*Ghost Warrior Program Activated. Raichi Folder Access. Estimated Time of Completion: 6 minutes and 43 seconds.*
Kageto and Bardock are now in the process of learning the Fusion Technique from Sync. Bardock has yet to play his trump card. Cooler, Chilled, Jack, Icex, Chili and his men were on their way to Earth. Revenge was fresh on Cooler's mind.
The Frozen Saga
Part 40: Cold, Hatred and Panic
"Let's go," Cooler ordered Hatchiyack. He obeyed and increased the speed of the Star. They were going one-third the speed of light. After the fireworks, Cooler and Chilled were a little more relaxed. They retreated to their bubblecraft and soon fell asleep.
*36 seconds left for completion*
Icex wandered around the Cold spaceship looking for something to do. Jack was following him like a puppy.
"Stop following me," Icex snarled.
"But sir, I have to always stand by for the next order, right?"
"No, just leave me alone. Go do whatever you want."
Jack sped off with the excitement of a little kid. He was tired and was happy he got permission to go to sleep. Icex didn't mind one bit and was pissed off about the fact that he ended working for Cooler. On top of that, he didn't find the fruit nor the seed on that planet. He could easily get rid of Chili and his gang but Cooler and Chilled were a bit tougher than that.
"If only there was a way I could take revenge on those two," he thought out loud.
"Revenge, you say?" an unfamiliar voice spoke out of nowhere, "I'm an expert at revenge."
"Who is that?" Icex asked taking a battle stance.
"Why I am none other than the great Dr. Raichi, of course," he introduced himself.
"What are yo... How did you get here?" Icex asked again.
"My best creation created this body for me. Marvelous contraption you have here. Though I'm not fond of you using my creation as a power source."
"Creation?! What the hell are you talking about?"
"Hatchiyack... is MY creation. I will not allow you to use him as a batttery. I will eradicate you."
"Use as a... Hatchiyack?" Icex repeated confusedly. Then it struck him. He could use this mysterious old man in front of him, "Oh yes, Hatchiyack! Oh I'm sorry. You've got the wrong guy. I'm not the one using him. The ones you are looking for are at the end of this hallway. Huge doors. You can't miss it. Eradicate as you please."
Icex walked past him and felt victorious. He had no idea what that old man was capable of but he didn't care. He would be happy with anything he could throw at Cooler or Chilled.
Being a Royal Spaceship, Icex knew that on multiple locations there was a wine bottle hidden. It was mandatory for every Royal Ship to have one. It has been ordered by the late King Cold that wine bottles should be stored all across the ship in reachable locations so that he could always get one when he pleased. Icex once saw a blueprint of the ship so he knew most of the hidden panels. He grabbed a bottle of wine and retreated to one of the many chambers and had a drink. He would wait 10 minutes or at least until the bottle was over to check upon the Cold duo.
Meanwhile on Earth...
Bulma was still inside the Secret Underground Facility. She didn't understand why Kageto suddenly disappeared.
"He'd better come back soon," she said slowly infuriating on the spot. She couldn't hold it anymore and decided to take matters into her own hands. She connected her Hunter where she saw Kageto connect his and both the Terminal's and the Hunter's screen lit up.
"Ok, let's hope I can figure out what to do," she said cracking her knuckles. She started off by touching the giant blue 'Access' button on her Hunter. Strange signs filled the screen. She was completely confused to say the least.
"What the hell is this? Is this a language? Can't this be translated or anything?" The Hunter recognized the command and suddenly the screen filled with options... in English. "Much better... But what should I do now? Maybe this one?"
She clicked on 'Live Feed' and the screen immediately filled itself with about a dozen small windows. They were all live video feed. The window in the middle showed a PTO spaceship in the middle of a grey field.
"What's this? Are these... camera feeds?" She clicked on a window after seeing some movement. She enlarged it and was staring right at Cooler. "F-Frieza!" Bulma uttered. Cooler couldn't hear her, of course but she was still frightened.
"FASHA, TORA!" Bulma screamed. The two Saiyans heard Bulma scream through the hole in the ground and they proceeded to jump through it.
"What's wrong, Bulma?" Fasha asked.
"I-it's F-F-Frieza!" she said pointing at the screen.
Fasha and Tora approached the terminal and their gaze locked on the screen.
"That's Cooler and Chilled!" Fasha said stating the obvious.
"Yeah, no shit," Tora added, "It seems that they can't hear us. Where did you get this, Bulma?"
