Chapter 11: Freeza's Return to Earth

Earth – 6 Months Later

Thursday 29th October Age 795

It was just like any normal Autumn afternoon. Noca and his friends were all relaxing at the Capsule Corp. compound and just hanging around, talking. The whole gang was there. Noca, Pan, Bra, Holline, Dom and Kiera. It had become easier for the gang to meet in West City after Pan, Bra and Dom had all finished their education at Orange Star High and had decided to attend Capsule Corp. College before making their final decisions for University. At least they still had until they were 18-years-old to make that decision. Meanwhile, Holline and Kiera were still at Orange Star, but they were in their last year.

While the teenagers were hanging out, Gohan was over at the Capsule Corp. Tower, busy working on this and that. Vegeta was down in his Gravity Room and doing nothing in particular except his regular workout. Also at the Compound were Bulma, Trunks, Marron, Krillin and Android 18 as they were busy planning the wedding of the lavender haired man and the blonde woman. Goten wasn't with his best friend right now. Instead, Gohan was off with his own wife and she was very pregnant now.

The Namekian warrior, Piccolo, was up on the Lookout with Dende and Mr. Popo. He was just doing some of his own training while keeping an eye on the goings on around the world. As best as he could, anyway. Training off in the East were Buu and Uub. The two had spent a lot more time together, but Buu would still visit Mr. Satan whenever he felt it necessary.

Everyone was pretty much just getting on with their lives as normal. It truly is a shame that it doesn't often last long in this world.

In the space around Earth a circular ship started to come into view. The red soldier, Shisami stood up to the big window and looked down at the sight with a cruel smirk.

"My Lord, we have arrived at the Earth," Shisami informed the being sitting inside his little travel chair. Freeza approached the window, in his hover-chair and he took a good look down at that dirt ball of a planet. He grit his teeth as the memories came back. The blade that pierced his body…and those eyes that were just as sharp.

No one said anything to disturb Freeza. He simply turned and exited the room. It was left in silence for a couple of seconds before Shisami called out in a bellowing voice and got everyone's attention.

"Set the ship down somewhere out of sight and every soldier must line up at the exit ramp as soon as we touch down!"

There was a manic rush around the ship as everyone knew that fear of their almighty leader had truly returned and they must do everything that was requested of them without a single question. Sorbet rushed off to follow Freeza to make sure everything was to his liking. Meanwhile Shisami lifted a hand to the scar on his face and turned to face Tagoma.

"Everything we went through has been for this, I hope you're ready," Shisami teased the lean fighter. Tagoma certainly went through a bigger change with Freeza's training. The expression on his face was sharp and he definitely wasn't one to be messed around with. He had a massive scar across his throat and left eye. His armour was definitely more worn and even blood stained. He shot a glance towards Shisami and let an evil smirk cross his face. He only nodded at the red soldier.

The ship set down on the Eastern side of the planet, but it managed to draw enough commotion from the Citizens of Engan City as it set down on an island that was in full view of the Coastal City. As the ship touched the ground, the top hatch opened and out came a flood of Cold Empire soldiers. They all faced the city, but stayed in the air around the island. They had orders to obey.

Freeza was the last to rise out of the ship and he did so in a slow and steady manner. He kept his gaze fixed firmly ahead and there was a troublesome smirk across his face.

Back in West City, Noca was joking with Dom when he suddenly felt a huge spike in power. His attention was grasped and he stood up, looking towards the window. Both Pan and Holline could feel what he had sensed and they were a little worried. They tried to question what it was, but Noca was too focused on trying to figure that out for himself.

Down in the Gravity Room, a certain Prince of Saiyans sensed a power that was a little too familiar. Vegeta's fist clenched, almost instinctively, but inside his mind there was a little fear.

"No…it can't be," The Prince uttered to himself.

Over in the tower, Gohan had his head down at the computer, wearing his glasses and suit, but then something recognisable spiked in his mind, and it was worrying. The Demi-Saiyan looked over to the window and focused his senses as best her could. His eyes opened wide, but then narrowed. Gohan knew there was a fight coming.

