An immense shadowy figure stared aimlessly out into the depths of space from the quarters of his majestic fortress-like spaceship, anxiously waiting on some news. He stood over eight feet tall, with an exceptionally brawny physique. His tail, thick and long was stretched out by his feet, which each sported three toes. The outline of his head vaguely resembled a white head gear of some sort that protected his purple face. The entire top part of his head was a dark, but shiny shade of green that could easily pass off as a tint of black. But his most notable features were the two long horns that stemmed out from the sides of his head, and his sinister looking eyes.
"Your excellency, we're just about finished." a soft raspy voice called from behind.
"Hm? Already doctor?" the large figure responded as he turned around and looked down at the small green anthropomorphic lizard that had come to deliver the message.
"W-why yes sire.." replied the lizard with a hint of fear in his voice. "But his injuries were quite grave.. and he was practically at death's door. But thanks to our medical advancements we were able to fully restore him."
"I must say, I'm quite impressed." said the colossal being. "But that kind of credit goes to my son.." he added with an evil tone of annoyance. "My son Frieza, the great son of King Cold.. I wouldn't have expected less!" he eagerly concluded as his voice echoed with pride and his face lit up with a malicious grin.
"Why of course.. but even so, we're quite fortunate that we were able to bring him back after the mutilation he was forced to endure." said the lizard.
King Cold stared straight ahead with a blank but fearsome look in his eyes upon hearing this.
"Oh really? Well I guess that means you can retire early doctor." he said as sparks of red light glimmered in his eyes.
Within a second, the poor lizard was turned into a pile of ashes.
"Spare me the elaboration on the gory details.. It's bad enough that he got himself in such a mess in the first place." King Cold remarked as he angrily clenched his fist.
After he caught wind of his son's defeat, he had searched endlessly through the depths of space seeking an answer until he finally found him helplessly floating around the debris of an exploded planet with nothing but his upper body left. There were less than a handful of individuals in the whole universe who could actually put his son in the condition that he was in, and he knew full well that the two that came to mind were not the ones responsible for committing this heinous crime.
As the most illustrious clan in the universe, both he and his son were feared throughout the galaxies. Those who stepped up and opposed their tyranny were killed relentlessly.
That said, even he knew now was not the time to angrily mope around. He walked out of his quarters and into the long hallways of his spaceship until he reached a lab-like room that had a long desk of control panels and computers. Above the gadgets was a large glass window that separated the room from the treatment room. He looked through the sheet of glass and into the treatment room, where he saw his son Frieza stretched out on a metal table.
With over half his petite pearl white body and face fixated together with bits and pieces of metal and random remnants of other technological junk, he slowly sat up and looked at his father.
Cold smiled in excitement as he couldn't wait to play catch up with his beloved offspring. Frieza, however, had more pressing matters to attend to than a mere family reunion.
"Set a course for Earth father." Frieza quietly demanded. "The Super Saiyan must die." he added as he angrily clenched his teeth.
"Yes, I understand that you have some unfinished business, but we should discuss these matters in a more appropriate setting." replied Cold. "I shall meet you in my quarters soon." he added as he left the lab.
After returning to his quarters the large tyrant sat on his immense throne-like chair and rested both his arms on their respective armrests and calmly stared straight ahead as if he was locked in deep thought. A moment later, he used his left index finger to press one of the many buttons located just a few inches below the armrest to activate an intercom. "Bawri, set a course for the nearest Planet Cold at once!" he ordered.
"Yes my king!" replied a deep scratchy voice.
"Upon our arrival, I want you to order our chefs there to prepare a table with our finest wine." Cold asserted.
"Oh, and best they don't forget that Fromage stuff that Frieza seems to cherish so dearly." he added in a slightly threatening tone, as he disconnected the intercom.
With at least a few hundred planets that were forcefully seized and put under his name, King Cold often had the luxury of stopping by any one of them and having his every need catered to.