"I was just puzzling around after Kageto left abruptly. I have no idea where he went. Apparently I'm inside Hatchiyack right now. He seems to have all of these cameras connected to him somehow. That's the only logical answer I could think of."
"Unfortunately for us," Fasha stated, "We never learnt how to use the Instant Transmission. Bardock seems to have disappeared as well and Kakarot is... well dead. So we're pretty much stranded here."
Just then Cooler spoke up: "I can't wait till we reach Earth, you know. Once I take my revenge, I'll record the destruction of the planet and rub it in Kageto's face. Even if he somehow found a way to escape the Realm of Supremes along with that other Saiyan, he won't be a match against you, me, our army of clones and the Ultimates training back home. Plus, now that I know the fusion technique, there's no one that can stop the great Cooled."
"Ok, I agree with everything," Chilled answered, "BUT! If we're going to fuse, we'll be called Chiller, NOT Cooled. Cooled sounds stupid. Chiller... That sounds way better."
"Hmph, fine, whatever you say, oh so great Supreme," Cooler growled.
At that moment the sliding doors to the bridge opened. An old looking man floating on an orange sphere... 'floated' in the room.
"Who the hell are yo..." Chili said before being blasted away by a shockwave erupting out of Raichi's right hand. Chili's crash on the control panel both deactivated the camera and got Cooler and Chilled's attention.
"What the hell was that?!" Bulma screamed out in horror.
"That old man looked familiar," Fasha said, "I bet Kageto knows him. *gasp* He said that Kageto was stuck in the Realm of Supremes with Bardock!"
"NO! How the hell did they manage to do that?" Tora said in equal shock, "They also said they were coming to Earth! I don't think I can take on so many clones."
"What are you talking about, guys?" Bulma asked, "You can't beat who? What's going on here?"
"Bulma..." Tora began, "I hate to break it to you but... I don't think we will stand a chance against them this time, especially now that they possess Hatchiyack. Those Ghost Warriors of him are unbeatable. They just regenerate and keep pounding on you."
"Then what are we going to do now? We're doomed! Goku is gone, you guys can't stand a chance against them... We still have Gohan, though."
"No, we don't," Fasha responded, "We're as poweful as he is, so if we don't stand a chance against them, neither does he."
"How about we go to the future and get my son Trunks? Will that help us?"
"Well, we DO need all the help we can get," Tora remarked, "But I believe you'll be leading your son to his own downfall. What will you think if they got this Trunks and threw him in a battlefield to die? Remember, there's another version of you there."
"I wouldn't like it one bit," she said a little bit pensive.
"Exactly," Fasha added, "We wouldn't want our beloved Trunks to die now, would we? Bardock would explode if he heard that. Besides, how the hell can they be trapped inside the Realm of Supremes?"
New Big Gete...
"What's going on here?" Cooler screamed in anger while turning around to face the one responsible. Chilled did the same.
"I'm here to take back what's rightfully mine," Raichi announced.
"You really thing you can enter OUR ship and defy US?" Chilled said bulking up in mid-transformation.
"You really think you can steal MY machine and use it as a freaking battery?" Raichi retorted.
"I don't care what you think we have stolen," Cooler replied coldly, "The universe and everything in it belongs to me. You think I'm going to apologize to you for stealing some random thing while I never had mercy to spare the billions of lives I took? Don't make me laugh. This ends now."
Cooler fired a purple laser out of his index finger but before it reached the pathetic looking old man, it halted in mid-air as if it was obstructed by some strange force.
"What kind of sorcery is this?!" Cooler exclaimed, "You think you can mock me?! Full Power Death Beam!"
Using his father's signature technique he hoped to reach his goal this time but again the beam of death was hindered by an unexplainable force.
"What ARE you?" Cooler asked bewildered.
"That's none of your concern right now," Raichi growled, "I'm going to make you pay for your sins. That'll teach you to mess with Hatchiyack!"
"Wait what? Hatchiyack?" Cooler asked before I change the scene back to Icex' chambers.
Icex' Chambers...
"Heh, it's been about ten minutes," Icex said amused, "Let's see how that old man is doing. I hope he suceeded to eradicate those annoying pricks."
Icex exited his room and was walking back to the bridge in a good mood. He had a glass of wine in one hand and the half-empty bottle in the other.
"Should I get another one for Jack so we can celebrate? I think he's too young to drink. He's probably not eighteen yet. Nah, screw the law. There's no law in Space. Let me check upon Cooler first."
