Namek's sky is wrong.
Green clouds churn like infected lungs.
Villages burn.
The Ginyu Force... battered but alive, limp through settlements, slaughtering Namekian warriors and forcing elders to reveal Dragon Ball locations.
Recoome laughs through broken teeth.
Jeice bleeds from one eye.
Burter's arm hangs useless.
Ginyu's armor is cracked.
But they are still monsters.
A Namekian child screams.
Dura arrives first.
He sees the bodies.
Something inside him goes quiet.
Not rage.
Not yet.
Just… finality.
"This time," he says softly, "you die."
Burter attacks first... desperate speed blitz.
Dura catches him mid-dash.
Snaps his neck.
No hesitation.
Jeice fires a panicked Crusher Ball.
Dura walks through it.
Grabs his face.
Slams him into the ground so hard the planet trembles.
Recoome charges screaming.
Dura lets the green aura leak.
First stage Legendary.
Hair darkens with emerald highlights.
Eyes glow faintly.
One punch.
Recoome's chest caves in.
Silence.
Only Ginyu remains.
Bleeding.
Terrified.
He tries Body Change,
But Dura learned.
He releases a pulse of raw Legendary aura that distorts space itself.
The technique shatters before forming.
Ginyu falls to his knees.
"You're not a Saiyan… you're a devil…"
Dura lifts him by the throat.
"For Namek."
He crushes it.
No mercy.
The earth drinks Ginyu's blood.
On the other side of Namek.
Frieza watches from his ship.
Tail swaying.
"So the mutation has teeth."
He stands.
Energy radiates off him like radiation.
"Good."
Outside Frieza's ship
Goku, Krillin, and Vegeta battle Zarbon and Dodoria.
Vegeta has been… smiling too much.
Something feels wrong.
Dodoria falls.
Zarbon retreats.
Krillin rushes to help Goku.
And that's when
Vegeta moves.
His aura explodes violently.
His tail bristles.
But he does not transform into a Great Ape.
Instead
His muscles expand slightly.
Veins darken.
His eyes glow gold-brown.
He has accessed Oozaru power in humanoid form.
Controlled Great Ape State.
His power multiplies monstrously.
Before Goku can react...
Vegeta blasts Krillin through the chest.
Krillin collapses.
Goku screams.
Vegeta smirks.
"Sentiment makes you weak Kakarot ."
He vanishes.
Leaving Krillin barely alive.
Goku sees all this...
Krillin's fading pulse.
The smell of blood.
The betrayal.
Something inside Goku breaks.
The sky darkens.
Lightning crawls across the clouds.
His scream tears through Namek's atmosphere.
Golden light erupts.
Hair lifts.
Eyes sharpen.
The planet trembles.
Super Saiyan.
Not calm.
Not controlled.
Furious.
Watching from a distance,
Dura remembers his mother's voice.
"The royal line survives by betrayal. Never forget. They devour their own before enemies ever need to."
He closes his eyes briefly.
"…She was right."
Frieza seeing this.. descends silently.
Attempts to impale Goku mid-rage,
But a green blur intercepts.
Dura.
He ignites controlled Legendary output.
x35 surge.
Power skyrockets.
He matches Frieza's suppressed fourth form.
The shockwave cracks Namek's oceans.
Frieza smiles thinly.
"Oh… how delightful."
He kicks Dura across continents.
Then rises into the sky.
"I suppose I should stop playing."
Bones snap.
Skin fractures.
Energy implodes inward.
Then explodes outward.
His body elongates.
Armor plates sharpen.
Halo of white-gold light forms behind him.
The air dies.
Power reading spikes beyond comprehension.
He has ascended again.
The atmosphere ignites.
Dura stares.
"…He was holding back that much?"
Frieza looks down at them like insects.
"Now we begin."
Amid the chaos...
Vegeta attacks Goku from behind.
Blasts him through a mountain.
Laughs.
"I'll let you exhaust him for me."
He flees Namek in a stolen pod.
Destination:
A primitive, life-rich world.
Nappa waits.
Turles stands beside a strange seed
Frieza moves.
Too fast.
He backhands Dura through a plateau.
Breaks Goku's guard with one finger.
They regroup.
Golden aura. Emerald storm.
Super Saiyan x50. Legendary Stage One x350.
They charge together.
The collision splits the sea.
But Frieza does not budge.
He grabs Goku by the face. Slams him into Dura.
Breaks Dura's ribs with a tail strike.
The horror is not loud.
It's quiet inevitability.
Every punch they land barely moves him.
Every strike from him feels fatal.
Namek begins destabilizing.
Frieza floats untouched amid devastation.
"You're stronger than before," he says calmly.
"But you are still children."
Goku wipes blood from his mouth.
Dura forces himself upright.
Green aura flaring wildly now.
Unstable.
Dangerous.
Frieza raises one hand.
A star-like sphere forms.
Not rushed.
Not strained.
Casual extinction.
