Chapter - 9:
3:37 p.m
Shinja city, ship landing site
Team C and Electron continue to cut through the sky as they race back to the landing site of Frost's ship. As they near the site, Cee notices the ruins of a recently destroyed city below them.
"What happened down there?" he asks looking at the destruction below.
"There was a city here, so Frost had it destroyed." responds Electron. "It was in the way of the landing site."
"That's typical." says Cee. "So what is it that Frost wants this time?"
"He's called everyone together so he can brief us about our missions."
"In that case, I guess it's time to put everything into effect."
"Yeah, it's finally time."
They all reach the ship and land. Once inside Electron takes them down the winding halls to Frost's chambers. Inside, the other teams that Frost called on were already waiting. The teams assembled were to be the main force in repelling the attack of Earth's armies, looking for the dragonballs and especially fighting off Goku and the others. Frost had expected that there might be some heavy resistance when they landed, and since he decided to cut off from his main fleet and land his ship ahead on Earth before the rest of his fleet, he brought all the strongest fighters he had to keep Goku at bay in case he should attack and enough troops to hold off the Earth's army until the rest of his fleet arrived. The fighters assembled were in fact a pretty impressive group on their own. There was of course Commander Cee and Team C, who Earth's fighters already had the privillage of meeting, Electron who was leading Fireball, Channel, Icer and Onyx, who were half of the New Ginyu Force, the Assassins who were Frost's personal team, and finally the Turles Corp led by Turles. They were some of the last remaining saiyans that survived the destruction of Vegeta. Along with the teams were Captain Zayus who was captain of the ship and it's crew, a warrior named Dusty who was in charge of the second ship that landed with Frost's main ship, and a small handful of other soldiers were gathered there as well. As Cee walks in he isn't the least bit surprised to see Isicle standing by Frost's side.
"Ahhh, Commander Cee, so nice of you to join us. So how was your encounter with Goku and his friends?" asks Frost as Team C takes their place.
"Well, they are strong, but still are no match for us. I assure you they will pose no threat to us and Frieza's plans for this planet."
"That's good to know, and did you find out the where abouts of the dragonballs?"
"No sir, as expected, Goku refused to tell."
"Hmmm, well the dragonballs aren't our main concern at the moment anyways. They can wait."
"Huh? They're not?" asks Levi, the leader of the Assassins. He was a mysterious fighter dressed in an all black body suit. No one has ever seen his face due to the mask that covers it. The only facial features to be seen are his eyes and his hair that dangles from a hole in the back of his mask. He was joined by Angel, Mouth, Jimmard and Bronx, the other members of the Assassins. They were all ruthless cut-throats that were known for doing all the dirty work for Frost. Every mission they ever accepted they always got it done by any means neccesary, no matter how difficult it was or who they were up against. Cee really didn't care for them, in fact he really didn't care for anybody there except for his comrades.
"No, our main concern for the time being is securing a landing zone for the arrival of Frieza. Once this has been established then we are to plant the tree of might. Frieza won't be landing for a few days, so we can wait on gathering the dragonballs for now. However we can not put off planting the tree of might, so Turles, I'm sure you and your team can handle planting it."
"Yes sir, we shall have it planted by tonight. I can assure you that you can put your faith in me and my team."
Cee scoffed under his breath. 'What a suck-up.' he thought watching Turles give his salute.
"Very good, with the tree planted then it will only be a matter of time before it bears it's first fruit. If everything goes according to schedule then the harvest shall be ready when Frieza lands. Turles you have yet to disappoint me, make sure you stay that way." Frost said giving the saiyan a glare. "Now Electron, your task is to take the New Ginyu Force to collect the dragonballs once we recieve the dragon scouters. The other ships should be arriving within the day."
"Yes sir, we won't let you down."
"Good. Now Dusty, it is your job to have your infantry units secure this landing site no matter what. We can not have the Earthlings or any others snooping around here. Captain Zayus, I want you to stay monitoring the rest of my fleet as well as General Isicle's. Notify us when they are within Earth's orbit."
Dusty and Zayus responded back with a salute.
"Now Levi, you're in charge of seeking out Goku's hiding place and bringing him before us. You may do it any way you please, but remember, do not kill him."
"Not kill him?" Angel blurted out, "What about his friends?"
"You may do as you like with them. Frieza only wants Goku alive at any cost, understand?"
"Yes Frost." Levi answered.
"Now Commander, you and your team will guard this ship and the others once they arrive. Should Goku and his friends try to attack, eliminate them. We can not have any endangerment of this mission, things must go according to plan. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir." says Cee.
"If you need, all men under my command are now under your command as well, including the teams here."
"I appreciate your generousity sir, but after my encounter with Goku's friends my team should be more than enough for..."
"Frost sir!" a voice calls out interupting Cee. Everyone's attention is momentarily diverted to a young man rushing into the room.
"This had better be important for interupting this meeting Erron." Frost said.
"Uh, it is sir. Radars have picked up a small group heading in this direction. We have reason to believe it's a small army of some kind. Perhaps the station we encountered before landing here warned them of our arrival."
"What, an army is coming?" asks Isicle, almost shocked at the fact the Earth would send an army to fight. "What do they hope to accomplish against us?"
"How long until it arrives?" asks Frost.
"They should be arriving in an hour or two."
"Sir, shall I prepare the infantry for battle?" asked Dusty.
"Yes. We'll have a little surprise waiting for the earthlings when they arrive." Frost said with an evil grin. "You know how to handle this Dusty."
"Consider it taken care of." Dusty says saluting before he exits.
"Very well, you all have recieved your orders." says Frost as he turns towards the groups of teams. "Now carry them out, and remember, Frieza isn't the only one who doesn't like to be disappointed!"
"YES SIR!" everyone says as they salute before exiting the room.
"This is it, Kimika I want you to mobilize all units, including our artillery and the C.A.T's for combat. We're expecting to have some visitors in a while." Dusty said as he entered the main room for the second ship that landed, the troops and weapons ship.
"We're already going into battle? We haven't even been on this planet that long." Kimika remarked back.
"Yeah I know, but these earthlings have been able to track us down somehow. Erron was able to spot a small army on radar and they should be showing up here within the next hour or so."
"A small army? Then why all the fuss?"
Dusty looked to his side to see Reeve come out of one of the doors, brushing a hand through his brown hair to get it away from his eyes.
"Because Reeve, we don't exactly know what these earthlings are capable of. Cee wants to make sure that we have no interuptions on our mission, we can not afford to fail this time."
"Eh, I still think you're overdoing it a little by getting everything you've got ready. I mean, shouldn't the infantry and the C.A.T's be enough to handle a small army?"
