7 Chapter Seven: Oh! Another Dragonball

I was wasn't tired when I entered the house, I never was really. I don't get tired anymore, nor do I feel true hunger either. Eating and sleeping were more for luxury than need for me now that I was a Gamer. I knew this might be the case after day one when Gohan got worried about me not crying out for food or something. I never felt hunger, so I already knew my Gamer ability had some of the rarer functions. Even then, I had completely disregarded the fact that I spent sixty years in an alternate world without ageing at all, making that ability one of my most overpowered.

Looking around the house, I quickly found Bulma asleep in a sitting position on the coach. The TV was on and she was watching the weird show again, she must have stayed up waiting for me. I picked her up and brought her to the bed, laying her down and covering her up before heading back to sit on the coach. I sat down and turned off the TV, then started my plan. It was simple, While Bulma is asleep spam the shit out of ID Create/Escape and then get into bed a little before four as to not get caught.

It was monotonous and boring since I had no way to entertain myself during the spam session. Slowly increasing its level till it was a little before four, and checking my progress.

[ID Create/Escape]

Lvl 29 (1700/2900)

The ability to create a pocket dimension of your own choosing. That being either an empty copy of your current universe or a completely new environment. Comes with the ability to shatter said dimension to return.

Current IDs: Empty, Weak Monsters, Mid Monsters

Time Dilation: 1 minute/5 hours

Damn if that isn't a good dilation, I don't know what is. Now is the time for me to get in bed before Bulma wakes up. She usually wakes up around si, but I want a good amount of time before that for safety. I just laid there though, as I couldn't find it in me to go to sleep. So I ended up just laying there for an hour before I felt Bulma move. I had hoped when she moved it would be her waking up, but it wasn't. What actually happened, is she turned over and immediately wrapped me in a bear hug.

Now don't get me wrong, It didn't hurt, nor did I dislike it. It was more of, 'Holy shit, she's gonna kill' me when she wakes up.' So when an hour passed and I felt her sit up, I just laid there wondering how she would react. I heard her softly mumble about how she remembered falling asleep on the couch before she got out of bed. I later heard the shower come on and decided this was the time for me to "wake up."

I got up and went over to the coach, using my inventory to change clothes along the way. It occurred to me that I had always been wearing the original wardrobe of kid Goku. That being an orange training gi. I guess I had never really thought about my outfit, but now it's time for a change. I looked through clothes that I had kept from a visit to North City at one time, finding a black gi with a red belt and wristbands. I know, real original, but I genuinely like the color scheme for the aesthetic, not the emo look.

Having changed and not needing to bathe do to Game mechanics, thank you Gamer Gods, I sat on the couch and waited for Bulma. She seemed to be taking her sweet time in the shower, so I opened the menu to look over some things. I noticed that the exit game button was still there, and I had not used it for a long while. I began to wonder what routes I have unlocked by now but kept myself from going to look. I needed to save first anyways if I wanted to exit.

Bulma came out wrapped in a towel and grabbed some clothes. I paid no attention to her as I kept looking at my screen, didn't want to give her any ideas about being a pervert. She seemed to notice this though and came over to look at the panels in front of me.

"I've never seen this menu before, what is-" Bulma stopped dead in her tracks. I looked up to see her staring at a particular space on the screen, the exit game button. "Does that button mean what I think it means Hikari?" she asked shakily.

"I don't know what you're referring to, elaborate." I told her

"Does, does that button mean death for you?"

I stared at her for a few seconds before laughing. She seemed taken aback, but relieved at my dismissal of that chance. "Of course not, that button just exits this reality and takes me to a void. That is where I can choose to come back here or try another reality. Like one where I'm super powerful, or one where I was taken in by someone in the city. It's basically a giant AU void just for me." I explained to Bulma.

Bulma considered this for a while before speaking, "So there could be a universe where we never meet?" she asked, with an unexpected sad undertone.

"Well, of course, there would be, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't try to meet you in every one I can. Your fun to be around, so it's likely I would seek you out for company in those timelines." I said

"Of course you would Hikari, you would be lost without me!" She spoke in an overly dramatic fashion.

"I would be so very lost without you, I admit." I told her, playing along.

This continued back and forth before we laughed away the conversation from before. After we had gotten it out of our system, I packed up the house and we were off again. Your ass is mine hamburger-waiting-to-be you perverted ass pig.

