Arthur's Note,
Hello all! I just wanted to thank everyone who supports this fan fic! Also, I'm going to condense the next "three" years of the series into three separate chapters. I really want to start the android saga. Also, I'm planning on continuing this series to the end of the Buu Saga! I might do a few side stories along the way. Review and comment on what ever you wish! Any concerns just message me, and thanks for reading.
Calina's eyes began to feel a little heavy. Her mind began to wander as her head started to wane back. She was exhausted. Calina's mind started to wander; she wasn't completely sure where she was.
" Calina, do you remember when I showed you how to perform a controlled energy burst.. Do you remember how proud you were.." Zero's voice echoed off the walls of a hollow room.
Calina sat Indian style infront of Zero, mind transfixed on the moment she finally felt like a warrior. A small smile crept across her face. Her Saiyan pride starting to boil within her. With a childish laugh, Calina threw up her hands in excitement.
" You just wait Zero, I'm going to become the strongest warrior in the universe some day.. Some day I'll beat Freiza.. I'll become a legendary super Saiyan Zero." Calina took a deep breath as she pushed out her chest and shoulders. Attempting to make herself appear larger than she actually was.
Zero began to laugh and placed a hand down and on her head. " Lets get going.." Beautiful blue piercing eyes looking up at the hulk of a Saiyan. Calina felt a warmth in her gut. She felt safe and warmhearted. Like anything was possible.
Calina's eyes shifted open and she realized she was staring off into the ceiling of Chichi and Kakarot's home. Within moments her nose picked up the scent of food. Slowly she pulled her head forward, her stomach turning. She felt nauseous and uneasy.
" That.. was strange.." Calina thought to herself. Her stomach continued to tighten and she could have sworn she smelt Zero's scent. She felt cold for a moment. Uneasy. But most of all guilty. It was too much all at once. Calina quickly excused herself from the room and casually made her way outside. Closing the door behind her she got sick. Body bending over and shaking. This feeling of vulnerability started to take over her, and with all of her might she attempted to reject it.
Calina pulled her body to an upright position. She wanted to leave, to just take off to the sky and get some release. She was too much inside her own head, and she hated it. Why now, why was her body causing her to go through so much guilt. She missed Zero, she knew that. And she made it a point to repress any guilt or anger that she had to make sure she could carry on. Because that was a warriors duty. To take in what happens and move on. She was a Saiyan, not some soft human.
" Calina, honey, are you coming in? " Chichi's voice rang from an open door. The light from the house flooding the grass that Calina was standing on. Calina turned with a smile and nodded.
" You really out did yourself mom.." Gohan managed to speak as his eyes were glued to the table. Calina kept to herself, she was thrilled that Chichi even approved of her entering her home.
" It's a special occasion, my Goku's home and my family can finally be together. It's a reason to celebrate! " Chichi spoke in a light tone as she pushed some of the bowls aside and put down a frosted cake and some kind of sweet red liquid.
Kakarot had already begun to eat, and Calina couldn't help but stare. Even for being a Saiyan, Kakarot was doing an astonishing job at cleaning the table of food. Glancing to her right she saw Gohan start to eat and watched him mimic his father's habit of inhaling food. Calina's jaw dropped a little. She thought for sure one of them was going to choke.
" Calina, don't just stare at the boys. Eat, I made more than enough on purpose. Go, go on ahead." Chichi spoke from behind Calina and while she passed her she flashed Calina a warm smile. Calina felt her body relax a little, and started to eat.
After a few bites Calina understood why the boys were eating so quickly, Chichi's food was phenomenal, and to think about it she hadn't had a decent meal in weeks. Starting slow she soon sped up and started to eat a little faster.
" Oh I missed having my boys home. I'm so happy! " Chichi raved as she ran a hand through Kakarot's hair and bent down to kiss his head. Kakarot paused eating for a moment and smiled.
" Chichi your cooking is amazing! It's so good! " Kakarot managed to get out in between bites. Chichi's face started to brighten further and she smiled. Calina kept her eyes around the room as she ate. The most prominent emotion Calina had seen from Chichi was boiling rage, so the compassionate side she was seeing now was welcomed.