"Amazons are always safe than sorry." Kimika said. "Besides we've given our word to Cee that we won't fail. We owe the commander our lives and we won't let him down on this mission."
"You amazons are something else." Reeve said with a chuckle. Kimika was right after all, both she and Dusty were some of the last remaining amazons from planet Alexia, Cee's home planet.
"But yeah, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get everything ready, you know, just in case."
Dusty nodded, "Then have your men on standby for now, I'll get Erron and we'll get the infantry ready. Kim, you notify the hanger to have the C.A.T's and the mecs armed and fueled. It's time to show these earthlings we mean business."
4:00 p.m
Hikawa shrine
"Everysince the specticle in the sky, some kind of space explosion perhaps, happened about forty minutes ago we've been getting reports from all over stating that u.f.o's of some kind have been spotted over Shinja city. Some local residents have been sent into a sea of panic and word is being spread that an army convoy has been spotted on the move, presumably towards the city. There is still no word as to what's going on over there, the city itself seems to have been erased from Japan, all contacts there have been lost. I for one folks am determined to get some answers to this so keep sharp watch on our station as I continue coverage by taking a crew to the city of Shinja to find out what's really going on there."
Shawn turned off the t.v and sighed. "What is going on?" he wondered to himself. He was trying to put things together, first he sees Rei and the others outside looking at the sky when he first saw those five red dots. After that the girls suddenly leave without saying a word and when they came back Darien was with them and they all looked a little, well, a little depressed. Now there's these reports of u.f.o's being seen everywhere not to mention that weird explosion in the sky. For the time being he didn't know what to think anymore, in fact he was getting tired of it. He decided he needed to get out of his room and did so, walking by the meditation room.
'Still closed.' he thought walking by. When the girls came back they immediately locked themselves up in there and to Shawn's knowledge haven't come out since. He started to get another bad feeling about things. He hated it when that happened. Giving his head a shake to clear his thoughts he kept on walking by.
'I wonder what Grandpa Hino and Eiji are up to.'
Inside the meditation room the girls along with Darien, and Luna and Artemis who had stayed behind when the girls left, were gathered around the fire yet again. Rei had been trying to find out more information not only about the enemies they encountered earlier but also about the other group that fought with them, the Z-warriors.
"Anything yet?" Lita asked. Out of everyone she was the most impatient to find out more. She really wanted to get back at them for calling her weak and useless.
"No not yet. I'm having a hard time trying to find anything. The whole balance seems to be off now. It feels like there's some huge disturbance all around us. It's really making things difficult."
"Well don't over exert yourself Rei. We don't want you getting hurt." Ami warned.
"Don't worry, I'll fine."
"I can't believe the things they said to us." grumbles Serena. "They didn't have to be so mean about it."
"Yeah I can't wait to see them again and see the look on their faces when we show them just how 'weak' we are. Those jerks."
"What I would like to know is why haven't we heard about them before?" Luna asked. "Don't you find it a little bit strange?"
"Well I just assumed they were super soldiers or something. If you had seen the way they were moving around the place, they were almost as strong as those guys we faced." Serena said.
"But they did say so themselves they weren't soldiers." Darien said.
"Sweety, did you think that if they really were top secret governmental bio genetic enhanced humanoid soldier people they'd tell us?"
"Actually, maybe we have heard of them before we just didn't know it." Artemis said.
"Huh? And what do you mean by that?" asked Serena.
"Well, Mina you said one of them mentioned that they knew about the time the Dark moon family attacked, except that they thought it was some kind of millitary deal right?"
"Yeah that's right." Mina responded.
"Well, perhaps we've heard about something that involved them from the past, just that like them, we thought it was a millitary issue to."
"What? No way." Lita remarked overhearing the conversation.
"Well, it doesn't sound that farfetched." said Ami.
"Yes I must admit Artemis, that is a possibillity." Luna said.
"So all we have to do is think about what we've heard in the past that didn't involve us." Serena said.
"But there has been quite a commotion going on lately with the millitary and the federation." Ami said again. "With all the fighting going on the news always says that it's a millitary issue. Even though this is an era of peace it still seems that the fighting won't ever end."
"Yeah all the things I can think of that happend these past few years have always involved the millitary in some way." Mina added.
"Even so let's try to think. There has to be some incident we could recognize them from." Luna said. Everyone thought for a moment, cept for Rei who was still praying by the fire. It was pretty hard to point something out to link the Z-warriors to, there was the attack on Colony-99, the brief Alliance battle between the americans and the group of mutants who were sent down from one of the rogue colonies, the incident involving some freak insects that turned out to be some government science conspiracy and the brief battle in the artic that people claimed was an alien attack but later was proven to be yet another failed attempt from the Federation. All of which were taken care of by the millitary.
"Wait." Darien said thinking of something, "I think I got something. Remember that time from a few years back when it was all over the news about two mysterious pods landing in one of the japanese districts which was later destroyed?"
"I remember that, everybody that saw the news report kept talking about it months after it happend." commented Lita.
"That's right, nobody could figure out what was going on, some said it was an actually alien attack and others claimed it was some millitary ordeal again." added Ami.
"Exactly. There was also that strange group of fighters that appeared and fought with them before the broadcast was stopped."
"Yeah, YEAH! That green guy that was there back then, he was there today to!" blurted out Serena.
"So then you think the guys we ran into today were some of the ones from back then to?" asked Mina.
"Had to have been. That would explain everything." Lita said snapping her fingers. "Yeah know we know who they are!"
"Wait don't you think we're coming to conclusions a little too early?" Luna asked. "Didn't they clarify that battle as another federation attack?"
"But Luna it does make sense, after all these guys moved around just like those did plus the fact that that green guy was deffinately one of them." stated Serena.
"Serena does have a good point." Ami said.
"So all we need to do now is find them and get the truth out of them!" Lita said.
"Ok, well even if these are the same people from back then, just how exactly are we going to find them?" Artemis asked.
The room became silent for a minute.
"Um, well, I don't know." Lita mumbled. Artemis just sighed.
"Everyone, I think I found something." Rei said surprising everyone. During the whole discusion on things they almost forgot she was still praying by the fire.
"What is it?" Mina asked.
"I, I think I know where those five fighters are at."
"The five fighters?" asked Serena.
"That's right. We were so overcome with finding out who that other group of people were we almost forgot the real threat at hand." commented Ami.
"Yeah, the deal with those five people in those pods." Mina said.
"Right. We should focus on the real threat instead of getting sidetracked on things." Luna scolded. "We can't let other matters get in the way of what's going on."
"Luna's right, first things first. So what did you learn?" Artemis asked.
