Chapter #13

The Storm Awakens

It was a bright space, light illuminating over the hallways. A blue-skinned alien with wild yellow hair was rushing over to his master. He spoke in an awkward accent, "Ze Lord Coora, zher is a message from your fatha."

Ignoring the accent, the demon surveying space turned around in his chair. He had an imposing look, much like his younger brother Frieza. His skin was a dark purple, with slight bits of white armor. When he spoke, it was dignified and deep, "Well Salza, relay the message."

Salza nodded, and he pushed the soldier that was sent to send the message over to Cooler. The soldier trembled and whimpered, "Lord Cold wishes you to c-come to E-earth with your r-rebuilt b-brother F-frieza."

Cooler raised an eyebrow instantly, "Rebuilt? Explain, now."

The trembling soldier responded, "F-frieza was a-almost killed by the L-l-legendary S-s-super Saiyan."

Cooler smirked, "Super Saiyan is nothing more than a legend, but tell him I'll come to Earth, it'll only mean one more planet for me to conquer."

The soldier nodded, and teleported back to King Cold's ship. Cooler tapped his finger, "A Legendary Super Saiyan…with power exceeding Frieza's. Perhaps it was wise for me to master my final form. With all three Cold Family members, the Super Saiyan will be crushed."

Salza nodded, "Ze Super Saiyan should enjoy zis last moments of life, Lord Coora will end him!"

King Cold's Spaceship…

"M-master, I have alerted Cooler to go to Earth," replied the alien.

King Cold yawned, "Yes, very good, all right now, the Super Saiyan won't stand a chance will he Frieza?"

Frieza growled bitterly, "Two father, there were two Super Saiyans."

King Cold waved his hand, dismissing the threat, "Well, not even two can stand up to the strongest in the universe. Frieza, you've never even seen my final form, and only have got a glimpse of my third form's power. What makes you think I can't take on both by myself?"

Frieza trembled, memories of King Cold's third form flashed through him. It was a restricted measure of his final form, he had told them, and he had managed to contain his final form's uncontrollable power into a suppressed and weaker transformation. Nonetheless, King Cold's third form still possessed incredible power, and the sheer aura was enough to cause eruptions and shake Planet Arcos, which was no easy feat.

Frieza turned back towards space, trying to find how close they were to his destination of interest. King Cold patted his back, "Rest assured my son, we will arrive on Earth and slaughter them all."

Frieza relaxed onto the chair, looking completely emotionless. Then, his face broke into a grin, "Indeed we will."

Earth…

Tien dodged another blow from Krillin as Chiaotzu blocked a hit from Yamcha. Tien began smiling, "Dang Krillin, you've really grown in strength."

Yamcha gave Chiaotzu and smile, "You too, I never expected you guys to be so strong."

Krillin fired more ki blasts, each easily deflected by Tien, "C'mon, show us the tricks you guys learned!"

Tien and Yamcha both began releasing a blue aura, and they both powered up. Tien smirked, "All right, you asked for it."

A sudden burst of crimson engulfed both fighters. A simultaneous yell rang through Earth, "Kaioken X2!"

All of a sudden, Tien's speed was boosted up to the point where Krillin could barely keep up. The former turtle student barely blocked a blow by Tien, but its strength was enough to knock him back. Yamcha was having similar results with Chiaotzu, to the point where firing a kiai wave was enough to send Chiaotzu flying back.

Tien grinned, "This technique is called the Kaioken, it boosts our power tremendously but in return, puts tremendous strain upon our body."

Yamcha leaped back next to Tien, "But it doesn't boost it up to just 2X, we can go up to 10X."

Tien nodded, and powered up, "Kaioken X3!"

Yamcha did the same as well, and the two blitzed towards Krillin and Chiaotzu. Krillin gave a shudder, "Such speed! I can't even keep up!"

Tien gave a "light" kick towards Krillin, and the human gave a comical cry of pain as he blocked it. The human leaped back as Yamcha did so as well. Both powered down.

Krillin panted, "That was amazing! Could you teach us the Kaioken?"

Tien smiled, "Yeah, but it'll take some time."

Meanwhile…

Piccolo traded harsh and powerful blows with Nail, both fighting at the full extent of their abilities. Both Namekians were fighting at such a power level that one would have trouble identifying them as the same Namekians that were kicked back by Garlic Junior easily. Each clash sent a roar of ki that caused a crater beneath the two powerhouses. Nail finally got an advantage and sent a powerful kick towards Piccolo.

