Chapter-10 The Z Force
The night after I used the dragon balls to give the Legendary Super Saiyan form to Vegeta, I was pulled into a family meeting. Gohan had told my mom and dad that I gave the power away and how it seemed to hurt me. I sighed when I got out of the shower and my parents and brother were waiting for me.
"Chiyo, we need to talk young lady!" My mom said in her angry voice. It was scary.
I gulped, "Uhm okay, what did I do?"
My dad's voice was soft and comforting but also filled with worry, "Chiyo, you just gave away a part of yourself, didn't you? We felt your Ki when it happened, are you alright?"
I looked down at my hands, "I feel just fine."
"That isn't true Sis, I know you feel empty inside right now," Gohan said.
I frowned, "Look if it hurt me that bad then what happened when I originally took it from Broly? I might have killed him when I got here, and I didn't want to give the power back cause then he would come and try to hurt us or something. I don't know..." I realized I was crying.
My mom spoke this time, her voice is soft, "Chiyo, we have only had you for a year. You can't go hurting yourself like that just to assuage your guilt."
My eyes widened and my heart sank when she knew it was because of guilt.
"Yeah, I told them Sis, I...I haven't felt guilt like that since..." He looked to Goku, "Since the Cell games, but I know it needs to be addressed. Mom helped me get through losing Dad back then. The guilt, the anger, the helplessness." He paused and really looked at me, "You need our help, but you went and made an irrational decision without asking any of us."
I looked away from my brother's penetrating gaze and my dad spoke, "You could have died Chiyo, I don't know about this Broly guy you got the transformation from, but if you didn't have your healing power, would you have been alright?"
I couldn't speak so I just shook my head.
My mom spoke up, "Listen, sweetheart, we all care about you. You have been an amazing sister to both Gohan and Goten. You have been a wonderful daughter to a family that wishes you were a part of them from the start. You work hard to make sure that we are taken care of and that we have all we need, you don't have to do this alone, alright?"
Goku spoke up as he and my mom walked over and sat next to me on the couch, "Listen to your mother Chiyo, she's right. You know that we are here for you, we trust and love you. Do not hurt yourself like that again, please, alright?"
I nodded and choked out, "I won't."
I felt amusement, disbelief, and love from my brother, and I looked up at him. He smiled and shook his head, "Chiyo, you already know I have your back, right?"
I nodded again at that, tears came pouring out further, but I felt the weight of guilt get released. I could tell that even explaining the incompatibility of the Legendary Form to my Half-Saiyan side didn't matter, it was how I handled it alone that was the problem.
Not one week after the meeting with King Furry I had a visitor at Capsule Corp. I stopped my work and went to greet a very pretty woman in her mid-to-late 20s. She had dark brown hair with brown eyes and a serious face. She was wearing a business suit in solid black with a white undershirt and was slightly taller than me with her high heels on. Her hair was perfectly straight like 18's, though much darker and her smile seemed extremely forced.
"Hello Miss Son, I am Carina Florez," She bowed. "King Furry has sent me to be your assistant in the creation and running of the group known as the Z Force."
I nodded and stared into her eyes. She tried to avoid mine for a moment before rising to the challenge, "What have you heard of me, Miss Florez?"
Her eyes narrowed a degree, recognizing the challenge, "I saw the recording of your fight in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, you won with an incredible fight with your brother. You recently started working at Capsule Corp under some secret project dealing with energy or space travel. Your brother and father have recently claimed credit for the destruction of Cell. King Furry knows this to be true, along with all of us in the government, however, they have also noted that it was your decision to implement this plan."
She continued, "I also know that out of the two of you and your brother, you are the more politically minded, yet you wanted your brother to take the position of Heir Select to the Dragon World Throne. King Furry speculates that this is not you being over or under-qualified, but rather you wish to see your brother and his potential future wife, Videl Satan on the throne."
I raised my eyebrows at that and nodded, "What do you know of the threat known as Majin Buu?"
She looked uncertain, "His Majesty stated that you shared a copy of a video, but he has not released it to us. I am unaware of the total threat, but that it is no longer a problem."
