“Indeed. Just yesterday, his lingering affliction was lifted. Centuries of illness lifted in a second. And now, he's rather eager to test out his restored strength.” Cooler tells you. “So he requested I bring you to him, ready for a fight. If you were ready for such a contest, that is.”
“Oh, I'm ready.” you say, then reach out to Meloka telepathically. “Hey hun, I'll be heading out for a bit.”
“You're really going to chase after her?” Meloka asks, you sensing something unpleasant from her. “Really?”
“No, this is something unrelated.” you reply, then quickly fill her in. “So I'll be back in a bit.
“Good luck.” she replies, then adds. “He's been alive for centuries hun. Be careful, there's no telling what he can do.”
“I will.” you answer her, ending the mental link and meeting Cooler's gaze. “Let's go.”
“Hold on tight.” Cooler replies, right hand going to his forehead as he holds his left out towards you. Hesitating for only a second you reluctantly take his offered hand, then the world changes around you. One instant you are in your gravity chamber, the next find yourself standing before a rather imposing throne. And sitting upon it is a figure built similarly to Cooler and Freeza's fourth forms is the oldest living member of their race, the imposing King Cold. Cooler immediately kneels down, speaking up. “I have brought him, as you requested father.”
“Thank you, Cooler. You may go.” he replies, Cooler not even raising up as he vanishes. No doubt returning to wherever his ship was. “Thank you for coming, Karn. We have much to discuss. But first, there is something I must see.”
Then from behind King Cold a massive, hulking figure suddenly appears. Radiating the same sort of energy as that mist around Cooler, Caulifla's Triumph, and Koruza's Dark Rider. Looks like King Cold has acquired his own Stand as well. This could be interesting.
“Under Pressure.” King Cold says, the titanic being behind him slamming its fists together. And as soon as they touch, the gravity increases exponentially. Even in your Ascended Berserker form, you're forced down to a knee almost-instantly. “Now. Show me what you can <span class="mu-i">really</span> do.”
