Jason9000: Hello, hello, hello, hello! Once again we have another chapter here. Sorry this took so long but with me in college updates will be slower. Now today we'll start down in our favorite place HELL! You'll see a bunch of the old villains from all over DBZ show itself and some movie guys. Well I won't keep your waiting any longer. Let's get started.*
It was a glorious day in Hell…meaning it was the same, boring day as always. Frieza, his brother Cooler, and his father King Cold were standing around debating on whether to bash their heads against the mountain of rocks in Hell…or just watch the Ginyu Force and the Armored Squad fight over who had the best poses. The former sounded more appealing. The Saiyans Raditz and Nappa had vanished a while back, but no one cared. Cell was probably seeking out Bojack for a fight since he discovered there was someone out there that could rival his so called "perfection". No one really knew if Bojack could beat Cell in a fight, but ever since word got out that he fought Gohan in his Super Saiyan Two form a while after the Cell Games, Dr. Gero's perfect Android pestered him every day for the past eighteen years for a fight. It was safe to assume that it was another boring day in Hell.
"So it's either we watch our minions fight amongst themselves for the billionth time or go bash our heads on the mountains…again," Cooler said sitting on a rock.
Frieza and King Cold were before him facing opposite directions.
"Ugh I don't want another headache this early. I prefer to watch Cell chase Bojack around for a fight," King Cold told his eldest son.
"I swear ever since Bojack said he fought against that monkey hybrid Cell has been going nuts, because he sees it as a challenge to his so called 'perfection'. How could that fool be perfect when he has the DNA of a third of everyone down here? He's a mockery to us all by his stupid creator stealing our DNA," Frieza spat out.
The Cold family was silent for a while not saying a word. Something however caught Cooler's eye. In the distance high in the sky he saw a spec getting closer and closer. This wasn't the first time he saw something high in the sky. Ever since he arrived in Hell all those years ago he saw something hovering up there in the yellow clouds once in a while. He never gave it much mind but as of late the spec had been seen more and more in the sky.
Coming out of his thoughts the spec finally began to take shape. It was a green looking thing that was flying towards the Cold family. The green thing grew in size till finally it landed.
The creature stood at average Human height. It was mostly covered in green scales. It looked a bit like a crossbreed between some sort of reptile and a small dragon. It had dragon like wings and pointy ears. The creature stood before the Cold family bowing.
"Good day to you King Cold, to you as well Prince Cooler and Lord Frieza," The creature said.
The Cold family looked a bit started that this strange creature knew their names yet none of them had ever.
"Well boys it looks like he has us at a disadvantage here. He knows our names yet I don't think any of us have ever seen him before," King Cold said turning towards the creature.
"Well let's humor him for a bit. I want to know how a complete stranger knows our names," Cooler said jokingly since they were used to random people knowing about them.
"My name is Tambourine. I am but a humble servant of the Demon King," The creature named Tambourine said.
"The Demon King huh? Wasn't he killed nearly eleven years ago by that bubble gum creature named Majin Buu and has been missing since?" Frieza asked him.
Tambourine only chuckled. "You must be referring to that traitor Dabura. No I do not serve someone that abandons his kingdom because his mind fell to some imp of a wizard's will. I serve someone far greater," He said in response to his question.
"I come before you with an invitation from his glorious majesty. He humbly asks that you and selected others meet with him today at noon. He wishes to discuss a plan to get us all out of here and back to where we belong in the mortal Universe," Tambourine told the Cold family.
The ex-galactic overlords were slightly interested in the proposition, but they weren't sure as to how it could work since they tried everything to escape. From flying, using all of their power to blast their way out, to even threatening the ogres down here. What could this Demon King have in mind that failed to come to the attention of the mighty rulers of the stars?
"Very well we'll accompany you. Perhaps this Demon King has an idea that none of us have come up with yet. Lead the way Tambourine," King Cold said speaking for the three of them.
Tambourine flew off with the Cold family leading them deeper into Hell smiling as he did what his lord said. Hopefully phase one could be completed without any problems.
Inside a forgotten palace deep within Hell a figure sat in the royal hall. It was lit by torches that held very dim light. One could only see the carpeted floor in the middle of the room that led to a throne where a figure sat in darkness. The figure was as still as a statue. Its eyes were not open. The figure seemed to be sleeping. He stirred a tiny bit when he felt someone's mind in the room.
"My Lord I have King Cold and his sons in tow! They accepted the invitation and are coming with me to see you in person," Tambourine's voice resounded throughout the chamber.
"Good. Now let's hope that Drum and Cymbal have an easier time convincing Dr. Gero, his beloved Androids, and the wizards Babadi and Bibidi to join us." The being told his subject before the connection between them was cut.
The being sat silent again thinking of his plan. It was perfect in every way. He spent years thinking and rethinking of how to make this plan to work. Sending out his spies to overhear conversations of the others in Hell and slowly learning what transpired on Earth since his death all those years ago. He had everything anticipated even if this whole thing failed at the end.
He however was greatly looking forward to meeting the group of people he called for. He was hoping that the ones named Dr. Gero and Cell would recognize him while the others would mistake him for someone very similar. Either way he was going to show them what he had to offer. If they didn't take his generous offer than it meant his plan would be set back for perhaps a year at the most. He didn't care in the end he would still come out on top of his enemies.
