Episode 18: (Son Goku Saga) The Emperor’s Quest

Dragon Ball – Scene 18.0: Earth, Mt. Paozu [Wesker's Secret Laboratory], September 2nd, After Midnight, Age 749

Inside a special location in his laboratory, Wesker is calibrating his ultimate creation: A Perfect Clone of Mauka except that the clone has been modified to have Blonde Hair, White Skin and Cat-Like Red Eyes as this clone of Mauka has the same physical traits as Wesker himself as he wants this clone to represent his ideal future for the entire Dragon Ball World and quite possibly all realities. While working with this clone that is inside a capsule pod filled with blueish-green liquid, Hemlock appears behind Wesker with a new Time Breaker Mask with a miniaturized P30 Injector replacing the Time Breaker Gem/Insignia on the mask, making the control over him much more stable than before.

Hemlock:

Now that is an interesting construct. I knew you were obsessed with Mauka, but I wasn't expecting it to be at this extent.

Wesker:

Son Goku is an interesting subject, I am not going to lie…but I believe that the wish his father, Bardock made is what sullies my interest in him. The wish he made to the Cerealian Dragon, Toronbo is what ruins the mystery behind his talents for me. I feel that Goku did not made it into the world on his own merit, but his father making such a wish. I believe that if that wish wasn't made, he would have never made it as far as he did.

Hemlock:

That wish became null and void as it was fulfilled when Son Gohan was born. When a Parent wishes for their children to thrive, it means that they want them to continue their family legacy. In order to attain that, their children must berth children of their own for that to be a reality.

Wesker:

That make sense, but allow me to ask this – If what you say is true, then why Raditz wasn't allowed to thrive even though Bardock wished that for him as well? For all we know, Raditz has not thrived; he only survived until he met his younger brother. Unless he secretly had an offspring that none are aware of.

Hemlock:

Not possible. There are no records of Raditz doing such a thing, especially with Nappa and Vegeta breathing down his neck all his life after the destruction of Planet Vegeta.

Wesker:

What if Raditz lost his reproductive capabilities? He would not be able to thrive if that was the case.

Hemlock:

That is a possibility, but we also need to take into account that Dragon Balls exists. He could have wish for that to be restored. But you must also take into account that before meeting his older brother, Kakarotto has been in countless situations that should have normally killed him. Raditz was, or here in the Dreamscape, is under the protection of his father's wish. I highly doubt he lost the ability at any point before meeting Kakarotto.

Wesker:

Then we have reached an impasse. We cannot say why Raditz could not thrive in a similar manner as his younger brother, Goku.

Hemlock:

Agreed. But allow me to re-state – Toronbo's Protection over Kakarotto ended as soon as his child, Son Gohan was born. When Kakarotto was brought back to life in order to fight Prince Vegeta up until today, all of his achievements are his own, not the wish his father, Bardock made for him.

Wesker:

Understood. Are you stable enough to work?

Hemlock:

Affirmative. This addition to my mask you implemented is keeping me stable since my reactivation. Although…I believe this clone of Mauka might not be as loyal as myself once she's deployed.

Wesker:

She will be loyal. I modified this clone using the research notes of Project W in order to insure her to be linked to me.

Hemlock:

Project W?

Wesker:

It was also known as the Wesker Plan. It was a eugenics project pioneered by Oswell E. Spencer which intended to develop an advanced race of human beings. The project was named after the first director of the project, Dr. Wesker and all successful child candidates are renamed with this surname. This was one of the most significant viral operations centering around the Progenitor Virus. This project was also highly classified to the extent that it was not even included among the Umbrella Archives or in the U.M.F.-013 Computer Core. After confronting Spencer, I learned everything, killed him and decided to move forward with my own plans, but not before learning more about my conception. The idea of manufacturing an advance race of humans is an interesting concept. So why not do so using a powerful alien race…like a Saiyan…?

Hemlock:

Is that why you chose Mauka as your subject? Is the reason you didn't choose Kakarotto is because of Bardock's Wish?

Wesker:

Indeed. I will call this clone – Adeline. Right now I am feeding Adeline Mauka's DNA once a month in order for her to become aware of all of Mauka's Memories, experiences and power. By the time Adeline awakens, she will be far superior than Mauka herself.

(Evil Chuckle)

Hemlock:

...…

Wesker:

So it is just the two of us?

Hemlock:

Yes. Since we haven't found the one named "Dagger", Broly won't be able to join us until he is freed from the prison she placed him in. Towa and Mira are looking for them now as we speak.