"It was their energy that was throwing off the balance of things. I think I've managed to locate the center of it though, and if I'm correct then that would be somewhere at Shinja city."
"Shinja city? What could they want from there?" Darien asked.
"I can't figure that out yet, but I do think we should turn on the t.v."
"Huh?" Serena blurted. "What for?"
"Because, if they're over there then it's sure to be on the news don't you think?"
4:45 p.m.
Goku's house
Upon returning back to the house everyone was able to get healed back to normal with the help of some senzu beans Goku had around the house. After some quick explaining to Chi-chi and the Ox king about what happened, everyone has gathered around the table and are trying to make sense of the situation at hand.
"So what do you think they're after?" Gohan asked.
"If Frieza is in on this, you can bet it's about the dragonballs." answered Yamcha.
"Great, it's bad enough Garlic Jr. became immortal, but Frieza?" Krillin said.
"Yeah that's got bad news written all over it." Chiaotzu said.
"I'm really sorry guys, I thought everything was over on Namek. I never thought anything like this would happen."
"Don't blame yourself like that Goku. You didn't know, it's not your fault." Piccolo said. He was leaning up against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Well what I want to know is, what do we do now?" asks Tien. "How are we going to defeat those guys let alone keep the dragonballs away from them?"
"I don't know, we did get the crap beat out of us by that Team C after all." Alex mumbled. He rested his head on the table and Yumi ran her hand through his hair to sooth him. She knew the poor guy was a nervous wreck and she didn't blame him. After all they went through she wasn't exactly feeling in tip top shape herself.
"And what's the deal with that Frost guy that one dude mentioned about?" asks Cody. "If he's here on the planet then not only do we have that team to deal with but that other guy as well."
"Things are just getting out of hand." Krillin mumbled. He took a sip of tea Chichi had made for everyone. "We're really in a fix this time."
"Come on Krillin don't sound so down." Chiaotzu said.
"Well I don't see anything to be cheerful about." he mumbled back.
"I for one refuse to give up." Ryan said. "I'm fighting to the end. After those guys are delt with, Vegeta will be next."
"Oh think about what you're saying Ryan! You saw how powerful those people were we can't fight them again, we're just not strong enough!" Alex blurted out.
"No you think about what you're saying! We can't be giving up like this, it's not an option! We have to fight back!"
"Ryan calm down, we need to get things together first before we do anything." Zaria said trying to calm down her brother.
"Are you guys really sure there's something we can do?" asked Yamcha. He kept starring into his cup of tea.
"There has to be something. We can't just give up like this!" Gohan said.
"Yeah the kid's right. We can think of something." Yumi encouraged.
"I wish there was something we could do, but this time I'm afraid there might not be." says Goku.
"GOKU, you can't posibly mean that!" Piccolo says stuned to hear Goku doubt himself. All the Z-warriors are shocked to hear Goku say this as well. As long as they have known him, Goku has never given up on anything.
"No Goku, you can't, you can't be serious." mumbles Tien.
"Dad, what do you mean? I don't understand."
"You're, giving up?" Yamcha asked.
"I can't believe what I'm hearing, we're just going to hand over the planet just because we lost one little fight?" stated Ryan. "That's bullshit!"
"Lost one little fight? We barely got out of there with our lives!" Alex shouted. "I agree with Goku, what can we do? We were fighting at full strength and it looked like they were just toying with us the whole time."
"Well doing anything is better than doing nothing."
"Well Ryan if you have any ideas feel free to share them." Cody said.
"I've got something." Zaria said setting down her cup. "Okay, so those guys might be able to beat us when it comes to brute strength but that doesn't mean they'll beat us when it comes to thinking."
"Thinking?"
"Yes she's right. The only alternative is to fight stratigically now. If we can't win head on then it'll have to be a battle between minds." stated Piccolo.
"Yeah you see Dad, we can just out think them."
"I just, I just don't know." Goku mumbled. The room grew silent again. The others had never seen him like this. They'd never seen Goku doubt himself, they'd never seen him.....afraid.
"Dad."
"What is it that you know Goku? Why are you doubting yourself like this?" Ryan asked. He wanted some answers now, he knew Goku found something out otherwise he wouldn't be acting like this. He kept looking at him waiting for a response, but Goku seemed to be staring into space again.
"Ahem. It really sounds like you guys are having a tough time here. Perhaps I can be of some help then."
Everyone looks around the room trying to figure out where that voice came from, but Goku knows exactly who it is.
"What was that?" asks Yumi.
"I hear him, but I don't see him." Cody said looking around.
"King Kai is that you?"asks Goku.
"The one and only. I've been listening to your conversation and it sounds like you're really in a pickle." King Kai responds telepathically from his planet in other world.
"What's a King Kai?" wonders Yumi scratching her head.
"He's the one who taught me in other world." answers Goku.
"Ah I gotcha, the blue cricket thingy that tells corny jokes." she said, "Where's he at? I don't see him anywhere."
"He's talking to us telepathically." states Piccolo.
"Tele-what?" asks Cody.
"Telepathy", Zaria says, "He's talking to us through our minds and can hear what we're saying."
"Ah."
"Wait he can hear us?"
"Yes. I can." King Kai grumbled. The corny joke remark got to him.
"Ah! Haha, whoops, sorry!" apologizes Yumi and Cody.
"Anyways, indeed you do have your work cut out for you but all is not entirely hopeless. There is still a chance."
"Huh? How so?" asks Yamcha.
"Well from what I know so far Frieza is still off in space somewhere. There's still a while until he reaches the planet so you don't have to worry yourself about him just yet."
"What about this new guy called Frost?" asks Chiaotzu.
"Let's see here, Frost and Isicle are two of Frieza's most powerful generals of the Empire. The two of them are of the same race as Frieza, but they're not as strong as him."
"Not as strong. Well I guess there should be some comfort there." Tien said.
"Well what about Team C? They made mince-meat out of us earlier." Krillin says.
"Indeed they are strong, some of Frieza's strongest men. However they're not unbeatable." King Kai says.
"So what do we do?" Cody asks.
"Hmm, so far from what I can gather they appear to be after the dragonballs. Not only that but Frieza wants revenge for what happened on Namek. I think he intends to turn the Earth into one of his bases. He's managed to assemble a mighty space armada to invade the planet and he's brought with him some of the most powerful fighters in all the universe."
"Oh is that all?" Alex says sarcastically.
"Actually thats not the worst part, Frieza is coming here with his brother."
"WHAT?!" all the Z-warriors shout out at once. "FRIEZA HAS A BROTHER!?"
"King Kai, you never told me he had a brother." Goku says.
"Well, truthfully, I wasn't sure he had another one myself." King Kai says with some nervous laughter.
