The Mirror, The Demon and the Cherub
It was common knowledge among Frieza's soldiers that Zarbon was quite a vain guy, what many of them failed to realize however, is that Zarbon was much, much more than a general, an heir to Frieza's empire and much more than just some vain guy.
In fact the truth might be a little bit more on the sinister side, depending on who you ask, but here's the truth. Zarbon was a practicing sorcerer and soothsayer, for Frieza. Keep in mind that most people on Planet Frieza were atheists and magic and telepathy was looked down upon, especially since Frieza didn't have any supernatural powers like that.
Frieza even made it illegal for many to practice magic and it carried a huge penalty of being gassed to death or hanged even, depending on how horrible the crime was. However, Zarbon had immunity to that; he was in a position of power where he could be of use to Frieza in these dark arts he practiced. Zarbon's species were known sorcerers, they studied magic and Frieza knew this.
So what exactly did Frieza have Zarbon do the majority of the time using these grim arts? He had him spy on enemies using…a mirror! Not only did this make Zarbon look twice as vain to passerby soldiers, but it also put his sorcerer skills to use. What he would do is have the curtains drawn, or if it was night he would go to the throne room and have Frieza there with him. The room was dark either way.
First he would put on this special amulet so that he would not get possessed if a demon happened to be passing through or in case he opened the wrong door to the wrong world. He would get out a white candle, sometimes black depending on how important or strong this spying had to be and how far the enemy was.
Lastly he would get out this special old mirror and say some phrase in Latin, he would then command the mirror to show what the enemy was up to, and the mirror would show him. It would take him to various locations, it would show him what some of those generals of the enemies were debating and deliberating. Sometimes it would spy on the rulers of those planets.
More importantly, it was more powerful at night and when the three moons were showing in the sky above Planet Frieza, on the side of the planet where Frieza lived of course. After the scrying was done with, Zarbon would once again utter something in Latin and the mirror would return to show Zarbon his refection.
Zarbon would then take a long salt bath after that to get rid of any negativity that attached itself to him, even though he wore an amulet to protect himself from that negativity. You could never be too sure or safe in this day in age.
However this story is about that one time where Frieza thought it would be a good idea to spy on his cousin naked. It was months after that restraining order was put on Frieza, since Cooler was the one that ordered it. Frieza's lust for his cousin gotten so out of control that he we willing to risk his own skin just to see her naked!
One day Frieza pulled Shasha aside and talked with him about his plan, "Hey Shasha I need someone to be in the room with me when I scry."
"Vhat mean scry sir?" Shasha asked in his thick Cyrillic Russian dialect accent.
"It's some term that sorcerers use to spy on people using mirrors." Frieza said.
"Frieza, Я тебя люблю, but I do not believe in such things. I am atheist, remember?" Shasha said.
"That's not the point I have to spy on her Shasha! I haven't seen her in months!" Frieza said.
"Oh all right, I vill come vith you." Shasha said.
"Wait what is going on here?" Dodoria asked coming over to the two.
"Frieza is going to spy on Icey naked!" Shasha said.
"Oh come on, like nobody knows, it's not a secret that Frieza lusts over his cousin," Dodoria said.
"This time different, this time he vill use magic mirror to do it!" Shasha said, even though he still clearly didn't believe in such things, despite the fact that he was a Primal Changeling like Zarbon.
Dodoria was a little embarrassed to hear this, and he pulled his best friend Shasha aside to tell him like it was.
"I don't believe in that crap and you know it." Dodoria said.
"I don't either, but Frieza seem to." Shasha said.
"Shasha, Frieza only believes in that stuff, because that phony Zarbon convinced him enough and supposedly helped him win victories by supposedly spying on those generals and leaders. I don't believe the stories though, I think it's a bunch of bull crap." Dodoria said.
"I don't know, remember vhen ve pissed Zarbon off, and he used some amulet to command group of small animals to attack us? It put us in hospital Dodoria! Don't you remember?" Shasha asked.
"Oh yah, I forgotten about that, I try not to remember that time." Dodoria said.
"So vill you come vith us to use this mirror?" Shasha asked.
"Nope, I got better things to do; if you two want to play with mirrors you go right ahead." Dodoria said walking away.
Usually Dodoria was so loyal to Frieza and would have gone along with this, what was his deal? Just to give you an example about how ridiculous this loyalty was, there was that one time at a banquet where Dodoria said this to Frieza:
"Frieza, if I was a female Icejin Changeling woman, I would have your baby."
