And the Fools Rush In
In a med lab groom lake the Princess is being give a final check over a needle enters the place where her spine and neck meet. She barely reacts to the injection with her face only twitching slightly.
Looking on is a frustrated Colonel Stryker observing the prisoner Princess for signs of her about to attack despite the chains on her. The med staff clears out leaving the two alone. She stares at him like a King Cobra stares at Mongoose a mortal enemy planning on ways to kill the other.
Colonel Stryker "Here is the deal. We just planned an explosive device in your head. That we can remote detonate at any time. We are about to go on a top secret mission to save the planet and you're going to help me save the world."
Princess Escarole "So you plan to kill me if I refuse."
Colonel Stryker "Exactly. The device also has a dead man's trigger, you kill me you set it off. You work for UNIT now got it."
Princess Escarole "Very well. What the job?"
Colonel Stryker "Over fifty years ago two UNIT scientists under the bioweapons division went AWOL. They weren't the most trust worthy lot kind of like Gero and we had them under very close watch. All of the guards disappeared. We searched high and low but nothing until a few days ago. A town of about thousand people was suddenly turn into a desert despite it being a mountain side village. The energy patterns matched a bioweapon design of a Dr. Kochin one of the scientists that was missing. In addition Martial Artists the world over have gone missing as well as many top scientists. Its apart of my job not to believe in coincidences. Dr. Johnathan Wheelo and Dr. Anderson Kochin are back and they are a threat to the entire planet. They might be Centenarians by now but they are somehow still kicking and we have to deal with them. We have a trap set but we need some muscle mainly you."
Stryker with a key a goes over and unlocks her chains freeing her from the ki blocking cuffs. She stretches out her arms looks at Stryker.
Princess Escarole, in a smile "Let me ask you how did you know I wouldn't just blow up the planet the moment I was free just to spite you and prevent anyone from knowing about my dishonor?"
Colonel Stryker "Truth is I wasn't a hundred percent sure until you just asked that question."
Princess Escarole "So you take more risks than I thought."
Colonel Stryker "You have no idea. Now we have some body armor for you."
Out of a changing room soon after is black armored Princess. She looks at the Colonel questioningly.
Colonel Stryker "A scientist got a sample of your people's armor and recreated it. So we started making it. Unlike your armor though we go full body as you can tell."
Princess Escarole "Why doesn't it have shoulder wings?" Colonel Stryker "Because their useless." Princess Escarole "Fair enough."
They exit both wearing the black and head to a hangar where a team of Special Forces is waiting in similar uniforms. They all pile into a waiting jet-copter. The colonel puts on a helmet and sits down on a forwarded seat closest to the pilots. The Princess sits next to him and the rest of the crew stares at her thought their masks and visors. She looks around and licks her lips and smiles.
Princess Escarole "I'm hungry." The doors to the jet-copter closes and it takes off out of the open hangar. The destination on the monitor of the jet-copter reads Capsule Corp.
The jet-copter carrying the Colonel, the Princess and the Special Forces team arrives at the Capsule Corp compound land rather close to Panti's flower garden. The ramp opens up and the soldiers spill out and start taking positions around the compound. Both Dr. Briefs and Panti are outside waiting for the group with their usual empty grins on their faces with Dr. Brief talking on the phone.
As the engine powers down both the Colonel and the Princess emerges. Princess Escarole "You got to be kidding me every transport on this planet moves this slow. I could walk fast than that thing." Colonel Stryker "Well not everyone as the power to destroy planets Princess."
The two walk over to the Briefs hearing Dr. Brief say. Dr. Brief "Honey sorry about this but I'm going to need to hang up I need to chat with the government and the evil alien that killed your boyfriend and the one that your BFF fought they apparently helped and recruited by the looks of it." Bulma screaming into the phone "WHAT?!" Dr. Briefs "Yeah bye." He hangs up.
Dr. Briefs "You're the man I spoke to on the phone?" Colonel Stryker "Yeah." Princess Escarole "Yes and I'm the evil alien." Panti "Terrific would either of you like some food?" Princess Escarole, simles "I'm home."
The Princess drags Panti into the house like lightening. She heads to the kitchen like she already knew the lay out driven by her sense of smell alone. She began eating very thing in the kitchen empting the pantry. By the time the Dr. Briefs and the Colonel came in the Briefs had lost most of their food to the Princess.