Wesker:

To be honest I would appreciate if they don't find them just yet. That monster is too powerful and too unhinged to be controlled. His hatred for Goku is so severe, he will destroy everything before all of our goals starts to bear fruit.

Hemlock:

Agreed. Broly's hatred is indeed like an uncontrollable raging wildfire. Even with Bardock's Wish granting Kakarotto safety like a divine protection, Broly's Rage is like a demonic counterbalance and possibly bypassing such protections.

Wesker:

In there we are in agreement. I look forward for your contributions, Hemlock.

Hemlock:

I live to serve, Wesker-Sama.

Wesker:

Very well. From now on you will survey Mauka in my stead. I will send a B.O.W. to you when I can. Right now I am running low on my catalog since I am repurposing them with my new N-Virus. A good number of them are incompatible with it, so they needed to be discarded.

Hemlock:

Is Adeline an N-Virus B.O.W.?

Wesker:

Indeed. Since Adeline has been created through a normal cloning process, however unlike myself and the other 12 Wesker Children who were taken from around the world, I introduced the Progenitor Virus into her embryo as soon as she was conceived, so it would be part of her metabolism from the get-go and not create complications in the long run; as we Wesker Children either died as soon as we were infected with the Progenitor Virus or created an instability within our bodies that we need constant medication in order to remain functional.

Hemlock:

How many of you survived the injection of the Progenitor Virus?

Wesker:

Myself and my female counterpart, Alex Wesker. However you already know the final fate for both of us, don't you?

Hemlock:

...…

Wesker:

No matter. After creating the Prototype Clone that I used the day Son Gohan died, I managed to understand what I needed in order to focus on Adeline's development.

(Evil Smile)

She will be my ultimate creation, far more superior than Uroboros. I look forward when she becomes operational.

(Evil Chuckle)

Dragon Ball – Scene 18.1: Earth, Mushroom Forest [Pilaf's Castle]

Just like in the original timeline: Pilaf is eating dinner, he hears Shu's report on trying to locate their next Dragon Ball, but after doing so, Pilaf is furious to hear that Shu couldn't find the Dragon Ball as he reminds his minion that they might not be the only ones looking for them. Pilaf then opens a small chest holding the 1-Star Dragon Ball as he monologues that he is the only one deserving of the power of the legendary items. He tells Shu that "Evil Guys" wanting the Dragon Balls for World Domination as Shu points that they are gunning for World Domination too, only for Pilaf to say that he's different, for he is a refined guy that only wants World Peace and everyone in the world to be more mindful of their manners. An example is that he will severely punish those who pee in public and anyone who farts will be chopped up and turned into his namesake…only for him to fart. Ashamed, he "Annoyingly" looks at Shu and demands it was him, but when Shu says he wasn't, Pilafruns to the entrance of his dinning room and pushes the button next to the door entrance which activates 4 mechanical arms that pops out of the ground and roof as they grab Shu by his arms and legs; Shu screams as the mechanical arms holds him up in the air. Pilaf also threatened Shu with a chainsaw until the Dogman took the wraps of Pilaf's actions. Suddenly, hey hear Mai's voice as she enters the room and kneeling before him. She tells Pilaf that there's a place that might hold a Dragon Ball: Ryugadani. Stories say it's a horrible valley from which none have ever returned alive and when night falls, a strange light emanates from it. This gives the the assumption that there is a Dragon Ball there as he orders Mai and Shu to investigate.

Dragon Ball – Scene 18.2: Earth, Southeast Mountain Area

In their capsule house, everyone is at the dinner table about to eat the food Stockings made for them which was more than Goku and Bulma had in the original timeline story but unfortunately there's no meat there, however the food still looked good. Mauka is so famished that she's holding back from gouging down like a savage which she knows Bulma will chastise and make fun of her for it as this will prove to Bulma that Mauka is a musclebound brute of an amazon. Stockings notice this and giggles…

Stockings:

(Smiling)

You don't have to hold back on us, Mauka-Chan. Please. Eat to your heart's content. If you are worried about table manners, Bulma's manners are not as refine as she claim there are.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Ashamed, Annoyed)

MOM!!!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Happy Smile)

Thank you! ITADAKIMASU!

(Starts Eating Like A Saiyan [Stuffing Her Face Nonstop])

(Kid) Goku:

(See Loaf Of Bread)

Is this food?