Keep in mind that Dodoria wasn't drunk at all when this happened.
Shasha then said, "I vould have your baby too if I vas female."
Cui and Appule tried their hardest to stifle a laugh, especially thinking about how thick Shasha's Russian Cyrillic accent was when he said that.
"Oh well Dodoria and Shasha, wow, I don't know what to say, except I guess I'm honored?" Frieza said with a smile that nearly hid how uncomfortable he actually was.
Cui and Appule still tried not to laugh; the whole situation was awkward and uncomfortable. Zarbon on the other hand found no humor in it and to him it was quite pathetic and embarrassing. He rolled his eyes and tried to think of something else. Talk about a couple of brainless suck ups! He didn't understand why these two morons thought so highly of Frieza, especially since Frieza could have killed them if he damn well wanted to.
Back to the present Shasha shook his head, "Fine you miss fun time then." Shasha said and then walked back over to Frieza.
"What's this I hear about you wanting to play with a mirror?" It was Zarbon! It was Zarbon! He overhead this conversation!
"None of your business Zarbon, although I do have a proposition to make with you." Frieza said.
"What?" Zarbon asked.
"I want you to scry Icey for me." Frieza said.
"Why? I get this displeasing feeling of where this is going." Zarbon said.
"Precisely, but it's not about you now is it?" Frieza said.
"Actually it is, because these scryings are complicated and take great patience and powerful magic to perform. It's one thing to spy on your enemies using this mirror, but to spy on your cousin, who has a restraining order against you, might be risking a world of hurt." Zarbon said.
"I don't care, I want to see her naked!" Frieza said.
"Yah Zarbon, she hot little voman, and I vant to see her naked too." Shasha said.
"I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit," Zarbon said.
The truth of the matter is that Shasha was disgusting, not just in temperament, but the guy only brushed his teeth three times a week! Instead of using toothpaste all the time, he replaced it with mouthwash, what was his excuse? That people were trying to poison him with mercury that was put into the toothpaste! He thought that small amounts of toothpaste on your teeth were enough.
Shasha was not just some brutal rapist to the opposite sex and had fun raping girls, but he was so stupid that he would go into battle without Sayain armor on, each time he got scars, he would like it! Instead of Sayain armor, he wore a Cossack-like uniform and a fur hat that had the symbol of the organization that Frieza owned located on the front of the hat.
Then instead of just throwing fireballs, he carried a sword which ranged from a katana to a scimitar. He was very old fashioned, what else could be said? When he was able to, he liked chopping people to bits and pieces, it got his adrenaline going. The idiot also did not bother to bath for days after a battle! He also only washed that damn Cossack-like uniform once a month!
The guy was mentally unstable and bat shit crazy, hopefully you reading this get the point. Probably why Frieza kept him around and Shasha was ignorant as fuck! I could go on forever of how much I hate this guy, but that would take an eternity.
Enough of this ranting about how disgusting and unstable Shasha was, Zarbon just could not understand the logic behind what Frieza was planning to do.
There were plenty of cameras around, why couldn't he sneak a camera into Icey's room? Oh wait, there were times where Icey would stay in her cottage in the woods and outside of the palace grounds. She wasn't always there and would have no need for a camera in her cottage.
"Frieza I am only going to ask you this one time, don't touch the mirror! Understand?" Zarbon asked.
"You dare to give me orders? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" Frieza asked.
"Sir, there are hidden forces in the universe that us aliens have no understanding of. I mean supernatural forces, just because we are aliens, doesn't mean that we are safe from them." Zarbon said.
That should have been a clear red flag to Frieza, but he didn't give a shit, all he wanted to do was admire Icey naked, he was simply willing to sacrifice any sense in this case.
"Oh please you think I believe in demons and ghosts, you got to be joking!" Frieza said.
"Fine do at your own risk, but you'll be sorry," Zarbon said walking away.
"Vhat traitor!" Shasha snorted.
So the two morons plotted on what night they had to do this? Sometimes King Cold slept on his throne, and sometimes he didn't. They wanted to do this on a night where King Cold was in his room sleeping, that would have been embarrassing enough, even though let's face it, Frieza isn't the only royal who was guilty of having an unhealthy obsession with his cousin, nor would he be the last.
