Chapter #14
Cold Family Power
Goku and Vegeta both panted as they faced their new obstacle, the incredibly powerful King Cold. The youth was too busy facing off against Cooler, while Frieza had begun to terrorize the Z Fighters.
As the cruel, maniacal tyrant began to tease and laugh at the Z Fighters, Nail panted and reached his hand towards Piccolo, "I've seen that you've changed, your heart is no longer as evil as it was before, nor it is as diabolical as it was during Namek. We shall merge, with you being the host."
Piccolo swallowed, and then nodded. He grabbed Nail's arm, and felt a sudden burst of energy as the Namekian's body faded. Frieza suddenly gasped in shock, "What the hell is this?"
Piccolo stood up, "Frieza, you're gonna pay for all the innocent Namekians you killed!"
He teleported right in front of Frieza and rammed his fist into a hole near his chest repeatedly. Frieza yelled in pain as he got punched several times in his weak spot. The Namekian then threw him in a 360 degree angle and launched Frieza into the ground. Tien panted with surprise, "He's not nearly as strong as Frieza, but Frieza being weakened by Cooler helped a lot. Now I'd say that Frieza still has a slight advantage in power, but they're mainly about even."
He powered up to Kaioken X10, "We'll need to step in."
In an amazing burst of crimson, he rushed over and punched Frieza. The tyrant yelled and then sent a kiai wave of rage and anger that pushed both Z Fighters back. Piccolo panted, "He's still strong, we can't underestimate him."
Meanwhile, Cooler was knocking the youth around. While the Super Saiyan was trying his best to keep up, Cooler was just stronger. The tyrant also had a much more calculated technique than Frieza's, fighting with a style that specialized in offense and defense. Cooler punched the youth down, and then fired a barrage of Death Beams straight at him, "Ha! How'd that feel?"
Goku and Vegeta were struggling against King Cold, but had a speed advantage thanks to Instant Transmission, a technique they had learned from the Yardrats. King Cold failed to catch them again, and Goku sent a powerful kick towards the father of Frieza and Cooler.
However, the emperor was barely fazed, and threw Goku into Vegeta, knocking both fighters back. Goku panted, "I don't know if I can really keep up my level of power right now."
Vegeta scowled, "Damn it, we discovered the Legendary Super Saiyan, only to have it fall short in strength to mere scum like this!"
King Cold teleported in front of Vegeta, "Mere scum?" He blasted the Super Saiyan at point-blank range, and when Vegeta emerged, his armor was cracked.
Goku panted, "Ka-me-ha-me…" then he suddenly teleported in front of King Cold, "HAAAA!"
King Cold's eyes widened with shock as the large wave completely engulfed him. Goku panted, his energy reserves nearly depleted. Vegeta didn't respond, but readied himself in a battle stance.
King Cold rushed towards them with anger in his eyes, "You dare attack me?! You are mere simian monkey scum!"
He rushed over to both Goku and Vegeta, hitting both of them in their faces. The two Super Saiyans fell back, panting with exhaustion. Vegeta growled, "Kakarot, do you have anything I don't know about up your sleeve?"
Goku managed a laugh, "Sorry Vegeta, you know all my techniques."
Vegeta scoffed, "Ignorant Kakarot, you should have at least picked up something new. Well lend me some of your energy."
"What?!"
"You heard me Kakarot lend me some of your energy!"
Ki particles flew from Goku's hand. Vegeta nodded and began powering up, "Try to distract him."
Goku nodded and powered up. His aura roared like a lion as he rushed towards King Cold. The two engaged in a flurry of blows, before King Cold immediately rushed for Vegeta. The Super Saiyan raised his eyes in alarm and Goku instantly rushed in front of him to block the hit. Vegeta growled, "Time for nothing, Super Gallic GUN!"
King Cold growled as the blast consumed Earth. Both Cooler and Frieza looked to see the gigantic explosion consume their father. Frieza began growling, "Damn it, Father's growing weak as the fight goes on, he must be able to use his final form!"
King Cold emerged and panted, his whole body completely covered with bruises. He was exhausted at having to fight two powerful opponents, and barely fought at the same power he had before.
Vegeta grinned, "Excellent Kakarot, he's only as strong as I am. Let's finish this."
King Cold prepared to transform, and Vegeta teleported behind him instantly, "Not this time idiot!"
He rammed his fist into King Cold's back, causing him to plummet straight into the ground. He powered up an energy blast, "Gallic Gun!"
However, he was shot in the stomach by a Death Beam. Vegeta coughed out blood, and saw that his attacker was none other than Cooler, who lay over the unconscious youth's body. Cooler began laughing as he fired another Death Beam.