I nodded again, "Okay, that is where we should start then. I want you under no misconceptions about the types of threats that we look for. That being said, I focus on larger threats City level and greater, but I will need help identifying smaller ones that our organization will also handle."
She nodded and spoke up, "On that note, King Furry has authorized more funding for a secondary communications system for the Z Force, it will work alongside our worldwide emergency communications."
I nodded at that, then got straight down to business. I listed the names of the people I wanted as fellow Z Guardians. The organization would be the Z Force while the fighters would be known as the Z Guardians. We are no longer Z Fighters but instead focused on protection. We formed a ranking system based on power levels and a whole list of engagement rules and protocols.
We had our plans to build the headquarters outside of West City and it had all of the technology we could think of, including a Ki-draining arena that also has shields and is not in direct contact with the planet, instead, it floats on a gravitational array, and is surrounded with Ki shielding. I had purchased all of the technology from Capsule Corp, including a massive Gravity room that only went up to 10x Earth's gravity but a hundred people could train in it.
I had one that went to 200x, and then the Saiyan one that went to 1000x Earth's gravity. They were modular and set on the outside of the central building so we can replace them if broken in the future. We had locker rooms put in, with all the amenities that anyone could want. Carina had plans for maids, cooks, and administration staff, as well as a dispatch office and anything else we needed.
King Furry was already working with his underlings to inform the world of our organization, I just needed to get it ready to make the official announcement. It took a few months to get going as far as construction. The building wasn't going to be some prefab so it would take nearly 6 months to build. In the meantime, I worked with Carina to build our staff, so I started by approaching my parents.
My mom had been nagging my dad to get a job recently and it was time for him to be ready for more.
"So Chiyo, what do you mean he will be paid to train? What kind of job is that?" My mom could be crazy sometimes, but well-reasoned arguments and lots of money eliminate all her defenses.
"He will make this much money per year, and as one of the only 3 S-Class Z Guardians, he will be on hold to get stronger until world threats or greater show up. He is welcome to do patrols if he wishes but it will not be required, but if there are natural disasters or other things of that nature."
"Wow Chiyo, you are amazing. You made a job that I can also train at?"
"No Dad, I made a job that will help protect this world. That was what you always were getting ready for, but now you can focus on it while having other concerns erased. My mom doesn't have to worry about money, she can just enjoy herself and relax, right Mom?" I said with a smirk.
"Well, I do like that he is going to be a working man. It is important to provide for your family," Chichi said with a nod.
"Exactly!" I think my dad was shocked that I was able to manipulate the situation so he could both make Chichi happy and train, but I did it so he was happy.
I knocked on Krillin and 18's door, "So this is the Android and the Monk?" Carina asked me.
"Don't say that to her face."
She nodded gravely.
"Ahhh Chiyo, great to see you," 18 said as she opened the door, with Marron in her arms.
"Hey, 18! Hi Marron!"
"Chiyooo!" Little Marron said with her arms out for a hug. She was so cute.
We made our introductions and 18 invited us inside, "Let me just grab Krillin, I think he is training. He is trying to join the West City Police Department after all."
"Well, I caught him just in time to stop that then," I said with a smirk.
18 looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Just grab him and I'll pitch you both," She nodded at that and walked off while I held Marron.
"So you all live in this little neighborhood?"
"We are all close from years of being friends, when I came into the picture I asked Bulma about bringing us all together and she loved the idea. It has really helped my mom mellow out and destress. Something that wouldn't have happened if she still had to provide for all of us on such a small amount of money," Over the past few weeks Carina and I became close friends, but I hadn't expanded on my private life much until we were ready to start recruiting. That time came now.
"Heya Chiyo! Who's your friend?" Krillin said.
"This is my assistant, Miss Florez, she is working with me to create the worldwide organization known as the Z Force. We are here today to offer jobs to both of you," I said with a smile.
"I was thinking of joining the police, I need to make some money," Krillin said in a way that should have been more convincing if I didn't know how little money that would be compared to the amount we had for them.
"And you know I need to take care of Marron," 18 said while holding her arms out.
