17. Building a Gravity room


Gokuu sat on a chair as he observed Vegeta who was sweating. Towing materials back and forth. Here a screw, there a slam. Connecting threads. All looked like a big bomb exploded here. The floor was scattered with different metal objects. He'd once dared to move two things, she blew up in his face. Seemed that she had all the plans now laid out on the ground and only needed to put the thing together. And that if he'd dare to move something else one inch, she'd kick him out.

Sticking her tong out to her lips, and licking them wet she sat on her rear while staring nearly cross eyed at a very delicate manoeuvre. A metal conductor had to pass through an excruciating small eye and be attached at a tiny connection. Sweating she pushed it through the eye and silently exhaled. Okaynow the last bitif she managed thisshe had been pushing this forward to the max already. She was a patient girl but this was nerve wracking. If she'd manage this she had the tiniest parts doneshe almost didn't dare to breathe.

Suddenly the whole ship reeled to the left side. Yelping Vegeta plus all parts, plus Gokuu on chair moved that was as if in a violent storm. Vegeta rolled over some bigger parts and had to pill out two sharp ones. Flushed red she rose shook remaining treads from her hair and clutched her hands into fists. Too angry to even open her eyes.

"Vegeta? Could you give me a hand? I'm stuckplease?" She turned without a word to his voice. Opened her eyes as Gokuu gulped. Wowpissed!!! Yanked him free and stomped without a word out of the room. Should he warn his dad? Yepbolted to a com, and tripped over a round part. Smacking headfirst. Dazed he glanced up. Aw manwith her stride she'd be molesting him already. Ah wellhe tried. Rose and walked carefully to the button.

"Say dad?"
-Yeah brat-
"Vegeta's comingand she's not happy"
-Oh dearwhy hello Vegeta how are youI'M SORRYBRAT! She's Super Saya-jin and tearing the command room apart! And me-

Vegeta entered the command room and snarled at Bardock who was laying in his chair and loving the chase after a pirate ship. She turned super Saiya-jin and stalked up to him. Pulling him up by the neck. Vaguely she heard some weak excuse. And didn't pay it any heed at all.

"Do you know anything about technology" She hissed. Bardock squirmed and nodded in her grasp as Jazz, Ronin and Jewel backed away. That palm with a dancing ki ball was more then enough to discourage any of them. It was dissipated as she clasped both her hands around his neck.
"It is DELICATE" She snarled, ignoring poor Bardock's gasps for air. Gokuu appeared behind her. Bardock glanced hopeful at him as his face turned red.

"UmVegeta? Too tight?" He turned super Saiya-jin just before she would have backhanded him into a wall. Most probably. He caught her hand now instead. And still had to brace. Shish "I know your madlet them blow the ship upI will help sorting the parts"

"BUT! All my WORK!"
"If you will allow me, I'll help, I have allot of patience with tiny works" Gokuu tried. It was a lie, but he could be patient if needed. And it was definitely needed here.
"Fine." She pulled Bardock now turning purple to her face. "You better make sure this was the last time mister." And slammed him into his chair. Turned around with her nose in the air and stepped into the lift. Eyeing him apologetic Gokuu rushed after her. Weakly Bardock thanked him with a thumb up before slumping down.

"Shishwhat a temperand what a power to back it upNow where is that rat that nearly got 'me' killed." He sat upright as Jazz homed in on the ship that on purpose had bumped into them cloaked.

Vegeta walked in despair inside the room. Sighing she scratched her hair. Where to startwhat a bloody messshe glanced briefly at Gokuu who walked past her and energetically started sorting boxes back to the right wall. Stapling them up, and then started putting the bigger pieces to where he remembered them having lain before. Feeling boosted by his activities she joined and in 3 hours they had restored it back to it had been. Once more Vegeta sat on her rear in the midst of parts. Her tail edgy beside her, slapping back and forth in concentration as her nose was into the two parts againthe eyethe threadthe other part tiptoe Gokuu left the room and slammed the button in the hallway.

