"King Vegeta, you asked to see me?"
Koola bowed before his lord and master Vegeta. King Vegeta was alone in his throne room. Vegeta himself was shadowed in darkness, exaggerating his features. Vegeta sat down, wearing the royal armor, complete with cape. He gazed at Koola.
"Koola…….I understand your power level has gone up significantly for quite some time now. Why?" queried King Vegeta
"My lord, I was motivated by sheer will to be your best soldier." Lied Koola
King Vegeta was silent for a moment.
"Your power level has doubled since you began to train again. I'd say you're more than motivated. TOO motivated, I'd say."
Koola silently panicked. King Vegeta must not know of his plan to overtake him. He SHOULD be off somewhere where his progress wouldn't be noted. However, the Royal palace of Vegeta was the best place to pick fights with strong opponents to train all the faster.
"My dear lord, I desire to enter the ranks of your elite royal guard."
"That's what interested me suddenly. Your name appeared on the list of candidates quite recently."
All thanks to that idiot of a Saiya-jin Taurus. He had recently got in a fight with him, and his power level finally reached the requirements after he was healed. For months, he had been picking fights with the members of the elite royal guards.
"Koola, after seeing so many names on the list, I only saw one of your race." Spoke King Vegeta
"Yes. I am proud to be the strongest non Saiya-jin in the universe. All to honor your greatness, Lord Vegeta."
Vegeta slightly grinned at that. This Icicle-jin knew how kiss ass.
"Koola, I never stopped to give a shit about your race. Let me know about the race that spawned a son worthy of standing with Saiya-jin."
"Yes, my lord.
Legend says the Icicle-jin were created long ago, by the Legendary Super Saiya-jin. His wrath flared and he destroyed a sun in one galaxy. Without any heat, our species quickly overtook the other species on the planet to claim ultimate power. We thrived in the cold, and learned how to use ki. Legend also speaks of an Icicle-jin born once every generation that has complete control over the cold. There are records, indeed, of no less than 12 who overtook empires single-handily of other species. Most were killed shortly after birth, for the people were afraid of their power and might. However, the time in between is very long, with our long life spans. To some races, 100 years is a stretch, to you, 150 is. But to us, 1000 is a young death. While you are directly related to primates, we are linked to several species. One is a lizard, others are primates, and some are invertebrates. Our homeworld in very closely linked to other planets. Legend says once an Icicle-jin was able to build an ice bridge between worlds. We conquered, then adapted their technology. We became civilized, creating a network of planetary clearing out. Then, we met the Saiya-jin race. I don't know if you know, but we had a 50 year long war. As soon as word of your immense strength reached us, we surrendered. No one wanted to fight a Super Saiya-jin. Ever since then we have worked loyally to aid you, the fathers of our race."
"Koola, that is interesting indeed. You may leave now, so as I can ponder your fate as a elite royal guard."
Koola exited the throne room silently. He walked to the palace gates and flew off alone.
Pub
Koola thrust open the doors and walked inside. He looked over the crowd already their, just some Saiya-jin and a few other races. He walked to a Saiya-jin and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Hey lizard, you touch me again and I rip off your head." He said
Koola smiled and lifted him into the air effortlessly. He tossed him behind him and sat down in his chair.
"Give me your hardest liquor." He demanded
The bartender looked at him and obliged. He was only a Saiya-jin, and he was a weak one at that. The one Koola just tossed was much stronger than he was, so the last thing he wanted to do was to make Koola angry.
"Here you go. 375% liquor." He said, passing him the drink.
Koola downed the drink like it was nothing. He could easily take drinks lower races would be killed attempting to. This particular drink would mean instant drunkenness to any normal Saiya-jin. As Koola drank, he felt a big heavy sweaty hand on his shoulder. He looked behind him and saw the Saiya-jin he just tossed with his gang of 7 or so men.
"Hey fagot, you don't fuck with us and live!" he said
"Is that so?" smirked Koola
The angry brought forward his fist. Koola caught it easily. He again threw him, but this time he was flying and came back. Koola smiled and grabbed him around the neck with his tail. With a little pressure the Saiya-jin's head came right off. His allies looked angry, and charged. Koola leaned against the bar, bored. He used his tail without even looking to quickly decapitate and smash the one Saiya-jin to the ground. He looked over, realizing the rest fled.
