I arrive at capsule corp and fly right into the back yard. Where there is a blue haired girl sitting by the pool, fooling around with some device. She looks about 12. I thought she would be at school today though.
I walk up to her, and she looks up. "Hey, how did you get back here kid!?" deciding to mess with her I start floating in the air, smiling widely. She freaks out, dropping the device, barely missing the pool. "What the actual heck, how are you doing that!?"
I laugh. "Lots of practice. hello Bulma Briefs, my name is Son Amako. I'm a space alien."
She stares at me, I give her a minute to absorb what I said. "Nice to meet you, what do you want?"
"Well...that was not the response I expected."
She laughs. "Yeah I mean, you aren't the first alien I've met. You are the most adorable one though."
I blush, this is not going how I thought it would.
She chuckles at my blush. "Hey would you like to come in, and have a drink or something."
"...Sure I guess."
I'm sitting at the island in the kitchen now. She goes to the fridge and looks in. "What flavor soda you want?"
I think, I haven't had a soda since I got here. "Orange, please." she sits down hands me the soda, and I thank her.
I crack it open, and it hisses. Oh god I didn't realize how much I missed this. I take a sip, and it's just how I remember it. The orange tang and bubbles tickling my nose.
I've been so focused about training to survive, and learning about this world. I forgot about stuff like this. It definitely doesn't help that I don't even need to eat or drink anymore. I used to love cooking.
She smiles at me enjoying my soda. "Wow kid, you would think you've never had a soda before, but I guess you are an alien."
"Nah, I just haven't had any in a long time. Technically I don't need to eat drink or sleep."
Her eyes widen. "Wow, that is surprising. What species are you?"
I laugh, and unfurl my tail. "I'm a Saiyan, but that's not really normal for Saiyans."
Her mouth goes agape. "Holy hell, is that a tail!?" Now that's the reaction I was expecting.
"Yes, again...alien. Saiyans are a species closer to apes than humans are. We even turn into giant apes during the full moon. I mean seriously you have animal people on this planet and a tail surprises you?"
She shakes her head as if to get rid of the shock and blushes. "...Right. I guess that was pretty stupid. Its just surprising seeing a tail on something that looks like a human I guess."
I nod my head. "I guess, still funny though."
After finishing our sodas she turns to me. "So what did you need?"
I reply. "Well I heard Capsule Corp was the place to go for technology related matters, and I wouldn't trust this to anyone other than the ones in charge."
she replies "what is it?"
"space ships, I want you to look at them and see if you can reverse engineer them."
She smiles widely. "Awesome, where are they."
"I just need a really big space to put them."
She stares at me."...well okay then follow me." I follow her. We walk for about 20 minutes and go through a door marked hanger.
I see that this place is big enough. I go to the middle of the room. She stares at me as I go through my inventory, and click on Kami's ship. All of a sudden his house sized ship appears out of nowhere.
She's gaping. "how did you do that? I assumed you would use a capsule or something."
I laugh. "ah it's another ability exclusive to only me, as far as I can tell. A hammer space to store anything I want."
She shakes her head in what I assume is exasperation. In order to save time, I just straight up explain to her about the literal deity that interfered in my life...leaving out my past life of course. To say she was shocked to learn of deities and the afterlife...well reminded me of myself of course.
After that I move over to another empty space and take out the attack ball.
She looks at them. "Where did these come from exactly?"
"Well…the attack ball is mine, and the other one is from my master. He's from the planet Namek, meanwhile my planet was destroyed by an evil space dictator."
"What!?"
"Oh yeah, it's pretty nuts."
"That's the biggest understatement, I have ever heard!"
I laugh."Yeah, I know. My parents, actually sent me to earth to save my life."
My smile falls. "They died saving my life."
She gets a sad look."I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, it's that psychopath Frieza's fault."
She looks at me for a bit. "Look kid, we have more than enough room here...and honestly I've always kind of wanted a little sister."
I smile widely at her "Thank you very much!"
I turn my head towards the attack ball remembering. "Ah, speaking of siblings. I also need to find a way to disable the transmitter on my attack ball. I actually have an older brother. Unfortunately he works for Frieza."
Her eyes widen. "Why the heck would he work for the guy that blew up your planet?"
"Well technically all Saiyans did. He ruled us with an iron fist. And anyone that disobeyed was killed. In the end he decided to kill us all because he was afraid of us becoming too powerful. My brother was off planet though. So him, along with a few other Saiyans that were out on missions were spared. But he did lie to them saying a meteor destroyed our planet."
