With the defeat of Buu, now trapped and having its energy stolen and instead sending out Good Ki to fill the universe with more positive energy. The Supreme Kais' world healing quickly as it absorbs the stolen energy, which the Kais all are overjoyed with that fact. Daikaioh called for them to have to replace the missing Northern Supreme Kai and Western Supreme Kai. Eastern Supreme Kai informs that unfortunately, with his inexperience in running things, that the Core world's tree had never produced a fruit with the Supreme Kai's luster. No new Supreme Kai ever was brought forth because of this. Daikaioh, a little disappointed, says they may have to choose from the lesser Kais than. The Grand Supreme Kai put in Northern Kai as a candidate as his technique helped save the universe. The three Supreme Kais began to discuss this, and eight months following something strange happened. Northern Supreme Kai and Western supreme Kai returned! Gohan, remembering the story that Shin had told them, had gathered the dragon balls and wished for all the Supreme Kais that were killed and not absorbed by Buu to be brought back to life.
Due to this selfless act, Gohan was asked once more to return to Supreme Kai world to received training from the five highest beings. Gohan refuses though, saying he has school work and needs to help protect the earth. This amuses Daikaioh and Northern Supreme Kai immensely, confused Eastern and Western Supreme Kai, and annoys Southern Supreme Kai that a mortal would deny such an offer. Daikaioh tells Gohan that the offer shall stand, and that he simply will need to call for their names to receive training. They then provide their names to Gohan, Daikaioh advises that his name is simply Dai, Western Supreme Kai provides her name as Nishi, Eastern Supreme Kai gladly introduces himself as Higashi (Shin being a name based off his title), Northern Supreme Kai expressed his wish to help him with his swordsmanship and provided his name was Kita, Southern Supreme Kai was sour but still informed his name was Minami. With the five names, Gohan is thanked again, and the Hybrid said if they can at least wait a few years. Once he was out of high school, he would be happy to join them for training. He does make a caveat though, as he cannot stay to long as he has a girlfriend now.
-Gohan-
Speaking of girlfriend, we will back track a bit now. Buu recent defeat left everyone completely out of energy. But with the events finally over, Videl asks Gohan out. She comments that she never dated a 'super hero' before, Mr. Satan arguing that she is only able to date someone that can beat him. Gohan looked to the human and smiled, and agreed to the term. Videl a little worried for her father, but Gohan went easy on Mr. Satan. The human's unlocked potential shown to be a decent increase, but in the end Gohan bested Mr. Satan. With that, he officially gives the okay to date his daughter… but explains if he hurts her, he will make him pay dearly. Gohan agrees to the terms.
In the following weeks, Gohan and his friends meet. Sharpner apologizing again and again for how he acted, but Gohan simply explained that it was no problem. Sharpner was allowed to have his wants, but he should work on his reasoning why he wishes for strength. The human nodded, and the Saiya Squad gets back to work. This time with Mr. Satan and Capsule Corp backing! Saiyaman Gold and Great Saiyaman getting costume updates from Capsule Corp, as Battle gear. Erasa a bit upset with this, but when she is introduced to Bulma, she perks up as she finds out that Bulma has already made plans for a Saiyaman HQ, and wanted Erasa to work as the Saiya Squad's Confidant and Costume Designer for future developing. Bulma remarks to Erasa the job is hers once she graduates, spurring the student to work hard in school.
-Vegeta-
Now seeing his children could fuse, hating the stupid dance that came with it. When Goku came to ask if he wanted to try it, being the only person he felt could fuse with him properly, the prince refused outright. Vegeta remarked that Goku should train though, as he did not like the idea of the low class saiyan getting higher than him. He would obtain the Super Saiyan 3 form and master it before Goku. The younger saiyan laughing that they should train together then, maybe then the two can catch up to Tarble again. Vegeta groaned at the idea, but realized that other than the fusion of his children… Kakarot was the strongest training partner he could have. The prince remarking that it is was to close the gap with Tarble, he would allow it.
Vegeta in the few years following would train in the Time Chamber for a full year with his son and daughter at the same time, Nappa had to allow the use of backstock on the Sensu beans to make sure the food issue in the chamber was taken care of. Vegeta battled against Geshe, and worked to master Super Saiyan 2 and progressed to Super Saiyan 3. The stamina drain was something he took notice of quickly, but with his mastery of Super Saiyan 2 allowed him to focus on trying to keep the form at a more stable level. His training would have to change to follow Goku's though as the younger saiyan would not sacrifice his training with his own boys.
-Goku-
Goku continued to train with his boys, Gohan returning to training with him. Gohan remarked that he did not want to meet another villain that outclassed him so easily again. Gohan asked his father to teach him something that would make life much easier for him though, the Instant Transmission. Due to Goku's life being much more stable with funds that he did not have to bring in, he was allowed to keep focus on training and not hounded to farm like the original story. With the continued training, and additional partners, he was able to start mastering Super Saiyan 3. It helped more when Vegeta obtained it as they were very close in strength and were willing to push each other.
