A few days later.

Gogito was in the forest chopping down trees—yes, you read that right, chopping down trees—while simultaneously training his control over his ki. Gogito had cleared out all the surrounding trees, leaving the area looking barren, but his control over his power was becoming increasingly refined.

Half a month later.

Two yellow streaks moved at high speed through the sky, invisible to the eyes of ordinary people. The pair fought from the heavens to the earth, and from the earth into the sea. Suddenly, one of them leaped high into the air, gathering massive energy, while the other, refusing to be outdone, gathered an equally terrifying amount of power.

"Ka~me~ha~me~"

"Fi~nal~ Flash!"

The blue and gold energy waves collided, instantly triggering a massive shockwave. The surrounding hills collapsed as the two immense energies stalemated in the air, neither able to overcome the other.

"Hmph!"

"Hah!"

Both simultaneously increased their energy output, detonating the massive power. The entire planet trembled; countless birds fled the forests, fish leaped from the sea, and unstable mountain peaks crumbled.

As the smoke cleared, a massive crater lay in the ground, a sight that would take one's breath away. The two figures panted in the air. After a moment, they moved toward each other, and as they touched, a golden light erupted, merging them back into one person.

As it turned out, a few days ago, Gogito had wondered if he could train more effectively by splitting into a clone to spar with himself, which led to the scene that just unfolded.

Gogito looked at the massive crater and remarked, "Just using a fraction of my Super Saiyan power caused this much destruction. Indeed, even the power of Vegito from the Z era is absurdly strong."

In truth, one couldn't blame Gogito. In the anime, Vegito could easily toy with Buu-Gohan in his base form, and transforming into a Super Saiyan made him even more formidable. He had been holding back significantly; if he hadn't been trying to save those absorbed by Buu, he could have finished the fight in a single move.

Gogito had now basically mastered his own power, though he hadn't used Super Saiyan 2 or 3 as they were too powerful. He believed that at this stage, no one could force him to use his full strength.

Gogito tidied himself up, took a bath, and caught a dinosaur to serve as dinner.

Returning to the wooden hut he had built while chopping trees, Gogito prepared the dinosaur and roasted it over a fire.

Suddenly, Gogito sensed a weak, almost negligible energy signature slowly approaching. He stood up to investigate. Normally, no animals would approach his dwelling; he had been here for a while, and the local creatures weren't stupid—they knew to stay away from this terrifying individual.

Gogito flew into the sky and spotted the fearless intruder from a distance. He flew over and realized, to his shock, that it was a human. Considering that the humans on this planet had long since gone extinct due to internal strife and the threat of dinosaurs, finding one here was impossible.

Gogito looked at the person and felt a sense of familiarity: long golden hair, a small red short-sleeved shirt, and a pair of jeans. She was youthful and beautiful.

Holy crap, isn't this Bulma's sister Tights? How did she end up here? Gogito recognized her and his jaw nearly hit the floor.

Tights was holding a strange gun, creeping toward Gogito's cabin. Suddenly, a voice rang out beside her ear.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing with that gun?"

Tights jumped in fright, spinning around to aim her weapon at Gogito.

"Whoa, whoa, that thing won't work on me." Gogito waved his hand dismissively. He reached out to greet her, but Tights opened fire. Gogito crushed the laser blast with one hand, shook his head, and said, "I told you, that thing is useless against me. If I wanted to harm you, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me?"

Tights thought about it and realized he was right. This man had appeared behind her instantly; if he wanted her dead, she would have had no way to fight back. She lowered her gun and said, "I was passing by this planet, but I ran out of supplies, so I landed to restock. According to the data Jaco gave me, the humans here should be extinct, but I saw smoke in the distance and came to investigate."

So that was it.

"My ship was damaged, so I was forced to land on this planet," Gogito lied slightly.

"Come on, let's go to where I'm staying. The dinosaurs on this planet are quite fierce, and that gun of yours won't do anything to them. It'll be safer if you stick with me," Gogito said to Tights.

Tights didn't argue; it seemed she had already encountered those dinosaurs.

The weakest of those dinosaurs had a power level of several hundred, while the strongest reached several thousand. Even in his original state, he could barely kill the weakest ones, and he would have to run if he encountered anything stronger.

Gogito led the way, and Tights followed. They arrived shortly, and Tights looked at the mountain of dinosaur meat, exclaiming, "Are you really that strong? You can even handle such powerful dinosaurs?"

Only then did she notice that the man before her was incredibly handsome. The slight smirk on his lips and the aura he inadvertently exuded were so striking that she was momentarily dazed.

"Of course, otherwise how would I survive here? I would have been eaten as a dessert by these dinosaurs long ago." As he spoke, Gogito took a smaller piece of roasted meat and handed it to Tights.

Seeing Tights didn't react, Gogito waved the meat in front of her eyes.

"Hey, earth to you."

Tights blushed slightly, took the meat, and began to eat.

Gogito didn't notice; his attention was entirely on his own food as he tore into the roasted meat.

"I'm Gogito, a Saiyan. What's your name?" Although Gogito knew who Tights was, he pretended not to.

"I'm Tights, just an ordinary human," she introduced herself.

"You dare to travel the universe all by yourself? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Gogito asked.

"I'm a writer. I'm exploring to find inspiration; you can't create good work if you stay in one place forever. Besides, I have weapons Bulma built for me, and I have connections with the Galactic Patrol. I only explore within the galaxy, so I generally don't run into danger."

Gogito thought about it and realized that made sense. Frieza didn't even bother looking at this backwater corner of the galaxy, which showed just how insignificant it was.

Tights took out a box of capsules, pressed one, and tossed it aside. After a puff of smoke, a refrigerator appeared. She took out a few drinks and tossed one to Gogito. He caught it and took a sip—it was a sweet, refreshing fruit juice. Not bad.

"Aren't you afraid I might have poisoned this?"

"I'm confident I could kill you and take you down with me before I died. Besides, most poisons don't work on me." As if. The moment any toxin entered his body, Gogito would sense it and simply use his ki to force it out. It was impossible to poison him.

Tights didn't know how to respond, so she could only shut her mouth and eat the meat in her hands.

After eating and drinking her fill, Tights took out another capsule and tossed it onto the ground, instantly manifesting a spaceship. As she opened the Space Gate and stepped inside, she didn't forget to look back and say, "I'm warning you, don't you dare try anything funny. I have a secret weapon given to me by Bulma."

It had to be said that Tights was quite well-endowed; she was slender where she needed to be and curvy where it counted, a classic beauty by any standard.

An average man would have turned into a wolf on the spot, but Gogito was a different breed—a model youth from the modern era—so how could he ever do such a thing?
