Iciicla watched as the Z-Fighters prepared for the journey to Kelvi. They prepared their ship for takeoff while getting supplies and food ready. The plan was going perfect except for one thing she hadn't expected. That human engineer Bulma had created a ship faster than her pods. She had expected just over two full-cycles to prepare for Goku. Now, because of Vegeta's mate, she only had about 21 rotations at the most. This means most of her traps will have to not be able to be built.
No matter, she thought, the traps are only to keep Goku's friends out of my way; I'll simply have some of my soldiers continue where the traps leave off. As she thought this her high priest, Subra, entered. She looked at the elderly Pola, shrunk down in his old age with his helm, forearm, and ankle jewels developing the cracks of age. The ancient academic approached her.
"My Queen," he began, "we have begun the upgrades on the Kelvi radiators as you requested, and they will be done well within the timeframe you've given us." He sounded quite pleased with himself, Iciicla noted, too bad she had to ruin that mood.
"Change of plan," she told Subra, "We no longer have the 2.4 cycles I thought we would. We only have nineteen rotations, twenty-one at the most."
"My Queen, we won't be able to-"
"I know that." She interrupted, "Just upgrade the radiators in sector 4."
"My crew and I will try, my lady, but with so little time I doubt we can modify even a few radiators to affect humans, we have so little knowledge of them."
"What of the Namek and the Human-Saiyan hybrids." Iciicla asked.
"I can assure you the Namek will be affected. Of the Half-breeds, I can guarantee nothing My Lady. They are a whole another species in themselves. With their Human DNA there is no way to know what affect the radiators will have. Perhaps if we had more time..." He left the thought unfinished.
"We don't. Just do what you can. Now, leave." Iciicla commanded.
"Yes, Lady." Subra said just as he was bowing out of the chamber. Iciicla called for her attendant a minute after he left.
"Notify the Rocks," she instructed, "to go to Kelvi and prepare for a battle in about twenty rotations."
The attendant nodded as she went to carry out her Queen's order.
Yes, she thought, if the radiators do not get the Humans then the Rocks will. The Rocks were her best soldiers. Sending them to battle the Humans was probably overdoing it a little. But, with these sudden developments, it was best not to take any stupid chances. It will not be long.
Fortunately, she made sure to complete her training long before she even let Rutega "escape" from the mines. Her training, it had opened doors she hadn't known even existed. She had managed to discover a new form to fight in. She trained in this form often though usually remained in Form Four because she preferred it to her other forms.
Goku, it is too bad for you I didn't have to be as paTent as I thought I would. Now you will have to face me while I am still fresh from my training. Iciicla smiled. Perhaps this accelerated schedule wouldn't be such a problem after all. She will face Goku sooner than she thought she would.

Everything was set. The ship was fueled, loaded, and stocked with about ten years worth of food.
That'll last about a couple days with Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and the boys. Krillin couldn't help but smile at the thought. He remembered the first time he ate with Goku, Goku eating more in a couple minutes than Krillin could eat that entire day. He stood by the ship waiting for everyone to be ready. Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Rutega and Piccolo were inside the ship impaTent to get going. Gohan and Goten were being given a tearful goodbye by Chi-Chi, Krillin had already said goodbye to 18 and Marron before coming to the Capsule Corporation launch bay.
Yamcha was at the hatch waiting for Tenshinhan and Chaozu to go inside before going in himself. Bulma was in the cockpit doing pre-flight checks in the ship, which was much longer than the past capsule ships to accommodate more than a dozen people. Krillin hoped there would be enough room for everyone, since there would be a dozen people on this flight. To Krillin's relief, 18 was staying behind to care for Marron and defend Earth in the off chance something happened while they were gone. Chi-Chi finished her goodbyes and Goku's sons walked up to Krillin.
"You ready to go Krillin?" Gohan asked. He made sure he had everything would need before going before saying yes to Gohan.
"Finally," Goten said, "can we go now, I wanna get to Kelvi and fight."
"Then why are you out here?" Krillin asked while walking the ramp. He couldn't resist teasing the boy a little. He was so much like his father he knew exactly what buttons to push. Goten impaTently ran up the ramp into the ship and joined Trunks before Gohan could set foot on the ramp.
When everyone was buckled in and set Bulma started the launch sequence and in a matter of minutes they broke Earth's atmosphere and set course for Kelvi. The Z-Fighters were on their way to save the Tsrufaiya...
