Later that morning the sun was shining brightly. A flock of birds flew out of tree in unison scared by a cat steadily climbing up a tree. There were a few clouds in the sky but not many. Ryu got up and changed clothes. After his little adventure last night, he had gotten home at five in the morning. It was now eight in the morning. Ryu wore a blue t-shirt, and light brown khakis.
"Uh... Morning. Listen, I..."
"Yes, mister mouth?" Videl asked.
Videl and Gohan were already eating breakfast. They had a plate out for Ryu, but there was no food on it.
"I... I, y'know, I feel really bad about what I said..."
"Well, I should say so," Videl said, cutting Ryu off.
"Videl," Gohan said, trying to calm Videl down.
"And I know that I was wrong to... uh... say it. And I don't think you're losers, and I'm really, really sorry and I know better and..."
"It's okay. Ryu. Come here," Gohan said opening his arms in his chair.
Ryu walked over and gave him a hug. They both smiled. Videl smiled too, but recieved no hug.
"Gohan, you're not wearing your glasses. Oh hey, yah. Uh... I... I guess I left them upstairs," Ryu replied putting food on his plate.
That night, Ategev and Ryu visited Capsule Corporation. Ategev had called to ask if Ryu wanted to revisit the lab like his father proposed. And of course, he agreed.
"I'm serious, Ategev. I totally want to work in a place just like this," Ryu exclaimed.
"You would," Ategev said half-jokingly.
"I would!" Ryu said.
"I know," Ategev replied.
"So, whar are we doing here?" Ryu asked.
"Like I said, my dad felt bad about the whole cicada thing and he knows you really get off on this stuff so he said: come on down..." Ategev explained.
"That's pretty solid of him," Ryu commented.
"It's amazingly solid of him. I mean, for him. Yo, Ginyu!" Ryu called out.
There was an average sized man with a bowlcut wearing sunglasses, (don't ask me why he's wearing sunglasses...) and a short blonde woman with goggles of some sort on. She was jotting notes down on a clipboard while the man with the bowl cut, was doing something to some poor animal in a cage. They were both wearing lab coats. The man stopped immeadietly, when he heard his name and strode over to Ategev, and Ryu.
"This here is Doctor Otto Ginyu," Ategev said, introducing the man to Ryu.
"Ginyu?" Ryu asked.
"DOCTOR Ginyu to you, young man," Ginyu replied.
"He's a big brain around here. Very big brain. Scary big," Ategev said, walking over to the blonde woman.
"I hear you're quite the talent in the science arts," Doctor Ginyu said trying to make conversation.
"Oh, well, that's..."
Ryu stopped when he saw a very high tech flat screen computer. To Ryu, that computer was like Nirvana.
"Hey, I wouldn't mind having one of those 9-640's," Ryu muttered.
"Oh, you don't want that. It's an old one," Doctor Ginyu said modestly.
"Can I have it when you throw it out?" Ryu asked.
Meanwhile, Ategev was over talking to the blonde lady. She had pulled her goggles off and was engaged in a conversation with Ategev.
"Hey, Darlene, where you been?" Ategev asked cheerfully.
"Waiting for you to hit puberty, juinor," Darlene shot back playfully.
"What? How could you say that? I did that earlier in the week," Ryu laughed.
"Ryu, I heard about the unfortunate incident with the insect experiment... ...I hope that you haven't had any odd side effects. Dizziness? Drowsiness?" Doctor Ginyu asked.
"Well, there has been a little, what are the animal for anyway?" Ryu asked staring at a white rabbit in a glass container.
"We check for blood work reactions," Doctor GInyu answered.
"Reactions?" Ryu asked curiously.
"Just simple blood work. Have youe ver had your blood taken, Ryu?" Doctor Ginyu asked.
"Oh yeah. You know physicals," Ryu answered.
"Well, why don't we take some of yours and I can show you what we do here," Doctor Ginyu suggested grabbing for something on the inside of his lab coat.
"No, that's okay. I'd like to keep mine all in its original container," Ryu said.
Doctor Ginyu pulled out a long needle. Ryu suddenly had that feeling he felt when that van was about to hit him. It was almost as if he was sensing danger. He felt himself getting more powerful by the second...
"Hey, what are you doing? Hey!" Ryu exclaimed.
Doctor Ginyu pulled up Ryu's left sleeve and stuck a needle in him. He drew the blood as quickly as possible. Then he pulled it away, and lifted it out of Ryu's reach. Ryu didn't reach for the needle though. He went to cover the spot where the needle pricked him.
"What the heck is wrong with you?!" Ryu exclaimed.
"Just taking a sample," Doctor Ginyu replied simply, as if nothing had happened.
