Into the Galaxy! Locations Revealed!

Zamasu watches beside Bulma as everyone gets into their respective spaceships. He glances over to the scientist and says, "Are things in order?"

Bulma nods, looking down at a clipboard in her hands. "Everything seems to be working fine. I don't think we'll have any issues for a few weeks, if we need to be gone that long."

Zamasu frowns and crosses his arms. "It is uncertain how long we will be in space. We may need to return to refuel, but we must be certain Bojack is not unto us at that point."

Bulma looks up from her clipboard, a frown mirroring Zamasu's on her face. "Is this Bojack guy really such a threat?"

The kai-saiyan closes his eyes, remembering his group's short but impactful encounter with Bojack. "He's beyond anything I've seen so far in this universe. I am no match for him in my current state."

Bulma looks down, her frown deepening. Zamasu glances over, noticing her silence, and raises an eyebrow at the soft red on her face. He's never seen that look on Bulma before, and he doesn't like it.

Speaking of, Bulma looks down, her mind racing. "It's now or never," Bulma tells herself. Sighing audibly, Bulma turns to Zamasu and says, "Hey, Zamasu." Seeing his attention on her, Bulma continues. "I thought I'd tell you this now, before we have to… you know, separate."

Bulma gulps, her face flushing a bit more. "Um, you see. Ever since you helped us against Vegeta, I've been… enjoying your presence more and more. I… how do I say this? Your leadership, your ability to stand up and take charge when the rest of us are a big mess, it's really inspiring. Um, well, what I guess I'm trying to say is… I like you, Zamasu."

A heavy silence hangs in the air. Bulma, having glanced away from Zamasu at the end, looks back. Sweat gathers on her forehead as she sees Zamasu staring, not a single twitch in his apathetic expression. "Zamasu?"

Zamasu blinks, then sighs, turning away. Looking up to the sky, Zamasu replies, "As flattering as it is, I must decline your advances." Bulma's eyes widen and she can feel the familiar heat of anger rise up in her, but Zamasu continues. "You see, I'm not human, nor am I mortal. Not truly. My heart, my spirit, it belongs to my duty to this universe, as a god. While it is not impossible for a mortal and a deity to gain a relationship, it is frowned upon due to the complications it makes in the hierarchy. I am sorry Bulma, but I must say no to you."

Bulma can feel her heart snap, but oddly, not as much as she thought she'd feel. Bulma looks down, her expression dejected, and nods. "I… I think I understand. You can't take time away from helping the universe, right?"

Zamasu glances back to Bulma, his eyes seeing her sadness, but his heart seeing the woman he killed so long ago. Closing his eyes and banishing the evil thoughts from his mind, Zamasu nods. "Among other reasons, but yes. I cannot be in a relationship yet. Besides, you have others here on Earth more suited for a relationship than I am."

At this, Bulma glances at the other two people she has feelings for. Yamcha, someone she's known for years. She's always loved him as a friend, and maybe something more at some point, but now, she can't see it. She'll always have that lingering feeling of doubt though, just as she knows Yamcha has. Then there's Vegeta, the bad-boy prince of all saiyans. He's new, but when he's not so dangerous, Bulma isn't ashamed to say she felt attraction just at the sight of him. He seems just like her type, but she's uncertain if he'll accept her feelings.

Nodding, Bulma says. "Right. There are others." Lifting her clipboard again, Bulma smiles at Zamasu and says, "Well, everything should be good to go. Shall we head off?" At this, Zamasu nods. The two of them walk to their respective ships. As they do so, Zamasu turns to look at Bulma one final time. Flashes of fire, her terrified but defiant face, and his own malicious smirk, cross his mind. Zamasu shakes his head and enters his ship, eager to rid himself of the haunting images. Chronoa can only frown in sadness at Zamasu's turmoil. What is she to do but watch, and wait?


Zamasu fiddles with his hair once again. He can't help but mess with it at times. It's so unruly and stiff, nothing like his previous mohawk. Speaking of, he pulls on the bang resembling the front of his previous hairdo. It still jars him sometimes when he wakes up and sees his current appearance. His mind is still hard-wired to his old Goku body. He doubts he'll ever get used to this foreign, unknown body as he did with Goku's. He had an example that time. He has none here.