Noca rushed out of Bra's bedroom and basically flew down the stairs to the GR. He didn't need to go all that way as Vegeta was already rushing to the door, wearing his armour. Trunks rushed up towards his Father, wearing his Gi. They were both ready. Noca nodded to the two of them as he rushed to change into his Blue Gi. The trio of Saiyans were ready to blast off, but Pan ran over.

"I'm coming as well," Pan called out. She was already in her Gi as well and was tying her hair up. Noca was about to protest, but then his red-haired friend rushed over, also wearing her Gi. Noca shook his head.

"No, neither of you are coming. Just…stay here," Noca instructed as he quickly kissed them both on the head and rushed off with Vegeta and Trunks. They all blasted off at a pace like no other, but Vegeta was the one with the most intensity.

Gohan had managed to change into his Gi and also fly off. He even managed to catch up the other three. Pan and Holline were left standing in the Compound gardens, but neither girl would give up. They looked to each other and nodded before following after the four Saiyans.

Training in the East was put on hold as Uub told Buu to return to Mr. Satan. He was planning to help fight this battle. Goten had to leave his Wife and Mother so he could also get on and fight. Piccolo, up on the Lookout, knew he would be a great help and blasted down at a great pace. Even Krillin had Bulma find him an old Gi and Android 18 quickly shaved his head.

"If that Power Level belongs to who it does, then I want to fight too," Krillin said as he turned away, but a hand landed on his shoulder. It belonged to Bulma.

"Who is it?" Bulma asked. Krillin swallowed and went into serious mode.

"It's Freeza. It just has to be. I know that power anywhere."

Bulma was wide-eyed in surprise, but then she had a smirk on her face.

"Then I'm coming too, I never saw him either of the last two times!"

There was no Arguing with Bulma and soon enough both she and Krillin were rushing off to help out, in whatever way they could.

Freeza grew tired of waiting and he had been staring at that City for some time now. He clicked his fingers as an idea come to his head. He told his soldiers to move out of the way and lifted his hover-chair up higher. He had a clear view of the city now and a mischievous smile on his face. He lifted his hand and pointed a finger towards the city. The tip of his finger lit up red and then a small ball of light shot towards the city at a tremendous pace. Every soldier watched as the tiny bit of light made its journey. As soon as it came into contact with the city there was a massive explosion and the whole location had been utterly obliterated.

Freeza laughed at the display he had given himself. Unfortunately, all the fighters on their way to fight Freeza had seen the explosion from very far away and they were utterly shocked by it, but they all had to admit they expected it from such an evil tyrant. They all touched down on the same island that Freeza occupied and stood as a group. Freeza and his soldiers all turned to face the small group.

"Well, isn't this nice. A greeting party. And I recognise enough of you," Freeza stated as he quickly scouted the group. His smile faded as he realised two things, "Where is Goku? And…how are you still alive, Vegeta?"

Vegeta smirked at both questions and he was more than happy to answer.

"Kakarot is in Other World, and let's just say I'm a survivor," Vegeta responded. Freeza started to chuckle.

"I guess you could say that I'm a survivor too," Freeza said with a loud laugh. Vegeta's smirk faded. Gohan stepped forward.

"How did you come back?" Gohan yelled. Freeza cocked his head and stared at the man.

"You look like him…you have the same outfit, but…there's something different," Freeza stated. Gohan smirked.

"You mean to say you don't remember me, Freeza? I'm the kid you fought on Namek all that time ago. I'm Gohan," The man answered. Freeza was about to question some more, especially when he saw Goten and…Trunks, but then there were more arrivals. It was Pan and Holline. Noca looked over at the them and let's say he was pretty furious.

"I told you two not to come!" Noca yelled as he rushed over to the two girls. They defended their choice, but Freeza still had more questions, but not enough time to ask them as Krillin and Bulma touched down. This made Freeza laugh.

"Oh my, it's the bald one. I distinctively remember killing you," Freeza continued to laugh as Krillin glared up at the tyrant. Everyone had arrived, but Freeza had missed something Vegeta told him earlier. "Wait, did you say Goku is in Other World…as in…dead?"

"Yes," Vegeta answered, "So your fight is with us…"

"And only us!" Gohan finished.

