Universe Seven,
Planet Earth,
Mount Paozu.
Eero looked around at the hill he disappeared from before. 'It's been five years since I left. Soon that Beerus cat will arrive. I don't know how they will react after seeing my strength,' he thought intriguingly.
Eero then spread his senses over the whole Earth, then glanced in the direction of West City. "So today is the day of his arrival. The party will start in a while."
Eero's figure flickered and instantly appeared beside West City.
Now his speed was faster than the speed of light. He could now travel through the universe space easily and faster than those angels. While using the time domain, in only one second outside, he could reach anywhere inside the universe he wanted.
[Friction doesn't affect his movement while using the time domain]
Eero walked toward Bulma's house at the edge of West City, looking at the cruise ship parked near the small port, which belonged to Bulma, and people were boarding it.
"Huh?" Vegeta and Gohan flinched and turned to look behind them, surprised to see Eero walking toward them calmly.
"Gohan, how are you? It's been a while," Eero greeted calmly, looking at them.
"Nani!" Gohan exclaimed, and Vegeta raised his eyebrows.
Other Z family members, including Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Videl, were surprised to see Eero.
"Eero!"
"Where were you? I couldn't find you anywhere. You disappeared suddenly," Gohan appeared beside him instantly and patted Eero's shoulder, asking curiously.
Eero smiled and looked at everyone's curious expressions, replying calmly, "I was summoned somewhere and stayed there for five years in order to complete quests."
"Quests?" Gohan and Vegeta raised their brows, especially Vegeta, his interest piqued.
"Some important quests where I had to battle and stop some villains," Eero explained.
"Amazing! Big brother Eero, I also want to do quests," Goten interrupted suddenly.
Eero shook his head, replying, "It depends on luck if you can be summoned to that place. Also, there is no other way to reach there besides summoning."
Goten and Trunks' excitement diminished suddenly, and they became depressed.
"Che," Vegeta turned his head away in disappointment. Only Gohan nodded, giving an understanding expression.
"Come on, Eero, join us. Aunt Bulma is throwing her birthday party," Gohan then invited.
"Yes, yes, Eero, you are also my savior. You must join us," Bulma spoke suddenly, inviting Eero herself. Others also nodded.
Eero nodded, then glanced at Videl. He raised his hand, and two gifts appeared in his palm. "Here, Videl. I couldn't attend your and Gohan's marriage. It's a gift from me."
Videl was surprised and received the packages in both hands, thanking him. Next second, instantly, everyone and everything around halted, including Vegeta.
Videl was surprised, looking around suspiciously. "It is your doing, Eero."
Eero nodded, then pointed at the two gift boxes. "One is for you, and another one is for your future daughter."
"What?" Videl exclaimed in shock, glancing at the two gifts in her hand, then at Eero suspiciously. "How do you know I will have a daughter?"
Eero shook his head and gave a silent gesture. "It's a secret I can't tell you. Don't worry, I will keep your secret."
Videl nodded with a smile. "Thank you."
Time retracted, and Eero glanced around. Then he talked with Gohan for a while and boarded the cruise along with others, navigating toward the ocean.
As everybody enjoyed themselves on Bulma's cruise, Trunks showed Goten around the ship. Goten was surprised to see a room filled with bingo prizes, such as a luxurious car, airplane, and a huge diamond.
Trunks pressed a switch, and a trapdoor unlocked, revealing a giant stand containing the Dragon Balls. It was heavily guarded, with multiple layers of protection and a pinkish electric barrier surrounding it. Touching it even slightly caused the person who touched it to fly back, even powerful Saiyans like Goten. Trunks acknowledged how amazing his mom's inventions were but pulled the plug, saying that there's always a way around them.
After Trunks pulled the plug, the barrier around it disappeared. He then entered a combination of buttons on the button pad, after which the hatch opened, revealing all seven Dragon Balls.
"Aren't you afraid some thief will take them away and harm the earth and loved ones around you?" Unknowingly, Eero appeared behind both of them and spoke, startling both Goten and Trunks, causing them to jump in fear.
"You have frightened us, big brother Eero. Don't worry, we are very strong. We will protect earth and everyone on it," Goten and Trunks patted their chests and replied.
Eero shook his head. "I don't believe you are strong enough to protect everything."
Goten and Trunks were in a daze, then said seriously, looking at Eero, "Let's fight. If we defeat you, then you will accept that we are the strongest."
"Interesting. Well, let's add a condition. If you both land a successful blow on me, then I will consider you the strongest. How is it? Do you accept?" Eero spoke intriguingly, very interested in their challenge.
Goten and Trunks nodded and got ready to attack. Eero turned around and glanced at the hall, mapping the area in his mind. Then he nodded in their direction. "Come on."
"Hiya!" Goten and Trunks' hair turned golden as they leaped at Eero's direction, punching his face from both directions.
Eero expressionlessly raised both hands and redirected their attacks toward each other.
"Ahh!" Both felt extreme pain from punching each other's faces in full force and backed away, looking at Eero standing there calmly. 'What just happened?' they became very confused.
Next second, they looked at each other, nodded, and changed their strategy. Goten leaped and punched, while Trunks appeared behind and kicked.
Eero's mouth curved and Goten's punch fell on Trunks' face, while Trunks kicked Goten in the stomach in return. Both backed away again, feeling the pain.
'We tried to stop our attacks. Why did we both still feel pain?' Goten and Trunks thought while rubbing their faces and stomachs.
Instantly, they decided to be serious, activated Super Saiyan 2nd form, and attacked again. Still, each time Eero deflected and redirected their attacks using small force.
