Hi everyone welcome to another chapter.
.
Clark made his way into the main hall of Mongul's palace. Since he had defeated the former emperor. Warworld's rebellion had taken over the palace. Putting their leader in charge, until a formal vote in the coming weeks. Meanwhile Chip and Arisia had started to take Mongul and the other generals towards Oa. Clark knew that the people of this world wouldn't adjust overnight to this new system. However he was confident that they were on the right path. Soon the Kryptonian was joined by Hal and Goku. Who had started getting to know each other.
"So you held the entire power of will?" Goku questioned.
"Stung like a bee." The green lantern from Earth responded. The room soon fell silent as Goku and Superman both stared at one another. Goku though, was the first to break their silence.
"Listen, I'm sorry. You warned me about Mongul from the very beginning. And I didn't listen to you." Clark though raised his hand. Stopping the Saiyan from saying anymore.
"No you were right." The man of steel said, confusing Goku. "When you said I needed to have more fun. I can't inspire people if I'm such a stick in the mud. From now on, I'm gonna show people that brooding isn't required to save lives." The two shook hands as Arisia and Kilowog entered.
"Took you guys long enough!" Hal quipped.
"What is that thing you like to say? A lantern is never late, nor early. He arrives precisely when he means to." Arisia replied.
"Hey! No one uses film references except for me!"
"I thought you said it was a book?" The four had a good chuckle between themselves.
"Alright, so Kilowog. Why did you gather us all here?" The man of steel asked. The alien lantern showed off some type of recording device.
"The rebels had discovered that Mongul was keeping tabs on Cooler. He had spy's sending him Cooler's communications. Apparently they came across one that involves the two of you." Kilowog explained, pointing at Goku and Superman. "Don't know what's on here, but it can't be good." The elder lantern hood it up to a screen and played.
"Hello father, how can I help?" A voice that everyone assumed to be Cooler said.
"My son, we have finished rebuilding your brother. He has finally awakened from his coma." Goku was especially shocked to learn Frieza had survived Namek's explosion. "I am personally overseeing the mission for your brother's revenge. And I ask that you accompany us!"
"This isn't a request is it?" Cooler now sounded sarcastic.
"No." King Cold now sounded a lot stricter. "I'm sending you some coordinates, meet us in three days."
"Why are we going to Earth father?"
"This is the planet that this Saiyan trash took refuge on after Vegeta's destruction. We are simply going to remind him of that day. Oh and before I forget please bring..." Before King Cold could finish, the transmission cut out. Goku and Superman immediately walked towards the exit. Hal then hurried after.
"Hang on a second, you use one of those ships and you'll never make it." Hal explained.
"So what do you suggest?" Clark responded. Hal slightly raised his ring.
"Simple... a lift."
.
Back on Earth, Vegeta and Diana were sparring with one another. While Krillin, Bulma and Yamcha were sitting down talking. Each attack that connected sent a strong wind blowing, almost knocking over Bulma. The two were very much enjoying themselves until the CEO of Capsule Corp had to step in.
"Alright that's enough for one day!" She ordered. Vegeta especially was very annoyed.
"Earth Woman! We are in the middle of a battle!" He yelled.
"Well if you want to continue, then get a job and purchase your own house. But until then you'll listen to me!" The Saiyan prince scowled, powering down. He was especially annoyed when he saw Diana sniggering. "Something funny Amazon?"
"Eighteen months, and you are still testing Bulma's patience?" Diana wanted to know. Vegeta though just turned his head to one side. The Amazon princess started to joke "Oh, did the mighty Bulma stop you from having fun?" This made Vegeta even more angry.
"The prince of all Saiyans will not be treated this way!"
"Oh if you do want me talking to you like that, then catch me!" Diana soared up into the sky, closely followed by Vegeta. The two guys sitting down, just blankly stared.
"Don't know wether I should be amazed or terrified that Vegeta's found a friend." Yamcha commented, making Bulma slap him on the back of his head. "What did you do that for?"
"Your comment!" The heiress responded. "I think it's wonderful that they've both got a friend. It can't be easy being separated from their families."
"Sorry but I gotta agree with Yamcha. Let's remember that It was Vegeta who murdered Diana in cold blood. And now they're like the best of friends." Krillin interjected.
"Well I think it's wonderful. You two could sure learn a lot from Vegeta." The two gentlemen suddenly laughed out loud.
"The only thing we can learn from Vegeta is how not to pull off a pink shirt." Vegeta though immediately flew in front of them.
"I heard that baldy! You're going to regret the day..." The elite suddenly stopped, he looked up to the sky shocked. "No... it can't be." Soon Yamcha and Krillin started to sense something. Krillin especially looked scared.
"Um guys... what are those three signatures I can sense?" The desert bandit asked. Krillin started to tremble, he had only ever sensed such power once before.
