Targeting Instant Transmission

Aboard Yardrat, a massive white spaceship flew toward the planet.

Many Yardratians saw it and gazed curiously up at the sky.

They sensed no evil energy from the ship, so they weren't especially tense. Its passengers were probably guests, not enemies.

A Yardratian dressed in unusual clothing stood at the highest point, watching the approaching ship with a grave expression.

Though he sensed no evil energy, he could tell that everyone aboard was incredibly powerful—powerful enough to surpass the emperor of the universe, Frieza.

As the Grand Elder, he had to be cautious.

The spaceship descended slowly. Under the curious gazes of everyone around, its hatch opened, and a man with a crab-shaped head jumped out.

"Wahaha, we're finally here!"

Seeing all the strange-looking people staring at him, Sun Wukong greeted them with easy familiarity.

"Hi, everyone!"

His friendly manner made the crowd even more excited. They chatted among themselves, then eagerly gathered around him.

"Are you aliens? You look so strange!"

"What are you doing here? Are you here on vacation?"

"You seem really strong!"

The crowd chattered away, leaving Sun Wukong at a loss for what to say. Faced with such an enthusiastic group, he could only manage to respond to them one by one.

"Hello, I'm Sun Wukong, an Earthling. Gamos told us you have some amazing skills, so we came here to learn from you."

Just then, Gamos, Son Gohan, and Piccolo also got off the ship and looked around curiously.

"Is this Yardrat? Do they really have that Instant Transmission you told us about?"

Piccolo couldn't believe that these frail little creatures in front of him could possess such an incredible technique.

No matter how far away the other person was, as long as he could sense their energy, he could arrive there instantly.

Gamos nodded, confirming it without hesitation.

"Instant Transmission will make things much more convenient for us. Even if a future battle destroys a planet, we'll still have a way to protect ourselves."

"Most importantly, if we're away from Earth when it's attacked, we'll be able to return right away."

Gamos had proposed this expedition. No—more precisely, the appearance of the two Dark Ones meant that Frieza had been killed before he could destroy the planet.

And after Sun Wukong transformed into a Super Saiyan, Shenron had sent him straight to Earth. That meant no one could use Instant Transmission anymore, which was incredibly inconvenient.

That was why Gamos had asked everyone to put their training on hold and learn a way to travel quickly first.

When the Yardratians learned that the visitors wanted to study Instant Transmission, they couldn't help feeling proud.

Look! Even someone this powerful had to learn from them. In some way, that meant they were better than their visitors.

Just then, a figure appeared out of nowhere, two fingers pressed to his forehead. He looked at them with a kindly expression.

"Whoa! Was that Instant Transmission? That's amazing! You just appeared out of nowhere!"

The Grand Elder smiled and waved his hand modestly, as though it were no big deal.

"Hello, I'm Gamos. I heard you can use Instant Transmission, so I brought my friends here to learn it."

Gamos stepped forward first and made his request in a friendly manner.

When the Grand Elder saw Gamos, he couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.

The child looked no older than five or six, yet the power within him was astonishing—far beyond Frieza's.

If he could befriend a warrior like this, he wouldn't have to fear Frieza's army in the future.

And if he taught them Instant Transmission, Gamos could instantly come to his aid if trouble arose. It was a good deal.

In an instant, the Grand Elder had made up his mind. He would teach them properly and treat them well. Ideally, they would even become friends.

"Hello, I'm the Grand Elder of Yardrat. You want to learn Instant Transmission? Of course I can teach you."

"That's wonderful! Thank you, Uncle."

The well-behaved Son Gohan hurried over, looking delighted.

"Dear guests who have come from afar, you must be tired after such a long journey. Why don't you come rest at our village first?"

The group accepted the warm invitation and followed him toward the village.

Of the four, Sun Wukong and Piccolo walked behind, while Gamos and Son Gohan walked ahead. They looked just like two children followed by their parents.

Gamos found this quite baffling. He and Sun Wukong were clearly the same generation, but now he was only six and practically the same age as Sun Wukong's son. It was just...

The four followed the Grand Elder to an enormous village. Though it was called a village, its facilities were far from primitive. In fact, its level of civilization was comparable to that of a major city.

"My friends, would you like something to eat first? You can sample some of our local specialties."

