The Judge
Out of the shadows of darkness, a figure bathed in pure blackness emerged in the cowl of the fog. The loud clanging of a disturbing bell echoed through the chilled bones of Trunks and Pan. The figure's black cloak seemed to stretch on forever, a hood over the stranger's face and strands of black hair. Black rubber gloves and arm bands flex over the helm of the man's massive hammer. The man known as "The Judge" flared his black eyes forward.
The Judge was now locking eyes with his most perplexed opponent, Frieza. "The Judge? Is that supposed to be a joke or something, I don't get it" Frieza said. The dark man smirked "Does murder sound like a joke to you Frieza? Of course it does, I wouldn't exist unless trash like you was around, just begging to be cleaned up". The white alien was immediately losing patience with this black preacher, his words seemed only to stir up anger and hate.
The Judge continued "It makes me sick to my stomach to see you roll around in this pathetic, sin soaked shit hole you call a life". Frieza screamed "SILENCE". The alien fired a direct laser beam at the Judge, but the beam only slashed through a shadow. In seconds the Judge had materialized right behind Frieza, like a shadow. "Where do you get the gall, the NERVE to call yourself god? What kind of worthless life form are you?" Judge asked.
Angrily Frieza turned around again and fired his eye beams at him. But once again the Judge had vanished, and once again he appeared behind him. The Judge continued still "Killing defenseless planets and civilizations must be loads of fun; I bet that's EXACTLY how you get your kicks, eh Frieza? Do you beat off to that kind of repulsive entertainment, make you feel all warm inside?". Countless torments continued to haggle and hound Frieza's mind.
No matter what he did, the Judge was always 2 steps ahead of him. Taunting and exposing his emotional wounds, raping his intergalactic pride, and destroying Frieza's confidence. "SHUT UP AND DIE DAM YOU" Frieza screamed. Two pink energy discs formed in Frieza's hands, he was using his Kienza disc attack. Frieza smirked "Your mouth goes pretty fast, but let's see if you can AUGH". The alien's jaws suddenly gushed with blood.
Trunks and Pan gasped in horror, a black gloved fist had been hammered into Frieza's chest like a cannonball. The power and magnitude of the Judge's strength was vividly shown in Frieza's pain soaked face. "You worthless little maggot, you don't deserve the gift of life, you never DID, NEVER" Judge howled. A powerful smash of Judge's hammer sent Frieza crashing into the ground. Frieza moaned, a huge crack was in his skull.
Purple chunks of bleeding skin chipped from Frieza's fractured head, a colossal dent was made in the Earth's crust. "I d-d-d-don't believe it, he just took out Frieza in 2 hits" Pan stammered. Trunks gulped "Who the hell is this guy? Where did he come from? I mean this doesn't make any sense. Even if we somehow did end up in an alternate reality, we still should see some of our friends around here. But this guy, he seems as strong as Goku".
Frieza growled in exhausted fury "This is impossible (coughs blood), there's no way. How could Zarbon, Dodoria, and the Ginyu force all have been destroyed by one man? But furthermore why am I, FRIEZA losing to him? He can't be a Sayian, I wiped them out years ago except for Vegeta, Nappa, and Radditz. But then if he's just a human, then how did he defeat the last remaining 3 Sayians all by himself? No one's stronger then me, NO ONE".
The Judge frowned "You kids might want to shut your eyes". A massive charge of energy formed in the Judge's raised hand, Trunks and Pan immediately shut their eyes and backed up. Frieza gasped "What the?", The Judge hurled the energy blast directly at Frieza. An astronomical explosion erupted just as Frieza rolled to the side, barely dodging the colossal blast. The Judge growled and fired another blast, and another, and another.
It took all of Frieza's energy just to keep his distance from the onslaught of atomic energy attacks. Frieza was now shivering on his knees, face down on the ground and trembling all over. "N-n-n-n-no this can't be, this just can't be" Frieza stuttered. A hateful glare from the Judge burned deeply into Frieza's back. Frieza howled "What the hell are you? This doesn't make sense, I'm the most powerful being in the universe, ME, NOT YOU!
Yet still you somehow manage to beat me move for move, it's just not possible. I just don't understand I AHHH" Frieza cried out in pain. The Judge drilled his black boots deep into the flesh and bone of Frieza's tail, blood oozed from the wound. Judge growled "Shut your mouth, you make every ounce of my being wretch in disgust. Millions of innocent lives, all mercilessly slaughtered before your feet, killed for your personal pleasure.
