Ginyu's life is spared, as he can cause no more trouble, and Vegeta takes Goku to a regeneration tank, and has a short sleep. In that time, Gohan, Krillen, and Dende find the Dragonballs, then wish back Piccolo. Their second wish is for Piccolo to be transported to Namek. It seems that it has worked, but he is no where near them. Before their final wish can be made, Vegeta bursts out of the medical bay, and finds the dragon. He demands that they ask for Vegeta to be given immortality, and as the dragon only grants wishes when asked in Namekian, Dende must ask. Eventually Krillen gives the go ahead for it to happen, as they have no chance against Frieza otherwise. Before the wish can be made though, the dragon disappears, signalling the death of its creator - Guru, due to a broken heart. Frieza then arrives, and intimidates everyone.
Vegeta manages to equal the first form Frieza in terms of power, but when Frieza transforms, it looks like everything is over, until Piccolo arrives on the scene. He had found a Namek called Nail on the way, and fused with him, becoming far more powerful than before. He manages to beat Frieza, making him transform once again. In his third form, Frieza easily beats up Piccolo, angering Gohan so much that he launches a huge masenko at the evil tyrant, coming close to killing him. Frieza manages to block the blast, although barely, and decides to transform again, this time into his final form. Once he accomplishes this, he kills Dende, the healing Namek, but not before everyone's health is rejuvenated. He then kills Vegeta, and the Saiyan prince thought that he was a Super Saiyan. Before Frieza kills anyone else though, Goku arrives on the scene.
It is an even fight between Goku and Frieza, until Frieza decides to go from 1% of his power, to 50%, giving him a distinct advantage. Despite this though, Goku manages to build up a truly huge galaxy Spirit Bomb, with the help of Piccolo's distraction tactics. He then threw it at Frieza, seemingly killing him. Somehow, Frieza survived it, and shot a beam at Goku, with Piccolo diving in the way to save him, and becoming injured badly. Frieza then kills Krillen for no reason, causing Goku to be overtaken with anger. His hair turns blonde, and his eyes turn green, as he finally becomes a Super Saiyan. He beats Frieza to a pulp, before the evil one tries to destroy the planet. He holds too much energy back though and was unable to destroy it outright, and says that there will be five minutes until it explodes. He then uses 100% of his power, and the fight becomes fairly even. Goku manages to gain an advantage though, and easily defeats everyone.
On Earth, the dragonballs are used to resurrect everyone killed by Frieza. This brung back the Namek Dragonballs, and with them, they wished everyone back to Earth, other than Goku and Frieza.
Goku managed to defeat Frieza, and tried to leave, but the evil one threw two cutting discs at him. It resulted in Frieza being cut in half by his own attack. Goku gave him enough energy to leave the planet, but Frieza used it to try and kill Goku. It didn't work though, as the Saiyan sent a counterblast, hitting Frieza, and seemingly killing him once and for all. He then tries to escape the planet, but it explodes before he can find a functioning ship.or so it seemed.
