Chapter 28 - 25: Main Story Quest II (I) (1/2)
A few meters away from Nao, he saw a lifeless body before him, as a stench of blood wafted through the air. The nearby Saiyans could only grief in their hearts at the moment as if they dared to move from their current spot, they feared that King Cold might do something to them as well. However at this time Nao heard a sound in his head that he hadn't heard for a while. He wanted to shake it off to continue staring at at King Cold, but it appeared this time it kept sounding off in his head, and the last time this happened was when his father was still alive, mentioning Hatchiyack four years ago.
*Ding! Main Story Quest II has been triggered. As this quest is separated into multiple parts, host may review it at any point until all parts are completed. Rewards will be given out sequentially.*
Nao knew now was not the time to have a full look at the quest that was given before him because if he distracted himself at all right now, King Cold could possibly make a move on him, considering he currently has interest in him and Miya. What he saw next further shocked him, as he saw King Cold approach King Vegeta II. Nao knew King Vegeta II had already passed away, but King Cold picked up his lifeless body at the head, and he raised his right palm in front of King Vegeta II. Soon, dark purple energy gathered in his palm, which caused Nao to shiver nearby, as he could feel dense energy radiating from King Cold's palm. A few seconds later it blasted out striking King Vegeta II's dead body. As he was already dead there was no resistance, and soon his body started to crumble apart within the energy, before it disappeared altogether. Smoke arose as the energy struck the body and once the smoke vanished, the nearby Saiyans didn't see King Vegeta II's body anymore. Seeing their own King vanish right before their very eyes caused anger to appear within them. Some couldn't handle it anymore and lashed out at King Cold.
”Bastard, our King was already dead! There was nothing else His Majesty could've done to you!”
”How could you destroy his body like that! How else can we report to His Highness now?”
”Screw this, we don't need to join them. Let's attack!”
The elite guards, including Oliver, Gin, Fynn and Parsi, started to get riled up. However at this time King Cold calmly walked to Nao and Miya and addressed the rising clamor.
”Listen well you Saiyans. Your King wanted to die so I gave him a swift death. You could even count that as my blessing. I could have brought him aboard my ship to torture him instead but in the end I decided to give him a swift death. With this you Saiyans are now part of the Cold Force. I will leave in a few moments as we have prior engagements and I will dispatch some troops here so they can station themselves later. You all will be able to report to these troops and obtain missions as well. But before I go, you two still haven't introduced yourselves. It's remarkable to have two young Saiyans already having a battle power of 75,000. Or is it that you two want to die as well?”
Nao noticed that King Cold was right in front of his face now, and the difference between the two was quite big. Nao was still only about three feet tall and King Cold appeared to be a 12 foot giant. He was quite taller than King Vegeta II and he had the power to back him up, unlike King Vegeta II. He was still staring blankly at him despite his overbearing presence but after Nao gnashed his teeth together, he resolved himself and introduced him and Miya to King Cold.
”Your Imperial Majesty...This one is called Nao. My little sister is called Miya. It's our pleasure to meet you, Your Imperial Majesty...”
After hearing this, a grin appeared on King Cold's face after hearing the small child with white hair speak for the first time. It sounded much more intelligent than the other Saiyans around him, which pleased him greatly. To test the waters a bit, he decided to restrict his battle power down to around 200,000 and let out a small wave of his killing intent on the two. All of a sudden, Nao and Miya felt a giant pressure land upon them, causing them to cough violently. Nao even dropped onto one knee and felt as if he were tied in a giant rope, unable to move at all. He and Miya tried to resist the oncoming pressure but unlike King Vegeta II's pressure they felt a few years back, this one was a lot worse. Nao and Miya started to revolve their Ki within their bodies, which soon let out a pale white and fiery red aura. During King Cold's conquest, he had seen all types of auras and the likes that he saw in front of him right now wasn't anything new, but he soon started to feel a bit chilly and hot at the same time. He then saw small embers dance around the girl and frost appear on the ground around the boy, and upon looking more closely he saw small dark purple streaks of lightning intertwined within Nao's white aura. Before long, Nao and Miya managed to unbind their ropes, and stood up again albeit panting heavily.
”The Ki you two have is marvelous. It is even starting to effect the area around your bodies, which proves you two have developed excellent Ki control. You two are welcome to come aboard anytime, and if you do you will receive further battle training with the Ginyu Force.”
”We thank you for your generous praise, Your Imperial Majesty...We will keep that in mind. As we are now part of Your Imperial Majesty's army, we will wait for our next orders once your troops have been dispatched.”
”Excellent.”
King Cold's grin remained on his face and he then released his killing intent. He immediately turned around and fluttered his cape, walking back to the ship's staircase. He then stopped walking only to look down at the small yellow alien who was current standing by with a pillow resting above his two palms.
”Kikono, inform Squad Two to gear up and for Squad One to return with me. We have another engagement to settle. The Ginyu Force can decide whether they want to stay, as they will probably be interested in the two Saiyan kids.”
Kikono was prepared this time at receiving His Imperial Majesty's order, and he bowed, giving his consent. After informing the two squads of the order he received, he then made his way over to the Ginyu Force, who were still in their poses all this while. Each member of the Ginyu Force were in a heated discussion after feeling the power of the two children that felt similar to their own. They saw Kikono approach them, and after he received King Cold's order, they went into another heated discussion. In the end, Nao and Miya saw Kikono leave with Captain Ginyu, Guldo and Recoome in tow and Burter and Jeice remained behind. King Cold then headed inside the ship and the twelve beings that donned their mysterious masks vanished from their spots. Kikono followed shortly after them. Nao saw King Cold's ship close its hatch and it then started to glow, before it stretched out and disappeared back into space. The numerous smaller disk-like sh.i.p.s followed suit and vanished from the planet. The only aliens that remained behind were Jeice and Burter.
