last farewell, but Trunks felt set back by this event. Only one difference brought him back to the reality of the second parting. With the first, they had known how long they would be gone, had calculated exactly a year that it would come. But now they knew nothing, neither how long they were going to be away, nor whether they would ever come back at all. Although Goten was still full of optimism and actually believed that he would be back in time for his favorite show, his friends did not share this view, least of all the Trunks and Cal siblings.

They had found out a lot about this Taylor from Vegeta's reports, which they now had to recapture and most of them they didn't like at all. In Cal's eyes, the man was not only cruel but plain and simple sick. Her mind was torn between fear and revenge on her mother's death. At the same time, however, she felt happier than ever before. Finally she was with her real family, to which she also counted Bulma. In the two days she hadn’t had much of a chance to get to know her better, but what she said was enough for her.


Trunks, on the other hand, was happy with his half-sister, even if he sometimes had to pull himself together. He still saw Cal as the only young woman he had ever loved. The shock was still there, but it was slowly subsiding. But unlike Cal, he hadn't had a clarifying conversation with his father. They had so parted with no apology from anyone.Trunks was secretly okay with that, even if he wasn't going to accuse his father of having withheld his fatherhood from Cal for so long. Still, he wanted him to take the first step, just as he had done with his sister.


Not all Z-Fighters were present, many wanted to stay out of it, especially since they immediately realized that they had no chance against Taylor. Only the Saiyajins were complete. In addition, Kuririn came with his family, and Marron threw venomous looks around. She did not know herself why she had accepted it and had come here with her parents. Everyone was nice to her, but that was exactly what puked her again. They did their best to cover up the fact, and that was that Bra was still gone. They couldn't over-paint that even with their friendly talk.


Maron's gaze went back and forth between Goten and the girl he had kissed the night before. Hate and despair at the same time seething inside her, her eyes were sparkling with anger.She would have loved to make a scene here in front of everyone, would have yelled at the blue-haired girl as she could, seducing Goten, that ole bitch. But she didn't want to dare to do that, because a scene would blow the mask of indifference she had painstakingly built up into a thousand pieces. So, apart from the expression on her eyes, her face remained indifferent, just the expression that worried Kuririn so much that he had looked too deeply into the bottle of his best friend.


"Take care of yourself and inform me about the situation!" Goku said to his son, who was hanging in the arms of his mother with an agonizing expression on his face, who was howling once again with snot and water. Both looked disgruntled, even more alike than usual.


"Don't worry. We'll rock the child." Goten intentionally left out whether the answer was for his father or his mother. More likely both, because that's exactly how Chichi had seen it.Sniffing, she slowly parted from her son, giving her husband an angry look.


"That's what you get from your fighting. Everyone goes into the fight, once it was Son Gohan and now it was already Son Goten. Does that never stop? Have you ever thought that your sons could get killed? No, on You don't think like that, it's always the same with you. Your damn naivety drives me crazy, I'm going crazy with worry. And now he's a Guardian too and has to fight his life. He should but become a scholar. But of course you don't think about that, you only think about yourself, you don't care about anything else! " she yelled at her husband, putting an arm almost protectively around her youngest son's shoulder.


He looked at his father with raised eyebrows, who was still too perplexed by the outburst of anger to even answer it.

"Yesterday when we came back you showed off to Dea and you were proud that I am a Guardian." Goten tried to allay his mother's anger.


"Yes, yesterday nobody knew that it was forever. But your father overlooked that again. He's no use either. He can save the world, but nothing else. When his family needs him is he again somewhere else! "


By now everyone had turned their gaze to the little family, and all conversations had broken off. Some faces showed a compassionate grin, but others, like in Cal and Zen's cases, which Chichi's outbursts had never seen in action, had a dull expression of horror in their eyes.


"It looks like a family that is about to divorce ..." Cal whispered to her half-brother. He was able to suppress a laugh with difficulty. "Don't worry, little one. It's a typical argument that happens once a day with the Sons."