"Yeah, leave the people of this planet out of it!" Trunks shouted. Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin all turned to face Trunks as they realised he was here.

"Well, I could kill the other Saiyan that murdered me," Freeza said, his angered tone still around. Trunks was surprised. Piccolo stepped forward this time.

"I wouldn't count on that, Freeza. This isn't the same Trunks that killed you. That one was from the future," Piccolo explained. Freeza grunted in anger.

"And he's my Son," Vegeta informed the Emperor, semi-proudly. Freeza chuckled some more.

"Oh it doesn't matter anyway. You're all going to die with your planet!" Freeza yelled in sheer anger as he pointed down at the group before yelling the order, "ATTACK THEM!"

As soon as the huge army of Soldiers started to descend upon them the fighters all seemed to instinctively take positions that they believed would be beneficial. Pan, Holline, and Krillin dropped back to stay and defend Bulma from any trouble as Goten and Trunk shot to take the right side, with Gohan and Piccolo going to take the Left. Vegeta, Noca and Uub all went head first into the mix and hoped to help spread out the fighters some more.

They had no time to plan their defensive, but this was the best they could come up with in such short time…and with no communication.

The soldiers came charging in at an extreme rate, but everyone was ready to get into a fight. Pan jumped up in defence of Bulma and took on the first soldier that got to her. The alien threw a fist for the girl, but Pan quickly caught it in her right hand and twisted to kick up with her left foot. She planted her kick in the chest of the soldier and knocked him away. She stalled for a second upon realising just how easily some of these soldiers could be dealt with. She looked around to see everyone else dealing with their opponents just as well.

Another one charged towards the girl with an attack. Pan threw up her right arm to block and then punched that soldier in the face with her left. The soldier dropped back and then Pan followed up with an uppercut with her right. The soldier was knocked back again and another was dropping in behind him. This gave Pan an idea, that she hoped would work. She jumped up and kicked both feet out, pushing off of the solider and simultaneously sending him flying into the next soldier. They both dropped to the ground.

Pan's eyes were drawn to another soldier and she flew towards him. She sent her knee crashing into the face of that soldier and then kicked out her right foot as the soldier started to fall away. The kick struck perfectly and dealt with the soldier, but in that time another one had come from behind and locked his arms around Pan, tightly. Pan struggled for a second, but then she noticed another Soldier getting closer to Bulma. She was about to let that happen. She sent her head crashing back into the face of her captor and that was enough to break the grab. She then turned and took a hold of the soldier's arm and swung him towards the other alien currently heading for Bulma. The soldiers collided and were dealt with. Pan nodded to Bulma and charged off to continue with the fight.

Holline was in a similar position. She was currently defending herself against a soldier. He was firing at her with his wrist cannon and she was having to deflect a lot of blasts away. The soldier was hovering above her and firing down. Holline continued to swat the blasts away, but she coudlnt just sit there and take it. She flew up to the alien and swung a kick into the soldier's ribs. Just as that happened another one dropped in with a punch. Holline dodged to the left and let the punch sail past, but she quickly grabbed the soldier's arm and swung him around into the soldier in front of her. They tumbled down to the ground as another two stepped up to the plate.

The two new soldiers decided to come in at either side of the Red-Head and try to confuse her, but it wasn't going to happen that way. Holline blocked the one on the left and prepared to attack, but was taken by surprise when a knee crashed into her back. The other Soldier had been quicker than she expected. She swung around and kicked the soldier in the face and then turned back to punch the left sided soldier in the throat. The fighter gripped his neck in pain, but Holline dealt with him quickly by hammering her fists down on his head.

They fell without another move, but three more soldiers flew up and stared down at the girl. Holline wasn't ready to keep going and she wasn't sure she could last much longer in this conflict. She looked up at them and a took a worried breath. Suddenly, the soldiers on the left and right were taken out by a Ki Blast each and the middle one started to look around in surprise. This was her chance. Holline charged up and sent a plunging kick into the alien's gut, knocking him out of the fight. Holline dropped back and looked up to see Krillin fly by. He had assisted her, but he didn't have time to stop and hear a thank you.

