With the kingdom of Frost being completely removed from the surface of Planet Frost, the people's view on their current leadership had begun to shift. This wasn't something that was frequent or ordinary and an attack on Frost to this scale was something that wasn't expected and simply couldn't be predicted. If anything, the people would've suspected the Saiyan race to make an attack on their great planet but that wasn't the case at all. In this case, it was a complete stranger to them with unknown reasoning. Nobody really knew what their motives were on the attack, nor the purpose of it. They had appeared to come to the Planet for a little bit of mindless destruction only to vanish into thin air. People had been trying to seek out the one who launched the attack but nobody could locate her, it was truly a mystery as to why she did what she did and what her purpose was.

Though regardless of the attacker's reasoning, it had left the planet in a very different state than it was previously. The people were starting to be cautious for this was really the first time in recent history that such an event had taken place and people weren't sure how to take this. It was the first time that the people got to see that their planet wasn't the safest and it was also at risk just like the rest of the Planets out in the universe. Their planet was vulnerable, just like the rest of them and it could face a grave threat at any point in time. It was a very scary thought, one that had previously never crossed the minds of most but now, it was a very real issue. One that would have a very vast effect on mindsets on the planet and even affect the way the planet was operated and run.

This attack didn't just affect the lowest level on this planet, it ranged from the civilians to the soldiers and up to the politicians. This was something that had managed to shake the planet to its very core and it was an issue that was going to need to be resolved. The planet would need some kind of security, something to make it seem like something could be done against such a powerful opponent. They would need to find a way to prevent such a thing from ever happening again.

The fear across the planet was real and almost everybody was now concerned for their very own well being. The soldiers on the planet knew that even as an entire army, they wouldn't be able to defend the planet against such a powerful foe. Though multiple questions about the situation had remained, nobody had known where this attack came from or why they would come to Frost just to do some mindless destruction. Whatever the case was, the less the people knew in this case the more that they were afraid.
It was completely reasonable for everybody to be afraid and people often feared the unknown much more than what they were aware of. Nobody knew when or if this individual would strike again but they were aware that nothing on the planet currently could stand up to it and defend them. Their planet was vulnerable for the first time in years and nobody knew how to feel about it or how to fix it. It was something that would need to be rectified.

Of course, Aisu himself hadn't made any public speeches about it or addressed the situation directly. He was hiding away from it all, staying out of the spotlight. As leader of the Planet Trade Organization, he was being held responsible for failing to defend the planet. Plenty of eyes had been on him as they awaited a grand speech from him along with propositions and promises on how he was going to protect everybody and prevent this type of attack from ever happening again, though the truth was he was just as clueless as the rest of them. He didn't have the power to stop such a threat, nor could all the money in the world hire a loyal enough soldier to put Frost first above their own lives. He had run out of options and hiding was simply the best one for him to use. Of course, that would only be until something substantial had come up and he was provided with the opportunity to change the outcome.

Though he was going to need something big if he was going to turn this entire thing around, it wasn't just the planet that was at stake anymore but his entire political career was going down the drain. The people had lost their faith in him and were looking for a potential replacement, one that would have the ability to protect them and keep their word, for Aisu just wasn't capable of doing that anymore. The fact that he was hiding and failed to address the public had also left a very sour taste in the mouths of many, their leader was afraid with no idea of how to fix this problem. Hell, the leader didn't even discuss the loss of life or how they'd recover from that. Aisu simply looked upon what would benefit him the most and stayed in the shadows. He had the wealth and the soldiers and it seemed to many that he was simply looking out for his own life. If he failed the planet, he still had hopes of saving himself and that was most likely what he was trying to do here. Though it was yet to be seen, time would tell what his true intentions were. Though the people couldn't help but hope that he'd expose himself soon and truly indicate where his loyalties were and what he truly cared about. It was very little to ask as a resident of planet frost and a member of the Planet Trade, but they wanted some kind of answer or guidance from their leadership.

While some leaders had been targeted for their failures and their lack of leadership in the face of a great tragedy, it had left a very vast window of opportunity for others. The lack of effect or Aisu's part had begun to run down his reputation and really show the rest of the planet that he wasn't a capable leader, he wasn't able to defend them nor was he able to even begin to resolve the situation after the Kingdom was destroyed. Their great leader simply focused on himself and nothing more, he was all about self-preservation and it truly showed. Though, unlike Arctic, he didn't play this right. He made it very obvious and the fact that he wasn't even putting on a cover on how to repair themselves brought a lot to light.

With the doubts about their leadership being at an all-time high and Aisu being in the spotlight for being a failing leader in the face of hardship, the general population was open to having another leader and was very receptive to other political parties appearing out of the blue. While Aisu hid from this horrible attack on Planet Frost, Arctic was manipulating the situation and used it for his own gain.
Only days after the city was officially gone, Arctic had managed to start up a new political party to oppose the Planet Trade Organization party directly. Though plenty of their goals were similar, Arctic was making a very different case on how to handle this situation, he was present and putting himself on display through speeches and comforting words to all those whom were concerned. Though his own priorities were self benefit, he was working the public over and truly gaining their trust and comfort as he promised that he would try to do something about this.

