Frieza floated down into the center of town. Everyone had gone inside their homes by then, so no one saw him. Yet.

"No one's around," Frieza said. "I don't know if this is good or bad.... and I don't sense Trunks anywhere. Well, time to start searching."

Frieza walked over to the door of a small house near the town square. He turned the doorknob. It was unlocked. Frieza walked into the house, waving his tail back and forth.

"Hello there," Frieza said, smiling. "Is anyone home?"

A young woman who was sitting on the couch in the room Frieza had just entered stood up. She screamed.

"Who are you?" the woman shouted fearfully.

"My name is Frieza, and I'm here looking for Trunks," Frieza said. "Have you seen him?"

"T-T-T-Trunks hasn't been around..." the woman said, shaking in fear. "He came here a few days ago, but-"

Frieza lunged forward and grabbed the woman around the neck.

"Wrong answer!" Frieza shouted. Suddenly, as if he had heard something, his head turned to the side. "Hmmm... that's definately Trunks. Well, well, well, this is your lucky day."

Frieza tossed the woman away and flew out of the house. He looked up into the sky to see a large, golden dot flying toward him.

"He's back," Frieza said. "Ha!"

Frieza floated into the air above the town. Trunks continued flying toward him until the two could see each other clearly. Trunks stopped and floated into the air about fifty feet from Frieza. His hair glowed with a bright golden glow.

"So, Frieza," Trunks said, now in his Super Saiyan state. "Ready to start our battle again?"

"Of course," Frieza said, smiling. "I hope you don't run like a coward like you did the last time we fought. Where's that blue-haired girl that was following you around?"

"She's not here," Trunks said. "Only me."

"Well, it doesn't matter," Frieza said. "I'll kill you, and then destroy this pathetic, deserted excuse for a planet."

"Before you do," Trunks said, "may I show you something?"

"Show me something?" Frieza said with a puzzled look on his face. "What exactly do you want to show me?"

"You see, Frieza, I too have a second transformation," Trunks said. He put out his arms and clenched both of his hands into fists, then pulled them back in front of his chest. Frieza's eyes grew wide.

"You can't be serious!" Frieza shouted. "There is only one Super Saiyan form, and I have surpassed it!"

"You're wrong, Frieza," Trunks said. "You've never seen... an Ultimate Super Saiyan."

Trunks' golden aura flared up. His muscles began to swell. Frieza recoiled slightly.

"What's... going on?" Frieza yelled in shock. Trunks' began to yell loudly. People that were in their houses came out to watch Trunks' transformation. Trunks' muscles continued to grow, and his aura exploded in a brilliant flash of light.

"Yaaaaaaaaaah!" Trunks shouted, continuing to increase his power. Finally, the transformation ended. Trunks' muscles had expanded to twice their normal size, and an incredible golden flame surrounded him. Frieza gasped.

"It... it can't be!" Frieza shouted. "You... you stupid Saiyan monkey! You just got bigger, that's all!"

"Really?" Trunks asked. "Would you like to find out? I'll give you a free shot."

Frieza growled in rage and flew right at Trunks. He took a swing at Trunks' face, but before his fist could connect, Trunks grabbed Frieza's wrist and began squeezing it. Frieza began groaning in pain.

"Aw, you missed," Trunks said. "Wanna try again?"

Trunks released Frieza's wrist, then spun around and kicked Frieza squarely in the jaw, sending the evil Changling plummeting to the town below.

"Look out!" Trunks shouted to a family of three that had strayed into the falling Frieza's path. They each ran in different directions, escaping right before Frieza slammed into the middle of the town square, sending dust and cobblestone up into the air.

"That was a close one..." said a small boy who had barely managed to dodge the falling Frieza. "Thank you!"

"I've gotta take this fight away from the town somehow," Trunks thought. Frieza slowly stood up in the small hole that he had made when he fell. He brushed himself off and flew up to face Trunks.