There were a few attempts at this, first one? It happened on a night where the three moons were out in the sky, Zarbon told Frieza that that's when the moons were powerful enough to project magic. So Frieza and Shasha snuck into the throne room, lit a candle and Frieza held the mirror up and looked into it.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall. Nope, just playing, it's not on the wall!" Frieza said hoping Shasha would get the joke.
Shasha didn't, in fact he wasn't even paying attention to Frieza, and he kind of drifted off into his own mind. He was just there to support Frieza, not to believe in this crap.
"Shasha you idiot! What are you doing?" Frieza asked.
"I vas just thinking, I studied Earth number 2 Russian, and it so similar to Cyrillic Russian. Only difference is a lot of the names and spellings." Shasha said.
"You aren't a scholar Shasha, pay attention! Oh crap I forgot the magic spell." Frieza said.
"Vhich mean?" Shasha asked.
"We're going to have to do this on another night, God damn it!" Frieza said.
So they tried again the next night, but King Cold fell asleep in his throne chair, damn it! So they tried the night after that, Frieza managed to get an incantation from Zarbon! How you might ask, well Frieza figured that somehow Zarbon wouldn't just give it to him. Frieza got a key to Zarbon's room to unlock it when Zarbon wasn't around.
Blacky the familiar cat saw what Frieza was trying to do, and after years of witnessing Zarbon being abused by Frieza, he hated him. After all, Zarbon treated Blacky like a person, he cleaned his litter box, he feed him and even cleaned up his hairballs.
Blacky ran up to Frieza and bit him in the leg, and Frieza got so angry that he chased that cat around Zarbon's apartment, but could never catch him. Blacky managed to hide somewhere where Frieza couldn't find him. Frieza then went back to looking for some spell book where Zarbon written his incantations.
He found something, but then someone tapped him the shoulder, "What the fuck?" Frieza said turning around.
It was Zarbon, he did not look very pleased, "Frieza what are you doing in my quarters?" Zarbon asked.
"Nothing, I'm doing spring cleaning, this place is a pit!" Frieza said.
Of course it wasn't a pit to begin with, but after Frieza was chasing Blacky around, it kind of was. "Fine I'll give you the spell if you want." Zarbon said.
"Yes that's what I wanted," Frieza said.
"But what about the amulet, and the ritual you have to do after the scrying?" Zarbon asked.
"You mean the bathing in salt? That's a load of bullshit." Frieza said grabbing the incantation from Zarbon.
Frieza did not have any time to consider too many important aspects of this spying spell, the next night, the three moons were only crescents, which means this didn't guarantee full protect from the three moons.
Frieza held up the mirror while Shasha stood in the background, he read the Latin incantation and looked into the mirror. He looked and at times it seemed like he was seeing more than just his reflection. It then got to the point where he did in fact see Icey, but she wasn't naked, in fact she was in bed with her husband general Constantine.
"Oh God damn it!" Frieza yelled jumping up in down and throwing a huge temper tantrum.
"Vhat is problem?" Shasha asked.
"She's not naked, she's in bed asleep!" Frieza said.
"Vell it did not vork, let go to sleep." Shasha said yawning.
Then all the sudden the candle blew out from a strong wind, "Vhat vas that?" Shasha asked.
"I broke wind?" Frieza said trying to be funny in such a sinister looking situation. Shasha did not get the joke of course he only spoke English as second language for corn sake. Then Shasha got a chill on him, it wasn't a pleasant one either.
"Uh Frieza, it's little chilly in here." Shasha said.
"The palace has the tendency to get cold at night." Frieza said.
"I mean really cold, not usual cold." Shasha said.
All the sudden a strong gust of wind knocked Shasha down on his butt, "Ouch my ass! Vhat fuck!" Shasha said.
"Hum at least nothing happened too…" before Frieza could finish what he was saying, a gust of wind flew at him out of the mirror!
"Jesus it smells like rotten corpses!" Frieza said.
Frieza then looked into the mirror, and what did he see? He saw what appeared to be a demon. No not just any demon, this wasn't your stereotypical demon with horns or massive claws, no this one was more sinister. It looked like a rotting corpse with eyes all red without any pupils or whites. It opened its mouth and showed several rows of teeth, these weren't sharp teeth, no they looked rotted, even more so than some of Shasha's back teeth did.
Frieza could see the slim between the teeth as the mouth of the demon opened wide. Frieza then calmly put the mirror down.
