A Wonderful Life

Chapter 43: New Beginnings

A/N: Hey guys! I'm so glad to be writing more downtime and I swear I have some great ideas, (one of which I may have stolen from a review) either way I hope you enjoy!

P.S: Zenpō means 'Forward' in Japanese, just to let you know beforehand


As such, the Universe's greatest threat had been eliminated in a flash of light rivaling that of a Supernova

Yet there was still work to be done...


The two Saiyans floated in the air, simply vibrating with power. They huffed lightly, having given their all in just one large attack

But as they floated they turned to each other and stared in surprise

"Hey Vegeta, what's up with your hair?" Goku asked, seeing Vegeta's glowing red hair in his Primal form

"I should ask you Kakarot." Vegeta responded seeing Goku's raised blue hair, opposite to that of a Super Saiyan God

As they wondered, their forms suddenly disappeared, leaving the two with a supreme lack of energy as well as a sort of missing feeling in their stomachs

"What in the?" Goku asked himself. He wasn't exactly tired, but just drained of his ki

"These new forms must have taken our energy." Vegeta stated as he struggled to fly

"Wow, who would have known that there was more to it than that." Goku said

"Yes...and we have to get stronger. We have to break our limits, less we lose a real battle." Vegeta mused

"Right, we were lucky that Broly and 21 were able to step in, otherwise we might have had to use fusion." Goku said, however Vegeta retorted

"We won't always have those damn earrings Kakarot, nor will we always have a new power to look forward to. We have to train more than ever before, otherwise fusion might not be able to save us." He said as Goku nodded

"Right, and we need to train Broly." Goku said, but Vegeta only turned his head in contemplation. He knows now that it is vital that they train Broly

And there is only one person to do it

"GRAAAAHH!!!" The large Saiyan yelled in the distance, taking everyone aback


Broly pulled his hair as his power seemed to raise more and more. Sure it was far slower than before, but this continuous stream of energy seemed to be affecting the Saiyan. A faint green aura slowly appeared, and his hair flickered green in an odd fashion

The rest didn't know what to do, if Broly were to go on a rampage now they would be done for!

Just then Cell appeared in front of Broly with a very curious expression on his face

"Now this is interesting..." Cell said. He could sense a power inside of the man that struggled to release itself. It was wild, anxious and unpredictable

Cell was beside himself in wonder, he didn't know whether to allow it to happen or to find some way to catalyze it. After all just witnessing such power was very tempting for Cell

But something inside of him changed. He didn't necessarily want to activate this beast, as interesting as it was. Instead there was another thought that entered his mind

Protect the planet

The thought itself confused Cell. Why would he, after everything it's done. There was no person or objective that compelled him to do so. Was there?

Whatever the case Cell felt like helping, and that's what he'll do

"What to do what to do." Cell thought to himself, unsure of what he should do

Broly was currently having a mental crisis, one misstep could trigger that power from inside. What if he tried restraining him? No, that would cause him to panic. What about talking? No, he isn't in the right mind to talk

As Cell was thinking patiently, 21 appeared beside Cell

"Hm? 21?" Cell asked in surprise. He was almost certain that she was knocked out, she went beyond her limits and drained herself of all her ki, not to mention Frieza was able to throw one final blow

"We need...to help him..." She said in labored breathes, Cell was forced to outstretch his arm and wrap it around her back to help her float

"You have to eat a pill before you pass out." Cell advised, but 21 shook her head

"No time...the soul..." She huffed, though Cell immediately came up with the same idea as her

"I see, I'll help then." Cell said as 21 reached deep within herself

Soon, the soul appeared in front of her in the shape of a ball of light. Cell was able to grab it with his free hand and guide it towards Broly's chest

There the ball disappeared as it entered Broly's off guard mind. As it did so, 21 passed out from exhaustion

"We'll take it from here." Cell said outloud as he held her in more of a bridal position


Anger

That is what clouded Broly's mind. Though his soul was unusually calm and passive for a Saiyan, there seemed to be a deep energy within that only contained anger, sadness, anxiety

