Chapter 14: While card
The figure stopped. "Now no need to fight, this more fun, you keep changing the future, and we have fun".
Yamcha looked at him. "And you think this is game".
The figure looked at him and spoke. "Oh, you will, because other wise I will tell everyone that your not the original Yamcha".
Yamcha stopped and looked at him, his eyes narrowed. "What are, have you been sent by the dragon of rebirth".
The man just scooped. "He wished, I am just someone who wants fun happening in this world, so no I am not a Villain, just good luck what will happen in the future".
Yamcha's expression darkened, his fists clenched tightly. "So you're telling me that you're some kind of… wildcard? You're not tied to the Dragon of Rebirth or anyone else, but you're messing with everything for your own amusement?"
The figure's grin widened, a sinister gleam in his eyes. "Exactly. You're trying to change things, rewrite the future, but don't you see? It's all part of the game now. You can't change fate, not completely. I've watched you, Yamcha, seen you work with that system of yours. It's amusing, really. But no matter how strong you get, there's always someone or something that can undo all your progress."
Yamcha's mind raced, trying to figure out how he was going to handle this. The man in front of him wasn't a simple villain or a typical antagonist; he was something else entirely. A rogue force with no real allegiance, someone who thrived on chaos.
Yamcha's aura flared, his resolve hardening. "I don't care about your games. If you're trying to mess with my life, my future, then you've made a big mistake."
The figure raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You think you can stop me?"
Yamcha didn't answer. Instead, he focused, feeling the energy within him surge. His cultivation abilities had advanced so much in such a short time, thanks to his training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and the constant growth provided by the system. He had more control over his power than ever before. Now, it was time to use it.
With a flash, Yamcha dashed forward, his speed overwhelming the figure for a brief moment. His fist collided with the man's face, a powerful blow that sent him skidding back. The figure staggered but grinned, wiping the blood from his lip.
"I see. You're not playing around. But then again, neither am I."
The man's body shimmered, and suddenly, he wasn't where Yamcha had punched him. He was standing behind Yamcha in the blink of an eye, his hand extended toward Yamcha's back. A dark energy crackled in the air.
Yamcha twisted around just in time, barely dodging the man's strike, but the force of the attack sent a shockwave through the room. The ground cracked beneath them as the air hummed with power.
"You're quick," the figure said, his tone amused. "But how long can you keep up?"
Yamcha gritted his teeth. "I don't need to keep up. I just need to finish this."
He leaped into the air, gathering energy for a massive attack. His hands crackled with intense ki, and he focused his energy to create a massive, spiraling wave of power.
"Galick Gun!"
The blast shot forward with incredible speed, the swirling energy beam cutting through the air toward the figure. However, the man seemed unfazed, his form flickering once again before he appeared behind Yamcha, avoiding the attack entirely.
"Impressive," the figure said. "But I told you, you can't win this game. You're too predictable."
Yamcha's eyes narrowed. "Then let's make it unpredictable."
He clenched his fists, tapping into the deeper layers of his cultivation power. Yamcha knew that if he kept fighting like this, it would be a battle of attrition, and he wasn't sure he could outlast this man. But if he could throw off the man's expectations, maybe he'd find a way to turn the tables.
Suddenly, Yamcha vanished in a blur of speed, reappearing behind the figure in an instant. His hands shot forward, grabbing the man's neck and slamming him into the ground with explosive force.
"You're underestimating me," Yamcha growled, his voice low and dangerous. "I'm not the old Yamcha anymore."
The man's eyes widened for a fraction of a second, and then he chuckled darkly. "You've definitely gotten stronger. But remember—this world is full of surprises, Yamcha. Things you can't possibly predict. You think you're changing the future? That's cute. But in the end, we all follow the same rules."
Yamcha's grip tightened, but he felt something flicker in the air around him. The man was still smiling, despite being held captive. Yamcha's instincts screamed at him to act fast.
Before he could react, the figure exploded into a burst of black energy, sending Yamcha flying back. The force of the explosion knocked him off his feet, and when the dust cleared, the figure was standing once again, completely unharmed.
