32 Planet Namek 11

"Well .....this has gone right out of hand." Elder Kai noted, a bead of sweat trailing down the side of his purple wrinkled skin. He leaned back in the chair he was sitting in, eyes locked on the broadcast screen hovering over the central table within the Time Nest.

The feed showed a young man, a very familiar looking young man, a blazing aura of golden power shaking the planet of Namek at the very seams that kept it together.

"His power is ridiculous!" Trunks tapped his foot nervously, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, "He's more than twice as powerful as Cell was when he returned after blowing himself up!" It would be amazing to see a variation of Goku grow so powerful so quickly, if it wasn't horrifying and practically trivialize all the effort he and everyone else had went through to get even close to strong enough to stop that monster

"There's nothing we can do about it sadly," Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time sighed, idly kicking her legs back and forth from where she sat on the table beside the scroll, "The change to this timelines history was so subtle I completely missed it, and it was a delayed effect to. The alterations have gone on too long for them to be reversed." she'd noticed there was a change in history and checked it out immediately. But, the change was so subtle she hadn't been able to find it at all. After all, it was just a simple idea planted within the head of a resident of that timeline that wouldn't take effect for years down the line.

As much as it galled her, Chronoa had to give praise to whoever managed it. It was genius and nothing at all like the blunt hammer-like alterations that annoying shrew Towa and her magical DNA cocktail of a boy toy employed and since the founding of TokiToki City, none but them had the gall to try and forcefully alter the timeline to their benefit.

It was almost frightening that a new enemy with these kind of inclinations may have appeared. And it also meant....all her free time may end up going down the drain once again.

"Well, this timeline is gonna go right off the rails! He's already strong enough that the only threat coming up anytime soon is Buu and that should be over a decade away!" Elder Kai shook his head. What was early Frieza compared to this variation of Goku? He wouldn't even need to transform to defeat him, "Really though, where the heck did he find out about the Tree of Might? Turles hasn't gone anywhere near Earth in that timeline, and honestly he probably never will now that he lost that seed of his and the fruit he was collecting."

"It's probably just something that was shown to him by whoever caused this in the first place," Trunks thought out loud, "At the very least, he doesn't seem be a bad guy. He's actively going out of his way to help other besides himself."

"He's kinda cute, in a rugged bad boy kinda way," Chronoa hummed, leaning over to eye his broadcasted image a bit, "Think he has a girlfriend?"

"You mean besides this one's mother of that timeline?" Elder Kai jabbed a thumb towards Trunks, cackling in amusement.

"...I was really hoping to forget that I saw that." Trunks groaned.

"This is a lot easier than I thought it would be." Bulma commented as she idly floated through the air.

"The fruit and the unlocking of your potential helped with that," Nail commented from where he stood below her, "From what we've noticed, it seems your species has an innate talent for controlling ki, the problem most would run into as far as humans go is unlocking that ki, but you don't have to worry about that, nor do you have to worry about exhausting your ki any time soon, you have more or less skipped over the parts that usually take you the longest to deal with."

Bulma grinned. Score! "Good to know!" she flashed him a thumbs up. Really, as far as trying to show her his chops as a boyfriend Kakarot was really going above and beyond. She should reward him. Maybe do something good for Guru as well since she was apparently so strong now she could probably kill her old boyfriend by slapping him with her pinky.

14,000,840.

Her strength had become absolutely mind boggling. When her growth finally puttered out and Kakarot and Guru flew off somewhere to talk or something, she couldn't believe it. To think even Goku who used to seem so godlike in strength compared to her...was now near infinitely weaker than her, it almost didn't seem real. But it was.

...She'd accidentally shot off a ki blast not long ago without much thought and accidentally destroyed a mountain. That was scary and amazing all that once. But she was used to rolling with the punches and adapting, she'd been doing so since a little monkey boy picked her up while she was in her car a decade ago and tossed her around like a feather, and then was barely even phased by getting shot in the forehead.

