NOTE: I write these characters the way I have for a specific reason that will all of pay-offs later on while still trying to keep them in character. Also, Natsu has been the hardest to write this entire time. Like, you can't make him too smart or too dumb, so it's been a pain in the ass.
Anyway enjoy and review.
Chapter 48: Cold Cuts
(Cut to the gang on their way to Frieza and King Cold's location. The back of Vegeta's pink shirt currently says "Dum Cumpster".)
"Hehehehe," Canna laughed to herself.
VEGETA: All right, Frieza's just over this next formation. Now, before we move in, we need a plan. So here it is: all of you will attack from the front, and while you're being slaughtered, I'll flank him, taking him from behind and securing the kill! Ready? Break!
"At least he was realistic about part of that," Gajeel said.
"Who in their right mind would follow this plan?" Jellal said, unimpressed.
PICCOLO: No.
TIEN: Yeah, no.
"Thankfully, everyone isn't stupid enough to follow," Kagura spoke, relieved.
YAMCHA: Personally, I don't think Bulma should be here- a battlefield is no place for a lady!
VEGETA: And yet you're sticking around.
"BURN!" The kids shouted.
YAMCHA: I'm serious! I worry about her safety! And as my close personal friend-possibly even bestie.
"You need to stop trying," Lucy said, exhausted from Yamcha's ass-kissing.
"It's not even funny anymore, Yamcha," Gajeel sighed.
YAMCHA: I think we need to consider... (Bulma grabs his ear) Ahhh!
"Thank you, Bulma!" Mira giggled.
BULMA: Anyone want to explain to Yamcha here what ten pounds of torque does to a human ear?
GOHAN: Rips it off?
BULMA/Mira: Very good, Gohan!
(Gohan, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Puar all start laughing)
KRILLIN: Oh, we're gonna f**king die…
"At least he's not being optimistic this time," Lucy said, nervously.
"Just accepting death," Freed said.
[OPENING SEQUENCE]
(cut to Frieza and King Cold being confronted by the young man)
KING COLD: So is this him, sweetie? Is this the man who hurt you so?
FRIEZA: No, Daddy. This is a new one.
"Speaking for all of us here...besides the 'daddy' part," Macao said.
YOUNG MAN: So, you must be Frieza! (pronounces it as "Fry-za")
"Huh?"
"That's not how his name is pronounced," Levy said.
FRIEZA: Actually, it's Lord Freeza.
"No, that's still wrong," Natsu frowned.
"H-how?" Lucy questions.
"It's pronounced 'Freezer'."
"Shut up."
YOUNG MAN: Really? Then why is there an "i" in it?
"There isn't," Freed answered.
"Then, how come the author writes us saying the name with an 'i'"? Milianna asked.
"Huh?"
"What?"
FRIEZA: There isn't.
YOUNG MAN: Huh. Gonna have to fix that one when I get back, then.(Levy notes that) Anyway, I'm here to kill you!
"Wishing you the best of luck, young man," Makarov says, strongly.
FRIEZA: *chuckles* My, my. Not five minutes on this wayward rock and we already have a volunteer-teer-teer (shorts out) dead man!
"His own system corrected him," Gray noticed.
FRIEZA: Soldiers! Do your jobs!
STRAW: Lord Frieza, with all due respect...
FRIEZA: This sounds like insubordination!
"No, it sounds like he's using his brain," Evergreen said.
STRAW: He just turned an entire squad into a pile of limbs!
FRIEZA: And that sounds like it's not my problem!
"I mean they are your henchmen. So, it kinda is your problem," Lily responded.
"I'm sure they have more henchmen, but still the exceed isn't wrong," Jellal said.
CHAYOTE: Man, move your bitchin' bitch ass over, bitch!
"What an extensive vocabulary you have," Carla said, sarcastically.
CHAYOTE: (walks past Straw and scans the young man with his scouter) What, power level of five? Shit, ain't nobody got time for that! (fires a shot at the young man who deflects it into a plateau) Well, that ain't right…
"No shit, dumbass!" Laxus yelled.
(the young man rushes forward and elbows Chayote in the face, knocking him into King Cold's ship)
YOUNG MAN: Consider that a warning! Either leave now or die!
"Being assertive, I like him," Gajeel smirked.
"Have to let your enemies know you're serious," Jellal agreed.
FRIEZA: Ooo, is that an ultimatum? I love ultimatums! Here's mine: either die to him or die to me!
