Arcosia, Age 726

“It's gonna be okay…” An Arcosian held their child, sitting there in a bunker in fear of whatever that THING was doing, “We'll get through this…”

The child sobbed as earthquakes began to erupt, splitting the bunker's walls. Dirt and mud flowed into the bunker, leaving stains everywhere, “Papa! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!”

“You won't die! You won't die! I promise you, my son…”

Suddenly, the bunker's doors opened as Freyzion stared down, “More devils to annihilate.” Freyzion charged a death beam and aimed at the child and the father,

“We're one of you! We're not horrible people! Please!”

“Yes, but you could create demonspawn. Demonspawn that will conquer the galaxy. Demonspawn that will ensure the death of every race… I've had a mission to end this tyranny,” He sighed, his eyes filled with distraught, but no regret, “Cry to your King Cold, if he just changed Arcosia's ways…“

Just before the death beam could shoot off, a 20 year old Cooler jumps into the fight, shoving a purple blast into Freyzion's stomach and sending him flying. THE Lord Cooler. Hadn't cowered away like his father and younger brother, no, THE Lord Cooler stood up to defend Arcosia.

“What do you wish to be, a martyr?” Freyzion asked Cooler as he recovered from the blast,

“No,” Cooler spoke, raising his fingers and pointing at Freyzion, “I wish to kill the one that threatens me and my brothers alike! Doing that, I gotta kill you."

“Can't you see…” Freyzion muttered, but jumped up and slammed his fist right into Cooler's…

He missed.

Cooler dodged the blow right as it came to him, and the Lord slammed his fist into Freyzion's chest, winding him and sending him flying. Cooler caught up to Freyzion and started beating down on him. He punched him, kicked him, blasted him, and eventually slammed him into the ground.

Freyzion was hopeless. Cooler started descending from the air. Freyzion's mission for a better universe was getting further and further, and his gap for success was getting slimmer. He crawled along the floor, trying to find something…

And then he saw them.

The Arcosian Dragon Balls, right next to King Cold's main ship, which he destroyed after  Cold and Frieza escaped seconds before the blast. The magical orbs… if he could just…

“Oh, Eternal Kyodai! Come forth, for you must grant me my wish!”

Cooler's eyes widened as he stared at the Eternal Kyodai rising into the air.

Lightning filled the planet's air as buildings collapsed, the massive dragon had risen into the air and stared down at Freyzion.

“What is your…”

“I am Freyzion! Emperor of Justice! I vow to kill these Arcosians in their evil ways, and I intend to do them of righteousness! They must die for their crimes, crimes that I've witnessed!” Freyzion shouted up to the Eternal Kyodai, “If you don't fuse with me, then you'll die like the rest of them, because you're just as horrible! Join me, Kyodai, join me and make these sinful Arcosians perish!”

“I am sorry, Freyzion, but that is impossible—”

“I need this! That is my wish! Your bounds did not say anything about fusing with me! Take it as a wish to grant me more power!”

The Eternal Kyodai stared at Freyzion, and looked to Cooler, who was ready to fire a blast at Freyzion.

And suddenly... It disappeared. And then, a massive shockwave shook the planet of Arcosia, roads crumbling and the planet splitting by the sheer force of power. The Dragon Balls turned red with black stars, and scattered out of the atmosphere into the outer reaches of the Universe.

Freyzion rose up from the ashes, staring at Cooler as he now was fearful. Freyzion went to attack, but Lord Refrize, son of Lord Subzre, attacked Freyzion and dragged him along the dirt. But before he could land another blow, Freyzion flipped Refrize over and slammed him down in a chokeslam.

“You really used the power of our Dragon Balls to fuse with the our dragon, the Eternal Kyodai?” Refrize spoke as Freyzion had him pinned down, “Cowardly! You weren’t even strong enough to defeat me!”

Freyzion grabbed Refrize’s neck and snapped it, the power of Arcosia’s Dragon Balls and Arcosia’s Shenron flowing through him, uncontainable. As he stood, he admired his destruction of Planet Arcosia, home to one of the most ravagous and destructive races. Now desolate, destroyed. By the power of Freyzion’s hand. He noticed Cooler escaping with his Cooler Force, and wanted to go after him, but suddenly, the ship disappeared.

“I'm no coward! I'm the one man army standing up against tyranny! What have you done?” Freyzion asked in anger, “It was for the greater good, Refrize. Who knows what you would’ve done if I let you guys leave… And I even failed my mission! It was sloppy work. King Cold of the North, King Subzre of the South, Lord Frieza, Lord Cooler all escaped.”

Freyzion fell to his knees and sighed, “A job left undone is unsatisfying. To those who escaped this, to those survivors that are off planet… You’re lucky. I don’t wish to live with the burden of all these deaths on my conscience! No matter how evil!” Freyzion stared to the sky, “I don't… Want to die. But… the power of the Eternal Kyodai… It's too powerful, in the end I'm just a man who tried to be a hero. An unsuccessful hero.”

And with that, Freyzion's veins burst, his body packed with so much Dragon energy that he combusted. A massive shockwave was let off in the wake of his death, breaking the planet into shards.

And with the end of the chapter,the end of Arcosia.
