Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Before long, both Goku and Vegeta snapped out of their euphoria at successfully breaking through to Super Saiyan 3.

They keenly perceived the weaknesses of Super Saiyan 3.

Why is it that the energy within their bodies seems unable to gather and keeps flowing away?

"What's going on? How can the power in Super Saiyan 3 state be draining away so quickly?! Even with all my strength, I can't stop it." Goku said in utter surprise.

The powerful amplification from Super Saiyan 3rd stage truly made him ecstatic.

However, their energy was leaking out of control, and their seemingly powerful form was now like a funnel, constantly leaking air.

Sun Wukong tried to plug the gap and prevent his aura from leaking out, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it.

It felt like his body was incomplete, and unless that gap was plugged with something, it wouldn't work at all.

Having tried various methods without success in resolving the issue of energy leakage, Goku simply deactivated his Super Saiyan 3 transformation and returned to his normal state.

However, after he deactivated his transformation, an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion suddenly overwhelmed him, almost causing him to collapse.

The previous battle with Vegeta had already exhausted most of his physical strength. In addition, the mental pressure from the breakthrough during the battle and the enormous consumption of Super Saiyan 3 caused his body to collapse under the combined burden.

Fortunately, his foundation was solid enough to withstand such a huge amount of exertion. If it were someone else, they would probably have turned pale and fainted.

"Where exactly is the problem? Could it be that my power level is not high enough?" Vegeta was also extremely confused about the energy leakage problem.

Unable to find the reason, he directly attributed the problem to his lack of experience.

Soon, Vegeta, having regained his composure, also deactivated his Super Saiyan 3 transformation and returned to his normal state, though not as noticeably as Goku.

Adjusting his state, Vegeta turned his gaze to Goku, his eyes sharp and locked onto his opponent like the eyes of an eagle.

Their eyes met, neither willing to yield to the other.

They had previously agreed that whoever completed the Super Saiyan 3 transformation first would win.

Now that they have both completed Super Saiyan 3, this battle can only be considered a draw.

"It seems our duel will end in a draw," Sun Wukong laughed.

"Hmph! You're lucky, Kakarot," Vegeta said unhappily.

Just then, a crisp clapping sound came from not far away.

Upon hearing the voice, the two turned their gazes and discovered that the newcomers were Tarot and Son Gohan.

"You did well, both of you successfully broke through to the third stage of Super Saiyan. However, you must be wondering why your Super Saiyan third stage is experiencing a continuous energy leak, right?" Talot directly addressed their doubts.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and Vegeta nodded quickly.

"I can understand that the energy consumption of Super Saiyan 3 is several times that of Super Saiyan 2, but why is our energy leaking out uncontrollably? What's the problem?" Sun Wukong asked.

Vegeta remained silent, because Goku had already asked all his questions.

"The problem naturally lies with you, because your bodies are incomplete," Talot explained.

"Incomplete?"

"You mean Kakarot and I are missing something?!"

Upon hearing this, Goku and Vegeta were utterly astonished.

They understood the meaning behind Talot's words, but they didn't understand what Talot meant by what was missing.

"That's right, that thing is the source of our Saiyan power." Talot kept them in suspense, not directly pointing out what the two lacked.

Upon hearing this, Goku and Vegeta were extremely surprised, and Gohan also joined in the speculation.

What is the source of Saiyan power?

What they lacked was so important that it must be extraordinary to be called the source of the Saiyans.

The three fell into deep thought. Goku and Gohan felt incredibly troubled, but Vegeta, after being reminded by Tarot, seemed to have thought of something.

A phrase his father, King Vegeta, once told him was recalled and echoed in his mind.

Every time the full moon arrives, it is the time for the Saiyans to display their true power.

The key to demonstrating that power... is... the tail!

"I understand now. What you're pointing to is our Saiyan tail, right?" Vegeta said, suddenly realizing.

"A tail?!" Son Gohan looked surprised.

"Yes! I remember now, it's the tail!" Sun Wukong replied excitedly.

"That's right, what you're missing is the tail. The tail is not only the source of our Saiyan power, but also the key to stabilizing the third stage of Super Saiyan. Without the tail, you will never be able to cultivate the third stage of Super Saiyan to its ultimate level, and the problem of energy leakage will be impossible to solve. In addition, I also need to remind you that the tail is also the key to mastering the fourth stage of Super Saiyan." Talot gave everyone an affirmative answer.

Upon learning just how important the tail was, all three of them couldn't help but gasp.

The tail that they previously considered a burden is now surprisingly useful.

It not only helps them perfectly master the power of Super Saiyan 3, but it is also the key for them to access Super Saiyan 4.

After realizing the importance of the tail, Goku and Vegeta deeply regretted their actions.

They used to have tails too, but they mistakenly thought tails were no longer important, so they abandoned them.

Since their tails were severed, they have been intentionally mobilizing energy to fill the gaps in their flesh and blood.

As a result, the missing area has now been filled with flesh and blood, and the tail can no longer grow back easily, even if they eat Senzu Beans.

"Damn it!! I made such a stupid mistake. I should have realized sooner that the tail is the key to unlocking the power of us Saiyans!" Vegeta clenched his fists, deeply regretting his past foolishness.

Super Saiyan 4 was the form he had always dreamed of, and it was also a symbol of the Saiyan bloodline. Vegeta's desire for that form was too obsessive.

But now that he knows the tail is the key to unlocking the fourth stage of Super Saiyan, he feels his blood rushing to his head and his anger burning.

"This is terrible, it seems my tail will never grow back." Sun Wukong said with a similarly distressed expression.

His tail, ever since it was removed by the previous god in the Heavenly Temple, has never grown back.