"No... It can't be." The bald monk stuttered.
"Damn it! Kakarot, you've failed!" Vegeta angrily yelled. Diana now joined the group.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"I can sense him... Frieza's alive!"
.
Gohan also started to sense Frieza's presence. The son of Goku quickly started to change, while making a phone call.
"Kara it's me!" He blurted out.
"Gohan? Is everything ok?" She responded.
"No it's not! Frieza is alive!" This sudden news shocked the young Kryptonian girl.
"I thought your dad beat him?"
"So did I. I guess he survived the planet exploding."
"So what do we do now?"
"Come to mine, soon as possible. I'll lead you towards the energy signatures. We have no choice but to fight."
.
It was a strange feeling for Barry, running so slowly. However if he was to find out where Frieza was landing he had to follow Bruce, Dick and Arthur. Who had been picked up beforehand. The scarlet speedster had been contacted by Bruce who was told by Bulma. Fear was the only thing in Barry's mind right now. The last time he had faced Frieza it almost cost him his life. He certainly didn't want to fight him a second time. Eventually though Bruce landed just outside the amazon rainforest, where Tien, Chiaotzu and Piccolo waited.
"Hey, nice to see you guys again." Barry said.
"Wish it was under better circumstances." Tien whispered, looking back at Chiaotzu. At this point the other three joined them.
"Tien, what can you sense?" Batman asked.
"About fifty Ki signatures right above us. Most of them we can easily handle. However three of them have power I never deemed possible. One of them has definitely got to be Frieza."
"I'm still new to this sort of things. So can someone please tell me who this 'Frieza' is?" Surprisingly it was Piccolo who answered it.
"Frieza is an intergalactic tyrant. He conquers planets, and then sells them to the highest bidder. We all fought him on Namek and couldn't even land a scratch. It took Goku to fulfil some ancient prophecy to beat him. So unless you have some power in that stick of yours then we're in real trouble."
"This 'stick' is the trident of Atlantis!"
"Is that supposed to mean something?" Arthur started to walk towards the Namekian, but was stopped by Chiaotzu.
"Let's save it for the bad guys." The small being pleaded. Arthur took a breath, and calmed himself. At this point Kara and Gohan turned up. Dick ran towards the pair.
"You guys made it!" He almost yelled out.
"Of course, we wouldn't miss this!" Kara replied, ready for battle.
"Just remember your training, and don't do anything stupid." Piccolo reminded Gohan.
"Yes Mr Piccolo!" The student told his master. Off in the distance, everyone else finally arrived. Diana landed first followed by Krillin and Yamcha. Behind all of them was Vegeta. Everyone chuckled when they saw the prince's pink shirt.
"I will kill all of you!" He yelled as almost everyone started to laugh. Bruce though decided to get back on point.
"So what are we facing exactly?" He asked Vegeta.
"Frieza, his father, brother and minions." The Saiyan sheepishly replied. Everyone looked worried, but Yamcha was now freaking out.
"Oh man we are so screwed." He said pacing up and down. Which started to have an effect on everyone else.
"Will you relax!" Diana ordered.
"How can I? It took everything Goku had to defeat Frieza. That isn't a luxury we have at this particular minute. Think about how many people are depending on us? We're so dead!" Surprisingly it was Kara who slapped him in the face.
"Will you take a breath? Win or lose we are going to fight. So I suggest you start to man up!" She shouted, surprising even Vegeta.
"She's right man." Krillin interjected. "Truth be told I'm absolutely terrified. Let's remember, I was the one who died on Namek. However if we have any chance of winning then..." suddenly the dark knight stopped him.
"Hold on... I hear something!" He whispered. Within a second the caped crusader threw an EMP. It revealed a Capsule Corp ship which now lightly crashed. The door opened and Bulma walked outside.
"Bulma? What are you doing here? This is going to be ground zero."
"Sorry, but I wasn't at Namek, so I wanted to see Frieza." She answered the bald monk.
"Are you insane? You'll be killed!" Arthur added.
"I don't need advice from someone with a stick!"
"It's a trident!"
"Like I care!" Their argument was suddenly halted by Piccolo.
"They're here!" He yelled. Everyone looked into the distance as an ominous looking spaceship landed.
"We can't fly over there without their scouters picking us up!" Gohan hypothesised.
"Maybe they can sense you. But they can't sense me." Flash added. "I can sneak us near wherever they landed, without being spotted." Everyone agreed as Flash started to take them all to their enemies. Until only Vegeta was left standing.
"I am not being carried like some damsel!" He shouted.
"Look it's either get a ride from me, or walk." After a big scowl, the prince agreed to a ride.
"Fine." Instantly Barry carried him towards the others. Trying to keep himself calm, Barry started to joke.
