Dragon Saga

As the afternoon sun hung in the sky Ethan was taking a stroll around the West City roads to shake off the boredom.

After the duel, everyone went back to Kame House for lunch and went to rest by the beach. At the time when they were resting Alex told Master Roshi about them leaving the Kame House, so they could go on a short journey to wander around the places and experience the life in the cities.

Master Roshi didn't stop them but told them to earn some money to cover their expenses for the journey and Alex decided to visit Capsule Corp. to get help from Bulma.

"Dr. B.r.i.e.f.s your inventions are great and quite convenient for day to day life. If you don't mind I have a few ideas about the alien techs Saiyans used can you try to recreate them?"

"Of course, I would love to work on new ideas but I think it would be faster if we have some samples."

"I don't have any samples with me at the moment but we could try to find the spaceship that brought Goku to Earth, would that help?"

"That would be a great help in understanding Saiyan technology, even Bulma would be interested to join the development process."

Alex had been with Dr. Brief from the time he arrived at the Capsule Corp. He had decided to learn as much as he can from this world-renowned scientist and while he assisted him in various projects, he can earn a little fortune from the work at the same time.

His real purpose to visit Bulma was to get an energy measuring scouter and a gravity training room to help them with their training.

At the moment what Alex and Ethan needed most was the strength to survive in this overpowered world, where protagonists face strong enemies one after another and train hastily at the time of crisis just to use the Dragon Balls to recoup the losses later on.

He had already considered whether the Dragon Balls would work for them or not, so to avoid the worst-case scenarios Alex was trying his best to stay alive until he understands the whole situation.

As Dr. B.r.i.e.f.s and Alex were about to start with the design for scouter Bulma entered the lab and was surprised to find the guest sitting with her father.

After Alex explained his purpose to her she was excited to work on the alien technology but soon thought about something then asked anxiously,

"If you are going to help in the lab and will be staying over for a period of time then does that mean that idiot Ethan is also coming to stay over?"

"Yes, he told me he'll try to help us with testing and will be helping me with learning more about city life on this planet while I stay at the Capsule Corp. The only thing I'm worried about is him strolling around on his own."

"You are right, I'll talk to my big sister to accompany him for the time being and if I explain to her about your situation she'll willingly agree to help."

As Bulma spoke she picked up the phone to call her elder sister while Alex thought inwardly,

'I hope she doesn't turn him over to the authorities because of his actions.'

When Bulma's sister Tights heard about the two Saiyans from her sister, she immediately agreed to accompany Ethan to collect material for her new story.

"This city is filled with Greenery but Alex had to stay cooped up with that old man followed by that creepy cat. Anyways, I should enjoy the fresh air around the city now that I'm finally free from all the training."

After coming to Bulma's house Alex stayed at the lab with Dr. B.r.i.e.f.s while Ethan went out to gather more information about the place.

Ethan had borrowed some money from Krillin and took some more from Master Roshi telling him that he would look for some of the best magazines for his collection.

As he walked around the city he visited some food stalls and visited all kinds of other shops while pestering a few clerks.

When he went to have lunch in the barbecue restaurant and tried to pick up on the waitress her bulky husband and cute little daughter came out of the kitchen with knives in their hands, which might have been swapped by mistake because the daughter was holding the larger one compared to the pocket knife her father held.

After Ethan had noodle soup for lunch he continued his stroll around, when he noticed three female figures walking a few steps ahead of him. Ethan placed both of his hands on the back of his head and unintentionally started to follow them around.

After a while, the three were standing near a stall to buy some fruits when Ethan went and stood behind them and subconsciously pinched one of them on the backside as the person g.r.o.a.n.e.d with surprised.

The next moment he noticed the mistake he had made out of habit that came from his previous world and was about to apologize when he choked on his words as he looked at the masculine face that turned to look at him as the other female figures with masculine faces who wore heavy makeup also turned to look at their companion who g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

Ethan kept looking at them calmly and released a deep sigh then ran with all his might towards the Capsule Corp. After arriving in the room he shut himself inside and didn't even go out for dinner until the next morning when Bulma's sister came to accompany him as they had to go search for Goku's space pod.

After coming out of his room Ethan acted as if he never went out yesterday and was sleeping the whole day.

"So you really don't remember anything about your life on Planet Vegeta?"

"No, Saiyan kids spend most of their childhood on some unknown planet completing missions. So I only remember some superficial things like Planet Vegeta had ten times the gravity that of Earth and Saiyan spent most of their life conquering planets on Frieza's command while they spent their free time eating or training."

"Wow, that is quite an unusual way to live."

As Bulma's sister Tights and Ethan talked about Saiyans from Planet Vegeta they went towards Goku's house to get his help to find the space pod.

Goku who was fishing nearby his house agreed to help them and started guiding them around the place where he grew up. With Goku's help to lead the way, it didn't take long before they found the ship.

By the evening, Ethan and Tights had returned to Capsule Corp with the space pod which had some minor damage and surprisingly they found a scouter kept in the storage compartment.

With a sample in hand, it didn't take long for Bulma to modify the scouter and remove any unnecessary components as Alex had already warned her about the bug that Frieza had installed.

On the next day, Bulma stood with a scouter on her left eye as she started to check if it was working properly.

"I have altered some of the energy detection functions so they can now handle much higher energy fluctuations and added a communication device as you requested. Now that we have a measuring device let's check your energy levels."

Activating the scouter Bulma looked towards Ethan who insisted to know his current battle power.

"It's showing your battle power is 305 and as for Alex's battle power it shows about 320."

Listening to Bulma Ethan looked towards Alex who just smiled back at him then thinking about something his expression turned serious.

"On Planet Vegeta, the strongest Saiyan was King Vegeta who had around 10000 battle power but it was rumored that Frieza has over a million power level."

As Bulma heard what Alex said, she was shocked to the core then her expression turned grave but his next words left her dumbfounded.

"If we think about how much Frieza fears the birth of a Super Saiyan then Saiyans might be able to achieve the battle power of a few million whether through training or by transforming into a Super Saiyan.

So I think we should just keep the power differences a secret for now and try training for a year to test the Saiyan limits and speed of growth."

Thinking for a while Bulma nodded and understood the fact that rather than despairing about the situation that can't be changed, we should try to improve our means of survival and keep trying until success is achieved.