The Turtle-Student was being chased by a number of soldiers. Krillin was just hoping to tire them out before dealing with them his own way, but it didn't appear that things would go that way. He quickly twisted around and put his hands up to his face and shouted "Solar Flare!"

A blinding light flashed in the eyes of the soldiers and they had to stop. They were all rubbing their eyes while Krillin prepared the follow-up. He pulled his arms to his side and smirked.

"Kame-Hame-HA!" Krillin threw his arms forward and the blue energy wave dealt with those soldiers. Krillin looked down at his hands and grinned. "At least I haven't lost it yet."

He soon realised that he didn't have much more time to just sit around and cheer for himself. A fair few more soldiers moved in to challenge Krillin and the Bald Monk had to save the celebrations for later. He smirked again and charged in to take them on.

He crashed a kick into the head of one unlucky soldier and then punched the next one in the gut and followed up by kicking the same one in the chin. After the kick he flipped away, but was taken by surprise when a blast crashed into the back of his own head. Krillin dropped forward but quickly managed to steady himself. He shook it off and twisted around, firing a rapid Destructo Disk. The sharp disk shaped Ki blast zapped towards the soldier, but on succeeded in cutting off part of the soldier's shoulder guard. That Alien was certainly shocked by what happened and he lost focus. Krillin took his chance and charged in, head-butting the soldier in the head. He dealt with those few, but that didn't mean there weren't more and now, Krillin was serious.

About twenty of Freeza's soldiers had decided to form a circle, but around whom? Piccolo, of course. The Namekian fighter was obviously one of the strongest fighters there and Freeza wanted to make sure he was dealt with efficiently. The group waited for the Namekian to make the first move, but Piccolo wasn't about to do so. He waited until their impatience got the better of them. Fortunately, that seemed to work. One soldier yelled charge and the rest followed. Piccolo smirked and closed his eyes.

He blocked a soldier to the left and then swung out his right arm, backhanding a soldier away. He then felt a hand grip onto his left arm. Piccolo swiftly used his head to bat that soldier away and then stretched his left arm to catch that same soldier. He swung the arm over his head and slammed him down on the opposite side, but on top of another soldier. He released his hand as the arm retracted and more soldiers came in. Piccolo shot a blast out with his right hand, taking out the soldier in front of him. This certainly stalled the rest of them for a second, but not for long.

As the rest started to move in Piccolo reached his hand up to his head and removed the Turban he always wore. He tossed it to the right, at pace and managed to knock out one of the soldiers. Some of them slowed down, but still continued in to attack. That was when Piccolo started to remove his cloak and he dropped it on the soldier that approached him from the left. That's when they all stopped. The Namekian cracked his neck and looked around and their wary faces. He smirked again.

"Come at me," He uttered as he motioned for them to move in. They all nodded to one another and charged. Piccolo waited for them to all get around him and then he threw out his arms and yelled as a huge wave of energy exploded from within him and blasted all of those fighters away. Piccolo looked around at all the beaten soldiers, but he wasn't done yet. Another group charged in from behind Piccolo. He could sense them and instead of giving them any time he swung around and swipe his left hand across, throwing a trail of Ki blasts along the ground and in front of the soldiers.

None of the blasts had hit a soldier, but the ground began to fall in, as did the soldiers. Piccolo was definitely pleased with himself. He stepped forward, but as he did a single body fell beside him. Piccolo looked up and saw his formed student blast through the sky with a huge group of soldiers behind him. It was Gohan.

All the soldiers chasing the Demi-Saiyan were firing their attacks in his direction, but Gohan was finding them simple enough to dodge. He continued to lead them through the sky and in the process he was even picking up a few more soldiers, but that didn't bother him. He started to lead into the cliffs and managed to find a valley to fly through. All the soldiers followed in, but as Gohan started to get in he knew he would have them in the perfect tight space. He stalled and turned back, causing all of them to stall and slightly panic. The all started to throw attacks at Gohan, but the Saiyan was having fun as he continued to dodge them all.

