12 Chapter 12: 3 Wishes

"Yeah."

I spoke.

Moori then reached his hands out while everyone around took a few steps backwards.

"Takkaraput pop porunga pupiritt paro!"

He shouted.

Yellow beams projected from his palms as the Dragon Balls began to glow a bright luminescent orange-ish red hue.

Waiting a few moments,

A tiny horned white worm began to grow larger and larger while the sky began to blackened.

As the horned worm matured, it grew prehensile hands and humanoid arms while its scales shifted from white to a shimmering green.

Slowly but surely, it began to tower over all things in the surrounding area.

"Holly Cow! That thing is bigger than anything I've ever seen! This guy makes Shenron look like a small snake." Exclaimed Goku, to which, I couldn't disagree with him.

Porunga… he looked majestic. The only other word to describe such a grandiose being in a singular adjective would've been divine.

"YOU HAVE COLLECTED ALL 7 DRAGON BALLS. AND NOW, AS IT IS WRITTEN, THINK WISELY AND I SHALL GRANT YOU 3 WISHES WITHIN MY POWER."

All of the Namakins looked at the dragon in reverence, bowing down on one knee out of respect for the being while Moori looked at the imposing entity with a whiff of respect.

"Visitors, I would like to introduce you to Porunga. His name Translates to the Dragon of Love in our language. Tell me your wishes so that we may pay a portion of the debt we as a collective owe. But please, while you make your wishes, know that the dragon is very impatient." He said, respectfully nodding at me and Goku.

"Right…"

I replied.

"What are you gonna wish for?"

Goku whispered, nudging my shoulder.

Taking a few moments for myself, I began to wonder, what should I actually wish for. I knew the first wish, but I had two more afterward.

Being able to have almost any wish granted to me… It was something I used to dream about as a kid… Now, the opportunity I had been waiting for my entire life had arrived… Aforesaid life where none of this was real.

Now, in a place where it was, I needed to be wise. I needed my wishes to be something permanent that would last me for the rest of my life. I didn't with 100% certainty know what I had ahead of me in this world, but firstly, it was wise to get rid of my traces in case anyone wanted to use me again.

"For my first wish… I want every trace of my being to be erased from existence."

Hearing my request, Moori glanced at me and smiled.

"That's a strange request… but if that's your wish, then it is something that can be granted. But before I translate, do you want to be remembered by loved ones and be physically seen by people?"

With his comment, my heart skipped a beat, realizing how easily my words could get misconstrued.

But before I began to stumble my words, readjusting my wish, I noticed he was still smiling.

"I'm just teasing, earthling Trunks. The great Porunga can detect the intentions of one's mind while also taking in its own creative liberties. Said liberties aren't often negative."

"He scared you for a second, didn't he."

Goku chuckled. While I stared blankly.

Seeing piccolo, I didn't know Namikians were capable of humor.

Proceeding with the wish, Moori spoke his native tongue to the dragon.

After a few moments of speaking, the dragon's eyes glowed red. As they were dimming, my body was surrounded by a white ambiance that outlined it, then gradually disappeared as quickly as it arrived.

"ALRIGHT. YOUR FIRST WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. ALL TRACES OF YOU ARE EFFECTIVELY GONE AS OF THIS CURRENT MOMENT. STATE YOUR SECOND WISH."

While the being finished its announcement, Goku glanced at me,unsettled. Walking circles around me and analyzing my

physique Goku voiced his thoughts, placing his hand on his chin.

"Hey… Do you feel anything… Different?"

"No…Why?"

When my wish was granted, the only thing I felt was a slight tingly sensation around my body. Nothing else.

Because of Goku's great level of confusion, I became confused as well.

"The reason I'm asking is because I can't sense your Life imprint anymore. I can't sense your only Ki at all, really. It's almost like… You disappeared after that light thingy disappeared." He concluded.

