Chereads / Dragon ball Z: A True Saiyan / Chapter 153 - Chapter 153

Chapter 153 - Chapter 153

Sage-"I guess you could say so, though what are you guys working on?"

Standing behind Mia, I look over her and see a whole bunch of burnt and crumpled papers with runes engraved on them, though seeing how they're dark pink I judged it was Mia's doing.

Nala-"Nothing much dear, just teaching Mia some runes, though she seems to be having some difficulty right now."

Right when Nala finished talking the paper on which Mia was engraving runes spontaneously combusted, evoking Mia's anger as she slammed the table, though luckily Nala has engraved several types of protection runes on everything in her lab, so nothing broke.

Mia-"Ahhhh, mom it's not WORKING!!"

Nala-"Well dear, care to tell me how yelling in anger and slamming the table is going to help you?"

Mia-"Hmph, it may not help but it's easier to do than learning some stupid runes."

Nala-"Maybe if you paid attention to when I was explaining it and not acting like a child, you wouldn't be having such a hard time."

Mia-"Tch, but I am a child."

Nala-"Hmm, what did you say Mia?"

Mia-"N-Nothing!"

Nala-"Haa, whatever, just go take a break, your father and I will be talking, so just don't leave the house."

Mia jumped from the chair in happiness before quickly dashing out of the room, probably to either train or watch some human tv, however, looking over to Nala I saw how she just shook her head while releasing a sigh in frustration, and though she looked annoyed, I could see a small smile visible on her face. After I helped Nala clean up the mess Mia created while practicing runes, we sat down at the table and started talking.

Nala-"So, what was the mission about?"

Sage-"We had spotted Towa interfering with the timeline, so I went to try and find her with the group, though everything turned out quite bad, we defeated a dude named Moro and then afterwards Cumber appeared, I fought him but he had gotten a strong power up so I got my ass handed to me. However, it wasn't all bad I guess, I did get a good zenkai when I healed up."

Nala-"Well, I'm glad you're fine but is that everything, doesn't seem like Towa's interference did much this time around?"

Sage-"That's the problem, Moro and Cumber were just distractions that allowed Towa to freely hop between universes and steal all of the Supreme Kai's time rings, which she needs in order to break Demigra out of the crack of time."

Nala-"That is terrible and if she already has what she needs to free Demigra, why are you here and not protecting the time vault?"

Sage-"Because Chronoa said it'll take Towa at least 3 months for her to harness the space-time energy present in the time rings, so until then we must prepare for her arrival, however, that's not the reason I wanted to talk with you, I wanted to talk you about 21."

When I mentioned 21, Nala's face which currently had a thinking expression suddenly changed as her pupils shited to a more reptilian look, and her fangs grew out in response while she looked at me with a cold penetrating stare.

Nala-"Tell that bitch no! Hmph, little slut thinks she can seduce my man and then has the audacity to ask you if we can work together, I think not."

Her words definitely surprised me, because I've never told Nala how 21 is always flirting with me and how she constantly tries seducing me, and for your information, the reason I never told her wasn't that I was interested in 21, it was because I didn't wish for Nala to get upset over something as useless like 21 trying to seduce me, cause it's never going to work.

Sage-"How did you even know about that, I've never told you?"

Nala-"Hmph, dear with how many runes I've engraved on your bracers and pants, do you think I haven't bothered engraving a recording rune? And I'm glad I did, otherwise, I probably would never have known about that sluty bitch who can't keep her hands to herself."

Sage-"Anyways dear, I understand your anger but you also know that if Demigra is set free and manages to destroy the time vault then everything will be erased, you, Bulma, Gohan, Tien, 18, even Mia! Listen, personally, I would prefer if 21 stays away from you, but unless you know of a way to track- Wait, I might've just thought of a genius idea!"

Nala-"Really? That's rare coming from you."

Sage-"Tch, just so you know Nala I'm not dumb! Anyways, Nala is it possible for you to create a rune to stop me from aging or something?"

Nala-"Hmm, It is possible but it's complicated and it would take a while to finish, however, for an alternative I can create a rune that'll leave your body in suspended animation if that'll work?"

Sage-"What's suspended animation mean?"

Having to ask that question after just saying a second ago I'm not dumb isn't the best look at my intelligence but suspended animation is quite a big word.

Nala-"By definition suspended animation means 'the temporary cessation of most vital functions without death, as in a dormant seed or a hibernating animal.' If I engrave a rune on you with that attribute then time will be redundant for you, however, within that state, you can not grow stronger or heal from any damage you may sustain, but most importantly you can't generate Ki."

Sage-"Dammit, my plan won't work then, with how chaotically time moves within that dimension I might run out of ki before I find Towa."

Nala-"What about chaotic time?"

Sage-"21 has trackers placed on some of the time rings, so it's possible to locate Towa, however the dimension she currently occupies has a very chaotic flow of time, so sneaking in is going to be difficult."

Nala-"That's it? Why didn't you say that earlier, I thought it was going to be a bigger deal than that. Here take this then, it should be perfect for your current situation."

Looking up, I caught a small round object Nala threw at me and started inspecting it, though it honestly just looked like a round iron ball.

Nala-"That right there is PDL or a Portable Dimensional Lab, It's one of the first I had made so it's quite small but it works perfectly fine, just squeeze it and bam, you're in some kind of mirror dimension."

Sage-'Huh, well this is perfect.'
