Trunks had nothing more to say.
"There's another transformation... never mind, I won't demonstrate it for you," Vegeta said, immediately dispelling the glow around him and returning to his normal state.
Trunks' jaw nearly dropped.
There was another transformation?
Just then, the young Trunks finally woke up. Seeing Vegeta's transformation, he excitedly clapped his hands.
Vegeta waved at young Trunks.
"Ee-ya... ee-ya ya... Dad..." young Trunks grinned foolishly.
"Huh? Vegeta, Trunks called you Dad," Bulma was taken aback.
"I heard him. Trunks, hurry and call me Dad, say it again," Vegeta immediately stepped forward, taking young Trunks' small hand.
"Ee-ya ya..." young Trunks laughed happily, but didn't say it again.
Trunks beside them was speechless.
I've called you 'Dad' several times, and you never seemed this happy.
Am I really not your biological son?
"Trunks, to me, those two androids would disappear with a snap of my fingers. They're no match for me at all," Vegeta turned to look at Trunks.
Trunks remained silent.
How did Dad become so strong?
What timeline have I traveled to?
"However, I'd prefer you defeat those two androids through your own efforts," Vegeta said. "You can stay, and I'll guide your training. I believe under my tutelage, you'll soon possess the strength to surpass those two androids."
"Really... really, Dad?" Trunks was overjoyed.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at home," Vegeta said, and then, taking Bulma and young Trunks, he used Instant Transmission.
"Swish!"
In an instant, Vegeta vanished from the spot.
Trunks no longer hesitated, instantly transforming into a streak of light and flying towards Capsule Corporation headquarters.
In the distance.
Krillin and the others were stunned.
What in the world had happened?
Vegeta, why don't you say something?
Did you just leave without saying anything?
Who exactly is this young man?
"Never mind, let's go. It's probably not a big deal," Piccolo guessed. "Since Vegeta showed up, there probably isn't any major problem."
"You're right about that," Krillin nodded.
After that, Piccolo and the others dispersed one by one, going their separate ways.
Capsule Corporation Headquarters.
"Vegeta, why did you say that Trunks isn't our biological son? Didn't you say he came from the future?" Bulma asked.
"He came from the future, but was he born to you?" Vegeta asked.
"He was born to my future self," Bulma replied.
"Is your future self you?" Vegeta countered. "Are you, at this moment, the same person as your past self and your future self?"
Bulma: "..."
"You've got me so confused..." Bulma wiped her brow.
"Let me put it another way. If I were to do some things with your future self or past self... how would you feel?" Vegeta asked.
"I... I'd just watch," Bulma huffed.
"Don't regret it," Vegeta smiled.
"What do you mean? You're not serious, are you?" Bulma was taken aback.
"Watch carefully," Vegeta suddenly lunged forward, his speed dramatically increasing.
"Snap!"
The next moment, Vegeta held a woman in his hand.
A woman who looked exactly like Bulma.
Bulma was stunned.
The Bulma held by Vegeta was also completely dumbfounded.
"This... did you copy me?" Bulma was dumbfounded.
"No, this isn't a copy. This is a real, existing you," Vegeta smiled. "The you in my hand is you from 10 seconds from now."
Bulma: "..."
The other Bulma was also completely stunned.
Vegeta didn't stand on ceremony and, at that moment, embraced the future Bulma...
Bulma: "..."
This is truly an eye-sore...
"Hey, your son is right here!" Bulma said, exasperated.
"It's fine, he's already asleep," Vegeta smiled.
Bulma looked down and indeed saw that her son was asleep.
"Alright, how do you feel now?" After doing something a bit excessive to Bulma, Vegeta immediately looked at the current Bulma.
Bulma didn't want to speak, glaring at Vegeta with her cheeks puffed out.
"Hey, send me back quickly!" the future Bulma said, speechless.
"Understood." Vegeta didn't object. With a flash, he vanished from the spot.
In less than a second, Vegeta returned.
However, the future Bulma beside Vegeta had already been sent back.
"Tell me how you feel. If I were to have another child with that future you, even though it's you from 10 seconds later, would it be the current you?" Vegeta asked.
"Did you specifically bring my future self here to demonstrate this to me?" Bulma's chest heaved with anger.
"I wanted you to understand this principle," Vegeta smiled.
"I am Earth's greatest scientist, don't I understand this principle?" Bulma shouted in a sweet voice.
"It's good that you understand," Vegeta nodded in satisfaction.
Bulma didn't want to speak.
At that moment, Trunks also flew over rapidly from the distance and landed beside Vegeta.
"Dad, your speed is so fast..." Trunks exclaimed.
"This is called Instant Transmission. It allows me to go wherever I want in an instant," Vegeta smiled.
"Is that so? Dad, you're amazing!" Trunks now admired Vegeta immensely.
"Vegeta, how do you plan to train Trunks?" Bulma asked.
"I've found that that fellow Rumsshi is too idle. It's time to find something for him to do," Vegeta mused.
"You want Rumsshi to train Trunks?" Bulma wiped her brow. "Won't that be a bit too cruel?"
"Trunks, are you afraid of hardship?" Vegeta asked.
"As long as I can become as strong as Dad, I don't care how much hardship I endure," Trunks replied.
"That's good. I'll take you to meet someone. Train well under him, and within a few months, you'll definitely be able to defeat those two androids from the future," Vegeta said.
"Meet who?" Trunks was taken aback.
"You'll know when we get there," Vegeta smiled slightly, placing his hand on Trunks' shoulder, and then called out to Bulma, "Bulma, I'm going now."
"Trunks, good luck!" Bulma encouraged Trunks.
"Yes, Mom!" Trunks nodded.
"Swish!"
Vegeta, taking Trunks with him, used Instant Transmission. In an instant, they appeared on Planet Rumsshi.