All three of the humans were left in shock by the bottomless pit that was the Princess. Panti however seemed happy at this development. Panti thinking if you could call it that "Finally someone who wants to eat as much as I want to cook." The Princess seems to slow down enough allowing the Colonel to have a say.
Colonel Stryker "Okay despite that disturbing display of gluttony we came here doctor because we believe there will be an attempt to kidnap you sometime soon."
Dr. Briefs "As I told you over the phone sonny. I really don't think you need all of this. After all why would anyone wanted to kidnap me?"
Colonel Stryker "Aw you're the wealthiest person on the planet you're a celebrity in both the scientific community and a household name." Dr. Briefs "Well I guess so."
Colonel Stryker "As a matter of fact how don't you already have bodyguards of your own? How do you not have some sort of state of the art security system of your own?" Dr. Briefs "I don't like to make a fuss." Colonel Stryker, shocked "Okay. So Princess you aw feeling anything."
Princess Ecarole "Well I'm just starting to feel full after weeks of nothing but tube juice and it feels amazing like getting back a missing limp or getting over a week long illness." Colonel Stryker "I mean about the possible threat to Dr. Briefs life."
Princess Ecarole "O that well I still am just getting used to this whole sensing things thing but I can tell you that on this compound there is only us and the rest of the team. Human wise of course after all there seems to be a bunch of dinosaurs nearby. Which doesn't make a lot of sense considering where in a city."
Dr. Briefs "O those are mine I have a breeding program going to reintroduce them back to spots where they had once existed. I raise'em them ship them off." Princess Escarole "Would you mind parting with one or more of them?"
Colonel Stryker "You are not eating his dinosaurs." Princess Escarole, scoffs "Like you could stop me." Colonel Stryker "I have a bomb in your skull." Princess Escarole "So you would really kill me over some dinosaur? Give me a break."
Time passes quickly as there seems to be no sign of an attack. Dr. Briefs shows the Colonel around his compound. Panti tries and fails to make small talk with the Princess. Who ditches Panti and goes snooping around the compound. Maybe looking for something that might deal with the bomb in her head but also just out of boredom.
It becomes clear to her nose that there are normally three people living in this house most likely the woman on the phone. She smells around and finds her room she opens the door and freezes. The room is a messy disaster but what she sees stops her cold. It's a picture of Bulma and Chi-Chi many years ago when they first started their adventure.
Despite the age difference she knows the moment she sees the face of the woman that humiliated her. Their seemed to be photos of the two everywhere in the room and photos of people the Princess had killed. Pretty boy, three-eyes, clown face, shorty, blondie and green hair three-eyes. They all were apparently in some sort of club together.
The Princess's rage started to build her desire to blow this entire building up was growing. Killing this Bulma's parent after all would make Chi-Chi suffer after all.
Colonel Stryker in the doorway looking at the Princess. Colonel Stryker "I don't think killing yourself will really get your vengeance you seek on Chi-Chi."
Princess Escarole "I should have known you would stick your nose into my business." Colonel Stryker "Sorry but you are my business as of late." Princess Escarole "How did you know?"
Colonel Stryker "That your only reason for joining my mission was to find a way to strike back at Chi-Chi. Well you just seem like the type to hold a grudge."
Princess Escarole "I come from a family that holds onto grudges, they keep us alive. I don't know what we would look like without our hate to hold onto."
Colonel Stryker "Really?" Princess Escarole "Without my brother grudge with the Witch and Broly he probably won't know why to get up in the morning. My hatred for my brother keeps me moving. My dad will not shut up about the Tuffles and Frieza. The heat death of the universe could occur but we will still be holding on."
Colonel Stryker "No wonder why you got along with Gero." Princess Escarole "The way he talks just makes sense."
An explosion rocks the compound rattling the walls. The two look at each other and nod. The Colonel rushes to Dr. Brief's location while the Princess punches her way through the walls and exits the building in the air above where the jet-copter exploded.
She looks to see a bunch of dead Special Forces with the last one unloading a clip and what she would describe as a wrong colored saibamen. She lands in between the bio-men and the survivor who quickly takes off. She feels them out realizing that they don't seem to be emitting ki and their not fully organic.
Bio-man one, robotically "Get out of the way." Princess Escarole "No make me!"