It had been a long drive, but we eventually got to the little town where we would find Oolong. Like in the show, the town looked incredibly empty and deserted. I decided not to waste any time on this as I sensed someone else approaching the town. I turned to Bulma

"There is someone terrorizing this town, he's a shapeshifter so don't be fooled by any appearance he takes. He really likes women and will try anything to get them to go with him." I told her with a dead look. Bulma just nodded at me with slight fear. "Get inside one of the houses, I will take good care of this bastard." I said as I walked towards the middle of town.

"Um, ok Hikari." Bulma spoke softly. She then ran towards the same house they had hidden in the show.

'Huh, guess some things don't change too much.' I thought, 'Whatever, time to take care of a perverted piece of bacon.'

I stood there waiting for the little piece of shit to show himself. Oolong had stopped at the gate and I already know he was looking at me. He was probably wondering what I was doing. I decided that he wasn't worth the effort, and my aura burst out around me.

"Come out here you coward, I know you're at the entrance! Just give up shapeshifter!" I yelled out. His energy spiked a little, showing his fear at me knowing about his ability. Oolong walked out from behind the village gate, in his charming man transformation. I waited for him to get to me before I said something, "That's not your true form, I can sense the Ki surrounding you." A lie, but he wouldn't know that.

His face fell from the smile, and he ended his transformation. The pig now stood before me, and I couldn't hold back my disgust for him. I rose a hand, pointing a palm on him. His face showed confusion, before fear when he noticed the energy. I was charging a Kamehameha into the palm, and I really wanted to release it.

"Hikari!" I heard Bulma yell, "What are you doing!"

"I…" I stopped and ended the blast. "You get to live this time pig, but only because Bulma is here" I whispered to Oolong. He quickly nodded. "Now, go get the girls you took and bring them back here. If they aren't here within an hour, I'll come for you." I continued.

"I, I'll have them here in ten minutes, I promise!" Oolong yelled as he transformed into a bike and sped off.

"What was that before?" Bulma asked as she walked up to me, with some of the village.

"I wanted to kill him, but I decided not to. I need him to go get the girls." Some of the villagers gasped while Bulma looked at me in confusion.

"Why would you want to kill him though? He seems harmless."

"That's exactly why, he seems harmless. In actuality, he is a massive pervert who stops at nothing to get some action. If that means kidnapping, he will do it. Thankfully, he's too much of a pussy to rape someone, so he likely hasn't done anything to the girls."

The villagers seemed relieved at that, while Bulma now showed a face of disgust. "Ok, I understand now, but how do you know so much about him?" Damn, she really is perceptive.

"I've known about him for a while, I told you I can sense lifeforce. I just didn't have the transportation to get here and deal with it, until you came along that is. Now we just wait for him to bring the girls back, then I'm turning him into the police for the kidnapping of young girls." I told her.

"Alright Hikari, I'm just going to wait with the priest for a bit." She said as she walked away.

"I'll keep an eye on Oolong. Oh wait, priest?" I spoke

"You may call me Sherman, what do you need?"

"Does someone here happen to have an orange ball with stars inside it?"

An old lady comes forward with the ball, "why do you want it, child?"

"It's an artifact that my family was tasked to look over, it has incredible magic power. There is an evil organization looking for all seven of these Dragonballs. I must ask that you let me take it away from here. I don't want innocents getting caught in the crossfire between me and the Red Ribbon Army." I explained

The villagers all recognized the name and the old lady immediately gave it to me. "I hope you know what your doing, going against those terrible people." she said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I am literally one of the strongest people on Earth right now. I really mean that." I said, putting the Dragonball in my inventory behind my back.

They dispersed and I stayed where I was, waiting for Oolong to bring the girls. It was about eight minutes later that I saw the pink van coming to a stop at the village gates. I walked up to the van, busting the door open.

"Ooohhh, who is that?" One of the girls asked.

"I am Hikari, the one who kicked the pig's ass. Now, everyone out of the van." I said.

They all stared at me before following my order to get out. Oolong stopped in front of me, opening his mouth to speak. Before he could, I grabbed him and used instant transmission to take him to north city. Dropping him off, knocked out and tied up, with a note stating his crimes and the phone number of Bulma in case they need evidence. Teleporting back to the village, I picked up Bulma from the priest and we were off again.

As per usual, we ended up putting the house down for the night, Bulma getting a shower and going right to sleep. I decided some training is in order, I want to be stronger than Goku was at the beginning of Z before getting past the Pilaf saga. First, though, I'm going to spam instant transmission to travel between Roshi and Bulma as many times as possible. It seems to gain one hundred exp per use. It's already level three.

Let's Begin...
