West City, Capsule Corporation, Vegeta's Lab
"Bulma, does this new place have space for my labs?" Vegeta asked, not looking forward to the long trip ahead of him. "I don't want to travel back in forth to from the desert and city to do my research"
"Yep, I designed the building to have 5 levels underground for your labs. But how are you going to move all this to there?" she wondered.
"I designed a protocol called FLR. It allows me to capsulize this whole lab, then use my cellphone to adjust the lab to suit the location it will be relocated to."
"Impressive," Bulma said, amazed. She had to admit it, her husband was smarter than most everyone gave him credit for. He was more than just a brilliant fighter, he was also a very thorough researcher, too.
"Of course, what else would you expect?"
Bulma laughed and walked out to the elevator. Vegeta was smart, but he will always be arrogant.
"Computer, show recommendations for lab expansion. I want better functionality from the holographic and voice interfaces."
The computer showed him a new design and lay-out plan, but much to his dismay, the power it would require for all the upgrades to run properly was much larger than his Dark matter - Anti Dark Matter generator produced. He'd have to find something to get the higher energy requirements.
"Show me the efficiency of the Dark and Light matter convergence opposed to the Dark Matter and Anti Dark Matter elimination process."
Proficiency is equal and 50% less volatile than Dark Matter - Anti Dark Matter reactions. The Dark Matter core can be stabilized when 20% of it is surrounded by Neutral matter. The Light matter core is stable and would require no stabilization. The Neutral matter could catalyse the reactions and generate over 500GW/h every second.
"Good. This might just get that whole City off the grid and supply enough energy to power the entire CC tower. I'll have enough reserve power to have the cores recreate itself in the process."
Vegeta started to work on his device, the prototype already being good enough to power his lab and the GR. While working on the device, he was thinking of the colonies of Saiyans and Saiyan-Human hybrids he found earlier that month. 1200 Husai and 600 Saiyans had already settled in Fire City and they were running the CC at the moment.
The Husai and Saiyans have also integrated well into the society there. The only thing left was to complete his device and complete his work on HTS. He might even ask the scientists to help him complete his project.
Son Home
"Gohan, I've been thinking about this for a long time. You know, the month after you were born I had the people begin reconstruction to the Kingdom. I did it in hopes that you would become that heir." The Ox king looked at Gohan and smiled. "I have never known a smarter, kinder or stronger person than you. You were born to be a leader and warrior for the people."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"This also brings me to the following few decisions I have made. I'll be stepping down from the throne next week, your mother and father will rule until your 21st Birthday," The Ox king said with a smile on his face. Gohan was shocked. Not at the thought of his mother and father ruling, but them only ruling for 5 years. Then he'd have to take over, and rule not only one of the most successful kingdoms, but also an entire nation.
That week, Gohan worked hard to learn as much about fine etiquette as possible. Erasa had joined him on Saturday along with Videl. They both agreed to walk down with Gohan into the main Ball when he was called. Erasa got to kill two birds with one stone this way, skipping school and attending the Ball.
Her father usually only took her mother along to these grand events, but now that she knew the prince, she would also be along. Her thoughts on Saturday was nothing but the ball and the spectacular dresses and successful business woman she would meet. As an added bonus, there were going to be royal families.
Videl on the other had was nervous. She had always been shy and had wanted to be away from the spotlight, but now she actually agreed to go to one of the biggest events the world will see for the next six to ten years! Her thoughts were of dresses and how she would act, showing the highest etiquette and respect towards the royal families.
Videl point of View
This is going to be huge! I can't believe I'm going to one of the girls who walks down with Gohan to the ball. Videl took out her invitation to the ball and looked at it. A slight blush forming on her face as she thought about whom she was going with and where she was going. Hercule walked into Videl's room about to ask her if she wanted to go out for dinner when he saw her blushing at what appeared to be a letter.
"What's that, Videl?" he inquired, hoping it wasn't a letter from a boy.
"Nothing, Dad," she said and tried to hide it, but Hercule grabbed it and read.
"What? Your going to the crowning of the Ox Prince and the Reveal of the Royal Family and sitting next to the prince?" Videl only nodded. "Obviously they wanted my daughter to do this, I am the father of the most beautiful girl in the world, of course. So where is my invitation?"
"The invitation was delivered to me at school by the Royal Messenger. They only gave this one to me."
"WHAT?!" he bellowed, furious at being left out.
"Didn't somebody deliver yours?"
"NO! How dare they not invite ME? How can they not want ME, The Great Defeater Of Cell, World Martial Arts Champion Hercule Satan at their ball?!"
"Maybe your invitation is just late, Dad."
"It better be!" he said irritated and somewhat disappointed. Videl could hear it in his voice.
He's definitely not getting one! Glad I don't have to deal with an embarrassing dad the whole night. Besides, he stole Gohan's credit and dragged their names through the mud. He just doesn't deserve it. Videl concluded. She really loved her father, but after finding out the truth, she had a hard time believing him. She constantly wondered what lies he had told her.
