14. Prototype WhiteStar


Zorn and the day crew eyed the other at the chair scene. Gokuu snoring softly with his head tilted backwards. Vegeta softly slept against his chest. Clutching his armour.

"Nightly activities report sir. Good night sir." One of the alien humanoid crew stated who had command in nightshifts.
"Anything out of the ord" the man pointed smiling at the couple.
"They were the only thing off. Went to the lavatory, when I came back my seat was taken." Zorn snickered.
"I betwell lets wake the sleeping beauties" Ronin buzzed around him and took a snapshot. Grinning he walked away as he waved the Polaroid dry. Secret ammo!! Celipa entered yawning.

"Morning, is it my eyes that are still closed or are the lights dim?"
-Meat to command. Power at 15% and dropping. Sir we have power for only another 12 hours. Life-support 16 hours.- Zorn walked to the chair and hit the communication button swatting Gokuu's hand away first.

"Understood. Command out." He poked Gokuu. "Wake up son, I want my chair back."
"Huh? What? Oh hi commander...whatoh?" He smiled sheepish. "I see" Gokuu gently shook Vegeta. "Vegeta wake upits morning."

"Don't wanoh? Hi Zorn" Slid wavering off Gokuu and yawned. "Your chair sleeps good." Smirking she walked into the lift with Gokuu.

"My chair? Shish, maybe you have a new room tonight. Start packing."
"I have nothing to pack thanks anyway." The doors slid closed as Zorn flopped in his preheated chair.
"OKAY, Bardock. Select a group you want to take down to vetch our new ship. They were so kind to build and invite us."
"Yes sir!" Eagerly Bardock started scanning files. One hour passed. Where in Vegeta showered, Gokuu showered. And ate with her and Chichi. Ronin decoding other messages they intercepted after they left the nebula. Zorn hanging in his chair glancing at Bardock. Who finished his wish list.

"Okay here we go." Bardock hit intercom and read off the list.
"Vegeta, Toora, Meat, Gokuu, Solan report to command asp." As the group arrived they were redirected in the smaller room with Bardock and Zorn.

A chart hung at the back with a blue print of the base.

"As you see here is the base which we will raid." Bardock began. "After arrival we will split up in three groups. Meat your with me, Toora you with Gokuu, Vegeta and Solan. Meat when we find the ship, you will go to Lola two. Vegeta you can fly anything with buttons, command. Solan you clear the command and keep hostiles out while Vegeta gets known to the new interface. Toora, Gokuu, you two can skip around keeping enemies away and take along anything of use. Kill as much as you can. The more you kill the less that will hounding us later. I will stand guard at the ships entrance. Understood?" all nodded. "Good memorises this map. After we fly away, all that do not have to fly, clean the ship. Vegeta blow up the planet. You will rendezvous with this ship and lock on as we transfer personnel and food. Time span is 10 minutes for the planet, 15 minutes, another 10 minutes for ship swipe, and 1 hour for rendezvous." Some eyed him doubtful.

"That's a very tight schedule" Vegeta muttered. One of the rare with the guts to complain.
"I know. But in 16 house this ship will fail on life-support. And arrival will take 5 hours. So? Tight. We will use the capsules while this ship hides behind this" He tapped the space chart beside it. "Asteroid." Gokuu grinned. Nicetight, and dangerouswhat a dare! Bardock eyed Gokuu who eyed him.

"Yes I know, it's exciting, stealing a shipagain!" Vegeta snickered at Bardock's words.
"Ah well, Lola lasted a whole year with Saiyansgive the girl some credit."
"While you were busy with yourwe will prepare transport of the gravity rooms and personal belongings and rations." Zorn added.

"Aren't we forgetting someone? Our changeling fox?" Toora mused.
"Oh wellwe'll find him a box or something. He can change shape, not size." Zorn muttered. He forgot "Okay, eat and rest. You have one hour. Good luck."

"Thanks sir."

Vegeta was left alone in the ready room with the stack of papers and read thought it with Zorn.