Stockings:

You never seen a loaf of bread, Goku-Chan? But you did have cake before, but never bread?

(Kid) Goku:

Are they the same?

Stockings:

Close. Cake has a softer texture and sweeter taste. Cake is made using the same method as bread, but with certain differences and ingredients in order to set them apart. Try it.

(Kid) Goku:

(Grabs Bread, Takes A Bite, Sad Expression)

This "bread" stuff is too light and tastes bad. It's nothing like cake and this soup is bitter.

(Teen) Bulma:

That's coffee. The reason you're so short is because you're too picky about food.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Thinking, Annoyed, Still Eating)

Actually it's because Saiyan Children age a lot slower once we reach an age suitable for fighting, and we maintain great strength for a long time. That's why I look slightly younger than you and Goku still looks like a child, Underwear Girl…I wish I could tell her that to her face, but I get the feeling she'll figure out that we are not from this planet and we need her help to bring back Grandpa, so I need to hold back on certain topics or risk exposing ourselves.

Stockings:

(Saddened)

Don't worry, Goku-Chan. I'll make you something else.

(Teen) Bulma:

Don't spoil him, mom!

(Kid) Goku:

(Smiling)

I'll make you some food that tastes better and has more energy than bread or this bitter soup!

(Gets Up From Seat, Wears Shoes)

(Teen) Bulma:

Huh? Are you going somewhere? Remember that creep Wesker is out there.

(Kid) Goku:

(Puts On Power Pole)

I'll be back soon!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Out Loud, Eating, Mouth Full)

Be careful and bring some fruit while you are out there if you can find any.

(Kid) Goku:

(Happy Smile)

'kay, Sis!

(Teen) Bulma:

(Shocked)

AREN'T YOU WORRIED FOR HIS WELL BEING!?!?!?

(Teen) Mauka:

You saw how he handled that monster Wesker sent after us. Wesker's Monsters seems to have dropped down in quality if Goku can take out one that can fly as easily as that.

Voidotte:

Mauka-Sama is right. For the past few years, Wesker's Monsters has gotten weaker and weaker that Mauka-Sama manages to wipe the floor with their faces.

(Teen) Mauka:

Back then it was a nice challenge, but now it's nothing but an annoying bother.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Surprised)

You…enjoyed fighting those things!?

(Teen) Mauka:

At first since it was a good way to get stronger, but now I can take them out with one attack. It's downright boring and worst of all, I need to take at least a 2 hour bath to wash away the bad smell and rotten blood from my hair and body.

Stockings:

(Proud Yet Perverted Smile)

Fascinating, Mauka-Chan!

(Teen) Bulma:

(Disgusted)

2 hours to get that muck out of you!? Eww!

Stockings:

(Excited, Dark Perverted Smile)

Oooh! How I would have loved seeing you like that, Mauka-Chan…Savoring the spoils of battle while being bathe in the blood of your enemies. How I miss that feeling…

(Heinous Yandere Laughter)

(Teen) Bulma:

(Worried)

Mom? Are you alright? You're starting to scare me…

Stockings:

(Shocked, Clears Throat, Regains Stoic Composure)

My apologies, my Sweet Bulma. I don't know what came over me. But…I'm not going to lie…it felt really good behaving like that.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Surprised, Thinking, Heart Skips A Beat)

Oh…My…Kami! The way Stockings behaved just now…she acted like a Battle-Crazed Saiyan! From what Mama Nion told me…Papa fell in love with Mama…my real mom…was because she was like the Saiyan Goddess of War – The Bloodthirsty Gynjer. A Female Saiyan of Lore that always returned from battle bathe in the blood of her enemies with a sadistic yet scary smile in her face and a heinous laughter that turned on every Male Saiyan that laid their eyes on her. Even Female Saiyans that don't swing that way actually fell in love with Gynjer. Even though she was a made-believe fictional character, that story gave birth to the term "Battle-Crazed" among our people. Many say that the power behind the Legendary Super Saiyan is actually a Battle-Craze that goes beyond that of the Gods themselves, making his power practically infinite. But…can Earthlings like Stockings can reach the same level of Battle-Craze as Gynjer? If so…

(Blushing, Nosebleed, Thinking Of Blade)

…can that Baka, Blade look that hot too?

(Teen) Bulma:

Oi? Mauka? Are you alright?

(Teen) Mauka:

(Clears Throat, Out Loud, Cleans Nosebleed w/ Handkerchief)

Whatever do you mean? I am the perfect picture of health!

