Chapter 3
Bulma was on the verge of something big. She couldn't tell exactly what it was, but it annoyed the hell out of her to not know the answer. She has spent many days and nights working tirelessly with her father in their own prívate lab, away from the massive labs the company has for corporate purposes. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind after having her 10th cup of coffee of that day.
"What would happen if we join the time machine logic and the teleport pads logic? That wouldn't be that hard, dad, since both share similar principles" – Bulma mentioned to her father, which was obviously as tired as her.
"That would be interesting my dear, but right now, I think we both need to get some sleep. We won't get far in our research in the state we are right now".
True. Both of them had spent almost 10 days sleeping little to nothing due to their research.
That night, the younger scientist had one of the strangest dreams she ever had.
At first, she dreamt of Vegeta, but as a normal guy, with no tail or powers whatsoever. In fact, none of the Z-Gang was out of the ordinary, except for the fact that they practiced martial arts. Then, she had another dream. The same Z-gang was on a strange planet, killing people for fun and even she herself had a gun and had fun killing people.
After having such strange dreams, she woke up and had the most revealing idea of her life: what if instead of one universe, there are multiple universes?
The idea seemed to her pretty farfetched at first, but then she realized that it may be true and that her inventions could actually help her explain and answer the idea she just had.
Without hesitation, she went straight to her lab and started working on the idea. She combined the teleport pads and time machine software in a simulator and checked their logics and equations. Then she found out the answers and built a time machine and teleport pad update to work on the new logic and equations. The result was unbelievable…even to herself: she finally found a way to travel through time AND in between different universes (each with their own timelines).
"I got to tell this to the guys. They surely will drool on this".
And with that, Bulma returned to the kitchen to finally eat something. Little did her family and friends know about the new adventures that will come with this.
