As the dust settles from his battle with the now deceased Ikura, Vegeta Jr rise up into the air and he hovers over to the opening of the ship, landing down and stretching out his arms. He then turns his head to Forte and Basaku.
"That wasn't too difficult. That felt pretty pathetic to be honest. If the other guys from this group are anything like him, it shouldn't be too hard for both of you to get on that level." He then says.
"Geez… you weren't that strong before Vegeta… how'd you get so strong?" Forte asks.
"That's a story for another time…" Vegeta Jr replies.
"Anyway, follow me. We need to go get the beans." He then says before hovering up and flying away, with Basaku and Forte following in toll.

The wind blows above the skies as the trees on the lookout slowly sway side to side. Then, Dende walks out from a room from the building with a watering can in and he walks towards one of his trees. The old man kneels down by the tree and he begins watering the tree with his can. However, as he gets back up onto his feet, he hears a set of feet touch down. Dende smirks slightly. He was expecting him to come for a while now, but he wasn't too sure when he'd come back. He then turns his head to the front side of the lookout and he sees Vegeta Jr standing in front of him with a couple other kids jumping down behind him, one being a boy, the other being a girl.
"So that's the old man you're going to try getting the beans from. He looks pretty weird for some random guy who lives in a tower. But to be fair, I don't even know how he is able to live up here." The boy says.
"Shut your mouth. Just stay back here while I get them." Vegeta responds. He then turns back towards Dende before walking towards him.
"Hey Dende." The saiyan says.
"It's been a while since we last talked, Vegeta Jr. How's it been?" Dende asks.
"I'm dealing with something that's very important right now. And I've come here to see if you have any Senzu Beans to spare." He answers.
"You're talking about your cousins, Basaku and Forte right?" The old man responds.
"How'd you... Oh yeah... I almost forgot that you're the earth's guardian." Vegeta Jr then says.
"I got a whole bag of them gathered up for you." Dende says, before pulling out a small brown bag with a bunch of beans in it. The namekian then hands it to Vegeta, who turns his back to him and starts walking off.
"Vegeta Jr. Come back here. I have to tell you something." Dende then says. This prompts the boy into coming back towards the namekian and the two look at each other again.
"You know, just dumping a bag of senzus on them and expecting them to be able to defeat any foe that crosses paths with them isn't the best way to help them defeat them. Sure, it might help them for a little bit, but raw strength isn't all that's required to defeat an opponent. And I think many forget the part intelligence plays in a fight. You've dealt with something that's greater than what they're facing off with. Don't you think you could at least lend them some guidance about how to handle the enemies they're going up against?" He then asks. The saiyan looks away from him and scoffs.
"What I'm trying to say here is that acting like just giving them a way to heal their injuries and find a way to get stronger isn't the route you need to go with while helping them. You need to help them more than just expecting raw strength to be the only thing to cut it. And besides, maybe you'll learn a thing or two from this experience yourself. Maybe you'll finally find what you're searching for to gain what you really want." Dende adds. Vegeta Jr then grits his teeth as the namekian goes to continue watering his trees. The Saiyan then lets out a small sigh.
"Fine then. I'll help them. I'll see you later Dende." He says before going back towards Basaku and Forte.
"So... You have the beans now?" Forte asks.
"Yeah." He says, tossing the bag to Basaku, who easily catches it.
"But there's also been a change in plans. I'll be coming with you to deal with these idiots." Vegeta Jr then adds.
"Now come on, let's get back to the ship, we don't have all day." He tells the two. The three promptly fly off from the lookout, leaving Dende alone to continue watering his trees.
