A little time later you arrive back on Champas world and just as you land the healing machine let out a satisfying little "ding" like a microwave, signaling that you're done. Leaving both the pod and the ship you gave your body a good little stretch after your satisfying little bath and concluded that you NEVER felt better.
"I'm glad to see your injuries fully healed.
It's just a shame you aren't a Saiyan... Wait! You don't get a powerboost from being fatally wounded, right?"
"You do?" You blink.
"Yes."
"Hacks! I call hacks!"
"Anyway... I guess I'll go and "say hi" to the girls. Wanna come with?"
"Sure. Just... go ahead. Gotta pretend I got a limp or Vados will get mad at me."
"Got it."
Cabba took the lead and went to the girls who seemingly were sparring in order to reawaken their lost strength. Their exchange was quite heated until the boy called them out.
"Heeeey! I'm baaaack!"
"Oh? Cabba? Are you done already?"
"Yes. And you wouldn't believe what we found!
Turns out the planet-"
"Boooring. Seriously, it doesn't interest me what you found down there. Remember that I'm a renegade? An outlaw? Don't come bragging to me about your little Defense Force."
"Really? That's a shame. We really worked well together."
"Huh?"
"Eric came with me. We solved a case together. In fact it might be the biggest catch of the century."
"And that twerp helped you?"
"I can hear you, ya know. And I didn't do much. Just snuck around while Cabba distracted the enemy."
"That's not true! You handled ten men inside even though you got shot! Please don't sell yourself short!"
This got Cauliflas attention. "Really?"
"Yes. Really. Why?"
"That's pretty dumb of you."
"Excuse you?"
"Because you're not strong. If you were strong and went in there, handled a bunch of men after being injured I'd call you brave. But you're not. You're weak and therefore dumb."
You scratch the back of your neck awkwardly.
"Well I'm not gonna say that's not true buuut...
We have very different ideas about courage."
"Huh?"
"What's more impressive? The strong person doing something heroic, knowing he'll probably win? Or the little man who knows he has no place being there but he still fights for something he believes in? Back on Earth there is nothing more courageous than sacrifice."
"But that's dumb... You're speaking about death like it's noble or something. A weak man throwing his life away is not brave. It's pointless and dumb."
"I see you don't get it."
"No... I don't."
"Then how about I show you?"
"Hooooo? Is that a challenge?"
"You could say that..."
"You really are a fool." Caulifla grins. "You're on!"
The girl begins cracking her knuckles as she takes a few steps away from you. It's painfully obvious for all parties involved that even though she's tired from sparring with Kale she's still in an entirely different universe from you and as she lets out even a portion of her power you're practically quaking in your boots. But you can't exactly back out now.
"Alright! Here I come!" She says as she charges you.
Her movements are so quick you barely manage to raise your guard and your barrier before those sledgehammer like fists strike you. Almost immediately upon impact you're thrown backwards like a ragdoll and get to helplessly watch as Caulifla dashes around you until she's behind you, ready for the second strike. With a quick kick she sends you into the air and you feel like your spine is about to snap in half.
Gasping in pain you endure as Cauliflas punches rain down on you like machinegun fire before with a slam dunk she smashes you into the ground. You barely manage to stand up from your little crater when Caulifla gloats over you. "Don't tell me you're actually enjoying this."
"Okay... for the record... there is a part of me that's yes!"
"Heh... you're a nutty one aren'tcha?"
Standing up with shaking legs you dust yourself off and assume your stance once more. "I guess I am."
"Hehe! Every time you get up I'll just beat you back down! You know that!"
"Yeah. But it's not about how hard you hit!
It's about how hard you can get hit and still stand up!"
This time you charge her with unprecedented focus. Your blows are quicker, sharper than ever before and you see more and more of Cauliflas movements as you push your psychic powers further and further. Caulifla is on the defensive now. Not because she's backed into a corner but because she's entertaining you. But she's also clearly having fun. Each punch has more of a sting than the last but they still don't do any damage and only a third of them actually land.
