JDX: Right, don't drop your GT train of thought yet (not sure who you had in mind... but don't rule them out yet!), why? Simple. Though I ignore GT as Cannon I don't mind rapping it for things. Characters, character designs, anything else I feel like swiping. So, no, don't give up yet! Course, that don't mean it's from GT (or could he be? Hmmmmmm.... XD ) As for the memory loss, simple. When Zildar split it wasn't a natural division (the scene will be 'seen' in this saga actually) and his memories were damaged. That's my reasoning. As for Guru, he's just become an elder. He's still normal size and under 200 years at this point, as for the DB's, it shall be explained. Don't worry to much, I have things planned out fairly well I think.
One last thing. Even though I'm showing the past via Slug's flashbacks I'll still show things he couldn't possibly have seen or have knowledge about. This is just to give you a better understanding of what happened.
Chapter Eight - Parunga
"What is that!" A voice cried near King Frigid's ship. The large tyrant looked off to where his troops were looking. Two massive glares of green light had flared up out of no where and the ground was beginning to shake.
Frigid glanced down at a soldier a few yards away. "Power readings?"
The soldier reached up and activated his scouter. "Two of them, they just hit thirty thousand and are climbing..." There was spark from his scouter and it exploded. In the distance the aura's flare larger and waves of power began to wash over the area lifting up rocks and knocking over the soldiers.
"So who did we miss and what are they up to?" Frigid wondered. Suddenly the light grew blindingly bright and then flashed and spread outward. Once the light cleared from their eyes the world looked normal to them. "Go and found out what's going on." he ordered. The soldiers swallowed and took off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is done." Razor said. The two Nameks were panting heavily and staring down at their hands. "Company is coming." The two turned and saw a few glows of KI in the sky coming toward them. Zildar turned to speak to Razor again but the man was gone.
"Let's take care of these scum." Slug said charging a ball of KI in his right hand. A second later he thrust his arm out and fired a massive stream of green energy at the nearing soldiers. The blast engulfed and destroyed them instantly.
/I can feel the power, and the Darkness./ Zildar thought as he watched the attack launched by Slug. /But it seems he's been swallowed by it already... no Namek would do something like that. Perhaps merging with Slug would have been a better idea./ Zildar shook his head. /No, he'd have never agreed to my being the host and I would never have agreed to him being the host./ "I'm going to find Guru and Kattats, I can still feel father's mind and he isn't to far away."
"What for?" Slug asked.
"To Summon Parunga and undo what these two and their army have done." Zildar replied looking around at the decimated planet. "Go ahead without me, you should be able to hold off Frigid by yourself now."
Slug grinned. "No problem." There was a flash of green about him and he sped off leaving Zildar to himself. The elder of the two Nameks watched him vanish over the horizon before locking onto his father's mind. Turning in his direction he lifted into the air and sped off toward them. The trip only took a few moments and by the time he was landing the sounds of distant battle reached his ears, Slug had reached Frigid.
"Elder Guru, Father." Zildar said bowing lightly as he entered the small cave where they sat.
"You've changed." Guru said as the warrior entered.
"A stranger offered us a chance at victory, at survival. Slug and I took that chance." He shook his head. "At a high price I fear, the darkness within us stirs now, fully awakened." He looked at the two Nameks before him. "I have a request."
------------------------------
Slug pulled to a quick stop and dropped down to the ground. His eyes locked firmly onto the two aliens before him. The young Cold smirked. "And here I'd thought you were dead. Come back for more have you? Some people never learn."
"You can't beat me now." Slug said in a deep growl. "I'm far stronger than I was before."
"Oh please, there's no way you could have gained that much power in such a short time." Cold said, his smirk growing. Frigid remained silent, his eyes studying the Namek before. "I'll rip you to pieces this time."
"Wait." Frigid order stepping forward. "Stay back Cold."
"What? But father, why!?"
"He's... different." Frigid replied. "Changed somehow..." His eyes narrowed. "No... that's impossible!" he cried a second later, eyes widening in shock. "How could someone gain so much power in such a short time!"
"What is it? What's going on?" Cold asked. Unlike his father he couldn't sense KI.
"His power... it's gone up more than a hundred fold!" Frigid stared at him in shock for a moment longer before regaining his composure. "Cold, return to the ship, now. I'll handle this."
"Yes father."
As Cold returned to the ship the massive form of Frigid shot forward. Slug brought his arms up and blocked the blow aimed for his face. The force of the impact hurled him backwards but he re-gained his balance in mid air. Looking back down he found the tyrant flying straight for him. He dodged to the right and slammed his foot into Frigid's elongated face. He then flipped around behind him and cracked a fist into his armored back knocking him down into the ground.
Slug dropped down quickly, foot aimed for the back of Frigid's head. However, the tyrant rolled over at the last second and grabbed him by the leg before slamming him down into the rock. Both were on their feet in seconds. A flurry of punches came from each of them, some were blocked, others dodged, and a few hit their marks. The two split apart once more and then surged head on at each other. Both pulled back their fists as they swung but Frigid's passed through thin air.
The ground exploded upward as Slug shot up from beneath it and pounded his fists into the tyrant's abdomen. Frigid used the momentum to spin around in the air and smack his tail across Slug's jaw. The powerful Namek was knocked for several hundred yards before smashing into a pillar of rock. He exploded forth a moment later, brilliant green aura about him, and charged at the Changeling once more.
Both launched a right hook at the other, the blows connecting in the same instant and knocking them apart once more. As he was being knocked away Slug fired a volley of KI blasts. Frigid managed to deflect them and then launched a blast of his own. Slug slipped around it and then shot in slamming a foot into Frigid's stomach. The two warriors split off from each other and floated in the air panting lightly.