"WAIT! DID HE JUST SAY 'ANOTHER ONE'?!" shouts out Yamcha.
"YOU MEAN FRIEZA HAS TWO BROTHERS?!" asks Krillin.
"Yes, you mean you didn't know about the other one?" asks King Kai.
Everybody goes into a state of shock. Two brothers, that was way over everyone's heads.
"Heh, heh.....whoops." King Kai can only say.
"This news just keeps getting better and better." says Krillin.
"So just exactly how are we going to beat all these guys if there're so many and they're so strong?" Alex asks.
"Well you're on the right track with fighting strategically for now. I just wish I could offer you some advice on this one, but I'm just as stumped as you. The main objective would seem to be stopping Frost's men from gathering all seven dragonballs before Frieza arrives."
"It's okay King Kai, you've helped us by telling us what's going on." Goku said. "I'm sure we can figure things out on our own from here on."
"Alright. In that case I'll try to figure out what I can from these guys, but in the mean time you all take care of yourselves and each other. I fear this battle has only just begun." King Kai says before cutting off. There is a small moment of silence between everyone. The news of Frieza coming to Earth with a space fleet to take it over was bad, but learning that Frieza had two brothers was too much to handle.
"Man this sucks." Cody finally said breaking the silence. "This sucks a big one."
"We're dead. It's that simple. We're all dead." Alex says resting his head back on the table.
"Oh come on you guys can't be giving up already." Ryan scolds.
"Come on Ryan, you remember the stories we heard about Frieza don't you? He seems like a bad-ass, but now there's two more just like him. That's Frieza times three! Three times the badness!" Alex says.
"Wait, Goku beat him once he can beat him again can't you Goku?" Yamcha asks with high hopes.
"But Goku barely took on Frieza, I don't even know if he can take on two Frieza's at once let alone three." Tien says bringing Yamcha's spirits crashing down.
"Tien's right. Even as a super saiyan I'm not even sure myself if I can handle Frieza and his brother. But we don't have to worry about that right now. Like King Kai said they won't be here until a couple of days so what we really need to do is find out how to prevent Frost from gathering the rest of the dragonballs."
"So now the only question is how are we going to get them before they do?"
"I guess this is were the thinking comes in." states Yumi.
"I can't believe we're going to go through with this." Alex mumbles to himself.
"Well look at it this way, if we can get all the balls before they can we won't even have to fight them, we can just wish for them to go away or something." Yumi said again putting a hand on Alex's shoulder.
"You think the dragon cant grant that wish?"
"Sure why not? The only way we'll find out is once we summon him." Yamcha said.
"Alright we have a new plan. First we focus on collecting all seven balls then we'll think about Frost, Team C and Frieza and his brothers." Goku said. "Now we have to go to Bulma's to get the dragon radar."
"You don't think those guys have a dragon radar of their own do you?" Alex asks.
"They shouldn't. The only reason Frieza was able to get the dragonballs on Namek was because they used their scouters to locate the namek villages since they he knew the nameks were hiding the balls there." says Gohan recalling his trip to the planet. "Since the balls are spread all over the planet I'm sure they'll have a much tougher time finding them."
"We just have to remember to keep our energy down. Remember that you guys." Goku says looking at Ryan, Zaria, Cody Yumi and Alex. Since they were the new members of the group they had no experiance against Frieza's men and had no idea what their scouters could do. "If you put out too much energy then their scouters will pick you up."
"Don't worry about us, we'll be careful." Ryan says.
"Alright now we got ourselves a plan." says Yumi. "We can do..."
"Hey, I don't mean to butt in or anything." says Chi-chi walking into the kitchen, "But I think you should watch this."
"What is it?" asks Goku.
"There's something on the television about some spaceships and and army."
"Space ships?" says Tien.
"Army?" Yamcha adds.
Everyone rushes to the living room where Chi-chi and the Ox king are and look at the t.v.
"I'm here reporting live as Neo Japan's army prepares to attack the alien ships that have recently landed." a t.v reporter says, riding along in a news helicopter as an army strolls through the remains of Shinja city down below. As planned by the president of the Alliance, a call was made to the ambassador of Neo Japan to warn him of the alien ships that were due to land. It was planned that the troops from Area 4-20 would be flown over to Neo Japan to confront the menance head on, but upon refusing the help of the Americans, the Ambassador had requested that Japan's army attack the ships instead of waiting for 4-20's arrival. General Bob didn't like that at all, his orders where straight from the Alliance capitol. But the ambassador refused to wait for his troops to arrive. General Bob knew that sending Japan's army ahead was just suicide for them, more wasted lives. But it was too late to do anything now, the army was already on the way to battle the ships. The fate of all the soldier's lives had been sealed. All the General and his men could do for now was wait for the outcome of the battle.
"It has been confirmed that only two ships have landed and are responsible for the destruction of the city and it's nearby surroundings. This news has sent some people into a panic, however, all worries will be gone in a few minutes as the army will destroy the ships and rid us of these threatening menances."
"The fools, they don't know what they're doing." says Tien watching the t.v.
They continue to watch the coverage as the army continues their trek across the destroyed city. In the distance the ships become visable over the dust that's filling the air.
"We're aproaching the ships now, I'm sure you can see them in the distance. Frankly, this reporter will be happy when this is all over."
Outside of Frost's ships Cee, Turles, Levi, Electron and Dusty watch the cloud of dust in the distance getting closer. Now it would only be a matter of minutes before Earth's army arrives, and Cee had to make sure preperation would be ready.
"Since the Earth's army is attacking there's a good chance Goku might use it as a diversion to attack the ships, so Levi, before any of your men begin their search for Goku's base I want them to be on standby should Goku arrive. If by chance any one of his friends should escape this time, follow them back to their base. I know Goku is hiding those dragonballs."
"Right." Levi said, turning around to walk back into the ship.
"Turles, I think it would be wise for you to plant the tree now before we get anymore interuptions."
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about the tree, Commander. Just because you're in charge of this operation that doesn't make you any better. My team will get the job done, unlike yours." says Turles glaring at Cee with Cee returning the glare.
"Almez, I want you to take the others to plant the tree." Turles says, turning to walk inside the ship.
"Yes master Turles." Almez responds from the main opening.
"Those saiyans really get on my nerves." mumbles Cee.
"Eh, don't let him get to you." Electron says. "Let's just focus on putting this army out of the way for now so we can get the prize."
"So I take it the Ginyu Force is all set?"
"Good to go."
"And Dusty, is your army ready?"
"They're all set." he responds.
"Good."
They all look back at the cloud, knowing that in only a matter of minutes the army would reach the ships.