He knew he'd had to start attack soon. He punched one of the soldiers into another and then phased behind both of them. As he reappeared he smashed a kick in and sent them both crashing down into the valley. Gohan knew there was a fighter placed right behind him and he swung his fist back, smashing that soldier in the face. He then phased again. Appeared in front of another one and punched him in the face too. He then kicked to the left, hitting another in the ribs. The rest of the group were all positioned behind him and Gohan used that to his advantage. He turned around and threw up both his hands and fired a powerful Ki blast at them all, sending them to the ground or flying out of the valley.

Goten and Trunks were still in the fight. Neither of them had turned Super Saiyan, knowing that it wasn't needed. They were standing back-to-back with loads of fighters either side of them. They would punch the ones that came towards them, or kick them, and they would send Ki blasts out to the further away ones, but they were just making the fight a game.

"That's 17 with kicks!" Goten told his fight partner. Trunks smirked and fired a blast at another soldier.

"Oh yeah, well now that's 23 with blasts, looks like I'm more accurate than you," Trunks teased.

"I prefer to use my hands!" Goten spat back, but they both laughed together. They soon started to formulate a plan in their heads. "Hey Trunks, if fly right up through them, one on each side…"

"Then we can get them all stuck down here and blasts them all away quickly," Trunks finished. Goten nodded back to his friend and they both agreed. They turned to face their enemies and blasted away from one other. They made sure to get up into the air and have every one of those fighters below them. They looked down and then at each other. Nodded one more time and started to send loads of Ki blasts down on the rest of the soldiers, effectively dealing with them. They each gave each other a thumbs up, but a blast grazed Goten's arm and they realised they weren't out of it just yet.

A little bit further along the coastline of the island, Uub was taking on a group of soldiers by himself. They were flooding towards him without a fear in the world, but they were woefully unprepared for what Uub had to offer. As soon as the first soldier came in close enough Uub charged forward and smash two strong punches into that one soldier's face. The Alien started to back away, gripping his face in pain, but Uub performed a spinning kick that propelled the soldier through the air, towards the ground. Another soldier approached from the left and Uub quickly held his left hand up and sent a small blast into that one's face. The blast created a smoke cloud, and Uub flew right through and landed another strong punch.

As another soldier decided to make a useless effort Uub twisted around, landing a strong kick to that one's chest. As that soldier fell away, Uub flew over to another one, not taking time to dawdle. Uub reached the next soldier and sent his knee crashing into this Alien's back and that soldier was off into the sky. Uub quickly phased above the fast moving soldier, but swiftly hammered him back towards the ground. Just as Uub knocked that soldier away, a whole group of them gathered around him and attempted a big bundle. This Majin-Human had a lot of Ki reserves within him though, and he made great use of that to send all of the soldiers away with one explosive wave.

Uub got on with the rest of his soldiers with relative ease, but more and more seemed to arrive. Over on the opposite side of this part of the island, Noca was dealing with his own group. The teen appeared to be spending more time toying with his opponents and showcasing his speed, rather than technique. He just phased in-between all of them and let them through useless punches and kicks. He wasn't just toying with them, however. He did intend to show-off some more of his abilities. Noca phased in front of one soldier and landing a powerful kick to the head of the weak fighter. That soldier was sent soaring in the distance as the teen swung around and sent his left fist crashing into an Alien's gut. That soldier bent over in pain but Noca finished him off with an uppercut to the face.

Another soldier made his was behind Noca, but the teen turned to his left and landed a strong right-footed kick into his opponent's ribs. Once again, an Alien charged up to the teen, but Noca was able to turn to the right and send his forehead crashing into that Soldier's nose. Another one fell away. Noca turned and saw a fighter that seemed to be a bit wary of the fight. Noca smirked and phased behind him. Once in the ideal position, Noca hit with a spine crunching punch, with his right and then followed up with a explosive left jab to the back of his opponent's head. Another fighter knocked unconscious.

Noca didn't have the time to take any breaks just yet. He phased away and found a new soldier. He hit that one with a fierce jab to the face. That fighter was taken down. Noca phased again and this time he finished another solider, but with an overhead kick, down towards the ground. The teen was already phasing, almost instantly. He arrived in front of an unsuspecting soldier and sent a rapid burst of jabs to his poor face, before disappearing, once more. Once he reappeared, he landed a swift scissor-kick to that neck of another disappointing soldier.