"Oh come on Chichi, how can you say something like that." Goku had composed himself by now, had stepped over to his wife and put his hand on her shoulder. With his usual calm voice he tried to settle the argument and to slow down Chichi's anger. "Of course I care about you, on the contrary. But if our son does nothing, we will all be in danger. Besides, think of Bra, should we just let her down?"


"And why ..." she hissed, her eyes sparkling with anger, and slapped his hand aside. "Don't you take this proud would-be prince, your little super devil friend and all the others who belong to your team and save Bra?"


Vegeta had clenched his fists in view of the insult and wanted to reply, but was held back by his wife, who put a reassuring hand on his upper arm and spoke to him. Because you know Chichi and she probably has one of her dropouts again.Nevertheless, the hatred crept up inside him, this woman would leave his daughter in the lurch.


"We do that too, honey, but right now the four of them are the only ones who can give us information about this Taylor. Don't worry, we'll get in touch and help you if there are ever any complications it's still the dragon balls! "


"Dragonballs again and again Dragonballs. I wonder what you would do without these balls! My son shouldn't die again!" burst out of her before she collapsed and dropped to her knees. Goku and Goten were immediately ready, and Gohan, who actually wanted to stay out of the conversation, jumped past Kuririn to his mother, who was crying loudly again.


"Mom, don't worry now. Nothing will happen to me, I promise you!" Goten tried to calm his mother down. He hated watching her cry. Sure, it happened a lot with Chichi, but every time he got weak knees.After all, it was his mother ... what son wouldn't get a dropout?


“Exactly, Son Goten can take care of himself.” Gohan spoke to her, while Goku just stood by, indecisively, exchanging an embarrassed look with his friends. Finally, however, he bent down, gently cupped his wife's chin with his hand and lifted it slightly so that she had to look at him. With the other he wiped away the tears. An encouraging smile played on his face.


"I know you always hated it when we went into battle. But sometimes you have to fight. We always did it for you, for you and all the other people, to have a bright future. And that you want Bra too, don't you? You want Bra to come back and everything is peaceful again. Believe me, Son Goten is taking care of himself. After all, he's grown up enough to make decisions that we have to respect.If he says he's coming back, so will he. He promised you, remember! "


"Doesn't she have a lever to turn it off ... stupid cow!" Vegeta growled annoyed, but wisely so quietly that only Bulma, Trunks and his daughter could hear him. The two teenagers grinned, although Cal's grin was still a bit bland. But Bulma angrily poked him in the side that he flinched for a moment. "Yes, only a real man can take her that long!" Bulma said with a cheeky grin.


“Does that mean I'm not a real man!” Vegeta stared at his wife with a mixture of anger and astonishment. He would not have expected such a move from her.


Bulma's grin widened as her index finger dug into his chest. "That ..." She smiled with shining eyes, "My dear, you said!"


The proud prince wanted to answer, but was interrupted by Marron, who stepped into the middle with an angry step.Tears glittered in her eyes, tears of anger. Her fists were clenched and if she could build up a ki, it would have swollen a lot. But even so you could see that she was about to burst, her mask of indifference got thick tears.


"You damn idiots, how can you hesitate for a second. Bra is all alone in the hands of a madman and you won't lift a finger to free her. What a limp bunch you are. Hard to believe that you would-be fighters already Saved the world a couple of times! ”Her voice was just a breath of herself. Even her parents were shocked at the hateful tone of voice that was strongly reminiscent of the C-18, the C-18, as she was still under the influence of the Red Ribbon Army. For once, everyone stared at Marron before a few of the Z-fighters bowed their heads guiltily.


Goku looked sadly at his friend's daughter and Chichi's eyes also showed a guilty glow.

"Don't worry ... uh ... Marron is your name, isn't it?" Cal held up his hand soothingly and smiled warmly. Even so, her face remained serious and full of determination, so that the next few words almost sounded like an oath, an oath for life. "We'll bring Bra back, I promise you!"


"You can put your promises anywhere else!" replied the blond-haired girl coldly, she would never forgive her for beating her in the head like that. She had taken the only person from her who had meant
