Author Notes: This is what I've been building up to with Winter, making the differences between him, Frost and Freeza finally clear.
Chapter 37: TOP-Part-20: The Battle of the Space Tyrants!
Cabba will either eliminate those two fools or they will eliminate him in turn, only to be ringed out by one of the stronger competitors...with Cabba being tossed out by one of the stronger competitors anyway. The way I see it, it'll be my remaining teammates aside from Cabba, all of Universe 7 except that Guldo, Universe 3's ace- Katopesla, Universe 2 are currently in a symbiosis with that Saiyan woman, the Universe 11 ace trio, and that brute...because as far I'm concerned, I'm pretty sure that Universe 9 will go down once this yellow freak dies., thought Frost as he looked on.
"You're quite eager to use your full power so soon. If you were that anxious for victory, then here's my advice- it's best to use your full potential early on. You relied on your subordinates too much and now you're paying dearly for it with the assumption that you'd clean up shop. What a pity.," Golden Freeza told Winter as the two began to engage in a punch to punch, kick to kick sparring match.
"You really want to say that...I'm not even in my true form yet...and believe me, you don't want to see it happen.," Winter remarked as Frost jumped from behind to launch a Chaos Shot from behind the monster's back only for him to generate a specific Ki shield around that section. Frost looked in shock as he was suddenly slammed to the ground by the yellow space tyrant.
Golden Freeza was shocked when Winter head butted him in the chest and then maneuvered his head so he could stab the golden space overlord through the chest.
He then shook him off his horn as Freeza landed on the ground with a now visible hole in his gut. If he wasn't already dead, that would've killed him immediately.
"Well, unleashing your full power does drive you slightly unhinged-," Golden Freeza remarked until Winter in an animalistic frenzy proceeded to chomp on Golden Freeza's neck with his sharp teeth.
"Oh my god! Let go of me!," Golden Freeza shouted as he telekinetically summoned rocks to propel Winter away.
He then trapped Winter in a golden sphere and was prepared to kick him out of the ring in a fit of anger, when Winter phased out of the sphere, freezing it completely.
Frost fired a Chaos Cannon at Winter, but the blast completely unfazed him.
Golden Freeza, Frost and Winter all struck their tails against each other, but Winter's won out due to being more powerful than the other two.
Golden Freeza and Frost were forced back and the two began to talk to each other.
"It seems mastering my power only recently in my life of using my basic strength to overcome everything and rely only on my men isn't good enough.," Golden Freeza said realization.
"I've never had a fight that I didn't take precautions or set it up myself.," Frost remarked with annoyance.
"But, he seems to have fought and improved for most of his existence and made sure to improve himself all the while. He's a benchmark to surpass.," Golden Freeza acknowledged.
"You do mean trick into tripping out of the ring right?.," Frost asked.
"The strongest in the universe doesn't resort to such tactics.," Golden Freeza snapped to Frost's confusion.
"That is quite enough.," Winter said as he fired two Ki blasts from his horns, knocking the two space tyrants on the ground.
"I wasn't the preferred one to rule over the family...the least favored son...so I worked my way up by killing the rest including my elder brother. And now, I am the strongest in my universe.," Winter said.
"I was always first in line. I remember having an older brother who claimed that he should rule...and that Father only tolerated me until the time that he managed to succeed more than me in spite of his greater form at the time..., but he's so far away in Universe 7, that he's woefully unaware of what has transpired in these last few decades.," Golden Freeza replied with some bitterness in his voice when referring to his brother.
"I'm...an only child.," Frost said to the other two with an awkward expression on his face.
"Getting to the point, I was born great...and I didn't have to grow up the envious runt.," Golden Freeza said, which managed to get Winter riled up.
He fired a barrage of red Ki blasts from his tail towards Golden Freeza, who blocked it seamlessly with a golden Ki barrier.
"He's distracted!," Frost said as he fired a Chaos Wave, followed by a Chaos Ball, which did nothing to Winter.
Winter rushed towards Golden Freeza and Frost, grabbed them by the necks and plowed them through the sides of two mountains. He then tossed them to the ground and began to claw them sharply with his energy claws.
Golden Freeza got up as Winter rolled like a wheel as he was hit with intense force.
The golden tyrant then fired a barrage of Grand Death Beams in order to slow down the momentum of the yellow tyrant.
Winter leapt backwards as he fired from his tail, fingers, mouth, eyes, and horns for a combined energy wave blast of red, which Golden Freeza responded by firing a Golden Death Saucer, which was annihilated from the force, which caused Golden Freeza to use a Golden Nova Strike to plow himself through the blast and ram into Winter's gut.
Winter managed to tighten himself in order to keep on his feet, but then he breathed slowly.
"This settles it...you're going to see my true form now...and it will be definitely something that you never expected. I hope you don't regret making me do this...I've waited a long time for someone to make me go this far and now my patience hasn't not been for naught.," Winter said as he preemptively generated a red Ki barrier to keep Golden Freeza from attacking him mid-transformation. As he said this, the red pupils began to enlarge until they completely engulfed the eye. His Ki shot up into the upper parts of the Null Realm, changing its color to bloody red as meteors of red Ki rang down from above.
The area turnt completely black before going back to bloody red as static electricity fired from the barrier as Winter began to undergo a metamorphosis, shattering his current form for an unseen slender new shape.
The barrier broke apart as Winter revealed himself in his true form. It was a slender, masculine looking entity with a long tail ending a spherical shape; completely red eyes with no pupils; shiny red sections on his lower arms, lower legs and head; a row of three spikes going down from the top of his head to the back of his neck; no red section his chest; no mouth with a single line ending at a point that indicates a nose ridge; and was completely without any armor.
"Universe 9's versions of my race look impressive, but can they actually do anything-," Golden Freeza remarked as suddenly Winter without an utterance directed the falling Ki meteors to be directed right at Golden Freeza.
As he looked in shock, he was bombarded from all sides from the massive blasts, hitting him right, left, and above.
He then collapsed on the floor as his head grounded against the ground by Winter.
"You forced me to use this? And you can't match your bite to meet your bark? How dissatisfying...," Winter said in a muffled, distorted, deep voice.
Next Chapter: Winter, finally in his true form, goes on the assault.
