"Tien shouldn't we do something?" Chiaotzu asked, worry colouring his voice as he sat beside his best friend atop the lookout.
"There's nothing we can do pal, he's already went ahead and done it." Tien shook his head, and while his tone and words were gentle, there was an angry scowl across his lips. Down below, he could feel the fluctuating ki of his close friend as it flickered weakly.
That fool.
"Dude's a moron," Yajirobe snorted, swallowing a stick of meat whole, bone and all, "You couldn't pay me to touch that stuff. I watched Goku scream in agony for six hours when he tried it, and by the looks of it that clone of his went at it for like a full day man."
"Well at least he hasn't died before so he can still get wished back with Goku when the time comes if he doesn't manage it," Krillin pointed out 'optimistically', "Still..why do you think he went and did it?"
"Jealousy?" Tien shrugged, "We all felt it. The gap between us and Kakarot is insane. I mean, he was already more than ten times my strength from what I could sense from him training down below, but his power practically quadrupled when he went to Korin's."
Tien had to wonder. Was the only reason he could even slightly keep up with Goku, because he had forgotten all about his heritage as a saiyan? Kakarot made Raditz, and the two saiyans they were constantly fighting for training look weak even before he went to Korin's yesterday. Was the knowledge of his saiyan heritage and the training he received on this planet something that put him beyond saiyan or earthling?
"Well I get that," Krillin nodded, leaning back on his hands to stare up at the sky wistfully, "Kinda tempted to grab it myself and have a go."
"Agreed, but going for it right now is foolish," Tien said flatly, "If we take into account the boost Goku got and the boost Kakarot got, it seems more likely that the stronger you are the more you can get from it, besides, we also have to take into account our training. If we take it now, and die, there's no way we'll be ready for the saiyans on time even if we get revived alongside Goku."
"Well, there's also the fact that me and you have already died once Krillin," Chiaotzu pointed out, "If we die again Shenron can't bring us back."
"Yup," Krillin nodded in agreement, "Total bummer."
"Still stupid of him to get all gung-ho and go for it without thinking it through though," Tien sighed, before smiling wryly, "Though, I guess this is totally something you'd expect out of Yamch-" his words choked in his throat as a sudden, massive power appeared out of nowhere on the lookout, pressing down on them all like gravity itself.
"W-what the hell!" Krillin yelped, shooting to his feet, "Is that Kakarot? What insane power!"
"It's mind boggling!" Tien gasped in agreement, feeling his hands shake, "I've never felt anything like it in my life!"
Kakarot had disappeared from their senses when they came back from the Pendulum Room, and according to Mr. Popo, he'd entered a place called the Room Of Spirit And Time, that they apparently were not ready for.
Two hours or so had apparently passed now since he went in, but now just those mere two hours later, his power felt like it shot up even higher, way higher! Easily four or five times greater than his previous power from drinking the Ultra Divine Water.
It was absurd! Where yesterday Kakarot was easily ten times Tien's current strength, now, he was easily a hundred times more powerful than him!
The sound light footsteps echoed out from Kami's home, yet they felt like claps of thunder and the air practically vibrated with Kakarot's absurdly powerful ki.
Moments later, Kakarot stepped out of the building, and he was...different than the Kakarot he remembered from a month ago. He was a few inches taller somehow, his skin which had been pale like Goku's was now tanned, and his musculature had bulked up quite considerably.
His clothing, the weighted cloth conjured by Kami was ripped to pieces, and hanging across his frame in rags, and his hair looked like it had been sheared at the back, so now fell forward instead of straight up like Goku's.
Silence spread across the lookout, nobody made a sound. Tien felt like there was massive lump as he stared at the young teenage clone of one of his closest friends and his greatest rival, and couldn't ignore the way his presence pressed down on him like the ocean itself was trying to submerge and drown him.
