93 Future

After solving some misunderstandings plaguing the Satan household, Raditz peacefully spent his night there, after all this was his villa.

The very next morning he visited Scale's family, inspired young Sharpener to train, found that Erasa's family are their neighbours, gave them all autographs and all around had fun messing around.

And just like that, his semi vacation was over and the fated day had finally arrived.

"Mr. Raditz, is this really fine?"

Asked an unsure Trunks while looking at a tiny Raditz standing besides him.

That was Raditz transformed using the transformation technique, and it was an important step in using the time machine.

Not understanding how cute he looked while the size of a pinky, Raditz replied in a professional voice.

"If I don't do this the weight would go beyond the machine's handling capacity."

"Future Bulma managed to pack a lot of stuff in, but the weight limit isn't something she actively worked on."

Shrugging his shoulders Raditz gave an explanation for this behaviour as well.

"She likely didn't have the resources to continue messing around anymore."

"Shame really, that she had to go through all this."

A short silence spread across the morning skies, this was a silence of agreement.

The time travel was taking place early in the day, so only Nappa and Trunks were around, Raditz had already said his goodbyes to his family the night before.

"Mr Raditz, I am sorry.. I couldn't protect everyone."

The tiny Raditz smiled and patted Trunks's shoe to console him.

"It's fine, you did your best and now it's time the me to do my best."

"This isn't a soldier's job anymore, it's the King's duty."

Nappa wholeheartedly agreed to this statement, the queen was such a great person, those androids should be damned, and what better way to save the Queen than by the hands of the king.

*Click*

In the meantime Raditz had activated the remote of the time machine and the thing was slowly beginning to open up.

Silently filling itself with past air that will soon be released into the future, it fully opened it's doors.

*Swish*

The tiny Raditz jumped off the ground and landed straight into the cockpit, taking a seat on the top of the backrest.

Trunks silently gulped and walked in as well, he might not be showing it but he was fearful of returning and finding that his adoptive mother was gone.

Raditz might rage out and destroy the androids as well as the galaxy if that was to happen.

"What's the hold up Trunks, let's go."

Not knowing how scary his image was in Trunks's mind, Raditz told Trunks to snap out of his indecision and get going.

"R-Right!"

Exclaiming involuntarily, Trunks quickly pressed the button and the time machine closed it's glass shell.

Gulping hard, Trunks prayed Bulma would be safe and kickstarted the machine.

*Whooom*

The contraption began floating upwards and soon stopped around 7 feet away from the ground.

"Take care king!"

Nappa saluted Raditz and Raditz nodded back, then the next second the time machine vanished from the face of the earth.

"He's gone."

"To the future huh."

Chewing his words Nappa silently flew out of capsule corporation, he was going to meet Kakarot and learn the difference between Super Saiyan and his new form.

Because before going to the future Raditz did one thing for Nappa, he sat him down and walked around him for a few hours, before putting his hands up and pointing towards Nappa for another dozen hours.

Which somehow seems to have done something to him, Nappa didn't know how, but he had powered up beyond what he thought was possible.

"This potential unlock thing King learnt from that old Namekian is great, I feel so strong already."

"It must be the king's modifications, no way that old Guru could have made me so powerful."

Nappa believed that to be the case and he wasn't far from the truth.

Just like Kami's creation beam was similar to the supreme Kai's creation technique, so was Guru's potential unlock, the technique was quite similar to old Kai's potential unlock.

Although Guru couldn't use the technique it's full potential, due to being extremely old, but Raditz was young and he understood as soon as he found this method, that he could take it beyond a simple touch based boost.

"Ultimate Nappa, that's got a nice ring to it."

This was the name his king gave him after the ritual, he felt that it fit really well with his new powerup.

What he didn't know was he was indeed worthy of this name, he had basically gotten the old Kai's potential unlock due to Raditz amplifying the technique.

For all intents and purposes Nappa was the first ultimate Saiyan, even if he dosen't unlock Super Saiyan for some reason, he can still get stronger in his base.

Basically tapping into Super Saiyan's powers without going Super Saiyan.

*Wooosh*

Flying at vast speeds Nappa rushed through the skies, he could sense the energy signature of Kakarot, and he had a feeling that Kakarot was currently transformed.

"So I am stronger than Kakarot again huh? Hahaha!"

Nappa laughed loudly, he hadn't unlocked Super Saiyan but he had enough S cells for it, using this the potential unlock had pushed him all the up to Goku's level.

As long as he keeps training, he could always maintain this lead, just like ultimate Gohan was stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Goku, Ultimate Nappa was now stronger than Super Saiyan Goku.

As Nappa keeps tapping into more and more of Super Saiyan's amplification, his power will keep on increasing with time.

"Hahaha it's great! Oh before I forget, there's some work for that Satan guy too."

"Let's go after some hard training, Satan can wait."

Unknowingly Nappa had arrived at a turning point in his life, and this one decision of his was the trigger, if he had visited Satan right away, he would have never met his life partner.

But from this one act of pushing back the meeting, he would meet the latest 'challenger' of Raditz, defeating her instantly, and somehow against all odds, they will manage to click.

Nappa and Ranfan was a shock Raditz would later arrive to see, but that was for the future.

And now,

In the future.

*Swish*

A time machine reappeared in the garden of capsule corporation, this was the spot it had previously vanished in, and this was the spot it had reappeared back in.

*Zoooom*

The glass covering slowly opened and the past air escaped the machine, mirroring it's future counterpart.

*Poof*

Transforming back into his real body Raditz jumped out amongst the smoke and escaping air, gently touching down on the out of care garden.

"Mr Brief's and Panchy's ki is gone, Bulma is still alive, a handful of ki signatures are spread across the world."

"This is indeed a doomsday scenario, I don't think Gero had this in mind while creating the androids."

Gero's main purpose was killing Goku not destroying the entire population, he certainly didn't mind doing it but that wasn't his main goal.

The android's might have been overcorrected is the conclusion Raditz arrived at, he had a lot of experience working with Gero's systems, and this was a consistent bug in his design.

Maybe this was the reason the android's went crazy in this timeline, in the past timeline they might have been activated ahead of time, due to the z fighter's almost rushing into Gero's lab.

"But here, he had all the time in the world to program them, and he created monsters."

Still, there was one sliver lining go this situation, if this was a case of overcorrection on Gero's part, Raditz could reverse engineer the android's and fix them.

If he can do this, the Earth might regain some of it's defenders again, too many of those have died recently.
