Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

With his injuries healed once again and his strength increased once more, Vegeta rushed to Tarot's side.

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but for a moment I didn't know how to say them.

"What do you want to say, Vegeta?" Tarot had already guessed what Vegeta was thinking, and chuckled as the corners of his mouth turned up.

After all, it was information he intentionally revealed.

Upon hearing this, Vegeta tried his best to calm his agitated heart. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "There are new transformations beyond Super Saiyan, right? We in your timeline have mastered them."

As soon as he said that, everyone else present perked up their ears.

Vegeta, Goku, and Future Trunks, who can transform into Super Saiyans, are already incredibly powerful. But if they could transform again on top of that, just how much would their power increase?

"Of course, Super Saiyan 1 is just the beginning. Right now, you and Trunks are just ordinary Super Saiyans. Above that, there are second, third, and even fourth stages, and each of these stages is further divided into several smaller phases." Tarot didn't hide anything and told Vegeta the truth.

I'm not afraid of him asking; I'm afraid he won't ask.

Upon learning of the infinite possibilities of the Super Saiyan transformation, Vegeta's heart skipped a beat, and a deep sense of surprise appeared in his eyes.

After mastering the Super Saiyan transformation, he believed that he was the most powerful being in the universe. However, repeated defeats severely dampened his spirits.

Originally, he thought this was his limit, but now, after Talot's reminder, it was as if he had suddenly seen the light and found a completely new path.

Super Saiyan is just the beginning; they, the Saiyans, possess limitless potential.

"Super Saiyan Stage 2, even Stage 3 and Stage 4... Hiss! Unbelievable... There are so many levels above Super Saiyan." Future Trunks was astonished by this explosive news.

Talot's appearance, and then this news, made him understand a principle.

Even though the androids are powerful, they are not invincible. It's just that they haven't honed themselves enough, and their mastery of the Super Saiyan form hasn't reached its peak.

They had only just begun to grasp the power of a Super Saiyan, yet they thought they had reached their limit.

If they had mastered the perfect Super Saiyan power, they wouldn't have lost so badly.

Just like Tarot, he can crush the Destroyer Creatures without even transforming.

Having figured all this out, Vegeta and Future Trunks both found a new direction.

Seeing the change in their expressions, Talott's face revealed a mysterious smile.

That's exactly the effect we want; otherwise, they'll become useless in the future.

"Alright, Cell is dead, and the greatest threat to your era has been eliminated. Now, let's return to the Western Capital." As he finished speaking, Talot once again used his spatial powers while chatting and laughing.

In an instant, an invisible spatial force expanded from Tarot, quickly enveloping Vegeta, Future Trunks, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin.

The next second, everyone disappeared from the spot.

……

Western capital.

The luxurious estate in the backyard of the Capsule Corporation.

Bulma, Gohan, and Yajirobe had only recently returned.

The strange feeling of being instantly teleported still lingered in their minds, making them ponder deeply, wondering what exactly was going on.

It's very similar to teleportation, but teleportation is not as simple as that.

Just as the three were lost in thought, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space.

In the blink of an eye, Tarot teleported over with Vegeta, Future Trunks, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin.

Sensing the sudden appearance of a familiar aura, Son Gohan, whose thoughts had been wandering, quickly returned to his senses and turned his gaze toward the source of the aura.

In the heart of the luxurious estate stands a massive creature.

"Uncle Piccolo! And Uncle Tien Shinhan and Uncle Krillin! Everyone's back!!" Gohan rushed forward anxiously to ask.

Gohan had thought this mission would be a life-or-death situation, but now that Uncle Piccolo and the others are back, the huge weight that had been hanging over his heart has been lifted.

Upon hearing Gohan's concerned inquiry, Yajirobe and Bulma, who were on the other side, also saw what was happening and quickly rushed over.

"Great, you're all back. So it seems the android issue has been resolved, right?" Yajirobe said matter-of-factly.

"Who is he?" Bulma's gaze was fixed on Talot, but she didn't say it aloud.

This person was a stranger, someone she had never seen before, but for some reason, she seemed to feel a sense of familiarity with him.

When asked, Talot didn't say anything, leaving the explanation to Piccolo and Future Trunks.

As they talked, the group went up to the rooftop of the second floor of the main house.

Having learned everything, Bulma, Gohan, and Yajirobe were filled with sorrow.

From Dr. Groh being killed by Androids 17 and 18, to their near-death experiences at their hands, and finally being saved by Talot, who also came from another timeline...

"So... Cell has been defeated in the end, and the crisis is completely over. Thank you so much, Mr. Tarot from another timeline." With such a complicated situation, and thanks to the help of Tarot from another timeline, Bulma's gaze towards Tarot has changed.

Talot nodded slightly, but did not reply.

His feelings for Bulma are complicated now, after all, this Bulma has no connection to him.

"Those androids are as strong as monsters? Even the power of a Super Saiyan is no match for them. Fortunately, they were taken care of..." Yajirobe said with a chill.

"So, when I escorted Aunt Bulma back before, the power that suddenly teleported us back to West City was this uncle's help?" Gohan turned his gaze to Tarot beside him.

Talot smiled and nodded, already holding a drink he had taken from the freezer next to him.

It has to be said that after spending more than a year in the past five million years, his supplies in this area had already been completely looted by that guy Beerus.

Talot was unaware that his sudden action had attracted the attention of Bulma in this timeline.

Why does he seem so familiar with my house?

A woman's intuition is always very accurate, and Bulma vaguely sensed that Talot was quite peculiar.

According to Future Trunks' description, and also according to Talot's own account, he is a Saiyan from another timeline.

