I have to put a warning because Makima gets...well she gets very Makima here. I let her loose a bit.

Movie 5: Revenge of Cooler
MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO:
A gargantuan ball of heat barreled down on the red-colored planet, a lone warrior in broken armor cried out as the attack instantly vaporized him. His final words were drowned out by the buzzing sounds of the second sun as it collided with the planet. Watching from above, sadistic glee singing from his lips, was Freeza. The emperor's eyes savored the once-in-a-lifetime sight of the Saiyan home world being eradicated.
Further away from the historical event, another ship similar to Freeza's, watched the death of the battle-obsessed race. Three figures were observing the fall of the Saiyans through several screens inside of the ship.
The first is a turquoise humanoid alien, with short blond hair that is curled to the left and gold eyes. He wears the same upper body armor as his comrades but only one shoulder pad on is left, and he dons a full-length bodysuit that is purple in color. This is Salza.
The next is a large, green-skinned humanoid alien with long black hair. He wears the same upper body armor as his comrades, a white helmet with a brown center, and he is equipped with a yellow Scouter. Instead of a bodysuit like Salza, he wears purple underwear. This is Dore.
The last strange figure is a tall, brown reptilian humanoid. He has big yellow eyes, pointy ears, he wears the same upper body armor as his comrades, and he has a partial purple jumpsuit that covers his torso to his thighs. He wears a blue Scouter that is connected to a head strap. This is Neiz.
"There goes the monkey petting zoo." Salza jokes about the genocide. His eyes shift to the other monitor to see a small pod flying away from the dying world. "Hold it! Zoom in on that image!"
"On it!"
"Give me an internal scan too!"
The camera closes in on the interior of the pod to see a sleeping Saiyan child in small battle armor escaping from the Saiyan home world.
"A Saiyan child? Where is his pod heading to?" Salza asked.
Neiz peered down at the screen. "It would seem his pod is trajected to a small planet in the Milky Way Galaxy."
"Prepare to shoot it down. No monkeys can be allowed to-"
"No." All three men flinch at the sudden intrusion. They turn back to see their boss emerging from the shadows on his hover pod. "Disregard that order."
"Sire!" They bow immediately in his presence.
"B-but, sire, one of those Saiyans is escaping!" Salza exclaimed.
"This matter is Freeza's, not ours. If my foolish little brother is unable to clean up his own messes, then that's his fault and not mine." His pod moved past his men, reaching the front of the control room. "We have far more urgent matters to attend to, other planets to conquer and sell. Besides, how much damage can one Saiyan child cause without his troop of monkeys to back him up?"
The camera zoomed in on Freeza's laughing face, causing the leader to scowl. "Look at him! So busy enjoying his own messy work to notice the folly of his own ideas! If this ever comes back to bite him, then he'll have nobody to blame but himself." His pod turned to show his face to his underlings.
His appearance is similar to Freeza's true form, though his skin is deep purple as opposed to the pure white of his brother. He is also much taller than Freeza. Along with this, he has a distinctively more masculine appearance than that of Freeza, who is leaner built. He also sports several armor-like carapaces on his chest, shoulders, shins, and head. This was none other than Freeza's older brother, Cooler.
"I refuse to play background to his miserable act of superiority any longer. Set course for a galaxy far from here, one where I don't have to hear my brother's irritating voice any longer."
"Yes, Sire!"
As his men began piloting the ship, Cooler's attention turned back to the screens, particularly on the Saiyan space pod that grew further and further away from their view.
MORE THAN 20 YEARS LATER:
On a desolate planet in a far-out galaxy, Cooler rested on a throne made from the corpses of the previous royal family. As weak as this species was (It had only taken half a day for his squadron to wipe them out), their planet was ripe with potential of a high profit. However, after hearing the latest news from his subordinate, the planet was the last thing on his mind. "What?! My brother was killed?"
"Yes, sir Cooler!" Salza responded.
"And who was it that managed to carry out this deed?" As much as Cooler hated his little brother, it would be ignorant to deny his brother's freakish power. There was a reason their father favored Freeza over him.
Salza took a small moment before answering. "It was…the legendary Super Saiyan, sire."
Cooler's eyes went wide at that. "A Saiyan? But not just any Saiyan, the Super Saiyan?"
"Yes, sire."