(Teen) Bulma:

(Annoyed, Doubtful Stare)

Riiight…

Goku heads out to look for food to thank Bulma and Stockings for helping him, Voidotte and his sister, meanwhile Mai and Shu are flying nearby, heading to Ryugadani as commanded by Pilaf which is located near where Goku is walking about as he wandered a little too far since he hasn't found anything other than a centipede. The events from the original Dragon Ball (Anime: Episode 2) Timeline is all the same with Goku confusing Mai & Shu's plane for a large bird, meeting each other for the first time, being attacked by wolves and Goku beating them up with Mai & Shu running away in their plane; Goku notices this as he extends his power pole to reach the plane, kicking it as hard as he could that sends it crashing down into the grown. He then realizes that the bird is not real as he taps it with his power pole which makes him sad that he only has a centipede and a wolf to show his Big Sis, Stockings, Voidotte and Bulma as Mai & Shu are out-cold, stuck in the nearby tree. But the one thing that is different from the original timeline is Hemlock watching from a distance in order to gauge Goku's Current Power, to see if there is a difference with Mauka raising him and he did notice a difference: Goku's Power Level is at 200 which is double the number than in the original timeline in this moment in time, making him more powerful than Master Roshi before and during the 21st Tenka'ichi Budōkai and close to Tien Shinhan's Power when they first met. He wonders that if this will make a very drastic change to the story Ark and Luminescence are trying to tell Zen-Oh and the others. Hemlock is now curious on how things will proceed.

Meanwhile Mauka and Voidotte helps Stockings with cleaning the dishes, Mauka can't help but to feel weird around Stockings as she not only reminds the Saiyan Princess of her "Late" Mother, but in a way Bulma's Battle Maid behaves in almost the same manner, but much more docile and less angry yet she still have some stern demeanor that reminds Mauka of her mother. Mauka sneaks peeks at Stockings that she is amazed on how much alike she looks like her mother. As soon as Stocking notices, Mauka bashfully and nervously looks away Tsundere-Style which brings a smile to the Battle Maid's face as for some reason this feels nostalgic to her. Goku returns to the capsule house with the one centipede and dead wolf on his back; since Bulma is in the living room with Mauka, Stockings and Voidotte are in the kitchen, Bulma is the one to welcome Goku…

Outside ([Kid] Goku):

I'm back!

(Teen) Bulma:

You're late…

(Opens Door)

(Kid) Goku:

(Smiling, Shows Centipede)

I caught one centipede and one wolf! Time to roast them up!

(Teen) Bulma:

(Scream In Shock, Slams Door Shut, Notices Mauka & Stockings)

(Teen) Mauka:

(Sneer)

You don't like Centipede and Wolf Meat?

(Teen) Bulma:

(Furious)

That is disgusting!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Sighs)

Yeah, centipede is disgusting to eat. I always throw away it since I was taught that eating insects is not safe as they posses a toxin that can destroy your nervous system in the long run. This toxin cannot be remove since it's part of every inch of the insects, not even by heating it. Actually heating it makes it even worse as the toxin acts like seasoning and amplifying it.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Surprised)

Even though you're an Amazon raised in the hills, I'm surprised you really know that fact.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Furious)

I really don't appreciate that backhanded compliment, Underwear Girl.

Stockings:

(Stern Demeanor)

If you know eating insects is that harmful, you should have taught Goku-Chan to stop it already. Even though he's a teenager, mentally and physically he's still a child! And you call yourself her sister!? You should be ashamed of yourself! What if Goku-Chan dies because of that toxin!? His death would be your fault! What would his birth mother and his siblings feel to learn that fact!?

(Teen) Mauka:

(Shocked, Ashamed, Traumatized)

Y-You…you're right…I…I…I'll…tell him…

Stockings:

(Thinking, Saddened)

Looks like I hit a nerve. Do you feel guilty of letting someone die before, Mauka-Chan?

Almost an hour later, Goku finally roasted the wolf and centipede with a proud smile in his face as he is ready to give the girls the food he made for them.

(Kid) Goku:

Hey! Are you sure you don't want any!? They're almost done!

(Teen) Bulma:

(Yelling From Inside The Capsule House, Furious)

Heck, no! There's no way I would ever eat that stuff!

Stockings:

(Yelling From Inside The Capsule House, Excited Voice)

I'll have some, Goku-Chan!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Yelling From Inside The Capsule House, Excited Yet Stoic Voice)

I haven't had wolf in a while! I'll join you!

