Dragon Ball: Shattered Memories vol 1

Chapter 5: calm before the storm

many days passed just like that, Frieza would come by Shima's home and interact with her. over time frieza even kept a record of her growth in nearly every aspect, nowadays she was talking more, still very broken but no more babbling, she ate solid foods now and now had some minor temper flares. but nothing like it was when her brothers were the same age.

her brothers too, one was old enough to be in the army where the middle child kakkarot, had been old enough to do missions for a while on other worlds and so he was sent off to a weak planet. gine had been upset over both for a while but she still had shima and so was consoled more easily.

but things were not always they seemed to be, and on this day the royal family of planet Vegeta was having some major issues with a gluttonous cat. it was Lord Beerus, The God Of Destruction, forcing the king of the saiyans down to the floor like a footrest while eating a large banquet. this was a day the king feared the most. but when he was finished he got a much better idea

"whis, where is frieza as of current?"

the god spoke with a malicious tone, his attendant, a tall blue man with white hair tapped a staff he held and looked through the orb at the top

"ahh, he's leaving the residence of that powerful female saiyan that was just born...he looks, happy to some degree"

whis commented raising an eyebrow, this was highly unusual behavior for the emperor

"I've never seen that bastard or his father in any other state than pissed off...hmmm if he did what i think he did, this may become a problem in the future-"

beerus stated, whis looked through some past events and his eyes widened slightly

"you think he imprinted, don't you? well it would seem that is what happened....but what is your cause for alarm?"

whis asked curiously

"if the saiyans are just getting stronger, soon they may try to overthrow frieza which is bad for the stability of the universe...in the future, this saiyan may have powerful children of her own or even hybridize with unexpected results....it could be chaos"

beerus put his hand on whis's back

"take us to frieza's ship, i would do this myself but i feel a nap coming on"

whis sighed a bit but obliged, after all he was merely beerus's guide. he stood completely straight ready to teleport. now it was beerus's turn, he put his hand on whis's back and yawned, now whis tapped his staff and a beam of light appeared. the beam expanded and they left the kings castle heading right for frieza's ship. they simply floated right outside of it near the observation window.

frieza then returned to the ship, despite not really showing it he was as happy as could be, shima was progressing very quickly and was now healthy enough to do more things. her sight was still terrible but that wasn't stopping her from doing anything at all anymore, she was just as able to do things as a fully sighted child at her age. all those months ago frieza was correct, she just needed the right teacher.

however now frieza made his way to the observation deck as usual and was completely taken aback he recognized the figures outside his ship from so long ago, when his own father had entered an agreement with them

"l-lord beerus!"

it was all he could say, a visit from the god of destruction meant only one thing...a bad omen. suddenly whis and beerus both phased through the window

"ahh frieza it has been some time"

whis stated with a small smile but was slightly pushed out of the way by beerus who looked very angry

"these saiyans are getting out of control...and so rude...the most recently born saiyan was born with a power level of 8000 was she not?"

beerus questioned frieza, and frieza was not about to question beerus about how he knew all that, he had his ways

"ah...y-yes that is correct she was"

frieza didn't like where this was going and worst of all he had no way to stop it

"that kind of power so young is dangerous to the balance of the universe if she gets older...she could become uncontrollable and start destroying indiscriminately"

whis stated guiding beerus now in what to say

"ah but...she wouldn't hurt a fly, she doesn't have a violent bone in her body"

frieza tried to reason with them both...but it wasn't working

"and if she has an outburst of anger for any reason?....her power is already enough to do serious damage to a planet"

beerus stated, frieza could say nothing anymore, she had done her fair share of injuring people that weren't good to her or her family

"that is what i thought-, im tired of these games with the saiyans frieza...they're boisterous, loud, and quite rude...but your in luck, im too tired today to do anything....so your going to"

beerus had a devious grin across his face as he used some of his power to start glowing as a threat

"destroy planet vegeta...i want every saiyan gone by the time i awaken...no exceptions!"

frieza knew what this meant, he had to do something as soon as possible, warn her parents at least...something anything!
