Dragon BAll- Hermit Shen[A Human Story]

Work is in progress at Capsule Corp, while just down the street nearby, people are going about their business as usual. Yet not everything is as normal as it seems... Of course, a spaceship is being built in the middle of a bustling city, but there's also another secret that no one is aware of.

Another scientist is lurking here, in this city.

In a house located at a shady alleyway, mostly frequented by criminals, two people are having a heated argument. One of them is the said scientist.

"Father, please refrain from making such unwarranted remarks! Mother and brother would never betray us," a flamboyant young man tells the older person before him.

The aged man, his colors faded, gets angry at his son's words. "You are too naive, boy. You don't know that woman. Aren't you aware she and I can't agree on anything?"

Dr. Gero is with his son Gevo, discussing some important matters.

"Please, trust in our family, just this once. Maybe this difficult situation is a God-given opportunity for us to patch our broken family. We're already running around, escaping the authorities after they found out about your lab. Even if you fight them, your lab lacks resources and funds to continue research. All of your links to gather resources have also been disrupted. Mom can surely help us."

"Fine, fine, I'll agree just this once." Dr. Gero lets out an exhausted sigh.

. . . . .

Returning to Capsule Corp...

"Uncle, so you own a school?" Kid Bulma is talking with the strange guest who has arrived at her home.

"Yes, well, technically not own—I run one," Shen responds. "You said you'll soon turn five, right?"

"Umm!! I will," Bulma nods. Shen nods in return.

The two of them are in the garden, looking at nothing in particular—just grass and flowers. Today, the spaceship is supposed to be ready for action, so Shen has arrived early. The situation right now is awkward, to say the least.

"Ahem! You do your thing. I'll check on your father."

"Okay!!"

"Right! You have an older sister, don't you?" Shen remembers something before leaving.

"I do have a sister, mister. Do you have any business with Tights?"

"I do. Tell her to contact me the next time you see her. Dr. Brief should have my number. Better yet, I'll contact her myself if, for some reason, I'm not available at that moment."

"Sure."

When Goku arrives on Earth, Shen will most likely not be present on the planet, but he has to be if he wants to take advantage of that event. Jaco from the Galactic Patrol is supposed to show up at that time.

The Galactic Patrol is an organization that ensures safety across the galaxy. Shen has a deal he wants to put forward to them, so he has chosen the second-best option to accomplish that goal—he will get the help of Bulma's sister, who will bee befriending Jaco.

. . .

The spaceship functioned perfectly during the test run.

This ship is the same old Namekian ship that Kami arrived on Earth in, now recommissioned for use after repairing and upgrading some of its components.

Alterations were necessary. According to Dr. Brief, turning the old rusty ship operational again was rather complicated. As the base for the new ship still came from the old one, the language used by the ship's system was the Namekian language, so it first had to be translated with Kami's help.

The day after the test, the ship is ready to launch. Everything is perfect.

Shen had gone to inform his disciples at the base about his departure, though something he hadn't accounted for also happened. It's a slight problem.

"I will go with you," Launch boldly announces.

Maybe it wasn't as slight as one would think.

"Hmm... I guess it's decided. I don't really mind you coming with me. I'd be bored alone anyway."

Launch has a satisfied smile on her face. "Hmph, figures. How can anyone dare refuse me? But don't think you can get comfy with me that easily. I haven't forgotten how you left me twice. You're not leaving me alone again—I'll follow you like a ghost."

'Were we always this close?' Shen wonders.

Bulma, watching the two from the side, exclaims, "Aww, wholesome!!"

"Did you say something?" Shen asks, having heard her.

"No, nothing."

'What ideas is this girl having at her age?' Shen thinks, suspicious. Had the girl already started developing her devious character?

. . . . .

1!... 2!... 3!... Launch!!!!!!

The ship successfully takes off from Earth, with Shen and his travel companion, Launch, onboard.

Inside the ship, as it charts through the vastness of space...

"Argh!!"

"I did say to use your gravitational magic on me, but this may be a little—too much," Shen tells the girl hovering above him.

"Don't chicken out! I'm putting a lot of effort here, doing what you requested," Launch shouts.

Pressure! Shen feels the pressure on his body multiply. Unimaginable force—at a visible rate—is pulling down every cell of his body.

His knees give way.

Shen is pummeled to the floor, slumped face-first.

Struggle! He struggles to stand on his legs.

Haaa!!! Breathe in! Breathe out! Taking deep breaths, he gradually succeeds in his endeavor. 'Even though I'm much stronger than I was in the past, I still can't bear her full force...'

. . .

Like that, days turn into weeks. Their destination... Planet Namek. But will the journey go undisturbed?

-Obviously not.

Along the way, they meet a gang of ruffians.

"Mil Clan or whatever your name is—you, more specifically your ship, will be of use to us," Shen states to the three aliens before him.

These thieves—clowns with pointy hats—had announced over their wireless devices for Shen's ship to stop.

They entered Shen's ship and naturally got some sense beaten into them. "You got any problem with my arrangements?"

The three clowns meekly comply. Together, the trio are like a steep staircase in height. Shen imprisons the three and takes their ship inside a Hoi Poi Capsule. It's the latest model, so the capsules can conveniently store objects up to 100 square meters.

They continue on their journey and a month later they arrive at their destination..

A green planet can be seen from the ship's window.. 

"Wow!!" Both Shen and Launch exclaim, Afterall it is their first time seeing a planet other then earth. Shen had previously lived in King Kai's tiny planet, but it is better not to be mentioned. it doesn't count. 

"Ahem!! lets land" As Shen says, they rapidly enter the atmosphere of the planet, making a safe enough landing, though not without some bumps.

The two; man and women, take their first Step on a new planet.. Breathing in the fresh outdoor air after a long month of being stuck inside a metal container.

At this occasion, Shen remembers a quote he heard in his last life, "one step for man is the.... ummm what was the quote again?"

launch shakes her head, disappointed "Don't embarrass yourself."
