Chapter 35
On board the now renegade ship, the current AWOL members of Cooler's empire awaited the results of the fight back on the red planet they left the Saiyans days ago. While they waited the crew kept themselves busy with simple tasks and maintenance. Some even take time to pull out a deck of card and play for hours. Currently the group playing cards are the highest ranking members on the ship.
"Today's the day those Saiyans fight Cooler right?" One alien asked as he reached for a card off the other person's hand.
"If I remember it should be, hopefully they win. As scary as they were they didn't execute us like cooler would if we questioned them." The second alien said as he smiled when the first took the card that can't match up with any other card. Meanwhile the 1st alien hid the disappointment well to mas the fact he caught the bust card.
"Well if they don't Cooler will register us as deserters, and probably execute us so yeah, go Saiyans." The second alien said as he drew a card from the third and smiled as he had a match and put the pair together, adding on to his score.
"Do you think we should search for, what's her name again?" The third alien said drawing a card from the fourth that wasn't a match and he sighed.
"The female saiyan, I think it was Yami." The second alien spoke up again.
"Yeah her, should we find her son?" The third said.
"If they fail it might be a good idea as she said he is stronger than them, we might have to be on the run for a few years so that her son could develop his power, chances are he still isn't an adult." The fourth alien said now drawing from the 1st alien, only to show a face of shock when he drew the bust card and the first alien smirked in satisfaction.
Immediately alien number two and three knew that the fourth had the bust by his reaction as they now knew to be careful when drawing from his hand. But before they could continue the received a notification from the dashboard of the cockpit and saw that one of the Elite armored squad pods where returning in less than five minutes. The response was instant as suddenly the four aliens readied the ship and the rest of the crew for the arrival of who they thought to be Captain Salza.
"oh god oh god oh god. What do we tell him when he gets on board, Salza will kill us if he found out the Saiyans left?" Alien 2 said panicking.
"Hey snap out of it, well just say Cooler chose to fight them on the red planet. It should be believable right?" The four stood at the ready with a few other crew mates awaiting the pod to arrive in the port where it docked a minute later. The crew all saluted and awaited the pod to open, hoping that Salza would believe their statement. Too their surprise when the Pod opened the first thing they saw was a blur of movement.
"Ahhh!" The first alien said when he was lifted from his collar by the figure the blitzed them only to look into the very young face of a Saiyan.
"Where is my mother." Tarden said menacingly as the first alien fainted and the rest backed away in fear feeling the aura radiating of the powerful Saiyan.
"Tarden, don't jump the gun, these guys aren't a threat." Xiox said drawing the crew's attention to the two llabs who took their time getting out of the pod.
"I can't help it, my mother and Turles are fighting the very same man whose family is responsible for enslaving and destroying the saiyan race. Every minute we waste is another minute they could be dead!" Tarden tried t not shout by gritting his teeth as the frustration built inside. 'I got a bad feeling about this.' Tarden thought.
"Wait you're Yami's son right, their fighting on a planet not too far from here!" The second alien said quickly hoping to calm the saiyan down.
"Please take us there as quickly as possible." Ginny said politely as Tarden dropped the first alien and stormed off into the halls as he began to pace around restlessly while Xiox and Ginny helped the crew set course. The aliens avoided the fuming Saiyan while appreciating the two gentler Llabs.
"It will take us about an hour to get there, and if possible. Please take the pod down to the surface, if Cooler sees us in the atmosphere we will most likely get shot down for deserting." The 2nd alien spoke while the others in the cockpit nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, we don't want to put you in danger if we could avoid it." Ginny said.
"You will have to stay in the system though for we might need a quick escape." Xiox said.
"Oh, of course. Setting course to Cooler Planet 6 sector 87 B-G-F!" The third alien announced and sure enough the ship began its FTL (Faster than Light just in case you didn't know.) travel.
With Turles.
The male Saiyans arms grew numb from every time he had to deflect Cooler's attacks, the power coming from the Current emperor was definitely overwhelming but Turles did his best to hang in the fight as he tried to keep the mutated frost demon for Yami to come back. After their last combination attack Cooler became enraged and started to stop pulling his punches. It has been five minutes since then and Yami took a nasty blast that had her sidelined for a while as she tried to catch her breath. Leaving Turles in the situation he was in.
Turles defense started to slack from the barrage of punches as a brief combination landed clean and sent him back flying, Turles reacting as quick as he could have avoided the following Ki blast just in time to see the brief laser carve the planet's surface in an instant before exploding in the distance. Turles watched with heavy breath before flinching from the pain that now caught up to him from the combination of punches he just took. Luckily for him he looked back at Cooler to see the man fending off Yami who came just in time for Turles to catch his breath. 'If Yami didn't draw is attention just now the chances Cooler would have hit me with another attack would be really high. Is this really the limit to what we can do, after the fruit, after all the training?'
