Project Enneyac

Scene Twenty Seven

Kob pressed the intercom button beside En’s door and spoke into it. 

“Enneyac? It’s me, Kob. Are you ready?” He asked. 

After a moment of silence, the voice from the intercom responded. 

“Yeah I’ll be there, don’t get your panties in a twist.” Said the voice. 

Kob rolled his eyes slightly and shifted his weight as he waited for En to exit. 

When the air-pressurised doors opened to the sides, En exited with a lilac cape that covered two halves of her frontal armour on both sides as well as the back, her shoulder, stomach and side torso pads are now dark brown with the shiny protective plates now jet black coloured. Equipped with the same raspberry pink lensed scouter, she now also donned a pair of mid-calf length white boots tipped with gold rings that fit snuggly onto her well toned legs, that were now fitted with dark gray blue spandex. 

“You’re putting on your gloves now? We had all morning to get ready.” Said Kob as he looked discerningly at En’s direction. 

“Well it’s not like we don’t have all day, the ceremony’s not even starting until after the banquet.” Said En as she smugly tugged her prestine white gloves onto her small hand, enjoying the sensation of the furry texture inside that was designed to trap in the heat as well as minimising the amount of bacterial infection the troopers may catch while on strange planets. Despite her cocky demeanour, she thanked the fact that the sound proof room she had kept all the nosie of her ruckus sealed, after all, when she had worked so hard to establish an image of an elite in the making, having anyone witnessing her bouncing up and down on her unmade bed while flapping her cape like a lunatic was the last thing she wanted to happen. The taste of power and glory is so close that she felt she could explode from all the excitement, but through pride she must contain it, until she could grasp it in tangible form and smell it in the air, she would not act anything out of the ordinary. 

“True, but this is King Vegeta we’re talking about, and we want to make the best impressions we can give, after all, judging from our demonstrations of our abilities, he will pick out those who will work directly beneath or even along side of him.” Said Kob as he shifted his gaze forward and greeted the other passing Saiyans in the hallway with a light nod of his head. En did not bother to do the same as she was focusing on cleaning her scouter lense with a corner of her cape and breathed a few times onto it while doing so. 

Kob exhaled for a moment, then continued. 

“Enneyac.” He said. 

“Hn?” Replied En, as she casually fitted the scouter back on her ear. 

“Aren’t you nervous?” Asked Kob as he looked down at her. 

“Why? I was born to do this, ain’t nobody going to top me!” Said En as she beamed, her strides widening with each step she took. 

“You do know that this will mean right?” Said Kob. 

“That I’ll be handling all the planetary conquests my way and not have to check in with any sods in authority ‘cause wait, I AM the authority? What else could it also mean?” Replied En as she brought her elbows close to her chest in excitement. 

Kob went silent for a while as they continued to walk. 

“I guess you have nothing to worry about then.” He said. 

“Aren’t you excited?” Asked En as she looked up at him. 

“We’ll see I guess, either way I’m not too worried.” He said with a faint smile. 

Geez what a sap, what’s with all these weird questions? Thought En. 

“Well, here we are, you sure you don’t want to take a stroll outside before warming up?” Asked Kob as he placed his hand just above the numbered keypads beside the training room. 

En fell silent to the question as she thought for a while. 

Last time I nearly got spotted by Toma, stupid fool left his scouter back at the base, no way am I ever showing my face out there again, not until I have the power. She thought. 

“Nah there’s nothing to see, come on let’s get started.” Said En. 

Kob looked at her with a faint smile before typing the pass code via the keypads.
