Gravity
After an explanation to those that didn't already know.
Yamamoto: "The saiyan race in trouble and the King intends on making the whole race flee?"
Ichigo: "That's what King Kai said."
Unohana: "My word..."
Soifon: "That ain't good."
Kenpachi: "Some King he is. Err... No offense, Vegeta."
Vegeta: "None taken."
Toushiro: "Somehow I'm not surprised at all by this. When it comes to bad luck, you saiyans somehow always seem to attract the worst shit."
Krillin: "I have to agree with him on that one."
Goku: "I've noticed the trend."
Toushiro: "Which makes you, Vegeta, a freakin' contradiction. Cuz you're the luckiest bastard I know in terms of surviving said shit."
Vegeta: "I've been a contradiction since the day I was born."
Toushiro: "And you're right behind him, Goku."
Goku: "Huh. I guess you're right."
Eren: "That's actually funny. The two greatest warriors in the universe are contradictions to their kind."
Levi: "Strangely that's usually how it works."
Momo: "So are we going to help the saiyans?"
Vegeta: "Officially, yes."
Erwin: "Unofficially?"
Vegeta: "To beat some sense into my father."
Goku: "Bulma said that she's getting a ship ready as we speak. The only question left is who all is gonna join us. I'm going cuz this sounds fun!"
Vegeta: "I don't really have a choice. Nor does Kosa."
Toushiro: "I'm obviously going."
Eren: "I'm definitely going!"
Levi: "Same."
Hange: "Of course!"
Farlan: (Looks to all of the old Scout Regiment members) "Let's make this easy. Which of us doesn't want to go?"
No one of the whole group raised a hand.
Levi: (Looks at Vegeta) "Told you."
Val: "I need to go incase they wanna try and control the saborons too. As their princess, it's my obligation to protect my kind from anyone who deems us and the saiyans as scum."
Isane: "Y-You're the Princess of the Saborons?!"
Val: "Being born at the exact same time wasn't the only reason we were assigned as companions."
Kenpachi: "Well I'm definitely going! This sounds like too much fun to pass up!"
Ikkaku: "Took the words right outta my mouth, captain!"
Yumichika: "Same goes for me."
Byakuya: "I'll go. It'll be a good chance to experience something new."
Renji: "W-Well then I'm going too!"
Rukia: "Same here!"
Kurotsuchi: "As am I. It's a perfect opportunity to study saiyans with relative ease."
Toushiro: "Trust me, there'll be no such thing as easy."
Goku: "Most of our friends have already decided. Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha and Grimmjow are coming."
Ichigo: "I've already made up my mind. I'm coming too. Uryu, Chad and Orihime said they'll stay here and keep things in check for me while I'm gone."
Piccolo: "I asked Ulquiorra to do the same."
Ukitake: "Shunsui and I have already decided to stay and help guard the Earth."
Soifon: "My Stealth Force will be needed more with so many gone, so I'm staying here."
Many others were staying behind as well. Yamamoto too was staying behind, but he wished all of those going the best of luck. It will be another day before Bulma has the ship ready. This gave time to prepare. Nobody knew how long it would take. It could be days before they finished helping the saiyan race or it could be done in just a few hours. Nobody knew, so they prepped for anything. But there was one thing that they definitely needed to prepare for.
Toushiro: "As someone who's been to this planet before, I am highly recommending that all of you go and spend some time in the Gravity Room at Capsule Corp."
Krillin: "He's actually right. Planet Vegeta's gravity is a little different from ours. It's about ten times that of Earth's."
Yamcha: "When we were training for when Vegeta and Nappa arrived, we trained in that gravity too. And take it from me, you'll want to get used to it now in advance!"
Toushiro: "I had some relative difficulty, but I managed. The one's I'm more concerned about are you (points to the humans) guys. We Soul Reapers can adjust quickly. But you guys are different."
Goku: "He's right. I'd definitely train a little in the Gravity Room."
Vegeta: "All of you who want to, come with me. I'll get you prepared for the heavier gravity."
All of the humans like Levi, Eren, Armin and such followed Vegeta to his old Gravity Room at Capsule Corp. Ichigo, Rukia, Renji and everyone else also did the smart thing in joining them. The only exceptions were Val, the Z-Fighters, Toushiro and Kosa who was born on a planet with the same level of gravity. The Gravity Room was fortunately big enough to house everyone inside. Vegeta shut the door and walked over to the control panel in the center. The prince started the machine and got everything ready.
Vegeta: "Ok. Everyone listen up."
Everyone stopped looking around or chatting and gave Vegeta their full attention.
Vegeta: "The gravity on Planet Vegeta is much more intense than Earth's. Earth has a gravity level of 1. Planet Vegeta, the birth and home planet of the saiyans and saborons, has a level 10. To put this into a perspective that you can all understand and visualize, if I was to drop say Levi on Planet Vegeta without any form of training and preparation for the gravity there, the level of the gravity will not only increase his weight, but his bones would break and his internal organs would be put under so much strain that his life would be in mortal jeopardy."
Everyone gasped softly at the explanation, Levi even gulped.
Vegeta: "This is why you need to prepare. This machine will artificially make the gravity in here change. We've got time so we'll take things slow, get you all used to the gravity. Right now we're at 1G. We'll start off at 2G."
Vegeta then programed the machine and waited before activating it.
Vegeta: "Is everyone ready?"
Everyone: "Ready!"
Vegeta: "Ok then. Two times Earth's gravity."
With a press of the button, the machine went to work. In seconds everyone but Vegeta felt a little different as a direct result of the heavier gravity. The Soul Reapers didn't find it too hard, but the humans did find it a little tough.
Vegeta: "If anyone feels like they can't take it or suddenly feels weak, let me know right away."
Conny: "Rgh! I feel like I'm trying to stand with someone as heavy as me standing on my head!"
Reiner: "Me too!"
Hange: "It's not that bad once the sudden sensation is gone."
Levi and Mikasa, who were both naturally stronger than any human from their old world, were the only ones that didn't feel too much of a difference. Once the humans got used to the gravity, Vegeta increased it again.
Vegeta: "Three times Earth's gravity."
Gradually the gravity level continued to increase as the day went by. By about five times Earth's normal gravity, the Soul Reapers were having some difficulty. Vegeta had them all move around, practice fighting and, for the humans, using their Vertical Maneuvering Equipment. Only once did everyone exhibit all the signs that they were used to the current level of gravity did Vegeta increase it by one again each time. Throughout the whole time, the saiyan prince watched everyone carefully. If he saw anyone showing signs of problems outside of the norm, he had to get them out of the Gravity Room immediately. Goku and the others waited outside just for this very reason. Of course Vegeta was the only one in the room that wasn't having any problems. Having trained frequently in 450x Earth's gravity, he was more than accustomed. At days end, the gravity machine read 10G. It was hard work, but everyone had passed. Once they were done, the great saiyan prince congratulated them all, the humans especially deserving applaud. Bulma had finished the ship and everything was ready. That night they all rested well. And first thing in the morning, they set off to Planet Vegeta.