But this Goku is not thinking only about training. Our Goku also learned a long time ago that family was important, the budding relationship with Bulma brought that to his mind. So small things he remembered to be present for. Trunk's entering into more, albeit smaller, tournaments with Geta and Ashe to help promote the Ox Style School… and Satan Style (Trunks hated the week of training the human put him through).
-The kids-
Trunks and Garic had to go to Mr. Satans for training, Bulma stating to Trunks that he would be family if Gohan and Videl stayed together and it was proper to do, Yurin explained to Garic that it would be training for him to restrain his strength. Garic took to the training full heartedly, seeming excited to learn. Trunks more slept through much of the training, knowing Mr. Satan could not make him do anything.
When Trunks was able to return to his real training, he complained that he felt weaker from listening to Mr. Satan. Doubling his efforts to make up for the lost time. The few years Trunks following, other then entering tournaments and training, the young man began to take notice of girls. Bulma's worse fear, as Trunks was much more brash and began dating early. He would lose interest in the girls quickly though and was getting known as a heartbreaker. Attempting his moves on Ashe though, lead to a fight more than anything which confused Trunks.
Garic return from his week of training with Mr. Satan to the lookout was more excited as he spoke about all the different food, and places, and people! Tarble and Yurin happy that the young boy saw things in such an excited lens. The boy said that he learned a lot, like how not to break a punching bag, and to look tired after only running a mile, and hit a metering machine with a score less than two hundred. He then remarked that he would like to return to strengthening himself but would remember to also work on minimizing his power against others.
Ashe continued to train with her mother, acting as her number one student to help newer students to practice on. Geta had began to focus on training himself like his father, wishing to gain the same mental fortitude his dad had. He hoped if the next time mind control came up, he would resist it. Ashe and Geta practicing the fusion dance once a week through the years to make sure they did not lose it to time. One day students caught them, and it was believed to be an Ox Style special technique. The two apologizing to their mother, as Chichi was now bombarded with being acted how to do it.
-Humans-
The woman could not teach the kids the fusion dance as she just barely knew the steps. She called the only woman she thought she could fuse with. 18 reluctantly agreed, but at a cost. She would be paid for her time. Chichi being a princess and the Ox King's town getting more famous from the smaller tournaments her kids with, was able to pay 18 for her services. Krillin and Marron obviously joining as they instead left Master Roshi's island finally. Krillin getting a job as a cop in Satan City, which acted as simple extra income. 18 and Chichi learning to fuse, but explained to her students that it was the final technique that would be taught from her school and only to select few students as it was an extra special skill.
Yamcha returned to his life of being a hermit, and his four students leaving once they had mastered his style. They would return to pay homage to their master, and would spar with him. One day, once of his female students came back, and when defeated began to cry. Yamcha remarked that he never took her for someone to cry after being beaten, but the girl announced that she wanted to beat him as she promised she would become greater than him and marry him. Yamcha chuckled as they should not seek to be better than the other, instead strive to help strengthen each other. Yamcha becoming married to one of his past students, the two trained together to reach new heights for humans but Yamcha officially retires for earth protecting. He felt it was time for the younger generation to start kicking butt.
Tien and Chiaotzu returned to their training, soon it is brought to their attention that Master Shen had passed away. Crane school now had no masters, and was left to be taken by nature. The two former students in that moment agreed to reform the Crane School. They returned to their old training grounds. Memories filled them of time they trained, Tien regretting many of the memories as they were filled with beating a boy who would not defend himself. Images of Tarble and him in the training ground, or Tarble shivering in the distance while he learned new techniques. Never again would a boy enter this school and feel so isolated and uncared for. The two began to rebuild their old dojo. Tarble and Yurin surprising them when they came to help, Tarble reminded him that it was his home for a long time as well. The four Crane students remaking their old home, Tarble also showing where Master Shen had hidden away the money his brother made with his assassin work. Millions of Zeni, that was now Tien's to help maintain the school.
-Nappa-
Returning to our saiyan warriors, the older man hugged lunch tightly when he saw his wife had been returned. Her blonde side out at the moment and telling him to stop being so mushy. Nappa replied that he would never allow it to happen again. He informs his wife that he is returning to training, that he is not done being a soldier and will not allow any threat come to harm them again. Lunch looked to her husband, and simply asked what he needed her to do. Nappa returned to training, remembering the feeling of Super Saiyan 2 as it happened for a moment before he fired his last attack against Buu. He needed to obtain it once more, he needed to make that form his.
He also took trips to Tarble, and asked him if he ever learned to master the Golden Ape form, which he was informed that Tarble couldn't truly master. He was focused on training others to higher strengths, and never fully mastered it. Nappa admitting that he risked it himself, but Buu was several times greater than him still. Yurin joining this conversation, allowing Tarble to enter into the chamber more but only Tarble. He would be allowed one hour a week in the chamber, Nappa questions if Yurin could simply make it that way for everyone. Yurin states she could make no limit to the time in the chamber, but staying in the chamber to long could be devastating to someone's psyche. That was why she never allowed an infinite timeframe, and stated that unless something drastic was coming she never would. Either way Nappa took this chance with Tarble, to have at least two weeks' time a month for the next few years to gain strength as he needed to be close to Tarble's strength to survive their first attempt he was sure.
