Hello guys! welcome to my first fanfiction on dragon ball, tell me what you think because I need some feedback to understand how to best address the story, I'm not English so if you find grammatical error forgive me xd. This said I leave you to the first chapter!

(A/N: This story is set in an alternative timeline after the tournament of destroyers. In this version Zeno didn't appear at the end of the tournament. The story also follow the manga continuity. )

Chapter 1 - Cabba Return

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball (Z/Super/GT) or its characters.

" Young Cabba we are approaching planet Sadala! We'll arrive in a few minutes! " Vados said

"…."

" Is there any problem Cabba? "

" Huh no nothing, I was thinking to that Saiyan warrior that I met at the tournament " Cabba said

" ah you're referring to Vegeta-San! " she asked "are you interested in him? "

" Yes… I mean not only him but all the Saiyan of universe 7! " he says " If what he told me is true than their entire race was wiped out from a monster belonging to the same race of Frost "

At this the expression of Vados start to show more curiosity

" What wrong don't tell me that a strong warrior like you is afraid to such type of opponent? " Vados said

" Thanks to Vegeta you have turned in a Super Saiyan. You can beat any opponent. "

" Maybe but if in universe 7 there are opponents so strong even in our universe 6 there may be such strong threats" Cabba said looking away from Vados

" Then why don't you go train with Vegeta to acheave what they call Super Saiyan Blue? " She reply

" I don't think that's the case" Cabba said with a lot of security " I saw with my own eyes how powerful it is, but I know that my body cannot sustain that transformation! Even if by a miracle i achieve Blue, my body would't allow me to use the transformation. I'm not ready for it! " Cabba concluded

" Is that so? " Vados said " Oh would you look at that! While we were talking we arrived at Sadala! "

In that moment Cabba felt like his body suffered a brusque slowdown as they entered the atmosphere of the planet. The people of the planet got scared when they saw a beam of light hit the ground just outside of the city

" Here we are! " She said with an happy face " Thank you for participating in the tournament, I hope to see you soon! "

With that she's gone at the speed of light leaving Cabba in his thoughts

The planet Sadala despite its reputation wasn't famous for his wealth. leaving behind the royal palace and the surrounding area, the rest of the slums was inhabited by very poor people who fought every day to live a decent life. Even Cabba despite being the strongest Saiyan in the army didn't live a wealthy life.

Most of the resources accumulated by trade and contracts with other races were brought to the royal palace and were used for personal use by the king himself. The only ones who could claim to have a rich life were the personal guards of the king and his family.

" Well then, It's better for me to report the outcome of the tournament to my captain " Cabba said


Renso house

After a few minutes Cabba reaches a house near the city and knock on the door

" I'm coming, wait a moment please! " Shortly after the door opens and a tall man with a short beard appears

" But what a surprise, it's you Cabba " Renso said

" Yeah it's me! I came back directly from the tournament ring! " He said

" Come in, I can offer you some tea? " Renso said entering the house

" Yes thank you, I really need it " Cabba said following Renso inside the house

It was a very simple house with just what was necessary for a peaceful life. The old captain makes Cabba sit on a wooden chair while he prepares tea.

" Tell me how the tournament went, I'm really curious? " Renso said while serving tea

" Well to begin with I must premise that our universe has lost the tournament! " The young Saiyan said

" Oh…interesting, so the opponents were really strong? "

" Yes but it's not just that. During that tournament I discovered that there is a Saiyan race also in the universe 7! " Cabba said with enthusiasm

The old captain was surprised by this revelation because this discovery can lead to an exchange of cultures between the two races

" Unbelievable! so you're telling me that you've met other Saiyans in this tournament? " Renso said

" Yes, moreover, these Saiyan have found ways to increase their fighting power through transformations. " Cabba said thinking back to Vegeta

" They call these transformations Super Saiyan " Cabba said thinking about what Vegeta told him " These forms of power allow the user a drammatic increase of the physical and spiritual strength of the Saiyan, also increasing the reflexes and the instinct. " the young Saiyan ends the explanation

" This is really stunning Cabba! It seems you have gained a lot of experience from this clash! " Renso said as he finishing drinking from his cup of tea

Renso gets up from his chair and starts going up and down the house while Cabba looks at him with a confused look. At one point the captain turns to Cabba and starts talking…..