"So, either way you guys are dead," Bickslow laughed, manically.
(King Cold's soldiers start rushing at young man before the camera goes black, with a couple of sword slashes being seen, and the young man is now seen standing in front of King Cold's men, who are all immobilized)
"Nothing happened," Wendy said.
"Give it a moment," Kagura tells the young Dragon Slayer.
FRIEZA: What... What just happened?
YOUNG MAN: Give it a second.
FRIEZA: No, really, they're just…
"Wait for it," Kagura speaks.
YOUNG MAN: No, no, hold on... (sheaths his sword and all of the minions keel over)
"SO COOL/MANLY!"
"He's really impressive," Erza and Kagura both noted the young man's sword skills.
"Quick and decisive, as to not let his opponents gain any necessary ground. Almost like a shadow," Rouge spoke with respect.
YOUNG MAN: Yeah, took me a whole three months to get that one down. They make it look a lot easier than it really is.
"I agree with him. Erza makes many techniques look very easy," Kagura nodded.
"It did take me a while to get many moves under control," Erza blushed, at the complement.
YOUNG MAN: Real hard part was that guy's armor. (the last minion standing gapes as his scouter breaks and some of his armor falls off) I ended up going through a dozen mannequins before I cinched that one.
"Should he really be having civil conversation at the moment?" Jellal frowned.
"He looks rather young, so I'm not surprised he's busy talking. Kids these days like to talk more than anything," Makarov explained.
"Us?" The mages of Fairy Tail turned to him.
"Yes you!"
FRIEZA: You missed a spot... (impales the minion with his hand)
"Yeah, he's pissed," Sting winced.
MINION: Lord Frieza... The f**k? (drops to the ground as Frieza takes his hand out)
"An accurate reaction," Lily said.
KING COLD: You know that was our last minion, right?
FRIEZA: Who cares? We have more at home.
KING COLD: No, I mean now we have no one to fly the ship!
"Are you that pompous that you can't fly yourself?" Carla said, with an eye rolled.
FRIEZA: I can fly it!
KING COLD: Son, we do not fly ourselves- flying is for the help!
"Boooo!" Happy yelled.
YOUNG MAN: So, uh, curious, what's with all the spare parts sticking out of you?
FRIEZA: Impudent little... These are not spare parts! What you are looking at is the ultimate culmination of science and nature!
"I've seen better," Laxus scoffed.
"And if you're the 'ultimate culmination of science' then science has really suffered in space," Levy replied, sarcastically.
YOUNG MAN: (looks away sarcastically) Oh, wow... I've... never seen that before…
"Hm?" Levy and Freed questioned.
FRIEZA: You know, the only reason you continue to breathe is because I need something to entertain me until the Super Saiyan arrives.
YOUNG MAN: Oh, really? Because if it's a Super Saiyan you're looking for... I can fill the part.
….
….
….
"WHAT!?" The entire audience did an entire double take.
"H-HOW!? The only Super Saiyans are Goku and Bardock! So, how are you one!?" Levy questioned.
"I think we're skipping over the fact that this kid admitted to being a saiyan. Which means that unless he's Turles' love child, then Frieza is terrible at extermination," Gajeel reminded everyone. The mages turn back to the screen in anticipation to see what happens next.
FRIEZA: What?! (the young man gives off a small smirk) *laughs* Oh, you hear that, Daddy? "I can fill the part." It's like a five-year-old trying to play police officer.
"Romeo made an adorable police officer as a kid," Macao thought back.
"DAD!"
"Or when Laxus would always dress up as me and pretend to be Guild Master," Makarov exposed.
"OLD MAN!"
KING COLD: Or like how you play Pretty Pink Princess?
FRIEZA: Daddy, not in front of the malcontent!
The dads in the guild all snort at the interaction.
KING COLD: But it's so cute when you do it!
(the young man begins powering up, undergoing a familiar transformation)
The anticipation increased as the young man started to power up.
"Come on...come on….come on," Natsu bounced with excitement.
FRIEZA: I haven't done that since I was eight-eight-ei-eight- (shorts out) my quinceañera.
"The ultimate science," Freed rolled his eyes.
(the young man starts yelling)
FRIEZA: What?!
KING COLD: Zounds!
(cut to Piccolo and Vegeta feeling the young man's power)
GOHAN: That's... that's my dad!
"Wrong blonde, but the power isn't far off," Lisanna said.
KRILLIN: Are you sure, Gohan?