A few minutes later, the enormous tyrant was finally greeted by his son, who aggressively barged in without even knocking. "Why the hell are we headed to that blasted clod of dirt?!?!" Frieza asked in a rude but bratty voice.
"Ha. ha.. ha... because my son, we have much to discuss." said Cold with a sophisticated chuckle under his breath as he stood up from his chair.
"Besides, is that how you greet your father that you haven't seen in years?" he asked as he looked down and gave his son an adoring smile. "Revenge will be within grasp, but for tonight, we shall feast."
"What?!" Frieza squawked in surprise as he looked up at his ginormous father, who practically doubled him in height.
"I understand that you're quite frustrated, but we will ensure that our opposition is crushed... That I promise you." he concluded as he looked away from his son and evilly squinted his eyes.
About an hour later, a minion rushed into Cold's quarters to notify him that they've arrived at their destination.
"Your highness, we're within minutes of landing."
"Outstanding." replied Cold while he blankly looked out the window with his arms behind his back.
After the ship firmly anchored itself onto the ground, both father and son stepped out and examined the place like any royalty would upon setting foot in a place of commoners. They were surrounded by a rough terrain, with very few plants or trees, if any. The housing situation on the planet seemed quite poor as the majority of the buildings appeared old and run-down. The locals, who inhabited the planet were anthropomorphic wolves geared in the same generic armor worn by thousands of others who were employed by King Cold's galactic forces.
"Ha.. I see father still has that nasty habit of collecting dirt balls." Frieza thought to himself with a quick chuckle. "Why did you drag us here any way?" he asked as he glanced sideways at his father.
"Right this way son." Cold gestured as he lifted his right hand towards a distant palace.
"Hmph, whatever." said Frieza with a sickened look as he took flight alongside his father.
Cold carefully studied the environment from above. "Hmm.. I thought I specifically ordered these bumbling idiots to take better care of the damn place." he thought to himself.
After flying for a minute or two, the two tyrants looked down below after hearing a distant voice.
"It's the king!! Open the gates right away!!" the voice yelled.
Upon reaching the entrance to the palace, both father and son dropped down from the sky, and headed through the opening. On the other side of the gate, they found themselves in a large empty room with tacky decorations all over the wall. Straight ahead were several brown wooden doors, that each varied in size.
One of the doors suddenly opened, and out came a tall, lanky, gray anthropomorphic wolf. "Greetings sire." said the wolf with a serious look on his face as he humbly bowed down on one knee. "Everything has been prepared as you had requested."
"Excellent." Cold sternly answered. "Direct us to the banquet hall at once."
"Yes, sire." said the dog as he stood up and led them through the same door he had come out of. On the other side of that door was a long and seemingly endless hallway.
With an expression of disgust on his face, Frieza reluctantly followed his father. "The sooner we get off this poor excuse of a world, the sooner I get to kill that filthy Saiyan trash." he angrily mumbled to himself as he continued walking until they finally stopped at another door.
"Here we are sire, our banquet hall." said the wolf as he held the door open for his superiors.
Unlike the rest of the planet, the banquet hall was very glamorously decorated. Furthermore, the diverse assortment of gourmet food was clearly a work of art crafted by the hands of a true culinary master.
Frieza glazed around the immense table and carefully eyed each tasty morsel. There was a unique variety of fruits piled on a silver platter, loaves of bread mounted together, and numerous meat-based dishes. But the thing that caught his eye the most was the fancy bottle of wine that was placed next to a small plate of Fromage; a tasty snack that he had fallen in love with over the years.
"Quite the feast you had these fools prepare here eh father?" he asked in a more cheerful manner as one of the wolves walked over to his side and pulled a chair out for him.
"Heh, I knew you would be pleased." replied Cold as he too took his seat. "Now, what say you tell me all about this Super Saiyan you were mumbling about earlier." he proposed as he picked up the glass of wine and swirled the palatable red drink around in its glass.