"Well this sucks, it didn't work." Frieza said.
"Vhat happened?" Shasha asked.
Frieza then looked into the mirror again, and this time the demon once again appeared, instead of Frieza's reflection. Frieza had faced off against powerful enemies before, what made a supernatural creature like this demon anymore scary to him than say some alien that was seven feet tall? Frieza then broke the mirror and left it on the floor without bothering to clean it up.
"Let's talk about this in the morning ok?" Frieza asked.
So Frieza and Shasha went to sleep and the next morning Frieza got up, took a shower and looked into the mirror and of course instead of his reflection the demon was there. No more could Frieza see his petite figure in the mirror. He didn't think of it of course, his pride was too big to be scared by some rotting corpselike demon.
As the day went on Frieza could still see the demon staring back at him in his reflection. It still didn't bug Frieza, he figured that the demon would get bored and just go away. That was until one night. Frieza was bathing in charcoal, which he was told by Zarbon was good for his pours. So after the charcoal bath, Frieza got out of it.
He went to his mirror to see if the demon went away, but instead of his reflection and now the demon, he saw an Icejin Changeling woman in the mirror. She was stunning with long flowing purple hair, it was mostly the women Icejin Changeling women that had hair on their heads compared to the males. Her skin was as white as snow, and her legs were just so sexy.
He couldn't help but be so turned on by this; no matter how cold and horrible this tyrant was, he was still a male and thus had active hormones. He looked at her, and it appeared that she was undressing out of a silk robe. The robe was white just like her skin tone and it dropped completely and Frieza was just hard as a rock, and I mean hard.
Then she turned around slowly, but when this happened, she looked less and less like an Icejin Changeling female. She started changing shape; she started transforming into that rotting corpse-like demon in the mirror! The demon in the mirror was as a good distance from Frieza's eyes, and it smiled and then ran quickly closer to Frieza and opened its mouth wide making a bloodcurdling scream, and then pounded on the mirror.
Frieza was shocked and now he was just scared, he didn't want to admit to this, I mean come on why the hell would he admit to being afraid when he despised it when others showed fear themselves? This time though, it was different, more sinister, more horrifying than anything he had ever seen in his life. This was a guy that ordered people to be executed in various and sometimes grotesque ways we happen to be talking about.
"I should execute you!" Frieza yelled pounding on the mirror back.
The horror did not stop there, in fact it gotten worse. Frieza would have nightmares about Icey undressing in front of him, only to turn into that demon again. Sometimes she would levitate over to him, which wasn't scary to him since he levitated himself, but then her head would spin around like that one chick's head on the movie the Exorcist did.
While this happened, she would start speaking Latin? No not Latin. Aramaic? Hebrew? Farsi? Did it really matter what that thing spoke? It was some language Frieza couldn't comprehend, but that wasn't the scary part. No the scary part was when she started flying around him with her head spinning and her eyes turning completely red.
He would wake up all sweaty and there was even one time when he screamed. Frieza wouldn't go near his mirror for days, instead he would dry off and that was that.
One day, Zarbon asked this question to Frieza, "Frieza you requested that I spy on our enemies, where is the mirror that I use?"
"I broke it Zarbon," Frieza said.
"Why did you do that?" Zarbon asked.
"None of your business ok? It's old and ugly and I need for you to go out and get a new one." Frieza said.
"But the older the mirror is the more useful and powerful it is, I cannot just go and get a new one." Zarbon said.
"Fine time for plan B!" Frieza said.
What was plan B? Zarbon and Frieza literally had to go out into the middle of the night and go to a river so Zarbon could scry into it. Frieza thought that maybe the demon was tired of tormenting him and decided that the only way to do that was through a mirror, he did not know what would happen next.
Zarbon lighted the candle, put the amulet on and spoke the Latin phrase he used. While Zarbon was looking into the river spying on the enemies, Frieza saw what appeared to be that same demon. Frieza still couldn't see his reflection anymore; the demon did not stop with mirrors it appeared.
Zarbon couldn't see the demon of course, and the demon didn't appear to Zarbon whenever he looked into the mirror or reflection of the river.
"You just won't give up will you?" Frieza said.
Zarbon's concentration was broken; the image of the enemies went away. Zarbon looked at Frieza, "What's the matter? Did you see a crocodile or something?" Zarbon asked.