" Don't get too comfortable Chichi, tomorrow me and Gohan are-" Goku managed to get out before looking across the table. Matching eyes with Calina, he paused.
Calina had stopped eating and her face was frozen in an extremely angry state. Eyes dead set on Goku. Her pupils were almost fully dilated and her mouth was a thin line. Goku paused from talking and began to look a little worried.
" Goku and Gohan agreed to help run you to town tomorrow and make some repairs on the house.. Isn't that right boys.." Calina spoke with a stern look that shifted from Goku to Gohan. Both of the men paused and looked at one another and started to nod.
Chichi started to squeal in excitement.
" Oh, I'm so thankful to have you boys! " Chichi kissed Kakarot's head again before going into the kitchen.
Goku and Gohan looked at you one last time before they continued to eat.'
" ..you don't need to burden your mate with such news so soon Kakarot…" Calina spoke in a low tone, and Goku gave her a small nod. Chichi was in such a good mood, and Calina didn't want to see that get spoiled because of training plans that, for the moment, could wait.
After dinner Chichi started on the dishes and Gohan kept Goku up to date as to what was going on with everyone. Calina brought a few dishes into the kitchen and started to help clean them off.
" You have very pretty eyes, you know." Chichi spoke in a very subtle tone. Calina's sub-zero blue eyes shot up from the sink to Gohan's mother.
The kitchen wasn't very well ventilated and soon a thick steam took over the cleaning room. The fog hung around Chichi's and Calina's feet. Calina felt the moisture cling to her skin. She was taken back with the comment, staying quiet.
" I'm really not okay with my son being so infatuated with another Saiyan, but as long as he's happy I can't say too much." Chichi smiled and looked over to Calina. A little stunned, Calina smiled and nodded, switching over to drying a few of the dishes Chichi had just washed.
Calina was through the roof. Not only was Chichi not threatening her, she was kind-of welcoming Calina into her life. Helping with the last of the dishes, Calina exited the steam room to find Goku and Gohan acting like vegetables and sprawling themselves out on the floor.
" Time for bed! Everyone's up bright and early tomorrow, it's going to be a big day of shopping! " Chichi spoke as Goku slowly made his way to his feet. Gohan did the same thing and with a small wave, said goodnight to Calina. Chichi looked over to Calina for a moment. Body sleepy, Calina's body seemed to be hit with a jolt of electricity, she spoke up-.
" See all of you tomorrow, thank you again Chichi for a wonderful meal! " With a smile and a small bow, Calina turned and left the Son residence.
Slowly closing the door behind her, Calina felt like there was a lump in her stomach. She walked from the home and into the cool grass.
The moon that was out was barely showing and Calina's tail unraveled itself and started to twitch behind her. She felt a familiar itch, her body wanted to train, to transform even. Pushing her instincts down and into her gut she prepared to leave. A little disappointed that she had to leave Gohan without really saying goodbye. Then again if Chichi saw Gohan hug or even possibly kiss her, she would have a melt down.
Calina crouched for a moment before taking off. A cool wind rushed by her face and body. Within seconds Gohan's chi crept up on her and he was flying next to her.
Not saying anything for a moment Calina glanced over to him, wind rushing around them.
" Your mother is going to have a meltdown if she sees that you're gone Gohan.." Calina spoke, slightly condescending. Chichi was just starting to like her, it would be a shame to break that so soon.
" She won't even know I'm out. You wouldn't want to be in that home either, you have no idea what its like to be in that house after dad gets home after a long trip." Gohan spoke flashing you a small grin. Calina looked over and met eyes with him for a moment before they started to laugh and the two continued to fly until Gohan's home was out of sight.
Finally passing over a large forest, Gohan reached out and tugged at Calina's cloths. Looking down Calina saw a small home on an open piece of land. Behind the home was a small river with dense forest.
Calina and Gohan slowed their speed, Gohan eventually landing on the grass near the house, Calina soon followed.
The house wasn't condemned or torn down at all. It appeared to be in good condition and was infact, a little charming.