" So tell me? can you transform yourself like them? " He says as he stares at Cabba

" Yes, the Saiyan that I faced in the tournament pushed me beyond my limits and has forced my body to unconsciously unlock the transformation. " Cabba said while Renso continued to observe him

" This is fantastic, so tell me of how much you get stronger when you transform yourself? " He said

" About 4 times my current strength. " The young Saiyan said with great satisfaction

" In this case nobody can defeat you in this universe " Renso says with a proud face turned towards Cabba

The young Saiyan is caught by a sudden happiness as he listens to the words of his old instructor in Sadala's army, seeing him proud makes him happy. But after a while he remembers the conversation with Vados during his return from the tournament and his gaze changes from happy to worried almost immediately.

" That's what I'm worried about " He finally speak

" The Saiyan I dealt with told me the story of his race and how they evolved differently. from what he told me they also had a tail. Their warlike race was very different from ours, they went on other planets to plunder them and sell them to other races. According to what he told me, one day, a being of the same race as our friend Frost has obliterated the planet of Saiyans by bringing the whole race of the planet to extinction. the only pure Saiyans left in that universe are a man called Kakaroth and my new teacher Vegeta. " Cabba ends up explaining

" So you're telling me that the whole race was wiped out by a monster like Frost " The old Saiyan said

" Yes, and if such a thing happened in the seventh it can happen here too " Cabba finish to tell Renso his thoughts

In the room there was only silence for a long time until cabba began to compose a question.

"since I started working through the galaxy as a solitary hero, even if I hate being defined like that, bringing justice to other planets, I have forgotten what it is like to live on this planet. from what I have noticed since I returned poverty on this planet seems to have increased and not only that, apparently the king continues to accumulate the resources that should be distributed among the inhabitants equally. " Cabba stop for a moment then continue " the king had promised to help the poor but from what I understand he is continuing to accumulate resources in the royal palace and also ordered half of the warriors to leave the planet to go fight somewhere in the galaxy without a specific purpose " Cabba finish turning his gaze to Renso waiting for an answer

Renso returns to his seat in the chair and with a sad look looks at the cabba as he prepares to give an answer " what you say is true, moreover, since I retired as captain, I have not been able to deal directly with the problems of citizens. In my place, selfish individuals have succeeded, leading the population to see the defense forces as a negative thing." Renso said while getting up from the chair

Cabba stayed for a while with a confused expression, after all he had been on a mission far from the planet for a long time and besides during his travels he was always alone, so he certainly could not make judgments about how to rule a whole planet. " I know I'm not the right person to say this but the king is doing wrong right now " Cabba gets up from his chair and starts going to the door to get out of the house

" wait! where are you going? " Renso said

" I'm going to buy a new shirt and maybe some new pants, as you see during my fight with the Saiyan of the 7th universe, they got damaged " Cabba said returning his gaze to Renso

" Ok then I let you go! " said the old saiyan " why do not you stop later for dinner, I'm a great cook you know "

" yes it's not a bad idea, it's better that my parents do not know about my return otherwise they would not let me leave the house for as long as I've been away " this proposal left a smile on the face of Cabba, it was a long time since he had eaten with Renso since he had retired from the army

" then maybe it's better that you stop here even to sleep, if you want I can host you for as long as you want, basically I enjoy spending time with you, alone I get very bored " says Renso happily

" I would be very happy, you really do me a big favor. In this case I will buy some meat for dinner on my return! " Cabba says as he opens the door and exits the house

" great this will be a perfect evening " the old saiyan says as he closes the door

" ah one last thing, do not tell anyone about the transformation, otherwise I would end up in big trouble with the authorities " the young man says with a serious look

" you're right maybe it's better to keep the secret, if the king came to know probably would have you arrested or worse " Renso said " despite the fact that we pretend to be a race of protectors, we cannot help but fight among ourselves within our society. if the king discovered that you have this power he would try to eliminate you because the government of the saiyan people has always been imposed by the strongest among us " He says while Cabba begins to rise from the earth


City of the saiyans

After some time in the skies of Sadala, the young Cabba flies over the largest urban center on the planet. the population was different from what he remembered, the few people who were around were divided into small groups that often did not even talk, as if they were strangers. Another strange factor was the presence of more soldiers than usual. there were usually some guards to keep order but such a large number was unusual.

