Episode 132: A New Enemy Arrives? The Mysterious Yunomi!
The sun was setting and twilight was beginning to fall. Capsule Corp. was abuzz with another one of Bulma's parties, the Z-Fighters and their friends gathered for delicious foods, spending time with each other, and just having a good time over all.
Well, most of them were.
Off in the distance, several cracking noise reminiscent of thunder boomed through the air, making Chi-Chi sigh in annoyance. "Oh Goku," she growled out, one hand holding a drink while the other was on her hip. "Would it kill him to put the training on hold for an hour?"
"You know how they are," Bulma chuckled lightly from where she stood next to the housewife, her one-year-old daughter Bulla in her arms, the little girl happily sucking on her thumb.
Meanwhile, at one of the other tables, the four human Z-Fighters were chatting and laughing the night away.
"How did you get such a bad sunburn?" Yamcha laughed as he looked at the red mark atop Krillin's bald head. "Weren't you only there for an hour?"
"Yeah, yeah, laugh away," Krillin grumbled out, arms crossed over his chest. "Last time I ever go to the desert to train. I can't believe you survived growing up there!"
"Survived? I love it!" Yamcha exclaimed, a grin appearing on his scarred face. "My mom used to take me out for joyrides on her hover bike! She never had to worry about getting pulled over in the middle of the desert!"
Chiaotzu set down his glass and looked up at the ex-bandit. "Y'know, you don't talk about your family much," he noted. "What are they like?"
Yamcha looked taken aback by the question for a moment, then smiled as he rested his chin in his palm, getting a faraway look in his eyes. "Well…my mom, she was the best," he told them. "She was kind, funny, smart and tough as nails, and we used to do a lot of fun things together. She was always there for me when I needed her."
Tien chuckled lightly. "She sounds like a great person," he said. "What about your dad? And your siblings, if you had any?"
Yamcha fell silent, his gaze dropping to the table as his smile disappeared, and his grip on his drink tightened a bit. Tien, Krillin and Chiaotzu blinked as they noticed this, momentarily wondering if they had struck a wrong cord with their friend.
After a moment, Yamcha sighed, not meeting their gazes. "I don't have a father," he said quietly. "And I don't have any siblings, either." Once he said that, he took a long drink from his glass.
"O-Oh," Krillin said, looking a bit sheepish. "Sorry to bring that up."
"Nah, don't worry about it," Yamcha reassured him, leaning back in his chair a bit. Another thundering boom echoed in the distance, drawing their attention to the source. Or as close as they could see it from here.
OoOoOoO
"HYAAAA!" Goku shouted as he charged up to Vegeta, throwing a punch at the other Saiyan, which was quickly blocked and countered with an uppercut from the prince that sent Goku stumbling backwards for a moment, and that moment was all Vegeta needed to slam harshly into him, sending him crashing into several nearby trees, wood and dirt flying everywhere.
Goku stood up from the billowing dirt, shaking splinters from his hair and looking up at Vegeta with a frown. "Man, when's Whis gonna get here? I wanna train!" the Saiyan complained.
"He'll get here in his own time," Vegeta reminded him, descending to the ground. "Honestly, Kakarot, will you stop complaining about it for five minutes?"
"I can't help it," Goku told him, hopping from one foot to another with a bored look on his face. "It's been months since we've trained with Whis, and he said he was gonna be at Bulma's party. So what's taking him so long?"
Unbeknownst to the two Saiyans, a figure was calmly leaning against a nearby tree, watching the two of them bicker and spar without a care in the world, hidden in the shadows of the tree.
"Do I look like I keep track of Whis' every movement, Kakarot?" Vegeta growled at the taller Saiyan.
"I dunno," Goku admitted, folding his arms behind his head. "I mean, you wait on him and Lord Beerus all the time on their world."
Vegeta glared at Goku and opened his mouth to retort when a new voice cut him off. "Other worlds, huh? You'll have to tell me all about them."
