Meeting Future Android 17 and 18 Again

"Do you see the location of this Dragon Ball?" Kaiyen casually pointed at another Dragon Ball in a different direction, gradually zooming in on the map and giving him its exact location.

Broly scratched his head, then nodded.

"Memorize the location of this Dragon Ball. This time, you won't be taking the Dragon Radar. Can you find it?" Kaiyen asked.

Holding the Dragon Radar, Broly studied it carefully, committing the map and direction to memory.

About ten seconds later.

"I remembered it," Broly replied.

"Go on, then. If you come back early, you can make it in time for lunch." Kaiyen smiled and hung the camera around his neck.

Kaiyen mainly wanted to see what Broly would experience.

If there were no problems, he would help Broly gain the ability to survive in outer space.

It would open the door to further cultivating his God of Destruction.

"Food!" Broly's eyes lit up. He immediately shot into the air and sped toward the distant Dragon Ball.

Just after Broly left, Bulma came out of the room and saw the three Dragon Balls laid out on the table.

Two of the Dragon Balls had been found by Broly, while the other was the Two-Star Dragon Ball from Bulma's warehouse.

"Kaiyen, did Broly come back just now?" Bulma asked in surprise.

"He did." Kaiyen nodded.

"He found two Dragon Balls that quickly?" Bulma blinked her large eyes, stepped forward, picked up the two Dragon Balls, inspected them closely, and gave a serious assessment. "Mm, they're real."

Kaiyen: "..."

"Did you need something?" Kaiyen asked.

"As agreed, I'm lending you to Emily tomorrow," Bulma answered.

Kaiyen wiped away sweat speechlessly.

"Let me make this clear first: you're not allowed to let her play with your tail!" Bulma pouted as she warned him.

"We'll see..." Kaiyen neither refused nor agreed.

What do you take me for?

I'm going to be the greatest god in the future.

And you're lending me out for your little best friend to play with?

"I'm going to look for Dragon Balls." Kaiyen took the Dragon Radar and flew into the air, no longer wanting to talk to Bulma.

Girls these days are really something.

She's so young, yet she's already lending her boyfriend around?

Who knows what she'll think when she grows up?

"Hey, take me with you!" Bulma shouted from below.

Kaiyen ignored her and increased his speed, soon vanishing from sight.

Following the Dragon Radar's guidance, Kaiyen quickly arrived directly above the location of a Dragon Ball.

Looking down, Kaiyen suddenly felt as though he had been to this city before.

Wasn't this the outskirts of East Capital, where his Spaceship had landed when he first arrived on Earth?

So the Dragon Ball was here.

Kaiyen discovered that the Dragon Ball was stored in a distinctive little house with its own small yard of roughly ten square meters.

In the yard, a little boy was playing with a punching bag.

The boy looked five or six years old, with short black hair, delicate features, and eyes that carried a hint of fierceness.

Kaiyen had seen him yesterday. His name was Lapis.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lapis would be modified by Dr. Gero into Android 17 in the future.

Kaiyen looked toward the room again and saw Lazuli sitting at a desk by the window, biting her lower lip as she wrote furiously.

Mm, she was doing homework.

Poor future Android 18. Was there already so much homework in first grade?

Not only did she have to finish her own homework, she also had to help her younger brother with his.

Was the Dragon Ball world this competitive?

The two children's parents were not home. They had probably gone out to attend to something else.

Kaiyen guessed that Lazuli and Lapis's father was probably a member of the Red Ribbon Army, and not in a low position either—at the very least, something like a Deputy General.

After all, Lazuli's family looked fairly wealthy.

Besides, Dr. Gero would not have casually chosen just any pair of siblings for his research.

As for that Dragon Ball, according to the Dragon Radar, it was inside Lazuli's home.

Kaiyen slowly descended from the sky and appeared beside Lapis.

"An alien? It's you?" Lapis recognized Kaiyen at a glance.

"Practicing your punches here?" Kaiyen asked with a smile.

"Of course. I'm going to become the strongest man!" Lapis's childish face was full of pride and confidence.

"Have you finished your homework?" Kaiyen scolded him.

Lapis instantly felt stabbed in the heart.

"Y-You mind your own business!" Lapis glared at Kaiyen angrily.

"Homework is a pain that breathes, living in everyone's mind. First grade is only 1+1=2..." Kaiyen said wistfully. "Once you get to middle school and high school, you'll learn there are even harder problems to give you headaches. It hurts when you can't solve them, and it hurts just looking at them."

Lapis: "..."

"Y-You're talking nonsense!" Lapis panicked.

"How's your training going?" Kaiyen asked with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm amazing." As Lapis spoke, he stepped forward and punched the sandbag. Somewhat proudly, he said, "Well? Alien! That punch was powerful, right? Don't let the fact that I'm only six fool you. Even adults can barely take a punch from me."

"Oh?" Kaiyen calmly walked over and lightly tapped the sandbag with a finger.

Crash...

The sandbag shattered on the spot, spilling sand all over the ground.

Lapis was stunned. He froze where he stood, his eyes wide with utter disbelief.

"We aliens have it really rough. We never trained with sandbags when we were young. We punched hard rocks instead." Kaiyen walked over and patted Lapis on the shoulder.

Lapis stood there dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

As they spoke, Lazuli stepped out of the room.

Only six years old, Lazuli already wore the same cold expression as the future Android 18.

Her blond hair was tied into a ponytail, which swayed back and forth as she walked.

"An alien?" Lazuli quickly recognized Kaiyen as well.

"My name is Kaiyen," Kaiyen said with a smile.

"You're terrible! Do you know that after you left, my mom gave my brother and me a really hard beating!" Lazuli pouted and said angrily to Kaiyen. "But if you're willing to take my brother and me for a ride in your Spaceship, I can choose to forgive you."

"Do you have a ball like this in your house?" Kaiyen raised a hand, gathering a glowing sphere shaped like a Dragon Ball in his palm.

The siblings exchanged a glance.

"That thing seems to be in Mom's jewelry box." Lazuli blinked and muttered quietly.

"I've seen it too." Lapis nodded.

"Give me that thing, and I can find time to take you two to an alien planet for fun," Kaiyen said with a smile.

"I'll get it!" Lapis immediately dashed into the room. After rummaging around for quite a while, he finally found the Dragon Ball and was about to hand it to Kaiyen.