"Yah done messing with your hair yet princess?"

Zamasu doesn't even turn away from the mirror as he responds, "I am a god, Cheelai. I must look my best. Besides, I am interested in my current appearance, as I always am."

Cheelai rolls her eyes and stands up straight, her arms still crossed. "Whatever boss. Just don't start doing that in front of other people. It's weird."

Zamasu glances at Cheelai with a raised eyebrow, then turns back to the mirror, trying desperately to fix a loose strand on his head. Cheelai looks Zamasu up and down, then says, "You know, ever since that visit to the sorceress, you've been a lot more open about your supposed godhood. Are you really all you say you are?"

The kai pauses in his hair-tending and stares at Cheelai. The little Herian reflexively flinches at the stare. Something in that look is menacing, cold, and beyond anything she's ever seen. She crosses her arms and rubs them as a shiver passes through her body. "Ok, ok, you proved your point."

Zamasu lets up the stare and turns back to his mirror. He fidgets with his hair some more, then sighs as it springs back up. "I am more open because you all have earned my trust. You've seen my worst laid bare, something I cannot take lightly. What you saw, it was an intimate part of me."

Cheelai rubs her arms again, but not because of a chill. "You… you aren't gonna do that again right?" Seeing Zamasu's confused expression, Cheelai looks away, suddenly uncomfortable. "Um, you know… kill people?"

Zamasu pauses, staring at Cheelai, but not with the same look as before. This one is one of horror, horror at Cheelai's question. Turning to his mirror, Zamasu stares in shock as he sees not his current appearance, but his old one. Goku Black smirks viciously at Zamasu and says, "What's wrong? Can't face me?! I'm you! You can't escape yourself!"

Zamasu steps back in shock as his reflection returns to normal. Cheelai, noticing the strange display and getting a good idea of what happened, says, "Zamasu! Are you ok?"

The shaken kai turns to Cheelai and stares uncomprehendingly for a moment. He blinks and a bit of light returns to his eyes. Zamasu grits his teeth and shakes his head, turning away. "I'm… I'm fine. It's nothing."

Cheelai frowns, not believing that for a second. The little girl runs up to Zamasu and grabs his hand, pulling on him and saying, "Come on! You'll feel better if you distract yourself from everything by leading us!"

This, at least, gets a smile out of Zamasu. "Alright, alright. I'll fill you all in on what needs to be done." Cheelai grins and pulls Zamasu harder, which removes some of the doubt in his mind. His heart can rest easy with these mortals surrounding him.


Zamasu pilots the ship to their destination, the same place he once went to. Turning to his group, Zamasu says, "Remember the plan?"

Toga and Cheelai nod, Cheelai responding, "Yeah, yeah, let you do all the talking and don't interrupt. We know." Zamasu nods and lands the ship. The planet they are on is small and uninhabited, beyond a small selection of people they are here to see. Stepping outside, the group is met with a Japanese-style temple, their destination.

Zamasu folds his hands and walks forward, his presence emanating the same aura he put on with Cheelai. Despite his restraints, Zamasu can feel his godly presence coming back to him. He must be close to achieving something.

Walking up to the temple, and opting to ignore the escalator this time, Zamasu is met with the exact same face he saw so long ago. The pudgy, massive purple head stares at him in four, and Zamasu is given an unpleasant reminder of his first time approaching this place.

Zamasu looks at the four identical beings as one approaches. "Zuno-sama has been expecting you, Zamasu-san." Another steps up. "Please, follow us." The four attendants turn around and walk into the temple. Zamasu follows without a word, Toga and Cheelai trailing behind, the saiyan hybrid carrying the still-unconscious Kenyo.

The four attendants show the group to Zuno's room, where the large, purple man waits. Zuno stares at Zamasu with a neutral expression, one Zamasu returns. As they come to a stop in front of Zuno and the attendants leave, Zamasu curtly says, "Zuno."

