Asbringer36- Now I can let you state your opinion on extracting judgment on those sorts of people. Thanks for the suggestion of improvement.
Insieme per la vittoria: I'm glad you caught on to the fact I am making Zod the protagonist. Now that maybe too much of a jump, considering this story is following up alongside events in the original base story.
TKellz24: Thanks for the compliment. Now I will do my best to not fall in that trap you stated. Actually, I am sort of going that route, but not necessarily. Mala was the Kryptonian prisoner from Superman; the Animated Series. Non is still there. Ursa will be brought up here. Faora? She will make an appearance, but not as how you may expect.
Grey Specter: Thanks for the compliment. Now it will be a little difficulty as the story escalates.
Time had passed after the death and assassination of the Planet Trade Organization warlord, Cooler. Three months to be exact since the Icegen's death and his empire desperately trying to keep control of the planets that were under his control.
What of the newly discovered invasive race of Kryptonians? In the months that had passed, General Zod had ordered the advancement in war materials for the planet they were stationed in.
Thanks to Kryptonian scientist, Jax-Ur, who had the knowledge to supervise the natives of the planet to distribute the necessary technology that would be needed for the oncoming storm that they would be leading.
After those months had past, the Kryptonian, leading their newly gained army of slaves turned soldiers, and they finally struck.
In the quadrants of what was supposed to be the territory of Cooler's empire, there were planets that were occupied by soldiers of the Planet Trade Organization, who followed the orders of Cooler and King Cold only. There were fractions of these planets that were still trying to keep control, after receiving the reports of Cooler's untimely demise.
On one of these planets, there was a battle that had barely ended. There were collapsed ruins of infrastructure, craters from explosions, and the bodies of soldiers that were wearing the same type of armor that members of the Planet Trade Organization were issued to wear.
Inside the war torn city of buildings, there was the sound of a celebration. There was what looked to be the army that had fought the occupiers of the planet they were on. They were armed with weapons that looked to be fairly different from the weaponry this universe had produced so far, and their armor made it seem as if they were medieval warriors but still showed the signs and details that they were still technologically advanced.
Each soldier, was the same race that was once enslaved by Cooler, but were then liberated by the mysterious yet powerful, Kryptonian, led by the brilliant, General Zod.
The high ranking officer of this army of slaves turned soldiers, stepped up on to a collapsed pillar, where he could see his fellow soldiers and be able to speak to them out loud.
"This world, was once our sister-world! Now it once again, belongs to her people!" the captain shouted, as his fellow soldiers shouted in achievement. The captain then turned back for a moment, and saw Mala standing with her hands placed behind her.
The captain immediately gave his salute to the second commander of the Kryptonians, and waited to given permission to be at ease. Which wasn't too long, as Mala gave him the permission. Mala walked past the captain, and stood in front of the celebrating army, which started to quiet down once they saw Mala standing in front of them.
"By the command of General Dru-Zod, you will celebrate the spoils of war. This is your world now," Mala said, right before all the soldiers cheered, before the dispersed and went their way to celebrate on their own terms.
As the mass of slaves turned army were celebrating, about a mile from the ruined city, there were large space battle cruisers hovering above the ground. Inside one of the cruisers in what had to be the main deck of the ship, was Zod setting down on a chair. The general was holding in his hands a black glove.
The glove belonged to his previous second commander and late wife, Ursa.
In an empty void of nothingness, chaos and destruction was happening all around the remnants of Krypton. The leader of such an intelligent and powerful race looked at the destruction happening around him.
The realm of their damnation was breaking apart and rips in the space of the Zone were appearing only to show in the tear nothing but darkness. The darkness, only a glimpse at the space on the other side to be nothing left.
Each tear came with an extreme powerful vacuum that was pulling every object, whether it be physical or just astral due to the Phantom Zone's properties. The vacuum was pulling anything into the void of the destruction of an entire universe.
The Kryptonian general looked to his chief scientific officer, Jax-Ur, and demanded with a booming voice over the destruction that they were witnessing.
"Jax-Ur! What in Rao's name is happening?!"
"This… this can't be possible! It's too soon!" Jax said out loud.
"What is happening!?" Zod demanded for an answer.
"This is the end. This is the end of everything." Jax could only say those words, as he observed nature's fury. "Such an extraordinary display."
"General! Your orders!" Ursa shouted, as she still believed that in any situation there was, she knew that Zod would is capable of getting them out.
"Evacuate now! Jax, what are those tears," Zod asked.
"They are tears from the physical dimension of the universe. Cracks from the aftershock of the destruction. If anyone gets near them, they are dead just like the universe out there," Jax said in a rush.
