Back at the Lookout-
.
After making it back, Kakarot was hoping this would go quickly. But no dice.
"For all that is right in the world, just do it already!" Veins on his head bulging at the deterring old fool taking his time. Yes, he looked youthful, but he moved like an old timer mentally still! "You are fixing a mistake that was caused by yourself! Next time don't cheat your problem away!"
"It's not that simple." Kami retorted. "I caused so many problems by doing this so many centuries ago, and with great sacrifice, King Piccolo was stopped. If I do this, I.."
"You will live a long time and be whole again!" Kakarot lifts the old man up by his clothes. "Which will allow you to train more warriors to defend Earth! Help fix problems that arrived here from off-planet! Find a blasted nonsuicidal successor! Are you that selfish to obey the customs of idiots who came before you that gave up?!"
He did have plans for those former Guardians. They were going to be taken care of and he would know that Kakarot took care of them.
"Kakarot.." Roshi placed his hand on his friend. Trying to pull him back before things got out of hand. ".. the battle still weighs on you, we should take a step back and think things over. The effects of draining Piccolo can not be good for you."
"He is right." Mai added in. "If the so called Guardian does not want to do it, then we cannot force him." Sporting a Sayain tail and wilder hair, Launch, and Hasky gave the woman a double-take. "Will you two stop staring at me! I will get a haircut later!"
She still kept her personality, it seemed. But the information shared via Telepathy could wait for later.
"No, you are right." Kami could understand that Kakarot was doing everything he could to fix the problems that occurred recently. He may have his own reasons that are personal as well, but the job also required this. "If you are willing to repent the same as I, we must become one again."
King Piccolo bawled his fist up but gave a firm nod. Without being willing to do so, the assimilation wouldn't take place correctly. After having the large majority of the negative energy taken from him, the only regret left was losing who he was as an individual.
Kakarot could have him do it by applying the Timebreaker Mark if push came to shove.
*Woom!* The blinding light carried a powerful magic that caused the Lookout to shake once more. The magic jump was so substantial that if Kakarot didn't shield a few, the force would have pushed the few structures off.
"Kool!" Ruby, Lapis, Lazuli, Topaz, and Paopao exclaimed happily. Feeling the power coming off of the new Guardian, they were excitied as children were.
"Well, impressive... I guess." Bulma checked the scouter, then pushed the deep energy penetration function. A targeting sign allowed to pull up the suppressed readings. "Now, that is more like the power the Guardian of Earth should have."

"It is still rising, but it will cap off soon." Bulma gave a fine assessment looking at the climbing power. Turning to the egg of Piccolo Jr that Popo now carried, she understood enough about the Namekians and what happened to know the power would always carry somewhat inside that child. "Will he absorb the child to?"
"No," Popo said simply. "after removing the Lifelink, Piccolo Jr. will live the same as other Namkeian children would. As well as not having a link to his parent's death in the possible future."
"I feel much better now," The Guardian said simply. "but I have some matters to attend to. We will talk later, Kakarot."
"Later." Watching him depart, he was about to check on the kids before going to work. But someone else had a different plan. "Huh!"
*Bam!* Kakarot blocked a punch from Mai and Bulma. Taking a step back he was intrigued on why they did it but held back for now. A red hue of energy built up around Bulma as she sprouted a tail and wilder hair.
"You have more than that.. right?" Mai gave a feral grin. Something he was not use to seeing on her at all. "Raaah!" She used Bulk Up as her power skyrocketed on the spot. Bulma copying doing the same but with a more magic increased instead of Bulk Up.
*Beep Beep!* His scouter went off picking up the drastic change in numbers. Only one thing came to mind on how it happened, they used the water or the next genetic booster.
"The results of Ultra Divine Water is not bad, tasted awful though." Bulma had a matching smirk as her eyes flared dangerously. "You might want to merge back before its to late. Don't want to get beated up to bad in front the kids."
"Hmm." Kakarot gave a smile of his own as he flew up a little. "Haha!" He used the Dark King Aura instead. The outburst of his might pushed his divided power of both of theres a good margin. "I need the excersie, so come at me with the intent to kill."
*Schup!* He teleported behind the two and delivered a roudhouse kick, knocking them further into the sky. Chasing after, in a burst of ki.
"Tch!" Mai recovered first as she met him a clash of fists. Dodging another punch, she punched his extended arm at the elbow. It swung across his chest but a slight turn of his torso allowed Kakrot to deliver a knee to the face. "Ptuh! Nice!"
Spitting the blood out, Mai became more agressive in her fighting, abadoning all defnese to deliver damage. Enough damage that she caused Kakarot to parry more than punch in the next exchange.
'This is preferable but, will she cause her self to die fighting like this?' Recieving a punch to the gut, Kakarot buckled in the air for a moment. Hi sensed someone coming behind him. "Oh!?"
Bulma delivered a knee to the center of his back then kicked him in the ass to get away from a counterattack as he whipped around. Slowed from the shock of the damage, Mai was able to deliver a solid strike to his now exposed backside.
*Bam! Bam! Bam!* A four hit power combo was stopped as Kakarot's tail wrapped her arms up. He brought her around delvering her into a Piledriver. The target was not the Lookout but Bulma.
"What the hell is he thinking?" The young genius scrunched her face as she was able to see the direct course of where they were headed. Leving her arm just right, she fired. 'Quick Beam Cannon!'
*Pew!* The gold energy hit Kakarot directly in the shoulder going right through. His grip on Mai lessen just enough for her to get free at first. However, she was grabbed by the tail and became completely powerless.
"Waah.." Mai eyes rolled over as her cheeks flushed. She looked almost drunk. "..no fair.." It woas not how he wanted it to end it but the Dark king Aura ran out. "..big.. meanie.."
