goku: “No need for me to go so far.”
Freeza: “Hoh…You seem quite confident.”
Goku: “Just a tad.”
Freeza: “Hmph, then how about I begin my revenge…?”

Both of them go into their stances. Silence. Then suddenly an explosive battle begins. The two of them fight fiercely without leaving their spot. The ground is blown away more and more due to the intensity. The others are forced to move even further away. Before long a huge hole has opened up. Violent, drum-like noises echo out from the hole.

Freeza comes flying out with a bang, and Goku follows after. This time they fight in the air. Thick clouds are blown away from the surrounding area, resulting in backlight that makes it difficult to see what’s happening from below. Freeza is hit hard and falls at incredible speed, going faster than sound and generating a shockwave. He crashes into the ground, but returns at such fearsome speed that he creates another shockwave, and the battle recommences. Freeza is sent flying numerous times, but always stops himself in midair and returns.

Piccolo: “I can’t believe it…Even up against so strong an opponent, Goku still hasn’t gotten hit even once…”
Jaco: “This is a nightmare…How can an Earthling be so powerful?”
Bulma: “He’s a Saiyan, actually.”
Jaco: “A Saiyan!? They’re supposed to be extinct! Why is one of them on Earth…!?”
Bulma: “My husband over there’s a Saiyan too, you know.”
Jaco: “Huh!? W-What?! I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that. Earth’s in my jurisdiction. I don’t want any trouble.”

Now an energy blast shootout begins. These blasts look like even one of them would be enough to wipe out the entire Earth if it hit the ground, so Vegeta keeps knocking back all the deadly stray shots. When his blasts all prove ineffective, Freeza starts fighting back with punches and kicks again.

Vegeta has watched all this in disgust, and suddenly attacks Goku.

Goku: “Wah! Tatatatah!!”
Vegeta: “Cut the crap!! We agreed to take turns fighting!”
Goku: “It’s still too soon!”

Goku and Vegeta have begun fighting intensely. Everyone else watches them dumbstruck.

Bulma: “W-What the hell are they doing!?”

Freeza’s dumbstruck too, but suddenly seems to realize something.

Freeza: “…Hohoho…I guess he’s still a little loyal to me after all…”

Freeza fires a beam at them and they separate.

Freeza: “Please stay out of these, Vegeta. I’ve come to defeat Goku myself.”
Goku, to Vegeta: “Yeah, let me fight a bit longer, then you can swap in.”
Vegeta: “Cheh…”

Vegeta reluctantly lands. He’s breathing heavily.

Vegeta: “Huuh…Huuh…Damn it…”

Goku approaches Freeza. He’s also breathing heavily. Apparently he’s used up a lot of stamina. Freeza and Goku face off against each other once more.

Freeza: “This is most unexpected. Even considering how much time has passed, I never imagined you could have improved so much.”

Goku: “Didn’t I tell you so?”
Freeza: “Well, I’m glad I trained.”
Goku: “Hehehe…I knew it. You’ve got something up your sleeve, haven’t you?”
Freeza: “I’m impressed that you can tell…But then, you’re hiding something as well.”
Goku: “Then let’s both go all-out. Play all our trump cards.”
Freeza: “Alright. You may go first.”
Goku: “You sure? Better not chicken out on me…OK, here goes!”

With a “Boom!” he transforms into a Super Saiyan. But if you look closely, his hair and aura are both light blue. Even Freeza’s a bit flustered at Goku’s aura.

Freeza: “Guuh…!”
Goku: “Do you like it?”
Freeza: “…So, you’ve become a Super Saiyan after all…”
Goku: “Hehehe…Actually, this here’s a bit different. It’s tough to explain, but I’m a Super Saiyan who’s a Saiyan with the power of Super Saiyan God.”
Freeza: “Good, then I made the right choice when I opted to challenge myself with a further evolution, just to be on the safe side. Otherwise I might have been in trouble…”
Goku: “Cut the talk and just transform already.”

Freeza sneers and begins quietly raising his battle power, as if trying to squeeze out more power.

Freeza: “Kuuoo---ooh….”

Rumble rumble rumble….the ground trembles and starts cracking open. The next moment there’s an explosive “bang!!” and a violent flash! Everyone shields their eyes. When they timidly look again, there’s Freeza, glowing gold.

