Chapter 5 Cruelty Incarnate

(This is a warning for you people who get queasy. There is some gore found here)

Meanwhile on the Planet Saiya.

King Kudamono watched helplessly as Blizzard marched into his throne room. His daughter Snow, his brother Thunder, his wife Ice, and his general Chill followed Blizzard.

Five, five of the bastard Changelings had come with over 20,000,000 troops to subjugate the planet Saiya. They had arrived seven hours after he had sent his daughter Ichigo away. They had landed and quickly began searching out only the high level Saiyans. Kudamono had personally lead his warriors into battle. It was all for naught. Blizzard's forces had quickly overwhelmed the Saiyan line. They had captured or killed anyone who was a threat. The King himself had been captured by Ice less then five minutes into the fighting. Now that they had finished herding those Saiyans with power levels over 10,000 like cattle into holding pens, they had finally come for him.

"Well, well, my good King Kudamono. Your people put up quite a fight. When we caught you last Friday, it only made them fight even harder." Blizzard said as he looked to the five brutes that had held Kudamono captive for the past few days.

"Now there is a problem. One that you could fix for us. We have rounded up all of the Saiyans that we did not have to kill outright. Your daughter is not one of the dead, and she is not one of the captives. WHERE IS SHE????!!!"

"Gone, where you can't hurt her." He replied as he spit into Blizzard's face.

Blizzard licked the spittle off of his face and slapped Kudamono.

"No, but I can hurt you until you tell me where she is. You have a reputation of caring for your people. Because of that, I am going to make you suffer. There are about 200,000 warriors that we rounded up. I am going to kill every last one of them one at a time in this room right in front of your face, until you tell me where she is."

"No, you can't do that, you heartless demon!!"

"I can, and will if you don't tell me!" He then turned to one of his guards, a strange lizard-man with a power of around 150,000, and gave an order. "Bring in the monkeys."

The King, tied to his throne with ki limiting shackles and gloves binding him could only watch in horror as Blizzard walked up to General Meron.

Meron knew what was coming and just looked at the king with a look of wonderment in why this could be happening.

Then Blizzard grabbed the Meron's head and squeezed it until it shattered like and egg. Blood and brains splattered around the room. Blizzard sucked up a piece of brain and slowly swallowed it.

"Yum, I should feed you monkeys to my solders. It is a lot easier than getting other food."

Meron was in all actuality, King Kudamono's only real friend and had been his best man at his wedding. Kudamono's anger was incredible, had his power level been high enough, he probably would have become a Super Saiyan. Unfortunately, all he could do was shout.

"You heartless, cruel bastard! We never did anything to you! I'll never let you get my daughter!"

"Hehehe, suit yourself, GOOD King Kudamono." Blizzard said as he turned to look at the guard again. "Bring in the next one."

The guard returned shortly dragging a woman behind him.

"Oh no, NO, NO!!!! You wouldn't, not even you could be that heartless!" Kudamono yelled as he recognized the next person being brought in.

It was Aoikinomi, Meron's 8-1/2 month pregnant wife. She was due in two weeks and had not had an easy pregnancy. The bruises on her face and arms also told him that she had not been taken easily. She saw the body of her husband and tried desperately to break free.

"Ah, such a pity, she looks like she would have brought quite the warrior into this world." Blizzard said to the King as he walked over to her.

"No, please, I beg you!" she whispered looking at her fallen mate.

Blizzard kicked her in the stomach, hard. She went down and coughed up blood.

"Oh, look, she is making such a mess of the carpet. I just can't have that." Blizzard said as he went over to stand on her neck preventing her from coughing up more blood. This of course also slowly strangled her over the next ten long minutes. Ten minutes in which all the king could do was beg and plead and cry out in inner anguish.

"She went to find the Super Saiyans!" he finally broke and shouted. But it was too late, too late for the baby, and too late for the mother. Blizzard removed his foot in time for her last gurgling breath. Then, she was gone. Meron and his wife had lost two children in their youth. This had been their last chance to raise a family. The bitter taste of bile in Kudamono's mouth was nothing compared to the pain in his heart. 'I failed you, Ichigo,' he thought. 'Just like I have failed Meron and Aoikinomi and their child. Just like I have failed everyone. Please hurry, the people need you.'

The king couldn't even lift his eyes from the dead body of Aoikinomi as Blizzard prepared to leave the room.