"Yes, as the matter of fact I did!" Frieza said.
"Funny, because this is a really shallow river and the crocodiles on this planet do much better in more deep rivers." Zarbon said.
"What are you saying?" Frieza asked.
"Perhaps something happened when you tried to spy on Icey scrying through a mirror." Zarbon said.
"No, nothing happened!" Frieza said.
"Oh come on now, I'm not stupid, what do you take me for an idiot? I may be vain and self-centered, but my head is not full of air." Zarbon said.
"Ok fine, I think I might have attracted some unwanted attention." Frieza said.
"Oh really?" Zarbon said.
"Yah, a beautiful woman let's just say, showed up in the mirror and undressed herself in front of me, and boy was she uglier than what I originally thought she would be!" Frieza said.
"Oh come on Frieza you can tell me anything, otherwise I will find a way to get it out of you." Zarbon said.
Zarbon was onto Frieza, this was the first time, well not the first time, but the first major time that Zarbon managed to back Frieza into a corner. However, Frieza knew that even if Zarbon hated him and feared him, he did not just want to give up. He knew he could somehow trust Zarbon with his life, he trusted him more than he trusted that mentally unstable Shasha or that brutal Dodoria.
"Fine I give up, you caught me. I summoned what I guess to be a demon of some kind up. I didn't mean to, it just happened. At first it did not bother me, but each time I look at my reflection anywhere the demon appears instead of my reflection. What am I to do?" Frieza asked.
"Did I not tell you to take the necessary precautions? Had you worn that amulet and taken a salt bath after the ritual you would have been all right." Zarbon said.
"I didn't have time to take the salt bath after the ritual! I thought that if I broke the mirror it would leave me alone!" Frieza said.
"Frieza, breaking a mirror isn't going to make a demon go away, what you probably conjured up was a lust demon of some kind. You pretty much screwed your soul up further since you had a major desire to see your cousin naked! Stuff like that attracts unwanted attention from demons and evil spirits. You have to be careful; this is powerful stuff you messed around with." Zarbon said.
"You mean like a succubus or incubus?" Frieza asked.
Zarbon sighed, "Not all lust demons are succubus and incubus; in fact I have attracted unwanted attention many times from demons and entities. You see the more attractive you are the more unwanted attention you get, and not just from physical beings like us. However, I have the protection from the stars and that is enough to keep these things away from me. And…"
"This isn't about how attractive you are! This thing clearly doesn't want sex with me; it wants to drive me crazy to the point of suicide. I want this stupid demon gone!" Frieza said.
"First of all you might have to do some things that you don't want to do." Zarbon said.
"Like what?" Frieza asked.
So it was that Frieza had to take all sorts of salt baths, sleep with rose petals in his bed and even say an incantation in Latin to keep his soul safe. Hell the guy even slept with an amulet under his pillow. He wasn't feeling it. He thought the whole thing was stupid as fuck. So as soon as tried this stuff for one week, and while it worked, he got sick of it, and guess what?
The demon came back! Tormented him some more and to the point where he went running to Zarbon for more help.
"I will not sleep with rose petals in my bed any longer Zarbon! Only a sissy does that!" Frieza said.
"Sir I'm more connected to the elements of plants and herbs, it's not an act of female stuff, it's just that simple things like these can attract more positive entities and attention." Zarbon said.
"I don't want to attract positive energy or any entities! Don't you get it, I just want things to go back to the way they were. How about we do something that I want to do for once?" Frieza said.
"Meaning?" Zarbon asked.
"I say we sacrifice an animal of some kind to appease this thing!" Frieza said.
"Are you insane? That might work for a little while, but it will come back stronger and demand more sacrifices! No, no, you must never sacrifice another life using magic; it brings more negativity into your life." Zarbon said
"I don't have time for your hippy ways Zarbon. Come up with another solution or else I will have to fire you as my personal soothsayer." Frieza said.
"But if you fire me from being a soothsayer, who is going to scry into the mirror or river to spy on your enemies?" Zarbon asked.
"Oh Christ oh mighty! Ok why is it important to take salt baths?" Frieza asked.
"Salt cleanses your aura and your skin, radiates positivity. It scares away negative entities and it helps the soul feel better and cleaner." Zarbon said.
"And what are the rose petals for?" Frieza asked impatiently.
"Rose petals bring in positive energy, but legend has it that if you sleep with roses in your bed that it will make you twice as good looking." Zarbon said.