" I found this place a while back, its just abandoned. I figured we could maybe camp out here tonight. What do ya think?" Gohan spoke and Calina briefly smiled and nodded.
Following Gohan into the house, Calina looked around. The house was dimly lit by the moonlight coming in through the windows. Calina's gleaming blue eyes adjusted to the darkness. Her pupils dilating, taking in any light they could. Calina watched as Gohan effortlessly made his way into and through the house. Beautiful wood floors and wood paneling lined the walls and ceiling. Calina was a little taken back at how well the place was kept together.
" I stop in every now and then to see how the place is doing. Me and Icarus found this place a while back, pretty neat huh? " Gohan spoke with a grin. Calina could see the light from the moon catch off his white teeth. Although Calina wished to know who this Icarus character was, she would save her questions for later.
" This house is beautiful Gohan.." Calina spoke in a quiet tone, feet slowly shuffling through the house. Gohan led her to a much larger room that had some blankets and pillows scattered around the floor.
" I'm beat.. Mom's meals always make me so tired.." Gohan complained as he slowly gathered a few pillows. Placing them in a line he tossed a blanket over them. He then did the same thing again. Placing large pillows in a line and throwing a free blanket over them.
" Your luxurious bed awaits! " Gohan laughed and threw himself down and onto one of the sets of pillows. Calina smiled, her eyes narrowing so that she could get a good last look at the young Saiyan.
Slowly lowering herself onto the pillows, she pulled the blanket over her. Resting her head down on the pillow she began to close her eyes, finally realizing how tired she was.
Calina attempted to stay awake. Wanting to talk with Gohan, maybe see what he was planning on doing tomorrow. But before she could think she was asleep. Warm and motionless in the new place she would call home.
The next morning Calina woke to an empty house, she guessed Gohan wanted to get up and home before Chichi figured out what was going on.
Looking around the room she saw how truly detailed the house was. Beautiful wood paneled every inch of the home, and it was complete with attractive furniture and stunning large windows.. Getting to her feet, Calina pulled her arms above her head and stretched.
Eyes focusing for a moment, as she felt Piccollo's chi close in on the house. With a swift turn she quickly made her way outside.
" Good, you're awake.. Its time to start training. We need to go get Goku and Gohan.." Calina shook her head in protest.
" You go ahead, but Chichi was set on having the boys bring her to town to help her get groceries. I'm going to start training outside West City.. You go on ahead." Calina spoke with a small grin and a shrug.
The tall namekian looked suspicious but eventually decided he would still try to get Goku to start training today. Calina nodded and the two immediately left the area and took off in different directions.
Calina felt the cool morning air push past her face, moments later she felt her stomach growl. With a dissatisfied look she ignored the hunger and began to think about what training the day held.
The dry plains outside West City were the ideal place to train. There were no intensified gravity chambers, no robotic weapons to help hone any skills, but there were also no civilians to harm. Calina enjoyed it here. The dry air and merciless landscape challenged her, made her feel more alive.
Calina perched herself atop a large pillar that overlooked, what felt like, the whole horizon. Closing her eyes she began to power up. Hair lifting ever so slightly, eyes seeming to intensify. Calina powered up her strength and began to do some basic exercises. Soon flexible enough to increase her speed, her body image seemed to flicker as she moved from area to area. Using her legs and arms to help her rebound off the ground and boulders, Calina started to sweat.
" I'm a Saiyan.. this.. isn't acceptable.." Calina told herself, already slightly out of breath from doing some basic running around. Her body began to tense as she started to further power up, her tail hanging loosely around her waist. The young Saiyan female had red training spandex shorts on with a long sleeved grey shirt. Calina's young body had just started to mature, and she could already feel her body aching from her bones shifting.
It was into her sixth hour that she began to really notice how long her hair had gotten. The amount of sweat that had perspired onto her head was weighing down her hair and causing it to brush into her eyes and cling to her neck. It was uncomfortable and it took everything she had to not rip it out.
