As Whis continued to train Goku and Vegeta, Akasma was seen sitting on the sidelines. She couldn't believe how graceful he was, easily avoiding their attacks and being able to even sign their shirts in midst of their spar. Faint blushes adorned her cheeks, she was sitting on a rock, with her elbows on her knees and her jaw in her palms. She could not take her eyes off of him, he was so mesmerizing when he moved and she loved it.
Meanwhile, on the ship from before, Eglantina was still squatting down to that short grown male's height with her violet knife out. "Play with me, hehehehehe!~" she playfully muttered and got close to his face, her forehead now touching his. The short male was actually trembling, he didn't know who was worse... Frieza's presence or hers?! "Go ahead, I'll even give you a head start.~ You run and I'll count!" she added with giggles escaping her masked lips. Frieza narrowed his eyes and kept staring at her pink features.
"And, who...are you?" he questioned, his red irises gazing into hers when she looked over with her glowing red Aeronan eyes. Seeing her stand up straight, she skipped on over to him and leaned over. A finger was placed against her covered lips and narrowed her eyes, faint flushes painted her cheeks all the while.
"Xairo kos jita o-ta-me...~" she whispered, giggled, soon stood to her full height then turned around and pulled out her crossbow gun. KAAAAALVEEEEEEI!" she yelled in a cooing tone, formed a violet bolt in her slot, and was about to shoot. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!~" she pulled the trigger, shot the poison bolt out at the short grown male, and almost hit him... She purposely missed, trying to scare him so he'd run, though he only stood there in shock and fear. Her gun lowered and her head tilted to one side, shutting her eyes right after. As happy as could be, she skipped over to him and hummed a nearly inaudible tune. "I will have fuuuun, so much fuuuuuun, oh how fun it will be...to hear you screeeam, to beg me to leave you be!~" She sang as she made her way out the door and was about to leave out of sight when she turned to face them all once again. "I will be waiting to play...~" As if on cue, the shadows engulfed her features and her creepy red irises glowed brightly, right through them.
They were all about to say something when she suddenly vanished and left everyone there in fear. Except for the short male known as Frieza, he was glaring at her with no amusement on his features. All the unconscious men finally began to wake up, they all looked around and groaned. Small mutters of their questions about her, filled the air. They all went silent after they saw the look on Frieza's face, so they stood there waiting for something to happen.
The said horned male darted his red irises all over the room to view each soldier. The short male from before was trying to look for the right words until he finally found them. Putting his hands together, he acted nervously and smiled. "Aaahh... Welcome back Lord Frieza, it's great to see you!" A quick bow came from him and the very thought of nearly getting killed, made him sweat.
"Uuuuh...? And who're you...?" he asked, clearly not amused by his antics.
"Well, my name's Sarbei, my Lord. I was apart of your support staff before the third Stella region," He explained, making Frieza plant a hand on his hip and hum in thought.
"Oh...? Yes, your squashed little faces are vaguely familiar," Frieza stated his thoughts with hardly any care in his voice.
"Actually, I've been serving as the commander of your forces my Lord! Just in your absence of course," he mentioned, causing the Lord to scrunch up his nose and narrow his eyes even more.
"You've been in charge...?" he questioned then hmphed at that and smiled with his hand covering his mouth. He laughed at the thought of him being in charge, thinking of how absurd it was for him to do such a thing. Soon, his expression grew serious, he looked over at the window to his right, marched on over with his hands behind his back, and looked down at his hand in thought. He clenched it several times to test out its movement. "I pined for flesh and bone for so long, I can hardly believe its true..." Not once did his gaze break from his hand and hidden thoughts swarmed his mind.
Over, came Sarbei with a smile on his face. "That's right my Lord! We've brought you back with the Dragon Balls and our new regeneration technology," he said, only for the Lordship to question his words.
"Dragon balls, you say? Oh right, those funny little orbs from that miserable planet Namek." his voice held anger as he spoke and his red irises moved to the corners to view the said male.
