Chapter 16



3 weeks later the 4 groups arrived at the first base. Changing their signature in common troops of the army. Feria had managed that soon enough. Landing at once they waited for their doors to go open. Stunned the soldiers watched as from each capsule an intimidating SAIYAN? Stepped out, raising their palm and blasting them into oblivion.

"CUT THE COM!!!" Feria yelled, all beams blasted the communications centre to bits as Aran growled in annoyance.

"NEXT TIME MY TEAM WILL FIX THAT!" Shrugging Feria nodded. What ever, as all spread to do their assignment.

Storn stumbled into a familiar face. Stunned the two eyed the other.

"Bjorn?" he stammered. The cook nodded thrilled. "YOU GREW! I thought you were dead!" The elder man slapped Storn's arm happily, as around them Saiyan herded people around, other buildings exploding and screams pierced the air.

"Yeah you too, your belly grew too much ne? Look we've come to take along some personnel to a hidden base, interested?" He nodded. "You bet, the newest ice-jin is just a kid, and boy does he mess about." "Well we found the prince who's now king, and the planet is peace full enough. But we lack a cook as Seles declined." Seles stuck her tong out while chasing a man around. Bjorn grinned.

"Well if you stop nagging my men I'll talk them into coming. GUYS IT'S ALRIGHT! COME HERE!" the loud voice of the cook calmed the hysterical group and soon hiding soldiers were killed from the group as their chef informed them of the deal. 7 Immediately agreed in coming and were shown to the ship. The rest scattered again as A female said she'd show them the way to the science division. The green haired teen ran with them through hallways where red light flashed. Slamming a button she identified herself. The doors opened and overwhelmed the science department dropped things they had been holding.

"By Kami, we did our jobs as best as we could!" The senior stated helpless. Storn smirked. "Is that so? Willing to work for us instead? We're a small group but multiplying fast and we need good scientists." curious the elderly man strolled to Storn, peering at him through glasses.

"Hmm, old uniforms...about 20 years old ne? What a disgrace." impatient Storn nodded.

"I'll take that as a yes. Move it gang." "WAIT our projects!" A younger yelled, cradling a machine.

Anan ran inside panting a bit. "What a jazz! Okay, what has to come?" The young man held his machine tighter. "My baby!" Shrugging Anan walked over, Odal pulled the hysterical boy away as Anan capsulised it. Snicking the boy cradled the small thing.

"What did you do!!!" "It's fine! Hold it if it makes you feel better, saves me the indexing. Were down to 20 minutes gang. Just capsulise the whole room. Do we have doctors here?"

"I am one." "A healing one?" he shook his head annoyed. "This isn't the sickbay young man." Storn groaned. Putting the senior on his back. "Direct me!"

He stopped before a locked door. Handing the shaking senior to Rodas, as the man settled his glasses better. "Don't die on us now old man, we need more scientists." Rodas snarled. The old man slapped his cheek.

"Behave! I won't die just yet young boy!" blankly Rodas blinked. "What do you know, an old man with guts." The senior grunted. "And your Saiyan's, I thought you all were dead!" "Short story, we are not. Okay, DOCTORS AND NURSES FOLLOW ME! Better working conditions and stuff!" Mater yelled. Bold a nurse rose and stalked to him.

"Finally. Well then I quit this junk!" daftly tossing her work coat on the ground stamping on it hateful. "Is that new ice-jin that bad?" Rock wondered. The head of the section quit hiding and calmed the furious nurse.

"Yes, he has the tendency to clear whole bases if a corner of a hallway isn't properly cleaned." Rock laughed. "Well then I hope he won't visit our base! Not that he'd be welcome or anything."

"By Kami, this looks like an evacuation! And why did you find this sooner then me?" Feria growled at Storn who smirked.

"I asked. Hehehe." Stomping on his foot she and her team asked the doctors what they wanted along and capsulised it. Time was up and all blasted off to the next target. "I haven't had this much fun in months!" Marel yelled from Aran's team. Things ran smoother in the next campaign. The command tower wasn't blown up this time, and all personnel was shot in the bases, own capsules towards the base on Chikyuu-sei.

3 weeks later Vegeta eyed the radar horrified as he called Sula and Solar inside.

