Chichi was sleeping peacefully until she rolled over. She opened her eyes to see the side of the bed next to her was empty. Her eyes popped open. "Again?!"
Quickly getting dressed, she walked ran to the living room to see the couch was empty. "DAMMIT! WHY?! WHAT MAKES TRAINING WITH THAT WOMAN SO SPECIAL?!"
She angrily walked out and yelled, "DAMN YOU, GOKU," at the top of her lungs.
She panted after her incredible yell. "Why? Why her? What makes her so special? Goku should be spending time with his wife, not some random girl. He should spend more time with his family. His son!" Chichi then remembered something.
"He... does try to spend time with Goten. . . . But when has he ever tried to spend time with me?"
Chichi looked up towards the sky. "Why does he want to spend so much time with her? Is it because she's a Saiyan? Is it because she likes to fight? Why, Goku? Why would you rather be with her than with me," she asked as she hugged herself.
"Mom?" She looked behind her to see Goten rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, looking a bit drowsy. "What's going on?"
"Nothing, sweetie." She looked back up towards the sky. "Just go back inside."
"Alright. Do you see dad or that pretty lady up there? Cauliflower promised to let me train with her after she got back."
"NO! YOU HAVE STUDYING TO DO," Chichi yelled at her son.
"Eh?! But I want to be strong like them!"
"We've already had this talk! Just get back and get ready for breakfast. You'll be studying afterward. Understand?"
Goten sighed. "Understood." He then walked back inside the house, looking a bit depressed.
Chichi looked at her son before sighing. "Fight and get strong. Fight more and get stronger. Fight even MORE and get even STRONGER. Why do Saiyans care about that stuff so much? Why can't those two act more like that young man, Cabba? He said he was a Saiyan, but he's far more respectable."
Chichi looked back up. "Why can't you be more like that, Goku?" That was her last question before walking back inside.
In the sky above King Kai's planet, two fists collided. The owners were Goku and Caulifla in their Super Saiyan 3 form.
The two stared at each other intensely before they went back to fighting. King Kai was struggling to keep his balance, the shock waves from the deadly punches shaking everything.
The two were attacking the other with everything they had, not holding anything back. They were basically evenly matched, not giving the other any kind of leeway.
Then, Caulifla finally landed a hit on Goku's face. Smirking, she was about to follow up with a kick, but Goku easily caught it. However, he didn't follow up, which confused Caulifla. Goku just looked right into Caulifla's eyes, not doing anything.
Then, he smiled. "Alright. I think you're ready."
"Ready? For what?"
"For the next step of your training." Goku then releases Caulifla's leg, powered down, and floated back down to King Kai's planet.
Caulifla also powered down and followed her teacher. "So, what's the next step?"
"This." Goku then went-
"Whoa. Your Super Saiyan Red form. Feels pretty intense up close. You only showed a glimpse of it during the tournament."
"Yeah."
"So you're going to teach me Red before Blue?"
"Yup, as well as tell you its real name."
"Real? It's not called Red?"
"Nope. This... is Super Saiyan God."
Caulifla's eyes widened. "God?" Goku smiled. "Y-You're a god?"
"Yup."
Caulifla was quiet for a bit before she started to chuckle. She then laughed. "Alright! Kick-ass! I'm gonna be a freaking god!"
Goku laughed. "I thought you'd like that."
"So, how is this going to work?"
"Well, originally, you could only achieve this power if five other righteous Saiyans poured their power into you, but the moment you use it once, your body will imprint on it. You'll have some residual energy that will stick with your body and grow alongside you until you can fully master the power enough to be able to transform at will. That's what happened to me. It took me a while, but I was able to train my body enough to transform into God whenever I wanted to without the ritual."
"For you to get this form, all I have to do is this." Goku then placed his hands on Caulifla's shoulders. Caulifla raised an eyebrow before she felt the power flow into her. She closed her eyes, enjoying the awesome energy envelop her entire body. In just a few seconds, Goku had bestowed upon her the power of a god.
Caulifla looked at her hands to see the red aura around her. "Whoa. This feels incredible. I feel even stronger than when I was Super Saiyan 3!"
"And you'll get even stronger once you get used to its power." Caulifla smiled excitedly at that notion. "Now then..." Goku jumped back and got into position.
"Bring it," Caulifla said as she jumped back, also getting into position.
"WAIT," King Kai yelled as he came running. "GOKU, ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU WERE ABLE TO FIGHT BEERUS WITH THAT POWER, AND YOU TWO ALMOST DESTROYED THE UNIVERSE! YOU CAN'T SERIOUSLY BE THINKING OF FIGHTING SOMEONE WITH THE SAME POWER AS YOU, RIGHT?! OH, WHO AM I TALKING TOO?! GOKU, IF YOU STOP NOW, I'LL GIVE YOU AND YOUR STUDENT A BUFFET!"
"On any other occasion, I'd accept that, but this is too important, King Kai," Goku said with a smile. "Besides, we won't destroy the universe. We know a way to prevent that from happening, right Caulifla?"
"Yup." She then charged at Goku. King Kai screamed as he ducked for cover, waiting for the first shock wave that would signal the beginning of the universe's end.
He heard the collision of fists, but he felt no shock wave.
Curious, he looked to see why. He just saw Goku and Caulifla's fists connected. He then watched as they punched and kicked each other for a few seconds until they grappled the others hands. "W-Why is there no shock wave?"
"Come on, King Kai, don't you remember my fight with Beerus," Goku asked as he fought Caulifla. "I was able to prevent that by making sure all of the force of my blows goes into my opponent instead of being randomly released. Caulifla already knew how to do it... because it was one of the first things she instinctively learned through our training!"
"Damn right! After that spar we had, I could easily learn your technique! Makes a lot of sense to make sure all of your power goes straight into your opponent! Like this!" Caulifla was then able to land a knee right into Goku's stomach, winding her teacher. Going with the momentum, she high kicked him in the chin, sending him flying upwards. She flew towards him quickly, planning on continuing her assault.
However, when she threw her next punch, Goku caught her fist with a smile before punching her in the cheek. She was able to quickly recover, wiping her cheek with an excited smile. Not intimidated at all, she charged back at Goku.
The two started fighting like crazy. Goku was having a blast. Caulifla was arguably having more fun than even him. Caulifla was keeping up with him blow for blow, not slowing down in the least. True, Goku was able to land harder punches, but Caulifla was able to land more hits. The two were having the time of their lives in their little fight.
After what seemed like forever, Goku grabbed the first fist he could without letting go.
Caulifla raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What are you doing?"
"That's enough," Goku said with a smile.
"Hah?! Are you giving up?!"
"Caulifla, how do you feel?"
"Like I can kick your ass all the way to Universe Six. Why?"
"You don't feel any weaker?"
"Why would I?"
Goku's smile grew. "Look at your fist."
"Huh?" Caulifla looked down. Her eyes widened. "M-My aura!" Goku released Caulifla's had, allowing her to examine herself. "I-I'm not Red anymore!? But why?! I don't feel any different! Why am I a regular Super Saiyan again?!"
