Arriving on Earth

Vegeta was extremely worked up.

As soon as he saw Louis, he poured out all the frustrations he'd been holding inside.

He told Louis everything, from their desperate escape from Planet Vegeta to the Frieza Force preventing the three of them from returning to Galactic Headquarters.

In the end, with no other choice, he, Raditz, and Nappa had come to Earth to find help.

After hearing it all, Louis finally understood why Vegeta had come to Earth.

The correction of history really was something. Vegeta had still ended up on Earth, and was even training at the Lookout alongside Son Goku.

"Louis, Frieza destroyed our Planet Vegeta. You have to avenge us Saiyans!" Vegeta clenched his fists and shouted.

"Enough. I know what happened to Planet Vegeta. You can avenge it yourselves. I won't get involved."

Louis waved a hand.

"Didn't you become a Candidate God of Destruction? You could wipe out Frieza with a flick of your finger! Why won't you do it?" Vegeta shouted.

Back then, King Vegeta had challenged Louis in the same way. At the time, Louis had coldly refused his request.

But now...

"I could kill Frieza, but would you really be satisfied if I did it for you?" Louis asked calmly.

This time, Louis didn't coldly reject Vegeta's request.

The Saiyans had changed since joining the Galactic Patrol. Those fierce, ruthless Saiyans who had once pillaged and slaughtered had become protectors of the universe.

They were now just like the Sadala Defense Force in Universe 6.

Vegeta fell silent.

Louis asked again, "Do you still want me to do it? If you want me to, I'll go right now and avenge—"

He glanced at Vegeta and Son Goku, then continued, "I'll go right now and avenge our Saiyan race!"

"Forget it!"

For once, a smile appeared on Vegeta's usually stony face. "We'll handle it ourselves!"

Vegeta was the prince of the Saiyans, a proud warrior...

When it came to an enemy of his people, he couldn't bear to ask a Candidate God of Destruction for help. He wanted to take revenge with his own hands.

"Kakarot, will you come with me to get revenge?" Vegeta asked, looking at Son Goku, who was staring off into space.

In the past, he wouldn't have had the confidence to say this. After all, Frieza was the Emperor of the Universe.

But after coming to Earth, he had gained confidence!

Earth's training methods, and those Gravity Chambers...

And, most importantly, the man standing right before him: Son Goku!!!

"Sure. I'll go with you when the time comes."

Son Goku rubbed his head and gave a simple-minded grin.

"You idiot!"

Looking at the guileless Son Goku, Vegeta didn't know whether to be annoyed or amused.

Louis couldn't help laughing at Son Goku's personality, too.

Vegeta had changed, but Son Goku was still the same old Son Goku.

That was a good thing.

Louis suddenly asked, "When are you planning to get your revenge?"

Son Goku looked at Vegeta.

Vegeta furrowed his brow. "In another two years. In that time, Kakarot and I will definitely grow strong enough to surpass Frieza!"

"Fine. I'll be there in person to watch you take your revenge."

Louis didn't warn Vegeta about Frieza's true power.

After all!

How could they become Super Saiyans without going through some hardships?

Louis took Tights by the hand and started to leave. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Would you two like to go somewhere else and learn a couple of powerful techniques?"

"What techniques?" Son Goku asked.

"Kaioken and Spirit Bomb!"

Louis explained, "If you want to learn them, I can ask North Kai to teach you."

"Sure!" Vegeta immediately agreed. If a Candidate God of Destruction praised those techniques, they had to be special.

Son Goku smiled. "Th-then I want to learn them, too."

Though they had both agreed, Louis didn't take them to North Kai right away.

First, according to his observation, Vegeta's battle power was only 70,000, while Son Goku's was around 80,000.

Vegeta really was still the eternal second-best!

Second, they both still needed to work on their martial arts.

Especially Son Goku!

Having received Whis's instruction, Louis could tell at a glance that Son Goku's martial arts foundation was weak.

Only after Son Goku had received that person's complete tutelage would he have a chance to enter the Ultra Instinct state at the Tournament of Power in the future.

As for who that person was, Louis meant Popo.

Louis suspected that Popo might belong to the Angel race. After all, as far as everyone knew, Popo had served Earth's Guardian of Earth for a very long time.

That wasn't the only reason. Popo's mannerisms were also very much like an angel's.

Unemotional, free of desire...

When he trained the young Son Goku, he could hold his own against him!

When he trained Super Saiyans Son Goten and Trunks, he could hold his own against them, too...

In the end, Louis decided not to disturb Popo for now. He left with Tights, letting the four Saiyans continue training at the Lookout.

"Louis, what was that place we just visited?"

"It's the Lookout, like I said. It's where Earth's Guardian of Earth lives."

"Earth has a Guardian of Earth? How come I've never heard of him?"

"You're not the only one who doesn't know. Lots of people on Earth don't, either. Besides, you've been in space all this time, so you never had a chance to find out."

"That's true."

The two of them flew all the way back to West City...

Time passed quickly, and another year went by.

Louis spent the whole year at Tights's house.

Louis was handsome, and Bulma quickly took a liking to him. As for Bulma's parents, they had no objections to him, either. In fact, they thought it was for the best.

Now that Tights had a husband, he ought to be able to keep her in check.

After all, it was too dangerous for a woman to travel through space alone all the time.

Louis, however, said he would always protect Tights and let her do whatever she wanted.

Bulma didn't think Louis could protect Tights from harm in space with his slender build.

Not unless he had the kind of power Son Goku and Vegeta had!

It wasn't until Tights revealed Louis's identity and asked him to show off his abilities that Bulma changed her mind.

After Louis destroyed the planet not far from Earth, Bulma realized she had underestimated him. She'd never imagined that Louis was so high-ranking, or that he was so powerful...

Only then did the Briefs family believe Louis could take good care of Tights!
