Hanasia, Queen of the Saiyans

3.43 The space arena

They wouldn't stop getting closer, the arena growing ever bigger. What Hanasia had thought was a glass bubble was actually the lighted dome of a park. And in the end it wasn't a park, but a gigantic space as large as a battlefield, with little green areas to help oxygen renewal. Then she saw the green areas weren't small shrubs but actually huge trees. The walls along the sides of this plains were already hidden from her line of sight by the edges of the porthole.

It really was gigantic.

And the spot where the bomb was hidden... she could visualize the route thanks to the mental image Bourgo had put in her head. From here she couldn't see it. You'd need to leave the "park", move along long corridors, reach the distanced quarters and the soldier's refectory, and it was there, in a shack, where the machine to take all their lives was hidden.

Tagarrion indicated the marching orders to the Saiyans. He had brought them to the room of the vessel by which they had entered. It's long sliding door was closed and the warriors were frustrated they couldn't see outside. The door behind them closed the airlock.

He tried to explain to them what was going to happen, knowing they lacked space-related vocabulary.

— In a few seconds, the gravity, air and heat in this room are going to disappear. Then the outside door will open. We'll immediately fly toward the shield. To enter the space arena, it's like going into water, but a lot harder. So dive with both hands in front, pointed, to pass through the protection. Once done, you'll be surrounded by air, and subjected to gravity. Don't waste any time, the vacuum of space is hostile. And especially don't look to the right.

At their right was the sun.

He was satisfied with himself, he thought he had made it clear and simple.

Several Saiyans raised their hands.

— There's lot's of words I didn't get.

Tagarrion sighed. Hanasia answered:

— You won't be able to breathe. Run straight into the wall of light, diving. And do it quickly.

— Now? Asked another Saiyan, who was wondering if he should destroy and go through the door. We need to... uuuhhh... break... ack!! ACK!! (I can't breathe!!)

The Saiyans barely noticed the gravity had disappeared. And all this hogwash about heat was negligible compared to the feeling of suffocation which was, until now, entirely novel.

The door of the airlock opened. They threw themselves forward, in a panic. Most thought to put themselves in a diving position. Others hurt their heads more when they went through the energy shield.

On the other side, the conditions were closer to what they knew and they were able to calm themselves, breathe a little, and receive the first energy salvos sent from beneath them.

Hanasia transformed into Super Saiyan and was among the first to arrive. She observed sideways and efficiently what was awaiting them. An army of regular soldiers, just as the two previous attacks. Though Hanasia hadn't herself really crossed any living soldiers, she knew their power-levels. She knew the Saiyans and the rebels would easily get through them. But it wouldn't cost her much to reduce their numbers by half.

She tried as best as possible to ignore the demon and his evil aura standing in the middle of his army, and identified the strongest power-levels around him.

She raised her arms and a rain of energy fireballs poured over the arena.

One heck of a bad day for Ganicou, a soldier in Frosty's army.

Already the mood on the battlefield wasn't good. Every experienced soldier of a Frost Demon knew that their boss never fought, unless his army had already lost. And Frosty had placed himself in the middle of his men, as if nothing... It could only mean he considered them as already dead.