The six Bio-men charged at the Princess after having circled around her. For their trouble she blow them away with her energy. She singles out the lead and fires a blast that explodes him. The remaining five fire blasts at her but before they could hit she disappears reappearing behind one and decapitates the lot of them with a blast of energy.
In the house Stryker managed to get to Dr. Briefs when a misshaped old man grabbed ahold of the doctor and disappeared in a flash of light.
Colonel Stryker "What in the fu…" The Princess bursts into the hangar where Stryker is. She looks around. Princess Escarole "So where's the doc." Colonel Stryker "Gone… They just disappeared."
Princess Escarole "So a teleporter huh." Colonel Stryker "Good thing I left a tracer with him." Princess Escarole "So where are they?" The Colonel places his revolver back into its holster and takes a phone out of his pocket he looks.
Colonel Stryker "Antarctica." Princess Escarole "Is it far?" Colonel Stryker "Well considering were in West City yeah. It's on the bottom of the world."
Princess Escarole "Well were not taking another one of your slow as hell jets. I'm flying." Colonel Stryker "Wait that would mean…" Princess Escarole "Yeah I'm carrying you and I may or may not drop you. Depending on my mood." Colonel Stryker "Let's talk about this…"
The Princess grabbed ahold of the Colonel and the two fly off bursting through the roof. For dear life the Colonel held onto the Princess. They flew along at mock speeds but the Princess's aura kept him from being ripped apart.
Princess Escarole "So what do you do beside babysit me and play spy?" Colonel Stryker "Mostly spend time with my wife and kid. Thanks to you I haven't seen a lot of them lately." Princess Escarole "I feel so bad for you heh." Colonel Stryker "I'm sure you are."
The two come to the frozen continent below them as far as the horizon could go nothing but ice. After miles of this they finally get to a loaming pitch black object. Something not seeming of the Earth more like something out of a Lovecraftian tale. The black dome with strange symbols and runes seemed to radiate utter darkness.
Both the Colonel and the Princess audibly gasp at the sight of it neither having seen anything like it ever before. The two land before an opening she lets go of him.
Princess Escarole "I haven't seen much of your planet. But a part of my brain is telling me that this is not from Earth."
Colonel Stryker "Definitely not from Earth they must have found something all those years ago in the ice and dug it up. I'm going to take a wild stab and say you've never seen anything like this."
Princess Escarole "Yep. But since I don't like standing out in the cold I feel like just blow up this entire place."
Colonel Stryker "But Dr. Briefs and the other kidnapped people are more likely than not in that building!"
Princess Escarole "I'm not hear how this is my problem." A ball like object out in the corner or the door glows red and highlights the Colonel and Princess.
Dr. Kochin "Welcome my Princess and Colonel to the Terror Dome." The large black doors to the building begin to open and the already frozen air seems to get colder. The dark hallway opens up before them showing nor telling anything.
Colonel Stryker "I really don't like this." Princess Escarole, in a heroic tone "Shut up. You have the most badass Princess in the galaxy here with you have nothing to worry about. Now are you going to keep whining or are we going to go kill something so I can go back and finish of the Briefs pantry."
The Princess grabs ahold of the Colonel and pulls him into the building as the door slowly closes behind them trapping them in. The two rush in as the end of the hallway there seems to be a light. They enter the room to find it an empty ground level but above them tons of oddly floating metal balls.
Before either could speak the balls seemed to morph allowing massive spikes to merge on its sides. They flew at the two looking skewer them both. The Princess surrounded the two with her aura making a shield. Then unleashed at energy on everything not in the bubble vaporizing the metal spheres and shaking the entire building.
The Princess shakes her head in disappointment. Princess Escarole "Is that all you got? Because the Witch's house in the cloud is scarier and she never even tried to kill me." Dr. Kochin "That's just the appetizer wait till we get to the main course." Princess Escarole "If you keep talking about food I'm going to eat you when I see you and I am not joking."
The door to the next room opens up and the two go running in through another hallway they reach a second empty room this time finding three doors the shot open the moment they enter with the door closing behind them.
The Colonel takes out his revolver at which the Princess rolls her eyes at. Light streams in from the three doors and three oddly shaped figures come out from the blinding yellow light.
One figure is a yellow pot marked blob of a creature with dead eyes a fat head and three craws on its hand with giant pink lips. The creature has a chest pieces only covering a small portion of his upper chest it is black with pink trimmings.
