3 Chapter 3: The Lookout

Mr.Popo is a short plump humanoid Genie with pointy ears, black colored skin and, big red lips with a plain blank stare.

He was reminiscent of a black face cartoon to the point where he was turned blue in some of his appearances.

He does not have any teeth or a nose and is usually always seen smiling.

He is always seen wearing a white turban adorned with a blue jewel on his forehead, he has golden hooped earrings on each ear and wears a maroon patterned gold trimmed sleeveless vest as well as golden arm bands on his upper arms.

He wears a red sash around his waist with white pants and is also seen sporting a pair of red slippers with white soles.

He's in possession of a magic carpet that lets him travel anywhere in the world instantaneously and, works as the assistant deity who serves the Earth's Guardian Kami.

Despite his job sounding important he is usually just seen cleaning up around the place and occasionally will train Earthlings to deal with dangerous enemies that threaten the world.

Mr.Popo has a deep emotional bond with Kami and will become incredibly depressed or worried if he undergoes any harm.

Luckily for me, Kami also has some complexity to his character, as even though he was the Guardian of Earth he felt undeserving of the title.

This is because King Piccolo and Piccolo's existence relied on him being alive, leading him to want to take his own life on several occasions in the series.

I could use this to guilt trip him into making him train me, I walked towards Mr.Popo showing no signs of hostility and waved my hand calling out to him as a friendly gesture.

Vocado : "Hey um is Kami home? I just want to talk about trai.."

Mr.Popo "Haaai."

Vocado : "uh hi, (cough*) so I was hoping he could trai…"

Mr.Popo : "Byyye."

I was thrown off by his attitude he never acted like this in any of the continuities.

His presence even felt a little ominous then the expected calm and laid back response I figured he would have.

The way he talked wasn't bad and even came off as friendly but it was his overall vibe and tone that were throwing me off.

Before I could even say another word he suddenly started sprinting towards me with his face frozen in a blank smile.

That shit creeped me right the fuck out.

He was starring at me, the way a fat kid stares at a twinkie.

Vocado : "No wait hold up! I come in peace! If you get any closer i'm warning you!"

His smile grew wider and a loud crunching and metallic creaking noise could be heard coming from him.

It was as if the noise had come from just making the smile on his face grow wider.

Mr.Popo : "I like you."

That last part sent shivers down my spine.

Why was he acting like this what's wrong with him?

I started firing my arm blaster and running away to keep some distance between us

I absolutely cannot afford to face him in close combat as I never learned how to fight.

Not to mention this body may be stronger than my human counterpart but Mr.Popo is a being who has lived over a thousand years and is an expert martial artist.

I ran around the lookout at high speeds firing pot shot's but he would dodge them effortlessly and continue chasing me getting closer and closer each time.

He said in a nonchalant tone

Mr.Popo : "You can run but you can't hide Maggot."

Vocado : "Eat Laser! Asshole!"

I started firing nonstop recklessly out of panic while running.

When suddenly I realized what he had just said "Maggot".

Wait don't tell me there is only one continuity where Mr.Popo calls others "Maggot" the Team Four Star / T.F.S continuity.

But that's an abridged series how the fuck is that even possible!?

Then again if I think about it, the fact that I even reincarnated in the world of Dragon Ball is pretty impossible.

But there's no way that could be the case Mr.Popo in the T.F.S series is practically a god and he would have already killed me if he was that version of Mr.Popo.

But one thing's for certain this isn't the Anime or Manga this continuity is something else entirely.

Even though what I just said would prove to be a wrench in my plans for the future as it would make my knowledge of the future worthless.

I could not help but smile after all what kind of Dragon Ball fan wouldn't be excited for an all new, all different kind of Dragon Ball adventure.

I should find out if Time Patroller's are a thing it would be great if I could travel through Xenoverse and explore other continuities.

As I was distracted by my delusions of adventure I hadn't noticed the ki blast headed straight for me until it was already too late!

Vocado : "Holy Shit!"

It was a direct hit I was blown back into the edge of the lookout almost falling off.

I got back on my feet panting I managed to block in the nick of time with my arms but they were heavily injured and bleeding luckily the arm blaster was still intact.

I was able to endure the pain and ignore it and continued firing after all compared to the pain of drinking the Ultra Divine Water this was nothing!

But instead of dodging the blasts he just stood there and with a mocking "aaah" noise he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the blast, slurping it up and shooting it back out at me.

Vocado: "Ah Fuck I forgot he could do that!"

