jumped, kicked and punched an imaginary opponent, landed heavily, jumped again, tried a few really nasty blows, landed, jumped ...


She repeated the process until she could no longer and fell to the floor, exhausted.


She wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath and yawned profusely. Today, Turnus had taken her out of the hammock at a later time to inform her that he had been informed that he should exercise the entire command at Freezer as soon as Tarkran had left the medi-tank again. After that Maiju could not fall asleep and so she had withdrawn into the gravity room in order to be able to train undisturbed. She wanted to be prepared in the event that Freezer should actually send her back again. And if not, it doesn't matter.


The main thing is to get stronger so that I can really show it to Vegeta soon.


That thought made her jump up again and move on.To want to become stronger than Vegeta was her biggest incentive.


To achieve this goal, she would also train at a hundredfold gravity - if she was still alive.


She pushed the thought aside vigorously. It would be a long time before it could withstand a hundredfold gravity. But she would do it. Certainly.


If not, she didn't want to be a fighter anymore.


Suddenly the door opened and Maiju heard Tiang call: "Hey, Maiju, there you are! We have been looking for you for a good half an hour!"


"Who we?"


"The whole command. Tarkran is fit again, we should audition at Freezer!"


"Aha. Well, I'm coming!" Maiju switched off the artificial gravity.


"How much did you have?" asked Tarkran.


"Eleven."


"Well ..."


She showed him her tongue.


"So, come on now, the captain is already quite fidgety!" He grabbed her wrist and literally dragged her into the hospital wing, while he scouted the rest of the command and informed them that he had found her.

In fact, everyone was already there and waiting for them when they got into the station. Turnus literally shot at Maiju: "Where have you been ?! We were all looking for you! Didn't I tell you to always have your scouter with you so that we can reach you at any time?"


He said that so quickly that Maiju could hardly keep up, so it took a little while before she could answer: "I was in the gravity room, I didn't take the scouter with me because I didn't know whether it would be able to withstand the increased gravity!"


"Of course he would! Now we should go slowly, when we are finally complete!" With these words, Turnus fled the station and hurried through the corridors towards the audience room. His command followed him.


Freezer just seemed to have been waiting for her. After the usual greeting, Turnus began to report: the planet, the difficulties in finding the Chiritaki caves, the cities, Maiju's cry for help, the bird that Loé and Maiju had sent back and then the rest of the mission - the fights against the birds , the retreat.He also mentioned who had stood out in particular, which team had been most successful: Fir and Maiju.


Freezer listened attentively and never interrupted. Then he said, "I see you have tried to carry out the mission to the best of your ability. But since you failed on one point, I will send you back to the planet again.


They have two weeks to train, after which they fly back. And don't disappoint me! You can go! "


The command bowed and left the room when Freezer Turnus whistled back: "Don't you, Captain! I want to speak to you alone!"


“Very well, master!” Turnus made a sign to his troops to leave and they slipped away. He himself stopped.


"What would you like to talk to me about, master?"


Freezer assessed him briefly before answering: "About the girl."


"Maiju?"


"Exactly."


"What do you want to know?"

"I would be interested in what you think of the little one, captain. How do you rate her?"


Turnus licked his lips and hesitated for a moment. "Hmm ... well, I would say she has a bright head ... she learns quickly ... can improvise and know how to help herself in difficult situations. A good fighter, she just has to get faster ... her The weak point, however, is that it is not very agile, although it is fast. It is also cheeky, chaotic and does not like to be subordinate. We keep crashing. "


Freezer thought for a while. "That was by and large my impression, I just wanted to hear a comment from someone who knows her better. Well, most of it is very good, and that she's messy, you can ignore that, she's a kid. Only that with the maneuverability is less favorable ... and the fact that she does not want to subordinate itself could become a problem ... somehow a remedy has to be found ... "He sank into brooding.

Turnus stood next to it as ordered and not picked up and felt slightly superfluous. Finally he asked, "Sorry Master- do you still need me or can I go?"


Freezer suddenly emerged from his thoughts: "Hmm, what? Oh! No, I don't need you anymore, captain, you can go!"


Turnus bowed and left the audience room. Somehow he was relieved.


Tiang was waiting for him in front of the stairs.


"What was it about?" asked he.


"Is none of your business!"


"But I still care!"


Turnus walked past him and started down the stairs. "I've already told you umpteen times to get rid of your curiosity!"


"I'm sorry, Captain, but I can't! Are you sure you don't want to tell me what it was about?"


Tiang followed closely after his superior, hoping to get some information. He was curious as a cub and could be incredibly stubborn.Turnus knew that, so with a sigh he decided to tell him everything, because that was the only way to get rid of him without killing him right away.


"Well, well, I can tell you! It was about Maiju. He wanted to know how I rate her."


“Why?” Tiang was now floating backwards in front of Turnus down the stairs.


"Because he has to know how she's doing. You know, because of the experiment, he wants her to be an irresistible fighter one day!"


"In what sense irresistible?" Tiang asked with a small grin. Turnus gave his subordinate a reproachful look, which the latter conscientiously overlooked.


"I suppose both and!" he said as Tiang continued to grin suggestively.


"Well, then everything is clear!" came the insolent answer, "I hope she stays in our command!"


The blow came so quickly that it was impossible for Tiang to disguise. Badly hit, he slammed onto the steps and rolled down a few yards before stopping.

"Tell me, what are you thinking of ?!" roared Turnus angrily, "Please leave your dirty pencils off the girl!"


And in a much quieter tone he growled: "Just in case you don't know: If the little one gets pregnant before Freezer has written her off as a fighter, then the person in charge can dress warmly! And even if she subsides, someone like you can go on for a long time don't dream of getting her off! So forget about it and leave her alone! Sure? "


Intimidated and with a sore chin, Tiang nodded: "Yes, Captain!"


“I hope so!” Turnus rushed past him.


He had known for a long time that Freezer would not be satisfied with being able to use Maiju as a secret weapon for a while, but, when it was past its prime, would use it to breed new, strong fighters - he also let the descendants of those fighters train who had immortalized themselves on the surrounding amusement planet of the soldiers with a prostitute.With Maiju, however, Zarbon could only have hopes, unless the balance of power changed dramatically.


For some reason, the thought made him even angrier.




In the meantime, Maiju was already training again in the gravity room, at twelve times the force of gravity, and had no inkling of the plans Freezer had for her.


Her whole interest was in the goal of getting stronger and getting the continued mission through with decency and without serious injury.




I find the chapter boring, don't you? Hopefully the next one will be more exciting.


oh yes, by the way: do you mind if the Maiju command only appears at the end of K.9? I couldn't think of a better chapter name!
