The darkness of the night was becoming more and more intense, but the full moon helped to keep some light in the place. Akira descended from the sky shirtless, with Goku unconscious under his left arm.
The girls had noticed that in addition to Goku having returned to normal, Akira had also returned to his real appearance and was no longer under that ability. Bulma gave Goku a worried look "Is he okay?"
Akira carefully placed Goku, who had his body covered by his shirt, on the ground, then said "He just fainted from having his tail cut off, but he'll wake up normally in a while"
His eyes swept over the two girls, then focused on the little pig, his expression turning to one of disapproval 'Was he so scared that he didn't even think about transforming to escape?'
"How did you know how to deal with that monster?" Chi-Chi asked with eyes full of admiration.
Bulma also gave him a similar look, but she seemed more confused 'If I hadn't heard the whole story Goku told and seen him transform in front of me, I wouldn't have known he was that monster, but Akira didn't even hear that and barely met Goku, how did he know until he turned him back to normal?'
"You guys might not believe this, but Goku comes from another planet" Akira said calmly, but his words shocked the girls and Oolong.
"I wasn't sure when I first saw him, but turning into a giant ape upon seeing the full moon confirmed it for me. I knew removing his tail would make him lose his transformation" He finished speaking and looked at the reactions.
He had already expected this question, so he thought about how to answer it as he brought Goku here. Since they had just met this morning, it would be absurd to say that he had discovered something like that, so he had to tell a half-truth.
"Goku is an alien?!" Bulma asked in disbelief as she looked at the sleeping boy before her.
Akira nodded "The world doesn't just have us, there are countless planets inhabited throughout the universe, many have technology superior to ours, which allows them to travel throughout the universe... The person who taught me how to use Ki, told me about some things about the universe out there and it turns out he told me about the Saiyan race, who look like us, but have a monkey's tail"
His words were half-truths, but no one could prove that he was lying. Everyone was shocked, they involuntarily looked up at the sky, imagining other planets inhabited by aliens.
"It's shocking, but it's the truth." Akira smiled. "In the future, I plan to leave planet Earth and explore the universe, to become the most powerful!" His eyes shone with pure arrogance.
He had already had this goal since he arrived in this world, but his confidence soared when he received the information about the ability he requested from Shenlong.
The technique had a name, Nine Divine Revolutions of Destruction, something that made his heart tremble just thinking about it.
As the name said, there were nine levels to this technique, Akira had used the first revolution to fight the Oozaru, which was also his current limit, but it was already enough to double his power.
This technique was not something like the Kaioken, which depended on the user's body's resistance, it was also far from being as harmful to his body.
But to take a step forward and reach the next revolutions he didn't have to increase his power, but absorb a certain type of Ki, the Ki of destruction.
Akira didn't know exactly what it was, but upon gaining information about this technique, he had a brief idea that this Ki would be slowly formed by destroying other things.
It was a very broad concept, one that he could still barely understand the surface of, but he knew one thing, destruction encompassed even living beings, so killing was a form of destruction.
The truth was that he could only use the first revolution because he already had some Destruction Ki in him.
Returning to their current situation, everyone was still shocked, but they were slowly accepting Akira's words into their hearts.
He then said "Well, the dragon balls have been used, Goku is unconscious and night has already arrived, it would be better if we slept for now"
...
Bulma had her housing capsule that she bought earlier and Akira also had one, which he got from the Ox King. These houses were small, normally they would be used by one or two people, but there were five of them.
Akira would never let Oolong sleep near the girls, so he left Goku and the piggy at his house, and went to Bulma's house. He could have slept with both of them, but he had unfinished business with the blue-haired girl.
While Chi-Chi slept comfortably in bed, just a few meters away from her Bulma and Akira were sitting in front of a circular table.
There was a single light on, barely illuminating the room, but Bulma's flushed face was still clearly visible.
"You seemed more confident before, does the dark make you shy?" Akira said, giving her a seductive smile "That kiss was nice, but did it mean anything?"
Bulma's face flushed even more, remembering that brief kiss she had given him earlier "I'm not sure... Do you really intend to be a womanizer?"
Akira slowly ran his fingers over her hand, making the girl feel her heart flutter "Is this so troublesome for you? Are you afraid that I won't be considerate because I have more girlfriends besides you?"
Hearing those words in a seductive tone, while feeling his hand on her skin, Bulma felt her body shiver "Well, a little... But I also think it's strange, this kind of relationship, it's not normal"
"Normal?" His hand held her arm affectionately "That's just people's culture, why hold on to it?" His other hand grabbed her chin and he looked her straight in the eyes "Are you going to let that influence the way you live your life? Break free from it and live the way you want"
Akira slowly leaned in, bringing his face closer to hers slowly, his intention was quite clear. The girl hesitated for a moment, but quickly responded to his wish, allowing him to kiss her.
This time it wasn't a quick and shy kiss, but a slow and passionate one. The two had closed their eyes, surrendering to the intensity of the situation, their lips seemed like a magnet, not letting each other separate.