Vegeta slowly fell down, reverting out of his Super Saiyan form. Goku yelled with panic, "Damn it! He covered his ki! It can't end here!"
He fired a Kamehameha at King Cold's injured body, and boosted the intensity of the blast quickly while he felt Cooler's ki engaged in battle against Piccolo. Goku finally gave a sigh of relief as he felt King Cold's ki completely disappear. The Super Saiyan rushed over to aid Piccolo.
He quickly landed a swift blow to Cooler's spinal abdomen. The Frost Demon plummeted down as Goku fired a barrage of ki blasts. Meanwhile, the Z Fighters were struggling against Frieza, who was effortlessly blocking each of their blows. The mechanical tyrant quickly blasted Tien to the ground, who was knocked out with exhaustion. Yamcha and Krillin attempted to aid him, but both were knocked to the ground by Frieza. Goku looked over to them, but was hit in the head by Cooler.
The Frost Demon showed absolutely no mercy in his relentless attacks, beating Goku down whenever he was distracted. Goku managed to block an attack, and sent another blow towards Cooler. The Frost Demon flew back in anger and rage.
Goku suddenly felt Frieza's ki rise quickly and growled, "Damn it, this isn't good."
He turned towards Krillin, "Give Vegeta and the youth a Senzu Bean!"
Krillin yelled, "We've only got two left, what should we do about the others?"
Goku scowled, "We'll take care of it after the battle! HURRY NOW!"
Krillin nodded as Piccolo covered him. The Namekian trembled as a barrage of Death Beams stung and pierced his body. Krillin put two hands to his hand, "Solar Flare!"
The ray stung everyone's eyes, but Cooler moved towards Krillin with his ki sense. Goku teleported in front of Cooler and punched the Frost Demon's abdomen. He yelled towards Krillin, "Don't hesitate, do it now!"
Krillin nodded and swiftly gave Vegeta the senzu bean. Without a word, the prince turned Super Saiyan and rose up to fight Cooler. Before he could give one to the other Super Saiyan, Frieza teleported in front of him and attempted to kill him. However, he was stopped by Goku's Instant Transmission. Krillin gazed up to see a gaping hole in Goku's left breast. Goku coughed out blood as he attempted to fend off Frieza.
Frieza showed no mercy, kicking Goku's wounds whenever he could in their battle. Every few seconds, Goku would cough out blood allowing Frieza to get another open shot at the Super Saiyan. The youth suddenly teleported in front of Frieza and kicked him away from Goku.
He smiled towards the fellow Super Saiyan, and the youth smiled back. Goku powered down to his base form, content in letting the two Super Saiyans deal with their respective foes. A giant burst of ki caused Goku to yell in shock, Cooler was preparing a Supernova, while Vegeta was preparing his Super Gallic Gun. The two beams met in midair, causing a clash of ki beams.
All of the warriors were blown back by the astounding energy that the two beams had, and shockwaves rippled through Earth. Eventually, Vegeta's beam gained the edge, and began to push Cooler back. The Frost Demon yelled in shock and anger as the Supernova shattered into ki. The Super Gallic Gun overpowered the demon and sent him flying straight to the sun.
Vegeta panted, and plummeted down, with all his energy drained. Goku caught him, and put him beside the wounded Z Fighters. Meanwhile, the youth knocked Frieza back. The mechanized tyrant began yelling with outrage, "IMPOSSIBLE! THE COLD FAMILY CANNOT BE DEFEATED BY MERE MONKEYS!"
The youth walked towards him, an energy blast in his hands, "See ya Frieza."
The blast destroyed the last remains of the tyrant and marked the fall of the Cold Family.
Later…
After Goku had healed, the youth had arranged to have a word with him. Once they were outside of the Kame House, the youth began to speak, "You're more than I had believed, Son Goku."
Goku laughed, "You weren't bad either, but you can probably guess I have quite a few questions."
The youth nodded, and then took a deep breath, "My name is Trunks, and I'm a Super Saiyan from an apocalyptic future where everyone is dead. I came here to warn you about two Androids, models 19 and 20. They share resemblance baring that of an old man and a fat clown. At first, they can be easily defeated, but they have a mechanism called Super Android that boosts their powers far beyond that of an average Super Saiyan. Three years from now, death arrives," Trunks clenched his fists, "They die, all of them, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Piccolo, and Vegeta. After that, they killed everybody else linked to the Z Fighters, and Dr. Gero seems to have a grudge against all Saiyans. He's ruled the world now, and is tyrannical and oppressive to humans. The only one of you that manages to escape is Gohan, but they track him down and kill him too. I'm the only one left in the future, the only Z Fighter…"
Trunks recalled the memories. Android 19 had been easily tossed around by the Super Saiyan Vegeta, until Gero gave him permission to use his Super Android form. Once transformed, he easily defeated Vegeta, but Vegeta gained the upper hand with his Ascended Super Saiyan transformation. However, it wasn't enough against both Androids, and his chest got impaled by 19's hand. Gohan had told him stories about the event, shuddering each time he remembered Android 19 throwing Vegeta's dead body to the Z Fighters.
