(Tale 296)

Charging his body with Ki, Frieza destroys his own battle armor and transforms his slight, unassuming frame into that of a hulking monster.

(Tale 296)

Boasting a Power Level of over one million, he displayed his ferocious strength by blowing up the area around him by simply raising his hand into the air!

(Tale 296)

Menacingly remarking, "Let me see, who shall I obliterate first?", he sets his sights on Krillin and impales him upon one of his horns.

(Tale 296)

Gohan attacks him in a rage, but his assault has no effect on the tyrant, who responds by saying, "Now I shall return the pain I’ve been dealt...many times over..." and unleashing a barrage of relentless blows upon him.

(Tale 298)

Right when Frieza is about to deliver the finishing blow on Gohan, Krillin hurls a Kienzan at him and slices off the tip of his tail!

(Tale 299)

Piccolo enters the fray and even manages to make some ground against Frieza, but unfortunately for our heroes, he'd been holding back his full strength the entire time and soon turns the tide of battle back in his favor!

(Tale 300)

(Tale 301)

However, another twist reveals that Piccolo had been holding back his full power too, forcing Frieza to reveal another of his frightful forms...

Trivia

Frieza's Second Form is a rare sight!

This form apparently has so much power that even Frieza himself prefers not to use it due to being unable to control it properly. Considering he already has a Power Level of 530,000 in his base form, he'd never been required to transform at all until the events on Planet Namek.