"There's nothing regular about you anymore, Caulifla."
She looked up. "Huh?"
"You've been fighting me as a Super Saiyan for ten minutes."
"I've been what?!"
"It just means that your body has imprinted on the power of Super Saiyan God. Your body can now naturally produce godly ki."
Caulifla looked down at her hands. "Whoa."
"Now we just have to teach you how to harness it, and I know just the place."
Caulifla looked up. "It's not here?"
"Nope. The place I'm thinking of is much better but pretty risky."
Caulifla smiled. "I like it already. Where are we going?"
"Well, I need to get something first. Hold on." Goku then used Instant Transmission.
"Come on, Chichi. It's my day off. I wanted to spend time with my family," Krillin complained.
"TOO BAD! Piccolo's babysitting little Pan, and Goku's off training with that damn woman!"
Krillin shivered and jumped at the keywords in Chichi's angry statement. "B-But Goku's behind you."
"Eh? HAH?!" Chichi looked behind her, and there Goku was. "GOKU!" She excitedly ran over to him.
"Maybe this? No. I've already brought him that. Ooh! I've never brought him this! It's perfect!" Goku then picked something out of the ground and used Instant Transmission, right at the moment Chichi reached him.
Chichi stood there, dumbfounded. "He... didn't even notice me." She then got angry and started to stomp angrily. "HE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE ME! ME! HIS WIFE! GOKU, YOU IDIOT! GOKU, YOU JERK! UNGRATEFUL MONKEY!"
"C-Chichi?"
"WHAT?!"
Krillin jumped. "Um... you're kinda... stomping on... cauliflower."
"Huh?!" Chichi looked down to see that she was stepping on cauliflower. "HE CAME FOR THIS!? HE CAME FOR SOME STUPID CAULIFLOWER?!"
She then started stomping on the cauliflower. "STUPID CAULIFLOWER! STUPID CAULIFLOWER! STUPID CAULIFLOWER! STUPID CAULIFLA! STUPID CAULIFLA! STUPID CAULIFLA!" She then finished by kicked the now ruined vegetable away like it was a football.
Krillin stared in amazement and fear at the panting Chichi. She then took a deep breath. "Say, Krillin."
"Y-Yes?"
Chichi didn't say anything for a bit. "Shouldn't you be picking vegetables right now?"
"Y-Yes, ma'am!" Krillin was about to pick the nearest vegetable.
"Start with the cauliflower," she said as she walked away, rubbing her eyes.
"Sure, boss!" With that, Krillin started to pick the cauliflower, hoping to avoid Chichi's rage in any way possible.
Caulifla raised her eyebrow at what Goku was carrying. "What is that?"
"It's cauliflower."
"Cauli...flower?" Caulifla looked at the vegetable. "This is what your son has been calling me?"
"Yeah! It's a vegetable that I grew."
"You grew that?"
"Yeah, but only because Chichi told me to."
Caulifla sighed. "Only in Universe Seven can you find a Saiyan that farms. The Saiyans in my universe are either cops or thugs. So, what's that thing for?"
"For Beerus."
"Your God of Destruction?"
"Yeah! We're going to his planet!"
Caulifla's eyes widened. "We're what?! You get to go to your Destroyer's planet whenever you want?!"
"Only if I bring food. He seems to like the vegetables, especially the really fresh ones. This guy's a morning pick. Try a bite."
Caulifla took a pinch and ate it. "Hm, I still prefer meat."
"Yeah, no kidding. But it's for Beerus anyway. Anyway, grab on," Goku said as he extended his hand. Caulifla took it, and the two Saiyans were then transferred to a different planet.
"What's this place," Caulifla asked.
"The World of the Kais. Lord Beerus's planet is too far for me to sense him or Whis, so I had to transfer us here to make it easier for me."
"Hm."
"Anyway, let's head over to the real destination." With that, Goku transferred him and Caulifla to Beerus's planet.
Caulifla looked around. "Huh, so this is a God of Destruction's planet. Looks almost like Sadala."
"Really?"
"With all the trees and stuff, I mean."
"K-Kakarrot?!"
The teacher and student looked behind them to see Vegeta and Cabba. "Oh! Vegeta! You're here, too?"
"Huh, didn't expect to see you here, Cabba," Caulifla said nonchalantly.
"Nor I you," Cabba said with a surprised look.
"Well, this is a surprise." They all looked at Whis. "Oddly enough, we had just arrived a few moments before you. Did you sense for Vegeta's energy like last time?"
"Actually, no. I sensed Lord Beerus's."
"Oh, my. So you've grown enough to be able to sense Lord Beerus from such a far distance?"
"I was on the World of the Kais, but yeah! Took me a long while, but I finally did it."
"Well, congratulations, Saiyan." Everyone looked to see Beerus walking up... fully clothed instead of in his pajamas. "I hope you also brought something, since you came to my planet uninvited, unlike Vegeta here."
"Oh, don't worry! Here!"
Beerus looked at the vegetable in Goku's hands. "What is this?"
"It's cauliflower."
"Cauliflower?" He looked at the vegetable before looking at Caulifla.
"Hm? What," she asked, genuinely confused.
Beerus stared at Caulifla before looking back at Goku. "You didn't, by chance, name this vegetable after your student here, did you?" That made Caulifla go red with embarrassment.
"Huh? No. Chichi told me that's what it was called. Why would you think I was the who named it?"
"Hm. No reason. Hm, Chichi. Chichi. . . . Who was that again?"
"My wife."
"Your wife? Oh, yes. You were married. She was quite useful."
"What do you mean?"
"When she told you to go home and change so you wouldn't- Ah da, da, da. You're not distracting me from my cauliflower."
"Huh? But I wasn't-"
Beerus ignored Goku and took a piece of the cauliflower and ate it. "Hm. Not bad. Has a nice crunch to it. I'll accept it," Beerus said as he took the vegetable.
"So can I train Caulifla here," Goku asked excitedly.
Beerus sighed. "If you must. I'll just go eat my cauliflower and take another nap." Beerus then yawned and walked away. "Don't cause too much noise this time," he yelled from a distance.
Goku did his usual chuckle at Beerus before he turned towards Caulifla. "Hm? Is something wrong Caulifla? Do you have a fever or something? You're really red."
"It's nothing," she said. "Tch. Saying he named anything after me," Caulifla muttered. "What does he think we are, a couple? Jerk. When I'm done training, I'll smash that cat into his own litter box."
"What was that? I couldn't hear you," Goku said. "You're muttering."
"Forget it," she said in an aggravated tone. "Anyway, what's so special about this planet? That King Kai's place had way heavier gravity."
Goku laughed. "But it didn't have Whis."
Caulifla looked at the angel. "Him?"
"Yeah. He was the one who helped me and Vegeta achieve Blue."
"He did that?"
"No need to sound so surprised, young lady," Whis said with a smile.
"He's going to help with the next part of your training by watching you fight."
"Oh? So we're gonna spar, huh," Caulifla said excitedly while smashing a fist into a palm.
"Nope." Caulifla raised an eyebrow. "As much as I would love to fight you, I think it would be better if you spar with Cabba."
