The Saiyans clustered around and behind their king, who was looking at their adversaries. He had an expression of worry plastered on his face. There was about to be a huge fight, everyone in Hell could sense it. A battle that involved the monkey-like warriors was extremely rare, as nobody dared to challenge them; they were just too strong. Unfortunately for them, their current adversary – or, rather, adversaries – was much stronger than all of the Saiyans combined.
A scowl lit up King Vegeta's face as he met the eyes of the Changeling who had controlled his people for so long. The Changeling had a smirk on his face, one that irritated King Vegeta more than it really should have. Frieza was one that pestered all Saiyans immensely, simply because they all knew that Frieza was nigh unbeatable to them. They all despised Frieza, and King Vegeta was aware that there were five Saiyans in particular – a band of low-classes – that wanted Frieza to be torn limb from limb… preferably at their hands.
King Vegeta scowled. "So, Frieza, you are not content with ruling us solely in life. You want to rule us in death, as well?" he hissed, the name of the Changeling figuratively burning his tongue. Frieza smiled cruelly. King Vegeta surveyed the people with Frieza, seeing two people that were familiar; Zarbon and Dodoria, Frieza's best henchman. There was also the famed Ginyu Force, and Frieza's brother and father, Cooler and King Cold. Behind them, however, was the one that bothered King Vegeta immensely. It was the horrible, man-bug thing standing just behind the Saiyans' familiar adversaries.
Frieza's tail swayed gently. "Well, somebody has to rein the animals in," he said calmly, in his posh, aristocratic voice. The Saiyans' foes began to laugh, clearly hoping to rile the Saiyans up. It worked. Fury reared its ugly head within their hearts, and some of them even stepped forwards. King Vegeta observed them.
"Stop. There's no point," he ordered, even though he felt like launching himself at the megalomaniac. He felt like choking Frieza, or possibly ripping the stupid Changeling's head off… not like it would do much good. Being dead already, there was no way to kill Frieza again… but then again, that would mean that Frieza would cease to be completely. King Vegeta smirked for a brief second before going back to business.
Cooler strode up to Frieza and smirked as he looked down at the younger Changeling. Cooler's dark purple skin was a harsh contrast to Frieza's pure white skin, but the Saiyans didn't really care about that.
"Careful, little brother," Cooler warned, not bothering to lower his voice; he wanted the Saiyans to hear his harsh, joking words. "We don't want any more Super Saiyans on our hands now, do we?" The way he said 'Super Saiyans' sounded like he was mocking the Saiyans' legends. Which, they all realised, was exactly what he was doing.
"You son of a bitch," Nappa hissed, stepping forward. King Vegeta grabbed the Saiyan general's arm tightly, causing Nappa to look back at King Vegeta, confused. The Saiyan king shook his head, and Nappa – after shooting a poisonous glare at the enemies amassed before them – turned on his heel and walked back so that he was standing just behind the king.
The younger cold-blooded tyrant smirked. "They won't be able to achieve Super Saiyan," he mocked, "They're simply nothing more than brainless animals." That comment nearly made Nappa snap again, and he took another step forward. King Vegeta focussed his dark eyes on the brutish warrior, and Nappa huffed as he turned away from the Saiyans' adversaries. They all started laughing, and King Vegeta growled. "Look at that! The Saiyan king does little to stop me from insulting his precious pride," Frieza mocked again. The way he said 'precious pride' so very nearly made King Vegeta snap, but – like always – King Vegeta reined his wild emotions in. It would definitely not do to get angry now. A Saiyan's anger, while providing them with more battle power, clouded their judgement, and King Vegeta knew he needed a clear head if he were to get rid of these guys.
"Shut up, you impudent worm…" King Vegeta hissed as Frieza and the others continued to mock them. The Saiyans' adversaries stopped their mocking, shocked, and then began hooting with laughter. King Vegeta's anger snapped, and he roared as he rushed forward and smashed Frieza in the face with a hard punch to the jaw. He also caught Cooler off guard by kicking the purple-skinned Changeling in the stomach, hard. Cooler collapsed to the ground, winded.
In retaliation, the man-bug thing tried to stab King Vegeta with its tail, but King Vegeta saw the movement and moved his head to the side just as the stinger at the end of the creature's tail stabbed right where his eye had been a second ago. The creature hissed as he continually tried to stab the Saiyan king, but his attempts bore no fruit.
"Stop, Cell," Frieza grunted, clicking his jaw back into place before smirking nastily at the Saiyan king, who'd jumped back to his subjects. Cell hissed in defeat, but said nothing as he turned his head and refused to even look at the king. Frieza smacked his tail against the ground as he angrily looked at the Saiyans. They'd formed a shield in front of their king, and each one had their teeth bared, showing teeth reminiscent of their Oozaru forms' sharp teeth. "You have no hope of defeating us, worms," Frieza hissed, making the other enemies laugh again.
Suddenly, a few warriors in the army began to glow, King Vegeta and Nappa among them. Both Saiyans panicked as they started to fade, and the Saiyans and their adversaries all looked at the fading, glowing warriors, more than just a bit confused.
"H-help me!" King Vegeta cried, seconds before he disappeared into nothingness. Nappa panicked as he too disappeared, and a Saiyan cried out as a few more warriors – Bardock, his team, and his son – also vanished. Everyone's eyes widened as no more Saiyans disappeared.
Frieza blinked before looking at his older brother. "What… just happened?" he murmured. Cooler shrugged, not know what had happened.
What had just happened?