"Poor fools," Cee begins, "They're just throwing their lives away trying to attack us."
3:37 p.m
Shinja city, ship landing site
Team C and Electron continue to cut through the sky as they race back to the landing site of Frost's ship. As they near the site, Cee notices the ruins of a recently destroyed city below them.
"What happened down there?" he asks looking at the destruction below.
"There was a city here, so Frost had it destroyed." responds Electron. "It was in the way of the landing site."
"That's typical." says Cee. "So what is it that Frost wants this time?"
"He's called everyone together so he can brief us about our missions."
"In that case, I guess it's time to put everything into effect."
"Yeah, it's finally time."
They all reach the ship and land. Once inside Electron takes them down the winding halls to Frost's chambers. Inside, the other teams that Frost called on were already waiting. The teams assembled were to be the main force in repelling the attack of Earth's armies, looking for the dragonballs and especially fighting off Goku and the others. Frost had expected that there might be some heavy resistance when they landed, and since he decided to cut off from his main fleet and land his ship ahead on Earth before the rest of his fleet, he brought all the strongest fighters he had to keep Goku at bay in case he should attack and enough troops to hold off the Earth's army until the rest of his fleet arrived. The fighters assembled were in fact a pretty impressive group on their own. There was of course Commander Cee and Team C, who Earth's fighters already had the privillage of meeting, Electron who was leading Fireball, Channel, Icer and Onyx, who were half of the New Ginyu Force, the Assassins who were Frost's personal team, and finally the Turles Corp led by Turles. They were some of the last remaining saiyans that survived the destruction of Vegeta. Along with the teams were Captain Zayus who was captain of the ship and it's crew, a warrior named Dusty who was in charge of the second ship that landed with Frost's main ship, and a small handful of other soldiers were gathered there as well. As Cee walks in he isn't the least bit surprised to see Isicle standing by Frost's side.
"Ahhh, Commander Cee, so nice of you to join us. So how was your encounter with Goku and his friends?" asks Frost as Team C takes their place.
"Well, they are strong, but still are no match for us. I assure you they will pose no threat to us and Frieza's plans for this planet."
"That's good to know, and did you find out the where abouts of the dragonballs?"
"No sir, as expected, Goku refused to tell."
"Hmmm, well the dragonballs aren't our main concern at the moment anyways. They can wait."
"Huh? They're not?" asks Levi, the leader of the Assassins. He was a mysterious fighter dressed in an all black body suit. No one has ever seen his face due to the mask that covers it. The only facial features to be seen are his eyes and his hair that dangles from a hole in the back of his mask. He was joined by Angel, Mouth, Jimmard and Bronx, the other members of the Assassins. They were all ruthless cut-throats that were known for doing all the dirty work for Frost. Every mission they ever accepted they always got it done by any means neccesary, no matter how difficult it was or who they were up against. Cee really didn't care for them, in fact he really didn't care for anybody there except for his comrades.
"No, our main concern for the time being is securing a landing zone for the arrival of Frieza. Once this has been established then we are to plant the tree of might. Frieza won't be landing for a few days, so we can wait on gathering the dragonballs for now. However we can not put off planting the tree of might, so Turles, I'm sure you and your team can handle planting it."
"Yes sir, we shall have it planted by tonight. I can assure you that you can put your faith in me and my team."
Cee scoffed under his breath. 'What a suck-up.' he thought watching Turles give his salute.
"Very good, with the tree planted then it will only be a matter of time before it bears it's first fruit. If everything goes according to schedule then the harvest shall be ready when Frieza lands. Turles you have yet to disappoint me, make sure you stay that way." Frost said giving the saiyan a glare. "Now Electron, your task is to take the New Ginyu Force to collect the dragonballs once we recieve the dragon scouters. The other ships should be arriving within the day."
"Yes sir, we won't let you down."
"Good. Now Dusty, it is your job to have your infantry units secure this landing site no matter what. We can not have the Earthlings or any others snooping around here. Captain Zayus, I want you to stay monitoring the rest of my fleet as well as General Isicle's. Notify us when they are within Earth's orbit."
Dusty and Zayus responded back with a salute.
"Now Levi, you're in charge of seeking out Goku's hiding place and bringing him before us. You may do it any way you please, but remember, do not kill him."
"Not kill him?" Angel blurted out, "What about his friends?"
"You may do as you like with them. Frieza only wants Goku alive at any cost, understand?"
"Yes Frost." Levi answered.
"Now Commander, you and your team will guard this ship and the others once they arrive. Should Goku and his friends try to attack, eliminate them. We can not have any endangerment of this mission, things must go according to plan. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir." says Cee.
"If you need, all men under my command are now under your command as well, including the teams here."
"I appreciate your generousity sir, but after my encounter with Goku's friends my team should be more than enough for..."
"Frost sir!" a voice calls out interupting Cee. Everyone's attention is momentarily diverted to a young man rushing into the room.
"This had better be important for interupting this meeting Erron." Frost said.
"Uh, it is sir. Radars have picked up a small group heading in this direction. We have reason to believe it's a small army of some kind. Perhaps the station we encountered before landing here warned them of our arrival."
"What, an army is coming?" asks Isicle, almost shocked at the fact the Earth would send an army to fight. "What do they hope to accomplish against us?"
"How long until it arrives?" asks Frost.
"They should be arriving in an hour or two."
"Sir, shall I prepare the infantry for battle?" asked Dusty.
"Yes. We'll have a little surprise waiting for the earthlings when they arrive." Frost said with an evil grin. "You know how to handle this Dusty."
"Consider it taken care of." Dusty says saluting before he exits.
"Very well, you all have recieved your orders." says Frost as he turns towards the groups of teams. "Now carry them out, and remember, Frieza isn't the only one who doesn't like to be disappointed!"
"YES SIR!" everyone says as they salute before exiting the room.
"This is it, Kimika I want you to mobilize all units, including our artillery and the C.A.T's for combat. We're expecting to have some visitors in a while." Dusty said as he entered the main room for the second ship that landed, the troops and weapons ship.
"We're already going into battle? We haven't even been on this planet that long." Kimika remarked back.
"Yeah I know, but these earthlings have been able to track us down somehow. Erron was able to spot a small army on radar and they should be showing up here within the next hour or so."
"A small army? Then why all the fuss?"
Dusty looked to his side to see Reeve come out of one of the doors, brushing a hand through his brown hair to get it away from his eyes.
"Because Reeve, we don't exactly know what these earthlings are capable of. Cee wants to make sure that we have no interuptions on our mission, we can not afford to fail this time."