The second creature is a green scaly skinned monster with red scales on the random some almost acting like freckles with a metal body armor on, colored dark blue with white trimmings. The creature also has sharpened spines on his back like Godzilla without a tail.
The third creature is far more human in design with red hair, pink skin, and large jaw, with muscled. He has on black armor with red-brown trimmings.
Dr. Kochin, still just a voice to them "Now let us see how the might of the Saiyan race deals with our Bio-Warriors! Misokatsun, Kishime and Ebifurya eliminate the intruders."
The Princess charges a blast and fires it up wards picks up the Colonel. Princess Escarole "Can't fight at my fullest while you're here." Picks him up and chucks him up towards the hole. The shocked Colonel goes through the hole and manages to land on his feet on the floor above.
All three of the creatures attack the Princess at once the fists fly and she quickly gains the upper hand. She kicks the green one back and punches the pink one in the face. She fires a ki blast at the yellow one but the creature stomach catches the blast and knocks it back at her.
She dodges her own blast and the three charge her again. She blows them away with her energy then tries to punch the yellow one but finds all of her punch merely getting absorbed by the creature fat body.
The yellow creature bounces her away with his stomach and the green one unleashes a lighting attack on her. The moment the green one is done the pink one fires from his hand a freeze ray of some sort that coats the Princess in ice.
Dr. Kochin "Well I thought that would be a lot tougher. Jonathan are you sure that you want her body?" A chuckling comes from the ice statue. The sculpture explodes in a white light sending the creatures flying.
Princess Escarole "Did you really think that a Princess of the Saiyan race would be defeated that easily. Silly abominations I don't die I kill and today is a good day to kill."
She disappears then reappears with her fist together and smacks down on the green one crushing his skull. She turns her head and fires an eye beam at the pink one with goes through his skull. The two collapse dead as she looks over to the yellow one that is now looking a bit scared.
She puts her finger up to her nose. Princess Escarole "Times up." She charges forward head first into the creature into his stomach. The creature body horribly contorts to absorb the impact being stretched until finally the skin rips and she goes bursting out of its body. Her face is cover in its viscera.
She licks up some of the oddly colored blood. Princess Escarole, in disgust "Ewe tastes like rotten eggs." She looks over to the dying monster and chuckles.
While this was going on the Colonel managed to find an exit to the room he found himself in and was making his way through the hallways when he stopped to see Dr. Briefs before him. The doctor seemed odd not in his typical happy mood but serious and angry looking. There were yellow veins alien to human kind coming out of his head.
Colonel Stryker "Doctor! Thank goodness I found you! Do you know where the other kidnapped people are?" A hand from the shadows came out and struck the Colonel on the back of the neck he fall to the ground unconscious.
The Colonel then wakes up later his gun and equipment gone chained up in a pitch black room with only the light below him. He mumbles the word "Ominous" to himself. The floor not that far away explodes open and the Princess emerges out of it. She mumbles the word "Ominous" then looks to the Colonel.
Princess Escarole "O come on I leave you alone for a minute and you got yourself captured. And how ironic it's in a steel pitch black room. Sound familiar?"
Dr. Kochin "Well you certain proved that you are the strongest thing on the planet right now."
A flood light turns on revealing the Dr. Kochin an elderly man with a cane and a brain in a jar attached to a massive exoskeleton suit. The Colonel gasps "Anderson and Jonathan how, why."
Dr. Wheelo, booming voice "My colleague and I found a ship in the ice almost fifty years ago as a part of our UNIT research along with a team. We were frozen in and we all began to die from starvation and the cold. But the ship didn't allow us to die. The team was allowed to but we were not. It gave Kochin the knowledge of how to remove my brain from my frostbitten body to this jar and become a part of its beauty. Over time it made its will know to us that it want more than just our minds and bodies but all seven billion minds and bodies and the Earth itself. It also intends to grant my wish for a new body so I can be a better servant to my master. Soon there will be nothing but it and it alone. The minds that we have gather for it will return to the world and help spread its divinity over the Earth."
The Colonel is in stunned silence while the Princess looks bored and aggravated. Dr. Kochin "Soon you both will be a part of the collective and help feed our god's hunger." Princess Escarole "Well I have heard enough." She cup her hand smashes them together with the wrists touch and fires a massive blast at the brain of Dr. Wheelo.