"What happened?!" Ategev asked swinging around.
"What was this? Like an ambush or..."
"What happened?" Ategev asked in a more calm voice, cutting Ryu off.
Ryu darted for the emergency exit.
"Ryu?! What's going on?!" Ategev shouted running after him.
Doctor Ginyu smiled as he watched Ryu shove open the door. Darlene just watched the whole thing dazed and confused, not having a clue as to what was going on. When Ategev reached the door, it was already shut. He slammed it open and looked around. Ryu was nowhere in sight.
"Ryu?" Ategev shouted.
"What I am saying is that the deterioration effects we witnessed in the first Son sample have, in layman's terms, reversed themselves," Doctor Ginyu explained.
Doctor Ginyu, Vegeta Jr., and his assistant were in Vegeta Jr.'s main office. Doctor Ginyu, and Vegeta Jr.'s assistant stood in front of a large screen that showed what Ryu's blood cells looked like. Vegeta Jr. was sitting at his desk. He elbows propped up his hands, which propped up his chin.
"Meaning?" Vegeta Jr. asked.
"Meaning the boy is a healthy specimen. If not healthier. His metabolism is somewhat akin to... Lets say... More than that of a long distance runner or more than an olympic level athlete," Doctor Ginyu answered.
"But what will happen as his condition progresses?" Vegeta Jr.'s assistant asked.
"Oh... And his condition has stabilized. His blood count is normal," Doctor Ginyu added.
"Stabilized," Vegeta Jr. said as if he was not satisfied.
"I would really like to spend some more time with the subject, Mr. Briefs. I have a series of tests that..."
"Thank you, doctor. Have a good night," Vegeta Jr. said cutting Doctor Ginyu off.
Doctor Ginyu shot a dark look at Vegeta Jr. and then left.
"Should I call Shaw back in to finish the job?" Vegeta Jr.'s assistant asked.
"No," Vegeta answered slowly.
"No?" Vegeta Jr.'s assistant asked, surprised.
"No. His parents... The school. Too many people to put two and two together. An autopsy to deal with. There's a trail. It's not a smart move now," Vegeta Jr explained.
"You want to bring him in for more tests?" Vegeta Jr.'s assistant asked.
"That is admission that there's something to test. No, we need to repeat the accident," Vegeta Jr. said, almost thinking to himself.
"Repeat the... On a human?" Vegeta Jr.'s assistant asked.
"Match the situation. Specimen. Control the enviroment," Vegeta Jr. explained.
Vegeta Jr.'s assistant gave him a dark look, as if to say: No, you couldn't.
"Pull up my file, please," Vegeta Jr. said over an intercom.
Vegeta Jr.'s assistant's eyes widened immeadietly.
"Right there, yes. Right there we can see where the insect experiment 'OO' bit that Son boy."
A picture of Ryu being bitten by the cicada flashed onto the screen.
"Initally, the biological effects to the Son boy were negative. Very negative. And his chance for survival was very slim. Fatal."
Another image flashed onto the screen. It was the image of the cicada landing on Brieanna's chest.
"But now we beleive that it was the mixture of cicada venom with the OZ that made his powers awaken. We have found a gene in his DNA where he has super strength and the ability to fly. He may have other powers too, but we have been able to undetermine what that is yet."
An image flashed across the screen of Charles smashing the cicada with the sole of his shoe. Another image flashed of Ryu lying on the ground, with Brieanna, and a teacher trying to wake him up. It zoomed in on his face.
"It was an accident, yes, but we have our first human test subject... ...and what he has shown us is that our time is now."
The first image of the cicada biting Ryu's hand flashed across the screen again.
"Turn it off, please."
The image froze on screen.
"We may very well hold the key that unlocks the next step of human evolution. And by we, of course, I mean me. I would like to recreate the Son OZ accident under more scientific enviroments. Please, consider this. If a mere traumatization awakened Ryu's powers imagine what could happen if you brought out ALL of the power in one person? Like me?" Vegeta Jr. asked.
There were six people in the room. There was a middle aged lady wearing a buisness suit, with long light brown hair. There was a man about the same descripiton only had short, medium brown hair. A proffesor with a red bow tie, a lab coat, and glasses. His red hair was combed back smoothly. Vegeta Jr.'s assistant was off in the corner staring at Vegeta Jr. sadly. Doctor Ginyu was sitting next to the proffesor with the bow tie.
"You, sir? You want to inject yourself with the OZ compound?" the proffesor asked unbeleivingly.
"Glad we understand each other. Let's crunch some numbers and get this next phase rolling along," Vegeta Jr. smiled.
The Proffesor was silent.
