“I think it is to due to this body's unique sleep schedule.” you reply. “While it doesn't require sleep often, when it does I am down for days, even weeks at a time. None of my team have been able to wake me, no matter what they do once I sleep.”
“Are you saying that you won't be awake for the tournament against the Sixth Universe tomorrow?” King Cold asks pointedly, you shaking your head.
“No, my king. I'll be there. But, I fear that I won't be at one hundred percent.” you answer him. “And I don't dare risk trying a short nap, as there's no guarantee I'll wake up in time.”
“I see. Very well, do your best to hold out, Captain.” he says, you offering another crisp, perfect salute. You are Captain Ginyu, now after centuries of effort the owner of the most dangerous bodies in all of reality. Having bested even the likes of the Kais, toppled King Cold's former Order of galactic peacekeeping warriors and even besting King Cold's own father, the first of his kind to unlock their race's Golden form, Majin Buu was an absolute menace. And now his body is yours, his power yours to wield as you see fit. Your decades, centuries even of service to King Cold were all worth it to obtain this body and the powers it contains. For the past week you've been training here on King Cold's planet, sparring with both him and his son to prepare for the upcoming tournament. When you'd first been informed of the mission by Lord Cooler, the other members of your team had wanted to take the other spots, but were rejected.
“Only the Captain will be participating. The other slots are already taken by the Saiyans, and my brother.” Lord Cooler had told you all when giving the news. “Were it a group fight, I would have considered assigning you all the task of claiming victory. As no team in the empire is as powerful together as you all. But, with the fight being individual fights, only the Captain will be brought along. Unlike the rest of you, he is strong enough to stand one-on-one against the likes of myself, my brother or the Saiyans.”
“Lord Cooler, a question!” you'd asked, loudly coming to a salute then. He acknowledged you, so you'd continued. “In preparation for the tournament, would I be permitted to train with your lordship? My battle spacing for a fight in an enclosed space with rules is currently sub-par.”
“That was why I came to deliver the news in person.” Cooler had told you. “I talked it over with father, you shall be permitted to stay on his world for the week. Taking as much time training as needed, within that week span. When you are ready, I am to take you there to speak with him immediately.”
