Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Experiment X ❯ Chapter 4 ( Chapter 5 )
Chikkuyu-sai; Capsule Corp. Labs:
Bulma Briefs, Michel Corvin and Chi Kuro sat around a small table in Bulma's office discussing the details of Experiment X, the latest product of Bulma's scientific genius to grace her imagination.
"I think that your theory is a stable one and has a large probability for success," said Chi Kuro as she leafed through a ream paper containing all of Bulma's research. "I see no reason not to start on this first thing tomorrow morning."
"Miss Kuro, what exactly, given the information, do you think will be the outcome of this venture?" asked Michel, taking a swig of cold coffee.
"Call me Chi, pleas. Miss Kuro sounds so old."
"Ok."
"I'm hoping the end results will be a whole new species of plant but if we don't then we'll at least have a new hybrid and a beautiful giant pitcher plant."
"Well it's late and I'm sure you are worn out from your trip, so lets rap this up and call it a night, shall we?" suggested Bulma, fighting a yawn. "Chi, your things have been moved to a room down the hall from mine. You are more than welcome to stay here in the C.C. complex, but if you prefer, I could set you up in a Capsule House out back."
"Here is fine if you don't mind me using your kitchen."
"Oh pleas do. Kick my mother out! The tech's are starting to complain about cavities and gaining wait."
"Maybe I should give her some new recipes."
"Ones where the first two ingredients aren't butter and sugar I hope."
"Kami No! I could never keep this figure if I ate like that!"
"While listening to you two is most interesting," interrupted Mike, "it is quite late and I would like to go to bed. So, if there is nothing else to discuss I will bid you a good night."
"Oh, sorry Mike. We're thought for now. Chi, I'll show you to your rooms," Bulma started to lead Chi through the maze known as the C.C. compound.
"Ok, do you have a map that goes with the place, cuz I'm lost already," laughed Chi as she looked around, trying to get her bearings.
"Oh don't worry; I made something to help with that."
"Really? Well I suppose you must have a lot of guests stay here."
"Actually I got lost once late at night on my way from the lab to my room. So many of the corridors look the same, the lights were out, I was tired, and I walked into the wrong room."
"I take it the room was already occupied."
"I'll tell you about it some time but it's to late now and we're at you room. The servo-bots should have all your things put away by now. There's a thin silver bracelet in the top drawer of the left nightstand. Make sure to put it on before you leave your room. It's like a GPS except it's only for Capsule Corp. I guess you could call it a CPS. Ok, that was corny. I'm leaving now." Bulma turned to leave when she suddenly stopped and turned back to Chi. "I almost forgot. The key pad lock is ready to accept any code you choose. Just don't forget it."
"I won't." Chi closed her door, leaving Bulma to make her way to the comforts of her soft mattress and down comforter in the dark.
Vegeta-sai; Launch Pad Five:
"One simple task and you had to go fuck it up." Prince Vegeta stormed over to the main control panel of their newly procured ship, preparing it for departure. "I said a scout ship and you get this fucking monstrosity! Damn it Kakkarot! can you do nothing right! "
"Oh come on Vegeta, its not so bad." Kakkarot's attempt to cool Vegeta down only served to spur him on.
"Kakkarot, there was a reason I chose a scout ship instead of an expedition cruiser. Namely, they're one third the size! This was a stupid idea to begin with. This contraption will be to slow to out run the guard ships orbiting the planet."
"Oh lets just get going. My dad said that this ship is a prototype of the new class Z expedition ships that he designed with the help of a scientist on Chikkuyu-sai. He said it was even faster than a scout ship and was our best bet."
"YOU TOLD YOUR FATHER!" Vegeta was just about to call the whole dame plan off just so he could drag his long time sparing partner's ass out onto the launch pad and beat the shit out of him, when Kakkarot reached forward and pressed the ignition button, conveniently labeled START in big bold red letters, slamming Vegeta back into his chair.
"You idiot!" screamed Vegeta as he was pressed firmly into his seat. "We have no clearance! We'll be targeted by the PDU's1 the moment we reach the outer atmosphere, not to mention the guard ships on patrol and -"Vegeta was unceremoniously cut off by the sharp jolt of the ship braking out of Vegeta- sai's outer atmosphere, coming face to face with two menacing C-class Battle Cruisers. Right about the time he started to think about what he'd say to his more than likely enraged father, the intercom came to life.
"This is Captain Toma of the Battle Cruiser Blood Lust wishing you happy hunting. Over and out." Much to the surprise of the two young warriors the two mammoth ships withdrew enough for the ships autopilot the right it's self and engage the mane propulsion drive, rocketing them off to an unknown preset destination.
Vegeta sat in a mild state of shock for a few minutes before launching himself at his fellow delinquent. "Kakkarot, you had better start explaining what in the fucking hell is going on before I beat you into a bloody pulp!"
"But Vegeta! I don't know what's going on. I thought everything was going great."
"That's the problem you moron! No start talking or I'll-"
"Now, now, my Prince. Let's not be hasty." Vegeta whirled around to find Kakkarot's older brother Radiz standing in the automatic doorway.
"Radiz?! What the hell is going on?! If I don't get some answers I'm going to-"
"Beat me to a bloody pulp?"
"No, I'll beat you to a bloody pulp then I'll genison your worthless carcass out into the vacuum of space and drag you through countless galaxies by you jockstrap! Now unless you would enjoy that kind dishonor I suggest you start explaining."
"If you go into the Captain's Office there's a com-channel open with your father. He'll explain everything."
"He had better or your as is mine!" Vegeta stormed off the bridge leaving the two brothers to glare at each other in silence.