Turles took a few more second to control his breathing before rushing back into the fight just as Yami started to lose her ground. The two Saiyans rushed the Emperor as quickly as they could forcing him on the defensive as Cooler began to snarl in frustration. The three combatants began to trade blows as For every time Cooler maned to land a punch or kick he received another from the other saiyan he didn't hit.
A Punch landed in Yami's gut as she flew back briefly, only for a fist to bury itself into Coolers side as a knee followed up and nocked the air out of his lungs before the Emperor used his other fist to crash into Turles's jaw. Cooler would have followed up but he felt Yam coming so he went to wrap the female saiyan with his tail, but Yami managed to catch the thing before biting it. Cooler yelped in pain then brought his tail up so he could punch the saiyan but the female avoids his fist and kicked Cooler in the face for his attempt.
At this point Turles appeared behind Cooler and wrapped his arms around cooler's neck in a choke hold as the Emperor reached up to his neck before leaning forward then throwing his head back to crash into the Saiyans. Freeing him from the hold as he quickly side stepped Yami's fist which now hit Turles in the gut as the male saiyan forgot how to breath for a second.
"Oops sorry buddy." Yami said sheepishly.
"Kill him not me damn it!" Turles said angry at Yami before pushing her away and then dodging the Ki blast Cooler sent their way.
Cooler thrusted his arms out rapidly in a blurred movement as he fired endless barrages of Ki blasts as he tried to snipe the two Saiyans out of the Sky. Meanwhile the duo flew around and desperately tried to avoid the attacks for as long as they could before eventually they got caught by a blast they couldn't avoid. Soon followed by a several more each saiyan.
Cooler watched as the two Saiyans became enveloped in smoke and once satisfied he stopped his attacks and took a deep breath in as he corrected his form as he waited knowing that that wasn't enough to kill the Saiyans. Sure enough he saw the two Saiyans with their armor cracked and burned but still showing a fire in their eyes as the smoke cleared the look of determination in their eyes made Cooler smile. "Yes that's the look I love to see." Cooler shouted out taunting the Saiyans. "The looks of pain and desperation fueling you with an anger that blinds you from realizing that you're going to die."
"Hey… did you master that trick yet." Turles muttered under his breath as Cooler Taunted.
"Of course... the real question is if you did." Yami said just as cooler finished, and took back his fighting stance which was similar to Freiza's pose.
"Right, let's do it." Sure enough the tow Saiyans rushed in again and the next few second s of combat had been the stalemate of punches until Yami positioned herself behind Cooler Turles managing to keep cooler distracted for a brief moment as Yami fired a Galick gun. Cooler felt the attack coming and punched Turles back as he then pivoted in midair to avoid the attack letting the beam hit Turles. Only for Yami to appear behind Cooler and hold him still her arms wrapping under his shoulders and locking up behind the head in a full nelson. Cooler struggled to break free for a moment before he noticed that Turles wasn't damaged from the ttack instead the Saiyan was in a strange stance and seemed to be redirecting the attack back at Cooler.
"Reflection!" Turles shouted as the purple beam redirected back at cooler with even more energy than before. Cooler's eyes widen in shock as he quickly broke free from Yami's grasp, flying upwards to avid the attack. Only to suddenly realize he was surrounded by several small Ki blasts that soon all converged onto Cooler. "Shining Hail storm!" Turles said again as the hundreds of Ki blasts collapsed upon Cooler who began batting them away only to be overwhelmed by the sheer number.
The attack clearly didn't cause major damage to Cooler but the constant explosions made cooler a sitting target for what Yami had in store, sure enough she was in the same stance as Turles and used the reflection technique on her own reflected Galick gun. The pressure of absorbing the massive attack was making Yami's arms cry out in pain but despite the discomfort she managed to complete the technique firing the attack at Cooler again with multiplying the attack's power.
"Reflection!" She shouted as the attack escaped her arms and flew straight into the trapped emperor. Cooler was helpless as he was enveloped in the attack and the sound of his creaming was heard as he felt the pain of the attack. The sky exploded with the attack as Yami let her arms slump to her side as they began to lock up. Turles appeared beside her just in time to see her arms trembling badly from the attack.
"I think you over did it."
"We have to if we want him dead… my arms will heal, hopefully he doesn't." Yami said looking up to see Cooler's body begin to fall to the ground smoking from the attack. "Finish him off for me." Yami said as she floated down to the ground, taking a seat on a rock as Turles floated down to Cooler's body.
Cooler twitched a few times before slowly forcing himself back to his feet. His body in so much pain and for a brief moment he thought he was going to die, 'I let my guard down…..that's it.' Cooler said to himself as he took a power stance and a deep breath.
"I don't think I ever seen you so injured. We warned you not to underestimate our power." Turles said as he began charging up his attack, "Today the proud and invincible Cooler dies at th hands of… What did you call us again?" Turles said taunting the wounded Emperor.
"Filthy apes!" Cooler said upset as he tried to summon his power, as his body trembled.