Mauka and Stockings joins Goku in eating the wolf meat while Bulma and Voidotte wait inside. While they eat, Mauka and Stockings forbids Goku to eat insects from now on as they tell him how bad it is for him, but do so in a way that he permanently kick the habit: "If You Eat Bugs, You'll Get So Sick You'll Never Be Able To Fight Ever Again!"; they also told him this in their scary mode which seals deal for this completely. The three of them return inside pleased that wolf dinner they had and tossed away the centipede as they sigh in pleasure when they say at the same time: "I'm stuffed! Now to get some sleep!" which annoys Bulma seeing both Mauka and Goku act so casually, even more so seeing Stockings behaving like them so easily, almost like this is her true self; especially she raised Bulma as a daughter. Bulma acting like the adult demands that the 3 of them they better brush their teeth. Stockings takes Goku to his room and he's jumping happily in his bed as he never slept in one, same goes for Mauka since she started living on Earth.

(Kid) Goku:

(Laughing)

This futon is so nice and fluffy! And it's been so long since I've slept with others besides Sis!

(Teen) Bulma:

With others? Get real!

Stockings:

She's right, Goku-Chan. This will be your room and bed. Bulma-Chan, Void-Chan, Mauka-Chan and myself will be sleeping in the next room besides yours.

(Kid) Goku:

But Sis and me sleep together all the time.

(Teen) Mauka:

Just like I told you before back when you needed to learn to bathe alone, now it's the time for you to learn to sleep alone.

(Kid) Goku:

But I liked sleeping in your and Grandpa's lap since it was nice and soft…

Stockings, (Teen) Bulma:

(Judging Stares At Mauka)

...…

(Teen) Mauka:

(Blushing, Annoyed, Furious, Smacks Goku Over The Head)

Kaaa~Kaaa~Rottt~Tooo!!!

(Kid) Goku:

(Holding Head, Crying)

What did I say?

(Teen) Mauka:

(Annoyed, Scoff)

Sometimes you can be such a clown!

Voidotte:

(Sighs)

...…

While Goku sleeps in his given room, Mauka, Voidotte, Bulma and Stockings sleep in theirs. Voidotte is fast asleep just as Goku, but Mauka can't seem to fall asleep because she's somehow happy that she is actually having fun traveling with Bulma & Stockings, and she notices that Goku is happier than he has ever been. She also believes that she might fulfill her mission in finally locating Gine & Hanasia during this journey while gathering the Dragon Balls and bringing Grandpa Gohan back to life. With that being the source of her happiness, Mauka starts to giggle and tries to do so quietly since Bulma & Stockings are sharing their room with her and don't want to disturb their slepp, but…

(Teen) Bulma:

(Annoyed)

Keep it down! I'm trying to sleep here!

Stockings:

(Pleased Smile)

Would you mind telling us why are you happy, Mauka-Chan?

(Teen) Mauka:

I'm just…I'm glad you came into our lives. I always wanted to leave my mountain home, look for Goku's Mother & Sister and teach him about the outside world…but with Wesker around…I didn't want to endanger anyone around us since he's the type that doesn't care for collateral damages so long as he gets what he wants.

(Teen) Bulma:

You both lived together with your grandpa, right? Are your parents dead?

(Teen) Mauka:

(Saddened)

Mine are, but as for Goku…it is only his father. While our people were being wiped out, his father sent him and his twin sister away along with their mother, finding his way to the mountain. But then grandpa found him and took Baby Goku in. I found them days later.

(Teen) Bulma:

You act pretty normal considering your situation, but Son-Kun sure is cheerful despite having such depressing past!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Saddened)

I don't know how he does it. I really try as hard as I can to not worry Goku, but there were times I just couldn't keep up appearances.

Stockings:

Can you tell us about your parents as well as Goku-Chan's?

(Teen) Bulma:

Mom, we shouldn't impose.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Smiling)

I don't mind. Goku's Father was the Greatest Warrior That Ever Lived. You could say that he was a One-Man-Army, able to take down legions of enemies own his own. He…

(Saddened)

…he passed away when our people were wiped out.

Stockings:

(Saddened)

I'm sorry to hear that.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Sad Smile)

Thank you. But Goku's Mother, Brother and Sister are still alive, but they got separated during the skirmish. His Older Brother was away during the attack along with my Twin Brother and his retainer.

(Teen) Bulma:

Are they Good Looking?

