Bulma from Another World
"The Android bomb cities every now and then, West City has been attacked by them several times. So, apart from some resistance fighters, most of the survivors have moved away from here." Trunks described the situation in West City, his voice filled with sadness.
Because of the evil Android, the whole world is in turmoil, and there is no peaceful paradise left.
"This is outrageous! They've ruined the West City like this. I'm going to teach them a lesson!" Bulla said indignantly, waving her fist.
"Don't worry, we're here now. The Android won't be arrogant for long."
Luo Fei patted Trunks on the shoulder to comfort him, his tone icy. The fact that one of the five great cities was now reduced to ruins was a sight that would upset anyone.
"Yes, the Android will get what they deserve."
Trunks' face relaxed slightly, his eyes gleaming. He continued, "I'll take you to see Mother. She's in the research lab in the basement of headquarters. We haven't let her out because we're worried the Android will find this place."
As he spoke, Trunks led the way, opening a passageway leading underground through the dilapidated building.
Luo Fei, Askari, and Bulla followed closely behind into the passage. After walking for about five or six minutes, the underground space gradually became more spacious, and a huge research room appeared before them.
"You actually dug such a big space under 'my' house!" Bulla's childish voice rang out, his round eyes looking left and right.
"This is to avoid detection by the Android. The outer shell of the research lab is made of the strongest alloy material, which can withstand the pressure of plate tectonics. This is where Mom developed the Time Machine," Trunks explained as he walked, quickly leading everyone into a spacious hall.
The hall was filled with various complex instruments and equipment, with pipes running everywhere. Some large pieces of equipment were still in operation, and pale blue droplets were dripping into containers from the other end of transparent pipes—the energy needed for the Time Machine.
"Mom, I'm home!" Trunks shouted into the room.
"Trunks, how's it going? Has the special medicine arrived?"
Hearing her son's shout, Bulma, with her long hair flowing and looking slightly tired, put down her work and came out of another laboratory. When she saw Luo Fei and Askari, she was slightly taken aback, thinking they were survivors Trunks had rescued from outside.
The boy looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the two girls were even younger, only about a meter tall, around six or seven years old. They seemed to be without parents, and I couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how difficult it was to survive in this world.
Trunks nodded. "I've already sent the antidote and told them about the Android."
Bulma's face lit up with joy, and she said happily, "That's good! Knowing about the enemy in advance means Goku and the others will definitely be able to defeat the Android."
"These kids... wait, you're Saiyan?!"
Upon seeing the tails behind Luo Fei and the others, Bulma exclaimed in surprise, "Trunks, what's going on? Are there other Saiyan on Earth?"
Trunks shook his head and said, "That's exactly what I wanted to say. The Time Machine did take me to another world, but that world isn't our world's past; it's another parallel universe. The three of them are named Luo Fei, Askari, Bulla. They are my helpers from that other world."
"Parallel worlds, huh? That's certainly possible."
Bulma paused for a moment, then nodded. Her excellent scientific literacy gave her a great capacity for understanding, and coupled with her easygoing nature, she quickly recovered.
"Tell me about the situation over there in detail." Bulma invited the group to sit down, her gaze sweeping over Luo Fei and his two companions with curiosity in her eyes.
"Okay." Trunks nodded, and then recounted what he had seen and heard in the other world.
"... The history of that other world diverged long ago, and the situation there is very different from ours. Martial arts culture flourishes there, and Goku is a highly respected martial artist because he has saved the world many times. Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo also have extremely high reputations. The place where they live is known as the Holy Land, and every martial artist dreams of going there, hoping to receive their guidance."
"By the way, I didn't hear any news about Mr. Yamcha there; it was as if he didn't even exist."
Bulma was quite surprised to hear this, and laughed, "It's not surprising that parallel worlds are a bit different. In that case, Goku and the others have achieved quite a bit! Unlike us here, they've always been unknown. Actually, with their abilities, they should have been famous long ago."
