[Planet Namek - Near Elder Guru's Village]
The atmosphere on Namek grew heavier.
Rayuga stood atop a rocky outcrop, arms folded, his silver hair fluttering slightly with the breeze.
Behind him were Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan, Bulma, Chichi, Akiko holding baby Gohan, and several Namekian villagers. They had just witnessed Rayuga easily defeat Zarbon and Dodoria, and although Frieza hadn't arrived yet, the tension was unbearable.
Suddenly—
A loud mechanical hum echoed through the air.
BOOM!
Five pods crashed into the ground not far from their location, sending tremors across the plains.
The group tensed immediately.
Vegeta's expression darkened. "They're here..."
Rayuga narrowed his eyes.
He recognized that feeling — a disgusting, chaotic energy.
The unmistakable arrogance of the Ginyu Force.
---
[The Ginyu Force Appears!]
The dust settled, revealing five bizarre figures:
A purple, frog-like leader with a scouter — Captain Ginyu.
A tall, blue warrior with white hair — Burter, "the fastest in the universe."
A short, red-skinned fighter flexing exaggeratedly — Jeice.
A massive green brute with a thick helmet — Recoome.
A short, strange one spinning on his head — Guldo.
They struck their iconic, ridiculous poses.
"Ginyu Force! Ready for battle!!" they chorused.
The Z Fighters looked... extremely unimpressed.
Krillin deadpanned, whispering, "...Is this some kind of circus troupe?"
Bulma whispered back, "Honestly... they're just weird."
Even Goku scratched his head awkwardly.
But Rayuga's expression didn't change.
He wasn't amused.
He wasn't impressed.
He was simply... calculating.
---
[Captain Ginyu Steps Forward]
Captain Ginyu smirked arrogantly.
"So, you're the Earth warriors I heard about? Hmph! Weaklings," he sneered.
Then his eyes landed on Rayuga.
He immediately froze.
Danger.
His instincts screamed it.
Captain Ginyu, despite his ego, was a seasoned warrior.
He recognized real threat when he saw it.
This guy… is different.
Still, pride made him step forward.
"I don't know who you are, silver-hair," Ginyu said, spitting at the ground, "but you're about to regret standing against Lord Frieza!"
Rayuga simply raised an eyebrow.
"Talk is cheap."

[Rayuga vs The Ginyu Force Begins!]
Captain Ginyu barked an order.
"Burter! Recoome! Guldo! Attack him!"
With a battle cry, the three Ginyu Force members lunged at Rayuga at once.
Burter flashed forward at blinding speeds.
Recoome charged with a booming roar.
Guldo tried to use his time-freeze ability.
But the next moment—
BAM!!
Burter's body flew backward like a ragdoll, smashing into a mountain.
CRACK!
Recoome was sent flying with a single casual elbow to the stomach, coughing up blood.
ZAP!
Guldo, trying to use his powers, had his scouter blasted off and was slammed face-first into the ground by a simple, precise ki shot.
It all happened so fast the Z Fighters couldn't even react.
Vegeta's jaw twitched. "W-What... just happened?"
Krillin and Gohan stared wide-eyed.
Even Piccolo's mouth opened slightly in disbelief.
---
[Captain Ginyu's Shock]
Captain Ginyu's face darkened.
"Impossible! No one defeats the Ginyu Force so easily!"
He gritted his teeth and flew forward himself, fist cocked back, aiming for Rayuga's face.
WHAM!!
Their fists collided.
The ground beneath them cracked violently.
But in the next instant—
Rayuga twisted his body slightly, redirecting Ginyu's power completely, and delivered a devastating knee to the captain's stomach.
Ginyu gasped.
Before he could react, Rayuga grabbed him by the face and slammed him into the ground like a meteor.
BOOM!!
Dust and rocks exploded everywhere.
Captain Ginyu groaned in pain, twitching at Rayuga's feet.
The proud leader of the Ginyu Force was utterly humiliated.
---
[Jeice's Desperate Move]
Seeing his comrades beaten so easily, Jeice panicked.
He formed a giant red ki blast.
"This is my Crusher Ball! Die!!" he screamed, throwing it with all his might at Rayuga.
The giant flaming ball raced toward Rayuga—
But Rayuga simply lifted his hand.
With two fingers, he casually flicked the ball.
FWOOSH!!
The Crusher Ball was deflected into space, disappearing without a trace.
Jeice froze, horror dawning on him.
Rayuga smirked slightly.
"Not bad. But—"
He vanished instantly from Jeice's sight.
In the next moment—
CRACK!
Jeice collapsed, knocked out with a single chop to the neck.
---
[Complete Annihilation]
In under two minutes, the entire Ginyu Force was defeated.
Not killed — simply crushed into unconsciousness.
Rayuga deliberately spared their lives... for now.
Behind him, the Z Fighters could barely process what they had seen.
Bulma whispered to Akiko, "I thought the Ginyu Force were supposed to be super strong?"
Akiko smiled warmly, holding Gohan.
"Rayuga is much stronger than them."
Even Vegeta, though furious at his own weakness, couldn't deny it.
Rayuga was on a completely different level.
---
[Post Battle: Discussion]
Rayuga stepped back toward the group.
"They were just scouts," he said seriously. "Frieza is the real threat."
Goku clenched his fists, feeling his blood boiling with excitement.
"I can't wait to fight him!"
Rayuga gave him a light chop on the head, making Goku laugh awkwardly.
"This isn't about excitement. It's about survival," Rayuga said, eyes narrowing.
"Frieza isn't someone you can afford to take lightly."
He turned to Vegeta.
"You felt it too, right?"
Vegeta grunted, folding his arms. "Tch. Of course. Frieza is leagues above us."
Rayuga nodded.
"But that's why... we'll crush him."
Everyone felt a surge of determination.
Rayuga's words carried weight.
With him leading the charge...
They might actually stand a chance.

[Secret System Notification - Only Rayuga Sees]
Ding!
> [Hidden Battle Challenge Complete: Defeat Ginyu Force Alone!]
[Reward: 10% Additional Super Saiyan 4 Bloodline!]
[Super Saiyan 4 Bloodline Completion: 45%]
Rayuga's eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
Good.
Very good.
The day he achieved true Super Saiyan 4 wasn't far away.
And he would need it — for what was coming next.
Because deep in the cosmos, an evil presence was drawing closer...
Frieza.
The real war for Namek was about to begin.