The Demon King's son was sent flying towards the ground, but quickly and skillfully used kiai to lift himself back up. The two Namekians once again engaged in a brutal barrage of blows, with neither showing even the tiniest slip in their defenses.

Meanwhile, Raditz was training in the gravity chamber with Nappa, and the two fired ki blasts at powerful drones. Nappa could barely keep up the strain on standing in the 200X Gravity, but Raditz helped keep him up. The two Saiyans trained relentlessly side by side. Raditz blasted down a drone as Nappa fell, panting, the Saiyan quickly raised himself up, determined to surpass Raditz. They didn't exchange any words, but merely assisted each other instead. The gravity eventually was too much for Nappa, and they ended the training session.

As the silent day came to an end, Gohan grew more and more anxious about the arrival of his father and Vegeta. While Chi-Chi tried to calm him down, Gohan could not be calm, and spent his days being worried and having nightmares about his father.

However, one day, it happened. Gohan felt three astronomically large power levels, with two being similar to Frieza's, and one being identical, except…stronger. Urgent, he immediately called Krillin, and set up to battle. As the Z Fighters all met up on a cliff, they began slowly seeing the Planet Trade Organization as well as another ship descend to Earth. The humans gulped, and the Saiyans couldn't help but feel a slight shade of fear as well. Both Namekians readied themselves, and they quickly saw both ramps open.

Two figures walked out of the organization ship, a mechanized Frieza and a slightly larger second form Frieza. On another spaceship, a figure strongly resembling Frieza's final form walked out, and his lackeys followed. The Arcosian behind Frieza looked around, "So this is Earth."

"It's a beautiful planet, pity we have to destroy it," said the figure strongly resembling Frieza's final form.

He turned towards the Z Fighters, "I suppose introductions are in order, my name is Cooler, that his Frieza," he pointed to the mechanized Frieza, "and that is my father, King Cold," he gestured towards the hulking Arcosian.

Piccolo readied himself, "This power! It's nothing like Frieza's previous strength; no…he's holding back, he's gotten even stronger! And those two next to them, they're not weak at all either."

Nail clenched his fists, "I guess we'll go out all guns blazing."

All the Z Fighters powered up, and King Cold waved his hand nonchalantly, "Soldiers, after them."

Cooler commanded his Armored Squadron members to attack, "Fifty points for the Saiyans, twenty for the Namekians, and five for each Earthling."

The Armored Squadron members quickly went for Nappa and Raditz who tensed themselves, but a yell rang through, "Kaioken X4!"

A blitz of red light smashed through Neizu's chest, rammed into Doore's neck, and kneed Salza. All three Armored Squadron members fell, dead. The Cold Soldiers began to back away in fear, but a quick blast from Piccolo silenced them. King Cold raised an eyebrow, "Interesting, they're stronger than they seem."

Frieza cracked his knuckles, "Well then, let's see how they do against me!"

Particles of ki began to form one big energy ball, and a ray of light flashed. Tien quickly dodged the attack, and it collided with a mountain, destroying it instantly. Raditz flew up, "Take this attack: Double Sunday!"

Frieza batted it away nonchalantly, and two lasers popped out of his eyes, piercing Raditz's armor. The Saiyan fell down, coughing out blood. Cooler scoffed, "What the hell's the point of this; maybe this was all just a waste of time."

Suddenly, a blast hit Frieza. Turning around to greet the attacker, Frieza found a purple haired young adolescent with a blue jacket and a sword. He scoffed, "More Earthling invaders? How pathetic."

The man glided down, "Oh I'm not an Earthling, I'm a Saiyan."

Raditz and Nappa's eyes widened with disbelief, "A SAIYAN?! BUT ALMOST ALL OF THEM DIED!"

Frieza laughed, "Do you honestly believe I'm that stupid? I eliminated all of the Saiyans, except for these bastards and the two Super Saiyans. It seems you don't know what you're getting yourself into boy."

The man merely grinned, "Oh I do, I came here to eliminate you and your whole family Frieza!"

Laughing in disbelief, Frieza fired an energy wave at point-blank range, "Take that you weakling! Saiyan or not, it doesn't matter!"

However, blonde hair flashed through the rubble. Frieza suddenly froze and trembled in fear. The man now had green eyes, and a yellow aura around him.