Everyone is mute with fear. Even Goku and Vegeta can’t conceal their agitation.

Vegeta: “W-What the…!?”
Goku: “H-Holy cow…”
Freeza: “Hoho…I made it gold so it’d be easy to understand, but perhaps it’s a little too simple. It’s sort of a tacky name, but how does ‘Golden Freeza’ sound? I’m sure you can tell my color isn’t the only thing that’s changed.”
Goku: “Yeah…I’m excited, but also kinda nervous. I never expected you to be so strong…”
Freeza: “It seems this may be a tricky battle.”
Goku: “You can say that again…”

Goku turns to Vegeta: “Hey Vegeta, wanna swap in soon?”
Vegeta: “Don’t be so glib. You’re the one Freeza’s after.”
Goku: “Hehhehheh…OK then, I’ll give this a shot.”

Goku and Freeza take their stances. Vegeta and the others are all tense. There’s a long silence…Goku makes the first move. All at once, another fierce battle begins. Zudodododo…!!!!!!

The surrounding ground and rocks begin to break apart from the exchange of fast, heavy blows. Every now and then, one of them gets sent flying several kilometers and splashes into the sea, or crashes into some mountains, but the battle recommences immediately. Nobody’s eyes can keep up with this extreme speed.

At this time, Whis’s voice is heard.

Whis: “Greetings!”

Beerus and Whis are suddenly standing right there by Bulma and the others.

Kuririn: “L-Lord Beerus…and Whis!”
Whis: “Bulma, we’ve come for that strawberry sundae. Did you bring it?”
Bulma: “Huh?...Y-Yeah, I’ve got it…”
Beerus: “We came a long way for that sundae. If it’s not as tasty as it looks, I’ll destroy you.”
Bulma: “T-This really isn’t the time or place…”

Beerus’ hand glows, and it looks like he’s about to fire a beam.

Bulma: “O-OK! …But it might be a bit melted.”

Bulma goes to fetch the strawberry sundae from out of Jaco’s spaceship. Goku and Freeza’s battle continues, but Goku gets sent flying a lot. Bulma passes out the strawberry sundae to Beerus and Whis, along with spoons and forks.

Beerus: “Hoh, this looks delicious.”

Whis has a big cup in his hand, and the two of them begin eating the sundae. The others all look on dumbstruck.

Whis: “Oh, this is based on that ‘ice cream’ we tried a while back.”

Beerus discards his fork and instead pierces a giant strawberry with his claw. He gazes at it: “Looks like the brain of one of those big frogs on Planet Manu…” [Planet Manu=probably a pun on numa, meaning “swamp”; Numa-gaeru is the Asian grass frog]

He tries a little piece: “Hoh! It’s a fruit! So juicy and refreshing! Whis, this tastes great!!”
Whis: “I’ve already had one. Such a simple yet delicious desert.”
Beerus: “By the way, that Freeza guy’s gotten a lot stronger.”
Whis: “Goku certainly is having a difficult fight. Oh? Bulma, this white substance isn’t ice cream.”
Bulma: “Huh? O-Oh, t-that’s fresh cream…”
Beerus: “He and Vegeta could win this if they tag-teamed it, but Vegeta’s sitting it out.”
Whis: “Those two definitely won’t team up. Their pride is too high.”
Beerus: “Idiots.”
Whis: “Hohoho, are you any different?”

Goku’s sent flying and crashes into the ground. He gets right back up again, but is really out of breath. His dougi is in tatters.

Freeza lands nearby. He’s pretty out of breath too, but grinning.

Goku: “Huuh…Huuh…Man, I’ve had it…I’m kinda getting my butt kicked…”

Freeza: “…Hoh…Hohhoh…That’s right…”
Goku: “You really are something else…It took me ages to get to where I am today, but you’ve caught right up.”
Freeza: “Hohhohhoh…It’s no use begging for mercy. You’ve fought valiantly, but in the end you’re still nothing more than a Saiyan. This time I’ll make sure I tear you to pieces.”

Sorbet’s delighted: “T-That’s it! Good going…!”

Freeza beams with confidence, but he suddenly goes pale the moment he spots Beerus.