All this and more, tightly contained in a thick fog that prevented the Saiyan from thinking clearly. Within his soul there was a figure of himself, breathing heavily

There was no way out

But as Broly panicked within, a small white light appeared in front of him. It was strong, with beams that seemed to pierce through the fog, allowing the man to see a little

"You...here to...help?" Broly asked. The soul only glowed and vibrated in response. Though Broly's mind didn't understand. His heart did

"Can't breathe, need help." Broly pleaded, barely catching his breath

The soul glowed again, and then it began to shine

The soul was able to gleam with positivity and hope, which seemed to counteract the fog. But no matter how much this powerful soul shined, it could never erase all of the fog, leaving some in the far distance of Broly's soul

When the soul stopped it was left with little energy. This 'fog' of sorts was really tough to suppress, let alone remove. In a sense it reminded the soul of when it met the evil 21, erratic, evil, heartless...and powerful

Broly was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He no longer felt panicked or mad, but instead tired

"Thank you." Broly said, garnering more glows from the soul, before disappearing


On the outside, Cell could sense the turmoil that Broly went through, as well as how he calmed. Broly's body seemed to dial down in aggression as his hair lowered and his ki faded

After a little while, the same bright light appeared once more, and allowed Cell to grab it with the palm of his hand and absorb it

"I take it you had trouble." Cell asked, feeling the lack of power it had. In response the soul seemed to flicker

"Don't get the wrong idea. You are much more powerful than before with your training, and being able to calm his mind is something that I'm sure no one but you could have done." Cell complemented, making the soul glow

But behind the scenes, the soul was actually surprised to see inside of Cell again

Before, his soul seemed to be ravaged and plagued with opposing elements. But this time it was brighter. Sure it wasn't as bright as 21, (though that says more about 21 than one may think) it seemed far lighter than the wasteland of before

Cell, without realizing it, had become a better person. And the soul could only guess why that was, after all he was still the same person

As the soul thought privately, Cell was confronted by Broly, who had finally reeled in control of himself

Though he looked his passive self, Cell could tell he was tired, mentally and physically

"Thank you...?" Broly thanked before realizing he didn't know his name

"My name is Cell. And this one here is 21, one of the people who helped." Cell said

Broly looked at the unconscious 21 and simply caressed her fluffy, white hair for a bit before stopping

"Thank you." Broly told the unconscious woman, forcing a quiet chuckle from Cell

Soon the three were surrounded by the rest of the Z team. They were weary of the large Saiyan, but after seeing his passive state they moved in

"Hey, are you alright?" Future Trunks asked Broly, the large Saiyan only nodded

"Broly is calm now." Broly reassured them, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief

"Thank god we don't have to deal with that." 17 said under his breathe, only imagining what were to happen if things went wrong

"I must say, that was some power you had there boy." 13 complimented the Saiyan, along with a head nod from almost everyone

Cell on the other hand felt a little crowded, more especially with 21 in his hands

"Well, sorry to cut the celebration but we'll take our leave." Cell said, flying upwards

"Wait!" Someone said, forcing Cell to turn around

It was Chocolata, of all people

"This is for her." She established as she flew up to hand Cell and Senzu pill

There was some clear tension between the two. Cell knew it was because she hated his guts, and simply smirked

"Thank you all the same." He said with kindness, though she didn't seem to take the gratitude

Cell flew off with the pill at hand, and eventually he was able to teleport with Instant Transmission back to the lab hideout, since he had been there before

The team watched the two Androids leave, both having helped greatly in the recent battle. Though he was once their enemy, this battle along with the last has been able to clear some tension with Cell. Now he was more of a third party in some of their eyes, minus the likes of the hateful Vegeta and the weary adult hybrids

"Broly!!" An old voice said from the distance, forcing everybody to turn around

It was Paragus, and he was fuming

"Are you crazy Broly?! You could have gotten yourself killed out there!" Paragus yelled, dampening Broly's mood

"Hold it one second! Broly helped a ton! Without him we would be goners!" Krillin objected, but Paragus didn't care

"It is true. Without the assistance of Broly we-" 16 began but was cut off

"I don't care at all! My son put his life on the line for some low lives and a dirt ball! If he had died you would have hell to pay!!" Paragus raged

