15 Business (2/2)

After a Saiyan sized dinner Bulma gave Chichi a prototype Capsule Corp. high speed communications computer pad. The computer pads were a joint creation between the Gren'dir scientists and Big Gete. They would be releasing them publicly in a few weeks, but the other planets under Raditz already used the devices. Kakarot's wife was thrilled by the expensive looking gift.

”By the way, Raditz, did Kakarot ask you about that job?” Chichi questioned with a smile.

Raditz looked over at Kakarot confused.

What job was she talking about?

Kakarot had a fearful look. He felt his back start to become soaked in a cold sweat.

”What are you talking about?” Raditz asked, ”What job?”

”You didn't ask!” she yelled at Kakarot. ”Why didn't you even ask!?”

”I was going to, but we were invaded. Then I died. Then we had to fight the Saiyans.” Kakarot quickly explained. He then looked to his brother, ”Do you have a fun job available that pays a lot!?” his eyes darted back to Chichi quickly gauging her mood.

”Sure I can give you a job.” Raditz smiled, ”How does security agent sound?”

”Will I get to fight strong opponents?” Kakarot asked.

”Some will be... others not so much.” Raditz answered honestly.

”That's what I do!” Reiss shouted, ”Maybe we can work together uncle Kakarot.”

”Your son already has a job!?” Chichi was amazed by this news and looked over at her own son.

”Of course, my Reiss is an imperial prince after all!” Bulma laughed with the back of her hand covering her mouth. It was a laugh brimming with pride.

The next morning, the group left Mt. Pozu and headed to Capsule Corp. grounds in West City. There they would meet the shuttle, which would then take them to dock with the orbiting mother ship. The group of new space travelers were amazing by the shuttle until they witnessed the massive saucer suspended above their planet.

”That is the Menagerie, the flagship of the Prometheus Empire, my ship.” Raditz said as the ship came into view. The passengers, except for Piccolo, were clearly excited about seeing the ship up close.

”Uncle Raditz, why is it called that?” Gohan asked.

”Because the crew is made up ofpeople from each of the worlds in my empire. Earth being the exception for now.” Raditz explained to his nephew. Raditz pressed a button on the wall panel of the shuttle.

”Pilot, do a flyby of the Menagerie before taking us in to dock.” Raditz commanded.

”Yes, your Majesty!” came the reply.

The ship was modeled after his original craft that was destroyed. The main difference was its size and the fact that it was rebuilt using Big Gete technology. This made the new ship several times more advanced than most ships in the North Galactic Area. The size difference allowed for a larger crew complement, even though, the ship didn't need a crew because of the Big Gete systems installed in the computers. However, those A.I. functions were locked until emergency situations or a command code from Raditz was given.

When the ship docked, warriors in black and red armor stood at each side of the corridor. They saluted with a fist pressed against their chest when their Emperor walked past.

The bridge of the Menagerie had many people busy on consoles and terminals. All of the commotion ended when the doors of the bridge slid open revealing Raditz. Everyone stopped what they were working on and stood at attention when they learned the Emperor was on deck.

”As you were.” Raditz commanded. The crew relaxed again from the command and continued to work.Bulma went to the navigation section of the bridge where a Gren'dir woman wearing a Scouter visor was stationed.

”Has the data from the Namekian ship been fully integrated?” Bulma asked the woman.

”Yes, my Empress! We can depart for Namek at any point.” she answered enthusiastically.

After hearing the confirmation Bulma nodded to Raditz, who had taken his seat on the bridge. Raditz rose from his seat with his hands behind his back and walked towards the middle of the bridge. His crew had a look of confidence and purpose.

”Helm, set a course for Planet Namek!” Raditz ordered. ”Full speed.”

”Setting course for Namek, full speed, aye!” the visored woman answered, elegantly typing at her console. In no time at all, the ship had raced out of the solar system towards its new target destination.

Elsewhere in space, Vegeta and Nappa's ships headed towards the nearest Frieza Force outpost to recover from their battle on Earth. The outpost was located on Planet Frieza No. 79. It was the nearest outpost with proper medical facilities and Attack Ball landing pads. Once they were healed up they would have to make a trip to Namek to gain immortality. Then they could take vengeance on Raditz, and even Frieza.

Vegeta was curious to learn what his power level would become after getting healed, especially after he had already gotten a boost from that fruit Turles's men brought.

”Just wait Raditz, soon you will bow down before the Prince of all Saiyans!” Vegeta thought to himself before sleep overcame him.