The more you fall into that deep state of focus the more you loose yourself in the heat of battle and the larger commotion you cause. The sound of your little fight actually grows so loud that Vados walks over to you and starts questioning Cabba.
"What is this?"
"O-Oh... Vados! It's just uh... Caulifla and Eric sparring a bit."
"Hmmmm... his movements don't appear to be inhibited by his injury."
"T-That's because I stuck him in a healing tank."
"You what? Oh dear oh dear. Well, so much for that plan."
"So much for wha-"
"By the way, did Caulifla ask him? So she could reawaken her Super Saiyan powers?
Because they won't return this way." Cabba just blinks at this dumbly. "Her brute forcing of the transformation coupled with the Delayed Onset Ki Disorder due to her time as Kefla are the reason why she and Kale can't transform. They'd need rest and proper emotional drive to unleash their dormant power."
"Wait if you knew about that why didn't you tell them?"
"They didn't bother asking!" Vados smiles. "But I must say. Eric has really come a long way in such a short time. Tell me, how did you remove the bindings on his leg?"
"We... didn't."
"Wait... you mean to tell me..." Vados looks up in a hurry. "Is that possible?!"
Your flurry of attacks grows fiercer and fiercer until Caulifla decides she had enough and flies into the air. "What's wrong? Follow me!"
"I can't!"
"Okay... Then I'LL COME TO YOU!"
She begins her dive and prepares a fierce kick to put you in your place once and for all.
Feeling lost in your battle trance you prepare to meet her in kind and wind up your bound leg in order to attack her. Your kicks meet in the air and a shockwave is sent out when you collide. The force of the impact shakes your entire body and makes your leg go numb... but it does something else as well. The cast is broken and as its shards fall off your leg something amazing happens.
All of a sudden a pillar of pure energy erupts from your body shocking everyone around. Especially you. The resulting power is enough to throw Caulifla off of you for a moment as you're taken aback by this sudden surge of power. You can hear your opponent speaking up.
"So.... SO COOOOL!"
And Vados claps behind you. "Congratulations!"
You stare into your hand which is coated in a plainly visible purple aura. "Wow... Unreal! My God! THIS IS AMAZING! I FEEL INCREDIBLE!
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
You jump up and watch as the ground gets farther and farther away from you. With a simple flex and some focus you activate your levitation and find yourself floating mid air. Though bobbing up and down and wobbling like a drunk there is no doubt about it.
"I CAN FLYYYYY!"
"Yes. Congratulations." Vados follows you and immediately you see the difference between the two of you. She looks like she's standing on solid ground, meaning she can perfectly distribute an equal amount of constant upward thrust. You can't even begin to imagine how hard that could be. "You know, I was expecting you to disobey me and keep improving with the bindings but... not to this extent."
"Well, what can I say? I have a great teacher!
Aaaand I might've gotten in some trouble with Cabba and had to get better to get out of it."
As Vados lets out a chuckle however you hear another voice shouting up to you. "Hey! Are we doing this or what?!" Caulifla asks impatiently.
You turn down and look at here. "Yeah! BRING IT!"
Caulifla cracks her knuckles and smiles.
"Oh I'm tingling all over! This is gonna be goooood!"
Her body charges up with ki and with her white aura she begins flying towards you.
"CRUSH CANNON!"
She extends her arm upwards and fires several red blasts of energy at you. In response you generate a ball of psychic energy just like on planet Smog in an attempt to fight back. What you didn't realize initially however was that there were in fact several of the balls floating around you. Feeling confused about this development for a second you smirk and start improvising.
"Null Lance Barrage!"
Your energy attacks collide with the saiyans, resulting in some pretty fancy fireworks as Caulifla continues her mad dash for you. She flies through one particularly big explosion before cocking her fist, ready to strike. Crossing your arms you guard against her and feel both forearms go numb on impact. But you don't care.