"Huh?"
"Oh, that is interesting." Caulifla looked at the smirking Vegeta. "You already want to compare our students, eh, Kakarot?"
"More or less. Except, you shouldn't go all out, Caulifla. I want you to fight Cabba in your base form as seriously as you can, without going Super Saiyan at all."
"Tch. Like I even need to go that far for Cabba."
"I wouldn't be so sure, Caulifla." She looked at Cabba... and was pleased by the look in his eyes. "I've gotten much stronger under Master's tutelage. I'm quite sure I could defeat you."
Caulifla smirked. "Hoo? Them's fightin' words. Bring it," she said as she walked forward.
Cabba also walked forward.
The two stopped, inches away from the other, both looking the other straight in the eye. The two smirked at each other, both looking forward to their spar.
"I don't care how much stronger you think you've gotten, Cabba. Don't think for a second this will be easy. The old man worked me over real good." Cabba jolted. "I'll admit, there were times even I wanted to rest, but he wouldn't let me. He made sure my body was plenty exhausted. I was basically in absolute bliss when my head finally hit the pillow. But thanks to those intense and awesome sessions, I'm tougher and more energetic than ever."
"KAKAROTT!" Caulifla and Goku looked at a fuming and blushing Vegeta. "JUST WHAT THE HELL KIND OF 'TRAINING' HAVE YOU AND THIS WOMAN GONE THROUGH?!"
"Huh? What do you mean? We fought a bunch and showed each other some of our moves. I gotta say, Vegeta, Caulifla is beyond awesome. Even I got exhausted after our sessions," Goku said with a smile. Vegeta and Cabba's eyebrows twitched.
Caulifla raised an eyebrow in confusion before the realization dawned on her. "Oh, my- THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT, YOU PERVERTS!" Cabba jumped in fear and felt terror when he saw Caulifla's angry smirk as she popped her knuckles. "Congratulations, Cabba. You've pissed me off enough to make me wanna go all out before the sparring even begins."
"Ah! I-! But-! Cali-! Oh, dear."
"Hey, Caulifla?" She jolted at Goku's voice. "Do you know what Vegeta and Cabba meant?"
"THEY DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING! NOTHING IMPORTANT, GOKU! JUST FORGET WHAT THEY SAID," Caulifla yelled with a flustered expression.
"Um, okay," he said in slight confusion as he tilted his head a bit.
Cabba cleared his throat, getting Caulifla's attention. "I'm sorry for my impure thoughts, Ms. Caulifla. Now, shall we begin," he asked before he got into Vegeta's fighting stance.
Caulifla looked at Cabba with an unreadable expression before she smiled. "Yeah. Let's go," she said before she got into a fighting stance that surprised everyone.
Cabba was surprised that she got into an actual martial arts pose instead of her usual brawler stance. Goku and Vegeta were surprised by something else. Caulifla was perfectly imitating Goku's fighting stance. Their students looked exactly like they did when they fought for the very first time.
Goku smiled. "Caulifla?"
"Hm," she said while turning her head a bit towards Goku.
"You really are amazing." She didn't react. "You're strong, a fast learner, and have practically endless talent and potential. I heard that Beerus called me a rare genius, but I think you're better than even that. You really are the best of the best." Goku then extended a fist. "So do your absolute best! Win or lose, it doesn't matter! You're still going to be an awesome fighter that'll just keep getting stronger!"
Cabba was looking at Goku with wide and surprised eyes before he looked back at Caulifla. "Um... Caulifla? Are you... alright?"
Caulifla... was beet red. She's been praised before, but never so passionately. She then shook her head to clear her thoughts. "I'm fine! Let's just get this over with!"
"Yes!"
The two stared at the other, waiting for the other to make the first move. Then, Caulifla vanished. He was barely able to do it, but Cabba was able to block her kick aimed for his temple with his forearm. That's when their fight started.
Both teachers were intensely watching their students fight. At least until Vegeta turned to Goku.
"Kakarot?"
"Hm?"
"Just how close are you to your student?"
"Hm? I don't know. As close to her as you are to yours?"
"I doubt that. If anything, your relationship with your student resembles more of your relationship with your wife."
"Really? Why would you say that? Chichi and I don't do anything together. She mostly yells at me to do some farming while she works around the house. Now that I think of it, the only time we really had fun together was during the twenty-third World Martial Arts Tournament, when Gohan was born, and when we farm with Goten. Oh, and when we eat dinner! That's another fun part of being with Chichi!"
Vegeta listened to every word. "It seems your relationship with your student far outclasses the one you have with your wife."
"I guess it kinda does."
"Hmph. How pitiful. I truly feel sorry for you, Kakarot."
"Huh? Why?"
"Just shut up and pay attention to our students."
"Um... yeah."
The two did just that. They were actually enjoying watching their protegees fight. They were both imitating their teachers' fighting styles perfectly. Also, like the two, they were evenly matched. Both men couldn't help but smile with pride at the progress of their students. Because of that, they forgot to examine them and see any flaws in their fight.
Good thing Whis was there.
"Excuse me, you two." The students stopped right before they were about to punch each other in the face to look at Whis. "It seems you are making the same mistake as your teachers. Your ki is leaking out whenever you raise it. Raise it only within your body to maximize your power and avoid alerting your opponents to your true strength."
The students looked at Whis before looking back at each other. They then both closed their eyes to concentrate. Then, their eyes popped open and they began to fight once more. They were following Whis's instructions perfectly. Then, their fists clashed.
At that moment, they both felt it. The power of Blue.
They flew away from each other to examine themselves, the sensation of the power vibrating throughout their entire body.
"Whoa. So that's Blue," Caulifla said. "And I thought the god form was awesome."
"This is the power Master said I could obtain." Cabba gripped his hands. "I'm so close to it now."
The teachers didn't take their eyes off of their students.
"Whis," Goku called.
"Hm?"
Goku looked towards Whis and smiled. "Can you do me a favor?"
"What would you like me to do?"
"Remember that weird mist you put me and Vegeta in?"
"I do."
"I'd like for you to put Caulifla and Cabba in it."
"Are you sure you want to do that?"
"Please, my student can easily handle that," Vegeta said without taking his eyes off Cabba.
"Very well." Whis then tossed his staff over towards Caulifla and Cabba. Before the two knew what had happened, they were sucked into the staff.
"And there they go," Goku said calmly.
"They'll be just fine," Vegeta also said calmly.
"So, Vegeta... wanna spar?"
Vegeta didn't say anything. He just went Blue. Goku followed his lead. In a flash, the two were fighting in the sky.
"What the hell is this," Caulifla yelled out as she struggled to move.
"This is very unpleasant," Cabba said. He then had a thought and began to concentrate, his ki no longer spilling out of him. "I see. We are able to move if we prevent our ki from leaking out after raising it."
"So that's it, huh?" Caulifla then did as Cabba said. "Heh. Much better. Though, gotta admit, it's kinda tough."
"So this is the god ki. So much pressure. It's incredible."
"So, Cabba." He looked to see Caulifla popping her knuckles. "Let's pick up where we left off, huh?"
