make progress much faster with the search alone! I promise you, we will bring your father back and make sure that he is like before! And that is how long you wait with your mother and the others here for our return. Deal? "


"I Agree." Bra nodded, then hugged Goku. "Please find my dad!"


"We will, my little one." he smiled and hugged you back.




"I wish Vegeta could be as good with his children as your husband, Chichi!" Bulma sighed sadly. "He never shows you his true feelings out of pride. Only with Bra does he keep getting weak. But she loves him too, idolatrously despite his rough and harsh behavior!"

"Daughters are usually more attracted to their fathers. It is also said that they come more after you." explained Chichi.




Meanwhile, in the underworld ...


After Uranai Baba had told him everything and witnessed Vegeta's fall, Master Kaio walked thoughtfully around in a circle in front of his house.


"The shadow curse .... you can use it to influence things or processes negatively .... Vegeta's transformation into a military monkey .... I have to approach the whole thing logically ...."


Master Kaio still remembered Goku's first fight against Vegeta. At that time he had seen Vegeta's transformation and knew how it went normally.


"Of course! Vegeta's transformation! It was manipulated by the shadow curse! And that can only be done by someone who is very familiar with this transformation! So only a Sayajin is possible for this! Good. But which one?"


Master Kaio drew circles again. The faithful monkey Bananas watched him with cocked head.

Again he recalled the events of the past. He remembered how Son-Goku first defeated his brother Raddiz and then Nappa.


"This Raddiz is out of the question, he would rather want to take revenge on his brother, but Nappa ..."


Master Kaio suddenly stopped as if he had run into a wall. Then the last moments of the bald Sayajin passed before his eyes. He saw Vegeta grinning maliciously, grabbing Nappa's hand - and the next moment he tossed him high into the air!


"You are not worthy of being a sayajin !!" Vegeta screamed angrily and shot a large ball of energy in the direction of his comrade, which destroyed him moments later!




"That's it!" shouted Master Kaio, punching his palm with his fist. Then he activated the two antenna-like feelers on his head and tried to reach one of the friends.


Kuririn was the first to receive his thoughts.

"Who's speaking?"


"It's me, Master Kaio! Listen, I've got a hot lead! I know who could be the culprit! It's probably Nappa!"


"What-hey, listen here, I have Master Kaio on the line! He claims that Nappa is responsible for the curse! -But of course! Vegeta just dumped him back then! I saw it myself! So in his place I would have every reason to want to wipe him out! "


"So Nappa! - Master Kaio, should I come over and talk to this guy for a few bars?" Now Goku switched on.


"No, I'll take care of that! Just find you Vegeta quickly!"


"I Agree!" Goku nodded.


"Nappa must have put all the hatred he had pent up over the years into this curse - this was the only way it could be effective in this intensity! And this is how this creature from Vegeta came into being!" explained Master Kaio. "It is a product of Nappa's hatred!"


"And how can we deliver Him from this curse?" asked Goku.

"There is only one possibility: Nappa himself has pronounced this curse and only he can take it from him again!"


"Oh no! He never will!" swallowed Kuririn.


"Maybe there is a possibility ... I'll get back to you when the time comes!"


"Thank you, Master Kaio!"




Meanwhile, Gohan gave Trunks useful tips on how to hide his tail. Bulma had plugged the hole in the bottom of his pants with a sewing kit from the glove compartment of your glider.


"It's very simple: wrap it tightly around your waist, put your pants on and nobody will notice." he smiled.


"That's right. Thank you, Gohan."




A few moments later the time had come. The three groups dived down into the gorge and first searched the rock faces.


"Are you flying further into the delta! We'll take over the river to the fork!" Goku shouted and the other two couples flew off downstream.


Then he discovered something.

"Trunks, look!"


Goku scratched something from the rocks with his fingers and showed it to Vegeta's son.


"What's this?"


"Black hair made of Vegeta's fur! Here he hit the rocks before he plunged into the water! The abrasions are clearly visible! He may no longer have a clearly perceptible aura, but we can also close our other senses when searching." Get help. I memorized the weather exactly! Come on! "




"And what are we going to do now?" asked Marron.


"We are waiting." replied Bulma, reaching into her pocket. She took out a can of Hoi Poi capsules, took two out, squeezed them, and threw them on the floor. There was the usual bang and when the smoke cleared there were two tents at the edge of the forest.


"Great, we're going camping! It's just a shame Trunks isn't there!" called Kuririn's daughter.


"You like him very much." Bulma smiled.


"Yes, because he is so brave and strong! And dear!"

The girl blushed a little.


"I think Marron is in love with Trunks!" babbled Bra.


"Nonsense! We're still too young for that! We're just good friends!" replied Marron.


"Come on, children. It's getting late. Time to go to bed. We women take the big tent, you can have the little one, Muten Roshi!" explained Bulma.


"I Agree." the master of the turtles nodded.


"But don't you think about playing the tensioner with us!" warned Chichi.


"Will take care of me!" Muten waved Roshi away.




Those waiting found little sleep that night. Not particularly Bulma and Bra. Especially Trunks little sister kept calling for her father in dreams.


Only then did Bulma realize how much Bra was attached to this rough-legged fellow. She also hoped that her friends would find Vegeta soon and that the curse could be lifted from him. Because despite everything, she didn't want to lose her partner either.In the past few years they had somehow pulled themselves together, although there was always friction between them. But that was part of a partnership.




During the flight, Son-Goku noticed Trunks' pinched face.


"Trunks ..."


"Yes?"


"You were so scared when you got your cock for the first time, am I right?"


The boy nodded.


"That's right. I'm terrified of turning myself into one of those armed monkeys! A wild, uncontrollable monster that tramples everything in its way! My father told me about our wild heritage, but he did has assured me that I will never reach this stage because I was born without a tail. Vegeta said I was too human. He was wrong ... "


Trunks shook himself.


"Do not panic! As I said, it will not happen, you will not become an armed monkey! And if you do, then you, like your father, are able to exercise control over this consciousness!"And now don't think about it anymore! Better concentrate on the search! "


"You are right! We have to find my father before anyone else is harmed!"
