Up on the Lookout, everything had been peaceful.
Then suddenly a violent, unfamiliar, and overwhelmingly powerful aura shot up from the ground like a pillar of flame.
Everyone's hearts clenched.
"That's a crazy ki!" Krillin's face changed. "Is it an enemy?"
"This aura… why is it so strong?" Master Roshi looked like he'd seen a ghost. "Did another powerhouse come to Earth?"
Just as everyone stood on edge, Dende's expression turned oddly complicated.
"Everyone, don't panic."
Then he told them what he'd witnessed an absurd scene that sounded like a bad joke.
Bajitena's trio had been chased all over the place by a green monster they'd created themselves… only for the monster to be taken down by an ordinary farmer.
"Saibamen?" Krillin understood immediately from the description. "Why did it get that strong?"
Piccolo frowned. "It's probably the soil. The Supreme Kai Planet's soil isn't just 'hard' anymore."
"Exactly. The Tree of Might could only be planted on the Supreme Kai Planet in the first place. If Earth's soil was remodeled, it was never going to be simple!"
Put that way, a Saibaman mutating suddenly felt… almost reasonable.
"But…" Roshi still couldn't wrap his head around it. "How is an ordinary farmer a match for that thing? And how did he transform into something that looked like Legendary Super Saiyan?"
No one could explain it.
After all, even they seasoned fighters still hadn't properly mastered a normal Super Saiyan transformation.
Levos was equally confused. When he'd made his wish, he definitely hadn't added any insane "farmer turns into Broly" effect.
Right as he was stuck, a fawning, self-satisfied voice chimed inside his head, as if proudly presenting a gift.
"Lord Levos, you've been worrying yourself sick over Earth's security. So I took the liberty of adding a little 'self-defense' feature to the wish."
It was Shenron Aodebiao.
"If a non-Earthling causes trouble on Earth, the Dragon Balls' power will grant special strength to all nearby Earthlings in the affected area. They will temporarily gain a Legendary transformation to stop the destruction."
Levos's mouth twitched. "So it's temporary?"
"Of course. The moment the incident ends, it disappears."
Levos thought about it and had to admit it made sense. Tens of billions of permanent Legendary Super Saiyans on Earth would be beyond ridiculous beyond terrifying.
And Aodebiao probably couldn't sustain something like that anyway.
Aodebiao continued, "If Earthlings want to truly master Saiyan transformations, they still need to train properly. This add-on is just an insurance policy so they have enough self-protection to avoid being bullied."
It was basically the universe's most top-tier security system installed directly onto Earth.
Levos couldn't help but respect it. Aodebiao really knew how to be helpful.
After Levos relayed the explanation, everyone fell into a long silence.
Vados smiled faintly and used divine power to conjure a crystal ball so everyone could watch what was happening on Bajitena's side.
Heads immediately crowded in.
Sure enough, Bajitena's trio fled into a city in disgrace then caused another incident because they drank milk tea without paying.
And then the exact scene everyone most wanted to see happened.
The cute milk tea shop clerk, the gawking bystanders on the street one after another, they transformed. Muscles swelling explosively, pupils vanishing, green hair spiking upward into a terrifying form.
"It really is identical to Bio-Broly's transformation…" someone muttered.
Bang bang bang!
The outcome was never in doubt.
After a merciless beating, Bajitena's trio was tossed out of the shop like trash faces swollen, bruised everywhere.
"Awesome! From now on, if aliens come to Earth to stir trouble, they'll definitely pay for it!"
"Earth is officially the safest place in the entire universe!"
After enjoying the show, they turned to analyzing the current state of Universe 7 using intel from Jaco and the Galactic Patrol.
"The Supreme Kai Planet is about to turn into a boiling pot!" Jaco's report said. "Cooler's forces and that Moro guy who broke out of the Galactic Prison both want to monopolize the planet!"
"And the Saiyan Empire has also assembled a massive army and is heading there!"
Cooler. Moro. The Saiyan Empire…
The universe's top-tier factions were converging and their goal was shockingly the same.
"Levos… when we sealed Fused Zamasu…" Piccolo suddenly remembered something and looked toward Vados.
Vados spoke casually, as if discussing the weather. "Oh, right. If they cause too much chaos and something happens to the seal… Zamasu might turn the whole universe into his handsome face."