"I see…" Cooler closes his eyes, mulling over this revelation. So, his oh so great baby brother had been done in by the very race he hated with a burning passion? Oh, this was priceless, perfect even. Cooler formed a devilish smirk. "Seems the real failure of our family was Freeza, Father. Falling at the hands of the barbaric race of monkeys."
"What shall we do about this, sire?" Neiz asked.
"Heh. What else? We shall pay this 'Super Saiyan' a visit. I want to see him with my own eyes, the one that fell my brother…" Cooler raised a hand before clenching it tightly. "...And crush him with my own two hands! Killing him will certainly right my place as the true ruler of the universe and prove I'm far greater than my insipid little brother!" Cooler stands from his throne. "Where is this Super Saiyan located?"
"Scanners show that he is on a planet called Earth." Salza answered.
"Then to Earth we shall travel. I don't want a single second wasted! Ready the ship, now!" Cooler ordered.
"Yes, sire!"
Back on Earth, things were going smoothly for the Son Family-
"MAKIMA, WHERE'S THE BUTTER?!"
Well…almost smoothly.
"In the top cabinet by the stove." Makima answered her husband. She turned a page in her body, never taking her eyes off the mystery novel in her lap. But after hearing something in the kitchen shatter, the Control Devil saw it fit to ensure her loving husband doesn't break the rest of her kitchen. She placed her bookmark inside and reluctantly got up from the soft couch. "Darling-"
"I got it!" Goku tossed 20 sticks of butter inside of his bulging backpack. Surrounding his feet were several broken jars of spices. "Sorry about the spices, Makima."
"It's fine, I can always buy more." She waves it off, while using her powers to pick the mess up. "You don't need to take all of those sticks of butter with you on a camping trip."
"But what if Gohan wants them to snack on?"
"You are not going to feed our son a stick of butter as a snack."
"I did it as a kid."
"Trust me, I'm not surprised by that." Makima could feel the slight uneasiness from her husband. This was the first ever camping trip he'd ever be going on with Gohan. Years ago, the boy was too young and weak to have out in the wilderness, then he got kidnapped by Piccolo for a year, sent out to space to Namek, and waited three-years for his father to eventually come home from Yardrat. All in all, this trip was a long time coming for them. She had opted to stay out of it, so that they could have father-son time to themselves.
KNOCK!
"Hey, Goku, are you guys ready?!"
"Almost to themselves." Makima sighed. Her darling had blabbed about the camping trip to his friends after visiting Kame House, thus Krillin and Oolong were tagging along for the trip. Turning it from a father-son trip to a boys' trip.
"Just about!" Goku called out to them. He looked back up the stairs. "Gohan! Are you done packing yet?!"
"Yes, Dad!" Gohan rushed down the steps with his own large backpack on. The boy is dressed in his GI, reminiscent of his kidnapper-turned-teacher. He looked up at his mother, a bit worried. "Are you going to be okay on your own, Mom?"
She rolled her eyes but felt touched at his concern. Makima did not deserve to have such a loving son as him. "You two are going to be gone for a week, Gohan. I'll be fine." She gently ruffles his hair. "Just be sure to not pick up any bad habits from Krillin or breakfast."
"Mom, you know Oolong doesn't like it when you guys call him that."
"When have I ever cared?"
…True, but still… Gohan was trying to curb some of his mother's more…uh…ruder habits. "Well, would you like it if someone kept calling you something that made you uncomfortable?"
"Gohan, you already know the answer to that question."
The boy just let out a deep sigh, deciding to just put a pause on it for now. This was not an argument he could win and keeping it up could risk his mother canceling the camping trip. Goku pats his son on the back. "Don't think too much about all of that, son! Let's go and have some fun!"
"Right!" Gohan takes his dad's advice. "See you later, Mom!"
"Bye, Makima!" Goku waves to his wife.
"Have fun." She returns the wave, watching the two rush out of the house. Her eyes trailed down to her son's tail which had recently grown back. She had thought about cutting it off, but Goku thought it was fine to keep as long as they helped him gain control of his Great Ape form, so she left it alone.
Once the door shut, the Control Devil stood alone in her household. With her son and husband gone, now would be a great time to finally scrub the entire house down from top to bottom. With a snap of her fingers, some nice music started playing from her phone, and to change her attire into something more comfortable with rubber gloves, an apron, and several sponges attached to the belt around her waist. Then she created a giant invisible bubble to cover the house. Just to ensure that no outside interruptions could get in the way. If anyone needed anything, they could just tap the forcefield or her husband could just teleport inside.