-Raditz-
Returning to his job as a bodyguard and joining Goku as a training partner. His life entered a form a piece. Bulma, after so many years, asks why Raditz never asked to use the dragon balls to reclaim his missing arm. Raditz would place his hand to the wound he received a long time ago. He then explained that it was a reminder of what he was before, and something to have him strive to be better. Raditz then said he does not want his arm back; he wants to have the reminder to be better. It gives him strength and he has been able to keep up with the others because of the drive it gives him. Enjoying the peace that follows Buu, he gladly allowed for training and fun spars to be a daily routine. Simply because of training with three saiyans that can got Super Saiyan 2, he would be brought into the form as well, and already working toward mastery and possibly Super Saiyan 3 as well.
-Tarble and Yurin-
With the end of Buu, the two guardians of earth return home. Dende glad to relieve his position as acting god of earth. Yurin simply have the young Namekian a pat on the shoulder and told him he did well. The couple returned to their peaceful life of watching over their friends, but also found they had a lot to do to make sure they kept strong enough for the next threat.
Yurin would return to the Supreme Kai's World once a month, to ensure the pot containing Buu was not waning in strength. Last thing she wanted to find out that her magic proved inefficient, and the genie broke out. Kita remarked on how skillful the magic seemed, and asked if she planned on joining them for training in the future. Yurin simply spoke that she had a child at home and was the guardian of earth, meaning she could not leave for long.
She remarked that Tarble might be willing to show up for training, but Dai stated that Tarble was no longer invited onto the world. Yurin surprised by this, asked why. Dai explaining to the guardian of Earth that he access to Primal Ki was a great risk to everyone around him, and to all worlds. Hisagi was already warned and is being punished for even bringing Tarble to the level he accessed. He recommends that she try to refrain Tarble from accessing the power again, as it was a strength beyond mortal understanding. Yurin stated that she would speak to Tarble about it, but if he wished to master it then she would not try to stop him. As his wife, she wanted to support him if needed.
On her return, she did speak to Tarble on it. Tarble smiled as he stated that he would master it, the strength it provided was to valuable to simple worry about a 'if'. Yurin admiring her husband's reaction as she felt how steady he was in the way he spoke. Tarble then stated that he already felt that the power was returning to him. That the natural amount of Blutz Waves from a full moon did not transform him. Instead he could feel the energy fill his body as if being stored inside him. Yurin asked if that meant that Oozaru was out of his abilities, Tarble smiled as in the sunny day he suddenly became the Oozaru before her, before he reverted back to base form a few moments following. He was able to control Oozaru completely now, but the transformation to using this Primal Ki was not possible yet. He needed more Blutz waves and he knew it. She asked if he had a name for the form yet, and he simply responded with 'Saiyan Primal'.
Tarble's next few years were trying to help the others get stronger as he did. But one thing he did was prepare for one specific fight. One year following the battle he would land before Vegeta's home. The brothers would stare each other down, Tarble making an official challenge to Vegeta once more. A fight between the two of them, no transformations and no outside help. He remarked he gave Vegeta a year to train to get stronger while he helped others catch up as well, and that by now Vegeta should at least match him in base form.
Vegeta remarked on Tarble's change of mind. The Saiyan said that he always refused because he never wanted to beat Vegeta. That if he did, it would lose something. Vegeta scoffs at the idea Tarble beating him, but Tarble just gets ready for a fight. The two launched into the air and began their battle. Two titan's clashing overhead. Vegeta and Tarble beat into each other's bodies, blood and sweat mixed from the two struggling. Vegeta admiring that he grew so strong, and Tarble saying it was fun being able to stand before him instead of stand behind him for once.
Vegeta knew in that moment what this meant for Tarble, this fight was not for kingship. It was the final battle for him, to prove he did not need his brother to protect him. A chain that Vegeta put on his brother from a young age still holding him down. Vegeta demanded it was time to finish the fight. Tarble agreed. The two motioned their hands to their sides, and charged up a Galick Gun. One final time, one final blast, to end this fight between them. Vegeta would not hold back; If Tarble wished to be free, he would need to earn it. Vegeta fired first, Tarble launched his at the last moment. Vegeta watched as his blast was overwhelmed in a moment, and felt the gap between him and his younger brother. Whatever training Tarble had to do, put Tarble on another level. The end of the battle, and Prince Tarble was acknowledged by Vegeta and Nappa to be the new King of Saiyans.
King Tarble's first degree was to remove the class system, there is no longer noble, royal, lower, middle, or any form of class to a saiyan. As they were in ancient times, they were a tribe. They were all one people, no difference between a saiyan. He then renounces the crown with a final decree that the Saiyans will now have a king, and instead choose their own fates as individuals. All a formality, as in the end it changes nothing with how they lived already.
And so, the times have changed. What adventure will they have to wait for now? This Primal Ki could prove to be something dangerous. But without fear Tarble moves forward with mastering it. Next arc will not be in super yet, but I do plan on going into super with this story. Instead the next arc will be known as 'The Scarlet Arc'. This arc starts only 2 years after Buu's threat.