"Not fair Kakarot!" Bulma hair stood on end as she gave into her anger. "Going for a cheap end!" The red hue of her magic deepend as she rushed out ecklessy. The Namekian fighting style on full display with flexible quick strikes.
For every four strikes she gave Kakarot, he returned a single solid hit. Stunning her temporarily as he wanted to see how much care to her life she would give.
It took over 7 clashed before Bulma was worn out and fainted in the air. it was the biggest workout he may have given her by herself. He could only imagine how dangerous she would be if she fused with Violet right now.
"Well, that was defintely worth it." Making a ball fo magic he ate it then recalled a few of his Multiforms to speed up his healing for now. "Defintely put some pressure on me and some serious hits."
"I will take them to get healed." Towa grabbed both women and Teleported out. Coming and going just as fast as she came.
With the bout over Kakarot made finally arrangements for the rest of the day.
.
Brief Argument-
.
The next day as soon as she was healed and ready to move about, Bulma jumped out her Healing pod. Searching the lab for anyone, she only spotted Pilaf working away on some medical work with Lunch.
"Good to see your up, where is everyone?" her ail moved about freely, something she would have to get use to. Grabbing it, she felt a bout of dizzyness but that didn't bother her. It was not as soft as Kakarot's is what bothered her. "Is that my medical file?
"Working on their stuff with the boss before he leaves the Dimension by himself. Yes it is your medical file. Kakarot move this to the priority list. Your condition, Mai's and myself are tip priority. He is even going to go to Otherworld to try and gain some more of the Snake fruit to help stabize us quickly. Well more than what we are now. Just to be on the safe side."
Bulma looked everything over and rembered how the fruit was something he defintely needed for his contious training for Spirit stability. Frustrated, the young genius left quickly. Shooting out of the lab like a blur.
"I won't let him have his way!" Bulma moved fiercely towards the outside area. Dodging pass anyone in the halls. 'He should be focus on getting stronger before any of us!"
Outside, Kakarot was talking with Mai in regards to her changes. The Namekian meditation technique competely took care of her esaily. She just enjoyed the rush of being aggressive in combat. Outside of it she was normal shy Mai.
Well almost, she stood a little closer to Kakarot when talking.
"What is it?" Kakarot looked at Bulma the moment she arrived next to him.
"Why are you not taking anyone with you when you leave?"
"Because it will be dangerous and tough to survive enough as is." Kakarot said evenly. "There is so much to do here still. Lots of people that can still be helped by everyone to prepare. I may be able to manevour a few for coming with but anymore and I will not be satisfied with the safety here."
"You said it yourself that it is foolish to go by yourself when doing dangerous operations; this is foolish! Not even going full power!" Bulma didn't like it especially after the spar though brief let her know that the window ceiling of power was much higher than she thought. "You don't even know where you are going!"
"Bulma.." Kakarot placed his hands on her shoulder to provide a little comfort. ".. it is part of my "job" to do this. Think of how many people will die if I don't go do this? 2x, 7x, the various Subsidiary Dimensions alone are cracking apart in the region "we" live in. I need the edge that will let me keep up with any crazy situations."
Knowing the value of power of htose who comes only the real threat were the ones who shouldn't arrive. As long as Cell didn't pop out of the blue, he would be fine.
"It is not like part of him won't remain here. 6 Multiforms that share his memory and that will be able to communicate with him via Telepathy from the Lookout." Towa tried to console the genius but knew it wouldn't be enough. "If Prime dies.. no.. he won't die. He will come back. We just need to push forward while we have time."
"You can't promise that! You can only teach and not interfere!" Launch turned on the magic teacher, not holding anything back. "All the different monsters out there and he is going solo basically, what kind of Operation works that way?!"
Clandestine Operations of course.
"That is another reason that this is happening. I need to build numbers. Not everyone happens to be killers, or cold blooded ones anyway." Kakarot looked out among them and stopped on the various youngsters. "Not to mention some are still learning who they are and what they want for life. Infrastructure needs to be big and safe to move forward in war. I do not want to resort to blitz warfare in this life. It is not fun when everything is over and done with."
Ruby was a whole thing in and of herself to deal with slowly.
Lapis was just a rowdy kid so not much to worry about there.
Lauzli needed to be stimulated to keep from being a diva.
Topaz... well he just need to get out of his shell.
Paopao just needed a family to be safe and grow.
As for the babies, not much to do about them, they are freaking babies.
"Train, learn, getting stronger and enjoy life. Nothing wrong with that." Kakarot talked a little more before leaving. "I will be back later then I will go for.. I don't know how long. Ask Towa."
Bongo, Hasky, Roshi, Tien, Chiatzou, and the strongest demons he could spare left with Kakarot via Wormhole to the Otherworld. Directly to King Yemma's office.
"Well.." Bulma looked to the various others to ask them wha tthey thought on the matter. "..yay or nay on letting him go by himself?"
Towa kept her face neutral but she smiled as this worked for the best to get them exposure to more. As those Linked to the Champion, leaving their own Diemnsion even one that is sort of connected to their own, the increase to their Spirits would skyrocket to higher levels.
"As the science involves to make you all better and unlock power, I suggest you all pick a fusion partnere to help you devlop further. This way you don't burn out and forget to live your lives." Towa knew that only die hard fighters would want to keep training and get stronger. They need constant simuli the same as children to keep them intrested in certain work. "The bio boosters past the first and the Sacred Water will only ever be used for those who train. No slouches to gain power ups."
Quiet, they all looked down contemplating this type of life. The future alone was something always changing and training all the time was no guarntee that they would suceed. Kakarot had gone to extreme lengths to get to where he was at so far, but this was all training for a higher stage.
Did they have what it takes to train to the point they would kill false gods?