A massive explosion occurs and the area gets cover in dust. The Princess smirks in satisfaction but then is stunned to see a shield around the creature. The floor itself grabs her by the feet and congeals. A weird red light emerges from the floor surrounding her.
The light brings with it thought feelings of an alien being not of her own trying to warp her to its way of thinking. Its feeling like a bottomless pit surrounding you wiping away everything that once was not to destroy but to clean and rearrange. Her family, her race, she feels them disappearing from her but her rage and her hate they refuse to die.
She could imagine her asshole brother on the throne, Chi-Chi living long and dying happy. The Colonel becoming an empty drone that which she could not hurt. But her last and most powerful thoughts linger for some strange reason on never seeing Broly again.
The anger came over powering the red light it being pushed back as her aura turned yellow. She destroyed the floor and she seemed to tap out. Her body could not keep going with her power increase.
She panted as whatever happen took a lot of her strength. Princess Escarole, yelling "I will say this once and only once never fucking do that again!" Out of the shadows emerged Master Roshi, with yellow veins in his head. Ready to try and fight her. She scoffs and appears behind him and back hands him away.
The Princess then appears in front of Dr. Kochin with her hand in his face. She fires and obliterates him revealing his mechanical nature underneath his ancient dead skin.
Dr. Wheelo came out of the wall in a rage at this his massive black body with its sharp clamps for hands. The Creature sparked as it detached from the wall doing so cut some sort of connect and the yellow veins on Roshi's head fell off.
Roshi woke up to the situation and freed the Colonel. Master Roshi "Sonny go find Dr. Briefs I will help her." Colonel Stryker "I'm thirty five." He said that and rushed down a nearby set of stairs.
Roshi jumped over to the Princess's position. Master Roshi "Dark one why are you helping us?" Princess Escarole "Are you seriously asking me that question right now?" Roshi nods. Princess Escarole "Fine first it was because of a bomb in my head and food now it's about killing this fucking thing for messing with my head."
Master Roshi "Just wanted to know." Princess Escarole "I don't need your useless old ass's help!" Master Roshi "Maybe not but it messed with my head too so it's payback time."
They both getting into fighting stance as the monster shrieks in horror having to rip itself apart. Roshi charges for the Kamehameha as Escarole charges for the Galick Gun. The Monster fires from a red light a beam of energy as the two fire their blasts.
A beam struggle occurs as both sides put everything into it. The roof above them explodes off they overpower the creature and it shoots upwards heading into the upper atmosphere. The creature lets out a horrified scream and then the brain case cracks and the monster explodes leaving it nothing but ashes.
The remaining kidnapped people are gathered up and helped outside the moment everyone is clear the Princess gathers up a blast and fires it at the build leveling and blowing it up. Pure joy comes over her face as it is destroyed.
A transport comes to takes everyone home as the Princess contracts her aura using it to keep everyone warm. Roshi bows to the Princess.
Master Roshi "Despite our differences I would like to thank you for saving my life and all of these innocent people's lives." Princess Escarole "Don't flatter yourself old man I killed that thing for my reasons and my reason alone. You were just an accident." Master Roshi "The other seem to think you're not so bad. Hey it might even become a regular thing people being happy to see you might even enjoy it."
Princess Escarole "Fat chance their all worthless peons at could live or die for all I care." Master Roshi "Why do you hate feeling so much why didn't you just let go when it had you?" Princess Escarole "Shut up. It's none of your business."
Master Roshi "The more you hate the more you kill, the less you will be, the more you give into your fear. You can achieve great strength but never be happy." Princess Escarole "What the hell do you know!" Master Roshi "Seen it before. Now is their anyway that I can reward you gorgeous!"
Roshi hand reached for her breasts. The Princess face went bright red with rage and she punched him away hard. Roshi went skidding away. Princess Escarole screaming "Try and touch me again old man and I will eat you alive!"
The other left leaving Colonel and the Princess waiting for the UNIT transport despite her aggravation something about his words seemed to resonate. She felt her mind changing kind of like in the ship but softly and with her help it would seem.
Parts of her were revolting. Things that she shut down since childhood waken by the light and the leecher's words. What if she didn't want to be a killer?
The black structure as they left began to slowly put itself back together. As the sun set over the horrid thing. The way the light struck the place made it clear that it was not the only structure of its kin at the bottom of the world.