What was he talking about? I could sense my energy just fine. I could sense his just fine. My wish was to get rid of all traces of my being. Did he only make my Ki disappear?

I knew that he would take liberties in wish granting, but what did that entail if he was supposedly taking my intentions into account?

I needed to test out what exactly changed about me. To do so, I had to check on my main area of concern.

Grabbing Noir from my back, I punctured my finger tip with its point and waited… But no blood came out.

'Did he just make my blood invisible?'

Wiping my finger across my face, I felt no wet sensation, which was strange. It made me believe that I no longer had blood momentarily, which didn't make sense.If that was the case, then how was my body still able to function?

Making a deeper incision on my palm, I winced in pain… But still, there was nothing.

"That doesn't hurt?"

Goku asked, looking like he was slightly squirming at this display.

"It hurts. A lot… But there's no blood."

I was stunned, to say the least.

Moori, seeing my confusion, went on to explain.

"You may be curious as to what just happened, yes?"

I replied with a nod which prompted him to go on.

"If I were to infer, Porunga has removed your ability to be tracked, as per your request. It seems as if you no longer bleed like a normal person. What's most likely happening to you is that your vitality is disintegrating upon exfoliation. If you look at your hand, you can see that your wound is mending with a new layer of healthy skin." He then noticed me looking at my hand.

Looking at my palm, I realized my self-inflicted injury looked to be healed, leaving behind no new markings… in fact, the minor scars that I had on my palm prior had vanished as if I had some sort of minor healing factor.

"Why does it still hurt if you said it was mended?"

I asked the man. He then walked over to me, grabbing my hand and flipped it over.

"Hmmm… It looks like although your skin has recovered, you're still bleeding internally."

Closing his eyes, the man focused his energy into my palm, slowly relieving me of pain with a cold green light.

"You still have a pulse, which confirms my previous suspicions. We Namekians have good hearing, so I can hear your blood's circulation."

"Then… That's good."

I uttered.

From his description and Goku's diagnosis, I gathered that my body had effectively gained the property of a camouflaged band-aid. But what did that mean for the blood that Gero had already presumably collected? I needed more clarity on the wish.

"I'm still concerned, though. The reason I made that wish was because someone had my blood. Did my wish help my situation at all?"

If Gero had my DNA and went on to create Cell, I was prepared to go into the Hyperbolic Time in order to train my ass off for a couple of years. But what if… What if he got stronger than me somehow because he had my blood? What if he had access to the Adephagia blade and shield? That just wasn't a chance I was willing to take.

Those two skills were my ultimate abilities that I had created to absorb an enemy's Ki. I even almost died in the creation of the shield. I knew of their potential, and I had plans to expand upon them.

If Cell had the… If anyone had my techniques and somehow mastered them further than I had, my survival wasn't guaranteed.

Moori caught on to my worry and resumed his explanation.

"I understand your frustration, my friend. I wouldn't find comfort in someone having a part of me with them. But there is no need to fret. Your traces have been deleted. I made sure to be very specific in my phrasing of the wish. I told Porunga that you wanted to be impossible to track. With a little bit of verbal gymnastics, I stipulated that you wanted to get rid of everything that would lead another to you, all in one wish. If you look down, you'll notice something." He said, pointing to my feet.

Lifting my right leg, I realized that I had left behind no footprint, even though I was basically stepping in mud.

"*sigh*"

With that sigh, I could finally put my mind at ease.

"Thank you, Moori. I really mean that. You don't know it, but you might have just saved my life."

I said, putting my hand on his shoulder in gratification.

"Fascinating, isn't it?"

He laughed nervously which I caught on to instantly.

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

Rubbing his head, he confessed his worries.

"Yes, actually. Rather, it's a revelation that has only just now come to light. I realized that because you can no longer be tracked, you may no longer have the ability to write. But like I said, your intentions were most likely heard."

With his statements, I didn't get angry. If those were the drawbacks to my wish, then the good definitely outweighed the bad.