Furthermore, the development of the other party's world is quite different.

A strange premonition arose in Bulma's heart.

"Thank you for your help. Otherwise, Uncle Piccolo and the others would have been in trouble," Gohan continued to express his gratitude.

This excellent display of manners truly shocked Talot.

Qiqi is a really good teacher.

"No need to be so polite. In a way, I'm your uncle. In my timeline, I watched your father grow up," Tarot said to Son Gohan.

In the original work, Son Gohan's performance was quite outstanding.

Not only did he display a talent for cultivation that far surpassed everyone else, but he was also the first to master the second stage of Super Saiyan.

Although Gohan in this era had not yet undergone training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to stimulate himself and deeply develop his potential, Tarot, with his immense spiritual perception, had already sensed the extremely vast potential contained within Gohan's body.

Unfortunately, Gohan wasn't born yet after he left his own timeline, so there's no way to compare the two timelines.

However, Tarot felt that Gohan born in his own timeline would definitely be stronger.

After all, the difference in achievements between fathers is like night and day.

"You do know my father." Gohan guessed as expected, so he became even more enthusiastic.

"No wonder you're so familiar with my house. So, in another world, you and Goku are both my friends?" A thought flashed through Bulma's mind, and she seemed to understand something.

She could never have guessed that her relationship with Talot in another time and space was not as simple as just being friends.

Tarot gradually came to terms with Bulma's question.

In this timeline, Bulma is not with Vegeta, perhaps because his time travel indirectly caused changes in other timelines.

Tarot gave Bulma a mysterious smile and said, "Yes and no."

These words immediately aroused Bulma's intense curiosity.

"Since you're a friend from another time and space, there's no need for sign language. The theory that time and space are different has already been proven, so even if I knew the truth, it wouldn't make any difference. Just tell me the truth," Bulma pressed on relentlessly.

Everyone present also perked up their ears and became alert.

Judging from Talot's behavior, their relationship must be quite close.

They also wanted to hear about Talot's world and how different it was from theirs.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Talot smiled and shook his head.

He had intended to avoid discussing this matter, but now it seems there's no need to hide it anymore.

Since things have already changed to this extent, what's a little more change?

"In my timeline, you are my wife." Tarot looked at Bulma earnestly and told her the truth.

These words struck everyone present like a bolt from the blue.

This explosive information has had a huge impact.

Even the ruthless Vegeta wore an expression of disbelief at this moment.

After all, Future Trunks had previously stated that Bulma was his future wife.

It was precisely because of this revelation that they attempted to reach out to each other proactively.

But in the end, they grew increasingly estranged, so their fates changed, and Trunks of this era was never born.

Who would have thought that in Tarot's timeline, Bulma was actually Tarot's wife!

What is this?

Isn't this complete chaos?

Of course, as shocked as they were, none of them had experienced what happened in other timelines.

Ultimately, it's about understanding it from a different perspective.

If Talot arrived first instead of Future Trunks, wouldn't Future Trunks' timeline be incredibly strange?

As the prince of the Saiyans, Vegeta is exceptionally wise when he calms down.

He was aloof and would never hang himself from a tree for a woman.

For others, this news was indeed explosive.

But upon closer reflection, it has nothing to do with him.

At the very least, he wouldn't accept this woman.

Upon hearing this news, Bulma's eyes widened in surprise, her gaze sweeping over Talot.

"Judging from her appearance, she is indeed my type..." Upon closer inspection, she found that Talott perfectly matched her aesthetic standards.

He's approachable and friendly, not at all aloof, and very handsome—a true dream man.

It must be admitted that if Talot were to meet her in her own timeline, she might actually make the same choice as her counterpart in the other timeline.

Everyone has figured it out.

But there is one person who will not accept it, even if Talot saved everyone and is incredibly powerful...

Future Trunks went berserk.

"What a joke!! This is absolutely impossible! You're lying!!" The future Trunks, unable to accept it, shouted at Talot.

He was able to accept that his counterpart in this timeline did not exist because of his influence.

But in another time and space, his mother became someone else's wife, which he could not accept no matter what.

This is his mother!

Despite the difference in time and space, he would never allow his mother to become another man's woman!

"Trunks, don't be impulsive...!" Piccolo tried to stop Future Trunks, but Future Trunks was too agitated and transformed into Super Saiyan 1.

This force was beyond his ability to resist.

This further solidified Bick's resolve to take that path! There was no time to lose!

"You're too excited, Trunks. Actually, after you got to the time tunnel, you should have been able to understand. You just didn't want to accept this reality!" Talot said calmly.

"Stop lying to me! Even though things happen differently in different timelines, I absolutely refuse to believe that my mother would become your wife. You must have twisted the truth! Tell me! What is the truth?!" Future Trunks was blinded by rage and was determined to get Talot to tell the truth no matter what.

Due to excessive emotional excitement, the aura of Future Trunks transformed into a devastating storm, causing the entire manor to tremble violently.

Talot stepped in front of Bulma to protect her from harm.

"You can't even control your own emotions. Do you think it's appropriate for you to unleash your aura here? Can your 'mother' in this space-time withstand the crushing force of your aura?"

"This world is inherently full of infinite possibilities. Even more outrageous things might happen in worlds we don't understand. For example, Bulma might end up with that kid Kakarot..." Tarot's words were another bolt from the blue, making Future Trunks tremble with barely suppressed rage.

This kid has gone mad.

If Talot hadn't been a time traveler, he probably would have found it hard to accept.

In the parallel universes he knew, there were many that were completely different. (End of Chapter)