"We couldn't find the Namekian survivors, despite our search. So Tagama and I risked our lives on earth and used the Dragon Balls there, instead," The shorty explained with hands still up in a praying gesture due to feeling very nervous about being around the merciless Lord.
Frieza turned to face the shorty, standing sideways. "And, who is Tagama...?" He asked, clearly not fazed by the man's words.
Soon, the said tall male came up and put a hand over his chest. "That would be me, Lord Frieza. Your loyal subject and it was a great honor to play such a vital role in bringing you back," Tagama spoke up with confidence and courage in his voice.
"I see... No doubt, the highlight of your career..." The Lordship replied then turned his back to them once more, facing the window again.
"Tagama's been an outstanding warrior under my command sir, I would dare say that he would rival against Zarbon and Dedoria at their peaks," Sarbei stated with pride, hoping to please the resurrected Changeling before him.
"We'll see about that. Now, I know it's hard to count the days when your dead, but what took you so long to restore my life?!" he exclaimed with his backside tin view, not very happy with the wait...
"Sorry your Lordship, between hunting down the Dragon Balls and creating the regeneration technology, it wasn't easy," Sarbei stated with slight worry, only to be yelled at by the very Lordship himself.
"I'll tell you what's not so easy, my so-called Commander! Suffering all those years in earth's hell! Tortured every day by a perversely saccharine parade of fairies and cuddly animals!" He exclaimed, then recalled his experience in his hell hole that he claimed it to be. "It was a hell worse than anything I could've imagined!" His eyes widened at those words and his teeth were gritted into view.
"You must be relieved then, we're so glad your back," Sarbei said with a surprised face, still, his hands were clasped together in that same gesture.
Frieza chuckled and thought about his own empire. "I bet my mighty empire is falling to pieces, without me here cracking the whip; and you've only revived me when you did because you were desperate. Did I guess accurately?" he asked with a smirk and watched the Commander's reaction from the reflection on the window.
"Er... N-No my Lord, it's not like that at all, I swear!" He panicked, then saw the very Lordship turn to face him slightly and peek over his shoulder.
"And my father?" That question made Sarbei's panic rise a bit more inside, he really didn't think of his father...
"Our plan was to bring you back first, Lord Frieza, and then resurrect Kind Cold as soon as we could make another wish!" he exclaimed only to have the said emperor scowl.
"Huh... No, I don't think we need to worry about reviving him. Father always was bloated with self-importance," He smiled, oddly enough not minding the idea of his father remaining in his deathbed.
The whole talk went on for a bit, mentioning his revenge. Tagama, who spoke up and suggested his empire being more important than his revenge had gotten shot by ki blasts from the very short Lordship himself.
As everything played out, Eglantina was peeking around the corner in the doorway and was rather amused by the display. She saw how Sarbei was acting and thought it was funny, then thought Frieza was interesting despite his short stature; short people always seemed to catch her interest. She kept giggling in the shadows, watching the short male go on like the ruler he was. There were mentions of Majin Buu and Beerus the destroyer, she'd cock her head to one side at the thought.
Frieza got done talking, saying how he was going to train for the next four months to harness his true potential. All went quiet for a while, then his smile dropped to a frown when he heard cute giggling. In side-view, his red iris rolled over to the corner and spotted red...gleaming...creepy...eyes staring right at him from the shadows. "If you are done hiding, I would recommend you to introduce yourself before I kill you..." he simply stated, rose an index finger, and waited.
"Homowaaaah...~" Eglantina cooed in a whispered voice then slowly stepped out of the shade and into the light. Her head was tilted to one side and her eyes were narrowed, those familiar pink flushes on her cheeks said it all... "Heeehehehehehehehe!~ Kill me, kill me if you can... Let's play...~" she sang and as soon as she said play her red irises shrunk from excitement; she reached for her gun the moment he shot his ki.