The crowd around was baffled by the audacity of this man. How could he just say that after what they went through

However the only one to match his assertiveness was non other than the Prince of Saiyans

"And what of it? Without your son both you and him would have died along with the Earth." Vegeta put it bluntly. Though he was battered, he stood between Broly and Paragus angrily

Paragus on the other hand flew up to meet Vegeta

"He's MY son, and I alone tell him what to do." Paragus said boldly, though it did take lots of effort from his part

"And if you keep going, you might no longer be..." Vegeta implied, which brought a bead of sweat down Paragus' face

Though everyone around knew that Vegeta wouldn't dare do something so outlandish, Paragus did not. This alone was what struck fear into the elder's mind

"He takes too much from his father..." Paragus thought as he attempted to hold his ground

Broly on the other hand felt very uncomfortable with the situation at hand, and tired to top it all off

"Please stop." Broly asked, forcing Vegeta to turn around

"I am...fine." Broly told Vegeta as he floated towards his father

"Let's leave." He told the old man

Paragus stared at Vegeta for a few more seconds before wordlessly turning his back and flying away, with Broly just behind him. While the likes of Vegeta wanted to defend Broly from his own father, Broly himself was not ready for such a confrontation, especially when tired

The gang took a short pause before asking the more obvious question

"So...now what?" 18 asked the group

"Now we need the Dragonballs. At least none of us died so there's that." Adult Trunks figured

"Right, and Bulma still has them!" Prestina responded

"What?" He asked in disbelief

"The Dragonballs are at Capsule Corp, Bulma figured she should keep them close in case of emergencies." Prestina said simply

"Good, that saves us the trouble." Yamcha exclaimed

The gang promptly flew down to the remains of Capsule Corperation to search for the Dragonballs. Luckily the balls themselves were near indestructible, or at least could take conventional ki attacks

Eventually they were found inside a scorched drawer and promptly brought out onto the open once again. They moved away from the giant crater of the city and began the ritual

"I summon thee Shenron!" Goku yelled, releasing the Dragon from within once more

The large glowing dragon second took a moment to register his surroundings before realizing where he was

"You who have collected th-oh, it's you again. State your wish and be done with it." Shenron said, even a mystical dragon seems to get frustrated with the likes of the Z team

"Please, restore this city back to before the arrival of Frieza!" Goku asked, the Dragon's eyes began to glow

Suddenly the entire city began to glow a bright yellow. This lasted a good while before the shine was erased, leaving the once city to look as it looked before, refilling that huge gap as well

The team found themselves at the outskirts of the city (luckily) and could now see the city back in it's former glory

"It has been done. What is your next wish?" Shenron asked again

"Revive all those who died to Frieza and his men." Goku said

The dragons eyes glowed again, and as they did many small specs of light appeared throughout the city before disappearing

"It has been done, farewell." Shenron said before being wrapped in a beam of light and shooting off into different directions

Gohan breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this was another crisis that has been averted


A small amount of time passed since the fight against the emperor. The Z team had spent less than a day getting situated back to normal, and in the end the world was able to return to normal

As for Cell the fight with Frieza was both entertaining and eye opening. Not only was he outclassed, (as expected given his previous string of fights) but so were Goku and Vegeta

This proved to Cell that even with godly power there was still far more power to be achieved. Who knows, maybe there is no end to the amount of power

Whatever the case Cell was now curious of that golden power, and whether he himself could achieve it. By what Cell could figure it wasn't as simple as the War Machine form, after all that was a form that one could grow into, not exactly as he had but similarly

As to HOW to unlock the form was a total mystery, after all not every form could be unlocked through sheer willpower and anger as the Super Saiyan transformations. Could they?

