Chapter 6

Moody the Sensei marched through the halls, was it SO hard to get on time? They started at 8 Am, early perhaps but HEY, it was school!

"Computer, locate the prince."

"Prince Vegeta is currently in quarter 374."

"How many are there?"

"7 life signs detected."

"Asleep I suppose." "No correct input. Redefine."

"Computer out." Grunting and groaning he passed through the complex before arriving before the door. They opened and he gasped at the sight. Of the two matrasses...they only used one. A chibi pile was the result. He had no idea where one started and ended. It looked like a snake pit! Frowning he stepped inside and activated the lights. Didn't wake them though. Where was the prince? Ah a tuft of hair...and a tail there..but arms and feet gone. With the others he didn't even bother.

"ATTENTION!" he roared. Startled shitless they untangled and made a row. "How late is it?" he continued. Sula peered at a clock, winching.

"8.30 Sensei." he nodded. "Indeed, and how late do we start?" he glanced at Vegeta who peered stiff in front. He was the prince...SO? "08.00 Sensei." he stated. Again the Sensei nodded. "Held a little party ne? INTO THE CLASSROOM NOW! UNWASHED AND UNCOMBED!" Feria and Sula pulled their suits back to normal as it had still hanging to their waist and rushed after Vegeta and Solar, with Storn Anan and Aran behind them.

The day proceeded by constant nagging, hounding and insulting form the Sensei's. Even the commander seemed to have a bad day and used th girls to vent. Even the emblem didn't impove his foul mood. Dragging themselves into their room they glanced at the pack all dressed in gala uniforms. Now what? Gala uniforms?

"Not good, gang? Wash and comb them. Finish in 3 minutes counting now. Solar and Storn smirked as they tossed a moaning Feria and Sula over heir shoulder and darting down the hall, shoving once more through the line up, and dumping them in already used baths. The boys instead them weren't too thrilled.

"Shed suit." they ordered. Unwilling the girls eyed the other. Stubborn declining, so they were manually removed with cat fighting. Vegeta snickered when the men returned with two mummies hissing angry. Two tails stuck out and were quite ruffled up. Both were tossed on the matrasses still in the study room as Vegeta watched the next cat fight. The men each held down the girl while the second tried putting on clothes. Vegeta winched as Sula went after an eye. Solar barely dodged and glanced at Vegeta.

"Are you sure their not first class? Their nasty enough..." Vegeta pointed at his chin, Solar dodged Feria's foot barely. He sighed. Nasty bunch. Finally clothes and armour was put on, next was hair. The two each struggled with the lionesses as they tried to untangle the wet mess. Vegeta eyed the time. "30 seconds and counting." In desperation they used a spray ki attack that instantly dried but also scorched some hair. Luckily it was already black so no one would notice.

"DONE!" Storn stated exhausted. "Neatly done, 10 seconds on the clock. I'm impressed. Off to the palace." clueless the girls followed the pack to the palace. No guard stood in their way not even when they entered the throne room...just like that.

Vegeta barged inside uninvited and marched to his father, waving the gang after him. The boys were used to it but the girls winched a bit. Feria remembering the last and first time she had been here. Her whole life had changed then. For the better though. Freeza himself turned at the loud entrance. Zarbon and Dodoria did the same. The group filtered past them and lined up before the dais. Ceremonial Vegeta handed his father the marker. The king took it amused.

"So you chose your pack. Two girls no less? And I know them right? The Napa issue?" Vegeta nodded smirking.

"Their moving up in the world ne?" the king agreed as the pack snickered along.

"I accept the pack as it is now. GET THE PACK BOOK!" confused Freeza impatiently watched as a thick old book was put in the kings lap with a special pen.

"What is this about?" the alien grumped annoyed. "Some formalities about the prince's friends, just a moment Freeza-sama." the king muttered. Vegeta rolled his eyes at his father. JUST some formalities ne? Oh, wait? Freeza can't know? Was he an enemy then? Curious the prince scanned the aliens. It was noted. He would explain later, of that he was certain.