"You got a lucky shot, jerk!" Frieza shouted, growling in rage. "Take this!"

Frieza began firing several small lavender ki bullets at Trunks. Trunks allowed all of the blasts to hit him, creating a small explosion. Trunks flew out of the explosion and tried to kick Frieza again, but Frieza nimbly leaped behind Trunks and kicked him in the back, sending him tumbling forward. Trunks stopped and spun around, firing a ki blast at Frieza's chest. Frieza crossed his arms in front of his chest, blocking the attack.

"He's gotten stronger..." Frieza thought as the smoke from the blast floated away. "But he's also gotten a lot slower..."

Frieza floated a few feet away from Trunks, uncrossing his arms from his chest. Both of Frieza's arms had small burn streaks on them from blocking Trunks' ki blast.

"Well, looks like you're not totally invincible," Trunks said shrewdly.

"Good job, Sherlock," Frieza said sarcastically. "You know, while you may have grown stronger from your last transformation, you still have your weaknesses. You've gotten slower. Very much so."

"What's your point?" Trunks asked. "Your transformation made you slower as well."

"I'm faster than you think, Trunks," Frieza said. "And I've just gotten started!"

Frieza flew right at Trunks and threw a punch at him, which Trunks blocked by raising up his arm. Frieza tried to kick Trunks, but Trunks threw up his knee, blocking Frieza's kick. Frieza somersaulted back, away from Trunks.

"What's the matter, Frieza?" Trunks asked. "Even your limbs are slow."

Meanwhile, down below in the town square, nearly half of the town's residents had gathered to watch the fight.

"Trunks is really tough," one of the townspeople said.

"I know! And so strong, too!" a little girl said. "I can barely see his fists!"

Among the people watching the fight were Chris and Chris' mother.

"I've seen Trunks go Super Saiyan before, but this is a new one," Chris said.

"He's so much bigger than before... his muscles are gigantic," Chris' mom replied. "I wonder if he's been taking steroids?"

"Of course not!" Chris yelled. "Trunks has just been training really hard lately..."

"These people are going to get themselves killed!" Trunks thought angrily, looking down at the gathering crowd below.

"What are you looking at?" Frieza asked impatiently. He looked down and saw the people standing around below. "Ah, I see. We'll have to do something about that."

Frieza's hands began to glow dark purple. Trunks gasped in terror.

"No!" Trunks shouted. Frieza began to fire hundreds of tiny ki blasts down at the people below. Trunks flew down and intercepted the ki blasts, smacking all of them harmlessly up into space. "What the heck do you think you're doing?"

"Oh, nothing," Frieza said. "You just seemed a bit distracted, that's all."

Frieza pointed both of his arms downward and fired a large green ball of ki at Trunks, who was floating right above the townspeople. Trunks held out his arms and grabbed the powerful ball of ki, straining to hold it in place.

"Grrr.... Frieza..." Trunks groaned, trying to hold the ball of ki.

"Aw, what's wrong?" Frieza asked mockingly. "The widdle baby monkey can't play with the big ball? Oh, that's too bad."

After some effort, Trunks finally managed to heave the ball back at Frieza. Frieza swerved out of the way, and the ball flew up, right past his head.

"Stop trying to use the townspeople as decoys!" Trunks yelled. "If you had the balls, you'd take this fight out of town, now!"

Frieza chuckled.

"And keep all of these people from watching this incredible battle?" Frieza asked. "I'm sure they paid good money to see it."

"If I don't move the fight out of here, they'll be paying with their lives..." Trunks thought. "Damn that Frieza!"

Trunks growled, then flew up at Frieza. He tried to punch him, but Frieza flew behind Trunks and kicked at him from behind. Trunks spun around and blocked the kick with his arm. The two exchanged a brief flurry of punches and kicks, and then flew back, away from one another.

"Well, Trunks," Frieza said, smiling. "Looks like you won't be defeated easily."

"You should have known that already," Trunks said. "Let's quit talking and finish this!"