"Length 475.6 metres, 38 crewmembers possible. We have 30 men so we have some spare rooms. Trooper space so additional crew 60, heavy fighter cruiser power quantum gravity, 2 fusion reactors lifespan of about 5 years. AH, my favourite part. Weaponry. 1 quantum gravity cannon. I wonder what a punch this quantum thing gives2 pulse neutrino cannons. Four pulse guns. Defence. Armoured hull. Gravity tractor beam. Alien shielding. Alien stealth technology. And only useable for sensor sweeps. No visual hiding. A heavy Quantum gravity discharge of 100.000 Tera watt" Vegeta cringed. ErrrTera? "Bio armour? Shielding consists of alternating gravimetric distortion waves and a complex field of graphic electromagnetic energy barriers." Zorn sighed. Wow what a treat. Even if he didn't understand most of it Vegeta made notes and muttered to herself.

"Living entitybio armour right? Biological armourimagine thatmaybe it heals itself after impact and just maybe"She bit the butt off her pen. "Scar tissue enhances strengthjust like Saiya-jin!"

"Shush. Now where was I" they continued talking things true as Meat joined and wailed in excitement at the three generators.
"My babies can create what?"
"A wormhole to something they call hyperspace." Vegeta repeated. "Probably a short cut."
"You bet. I quote with use of the Jump mode, a 100.000 light years can be crossed in 7 weeks." Zorn commented in bliss. "This baby needs 21 weeks to cross that space!" Vegeta eyed the clock and rose.

"Okay, lets get you your present Zorn. Lets go Meat." Taking her notes which she put where no man would dare to grab it, her suit, she walked out.
"Womenall the same. As IF I'd grab that paper from her bra" Meat muttered as he strolled after her. Zorn snickered.

"Okay guys. On my mark it's fourteen hours left. 4mark. Get in." All sat in their assigned pods. Before them all the cargo was being capsulated. Every fighter dressed in full body armour. Chichi waved them good bye with Jazz and Declan who mewed unhappy. Vegeta on purpose had left him in her care. Fighting and a kittendid not mix.

5 minutes before entering atmosphere.

"Okay men and woman, recap. Meat mission objective."
-Clean path to engine room and get the babies started.-
"Vegeta."
-Command room, wipe everyone and navigation.-
"Gokuu."
-Wipe and raid.-
"Toora."
-Same as his, eh kid?.-
-Sure- Gokuu snickered.
"Solan."
-Back Vegeta up.- Bardock heared Vegeta's sneer.
-And you SIR Bardock? Mission objective?-

"Protect meats marvellous bulls eye butt. As usual. And afterwards kiddies. The ones not responsible for steering or machineryrid the ship of alien cooties." Snickering greeted him.

-I'm forgetting somethingAH yes. Blow the planet up. Which shall I usethe pulse neutrino cannonsgravimetric discharge cannons-
-Last one sounded funny."
-Think so? Okay. That one will be it. I wonder what kind of boom we'll get-

"Landing in one minute. Prepare for fan-club. Hey brat? Just think of it like a video game."
-No dad, I'm not a chibi anymore. I can handle it.-
"Kids grow up so soonah well. Good luck people. You have ten minutes or we're leaving without you."
-No you won't.-
-Yes I will-
Vegeta chided.

"Don't tease them Vegeta."
-Party pooper. Okay heads up!- they landed and instantly hopped out. Laser fired at them as they scattered around the buildings and into the base itself. The proto-ship was hidden under the ground. Already had known that so Vegeta, Meat, Bardock and Solan covering each others backs ran down while blasting enemies around them.

"I feel old. First fought next to your dad now with youduck son"
"Huh? Why? OH!" Gokuu didn't and rubbed his nose.
"That tingled" Toora sighed as he yanked him along.
"Mental noteNever say duck to a super Saiya-jin, he wont"

Vegeta and Bardock rolled behind a crate as Solan and Meat were pinned down.
"Remember those lasers?" Vegeta growled. Bardock briefly eyed her.
"Yesyou got hit with one last time?"
"BABY!!!" Meat ran through the barrage of laser beams as Vegeta growling rose and flashed golden as she shoved him aside from a big bertha laser gun.