"You Saiya-jin are the dumbest assholes I've ever seen."
"That apply to me?" said Taurus, walking in the bar.
Taurus wore the royal Saiya-jin armor. His armor was gold instead of white, his shoulder extensions white instead of white. Behind that was a long golden cape. His gloves were gold as well. Even his jumpsuit and scouter were gold. Behind him was the newest of all recruits, a young Saiya-jin named Brolly. He was sent away as a child, but was so powerful the empire couldn't help but notice him. He had fought his way up ranks. He wore the same outfit as Taurus, but without the golden cape and royal symbol on the chest. The signs of a newly recruited.
"If it isn't my good friend Taurus with his fagot lovetoy Brolly! How unpleasant to smell you!" said Koola, mocking them
"Eat shit and die, lizard. How many times have we fought? How many times have I sent you to the healing tank? Every single time? That sounds right." Replied Taurus
Koola finished his drink and slammed it on the table, shattering both glass and table. The Saiya-jin bartender knew better than stick around. He blasted a hole through his own roof and fled for his life.
Saiya-jin Royal Palace
Celus walked around the palace grounds. He was a member of the elite royal guard. He was walking toward King Vegeta's chamber, for he had been summoned. Soon he arrived. King Vegeta was there, in not normal clothes. King Vegeta wore a black jumpsuit, with the Saiya-jin royal symbol on his chest. His gloves and boots were black. He wore no armor and no cape. It was his specially made training outfit. Celus immediately knew what would happen. He would spar with King Vegeta, and he would die.
"Ready?" grinned Vegeta
"Yes, lord."
Vegeta jumped forward, punching his gut. His fist went right into his chest, damaging him severely. Celus flashed into Super Saiya-jin mode, then kicked at him. King Vegeta went Super Saiya-jin, caught his foot, ripped off his leg in on swift motion, and finally kicked his back to break his spine. Celus breathed and spat out blood. King Vegeta powered down.
"YOU are supposed to protect me? A joke!"
King Vegeta turned in disgust and walked away. A shadowy figure came above him, and Celus was carried off by the giant.
Koola
Koola flew in the air with ease. He disappeared, and appeared above Taurus. He quickly brought his knee into his spine. He disappeared again as Brolly charged him. He was able to twirl around, making him an impossible target. Brolly flew at him and was knocked away like a fly.
"Amateur." Said Koola as he flew up behind a building
The three had long since flown out of the bar. They destroyed it in a ki battle, and made their way to the city. For the past half-hour they had been fighting using fists, feet, and ki. They were all at equal power levels, but Koola was more experienced and skillful than Taurus and much more than Brolly. Koola hovered against the wall in the air. Suddenly a figure exploded from the wall, tackling him. He got ran into the ground by Taurus, and then Brolly fired a ki blast in his face. Brolly and Taurus proceeded to beat Koola bloody into the ground. Brolly's scouter starting beeping suddenly.
"Nani? Check your scouter, Taurus!" said Brolly
Both Saiya-jin stopped the assault. King Vegeta was holding a meeting, and all members of the royal guard were to attend. Both flew off toward the palace. As soon as they left, the same shadowy giant came and grabbed Koola. He flew towards the spaceship landing area, Koola in one arm and Celus in the other.
Saiya-jin Royal Palace
Taurus and Brolly cleaned off Koola's blood and now stood in the meeting hall. Taurus noted the Saiya-jin Celus was not present, but ignored it. King Vegeta stood, in his royal armor. All members stood at attention.
"Listen up. We are facing a shortage of men. There are now currently only 6 of the 10 guards left. You are to find and train more and stronger guards. You shall each be given a planet with potential Saiya-jin Royal Guards, and it will be your job to find and train them."
One Saiya-jin, named Broc, spoke.
"Sir, what of the Icicle-jin Koola? Surely he has sufficient power."
King Vegeta walked to him with interest.
"I have decided that he will indeed become a member. Tell me Broc, what is your power level?"
Broc sweated a little.