"There, was that so hard?" he asked before giving new orders to his men. "You remove these bodies. You go get some more. I would suggest you use the higher-powered women first. Women have such emotional impact on men. Oh, and if they are pregnant like that one was, consider it a bonus. Thunder, find inventive ways to kill them until I come back."

"NOOOO, I told you what you wanted to know. Leave them be! Just kill me and get it over with!"

Blizzard turned around. "Oh no, I can't do that. You are going to watch your precious people die one at a time until I can tell you that your daughter is dead. Then when all the rest of you pathetic monkeys are dead, then and only then you will die. The last living man of a pathetic dead race!" He turned and left the room. "Come, Snow, I have work for you."

King Kudamono sat in total helpless desperation, and wished for his own death.

* * *

"You told me that your message would bring her back." Blizzard yelled at Banana.

"You told me that you would kill the king and name me his replacement." He responded.

"Oh, don't worry. I'll still name you king. After I have had my fun with the Good King Kudamono."

Blizzard turned around and pinned Banana to a wall. "Part of that fun is telling him just how his daughter met her end. Since she is not here I CANNOT DO THAT!" Blizzard was quite upset.

"She went to find the mythical Super Saiyans. Obviously there is some sort of wormhole as you call it linking this space to where ever Cold and his sons went. You are going, take five of your most trusted men. You are then going to find this wormhole and go through it. Since I believe that the Namekian was lying to scare me, you will most likely find Cold or his sons in charge there. Give them this."

He then gave Banana a small tablet with writing on it. It was in a language that Banana had never seen before.

"It tells them that there is a Saiyan Princess lose in their space and you were sent to kill them. It is signed by me and will be respected."

He paused and looked at Banana. "Once you have killed her, you will return here with your scouters and after we show him the manner in which his precious daughter met her doom, I will kill the king in front of you and name you the new King."

"Just make sure you do." Banana replied.

"Now go find your men."

After Banana had left, Blizzard turned to his daughter.

"Father, you already knew where the monkey-girl had gone. Was the show in there for your benefit or for your soldiers?"

"Actually it was for the GOOD king. He had to betray his people to protect his daughter. I wanted to see how long it would take to make the man crack. Seems it only took two. But when we have proof that his daughter is dead, then, then he will finally have betrayed or failed everything he has ever cared for. It will be a delicious moment."

"Yes, indeed it will, Father. Now, what did the message you just gave the traitor actually say, Father?"

"What I told them it did, and for Cold to kill them after they had killed the girl. It also said not to damage the scouters, as they will record the girl's death."

"Yes, I thought as much. He is arrogant. He acts as if he is your equal. Why do you tolerate such nonsense?"

"Because he is a fool. He gave me all the information I needed to conquer this planet and actually thinks that I only plan on killing the king and his loyal supporters."

"Yes, and just what are your plans for this planet?" Snow asked cynically.

"The Saiyans have always been a decent proving ground for our troops. I plan on keeping it that way. Once we have killed off all the high level warriors, we will do with the rest as we wish. We can have our soldiers kill almost all of the males, as they are only useful as targets for our men. The better-looking women can be sold as concubines to our armies. As long as we do not allow any pregnancies we will not have to worry about those matings. The rest can be bred for the fodder they are. Yes, I do like that idea, a continuous supply of Saiyans to the slaughter. They will make an excellent means for training our armies."

"Yes, and as long as we keep close watch we will never need to worry about that silly myth of theirs." Snow sneered.

"Yes, about that, we must be more serious. There is a very slight possibility that what the Namek said was true. You are to follow the Saiyans to the wormhole. Then you will wait for them. If they return, kill them. If they do not, most likely they delivered the message to Cold and are by then dead. Once a month has past, go through the wormhole and make sure that they die. If there is no sign of Cold, kill the Saiyans quickly and comeback with the scouters, without being followed. We cannot afford to have anything that could kill Cold and his sons finding a way here."

He looked down at her sternly. "If Cold is still alive, you are about the same age as his youngest son. Possibly it is time for you to find yourself a suitable mate."

"FATHER!!"

"Yes, I know. Now go, you must not let Banana return here alive."

And this should be the shortest chapter of the whole fic. But it is a stand alone chapter, so I guess it can be short.

Please Review! Honesty is important to me.