Seeing the incoming fists you instinctually try to counter them to the best of your abilities. Clashing in a barrage of punches you manage to deflect or outright avoid most of Cauliflas hits but the few that make it past your steadfast guard do hurt. A lot. And no matter how many of your attacks are accurate they seem to do little to no damage. However as the fight progresses you start to notice how less and less of the Saiyan girls punches land on you.
Flying backwards and inviting the girl you begin running laps around Champas planet while exchanging blows with the smiling girl. Meanwhile Cabba and Kale are staring at you slackjawed. "H-How is Eric keeping up with her?!" Cabba asks.
"S-Sister!"
Happy with what she's seeing Vados starts explaining the situation to them. "Caulifla is a natural warrior but even after the Tournament of Power she's still lacking in finesse.
Her attacks are savage, instinctual and straightforward. For someone with Eric, someone whose mind is racing at previously unprecedented levels it's easy to read, predict and counteract an opponent like that."
"So he knows what Caulifla is going to do?"
"It looks like it. Though it's not quite precognition yet. Still... it's remarkable isn't it?"
Your fists keep clashing as your reaction time shortens. But you're not the only one who seems to be improving. Without exchanging a word you realize that Caulifla is using this to improve, much like you. Her attacks are becoming quicker and less easy to read. She throws a wide sweeping kick at your face, something she hasn't done before and as you bend backwards to dodge it, she quickly descends and with a pirouette kicks your feet.
Falling backwards in the air you push yourself away from the girl and try to reorientate yourself before you become dizzy. Caulifla wipes her nose. "Not bad... You're actually making me enjoy myself little ape!"
"It's my pleasure little monkey!"
You suffered some minor injuries in your little clash but nothing yet that could inhibit you.
But it's clear that eventually you'll loose if you keep engaging her in a fist fight.
Going down with a quick nosedive you spin around and land on your feet before inviting Caulifla to follow you. With a grin she happily takes the bait and begins to fly after you as you slide around the place. As she follows you she gets to REALLY take in the scenery as you lift every single pebble, boulder and piece of rock you spot lying around and throw it in her way.
She really doesn't seem to appreciate that as she smashes through them. "HEY! GET BACK HERE!"
"Nah! You'll have to catch me for that to happen!" You smugly say as you sandwich her between two stones. She breaks out of them naturally but she's still annoyed by it.
Flying around you take her to the nearby lake and as you lead her above it, you quickly raise up your finger and a big current of water rises up from the lake. Using it you trap Caulifla and encase the resulting bubble in a psychic barrier to trap her. With a squeeze of your hand you start increasing the pressure on her body which she manages to withstand for quite a while. However the bubble that was the size of a truck compressed until it's a very tight fit for the small girl.
She struggles to break free of it and as her air runs out she finally snaps and unleashes an explosion of ki to burst the bubble. Panting and gasping for air she looks you straight in the eye. "This is dirty!"
"On my planet we have a saying: All's fair in love and war." You extend your hand and invite her to attack you. "Now come on! You'll never beat me if you don't catch me!"
"Grrrrr... Fine! You asked for it HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" With a shout Caulifla powers up, no longer being satisfied by holding back against you. Truth be told her power scares you. A lot. But somehow that's not stopping you right now.
She charges and you begin to focus. Right now she outclasses you in terms of speed way too much. You need to pay attention if you want to dodge her next attack. But as your focus becomes sharp as a razors edge you start seeing something in front of you, like a shimmer or a mirage. "Caulifla wai-"
But your pleas fall on deaf ears. She rushes you with her maximum speed and throws a mighty punch which will surely hurt. All of a sudden however her fist changes course, bending around your body and missing you completely. The Saiyan blinks in confusion as she flies past you. At the same time you're not about to let such an opportunity go like that and after bringing up your arm you drive your elbow into her back which causes her to scream.
