Dragon Ball Story: The Lost and The Forgotten

Demise!

Smoke soared into the sky from the crater. The sound of the engine running faded while the small hatch opened. Once the gate lowered to the ground, a man emerged from the round space pod. An indigo-skinned, scaly, fish-faced male stretched and massaged his neck after a long journey. He wore standard black and brown armor, bluish tight pants, white gloves, and boots. After properly stretching, the soldier took hold of the green scouter and pressed a button. While he waited for the results, the man flew out of the crater.

He landed on the highest ridge and observed the landscape. "Hmph! The planet's a dump. Even if the monkey survived the pod's malfunction, there's no way that weakling can survive in this extreme environment." While he talked with himself, the scouter came to life.

"A power level of 3,000!? That's impossible! Raditz's battle power barely reached 860!"

Sweat rolled down the man's scaly face, but not out of fear. The man was curious to discover who it was and what they were doing on this planet. However, he decided to stay put and wait for the stranger to come because the scouter indicated they were coming his way. A smirk arose as he crossed his arms and wondered about the individual.

"Whoever it is has a puny power level compared to mine. Although, I'm intrigued to find out why anyone would live on this worthless rock. Ugh! The climate's not suited for me at all!"

The man swore while wiping the sweat off his brow. "Damn Zarbon! Next time, he's going to do something for me. I'm tired of always doing his dirty work." He muttered under his breath so the said man wouldn't hear him over the scouter.

His attention shifted to the sky immediately after the device warned him that the individual was closer. He gazed up and noticed the little dot in the distance. The soldier kept his cool and waited until the figure in the air became visible. He frowned while the gray-haired, older male donning an outdated battle armor landed before him.

"A-Ahh! I-I knew it! You must be a member of the Freeza Force! Quick, send a transmission to Freeza and tell him..."

A punch to the face rendered the one-eyed male incapable of talking. "Silence, old man. I'm the one with lots of questions here. First, you'll tell me who are you and what are you doing on this planet?" The soldier crossed his arms again and glared at the older man intently.

"T-There's no time for stupid questions! Both of us are doomed if you don't call in! H-He's after me, and he will kill both of us if you don't call Freeza!"

The soldier stared at the rambling male with a surprised expression. However, a second later, the scaly individual began to laugh. "Hah! How long have you been stranded here, old man? This world must've made you mad!" He placed a hand over his hip while covering the mouth with the other.

"There's no one in this puny world capable of killing me. I'm Cui, one of Lord Freeza's most powerful warriors!"

A chuckle escaped Cui's lips as he arrogantly stared at the gray-haired male. "Now, speak! Who the hell are you!? Based on your armor, you must've served Lord Freeza. Why are you here and..." He raised his voice as he demanded answers but halted once something crashed nearby.

"Y-You fish-faced fool... W-We're dead because of you!"

Cui ignored the man's rumbling and focused on the young-looking male standing before him. After he studied the newest arrival, Cui sneered as he closed his eyes. He shook his head and gazed at the older male who tried to be sneaky and flee.

"This guy's supposed to kill me? Hah! What a joke! I bet his power level isn't over 5,000."

The overconfident soldier chuckled until he noticed the young man step forward. "Oh, you're approaching me? You ignorant buffoon haven't got a clue who you're picking a fight with." Cui raised a hand and grinned.