Immediately after hearing his father's request, Frieza suddenly frowned with displeasure. Within seconds, a pink aura surrounded his body, and the table began to tremble, while plates fell and shattered on the floor. "S-s-ayian.. M-monkey.." he mumbled as his aura grew brighter and the shaking increased. Indeed it had been too much to swallow. He, the emperor of evil, had to beg for mercy after taking the beating of his life. It was absolutely mind-boggling and infuriating at the same time. What made it all the more unacceptable was the fact that it was at the hands of a Saiyan. A dirty ape. An inferior creature that belonged to the same damn race that had for decades, secretly instilled fear into him. "Damn it all!!!!!!" he screamed as he stood up from his chair and surrounded himself in a bright flash of purple light.
"Settle down Frieza! this is no time for a childish tantrum!" Cold fiercely ordered as he gave his son a piercing look.
Surprisingly enough, Frieza obeyed his father's orders and calmed down. "Very well father, I shall fill you in." he said as he sat down and brought himself back to his senses. After the traumatic string of events that had taken place, he really had to think back and recollect all the details. As he began pondering where he would begin, he bit into a piece of Fromage and quickly chased the bitter taste with a sip of wine. It was quite delicious, just as he had remembered.
After taking another moment to indulge in some of the luscious delicacies, he began filling his father in on the horrific turn of events that had taken place. All the way from his hunt for the Dragon Balls taking him to that miserable Planet Namek, to his encounter with that detestable Super Saiyan.
Cold put on a scowl in disgust as he took a sip of his wine. He too was quite infuriated that a Saiyan was the one to have disgraced his family name. "Well, I must say" he said as he slightly tilted his head downwards and swirled his wine around some more. "I truly empathize you my son." he added as he stopped swirling the drink and brought the glass to his mouth. "So how do you plan on proceeding from here?"
"It's simple, we set a course for that pitiful dump Earth that he calls home..." said Frieza right before taking a large gulp. "and slaughter him in cold blood." he concluded with a malevolent expression on his face.
"Cheers to that my son." Cold said as he held out his wine glass.
"Not yet father" said Frieza as his vile grin transitioned into a frown. "Not until I've successfully exacted my revenge." he added with a tone of seriousness.
"I presume you plan on blowing up the planet?" Cold asked curiously.
"No.. I plan on showing up personally and torturing every one of his filthy allies and subjecting him to the misery of finding their corpses lying around." Frieza said with a sinister look in his eyes as he angled his glass of wine towards his face.
"Foolish as ever... I see this whole ordeal has taught you nothing." said Cold as he squinted his eyes in disappointment. "Without a day of training under your belt, you think you've suddenly amassed the power to defeat the same foe who put you in that miserable condition?"
"And with a Saiyan I might add.."
"Do you honestly believe that those pathetic pieces of metal granted you the kind of power necessitated to exact your revenge against a creature who practically gains power with each battle?" he added.
"I refuse to invest my blood sweat and tears into fighting an ape!" Frieza yelled in anger as he downed the last bit of wine left in his glass. "Why the hell should I, Frieza, have to go above and beyond to do something as simple as taking out the trash?!"
"I see your point, then do the smart thing and blow the planet up from space." Cold suggested as he watched one of the wolves refilling his son's empty glass with a generous amount of wine.
"And deny myself the opportunity to entertain myself?" Frieza asked as he reached for his newly filled glass. "No... this monkey deserves special treatment" he said as he swirled his wine. "I want to see that fear of death in his eyes." he concluded with a spine-chilling voice.
"I understand.. after all, you are my son, and our bloodline demands that we conquer, rule, and yes torture." said Cold. "But there's really no benefit in giving into your pride and risking everything you've spent your entire existence acquiring."
"That said, I understand your need to vent..." he said as he smugly glared at one of the wolves standing around. "Hm these pathetic scoundrels couldn't even follow a simple order and keep the place clean." he added as he drew his glass close to his face. "So how about it son.. the pleasures all yours."
"Hahahaha... oh father, you're too much." said Frieza as he barely held in his menacing laughter. "But, I'm glad we're finally on the same page for once.." he playfully joked. "Besides, I was growing quite tired of your stupid collection of dirt."
