“Oh, that was just a little greeting on my part.” Freeza's voice now sounded deeper, but had lost none of its dark charm. His tone had only adapted to his new appearance: menacing, powerful and even more exalted than in his 'preserved' form.
Like a true devil, he stands with his arms folded in front of his chest on the small patch of earth left by his display of power and focuses on the three hovering fighters (or rather four, if he counts this little Namekian) a few meters away from him. And even though they are so far away, the transformed emperor can judge every single facial expression perfectly, and it's even better than he could have imagined! Pure despair, fear, hopelessness are in the atmosphere. Even Vegeta, an experienced elite warrior, recoils from his presence, and the dread sovereign hasn't even started yet.
“Very well... which of you shall be the first to experience my revenge and die?” He has four to choose from, but only one will be the first to meet his death, the only question is who?
He closes his scarlet eyes thoughtfully, pensively but with a smirk on his lips. An even more oppressive mood spreads. All the rebellious spectators know that they cannot escape his clutches. Perhaps they would have an advantage if they split up, but sooner or later Freeza would get each and every one of them. Trapped here on this planet, with no means of escape and the emperor's deadly sentence breathing down their necks, which he personally administers...
More seconds of stifling silence pass before the diabolical prominence opens its eyes again.
“My choice is YOU!” With a powerful, immense leap and yet elegant spin, he executes a fatal attack. He uses his horns, which are pointed upwards in his second form, as deadly weapons.
The earthling, who was still holding on to the little Namekian, heroically pushes him away but is unable to dodge in time.
“KRILLIN!” Gohan's voice screams in panic to his friend and Vegeta is frozen.
One of the obsidian lances had easily pierced through the armor and protruded over the bald fighter's back.
A lower life form impaled by the most powerful creature in the universe. A death that no one could have foreseen, except Freeza.
“I warned you that I could not control my power in this form, ohoho!” He watches out of the corner of his eye as the red lifeblood trickles down the length of his horn. With sadistic relish, he licks the corner of his mouth with his purple tongue to catch the drops of blood.
The perforated earthling tries to defend himself and attempts an attack with his knee, which is easily blocked.
“Should you not try to beg for mercy instead, little worm?” The gigantic devil reacts mockingly and amusedly to this insignificant resistance and even when his friend tries to rush to his rescue and launches a direct attack with his body, Freeza fends it off with a lashing swipe of his massive tail.
“Oh, you will get your turn soon enough, have some patience.” More amused words mark his sadistic character, before he rears his head more and the horn bores even more into the existing wound and this little act he performed is rewarded with an agonized cry.
But Freeza is still not done with his current prey. No, he wants his revenge, which will be underwritten by pure terror.
How dare they stop him from his desire for immortality! Inferior vermins who tricked him?! On top of that, this simian of an elite warrior has denounced himself as a traitor. Admittedly Freeza had never trusted Vegeta, it was only a matter of time before he would rebel but...here on Namek it was the most inopportune time of all! All the more reason why he would show no mercy to anyone present, even if they would beg.
“I am surprised you have not passed out yet from the blood loss...maybe we can hasten that a bit.” And although Freeza is seething with rage on the inside, on the outside he remains very calm and even anticipatory, as he is about to inflict sheer terror. It doesn't redeem his thwarted wish, but at least it gives him some gratification for the moment.
The horned behemoth begins to rock his head to and fro, causing the sanguine fluid to disperse throughout the atmosphere. A scarlet bloody picture of abomination and atrocity, what the ruler of the universe performs there is no understatement.
Krillin's blood even splatters into the face of his little friend, who can only stand and watch, paralyzed. Vegeta is not spared either and witnesses this absolute savagery.
He would never have thought that Freeza was capable of such a thing.
And the spectacle lasts several minutes and he can watch closely as the light of life in the eyes of the almost pitiful Earthling warrior fades more and more.
Finally, when he has fainted and Freeza is sure that he will succumb to this injury, he simply tosses him into the water.
“Well? Shall we carry on? The fun cannot be over so soon, Ohohoho!”
@reptile--queen giving you that supreme cruelity 💜
