As Eva went through the portal, her eyes grew wide in shock and disbelief. The Saiyan army was being demolished by the Cold Empire's soldiers. Vegeta powered up to Super Saiyan and glanced at the two Valkyries. "Leave none of them alive…." He growled, his eyes full of hatred and anger. "Understood. Let us show them who they are messing with." Eva said softly, her eyes turning orange, flames exuberating from her figure.
Vegeta smirked and pointed at the crowd. "I will take the center, drawing their attention. You both flank the left side before it overwhelms my army. "It will be done." Eva said as Vegeta blasted to the crowd. (E)May glory follow you in battle…. She then glanced at Raphael whose eyes were in shock at the chaos.
"Raphael, we just received orders." Eva said giving him an evil grin, her eyes flaming as her orange power grew larger. Raphael gave her a soft smile and his eyes became cold turning red and gold, his own white flame whirling around him. "Of course, my lady, lead the way." Eva then turned to flew towards the crowd.
"Let us even the odds then, they want to overwhelm us with numbers, we can do the same…" Her words were rising higher in volume with each word as she lifted her left hand. Raphael did the same as his cold emotionless eyes scanned the field. "Let the sky rain flames upon them…." Eva said softly. Raphael then glanced at her. "And let their blood flow among the rivers." He finished earning a smirk from her as they both slid their right fingers down their glowing tattoos.
Dozens of black flamed wolves and white flamed foxes filled the sky. They both jumped and leaped in joy wanting to taste the meat before them. "Shall we?" Raphael spoke giving Eva the same smile tilting his head. Eva's smirk deepened as she slashed her hand in the air and took off after the pack. Raphael's hand followed and he zoomed after her. Howls and fox cries filled the air as all the soldiers, both Saiyan and Cold Empire peered up and saw black and white flames towering before them.
The Saiyans cheered seeing Eva flying within the pack. The Cold Empire soldiers screamed. They have heard stories of the wolves…but these foxes….it seemed like a hundred of them! The foxes and wolves crashed into a large group of enemy soldiers and started tearing them to shreds, their screams were almost unbearable…..almost.
Eva crashed into a clearing and smiled cheerfully at a Saiyan captain who knelt before the future Queen. Raphael landed softly behind her eyeing the pack's activities while she spoke. "Rise, kind soldier please tell me where the King is at." She said softly giving him a stern look as he rose to meet her eyes with his own battle hardened ones. "My Lady, the King is in the center of the battle, right where Prince Vegeta flew towards." "I see…what is the condition of our troops?"
The captain looked back and saw that his men and women were barely alive. Some were missing limbs, others worse. "My Lady, we will follow the King to death if he ordered us to…this battle is meant for glory." He said full of confidence. Eva took a step towards him, fear flashed into the old captains eyes. She placed a hand on his soldier and looked up at him, her eyes softening.
"You and yours have fought well. With draw your soldiers as well as other severely injured Saiyans back to the kingdom. Raphael, my newly appointed Valkyrie body guard and myself will take care of this trash." The captain nodded his head in disappointment, thinking he was no longer of use in battle…Eva saw that some of the troops felt the same.
Eva took a step to the side and stretched out her arms towards the chest fallen Saiyans. Her eyes were filled with confidence, her voice was strong, she was filled with such vigor that all the eyes that were watching her grew wide. For she was a true leader, their future Queen, and now at this moment she had won their respect.
"Soldiers of the proud race of Vegeta. I come before you know not only as your future Queen but as your comrade in arms. I have fought many battles and there are few men and women that I have seen that were filled with the courage, honor, and loyalty that I see you all of you now." She rose before all of them to let all hear. The setting sun hitting her hair making it glimmer like fire, her wings glimmered silver, many gasped at the sight of their battlefield angel.
"I am honored to not only fight by your side, but to have lived by the same side. I do not send you back to recuperate because you are weak…because you are useless….I send you back to honor our fallen, to gather your strength that you have for the battle for which we will need every man and woman. It is because you are strong that not only I, but the rest of the crown and your families at home need you for this fight. Will you aide me?"
The last words from her mouth resonated through the hundreds of soldiers. The sounds of screams and battle from the pack finishing a third of the army was heard in the distance. One of the Saiyan women soldiers stood and gave a battle cry to Eva, followed by the rest. The Captain smiled proudly up at Eva as she peered down him with a smile.
