History FanFic / TheFallOfLordFrieza

* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler: Piccolo forces himself to keep fighting Raichi, who is far stronger than him at this point, until Frieza and Cooler arrive.]]

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8522508/1/The-Fall-of-Lord-Frieza The Fall of Lord Frieza]] is a DragonBallZ FanFic by Mr. Arkham. The main story breaks off from canon when Frieza decides not to throw Goku's borrowed energy back at him at the end of their battle on Namek. After flying off (with his [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe missing half]] in tow), and being found King Cold, he decides to return to his home planet, Arcos, and train to take revenge on the Z-Fighters. To give any more information about the plot would spoil everything.

The fic is notable for being extremely well-written and in character, with lots of believable Orignal characters, in addition to providing massive amounts of character development and backstory for not only Frieza, but also his family, his entire species, and his empire.

** Android 16 attempts this by self-destructing against Cell as in canon.

** Frieza vs a rather powerful bandit gang. It's like watching [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] fight a FotNS filler villain.

* CrazySurvivalist: Inyon lived for over 20 years on a desert planet populated by insanely powerful monsters. She might have gone nuts, but she became insanely powerful.
* CurbStompBattle: Ultimately, Bojack's galaxy soldiers never stood much of a chance.

** The desert world Inyon was exiled too, filled with dangerous monsters.

** Janemba.
** [[spoiler: Taken UpToEleven when he gets hit with the Majin Symbol and becomes a giant, grotesque monster.]]

* EyeBeams: Several characters use these.

** There's also Frieza (who eventually takes on [[spoiler: a possessed, albeit highly fatigued and worn out, Super Saiyan 3 Goku]]), Cooler (who becomes stronger than Super Perfect Cell), and Piccolo, who gets to Cell's level by fusing with Slak.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Averted. In fact, the whole premise of the story is what happens when a villain ''does'' decide to level grind. Until the events of the fic Frieza hadn't even trained rigorously for a very long time. He spends the story training constantly whenever possible. Cooler also level grinds, though only after his HeelFaceTurn.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Janemba is hurt by insults of all things.

* AxCrazy: Inyon, Hatchiyack, and Brolly.

* BadBoss: Frieza(At first) and King Cold.

* HeelFaceTurn: A major element of the story.

* NoNameGiven: Queen Cold.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Averted. In fact, the whole premise of the story is what happens when a villain ''does'' decide to level grind. Until the events of the fic Frieza hadn't even trained rigorously for a very long time. He spends the story training constantly whenever possible.

* AGlassOfChianti: Frieza loves his wine. Subverted in that Frieza isn't a BigBad anymore.

* BigDamnHeroes: Frieza and Cooler [[spoiler: swoop in to save Inyon, Piccolo and Gohan from Raichi.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Frieza's is the centrepiece for most of the story.

* CorruptChurch: [[spoiler: Before the events of fic, Dr. Raichii founds a fake cult, and uses his machines to leech ki from the various worshippers to power Hatchiyack.]]

* [[DefeatMeansFriendship Defeat Means Servitude]]: How Frieza aquired Inyon's loyalty, in addition to removing her from her twenty-year exile.

* FlyingBrick: veryone important, and many who aren't.

** TerribleTrio: [[spoiler: Before they HeelFaceTurn is finally complete]].

* HandicappedBadass: Thoroughly averted early in the story. Frieza notes that his prosthetics are somewhat slow and clunky compared to his organic limbs (feeling things with his new arm is compared to soing so while wearing a glove), and he cannot tap into 100% of his power with the mechanical limbs. Thankfully, the maiming is only temporary.

* HeroicRROD: The Kaioken, as well as anything that taxes someone's energy output too much. [[spoiler: During Goku and Frieza's rematch, Goku activates Kaioken while a Super Saiyan in oder to win a BeamOWar, but underestimated how much it would drain him.]]

* HotMom: Bulma, Chi Chi, Android 18 and now [[spoiler: Zangya and Launch.]]

* Kamehamehadoken: If you don't know, then why exactly are you here again?
* KiAttacks: Comes with the territory. The author actually goes into detail into the features of various blasts, such as color, type and size.

