Part 4: The gift of life

"Hey, KDS, how much longer until the ship will be done?" Daiko asks with a yawn.

"With our current progress, it's almost done." KDS responds.

"That's great." He then gets up out of his chair. "Any update on the sword fragment?"

"Not at the moment Daiko."

"Ok. Hey, KDS?" Daiko says as he looked at the ship. "What do you think of me giving you a gift?"

"A gift?" KDS asked. "Why a gift to me?"

"Well...because I feel like it." Daiko says stretching. "I'll begin working on it tomorrow. It'll probably take some time to work it out."

"It isn't anything too complicated right? After all I'm just a virtual assistant."

"I know you are. That's why, this gift is extra special." Daiko said with a light smile and walks away. "I'll see you in the morning, or not."

[The next day]

"Hmm...say how do I do this? I want to do it and I know the process. Kohl and Kumara told me they were once not androids and had a life before the one they were androids. Wait...does this mean I need a...? This is gonna take a lot longer than I thought. But no matter, time will fly fast."

[2 weeks later]

"Phew, this took some time, but the vessel is complete." Daiko's said.

"I see you have made a...body?" KDS asked.

"Yeah, I figured since the voice I gave you sounds feminine, I went ahead and made a female saiyan." Daiko says. "All that's left now is...you."

"...I do not follow." KDS responds.

"I think you understand clearly KDS." Daiko says standing up. "This saiyan...is you. I know you can't give a whole emotion over this, but soon you will. Help me out here?"

[A few hours later]

"M-Mmm..." the female saiyan opens her eyes into the lights and covers with her arm as she then sits up and looks at her arms and touches her face. "I-It worked?"

"It really did." Daiko said with his eyes closed. "Here, take these clothes to cover yourself up."

"Thanks." She said as she takes the clothes and stands up as her legs wobble a bit. "Woah!"

"Hm?" Daiko catches her from falling. "As I expected, it's gonna take you a while to get adjusted to your new body."

"T-This is embarrassing..." She said as she held onto him.

"It's cool. You'll get used to your new body eventually." Daiko says. "Here, I'll help you get dressed and I can start training you a bit. Not on strength yet, but getting used to your body. It's gonna be simple."

"Understood, Daiko." She says with a light smile.

[1 minute and 12 seconds later]

"Clothes feel much better." She said checking herself out. "Say, is my name still going to be KDS?"

"It doesn't have to be." Daiko says. "What do you want to be called?"

"Haven really thought about it..." She said starting to think. "How about...Celera?"

"Sounds good to me." He said as he pets her head. "Celera."

"Heh, thanks Daiko." Celera says. "And uh...just a quick question. Why did you do this for me?"

"Why? Hmm, well...I still really can't let go of my previous family...Daiko says looking up. "And I just needed to love someone like family...and I've always pictured you as...a sister to me."

"That...huh." She said rubbing the back of her head. "Never thought about that."

"Well, you do always tell me to get some rest when I really need it." Daiko said with a light chuckle and stands up. "C'mon, let's go."

"Where are we going?" She asks as she looked up at him.

"We're about to find out." He said as he reached his hand out to her.

Celeria looked a his hand as she grabs it and stands up. They both went outside as Daiko quickly taught her how to fly in two minutes. She got he hang of it and followed Daiko wherever he went. They first went to a restaurant where Okra experienced taste and got carried away with the expense...

Next they went to the beach where she felt the water and sand. She then flew into the water as she forgot she can't swim. Daiko sighs with a light smile and helped her out. Later, they then went back home as it was time for the final test.

"Today was fun!" Celeria said with a smile. "What's next?"

"Heh, I see you're happy and excited." Daiko says with a chuckle. "Well, this test should be fun for the both of us."

"Well, what is it?" She asks.

"We're going to spar for a bit." He said as he removes his coat. "Me and you."

"Umm...are you sure about that?" Celeria asks as she's a bit nervous and scared. "I know how strong you are but—."

"We start now!" Daiko says as he charges at her and throws a punch.

"W-Wait!" She says as she throws a punch back out of fear.

As she threw her first punch, they both created a small shockwave as their fists clashed. Celeria peeks with one eye as she blinks in surprise. Daiko smiles a bit as he then throws another punch as she dodges it and knees his gut and punches his jaw making him fly back a bit.

"W-Woah..." Celeria said as she looked at her palms.

"Heheh, not bad." Daiko says as he rubs his jaw a bit. "I didn't expect you to learn that quick."

"Let's continue!" Celeria asks with excitement.

"Weren't you nervous and scared before?" He asks as he raises a brow.

"Not anymore, Daiko. Bring it on!" She said as she gets in a stance.

"Remember, this is a final test for a reason. Both strength, and pain." Daiko says as he gets into a stance. "Be ready for anything."

"I will." Celeria said as she let her ki surround her. "Let's do this thing."
