Chapter 8: Figure.09

Bulma was above ground tinkering with an old spacecraft, looking as if she were exerting a lot of thought and effort as to why the contraption wasn�t flying straight. She was in the middle of barking orders to some of the above ground subordinates when the doors to the lab flew open and several caped aliens entered and began to approach her.

�Oh shit�� was the first thought entering Bulma�s mind as the leader in front, a tall orange creature with a rumpled forehead came within speaking distance.

�Professor Briefs?� it asked.

Bulma nodded, �Yes?�

�My name is Chrevfh, a general in Freiza�s great army,� the alien introduced itself.

�An honor to meet your acquaintance,� Bulma made a quick bow, anxious to get to what this was all about.

�I realize you�re busy so I shall make this brief��

�That�s a relief� Bulma thought.

�The inventions produced here at Capsule Corp. have made significant improvements to the Cold Empire�s armies, and for that Capsule Corp has been granted extended operating grants as well.�

�Thank you, that is good news to hear,� Bulma feigned a smile.

�Also, for the new contract, operations for Capsule Corporation will be moved to Zwexia Seven for better security against outside threats.�

Bulma quickly interjected, �That seems hardly necessary, we have more than enough security procedures in place here to protect our resources from any�� A raised hand cut Bulma off.

�Before you waste any more breath, this order comes directly from Frieza himself. It is imperative for the Cold Empire that none of the Capsule trade secrets fall into the hands of our enemies. Frieza will be coming to earth himself to make a public recognition of your efforts.�

�Frieza is coming� here?� Bulma asked shocked.

�Yes, his Excellency is gracing you all with his presence to make known the value of your contributions to all.�

Bulma fell silent for a moment, and then nodded, �I understand, we will cooperate with any needs Master Frieza may desire.�

�I thought as much, that is all for now, do take care for the next two months, that is when the ceremony will take place. Security will remain your concern until then.�

�Yes thank you for the information,� The alien saluted Bulma who bowed in response before turning to leave with his escorts.

Bulma waited for them to leave the building before returning to what she was working on before. After an hour of mindlessly tinkering with the device she looked over to one of her closer allies and gave her a signal to take over things for a while.

Making absolutely sure no one was still in the building watching her; she opened the door to the underground and stepped inside.
Gohan and Trunks were sparring at seventy five times gravity in the training center of the base. They were both getting fast in this gravity setting, blurring around the room and nearly disappearing then colliding with the other.

The two were leaping at each other when the gravitron suddenly shut off, �Emergency Override Activated, returning to normal gravity setting.� The two looked puzzled at the machine for a moment before the momentum they had built up in heightened gravity caused them to crash into each other pretty hard and they fell to the floor.

The door opened as they were still rubbing their heads, �Trunks, Gohan!� Bulma shouted running in, ��Are you two alright?�

�Fine� just how about a little more warning the next time you decide to shut the machine off� we were so not ready for that�� Trunks groaned slowly standing back up.

�So sorry guys, but I didn�t have much time, and I was so lost in thought I forgot my communicator upstairs.�

�Don�t worry about it, but what are you doing down here at this time of day anyway Bulma?� Gohan asked curiously.

�I just got word that Frieza himself is coming to earth,� the room fell deathly silent.

�What for?� Trunks finally asked coldly.

�Believe it or not, he�s coming to �congratulate� Capsule Corp apparently for our contributions to the Cold Empire.� Bulma stated.

�That�s just sick�� Trunks shook his head.

�Oh it gets better, he also intends on moving Capsule Corp to another planet for better security,� Bulma broke the news.

�Oh fuck�� Trunks let out under his breath.

�Trunks! Watch your language! Especially around Gohan.�

�It�s OK Bulma� I�ve heard a lot worse� but still, what are we going to do?�

�Yeah mom, we can�t just up and move operations, and don�t even think of splitting Capsule Corp up, it just wouldn�t work without having all of this together the way it is.�

�I know Trunks, I know!� Bulma shook her head, �I can come to just one conclusion� Frieza is forcing our hand; he�ll be on earth in two months� that�s when we make our move.�

Again silence filled the room.

�Are you serious?� Trunks asked without any real tone to his voice. He just needed to make sure he wasn�t hearing things.

