章節 94: Future Bulma
Trunks climbed out of the time machine and put it back into it's capsule, he then gestured to Raditz and led him through the hallways of capsule corporation.
Although this was essentially Raditz's palace, but this was an unknown future and a few things have changed to guard against the androids, Trunks showing him around would save time and help preserve traps.
They were poor right now, the less traps they used up the better, that material can be used in another place.
*Step*
"This is a laser corridor, even Mr Gohan was injured when he wasn't powered up."
Trunks explained while taking Raditz through a hidden pathway away from the corridor, the corridor was a trap and a deadly one at that.
Raditz didn't say a word and quietly walked along, currently he was constantly scanning the world and trying to find survivors.
And he had finally found the one he wanted to.
'Satan, he's still alive, this will be easy then.'
Everyone on Earth can die, but Satan can't, that was his special ability, the ability of luck and deception.
This almost functioned like a Dragonball wish, maybe someone jokingly wished for a random person to be extremely successful without having the required skills.
Or, it's just Satan who's that good, either way Raditz found the man he needed to rile everyone up.
'As long as that guy is on board, he'll manage everyone's emotions.'
The Satan here lived alone, there was no Miguel or Videl's ki around him, both of them had died it seems, just like his own family's ki was absent.
Scale, Sharpener, Ruly, Erasa, her family, everyone he even remotely knew was dead, but curiously only some the animals have died, most of them still live in his forest.
'Good, that means animals aren't their priority, or they are the second priority."
'Either way it means they have an intact logic core, no matter how corrupted it is, if there's a logic core, there's a way.'
Ignoring Cell, almost every major villain had joined the z fighters later on in their lives, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Piccolo, Vegeta, 16, 17, 18, Buu, Berrus, Granolah, when stretching the definition Cell juniors with 17 could be thrown into that list too.
Even Freeza refused to kill Goku and Vegeta when he had the chance in Super, after he joined them for the tournament, it's this special addition of villains into the fold which keeps the z fighters going strong.
'Funny, Goku could have been a villain as well, if he didn't hit his head.'
On top of that in this reality, Raditz, Nappa and Tao pie pie can also be added into that ever growing list.
'And we are supposed to be the good guys, it's crazy how Goku changes people.'
"We are here."
Trunks's words brought Raditz out of his contemplation.
*Twist*
Looking up he saw a locked door, which was starting to open up from the inside.
With multiple mechanisms released the door finally opened up.
And a slightly haggard Bulma came into view.
"Trunks you are okay-"
Stopping in her tracks Bulma looked at Raditz with wide eyes, then her face slowly teared up when she realised it wasn't her Raditz, but his past self.
*Sniff*
Closing her eyes Bulma sobbed lightly, which turned into a soft cry after she felt those arms in her memory hugging her again.
While Raditz consoled Bulma, Trunks gave them space and returned to his room.
As he walked towards his destination, he clenched his fist and mumbled.
"Just you wait.."
"It won't be long, your reign of terror will be over."
Trunks declared before going to the control room through his room's hidden pathway, he wanted to check the android's location from the satellite feed.
Sitting himself in the main seat, Trunks turned on the CC satellite feed and started the global view.
Soon he found the three wreaking havoc in a nearby city.
"Dammit, 16, 17 and 18, those guys are hunting humans again..!"
This was a sick game the three liked to play, well, it was mostly two because 16 only killed those who wanted the escape and didn't join in on the 'fun'.
But that didn't stop him from killing escapees anyway, it was 16 who finally dealt the killing blow to Gohan as well, this made Trunks hate him just as much as the rest.
"That's what they call human hunting? Seems like they have totally lost it."
The gruff voice coming from behind snapped Trunks out of his rage filled haze.
Looking back he quickly composed himself and stood up, leaving the seat to Raditz, Raditz's aura alone made him act the way he did, refusing to sit if the King stood.
"T-that's right. It's this sick act they call a game."
Trunks explained with poorly hidden anger.
Bulma who stood besides Raditz also looked on with sadness.
"You are right, they show signs of a corrupted logic core, looking closely, their movements are violent beyond need."
"It goes against the self preservation instincts of the human body, it seems Gero rewrote most of that too."
Bulma was basically informed by Raditz on the research they did on android's possible faults.
Here in the future after Raditz died Bulma didn't have the luxury to research the androids, but past Raditz survived due to Trunks's interference, her split timeline self had made a lot of progress in this field.
She honestly felt jealous of her past self, this could have been her.
Now even if Raditz is standing besides her again, she knew he wasn't her Raditz, he was a Raditz from the past produced by a timeline split.
A timeline she had created involuntarily, she really hoped this didn't doom another set of her friends, maybe she was way over her head thinking she can make everything better again.
Maybe she should have just-
"Bulma, don't overthink stuff, I am here now, everything will be fine!"
"Just leave it all to me, alright?"
Raditz's words somehow magically calmed down Bulma, maybe it was the habit developed by her for so long that was coming into play, or it was the confidence in his words.
Whatever it was, she was willing to let it control her, she wanted solace from the constant pressure of survival, even for a little while.
"That's the Bulma I know, good girl, now sit back and relax."
Smiling at Raditz's comfort which she received after a long time, Bulma laughed a bit as she pushed her hair back, yes, she was safe with Raditz now, safer than she had been in a long time.
looking at the still nervous Trunks, Bulma smiled sweetly and spoke softly, her adopted son should also let it go for a while, he was under too much pressure since Gohan died.
"He is right Trunks, we have done enough..!"
"Now, let your King take the lead."
Hearing the pain behind Bulma's words which was slowly being hidden away, Raditz suddenly started laughing boisterously, but his energy wasn't laughing.
His eyes were shining golden while his hair had started fluttering, a bloodthirsty smirk was beginning to form on his face as he saw the android's firing upon a little boy, they had done too much.
He wasn't Goku, he didn't have the charisma of his brother nor did he have a big heart like him, even then Goku lost it when Krillin had died unjustly against Piccolo's minions.
So watching this cruelty happen before his eyes as the androids laughed merrily, and the haggard state of his future wife, Raditz's legendary instincts were beginning to takeover.
His ki was bubbling from the inside, wanting to unleash hell upon those who had crossed his path, and for once, he decided to let these instincts take the lead.
"I'll be going now Bulma, Trunks."
"This has gone on long enough."
Said Raditz lightly, he might have activated his legendary rage but Raditz was still a man of balance.
Unlike Broly, Raditz was a self made Legendary who rose from the ground up, controlling his rage was a matter of thought for Raditz.
His wrath will be unleashed upon the androids only, as for if or not they can be reprogrammed, he'll let nature take the lead.
"Raditz wait-"
Bulma called Raditz who was beginning to leave, stopping mid way Raditz gave his back to Bulma.
Who spoke quickly.
"Take Trunks with you."
Shaking his head Raditz denied the idea, before Bulma and Trunks can try and convince him otherwise, he spoke softly but sternly.
"No, I am not sure what will happen next, I have never gone into my berserk state before."
"I might not be able to tell enemies apart if that were to happen, let Trunks stay here, I'll be right back."
Trunks raised his hand and wanted to stop Raditz from risking it, three against one was bonkers, especially because Raditz didn't have Super Saiyan yet.
"Wait-"
"Let him go Trunks."
Bulma softly interrupted Trunks, and Raditz took the chance to leave the building.
Watching Raditz leave and the confused Trunks who didn't know why he was stopped, Bulma remained silent and wiped a tear off her eye.
This might not be her Raditz, but he cared all the same.