Kakarot...he truly was an insane existence. Tien had to wonder, where they even needed at this point? Raditz had claimed that the strongest of the two saiyans coming was ten times as powerful as him. Kakarot had to be more than thirty times as powerful as Raditz was now, at least.
The gap just kept widening. It felt like he was just being swept along in the wake of Kakarot now. His only solace was the fact that he probably wasn't the only one and that even Goku himself would be having trouble keeping up with the insane growth of his clone.
I looked over them all. Gathered in front of me on the lookout. Tien, Krillin, Chiaotzu and Yajirobe. They all stared at me wide eyed, in various states of widened eyed shock.
It was hard not to allow the smirk I wanted to let spread across my face show. My time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was fucking hellish. The deeper I got within the white void, the more the terrain shifted at random intervals. From random fire storms, to thundering lightning storms. Glacial freezing temperatures and spikes of intense gravity that crushed me into the ground. Not to mention the fucking clones, using any chance they could to goof of and relax while I was getting boiled, frozen and crushed.
It took me thirty five days to finally learn how to control my Oozaru form, but I can't say it wasn't worth it in the end.
56,356.
Fifty six thousand, three hundred and fifty six. That was what my battle power measured at when I measured myself just a few minutes ago upon leaving the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. It may not be the highest out there, but now in my Oozaru form, the only ones capable of taking me on will be the likes of Frieza. And I'm only beginning on my path to getting stronger. Once I get to Planet Namek, I'll be able to grow even more massively. If my plans pan out, within the next month, I should be well capable of dealing with Frieza himself.
I may not be a freak like Broly, Gohan or Frieza himself. But, the knowledge I inherited of this universe, might just be even better than those freakish insane talents.
"K-Kakarot...how?" Tien finally stuttered out after a good twenty seconds of pure shocked silence and gobsmacked staring.
Looks like he's curious how I got so strong already, "I told you before, the more intense the training we go through, the more we saiyans adapt and grow stronger," I replied, "The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is intense as hell, the environment got so bad I was lucky to stay alive half the time, but it made for an amazing place to train. You should try it out yourself when you're strong enough."
Tien grimaced, "At the rate I'm going, it'll years before I get as strong as you were when you went in there." he replied, the bald warrior slumping in what almost looked like defeat.
..It honestly looked wrong on Tien. Has my insane growth this early fucked over his morale?
That's not good. For all that the humans had a tough time keeping up, their own power was nothing to scoff at in the end and they raised the mortal level massively. Which is a very big thing that I need to stay on top of. Universe 7 is one of the weakest universes as far as mortal levels goes. With the saiyans gone, and many other species wiped out due to the Planet Trade Organization, or rather the Frieza Force, the mortal level was at an all time low with only a few outliers like those gathered on this planet, Frieza and such.
They need to be strong enough to help raise the overall mortal level. And in the worst case scenario, be strong enough to help me win a Tournament of Power.
Thankfully, one of my planned wishes for Porunga will go a long way to making sure this universe is far ahead of the canon Universe 7. But for it to be maximized, I'll have to make sure their motivation is still alive and strong.
"Understandable, you don't have quite the same advantages as I do," I nodded, crossing my arms. Then I let my smirk blossom as his face fell slightly, "But, that isn't to say you guys don't have advantages of your own."
"We do?" Krillin blinked in confusion.
"Yeah, I've noticed so far that humans have much more innate talent when it comes to controlling ki compared to we saiyans," I replied. I'm not actually sure if that's true, it's just something that appeared in Xenoverse, "So..you'll have an easier time controlling techniques like this!" I continued with a grunt, and flared my ki into my muscles, compressing it tightly into my form and allowing my muscles and form to bulk up considerably.
Beep, beep. My scouter was set to passive and with a new growth in battle power, automatically scanned me.
84,534.
"Holy shit you can get even stronger!?" Yajirobe yelped.
"H-hey, isn't that Master Roshi's technique!?" Krillin asked, mouth going agape once more in shock.