Cell laid in the couch, bored as ever. Though he loved doing a little bit of everything it was easy for him to get bored, more so than the average person

Giru sat next to him, watching a new show over a streaming service (Cell had even taken the proper time to create a bank account of his own to pay for it). The little robot had evolved from tales of pure fiction to real stories like the history of cultures, true crimes, animal documentaries, the like

As he wandered through his endless slew of memories, there was a knock at the door. Though this should be an ordinary occurrence, Cell was living in a hidden bunker meant for a lost army

Cell sensed his surroundings and found the energy to be that of Gohan, which was even stranger. What did Gohan need from him directly? Though Cell guesses this just means the Z team is confortable enough with talking to him face to face, rather than avoiding him and his existence

Cell wordlessly stood from the couch and walked over to the hideaway door, where he pressed a button and opened it

Outside of the door stood Gohan, wearing his usual orange gi. He looked serious with a hint of weary, as expected of one of the most calculated members of the Dragon team

"Ah Gohan what a lovely surprise, to what do I owe the pleasure." Cell said with a fake hint of surprise, though both he and Gohan knew it was fake

"Hi Cell...is there any chance I can come in?" Gohan asked in a fairly polite tone, which amused Cell

"I suppose so. Come inside." Cell said as he stood aside from the door, allowing Gohan to enter. The half breed took a second to walk inside, behind him Cell closed the hatch door

Gohan took a second to see his surroundings. He was quite surprised to see the place look reminiscent to an actual house, minus the windows that would peer outside. There was a clear living room with a couch and T.V as well as a hallway with many doors

"Welcome to my humble abode. This is and has been 21's house for a long time, I am simply living in it." Cell explained, though Gohan heard about as much from 21 through Videl

"It...looks nice." Gohan complimented, albeit a little awkwardly

"Thank you, please sit here." Cell directly Gohan to a small table with two seats. There the two sat down, but Gohan seemed a little stunned that Cell could sit

"How can you-" Gohan started before he was cut off

"I can adjust my body to shorten my wings." Cell explained swiftly

"Interesting." Gohan said

"So, what brings you here Gohan?" Cell asked. He could tell that the man was nervous, though that was most likely due to his presence

"I'm...here to apologize." He said

"Oh? And for what?" Cell asked

"For...all those years ago. I didn't know what Vegeta was doing to you and...I should have. I can't help but feel guilty that I wasn't able to do anything." Gohan said, though this seemed to insult Cell

"Save your empty apology, I don't need it." Cell said, which surprised Gohan

"I'm sure that you or any of the others would have reacted, but what is past is in the past, there is no changing it. I have no need for small, caring words with no meaning, much less from the likes of you." He said with firmnesses, which stunned Gohan

There was a small air of silence that befell the two, minus the T.V that played in the background

"If that is what you came here for, then you have said your piece, and I bid you farewell." Cell closed the conversation, but Gohan then got his bearings

"Wait, there's something else I'm here for." Gohan said while clearing his throat, clearly starting with an apology was not the right move

Cell sat with open ears, visibly intrigued though not as much as before, hopefully it wasn't anything stupid like a lackluster gift

"I'm actually here to ask something of you. I-we need you to train Broly, if you don't mind." Gohan said with much less awkwardness than before

Cell seemed to brighten by this statement, having already thrown away the earlier insult as a gateway for the real objective

They need something of him

"I know it's strange to ask, especially since you're not exactly our friend, but we have very little options. Vegeta and dad are training nonstop, and the last time Vegeta trained Broly it didn't go too well." Gohan clarified

"And you, well you have been training 21 for some time now, and she's pretty powerful now thanks to your efforts. Broly himself is still new to fighting and ki control, but he's made a little progress with Vegeta." He continued before putting both his hands together over his head and bowing slightly

"Please, we would like for you to train him, to help him control his power. Can you do that?" Gohan pleaded, leaving Cell with his thoughts

The bio-weapon was more than intrigued with the offer. Not only did he manage to get closer to the Dragon team, (a small goal that Cell is still at odds with) but he also gets to train with Broly, and all of that energy he holds!