Once he finds his point of arrival, the young Saiyan begins his descent on the street, finding himself in front of a building where clothes are sold, he goes inside trying to find what he came for

" excuse me sir I would like to buy a new pair of shirt and new pants because mine are broken " Cabba says as he looks around the store

" It's really you Cabba is so long since I see you in these parts, let me check if I have anything left of your size " the man says as he heads towards the back of the store. After a while he goes out with the couple requested by the boy

" Here Cabba I found clothes of your size as you had asked, unfortunately the standard blue ones are finished because the king ordered me to deliver them all to the army, I have only left these black " the man says with a sorry look

" Unbelievable there is always the hand of the king in every part of Sadala! " the boy says with a face not so surprised " It doesn't matter I'll take them and I also ask you if I can use the shower on the back if you do not mind "

" Sure you can do it, is always a pleasure to help a kind person like you " the man says as he turns his attention to another customer

the young saiyan once in the back takes off his dirty clothes and enters the shower. for him it was a very relaxing moment because he was traveling for a long time in the galaxy and he did not have any decent places to wash properly each time.

Once out of the shower, Cabba reassembles his equipment and throws the dirty clothes into the trash. First he wears his new purchases, it was unusual for him to wear black clothes but since he had no other choice it was useless to complain. After wearing the shoes and bracelets in the hands and legs he starts to wear his armor on his chest, completing with the addition with its brown belt.

Leaving the shop, the young saiyan greets the owner and starts walking through the streets of the city, reaching the outskirts area. 2 hours were left for dinner time, so he still had time to relax.

As he walked through the streets, people looked at him from the windows and when he got too close to the people they moved away in great haste almost for fear of having him near.

" Fantastic now everyone is afraid of army soldiers who should protect them. this situation is becoming really embarrassing for someone like me! " Cabba says as he continues to walk straight (A/N: although Cabba has black clothes under the armor, this remains the same as before so people recognize him as one of the army)

Once he has reached the suburbs, Cabba begins to inspect the area. The people present were very few and also it seems that these live in conditions to say the least decent as suspected.

At one point the young saiyan hears the screams coming from the street and looks out from the alley to see what is happening. Apparently the screams came from a group of army soldiers who came to reclaim a part of the wealth, however it may be called that, from a family down the street.

" we have already told the old man, you had to pay last week but apparently you do not want to cooperate with the army of Sadala " says a soldier

" we have nothing more to give you, you have deprived us of everything we could give you last month and now there is nothing left " the elder says as the soldiers approach

" the king's orders are clear, if you do not want to help the army by paying a monthly contribution then we must arrest you immediately, so say goodbye to your home " another soldier says while he is holding the old man's arm

Suddenly behind the soldiers a sound of feet draws the attention of the group that turns to see who caused the noise. " What is happening here? " says a boy dressed in black

" And who the hell are you? " the group leader says as he approaches Cabba

" My name does not matter, what matters is your presence in this area. It seems to me that the king has accumulated enough wealth for the moment, so your presence is a problem to be solved instantly! " says cabba while he intimates to the soldiers to get away

" Fantastic we have a funny guy here, you wanted it, we should stop you too " the leader says as he turns to his companions " take him too " the duo who was next to the old man moves away from the position and attacks Cabba immediately.

the first soldier starts with a volley of punches that fail in an attempt to hit the young Saiyan dressed in black and then load a ki ball and throws it at short range to his opponent. Cabba reacts immediately by deflecting the soldier's arm by sending the ball high into the sky, creating a bright explosion around the residential area. Soon after he hits the first soldier with a fist to the breastbone while he is in mid-air, knocking him on the spot while he falls to the ground.

" Impossible we in the army are the strongest, how can exist someone stronger than us " the group leader says

The second soldier after seeing the end of his companion tries a different approach and launches a burst of ki towards Cabba but he manages to deflect all attacks and with an angry look he approaches at an incredible speed the soldier who remains petrified on the spot. After disappearing before his eyes Cabba reappears behind him, kicking him to the collarbone that sends him to the ground carpet.

the third soldier after seeing the performance of the young Saiyan remains dumbfounded and continues to fix his companions lying on the ground defeated.