"Eh, I still think you're overdoing it a little by getting everything you've got ready. I mean, shouldn't the infantry and the C.A.T's be enough to handle a small army?"
"Amazons are always safe than sorry." Kimika said. "Besides we've given our word to Cee that we won't fail. We owe the commander our lives and we won't let him down on this mission."
"You amazons are something else." Reeve said with a chuckle. Kimika was right after all, both she and Dusty were some of the last remaining amazons from planet Alexia, Cee's home planet.
"But yeah, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get everything ready, you know, just in case."
Dusty nodded, "Then have your men on standby for now, I'll get Erron and we'll get the infantry ready. Kim, you notify the hanger to have the C.A.T's and the mecs armed and fueled. It's time to show these earthlings we mean business."
4:00 p.m
Hikawa shrine
"Everysince the specticle in the sky, some kind of space explosion perhaps, happened about forty minutes ago we've been getting reports from all over stating that u.f.o's of some kind have been spotted over Shinja city. Some local residents have been sent into a sea of panic and word is being spread that an army convoy has been spotted on the move, presumably towards the city. There is still no word as to what's going on over there, the city itself seems to have been erased from Japan, all contacts there have been lost. I for one folks am determined to get some answers to this so keep sharp watch on our station as I continue coverage by taking a crew to the city of Shinja to find out what's really going on there."
Shawn turned off the t.v and sighed. "What is going on?" he wondered to himself. He was trying to put things together, first he sees Rei and the others outside looking at the sky when he first saw those five red dots. After that the girls suddenly leave without saying a word and when they came back Darien was with them and they all looked a little, well, a little depressed. Now there's these reports of u.f.o's being seen everywhere not to mention that weird explosion in the sky. For the time being he didn't know what to think anymore, in fact he was getting tired of it. He decided he needed to get out of his room and did so, walking by the meditation room.
'Still closed.' he thought walking by. When the girls came back they immediately locked themselves up in there and to Shawn's knowledge haven't come out since. He started to get another bad feeling about things. He hated it when that happened. Giving his head a shake to clear his thoughts he kept on walking by.
'I wonder what Grandpa Hino and Eiji are up to.'
Inside the meditation room the girls along with Darien, and Luna and Artemis who had stayed behind when the girls left, were gathered around the fire yet again. Rei had been trying to find out more information not only about the enemies they encountered earlier but also about the other group that fought with them, the Z-warriors.
"Anything yet?" Lita asked. Out of everyone she was the most impatient to find out more. She really wanted to get back at them for calling her weak and useless.
"No not yet. I'm having a hard time trying to find anything. The whole balance seems to be off now. It feels like there's some huge disturbance all around us. It's really making things difficult."
"Well don't over exert yourself Rei. We don't want you getting hurt." Ami warned.
"Don't worry, I'll fine."
"I can't believe the things they said to us." grumbles Serena. "They didn't have to be so mean about it."
"Yeah I can't wait to see them again and see the look on their faces when we show them just how 'weak' we are. Those jerks."
"What I would like to know is why haven't we heard about them before?" Luna asked. "Don't you find it a little bit strange?"
"Well I just assumed they were super soldiers or something. If you had seen the way they were moving around the place, they were almost as strong as those guys we faced." Serena said.
"But they did say so themselves they weren't soldiers." Darien said.
"Sweety, did you think that if they really were top secret governmental bio genetic enhanced humanoid soldier people they'd tell us?"
"Actually, maybe we have heard of them before we just didn't know it." Artemis said.
"Huh? And what do you mean by that?" asked Serena.
"Well, Mina you said one of them mentioned that they knew about the time the Dark moon family attacked, except that they thought it was some kind of millitary deal right?"
"Yeah that's right." Mina responded.
"Well, perhaps we've heard about something that involved them from the past, just that like them, we thought it was a millitary issue to."
"What? No way." Lita remarked overhearing the conversation.
"Well, it doesn't sound that farfetched." said Ami.
"Yes I must admit Artemis, that is a possibillity." Luna said.
"So all we have to do is think about what we've heard in the past that didn't involve us." Serena said.
"But there has been quite a commotion going on lately with the millitary and the federation." Ami said again. "With all the fighting going on the news always says that it's a millitary issue. Even though this is an era of peace it still seems that the fighting won't ever end."
"Yeah all the things I can think of that happend these past few years have always involved the millitary in some way." Mina added.
"Even so let's try to think. There has to be some incident we could recognize them from." Luna said. Everyone thought for a moment, cept for Rei who was still praying by the fire. It was pretty hard to point something out to link the Z-warriors to, there was the attack on Colony-99, the brief Alliance battle between the americans and the group of mutants who were sent down from one of the rogue colonies, the incident involving some freak insects that turned out to be some government science conspiracy and the brief battle in the artic that people claimed was an alien attack but later was proven to be yet another failed attempt from the Federation. All of which were taken care of by the millitary.
"Wait." Darien said thinking of something, "I think I got something. Remember that time from a few years back when it was all over the news about two mysterious pods landing in one of the japanese districts which was later destroyed?"
"I remember that, everybody that saw the news report kept talking about it months after it happend." commented Lita.
"That's right, nobody could figure out what was going on, some said it was an actually alien attack and others claimed it was some millitary ordeal again." added Ami.
"Exactly. There was also that strange group of fighters that appeared and fought with them before the broadcast was stopped."
"Yeah, YEAH! That green guy that was there back then, he was there today to!" blurted out Serena.
"So then you think the guys we ran into today were some of the ones from back then to?" asked Mina.
"Had to have been. That would explain everything." Lita said snapping her fingers. "Yeah know we know who they are!"
"Wait don't you think we're coming to conclusions a little too early?" Luna asked. "Didn't they clarify that battle as another federation attack?"
"But Luna it does make sense, after all these guys moved around just like those did plus the fact that that green guy was deffinately one of them." stated Serena.
"Serena does have a good point." Ami said.
"So all we need to do now is find them and get the truth out of them!" Lita said.
"Ok, well even if these are the same people from back then, just how exactly are we going to find them?" Artemis asked.
The room became silent for a minute.
"Um, well, I don't know." Lita mumbled. Artemis just sighed.
"Everyone, I think I found something." Rei said surprising everyone. During the whole discusion on things they almost forgot she was still praying by the fire.
"What is it?" Mina asked.
"I, I think I know where those five fighters are at."
"The five fighters?" asked Serena.
"That's right. We were so overcome with finding out who that other group of people were we almost forgot the real threat at hand." commented Ami.
"Yeah, the deal with those five people in those pods." Mina said.
"Right. We should focus on the real threat instead of getting sidetracked on things." Luna scolded. "We can't let other matters get in the way of what's going on."
