Eliminating North Galaxy Pirates (Part 2)

"You're Neiz? What are you doing on Henghe Planet?"

Cui stepped out of the command center, looking up at Neiz in the sky as he asked.

"I'm here under the direct orders of Lord Cooler to kill you, of course."

Neiz replied.

"Neiz, I am one of Lord Frieza's men. If you dare lay a finger on me, Lord Frieza will surely tear you to pieces."

Cui said.

"Too bad, Frieza can't save you now. Prepare to die!"

Neiz declared.

With that, Neiz flared his energy and charged toward Cui.

"Beep, boom!"

Cui activated his scouter to measure Neiz's combat power, but the device exploded the moment the reading hit twenty-two thousand.

"Bang!"

Neiz threw a punch that sent Cui flying over a hundred meters away.

"Bang!"

Neiz quickly caught up to Cui and slammed him into the ground with another punch, creating a five-meter-deep crater.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Neiz then fired a dozen energy blasts into the crater.

"His combat power is gone; looks like he's dead. What a waste, he didn't even last a minute."

Neiz said, looking at the now-vanished reading on his scouter.

"Next, it's your turn!"

Neiz said, turning his gaze toward the soldiers of the Frieza Force Third Legion.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

An hour later.

"Boom!"

After firing one final energy blast to kill the last soldier of the Frieza Force Third Legion, Neiz boarded his spherical pod and departed Henghe Planet, failing to notice that one soldier was not yet fully dead.

"We've been attacked by Neiz of the Cooler Force. Lord Cui and all our brothers are dead. My Lord, please avenge us."

The soldier picked up a discarded scouter and spoke into it.

Having said that, the soldier succumbed to his severe injuries and died.

"Report, my Lord. The Third Legion was attacked by Neiz of the Cooler Force. Lord Cui and all the soldiers of the Third Legion have been killed in action."

Inside a massive spaceship, a soldier approached Frieza and reported.

"Cooler, it seems you are determined to set yourself against This Seat. Pass on my order: accelerate our march. We must wipe out the space pirates on Longji Planet before Cooler's reinforcements arrive!"

Frieza commanded.

"Yes!"

Dodoria and the others shouted.

The Frieza Force ship then sped toward Longji Planet.

"How much longer until we reach Longji Planet?"

Inside a massive spaceship, Cooler sat upon his throne and asked Shaviza, who stood at his side.

"Reporting to my Lord, at least two more days."

Shaviza replied.

"How far are Frieza and his men from Longji Planet?"

Cooler asked.

"Reporting to my Lord, we should be able to arrive at Longji Planet before Frieza."

Shaviza said.

"It is not a matter of 'should,' we must arrive at Longji Planet before Frieza. Pass on my order: full speed ahead to Longji Planet."

Cooler commanded.

"Yes!"

Shaviza replied.

February 21st, Kara Planet.

"Prince Leige, we have arrived at Kara Planet."

Tagoma arrived outside Leige's room and called out.

"Understood."

Leige replied.

After speaking, Leige donned his battle armor and led Tagoma and the others toward the Space Pirate headquarters on Kara Planet.

Twenty kilometers outside the Space Pirate 5th Army command center, at the Riksa Defense Line.

"General, it's bad! A large number of enemies have been spotted heading toward the command center."

A green lizard-man reported.

"Quick, tell the brothers to hit them hard the moment they make contact! Also, send a transmission to headquarters requesting reinforcements,"

A crocodile-man ordered.

"Yes!"

The lizard-man replied.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Space Pirates on Kara Planet opened fire with laser rifles and cannons, attacking Leige and the Fourth Legion he led.

"Retreat!"

Leige shouted.

As soon as he finished shouting, Leige ran back to the spaceship.

"Prince Leige has retreated. Should we pull back too?"

A red-skinned minotaur asked Tagoma.

"Shisami, the Great King only ordered us to follow Prince Leige to Kara Planet to keep an eye on him. We must still obey the Prince's orders. Retreat."

Tagoma said.

With that, Tagoma and Shisami led the soldiers of the Fourth Legion back to the spaceship.

"Regimental Commander, they've retreated. Should we pursue?"

A soldier asked the man wearing the commander's uniform.

"I will request instructions from the General first."

The commander replied.

"General Tashi, this is Lido, Commander of the 12th Regiment, 5th Brigade, 1st Division. The enemy has retreated; should we pursue?"

Lido spoke into the intercom to Tashi.

"Commander Lido, we have just received intelligence that the enemy is the Frieza Force's Fourth Legion. Although their commander, Leige, is just a child, he is assisted by Tagoma and Shisami, so do not let your guard down. I have already requested reinforcements from headquarters; the boss says we must hold out until the Cooler Force arrives."

Tashi replied from the other end of the intercom.

"Yes."

Lido said.

Frieza Force Fourth Legion temporary command post.

"Prince Leige, we could have clearly wiped out those space pirates. Why did you order us to retreat?"

Shisami asked.

"The space pirates are not weak. If we go head-to-head with them, even if we manage to wipe them out, our army will suffer heavy losses. Therefore, we must use strategy to eliminate them."

Leige said.

"Prince Leige, how do you suggest we proceed?"

Tagoma asked.

"Tagoma, at 20:00 tonight, you will lead the 19th and 21st Divisions to launch a surprise attack on the Riksa Defense Line. You are to lose, not win. If the space pirates pursue you, retreat back toward the spaceship."

Leige ordered.

"Yes."

Tagoma replied.

"Report! Prince Leige, we have just received intelligence that Cooler has sent Shaviza to lead the 39th Regiment to support the space pirates. They are expected to arrive at Kara Planet in three hours."

