Return to the Original Time and Space

"More than ten days have passed, Android 18, do you feel bored? Although this planet is beautiful and its technology is highly advanced, I always feel like something is missing. Should we head back?"

Android 18 replied, "It is a bit dull, actually. Let's go; staying here is truly boring. Besides, I've been missing Android 17."

"What? Is Android 17 more important than me? You miss him so much after just a few dozen days? So, in your heart, your boyfriend doesn't even compare to your brother? Waaah," Wei Dong said with a playful, mischievous grin.

Android 18 gave him a look of utter disdain. "Why are you so childish? You really have to bring something like that up? I'm honestly speechless."

"Alright then, let's go home, Android 18."

Instant Transmission... I can't sense any ki.

"System, how are we supposed to get home?" "Answering Host: The rift in the different dimension has vanished. You must use a shuttle or some other means related to traversal and crossing."

"System, why do you sound so convoluted? Can't you just use System Coins? Stop dragging your feet."

"Understood, Host. A total of 50 System Coins have been deducted to teleport you to Earth."

"Wait—" Before Wei Dong could finish, they arrived on Earth. "Damn it, why is it so expensive? My System Coin balance is practically zero now!"

"System, I need an explanation for why it cost so much." "Because that space was a different dimension, located extremely far from our current one."

"Forget it. After all, the System Coins were given by the System in the first place."

"It seems like Majin Buu will appear in a little over six years. I must train to reach Super Saiyan 3."

"By the way, System, if I can't reach Super Saiyan 3, can I transform into a Super Saiyan 4 instead?"

"Answering Host: Yes, that does not affect anything. However, Super Saiyan 4 requires a massive amount of base battle power. Your current battle power is insufficient for the transformation. Furthermore, you cannot control the Great Ape form; you must first master the ordinary Great Ape state before you can progress further."

"Damn, that's tough. Forget it, I'll just keep training. I have to reach the Super Saiyan 3 stage first."

"Come to think of it, if I overcome the Great Ape form within these next six years and keep training my base state, couldn't I just skip Super Saiyan 3?"

"Although Vegeta skipped it in GT, he used a machine to achieve it. Bulma shouldn't be able to build that in this world, since she hasn't seen it before."

"Oh, right. System, how do I transform into a Super Saiyan 3?"

"Answering Host: Like a Super Saiyan, it requires base battle power and rage, among other things. However, your body's current condition is not optimal. It would be best to get plenty of rest before resuming training."

"Damn it, is the System saying I'm not up to the task? But it's true—ever since I got with Android 18, my body really has been getting weaker. Young man, you need to show some restraint; don't be so eager to put out the fire."

"Hey, Android 18, why don't you go find Android 17 and the others? I have some things to take care of."

Upon hearing this, Android 18 scoffed, "Men. As soon as we return to this world, you're already impatient to go find other women. You say I'm the only one, but the moment you're back on Earth, you go looking for others. I get it—once you've got me, you're bored, and now you feel like things aren't as good as they were with someone else."

With that, she walked away in a huff.

"Uh, it's a misunderstanding... forget it. She's gone anyway. Since I've already obtained her and experienced it, she's mine now. Never mind that; I need to focus on training. Oh, right, I should pay a visit to the Namekian planet first. It's been a long time since I've seen Piccolo and Biro. As for why I call him Biro, it's because his talent is quite monstrous—well, monstrous for a Namekian, at least. Compared to Broly, the gap is still massive."

"Oh, right, what about Broly in this world? Is it the Broly from the new movie? Otherwise, according to this plot, Broly should have appeared long ago."

"I don't really want to deal with Broly, as my current strength is nowhere near enough. Broly might just wipe me out instantly. After all, Broly's talent and growth rate are fucking ridiculous. I only know Super Saiyan 2 right now; going there would just be like throwing myself into the fire."

"For now, I'll just head to the Namekian planet to see what Biro and Piccolo are up to and why they haven't returned to Earth. I could let it slide if it were just Biro, but Piccolo isn't coming back either. Could they have been bewitched?"
