Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

at the same time.

Inside the time tunnel.

Since leaving the hyperspace world, Talot quickened his pace, following the guidance of the markings, and headed towards his destination.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Talot appeared outside the marked spacetime world.

"Finally, we're back! Serari, Bulma, Tarora, Talos, Aunt Gine, Uncle Bardock, Raditz, Goku, everyone..."

Standing here, Talot's mind was filled with longing.

Looking back on the moment I left, it feels like just yesterday.

So much has happened without me even realizing it.

Thinking back on all these years of experience, even though I keep seeing the same people in other time and space worlds, they are just similar.

Taking a deep breath, Talot calmed himself down, then raised his hand and opened a time tunnel leading to the main world.

The connection point wasn't anywhere else, but right at home.

It is also a private residential estate in the form of a multi-functional capsule.

……

Within the world.

With the appearance of a spacetime rift, the power of spacetime spread out from it.

Before long, a figure stepped out of the crack and stood in this world.

The time tunnel vanished rapidly, disappearing without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Back on Earth, it was daytime. Talot looked down and took in everything.

Although things are somewhat different now, and the manor is bigger, it's still a familiar home, especially everything around the main house remains unchanged.

Sensing the aura, his divine sense instantly explored everything he wanted to know.

I landed by the pond in the garden of the main house, and smelled the familiar scents. Even the fragrance of flowers carried by the breeze smelled like home.

This is something that cannot be experienced in other time and space worlds.

As Talot strolled toward the main house, he carefully observed his surroundings and took the opportunity to gain a sudden insight, elevating his state of mind to a higher level.

Unbeknownst to them, they arrived at the main house, and Talot habitually pushed open the door and entered.

Because it didn't make any noise, it wasn't noticed by anyone at first.

Bulma and Serarra were sitting at the coffee table in the living room, chatting away, completely unaware that the person they longed for had returned and was watching them.

Talot stood there quietly, looking at them, his eyes slightly moist, his throat feeling like something was stuck in it. He had so much to say, but it was all stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say.

I'm back?

Have you been waiting long?

Or perhaps, various interpretations?

Talott was filled with guilt and longing for the two women.

"Cerare..."

"Bulma..."

After a very long time of preparation, Talot finally called out the names of the two women.

The two people who heard the call were startled and froze, their hands that were holding teacups also stopping.

"Seriously, it seems like I'm starting to hallucinate."

"No, I think I heard that too, Bulma."

The two women said something to each other before slowly turning their heads to look at the front door.

Disbelief flashed in their eyes. For a moment, the two women seemed to think they were seeing things and rubbed their eyes frantically.

Once they confirmed that it was Talot who had returned, the emotions hidden deep in their hearts erupted instantly.

Surprise, resentment, pain...

At that moment, everything turned into tears.

Serari was the first to stand up, quickly walked to Talot, stopped, and repeatedly confirmed that Talot was back before she finally erupted uncontrollably.

She threw herself into Talot's arms and began to vent her emotions without restraint.

Talott hugged Serari tightly, expressing his own feelings as well.

It wasn't until much later that Serari felt much better and calmed down.

She's easy to appease, but Bulma isn't so easily fooled.

Bulma remained standing there, sobbing uncontrollably, watching Talot and Serarra embrace.

Actually, she also thought about it, and was even a little jealous, but it was indeed Ceravia who took the initiative to go over, and because she didn't react for a moment, she just watched until now.

Having suppressed her negative emotions for seventeen years, Bulma wouldn't hate Talot, but as a woman, even if that's what she thought in her heart, she would still pretend to be angry on the surface.

"Bulma, I'm back." After letting go of Serari, Talot took her hand and walked up to Bulma.

He knew Bulma was strong-willed, so she wouldn't easily show her vulnerable side.

Seeing her husband so close, Bulma finally couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Talot's arms.

Unlike Serari, Bulma cried and pounded on Talot's chest.

Talot quietly absorbed what Bulma had said, taking it all to heart.

"Bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard! So many years have passed, why are you only coming back now?! Do you know how much we've suffered these past seventeen years!... Do you know how painful it is for us to think that you might have encountered danger and not come back...?"

Talot hugged Bulma tightly, and at the same time saw Serari still with tears in her eyes, so he used his other hand to pull her into his arms.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault! I shouldn't have lingered in other timelines. I should have come back sooner. I never imagined that this trip would last for seventeen years..." Talot was shocked, finding it hard to believe that Serari and Bulma had waited for him for seventeen years.

He didn't initially perceive the passage of time because they didn't age; they remained in their prime.

After mentally calculating the time, Talott became somewhat numb.

Who would have thought that we'd already be in the era of the Majin Buu Saga?

A very, very long time has passed.

Serarra quieted down, and Bulma quieted down too.

After all the negative emotions have fully erupted, what remains is an abundance of love.

After sitting down on the sofa, Talot told them everything that had happened to him. Although he couldn't tell them everything, he at least told them the whole story.

They even revealed the story of Bulma and Android 18 from another timeline.

Talot knew that now was not the time to speak, but he had to. If he concealed the truth and waited until later, he feared he would incur the wrath of Serari and Bulma.

Fortunately, nothing that Talott wanted to see happened.

Bulma and Android 18, who came from another timeline, were quickly accepted by Seraril and Bulma.

In particular, there is some resonance between the two Bulma, but in order to better distinguish them in the future, the Bulma from the Android timeline voluntarily changed her name to Bulma, so that there will be no confusion in the future.

As for Android 18, because she is an android, although she knows about the development of that world, an android incident also occurred in the past of this timeline.

