Returning to Base

"Oops, I overdid it." Caulifla muttered to herself, then changed back from Super Saiyan to her normal state.

"Big Sis, that was amazing!"

Kale could barely contain herself. She flew over at once and stared in awe at the enormous marks left by the battle.

"It was nothing." Caulifla stood with her hands on her hips, speaking casually.

"I never expected Frost to have such a powerful form hidden away. Before this, I only knew about his Assault Form. And Miss Caulifla is even more incredible—Super Saiyan! How did you do it?"

Cabba had also hurried over from a distance.

"I only just found out that Saiyans could transform," Caulifla said. Then she turned to Sun Wumian and struggled to say, "Thank you."

"Heh." Sun Wumian nearly laughed out loud. Then again, given her personality, she probably didn't thank people very often.

"Tsk... What are you laughing at?"

"Uh, if you're only thanking me because you feel obligated, then don't bother."

"Whatever. Speaking of which, how did you know that Saiyans could transform? I've never heard of anything like that." Caulifla voiced her confusion.

"Well, it's a long story, so I'll keep it short. I came here from Universe 7. The Saiyans there can transform into Super Saiyans, though they can't do it yet. Miss Caulifla is the first person ever to achieve it."

"That's strange. You say the Saiyans from Universe 7 can't transform, so how do you know about it?" Cabba asked, puzzled.

"It's just a legend."

"Is that so? I get the feeling there's more to it than that." Caulifla stared at Sun Wumian, deep in thought.

"Oh, right. There's one more problem. You punched Frost into outer space, so we can't tell if he's dead. What should we do? What if he's still alive?" Cabba suddenly said, remembering something.

Sun Wumian rubbed his nose and smiled faintly. "That's easy. I'll be right back."

With that, he took off using the Flight Technique and followed the path Frost had been sent flying along, leaving Planet Sadala.

"Hm? There's nothing here. Could he really have been blown to smithereens?"

He searched outer space for a while but couldn't find Frost. All he saw were countless stars and all kinds of galaxies.

"Strange. He shouldn't have been completely obliterated. Whatever, I'll head back for now."

"Hey, are you even a Saiyan? I've never heard of Saiyans being able to survive in outer space." Caulifla stared wide-eyed in astonishment as Sun Wumian flew out of Planet Sadala, circled around in space, and returned.

Kale and Cabba nodded, equally curious.

"That's my special ability. Don't try to imitate me."

"Hmph, fine, keep your secrets. Kale, get me some water. I've been fighting for ages, and my throat's so dry."

"Big Sis, I... I didn't bring any water."

"You didn't? Never mind, let's head back to the Royal City. Cabba, when does the second half of the banquet start?"

"I-it should have started already." Faced with Caulifla like this, Cabba didn't even dare speak loudly.

The four of them flew at high speed toward the Royal City.

"Mr. Sun Wumian, I want to transform into a Super Saiyan too. I wonder what I need to do. Is there some special trick? Could you teach me?" On the way back, Cabba turned to Sun Wumian and asked.

"Ask me? I'll tell you. It's easy—just go 'duang~'!" Caulifla, who had been flying ahead, slowed down and chimed in.

"'Dong' and 'bang'? What does that mean? I don't understand at all." Cabba was completely baffled by her answer.

"Haha, don't listen to her. Your strength is about the same as mine right now. We need to double our battle power through training before we can become Super Saiyans."

"That makes sense. I'm not as talented as Miss Caulifla. I guess I was being too optimistic."

"By the way, speaking of training, Cabba, have you heard of a Gravity Chamber? Could you get someone to build one? If we train under greater gravity, we'll get twice the results with half the effort."

Sun Wumian suddenly remembered the Gravity Chamber training method.

"A Gravity Chamber? What's that? I've never heard of it." Cabba shook his head in confusion.

It seemed only people like Bulma and her father could build something like a Gravity Chamber.

"In that case, the only way to get stronger is to spar. Cabba, if you want to transform, come find me at Caulifla's place. The two of us can fight and get stronger quickly."

"Okay!"

"Phew, I'm full. Eating after exercising somehow makes all this food taste much better than it normally would." Sun Wumian set down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at the wreckage covering the table, and let out a long breath.

Caulifla and the others were still working their way through the food. Calling the Saiyans, a warrior race, a race of hearty eaters wouldn't have been an exaggeration.

The three of them finally stopped when there was no room left for the empty bowls on the table.

"Everyone, was the food to your liking? The Queen would like to see you." A Saiyan woman walked over and spoke to the four of them.

"I'm not going. Tell her we're too busy to see her." Caulifla raised an eyebrow at this.

"But..."

"My dear little sister, I knew you'd say that, so I came in person." A voice came from outside. Sun Wumian turned to look and saw Queen of Sadala.

"Caulifla, don't you think you've caused enough trouble?" She walked up to them and spoke.

"Hmph, we don't see eye to eye. You can be queen, and I'll do what I want. You don't need to interfere." Caulifla stood up, hands on her hips, and snorted.

"Is that so? In that case, after all these years, it's time for us to fight again."

"Haha, what a joke. You only barely beat me five years ago. Now, let me show you the power of a Super Saiyan!"

Caulifla laughed loudly, then gave a low shout. Her hair shot upward and turned gold as she transformed into a Super Saiyan.

If she hadn't kept her energy from spreading, the entire Royal City might have been wrecked. Even so, the bowls, chopsticks, and table around her were shattered.

"Now you have nothing to say, right? If there's nothing else, we're leaving."

"Let's go!" In the next instant, Caulifla, Kale, and Sun Wumian appeared above the Royal City, then vanished in a streak of light.

"Super Saiyan? The ancient texts were telling the truth." Queen of Sadala stood dazed for a moment and murmured to herself. Then she turned and left as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, Miss Caulifla, wait for us! Why are you flying so fast?"

"Oh." Caulifla changed back to her normal state.

Sun Wumian planned to stay on Planet Sadala for another year, until Cabba and Kale could also transform into Super Saiyans. Most importantly, he wanted to see Kale transform—the legendary Saiyan.

Then he would complete his Check-in and go to Namek to find the Dragon Balls and return to Universe 7.