She vanished out of the way, appeared before him upside down with the tip of her crossbow gun at his forehead, and her wings sprawled out. She was flying a few inches from the ground, giggling and staring straight into his eyes. "You're so cute...~ So tiny and mighty, hehehehehe...~" Hard giggles escaped her masked lips then shut her eyes, and kicked her feet from her upside-down position, just like she had on that meteor before.
"Tell me your name you imbecile, or I will kill you where you float!" he exclaimed, put a hand to her face, and began to form ki.
She stopped laughing, blinked and giggled a bit. "Eglantina Shworvin!~ HAHAHAHAHAHA! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, SMALL 'SCARY' MAN!~" She sang with the word scary being sarcastic, as she vanished and had her voice echo through the halls. His eyes were wide, she was so fast that not even he could keep up...
"If you'll excuse me, I have to do target practice..." With that, the Lordship waltzed out of the room and followed the ki he felt from her. He was planning on killing her, even if it meant having to give chase or use a good portion of his power...
She was skipping down the hall like some child, eyes closed and mouth masked. The two tail ends of her vest kept bouncing with her as she hopped up and down with no care in the world. Suddenly, a red ki blast was sent after her, though she twirled to the left just right and dodged it easily. "Silly, you have to shoot better than that if you wanna play with me!~" she sang, winked and began to skip backward. That only made the emperor angrier, so he shot multiple ki blasts her way and she just did cartwheels and back flips to evade them all..with giggles escaping her masked lips. After he was done, his small form was shaking from rage, and veins began to pop out.
"Why did you stop mister?!~" she pouted behind that mask of hers and tilted her head. He just stood there, he knew if he lost his temper the whole ship would be gone... "Awww, you're no fun!" she narrowed her gaze then started laughing once more with blushes tinting her cheeks. "Oooooh weeeeeell, I guess I'll have to look for fun elsewheeeeere!~" Amusement could be heard in her voice before she vanished and...left a very astonished emperor stand there with a contemplative look to his features. She reminded him of those cutesy people in earth's hell, that he was in...and he hated it.
She was gone...somehow she had made it out of the ship and was soaring through space at a high speed; she was heading back towards earth.
~~~Elsewhere~~~
Back on Beerus's planet, Whis was standing there watching Goku and Vegeta spar in the distance. He noticed how their energy leaked out, so he pointed that out and explained why they shouldn't do that.
Akasma was rather amused, watching the two spar and listened to Whis's instructions. Gaining an idea, she hopped up from her spot and vanished using the Whistling Wind technique. It didn't take long for her to reappear, she wore her rogue attire with her bow and whip sword on her backside while her dagger resided in her rogue shoe; rushing over to Whis's side and put her arms behind her back. "I-I...am...going to...train, o-ok?" her stuttering breath questioned and saw him look down at her with a small smile.
"Of course, take your time.~" That was all he said until a voice came up from behind him and made him turn to view it.
"What's going on, it sounds like a damn screaming contest..." Beerus spoke as he strode over to them, having one hand behind his head and his eyes shut.
"My Lord? I didn't believe you would be up this early," Whis stated with his casual smile and viewed the purple feline.
"What'dya expect...? Have you seen these ears...?" he questioned, making Akasma giggle to herself at that comment.
Down came Goku and Vegeta, with the gi-guy raising a hand in a friendly gesture. "Hahaha, hi Lord Beerus, what's up?" He greeted only to have the feline sniff the air then sneeze out a ki blast...
Goku stated about how good it was that the sneeze missed them, with gritted teeth, and had Vegeta agree; not long did a large sphere in the sky had blow up... "It's just a moon this time, so we won't need a do over..." Whis commented with a frown.
Beerus was wiping his eyes then peered over at the three who stood there. "Now that I think about it, what are you two punch-jockeys doing on my world anyway? Besides Akasma, of course..." He rubbed his nose at the mention of her name, when he saw her standing there in a nervous wreck.
"We asked Whis to train us and he was nice enough to agree," That was Goku's simple reply.
