Chapter 161: A Devil Seeds Chaos.
(Kron-POV)
Now on the lookout, I found that I almost forgot about someone I'd seen prior to the fight with Vegeta, where he was under the influence of Babidi. That woman, I'd seen her in the game, 'Dragon Ball Xenoverse', I finished the first game I recall, though I never got to finish the second game as I ended up in this world.
'Her Name? I remember it was either Towa or Mira, Mira sounds womanlier than the former though… Bah, anyway, that might be the reason Dabura was as strong as he was? So, the real question is why hasn't someone come? If those two exist, it would mean that the time patrollers also exist. But, I was never stopped, I've changed much in this here timeline though I was never opposed by anyone else. Perhaps they are indisposed or something and Towa and Mira slipped through into this timeline as a lucky coincidence.' I thought to myself, fully transformed as a 'Super Saiyan Three' or 'Primal', where Vegeta also was transformed though he was saying goodbye to his wife and two kids. Qrow stood by, Ruby by his side as she too was to follow Yang's mother, Summer rose and Tai Xiao Long also made an appearance along with Nora and Ren, they brought their own kids too that I have as of yet not learned the names of, they arrived with Bulma, Roshi, Launch, Kali and others from Kami house, turtle included.
This was going to be a dangerous battle, I unlike some of the others saw that evacuating the civilians was a noble purpose, some of the Z-fighters seen it as a waste, that they could be revived but that mindset was, it was a moot point I was making anyway as some had died already, but I wouldn't see my kids die if Super Buu would to appear, and use his genocide technique, that would only anger me more than the mindset of some the others.
"Hey, so we're going now. The ship captain has just called me, says the ship is ready for take-off. You mind taking us there?" Bulma asked, a phone in hand as she walked towards me. Bulma… yeah, I'd been a fan of her longer hair, for which she still had, though in a tight-knotted ponytail, she was also wearing her business attire as opposed to her usual mechanic fatigues that she wore the previous day, she went to speak once more at my stalling at asking her question.
"You alright, I've also tried getting mother and father to come too but they are being stubborn-"
"-Easy dear, if you want, I'll go get them, knock them all out and then-" she shushed me, waving her hands in front of me frantically, replying.
"-N-No! Don't do that." I smirked, replying as I caressed her right arm, exposed skin which her gaze turned to the sides as if she was embarrassed others were watching. I replied.
"Tell them you don't need the ship; I will take all of you using 'Instant Transmission'. Will be faster, will also give me the rest of the day spending time with the kids, seeing how Winter and Weiss are getting on and say my goodbyes to you, Blake and Pyrrha. Speaking of Blake, she seemed intent that Salem might be our shot at getting rid of Majin Buu, do me a favor and keep my secret-" She zipped at her mouth, smirking as she interrupted, a whisper at my left ear as she tip toed up.
"-Wives remember? I can keep my handsome husband's secrets, no problem. Now what is it?" I replied quietly, noting that Dende was all the way on the other side of the Lookout coincidentally, good for me as his big ears would no doubt hear.
"I have reason to believe that Majin Buu could become an ally, if certain conditions are met. Though to go about this, I have no idea how to go about it except for fighting the guy-" She stood back, a look of concern as she interrupted me.
"-You do remember that this same monster was responsible for an untold number of deaths, then is this why you've not charged in? Dealt with the threat, like you dealt with Cell, that alien Bojack? And speaking of that alien Bojack, I've seen that alien woman, eyes glued to you ever since you'd left that training chamber, I was about to tell Pyrrha and Blake, to help me deal with her but I remember-" I grabbed her shoulders with both hands, pulling her forward, enveloping her in a hug.
"-Hey, focus my big-brained sexy… scientist, you didn't answer me, I will repeat. Do you want me to take you and the others, to Sadala instead of you guys wasting time on a spaceship?" she paused, pulling away, eyes glaring playfully. She replied.
"Fine then, I'll get in touch with the flight deck at East City Branch, let them know. Now, while I do so, say goodbye to your kids and some of the others." she already begun dialing on her scroll, pacing away, while I headed for Blake, to tell her I expected her to come, Salem as well, no need for her magical know-how to empower Buu accidentally, there was already an unchecked demon scientist doing who knows what around here unchecked.