"Captain, I desire that you lead your soldiers back to the kingdom, once done send me a report via scouter." She said sternly earning a nod from the captain as he pressed his right fist over his heart and bowed slightly saluting the Princess. "It shall be done my lady." He then turned around and started barking orders.
Eva glanced at Raphael who still had that smile on his face, and she waved for him to follow her. They both flew towards the center of the war, seeing blast after blast of giant gold and blue ki destroying hundreds of enemy troops. "He is going to tire himself out…." She said sighing and glanced back at Raphael. "Raphael, why doesn't your hair sparkle like mine in the setting sun?" She asked randomly, almost as if she forgot they were in a middle of war.
"Well my hair sparkles under moonlight, my lady. You shall see when the moon comes out it sparkles just the same." He said smiling sweetly at Eva. "You smile wayyyyy to much Raphael." Eva said looking forward shaking her head smirking. "Thank you my lady." He replied sweetly making Eva chuckle slightly.
"More importantly why isn't Kakarot here?" Eva asked softly pressing a button on the scouter she picked up from one of the dead Saiyan corpses. It immediately connected her Bulma's line. "Hello?" "Hey Bulma-" "OH MY GODDDDD EVA IS THAT YOUUUUUUU?! YOU'RE ALIVEEEEEE!" Bulma's voice screeched making Eva recoil her head away from the scouter in her hand.
"By the gods…." Raphael muttered shaking his head from the noise. "Bulma wait wait WAIT! We are in a middle of war here. We can catch up later. Where is Kakarot?!" Eva demanded sternly before Bulma started with her endless spats. There was a pause on the other line.
"He arrived there a couple minutes ago Eva! Cant you sense him?" Eva's eyes shot wide as she felt an extraordinary power come from the other end of the battlefield. This is why she couldnt feel Kakarot's energy at all….he was defeated….by Cooler who had the King by the neck floating above for all to see.
"No…VEGETA!" Eva cried out smashing the scouter off, and bursting towards the King, looking for her prince. Raphael flew after her keeping up with her speed. "No..no...NO! Where is he?! We have to stop him!" She said panicking skimming and sensing the energy of the Prince. (E)He is going to kill the King! Her mind roared as she gave a battle cry and started to throw black flames toward Cooler, her own red and black flame aura shot from her and followed the blasts crashing onto Cooler and the King.
Eva stopped midflight and smiled softly, panting. Vegeta bursted from battlefield to where Eva was. He had seen the entire thing, his eyes full of panic and shock…the same as Evas. Raphael floated next Eva softly. "You got him just in time…but….theres something wrong My Lady…" He said softly his own eyes growing wide. Eva and Vegeta looked at him, their smirks gone.
"What do you mean?!" Vegeta yelled. Eva eyes closed and gave a sob out, retracting her flames from the spot Cooler and the King where at. "There was a shield put by Cooler at the last second…I thought I broke through it…but…He is still there….alive…" Eva choked on the words as she opened her eyes. When the flames appeared all their eyes grew wide. Cooler was still holding an unconscious King by the neck with the deepest grin ever on his face.
"You know, there are few things in life I take pure pleasure in. Your faces while this was happening is one…the next is actually doing the act…Long live the Cold Empire." As Cooler spoke, his words send prickles down everyone's spine until he twisted his wrist…snapping the King's neck. Eva was in shock, her teeth were clenching and tears of frustration were in her eyes….she couldn't do anything to stop him.
It was then that she felt sudden increase of power beside her. "Vegeta…." She said softly looking at him with wide eyes. His own eyes were filled with malice as his entire body began to shake. His fists were clenched so tightly that blood was starting to drip from them. Gold Ki blasted around Vegeta as his power increased dramatically. It was then that Cooler let go of the King's neck letting his corpse fall. Raphael flew down and caught the King's body before it fell to the ground.
Seeing his father's death before him, brutally killed in front of his people, made him snap. He roared as his power reached the next stage. "FATHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" He roared with pain, anger and resentment that the ground started to shake. Rocks were starting to float from the ground and shatter to pieces. Blue electrical bolts surrounded his fuming gold aura. He had achieved it…Super Saiyan 2.
