CHAPTER 37
"It's nice to see you again, monkeys," Cooler smirked, as he crossed his metal arms. "As you can see, I never died. You just left me there to die, and one of my subordinates took me away from this weak planet."
"So, you became metal?" Kakarot blinked his green eyes. He knew that his innocent looks could no longer fool Cooler, but he could never break his old habits anyway.
"This is my new body. It's a hundred times stronger than my original body," Cooler laughed lightly. "It's thanks to Raditz who kept me in the loop. You're trying to copy Earth, yes? Even though it is one of the weakest planets? I mean, come on. Tournaments? Schools? Laws? Are you seriously joking?"
"Cooler, I'm giving you a warning once, so please listen carefully. Get the fuck off our planet," Vegeta said dangerously. "We don't need any Ice-jin to interrupt us by bringing your so-called ideals, like planet hunting."
"As I expected, you're weak as usual. That's why you never finished me off," Cooler said in amusement. "You will regret the day you decided to turn your backs on us!"
All of sudden, thousands of unfamiliar ki presences showed up out of nowhere. They were approaching this way faster and faster. That meant Cooler was not the only one. He brought his subordinates.
"Shit!" Vegeta cursed. "Kakarot, I'll take care of this Cooler! Lead the troops!"
"No," Kakarot shook his head, as he gave his mate a big grin. "Our people are strong enough to take on the aliens, right? They don't need me anymore… but you do."
"Well then…" Vegeta smirked, as his bright gold ki energy bursted surrounding his body. It was enough for the rest of Saiyans to take this as a signal to start attacking the aliens.
"Hm?" Cooler frowned when three young Saiyans joined Vegeta and Kakarot. "There are more Super Saiyans of you?"
"Yes. They are the next generation's leaders," Vegeta said in amusement. "So, when my time is up, I won't have any regret knowing that Saiyans will be completely fine."
"Father…" Trunks was starting to smile. Maybe being the next Saiyan King would not be so bad, after all.
"Pssst, Gohan… Did he say leaders? Did he mean me too?" Goten whispered to his older brother, who just laughed heartily in return.
"Oh well. It doesn't matter how many super monkeys there are, you will never be able to defeat me," Cooler placed his hand on one of his shiny metal hips. "You will still pay for what you had done to my brother and me!"
Five Super Saiyans went all at once. Because they could not sense Cooler's ki at all, they would not take any chance having an one-on-one fight at all. If Cooler was this confident, then he was probably stronger than they thought.
How right they were. Cooler blocked every single attack all of Super Saiyans threw at him. A single Super Saiyan could take down thousands of Saiyan warriors by himself… yet Cooler was able to fight well against five of them somehow. How was it even possible?
"Shit! Who is this guy?!" Gohan shouted after the fight stopped at once with the strongest Saiyans standing around the metal Ice-jin.
"What's the matter? Frustrated that you can't even hit me at all?" Chortling, Cooler crossed his arms, as his metal tail crashed a nearby big rock into pieces. "You, Super Saiyans, are the reason why my body was built this way. I can kill you all and then destroy this worthless planet. You should have allowed Frieza to rule Planet Vegeta in the first place so maybe you would have been at least spared."
"You fools!" Raditz laughed again. "Can't you see, Vegeta?! You shouldn't have killed Frieza and became the King youself! You should have stayed at Earth in the first place! Do you understand that you are not the strongest -"
Suddenly, a long purple beam thrust right through Raditz's chest. The Super Saiyans did not even see it coming until they realized that blood was pouring out of Raditz's chest.
"RADITZ!" Kakarot cried.
"Wh...why?" Raditz asked before he collapsed to the ground. He was completely shocked at the fact that he got shot by the Ice-jin. He followed Cooler's plan for the entire time. He even manipulated as many as Outsiders he could so that they could get their lives back. It was all for the sake of Saiyans.
"That guy wouldn't shut up," Cooler snapped, putting down his smoking finger. "I don't care about the monkeys. None of you deserve to live at all."
Vegeta was not sure how he was supposed to feel at this moment. He was angry at the fact that Cooler killed another Saiyan, but he was also relieved that their trouble was over. Raditz put a huge stain on his relationship with Kakarot for a long time, but if it wasn't for him, the relationship wouldn't be as strong as it was now.
"FATHER!" Trunks vanished from one place to Vegeta's side. He pushed him aside just in time Cooler's other fast energy ball crashed into one of his arms.
"Trunks!" Vegeta and Gohan shouted at the same time.
He… Cooler is fast! Goten thought to himself. How are we supposed to defeat him now -
Before he knew it, he was already lying on the ground with his aching jaw. He did not even see Cooler's physical attack at all.
"That was Instant Transmission!" Kakarot shouted when he finally realized about Cooler's technique, but he should thank Trunks for using it or else he would never recognize it.
Just as Cooler began to move getting ready to finish off Vegeta and Trunks, Kakarot used Instant Transmission as well. But even for Kakarot, Cooler was way too fast to be seen. Was it because of Cooler's new unusual body? Obviously, it was not lightweight at all because every step he made a loud clang sound.