She walked out of her room to the stylist. This was going to be a long Sunday!
3rd person
It was Monday morning and Sharpner was sitting in his usual seat, but neither Gohan, Videl or Erasa showed up today. He was bored and decided to text Erasa when the intercom buzzed to life.
"Good morning, students. As you all know, today is the crowning of the Ox Prince. As they are the ruling family of this district, we shall be watching the event live in the Theatre. Your teachers shall escort you to it shortly. Remember, there are snacks available at the Theatre," the principal announced.
The class had already started to pack up all their belongings and waited for the teacher to take them to the Theatre. When the teacher took them, it was already starting to fill up. The theatre was large and fitted about 1500 people comfortably. The school's theatre was used by the drama and orchestra and was built to have large audiences.
Sharpner proceeded to buy a large popcorn and soda, then sat with the rest of the baseball players.
"So, I wonder how the royal family looks. I bet the queen is really hot!" said the one sitting on his left.
"Maybe. But I don't think so, she's probably old." The Theatre suddenly darkened and the screen came alive. It was showing a vast desert from a helicopters point of view, flying to a city. Fire City was massive, large beautiful mansions, and golf estates could be seen scattered throughout the city. The smaller houses had lavish gardens and exquisite detail added to their gardens. The shopping part of the city had a beautiful mall, white marble and glass, with a golden waterfall in the middle.
The small shops were all modern, yet hand crafted detail was clearly visible within the architecture. The roads and parks were all litter free, and everything seemed perfect. The people all seemed alive and blissful living and working in Fire city. The New Capsule Corporation Building and house of the Briefs Family stood in the heart of the City. Unlike the domed houses buildings that Bulma usually used this was a sleek modern glass and concrete skyscraper.
Then a reporter said, "Capsule Corp is the sole supplier of electricity to this marvelous City. The bright white light coming from the towers peak, is the generator. According to Capsule Corp, it runs on a single Lightuimdidarknik crystal.
"The building was built and completed during last month to prepare for this event. The family then moved in to this magnificent home and office 5 day's ago."
A lot of "oooh's" were heard from the nerds in the theatre upon hearing about this new information. They never knew of such elements, not to mention the bond that formed the crystal.
The camera then went on to the castle, multi-coloured flames majestically danced around the castle, illuminating it. The castle was pure white marble, every detail carved by hand, flowing through out the castle's exterior towards it's interior. The warm browns, oranges and reds that decorated the halls complimented each other perfectly.
Large windows and custom made stained glass features combined the modern look with a little more of a traditional feeling. There were guards, but only one stood at each part, and a furry brown belt was visible around the waists.
Then the camera went to the banquet hall. The view was stunning, the glass ceiling showed the setting sun and mountains. The windows that faced the the other way gave a birds eye view of the City in all it's glory.
Yet this all paled in comparison to the circular floor in the middle of the room. A special type of mineral glass was used to create a floor, and underneath it was fire. Twisting, dancing and just majestically flowing under the floor, changing from purple to blue, then green. Orange and red were always dancing in between the other colours.
A bell sounded in the distance and the orchestra started play an upbeat but dramatic symphony. The doors to the hall was opened and the guests started to arrive. The time was 6 and it was dusk. Limos, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and helicopters arrived. Royal and important business women and men all walked in. The guards ticking off the guests as the arrived.
It was 20 minutes later when the last of the guests were on their way in. Then a loud helicopter came, and somebody jumped down. Just before this person hit the ground 2 smokebombs fell and the person landed in the middle of all the smoke. When it started to clear, said person started to laugh.
"Bwhahahahaha!" Showing the victory sign in the air, the person was revealed as Hercule Satan.
The theatre filled with noise when Hercule made his entrance. His fans went ballistic and the guys admired his style. Hercule proceeded to the door about to enter, but got stopped by the security guard.
"Name and Surname please."
"Hercule Satan"
"I'm sorry, sir, your not on the list."
"Well, I defeated Cell, I'm sure the Royal Family wouldn't mind having me here," Hercule concluded.
"Be that as it may, I'm not allowed to grant you access to this function. Now please leave before I escort you off the premesis. Forcefully," the guard said with a hopeful glint in his eye.
Hercule then threw a chili smokebomb to the ground and ran inside while the guard's eyes burned and he coughed. Students said things like "serves the guard right" and "what's wrong with him?"
"Security protocol 'devil's father'"
Hercule's stunt was broadcast all over the world. Some people thought he was right,while others thought he was wrong to force his way into this. The camera then showed the gaurd talking on his radio.
"I repeat, 'Devil's Father'" said the guard informed the rest of the staff.
"Acknowledged. Tacking immedaite action." A voice over the radio said.
The guard got up and went back to his position, a smirk making it's appearance on his face. The glint he had in his eye earlier had never left...
Boom! I end it right there! Mhmhmhwahahaha! What are these guys planning? A special thanks to DragonLadyRelana for editing my work.
