As Turles silently floated through the vast expanse of space, the passage of time became an abstract concept, measured not in days or weeks, but in the ebb and flow of cosmic energy. Encased within an impenetrable energy barrier, he image trained. With each passing moment, Turles repeatedly fought against Golden Frieza at the peak of his power. Surrounded by the ethereal glow of starlight, he surrendered himself to the primal forces that pulsed and thrummed through the fabric of reality.
Holding his breath in a state of deep meditation, Turles became one with the stellar energy that enveloped him, his very essence suffused with the radiant energy of a singular sun. Through sheer force of will, he sought to fully integrate this celestial power into his own being, to transcend the limitations of mortal flesh and ascend to a higher state. As time stretched on, Turles remained steadfast in his pursuit of rebirth, his unwavering determination serving as a beacon of unbridled power amidst the vast emptiness of space. With each passing moment, he felt himself drawing closer to the ultimate realization of his power. His energy aura was ablaze with the fiery intensity of a sinister supernova.
However, while image training, Turles was using not this new state of being after devouring a sun. But a mixture of forms to tackle Frieza. In their first battle, he fought against Golden Frieza using the regular super saiyan line. He stood face to face with a smirking Golden Frieza as he smirked back as a Super Saiyan 3.
Turles was interested in knowing if Super Saiyan 3 could be mastered the same way as the first form. Significantly reducing the energy drain of the form and allowing maximum strength for far longer. However, it would be pointless for him. He would not use the form after acquiring Super Saiyan 4.
A form he personally believed was the true progression of the Saiyan bloodline. It even gave him other thoughts to develop beyond Super Saiyan 4. If a Super Saiyan 4 was the result of a Great Ape going Super Saiyan… What if a Great Ape went Super Saiyan 2? Would that create Super Saiyan 5?
As Turles was getting the shit beat out of him for the first half of his fight with imaginary Golden Frieza, he couldn’t help but smile. He couldn’t wait to perform some further tests with his half-blood children. The Saiyan DNA was simply too adaptable. There was the regular path with just Super Saiyan, the Super Saiyan 4 path, the divine path through the ritual or god ki, Gohan’s unknown path with unlocked potential and Beast, his reckless son’s combination of Kaio-ken and Super Saiyan, Trunk’s strange rage form which may have combined incomplete mastery of god ki and Super Saiyan, there was Zamasu’s rose path due to him being a god, the legendary Super Saiyan slightly altered path, the altered Super Saiyan forms when body-snatched like Baby, and even more that Turles plans to experiment with.
But for now, he would simply continue his training. Super Saiyan 3 was insufficient to defeat Golden Frieza smoothly. An even stronger Golden Frieza than normal. Even with his superior base power empowered from devouring so many Fruits of Might, it wasn’t enough to cleanly defeat Frieza. He had to rely on the wishes he’d made so far to win.
So far, Turles has made five wishes on three different dragons. Immortality, immunity to magic, a portable modified Hyperbolic Time Chamber, ki with the additional property of promoting life that he could control at will, and lastly, infinite energy. By relying on his immortality and infinite energy, Turles could simply exhaust Golden Frieza to death. Finishing him with a modified Dragon Fist through the stomach that exploded with enough force to destroy a solar system.
Turles did count that as both a win and a loss. While he wasn’t bothered using underhanded means to win a fight despite being a Saiyan, at his core, he was a pragmatic and resourceful person. There was nothing wrong with using every means at his disposal for victory. However, in image training, cheating was pointless. Image training was for sharpening his fighting skills and learning more about oneself.
At least, that was how Turles utilized it. All in all, Super Saiyan 3 was not equipped to fight Golden Frieza unless he wanted to stupidly reveal his immortality and infinite energy. So, after losing and winning against Golden Frieza’s absurd power, he shifted to Super Saiyan 4. Now, the fight was much cleaner and closer.
Turles and Frieza didn’t bother using any ki blasts as they fought. This was a straight-up brawl between the two competing Emperors of the Universe. Surprisingly, Turles did not overwhelm Golden Frieza in power or combat skills. As Turles threw out several attacks, all within the span of one attack, Frieza was more than capable of responding to each and every one.
