Dragon Ball LoF

The King Rises

*dragon ball super a bad premonition theme plays*

*in a secluded building in the lost planet in middle of nowhere is Cerberus' base of operations, gloomy and cold due to its damp atmosphere* *water drips to the floor rhythmically every couple seconds, making a small puddle in front of a large door; the door opens, making some water hit the person entering*
Azrael: … *blank face as the water makes his hair wet, looking up and letting it trickle down his face* We need to fix that pipe. My hair is always wet. *walks into the main throne room, sitting down on the edge of the stairs and sighing* *he takes off his mask, revealing he's a young man, around 20 years old, beautiful red eyes and jet black fluffy hair that seems darker than the cosmos*
Cass: *standing next to the throne, looking over at Azrael* Azrael, have you seen Harut or Lord King recently? It's been quite awhile… Hours even…
Azrael: *shrugs* Haven't seen anything. After Lord King dropped you off, he went back out. He may be testing Harut.
Cass: Testing Harut? *pouts, looking down at the room they're in* I don't see why he would need to… He's proven himself to our lord already, right?
Azrael: If you believe that, then you're a fool. *yawns, then rests his hand on his cheek* Think about it. Whenever that psycho gets a chance to hurt others or to be hurt, he takes it. Lord King surely saw that already, as someone of his power is always ten steps ahead.
Cass: *upset at the "fool" line, but sighs and brushes it off* You're right… Whenever we would gather sacrifices, he would tend to toy with the enemies too much.
Azrael: I couldn't see any other reason to stay and watch, if he truly believed in him. Harut's blood power is all he is good for, and without it a large pool of our forces would be dwindled to ashes. It would truly just be us and our Lord.
Cass: … *lowers head, getting a solemn expression* Is that… all you saw in Harut?
Azrael: Is the sky blue? *flashes a gaze at Cass, his eyes lidded with boredom*
Cass: *eyes narrow as she looks back at him* Then what about me?
Azrael: *about to answer her, but hears a distinct sound* Hm? *looks over, seeing King appear in the entrance of the room*
Cass: *looks over as well quickly, gasping when seeing King* My Lord…! *rushes down the stairs quickly to him*
King: … *eyes closed*
Cass: *slows down as she gets closer, stopping right in front of him* *her excited face progressively gets confused* Where's… Where's Harut, my lord?
King: ...Dead. *walks past her, going up the stairs*
Cass: …! *eyes shrink* He's… dead…? How is that possible? *turns to face King as he goes up the stairs*
King: *sits down on the throne, crossing his leg and letting out a long exhale* He did what I feared he would do.
Azrael: Let his pleasures get the best of him, my lord?
King: Yes. *tapping his nail on the arm of the throne, getting progressively more annoyed* 
Cass: *grits teeth* That fool… He should've known what Frost Demons are capable of…!
King: It's not that simple.
Cass and Azrael: Huh…? *Azrael turns to look up at King, surprised as well*
King: Those weren't ordinary Frost Demons. There was something familiar about them… *flashback to when Kobura snapped, practically destroying the arena solely from his rage* *in head* I recognize them all too well, however… These two must not know. Not until the time comes… *out loud* …Whatever the case may be, Harut did not die in vain.
Cass: Not in vain, my lord…? *confused* I… don't understand… His death is a huge loss for Cerberus, is it not?
King: Quite the opposite. *finally opens one of his eyes, looking down at Cass with a ruler's gaze* Harut's death was just the very beginning of our resurgence.
Azrael: Is it what he said before, my lord? *spins around on the stair, looking up at him curiously*
King: Indeed. *flashback to after Harut told Cerberus about the tournament*
King (Past): Let us begin…
All 3 (Past): Yes, my lord! *Azrael and Cass get up immediately, walking to their respective rooms to prepare for their adventure, but Harut stays behind while still bowed*
King (Past): Hm? You're still here? You should be preparing for the journey, Harut.
Harut (Past): My lord, if I may take a moment to say this… *gets a sadistic grin, getting excited just thinking about what he's about to say* If given the opportunity… The opportunity to find you the challenge you surely desire… Allow me to be the stepping stone in your honor!
