Chapter 47 - The Z-Fighters

Eleven Months have passed since Goten returned from his training.

In a locker room, a phone suddenly rang. But there was no one around.

Because everyone was in a stadium where the grand final of a baseball tournament was taking place.

"Take this," Yamcha said as he took a swing of his bat hitting the ball and launching it into the air so high that it disappeared from everyone's sight.

"That's it. That is the signature Homerun of Giant's ace player. Yamcha. He is a player that is not only good at pitching the ball but also good at batting it." The announcer yelled out loudly as the most medium erupted in cheers.

After all, it was the last play and Yamcha's home run decided his team's victory.

Yamcha's main job is being a baseball player. As someone who can use ki and is trained in martial arts, he is good at it.

Combined with his handsome appearance that women are drawn over he is considered one of the most richest, popular and marketable athletes of all time.

-----------------------

He returned to the locker room after celebrating his victory.

Normally an athlete has to share a locker room with teammates.

But Yamcha is so popular that he was able to get a separate locker room that is filled with many types of cosmetics, branded clothing and space for his personal belongings similar to an A-rank celebrity.

"Hmm. There are lots of misscalls." Yamcha said as he picked up his phone.

"Must be from Paur. Should I buy a snack for him on my way home?" Yamcha said but when he saw the name of the person who called him his face tensed up a bit.

"It must be an emergency," Yamcha said.

"Yes. It's an emergency." Piccolo said as he popped out of nowhere scaring Yamcha so much that he accidentally dropped his phone.

"You scared me," Yamcha said.

"So what happened?" Yamcha asked.

"Frieza is back," Piccolo replied.

-----------------------------

In a cabinet mountains far away.

"Lunch is ready." A curly hair blonde woman called out.

It was a woman called Launch. A woman who has two personalities inside one body that she can switch by sneezing.

Then suddenly the phone that was inside the cabinet rang.

"Hello." Launch picked up. It was from Bulma.

Outside the cabinet, there were three people.

Chaiotzu was playing with a small girl who possessed blue hair with some blonde highlights in her hair.

And Tien Shinhan was sparring with his own extra body that he created using Multiform.

Tien Shinhan decided to settle down with Launch after Beerus's fight with Goten.

Knowing Goten and Trunks will step up when an emergency occurs he decides to take his training more lightly.

Even then he didn't get weaker. Since he found his inner peace his power has grown even stronger.

---------------------------

At the Kame house.

"It's kind of lonely since Krillin and 18 moved out." Master Roshi said.

"I want to see girls with Puri Puri in bikinis. Why does it have to be this girl." Master Roshi said as he looked at the nine-year-old Marron playing in the sea.

"If I see the other Marron I would not have minded but not this one." Master Roshi said.

"When can you stop? This is kind of embarrassing." A talking turtle that lived with him said to Master Roshi.

"But still. A having a feeling that I am looking after a granddaughter is not that bad." He said.

At that moment he saw Piccolo and Yamcha flying towards his house.

----------------------------

In a house in East city.

Android 18 was reading a magazine after she finished doing her chores.

Then she saw Krillin come into the house with a bruise on his forehead.

"What happened?" She asked as she grabbed a fast-aid box and ran towards her husband.

Krillin lies on the sofa as she treats his wounds.

"How did you even get hurt?" 18 asked him as she gave him a lap pillow while applying the medicine with cotton to his wounds.

"I got hit by a gun," Krillin said.

Yamcha got stronger after getting trapped in the time chamber and Tien's strength only grew after he found his inner peace.

Krillin was another case.

After he got married at 18 he decided to stop training so that he could spend more time with his family.

18 or Marron would not have stopped him if he stayed as a Martial artist that doesn't have a job and even supported him but Krillin wanted to be a responsible dad and a husband.

So despite still wanting to train and become stronger, he got a job as a cop in West City.

Spending his time at home with his family or at his job fulfilling his duties.

It was a respectable thing to do but it made him weaker both physically and mentally.

Krillin was never the strongest person among his friend group that had Goku, Piccolo and Tien (who was able to harm imperfect Cell) but now he is so far behind.

As for 18, she has already retired from fighting. Unlike her husband, she didn't get any weaker but she decided that she would not fight again unless it was necessary.

"Oh. By the way. Bulma called." 18 said to Krillin.

She didn't want to talk to Krillin about Bulma's message but she decided to tell him because she did not want to hide things from him.

---------------------------

Marron, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, Master Roshi and Krillin arrived at the Capsule cooperation.

Where Bulma and Jaco were waiting for them.

"Aunt Bulma. Where are Goten, Trunks and Bulla?" Marron asked.

"And more importantly. Where is Gohan?" Piccolo asked her.

Piccolo didn't go and get Gohan.

He thought Bulma would contact him first but he was surprised when he didn't see him with her.

What's more worrying is that he did not see the kids either.

Piccolo knew that the three kids were the strongest right now.

Of course, he didn't know that the kids were so unbothered by Frieza to the point that they went out to have a meal.
