Dragon Ball Xenoverse - Chapter 3
“This is the time point I need to repair… then, let’s go!” Pica said, speeding up towards the white bubble.
Pica stopped beside the white bubble, noticing a clear difference between it and the other white bubbles. This one was surrounded by a faint dark purple mist, indicating someone had already begun altering this period in history.
“Let’s go…” Pica was about to enter the white bubble when a sinister laugh came from behind.
“Tsk tsk tsk… isn’t this the esteemed Time Patroller?”
Pica turned to see a mysterious figure. The figure wore a black robe with a hood that obscured his face, a black-purple crystal necklace around his neck, and held a black spear with a dark purple gem embedded in the middle of the spearhead, which bore a trident symbol.
“Who are you?” Pica was shocked. This person had appeared behind him without a sound, indicating he was several times stronger than Pica. Since becoming a Saiyan, Pica’s sensitivity to external threats had increased significantly. If someone harbored malice towards him, Pica could sense it immediately. But this person appeared like a ghost, and Pica didn’t feel anything.
“Me? You ask who I am? Hahaha…” The mysterious figure laughed, “Aren’t you Time Patrollers hunting me everywhere? You don’t know who I am?”
The mysterious figure removed his hood, revealing his face. He had long black hair tied with a leather band, blue skin, snake-like pupils, and a scar running from the corner of his mouth to his forehead.
“I haven’t shown my face for so long that even Time Patrollers don’t know who I am. Seems like I need to make more appearances, hehe,” the mysterious figure mocked.
“What are you here for?” Pica asked loudly.
“Me?” The mysterious figure licked his lips with his tongue, “I’m here to show my face, of course.” He said and fired a ki blast.
“What?” Pica crossed his arms to block the blast.
“Boom”
Pica was blown away by the ki blast.
“Tsk, Time Patrollers are this weak now?” The mysterious figure looked down at Pica.
“I didn’t expect Time Patrollers to be this weak and still able to travel through time for missions.”
“Kid, since you’re so boring, just die for me. Death Destruction Wave, die!” The mysterious figure said, gathering purple energy in one hand and shooting it at Pica.
Pica instinctively dodged, the ki blast grazing him and exploding on a white bubble, the shockwave knocking Pica away.
“Tsk, he dodged.” The mysterious figure looked at Pica disdainfully.
The shockwave from the explosion knocked Pica unconscious, sending him flying towards a nearby bubble he originally intended to enter.
In an instant, Pica entered the bubble.
“Tsk, he escaped. Too bad I can’t enter, or you would’ve died horribly.” The mysterious figure disappeared into the time tunnel.
In the Scroll Library of the Time Nest, Trunks sensed the disturbance in the time tunnel and quickly took out a staff, recording the scene of Pica being blasted away by the mysterious figure.
“It’s him, I can’t believe it’s him. He’s back,” Trunks said in shock, grabbing a communication device. “Call Phil for me; I have a mission for him.”
“Yes, Mr. Trunks,” came Lint’s voice from the device.
“I hope Pica will be alright.” Trunks stared at the sky, frowning.
In a dense forest, two children’s voices were heard.
“Krillin, look at this person. He seems badly injured.”
“Yeah, Goku, why don’t you take him to Master Roshi’s house? Otherwise, he might not make it.”
“Okay, Krillin, wait here. I’ll take him to Master Roshi’s house and then we can continue our competition.”
Goku picked up Pica, “Flying Nimbus!”
A yellow cloud flew rapidly towards Goku. Goku jumped onto the cloud, “Krillin, I’m off.”
“Be careful,” Krillin waved, thinking, ‘Who would wait for you, you bumpkin? I’ll find the stone first and Master Roshi will teach me Turtle School martial arts, you idiot, hahaha.’ Krillin ran off laughing.
On a small island in the ocean.
“Master Roshi!” Goku placed Pica on the ground and shouted.
“Oh, Goku, did you find the stone?” An old man with a white beard walked out of the house. He wore sunglasses, carried a staff, had a slight hunch, and wore a large turtle shell on his back, holding a tissue to his bleeding nose.
“No, Krillin and I found someone badly injured in the forest. Krillin told me to bring him to you. Here he is,” Goku pointed at Pica.
“Idiot!” Master Roshi hit Goku on the head with his staff, “Now, go find the stone immediately, or no dinner for you tonight.”
“Ouch, alright, Master Roshi. I’ll go now. Take care of this person,” Goku said, rubbing his head, and flew back to the forest on the Flying Nimbus.
“Who is this person? He looks familiar,” Master Roshi muttered, carrying Pica inside, “Goku is too pure-minded. I hope this person isn’t a bad guy.”
“Launch, help me bandage this young man’s wounds, hehe…” Master Roshi leered at the blue-haired Launch, his hands making grabbing motions.
“His injuries are severe,” blue-haired Launch said, taking a medical kit from the cabinet. Soon, Pica’s wounds were bandaged.
“Launch, after bandaging him, can you bandage me too, hehe,” Master Roshi leered at Launch’s rear, smirking.
“No, you’re not injured. I’ll make dinner now; it’s getting dark, and Goku and Krillin will be back soon,” blue-haired Launch said, heading to the kitchen.
Master Roshi sneakily followed her.
A fly buzzed past Launch’s nose, “Achoo!” Launch’s hair turned blonde. She looked at Master Roshi, “Old pervert, what are you doing? Die!” She pulled out two submachine guns and fired at Master Roshi.
“Ah, so scary…”
