Freezer Muyo! By Disgruntled Bubba Bubba's Beef 2: Yet Another Author's Note Oh my God! You're reading my next Episode! This rocks! You like me, you really like me... *sniff sniff* ROFL Alright, enough of this shit... I need to stop before someone hurts me. Welcome back! I'm happy to anounce that this Author's note will be MUCH shorter than the last one. [Insert roaring applause from the last Metallica concert here] If you REALLY want to read the cannon facts again, then click the magic back button and read them from the first fic, cause I ain't typin 'em again! A word of warning to all the purists, Azusa will loose his temper and possibly act juvinile in this episode. (Not unlike a certian purple haired child of his, AHEM, anyway) I attribute this to his youth and general inexpirence as an emporer, but dont worry, he'll become more and more like the OVA Azusa we know and love as time passes. Anyway, enjoy the Second installment of Freezer Muyo! Disclaimer: I don't own Tenchi Muyo! or Dragonball Z, but I do love them to death. I didn't invent most of the charecters in this fic, just a couple of them. I didn't ask for permission to use these series I just did, but it's all good cause I ain't makin any money off of this fic either. If the people who do own Tenchi and DBZ decide to sue me, I'll have to pay them in toenail clippings because I don't have any money, liquid assets, or drugs that they'd be interested in. Once again, reader discretion is advised due to strong language and possiblity of gore. As always, Death is the alternative to enjoying this Fanfic. ^_^ !/ Episode Two: No Need for Battle! Two Huge ships orbited the Planet Kiruu, neither of which belonged to the natives of said planet. One of the ships was a crimson steel shark, with the predatorial desire to devour the world; the other a living wooden galleon, with the nurturing desire to invite the planet to seek refuge in it's limbs. Conflict was inevitable. ########## On the Planet's surface, King Vegetta found himself standing before a hastily assembeled Planetary Council. The nervousness that had been worn on the Council Members' faces on Vegetta's previous visit was replaced with looks of abject terror. The Council Members had complete faith in the belief that none of them were likely to survive this meeting. And Vegetta loved every moment of it. The stench of fear permiated the room; he could literally smell it. Saiya-jin noses were very sensitive, especially when it came to pheremones. Vegetta inhaled deeply, savoring the thrilling aroma... envying the adreneline that must be coursing through the council's veins. He almost hoped that they would turn down the position of Territory World... that way Vegetta would get to revel in the thrill of the slaughter as he exterminated every life on Kiruu. One of the Council Members stepped up to the podium that had once been manned by the late Council Leader. The podium still stank of blood as the afternoon sun heated the room from the giant hole in the wall behind the assembly. The Councilman spoke, his voice cracking, "King Vegetta, I must say, we were surprised by your speedy return. We hadn't expected you for another..." "Stuff it frog-man," Vegetta interupted, "I got back to my ship and decided that you really don't need a full hour to decide whether you want live or die. You see, you either accept the position of Territory World, or I personally extinguish the lives of everyone on this entire planet." The Council murmered to themselves before the Councilman said, "We, the Planetary Council of Kiruu, do hereby accept the position of Territory World in the Saiya-jin Empire" Vegetta smirked, "There now, wasn't that easy." He tapped a button on his scouter before continuing, "Brolly, dispatch twenty fourth class warriors to protect our new planet, tell them to bring some communications equipment and a regeneration tank too. Instruct all Battleships in the fleet to come by this planet to pick up repair crews." As Vegetta turneed to leave, the Councilman spoke up, "Th-that's it?" Vegetta's feet lifted off the ground as he began to hover on his ki, "Yes, that's it." "But there's no paperwork, no review of lawcodes, no division of lands, no..." "Bah!" Vegetta snorted, "We Saiya-jins have no use for such trivialities. You may keep your laws and assemble as you wish, but your local government must report to and obey me." "But what if a Saiya-jin breaks one of our laws?" "Then you report him to his commanding officer," Vegetta sighed, becoming aggrivated with this silly conversation. "But what if he's not in the military?" "Baka yarou," Vegetta laughed, "There's no such thing as a civilian Saiya-jin." With that Vegetta flew out of the hole in the chamber wall. ########## "King Azusa," Yosuki spoke, "The Saiya-jin ship has began launching projectiles