Man when time lines change... They change hard!
We had just finished our first year of training for Gero and his forces when something came up we had forgotten about.
What do we do with the rest of Friezas army? Wish them away? Leave them be? Let them collapse without a real leader?
I figured I should do something but I was worried about Broly and his friends/lover for the future. I would probably leave them be for now. Unless they tried to make a mess.
Which they did! They actually came to earth and issued and ultimatum. They would use all their remaining elites to attack us unless we surrendered the dragon balls to us.
We all deadpan and charged up our Kamehameha attacks.
The soldiers saw their scouters and reading explode back to back and decided to leave us with a warning that they would be back for them in 5 years time.
Welp... Next threat achieved. But hey we will be ready.
In the mean time we all made a wish that had been a long time coming since we were reminded of our years flying by.
The dragon asked, "ALRIGHT WHO THE HELL DIED THIS TIME?"
I laugh and go, "No one Shenron we were wondering how many people you can make eternally youthful at a time?"
He quirks and eyebrow and goes, "I CAN TURN ONE PERSON AT A TIME INTO AN ETERNAL YOUTH. WHO WOULD YOU WISH FOR FIRST?"
We all turn to Vegeta expecting him to make a big fuss before he looks at us all and goes, "Hey!! I'm not going to be a dick about it! Besides Bulma would kill me if I went before her!"
Bulma proudly puffs her chest out proudly at having he husband under her thumb. We all discuss it a bit and I'm busy thinking it over on who would deserve it more.
Then suddenly I hear my friends all say, "This one right here!"
I turn to look and find them all pointing at me. I then go slack jawed and ask, "Wait! Why not Goku?! Or Piccolo?! Or anyone of the other main fighters we have?!"
They all smile and explain how they wouldn't have their current lives if it wasn't for me and how they owe me so much.
So they said for me to use the wish first would be an honor.
I cry a bit before turning to Shenron and asking, "Can you make me eternally my peak physical age for eternal youth?"
Shenron nods and scans me to find my peak age. When his eyes flash red and I feel my body becomes only slightly younger as I settle my body between the 27-30 age range physically. I smirk as I flex and feel all my power within and we all hear Shenrons goodbye as he goes to sleep for another year.
We all party at this successful wish and begin to make plans for what we can do for powering me up so we can have a literal undying powerhouse.
I was excited but knew I could still die if I got killed by a strong foe or got sick.
Then as I thought that I spit out the drink I was using and yell out, "We forgot about the viral heart disease!"
Everyone stops enjoying the catering as they stop and stare at me in confusion.
I yell out while panicking, "Think about it! It affected only Goku a full blooded Saiyan!! And how many adult and child Saiyan's do we have now?! If it starts in him and is viral then we won't be able to treat it if it gets to all of you!"
Bulma looks completely calm while everyone else is also worried. Vegeta noticed as she is smuggly smiling at him as he asks, "Why are you...?"
She holds up a vial with a medicine liquid inside. She giggles and says, "While you were all training I dissected the medicine Trunks gave us for Goku. I reverse engineered it and can make more this upcoming year! We will be able to treat everyone no problem!"
I sigh and fall back in my chair as everyone else breathes a calming sigh of relief. We all go back to celebrating the wish and are discussing who should go next for it. After all eventually she will begin to show on all of us. So best we make a solid plan.
First is for Piccolo to go next as he is connected to Kami. If he ages too fast by repeating usage of the time chamber then we would be screwed without a replacement Namekian to be connected to the dragon balls.
We all agree that is a good start but we are stuck on who should be after Piccolo.
Welp we will figure it out afterwards.
For now we have teasing of Vegeta and Piccolo to do.
We all laugh as we hand Piccolo a plaque that says literally, "Mister Piccolo: Sensei of the junior Z warriors."
He blushes purple but accepts it with grumbling as Gine and Gohan are both in awe of him getting the plaque.
Vegeta is being subjected to constant teasing of growing soft and getting too many friends from being selfless with the wish today and how he was making sure future Trunks was trained well. While also telling him stories of the Saiyan empire in its prime.
He was blushing hard a that and was making excuses about how his son, "Shouldn't be ignorant of his proud heritage!"
But he couldn't hide the small smiles he would get from remembering such nice bonding moments between his own son and himself.
We enjoyed the rest of the day before we went back to training. It was going to be a busy next two years.
