Dragon Ball The Next

"Fight me more seriously," Caulifla said as she threw rapid punches at Goten.

"We are not fighting. We are sparring so that you become more used to using Super Saiyan without having to tire your body out." Goten explained.

"Energy Fist." She said as she tried to punch Goten with a fist enveloped in ki.

Goten caught the fist.

Then he punched her in the stomach.

Knocking her out of her Super Saiyan form.

"Kale. How long was she able to hold out her Super Saiyan form?" Goten asked Kale who was watching the spar.

"Sis. Are you okay?" Kale said as she came running towards Caulifla to aid her while ignoring Goten.

"I am fine. Let's go again." Caulifla said as she immediately got up.

"Rest for a few seconds first. Preserving your energy is important if you ever want to achieve Super Saiyan 2." Goten said.

"Kale. How long did she maintain her Super Saiyan form?" Goten asked her again.

"Ummm. I... I forgot to stop the stopwatch." She said as she handed the stopwatch that she was holding to Goten.

"Haaaaa." Goten sighed in disappointment.

Not only did she fail to become a Super Saiyan but her head is always preoccupied with Caulifla.

Sometimes Kale ignored the tasks that she was assigned because she was always looking at Caulifla.

Especially when she is either injured or has a disadvantage in the spar, which is usually the situation.

"It should be around two minutes," Goten said.

"Are you fine with her being the one to check the timer? Do you need me to replace her with another one of my followers?" Caulifla asked Goten.

"Please. Sis. Give me another chance. I swear It won't happen again." Kale apologized to Caulifla.

She looked like she was about to cry just from a single sentence for Caulifla.

"Fine. Just don't let it happen again." Cailifla said to Kale.

"Hey. I am going to get some water. Do you want some?" Caulifla asked Goten.

Goten nodded.

"Then I will get an extra bottle for you." She said as she walked away to get some water.

Kale glared at Goten like she was very displeased with him after Caulifla walked away.

What? Is she made because I hurt Caulifla? Or is she mad because Caulifla scolded her? Goten thought in his mind.

She knows that I am just training her. If she is such an unreasonable person to the point that being mad over such a trivial matter I might not be able to get along with her.

He realises that although it's easy to befriend Caulifla, Kale is simply someone who he will never be able to get along.

Her being shy most of the time and not very outspoken doesn't help either.

"Hey." Then Caulifla who just returned called him out.

"Catch." She said as she threw the water bottle that she bought towards Goten.

I wonder how Trunks is also doing right now. Goten thought as he drank the water that Caulifla had just given him.

--------------------------

At that time.

Just like how Caulifla was able to become a Super Saiyan the King was also able to obtain the transformation.

Of course, not every random Saiyan could become a Super Saiyan but he, Caulifla and even Cabba are more than just ordinary Saiyans.

They are considered very powerful and talented even by the Standards of Universe 6 Saiyans.

But Talents still have limits as the King also was unable to advance to Super Saiyan 2 in such a short period.

But he does not need it in the first place as he already has the base power that can rival Trunks even in his strongest form.

Adding an x50 multiplier on top of that was an overkill.

King Salada sent Trunks towards the ground with a powerful overhead kick.

Making him hit the ground at a very fast speed and causing him to cough up some blood.

Not only that Trunks was also knocked out of his Super Saiyan God form because he sustained too much damage from sparring against the King.

How? How did this happen? How could someone who just became a Super Saiyan defeat me this easily? Trunks thought in his mind.

He was not holding back his power so it was very surprising that he lost to the King.

Trunks knew he was lagging behind Goten, Goku and Vegeta.

His strongest form was comparable to Super Saiyan Blue. But Goku and Vegeta have already surpassed that state a while ago with Evolution and Kaioken respectively.

He also knows that Goten would not also lose to the King like he just did.

This defeat is not something that he can just accept. He knows that he has to become even stronger.

I have to ask Whis to train me when I get back. He thought in his mind.

"That was a great exercise." The King said as he descended to the ground near Trunks to help him get up.

-----------------------------

At that time in the universe 7.

"So you are here too." 18 said as she looked at 17.

Both of them were waiting at the Capsule cooperation lobby.

"What? Am I not supposed to be here?" 17 replied.

"Both of you. Stop trying to fight each other." Gohan said as he stopped the two from engaging in a verbal fight.

"Wait. Is that?" 17 said as he saw a little girl standing behind Gohan.

It was Pan.

"Is that your daughter?" 17 said as he walked towards Pan to lift her.

"You like kids? No 17." Gohan asked.

"Of course he likes kids. When Marron was born he called me for the first time since Cell's death." 18 said to Gohan.

"...." 17 didn't say anything back.

"Well, you didn't even give a call when my kids were born so I guess we are even." 17 said after being quiet for a few seconds.

"How is that even? What are they even talking about?" Gohan said as he looked at the two androids.

"Don't think too much, they are always like that," Krillin said to Gohan.
