Fanfic: Die Schiffsreise
Chapter: Imagination?
Hello!
So, first of all sorry, but the last part doesn't seem to have worked out quite as I imagined, a few chapters have probably been mixed together. And strangely enough, I can't correct it either, I've tried it before, but it doesn't work, the chapter doesn't change, the text remains so confused ...
Well, in any case, I hope that the readers have noticed what happened in the FF. And the rest of the time follows! I just hope everything goes smoothly with the upload this time!
Have fun!
-----
Vegeta's heart is beating like crazy. Inside it feels like someone has thrown several buckets full of ice in it. Cold sweat forms on his skin. Still absolutely stunned, he stares at the place where the figure appeared in the mirror and where only his own reflection can now be seen ...
Vegeta had never seen anything so horrible in his life ... "It" could only be seen for a split second, but that length of time was enough ... Absolutely ...This figure that had appeared in the mirror instead of his own reflection ... Vegeta doesn't even want to recall it, it was so horrible to look at, but something in his head practically forces him to ...
She was about his size, rather a bit taller. The clothes were reddish brown and tattered and looked very old and worn, as if after a violent fight.
But it was the face that scared Vegeta so ...
The face had been completely disfigured by a myriad of bulging blisters and purulent pimples, as if the figure had been rotten for a very long time. The eyes were wide, bloodshot and watery and looked like they were staring into the distance all the time, but they were looking straight into Vegeta's eyes. The cheeks, forehead and mouth were also disfigured almost beyond recognition by several cuts that still looked very fresh. The hair stuck out from the head in all directions, was matted, greasy and very dirty and had lost its color.The skin was a pale yellow - white, like a corpse. The bones of the skull could already be seen under her skin ...
Something indescribably repulsive, ugly, disgusting, gruesome ... No, no words can even begin to describe the figure that Vegeta saw in the mirrored wall ...
But the worst thing is that he can't get rid of the strange feeling that this figure was still alive, even though it was obviously dead ...
"No, that can't be ... You just imagined that ... You've been training a little too much lately, and your senses are just playing a very, very bad trick on you ... Calm down, that was not real ... Breathe in and out deeply, try to relax ... "he tries to convince himself ...
Vegeta carefully moves closer to the mirror, to the place where this figure had appeared. With trembling fingers he touches the glass very gently and carefully.He wants to convince himself that this apparition of just now was just an imagination of his mind, an illusion, a mirage, whatever ...
And tremendous relief flows through him when he feels unyielding glass under his fingers. He had already feared that he would reach straight through the mirror like through a curtain or through liquid, as if something were behind the wall ... "Other" ...
"What the hell am I doing?" he immediately asks himself about it, and Vegeta annoys himself about his nonsensical behavior.
Suddenly there is a noise from a little further back from the room.
Vegeta whirls around.
Several people, wrapped in towels, emerge from a corridor that leads next to and then behind the counter. You look sweaty and drained.
"What's going on here?" Vegeta yells to them, not sure if he's imagining it too.
One of the characters, a muscular man with broad shoulders and dark blond hair, walks towards Vegeta while the others walk past him, point to the crack in the mirror, talk in whispers and finally disappear into the changing rooms.The man, however, does not seem to have noticed the crack in the mirror wall. He stops in front of Vegeta.
"Hello! My name is Rob Plurrer! But everyone calls me Robbie! (He grins and holds out his hand to Vegeta) I'm the fitness trainer for this class, and we've just finished our sauna session! And you are ...?"
Vegeta stares at him in disbelief.
When Rob tries to withdraw his hand, having become a little uncertain because of Vegeta's silence, Vegeta takes his hand after all, and again an immense relief flows through him.
This person is not his imagination!
"Vegeta! My name is Vegeta!" he adds hastily.
A smile spreads on Rob's face, but when he wants to say something else, he notices the thin crack behind Vegeta, which runs almost over the entire mirror wall, and he walks past him, startled, kneels down and examines the place which the crack apparently originated from ..."What happened here? ?!?"
Vegeta stands next to Rob, kneels down too and explains to Rob what happened. Inwardly, he is looking forward to the stupid face that this person will make once Vegeta is finished with his explanation ...
"Well, it was like that, I ..."
He doesn't get any further, because suddenly Rob's right hand jumps to the side and grabs Vegeta by the neck.
"Hey, what should ..."