The desert plains were incredibly dry and hot. The wind was constantly picking up and pushing sand and debris into Calina's hair and eyes. Calina felt the sun begin to burn her skin and decided to push more chi from her body. Air pushing up and around her, she began to focus on her agility, body bouncing from one area to the next again. Small, simple movements done at a fast pace. Her torso and limbs stretching from one area to another. Calina's body paused in a crouched position. Charging her chi she took a deep breath, body seeming to tense for a moment as she placed her palms extended infront of her. A small luminescent purple orb began to flicker and appear. Calina 's body started to shake and she charged the beam further and further. Sweat pouring down her face her arms began to further shake, teeth clenched. Calina's head began to hang as she felt the hair from her face lift. Her power level finally breaking as she felt her chi skyrocket. Pushing further and further she finally released her energy upwards. Calina's voice echoed through the caverns of the wasteland, " KAMEN CUTTER! "
Within moments her body seemed to flicker as she reappeared above in the sky. Legs slightly spaced, Calina put up both of her hands and attempted to deflect the beam. The beam slammed into her hands, and Calina pushed herself to deflect the beam. Body starting to break as the weight and force of her own attack pushed down on her. Calina's body started to shake again. Within seconds she felt her body catch a strange tingling sensation and her tail unraveled from her waist. With a huge push of energy she forced the vibrant colored blast of energy up and away and into the sky. Body collapsing and falling to the ground for a moment, Calina fell to her knees. Her body was slightly heaving, Calina's back began to arch as she fought the urge to transform. Body bulking slightly, she opened her mouth and began to emit a low roar as her front teeth began to sharpen. Eyes catching a familiar red glow, Calina pulled up a fist and slammed it into the ground below her. Breaking the dry crust of the Earth in the process. Although she had fantastic control over her Oozaru transformation, sometimes it over took her will. Calina's tail flickered behind her viciously, as she slowly stumbled to her feet.
Slowly the red glow that had begun to over take her eyes disappeared and she felt her body begin to relax. With a deep breath she tilted her head back. Vibrant blue eyes looking up and into the sky..
" Again.." Calina whispered to herself as she took another deep breath and began to power up. The rocks around her began to slowly levitate, and she could feel her hair lift off of her face. Body flickering and disappearing once more.
Calina trained into the night and through the day. Before she realized it she had been out training for well over three days. Body and cloths torn and beaten, she still attempted to push herself.
Calina ate what she could find, and every couple nights she would make a fire and sleep. Her schedule became routine and eventually she spent over three months training on her own.
" Why.. Why can I not ascend to a super Saiyan form.. why.." Calina began to whisper to herself, her vision blurring for a moment. What else did she need? Calina tried to remember the old tales of the first super Saiyan, the stories about the most elite of Saiyans. Calina wanted it, she would give almost anything to find that power. But why not now.. What was she missing.. Delirious, body staggering, Calina collapsed under the hot sun, her flesh left to bake in what remained of the sunlight.
Calina awoke on a soft, plush surface. Eyes groggily opening, she took a deep inhale and immediately realized where she was. Her nose twitching as she familiarized the scent around her with Capsule corp.
A petite woman with a substantially small waist and mature figure rushed past Calina. Her beautiful porcelain skin and curly blonde hair made he look angelic. The woman paused from her busy pace when she realized Calina was awake.
" Oh goodness! I'm so glad you're doing well! I'll let Bulma know you're awake." The woman gave a small giggle and rushed off. If Calina wasn't mistaken, that woman was Bulma's mother.
Calina sat up and hung her head. She had a sharp pair in her abdomen, and her shoulder had a dull ache. She didn't remember waking up and flying to Capsule corp, or why she was in so much pain.
" Hey there sleepy head." Bulma's voice caught Calina's ears. Soon the blue haired human walked into the room, face glowing with happiness. She walked over to Calina and reached her arms out. Pushing and prodding at her body, Calina shrunk away from her.
" Well I don't know now you ruptured your abdominal muscles or dislocated your shoulder, but it sure was lucky Vegeta was out there training when he was." Bulma pulled her arms away from Calina and put them at her side. Calina noticed how particularly beautiful she looked today. Hair up in a tight bun, she had on a bright yellow sundress with thin spaghetti straps. Bright blue eyes matching the color of her hair.