She howls like an injured animal and begins to fall into the lake while grasping at her stomach. In a fit of panic you go down and catch her before she could hit the water.
Looking like in a lot of pain she groans and winces, unable to open her eye.
"SISTER!" Kale calls out to her and you see her expression slowly shift from concerned to massively pissed off. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!"
"I-I... I don't know! I swear!" You fly over and place her down on the ground where she proceeds to writhe and roll around in pain until you hear a distinct "pop" coming from her, at which point she stops.
"Huh?" She wonders out loud and starts to look at her own body. "It stopped?"
"C-C-C-Caulifla!" Cabba mutters and points at the Saiyan girls behind. "Look!"
"Hmmmmm? WHAAAAAAAAA?!"
A long and brown tail popped out slightly above her butt. Naturally she's freaking out about it.
Vados takes a look at this before taking in the scenery you just wrecked. "Hmmmm... How peculiar... But this... tsk tsk tsk. Such an ugly sight. I'll have to fix it. And you two... I think this is quite enough for today. Understand? Now run along before someone gets even more hurt..."
"Sorry... I'll make it up to you somehow.
How does a lunch sound?"
"You..." Kale speaks up. "You hurt my sister! And you think some FOOD will make that right?!" She growls at you and you swear to god you saw her eyes turn yellow for a second. Like, she had actual pupils and a yellow iris.
"Ease up Kale..." Caulifla calms her down. Her voice has just a hint of exhaustion in it.
"It's nothing. Hell, this doesn't feel too bad all things considered. Like it's natural or something."
"S-Sis?"
You sigh with relief and lead the saiyans back inside while Vados restores the planet you just wrecked. As Caullifla sits down to rest her tired body and Kale watches over her like a guard dog you head into the kitchen to begin cooking. Learning from your past experience with these monkeys you prepare to make a grand meal to sate their appetite. Or... perhaps you can triumph over these monstrous eating machines.
There is one way. Perhaps the only way. Forbidden for even the most experienced chefs for it can give you a heart attack just by looking at it. But perhaps it's the one thing that can win over these Saiyans. Nodding you crack your knuckles and begin preparing the dish utilizing your psychic powers to their fullest.
The dish bears the name of its creator: The Master. And it requires an inordinate amount of food. Two whole animals worth. But by your estimate less will suffice. First is pork, covered in ranch dressing and wrapped in a thick layer of beef. Covering the whole thing in batter you inject it with a mixture of molten pepperjack and cheddar cheese and prepare to flash fry this mutha!
Working several utensils and performing several work processes at once means you managed to finish it at a reasonable pace and as the thing cooks you even have some time for yourself. Popping open a bottle of half dry, red wine you pour yourself a bottle and start drinking.
"Well that sure was unexpected." Vados speaks up as she walks in.
"Don't need to tell me. I can't believe I spanked the monkey so hard she popped a tail."
"Oh don't be too torn up about that. Apparently the ones in Universe 7 have tails to begin with."
"Huh... Then why don't they?"
"Who knows? Perhaps it's dormant in them.
After all the ones from the other universe were apparently quite savage." She explains.
"By the way, are you sure you should be drinking?"
"Oh this is... not for the sake of inebriation.
It's a... gourmet thing of sorts. You taste it for the flavor. Want some?"
"Well... I might as well try."
You pour her a glass and she takes just a small sip of it. "Oh my... this is quite bold and... robust."
"I told you it's good. There are a variety of chemicals in it too. So if you drink in moderation it actually has quite a few health benefits."
"Are there more types of these drinks where you come from?"
"More than I can count!"
"Then I wouldn't mind trying some of them out at a later date!" Looks like you may have found the weakpoint of your master. Just need to make sure you don't abuse it too much.
After the meal was done you served it for the Saiyans and it was a resounding success.
Despite there being a single dish in front of them it was sufficient in filling the bottomless pit they call a stomach. They didn't even ask for seconds!
