"I just have one question… WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON!?" A voice echoed through a multi-pillared room, hanging flags waved just by the power of the central figure. The gray stone cracked, as the tall figure stood from a huge throne. Each step downward was followed by another crack that stretched over the others. The violet face a furious King Cold stood over the two remaining members of the Ginyu Force, Captain Ginyu and Jeice. Both bowed their head low, as they could feel the pressure of his power as he got closer.

"My King, I apologize. We were unprepared for how strong the enemy was." Ginyu spoke up, but a surge of pressure went down on him in an instant.

"I don't want excuses, I want what happened!" King Cold's voice was quieter but more intense with anger. "You found him almost dead, floating in nowhere space. You only found him because of the ship's battle power reader. But I want to know that who, what, when, and why? We only know the where being Namek. I did not expect my favored force to fail so terribly, but to have no information on who caused."

"I-it could have been prince Vegeta." Jeice spoke suddenly. "Or rather, someone he was working with."

King Cold's eyes shifted to the orange skinned alien, a glare that even with a head lowered and facing the floor he could feel. "Continue." King Cold's voice sharp like a knife, a warning to Jeice.

"My king, Vegeta had increased in power. He was roughly twice as strong as he should have been, Nappa was about four times his last register strength. But not only that, there was other aliens with him. One I think was another saiyan not registered with our army, and the other two looked human but had no tail. They all had comparable to the Ginyu Force's power." Jeice said, and then turned to Ginyu.

"Right, and then another appeared when I was punishing that group… and then another being showed up and took me out quickly. These beings can hide their battle strength. It may have been someone from their group, someone we don't know of yet." Ginyu began to support his only remaining team member. "They seemed after the Dragon Balls on Namek, so my guess is that is the reason they usurped Freeza."

King Cold stared down at both of these beings, his fury told him to punish someone. But there was no point in harming them. "Did you kill Vegeta and his men?" King Cold said coldly.

"We were unsuccessful in doing so, we did majorly harm them. It would take them a while to heal up to full strength." Ginyu spoke quickly.

While the Ginyu Force hoped this would be good news, King Cold felt his blood boil. "Saiyans get stronger when they survive hazardous events." He said attempting to keep his calm now. Today was not a good day.

"My King?" Ginyu was not sure what he meant.

"A saiyan left on a world that would be difficult to survive on, and lives… he gets stronger. He fights a creature greater then him… he gets stronger. It is part of their Saiyan blood, something I realized when I first found them. That King Vegeta, he wanted to keep it hidden. I figured one strong Saiyan would only help maintain the other weaker ones." King Cold explained to his former minion. The King had retired long ago but with his son so wounded, it may be time for him. A being stronger then Freeza, which meant he would be possibly greater then himself as well.

The remaining Ginyu Force stayed bowed as the King seemed to think. "The risk is too great to try and remove it ourselves. We wait for Freeza to be healed. I will make a call in private, open a channel in my room." His gaze turned to Ginyu and his cohort. "Go, reclaim your ranks of members of the forces. Begin your training and get them ready for battle."

Ginyu and Jeice stood, and moved quickly out of the room as they still feared the King's rage turning to them. A simply change in thought could be the death of them. King Cold instead left the chamber himself, toward his living quarters. "Open channels..."

-Sometime later, in space near Earth's moon-
A ship hovered over the moon, steady little workers ran about the ship as King Cold and Freeza watched through the main view port of the cockpit. Freeza with far less mechanical upgrades from the original story, his two arms and one leg showing treatment. His eyes looked down to the small blue marble in space, his mind on the creature that was the near death of him. "When we land, I want the ground raised tell we find them. Any Saiyan or Hybrid, are to be brought to me. I may not get my chance to punish the one who harmed be so, but I can enjoy the last of his pathetic race. Any little run-aways from Namek, you all can torment as you please." Freeza spoke his order.

"It would be easier to kill them from this distance." King Cold warned him.

"I don't want easy, daddy. I want them wailing in pain for what he did to me." Freeza remembered the pain, and the near year of recuperation he needed to just start the procedures to give him new limbs. "The scientists best hope that they are right in thinking these are able to keep up with me."

"Lord Freeza, we shall begin movement toward planet surface. Ginyu is ready to move with his men once they land to seek out the greatest power level and bring them in." A random soldier announced.

Freeza stretched out his neck lightly, allowing himself to relax. "I don't know why I am so angry… today I am going to be treating myself. Now how slow should I kill the first one?" Freeza said as he went into thought. King Cold wished his son would listen to reason, and not come straight to earth after recovering.

The earth soon felt two high power levels and the heroes made aware of Freeza's return. Tarble and Vegeta could not believe it, Tarble because of how powerful he was told he was and Vegeta because of the story he was told. One blast supposedly was all it took to make Freeza disappear, but apparently the space emperor was more durable then they thought. Many earthlings felt Freeza for the first time, unaware of the power the others faced and could tell they were completely outclassed. The heroes though moved to take up position in a wasteland, sensing the movement of the Tyrant toward that location. Part of them were glad that it would not lead to a battle in a city.

And as soon as a small time of peace was to begin, it is ended by the return of Freeza! Will the group be able to best the galactic Emperor once more? Will it all rest on Tarble? Has the future changes so much that no one will come to save them? And who was the call too from King Cold? Find out Next time!
