Frieza.

"Make like a tree... get it? Leaf! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

King Kai lost it then, bawling out a veritable hurricane of laughter,
nearly rolling around on the ground in mirth.

"Eh?" Goku offered.

"Huh?" James commented.

The two fighters looked at one another, each sporting a sweatdrop the
size of a fist hanging from their wild black hair.


                                Comedy,


"I got him!" Butterup shouted, flanking left at top speed. Bubbles
mirrored her movements on the other side, both locking their eyes on to
the enemy.

"You're going down!!!" Blossom scremed, unleashing a massive dark blue
energy blast towards Frieza.

The galactic ruler smirked, de-rezzing just as the blast came in front
of him and rematerializing behind the two attackers. The smrik vanished
as he found himself not behind, but between the two girls. A blue blur
and a green blur crossed in front of him, moving too fast for even his
eyes to follow. He prepared two follow-up blasts, small grenades of ki
forming in his palms just as he realized the real attacker had slipped
from his awareness.

Frieza's eyes bugged out as a pair of tiny shoes slammed into the back
of his skull. Like a purple commet, he was flung into the ground,
plowing a nice new twenty-foot-wide ditch across several islands and
well into the distance.

"Huhmp. Talk is cheap." Buttercup said, crossing her arms arrogantly.


                     Not necessarily in that order.


"I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL FIRST!!!" Frieza shouted, both hands raised
above his head. Suddenly, a ball of ki began forming, growing larger and
larger until enough raw power radiated from it to shake Namek right to
it's core.

"He's gonna kill us!" Goku shouted, landing and bracing himself.

"He's gonna kill more than us with that!" James retorted, digging his
feet in. The girls remained afloat, but covered their eyes from the wind
that Frieza's latest charge-up was generating.

"Kamehame-ha Wave!" Goku yelled. In unison, the five fighters cocked
their hands down by their hips and began chanting, five globes of pure
white energy growing between their hands to the brilliance that might
match even the sun.

"KAMEHEME-HAAAAAA!!!" They yelled, with Goku leading the charge. Frieza
threw his hands down, the massive ball of explosive ki following half an
instant later. The five countering blasts from the planetary defenders
rose to meet it, merging into a single shield of white energy that
cackled and roared like a bonfire when it hit Frieza's blast.


                       Twelve Steps from Nowhere


James stopped a few feet from the girls, his grin now radiating malice.

"And now for the first step in your training... dislocate your left ring
finger."

Blossom immediately yanked off a shoe and sock and peered intently at
her toes. "Which one?"