As Noca made to re-compose himself, another large group of soldiers rose up to fight some more, but Noca was beyond prepared for this. He phased again and shot all the way through the group until reaching one towards the middle. He had moved so quickly that no one had enough time to even turn away, or put up any sort of block. At the end of the move, Noca landed a strong elbow to his opponent's gut. That soldier fell from the sky, but that didn't stop more from gathering. Noca took a deep breath and smiled to himself.

Meanwhile, standing cross-armed in the centre of about 50 soldiers was, the Prince of all Saiyans himself, Vegeta. He seemed disinterested by what was happening around him, but that was only because he knew he was better than all those Cold Empire Soldiers. He didn't even want to raise a hand. The soldiers weren't very patient and they all charged in at once. Vegeta's eyes were closed as they came down and started throwing hectic punches and kicks. He didn't even uncross his arms. All he did was dodge around and avoid the incoming attacks. He had no intention to react with any moves on his own, but that didn't mean he wouldn't do it, eventually.

Once the soldiers realised that their punches and kicks weren't doing anything, they took to firing their ridiculous energy cannons. Vegeta still just continued to dodge any that came too close and let the others just crash into the ground and explode around him. The soldiers didn't seem as if they were interested in letting up anytime soon. Eventually, when there was a big enough cloud of smoke around Vegeta, the soldiers stopped firing and left time for the dust to settle.

It wasn't given that time, however, as Vegeta decided to shoot out of the cloud and charged right for one of the soldiers. He landed a strong right hook to one Soldier and then swung around to the left to hit another with his knee. The knee crashed into the face of the shocked soldier and dealt with his nose. After that connection, Vegeta turned and let a single, small Ki blast sail towards another opponent. That Soldier was struck by the blast and knocked out of the sky with ease.

The Prince didn't move on straight away, but a Soldier took the chance to fire a lot of blasts at the Saiyan, but Vegeta phased at the last minute and the energy sailed ahead and struck another soldier in the face. Effectively incapacitating him. The Soldier fell from the sky and Vegeta appeared behind the one that had fired the blast. The soldier was unsuspecting as all the other fighters turned and opened fire at Vegeta, accidently firing upon their own in the process. Vegeta had already phased away, avoiding any hits, again. When he did reappear he planted a fist deep into one of the soldiers' gut and sped off somewhere else immediately. He turned and looked back at the group of soldiers who had all gathered perfectly and then the Prince unleashed his Big Bang Attack.

It was tough, but effective and Freeza was beginning to grow increasingly frustrated by the incompetence of his soldiers. He had an enraged glare on his face, his teeth were grit and his fists clenched. Freeza was itching to get in there and tear his enemies apart, but he wanted to draw Goku out. No matter what they told him, he wouldn't for one second believe that Goku was dead. And if he was indeed in Other World then he would definitely show up to defend his friends. Sorbet looked up at his Master and could see the frustration in his eyes. He started to get reasonably panicked and moved to make a suggestion.

"Lord Freeza, may I please make a suggestion?" Sorbet asked, politely. He didn't want to die, after all. Freeza glared at him, but signalled for him to go on. "I suggest sending Tagoma and Shisami in to help trim their numbers down."

Freeza looked away from Sorbet and ahead at his enemies and a small smirk started to cross his face.

"You know what, that isn't a bad idea. Ok." Freeza chuckled lightly and then gave the order. "You two will fight, kill them if you have to, but I'd rather them just feel pain."

Tagoma and Shisami nodded to Freeza and then turned to face the group. They glanced at each other, but didn't say anything, nor did they make any signals. They quickly blasted off, with Tagoma heading towards Goten and Trunks, and Shisami heading for Gohan and Piccolo. Meanwhile, Sorbet was still by Freeza's side.

"Do you remember the contingency plan?" Freeza questioned, in a low, but serious tone. Sorbet was almost shocked, but swallowed and a mischievous smile crossed his face.

"Of course, Freeza. You say the word and I'll execute it," He responded, gaining another pleased smirk from Freeza. What could he possibly have planned?

What did you think? Good? Bad? Improvements? Let me know in a review.

Also, if you are going to ask me a question, but leave a guest review then I will start answering in an Author's Note on the review itself.