Frieza raised up one of his arms and formed a spinning purple energy disc above his arm.

"I used this attack once, and it backfired," Frieza said. "But this time, it will work, because you're too slow to dodge it!"

"What?" Trunks said, looking at the disc. He gasped. "Frieza's going to try and chop me in half..."

"Bingo!" Frieza yelled. He hurled the disc at Trunks. It spun toward him at an incredible speed, and he barely managed to dodge out of the way as it flew past him.

"That was close..." Trunks said, breathing heavily.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Frieza shouted. "Better look behind you!"

Trunks spun around to see the disk flying toward him again, heading straight toward his head. Trunks flew downward, and the disc flew past him. It curved down and flew back at Trunks, who again was just barely able to swerve to the left of the disc as it flew past.

"This is rich!" Frieza shouted. "The big, muscle-bound gorilla has to exert an incredible amount of energy just to dodge a pathetic energy disc!"

Trunks growled. He watched the disc as it swerved back around, headed straight for him.

"I'll have to detransform," Trunks thought to himself. "If I can fly at my top speed, that disc is nothing."

Trunks' muscles shrunk back down to their regular size. His aura shrunk slightly, and his hair receded.

"A normal Super Saiyan again?" Frieza said, smiling. "Well, now he might be fast, but he's weak! I'll just swat the flying chimpanzee out of the sky!"

Frieza flew at Trunks, trying to tackle him into the ground. Trunks nimbly dodged to the side of Frieza and turned back around. The disc Frieza had fired earlier remained in the sky, flying toward Frieza at incredible speed. Frieza smiled.

"Is he some kind of idiot?" Trunks thought. "That disc is going to fly right toward him!"

But as the energy disc got closer and closer to Frieza, he didn't move. The disc slammed right into Frieza's chest. Trunks gasped.

"It's going right through him!" Trunks shouted.

"Think again!" Frieza yelled. As the disc hit him, it bounced right off, flying back and then swerving up, right over Frieza's head and straight toward Trunks. The surprised Trunks was almost to stunned to dodge. He flew to the side, crying out in pain as the disc nicked his left arm, making a large gash. Frieza laughed.

"It was supposed to cut you in half!" Trunks shouted.

"You fool, did you really think I'd let that happen again?" Frieza said, smiling at Trunks. "I worked on that attack in the underworld too. Now when it hits me, it bounces harmlessly off. Then, it flies back, toward you! Bwahahaha!"

Trunks was about to say something, but stopped when he heard the disc coming toward him again. He flew down to the roof of one of the town's buildings, letting the disc pass harmlessly over his head.

"Stop this foolishness!" Trunks shouted angrily.

"Foolishness?" Frieza said indignantly. "It's my attack, you stupid monkey! And I can see that you're too fast to let it hit you. So..."

Frieza waved his arm. The energy disc stopped, right in front of him.

"What does he think he's doing?" Trunks thought. Suddenly, a terrible thought crossed his mind. "Oh no..."

"I think I'll just have a bit of fun," Frieza said. "Like this!"

The disc flew downward and swerved toward the townspeople, who began running as the deadly energy disc flew toward them. Trunks zoomed off of the roof of the building he was standing on and flew right in the energy disc's path.

"Here goes nothing!" Trunks shouted.

Trunks' muscles swelled up again, and he transformed back into an Ultimate Super Saiyan. Right as the disc was about to decapitate a group of fleeing townspeople, Trunks placed his hands in front of it and fired a huge, golden, sphere-shaped blast. The ball of energy swelled up. The energy disc pressed up against it, but wasn't able to cut through the energy ball. It was stuck in place.

"What?" Frieza shouted. "No!"

Trunks began to be pushed back as the energy disc continued to press up against his ki blast.

"I can't... hold it... any longer.... argh!"

The energy disc sliced right through the energy ball and dissipated it. The disc spun right into Trunks' outstretched palms. It began to cut into them, but Trunks held his ground, using his own hands to hold the energy disc in place. He grabbed the disc in his hands and flung it back toward Frieza.