He was pulled out of his musings by a knock on the door. He looked towards it and someone entered.
"Sire they all have arrived and are waiting for you," The voice said at the end of the hall.
"They're here already? I must've lost track of time while I was thinking. Let them in Piano and we'll begin," The sitting figure said.
*Five minutes earlier*
The Cold family landed outside a decrepit looking castle that looked like it hadn't been used in centuries. All over the castle they saw creatures looking very similar to their guide flying in and out. Some were posted on the wall looking out into the distance while others just sat around talking.
Their guide let them in through the front gate where two massive guards were stationed that had their eyes on them from the moment they landed. They grinned hideously showing their fangs which of course did not scare the Cold family.
Tambourine led them further in and through a door into a massive hall. It was even gloomier on the inside than the outside. The torches that were lit only held offered some light but it was still very dark inside the castle.
Inside the hall they found some other people there. In the middle of the hall stood Dr. Gero and Cell who were conversing with each other about something with an a plump humanoid man that had a chalk white face with the insignia R and R in a bowtie fashion on his hat. In one corner of the room stood the wizard Babadi that Frieza had seen when both Goku and Vegeta were fighting Majin Buu, along with someone else of his species that looked very similar to him. In the opposite corner stood Bojack looking towards Cell in an annoyed fashion. Judging by his look Cell had either dragged him here or was chasing Bojack around before they were both brought here.
"Await here with the other honored guests and my King will speak with you once we have all of you assembled," Tambourine said before turning towards a massive door to the side.
The Cold family walked up towards Dr. Gero's gang. "Well, well, well why am I not surprised to see you here Cell? Is it because you're unrequited lover Bojack is here?" Frieza taunted him.
Cell's eyes widened at the audacity of Frieza even thinking of cracking a joke in front of him when they both knew Cell was far stronger. Out of the corner of his eye King Cold saw Bojack glaring at Frieza.
"Frieza unless you really want to test my patience I suggest that you stop with the taunts. Just because you're above MAYBE Babadi over there doesn't mean you can act like you're one of the toughest dogs in the pound." Cell responded to him.
Dr. Gero and Android 19 started chuckling while Bojack smiled at the comment. Cooler outright laughed at his little brother being made fun of in public. Not many people could do it and get away with it. To Cooler the only thing great about Hell was how more people acknowledged what a pompous ass Frieza was and weren't afraid of telling it to his face without the fear of dying.
Frieza started seething in anger but his father's voice stopped him from making a retort.
"Frieza silence yourself! We are guests in this Demon King's hall and it would be terrible for us as guests to start a fight."
Despite the fact that King Cold didn't think their host held much power, his years of grace and etiquette while attending formal functions still showed even after being dead for seventeen years.
"So who do you think this Demon King is Cell? I thought Dabura was missing since that whole Majin Buu scene eleven years ago?" Cooler asked him.
"I don't know. I'm guessing since Dabura finally died and didn't return to his kingdom the demon realm got tired of waiting for their king to return and a civil war erupted which would explain why it's quieter in this area than in years past," Cell said.
"Cell, Android 19, and I were discussing why our guides look familiar to us. The names are vaguely familiar but we just can't seem to remember where they come from," Dr. Gero said.
"How is that?" Cooler asked him.
"Our guides went by the names of Cymbal and Drum. Both names are registered in my databanks; however, no image or other data of where there are from has been found," Android 19 told him in his robotic voice.
For a moment they were silent till the main doors opened and a weird pterodactyl type creature let them in.
"The great Demon King will see you now," The creature said.
*Present time*
The group of people walked in with King Cold in the front and his sons in tow. The rest followed in the back looking around the throne room. It was very dim and you could barely see the carpet they were walking on.
"Good day most honored guests. I apologize for calling you on such short notice, but I wish to offer a proposition for you all," A deep voice said from the throne.
King Cold stopped and did a short bow playing along with this charade he saw from a mile away.
"It is quite alright. I believe I speak for us all when I say we weren't preoccupied with anything important," King Cold responded with the trained voice he used when dealing with others that were "royalty" by the local subject's standards.
"Ah, I see I am in the presence of one that knows how to deal with royalty. That's one of the exact reasons why I called you King Cold," The sitting figure said.
"It would appear that you and your subjects seem to know our names yet I do believe we have ever seen you before," King Cold told him.
The sitting figure stood up and even to Bojack and Cell they could tell he was very tall.
"Then let us rectify that. However, I'm warning you I look a lot like someone most of you know. Let's just say that I'm closely related to the person you think I'll be. But I can assure you. I am not him despite our appearance," The being said.
The lights flared to life and for a moment the others had to let their eyes adjust to the change of lighting. When they saw who it was most of them were angry at the sight of him while the three Androids didn't know whether to laugh at the figure or to beat him to a pulp for wasting their time.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the newly crowned Demon King of the Demon Realm. My name is Piccolo Daimaō commonly known as King Piccolo. Welcome to my kingdom," The tall Namek told his shocked guests.
*Jason9000: Well that should do it. Things are really going to heat up soon. I can't wait to start on the beginning of the next chapter where it will show the villains reactions to seeing King Piccolo. Well that's all for this chapter till next time!*