Bulma nodded, �Absolutely, we have the new batteries and assault suits on our side. If we�re to make a move� then it�s time��

Trunks nodded, �It�s go time then��

�We can put the current models of our suits and mechs into mass production starting immediately� the biggest problem is we don�t have enough people to use it all� We have our resistance fighters� but even with the technology we�ve developed� we�re talking a few hundred warriors against all the force Frieza will bring with him� The numbers just aren�t good enough��

Trunks gritted his teeth, �It�s not hopeless! There�s gotta be something we can do to help our odds.�

�Umm�� The two of them turned to Gohan who looked as if he was trying to speak, �I� I might know some people willing to help.�

Trunks and Bulma looked at him for a moment blinking a few times. Bulma finally replied, �Gohan, honey� It�s not that we don�t trust you, far from that you�re the one we do trust with everything. But understand how hard it is to fully trust outsiders to what goes on here. If word got out about our underground operations it would mean the end for all of us.�

�I know that, but only the most trusted� I know who needs to be left out of this. Even a few will help right?�

Trunks let a small smile out, �Yeah, it would.�

Bulma sighed and nodded, �We need to just be as careful as possible, we don�t want to attract attention.�

�Right, then we�ll get plans rolling, we need to move fast especially if we only have two months to train everyone in how to use this equipment.� Trunks grinned at Gohan who gave him a weak smile in return.

Bulma turned to leave, �Then I leave the rest to you two, I need to get back up top. I want you to also pick up a suit from the lab to try out and start working with.�

�Will do,� Trunks reassured her.

�Be careful, OK?�

�Always!� Gohan gave her a thumbs up as she left completely.

As soon as she was gone Trunks let out a deep sigh. He was trying to cope with receiving this news so suddenly. In just two months earth would either be free of Frieza�s rule� or� they�d all be dead. He looked over at Gohan and snapped himself out of it as fast as he could realizing he needed to be strong for him too.

�Come on Gohan, let�s go get tailored up for the latest assault suit.� Trunks gave Gohan a confident smile.

�Sure�� Gohan actually wasn�t too sure about what an assault suit even was.
Down at the bottom lab Trunks lead Gohan around to the eastern side of the lab area where a large compression chamber was sealed with a few scientists working around it.

�Trunks,� one of them acknowledged, �Your mother sent word that this is the model to be mass produced already.�

�Good, then we�re each going to need one,� Trunks informed her.

�They�re actually one size fits all, they�ve been tested to stretch to gigantic proportions and still easily compress back to their normal size,� The chamber opened with a hiss of air sound and the woman pulled out two cases. She handed both Gohan and Trunks a case, �Why don�t you try them on anyway, you can change in the room right over there,� she pointed a booth set up nearby.

�Thanks,� Trunks motioned for Gohan to follow him into the room.

Once inside they opened up the cases. Inside was a garment unlike anything Gohan had ever seen before. His was really dark blue and appeared to be a complete body suit. Gohan looked it over and was getting a little confused that it looked to be about half his size, �They stretch remember?� Trunks answered preempting his question. �They still fit pretty skin tight,� Trunks was stripping off his clothes down to the buff before putting the suit on.

Gohan followed Trunks� example and pulled off his training clothes. Even under the circumstances Trunks couldn�t help but watch Gohan undress. Gohan fit himself into the stretchy body suit, taking a moment to squeeze through the sleeves while jumping around a little trying to get it on right. Trunks chuckled a little while getting his black suit on with much less frustration. �It gets easier once you realize you don�t have to go through all that.�

�You�ve worn these before?� Gohan asked.

�Earlier versions of them, the original armor actually came with our parents when they arrived from outer space, these have been superbly modified from those though. You can barely tell they�re based off of those anymore.�

Gohan finally got his body suit on all the way and noticed it even had a sleeve for his tail. Trunks looked over how the suit clung to the skin of his thin yet muscled body. �Now� what?� Gohan asked looking up at Trunks noticing he had been staring at him. A smirk came across Gohan�s face as he looked down at the tight suit he was wearing, �Like what you see huh?� He turned and showed off the suit more.

