     Drifting in the middle of space, entering the Milky Way Galaxy, a large oval-shaped ship.

The noise of his brother's god-awful singing woke up the young man. What the hell man? I need to rest after our invasion you inconsiderate piece of-  He stopped himself and calmed down. He got up quickly and rushed to his younger brother playing his music.

"THE KOMBUCHA MUSHROOM PEOPLE, SITTING AROUND ALL DAY! WHO CAN BELIEVE YOU? WHO-"

"Turn! It! Down!"

"No! This is my ship, I'll play my music!" Cyro had turned up the volume dial to maximum volume

"You're insufferable Cryo..." Sleet said.

"WHAT?!"

"I SAID YOU ARE INSUFFERABLE!" Sleet repeated but much more loudly.

"AND YOU'RE JUST-...uhh..." He trailed off. He turned down the volume of his metal music to think.

"Marvelous? Charmful? Great?"

"A dick," he replied flatly

"That's just cold," Sleet said.

"Hah! Cold, haha."

Sleet and Cryo. These two brothers hail from one of the strongest clans of them all. The Frost Demons also called Freeza's Race. They had been on a 3-month expedition into the Northern Quadrant of the universe. After Freeza's army had been crippled several times his child Kuriza had taken over in a not so peaceful way causing some unknown warriors to kill him, but not before he had fathered Gelid, the two brother's father. They were either scouting for intelligent signs of life to gain resources and technology from or recruit strong warriors to help support their cause on conquering the known universe. The brothers had just come from long-drawn campaigns on other planets on their own and were remarkably exhausted. Despite their immense strength, they had been worn out from fighting elites on their own without any outside help.

Sleet is the elder brother, being 97 years old. Though in his race this is seen as being a young adult. In his first form, he stands at 5'6 and has three horns, making him look 5'10, one of the horns was split while in development and grew as two. His tail has two ends to it, looking kind of like a snakes tongue. His skin was a pale blue while his carapace was a light gray. Other than those features he pretty much looks like Cooler. He was an egomaniac, often letting petty insults or misunderstandings get under his skin. He is a stern teacher, usually making his subordinates stronger through them sharing a strong resentment for Sleet making them want to kill him. When he isn't being pissed off he can be quite caring, showing love to his brother but in a very unloving way. 

Cryo is the younger brother and is only 85 years old, making him a young child in his race's eyes. He and Sleet have a troubled relationship, formed from a shared hatred of their parents. His dark past had made him into a loving person for the sake of his own health. In his first form, he stands at 5'1 and has horns that start from his temple and are curled back a bit and are apart of his head carapace. He has a sleek build, looking a bit unintimidating. He has two short tails, each about 2 feet long. He has an acorn head with his head gem being a dark neon green color as well as his shoulder gems and his abdomen gem. His skin is faded violet and he has several scars on his arms and chest. He is a pretty nice person always alert and caring for family only and see others as not enemies but lower people, and when they talk out of hand well...That's for you to see.

The two remained very quiet for a long time before their navigation A.I had spoken

"High PowerRatings detected. Course changed to Planet 4032-Green-877."

"What's our ETA?" Cryo had asked the A.I

It responded with "Three days."

"Huh..." Cryo said slightly amused. "This must mean there happen to be some seriously powerful people on that planet, Sleet. Which means we can come back with a new fighting force for the Empire."

"Pftt." Sleet waved the commentary off. "Like I'd save it for the Empire, we can split it between us...Father doesn't deserve more firepower..." Sleet said with obvious resentment.

"Oh, I hadn't thought about that...Fuck him! One day I'm gonna waste him, along with mother..." Cryo declared.

"Whoa! Mom too? What did...Oh..." Sleet had stopped talking

He remembered that their mom and dad had abused Cryo severely, leaving permanent scars all over his body for not being their next prodigy that an oracle had predicted he'd be. They had done the same to Sleet but he had buried those feelings deep inside, they both had broken spirits and bones but Cryo never seems to forget those who had wronged him, he was extremely vengeful but luckily that side of him was rarely shown.

Sleet walked to his brother to calm him down. His anger had been shaking the ship and making certain things malfunction. "Cryo...Calm it. Now. We mustn't focus on this now, we have bigger things to worry about. Cryo ignored him and played a depressing song from his playlist. One that reminded him of his past but calmed him down. 

It seemed the universe paused for a second while the sad metal music played. It was one that both of them knew too well and made them feel the same. Cryo and Sleet sung along with the artist, with their singing slowly diverging into two different emotions from the two of them A lump formed over Sleet's throat while Cryo's aura seeped out from him in anger.

"Hey...Let's go train eh? For old time sakes, it's been a few years, no?" Sleet had said with a warm smile.

Cryo had looked up and his expression changed to a wide smirk.

"Let's get it! We gotta prepare for these guys!"

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They two brothers would train until they had passed out. With either of them having any inkling of what was in store for them in the next three days and neither did our friends on Earth.