The small praise for 21 felt unwarranted however, but Cell refrained from commenting. After all it was 21's own hard work as well as the soul inside of her that which let to their power, Cell only gave them the material they needed

Whatever the case Cell pretended to think about the offer, when in reality the answer was as clear as day. This provided him with something new and fresh to do, he was sure 21 wouldn't mind

But then a small idea popped into his head

"Well if your situation is so desperate, I have no choice but to accept. But I have one demand." Cell asked, which made Gohan tighten a little

"And what is it?" He asked

"That Prestina come and join me!" Cell asked, to Gohan's surprise

Prestina? Why does he need her? Gohan couldn't understand his reasoning nor motives behind this

"Prestina? Why?" Gohan asked, though Cell rebutted

"I have no reason to tell you, after all if you are SO desperate in having me train your little weapon then you can accept one simple request." Cell said with a smile

Gohan felt at odds with Cell. Aside from the small dig at Broly he was being unnecessarily mysterious with him. He wasn't planning anything fishy was he?

"...Fine, I'll tell her, but someone else will come with too." Gohan assured Cell, not wanting to let any opportunity by

"Good, then I start the day after tomorrow. I still have to get things done, all the cooking I must do beforehand." Cell said as he got up from his chair, along with Gohan

"You cook?" The Hybrid asked which brought a smile to Cell

"Yes I do." He said simply as he walked Gohan out the hatch door. Before the man left however he said one thing

"Don't try anything Cell." He said

"Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything." Cell said with a suspicious smile

Gohan simply left without another word

This small meeting didn't go as he had hoped, but Gohan was still confident that he could befriend the bio-warrior as much as his father had done to Vegeta and the like. Still, he couldn't let his guard down, even if Cell was just playing around

Cell on the other hand was delighted by the talk. This just made his 'initiation' much easier but it also meant that Cell had direct access to Broly. As suspicious as he sounded, he had no real intention of molding the brute into his image, though he did have his share of fun with Gohan

As for Prestina, Cell meant no harm either, though he still wanted to toy Gohan on the matter as well. In reality Cell had a small plan up his sleeve that he thought could go very well, for all parties that is

"Now, time to make the food, I have little time to dawdle." Cell said aloud as he entered the kitchen of the hideout


Inside Capsule Corp Goku and Vegeta rested on the kitchen table, sweating after their bout in the gravity chamber. They ate A few of many capsules full of food, enjoying every bite

In the last few days since Frieza's defeat the two have taken to training vigorously in order to get stronger. Their defeat was a true eye opener for them, and they couldn't just afford to wait on the next threat to show itself

So far neither had shown any progress, though hopefully with time that will change

The two chowed down on their food, but something unexpected appeared before them

As they ate, Bulma entered the kitchen...followed by the angel Whis

Goku choked on his rice while Vegeta spat out some chicken in surprise

"And this is the kitchen!" Bulma said as she showed the angel around the building. Whis seemed surprised at the sight

"My my, this is a very elegant kitchen, much better than the ones I've observed." He said before he snatched a piece of chicken from Vegeta's plate, faster than the eye could see

He observed it for a while before eating it. Once he did he seemed overly delighted by the taste, his eyes gleamed as he moaned

"Ooh just what wonderful cuisine! I made the right choice in coming here!" Whis said while caressing his face

"What the, what are you doing here?" Vegeta demanded, a little sensitive that Whis took some of his food

"I've come to get food for lord Beerus. The food from Earth is simply the best there is." Whis complimented as Bulma smiled sinisterly in the background, unbeknownst to Whis

"Guess you're right about that. Oh oh, have you tried instant ramen yet? It's SOO good I could eat it for days!" Goku recommended while slurping a side of soup

Whis was curious about this dish, Bulma on the other hand was visibly upset

"Interesting, I have never heard of this dish. Bulma, why haven't you told me about this sooner?" He asked

"What?! Noooo!! I would never hold out on something so good!" Bulma laughed nervously

"That reminds me. Lord Beerus also asked that you two come with me as well." Whis stated, which surprised the Saiyans as well as Bulma

"Really? Why?" Goku asked

"Lord Beerus wants me to personally train you two into stronger fighters. He doesn't want to be disappointed the next time you fight." Whis said simply

Both Goku and Vegeta looked at each other in surprise. This was great! This solves one of their biggest problems yet! They could only imagine what Whis could teach them

