No Match! Escape to Earth!

Bojack can't help but chuckle at the concerned look on Vegeta's face. He smirks as he sees the Prince move ever so slightly in front of the red-haired saiyan. A bond, perhaps? Perfect.

Raising his hand and gathering energy, Bojack's smirk widens as he says, "It was short, but you gave me entertainment, Prince Vegeta. Enjoy the afterlife!" With a short yell, Bojack sends the blast down towards the group…

Only for it to be sliced clean in half, causing the explosions to be drastically reduced in power. Zamasu swipes his hand down with a flourish, brandishing his ki blade as he glares at Bojack. "We will not simply bow down and let you kill us, you barbarian."

However, this only causes Bojack to smile. "I was hoping to show you that." Bojack settles himself into the horse stance, causing some concern to creep into Zamasu's mind. "Let me show you then why Frieza never killed me, despite my strength causing him paranoia."

Bojack begins with a low, drawn-out yell, which quickly escalates into a roar. With one final burst of power, Bojack transforms into another form. With green skin and red hair, it was quite obvious that this is the same transformation Saigo talked about while they were on Hera.

This makes Zamasu pause as he feels the raw power Bojack is exuding right now. His eyes slowly begin to widen as he gets a good feel for Bojack's power. Then, without warning, Chronoa enters his mind.

"Get out of there," Chronoa screams. "This guy wasn't taken down by normal Super Saiyans! Your group stands no chance!" This confirms Zamasu's fears of Bojack's power. However, Bojack notices his fear.

The green-skinned Hera Warrior laughs loudly at Zamasu's terrified expression. "So, you can tell, eh?! You know then that Frieza never killed me because I AM TOO STRONG!" Bojack's power explodes outwards, causing the ship's walls to crack in places. Toga holds Cheelai in place as the group tries to stay still and not get blown away.

Vegeta grits his teeth and yells, "Zamasu! As much as I hate asking for help, what do we do?! Bojack is even stronger than Frieza!"

Zamasu nods as Bojack's power dies down. "Only one thing we can do. We need to-"

"BROLY!"

Zamasu's eyes widen as he hears Paragus yell Broly's name. Looking at the duo, he can see Broly glare at Bojack and tense up. "No, don't go in! He's too strong!"

However, Zamasu's warning is left on deaf ears as Broly charges in to attack Bojack. The other Galaxy Soldiers jump back with various smirks, all of them eager to see Broly taken down by their leader. Bojack simply grins and crosses his arms as he sees Broly charge with a yell.

Broly rears his fist back, then slams it into Bojack's cheek as hard as he can. However, he is left stunned when all he accomplished was turning Bojack's head. Bojack's smile drops as he pushes Broly's fist back by turning his head. Then, he grins again. "Was that it?"

Broly can only gape in shock, surprised to see his power not work for the first time. Bojack doesn't let the saiyan dwell on it though as he gut-punches Broly. The massive saiyan keels over in agony, his eyes wide from the force exuded by the blow. Satisfied with his example, Bojack kicks Broly back toward the group, Paragus and Vegeta catching the wounded and weakened saiyan.

"That is the power you are dealing with. I can sense his energy and he has the strongest power amongst you all. You aren't even a challenge for me." Bojack laughs as the group grimaces.

Vegeta looks at Zamasu and says, "Well, what are we going to do Zamasu?"

Zamasu looks at Bojack, then at Goku. Goku notices the gaze and turns to him, curious and a little fearful. Zamasu raises two fingers to his forehead and mouths 'Earth'. Goku's eyes widen and he nods.

Turning back to Bojack, Zamasu jumps up to Kenyo. Bojack, thinking Zamasu was going to charge in a final-ditch effort, is taken off guard as he grabs Kenyo's cocoon and jumps back to his group. Then, Bojack finally realizes what the two fingers mean. "Hold on, your fingers were like that when you teleported here!"

Zamasu grins, his other hand on Goku's shoulder. With both of them concentrating, they could make the jump to Earth. "Well, you are smarter than you look."

Vegeta smirks, wanting to get at least one win on this guy before they leave. "You won't catch us, just so you know. This move is instantaneous!"

One of Bojack's lackeys seems to perk up at this. "Boss, we can't let them escape!"

Goku grins and waves. "Bye!" Then, the group vanishes, right as a sword is thrown at them from the side. Kogu grits his teeth in annoyance and retrieves his sword.

Bojack stares at the spot the group was just standing in. Zangya approaches Bojack and says, "What should we do now?"