The temperature in the Lookout seemed to drop in an instant.
Everyone remembered Fused Zamasu's horror far too clearly.
Back then, if Vados hadn't intervened, that immortal monstrosity made unkillable through the Super Dragon Balls would have contaminated the entire universe.
Just imagining the whole cosmos becoming that twisted, narcissistic face was enough to make their skin crawl.
"No way. We have to stop them!" Krillin shot to his feet first, expression grim. "We're going to the Supreme Kai Planet now!"
"Agreed." Tien rolled his shoulders. "Perfect. I need real combat to get used to this new power!"
"Count me in!" Yamcha's fighting spirit surged.
Levos originally wanted to take only the Son family.
But seeing the eager expressions on everyone's faces, he swallowed the words.
These guys… were definitely being influenced by that Saiyan combat blood in their veins.
"Fine. Then we go together." Levos sighed, nodding. He also wanted to see just how much they'd grown after gaining Saiyan blood.
"Everyone, form a circle."
After giving the order, Levos Instant-Transmissioned to Bajitena's side.
"Bajitena. Are you still going to fight on the Supreme Kai Planet?"
Bajitena's trio was sitting on the ground, filthy and battered, questioning their existence.
Hearing Levos's voice, she jolted almost instinctively about to refuse.
But the words caught in her throat.
She remembered her "noble prince" identity.
"Only cowards don't go!" Bajitena gritted her teeth and stood.
She had to see with her own eyes what this "ordinary Earthling" with such incomprehensible abilities was truly capable of.
…
Supreme Kai Planet.
The moment they stepped onto the dark purple ground, everyone felt a faint, oppressive pressure in the air.
Bajitena's trio and the Saiyan Empire soldiers immediately entered combat stance, scanning the surroundings with full alertness.
The Earth fighters, on the other hand, looked around curiously.
"This place has changed a lot since last time," Goku said in a low voice.
The land was cratered and cracked everywhere. More unsettling still something seemed to writhe inside the fissures, as if the entire planet were alive.
"The air smells different too," Krillin frowned.
"…." Levos glanced at the noseless alien.
"This is what the planet looks like after being contaminated by Fused Zamasu," Piccolo said heavily. "Or rather… this planet itself is Fused Zamasu."
Just then dozens of powerful auras rushed in from all directions!
"Enemies!" Bajitena shouted, and the soldiers snapped into a defensive formation.
Two groups appeared in the sky.
One side was a uniform army of metal android soldiers.
The other was Moro's Galactic Prisoner horde.
"Saiyan Empire don't you dare touch the planet Lord Cooler has claimed!"
"Moro-sama is short on nourishment. You'll do nicely!"
The two groups seemed to have formed an alliance and attacked at the same time.
A storm of energy blasts poured down. Every single shot was strong enough to erase an ordinary planet with ease.
"We're done…" Bajitena's trio realized the gap instantly.
The Saiyan Empire soldiers were even worse legs going weak under the terrifying barrage.
But the Earth fighters… charged forward instead.
"Parlor tricks." Yamcha snorted. "Spirit Ball!"
"Destructo Disc!"
"Neo Tri-Beam!"
BOOOOM !!!
The front line of metal android soldiers was blown into scrap.
A thick, square beam swept across the battlefield, blasting a huge section of prisoners away.
The remaining enemies were so shocked they turned and tried to flee.
"Running?" Tien's lips curled into a cold smile. He flashed in front of several fleeing troops and smashed them down.
The entire fight from start to finish lasted barely a dozen seconds.
When the dust settled, the three who'd struck first returned calmly to the ground like they'd done nothing at all.
Bajitena and every Saiyan Empire soldier she'd brought stood petrified.
Latiliss whispered blankly, "Why are they this strong without transforming…?"
"Is this… the purest Saiyan bloodline?"
That was the only thought left in Bajitena's head.
For the first time, she felt envy for the identity of "Earthling."
But she immediately shook it off violently.
"Damn it! How can I let these people outshine me!"
Her pride ignited.
Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a few Galactic Prisoners trying to slip away.
Anger surged straight to her head.
"You. With me!" Bajitena barked at Nanaba and Latiliss. "Let them see what a real Saiyan warrior looks like!"
She shot off like a beam of light, chasing them.