"It is," I smirked at him, "I've got six days left before I can do what I want, so I guess for those six days I'll teach you guys how to do this and kick you into shape properly."
"..Oh no..." Yajirobe whimpered.
Yeah, no slacking off for you fatty boy.
"Wait, how do you know we have better ki control?" Chiaotzu asked, tilting his head in question as he floated up into the air to look me in the eye.
"Because I can compare my own abilities, and Goku's, and other saiyans with yours," I bullshitted, "You all have a lot easier of a time when it comes to controlling ki from what I've observed, especially Krillin." That was something that was actually canonical that Piccolo brought up at the end of Dragon Ball, Krillin's innate skill when it came to ki manipulation.
"Hehe!" Krillin thumbed his nonexistence nose and beamed in pride.
"...Alright, I'm game I guess.." Tien shook his head and replied.
"Then it's about time I teach you guys the pecking order." I laughed. It wasn't like I wasn't going to get anything out of this either. There was something I wanted to check, and something I wanted to learn from Tien while I was here. So this worked out well for me.
Six days later, a smirk was on my face.
1047.
"Rah!" Tien roared, four arms lashing out in speeds far surpassing that of bullets and coming at me in a barrage of perfectly coordinated blows.
Not bad, not bad at all. He's already more than half as strong right now as he was in canon when Nappa and Vegeta arrived.
In a blur, with my index finger I parried every single blow in all the time it took to blink, before poking him in the chest and sending him flying back dozens of feet.
He slammed onto the white tiled flooring hard, cratering it and sending debris flying. But the two arms over his shoulders slammed into the ground behind him and he used the to throw himself back up and then all four arms pointed their own index fingers at me, glowing with yellow power.
"Dodon Ray!" he shouted.
Four blisteringly fast finely compressed beams of power lanced out through the air towards me.
I smirked, and copied him. I compressed ki around my upper shoulder blades, and two arms formed into existence and I thrust all four of my hands out, firing a barrage of Kiai waves, shockwaves of pure ki through the air in a layered barrage.
The quad of bright yellow beams splashed harmlessly against the barrage of shockwaves and Tien only had time to throw all four arms up in a guard to bloc against them a moment later as they slammed into him and ploughed him hard into the ground.
Groaning and bruised all over, Tien's muscles began to shrink and the two extra arms faded away. as he lay there limp on the ground.
"Not bad," I praised him, slowly making my way over to his collapsed form. i passed through the collapsed and unconscious forms of Yamcha, Krillin, Chiaotzu and Yajirobe, "You lasted way longer than the others."
"..Y-yamcha's still stronger than me." Tien coughed.
Very true. Yamcha simply had a decent little lead on everyone else thanks to him somehow miraculously surviving the Ultra Divine Water and gaining a literal one hundred percent boost in his power. He was simply stronger at the base right now, and the stronger the base was, the stronger the boost with a multiplying boost like the Ultra Form.
But, with the Four Witches Technique, Tien gained a little extra boost and was only a measly fifteen points behind Yamcha in power. I'd made Tien use the technique extensively over the past six days and made sure to get him to teach me it. The small power multiplier it gave was nice on its own, but two extra arms made it just an amazing technique to use.
And in the process of training with these five and learning the technique, I also confirmed my suspicions. In the six days they'd trained and sparred with and against me, they had all gained a bit around double the power increase they'd gained through the month and a week they'd been training with Kami and Popo.
It seemed, that the stronger the person you trained with, the more growth you could expect to see. That even reflected on me, because the daily increase I had gotten in my usual training, seemed to have become a third of its average because I was training with people so much weaker than me.
"I s-suppose you're gonna go on your way now, huh?" Tien spluttered a question at me, breaking me from my thoughts, "Y-you did say you would be leaving after you sparred with us."
I crouched down and helped him into a sitting position, letting him hack out some of his pain and calm his breathing, "More or less," I replied, "I want to get to Planet Namek as soon as possible."