This makes Bojack close his eyes and cross his arms, powering out of his super form. "We have to chase them. They have Kenyo and interfered with our plans. However, we can do something else along the way."

Bojack turns to his crew and says, "We still have our original goal of ruling over the galaxy! If these saiyans want to have a chase across the galaxies, then so be it! We can look for the Dragon Balls while we're at it."

This causes their eyes to widen. Bido, the shortest of the group, says, "They actually exist?"

Bojack grins. "Without a doubt. That Southern Kai made too many mistakes around us. He let us free and decided to talk about the 'Super Dragon Balls'. Apparently, they are spread across the entire universe and even another universe next to ours."

"Another universe," Zangya questions.

Bojack nods. "Apparently our universe is Universe 7. Universe 6 houses some of the Super Dragon Balls. If we can get there, we can make any wish we want!"

This causes the Galaxy soldiers to laugh in delight. Bojack's grin returns with a vengeance. "If these saiyans want to be chased, then let it be! The Super Dragon Balls and their deaths will be in my hands!"

The Z-Fighterz are at Capsule Corp, enjoying a meal with Bulma and Chichi, both of whom missed their friend/husband. The party is joyous, but soured a little by no news about Goku or Zamasu. Vegeta they could care less about.

Dende, who decided to stay with Gohan and Chichi until they could revive Namek, suddenly pauses. His keen senses, honed by Namekian magic, feels something fast approaching. Gohan, noticing Dende's sudden quietness, asks, "What's wrong, Dende?"

Dende frowns. "I'm… I'm not sure. I just feel like something is coming."

Then, without warning, two large woosh sounds fill the air. Directly in the middle of the party appears Goku, Zamasu, Vegeta, and three others, all out of thin air! All three of the saiyans, despite their bravado on Kenyo's ship, fall to the ground, exhausted from the stress.

"GOKU! ZAMASU!"

Goku grins wearily as his friends all rush at him. Zamasu crosses his legs and closes his eyes, content with letting Goku speak with his friends and explain the situation. As this happens, Zamasu telepathically contacts Chronoa.

"Hey! What's up?"

"I believe you know. This Bojack, he's too powerful for us, especially when I have yet to refine my Super Saiyan powers. What do you suggest we do?"

"Hm. Well, you guys are REALLY far away from Vampa now. I bet that if you continue with your task to find the Super Dragon Balls, you can keep Bojack from easily finding you!"

Zamasu nods. "Yes, that makes sense. If we are all in one place, the possibility of Bojack finding us and destroying us all is much higher. Finding the Super Dragon Balls, going across the galaxy… If we split up, we have a much better chance to finish everything and avoid Bojack. Thank you, Chronoa-sama."

"Oh please, stop with the whole Chronoa-sama shtick! We are close enough now that you don't need to use -sama anymore! Just Chronoa is fine."

"Ah- Thank you… Chronoa." Chronoa giggles and leaves his mind, giving Zamasu a plan and an… odd feeling of contentment in his chest. Deciding to ignore this new feeling (he's been getting way too many of those lately), Zamasu stands and looks at the group.

It seemed that while Zamasu was talking to Chronoa, Goku had introduced Cheelai and Toga, while also reassuring everyone that Vegeta isn't a threat. Despite that, no one approaches Vegeta, and the prince seems fine with this. Kenyo, wrapped up in those strings and still unconscious, is quickly forgotten by everyone but Toga and Cheelai.

"Attention everyone." The group pauses as Zamasu walks forward, his face looking grim despite the positive atmosphere. Zamasu looks at everyone and says, "We have a situation on our hands. A new enemy is coming with four minions, and they are stronger than anything we've ever faced. The saiyans and even Frieza are nothing compared to this new menace."

Pausing to gather himself, Zamasu sighs. "His name is Bojack, a Hera Warrior that is much more powerful than Frieza, the previous strongest in the universe. If he catches up to us, we will not be able to stop him, not without some form of miracle."

Whispering starts up at this statement. Zamasu ignores it. "I suggest this. We have a plan to use the Super Dragon Balls, I can explain that later, to revive the saiyans. The Super Dragon Balls are spread across the universe and the one next to ours, which I can also explain later. If we go into space, splitting into smaller groups, and look for the Super Dragon Balls, we can keep Bojack from finding Earth or finding us."

The group falls silent, processing this information. Yamcha, previously excited to see his friend again, suddenly feels fear in his chest. "Do we all need to go? Can't I stay here?"

