Brow furrowing, the boss then glanced across at the head of the dig crew, who he could see was standing nearby wearing an orange high visibility jacket and hardhat. "Where exactly did you find him?"
The manager, Kuze, stepped forward and gestured towards the crater he and his men had been working on. "The boys located his body two hundred feet below the mountain's surface. At first we thought he'd been lying buried here for over a hundred years, but after analyzing the ice cores we managed to fish out of the surrounding landscape, we realized that his body has actually been buried for around six. We suspect it was a flash flooding and a freak storm brought on by his sudden entry into earth's atmosphere that led to him being frozen in such perfect condition."
Turning back to look at the 'corpse' lying in the ice, Kaiser narrowed his eyes. "Did you find anything else while you were down there?"
Smirking, the head of the dig site then pointed to another platform nearby. "As a matter of fact… we did. We found what we believe to be his space craft lying not too far from where we located his body in the center of the fissure." When everyone's attention moved around the crystal block towards the other station, they saw a pod-like vessel half frozen in ice sitting there with the hatch opened up for all to see. "The specifications of the craft match those of the two pods that reportedly landed in East City thirteen years ago and the remains of the one we recovered from the wastelands a year before."
This information brought a big smile to Kaiser's face. After which he turned his attention back to the block of ice and regarded it with a small moniker of admiration and respect. "Then it is just as I suspected. This man is definitely a Saiyan." He then turned and nodded towards Colonel Violet, who in turn directed one of the nearby workmen holding what looked to be a life support box up onto the podium. When the man stood beside the monolith, he pressed the machine up against its surface and began to scan the inside of the icy cell.
While Kaiser's secretary stood quietly on the sidelines with a smile on her face, Vulcan, curious as ever, approached his boss with a deep frown in play. "Is this man anything like those four warriors that were present at the Cell Games, sir?"
Smile still worn proudly on his own mug, Kaiser looked down at his armored soldier with a sly glint in his eye. "He is." Gesturing towards the glacier, he then proceeded to elaborate further on the matter. "I've been monitoring these Saiyans for quite some time… observing their battles from a distance, recording them, and taking careful note of each of their abilities. It's no secret who these people are since they've made no real efforts to conceal themselves from the public. This is mostly due to the fact that the people of this planet believe their abilities to be fictional and a mere 'trick of the light'. But this carelessness has allowed observant people like me to gather some very useful Intel on them." He then turned towards his two assistants, both of whom were standing side by side and were listening to him intently, along with everybody else in the area. "Through my contacts at Capsule Corp, I was able to learn the names and identities of every single one of the planet's super human defenders… a group the head of the corporation nicknamed the Z-fighters."
Violet, smirking widely, placed her hands on her hips and shared a glance with the hulking bodyguard next to her. "That's a pretty cheesy name," she remarked with a shrug, "Still, you have to give the woman points for creativity."
Expression remaining unchanged, the boss turned to look off to another part of the dig site in thought. "This group has been known to associate with Bulma Briefs on a regular basis. A handful of them also happen to be members of her family. Though there are several figures amongst their faction that interest me greatly, it is these Saiyans that concern me the most. I am absolutely fascinated by their power, their ability to wipe out entire planets and civilizations with a single breath… and their capacity to increase their strength to unprecedented levels." He then turned his attention to the block of ice and the figure resting inside of it. "I believe that this one here is another key piece in the puzzle to helping us unlock the secrets behind the gifts that these aliens possess and claiming them for ourselves."
There was a moment of pause, in which all of the workmen gathered around the block looked around at each other in confusion and scratched their heads. Vulcan and Colonel Violet however knew exactly where their leader was going with this and shared confident smirks with one another.
It was then Kaiser raised a hand, placed it against the block of ice, and tilted his head. "However… I'm afraid that this one subject isn't going to be enough. The information from Bulma Briefs' personal files on this particular individual tells me that he is a corrupt sample… a tainted specimen. We're going to need a lot more information on the others if we even have a hope of understanding the full extent of their capabilities. Even a single drop of blood from every one of them isn't enough. I need more." Bringing his hand back and gripping his chin, the boss then turned his gaze skywards in contemplation. "There is one Saiyan in particular that's caught a great deal of my attention… the one that goes by the name of Son Gohan. He has displayed a rather unusual set of skills over the years unlike any of the others that I have on record." He quickly turned his attention towards his bodyguard, who straightened up when he realized his boss was looking at him. "He's taken Videl Satan under his wing as an apprentice and is currently attending school with her at Orange Star High. I would like for you, Vulcan, to go over to Satan City and to have a little chat with him."
A dark smirk formed across the armored man's face. "A little 'chat', boss?"
Slipping his hands behind him, the company magnet faced his assistant completely. "Yes. With your ability to command the God Buster Mark III armor, I have every bit of confidence that you'll be more than capable of defeating him." He then held a hand up and clenched it into a fist. "I want you to capture him… and bring him to me."