Goku and Vegeta turned to the source of the voice, promptly seeing an unfamiliar figure standing beneath one of the trees. The figure stepped out of the shadows, revealing to be a woman with lightly tan skin, reddish-brown hair that was slightly messy and ended at her shoulders, and onyx-black eyes. She had a rather strange-looking outfit on—a sleeveless dark red dress that ended just above her knees, white knee-high high heeled boots, white gloves, and a long white coat with red lines down the sleeves, red trimming, and a red spade symbol on the back of the coat.
Vegeta raised a brow at her. "And who are you? What do you want?" he hissed.
The woman simply chuckled in response. "Oh, I'm no one in particular," she said, walking closer towards them. Her power level was rather low, no different than most humans, so there was no need to get into a defensive position. She stopped a few feet in front of them, smiling warmly at them. "Your names are Goku and Vegeta, correct?"
"Yeah," Goku answered. "How did you know?"
"Oh, you could say that it's just a feeling," the woman said with a shrug. "But I was wondering if you could help me with something?"
"Sure, what is it?" Goku asked with a grin, resulting in Vegeta slapping him on the head.
"Don't just accept random requests from strangers, idiot!" He hissed, making Goku rub his head painfully and narrow his eyes at the prince.
"It's nothing major, really," the woman said, drawing the Saiyans' attention back to her. "It's a rather simple request."
"Well, what is it?" Goku asked.
The woman chuckled again as she closed her eyes. Almost immediately, Goku and Vegeta's eyes widened and they looked around frantically. "What the?!" Goku said.
"Where's that power coming from?" Vegeta asked quickly. The two of them were suddenly bombarded with what felt like a large, dangerous energy coming from all directions.
They both turned back to the woman, wondering if this had something to do with her 'request', but looked at her in surprise and confusion as a strange symbol appeared in the middle of her forehead. It was a bright red 瘋 symbol, and when she opened her eyes, they were completely whited out. She chuckled one more time before her body seemed to suddenly turn to sand and dirt, and slowly blew away with the wind.
"Huh?!" Goku exclaimed dumbstruck, rushing toward the woman as Vegeta's eyes widened. "Hey, are you okay? What's going on?" He reached for her shoulder to grab on to, but his hand went through it, as if she were made of thin air. Goku stare at her and his hand in surprise for a moment before she disappeared altogether, the strange energy still running rampantly around them.
Goku stepped backwards until he and Vegeta were back to back, their eyes scanning all around them for the source of that energy. A sudden chuckle drew their attention off to Goku's right, and they looked up in time to see an all-too-familiar tall, green, insect-like figure in its 'Perfect Form' step out from behind one of the trees.
"Well, well, well," Cell said with a smirk ever present on his face. "It's really been too long, Saiyans."
"Cell?!" Vegeta exclaimed, eyes wide as he stare at the bio-android. "How the hell are you even alive?!"
"Such a trivial question," Cell responded. "I should be the one asking questions. So tell me, Vegeta, does this look familiar to you?"
And all of a sudden, Cell was holding Trunks by his hair in one hand, lifting him up for Vegeta to see, a gaping red hole in the half-Saiyan's chest. The boy was just hanging there from Cell's hand, cold and motionless…and dead.
Vegeta could only stare in horror, frozen in place as if invisible ropes had bound him to the stop. Then Cell tossed Trunks' body towards him, landing at his feet in the dirt. In that moment, the memory of Future Trunks' death at the Cell Games flashed in his mind, and at that moment, something snapped in Vegeta.
"Trunks…" he said quietly, trembling in anger, then whipped his head up to look at Cell, eyes narrowed with a look of pure, venomous hatred. "YOU BASTARD!" he screamed as he instantly powered up to Super Saiyan Blue, not holding back at all as he charged up an attack. "Galick Gun FIRE!"
The forest around them exploded as Vegeta fired the attack at Cell, a boom louder than thunder shook the air as smoke soared into the atmosphere. When they could finally see again, Cell was nowhere to be see.