I smiled and gave Marron a kiss on the cheek that she giggled through as I handed her back over to her mom, "Yes, I know how much each of you would actually want to work, and that would show in the amount of money I am offering you." I held out two envelopes from Carina with their offers in them as I began to explain.
"18, you would only be required to maintain or improve your fighting abilities. That power level will enable you to be ready to fight should a threat to the planet or a city show up and we absolutely need help. Krillin, you would take on a sort of continental patrol, but there isn't time for you to be wasted going through the police, you both are some of the strongest beings on this planet and it is time we treated you as such," I said.
They both were silent as they looked at the figures on the offer page. Finally, they turned to each other, "Chiyo...how is this possible?"
"Miss Florez, would you give a brief rundown of our organization and its origins," I said with a smirk.
"Of course Miss Chiyo, this is essentially the first act of our new Princess here, she and her brother will be named Heirs to the Dragon World Monarchy. King Furry has personally chosen Gohan to become King in 3 years' time when he resigns. Miss Chiyo here has been working to create the Z Force organization, which will react to threats as well as assists emergency services on a worldwide scale. If you both accept, Krillin will be an Active B-Class Guardian, and 18 will be an Inactive B-Class Guardian. There will be a few months of introductory training and testing that you both will need to make yourself familiar with before the organization officially starts. Are there any questions?" Carina was precise and immediate in her response.
"Uh...Chiyo, did you add too many zero's to these numbers? Cause this is so much more than anything a cop could ever make..." Krillin asked with a nervous smile.
"The numbers are quite accurate. You will be protecting the Earth, not just some traffic cop. We have more important uses for you than that. I am talking about natural disasters, terrorist attacks, alien invasions, etc. All are actual problems that have happened on our planet already."
"You went to a meeting with the King of the planet and walked out as princess?" 18 asked me with a smirk, ignoring my explanation.
"I hear she was the original choice for successor, but had to explain why she would be better off as the leader of this force," Carina said with a smirk of her own.
"Yes, well there are things we need to be ready for. I can't do that if I am babysitting a world. Plus, Gohan would be better than I am at it, he will be a much better choice if it happens. I will be more of an Ambassador to the galaxy and any other beings that show up."
Krillin and 18 exchanged glances before he spoke, "You know you are terrifying, right Chiyo?"
We found Vegeta in a kitchen having lunch with Bulma. What better time than now?
I gave them my pitch but then gave the true reason, "Look, it is just an excuse to train as your job, you get paid, which doesn't matter to you, but what's more important than getting stronger? Now you have an excuse to not make Bulma mad. You would just be working."
"Hmph" Vegeta said while still eating.
"I'll have him sign it and give it back to you Chiyo, are you working here tomorrow?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah, I'll do a full day tomorrow," I said.
I looked over to Vegeta but Bulma talked before that, "So why did you pass that 'powerful form' to Vegeta, Chiyo?"
I froze at that, obviously, Bulma would find out, but I still wasn't expecting it. Carina looked at me curiously, still not versed in Saiyan transformations. I glanced at her, before looking back to Bulma, and before I could speak she did.
"Don't answer, I already know. You felt guilty because you took the power from someone, right? You felt like you couldn't or shouldn't use it so you saw Vegeta here," She slapped her husband's arm. He just looked at her with narrowed eyes but continued eating, "And figured that he would make a good person to pass it off on, am I right?"
"Well, if he wasn't able to become a Super Saiyan Go-" I interrupted myself before Carina fully heard me say, God, "Super Saiyan Red, then I would have tried to give it back to the person I took it from originally."
"The person you wished it from, but Vegeta said you nearly died while giving it to him, is this true Chiyo?" Bulma had a smile, but it was not pleasant, it was threatening and pointed right at me.
I sighed as Carina was looking back and forth with worry and curiosity, "I- I think he died yes, I survived due to my healing abilities...but it was more than that Bulma, the form was incompatible with me, I am only a half-Saiyan and its power is not something I can work with."
"Tsch, you can lie to us all you want, you made a decision out of guilt, and it nearly killed you. You who is talking about how there are so many troubles coming to earth that only you can help solve," Vegeta said with a mocking tone.
