Gohan scanned the area. "Isn't Uncle Vegeta training with you?"

  "Vegeta's a villain. According to afterlife rules, he can't keep his body. He's in Hell. And he caused a scene when he arrived..."

  "That... sounds like him."

  North Kai focused. Searched for New Namek.

  "Found it. In Earth coordinates: X-5236.75, Y-6633.32, Z-3421.69."

  Gohan nodded. "Closer than the old Namek."

  Rebuilding the world. Making a spaceship won't be as hard now.

  North Kai's face went pale. Green as Piccolo's.

  "Oh no. New Namek is facing a catastrophe."

  Piccolo's face darkened. "King Kai, what's happening to my homeworld?"

  "A mechanical planet is heading toward New Namek at high speed. It devours all organic life. Many planets have fallen. And now it's targeting New Namek."

  Gohan's expression hardened. "Perilla, we need to leave. Now."

  "Right."

  They said quick goodbyes. Piccolo grabbed Gohan's shoulder. "Save them. Please."

  On the way back—

  Perilla frowned. A mechanical planet that devours organic life. I've heard of this enemy before.

  "Gohan. After your dad defeated Frieza... besides his father, did any other relatives come for revenge?"

  "Yeah. Six months after Dad returned to Earth, Frieza's brother Cooler showed up. He had one more transformation than Frieza. But Dad beat him."

  "Cooler..."

  So this world includes the old movie content too.

  "Why do you ask?"

  "I'm a deity. I have a feeling this crisis is connected to Cooler."

  Wait, gods can predict the future?

  "Impossible. Dad threw Cooler into the sun. No way he survived."

  Perilla's eyes gleamed. "Maybe. Who knows? Let's get to New Namek first."

  "Alright..."

  They returned to Earth via Instant Transmission. Flew straight to West City. Trunks's home.

  Bulma was reviewing blueprints. Her father's old spaceship designs.

  "Is this Grandpa's spaceship design?"

  "Yep. Your Uncle Goku used this to reach Namek. Saved me, Gohan, and Krillin."

  "Cool! Can we start building it?"

  "Not yet. We don't have materials. Once the order arrives, we can start."

  Can't cook without ingredients. Building a spaceship requires massive resources. Without the Androids' destruction, it'd be easy. But they wrecked the entire supply chain. Starting from zero will take at least six months.

  Trunks looked up. "Gohan and Perilla are here!"

  Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform. Support original creators!

  He ran to the door. Opened it.

  Gohan and Perilla landed.

  "Did you get the coordinates? Did you see King Kai?"

  Trunks was excited. He wanted to meet his father. Vegeta had died before Trunks turned one. He had no memories of him.

  "We got them."

  Gohan stepped inside. Saw Bulma organizing blueprints.

  "Bulma, when can the ship be ready?"

  "Six months. We're still waiting on materials."

  "We don't have that long. King Kai said New Namek is in danger. We need to protect it. Or we lose our last hope."

  "Danger?!"

  Bulma's face paled. But what could she do?

  Perilla raised her hand. "Can I see the blueprints? I should be able to make it."

  Trunks jumped. "Right! Perilla can create things from nothing! She can make a spaceship!"

  "You can build a spaceship?"

  "I'm a deity. I can't create sentient life. But most mortal machines? Easy. As long as I know the specs."

  "Oh! Goku mentioned the previous Kami restored the moon after it was destroyed. So Earth's Kami does have some tricks."

  Perilla's expression turned awkward.

  "I didn't mean you—I just meant—"

  Earth's Kami usually trains people. Rarely fights directly.

  "It's fine. Show me the blueprints."

  "Okay."

  Perilla scanned the designs. Divine memory helped her absorb and understand everything instantly.

  She stepped outside. Raised her hand. Energy gathered in her palm.

  "Begin construction."

  The energy released. Formed a skeletal frame of a spherical spaceship. The frame solidified. Expanded. Became a real spaceship.

  "Incredible..." Bulma ran her hand along the hull.

  "Not bad. Couldn't have done it without your blueprints and material data."

  "Now we can go to New Namek!" Trunks grinned. Exploring space. Unknown enemies. His Saiyan blood boiled.

  "I'll stay behind. I'm not a fighter. And West City needs rebuilding."

  The last Namek trip was terrifying. I'm too old for space adventures now.

  "Alright, Mom. Take care."

  "Don't worry. With the Androids gone, Earth is safe."

  Perilla nodded. "As Earth's Kami, I'll sense any major threats. Plus, the trip only takes five days. We'll be back soon."

  New Namek isn't far. The Namekians wished for a planet near Earth.

  "You can contact me through the ship's communicator anytime."

  "See you in ten days, Mom!"

  The three boarded. The ship's controls were simple. Even Goku had figured them out without training.

  Bulma waved.

  The ship lifted off. Flew into space. Toward New Namek.
