Chapter 21: Cooler’s Revenge I
Breathing in gout Jin stood across Gohan, it was another textbook training session, the sheer talent the son of Goku held within him was… envious to keep it short; but he will not allow the talent that's in the child to blind Jin's thoughts.
Blinking he smirked as Gohan charged at him and Jin charged forwards to meet him as their elbows clashed, Jin's eyes met Gohan's own eyes and Jin saw the brief flash of it; hesitation.
No.
Fear?
Jin attempted a chin check only for his fist to be blocked and to receive a kick to the chest in retaliation, stepping back Jin's feet moved rhythmicly on the ground as he took the side angle of Gohan as he attempted another kick.
Completing his turn Jin attempted a rib punch only for Gohan's elbow to divert the punch away from his body entirely, and thus leaving Jin open for punishment.
Gohan's an actual challenge for Jin, not because he's powerful, but rather their basically the same height and due to them having the same body type and as such the same fighting style it's a challenge.
Essentially at this time both Jin and Gohan are equals, this is because of simply they're similar builds, Jin nor Gohan can take the advantage of having the bigger nor smaller body and cannot get the angles that give them an advantage.
Pulling away from a wheel kick Jin, breathing in to just merely think he grimaced and ducked another attack in the form of a punch and decided to go for the offensive, gitting his teeth lightly he attempted a leg sweep only for his kick to be checked.
Jin blocked an overhand with his shoulder, simply letting it roll over his shoulder. Blinking he lowered his stance and slammed his elbow into the gut of Gohan, this being the first attack that landed in the entire fight.
This attack did minimal damage to Gohan, but it did give him momentary pause, as such it allowed Jin to follow up for a second attack which was a classic power punch to the face.
This would've landed however, Gohan's senses came back faster than Jin anticipated and was able to block the attack by crossing his arms over his face.
Jin decided to continue through with the punch, adjusting his wrist to vertically Jin stepped forwards and bent his elbow, this allowed his hip to engage and moved his elbow close to the gap and slam into jaw of Gohan.
The second hit of the fight.
Gohan stepped back once. This should've been a clear indication of a plan in Gohan's mind, but Jin didn't follow as he attempted to follow up his elbow. This attempted follow up allowed Gohan his first proper retaliation with a solid jab to Jin's face.
This stunned Jin for a split second, but that split second was too long for this fight and gave Gohan the gap he needed to force Jin back with a kick to the side.
"You're getting better" Jin spoke as he intentionally rolled on the ground before he used the momentum to plant himself on the ground.
"Thanks, dad's been wanting me to get stronger and stronger, and sparing with you has been helping a lot!" Gohan smiled as he met Jin's eyes.
Jin rolled his neck "obviously, Saiyans get stronger as they fight, it's our adaptive ability that makes us quite a foe to go against"
Gohan snickered as he dropped back into his stance as Jin went to his stance, and in that moment he felt something coming his way, his eyes met Gohan's in a silent conversation.
In an instant they went to clash but they intentionally missed each other, passing each other they're fists landed true on their actual target.
For Jin his fist landed in directly in the gut of a being wearing Saiyan armor, the alien was reddish in colour, and had a reptilian head. Jin quickly jumped up and slammed his heel into the jaw of the alien sending his newfound opponent away.
Blinking he decided to follow them, answers shall be found.
—————
Goku breathed out steam as the medium rare steak still nearly sizzled in his mouth, Chi Chi's cooking was amazing as always, but his excitement in having the food made the steak seem like he was breathing fire when he was chewing.
Breathing out hurriedly in an attempt to lessen the heat in his mouth, Gohan's energy was rising, he could feel it. So he could only assume he was currently fighting Jin, speaking of Jin, that boy is strange.
From not being able to feel his Ki to suddenly appearing out of nowhere, he wasn't really know what to feel when he first saw the boy. It was gratitude for sure, but it quickly turned into caution, from the way he sometimes… tuned them out some times.
Jin was an anomaly in all honesty, he was strong without a doubt, as they saw him fight both on Namek and on earth, he just couldn't shake off this feeling of…
Uneasiness from him.
It wasn't from a feeling of bad place but rathe from a place of pure confusion.
Where did he come from? What does he want? Why is he helping?
He isn't one to turn away someone like Jin in all honesty neither is he going to turn away from a challenge.
Goku kept his smile however, still eating his steak as Chi Chi prepared a lunch for Gohan when he returned with Jin, looking over he saw everything he could want as well.
Pasta, scrambled eggs, broccoli, and meat with melted cheese on top.
It wasn't conventional but it didn't need to be, it needed to give Gohan a lot of protein for his second part of training, after all, Gohan's training and studying all week!
He's sure is happy that his son is a fighter, after all; he can't be here all the time! Goku reached for the sauce only for his eyes to narrow, two unknown powers were approaching Gohan and Jin's place with one coming towards here, and another much more larger one up in the sky.
