Frozen City, the capital of Planet Arcos, where the Icers race lives (or Frost Demons, as they're nicknamed
by many of the races they've enslaved). Right now, in the palace's chamber with the healing machines, we
can see Emperor Cold, serious expression and arms crossed, looking at his son, Freeza (or more precisely,
what is left of his son, Freeza), who's unconscious, floating in the liquid of one of the newest healing booths
in the market. Even this advanced model, though, will need its full capabilities to somewhat revive Freeza
after the damage he's suffered.
Suddenly, another person enters the room. It's Coola, the other son of the king. He stands next to his father.
-''Darn, he hasn't woken up yet'' he says annoyed.
Cold looks at him and smiles.
-''Heh, so you do care about your brother. I knew that, despite your constant fighting, there is brotherly
love...''
-''Don't speak nonsense, dad'' Coola abruptly interrupts him. ''I only want him to wake up so that he can tell
us who did this to him. Anyone strong enough to bring one of our clan to this condition must be
exterminated''.
-''Well, before, he mumbled in his sleep something about a Super Saiyan'' Cold informs.
-''A Super Saiyan?'' Coola cries in surprise. ''I thought that was just a stupid legend among the monkeys
Freeza was in charge of. But, judging from my brother's current condition, there might be a speck of
truth in that story''.
-''Anyway, until Freeza wakes up, we can only make speculations'' Cold comments.
-''No, dad, i won't wait till my worthless brother regains consciousness'' Coola impatiently says. ''I'll go
find that Super Saiyan right now''.
-''But, how?'' a surprised Cold asks. ''We don't have the slightest evidence about his whereabouts and...''
-''Here, you're wrong, dad'' Coola interrupts him. ''We do have some evidence. There were only three
Saiyans alive. Prince Vegeta and two servants of his. So, if there really is a Super Saiyan, the most likely
candidate to have fullfilled this prophecy...''
-''...is Vegeta'' Cold completes the sentence.
-''That's right'' Coola continues. ''Remember the last information we received from Namek, when Ginyu
Forces were called to go there? They said one of Freeza's men found Vegeta's pod and destroyed it, in
case the monkey tried to run away from Freeza's wrath. Freeza's spaceship was also damaged. So, if
Vegeta did become a Super Saiyan and beat my brother, the only way for him to escape the planet's
explosion...''
-''...would be Ginyu's pods'' Cold completes the sentence once more.
-''Precisely'' Coola continues. ''And those pods were programmed to automatically go to Yardrat, since
Ginyu and his men were in the middle of conquering it. So, this is where i'll start my investigation. Right
now, i'm taking some soldiers and the three elite warriors of my personal escort and leaving for Yardrat.
Even if i don't find the Legendary Super Saiyan, i'll at least complete the planet's conquest''.
-''Then, shall i come with you?'' Cold asks. ''If we find that Super Saiyan thing, we'll fight together...''
-''Father, why do you have so little faith in me?'' an annoyed Coola interrupts him. ''Just because my
worthless brother failed doesn't mean i'm also a failure. I'm going to beat the Super Saiyan by myself.
You can stay here and take care of Freeza till he regains consciousness''.
-''Hmf, fine, have it your way'' a smiling Cold says.
While Coola exits the room, he remembers...
Flashback (in this flashback, i imagined Freeza in his 4th form)...
In the palace's dining hall, we can see King Cold sitting, waiting for his family, so that they can have their
dinner. Freeza and Coola enter the room. They accidentally both try to sit on the same chair.
-''Hey, i was going to sit here'' Freeza protests.
-''Well, go fuck yourself, because i am going to sit here'' Coola says.
They lift the chair and start pulling it, trying to take it from each other. For a moment, Cold takes a gag
expression, looking at two of the strongest beings in the universe fighting like two normal teenage siblings
from some Nickeloddeon show. Finally, he loses his patience and glares the chair, causing it to explode.
-''Just sit somewhere'' he yells.
The two siblings gulp and obey. The king stands up.
-''Before we eat, i have something to announce you'' he says, in a casual tone. ''You've both come of age.
It's time for you to show me your worth. So, i'll give each of you a portion of my vast empire and, then,
we'll see which of you two will handle it better''.
