Third form Freeza's elongated head was smashed onto the ground, the sheer force cracked his head and deformed his face.
"Haaah!"
But the attacker didn't let go, Freeza's body kept ragdolling across the environment.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
Sadly for the attacker, it seems the angry Freeza finally found a chance to fight back, his thick tail smashed onto the white armoured man.
"Gah!"
Raditz chest sunk, his armour deformed as he was catapulted across the environment, breaking multiple trees and finally smashing into a lake.
*Splash*
Quickly holding his breath Raditz attempted to swim back out, his yellow eyes glowed with power.
"Umf!!"
But as soon as he was about to surface, his head was gripped tightly from above.
It was Freeza's three fingered feet keeping him underwater, his head was pushed further back in the more he struggled, even his skull was also under a lot of pressure, Freeza was squeezing it with all his strength.
As if wanting for it to split open like a watermelon, Raditz's eye's yellow glow was intense, but it didn't do anything, his strength simply couldn't keep up.
'Damn it!'
This was looking like a dead end, the constant thrashing was taking away his energy and his lungs were on fire.
The only reason he could persist for so long under such pain was due to pie pie giving him advise on how to conserve energy underwater.
But all things had an end, even his lung capacity.
*Crack*
"Umf-"
*Blurb*
Water started pouring down Raditz's throat which was burning his lungs, his struggle got weaker and weaker, he kept gripping at Freeza's feet with no hope.
Even the yellow glow started flashing in his eyes, his Ikari was failing with him unable to keep his concentration.
Just before Raditz's light was completely extinguished, his body flared up with a red aura.
*Boooom*
The resulting ki burst blew apart the lake in it's entirety which gave Raditz a chance to breathe again.
He used that one gasp of breath to hold onto Freeza's legs, and flipped himself up, hitting Freeza's face straight with his muscular leg.
"Booooom*
Which caused Freeza to loosen his grip as he went hurtling through the green fields, Raditz ignoring all that quickly straightened himself.
He was breathing heavily, his entire body was wet form the water and his mane was dripping with sweat.
"Enough!"
The red aura enveloping Raditz was snuffed out, which caused a chain reaction and the entire environment started flickering in and out of existence.
Within a few more seconds the surroundings vanished completely, Raditz's armour no longer had any water stains, there was no lake neither were there any trees.
The whole environment was gone, the only thing that remained was the pain Raditz felt and the half broken android T.
*Voom*
Raditz was trying to get his breath back when the door to the gravity room opened and a lot of people poured in with various emotions on their faces.
Nappa was the first to go and get Raditz up, everyone had seen the entire fight, it was meant more as a taste of what's to come.
The idea was hatched by Bulma while she worked on the holograms, and Raditz agreed to get it done but after watching this fight it was less a taste, and more a punch to the face.
"King.. how is Freeza so strong..? Even the Legendary Super Saiyan can't beat him.."
After coughing a bit more Raditz got his bearings back and wondered how he should respond to the shaken Nappa.
This setup was more than just a simulation, the attacks he experienced were the real deal, he alone was under immense gravity but Android T who acted as Freeza was free from any gravity.
This made simulating a real opponent easy for Bulma, she did something like that in canon too but it was only plain drones which attacked Vegeta.
Here the existence of android T took her down a different path, now instead of flying robots it was an android cloaked with a hologram which attacked the user.
"Freeza.. if you want my honest answer, I believe his full power is above 100 million, this is just something I felt whenever I had been around Freeza."
"Although I am pretty sure this is accurate, even these forms are something I had once seen by chance when I snuck into king cold's palace."
That was Raditz's answer to how he knew about the forms Freeza had in the the first place, and this had actually happened.
The orginal Raditz had once wandered into a corridor he shouldn't have been to, and there were portraits of different forms of Freeza's race.
Those might have been one man's transformation, or it might have been different people of the Freeza race, like King cold himself.
Almost nobody knew about Freeza transformations so orginal Raditz didn't connect these with transformations, but this was now an excellent cover form Raditz.
"...Freeza is above a hundred million!?!"
Nappa finally managed to push these words out of his throat, everyone was almost aghast after watching this fight and didn't know how to handle the fact that...
This wasn't even his final form!
Their idea to watch what they were up against didn't seem like such a good idea anymore, now that they know how less of a chance they had.
Only a few more days remained for them to reach Namek, the z fighter's needed to think quickly if they wanted to survive against Freeza.
