#and that frieza wiped out planets and kept the strongest warriors of said planets.

About that tag in the commentary...I definitely agree with you there. Like sure MAYBE (a very big maybe) Frieza and Zarbon do have a chummy moment in good days. But people forget at the end of the day, it's all conditional, especially in Frieza's hands. Idk Zarbon's possible prince status could have leverage that, but he's no bestie to Frieza.

honestly you took the words out of my mouth, that's basically how i see their relationship.

everyone seems pretty scared working under Frieza, and rightfully so, and i can honestly see Zarbon feeling the same way, atleast when he's the one having to watch after Vegeta after beating him unconscious. like, him being higher up in Frieza's force only gets him so much i think.

i think you can really feel Zarbons panic after Vegeta escapes, and i feel like it even clouds his mind when battling Vegeta for the last time, because if he doesn't do something about, then Zarbon's on the chopping block... though i definitely have a feeling that even if Zarbon had succeeded in taking care of Vegeta, that things still wouldn't end well for my man.

that said. i kinda wish there was more lore for Zarbon, since the only extra lore we get from him are games and spinoff movies, and it's hard to really know what's true to the actual series, given some movies don't fit anywhere in Dragon Ball's timeline.

Chigo’s story part 4

As the Saiyan pod hovered through asteroid rains and beyond stars, some time had passed. Chigo was still soundly asleep and even the smallest dent or the loudest bangs couldn't wake her. The pod had changed its pace after being a while in space and you could already see planet Vume appear on sight. While closing in on its atmosphere the pod started to shake and crack, like this was the last flight it could still handle. “Closing in on p.. planet Vume b.. be alerted.. p.. pre.. pare for i..mpa..ct... beeb” the pod kept repeating the sentence and every time it did. It missed more words and started to sound more heavy. The moment the atmosphere came in contact with the pod, the whole machine started to shake and with hard hits of Chigo’s head against the sides she opened her eyes. She was still dazed from the hyper sleep and the moment she realized what happened, she took a closer look through the small circled window. All she could see was black smoke. After a loud whistling sound she figured out that the whole pod caught fire and was about to blow. With her heart pounding in her head and her mouth dry from stress she knew that if she stayed put. The blast and heat from the pod would be her death. So she loosened the protection belt and tried to keep her balance as she stood up straight. The moment she touched the sides of pod she could hear the hissing sound her flesh made as the melting metal made contact with it. Her teeth clenched and cold sweat broke free while she was trying to ignore the pain. With a loud scream she pushed so hard the pod cracked open from the top side. As it almost landed and fire consumed it whole Chigo cramped into one to collect her ki and made a jump for it. Just on the break of time she broke free through the top crack and an energy flow exposed around her as a protective shield. The explosion of the pod left a grand impact and the force made Chigo crash on the ground. When she tried to ease her breather and wipe the dust from her eyes. She could see a huge crater shaped gape inside the ground, black smoke and some still set on fire pieces from the pod scattered all around. She sat up and landed flat on her back with her arms and hands spread out feeling the soft soil between her fingers. “I..I just... made it... What the heck! I MADE IT, WHOOHOOO!” she rejoiced with a big smile on her lips. When she finally came by and paced her breather to a slower rate, she forced her body to sit up straight. She noticed a stinging pain in her lower stomach, the hot metal from the pod scraped a good piece of flesh away. She had to bind it with something to stop the blood from flowing out and ripped a part of her dress off. “There there..” She said as the cloth was bound on tight. She looked up and checked her surroundings, there was nothing more than red sand around. Her first destination was a total wasteland. She decided to stand up and feel the natures energy flow around her. To her surprise there were quite a few strong beings around, so she wanted to take a closer look. Right before taking flight she checked back in the direction of the crater, there was nothing left to build up a new escape plan. So the only thing to do now is to look forward and see what the future will hold. With the wind in her back she flew quite a while. Chigo could feel herself grow exhausted and her stomach was growling for food. The closer she got to the energy source, the rougher the land got. It looked like animals ploughed through it from a distance. When she hovered closer she could see that the spores were actually a path made of footsteps. She dropped down to preserve her energy supply and went for a walk instead. Not much later the end of it was in sight and she heard chatter in the distance. She walked upon what seemed like a tiny camouflaged base created from wet sand. So she stopped by to take a look inside. “Hmmmmm I don't remember us having a female crewmember now do we Burter?” ,, “Nope.. This is quite the interesting view Jeice.” Chigo turned around to face the 2 shady men standing behind her. Without even giving a response she kicked the one named Jeice in his face. The one named Burter froze up as he saw his friend fall on his behind holding his bleeding nose. When the view got clear they both noticed her tail wiggle around “A.. A SAIYAN!” they screamed in unison. Chigo looked at them funny as their reaction was a bit odd, but this wouldn't back her down. She bold her fists and took up a fighting pose. 