Author's Notes- I don't own Dragon Ball Super. The show and manga are created by Toei Animation and Akira T. Here's the twenty-second chapter of this story. I have a question for you all to answer, if you're ready. "Do you want me to remake 'The Misadventures of Caulifla and Kale' for the Wattpad website?" I have been thinking of moving some of the stories that I have done before onto that website, but I also think of remaking them to be more enjoyable to read. I am still new at this, but I'm getting better at it. Let me know down at the reviews! Without further ado, enjoy the story!
Caulifla and Kale What IF: Chapter Twenty-Two- "Dragon Ball Super: Kale?"
Before starting this story, I know that this is similar to the previous chapter, but this is after Dragon Ball Super and this will only focus on Kale and her goals of becoming stronger and more open minded in her social life. Understand? Okay! Begin the story!
Planet Sadala, Caulifla's Hideout (One Month After Tournament of Power)…
[It's been a month, after the tournament ended. Training with Caulifla was a good feeling to feel. Being with her and Cabba most of the time made me feel like I can do this. But...at the same time, I am stronger than the two of them. Hearing that I have lost control of my powers during the tournament, it made me feel like I can't "fully" control it, when I'm so nervous all the time. This has always been this way, even since I was at least three years old. I was nervous towards strangers, who weren't my parents. I feared that they would do something bad to me or my parents. Speaking of my parents, they were always kind to me. They would teach me the world of Sadala, how to be strong in my own way, and even teach me how to be safe in the cities near our house. Five years later, an invasion occurred and my parents were killed in a falling building, trying to save me. They did, but all that led was their deaths. From then on, I thought that I was responsible for their deaths and that I would be alone in this giant planet, filled with saiyans who have never seen a shy saiyan before. That was, until I met Caulifla. She and her brother, the captain of the SDF elites, bought me into their house, treated me with kindness, and said that I was important. I never felt this happy after my parent's death. It was a good life that I had with Caulifla. We even went outside of the house and found a hideout to live together. With a few saiyan male thugs, but they never bothered me. All I cared about was Caulifla. And...her only. I never thought about meeting other people outside of me and Caulifla's relationship as friends, but it would be nice to meet other people. Only problem is that I have my social anxiety with me. Even though, training made me more confident in my own abilities as a Legendary Super Saiyan, as an individual, I still feel nervous of what other people will think of me. This is just a thought that keeps popping into my head from time to time. Maybe one day, I would find that one person, who accepts me for who I really am.]
Living Room Area…
[Caulifla called me down stairs for a special meeting. This is weird, since she doesn't do meetings, unless it's for the rest of the team, who just left to do other things, while me and Caulifla stayed at the hideout. I walked down the stairs, see Caulifla with a piece of folded paper in her right hand, and her left hand on her hip. This feels off for her to be standing like that. I did walk up to her, smiled at her, saying what seems to be the problem. "Kale? I want you to go shopping for more supplies. We're running low on meat, training gear, and other items around the hideout. I stole some money from my brother's paycheck, so quickly spend it, before he figures out. He is still the captain of the SDF Elites and I don't want to get caught in stealing. After you come back from your shopping, we can train together at the deserted area like always. Okay, Kale?" said Caulifla to me. Shopping? W-wait! T-That means that I have to go shopping around other people!? Ah...I don't know about this. No...this is for my goals as an individual. I already accomplished my goals as a warrior, now it's time that I finish being an individual. I grabbed the paper from Caulifla's hand, told her that I will return from the store with all of the supplies in my hand and left the hideout. Since I can fly, I'll go in the air, instead on foot. It's easier that way. I just hope that nothing bad happens during the shopping. People can be suspicious, when they see me around them.]
North City, Store (Ten Minutes Later)…
Kale: (Looks at this list) Okay...so Caulifla needs ten to fifteen pounds of meat for the kitchen, two pounds of bread, fifty pounds of weights for training, and five gallons of pure water for the post training. (Sighs) That's a lot of stuff to carry. Turning super saiyan won't be a problem with it, so after getting them, I have to transform. (Thinks of her rampaging around the tournament ring) Oh...right. (Makes a sad expression, while walking out of the aisle) I have to learn to be more calm, now that I have a legendary power inside of me. If only there was an easier way of me being in control of my emotions. If only...If only...I wasn't this shy to begin with. (Bumps into a saiyan male in yellow) Ugh!
