(General P.O.V)
Zod's eyes widened when one minute he was fighting the strange man who had abducted him and the next he was watching the planet from outerspace! Blood dripped from his forehead to cover his eyes. He touched his face and his fingers shook in anger. How dare he? Zod was the general of the Kryptonian army! He would not be treated like this!
A soldier, warrior, created for the sole purpose of excellence in the martial practice. Krypton's sword through the throats of her enemies and it's ultimate defender! He had never suffered such humiliation before. Not even Kalel had brought him to such heights of anger. (All because of a finger flick.)
Zod felt the shining rays of the sun, unfiltered by the planet's ozone layer hit his body and heal the minor injury. His mind cleared of the disorientation caused by the concussion and he stopped to think. His anger burned hot but one of the things he had learned as a general, was that rage without a direction is more harming to oneself.
He knew that his opponent was much much stronger than him but what Zod had in spades was his tactical knowledge and experience. So he had to find a way to beat him. He turned his front to the sun and stared at it. Yes that was going to work. The sun. Source of a Kryptonian's massive strength.
He knew that it would probably kill him if he took in more than his body could hold but Zod didn't have a purpose anymore. His planet was gone. His people, gone. His revenge, gone. Taken from him by one man. Zod's new purpose was to make sure that that man would suffer. Whatever it takes.
He flew right into the sun and plunged inside.
(10 minutes later)
Zod's body broke through the atmosphere in a flaming yellow ball. His whole body was saturated with solar energy to the point that his undersuit burned to ashes. His whole skin gave off a golden glow. Body pulsing with so much energy! He could feel his senses grow to encompass everything. His strength was immeasurable by now!
"I will end you, bastard!"
He shouted and the sound came out like a hurricane. A blast of wind drove every cloud away, to reveal a god. Zod's body shone with light as he spotted his opponent. He screamed in effort as he poured as much power as he could into an attack. A large beam of golden light easily the size of a skyscraper in width, escaped his body and shot off towards Valiant and Omniman.
One of them, the older man dressed in white and red escaped at his fastest speed as he felt the power and energy coming off of the thing. The other one, younger by a lot and dressed in a blue and black costume smiled. A platform of thick ki appeared below his feet and he stabilized himself.
He breathed out and pushed his right leg behind. His right hand followed it, the palm closing into a fist. His left leg bent slightly and his left hand came to a stop infront of his face. The beam beared down at him and his whole vision was occupied by light, light and more light.
"One puuuuuunccccchhhhh!"
He shouted and his fist exploded out in a quick but heavy motion. Boom.
Everything disappeared.
(Frieza's ship)
A small blue alien frantically ran through the hallways of Frieza's ship while breathing heavily. He stepped before the door to the throne and composed himself. It wouldn't do for Frieza to see him so unsettled.
He then nodded to the guards who opened the door and the small alien gulped before entering. He kept his steps fast yet not too much. Coming closer to the tyrant, the alien bowed on the floor in absolute deference.
"Speak up. What is it?"
Frieza said, his hand playing with a few grapes, a servant was holding up in a tray by his side.
"My Lord, there's been a…an incident in one of the nearby solar systems under us."
The alien said.
Frieza's cold gaze fell onto him and the alien quickly bowed his head while shivering in fear.
"So? Why disturb me with such… nonsense? Are you telling me that my soldiers can't handle it? Do you think so lowly of me that you would deign to bring such paltry things before me?"
"No no no, your eminence. I meant no such thing. It's just that the scouter on the ship picked up on multiple huge power levels. The one we could accurately read was 10,000,000 at the start then…then it went up. Dramatically."
Frieza's eyes showed a glint at the small alien's words.
"Oh. Set a course to that Solar system. Maybe this will reduce my boredom."
He instructed and the small alien rose up to leave.
"Who said you could go?"
Frieza asked it.
"I'm sorry Lord Frieza. Forgive my impudence."
The small alien quickly knelt and placed it's forehead on the ground. In its head it was constantly wondering why it even chose to join the Frieza Force.
A small chuckle sounded from the tiny tyrant. Frieza loved terrorizing other creatures. It didn't matter if the creature in question was his own soldier. It amused him.
"Very well. You may leave."
The small alien never looked back.
Frieza tapped his throne.
"A 10 million power level huh?"
Despite Frieza's intelligence, his pride made him forget the last part of the information given. That, would ultimately become his undoing long before he even met the Super Saiyan.
(Brian's P.O.V)
"Ok. I'll be the first to admit that I didn't think that through."
I muttered in the open space. Chunks of rock floated about and others started revolving around the sun. Huge debris from the planet we had been fighting on had crashed onto the two moons that were revolving around it, reducing them both to space rocks.
Two unconscious bodies were behind me covered by my ki. Omniman's suit was tattered and burnt in many places. He had injuries and I think one of his hands was shattered. The bone was sticking out.
All for One had fared much better but that was mostly because of whatever regeneration quirk he had. I had also been considerate enough to preserve some oxygen for him inside the ki bubble before things went to shit.
Ok. I don't know how to say this but...turns out, I can...aah...burst planets apart with the shockwaves of my punch. I wasn't even at full power! Maybe a generous 5%? Yeah that must be right. So that happened...
