34 Fight 2 (1/2)

With Raditz blocking Frieza, Gohan managed to carry Goku over to Dende and have Goku healed up. Like usual for a Saiyan, Goku's Ki shot up after experiencing a Zenkai. But except for Raditz's teammates and Dende who could sense Ki. Neither Frieza, Vegeta nor Nappa could sense the huge increase in Goku's Ki.

But after Frieza had noticed Gohan's abnormality, to appear completely unharmed after taking his Death Beam, he had clearly paid great attention to their movements.

”So that's how he recovered!” Frieza said in understanding. Having clearly seen how the severely injured Goku had now jumped back up his feet as if he was unharmed. If not for Goku's clothes had turned into rags, no one would have known Goku had been reduced to a mess earlier.

”Dende! Get back!” Raditz shouted without turning his head. Knowing what had happened to Dende in the original storyline after Frieza realized Dende's ability to heal. Raditz did not want Dende to die.

Dende felt Frieza's hostile stare, hurriedly complied. He ran a fair distance away and hid behind a cliff.

”You are strong, one may even say exceptional. To be able to match half my power.” Frieza said arrogantly and was not in a hurry to fight.

”What?! He must be bluffing! That can't be just half of his power!” Piccolo had a sharp hearing, could hear Frieza's words from afar.

”What do you say, we have a warm-up? It's been a long time since I had any real exercise.” Frieza said.

”You're still as arrogant as ever.” Raditz said.

”That's because you are still not a worthy opponent.” Frieza said nonchalantly and silently added in his mind ”And you won't get a chance to become a Super Saiyan, for I will make sure you die here.”

Raditz dashed forward and sent a punch, Frieza dodged by jumping up and sent a kick to Raditz's head. Raditz bent backward and avoided the kick, not stopping, Raditz continued bending more and pushed his arms against the ground. Like doing a kick up, but Raditz used the force to kick with both his feet at Frieza. This unexpected move took Frieza by surprise and connected, sending Frieza hurtling backward before Frieza stamped down his feet and broke the momentum after drawing two long ditches.

Raditz rushed up and sent a flurry of kicks, which Frieza dodged and did a leg sweep. Raditz jumped up but was slapped in the face by Frieza's tail.

”I can do that too!” Raditz jumped forward and swept his leg, Frieza jumped up but Raditz's tail coiled around Frieza's left leg and tugged him back down. Raditz had wanted to punch between Frieza's legs, but he did not see anything there so he aimed for Frieza's gut instead.

Frieza's other leg kicked forward and blocked Raditz's punch, then sent his tail slapping toward Raditz again. Raditz let go of Frieza's leg and jumped backward to dodge the tail slap.

The two continued to make numerous exchanges lightning-fast, but neither side could do any serious harm to the other.

”This really is a warm-up, huh.” Raditz said with a wry smile.

”Those two are really monsters!” Piccolo exclaimed.

”Big brother isn't doing any damage to Frieza. It looks like Frieza really is only using half his power.” Goku said.

”But it's just a warm-up for them. Don't forget Raditz still has the Kaioken.” Yamcha said. Because neither side was launching Energy attacks and only exchanging physical attacks, Yamcha could deduce that Frieza and Raditz were only having a warm-up.

”Although it's a warm-up, Raditz is already using 20x Kaioken.” Tien Shinhan said gravely. As Tien Shinhan also was a user of Kaioken, it wasn't difficult for him to notice Raditz had Kaioken activated.

”What?! Oh no! What do we do? Krillin, Chiaotzu and that future guy better hurry and collect the Dragon Balls!” Yamcha said worriedly and hoped the others would hurry up and collect the remaining Dragon Balls so they could wish for everyone except for Frieza and his men to relocate to Earth.

Frieza and Raditz continued their lightning-fast exchanges for another 10 minutes. Raditz was sweating quite a lot from having his physical strength drained from his continuous use of 20x Kaioken. If not for having mastered 300x gravity, Raditz would not have been able to keep using 20x Kaioken for so long.

”Heheheh, I suppose that's enough of a warm-up.” Frieza said with a grin.
