(Vegeta-POV)
He'd seen to his amusement, his father tense up at the words of Beerus, the god of Destruction now watching intently as Lord Whis conjured up some snacks for the two of them, Vegeta's eyes quickly peered back, narrowing on the flashing sights of Kron and Cooler, their bout increasingly affecting the crystal balls ability to view the two of them.
"Heh, I suppose you lot were in training while I took a quick nap; I'd used 'Hakai' quite a few times since I awoke prior to this small nap of mine, tiring me a little. But interesting… I didn't consider that there were others that I might take on as my selected team. Hmph, I will deal with that one… Cooler wasn't it Whis, forgot that Frieza even had kin other than that regal-sounding father, the waste of power in that one."
"Yes my lord, this one is the eldest-neglected brother. Named Cooler. If you want to recruit him my lord, do consider Kron will soon kill him. There is no doubt, Kron is still steadily climbing in his strength while Cooler seems to be stagnated as far as I can sense, though I am surprised… he is surely stronger than a lot of those on Earth here... A few hours to half a day and this fight will have concluded, there is no doubt. Though I am sure an hour at most for I assume Kron knows about Frieza. I can sense his approach." Kakarot replied tensely, turned to face the god of destruction and Whis.
"Frieza will be here soon enough, him and his men. He didn't learn enough the last time he came-" no one but Lord Beerus would speak over another with such finality, Kakarot was silenced as Lord Beerus chuckled, replying first with a chuckle.
"I told you all, to worry about the tournament Lord Zeno is to prepare. Now I'll approach first this Cooler if he proves himself a worthy foe against Kron here, which as I can see through your pathetic scrying tool" Beerus narrowed his gaze when the woman Vegeta knew only as a relative of that perv Roshi sneered with a bark, haughty in her gaze at him, Beerus barred his teeth right back. "Come Whis, will head to the battlefield and observe from a better position." Whis tapped his staff once, the two of them then vanishing from their previous position, to the relief of Vegeta's father, among some of the others, including Roshi; there holding a hand over his sisters mouth.
"Ah, what a relief in that." Roshi said, releasing the old crone, Vegeta heard as Kibito spoke nearby, no longer tense looking.
"I could ferry a few of you to the battle as well, though perhaps it is best not to interfere in the God of Destruction's recruitment. And Frieza is coming here with an army larger than the one that accompanied Cooler to the planet Namek. No, be best you all prepare for Frieza's approach, I will leave you now and return to lord Shin's side." he was gone as soon as he finished speaking, Vegeta didn't look at him for he watched with an irate expression that of the corrupted connection the scrying orb was under effect of, squinting at the explosive bout between the two.
'How, spending time on this sacred world of the Kai's… was- is there always going to be this gap!? No, I won't allow this!' seething.
(Kron-POV)
It was clear I was going to eventually win this, though Cooler was going to push through grit and flesh in order for me to pull out a win, a pyrrhic victory at most though a win was a win for me. Ending in his death was the finality, he tore through a boulder; a lot of rock and precious metals were beginning to float all around, some burnt hot red from the damage our Ki inflicted upon this massive rock planet that had formed.
Cooler's tail was also my goal, for surely I would gain something out of this fight as well, though for the moment he was especially careful with his usage of that limb, using it still as a primary Ki-infused instrument to attack with, Cooler and I continued on as the unstable formed rock that was our planetary battlefield; no vacuum so I'd had in use 'Aura Sphere' in order to survive space, Cooler's racial traits kept him alive in space.
"!!" our current struggle, melee in nature as both of us pushed into the other, hands squeezing hands, knees slamming either in a sharp-landing abdomen attack or blocked by the other's knees though then we both felt or well, I felt the arrival of Beerus and Whis, the two suddenly appearing nearby as Cooler's still intact scouter blipped for a moment, then the circuitry exploding.
"What the- who the heck dares interrupt my moment of struggle before I ultimately triumph- Who the- Lord Beerus!!" Cooler stammered, his mouth piece at first grating as the metallic plating distorted his voice, the mouthguard retracted to reveal his worried wince, his energy pulsing for a moment as he finally escaped my grip. He bowed for a moment, on one knee and with bent head, eyeing my with a burning hatred… though there was also a smug glance my way, the way this bastards eyes lit up at what I perceived as him thinking I was blatant in my disrespect… Ah… of course he didn't realize that I knew him-
"-Ah so you know of me then little lizard. Excellent that your fool of a father was able to teach you of knowing of your superiors, it is finally that we meet. Last I heard of you, was long before Frieza took over the Cold Empire, nothing else for your father told me you were on the fringes of his empire at the time." Cooler stood up to the feet, red hot eyes burning with fury, he replied then, holding a hand upwards and striking some kind of formidable pose, like he was about to hold a fist in front of him-
-Cooler held a fist in front of him, then speaking.
"Yes Lord Beerus, I've heard of you. Heard that a apart from you, we were also to never fight some creature named Majin Buu. Also to show you the respect you deserve. Though you know, that was half a century ago, that information might as well be obsolete." Beerus narrowed his gaze, I stood there while gaining even more power from that of my 'Legendary' mutations, for it was suicidal to fight a 'Legendary Super Saiyan', I'd say with arrogance as I am also of a sound mind, unlike that brother Broly of mine.