"What-" Vegeta interrupted me.
"Silence! I am tired of you hiding behind this potential threat in the future. You walk around with no consequences for your actions like you are so perfect just cause you can see parts of the future. But there are always consequences. You chose to stop using the Legendary Form, you chose to give it away like you are some divine being handing out power like candy."
"THEN WHY DID YOU ACCEPT, IT? You are always going on about how it has to be your own power, why did you accept becoming a god, why did you accept the Legendary Form?" I asked, with frustration.
Carina backed away as both Vegeta and I faced off, our powers rising to meet each other, but he didn't respond and only stared at me, so I yelled again, this time my voice empowered by Ki, "WHY?"
He looked to Bulma then back to me, "Tsch, impudent brat...because of my family!"
Bulma's face broke from the frown she was wearing at our confrontation into a smile, but she kept watching.
"You took the power to protect Bulma, Trunks, and your future daughter?"
He didn't answer but he flinched, "Good, then I do not regret it. This isn't some game in which it matters if you are stronger than my dad, but if we aren't strong enough, all of us die. As simple as that."
He growled but went back to his spot at the table, "Fool of a brat, you are just as foolish as your father and you gave up power-"
It was my turn to interrupt, "I GAVE NOTHING AWAY, you are right that part of this was to fight my guilt to some degree, but I am not lying that the power isn't compatible with me, I haven't accessed it since the Majin Buu fight, and I wanted to be rid of it."
He shook his head at that, "I will never understand the foolish things you do, but whatever. Stop bringing it up to me."
"I am not finished talking about this young lady," Bulma said.
I tried to excuse Carina but Bulma wouldn't allow that. We sat and talked, I told Carina everything about us being half Saiyans, and the powers we wield, and we discussed how my actions of handing the Legendary Super form away were an act of young stupidity. I don't regret doing it but I understand that it wasn't the best way to fight my guilt over the form.
Gohan and Videl met Carina and me at a coffee shop after they got out of school. We started our pitch and immediately Gohan just raised his hand and shook his head.
"This is what you were asking me the other day right? To make Videl and The Gold Fighter legitimate?" Gohan asked me.
"Yup, you will both be on patrol duties throughout this whole area, and you can work as a team. The only differences will be in larger threats which would you would probably be helping with anyways. This just gives legality to operate throughout the world, government backing and support, and also something to add on to both of your resumes when and if you agree to take the throne," I said.
Videl shook her head, "I get your reasoning for it, I just feel like it's so much."
"Videl, you do not have to do this by any means. I just know that you fly out into the city along with my brother every day to help people. Imagine what you and Gohan can do for an entire world when you have me backing you up with our organization. You want to help people, this is the way that you both can help the most," I explained with all my passion. "Plus you are on my team, and acting as members of the Z Force you can always take breaks from ruling the world to go save people," I said with a smile.
"Chiyo, I think I can speak for both Gohan and myself when I say that you are absolutely terrifying," Videl said.
I looked at them with suspicious eyes, "That is what Krillin said... did I do something scary?"
Gohan, Videl, and Carina laughed before he spoke up, "Well sis, I am in if Videl is, you are right that there is a lot of good we can do but I just feel like it is a lot at once."
I nodded, "No worries, you have a few years before you officially have to accept the actual throne right? I promise that I will take over if you do not wish for it by then, and immediately offer my agency to you Videl."
Videl looked confused, "Why me?"
I looked over at Carina and then nodded, "Well, I would give it to Carina, but even when I teach her to use her Ki it will be a long time until she is even at your level. The leader of the Z Guard needs to be powerful enough to hold their own against all but the worst. That is you," When I told Carina about teaching her to use ki her heart seemed to stop for a second as she looked at me in shock.
I smirked at her, "I told you that you earned my trust Carina, but I didn't tell you why. It was because I have read your mind and found that you are a good person. I never would have accepted you as my assistant if you didn't have...well, I won't speak on your motivations. But I will teach you to wield your Ki, okay?"
She just looked shocked, "I...I can't say I am happy about you reading my mind."