GOHAN: Either that or we just felt Frieza's mom...
KRILLIN: Who here just thought of Frieza with boobs?
"Me," Natsu raised his hand and everyone looked grossed out at the thought.
"Dude, really?" Gray replied in disgust.
KRILLIN: (silence) Really? I'm the only one?
VEGETA: Yes! (thinking as the camera zooms in on him) He must never know…
The mages laughed at Vegeta's self-secret.
(back to the battlefield where the young man had just transformed into a Super Saiyan in front of Frieza and King Cold)
Mira paused the episode to allow everyone to take in the new Super Saiyan. Levy added the mysterious young man into her notes as the third Super Saiyan. Everybody else examined the features of the young Super Saiyan.
"Seems all Super Saiyans get those handsome green eyes," Evergreen observed with a smirk.
"Hey, Natsu! Another Super Saiyan is pretty cool right!?" Sting asked his idol.
"Hell yeah! Goku was so awesome as a Super Saiyan and Bardock was pure badass! Seeing another one is getting me ALL FIRED UP!" Natsu shouted.
"Welp, Mecha-Frieza and his dad are done," Laxus leaned back into his seat.
"Right! Nothing can stop a Super Saiyan!" Wendy and Romeo cheered.
FRIEZA: Those- those eyes... They're the same as...
(flashback of Goku as Super Saiyan on Namek)
GOKU: (distant whisper) Pizza…
"Even the galactic warlord gets PTSD," Jellal said.
(back in the present)
FRIEZA: No. No! NO! NO! (rises up and begins to create a huge energy blast) NO! Kill! (shorts out) Murder! (shorts out again) Destroy! (shorts out once more) EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
"That's a bit too much, don't you think!?" Lucy squeaked.
(Frieza throws the blast at the young man, which falls on top of him and digs into the Earth's surface. Frieza starts laughing crazily.)
"He's officially lost his mind...again," Levy sweatdropped.
"Bold of you to assume he was ever sane," Gajeel retorted.
KING COLD: All right, get down here. I'm going to call Space AAA and have them tow us, thank you very much! (Frieza lands and starts walking away from the blast, which suddenly stops descending) What?
"SUPER SAIYAN POWER!"
FRIEZA: (turns around) What!?
(Frieza's blasts starts rising up into the sky, with the opening lyrics of "The Circle of Life" from "The Lion King" being heard)
KING COLD: Frieza, what did you do?!
FRIEZA: Daddy, not now!
(the young man is revealed to still be alive and walks out of the crater while holding Freiza's blast above his head, causing Frieza to growl in anger)
"Mecha-Frieza really sucks at killing Saiyans," Gajeel laughed.
YOUNG MAN: Well, Frieza, looks like you dropped the ball! (Frieza glares at the young man and twitches) Dropped the ball.
"Don't keep making the joke," Minerva looked disappointed.
YOUNG MAN: (Frieza continues to glare angrily at the young man) Drrrropped the ba-
FRIEZA: Hrgh! (shoots a small blast into the huge one, causing it to detonate and create a humongous explosion. The gang nearby screams and ducks for cover)
"Trigger happy to a whole new level," Gildarts whistles at the damage/
(The camera then shows what's left of the area, which is now a humongous crater with the young man nowhere to be seen. King Cold lands next to Frieza.)
KING COLD: You almost destroyed the whole planet there.
"All because of his temper tantrum. No surprise there," Carla muttered.
FRIEZA: Sorry, I got a little bit carried away. Doesn't matter now, though. Our little Super Saiyan is dead-dead-dead- (shorts out) cadaverific.
(the camera shows the young man on top of a cliff and prepares another attack)
"You might want to check again," Kagura smirked.
YOUNG MAN: Hey, Frieza!
FRIEZA: What?
YOUNG MAN: You should split! (fires a blast at Frieza and King Cold, who both jump out of the way)
"They did split up!" Wendy cried, in surprise.
FREEZA: If you're trying to be clever, you're sorely lacki- (hears someone screaming and looks up in the sky) Huh?
(shows the young man above Frieza, holding his sword above his head while descending)
"OH! That's what meant," Wendy realized.
YOUNG MAN: Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!
FRIEZA: Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!
YOUNG MAN: Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!
FRIEZA: Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!
YOUNG MAN: Aaaaaaahhhh!
FRIEZA: Aaaaaaahhhh!
YOUNG MAN: Aaaahhhh!