"Yes and I figured out that much, I'm not a fool... What I mean is, how did you two get here from earth..?" Hequestioned, leaned in, and narrowed his gaze.
The whole conversation went on until Akasma heard them mention their reasons for training. "I-I am...only here because... I was promised to be taken to Fiijishara... Whis said I had to go back to earth because I had to go fight Eglantina... She would h-have chased me to my home planet, killed everyone that I knew and loved...if I had gone..." she chirped up shyly, averted her turquoise irises, and stepped back a bit.
"Well, better to fight her than to let her slip from your grasp... Whis, explain..." Beerus demanded after answering Akasma. It took a minute but Whis explained everything regarding Eglantina, the few clues he has on the pinky , and when Akasma had to go fight her. All was quiet, even Goku and Vegeta were shocked... They were never told about her going back to earth and fighting Eglantina...let alone, Shworvin tailing them all the way here.
"Now, she's waiting back on earth... Don't worry, she won't kill anyone...not as long as she gets to have her prey," He added, looked over at Shigiyuki, and frowned.
Beerus looked over at her for a moment and saw those mournful features take over in her squinted eyes. "Hmph...well, if she tries to kill you... I'll jump in. Can't have her last alternate version get killed..." he began, then looked away and blushed faintly. "At least...not the cute one..." he mumbled quietly to himself but soon jumped to another topic. "So...what was the treat and where's my share...?" Asking that, it made Whis jump slightly and laugh nervously.
"I...had some for you, but this time I dropped it during the journey back, clumsy ol' me. It's...probably floating through some asteroid belt or nebula right now!~" Whis answered, lied through his teeth, and hoped he'd buy it.
Beerus sighed and narrowed his gaze. "Dropped it in space huh...? Is that the truth?" he asked, soon having Goku point out how Whis had butterfingers and Vegeta to agree. He began to point out how Whis had gone to earth many times, while he was asleep, so he ended up seeing the teal man whistle after averting his attention away.
Whis had stated how he was taste testing the food to make sure the bad quality foods were avoided when he dined the next time. He nodded with an Uhuh then changed to a gleeful smile when Beerus questioned taste testing at the end.
"I- I...will go...train now..." Akasma stumbled over her words, causing everyone to look over at her.
"Of course Akasma, would you like some help with it? I'm sure lord Beerus and I would be more than happy to lend a hand.~" Whis smiled sweetly, faintly blushed, and watched as the Aeronan's face lit up like a tomato.
"I...wouldn't mind helping her but I have other plans," The thin cat stated and turned in the other direction.
Whis was about to say something when Akasma chirped in and caught their attention. "S-Sorry but...if...you don't mind... I- I would...l-like to...train alone..." She bowed to her waist and waited for approval, hoping that it didn't bother them... She didn't want to be rude and just run off on Beerus's planet, his planet is his own property.
"Alright...suit yourself," With that, Beerus vanished and was headed somewhere else. Whis just smiled and found her politeness rather nice.
"Very well, do keep in mind not to push yourself too hard. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself or gain another fever, now would we?~" he asked with narrowed eyes and a teasing smile.
Her face went ten shades of red at the mention of the fever... She could've sworn, he was bringing this up just to remind her of that kiss on her forehead... "EEE!-" she squeaked then vanished, leaving him and his pupils to stand there in wonder.
Soon, both Whis and Goku started laughing at her reaction, except Vegeta of course... He just stood there with a risen brow and appeared rather confused.
As time passed, so had their training, and Akasma was around a lake shooting out red ki arrows. The lake had trees surrounding it and it was the same lake she almost drowned in... She was about to shoot the red ki arrow when she heard Whis and Beerus speak from behind. She jumped and shot the arrow too early, causing it to hit several trees in its wake and made a gigantic expanding sphere of destruction to erupt in the distance. The ground shook heavily, wind brushed past them harshly and the water in the lake waved over the edge a bit. Sighing, she closed her eyes and tried to collect herself.