I nodded with a shrug, "This isn't some casual organization, I am relying on you to help me protect this planet. You can't help with your power level yet, but you are amazing at administration, organization, scheduling, and more. I apologize for invading your privacy, but I wasn't about to let someone unethical in as my number two."
She nodded and looked uncomfortable, but resigned.
Turning my attention back to Gohan and Videl, "Anyways, I hope that is good enough for both of you, and I promise to be there whenever you need me, now or when you both are ruling," I said.
Gohan looked at Videl with a smile, he nodded at her and her worry seemed to go down a bit, "Don't worry sis, we know you got our back." Gohan said.
After meeting with Gohan and Videl, Carina and I went around meeting with the rest of the members that I wanted to include. I got Tien to agree, and he was also accepted as a trainer. He asked if he can invite members from his gym if they make it to a high enough level of power. I nodded but said that we will have to work with them to see when they will be ready. I had to agree to pay Chiaotzu as well, and that was easily agreed upon.
Yamcha surprisingly agreed when we found him and he was quite nervous for some reason. He was looking around as if looking for someone, I tried to ask for help but he just assured me that it was fine as long as Chichi isn't near. I was confused at that, but maybe my mom scared him?
Piccolo was confused about why I asked him to join, but I explained how much he meant to the protection of this world and its people. I wanted him to accept as a trainer when the time came, but since I unlocked his potential, his power has been one of the strongest on the planet. He went toe to toe with Goku, Vegeta, Me, and Gohan. He didn't lose.
I got him to agree as long as he got to focus on his training mostly. It was an easy thing to agree to, and we shook on it.
The strangest encounter among all of my recruitment was Android 17. This was a few days after my first round of recruitment and when we found him, he was fighting a huge group of some sort of military force on his island. 18, Carina and I looked on in confusion. He beat up nearly 100 people as they shot guns, artillery, and rockets at 17. He was unfazed and took them all down, but only knocked them out.
When we finally met with him he casually smiled at his sister, "Long time sis."
"It has been, how are you brother?"
"I am fine, just protecting my island here."
"Are those men trying to take this place over? Who do they represent? It isn't as if there is another country around here." Carina asked with confusion.
17 raised an eyebrow at her, "It is a series of poaching organizations that are trying to catch the unique wildlife on this island."
"This is a world-protected park, isn't it? You are working as a park ranger?" I asked curiously.
He nodded and I did as well, "Well I will get straight to it, I am trying to recruit you to a new organization, but I think you have a few hangups on account of that. So give me 15 minutes and I will make some changes."
Everyone except Carina looked at me curiously as I motioned for her to join me. When we got back onto our Capsule Ship I explained what we needed from Carina and the Dragon World Government.
In 4 hours a huge force of people, including military, wildlife specialists, scientists, and construction workers began to move in. We had already had plans to set up a military blockade, the people 17 knocked out were all arrested and interrogated by the military. We are going to use this island as a publicity stunt while simultaneously starting an actual wildlife reserve.
I know there are people who care about animals and dinosaurs on this planet, we just have to spark their interest. King Furry himself was working with us on this project and he wholeheartedly approved.
We spent a whole day on the island with a portable house Capsule I had brought. 18 left to go take care of her family and I started a multi-million Zeni project to protect this island which was actually called Monster Island, though it just has a series of genetic quirks that manifested themselves in different creatures.
People are wildly curious to study it, and the moment everyone discovered that we were protecting the island news across the world was enthralled with all the amazing creatures that were being photographed. It was made clear that attempts to take the animals by poachers were going to be stopped with force, many people were indifferent, but a lot others were supportive.
In the end, 17 agreed to join the Z Force when I put the option of a month-long cruise trip for him and his wife as a signing bonus. A place for his family to stay was also offered. There were enough residences on the Z Campus for every employee and their families. 17 didn't have a daughter yet, but I bet a cruise trip would help with that. We shook hands and he agreed to become one of our Z Guardians.
A month after I had our first batch of Z Guardians on the payroll, they broke ground for our new facility. It was great to watch them begin to work on the facility that would be the size of a stadium, knowing that my actions have started this. It is beginning to feel like I am having an effect on this world. Hopefully, it will be something positive, if everything goes the way that I want then it will be, but that hasn't exactly happened yet.