"I have no interest in fighting you to the death," the figure said, his voice still casual, like they were having a casual conversation. "But I have to say, watching you struggle to change your fate is… entertaining."
Yamcha steadied himself, his body aching from the blast. His mind raced. "If you're not here to kill me, what do you want?"
The figure stepped forward, his hands clasped behind his back. "I told you. I just want to see how far you're willing to go to change the future. You think you can rewrite everything, but every time you make a choice, you're setting off a chain reaction. And eventually, those reactions will catch up to you."
Yamcha's fists tightened again. "I won't stop. I'm going to protect this world. If you want to watch me fail, then fine. But I'm not going to stop."
The man's grin widened, as though he had been waiting for Yamcha to say that. "I like you, Yamcha. You're interesting. You're strong, but more importantly, you believe in something. That's what makes this so much fun. Let's see how long you can keep it up."
With that, the figure turned, walking away with an air of complete confidence. "Remember, you can't change everything. We all have a role to play, and you can't escape it. But I'll be watching, Yamcha. I'll always be watching."
Yamcha stood in the lab, his body aching but his resolve unwavering. He couldn't let this mysterious figure distract him. No matter what this Model All was, Yamcha was going to stop it, even if it meant facing unimaginable challenges.
He clenched his fists, his aura flaring once again.
"This isn't over," he muttered, his eyes glowing with determination. "I'll change the future, and no one—no one—is going to stop me."
Yamcha then sighed. "System, what did I get my self into".
[ Host has entered a high-stakes scenario where future timelines are in flux due to interference from external factors. Probability of chaos has increased by 87%. ]
Yamcha rubbed his temples, letting out a long sigh. "Yeah, thanks, System. That's really helpful."
[ Host was the one who initiated the confrontation. System merely advises caution moving forward. ]
Yamcha rolled his eyes. "Yeah, well, next time, maybe warn me before I end up fighting some reality-bending lunatic. What even was that guy?"
[ Unknown. The individual does not align with known entities from this timeline or associated meta-data. The interference suggests he operates outside conventional rules. Probability of external player involvement: 92%. ]
Yamcha leaned against the ruined wall of Dr. Gero's lab, staring at the empty spaces where the androids and Cell should have been. "So, what you're saying is, he's not supposed to be here either. Great. I've got my own mess to clean up, and now I've got some cosmic troll breathing down my neck."
[ Affirmative. Host's actions have accelerated temporal disturbances, creating anomalies. ]
Yamcha groaned. "I was just trying to stop Gero before he made those walking apocalypse machines! Isn't that a good thing?"
[ Outcome ambiguous. Preventing Gero's creations removed known threats, but alternate dangers have taken their place. Example: Encounter with unknown figure. ]
Yamcha sank to the ground, his mind racing. He had wanted to use his knowledge of the future to make things better, to give Earth a fighting chance against the disasters he knew were coming. But now it felt like the more he tried to fix things, the more unstable everything became.
"System," he muttered, staring up at the sky through the broken ceiling. "Can I really change the future? Or am I just making it worse?"
For a moment, the system remained silent. Then:
[ The future is not set in stone, Host. Every decision creates ripples. Whether they lead to destruction or salvation depends on your actions. System calculates a 69% chance of eventual success if Host adapts and perseveres. ]
Yamcha chuckled bitterly. "69%, huh? Those aren't exactly the best odds."
[ Better than zero. ]
That made him pause. He let the words sink in, then pushed himself to his feet. "You're right. I've already come this far. No way am I backing down now."
His eyes wandered to the scattered remains of Dr. Gero's lab. He clenched his fists. "That guy said I couldn't change everything. But I'm going to prove him wrong. No matter how many curveballs this timeline throws at me, I'll find a way to win."
[ System supports Host's determination. Recommendation: Strengthen alliances and prepare for escalating threats. ]
Yamcha nodded. "Yeah. First things first—I need to let the others know what's going on. If Gero didn't make the androids, something else will fill that void. We need to be ready."
