Chapter 35 - Spaceship

After both of them discussed their differences out they finally went back to normal any they could make their way to the ship.

Tights also contacted Jaco and told him that aliens have invaded earth and he should come and take a look. He seemed to be reluctant at first but got pulled in when Tights said that he owes her a favor.

Darc was the navigator because only he could feel the location of his orb and tell where the ship is.

It took a while flying with a plane to that location but they did arrive there at some point.

When they landed Haksae, Bulma and Tights immediately went ahead and looked at the ship. Everyone did so for his own reason. So Darc thought about it and excuse himself for a while. He teleported back to his hometown and assembled his friends.

Lite didn't tell them anything about what happened but Zarid and Otamo also felt the energies yesterday so they knew Darc had his reasons not to tell anything but at this point, he explained everything.

"Glew, you did want to meet Dr. Briefs, right? Now is your chance and you could also learn something from that spaceship as well."

Glew nodded. So he did remember to keep that in mind.

Lite, Otamo, Glew, Luffa, and Zarid all placed their hands on him and he started transmission to the orb near the spaceship.

After appearing out of thin air Bulma got surprised and looked at all the people.

"What was that?", she asked him.

"That's an ability I got. I can teleport from one point to another about instantly as long as I place one of those orbs there.", he said and pointed at his ki orb.

"Couldn't you have done the same with us?", she asked again and was annoyed he didn't show that sooner.

"I can't teleport too much stuff and you need your equipment, don't you?", he said and tried to avoid that question.

Bulma only narrowed her eyes but didn't go further into that discussion. She looked at the other.

"So, who are they?", she said while eyeing up his group.

"These are my friends and my teacher. This here is Otamo. The guy with the short blonde hair is Lite. The girl with the blonde hair is Luffa and the one with brown hair is Glew. That old man is my martial teacher Zarid...Everyone, the girl here is Bulma. The daughter of Dr. Briefs. Inside the ship are Tights, Dr.Briefs older daughter and Dr. Briefs himself. Say hi", he said and introduced everyone.

Lite and Otamo greeted her with a smile. Glew had stars in her eyes and started bombarding Bulma with questions. The only one who was reluctant to greet her was Luffa. Luffa felt that this was her enemy and she couldn't become too friendly with her.

Bulma on the other side was a little bit confused about Luffa´s behavior but didn't give it any thought for long. She led Glew to her father since Glew was pretty eager to meet him. Bulma noticed this girl had the same love for science like herself and that made her happy to meet someone her age that had the same goal to become a scientist.

Zarid and Otamo also went into the spaceship to investigate the inner parts of it. Inside it, they found battle armors and stuff and both were amazed by all that futuristic looking stuff.

Only Lite stayed together with Darc.

"So, how is it? Can he replicate it?", he asked Darc.

"I don't know yet. let's go meet Dr. Briefs and ask him", answered Darc.

They both went to where Hakase was and saw how he already took apart some of the techs. Beside him were Bulma and Glew also taking stuff apart and gleaming with stars in their eyes.

"Hakase, how is it? Can you already tell if it is possible to craft another spaceship with this?", he asked him.

Dr.Briefs turned around and smiled "Enough? This is more than I expected. This thing is huge and at first, I thought you would give me some small pod or something or that little cruiser Jaco has. With this, it's easy to create a spaceship. Just tell me what you need in it and I will be able to make it. But it will take some time of course."

Darc smiled. That was good for him. Then he actually didn't need to even bother and find that Namekian ship the nameless Namekian Kami used to get to earth.

Darc told Dr. Briefs about the specifics that he needed. The Spaceship had to be big enough to accommodate more people and a big training area with one or more gravity chambers that could artificially increase the gravity. Also things like storage and such should also be there. After all traveling through space did still take time but it would probably be shortened because the speed of this vessel is probably by far faster than the attack ball and Namekian spaceship.

Dr. Briefs nodded and noted down all the things he wanted in it. He told him it would take some time to craft it. He would immediately inform him if it is finished. Until then he should plan what he is going to do with it.

Darc only nodded and also made himself useful and got himself familiar with all the tech here. Since before he killed all surviving aliens here he did extract the universal language they used for their computers.

He gave Dr. Briefs and Bulma some help in translating the language and the process of analyzing was shortened by that. Bulma and Tights were especially surprised by that. He just said he just learned it while analyzing it himself and they didn't bother going in further to that answer and relished that help. Glew and the others were already used to Darc being somehow knowledgeable beyond his years so they weren't so surprised.

Tights after that even wanted him to give her the whole alphabet and such as a pocketbook so she could use that in her novels. He, of course, complied to that and would give it to her at some point later.

She smiled brightly and even gave him a kiss on his cheek for that as thanks. Darc was completely surprised by that and when Bulma and Luffa saw that they glared at him immediately.

He noticed that intent and scratched his cheek. ´Hey, why am I the one being glared at here?´, he thought.

"What the hell are you doing, sis?", said Bulma to Tights.

"Don't be like that. It was only a kiss on his cheek.", said Tights and smirked at her sister.

Bulma pouted and glared at Darc again.

He himself better distanced himself for a while.

"Seems like he got pretty popular, Luffa. You should become more active if you want to get him for yourself.", whispered Glew to Luffa after seeing that.

Luffa nodded and a glimmer flashed through her eyes. Glew twitched at seeing that. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea?

A little bit further away from those two Lite put a hand on Darc his shoulder "Dude, don't try to be greedy. That won't turn out good.", he said.

Otamo nodded and also stood right beside him.

"You guys too? I am not even trying anything and am getting the brunt of all attacks.", rebuked Darc to his friends.

"You are just way too nice for your own good.", laughed Otamo out. "By the way. That Tights girl is really pretty. And come to think of it. Isn't she that famous novelist?", he added his question afterward.

Darc and Lite looked at him.

"Since when are you into older woman?", asked Darc at that moment.

Otamo only blushed and didn't say anything.

Darc smirked on that reaction. "I see. Why don't you help her out? I am pretty sure she will appreciate the help. You are trying to become an archeologist so you got some synergy.", he said teasingly. Seems like his friend got a little crush on Tights.

Lite also laughed out and elbowed Otamo. He only reacted with leaving the two alone and he actually went ahead and tried to approach Tights.

Both Darc and Lite were surprised. They were only joking at that moment. They looked at each other and sighed.

Darc narrowed his eyes "How come you are actually aware of such things now, Lite? I still remember you being pretty dense about stuff like this.", asked Darc.

Lite his mouth twitched at those words. "Hey, you know I came together with Glew half a year ago. And I can't just remain dense forever on that matter, right?"

Darc laughed. "I am pretty sure no one expected you to actually change and ask her out." He grinned afterward.

"Damn now I know how Otamo felt", said Lite blushing and distanced himself from Darc as well.

Darc only shrugged his shoulders and went ahead until they all left the spaceship and let the Briefs do their thing.