Suddenly standing up he grit his teeth.
"CHI CHI!" The front door broke and his forearm blocked a fist that was meant for his wife.
He'll pay for even thinking about this.
———————
Jin rolled a punch over his shoulders as the alien laughed gleefully, he didn't like the guy at all, from his creepy face to the way he threw out haymakers.
Narrowing his eyes he slammed his knee into the gut of the alien then his elbow into the temple of the ailen, and with a smirk he slammed his foot into the back of the alien who came crashing down on the ground with a bloody scream.
Jin narrowed his eyes at the bleeding alien in front of him before grabbing the collar of the elastic armor he brought the alien up.
"So who're you?" He asked absent mindedly admittedly not really caring.
"N-guagh?!" Blood came out of the alien's mouth and dotted up Jin's face before Jin blinked several times in disgust.
"Ugh… y-you're going to regret this! Ngh, I… I am Neiz, of the Cooler Squadron!" Jin's face didn't change only his eyes narrowed at the corpse in front of him.
His training was interrupted by this jokester of an existence?
Standards must be falling universe wide.
"You said that like I'm supposed to feel fear" Jin blinked again as Neiz has blood start to line up outside his mouth.
"Oh ho, y-you are, for you see… Freiza's older brother is here… and… he's far stronger than Freiza! Lord Cooler will kill you!" Neiz smiled as he stared into Jin's eyes.
Jin blinked as the blood on his face started to dry he really didn't care about the frost demon's all that much, the only reason he holds them in regard is the fact they served along side in the war.
But things change over thousands of years.
Wiping the blood off his face he spoke "why should I care?"
Jin's words caused Neiz's eyes to widen then his teeth to grit, apparently he was offended, how far can he take this?
"If a failure of a failure came to try and take me out I'd rather kill myself than even face the humiliation of fighting that failure's brother" Jin was mainly speaking nonsense but it appearently made it's mark.
Sure he was attacking this guy's boss but he's sure to have some pride in fighting for the guy, right?
"I mean, if Freiza's brother is here then I've no reason to worry, after all, I'll make a grave site just for him" Jin's eyes narrowed as he smirked.
"How dare you…" Neiz's yellow eyes became blood shot.
"Oh? A reaction, are you going to say you're courting death? Please do, because trust me, that bitch ain't all that" Jin backhanded Neiz as blood flew out the mouth of the alien.
"Gah… n-no? W-why would I?" Neiz spat out a tooth.
"Huh… guess your better than most" Jin blinked.
"Now, why're your here?" Jin asked.
"Heh, we're here to avenge Freiza, do you think that your actions will not go unpunished? The honor of the Cold Family will not be tainted ever!" Neiz cackled as Jin deadpanned, he's a feeling he should know the Cold family but he doesn't.
"Wow, cool story, what's next? You're gonna tell me your life stroy?" Jin sarcastically spoke as he lifted the ailen up a bit higher.
"…do you?"
"By the Kai's" Jin felt annoyed as he dropped Neiz and kicked him in the gut, he didn't like this guy at all.
Reaching down he picked the guy up by his collar again "ugh, wh- what even is a Kai?"
"… don't worry about it"
Jin then attempted to punch Neiz in the head, however like a turtle Neiz's head retreated inside his body. Jin smirked a bit, as he had an idea, pulling his fist back he extended it the slammed his fist down like a hammer onto the retreated skull of Neiz.
This caused a muffled scream as Neiz's head came out and his hands came up and held his now head as tears came out of his eyes. Jin smiled before her lashed out with a kick that slammed into the arm of Neiz.
Suddenly Neiz's bodily locked up as he gasped out, his breath wheezed out as he turned to the side then dropped to his knees as his right arm hanged limply.
Somehow this scene was familiar with Jin narrowed his eyes he swore he saw the Super Saiyan Vegeta but eh, probably a trick if the eyes.
Neiz then suddenly screamed out in pain before Jin back handed him so hard Neiz's left eye poped out as his body retreated into a rock face, Jin sighed as he felt… that this was lackluster in all honesty.
Blinking he saw the bent body of Neiz in the rock face, the best way to explain it was a color of brown mixed with the color of purple and bone.
Sighing at Neiz's dead body he turned to Gohan who was toying with his own alien Jin could only sigh in annoyance, he's a feeling this is going to be a trend to him.
———————
Cooler was annoyed, this planet was far too lively for his own pleasure, he'd rather just destroy the planet but then if he do that he couldn't really say he'd recover his family's honor.
Either way he'd rather kill the Saiyan with his own two hands, doesn't matter if it's a thousand people in the crossfire.
They matter little when it comes to things like this.
Cooler's eyes glanced up at the screen as Neiz's scouter died out, Neiz died. This means little in the grand scheme of things but he's not going to stay on This ship any longer!
Cooler started to smile as he descended on the planet.