Oh please tell me that this wasn't a reference to that stupid fairy tale that Frieza used to read to Zarbon when he was little. You know about the princess who was cursed in an eternal slumber and surrounded by a bunch of roses to the point where she was nicknamed Briar Rose. Frieza was so annoyed by the fact that Zarbon liked to read fairy tales and tales of chivalry, it just made Zarbon look bad in Frieza's eyes. But then again Zarbon was in his own little world anyways, so what major difference did it make?
"I'll stick to the rose petals thank you very much." Frieza said.
So he did this for weeks and gave up on them again, and the demon came back! He ran back to Zarbon for help, "What happened this time?" Zarbon asked.
"I need something new, something that will keep the demon away permanently!" Frieza said.
"Fine here is my last resort," Zarbon said handing him a rose.
"A rose? Why are you giving me a rose for?" Frieza asked.
"There are a bunch of creatures in the universe called Cherubs; they are a part of the higher power's army of spiritual beings. They fight evil and they knock demons back to the demon dimension where once they came." Zarbon said.
What that higher power was, we don't know for sure, we just know that Zarbon believed in a higher power of some kind. Zarbon tended to keep most of his spiritual tendencies secret. Whether he was a monotheistic or a polytheistic, that was another mystery.
"Oh I know what a Cherub is; it's those babies with wings that we have status of for the Feast of Saint Bartlett." Frieza said.
Zarbon rolled his eyes, "Yes something like that." He said.
So with that, Frieza got a bunch of roses out of the garden and put them all in his bed. The problem with this is that the roses still had their thrones on them. "Oh my God! How does Zarbon just sleep with roses in his bed without getting pricked?" Frieza said angrily.
A mighty entity appeared before Frieza; Frieza put the covers over his head and timidly peaked out. "Don't be afraid, I have come to send that demon back to the demon dimension from once it came." The thing said.
Frieza stared at this thing, what the fuck was this thing supposed to be? He had never seen something like this before in his life. Not even other alien species looked this bizarre. This was one of those things that existed, but probably shouldn't have existed, you know what I mean? To describe what this thing is, we are going to have to start with the simplest of the description before we get to the harder parts.
First of all it was big, easy enough. Now for the hard part, it had four wings, hooves of a horse and a body of a bull. It had eyes on it, especially on the wings. It had four heads one of an eagle, one of a bull or was it an ox, one of a lion, and one of a human. It also had two arms, humanoid arms, but they were furry. It carried a sword in one hand.
"What the hell are you supposed to be?" Frieza asked.
"I'm a cherub, we guard the creatures of the universe from harm, and we can be conjured up by a person, who is harmed by a demon, by the person sleeping in a bed of roses." It said.
"No you cannot be a cherub, cherubs are not this bizarre looking ok? You must be something else." Frieza said.
"I'm a cherub, deal with it!" it snapped. Damn it was just as thorny as those roses.
"Now where can I find this demon to vanquish?" the cherub asked.
"Oh he's in the mirror, and each time I look in it, I can see him instead of my reflection." Frieza said.
"Hold the mirror up to your face so I can see the proof." The cherub said.
Frieza got a mirror out and looked into it, and surely enough the demon was still there, the cherub galloped onto his bed and took the sword and slashed it into the mirror. The mirror fell and broke into a thousand pieces. Frieza was a little startled, he didn't expect the cherub to be so anxious to destroy this thing without telling him he was going to jump onto the bed right away.
"I guess thank you for saving me from that demon?" Frieza said.
"Go in peace little creature, by the way, do you know where Zarbon's bedroom is?" it asked.
"Don't count on it, trust me I have tried myself to make advances on him, and believe me he keeps his body well-guarded. He's not allowed to have sex out of his own free will, if that were the case I would have him castrated and possibly have to find a new heir to the empire." Frieza said.
Frieza knew that Zarbon possessed unearthly beauty to the point where he attracted many admirers, only to quickly lose them because he was so reserved and then there was something else. Frieza had always threatened to castrate Zarbon, if Zarbon went out and womanized. Luckily for Zarbon he kept his dick in his pants, he was truly that afraid of Frieza. At least Frieza knew how to make Zarbon deathly afraid of him.