The uphill battle has only begun.
Earth
Wind through trees.
The forest house Kami created stands quiet under the moon.
Inside
Miru freezes mid-step.
Five years old.
Teal skin faintly glowing.
Black hair wild.
Tail twitching.
His pupils narrow.
Far away.
So far it should be impossible.
But he feels it.
His father's aura.
Not just power.
Pain.
Rage.
Struggle.
Miru clutches his chest.
Green sparks flicker around him, instinctive ki forming and vanishing.
"Dad!! …"
The air around him bends slightly.
Windows rattle.
He turns toward his mother's room
And then..
A violent distortion tears open the sky above West City.
A machine descends in a column of blue-white lightning.
Capsule Corp alarms begin blaring.
Bulma runs outside.
Chi-Chi gasps.
Gohan hides behind Goku's old staff set on the wall.
Piccolo opens one eye from meditation.
Kami feels it instantly.
"Another anomaly…"
The pod door hisses open.
A young man steps out.
Lavender hair.
Sword strapped to his back.
Eyes hardened by loss.
Trunks.
He scans the group.
Sees Miru.
Pauses... sensing something ancient and terrifying beneath the child's calm surface.
Then he speaks.
"I'm not here to fight you."
Everyone tenses.
"I came to warn you."
They gather at Capsule Corp.
Trunks speaks quietly.
"Three years from now… two androids will appear."
His voice shakes slightly.
"They slaughter the Z Fighters. One by one."
Bulma goes pale.
Yamcha grips his fists.
Miru listens silently.
Trunks continues.
"They're not like Frieza. Not conquerors. Not tyrants."
He swallows.
"They don't care about ruling. They only care about killing."
Piccolo narrows his eyes.
"And you are?"
"I'm Bulma's son… from the future."
Silence.
Then Bulma whispers:
"…What?"
Miru's gaze shifts.
He's not focused on Trunks.
He's listening to something else.
Still.
Far away.
A scream that isn't heard.
Only felt.
The sky fractures.
Seas churn violently.
Frieza's power is destabilizing the planet.
Villages evacuate.
Elder Guru trembles but remains composed.
The Namekians gather.
Porunga is summoned.
Massive.
Ancient.
Majestic.
Goku rushes to Guru.
"We need the same wishes as before," he says urgently.
"Move everyone except me and Frieza to Earth. Restore those killed."
Guru nods weakly.
"It shall be done…"
Porunga's eyes ignite.
One by one..
Namekians vanish in pillars of light.
Tension coils tighter.
Because Frieza is still there.
Watching.
Smiling.
Dura stands bloodied.
Bones fractured.
Aura unstable.
Frieza hovers above them like a god of extinction.
Goku struggles to stay upright in Super Saiyan.
Their combined assault barely forced Frieza to take a step back.
That's all.
One step.
Frieza tilts his head.
"Is that your limit?"
Dura's breathing changes.
Something inside him shifts.
Not rage.
Not yet.
Instinct.
The Legendary bloodline answers threat with evolution.
His green aura darkens.
Deepens.
Thickens like molten energy.
Muscle mass expands further.
Eyes lose focus.
Pupils thin into predatory slits.
Power spikes violently.
His base trembles.
12 million…
18 million…
40 million…
His Stage One multiplier destabilizes—
350x fractures
Energy surges past control.
Stage Two begins forcing itself open.
Goku senses it.
"Dura… wait.... !"
A shockwave sends Goku tumbling.
The air compresses.
The ocean below parts.
Dura roars..
Not like a warrior.
Like a beast.
Hair flares wilder, longer.
Aura becomes a raging emerald inferno.
Lightning cracks through it.
His mind begins slipping.
Fragments of memory flash
His mother's warning..
Miru's small hands.
Mia's smile.
All fading behind primal instinct.
Power skyrockets further.
80 million.
120 million.
Climbing.
Frieza's smile falters slightly.
"…Now this is interesting."
Dura vanishes.
Reappears above Frieza.
Punch lands.
For the first time...
Frieza is driven into the ground.
The impact fractures continents.
But Dura doesn't stop.
He continues.
Strike after strike.
Too fast.
Too feral.
Frieza blocks then counters... tail pierces Dura's side
Dura doesn't react.
He keeps attacking.
The horror shifts.
Now it isn't Frieza who feels inevitable.
It's Dura.
Uncontrolled.
Overloading.
The planet trembles harder.
Frieza wipes blood from his lip.
"…You'll destroy yourself before you defeat me."
Dura's roar shakes the atmosphere.
Power spikes again.
But cracks begin forming across his aura.
Instability.
If he pushes further...
He might burn out entirely.
Or explode.
Back on Earth..
Miru suddenly falls to one knee.
Green lightning flickers around him.
Piccolo feels it from miles away.
"Impossible…"
The child whispers:
"He's losing himself…"
Trunks stares.
"…What is that kid?"
Kami watches the horizon.
And for the first time
He worries.
