"Who are you yelling at?" Crow asked as he came into the house.
"You were outside? I've been yelling my lungs out for about an hour now, why didn't you come in earlier?"
"Look outside" Crowe shrugged with a grin on his face.
Fridge looked out of the window, outside there was nothing but a wasteland of rubble and a few larger rocks in the shapes of letters spelling out 'I rule'.
"So besides, the letters, what's so special? " Fridge asked "...... Wait a second ...... didn't there use to be a bunch of mountains and a plateau here?"
"Well...." Crowe grinned as he held up a hand of rubble.
"You levelled this entire region in an hour?"
"Yeah, I tried out some new techniques, not all of them were all that effective though. Did you know that it's possible to focus ki into a beam rather than just a ball?"
"I did, but I chose not to tell you about it...."
"Why not?"
"When you made that beam, you were on the ground. I know this because if you weren't, you probably wouldn't have been alive now."
"Again: why not?"
"Because you're a Youcmou-jin and you have hollow bones and a very strong force when it comes to Ki. A beam attack will push you miles away, into the ground or even into space. Especially when you're not wearing weighted clothing."
"Ok, gotcha ..... now give me my surprise" Crowe said eagerly.
"Very well, sit tight." Fridge said as he walked over to his desk and pressed the Planettrader emblem, causing it to split open and reveal a computer-console with more buttons, levers and displays than Crowe had ever seen before. Then he walked over to a picture of King Cold and his brother-in-law Ice Boss, Fridge's father, in front of a burning planet, both of them doing the 'two finger donkey ears thing' on each other, and revealed even more buttons and displays.
"What is going on here?" Crowe asked as Fridge moved even more furniture, revealing more equipment.
"Well...." Fridge explained as he flipped the power switch on, "This was once my command ship."
"Wait a second... Do you mean that...." Crowe started to ask suspiciously.
"Yes... I used to be a commander in the Planettrade, entire races have become extinct because of me. I am very sorry of this and I will never let it happen again!"
"Ya.... very interesting and all but I already knew that .... I was going to say: do you mean I've been lugging this place every where while it could fly perfectly well on it's own!! I even moved it to other planets damnit!!" Crowe exclaimed.
"Oh don't whine, you needed the exercise."
"Fridge, you're a real bastard!"
"Of course, being around you does that to people."
"Oh you're so funny…. Not!" Crowe replied, "But anyway, where are we going?"
"Remember that base you mentioned? We're going to go there next."
"I thought that place was off limits."
"It was when there were people there, but the ship's scouters do not detect anything."
"If there's no one there, then why are we going there?"
"There are training facilities and warehouses there, we may be able to use the food and clothes, as well as the training equipment."
"So we won't be kicking any ass?"
"I'll kick –your- ass if you don't stop whining."
"And I still want to destroy something" Crowe thought as the ship took off,
"Hey Fridge, hold on. Can you stop when we're in orbit?"
"Sure, why?"
As they stopped, Crowe opened the airlock and shot a single blast of Ki at the battered remains of the planet, blowing it apart.
"Holy ****, Crowe why the hell did you do that?"
"Felt like it"
"Seriously Crowe your destructive urges are going to get you, or worse: me, killed one of these days."