You're no god, your no Supreme Being, your nothing more then a sick, demented, FREAK who gets his jollies out of the agony of others. Just because you're stronger then others, doesn't give you the right to treat them like animals. Your strength puts you above no one, especially justice, you hear me Frieza?". Squeals of blood curdling agony roared from Frieza's lips as he ripped his tail in half, separating the limb so he could escape the Judge.
The dark hooded warrior growled and smashed his left leg into Frieza's gut, flipping the alien onto his backside. Now Frieza was face to face with his terrifying opponent. The Judge raised his hammer and said "Frieza, you have been convicted of intergalactic genocide, slavery, torture, and shown nothing but cruelty to every form of life you've met. Your judgment: DEATH". Pan and Trunks looked away as the Judge raised his mighty black hammer.
"No wait don't" Frieza begged, Judge hissed "The wicked will be punished". CRUNCH! The sickening splatter of purple blood, shattered bones, and liquefied flesh painted all over the brunt of the black hammer. Frieza was dead, silenced forever by the mysterious Judge. "I think I'm going to be sick" Pan gagged, Trunks just stared in total shock. The Judge stared at the 2 Sayian's before returning to the skies, vanishing once again into the mists.
Pan gags "Okay, would someone PLEASE tell me what just happened before I lose my lunch? (Cheeks turn green)".
Trunks scratched his chin "I think we just met this reality's primary guardian".
The dark haired girl blinked "Huh? You mean that's the hero that crazy guy was going on about?".
Trunks nodded "Exactly, he must be the one who protects this world, just like Goku does for our home".
Pan asked curiously "But wait a minute, if this really is a part of our reality, then where is Goku? And where's everybody else?".
Trunks answered "Things happen differently in each reality Pan. For all we know they could be dead, on a trip, or even working at regular, everyday jobs. Anything is possible when it comes to other worlds".
Something suddenly caught the attention of the young girl's eye, her cheeks fluttered a bit with joy at the sight of a familiar face. Or rather symbol.
Pan cheered "YIPPE! Trunks look, it's Capsule Corp. HQ. We could go in there and try and find out more about this world, and keep us safe from the Judge".
Trunks simply groaned "But Pan, didn't I just tell you? Just because there's a Capsule Corp. here doesn't mean they know who we are, I could be a janitor here for all I know".
The girl pouted and simply flew down towards the building herself, Trunks shook his head and groaned.
Trunks sighed "I really need to get a leash on her or something".
The Sayian's floated down towards the main entrance of the building, the front gate seemed totally deserted. Trunks and Pan entered CC only to find it completely empty. The building wasn't in bad shape or damaged anywhere, yet still there was not a single staff member to be found.
Pan shivered a bit "Creep city, maybe coming in here was a bad idea".
"Huh?" Trunks said.
The young teen noticed something on the front reception desk, it was a flashing light on the telephone. Trunks carefully examined it.
Pan asked "What is it Trunks?".
Trunks examined the phone "Signs of life, so to speak. It looks like someone is rerouting all the phone calls into another room somewhere inside this building".
Pan scratched her bandana "Why would someone want to do that?".
"Dunno, maybe whoever lives here wanted to stay put" Trunks said.
Pan frowned "And how do you know anyone's here? The whole place looks like a ghost town to me.
The young Sayian boy looked to her and smirked.
Trunks replied "Because, why would someone reroute the phone lines to a specific room unless someone was there to receive those calls?".
Embarrassed blushes paint Pan's pouting face, the girl simply frowned and shoved the boy up the stairs. Trunks and Pan were heading up to the room where the calls were being fed to. The room number was 206. It didn't take long for the Sayian's to soar up the stairs, and locate the room they were looking for. A dark green painted door with white numbers reading "206".
Trunks blinked "Looks like this is the place".
Pan gulped "Uh yeah……um you go first?".
Trunks smirked "I believe the expression is ladies first".
The girl grunted and kicked Trunks in the shins.
Trunks screamed out "OW".
"HMPH jerk" Pan snapped.
Reluctantly the girl opened the door slowly, and cautiously as well. Inside the room was a sight that none of the 2 Sayian's could have expected. Vegeta, unconscious, lying on a hospital bed and completely covered in wires and machinery. Life support devices were all over Vegeta's body. A faintly beeping heart monitor kept track of Vegeta's heart, weakly beating. Also in the room was a woman with blue hair, and a fiery pair of green eyes.
Trunks and Pan gasped "Bulma?".