"I'm quite impressed actually." Frigid said after a moment. "I never thought I'd need to use my full power against anyone other than a Changeling. But your power is at least equal to that of Glacier, the former King of the Changelings." He emphasized the word former to make it clear that he'd taken over, by force. "So you shall be one of the few to see my true and ultimate power. The only other living being to have seen my final form is Cold, the rest are all dead."
"Enough talk!" Slug called out. "If you had any more power you'd have been using it by now. You just can't stand that someone else is your equal."
"You? Equal to me?" Frigid asked with a smirk. "Don't bet your life on that so soon." He clenched his fists and left out a roar. A red and purple aura flared to life about him as his body began to ripple. The waves of power rushing from his body tore up the ground a hundred yards beneath them and lifted the rocks into the air. Slug brought his arms up to shield his eyes as Frigid's aura flared blindingly bright for a second. When he looked back he saw glowing cracks snaking their way across the large alien's body. A second later another blinding flash came, this time accompanied by an explosion.
When the wind and light died away Slug got his first look at the new Frigid. He was about six foot tall and almost completely covered in white armor. On his shoulders, shins, head, and lower chest were spots of purple that looked almost like glass. His face was the only part of him not covered by armor. The alien's appearance hadn't been the only change, his power had jumped up about fifty percent as well. "What.. what the hell!?" Slug cried.
"You just witnessed my transformation into my fourth and final state." Frigid said, his voice slightly deeper than before. "I am the first and only Changeling to ever attain this level of power. There is no force in the universe that can withstand my wrath. I offer you a place in my ranks one last time. Refuse me again and I will destroy you."
Slug drifted back slightly unsure of what to do for a moment, and then shook his head. He clenched his fists and quickly charged energy about them. "You want my answer? All right, here you go!" he cried thrusting his arms forward and launching the powerful wave of KI at the transformed Frigid. The tyrant didn't bother to move, the energy slamming into his body and exploding. When the smoke and glare faded Frigid remained, unharmed.
"Fine. Then you can join the rest of your race in the afterlife." There was a flash of red about his body and he launched in at Slug once more. The Namek tried to dodge to the side but the Changeling's tail glanced across his face cutting him over his eye. Slug dropped to the ground and looked up at his opponent. "Come on, you're wasting my time." Frigid called down.
Slug clenched his fists and began to channel his power. He glared up at the alien and was about to say something when a crash of thunder echoed across the battlefield. Slug turned his head to the right and watched as the sky darkened considerably. A bolt of lightning flashed and was followed by another rumble of thunder. And then he saw it. A spark of gold just over the horizon. There was flash of light and then a stream of gold erupted into the darkened sky swirling and flowing. "Ha!" he called out with a sense of victory. "Parunga!"
Frigid narrowed his eyes and watched as the golden energy transformed into a giant Dragon, it's voice booming and clear even at their great distance. "You who have summoned me to this plain, speak now and I shall grant any three wishes within my power."
"What the hell is this!?" Frigid shouted looking down at Slug.
"Don't you worry about Parunga, you have bigger problems." Slug called out as he resumed his power-up. Green energy danced across his body as his muscles rippled and pulsed. And then, he began to grow. Eight foot, ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty, thirty, forty, and finally stopping at fifty foot. The giant Slug grinned. "Much big problems!" his voice rumbled. His power had increased with his size, but he still wasn't as strong as Frigid. /No matter, this evens things a bit./ He was just about to attack a shocked Frigid when Parunga's voice boomed out once more.
"That... is beyond my power. Only one person can be resurrected per wish."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Zildar watched as Guru and his father laid down the last of the Dragonballs, the set that Kattats had created hundreds of years ago. Mulsk had originally been selected to replace Kattats as Grand Elder but the Namek had died decades ago and Guru had been selected to take his place. Though the young elder possessed the power to create a set of Dragonballs he had not yet done so and would not until the current ones were no more.
Kattats stepped back from the large spheres and spoke quickly in Namek. "Eternal Dragon Parunga, arise from your slumber, I summon you forth!" The balls pulsed and sparked, the sky darkening quickly, and then the energy erupted forth. Seconds later the three Nameks stood beneath the large form of Parunga.
"You who have summoned me to this plain, speak now and I shall grant any three wishes within my power."
Kattats turned and nodded to Zildar. The warrior Namek turned his gaze toward the large creature and spoke in Namek. "Revive those Nameks killed by Frigid and his army!"
"That... is beyond my power. Only one person can be resurrected per wish." Parunga boomed.
Zildar looked toward his father. "What?"
Kattats shook his head. "I knew his resurrection powers were limited but I'd had no idea... I used the same design we have always used, such a wish has never been needed before..."
Zildar nodded. Those who had died would remain dead then. It could not be changed. However, his plain must still go on. He was uncertain how to phrase the wish. Zildar turned to the others. "Keep Parunga ready. I will contact you telepathically once the battle is over. You know the wishes to make?"
"We do." Guru said. "May the Kai's watch over you Zildar, you are perhaps the greatest Namek to ever live."
Zildar nodded and turned to leave but Kattats grabbed his shoulder. "Before you go." he said softly, his hand glowing gently. The glow passed slowly into Zildar's body and then faded. "Use them wisely."
"I will." Zildar walked a few feet from the group and then shot off toward the battle.
One last thing. Even though I'm showing the past via Slug's flashbacks I'll still show things he couldn't possibly have seen or have knowledge about. This is just to give you a better understanding of what happened.