(Teen) Mauka:

(Annoyed Yet Tired Expression)

Why am I not surprised you went and asked me that, Underwear Girl?

(Teen) Bulma:

(Furious)

Why you—

Stockings:

(Annoyed Stare)

Bulma.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Saddened)

But she started it…

Stockings:

No, you did by asking that question. If Mauka is protective of Goku-Chan, I would not be surprise if she is just as protective to the others, especially that they are the last of her tribe.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Pouting, Looks Away, Thinking)

Is the reason you are taking her side over me is that you two might be related?

Stocking:

Tell us about Goku-Chan's Brother, Mauka.

(Teen) Mauka:

He's not that strong, he's actually weaker than his mother. Even though he's not a One-Man-Army like his father, he makes up for it with his resourcefulness. While I was raising Goku, I noticed that he is just as resourceful as Raditz.

(Proud Smile)

He's going to be a genius like his father one day. I wonder if Hanasia is doing well. Since she's like me and Goku, a child of warriors, I hope she's happy and getting strong like Goku have been.

Stockings:

(Proud Smile)

I believe she is. If she is anything like Goku-Chan, I know she's doing fine.

(Teen) Mauka:

Thank you.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Thinking, Annoyed)

Hopefully she's a normal girl and not a Brutish Amazon like you or a hick like Son-Kun, but if you are saying that everyone in your tribe is like you, I'm not holding my breath in being friends with her either.

Stockings:

Tell me about their mother.

(Teen) Mauka:

Gine-San is the perfect mother – Kind, Nurturing, Loving, Patient, Strong, Affirmative, Caring…she gives out a welcoming warmth that can melt the coldest of hearts.

Stockings:

(Slightly Annoyed, Hiding Annoyance Behind Casual Smile, Thinking)

Why am I getting so angry upon hearing Mauka-Chan speaks so highly of this Gine?

(Out Loud)

What about your own family…🎶Mau~Ka~Chan?🎶

(Teen) Mauka:

(Worried Smile, Thinking)

Why do I feel like I'm going to die for speaking highly of Gine-San? And why is she that angry at me? We only met TODAY!!!

(Out Loud)

My father was the leader of our tribe. His ruthlessness knew no bounds and ruled the kingdom with an iron fist. Even though he was an ass…he really cared for me, my brothers and my mother. I…never got to meet my younger brother since he was sent away. My Twin Brother is just like our father, but unlike our father, he's a genius and has a more kinder side. He's able to learn, adapt, assimilate, adjust and improve on what he learns. He can even learn techniques upon seeing it, but if the technique is too advance, he will work hard to replicate it if it peaks his interest. He also doesn't like copying a technique that is not useful or not a common one among our people. Take for example if we could teleport from one location to another, but only…let's say Goku could do it and no one else, my twin brother won't use it even if he managed to learn it because only one of our people uses it. Even worse if it's someone he doesn't like. And my mother…

Stockings:

...…

(Teen) Mauka:

(Saddened)

…my mom was everything Gine-San is, but much, much more…

(Teen) Bulma:

(Notices Mauka Say "Was")

...…

Stockings

(Saddened)

Was?

(Teen) Mauka:

She…she was murdered in front of my eyes by a narcissistic creep. If I see him again…I…will kill him.

Stockings:

I'm sorry for your loss, but if this creep is stronger than you, you shouldn't follow your mother to the grave. I am still an amnesiac, but I feel like I have children of my own and as a mother, the last thing I would want is my children to die before their time, for I want them to thrive. Just like every parent want for their children.

(Teen) Mauka:

Just give me a few years. I will be strong enough to get him for what he did.

Stockings:

Please, sleep on it. If not for me who even though we met today, then…do it for Goku-Chan. If you were to die, he would hurt just as much as you.

(Teen) Mauka:

I'll…I'll sleep on it, but only because you have a point. Good night and…thank you…for listening to me.