Calina brought up an arm and tugged at her shoulder a little. Bulma reached out her hands yet again to help. However, Calina bared her teeth and closed her eyes as she snapped her shoulder back into its socket.
Bulma retracted her hand quickly and looked a little startled. " Woah there be careful Calina… Man I will never understand how you Saiyans can put up with such high pain thresh holds.."
Moments later Mr. Briefs entered the room. Upon seeing Calina and Bulma, he approached them.
" Glad to see you are feeling better Calina! I wanted to inform you that the gravity room is finally finished! Vegeta should be back soon from one of his little training trips and if you want to use it before that buffoon breaks it, I suggest you get in there as soon as possible! " The professor was incredibly generous to be letting Calina use such expensive and well-developed piece of equipment. Calina politely nodded and thanked him.
Calina's cloths were torn and her body had bruises scattered all over her skin. She stayed silent for a moment. Rubbing her sore shoulder, she looked a little embarrassed.
" Oh well, don't be shy! Grab some food to eat and get changed. You look like you've been through hell. We have some extra cloths and things in the guest wing. Help yourself." Calina listed to Bulma's words before showing a wide smile.
" Your family is so generous Bulma.." Calina paused, eyes falling to the ground for a moment.
" Hey and if you see that Vegeta you tell him I need to talk to him. That asshole broke my dads last experimental training room. Then he had the nerve to storm off after like it wasn't a big deal." Bulma pointed at Calina for a moment before smiling and getting up to walk off.
Calina stumbled to the kitchen where dinner had been placed out for everyone to eat. Calina's body pushed for her to consume meat, and lots of it. Craving high amounts of protein was normal when training, and Calina was happy to fill her body's urge.
Eerily quiet, the Briefs family was not present during the meal. Allowing Calina to eat in peace. She quickly ate a few plates of food before letting out a huge yawn. Body aching and starting to shut down, she excused herself from the empty room and made her way to the guest wing of the Capsule Corp building.
There were well over 40 rooms that were vacant and Calina had the choice to stay in any of them. Picking the one with a small balcony and view of the city, she started to undress to take a shower.
Stripping off her old and tattered cloths, she tossed them to the corner of the room. Her body was starting to tan from being out in the sun so long. Calina turned on the hot water and stepped into a hot shower.
Ignoring the stinging of the hot water on her open scrapes and bruises, she began to finally relax. Her raven black hair washed over her face and clung to her neck and shoulders. When she would get the time, she would get it cut. For now though, it wasn't important.
After a long shower Calina dried herself off and pulled a large T shirt over her naked body. Crawling into the nearest bed available, she closed her eyes and felt her breathing slow. Within a few moments her body was very still, and she was in a deep sleep.
Calina felt her body melt. Her limbs seemed to melt into the sheets. Melt away from her body and dismember themselves. Her body was exhausted, but all she wanted to was train. Calina's body didn't toss or turn. Her body was dead still, chest barely moving as her breathing slowed.
Calina felt a warm wind push over her. A soft noise seemed to be echoing through her head. She felt, at peace. Calina's mind slowly crept into consciousness as she felt unusually warm. A comforting warm that over took her whole body.
Calina's eyes crept open. Her head against a soft pillow, body facing a brightly colored wall. Calina didn't move, she laid still.
Her senses were delayed, and it took a moment for her nose to catch on.
Gohan lay quietly next to Calina on the bed. Arm over stretched over her abdomen, body motionless. Only a light snore escaped his lips. Calina didn't move, she only smiled.
Calina felt Gohan push his face into the nape of her neck and push a deep exhale onto her. Calina felt her body shake for a moment.
' This is.. so nice..' Calina thought to herself.
Gohan's once short hair had started to grow, and at a fast rate. His handsome long hair had stretched down past his shoulders and was messed on the pillow beneath him. Calina nuzzled her body into his, and she felt him tighten his grip around her waist. It took a few moments before she realized she was just in a long shirt and nothing else. The sleeping Saiyan next to her adjusted himself and put his chin onto her shoulder. Slipping his hand from her waist to her bare thigh.
