Seven Souls of Stars

Chapter 5 - The Deal

Before the day of next match, the Judge receives an unlikely voting from the offenders. Most of them are a pupil of the gang from their own adversaries and much to their surprise, the one who against it was Lord Beerus own pupil. Head staff for this tournament does explain if they outvoted they must follow their request even the Judge has a privilege to ignore it but it will cause an outrage from spectators since the news already spread outside. Android 17 slam his fist on the wall, fumed by this.

"Great... Now how am I going to rid of those annoying pests?"

"Hey tough luck, bud. You ought to figure out something else. Or it'll refuse to let us enjoy our game anymore." Super Buu shrugs at him while leaning on the wall.

"The problem is I don't have a backup plan!" Android 17 cried in annoyance.

While the room went silent, thinking about how to keep the game going until he decided to help him out. It's quite rare for him to help others than his family bloodline. He stood up and head outside. Android 17 and Frieza look at him with a quizzical face.

"Where are you going, brother?" Frieza ask.

"It's time for me to pay a little visit with someone. Besides, if we can't think another game to play with... how are we going to maintain it while he holds us down?" Cooler calmly says.

"Are you calling me a drag?! Why you..." Before Android 17 could finish, Cell holds him off. "Well, do what you wish that can satisfy our spectators. At least we deal this problem..."

"Don't worry..." Cooler smirk. "I'll make it quick before any contestants notice me even for those goody-two-shoes Saiyans."

As soon he leaves, everyone decided to wait for him while the other Judge rethinks their previous game into something else since most of them including killing and smash those pesky fangirls and fanboys.

Meanwhile, Aren just got back from her training with Piccolo. Seems Piccolo already respects her after hearing her protest from Lord Beerus but her treatment in training same as always. Brash and rude, she knew he means it well. She decided to drink some tea to ease her tired muscles. Ordering from the service, She heads inside for a bath.

Several minutes later, her tea and snacks arrived carefully placed on the balcony just as she asks for, she locks her door and wears her white tee, sports jacket, and long slacks. For some reason, she's becoming aware of her secrets and decided to disguise even inside her own room. As soon she headed outside, she felt a familiar yet dark ki hovering from above. She knew right away who it might belong to.

Tilting her head upwards, she saw it was none other than Cooler himself. Does her vote has threatened them or he'll come for a talk. From the side his ki energy suddenly calms and lands in front of her on the balcony, he does need some talk with her. She approaches him carefully. It's a good thing she still hides her identity from him.

"Can I help you, Cooler-sama?" She asks him with her rough voice.

"At least you address me correctly. You even prepare me some tea and scones. May I join your tea party?" He smug.

"As you wish." She calmly sat across him. She offers him some tea and he gladly took it. After a sip from his cup, he carefully picks his English Muffin and began his conversation.

"May I ask you something, Aren?"

"Yes?" Aren continues to sip her tea.

"Why are you doing this?" Cooler promptly ask her while munching his muffin.