"Lets see, we have...Anan-san, Solar-san, Sula-san, prince Vegeta, Feria- san, Storn-san and Aran-san. It's noted. Okay have fun I have some matters to attend." -

The next months were spend with the pack, where Sula and Feria were trained harder then with a Sensei. Deep into the night they were trained. Vegeta keeping a chart of their improvements in ki terms. On a particular day Feria woke with an entire building plan in her head, including schematics. COOL! She jumped up and nearly collided into a sleepy Sula. Hopping into her suit she greeted her and nearly fell when she tried to pull on a boot at the same time.

"What has you so energetic?" Sula wondered amazed, while yawning.

"GOT IT!!! Plans! Schematic, in my head! GOTTO GO!" still with her suit around her waist struggling. Her top now slightly filling out, she blasted through the door which, had been tampered with before so it responded quicker. When it closed, a howling wolf head was reconstructed. Shoving fellow students away she worked her way through the maze of hallways, not even hi to the four guards who only saw a black blur before it took off straight towards the palace at full speed. A blue ki trail dissipating long after she was gone.

"Training did pay of ne? Who was that?" "I think Bardock's kid." "Feria? Wolf pack? Where are the others?" "Dunno." Solar skited to a halt before the four.

"Was that Feria? Or Sula?" he asked. "Feria." Solar frowned. Why had she run like mad through the building? And why was she on her way to Vegeta instead of telling them?

Sula strolled sleepy to him and dragged him back inside the building, on her way to his room she snatched Aran and Anan too. Storn was already there.

"You probably saw a Feria flash ne? I'll explain, remember 2 months back when..."

Back-flash

"My father worries about Freeza. The scouters we use aren't totally secured. The scientists as secretly working on a new model but it isn't working." Vegeta stated, in his room at the palace his pack sat cross legged on the floor.

"How hard can it be, just make a secure channel." Sula spat. Granted technology wasn't her favourite subject but still...

"They tried already. But all used frequencies are detectable and even scrambled they could listen in." he replied sour.

"Damn..." Feria was very silent as all could see her think.

"Hmm, it should be possible though..." she mumbled. Vegeta snickered. "I know you like to tinker with stuff, but this is even beyond you Feria." she peered nasty up. "You just hurt my feelings. Your wrong, I can do much more then you think. It'll just take some brooding time, sleepless nights..." he laughed with the others, except Sula.

"Then prove it. It's an assignment then. Create a super scouter, with a secure channel, universe reach, and quicker in contact then the old one." Feria's eyes widened.

"Shish, secure channel is daunting enough, but the other additions, you don't ask easy stuff here." he smirked.

"I know, but you boosted your knowledge here, so I say, prove it." Sula laughed as Feria turned beet red. "You and your BIG mouth!" pissed Feria crossed her arms.

"I will succeed dammit! Just WATCH!" they laughed more and talked through some state business Vegeta was bothered by. Feria brooded on, sketching making props and slamming them around without looking. Some landed against pack heads. including Vegeta who gave her a shouting match before continuing.

The following months she was quiet and usually was found deep into the night sketching and cursing in the canteen. Sula even came to the point of staying at Solar's room when the cursing got to loud, also the breaking of furniture was a bit to loud to sleep. Nothing happened though, the pack was closely knit as comrades, no love affairs even crossing their minds. Their hormones didn't even function much yet. -

Vegeta peered up at Feria who was shaking him awake rudely.

"I'M AWAKE! What is it! Did Freeza assassinate my Tousan or WHAT?!" Feria started hopping from one leg to the other hyper.

"I GOT IT!" he snarled at her. "What? A death wish?"

"NO-NO-NO-NO!!! SCOUTER! GOT IT!" "How nice, you have a scouter, like EVERYBODY ELSE! Make some sense!" he calmed, wait a minute...scouter? THE SCOUTER? He jumped out of bed holding Feria down.