Cabba got into his stance. "With pleasure."
Hours later.
Goku and Vegeta were still trading blows, both with a few scratches and bruises.
"Alright, gentlemen." They looked at Whis. "That's enough. Your students are ready to leave."
"Oh, so they're done, huh," Goku asked.
"Hmph. As expected of my student," Vegeta said.
After the two landed, Whis summoned his staff.
Out of the whirling space, Caulifla and Cabba appeared. They were both covered in wounds. Cabba's armor was nonexistent, with parts of his shirt ripped off, exposing his body. It was a bit more muscular than you'd think. But just a bit. Caulifla still had her top, which had only a few tears on it. The left pant leg was completely torn off from the knee down and her wristbands were missing, but she didn't look indecent in the least.
They were both standing tall and proud, with Cabba standing like a soldier and Caulifla standing with her arms crossed. The students had serious expressions on their faces. Both masters, who were still in their Blue state, smiled in pride. Both could feel it. They had gotten much more powerful.
"So," Goku started, "you were able to do it, right?"
Caulifla looked at her master for a bit before she smirked. Both she and Cabba powered up. The two young Saiyans were now Super Saiyan Blues. "You tell me, Goku," she said.
Vegeta chuckled. "You've done the warrior race proud, the both of you. I'll admit, it took even me and Kakarot months to achieve this form. However, the two of you were able to achieve it in just a day. You bring both pride and honor to the Saiyan race."
Cabba bowed a smile on his face. "Thank you for your inspirational words, Master Vegeta."
Goku chuckled. "So, Caulifla, how did your fight with Cabba in the mist go? Did you win?"
"No. We decided to stop after we got used to Blue."
"So you two plan on continuing your fight in front of the two of us," Vegeta asked.
Cabba stood back up and looked Caulifla right in the eye. The two stared at each other with neutral expressions before they both smirked. "No," they said in unison as they looked their respective masters in the eyes.
"Huh? Why not," Goku asked.
"Because there's someone more important we need to fight before we challenge each other," Cabba said.
"And who would that be," Vegeta asked, a knowing smile on his face. Goku was also smiling since he also knew who they meant.
The students took on a challenging look and smile before they both pointed at their masters. "You!"
"Master Vegeta," Cabba said.
"Son Goku," Caulifla said.
"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FIGHT," the two yelled, the passion in their voices exciting their masters to their very core.
"Very well. Think of it as your final test and the end of your training," Vegeta said.
"So, when should we do it," Goku asked.
The students looked at each other before they both sighed.
"It's obvious that we are all pretty worn out," Caulifla said.
"You two have been training while Caulifla and I were learning how to achieve Blue, correct," Cabba knowingly asked. Vegeta and Goku nodded anyway. "Then we should all get some rest so that we can fight at our full strength tomorrow."
"Besides, I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving," Caulifla said.
"Same here," Goku said.
"Then it's agreed. We'll go home and replenish our strength for our fight tomorrow," Vegeta said. "Kakarot, you might as well use that Instant Transmission of yours."
"Sure. Hey, Whis, can you do me a favor and call Gohan? He can probably charge up the fastest, and has the largest energy."
"Or you could have him call Kale," Caulifla suggested.
"Oh! That's right! Kale is stronger, isn't she? And her energy is beyond massive. It'll be a cinch to sense her. So, can you contact her for me, Whis?"
"Gladly. But first..." Whis pointed his staff at the Saiyans, repairing their damaged clothes. "It's best if you four returned with your clothes intact. Though you may be a warrior, Caulifla, you are still a blossoming young lady. You should be more modest." Whis then had a knowing and teasing look in his eye. "Especially when so close to the one you care for."
Caulifla jolted, a light blush on her face. "S-SHUT UP! I'M A BADASS! THOSE TORN UP CLOTHES MADE ME LOOK AWESOME! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'THE ONE I CARE FOR?! KALE IS NOWHERE NEAR HERE, AND SHE WOULDN'T EVEN CARE!" Caulifla then huffed and turned away from Whis, her arms crossed.
The angel giggled. "We both know she's not the one I mean, Ms. Caulifla."
He then turned to look at Goku. "As for you, Goku, I'm sure your lady wife wouldn't appreciate you coming home with a torn up fighting uniform."
Goku laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "No, she wouldn't. When I came back from the Tournament of Power, the first thing she did was yell at me about how I let my gi get absolutely destroyed."
Caulifla's finger twitched as she turned to look at Goku. "Hm, so you must not have been that badly hurt when you came back home, huh?"
"Oh, that's not it. Even with a Senzu Bean, I was still pretty banged up."
Caulifla's expression turned serious. "You mean you came back from a tournament that decided the fate of your universe and the first thing your wife did was nag at you?"
"Uh, if you mean yell at me, then yeah. She does that a lot," Goku said with a laugh and smile.
He was the only one laughing. Everyone else looked at him with what could only be called pity.
Caulifla sighed. "Goku, you have a really crappy relationship."
"Really? Isn't it all the same? How did Bulma react when you came home, Vegeta?"
Vegeta jolted a bit and looked away while blushing. "She... hugged me while crying happily."
Everyone was quiet. Until Goku spoke.
"See? Pretty much the same."
"Like hell," Caulifla said in an unimpressed tone. "Vegeta gets a hero's welcome while you get nagged? How is that the same?"
"I'm pretty sure Chichi was angrier about me letting Goten protect 17's island from poachers. She said I made him miss a lot of studying by doing that."
"Seriously? The entire universe was in trouble, and she nagged at you for making your kid miss school?"
"Pretty much."
The Saiyans and angel looked at the innocent smile on Goku's face before they all sighed.
"I'm starting to pity you, Goku," Whis said.
"Why?"
"It doesn't matter, Kakarot. You obviously don't care."
"Huh?"
"Mr. Whis, could you please contact Kale now," Cabba asked politely.
"Of course."
Back on Earth, Kale was concentrating, her index and middle finger on her forehead.
"Concentrate. Channel as much energy as you can into the tips of your fingers. Hold it as long as you can and charge it up as much as possible before firing."
A few seconds later, Kale's eyes shoot open. "I'm ready, Master Piccolo."
"Then lock onto your target and fire!"
Kale looked right at the mountain before her and yelled, "SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!"
The beam cut right through the mountain, leaving behind a gaping hole. However, the teacher and student saw that it went even farther. Their keen eyesight allowed them to see that Kale's cannon went through three other mountains, all of them now having perfect circular holes through them.
Piccolo chuckled. "Damn fine work, Kale. I'm pretty sure I've taught you all of my techniques. Now it's up to you to improve upon them in any way you see fit."
"Master Piccolo?"
"Hm?"
"I'd like to ask a favor of you."
"What is it?"
Kale took a deep breath. "Would you... spar with me?!"
Piccolo was quiet for a bit. "You realize that you are far more powerful than I am, correct? I wouldn't be an adequate challenge for you."
"You would if I took your training to heart."
"Hm?"
"Your training involved me controlling my power. My emotions, my ki, and even my physical strength. You taught me how to perfectly control all of it and how to properly use it. Please. To know if I truly do have full control over myself, I need to fight you." She then bowed respectfully. "Please."