Vulcan raised an eyebrow. "Dead or alive?"
The question had Kaiser smirk, "Either or. I don't care how you do it. Break him if you have to. Just remember… no civilian casualties and no unnecessary destruction of property. Got it?"
Face becoming serious, Vulcan lowered his head and bowed in understanding. "It will be done." With that said, the intimidating figure then turned heel and marched his way out of the area.
Upon seeing the hulking warrior head off, the purple haired Violet narrowed her gaze and walked up to her boss, where she then came to stand beside him. As the rest of the staff in the area clamored, discussing the possible reasons why their company owner was so obsessed with these 'alien' people, the secretary faced the man with a stern look and a hard eye. "Do you think it was wise, sir? Sending Vulcan to confront the Gold Fighter of all people? You know what he's like when he gets riled up…"
Kaiser chuckled, "If he gets mad, he gets mad. As long as he gets to fight Son Gohan, pushes him to his absolute limits and gets me the information I need, I could care less about whether or not either of them come out of this alive. It's just one less problem for me to worry about." The man then turned his gaze towards the workman scanning the ice block and nodded in his direction. "How is our intergalactic friend?"
Removing the plug, the officer nodded to the mogul in response, "He's alive, sir… and in perfect hibernation."
"Good," Kaiser murmured before jabbing a finger at him, "Keep him in an induced coma and prep him for transport to my science branch in Central City. Make sure his body is kept completely frozen." Upon receiving a gesture of acknowledgement and watching the surrounding workers bring in portable freezers to keep the block intact, the leader then turned his attention back to his secretary to see her awaiting instructions. "Get me an update on our research & development labs in North City… and cancel all my appointments for the following week."
Violet nodded in understanding, "Of course, sir."
After giving the frozen body one last look, Kaiser tapped his finger a couple of times and turned to his office assistant once again. "And activate all of the other assets. Put them on standby and wait for my instructions."
"Yes, sir. Right away."
"Young man…"
Hearing the wheezy voice call out across the quad drew the corporation owner's gaze downwards to see an old man with long, shaggy brown hair, wrinkles, adorned in the robes of a villager and carrying a walking stick as support, approach the podium. He was also accompanied by several other similarly dressed men and a little girl with curly blonde hair and a sweet face around the age of seven. The elder stood at the head of the pack, asserting himself as the leader and identifying to the gentleman as the one to have spoken.
The black haired Kaiser smiled when the old timer ambled up the steps towards him. "Ah. Zalador. How can I be of service?"
Throwing the ice block standing beside the man a foul look, the village chief marched over to the billionaire and set a firm glare upon him. "So… did you find what you were looking for?"
"Why, yes I did," the industrial tycoon exclaimed while placing a hand over his chest in a humble gesture. "I very much appreciate you for allowing us to use your lands to dig for this treasure. It has been an honor and a privilege."
Narrowing his eyes on the smiling, respectful man, the village elder ground his teeth for a few seconds in careful thought. He then spared a few glances towards the glacier and the person that was sealed inside of it. After giving it a long, silent look over, and getting a feel for what this great artifact the man had ventured all this way out here to acquire, Zalador frowned and turned his gaze back towards the ambitious hunter.
"Though I greatly appreciate what you have done for my people, vanquishing the monster that's been terrorizing our countryside and bringing prosperity back to our village, there is still something of great importance I wish to tell you," the elder rasped in a serious tone of voice.
The blissfully grinning boss with the goatee nodded, "Feel free to speak your mind, sir. My ears are always open for good friends."
Taking a deep breath, Zalador tightened his grip around his cane and spoke. "Do not awaken whatever is sleeping inside that block." When he saw the businessman and his secretary blink in surprise, the elder frowned even deeper. "There are some things in this world that were never meant to see the light of day. That man trapped inside the glacier… he may very well be one of those things." Pulling back so that he stood side on to the smartly dressed billionaire, the village chief bowed in farewell. "You would do well to heed my warning." With his piece said, the elder then walked his way back down the steps and towards his family waiting on the sidelines.
Watching the village leader limp away, Kaiser narrowed his brow irritably before then slipping both hands behind his back once again. "Come, Violet." He then turned away and stepped off of the platform, closely followed by his secretary.
As they left the workers to conclude their business and a large truck was brought down into the ravine with portable freezers to be set up around the artifact for transport, deep inside the icy prison, no one seemed to notice the finger of the frozen man twitch. To accompany this small movement, a wisp of green energy also ran up the Saiyan's chest up to his face. Before anymore anomalies could take place, the diggers setting up the facility meant to move the monolith began blasting the monolith with ice, keeping it at a subzero temperature and whatever was trapped inside of it asleep.
They did so as per the instructions of their boss.
After what he'd found out about this individual from Bulma's personal files on the Z-fighters and their enemies, the last thing Kaiser wanted to do was wake the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly from his slumber.