My failure with Majin Buu could bring about huge consequences if things go wrong. It's because of the Grand Supreme Kai and his godly powers that rested inside Good Buu. That power would have helped against Moro the World Eater. Now I will have to go with plan B, which involves another wish from Shenron. This time I won't be giving up or stealing powers.
I continued training with everyone I could, but all of the Z Guardians were training on their own until the Z Campus is finished.
I was training with my dad and Gohan one day when we realized that some of my other techniques were not as they thought they were. It turns out that I didn't actually use the full Multiform Technique as was specifically meant to be used, but rather a type of spirit control that enabled me to inhabit different spaces at once, but just for a limited time. That was why I couldn't keep my clones up for more than a few seconds, but my power didn't split as it did with the Multiform. This was why my attacks were still strong when hitting from different angles from other clones.
This spirit control was increased from not only Instant Transmission, and the process that goes with it, but also from my Healing Power. I didn't realize this either until I was healing a nasty bruise on my dad's ribs courtesy of Gohan.
"Chiyo, you have great Spirit Control."
"What do you mean?"
My dad looked at me confused, "Your healing...it uses spirit control to determine how well you can heal someone."
It was like an explosion went off and I reeled as it made a lot of sense. I had been able to heal because of my wish to Shenron. But he enabled the ability by increasing my knowledge of Spirit Control. I went to Dende to officially learn how to use it, and my Spirit Control had been enhanced through his teachings.
This meant that I wasn't using the Multiform technique at all, instead creating short-lived Ki-clones. It was a surprising revelation and I began to try to learn how to better access my Spirit Control with the goal of learning Forced Spirit Fission.
The whole process of being named a Prince and Princess of Earth was as ridiculous as I thought it would be. Gohan and I got dressed up in our finest clothing. I had a black dress that went to mid-thigh with silver highlights, allowing my black tail to wrap down my right leg. The dress left my left shoulder open and wrapped around my body at an angle. We had an army of people helping with hair and makeup and after a few hours, we were both ready.
I had some waterfall earrings, a wrapped silver-vine bracelet, and a necklace that was all silver, matching my dress. It looked great and Gohan looked handsome in a black suit with silver pinstripes, a tie, and a pocket square over a black shirt. I bought him a very nice silver and blue watch that he was wearing and I noticed something else as well.
"Gohan!" I said with hostility.
"Y-yeah, Chiyo?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"
"It happened last night! I swear!" Gohan said.
"Go on!" I said.
"What?" Gohan asked worriedly.
"WHAT HAPPENED?" I asked.
"Uhm, you know we went on a date and she asked me when we were flying over the ocean."
"She asked you?" I asked with a smile.
"Y-yeah."
"Awww that is so sweet. Congrats brother! I am so happy for you two!" I said while leaning in for a hug. "Mom is going to freak though."
Gohan gulped and looked genuinely scared.
Videl asked my brother to marry her, that is amazing. "You should tell her today, maybe it will just get lost in the craziness?" I asked hopefully.
He just nodded.
We were in a waiting room as King Furry was speaking in the massive entry courtyard to his palace. There were easily a few thousand people, the roads coming to the palace were blocked with traffic and when we flew in on one of our Capsule Shuttles we could see the crowd going wild below us.
The announcement of Gohan and I becoming the Heirs with Gohan as the Crown Prince and me who would be Princess in the title, becoming the leader of the Z Guardians and the official Ambassador of Earth to the Galactic community.
The process itself involved making speeches and accepting a crown for Gohan and a small diadem for me. It was ceremonial and the crowds loved it. It was in the world news for weeks to come. The number of pictures was nearly overwhelming as flashes of light cascaded across the courtyard. It was quite a show when we were finally finished with the ceremony and we left the crowds for a small celebration with country leaders that we're under King Furry.
We shook hands and met people for hours into the night. Pictures with people were nonstop and I only had a few people comment on my tail. No one dared to touch it though or I would have had to show them the dangers of doing something so foolish.