Piccolo was quiet for a bit before he sighed. "Get some rest. Tomorrow will be your final day of training. You will use everything you have learned and fight me with all you've got. Understand?"
Kale stood up, a happy smile on her face. "Thank you very much, M-"
"Ms. Kale?"
"Eh? That voice. I think I might have heard it before."
"Oh. Apologies. We never did properly meet, did we? Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Angel of Universe 7 and Vados's younger brother, Whis."
"Oh! That's right. Um, what can I do for you, Mr. Whis?"
"Yes, well, both of your companions are on my lord's planet."
"SIS IS ON A DESTROYER'S PLANET?!"
"As well as that Cabba fellow. And according to both of their teachers, they've completed their training in record time. Now, they wish to return to Earth in order to rest for what they are calling their final test tomorrow."
"Final test," Kale said, knowing exactly what Whis meant. She couldn't help but look at Piccolo, who was patiently waiting with his arms crossed.
"On that note, could you raise your power to a high enough level for Goku to sense?"
"Oh, of course." Kale then got into a pose and started to yell as she charged up. In just a second, she went into her Super Saiyan Form.
The next second, Goku and the group appeared right in front of her.
"Fast," she said, genuinely surprised.
"Hm? Whoa! Kale, what did that Piccolo guy teach you," Caulifla said with shining and excited eyes. "I can tell that you're way stronger now than when you were in the Tournament! That green nanny can teach!"
Kale was blushing from the praise her Sis was giving her. "Y-You've gotten pretty powerful yourself, Sis. The power you're giving off now is leagues above what you had before."
"Damn right, it is," Caulifla said with a smirk. "I can't wait to go all out with it tomorrow. I'm gonna beat the living crap out of Goku tomorrow, and get some payback for the Tournament!"
Kale noticed what Caulifla said. "Goku?"
"Hm? Something wrong, Kale?"
"You called him... Goku."
"And?"
"What happened to calling him Old Man like you used to?"
Caulifla's eyes popped open, a blush developing. She then turned away. "It doesn't matter. What does matter is that I'm gonna beat the crap out of him tomorrow!"
Kale looked at her best friend and decided to let the name thing go. She sighed before she continued to speak. "And what if you lose?"
"If I lose, I lose. I've learned everything I can from Goku, so I just need to get stronger afterward. But..." Caulifla then looked at Goku.
"Hm?"
Caulifla walked over to her teacher. "If I do somehow lose to you, it won't be the end!" She stuck her fist out towards Goku. "I'll just keep training and get stronger and stronger! Then, I'll come back for a rematch and kick your ass! Got it, Son Goku?!"
Goku looked at Caulifla with a surprised expression before it turned into an excited smile. "Got it." He then fist bumped her, which made Caulifla smirk, happy that her master accepted her challenge and condition.
"I can't wait for tomorrow," Caulifla said.
"Yeah. You're gonna be one of my greatest fights ever. And the fact that you'll be back even stronger once I win makes me even more excited."
"Oh? 'Once I win', huh? You already think you'll win? Now those are fighting words," Caulifla said with an excited smile. Everyone could just feel the burning excitement between the teacher and student. The fire in their eyes. The passion in their smiles. The ki exploding from their need to fight. If it wasn't obvious before, then everyone knew that these two truly wanted to fight one another as soon as possible.
Yet, oddly enough, Kale felt something else from Caulifla. Something she didn't like. . . . And something she just ignored, hoping it was nothing more than her imagination.
As Cabba stared at Goku and Caulifla, he turned towards his own teacher. "Master?"
"Hm? What is it, Cabba?"
"My feelings are the same as Caulifla's. I want to fight you with everything I have. Win or lose, it does not matter. However, should I fail to defeat you in this duel, I shall train to make myself stronger, and challenge you once more. I won't stop until I have defeated the mighty Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans!"
Vegeta looked deep into Cabba's eyes he saw no doubt, fear, or hesitation in his student's eyes. He couldn't stop his prideful smile, even if he wanted to. "Well said, boy. Let it never be said that you are a failure as a Saiyan. You are, in every sense of the word, elite."
Cabba bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your words, Master."
"Let's go. We shall rest for now. Tomorrow is going to be your final and greatest test in your training. Be prepared for hell, boy," Vegeta said before he flew off.
"Understood, Master," Cabba said before he followed Vegeta.
"So, Kale?" She looked at her Sis, who was walking towards her with a smile. "You joinin' the fun?"
"Eh?"
"You gonna fight your teach like Cabba and I?"
"Oh, I am."
Caulifla chuckled before she playfully punched Kale's shoulder. It was more like a fist bump than an actual punch. "Try not to kill him, yeah?"
Kale smiled. "I wouldn't dream of it. He taught me how to control my power. I won't do anything to shame him." Piccolo couldn't help but smirk at his student's proud words. "Also, I know who I want to fight after him."
"Hm? And who would that be?"
"You, Sis."
Caulifla laughed. "I thought so. Don't worry. You'll have a chance once we go back home to Universe Six. When that time comes, you give me everything you've got, holding nothing back. You're gonna show me everything that green gramps taught ya, and show me a hell of a fight."
"I intend to!"
"That's my girl! Later," Caulifla said with a wave before she flew off.
"Kale, Piccolo." They both looked at the smiling Goku who gave them a wave. "Good luck in your fight tomorrow." With that, he also flew off.
The two looked up at the sky towards where the two Saiyans flew off.
"Well, shall we go back to Gohan's house," Piccolo asked.
"Yes, sir. I'd like to see little Pan again."
"And I'm sure she'd love to see you again." The two then flew off towards Gohan's house.
"I'm home," Goku yelled.
"Welcome home, Dad," Goten yelled excitedly as he ran towards the door. "Huh? That's weird."
"What is," Goku asked.
"Usually, you two are all beaten up after training. How come neither of you has a scratch?"
"Oh, we went to Beerus's planet. Since Whis was there, he fixed us up."
"Oh, that was nice of him."
"Wasn't it?"
"So, Caulifla?"
"Hm? What's up?"
"Are you any stronger?"
Caulifla chuckled at Goten's question. She then went Blue. "I don't know. Am I?"
Goten's eyes lit up. "Whoa! You're all blue like dad!"
"Heh. And I gotta admit, this power feels damn good." Caulifla then noticed Goten's intense gaze. "What is it?"
"You know... you look really pretty like that."
"Hm? I do?"
"Yeah. I have to agree with Goten. You really do look pretty," Goku said with his trademark smile.
Had Goku been paying attention, he would have seen the blush on Caulifla's face. "O-Oh. That so? Thanks," she said while looking away and powering down.
"Hm, so she's pretty, huh?" Everyone looked at Chichi, who had an angry look with a tick mark while holding a spatula. "You've never once called me pretty, Son Goku."
"Huh? Why would I?"
Chichi's grip tightened around the spatula enough to almost snap it in half. The only reason it didn't was that Chichi was seriously holding her strength back... and she really didn't want to buy a new one... again.
