"That Bardock you were talking about has no Fate. Even though he's alive, we can try him as well for unrightful battling a weak defenseless opponent which resulted in death of the victim. The Saiyan Supreme being also in the wrong, will also recieve a sentence; most likely confinement to the Realm of Supremes..."
"Prepare a mothership. We're leaving for Planet Metamor."
The Frozen Saga
Part 38: Dawning Snowstorm (Pun Name: Polar Storm)
It was a peaceful day on Earth. One of the many peaceful days since the Bojack incident. But this day was special. This was the day...
"We've finished the time machine!" Bulma yelled in excitement.
*clears throat* Um, Bulma? I was talking.
"Oh, sorry, Kevin," she said apologetic.
That's better... This was the day Bulma and her father finished the time machine. It was quite a sight. It had over 9000 horsepower, a V-64 engine and... Oops, sorry, secret Capsule Corporation design. It was similar to Trunks' time machine but much larger; mostly in the width, making it look like a UFO. It had a larger capacity than the one passenger time machine Future Bulma built. In a circle facing each other, eight people could be seated. Everyone was cramped up in the laboratory including the dozens of scientist working at the CC. Fasha was busy scanning them with her psychic powers until she saw someone try to sneak off. She scanned him and immediately went in pursuit. He didn't make it to the door because he was held up by his collar by Fasha.
"Where do you think YOU'RE going?" Fasha asked, "What do we have here?" She pulled out a blueprint. "I'm betting 10.000.000 Zennies that this is the blueprint to the time machine and that you are a spy. HEY, I GOT A LIVE ONE OVER HERE!"
Everyone directed their attention to the captured spy. A few of them had a look of anger on their faces.
"Shame on you, Chuck!" a female scientist uttered, "I thought you loved me!" She rushed out of the room crying but not before recieving a quick scan from Fasha. Two security guards escorted Chuck and detained him for questioning. The rest just redirected their attention to the time machine.
"Ladies and gentlemen *cough* *cough*, I would li..." Dr. Briefs started before he was interrupted by his wife.
"Honey! You're not getting sick, are you?" she said while rushing to the platform worried. She put her backhand against his forehead to check if he had a fever.
"Honey, please," he said red with embarrassment, "I'm in the middle of giving a speech. It's rude to be interrupted both for me and the ones listening."
"But honey, we have to get you to a hospital if it gets worse! We can't take the risk."
"Please sit down, my love, I'll be done in a bit. Then we can talk."
Mrs. Briefs returned to her seat, still worried about her beloved husband.
"*clears throat* Now, where was I? Oh yes, I would like to present to you the only invention deserving to recieve the famous #1: The Capsule Corporation Time Machine! *applause* Thank you. They have asked me for years: Dr, when will you finally create the biggest invention ever to be called #1? I told them I'd have to invent a freaking time machine before naming a capsule number one. I didn't believe it at first but I did it! With the help of my daughter, of course. We've had numbers like #13, #67, #91 and even the great #73 but none of them ever compares to number #1. Now I would like to give the word to Bulma."
"Thank you," she said. She was carrying Baby Trunks in her arm, "I would like to thank Kageto for grasping the entire context of Time along with Destiny...*silence... The crowd didn't understand a word* but most importantly this was all impossible without my son Trunks." Bulma was giggling inside for this double meaning. The people had no idea how true this was. "Without being motivated by this cute little thing I have here, I don't believe we would have finished the time machine in the time we did. Thank you."
Cameras were flashing and a few scientists approached the stage to ask questions.
"When will you test it out?" a scientist asked.
"We don't need to test it out. We know it works." was Bulma's answer.
"But what if it doesn't work. Don't you need to test it to see if it does."
"It works and that's final," Bulma said losing her patience.
"How can you be so sure?" the scientist insisted.
"Alright," she said picking up the mic, "Everybody, BACK TO WORK! Get out of this lab. Access restricted. Shoo, we're done here."
All of the scientists left the lab. They were disappointed they didn't have chance to ask any questions. Bulma went over to a crib in the corner to put Trunks to sleep.
"So... Why are we not testing the time machine?" Yamcha asked Bulma."