�Uh-huh,� Trunks smiled, �but anyway, there�s more in the case still.�

Gohan checked the case again and noticed there were multiple drawer layers that pulled out exposing more armor pieces under them. He pulled out boots, gloves, a belt, and what looked like a chest armor piece. Gohan looked down at his gloves and boots after putting them on, they actually made his feet, lower legs, and forearms look bigger. The belt had some kind of pad on it, the armor had a strange round slot on the inside. Gohan almost would have missed something else inside the case as it was covered by a layer of vinyl fabric. It was small and round, but as he picked it up, the pressure caused it to grow revealing it to be a matching helmet with visor. �Whoa��

After putting everything on, Gohan looked over himself in the mirror. He really almost felt like a superhero in this outfit, kind of like the Flash but with darker colors.

�You�re still missing something,� Trunks motioned to the case again. Gohan looked and saw there was actually a pocket on the lid of the case. Inside there was a thin metallic cylinder. Gohan looked over it a little before returning his gaze to Trunks. �That�s the GX-3200.�

�The battery you were talking about before?� Trunks nodded, �How does it work?�

�Did you see the round slot inside your armor?� Gohan nodded, �Plug it in!�

Gohan pulled his armor forward and slid the battery underneath and fit it into the slot. He felt a slight tingle, but nothing much.

Gohan looked confused, �Now what?�

Trunks walked over to him, �If I know this thing right, you activate it by pressing this,� Trunks rubbed his finger along the pad on the belt. Gohan�s armor began to resonate energy patterns from the armor�s center all the way across the suit. Gohan looked down at his hands which were glowing with the suits power.

�Wow��

Trunk agreed, these suits were pretty cool, he activated his belt and the energy patterns on his suit did the same thing. �Try powering up?�

�Sure,� Gohan lowered his stance and started calling out his power. His Chi started building around him, and immediately Trunks noticed a difference. For one, even the color of Gohan�s aura pattern changed. Gohan started glowing a bright red, and as the energy continued to build he found it challenging to keep his power in check enough to stop the room from collapsing around them. Trunks powered up the same way and a bright red aura surrounded him also. �These things are pretty cool, it�s so easy to move�� Gohan changed stances and hopped around a bit.

�The helmet also has a built in scouter function, but it�s still not as good as being able to sense your enemies naturally. From what my mom told me the suits even generate a nullification field which cancels out energy blasts directed at you which fall between certain power levels and energy frequencies! It�s nice to know you don�t even have to worry about energy blasts from the small fries at all. The battery also transfers power to you through the suit which is why our chi is so different like this. It adds its power to our own and amplifies the users own potential which still means the stronger you are, the stronger the suit can make you.�

Gohan took it all in. He clenched his fist and watched the static build up around his hand and arm, �This is great, and anyone can use these suits then��

�Just about,� Trunks thought, �as long as the suit meets their basic anatomy shape, you know like how they custom made these suits with a tail sleeve for us.�

Gohan wrapped his tail under his belt, �I see.�

�We�ll be training a little in these suits to get more adjusted to them for when it�s time for the real battle. How about we show these off to everyone outside?� Trunks motioned to the door with his head.

Gohan gave him a thumbs up, �Sure.�

They walked outside the changing booth and most of the work being done nearby came to a halt. The red glow the suits gave off with those two made the lights of the room dim. The way the power pulsed across the suit every few seconds and even how dark in color they were to begin with made them very formidable in appearance. Compared to traditional armor worn by the Cold Empire soldiers� there truly was no comparison.

One of the scientists leaned over to one of her partners and whispered, �If only they�d give up through sheer intimidation alone huh?� The other scientist could only nod.

The whispers attracted the attention of the entire lab, even Dr. Gero came over to see what was going on. His eyes widened upon seeing the two standing there and he pulled out a device from his pocket and held it in their direction. It beeped a little before giving him a reading, and he gasped, �It�s no good� not if it can�t beat that�� he pocketed the device again and returned to his station.

A few of the scientists, once broken from their reverie, stepped over to the two demi-Saiyans to make a few adjustments to the suits. Once they were sure the suits were configured properly to them, Gohan and Trunks returned to the booth to change back into their normal clothes.

Gohan noticed Trunks mood lifted a little since the news broke about only having two months until Frieza�s arrival. After seeing what these suits were capable of, maybe he was feeling a little more confident was all Gohan could think of on the matter.