Gohan told him about the gruesome deaths of the Z Fighters, Yamcha being shot in the stomach with eye lasers fifteen times, Tien who got his arm ripped off and impaled by his own hand. Krillin, who had his entire chest area blown off, with no signs of a heart ever being there. But it was Piccolo's that haunted him the most. Gohan used to have a close connection with the Namekian Nail, and watching Piccolo die was like watching Nail die. 19 had savagely ripped off Piccolo's arms and blast the Namekian ten times. After Piccolo was still alive, he brutally chopped him in half with his bare hands.
Trunks turned his attention back towards Goku, "Vegeta…he obtains a transformation called an Ascended Super Saiyan, ultimately, it was able to put up a fight against 19, but both 19 and 20 overwhelm him. Vegeta is the key to the victory against the Androids."
Goku scratched his head in confusion, "But what about me? Wouldn't it just be over if I transformed into an Ascended Super Saiyan?"
Trunks shook his head, "No, when they strike, you get a heart virus. It kills you and you never get to fight the Androids."
Goku looked grave, "Oh, I see. So you're saying that I have no chance to help them at all against these guys?"
Trunks pulled out a capsule, "Here, my mother invented this. It is a heart virus medicine that will cure you of the virus. Be sure to take one pill each day. I wish I could stay here, but the Androids are still threatening my world. Farewell."
Before he left, he turned towards Goku, "In case you're wondering, my mother is Bulma and my father is Vegeta."
He leaped onto the time travelling machine as Goku gave a look of shock. He yelled, "Don't tell anyone about my parents!"
Goku nodded and went back into the Kame House. Piccolo stood there, his arms crossed, "Killer androids eh?"
Goku gave an expression of surprise, "How'd you know?"
Piccolo growled, "Did you forget that Namekians are granted with super hearing? Of course I could hear the conversation you dolt. But I won't tell anyone the secret parts."
The Z Fighters all had their attention towards Goku, even Vegeta did. Goku began telling them what happens in the future, killer Androids, able to overcome Super Saiyan easily. After the story, Vegeta scoffed, "Well all I have to do is perfect this Ascended Super Saiyan form, and use a Super Saiyan form even beyond that."
With that, he left and flew away. Piccolo scowled, "Such ignorance, he won't be like that once the Androids beat some sense into him."
Gohan gulped, "So you mean all of us die?"
Goku nodded, "We'll have to train super hard if we want to have any chance of survival."
The Z Fighters all set out to train, with Raditz and Nappa attempting to follow Vegeta.
Dr. Gero's lab
Android 20 stood up from the operating table, "At last, the transplant is done, well done Android 19."
The other Android nodded in appreciation, "It is my honor to serve you," he said in a high pitched voice.
Android 20 glanced at the pods modeled 16, 17, and 18, "I'm glad that with the Super Android ability our powers have surpassed them. I didn't want to use those defective models."
He put his hand on a glass tube, "But you…" he laughed at the mere baby of what was to be the ultimate Android "You will be very special indeed."
Android 20 glanced towards 19, "Are you ready? I have a very special day in mind, and the Z Fighters will only know terror and destruction on that day."
Android 19 grinned, "Son Goku will regret ever crossing paths with the Red Ribbon Army…"
Spaceship…
The saiyan with wild palm tree-like hair yawned, "Are we almost there Crusher Corps?"
A red alien with awkwardly feminine hair replied, "Yes Lord Turles, only about twenty more minutes since we reach orbit."
Turles sat back on his throne, "Good, I hear that both Son Goku and Vegeta are on this planet, so I shouldn't be bored with entertainment. Two Super Saiyans should give me a decent warm-up."
The rest of the Crusher Corps began chattering excitedly, they were eager to see just how much power the two fabled Legendary Super Saiyans had acquired. Turles raised the last fruit of Might, and ate it. He grinned as his power quickly skyrocketed, "Good, I should have enough power to defeat them now."
The Crusher Corps cheered as the spaceship slowly made its descent to Earth.
Meanwhile…
The Z Fighters stopped sparring and landed on the ground, "Whoa, do you feel that plethora of incredible ki?" Tien asked Krillin.
The bald monk gulped, "We'll definitely need Goku and Vegeta if we're going to get through this one."
A sweat bead dripped down Tien's head, "Right after Frieza too, this is going to be bad…"
