Sunset stood up with a groan, Goku giving her a Senzu Bean which she sued to heal herself. She smirked as Bulma stepped down “You caught me off guard with that, I need to be really careful when fighting you.”

Before another word could be spoken, a huge explosion came from one of the buildings.
Everyone ran in to see Krillin glared at the remains of a green monster with wings, a hole stuck through it’s chest Jackie standing next to him. Krillin rolled his eyes as “This creature tried to kill me. It wasn’t much of a threat.”

Jackie waved a piece of paper “The creature had this, it has a strange symbol on it.”

Roshi picked it up and froze “This is the symbol of the Demon King Piccolo! He must have somehow escaped!”

Sunset and Goku looked at each other before closing their eyes, they smirked “We found him. He has quite a high energy signature and hasn’t bothered to hide it. We are going to wipe him out.” Before another person could say a word, the pair flew off at tremendous speed.

Roshi gritted his teeth “They don’t know just how dangerous Piccolo is!”

Sunset and Goku flew towards a ship with the Pilaf symbol on it. They burst in the roof, an old wrinkled green being similar to Kami. Sunset’s eyes narrowed at the figure “You are the Demon King Piccolo aren’t you!” A being that looked like a light green bipedal Pterodactyl was about to speak but Goku blasted him into ash.

The Demon King waved his hand ignoring his adviser being turned to ash “Yes, I am. You to must be the ones who killed…” He coughed up blood as Sunset’s fist had punched through his chest.

Sunset pulled out her fist and sighed “I was hoping for a good fight. What a disappointment.” The Demon King’s mouth stretched as he shot out a large egg into the distance. Sunset and Goku ignored it as they grabbed the body of the Piccolo and flew off leaving the three members of the Pilaf Gang dumbfounded.

Sunset and Goku returned tossing the body onto the ground “Is this him.”

Roshi’s jaw dropped “How did you beat him!”

Goku frowned “He was weak and frail. You gave this guy way too much credit.”

Kami’s voice filled the air “I noticed you defeated Demon King Piccolo but he has created a younger copy of himself somewhere. You see my life force is connected to Piccolo as we were once the same entity but we separated. As such his heir must be a younger version of him who reincarnated. I can’t track him, I have a feeling he will be training to defeat you two.”

Sunset smirked “That means we must train harder than ever! We will be ready!”

Bulma grinned “I will as well, I can’t fall behind!” She then frowned “I better get going, me and Twilight have a dinner planned tonight.” Bulma ran out heading to her transport.

Goku obliterated the body of the Demon King Piccolo with a ki blast “I’m not taking any chances.”

Meanwhile as Bulma got into her craft, a young orange fox girl with magenta hair pointed a gun at her head “Give me your money.” In a single swift movement Bulma had the gun in her hand, Bulma then turned to the young girl. Her fur was scruffy and her clothes torn, Bulma could see several scars on her face “How old are you?”

The girl looked down “I’m seven.”

Bulma’s expression darkened as she pressed her hand to the girl’s chest. She could feel the girl’s ribs, they were pressing against the skin. Bulma took a deep breath “You are coming to our place, you are going to get proper meal in you.”

The girl’s eyes lit up “REALLY!”

Bulma nodded with a smile “Yes, come on. Do you mind telling me your name?”

The girl nodded “My name is Scootaloo” she then slumped “I have been living on the streets since I was three. My parents were leading a movement to oppose the Red Ribbon Army when an Assassin named Taopaipai murdered them. I only survived because I hid under my bed.”

Bulma frowned “I have no idea, I have been following and assassinations have gone down by a lot since a short time before the Tournament. I assume considering he was working for Red Ribbon Army Sunset or Goku brought his end when they collected the Dragon Balls.”

They soon arrived at Capsule Corp, Bulma smiled “Welcome to Capsule Corp, Scootaloo.”

Scootaloo looked around in awe at the advanced technology running the building, Twilight who had made her own way home walked and gave Bulma a mighty hug. Bulma looked at Scootaloo “Who is this?”

Bulma smiled “This is Scootaloo. I was thinking of taking her in, I hope you don’t mind.”

Twilight’s eyes narrowed as she saw the girl’s ribs were visible. She then shook her head and smiled “I have no problem with that, you did the right thing. Now let’s get some food ready for her.”

The duo walked into their kitchen with Scootaloo following them, Scootaloo fidgeted “Do you two really mean what you said?”

Twilight smiled as she crouched down and gave the Scootaloo a light hug “We mean it. I promise you that we will take care of you as best we can. Now can you please wait outside while we cook.”

One hour later, the come out with a large several courses of simple food and put it in front of Scootaloo. Scootaloo digs in quickly consuming all the food on the table, Bulma giggled “She reminds me of Goku.”

An older man in a lab coat with a moustache chuckled to himself “How was the tournament?”

Bulma grinned “I was the victor, came up with some tricky techniques that earned me the win. If it was until knock out it might not have been enough but ring out was definitely possible.”

Scootaloo blinked “Who is he?”

Bulma smiled “This is my father, Dr Briefs.” She then gestured to Scootaloo “Dad, this is Scootaloo. If we’re lucky she will be your newest granddaughter.” Dr Brief’s eyes lit up as he dashed out of the room, trying to find his wife.