(Gohan-POV)
The training become much easier, the sword training and the handling of the Z-sword become smoother, almost like an extension of himself. Gohan liked the handling of a blade, he would ask Trunks from the future to help him pick out something after this ordeal. Kibito returned an hour ago, stating also that Kron and Vegeta's Ki had been felt by the Kai, they must be finished with the hyperbolic time-chamber.
"Alright Gohan, you've been training hard by yourself, you've almost mastered the blade. Now, it is time for you to use it, to cut, block and slash through my designated targets. I will help you with this of course, my abilities will make getting strong and durable resources for you to use the Z-sword on as easy as your people breath. After your lunch that is, Kibito has gathered much." Shin spoke, as Kibito nodded, adding.
"-Yes, I had avoided your friends and instead headed to an abandoned city, I found it to be void of people which was either the monster Majin Buu's doing or that the local population had fled. But seeing that they left a large resource we can tap into, I merely gathered up everything and placed it in this here magic bag that I conjured. I would not normal consort to stealing but I hazard that the owners would not be around if we don't gather everything you need to grow as strong as possible." Kibito seemed a little off, uncomfortable from the stern gaze of the supreme Kai, to dissolve the tension Gohan laughed, clapping twice, he replied.
"hey! That is a good idea, after all the food will just rot if not used, this way the people will be helping me… uh, unknowingly but all the help is appreciated, good thinking Kibito." the larger man sighed thought seemed to be waiting as the supreme Kai responded next.
"Normally I wouldn't condone it, but these are trying times. Your resourcefulness is noted Kibito, I will do all I can to thank the people of earth, as well as also get you revived so that you may continue to serve me in a more… alive sense. Now! Eat up Gohan, I will be mediating, to see what Majin Buu is currently up to on your home planet. As well as to see the general state of those that call earth home." he walked away and found a rock to sit upon, while Kibito remained, he threw the magic bag he packed full of goodies and Gohan begun to pour- Kibito shouted-
"-Hah! Damn Kibito! You grabbed- uh- A-A -lot of-" Gohan was covered, head to toe in food, from healthy things that you'd normally have to cook, canned goods, cake which upon been removed from the bag had fallen to the ground, it was chaos! Gohan sighed while covered… at least he had so many choices and half of what's here he could easily cook with his Ki, the other half… garbage, cakes, fast food and other bad stuff he wasn't allowed to eat when he was growing up, he would sort it out with clones now while he ate a good meal, he also needed to reply to Kibito who looked towards Shin, seemed he was waiting to be glared at again but Shin was already mediating.
(Towa-POV)
"Should we go after Goku?" Mira asked, he stood nearby as they stood on the moon of planet earth. Towa laughed, humming a reply, watching another of the earthlings fly by in those spaceships, flying somewhere unknown to her.
"Not yet Mira, as far as I'm aware, there are others down there, on earth. A lot more fighters, this timeline is a trove of untapped energy, but we've to beware of Majin Buu, he is also in play. I'll be gathering as much energy as possible, you will stick close. Keep an eye on anyone sniffing around, meaning the supreme Kai, his aides or if he's active, the god of destruction. Will interfere when the time is right, have no doubt, Mira.
"...I have to wait, can I not fight the interlopers, the unknowns of history?" Mira said, narrowed eyes but he turned from her, folding his muscled arms, as Towa bit her lip while checking him out.
"For now, no." Mira grunted and Towa grinned from his little tantrum. She focused back on the earth.
"Will find somewhere on the earth, get close as possible to the fighting. There, I can gather some more potent energy, while also being ready for when Super Buu should appear. Then, I'll empower him, and we will reap the rewards." she saw Mira stir, but besides that he didn't reply, though she could feel his excitement, they were explorers in a whole different world, they would make use of it while they remained stuck here.
"Come Mira, I will use some magic-" she waved her hand, her form took on a more humanoid appearance, the same went with Mira, they could now blend in on earth as an earthling, she took a few strands of her hair, seeing that she now had black hair, her hand pigmentation no longer its deep blue but that of a west city earthling.
She then placed a hand on Mira, they reappeared on earth in their previous position. Nearby, the scorched remains of her brother, or what remained of him laid within a large on in the ground, she also took back what she could from him into her, her magic swelled a little as the power returned to her reserves.
