House of Vegeta
pt.27: Frieza Looms


Frieza's changeling race, the _Udani,_ rarely put stock in introspection. As a rule Udani lived by their actions, not being concerned with consequences. However Frieza was anything but ordinary, even among his own kind. A rare conference with his elder sibling Cooler proceeded undisturbed in the bowels of his starship.

"So, little brother. Are you prepared for an all out assault?"

Frieza looped his tail around an ottoman, lazily sipping a drink. "Of course. My blue raiders will be in this sector within the month."

Cooler thought a moment. "Hmm...how many ships in their deploy?"

Frieza laughed mirthlessly, dark lips gleaming. "Nearly a thousand! Those monkeys are doomed as we speak."

Cooler lifted an eyebrow. "Perhaps...are they all equipped with subnuclear warheads?"

"Certainly. A fraction of the fleet is more than capable of wiping out Saiya."

The elder Udani steepled his fingers. "Frieza, I'm a bit concerned that you're utilizing so many of your best ships. Won't that leave you dangerously depleted in the galaxy corridors?"

"That's where you come in, dear brother. I thought perhaps you could assist by flanking those corridors-"

Cooler held up a hand. "You know the problems I've had recently!"

"If you're referring to those rim skirmishes with the Aldunn and Rugge, I know..."

"How can I defend my own sector if I'm spreading myself thin flanking your fleets?!"

"War is as much strategy as numbers, brother. Give the monkeys too many targets to hit, and they will fall in disarray."

Cooler nearly laughed, pouring himself a drink now. "Who are you trying to convince? Saiyans live for blood and warfare, and they fight to the death."

"Bah! They still die like any being. Stubborn and stupid, they'll go to slaughter!"

"This war has been escalating for years. The monkeys are too difficult to control."

Frieza nodded in agreement. "They pose the greatest threat of any race to our rulership of this galaxy. Our race is nearly decimated, Cooler. I'll be too glad to return the favor!"

Cooler leaned back on a small couch. "If only mother could see you now. Certainly she'd be proud."

"I don't expect this conflict to last long."

Cooler's voice held a hint of warning. "It better not. Even our resources wouldn't last in a protracted battle crossing years."

"Years? You exaggerate-"

"Hardly, or you wouldn't be committing so much firepower to eliminating a bunch of apes."

Frieza sniffed. "I have positioned spy satellites on every asteriod within 50 parsecs of Saiya. My raiders have already taken out a few of their shadow ships."

Cooler swished his drink. "Since they refuse to serve us any longer, their usefulness is at an end."

Frieza yawned. "You worry too much, brother. The brainless cretins are extinct as we speak."

The elder Udani thought a moment, brows furrowing. "Not to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but aren't you forgetting a key point here?"

"Excuse me?"

Cooler tapped the edge of his goblet. "The legend of super saiyans..."

"Again with that! Superstition and folklore, brother. Nothing more."

"Are you certain? My reviewers have archived the saiyan race...such occurances have existed in the past."

"Bah. So a monkey here and there made good...they're all dead now. Besides, saiyans are forever chasing that holy grail. There's been no so called 'super saiyan' for five thousand years!!"

Cooler shook his head. "Still, some information is out that a super saiyan currently lives. If so..."

Frieza was sullen. "I've heard the rumors. What evidence, Cooler? I have no patience with supposition and wild talk."

"Overconfidence clouds your judgement."

"Caution stifles yours."

A smirk of purple lips. "I'm in a gentle mood today, Frieza. In any case, should there be such a being it could jeapordize our goal."

Frieza rolled his eyes. "How so? The plan is in place, and ships are prepared. You doubt my ability to wage a war with chimps?"

"Chimps with no fear, and power to spare. Don't you see? They don't fear death. All we need is a super chimp to inspire them...they'll fight like fiends!!"

"Saiyans never need inspiration to fight. But you may have a point there."

"Hai, the king monkey is recently returned from a spy mission...our agents were unsuccessful in their attempt."

"The apes have hyper senses. I could have told you such methods are useless, Cooler. I've had more dealings with them!"

The elder Uldani leaned back, staring at the ceiling. "A pity. Had we killed Vegeta, their morale would have been crushed. An all out invasion-"

"We'd have corpses and a decimated fleet. They'd declare _Uesadde."_

"What the hell is 'Uesadde?'"

"A blood war. It essentially means kill or die until nothing is left."

"Those apes are insane!!"

"True...all the more reason to destroy them first. Transformed, their power increases thousandfold each."

"You mean that oozaru state. I've seen it, unfortunately."

Frieza stood and paced. "In all my years, I've never known such a contentious and difficult race. They cannot be tamed or subjugated. Thus, they must die."

"Tell me your plan."

"You know some of it from the war sessions held last month on Cartura. Nuclear warheads will be placed at certain locations, both in nearby orbit and on planet. The key will be getting operatives close enough to do the damage."

"Hmm. Good. Since this will mean minimal involvement from the larger fleet, we need not commit too much in live resources."

"No, that's to be avoided. It would take too many years to rebuild an empire without soldiers. I plan to have surgically altered spies infiltrate the planet."

"Clever!"

"A clean kill, brother."

Cooler clinked goblets in a toast. "I salute you, Frieza."
