Chapter 4 - Monster Child

[Preparing for Host's birth in 3....2....1....]

The bright light penetrated into his eyes which quickly blinded him as he hasn't seen light in a full 7 months. And this is all thanks to his stay in that dark abyss called the womb. Hearing many voices around him, his eyes finally adjusted to see about 8-9 workers around him in medical coats. All of the coats carried the same symbol representing that work for the Frieza Force. There were two workers in particular that seemed to be in charge of the delivery. One had a scouter and the other held what seemed to be an electronic pad.

"Hey Lir, what's the status of the Saiyan?" The one with the souter asked, while the one in questioned also had many similarities to a fish in appearance such as bluegills, scaly skin, plus a fin on the top of the head.

"His vitals are clear with no signs of abnormalities of the sort Nox. He looks to be very healthy." Lir said while holding up Zane to expect him further. Nox, who had much in common with reptiles with his long snout and red scaly skin, took a glance at the newborn and noticed something odd from the Saiyan.

"Seeing how he just came out shouldn't he be crying or something?" Nox asked, confused by the strange actions of the baby.

Zane on the other hand let up a sign as he was just happy that there weren't any language barriers as he quickly understood what their workers were saying.

"It's indeed strange that the baby isn't screaming or crying, but such occurrences like this do happen, although very rarely," Lir stated while he analyzed Zane. This is where he noted that Zane seemed to be more interesting in his surrounding as he can be seen staring with a questioning gaze.

"HEY!! You guys have had my baby long enough! Bring him over here, I want to see the face of my child!" Shouted out an annoying voice who just recently stood up from the medical bed and headed their way.

Lir upon hearing the angry voice felt a shiver up his spine and quickly passed Zane over to the woman as he was afraid he would suffer her wrath if he held him any longer. The woman of course was Zane's mom, she received him and unlike the previous vicious attitude she had, she showed more of a proud expression upon looking at him as he resembles a lot of his father.

'How does she have so much vigor left in her, she just went through labor,' Nox thought in his head. While in Lir's head he has seen these kinds of actions before and they are more or less expected.

The Saiyan's physiology naturally being more tough and durable than most other races due to their barbaric past, violent nature, and innate strength. Not to mention the fact that Planet Vegeta has 10x the gravity of Earth so they are 'practically' already gravity training. All of this shows that something as simple as childbirth would pose no problem for an experienced female warrior thus explaining her quick recovery from it.

Zane takes a better look at the woman and took note that she was indeed a beauty. She had this creamy light brown skin that shone in the light. Her large oval-shaped black eyes and long black spiky hair contrasted nicely together. She would stand above a lot of people in looks. But what really mattered the most to Zane was the fact that in his eyes Zane can see parts of his mom back on Earth. Those eyes held some affection towards him. Zane felt a grand sense of peace for a brief moment upon looking into his new mother's eyes.

"Hey Nox, quickly use the scouter to check his power level so we can finish our work," Lir mentions to Nox. The mother feeling pretty tired reluctantly agreed to the scouting, she ordered it to be done fast.

Hearing this the female warrior's ears perked up as she too was wondering the same. 'Hopefully, he is at least in the same class as his father and I.' She thought quietly in her head for after all it's every Saiyan goal to have powerful offsprings.

Agreeing with his partner as he knew that this woman was not to be trifled with as everyone present knew that she was one of the strongest people in the whole medical center right now. Pressing the red button on the side of his green scouter, Nox stood in shock. His eyes and mouth widened, sweat began building on the forehead. His partner noticed the strange behavior and probably thought the kid's power level was in the 80-120 range, as most newborn children had power levels in the 10-40 range. Newborns with power levels in the 80-120 range were rare and few. Deciding that this was the cause of Nox's expression Lir asked again.

"Hey Nox come on, we don't have all day hurry and spit it out," Lir asked impatiently, already wanting to leave.

"T-T-This is c-crazy, how can this be....i-i-it's in t-the 400's!" exclaimed Nox as he backed away from the child with slight fear in his eyes. To think that a newborn baby can have this much power, why this was indeed a major shock.

"W-WHAT!!!" shouted Lir, who never expected the kid's power level to be so high! Sweat also started to form on his face as he too subconsciously took a step back in astonishment.

With a look of doubt, the woman took another look at her baby and then back to the workers wondering if their Scouters were defective.

Nox also with the same thought process as the mother snapped out of confusion and ordered a worker to use their scouter so they could check again.

2 of the 7 workers who were previously occupied with cleaning the room and checking machines, were listening to the earlier conversation because they really had nothing else to do. They too were also surprised along with the other workers when they heard what the kid's power level was. After hearing Nox's order, they hastily turned on their scouter towards the boy and again couldn't believe their eyes!

"The scouter says the power level is at 465!" replied one worker who had oily orange skin and blonde hair paired with a scrunch-up face. Zane looking at him thought he resembled someone back on Earth.

"Mine says the same thing, sir!" Said the other worker who honestly looked like a cat person that had an orange with black-striped fur paired with a short round body. This person also reminded Zane of some character back on Earth but he couldn't put his tongue on it.

Lir now confirming that the initial power reading was real thought best to report this to the higher-ups. The child will most likely be on their list of future concerns as he seems to actually have some potential. This can be troublesome for them as the Saiyans were already showing signs of defiance from the recent shift of power going from King Cold to now his son Frieza.

Overhearing their claims the female Saiyan quickly retrieves her scouter and locks it onto her son. To her, this came as a surprise and if what the workers are saying is true, then this would just be fantastic! This being so as both she and her husband were both born into the Mid-Class group up until the past few years as their powers rapidly increased during this time to the High-Class group. And now their newborn son is already being classified as an Elite-Class Warrior based on his power level right now!

Looking back at the mother and child pair Lir continued with the conservation from before with now sounding a bit more respectful towards her.

"Miss Celan, before we leave to register your child to the database we will need his name. Have you decided that already?"

"I have. His name will be Zukai." The woman holding Zane now known to be Celan replied. The name choice came after she saw that Zane took a lot after his father so it was fitting to her to give him a powerful-sounding name.

(Editor's note: Where's the dad, shouldn't he be present.)

"Excellent name for the young mons...Sa-Saiyan." Then continuing, "Miss Celan would you like to leave your baby here with us while we put him in our Incubator Pods. He will have our utmost care and will be attended to at all times due to him being an Elite, also we will notify you if there are any problems." Nox said with a smile as he was trying his best to convince lady Celan of the idea about leaving him here with them.

"Yes that would be fine, but I want to make sure my son is going to the Elite nursery room." Celan proudly stated as she finished Zukai's registration.

Zukai now hearing the words they said about the chamber, looked in shock at his new family.

'F**k I totally forgot that Saiyan babies are put into incubators the day there are born!! Arghhh now I have to spend at least 2-3 years inside of one!' This is what Zukai thought as he couldn't control his emotions anymore as his baby self started to cry for all to see.

Not really knowing what to do or just letting Zukai do his thing, Celan was just glad that he showed that he had a voice as she simply went back to talking with Lir.

"Yes, yes, of course, his power is more than enough to be placed there," Lir answered as they began to walk over to the nursery.