He took one last look around the lab, then flew into the sky, his mind already racing with plans.
The stakes were higher than ever, and the road ahead was uncertain. But Yamcha wasn't going to let anyone—cosmic troll or otherwise—dictate his fate.
"Bring it on," he muttered, his aura flaring as he shot toward the horizon. "I'll change this future, no matter what it takes."
Yamcha then flyer up, as he then blasted the lab in sky high. "A bit unnecessary, but better then having this here with god knows who has the android".
As Yamcha watched the remnants of Dr. Gero's lab disappear into the sky, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. The explosion was powerful enough to leave no trace of the twisted genius who had once plotted to destroy the world. It wasn't the most heroic move, but sometimes, efficiency mattered more.
"Better safe than sorry," he muttered, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. "I just wish I knew who was behind this. Something doesn't feel right."
[ Analysis: Host's actions have removed a known threat but have not solved the larger problem of temporal instability. ]
"Yeah, I know. It's a mess," Yamcha replied, his voice flat. He paused for a moment, staring at the sky. The fight was far from over, and the uncertainty gnawed at him. It was clear that someone, or something, was manipulating events from the shadows, and that made Yamcha uncomfortable.
The mysterious figure had mentioned the Dragon of Rebirth—a name that set alarm bells off in Yamcha's head. The fact that this entity had sent a mysterious player like the one he'd encountered only meant trouble.
Yamcha clenched his fists. "I can't do this alone."
[ Affirmative. Host should consider strengthening alliances and informing others of potential threats. ]
"Yeah, I'm on it," he said, already formulating his next move. He couldn't afford to go at this alone. He needed the Z Fighters, Goku, Piccolo, and everyone else in on this—whether they liked it or not. Yamcha needed them now more than ever.
As he flew toward Capsule Corp to meet up with Bulma, he began thinking about how to explain all of this. There was no easy way to say, "Hey, I've been reborn, I've messed with the timeline, and now there's a reality-warping guy after us." But he had to try. The future of Earth depended on it.
Minutes later, Yamcha arrived at Capsule Corp, landing softly on the ground outside. He walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
Bulma opened the door, blinking in surprise as she saw him. "Yamcha? What's going on? You look... different. Is everything okay?"
Yamcha ran a hand through his hair. "We need to talk. It's about Something . It's bigger than we thought."
One explanation later, Yamcha Explanation was do to something, he could see the future and will this work's for not
Bulma frowned, clearly not expecting this. "Wait, what do you mean?"
Yamcha sighed. "No, there's something else going on. Someone—or something—is messing with the timeline, and we're all caught in the middle of it. I've already been to Dr. Gero's lab, and I found something... weird. No androids, no Cell, just... a mess of temporal distortions. I don't know who's behind it, but they're playing games with us."
Bulma raised an eyebrow. "Wait, you're saying we're in danger? More than we already were?"
Yamcha nodded. "I'm not sure how it works, but whatever this person—or entity—is, they're not from this timeline. And they've been making sure that things don't go the way they should. I need to know what's going on, and I need your help."
Bulma crossed her arms, looking pensive. "Okay, I see... this is serious. What can I do?"
Yamcha looked at her with a serious expression. "I need you to help me find out more about this 'Dragon of Rebirth.' I think it might be tied to all of this. We need information, and we need to be prepared for whatever comes next."
Bulma nodded, her usual sharp intellect kicking into high gear. "I can help with that. But, Yamcha, you need to promise me you won't take on everything by yourself. You've already done a lot. We're in this together, okay?"
Yamcha smiled, relieved to have someone like Bulma on his side. "Thanks, Bulma. I promise. This time, we're doing it as a team."
As they began to discuss their next steps, Yamcha felt a renewed sense of determination. The battle ahead was going to be harder than anything they had faced before, but with his allies by his side, he knew they stood a fighting chance.
The future wasn't set in stone, but he was going to make sure it didn't crumble into chaos without a fight.