Nanaba and Latiliss exchanged a glance. Fear flickered, but they followed anyway.
The fleeing prisoners hadn't expected anyone to pursue. Their brief hesitation was enough for Bajitena's trio to cut them off.
"Trash." Bajitena crossed her arms and lifted her chin. "Ready to accept judgment?"
But instead of fear, the prisoners grinned viciously.
The leader a burly brute with four arms spoke in a low, hungry voice.
"Perfect. We'll use you little girls to warm up."
The battle exploded instantly.
Bajitena transformed into a Super Saiyan and struck first, firing a ki blast.
The four-armed brute took it head-on with his bare body and didn't even budge.
"What?!" Bajitena's heart lurched.
The next second, four fists slammed down like a hurricane.
She blocked desperately, but was forced back step by step each clash rattling her arms numb.
On the other side, Nanaba and Latiliss, also Super Saiyans, were pinned down by the other prisoners. Their situation was no better.
"Go to hell!" A panda-like alien formed an energy wave and launched a sneak attack.
The violent beam tore through the ground, aimed straight at Bajitena's face.
"Bad !" Her face turned white. She tried to dodge, but it was too late.
BOOM!
The blast detonated on her, driving her straight into the earth. Stone shattered. Dust swallowed everything.
"Cough… cough…" Bajitena crawled up from the crater, body screaming in pain. She couldn't even maintain Super Saiyan anymore.
One enemy after another landed around her.
"Nanaba… help me…" she reached out weakly.
Nanaba's eyes narrowed.
"A Saiyan who can't move is useless."
Then she turned without hesitation and fled dragging Latiliss away with her.
"You " Bajitena spat blood in fury.
She knew the Saiyan creed better than anyone.
But when that cruelty landed on her, the despair of being abandoned nearly crushed her will.
The four-armed brute approached with a savage grin and raised his fist.
Bang!
At the critical moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of Bajitena.
The newcomer lifted a single finger casually and stopped the heavy punch as if it weighed nothing.
"That's enough."
Goku's voice was calm and steady.
He flicked his finger.
The brute flew away like a cannonball and passed out on the spot.
The remaining prisoners turned to run in terror only to be precisely blown down by a few ki blasts from Goku.
When it was over, Goku turned to the stunned Bajitena, scratching his head.
Then he bent down and lifted the petite girl into his arms bridal-style.
Bajitena's brain went blank. The pain left her too weak to struggle.
Being held like this… by a man… for the first time in her life
When Goku carried her back to the others, Levos's face twitched uncontrollably.
Dende stepped forward to heal her. Green light flowed, quickly mending her wounds.
Her body recovered.
Her heart, however, hurt even more.
Bajitena stood there in a daze, watching the Earth fighters joking with each other, cooperating with effortless chemistry then remembering Nanaba abandoning her without a second thought.
Saiyan pride…
At this moment, it felt ridiculous. Worthless.
She even found herself envying the camaraderie these Earthlings showed in battle.
She wanted to say thank you, but the arrogance carved into her soul made her face burn red. Not a single word came out.
Trunks sighed. He decided there was no point hiding it anymore.
"Everyone… this is Bajitena." He hesitated, then said it. "She's actually… the reincarnation of my father, Vegeta."
"W-what?!" Tien and Yamcha nearly bit their tongues.
Bulma's eyes went wide as she looked Bajitena up and down. Her expression shifted from shock, to disbelief, to an odd smile she couldn't quite hold back.
Goku's eyes shone. He leaned in with pure fascination.
"Vegeta? You're really Vegeta? Let's spar!"
Bajitena's stubbornness flared again instantly.
"Hmph! I was just careless and got ambushed earlier. And this guy who can't even transform like a Saiyan thinks he can challenge me?"
She accepted on the spot.
The next second, a fist that looked slow yet was impossibly unavoidable landed on her face.
Bang!
An irresistible force blasted through her. Bajitena felt her whole face swell, tears bursting out uncontrollably.
"Waaah !"
She finally, completely, broke down dropping to the ground and pounding it with her tiny fists.
Bulma couldn't hold it anymore. She walked over and pinched Bajitena's puffed cheek.
"Oh wow. Never thought I'd see the day. Vegeta as a girl is… kind of cute."
That was gasoline on the fire.
Bajitena cried even harder.