"Luna's right, first things first. So what did you learn?" Artemis asked.
"It was their energy that was throwing off the balance of things. I think I've managed to locate the center of it though, and if I'm correct then that would be somewhere at Shinja city."
"Shinja city? What could they want from there?" Darien asked.
"I can't figure that out yet, but I do think we should turn on the t.v."
"Huh?" Serena blurted. "What for?"
"Because, if they're over there then it's sure to be on the news don't you think?"
4:45 p.m.
Goku's house
Upon returning back to the house everyone was able to get healed back to normal with the help of some senzu beans Goku had around the house. After some quick explaining to Chi-chi and the Ox king about what happened, everyone has gathered around the table and are trying to make sense of the situation at hand.
"So what do you think they're after?" Gohan asked.
"If Frieza is in on this, you can bet it's about the dragonballs." answered Yamcha.
"Great, it's bad enough Garlic Jr. became immortal, but Frieza?" Krillin said.
"Yeah that's got bad news written all over it." Chiaotzu said.
"I'm really sorry guys, I thought everything was over on Namek. I never thought anything like this would happen."
"Don't blame yourself like that Goku. You didn't know, it's not your fault." Piccolo said. He was leaning up against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Well what I want to know is, what do we do now?" asks Tien. "How are we going to defeat those guys let alone keep the dragonballs away from them?"
"I don't know, we did get the crap beat out of us by that Team C after all." Alex mumbled. He rested his head on the table and Yumi ran her hand through his hair to sooth him. She knew the poor guy was a nervous wreck and she didn't blame him. After all they went through she wasn't exactly feeling in tip top shape herself.
"And what's the deal with that Frost guy that one dude mentioned about?" asks Cody. "If he's here on the planet then not only do we have that team to deal with but that other guy as well."
"Things are just getting out of hand." Krillin mumbled. He took a sip of tea Chichi had made for everyone. "We're really in a fix this time."
"Come on Krillin don't sound so down." Chiaotzu said.
"Well I don't see anything to be cheerful about." he mumbled back.
"I for one refuse to give up." Ryan said. "I'm fighting to the end. After those guys are delt with, Vegeta will be next."
"Oh think about what you're saying Ryan! You saw how powerful those people were we can't fight them again, we're just not strong enough!" Alex blurted out.
"No you think about what you're saying! We can't be giving up like this, it's not an option! We have to fight back!"
"Ryan calm down, we need to get things together first before we do anything." Zaria said trying to calm down her brother.
"Are you guys really sure there's something we can do?" asked Yamcha. He kept starring into his cup of tea.
"There has to be something. We can't just give up like this!" Gohan said.
"Yeah the kid's right. We can think of something." Yumi encouraged.
"I wish there was something we could do, but this time I'm afraid there might not be." says Goku.
"GOKU, you can't posibly mean that!" Piccolo says stuned to hear Goku doubt himself. All the Z-warriors are shocked to hear Goku say this as well. As long as they have known him, Goku has never given up on anything.
"No Goku, you can't, you can't be serious." mumbles Tien.
"Dad, what do you mean? I don't understand."
"You're, giving up?" Yamcha asked.
"I can't believe what I'm hearing, we're just going to hand over the planet just because we lost one little fight?" stated Ryan. "That's bullshit!"
"Lost one little fight? We barely got out of there with our lives!" Alex shouted. "I agree with Goku, what can we do? We were fighting at full strength and it looked like they were just toying with us the whole time."
"Well doing anything is better than doing nothing."
"Well Ryan if you have any ideas feel free to share them." Cody said.
"I've got something." Zaria said setting down her cup. "Okay, so those guys might be able to beat us when it comes to brute strength but that doesn't mean they'll beat us when it comes to thinking."
"Thinking?"
"Yes she's right. The only alternative is to fight stratigically now. If we can't win head on then it'll have to be a battle between minds." stated Piccolo.
"Yeah you see Dad, we can just out think them."
"I just, I just don't know." Goku mumbled. The room grew silent again. The others had never seen him like this. They'd never seen Goku doubt himself, they'd never seen him.....afraid.
"Dad."
"What is it that you know Goku? Why are you doubting yourself like this?" Ryan asked. He wanted some answers now, he knew Goku found something out otherwise he wouldn't be acting like this. He kept looking at him waiting for a response, but Goku seemed to be staring into space again.
"Ahem. It really sounds like you guys are having a tough time here. Perhaps I can be of some help then."
Everyone looks around the room trying to figure out where that voice came from, but Goku knows exactly who it is.
"What was that?" asks Yumi.
"I hear him, but I don't see him." Cody said looking around.
"King Kai is that you?"asks Goku.
"The one and only. I've been listening to your conversation and it sounds like you're really in a pickle." King Kai responds telepathically from his planet in other world.
"What's a King Kai?" wonders Yumi scratching her head.
"He's the one who taught me in other world." answers Goku.
"Ah I gotcha, the blue cricket thingy that tells corny jokes." she said, "Where's he at? I don't see him anywhere."
"He's talking to us telepathically." states Piccolo.
"Tele-what?" asks Cody.
"Telepathy", Zaria says, "He's talking to us through our minds and can hear what we're saying."
"Ah."
"Wait he can hear us?"
"Yes. I can." King Kai grumbled. The corny joke remark got to him.
"Ah! Haha, whoops, sorry!" apologizes Yumi and Cody.
"Anyways, indeed you do have your work cut out for you but all is not entirely hopeless. There is still a chance."
"Huh? How so?" asks Yamcha.
"Well from what I know so far Frieza is still off in space somewhere. There's still a while until he reaches the planet so you don't have to worry yourself about him just yet."
"What about this new guy called Frost?" asks Chiaotzu.
"Let's see here, Frost and Isicle are two of Frieza's most powerful generals of the Empire. The two of them are of the same race as Frieza, but they're not as strong as him."
"Not as strong. Well I guess there should be some comfort there." Tien said.
"Well what about Team C? They made mince-meat out of us earlier." Krillin says.
"Indeed they are strong, some of Frieza's strongest men. However they're not unbeatable." King Kai says.
"So what do we do?" Cody asks.
"Hmm, so far from what I can gather they appear to be after the dragonballs. Not only that but Frieza wants revenge for what happened on Namek. I think he intends to turn the Earth into one of his bases. He's managed to assemble a mighty space armada to invade the planet and he's brought with him some of the most powerful fighters in all the universe."
"Oh is that all?" Alex says sarcastically.
"Actually thats not the worst part, Frieza is coming here with his brother."
"WHAT?!" all the Z-warriors shout out at once. "FRIEZA HAS A BROTHER!?"
"King Kai, you never told me he had a brother." Goku says.