"Are you implying to me that the information you so thoughtful father has warned you of now no longer irreverent now that you've reached this level of power, for I am impressed certainly. You make your father look quite the weak impudent child, sure but… implying you no longer have to bow so low is quite a foolish move." Cooler didn't answer, instead eyeing me with a sneer, he turned to regard Lord Beerus once more, his power now unleashed once more and flowing around him, the rocky terrain under him now also loosing; floating up like the ground around me.
"I noticed the arrogance of my opponent here, though I am sure a monkey; the Saiyan species has never been mere footstool's of your will. Shall I put him in his place lord, then we can discuss certain business elsewhere. My brother, he's not… well, going to die soon actually. Poor boy… Once I've dealt with his last will and testament, I shall inherit the keys to the empire, or will do once I make certain Frieza's son is… gone to-"
"-I would advise you not finish the rest of your putrid thoughts Cooler. I am of the mind I would not care if you bit the dust against this one here. Instead of barking words, I want to see the extent of your strength… and his." Beerus eyed me as well at the end, Cooler looking on with a hostility that vanished swiftly after, now renewing our melee clash.
"Yeah, lets hurry this along Cooler. I've got to get back, got a lot of people waiting for me and a tournament to train for. Actual work, I considered this fight a pleasure until you started speaking once again-" he rocketed himself towards me once more, talking had ended as he begun to rage, his words replaced by silence.
Beerus and Whis hung back, off the largely formed rock, that of our battlefield and Whis even waved his staff for a moment, a bubble of energy formed around them that then vanished into a invisible force-field, keeping their position safe from debris and shock waves that reached them.
Crippling blows, Cooler and I traded at speeds that made Beerus a little mad, coming from his apparent growl, his purple miasma-like aura begun leaking, the invisible force-field shimmered sometimes. I ignored his ego, the guy is the god of Destruction and is afforded respect, while Whis trained me in using 'Ultra Instinct', the basics of which I've been slowly refining through these past battles.
Using that, I found fighting almost boring, to be able to as implied, with instinct, to be able to automatically be capable of fighting Cooler, able to defend myself on some primal level akin to seconds of seconds… crazy shit, but I used it all the same in order to better test my ability to use such a technique. Was the least refined ability I had and unlike my using my Saiyan transformations, it required dedicated training in order to reach a much refined level. Cooler was that test, much to his increased ire as I brutalized him with ease.
He made as much effort in his goal to kill me, almost desperate in his attempts to reach an end to the bout, while also occasionally eyeing Lord Beerus and Lord Whis with something akin to suspicion and… I think that was fear in those glowing red eyes or maybe he was planning on gutting them after me. As of this moment though, me and Cooler were a lot stronger then Beerus in strength, though unlike Cooler here I didn't discount his broken destructive 'Hakai' technique, for with that one word, Beerus has destroyed that powerful Moro as well as both Cells, which is disappointing to me… I'll never be able to fight them again-
-Cooler begun firing Ki-blasts again, those stray blasts that neared Lord Beerus and Lord Whis were, I'm not sure… absorbed by the shimmering forcefield when they neared, while Cooler kept up his one handed barrage, firing Ki-blasts from his eyes and the other hand launched a few 'Death Saucer' discs to track me with, the fighting came into use of flying once again as I maneuvered about, dodging his blasts was the easier part except for them 'Death Saucer' discs.
I used my tail on one of them once again, halting it with ease as expected of my invulnerably-wished tail, then afterimaging out of the way when I stopped one disc, when the other one came for my head, I went straight for Cooler, Grabbing the offending arm that fired off his Ki-blasts and bent it to an insane degree. He countered, whipping his tail around to swipe at my face, which is when he realized his mistake, my teeth biting greedily into that large tail of his as I then grabbed at it.
"Hngh!! Bastard, you d-dare bite me-" I couldn't eat it quickly enough though I did tear out a large chunk of the flesh, then flickering out of the way when one of the 'Death Saucer' discs homed in on my face, almost cutting straight through.
"...!" chewing on the piece of flesh, I swallowed it in clear view of him, then flickered back onto the rock that was formed by our fighting, his own landing came down crashing hard, his tri-pronged feet digging into the rock in anger. He bent down, his tail swishing as I smirked, him seeing me do so angered him more as he pushed off from the ground he stood, then appearing to renew our melee bout once again, basically a second of a second in real time for his speed propelled him faster, for he was getting irritated with me.
It was time to finish the rest of that tail, for I noticed I'd gotten stronger from that amount of flesh I consumed. With watching him, I went for it and tried to replicate his 'Death Saucer' disc's, creating one large silver-colored one hovering atop of my hand and I quickly threw it upwards, keeping up in melee due to 'Ultra Instinct', Cooler was through his anger starting to use everything of his power just to keep up with me.
