Before I knew it, a month and had come and gone while I trained under Master Roshi. At first, I just wanted to get the Pump Up form down, which I quickly renamed to the Ultra form, just because it sounded cool, and both the Sleepy Boy hypnosis technique and Thunder Shock Surprise.

Then before I knew it, I was going and grabbing my minions and coming back. There was so much more room to spar over the ocean, and the atmosphere was so so much more relaxing. Plus, there was way bigger fish to find and hunt in the ocean when I got hungry.

From there, I learned about pressure points from my old master, something Goku didn't have the intelligence to understand once upon a time when the old pervert had tried to teach him way back when. And even more surprising, Telepathy. The man who's memories I'd gained, he didn't know how Goku had gotten it in canon, and he'd gotten it long after I had been created as his training partner, that was for sure.

So it was very surprising for the old man to know it as well, and teach it to me.

It was a month well spent. I could have pursued a few other avenues that would have let me get stronger quicker after learning the techniques I wanted, but I found the atmosphere around Kame House as I trained almost tranquil despite the constant violence I was embroiled in.

If anything, the month spent training under the turtle hermit, it was relaxing, and let the massive burden of weigh that had been hanging over my shoulders slip off.

"You sure are somethin'," Roshi commented, looking up from his porno magazine as I dropped from the air, landing on the grass of his small island. My two Saibamen minions on the other hand, my sparring partners, collapsed to the ground, sprawingly and panting like dogs trying to get their breath back. I'd been a little hard on the pair of them, "Both of them are stronger than that long haired brother ah yours that started this mess and you handled em like a tiger on a pair of house cats."

I smirked with pride. My power had exploded in the last month. I'm not sure exactly how strong I've gotten, I'll need my scouter to measure, but I'm at least nearly three times as strong as the me that arrived on this island last month, and that isn't even going in to the Ultra form which increased my power by half again. I can definitely handle Nappa as I am now.

"The benefit of being a saiyan, Master Roshi," I replied with a shrug, "Our bodies are made to adapt and grow stronger. It's more pronounced when we come back from near death, but it helps a lot with training as well."

"So you're just a bunch of filthy cheaters then?" the old man grinned before shaking his head, "...So now what? Compared to what you were like when you first turned up here looking to learn some moves, you're much calmer, got your head on much straighter."

I sighed, shrugging my shoulders, "I've come to terms with everything, but honestly, there's still so much I can do from here on to get stronger," At the very least, I don't have to be here on this planet for now, I can head somewhere else if I really want, and I remembered over the past month that the Namekian dragon balls actually recharge every six months instead of every year, so that is a thing, "I'm leaving Ichiji and Niji here though, just in case I get held up at all, they'll be big helps defending the planet and you can teach them better than I ever could." I continued, nodding at the two recovering Saibamen,

If I head to Namek before any of the hassle begins, I can take care of a few things. It might overall be a bit of a loss in power for me going early, but there is one thing I can wish for that will make my future transformations, especially Super Saiyan Three so much easier to use.

Roshi groaned, "Ughhh, why?" he whined, putting his magazine down to glare at me, "I already have the damn pig ruining my chances with the ladies, now you're gonna stick me with the cabbage heads?"

"I don't see what you;re complaining about, isn't Launch always staying here?" I smirked again, "She's like one of the hottest girls you'll ever see, and it's not like the bullets blondie fires at you will actually hurt you."

Roshi huffed, tossing down his magazine and pouting, "Nope, blondie ran off to try and get hitched with Tien," he tilted his sunglasses down just to show me how he rolled his eyes, "We saw how well that worked out huh? I can sense him up on the Lookout, but not a wif of her."

I blinked. Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that. Launch just disappeared during the play up to the Saiyan Saga didn't she? I only ever saw her again for a brief moment in the Buu Saga I think.

That's definitely something I'll need to look into.

"Either way, I might be going off planet for a bit, so just keep those two training okay?" I said, nodding my head towards the pair again, "As long as they learn some more from you and keep training together, they should be strong enough to hold off the saiyans that are coming themselves and keep everyone safe."

"Fine fine you little brat," Roshi waved me off, "But I better get to see some boob out of this! I thought I was done training idiots when those five idiots flew the coop."

"I'll get you some nice porn as a thank you." I laughed, before bidding him goodbye and taking off into the air.