"I suppose there's nothing wrong with testing my new powers hm?."
"That's right." acknowledged Cold with a quick nod.
"Well then.. shall we get started?" asked Frieza as he turned his head at a group of wolves that were guarding the entrance with fearful eyes. "heh heh heh" he chuckled as he vanished into thin air. Within seconds, he appeared right in front of one of the helpless creatures, and speared his hand right through his heart.
Angered, one of the other wolves threw a punch in Frieza's direction. Without even a subtle hint of concern, the tyrant dodged and retaliated by wrapping his metallic tail around the canine's neck. He formed a wicked grin as he slowly suffocated his victim to death. When he saw another grunt running towards him, he decided it was time to show these fools just who they were dealing with. He turned his head towards his unsuspecting foe and allowed him to land a direct hit right in the center of his face. Unsurprisingly, the punch inflicted zero damage, and the attacker ended up with nothing more than a severely broken hand.
"Now what say we even them out." said Frieza with a vile tone of sarcasm as he swiftly grabbed the wolf's other hand and crushed every bone with a simple grasp. Overwhelmed by unbearable pain, the wolf fell to his knees and howled helplessly. "W-why.." he asked as he looked up and made eye contact with the tyrant.
Without even bothering to answer, Frieza stuck his hand out an inch away from the wolf's face, and whispered "Die." as he blasted his head off.
"ha ha ha..quite satisfying indeed." Frieza joked as he tossed the decapitated corpse onto the floor.
"And quite entertaining." said Cold with a sarcastic snicker. "Now shall we head out for the grand finale?" he chortled as he faced the exit.
"Yes." said Frieza as he smiled.
With a quick blink of his eye he created a devastating explosion that reduced the entire palace into a pile of rubble.
The two tyrants stood around in what was left of the palace, and watched the inhabitants of the planet furiously rushing towards them from afar.
"The king has betrayed us!.. We must defend our home!" yelled a voice, as hundreds of wolf creatures charged at Frieza and his father.
"he he he.." Frieza chuckled as both he and his father nonchalantly took off into the air. "Now... let the glorious onslaught of chaos commence!!!" he viciously yelled right before rushing into the crowd of warriors with his blinding speed. With a debilitating blow, he mercilessly slaughtered his way through the planet's last line of defense, until there was not a soul left.
"Phenomenal performance my son." Cold applauded. "Let's head back to the ship and enjoy the fireworks shall we?"
"You read my mind father." Frieza chuckled as the two headed for the ship.
Once they launched high enough into space, Cold ordered one of his lackeys to open the roof hatch for his son.
Floating about twenty feet above his father's spaceship, Frieza put on a baleful look on his half metallic face and began gathering an accumulation of black energy spotted with red sparks at the tip of his index finger. Once the ball of energy was about the size of the spaceship, he pointed his finger forward and launched it straight at the planet.
He joyfully watched the black orb eat it's way through the planet's core as he smiled from ear to ear. Indeed, it was quite a breathtaking moment. Something about watching a home to millions just moments before being reduced to a giant ember that was about to crumble into nothing more than mere fragments of rocks brought forth satisfaction.
When the planet explosively met its catastrophic end, his eyes widened and he burst into a bout of uncontrollable laughter. The bright glow that emanated from the explosion complemented his diabolical expression in such a way that truly revealed his deeply seeded hunger for destruction. As the sparks and other debris of the planet flew around his face, he was reminded of that day. The day that he nearly drove all those miserable Saiyans to extinction with nothing more than a flick of his finger. He recalled the event along with the ecstatic sensation of joy that was accompanied with it quite vividly. The happiness that was brought forth from effortlessly torching a planet full of rebellious apes was something he didn't mind reliving again. It was a genuine feeling that, he, as the emperor of evil seldom felt. It was great, and he missed it.
What was the point of wasting precious time and energy getting into a brawl with a filthy monkey anyway? The end result would entail the same outcome; a dead Saiyan. Besides, the thought of him writhing in agony as he suffocates in the vacuum of space or his flesh being ripped off of his bones from the explosion itself weren't exactly offers he could easily pass up on.