As he was approaching the bridge, laughter could be heard all the way in the hall. Icex frowned and prepared to face whatever was going on behind the two sliding doors. As he approached the doors, they automatically slid open. Inside he could see an unconscious Chili lying on the control panel and two bubblecrafts facing forward. The old man was sitting on his orange sphere floating beside one of the black chairs.
"And then he came and thought he could convince me to give up Hatchiyack and join him instead," Raichi said which caused Cooler and Chilled to burst in another fit of laughter.
"Those Saiyans are pathetic," Cooler said, "Especially the soft one named Goku. Do you know how many times he tried to give me and my men a second chance before he went all-out? So many times that I lost count!"
Another volley of laughter filled the room. This time it was Raichi and Chilled doing the laughing. Cooler just chuckled at the thought of it.
"What's going on here?" Icex interrupted.
"Oh, if it isn't the weakling Icex," Chilled remarked with a grin, "We were just having fun with this guy. His name is Raichi and he created Hatchiyack. He hates Saiyans as much as we do. He's totally decided to join us and left dear old Hatchi at our disposal. He cracks me up."
"You're just letting them use it, Raichi?" Icex asked.
"Why not? If it means the extinction of the Saiyan Race, who am I to say no? Besides, this is the best function Hatchiyack could get. He can produce Ghost Warriors with the help of the Big Gete Energy Reserves and create Metal Clones of Cooler and Chilled. Combined with Kageto's version of the Operating System we designed alongwith the one Cooler stole and the Big Gete database, we can't fail. I've waited half a century for this moment and I'm not letting it pass because of my selfish ideals."
"Exactly," Cooler added, "We can't fail when two of the most brilliant minds are combined. Oh, you brought us wine? How thoughtful. Go get two more glasses."
That last sentence was more of an order than a request. Icex was slowly infuriating on the spot. His brilliant plan failed and now he had to hand over his wine to the one he hated the most. This hasn't gone by unnoticed in Hatchiyack's eyes. He was feeding upon Icex hatred which seemed to calm Icex down. He felt drained of all of his hatred and proceeded to do what he was told.
"On the bright side, I still have Jack to do my bidding. Wait, why am I thinking this?" Unknowingly emptied of hatred, he continued to think happy thoughts, which were highly unusual in the tyrant's brain.
*Hate... Cooler... Chilled...* Hatchiyack whispered.
Capsule Corporation Secret Underground Storage Facility (CCSUSF for short)...
"How the hell are we going to solve this problem?" Fasha asked, "Where can we go? We could all try to go to Planet Argon but what's the use?"
"Yeah, we don't even know exactly where that is. Can't we just say 'Creator, we need your help'?"
"Who what where?!" the Creator asked after appearing in front of them.
"CREATOR!" Fasha screamed out of joy, "Thank God you're here! We've been desperately trying to figure out what's been going on. We have absolutely no way of getting anywhere without Bardock or Kageto. We have no idea how to use the Instant Transmission."
"OMG! It's GOD!" Bulma shrieked in astonishment, "I-I-I can't believe he's really here!"
"Well, I COULD take you to the Realm of Supremes, though I'm not fond of that idea. As you know, I don't like people who don't belong."
"Do you even know what's going to happen, Creator?!" Fasha said desperately, "Cooler is coming to Earth and kill us all! On top of that, we don't know how to Instant Transmit."
"Well, I would like to help, but I can't. Bardock has a plan of which I'm not fully informed of. All I can suggest is to have faith in him and his decisions."
"You can't leave us here!" Tora added with a hint of fear, "We'll die for sure!"
"Please calm down," the Creator reassured, "Train as hard as you can. You'll be needing it. I'll see what for help I can provide." The Creator disappeared in front of them leaving them in a state of depression. They seemed to be more upset than before The Creator appeared. They had no idea what the Creator was planning.
"Destiny," The Creator said as approached the entity of Fate, "We need to talk."
"What about, Creator? By the way, where DID you just run off to?"
"It's about Tora, Fasha and the rest of Earth's inhabitants. We must have a backup plan in case things don't work out here. They're panicking down there."
"Well, I hoped we didn't have to revert to this option but it seems like I have no other choice. This is going to be Earth's Last Stand. We can't afford to lose now, can we? You summon YOUR Trump Card and I'll summon mine."
"Alright, we have an agreement. My trump card should be done about now. Let me check upon her."
The Creator opened a dimensional portal and peeked inside. "Are you ready? It's time," he said.
"Yes, I'm ready to go," a confident female voice replied. A shockwave exited the portal and disappeared.