"There. I think that'll do it." Makima wiped off her hands as she admired her work. While it had taken almost a full two days, the entire house was now spick and span. It wouldn't remain this way as soon as she let the dogs back in and her family returned, but she could admire the filth-ridden house for the time she had left. She snapped her fingers to change back into her previous black dress with a denim jacket over the top.
As much as she trusted her husband to watch over their son, she still felt it was within reason for a mother/wife to check in on her boys while they were out having fun. As she let down the forcefield she expected to sense her husband's little group enjoying their peaceful little camping trip.
Instead, she was put on high alert when she felt her husband's presence drop significantly lower than normal and her son's spike higher than what was normal for him. Krillin, Oolong, and Icarus felt normal, but she could tell there was more going on.
Makima wasted no time in blasting off from her home, prioritizing her son's safety above all else. Her husband could take care of himself, and she felt confident in that fact.
Things had gone from good-to-bad to terrible for little Son Gohan. Their camping trip didn't last the full day before getting interrupted by the arrival of Freeza's brother of all people! Who would have thought a guy like that had a sibling? Now his dad was badly injured with Krillin and Oolong keeping watch over him. Gohan had been tasked with getting the Senzu Beans from Korin's Tower without attracting any attention from the enemy's Scouters.
Unfortunately, his luck was never that good when he wanted it to be. The enemy had managed to pick up on Icarus' energy after he gave his dragon a bean to recover his strength. Now he was fighting for his life against Cooler's Squadron.
"C'mere, monkey boy!" Dore cried; his massive fist swung for the boy's head. Gohan flipped over him, using his size to his advantage. He stepped on Dore's head to use as leverage for a boost, but Neiz intercepted him with a punch to his face. Salza's leg connected with his back to knock him down. Dore reached out and grabbed the boy by his little leg to swing him around. He released Gohan, then punted the boy upwards with a mighty upper swipe.
"Gah…!" The hybrid coughed out a mix of blood and spit. He tried to get his balance, but Neiz twirled around him with a double jab to his back, then a kick that knocked him towards Salza. The French-like alien grabbed the boy by his face before creating a weak enough blast to not kill him but send Gohan flying down at his big green teammate.
Dore grabbed the boy by his head, rough coughs and wheezes leaving his mouth and nasal. The brute increased his grip, causing Gohan to cry out. "Hehe! Hey, boys, watch me pop this little chimp's head! How long do you think he'll last? Ha ha!" Dore continued increasing his grip on Gohan's cranium slowly, taking sweet sadistic glee out of the boy's suffering.
SHACKLE!
"Eh?" Dore stopped squeezing the boy's head to see a silver chain protruding from his chest. There was no wound, no blood, or pain…just a cold sensation running through his body. His teammates gapped at the sight of the chain, unsure of where it came from. Suddenly, two more chains appeared and wrapped around the necks of Salza and Neiz, damn near choking them.
"W-what is this?!" Salza grunts, trying to pry the collar off.
Gohan relaxed, relief flooding through his system when he felt the brute's grip loosen. He pulled himself free and turned to see his mother descending on the scene, three chains gripped tightly in her hands. "MOM!"
Makima kept her attention on the three that dared to commit the foulest sin in front of her eyes. "Keep your hands off my son." She increased her hold over them, especially Dore, the green brute was dangerously close to having a seizure and a stroke at the exact same time. But she wouldn't let it end that swiftly for him, that would be too merciful. "Gohan, get going."
"But how do you-"
She raised the chains.
"Right…" His mom had used them to search their memories to catch up on the situation. Gohan looked down to see Icarus was recovering from the attack. "Okay, I'm heading towards Dad!" He announced, then shot off towards Goku's location.
Makima stood in the center of the squadron. "To think Freeza would have a brother and that he would be dumb enough to attack us. However, I can't take the risk of letting him wander around this planet for any longer." She snaps her fingers. Neiz's head started contorting as if his brain was fighting to escape the confines of his head. He screamed frantically, bumps and lumps stretching through his skull and skin like a sick rash.
Dore and Salza watched in horror as parts of their teammates' brain slithered out his ears like snakes to force themselves down his throat. His eyes were crying literal blood with painfully slow unraveling of his brain. The freaky alien could taste the blood and liquids of his brain as it traveled down his throat. Makima didn't stop until every trace of his cerebrum had been shoved into his esophagus.