"Yamcha?! Where the hell did you get here?" Bulma asked confused.
"I was sitting here for the last 30 minutes. You even asked me to get a lemonade for you."
Bulma was scratching her head confusedly while sipping from a plastic cup of lemonade in her other hand.
"I'm sorry, I can't recall you being here. Do you mind geting another lemonade for me?" she asked with a puppy face while handing him the empty plastic cup. "Thank you for being such a dear," she said walking away.
"Women, huh?" Krillin asked.
"Yeah, you're only visible to them when you're needed," Yamcha replied with his head down.
Meanwhile in Space...
"I need that processor that monkey has," Cooler thought, "With it I can rebuild the Big Gete Star by memory. I have the entire system stored in my head. I just need to mutate a chip connected to that processor... If my calculations are correct, that fool Icex is planning to take revenge on me and go to Earth to fetch those monkeys. He also took the rigged mothership just as I expected. Heh heh heh, with this super brain I can predict anything. I might as well have psychic powers... Oh wait... I already do. I mean future sight."
"Chili," Cooler ordered the new leader of Cooler's Armored Squadron, "Establish a connection with mothership KK98."
"Yes, sir," the brave young Brenchian warrior replied.
"Hmm, this young Brenchian is almost strong enough to replace Salza. Good that I chose him though he's not much use to me considering Frost is training an army of Final Forms back home. This new crew is only fit to do the things I'm lazy to do myself."
*Flashback*
"Frost," Cooler began, "I want you to stay on Acros to train an Army of Ultimates."
"W-what army? We don't HAVE and Army of Ultimates. You and Chilled are the only Ultimates in our entire race!"
"The Army YOU are going to put together in the time I'm gone."
"Aw man, I was planning to watch the movie called 'Polar Storm'. The title is already giving me the chills of excitement. I hope they have it in HD. I love me a good snowstorm movie."
"You idiot!" Cooler replied, "Polar Storm has nothing to do with Ice! It's about a MAGNETIC Pole."
"Aw man, now there are two things bothering me today."
*Flashback End*
On the big screen the confused face of Icex appeared. In the background, a young Acrosian could be seen at the controls. He was then staring directly in the face of Cooler.
"Greetings, Icex," Cooler said with a malevolent grin.
"Grr, Cooler, what do you want?!" Icex asked with a tone of pure hatred.
"L-Lord Cooler!" Jack screamed with joy, "You're alive!"
Cooler was staring at this young Acrosian who was happy to see him and he wondered why he said he was alive.
"Who are YOU, kid?" Cooler asked.
"I-I'm Jack and I'm the brother of Frost of the Elite Four. It's an honor to meet you, sir, we thought you were dead."
Icex was trying to hide his face in his right hand. His entire abduction scheme would come to light.
"Heh heh heh," Cooler said clearly amused, "So, you've taken little Jack as your... helper in this mission I'm going to give you?" Cooler was taking advantage of this little situation.
"The mission you were talking about was from Lord Cooler himself?!" Jack uttered in complete admiration.
"Yes, yes it is," Icex forcefully replied while grinding his teeth from anger.
"Yeah, now that we're talking business, let me 'further' brief you in your mission," Cooler continued. His grin hadn't vanished ever since, "You are probably already heading to Earth as I previously instructed you?" Cooler asked knowingly.
"Yes, I am," Icex said giving up hope, "Damn, he's going to milk this till the end!"
"Well, good, because I need you there to track one of three processors I picked up on radar. I'm sending it over to you with the holographic map of Earth."
With a few keyboard strokes, Icex received a map of the Earth with three pulsing blips. They each had their own color; red, yellow and blue.
"As you can see," Cooler continued, "The map has three blips. You are free to pursuit either the red or the yellow blip. Stay away from the blue one unless you want to die. Right now the three blips are approximately in the same area. You have to cause some destruction on some city away from that place and you'll see the blue blip move away. Then you'll search for the rest with an enhanced scouter I planted in your right armrest."
Icex opened the armrest and to his astonishment a purple scouter was indeed where Cooler claimed it would be.