Calina felt a cold shiver run up from the spot where Gohan touched her. Running all the way up to her spine. Calina was stuck in shock, not really knowing what to do, she could feel her face begin to flush red.
" Go..Gohan..G.." Calina whispered allowed. Hoping he would hear her, but also hoping he didn't. How long had he been there, and how long has she been asleep.
Calina felt Gohan's warm breath wash over her back and through her shirt. Breathing increasing, Calina felt Gohan's hand begin to clench as he started to grab her bare thigh.
Calina could feel the hair on her arms and neck stand up. There was a strangeness that was inside of her, she just wasn't sure what it was.
Gohan took a deep inhale and a quick exhale. He started to whisper in his sleep.
" You.. smell so nice.."
Calina felt another shiver claw its way up her body. She didn't feel herself.
Attempting to slowly nudge her way away from him, Calina felt Gohan tighten his grip on her body. His hand seeming to dig into her hip.
She felt, weird. Her body seemed to be getting heavy and she felt as though.. She was enjoying the way Gohan was touching her.
A little ashamed, Calina brought down her hand to touch his and immediately after Gohan's body began to twitch and move. Calina shifted her body to her back and attempted to slide away from him. With one swift movement Gohan was already ontop of her.
Calina felt his chest slowly baring down on hers. Bright blue eyes wide open, Calina looked up at Gohans half closed ones. His face was just inches from hers, as he relaxed his neck. Allowing for his forehead to touch hers.
Gohan's clothed body was ontop of her almost naked one. Calina felt her breathing begin to speed up. She felt her blood begin to move faster through her body, she felt her back begin to arch as she pushed up her lips onto his.
This feeling wasn't her own, Calina felt like she was in someone else's body. She wanted what was going on to happen, she really wanted it to happen. And clearly so did Gohan.
Calina felt something push down on her, and it took her a moment to figure out what it was. The lungs inside her chest were expanding and contracting at a wicked pace and she pulled her lips away from Gohan's for a moment. Gohan's eyes were fully open, but he still seemed to be in some kind of stupor. Calina started to wiggle in an attempt to get away from him. However Gohan merely pushed his weight further down and onto her. Calina's eyes widened as she finally realized what was happening.
" Right now.. Really.. " Calina snarled as she shifted her body under Gohan's. Every cell in her body wanted her to stay. Her body was literally pulling at his. She could feel her hips urging her to thrust at him. Finally she realized she might be in heat. Theoretically she was old enough, but now? The timing couldn't of been more inconvenient. To add to her already shady situation, her wardrobe couldn't have been a worse choice.
When a Saiyan female reached the beginning of maturity, she went into heat. A one week period, per month, where her body would push off high amounts of hormones. All in one big attempt to get pregnant.
" Go..Gohan.. I..Need you to get off of me.. Gohan.." Calina seemed to stutter whenever she had to say his name. She wanted nothing more than for Gohan to become her mate, but she was far too young for something this substantial.
While she was still able to mentally control her body, she needed to get away from him. She had one shot, and it wasn't the nicest way either.
Calina shifted her elbow back and quickly threw her fist up and into Gohan's gut. The half Saiyan immediately lost his composure and momentarily snapped from his trance. Eyes no longer foggy, he looked down and at Calina.
Immediately his face began to flush as he rushed up and off of Calina. Quickly she got up and threw a pair of shorts on. Neither of them loosing eye contact with one another. Without another word Gohan leapt off the bed and fled the room. Quickly handling himself up and out of the open bay window. Calina was still in shock, and not even a few minutes later there was a knock at the door.
" Hey, Calina! Are you still sleeping? I need a hand with a few things." Bumla's voice was muffled against the thick door that separated her from Calina. Calina's blood was still rushing and it took her a minute to reply.
" I'm… I'm up Bulma.." Calina managed to blurt out. Unsure of what the human woman wanted.
" Awesome, can I come in!? " Bulma's voice seemed to jump in frequency and Calina quickly used her hand to 'brush' her hair. It was getting tediously long.
" Sure."
Bulma quickly opened the door and met Calina with a wide smile.