"That's fine. I didn't plan on becoming a writer. We're fine if the wish took care of the thing that I was concerned about."

"If your satisfaction is upheld, then all is well."

He smiled.

"No problem at all. Thank you again for your help."

I said, returning his same sentiment.

"Young man, because of you eliminating Frieza, you have saved a countless number of lives throughout the entirety of the universe, including ours. I'm certain that after the hypothetical destruction of Earth, Frieza would have made his return, either eradicating, or enslaving the people of this planet. I thank you. You as well, Goku."

"WHAT IS YOUR SECOND WISH? I WANT TO SLEEP. THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG." Grumbled Porunga, drawing the attention of all which made my head towards the big-ass steroid dragon.

What he said had surprised me. I had foggy memories of the wish-granting Dragons of my past. I had forgotten how… colorful their personalities were.

"Ah… It looks like the Great Porunga is ready for your next wish." He invited me with a smile.

My second wish? All I needed was the first one… when I thought about it critically. If I wanted to get stronger, I just had to fight. If I wanted money, I would just have to work. There were very few things that could enhance my life… But when I thought back to my earlier thought process about making permanent wishes, there was another thing I could wish for that would enrich my lifestyle.

I knew of different timelines with Legendary Super Saiyans, Super Namekians, and Gods. I was in the main cannon now, but since this was my real life now, there was so much out there that was unknown to me.

I wouldn't have to worry about much now, but what about when I did have to later on? Wouldn't it have been responsible to prepare and make investments now? To do that, I had to fish in my pool of memories. When I did, Dragon ball content played in my head, vividly.

Out of all the Dragon Ball content I absorbed, Super Hero was the freshest in my mind. In that movie, Piccolo unlocked his potential with the Dragon Balls. Gohan told me that I had a lot of potential. Coming from him, that meant something. Today, I would use his mentor's method to further myself.

"Moori… For my second wish, I want every bit of my genetic potential to be unlocked, down to every last DNA strand within me."

Moori looked at me in perplexity.

"You want your potential unlocked?"

"Yeah. I do."

"Are you sure? Recently, I've been practicing a technique that would have a similar effect?"

I was aware of why he was hesitant.

Moori was anointed Guru after the previous died.

Judging by his line of questioning, he probably had the ability to unlock potential himself. But seeing that piccolo received an entirely new transformation, that line of logic persuaded me to think that the powers of dragons were better optimized in their works compared to their creators.

"Yeah… I am."

Hesitantly, Moori began to speak his native tongue to the Dragon.

Once again, Porunga's eyes glowed bright red.

As they dimmed, I felt an odd tingling sensation throughout my body.

Then, after a few seconds, I felt an odd electrical sensation around my lower back.

"*rip*"

All of the bones in my spine pop like bubble wrap, as if it had been years since I had a stretch. My shoulders, back, and legs felt like they all extended.

My equilibrium… It felt as if it had somehow improved.

Prior, it was like I had been walking around drunk for my entire life. But now… I was sober. I felt like I could think more clearly.

'I feel… Different.'

My joints felt as if they just had a fresh oil change, making me feel far more flexible.

"Trunks! Your butt! Y-You have a tail now!"

Goku exclaimed. He was a lot louder than usual. It was strange. It wasn't like he was screaming in my ears, but he had gotten so loud that I reflexively covered my ears with my palms..

Turning my head, I realized that a royal purple tail had shot out of my pants… And with my will, I could move it. I could feel the wind blowing on it, providing me with sensations I had never felt before.

'It's weird…Is it supposed to be this purple? Heck, is it even supposed to be purple?'

I thought as I swayed the new appendage from left to right.

Goku observed the spectacle with marvel. I didn't know what possessed him, but he then grabbed a hold of my hair like a newborn toddler, discovering how to use his hands.

"Why the hell are you pulling my hair like I'm a goddam toy, Goku?" I asked, inwardly irradiated.

