Hello everybody!
Well, I am already back from vacation, but I haven't uploaded any other part yet ...
And that's because besides Kira_w no other reader took pity on writing me a comment. It's no fun writing a story that doesn't even get a review ...
I'll upload another part, but if this part remains without comment, I'll probably put this story on hold ... Which would be a shame, after all, it's already more than 100 pages ...
Don't get me wrong, I'm neither conceited nor very proud, nor do I want an "extra sausage" or whatever, I'm just a little disappointed, that's all ...

@ Kira_w: Thanks for your comment, what would I do without you ^^
But you're probably right, I can't find any luck on this site ... I'll try one more time, but if that doesn't work either ... Well, now everyone knows ...One more request: Could you possibly add a page or two to your next mail that you think is good? That would be great! Then I know where to go next when there really are no more comments ...
Incidentally, I would like to thank you again very much for your comments, which you don't actually have to submit because you have already done this * ggg *

So, enough foreword, film off for the next (and hopefully not the last) part!

"She is still alive."

24 says these words, and all eyes turn to him and stick to him.
"Wh ... what ... did you ... say ...?" Vegeta stammered in a tear-choked voice.
"I said she was still alive. My scanners register weak brain activity and a slow heartbeat. But her condition is very bad. If we don't do anything, ..."
Vegeta jumps to his feet, grabs the shoulders, and interrupts the cyborg's flow of speech. "Is that true ?!?Are you absolutely sure that she is alive?!? "He calls out in a hopeful voice.
But his gaze changes, and threateningly he hisses at 24: "I swear to you, I'll kill you if you should lie, I ..." He presses 24 against the bathroom wall, raises his fist threateningly to blow ..
"Vegeta!" calls Son - Goku in between.
However, the latter does not pay any attention to Goku, but looks straight in the eyes ...
"I'm not lying. Bulma is alive." repeats his statement and does not even raise his hand in a possible parade.
Vegeta breathes quickly and heavily, quickly looks around at the other two fighters, finally lowers his fist, lets go of it and looks at Bulma.
"She's still alive, she's still alive, she's still alive ..." 24's words echo in his head. His thoughts race feverishly through his brain.
"24 is a robot, a cyborg, a machine, he cannot lie ... And that means ... THAT MEANS ..."Once again, an indescribable relief flows through him, as before in the fitness room. But that was nothing compared to now ... Like warm rain, no, even more, like a tidal wave, the realization flows through Vegeta that he didn't kill his wife after all ...
He sinks again on his knees next to Bulma, puts his face in his hands and begins to cry again ... But this time there are tears of joy ... The relief, the joy of Bulma's life has simply overwhelmed him ...

Son - Goku and Kame look at each other very surprised ... That Vegeta would show such emotion that the two of them would not have even expected in a dream ...
After a few seconds, Son - Goku approaches Vegeta. "I'll go get some Magic Beans. Don't worry, Vegeta, Bulma will be back on her feet in no time!" says Son - Goku gently.
Vegeta looks up at Son - Goku, a tear is running down his right cheek. He hastily tries to wipe them away, nodding."Thank you ..." he says in a wet voice and softly pulls his nose up a little.
Son - Goku looks at him in surprise, but then leads his fingers to his temple with a sympathetic smile, concentrating on Master Quitte's aura ...
"And when I get back, we'll clarify what drove him to ..." Son - Goku thinks grimly before he disappears ...
Kame puts her hand on Vegeta's shoulder - this time he doesn't hit it away - and says in a gentle tone: "Everything will be fine, Vegeta ..."
24 examines Bulma with a scrutinizing look. "Son - Goku should hurry up. It's not going well for Bulma. Her pulse is very weak, and her ..." He breaks off when he notices the bitter glare from Vegeta and Kame, but they don't say anything, just look again worried about Bulma.