"Where'd he go? Did you manage to kill him?" Goku asked frantically.
"I…" Vegeta started to say as he looked down, gaping as Trunks' body was gone too. There wasn't a single trace it was even there in the first place. "Trunks…?"
Goku looked around with an anxious look on his face. "This power level…Where's it coming from?" The strange energy hadn't let up once, still feeling like it was all around them.
"Such an interesting question, monkey."
Goku and Vegeta both whipped around at the familiar voice, and found themselves face-to-face with Freeza, standing there in his Final Form with a smug look on his face. "Freeza?" Goku exclaimed, narrowing his eyes and powering up to Super Saiyan, a golden aura surrounding him. "Back for more, huh?" Though he wouldn't admit it, the Earth-raised Saiyan was secretly happy to see the tyrant. It would definitely make for good practice until Whis got here.
Freeza didn't give a verbal response at first, simply chuckling darkly as he shook his head, then he said in a calm manner, "You monkeys are all the same. Tell me, you always look up, but have you ever thought about looking down?" The emperor pointed to the ground as he said this.
While Vegeta, still in his Blue form, kept his gaze firmly on Freeza, Goku looked down. And as soon as he did, the Saiyan's pupils became mere slits at the sight before him.
Chi-Chi, Gohan and Goten were all lying at his feet. All three of them were badly beaten, covered in blood and dirt, their clothing ripped up…and all three of them were dead, their eyes wide open and cloudy, void of any life.
"Chi-Chi…" Goku whispered in horror, causing Vegeta to look down as well and stare in shock. Goku got down on his knees and pulled his wife's body into his arms, trembling as he held her stiff, bloody form, then looked at his two sons. "Gohan…Goten…" The trembling became more violent as Goku placed Chi-Chi back on the ground and stood up, his anger rising with his power as tears formed in his teal eyes.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" he screamed at Freeza as he powered up to Super Saiyan 3 and placed both hands at his side, a brilliant blue glow forming within a second. "KamehameHA!" he shouted as he fired the attack point blank at Freeza, causing even more debris around them to explode.
OoOoOoO
Back at Capsule Corp., the attention of the Z-Fighters was effortlessly snagged as the sudden huge increase in Goku's energy and the explosion that promptly followed it. "What the…What's going on over there?" Krillin asked as he stood up from his chair with the others.
"It feels like Dad's fighting someone," Gohan said, a worried yet confused look upon his face. "There's an unfamiliar power with him, but it's low compared to his; Dad could easily take it if he wants, so why is he powering up so high?"
While the other Z-Fighters focused on the fight happening in the distance, Yamcha's eyes widened and sweat started to bead down his forehead as he stood up. Don't tell me that's…
"I can't sense my Dad's energy," Trunks added on. "Is he using Super Saiyan Blue or something?"
"Well, that's certainly one possibility."
Some of the Z-Fighters jumped at the new voice before turning around and looking up to see Beerus and Whis hovering above them. "Hello, everyone," Whis greeted in his usual cheerful manner. "I trust that you've prepared some excellent dishes for this party, Bulma?"
"O-Oh, of course!" Bulma responded, still holding Bulla in her arms, the toddler looking at the two newcomers as if they were the most interesting things she had ever seen. "Please, help yourselves!"
"We most certainly will," Beerus said as he and Whis landed. The cat-like deity walked up to the buffet line that had been set out earlier, filled to the brim with exquisite foods. Beerus reached for a tempura, his claws pinching the tail as he brought it to his nose to smell its warm, delicious scent before opening his mouth to chomp down on it. But before he could, another booming explosion filled the air, this time shaking the air all around the partygoers, almost knocking down a few of them from the shockwave that ripped through the air.
"Just what is going on over there?" Beerus asked nonchalantly as he bit into the tempura, savoring the flavor before swallowing.
"It's certainly strange," Whis commented. "I've felt Goku and Vegeta power up like this before, but it doesn't feel the same."