Not only was the blast faster than before but it was a lot bigger and had a bluish glow to it.

Vocado: "Whoa!" (Vwoosh!)

I dodged it barely and kept firing hoping that he couldn't catch them all and I could overwhelm him with a barrage.

But with every shot he spat them back out at me.

At first I was fine just dodging them all but the evil bastard started aiming at the ground so even if I evaded the attack the collateral damage from the debris would still hit me or get in my eyes.

(*Pew) (*Pew) (*Boom!) (*Pew) (*Pew) (*Boom!)

Vocado: "Dammit My Eye's!"

the debris and dust irritated my eyes leaving me open to a blast.

Vocado: "Fu-(*Boom!)-Aah!"

I picked myself up from the ground I was left in a pretty sorry state feeling sore all over.

Shit! This thing is useless! I screamed internally at my arm blaster.

Mr.Popo : "Your the first challenger i've had in centuries. This is exciting if you want to go see Kami you must fight me Mr.Popo."

That's right I forgot to mention that one of this guys weird habits is referring to himself in the third person I hope that doesn't get old soon.

Mr.Popo : "And if you win the match you will be able to meet Kami."

Vocado : "So as long as I win the match, I get to meet Kami is that right?"

Mr.Popo : "That's right Maggot Now prepare to Di....'

Vocado : "Little Green! Get the Fuck up here Right Now!"

Mr.Popo: "Little Green?"

I called Little Green using the scouter to message him via the space pod, with the flying nimbus it shouldn't take long for him to arrive.

It was never stated exactly how powerful Mr.Popo was in Dragon Ball but Little Green should be enough to kill him with self destruct.

After all this Mr.Popo seemed a lot more intense than the one I remembered from the show.

And unlike with Goku he is attacking me with killing intent!

It's better to live with regret than to die without any.

Even if it changes the overall story I must survive at all cost and I think I'll start by killing this jolly fucker first!

When Mr.Popo began to slowly walk towards me.

I anxiously backed away shooting him was pointless and would do more harm then good.

Best bet I had was to use Little Green but i'm so fucking pissed right now! This is humiliating!

I cant just stand here and do nothing!

The more desperate my situation became the more my saiyan urges flared up.

I really wanted to stand my ground and fight, but the human part of me was screaming to run away from this freak.

Mr.Popo : "What's wrong maggot scared?"

The fat jolly bastard began giggling with a tyrannical aura surrounding him I felt a genuine sense of fear and regret.

Mixed in with that fear was rage, it was safe to say that I was more saiyan then human at this point because I was dangerously close to hitting my breaking point.

The way he talked just pissed me off!

It didn't help being saiyan as I seemed to be especially sensitive to respond with violence.

I tried to calm down and keep backing away but my legs stopped listening to me and stayed still while my body was moving on its own getting ready for a fight.

The more I looked at his stupid smiling face the angrier I got.

With every passing second I could feel my rage boil over.

It felt like I would start vomiting blood at any moment.

Vocado : Yargh! Fuck this! Fuck You! Fuck this Lookout! And Fuck Your Dog Shit Ability!

I lost control of my anger and charged at him he seemed to smile wider and act like it was nothing which only further infuriated me.

I wildly swung my small arms repeatedly left and right and tried kicking him but he dodged and blocked everything while giggling along the way.

I could feel my anger rise to an unnatural degree even in my previous life I had never gotten this angry before.

Even when I was run over by a fucking Truck as my flurry of attacks continued and gained momentum.

Mr.Popo was being pushed back a little and had to step back as I was slowly advancing, deciding that enough was enough Mr.Popo countered with a single punch.

That one punch across my jaw was enough to bash my brain against my skull and send me flying across the lookout.

I landed face first on the floor I had the wind knocked out of me and I felt something in my neck break the moment my chin hit the floor.

I heard a distinct snap noise emanate from my neck. I felt an electric shock course through my body I was paralyzed and I couldn't breathe.

I was getting nauseous and dizzy while my consciousness was fading.

My scouter had broken from the impact so I couldn't contact Little Green.

Shit where the fuck is that Green Asshole!?

I heard a distinct noise come from behind me I couldn't look back to see who it was.

But I had a pretty good idea...

Flying on a Nimbus Cloud Little Green appeared.

Little Green: "Giii!"

Vocado : "Took you long enough. You green bastard..."

Mr:Popo : " Is this that Little Green One you spoke of? He does not appear that impressive, Maggot you better not disappointment Mr.Popo."

My mouth had started oozing out blood and my vision was blurring I was dying.