-''Heh, no problem, dad, leave it all to me'' Coola says. ''Cause, if you expect anything from Freeza...''
-''WHAT? I dare you to say that again'' Freeza yells. ''I'm one thousand times better than you''.
-''I doubt you even know how to count to one thousand'' Coola retorts.
Freeza shows Coola his tongue, making a ''nyeh'' sound. Coola answers by doing the same. Cold facepalms
looking at his offsprings falling on the floor and fighting like cubs, despite their advanced martial arts skills.
End of flashback...
-''This is the day i've been expecting all these years'' Coola thinks. ''When i defeat the Super Saiyan, when
i succeed where my brother failed, our father will see who his son is''.
Yardrat's palace looks more like a military base. Right now, in a special room, we can see a sparring match
between Soba, the planet's strongest warrior, and Sushi, the planet's second strongest warrior. They stop.
-''Did you feel that?'' a confused Soba asks. ''A chi of unknown origin has shown up on our planet''.
-''Yes, it's a faint chi'' Sushi adds. ''It's not a threat...''
-''Don't draw hasty conclusions'' Soba scolds. ''I have a feeling he has way, way more that what we can feel
right now. Let's go and see...''
-''Ourselves? The Yardrat's elites?'' a surprised Sushi asks. ''Why don't we just send a few soldiers...''
-''No, we'll go ourselves'' Soba insists. ''I have a strange feeling''.
A crowd of Yardrats has gathered around the wrecked Goku, who greets them with a smile. Suddenly,
everyone moves aside and bows, surprised to see the Yardrat's royalty approaching.
-''Let's take him to the palace to give him the Yardrat's healing herbs'' Soba commands his top henchman.
-''Those herbs must be the Yardrat's version of senzus. Hail plot convienience'' Goku thinks.
-''Are you sure? We don't know what he might do if he gets back to full power'' a troubled Sushi says.
-''Trust my insticts'' Soba yells, making his henchman gulp and comply.
Later, in the palace, a healed Goku tells them his story.
-''You beat Freeza? Spare me the bull'' Sushi protests. ''Sure, you look powerful, but Freeza? Come on,
do you take us for idiots?''
Soba looks like he's contemplating.
-''Yes yes, i know there's no way i could've won the way i am now'' Goku explains. ''I transformed. Wanna
see? HAAA...''
To Goku's surprise, nothing happens. Sushi is looking, arms crossed and with an angry expression. Soba
once more doesn't make any comments. Goku laughs in embarassment and strokes the back of his head.
-''Err, hehe, i don't know how i did that back then...''
-''Ok, enough with your fairytales'' an annoyed Sushi says.
-''Sushi, that's enough'' Soba yells. He looks at Goku.
-''It's ok, lad, we don't care. You can stay here in the palace, even as you are now, you'll be an invaluable
sparring partner. Now, let me show you the place''.
The two Yardrat's elites take Goku to the palace's garden, where he sees a bunch of soldiers training in
synchronization.
-''Most people in our planet aren't really strong'' Soba explains to Goku. ''But, here, in the palace, the
warrior clan of our race sharpen their skills''.
-''Yes, these are totally different from the ones i met when i landed'' Goku thinks. ''Those had about the
same chi as Bulma. Well, at least when she's not enraged''.
Author's note...
Info about my fanfic's version of Yardrat. There are three types of residents.
Normal Yardrats: The majority of the race. They look like the pink creatures that found Goku...
. /revision/latest?cb=20100726001615
Yardrat Warriors: Goku said Yardrats aren't really strong, but i guess there must be some exceptions,
otherwise it'd make no sense for Freeza to send Ginyu Forces on that mission. I imagined Yardrat warriors
like another Yardrat image i found on the web. Here it is...
. /_cb20120131231129/dragonball/images/8/80/GreenYardrat%28DBO%
I imagined Sushi with the same appearance, but blue skin instead of green.
Soba: This is the strongest warrior on the planet, an ultra rare individual that looks like this...
. /revision/latest?cb=20091031052153
Actually, Soba appears in a video game and is supposed to be stronger than Freeza. Of course, in my
story, he's nowhere near that level; i'm trying to write something reasonable here.