"Did you mean the super scouter?" she nodded happily, rattling out numbers, equations, and junk he didn't understand much. Quickly into a uniform Vegeta dragged the still hopping Feria to the science division. Barking the people out he shoved her to the board and she scribbled down formula's schematics and other stuff. When she did the computer used it all for input and formed understandable information for Vegeta. The computer rattled strained under the input. She was a warrior and thus she worked quicker then the normal scientists. Pissed she kicked the machine when it worked too slow. Sweat dropping Vegeta flicked a switch, turning the computer to overdrive. Images flashed across the main screen as Feria continued erasing old formulas and adding new. After 30 minutes or more Feria stopped and pulled up all the crude schematics which the computer transformed into usable plans.

Stunned Vegeta knocked on Feria's head who kept on beaming like an idiot.

"My baby!" she squealed. "And that is all in your head? No meltdown? Perhaps you should get your brain pattern checked in sickbay?" she shrugged him off.

"It has the same functions as a standard scouter, but one huge improvement. Look at this schematic." on two screens a schematic appeared. One cross section on the scouter she devised and a universe map.

"It has all planet information standard inside it, so you have your own map without having to connect to the main web. Also, my most ingenious idea if I say so...normal scouters work with sending stations? Mine works directly, from a to b. take a look at this universe map. You see all stations for normal scouters ne?" Vegeta only nodded as she continued. "Well mine searches the most direct position of the other scouter, and creates a sort of worm hole. It stabilise enough to allow imagery and voice transmissions, but is nearly undetectable by scanners. And I scrambled it so it soundly like space static. BY KAMI AIN'T I SMART! Now I needs a painkiller though...my head hurts." she rubbed it soar as Vegeta hugged her.

"YOUR GREAT! Lets make some." "Wait, I need DNA samples of the others. It will only be usable by that person. I'll add them to a small data file so we can each use the others scouter, but your Tousan for instance not." she sighed content. The computer showing the outside of the scouter. It had a fine silver coloured glass, with a more elegant design then the old. On a button press it showed a simulation, five data streams crossed the scouter glass. Planet information, others in the proximity of 2 star systems even, something she forget to tell...Vegeta thought. Old scouters didn't have such a reach. He grabbed his old and put it on.

"I want my pack here pronto, YES SCIENCE BAY 1!" in 2 minutes they arrived. Already on their way before Vegeta howled them over. Stunned they eyed the large screen while Feria added some smaller details.

"Computer? Will it function as specified?" she asked nervous. This was THE moment.

"Correct, input for strategical bases and details about layout, weaponry, jam device and stationed personal can be added from main database and added. 300 Tera bite space remains on super enhanced chip."

"GREAT!" she chimed. "Add them and all of the known linguistics straight from the databanks too!! Oh and add the known codes for updates to the scrambled part of the chip. That way we can update the knowledge in those fields without detection. Hehehe."

"So...we can now rip information straight from for instance Freeza's database and he won't notice?" Solar stammered.

"Uh huh! Like you can be walking through Freeza's ship, and hear what he yaps about to his Tousan, and he won't notice." she excitedly stated, dancing around the pack in glee. They all flinched when she took DNA samples without asking. Vegeta who already knew about that part offered his arm reluctantly. Nodding she now more carefully took a sample and danced to the computer, humming happily.

"She's like a mad scientist..." Aran whispered bemused. Vegeta smirked. "Hai, but a great one! What she did in three months, our scientist have been struggling with for three years and their still no where near her. I have to brood about it, she said. Shish. And she's a pack member, I'm so proud!" he stated.

"I take it all back what I said the night they joined our pack." Aran stated honestly. "Okay." the others stated.

"Okay, computer Input the samples in the main access area. The sensor in the tap should recognise them."

"Processing...completed."

"Perfect, oh I forgot to tell that it has it's own computer vocal input system, together with a self adapting side to access alien computer systems." she stated gloating. Leaning against the computer she smirked at the others.

"Yep, hard to be such a genius around brutes." she laughed as the others groaned. "Kidding!"

"Yeah right, talking about an ego boost." Vegeta stated. "You should know." Feria snarled back. He blinked as the others laughed.

"Lets see, computer produce 7 alfa's." "Processing...estimated production time 7 hours." Vegeta groaned. "Normal scouters are produced in 10 minutes!" Feria sighed. "Their not as enhanced as mine. And I have a surprises too." they sighed. What more?