"Zamasu." The two have a stare-off. Cheelai and Toga watch silently, both of them confused. Then, without warning, Zuno sighs audibly. "If it wasn't for Chronoa-sama forcing me to give you a chance, I'd never give you the light of day, considering what you did in the past."

Zamasu grunts softly. "I don't wish for this reunion to last, Zuno. You are still a repulsive mortal."

This makes Zuno smirk slightly. "And yet you are mortal as well. Quite the irony."

Zamasu forces his ire down and instead breathes through his nose a little too audibly. "Quite."

Zuno regains his neutral expression. "I will give you one chance to ask a question. Make it count."

Zamasu sighs, but he already knows what question to ask. "What are the exact locations of the Super Dragon Balls?"

Zuno nods, expecting this. "Yes. One lays near the planet named Arcto, orbiting their sun as a disguised planetoid. Two are in possession of Beerus-sama, and three are in the possession of Champa-sama. The final is in Universe 6, near planet Sadala. Considering the locations of these Super Dragon Balls, I bet Zeno decided to mess with you and moved them to spots where adventures can occur."

Zamasu rolls his eyes, not putting it past the childish king. "Very well. That is all we needed. Thank you." Zuno smiles. "See how pleasant I can be when I am not threatened?" Zamasu shakes his head and turns around, ready to leave.

"Wait!" Everyone pauses as Toga shouts. Toga looks at Zuno and gulps a bit, but holds her ground. She's a proud Hera warrior, she can do this. "Um… Zuno-sama? If you can answer anything, then can you explain how to make Kenyo wake up? He's been unconscious for a really long time, and I'm worried."

Zuno looks Toga up and down, eyeing her up. Then, he sighs softly. "Very well, but only because you have the youthful energy of a young girl about to become a beautiful woman." Toga's eye twitches, but Zuno ignores it.

Taking a look at Kenyo, Zuno hums to himself and nods. "Yes, I can see it. Only the defeat of the one called 'Bido' of the Galaxy Soldiers can revive Kenyo's consciousness. Bido is your target, as he is the one that imprisoned Kenyo."

Toga glances at Zamasu, recognizing the name of Bojack's group. Zamasu shakes his head no, quite firmly at that. Toga looks down, dejected, then smiles at Zuno. "Ok, thank you." Zuno gives a curt nod, then ushers them all out with his attendants.

As the group walks back to the ship, Toga looks at Zamasu and says, "You said that you are gonna ask King Kai to set up a telepathy channel for us all to use, right?"

Zamasu nods. "Yes. It will allow each group to communicate from anywhere in the north galaxy. Any farther and we will be cut off."

Toga nods in understanding. Then, she asks, "Can I speak to Master Vegeta, please?"

Zamasu raises an eyebrow. "Master Vegeta? What brought this on."

Toga huffs and crosses her arms beneath her chest. "He is my master, after all! It's only right if I call him that!"

Zamasu chuckles a bit at Toga's defensiveness, which causes her to blush in embarrassment. Despite his amusement, Zamasu replies, "Very well, I can give you contact with Vegeta. For training, I assume?"

As Toga nods, Zamasu can't help but smirk. This situation is turning into quite an interesting adventure, and he can't help but feel like it'll become even more so as time goes on. As Zamasu and his group enter the ship, he announces their plan. "Off to planet Arcto. That first Super Dragon Ball is ours."

The book closes as Chronoa smiles happily. "We have a plan, we have destinations, and two universes, already! This is going to be so cool!"

Chronoa turns and grins. "This really has been fun to read, and I know the author is having fun writing this too. I certainly enjoy reading it and seeing what happens!"

"Supreme Kai of Time!"

Chronoa's eye twitches as Trunks runs into the room. She turns on her number one patroller and yells, "What is it Trunks?! I am still finishing the chapter!"

Trunks, learning to just roll with whatever weird thing Chronoa is talking about, says, "Another time rift appeared! We need you to close them up!"

Chronoa groans and says, "Another?! How many more is Fu gonna make?! You know what, next time, he comes in here and reads with me! Maybe that'll keep him occupied and not making my job harder!"

Chronoa turns and grins sheepishly. "Well, looks like I have to fix this. I'll see you in the next chapter, and as always, thanks for reading!"
