Frieza sat cross-legged in the heart of his ship's gravity chamber, the metallic hum of the machinery around him the only sound breaking the silence. His crimson eyes remained shut as he focused inward, his mind and body working in perfect harmony to channel his immense power.
It had been three days since his departure from Earth, and in that short time, Frieza's strength had already doubled. The once-repressed potential, which had been bottled up by his cyborg body, now flowed freely through him, making each training session an opportunity for exponential growth.
The gravity within the chamber had been increased tenfold since he started, reaching levels that would crush a lesser being. Frieza remained unphased, his body now capable of handling these extreme conditions with ease.
His power, once immense but held back by his mechanical parts, was now unleashed in its entirety. His golden form was just on the horizon, and Frieza knew that with enough time and rigorous training, he would unlock the transformation that would place him leagues above any opponent.
The chamber glowed with a faint, pulsating energy as Frieza floated mid-air, his body enveloped in a brilliant aura. His muscles twitched slightly as he worked to manipulate his ki into something new.
He was attempting to take his energy control to a new level, pushing it beyond what even the Saiyans had shown him. He had seen the techniques of his enemies, especially Goku, and now he sought to surpass them by creating a massive, ki-based form of himself, much like the Mastered Ultra Instinct technique Goku had briefly displayed in the manga.
With a deep breath, Frieza opened his eyes, and his aura flared brighter, expanding outward as if it were trying to take shape. He raised his arms, and the energy began to condense, swirling and taking form in the air around him.
Slowly but steadily, the shape of a gigantic Frieza, made entirely of ki, began to materialize. It stood tall, towering over the real Frieza, its ethereal body shimmering with raw power.
Frieza grinned, his sharp teeth gleaming. "It's taking form… but still too unstable."
The massive ki construct wavered slightly, its form rippling as the energy fought against itself. Frieza narrowed his eyes, focusing harder, his hands tightening as he willed the construct to solidify.
Sweat beaded on his brow as he pushed his body and mind to their limits, determined to perfect this new technique. The construct's features became more defined, the outline of his face and limbs becoming clearer.
But just as it seemed to be stabilizing, the construct flickered, and with a resounding crackle, the energy dissipated, leaving the chamber in eerie silence once more.
"Tsk," Frieza clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Not yet, but soon. I'm getting closer."
He floated down to the chamber floor, his feet barely making a sound as he landed. His breathing was steady, but the frustration of not yet mastering the technique was clear in his expression. Still, his progress was undeniable.
In just three days, his power had grown tremendously, and he could feel the golden transformation within reach. By his calculations, it would take him three more months and three weeks of this intense training before he could fully unleash the Golden Frieza form, a state that would put even the gods to shame.
Frieza clenched his fists, feeling the raw power surging through his veins. The sensation was intoxicating, a reminder of his dominance over the universe. "Soon, I will stand above all," he muttered to himself. "No one, not even those monkeys, will be able to challenge me."
....
Meanwhile, in the Other World, the Z-Fighters were deep into their own training. The small, dense planet of King Kai had become their new battleground, and the Z-Fighters were pushing themselves harder than ever before.
The planet's intense gravity, ten times stronger than Earth's, weighed heavily on their bodies, but it was exactly the kind of challenge they needed to surpass their limits.
Goku stood at the edge of the planet, a massive boulder balanced precariously on his shoulders. His body was drenched in sweat, his muscles straining as he worked to maintain control of the boulder while focusing on his breathing.
In his mind, he was concentrating on mastering the Kaio-Ken technique, a skill he had used many times before but never to its full potential.
"Kaioken... with Super Saiyan... it's risky, but if I can pull it off…" Goku muttered under his breath, gritting his teeth as he pushed the boulder higher into the air.
King Kai watched from the sidelines, his expression a mix of amusement and concern. "Goku, you're pushing it a bit far, don't you think? Kaio-Ken is dangerous enough on its own, but combining it with Super Saiyan? You could end up destroying your body."
Goku smiled despite the strain. "I know, King Kai. But if I can master it... it'll give me an edge against Frieza and the Androids. I've gotta try."
King Kai sighed but nodded in agreement. "Just be careful, Goku. You may be dead right now, but that doesn't mean you can't damage your spirit body. Overdoing it might make it harder to come back."
Goku nodded, his focus unwavering. The power of Super Saiyan surged through him as he activated the Kaio-Ken on top of it, his aura flaring with a brilliant red and gold glow. His muscles screamed in protest, the strain of combining both techniques pushing his body to the brink.
But Goku wasn't one to back down from a challenge. He could feel the energy swirling inside him, the chaotic clash of Super Saiyan and Kaio-Ken. If he could master this, he would be ready for anything.
On the other side of the planet, Vegeta was pushing himself just as hard. He had tied himself to a massive metal slab, its weight crushing down on him as he performed push-ups in the planet's intense gravity. Sweat poured from his brow, but his determination was unyielding.
"I will not let Kakarot surpass me," Vegeta growled, his muscles bulging as he continued his rigorous training. "Frieza... the Androids... I will destroy them all. No one will stand in my way."
Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin were also deep in their own training regimens, each of them working to increase their strength and hone their techniques.
Piccolo, ever the strategist, was focused on refining his energy manipulation, creating energy spheres that hovered around him, each one charged with lethal force.
Gohan, still young but driven by the desire to protect his loved ones, worked tirelessly on his speed and strength, determined to be ready when the time came. Krillin, though physically smaller than the others, pushed himself to the limit, knowing that his experience and cunning would be just as valuable in the battles to come.
The Z-Fighters trained relentlessly, their bodies aching and their minds focused. They knew the stakes, and they were prepared to do whatever it took to be ready. Goku's Kaio-Ken training continued, each session bringing him closer to mastering the dangerous technique.
"Just a little more... I can feel it," Goku whispered to himself as his aura blazed around him.
....
Back in his ship, Frieza continued his training, his mind focused entirely on achieving his golden form.
As he floated once more in the gravity chamber, his aura flared to life, brighter and more intense than before. Frieza's body tensed as he summoned all his energy, pushing himself further than he ever had. He could feel the power growing inside him, the potential for greatness just within reach.
"This universe will tremble before me," Frieza whispered, his eyes glowing with anticipation. "I will become the ultimate lifeform."
And with that, Frieza continued his relentless pursuit of perfection, knowing that soon, he would stand above all.