However, to see this disturbing creature get turned on by a beauty like Zarbon, made Frieza sick in the stomach, what would have happened? Oh no, not that, too disturbing! It would have been one thing for an angel to find Zarbon attractive, but for a cherub, ew. So he dismissed any thoughts and disgusting fantasies that would have pertained to this unrequited attraction.
The cherub gave Frieza a look that suggested that Frieza had said way too much nonsense. For all Frieza knew, maybe the cherub was an old friend of Zarbon's, maybe he protected Zarbon at one time? Frieza's head was so in the gutter that the cherub could do nothing but stay awkwardly silent.
"Uh can I ask you something?" Frieza asked.
"What?" asked the cherub.
"Are you male or female?" Frieza asked.
"Neither, I'm genderless, good day!" the cherub said. With that it flew away into a bright light and never came back.
Frieza woke up the next morning. Was it all a dream? Or did he bump his head? He went into his bathroom to look into the mirror, and as it turned out, he could see him again!
"It's me! It's me!" Frieza said.
So what does Frieza do next? He blabs to everyone about his supernatural adventure and told everyone what a cherub actually looked like, well he tried to tell them what a cherub looked like. Shasha and Dodoria shook their heads in disappointment. How Frieza could be this gullible was beyond their understanding? There was one thing that everyone knew for sure; Frieza had the biggest mouth of anyone in this palace.
While Frieza was telling everyone else what had happened, Zarbon, Cui and Appule just stood there watching this happen. The three were great friends and Zarbon had known Appule and Cui since he was a child, they kind of brought him up while babysitting him, so he was used to being around them.
The three got along great and always hanged out with one another, even though all three of them couldn't be any different than one another. Cui was the least soft and more mischievous of the three, Zarbon was the vainest and most complexed of the three, but possibly the more observant and cautious of the three. Then there was Appule, the gentlest of the three, but yes even he had his bad days.
It was also perfectly understandable that these three hated the brutal and arrogant Sayains, they gave off the energy that they were the best species in the universe. The Sayains hardly talked to the non-Sayains and did nothing to be diplomatic; Nappa was so stupid and almost as vain as Zarbon. Vegeta was so arrogant, very rude and so full of himself, that it even rubbed Zarbon the wrong way. Raddiz, well there wasn't much to say about him, he was just kind of there.
Then there was the mentally unstable Shasha and his equally stupid and brutal best friend Dodoria. The three friends were just too intelligent to get along well with those persons of interests, especially since Dodoria and Shasha thrived mostly on violence and not intelligence to take a planet over. You couldn't have an intelligent conversation with either of them that was for sure.
Come to think of it, most of Frieza's soldiers were stupid anyway; they also sometimes joined out of their free will, just because they were attracted to violence and the spoils of war. Many of them did in fact fear Frieza, when they found out too late how crazy and psychotic this guy actually was. Others loved him so much that they did not fear him, even if he threatened them and had them whipped.
It surprised none of these three that the rest of the soldiers thought Frieza to be a crackhead. All three of them hated Frieza with a passion; they couldn't have felt less sorry for him. They only were loyal to him because they were afraid for their own lives. It was basically a harsh, cruel, kill or be killed world, if that makes sense to the reader.
Cui shook his head, "Frieza just better stay the hell away from science and math that's all I'm saying."
"What is that supposed to mean? How is Frieza going to use math to harm anyone?" Appule asked.
"It's not the math part I am worried about; it's that he might get through his head to start experimenting with chemicals, which can blow this palace up." Cui said.
"But Frieza hates math and science and he is quick to dismiss actual scientists who find things out that he cannot even begin to find out." Zarbon said.
"If he cannot handle the supernatural, then there is no way in hell he can handle math and science." Cui said.
Needless to say, Frieza was never the same after that incident. There would be times where he would go days without looking into the mirror, in fear that the demon had come back. Then there would be days where he would get cocky at dinners and talk about how he bravely conjured at cherub up to defeat the demon in the mirror. The incident messed him up even more psychologically.
Another thing that confused the shit out of Frieza's soldiers, and even family members is whether or not Frieza actually believed he accidently conjured a demon up. You see Frieza was a self-professed atheist, and yet he used Zarbon to scry a mirror to spy on the enemy! But then again, Frieza was such a stereotypical Gemini that it's like he was fighting an inner conflict all his own between two, or sometimes three different personalities.
Was he a hardcore atheist he claimed to be for many years, or had he believed that there was something supernatural out there? The truth will probably never be known.