"Because it looks more spiky now. I thought it was gonna be sharp."

"So you just grab sharp objects with your bare hands now?"

I asked, to which he let go and continued to make observations.

"You kinda look like my brother now. But, his hair at the front was weird V shape like Vegeta's. Your hair is kind of straight right here." He said, gesturing to his hairline.

He was right. My hair did change and was a lot wilder. Its color was as dark as the fur on my tail now. It looked thicker too. A few shorter locs even hung over my shoulders as if I was a purple Super Saiyan 4.

"Also…I think you're a little taller than me now."

Goku added as he stood up straight.

I was perplexed. When my wish was granted, I had only expected a rise in my power level. I did feel stronger, but that wasn't all. The vessel in which I used to carry my Ki had expanded from the size of a bowl, to a full-on river.

I had no idea what that meant in terms of my strength, but my guess was that I now had a lot more stamina in drawn-out battles.

I was also a lot more muscular now. I could see it through my hoodie. My wish had made me feel as if I had just broken out of a cocoon that I didn't even realize I was in for my entire life. With it came the increase of proficiency in all 5 of my senses.

As the wind blew, I could hear the grass whistling.

I could see ant-looking bugs crawling up trees hundreds of feet away. I could smell the freshly fertilized dirt I stepped on.

These new feelings were almost enough to cause me sensory overload.

It was different from the extended sense that Ki gave an individual. Those only allowed an individual to increase their reflexes and sense the presence of life. It felt far more abstract compared to the tangible feeling I felt now.

"How does it feel?"

Goku asked, too distracted by my tail to look me in the eye.

His voice caused me to flinch again. Everything was just so loud.

"My potential getting unlocked? Alive."

"That sounds nice, but I was asking about the tail. How does it feel to have your tail back?"

He asked with wonder and astonishment in his tone.

"Well, I wasn't born with one. It feels weird… Like having another arm, or a really long hand with only one finger."

I expressed this while activating my Ki shield around my tail, just in case the person beside me got excited and tried to grab it with too much force.

"What? I'm confused now. How do you have a tail then? I thought we all came out with one."

Goku asked, to which I could only respond by shrugging my shoulders. His guess was as good as mine.

"As you have requested, your potential has been released. But because of the specificity of your wish, not only did you unlock your latent potential, but you've awakened the powers of your Ancestors. Their traits have been awakened in you." Moori concluded.

"What… What does that even mean?"

I asked. My ancestors? I was a half-breed. Was he referring to the Saiyan or the Human ones? If he meant both, then what would it mean to receive either of their locked DNA? Did humans have anything special hidden in their genetic code? Did Saiyans?

"From what I'm hearing, your people seem to be born with tails, but that trait has skipped with your generation, correct?"

"Yeah. My dad and his dad were born with theirs."

"Then it seems as if your recessive genes have been awakened. I don't know much about your species, but this theory would also make sense if you consider your change in physicality and your new striking eye color. If your paternal figure still has the pleasure of being in the land of the living, then I would suggest asking them for more information regarding your origin."

Eye color? My paternal figure?

Again l, I was a half-breed. Were these traits from Saiyan side that I didn't know about? Were there traits to my human side? Those questions that I now had, made it tempting to spend my last wish on, but I resisted the urge.

Goku curiously gave me another appraisal.

"What do ya know? They did change color."

"What color are they now?"

I asked, raising a brow of curiosity.

"Well, where your eyes used to be purple, they're yellow. They kinda look like shiny stones."

Goku added.

"NOW IS TIME FOR YOUR FINAL WISH. STATE IT SO THAT I MAY REST." The Dragon groaned, which made my still adapting ears go haywire, but I kept my composure.

'My final wish.'

My potential was unlocked. I could no longer be tracked. That was already more than I needed for me to cement myself in this world. But there was just one more wish left that I needed to make before I could sit back and leisurely train for the next 3 years.