"There has to be a way out!" Zod said.
"General Zod, there is nothing going to be left," Jax reminded his superior.
"There is always a way out! Always! Now find it!" Zod yelled at Jax, before he looked to Ursa. "Ursa, get everyone that is inside of Fort Rozz, now!"
"Yes, sir," Ursa acknowledged, and went back inside of the Fort Rozz.
"Krypton's children will not perish!"
"General."
Zod's flashback was disturbed and brought back to the present, as he heard someone calling out to him. The General looked to the side of him to see Mala standing to the left of his command seat.
"Our volunteer forces are celebrating the victory of claiming this planet," Mala said.
"Hmm… spoils of war," Zod said out loud, as he was still holding on the Ursa's glove.
Mala could see her supreme officer holding onto the glove of his deceased wife. She had compassion for the General's loss, but Mala seemed to have a twinge of jealousy because she had accepted the fact that she was attracted to Zod. The fact that Zod was still mourning the loss of his wife and he was already leading a new empire of Krypton in such a fast progress in under a few months since their time in this new universe.
"Sir, what are your plans for our younglings," Mala asked.
"The soldiers' heirs. They will be placed into combat training, as soon as we establish more control on different planets," Zod said, as he stood up from his seat, and walked away.
'I hope he knows what he is doing. His judgment could be little off when it has come for the young ones. Espicially for little Faora,' Mala recalled, as she remembered Zod's attachment for the daughter of one of his fallen soldiers that he attempted to save.
Meanwhile…
Corporal Vik-Od, was sent to scout a planet that could work out as an outpost for the Kryptonian Corp. He was piloting his one man aircraft to get to the planet, because reports about the planet was that it orbited an orange star, which meant that it would not be providing as much energy as a yellow sun could provide. Vik pressed on a button on a wrist communicator, brought it up close to his face to speak into it.
"Record log; this is Corporal Vik-Od of the Kryptonian Corp. I have visual contact with the planet set for scouting. Planet Trade Organization Intel calls this planet, Arlia. Arlia orbits around an orange sun. Great Rao, it almost looks like Krypton's sun. So long since I was only a kid," Vik pauses for a moment, after he realizes he was saying irrelevant comments into the recorder that was meant for records.
"Logging off."
Vik piloted the ship to enter the atmosphere, and controlled its landing on the ground. From looking through the cockpit window of his rocket, Vik could see the area that he had landed in looked more to be a barren wasteland.
Vik then opened the cockpit to allow himself to leave his rocket. The Kryptonian flew up into the air to get a better look around the area, and he could still see it to be more of a desert with a few traces of ruins. Vik then decided to use his hearing to pick up any life activity on the planet.
The Kryptonian scout managed to pick up what had to be a city or a village, so that was his next objective to see what the inhabitants were and if they were to be formidable assets to Krypton's cause.
However, unknown to Vik, there was a ship above the planet Arlia's orbit, and it was another model to the Freiza's ship. But it was not Freiza who was inside the ship, instead, it was the head of the Planet Trade Organization, King Cold, himself.
"My king, that rocket does not appear in any records of spacecraft," an officer said, as he looked at the monitors that had a paused image of the Kryptonian crafted rocket.
"Can you follow its trajectory trail from where it came from," Cold asked, as he looked through the window that gave view of the planet.
"Yes, my king. The trail leads back to the coordinates that are located in the quadrant where Lord Cooler was killed," the officer answered.
"Then this person should know what really happened. Prepare for landing, and prepare the troops," Cold said.
Vik had already found the so called city he thought he heard. Instead, it looked more to be mass of infrastructure where the people, or more than likely, insect people, were living in conditions worse than a third world nation in poverty. A number had already noticed Vik floating above the air, and they were all pointing up to him and saying different comments about some humanoid being flying in the sky looking down upon them.
The Kryptonian then turned to his right and looked down to see what had to be the local law enforcement, because they were riding on larger insect like beasts, and were carrying spears as weapons. There were two of them, and they were both looking up to Vik.
"You will come with us, invader," one of the insect warriors said.
"I mean no harm. My name is Corporal Vik-Od, emissary to General Dru-Zod of Krypton. I wish to speak with your leader," Vik said in a tone that would tell the warriors that he was no hostile.
"The king does not answer to invaders, despite what they say. You are coming with us whether you like it or not," the other warrior growled, as he controlled the beast he was riding on to reach for the Kryptonian to apprehend him.
However, Vik breathed in air and released the air with a powerful gust of air pushing the beast down to the ground with the warrior being crushed by the force of the wind.