"Forgive us, did we startle you?" Whis asked with a tilt of his head. Beerus was trying hard to stifle his laughter but failed when he keeled over and held his stomach.
"N-n-n-n-not at all!" She waved her hands rapidly, backed up a bit, and blushed. "I- I just..let go...t-too early!" Panicking, she tried to hide her features even though her only visible turquoise eye could be seen. Her white bangs, mask, and hood practically hid the entirety of her face...
"You sure, you seemed pretty scared there! Hahaha!" Beerus laughed, followed by Whis who slipped out a few giggles.
She pouted from behind her mask and looked away, eyes narrowed and hands into fists. "I'm sorry, please forgive us. We just came to get you, lunch is almost ready.~" Whis mused, smiled genuinely, and chuckled.
"O-o...k..." Her hesitant words had not failed to make a pink tint form on the teal man's cheeks. Though one thing happened and made Akasma gasp, she slipped... The edge of the lake caved in and made her fall backward, eyes wide and blue pupils shrunk at the surprise. She was about to hit the water when both Whis and Beerus caught both her hands. Her eyes had shut before she was caught and she felt like she was about to fall at any minute... When she opened them though, she saw them holding on to her with a small grin on their faces. Her blush intensified, she wasn't expecting them to catch her...especially since last time, they didn't even come to check on her when she drowned in the water before... Whis was the only person who came to find her...
They pulled her up to her feet and stood there with the need to laugh again. They stifled their laughter but didn't let it out, it would've been wrong to make fun of her by laughing... "Come, let us go eat.~" Whis chirped, picked her up bridal style, and made her gasp in shock.
He vanished before Beerus got to say anything, so the feline just formed an irk mark on his head and called out to him. "WHIS!" As furious as he could muster those words, he took off after the man.
~~~Later~~~
Some time passed when a short purple man in a spaceship came and chatted with Bulma, he mentioned that Frieza was on his way with about a thousand men coming after them. That worried her, she wasn't expecting a resurrected Frieza from Namek, to come to earth on such short notice...
"And a thousand soldiers?" She asked, only to earn an, at least from the short male. "Frieza is one of the most ruthless and evil monsters we've ever faced..." Her expression held worry, she didn't like the thought of it.
"I should think so and if you've never faced his face, I did a quick sketch," The short male stated and showed her a poor sketch he did of him.
They conversed for a while, about how Frieza was coming and a few comments of that picture... Suddenly they both heard a splash and they looked over, only to see the two boys who were playing on the male's ship, sinking it...in the water...
Bulma got angry and demanded them to go back inside the house, clearly angry that they were wrecking his ship.
Later, out came Bulma trying to lure Whis out with Ice cream, she failed though and made her way back to the short male. They chatted once more but she exclaimed in panic when the male told her that he would arrive in about an hour. So she ran off into the house saying how she needed to warn everyone else.
~~~Time Le-skip~~~
When Bulma contacted Krillin, he got ready and said he'd be back to make food later. Everyone who was contacted, was on their way to a specific location while an old man with a purple kane rested no Krilin's backside. Suddenly, the sky went red after sensing some distinct powerful energy approaching the earth. They hurried before they got there and Frieza's ship was just outside the orbit.
In Eglantina's view, her heightened vision viewed the sky as they approached. She saw the ship in space closing in and could be seen sitting on a branch in one of the trees, enjoying the relaxation she had. "Oooooo, hehehehehehe!~ Looks like mister Frieza has come to play...with his prey...~" she sang, swung herself from side to side, and giggled. "I sure hope I can too, soon.~" Adding to her speech, not once had she averted her gaze from the descending ship.
Everyone had arrived at the destination, watching as the ship moved past the clouds and came into view. "Their landing, this is it..." Piccolo spoke. With that, everyone grew serious faces and waited as patiently as they could.
After they had gotten word from Whis way earlier during the day, not to attack Eglantina...they could feel her ki nearby and guessed she was just watching everything play out.