at Planet Kiruu." "Nani?!" Azusa questioned, his mind racing, "Show me." The holoscreen appeared showing a storm of white and green pods raining down from the underbelly of the ship. At the same time, a small crimson ship exited the stern of the Battleship and began to streak down the same path as the pods. Then just as suddenly as it started, the barrage stopped. "How many objects were launched?" Azusa queried, the worry evident in his voice. "Twenty of the spherical pods and one oblong craft were sent to the surface," Hiroe answered stoically. Azusa watched the holoscreen as several impact craters formed at the pods' landing site. "Begin a transmission to the Saiya-jin ship." "Channel open, sire," Yosuki answered. Once again, King Vegetta's image filled the holoscreen. "What do you want, Baka-sama?" Vegatta said with a hint of frustration in his voice. "I demand to know the meaning behind your assault on the Planet Kiruu! What were those objects you fired to the surface!" Azusa said, unable to keep the anger from his voice. "Baka..." Vegetta chuckled, "There was no assault. I simply sent some troops to the surface." "You DARE invade a..." "It wasn't an invasion," Vegetta said exasperated, "It was a garrison. After all, this planet is now a territory of the Saiya-jin Empire." "Impossible!" Azusa raged, "I happen to know that the Planet Kiruu is not aligned with any political organization! The greatest diplomats and researchers of the Jurian Empire garuntee that Kiruu is just perfect for me to invite into the Empire! Real kings don't rush off on diplomatis missions unprepared!" Vegetta smirked, "Well, I guess you got here a little too late then. They just aligned with me about twenty minutes ago." "What! If you think that I'm going to allow you to just come along and threaten Jurian border planets into joining you common marauders you're sadly mistaken!" "Baka yarou! I shall take whatever planets I want, and you're not one to stop me!" Vegetta yelled. "Pirate!" Azusa exploded, "I shall stop your advance on Jurai here and now! Yosuki! Hiroe! Open fire!" The holoscreen flickered off as hundreds of antenna-like cannons telescoped out of the Tree-ship's wodden hull. They glowed slightly before discharging thousands of thin electric blue streaks of energy. The barrage of cannon fire streaked across the void between the two ships, brightly lighting the space therein before colliding with the crimson Saiya-jin hull. The shark-like ship rocked under the impact of the Jurian barrage; yellow explosions laced with grey smoke erupted in a few areas, leaving black scorch marks on the durable hull. ########## "Damn it!!" Brolly roared as the bridge of the ship rocked, causing him to loose his footing. "Brolly!" Vegetta ordered, "Get yourself and your men to the deployment hatches! Helm, get us into Kiruu's upper atmosphere and prepare to deploy!" "Kuso," Brolly thought to himself as he flew out of the bridge, floating on his ki, "I told you to be carefull... I just hope we get out of this one. That's a powerfull ship firing on us." ########## Onboard the Tree-ship, Hiroe reported, "The Saiya-jin ship is showing moderate hull damage. It is exceptionally durable." "Sire," Yosuki interjected, "The Saiya-jin ship is shifting positions. They have entered Kiruu's atmosphere and stopped." "Show me," Azusa said, his brash confidence showing in his voice. When the holoscreen sprang to life, he saw the large ship ablaze in the glow of friction caused by entry into the planet's atmosphere. The glow faded as it lowed to a stop and held it's position. Shortly thereafter, a few more explosions resounded on the Saiya-jin hull as the Tree-ship repositioned itself and resumed fire. "What are they doing," Azusa thought to himself, "If they were going to flee into the atmosphere why would they stop there?" Just then three of the small hatches on the Saiya-jin ship opened. ########## Brolly and his twelve troops winced into the searing heat that radiated off the ships hull as they were swept into the atmosphere by the depressurization of the deployment hatch. There was a stark contrast between the intense heat of the ship's friction burned hull and the cold upper atmosphere; the thin air would have caused a human to asphixiate, but it provide the saiya-ins with just enough oxygen to function. They let the depressurization blast sweep them a safe distance from the ship until they all simultaneously stopped and hovered on their ki. Blue cannon fire rained down around the thirteen troops before it bit into the ships hull. Now finding themselves caught in the crossfire, the Saiya-jins nimbly dodged the electric onslaught. All of them, except for Brolly, that is. He veered into the path of an oncoming energy bolt; steadfastly fixing himself between the blast and it's intended target. His