"Now my dear Mira, we need to get ourselves… 'saved'" she smirked, searching for a large congregation of people.
(Raditz-POV)
"Your annoying, looking on like some love-sick puppy-" Zangya retorted angrily, snarling at him quietly, there were others who'd hear them if they went and argued loudly.
"-I'm not, besides shouldn't you go and kiss that blonde loudmouth you've been seeing? Or was she blue-haired. Well, she is over there, or well she was but you hid away. Boo Hoo, you got your tail cut off, you should have made kiss-faces at them and not bother me. Bugger off before I knock you unconscious." Raditz took off, seeing her this angry was a sure-fire way for him to become a punching bag to her, something he'd felt a few times when they would train with one another.
With his brother, Kakarot and Piccolo in the mystic time chamber, Raditz would wait for a chance of his own in there. Still not used to having his tail cut-off, he itched annoyed at his rear, before heading inside the main building, to get something to eat.
Raditz ate for an hour, with Yamcha bearing witness to his eating habits, he missed an opportunity to get closer to Launch, as she left with Kakarot's wife and the others not fighting, he needed to find something to do but staying away from Kron and Vegeta at the moment, he didn't want Kron judging him for falling easily to Babidi and then Vegeta would insult him, call him something along the lines like a tailless ape or his usual moniker, 'weakling'.
"Oi, Namekian! I will be heading out, I've got to go find somewhere I can train, I'll appreciate a heads up, you're a mind reader, so send me a mind message when that blob of pink fat makes a move, keep an eye out, yeah." he took to the skies nearby as the pointy-eared pipsqueak turned his gaze at him, the boy replied timidly.
"S-Sure thing, I'll keep an out, as you say. Do keep in mind that if Majin Buu were to run into you at your current level, you'd be either destroyed or absorbed right? So, you keep in mind that getting in range of him could prove devastating to your health. Also, don't go blowing up any towns or cities, even though they some of them are evacuated or in the process of, I won't condone it-" Raditz landed nearby to the teen, staring down at him with a smirk, Dende matched his gaze a little more defiantly than his meek appearance would show, Raditz stretched forth a hand and petted him on the head, he chuckled at the annoyance shown on the teens face, still shorter than Raditz though.
"Fine kid, I know how to play nice, even have my own training chamber, so no there won't be no trouble on my end. Keep me up to date and I'll play nice, so keep an eye on the birdy, you hear." he floated upwards a second later before falling backwards, he blasted off north to go train, not too far from the lookout but far enough so he wouldn't see Vegeta scowling at him or Zangya staring longingly at a married man.
Not too far away, Raditz set up his capsule ship, one much like Vegeta's but it's only use he had for it was training inside, unlike Vegeta living in it. He got inside and headed for the chamber, ready to continue his training and starve off some of the boredom he has from standing around on the lookout.
(Kron-POV)
Another few hours passed by, The room still occupied by Goku and Piccolo as they continued their training, I continued to contemplate what was going to happen next, as things continued to spiral pout of the supposed 'canon', that of Dabura being a badass and then his sister, from which I could faintly recall from the games, as I finished the first game and was onto the second one, the- what were they- uh oh right, the time patrol Corps. Whelp, if they were to be involved, I and those in this timeline could find ourselves being erased or something, who knew at this point. Though I've done my best to cultivate strength and more importantly, comradeship between those from Remnant and those here on Earth, that is, Dragon ball's earth.
"I mean… that should count for something-" Pyrrha weas by my side, she moaned in her sleep, lying atop my fold legs while I idly stroked or played with her long hair locks, or if I felt like doing so, fondling her out of eyeshot from others.
"Kron, another day is almost gone by, twelve more hours until Goku and Piccolo leave the room." Dende said while floating in front of us, Pyrrha stirred from her nap as I replied, my hands quickly finding Pyrrha's as she held them in hers, my eyes on Dende.
"Right Dende, thanks. And what's the story on the population, are they all gone or, do some still linger?" I asked, as Pyrrha stood and floated down to head inside the lookout main chamber, perhaps to find a bed, Dende took a moment to look away, down to the earth in concentration before answering.
