Chapter 15
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." Nadia groaned with each step she took. Trunks and Goten were really pushing her. Her whole body was bruised and battered, not to mention her ego.
"Nadia, we are heading to the Gravity Room which is, what (?), two, three metres away?" Yoli said unsympathetically.
"Its alright for you, you're not lacking in ki!" Nadia retorted.
"Well, that's true." Yoli grinned. She'd been thinking she was invincible and the next Spiderman (or should that be woman?) all morning.
"Right, brats. Spread around. Lets see if you can withstand any amount of gravity. I got the onna to take it up to six decimal places so I better see some results! No one is leaving for lunch until I see at least ten press-ups within the practically miniscule amount of 0.00007 times Earth's gravity. Is that clear?" Vegeta barked, standing at the front on the chamber. Murmurs of yes' and yeahs could be heard. "That's yes, Prince Vegeta, you baka's!"
"Yes, Prince Vegeta!" The students called back, including Yoli (surprisingly!)
"That's better." Vegeta smirked as he switched on the gravity. The majority of the students hit the floor with a loud 'umph'. The ones left standing were Jer, Let - the Namek Yoli saw Jer with earlier and Phoenix, the oldest and maturest student at the University being 17 years of age.
"I want you to sort these worthless teenagers into three groups, then alternate yourselves between each of them, understood?" Vegeta barked his orders.
"Yes, Prince Vegeta, sir!" The three students said with a slight grimace.
"Now you pathetic, puny, unintelligent, sorry excuses for human beings will attempt to stand within this gravity, for you will not be leaving this room unless you can walk out of it, and I will not, I repeat not, be switching down the gravity any time soon! Kami help you if your still here at the end of the day when I train in four hundred times Earth's gravity!" Vegeta yelled each word with precision.
"Well…I…guess…he…didn't…like…breakfast…then." Nadia gasped to Yoli.
"I…think I need…that 'Revenge' mag…azine." Yoli puffed, not nearly as bad as Nadia.
"OK, I wanna see you guys try and stand up!" The girl/Namek named Let walked over and said encouragingly.
"Oh…yeah. No…problem…there." Nadia said sarcastically, resting her head on the chamber floor.
"C'mon, you guys can do it! You don't wanna let Vegeta win, do you?" Let asked, smiling at the students. A dozen or so other students had joined with Yoli and Nadia to create 'Group 2'.
"Gnnnnnnn." A boy strained as he managed to stand up, slowly and painfully, but he stood nonetheless.
"Great! C'mon, I wanna see some more people!" Let shouted in triumph.
"Doesn't…want much does…she?" Nadia muttered to the group, speaking becoming easier for her.
"Blooooooooooody…hell!" Three girls stood up, cursing painfully, holding onto each other's shoulder to help.
"This is great!" Let shouted enthusiastically as pretty soon the whole group was standing, save Nadia and a small boy with glasses and black hair styled in curtains.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhh." The boy made a high-pitched sound as he stood shakily.
"C'mon Nadia!" Yoli encouraged her friend.
"I'd like to, but I'm stuck!" Nadia shouted in rage. "Oh fuck." She breathed as two gold-tipped boots appeared in front of her. 'Ooo, déjà vu! I had a dream about this once.' Nadia thought to herself, blushing in remembrance of what the dream had actually been about.
"Come on! You're holding everyone up! Oh, its you." Vegeta groaned. "You!" He said, pointing at Let. "Don't go easy on her." He said, and Nadia could just imagine the evil smirk he was pulling right now. 'Of course, this isn't how the dream ended.' She smiled to herself, positioning her hands beneath her and attempting to push herself up.
"Shit! Ow! Oh fuck! Fucking hell! Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW!" Nadia yelled as her arms bent backwards and she landed hard on her stomach, her forehead hitting the floor with a loud bang. "Stupid, fucking, asshole of a room!" Nadia yelled more in rage than pain.
"You OK?" Yoli and Let came over, concerned.
"Yeah, fine." Nadia muttered. "Everyone else can stand?" She asked incredulously as she looked around the room seeing everyone else's feet.
"Uh, yeah. C'mon Nadia. Its not that bad." Yoli comforted her friend.
"I…can do…this." Nadia muttered to herself, positioning her hands again, hoping they wouldn't bend back and nothing was broken. "Uhhhhhh…" Nadia breathed heavily, and started pushing herself up. Straining her back and legs, she managed to get into a crouching position, then pushed her head upwards helping her to stand.
"Woo! Go Nadia!" Yoli congratulated her friend.
"Yay! I did it!" Nadia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as Let patted her on the back.
"Oh wow. You can stand in 0.00007 times Earth's gravity. Very impressive." Vegeta said sarcastically, stood with his arms crossed. "Whilst you have been attempting to stand, your students have mastered how to walk. Why don't you have a go?" Vegeta smirked.
"Kami, Skittles is so hott when he's sadistic!" Yoli breathed, getting a cold stare from Vegeta.
"Huh…what the?" Nadia demanded, after having tried several times to move but found she could not.
"You!" Vegeta pointed at Phoenix. "Teach this baka how to walk." Vegeta walked off to 'Group 1' and began criticising someone from there. Phoenix walked over, muttering something about respect.
"Hi. What seems to be the problem?" Phoenix asked Nadia politely.
"She can't walk." Yoli chimed in.
"Thanks, Nadia." Nadia said to Yoli sarcastically. "Yeah, I can't walk. I'm kinda…slow." Nadia muttered.
"No problem, it took me ages to learn how to walk in this thing. Its not like we're built for it, just take it slow, ok?" Phoenix smiled.
"Ok." Nadia nodded, concentrating on the task at hand.
"Just put all the strain into your legs and lower back." Phoenix took a similar position to Nadia. "Like this." She said, walking towards Yoli and back.
"Ha, yeah right." Nadia laughed. "Like I can do that. What gravity can you walk in?" Nadia asked.
"Twice, and I can stand in three times. Hey, it took me a year and a half to learn!" Phoenix said as Nadia's eyes widened.
"How long have you been here? Why didn't you go home?" Yoli asked, her usual nosey self.
"Aren't you supposed to be learning how to train with Jer?" Nadia asked.
"Yeah, but this is more interesting. Besides, she's got a tail and I don't, it's not fair!" Yoli pouted.
"But she also knows whats in the secret sauce." Nadia pointed out.
"Point well taken." Yoli nodded her head. "Now, why have you been here so long?" Yoli asked.
"Well, I just love it here, and the University hired me to teach scared newcomers the ropes and what-have-you." Phoenix explained.
"That's all very interesting, but there is fifteen minutes left until lunch and I can't WALK!" Nadia said, pointing out the obvious as Yoli re-joined her group and began mimicking Jer's movements.
"Right, well put all your energy into your leg and push, like you're having a baby." Phoenix instructed.
"Oh yeah, done that lots of times." Nadia muttered, following what Phoenix had just said.
A/N2: Ah yes, everyone is anticipating Yoli's, Nadia's and Vegeta's weekend trip I see? Me too! Its gonna be great to write! But, good things come to those who wait, so I estimate another two chapters until George III picks them up! Oh, and cos I'm such a loner; if you have MSN I'd love to talk to some DBZ fans!