" And with this we have concluded, take your companions and never come back here again " the black saiyan says as he stands between the old man and the soldier

After collecting his companions, the soldier turns to Cabba one last time and then goes off towards the royal palace.

" Thank you for your help boy, I owe you, those soldiers come every time trying to take away until the last money I have " the old man says as he opens his front door " why don't you go into the house and have a cup of tea "

" No, thanks I've already drunk at a friend's house and now you have to excuse me but I really have to get out of here before other soldiers come looking for me after what I did " the young man says as he walks away

" but how ?, you do not belong to the army too? "says the man

" Don't you dare try to confuse me with simple cheap soldiers, I belong to the elite of Sadala, I have traveled and fought in every part of the galaxy, but apparently things have changed since I left the planet " Cabba tell the old man

Cabba thoughts " In fact if it wasn't for Vados that made me call to go to fight in the tournament I would have come back much sooner "

" Anyway do not worry old man, those soldiers will hardly return to bother you after the ugly figure they have made but if they come back I will be happy to help you again. Now forgive me but I really have to go " Cabba says as he disappears into the dark alley

After having resumed his journey the young saiyan arrives at the market of the city and as promised Renso he buys a large portion of meat for dinner and after having paid it returns to his steps.

In the return, Cabba notices that people in the streets have disappeared and feel as if viewed by someone. At some point a hooded figure tries to attack him from the edge of the road but promptly avoids his attack, finding himself behind another person who tries to hit him in turn.

Cabba bends forward touching the ground with his right arm and stands out jumping with a somersault at the edge of the road. looking ahead, the young Saiyan notes that the figures with hoods have become four and look at him closely.

" So ?, can i have an explanation about it or you will keep staring at me like I'm a show statue" Cabba says as he recomposes himself

One of the people comes forward and takes off his hood. it's a girl of his age with spiky hair approaching Cabba with an angry look on her face. " Who gave you permission to enter my territory? " she said

Cabba, after hearing his answer, looks at her with a puzzled look and starts laughing. " your territory? Don't make me laugh, this area is owned by everyone, who you think you are to decide who it belongs to? "

" How dare you? everyone knows me in the army, I am Caulifla, and this is my band. All the soldiers are afraid of me because I am the strongest of them all, but apparently they are recruiting everyone in their ranks so you are really unlucky! You have crossed the road with the wrong person " says the young saiyan

" Now leave that food in your bag and you can leave! " she says as she prepares to fight

" I'm sorry but I need this meat for dinner so I cannot just leave it to you! " Cabba responds as he turns around and starts walking again " I do not have time to play with you, maybe another time "

Caulifla after the last sentence starts to get angry and a vein appears in his forehead while give a deadly look at the saiyan dressed in black " Now stop making fun of me " says Caulifla as she launches towards Cabba " now I will destroy you and I will take that bag by force! "

Cabba turns once again to the girl and manages to block her attacks with his left hand, however he soon realizes that she is not a normal saiyan. After creating a bit of distance between him and his opponent with an energetic rejection, Cabba moves away in flight at a high speed followed by Caulifla and the rest of his band.


Rocky lands

Soon it reaches a rocky area outside the city and lands on a rock while the rest of the pursuers land on the plain

" So I was right you're just a coward who runs away at the first opportunity " Caulifla said

" I came here to avoid damage to the city but if you want we can go back " the young saiyan says as he places the sack on the rock

" Since when you soldiers are interested in the welfare of citizens, you always act as superiors in the streets and impose taxes on the poor who don't even have the money to pay you and then arrest the weakest when they don't pay you " the girl says as she keeps her angry expression at the saiyan

" I think you're confusing me with someone else, why don't we pretend we've never seen each other and we're leaving from here, the sun is already setting and I have an invitation to dinner to be respected " Cabba says while smiling at the girl

" you continue to make fun of me despite what I told you and above all, what do you think I'm stupid, I see very well that you wear an armor of the army, so stop lying! " she says " now fight me and if I win you will give me that bag with the meat inside "

" you're really stubborn " Cabba says while he too lands on the plain " But you did not tell me what happens if I win? "

" if you win, I will give you permission to take me to prison as the soldiers treat me like a criminal " she answers him

" as you want " he says

After a few seconds of silence both Cabba and Caulifla pose ready for the fight, both do not move a muscle until Caulifla throws herself against Cabba trying to hit him with her right fist. Cabba readily blocks the blow and notices for the second time that the strength of the girl is almost identical to his as a shock wave is generated at the time of the block with the left arm of the saiyan. Then the boy tries to throw a fist in turn against the girl who breaks against his opponent's fist, creating another explosion. Finally the two keep themselves in a grip, relying only on their physical strength.

