"Well, the rice should almost be finished by now. And the stew seems to smell pretty good as well." Krillin commented, as he, Gohan, and Icarus were somewhere around in a forest as the three of them were out camping. Technically Goku was with them as well, but he was out getting some fish till he got back. "Although, we might still need more wood if we're gonna keep this fire going. Hey, Gohan. Can you get more wood for this?"

"Sure thing." Gohan nodded his head before he went to grab more wood they had.

Meanwhile, at somewhere else in the part of the forest, Goku had risen out of the water while he was holding a tuna fish that was far larger than him. "Well... You're not as big as I wanted you to be, but I guess you should be enough for sushi." he said, as he tried to wipe out the wet hair with his hand, but that didn't really do much. So he instead used his energy to get the heat to warm the wager enough to let it be dry. 'I guess this camping was a good idea after all. Seems to be enough for me and Gohan to like it enough to spend some together. And having Krillin be here would be a pretty good experience for all of us!'

He was about to get back where the others were when he felt multiple ki signatures somewhere around this place. They were definitely ones where he never sensed before, but they were pretty weak... To him anyways. Not only were they hostile, but there were two that Gohan and Krillin could not match up to. This got him worried. So he went ahead to fly towards where the others were.

He got there within a few seconds, as he purposely crashed onto the lake where the others were, making his presence known by the others. He looked at what happened. Gohan had been only picked up by his collar with a bruise shown on his face. And Krillin himself was on the ground face planted. He didn't show injuries, he only seemed to be unconscious.

"Hey! Leave them alone! Now!" Goku yelled out to them.

Cooler's henchmen turned their heads to look at him. "And who the hell are you supposed to be?" Dore asked with a grunt.

"My name is, Goku! And those people you're holding are someone I know. I suggest you leave them alone... Or else!" Goku threatened.

"Goku?" Salzar repeated to himself till he widened his eyes and made a smirk. "Ah, I see! So, you're the Saiyan that resides on this planet!"

"So, why did you come here for?"

"You were with the Saiyan that has killed Frieza were you not?!"

"Hm…? Well I hate to break it to ya, but the one you're looking for isn't here. I'm not sure when he'll come back."

Salzar frowned by this. "That so…?"

"Who even are you guys anyways?"

"We are…" Goku had a sweatdrop at the back of his head as he was stunned to see the squad posing themselves dramatically in front of him. "...Cooler's Armored Squadron!"

"Erm..." he was getting some familiar flashbacks of the Ginyu Force. "Are you sure you guys aren't related with the Ginyu Force? You have the same weird poses…"

"The Ginyu Force?!" Salzar sounded insulted. "Don't compare us to those posers! Our stances are far superior to those clowns!"

"Your poses suck either way so…"

"Kill this bastard!"

Cooler's henchmen charged towards at Goku. The Saiyan martial artist had filed in the air, as he didn't want the others to get involved in this. He kept on dodging all their attacks with simple ease. He turned to see them attacking him at different sides. Goku managed to block them all just by raising his arms and his knee before sending them all back with kiai waves. Goku shot ki blasts from three different sides, but the henchmen had deflected them all. Goku then charged at Dore at blinding speeds before he kneed him in the stomach, which caused the henchman to stumble back while groaning in pain.

Neiz went ahead to take advantage of this moment by charging at Goku's back. He raised his fist to pull a blow on the Saiyan, but instead he hit his comrade in the face which caused him to start bickering with one another. Goku had landed down on the ground, and so did the other henchmen. Before the battle could go on longer, they had frozen themselves.

"S-Sir?! We didn't expect you would help us with this!"

Goku turned around to see the energy he felt was right behind him. When he looked behind, he was shocked to see Cooler. Not because of his energy - albeit a bit - but more so because of his appearance. He would genuinely mistake him for Frieza himself if it weren't for the color swaps. Although another thing that surprised him was the man that stood next to this Cooler. He was much bigger than any of them in terms of size itself. This most likely had to be Frieza's father. 'So these are Frieza's brother and dad huh…?' Goku thought.

