Chapter 133 - 133: Meeting Goku and Vegeta...

[A/N: Sorry for the wait]

...

"...?" Edam flew around and took a look and indeed saw a blue-haired guy completely unconscious inside.

"Hmm, he's still alive…" Edam could hear his heart beating. Turning his head toward Trunks he asked. "Should we help him?"

"Eh? How would I know? You're the ȧduŀt here…" 

"Yeah, but it's not my house, I don't even know what I'm still doing here…" Edam shrugged his shoulders while the instructor from before then pointed out that the machine was a Capsule Corporation craft.

"Oh…" Edam said and observed the guy inside. "He's a Saiyan…"

"What? How do you know?" Trunks asked curiously?

"Well… he just feels like one…" Edam himself couldn't tell how and why but he just inwardly knew that this guy was someone of his race.

"That's strange though…" Edam's nose twitched a bit as it picked a familiar odor. "You have the same scent… and he has your exact features apart from the hair… is that your brother perhaps?"

"Huh? I don't have any siblings." Trunks said before looking toward the dog. "Shu, go find my mother now!"

"Ye-Yes!" The dog executed the order as he ran toward the house.

A few breaths later, Shu successfully came back running with Bulma.

"Oh my God!" A shocked expression filled Bulma's face as she took a look at one place of the machine and saw the word "Hope" written on it. 

"Oh sh*t, quick, quick boys, help me take him out, quick!" Like a panicking mother hen, she said in a hurry and in a way that couldn't be refused.

Edam then quickly brought him to the terrace while Trunks went to retrieve a bed to lay him on. 

"I have to call Vegeta, Edam, please take care of him!" Bulma then rushed like a missile into the house.

"...?" Edam was stunned by her line. "Why me?" He glanced around as he met Trunks's eyes who was a bit at a loss.

"...sigh, fine…" His face twitched a bit, as he sighed and went toward this unknown Saiyan before placing a hand hanging over him as he closed his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Trunks and his friends near asked in wonder.

"...I'm just ȧssessing his condition…"

"You're a doctor?!" Trunks and his friends exclaimed in surprise.

"Doctor is too big of a word to describe my skills…" Edam replied humbly as he kept his eyes closed.

After a few seconds, just as he had finished, Bulma also came out while yelling and talking to a strange device in her hand as she rushed to the unconscious young man.

"How is he?" She quickly asked Edam while instantly replied.

"He's got a few broken bones, a few organ damages and he's also very exhausted...all in all, he's in pretty bad shape..."

"Ah, thank you, Edam…" Although she was surprised, she didn't have much time to think about it.

"Here, take a look!" Bulma hurriedly closed the device toward the unconscious young man.

Edam then realized that he forgot to tell her that he gave this Trunks some of his Ki to heal him up, healing him a bit, not much, but still...

And she seemed to speak with a lot of other people. As such, he didn't want to disturb her, the situation was kinda critical after all.

"It's Trunks and he's in bad shape!" She seemed to speak with a lot of other people.

"...?!" Without speaking about the little Trunks and his friends, even Edam who was around for as long as a single day instantly realized the fishy thing going on around here.

"Who gives their child's the same name?" The blue child named Pilaf said with narrowing eyes.

"What if they were trying to make a Trunks army…?" Shu, the shinobi-dressed dog, exposed his theory.

"This is crazy…!" While the little girl softly exclaimed in awe of this theory.

They all continued with their theories while Edam sat on the border of the terrace and merely listened to them curiously.

Yamote also came out, as he looked curiously at the machine that this guy came with.

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Hmm, this machine is releasing some energy of time… I thought my brother was here…"

"Oh, you have a brother?"

"Yes, it's my twin brother, and he has power over time, so that's why I thought that he might be here…"

"He looks incredible…"

"Well, I guess he is, yeah…"

…

Meanwhile...

"...Your parents have a dark secret for sure!" Pilaf said with an ominous expression.