First things first, I'll need to grab my scouter from Bulma before I decide what to do. Hopefully she's done with what I asked of her already.

I tested out my new max speed as I flew towards Capsule Corp once again, and I couldn't help but marvel at the sheer difference in speed. I could run rings around the me from last month with ease!

And all too soon, in mere minutes, I found myself floating above the massive, yellow dome shaped mansion belonging to the Briefs family. And as weak as she was, it wasn't hard to pinpoint Bulma's familiar ki. Goku, the fool had been around her so much that my senses instinctually took note of her.

Surprisingly, she was on the same balcony she was last time.

I found her leaning over the railing over the balcony, puffing on a cigarette staring off upwards into the horizon.

"Those things will kill you, ya know?" I pointed out cheekily as I landed behind her.

The buxom blunette yelped, dropping her cigarette and turning towards me wide eyed.

As soon as she saw me, the wide eyed look turned into a scowl. "Kakarot you little brat!" she growled, "I oughta bash you one!" she threatened, winding her fist up.

"You'd only end up hurting yourself, remember what happened when you shot the original?" I taunted with a small chuckle.

The blue haired woman scowled at the reminder before slumping back against the railing and sighing. "Here looking for your scouter and ship I take it?" she asked, a bit morosely if I do say so myself.

"Mostly i just want to check how strong I've gotten at the moment, I've got something else I want to work on before trying to get even stronger," I shrugged back. On the way over, I decided now was probably the best time to get control over my Oozaru form before I got to the point where in that form a stray blast could destroy the planet, "Still, what's up Bulma? You seem down?"

It would take a powerful charged blast aimed at the core even at ten times the power I am currently to destroy a planet, I think at least. And an incoherently raging Oozaru shouldn't have the intelligence to compress ki, merely instinctually fire it.

Bulma let loose a sigh, reaching down into her shorts pocket and pulling out my scouter before tossing it over to me, "Here, it's got what you asked for, don't be too rough on it though, it's hard to find anything that can stand up to the strength of you monsters." she told me.

I caught it and slipped it on. With a few clicks it beeped on, and I saw a few more options that I could head into. A music folder, video folder, one labelled internet and more. For now though, hit the scan button and flared my power level to the max for a brief moment.

Beep Beep - 4,128

A massive grin spread across my face. I'd already broken four thousand. ant-like in comparison to the power those around here will have in just a few short years, but for now, it makes me stronger than Nappa.

Possibly. It was never very clear whether four thousand was Nappa's full power and the sixty five hundred was just his full powered ki blast. After all, Nappa never knew how to raise or sense power levels. Regardless, even if his power at max is the latter, with the Ultra Form, I'll be able to hit over six thousand right now, and I've still got at least eight or nine months before the badly and midget prince duo arrive.

"What's it at?" Bulma asked seeing my smile.

"4,128," I answered gleefully and her eyes went wide.

"Holy shit, that's almost a three times increase in the last month, what the heck have you been up to?" The bluenette gaped at me.

I waggled my finger at her, turning the scouter off, "Nuh uh," I denied answering her, besides it wasn't like I was doing all that much, I was just using the multi-form constantly and sparring with myself and the Saibamen brothers while wearing my weights, "How about telling me what's got you so down first?" I raised a brow at her.

Seeing I wasn't going to drop it, Bulma sighed, "You know, Goku was way easier to fool and wasn't much for bothering others about their feelings." she replied.

I almost scowled in disgust, "Please don't compare me to that fool," I returned, it was revolting to be compared so such an idiot, after all, if I was him, I would have went after this girl here if I was going to marry anyone, Chi-Chi just couldn't compare to what Bulma offers on top of her beauty, "I'm far superior to him. Both in power and paying attention to the people that actually matter and considering you were his - our first friend, that says a lot don't you think?"

So the month with Roshi wasn't enough to get over my resentment of the original and being a clone who was only given life because some idiots wanted to use me as a stand in shield until he got strong enough to protect them and got wished back, sue me.

