Piccolo is beating Frieza, but the evil tyrant has another trick up his sleeve: another transformation. He changes into an even more hideous beast, with his head getting bigger, his bodily armor taking the shape of a regular battle armor, and his body growing spikes. In this form, Frieza is even more powerful than before. Piccolo begins to fight the new Frieza, but it is clear that Frieza is more powerful. Piccolo is no longer able to hold him off, and soon enough, Frieza starts firing his rapid-energy bullets at the Super Namekian. Overcome by his rage once more, Gohan races to Piccolo's rescue.