As used to brutal combat as they were, Salza and Dore were utterly appalled by the way their comrade was dying. Never had they seen someone be forced to watch as they consumed their own brain matter. Dore could feel bile rising in his throat, but Makima didn't let him release it, instead he was forced to swallow it back down.
Neiz's body limply hung in the air, the squadron member was beyond dead at this point. Makima made a fist, crushing the bastard's body into a tiny ball of flesh and bones. She looked at the last remaining two, noting their horrified looks. "Hm? I'm sorry, are the grown men that were about to murder a child appalled by the way their comrade died?"
She raised her finger at Salza, then swiped it, slicing off the squadron leader's left leg. Salza released a pained scream. The only reason he wasn't bleeding out immediately was because Makima didn't allow it. Instead, she forced Salza's mouth open and flicked the Neiz ball into his maw. "Eat."
Salza was forced to chew on the remains of his dead friend, feeling the flesh and bones grind and squish against his teeth. The bones had been softened enough for his teeth to break through, but that didn't make any of it easier for him. Memories of their battles and triumphs flowed through his mind like a silent movie with each bite. He didn't want to think about any of this, but the memories were being forcefully brought forth. When he swallowed Neiz's remains, he watched the Control Devil open her palm.
For the short moments he still had left to live, Dore would never forget the sight of Salza's body exploding, torn to shreds by the remains of Neiz impaling him like a growing spiked ball. Warm yellow liquid trickled down Dore's leg. A sensation that he only held towards his master bloomed within his soul.
Fear.
A sense of fear aimed at the woman that had managed to dismantle Cooler's elite Squadron within literal seconds.
Makima's head turned to look at him, a sweet smile increased the fear in his heart. "Yes, that's it. Keep fearing me, even all the way down to Hell, even after you reincarnate, never forget the fear you hold towards me.
"W-w-w-what…are you…?"
"A mother." She flicked a finger, twisting Dore's arm painfully in the wrong direction. "A wife." The bones in his leg broke through the meat and skin, protruding like sickles. "A horseman." Each one of his teeth were torn out of his mouth, then they were joined together to embed themselves up his nose, slowly digging upwards to his brain. "But most importantly…" The blade of teeth tore through his mouth and face, leaving a large blood gash in its place. Dore's eyes were forever locked onto the haunting yellow spirals that would follow him into the afterlife. "A Devil."
CRUNCH!
Dore's spine exploded out from his top and bottom, turning him into a living kebob. Then it split down the half to literally rip him in two, his organs and such spilling out of the carcass.
Makima held the remains of Cooler's armored squadron with a sickening idea forming in her mind.
"Dad! Krillin! Guys!" Gohan lands in front of the cave where they hid Goku. "I'm back with the Senzu Beans!" He crawls inside to see Oolong and Krillin watching over the injured Saiyan.
"Awesome, Gohan!"
"Yeah, thankfully my Mom showed up when she did or else we'd be in way bigger trouble." Gohan explained.
"M-Makima…?" Goku stumbles on his words slightly.
"Don't worry, Dad, we'll have you up quickly, so we can hurry and help Mom-" Before Gohan could take a single bean out, a purple beam incinerated the healing items to ash. A suffocatingly huge wave of KI rolled into the cave, shocking the heroes. Goku and the others looked out to see Cooler standing outside the entrance.
"Apologies, I just so happened to have seen the boy flying over here and figured that you could use some company. Were those important?" Cooler chuckles darkly.
"Y-you…?! How could you do that?!" Krillin cried.
"Unlike my foolish little brother I'm not going to give you the chance to recover. But if it makes you feel better, all of you will be dying together." Cooler's index illuminated a purple glow, aiming straight for Goku. Though he halted his fire when he noticed Gohan's eyes shift from black to red, the boy's anger skyrocketed.
"GET AWAY!" A strong burst of energy blew apart the entrance of the cave, forcing Cooler to jump back to avoid getting caught in it. Smoke blocked his view of the decimated cave, but the oldest son of Cold wasn't going to let that stop him. His finger was like a blur as he rained down a storm of Death Beams on his enemies. Two blurs shot out of the smoke, Krillin and Gohan were charging straight for him. It took little to no effort to deal with the little nuisances, treating them like flies.