"Whaaa…!" Trunks yelled in fear and shock, seemingly believing the idiocy coming out of his mouth. 

"Ahh, would you quiet down…! I'm dealing with a crisis here…!"  Burma yelled furiously, making the three shrink in fear as they replied obediently.

"Yes, ma'am…!" 

Turning back to her device, Bulma continued to speak with whom Edam concluded to be her husband, giving the familiarity that she used to speak with him.

"Do you have some senzu beans on you Goku?"

"No sorry, I've been out of it for a while…" A male's voice on the other side said before another voice sounded out. "Then use the instant transmission to go to Korin and get some."

"I can't, we're too far away for me to pick an energy…"

"Then we'll need to go to earth first…" The other voice said before calling out. "Bulma, is Trunks there? I mean not the older one, the younger one, is he there with you?"

"Yes, he's right here…" Bulma said as she stood up.

"I need him to raise his energy as high as he can."

"Understood, did you hear that Trunks, we need you to go outside and charge as much as you can."

Various and complicated emotions were visible on Trunks' face. "W- what for..? What's going on here…? A- And I don't even know who this guy is…"

"There's no time! Go!"

!!?

"Yes! Sorry!" Trunks finally said as he rushed outside like a bullet.

"...?" What followed though kinda stunned Edam out of his mind.

"Haaah…!" Trunks who had rushed outside yelled his lungs out. 

Boom! His hair started to rise while a fiery golden aura abruptly burst out of his body.

"..." Edam was truly speechless at this sight. 

The energy that this kid was releasing was incredible and powerful! It wasn't the amount that shocked Edam but more like the energy in itself, it truly was peculiar.

"So this is what you meant by drawing energy from the S-Cells… the Ki is not the same indeed..." He spoke to Yamote with his mind.

"Yup, to name it in simple terms, we could call it, a bloodline power…?"

"Hmm, but didn't I succeed? I felt this same energy flowing through my veins earlier…"

"Well, that's exactly that… though there was a small disturbance, that's the gist of it. You had already put a step into it, but you were way too young and inexperienced back then… you couldn't retain this form…"

"Hmm? But why can he then?" He said clearly pointing out Trunks.

"He's a Hybrid Saiyan, some rules don't apply to them…" Yamote said and shrugged.

"Huh…" Unknown to him, his mouth arched into a very faint smile and a light brightened inside his eyes. "Well, this hairstyle is kinda cool though heh…"

And while they were speaking…

Swish!

Apart from Bulma, to everyone's surprise, four guys each differently dressed appeared in the blink of an eye. If Edam hadn't kept his eyes open, he might not have seen these people appear.

'Sh*t…' Yamote exclaimed but didn't do anything.

"Dad!" Seeing the guy in blue, Trunks ran toward him.

"Good job, where is he?" The guy in blue asked.

"Vegeta, over here, please hurry…" Bulma replied to his question and showed 'older' Trunks to them.

"Why do you think he came back this time?" The guy in orange asked curiously.

"Don't just stand there, go get the senzu beans…" The Vegeta guy said.

"Ah right, sorry…" The guy in orange then put two fingers on his forehead as he quickly disappeared into thin air.

"..." Edam was a bit taken aback by all the things happening. 

Indeed, the instructor who was seemingly a normal person went into a frenzy as she started to question her own existence in this place before asking the Vegeta guy for a leave of a week or two.

"...Wimp…" The guy named Vegeta said before turning toward the 'older' Trunks' direction.

However, as his eyes landed on older Trunks, they immediately darted toward Edam as they narrowed slightly. "Who are you?"

"..." Meeting with this guy, a sense of oppression that he had never felt in his life weighed down upon him. 

"You… you're a Saiyan…?"

"I'm…" Before Edam could finish his sentence, he was interrupted. 

