From space, ships pockmarked around the atmosphere of yet another unfortunate planet that is destined to fall before the massive armada that reigns chaos upon it. The city blended into the local snow-capped peaks is disrupted as dozens of its people, blue-skinned, elf-eared, near-human sentient creatures, desperately cling and circle around for their safety. Frieza, as his final form, sitting comfortably on his floating throne with BerryBlue standing beside him, watching the turmoil on the planet rage on front and center. A short, diminutive, yellow alien with a relatively big head and two antenna on top, Kikono, confronts him.

"Ah don't you just enjoy seeing the chaos reign before you Kikono?" Frieza asks him, "surely the citizens of planet Veabos can tell you first hand."

"Apologies Lord Frieza, but Lord Cooler is here to see you," Kikono informs him.

Frieza has a shocked look on his face, surprising to hear from his brother after so long.

"Really? After all this time taking over the quadrants beyond?"

Setting that aside, a smiling Frieza ponders at the fact his brother is here to see him after all these years and signals Kikono to bring him in. However, the bridge doors open behind him and before Kikono can react, Cooler enters followed behind by the Armored Squadron. Frieza turns his floating throne to face his brother, smiling as Cooler's face remains stern and spiteful. Two brothers at long last face to face after decades not interacting since planet Vegeta's destruction. A brief distance is made between both brothers as tension subtly rises in the room. Frieza decides to lighten the mood.

"So, Cooler, what brings you around here after all this time?" he asks him.

"I'm impressed by how much little you've regained in such short of time after your resurrection little brother," Cooler mockingly states, "I wonder how proud father would be if he was to see you now."

Annoyed by the smart remark, Frieza's face has gone cold as he is urged on by his brother. The two glare at one another eye to eye as Frieza begins to stand in his floating throne.

"What are your motives of being here? It's simply not to catch up with your family."

"I've come to take charge."

Frieza's eyes go wide by that bold statement made. Cooler looks serious and Frieza isn't sure to take it jokingly, knowing of his brother's nature. He steps off of his floating throne and stands before Cooler.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I think you know little brother. I intend to restore the family name, starting by getting rid of you."

In an instant, Cooler fires his death laser from his finger tip, destroying Frieza's floating throne. Debris left burning beside him and everyone else watching in shock in the room, Frieza is frustrated by his brother's actions and turns to face him angrily. Then, without thinking and full of rage, Frieza desperately strikes his brother with a punch that Cooler immediately dodges. The Armored Squadron watch and prepare to fight, however Cooler signals then to be on standby as Frieza continues to lash out at him. Cooler is definitely toying as he dodges each punch thrown but Frieza tricks him before kicking Cooler through the wall in the hallway where they fight once more. Several soldiers appear in defense of Frieza however a death beam accidentally kills them on the spot. Cooler appears disappointed by the recklessness as he sighs.

"You recruit members but quickly execute them, in what right do you feel that you're worthy enough to lead such an empire?" Cooler states, "you're nothing but a child who merely tried to wish to be five centimeters taller. Spoiled and careless."

Frieza yells at the top of his lungs and comes at Cooler with a blind fury as they break throughout the ship, killing many of his men caught in the crossfire. An explosion causes a hole in his ship, sucking out many into the vacuum of space. Unexpectedly, Cooler takes the opportunity and takes the fight out into space where he exchanges blows with Frieza above the planet's atmosphere. Death beams flying everywhere as both brothers collide and descend onto the planet's surface. The surface is already in disarray from Frieza's forces invading with a city in turmoil and a grassy field in flames with the inhabitants running for dear life. The soldiers watch as Frieza and Cooler fly on by exchanging blows and ki attacks in the air. Cooler appears to have not received a single scratch yet as he touches down on a patch within the burning fields. Frieza follows suit, panting exhausted. The expression on Cooler's face is a sense of dissatisfaction and disappointment, giving his little brother a sense of shame.

"In all honesty, I've expected more" Cooler states, "father always believed you to be the prodigy but I can't see it."

"You were always one to loathe at the fact father paid attention to me more than you" Frieza comments, catching his breath.

"Father was too blind to see how much of child you really were, not deserving title over the forces."

Frieza goes in for a punch and Cooler knees him in the chest. He drops to the ground as Cooler gazes upon the turmoil around them on the planets surface. Soldiers firing at citizens while others run in fear as the mountains crumble in the background. Frieza gets back up to face Cooler who has his back turn and prepares to strike.

