Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

"The power of Super Saiyan 1 is indeed formidable, but you should know that's not what I want. Don't hold back on the Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 you mentioned before," Vegeta urged.

Although the Super Saiyan 1st stage full power state had already opened his eyes, this level of improvement was nothing to Vegeta.

The only thing he cared about was the higher levels of Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3.

Vegeta's reminder quickly brought Future Trunks back to his senses.

That's right! Super Saiyan 1 at full power is just the beginning. What they should really be pursuing is Super Saiyan 2, and even the higher Super Saiyan 3.

"Don't rush, this is just the beginning." Talot's lips curled up slightly.

Since we informed them about the existence of these realms in advance, we will naturally tell them as well.

As the S cells within his body pulsed and the golden aura surged, a startling burst of blue-white lightning also erupted from the edge of Talot's body.

A deafening crackling sound of lightning rang out, and more than a dozen bolts of lightning suddenly exploded around Talot's body, transforming his once-golden, upright hair into an even denser, more raging golden frizz.

Everyone in the Temple of the Gods was swept away by this terrifying power and retreated one after another.

Even though Talot had intentionally restrained his aura, the small amount of aura that leaked out was enough to terrify them.

The android trio was shocked by the terrifying energy unleashed by Talot, because the energy detectors in their bodies had reached their limit and could not detect how strong Talot's energy was.

As for Vegeta and Future Trunks, after witnessing Tarot's transformation into Super Saiyan 2, their eyes flashed with disbelief.

The sheer, invisible aura that was expanding so powerfully almost made them lose their composure, and even their breathing became difficult and rapid.

"As you can see, this is Super Saiyan 2!" Tarot said with a smile, deliberately showing off his current form and power in front of the two.

"This is... the power of Super Saiyan 2?! Unbelievable... So strong! Too strong! Just the intensity of its aura is this strong. If I could master this transformation, the crisis of the future world could be easily resolved!" Future Trunks said with great excitement.

The emergence of Super Saiyan 2 gave him hope. He had a premonition that as long as he could master this transformation, in the future world, androids would be nothing to worry about, and even if a more powerful enemy appeared, he would be able to defeat him.

"Speed ​​and power have seen an explosive increase, and the form has changed. So that's how it is... Is this Super Saiyan 2?" Vegeta suppressed his restless heart and his keen insight revealed the difference between Tarot's Super Saiyan 2 and the previous Super Saiyan 1 at full power.

Its overall combat index has seen explosive growth, and its energy intensity has become more concentrated. Its combat power is far beyond what Super Saiyan 1 can match.

However, this transformation would likely consume significantly more energy compared to Super Saiyan 1 at full power.

However, it should be within an acceptable range.

Vegeta kept this change in mind. He had found the right direction. All he needed to do next was train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He was absolutely confident that he could complete the Super Saiyan 2 transformation.

"Alright, you've all seen Super Saiyan 2nd stage. Next up... is Super Saiyan 3rd stage. Remember not to blink!" Talot grinned mischievously.

The next second, a glint flashed in Talot's eyes.

His S cells pulsed in unison with his thoughts, activating the energy pool of Super Saiyan Stage 3.

The moment the Super Saiyan third stage energy pool was activated, a storm raged, the sky darkened, and the entire Celestial Temple—no, it should be said that the entire Earth—was plunged into violent shaking.

Vegeta and Future Trunks were forced back by this astonishing aura. The extreme impact of this aura and the pressure brought by their bloodline made the father and son feel a strong sense of unease.

"This aura... is so strong... my body... can't move?!" Future Trunks was greatly affected and tried his best to regain control of his body.

But he found that no matter how hard he tried, under the pressure of the aura released during Talot's transformation, his body was completely unable to move.

Even breathing became incredibly difficult.

This is from a completely different dimension!

Vegeta, standing to the side, was also quite frightened by this overwhelming force.

As a Saiyan prince, if he hadn't possessed exceptional willpower, he would likely have already collapsed both physically and mentally under the pressure of this aura.

The three androids on the other side also had their expressions change drastically due to the energy burst forth by Talot.

The intensity of this energy is far more terrifying than before; even if they can't see the data, their bodies can sense it.

Popo, Dandy, and Bulma were nearly blown away by this astonishing force.

Fortunately, Talot reacted in time and withdrew his force, releasing a protective shield for Bulma and Dandy.

Tarot's aura swept across the globe, causing fear to emanate from the rest of the world, especially Tien Shinhan and Krillin, who were training in the gravity training room, as well as Yamcha, who had left Mount Paozu to join the gravity training.

So powerful! Unbelievably powerful!

Talot quickly completed his Super Saiyan 3rd stage form.

His eyebrows disappeared, his brow bones drooped, and his golden, spiky hair stretched to his waist. His expression was cold, and his face was like that of the Grim Reaper.

At this moment, the eyebrowless hero, Super Saiyan 3rd stage, descends!

After witnessing Talot's transformation firsthand, everyone present wore different expressions.

Of the three androids, Android 16 and 17 gained a new understanding of Tarot's terrifying power, and at the same time, they realized even more how insignificant they were.

Although they are androids created by Dr. Groh and possess unimaginable power, their power is insignificant in the face of a strongman like Talot.

As for Number 18, she had unknowingly become deeply attracted to Talot and was completely engrossed in watching.

"Wow, that's amazing..." Dandy said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Even without great power, just the ability to sense things will tell you how terrifying it is.

"This is the first time in Bobo's life that he has felt such an amazing aura," Bobo exclaimed.

"So...so handsome..." Bulma covered her mouth, her face flushed with admiration.