"YOU RUNT! You have to fire before you can enter the ship?" Dragging him behind her like a too eager kiddie, he wanted in so desperatelyshe held him in her aura which deflected all beams. "Men are impossible brats" She growled as Bardock and Solan eyed the other and cracked up. She looked like a mommy!

-Team 1 to 2 and 3. Nicked all we could. Need a hand?-
"Nah Meat getting himself killed and Vegeta peeved at him. Nothing much." Bardock snickered as he saw Vegeta walking like a mountain through the barrage of fire and up the ramp.

"Teams 1 and 3. We have 5 minutes to board the ship."
-Yeah-yeah already inside- Vegeta grumbled back. -Kiddie on the rampage. Heading to the bridge now. Care to cover my BACK Solan?-
-COMING! Unlike some I don't have an impregnable shield.- he yelped almost as Gokuu tapped his shoulder.
"Need mine?" he offered.
"BY THEGokuu don't sneak up on me!" Solan spat.
"You were busy talking and shooting. Come on, not nice to keep a lady waiting. Dad? Wanna join?" Toora behind Gokuu snickering shot around him. Great shield. Bardock soon joined him. On purpose Toora stayed back and blasted 'at' Gokuu who unknowingly blocked sending the beams left and right of him hitting the enemy positions. Toora laughed stunned it worked. Bardock reeled around and hooked his fist into his jaw.

"Are you CRAZY!" Toora picked himself off the ground.
"He can take it. Look he didn't even NOTICE."
"hmmneat trick though. But NOT again."

-Front clear!- Solan informed.
-Half of team threeSolan. I know how this thing works. Board please. Activating thrusters now.-
Vegeta stated.
-Half of team 2!! Bardock. I got this baby runningand she's purring!!- Bardock, Solan, Gokuu and Toora ran inside as the ramp closed. Darn that Vegeta. As they tumbled inside the ship hummed louder and nudged the ceiling. Vegeta initialised shielding and broke through it with a blast. Hovering up and over the base. Below personnel gasped. Smirking Vegeta turned it with the nose to the highest tower. And coyly hit a firing button. Not caring which. It shot an Electromagnetic pulse at it and disabled all electronics in one go. No communication or sensor sweeps were possible. Machinery imploding on its own. Vegeta send the ship into space and turned it around one last time.

"Okay. Bye-bye, nice knowing yah andthanks for the ship?" Hit the 1 Quantum-Gravitic Discharge. Solan walked up behind her amazed at the crackling blue ray which incinerated the planet but left the solar planet in peace, even the moon! It just wasno explosionlike a bloody black hole! Vegeta eyed her hands at the buttons. Wow

"Umis it gone?" she stammered.
"Likegreat galaxiesthere is nothing leftnot even dust!"
-Hello? We have some visitors on the ship? Their not happy? And there are many? GET YOUR TAIL HERE Solan.-
"Um" Turned around and joined them as Vegeta sat back

-Solan, decks 1 and 2. Gokuu 3-4, Toora, 5-6. I'll take 7 and 8. Meat you clear engine room and 9. Vegeta. Enjoying yourself?-
"I ah" Shaking her head clear she input the asteroid coordinates, and smirked as she thought up something daring. Would Zorn kill her? NAH! He was too weak. Coyly hit the activation button and saw another beam shot before the ship. A round wormhole formed and it shot inside. Red hues mixed with black inside it. Amazed she simply gazed at it as the doors opened behind her.

"Look at that Solan"
"Indeed!" She dove in reflex as a laser shot over her head. Crap.
"Solan YOU ASS! YOU LET ONE GET TO ME! WARN ME NEXT TIME GODAMNIT!"
-There are 25 around me? Sorry?-
"Aw Shuddup." She eyed her adversary. Green, small ugly. All she needed to know.
"You shouldn't have shot at me?" He snickered weary as three others piled in.

"I hate VISITORS." She flashed gold as the other whimpered.
"Another!" Talking it they met Gokuu she smirked.
"Yup, and just as bad assed, byeee!" Incinerating them in one blast she sighing flopped back down. Darn. And she had wanted to keep the bridge clean.