Freeza: “B-Beerus…!!”
Beerus: “Is that any way to address me, Freeza?”
Freeza: “……Lord….Beerus…What are you doing here…?”
Beerus: *while eating* “Can’t you tell? I came to eat this thing here.”
Freeza: “Ar-Are you going to interfere with my revenge…?”
Beerus: “Hmph, I couldn’t care less. Just be sure to fight further away. You’re getting dust on my dessert.”
Freeza: “…So, you won’t interfere…”
Beerus: “I just said I don’t care, didn’t I?! I’m the God of Destruction; I’m not on anyone’s side.”
Bulma: “Won’t you help Goku out?!”
Beerus: “Hey, a fight’s a fight.”
Bulma: “But everyone’s going to get killed!”
Beerus: “…Put a lid on it. Don’t worry, since you gave me this tasty treat, I’ll save you. But only you. Just be sure to stay close by me.”

Hearing this, Kuririn and the rest all gather around Beerus too.

Beerus and Whis continue to eat their melting strawberry sundae.

Jaco whispers to Bulma: “Hey, is that really Beerus, the God of Destruction?”
Bulma: “That’s right.”
Jaco: “Is it OK if I take a picture with him?”
Bulma: “Go ask him yourself. But don’t blame me if you get destroyed.”
Jaco: “…Alright then.”

Freeza: “Well, shall I continue my revenge?”
Goku: “You really wanna keep going? I think you’re better off just quitting while you’re ahead and going home. I mean, getting resurrected couldn’t have been easy.”
Freeza: “Do you really think I’d retreat when victory is within my grasp?”
Vegeta: “Kakarot, can I swap in now?”
Goku: “Hey, no fair! I bet you’ve figured out Freeza’s weakness too!”
Freeza: “Weakness? Hohoho…What nonsense. Surely you must have realized from watching our battle that I have no such thing.”
Goku: “Hehehe…True, you don’t have one…yet.”
Freeza: “?”
Vegeta: “You let your lust for revenge get the better of you, so you came straight here the moment you achieved that ‘Golden Freeza’ evolution.”
Freeza: “So what?”
Goku: “So it eats up your stamina. You shoulda spent more time getting used to it before coming here.”
Freeza: “...Hmph…I see, then I’d better kill you right away.”

Freeza comes flying at Goku, but Goku takes off into the sky at stupendous speed, with Freeza in hot pursuit. Freeza’s still faster than him, and they start trading blows again. Occasionally Goku flees off into the distance, and Freeza tries taking him down with a volley of energy blasts. This pattern repeats a few times.

Before too long, Goku’s getting in more hits when the two trade blows. Freeza begins to lose it; more and more he avoids exchanging blows and keeps his distance.

Beerus: *piercing strawberries with his claws* “Hey, they were right. Looks like the tables are starting to turn.”
Whis: “Hold on a minute, that’s my strawberry.”
Beerus: “Liar. How many have you ate?”
Whis: “Three.”
Beerus: “I’ve only had two.”
Whis: “No, you have had four. There were only eight strawberries altogether.”
Beerus: “Just let it slide. I’m a god, after all.”

As the battle continues, Goku fires a Kamehameha that knocks Freeza down to the ground. He stands back up, but makes no further movements.

Freeza: “Huuh…Huuh…Huuh…”
Goku: “Huuh…Huuh…Huuh…Well, what’d I tell you? I’m not gonna be hard on you. Just go home.”

Freeza trembles: “Guh…Guguguh…”
Goku: “I’ll take you on next time.”
Freeza: “Kuuooo---oh!!!!!!”

The earth cracks from his anger. He continues to hit the ground.

Freeza: “WHY?!! WHY?! Kyee—eh!!!!! Impossible!!!!”

Freeza trembles with rage. He seems to have lost the will to fight.

Freeza: “…Kuh…”

As Freeza kneels trembling on the ground, he glances at Sorbet. Sorbet nervously gives a slight nod.

Goku: “Phew…”

At that moment, a beam pierces Goku’s body! Everyone’s shocked.

Goku collapses: “Guh…Kukuh…!!”

It turns out the beam was fired from Sorbet’s ray gun.

Freeza rises to his feet.

Freeza: “Splendid job, Sorbet.”
Sorbet: “T-Thank you, lord.”
Freeza: “Good thing I came up with that contingency plan…”

As Goku struggles to get up, Freeza approaches and kicks him into a boulder.