"Why would you?! I... am... your... WIFE!"
Goku and Goten jumped in fear while Caulifla just looked indifferent. "W-What does that have to do with going Blue?"
Chichi's eyes widened while Caulifla sighed. "T-That's what you meant," Chichi asked.
"Um, yeah. What else could I mean?" Chichi's eyebrow twitched.
"You really don't know Goku as well as you should, granny."
Chichi looked at Caulifla with angry white eyes and shark teeth. "What was that?!"
"Nothing important," Caulifla said as she walked by with her eyes closed and her hands on the back of her head. "More importantly, is the food ready? I'm starving."
"Oh, yeah! So am I," Goku said as he followed the Saiyan woman.
"Me too! Me too," Goten chanted as he followed his father.
Chichi just watched her family and "guest" go into the kitchen and start eating without her. She just sighed in depression before she followed.
Of course, the Saiyans were gorging themselves, with Goten actually trying to keep up with his dad and Caulifla. However, he got full first, so he stopped eating. "So, dad, are you going to train with Caulifla tomorrow, too?" Chichi was this close to yelling that Goku should be farming instead of fighting.
"Yeah, but I'm kinda sad about it."
Chichi didn't say anything. She was too shocked to do so. Goku sad about training? Chichi saw it as a sign. She thought that Goku might finally be tired of training and fighting after teaching someone younger than him. After teaching Caulifla everything he knows, he might finally retire from fighting and act like a responsible, human adult; like she always wanted him to be.
"Why are you sad, dad?"
"Because it's going to be our last training session." Chichi's hopes and dreams were shattered when Goku said that. "After tomorrow, Caulifla will leave. She'll be finished with her training." That's when Chichi realized it. Goku was sad... that Caulifla would leave.
"Aw. So we won't see Caulifla again?" Chichi liked that part, at least.
"Don't get too depressed, kid." Everyone looked at Caulifla, who was still eating. Goku was too, but that's beside the point. "Win or lose, I plan on coming back even stronger to challenge your dad again. He beat me in the Tournament, so I need to get some revenge. If I win tomorrow, I'll keep training so I can beat him a second time, making our score two to one. If I lose, I'll train even harder than ever to beat the crap out of him, no doubt."
"Win? Lose? Are you two going to fight tomorrow," Goten asked.
"Yup," Goku said excitedly. "I can't wait! Caulifla and I are gonna go all out! She's gonna use everything I've taught her to fight me with everything she's got! It'll be an unbelievably awesome fight! I can already say that! Caulifla was amazing before, so she just imagine how awesome she'll be now! Man, I can't wait for tomorrow! I'll get to fight the strongest woman I've ever met, with nothing holding either of us back! Just thinking about it makes me beyond excited!"
While Goku was going on about Caulifla, basically praising her, he didn't see how the young beauty was blushing and shaking in embarrassment. "Why does he have to keep saying stuff like that? I know I'm the strongest woman he's ever met, but it's still embarrassing to hear it from him. Why is it so embarrassing?!"
Goten laughed happily. "That fight sounds amazing!"
"Doesn't it," Goku said as he smiled at his son.
"Hey, dad, can I watch your fight tomorrow," Goten asked with sparkling eyes.
"Of course you can," Goku said as he ruffled Goten's hair, making the boy laugh happily.
"NO, HE CANNOT," Chichi roared as she slammed her hands on the table hard enough to make all of the food jumps. Fortunately, nothing spilled.
The two male Saiyans were hugging each other as they shook in fear and surprise. "Aw, come on, Chichi! Why can't Goten watch," Goku asked?
"Because he has studying to do, of course! He has tests to prepare for! He'll be spending all day in his room with his head in a book, and that's final!"
"Aw, but mom-"
"I SAID THAT'S FINAL!"
Goten looked down, pouting, with tears welling up. The only reason he didn't straight up cry was that Goku rubbed his head again. "Sorry, buddy. Looks like you're gonna have to miss out on the fight. You're mom's right. You need to study."
Goten sighed. "Yes, dad."
Caulifla chuckled. "Tough luck for you, kid." Goten looked to see the beauty eat before she spoke again. "You're gonna miss one hell of a fight. Too bad you can't use Instant Transmission. You could pop right in to watch your dad and I duke it out and pop right back into your room before your mom knew you were gone."
"Ah! That sounds awesome!" Chichi didn't think it did, especially the way Caulifla explained how Goten could use it to skip out on studying. "Hey, dad, how come you never taught me Instant Transmission?"
"Oh, um, because you never asked me. I thought you weren't interested in stuff like that."
"That's because mom would never let you teach me anything," Goten wined while shaking his dad's arm. "Can you teach it to me now?"
"I don't know. It's pretty complicated. It took me about a year to master it."
"Heh. Took me only an hour," Caulifla bragged.
"But you're pretty much a genius, Caulifla," Goku defended.
"Ha-hah! Guilty as charged," Caulifla laughed.
"So, sorry, pal. Looks like your dad isn't teaching you Instant Transmission."
"He doesn't need it anyway." Everyone looked at Chichi, who had her eyes closed as she ate her own dinner. "Goten is going to get a driver's license when he's old enough and get a nice car so he can drive around."
All three Saiyans blinked. "But he/I can fly," all three said. "Why would he/I need to drive?"
Chichi's eyebrow twitched as she grew a tick mark. She then slammed her hands onto the table and stood up, fire blazing in her eyes. "BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO ACT LIKE A NORMAL MEMBER OF SOCIETY!"
The male Saiyans looked intimidated, while Caulifla looked... unimpressed. "You mean he needs to act like a human?"
"That's exactly what he is!"
Caulifla gained a challenging glare. "Last I checked, he had Saiyan blood in him. Are you saying that isn't important at all?"
"Of course I am! Look at Goku!"
"What about him?"
"He doesn't earn a single zeni!"
"So what? From what I've been told, this guy has been fighting against the worst guys this universe has to offer. He doesn't even take the deserved credit. Vados told me that some guy named Mr. Satan took his thunder for taking down some unstoppable monster."
"What does that have to do with making money!?"
"This guy saved your planet plenty of times. Without him, there would be no money to make."
"Making money now is way more important than saving the planet, just like Goten's tests!"
Caulifla and Chichi glared at one another before Caulifla sighed. She then finished what was on her plate. "Thanks for the food," she said as she got up.
"Huh? You're done eating," Goku asked. "But you only had fourths."
"I've had enough. I'm gonna take a bath now. I'll leave enough water for you, big guy."
"Oh, thanks." Goku then went back to eating.
After getting the water and heating it up with the fire, Caulifla got into the drum to try and relax. "The hero who saved this planet several times still has to use a drum to take a bath? . . . Not bad." She then looked up towards the starry sky. "Hell of a view to take a bath in."
Caulifla's mind wondered, getting rid of her relaxed smile. "What the hell does he see in that old lady? What kind of fighter marries someone who actively tries to take the fight outta ya?"
After her bath, Caulifla dried her body off and got dressed outside before going back into the house. "Hey, Goku, the bath's ready for ya," she called, still drying off her hair.
