Dragon Ball: Saga Of The Strongest Human 38 Going Back For A Visi

He was in that state because he drenched too many clothes and it was much more comfortable to move around with less clothing.

He breathed heavily but his rhythm was still calm. White condensation could always be seen when did so and his lips were already chipped. His body was basically on fire at this moment but he endured it.

Then he used both hands again and slowly made a handstand. Holding that stance he arched his back to his back and stretched so much that he made a bridge with both his hands and feet touching the ground. Then he slowly stood up and started to stretch himself with many different poses. Some even looked ridiculous how one even could be able to do them.

After doing all that and stopping he stood back up and exhaled a lot of air and this time one could see black condensation inside the white cloud.

"Alright, Alice. I am done for today. Reduce the gravity.", said Darc to the ship AI.

+Understood, Darc.+ was heard from the AI and slowly the room temperature and dim light slowly became cooler and more bright. The heavy feeling vanishing as well.

´I am getting better and better. My muscles are firm and flexible just like they should be. Looks like teachers teachings still give me a lot to think about. I even created my own fighting style according to the board. But I wonder what is the difference. And I am still confused about that buff I got that I can't figure out how to use yet. h.e.l.l, it is in question marks. I think it was somewhere around the time I tried to copy the Kaioken from my memories? Well, I will figure that out later. Still failed at doing the technique though. It's much harder to copy. Probably because it is a power-up technique and not some ki technique like the Kamehameha. WIll probably have to wait until I meet north kai.´

Darc went over to the kitchen and get himself a 5-liter water bottle and started drinking that. He was completely dehydrated. After doing so he looked at his reserves and he cringed.

"Alice, were there any useful planets on our way that had water in them we could refine?"

+Positiv. One hour ago we pa.s.sed an ice dwarf. Scans have indicated that the planet consists of usable water when heated up. Should I take a reroute to planet W7298?+

He looked at the floating AI ball and arched a brow. "What's with that weird name? Did we already pa.s.s so many planets?"

+Yes, that correct. I made a picture and noted down their positions and named them with W for West and an according to a number starting from zero.+

"..." Darc stayed silent after that answer. "Alright, we need to make a stop there to resupply our water"

+Affirmative. Time of arrival 1hour 23minutes and 33 seconds.+

"Oh. and how long till the outpost we are headed to?", he asked while walking over to the Bathroom to take a shower.

+Estimated time of arrival 21 days 12hours 35minutes and 12 seconds.+

"Alright, also just giving me rough estimations like 3 weeks is enough."

+Understood.+

Later after taking the shower, he put on his battle armor. It would keep him warm while extracting ice from the planet and he also took his helmet. It was amazing how advanced every part of this looked compared to canon. The helmet alone was already on the level of the ones from Ma.s.s Effect if he had to compare them. It was pretty comfy and just felt like a bike helmet.

The rest of the suit looked a lot like the end state suit that Vegeta wore in the tournament of power. Even more advanced if he had to be true. It was a tight fit neoprene-like suit that was pretty comfy to wear and could even be worn in his free time if he had to use it at that time.

The real difference between the armors came to the actual carapace. Darc´s armor actually did look like an armor and not like a dress or anything. The white carapace parts that stretched over the neoprene-like suit beneath it not only covered his torso but also his shoulder, arms, hands and completely down to the feet. They were all removable and interchangeable.

It was his own idea since he thought that the little amount of armor was a pretty nonsensical design flaw. Just attacking the limbs would pretty incapacitate someone and afterward, they would just kill you.

(A/N: On request, more description was added here. And here is a picture of how I imagine it to be. With Armor parts fully equipped. http://666kb.com/i/dya6l69zhy3951yww.jpg )

It didn't take long after that and the ship vibrated a little and landed on a suitable place.

+We arrived. Please be careful. Planet gravity is 12 times of earth. Temperature -180 Celcius. Fast working is adviced.+

Darc nodded and entered the decontamination room that was just a little room between the outer and inner parts of the ship. Waiting for a little he finally could go outside.

He immediately felt the coldness of the air.

"Uff, this cold planet ain't no joke. Gotta hurry.", he said and started doing his work. He threw a capsule and a ma.s.sive machine was coming out of it. It was the machine to refine ice into drinkable water. He just needed to portion the ice into certain chunks throw them inside so the could be heated up and purified to refill the empty bottles he has.

He flew around and punched ma.s.sive chunks of ice from the planet and made them into little chunks that he refined. It took about a day worth of time for refilling all his empty bottles but he was happy that he finished it all.

Coming back into the ship he changed out of his suit and started to warm himself back up because even his ki he used to keep himself warm after the suit started to frost over got cold and he absorbed a lot of yin energy like that into his body. Now he needed to rebalance his energies attributes. He wasn't confident enough yet to absorb pure yin or yang energy from any place. He got more hardy against those elements but still lacked the understanding to truly absorb them and make them his own. But at some point, he would do it and be pretty immune to ice and fire.

"Alright, how long can you stay here, Alice? I would like to use my instant transmission and visit earth.", he said and rubbed his hand together.

+With this temperature and the star delivering this amount of energy for me it should be for about 4 days until I get frozen and need help from outside.+

"Haha, that's enough time. Don't worry I will be back soon. I put a 250k BP into that orb after all. It should be easy to find you again. Now then.", he said and concentrated to stretch out his energy to browse through the galaxy. It was now way easier to search much wider areas in s.p.a.ce with the amount of energy he had under his control.

And since he made his breakthrough in his meridians it helped a lot. Of course, he had to spend some time getting his control back to a supreme level because every breakthrough also made his energies a little bit rampant but it wasn't something he couldn't handle. But he noted down before he broke through any more levels he should always have the most maximum amount of control with that energy. Unless he wanted to lose his mind, that is.

Darc smiled after 5 minutes of searching. "Found you!", he smirked and vanished from the ship.

Alice floated to the spot Darc was at and looked around. Not detecting him anymore she flew back to her recharge socket and lay dormant. She also sends out some drones to a.n.a.lyze the planet more.

Dr. Briefs tinkered at something weird again at this moment and looked at the data that Darc´s AI was sending him. It looked like he got inspired even more since then.

"h.e.l.lo, Hakase. Long time no see!", said a voice behind him.

"Hmm?" Dr. Briefs turned around and saw Darc standing behind him. He wore the battle armor without the helmet. "Oh, Darc. Did you come to visit? Did you already reach your destination?", asked Dr.Briefs.

"No, but I had to make a stop to refill my water supply. The machine for that works really fine.", he said to him and looked at the clock that hangs on the wall. "Good, seeing the time is about the same here kinda relaxes my mind. I thought at first it would change completely if I visit different planets with a different ma.s.s."

Dr.Briefs was a little bit confused at his words at first but thinking about it he actually got an idea "You think ma.s.s can change the flow of time? Interesting concept.", commented Dr.Briefs and touched his beard in thought.

´d.a.m.n. I kinda got used to talking to myself in those months that I still blabber around sometimes. Gotta be that AI´s fault.´, he thought and smiled wryly.

"Well, Hakase. I hope the data Alice is sending is being useful.", he said and tried to change the topic and looked at all those blueprints he got on his wall of ideas.

"Yes of course! And there are still a lot of things I can learn from the ship as well.", said Dr.Briefs with a big smile.

"That's good. I will go now and give a visit to Bulma since I promised her to come by from time to time.", said Darc and left the lab. Dr. Briefs nodded and got back to his work.

Before Darc left the room Tama actually clung to his shoulder again. "Well look who missed me." He patted the little black kitty and Tama purred in pleasure.