?: (Stumbles forward) Whoa! Hey! (Turns around, seeing Kale) Uh...M-Ma'am? (Blushes, while nervously rubbing the back of his head) A-Are you okay?
Kale: (Regains focus, while rubbing her head) I'm fine. (Sees the male in yellow) Oh, uh...Sorry for being in the way. I was focused on-
?: No. I'm sorry for being in the way. My boss told me to get some supplies for the science lab at headquarters. My name is Limo. (Holds out his right arm at Kale) What's your name?
Kale: (Sees Limo's hand) Uh...My name is K-Kale. (Shakes Limo's hand) Nice to meet you.
Limo: (Nervously smiles at Kale) Kale. It's a good name that you have. So...where are you heading first?
Kale: I have to get ten pounds of meat around here.
Limo: Oh! I know where that is. Follow me. (Turns around, making a nervous expression) (Crap! I'm talking to a girl for the first time! She's so cute with that ponytail on her head of hers. Those dark grey eyes of hers with those black pupils along with her dark skin color makes up for what she has on today. Red and golden? Oh, Limo! Stop it! You're getting ahead of yourself! Just focus on helping her out and continue on with your objective for Janet.)
Kale: (Looks at Limo's back, while blushing) (Limo...he blushed the same way that I did. Is he nervous about talking to me? To girls? He does look cute with that skinny body of his. Reminds me of Cabba. His hair is almost to mine, but I don't have three bangs hanging out, so that's something. Oh, Kale! What are you thinking!? I should focus on the shopping and continue the objective for Caulifla.)
A Few Minutes Later…
[Me and Limo leave the store with out belongings. I told Limo thanks for showing me around the store. Limo usually blushes after what I said to him, while nervously saying that it was a pleasure in helping girls like me. "Girls like me?" I have never heard of that before. Limo tells me that he might see me again. "I've heard that Cabba will be taking me to some girl named Caulifla for some training. I don't know who she is, but she seems to be a kind woman" said Limo with a nervous chuckle. "Wait a minute! I know who Caulifla is. She's my best friend! If you want, you could meet with her! Come with me and I'll talk to you about your help" I said to me. I later think of what I just done. I just invited someone over to the hideout without Caulifla's permission! What was I thinking!? Limo seems to be surprised, while I kept a nervous smile and a terrifying thought of Caulifla beating the crap out of him. He said that he will come with me, after he drops off the supplies to the science lab. "I'll meet up with you later, Kale. Thanks for the offer!" said Limo, as he flies up in the air and to the headquarters. I can't believe that he would agree to me. Only Caulifla would agree to me, but Limo? Is this starting to feel like my goals are ready to be complete? I shook my head, while transforming into a super saiyan, so that I can easily carry the fifty pounds of weights on my right shoulder. I held the shopping bags in my free hand, while flying into the air, back to the hideout. This Limo person made me realize that I can meet people outside of me and Caulifla's relationship. I hope that Caulifla would accept him without me being in the middle of it.]
Caulifla's Hideout (Sixteen Minutes Later)…
[I went into the hideout, gave the supplies to Caulifla, and went up to my room to think of what I just saw in that store. Limo looks like a nice guy with a good looking outfit, but looking at him as a warrior, he doesn't seem to be that strong. Limo might have been one of those weak saiyans, who work on grounded careers, such as gardening and assisting. Now that I think about it, Limo said that he has a job at the SDF headquarters as an assistant to the sectorian scientist. Hence why he had to buy some supplies for the lab. He also said that he was coming here with Cabba for some training? Why would he want some training from us? I hear Caulifla's voice telling me to come downstairs. Oh no. That must be Limo and Cabba for their "training". I leave my room, go downstairs to the living room, seeing Caulifla, Cabba, and Limo, now in armor. I blush a little, knowing that two things are about to happen: Limo training with us and me getting nervous around him, even though I only met him a few minutes ago! I walked up to the three, usually standing besides Caulifla, listening to what Cabba has to say. "The king said that I should train the weaker saiyans at headquarters on how to become a super saiyan, so I called you two for a training section with Limo. If you're okay with going easy on him. Hehehe" said Cabba to us. Limo just looks away for a moment, before awkwardly smiling at us, especially me. "It would be a pleasure of training with one of the strongest women on this planet. But...please go easy on me" said Limo, while rubbing the back of his head in a nervous manner. Go easy on him? One, I haven't done training with a stranger before. And two, I don't think that going easy is what I do around here. Caulifla says to Cabba that she'll "try" to go easy on Limo. From that tone alone, I believe that Caulifla will not go on the easy side, when it comes to training to become stronger. I nod towards this, because I have to agree to what Caulifla says. Afterwards, the four of us leave the hideout to the deserted area for our usual training section. Once we landed on the ground, Cabba is tasked on assigning us to a group of two, since there's four of us. "Kale and Limo will be together, while me and Caulifla will be on the other side. We'll stop, when things start to get too rough for Limo. Alright?" said Cabba. This is so not what I wanted to do today! I have to train with Limo!? I blush harder than last time, feeling off in training with a boy that I just met a few minutes ago! This is not what I want to do during training. Cabba and Caulifla leave the area, only me and Limo standing in the middle of the area. "Uh...Kale? So, should we start training? Can you show me the basics first, before we go to the combos?" said Limo with his nervous smile to me. I look at him and his smile, thinking internally that he means well in this. I told him that I'll go easy on him and he has to focus on my movements. After that, we began our training.]