"Doesn't feel the same? What do you mean?" Goten asked from where he stood next to Trunks.
"Whenever those two fought, I could always feel excitement from them," Whis explained. "No surprise, given their Saiyan natures. But right now…" he narrowed his eyes slightly. "I can't sense any excitement from either of them. Right now, it actually feels like…fear and rage."
"Fear?" Chi-Chi echoed in disbelief. "But what would they be afraid of?"
Whis didn't answer, still staring off into the distance where they could feel Goku and Vegeta's energies. At that moment, Krillin took notice of one of his friends' reactions. "Yamcha? You okay?" he asked, taking note of his wide eyes and nervous nature.
Yamcha jumped slightly in surprise, as if he had forgotten that Krillin was there with him. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine, Krillin," he said quickly, though it sounded like he was trying to reassure himself as well. "I just…I've got a bad feeling about something."
Krillin blinked, then redirected his attention back to the energies in the distance. "Yeah, same here," he said quietly.
"We should probably check it out," Piccolo said as he walked to the edge of the balcony. "See what this is all about."
"Right," Gohan said. He flew off in the direction of Goku and Vegeta's energies with Piccolo right behind him.
"Let's do this, Goten!" Trunks exclaimed cheerfully.
"Yeah!" Goten cheered as he and Trunks both flew off after them.
"What the—Goten!" Chi-Chi shouted, but it was no use, as the boys were already out of earshot, making the housewife growl in frustration. "Will he ever listen to me?! I just don't want him to get hurt!"
"Goten can protect himself, Chi-Chi," Tien said calmly as he walked to the edge of the balcony. "Everything will be alright, I'm sure." And with that, he took off after the others.
"Let's go," Android 18 said. Krillin nodded in response before they flew off as well.
Yamcha silently walked to the edge of the balcony as well. Please don't let this be…what I think it is, he thought anxiously as he followed the others.
"Lord Beerus, perhaps we should go with the others?" Whis suggested to the God of Destruction, who was currently occupied with the buffet.
"Not interested," Beerus replied simply, not looking up from his food, making Whis sigh in response before he brought his staff closer to himself, the orb glowing a dim green color as he looked into it, frowning slightly at the images before him.
"What in the world?" he said quietly.
OoOoOoO
Goku and Vegeta, both of them now in their Super Saiyan Blue forms, panted heavily as they stood side-by-side, sweat dripping down their chins as their wide eyes stared at the scene around them.
After Goku had fired the Kamehameha at Freeza, the emperor had disappeared, only for several soldiers from the Freeza Force to show up.
And with every new enemies that showed up, more bodies of their friends suddenly showed up at the same time.
Bulma…Piccolo…Krillin…Tien…Chiaotzu…Android 18…Marron…Videl…Pan…Bulla…Dende…Buu…
Everyone was dead, their corpses covered in wounds and dirt and scattered all around them.
All the soldiers around them suddenly vanished; just blink and they're gone. The two Saiyans flinched in surprise. "W-What the…?" Vegeta hissed out, both of them getting into defensive positions. A flash of color caught Goku and Vegeta's eyes, making them both turn towards it, and they blinked at what they saw.
It was Yamcha, just standing there with his head down, the shadows of his hair covering his eyes, but he looked…different. He looked younger, looking more akin to a teenager, his scars were absent from his face, his messy black hair was shorter and ended about halfway between his chin and shoulders, and his clothing consisted of a short-sleeved black shirt, blue jeans, blue and white sneakers with red socks, and his entire left arm was bandaged up, as if he had been injured.
"Y-Yamcha?" Goku said, rushing up to his friend, who kept his head down and was motionless the entire time. "What are you doing here? And why do you look so different, where are your scars?" he paused, then asked. "Do you know what's going on? I mean…" he reached out with one hand and placed it on his friend's shoulder. "What are you the only one who's not dead?"
"Kakarot…" Vegeta said, making Goku look over his shoulder at the prince, who was looking around them in what almost looked like panic. "Where…Where did everyone go?"