Natsu and Happy join in. "Aaaahhh-"
"DON'T START!" The mages yell at the two. Both partners slump dejected.
FRIEZA: Aaaahhhh!
YOUNG MAN: Aaaahhhh!
FRIEZA: Aaaahhhh!
YOUNG MAN: Aaaahhhh!
"Ok, this is taking too long," Evergreen sweatdrops.
FRIEZA: Aaaahhhh!
YOUNG MAN: Hi-yah! (attacks Frieza with his sword)
FRIEZA: Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!
"Finally!" The Fairy Queen yelled.
(the blue screen of death appears on the screen before showing a diagonal cut, revealing that Frieza, with the BSOD in his eyes, has been cut in half by the young man)
The mages cheered at the sight of Frieza in two.
"Seems like Mecha-Frieza just couldn't make the cut," Gildarts jokes, which earned him a slap from his daughter.
KING COLD: (witnessing what just happened to his son) My baby boy!
"Your baby boy has once again tasted defeat," Rouge stated, with confidence.
(cut to the gang arriving near the battle)
KRILLIN: We're finally here! Where's Frieza-? (notices the young man, Frieza, and King Cold in the air) Oh... There he is...
(the young man proceeds to slash Frieza into tiny bits with his sword before obliterating him with a ki blast)
"And hopefully that's the last of Mecha-Frieza," Lucy hoped. Levy wrote in her notes of Frieza's defeat. Died against the Mysterious Super Saiyan Youth.
KRILLIN: And there... And there... (gets hit in the face by one of Frieza's organs) And here... (looks down at the organ) Is that his brain?
"Surprised it didn't disintegrate," Freed spoke.
(the young man spins and sheaths his sword)
GOHAN: Guys, I think that person is a Super Saiyan!
VEGETA: Like hell he is!
"Aw, look at him trying to protect his fragile ego," Minerva laughed.
KRILLIN: Spiky gold hair, incredible power...
VEGETA: You don't know that he's a Super Saiyan! Maybe he's Super Human, huh? Maybe you slackers just haven't been trying hard enough!
"There's only so much you can say to lie to yourself," Gajeel laughed, hysterically.
TIEN: Says the non-Super Saiyan.
VEGETA: F**K OFF! (flies towards the battle)
The mages all burst into laughter from the exchange.
(cut back to the young man landing on the ground along with King Cold)
KING COLD: (angrily glaring at the young man) You murdered my princess...! (calmly) Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
"Excuse me?" Makarov asked, gripping his cane tighter.
YOUNG MAN: Children?
KING COLD: Yeah!
"A real father loves all of his children, no matter what," Makarov said.
"Exactly! That's why I love my Canna so much!" Gildarts hugged his daughter.
"LET GO, DAMMIT!"
YOUNG MAN: Okay, sorta thought you'd be a little more pissed...
KING COLD: Oh, blindingly so. Mind if I see your sword?
"No," Erza and Kagura answered.
YOUNG MAN: What? Why?
KING COLD: I just wish to hold it.
YOUNG MAN: No!
"Good answer," Erza smiled.
KING COLD: Oh, come on, be neighborly!
"You came to Earth to kill everyone. Out of everybody there YOU are the one who needs to be neighborly," Yukino said, angrily.
YOUNG MAN: I'm not your neighbor. I also think I hate you.
"We all hate him," Sting agreed.
KING COLD: Look, after what you did, I can fit what's left of my son into a meat pie- let me see your stupid sword!
YOUNG MAN: Eh, fine. (lobs his sword at King Cold, who catches it)
KING COLD: See? Nothing nefarious- I just wanted to inspect the craftsmanship... Admire the temper... Test its edge on you, you insubordinate hick! (attacks the young man with his own sword, who stops it easily with just one hand and starts powering up)
"And at that moment, King Cold realized he fucked up," Gajeel said.
KING COLD: Uh... Still not sure if you hate me?
YOUNG MAN: Actually, that pretty much sealed it. (blasts a hole through King Cold's chest, knocking him next to a cliff)
"DAMN THAT WAS FAST!"
KING COLD: No! No, wait, please, I... We can make a deal! If you spare my life, I'll give you a planet! Three planets! Two and a half?
"Five planets and you have a deal," Minerva argued.
"Minerva!" Erza looked astonished.
"I'm just joking, Scarlet," Minerva waved her off.
YOUNG MAN: You just went down.
KING COLD: I'm a haggler...?