The two grabbed their cases with the armor packed neatly in them again and started to leave. On the way out Gohan was stopped by one of the scientists, �Gohan, I�m sorry but I just realized there�s a setting in your belt that was left out, could I see it for a moment so I can fix it?�

�Sure,� Gohan lifted the case onto the table and the person got to work on fixing the problem.

Trunks eyes shifted as he thought about something, �Shoot, we need to hurry, I forgot I was supposed to do something��

Gohan looked at him concerned, �Well� in that case, you don�t need to wait for me, how about you go take care of it, I�ll wait for whatever they�re doing to my belt, and we�ll meet for lunch?�

Trunks smiled, �Sounds good, see you in a bit,� he waved as he ran off.

Gohan waited patiently for a few more minutes before the scientist working on his belt closed the pad with a click and placed it back in the case, �OK, all done,� it handed the case back to Gohan.

�Thanks,� Gohan took it and started to leave the lab also.

Gohan almost made it to the door when a gruff voice stopped him, �Gohan.�

He turned and saw Dr. Gero motioning for him to follow him. He looked around noticing no one paying attention to either of them, thought about it for a second, but gave into curiosity and followed the old man to a secondary lab room. Once inside, Gero shut the door so no one could hear them, �Listen to me Gohan, and tell no one of what I�m about to tell you� Do you want to help Vegeta?�

Gohan�s ears perked up in hearing the name of Trunks� dad mentioned, �What do you mean? How?�

�One question at a time damn it� First let me explain that I am building Vegeta a body, an android body, but it�s been difficult making one compatible with Saiyan genes. And even more difficult is making one to match a power output greater than those batteries can produce� There�s no point to the android process if the power yields can�t be higher than that,� Gohan nodded, somewhat understanding the situation.

�So what is it that you need me to do?�

Gero scowled, �I need a specific Saiyan DNA sample.�

�You mean, you need to draw my blood or something?� Gohan started to lift up the sleeve of hisshirt.

��More specific than that I�m afraid,� Gero handed Gohan a cup. Gohan took the cup and looked at it, and then gave Dr. Gero a confused look, ��Goddamn it boy, I need a semen sample!�

Gohan�s cheeks flushed a little red in understanding now what he was expected to do� �Umm� where� Where should I do this at?�

�You can take a seat over there just hurry,� Gero pointed to the other side of the room.

�There�s not exactly much privacy over there�� Gohan mentioned.

�I won�t look, just get on with it!� Dr. Gero turned his back to Gohan and he moved to the other side of the room. Gohan took a deep breath and started undoing his belt buckle, �This isn�t going to take very long is it?� Gero asked sounding impatient.

�Just give me a minute here! You really need to learn how to be nicer to people who are helping you out�� Gohan tried filling his thoughts with erotic images, like he and Trunks the other day in the spa, and in the shower. Gohan pulled his pants and boxers down to his knees and sat down. He started by just caressing himself until he got a good erection, then his hand started sliding up and down it. He looked around the room a little, �I don�t suppose you have any lube or anything like that to help do you?�

�NO! I do not want a contaminated sample, so don�t think of using your spit either!� Gero demanded.

�Gee I was just asking�� Gohan leaned back and just tried to get into it. He pictured Trunks sucking him off. He saw Trunks� mouth sliding up and down his dick, and his hands touching him everywhere. Trunks liked to touch him. Gohan�s own hand reached between his legs and rubbed his skin there.

Gohan�s hand picked up the pace and started stroking faster. In his mind Trunks was still giving him a blow job, and pinching his nipples, and fingering his ass. Gohan started moaning as he bucked in the seat. He was getting closer to his quick release. His hand became a blur of movement until his grip became suddenly tighter, pushing himself deep into his own hand, �Trunks�� he let out under his breath, almost forgetting he needed to get his stuff in the cup.

Once his orgasm faded a little, he actually found himself wondering if he had said that last part out loud� He looked up and saw one of Dr. Gero�s eyes cocked at him funny, �HEY! You said you wouldn�t look!�

Dr. Gero quickly looked the other way, allowing Gohan to finish up. Once Gohan had his belt buckled he walked over to Gero and tapped him on the shoulder, giving him the cup with the collected specimen, �That�s all you needed, right?�

Gero nodded, �Yes,� he took the cup over to a table and sealed the lid on it, pausing for a moment before saying, �Thank you.�

�Wow an actual word of thanks? That wasn�t so hard was it?� Gohan started to walk toward the door.

