Arctic Circle...
"Ryus, why are we here? It's freezing!" Tai complained as he and his companion trudged through the deep snow. All around them, the sky was blocked out by the swirling of ice and snow. It stung Tai's red skin as his tail swished snow to each side in annoyance.
"Don't complain so much or the commander will have your head!" The shorter blue alien barked as he crossed his arms. They both looked like large muscular humans, a yellow mustache and wild hair on Ryus and shorter black hair on Tai.
"The commander sent us because he picked up an unfamiliar energy signature!" Ryus continued as he pushed further through the blizzard. The ice in the wind stung at their skin as their armored torsos weren't built for this weather.
"Doesn't the commander know how dangerous Earth is now?" Tai urged as he followed Ryus. "The Saiyans are here, so is Bojack, and without Lord Frieza we are severely under powered!"
The two trudged along in silence until Tai spoke up again. "Why don't we just fly? It would be easier and faster!"
Ryus stopped in his tracks as he looked back at his fellow soldier. "The wind is too strong and we can't see anyway!" He scoffed before turning back around and mumbling. "Why would the earthlings want to live on a planet with this kind of weather?!"
The wind and snow never stopped, it may have even become more harsh. It was just an endless wasteland of snow and ice as far as the eye could see. The onlything that kept the two Frieza soldiers from dying was the intense training they went through.
When the storm just seems to be at its worst, Ryus saw a flicker of light through the snow and ice. It was a long way away, but within sight as Tai came up beside him.
"What's that?" He asked as they started walking again as Ryus put his scouter down. Despite the ice that constantly blurred his vision, the scouter picked up an energy signature...a large one.
"It's what we came for." Ryus smiled as he strode toward the light, Tai following close behind. As they neared the light, they made out the shape of a tent, maybe the size of a human car.
As they finally came to the tent, Tai saw the light was a fire, still burning brightly despite the snow. The ground was dug around the fire, wood burning around the dug out hole as the flame burned brightly.
"Here?" Tai asked, skepticism laced in his voice. He looked around at the tent and fire, not appearing anything more than a native's home. But Ryus wanted to check for sure.
"Let's go inside. Just to be safe." He suggested as he knelt down to the door of the tent. It seemed to be some sort of animal hide, a brown worn colour to it. The hem was a white fur of some sort and it stunk of musk.
Ryus opened the flap, kneeling to go inside as Tai followed him. The inside opened up to a small room that was only lit by an oil lamp. A bed roll lay in one corner as a book lay open beside it. Tai bent down to pick it up but Ryus grabbed his shoulder.
"We're not alone." He said as they both stood straight up. "Let's blow this place." They opened their hands as ki glowed brightly. The balls of energy ripped through the walls of the tent, a burning smell of skin filling the air. They fired more and more blasts until the tent was nothing but a smoking pile of burnt hide.
Both soldiers smiled, proud of the small bit of destruction caused. But those smiles faded when a third person spoke up.
"You boys know you just destroyed my home, right?" An agitated voice said from behind them. Tai turned first, more surprised than anything at the sudden appearance of someone else. There stood what looked like a human, peach skin vaguely visible in the blizzard. Very, dark black hair was almost stiffened to one side as it seemed almost sharp. A black muscle shirt hung loosely over a red, short sleeve undershirt. Baggy black pants were tucked into boots that left hardly any imprints in the snow. Two blackeyes pierced into theirs, daggers seeming to come from them.
"Who the hell are you?!" Ryus barked as Tai lowered his scouter. His mouth dropped open when he saw the number and he tried to say something. His mouth was open but no sound came out.
The mystery man let a sly smile come from the corner of his mouth as his feet raised a little off the ground. Ryus and Tai watched in awe as his control in the wind was near perfect, snow blowing across his face.
"My name is Reminz...and you're going to pay for destroying my home!" He flew straight at them, a loud yell echoing over the frozen wasteland.
West City...
Piccolo's eyes shot open as he looked around where he was. He was just outside Capsule Corp, sitting on a low brick wall. Bulma had called him there, along with the rest of the Z Fighters for a big announcement...
Turned out, that big 'announcement' was her asking everyone to help her plan for her 38th birthday party, which was in a couple weeks.
"Stupid Earth celebrations." He fumed but that's not why he was agitated. No, a second ago, he had felt a strong energy signature go up. Not as strong as Goku and Vegeta, but...
"Another full blooded Saiyan!" He gasped as reconized that familiar feeling. He looked toward the doors of Capsule Corp, about to rush in and tell the others when he stopped himself.
"I can take care of this myself." He told himself as he looked to the sky. He closed his eyes, trying to get a lock on the energy. It was a long way away, and difficult to pinpoint. But it seemed it was coming from the northern region of Earth.
Piccolo rose to the air, eyes focused and face set in concentration as he took off through the air, high above the city. But his mind was racing in thought on the new arrival.
Are they friendly? How did they get here? How long had they been there? But Piccolo was more worried about one thing in particular.
"I've got to get there first! If anyone else does, who knows what will happen?" Piccolo pushed himself a little faster on that thought, hoping he would arrive before anyone else
Arctic Circle...
Ryus felt like his stomach was about to fold together in pain. It had caught him off guard when Reminz's foot drove itself deep into his midsection. He gasped for air as Tai gasped in surprise, eyes wide and open mouthed as his comrade buckled over in pain. Reminz neatly flipped back away from them as he looked at them.
"You'll pay for that!" He growled, holding his stomach in pain. Reminz only stared as Ryus recovered.