(The young man fires a blast at King Cold, obliterating him into atoms, and then fires another blast at his ship, destroying it. The gang is seen watching the explosion from afar.)
"And with that Frieza's family is no longer an issue," Levy said, while writing down King Cold's fate.
"I feel like we're forgetting something," Lucy wondered.
"Nah, I think we're pretty much cleared up," Levy answered.
KRILLIN: Good work, team!
"You guys were spectators, so yeah good job at not getting killed again," Romeo gave a thumbs up.
(the young man sheaths his sword and reverts to his normal form before looking over to the gang)
YOUNG MAN: Hey, there, guys!
VEGETA: (off-screen) F**k this guy!
Some laughed at Vegeta's greeting.
YOUNG MAN: I'm about to go meet Goku! Just follow me!
"Wait, he knows Goku," The mage's expressions turned into confusion.
"So, that's why he knew about Frieza coming," Freed realized.
"Maybe, Goku trained this guy to become a Super Saiyan while in space," Lisanna theorized.
"If that's the case, then why didn't Goku come back himself?" Natsu asked/
"Guess, we'll just have to continue watching," Jellal said.
GOHAN: Wait, did he just say my dad?
KRILLIN: Wait, Gohan! We don't know if we can trust this guy…
"You can trust him, though I'm happy you're talking sense for once, Krillin," Lucy smiled.
YOUNG MAN: I also brought snacks!
KRILLIN: ...but the Bible does say "love thy neighbor"!
"Nevermind," She sweatdropped.
GOHAN: You're a Buddhist.
KRILLIN: A hungry Buddhist.
"I agree with Krillin," Natsu rubbed his stomach.
(The gang flies off after the young man. The young man is seen flying and looking at a GPS system on his watch.)
GPS: Fly 300 meters northwest, then land near Idiot Rock.
"Sounds like your type of place, Natsu," Gray said to the Dragon Slayer.
"Huh? How come?" Natsu asked, confused.
"Because you're an idi-" Before he could finish, Juvia covered his mouth to prevent another fight.
YOUNG MAN: So that's what they called it before Idiot Crater…
"Wait, how would you know that?" Levy asked.
YOUNG MAN: (he lands along with everyone else) Now, I'm sure you're all wondering why I brought you here.
KRILLIN: Snacks!
YAMCHA: To kill us!
VEGETA: To kill snacks!
"Neither of those three," Freed answered.
YOUNG MAN: Goku is going to land near here in approximately three hours. Until then... (throws a capsule at the ground, revealing a mini fridge) let's all have a drink. (takes out a can of Hetap) I've got soda, beer, and Hetap.
TIEN: Isn't it a little early to start drinking?
BULMA: Hey, 5 o'clock was twenty hours ago! (chugs down a beer)
"PREACH SISTAH!" Canna downs more beer as well.
KRILLIN: So, stranger, what's your name?
YOUNG MAN: Can't say.
KRILLIN: Well, Mr. Can't Say, I'm Krillin!
YOUNG MAN: That's not funny.
"Agreed, it's not funny," Minerva deadpanned.
"I thought it was funny," Millianna muttered.
"Well, we all can't be special like you, sweety," Minerva responded. She was smacked by Erza. "Be nice," Erza hissed.
KRILLIN: What isn't?
"Yeah, he's just stupid," Laxus said.
GOHAN: So... you know my dad, right?
YOUNG MAN: Well, sort of. Really, I've just heard a lot about him.
This threw Lisanna's theory out of the window completely. Taking the guild by surprise completely.
"Wait, if you don't even know Goku, then how did you know about Frieza?" Jellal asked.
"And how did you know where and when Goku would land?" Erza asked as well.
YOUNG MAN: It's kind of-
BULMA: So, hey, like, just gonna throw this out there... You're really cute!
YOUNG MAN: (uncomfortably) Well, you know, my mom always said I was a cute kid...
BULMA: Oh, a mama's boy, huh? I'll be your "mommy~" (winks at the young man)
"I'm pretty sure he's underaged, Bulma!" Lucy sat up alarmed.
"Please tell me Bulma's just joking," Yukino hoped.
YOUNG MAN: (internally while giving off a smile) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
"I know she's a grown woman, but there's no need for that reaction," Juvia said, confused.
"This kid is way too mysterious," Gildarts said.
KRILLIN: Can I have another Hetap?
YOUNG MAN: (hysterically) Yes! yes you can!
BULMA: By the way, that jacket is awfully familiar...
YOUNG MAN: Um...