"Stand down, every one of you." Cooler had ordered his men. "This Saiyan seems far different than the others. If you couldn't notice, he was only toying with all of you the entire time. You would have gotten killed if I hadn't stepped in."

Goku seemed interested. "Oh? So you noticed huh. I take it that you must be related to Frieza's brother?" he said, as he had assumed his fighting stance.

"I am." Cooler confirmed as he took a step forward. "I came here to look for a Saiyan that killed my brother. Are you perhaps the one that did so?"

Goku smirked. "Sorry, but that was someone else. I'm not really the one that killed Frieza."

"And could you perhaps tell us where the Saiyan is? If you do, then we won't put a harm on you or this planet."

"And would you do either or both of those if I said that I didn't know where he is."

King Cold looked at his only remaining son. "Well it seems that this Saiyan is quite a unique case among others. I think if he doesn't provide any information what we're looking for, he might as well be killed."

"By all means, you can try. But I'm warning you, you may find that very difficult to do so."

"Hang on, dad! I'm coming for help right now!" Gohan had shouted from the sky where he was flying, which the others have clearly noticed where he was.

This had Goku be in shock right now, and concerned as well. "Gohan, no! Get out of here! You don't know what these guys are capable of!"

Goku turned around to see Cooler looking at his son with a unreadable expression on his face. He saw his eyes charging with dark purple energy that was aimed right at Gohan. "You should have taught this kid how to think before he acts." was what Cooler said before he fired his Death Beams.

Goku was about to move ahead to get in front of Gohan and deflect the beams somewhere else as he was more than fast enough to do that. But before he could start moving, he was surprised when he saw Vegeta in front and backhanded the beams instead.

"Vegeta!" Goku yelled.

Gohan was confused as to what just happened. He wanted to get words out of his mouth but Vegeta beaten him to the punch first. "Do not mistake me, brat. I didn't come to save you. But you should take your bald friend out somewhere else so at least that you don't get in the way."

Vegeta had then slowly came down with his arms folded while giving his usual glare. "Well, well, look who we have here. Another one of the people on my kill list to pile up. I was actually looking for you for some time now. I guess you already made my job go a lot faster." he insulted them.

"And who are you supposed to be?" Cooler asked.

"I'm someone who makes a living out of Frieza's entire family. And two of you bastards are whom I've been looking for a while now, saving me the much longer worth of trouble of finding you!"

"Ah, yes. I think I know you." King Cold had an amused grin on his face. "You were Frieza's favorite lap dog, Vegeta, correct? I must say, you're quite the comedian."

"Let's see you say that when I blast you straight to Hell itself!"

"Hold it!" Salzar stepped in. "You can't just talk to Lord Cooler and his father as if you're above—"

Vegeta fired an energy blast from behind that blasted all three of the minions, making them explode from the impact. "I wasn't referring to you at all." he said, without looking at all.

Cooler had clenched his fist. "You're going to pay for that. Finding minions like those is not exactly easy to find." he said, with calm anger driven by his tone.

Vegeta smirked by this. "Oh, by all means, do try. But I'm going to warn you, it won't end up so pretty for you."

'Oh man, Vegeta is really in a pissed off mood right now. I almost feel bad for who he has to kill one of them.' Goku thought. 'Although... I really wanna get to fight with at least one of them. More so on Frieza's brother. He's kinda sparking my interest.' he looked over to his rival. "Hey, Vegeta. Mind if I take on this Cooler guy a bit? I kinda wanna see what he's capable of." he asked.

Vegeta grunted. "Be my guest. But you have less than 5 minutes to finish him off before I deal the final blow."

"Alright then…" Goku's white aura surrounding him as he stared at Cooler with a grin etched into his face. "Let's get this started!"

Goku had charged straight at Cooler with his fist raised, readying to aim a blow at his head. Cooler had filed above in the air to avoid this, but Goku had already gone after him to. He was faster than he was just a second ago, and he punched Cooler right in the gut which made the tyrant's brother gasp out in pain. Goku then pulled another fist from his left hand to land a blow on Cooler's gut again, and he started hitting him in that area several times before he sent him flying with a spin kick to his neck.