Zamasu shakes his head. "It would be best for us to all leave. Keeping Earth clear of large energy levels will keep Bojack from sensing the planet. If we need to protect Earth in some way, Kami can tell us and either Goku or I will teleport here."

Piccolo crosses his arms and frowns. "Wait, you just said Bojack can sense energy. If he can, what's stopping him from following us in space?"

Zamasu grins and shakes his head. "Come now, no matter how powerful Bojack is, moving through dead space with only ki is exceptionally difficult. Even the gods use certain techniques like Instantaneous Movement to travel the universe, not just flying. Bojack has no ship and no way of teleporting. He will have to fly around to catch us and our ships will be long gone by then."

No more questions arise from this. However, Chichi does seem very conflicted. Goku, seeing his wife's distress and guessing what it's about, says, "Hey, Chichi, why don't you come with us? You can stay safe on the ship."

Chichi's eyes widen. "What? But I need to take care of the house!"

Goku shakes his head and stands, his gaze firm. "Not this time. If Bojack can find Earth, I don't want you to have a chance of dying. Come with us and no one will get hurt. We'll all be together until this thing is over!"

Chichi frowns, seeming to be deep in thought, and then she nods. Goku grins and pulls her and Gohan close, glad his family is staying together. He did say he's put them first now, and this is his first step toward that goal.

Bulma crosses her arms and nods. "Yeah, I should come too. If you guys need repairs, I can be there to help." Zamasu nods in agreement.

"Alright, let's see what groups we can make."

Yamcha raises his hand again. "I'd like to go with Tien and Krillin if I can!" The two mentioned humans voice their agreements. Zamasu nods and lets it go.

Looking around, Zamasu can already tell that Goku and his family are going to be a group. Moving on, Zamasu sees Paragus, Broly, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Bulma remaining, along with the three Herians.

"HEY! I heard you all are going into space!" Everyone pauses and turns to the side. There they see two new arrivals, two unexpected ones at that. A very pleased yet serious-looking Master Roshi, and a slightly miffed Yajirobe, are flying in on what looks like a mechanical nimbus cloud.

Zamasu raises his eyebrow at the old man and puggy ronin, but says nothing. He's seen stranger. Master Roshi jumps off of the MNC and Yajirobe follows suit, though he doesn't stick the landing. Zamasu sweat drops, wondering just what is happening.

Ignoring the ronin's cries of pain, Master Roshi walks up to Zamasu and looks at him closely. Humming softly, the old man then says, "I think I'll help you all with this quest you've got. I do have a big power level myself, so I should leave the planet too."

Zamasu nods in understanding, then glances at Yajirobe. "And the… sword fighter, over there?"

Master Roshi chuckles and says, "Oh don't worry! He'll stay with me!"

Zamasu sighs deeply, not expecting this, but then looks at the roster once more. Broly and Paragus, Roshi and Yajirobe, Vegeta, Bulma, Piccolo, himself, and finally Cheelai and Toga. He can assume they'd want to keep Kenyo close. He can probably send Piccolo with Roshi and Yajirobe, if just to keep an eye on the two of them. Vegeta, having worked with them before, can go with Paragus and Broly. Bulma can tag along as well, getting the most protection with three saiyans to help her. As for himself, he will stick with Toga and Cheelai. Kenyo is still an outlier in this scenario and he does rather not have him running around on his own.

Voicing the final group assignments, everyone gathers together. Zamasu looks at Bulma and says, "Can you get enough ships ready in a couple of days?"

Bulma nods with a confident grin. "We've been working on more space ships for a while now! We can have five of them ready just like the one to Namek in three days!"

Zamasu nods with the slightest smirk. "Very well. Now then, let's try training! Even if Bojack is unstoppable currently, we can't simply wait around and hope. We must get stronger!" Everyone cheers in agreement, some more so than others, and the groups disperse. As they all leave, Zamasu looks up to the sky and frowns. He can only hope this plan works and that Bojack won't find them easily. Only time will tell.

Chronoa shuts the book and smiles sheepishly. "Yeah, this seems awesome, but the author made a mistake. He forgot Cheelai and Toga! I can't believe he did that!"

Chronoa huffs and crosses her arms. "Those two are cute! He can't forgot the little adorable green puffballs!" Shaking her head, Chronoa turns and smiles. "Good thing I'm the Supreme Kai of Time and I can fix these things lickity-split! Anyways, this chapter is just the start of this arc. There's a lot more to come. Thanks for reading!"