After exchanging punches and kicks, Cooler finally sent Kakarot crashing into the ground with a strong elbow to the jaw, resulting into a new large craver. As soon as Kakarot had fallen, he not only was nearly knocked out but also unconsciously dropped out of the Super Saiyan mode.
Snickering loudly, Cooler raised one of his fingers up in the air, calmly and slowly creating a purple ki ball, which was growing larger every second.
No… No, no, no! Vegeta shook his head furiously. His son almost lost his arm. His mate could have been dead if Cooler had completely focused on him.
"What the hell am I supposed to do? I… I am the Saiyan King! I'm supposed to be the strongest! I have to protect my people!" Vegeta shouted at himself.
"Father…" Trunks said in fear, looking pass Vegeta at the dangerous opponent. "Cooler…"
Vegeta whipped his head toward Cooler, who still had the growing energy ball in the air. He was about to go after the Ice-jin, but Gohan and Goten already got there first.
"Fools!" Cooler grinned widely at the monkey brothers. "Attack me if you dare!"
The brothers did so, charging straight at the metal monster. They threw their fists at Cooler at the exact same time, so that Cooler would not have any time to dodge.
Vegeta was watching the whole thing that nobody else could see. Two of the Outsiders jumped right in front of Gohan and Goten, taking a direct hit from Cooler's two tiny ki balls. Gohan and Goten were not even aware of this until the Outsiders landed roughly on the ground.
"Eh?" Gohan was not able to say anything else more, distracted by the sudden fallen Outsiders, when Cooler grabbed his face. The metal Ice-jin flew fast toward the ground and slammed Gohan's head right there, creating another large carver.
"Gohan -" Goten got blasted by one of Cooler's usual fast ki attacks.
"Dammit… Damn it to hell!" Vegeta yelled out of frustration, not realizing that he was scaring Trunks. He was pounding his fists into the ground. "Only if I was stronger…!"
"Father…" Trunks said softly.
Suddenly, a couple of lightning bolts sparked around Vegeta, just like the ones around Goten before when he was in rage.
"Trunks…" Vegeta said calmly. "I'm going to defeat Cooler for once and all. I'm sorry you had to see this."
"Father?"
Vegeta got up and began walking toward the large round shadow. He looked up at Cooler and his large energy ball. if Cooler hit the planet with such large energy ball, then the planet would've been completely annihilated.
"Vegeta," Kakarot said. He, in Super Saiyan mode once again, appeared right next to Vegeta suddenly, but it did not even surprise him a little bit. "The bastard killed my brother."
"I know," Vegeta did not say any more. As if they either read each other's minds or were in sync somehow, they quickly took off into the air heading for Cooler.
"Ah, do you want another beating?" Cooler chuckled again, still unimpressed with the strength of Saiyan King. "Do you seriously want to die?"
"No, you are the one who is going to die!" Vegeta said, as the sky was turning darker and darker.
"Hn? What is this?" Cooler looked around. He was feeling something odd. It was as if… hundreds of powerful invisible ki presences were present.
"As long as the Saiyan Kings are with us, together we are one," Vegeta was powering up for bright blue energy ball at his palm. "Of course, you will never understand because you are not Saiyan."
"Puny!" Cooler almost snarled at him, as he was getting ready to toss his powerful supernova attack. "Don't get too cocky, you stupid blonde monkeys!"
Vegeta yelled a warrior's cry, shooting a powerful ki energy ball at the metal enemy. "BIG BANG ATTACK!"
"It doesn't matter. You will die anyway!" Cooler laughed. He threw his large attack at Vegeta's tiny ki energy ball. It was easily overpowering the Big Bang Attack.
The rest of nervous Saiyans, including the ones still in the kingdom, were watching the collision between the blonde-haired Saiyan King and the metal Ice-jin.
"Eh, what is this?" Cooler asked in confusion. For some reason, he was seeing more and more Saiyans appearing behind Vegeta out of nowhere. Each of their armor was completely different. It was as if they came back from the dead.
Somehow, the Big Bang Attack was starting to overpower the Supernova even without becoming bigger.
"WHAT?!" Cooler cried. "NO! IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta yelled again. He was not the only one who said it. Hundreds of voices also yelled the technique at once.
What Cooler was looking at was the former Saiyan Kings who resembled to Vegeta so much. He recognized only two of them, who was Vegeta's father and grandfather. "How?! How did you come back alive?!"
"Who is he talking to?" Goten asked in confusion.
"IMPOSSIBLE! I'm supposed to be the strongest!" Cooler screamed.
The rest of Super Saiyans were standing next to Vegeta for the entire time, feeding their ki into Vegeta's Big Bang Attack, which was slowly overpowering Cooler's attack.
"How should I know?" Vegeta smirked in amusement. "He must be imagining something intimidating. As long as it's working, just focus on defeating him!"
"After all, we are one, right?" Trunks asked, closing one of his green eyes due to the brightness of Big Bang Attack.
"Right," Vegeta nodded his head. "Now, then… FULL POWER!"
The Saiyans and Outsiders were just standing there in awe. They were witnessing the greatest attack they had ever seen. It was the power of five Super Saiyans along with the guidance of the former Saiyan Kings.
Cooler could not stop screaming either in pain or fear when he got caught up in the path of Big Bang Attack, which was flying right out of Planet Vegeta.
