Destroying the Red Ribbon Army: Chapter One
There it was, the planet near Namek that his sons described: Earth. King Cold, or Emperor Cold if one was being formal, looked over the planet. Finally, he could attack whatever this Red Ribbon Army was, take his grand daughter back, and get Frieza’s mental state back to normal. He noted that the Earth was mostly a bright blue, which he thought was nice. Cold went to sit in his captain’s chair as the ship began entering the atmosphere.
The emperor also wondered if he could meet this ‘Super Saiyan from Earth’ that Frieza described so much as well while he was there, but he would have to see how long this campaign/rescue mission took. The ship landed in a big flat field covered in green. When Cold stepped off the ship, he noted how the blades of the green stuff poked his feet gently.
“Emperor, I feel a few ki signals coming. They seem to want to fight.” a scout said looking up at him for orders
“How is this possible? Did this Red Ribbon Army know we were coming?” Cold asked the socut, crossing his arms and holding his confidence firm.
“No, I don’t think it’s that. There’s not enough of them for it to be an army.” the scout replied
“Then wait, let’s see what these Earthlings want.” Cold ordered.
The Earthlings landed in front of him. There were five of them, no, four, one of them was a Namekian. There was one who had three eyes, one with a scar across his face, a small white Earthling wearing a hat, and another smaller one with a flat face. The scout was correct, they were definitely prepared for a fight.
“You think coming here in your second form is going to intimidate us, Frieza?” the one with the flat face asked.
“You mistake me for someone else,” Cold replied, “Frieza is my youngest son. I am his father, King Cold. Unless you Earthlings are a part of the Red Ribbon Army I did not come here to fight you.”
“Wait, you said the Red Ribbon Army?” the three eyed one asked, seemingly surprised about his intentions.
“Damnit you two, what did you do to traumatize these people?” Cold thought to himself before answering the question. “Yes, you see, this Red Ribbon Army has my grandchild, however, since both of my sons have proven that they could not be trusted to not… Let their emotions control their actions. I have taken the liberty of taking over the search. With the intelligence we have, we have discovered it was the Red Ribbon Army that took the crown princess. What you see here is a campaign to destroy the Red Ribbon Army and return my grand daughter home.”
“Wait, you’re going to try and destroy the Red Ribbon Army?” the one witht he scar asked, now the Earthlings seemed very confused.
“Well he’s welcome to try,” The Namekian said.
“Listen,” the one with the flat face started “We’re supposed to be training for an android invasion that’s going to happen in about three years. If you’re going to try and invade Earth, at least be upfront about and don’t try to trick Earth’s strongest into throwing themselves in front of the Red Ribbon Army.”
Cold sighed, he was really was going to have to interrogate his sons about their actions when he got back. “Listen, I know my sons have done stupid things before, but that is the exception for them, not the rule. I am telling the truth about my campaign. If you’re not going to help you can stay out of the way.”
“Wait, we actually have a common enemy,” The three eyed one interjected, “If you have a plan to destroy the Red Ribbon Army then we want to help. You see, the Red Ribbon Army are the guys making the andriods we’re training to fight. Unfortunately, Goku and Vegeta, the Sayians on our team, are busy training elsewhere. However we are available to lend our strength if you’re willing to let us help you.”
“Dude! Are you crazy!?” the scarred one shouted, “You can’t be sure you can trust this guy!”
“Actually, if this really is an opportunity to get rid of the Red Ribbon Army once and for all, I’m actually all for it. Besides, if he betrays us we can just defeat him anyways.” The flat faced one said.
“At least if we can’t completely get rid of them, we’ll be able to weaken them before the invasion.” The Namekian said.
“So, um,” the child like one finally piped up. “Who are you anyways?”
“Like I said earlier,” King Cold answered, “I am King Cold, Frieza and Coller’s father.”
“We should probably introduce ourselves. I’m Krillin,” he pointed to the Namekian “That’s Piccolo,” he pointed to the three eyed one “That’s Tien” the pointed to the one with the scar “That’s Yamcha” and finally, he pointed to the child like one “and that’s Chiaotzu.”
These Earthlings got friendly quick. Well this did work out in his favor, as he didn’t have to fight an unnecessary fight. “Why don’t the five of you come on to my ship, and you can tell me what you know?” Cold turned his back to them and proceeded to reboard his ship after gesturing at the Earthlings to follow him.
The Earthlings were definitely hesitant to follow him at first, but they followed him inside anyways. King Cold definitely was different from Frieza and Cooler. It definitely felt like he had authority; he was also a lot more levelheaded and overall calm than the other two, though that might just be his age. They wondered about the scenario he was talking about. Was one of those brutes really a father? Was the king telling the truth at all? They would have to play along to find out. At least he was smarter than his sons.
At least he didn’t decide to kill anyone right away too, that was a plus.