Shortly after the explosion cleared, he engaged himself in deep thought, and headed back down to the ship.
"See my son, wasn't that beautiful?" asked Cold as his son dropped back into the ship through the roof hatch. "You must appreciate the sheer beauty of an explosion like that."
"So why not drop your foolish obsessions and get this little mess taken care of?" he added as he opened his arms out to the side. "Besides, I'd hate to find myself short an heir to my throne."
"You know father, you're absolutely right." said Frieza
"As a matter of fact, I'm leaning towards going with your plan after all."
"There's really no sense in getting into another fist fight with such an insignificant creature." he concluded in a conceited manner.
"Ah I see, so I was able to talk some sense into you after all." said Cold. "But let's make sure our beloved hero is home before you go mindlessly torching it." he went on as he walked over to the intercom on his chair. "Captain!" he bellowed after opening the line. "I have a special assignment for you."
"What is it sire?" a coarse voice responded.
"I need you to track down that detestable Saiyan." Cold ordered. "Send one of our bots and comb through Planet Earth until you've located him."
"It shouldn't be a difficult task. The highest power reading you get on that pathetic excuse of a planet will no doubt be him." he continued with a tone of disgust as he was clenched his teeth. "I don't expect there to be any other worthy fighters among such a feeble species" Cold thought to himself. "Besides, I refuse to believe that there are others out there who could stand up to my son the way he did."
"Right away." replied the voice.
"Ah Goku.. it's unfortunate you and I will not be able to meet face to face again." said Frieza with a feigned tone of disappointment. "But taking a front row seat here in the comfort of my father's ship and watching your body being incinerated into a pile of ashes should satiate my obsession to kill you."
A few minutes later, a minion came frantically rushing into Cold's quarters. "Your majesty!" a he called as the door opened. "We've located a huge power.. It's quite immense. It's gotta be him!.."
"Frieza, to the control room!" yelled Cold as he left his quarters.
After reaching the control room, both Frieza and his father stared at the screen in bewilderment. It was an image of Goku training on top of the mountains in his Super Saiyan form.
"M-monkey..." Frieza mumbled in disgust as he tried hard to mask his fear.
"So this is a Super Saiyan.." said Cold with a feigned tone of amusement.
"Truly an incredible force.. Why he's even more powerful than Lord Frieza.." muttered the minion. Before he could get another word out, he saw Frieza looking straight at him
"I applaud your ability to speedily find a needle in a hay stack, but do not bore me with the details." said Frieza as he promptly impaled him with a small beam of energy from his index finger. "But alas, this just further reinforces my decision to save myself the trouble and blow him away into space."
"It's time." he said with a look of delight sparkling in his face. "Father, please meet me out on the rooftop with some of that delicious wine. Heheheh"
With that, he flew out through the roof hatch in the control room and glared at his adversary's home. "My my.. what a resourceful looking little world. it could have been put to such good use had it not harbored so many filthy insects." said Frieza as he began to form a grin. "In any case, the decor around this sector of the universe is about to undergo a major makeover." he cackled as he began creating an orange lava-looking orb of energy at the tip of his index finger. "I'll put you away the same way I did your other home world Saiyan." he said as the flaming sphere expanded in size exponentially.
"A feeble creature such as yourself should never have challenged my might! Now you and your precious world will pay the ultimate price!!!!" he screamed as he chucked the massive fire ball straight at Earth. "Hahahaha!"
Watching the ball of death fall closer and closer to its destination and realizing that he was only seconds away from exacting his revenge was truly an awe-inspiring combination.
As the planet's core began to crack with streaks of bright orange, his father approached him from behind and handed him a glass of wine.
"To my vengeance." said Frieza with a sinister expression of malevolence as he lifted up his glass.
Right when the two glasses clanked, a massive explosion consumed Planet Earth along with its greatest hero. Vengeance was at last served.
