Thank you for all the views and reviews so far in the story! I will make sure to have the next chapter up either tonight or tomorrow so do not fret! Enjoy the chapter and tell me what you think :D byez*****
As his roar echoed throughout the land, the air electrified around the prince as he floated above both armies, before Eva, Raphael and enemy that slain his father…Cooler. Vegeta's hands were clenched so tight that blood dripped from his gloves. The gold aura around him stabilized, blue electrical bolts wrapping around him sporadically.
His eyes were closed tight from the transformation and roaring in anger and pain. Eva was speechless to the power that Vegeta had released. She was not the only one, Cooler himself was wide eyed, and his mouth gawking at the sight. But then he started to smirk.
"You think such a measly power increase can stop me?" He whispered as he raised his hand towards his army. "Pathetic and foolish prince. ELITES! ATTACK!" Cooler roared slicing the air with his hand commanding the elites that escaped the now disappearing wolves and foxes to destroy the prince.
Several dozen elites filled the sky and were 100 meters away from Vegeta, roaring to their commander, as they flew towards the Prince. Vegeta's eyes opened…sending shivers down Cooler's spine with the amount of malice and hatred filled within them. Without moving his eyes from Cooler, Vegeta raised his arm to the side towards the oncoming elites.
His hand formed several small ki balls as he swung his arm softly, sending the ki balls to the many elites. The elites didn't even see the ki balls until it was too late. Once they had hit their targets, the sky filled with hundreds of explosions, flames of corpses and destruction glimmered upon Vegeta as he lowered his arm. His eyes did not move from Cooler even a little.
Cooler was starting to get nervous, sweat was starting to form upon his head as he gawked at his now dead elites. He then looked at Vegeta with an unamused look. "What are you? Do you really think you can win?!" Cooler roared as he lunged at Vegeta.
He started throwing punches and kicks at Vegeta, even charging ki blasts at him mid punches….but Vegeta dodged them all easily. Vegeta has the look of contempt at Coolers attempts to hit him. Seeing at how much of a challenge this Vegeta would be, Cooler growled in frustration and backed off from him.
"It seems you are quite stronger than I was led to believe…I will not underestimate you again. I shall show you my true power…." He said softly starting to power up. Purple aura grew around him as Cooler started to transform. Four horns grew from his head, creating a crown. ON his face a white cover almost completely covers his face except for the small red slits that were his eyes. His long purple tail grew a white spike and white shoulder bows grow upon him.
As he lifted his head towards Vegeta, his voice was deeper. "This is the end for you…you and your stupid race you foolish monkey…." Vegeta didn't say anything but started to move his arms slowly causing Cooler to flinch. Once he crossed his arms, Vegeta's electrified form stared at Cooler with the same malice filled look, beckoning for him to come.
Annoyed at the fear that was tingeling down his spine, Cooler launched another attack roaring. This time Vegeta started blocking his attacks…all to easy. Eva was gawking at the entire scene. (E)My god! is SSJ 2 really this powerful? I don't remember Broly being this powerful back on Earth….Vegeta…have you really become stronger than that monster….amazing…
"Its about to end soon Eva….that Prince has lost patience in the alien overlord…" Raphael stated floating next to Eva, holding the dead King in his arms. Eva glanced at him and then sadly at the dead King. She unclasped the red cape and wrapped the King in it. "We will have to give him a proper royal burial for the King and the hero that he was…." She said softly, glancing back at Vegeta earning a nod from Raphael.
The fear that was tingling down Cooler's spince started to show on his face as each of his attack was getting blocked. He backed off and charged a large ki ball at Vegeta. "Block this you stupid monkey!" He yelled throwing the ball at him. Vegeta outstretched his hand and caught the ball easily. He then flung at it at the remaining Cooler ships that were above the planets atmosphere, destroying not only the rest of Cooler's armada but his only way off the planet.
Cooler gawked at burning ships entering the atmosphere raining like balls of fire behind the prince who kept his arms uncrossed. The flamed emphasized the intent to kill that Vegeta held making Cooler practically tremble. The whole image was almost too much for him.
"My men…You…..you monster….how can you be this strong….the other Super Saiyan that I fought wasn't this strong!" He whispered, his voice trembling. Cooler then raised two of his fingers upon his head. Before he could instant transmission off the planet, Vegeta phased in front of him, knocked his hand down and grabbed Cooler's arms by the biceps.
Vegeta's eyes narrowed as he looked up at Cooler, whispering a low deep growl to him. "You dare to dream of escape? Here…..I shall take such a dream….." At that point Vegeta grip became tighter, Cooler's eyes went wide and Vegeta tore his arms off his body. "and make you realize the reality of action you have chosen….all actions have consequence…..for what you have done….you have earned…"
Cooler was in shock, he didn't even yell as the pain singed through out his body as his limbs fell to the ground, remnants of the still disappearing wolves and foxes caught them mid fall and ate them fully. Before Cooler could even scream, Vegeta raised his hand in front of Cooler's face charging a gold ki blast. "You have earned…..death…" Vegeta whispered finally as blasted Coolers head clean off his body. His corpse fell down and was caught by the one to two wolves and foxes…who ate it hungrily.