"Ah, yes, with Trunk's case, I totally forgot to tell you about it…" Bulma then cut in as she spoke to Vegeta. "This is Edam, a nice young man who arrived yesterday…"

"You're quite young huh, and what do you want?" Vegeta directly asked Edam.

"I came here for the Super Dragon Balls..." Edam simply said with a firm expression.

"And you think we'll simply give them to you? What a joke..." Vegeta scoffed slightly with a ridiculing expression.

"...Of course not, Bulma-san told me that they had been used already…" The reason Edam was kinda desperate right now was that eight months later he would only have one month to search them all.

And apparently, searching them could take years to do so since they were dispersed through two universes.

"..." Vegeta scrutinized a few secs before saying. "I will deal with you after finishing my business here..." He then turned around.

Swing!

"Vegeta, catch…!" The orange-dressed guy who was gone for a moment then came back and quickly gave a green bean to Vegeta who quickly gave it to the older Trunks.

The green bean completely healed the injuries this older Trunks had.

It was only then that the orange guy noticed Edam. "Hum? Hey there, who are you?" The guy asked with a very curious gaze. 

"I'm Edam, a pŀėȧsurė to meet you…" Edam nodded toward this guy who seemed to be pretty nice.

"Oh, me too, I'm Son Goku, and you can call me Goku!" Seeing that Edam was rather polite, Goku smiled and gave his name before adding.

"But wow it's pretty rare to see a Saiyan nowadays, hehe you're surely powerful aren't you?"

"Uh?" Edam saw a strange light burning in Goku's eyes as he said this line. 'What?'

'Powerful? Me?' Edam inwardly knew that he was nothing but a joke to this guy at his current level.

Goku then turned toward Vegeta. "So is it working?"

"Yeah…"

"Why do you think Trunks came back this time…?"

"How would I know? Let's see when he wakes up." Vegeta replied as they all looked at the older Trunks lying on the bed.

It didn't take much time before the older Trunk's eyelashes finally began to flutter as they opened up.

However…

The next few seconds shocked every single person present since...

"You- You f*cking…!" 

Bam!

Rumble!

The very instant older Trunks opened his eyes and woke up, he immediately and abruptly punched no one else than the very kind Son Goku!

"Eh?" But even though he was taken by surprise, Son Goku effortlessly stopped that powerful punch with his hand. "T- Trunks? Hey, it's me-..."

"...I will kill you!" The older Trunks shouted out before…

Slap!!!

"Calm down!" Burma violently slapped his head to calm him down. "It's Goku…"

And it worked as the young man was finally clear-minded. "Eh? So… so it's really you Goku?"

"Yeah, of course, you really surprised me there…" Goku merely rubbed his head and laughed.

"Ah, I'm so sorry!" Trunks slightly bowed down when he realized what he did. "I- I- thought you were- I'm so sorry!"

And then a long conversation about something that happened in the past took place.

The older Trunks then kneeled in front of Bulma and started to cry in sadness… 

Feeling a little bit awkward here and with nothing here being any of his business, Edam simply decided to leave...

"...I was going to leave anyway…" Edam shrugged and muttered. 

He didn't have anything to do in here anymore so he was gonna leave and think of some other ways to save his family… but when his eyes met with the two other people who came with Vegeta… his legs completely stopped in their tracks.

One of them was a humanoid purple cat and the other one was a guy with a blue halo around his neck holding a scepter in hand.

For a reason or another and that he completely ignored, Edam's heart missed a beat when his gaze landed on these two guys. The purple cat gave off an unexplainable and frightening feeling as if the whole universe was gonna crumble on him and crush him into a pulp if he were to take a step toward him.

And yet what bewildered Edam was that as he looked at the people around, each of them didn't seem to feel the same as him. They were all awfully calm… Was he too weak? Or were they all too powerful?

And just like him, the purple cat and blue halo guy's eyes also met his own at the same time as the purple cat's tilted to the side and its eyes narrowed slightly with a little bit of curiosity in the depth of his eyes.