"Whew..." Trunks breathed, looking down at his palms, which now had large gashes in them.

"Well," Frieza said, putting out his hands and stopping the disc, making it spin in place in front of him again. "Looks like I just need a bigger disc."

Trunks' energy aura flared up. He growled in rage.

"YOU HAVE ATTACKED THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR THE LAST TIME!" Trunks shouted. Frieza raised up his arms, causing the disc to grow three times larger.

"Take this, you idiotic monkey!" Frieza shouted. The huge energy disc flew at Trunks. Trunks flew right in front of the disc and pointed his arms at it.

"No, YOU take THIS!" Trunks yelled. He fired a huge ki blast, disintegrating the energy disc. Frieza gasped.

"How did you do that?" Frieza shouted. "My Enhanjo blasts are impossible to destroy!"

"Shut up," Trunks said. He flew at Frieza and punched him right in the stomach. Frieza lurched forward, coughing up a stream and blood.

"Damn... Saiyan... monkey..." Frieza choked out, slowly floating back away from Trunks. Trunks flew up and kicked Frieza in the back, sending him plummeting to the ground.

"What am I?" Trunks asked. Frieza spun around and growled at Trunks.

"You want to take this fight out of the town?" Frieza shouted angrily.

Trunks' eyes grew wide in a shocked expression.

"Then I'll take the town out of the fight!" Frieza yelled. He pointed his arm at the town and began charging a ki blast.

"No! No!" Trunks yelled. "Frieza!"

Trunks flew toward Frieza, but the Ultimate Super Saiyan quickly saw that he would be too late to stop Frieza.

"Everyone, run! Run away from the town!" Trunks shouted desperately, as loud as he could. The townspeople immediately heeded his warning, exiting the town in droves. Many that were still in their dwellings quickly evacuated them and also fled, running for the town entrance. Frieza fired a huge blast toward the town, but it headed town the town slowly, as if Frieza was waiting for something.

"If you want to save the townspeople, you'd better hurry!" Frieza shouted. Trunks flew past Frieza and zoomed in front of the large, glowing ball of ki, trying to hold it back.

"It's... it's... it's too big!" Trunks shouted. "I can't... push it back!"

Trunks turned his head toward the town. Most of the people had managed to escape, including Chris and his mother. Trunks turned his head back toward the ki ball.

"I only have to hold it back a bit more..." Trunks thought. The blast pushed him to the ground, but Trunks continued to hold it back as the last few people escaped.

"Trunks, you look like a fool standing there like that!" Frieza shouted. "You're pathetic!"

Frieza pointed his hand at the ki ball and Trunks, who was still struggling to hold it back.

"I think... I can push it... away..." Trunks said, starting to charge a ki blast of his own. "I can save the people's homes too..."

Just then, another large blast flew at Trunks. Trunks gasped.

"Darn it!" Trunks yelled. "I'm sorry, everyone..."

Trunks flew up out of the way of Frieza's next blast, flying up into the air. The townspeople, who were now standing a safe distance away from their beloved town, gasped as Frieza's two blasts slammed into the town, creating a huge, purple explosion. The blast ripped through the town, disintegrating all of the buildings in it. The huge dome-shaped explosion made by the blast continued to expand. The only building not touched by the blast was the small chapel about a quarter of a mile from the town. The townspeople got down on the ground and covered their heads to shield themselves from the debris. Finally, the explosion settled. Where the town had once stood, there was now a giant crater. Trunks floated down toward the crater to survey the damage.

"It's all gone..." Trunks said. "The town that these people were still rebuilding... it's all gone..."

"Sad, isn't it?" Frieza said mockingly, floating over to Trunks. "Well, now the town's out of the way. Too bad everyone escaped, through."

Trunks clenched his fists angrily.