But this isn't really about me. It's about Bulma, who got perhaps the shittest hand dealt besides Yamcha right up until the end of Z, or worse, depending on the timeline. Bulma is important, so much is accomplished down the line just because of her genius and dedication. She's a normal woman, caught up in between what may as well be gods in comparison. And, what's her reward? Ignored until she's needed for something, hitched up with fucking Vegeta who doesn't give a shit about her until he blows himself up against Buu. Admittedly, depending on what route is canon and what isn't, Vegeta becomes a good husband to her in both Super and GT, but that's a long ways away. And in the original timeline, she's forced to sit on the sidelines while all her friends are killed, a kid she watched grow up is beaten to all hell for years on end before dying and her son is the last line of defence against the androids or cyborgs, or whatever the hell people call them. And hell, in one of the branching timelines Cell kills hims too and eaves that future Bulma left all alone.

Really man, maybe it's my pride as a saiyan, but having such a useful ally and my first friend being basically stepped on like that constantly, pisses me the hell off.

Bulma sighed, leaning against the railing of the veranda we were in, "...It's just, everything going on y'know?" she replied to my question about what was bugging her, "Things haven't been great with Yamcha for a while, he's always getting caught up with those fangirls of his now he's a baseball star, and beyond that call to tell me about you, he, nor anybody else actually have contacted me since. And everyone's totally leaving me out now just because I'm not some muscle head!"

Huh. Well, that was something I didn't know about. Seriously, he had to have a phone or something with him if he contacted her about me. It's been nearly a month and a half since I woke up here, and he would have probably called her on the first day I appeared. Quite a while to ignore your girlfriend for now wasn't it?

"Yamcha's never been the most well thought out guy," I shrugged, "If you called him up and told him about the problems between you both, he'd probably try and put in more effort."

Bulma scowled crossing her arms under her prodigious bust, "I got on at him all the time about the fangirls he loves to dote on, but he never changes about them," she spat, before shaking her head, "Besides, I shouldn't have to tell him these things. We've been in a relationship for years, but it's always felt like I'm the only one trying to make it work."

Well, I had to give it to her there. "Then dump him, it's not like Yamcha's the only one you could ever get with," I replied easily, I'm so not one for relationship drama bullshit, if someone is wasting your time, then why bother with them? If they don't care enough to put in some work themselves, they're not worth it, "You're rich, hot and probably in the top five smartest people on this entire planet."

Bulma bit her lip at my words, but nodded hesitantly in agreement, "...That is true," she murmured, before her gaze sharpened and she looked at me weirdly, "Wait, did you just call me hot Kakarot? I thought you guys like knew nothing about sex, hell, even when I asked Goku about how he and Chi-Chi did it to make Gohan, he didn't even get what I was talking about."

I scowled at the reminder of that dunce. Disregarding the memories I received from that other man, as Kakarot, I had gained full functioning knowledge of sexual reproduction while within the gestation pod. Honestly, I cannot understand how that dunce never learned about sex early on considering how pervy grandpa was, not to mention Master Roshi.

"Didn't I tell you not to compare me to that idiot?" I crossed my arms.

Despite my tone though, Bulma just smiled widely, "Well, so since you're basically the same as him, just much smarter, that means even Goku was never immune to my looks huh?" the busty bluenette giggled before giving me a sly wink, "I wonder how travelling with him would have went if he was like you and never lost his memories."

I rolled my eyes, but allowed a smirk to grow on my own face, "I can't speak for him," I shrugged, "But, if it was me personally, you wouldn't have had to worry about that boyfriend crap you were so obsessed with back then."

Bulma blinked at my words before going wide eyed, a slight flush spreading across her face, "Wait….seriously!?" she goggled at me.

"Seriously, serious," I replied shamelessly, "Like I said before, you're rich, smart as hell and as hotter than the surface of the sun. And you are, or rather were Goku's closest friend besides Krillin, though personally, I personally prefer you more. If I was going after a girl, it would be you I went for before anyone else."

Bulma continued to stare at me wide eyed for a few moments, her cheeks getting progressively darker before she squealed lightly and slapped her cheeks, "Ah! I've got no idea how to react to that!" she shook her head and growled at me, "Why'd you have to go and say that you brat! Now I won't be able to stop thinking about it."

"Heh," my smirk grew, "Fine with me. But how can you expect anything else? You should remember how many times I've seen you naked."

Quite a few memories came to mind. From the original taking off her panties, to walking in on her in the shower, various things like that. The main one my mind focused on right now though, was when we were dealing with General Blue and getting an up close view of her in nothing but her red tube top and thong wiggling her big, round ass around.