Stockings:

(Warm Smile)

No, thank you for sharing your story to us, sapphire princess…

Mauka is surprised in hearing Stockings calling her that, but decides to ignore it and goes to sleep as the only one who ever called her that was her birth mother, the Saiyan Queen and no one else knows that nickname for her, not even Nion who is her foster mother since living in Planet Brench. As she falls asleep, Mauka dreams of Goku's Family and hers living in Grandpa Gohan's lands, having a picnic with everyone laughing, eating and sparring with one another: a fusion of both Saiyan and Earth Cultures, but in the real world, Mauka is crying in her sleep. Stockings notices this and feels sad seeing Mauka dreaming something that will never happen. The next morning, Goku wakes up due to both the sunlight and the birds chirping outside. Feeling lonely since this is the first time he sleeps on his own by his sister's request, he heads to the girl's room and notices that Mauka was crying in her sleep again. Feeling sorry for his Big Sis, Goku quietly lays on her lap and instantly falls asleep yet again as he always felt at peace sleeping with her. When Stockings, Voidotte and Mauka wake up, they see Goku happily sleeping on Mauka's lap. Mauka smiles and signals a shush sign to the girls in order to let Goku sleep a little longer. Some time later, Stockings made breakfast for everyone, while Goku and Mauka are enjoying the food, Bulma is taking her time applying her beauty products to herself which Goku finds curious while Mauka finds it infuriating as it reminds her of Zarbon in a way as she sees this as narcissism of the worst caliber; however outside the capsule house, a strange round-like creature approaches the place…

(Kid) Goku:

You're still not ready? You sure are slow…You're gonna turn into a turtle!

(Teen) Bulma:

(Annoyed)

Be quiet! Who're you calling a turtle!?

(Teen) Mauka:

(Sneering)

You, Underwear Girl since you were hugging your pillow a little too tightly before you woke up. The rest of us were already up and about a couple of hours before you.

(Teen) Bulma:

You just get up too early! And could you stop referring to me as "Omae"? I am two years older than your brother and you are 2 years older than me, so I'd appreciate it if Son-Kun called me Bulma-San and you called me Bulma-Chan.

(Kid) Goku:

No. It's hard to say.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Talking With Mouth Full)

If you were any decent of a girl, I'd be more inclined to do so.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Annoyed At Goku)

How is it hard to say!?

(Furious At Mauka)

AND SAYS THE AMAZON STUFFING HER FACE LIKE THE SAVAGE SHE IS!!!

Stockings:

(Pours Coffee For Bulma, Smiling)

Would you like some coffee too, Goku-Chan? Mauka-Chan?

(Kid) Goku:

(Disgusted Expression)

I hate that soup, it's bitter.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Sneers At Bulma)

I don't need it. Unlike Underwear Girl here, I have the Burning Power of Youth on my side.

(Teen) Bulma:

HOW DARE YOU!!!

(Kid) Goku:

I guess I'll go do some exercises.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Cleans Her Face)

I'll join you. I need to burn all of these calories off.

(Teen) Bulma:

That's dangerous! At least digest it first!

(Teen) Mauka:

Don't need to.

(Teen) Bulma:

Don't come crying to me if you faint for pushing yourself too hard! Or worst – End Up Dying!

Goku and Mauka head outside to do some training as the sun shine above them that motivates them both enough to pump their muscles for the training ahead. Mauka decides to do some Shadow Boxing while Goku grabs boulders twice his size and crushing them in his arms. As he grabs another one, it was anything but a boulder as it is a sea turtle which surprises both Goku and the large reptile as they both scream in shock.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Worried, Hugs Goku)

GOKU!? Are you alright!?

??? (Sea Turtle):

You scared me!

(Kid) Goku:

(Shocked)

S-She really did turn into a turtle! It's because you take so long to do everything!

??? (Sea Turtle):

Huh?

(Teen) Bulma:

(Inside The House)

What? Were you talking to me?

(Kid) Goku:

Aré!?

(Teen) Mauka:

(Snickering, Trying To Hold Back Laughter)

...…

(Teen) Bulma:

Huh? What's this? A turtle?

(Kid) Goku:

(Surprised)

This isn't you!?

(Teen) Bulma:

(Annoyed)

Idiot!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Desperately Holding Back Laughter)

...…

(Teen) Bulma:

But isn't this a sea turtle? What's it doing all the way out here?

??? (Sea Turtle):

Sorry to impose, but could I possibly have some saltwater? With some seaweed, too, if possible…

Stockings:

Allow me. Please wait here.

(Teen) Bulma:

For a turtle, you sure ask a lot.

After Stockings gets a bucket of saltwater and seaweed as the Sea Turtle requested, he gobbles it down desperately.

Kame (Sea Turtle):

(Burps)

Thank you very much! I feel alive again!

(Saddened)

The truth is…I'm Kame [Turtle]!

(Teen) Bulma:

(Annoyed)

That's pretty obvious, you know!

Stockings:

(Nods)

Agreed.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Arms Crossed, Nodding)

Hmm Hmm.