"You know, your planet is nice, but there isn't much to do is there? Not gonna it'd be a nice play for a little R'n'R and relax, but I'd go stir crazy after a little while," Bulma moved on with the conversation as she played around with her nifty new powers. She idly wondered how long it would take Kakarot to teach her that clone thing of Tien's, the Multi Form was it? "You should totally stop by Earth sometime, there's so much more to do. Like my dad loves golf I think you'd like it to Moori." she smiled down at the other Namekian who was coaching her on using her ki, a nice old elder Namekian guy.

Really, everyone was so nice here. She had to marvel at the kind of assholes Piccolo must have been around when he arrived on Earth to end up the way he did if he was originally supposed to be like these guys.

"Golf? I have never heard of it, but I'd be happy to partake in it if it, is as fun as you say it is," Moori chuckled, "If what Lord Guru wants to speak your young friend about is acceptable, it will be nice to visit Earth at the very least and catch up with Dende."

"What do you mean? Who's Dende?" Bulma asked.

Moori hummed turning his head to look around. A moment later, he rose his finger and pointed at a gathering of young Namekian children, specifically the shortest of them all, "That is him there, a child under my care and the youngest of us all currently living on this planet." he pointed out.

"Right, cute little guy," Bulma nodded, "But what's so special about him?"

"Your dragon balls only give one wish correct?" Nail cut in. Bulma raised an eyebrow, she didn't understand what that had to do with anything, but nodded in affirmation anyway, "That is why. Guru is sending Dende along with you when you return to Earth to strengthen the dragon balls there and allow you to gain three wishes from them."

Bulma's eyes widened at what she heard and a broad grin spread across her face, "That's amazing!" she gushed happily, spinning backwards in the air due to her excitement, "We'll be able to get so much more done with three wishes if anything crazy hap-"

Bulma cut herself off as the sky darkened and the air itself began to vibrate. The ground rumbled as a massive earthquake swept through the planet and the mountains all around began to crack. Thunder boomed and lightning sparked into existence, the planet around them looking for all intents and purposes as if it was going through a world ending apocalypse.

Her scouter burst into life, automatically reading a sudden surge of massive power. A very familiar power of 107,411,360 beginning to rapidly ascend upwards at such speeds for a moment she thought even with all the time she'd spent upgrading the scouter mechanics, that it was going to break down and explode.

"What the hell is he doing!?" Bulma screamed as she was jostled through the air without control due to the massive wind current being forced into existence.

"Did you know Bulma?" Moori spoke up, somehow standing perfectly fine even with the ground threatening to open up and swallow him whole and many of his brethren shouting or screaming shock and fear, "There are some races that can go through species transformations to increase their power massively."

Bulma's eyes went as wide as they could and realisation and struck her, "He's trying to turn into the giant monkey thing!?" she screamed. She remembered how horrifying it was when Goku transformed back in the day, he was absolutely terrifying, even Roshi couldn't touch him and Kakarot was so much stronger than the Goku of then it wasn't even funny!

"Close, that is what is known as the Oozaru form, something all saiyans who have their tails can accomplish," Moori shook his head, "Saiyans are a special race though, they have another transformation that is known throughout the universe as legendary and unbeatable. It is known as the Super Saiyan."

"Guru believes Kakarot is strong enough and has what it takes to become the first in a thousand years," Nail added, standing calmly with his arms crossed behind his back and staring coolly in the direction Kakarot had left with Guru following behind him, "..Evidently he was correct."

"..Still, Super Saiyan's are known as unbeatable fighters, but I never believed the power of one was this amazing," Moori noted, "Kakarot may very well be the strongest being in the entire universe now."

..Strongest in the universe? Bulma looked at the number staring back at her from the scouter, over five billion.

King Piccolo had once conquered the Earth with a battle power much lower than fifteen hundred. She could very well believe it.

Well, she once thought of wishing for the perfect boyfriend. The strongest boyfriend might actually be a much better alternative.