" Well sleepy head, I'm glad you're awake. I'm in need of some information and I'm sure you'd be more than happy to give me a hand." Bulma spoke with a confidence. Her hair had gotten a little longer and Calina noticed that it was pin straight. A white lab coat covered her body with short jean skirt and a V' neck black shirt.
Calina gladly obliged and Bulma led the two of them from the guest room that Calina was staying in and down to the main wing of Capsule Corp.
The large day area was almost empty. There was a maid cleaning the room, but besides that it was almost eerily silent.
" We're going down to the lab. I just want a skin sample and a little blood. Nothing too insane, but I'm just doing a little plugging away at what makes you guys, you." Bulma continued to talk as the two made their way down to the Lab.
Calina was asked to sit on a sterile table and wait while Bulma get a few tools together.
Putting on some brightly colored latex gloves, Bulma attempted to extract a blood sample. Placing a very sharp blade onto her skin, Calina watched as she applied pressure. Slowly the blade bent and Bulma pulled up the utensil and stared at it. A little shocked, she started to giggle.
" Now why would I think that something like this would work." Bulma spoke as she tossed the bent utensil onto the table Calina was sitting on.
Calina pulled up her hand and ran her nail along her forearm. A thin red line formed on her slightly olive skin, seconds later blood began to trickle out of the cut.
Bulma didn't talk, she quickly collected the blood that she could before the wound closed. Placing a secure plug on the container, she then shifted her way to the other end of the room to a white refrigerating box.
" Fantastic, alright.. Now for that hair sample.." Bulma's bright smile seemed contagious and before Calina know it she was also smiling.
Shifting her body around Calina's she finally decided on getting a good amount of hair from her tail. Calina flinched for a moment, but eventually relaxed.
" You know I'm very surprised you're handling this so well. I know every time I used to touch Goku's tail when he was a kid, he'd freak out. " Calina looked up at Bulma, a little confused.
" Oh, well me and Goku met when we were just kids, and I thought he was just some weird kid. But, eventually he grew on me, you know'. " Bulma spoke, her smile shifting to a grin as memories flooded her head.
Bulma wanted to do a few experiments about her genetics. She said it was,
" Nothing too serious, just some boring science stuff. "
She also stated that thanks to Vegeta, she had been able to start making some new Saiyan suits. Calina began get excited.
Bulma noticed and spoke up. " Don't get too excited, its going to take me a little while to finish them. Those suits are a hard thing to replicate, trust me." Bulma spoke with a small smile.
Calina got down from the table and flexed her legs a little bit.
" Oh and I got you something little, nothing too flashy but I think you'll like it." Bulma flashed her a grin.
" Up in the living room I have a few bags that I think you'll be interested in."
Calina was intrigued, what exactly had Bulma brought to give her. Was it some new armor, maybe a dead bird made into some kind of delicious meal? She couldn't wait.
Legs racing up the stairs she made her way to the living room. Looking around she saw the brightly colored bags Bulma was talking about.
She had gotten gifts in the past. For a birthday she remembered when Zero and Torren had pitched in to get her new training boots and a delicious sweet treat. But a gift for no plausible reason, that was new. It excited her and she rushed to the bags and shuffled through them.
Pulling out the gifts, she viewed them closely. They were strangely colored garments of clothing. Looking back over her shoulder, she watched as Bulma made her way up the stairs.
" Do you like them, I figured you were on a new planet with no wardrobe. So, why not right! I kind of needed an excuse to go shopping anyway."
Bumla's bubbly attitude made Calina relax. Turning back to the cloths she had just received, a small smile crept across her face.
Calina suddenly remembered Gohan. She wondered if he would like the new cloths. She then remembered their little episode earlier.
" Hey, Gohan was here earlier.. Did he stop in to see you? " Bulma had reached Calina, and was picking through the cloths she had pulled out and was folding them.
" Uh.. what.. nonnonono…no I haven't seen him." Calina spit out a quick sentence and turned her head away from Bulma. Her face flushing a deep crimson.
Bulma started to laugh and started to show Calina some of the clothing garments.