(Beerus-POV)
The Saiyan showed off some of his races barbarism that was one of the reasons Beerus had decided on destroying the old kingdom under Vegeta III, cannibalizing a small but chunky part of Cooler's tail in clear view of him, angering Cooler while Beerus grimaced in disgust. Though…
"Hmph. You felt that Whis… Kron's strength raised quite a lot just by eating that mouthful of flesh… from Cooler's tail? Or was it eating him in general- these Saiyan's… a weird species to be sure. No wonder I'd ordered Frieza to take them out that time… But Cooler has shown great aptitude for surviving him. I am torn… he could be a great asset to use in the tournament, now knowing that Champa also has one of their race in his match.
"Hmm a corundum. I am of mind to add him to your roster, would be advantageous of you to do so. Though there is Frieza as well, both him and Cooler here first need to taste a bitter defeat, Frieza even more then this one as he seems to be acting alone. No doubt Frieza will have a considerable for with him that you can poach able fighters from as well." Beerus shook his head, very much agreeable to that idea of stealing from the so-called 'strongest of the universe' as Frieza had once dubbed himself as, prior to Cold introducing him to the brat when Frieza first came to power.
"Let Kron damage the punk for a hour longer at most. By then, I would have come to my own conclusion in this matter. But that tail… the power Kron gained from it, very interesting indeed." Whis and him were eat sushi, which as if prompted by his own words, Beerus looked down at his squid and pushed it off his bento, frowning.
"Damned, to waste my meal. Eh, Whis… take off this sort of sushi off the list. Also will push this fight to twenty minutes, I am going to get hungrier past the half hour mark.
(Tien-POV)
"You can feel that right? Half an hour at most, coming in range of my senses… the whole lot of them. Damned that is a lot of them…" Yamcha tilted his gaze upwards, the others in various states of also sensing the coming armada. While sure, there were a lot of them, the majority… a very huge majority of them were but only a few of the majority posed the threat. There was also the big one… Frieza himself, his Ki the vast beacon in that sea of others, not even hiding themselves. They were are ways off though, but now instead of watching this fight between Kron and Cooler on the static-connection that was this seer's crystal ball.
"Yeah, not even hiding their approach, didn't they learn last time when Frieza came with his smaller force? The fool has no fear it seems. Half or a small amount of us who can utilize clones will have to sweep up the riff-raff before their numbers overwhelm the people of Earth. Or are we going to intercept him now? Be the time to do so, where going all out can be done without consequences." Raven then turned, Vegeta chuckling as some of the others turned to face him, there was some tension in him though his hid it through his amusement.
"And why would I need help with the masses Frieza will employ? I've trained and trained… I've gotten to a level where I am confident that this time, even with Frieza and his transformation, or whatever else he has in the wings… I shall be enough-"
"-I think we should do this together Vegeta, the 'Potara Fusion' will offer us a better advantage then being a fool and going at Frieza, with whatever else he has hiding in the wings. We've all prepared, we're all ready to beat them back but Frieza? I remember how you're arrogant bravado almost gotten you killed by Cooler, so shouldn't we play it safe and join our energies together?" Goku made sense sure, a lot of those here also agreed with him, nodding or keeping quiet while there were a small minority… heh, Kron's allies pretty much… Cumber, Raditz, Dabura, Mira… and then those like Nouva, Oceanus, Seventeen… also Pikkon who looked all opposed to the plan, most likely wanting to contribute as well.
"We should all intercept them now, those who can survive the vacuum of space, with those to deal with his army along with his strongest forces, we go with the either Vegeta and Goku versus Frieza or Dabura… you and Mira showed great aptitude with the 'Potara Fusion' as well, perhaps you two could-" Vegeta cut off Piccolo, when Gohan then cut off Vegeta, looking angrier then Piccolo and Vegeta both, Ki bolts in static run up and down his body for a brief second or two.
"-Vegeta, it doesn't have to be you who fuses with my dad, I can easily do so if you're so sure you can take on Frieza by yourself. Go for it, keep him busy then and when he puts you in the ground, for I am certain enough that Frieza will certainly be much more a fiercer opponent then his older brother, then my dad and I will have a chance. There is also the matter here and now, if we buff up the most strongest of our fighters here and now, by transfering energy to those here and now… with Senzu beans we could rejuvinate those who given up their fighting strength to others and be all the more ready." Gohan turned to both Towa and then eyed Dende for a moment.
"Dende, how much reserve Senzu beans do you have? Pyrrha, the same question for I know Kron also has been growing them at the old Capsule Corp building that is your home. Towa, would it be smart for us to transfer power to you here and now also, so that you may use that technique of yours?"
"...Gohan, as of now and with Korin keeping on his own growth, I can get a total of thirteen beans. We've used a whole lot for the moment, Korin hasn't even finished with the latest batch; thirty plus so there will be no time to use the later amount. I'll send Mr. Popo down to secure them now." Dende finished, then eyed his attendant, Mr. Popo now standing on a magic carpet that appeared during Dende's last few words.
"And here, Kron has been cultivating these, uses clones usually. Weiss had to take lead when everyone went to Namek, she and Salem were cooperating… I'll quickly ask one of them, see how much is in reserve, how much has been grown at the moment." Pyrrha then vanished, focused look on her face, her right hand to her forehead as she used 'Instant Transmission'.