"We'll go!" Vegeta affirmed while holding a piece of chicken in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other

"Yeah!" Goku said as well, neither of the two hesitating in their resolve

"Well then, I shall return after getting the food, I'll see the two of you by sundown." Whis said before leaving the room followed by Bulma

With that the two Saiyans quickened in their eating, set on preparing for their venture


Later in the evening, Cell and 21 ate together after having trained for an hour. Cell dined on as much food as he could if he wanted to prepare for ALL of tomorrow

"I thought it wasn't time for you to eat yet." 21 said, the soul agreeing as well. Cell took a second to gulp his mouthful of crab

"That is because I'll be leaving today for the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." He said simply, which took 21 by surprise

"The what chamber?" She asked

"The Time Chamber is a room in Kami's lookout. It is a room in which one full Earth year will pass over the course of one day here." Cell explained, which shocked 21

"That can happen? I wonder how it works..." The scientist asked while imagining a formula of physics, before shaking her head

"Are you sure you'll be alright? The psychological effects of being alone for a long course of time can damage one's health." 21 worried but Cell shook away the concern

"Gero created my body and brain to nullify the effects of trauma." Cell said simply, though 21 doubted legitimate effectiveness of this...given his tempered past

"Even then, the likes of Goku and Vegeta have been able to spend a day in the chamber without going completely insane, and I should be able to follow in suite." Cell said which better convinced 21 but didn't remove her worry

"But why are you doing this?" 21 asked

"I can't stay at this level of power forever, sooner or later someone stronger than Frieza will put me down again, and I hate being just an appetizer. That and I have to train Broly once I get back." Cell explained, 21 having heard the last part earlier

21 sighed deeply, at least appreciating the honesty Cell displays. The main point of Cell getting stronger was true as well, even 21 is starting to outclass him without the use of Kaio-Ken. (Though that was due to his restraint in using his true power)

"I see...well I just hope you'll be ok." 21 said, knowing she can't do much else

"Thank you 21, I'll keep that in mind." Cell said as he picked up all of his plates and set them on the sink

"I left you food in the fridge as well, so you don't have to worry starving." Cell said kindly

"But I can cook for myself!" 21 said in small surprise, he didn't need to go that far

"That is if you can wake up in time." Cell teased lightly, making 21 blush a little

The two said their small goodbyes, and like that Cell used Instant Transmission to leave

"I should pay him back for that too..." 21 said to herself, already trying to come up with a way to repay him, though she was running out with every kind act Cell displayed


The sun began to set on the horizon, and as such the day was soon coming to a close

In Capsule Corp's backyard the Angel Whis held a small plastic bag full of Caspules, each one harboring entire buffets of food

In front of him, the two Saiyans from before stood patiently as they waited for Whis' word. Both of them spent the time Whis had used food searching to say goodbye to their families and properly prepare

Goku was more than exited, he held a large grin over his face as he could barely contain his joy. He was going to see so many new things and, hopefully, he would get much stronger than before with the help of Whis. Chi-Chi seemed a tad upset, but with a little help of Gohan, Goku was able to get away with little trouble

Speaking of Gohan, he also informed his father about Cell and what he said. Goku, as any reasonable person, worried that Cell would do something unprecedented while they were gone. Hopefully he didn't realize that the two only people who could stop him were suddenly missing, but that was far fetched

Vegeta on the other hand could only think about Cell and the danger he posed. He worried that he would send Broly on a rampage, destroy the Earth, or even mess with everyone's head just for the sake of 'fun'

Though the prince worried, he couldn't just stay and allow Kakarot to take all of the glory, and leave him in the dust, not now not ever. If all went well then Vegeta would return with enough power to finally put Cell in his place

"Alright then, it is time to go." Whis said simply as the two Saiyans nodded

Whis turned his back and allowed both men to place one hand on his back. With the simple tap of his staff a beam of purple and blue light enveloped all of them, sending them speeding to their destination

One full of worry, the other with hope, both longtime rivals have to tighten hold on themselves if they wanted to prevail


In Kami's lookout, Cell arrived to the setting Sun before him. In front of him Dende and Mr. Popo were stationed in front of the chamber doors