"...Man this Frieza guy must be something really terrifying if you with your insane power are so scared of him." Tien smirked at me weakly.
While I still found it awkward being around these guys, I'd gotten a bit more comfortable with their company, and the same went for them in return in regards to mine. Krillin had struck up conversation with me, and asked why I could only train them for six days, considering how fast they were growing.
The average increase they had gained daily after all, training with me was twenty five. And it increased slightly more the stronger they became. But even going by that average twenty five, with eight and a half months left until the saiyans arrived, all of them would gain an increase of 6357 in battle power at the minimum by time Vegeta and Nappa arrived.
That meant every single one of them would be stronger than Nappa, nearly as strong as canon Goku was. and honestly, by my estimates, if I did actively train them, they would all break ten thousand easily in height and a half months. And then with the Ultra Form that I had made sure all of them were capable of using in these past six days, teaming up they would very much be capable of dealing with Vegeta themselves.
I didn't want to cut ties with them or get accused of being stingy. So I revealed to them that Piccolo and Kami were Namekians, and that there may be another set of dragon balls on their home planet. And about Frieza, who even in first and weakest form, was vastly stronger than the current me outside of the Oozaru form.
My battle power with the Ultra Form and the Four Witches Technique, with the slight increase I'd gained from training with them the past six days, was 103,469. roughly a fifth as strong as Frieza was in his weakest form.
"Frieza is stronger than you can imagine right now mate," I shook my head, "But I've got plans to deal with him."
"Something you need the dragon balls for," Tien noted, "..So what are you still hanging around here for?"
"For a simple little thing I need your help with." I smirked at him. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a very familiar small green bean and showed it to him.
Tien's eyes dulled and he gave me a deadpan look, "..You want me to blast a hole in you...again?" he asked drily, "..Are you sure you ain't a masochist Kakarot?"
"I'm not," I denied flatly, "I'm just really lazy and unlike the original will happily abuse the knowledge I have to get shortcuts."
"..Well no denying it, you really are a lot more sly than Goku has been." the bald three eyed man snorted.
Damn fucking right.
I helped him to his feet, gave him the bean and then lowered my power enough for him to blast a massive beam of yellow energy right through my stomach, coming out the other end and destroying my organs.
The things I do for power.
Half an hour later, with a whistle on my lips and a great big smile splitting my face, I sped through the air like a missile of crimson red power.
Kami was quite put out with me that I once again needed him to conjure me a new and heavier weighted outfit, but I couldn't care less right now. you know why?
86,224.
That was my power level after I recovered from the hole Tien blasted in my stomach and gave me that senzu bean I'd been holding on to. It might have been silly to use it this early. But, I won't really be needing them later down the line if my plans work out properly. And while the Namekians are peaceful, I won't trust a stranger to blow a hole through my stomach and then help heal me.
Either way, right now, I'm just a little bit weaker than Goku was come the Ginyu Saga. At least without taking Kaioken into account.
A little bit later, I touched down in front of Capsule Corp, letting my aura disperse from around myself and began walking up the path to the front door of the giant ass spherical home.
As I did, I noticed a familiar lady out watering the plants out front. A tall, voluptuous leggy blonde in tight jeans and a tube top that showed off her curves really well. It was easy to see where Bulma got her killier body from.
"Well hello Goku," Panchy Briefs, Bulma's mother greeted me with a bright smile, "Why aren't you as youthful as ever."
I floundered for a moment, "Err...My name's Kakarot..I'm Goku's...brother." I replied. Usually I'd probably get pissed off at someone mistaking me for him, even after I cut my hair and let my skin get cooked until I was tanned, but well getting pissed off at Panchy for something like that when she hasn't ever met me, nor seen Goku in years since he actually was about my height, would be like getting pissed off at a happy, cuddly little dog.
"Oh, dearie me, my mistake," Panchy giggled, "It's nice to meet you Kakarot. I assume you're here for my dear little Bulma?"