King (Past): I don't believe I follow. *eyebrow raise* What do you mean by "stepping stone"?
Harut (Past): You say this, but I'm sure you already know the answer my lord… To sacrifice myself for your cause is all I live for any longer! *looks up at him, eyes lidded in masochistic urge* If I fail you, take my life yourself! I beg of you! *smiles* And if I am to die to another, let it be known… I am not so easily defeated! Whoever would be to best me could possibly even be… a successor, my lord!
King (Past): *eyes brim with light* You believe yourself formidable enough to make such assumptions…?
Harut (Past): I'm sure you know this as well… Theoretically speaking, I am unkillable to those even of Cassiel's strength, due to my blood pact… *drools fantasizing about his death, bowing more to King* Please, grant me this honor… Whoever bests me in combat be praised, rather than killed for revenge!
King (Past): … *sighs* If you insist… However, don't die so easily. I know how you are, masochist.
Harut (Past): I plan not to, my lord… I will give them quite the skirmish of bloodshed, I promise you! It will not be over until the air within a mile reeks of iron and scarlet mist!!~
Azrael (Past): *finished early, peeking his eyes over at them from the doorway* …
*cuts back to the present with the same face Azrael made back then*
Azrael: ...He wanted not only his death to be respected, but the person who brought it to fruition to be as well. *looks at the ground* I'm sure you did just that, my lord.
King: Memento mori, in other words "Remember that you must die"... Harut believed his death alone must be a stepping stone for not only our cause, but those Frost Demons.
Cass: But… But there was no way he knew he would die so suddenly, right? Right after such a promise, he… *tears up a bit*
King: I'm sure he did. His corpse had a smile on its face, as a matter of fact. *taps the arm of the throne again, sighing* It caught me off guard, but I'm sure he knew his desire well. I plan to honor his wishes from this point forward, and let it be known to you two. The man known as Kobura, and any of his friends, must be respected and treated with due diligence. Any attack on them without proper jurisdiction will be met with pain and suffering from I. Do I make myself clear?
Cass and Azrael: *bow their heads* Yes, my lord.
King: Good. *rests his head back on the throne, closing his eyes for a moment* … *opens them, looking down at Azrael* Azrael… Do you have him?
Azrael: The human, my lord?
King: Yes, the one known as Mark Jei-Son.
Azrael: Of course. *rises from his bow and raises his hand, making him appear in front of the stairs up to the throne* He seemed important to you… What were your plans, if you mind me asking?
King: My plans? *grins* Simple. To make an impact in this entire solar system, we must become well known. One part of one planet knows us now all too well, and word will spread like the fires from my body.
Cass: *blushes hearing that, her breath staggering a bit* Hhn…
King: As Cerberus, you started as three fallen kais, wishing to right the wrongs done on to you. Now… *waves his hand towards himself, pulling the body to his hand with an invisible force like a magnet* We shall be more than three heads. We shall be a grand nation. *suddenly shoves his hand through his chest, pulling out his heart and watching it beat slowly*
Cass: …! *despite such a horrible sight, she can't help but swoon to her lord* H-aahh…
Azrael: … *grins slowly, enjoying seeing the presence of death*
King: Together, we will rise again. To those who underestimate us, to those who look down on us, and to those who sully our names… I say to them just one thing… *suddenly crushes the heart, the blood exploding everywhere and flowing down the stairs like a red carpet* What you say to us now?!
Azrael: !! *surprised he crushed the heart, watching the blood trickle around his boots and going past him to the ground of the room*
Cass: *does the same, sure not to get her clothes dirty from the weakling's blood*
*it's then the blood begins to bubble and boil, some of it shooting out chaotically, before giant hands forming from them and slamming against the ground*
King: I, King Asuke, am beyond such trivial terms like "life" and "death"!! My will shall be heard by all, for the lives of those who were wronged in this horrible reality!! *his hand glows, raising up above him as he looks at the blood form into more monstrous creatures* *dragon ball super broly frieza's scheme, premonition of death theme plays*
