Year 733, December 8, Planet Frieza, Prince's Palace, main hall.
"I heard King Vegeta's eldest son, Leige, was already two years old. How strong is that Leige?"
A horned man only 1.4 meters tall asked.
"Reporting to Prince Frieza, Leige's power level is one thousand."
A frog-like man replied.
"One thousand at birth?"
Frieza asked.
"Yes."
The frog-like man answered.
"What about now?"
Frieza asked again.
"Leige's power level is now about one thousand five hundred."
The frog-like man replied.
"He's only two and already has a power level of one thousand five hundred. Saiyans really are getting stronger with every generation!"
Frieza exclaimed.
"Prince, no matter how powerful Leige becomes in the future, he'll still only have a power level of a few tens of thousands. Compared to your power level of five hundred and thirty thousand, he's like a firefly next to the sun."
A crocodile-like man standing beside Frieza said.
"Leige may not be as strong as me, but who can guarantee that his son or grandson won't surpass me? His power level is only one thousand, but what if his son has a power level of five thousand, and his grandson has a power level of ten thousand? One day, a Saiyan will appear who can surpass me. I won't allow anyone other than Father, Cooler, or Beerus to surpass me."
Frieza said.
"Prince, I think we should bring Leige to our side while he's still too young to know any better and make him work for us. He might become one of our army's strongest fighters someday."
A wolf-like man said.
"I've already thought of that."
Frieza said.
"R-reporting to you, Prince! The King requests that you accompany him to Planet Vegeta."
A dinosaur-like man rushed in and said.
Whoosh!
Splat!
"Urgh!"
Frieza fired a Death Beam from his finger and killed the dinosaur-like man.
"I hate rude people most of all. Next time, remember to say, 'Reporting in!' You can only come in after I give you permission. And you all remember that, right?"
Frieza said, looking at the dinosaur-like man, whose eyes stared lifelessly ahead.
"We will obey your orders, Prince!"
Zarbon, Dodoria, and the others shouted.
King Cold's Spaceship.
"Greetings, Father! Long live the King!"
Frieza saluted.
"Rise."
King Cold said. He stood over three meters tall, had two curved horns, and looked just like Frieza.
"Thank you, Father."
Frieza said.
Then King Cold and Frieza led their troops toward Planet Vegeta.
Planet Vegeta, royal palace, main hall.
"Your Majesty, we received word from the Cold Force that King Cold and Prince Frieza are coming to Planet Vegeta. They're already on their way and are expected to arrive in two days."
A fat man ran into the royal palace's main hall and said.
"I knew they were coming, but I didn't expect them to arrive so soon. You may leave."
King Vegeta said.
"Your servant takes his leave."
The fat man said.
Then he left the palace.
"Summon Dr. Kari. I wish to see him."
King Vegeta said to the soldier beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The soldier replied.
Then he went to fetch Dr. Kari.
Five minutes later.
"Your servant greets Your Majesty! Long live the King!"
Cari saluted.
"No need for formalities. Rise."
King Vegeta said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Dr. Kari said.
"Dr. Kari, I summoned you because King Cold and his party are on their way. They'll certainly want to see Leige. Once they learn his true power level, they won't let him live. So I wanted to ask if you have a device that can temporarily suppress or seal someone's power level."
King Vegeta asked.
"I do, but it will leave some side effects. Don't worry, Your Majesty—the side effects aren't serious."
Dr. Kari said.
"We can't worry about that now. We'll deal with it after we get through this crisis."
King Vegeta said.
Then King Vegeta had someone summon Leige. Dr. Kari took out a headband and put it on Leige, then used a controller to limit his power level to one thousand five hundred.
"Father, what's this?"
Leige asked.
"Be good, Leige. This will protect you from bad people."
Leige's mother, Rossi, said, gently patting his head.
"Bad people? Leige is strong now. Leige can protect Father and Mother."
Leige said.
Although he was only two, he'd spent two years training with the system and could already control his ki. With the system's suppression lifted, his power level would be eighty thousand. He'd gained thirty thousand in just two years. As expected, the Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline was absurdly powerful. He'd had a power level of fifty thousand at birth, while the Legendary Super Saiyan had only had ten thousand. With a power level of fifty thousand, wasn't he a Legendary Super Saiyan? He was even five times stronger than one.
"Good. When Leige grows up, he'll be able to protect his parents."
Rossi said.
"Mm!"
Leige nodded.
"Host, do you know why that person put a headband on you?"
Xiao Bai suddenly asked after Leige returned to his bedroom.
"Why?"
Leige asked.
"Host, it's already Year 733."
Xiao Bai said.
"What about Year 733?"
Leige asked.
"King Cold and Frieza are planning to formally cooperate with the Saiyans."
Xiao Bai said.
"That's not right. Frieza wasn't supposed to cooperate with the Saiyans until Year 731? Why was it delayed by two years? Did my arrival cause a butterfly effect?"
Leige asked.
"Yes, Host. Your arrival did delay some things, but it won't have a major impact on the plot."
Xiao Bai said.
"So King Vegeta put this headband on me to keep their Scouters from detecting my true power level?"
Leige said.
"Unfortunately, they still don't know that you can already control your power level freely."
Xiao Bai said.
"That's thanks to you, Xiao Bai."
Leige said.
"All right, let's keep training, Xiao Bai."
Leige said.
Then Leige entered System Space and trained with Xiao Bai again.
December 10.
Two enormous spaceships arrived at Planet Vegeta.
"King Vegeta, long time no see!"
King Cold arrived on the ground with Frieza and the Ginyu Force.
"Welcome, King Cold."
King Vegeta said.
"Allow me to introduce my second son, Frieza. I've decided to retire, and the Cold Force will officially be renamed the Frieza Force. You don't have to do anything different—just obey Frieza as you've obeyed me. Don't be fooled by how young he is. He's even more ruthless than I am."
King Cold said, patting Frieza on the back.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho! It's a pleasure to meet you all. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Frieza. I hope we'll get along."
Frieza said, batting King Cold's hand away.
"Long live King Frieza!"
King Vegeta knelt on one knee.
He'd sensed an immense power level from Frieza just now.
"Long live King Frieza!"
The many Saiyans also knelt on one knee.
"Please rise. I've brought you all a gift. This is the latest model of Scouter. It can detect power levels above twenty-two thousand. It works just like the old model, but it also has a power-level locator. Beep, beep. There seems to be a pretty impressive power level in the palace. Is that Prince Leige, King Vegeta's eldest son? His power level is already one thousand five hundred. Not bad, not bad. May I meet Prince Leige?"
Frieza said, looking at the power level displayed on his Scouter as he faced the palace.
"Rossi, hurry and bring Leige to meet King Frieza."
King Vegeta said to Rossi.
Then Rossi headed for the palace.