Raditz yelled, "A SUPER SAIYAN! HE'S A SUPER SAIYAN!"

The other Z Fighters were in absolute disbelief, and Frieza was paralyzed with remembrance. His brother scoffed, "Frieza, can you not handle a little monkey?"

Frieza tried to speak, but it came out as gurgles, "T-that i-is the L-l-legendary Super Saiyan!"

He powered up, "No matter! I'll take one hundred percent of my power from the start." He turned towards the Cold Family, "Don't interfere! I'll finish this pest all by myself."

The man laughed as Frieza began powering up. Suddenly, a punch knocked the Super Saiyan back. Frieza fired a barrage of Death Beams to synchronize with the punch for maximum damage. However, the man got up quickly, only slightly harmed, "Well, that was surprising."

He teleported behind Frieza and sent a kick, to which Frieza blocked. The sheer force of the struggle sent shockwaves flying throughout the battlefield. The two were almost evenly matched, until the Super Saiyan got the upper hand.

Frieza powered up, "I don't care if you're a Super Saiyan or not, you will die by my hand!"

The Super Saiyan looked alarmed, and quickly used many complicated hand movements to create an energy ball completely blocking the energy beam. Both broke down into mere shards of ki. The Z Fighters looked astounded, as the only warriors they'd seen fighting at this caliber were Goku and Vegeta, and neither of them were as strong as the man was right now!

The man teleported behind Frieza and punched him straight towards a mountain. He powered up an energy beam, "You're finished Frieza."

However, the blast was intercepted by Cooler, who scoffed, "You really are pathetic now aren't you Frieza?"

As Frieza groaned, Cooler began transforming. King Cold raised an eyebrow of interest, "Oh my, what is this?"

Bony spikes appeared all over Cooler's body, and finally, his mouth was shut firmly with a mouthguard. He turned towards the Super Saiyan, and without warning, punched him. The man was taken aback and coughed out blood, "Damn this guy's strong."

Frieza coughed out blood and began to gasp, "Where? Where did you obtain such power?"

Cooler kicked Frieza's limp body, "Shut up, now do you see what being pampered causes you?" He pushed the brother into the wall. A Death Beam quickly charged from his hand and pierced Frieza.

The Arcosian spat out blood, but was still barely on the cliff of life. He clutched his stomach, but suddenly yelled. His hands were being crushed by another Super Saiyan, none other than Vegeta. While Cooler stared at them with interest, he was punched back by a now transformed Super Saiyan Goku. The Z Fighters began to cheer, as the two Super Saiyans had arrived. The man's eyes widened, "Amazing! Their ki, it's greater than mine!"

Vegeta gazed at him, "Who are you? Why are you a Super Saiyan?"

The man waved his hand, "That will be answered later, for now, we have to focus on the Cold Family threat."

Cooler quickly recovered and clenched his fists, "What the hell? Two more Super Saiyans?!"

King Cold stepped in front of Cooler, "I guess it couldn't be helped, it seems that I'll have to use my true power."

Cooler gasped as King Cold began ascending to his third transformation. Vegeta growled, "This is bad, originally, King Cold was barely spoken of in front of Frieza, as he was the strongest in the universe. If that power is what his second form can unleash, then his third and final form will be extremely powerful. Kakarot, get ready," he turned towards the stranger, "I hope you can handle Cooler, we'll need to handle Big Daddy Cold."

The man nodded and powered up to his maximum quickly. Krillin gulped, "Eh, they'll be good right?"

Tien swallowed a bit, "That ki, it's monstrous. That power can't even be considered ki; it's so vast it's like an ocean of power!"

Krillin gave a nervous chuckle, "You're talking about Goku and Vegeta right."

Tien didn't respond, but the grave look on his face was enough. King Cold had finally finished his transformation and gazed at the two Super Saiyans with malicious intent.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've accessed this transformation," King Cold said, "You Super Saiyans will be enough warm-up."

Vegeta turned towards Goku, "We'll charge him together Kakarot, 1….2…..3!"

The two Super Saiyans rushed at full speed, but were halted by the two gigantic arms that slammed them into mountains. Tien growled, "We'll have to help them! They won't be able to beat him!"

He charged up his aura, "Kaioken X10!"

Using his enhanced speed, he rushed towards King Cold, about to land a punch, but a mere flick sent Tien flying towards a mountain. The man was sent into a mountain by Cooler as well, and the Cold Family stood (with Frieza) grinning maliciously.