Goku flies after him, with his first ready to put another punch but Cooler had grabbed his wrist in time. The Saiyan tried to pull up another punch but Cooler had grabbed that as well. "I'll give you credit, you're much stronger than I anticipated you to be! But I still can't allow you to live!" Cooler exclaimed, as he had tried to twist Goku's arms but to no avail. "Now that my brother is gone, my reputation would go down significantly if the universe knew that my brother was killed by a Saiyan!" Cooler pulled Goku with him as they were falling down before both of them crashed through water.

They pulled off from one another before they lunged at each other again. Goku put a roundhouse kick that Cooler had ducked from and countered by an uppercut at Goku's jaw. Goku moved his body away by backflipping and launched a bicycle kick that kicked Cooler's face. Cooler stumbled awkwardly but he tried to fire a ki blast at the Saiyan to which Goku had slapped it away with his bare hand. Cooler pulled another punch that aimed at Goku's head, however Goku had phased right behind and went ahead to Cooler by the tail and began to spin him around till he launched him in the air which made him come back to the surface.

Cooler had landed on a boulder, and he only watched as his enemy had done the same thing, except he only floated from the opposite where he was. "Though however... I support I should thank you as well." Cooler said.

Goku had a confused expression on his face. "Thank me? I thought you wanted revenge for Frieza?"

Cooler chuckled, holding his finger in the air. "Oh no, nothing like that. Believe it or not, this is actually nothing personal. You see, my brother is known in the universe as the most ruthless tyrant that has lived... Or used to anyways. My family and I had quite the reputation to proceed after all. And since someone has killed Frieza, my reputation is in trouble now."

"I still don't get it. If you're not here to kill for Frieza, then why not for your reputation?"

"Oh, I still am. Trust me on that. But Frieza was a brat to say the least…" Cooler had an annoyed scowl upon him. "I was actually going to get rid of him myself sooner or later. But your friend has done my work for me. This is just bussiness."

"Isn't that kinda harsh?"

"Do you even know my brother?"

"Fair enough."

"Although... It appears that I'll have to try much harder against you. There are very rare exceptions where there are opponents that can actually fight me at this form, and even more rare where I get forced to transform into a state beyond this!"

Goku looked surprised by this. "Wait, you mean you can go even further then what you have now?"

Cooler smirked. "But of course. Although this is by no means bragging, I do believe I work the most hardest out of family. Which is how I gained this new transformation!" he stated. 'Althrough the only problem is I haven't fully mastered it yet. I always lose control of myself when I go into this state. I can only at least hope that I can kill him!' he then split his legs and his hands have clenched themselves. "I'd warn you though, I can't exactly control the full powers of this form, so I may kill you a lot sooner then I want to!"

Goku smirked. "Then what are you waiting for? I can take anything you throw at me."

"You'd ask for this…" Cooler's whole body started shaking by itself while he had clenched his teeth. He then let out a primal roar as his body had started growing larger than before, with spikes coming out of his shoulders and along with ones growing onto his head from different sides and angles and so did on his elbows.

Goku merely watched in curiosity at the transformation still unfolding in front of him. The transformation looked pretty unique to see, and he's definitely gotten much bigger than he had moments ago. What interested him the most was his energy that's gotten even more powerful than he expected. 'Increnible! His energy is just as strong as Cell's!'

Cooler had now finally finished his transformation as the final touch had completed by a metal mask covering his mouth. "Now then, Saiyan… prepare to die!" he had charged right at Goku, blowing away the ground that were on the sides.

Goku only just stood there and watched as Cooler charged straight at him with his fist raised and launched at him in a diagonal fashion. Goku phased away with ease, and Cooler had missed him and punched the waters instead. Goku was in the air farther away from the waterfalls from before and watched where Cooler was previously. He felt his energy coming closer to him on his right side. Cooler flief towards the Saiyan with a flying kick that was aimed for his hip, but he had missed as Goku had backflipped without looking and lauched a bicycle kick right down at his head, launching him back down at the waters below them.