Despite possessing such great skills, they live a very low-key life. Bulma sometimes really doesn't understand the behavior of these martial artists.
"Then what about these kids? How come there are other Saiyan on Earth?"
"Mom..." Trunks hesitated for a moment, then looked at Luo Fei and the others.
"Let me explain, Auntie."
Luo Fei spoke with a smile.
"You just called me... Auntie?" Bulma had just picked up a cup of tea to drink, but upon hearing Luo Fei's address, she put the tea down again.
"Yes, my mother's name is Tights, and she's your sister."
"You're your sister's son? Then who's your father? It can't be Goku or Vegeta, can it?"
"Of course not. My father's name is Roland. He is Saiyan from Planet Sadala. He met my mother when he was traveling on Earth. This lady next to me is my sister Askari, the princess of Planet Sadala."
"So there are other Saiyan royals besides Vegeta!"
Bulma was taken aback, but quickly regained her composure.
Her older sister Tights, started traveling when she was very young, determined to write a popular science fiction novel. Although she would often come home to visit, there was never any news of her having a boyfriend! Unexpectedly, in another world, she actually got married and had children.
"Then this one..." Bulma's brows furrowed as her gaze turned to Bulla, who was blinking his eyes and looking adorable.
The name Bulla brought many thoughts to her mind.
The surname "Sun" is rare on Earth, and given that she's Saiyan, it's highly likely she's related to Goku. Could she be Goku's child? If we calculate her age based on the Time Machine, this little girl would have been born around the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. But shouldn't Goku's child be Gohan?
What went wrong?
A variety of guesses flashed through Bulma's mind in an instant. Then, looking at Bulla's light purple hair, which was almost identical to Trunks's, a somewhat absurd idea formed in her mind.
His voice stammered slightly, "Trunks, this child, could he be Goku's child with another 'me'?"
Trunks nodded, unsure how to put it, "That's right, the person who married Mr. Goku in another world was indeed you, Mom..."
"My mom's name is also Bulma," Bulla said in her soft, cute voice.
"This... this is truly unimaginable. But then again, Goku was already quite handsome when he grew up, so it's possible without Yamcha. My taste isn't bad! Bulla... that's a really good name, very much in line with our style." He murmured to himself, lost in memories.
After bringing Goku out of Mount Paozu when they were young, they traveled together to find the Dragon Ball. They were childhood sweethearts, and naturally, there were some unspeakable things that happened between them. If they hadn't met Yamcha and Chi-Chi later, something might have really happened between them.
The past cannot be changed. Bulma, being a mature woman, quickly accepted reality after a moment of surprise.
His gaze toward Bulla became full of affection.
Bulla could also be considered her daughter, though from another world.
"Trunks, how could you bring Bulla and the others here? It's too dangerous here." Bulma's tone was slightly reproachful.
The Time Machine needs three years to resupply, which means Bulla and the others must stay in this post-apocalyptic world for three years. If anything happens during this time, she will feel terrible for her other self and her sister in the other world!
"Don't blame Trunks, we came here ourselves, and we're all very capable, we're not afraid of any Android," Luo Fei said calmly.
These mere Android are probably only as strong as ordinary Super Saiyan. He and Askari are both Super Saiyan Full Power, plus Bulla, who is also Super Saiyan, so there's nothing to worry about.
"But..."
"Mom, Luo Fei and the others are all Super Saiyan. They've come here to help us eliminate the Android."
"You're saying they're all Super Saiyan?!" Bulma exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, looking at the short Bulla and Askari with disbelief, "Could Bulla and that little girl be too?"
"Yes," Trunks replied affirmatively.
Although we don't know exactly how powerful Luo Fei and his group are, they are definitely stronger than him. The Android in this world aren't very powerful; Trunks is capable of handling one on his own. With Luo Fei and his group's help, saving the world shouldn't be too difficult.