"Look..." He pointed shaky at the screen where more then 200 capsules headed straight to the planet. The signatures had been modified into friendly ones. That were the divisions???

"No way..." Solar groaned. They numbers were a bit more then expected. And they just finished... "Don't say a work Vegeta, were on it. GANG shovels and pick axes again!"

Bulma, Vegeta, Bura, Trunks, Gokou, Chi-chi, Gohan every body watched as the first capsules started crashing. In clouds of dust more and more rained down. The loud slams echoing through the valley, as all created big craters around the mountain. At one point fifty came down at once. After 10 full minutes 4 landed with obvious marks. Howling Wolf heads. When had they put that on them? Vegeta used his scouter to zoom in and blinked at the five base marks, and the death count. They had seen too many movies...since when were capsules submarines? Or aeroplane's? Soon they opened and Vegeta waved the other Saiyan's to fly the new additions up. Gokou happily helped too and brought up more then 30 at a time. Trunks and Gohan helped as well. Storn and Aran dragged two big containers with capsules up and presented them to Vegeta who waved them inside.

"You over did it!" he stated soar at Storn who shrugged. "You didn't specify a maximum. I take it we have enough now?" Vegeta shook his head tired as he glance up it the face of an elderly man, turning back to Storn who was down the hall.

"Couldn't you have picked more younger ones?" Angry the old man peered up, cradling a bunch of capsules in his shaking arms.

"You young ingrates! Hmm, don't I know you?" he squinted his eyes a bit. "Professor Zorn?" Vegeta stammered amazed. "Hai, I know! Your the king! You look pretty young though, and what happened to your beard??"

"That was my Tousan!" "Young Vegeta? AHHH now I see!!!" he bobbed his head beaming. "You turned into a fine young man."

"But I thought you were killed during the explosion?!" the man shook his head. "Seminar on Rothas. My brother did."

"Lucky devil. Well get inside. It's good to see you again!" the professor grunted. "Wait till I tell you about the chibi ice-jin." shuffling inside Vegeta shook his head amazed. The old coot managed to stay alive somehow, always. He'd be conveniently out of a lab when it exploded, or was behind a just devised shield when it happened. Only bruised or cut a bit while others were killed. Oh yes, he had a whole rep.

4 hours later, all had been send to their work places to install themselves. Most complaining about the crude working spaces. The Chef was very happy with his new though dusty kitchens, three times bigger then he was used too. Then again, knowing Saiyan's and their 'healthy' appetite...

Suddenly the com was activated and Vegeta's voice sounded through the complex.

"To all you present in this complex, as you have noticed Saiyan's are far from being extinct. We have made this new base, and you are chosen to work with us. Just continue with your original task, instead for as I heard, cursed Ice-jin. In time we will defeat him, and yes in your life time. Vegeta out."

After a 2 weeks scuffling about, finding their spots Vegeta was very content with how things were going. The science division was at full power and already a new armour was fabricated in test models. Saiyan's were training in gravity chambers, others blasted off on short food finding missions. Until now always plundering others bases owned by the enemy army. It happened almost daily a bunch looked for trouble by nagging a stronger group of enemy ships. Limping back in their ships after victory. The sickbay usually had 3 to 4 hurt Saiyan's, the science division improving the capsule models into fighters, and the engineers fixing them back up. Sula still was bored stiff with a nice tummy that she seriously disliked. Feria and Storn still ready to kill each other even if time was running out, Solar gossipping about their daily confrontations. Vegeta sometimes spending days at the capsule grounds to keep Bulma happy. Gokou was a usual sight as he sparred with 5 at a time. The five usually ending up for brief visits at the sickbay as well. Gohan only came in the weekends with Videl who liked the Saiyan's enough to hang around, getting taught some handy moves in the process. Satan only visited once as all knew he was a fraud. And the other Z Senshi didn't dare to come near the unpredictable colony.

Above, Dende kept a close eye on what they did, relieved they nagged the other army instead of harassing humans. Knowing the rep of Vegeta-sei he could live with the colony just fine, as long as the enemy army wouldn't discover they lived on Chikyuu-sei. That was his biggest concern.