Little Green noticed this and rushed to my aid, he still had the Senzu bean from when I drank the Ultra Divine Water at Korin's Tower and fed it to me.

When I swallowed the bean all my injuries had healed and I felt stuffed but more importantly I had gotten another Zenkai Boost!

I couldn't tell how much my power had increased because of my broken scouter but I could tell it was substantial I felt at least two times stronger than before.

I grabbed Little Green and pulled him closer whispering my plan to him before I charged towards Mr.Popo firing my arm blaster again while yelling.

Vocado: "Now!"

As expected he swallowed the blasts and fired them back I dodged as best I could barely avoiding them and continued firing.

But with every explosion I would be hit with some debris and some shards would stab into my body I yelped in pain a bit, but my body was tougher than before making it easier to endure.

I kept at it aiming for his head to get as much attention from him possible.

I needed to keep him from figuring out my plan while Little Green was following behind me taking a good portion of the damage from the debris too.

When I was close enough I braced for impact and intentionally tanked a blast wave to the face while Little Green used my body as a meat shield to get close enough to Mr.Popo.

Thanks to my earlier Zenkai Boost I was able tank it, but because It still hit me directly in the face I was left badly wounded.

My right eye was blinded and the only thing I could hear was a ringing beep and muffled sounds not to mention the large burn mark left on my face.

Using the opportunity Little Green jumped out from behind me and latched onto Mr. Popo's head and exploded before he could finish talking.

Mr.Popo : "You Would Da…" (KABOOM!)

The explosions shock wave pushed me back while I was busy eating a senzu bean to recover healing my wounds.

When the dust cleared Mr.Popo was lying on the floor with his eyes wide open blinking stupidly.

Shit! I need to escape this guy's a monster!

He sat up and began laughing I honestly didn't know how to react because that was either.

A.). Haha Good Job funny

or

B). Haha You're Dead funny.

I was getting ready to jump off the ledge with my current power level I might survive.

Honestly my odds of survival were better jumping than taking my chances with that freak.

Mr.Popo : "Congratulations You Pass Maggot."

Vocado : "...."

Mr.Popo : "I have a feeling Mr.Popo and you are going to get along just fine Maggot."

The same creaking and crunching noise could be heard coming from him as his smile grew larger.

I couldn't help but think that apart from the Truck that noise will forever haunt my dreams.

Vocado : "Where's Kami?"

Kami : "Right here, now what business do you have with me?"

I was surprised by his sudden appearance and wondered how long he had been standing there.

From my point of view the Old Slug seemingly appeared out of thin air.

I puffed up my chest and with confidence I spoke loudly but respectfully

Vocado : " I would like you to train me and in exchange I can offer you a deal."

Kami : "I don't deal with your kind now get off my Lookout and never return young one."

Vocado : "Wait! The Earth is in danger I could offer you valuable information."

Kami : "Are you death young one leave my Palace immediately! Mr.Popo take care of this "thing" it displeases me."

Mr.Popo : Yes Kami, you heard him Maggot shall I kick you out or will you jump?"

Kami began walking back inside the temple, Shit! Last chance! It might mess up the future but i'll be damned if this was all for nothing!

Vocado : "I can help you Defeat King Piccolo if you train me!"

Kami stopped walking and turned back to look at me with a serious expression.

He did not open his mouth but instead communicated telepathically,

Kami could sense when a person lied in his telepathic communication so I had to be tricky with my answers yet convincing enough to get him to agree .

(Kami : "Young one for what purpose did you seek me?").

(Vocado: "To get Stronger and protect the people I love!"/ True Meaning : I love only Myself).

(Kami: "You are not of this planet why did you come here?").

(Vocado : "We are sent to conquer planets by an evil tyrant named Frieza who wishes to conquer not only this planet but every other planet in the universe." / Truth).

(Vocado : "I need to get stronger before he destroys any more innocent life!" / True Meaning : I need to get stronger to save my own innocent life).

Kami looked satisfied with my answers he cut off the telepathic communication and nodded his head.

It looks like it was a success!

Kami : "Mr.Popo it appears I have changed my mind, you will train this young one until you feel he is ready."

Mr.Popo : "Yes Kami Mr.Popo will train this Magg...Young one well."

Kami walked off and I was guided into the room of spirit and time or the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Mr.Popo explained the mechanics behind the mystical place as well as some lore behind it.

Which to put it shortly was a place located inside the Lookout where One year inside the chamber an empty dimension is the equivalent to one day on the outside and so my training would finally begin...