"That's right..yeah." I nodded.
"Well she's in her room darling, packing from what she told me," the blonde woman told me, "It seems she's going on an adventure again. I'm so excited for her, it's been so long since she went out to have fun like she used to."
I raised an eyebrow. Packing, huh? Was she planning on coming with me then? Well, I would happily bring her along with me. With her there, not only could I focus on training in the gravity chamber and let her handle the steering, I can also spend some alone time with her. Just me and her, in the deep, dark expanse of space.
"Thanks Mrs Brief." I thanked her, and made my way inside. She didn't even question if I knew how to get to Bulma's room or not, just waved me inside with a little giggle.
The play was absolutely massive. There were company buildings smaller than Bulma's house. But it was easy to find her with my ki sensing, and it wasn't hard to reach her room.
When I reached it, I was just about to knock on the door, when I heard Bulma's voice calling out, "Come on in Kakarot!"
I blinked. How the hell did she know I was here?
Doing what she said though, I opened the door and made my way inside. The room was really large. Filled with closets, a large table with four chairs around it on one side of the room, with a huge ass bed with a pink quilt on the other, and at the end of her room was a gigantic television, easily one hundred and fifty inches hanging on the wall. Bulma was sitting at the table on one of the chairs, and to my surprise...she had a scouter hanging over one of her eyes, a pink one.
"Heya!" she waved cheekily at me when my eyes settled on the scouter. To my further surprise. She was wearing a very familiar outfit. Sadly not the playboy bunny outfit, but a yellow zip up vest jacket, tight black spandex rights and stylish hiking boots.
The outfit she wore going to Namek in the canon series.
"You like it?" she pointed to the pink scouter, "With all the upgrades you wanted me to do to yours I realised how handy these things are. Even a much lesser one will be worth a fortune on the market, and I was even able to link up a bunch of appliances and stuff to it. I can control your spaceship with this." she was practically preening as she finished explaining it to me.
"Impressive." I nodded in agreement. It really was, and it explained how she new I was outside her room, she must have locked onto my battle power with it.
"Sheesh Kakarot what did you do to yourself?" She asked a moment later, the blue haired beauty looking at me in bemusement, "You're like twenty times stronger than you were last week when you left off."
"The question is, what didn't I do to myself? I really thought I was gonna die a few times there." I responded. Seriously, ever had your organs vaporised? It ain't fun at all. Between the pain from enduring the Ultra Divine Water, the hellish conditions of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and having Tien vaporise my organs and blow my stomach apart for a zenkai using a senzu bean, I really am just about fucking done with this quest for power. But sadly, this is a retarded shounen universe where there is a very real threat of not only being killed, but my soul ceasing to exist when the Omni King yeets this universe out of existence.
"You're an idiot." Bulma snorted.
"That I am," I nodded in agreement. Sadly, apparently only idiots could save the universe. "So what's with the outfit? And your mother said you were packing for an adventure?"
"Well I'm coming with you to Namek obviously. I'm sick of being left out while all you meatheads train together and go on all the adventures now," she replied, before arching a brow at me, "Why, you got a problem with me coming?"
"Nope," I shrugged, "I already told you didn't I? I like you best out of everybody else. And I'm not gonna complain about the eye candy on your level."
"...You're such a little perv Kakarot." she shook her head, but despite her words, there was a smile on her lips, and her chest puffed out a bit in obvious pride. Bulma for all her good points, was a vain girl after all.
I shrugged, "Hey, I made my thoughts on you clear last week didn't I?" I smirked at her, "If you wanna hang around me even after hearing about it, that's on you."
"Well it cant be helped that a little perv like you is into a gorgeous babe like me," she replied, smugly. "It's basically just nature. Though keep in mind I did only break up with Yamcha a week ago."
"..And?" I raised an eyebrow at her, "A day, a week, a year or a minute. Doesn't matter, you've broke up with him and you're single now."