"DAD?"
-I DIDN'T MOVE!-
"Hush, I know. Look, suggestion? We returned it to it's former statedon't move for the upcoming 3 hours. Go into a nebula for all I care. Just don't provoke or get us seen."
-Message received brat. Thanks for the warning. You heard him guys. GET US SAVE. From her wrath- Snickering Gokuu returned.

What was their deal with her anyway. He wasn't scared of her. Maybe because he was just as strong? Yeah that was it. He hovered to the chair and sat down. Eyeing her with interest. This was something he had discovered soon enough. If she was absorbed into her activities. She had no notion of her surroundings and people watching her.

"Just a bit more" Vegeta talked to her self. Her fingers slightly shaking in concentration. Biting her lip and feeling a sweat drop trail down her cheek she managed through the eye, good. She exhaled carefully as the thread vibrated to her hands. "Now just stay in there while I pick up the other part" she reached behind her blindly picking up the right part. This amazed him so. Without looking she knew which piece she was picking up! She took it to the tread through eye and with her tail took the soldering bolt. Using the three limbs she attached the different parts. 5 minutes passed in which she carefully pulled on the frail connection. Testing it. Gokuu almost didn't dare to breath with her when she suddenly put it down harshly and cleaned herself up. Huh? Something wrong again? Without a word she walked to a side and dragged other parts to the centre and started putting more things together.

"Is it okay for us to move again?"
"No." She barked and concentrated on fixing the previous nightmarish part into another. He gulped. Just asking2 hours passed in absolute silence. Gokuu didn't even hear anyone walk past their room! And knowing that they were in training room one and that the others had tight schedules for training, would mix it up now

As the minutes ticked away Vegeta pulled back, eyeing her handy work. Made a slight adjustment and flicked something on. The lights flashed as Gokuu had a feeling this wasn't the only place it was happening.

-WHO THE HELL IS SCREWING WITH MY LOLA!- Meat's voice howled through the ship.
-Well the command room isn't- Ronin muttered. Stations called themselves until nothing other remained butMeat cleared his threat nervous.

-UmVegeta?- He asked carefully. -What are you doing to poor Lola?- He added timid. Vegeta walked to the communications. Hitting the button.

"Tuning my machine. Buzz off." And walked back to her work. Meat flinched. Aw shit Best stay away from her for the coming daysshe was evil incarnated

-UmVegeta? If your fine-tuningcan we move the ship again?- Bardock requested. -Even if the sensors failedand umthe lasersand umwell lights? No biggyjust ahasking?- Annoyed Vegeta eyed the button, ignoring him completely as she grabbed a screwdriver and continued tweaking her machine. Instead Gokuu walked over.

"Umdad? I think you can move" He muttered. Knowing very well she heard him. But he heard no grunt or snarlso he supposed he was in the clear.

-I don't know if Lola willthat machine is taking allot of her resources- Meat complained. Vegeta snarled. Allot? Just watch it. Nasty she flipped another control and suddenly all inter ship communications failed. Peace and quiet. No complaining, no moaningno nothing. Vegeta grimaced as she leaned in deeper. Gokuu heard the crackling of raw core energy and Vegeta being launched backwards. Dizzy she rubbed her scorched face.

"Wrong spot" shaking her head clear she crawled on hands and feet back and again had a shocking experience. This continued for 3 times. Time and time again Meat eyeing the level of power drop by a quarter. At the third slam Vegeta lay knock out. Lights and communication were restored as Gokuu flicked all controls out and checked on her. As he touched her he was slammed backwards. Whoa!

"Um, medical personnel report to training room 1um Meat? Do you have something that moves energy from a conduit?"
-A what? GOOD LOLA HIT BACK! Good girl. Yeah I have something. Hasn't thatis she knock out?-
"Very"
-THAT OATH heard of protection? Lola has one heck of a punchabout 4.000.000 gig-watt. She used to have 10.000.000go do your homework kid.-

"Easy Meat 6.000.000Very funny. Look, she really looks bad" The medical staff rushed inside, about to touch her as Gokuu yelled them not too.

