Vegeta laughed loudly. "Hahaha! You thought you were the only one hiding your strength? This prince was doing the same, and I hid far more than you did. So, Cooler, have you decided how you're going to die?"

Cooler flew into a rage. "You damned Saiyan monkey! Don't get ahead of yourself! Die!"

With that, he raised both hands overhead. An energy blast appeared above him and rapidly expanded, reaching a diameter of dozens of kilometers within moments.

Cooler grinned viciously. "Vegeta, if you dare dodge, this planet will be buried along with you! Hahaha!"

Vegeta silently cursed him as a fool, then pressed his hands together and began gathering energy.

Just then, Cooler hurled the energy blast above his head downward.

The energy blast, dozens of kilometers across, plunged rapidly. Fierce winds swept across Earth, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the ground shook.

Vegeta shouted, "Take this! Big Bang Attack!"

With that, he fired an immensely thick energy wave from his hands. In an instant, it struck Cooler's energy blast and drove it back toward him.

Cooler cursed at the sight. "Damn Saiyan monkey! You're a real pain!"

With that, he fired an energy wave into the energy blast, holding it in place.

King Cold was delighted at the sight. What a perfect chance!

He prepared to fire an energy wave to help Cooler finish Vegeta off.

He had only just aimed his hand at Vegeta when he sensed a flash of sword light around him. When he looked ahead again, a golden-haired youth holding a large Precious Sword stood before him.

He was about to speak when a violent tearing sensation ripped through his body.

Looking at the youth again, he saw that the boy had somehow split into two halves.

A line of blood had appeared down King Cold's body, running from his head to his feet.

Son Goku had noticed long before that King Cold intended to ambush Vegeta.

He had pointed King Cold out to Trunks, who understood immediately.

Then Trunks had transformed into a Super Saiyan, drawn the large Precious Sword from his back, and darted forward. Before King Cold could react, he had cleaved him in two from the crown of his head.

It had all happened in a flash, so quickly that King Cold had not even noticed anything wrong with his body at first.

King Cold cried out in shock, "When did you ambush me?"

Trunks sneered. "When you were about to ambush Mr. Vegeta."

King Cold raged, "Damn you!"

Before he could do anything else, Trunks swung the large Precious Sword in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, several more lines of blood appeared across King Cold's body.

Before King Cold could even beg for mercy, Trunks had cut him into pieces.

Trunks fired an energy wave with one hand, blasting King Cold to dust.

Then he tossed the large Precious Sword into the air and tilted his head aside. The sword dropped perfectly into the scabbard on his back.

Trunks released his Super Saiyan transformation, then flew back to the others. As for the rank-and-file soldiers, they had nowhere to run anyway.

Seeing Trunks dispose of King Cold, whose strength was no less than Frieza's, in the blink of an eye, Piccolo praised him. "You're quick and clean, kid. Your strength is impressive, too."

Trunks said, "You're too kind, Mr. Piccolo."

Piccolo nodded, then looked up into the sky.

By then, Vegeta's energy wave had driven the enormous energy blast toward Cooler.

Cooler gritted his teeth and held on, but it was useless. He could only watch as the energy blast was pushed back in front of him.

Cooler let out a furious roar of defiance. "Damn Saiyan monkey! Damn you, Frieza!"

Then the energy sphere engulfed him. Vegeta blasted him into space, reducing him to cosmic dust.

Vegeta laughed at the sight. "Hahaha! At last, this prince has gotten revenge for all those years Frieza treated me like a dog!"

Then he turned to look for King Cold, only to find him nowhere in sight.

He darted over to Son Goku and asked, "Kakarot, where's King Cold?"

Son Goku pointed at Trunks. "This young man killed him in an instant."

"What? This kid is that strong?" Vegeta asked in surprise.

Nappa said from beside him, "Vegeta, this kid can transform into a Super Saiyan. He should be one of our people."

Vegeta exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Aside from me, Kakarot, you, Raditz, and Kakarot's two sons, there can't be any other Saiyans left!"

Son Goku said, "Are you sure, Vegeta? Have you forgotten Turles, the one I killed before?"

Realization dawned on Vegeta. "You're saying he must be one of our people wandering out there? That's possible. After all, some of our people were away when Planet Vegeta was destroyed and escaped the disaster."

Son Goku replied, "You can think of it that way."

Then he turned to Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Son Goshin, and Son Gohin. "Go take care of the soldiers King Cold and Cooler brought with them. Think of it as some practice!"

Krillin said, "No problem, Goku."

Then they flew toward the soldiers on the other side.

Son Goku explained Trunks's situation to the others. Vegeta said, "What androids? If they dare show up, this prince will tear them to pieces!"

At that, Son Goku thought, Vegeta isn't wrong. With three years of my guidance, he'll have no trouble reaching Super Saiyan 2. By then, never mind Android 17 and Android 18-even Cell won't be a problem.

So he said, "Vegeta is right. The androids are nothing to worry about."

Trunks said, "Mr. Son Goku, Mr. Vegeta, you mustn't underestimate the androids. I can barely fight one of them to a draw. They really are quite strong."

Vegeta sneered. "With your paltry strength, of course you think the androids are powerful. But to us, they're trash."

Piccolo said, "Vegeta is right about that. If your strength is on par with the androids, then they're nothing to worry about. Judging by your fight just now, your strength is less than half of Vegeta's true power, and Vegeta only ranks fifth among us."

Trunks exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Vegeta is that strong, and he only ranks fifth among you?"

Vegeta snorted. "This prince will surpass Kakarot sooner or later."

Raditz said to Trunks, "Piccolo is right. Here, Kakarot, Piccolo, Son Goshin, and Son Gohin are all stronger than Vegeta."

Vegeta said, "Raditz, are you itching for another beating?"

Raditz was not afraid. With Son Goshin and Son Gohin backing him now, Vegeta would not dare do much to him. At worst, Vegeta would give him a good thrashing.
