After making an emergency landing on a frozen world; Broly, Cheelai, and Lemo find themselves hunkered down in a cave; listening to a tale being told to them by a member of Frieza's people who claims to have been the tyrant's former right hand. Once he is done, Lemo attempts to put Icin's story into perspective. "So what you're telling us is that Lord Frieza murdered your father, then manipulated you into serving under him. Correct?"

Icin nods. "Yes. That is correct."

"Hmph. That's quite the coincidence. It seems that we're are all here for similar reasons then. Our friend Broly was manipulated by his own father to assist Lord Frieza just a few months ago." This catches Icin's attention. "Me and my associate took a great risk in helping him escape."

Icin glances over at Broly and Cheelai. "Hm. I see. It's quite fortunate that you've all managed to make it this far. Under Lord Frieza's watch, insubordination...treason...could be a death sentence."

"You're right about that. Come to think of it, that could be the reason why your father was killed."

Icin nods. "Indeed. My father never saw eye to eye with Frieza. Hell, he didn't even trust King Cold. After his death, Frieza would always tell me that my father was weak-willed, too compassionate, and that he paid the ultimate price for it. I should've known."

"Your father was one of the good ones then." Icin affects a half-smile. He sips some tea, and Lemo continues talking. "We are fortunate to have met you, Icin. To receive such generosity from a member of Frieza's people is quite rare in of itself."

Cheelai puts down her cup. "Yeah. No kidding. It's a shame that there aren't more like you around." She rests her head on Broly's lap.

"That's what you think, but the problem is that most of us are simply too afraid to say anything against Lord Frieza, let alone stand up to him. My father found that out the hard way. That's why I couldn't fight Frieza on my own. He is very powerful, the strongest of his kind, and among the strongest in the whole universe. No one can stop him. Not even me."

Lemo then asks "What if I told you that it IS in fact possible to defeat him?"

Icin is unconvinced. "Tch. Yeah right."

"And...what if I told you that he's been beaten before?"

This statement catches Icin by surprise as his eyes widen. "What? You are joking."

Lemo sips some tea. "Apparently not. A lot has happened since Planet Vegeta was destroyed. A number of insurrections have taken place. Battles have been fought, and the once powerful Ginyu Force has been all but obliterated."

Icin is astonished at what Lemo is telling him. "The Ginyu Force?" Lemo nods. Icin stands up and says "Hold a moment. So what you're telling me is that there is a warrior out there who is even more powerful than Lord Frieza?"

Lemo nods. "Yes. In fact more than one. But more importantly, it is the two Saiyans who we met on Planet Earth."

Icin is intrigued. "Oh. Really?"

Lemo nods. "Mhm."

"I see." Icin sits back down. "So the two Saiyans revolted. That makes sense. I suppose the old legend came true as well then. The Legendary Super Saiyan, Lord Frieza's worst fear, has surfaced." He pauses for a moment and thinks. Then, he stands up again, and says "Wait here. I'll be back as soon as possible."

As Icin makes his way towards the entrance of the cave, Lemo asks him "What are you doing?"

"Getting us out of here. I'm gonna go out there and take out Frieza's men myself." Lemo and the others are stunned. "Once that is done, we're going to steal their spaceship and make our escape."

Cheelai is shocked. "What?!"

So is Lemo. "You can't be serious! If the Frieza Force detect your presence, they'll notify Lord Frieza himself!"

Icin puts one hand up and says "You have nothing to fear, Lemo. I've been suppressing my power level for years. That's how I've managed to stay hidden for so long. Gonna keep a low profile and knock them out silently. I'll also break their scouters so they can't report back."


As Icin heads out, he does exactly as he said he would do. He knocks Frieza's men out silently, and then he breaks their scouters before meeting up with the others and stealing the ship. Then, they all take off into orbit. Several hours later, Icin finds himself in the captain's seat with Lemo and Cheelai seated in the two terminals in front of him, and Broly is standing right next to him. Icin asks Cheelai "Is there anything on the scanners?"

Cheelai replies "No. I think we're good. For now at least."

"'For now' is not a guarantee." says Lemo. "If we intend to keep this vessel in the long-term, we'll need more people to help in maintaining it."

Icin nods. "I agree. While it's not as large as Lord Frieza's vessel, it's large enough that we'll need additional hands to keep it going."

Cheelai lets out a sigh. "Whatever. Are you sure you wanna keep this thing though? A crew is a lot to deal with. You know?"

"I'm aware. It's a necessary risk, Cheelai. It is going to take everything we have and more to bring down Lord Frieza." Icin stands up and he walks in between the two terminals. "The only thing we have right now is this space-ship, and this space-ship is both fast and powerful. Fast enough to travel long distances, and powerful enough to fend off enemy drone forces. We'll need both of these things to get where we're going."

Impressed with Icin's words, Lemo says "Well spoken." Cheelai nods in agreement. "So...what's the plan?"

"First things first. We need to find some crew members to help us out as we go along."

Lemo nods. "Hm. Sounds reasonable. What's happens afterwards?"

"We set a course for Earth. I intend to recruit the Saiyans there to our cause."

Cheelai is startled, but Lemo agrees with this choice. "A sensible next step. The Saiyans could be quite helpful. No doubt Frieza intends evil for them as well."

Icin makes his way towards Broly. "Agreed. In the meantime...perhaps me and your friend should spar for a bit." Lemo and Cheelai get nervous as Icin begins speaking to Broly. "It has been quite some time since I've had any serious combat training. A brief sparring session might do me some good. A Saiyan such as yourself should be a decent challenge for me."

Cheelai steps forward nervously and says "Uh...I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Oh? And why is that?"

"Well...It's just that...um...you see...Broly's power is unstable and uh...well...he-he tends to lose control over himself when he goes all out." She chuckles nervously.

After a short pause, Icin looks at Lemo who tells him "She's right. It's happened once before."

Icin crosses his arms. "I see." He shrugs his shoulders. "Oh well." Icin sits back down. "I suppose training will have to wait then." Lemo and Cheelai let out a sigh of relief. "Very well. Let's get going."

Cheelai nods and Lemo says "Good idea." He presses some buttons and the ship starts moving at full speed.