It had made even the original feel all tingly inside, though he hadn't realised what that feeling was. Goku might not have ever understood it, but Bulma was right in deducing that even he had been attracted to her back then.

"Oh you little perv!" she snapped out of her embarrassment quickly. Bulma shook her head and pressed a hand to her forehead, "This is a lot to take in y'know? And there I thought I didn't need worry about being embarrassed about any of that because Goku didn't understand it at all."

"Trust me, you've got nothing to be embarrassed about." I replied, giving her a blatant once over with my eyes, making sure she saw them lingering on her abundant cleavage.

Bulma rolled her eyes, but didn't shy away at all, didn't block my view in anyway and didn't even reprimand me, "Out of curiosity, do you still have that bunny outfit you got from Oolong?" I asked. I always loved that outfit on her.

"Oh man, you really are a perv aren't you? Here I was just calling you one for a joke," Bulma groused, shaking her head, "And I do actually, it's in the back of my closet." she answered, nonetheless.

"Good to know for future reference." I nodded, very, very pleased.

She arched a brow, "Oh, and why is that?" she raised an eyebrow at me. "You think I'll wear it for you?"

"Hopefully," I replied shamelessly again, beating around the bush is not in my nature, if I want something, I'll go for it, "You're relationship with Yamcha looks to be dying. You might be able to fix it, but if I'm being honest, I hope it fails so I can go for you myself."

Despite the situation, Bulma snorted out a little laugh, before outright chuckling, "Y'know, as flattering as that is Kakarot," she began, "Even if I do break up with Yamcha, I'm twenty-eight years old, and you're what? About fifteen at most memory wise."

Good points in all honesty. "Irrelevant, despite Goku growing up here on Earth, we are not humans, I'm a saiyan," I replied, besides I have the memories of a full grown man as well, "We're a warrior race, age means nothing to us when it comes to relationships. We go for the best partner, and here on Earth, you're top of the pyramid." technically Eighteen is still around, but what Eighteen provides in strength, Bulma more than makes up for with her genius, her intellect and abilities as a scientist are massive type of strength themselves. Besides, it's not like Eighteen can pass on her abilities to offspring.

"Well, nothing I can say to that at least." she shrugged, though there was a certain coyness to her tone, and a little proud smile on her face, "How about we table this discussion for now and get to what you came here for?"

Yeah, I already had the scouter, now, I needed to see about my space pod and the gravity chamber. "Fine with me, I'm polite enough at least to not try and make you my woman while you're already with another." I replied. Something about being a saiyan made things like this seem so simple and not worth beating around the bush.

"Sure, why not, let's go with that," Bulma laughed lightly, "But, as far as the real reason you're here for is going, the gravity chamber you wanted isn't quite done yet."

Putting aside the situation with Bulma, I frowned, "Ah, too bad," I replied, it had only been a month after all, I wasn't sure how quickly they were made in your memories of the future, so I couldn't even guess a rough estimation of how long it would take.

Bulma quickly raised her hands, "No need to looked so disappointed, jeez you look like somebody just told you your puppy was ran over," she said, "It's not far off, and if it was just the gravity chamber, it would be done already, but I've had a feeling you'll be going off planet, so me and my dad have been using your space pod to create an all new, much larger ship, and it will have the gravity chamber within it."

Excitement filled me then. I thought I would need to just use my space pod and sleep on the journey to Namek, but with this, I can actually train while I go, just like the original did when he went off to Namek. A massive grin spread across my face, "That's amazing Bulma!" I gushed, and unable to contain my excitement I bound over to her and swept the taller woman up into a great big hug, lifting her up into the air.

"Oi oi! Watch the hands you little perv!" Bulma banged on my shoulders, and that was when I realised, my hands were sinking into something large, round and delightfully jiggly and soft.

I let go of her lovely ass and set her down, "Sorry, my hands slipped." I apologized, it was actually all instinct after all!

Bulma snorted, narrowing her eyes at me and reaching down to clasp her ass in both hands, "Suure they did," she drawled sarcastically, before she reached out and bonked me atop the head, "Like hell I'd believe that after what you just came out with a minute ago! Especially after you just spent a month with that perverted turtle hermit!"

And Chapter five.

Anyway, again, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
