A hooded figure watched the Icejin Prince and Princess from below. It glared at Cooler with jealousy burning in its eyes. The figure held out its green hand and began to charge an attack until it felt someone grab its shoulders.
"Patience, Lord Blizaran," the voice whispered. Blizaran lowered his hand and turned to the meddler and glared.
"But she belongs to me," he growled angrily. There was a chuckle from the unknown figure. It looked up at the balcony as Cooler and December retreated into the room.
"They have so much love for each other. It would be such a shame to break them up?" it teased. Blizaran's temper flared and grabbed the unknown figure by the throat.
"I trusted you to get rid of that meddling Prince but you seem to have problems with doing that. I mean that was our deal. You get rid of Cooler and I take December back to Ice and force her father to hand over the throne," The evil Icejin smirked, "But not before he has watched his daughter suffer by my hands."
Although he loved December he wanted Snow to pay for what he did to him. If that meant Blizaran would have to hurt the Princess he would. The unknown figure chocked and Blizaran let it fall to the floor. Coughing, the figure stood up, wheezing, trying to take as much air in has its lungs would allow.
"It isn't easy with Prince Frieza following his brother's every move. He is suspicious. He could finish me off with that death beam of his in an instant."
Blizaran growled and raised his hand, "And I could do a lot worse you snivelling little creep. I saw the way you looked at December when she arrived! That made me very upset."
The figure fell to its knees begging Blizaran to spare its life. The Icejin lowered his hand and smirked. He reached into his cape and handed the figure a vile, who gave his master a confused look. Blizaran sighed and rubbed his temple. "*This guy is very infuriating*" he thought. He relaxed and turned away from the figure.
"Somehow get Cooler to come and see you about something. That will leave my December ny herself. Next get him to drink this, I don't want to know how but just do it. And leave the rest to me."
The figure nodded bowing. Sensing that Blizaran was already in a bad mood he quickly rose and turned to walk away, but not before Blizaran grabbed it by the arm. A dark look across his features, "Do not fail me again Kivian"
"Lord Frieza, Prince Vegeta is a nightmare! He put a dead space fish in Dodoria's bed and then tried to cut my hair. Then he got into Dodoria's cookie jar and now he is hyper. Please sir, hurry back! I am at my wits end," A light green, and rather handsome alien with green hair begged. In the background a pudgy pink alien was trying to get a little boy with a furry tail off his arm.
"Ahh Zarbon! Get this monkey off me," it yelled.
"I am not a monkey fat man. I am the Prince of Saiyans and I demand that you will give me more cookies mwhahahaha!" The little boy yelled manically and threw a cup at Zarbon.
"Why you little shit!" Zarbon yelled pouncing on the little Saiyan, who jumped out of the way.
Frieza could feel a headache coming on. Zarbon had been placed in charge why Frieza joined his brother. He had ordered that they kept a watchful eye on little Vegeta, and under no circumstances was he supposed to eat cookies. But that idiotic excuse for a henchman Dodoria had gave the prince said cookies and, as a result was now was very very hyperactive.
"Sometimes I wonder why I chose these mindless idiots," Frieza said to December, who was trying her best not to laugh. The room on the screen was in complete chaos. Guards were trying to catch little Vegeta, who was swinging from the light with a cookie in his mouth. Dodoria sat crying. Little Vegeta jumped onto Zarbon. "I…*thump*…want…*thump*…cookies…*thump*…green…*thump*…man" the little prince said, hitting Zarbon over the head after each word with an empty cookie jar
"Please sir help!"
Frieza thought for a second, shook his head and ended the transmission.
"Serves them right if you ask me," he said shrugging his shoulders and folding his arms. The white Icejin turned to December, who was in tears laughing. She had woken up to find Cooler gone. Thinking that he could have possibly gone to Frieza's ship she had took the decision to check. Nero had followed her and had made friends with the Ginyu force who immediately started to go all coo-chi-coo over the little wolf pup.