"Hum?" The purple cat lets a small sound out as he disappears into thin air as well. 

Swing!

!?

However, Edam also instantly felt the same frightening aura on his back as his eyes slowly looked backward and he saw that same purple cat standing right behind him with his forearms resting on the border of the terrace.

The purple cat had Trunks standing on his right and Edam on his left.

It was only after he looked back that Trunks finally realized that the purple cat was behind them. "Eh? Lord Beerus?"

"Well did you see that Whis…?" The purple cat said while looking at Edam.

"Yes, this is interesting indeed, my lord..." The guy named Whis replied with a mysterious and kinda intrigued smile as his eyes then landed on the bird on Edam's shoulder.

"..." The Whis seemed to search in his memories as he then murmured. "Hmm…"

"..." Yamote was sweating a lot though.

"You…" Beerus called out to Edam and asked rather politely. "What was your name again?"

"Uh, my name is Edam…" He was rather surprised by the polite tone used by the other party.

"You can sense my Ki aren't you…?"

"Uh… yeah I guess, why…?"

"..." Beerus fell silent for a moment before chuckling with a strange smile. "Heh… nothing, don't mind me…"

Turning toward little Trunks, Beerus then asked. "And as for you little guy, you're also called Trunks if I recall it well right?"

"...hum…" Little Trunks nodded and looked at the older Trunks.

"Don't tell me… they would dare…?"

The one called Whis then cut in. "This is a timeline distortion, yes…"

"I knew it…" Beerus merely confirmed his own suspicions.

It didn't take long for Bulma to completely confirm that older Trunks and little Trunks were the same people.

She quickly came to boast about this time machine that her future counterpart built, although she was quickly rebuked by Whis who explained that messing with time was a serious crime and that playing with it could lead to the destruction of a civilization and a world even...

…

'Yamote who the hell are they? I can sense your soul trembling at their sight…'

"..." There was a moment of silence. 'Sigh… I don't know if we're lucky or unlucky…'

'These two charming persons are actual divine beings… the humanoid purple cat called Beerus is commonly called a Destroyer or God of Destruction while the white-haired guy is an Angel, a Destroyer's servant, and master…'

'His master…?" Edam was flabbergasted by that as he looked at Whis.

The latter sensed its gaze and gave a faint smile in his direction making Edam avoid his gaze.

'Sigh… and here I thought that he would have retired already…"

"Who?"

"Beerus of course, he has a terrible temper! Before my brother and I were born, he even tried to cook us! If not for our mother, we would be dead eggs!" Yamote exclaimed angrily as he thought about it.

"Oh… eggs?"

… 

After finishing his conversation with Yamote, Edam gazed back at Bulma and the others.

"I should destroy you all for disturbing the flow of time…" Beerus said as he looked at Bulma and Trunks with severe eyes.

"Ah no please punish me in my mother's stead, my God…!" Trunks pleaded and kneeled to Beerus.

"Haha, go easy on him, Lord Beerus, he's a formidable fighter…" Goku laughed out merrily.

"Hmph! Then you better give me something I've never eaten." Beerus crossed his arms and said with a humph.

To which Bulma replied by giving Whis, Beerus, Older Trunks, and Edam a sausage.

"Ah, thank you but I was gonna leave…" 

"Just eat it, don't be shy…"

Edam blankly looked at the sausage which was given with such kindness and that he just couldn't refuse out of politeness. 'The whole universe wants me to stay here or what?'

"Why are you giving him one too?" Vegeta asks Bulma with a curious, disapproving, and suspicious tone.

"Hmm? He's my guest, of course, I have to give him one…" Bulma merely said with a smile before examining the time machine again.

Okay, I will just stop here for now…

I'm currently playing Dragon Ball Legends, that's why I'm slow to release. I didn't know that the main character was an Ancient Saiyan, I'm learning a lot of things, and that is cool.. New ideas are coming to me thanks to that. Sorry for the waiting ????