Once the girls entered a post-meal stupor they sat down on a couch and quietly fell asleep. They almost looked cute that way, especially how Cauliflas new tail wrapped around Kales arm like they were holding hands. Putting a blanket on them you cracked your neck and realized how fucking tired you are after that.
The question is... how to relax?
You go back to your room, grab a towel and change into your swim trunks before heading into the thermal bath. The place is really impressive, almost fit for a god you'd say. Natural and permanently warm water falls down from a small waterfall, fueling the pools below with fresh water. You don't really know where it comes from or where it goes, only that it's most pleasant.
Putting down the towel you take a nice little dip and just enjoy the bath. The joints in your body sigh with relief and the tension in your muscles melts away under the warm water. It's so pleasant in fact that you start feeling a bit drowsy, though that could be from the fact that your brain's been chugging along way above 100%.
"Maybe resting my eye for a bit is not such a bad idea..." You muse to yourself as you grab a little shuteye while soaking your bones.
Your breathing starts to become fairly rhythmic before something gets your attention and your eyes snap open.
"Let's go Kale! I think it's here somewhere."
You hear Caulifla speaking.
"Occupied. Give me five minutes." You start standing up when you see the Saiyan girls enter. "I told you to give me five minutes and I'll be gone."
"Is that you Eric? Man it's echoey in here.
Naaaah. We don't mind."
"Oh..." You sit back into the pool. "Well in that case go ahead. There is plenty of room to go around."
"Thank you!" Caulifla expresses her gratitude and starts pulling down her baggy pants which causes chills to run up your spine and look away.
"WAI-WAI-WAI-WAI-WAIT! What... ARE you DOING?!"
"I'm getting naked. You too Kale. You can't take a bath in clothes dummy."
"Y-Y-Y-Yes sister!" Kale responds in her excitement.
In the meantime you have the most terrible time forcing yourself to look away and cover your eyes like your damn life depends on it. You want to look. There is nothing in this universe you want to do more than look. But you can't! "What are you doing?" Caulifla asks you in confusion.
"I AM LOOKING AWAY!" You shout at her.
"Huh? Why? You think I'm UGLY?!"
"No! Nonono! But... You can't expect me to stare at you naked!"
"Why not? I said I don't care!"
"That's not it! I just... I can't okay? My mom and dad raised me well! They told me to not peep! So either let me get out or-" At that Caulifla jumped in with a loud "Yippee!" and did a cannonball in the pool. "Or that works as well..."
"Phew! Come in Kale! Waters fine!"
Kale then also gets in though she is lot less bombastic than her "sister". And despite being so meek she can have a fucking mean glare while hiding behind Caulifla. But unfortunately for her, her big sis' decided to swim pretty close so she can tease you.
Her tail rises from the water and starts tickling your nose. "Man you earthlings are weird. Is it just you or your entire race like this?"
You try swatting her new furry body part away as you answer her. "I can't speak for anyone other than myself. But I'll be the first one to admit that I'm... a bit different from the norm."
"And are you considered strong or weak by earth standards? I mean... you managed to knock this thing out of me so..."
"Actually..." You lean back and look at the ceiling. "I'm pretty sure I'm the strongest human in this universe right now. If I went back home I could become a god amongst men and rule over them with an iron fist if I wanted."
Caulifla then cocks her head in confusion.
"So why don't you?!"
"Two reasons... Three if you count "I don't want to". One: I'm pretty sure Champa would blow me up alongside Earth if I left. And two: I'm good here. I've become something... more. Something humanity only dreamt of achieving. And only in the span of a couple days. I'm not going to just quit, especially when I can't even see the ceiling!"
"Heh... are you sure you are human? 'Cuz that sounds a lot like Saiyan talk to me!"
"Who knows? All I know is that if my ancestors could see me, they'd be proud."
"Your ancestors? What sort of ancestors do you have?"
You struggle to come up with a way to describe it to her. In the end you resort to the simplest solution. "Warriors!"