"Okay! Thanks," yelled Goku from a different part of the house.
Caulifla then laid down on the couch, trying to get comfortable so she could get some sleep. However, a certain someone showed up to make that harder. She sighed when she sensed her. "What do you want, lady?"
"You're very rude, you know. You're a guest, but you don't show your host any respect."
"I show Goku plenty of respect. He deserves it."
"I'm talking about me!"
"You? Last I checked, Goku was the one who invited me to stay with him."
"Yeah, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!"
"Isn't this his house?"
"This house was built by my father for us after we got married! If he was a better husband, he would have spoken with his wife before making such a decision," Chichi said with her arms crossed.
"Better husband, huh? And what is a better husband?"
"A good man who's respected by society, has a good job that provides for his family, and spends time with his family. Like my little Gohan. He's a scholar you know."
"Gohan? You mean Pan's dad?"
"Oh, yes. He's such a good boy. He even gave me an adorable little granddaughter that will grow up to be a brilliant scholar, just like her father," Chichi said with a dreamy look on her face.
"Sounds kinda lame."
Chichi went back to her angry face. "I BEG YOUR PARDON?! My Gohan is a good and respected man! He's smart and has a great job that provides for his family!"
"Did those smarts and job help him save the world? I don't even remember the guy at all from the Tournament. He didn't stand out at all. You sure he's related to Goku?"
Chichi growled. "You just weren't paying attention to him!"
"Of course I wasn't. I was fighting Goku. You know, one of the biggest threats in the Tournament? Your precious Gohan wasn't even on my radar. Goku was. I don't respect brains, lady. I respect strength."
Chichi turned red. "AND WHAT HAS STRENGTH EVER GOTTEN YOU!?"
"Lady, I'm a gang leader." Chichi's eyes popped open at that reminder. "I get all the meat I want, have a league of badasses working under me, my own turf, and even have a crap ton of cash that my crew stole from rival thugs. Not that we use it, anyway. It mostly just stays in our vault to either attract more punching bags or to buy some more meat. That's what my strength has gotten me."
"And that's the kind of stuff Goku could have gotten with his strength. No, he could have gotten way more. If he was on Planet Sadala and a member of the Defense Force, he'd be an Admiral by now, putting even my brother's legacy to shame and be a living legend. Hell, if he did half of the stuff he did in this universe on Sadala, he'd be a shoe in for the King's personal guard, one of the highest honors a Saiyan warrior could get. The guy would be paraded as a damned hero."
Chichi blinked. "B-But... that sounds... just like..."
"Mr. Satan? The same guy who took all of Goku's glory?"
"H-How did you-"
"Vados told me when she took me, Kale, and Cabba to Earth. It was mostly to pass the time, but she gave us a brief review of Earth's recent history. Goku and Vegeta were impressive. Everyone else was lackluster, including that kid of yours, except for that one time he beat that android or whatever it was. Book smarts mean nothing to guys who can destroy planets with just their fingers."
Chichi got angry and defensive again. "That's enough! I feel sorry for your future child!"
"My what? Who said I'm having a kid?"
Chichi was surprised. "H-Huh? Don't you want to be a mother one day?"
"Hell no," Caulifla said as she sat up. "No way I want to be a mom."
"B-But girls need children! They should be mothers! It's tradition!"
"Do I look like I follow traditions, lady?" Chichi was shocked by Caulifla's words. "I have no interest in being a mom. Not now."
That's when Chichi caught it. "You said not now."
"And?"
"Then you would want to be a mother one day," Chichi said excitedly.
Caulifla was quiet for a bit before she sighed and got comfortable on the couch again. "Maybe one day, if I ever find the right guy. Kale's a great protegee, but I'd still love to show all of my moves to my kid. Teach 'em how to be a badass like its mom."
"And who would this right guy be," Chichi asked, genuinely curious.
"Heh, definitely not the kind of pansy you want."
"Pansy?!"
"The guy I want needs to be ridiculously strong. So strong, that even I have trouble beating him. I don't want a guy who's too handsome or too ugly. Just right. I don't care if he's smart or dumb. He just has to be able to keep up with me, or even surpass me at times. Someone who will always give me a challenge. A guy who can show my kid what a real man looks like. Someone who just gets the fire in ya going, and liven things up just by showing up!" Caulifla stood up from the couch when her ideal man appeared in her mind. "Someone like-"
Caulifla's eyes popped open when she realized who she was talking about... and who she was seeing in her mind. She was so close to saying his name. "N-No way. When did I..."
Caulifla looked down, her eyes shadowed. She then fell back on the couch, let out a deep sigh, and placed a hand on her forehead; now deep in thought. "Of all the people, why him? And when? When did I..."
"This ideal man," Chichi began.
"Hm?"
"Could it be this Cabba boy I've heard about?"
Caulifla didn't answer immediately. "And when have you heard of him?"
"I was there for the Destroyer's Tournament. He was a handsome young man who seems to have a bright future ahead of him. I would suggest grabbing him as soon as you can. If you wait too long, some other girl will come and snatch him away," Chichi said in a singsong voice.
"Hm. Well, sorry, but I'm not so cheap that I'd fall for a guy like that. It doesn't matter how strong he gets. He'll never be my type."
"Oh, well that's a shame. I thought you two would have looked good together."
"Like hell, we would." Caulifla sighed once more. "Hey, Chichi?"
"Huh. That's the first time you've called me by name since you got here."
"Congratulations. Anyway, how did you and Goku become an item to begin with?"
Caulifla peeked past her palm to see Chichi cupping her cheeks, blushing, a dreamy look on her face. "It was magical. We first met when we were kids. We talked about how nice it would be to get married and have a family the moment we met! He even promised to marry me! Years later, he forgot, but he remembered after we fought; and he proposed to me after the World Martial Arts Tournament! It was so romantic." Chichi just kept giggling after going down memory lane.
Caulifla looked at Chichi... with an unimpressed gaze. "He didn't know what he was getting into at all, did he? You basically tricked him into marrying you."
Chichi's eyes popped open. "I DIDN'T TRICK HIM! HE WILLINGLY ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM!"
"To fulfill a promise he made as a kid. The guy's too honorable. Of course, he'd keep a promise he made as a kid, even without understanding it."
Chichi growled at Caulifla. "And here I thought we were having a meaningful conversation! I won't stand here and let you insult my marriage! GOOD NIGHT," Chichi roared before stomping off towards her room.
Caulifla watched Chichi slam her door shut before laying back down on the couch. "I thought their marriage was crappy before. But to find out it was made out of a dumb promise between kids? That's just stupid."
Caulifla then rolled over, her cheek on the pillow, lost in thought again. "Such a stupid reason to marry. I'd rather not get married over something so dumb as a childhood promise. If I had met Goku first, it would have..." Caulifla stopped her thought immediately.
"Tch. Who cares what would have happened? I need to get some sleep." She rolled onto the other side of the pillow and closed her eyes. "Get some sleep, Caulifla. You have the fight to win tomorrow."
With that, the beautiful, young Saiyan went to sleep.
Chichi was about to get into her bed until she looked at Goku, snoring away.