"Sorry for the trouble."

Saiyans couldn't turn down food, and they could only hope their appetites wouldn't frighten their hosts.

Three out of the four were Saiyans, so their food bill alone would be no small sum.

"Please wait a moment."

The Grand Elder left after saying that, leaving a few youngsters to look after the four.

As soon as he stepped outside, the Grand Elder flashed into a magnificent palace.

"My king, they're all powerful, especially the little boy with a tail. His battle power definitely surpasses the emperor of the universe, Frieza."

The one seated on the throne was a wrinkled Yardratian. He narrowed his eyes, looking listless.

"Since they mean us no harm, treat them well. As for Instant Transmission, just teach it to them."

"We can't refuse someone that powerful. Rather than anger him, we should befriend him."

"Whatever they ask for, do your best to provide it."

"Yes!"

Now that the king had given his orders, the Grand Elder would naturally obey.

"All right, go keep our guests company."

After receiving the king's instructions, the Grand Elder flashed away.

Meanwhile, the four stared at the table piled high with delicious food, its aroma filling the room. How could they resist?

The food had a different style from Earth cuisine, and Gamos wanted to try it too.

Except for Piccolo, the other three Saiyans didn't hold back. They grabbed chunks of meat and stuffed them into their mouths.

"Delicious!"

The Yardratians around them couldn't help gawking. They were eating far too quickly!

"Do you have more? This won't be nearly enough for them."

Piccolo didn't need to guess whether a single table of food would be enough. He simply told them to bring more.

By the time the Grand Elder returned, the plates had been stacked into a mountain.

Seeing the unbelievable sight, the Grand Elder witnessed a Saiyan's appetite for the first time. It was truly terrifying!

"Everyone, I've already informed our king. Over the next few days, I'll make sure you learn Instant Transmission."

"That's wonderful!"

Sun Wukong stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and replied indistinctly.

After a whirlwind feast, the food on the table finally stopped being replenished.

Gamos rubbed his full stomach, feeling utterly content.

In his previous life, he'd been a broke loser who had to think twice before buying a piece of meat. He never imagined that after reincarnating, he'd have all the meat he wanted.

And so the four settled down on Yardrat.

A year had passed since the Namek incident, and Earth's Dragon Balls could finally be used again.

The moment the Dragon Balls were restored, the Guardian sent his attendant, Mr. Popo, to gather them.

In less than a day, all seven Dragon Balls had been collected.

Without a doubt, this time Shenron would be summoned at Bulma's house again.

All the surviving Namekians had gathered at Bulma's house. Bulma raised her hands and recited the words to summon Shenron.

"Come forth, Shenron, and grant my wish!"

The familiar scene played out once more. The Dragon Balls glowed, and the figure of a blue-green dragon appeared, asking what the wisher desired.

"Shenron, please revive all the Namekians who died, as well as the Earth warriors who died resisting the Saiyan invasion!"

"Easily done!"

Shenron's enormous eyes glowed red, and the wish was fulfilled in an instant.

The bodies that had been lying in the vacuum chambers in the yard all came back to life.

Even the deceased Namekian Grand Elder opened his eyes.

Seeing their dead companions revived, all the Namekians cheered.

Far away on King Kai's Planet, the halos above the heads of all the Earth warriors except Chiaotzu and Krillin vanished.

"T tien Shinhan, you're finally alive again!"

Seeing that the halo above his best friend's head was gone, Chiaotzu was overjoyed.

But two people there still hadn't been revived. It was a lingering regret.

"Don't worry, Chiaotzu. I'll stay here with you until you're revived too, and then we'll go home together."

Chiaotzu nodded happily.

"Your wish has been granted. Farewell."

Shenron turned into seven Dragon Balls again, which flew off toward seven different parts of Earth.

"Grand Elder!"

Everyone gathered around the Grand Elder, who looked at his descendants with a peaceful expression.

"My life has reached its end. From now on, you must live well!"

Everyone was reluctant to part with him. They didn't want their Grand Elder to die just like that.

"Life and death are part of fate. Besides, I've fulfilled my mission, so my life has not been in vain."

With the little time he had left, the Grand Elder passed on his position. That way, even after he died, the Dragon Balls would be bound to the new Grand Elder's life instead of disappearing with him.
