While preparations for Frigga were underway in Asgard, a new plan against Black was being orchestrated on Earth.
HYDRA SECRET BASE
"Sir, with Black's blood, we were able to extract a small portion of his DNA and make the new serum. We won't be able to do more due to its strange composition, but we will be able to start the second carrier with the same abilities as him," the scientist told the general.
"Very well, it doesn't matter if he is strong, we will have our soldier just as strong," said the general, looking at the vial with the serum.
"Very well, begin the project with subject BLACK 2," said the general.
The scientists prepared the capsule and brought in the unconscious candidate. As they injected him with the serum, they watched as the subject's body began to change dramatically.
His previously normal body began to form and define muscles better, his lack of hair began to grow more and rise defying gravity.
Two particularly large indentations formed on his forehead, and he opened his eyes. A new subject, a copy of the old Black, was born, and who would have thought that he would be the cause of so much destruction.
The General watched with fascination as the subject accepted the DNA, as if it belonged to him.
"It's time to name you. Vegeta Black, that will be your new name," said the scientist as he watched him.
The scientist began to look for the clothes he had decided to give him. They were black, but there was something striking and different about Black. The HYDRA mark.
"Very well, Vegeta Black, it's time to assign you your first mission. And that is to eliminate Black," said the General as he handed him a photo of Goku with his abilities listed and his address.
"By the way, find the Winter Soldier and tell him that his mission has just changed, that he should come to the base," said the General.
"Understood, sir," replied Vegeta Black.
And so he left the laboratory directly to find him, his new mission and a goal that would help him become stronger.
ASGARD
After Frigga's death at the hands of Kurse, her body is taken to the great hall of Asgard.
The scene is marked by a heavy silence, broken only by the restrained mourning of Thor, Odin, and Loki, who learned of her death while in his cell.
Odin, in particular, sits on his throne, consumed by grief over the loss of his wife and beloved.
Frigga's body was placed in an Asgardian boat, adorned with flowers and fine fabrics. It is a ceremonial vessel, not a warship, symbolizing her journey to the afterlife.
The boat was taken to a vast expanse of crystal-clear water on Lake Asgard. The Asgardians, dressed in mourning, gather on the shore, holding small lights and lit candles, casting a warm and melancholic glow on the water.
Odin, with visible pain on his face, gives the boat a final push so that it glides onto the water.
Other Asgardians, including Goku, throw their own lights into the water, creating a shining path that accompanies the boat.
As the boat drifts away and the lights float around it, a column of golden, luminous energy rises from the boat into the sky. This symbolizes the ascension of Frigga's soul to Valhalla, or the final resting place of worthy Asgardians.
The boat itself becomes a funeral pyre, igniting and burning brightly as it ascends, dissipating into the stars.
It was a farewell that greatly affected Thor, and only the flame of vengeance remained lit, something he swore he would avenge for his mother.
"Come on, Thor, it's time to find a solution to this," said Goku as he stood beside him.
"You're right, and I think someone might know a lot about this. It's my brother Loki," Thor replied.
"Follow me, it's time to see him again," Thor said as he moved forward.
Goku followed him and was eager for him to hurry up. He wanted to check the Aether and, if possible, analyze the energy and make it his own.