"She's still under electricityMeat get your butt here with that device."

"No need to yell. Never heard of Saiya-jins in quick walk?" Meat shook his head annoyed as he walked to a save distance of Vegeta. Handing Gokuu a battery sort of thing. A big one. "Here. You do it." Soar Gokuu took it. Nice Walked up to Vegeta, feeling the pull of her body and touched her skin with the thing. Instantly four dense beams with a crackling sound traced the surface before being lead into the centre. Gokuu eyed it amazed as a led shone. More and more points glowed up.

"Therede-charged." Meat stated content. Taking the battery and running back to his engine whom he fed the drained energy. "All save." He stated before leaving. Weary the personnel eyed Gokuu who walked closer to her and tapped her arm.

"He's right." He added. Instantly the staff buzzed around.
"Heart rate?"
"Umnone?" the nurse stated nervous. Gokuu paled. WHAT? She was dead? He rushed to the com.

"DADshe has no heartbeat!"
-Ah that's nothing. It'll come back. I have had one trice already. And still walking.- Bardock responded. -She'll be cranky again. The chest is a killer.-

"Yeah but" Gokuu stammered desperate as they gave her heart an injection and started CPR. But her chest was too stern. They couldn't massage it! The senior waved Gokuu over.

"You do it."
"Do what?"
"Just what we did." Gokuu nodded. Sitting down as a nurse with a breathing machine made sure she had air in her lungs as Gokuu carefully bruised her ribs to get her back to life. After 15 excruciating minutes for Gokuu she started breathing on her own. Her heartbeat returned. Still a tad erratic before stabilising.

"Healing tank, STAT." Gokuu picked her up and carried her there. In her underwear she was put inside one, as fluids filled it. Patiently he sat before it.

Vegeta glanced around dazed. She was before this huge desk. Above her loomed a huge head. Yelping she eyed up.

"Shish, don't they come smaller!" She managed sarcastic.

"Sorry young lady. But I do tend to make lasting impressions. Your in too early. You know that? Your not in my book yet. However, I have one who wishes to see you." The scenery changed again into a garden. Glancing down she sweat dropped. Where were her FEET? Confused she glanced around as a blue hared woman hovered to her. Speechless she gulped.

"Aam I dead?" She eyed the woman who was smoking. Who was eyeing her bemused.
"Not quite yet." Hiding her confusion she smirked instead, crossing her arms. The woman flew around her interested. "MyVegeta you are a cutie"

"Excuse you?" She snarled confused still. And growing impatient. If she wasn't dead then WHAT was she?
"I'm sorry, where are my mannersBOYS, SHE'S HERE!" Over flew two dark hared young men. They smiled at her as a purple hared man joined. Her head reeled. She knew them!

"Hello! So your Vegeta now?" The The lavender hared mused. Like the first flying around her. Vegeta blew a fuse. Swatting the others away and flying into a tree and sulking on a branch,. This was NUTS. And she hated having no FEET. You couldn't give them a roun- house kick properly now.

"Yup. Like dad alright." The purple hared mused. The blue hared floated under the tree and peered up.
"Look, we're sorry. But you used to be my husband. It's odd seeing you as a girl. Usually Yema reincarnates souls as they previous sex."

"Lovely. I'm a sight to see."
"Noactually, I have some advice for your gravity room? You attached something wrong,. That's why you were electrocuted. I just forgot to change that in my diaries." Vegeta popped her head from the thick leaves.

"RUNT! I could have killed myself!"
"You did." Frustrated Vegeta was ready to implode. They just said she wasn't dead! "Vegeta, COME DOWN OUT OF THAT TREE AND WATCH AT MY SCHEMATICS INSTEAD OF SULKING AWAY THE SHORT TIME WE HAVE!" Stunned and acting on something she couldn't understand she floated down weary. Why did she even listen to this loudmouth. She didn't even like her.