'I'm ready when you are!' She shouted to get their fullest attention. Burter bounced back to create more distance between them and attended to his partner. “She broke my nose Burter, get this monkey to pay!” Jeice taunted when he could barely stand on his feet. Burter nodded and struck a pose "Prepare yourself for the Blue Hurricane! BURTER!" He blew of some steam and created a blast of energy that blew the whole base away with one go. Chigo was nowhere to be seen and Burter felt his stress levels rise and checked his surroundings fiercely for some remains. “What.. where?” ,, “Behind you Burter!” The moment he turned around Chigo stood there and punched him into his stomach, he blurted out some unclear words and passed out on the spot. “Burter! NO! You will pay for this, you filthy monkey!” Jeice also struck his pose and charged towards her “Feel the power of the Red Magma! JEICE!” She looked up cocky and moved forward as well to match his speed “Make me pay? Enlighten me please!” Jeice placed everything he had into his fist and almost scraped Chigo's face as she grabbed hold of his. She still needed him for information so she blew off pressure instead of a ki-blast to secure his safety. The force was so powerful that he got blown back all the way and crashed into his partner Burter. Jeice was not out cold yet and tried to sit up straight with the last bits of strength he still possessed. “I'm... not finished yet....Saiyan!” He looked up in dismay and his eyes matched directly with hers. She grabbed hold of his tunic to lift him up face to face. “Call for your strongest reinforcements to show up, NOW!” She fiercely told him as she dropped him back in the dirt. Jeice did exactly as she told him and placed a panic call with his vision device. Not moments later a spaceship arrived with a huge power source on board. “This must be him.. Frieza”  She said to herself as her heart started to race faster out of excitement.   The hood of the ship opened up and three armored men jumped down. The two on the back ran over to Burter and Jeice to help them get back into shape and the one in the middle with an enormous power level walked right up to her. “So.. You are the one that struck down two of my best warriors?” He asked curious while looking down upon her. Chigo did not flinch once and answered proudly “These weaklings? They weren't even a warm-up!”  They both looked fiercely into each other’s eyes without saying a word. The awkward silence creeped the rest of the guys out and they started to call their Captain. “Captain Ginyu.. do you perhaps acquire our assistance?” At that moment Chigo knew that the man before her was not the one she was looking for. “Darn it, this trouble was all for nothing..” She said while she turned around to walk off. By the first step, she felt the hand of the one called Captain Ginyu rest on her shoulder to make her stop from leaving the scene. She looked back at him and to her surprise he was smiling at her. “It's absolutely extraordinary to be able to defeat my first and second hand of the Ginyu Force! Which means for a Saiyaness you are stronger than you look!” he explained while holding his hands behind his head. “Get to the point already? What do you want from me Ginyu?” She said to pick up the pace as there was a lot to do before she could take off again. “It's Captain Ginyu to be precise! Oh and as the rules go, if you beat my men you have a free ticket to become my first hand in the Ginyu Force! So what do you think of that offer?” Chigo bursted out in laughter “Join you? This ridiculous Rainbow Squad? Hell no! I wouldn't even want to be caught dead with you guys!” ,, “You would even be able to meet Lord Cooler! What about now? interested yet?” Chigo fell silent for a moment as she couldn't fully recall a name he just said even though it had a familiar disgusting sound to it “This Lord Cooler? Who is that exactly?” she asked interested. Captain Ginyu could not believe his ears and he moved up closer to her. “You don't know the Royal Arcosian family even though you're a Saiyan? From what rock did you crawl out of girl? Lord Cooler is Lord Frieza's older brother and he is our savior, our new announced ruler of the universe!” She stepped back in shock not knowing what actually went on anymore. “You seem tired and starving, let's talk while we all have dinner together?” He said worried and the moment the word dinner was mentioned you could hear Chigo's stomach rumble loudly. Her face turned bright red and she scratched the back of her head “That would be delightful, Ginyu.. Thank you!” He nodded and snipped his fingers. The others couldn't understand the way their captain did business, but what he decided to do they followed blindly.