"You think she had enough training?" Destiny asked, "One of those metal clones are extremely strong. They've been improved."
"Yes, I think she's ready. How about yours? Care to summon him?"
"Yeah, sure, I'll be right back," Destiny said as he opened a portal and vanished through it. He reappeared on a green field where a young man with a few characteristics that resembles Goten was meditating.
"Destiny!" the young man uttered at the sight of the entity, "Who do I have to thank for this unexpected visit?"
"Let..." Destiny said with a hint of sadness in his voice, "A long time ago you offered me your help if any unpleasant situation would arise. I hate to say this but... the time has come, my young warrior. You, the strongest in this universe, have to help me now in my own universe, so to speak."
"I have to help YOU?!" he said shocked, "What about that warrior you told me about? You said he was stronger than me. Can't HE protect your universe?"
"Unfortunately, the situation included him being trapped and unable to fight. I need you positioned on Earth and ever so vigilant."
"Well, we ARE kind of on Earth already," he joked.
"You know what I mean," Destiny chuckled, "So, are you coming?"
"Yeah, if anything goes wrong, you know what to do," Let said as he took ahold of Destiny's shoulder.
"Yes, I know what awaits me if this were to fail," Destiny replied. He summoned his book and scribbled something inside. He then teleported them back to the Realm of Supremes. The Creator was waiting for them.
"Oh look, if it isn't Destiny's little apprentice," The Creator teased.
"Aw shut up, he's not my apprentice," Destiny retorted.
"Well, at least I'M not seeking help from another universe!"
"Hmph, whatever, let's go, Let."
Destiny and Let vanished in front of the creator of life. They appeared on a green field similar to the one they were at before.
"This place looks exactly the same as mine," Let remarked, "These two universes are similar, I suppose."
"Um, I believe they are. The thing is, you aren't born here yet. So basically, not only are you from another universe, you're from another time as well."
"So, who do I have to fight to end this 'situation'?"
"Well... I'm not fully aware of the opponents but they include Cooler, Chilled and I presume hundreds of metal clones stronger than a Super Saiyan."
"WHAT?! You have GOT to be kidding me! Am I the only one available to fight these things?"
"No, you have Gohan, Vegeta and two Saiyans named Fasha and Tora to aid you."
"Uncle Gohan?! What about my father?" Let asked.
"He's yet to be born. Don't worry about it. Just know that if you fail and they destroy Earth, all of your loved ones will perish along with it. That'll give you the drive to keep on fighting. And also, you wouldn't want your sister to be an only child, do you?"
"N-no, of course I don't! What kind of a question is that?"
"I just wanted to make you feel as if this was your home. Don't hold back thinking your family is not in danger. This place is as real as your own home."
"Right, thank you, Destiny. I won't let you down. I guess I have to fight at my full power, huh? Where are they?"
"They haven't arrived yet. I dropped you off here so you can develop a better sense of direction here. This IS the past for you, after all. Once they arrive, you'll be able to sense them. Remember, the Fate of the world depends on fighters like you." Destiny disappeared leaving Let all alone on the green landscape.
"I can't believe he left me here!" he said to no one in particular.
Meanwhile on the other side of the planet...
"I have to lay low," a female figure said to herself while leaning against a tree, "I can't let Fasha see me or even sense me. I have no idea what's coming but I will fight till the bitter end... Even though that doesn't apply to me, I still have to protect the rest. With the training I received from the Creator, I should be more than a match for whatever is threatening to destroy the Earth. *grumble* Damn, I have to find something to eat."
The mysterious figure ascended and flew towards a nearby village to silence her stomach.
New Big Gete...
"Hatchiyack, where are we heading at the moment?" Chilled asked.
A map of the universe appeared on the big screen showing a route to a planet named Mars.
"Aren't we supposed to be heading to Earth?" Cooler asked.
**Next stop... Mars... Refill energy tanks... 26% energy left. Not enough for mass clone production. Nearby planets consist of gas... Not compatible with Big Gete requirements. Nearest solid planet is... Mars. Thereafter route to... Earth. Estimated time of arrival... 6 hours and 23 minutes.**
"And after that, how long will it take to get to Earth?" Cooler again informed.
**Estimated time of arrival after departing from Mars... 21 hours and 13 minutes...**
"You have GOT to be kidding me!" Cooler yelled, "21 hours?! Why 21 hours?"
**Mass clone production sequence activated during Mars to Earth course. Speed lowered by 66%.**
"Hmph, that makes sense..."
"Hatchiyack," Raichi ordered, "Hate levels report."
