Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 41 Reassuring Princess: Home is wherever you are!

As darkness fell, dark clouds loomed overhead, and thunder rumbled. The entire sky looked as if the end of the world had arrived, making it exceptionally terrifying.

In the forest, a fierce wind howled continuously, causing the trees and flowers to sway violently.

As this prelude passed, a downpour descended from the sky, covering everything visible to the naked eye.

In a quiet valley.

Talot, Gine, and Serari stayed inside the spaceship to avoid the storm.

Unlike storms on other planets, the storms on this planet are true storms, with raindrops and even the intensity of the rain far exceeding that of ordinary storms.

There's a saying from a past life that perfectly describes this scene: it's as if water is truly pouring down from the sky.

If it weren't for the certainty that the spaceship could withstand the pressure, Talot would have already piloted it away from the Earth's surface.

In the spaceship.

As Talot observed the world outside swept by the torrential rain, his thoughts drifted away.

Before we knew it, nearly two hours had passed.

The rain subsided and turned into a drizzle. Just as Talot was about to go out for some fresh air, the combat power detector received a message.

The announcement from Frieza's army concerns the destruction of Planet Vegeta.

The sudden arrival caught Talot, who had been eagerly anticipating it, off guard.

"Finally, it's here?"

After a long period of building up his emotions, Talot finally muttered something to himself.

Since arriving on Planet Oyun...

Do not!

It should be said that ever since the day he set off, Talot had been calculating and keeping track of time.

He prepared too early, which caused him to gradually forget about it.

[I don't know if Bardak died in the explosion, or...] My mind involuntarily drifted towards that side story.

If he died in the planet's explosion, he would definitely use the Dragon Balls to wish for his resurrection.

However, if Bardock travels to a past time like in the side story, that would be a different story.

Talot had already considered this issue.

If Bardock really did travel through time, regardless of whether Shenron's power could bring him back, even if Bardock became a Super Saiyan in the past, Tarot, knowing this plot, didn't want to change it.

As their thoughts deepened, Gine and Serari, who had been resting in their cabin on the spaceship, rushed out.

Clearly, they must have just seen the news from the combat capability detector.

"Tarot, did you receive that? Planet Vegeta exploded due to the impact of a giant meteorite...!!" Gine said anxiously, her expression tense.

You could hear the tremor in her voice; she was shocked by the news and was also panicking.

There is no doubt that she is worried about Badak.

When she left Planet Vegeta, she had a strange feeling, and now that feeling that it might be the last time she saw him has come true.

Her feelings grew increasingly complicated, and her panic made her face turn pale, with cold sweat pouring down her body.

And there were already faint wisps of moisture in her eyes, and signs of her losing control of her emotions.

Just as Talot had predicted, Gine would definitely have an emotional outburst.

"I also received news of the explosion of Planet Vegeta, but Aunt Gine, don't worry. If the news is true, it has already happened. We can't panic. Instead, we should be glad because Uncle Bardock and I were right. At least we avoided the crisis of the planet exploding," Talot comforted her.

"Did Brother Talot and Uncle Bardock foresee this?" Serari interjected. "Why didn't they tell me?"

These words clearly implied that Talot had concealed the matter.

Clearly, Serarri was also having some trouble accepting it.

Although she is only five years old and has few worries, she is indeed very mature.

It's understandable that people are angry that such a big thing has been kept in the dark.

It's like everyone knows something big is about to happen, but your family excludes you. Even the most clueless person would feel like an outsider.

"It's my fault for not telling you. I was afraid that if I told you, you would feel guilty. Besides, nothing major has happened on Planet Vegeta lately, and we haven't received any bad news, so I naturally assumed that I was overthinking it." Talot comforted Serari, which was also a way of indirectly reassuring Gine.

Serena is easy to appease, but Gine might not be so.

Fearing being blamed by Gine, Talot could only speak in this way, distancing himself from the matter.

This at least shows that he couldn't make a judgment and didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

In this way, Gine won't develop a negative feeling towards him, and he can proceed with the next step of his plan.

"I suddenly feel like I'm dreaming. Talot, tell me, Bardock will be alright, right?" Gine kept taking deep breaths to try and keep herself from breaking down.

She wanted a definite answer.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have let Talot modify all the combat power detectors in the first place. Now they don't even have communication functions and can only passively receive messages.

"I think Uncle Bardock must have made up his mind. Besides, Uncle Bardock went out on a mission after we left Planet Vegeta. In such a short time, the mission should not be completed yet." Unable to tell the truth directly, Tarot could only tell a white lie.

However, he really couldn't determine whether Bardock was dead or alive.

After hearing Talot's words, Gine calmed down a little.

This is a way to give her some breathing room before she learns the truth.

"I understand how you feel, Aunt Gine. I know you probably want to go back immediately to see if the news is true, but I can't take you back right now."

"This is what Uncle Bardock told us before we set off! We must not answer or act on our own unless he contacts us or finds us."

"Furthermore, I suspect that the explosion of Planet Vegeta wasn't caused by a meteorite impact at all; Frieza was probably behind it all! If we go back now, we'll definitely be killed!"

Talot kept talking, trying to nip the fantasy in the bud.

Let Gine know that they must not expose themselves now; they cannot let Badak's preparations go to waste.

"But...but..." Hime's delicate body trembled.

She was conflicted because Talot was right.

"Brother Tarot, is it really true that we can't go back...? If Planet Vegeta really explodes, then we'll have no home left." Serari's words were tinged with sadness.

"No! As long as we're together, anywhere is home!" Talot sighed, understanding this sentiment.

This is just like how he can never return to Earth from his previous life; that Earth is the home that Talot truly believes in deep within his heart.

This is something that couldn't be changed even after spending five years on Planet Vegeta.
