Last time on Dragonball Super the Cold Family finally enacted their plan and entrapped Vegeta inside his own personal heaven taking him out of the fight and putting our heroes at a severe disadvantage. Will the Prince of all Saiyans be able to realize he is in fact a prisoner instead of a king or have the Colds finally gained their revenge? Find out today on Dragonball Super!

Walking out of his palace Vegeta and Tomao began to pass other ordinary Saiyans who briefly bowed towards their King and Queen before resuming their work. Soon the married couple heard a voice behind them and looked to see Raditz and Kakarot two of Vegeta's right hand men greeting him like an old friend. "It's good to see you my King. Headed towards the Saiyan Academy for the Graduation Exam?" Before anyone could respond Kakarot decided to open his mouth as if he hadn't realized a conversation was going on. "Hey, Vegeta and Tomao, wanna train cause I just thought of this awesome new mov-"

BONK

"What have I told you about addressing our leaders like that Kakarot?! This isn't the days of the Saiyan-Cold War where you could do that now they are figures to be respected." Gripping his younger brother in a chin lock Goku began to whine pitifully making everyone around them laugh except for Vegeta who preferred not to lose any of his reputation giggling at the scene before him. Hearing the mention of war, the Prince for a moment was lulled back to a time many years ago when upon discovering that Frieza intended to kill them soon the Saiyans managed to revolt and eventually defeat the tyrant although not without a great cost. Hearing his wife yelling at the brothers for another annoying display the King was brought out of his stupor as the two now sporting a few new bumps on their heads settled down. "To answer your question Raditz yes we are off to witness our daughter's official graduation a once in an lifetime achievement for a parent." Once more Kakarot interrupted the conversation. "Well for you guys it would be twice in a lifetime since Cres did as well not too many years ago."

Realizing at this rate they were going to be late Vegeta interjected bidding farewell to his companions. Soon the two came upon the esteemed Saiyan Academy founded by Vegeta to help train all Saiyans instead of sticking to the traditional low-class and Elite divide. It proved to be very effective as the low-class started to see a rise in power only making the Saiyan Army stronger and more effective in this new age. In front of the school stood two mighty statues one of King Vegeta and the other his son that the latter had commissioned to honor his father. Below it read. "In recognition for his great sacrifice in defeating the Tyrant Frieza at the Battle of Rygol 7 may we never forget the former ruler of Planet Vegeta." Peaking at his own statue the text stated. "Here lies a tribute towards the Legendary Super Saiyan King Vegeta who defeated the terrible Frieza and brought peace once more for the Saiyan Empire."

Suddenly the sound of a ship came behind him and on the docking bay in the parking lot a small spacecraft landed. Out of it came two individuals each eliciting a completely different emotion from the lord of Planet Vegeta. The first was Jaco the Patrolman a high figure in the Galactic Patrol a man he personally found annoying but unfortunately his wife considered a close friend. Of course, he still respected the man who managed to be quite useful during the war when the Galactic Patrol seeing an opportunity to take down their greatest enemy allied with the lesser of two evils the Saiyans. It proved to be a very beneficial partnership as combined the group managed to outnumber and outgun most of the Frieza Force leading to the eventual victory. Afterwards both sides struck a deal where the Saiyans would no longer conquer planets and the Galactic Patrol in return helped the devastated race in its time of need shortly after the war.

As for the second person it was Jaco's partner one the former Prince knew all too well. A man around his height with short black hair that wore his Saiyan Armor proudly attached to them multiple medals for his heroics over the years. "Father it's so good to see you again it's been too long." Yes, this man was his pride and joy Cres the first-born son of Vegeta that now stood as a strapping young man. Reaching out for a handshake the King found himself enveloped in a hug the affection rolling off in waves sending a blush creeping along the father's cheeks. It was this same love for not only him but for life that compelled Cres to join the Galactic Patrol instead of the Saiyan Army like his ancestors, and even though it upset the King after some "persuasion" from his wife the man came around.

Staring at his son the world seemed to distort and for a moment the King could have sworn his son possessed light purple hair, yet strangely this did not faze him at all. "(Trunks?)" Feeling a headache coming on the father held his head in pain gaining concerned looks from the three around him. "Honey are you alright?" Opening his eyes, the world was just as it should be, and his son once more wore his signature black hair. Shrugging off that odd hallucination Vegeta replied. "Y-yes I must have just overexerted myself yesterday." Feeling the migraine recede the four began to talk. "I'm glad you could make it Cres it's good to see you as well." The King forced out attempting to show love even if it hurt every fiber of his being. Chuckling at his father's discomfort the young man took a moment to hug his mother as well who accepted it much better. "Wouldn't miss this for the Universe. Not every day you get to watch your baby sis kick the shit out of some poor instructor or student." With that said the four began to walk towards the school anticipation on their minds.