"I come in peace in order to negotiate with your king in hopes of convincing you to surrender your planet for occupation for the Kryptonian Corp," Vik said, as he elevated higher into the air.
He was going to make another move in attacking them, but he then heard an object entering the atmosphere of the planet. Vik looked up and found an object entering the atmosphere in a fireball leaving a trail of smoke behind it.
Vik took a closer look to see what it was that was entering the planet, and he found a ship that looked to be the same model as the ship that was found in the ship yard that was in the planet that took from Cooler. From information they gathered, it was supposed to be a ship that carried important persons, such as leaders of the organization. That meant there was someone powerful as Cooler on that ship.
Vik flew to the direction where the ship was landing, which was in the desert region. The Kryptonian saw the ship's passengers were already outside of the ship, and were gathered for combat. Vik also saw what had to be King Cold, due to his close resemblance to Cooler.
"Prepare to engage. I want to see if this person has any connection to my son's death," Cold said to his men.
Vik then landed right in front of the gathered mass of Cold's soldiers and King Cold himself.
"That armor you're wearing, it is not like any issued armor that is out in this galaxy. Who do you work for," Cold asked.
Vik was a bit nervous, for this was his first time on his own on a mission, and he was only a Corporal. But, he needed to stay strong because he was a soldier of Krypton. Vik inhaled and exhaled before he responded to King Cold.
"You will identify yourself," Vik responded.
"I am King Cold. Founding ruler of the Planet Trade Organization and the Cold Empire. Now you will tell me who you work for," Cold stated with pride.
"My name is Corporal Vik-Od. I am a soldier of the Kryptonian Military Corp," Vik answered.
Cold recognized that word. Kryptonian. He heard it in one of the communications that organization that assassinated Cooler had something to do with a race called, Kryptonians.
"Take him," Cold said to his men.
After those words were said, in Vik's view of perspective everything was slow, he could see Cold's men preparing to fire at him or making their way charge at Vik. Vik-Od then knew that this was his stand against the hostile forces of Cold's army.
"For Krypton!" Vik shouted, before countered the first attacker that attempted to throw a punch, but instead had his chest stabbed through by Vik's fist. The other attackers that charged at Vik suffered the same fate, as Vik landed punches on each of them.
The other soldier's that didn't charge at the Kryptonian, fired at well at Vik in hopes of killing him with their blasts. Unfortunately for them, the blasts didn't even harm the Kryptonian soldier.
Vik looked to the right flank of Cold's men, and unleashed a laser of his heat vision from that one side. From the right flank, each of them were being cut down by the heat vision and they were all falling down like trees being cut by a powerful chainsaw.
Cold only had a moment to react and fly upward to avoid the laser, as it cut down all the men that he had with him. The Icegen fired at the Kryptonian from the air, but the blast only created an explosion and Vik charged out from the smoke and knocked Cold away into a distance.
King Cold knew that this Kryptonian was extremely powerful, so he wasn't going to take any chances to see how much was necessary to defeat this new foe. Cold then charged up power so that he may transform passed his physical forms to gain more power.
Vik was stunned by the lights and weather effect that was happening around him from Cold's power up and transformation. As the light and smoke dispersed, Vik saw Cold looked more different from when he was in the beginning. Cold looked exactly similar to Cooler, without the horns on his head, and that he was slightly shorter than how he was in his previous form.
"Dead or alive, you are coming with me," Cold said, as he powered up, and charged at Vik.
Thanks to the surprisingly new power and strength, Cold landed punches on Vik's face, which threw Vik back from the impact.
'This King Cold is a lot stronger! How is he stronger?' Vik thought to himself, as he tried to recover from the punches from Cold.
Cold still kept raining strikes on Vik, until Vik used his powerful lungs to blow a precise blow of air with the force of a hurricane in the precise area to Cold's chest, which managed to push Cold back.
Cold recovered quickly and fired a volley of blasts at the Kryptonian, and pushing the Kryptonian down to the ground. However, Vik tried fighting through the blasts, as he tried to make his way to the Icegen.
Vik decided, instead of trying to fight through the blasts, he charged up his heat vision and fired at Cold. Cold was hit by the blast, and he was stunned by the heat blast which stopped him from firing the ki blasts.
'Why didn't he get killed by the heat vision? It was supposed to be able to kill like the others. Wait... the sun,' Vik looked to the orange sun. 'The sun. It's fairly old. Almost turning to a red sun.'
Cold was just about to charge at Vik again, but this time Vik was prepared. Vik blocked every punch and kick that Cold tried to land on the Kryptonian. The Icegen was getting irritated from the lack of landing punches on the soldier, so he took a good aim on the Kryptonian and fired his own eye laser on the Kryptonian.
