Departure! Namek

"What?"

At home, Son Wuling had just changed into a purple casual outfit. He stared in shock at the serious-looking Son Gohan and the timid Videl, who was too shy to look at him!

Holy crap, this kid Gohan already knows how to pick up girls at such a young age. He may not have Goku's subtle skills, but he's seriously impressive!

Ever since he had appeared, the plot had already gone off the rails. Satan and Videl had become his disciples, and the Z Fighters had not suffered as miserably as they had originally. But he knew how dangerous this trip to Namek would be. He did not even know whether Son Goku could still become a Super Saiyan like before!

Son Wuling kept staring at Son Gohan and Videl without saying a word. The silence made Son Gohan's skin crawl, while Videl lowered her head and nervously gripped her martial arts uniform.

"What did Satan say?"

Son Wuling crossed his arms over his chest and scrutinized Son Gohan and Videl as he asked.

Son Gohan hurriedly answered, "Uncle Wuling, Uncle Satan agreed to let Videl come with us! He said he was relieved knowing she would be with Dad and you! Even though he didn't want to, Uncle Satan said he didn't want Videl to regret it!"

Son Wuling's mouth twitched. Damn, they had already prepared everything. Videl even suddenly raised her head and looked at him expectantly!

Son Wuling pondered for a long time. After all, this trip to Namek was no joke. Although he was the only one who knew what would happen next, he and Son Goku, even Bulma, treated it like a vacation!

"Videl, we'll set off in three days. By eight o'clock tomorrow night, you must master all three moves I taught you. Otherwise, I won't agree even if Goku comes to plead for you!"

"Ah... Thank you, Uncle Wuling!"

"Yes, Master Wuling!"

Videl excitedly ran off to train, and Son Gohan quickly followed after her to help!

"Haha..."

Watching Son Gohan and Videl leave, Son Wuling laughed. Although he had changed many things, some things still could not be changed!

Three days later, at Bulma's house, Son Wuling, Son Goku, Piccolo, Son Gohan, and Videl had gathered together!

They had mastered the Kamehameha and Solar Flare. The Destructo Disc took longer to form, requiring around a minute, but they had learned it nonetheless!

"Wuling, what's the deal with this little girl? You didn't even want me to come, yet you agreed to bring a little girl aboard! What's going on?" Bulma demanded unhappily.

Son Wuling spread his hands. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have agreed either, Bulma. Besides, Gohan asked me..."

After saying that, Son Wuling gave Bulma a look. Bulma understood instantly and grinned mischievously at Son Gohan and Videl, who stood side by side. "Since Gohan asked, I agree too. Goku, Wuling, when we first met, we weren't this young!"

"Save the chatting for later. It'll take six days to get from here to Namek. Let's go already!"

Son Wuling, Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Videl bid farewell to Chi-Chi, Satan, Ox-King, Dr. Brief, Mrs. Brief, and the others before setting off on their journey to Namek.

Seated in the cockpit with Bulma, Son Wuling turned to Son Gohan, Videl, Piccolo, and Son Goku. "Everyone, sit tight and fasten your seat belts. There'll be some turbulence when we leave the atmosphere."

Bulma was wearing a spacesuit-like outfit. Looking at Son Wuling and the others in their light casual clothes and martial arts uniforms, she suddenly felt foolish.

Son Wuling said, "Coordinates set. 9045XY, Namek. Departure!"

Rumble!

The spherical spaceship suddenly took off. The intense shaking made Videl, Son Gohan, Son Goku, and Piccolo grip their seats tightly, accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness!

At Bulma's house, Satan stood with tears in his eyes as he watched the spaceship vanish from sight in mere seconds.

"Videl, make sure you listen to Teacher Wuling!"

Chi-Chi said, "Gohan, remember to wash your hair and brush your teeth!"

Even though they had already agreed, watching Son Gohan and Videl pilot the spaceship into the stars still left Chi-Chi and Satan feeling a sense of loss!

After passing through the atmosphere, the ship flew steadily through space at full speed. In an instant, it left the Solar System and reached the deepest reaches of the universe.

After setting the ship to autopilot, Bulma hurried into her room, ready to change out of the spacesuit that made her feel so stupid!

"Whoa..."

Videl used Flight to rise into the air. Looking at the stars of the universe through the window, her eyes sparkled with excitement! Son Gohan quickly followed, imitating Videl as he flew into the air as well.

Piccolo looked at Son Gohan in surprise, then nodded. He felt something indescribable. They were so young... Right, he seemed to remember that Son Goku and Chi-Chi had been like this too!

Bulma came out of her room in casual clothes and showed everyone around the ship's interior: the lounge, kitchen, Gravity Room, bathroom, restroom, and even the sound system! There were ladders on every floor too!

The spaceship had four floors in total. The Gravity Room was on the fourth floor, which was also where the hatch entrance was. The cockpit and other facilities were on the third floor, while the rooms and lounge were on the first and second floors. Son Goku could not wait to enter the Gravity Room and begin training!

After seeing everything, Son Wuling finally understood why it had taken so long to build. Especially the lounge—aside from an amusement park, it had every entertainment facility imaginable. Son Wuling felt like his mind was about to explode!

Elsewhere, Vegeta, who had fled Earth in a sorry state, arrived at a certain base aboard his spaceship!

At that moment, an alien soldier wearing the same type of battle armor as Vegeta was shocked when he saw Vegeta's miserable condition and hurriedly brought him to the treatment room!

After Vegeta came out of the treatment room, his rage toward Earth made him want to return immediately and tear Son Goku and Son Wuling to pieces!

However, Vegeta looked at himself. He had gained quite a lot from Earth this time. He had also learned Son Goku's method of suppressing his battle power. Even so, his foundation was far inferior to Son Goku, Son Wuling, and the others. Some things could not be learned with a single glance.

"First, I'll go to Namek. I'll wish for immortality. Only then can I defeat Kakarot, that Earthling named Son Wuling, and Frieza!"

That final name made Vegeta clench his fists!

"Well, Vegeta, you look pretty miserable. Hehehehe... I heard Raditz and Nappa are both dead. Just who was so powerful that they beat the invincible Saiyans so badly? Hehehe..."

A blue humanoid alien, covered in toad-like spots, looked at Vegeta and openly mocked him.

"Get lost, Cui. I don't have time to waste on you!"

Vegeta walked straight past Cui!

Cui grabbed Vegeta's shoulder. Vegeta's disregard made him furious.

"Listen, Lord Frieza is very angry that you went to Earth without permission!"

Vegeta's voice turned cold, and his expression gradually became serious. "What does that have to do with trash like you? And take your filthy hand off me!"
