Dragon Ball: Escaping from Planet Vegeta

"Aunt Gine, have you made up your mind? Not disturbing Kakarot's life? Just protect him from the shadows?" Talot asked Gine again to confirm as he looked at her.

Gine nodded slightly in response. She didn't speak, but her expression and eyes conveyed her answer.

Only two days had passed, and Talot couldn't fathom how Gine had come to this decision.

In any case, the turn of events was quite unexpected.

He had known Gine would eventually agree, but he hadn't anticipated it happening so soon.

After telling Gine everything about Kakarot's current situation, she had actually calmed down.

It seemed that knowing Kakarot was still alive and living well had lifted a huge weight off her shoulders.

Looking back at that moment, when Gine had asked him for advice, Talot had answered, "If it were me, I would go see him and acknowledge him, but I wouldn't try to forcefully change or control the life he's living now. After all, everyone has their own path to walk."

Perhaps it was because Talot had been subtly influencing Gine's thoughts all along.

After experiencing so much, and with the passage of time, Gine was no longer the same as before.

Now, with her husband missing and Raditz nowhere to be found, Gine had developed a mindset where she was willing to give everything for her younger son.

As for Kakarot's future, she didn't have any grand expectations for him to achieve great things. All she wanted was for him to live a peaceful life.

...

Mount Paozu.

Talot brought Gine and Salari here at last.

Since the decision had already been made beforehand, both Gine and Salari remained quite calm.

Despite Kakarot not recognizing them anymore, their feelings for Kakarot remain unchanged.

Fortunately, while his memories were gone, the instinctive closeness that comes from the bloodline still remains.

They spent a few days at Mount Paozu, and after receiving a message from Brief, Talot left and returned to West City.

As for Gine and Salari, they settled down at Mount Paozu.

Mother and son reunited, though the current Goku does not understand this concept.

Originally, Gine planned to not acknowledge the relationship for the time being, but after seeing her son, the situation changed entirely.

Of course, this was after she had restrained herself. In the end, the reason they reunited so quickly was due to something Son Gohan said that taught Gine and Talot an important lesson.

From then on, she chose not to interfere in Kakarot's growth but decided to quietly accompany him.

For example, Gine could remain here as an ordinary mother, quietly accompanying her child without drawing attention.

Maybe with Gine's presence, Goku could grow into an even better person.

Gine accepted this life. After all, she was quite open-minded; otherwise, how could she have accepted her son being named Goku by Son Gohan?

After all, it was indirectly because of Son Gohan that Kakarot had fallen off the cliff and lost his memories...

But Son Gohan had also saved her son.

Seeing it this way, Gine, in a sense, was grateful to Son Gohan.

Of course, there was also another factor: Gine saw how close Kakarot had become to this old man.

So, she accepted the name Goku.

In the end, it was the reality that Goku is Kakarot, and Kakarot is also Goku.

...

West City.

After arriving at the lab in Bulma family's backyard, Talot immediately went to look for Brief.

It had been some time since they last met, and Brief had made significant progress in his research.

First, there was progress in the construction of the spaceship. According to the best-case scenario he envisioned, the new model would be ready within a few months.

The second breakthrough was with the Gravity Chamber. While researching the spaceship, Brief had a sudden flash of inspiration on how to improve it. Now, the Gravity Device has been upgraded to support up to one hundred times Earth's gravity.

This wasn't the limit, though. Given more time, the Gravity Chamber could be further enhanced. Based on the calculations Bulma helped with, the final gravity level could reach between three hundred and five hundred times Earth's gravity.

These two pieces of news left Talot incredibly excited.

He was also amazed at how much help Bulma had been, despite her young age.

A genius is a genius—there's no comparing them to ordinary people.

At least in this area, Talot felt that even a hundred of himself couldn't compare to one of Bulma's fingers.

Since Talot couldn't contribute much to the research itself, he tried to help Brief as much as possible by offering ideas and creative suggestions.

These ideas naturally came from the knowledge he had as a transmigrator.

Additionally, he brought Kakarot's spaceship, the one that had crashed on Mount Paozu, to Brief for research.

He hoped that this would allow Brief to build an even better spaceship sooner.

As for the spaceship that Kami used to come to Earth, it was ignored.

The spaceships currently available were already among the most advanced models used by the Frieza Force. Even with Kami's spaceship, it would only fill in one to ten percent of the gaps in their knowledge.

That minor breakthrough wasn't worth it compared to giving Brief more freedom to innovate. With enough time, he might create something truly surprising.

...

The next two months passed in a blur.

Talot returned to his previous intense training regimen.

Aside from training, Talot had little else to occupy his time.

The only thing that has changed for the better is that the Gravity Chamber has been separated, allowing him to train alone at one hundred times Earth's gravity for extended periods.

Salari also trained in the Gravity Chamber daily, though she used the earlier version with fifty times gravity.

Sometimes, Talot would train with Salari, but in order to progress faster, he would often train without her.

Salari understood that she would slow Talot down, so after completing her own training, she would quietly wait for him to finish.

Simply put, these two months had been a time for Salari to improve herself while silently accompanying Talot, offering him care and assistance whenever he needed it.

Power level 3000!

That's the level Salari had painstakingly reached after two months of hard work.

She had adapted to fifty times gravity, and though not perfectly, it was an impressive feat for a six-year-old.

After all, not everyone could be compared to the adult versions of Goku and Vegeta from the original work.

Not even Talot.

After these two months, Talot had gradually progressed, but he had only managed to adapt to seventy times gravity.

He completely broke through sixty times gravity in the first month and broke through seventy times gravity in the second.