Goku looked around and saw that the bodies of their friends were gone, not a single trace of them anywhere, just like with Trunks earlier. Goku turned back to Yamcha, who Goku still had his hand on. "Yamcha—" he started to say, but was immediately cut off as he was suddenly punched in the jaw by the human, sending him flying back toward Vegeta.
Vegeta stare in shock as Goku landed in the dirt at the prince's feet. "What was that for?!" Goku yelled as he picked himself up, rubbing his cheek with one hand as he looked up at Yamcha, only for both of them to stare at the human.
He had raised his head up, his eyes whited completely out as he stared at the two Saiyans with a look of unadulterated fury. And in the middle of his forehead, he had the same bright red 瘋 symbol as the woman from earlier. "That symbol again…What is that?" Vegeta asked.
"Never again," Yamcha suddenly said as he started shaking. "Never again! Never again! Never again!"
He continued saying the same two words over and over again, almost like a broken record, and like the woman from earlier, his body suddenly seemed to turn into sand and dirt, blowing away in the wind.
"Never again…Never again…" his voice started becoming slow and distorted as large chunks of his body were now gone, leaving Goku and Vegeta to only stare in a mix of confusion and horror. And the symbol in the middle of his forehead was slowly turned from bright red to a much darker shade of red. "Never…again…Ne…ver…a…gain…"
As soon as the last word left his mouth, he collapsed to the ground with a loud, sickening crunch sound echoing through the air, his head twisted at an odd angle and the symbol now pitch black. The last of his body finally vanishing in the wind, and just like with the others, there were no traces that he was ever there.
Goku and Vegeta remained frozen from what they had just seen for several seconds, then Vegeta quickly noticed something. "That power…it's gone now…" he said quietly.
"What?" Goku said, looking around. "Y-You're right," he said, both of them dropping out of Blue and into their base forms. "And that woman…I can't sense her anywhere either. But…what just happened?"
"Dad! Vegeta!"
Both of them quickly turned at the familiar voice, seeing Gohan flying towards them. Goku's eyes widened as he watched his son descend towards them. "Gohan…?" he said quietly.
"Dad, what's going on?" the half-Saiyan asked, and was about to say more when Goku suddenly ran up and hugged him tightly, catching him off guard.
"You're okay," Goku cried out as he hugged his son, only adding to Gohan's confusion. "You're alive." He paused, tears forming in the corners of his eyes as he loosened his grip to look at Gohan, their eyes locked together. "But how? I…I saw your body…"
"Body?" Gohan echoed. "Dad, what do you mean?" No sooner had the words left the half-Saiyan's mouth than the others landed as well.
"Trunks!" Vegeta exclaimed, rushing up to his son and hugging him like Goku had done with Gohan.
"What the—Dad, you're squishing me!" Trunks hissed, turning a bit red. "And you're embarrassing me…"
"Dad, what's going on?" Goten asked as he walked up to his father and brother, who both looked down at him.
"Goten…" Goku said quietly as he released his grip on his eldest son and wrapped his arms around his youngest, who blinked in confusion as a tear fell down Goku's cheek and landed on Goten's shoulder.
As this was going on, Piccolo noticed something on the ground nearby and walked over to it, his brow furrowing as he looked it over. "Goku, Vegeta," the Namekian called over his shoulder, making both of them turn their attention to him. Piccolo pointed down at the ground. "What's this all about?"
"Huh?" Goku blinked, wiping the tears from his eyes as he and Vegeta, who had let go of Trunks, walked over to see what Piccolo was talking about, the others right behind them.
A message was written in the dirt; oddly enough, the handwriting looked very nice.
Tell my little brother I said hello.
Yunomi
"Little brother?" Krillin said in confusion.
"And who the heck is Yunomi?" Trunks asked.
"Wait a minute…" Vegeta said, making the others turn to look at him. "That woman who talked to us earlier…" he trailed off in thought.