brow furrowed in concentration as the blast drew nearer and nearer. Just as it was about to strike him, Brolly roared aloud, erecting a yellow force barrier with his ki. The blast struck the barrier with an electric crackle and spent itself before Brolly lowered the sheild. He smiled a bloodthirsty smile when he judged the strength of the cannon fire. He had easily blocked the salvo with his ki, and his men were warriors of the First Class... They would have no trouble blocking the discharges, especially between the twelve of them. "Form up! Ki sheilds!" he barked at the troops as he flew several yards ahead of them. The twelve warriors spaced themselves an summoned their ki sheilds; the cannon fire fizzled against their collectively massive sheild. Brolly held his hands before him and began to concentrate, gathering ki between his now glowing appendages. ########## "What happened!!" Azusa demanded. Yosuki replied, "The Saiya-jins appear to have deployed a series of forcefeild generators." "Actually," Hiroe ammended, "They have deployed a few troops who seem to be generating the sheilds themselves." "NANI!?!? Show me!" Azusa ordered. The holoscreen flicked on once again, zooming in on the small specs generating a sheild for the Saiya-jin ship. As the image panned closer still, it became clear that it was, indeed, living, breathing, flying Saiya-jins that were inexplicably generateing a sheild strong enough to stop the Tree-ship's cannons. "Impossible..." Azusa whispered. This was impossible. He had heard the Saiya-jins' reputation being whispered among the commoners of Jurai, but he had suspected that their strength was exagerated by rumor. He was very wrong. Still, he could hardly believe the image on the holoscreen. Their obvious ability to fly was unnerving enough, but that at least was not unheard of. It was the rest that left him flabbergasted. The sheer stamina required to survive in a near-vaccume was impressive, but the most astounding thing was their ability to block the entire barrage from his ship. He could barely manifest the Lighthawk Wings, which was a rare feat indeed; but they could do this?! He silently prayed that not all Saiya-jins were this strong. "Sire," Yosuki called, "One of the Saiya-jins has begun to glow. I am detecting a great deal of energy pooling around him." Azusa saw a yellow energy flame crackling around the largest of the Saiya-jins. "Shimata..." ########## The ki flame crackled and swirled around Brolly in it's usual familiar manner. The energy of it coursed through him, stimulating every nerve in his body. The glow of the gathered ki between his hands intensified as it approached his personal maximum. He had pushed his power level to it's highest... 5,000. The ki ball in his hands reached full size, and he thrusted it foreward, roaring, "SUN CRUSHER!!!" The huge sphere of ki surged foreward and blinding speed, headed straight for the Jurian ship. Brolly's Sun Crusher technique was dreaded and respected on every planet the Saiya-jins had made themselves known. It was his most powerful signature move. Any warrior that found themselves on the recieving end of a Sun Crusher in hand to hand combat painfully met with certian death. The Sun Crusher swiftly closed in and impacted the Jurian ship. The ship rocked in the grips of an explosion that was visible from the planet's surface. Smoke billowed amongst the red glow of impact until only the smoke remained, hiding any evidence to prove or disprove the ships destruction. Several minutes passed in silent anticipation until the charred prow of the Tree-ship parted the smoke and dust. The ship, while visibly damaged, regally cruised forth from the cloud. Then it stopped momentarily, like a soldier silently regarding his foe, then came about and sped off toward Jurai. Brolly spoke into his scouter, "Shall we pursue them, Vegetta?" "No," Vegetta's voice came back in the scouter's earpiece, "He managed to thoroughly damage our engines. We'll need to land the ship for repairs. It's time for the frogs to earn their keep." ########## "The forcefeild is sucessfully closed the hull breech," Yosuki reported. "Good," Azusa mourned, "How big is the hole?" "The opening in the hull is roughly circular with a diameter around two meters," Hiroe stated. "My scans show that the Saiya-jin ship is not pursuing, Sire. Shall I take us to the nearest spaceport for repairs?" "No," Azusa demanded firmly, "Take us straight to Jurai; contact the Council, as well. I want them assembled upon my arrival. These Saiya-jin pirates will pay for this grevious offense." ########## Months passed without major event for Jurai and the Saiya-jins. Azusa spent most of that time on Jurai, brooding. He unendingly dwelt on his defeat at the hands of the Saiya-jins. He had never lost a battle, or many other contests