Cooler bashed Krillin down with his tail, while he grabbed Gohan by his throat. "You have some power there for a little chimp. Unfortunately, it matters very little in the face of overwhelming strength." He lets the boy go, then smashes him back down like a volleyball, letting the kid crash harshly into the ground.
Lowering himself back down, Cooler marched towards the cave to finish off the Saiyan that defeated his brother. As he stepped inside, a fist smashed into his face, throwing him back towards the woods. "What?!"
The one responsible was a fully healed Goku, and the Earthly Saiyan was less than amused with his opponent. "That's enough, Cooler! You're no better than Freeza!"
Cooler wiped the blood from his lip, both pleased and infuriated by the sight of the liquid. "I'm not sure how you suddenly recovered from those injuries, but I hope you prove to be a better fighter than previously!" He stepped forward, raising his arms. "And for the record…"
Goku's aura exploded, the Saiyan charged forward with a punch that was blocked. Cooler pushes back with a backhand, then uppercuts Goku into the air. "...I'm far superior to my brother!" He declares before dashing towards Goku.
Oolong crawled out of the cave, staring up at the intense battle going on in the air. They were lucky that Gohan had hidden an extra bean in his clothes. The hybrid had given it to him to feed to Goku during the interval of Cooler's attack. All he could do now was pray that Goku would win. "You got this, Goku!"
The savior of the universe twirled with a kick that knocked Cooler away from the wasteland. As he soared over the forest, Cooler balanced himself out to block the oncoming rush of blows. He tilts his head, then throws a gut punch. Goku moved back quick enough to avoid the attack, then grabbed the arm. He spun around with the captive Cooler, then threw him down towards a nearby waterfall. Goku teleports behind Cooler to land a hard knee into the Cold's spine.
Suddenly, a purple appendage wrapped around Goku's throat, attempting to choke him. Goku acted quickly, pushing himself down towards the water. As they submerged, Goku felt the tail relax reflexively, allowing him to get some distance.
Cooler vanished from his sight to appear next to him with a hard punch to his face. The Cold's palm opened to release a pointblank energy blast. Goku teleports once more to avoid getting hit, confusing his opponent. He never saw the uppercut coming, throwing him out of the water and back out into the air. Goku appears above him quickly to knock him back down with a sledgehammer strike.
Goku lands on a large rock waiting in the ravine, while Cooler recovers from his fierce attacks. The brother of Freeza didn't look too bothered by his attacks, but the damage was clear. "Yes, it's becoming far more clear to me how you managed to defeat my arrogant little brother. Your strength is undeniable. However, I am far different from my brother, who allowed his own freakish talents to carry him. Unlike him I searched for greater strength and discovered a power that far outstrips his own! Another transformation!"
"What?!" Goku gasped.
"Feel privileged, you'll be the first and last to ever witness this form! HYAAAAA!" Cooler's body started to increase in size, alongside his muscle mass. His white carapace also changes, with the breast-plates shoulderpads becoming hoop-like in shape, while the white carapaces on his wrists change drastically, gaining dark-blue sections and procuring blade-like protrusions. Cooler's most distinguishing change in this form however is the change in the carapace he has on his head, which in this form completely encases his entire head except for his eyes, four spikes extend from his cranium and there is a large dark-blue section in the middle of his head.
Goku stepped back as he felt the overwhelming power of Cooler's transformation. "N-no way!"
Cooler grins evilly. "Yes…time to die!" A vizor suddenly covers his mouth, giving his voice a more metallic sound. The strongest of the Cold family lunges forward with a terrifying burst of speed. "I'LL CRUSH YOU!"
Goku acts quickly enough to avoid the initial charge, but Cooler flashes next to him with a rush similar to that of a linebacker. The Saiyan is grabbed by both arms and thrown down into the ravine with enough force to cause the entire them to upheaval. Cooler dives down to slam his fist into Goku's stomach, an explosion of blood erupting from his mouth. Getting up, Cooler grabs him by his hair, and raises him out of the water before it drops back on them. He roughly throws the Saiyan towards the cliff and follows it up with an energy blast.
Seeing the attack coming, Goku manages to teleport out of the way, appearing behind Cooler but his trick was expected. A hard backhand disorients him briefly, then a smack from Cooler's tail bashes him away.