Before I could open my mouth to make my last wish, I was interrupted.

"Trunks?"

Goku announced, tapping my shoulder.

"Hmm?"

"If you're not gonna do anything with that last wish, could I have it?" He asked, sounding slightly embarrassed.

"Why?"

"Well, it's just that, seeing you with a tail, it's kind of bringing back some old memories of when I had mine. It makes me miss it, ya know?"

"You want me to spend the last wish bringing your tail back back?" I asked with a confused look.

To be honest, it was frustrating to have grown a tail.

Because of this, I would now have to ask for Father's guidance on controlling the form. He was the only one who knew how.

These were the issues that came with having a tail. If Goku had his and we both decided to aim our heads upward because the sky looked pretty, then there wouldn't be any life remaining on the planet.

"I don't think-"

Before I finished, he manically cut me off.

"Come on? You already used two of the wishes. It's only fair that I get one. On top of that, I did bring you here after all."

"Goku… I didn't even want this tail.You heard Moori say that I had the power of my ancestors. That's the only reason it grew back."

Seeing that Goku actually wanted his tail back slightly frustrated me. Although it was fair to say that he was owed a wish, he was being irresponsible.

"What if you turn into a great ape? You know how strong you would be if you lost control?"

"Of course I do. But it's not like I'll use it. Super Saiyan is better, anyway. Even if I do turn into one, you'll be able to stop me with Super Saiyan."

"Yeah… But what if you turn Super Saiyan on top of being an ape?"

With my statement, Goku's eyes widened at the idea. He knew how strong a Great Ape could get. That stacked on top of Super Saiyan was too much for even me to handle.

If he went Super Saiyan, while also being a giant Gorilla, which granted a person 10 times their base, then Goku's new multiplier would be 500 times stronger, minimum. Obviously, that was more than I could handle right now.

Even if he taught me Kaio-Ken, I'd probably explode before I could stop him from the sheer amount of power that I would have to output.

"Come on… You don't think that's possible, do you? Haha."

He chuckled, scratching the back of his head.

"I don't know. But if it is possible, you'd probably kill me and everyone on the planet."

"Ah… I guess that makes sense."

Goku gave a disheartened look as if I killed his spirits. Who would have thought he would've missed his tail so much.

He did do me a favor today. I did owe him for taking me to Namek. So I had to give him an IOU.

"But… After I learn more about what happened to me I learn how to control my transformation, then, we can wish for your tail back on earth."

With my words, Goku's mood shifted to that of a light-hearted one.

"Really? You mean it?"

"Yep."

"Yes."

He whispered, pumping his fist in the air.

"AM I INVISIBLE TO YOU OR ARE YOU JUST IGNORING ME? I WANT TO SLEEP. STATE YOUR FINAL WISH ALREADY." Porunga shouted.

From my perspective, I could see his giant eyebrows frowning at us while all the Namekians acted as bystanders.

I couldn't help but frown. I was grateful for what the dragon gave me, but did he have to be such a dick about his time?

'I know if that purple cat was here, he wouldn't be acting that way.'

"*sigh*"

"Alright… Moori, I'm ready. For my last wish, teleport me to where the person who collected the earth Dragon Balls is."

"Then I guess this is Goodbye then. Thank you too for visiting. Come back any time." He stated, waving at both Goku and me.

While Moori began to translate, Goku nudged me, confused by my last wish..

"Why do you want to know where the Dragon Balls of earth are? You wanna take more wishes? Don't you think that's kinda greedy of you?"

"I don't care about the actual dragon balls right now. That's not the reason I'm looking for this person."

"Huh? Then why are you looking for him?"

Goku asked.

"Because they started collecting them after I arrived. After our fight. It's too coincidental. Even if they already had one or two of them before. I want to see if this person can be trusted to make a wish or not."

Goku took a short moment to think to himself, then began to agree with my deduction, but wasn't fully convinced.