"You evil, sick bastard..." Trunks growled through clenched teeth. "You destroyed all of these people's homes! Their possessions! Their livelihoods! All gone!"

Trunks' ki aura flared up yet again.

"I'm going to attack you once more," Trunks said. "And I won't stop attacking until you're dead, Frieza!"

Within an instant, Trunks was immediately on Frieza, brutally pummeling him with a quick flurry of punches and kicks. Frieza's body immediately became spotted with bruises. He tried to get away from Trunks, but Trunks struck again with a deadly kick to the top of Frieza's head, sending him plummeting to the ground. He slammed into the ground with incredible force, sending dust into the air.

"Take this!" Trunks shouted.

Not giving Frieza any chance to recover, Trunks fired hundreds of golden beams of ki at the fallen Frieza, creating a large explosion that grew bigger and bigger as more blasts were added. The shocked townspeople watched in amazement.

"Get him!" Chris shouted. "That'll teach that monster to blow up our house!"

Next to Chris stood his mother, who had her head in her hands, crying.

"Even if Trunks destroys that monster Frieza, it won't rebuild our town..." Chris' mother sobbed.

"Mom...." Chris said quietly, trying to comfort her.

Trunks finally stopped his barrage of blasts. He peered into the huge column of dust that was left, breathing heavily.

"That... did it..." Trunks said. The dust cleared. A badly burned and bruised Frieza floated up out of the large blast crater and flew toward Trunks.

"No Saiyan monkey will EVER defeat me!" Frieza shouted. Trunks shouted out angrily, then fired a large ki blast at Frieza. The blast slammed into Frieza, knocking him back, but not destroying him.

"Why won't you die?" Trunks yelled in frustration. Frieza floated up and faced Trunks.

"You won't beat me again!" Frieza shouted. He lunged at Trunks, but Trunks ducked under Frieza's chest and flew back up, headbutting Frieza and knocking him into the air.

"Ka....me..." Trunks said, pulling back his arms to fire at the ascending Frieza. "Ha...me..."

Frieza stopped in his tracks and growled. He was now floating a great distance up in the air.

"If he fires that blast and hits me, I'll be.... no," Frieza thought. "I won't lose to that monkey!"

Frieza turned his head to the side. Suddenly, something caught his eye. He smiled. His incredible eyesight caught a small dwelling off in the distance. Standing outside, kneeling over to plant something in the ground, was Ami. Frieza recognized her immediately.

"That's Trunks' female friend..." Frieza thought. "Trunks doesn't want her involved in our fight. But if I can get her involved somehow, I'll have the advantage!"

Without saying a word, Frieza turned around and zoomed off toward the Briefs' home.

"Huh?" Trunks said, stopping the Kamehameha attack and turning around to watch Frieza's flight. "Frieza flew off... but...."

Trunks gasped.

"Damn it, no!" Trunks shouted. "He's going to my house! Grrr... you dirty fiend!"

Trunks zoomed off, hoping to catch Frieza before he reached his mother... and Ami.

---

Meanwhile, just outside the Briefs' house...

"There we go," Ami said, packing a small amount of dirt on the ground.

"Planting those flower seeds I gave you, hmmm?" Bulma said, stepping outside to check on Ami's progress. "I really hope they'll grow out here..."

"I hope so too," Ami said. "Mrs. Briefs, how are you doing on that device to send me back home?"

"I've tried a few new wires, but still nothing," Bulma said. "I really think I'm getting closer, though!"

"I see..." Ami said. She looked up and noticed a small dot, flying toward them. "Who's that?"

"It looks like Trunks," Bulma said. "Wait... no... that isn't Trunks... I can feel some energy... evil energy!"

Bulma gasped.

"Do you think it could be... Frieza?" Ami asked.

"I hope not," Bulma said. "Oh, I sure hope that it isn't... Frieza..."

---

That dirty Frieza, he never quits, does he? Now he's going after poor defenseless Bulma and Ami-chan! Trunks better hurry.... and you guys better review! ^_^
