>>5469842As Freeza and Zeno stare each other down, you start walking away from the Zoldyck clan, walking along the edge of the rooftop back towards King Cold and the others. You're not worried standing by the assassins, but as you were watching the two fighters a question had come to mind. One you want to ask of King Cold directly, since you've had time to think. So you walk around the raging battle, Freeza's power forcing Zeno onto the defensive as the emperor relentlessly presses his attack. As you reach the first 'neutral' corner Freeza's pressed Zeno to the edge of the platform by the other Zoldycks. You watch both the fight and the rest of the Zoldyck clan over your shoulder as you quickly step over to King Cold, Cooler, and Arctus,
“Good work, General.” King Cold addresses you without turning his gaze from the fight, Freeza forcing him off the roof and back towards another tower. The wizened assassin keeps his defenses tight, blocking and deflecting every one of Freeza's strikes despite the apparent power gap. “That should have them abide by the rules, once Freeza wins this little scrap.”
“Speaking of, is it just me or is Freeza's powerlevel stronger than it was before?” you ask, turning to stand beside him while watching the fight unfold.
“Perceptive. Yes, I've been...retraining my son from the ground up.” King Cold tells you as Zeno suddenly vanishes, Freeza swinging through the afterimage left behind. His fist nearly strikes the wall that had been at the old assassin's back, but he pulls his fist short. Instead firing off a powerful shock wave that shatters the tower, launching bricks and other materials flying.
But as it explodes, suddenly Freeza is surrounded! Dozens of Zeno are hovering around him now, the afterimages all shimmering slightly as Freeza brings his hand to his chin, pondering. But right as he does, your instincts again scream out at you in warning, something's got a target locked squarely on your back! Immediately you trust in your Energy Body, and rocket yourself backwards at full speed. Before what or who ever is behind you can react, you crash bodily into them. You hear a man's voice grunt from the impact, stopping your momentum and spinning around to see.....Nothing. There's no one there. Yet again your instincts warn you of danger, then suddenly dozens of what appear to be coins appear in the air for several feet in front of you.