"It's especially enhanced for this mission. You find either the red or yellow blip and get the hell out of there unless you wish to die. Stay away from high power levels or I'll remotely detonate a bomb I planted on the ship. You'll have no way of getting back plus I'll personally come there and kill you myself. If you stray away from your course which I have on one of the many screens in front of me, I'll detonate it as well killing you instantly. I have small drones deployed from which I can monitor your every move. They're so small, you won't be able to see them."
Icex shrugged at this revelation. He felt cornered. He WAS cornered. There was no way he could pull off his plan of 'befriending' the Saiyans whom he was almost sure lived on Earth.
"Furthermore I planned your landing course on the north pole of the planet so you won't be detected by the inhabitants there."
"Hey," Icex protested, "I don't want to land in the middle of a Polar Storm!"
"*sigh* Am I surrounded by idiots? Polar Storm has NOTHING to do with ICE! Just like 'A Sound of Thunder' has nothing to do with Thunder!"
"Aw man, what a waste of 5 Freezeuro's," Icex said annoyed.
"Oh that reminds me," Cooler thought, "I have to change the currency to Coollars once I get back home. Damn father, always giving my brother everything. He even named the currency after him."
"So, what's our reunion point after my mission is completed?" Icex asked.
"Planet Jujuriba," Cooler answered, "Make sure to be there on time. I'll only wait two seconds."
"Wha...?"
"Two hours," Cooler corrected, "Oh and Icex... Don't disappoint me."
"Grmbl," was all that Cooler could distinguish from Icex. The transmission ended and Cooler laid back on his bubble car/captain's seat/massage chair/hovercraft. Chilled moved his bubblecraft as well and stopped next to his.
"You've got to love these things, right?" Chilled said in a relaxing voice. A low humming sound could be heard coming from the chair which Cooler concluded was the massage option.
"Yes," Cooler replied and he too activated the massage option.
"Lord Cooler," Chili began."
"What?!" Cooler answered slightly annoyed, "You couldn't have picked a worse time to call me. I was JUST getting relaxed! Well? What is it? Spill it out!"
"We have arrived at Planet Metamor, sir," Chili announced, "Should we land the mothership or keep it in the stratosphere?"
"*sigh*" Cooler sighed as he was overweighing the options, "Yes, keep it in the planet's orbit. We'll be right back. You coming, Chilled?"
"Aaaahhhh, what?" he said waking up from a soothing massage.
"Let's go."
"We're there already? Damn, ok, let's go."
The upper blast doors opened and two bubblecrafts hovered out. They descended towards the planet at max speed. They soon arrived at a large city called Fuze. They hovered to the largest building in the center which they concluded was the palace. They landed in the palace garden and proceeded to enter the guarded palace doors.
"Who goes there?" a guard asked.
"It is I, Lord Cooler," said Cooler, "We came on very important matters."
"Cooler? Never heard of that name before?" the guard responded.
"Ever heard of the Death Beam?" Chilled asked.
"The wha...?!" was the guard's last words before he collapsed dead in front of the huge doors. His partner suffered the same Fate...
Talking about Fate...
"What's this?" Destiny asked out loud. The Creator was practicing his kicks on Destiny while he was reading the floating evidence of his life's work. Destiny was merely moving aside undisturbed by the kicks coming in. When the Creator asked him how he could dodge while reading at the same time, he merely said 'reflex'.
"The text inside of my Book moved back two spaces. That is highly unusual!"
"It's only two spaces," the Creator replied still trying to hit Destiny, "It's not a big deal, is it?"
"If the text even moves back one letter, it's a big deal. There is ONE problem, though. I have no way to track down what's missing."
"Well, if there's not, let's continue training then."
"Is that all you can think about?" Destiny asked.
"We have a little more of a freaking decade left!" the Creator said angrily.
"So, one decade or two is not a big deal, is it?" Destiny retorted using the Creator's words against him.
"Whoa, I see what you did there. Not funny. Just... Pay attention to what I'm doing," The Creator said continuing his kicking. Destiny sighed and waved the Book back into the non-existence.
Back at Metamor...
"What do you want from us?!" the Metamorese King begged on his knees.