"That's right, at the hands of filthy apes… I guess that means your lesser than us monkeys huh!" Turles finished charging up his attack as he smiled. "good riddance Trash, Meteor Bust!" The attack descended onto Cooler but not before Cooler found the strength he was looking for, the brief moment he did he looked straight at the attack and lifted his hands, catching the attack.
Turles began to walk away in victory before he realized his attack didn't explode yet, turning around his eyes watched in horror as the attack began to condense. Once the attack was the size of a small ball Turles eyes laid witness on Cooler who just transformed into his final form.
"Impossible." Turles said in shock when he realized cooler was alive.
"I now see how my foolish little brother died to one of your kind." Cooler said as he tossed the attack to the side letting it destroy area behind him. Cooler's new form made him look stronger, his body appeared to be more muscular and his body grew more amour like in appearance as his head turned into a four pointed shape, and his eyes where red in a visor like appearance.
"But unlike my brother, I have a whole other level of power he and my father could only dream of." Cooler began to laugh sinisterly, "You came close to killing me there, but your dumb monkey mind chooses to speak rather than act, allowing me time to bring out my real power."
Turles reacted quickly and raise his arm to fire an attack but froze when suddenly Cooler was behind him faster than he expected. "Be honored, you will be the first to die to this form, Saiyan." Cooler said.
Turles jumped away as he put some space between them and quickly snapped out of his fear as he brought forth the last of his power. Cooler smirked at him before suddenly the smirk was covered by a retractable part of his mouth that seemed to work like a mask. Turles flew straight at Cooler ready trade combinations, planning on trying to buy time, but not only did his punch not find purchase, he struggled to stay conscious from the force of the fist that crashed against his nose, completely breaking it.
Turles's body flew into the ground and rolled as Cooler laughed and slowly stalked his pray walking towards Turles and began to walk around him as he watched the Saiyans struggle to his feet. "don't tell me your done, where was that swagger from before?" Cooler taunted.
Yami saw what was happening and felt her heart ache, not only did they fail to kill Cooler, not only was he stronger than them, but he had a whole other transformation with a power on a whole different level. Greif and sadness dwelled in her heart as she fell to her knees, tears of frustration escaped her eyes as she looked at her arms who were refusing to move.
"Yami! Run!" Turles said before desperately lunging at cooler again only for the emperor to side step him and casually kick him back down. The force of the kick made Turles cough up blood but still the Saiyan slowly sat up, much to his opponent's amusement.
"Where would she go, hm… she has no ship, and it seems she has nothing left in her tank. But don't worry, I'll kill her much faster than I will you." Cooler said as Turles got back up and this time before he even took a step Cooler fired a finger beam which went clean through Turles body, leaving a clean small hole. Turles collapsed on to his knees as he struggled to stand his body begging him to give up. "Yami!" Turles shouted the one word being all he could muster.
Hearing her Drew Yami's attention as she made eye contact with Turles, there was a small silence and in the brief moment Yami remembered the young Saiyan who wouldn't stop following her around as a child always trying to get her attention.
"Idiot." Yami said choking back her tears and soon Turles was kicked around again for the pure amusement of Cooler. 'Turles is dying and he still trying to fight! Am I really just going to let him die!' Yami was disgusted with herself gone was all the fear pain and grief as it was replaced by a fury in her soul, disgusted by her pathetic behavior Yami began to feel a surge of rage she had never felt before. The ground around Yami slowly began to tremble as a layer of dust slowly began to rise.
"Oh what's this falling asleep now?" Cooler said laughing as Turles stayed on the ground bruised and beaten his eyes struggling to stay open. His vision blurred but he began to see something he would never forget. Behind cooler Yami was slowly standing up as the sky began to storm up. Power surged from her body and finally drew Coolers attention. Turles didn't know what was happening all he saw was that her began to flash between black and yellow, and then his eyes closed as he fell unconscious.
Cooler turned and if his mask wasn't covering his mouth one would see him frowning. "What is this."
"Ahh!" Yami roared in anger as suddenly the ground beneath her caved in and a shockwave of power exploded from her lungs as her scream alone shook the heavens. Her eyes began to change into a light blue and green type cooler and her hair began to grow spiky as if energy began to flow through every follicle of hair. "Cooler!" Yami said now as she leans forward in anger, her arms still slumped but the rest of her body energized. Her hair completely Yellow and for a brief moment Cooler realized too late.
"This is a super Saiy-" Cooler was caught off from finishing that sentence when Yami Appeared before him faster than he ever expected and plated a foot in his gut which stole his air, sending him flying. Yami stayed in her pose her foot still in the air with her arms still slumped. She slowly returned her foot on the ground and she turned to Turles still body, noticing that slight rise of his chest. Satisfied to see that he was still alive, at least for now Yami turned I time to pivot around Cooler's body that tried to tackle her as she used her spinning momentum to heel kick cooler into the ground forcing him into the earth below.
"I'm sorry Turles, I find you some help as soon as I kill this bastard."