The most crucial point is that both No. 17 and No. 18 are alive. If they meet again in the future, then we'll have to make things clear.

"Alright, that's about all I've been through. Now, who can tell me what's happened on Earth all these years?" Opening up without any secrets earned him the trust and forgiveness of Serari and Bulma.

"In these seventeen years, a lot has indeed happened on Earth, including the android incident that occurred seven years ago, which I just mentioned..." As Bulma began to explain, Talot listened attentively without interrupting.

Serarra added that the two women did their best to recount the entire process of the past seventeen years.

"I see. So the main change was Uncle Bardock's return seven years ago, which led to the Homunculus incident. It surprised me, as I didn't expect a Cell who devours his own kind to appear... Fortunately, even without me, you managed to resolve this crisis. I can tell from your strength, Serari. You've been working hard to train all these years," Talot said with emotion.

Based solely on his perception, Talot was certain that Serari's normal combat power reached 1000 billion points.

That's 1000 billion!

Although they are far inferior to him now, they became stronger by relying on their own power after he was no longer a variable in this timeline.

Thinking back to when he left, Serari's normal combat power was only 90 million points. Although there were signs of him breaking 100 million before he left, he did not achieve it.

If Serari is this good, Talott can hardly imagine the progress of the others.

Especially Raditz and Vegeta.

Of course, there's also Kakarot.

Besides Cell's involvement in the Android incident, which deserves special mention, there was also an earlier incident where Frieza's army came to Earth, secretly trying to find the Dragon Balls to revive Frieza, but they were discovered and driven away.

There have indeed been many minor crises like this, but they have all been insignificant.

Then, in the seven years following the android incident, some major events occurred. Talot did not expect his involvement, and the bosses that appeared in the movie still appeared.

Especially the resentful warrior Hatchiak.

The most surprising thing is that Satan actually became the savior of the world, just like in the original story, and it was because of Bulma's support.

After learning the details, Talot was both amused and exasperated, never expecting things to turn out this way.

However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the world that belongs to him is the main world, so there is no need to dwell on the fact that Videl should have been Gohan's wife in the original work.

"Speaking of which, is that Satan reliable? We can't just let him run rampant because of his daughter." Talot took a sip of water and changed the subject.

Speaking of Satan, Talot did indeed ponder it deeply during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.

The initial thought was that because of his existence, Satan should not have such a future.

Who knew it would develop to this extent?

"As long as you don't object, this is my own decision. Everyone is only holding back their anger and leaving this matter alone because of you and Serari," Bulma said with a helpless smile.

"How so?" Talot asked, puzzled.

"The gist of it is that everyone was extremely angry at Satan for stealing the credit for defeating Cell and saving the world. Even though no one was interested in the empty title of savior, having one's credit stolen was a different matter. Not to mention others, you know Raditz and Nappa's tempers, and Tarot, and the younger generation of children, they all had their own ideas and were clamoring to go and settle accounts with Satan." Serari explained to Bulma.

Upon hearing this, Talot suddenly realized what was going on and continued, "So Bulma and you stepped in and did this in my name?"

"Actually, I think that although Satan is a bit vain, he is indeed a talented person. He is not only eloquent, but also able to easily fool ordinary people. In addition, his daughter is close to our son, so I made the decision to let him maintain peace on Earth in the open. At least he can do some things to stabilize people's hearts and prevent people from panicking because of some small things... In addition, after Satan became the savior, he also entered our circle. With the conglomerate he created, he just happens to provide for everyone's living needs, so everyone does not need to worry about making a living..." Bulma stopped here.

She was watching Talot's expression.

After all, it was her own decision. Although it wasn't a big deal, she did use Talot to suppress everyone.

Seeing that Bulma had stopped talking, Talot didn't care about such a trivial matter.

"You're my wife, so what are you worried about? I'll support you unconditionally in whatever you want to do. You've done a great job. Seven years have passed, and the Earth is still at peace. Doesn't that prove you were right?" Talot gave Bulma a deep look to put her at ease.

Over the past seventeen years, Bulma must have done a lot, too much to recount in one breath. Tarot trusts Bulma, so he can learn about her little by little in the future.

This time he's back, and he won't leave again.

Unless there is absolutely no other way but to leave.

With Tarot's comforting words, Bulma felt a sense of absolute security, and all her previous gloom dissipated.

"By the way, you were just saying that Talos and Gohan went to school together today?" Talos asked in a surprised tone as the topic returned to his children.

The main reason is that he recalled the scene in the original work where Son Gohan went to school. He was thinking about how the story would develop if his own son joined the group and he and Videl had already established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Bulma nodded, smiling slightly helplessly, "You weren't here, so you don't know. If you were here, perhaps he wouldn't be like this..."

Bulma's words made Talot feel guilty again.

"You've suffered, Bulma."

"It's alright. Although that kid has made me angry quite a bit, he's actually very smart and knows how to be considerate of me. It's just that he's usually too lazy. He was better in previous years, knowing how to cultivate and become stronger, knowing how to learn techniques from me, and having clear goals. But in recent years, he's started thinking about playing all day long and doesn't take his studies seriously anymore... So I gave him a strict order: he must get his graduation certificate from Orange Star High School," Bulma said fiercely.

The saying goes that a doting mother spoils her son, and Bulma, fearing that her son would become increasingly lazy, used this method.

"Just in case, Bulma also arranged for Talos and Gohan to go to school in Satan City together. On the one hand, Videl is at Orange Star High School, so maybe it can help him settle down, and on the other hand, he can also work on his relationship with Videl," Serarry added.