She stares at me for a long time. "I understand, I'll disable it as soon as possible. But that does suck that you probably won't see your brother again."
"Yeah it does, but it's safer this way. Maybe I can seek him out later."
She smiles at me. "I'd imagine you being an alien that can pilot a ship, you would be pretty smart, maybe you can be my assistant."
I laugh. "Everything was automatic actually. But I did basically read every non fiction book in the university library, so I can probably figure it out."
She stares at me in apparent shock. "What the heck, even I've never gone that far!"
I rub the back of my head sheepishly. "Yeah, I like to read and learn a lot actually. I also needed to learn everything I can about this world."
She chuckles. "Yeah I can tell. Anyways, let me show you to a room you can use."
I follow her as she walks out. We walk about another 20 minutes to the main living area. She stops in front of the door. "Here you go. My room is actually down the hall, and the room has its own bathroom."
I stare shocked. "Holy hell, this is a huge step up from living in a hut in the mountains!"
"Wait you lived in the mountains?" I give a sheepish chuckle. "Yeah, well technically. I also basically lived in the university library as well."
She laughed. "Wow, you sound like a university student. Well anyways." We went in, and I looked around. It has a queen size bed to which my eyes widened at upon seeing. "Wow, its been a long time since I've slept on an actual, this is going to be great!"
She chuckles patting me on the head. Dust comes off. "well, you should take a bath first, I'll get you some of my old clothes to wear"
I blush, and chuckle sheepishly. "Yeah...that's probably I good idea. I can't even remember the last time I had an actual bath."
She leaves while I head towards the bathroom.
An hour later I'm soaking in the bath with lavender bubbles. After having to shower and scrub, and rinse twice before I was clean enough not to turn the bath into a mud pit.
I drain the bath, and get out. Drying myself while walking over the sink, I see the clothes Bulma left for me.
Blue cotton shorts, a green Capsule Corp T-shirt, and underwear. I put them on, and throw my old clothes, and towel into the hamper.
Its a heavenly feeling not carrying around a quarry's worth of dirt for the first time in months.
I make my way towards the bed, and promptly pass out.
About 5 hours later, I sit up really fast in bed. I had been dreaming about something...I hit my fist into my palm. "Now I remember...dragon ball..crap!" I forgot that little bastard's dragon ball.
I shoot out of bed, climb out the window, and speed off towards the crater. An hour later, I climb back in the window just as Bulma is coming in through the door.
She stares at me, one foot is still out the window. I chuckle sheepishly. "Morning Bulma."
She deadpans at me "...Morning." I get my foot through the window. "So, where'd you go?"
"Ah, well I just went to get something I forgot."
"Hmm, what'd you forget?"
"Oh it was a dragon ball." "Dragon ball?"
Interesting, I guess this is before she found hers. "Ah. Sorry, I guess you don't know what it is. A dragon ball is also called a wish orb." As I say that I take it out of my inventory.
I hand it to her to look at, then explain all about dragon balls. "Actually my master made them. It's something only certain Namekians are capable of making."
She's seemingly dumbfounded now, and I chuckle. "That's amazing!" She says as she stares at the ball.
"Yes, yes it is. Although you shouldn't use them for anything frivolous." I put my fist to my chin in a contemplative pose. "Hmm, such as wishing for a boyfriend."
She suddenly looks at me, and her face becomes completely red, and then she throws the ball at me yelling "What do you know!" I catch it with ease, cackling.
She calms down a few minutes later. "Well anyways, can I borrow them to research?" I say sure, and hand them over.
"Ah." She looks back to me. While I go into my inventory again, and take out my Saiyan armor. "I would also appreciate it if you research my armor, and try to replicate it. Please do keep it in one piece though.
It's the last memento I have of my parents." I say as I hand the armor to her. She smiles at me while grabbing it. "Of course, I think this will be a lot help especially for law enforcement."
About 6 months later, I've basically been adopted into the Briefs family. Which, I mean. They took someone like Vegeta in. I was pretty much a shoe-in.
I make my way to Bulma's signature. This time I'm wearing short overalls, and a gray Capsule Corp T. Bulma definitely loves putting that logo on everything.
We did manage to disassemble the ships for research, including the transmitter. It's still highly advanced, and basically instant interstellar communication is definitely worth replicating. But now it won't send a signal to anyone we don't want coming here anymore.
