The sliding door opened and the soldier walked nervously into the dark room. He made his way to the base of the throne in fear. The being he was about to address tended to have that effect on people. After all, he was the tyrannical ruler of much of the universe. The soldier saluted him respectfully.
"K-king Cold sir, I have a m-message," The soldier said, clearly intimidated by the tyrant's presence.
Cold, who had been idly sipping a glass of wine on his throne, replied, "Well? Out with it, you stuttering mome!"
The soldier gulped. "The princes are ready for their test."
The King set down his wine glass. "Excellent," He turned to his pilot. "We are nearing the designated planet, no?"
"Yes sire, We should be arriving on planet Q-355 shortly."
A few minutes later, King Cold stepped out onto the barren planet, followed by his sons, Cooler and Frieza. The three frost demons definitely bore family resemblance. Cooler, the elder of the brothers, was muscular, with dark purple skin. He had bony, armor-like structures around his wrists and ankles, on his chest, and head. He also had a blue gem-like armor on the top of his head. The skin on the sides of his face were colored a dark red rather than purple.
Frieza had pale white skin, and a smaller and less muscular stature than his brother. His natural body armor was comprised solely by purple gem-like material; he lacked the bony armor Cooler had.
King Cold was in a repressed form rather than his true form, so he looked somewhat different than his children. He was much taller and more muscular than them, and had lavender skin. He had the same bony armor as Cooler, though much thicker. He bore gem-like armor on his head, blue-green in color. He also had two dark horns on his head. All three of them had long, pointed tails. One thing that this entire family shared was their eyes. They had the same cruel, red eyes.
"Now, my children, as you know I control an enormous empire, and you both will most definitely follow in my footsteps," Cold said, "However, only one of you can be my true heir."
He looked at his young princes sternly. "My heir shall be determined by a test of strength. The two of you must fight each other; As I watch I will judge who is more powerful, and more fit to be my heir. Are you ready?"
"Yes, father," the two brothers replied in unison.
"Well then, try not to kill each other," Cold chuckled, "You may begin."
The pair wasted no time. They immediately launched themselves at each other, and a split second later, their fists collided, rocking the planet. After this, they began to exchange vicious blows. They moved too fast for the untrained eye to see, as they moved across the planet in their bout. However, King Cold could follow every movement made by the two.
"Hehe, I can't begin to imagine the riches I'll obtain once I become heir," Frieza stated smugly, between attacks.
However, this arrogant boast caused the younger frost demon to lose some focus, which Cooler exploited. Cooler punched his brother in the stomach, causing him to wince in pain. He then whipped his tail across Frieza's face, knocking him to the ground. He hit the ground with such force from a high altitude that a massive crater formed around him.
Frieza floated out of the crater, furious. He yelled as he began to power up. As he focused his ki, his muscles began to bulge slightly.
"So, little brother is finally getting serious," Cooler thought to himself. He began to charge his ki as well, though his muscles didn't swell as his brother did. "Let's see how little Frieza handles my maximum… for this form anyways," Cooler thought as he put on the same smug grin as his brother.
Done powering up, Frieza shot a ki blast up at his older brother. In response, Cooler fired his own blast. The two ki blasts collided in a blinding flash of light. After the light died down, Cooler found that Frieza had flown up right in front of him. He had no time to react, as Frieza delivered a devastating punch to his jaw. He then prepared a jab to Cooler's stomach, however the older frost demon had recovered quickly and blocked the attack.
"Not bad, little brother," Cooler said, "But not good enough!" Cooler gave a powerful kick to his brother's chin, causing him to be pushed backwards a bit. He then knocked his younger brother to the ground yet again, and sent a large ki blast after him. This resulted in a crater that dwarfed the previous one in size.
Just as before, Frieza floated out of the crater. Bruised, the young frost demon faced his brother. After a few seconds of intense staring, Frieza began to laugh wickedly. "My dear brother," he said mockingly, "I'm greatly sorry to inform you that you have lost this little bout."