"We want to know the secret," Chilled said stepping out of his bubblecraft. Dead guards were lying around everywhere soiling the white marble floor with blood.
"What secret?!" he asked bowing his head in fear.
"The secret of the combined warrior, the body fusion."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about!"
Cooler too stepped out of the bubblecraft and stared down at the pitiful sight in front of him. A King on his knees? You don't see that everyday.
"Are you sure about that?" Cooler said in a threatening tone. He raised his arm and used his psychic powers to choke the King to death.
"P-pleeeeeaaasse," he managed to wheeze. Cooler released his psychic grip.
"You have one last chance," he said, "I never give second chances but this time it's special because you have some information we desperately need.
"Fu..." could be heard behind him. Cooler turned around in less than half a second to see what was going on. "Sion... HA!"
He saw two guards execute a series of movements and utter the words he was so desperately trying to force the King to say. A bright light filled the area and where there were primarily two guards was now only one. He looked slightly different.
"Give it up," he said in a voice that sounded like it was actually two, "Or meet your end."
"Oh how amusing," Cooler said shocked at discovering their secret. Due to his now photographic memory, he no longer needed the help of any inhabitant on this planet. He aimed his finger behind his back and killed the King without having to look.
"Let's get out of here, Chilled," Cooler announced while climbing into his bubblecraft, "We've got all we need."
"Where do you think YOU'RE goi...?" was all the fused warrior could say before a purple beam pierced him between his eyes killing him instantly. The two bubblecrafts sped out of the palace ascending rapidly out of the atmosphere in minutes. Of course, a mass slaughter can't be complete once every single living being was dead.
"Would you like to do the honors?" Cooler asked Chilled.
"Yes, I'd love to," Chilled replied raising his finger. An orange energy ball was rapidly growing in size and was soon a full grown Supernova. Chilled released the massive ball of destruction that was now bringing the Metamorese their unfated end. In mere minutes, the planet was covered in flaming lava ready to burst. Seconds later the planet exploded leaving nothing but space dust where it one resided. The Cold duo returned to their ship a little wiser than before they left it.
"Where to now, Lord Cooler?" Chili asked.
"Jujuriba... Double time."
The ship rotated counter-clock wise to adjust its course and blasted off into HyperSpace. On the other side of the galaxy, a mothership has exited the HyberSpace.
*Estimated time of arrival in 5 minutes* the computer announced.
"Buckle up, Jack," Icex ordered. He was lucky on one hand that Cooler didn't reveal the fact he was actually kicked off the planet and that he abducted Jack as well. On the other hand, he hated Cooler with all of his cold heart.
"Yes, sir," was Jack's usual answer as he obeyed his master's orders. Icex thought of how this kid was blindly obeying his every word. No one ever showed him that much respect.
The mothership landed on its landing location which was the center of the North Pole. A barren iceland uninhabited for miles. Icex put on the enhanced scouter and turned it on. It had a message coming from Cooler:
"Icex, if I haven't told you this yet, I'm telling you now. Whatever you do, don't fly. They can sense your power level and they will find you and kill you afterwards. Use the transportation seat. Fly as high as it goes so you won't be spotted on that overpopulated planet. End of transmission."
Three blips appeared on the scouter in the direction Icex was facing. He climbed onto his bubblecraft and flew in that direction.
"Hey, Gohan," Krillin asked, "If you would use the time machine Bulma and Dr. Briefs created, where would you go?"
"Please don't ask me that, Krillin," Gohan said slightly annoyed, "I'm studying for Math and History; two completely unrelated subjects and I need to pay it my full attention."
"I understand," he replied disappointed. He still couldn't see why he couldn't study at home. They were at the Capsule Corporation. Who studies while there are brilliant technology for them to check out. He decided to take his annoying habit called 'talking' somewhere else.
"Hey, Kageto!" Krillin said as he approached him.
"Oh God, what does he want now?" Kageto thought as he was relaxing in a lawn chair. "Yes, Krillin?" he asked as politely as he could muster.
"If you would..."
"I don't need to use it," Kageto replied before he could finish his sentence, "I can already travel through time, remember?"
"How did you know what I was going to say?" he asked dumbfounded.