" I know you aren't really into fashion, but I also know you have enough training cloths. "
Calina smiled and looked down at the cloths Bulma was smiling.
" Thank you Bulma.. I wish I had a gift to reciprocate back.." Calina still smiled as she helped Bulma fold more cloths.
" What! Don't worry about it. You gave me a blood sample, that's more than enough. I've been trying for months to get one off of Vegeta, but he's always being a sarcastic ass."
Bulma's face hardened a little when she brought up the prince's name. Calina helped Bulma pick up the empty bags and brought the clothing to her room and put away the garments.
While Bulma went to leave Calina's guest room she mentioned the gravity chamber.
" By the way, Vegeta should be back any day. If I were you I'd try to get in there and train before he breaks it again.." With a small wave she closed the door behind her. Calina looked over the cloths and noticed how nice they were. The fabric was so soft..
Calina decided it was probably a good idea to take her mind of everything and get some more training in.
" I need to become stronger.." Calina pressed herself in her mind. A small smile crept across her face as she remembered her little run in with Gohan earlier. If she was a little older, she wouldn't of given it a second thought..
Calina took off her light T shirt and shifted through her new cloths. Bare shoulders and chest feeling the cool air of her dimly lit room.
Shifting her hand on to her bare shoulder, Calina felt a sore stiffness within it. She felt weak, and it bothered her. Quickly she opened up a drawer and pulled out a white tank top. Pulling that over her shoulders and torso she then searched a pair of small training shorts. Taking off her spandex shorts, she pulled up and on the black comfortable shorts Bulma had gotten her. With little to no hesitation Calina left the room and headed downstairs.
Calina picked up a roll of body tape off an end table in the living room. One she was guessing was prince Vegeta's. Heading down a further flight of stairs, Calina made her way outside.
Calina wrapped both of her wrists, and started to wrap one of her bare shoulders.
The Gravity Chamber didn't appear very large, but Calina gave Dr. Briefs the benefit of the doubt.
The sun from above was briefly being blocked by a white flock of clouds. Calina looked up and at the Gravity Chamber. The chamber opened with the push of a button, and Calina watched a flat pad unhitch from the machine and open to the ground. Allowing access inside. Calina quickly made her way in.
Calina entered the giant pod and the door automatically closed behind her.
A woman's voice echoed throughout the chamber. Although appearing somewhat small from the outside, the chamber was quite spacious.
The automatic voice asked Calina what gravity she wanted to be set at. And Calina had to think to herself for a moment. The gravity on Earth was quite light, and she was currently feeling the need to push herself.
"Set gravity at thirty times Earths gravity.." Calina's voice was cold and commanding. She was going to push herself until she couldn't stand any more.
Within seconds the room's temperature seemed to drift and Calina could feel her bones becoming heavier. Her hair immediately pulling itself tight against her face a neck. Calina could feel the weight on her lungs, with a gritted smile, Calina started her training.
Calina enjoyed the heaviness of the air, and it made her feel more like an animal. She loved the feeling of stressing her body to it's limits.
Calina attempted to levitate into the air, and for the first few moments she struggled. Every inch she gained in the air, that much more pressure pressed down on her. Body covered and dripping in sweat, Calina began to power up her chi. Rising it higher and higher until she felt her head starting to spin.
" Computer.. Set Gravity at fifty times Earth's gravity.." Calina spoke in labored breaths. She needed to push herself further then she had gone before. So much further.
Calina's body darted around the vacant space of the chamber. Although the room was empty, it still felt crowded and thick. Calina paused mid air for a moment, watching the sweat pour off of her body in buckets. Soaking the gravity chamber's floor.
Calina limbered up. Executing various punched and kicks, she finally powered up enough to send a small energy wave from her palms. Using her speed to her advantage, her body flickered and reappeared infront of the oncoming chi ball.
Calina bounced and reflected the ball for over an hour before she finally didn't have enough strength to reflect her own attack. The light blow slammed into her with more force than normal. Sending her body flying, Calina held herself up on all fours chest heaving.
" Computer.. set gravity to.. sixty times Earth's gravity.."
