Prologue:
Seventh Universe; Somewhere in west Galaxy; Age 767; May 14; 9:30 PM.
"You are a fool Takashi! I can not believe that you are still following that little doll after all!". The voice of the demon echoed loudly and caused disturbance under the people nearby. The variety of reactions reached from strange looks, to people leaving in fear because of the infuriated shouting.
Nevertheless the addressed one kept his calmness. Takashi brushed some dust from his battle armor and turned around to face his combatant Susumu. The back-armor emblem glowed even more through the sunset lighting than usual. The royal star is a sign of pride and competence, only worn by the Elite Guard, or the royal Family of the old Empire itself.
"I served the Toyoko Empire for centuries, and it will stay that way. I am obliged to protect the royal family until I die. That's my destiny, it always has been, and
always will be. We shall rebuild it to old greatness." Takashi answered.
"Oh that's your great plan? huh? First running away like the dog you are, and now pretending to be the honorable, loyal fighter?". Susumu clenched his fists in anger and frustration over his stubborn companion.
Finally Takashi realized the seriousness of Susumu's anger. He raised his hand to put it on to the other warriors shoulder."I am warning you Susumu. You may be my friend, but I am also your superior. Don't forget that I saved your life too." Takashi replied slowly.
Susumu shook Takashi's arm off and took a step backwards, not knowing if he could hold himself back much longer. "Just think about it. The old times are gone, we should take over NOW! You and me. No one could stop us. WE.. don't.. need... her. She is the remaining eyesore of our past, the ultimate symbol of all the years of oppression."
Flashback:
The Toyoko Empire was the most influential dictatorship in the second Universe. It ruled over the majority of the galaxies for several million years. The Toyoko family is a small group of mutated beings, very similar to the Cold family in the seventh Universe. In addition to great potential, DNA manipulation resulted to forming some of the most powerful entities known to the Universe. The royal Guards are a collection of the most skilled and powerful fighters scattered over the Universe. Some of them managed to rival, or even surpass members of the royal family in terms of power.
Takashi and Susumu are part of the "Dardarians", a very ancient, demon-like race with a huge fighting tradition. The Empire met it's end when it grew overconfident, a disrespecting gesture towards the god of destruction of the second Universe was enough to cause an unbelievable massacre at the royal palace. Takashi knew that it was foolish to fight against a monstrosity like this. He decided to escape with the princess as the only heir to the throne left, and his second in command: Susumu.
Takashi used a special, untested device to travel to an other Universe, as he figured that the god of destruction couldn't follow him, because he would have to leave
his area of responsibility in order to reach him. Unable to recharge their device, the remnants of the old Empire plan their Conquest to gain control over the Seventh Universe.
"This conversation is finished!" Yelled Takashi, loosing his calmness for the first time since the beginning of their verbal exchange. "We are meeting up with princess Keira inside this building. Follow me, this is an order!" The higher ranked warrior commanded. Takashi turned around and slowly walked across the car park, waiting for his assistants reaction.
Susumu growled something in anger, but obeyed his order. Catching up to the Elite he pointed out: "A club isn't a proper location to discuss our plans either."
Relieved that Susumu actually followed him, Takashi started to speed up a little. "You are wrong. Firstly: We won't draw any attention to us, since everyone is occupied with different affairs, like drinking or dancing. Secondly: It doesn't matter if someone hears us. We are still the most powerful beings in this Universe... Besides,
the princess wants to refresh herself with a drink." Takashi muttered the last part of his sentence, being not very pleased with that part of his reasoning himself.
The demon opened the door of the main entrance and immediately a brick wall of loud music hit them. Takashi has never experienced something like this, all people in a good mood celebrating in close space together. Despite the uncomfortable heat and the jostling, he enjoyed the situation. 'I heard about these clubs, but it is certainly different to actually visit one yourself. How can one be so cheerful, when life is such a fierce struggle for survival.'
"We have to get to the bar upstairs." Takashi said, slowly returning from his thoughts.
"Positive." Susumu stated, while he pushed a kissing pair out of his way, causing a woman to fall to the ground with a painful cry.
"Here are the stairs." Takashi pointed out, leading the way to the second floor. "She has to be here, can you locate her?" Takashi asked.
"I can see her. She is at the bar, right side." Susumu said, trying to disguise the hate in his voice as much as he could.
"Got it."
Both warriors worked their way through the crowd to their princess. When they reached her, Takashi promptly bowed to show his respect. "My majesty, we are here to share the information our research revealed." Realizing that his comrade was still standing, he elbowed to his side to force Susumu on his knees.
"Don't overdo it." The later whispered in pain, rubbing his side.
The princess still didn't bother to turn around to face her henchmen. She sipped at her cup and asked. "What do you have for me?"
"It appears that Lord Frieza and King Cold are dead indeed, there is no one in this Universe who could frustrate our Conquest." Takashi assured.
"Really?" Keira asked surprised. She turned around to muster her soldiers. The princess brushed some hair out of her face and directed her hand thoughtfully to her chin. "Who was capable of doing that?"
"A so called super-saiyajin, my majesty. This being killed Cold and Frieza. Fortunately for us he was also killed due to the planets destruction, when the fight occurred. Rumors also imply that his powerlevel was over 100 million, which translates to roughly 9700 Toro in our calculating system."
"That's almost respectable." Keira snickered. She left her seat and walked past her subordinates, stretching her limbs and showing off her trained body in
the light royal armor, she wore.
'That smug brat... I will eventually find a way...with or without Takashi!' Susumu thought.
"Thats not everything. I also found out of the existence of the namekian wishing orbs. They possess the power to grant every wish imaginable.
As your tactical adviser, I suggest to seek them first and wish for some kind of infinite power for you, majesty. We can continue our conquest after that." Takashi reported.
"I like the sound of that, I can definitely see why my father gave you the job. You know your stuff, don't you?"
The Elite warrior didn't know how to reply to that. He finally broke the silence. "Follow me. I already organized a ship, I also got the coordinates of our destination: New Namek."
The trio left the club, making their way to the spacecraft. Susumu never left his dear princess out of sight. His stare composed of pure determination. 'No you won't! I am not going to be the Empires puppet any longer! I will personally take you witch down!'