Meanwhile

Empowered by renewed rage Trunks attacked the Colds with unrelenting fury his fists targeting Frieza specifically. Ducking a right hook, the tyrant avoided a blow that hit the rock formation behind him. The anger was so palpable that the normally mild-mannered teen looked ready to kill anything that moved. His aura was so hot that just by touching the rock around his fist it melted like an ice cube in the sun. Even Frieza felt a tinge of fear at realizing how powerful Trunks had become, but it was only for a fleeting moment as his confidence came back soon after. "He may be strong, but it is only through his wild fury which means all I have to do is outsmart him." Keeping his distance Frieza fired off a few Death Beams hoping one of them would pierce the boy. It seemed he still had enough sense to dodge them before resuming his charge keeping the villain on the retreat. Bringing his hands up with the use of telekinesis he summoned gigantic boulders lying around and hurled them at the Saiyan, but this proved to be ineffective as the objects merely dissolved upon getting within a few feet of him.

In a burst of speed Trunks drew closer to Frieza and reached out with his hands intent on grabbing the man's throat. Catching them just in time both were locked in a stalemate, but the alien could feel the heat trying to engulf him in its destructive blaze sending sweat pouring down his face. "Change him back now!" Trunks cried out at the tyrant in front of him. Realizing the young man was solely focused on what was in front of him he took the chance and kneed him in the gut stunning the Saiyan and allowing him to create some distance and run away for the moment. "Come back here Frieza!" Flying away Frieza saw the Saiyan was on his tail. Knowing he couldn't be caught or risk annihilation the alien summoned two purple discs and threw them hoping it would slow him down at least a little. Seeing the projectiles coming for him Trunks threw out his own blast disintegrating the attacks and making its way at the tyrant who barely managed to avoid the Ki in time.

On the other side of the battlefield the Son Family Trio worked together when fighting the three remaining Colds using their superior teamwork to keep a foothold in this fight. It was easier said than done considering the fact Cooler who outclassed everyone else in the battle led the charge attacking with a fury that forced the three on the defensive. Ducking a clothesline from Cooler almost immediately after a kick from Kuriza struck Goku in the side before Gohan could help. Blasting at the young alien he was forced to back off but Cooler merely blocked the attack and now focused on the young man. Pointing his finger out he sent a barrage of Death Beams with the young man deflecting each and every one of them although not without taking up a decent amount of energy to do so. As this was going on King Cold began to sneak up behind the Saiyan his sword ready to pierce Gohan's spine like a hot knife through butter. "Stay away from my bro!" Luckily Goten saw this and intercepted forcing Cold to fight him thus saving the young man.

At this point Goku and Kuriza were still locked in combat the latter having the advantage due to the cheap shot from earlier, but our hero was slowly gaining ground side stepping a kick and grabbing the youngest Cold's leg. Locking in his hold the two swung around and around creating what looked to be a mini tornado, until suddenly Goku let go tossing the small man right into a rock formation.

CRASH

Before Goku could even regain his breath, he sensed his son losing energy fast and knew he was needed elsewhere. Using his phenomenal speed Goku attempted an attack from behind but he only managed to strike at air giving him flashbacks of their first fight. And just like before an elbow from above knocked him on his head sending the Saiyan momentarily rolling. Before he could even reorient himself, his back collided with what felt like a brick wall and knew who it was. "So, this is the power of a Super Saiyan God, what a laugh." This time Goku did not carelessly strike out instead he summoned a small red barrier of energy forcing Cooler to back up slightly in order to not be hit and buying the father a precious few seconds to think. Unfortunately, Cooler did not pause instead he decided to simply overwhelm his opponent and rose to the sky. In those few seconds Goku made his barrier Cooler summoned a massive ball of energy that looked like a miniature sun much to Goku's horror. "Remember this Super Saiyan? Try to repel this one monkey or die!"

With no time to think Goku cupped his hands. "Ka-Me-Ha-Me... HA!" Shooting a bright blue beam upon contact with the Supernova only managed to barely slow it down. Seeing the attack approaching the planet Gohan joined his father along with Goten who took a second to knock away the larger man before joining his family. "Kamehameha!" Joining with their father the three pumped out as much power as possible and soon the orb not only stopped but flew in the opposite direction keeping Earth safe for now. Panting heavily the three were now exhausted every one of them reverting back to their base forms and almost immediately found themselves cornered by the three Colds who all looked to be perfectly fine. Suddenly it dawned on Goku and his face was now one of pure shock and a sense of dread overcame him. "This was your plan all along." Hearing this the tyrants smirked while Goten and Gohan looked at their father questioningly. "You planned to take out Vegeta first then make sure to exhaust us anyway possible, so we would all be ripe for the picking. Every action we made to stop you was just us walking further into your trap."

Laughing maliciously that their grand plan had finally come true the three circled our heroes like sharks waiting for any drop of blood to attack their voices mixing together invading the three Saiyans minds. "That is correct. Our humiliations only made us stronger and now you will suffer just as we have." For those brief moments it was so quiet anyone could have heard a pin drop, and then the Cold's attacked relentlessly.