BULMA: Yeah. I even made it myself- (notices the logo on the young man's jacket) Capsule Corp. logo?
"How did I not notice that?" Levy writes it down in her notes.
"Just adds to the whole mystery," Lucy said.
BULMA: Even cut it short to show off my midriff! (the back of Vegeta's shirt reads "Pull my hair")
"I do~" Canna purred.
VEGETA: (thinking) If he's never met him before, how the hell does this kid know where Kakarot is going to land?
YOUNG MAN: (heard faintly during Vegeta's first inner monologue) I love everything about Capsule Corp.!
"Not suspicious at all," Lily said, sarcastically.
VEGETA: (still thinking) And he can't actually be a damn Saiyan. Either he's a liar or... Maybe…
"He's a Saiyan or else the last 10 minutes were complete bullshit," Gajeel said.
"Wait, what conclusion is, Vegeta drawing?" Levy needed to know.
YOUNG MAN: (heard faintly during Vegeta's second inner monologue) Yup, love storing things...
VEGETA: (still in his thoughts) Wait a second! (out loud, the back of his shirt now says "Pull my hair") Did someone drink the last Hetap?! I'll kill you! (Krillin imitates Curly's whooping sounds off-screen)
"And he dropped it," Levy slumped in her seat.
(time card reads 2 hours, 45 minutes later)
(cut to everyone waiting for Goku's return)
CHIAOTZU: Tien, I'm bored...
TIEN: Chiaotzu, we only have to wait a little while longer. We'll say hello to Goku and then we'll go home.
CHIAOTZU: Can we get McDonald's?
TIEN: Only if you're good. (Chiaotzu whines)
"Like, father and son," Macao laughed a bit.
(cut to the young man looking at Vegeta)
VEGETA: (notices the young man staring at him) What? What are you lookin' at? What, do you like what you see? (the young man looks away) Yeah, that's right, eyes to yourself! I don't swing that way- I'm a real man! (the back of his pink shirt now says "Blowjob Princess")
"Definitely need to get Gajeel a shirt like that," Levy muttered, so Gajeel couldn't hear her. Sadly for her, he did.
"NO WAY IN HELL!"
"But, you'd look so cute in it!"
"NO!"
GOHAN: Hey, Mr. Piccolo?
PICCOLO: Yeah?
GOHAN: I was wondering... Why didn't you go with the rest of the Namekians to your home planet?
"Because he's an antisocial weirdo," Mira answered.
PICCOLO: Oh, I don't know, why don't you just go to Vegeta with the rest of the Saiyans?
VEGETA: (off-screen) Hey, I've already got one hitting on me over here, I don't need another!
"Chill, princess," Gildarts said.
(the young man's alarm goes off on his watch)
YOUNG MAN: (thinking) Oh, thank God. (out loud) All right, everybody, Goku should be landing any moment now.
"Alright!" Natsu cheered.
"Finally getting to see him again," Erza sighed, happily. Much to the chagrin of Jellal and Kagura.
(Gohan gasps excitedly, but nothing happens)
"Huh?"
VEGETA: Well, I don't see him, so you're wrong. I think you've been lying to us the whole time! There's no way you could- (a space pod whizzes by the gang and crashes not too far away from their location) That could be anyone…
"Just face reality for once," Laxus sighed.
(the gang gathers around the crater and watches as the door of the space pod opens slowly with Goku quickly emerging from inside)
GOKU: GUYS, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME! FREEZER'S HERE AND-
"You're 2 hours late," Lucy giggled.
(everyone standing around the crater starts cheering)
GOKU: Yay... (laughs nervously) Wha-?
"Welcome back, Goku," Erza smiled.
[ENDING SEQUENCE]
[STINGER]
BULMA: (eyeing the young man while waiting for Goku) So... Do you think the carpet matches the drapes?
"Oh my god…" Yukino facepalmed.
KRILLIN: I dunno. Do yours?
BULMA: Krillin!
KRILLIN: What? It was a leginamate question... I mean, a legitimate quest... Whatever.
"He's not wrong," Gildarts said.
BULMA: It's just very personal! I mean, do yours?
KRILLIN: Yeah.
BULMA: (baffled) What?
KRILLIN: It's called manscaping.
"What's that?" Wendy asked.
"Something you don't need to know!" Carla huffed.
BULMA: It's weird.
KRILLIN: It's hygienic!
"Again, he isn't wrong," Gildarts shrugs.
Chapter End