"It is a little weird… I guess. But it could just be some random person who wanted their wish granted. How do you know it's not that?"

"I don't think that's it."

I stated. .

[In the southern hemisphere]

"YOU HAVE DISTURBED ME FROM MY SLUMBER. SPEAK AND NAME YOUR WISH." Said enormous, coiled dragon.

'It's here. The Eternal Dragon, Shenron.'

Thought the tall ancient green humanoid.

"Shenron! I am Lord Slug. I've come to you so that my wish may be granted. Please, grant me immortality in my prime physical form!" He shouted.

"VERY WELL. YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED."

Shenron spoke with glowing red eyes.

As his eyes began to dim, Shenron converted into 7 white orbs that shot into the sky, scatteeing to different parts of the world.

With the dragon's exit, the man's dry and peeling reptilian skin began to rejuvenate. His sunken eyes began to pop with life. His laborious breathing disappeared. His lungs were healthy as they ever were. His wish finally came into fruition. He had his youth. He had the power to enact his revenge on all those who crossed him in his past.

But he needed to wait just a little longer. One year longer to be exact. Then, he would be able to make another wish. That wish, he was certain that with it alongside his immortality, he was destined to be unstoppable.

All he needed to do now was wait. For the next year, he just needed to build an army. After that, he would take the world for his own.

"Finally! The preparations have begun! Now, all I need to do is remain undetected." The now 6'8 green man with antennas stood laughing to the sky in his newfound youth.

"Undetected, Huh?"

Said a random unknown voice that the green had never heard before.

Snapping his head around, He saw two strange people he had never seen before. One with a tail and long purple hair, and one with a relatively low power level compared to the Green Man's.

"Who are you."

The Green man asked, slowly realizing the two looked somewhat familiar.

"I'm Trunks."

Said the man with the tail, But Slug wasn't interested in anything that weakling had to say. Although he looked intimidating judging by his eyes and hair, he was nothing but a fly to the newly invigorated Lord Slug. No. The only one of worry was the man with the strange orange Gi.

"Not you, pathetic worm. The one next to you."

"Me?"

The man in the orange and blue Gi. Asked.

"Yes you. The only one around worthy of being my opponent."

"I'm Goku. But ya know, you probably shouldn't underestimate this guy next to me." He said, pointing to his taller friend.

"Or what? Is that purple monkey gonna fling his fecal at me? Ha!" Laughed Slug.

"Wait… I remember you. You were one of those warriors I witnessed not too long ago. Goku… that's what your name is."

"Yeah… I just said that. You're not too smart, are you?" Goku said, scratching the back of his head which caused Lord Slug to almost lose his patience.

"You disrespectful little… *sigh* I repeated your name so that I could memorize it. It will be helpful after I decide whether you're friend or foe. Now, Goku. Where is your more powerful Friend. The one that you dueled in a life or death battle."

Goku then pointed to Trunks, whose tail was swaying from left to right.

"This was the only guy I fought recently. You're probably talking about Trunks." Goku conversed.

"Impossible. The man that I saw didn't have a tail. His hair and eyes looked different too. Even though I watched both of you transforming, I watched your fight in its entirety. The man that I saw afterwards looked nothing like this Trunks Garbage. He was way shorter. His face was even a little more round."

"Alright, Slug. You're gonna have to stop insulting me like that." Stated Trunks who had his arms crossed, attempting to intimidate Slug, but it wasn't working. Slug could sense him.

"Or what, monkey boy? You're gonna bite me?"

Slug chuckled.

"You idiot. Even if you had the power to stop me, it's already too late. I've wished for immortality. On top of that, I regained my youth, becoming more powerful than you Goku. Even if you transform, there isn't anything you can do to me."

"Now. What I can do is allow you to join forces with me. But first you'd have to kill the worm next to you. After you do that then-"

Out of nowhere, Slug felt five fingers digging into his skull, cracking bone while the entirety of the world from his perspective went dark.

