Earth, Here I Come

The appearance of the spaceship left the family of Bulma feeling a bit startled.

Because the ship had already flown over their home once before.

Now, it had turned back around.

"Daddy, are those aliens?" Bulma asked her father, Dr. Briefs.

"It certainly seems so." Dr. Briefs adjusted his glasses.

"What would aliens want at our house?" Bikini, Bulma's mother, watched the advanced spacecraft with curiosity.

"I don't know, let's just hope there's no danger..." Dr. Briefs said.

"Clack, clack, clack!"

Bulma quickly ran into the room and brought out the laser gun she had just finished building.

"Bulma, it's alright. Daddy is here, and Daddy will protect you all," Dr. Briefs said. "Besides, alien life shouldn't be unreasonable. If they've come to find us, they must have a reason—perhaps they're just here for a visit."

"Better safe than sorry; this gun of mine packs quite a punch," Bulma nodded.

"Creak..."

The spaceship's hatch opened.

Vegeta in the lead, Lu Fan following behind, they stepped down from the ship.

"Aliens?" Bulma paused. "What the—they don't look any different from us, and they're so short."

Dr. Briefs remained silent.

"Hmph, so this is Earth? The environment isn't half bad." Vegeta looked around, gave a faint smile, and glanced at the three people in the distance.

"Greetings, we come from the distant Planet Vegeta. My name is Lu Fan, and this is Vegeta," Lu Fan stepped forward and introduced them to Bulma's family with polite manners.

"Tch!" Vegeta snorted, his face full of disdain.

What was there to talk about with Earthlings?

Lu Fan, you really are pathetic.

"They really are aliens, they look just like us Earthlings, just a bit shorter," Bulma said, fearless as a newborn calf.

"We're only short because we're still young," Lu Fan smiled.

"Oh? You're young? How old are you?" Bulma asked curiously.

"Five," Lu Fan held up five fingers.

"I'm five too! That means we're the same age," Bulma said quickly.

"My, my, how impressive. Aliens coming to another planet at only five years old," Dr. Briefs marveled. "Are you here for a vacation?"

"Hmph, vacation? How childish. We're here to conquer this planet," Vegeta snorted from the side.

"Whack!"

Lu Fan couldn't help himself; in a flash of movement, he slapped Vegeta across the back of the neck.

Vegeta didn't even have time to react before he was struck.

Vegeta collapsed limply to the ground, knocked out cold.

The moment Vegeta lost consciousness, he suddenly thought...

Damn it!

Didn't I say I was going to give this kid a good beating as soon as we landed?

And yet, this guy snuck up on me again.

How hateful.

I completely forgot about such an important thing.

You just wait, see how I deal with you when I wake up.

"He's just joking, please don't take it seriously," Lu Fan smiled.

"Coming to conquer our Earth at only five years old? How childish!" Bulma huffed, shaking the laser gun in her hand. "My gun here is very powerful, you know."

"He is the prince of our planet; perhaps the journey was too exhausting. I hope you don't mind," Lu Fan quickly explained.

"A prince? You're saying he's the prince of your planet?" Bulma wiped sweat from her brow. "I feel like if your prince is really like this, your planet is probably doomed..."

"You're right. Our race does have some major issues; it's very likely that in the future, only a very small number of us will remain," Lu Fan nodded.

"You're actually quite easy to talk to," Bulma laughed, her guard relaxing as she asked casually, "He's the prince, so what about you?"

"I am His Highness's sparring partner," Lu Fan replied.

"A sparring partner?" Bulma was slightly taken aback.

"In other words, a lackey," Lu Fan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

Bulma: "..."

Dr. Briefs: "..."

Bikini: "..."

The three members of the Briefs family were speechless.

Are you a subordinate?

And a subordinate who just knocked his own prince unconscious in one go?

This is the first time we've ever seen a subordinate take charge like this.

"What did you come here for? Are you really here for sightseeing?" Dr. Briefs asked again. "If you're here to travel, I can be your guide. I'm quite familiar with this planet."

"Where is your warehouse?" Lu Fan asked directly.

"Warehouse?" Dr. Briefs was stunned for two seconds.

Your change of pace is a bit fast.

Why are you suddenly asking where my warehouse is?

What do you want with the warehouse?

However, Dr. Briefs didn't ask why; he simply pointed toward a warehouse not far away.

"Wait here." Lu Fan strode toward the direction of the warehouse.

"Creak!"

Lu Fan pushed open the warehouse doors.

Bulma followed behind, full of curiosity.

What are you doing in our warehouse?

Even though the things inside are old and useless, they are still my family's belongings.

"Snap!"

Lu Fan released an invisible energy from his hand.

Suddenly, all the items inside the warehouse began to float in mid-air.

Bulma, standing behind Lu Fan, widened her eyes in shock.

With ease, Lu Fan located the Dragon Ball among the floating objects.

It was a Two-Star Dragon Ball.

"Found it." Lu Fan reached out and grabbed at the air toward the Dragon Ball.

"Whoosh!"

The Dragon Ball flew through the air and landed right in Lu Fan's hand.

"Hey? Do you have psychic powers?" Bulma immediately snapped back to reality.

"I wouldn't call it psychic power; it's just a form of energy control," Lu Fan said with a smile.

"That's amazing..." Bulma wore an expression of pure admiration.

After obtaining the Dragon Ball, Lu Fan walked up to Dr. Briefs.

"Doctor, I know you are the greatest scientist on this planet," Lu Fan said.

"Hahaha... you're making me blush..." Dr. Briefs was overjoyed.

You really know how to tell the truth.

Aliens are so sincere.

"But you're right, I am indeed the most outstanding and greatest scientist on this planet." Dr. Briefs adjusted his glasses, his expression turning serious.

"This object in my hand is called a Dragon Ball. There are seven in total, scattered across the world. Can you help me build a Dragon Radar?" Lu Fan stated his purpose.

Lu Fan had come to Earth specifically to search for the Dragon Balls.

On the way here, he had already explained this to Vegeta.

The greatest weakness of a Saiyan is the inability to survive in the vacuum of space.

No matter how strong you are, if someone destroys the planet you live on, you won't be able to escape.

Therefore, Lu Fan wanted to use Shenron to grant himself the ability to survive in outer space.