"A long time informant of mine has told you've surpassed me with a new form is that right? This 'Golden Frieza'."

Frieza pauses, surprised to hear he knows and who could this informant be. Cooler keeps his back turned watching the burning city, not moving a muscle.

"Show me."

Frieza stops in his tracks, clenching his fist as his ki starts to rise and his anger begins to boil. He's come so far fighting against formidable opponents such as Goku, Vegeta, Broly and even Jiren that the sight of his mere older brother pummeling him without breaking a sweat causes Frieza to let out all he has as his energy rises and his body starts to glow.

"Gyaaaaaaaa!"

A golden light shines throughout the darkness as Cooler continues to have his back facing his brother. No reaction. No intimidation. Cooler is unphased, watching everything burn. Standing behind Cooler, Frieza stands changed, powerful, golden and with new confidence. Golden Frieza has arrived. Cooler still has his back turned and Golden Frieza does not take it too kindly someone has their back turned against the self proclaimed emperor of the universe. It reminds him of when Goku has his back turned leaving him to die during Namek's destruction all those years ago. With all of his might, Frieza attempts to charge in at Cooler with a direct blow while he has the opportunity. However, that was all he had left.

"Gyaaaaaaaa!"

The punch landed a direct hit and it straight at Cooler. Frieza pushing his all into that single blow, hoping to have done some damage finally, but his eyes get full of shock as he sees Cooler unfazed. He had turned around during midway of Frieza's charge and took the blow straight to his chest, but nothing happened. Cooler didn't flinch not one bit as he looks straight into Frieza's eyes. Right then, Cooler delivers a huge punch to Frieza's gut before kneeing right in the chin and smacking him straight towards the city with his tail.

Frieza's mind races at how much his brother has changed since they last seen each other while picking himself up. He looks above him to see Cooler hovering above, smiling, before flying off. He wants to toy around some more and Frieza is not having it as he follows right on after. And thus, Frieza's battle continued on. However, his stamina was nearing its ends. On the other hand, Cooler continued attacking without losing any power as if his stamina were limitless. The chases ensures throughout the torn city before Frieza loses sight of where Cooler might be, who appears right behind him and lands a blow straight to Frieza's neck, sending him pummeling straight to the ground below.

Weak and beaten, Frieza falls out of his golden form and struggles to stand as Cooler touches down in front of him while the Armored Squadron arrive along side some of the Frieza Force surrounding them. Frieza lands on his knees unable to stand as Cooler plants his foot straight down on his head. Could he have felt that Frieza no longer had any power left to resist?

"Do you not see who you follow?!" Cooler shouts, "Is it not clear you blindly serve this pushover who claims to be mighty but is merely just child's play?"

He sinks his foot deeper into Frieza, applying more pressure causing him to scream in agony.

"I say to you, the Frieza Force, pledge your allegiance to me and I will restore the great empire my brother could not keep contained. We've lost so much and gained only little but with me as Emperor, the might that those once served and feared will expand once again and thrive. All you have to do...is join me."

The surrounding members of the Frieza Force hesitate as they see their emperor beaten and left to be nothing but a sandbag. The Armored Squadron watch for any retaliation when suddenly, one by one members of the Frieza Force began to kneel in service. Frieza is left shock to see his most trusted and loyal soldiers turn against him as they all begin to kneel before Cooler in servitude. Kikono walks forward up to Cooler and to Frieza's shock, he kneels too.

"Lord Cooler."

"Kikono, I'm grateful for you keeping me up to date on my brother here while I was gone all these years."

"I live to serve."

Frieza is too in shock by the chain of events. He has been bested by his brother who barely flinched and all of his forces have turned against him. Frieza has nothing. Cooler grips him by his head and leans him closer to be eye to eye as Cooler grins menacingly.

"Shame it had to turn out this way brother. However, you were never anything to me in the first place, but I will say you did get a little taller in your golden form."

As Cooler smiles at Frieza, whose face is completely stunned, he blasts his little brother away into a pile of rubble. It was without a doubt, no way that Frieza could've won against this Cooler. After the beating he had given, this much was clear. To Frieza, he represented a potential threat, even bigger than Goku himself.

Cooler turns to face his new army as they salute to their new emperor. The Armored Squadron follow suit as Kikono approaches to bow.

"Sire, what is our next coarse of action?"

Cooler pauses before looking up at the planet's moon in the sky.

"Plot a course for Earth."