Voidotte:

Yep-Yep.

Kame:

Despite being a sea turtle, I came to pick up mushrooms and in doing so I inadvertently strayed from the others and lost my way! I have been wandering for the past year in search of the ocean.

(Teen) Bulma:

The ocean, you say? You've been going in the exact opposite direction! And you've come really far for a turtle!

Stockings:

Indeed. What is worse is that it would take you another year if we point you in the right direction from here and since you are a turtle, it might take you 3 times longer to reach the ocean.

(Kid) Goku:

What's an ocean?

(Teen) Bulma:

It's basically a gigantic puddle of water.

(Teen) Mauka:

(Annoyed)

That's a very lazy way to describe it! Don't listen to her, Goku.

(Smiling)

The ocean is one of the greatest sights to behold in the world. The ocean is a large and extensive body of water as far as the eye can see. But don't ever drink it! Just because it's water, that doesn't mean it was meant to be drank. You'll get very sick if you do.

(Kid) Goku:

Okay!

Stockings:

(Proud Smile, Thinking)

Now that's how you should act around him as his Big Sister, Mauka-Chan.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Opens Map Book)

Here! It's about 120 kilometers south of here!

Voidotte:

(Surprised)

Kame-San has been moving north for a whole year!?

(Teen) Mauka:

(Raises Eyebrow In Pity)

You really have a bad sense of direction for you to crawl that far for so long, don't you?

Kame:

(Surprised)

120 kilometers!?

(Kid) Goku:

(Smiling)

We'll take you to the ocean place!

Kame:

(Happy Laughter)

Really!?

(Teen) Bulma:

(Furious)

What are you saying!?

(Kid) Goku:

Didn't you tell us we could see the ocean if we came with you?

(Teen) Bulma:

Yeah, eventually! Right now, we have to find the Dragon Balls! There's no time for that!

(Kid) Goku:

(Serious Expression)

But you were the one taking a long time just now…

(Teen) Bulma:

It's a waste of time! Forget about it! It has nothing to do with us!

(Kid) Goku:

Me and Sis will drop him off by ourselves, then!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Serious Expression)

You got that right, Goku!

(Teen) Bulma:

Do whatever you want! But if you both go, I never want to see you again!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Furious)

Good! I never liked you anyways, you stuck-up hussy!

(Teen) Bulma:

Then Get The Hell Out And Don't You Ever Come Back, You Amazon!!!

(Kid) Goku:

(Picks Up Kame On His Back)

Hold on tight!

Kame:

Thank you so much!

(Kid) Goku, (Teen) Mauka, Voidotte:

(Runs South)

...…

(Teen) Bulma:

(Makes Face, Furious, Yelling)

Idiots! Hicks! Amazon! Don't come back! Hmph! Who do they think they are!? Come to think of it, they have one of the Dragon Balls!

Stockings:

(Evil Smile & Low Chuckle)

Indeed they do. Also…Wesker did say he'll use the Dragon Balls to lure Mauka-Chan to his evil game and we have 2 Dragon Balls, so he might come after us too. And worse…

(Teen) Bulma:

What could be worse, Mom?

Stockings points at the landscape nonchalantly as Bulma sees a large T-Rex looking dinosaur trampling nearby with pterodactyls flying all around the area as Stockings smiles without a care in the world. Bulma tries to act cool without a care in the world, but moments later Stockings drives her car with Bulma annoyed that the woman who raised her, knows her more than anyone in the world as Stockings smiles proudly that Bulma is so easy to read and that their journey with Goku, Voidotte and Mauka will continue.

(Teen) Bulma:

(Furious)

Hey, wait! You're going to need my help, so I'll come with you!

(Kid) Goku:

Huh? I thought we were never seeing each other again…

(Teen) Bulma:

(Furious, Frustrated)

You're not so cute!

(Teen) Mauka:

(Proudly Laughs Out Loud)

(Teen) Bulma:

AND YOU ARE A GORILLA!!!

(Kid) Goku:

You were scared all by yourself, huh?

(Teen) Mauka:

Obviously!

(Teen) Bulma:

Don't be stupid! All I really want is your Dragon Ball!

Stockings:

(Thinking)

This will be one interesting journey to remember.

"Having rescued a lost sea turtle, Goku, Bulma, Mauka, Stockings and Voidotte now put their search for the Dragon Balls on hold while they show the turtle the way to the ocean. What will await them next?"