Instead of hiding away, he was proposing things to the public, ideas on what to construct and how to rebuild the kingdom and restore the planet to it's former glory, how to properly send off all those lives that had been lost in that one instance of an attack. He was showing a strength and concern for all members living on the planet while Aisu had failed. Arctic was truly managing to gain public favor through his actions and he was finding that a very many people were rallying behind his new organization. They believed it was him who could turn the fate of the planet around and make the planet great again.

Arctic wasn't only promising methods and ways to rebuild what was already lost, he was openly talking about expanding further into the universe and rebuilding their military forces to withstand such attacks so that no opposition could ever go against them. He was playing the public like a fiddle and feeding them everything that they wanted to hear in order to gain more popularity. The people were starting to help him, those with talents would seek him out and request work, his own army had been growing substantially since the attack on their planet, Arctic had continued to gain plenty from all of this, while Aisu had continued to lose it all. The Changeling knew that with public favor, he would have no issues gathering even more support. He also wouldn't have an issue with forcefully overthrowing the Planet Trade Organization and their political figures by force if the people supported it. The attack had given him a very bright window of opportunity and he wasn't going to let this slip by, he was going to play his hand and let the planet fall right into it. If the people needed somebody to put their faith into, he would play that role right until he got where he needed to be.

Of course, the people didn't know that Arctic wasn't much better than Aisu, but they did know Arctic was close with Aisu in the past and even once upon a time one of his closest allies. Arctic would often give Aisu advice and guidance on how to handle situations and because of that, he had become a trusted public figure throughout the planet. People had also known he was rather useless and rumors of his public murders had spread across the planet as well, but that seemed to amount to nothing given the great stakes of current events. They needed that, and everything that Arctic was preaching was exactly what most wanted to hear. He was going to bring great wealth back to this planet, fund the military further, and develop more advanced technologies to help the soldiers and the general public out with their day-to-day life. He was going to conquer more worlds and bring in many more resources, new branches of technology, he was going to fund the planet further and build it up to an even higher degree. It was something the general public could cheer for, something that could actually bring their minds to ease in the face of this catastrophe. He was the answer that they needed and his new Galactic Order was the best party available to them to ease their minds.

Even throughout the last few days, Arctic had a massive following of new people behind him. Only a few days before the attack when he was operating his faction much more secretively, he had only a mere couple hundred people supporting him. These had mostly been soldiers, common fighters trying to secure their spot in his new empire and get paid when the transition happened. Now? Now Arctic was being supported by the fighters, the soldiers, the political parties, members deep within the government, the civilian population and so much more. His faction was growing to the point that from a political standpoint, it was on par with the Planet Trade. He was now their ultimate rival and he was slowly making his way to overthrowing them completely and becoming the one ruler of planet frost.

Though this political campaign and conquest would require so much more than just lies to the public. It was going to need power and strength. Even if he had full support of the planet, Aisu wasn't going to give up his position of power so easily and Arctic knew that he was going to need to remove him by force and throw the former PTO into the past and erase it from the minds of his new followers. Arctic was going to need to train and prepare relentlessly in order to accomplish what he needed to do. Aisu wasn't a frequent fighter, but he was very powerful in his own right. After all, somebody needed a great amount of power to retain such a powerful role in the faction for this great length of time and by the time that Arctic was ready to strike and remove the head off the snake, he was confident that his political agenda would have turned most of Aisu's supporters away in his direction and that he'd only need to deal with Aisu. Everybody else would fall into place under the new leadership that the planet was about to face.

To get to that point, Arctic was going to need to train religiously in order to make this happen quickly. He had pushed his time frame forward by weeks for one simple reason. If he were to wait as long as he initially planned too, he would essentially be showing all those new supporters that he wasn't a man of action and instead one of all words. He needed to make swift action to show the general public that he would follow through with everything he said and keep them as his supporters. What he didn't want to do was stay idle until his new followers began to doubt him and shift their opinion once more.

Though the general public wasn't that important in the grand scheme of his plan, they were essential to the future of it. He needed them to maintain it and extend his reach to all the corners of the universe. Each member that could fight had value, all the researchers and developers had value, just not at this time. When his own rule would come about, they'd be the ones pushing his faction into the future and providing himself and his soldiers with the best of the best. He needed to deliver to them now so when it was their turn, they wouldn't fail him but before all of that could be done, Arctic was going to need to become much more powerful. He was going to be needed to remove the head off the snake and kill Aisu once and for all. He was going to erase the Planet Trade Organization in it's entirety and push it into memory while his own Order would rise to fame and become the beacon of Planet Frost. Arctic was going to push the planet in the right direction, no matter what.