"You can be our mascot," Ginyu declared.
"Somehow I don't think Salza and the others will like the idea of that," December had warned. Nero however loved the attention.
"Sorry about that little show you just witnessed but in response to your earlier question: No, I don't know where Cooler is," Frieza smirked, "Why are you missing him?"
December blushed and lightly punched her future brother-in-law in the arm. Frieza's expression changed to one of confusion. He turned to December.
"He wouldn't tell me anything. He just said Kivian wanted to see him. I said I would go with him but he insisted that I didn't," Frieza said, "Something just isn't right with that old fool."
December shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe he is going to let your brother have the planet," she suggested, although she didn't like Kivian either. The guy was way too creepy.
Frieza sighed, "Maybe"
Suddenly Kitara burst through the door. Worry, shock and desperation ran through her face.
"…You're…highness…Lord…Cooler…we…saw…Kivian…very…bad!" Kitara stuttered. The poor Tarian was struggling to get her breath back.
"Woah, slow down, Kitara. Gather your breath. I'll read your mind to find out what the matter is," December said. She placed one hand upon Kitara's head…
She could see Kitara standing to attention and awaiting orders. She could see Kivan holding two glasses filled with wine.
"Ahh there you are," Kivian said in a happy tone
She saw Cooler enter the room; he looked kind of pissed off.
"Make this quick Kivian," He growled impatiently.
Kivan smiled.
"I wondered if you would join me in a celebratory drink my Lord," he said. He held one of the glasses out for the prince to take.
Cooler took the glass, giving Kivan a confused look, "May I ask what it is that we are celebrating?"
Kivian chuckled, "Why your ownership of the planet of course"
Cooler smirked, "So you finally gave in then?"
Kivian nodded, "My planet is now yours. Now let's drink to you rule my lord."
Kivian gulped back his wine. December saw Cooler look down at the red liquid.
"*Oh what the hell*" he thought drinking the wine and placing the glass down.
Instantly Cooler began to feel drowsy.
"Wow that's some strong stuff," he said.
Kivian began to laugh evilly, "Did you really think that I would allow you to just take my planet to use as your own? I would rather see it destroyed then in the possession of the Planet Trade Organisation." He smirked darkly.
December saw her mate raise his hand to fire the death flash attack but nothing happened. "What the hell is going on?" he murmured.
"My energy...It's...its fading" Cooler fell on all fours. December saw Kitara run over to his side. The captain turned to Kivian.
"What have you done" she glared Kivian turned to the young Tarian.
"That wine was laced with poison. And poor little Prince Cooler has drank it," he explained, "Soon his energy will be completely gone and so will his life, and I, King Kivian, will rule all!"
December let Kitara go and took off in the direction of the throne room. Frieza yelled after her before he too followed. The Ginyu Force looked at Kitara and each other.
"We have to find the armoured squadron," Ginyu commanded.
December couldn't see anything through her tears. She was going to kill Kivian for this. She knew he was up to something and promised herself that she would make his death a painful as she could. Cooler's ki was dipping at an alarmingly fast rate.
"Hold on Cooler. I'm coming!" She cried.
She burst through the throne room doors, taking them completely off their hinges. There in the middle of the room and barely alive laid Cooler. December ran to his side and tucked her legs under his head. "Cooler! It's ok! I'm here. Just stay with me."
A laugh echoed from the shadows, "You're too late December"
That voice! She knew that voice. Frieza skidded into the room and fired his death beam. It hit something.
"You missed me! But somehow I don't think Kivian will be getting back up," The voice laughed.
Frieza smirked, "I was aiming for him you fool and now the next one is coming at you."
He fired another death beam, only to have the figure knock it into a wall and consequently blowing a hole through it, letting light into the room. Frieza gasped and December shook her head.
"B…B…Blizaran but how?" Frieza stammered. Blizaran cracked his neck.