"Well, truthfully, I wasn't sure he had another one myself." King Kai says with some nervous laughter.
"WAIT! DID HE JUST SAY 'ANOTHER ONE'?!" shouts out Yamcha.
"YOU MEAN FRIEZA HAS TWO BROTHERS?!" asks Krillin.
"Yes, you mean you didn't know about the other one?" asks King Kai.
Everybody goes into a state of shock. Two brothers, that was way over everyone's heads.
"Heh, heh.....whoops." King Kai can only say.
"This news just keeps getting better and better." says Krillin.
"So just exactly how are we going to beat all these guys if there're so many and they're so strong?" Alex asks.
"Well you're on the right track with fighting strategically for now. I just wish I could offer you some advice on this one, but I'm just as stumped as you. The main objective would seem to be stopping Frost's men from gathering all seven dragonballs before Frieza arrives."
"It's okay King Kai, you've helped us by telling us what's going on." Goku said. "I'm sure we can figure things out on our own from here on."
"Alright. In that case I'll try to figure out what I can from these guys, but in the mean time you all take care of yourselves and each other. I fear this battle has only just begun." King Kai says before cutting off. There is a small moment of silence between everyone. The news of Frieza coming to Earth with a space fleet to take it over was bad, but learning that Frieza had two brothers was too much to handle.
"Man this sucks." Cody finally said breaking the silence. "This sucks a big one."
"We're dead. It's that simple. We're all dead." Alex says resting his head back on the table.
"Oh come on you guys can't be giving up already." Ryan scolds.
"Come on Ryan, you remember the stories we heard about Frieza don't you? He seems like a bad-ass, but now there's two more just like him. That's Frieza times three! Three times the badness!" Alex says.
"Wait, Goku beat him once he can beat him again can't you Goku?" Yamcha asks with high hopes.
"But Goku barely took on Frieza, I don't even know if he can take on two Frieza's at once let alone three." Tien says bringing Yamcha's spirits crashing down.
"Tien's right. Even as a super saiyan I'm not even sure myself if I can handle Frieza and his brother. But we don't have to worry about that right now. Like King Kai said they won't be here until a couple of days so what we really need to do is find out how to prevent Frost from gathering the rest of the dragonballs."
"So now the only question is how are we going to get them before they do?"
"I guess this is were the thinking comes in." states Yumi.
"I can't believe we're going to go through with this." Alex mumbles to himself.
"Well look at it this way, if we can get all the balls before they can we won't even have to fight them, we can just wish for them to go away or something." Yumi said again putting a hand on Alex's shoulder.
"You think the dragon cant grant that wish?"
"Sure why not? The only way we'll find out is once we summon him." Yamcha said.
"Alright we have a new plan. First we focus on collecting all seven balls then we'll think about Frost, Team C and Frieza and his brothers." Goku said. "Now we have to go to Bulma's to get the dragon radar."
"You don't think those guys have a dragon radar of their own do you?" Alex asks.
"They shouldn't. The only reason Frieza was able to get the dragonballs on Namek was because they used their scouters to locate the namek villages since they he knew the nameks were hiding the balls there." says Gohan recalling his trip to the planet. "Since the balls are spread all over the planet I'm sure they'll have a much tougher time finding them."
"We just have to remember to keep our energy down. Remember that you guys." Goku says looking at Ryan, Zaria, Cody Yumi and Alex. Since they were the new members of the group they had no experiance against Frieza's men and had no idea what their scouters could do. "If you put out too much energy then their scouters will pick you up."
"Don't worry about us, we'll be careful." Ryan says.
"Alright now we got ourselves a plan." says Yumi. "We can do..."
"Hey, I don't mean to butt in or anything." says Chi-chi walking into the kitchen, "But I think you should watch this."
"What is it?" asks Goku.
"There's something on the television about some spaceships and and army."
"Space ships?" says Tien.
"Army?" Yamcha adds.
Everyone rushes to the living room where Chi-chi and the Ox king are and look at the t.v.
"I'm here reporting live as Neo Japan's army prepares to attack the alien ships that have recently landed." a t.v reporter says, riding along in a news helicopter as an army strolls through the remains of Shinja city down below. As planned by the president of the Alliance, a call was made to the ambassador of Neo Japan to warn him of the alien ships that were due to land. It was planned that the troops from Area 4-20 would be flown over to Neo Japan to confront the menance head on, but upon refusing the help of the Americans, the Ambassador had requested that Japan's army attack the ships instead of waiting for 4-20's arrival. General Bob didn't like that at all, his orders where straight from the Alliance capitol. But the ambassador refused to wait for his troops to arrive. General Bob knew that sending Japan's army ahead was just suicide for them, more wasted lives. But it was too late to do anything now, the army was already on the way to battle the ships. The fate of all the soldier's lives had been sealed. All the General and his men could do for now was wait for the outcome of the battle.
"It has been confirmed that only two ships have landed and are responsible for the destruction of the city and it's nearby surroundings. This news has sent some people into a panic, however, all worries will be gone in a few minutes as the army will destroy the ships and rid us of these threatening menances."
"The fools, they don't know what they're doing." says Tien watching the t.v.
They continue to watch the coverage as the army continues their trek across the destroyed city. In the distance the ships become visable over the dust that's filling the air.
"We're aproaching the ships now, I'm sure you can see them in the distance. Frankly, this reporter will be happy when this is all over."
Outside of Frost's ships Cee, Turles, Levi, Electron and Dusty watch the cloud of dust in the distance getting closer. Now it would only be a matter of minutes before Earth's army arrives, and Cee had to make sure preperation would be ready.
"Since the Earth's army is attacking there's a good chance Goku might use it as a diversion to attack the ships, so Levi, before any of your men begin their search for Goku's base I want them to be on standby should Goku arrive. If by chance any one of his friends should escape this time, follow them back to their base. I know Goku is hiding those dragonballs."
"Right." Levi said, turning around to walk back into the ship.
"Turles, I think it would be wise for you to plant the tree now before we get anymore interuptions."
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about the tree, Commander. Just because you're in charge of this operation that doesn't make you any better. My team will get the job done, unlike yours." says Turles glaring at Cee with Cee returning the glare.
"Almez, I want you to take the others to plant the tree." Turles says, turning to walk inside the ship.
"Yes master Turles." Almez responds from the main opening.
"Those saiyans really get on my nerves." mumbles Cee.
"Eh, don't let him get to you." Electron says. "Let's just focus on putting this army out of the way for now so we can get the prize."
"So I take it the Ginyu Force is all set?"
"Good to go."
"And Dusty, is your army ready?"
"They're all set." he responds.
"Good."