Meanwhile

Realizing that any second now Trunks would have him and most likely kill him only one course of action seemed logical to the cold calculating man. Erecting a condescending smile Frieza stopped in mid-flight and chuckled. "Tell me monkey how does it feel to know your father was nothing more than a slave bound to my will like a pet?" Any logical thoughts were gone now as Trunks swiped at the Cold in front of him who barely managed to avoid the wild attack. "SHUT UP YOU MONSTER!" Undaunted by his tantrum the smarmy man continued. "Monster? No, no my dear boy the only monster is your pathetic father. He used to enjoy conquering planets at my command killing billions by the weeks as if they were merely playthings." For a moment utter horror manifested upon his face before being shaken off as Trunks swayed his head from side to side. "YOU'RE LYING! MY FATHER WOULD NEVER DO THAT HE WAS A GREAT MAN FAR BETTER THAN YOU!"

Again, the enraged teen blindly attacked Frieza who now easily predicted and countered the hits. "It's easy to be fooled by lies when they are told to you as the truth especially to a naive child such as yourself." For a moment Trunks stopped unable to tell if this man actually lying or telling the truth. His dad never bothered to tell Trunks about his life no matter how much he asked.

It all seemed to fit and denial could only go so far before he was forced to consider this information about his father true. Using Trunks' confusion to his advantage Frieza shot a Death Beam striking him in the shoulder burning it although luckily not piercing the bone thanks to the Super Saiyan Gods protective aura. Now completely off guard it was easy for Frieza to pummel the Saiyan who's power was greatly weakened due to his state of mind. Knocking him down to the ground Frieza pointed upwards summoning his signature Death Ball. "Witness the destruction of a God by the hands of Golden Frieza ohohohoh!"

Obsessed with eliminating Trunks the tyrant failed to notice behind him as a small warrior approached him from behind. "Hey Frieza!" Turning around to see who interrupted his grand gloating he saw a familiar figure. "It's time for you to see the light! SOLAR FLARE!" Sending off a bright light Frieza felt a burning sensation in his eyes as they were overwhelmed by its radiance. At the same time multiple attacks swooped down at the other three Colds who prepared to end our heroes consisting of a Destructo Disk, Spirit Ball, and a large laser beam." Taking this opportunity Goku used his Instant Transmission after touching his sons to teleport next to Yamcha, 18, and Jaco who was aboard his ship who were joined by Krillin currently supporting Trunks who slowly came out of his own little world. "Yo Trunks ya with me?" Gaining his friends attention, the now purple haired Saiyan shook off his thoughts and only nodded.

Opening the ships dome Bulma peeked her head out looking around the group. "Where's Vegeta?" She asked in concern at not seeing her husband. Now completely snapped out of his stupor Trunks looked off in the distance spotting his father's prone body that remained motionless. "Frieza put some kind of device on dad and now he won't wake up." Seeing her husband Bulma yelled at Jaco to bring them over which the alien happily agreed to in hopes it would keep him away from this battle. With only seconds left to regroup 18 spoke up. "We need a plan because right now we're sitting ducks against these monsters." She pointed out grimly. Only one idea came to Goku's mind and it was a huge gamble. "We need to use the Spirit Bomb that's the only thing I can see beating them, but Earth doesn't have enough power to build up one that can work."

Fortunately, King Kai interjected sending a message to everyone. "Goku are you there?" Replying with a yes the North Kaio began to talk fast. "Perhaps I can contact the Namekians they'll help build energy for the Spirit Bomb if you tell them it's against Frieza." Now feeling a new sense of hope Goku nodded happily. "Thanks King Kai I'll get started right away. Good luck buying time guys because I doubt they'll happily wait for my attack to finish." With a plan set Goku teleported to a nearby mountain away from the action and began the process. Back with the others they now stood in opposition to the four Golden monsters who glared at them all. "More insects to crush father." Kuriza taunted. Seeing a familiar orb in the sky begin to form Frieza scowled and stepped forward for once not being interested in playing with his toys. "Let's finish this quickly I've got a score to settle."

In the sky overlooking this battle stood Beerus and Whis both of whom were surprised to see the Cold Family again so much stronger than before. "I had never figured it was possible for their race to attain power beyond their original state. They might just be enough of a threat for me to kill or recruit them for what's to come." Nodding at his master's planning Whis for the most part didn't care who won but a small bit wished the Earthlings would succeed just so he could devour more of their delicious food.

Putting all their hopes on a Spirit Bomb Goku can only watch as his family and friends are forced to fight these killing machines. As for Vegeta he currently resides in his own fantasy only for a brief moment being able to fight against its programming that has taken over his mind. Can the Spirit Bomb work once more like it did with Buu and if not can Vegeta escape his luxury prison to turn the tide in his adopted home's favor? Find out next time on Dragonball Super!