Thirty-Five Minutes Later…
Kale: (Breaths in and out hardly) Whew! That was a good training section. (Looks at Limo, who is sitting on a big boulder) Limo?
Limo: (Breathes in and out, before looking at Kale) Y-Yes?
Kale: Uh...Are you feeling tired? This training isn't going hard on you. Right?
Limo: (Shakes his head) Nope! I'm feeling fine. Now that I know the basics of fighting, we can actually get into a match. (Stands up, goes into fighting position, and smiles at Kale) Come on! I want to see how you are at normal base form!
Kale: (Eyes widen, while standing up) What? You know about Super Saiyan?
Limo: Cabba told me about it, before transforming one himself in front of me. I'm aware of you and your friend's transformations, so I don't have to worry.
Kale: O-Okay. Just that you know, I'll still go easy on you.
Limo: Fine by me! (Charges at Kale)
(Kale and Limo throw punches, kicks, haymakers, and roundhouse kicks for twenty minutes straight)
Kale: Hah! (Punches Limo in the chest, causing him to fall on the ground) Oh no! Limo!? (Runs up to Limo) Are you okay?!
Limo: (Sits up, rubbing his chest) Ouch! That punch was powerful! (Smiles at Kale) You really know how to concentrate on force within one hit, Kale!
Kale: Oh...T-Thanks. You're not hurt. Are you? (Makes a worried expression)
Limo: I'm fine. (Stands up) You were just going easy on me, so…
Kale: Oh right! I was! (Rubs the back of her head in a nervous manner) I completely forgot about that.
(An explosion occurs on their right)
Limo: (Turns right) What was that!?
Kale: That must be Cabba and Caulifla fighting. It has been going on for a few minutes and I don't think that they're stopping any time. (Sees multiple ki blasts heading their way) Limo! Run away! They're-
Limo: (Gets blown away by one ki blast explosion to the ground) Ugh!
Kale: Limo! Dammit! I have to use it! HAAAAAAAAH! (Turns into a super saiyan) I'm coming! (Runs towards Limo, grabs him in time, before another ki blast explosion occurred)
Limo: (Sees Kale's super saiyan form) Whoa, Kale! Your hair! (Notices Kale's muscles and height difference) And you're taller!?
Kale: There's not enough time for that! We have to get away from the blasts!