"Cause your the one thing. I can't get enough of. So I tell you something. This could be love." He sang. When they arrived, everyone was staring at the ship. There hadn't been any movement since it landed. Until suddenly the door opened. At first there were a couple of soldiers stepping out. However soon Frieza stepped out of the ship. Everyone who was on Namek were shocked at Frieza's now cybernetic body. His tail had been completely altered, with half the body as well.
"That's Frieza? He doesn't look so menacing." Aquaman noted.
"Don't let his appearance deceive you. Frieza could destroy this planet in an instance if he wished." Piccolo stated. Right then a towering figure twice the size of Frieza stepped out. He resembled Frieza's second form, but was obviously much older.
"That's his father King Cold." Vegeta whispered. "Now all we need is Cooler and..." Right on cue Frieza's older brother stepped out too. His appearance was similar to Frieza's first form, minus the horns. However while the younger brother's skin was a light pink. Cooler's was a much darker purple. "And the whole family's here." All three observed their surroundings.
"My god, what a wasteland. Remind me again why I'm here, other than to bring him his secret weapon." Cooler whined.
"It's because we are the rulers of this universe. And we have to remind everyone that any insubordination will result in death." King Cold told both his son's.
"Alright then destroy this planet so I can be on my way!"
"No!" Frieza demanded. "Not yet. I want that miserable monkey to watch his planet explode. Only then will I grant him the relief of death." Frieza clenched his robotic fist in anger. All of a sudden everyone could hear a sonic boom. Within a split second the man of steel had arrived. Kara felt overjoyed as she saw her cousin again.
"Kal!" She yelled, coming out of her hiding spot.
"Kara wait!" Barry whispered.
"So much for the stealthy approach." Tien commented. As everyone walked towards the mini army, Clark held his hand up to stop them.
"Everyone stay back. I can handle this." He said, turning to the three tyrants. Frieza started to laugh.
"Well this is certainly a surprise. I was expecting your monkey friend, but until then you'll have to do." He challenged the man of steel.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but Goku is gonna be a little late. Though I think I'll be enough."
"My you are confident aren't you?" Frieza then turned to his brother. "Cooler pass me it."
"Remember your manners brother." Cooler joked as he threw something over. Superman looked to see a glowing green rock in his foe's hand.
"A rock? You expect to beat me with a rock?" The man of steel said, taking one step forward. However as he walked forward his body became heavier. His powers began to fade, as did his ability to stand. Superman knelt on the floor in pain. For the first time in his life, he was powerless.
"You like it?" Frieza asked. "It's how I kept up your race in line. Radioactive fragments of your planets surface. Though we call it... Kryptonite. Clark was struggling to even breath. This feeling was liked being chocked. Kara and the others tried to help. But was stopped by a Ki blast from King Cold.
"You... cheated!"
"I rule an entire universe. Did you honestly expect me to play fair?" Frieza put his robotic hand up, ready for the killing blow. "Don't despair, you'll be seeing your friends and family very soon." Clark wanted to close his eyes. But he couldn't, for some reason the Kryptonian needed to see it. The Ki on Frieza's finger lit up. However before he could finish the job, Frieza's robotic hand suddenly cut in half." Frieza grabbed it, seeing the damage for himself. "Who dares?" Superman expected Piccolo, Flash or Kara to have saved him. Yet it wasn't them, or anyone he knew. Suddenly standing to the left of them was a young man. He had blue hair and carried a sword. He wore a dark blue Capsule Corp jacket on top. The young man turned a looked towards Frieza, speaking to him.
"So? Any chance of a surrender."
.
So how's that for an ending! Hope you enjoyed.
Reviews:
Sailordragonball87: Gone
X3runner:
1: originally it was something a little different. But it was so much like the tfs moment I decided to just make the reference.
2: that's the plan
Blazenite104: I'm gonna do a mixture of both. Goku's never going to be the hero that Supes is. But he's not gonna put fighting above his family either.
Dark flacon:
1: Hoped you liked my own spin
2: Sort of
3: Thanks
Dragondave45:
1: Without spoilers I'll say MIA for Turles and Slug
2: did I surprise you?
Jalen Johnson: Maybe as a cameo, but not as a main villain.
Guest 1: Glad I could compensate.
Guest 2: no worries if you don't have anything to say, then it's fine
qwsmarch: So glad we cleared the air.
Guest 3: Fair enough. I totally get why you like Goku that way. However for me there comes a time when a character has to challenge their philosophy, so to speak. Especially in the D.C. universe where there are many villains that will challenge you mentally as well as physically. I'm not taking away Goku's love for fighting. Cause like you said, that makes Goku, Goku. I'm just saying that maybe he could learn that there is more to life than fighting.
