Some time has passed since Broly faced Gogeta on Earth, and Goku thus provided them with food and supplies courtesy of Bulma. Now Broly, Cheelai, and Lemo find themselves traveling through the cosmos via spaceship; trying to keep their distance from Frieza and his forces. Looking through the back window of the vessel, Cheelai is anxious to disembark. "We've been in outer-space for two days now. Nobody knows where we are, Lemo."

"So it appears." Lemo replies. "But the longer we keep this up, the better our chances are of staying out of harm's way in the long-term. One more day should be enough."

Cheelai tilts her head back against her seat. "Oh come on, old man. I'm starving back here. We've already burned through most of the supplies that Goku gave us. All we have left are a bunch of tea packets and water." Cheelai then looks at Broly, and places a hand on his shoulder. "Besides, I'm sure Broly is starving too. He is a Saiyan after all."

Lemo smirks "Well, I don't see any fancy restaurants where you two love-birds can go on a date." This makes Cheelai and Broly react with embarrassment.

For a while, they all believe themselves to be in the clear. Suddenly, they get intercepted by a fleet of Frieza Force Spaceships which have been sent to hunt the three of them down. As Broly and company attempt to make an escape, one of their engines gets taken out by a laser, forcing them to make an emergency landing on a world completely covered with ice.

As they exit the vessel; Broly, Cheelai, and Lemo find themselves in the middle of a blizzard. They all watch as Frieza's Forces prepare to land on a flat near their location. Keeping their distance, the three outcasts come across an opening to a cave which they proceed to enter, hoping that Frieza's men will lose their trail as they go in.


Once inside, Broly and them let their guard down and take a few moments to sit down and catch their breath. Before too long, however, they come across a gigantic snow-monster deep within the cave. As it approaches, Cheelai and Lemo pull out their guns, and open fire upon the beast, but they do no damage. As Broly gets ready to rage out, a mysterious person suddenly appears from the shadows and makes quick work of the snow monster. Once this is done, the mysterious person reveals himself to be a member of Frieza's kind. He does in fact look very similar to Frieza in his first form, except for the fact that he has bright blue eyes, a bright blue cranium, and is at least six inches taller.

Stunned, Lemo reacts with apprehension. "You're one of Frieza's people."

The stranger holds his hand up and says "You have nothing to fear. I am not a threat to any of you. I have been on the run for years, just as you are now."

Lemo is surprised by this. "How do you know about that?"

"I saw Frieza's men as they landed. They didn't see me, but I heard them mention looking for deserters in this area. They don't know we're in this cave. We'll be safe for now, so long as we keep our power levels hidden from their scouters."

Lemo and Cheelai both let out a sigh. "What a relief." says Lemo. "Nobility is a rare trait among Frieza's people. To find one willing to help the three of us is nothing short of extraordinary. You have our thanks, stranger."

"No thanks necessary, old man. I am merely doing what is necessary."

"So you say."


After Lemo and Cheelai set up camp using the capsules provided to them by Goku, Lemo boils tea over a campfire and proceeds to ask the stranger "Now that the tea is done, allow me to introduce myself." He pours tea into a cup. "My name is Lemo. This is my associate, Cheelai. And that's our friend, Broly."

"Broly? I think that's a Saiyan name. But I thought the Saiyans were all wiped out when Planet Vegeta was destroyed."

"Apparently not. In fact there are at least two other full-blooded Saiyans living peacefully on Planet Earth as of this moment. One of which is the former Prince himself."

The stranger is surprised to hear this as Lemo hands him a cup of tea. "I...I was not aware of this."

"So what is your name if you don't mind me asking?"

The stranger sips the tea. "My name...is Icin."

Lemo is intrigued. "Icin? Hm. That's curious. If I'm not mistaken, you were one of Lord Frieza's finest warriors before Planet Vegeta's Destruction. Though from what I understand, you were re-assigned to a distant solar system and never returned."

"Ugh. So that's what they told you?"

Lemo is surprised by this reaction. "What do you mean?"

Icin takes another sip. "I didn't get re-assigned. I left the Frieza Force." The others gasp. "And for good reason."

"And why is that?"

"They used me. Lord Frieza used me. He raised me to believe that the Saiyans were monsters without remorse, that my father was killed by one of them."

"Oh good lord."

As Cheelai sips some tea, Icin continues his story. "I thought that I was doing the right thing by helping Lord Frieza. But that turned out to be a lie."


ICIN NARRATES:

After my father's death, Frieza took me in. He trained me to fight and taught me how to kill. Within four years, I was given my first and final assignment as Lord Frieza's personal Assassin. I had three targets. The First Target was an old man. A well known Saiyan Historian. One of few remaining Saiyans who had knowledge of their ancient history, including the Legendary Super Saiyan. The Second Target was a member of King Vegeta's council. He had called for the end of the Saiyans' involvement in the planet trade, and did not trust Lord Frieza. The Third Target was a Double-Agent; a Spy working for King Vegeta; providing him with insight as to what Lord Frieza was planning.

The First Target, I later found out, was already in ill health as it was. If I hadn't shown up when I did, he would've perished well within a month's passing. The Second Target was just as pitiful to me. He could barely hold his own in a one-on-one fight. Then I came across The Third Target. He knew who I was somehow, and before he died he told me "Frieza is using you." Though he didn't have time to explain what he meant by this, I later managed to eavesdrop on a conversation between Frieza and Dodoria. That's when I learned the truth. It wasn't a Saiyan who killed my father. It was Frieza himself. Lord Frieza had led me astray for four years.

Of course, that wasn't all I had learned. I also found out that Frieza was plotting the unthinkable. The Annihilation of all the Saiyans on Planet Vegeta. At this time, I could've made an effort to try and confront Frieza right then and there, but even I knew that it wouldn't be enough to stop him. Instead, I sought to warn King Vegeta of the impending attack, but Frieza's men intercepted me in orbit causing me to crash land here on this planet. Within days, I could only watch from a nearby slope as Planet Vegeta was engulfed in an explosion. I've been in hiding ever since.