"Woman? What woman?" Tien asked.
"This weird woman came to us while we were training and asked for a favor, but…" Goku trailed off, a disturbed look on his face from what happened earlier. "Well, she had this weird symbol in the middle of her forehead and her eyes were entirely white, and then she suddenly vanished as we felt this huge power all around us…"
"Huge power?" Gohan echoed with a raised eyebrow. "But Dad, the only big power levels we felt were yours and Vegeta's. We felt another one, but it was really small compared to yours."
"B-But…" Goku started to say, frowning as he looked back at the message in the dirt.
"You mentioned a symbol," Piccolo spoke up. "What did it look like?"
Silently, Vegeta turned back to the ground and aimed his pointer finger down, a small beam of energy shooting from it, which he used to draw in the dirt. Once he was done, the energy from his finger died down, leaving a perfect replica of the same 瘋 symbol from before, the drawing smoking a little bit. "It looked like this, except it was red," Vegeta told them as he crossed his arms over his chest.
At the back of the group, Yamcha's heart felt like it had dropped to his stomach. No…please, no… he said mentally. He pushed past the others to get to the Saiyans. "Goku, this woman, what did she look like?" he asked hurriedly.
Goku blinked at him, the memory of what he and Vegeta had witnessed with the human flashing in his mind. "Goku?" Yamcha said, a bit harsher than he meant to, making the Saiyan flinch in surprise.
"Well…" Goku started to say. "She had red-brown hair and dark eyes, and she wore this weird red and white outfit with a spade symbol on it. Why?"
Yamcha didn't respond, sweat beading down his face as he ran a hand through his hair, his wide-eyed gaze staring down at the dirt. "Hey, you okay?" Tien asked.
"I…I swore…" Yamcha said quietly, though the rest of them heard it loud and clear. "Never again…"
Goku and Vegeta both flinched at the last two words. "Hey, what's going on?" Trunks asked.
OoOoOoO
Bulma's fingers flew over her keyboard, typing away on her laptop as Goku and Vegeta looked over her shoulders. They had gone back to Capsule Corp. with the others, determined to find some answers, and now all of them were gathered on the balcony. Yamcha hadn't said a word the entire time, sitting at one of the nearby tables with an anxious look on his face.
"I'm worried about him," Krillin whispered to Tien and Chiaotzu. "Why's he acting like this?"
"Hey, I think I found something!" Bulma shouted, drawing most of the others to the table where she sat at. She turned her eyes back to the screen of her laptop. "I looked up that symbol you guys had mentioned. It says right here that it's…the Mark of Insanity."
"The Mark of Insanity?" Goku echoed as he looked intently over her shoulder. And sure enough, he saw it, the exact same symbol that was in the middle of that woman's forehead was now displayed on the screen.
"According to this, the Mark of Insanity is said to be some kind of dark arts power," Bulma read to the others. "It falls under the category of mind powers, including psychosis, mind control, psychokinesis, and several others." She read further down the screen, her brow furrowing. "Chawan…" she said quietly.
"Who?" Vegeta asked.
"Well…this says that the Mark of Insanity was previously unknown to most of the world, but it started to become known to the public a few years ago when the symbol started appearing in cities around the world. Chaos was spawned, and a man by the name of Chawan has taken credit for them…" She scrolled down a bit before continuing. "In each of the cities, there were reports several reports of hallucinations, sudden pain in the internal organs, floating objects, people falling into deep twenty-four hours slumbers, and attacks by the same four people, whom witnesses have reported seeing the Mark of Insanity appear on their foreheads."
She scrolled down again and four pictures of different people appeared on the screen: two women and two men.
The first woman had a fair complexion, straight-cut chin-length brown hair, warm green eyes, and her outfit looked exactly like the mysterious woman's from earlier, except her dress and coat markings were green, and she had a green club symbol instead of a spade. Underneath her picture displayed the name Sencha.