�The DNA sample collected here will be of great aid in constructing a bio android process capable of hosting Vegeta,�

�Great, see you later doc.� Gohan waved as he stepped out the door, and the door shut again behind him.

Dr. Gero walked over to a computer and pressed a button that ejected a disc, �The video collected for my personal library was just an added bonus,� Gero grinned evilly to himself.
Gohan first went up to his room and left his case with his suit in the closet. He then took off to meet Trunks for lunch. He ran into the kitchen and saw Trunks already there waiting for him, �Took a while did it?� Trunks asked.

�Just a little while,� Gohan smiled to him and they grabbed their food and went to find a place to sit. �So what was it you needed to check out?� Gohan asked.

Trunks nodded, �If I�m not mistaken, when you said you knew people who�d be willing to join our cause, you meant your friends back at the Rogues, right?�

Gohan nodded, �Some of them, yes.�

�How many?�

Gohan thought about it, �Well in the Rouges alone I�d say there should be at least thirty trustworthy people, but there�s also other groups or �gangs�, and anti-imperialists that we know� All in all� if needed I should be able to get us at least three hundred people.�

Trunks eyes widened, �Wow��

�Why?�

Trunks looked off to the side, �Well I wasn�t expecting you to tell me a number that high� but I was still trying to think how we could get that many people here without anyone noticing.�

Gohan nodded following the train of thought, �Yeah it would look pretty obvious that something was going on if a huge group like that just suddenly marched into the Capsule Corp front door.�

�Exactly,� Trunks nodded, �Which is why I was looking through the old caverns that used to connect to us near the water supply.�

�There�re caverns near here?� Gohan sounded surprised.

�Well� There used to be� our mining for water caused some of them to collapse, so I was trying to figure out how much debris is in the way, and if it�s safe to clear it without risking further collapse.� Trunks looked back over to Gohan finally and noticed most of the food was already gone, �HEY!�

Gohan looked up from slurping bowl of noodles, �Oops� I guess I got carried away� hehe�� He pushed Trunks portions back over to his side of the table.

�You�re like a little black hole now�� Trunks took a few bites of his food, �You at least heard what I was saying right?�

�Caverns, collapsed, debris in the way, yeah.� Gohan chugged down a soda before continuing, �So you�re thinking if we can clear this debris safely then it would be possible to sneak any new resistance force into the place through the caverns underground.�

�Exactly!� Trunks smiled.

�Sounds like a plan, when do we get started?�

�As soon as I�m done eating, give me a bit, geesh!� Trunks laughed mockingly at Gohan. Gohan shook his head and waited patiently.

Once Trunks was done, he took Gohan down to the water reclamation area, �It�s through this hatch.� After twisting it open, there was a metal stair case leading down. Heading down a little ways, the metal walls began giving way for stone. The stairs ended and the light was faint. Trunks handed Gohan a flashlight so they could see well.

The cavern was moist; Gohan could tell they were near the water line. The flashlights they had were very bright, and lit a good distance down the cavern. They came across the first chunk of debris that Gohan could tell Trunks was able to clear away for the most part. They kept walking for a couple miles before coming to another cave in.

�This is the one I�m worried about,� Trunks motioned up to the ceiling with his flashlight. The ceiling was cracked and there were drips of water coming through the cracks.
Gohan whistled, �There must be some body of water up there� yeah if we�re not careful, that could flood this whole place.� Gohan examined it more, �Trunks look,� Gohan motioned from side to side of the ceiling with his flashlight, �The left side is cracked and all, but the closer you get to the right, it looks more stable, what if we dug around the debris into the wall on the right?�

Trunks nodded, �It�s worth a shot.� He put his flashlight away and held his hand out. An energy ball began to form in his hand and he approached the rocky debris. His energy ball rolled over rock, disintegrating it as it did so. He flared it up a little, and began walking forward, making a pathway around the debris.

Gohan followed suit, and did the same helping clear out space along the path. They carefully worked at this for about half an hour before coming out on the other side of the debris and back into the cavern. �Alright! We did it!� Gohan cheered

Trunks laughed, �There�s still a few more we have to worry about,� and they continued down the cavern. After three more debris fields they finally cleared the way to the cavern�s exit. The sun was setting and the two looked out onto the mountain range the cavern exited to.

