The Saiya-jin space pod came ever closer to the planet Tsufro, it's pilot the eager Valix. However, something had just managed to catch his gaze from the lock it had on the planet. "What's that?" he questioned, as if talking to the pod. "Upon scanning, it appears to be a large space craft," the voice responded to him, showing him a vague outline in blueprint form. "Why, that's….!" Valix faded off, somewhat in shock. In light of what he'd seen, he commanded the pod to land immediately on the planet, already well knowing that the machine was at its peak performance. "If that's who I think it was, I've got a strong feeling that this won't end well," he thought as his craft now entered Tsufro's atmosphere.
Slowly coming down and landing with an echoing thud, the door of Valix's space pod opened with a hissing noise, the Saiya-jin's image gradually becoming visible. Looking around the planet, his eyes took in the landscape he was delivered unto. Just then, his green-tinted gaze became illuminated with various figures and signs, coming to a direct stop when an arrow had pointed him toward a large mass of protruding rocks. Numbers had followed this arrow, displaying what signified power level readings. "Two readings…," he commented, his hand to the scouter pressing a button on the paneling. One power level read zero, while the other was fluctuating at a very low number. Prodding another button on his ear-mounted device, his image erupted in a blue flame as Valix took to the air, now headed with fixed eyes toward the fallen bodies. Valix's expression suddenly lost its calmness, though, as the vague figures slowly began to take form.
Laying there in a wretched, bloody mess were Arsel and Garick, Valix's image swiftly landing beside them. Running over to Arsel first, he looked him over to find that he unfortunately had already moved from this existence. Closing his eyes in a moment of silence, Valix removed his armbands and applied them to his brother's wounds, his fists clenched to the point they were trembling. Just then, Garick's voice came from behind him, calling his name. Turning in something of a hopeful light, he found his father's heavily damaged body still with some life left in it. "Valix…," he repeated, his son now at his side. The still-shocked Saiya-jin was removing his headband, attempting at his fastest speed to try and bandage his father's deepest wound. "Hang on, father! I know you despise me, but you can't die!" he exclaimed in response.
Taking heavy breaths, Garick gathered the power to speak once more. "Listen, Valix…I don't despise…you. I…," he trailed off, Valix looking more to his face. "Father, don't talk!" he responded, still hanging on the words he'd said just now. "No…you must hear this. I…truly did care…for you. I did what I did…because I had to…I knew that if I pushed you…that you would eventually…surpass even me. I always cared for you…but I wanted to make sure…there would be none stronger than you, my son," he continued. Valix could only stare at him, amazed, yet moved in his true knowing that his father did care for him. "Before I die, know that…Freezer did this. There…was a spy among us who attacked when we confronted Freezer," he went on. Valix's anger simply grew all the more, at both the instability of some Saiya-jin's honor, and at the vicious Freezer.
Placing his shaking hand on the shoulder of his son, Garick somehow managed a few more words. "Valix…I don't feel my life lasting much longer. Always remember, though…no matter how things may look, if you are truly striving for the greatest good…nothing can stop you. You are a Saiya-jin warrior…the highest and proudest race in the universe…and you are my son…and I am proud of you," he concluded. With that, Garick sucked in a heavy breath, and in his spirit's fading, he released it with closing eyes, his body slowly succumbing into stillness. Calling his father several times, Valix shook him to no avail. Finally in realization of the truth, he simply kept as he was. He shed no tears to the ground, or shook a fist to the sky. Valix simply removed the articles he'd placed on his family in an attempt to save them and reequipped himself with them.
With his appearance now accented in the dark red hue of his family's blood, Valix stood and looked to the sky in silence. Suddenly, the empty-soul Saiya-jin released a scream which could have crumbled the jagged mass beside him. "FREEZER!!! YOU WILL DIE BY MY HAND FOR YOUR ACTIONS, I SWEAR BY MY FAMILY'S HONOR!!!!!" he devastatingly called to the sky in an unrivaled rage. With his furious call slowly fading into the sky, Valix now went burying his father and brother, this taking almost no time with the pent up rage he felt.
Having now lain down his kin, Valix returned to his pod and began back toward Vegeta-sei. Freezer would be dealt with, but there was someone of greater blame to take care of first.