"You basically tricked him into marrying you," rang Caulifla's words in her mind.
"Of course he'd keep a promise he made as a kid, even without understanding it."
Chichi laid down next to her husband, looking at him sleeping peacefully. "You... still wanted to marry me, right Goku?" Goku snorted a bit before going back to snoring. "We're... happily married, right?" She reached over and grabbed his hand. She felt at ease when he softly gripped her hand.
She smiled and snuggled up to the sleeping Saiyan. "Yeah. It may have some flaws, but we're happily married." She then went to sleep.
However, had she stayed awake just a bit longer, she would have heard Goku talk in his sleep. "Is that all you got, Caulifla?"
Omake:
A random man fell onto his back, badly beaten. He tried to get back up but ended up falling unconscious.
"Heh, that all you punks got," Caulifla asked with a prideful smirk. "I can't believe you losers challenged my crew. Alright, boys, let's take our prize!"
"Yes, Sis," the gang yelled out in excitement.
"Ha-hah! I heard the boss was tough, but she's on a different level," said a member holding a box of gold.
"Right? She took out their boss in just two seconds," another one holding a box of food said.
"Oh, crap. Guys, it's the Defense Force," the lookout yelled.
"Hm? Oh, those losers," a female member said.
"Yeah. As long as we have the boss, we've got nothing to worry about," said an older looking member.
"Everything loaded," Caulifla asked with her hands on her hips.
"Yes, Sis," the gang answered.
"Another successful haul, Sis," Kale said with a smile and blush.
"And we've got more turf. Not a bad day," Caulifla said.
Caulifla then heard a cruiser stop behind her, but she didn't look. She wasn't interested in the Sadala Defense Force. None of them were much of a challenge. Well, except for one, but she didn't think he would show up any time soon.
"Causing me trouble again, eh, Caulifla?"
Her eyes popped open and shined at the familiar voice. She turned around to confirm her suspicions. When she saw that it really was him, she had an excited smirk on her face. "Well, well. Didn't think I'd see you so soon."
"Oh, crap! What is he doing here," a member asked.
"I heard he was sent to stop a war on the other side of the galaxy! Did he end it already," a female member asked.
"Oh, man. We're screwed. Why did it have to be Dragon Fist Goku?!"
Before Caulifla was one of the highest-ranking officers in all of the Sadala Defense Force, Admiral Son Goku. He was a shining star in the academy and rose from cadet to captain in just a year. Two years later, he reached Admiral and used his position to take down plenty of pirates, criminals, and crooks. It was because of his actions that Frost was revealed to be a crook, and he was also the one who all but single-handedly took down Frost's syndicate.
He has been given the highest honors by the king himself and is one of the most respected soldiers in the Defense Force's history.
However, what was important now was the fact that he's the only soldier in the entire army that can go toe-to-toe with Caulifla.
The uniformed Saiyan popped his knuckles, an excited smirk on his face. "When I got reports about you being in this area, I made sure to end the war defending the Metalmen against Frost's remaining soldiers as soon as possible to get to you."
"Heh, so you wanted to fight me that badly," Caulifla asked as she popped her neck. "I'm flattered." She then got into her fighting stance.
"Sir, shall we engage," a soldier asked Goku.
"Capture as many thugs as you can, and try to take back some of the stolen goods, but do not attack Caulifla." He got into his own stance. "She's mine."
One soldier's eyes widened. "Is the Admiral nuts?! I've read the reports on Caulifla! She's way too strong to go after alone!"
An older soldier chuckled. "You rookies are funny. Watch and learn, boy."
When the veteran said that, Goku and Caulifla charged at each other. Their clash caused a shock wave that caused many of the warriors from both sides to shield their eyes from the wind pressure.
When the rookie was able to see again, he was amazed by the sight before him. "Incredible. They're both unbelievable."
"That's the power of our Dragon Fist. He's an admiral for a reason, you know."
"Why is he called Dragon Fist," the rookie asked.
"Questions for later, kid. We have orders to follow. "Alright, boys, let's kick some ass!"
"Yes, Commander," the soldiers said before they charged in towards Caulifla's crew.
"Alright, guys, while our Sis kicks Dragon Fist's ass, let's take down his lackeys," a female gangster standing next to a serious looking Kale said.
"YEAH," the crew cheered before they charged towards the soldiers.
It was now a full-on battle all around, from the ground to the sky to even the lake near them. Caulifla's crew had the bigger advantage with Kale on their side, but Goku's platoon was still taking down a great many gang members.
The leaders of the groups didn't care. They were way too preoccupied with each other. Their fight was the most chaotic of them all, each untraceable punch and kick creating powerful gusts of wind that made it hard for the others to fight.
It was another awesome fight between the two mighty Saiyans, and another one the two were greatly enjoying. Time seemed to slow down for both of them as they prepared to throw the next punch. Reality itself seemed to shake when their fists collided, the two staring into the other's eyes, both with smiles filled to the brim with excitement and joy.
A bright light shined from their colliding fists, engulfing everything in bright, white light.
Caulifla snuggled up closer to the pillow on the couch, greatly enjoying her dream. The dream of what could have happened if Goku had been born in Universe Six instead of Universe Seven.
As she slept with the content smile on her lovely face, she couldn't help but say this in her sleep, "You ain't seen nothin' yet, Goku."
A/N: Sheesh, this took longer than I thought.
I must apologize to maryomafyotu406. We had a small PM conversation, and you were hoping I would make a scene where Caulifla and Chichi would become friends, correct? Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it would contradict with the ending of the fic, so I honestly couldn't do it. I'm sorry. Besides, I couldn't find any good way to make it work. Caulifla and Chichi are bigger opposites than Bulma and Chichi are. Though, their opposite personalities work in a way where you can easily see them as friends. Caulifla and Chichi don't have that kind of advantage.
I'm truly sorry I couldn't make a scene you would have liked to have, but I still give you permission to rewrite this chapter in a way that such a scene is possible. I always enjoy alternate takes of my work.
Speaking of my work, I feel that I wasn't as into it as I could have been. Like I was lacking something. Maybe it was because of this review from Guest:
so much shit. Shit everywhere. Ffs this is utter trash. how much energy did u spend writing this trash?
I honestly don't know how much time it took me to write this trash. I don't pay attention to stuff like that. How much time did it take you to write... Oh. Oh, well, would you look at that. You don't have a single story to your name, do you?
In fact, you don't have an account on fanfiction at all. Hm. You've got no name at all.
Well, how about this, why don't you make yourself an account, write a story, and show me what real art looks like instead of my trash?
What do you have to lose? Since you see this as trash, then you must have more than enough talent to make your own, far superior story, right? I'll be waiting for such a story.
There's no way you're nothing more than a piece of shit troll who can only flame others work behind the safety of your computer or phone, right? I mean, people like that are as worthless as they come. They're too cowardly to post their own work or have no talent or imagination to even try to think of something interesting, so they have to shit on the efforts of others. Don't be like one of those maggots.
At the very least, you could have told me how to improve this story like maryomafyotu406 tried to do. That's what reviews are best used for.
Until the next chapter.