"Kaioken x10!" An incredibly violent burst of crimson energy swirls around Goku. He dashes with blitzing speed to tackle the older brother of Freeza. The two engage in a fierce clash that saw all of Goku's strikes being blocked effortlessly. Cooler counters a punch, his own fist burying into Goku's chest. With the Saiyan stunned, he flips over Goku to kick him down towards the ground. While Goku spirals towards the ground, Cooler builds up a bit of momentum before soaring at him with dangerous intent.
Goku crashes into the rocky wall, his Kaioken vanishing after Cooler's knee smashes into him. Voiceless wheezes leave his throat, while Cooler picks him up by the throat. "Is this all the Legendary Super Saiyan can do?" He swings Goku around before slamming him into the ground, then punches him hard enough to send him barreling through the ground and back out into the waters.
Goku, shirtless, rises from the split ravine with ragged breaths. "There's no denying it…he's way stronger than Freeza."
"There was doubt?" Cooler's voice came from behind him. Goku spins around to see the larger warrior looming over him. "This battle has been nothing more than a disappointment, Super Saiyan. Just know, as soon as I kill you, this planet will be turned to ashes. The legacy of the barbaric Saiyan race will still end at the hands of the Royal Cold bloodline."
"I won't let you win! Kaioken x20!" A stronger burst of the Kaioken exploded forth. Goku cups his hands, charging up his signature move. "Ka! Me! Ha! Me!"
Cooler stood still, not even bothering to move.
"HAAAAAAA!" Goku released the massive beam point blank, tearing the sky and clouds away with the devastating move. Before the attack could even finish, Cooler's fist smashed into his face, blowing Goku into the mountain with explosive force. Goku was given no time to even recuperate as Cooler's larger foot crushed him against the rocks, the older brother increased the force with several more stomps to hammer down his defeated opponent.
"Heh! The almighty Super Saiyan defeated so easily? If my brother truly fell to someone as weak as you, then he deserved to die!" Cooler backed away from Goku's defeated body, rising into the air. "I am the superior one! The true ruler of the universe is COOLER-"
Dore suddenly stood in front of him.
"What?" Cooler blinked, confused by his subordinate's appearance.
Then Salza appeared next to him.
"What are you fools doing here?" Cooler stared at his motionless second-in-command. He turns around to see Neiz looming over him. All three of his squadron surrounded him, but there was something off, none of their eccentric energy was present. "What the hell is going on with you three?! Move away from me!"
When they grabbed him, Cooler's mood worsened. "Ignorant fools! Do you remember who your master is?!" He tried to tear them away, but for some reason they were stuck to his body like glue. Even the force of his shuddering aura couldn't remove the henchmen. "Why the hell can't I get rid of you three?!"
"They can't respond to you. They're dead." A soft yet commanding voice entered his ears. Cooler threw his attention down to Goku to see Makima gently caressing the Saiyan's cheek. "Apologies for taking so long, darling. I had to prepare something special for our guest."
"And who exactly would you be?" Cooler asked.
"Nobody important." Makima answered. "Though, I know all about you, Cooler."
"Do you, now? Then you must know that crossing me is a fate worse than death!" Cooler, regardless of his men's corpses attached to him, lunged for the woman. However, she suddenly vanished alongside the Saiyan he had just brutalized. "What?! Where did they go?!"
"What's the matter, brother? Lost sight of yourself again?"
Cooler's eyes snapped over to see his dead brother in Dore's place. "Freeza…?! But you're…"
"Dead? You'd love that wouldn't you, Cooler? To see me writhing in agony at the hands of my most hated foes? Unfortunately, I'm not as stupid as you to assume such a baffling reality!" Freeza declared, fueling his brother's anger.
"How dare you?! I should have killed you long ago! I should have buried you in the crevice of that pathetic incubator that formed you!" Cooler declared.
"My, my, Cooler, is that anyway to address your little brother?" The oldest son's fury froze as he listened to that pompous yet familiar tone. He looked to Salza's place to see his father, King Cold, chuckling behind his hand. "Even after all these years you still manage to disappoint me."
"Father, but-"
"Why can't you be more like Freeza? His natural talents and ways of leadership made him prime material to take over the empire. You, however, failed to meet my expectations time and time again. Even this paltry new form of yours is a cheap way of compensating for your lack of natural ability. Something that Freeza possesses in spades."