Bulma slumped dramatically into her chair, resting a hand over her eyes, "Geez, it can be a curse sometimes to be as amazing and beautiful as I am," she 'lamented'. She shook her head, and giggled as she stood up and made her way over to me, a coy smile on her lips. When she reached me, she lifted a hand up and trailed a small index finger down the side of my cheek, I held back the shiver that the tingling sensation almost brought out in me, "Alright Kakarot, if you really want to try, I don't mind giving you a trial run."
"As..?" I questioned, staring at her challengingly.
"As my boyfriend obviously, don't play dumb, you're about the same age I was when I set out that first time to wish for the perfect boyfrend, so it'd make me a real hypocrite to blow you back for that," she chided me with a roll of her eyes, "You know me. I'm not the type to dance around this subject, just don't go getting cold feet on me now because you're an inexperienced teenager now." she leaned down, and to my surprise, captured my lips with her own.
I was actually kind of shocked she went for it. But not so shocked I didn't respond. When she went to probe my lips with her tongue, I let my own shoot out and wrestle her tongue back into her own mouth.
Bulma moaned in surprise into my mouth, and then moaned even further when I reached around her waist to sink my hands into her large, doughy ass cheeks covered only in spandex and lifted her into the air.
I squeezed and groped her lovely bouncy ass and carried her over to the bed where I sat down with her in my lap. One of her arms wrapped around my neck, while the other fisted itself in my hair and her legs wrapped around my waist as she began to grind down into me.
I couldn't stop the smug smirk I had even while kissing. After all, it wasn't just meta knowledge of this universe I had inherited upon my birth. I ground myself up into her, meeting her halfway.
We stayed like that for a good five minutes, her trying to wrestle my tongue back, but failing utterly, even as we dry humped the shit out of each other. It was only when one of my hands trailed up from her lovely ass to the zipper on her bubbly vest jacket that she broke off. A long trail of saliva connected her mouths together, even as she pulled a good ten inches or so back from from my mouth, her eyes were half lidded and her face flushed, lips bruised, "Wow...well you definitely have kissing down, that's for sure." she hummed throatily.
"So I pass then?" I smirked.
"On this, definitely," Bulma smirked right back, she leaned forward and pressed another quick kiss to my lips before pulling back and grinding herself into my crotch one last time, "Definitely better than Yamcha...in more ways than one." Her smirk turned saucy as her half lidded eyes cast a quick look down to where our bodies were pressed against each other.
I couldn't help but smirk even wider. Sorry Yamcha, but this woman is all mine now, "So.." I began as another thought came to mind, giving her ass a good squeeze with the hand still holding it, drawing a little squealing moan of surprise from her, "What are my odds of getting you into that bunny outfit?"I asked cheekily.
She snorted, that snort turning into an amused giggle, "You really like me in that outfit huh?" she asked rhetorically.
"I like you in practically anything, you'd look amazing in burlap sack. But I did like you in that best," I replied, "Besides, you wore it around the pig, I think it's fair for your boyfriend, trial or not to get to see you in it." I pointed out.
"Hmm." Bulma hummed as she stared me in the eye, before smirking, "Well, guess you'll be happy to know I stuffed it in my clothing bag to bring with me when I remembered how much you liked it last week."
She rose her hand and pinched my nose and wiggled it teasingly, "I suppose I might wear it for you, if you impress me enough," she teased with a wiggle of her lovely blue eyebrows before hopping out of my lap and beckoning me to follow her, "Now c'mon, I already have all my stuff packed, and I assume you have all you need. Let's get a move on, it's been ages since I've been to space, this'll be great." she made her way out of her room, swaying and wiggling that lovely spandex clad ass of hers all the way out.
"...Well that was something," I mused with a laugh. Unexpected as all hell, but not at all unwanted. "She's a such a damn cock tease though." I snorted, looking down at my crotch and the spear like tent rising up through my baggy gi pants into the air.
I sighed.
And Chapter seven.
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.