When Akira finally pulled away from her, Bulma let out a soft sigh, as she slowly opened her passion-filled eyes.
Running his thumb over her lips, Akira smiled seductively "You won't be the only one in my heart, but that won't make you any less important. I know I'm selfish, but I'll make sure to make you happy"
Akira spoke like a complete womanizing scoundrel, but his words were honest, he intended to do his best to please Bulma.
The girl had her mind blanked by the kiss and now only had a silly expression on her face "Alright" Her voice sounded like a whistle.
...
Morning came quickly, and despite a small incident of Goku yelling about his tail during the night, nothing else disturbed them.
Chi-Chi was the first to wake up and found Bulma's figure beside her, still drooling on her pillow. The bed wasn't very big, but it was enough to accommodate both girls.
Rubbing her eyes, Chi-Chi yawned "What time is it?..." Her sleepy voice sounded.
Dragging herself across the bed, the girl stepped over Bulma and got out of bed. As soon as she stood in front of the bed, she noticed something was strange, her feet seemed to be on top of something.
"Hm?" She muttered strangely, then turned her head down, as she saw in the darkness, Akira's face, with his eyes open, then realized where her feet were "Oh my God! I'm sorry!"
She quickly got off Akira's chest and her gaze was filled with guilt 'I didn't know he had slept so close to the bed!'
From the ground, Akira was waking up with a confused look "What's wrong?" He asked without understanding what was happening.
It was quite clear that Akira didn't feel any pain, he was just awakened. Chi-Chi let out a light sigh "I didn't see you and ended up stepping on you..." She said shyly.
"I see..." Akira slowly got up from the floor, sitting next to the bed "No problem, it's good that I woke up now, I need to do something quick" As he said that, he looked at his arms, which were very swollen and now a purple color.
...
A few kilometers away from Pilaf's HQ, Akira was standing amidst the giant mushrooms, facing the body of a long-necked dinosaur.
The sun was rising, making for a beautiful view. Akira looked at his arms and there was nothing wrong with them now "I love this skill"
Taking a leap, he climbed onto the largest mushroom in the area and looked towards the sun, while smiling 'I had already noticed yesterday, but now I'm sure, what I absorb from the bodies is Ki of Destruction!'
Thanks to the technique he obtained by asking Shenlong, Nine Divine Revolutions of Destruction, he could feel it very well when absorbing this energy.
And that made him understand the reason why his Ki had that purple color, it was because he had Destruction Ki, instead of normal Ki.
'I don't know what the difference is between the two Ki, but I imagine that the Destruction Ki is the most powerful!' Akira thought excitedly at that.
He had already done what he came to do, so he set off back to where the others were, flying through the blue morning sky.
...
Inside Bulma's small capsule house, everyone gathered early in the morning, having breakfast while discussing the future.
"You mean Grandpa's four-star dragon ball was sent away!?" Goku said in surprise.
Bulma who still had a somewhat sleepy face nodded her head "Yeah, and there's no way to find the orbs until a whole year passes, so we can't do anything about it now"
"Since I was the one who made the request, I will help you get your grandfather's dragon ball in a year" Akira said softly, as he brought coffee to his mouth.
That seemed like a simple kindness, but Akira already intended to follow Goku anyway, to absorb the energy of his enemies, especially one in particular.
Goku didn't seem to care much, he just nodded in agreement, then said "If it's going to take a year for the dragon balls to come back, I'll go train with Master Roshi"
"Are you really going to go train with that old pervert? Wouldn't you rather come live at my house? There's plenty of space there and you could go to school to study..." Bulma said, clearly uncomfortable with the idea.
'Akira said Goku is an alien, but he's still a kid anyway, so it would be good for him to study, instead of training with a pervert!' Bulma said in her mind.
"I don't want to study!" Goku said firmly "It was always boring when Grandpa made me read those boring books! It's much better to train!"
Bulma let out a long sigh, knowing that it would be impossible to convince this boy. Beside her, Chi-Chi shrugged and said "I'll go wherever Akira goes, so I don't need to talk about it. I'll just watch TV"
Taking just a few steps, the girl stood in front of the TV, with the remote in her hand, she sat on the floor.
"If Goku is going to train, then what do you plan to do, Oolong?" Bulma asked.
The little pig made a complicated expression, thinking about what words to use, his desire was to curse them and leave, but he remembered the two guys from the previous day, who died in an instant for provoking Akira.
"I think I'll go back to the Shapeshifting Academy, maybe they'll let me finish my studies there..." He said in a somewhat contemplative tone.
"Alright, good luck then" Bulma said dryly. She had a bad view of the little pig and had brought him because his ability would be useful, but in the end it was of little help, so she had no attachment to him.
Her gaze then turned to Akira and a fond smile appeared on her face "You're coming with me, right? You'll love my house and we'll be able to be together!"
Chi-Chi, who was in front of the TV, changed her focus to that conversation. She had already noticed earlier that something had changed between Bulma and Akira, and it was making her uncomfortable.
"Sure, but we still have a long journey to get there, so we should leave soon" Akira said with a smile.