"Sire, it is insignificant compared to yours. It is only –" he said
"40 million, sire." Said a new, rough voice
A Saiya-jin the likes the guards have never seen walked in. He was very tall, as tall as the missing Nappa. He had a receding hairline and a thick mane that ran down his back to his waist. He wore red armor, with no jumpsuit.
"Who are you, Saiya-jin?" demanded Taurus, while the guards positioned themselves in front of their king.
"My name is Raditz. But that means nothing, I am merely an instrument of death. My father is the truly significant one." He said
From the halls walked in the Saiya-jin Bardock. He was wearing grey armor with grey pants, the outfit of a soldier-scientist.
"Greetings, Lord Vegeta." Said Bardock, bowing.
"Get up. Listen up good, men. I am sending you on a mission. Bardock shall fill in the details." Vegeta said.
"We have had reports that the Planet Namek has exploded, and perhaps the Saiya-jin positioned on that planet. We shall form a team of the best warriors and scientists to go there and discover what has happened to the Saiya-jin Prince Vegeta, Kakarot, Nappa, and Temal. The team of scientists have been constructed, now for the list of warriors."
"Surely you don't mean us." Said Taurus
"Indeed he does. None of you could possibly defeat me in combat, so you are all expendable." Said Vegeta
"Yes. The whole team will consist of 12. 6 scientists, 6 warriors. I and 5 others shall be the scientists factions, with me commanding. My son, Raditz, shall lead the warriors. The other 5 are Broc, Taurus, Celus, Brolly, and the Icicle-jin Koola."
"Sir, Celus is wounded and Koola is missing." Reported Broc
"Really? Come on out." Said Raditz
Raditz smirked while Celus and Koola both walked out to the hall. Each had new armor, both gold. They had been healed and cleaned.
"Impossible! No healing tank could fix them that fast!" yelled Brolly
Taurus furiously gazed at Brolly. He silently said through his eyes for Brolly to shut up before they got in trouble.
"It is of no concern. They shall still go with us. We leave in 1 hour. Get ready." Said Vegeta as he walked away
As soon as he left, Taurus made his way up to Raditz.
"What the fuck makes you able to lead US? Your power level is puny, no where near ours. I could easily crush you!"
"Raditz, show them." Smirked Bardock
Raditz put his index and middle finger on his right temple. A black-silver metal immediately came out from his chest, breaking the armor. Soon it extended all over Raditz, covering him from head to foot. His fingers became claws; his face a mask, and even his hair all metal. Taurus's scouter went crazy.
"…………..Nevermind, sir." Said Taurus suddenly.
They all went off, and Raditz went back to normal. He smirked.
Spaceship Loading Area, 1 Hour later
Koola looked at the spaceship they were to receive. Not too bad, he thought. They were getting a full-sized one!
King Vegeta approached them all to send them off.
"Your mission should only take a few days at most. Find any survivors of the explosion, heal them if they serve the Saiya-jin, keep them alive so they talk if they don't. After you get the information, THEN kill them. Or, if they show potential, cyborg them. Bardock will explain on the way. After you have done all this, come back with an answer WHY Planet Namek no longer exists. Go now. For the glory of the empire."
"For the glory of the empire." All said in response.
Soon they took off to begin the journey.
The warriors soon found the training part of the spaceship. They began training, but Celus, Koola, and Raditz dismissed training. While Taurus, Brolly, and Broc would train and invite them to battle, they would always go to Raditz's chambers for hours. One day while the trio were sparring, they began to talk.
"What do you suppose they do in Raditz's chambers?" said Broc
"Probably fuck." Said Taurus
They all laughed for a second, then continued to fight.
"Let's go and beat the hell out of them." Said Broc
"We can't take all 3, one at a time, hell yes." Said Taurus
That night they decided to take out Celus, say he fell out to space.
That Night
Celus tried to fall asleep in his bed, but was unable to. Soon he got up and walked to the eating chambers. Taurus was there, eating a leg of some animal. Celus took out a large steak to eat. He threw it in the air, and powered up warm ki to cook it. His blast was suddenly canceled out by another blast, and the cooked meat fell on his hands. He turned and saw Brolly, with faint smoke coming from his hands. Brolly was grinning. Celus spun around and was instantly kicked away by Broc into the training area. Taurus caught him and threw him into the ground, then kicked him like a ball. Brolly fired another blast that hit him dead on. Celus hit the floor in great pain. He spat out partly dried blood. Taurus smiled then jumped.