This is his man!

Not only does he possess the strongest power, but he is also incredibly cool after transforming, far surpassing anyone else.

Trunks and Vegeta were even more shocked and stimulated.

"This is... beyond Super Saiyan 2... Super Saiyan 3! What terrifying power... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that we Saiyans have so many transformations." Future Trunks gasped in disbelief, exclaiming in astonishment.

The power of a Super Saiyan at level two was already so strong that he looked up to it, let alone the Super Saiyan at level three in front of him.

The absolute oppressive feeling emanating from this form made his body and soul tremble.

[Super Saiyan... Third Stage...] Vegeta's eyelids twitched wildly, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Not only his body, but also his soul trembled under this extreme power.

His Saiyan blood trembled under the power unleashed by Tarot.

Vegeta, struggling to control his emotions, stared intently at Tarot and asked again, "The power of Super Saiyan 3 is indeed astonishing. If I remember correctly, you mentioned before that there are even higher levels... Could it be that there's a Super Saiyan 4?"

Compared to Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta became obsessed with Super Saiyan 4.

Tarot wasn't in a hurry to answer Vegeta's curious question.

"Indeed! However, prematurely reaching the fourth stage of Super Saiyan might not be a good thing for you. The third stage of Super Saiyan is sufficient for now. Sometimes, training to become stronger is about gradual progress. Excessively pursuing powerful transformations without consolidating each stage can be counterproductive." After saying this, Talot directly deactivated the peak third stage of Super Saiyan, returning to his normal state. "Once you reach the third stage of Super Saiyan, you will find your own path to further advancement."

Tarot did everything he could, demonstrating Super Saiyan 1 to Super Saiyan 3 to Trunks and Vegeta.

As for how much they can understand, that depends on themselves.

Upon hearing this, Vegeta could not force him and could only nod in agreement.

He didn't say anything more, and was already prepared to go to the Spiritual Time Chamber for cultivation.

Talot also gave Bobo a look.

With just a glance, Bobo immediately understood the message.

"Next, I will guide you into the Spirit Time Chamber to cultivate. However, before that, I need some time to prepare the supplies you will need for cultivation. After all, one day outside is equivalent to one year inside, so please wait for a while," Bobo explained.

Vegeta nodded upon hearing this.

There's no need to rush at this point.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Popo," Future Trunks said respectfully.

"Well, there's one more thing, which you may already know, but I still want to remind you: although the Time Chamber is amazing, each person can only stay inside for a maximum of two years. If you exceed that, the exit will disappear..." Bobo said to everyone.

After receiving nods of understanding from Vegeta and Future Trunks, he turned and left to prepare the supplies they needed.

Shenron's wish has been fulfilled, and the purpose of showcasing Trunks and Vegeta's transformations in the future has also been achieved. There is no longer any need for them to stay in Kami's Lookout.

Just as Talot was about to take Bulma back to the West Capital, his gaze shifted and he thought of numbers 16, 17, and 18.

Having only recently awakened, they likely have nowhere to go and find it difficult to integrate into current human society.

Perhaps out of sympathy, Talot discussed with Bulma whether they should help them.

Talot thought Bulma would refuse, but to his surprise, Bulma agreed to help them.

Anyway, her house is big enough. She was able to take in the Namekians who were homeless back then, let alone these three androids.

However, we must ensure that we don't act recklessly.

With Bulma's consent, Tarot approached the three homunculus individuals and offered to provide them with temporary accommodation and help them integrate into the new era.

Upon learning that Talot and Bulma could take them in, the three were momentarily taken aback, but more than anything, they were deeply moved.

Unexpectedly, as artificial beings, they would one day receive help from others.

The three of them readily accepted Talot and Bulma's invitation.

Finally, Tarot used his teleportation ability to take Bulma and the other two away from the Temple of Kami and return to West City.

……

And just like that, two days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past two days, the Earth has been exceptionally calm.

Bulma arranged for temporary accommodation for numbers 16, 17, and 18.

Android 16 prefers to be in close contact with nature, so Bulma arranged for him to stay in the outdoor ecological park managed by Dr. Brief. And surprisingly, Android 16 was very grateful for this arrangement.

Bulma arranged two separate rooms for them on the 17th and 18th, with all the necessary daily living facilities.

Over the course of these two days, their relationship with Talot and Bulma has been constantly changing, growing increasingly closer.

To them, Bulma and Tarot were not only friends, but also benefactors.

Bulma and Talot's relationship is also growing stronger. In just a few days, Bulma has come to understand and rely on Talot more, because no matter what she is thinking, Talot can guess it immediately and always provides her with a lot of emotional support.

……

It was noon.

Talot, who was chatting with Bulma and Androids 17 and 18 in the living room, suddenly sensed two familiar presences.

Without guessing, it was immediately clear who the owners of those two auras were.

"It's finally here. It seems he's fully recovered, about the time I calculated." Talot looked out the window.

"Huh? You mean... who's here?" Bulma asked with a curious look, lounging on the sofa next to Talot.

Nearby, No. 17 and No. 18, who were sipping their tea, also glanced sideways.

"It's Kakarot, and Gohan," Tarot explained.

"Goku and Gohan? That's great! It seems their heart disease is cured." Bulma beamed and immediately prepared to leave.

Talot also stood up, but quickly noticed the change in the expressions of Android 17 and 18, and said, "Haven't you always been curious about what kind of person Sun Wukong is? You'll have your chance to meet him soon."

After saying that, Talot smiled and caught up with Bulma. (End of Chapter)
