Hersi

February 15th, Heka Galaxy.

"Prince Leige, we will arrive at Frieza Planet No. 2 in five days."

Zarbon said to Leige.

"Time flies; two months have passed in the blink of an eye."

Leige remarked.

Five minutes later.

"Unidentified fleet detected ahead. Prince Leige, prepare for combat."

Zarbon said to Leige while watching the numerous unidentified ships appearing on the radar.

"Listen up, fleet ahead! We are the Frieza Force. Clear the way if you know what's good for you, or we will open fire."

Zarbon shouted through the spaceship's loudspeaker at the fleet in the distance.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, one of the enemy warships fired a rocket at the ship carrying Zarbon and Leige.

"Damn it! Prince Leige, do as I taught you—wipe them out!"

Zarbon roared in anger.

This fleet dared to attack members of the Frieza Force; they were simply courting death.

"Mr. Zarbon, we are outnumbered. We should fight while retreating; after all, neither of us can survive in the vacuum of space."

Leige said.

"Fine, we'll retreat while fighting. If Lord Frieza were here, he would have smashed them to pieces!"

Zarbon replied.

Zarbon then piloted the ship toward Frieza Planet No. 2 at high speed, while Leige operated the ship's energy cannons and machine guns to attack the pursuing fleet.

Two hours later.

"Boom."

Leige destroyed another enemy ship.

"Hahaha, exhilarating! Truly exhilarating! Zarbon, do you want to have a turn?"

Leige said.

"I'd love to, but do you even know how to fly this ship?"

Zarbon asked, looking at Leige.

"Uh, no. Doesn't the ship have an autopilot function?"

Leige asked.

"The ship has an autopilot function?"

Zarbon countered.

"Look around and see if you can find it."

Leige said.

"Boom."

An enemy rocket struck the ship, though fortunately, it didn't cause much damage.

"Damn it, go to hell!"

Leige spat.

Leige continued to operate the weapons to attack the enemy ships while Zarbon searched for the autopilot function.

One hour later.

"Found it! It actually does have an autopilot function."

Zarbon said.

"Zarbon, I have some bad news. Do you want to hear it?"

Leige said, looking at Zarbon.

"What bad news?"

Zarbon asked.

"The ship's weapons are running low on energy."

Leige said.

"How many energy stones are left?"

Zarbon asked.

"Less than ten. If we use all the remaining energy stones on the weapons, we won't be able to reach Frieza Planet No. 2."

Leige said.

"Let's find a planet to land on first and collect some energy stones."

Zarbon said.

"Very well."

Leige said.

Ten minutes later.

"There is a planet called Ice Flame Planet not far ahead; we shall land there."

Zarbon said.

"This is bad, we are about to be surrounded by enemy ships."

Leige said, looking at the enemy ships on the radar.

"Load the seven energy stones into the weapons first and break through."

Zarbon said.

Leige then loaded the seven energy stones into the spaceship's weapons.

"Boom! Rumble!"

Leige operated the energy cannons, firing a powerful beam of energy that destroyed over a dozen enemy ships, while Zarbon maneuvered the spaceship to speed toward Ice Flame Planet.

"Lord Hersi, they have fled to Ice Flame Planet. Shall we pursue?"

Inside a spaceship, a blue-skinned, long-haired man asked a man over three meters tall.

"Pursue! I must kill them to avenge my elder brother and my clansmen!"

Hersi said.

When Zarbon and Leige attacked Planet Hel, Hersi had been busy negotiating business with space pirates and thus escaped the disaster. By the time he prepared to return to Planet Hel, he received news that Helda had been killed by members of the Frieza Force and that Planet Hel had been destroyed by them as well.

Later, Hersi learned that the ones who destroyed Planet Hel were Zarbon, a top general under Frieza, and Leige, Frieza's adopted son. Consequently, Hersi spent fifty thousand taels of gold and three hundred thousand space credits to hire space pirates to help him kill Leige and Zarbon.

"Savik, go with Brother Hersi to Ice Flame Planet and lend him a hand."

A two-meter-tall, red-skinned man said.

"Many thanks, Brother Dige."

Hersi said.

After speaking, Hersi took his subordinates and boarded a small spaceship to pursue Zarbon and Leige, with Savik and his men following close behind.

One hour later.

"Damn it! The spaceship is out of energy; we have to make an emergency landing. Hold on tight, Prince Leige."

Zarbon said to Leige.

They had used up their last three energy stones to break through the encirclement, and as a result, the spaceship's energy was completely depleted just as they entered Ice Flame Planet.

"Rumble!"

The moment the spaceship landed, it was struck by an energy blast.

"Damn!"

Zarbon shouted as he looked at the destroyed spaceship.

As soon as the ship landed, Zarbon opened the hatch and ran out with Leige.

"Without your spaceship, let's see where you can run now."

Hersi said, looking at Leige and Zarbon.

"Helda? Didn't you die?"

Leige said, looking at Hersi.

He had been certain at the time that Helda's energy had vanished, and even if Helda hadn't died, the planet's explosion should have finished him off.

"You are Leige? Did you kill my elder brother?"

Hersi asked, looking at Leige.

"I am Leige. Helda was your brother? Who are you?"

Leige asked.

"My name is Hersi, Helda's younger brother. Today, I will avenge my brother. Prepare to die!"

Hersi said.

"Beep. Only a combat power of two thousand and you dare to come here seeking death? Today, I'll send you to reunite with your brother!"

Leige said after scanning Hersi's combat power with his scouter.

To ensure Hersi wasn't hiding his strength, Leige had Xiao Bai check his combat power as well, and it turned out his power was indeed only two thousand.

"Bastard, Brother Savik, I beg you to kill Leige. I will give you one hundred thousand space credits."

Hersi said to Savik.

"Shaviza, aren't you by Prince Cooler's side?"

Zarbon asked, looking at Savik.

Zarbon had also met Cooler and his subordinates before.

"I am Savik. Shaviza is my older brother. Although I am not as strong as him, my battle power is still fifty thousand," Savik said.

"Zarbon, let's look for a chance to run," Leige said to Zarbon.

Savik's battle power of fifty thousand was no match for him, but he could not reveal his full strength in front of Zarbon.

"That's the only way. Even after I transform, I'm no match for Savik's battle power. Besides, we don't even know if Ice Flame Planet has a night," Zarbon said.

As soon as Zarbon finished speaking, he and Leige used their top speed to fly toward the east.

"Pursue them! Don't let a single one escape!" Savik commanded.

After Savik finished speaking, he led his men to chase after Zarbon and Leige. Hersi followed as well; he wanted to see with his own eyes how Leige and Zarbon would be killed by Savik.