At first, he didn't care much, and even thought that losing one tail was no big deal.

But now, it's too late for regrets.

"Regarding this issue, you can wait until the Dragon Balls are restored in six months and then make a wish through Shenron," Tarot suggested.

Since the tail can't grow back through normal means, why doesn't Shenlong just grant a wish?

"That's right, there are also the Dragon Balls. It seems that this is the only way." Goku thought for a moment and seemed to have an idea.

"Six months... that's not too long." Vegeta nodded after a moment's thought. This six-month period would be just enough time for him to reflect, improve his normal combat power, and gain a deeper understanding of the power of Super Saiyan 3.

When he wishes to Shenron to grow his tail back, his accumulated power will explode in one go, and his Super Saiyan 3rd stage will reach its peak.

Once you can unleash power far beyond your limits in Super Saiyan 3, it will be much easier to attempt to break through to Super Saiyan 4.

Vegeta's thinking was simple; he didn't know that certain conditions were required to achieve Super Saiyan 4.

Talot didn't say much.

Before long, their conversation ended.

The objective has been achieved, and there is no need to linger here any longer.

After saying goodbye to Tarot and Vegeta, Goku and Gohan used Instant Transmission to leave, saying they still needed to go to Kami's Lookout.

Tarot wanted to take Vegeta back to West Capital, but was refused.

If he doesn't leave, Talot won't stay with him.

Thus, the fateful duel between Goku and Vegeta came to a draw.

……

Time flies.

Half a year has passed since the end of the fateful battle between Goku and Vegeta.

During these six months, everything returned to calm. The Earth was not invaded by any external enemies, and everything developed quietly and orderly.

After a period of reflection, Talot finally recovered from his injuries and refined all the remaining spacetime power in his body, restoring his strength to its peak.

No! It should be said that he has already surpassed his prime!

After the residual spacetime power within his body was completely digested, he now surpassed his limits in both physical strength and power.

Its normal combat power has reached an astonishing level, the realm of the seventh dimension!

However, numbers are not the key to measuring a person's strength. Talot's power cannot be simply measured by numbers.

If he were to unleash his power in conjunction with the laws he currently possesses, his strength could even reach the true level of a God of Destruction!

Then there are the other people in this world who were influenced by him, and they have undergone considerable changes in the past six months.

Not only did the three Saiyans, Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta, master the Super Saiyan 3rd stage, a transformation that transcends time, under his intervention, but after making a wish to Shenron on Earth, they also grew their tails back and planned to reach the even higher level of Super Saiyan 4th stage.

In this era before Majin Buu even hatched, he has already reached Super Saiyan 3 and is aiming for Super Saiyan 4. Even if a powerful opponent appears in the future, he probably won't last more than a few rounds against them.

Moreover, besides these three strongest Saiyans, Piccolo, who was previously suggested by Tarot to train on Namek, has also returned in the past six months.

After regaining his integrity, he displayed astonishing comprehension on Namek.

He has mastered the power of the Dragon God, and his strength has greatly increased as a result!

However, compared to Goku and Vegeta, who both mastered the third stage of Super Saiyan, he is still a bit inferior.

A few days ago, Talot had met with him and knew that Piccolo would soon be entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for training.

When he comes out, his strength may rival that of Sun Bei and the other two.

In the past six months, Talot has done more than just recover his strength.

During those six months, he also went to Namek and used the Dragon Balls there to upgrade his personal storage world.

With the help of the dragon Polunga, his storage world not only doubled in size, but also developed into a moon-sized planet capable of supporting life.

If Talot wishes, he can directly store others into his own storage world.

Upgrading the storage mini-world is also Talot's preparation for leaving.

He traveled to the future Trunks' timeline and met the future Trunks and the future Bulma.

After a series of in-depth conversations, Talot takes Future Trunks and Future Bulma to this timeline in the past.

The reason is that the world they live in is incomplete and hopeless. Rather than staying in that broken future, they would rather return to the present and start their lives anew, with family and friends still around.

Initially, Future Trunks couldn't accept it, but after Future Bulma agreed to go and live in the past, Future Trunks stopped saying anything.

The past was indeed much more peaceful than the future, and everyone was still here, especially Dad.

Talot realized that Bulma was also reluctant, but she agreed because she was thinking of Trunks.

She knew that Trunks would respect her choice, so she accepted the offer.

With Future Trunks and Future Bulma returning to this world, Tarot naturally doesn't forget to use Shenron to make a wish, helping Future Bulma regain her youth.

This wish was the second wish made by Goku and Vegeta after they wished for the Saiyans to regain their tails.

With everything in place, his plan was officially launched.

He wants to take Bulma and Android 18 from this timeline back to his own timeline.

Do you bring the number 18 too?

That's right!

Men always make mistakes. After spending six months together, they naturally became a couple, leaving Talott unsure how to explain it to his family.

But since things have come to this point, this is the only way.

Upon learning of this news, the people of this world held a farewell banquet.

After the banquet, Talot used his spacetime powers to open a time tunnel.

Bulma was reluctant to leave, after all, she belonged to this time and space, and once she left, she didn't know when she would be able to return.

"Don't worry, you can come back whenever you have the chance. And although the time and space are different, the people are all similar," Talot said.

"Hmm! Actually, I've already come up with a new idea. Recently, I've been researching time-space communication devices with my future self. Maybe when I get to your timeline, I can work with my future self to develop a groundbreaking machine. At that time, not only will we be able to teleport directly, but we might also be able to build a bridge connecting different timelines..." Talot could hardly imagine Bulma's bold idea.

As expected of Bulma. (End of Chapter)