"Oh before you start. Could you tell Gokuu I died" One of the black hared and seemingly the eldest walked up to her.
"Who are you?" She asked confused. Feeling she should know him but couldn't place him.
"I'm Gohan. I passed away in my sleep. So he doesn't have to feel bad. Funny actually. First I was his son, then his grampa!" Gohan laughed silly and put his hand in his neck.

"It's not that funny" She muttered. How could she tell Gokuu.
"I do know something that was good news. I heard that Bardock is with him and that he adopted him? Good news. He's not alone then." Gohan added. Annoyed the blue hared pulled Vegeta to a drawing in sand.

"Lookhere you made the mistake" Curious the others huddled around as Bulma explained all the workings and changes she had made over the years. Mostly to make them live longer and be able to withstand the cruellest of attacks from her beloved Vegeta.

After they finished explaining she sat watching the women and boys. She felt a tug and vanished. The body felt sluggish and painful. She squinted an eye open and frowned at the light. Through the water she still heard a computer whining about patient movement having been registered and all medical personnel should go to their stations. What evershe felt like she was hit and run over by a train. Having no patients for this 'bath time' she pulled off sensors but kept the mask. She was annoyed, not retarded. Instantly it was drained and the top moved up like a lid. Shaking the mask off she wobbly rose. Her feet slipped on the smooth and wet tub round. Flailing her arms she fell head first but was caught by strong arms.

"Good morning Vegeta! Hey you silly, you are supposed to heal some more." Gokuu chided in her ear softly.
"Didn't feel like itget me out of this contraption" She snarled with a headache. She was picked up instead of supported as she had thought. And draped on a sick bed instead. As she did the panel at her head flashed on showing vital signs. Lovely.

"Vegeta, you have set a record. You survived 6 million watt." A doctor stated as he gently brushed Gokuu aside and did some tweaking to the machine that was checking her. She slumped her head down on the pillow and groaned.

"Sure feels like it" Bardock strolled inside and heard the last moan.

"Ah, your awake already? Shame on you, you should heal more. Anyway, do you feel up to doe fun tonight? And I mean fun in a way you haven't had beforewell Gokuu hasn't in any case" Gokuu shook his head thrilled. Already knowing what was up. His eyes shimmered in anticipation.

"Fun like what" She muttered weary. Peering from under her arm which was flopped over her face to avoid that annoying bright lamp.
"You see that lovely tail of yours?" He pointed at her tail which curled up to her. Still wet.
"Yes?"
"It's vital for the fun. You just add a moon and voila." He clasped his hands together beaming. She frowned.
"Voila what? A moon lit night?"

"YES. A moon can help you transform."
"In what? A werewolf?" He shook his head.
"No a were-ape. But we lovingly call it Ozaru stage." He patiently explained. Meanwhile Vegeta had a syringe in her arm as the doctor injected her. Flinching Gokuu fled to the other side. He just hated needles

"Well? Feeling up too it?" the doctor loomed before Bardock peeved.
"NO. she stays PUT." Stubborn Vegeta eyed him. She'd decide THAT. Besides, sounded like fun." She rose dizzy and grabbed Gokuu's arm without asking as she slid down on her feet. Bardock walking around the peeved doctor eyed Vegeta smirking.

"Your not the only one either. All tail-less Saiya-jins will be there. I won't. I need to get the ship out of range."
"I still have mine. It will regenerate for the others?" She vaguely remembered Jewel muttering something about it when they were cut off.
"Yup, only you'll be going 'ape' sooner. Maybe you can stomp on a couple. Bet they won't like that." He snickered.
"Clothes?"
"Stretch with you. Great stuff Eh?" Vegeta tugged Gokuu with her to the door as the doctors eyed them frustrated. Saiya-jinsworst patients ever. Getting healed was all fun. But making them stay afterwards or when they woke during healingwell tried tying a mad bull down?

"And don't worry about any inhabitants. I found this primitive planet with only beasts. No culture what so ever. You can even snack on them. In factWe already landed. The other are stretching their muscles outside." They heard as the doors slid closed behind the three.