Goku: “Gahaah!!”

The others rush in to help Goku, but Freeza keeps them at bay with an energy blast.

Kuririn: “Kuuh…!!”
Freeza: “Hohoho…I always knew kindness was your weakness. You’re too strong for your own good. It makes you easy to catch off guard. So despite your tough body, you’ve been taken down by a mere ray gun. How does it feel?...Hoho, how truly unfortunate of you. You’ve won the battle, but lost the war.”
Whis: “See see, didn’t I tell you?”
Beerus: *licking the inside of the strawberry sundae container* “Freeza may fight dirty, but he gets results.”

Freeza places a hand on the agonized Goku.

Freeza: “Finally, the moment I’ve dreamed of…Hohhohhoh!!”
Freeza suddenly seems to have an idea, and looks over at Vegeta.

Freeza: “…Just killing him like this won’t be very interesting…Vegeta, how about I let you do it?”
Vegeta: “What?”
Freeza: “You can’t fool me. You hate this Saiyan too, don’t you? Show your loyalty to me, like in the old days. Then I’ll spare you. Fufufu…”

Vegeta stands silent for a while, then finally heads in Goku’s direction.

Bulma: “V-Vegeta!”
Freeza: “Be quite!”

Vegeta looks down on Goku.

Goku: “I…g-got my butt kicked…haha…”

Vegeta continues to look at Goku in silence.

Vegeta: “…Didn’t Whis just warn you about this sort of thing? And you wonder why I call you an idiot.”

He then slowly turns to Freeza.

Vegeta: “It’s a generous offer, but sorry, as much as this guy may piss me off, I can’t become stronger without him. There’s no way I could ever kill him.”

Freeza seems surprised.

Freeza: “Fufu…Well then, how about this? I’ll make you supreme commander of my army!...Of course, currently Sorbet’s the only member of my army left, but we can always get new recruits.”
Vegeta: “What? Supreme commander?...Are you serious?”
Freeza: “Hohhohhoh…Of course I am.”
Vegeta: “Shit…It’s too bad…”
Freeza: “Huh?”
Vegeta: “That I’ve already decided…to completely obliterate you.”
Freeza: “W-What?!”
Vegeta: “You destroyed my world, Planet Vegeta! How could I possibly be loyal to you?”

Freeza glares at Vegeta.

Whis: *whispering* “Oh, but then, Lord Beerus was also in favor of Planet Vegeta’s destruction.”
Beerus: “SSSHH! Pipe down!”

Vegeta: “Hey Kuririn, feed Kakarot a Senzu.”
Kuririn: “O-OK.”
Freeza: “I won’t allow it!!”

Freeza fires a powerful energy blast! But Vegeta knocks it back!

Sorbet: “Gyaaaah…!!”

The deflected blast annihilates Sorbet. Freeza’s astonished that his full-power energy blast was deflected.

Kuririn hurries to feed Goku a Senzu.

Kuririn: “Hang in there! Good thing we’ve got one left.”

Goku recovers.

Goku: “Phew, thanks Vegeta! You saved my bacon!”
Vegeta: “Hmph, only because I’m taking the best part for myself.”
Goku: “Yeah, I know. You can swap in for me.”

Freeza glares at Vegeta.

Freeza: “Hoh…Hohhohhoh…T-There’s no way you could ever defeat me.”
Vegeta: “Haaaa---ah…!!” *Boom!*

Vegeta transforms into the same light blue Super Saiyan as Goku. Freeza’s astonished.

Vegeta: “Oh yeah, guess you didn’t know, but I can also become a legendary Super Saiyan.”

Vegeta slowly draws near Freeza. Panicking, Freeza fires an energy blast at Vegeta, but he knocks it aside and continues his approach. Freeza fires several more blasts, but they’re all likewise deflected. Finally, the two are face-to-face.

Vegeta: “You must be well aware that I’m not as soft as Kakarot. Hope you’re ready…”
Freeza: “H-Hmph…H-How dare you speak that way to me, Vegeta…!”