However, the laser seemed to only leave a burned mark on the Kryptonian, but it didn't seem to harm the Kryptonian anymore. Vik needed to end the fight now before it escalated, so he took the fight to higher altitudes.
The Kryptonian and Icegen were increasing altitude, as they still kept fighting on. Cold was starting to notice how the Kryptonian was starting to land even more powerful punches on him. They were more painful and were starting to leave behind not just bruises, but instead gashes across his skin seeping from the injuries.
Cold then found himself being unable to punch because the force from the Kryptonian's strikes were starting to knock him back and forth from each punch. Vik then targeted his strikes on the Icegen's abdomen area, by landing lower swing punches to the Icegen.
'Was number three contestant in Military Corp boxing tournament. There is a reason for that,' Vik thought to himself, as he landed more combinations of punches.
From every punch that Vik landed, he was starting to gain even more confidence in himself in defeating the leader of the number one hostile to Kryptonian Military Corp.
Vik then pulled back to take a better look at the Icegen, and he could see King Cold covered in bloody injuries from the Kryptonian's punches.
"Want to know something? I was actually a little scared about going up against you on my own. But you know what I'm feeling now? I am feeling like Kal-El when faced off against all those monsters on his world and on New Krypton," Vik said to King Cold.
"I do not give a damn," Cold growled, as he fired a large blast at the Kryptonian, which pushed Vik back a distance back.
"Why won't you fall!?" Cold yelled, as he was able to see Vik still fighting through the blast.
Vik could hear Cold yelling with his superior hearing over the blast hitting him. The Kryptonian stopped and set himself up to stop the blast where he was. He looked towards Cold and powered up his heat vision and fired at the Icegen.
The blazing red energy blast hit Cold's right arm and the numbing burn from the blast didn't allow Cold to feel anything. Even if Cold has sense perception of touch, the Icegen wouldn't be able to feel his arm because his arm was completely gone.
The Icegen looked in horror at what had happened to his arm. King Cold could not believe what happened; this man was only soldier, and there was telling how powerful his leader was.
"I think tables are turn, lizard. Dead or alive, you are coming with me," Vik said to Cold, as he moved to Cold.
Cold knew that if he allowed the Kryptonian to take him, he was already a dead man. King Cold looked to the only solution he had for escape. The Icegen charged up his supernova attack, and he lifted the large energy ball up.
"What are you going up to," Vik asked, right before he saw the Icegen throw the great energy ball to the planet they were above.
Vik watched as the energy ball was thrown to the planet's surface, and then crashed the crust and after a small moment could see eruptions happening all around the planet. From the eruptions, there started to show larger cracks on the planet. It was only a matter of half a minute until the planet blew up.
The force of the planet exploding pushed the Kryptonian and the Icegen away. However, the Icegen was already expecting the explosion and used it to his advantage to make his escape.
Vik was still caught in the explosion's shockwave, and it took him a moment to try and gain his composure and control. The Kryptonian looked to where the planet Arlia was supposed to be.
"That genocidal bastard!" Vik cursed, as he looked around to search for Cold, but he could not find him.
'I must get back to base. General Zod must hear what sort of man he is going to hunt down,' Vik thought to himself, as he flew off to base.
Meanwhile, Cold was still recovering from his encounter with planet explosion, and he searched to see the Kryptonian already on his way leaving. The Icegen sighed in relief from his close encounter with getting killed.
"I need to find the nearest planet that should still be under my control," Cold said, as he slowly made his way to find a safe location.
As the Kryptonian and the Icegen went on their different ways, there were two space pods dashing through the space near what used to be Arlia. Inside each of the pods was a Saiyan wearing the same type of armor that Cold's men wore.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Hey, Vegeta?"
"What?!"
"Can we stop by that bug planet?"
"Nappa if it will shut you up for five seconds, then fine!"
The Saiyan duo made their way to what used to be Arlia, but was no just scattered remains of Arlia.
"Wait? Where the hell is it?!" Vegeta growled, as he looked around for any planet that was around there location.
"Oh that's a shame. I guess there is no other thing left to do but get going to Earth," Nappa said through the radio.
"That's the smartest thing you ever said from the beginning of this trip!" Vegeta growled, as he set his pod, as well Nappa, to fly to Earth.
"So… are we there yet?"
'Five months of this. Five months of this idiot never shutting up!' Vegeta thought to himself, as he clawed his head to get rid of his migraine headache.
