Chapter 272: *Hidden*
Chapter 272: *Hidden*
In this world, Goku didn’t learn Instant Transmission at Planet Yardrat after attaining his Super Saiyan mode while fighting Frieza, instead he directly returned to Earth; as a result, there were now a few intact spaceships on Earth. One of which was procured when Goku returned to Earth from Planet Namek using the Ginyu Force’s spaceship and the other is the spaceship that was used by Mecha-Frieza and King Cold when they invaded Earth.
Only 16 years had passed since then, and no one knew for certain if both spaceships were destroyed amidst the Android disaster. They were like a time bomb, and they absolutely could not let Android 17 and 18 obtain them.
“We can’t sit still and wait for death. We need powerful fighters right now,” Master Roshi said as he stared eagerly at Xiaya, hoping he could provide help.
‘Mr. Xiaya is strong, and his battle with the Androids is a testimony to that. If Gohan can also help, then they may really have a chance to win. Oh right, there is also Trunks… If he can also transform into a Golden Flame Warrior, then there will be more assurance in dealing with the Androids.’
Master Roshi was carefully ruminating about this. Of course, the key role in all this would be played by the Saiyan from a different world—Xiaya.
Xiaya smiled. He saw through Master Roshi’s thoughts but did not say anything to oppose it.
Seeing Xiaya’s smile, which was a smile and yet not a smile, Master Roshi’s face turned red; however, for the safety of the planet, he didn’t care even a little about his face and pleaded with Xiaya, “I hope you can help us, Mr. Xiaya.”
“Right, right… If you help us, I will be indebted to you.” A blonde woman ran over, with a pig flusteredly chasing after her. “Launch, don’t make trouble.”
“Blonde-Launch?” Xiaya was startled.
In the original work, Blonde-Launch never appeared after the Saiyan Saga. I didn’t expect her to be staying together with Master Roshi and the others in this world…
“Oh no… This person seems to have been angered by Launch. What should I do? What should I do?” Oolong and Puar anxiously ran around in circles while holding their heads. In their opinion, Blonde-Launch was too impudent.
“Hey, do you know me?” Blonde-Launch asked curiously.
Xiaya said, “Well… In another world, I sent you to Immortal Korin to learn how to plant Senzu Beans when you were a child, and now, you help me grow them.”
“Ha? I grow Senzu Beans… for you?” Blonde-Launch pointed at herself and asked in disbelief. She had always thought of herself as a powerful and free person, but to think that she would go and grow beans for other people!
“Not you, it’s the gentle blue-haired Launch. You are too unruly,” Xiaya replied.
“You…” Blonde-haired Launch didn’t feel happy at all when she heard this. How was she unruly? But when she thought of how Xiaya was a powerful warrior from another world, her anger quickly dissipated and she smiled resentfully.
“Ok Launch, go back,” Master Roshi said. He saw that Xiaya didn’t seem to have a simple relationship with Launch, but he didn’t let Launch continue to bother them nonetheless.
Xiaya looked at Master Roshi solemnly and said, “It is unrealistic to handle both Androids with my current strength.”
Master Roshi nodded and said seriously, “What if you add Gohan and Trunks? I know that their potential is very high, but unfortunately, I can’t guide them with my knowledge. If they can get pointers from Mr. Xiaya, I think they will definitely be able to help.”
Xiaya was silent. Naturally, Gohan and Trunks have great potential. In the original work, Gohan was the first one to break through to Super Saiyan 2, and although Trunks was not as good as Gohan, he was still very outstanding.
Saiyan and Earthlings half-breeds often had great potential. Firstly, their fathers gave birth to them after they had their breakthrough. Secondly, their dissimilar bloodlines were in harmonious proportions. Unfortunately, the second generation lost their Saiyan nature because of such inheritance.
But no matter how outstanding they may be, they couldn’t possibly become Android 17 and 18’s opponent within such a short period of time. Even if they were proficient in martial arts, it would still be impossible for them to make unnatural leap in strength immediately!
At this time, he looked at Korin on the side, and suddenly, a bright light flashed in his mind and he asked, “Immortal Korin… since you are here, does that mean that Korin Tower and The Lookout have been destroyed?”
Korin shook his head after listening to Xiaya, indicating that he was not certain. “Korin Tower has already been cut in half by those Androids. As for The Lookout above, it must have also been destroyed; however, I am not certain about it. Why are you asking this Mr. Xiaya?”
“I thought of an excellent place to train. If The Lookout hasn’t been completely destroyed, it might be possible to quickly improve Gohan and Trunks’ strength.”
“What?! Is there really such a place on The Lookout that can improve their strength?” Master Roshi suddenly shouted in surprise.
“Where?” Korin frowned, deep in thought.
“Hyperbolic Time Chamber!” Xiaya slowly spat out a few words.
Korin shook his head after listening. He was only the guardian of Korin Tower. Although several Kami had been appointed over the past 800 years, he was not clear about the specific situation in The Lookout.
“But these are all based on the fact that The Lookout hasn’t been destroyed.” Xiaya wasn’t hot-headed like them. Seeing their hopeful look, he couldn’t help but splash cold water on them. “Forget it… You people should wait here. I will be right back,” Xiaya said, and then, he launched Instant Transmission and went to The Lookout.
Far away in the sky, a dimension separate from Earth…
The blue sky was as clear as a mirror. Here, the air was thin, and the atmospheric pressure was extremely low; the temperature was also lower than below. As it was located at an extremely high place, there were not many clouds around.
In the vast and spacious empty sky, a crimson hemispherical building, which had a lot of different racial characteristics, was floating in place, but it appeared to be very empty at the moment. The bright-red hemispherical-shaped building, The Lookout, was on the verge of crumbling. It’s hard marble material was covered in zigzag and winding cracks.
Xiaya’s figure appeared on The Lookout. He sighed at seeing two rows of coconut trees which had died and withered long ago.
It could be seen from The Lookout’s collapsed pillars and the torn open roof of the palace hall that an intense battle had occurred here. It was extremely ironic that the sky of The Lookout was as calm as ever, and the blue sky looked spotless; it was as if it had just experienced cleansing from the rainwater.
“But fortunately, Lookout has not been completely destroyed.”
Maybe Android 17 and 18 only thought that this was where Kami lived, so after killing Piccolo and Mr. Popo, they didn’t care too much about the buildings here.
Slightly relieved, Xiaya moved the stone pillars, which had collapsed horizontally at the entrance of The Lookout, away and familiarly walked down along the winding corridor, before quickly arriving in front of a golden gate. Although there were some cracks on it, it didn’t affect the environment inside.
After roughly inspecting the condition of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Xiaya nodded his head and once again used Instant Transmission to return to the island where the others stayed.
“How was it?” Seeing that Xiaya had come back, Master Roshi and the others hurriedly surrounded him.
Xiaya lightly smiled and gave them a surprising answer, “The Lookout has not been seriously damaged. We can still train inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.”
“Really? That’s great!”
Not only Master Roshi and Korin, but even Gohan and Trunks were also happy. Hence, they were itching to quickly go to The Lookout.
“You should go. I will stay behind with Chi-Chi to look after this place, and also study Dr Tokunoshin Omori’s data,” At this time, Bulma said that she wasn’t going. She was just a scientist, and she didn’t understand anything about martial arts.
“Then I will also stay behind.” Blonde-Launch and Videl also decided to stay behind.
Xiaya glanced at them and said to Master Roshi, Korin, Gohan and Trunks, “Then let’s go! Grab my hand.”
After explaining the key points, Xiaya soon left with Gohan and others using Instant Transmission, appearing on The Lookout thousands of miles away.