"Heh... Sounds neat! Hey! I might check this Eyarth out for myself!"
"Sure... I could show you around. If you show me around Sadala."
"Nnnno."
"Why?"
"I'm not welcome there. I'm an outlaw. I lead a gang of renegades in some fringe systems and cause trouble. So the Sadala Force would lock me up the second I set foot there. Or they would if I let them!"
"A criminal huh? Greeeeat. But please promise me you won't start any trouble. Earth is small and underdeveloped. Most people never even seen an alien before."
"Whatever..."
"I'll take that as a yes. Anyway, I think I'm done here." You stand up and get ready to leave but stop for a moment. "By the way... weren't you two asleep after lunch?"
"We were. But I got sweaty under that blanket.
Not sure why that dork Cabba even bothered..."
"Hehe... Me neither! Well, I'll take my leave. Have fun you two!"
Leaving the place and cleaning yourself before getting dressed, you make your way out to get some fresh air. Your joints crackle and pop as you give them a good stretch after the relaxing bath. Only when you feel a presence approaching you do you stop.
"I was under the assumption you got that cube ship of yours. How come you're still here?" You ask the assassin.
"I don't have a contract right now... And I found something on this planet which interests me. Is that a problem?"
"It's not my planet. Do as you please."
"You have a problem with me..."
"No. I'm scared shitless of you. Big difference."
"Are you opposed to killing? Is that it?"
"It doesn't sit well with me to kill for money if that's what you're asking."
"A shame. You'd make a decent assassin."
You raise an eyebrow at that. "I observed your training with Vados and that Saiyan.
I see what she likes about you now..."
"I'm flattered."
"I could help you get better you know...
You and I aren't so different. In terms of power at least. Both of us draw from the same pool of knowledge. But you're a novice.
You are sloppy."
"Oh really?"
"Yes..."
"A'ight... Tell me."
"Throw a punch."
"What?"
"Throw a punch."
Nodding you assume the fighting stance Vados mercilessly chiseled into your psyche and after pulling your arm back you put every bit of power you could muster into that one punch. "Wrong." Hit replies.
"Okay... how?"
He then begins charging his ki and shouting REALLY loudly. Almost like the Saiyans.
Finally he stops and looks at you. "Tell me, what did that achieve?"
"Nothing?"
"Exactly. Unlike the Saiyans I can't grow stronger by powering up or through some flashy transformation. So instead of getting stronger... I just get better. Use what I have more efficiently. The truth of the matter is that you don't use your muscles for your punch, you use your mind. That's a lot of wasted time and energy for just one punch.
Now observe." He pockets both his hands before quickly drawing one, raisin his fist up to his shoulder and quickly delivering a jab.
"That didn't have much force behind it."
"It doesn't need to. I use my abilities to make each of my strikes hurt, regardless how much power is behind them or how durable my opponent is. Here's how it works. You use your energy to empower your strikes, so in theory you could make them hit harder with more energy but if that's not viable you must change how you apply it. Use quick, simple attacks as a means of transporting your psychic energy into your opponent." He raises his hand and puts up two fingers. "There are two ways to handle psychic strikes. Maximizing the surface of contact or minimizing it. By striking the largest area possible you spread out your power over it, increasing the concussive force of the strikes.
Ideally this can disorient or knock out even the hardiest of foes if you manage to repeatedly hit them in areas like the head."
You open up your palm and do a quick little thrust just like he said. "This good?"
He nods. "The other is a bit more... nuanced.
If you focus all the force into a singular point you can maximize the effect of your strikes.
Unfortunately this means you have to be incredibly accurate but if you know your opponents body, their weakpoints like joints or soft tissue, the location of their organs then by repeatedly striking them you can kill anyone. Even a God. No being is perfect."
"So... hit their weakpoints with a needle over and over again..."
"Yes. No matter how hardy you might be, you can't make your internal organs stronger.