Vegeta floated above the feasting wolves and foxes and stared at his hands, realization of him actually being SSJ2 finally hit him. Eva flew toward and placed a hand on his shoulder making him glance up at her. "Vegeta…look…" She said smiling her outstretched before her. Vegeta looked up and saw all the remaining Saiyan warriors were looking up at him.
At the sight of the Prince looking at them they all fell a knee and placed their right fist above their heart. Waves upon waves of soldiers saluted their upcoming new King. Raphael floated next to Vegeta, the wrapped King in his arms. Vegeta didn't even look at Raphael as he carefully picked up his father's body in his arms.
"My father was a glorious King and died in battle for many. We all shall hold a funeral, not only for him but all of our fallen. His shall be the last funeral 3 days time. For now, return to your homes, the battle has been won….we have lost many but prepare to show the rest of the Cold Empire the true meaning of our strength!" He roared to all of his subjects before him, his voice carrying for all to hear.
At the sound of their new ruler's proclamation cheers filled the air as they all thrusted their hands in the air with acceptance and proud appearance. As the final wolves and foxes disappeared, the Saiyan warriors started to head back to the Kingdom, bodies in their arms for awaiting funerals.
As they left, Vegeta, Eva, and Raphael flew to the royal tomb, an empty glass case for preservation of bodies was there for preparations of royal funerals. Vegeta landed softly before it, returning to his base form and placed his father into it, the case closed slowly and a program automatically started to repair the King's body for funeral display. Vegeta placed both hands on top of the case and his head lowered.
Eva walked to his side softly leaving Raphael at the door to guard for intruders or remnants of Cooler's army that may still be about. Vegeta's eyes closed as his fists clenched and he slammed his fists down on the case in frustration. "Why must I lose those most important to gain such power…." He whispered angrily.
Eva placed a hand on his face making him look up at her, his eyes softly filled with pain, anger and sadness. So many emotions were filling him…he was almost about to snap and be lost in his own turmoil. It was if Eva's presence was his anchor that kept him to this world. Eva smiled at him softly and whispered to him. "Even though he is gone, his memory will live on through you. You will let all through out the galaxy know that you are not a force to be trifled with….and King Cold will be the prime example for all too see…."
What she had said caused determination and vigor to replace the swirling emotions within Vegeta's eyes. He stood straight and smirked at Eva. "There will be none left of the Cold Empire when I am King. This empire will rise further onto greatness. You and I shall bring it there taking lead." He said strongly placing a hand on Eva's chin raising it, and planting a soft kiss causing shock to fill Eva.
After a moment Vegeta released her from his kiss leaving her blushing slightly. "When will you ever get used to this princess?" He said with a smirk still on his face. Eva hmphed and looked away from him, planting a hand on her hip. "I distinctly remember that we have a funeral to plan do we not." She said firmly glancing at him as his smirk deepened in victory.
"Yes….and a magnificent funeral it shall be…..fitting of the King he was." He said sternly as he walked past Eva and headed to the palace. Just as he was about to exit he looked back at Eva. "Eva, I need to talk to council, they will certainly be in an uproar with all the events that have happened. May you-"
Eva waved her hand at him giving him an annoyed. "Don't you even dare ask, it was implied that I arrange the most 'magnificent' funeral this planet has ever seen. I shall bring the plans to you later tonight once discussions with those old coons are finished." She stated earning a grin from Vegeta. "Fitting for the future Queen." Was all he stated before leaving the room.
Raphael walked up to Eva, fingering his silver hair behind his ear. "You know mi lady, you have only 3 days to plan this…" Eva looked at him and smirked. "I love the challenge. Let this funeral event be large enough not only for the King but to all those that died this day so that everyone's hearts may be at peace afterwards." She said walking out of the royal tomb.
The half filled moon was almost at its peak in the sky when they both exited. Eva looked back and saw how Raphael's hair shimmered soft light blue and silver upon the moon's light hitting him. Raphael smiled at Eva as he stood next to her. "It has been a long time since I have felt the moons light upon me…its so much more refreshing than the world I was in….Thank you Princess Eva for letting me come with you…" He said softly turning to her.
Eva sighed and placed her hand on her hip and stared out into the battlefield beyond the Kingdom's walls. Any other woman would be swooning at the sight of the silver shimmering handsome man before her. Eva couldn't care less about how handsome he was but she was glad about one thing. "Thank you for proving to me that I am not the only one of my race that is special…." She said smiling at the horizon, her gaze not leaving the battlefield.
Raphael's eyes grew wide at the sight of her smile causing him to blush softly. Coughing he gave her another smile. "Well, my lady, shall I help you with the preparations?" Eva looked at him with a nod. "Yes, your help would be most influential. Let us get started with the design. Hopefully we can get a big chunk of the physical work done tomorrow…today has been a long day." She said softly starting to fly towards her home, Raphael following her.
"Your room will be connected to mine Raphael via one lower floor, just in case of emergencies. It is large like mine and decorated for royalty. So it should fit your needs quite well. Tomorrow I shall show you around but first, let us get a shower, something to eat and head to the library for the planning." She said earning a nod and glance from Raphael. It really was going to be a long day….