[I ran away from the blasts as fast as I could, while holding...Limo...in my hands! I blush harder than the last time, feeling my face heat up from the thought of me holding this boy in my arms! I can't let that break my focus on the blasts coming towards us. I ran and ran, until we were at a far away distance from the fight between Cabba and Caulifla. When the fight is over, I'm going to talk to them about not going overboard on their fights! I look at Limo, who in comparison to my super saiyan form, is not the same height as when I was in my base form. I look away for a moment, until I heard Limo say words that I didn't expect to hear from him or anyone. "Kale? What a good show that you showed to me. I never thought that your super saiyan form was that fast! Tell me? Does your second super saiyan form that good?" said Limo. I looked at him again, but with wider eyes of shock. I didn't expect him to say that about my other form. Well, I did learned how to control the form without losing control of my self-awareness. I told him that my second form is stronger, but it requires a lot of concentration in self-awareness to properly use it. That felt awkward in telling this to a warrior who's new to the whole fighting experience. Limo nods his head, understanding what I'm telling him. He says that he has seen that before from the feed that Janet recorded from the tournament that I was in. "She told me that the Legendary Super saiyan power is dangerous to control. Let alone be that useful in battle. The previous legends who had used this power had injured themselves, or even killed themselves through the rage that had been suppressed in their bodies for a long period of time. It's scary to see a person explode from the inside. Gladly, you're the first one to not explode and learn to control it. How did you do it?" said Limo, before seeing my shocked expression. I never knew that my power would be that destructive. Not to others, but to me! I looked at Limo, saying that I never knew of the history of those previous legends dying from their own power. I'm deeply glad that I avoided that method and learned to accept who I am. I sensed that Cabba and Caulifla are done with their "fight" and are heading towards us. Once they land in front of us, Cabba was the first one to apologize for what they did. "Me and Caulifla placed a bet on who should be the better one in a battle and it seems that Caulifla won again. Sorry for not being aware of our surroundings. Limo? You didn't get hurt from the blasts. Right?" said Cabba. Limo tells him that I saved him from the blasts. He was lucky that I was with him. After that, Cabba and Limo leave the area, back to headquarters, while me and Caulifla went back to the hideout for our break. Caulifla. I have to tell her that I have something that I have been feeling towards Limo. I don't know what, but it seems to be important to share. I'm sure that she'll understand what I'm feeling towards Limo. Same goes for Limo...when he comes back to the hideout for more training.]
Caulifla's Hideout, Living Room (Four Hours Later)…
[Me and Caulifla are sitting on the couch, watching some movies. This movie shows about two people meeting for a long period of time, learning about each other and eventually, loving each other in the end. This movie has me thinking of me and Limo. Me and him going on dates in the cities, hanging out together without a care in the world, and us training for hours. That made my cheeks turn red and my face feel so hot again from those thoughts alone. Caulifla saw this, wondering if this movie is making me feel so...so...lovey-dovey. She taps on my shoulder, interrupting my thoughtful moment. "Kale? What seems to be the matter with you? You have been blushing and going into some dream like trance for the last two hours, after I turned on the movie. Is there something that you have to tell me, Kale?" said Caulifla with a raised eyebrow of confusion on her face towards me. I have to make this out to her. I took a deep breath in and out and told her of what I have been feeling towards Limo. How he looks, how his voice is so nice and gentle, how he politely tells me that he's fine, and how he understands what I'm going through. He seems to be that guy for me. Caulifla later makes a shocked expression, for which has her cheeks turning pink. "K-Kale? Y-You're not having a...loving relationship with that wimp. Are you!?" said Caulifla, now her face turning to a shade of pink from a thought of me being with Limo. I have never seen her be that way about me. I told her that I only met him today, but my chest tells me that it seems like more. I don't know how to react to this. I think that I'm...I think that I'm...I think that I'm in love with Limo! Caulifla later shakes her head, places both of her hands on both of my shoulders and explains the meaning to my loving feeling towards Limo. "Kale? There comes a time, when a woman and a man meet for the first time and they start to have these feelings. Once a few dates and meetings are set, the two begin to feel love towards each other. That love becomes stronger over time and before you know it, the man gives you a ring, falls on one knee, and tells you if marriage is the only way for them to be together forever. They get married, they have their honeymoon, they (bleep)-ed with each other under the beds, and then they have children. You see what I'm going for, Kale? You and Limo are met to be together, but at the same time, it doesn't make sense to me. You, Kale, are the strongest member of the sixth universe team-" said Caulifla, before I corrected her that I'm not the strongest in the team. Hit is. Caulifla continues to what she was saying earlier. "Like I was saying, you being the strongest 'saiyan' in the group, are shy and insecure about your emotions. Limo, who is a weak saiyan, with a job as an assistant at the god forsaken headquarters, is also shy and insecure about his emotions. You two have different lives, but together...I don't think that he's the best pick for you, Kale. One moment, you're having dinner at a fancy restaurant, and the next, you're in your berserker form, destroying the place, because some jerk couldn't shut the hell up about you two being together. So, what I'm trying to say to you, Kale is that I fear that your emotions is going to get the better of you and make this relationship worse for you and Limo. Especially Limo. Get what I mean?" said Caulifla, as she makes a sad expression towards me. I couldn't believe it, but I had to. My berserker form is still in me and anytime now, it will come out and cause some trouble for me. It's my shyness and my lack of emotional control that is the cause of what I had to endure during the tournament. I had to get the help that I need. I told Caulifla that I feel better about it and will fix this. I later leave the living room to my room for the night. Caulifla looked a bit confused of that, but ignores it as always. I soon realized that I had to control my emotions, if I would have a good life with Limo in the future. So...I have to call "her" for help.]