So... how do you want to handle this?"
You open up your palm and deliver a quick thrust with it, like Hit said. Instead of the usual attack sequences that Vados taught, you go ahead and revise them a bit. Less wind up, quicker delivery, same amount of energy behind them. Your hand makes a satisfying "Whoosh" as you throw it out and you see the leaves falling from nearby trees change their fall.
Narrowing your eyes you lower your right hand until it's roughly near your waist and raise the left up and next to your face.
Alternating between palms you deliver a quick flurry of both low and high attacks, each one sending out a small wave of force. Next up were the legs. And in accordance to what the assassin told, you practiced large, sweeping kicks aiming to strike the enemy with your shin. Stopping your little practice you turn to Hit.
"How's that?"
"Not bad." Hit pockets his hands. "Now let's give it a little stress test, shall we?"
His strike is lightning fast, you didn't even see him take out the hand with which he attacked you. However thanks to his little warning it didn't catch you off guard and you managed to intercept his knuckles with your open palm. He smiles and pulls his arm back.
"My hand almost went numb there. Like hitting a brick wall. Perhaps Vados is right about you after all."
"Thanks. But why do you care? Why am I so interesting to you?"
"Because... if you are as talented as I suspect than perhaps you could be the catalyst for my next evolutions as a fighter. If imparting my knowledge onto you is what it takes to get a good opponent then so be it. For I want to get stronger, much like you."
"Because of that tournament?" You ask.
"Yes... I am still not good enough. But with that said, you are picking this up surprisingly quick. I wonder... In your fight that Saiyan girl. You managed to distort space. Isn't that right?"
"I... guess? It was a fluke though."
"Accident or not, you are capable. Now pay close attention." Hits body begins to vibrate and suddenly stop. "Did you catch that?"
"Catch what?"
"...Nothing. Forget I asked."
"Well anyways... Thanks for the advice.
I'll make sure to take it to heart."
"Hmph... No problem. And come see me again. I still have a few tricks I could teach you."
"Will do."
"Hey Eric!" A new voice calls out to you.
"Can we go now?" You turn around and see Caulifla leading Kale by the hand.
"Sure. Let me get Vados." Walking up to your mentor you nicely ask her if she could give you a ride home. To sweeten the deal for her you promise that you'll bring her some Whiskey to taste. She agrees and soon enough you take off for Earth.
Landing back in some sort of a forest you take a deep breath and look around, taking in the scenery. Up on the sky you see the beautiful full moon glowing like the gem it is.
"Ahhhh... Feels good to be back home.
Don't get me wrong, living with god is nothing short of perfect but this is still my home!"
"Wow. Looks pretty primitive." Caulifla observes. "But at least it looks nice. Especially with that uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh..."
"Sis?"
Vados turns to the saiyan. "What's wrong Caulifla? Speechless?"
Little do the other parties present know, at this moment Cauliflas heart is beating like a sledgehammer. Each pound knocks on the primal parts of her subconscious, desperately wanting to get out. She starts to loose all sense of self and control as she grits her teeth and bares her fangs. Her musclemass begins to expand, first slowly then quite rapidly. Hair begins to envelop her as she grows in size and her eyes go blood red.
"GUYS! WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!"
You ask in dumb confusion.
Kale with tears in her eyes responds. "I DON'T KNOW!"
"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
"Hmmmmm... It appears to be some sort of a physiological change brought about her new tail and exposure to moonlight. Fascinating." The giant monkey stomps on the ground where Vados was a moment ago. "And it appears to come with a ten times power boost! Fascinating."
"K-Kale! Do you know a way to stop this?!"
Mustering her courage she rushes forward and starts pleading for the giant ape to stop.
"Please Caulifla! Please stop! Don't you remember me?"
The monkey stops for a moment, seemingly understanding the words of the other saiyan.
It reaches out and then SLAMS Kale into the ground like swatting a fly.
"We're soooo fucked!"