"Hello Cell." Popo greeted, receiving a signature bow from the Android

"Greetings, I presume that you are aware of my intentions." Cell said as Dende sighed

"Yes we are. As much as I don't want to lend you the chamber, there isn't really anything I can do." Dende said as Cell laughed cruelly

"You are very correct, and I thank you for your understanding." Cell said as he walked forward, allowing Mr. Popo to open the chamber doors

It's a good thing Dende accepted his position, otherwise things would have been a little messier than they should. Not just that, but through Dende's observations he understood just what Cell's reasoning was and came to the conclusion that the chamber was a requirement in order to help Broly, as much as it pained him

With that Cell entered the doors, however before they closed Cell said but one thing

"See you tomorrow." Cell said with a smirk before Popo shut the door

With that the third, self proclaimed rival began his long, arduous trek of power. With all of his confidence, the Bio-Weapon began his work


Bonus Bit: The Great Naming


In the deep of space, a Capsule Corp ship flew near aimlessly

Turles and his crew had spent weeks searching for answers as to Cooler's disappearance. But not much digging later they discovered that he was killed at the hands of the Frieza Force

This was a real let down for Turles, but the mystery of Frieza's forces suddenly taking action was interesting enough to make him look around

Not having any better idea, Zangya, Cheelai and Lemo agreed to follow as they had before. After all a band of misfits must stick together

The four currently sat mindlessly in the kitchen table, both Zangya and Turles finished training and all had finished eating

With so much time on their hands Zangya started thinking of her old crew. She tended to recount moments of her past life and relate them to her current situation

This time she recalled how she never had free time before, let alone so much of it. She was always doing something, training, exploring or even researching other planets

Whatever the case her new crew, which is what she calls them now, gave her lots of time on her hands with none of the worry of being shot out an airlock

As Zangya thought of the past, Turles thought of the future. He was never one for thinking of the long term, he was usually thinking of the present, always about what food there will be, the bounty or mission he was on

But now he didn't need to worry about anything, matter of fact he was doing so well that he had time to ponder about the important things for once. Where was he going? What was his drive? What did he want to do?

For the moment the attitude dawned for a long time took over, he was going to do what he wanted, he was going to find what happened to Cooler. But after that it was sort of a blur. Maybe he could start harvesting planets again, nah. The whole crew rejected the idea, and Turles himself thought it was getting a little old too

Turles wasn't alone anymore, and hopefully for good this time

"Hey guys, I just realized something..." Cheelai said in a slightly bored tone, pulling everyone from their thoughts

"We haven't even named our ship yet." She said, which came as a slow epiphany for everyone around

It was true, their craft was yet unnamed. Turles wasn't too good with names, and hadn't put any thought into one. But after having Zangya, Cheelai and Lemo as his new crew he was obliged to make one

"How about...Starship Ram, or Serpa." Turles suggested with his feet kicked up

"We aren't going to name the ship based off of women you've hit on in the past." Zangya stated firmly

"You're right...Starship Zangya has a better ring to it." Turles teased, garnering a sigh from the blue lady

"What about Ilda? Or Arya!" Cheelai shot balled

"How about Zeta." Lemo suggested

The crew began to toss idea after idea, all minus Zangya who preferred to stay quiet

However after a little while, Cheelai called her out

"Hey come on! Why don't you say a name." Cheelai said, which prompted Zangya to think of one

"...Starship Zenpō..." Zangya said outloud

The crew stopped for a second, thinking seriously

"It's got a nice ring." Lemo added

"You're right, sounds cool." Cheelai added

"I like it." Turles said

Zangya turned to see the faces of everyone around, not realizing that they took her seriously

"Well then it's official. From this day forward our vessel shall be known as Starship Zenpō." Turles declared, which took Zangya aback for a second

"Huh...I guess his name will live a little longer." Zangya thought to herself

It was also interesting that his brashness reminded her of Turles in a sense

"Hm, what's wrong?" Lemo asked, noticing Zangya's odd look

Zangya simply smiled and shook her head

"Nothing, it's a good name." She added