�Wow� This is really pretty,� Gohan looked around at actual trees and running water that filled this valley.

�Yeah� not too many spots like this left�� Trunks wrapped his arms around Gohan from behind and joined him at just watching the scenery. They rocked back and forth for a bit before their Saiyan hearing picked up something a little ways off.

�You hear that Trunks?� Gohan whispered.

�I think so��

They listened harder and made out, �The scouters picked something up around here just a little while ago.�

�Shit�� Trunks grabbed Gohan and dove to the cavern wall to hide. He felt so stupid for forgetting the cavern wasn�t shielded like their base was to protect against scouter sweeps. Two armored aliens floated down into the valley where Trunks and Gohan could see them.

�What are we gonna do Trunks?� Gohan looked worried. He knew first hand that once imperial soldiers picked something up on their scouters they would keep looking for it until they found it.

�We�re going to have to take them out Gohan�� Trunks closed his eyes to concentrate for any other power signatures. �They�re alone� but we still can�t afford to be seen� This is going to be tricky, Gohan I want you to stay hidden OK?�

�Trunks, what are you going to do?� Gohan looked concerned.

Trunks started pulling his clothes off revealing he was wearing his assault suit underneath, �The power these suits generate can�t be detected by scouters, and they should stay invisible to scouters in general. These guys aren�t that strong but we can�t risk anyone else becoming the wiser and having them launch a bigger investigation of the area.�

Trunks pulled the boots and gloves out of the backpack he�d had with him and expanded the helmet to put it on. �Here I go,� Trunks slipped out of the cavern and started sneaking around below the alien warriors.

Gohan watched anxiously as Trunks set to work. The aliens were floating back to back near each other when Trunks flew out from the canopy and silently elbowed one in the back before continuing his silent upward movement.

�OOW! Hey! Why�d you do that for?!�

�Do what? I didn�t do shit dumbass!�

�Oh I�m a dumbass now am I?�

�Yeah, you are, now get off me and get back to work.�

The other alien turned back around when Trunks dropped in upside down and thumped him hard on the back of the head before moving out of site again. �That is it! I�ve had it with your superiority complex!� the alien Trunks hit turned around challengingly to face the other.

�What the fuck is your problem?!� the other alien asked as he faced him.

�You are!� the smaller alien pointed his blaster at his partner.

�Oh you are not pointing your blaster at me, who the fuck do you think I am?!� Faster than the other alien could see, the larger one pulled out his blaster and shot him. �Ha!� the alien smirked to himself as his partner fell from the sky. A blur appeared behind him and caught his falling body, �What the?� the alien watched in disbelief as he could only see the person who caught the falling body with his right eye. Trunks grabbed the smaller alien�s arm, manipulating the body like a puppet. Taking aim with the blaster he used it to shoot the larger alien. The shot pierced a hole through the creature�s chest and he fell as well. Trunks let the body of the other alien fall to the ground with it.

Trunks flew back over to Gohan and pulled off his helmet, �They should think they took each other out now.�

Gohan nodded, �Wow, good job Trunks! That was awesome!�

Trunks smiled and gave Gohan a quick hug and the two ran back through the cavern.

The two demi-Saiyans made it back in time for dinner, which they scarffed down at their typical Saiyan pace while Bulma just watched and shook her head. Bulma approved of their plan of bringing in extra resistance through the caverns underneath the complex. By the time dinner was through, Trunks was stretching and yawning. Gohan thought it was odd for him to be tired so early, but Bulma explained that using the assault suit leaves a person feeling pretty tired until they get used to it.

Gohan walked Trunks over to his room and closed the door behind them, �Aren�t you going to stay with me tonight Gohan?� Trunks kissed Gohan�s cheek.

�I will, but I�m not sleepy yet, so I�m going to do some more stuff before bed, k?� Trunks nodded and headed off to bed. Gohan smiled to himself and walked out of Trunks� room.

Gohan ended up back at the gravity training room. He walked right in and locked the door behind him. At the computer controls he entered a few commands to make the computer not display his gravity setting and turned the machine up to a hundred times normal gravity. He took a deep breath, �Only two months to go� I�ve gotta be able to do more than this�� The machine switched on and the room�s hue turned to red. He braced himself for the impact he knew was coming.

