Dragon Ball: Mori's tales

Mori is seen drifting in space, deep in thought. "That energy from the Dovahhkin... it's potent, way beyond anything I've felt before. How did such a powerful race go extinct?" He rubs his chin, eyes glinting as he reflects on the power gap he's observed in his battles with the Saiyans. "I'll only use that energy if Vegeta pulls out that form again. SSJ4… that's a problem," he mutters.

Mori lands on the moon, still contemplating. "Goku and Gohan—there's more to their strength. They haven't fully unleashed their power in SSJ3, and that form alone pushed me close to my limits. But SSJ3… it's not perfect. It's powerful, but it drains them too fast. Vegeta's SSJ4, though, that's flawless. His Ki control is on another level. It's as if he's mastered every drop of energy."

Mori stretches his arms, smirking. "Too bad he doesn't train with others—his results could have been even greater. Goku and Gohan, on the other hand, they sync so well, like a natural flow. Fighting them together... that's dangerous." He chuckles. "But I'll teach them not to hold back. This time, they won't have a choice."

He focuses on Bulma and Chi-Chi's life signatures, surprised to find them together. With a quick thought, he teleports to their location. The two women are sitting in the garden of Capsule Corp, enjoying some tea when Mori suddenly appears, startling them.

"Mori! What are you doing here?" Bulma asks, raising an eyebrow.

Mori smiles under his mask. "I need your help, both of you."

Chi-Chi crosses her arms. "And what exactly do you need our help with?"

Mori explains, "The Saiyans—Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan—they have a bad habit of not going all out from the start of a fight. That could be dangerous if a real threat emerges."

Bulma nods, understanding his point. "So what do you want us to do?"

Mori grins. "I need you to arrange a group outing, something that gets the whole family together. After you've all settled in, I'll step in and… 'kidnap' you both." He laughs at the confused expressions on their faces. "I'll force their hand. If they don't go all out from the start, I'll pretend to take you two away for good."

Chi-Chi and Bulma exchange glances before nodding. "We'll help," Chi-Chi says. "But you better not take it too far."

"Don't worry. It's just a little lesson," Mori assures them before vanishing back to the moon.

A few days later, the Son and Brief families are on a group trip, just as Bulma and Chi-Chi had planned. Everyone seems relaxed—Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, and Goten are enjoying themselves with casual sparring in the distance, while Bulma and Chi-Chi chat under a tree.

Suddenly, the atmosphere changes. A powerful energy spike disrupts the peace. Mori teleports in, smirking beneath his mask as he hovers above the group. The Saiyans immediately tense up, recognizing the familiar energy.

"Looks like we're having an uninvited guest," Vegeta growls, already clenching his fists.

Before they can react, Mori makes his move. He grabs Bulma and Chi-Chi, lifting them into the air. "If you want them back, come at me with everything you've got!" he shouts, flaring his Ki.

Goku and Gohan exchange a glance, immediately transforming into Super Saiyan 3. Their golden hair flows down their backs, the immense surge of energy causing the ground beneath them to crack. Vegeta wastes no time either, powering up into his Super Saiyan 4 form. His transformation sends shockwaves through the area as his black hair and red fur signal the primal power within.

Mori's eyes narrow behind his mask. "They didn't hesitate this time," he thinks, impressed. He releases Bulma and Chi-Chi, teleporting them safely out of harm's way before focusing on the three Saiyans. "Now... let's see how strong you really are."

The three Saiyans charge at Mori, their collective power shaking the very earth. Goku and Gohan lead with synchronized punches, while Vegeta flanks with a swift kick aimed at Mori's side. Mori dodges effortlessly at first, his movements smooth and calculated. But the overwhelming force of the three Super Saiyans quickly forces him onto the defensive.

Mori blocks Gohan's strike, only for Vegeta to land a punch to his gut. Goku follows up with a fierce roundhouse kick, sending Mori flying backward. He flips in mid-air, catching himself before charging back at them. "Their synergy is impressive... they're fighting as one," he thinks, gritting his teeth.

Vegeta lands a devastating punch, knocking Mori into the ground. But before the trio can press their advantage, Mori suddenly taps into the Dovahhkin energy. His body radiates a purple aura as he stands, power flooding through him. "I didn't want to use this… but you leave me no choice."

The surge of energy is immense, catching the Saiyans off guard. "What is that?!" Gohan exclaims as Mori's power continues to rise.

Mori smirks, feeling the overwhelming strength course through him. He vanishes, reappearing behind Goku and landing a vicious punch to the back of his head, sending him crashing into the ground. Gohan rushes in to help, but Mori teleports again, dodging his attacks with ease.

Vegeta, now in his SSJ4 form, charges at Mori with incredible speed, but Mori meets his attack head-on. Their fists collide, causing shockwaves to ripple through the air. "You've gotten stronger," Mori admits, gritting his teeth as their powers clash. "But it's still not enough!"

With a sudden burst of energy, Mori sends Vegeta flying backward, the force of the blow shaking the landscape. Gohan, now furious, powers up even further, his Super Saiyan 3 form blazing with golden energy. He rushes at Mori, unleashing a flurry of rapid punches and kicks. For a moment, Mori struggles to keep up, barely managing to block the onslaught.

But then, with a burst of purple Ki, Mori grabs Gohan by the arm and hurls him into the air. Before Gohan can recover, Mori appears above him, slamming him back down into the ground.

Goku, regaining his footing, watches as Mori's power continues to rise. "He's not like anyone we've faced before… this energy, it's... otherworldly," he thinks, realizing that they're in for the toughest fight of their lives.

Despite the overwhelming odds, the Saiyans regroup. "We have to work together," Goku says, wiping blood from his lip. Vegeta grunts in agreement, and Gohan nods, determination burning in his eyes.

Mori watches them carefully. "Let's see what you've really got," he says, readying himself for the final clash.
