Dragon Ball: Escaping from Planet Vegeta

"Huh? Going to Planet Namek? Are you sure, Talot?"

After dinner, as everyone sat around the table chatting, Talot finally shared his plan, which shocked Gine.

Talot nodded slightly, and without hesitation, said, "As I mentioned, the Earth's Eternal Dragon cannot grant our wish, but maybe the Eternal Dragon of Planet Namek can. That's why this trip is necessary."

"And when exactly are you going? I'll make preparations in advance," Gine responded, firm and decisive.

Perhaps because this once again involved Bardock and Raditz, she was so resolute.

As for Kakarot, she had already been with him for two months.

Even though it would be hard to part, her first thought was that at least Kakarot would be safe on Earth, with Son Gohan looking after him.

Hearing Gine's words, Talot wasn't surprised. He had expected Gine would instinctively want to go along.

In Gine's eyes, even though she trusted him and let him make decisions on most things, she still saw him as a child.

It wasn't about strength. As an adult, Gine always worried that Talot was still too young to take care of himself.

Shaking his head slightly, Talot spoke firmly, "This time, Aunt Gine, you should stay on Earth and take care of Kakarot. Salari and I can handle it. Besides, with my current power level, even if the Namekians are unfriendly, I won't fear any danger."

Gine was stunned, while Salari looked excited.

Because Talot was leaving Earth and was taking her with him.

Although he wasn't planning on taking along Aunt Gine, Salari cared more about whether she could stay by Talot's side.

"But... is it really okay? You and Salari are only six and a half years old..." Gine was worried.

But she also understood what Talot was saying.

He and Salari were strong enough to not fear the dangers of Planet Namek.

But she wasn't. Even though her power level was still at 1500, she had spent the past two months caring for Kakarot. Not only had her strength not improved, but she might not even be able to fully use her current power level.

Even if she worked hard to catch up in the coming time, her various worries would prevent her from making any significant breakthroughs.

So, if she went with them, she would only hold them back.

Looking at Talot and Salari, Gine suddenly felt at a loss for words.

Since Planet Vegeta's explosion, it seemed like everything had changed.

Time had moved on, and while she hadn't fallen behind before, now, compared to her, Talot had a power level exceeding 10,000, rivaling Bardock, and even Salari's strength was comparable to that of an upper-class warrior.

"It's okay, Aunt Gine. I'll take good care of Salari. Besides, don't you trust me? I wouldn't do anything I wasn't sure of.

"And don't forget, we Saiyans are sent out to expeditions from a young age. We could do it when our power level was low, let alone now."

Talot had already prepared his excuse for Gine.

After all, they were Saiyans.

A crazy fighting race.

"I won't hold Brother Talot back," Salari assured, echoing Talot's words.

Seeing her look so serious, Talot smiled, his eyes containing a doting expression.

Gine looked at them both, finally sighing and agreeing to Talot's decision.

In fact, bringing Salari along was a decision Talot had thought about for a long time.

Firstly, because Salari had always been by his side, and to earn his attention, she had worked tirelessly to train and catch up to him.

Imagine having a girl who wholeheartedly follows you, completely devoted to you. Talot, who has lived a combined 30 years across his past and present lives, could never ignore that. How could he bear to hurt her or do something that would make her resent him and stop liking him?

Besides, while Gine might disrupt his future progress, Salari wouldn't.

He didn't need to put on any sort of act or pretend in front of Salari.

Just like over the past two months—without Gine around—Talot was completely free and didn't have to think too much before doing anything.

Of course, this wasn't a complaint, rather he was growing up, and there would inevitably come a time when he had to take this step.

In other words, Gine had her own things to do and her own future.

Talot and Salari also had their future.

The second reason for bringing Salari was to help her develop greater self-defense capabilities for the future.

Going to Planet Namek wasn't just about getting the Dragon Balls to make a wish; they would also need to rely on the Grand Elder's ability to unlock potential.

By bringing Salari along, he could unlock her potential as well, at least increasing her strength.

As for Salari not having any potential, that was definitely impossible.

After all, she had been training under heavy gravity for so long—there was no way she hadn't accumulated anything.

Now, you might ask, why haven't they gone looking for Ultra Divine Water yet?

That's something Talot had been hesitating about, and his final decision was to save the Ultra Divine Water for later.

At least for now, using Ultra Divine Water to unlock their potential wouldn't be very meaningful. Especially since using it before the Grand Elder's unlocking potential would make the latter redundant.

Once everything was agreed upon, Talot and Salari stayed the night at Mount Paozu.

It wasn't until the next day that they returned to West City.

To make it easier to communicate with Brief and Bulma, they were staying at Brief's house.

Of course, not in the large capsule house, but in a cozy cabin that Brief had specially prepared for them.

For Brief, it could be easily done.

Speaking of the journey, it wouldn't be too soon, but it wouldn't be too far off either.

At the fastest, they'd leave in half a month; at the slowest, a month.

The spaceship was already 90% complete. The final 10% seemed troublesome, but it was just some minor issues.

The most important thing was that once the spaceship was finished, they'd need to perform short-range flight tests.

This was to ensure that the spaceship was 100% safe.

Speaking of which, in the original work, Brief built a spaceship within a month, along with a 100x Gravity Chamber.

But the two situations couldn't really be compared.

Over the span of twenty years, the development of Earth's technology cannot be described in a few words.

Also, the specifications and design of this spaceship were completely different.

...

Time slowly passed by.

Talot and Salari spent this time waiting while steadily improving their strength using the Gravity Chamber.

Over the course of more than half a month, Talot and Salari's strength had improved again.

Of course, the biggest improvement wasn't just in power level, but rather in the innovation of techniques, skills, and combat methods.

Finally, the day arrived.

The spaceship was completed.

With Brief and Bulma leading the way, Talot and Salari gained a detailed understanding of the spaceship.

Even though Talot had visited frequently during its construction and had listened to Brief's explanations, seeing the finished product right in front of him was a completely different experience.