Cooler's body trembled, suppressed emotions that he had kept hidden for years were surfacing with each word spoken. "S-shut up…"
All three of his henchmen's corpses transformed into his father and brother repeatedly, like flesh molded clay. "Disappointment. Failure. Second best. Mistake. A letdown. Pest. Foolish. Shameful-"
"SHUT UP!" Cooler roars, his power exploding violently. Every inch of his body was screaming in fury at the representations of every single negative emotion that's ever crossed him. His fist tore the fleshly dolls of his family to ribbons, a psychotic laughter echoing from his mouth with each piece torn away.
Back in reality, Makima watched Cooler lose himself in rage. Her chain's grip was loosening on his soul, but that was a part of her plan. Just like his brother, she knew that her powers wouldn't hold him for long. The idea was never to take control, but to take advantage of the fears that lived deep in his heart. She was lucky that the fool loved to vent his frustrations about his family to his subordinates repeatedly. All she needed now was for her darling to-
"GRAAAAAAAAAH!" Cooler's final burst tore her chain to pieces before she could finish the thought. Makima vanished the pieces, clicking her tongue at how quickly his anger had pushed him through the hypnotic illusions. She braced herself for the oldest son's tackle, his larger body slammed her into the ground with a rough trail. "YOU…! YOU…!"
Makima cracked a smile. "What's wrong? See a ghost?"
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Cooler smashed his fist against her face. He didn't stop at just one, Cooler continued to turn her face into a bloody mess. "NOBODY MESSES WITH ME! NOBODY! NOT YOU! NOT THAT SAIYAN! NOT MY FATHER! AND ESPECIALLY NOT MY BROTHER!" Cooler stopped punching Makima in favor of crushing her body with his foot. "I AM THE STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE! ALL BELONGS TO ME! I AM THE ONE WHO DECIDES WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES!"
"Strongest…in the universe?" Makima coughs out. "There never will be."
His pressure on her body grew even harsher, but she didn't stop taunting him. Makima's sickening smile never left, no matter how much force he continued to apply. "You may have been born first, but you'll always be second to your brother."
"I'M SECOND TO NONE! NOBODY! NO MORE! NO MORE!" He raised his foot one final time to finally bring the woman's life to an end. However, before he could land the blow, a golden pillar of light exploded behind him. Cooler turned around to face it, shocked by the phenomenon. "What?! What even is that?!"
Behind him, he could hear Makima's coughing. "Ah, I never needed to beat you. Just distract you."
Cooler whipped around. "What the hell are you-" His words died on his lips as he stared at the bright golden figure of Son Goku, the Earthly Saiyan who had transformed into a Super Saiyan. The warrior was holding his wife in his arms, her head resting on his bare chest. "-Saying…"
"Darling just needed a little jump start, is all." Makima giggles, enjoying the warmth of her husband's aura.
Goku placed his wife down gently, then gave his full attention to Cooler. "This ends now!"
"I don't know what this transformation is, but I couldn't agree more!" Cooler lunged forward with a punch to Goku's chest, but the Saiyan didn't even budge. "What?!"
"I'll give you one last chance to leave this planet, Cooler." Goku warns.
"Leave?! You think I'll run away! I'm the mightiest in the universe! Only the weaklings run away, while the strong survive!" Cooler declared.
"Fine, then." Goku took a single step, his energy pushed violently, throwing Cooler back. "We'll play by your rules, Cooler! LET'S GO!" With a powerful burst, Goku clashes against the older brother of Freeza. His fists were like blurs as they collided with Cooler's body. Each hit was stronger than the last, much to Cooler's disbelief.
Goku blew him away with a right swing, then followed it up with a follow-up to his chest. Grabbing the horns on his head, Goku's knee smashed the white vizor to pieces, getting tiny chunks stuck in Cooler's face. Another blast of energy from Goku knocked Cooler astray.
"T-this is impossible! How is it that a Saiyan could be this strong?!" The last of the Cold family righted himself. "This is it, the power that brought my brother to his knees! You really are the Super Saiyan! HAAA!" Cooler fired off a beam at Goku, but the attack didn't even faze him. Cooler repeated the action as much as he could, hoping to see him burn to ash.
It was like a reflection of their earlier bout, but reversed. The Saiyan dashed forward and slugged Cooler hard enough to destroy the rest of the spiked helmet around his head. Goku appeared behind him, gripping his tail, and swung the brother of Freeza around like a merry-go-round. He eventually threw Cooler further into the skies.