It seems training with the Ginyu Force, Nappa, Raditz, Zarbon, Dodoria, and possibly even Abo and Kado has truly done wonders for the Frost Demon. Turles expected to dominate in at least this area, but Frieza’s talent wasn’t one to be underestimated. The two of them continued their battle on the now-destroyed Planet Prime until their fight grew to the point where the planet could not withstand their power. Frieza plunged his fist deep into Turles’s gut, and Turles followed along with Frieza’s punch.
He formed a barrier around himself as he went soaring through space until he landed on a planet with a suitable breathing atmosphere. In these imaginary fights, he fought with the mindset as if they were in reality. Although Turles would do fine in space with his immortality, there was no reason to expose that to Frieza. Frieza followed him to the new planet, of course. He wouldn’t be satisfied until he personally killed Turles with his own hands. A fact that Turles knew oh too well.
He crawled on all fours when Frieza arrived, his body shaking, barely able to keep himself from falling to the ground. He looked up at Frieza with humiliation and frustration in his eyes. Holding his hand out, seemingly begging for Frieza to spare him. The former Emperor of the Universe couldn’t help himself from monologuing as he walked over to Turles with unrestrained malicious joy flowing from every aspect of his demeanor.
Standing over Turles, Frieza's voice drips with venomous superiority, each word laced with icy disdain. “Now, this is a fitting state for you, monkey. How delightful it is to see you reduced to such a pitiful appearance. Crawling on all fours like the lowly creature you are, begging for mercy from the one you dared to challenge. It's almost poetic, wouldn't you agree?” He smirks cruelly, relishing in Turles's vulnerability.
“You thought yourself worthy of standing toe-to-toe with me, the Emperor of the Universe. But alas, reality proved your ambitions were as ridiculous as ever. Did you truly believe you could surpass the likes of me? A monkey should stay in a monkey’s place.” His laughter echoes across the desolate landscape, a chilling symphony of derision.
“You see, Turles, arrogance alone is not enough to rule the cosmos. It takes birthright, power, and a ruthlessness unmatched by any other. These qualities that you, it seems, sorely lack. You may have achieved some semblance of strength, but you will never possess the true essence of power, no matter how many times you come close to death. I will always be superior.” He circles Turles, his gaze cold and calculating. “And now, as I stand victorious over you, I can't help but revel in the sweet taste of triumph. To witness your downfall, to see the arrogance stripped away from your wretched form, it fills me with an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.” With a final contemptuous sneer, Frieza delivers his ultimate declaration.
“Remember this moment well when you’re in Hell, monkey, for it shall serve as an eternal reminder of your failure. You are nothing and always will be nothing. The universe won’t even remember you in a few years if I have anything to say about it. And as for me, I shall reign supreme for all eternity. I wonder if you regret reviving me from Hell now?” Frieza laughed as he raised his finger.
“Fool.” Turles couldn't help but state.
He suddenly blasted Frieza with a one-handed Calamity Blaster as he stood up. ‘The #1 downfall of most successful villains. They can’t keep their mouth shut and finish the job.’ Turles thought to himself as he teleported behind Frieza.
Frieza was still acknowledging the fact that he’d been tricked and the simian was not on his deathbed like he thought. But most importantly, he called him a fool! How dare he?! With a scream, Frieza hefted the energy wave upward.
Only for Turles to appear behind him, cracking him across the side of the head with his elbow. Frieza’s brain rattled inside his skull as Turles followed up with a knee to the midsection and a low kick to the front shin. With electricity zapping from his hand, Turles impaled his hand through Golden Frieza’s vulnerable chest. However, he knew this wouldn’t be enough for the resilient mutant.
Turles directly gripped his heart, crushing it to a pulp, ripping his arm out, smashing Frieza’s skull downward, and finishing him off with a Kill Driver. Looking down, seeing no trace of Frieza, Turles began to go over the battle in his mind. Wondering if he could have won even without relying on his trick near the end. He certainly could’ve outlasted Golden Frieza without revealing his immortality.
Frieza would have had some suspicions about why he still had so much strength this late into the fight, but that’s negligent when compared to the secret of immortality. Alright, it was time to test his Evil Saiyan form. When his original self was revealed to have gained this form, he could battle with Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta even without stacking it with further Saiyan forms. He was looking forward to this…