Gohan was almost pushed all the way to the floor. He caught himself on his hands, and slowly pushed himself back up to his feet. �Man� I didn�t think there�d be this much difference between seventy five and a hundred times gravity�� Sweat built up on Gohan�s brow, �I can barely stand��

Gohan assumed one of his endurance stances and tried to hold it. He barely made it to ten minutes when he felt his muscles giving out, so he shifted his weight to his other leg to work the opposite side. Again ten minutes went by before he had to change postures.

Two hours later found a puddle of sweat under Gohan�s body, and him trying to do pushups. �Four hundred ninety seven, four hundred ninety eight, four� hundred� ninety nine� fi..ve.. hun..n.nn..dred!� He pushed with all his remaining effort for his last one before collapsing with a splash onto his own sweat on the floor. Breathing hard Gohan tried to rest a little to get some energy back.

After a few more moments of resting, Gohan�s eyes opened wide and determined and he pushed himself onto his back. The next moment found Gohan starting sit-ups.

Another hour went by before the door to the gravity room finally opened and a weary Gohan stepped out. Gohan headed straight for the spa, and almost fell into it as soon as he got there. Gohan closed his eyes and tried to relax. He almost fell asleep too, but had too many things all toying on his mind. He had barely had a chance to let it set in yet� Frieza� the one who killed his father� the one responsible for turning his planet into such a slummy wasteland� would be here in two months. Gohan clenched his fist under the water. He had to do more to be ready� he just had to�

Two days later�

Haru was sitting on his cot flipping through a martial arts magazine, while Rowdy was trying to get his attention just to annoy him. Haru was getting fed up with Rowdy�s antics and was about to wop him over the head with the magazine. He had put the magazine down for only a moment when he saw Rowdy�s eyes widen and heard from behind him �So which articles in here are the good ones?�

Haru�s ears perked up and he slowly turned to see Gohan flipping through the pages of the magazine he had just put down. �Gohan!� They both said.

�Hey guys,� Gohan smiled to them.

Rowdy practically jumped Gohan, and gave him a big hug, Haru put his arm around Gohan�s shoulder a little more civilly, �So what ya doin here? Not that we�re not happy to see you, but wow, you look good.� Haru took immediate notice of Gohan�s larger muscles.

�Thanks,� Gohan looked around, �First off� are you guys still interested in enlisting?� Gohan raised his eyebrows insinuatingly at his two friends.

�What are you getting at?� Haru looked at Gohan questioningly.

�We need to talk in private�� The three of them went to a place where they could be alone to discuss things.

�OK, now what are you talking about Gohan, what could we do?� Gohan�s look turned very serious and he told them what was happening, �Two months� fuck� that makes me sick just thinking that� he� is actually coming here.� Rowdy nodded in agreement with Haru.

�That�s why we�re planning on making our move! We�ll get Freiza while he�s here and put a stop to everything!�

�But still� how can we really help you, we can understand strength in numbers and all that crap� but they�re just so much stronger than any of us are�� Haru played the scenes through his head and it didn�t look good.

�You guys are gonna flip, what if I were to tell you we have these suits that can make you just as fast and just as strong as they are?�

�Are you serious?� Rowdy asked, an excited grin grew fast on his lips.

�Yeah, the latest in Capsule Corp technology that only we have, I�ve seen it work; it�s awesome! All the fighters who use blaster guns can�t even touch you while you�re wearing this armor, it�s that cool!�

Haru smiled, �Well you know we�re in, but what did you have in mind?�

�We need more, but only the ones we know for absolute sure we can trust, I can think of about twenty or thirty other rogues we can bring in on this, but we�re going to need more, anyone else we�ve met and trust too.�

�You mean like Piguro and his Banderos?� Rowdy asked.

�Exactly! Piguro and Rom will want in on this! We need to work on getting everything straightened out so we can get to training with the stuff� We don�t have a lot of time��

�Right!� The three of them split up and started pulling their contacts while keeping things under hush. Street gangs started getting word that the Rogues were looking for those who hated Frieza, but this wasn�t an uncommon thing to travel around the underworld.

Within a few days they�d managed to gather quite a significant number of people all under one abandoned warehouse. Everyone was still wondering what was going on, a few even a little nervous that maybe this wasn�t for real, when Gohan stood up at the front of the room.