'What the— how can he still keep up?!' Cooler rose up from the waters with a look of shock plastered onto his face and had widened his red eyes. He charged back at Goku again and tried to attack him from behind, but Goku merely phased out of sight again and appeared above Cooler to knock him down at the forest by hammering him.

Cooler supported himself on the ground he was at, trying to get back up from the blow he received. He widened his eyes when he saw Goku flying down where he was at. He could barely have the time to cross his arms together when Goku had landed another punch that sent him flying in the air, and the force of it made Cooler let go of his arms in pain. He gasped when he saw the Saiyan already going towards him, and he could only watch as Goku kneed him in the stomach.

"I gotta say, you really are way more powerful than your brother was right now." Goku commented, as he saw Cooler backing off while he kneeled over in pain while both of them were in the air. "But unfortunately, you're still nowhere near the level I am right now. It'll take you a long time to do that." Cooler moved his head to look at Goku. But then to Goku's confusion, he started laughing. This had Goku look surprised. "Uhhhhh…" he stammered. 'Did I hit so hard that I knocked a few screw looses out of him?'

"Now I see... Now I know how my brother was killed by the likes of you Saiyans. I love it! You're too much!" Cooler had blasted a powerful wave of ki from his hand at Goku, who merely stood there and took the damage. Smoke had cleared away and Goku had looked up to see Cooler above where he was, except he had a Supernova charged at his finger. "Surprised, Saiyan?! I can charge my energy a lot faster than my brother can! You shouldn't have gotten so cocky! NOW DIIIIIIIIE!"

Cooler had thrown the massive Supernova with his finger, and the heated orb was heading straight at Goku who wasn't phased by this at all. "Well I guess if this is how this fight is going to end… then I'm a bit disappointed it didn't really last a bit longer." white aura surrounded his whole body as he had charged a Kamehameha as he cupped his hands together. "But it's been nice while it lasted I guess…" he then blasted the wave right against the Supernova tbag headed for him. "Haaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

The two attacks had collided with one another, and they struggled for the briefest of moments before the Kamehameha had broke through the Supernova like it was made out of thin paper. "No! NO! NOOOOOO!" Cooler looked in horror as his ultimate attack was broken like it was nothing, and the blue large wave headed straight for him. Out of last desperate result, Cooler tried to stop it with his bare hands but this remained futile as Cooler was getting pushed back till he managed to leave the atmosphere on Earth, but even then he was getting sent further into the space.

Goku was still focusing on his attack till he could no longer feel Cooler's energy. He made a sigh. "There. I sent him to the sun itself. No way is he gonna come back from that."

Vegeta had at that moment flied rifit next to Goku. "Well, I see you're done with, Cooler. It's about time as well."

"Come on, you said I had 5 minutes to finish him off. Hey, where's that other guy that was with you?" Goku asked.

"I finished him off in an instant when the fight was about to start with us."

Goku nodded. "Alright then... So, you think you could stay on Earth now?"

"I'm still not sure if I'm able to."

"I think you could actually. Technically you did save my son's life, and you did "help me" beat Frieza's family as well. I mean, I could just convince everyone to let you stay here, you know, so you can join us again like before?"

"...Fine then. I suppose this might work."

Uuuuuugh!

I'm sorry guys, I really can't anymore. I really can't come up with anything else anymore. I'm gonna be brutally frank here… I lost passion to write this story.

Go ahead, flame me all you want but that won't change anything as fo what I said. Most of you are probably bummed out by this, and I can't blame ya, I would be too.

Why did I lose passion? Honestly I kinda realized that I failed this story to its fullest potential. There were some reviews that made me realize that, and I could have done SO MUCH more than what I have now. And I couldn't come up with anything to do that. There are other stories I REALLY wanna write. I only hope you understand this.

HOWEVER

I don't want this to completely die out. I want someone to adopt this story and let them flesh out their own way of doing so, and I could help them. If you do decide do adopt this, please contact me by sending a PM to me so we can get down to business.

Once again, I apologize if I failed all of you.