"*crack*"

"*Boom*"

With one hand, Trunks had Grabbed Slug as if he was a coconut and slammed his head on the ground repeatedly.

"*Boom*"

"*Boom*"

[Five minutes later]

"Wow… He really is immortal."

Trunks stated with Slugs head in his hand.

No matter how much damage he dealt to Lord Slug, upon death, he resurrected over and over again. Goku felt bad in the beginning watching such a one sided battle, but then realized that with the amount of threats Slug made towards his and Trunks' families, Slug probably deserved everything that was coming to him.

"Looks like it… We'll probably have to seal him away with the Evil Containment Wave. Either that, or we need to somehow seal him in the dead zone, just like Garlic Jr."

Trunks looked at Goku with curiosity.

"What if you used him to get stronger? We both can sense his energy. He is stronger than Frieza. You'd just have to stop him from blowing up the planet. Other than that, you'd just have to let him heal a little bit. Then you could fight him all over again."

'You bastard! I'll kill you all!'

Slug internalized as his fractured skull began to heal once more.

"*Boom*"

Slug's repairs were rendered useless.

"Hey Slug, you wanna fight Goku for a bit?"

Trunks asked.

"I'll make both of your spawn suffer a fate worse than death! I'll make sure that all of your loved ones die. And I will torture you both to death as your grovel under my feet!"

"*Boom*"

"*Boom*"

"*Boom*"

…

…

….

"I'll do it! Stop hurting me! Stop!"

"*Boom*"

"*Boom*"

[45 minutes Later]

"*Boom*"

"I'm sorry! I won't be evil anymore! I promise! I'm sorry for what I said about your families!" Slug cried. For almost an hour, he had been brutally manhandled. In that short time span, his views had changed drastically.

"*Boom*"

"Trunks! I get that he's immortal now, but don't you think this is enough?" Goku asked.

"Please… Forgive me… Lord Trunks."

Slug whispered.

"I don't believe him for a second. That's the first time he called me that. He's trying to feed my ego. Ain't that right, Slug?"

"Damn you, Batard! I'll kill you!"

Slug said, opening up his mouth for a Ki blast. Before he could launch it at Goku who was off guard, Trunks slammed Slug's head into the ground once more.

"*Boom*"

"*sigh*"

"I guess he was just making face until we let our guard down, huh?" Goku said nervously.

"Looks that way… Goku, this isn't gonna be pretty. I'm about to let him go and fight with him for a few hours. I need to test out my new bonuses. After we're done, you two can fight."

Trunks stated.

"Hopefully, by then, that Ki of his will be a little different."

Goku stated as he began to fly off. The reason Goku had stayed in the first place was because he wanted to wait for his chance to fight Slug.

Upon encountering Slug, he could feel his evil Ki. Judging based off Slug's life imprint, he was worse than Frieza. Something that Goku didn't think possible.

As Trunks continued to beat Slug, he realized that slowly but surely, just like Vegeta, Slug was changing. That's why he wanted Trunks to be softer on him.

But as Slug spoke once more the moment Goku allowed himself to feel sympathetic, that was when Slug's Ki reverted back to the same level of evil that it was originally.

…

…

….

…

And like that, 5 hours passed. Because of Slug's continuous spike in energy, Vegeta, and Piccolo had arrived on scene where they found Goku playing with a family of penguins.

"Kakarot. What's Going on, and what's this energy that keeps spiking?" Asked Vegeta, In a yellow puff coat.

"That… Well, I think he's an Evil Namekian that Trunks is fighting."

"What do you mean that Trunks is fighting? I can only sense one energy." Vegeta declared not trusting Goku's words.

"You can go check for yourself, if you want."

Stated Goku, sliding down a snow plow head first.

"He's right… Let's check for ourselves." Piccolo stated.

All three of them then walked off to the location Trunks was fighting one-sidedly.