Cooler stopped himself before he could reach space. His eyes locked onto the Super Saiyan's hardened gaze, a sense of disbelief and fear building in him. "W-why am I shaking? To think that I could feel fear towards a Saiyan of all things! No! No! I can't let it end like this!" He raised his hand, generating a sun-like ball of molten force. The Supernova roared to life with deadly heat. "DODGE THIS IF YOU WANT, SUPER SAIYAN! JUST KNOW THAT YOUR PLANET WILL BE HISTORY IF YOU DO!" Cooler brought down the Supernova on Goku.
"HYAAAAA!" Goku caught the Supernova with his hands, grunting as the attack started pushing him down towards the ground.
"HA HA HA HA! HOW IS THAT?!" Goku was mere inches from the ground, struggling to hold back the attack. It eventually crushed him into the ground, devastating the surrounding area. "WHERE'S THAT BRAVADO, SUPER SAIYAN?! I AM THE SUPREME RULER!"
"You and your family are all the same. You talk too much."
SHACKLE!
Cooler gasped at the silver chains that were protruding into his body. And for some reason, he could feel his strength decreasing with each passing second. "W-what is this?!"
Below, Makima twisted her chains. "Feeling fear around a Devil? Bad move, ruler of the universe. And considering that Freeza lost to him first, you're still second." Her accursed words burned in his ears like poison.
Suddenly, the Supernova rose above the ground. Goku managed to build up the appropriate amount of energy to push back the Supernova back at Cooler. No matter how much he wanted to move, the brother of Freeza could do nothing as the attack swallowed him whole. His screams were drowned out by the sound of Goku's energy blast barreling him and his Supernova towards the sun.
"H-how?! How could a mere Saiyan overpower me?! Why wasn't he destroyed with the rest of his race?!" That's when he started to realize something. "Wait! I remember now! No wonder his hair looked familiar!" Cooler remembered watching the feed of that Saiyan child escaping the destruction of Planet Vegeta. As his body was roasted to ash between the force of the sun and his Supernova, Cooler cursed his own hubris. "Just like my brother…my own mess came back to bite me! I let him go! No…! No…! NO!"
BOOM!
At the Son household, Makima patched up her family and Krillin, while Oolong and Icarus watched in the background. As she finished tying the bandages around her son's head, the Control Devil turned to her husband. "Sorry that your camping trip was ruined, darling, Gohan."
"It's fine, Mom." Gohan shrugged a bit.
"Yeah, we can always try again after we heal back up." Goku suggested.
"I think I'll stay out of that one. This trip was not fun." Krillin winced at his wounds. "Why is it so hard to just have a normal day?"
"I agree with Krillin. This is the last time I'm going on a camping trip with you, Goku." Oolong jokes.
Goku hums. "But what will we do if we need emergency food?"
"I'm not food!" Oolong shouts, causing his friends to laugh.
"Still, it's crazy to think Freeza had a brother." Gohan said. "Sure, he had a Dad too, but for someone as evil as him to have siblings?"
His mother stared at him.
"Oh…right." Gohan muttered, remembering his aunts. "But you're different, Mom!"
"How so?"
"Because, you're my Mom! Therefore, you're not bad!" Gohan declares, earning himself a nice little hug from his mother.
"Oh, I really don't deserve a son as good as you." Makima mutters. She then brings her husband into the hug. "Or a husband as good as you."
"I don't know. I think you deserve good things, Makima." Goku said, earning himself a kiss.
Makima didn't fully agree, but it was nice to have a family that loved and cherished you. Compared to Freeza's family, theirs was much better, and they once again proved it in the end.
Movie End
NOTE: I agree, the Son Family is way cooler (All versions of them). Anyway, this movie was more so set up for the next one, since it also deals with Cooler. Also, most of this movie didn't require me covering it.
No Fami, Piccolo, or War in this one. I considered still including Piccolo, but then it would have dragged on even longer for no reason.
Piccolo and Fami will appear in the next one.
How did Goku get triggered into Super Saiyan? Eh, he just needed time to tap into it compared to his main story counterpart. Like in the actual movie, we can assume Goku wasn't fully used to the form still.
I'm really going to enjoy this next one. It's something I've been planning out for a while now.
Next movie - Return of Cooler