"Quite easy really. I followed the ship," Blizaran said as a matter of fact.
"He doesn't look so good," he smirked nodding to Cooler who was now unconscious. December placed her mate down. Rage was building inside of her. She raised her hand and gathered her energy. Blizaran tutted and shook his finger, "If you blast me now you will lose every hope of saving your precious Cooler my dear."
December lowered her hand and her ki. She glared at Blizaran.
"I have a proposal for you," he said smoothly. He held up a vile of clear liquid, "This here is the antidote to the poison Cooler has unfortunately taken. I am willing to let you have it. Unfortunately…there is a catch."
"And what is this catch?" Frieza asked glaring at the green and red Icejin. Blizaran chuckled evilly, "December comes back to Ice with me."
"What?" Salza, Neiz and Doore exclaimed. Kitara nodded
"Kivian has betrayed us. He poisoned Cooler," she cried, holding Nero in her arms. The squad looked to each other.
"Where is December?" Neiz asked.
Kitara looked up at the red alien sobbing, "She read my mind and then took off. She will be in the throne room."
"Lord Frieza went with her," Jeice added.
Salza turned in disbelief, "Why would he do that?"
"Hey, it's ok mate." Salza felt a hand upon his shoulder.
"Lord Cooler is tough," Jeice said trying his best to comfort him, but it didn't help. Cooler had saved Salza's life back on his home planet. That's why he had joined the squadron, to pay Cooler for saving him. He wasn't just a boss, Salza looked to Cooler as a mentor, friend and brother. If he, or Neiz and Doore for that matter ever fought anyone that was a little stronger than them, Cooler was the one that stepped in and backed them up. Now the members Cooler's armoured squadron felt as if they had let their leader and Prince down. Suddenly all the scouters beeped and the squadron along with the Ginyu ran towards the throne room.
"Not meaning to rush you Princess, but Cooler will be dead in the next few minutes if you don't come to a decision," Blizaran mocked. December looked to her mate. He needed her. His life was in her hands. Tears formed in her eyes as she walked over to Blizaran.
"December you can't be serious!" Frieza yelled. December turned back to her brother-in-law.
"I'm sorry but if I don't, Cooler will die Frieza," She said as she let her tears fall, "We both know this is the only way."
December turned to Blizaran with a defeated look upon her face. "You have what you want. Now hand over the antidote to Frieza," she ordered. Blizaran passed the vile to the white Icejin. Frieza glared angrily at the evil Icejin.
"This isn't over Blizaran" he growled as he took the vile and gave it to Cooler. When he turned back, December was gone.
Frieza met up with the force and the squadron outside of the palace and boarded the ship. Recoome and Doore came over and took Cooler from Frieza, who ordered them to place his big brother in one of the healing chambers.
"Where's December my Lord?" Ginyu asked. Frieza explained everything.
"She went with Blizaran to save him," Frieza said, "I couldn't do anything but do what she told me to do."
Ginyu placed a hand upon his Prince's shoulder, "Don't blame yourself. You couldn't help what was going to happen".
Frieza turned to Kitara. "If you're with us get on the ship. If not, you get blasted to pieces when I blow this planet up."
Kitara bowed before Frieza, "I will serve you and Lord Cooler. This is no longer my home."
She rose and handed Frieza something.
"He told me to give this to December," Kitara walked onto the ship. Frieza felt something paw at his tail. Nero looked up at the tyrant with big puppy dog eye.
"Guess you can come too," he rolled his eyes. The wolf pup barked happily and boarded the ship Frieza following closely behind. Once they were out of the atmosphere, Frieza used the supernova attack to destroy Planet Taria. The prince looked at the object in his hand. He shook his head. In his hand he held the engagement necklace that Cooler was going to give December. Frieza clenched his fist hard. Anger burned through him. "I swear by my Lordship of the universe, that bastard's torment is going to be legendary!"