Taurus landed his feet right in Celus's spine. It made a sickening crack as blood splattered. The three dragged his body to the hatch to the outside and tossed him outside. They then grabbed some tools to clean up the blood. In the dead of space, if they could hear, they would have heard metal shifting and moving rapidly.
"Took out that mother fucker pretty fast. Should've been training like us." Laughed Broc.
The next morning they told how Celus was tragically accidentally killed when the hatch opened and sucked him out to space. Raditz looked especially hard at Taurus, but they soon resumed normal operations. The next day, they finished their journey.
Namek Remains
The ship hovered by Namek. The remains of the planet were simply asteroids. A large belt of asteroids.
"How we supposed to find anything here? This is stupid!" said Taurus
"No problem. Raditz and me should find the bodies fairly quickly. Watch." Said Bardock
Bardock pressed his index and middle finger to his right temple. Instantly the metal covered his entire body. Raditz likewise transformed. They walked over to the hatch, and opened it. Instantly the great suction into space began.
"Are you crazy? You'll kill us all!" yelled a scientist.
Raditz and Bardock did not respond. They jumped into space, and Taurus quickly shut the hatch.
"Crazy bastards….." he muttered
Raditz and Bardock
Raditz floated through the quiet of space. Well, not quite.
"Bardock, I have activated my scanners. I detect a form up ahead. It might be Vegeta or Kakarot." Said Raditz
They flew ahead and arrived at a large asteroid. They landed and looked around. Bardock noticed a shadow on the ground and looked up to find the source of it. All he saw was a flash of white.
"Must be a dead animal from Namek. Keep searching." Reported Bardock
"Look at this!" said Raditz
Raditz stood next to a large hunk of metal. Bardock flew to it and began to examine it.
"It appears to be fully metal, though it looks like it's seen some action. Burn marks and ki blast markings all over it. A lot of loose wires, too. My guess is it was under extreme heat and pressure, which made it like a ball in shape. I wonder what it was originally. I'll take it back to the ship. You keep an eye out for more objects." Said Bardock
Bardock propelled the metal giant to the ship and left Raditz behind. Raditz then turned around and saw a small white alien. He was quickly knocked down to the ground, and he felt a tail wrap around his neck. A voice hissed in the darkness.
"Who are you, Saiya-jin?"
"Your executioner." Said Raditz
An electronic shock flew through his body, stunning his attacker. He then clawed him across the chest and jump kicked him into the asteroid. The alien went through the rock and snuck up behind him. He was tackled and then uppercutted. He forced all of his mass and strength into a punch that hit somewhere on the thing's body. As blood flew, he flew back and powered up. He set the damage for maximum and let loose. The asteroid was swiftly destroyed, along with the alien.
Raditz's scanners quickly focused on two detected forms. He saw the battered form of Vegeta and Kakarot, and grabbed them. He quickly flew to the ship.
Later on the ship
The scientists went to work on the bodies of Kakarot and Vegeta. They announced him soon dead. The Bardock came forward with a needle. He took it and injected it in Vegeta's chest. The silver insides quickly flowed into his body. As soon as he pulled out the needle, the silver liquid went over his chest. It covered his entire body in seconds. The areas where he had no limbs, the liquid still settled as if he did.
Soon the liquid began to harden into armor like Bardock's and Raditz's. All were amazed when a blue aura overtook him. Vegeta's eyes opened.
"YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed
"Vegeta! You were dead!" yelled a scientist in surprise.
"FUCK YES! THAT FELT GREAT! NOW TO KILL THAT BITCH AND THE MIDGET ICICLE-JIN!" Vegeta screamed
He jumped up off the table. He looked at his arms, and flexed his muscles. He thought, and the armor slid back until it disappeared into nothing. Vegeta checked out himself. He had become more muscular, and his limbs regrew. He grabbed a needle and walked over to Kakarot. He was in almost as bad a condition as Vegeta was. He took the needle and shoved it in his chest. The same process repeated for him. They were asked what happened, so they told all about Freeza and #8 and the others.
"Where shall we go now, my lord?" asked Bardock
"We shall go to…..Earth!" he said