for that matter, to anyone... except his father. His father was a extrordinarilly strong person. Azusa's father was a excelent strategist and a masterful fighter. Plus, he knew just how to push Azusa's buttons and make him fly off the handle. Quite like Vegetta did. Azusa found that thought exceptionally disturbing. Why did he think of such a thing? What could possibly posses him to compair that monkey-tailed ruffian to his father? Was it the confidense that they both carried themselves with? Perhaps it was the way they ignored the traditional titles of royalty when they opposed him. Azusa could clearly remember his father's quips. It wasn't that they were viscious or exceptionally mocking... It was just that they were spoken in such a bitingly casual manner. Azusa had always clung to the rules harder than his siblings, embracing tradition with even less question than most Jurians. They were his pillar of strength, but his father was always so bloody casual in training. The only tradition he didn't abandon when they sparred was the Jurian fighting style. Maybe it was the Saiya-jin King's casualness and rejection of proper tradition that had unnerved Azusa. Maybe that's what caused him to lose his concentration and, accordingly, the battle. Or was he just being careless? Azusa flopped into the opulent chair in his sitting chamber, massaging his temples. His head hurt from thinking on it. Of course, the two hours he just spent arguing with the Commerce Commision didn't help. "Why did it happen?" Azusa questioned himself. "Why did what happen, Sire?" Hiroe responded. Azusa weakly smiled as he looked up at the Gaurdian, lifting his head from his hands. He took in the sight of his life long companion. The tall, cylindrical wooden demi-being stood in silence waiting for an answer. The familiarity of the large, blue engraving in his surface was slightly comforting to Azusa. "Nevermind, Hiroe, I simply have a headache." "I'm sorry, Sire. Shall I call a medic for you?" "No, no," Azusa chuckled, "The meeting of the Commerce Council was just a little... frustrating." "I see," Hiroe stated, rotating his side toward the King, "I imagine that I would have a headache as well if I had a head." Azusa smiled and resumed stroking his temples, "I think I just need a little time alone." "As you wish, Sire," Hiroe said before floating out of the chamber. Azusa's thoughts strayed back to the time directly after his battle with the Saiya-jin. He remembered zealously addressing the council of his people, ready to lead the military off in a grand war against the malicious Saiya-jin threat. He remembered every word of his speech. He remembered how every word flowed from his heart, reinforcing his wounded pride. He would have his revenge for this transgretion. Unfortunantly the Council didn't see it his way. They studied the damage done to his ship with the single blast one of the Saiya-jins had fired, and dwelt on the fact that the Saiya-jin warriors could block the fire of Azusa's Tree-ship. They had decided that if a mere thirteen Saiya-jins could inflict that kind of damage, then it would be more prudent to learn more about the menace before facing them in combat. And thus, a handfull of Jurai's most skilled knights, with the help of the fledgeling Galaxy Police organization, had begun it's observation of the Saiya-jin Empire. The first reports to come in were mere statistics: the number of affiliated worlds, number of soldiers, fleet sizes, estimated rate of Imperial growth and the like. Simple, cold facts. Blood chillingly cold. As more facts came in, the more reluctant the council became when it came to declaring open hostilities. It was extremely frustrating to put aside his personal desires for the good of the Empire, but it was necessary. Tradition dictated it. That's what he kept repeating in his head. But lately, those words carried less and less weight. "Sire," Yosuki's voice cut through his reverie, "Lady Misaki is here to see you." "Thank you, Yosuki," Misaki bubbled, smiling, "You may leave us now." Yosuki replied, "I'm sorry, Lady Misaki, but since my counterpart is no longer present I must stay with the Emporer unless he orders me otherwise." Misaki's cheery countenance suddenly shifted into a viscous, almost predatory scowl. Her eyes became blank and angled; her mouth turned down into a disapproving frown... it almost looked as if she would grow fangs. She fixed this cold stare unswervingly on the log-like Gaurdian. A giant blue sweat drop slid down Yosuki's cylindrical back. Azusa quickly spoke up, "It's alright, Yosuki, do as she says." Misaki smiled as the Gaurdian floated out of the chamber, and cocked her head to the side with a slight giggle. "It is good to see you again, Lady Misaki," Azusa said, a little distantly, "How have you been?" Misaki fixed