The first man had short and messy dark red hair, a sun-kissed skin tone, and dark eyes, and his outfit consisted of a yellow shirt, black pants, white boots, white gloves, and a long white coat with yellow lines on the shoulders, yellow trimming, and a yellow heart on the back of the coat. Underneath his picture was the name Chai.
The second man had a fair complexion like the Sencha woman, dark red-brown hair that was messy and ended just above his shoulders, and dark green eyes, and his outfit was exactly like Chai's, except his coat markings and heart symbol were orange instead of yellow. Underneath his picture was the name Chadō.
And the fourth and final picture, the second woman…
"That's her!" Goku exclaimed, pointing at the screen. "She's the woman we saw earlier!" Beneath her picture, the name Yunomi was displayed.
Bulma continued reading after a moment. "Chawan has taken credit for each of these incidents, proclaiming each time that he is 'proud of all five of his children.' However, only four people have been reported at these incidents, leading to speculation on whether Chawan actually has five children and one hasn't been identified, or if it's just a bluff."
Silence reigned for a moment as everyone drank in the information, then Krillin turned and asked out loud, "Yamcha, why did you freak out earlier? Do you know about these people?" Everyone else's attention was drawn to the scar-faced fighter, who had looked up when Krillin had said his name, still looking as nervous as he was before.
Yamcha was silent for a minute, then lowered his head a bit, his eyes hidden by the shadows of his hair. "I've…run into them before. I'd rather not talk about it…it brings up unwanted memories…" was all he said, refusing to look up at them.
"So that's why you were so nervous before…" Tien said quietly.
"Psychosis…Hallucinations…" Gohan said. "Dad, I think maybe that's what Yunomi used on you and Vegeta earlier."
"You think so?" Goku asked. "But…what's 'psychosis'?"
"It basically means disconnection from reality," Gohan explained. "And I think that's what Yunomi did to you. I mean, you said that you felt a huge power level around you, but the rest of us couldn't sense anything like that. She must have used her powers to make you hallucinate that."
Goku and Vegeta quickly exchanged a glance. "So…everything we saw, heard and felt…none of it was real…" Vegeta said, then he turned back to his wife. "Is there anything else on this?"
Bulma returned her attention to her laptop and was silent for a minute, then frowned as she answered, "That's everything. There's very limited information on the Mark of Insanity."
"But why would Chawan and his children be causing chaos?" Chi-Chi asked. "What reason do they have? World domination or something?"
"It doesn't say," Bulma said. "Chawan has never said his reasons for these attacks, only that he's proud of his children."
"Hold on…" Android 18 spoke up. "Didn't you say that he's proud of his five children, but only four have been reported?" Bulma nodded once and Android 18 continued, "That message Yunomi left: 'Tell my little brother I said hello.' Do you think she's talking about…the fifth child?"
"Wait, are you saying that…we might know who Chawan's fifth child is?" Oolong asked in a terrified tone.
"It's the only explanation," Android 18 replied. "I mean, why else would she leave that message for Goku and Vegeta?"
"But I don't know anybody who uses any kind of powers like that," Goku said. "And I've never seen that symbol until today." He groaned and held his head. "Oh none of this makes any sense!"
None of them realized that this was only the beginning of all the chaos…
However, one of them had a very good idea about what was to come…
I've had the idea of creating a fan arc of Dragon Ball Super since May 2018, and this came to me a few months ago, and I've finally been able to plan most of it out. I know what I want to do with the first few episodes, but a lot is still being planned out. And yes, I know that DBS is returning with a new arc in the near future...I don't care. I'm still writing this.
The symbol that was shown is actually Japanese kanji for the word "insanity" (real creative, huh? XD). And as for the name puns for Chawan and his children...you Google the meanings of them and I'll let you do the math on this one (I mean, Toriyama's obviously not going to develop his character any time soon, so I'm taking matters into my own hands). I had a lot of fun writing this, though ^ ^
Next time on Dragon Ball Super...
Episode 133: Your Mind's Fabrication? The Fifth Child of Chawan!
