I Gaze Upon the Moon

"Flame Fist!"

Lana seemed to be standing in a sea of fire; the scorching energy fluctuations made everyone present feel a wave of heat.

This technique was somewhat similar to the compressed energy of the Kamehameha, but Lana used her hands and feet as conduits to focus all her energy. This made the concentration of combat power relatively easier, and its destructive force was three times that of her normal state.

"Little Wolfy, if you have any last words, say them quickly, or you won't have the chance later!"

Lana's voice was sweet, but to Sun Yu and Ace, it sounded bone-chilling. Lana raised her fists, which were wreathed in scalding heat, and with a slight push from her feet, she lunged forward. Poor Ace didn't even have a chance to react before he was sent flying by a single punch.

Ace's massive wolf body tumbled through the air several times. Just as he finally managed to stabilize himself, he felt a trace of heat behind him.

Oh no! He immediately turned his wolf head in terror. Sure enough, Lana had already arrived behind him. With a whoosh, Lana landed a Flame Kick squarely on Ace's abdomen. The searing burn made tears well up in his eyes. As his body plummeted, he tragically discovered that Lana had already moved to the ground, standing with both hands ready in an attack stance, just waiting for him to fall!

"Awoo..."

A series of mournful wolf howls echoed out. Ace was being beaten to a pulp by Lana. Sun Yu quickly covered Bulma's eyes; this bloody scene was truly not suitable for children!

Sun Yu had begun to wonder if bringing Lana to Earth for training was the right decision. At this moment, he even started to sympathize with the wolf-man named Ace. If heaven blessed Ace and he managed to survive today, he would likely be left with lifelong psychological trauma.

Speaking of which, many middle school math teachers would probably ask: what is the area of this wolf-man's psychological shadow right now?

"Hey... Sister Na, that's enough. If you keep hitting him like this, this guy is going to die!"

Sun Yu shouted at Lana. It wasn't that Sun Yu was soft-hearted; he was counting on keeping a live specimen to ask why this wolf-man was so powerful. After all, anything that could still breathe under Lana's storm of blows was definitely not a normal creature, or at least, not one from Earth.

"Kael, how about we have roasted wolf today..."

Halfway through her sentence, Lana suddenly stopped, her expression blank. The flames around her dissipated instantly, and her previously raised hands dropped limply to her sides.

"Sister Na?" Sun Yu was stunned by the sight, but he seemed to realize something. He asked Bulma, who was in his arms, "Bulma, help me look at the sky. Is there a full moon?"

Hearing Sun Yu's words, Bulma nodded obediently, looked up, and pointed a finger behind Sun Yu, saying, "Yes, there is a full moon right behind Brother Sun Yu! Why did you suddenly ask that, Brother Sun Yu?"

Oh no! Sun Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Because he had been having too much fun today, he had lost track of time, and as luck would have it, today was the night of the full moon!

The full moon is when a Saiyan unleashes their true nature. When they see the full moon, a Saiyan's tail receives the Blutz Waves emitted by the moon, causing them to transform into a Great Ape. After transforming into a Great Ape, their power increases tenfold compared to their normal state, but they lose their sanity. In the Dragon Ball anime, only Vegeta could maintain his original consciousness after transforming into a Great Ape. Therefore, if nothing went wrong, both Lana and Sun Yu were the type who could not control their original sanity after transforming.

"Damn it, I can't let Sister Na transform here!" Sun Yu didn't have time to say more; he immediately jumped off the building, attempting to sever her tail before Lana fully transformed into a Great Ape.

But he was one step too late. Just as Sun Yu flew out, Lana's body began to grow, and even her clothes were shredded right in front of him.

"Pi... pink!" Sun Yu accidentally saw something he shouldn't have. He truly hadn't expected a Saiyan girl as tough as Lana to choose such a girly color.

But this was clearly not the time to focus on that! Sun Yu shook his head and, acting on the principle of "don't look at what is improper," turned and flew toward Lana's back.

Perhaps because she had been caught staring by Sun Yu, Lana, while in the process of transforming, actually showed a hint of annoyance. She angrily swiped a palm at Sun Yu.

"Waaah!" Sun Yu was caught completely off guard. He had only been thinking about cutting off Lana's tail, not expecting a palm to strike from behind. Lana's maximum combat power in her normal state was 120,000; with the tenfold increase from the Great Ape transformation, that palm—carrying over a million in combat power—slammed into Sun Yu. He felt the world spinning and nearly couldn't catch his breath.

"I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead..." Sun Yu felt that many of his bones were broken. Fortunately, he always carried a few *Senzu Bean*s with him, and he quickly ate one to save his life.

He didn't dare look at the sky rashly. After carefully climbing up, he saw two massive figures appearing in his vision.

Sun Yu rubbed his eyes hard. After confirming multiple times that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, he finally saw the two giant figures that had suddenly appeared.

The one closer to him was Lana in her Great Ape form. Sun Yu was all too familiar with that brown fur and the massive ape physique, but what the hell was the other one!

The other giant beast, further away, was crouching on the ground, appearing to be in great pain. However, this posture didn't last long. Soon, Sun Yu saw it suddenly lift its head and let out a loud, long howl toward the full moon.

"Awoo..."

It was the wolf-man Ace!

Suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through his mind, Sun Yu realized that the phonetic sound of "Ace" was the English letter "X"!

Could it be "Project X"? Sun Yu suddenly remembered the documents he had seen in the Red Ribbon Army's underground archives that day. The so-called "Project X" was a super android developed through DNA grafting technology combined with bioengineering. If that were the case, the grafted DNA fragments must have been taken from Sun Yu's own cell samples. This explained why Ace also transformed into a giant beast after seeing the full moon.

"So that's it, so that's it... So you are also an android, or rather, an 'android wolf'!"

After figuring out the truth, Sun Yu found it incredible. However, based on the current situation, Dr. Gero had not yet developed the infinite energy device, like the ones used in the androids in the original Dragon Ball. Assuming Ace was equipped with an infinite energy device, Sun Yu wouldn't be his match unless he could transform into the peak of a Super Saiyan 1.

I really wonder if cutting off Ace's wolf tail would make him revert to his original human form!