* NighInvulnerability: As in canon, everyone, to an unbilievable degree.

* NotThatKindOfDoctor: [[spoiler: When Frieza asks Midgyo for advice about his nightmares]], he gives some theories, but says that he doesn't really know anything for sure, scince he's not a psychologist.

* PapaWolf: Goku, [[spoiler:and surprizingly enough, Frieza after the 7-year TimeSkip]]

* PsychicPowers: One of the main specialities of the Arcosians.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Frieza's eyebeams.

* RunTheGauntlet: [[spoiler: Part of the reason Frieza was able to beat Raichi was because he had was tired from fighting Inyon, Yamcha, Gohan and Piccolo in quick succession, with no time to rest.]]

* StrongerSibling: Cooler, at first, thanks to his fifth form. He actually manages to defeat Super Saiyan Trunks and comes close to killing Goku right after. We all know how Freeza vs Trunks went in the actual series...

* SuperpowerfulGenetics: As was the case in canon, the offspring of the Saiyans are incredibly powerful. However the Cold Family do have a lineage of this, as one of their ancestors was the first to unlock the 5th form. It's implied only members of Frieza's bloodline can utilise this form.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Averted. In fact, the whole premise of the story is what happens when a villain ''does'' decide to level grind. Until the events of the fic Frieza hadn't even trained rigourously for a very long time. He spends the story training constantly whenever possible.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: All Arcosians, and Cell by extension due to having Arcosian DNA.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Kanchapp

* MadScientist: Raichi and Gero

* MindOverMatter: While Frieza has his great physical might, it is shown that he has very potent telekinetic power.

* NighInvulnerability: As in canon, Frieza can't rely on regeneration like Cell and Buu. He is just insanely durable and seems capable of surviving any environment.

* SmugSuper: Frieza has to move past being one of these.

* TransformingIsAFreeAction: Averted completely. Transformations are interrupted quite a few times, and when someone manages to pull one off without a hitch, it is usually justified. [[spoiler:It is this very aversion that costs King Cold his life when Trunks kills him before he can finish transforming into his fourth form.]]

* MoralityChain: Pollari and Eis are mainly there to help show that there is the tiniest chance that Frieza's soul might not be [[CompleteMonster completely black and rotten]].

* AGlassOfChianti: Frieza is very fond of his red wine. Subverted in that Frieza isn't a BigBad anymore.

* CallingYourAttacks: Lampshaded when Raichii performs an attack he hadn't shown before and makes up a name for it on the spot, Which Frieza dryly skarks at, before [[HypocriticalHumor doing to exact same thing]]

* FlamingHair: [[spoiler: Frieza in his sixth form.]]

* HandicappedBadass: Thoroughly averted early in the story. Frieza notes that his prosthetics are very slow and clunky compared to his organic limbs, and he cannot tap into 100% of his power with the mechanical limbs. Thankfully, the maiming is only temporary.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Frieza is stated to be quite small for a male Arcosian, but, well... [[PersonOfMassDestruction he's Frieza]]

* SignatureMove: Frieza explains that the Death Beam is actually a SignatureMove for the entire Arcosian royal blood line, invented to quickly and efficiently execute those who were suspected to be traitors on the spot.

* TookALevelInKindness: Compared to his canon counterpart, Frieza must have taken a million of these.
* TransformingIsAFreeOption: Averted completely. Transformations are interrupted quite a few times, and when someone manages to pull one off without a hitch, it is usually justified. [[spoiler:It is this very aversion that costs King Cold his life when Trunks kills him before he can finish transforming into his fourth form.]]

* AGlassOfChianti: Frieza is very fond of his red wine.

* {{Expy}}: Dr. Raichi seems to have more in common with Baby from DragonBallGT than with his OVA counterpart.
** The lawless desert planet Frieza and co. visit is a pretty obvious [[StarWars Tatooine]] knockoff.
** [[spoiler: Frieza's 6th form has a few things in common with the DC Comics superhero Firestorm, and the Marvel Comics supervillain Firelord.]]