Meanwhile…
Vik was not the only Kryptonian soldier that had been sent out to scout near-by planets with established governments that were not a part of the Planet Trade Organization. In another area of the galaxy, a one man spacecraft was rocketing through space to its destination.
The pilot of the Kryptonian rocket was Sergeant Nam-Ek, who seemed to be a lot different from the previously introduced Kryptonian scout/emissary. Nam-Ek was older and more experienced in one man missions, especially when it came to meeting with possible new allies or hostiles.
"Gaining visual contact of unknown planet. Planet Trade Organization Intel has no record or knowledge of this planet's residents and whereabouts. Sensor probes have detected that this world is carrying sentient life activity. Entering planet atmosphere," Nam said to the recorder, as he controlled his rocket to land on the planet.
From the floor of the planet, the residents could see the incoming object entering their planet's atmosphere.
"Could that be one of Freiza's scouts," one of them asked.
"This is Cooler's quadrant. Not Freiza's. Whatever it is, scouters can't pick up anything," another one asked.
"Let's just get ready and be ready to attack," another one said.
Nam-Ek landed his rocket with safe landing, and dismounted from his spacecraft to begin his search for any established government on that planet. However, he was already met with a welcoming party. Or more accurately, a war party ready to attack him.
The Kryptonian saw humanoids wearing the similar armor that Cooler's men wore, but they were not consisted of different species. They all looked the same as humanoids with crazy wild black hair. Then Nam-Ek noticed the brown furry belts that were around their waists.
"We Saiyans have stayed hidden from Freiza and his family for quite a long time now. So we intend to keep it that way," one of these so called, Saiyans, said to Nam-Ek. "So who do you work for?"
"My name Sergeant Nam-Ek. I am a soldier of the Kryptonian Military Corp, and I do not answer to the individuals that are currently in power of the Planet Trade Organization," Nam-Ek presented his debrief.
"Is that so? Well if you are against King Cold and his sons, maybe you are not aware of the power they have. Freiza himself managed to destroy our home planet, along with a majority of our Saiyan comrades, including our king. What makes you think you Kryptonians will stand a chance," the leading Saiyan asked, after his monologue of the Colds' power.
"Tell me something; do any of you have any knowledge about Lord Cooler," Nam-Ek asked.
"Yes, Freiza's brother. He is just as powerful as Freiza, if not more stronger," the same Saiyan replied.
"My commander & chief, faced Lord Cooler in his own planet after a simple stated request that he surrender. Cooler declined it, and my general forced Cooler to fall to his knees, after breaking him, even in a form that was proclaimed to give him more power. Then General Zod beheaded him right there on that spot, and he didn't even have the slightest injury from Cooler's so called attacks," Nam-Ek said with pride for his leader.
The Saiyans all had wide open as they heard of what one Kryptonian was able to do to one of the Colds.
"And let me remind you, that each and every Kryptonian is just as strong as the next Kryptonian standing by his or her side. We have no intentions in gaining power by the methods the Planet Trade Organization uses, and we have a set objective to destroy that Organization for their crimes. And we will bring prosperity to the galaxy. Now, I am assuming from your armor that you had a run in with one of the Colds, and it seemed that you all fought for them. And from your statement about Freiza destroying your planet, I know that each and every one of you have righteous fury to unleash on Freiza. Join my Kryptonian brothers and sisters, and you all may be soldiers of the Kryptonian Corp," Nam-Ek explained his stand.
"Heheheha. We Saiyans live for the fight. If someone who is capable of killing an alpha Icegen, they are our friends," the Saiyan said, as the other Saiyans mumbled in agreement with nods towards each other.
"Then let me contact my command, and we will work out more agreements to this alliance," Nam-Ek said, as he made his way to his rocket.
That is that. The Kryptonians have transformed the race that were once slaves and are now a nation of war. Now they are ready to take not just worlds that belonged to them, but any valuable assets. Zod has some ghosts in the past, and Mala has stated to have an attachment with a Kryptonian child named, Faora. The Kryptonian scouts have ran into some rather unique individuals; King Cold and Saiyans. What is to happen now?
Vegeta: What is your angle with this?
Superiornite: What do you mean?
Vegeta: This the second time mention me in this story. What's your angle?
Superiornite: Oh I don't know, maybe give teasers and reference to my other story which this story is a spin off to.
Vegeta: If you make me a joke in this one, I'll kill you.
Superiornite: You can't kill me.
Vegeta: Why not?
Superiornite: Because that.
Vegeta: What… *Godzilla appears and lunges to take a bite on Vegeta* ARRRRRRGGH!
Superiornite: God I love to make you suffer.
