Goku and I reappeared next to Krillin on Master Roshi's island. "Hey," Goku said, a small grin forming on his face.

"Whoa!" Krillin yelped. He jumped back and almost fell on top of Oolong, dropping the phone in his hand on the poor pig.

"Hey, watch where you're going," said the pervert. "It's bad enough that I have to avoid Master Roshi's nosebleeds!" After hearing a dinging sound, Oolong started to walk away.

"Sorry," Krillin apologized. Then, his face became more serious. "So you guys sense it, too?"

"Yeah," I answered. "It feels...like Frieza. I don't think that it's him, though. First of all, Goku and I killed that freak with our Kamehameha Waves. Second, this Power Level is too strong. The scary thing is that there's an even stronger person with them, though!"

"We should get everyone together," Goku continued. "I think the best place to meet could be Bulma's place."

"Right. Should I call people?" asked Krillin.

"Call Yamcha," I said. "For now, I'll take Goku to Capsule Corp. and then I'll get Gohan." Goku and Krillin nodded.


Less than an hour later, everyone, including a pink-clad Vegeta, was sitting around a table outside in Bulma's backyard. Almost everyone looked worried and/or scared.

"This power is unreal!" Vegeta stammered. "How could there be two people stronger than Frieza? One would make sense because of Frieza's father being so strong, but two?! That doesn't make any sense!"

"Calm down, princess," said Piccolo rudely yet calmly. He was the only person who wasn't letting his fear mask his judgment. "Goku and Frui are probably strong enough to take on these people, and they might not even be evil! Haven't you ever considered that violence could be the least of our worries?"

"Shut up, slug!" responded Vegeta explosively. "I know a Frost Demon's Power Level when I sense it! As the only living family of them is Frieza's, this has to be King Cold!"

"Who's King Cold?" asked Tien.

"You know how Frieza runs the Planet Trade Organization?" Vegeta explained. "Let's just say that Cold is the real owner of the empire. He's much stronger than Frieza and he has powerful minions, too. I won't be surprised if any of you dies today!" Vegeta was looking directly at Krillin when he said that.

"So he's stronger than Frieza, is he?" Goku sounded interested.

"You don't understand, you dope!" yelled Vegeta. "Cold's second form is even stronger than Frieza's final! If he transforms to a higher state, then you're going to DIE!"

I glared at Vegeta confusedly. "Why are you worrying? You have not one, but two Super Saiyans on your side this time, and we're both stronger than we were on Namek! If it turns out to actually be this King Cold, we'll handle it."

"You say that like I'm pond scum!" Vegeta's face was turning extremely red. "I am your Prince, peasant! I have more uses than just breathing air! I was born to fight!" Vegeta's left eye was starting to turn red, too, as if a blood vessel had popped.

Vegeta just sat there for a few seconds before shouting, "Shut up, ghost of Nappa!"

"Didn't you kill him?" asked Krillin.

Vegeta calmed down a little bit. "Right. He's dead. I killed him."

That's when Gohan spoke up. "Are we going to face this threat or not?" For a six-year-old, he could be quite demanding. It was probably Chi-Chi's DNA.

Everyone shut up except Vegeta who was mumbling something about ghosts.

After a few seconds, Goku stood up and said, "Let's go." We all stood up and flew to the location where the ship would most likely land.


Suppressing our Power Levels down to zero, we all landed behind some hills as a round spacecraft like the one that Frieza used flew over our heads.

"See?" Vegeta said. "I warned you, but you brats didn't listen!"

Yamcha responded, "Goku's got this. He's the strongest in our group."

I looked at Goku. "If you need help, just shoot an energy beam into the sky at random. I'll jump into the fight if that happens." He nodded.

For the next mile (1.6 kilometers), we all traveled by foot to avoid getting detected by any scouters. Then, we came to the last hill and we hid behind it. The spaceship, docked on the other side, was surrounded by Planet Trade Organization minions. The two powerful beings hadn't left their vehicle yet.

Everybody watched as the creatures started walking out of the ship. Everybody recognized one of them almost immediately.

"Frieza?!" exclaimed all of us as quietly as possible.


Hey, guys! This chapter is to introduce two characters that you probably already know:
1. King Cold

Those characters are the last of the Frost Demons. If you want to know what happens, just wait for the next chapter (obviously).

Power Levels:
Krillin: 33,000

Piccolo: 1,580,000
Yamcha: 6,000
Vegeta: 3,840,000
Tien: 27,000

I'm willing to answer any and all questions that you have to ask about Rise, Shenron and/or Dragon Ball Z. Just ask your question in a review, and I'll answer it as soon as possible at the end of the next chapter. I'm basing this idea off of what NPBerryHill does with his fan fiction, Bringer of Death. So, yeah. Any and all reasonable questions will be answered.