"I can read minds too, remember?" Kageto said slightly annoyed. "Wow, I only remember to do it when it's unnecessary... Kind of like Krillin and his Destructo Disk."
"Oh, yeah, I remember. Can all four of you re..." An explosion from afar could be heard all the way at the Capsule Corp. The shockwaves were immense causing a strong wind to cut through the area.
"Thank you, Creator," Kageto thought, "I'm bored as hell, Krillin is talking and you send a villain for me to fight who just destroyed one of the nearby villages."
"What the hell is going on out here?!" Fasha said as she rushed outside.
"Someone destroyed one of he nearby villages and I'm heading there to investigate."
"WE are heading there to investigate," Fasha corrected.
"Hmph, fine, though it DOES take only one to get the job done these days. I hardly believe it's another Bojack or Cell."
Kageto and Fasha left the CC to investigate the explosion. Icex saw the interaction behind the bushes and identified Kageto as the blue blip, more specifically the device on his lower arm.
"Hmm, so HE'S the dangerous guy I have to stay away from, huh?" Icex thought, "I'd better get going before he comes back."
Icex was stealthly sneaking around the CC facility following the rest of the blips. The yellow blip indicated he had to enter the crowded dome-like building.
"I will most likely be spotted trying to get that one," he deduced, "I'd better search for the red one."
The red blip took him outside of the Capsule Corporation walls. He hoped no one spotted him when he jumped over it. He was led to an empty green field in the neighborhood.
"That's weird, it indicated the red blip is below me," he said tapping the scouter. "Well, it's demo time."
Icex ascended a few feet and dropped a condensed ball of energy. A controlled explosion shook the ground a little and dirt was flying everywhere. After the dust cleared up, a rather deep hole could be seen below. Icex descended through the hole until he fell in an open space.
"T-that is King Cold's ship!" Icex uttered. He floated slowly towards the spacecraft. He saw traces of Acrosian blood spattered on the hull, "What the hell happened here?"
The place was abandoned. The lights were on but unbeknownst to Icex, he destroyed the only surveillance equipment that was mounted on the roof. Icex was about to enter the ship before recieving a transmission on his new scouter.
"Icex," Cooler's voice thundered in his ear, "Remember your mission. I hardly believe the processor is located in my father's ship now, don't you think?"
What Icex didn't know was that Cooler was grinning wickedly while staring at his screen.
"Get off of my back, will you?" Icex screamed through the scouter. He clicked the button twice to disconnect the communication on the scouter.
"Nice try," Cooler said with an evil laugh, "You can't disconnect me. It's an enhanced scouter, remember?"
"Grr," was all Icex could mutter. He was very close. He followed the red blip until he reached a red object behind the ship. "What IS that thing?"
"It looks like a robot," Cooler responded. He had a visual as well through the spy drones. "Bring the entire thing with you. It looks peculiar. You better hurry. I'm on my way to Jujuriba as we speak. You have two hours once I get there."
"Grr, whatever you want, oh so supreme overlord," Icex said sarcastically.
"Hey Chilled, I believe he's talking to you," Cooler retorted. They both burst into laughter on the other side of the transmission. They cut it on their side giving Icex some peace and quiet. Not that it was their intention. Icex skillfully grabbed the robot and burst through the hole. He was flying towards the ship in his maximum speed. He entered immediately, dropped the robot in a room and rushed towards the bridge.
"Take off, take off NOW!" Icex ordered Jack with a look of intense fear. The blue blip was moving quickly towards the ship.
"Hyperdrive, HYPERDRIVE!" he shouted.
"We're still inside of the planet's atmosphere, sir, I believe it's not poss..."
"Just bloody do it, okay?!"
"Yes sir!"
In less than two seconds the ship disappeared in HyperSpace avoiding Kageto in the matter of seconds.
"Who the hell was that?" Fasha asked.
"I dunno," Kageto replied, "I'm sure it wasn't Cooler or Chilled. The energy signature was... different. It's too weak. I can't track it. God knows why he was here and destroyed that one village."
"Somebody called my name?" The Creator asked.
"Creator! Goddamn it!"