The hand squeezes harder, and Vegeta tugs at Rob's hand and tries to free himself. But somehow he doesn't make it ...
Something is preventing him from controlling and focusing his energy ... Vegeta doesn't know what or why, but he just can't ...
The initial annoyance and indignation at Rob's behavior towards him turns into a slight panic when Vegeta cannot break free.
Rob turns his face. Vegeta catches his breath in horror, his eyes widen in fear.The beginning panic is now spreading in Vegeta with all his might as he realizes "what" the face of Rob is ...
The same horror face as in the mirror stares at him!
Vegeta looks in disbelief into these dead and yet so vivid eyes of this grimace. The mouth curls in a disgusting grin, then it opens ...
"Vegeta ..." comes from the mouth, slowly and clearly. The voice sounds pleased and confident of victory. "So we'll meet again ..." The hand on Vegeta's neck grabs even tighter. Vegeta jerks and tugs desperately by the hand, but the grip does not loosen in any way ...
Suddenly a fleeting thought penetrates Vegeta's brain ... "I know that voice ..."
And suddenly, despite the emerging panic inside, he realizes where from!
"A ... Akran ..." whispers Vegeta ...
"You have to be faster, Videl!"
Once again, Gohan practically knocked the shuttlecock "around the ears" of his wife.The clubs of both of them now look pretty battered, the wires stick out in some places, the badminton net that has been set up has a few holes and the ball needs to be replaced urgently.
"YOU JOB! A normal person can not catch balls as fast as you hit them! Do me a favor, Son - Gohan, and hold back a little!"
"Well, I'll try ..." says Gohan, a little meekly, but grinning. And he thinks: "The opportunities were TOO tempting ... And the faces of the people are also worth seeing ..."
While Gohan and Videl continue to play badminton, Trunks and Goten try their hand at a goal wall with two holes.
"Watch out, Trunks, this is going to be a great shot!"
Son-Goten takes a run-up, takes measurements, pulls his foot back - and then gently "nudges" the ball (by Saiyajinian standards).This rushes towards the goal wall and hits with a loud clap against the wall next to the hole in which Son - Goten actually wanted to hit.
“Weak, Son - Goten, that was nothing!” Trunks watched the ball with amusement as it got stuck in the safety net that is stretched around the goal. "So, now I'll show you how it works!"
Trunks grabs the ball, sets it up - but when he hits the ball, it slips and the ball sails over the net and falls right onto Chichi, who is sitting on a lounge chair and sipping cocktail. In shock, she spills the sweet drink on her orange swimsuit, which immediately turns dark.
"TRUNKS !!! SON - GOTEN !!! NA WAITING !!! But now you can experience something!"
In a rage, she gets up and walks with big and quick steps towards the two would-be footballers who have hidden in the farthest corner of the goal net.Bulma, who is sitting next to her and has just talked to an extremely good-looking sailor, looks after her in amusement.
The two "culprits" look to Kame for help, but she's sitting in the whirlpool, dressed in a black bikini, together with the big Trunks in blue swimming shorts, and is having a good time. And Son - Goku would not be of much help either - he is currently making himself over the afternoon coffee cake platter, an astonished Oob and a calorie counting 24 next to him ...
"Are you completely crazy, or what?!? You are probably no longer ticking properly in your head?!? * Moaning, moaning, moaning *
But while Chichi pisses them off, Son - Goku notices something strange ...
He looks up from his cake plate and looks hard and concentrated at the sky, as if he were fixating on an aura ...
But not only he noticed something, Kame, Oob and Son - Gohan also feel it ..."It's Vegeta. His aura is getting weaker ..." comments 24, who perceived the aura just like everyone else, although this statement would actually have been superfluous.
“Can you feel that too?” Kame has stepped out of the pool and approaches Goku with worry lines on her forehead. Trunks follows her and dries his body a little with a large towel. Gohan approaches from the other side, Videl follows him carefully and with a questioning look on her face.
"Yes, Kame. But we don't know what's going on with Vegeta ..." answers Goku.
"24, where is Vegeta right now?" asks Gohan the cyborg.
24 compares the location of Vegeta's aura with the blueprint of the ship saved in its main memory.
Meanwhile, Krillin and Yamcha, who were playing shuffle board together, come running over. They too look concerned - no doubt they too have noticed Vegeta's condition. "Friends, did you feel that too?"Trunks nods to them.
"Vegeta is currently on the E - Deck in Section 19. This is the gym."
