The Warrior Of Hope

Chapter 9: A Tournament

Friday

It was the day of the dance and I was getting dressed in a good suit with Kylie watching.

"I know you explained everything to me about this but I'm still mad and jealous."

"I know and I'm sorry that I have to do this."

"I know, just don't do anything stupid."

"I won't, I promise." She seemed to relax a bit. I finished getting ready and finally get the tie done. Who the fuck made it this hard to tie the stupid thing. "So Kylie, what do you think?"

"You look amazing." I can feel my face burn up a little from her comment.

"Really? I feel like an idiot."

"You are an idiot."

"True." I can sense Dai getting close to the planet. "She is almost here."

"I can tell since your eyes darted up. Please tell me you won't do anything stupid with her."

"I won't do anything stupid period."

"I'm glad." She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. I gladly hugged her back. Kylie finally sensed her power as she got in Earth's atmosphere. "She's here."

"Yeah." She unwraps her arms from around me and steps back. I give her a quick kiss on the forehead. "I promise nothing stupid."

"Okay. See you."

"See you." I put my index and middle finger to my forehead and use instant transmission to get to Dai. In an instant I'm on Dai's ship.

"How the hell did you get on here?"

"Instant transmission."

"Okay." She was a bit scared and confused as she turned the ship around and headed off to the intergalactic dance.

-------

We walk into the building where the dance is being held and I notice all the different alien species here.

"Wow." My voice was quiet.

"Surprised by the different people?"

"Yeah."

"Don't worry, I will tell you the names of the ones important." She pointed to a blue humanoid creature with spikey ears and antennae. He had full red eyes and grey patches on his elbows and his chin was grey. He wore black, red, and white robes and a necklace with a few bones on it. "He is Domino, the Namekian God. He also has body guards as you can see." His body guards have green skin and yellow patches instead of grey. You could see there eyes were like a Saiyan's and humans in the sense that they have pupils and irises. They wore similar robes to Domino.

"Okay, he is a god. Is that why I can't sense his power?"

"Yep, divine energy. Now over there-" She points to a giant man wearing battle armor similar to the Saiyan's. It has a blue cape on it. He is light purple with white arm and shin guards I think, on them was a pink strip from one end to the other. His head was white with this dark blue spot in-between two horns that pointed upwards.

"is King Cold, King of the Frost demons. Him and his family are powerful and own many planets, his son Cooler owns the most." I look at her in disbelief.

"They own planets?"

"Yes. Sadly they aren't fair and pretty much turn the races on those planets into slaves." With her saying that I direct my gaze at King Cold with anger. How can a family be that cruel to people? His power though is gigantic, with my current level of strength I couldn't beat him, I don't think I could put a scratch on him actually.

"Is there anyone else I should know about?"

"Not really." A group of other Saiyan's walk up to us. Glad they did so I can distract myself.

-----

It was the dinner portion of the dance and I was starving and annoyed. With talking to other people I learned of Kind Cold's two sons and they are just as bad as him. I talked to Domino too and he is a badass, the god of an entire race and he's fair. He is easily the best person at this party. I sit next to Dai at this long table as other people fill in at the table.

"When does the food come out?" I whisper to Dai.

"In a bit, be patient." I groan in annoyance at the answer and King Cold walking into the room. What surprises me is that he goes to the front of the room and not a seat. He takes what I believe is a microphone.

"Attention, attention, I have something to say." I look away only to have Dai elbow me in the side and tells me to look.

"I am having something in the name of Cooler for his 1700th conquered planet, a tournament." My body fills with rage at the number of planets his son has conquered.

"The tournament is two weeks from now and the winner gets to fight cooler, just come to my planet on the day of the tournament to sign up. That is all I have to say." He walks back down as I mark my calendar for two weeks so I can kick Cooler's ass.