Hanging around in the bay they waited for the hours it took. Feria sat hypnotised before the machine who made it. Storn, Solar, Aran and Sula were playing poker, Vegeta meditating, and Anan doing push-ups.

"DONE!!!" Feria squealed suddenly. Sula growled. As Solar was starting to lose. "Finally I win for the first time ever from Solar and now this..." Happily Solar tossed the cards down and rushed to Feria. Sula ripped the pack of cards pissed and strolled after him as the others rounded around Feria.

"Their blueish I found it kind of neat and both for girls and boys usable. Besides I hate pink and yellow. Pink reminds me of dodo-brain and yellow is too happy. Look you can morph the glass, and scouter colour to your own liking and look at the side?" she showed the side as the others eyes started to gleam.

"Wolf head...nice!" Vegeta stated, taking his, as Feria distributed the scouters.

"And indestructible. Inside it's made of bio-material. It regenerates even after a heavy direct blast, it only takes some time. Did I do well enough Vegeta? Or do you still think lightly about my capabilities?"

"No, just took some brooding ne?" he snickered as he put the thing On. It sucked lightly against his head and, amazingly felt stronger attached then the old. When he asked Feria sighed as if it was too easy to explain and he should have known right away.

"Remember the DNA sample? It's attached to your head now. And YES you can remove it. But only you. Just like a normal scouter. Got it?"

"Well excuse me! Miss scientist wonder, not everybody thinks like you." he snarled back. She stuck her tong out and giggled. Each tried his or her scouter out when Storn yelped in amazement.

"I'm into the command's computer!" "I'm spitting through some med files...AWWW a sexual disease?" Anan stated. "Well, well a shame Zippy didn't died then...he was badly bashed by your Tousan Feria." Sula stated. "Aw well...lets see how far these fools were. Oh Vegeta could you put a lock on this file?" she replied. Vegeta nodded and strolled along while checking out Freeza's intelligence reports.

"Computer activate voice restriction Vegeta 3998634 on current file." "Initiated." "Blah...blah...WHAT?! PACK, AFTER ME!" He bolted through the door as Feria shut the computer down, and darted after him as were the others. Lightly panting they skited to a halt behind Vegeta who glared at Freeza. Bowing to him because he HAD to.

-sucks doesn't it?- Sula stated through their new scouters. Vegeta nodded gruff as he stalked to his father, whispering something in his ear. The king nodded stone faced, Vegeta strolled content back down and waved the others after him. Smirking at Zarbon as he passed him.

"You know Vegeta? I don't know why you spoil that child like that. Entering with his friends like he does..." Freeza complained.

"Sometimes he has good idea's concerning some facts. Such as espionage? Know anything about it Zarbon-san?"

"No Sire." The blue tanned male stated quickly.

"Good, then you won't mind Zeolite's cancellation." Zarbon blinked as he turned a bit paler then normal.

"No sire."

"My son and his friends are doing that right now, didn't like him anyway. Always snooping around, now where were we?" Zarbon sweat dropped a bit. His best court spy! How the hell did they know?!

Back at the bunks the others laughed gayly, hacking into systems just for the fun of it. No system was save as the internal computer hacked it without problems.

"Who would have thought? I thought my Tousan killed my mother but it really was a disease!" Vegeta stammered. "Just never believed it..."

"SHISH, some of his tactics really stink." Sula spat snooping through Napa's private files. "Hey gang? Ever heard of a...g...ginuey force? Oh wait I think it's Ginyu?" Anan wondered, scrolling through Freeza's hidden files.

"No?" they all answered, quickly following Anan's trail. "UGLY!" Sula spat when she had an image of the captain. "How does he expect to win a beauty contest with a face like that." She straightened her stiff hair a bit. "Unlike some."

"Hmm, a special destruction force?" Vegeta mumbled. "HAH, I just hacked into the captains files, he loves posing? OH KAMI, look at that picture! In a tutu?" Feria laughed so hard she rolled of the bed. She send it to the terminal and printed it snickering. Showing it to the boys who paled conciderably. The horror!

The whole night was spend scrolling through the computer networks, from sex poses, games to tactical information and mission profiles.