�Thank you everyone for coming, you have no idea how much it�s appreciated. I won�t waste anymore of your time though so we�ll get right to the point of why we�re here today. Frieza is coming to earth.� A few voices broke out all talking about Frieza suddenly, �How many of you hate Frieza down to the core?� The whole room let out a holler, �Also what if I told you that there are aliens out there who hate Frieza just as much as we do?� the crowd got silent for a moment before a few people started cheering which caused the room to cheer along with it. �We are being given an opportunity to rid the galaxy of Frieza, but that means we need warriors with the courage to fight against him! This is an immense and dangerous task which is why we have only you who we know we can trust present here today. Frieza has ruined all of our lives, and enjoyed it! He�s a bloodthirsty tyrant who needs to be put out of commission� Who wants to help us do it?� Gohan knew this was asking a lot, for everyone to cast aside their fear, and take up arms against those who had reined terror from above for the past decade.

�What can we do?� a voice from the crowd asked.

�We have a way, and if you agree to join us, then we�ll spend the next two months training you how, and then we�ll strike!� Gohan urged as confident as he could.

Someone started walking through the crowd, �A way�?� the crowd parted to allow the cloaked figure to pass, �I like the sound of that� We�ve waited for ten years for �a way� to make itself known, and now you�re saying you have it?� the figure pulled off the cloak revealing Piguro�s scarred face, and Rom coming up behind him.

�Yes,� Gohan said honestly.

�Then we�re in. If this means putting an end to Frieza�s control of earth then we�ll do whatever it takes,� Piguro pledged. The rest of the Banderos followed behind and bowed, pledging their commitment as well.

Gohan closed his eyes, �Once you�re in� there�s no going back��

Piguro smiled, �Of course there isn�t, we�re in for keeps.�

�Anyone else?� Haru asked.

The rest of the room lifted their arms and yelled in approval.

�Thanks everyone, then we move, we have a lot of work to do!� Gohan lead everyone outside where a few hovercrafts landed and loaded everyone up.

�That didn�t go too bad,� Gohan sighed in relief to Haru�s statement. He was right it could have gone a lot worse had they not taken him seriously. The hovercrafts lifted up and started flying toward the valley where the cavern entrance was.

Along the way the hovercraft was stopped. Gohan felt a few powers flying up to the crafts, �Everyone needs to stay down and keep quiet!� he called through the ship.

An imperial soldier pulled up to the pilot�s window, �And where is this convoy going?�

Very calmly the driver answered, �We�re taking supplies to Cold Capitol by way of route 715C, here�s our flight confirmation card.� The pilot handed it to the guard for inspection.

The guard did a quick scan over the card which was authentic, then scanned the ship which revealed nothing else but the pilot, �Very well, move along.� And the ships resumed their course.

Haru let out a breath, �That was close; I wonder why they didn�t get suspicious of so many people on board.�

�It�s because they couldn�t tell,� Gohan answered, �These ships are magnetically shielded against scouter scans, so even if they tried to get a reading from inside the ship it just would have told them zero.�

�Wow�� Haru admitted that was pretty nifty.

The ships reached the valley and started unloading everyone into the caverns. Everyone followed Gohan through the caves, �It�s this way, we�re almost to the base!� The large group marched up the stairs, and into the hallways. Impressed whistles and other sounds filled the halls as everyone present looked over the massive underground structure.

They were all lead to the training center which was more than large enough for everyone to convey in at the same time. Bulma and Trunks were already there awaiting everyone�s arrival, and were surprised to see even more people than Gohan had originally mentioned. Apparently a lot of people on the surface really did hate Frieza

Bulma quickly composed herself and cleared her throat. �Hello everyone, my name is Bulma Briefs, president of Capsule Corporation, and leader of the Anti-Frieza underground.� Everyone nodded in understanding that Capsule Corp was where they would get the technology they�d be using to fight Frieza.

Bulma explained their plans to the crowd, and had Yamcha demonstrate the Assault Suit, as well as a few others demonstrate many of the other weapons, mechs, and vehicles. It was an impressive arsenal that left the room with a sense of hope. �We have just two months to familiarize with everything before we make our move. We understand that many of you may have once belonged to rival street gangs above ground, but here you are now a team against a common foe. Allow me to be the first to welcome you all as the new Z-Fighters! Earth�s greatest hope!�
