(Frieza plans his counter attack)
(Frieza enters his throne room with Zarbon at about 11:00 AM)
Frieza: Ah, it feels good to be back!
(Frieza takes his seat. Zarbon takes his place at his right hand)
Frieza: But enough sentiment. To the business at hand. How many soldiers have responded to our call?
Zarbon: We've got about 56,000 so far.
Frieza: That's it?! Hrrr. There was a time when my slightest whim could conjure trillions of men, ready to throw their lives away for me!
Zarbon: The enemy's mind control was very effective. Not many people were immune. We'll have to find a way to reverse it once you defeat Ash.
Frieza: Well, those had better be some damn good men! They're grossly outnumbered.
Zarbon: We're planning to wait another week before our big strike. Our plan is to send in an assault unit to make a big enough opening in the defenses for you to get in without being bothered. We want you to be at full strength when you fight Ash.
Frieza: Excellent, Zarbon. I knew I could count on you. Although it's Ash who's going to be needing all of his strength! Ha ha ha hah ha hah ha!!!!!!! Ah...so what does the attack force consist of?
Zarbon: Well, we've managed to get together a few destroyers, some frigates, and we got a good fleet of-
(Zarbon is interrupted as the massive throne room doors are flung open with a powerful crash. Ryo (in his semi armor), Heero, and Trowa enter)
Frieza: Hm? Who are you?
Heero: (whispering to Trowa) So that's Frieza.
Trowa: (whispering back to Heero) He looks taller on T.V.
Ryo: My name is Ryo Sanada. I've come to help you defeat Ash.
(Frieza and Zarbon look at each other for a second, then burst into uncontrollable laughter)
Frieza: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! Zarbon, is this one of your jokes?
Zarbon: No, I didn't hire him.
Frieza: (still amused) Well then, how the hell did you get in here?
Ryo: Your guards aren't really that efficient or strong.
Frieza: Hmm...well, maybe there is more to you than meets the eye. Very well, show me your power.
Ryo: You got it! Armor of Inferno!!!
(Ryo's inferno armor comes to him)
Frieza: (unimpressed) Hm. Well, I don't see why you think you have a chance, but you can get yourself killed if you want to. Hell, it might even be entertaining! Very well then, you may fight Ash just before I do. Now then, who are you two? (looks at Heero and Trowa)
Heero: My name is Heero Yuy, and this is Trowa Barton. We're mobile suit pilots, and we'd like to lend you our services.
Ryo: Heero! It's not good to tell the ruler of the universe that we have illegal mobile suits!
Trowa: Actually, we did some research, and it seems that law we told you about was completely forgotten after the joining.
Ryo: Oh...
Frieza: Mobile suits? That's a bit out dated. You'd better be damn good pilots, or at least ready to die.
Trowa: We're both.
Frieza: Excellent. Now get the hell out of my throne room!!! Feel free to kill those incompetent guards on your way out!
Ryo: Will do!
(The gang leaves)
Frieza: Zarbon, make a mental note: When I once again rule the universe, hire more intelligent personnel.
Zarbon: Yes Master Frieza.