A soldier approached Leige and reported.

"I didn't expect Cooler's forces to arrive so quickly, and with a formidable enemy like Shaviza at that. Prince Leige, should we request reinforcements from the Great King?"

Tagoma asked.

He and Shisami combined could not defeat Shaviza.

"Shaviza only has one regiment of troops. We will attack the space pirate command center in one hour. When Shaviza arrives, I will lure him away, and you will be responsible for wiping out the 39th Regiment he brings with him."

Leige said.

"Prince Leige, that is too dangerous. To my knowledge, Shaviza's combat power is 170,000, which is 50,000 higher than Captain Ginyu."

Tagoma spoke.

He wasn't truly worried about Leige's safety; he was worried that if something happened to Leige, Frieza would kill him.

"Shisami, you lead the Third Division and Fourth Division to set an ambush in Nisan Valley. I will lure Shaviza into the valley, and once he enters, he won't be leaving alive."

Leige said.

"Understood."

Tagoma and the others replied.

Three hours later.

"Lord Shaviza, we have arrived at Kara Planet."

A dinosaur-man said to Shaviza.

"Leave one company to guard the spaceship, the rest follow me."

Shaviza said.

Outside the Space Pirate 5th Army command post.

"Prince Leige, the Cooler Force has arrived."

A soldier ran to Leige's side and reported.

"How far are they?"

Leige asked.

"Less than ten kilometers away."

The soldier said.

"Tell the men, retreat!"

Leige ordered.

"Yes, sir."

The soldier replied.

"Commander, the Frieza Force is retreating. Should we pursue?"

The lizard-man looked at Lido and asked.

"Report, Commander! General Tashi has sent word that the Cooler Force has arrived. He orders us to join them in annihilating Frieza's Fourth Legion."

A soldier approached Lido and said.

"Pass on my orders: leave one company to guard the defensive line, and the rest follow me to wipe out Frieza's Fourth Legion. Charge!"

Lido commanded.

With that, Lido led his men in pursuit of Leige and his forces.

Ten minutes later.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Frieza's Fourth Legion and Cooler's 39th Regiment clashed.

"Boom!"

Shaviza hurled an energy blast into the Fourth Legion, killing many.

"Boom!"

Leige also fired several energy blasts toward Cooler's 39th Regiment.

"So you're Leige?"

Shaviza looked at Leige in the distance and asked.

"And you must be Shaviza, the eternal runner-up of the Cooler Force?"

Leige mocked.

"Who are you calling a runner-up! I am the strongest member of Cooler's Armored Squadron!"

Shaviza retorted.

"You have a younger brother named Savik, don't you?"

Leige said.

"What, you know my brother too?"

Shaviza asked.

"Let me tell you something: your brother Savik was killed by me. I'll be sending you to reunite with him very soon."

Leige continued to provoke Shaviza.

"You're courting death!"

Shaviza roared.

Shaviza finished speaking and flew rapidly toward Leige, who led him toward Nisan Valley as planned.

Twenty minutes later, outside Nisan Valley.

"Eternal second-place Shaviza, if you've got the guts, come and chase this prince, eternal second-place Sha-vi-za!"

Leige said.

Leige flew into Nisan Valley immediately after speaking.

"Baka yarou, I'm going to tear you into a thousand pieces!"

Shaviza roared in anger.

Shaviza flew into Nisan Valley as well.

"Bang!"

Shaviza caught up to Leige and punched him in the face, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Bang!"

Shaviza threw another punch at Leige, but Leige met it with a punch of his own, and the two locked hands, beginning to flare their energy.

"Beep... 22,000, 35,000, 90,000, 120,000, 180,000, Nani! The combat power is still rising."

Shaviza said, staring at the numbers on his scouter.

"Hah!"

"Boom!"

Leige let out a loud shout, raising his combat power to 500,000. Shaviza's scouter exploded instantly, and the scouter of the lurking Shisami exploded as well.

"Shaviza's combat power is actually that high? Prince Leige has been able to hold out for so long."

Shisami said.

Because Leige and Shaviza were so close, Shisami assumed it was Shaviza's combat power that had reached 500,000, never imagining that it was actually Leige's.

"Brothers, aim for Shaviza and open fire, but don't hit Prince Leige."

Shisami said.

Shisami fired an energy blast at Shaviza as he spoke.

"Boom!"

"Urgh! You despicable coward, setting an ambush!"

Shaviza said, glaring at Leige.

"Did you really think I'd be stupid enough to fight you in a one-on-one duel?"

Leige said.

Leige broke away from Shaviza and shot into the air.

"Open fire!"

Leige commanded.

As Leige spoke, the Third Division and Fourth Division unleashed laser blasts and laser cannon fire at Shaviza.

"Wild-Bombardment!"

Leige also fired hundreds of energy blasts at Shaviza on the ground in one breath.

Five minutes later.

"One more to finish you off, Flame-Impact-Wave!"

Leige shouted.

Leige fired a red energy wave into the swirling dust.

"Shaviza should be dead beyond dead by now."

Leige said.

"Host, with that level of firepower, even Frieza wouldn't be able to withstand it, let alone Shaviza, who only had a combat power of 170,000."

Xiao Bai said.

Sure enough, when the dust cleared, Shaviza was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a crater over ten meters wide and ten meters deep.

"Let's go, we're going to wipe out those space pirates."

Leige said.

One hour later.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Leige and his forces completely wiped out the space pirates on Kara Planet and the 39th Regiment brought by Shaviza. Before leaving Kara Planet, Leige had Tagoma turn the planet into fireworks.

February 22nd, Longji Planet.

"Little brother, didn't expect big brother to arrive at Longji Planet before you, did you?"