Below Bardock and Gokuu walked to the other. Bodies strewn about around.
"What a bore." Gokuu muttered.
"Excuse you? We just nicked the best ship in this universe? Ingrate." Gokuu waved it off.
"Come on dad, I meant they didn't put up a decent fight." Bardock rolled his eyes.
"You're a super Saiya-jin for crying out loud. What did you expect?"
"More of a challenge? You talked about it neat."
"Well unlike youI had a ball."


Zorn sighed as he eyed the clock again. Time was running outso they had been gone for only 5 hours and 40 minutes
"Non essential personnel relocate to cargo bay 1." He muttered to do at least something. He wondered what was upRonin suddenly reeled back.

"ENERGY DISTORTION BEFORE OUR BOW!" A hole formed in space itself as a green purple ship shot out and instantly stopped before him. Nearly nose to nose.

"By the galaxyI think I did something in my pants" Celipa squeaked. Jazz who had been handing drinks reeled back and flopped on his rear as Chichi gasped in the back.

"Umincoming transmission"
"Screen" Zorn muttered pale. Vegeta's face smirked at them.
-There we are! Missed us? Nice ship eh? Great breaks too. You'll like it. Oh Zorn? I kinda messed up your new bridge? Solan's fault.- she sighed soar as she eyed the body marks behind her.

"Y.Vegeta? youwhy didyour 5 hours early!" she shrugged.
-Want me to leave?-
"NOcontinue with the plan. Air lock Celipa?"
-I.wouldn't do that if I were you- Vegeta sung. -They haven't finished cleaning up yet.- she chided as two arms grabbed her from behind.

"We are now" Gokuu muttered as he messed her hair. "Naughty. You scared the shit from them
"Come onfelt like it."

"Umokay. Celipa locking procedure. All personnel as previously ordered all to cargo bay 1. And enter the WhiteStar in an orderly fashion."

-Celipa, I'll lock onto your ship. Our airlock is a tricky one. Stand by.- keeping the communication open they saw Vegeta hitting buttons rapidly as their turned around. With the right flank they drifted on thrusters closer.

-1000 meters500 meterslocked.- Their ships shuddered lightly as the ships locked on to the other.
-Opening our side of the lock.-

"Celipa, open our side." Zorn ordered. Celipa nodded and hit open-button.

The sides were opened and each of the men or women who passed through held a box with capsules. Two carried a metal box with air holes rammed in. Inside it small claws tried to get out.

"Where are we going? Why? How? Oh I knowyou carry me and you walkwhere too? In what? What's your name? Well I get food soon? Why is it so dark? Why am I here? It's too campycan I have some milk? I have to go to the bathroom. Where is it? Is it big? What colour?"

"SHUT UP!" Zorn howled at the box. The nails vanished. "That idiotic fox is driving me NUTS."
"Sir, have mercy, I guarded him?" one muttered soar.
"Your relieved off duty. Poor man. Too harsh of a punishment." Zorn replied sweat dropping and tempted to kick his box around some.

"Where is the princess? Thought I heard her voicewhen will I see her" The box landed upside down as a fox tail stuck out three holes. "Ouch" Carefully he pushed the open lid and peered with his snout out. Stuck his tong at Zorn and ran on all fours into the new ship. "Bath roomAWWWW I'll find a corner else!!!" Celipa eyed the red blur.

"Say Zorn? Hubby, mate? Lover? Commander? Wasn't that foxy you kicked out and ran past me?" she asked really sweetly.
"Huh? Where?" She pointed at the corridor to the other ship. "How could he, he was stuck in the" he eyed the open box and two nervous before it. CRAP.

"GET HIM BACK! Don't just stare at that blasted BOX."
"Yes SIR." Both ran past the neat line up into the new ship. Celipa snickered as Zorn sighed. Jewel came laughing from the second back in the first and clung Celipa in bliss and sobbed.

"I.I saw"
"You saw? Celipa helped.
"Ffalling in the pottail uppeeing beside the bowl" Celipa giggled as she eyed Zorn who shook his head.
"Found him" She sung.
"Celipa?"
"Hmmmm???"
"SHUT UP?"
"Aw"
"MOVE THE LINE UP." Shrugging she guided the personnel again. Stiff neck.