"I'd say there are still some stragglers. But the vast majority have gone to the planet Sadala nearby. Though something has me worried, I just seen two earthlings, unknown since but they landed in east city, close enough should they take a flight out to either Majin Buu or Raditz, who has moved a little closer to where Majin Buu is located. A woman with black hair and a man who looks like her brother have landed, they have gotten dangerously close to Majin Buu. But when I go to telepathically tell them that Buu is that way, I cannot even connect to them. I should just send you or Vegeta down there, to warn these two." I answered, stretching a bit.
"I could go have a look if you want, help me sense the area they are in Dende, I'll go now. See that they don't get themselves killed." Dende placed a hand on me, he focused ass he replied.
"Alright, go on. I've locked on to the area where they are in, go see that they don't get themselves killed, there is also a boy nearby, heading straight for Majin Buu and then Hercule himself." I nodded, focusing myself before I teleported, landing upon the ground nearby as I took in the sight of a beautiful woman and her boyfriend.
"You two, you shouldn't be going this way. You do know that Majin Buu is in that direction. I'd think you two would know who that is-" suddenly, that large male had charged forward, he landed a punch to my face, knocking backwards a little bit. Seeing that I was still in my 'Super Saiyan Primal' form, I took the hit in stride though I noted he was stronger than me at present, at least until I got serious. I now noticed this warrior, who was about to charge forward when the woman called out to him.
"Make sure you don't kill this one Mira, I'd very much like to… examine him." the girl who I supposed was Towa smirked, she wore a scientist jacket, taking a seat nearby while Mira engage with me, our hand to hand blows matching one another in a heated exchange.
I aimed a quick Ki-blast towards the girl, which Mira disengaged with me briefly before blocking the blast, he flickered back forward, a angry snarl on his mug, he and I traded a flurry of blows once more. The exchange lasted as long as five minutes as buildings were raised by one of us slamming into them, or as Mira would launch dark-red Ki-blasts to try to wound me, his power was slowly getting higher during the exchange, our melee blows ended when I decided to try and gather some information, meaning I let Mira pin me down harshly against a building.
It was a little hard to breath at this point, but Mira continued to strong-arm me into the concrete and metal structure that continued to shatter and collapse at the mans continued choke hold. The woman, Towa seeing that the brutal exchange had ended had floated forwards, she seemed to have spawned a spear from out of nowhere as she came close by. Towa then spoke as she placed a hand on Mira's left shoulder.
"Easy Mira, I would like to question this one, before I conduct some examinations of his body. Loosen your grip on his throat my dear-" she shoved her spear through my shoulder, as Mira placed his hand that no longer wrapped around my throat to my other shoulder, he kneed me in the stomach and laid out some other hits with his free hand, and I took these blows with a wince and a shout, it did hurt but I could handle harsher.
"Now my dear, your name is…" She looked at me, probing me to answer.
"...Kron-"
"-You understand that I've some questions for you. First things first, where did you come from and how did you come to be here?" She smirked, thinking she had the power here, I replied though, so she would loosen her own lips with her own reason being here.
"I'm from the planet Vegeta-" Towa interrupted, as Mira launched another fist into my gut.
"-And I suppose you survived your planet being destroyed am I right? You shouldn't be alive, no not at all that is, unless this is but some of the work done by those two-" I spoke up then, as Mira pushed forward on my shoulder to try to shut me up when Towa hummed, causing Mira to instead let me speak.
"-And what is your goal here-" she didn't even entertain me to answer instead, she snapped her finger when and Mira laid in a few more hits to my stomach, she laughed while adding.
"Oh no dear, you'll get nothing from us, you're a little smarter than any Saiyan I've ever meet, besides well… a certain someone. We're here, as explorers from unknown existence to you and your kind, demons to some, but you may call us by our names… for the remainder of the time you'll have alive… Don't fret though Saiyan, your DNA will be appropriately harvested by me, so I can study you long after your dead. Mira…" she turned, Mira placed a hand upon my chest, his Ki gathering as he looked on without remorse, charging his Ki. Seeing that I would get nothing from them while being held at Ki-point, I powered up quickly as I used the 'Wrath State' in conjunction with 'Super Saiyan Primal' and headbutted Mira, while pulling Towa's spear out while elbowing her away. Seeing that I wouldn't get nothing from the two of them while they had the belief that they were superior, I would just beat it out of them, starting with the male.