From this night on I had a full crowd of paparazzi who followed Gohan, Videl, and myself all around. I had some security hired for when I was doing business on behalf of the State or the Z Guardians. I was also offered obscene amounts of money to model for certain magazines which I stayed away from, that being said, there were fan groups forming and they were crazy, to say the least.
Our parents and the Ox King were also at the ceremony, and I am pretty sure at some point my mom passed out from exhaustion. She was screaming for us at the top of her lungs as we were being crowned. It was hilarious and embarrassing but also heartwarming.
Bulma was at the celebration afterward, it turns out she had way more connections with King Furry's government than I had originally thought. But it made sense when thinking about the myriad of technology that all had the CC of Capsule Corp plastered on it. It is clear the influence that the company had on the entire world. There are many rural areas that fall behind but Bulma is always working to increase technology.
By the end of the day, we were all tired and ready for bed, but we had made a fantastic official first impression.
Nearly 6 months had passed since the declaration of Gohan and me as Prince and Princess of the Earth and I had been wildly busy. Carina Florez, my number 2 at the Z Guardians had been the entire controlling force for our construction engineers as I was working to finish the rest of the details for the construction as most of the main structure had already gone up.
We had a whole mini-shopping mall and food court as the campus just kept expanding with donations. I am not making it an attraction, but more like a free place for the workers to take their families. I would only charge for merchandise and the food would be provided for free for everyone. It isn't like feeding a few hundred normal people would even compare to the amount of food a batch of Saiyans can put down. Especially ones that are in training.
There have even been ideas to turn much of the nearby fields into farmland to help provide the amount of food needed to feed the Guardians. I was actually interested in doing just that and made my intentions known to Carina. She had almost immediately contacted some huge farming associations and through them they started a multi-million Zeni farming initiative to turn this huge area into farmland. There was already a plethora of water and with Capsule Technology, ensuring more is brought here isn't a problem.
Since power wasn't a problem with Infinite Energy Machines we only had to worry about the rest, as I purchased the required equipment at a huge discount from Bulma.
It was interesting switching back and forth from speaking to her on a professional level about purchasing millions of Zeni's worth of high-tech equipment and working directly with her on building a few star ships.
We had officially given the three ships the designations "Universal Cruisers" given that they would be able to travel throughout Universe 7. Babidi was not from our galaxy, but the technology we adapted from him and other sources allowed us to build ships that are now capable of traveling those distances.
When I finished incorporating my Ki Based Projection array and storage systems we made a strange discovery. Since the ship had my energy moving throughout it I had filled the massive Ki storage systems, it had a sort of Circulatory System of Ki Energy that moved alongside the power but then ended in a massive array throughout the exterior of the ship. When the array was charged and ki was flowing throughout the ship, I could actually lift the ship telekinetically.
I then posed the question to Bulma, "So, if I can interact with the ship through my Ki...could I potentially add controls to use just by manipulating the energy somehow? Could I turn the ship on, have the engines hover, turn invisible, and project Ki shields, while just manipulating my energy?"
"Huh," Bulma said.
Bulma then began drawing designs and figured out how to add a series of switches inside a secondary Ki reserve that I can manipulate if filled with my energy. I would have to have my energy flow into the switches or just leave it there to essentially 'flip' switches when I wanted.
There was also a series of Ki-levers that controlled the output so I could adjust the power of the engines and shields separately with just my Ki-control abilities. I found I could still activate the ship and control it from nearly halfway across the world.
The second thing that I noticed while playing with the ki interaction to my ship was that I had left a nearly full Coffee mug on a counter, despite sending the ship flying as fast as I could, the gravitational systems completely eliminated any and all force that was felt on the inside of the ship.
It was incredible as I tried to knock the cup over while controlling the ship with my mind. I could feel that it was moving, but there was absolutely nothing to feel. It still didn't have most of the furniture, or interiors yet, but the engine and control systems were up and running just fine. The Ki systems were the first to be integrated as they were part of the hull as well as the power.
By the time my second birthday happened in 7 months, we would be finished building our Universe Cruisers and the Z Force Headquarters. Things were busy, but they were beginning to come together.