Azusa with a scowl even more viscious than the one she had used on the Gaurdian. She stared, not speaking, until he noticed the silence and turned to meet her tempestuous gaze. A look of surprise and concern lept onto Azusa's face, "Ermm, Lady Misaki... to request such flagrant and public displays affection is..." Still scowling, she slowly spoke, "But we are alone... and betrothed." "But Lady Misaki, it's not proper for..." Her scowl became more feral and her left eyebrow began to twitch, "Is a simple hug that difficult?" "Errmm..." Azusa stuttered, then added, almost questioningly, "I have a headache?" Azusa remembered the first time that Misaki had told him what she expected of her future husband. It was some two hundred years ago, when they were barely adolescsnts. It was hard to believe that she clinged to those romantic school girl notions. It was completely improper for her to expect him to run and embrace her spouting off avouchments of love whenever he saw her. Emotional outbursts such as that were strictly taboo, especially in the royal court. As the Emporer, he had to be level in emotion as to set a good example for his people. Upon Azusa's pronouncement of malady, Misaki's countenance immediatly shifted to one of doe-eyed sympathy. Misaki's mood swings were unmatched in the known, non-blonde universe. "You poor dear!" Misaki crooned sympathetically, "I'm sorry I was so hard on you. Let me give you a shoulder rub and make it better!" Azusa breathed to object, but before the words could come, Misaki had plopped him into a chair and began to deftly massage his weary shoulders. Her strong yet ladylike fingers worked his tense muscle as she cried, "Ooooh, it was so selfish of me to think only of myself that way. I should have known you were ill to not want to embrace your betrothed." A sweat drop ran down Azusa's face, nervously. "I should have remembered that you were under stress from the Saiya-jin situation," She continued from her own little world, not noticing the sudden surge of tenseness in his muscles, "You know, if you're really that tense maybe you should take a little vacation... I heard of this new peaceful little planet that our scouts found not too far from Jurai's border. It's really quaint, but one of the planet's tribes speaks a language remarkably similar to Jurian..." Azusa's face brightened, "Misaki that's it!" He bolted up from his chair excited, "You're right, Lady Misaki. I do need a vacation. I will go to this planet and clear my mind... think of some way to crush those Saiya-jins. And I can just tell the council that I'm investigating the planet!" Misaki's face filled with joy, "I'm so happy! You're actually going to take me on a romantic vacation!" Azusa face-faulted. ########## Well there it is, Part two. How'd ya like it? As usual, feedback and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome. Send it to celtic_wolfman_42@yahoo.com Watch out for my next epp, No Need for Plot Development. It should, hopefuly, be the last backstory episode. If it is then we'll get on to all the charecters we know and love... like Ryoko, and Vegetta. (And to help out all the Tenchi fans who aren't DBZ fans, YES, there is more than one Vegetta) Next Ep! Brolly will discover a planet-shattering new power that will change the history of the Universe. Azusa's vacation to Earth will turn up a startling surprise for Jurai... He comes back with a wife! That's right! Don't miss the debut of Lady Funaho and (hopefully, keep your fingers crossed) Yosho! If everything goes as planned, then we'll even see a little bit of the dread Kagato and the Universe's most feared hermaphrodyte, Freezer! (And to all the DBZ fans that aren't Tenchi fans, and don't know that 'Freezer Muyo' means 'No need for Freezer', YES, I do DESPISE Freezer) BTW: I hope you all enjoyed the little mention of the Galaxy Police in this Epp. I hadn't planned to bring them in this early, but I thought it added some flavor. Unfortunantly, the GP won't be back for a few more fics now, but I'm gonna go ahead and take a poll while we're on the subject. As you remember from my first Author's Note, this ficseries takes place in the OVA continuity; however, I was thinking of violating the continuity a little. In case you haven't guessed this rambling IS going somewhere... straight to one person in fact. That person is Kiyone. Now I like Kiyone. She's a good charecter and a perfect, yet tragic, foil for Mihoshi. The problem is, Kiyone isn't in the OVA, so it's up to all you Kiyone fans out there to email me and convince me to put her in the series. Bear in mind that this is the very FIRST time I've cared what other people thought, and that's a hard thing for me to do; ergo, I'm gonna need a lot of convincing. There it is Kiyone fans, convince me! Hop to it! Quit wasting time! LMAO