Moving on. Zod was now missing the lower portion of his body. The remaining upper part broke apart into flakes of ashen skin. His eyes stared at me with something akin to traumatized awe as he disappeared into nothing. Oh look at that, ash doesn't freeze in space. Wonder why?
My mind kept on joking, mostly as a means of coping with what I had found out about myself. I was familiar with the concept of strength. Power wasn't something new to me. Ever since I had been reborn into the Spiderman universe, my destiny was to always become a BAMF.
The incident that had just occurred was a testament to the fact that I had done it. I was a badass. But even with all that badassness, Asuma had managed to dominate our fight. I can't even call it a fight. I had just destroyed a FUCKING PLANET from the shockwaves of my punch and I was still NOT powerful enough to defeat him.
Beating down on Omniman, Zod and All for One was meant to make me feel good but floating in space like that, them beaten so badly...I realized something. I was still pitifully weak. Not in terms of physical strength or Ki or any of that tangible strength.
My will was weak. I had gotten so used to outsmarting everyone and defeating all of them that, I hadn't met any challenges along the way except for the Goblin. My will was weak because I had actually met that challenge, instead of bouncing back faster, I had been angry, afraid and cowardly. The whole showdown was a way to prove to myself that I was strong by beating down on those weaker than me.
The funny part, is I had even known what I was doing was just bullying. In short I was disappointed with myself.
I hadn't had it hard. Not even once. But now...there was someone who was much more powerful than me. Who could and had made things difficult for me. A challenge greater than any...to surpass my limits and forge my weak will into something harder than Uru and instead of that my first reaction had been to throw a tantrum.
But I had learned. There were bigger fish out there and the only way to achieve what I wanted...was to become strong enough that no one could make me scared of losing what I had once I found it.
It was on baby. It was on! I spread my hands out as a flame sparked inside my heart. My eyes opened wide in deranged excitement. No one makes me feel this way! No fucking One! Everything I got I struggled for! Worked my way up from a glass canon to a fucking god!
"I'm coming for you Fucker! You hear me! I'm coming for you, Asuma!"
"Good, I'm waiting."
Asuma's voice said inside my head but this time, there wasn't any fear left in me. Just a fierce determination to beat him and everyone else. This was now more than just about Natasha.
A ship dropped out of warp Infront of me, cutting off my thoughts. I looked at the build and it stirred up some of my old memories. Isn't that... Frieza's ship? The fuck is he doing here? I looked around. Oh yeah...I blew up a planet that belongs to him. He must have heard the news and now he's here to see for himself.
A gigantic smile split my face. Is this Christmas? Just before I thought of going to find him he comes to me by his own volition?Good things do happen to good people!
A beam of light from the ship hit me and I allowed the teleporter to do it's work. I left the two supervillains I had on me to float a little more in space. Beam me up Scotty! The first thing I saw was blasters. A lot of blasters were aimed at me from different types of aliens. Frieza took the whole diverse thing pretty serious it seems. The one thing they had in common however, was the Frieza battle suits they all wore.
One particular alien with green hair and human like features stepped forward. He had a blue cape hanging from the shoulder pauldrons of the battlesuit and blue high socks that covered his legs from the thighs down to the boots. I think his name was, Zando? Nah Xarbra? Not even close. Oh yeah, Zarbon.
Zarbon stepped closer to me with an arrogant sneer on his face that didn't linger for long. His face changed as he found it hard to breathe. Usually I kept my energy tightly concealed but for those with even elementary ki sensing skills, get too close to me and my energy field came bearing down on them.
Zarbon groaned as he went down on one knee. The other aliens stepped back in fear at the scene.
"Stop probing me you idiot. Shut your ki sense down."
I told him.
"I...I can't."
He ground out painfully. I rolled my eyes.
"I can tell that this is going to be annoying so I'll go kill Frieza and be done with it."
"What!"
A lot of aliens within earshot heard my words and opened fire. Their blasters did nothing to me and I rose up in the air surveying them all.
"For the atrocities you have committed under the employ of Frieza, you shall all die. I apologize for the innocents among you. Your deaths will not be in vain. Frieza's tyranny will end. That I guarantee!"
My eyes glowed and I mowed them all down. The once packed room, looked devastated. Different types of blood coated the walls of the room. I turned my back and flew through the walls, following the biggest power level in the ship. The metal gave way to me easily like a sheet of paper before I finally landed in the throne room, shocking everyone present at my sudden entrance.
My gaze went past everyone to stare at him.
The diminutive figure sitting inside the strange throne, did not look like a tyrant at first glance. We stared at each other before I walked to the side and poured myself a drink from the table on the far left of the room. The servants stumbled out of my way.
I gently swirled the red drink in the wine glass and took a sip.
"Yuck. That's disgusting."
'when did I become so arrogant.' I wondered. Maybe I was still frustrated about the whole Asuma thing. I had a feeling it would take sometime before I went back to the old me.
My thoughts were cut off by full blown laughter from my 'Un-willing Host.'
"Oh...You just signed your death warrant, monkey."
Frieza smiled but his eyes were filled with rahe at my insulting actions.
My eyebrows rose up and I replied,
"In just a few minutes... you'll get to see just how wrong you are. Right after I get a taste of these grapes."
I added as an afterthought.