**Hate levels at 78%**
"Hate levels?!" Cooler and Chilled asked, "What's that?"
"Heh heh heh, didn't you know that Hatchiyack absorbs hate and creates Ghost Warriors?"
Cooler and Chilled had a puzzled look on their faces. They had no idea what the old man was talking about though Cooler did experience this earlier.
"Well, he does. He has an independent energy reserve for the hate absorbed. I believe I can enable the Ghost Warrior production at this moment. Just keep hating the Saiyans and everything will be alright."
Cooler and Chilled grinned at this idea. Their dream of raising an army exceeded their expectations. Not only will they soon have an army of endless clones, but they also have one of Ghost Warriors and another one of Ultimates training back home. Once those are done, Chilled will Instant Transmit them into battle as they fight for the possession of Earth.
Realm of Supremes
"Perfect syncronization! You need to have perfect syncronization!" Sync shouted at his pupils. Bardock and Kageto were suffering under Sync's training. "I'm not called Sync for nothing, you know. One slip of your fingers and the fusion could end up failing miserably. You'll either turn into a fat blob or a skinny stick-like figure."
"Can we get a break, coach?" Kageto asked, "Only five minutes, please?"
"No, until you get it right, you won't rest. Remember, it only lasts 30 minutes."
Both Saiyans groaned at the harsh workout they were getting. They weren't expecting this at all from this young man. Unknown to them, Sync received the same training from HIS coach and it was anything but pleasant. Therefore Sync had no idea how else to do it. On the other side of the Realm, Destiny and the Creator were forming a battle plan.
"I positioned my fighter on Earth," Destiny explained, "He's as ready as ever. How about you?"
"She can find her way about. I don't have to tell her what to do. She already knows what's coming. But... What is the plan exactly?"
"Well, considering we have NO idea what Bardock's plan is, we had to come up with our own. I have no idea how Kageto's going to planning to do this without getting banned. We have Tora, Fasha, Vegeta and Gohan on Earth, probably the only ones who can stand a chance against the metal clones. I know Let can handle it. I'm pretty sure yours can handle it as well. She seemed stronger than her 'master' when she flew by. Remember when we hired her?"
*Flashback*
The Creator has been watching the fight from the dimensional window. Destiny was standing right beside him.
"Do you think I should...?" he asked Destiny.
"Is there any?" he asked.
"No, there hasn't been one in like forever."
"Then you probably should."
"Maybe I will..."
*Flashback End*
"I'm so glad we made that decision," the Creator remarked, "Besides, there was no one filling that spot. I don't even remember why."
"Yeah," Destiny said deep in thought, "I'm still thinking about bringing in another fighter though I'm not sure if I want to do that... Let's just leave it at this for now."
Both Destiny and the Creator returned to the Saiyan Supreme's throne where an unknown figure was stannding in front of Sync. He had Bardock's blue pants on and Sync's extremely small orange jacket leaving the guy bare-chested. His hair was a weird mix between the two.
"My name is Kardok," the figure said with a calm dual voice.
End of Part 40
Kagetoworld:
Ahem, *clears throat* *inhales*, CLIFFHANGER! Yeah, I had to prepare to announce that. Now, I have something important to say. I've been hinting throughout the entire chapter of two new warriors labeled 'Let' and 'she'. 'She' is the mysterious one that will not be revealed soon. 'Let' is the main character of 'Justice Enforcers' by KaiserNight. His identity has already been revealed through hinting. Yes, he's Goten's son and he has a sister.
I've hinted too much about the female character already. Once you track down the flashback I released, you know who this character is. Now, I would like to dedicate the next paragraphs to my dear friend Kaiser who will be collaborating and cotrolling Let for the rest of the Frozen Saga, I suppose. It's a mini-collab so it won't be going on for long. I will not say why he's doing it because it will make me look bad. I did something I was not proud of and he's helping me to fix that. What a great friend, huh?
KaiserNight:
Aw, you flatter me buddy! Anyway, I really do look forward to be writing for Let in Kageto's story. I have no clue who this "she" is, but I promise to try my best to write Let and try my best to make Let seem like he fits into this story. I really am honored like Kageto is allowing me to write for one of my favorite OCs, my favorite being his sister. Anyway, I hope you like my writing…if you hate me; you hate Kageto since we write very similar...really though, I really hope you have a good time reading about Let, I know I will! Also, check out Justice Enforcer if you want to read a little about Let before he shows up in this story. I think I took up enough of your time, hope to see you all later!