" Awesome! in pure strength we are even! " says Cabba while keeping the grip " Now I believe you can stand up to the army soldiers "

" Stop praising me we just started " Caulifla says as she tries to increase the strength on the grip but does not move Cabba by a centimeter

Cabba at some point release the grip and jump in the air by loading a ball of purple ki that prepares while taking aim on his opponent.

Caulifla having noticed the intentions of the saiyan charge in turn a sphere of ki of red color and directs his arm towards cabba.

Both release their energy shots that collide against each other creating a gigantic explosion that sweeps away part of the rocks around and makes both Cabba and Caulifla and its band fly away.

Cabba after having suffered a collision reassembles landing with his feet on the ground leaving a crawl on the ground while Caulifla as Cabba lands touching the ground with her feets trying to maintain the balance

" Saw I was right, it was better to fight here to avoid destroying half the city " Cabba says while observing Caulifla's reaction

" Whatever! " she says " why we don't continue, since we haven't finished yet "

The young Saiyan was really surprised by the strength of the girl but did not have much time to lose, so he decided it was time to end this fight soon.

" I didn't have much time left, so if you don't mind I'd like to finish the fight as soon as possible! " Cabba says as he changes his expression into a more serious one

" What are you talking about? as you can see you haven't even damaged me, as you think you can beat me instantly you're out of your mind! " Caulifla responds by maintaining her arrogant attitude

" Well, then I'll show you right away " Cabba says while charging his aura, remaining stationary in place " I will show you the true power of a saiyan to his maximum! "

The air around the combat area had overheated and under the feet of Cabba the stones had risen from the ground and surrounded him as his aura increased more and more.

his spiky hair stood up more as his body mass increased, its aura that was once white was now slowly turning yellow.

his hair, which were black before, began to shine intensely until they became completely golden while his black eyes went to a lighter color.

" There! " Cabba says as he releases the last sigh before calming down

Caulifla thoughts " and what the hell is that ? Why his hair has become golden, I've never seen anything like that! "

In a blink of an eye, Cabba moves behind Caulifla without being noticed by her " Buhh! "

Caulifla turns to find Cabba while he makes a mouthful with his tongue out " what the hell are you? " Caulifla tries to throw a punch at Cabba but he blocks it very easily

" How can I define myself? mhhh ... let's see. certainly I'm a saiyan belonging to this planet, but I'm very different from the others if that is your question! " the black saiyan replies, holding Caulifla's fist in his hand

" Keep making fun of me, now you'll see! " she says while preparing another volley of punches directed towards Cabba but fails miserably as they are all diverted by the young saiyan with golden hair

After one last punch forward Cabba bends backwards, making an upside down while he strikes with his right foot Caulifla to the face sending her to crash against the rocks behind him.

" Huuhh!#? " it's the only thing that Caulifla could say while crashing against the rocky surface

Cabba touched the ground and took a push to Caulifla preparing his left fist leaving a golden trail along the path.

Caulifla remains surprised by the strength of Cabba but seeing his fist approach closes his eyes instinctively.

She soon realizes that the fist doesn't come into contact with her face and opens her eyes slowly.

Caulifla finds Cabba in front of her, left in midair with his tense fist clenching her face as she remains motionless.

" Do you give up? or I have to continue? says the saiyan dressed in black while observing his opponent

" I don't know who you fought before me but as you could see you no longer have an average Saiyan warrior in front of you! " he finish

Caulifla after having resumed her forces descends towards the ground followed by Cabba who heads for his sack left on the rock.