"Nanu?!?"
Son - Goku looks around, confused. "Where did I end up HERE?!?"
It stands in the middle of a large, very luxuriously furnished and brightly lit room. Oil paintings by various famous artists hang on the cream-colored walls, the floor is polished to a sparkling cleanliness and lined with fine, sinfully expensive, dark wood.On the ceiling, which is 3 meters high, there are many glittering lamps that sparkle like diamonds from the ceiling. On the sides of the room are fine pieces of furniture, made by well-known designers and covered with velvet ceilings. On the walls, doors made of the finest precious woods lead to further rooms.
Somehow this room looks familiar to him ...
"Hey, I know this one! This is my cabin, Chichi and Son - Goten on the cruise ship!" it suddenly shoots through his head. "But ... What am I doing here?!? I wanted to see Master Quince!" He looks around, completely amazed.
"What's going on here...?" he mumbles softly.
"Hello honey! Are you back already?"
Son - Goku whirls around, startled. Chichi appeared out of nowhere and smiled at him. A door slowly slams behind her.
"Uh ... Hello darling ..." stammered Son - Goku confused, and at the same time he thought: "Strange ... Chichi was still up on the sun deck ... How did she get down here so quickly into the cabin ?!?Oh yes, probably through the elevator, which eventually runs through every deck. Also, there will be dinner soon, so she has to freshen up a bit, and as I know Chichi, it takes forever ... "He grins inwardly at this thought - Chichi in her evening dress, fully equipped with make - up stumbling around in high heeled shoes ...
"How is Bulma? Is she okay?" asks Chichi and gets Son - Goku out of his thoughts.
Son - Goku shakes his head. "Nah, she's pretty bad. Vegeta almost killed her."
"WHAT ?!?" exclaims Chichi, startled. "Vegeta attacked his own wife?!?"
"Yeah, but we don't know why he's ... OH DAMN !!!" shouts Son - Goku loudly and hits his forehead with the flat of his hand. "I should get Master quince and the beans! How could I forget that!" Son - Goku hastily puts his fingers to his forehead.
"Do you want to ..." begins Chichi, but then suddenly she shrugs her upper body, her eyes turn slightly upwards, and slowly, as if in slow motion, she falls forward onto the parquet floor.She remains lying motionless ...

“Oh man, that might be annoying!” Son - Goten angrily comes out of the toilet and slams the door behind him. It's a good thing that his mother has disappeared into the opposite door, if she had heard what he just said, she would have made him a head shorter ...
He's absolutely tired of getting ready for dinner. But why did his mother insist so much?!? He was 20 years old, after all, but his mother still had to treat him like a baby! "Put this on, behave like this, brush your teeth, don't eat too much, otherwise you'll notice ...", that's how his mother had taught him everything ... He wasn't even allowed to flirt with girls! "That just can't be true !!!
And I should wear THAT?!? "He murmurs pissed off and holds up a hideous old, dark red fly with his fingertips." Never in my life! The part belongs in the garbage bag and not on a neck!And certainly not mine! "He throws it contemptuously on his bed, which also has a crisp white shirt, a dark blue jacket and dark gray pinstripe trousers.
"OH DAMN !!!" comes from the next room, followed by incomprehensible whispers that Son - Goten can not hear exactly through the wooden door ...
“Hey, that's father's voice!” Son - Goten 's face immediately brightened up. "He's back from his' Bulma rescue mission"! Maybe he can help me convince mom not to have to wear this stupid piece! "
Son - Goten turns around, runs towards the closed door, opens it quickly - and as he runs out he crashes violently against Chichi, who falls forward to the ground due to the force of the impact. Startled, he stops.
"Oh oh ... this will cause trouble ..." he thinks ...

"Chichi? What's going on?" Son - Goku looks at his wife in amazement - and his insides freeze to ice ...
In Chichi's back, in the area around her heart, there is a golf ball - a large hole that looks burned black."Something" seems to have burned its way through her body to her heart ... ..
Son - Goku rushes towards Chichi and turns her onto her back. Their eyes are open in surprise, but they are cold, glassy and expressionless, devoid of any life. Her mouth is slightly open and a thin trickle of blood is running out of it and dripping onto the floor. The color slowly fades from Chichi's face ...

She is dead.

"Chichi, what have you?!? Darling, answer that! Chichi! CHICHI !!!" shouts Son - Goku in a voice that grows more and more desperate. He shakes her shoulders, but she doesn't respond ...
Tears well up in Son - Goku 's eyes when he sees his Chichi, his wife, lying motionless on the floor. He can't understand it ... What just happened here?!?
"That was first class from me, wasn't it? Dead with just one shot!" Suddenly a cold, heartless voice sounds right in front of him.
"Wait a minute ... That voice ... I know!" Son - Goku suddenly shoots through his head ... He looks up to see who was speaking ...A figure with dark white - blue-violet skin color and a long tail stands in front of him and sneers at him and the dead Chichi. The figure has no hair on the whole body, not even on the skull, no ears on the head, instead peculiar square openings in these places, four fingers on each hand and on each foot ...
But the worst thing about this figure are the countless, apparently freshly torn and constantly bleeding wounds, which give this figure a grotesque - abnormal appearance. The left half of