The two of them trade blows. With a “Snap!”, Freeza gets hit. Vegeta’s expression doesn’t change. Freeza continues attacking Vegeta, but Vegeta blocks everything and gets in attacks of his own. Freeza is on his last legs. A full-power blow sends him crashing into some boulders. His body starts flickering as it reverts from golden back to normal.

Freeza: “W-Why you miserable little…T-This…This can’t be happening…”

Vegeta raises one hand towards Freeza. An energy ball to finish Freeza off begins to form.

Vegeta: “This is the end. No more resurrections for you.”
Freeza: “Or for you!!”

At that moment, Freeza unleashes a powerful blow at the ground.

Vegeta: “What!?”
Goku: “Damn!”
Beerus: “Oh, cripes! Hey, Whis!”
Whis: “Yes, lord!”

The Earth explodes from Freeza’s blow. Specks of light scatter in all directions, Earth vanishes, and the universe finally goes silent.

A big, strange, transparent pink object floats through space. It’s something Whis created. Inside is the exact spot where everyone was standing, taken away ground and all. Apart from Freeza and Vegeta, everyone is inside.

Kame-sennin: “I-I can’t believe it…”
Kuririn: “T-The Earth…the Earth is…”

Bulma is sobbing: “Waa~~aah, Vegeta, Trunks, Papa, Mama!!”
Piccolo: “T-That bastard…He took everything down with him…”
Whis: “No, Freeza is most likely not dead.”
Gohan: “Huh!?”
Beerus: “He can survive even in the vacuum of space. Hmm, he really thought things through.”
Tenshinhan: “Damn him…!!”
Kame-sennin: “…The dragon balls have been wiped out too…we can never put things back to normal.”

Goku: “G-God damn it…!! I shoulda ended it when I had the chance…!”
Whis: “Well then, how about ending it?”
Goku: “Huh?”
Beerus: “You brought this about by being too soft, so go send Freeza back to that flower garden.”
Goku: “W-What are you talking about?”
Whis: “Alright then, I’ll restore time. You’d better hurry, my maximum is three minutes.”
Goku: “Huh? D-Don’t tell me that…”
Whis: “That’s right, we’ll just do things over.”

And with that, Whis twice strikes his staff to the ground.

Time turns back, the light gathers together, and Earth is restored. In the blink of an eye, things have returned to the scene where Vegeta had Freeza cornered. Everyone’s amazed.

Vegeta raises one hand towards Freeza. An energy ball to finish Freeza off begins to forms.

Goku takes off!

Vegeta: “This is the end. No more resurrections for you.”
Freeza: “Or for you!!”

The very next moment, a voice comes from the side.

Goku: “HA----A!!!!!!!”

A gigantic Kamehameha takes Freeza by surprise.

Freeza: “Wha…Wha-What…?!!”

GUOOOOH!!!!!!

Freeza is annihilated.

Goku: “Phe~ew, that did the trick!”
Vegeta: “K-Kakarot…What did you do that for…!?”
Bulma: “Don’t worry, Vegeta! Son-kun just saved you, and the Earth!”
Vegeta: “…What…?”

The group rejoices. Vegeta gets filled in on the details.

Beerus: “My my, how pathetic…A God of Destruction, regenerating a planet.”
Bulma: “I’ll prepare a whole feast for you two! After I’ve restored North City with the dragon balls, that is.”

Whis: “I’m looking forward to it. That’s why I turned back time, after all.”
Bulma, to Jaco: “Shouldn’t you arrest him? I thought time control was a serious crime?”
Jaco: “…I didn’t see anything.”

Goku approaches Vegeta.

Vegeta: “What? I’m not going to say thanks. We’re already even as far as I’m concerned.”
Goku: “Not that, Vegeta. I was just thinking we never woulda gotten into that pinch in the first place if we had teamed up from the start, like Whis said we should. Maybe it’d be OK for us to work together, every now and again?”
Vegeta: “Hmph, I’m not going to do that either.”
Goku: “Hehhehheh…Good, me neither.”
Vegeta: “That’s the first time we’ve ever agreed on anything.”

Vegeta smirks, while Goku chuckles.

<Ending>

After the ending theme.
In a field of flowers, Freeza is wrapped up like a bagworm, surrounded by faeries and angels, cute stuffed dolls and small animals.

Everyone: “Welcome back!”
Freeza: “NOO------OOO!!!!!!!”