" Wait! " she says " where are you going? "

Cabba retrieves the bag and turns to the girl. " Why you care? "

" We had agreed that if I lost to you, you would have arrested me! " she says

Cabba turns to Caulifla with a stupid expression as if he hadn't understood the sentence " I don't know what you're talking about, I've already told you, I think you've confused me for someone else! "

" Now if you do not mind, I have to go, it was fun to play with you but I'm late for a dinner and at the moment I don't have time for a date! " he says turning away from her

Caulifla becomes red as a tomato begins to scream against Cabba " sure because if I had to go out with someone I would go out with you! You're an idiot! "

The moment Cabba turns around to answer Caulifla, another hooded figure belonging to the band throws himself behind Cabba trying to pull a strong punch to the stomach of Cabba but he manages to block the blow in time

" What the hell? " he says while he loses his balance due to the blow received

After having recovered Cabba raises his gaze to find another girl of his age who keeps his fist in the grip with Cabba and gives him a mortal look

" Stop Kale what the hell are you doing! " Caulifla says as she raises the girl's arm and drives her away from Cabba

" I'm sorry Caulifla, I wanted to take that bag because you wanted so much " she says

" It does not matter I lost against him so I have no right to have that " Caulifla says

" I'm sorry….." Kale says

Cabba thought " That girl has a scary power, she's almost as strong as me when I'm transformed "

" Well if we have finished here I'm leaving, it's late! " he says as he starts to rise from the ground

" Wait, you didn't tell me your name? " Caulifla says

" My name is Cabba, happy to have met you! " he says as he starts flying away from the rocky area quickly

Caulifla rejoins with the rest of her band and starts thinking "Cabba? I've already heard this name! "

" I'm sorry sis, I wanted to recover that meat for you but I failed " Kale says

" I already said that it doesn't matter, the problem is that I have nothing to bring to my brother for dinner tonight as he invited me " she says " you three go back to the shelter I'm leaving for today "

" Ok…" the three says


After some time at Renso house

Renso was preparing the table in the dining room when he heard someone knocking on his door " I'm coming, one sec…! "

The old saiyan opens the door and finds himself in front of the young Cabba with a sack on his shoulders and his new clothes on him

" Ah, it's you, Cabba, come in and get comfortable I've just finished preparing the table! " the old man says " I noticed that you bought new clothes, they're just fine with you "

" Yes even if they were left only these black unfortunately! " he says

" Hahaha, why don't you buy a mask and you become a masked hero? " Renso says as he sets the table

" Ha Ha Ha really funny! ... I'm sarcastic! " Cabba says while resting the bag on the table

" what's inside that bag ? " the saiyan says as he points his finger at the Cabba sack

" I bought a large amount of meat for this dinner as it was an important occasion, it cost me about 70 space credits " he says

" Fantastic then I immediately put it to cook in the pot! " Renso says as he grabs the bag with the meat inside " Ah .. I was forgetting to tell you that I invited my little sister for dinner so we are lucky that you bought more meat because she will wipes it away in a few seconds! "

" Since when you have a sister? " Cabba says

" Really? I never told you? " he says " Then this is the right opportunity to present her to you! "

" In the meantime the meat is cooking I go to the shower if you do not mind! " Cabba says as he crosses the living room

" Sure, you will find a towel attached to the shower, use it as you like " Renso says

" Thanks! " he says


After a few minutes

" Brother open the door I have arrived! " the girl says

Renzo goes to the door and opens it to find Caulifla on the door with her arms folded, after having let her into the house returns to the kitchen to check the meat

" What is this fragrance that comes from the kitchen? " she says

" I'm cooking some meat from the Sadala market! " he says while rotating the meat with a wooden spoon

" How much time it's missing to be ready? " Caulifla says

" About 15 minutes! " Renso says

" In this case I'm going to take a shower in the meantime " Caulifla says as she enters the bathroom

" Ah .. I was forgetting to tell you something! " too late she has already closed the door behind her " Ops..! "


In the royal palace

" My king there is a problem between the troops you have sent to the slums! " a soldier says

" What kind of problem? " the king ask

" A black soldier appeared in front of three of our soldiers and attacked them, reducing 2 half-dead while they were gathering resources for the royal palace " the soldier reply

" Then I want you to find this black soldier and bring him to me! "

" As you command my king! "