"Just for that, we are going to kill you." Tai smirked as he took a fighting stance, as did Ryus. They both dashed at him, drawing back fists as Reminz didn't seem to move. As they brought there fists down, he brought both his arms and blocked the attacks! Ryus and Tai stared in shock and horror at him, who only gave off a smirk.
"My turn." Reminz said as he shoved their arms off his as he went at them. For all their training under Lord Frieza, they had never seen such speed. He felt an impact on his face that was so hard, he couldn't tell if it was a fist or a foot! It was a punch that Ryus watched in shock hit his partner and knock him over.
"Alright, enough fooling around!" Ryus thought as he helped Tai up. They looked at each other before dashing in again, going at their top speed. Reminz mirrored this ability, blocking and returning the blows.
Time seemed to slow again as Tai landed a to Reminz's cheek. "I've got him now!" He thought as he pushed the first further. Reminz opened his eyes as he bared his teeth and bit down on Tai's arm...hard. The alien yelled in pain as Ryus grabbed Reminz from behind. He smiled with satisfaction as Reminz struggled against his grip around his waist.
"Get ready to die, filth!" He snarled as Reminz brought his foot swinging back. There was a choking sound as Ryus let go, choosing to hold the area Reminz had just hit.
"What kind of fighter are you!?" Tai screamed as he held his now teeth indented arm. Ryus had crumpled to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes. Reminz smiled and stuck out a hand as an orb of energy started to glow in it. Multiple blasts of ki flew from his plam, swirling through the still blowing snow. They collided with the two soldier's bodies, causing small explosions all over them.
Tai and Ryus were thrown back from their feet, tumbling in the snow as they groaned in pain. Their armor was scorched, burnt from the blasts as Reminz stood over them.
"I have never seen you in my life. Why did you destroy my home?" Reminz questioned as his hand glowed again.
"Why should we tell you?!" Ryus spat as Reminz only smirked. He let the ki orb go as it exploded over Ryus' face, making him scream in pain. It burned his eyes as he try to claw away at something that couldn't be shooed away.
"I will kill you!" Tai yelled as he tried to stand up. But Reminz stamped down on his ankle as Tai too let out a cry of pain. The soldier fell, his ankle nothing but a broken bone.
"What about you? Will you tell me why you two bozos decided to destroy the one thing I owned?" He smirked as he put his own foot on Tai's ankle, putting only a bit of weight on it. But Tai still screamed in agony as he pleaded for mercy.
"Alright, alright! Please stop! We picked up your energy reading on our scouters and we came to check it out! We really just want the drag-" Tai was cut off mid sentence when a beam of energy sliced through his chest from the sky. Reminz jumped back in shock as Tai let out a wet cough with a shocked look on his face.
"What the hel-" He too was cut off when another small beam cut directly through the center of his chest. He stared only for a second, open mouthed and in shock before going limp in the snow.
"Well, well. Look what we found." A voice from behind Reminz taunted as he whipped around. Floating in the air in front of him were 5 blueish green skinned aliens.
Bojack's crew. Bido, Koju, Bujin, Zangya, and the devil himself, Bojack. They all glared menacingly down at him as he took a step back.
"Now I don't want any trouble. I was just taking care of some business. So, if you could, I'd like to-" Reminz began but he noticed Bido's hands glowing. He looked up to see Bojack's crew surrounding him, Bojack just smiling and watching. "What's that?"
"Get the Saiyan filth!" Koju spat as there seemed to be a ball of energy shot into Reminz. This was their Psycho Thread attack, as it dropped into Reminz, it seemed to make him angry as he locked eyes with them.
"Alright! You asked for it!" Reminz angrily said as he tried to power up and fly. But he yelled out in pain, as Bujin, Bido, Koju and Zangya held out their hands. Purple electricity sparked off his body as he struggled to move. It felt like his energy was being drained with every attempted move.
It was. Bojack's henchmen were using Psycho Thread, a move that drained their opponents energy the more they struggle. Reminz fell to one knee, trying to whip out a ki blasts. But that only hurt him more.
He struggled some more, but finally succumbed to the energy draining attack as he fell face first into the snow. Bojack and his crew floated to the ground, all smirking as Koju and Bido lifted him up by his arms and legs.
"Now we have a bargaining chip to use the other Saiyans." Bojack sneered as Zangya flicked her hair.
"I don't see why we're doing this. We could beat the others without this idiot." She scoffed as Bojack looked at her.
"I don't want to take any chances! I always liked a bit of insurance." Bojacked smirked as they started to fly into the air. "And when we're done with him, we'll kill him."
It was at this moment Piccolo arrived on the scene. He came to the area where Ryus and Tai lay dead in the snow, worried that he found the soldiers. "Did they get him?"
He looked to the sky, trying to find his barrings in the swirling snow. He caught movement in the snow, in the sky as he flew toward it to check it out. As he got closer, the thing seemed to disappear for a minute. He stopped in the air and looked around, trying to find whatever he had been following.
That's when Bido, Kogu, Bujin and Zangya appeared. They surrounded Piccolo as their hands began to glow again.
"What?!" Piccolo yelled in surprise as the Psycho Thread washed over him. He too struggled against the attack, but cried out when his energy was being drained.
His eyes rolled back in his head as he started to fall out of the air. But Bojack caught him on one arm, smiling devilishly. "The great warrior, Piccolo. How great are you now?"
He carried Piccolo over his shoulder as the others still hefted Reminz. They flew into the sky, disappearing in the howling wind and blowing snow without a trace.