North City, Fancy Restaurant Area (The Next Day)…
Kale: (Looks at the entrance door) (Where is she? I got a call from her, saying that she should be coming to the restaurant. I just hope that she can solve my problem)
(A female with a white ponytail, purple dress, and a staff walks into the restaurant)
Kale: Over here! (Waves her hand in the air)
?: Oh! Kale? (Walks over to Kale, sits on the other side of the table, and smiles) I got your call after breakfast. What seems to be the problem?
Kale: Oh, Vados. I...I-I...uh...I have a feeling towards this guy named Limo. He's a new soldier, who's training with me, Caulifla, and Cabba. I met him before our training and he felt like he could be the one for me. Caulifla said that our personalities might be similar, but it's our power and how we use it that makes this situation a bit hard for me to do alone. Do you remember what happened in the tournament a couple of months back?
Vados: (Scratches her chin) Hm...I do remember. Oh! You mean that berserker form that you went to? Is that the problem of why you aren't ready for a relationship?
Kale: (Nods) Of course it is. With this form still in me, I might hurt myself, Limo, or this planet, if anything bad would happen. So, I'm asking you, Vados. Can you help me control my emotions better?
Vados: (Looks at Kale) Help you control your emotions better, so that your relationship with a saiyan male would work? Hm...I'll do it, but...(Points at Kale) You have to provide me with some delicious desserts for me and Lord Champa. He has been craving for something sweet and it's irritating for me to give him what he wants. So, do you have something that I would be interested in?
Kale: Well...I know of some variety of brownies and blondies that would be a good treat for the lord. This restaurant has the best brownies on this planet. (Smiles pleasurely) I love their s'mores brownies with the toasted marshmallow and chocolate sauce. How many do you want?
Vados: (blushes while smiling) Oh...Chocolate and marshmallow? Mmmmm! Okay, Kale! How about twelve dozen of those s'mores brownies to go and you have a deal.
Kale: (Smiles bigger at Vados) Thank you! Thank you so much!
Thirty Minutes Later…
Vados: (gives Kale a huge book called "How to Manage Emotions For Extremely Strong Fighters") This book will be your long homework assignment for the rest of the month. I'll come back, if you have any new treats for me to share with my lord. Just remember that it's your goal of building that relationship with that saiyan boy.
Kale: I understand, Vados. (Smiles) Thanks for everything!
(Vados uses her staff to create a beam of light and disappears in front of Kale)
Kale: (Looks at the book with worry) (Now that I have this book, what about my goals? With Vados helping me, what else should I do to make my goals more easy? Maybe...I have to be alone, to make sure that I'm mostly focused on my emotions. I even have to...turn into that berserker form for a better control over it. This is too scary! But...It's my actions to make it right. For me and Limo being a couple!) (Flies into the sky and goes to the hideout)
Caulifla's Hideout, Kale's Room (Three Hours Later)…
Caulifla: (walks into Kale's room) Kale! Where are you!? I have been calling you for quite a while! Kale! (Sees a letter on her bed) Huh? A letter? (Picks up the letter and begins reading it) "Dear Caulifla, I understood that with my emotions and my shyness being in the way of a normal relationship with Limo, I've decided that I will be training on my own. You will have to take care of Limo's training for me, while also becoming stronger with Cabba without me. I know how you are going to feel, once you read this letter, but it's for my own good as I want to be a normal individual, who isn't afraid of showing their emotions to other people. You were the only person to ever give me self-confidence. Now I have to build my own confidence in myself and be who I want to be in this relationship. Don't feel bad. I'll be gone for at least two or three months. I'll come back to you and Cabba for those old training sections. For now, I have to be on my own for the time being. I'll see you soon, Caulifla. -Kale" Oh...Kale. (Makes a sad expression, while looking at the window) Be careful out there.
The end?
Notes- Chapter twenty-three and twenty-four will continue this chapter as this will be another saga, called "The Dragon Ball Super AU Saga" the previous chapter will not be included, because it's just a AU of my choosing.
