Earth.
Bulla was flying at high speed through the sky with Mai in tow. The two girls soared through the air like dancers in flight.
Bulla teased playfully: "How is it, Mai-sis? Feels amazing to fly, right? Feels good not being tied down by all that boring office work, huh? And soon, you'll get to see my brother! You must be really excited, huh, Mai-sis?"
Bulla's string of questions echoed in Mai's ears. To be honest, this was the first time she'd flown like this, and it was exhilarating.
In this moment, all of her worries vanished into thin air.
What thrilled Mai the most was that she was about to see Trunks, the very man she had been yearning for, day and night. For years, she had always been drawn to Trunks' cool and aloof demeanor.
Mai was deeply confused: why was it that Trunks treated everyone else with such kindness? Even Pilaf and Shu, he was always polite with them.
But when it came to her, Trunks would become cold and distant. And yet… the more aloof he was, the more Mai found herself attracted to him.
Mai had already confessed her feelings about Trunks to Bulla long ago. And ever since then, Bulla had made it her mission to bring the two of them together. But Trunks… he was like a block of wood, completely unresponsive to Mai's feelings.
What Bulla didn't know was that in Trunks' past life, he knew Mai's true age, that she was actually older than his mom.
That was why he kept her at a distance.
Deep down, Trunks just couldn't accept that his potential future wife… was essentially a really old lady.
BOOOOM!
A deafening thunderclap split the skies, snapping Mai out of her thoughts. Bulla stopped in midair and looked toward the heavens. What she saw was a massive black vortex, crackling with lightning, swelling rapidly; it was terrifying.
The very fabric of space trembled, and everything nearby began to twist and distort.
Black energy oozed outward from the vortex like claws, stretching and clawing through the sky.
Suddenly, the center of the vortex tore open, and the rip grew wider and wider.
Space itself was being torn apart.
In the next moment, a figure dressed in black stepped through the rift. At that moment, Bulla's eyes widened, her mouth hanging open, her entire body frozen. It was as if a scythe had scraped her nerves, because the silhouette before her was far too familiar.
"Black… Goku Black?!"
Long-forgotten memories surged back into Bulla's mind like a tidal wave. She never expected the Dark Man to appear in this world. Yes, standing in the sky above them, there was no mistaking it; it was Goku Black.
He stood there, calm and arrogant, arms crossed, looking down on everything below with disdain.
"Oh? I didn't think it would actually work."
"So it is possible to cross timelines, huh?"
"I wonder if the God of Destruction in this world is dead yet…"
"If so, then I can finally implement my plan to erase all of humanity, across timelines."
While Goku Black muttered to himself in narcissistic delight, A silhouette suddenly flashed in front of him.
Despite her petite frame, Bulla exploded with power, her body shot forward, launching a punch at Goku Black's face.
But that fierce-looking punch was easily dodged.
Goku Black paused, taking a slow breath, and glanced at his attacker.
"A human? What a coincidence… walking right into my hands. Then let me start with you. I'll wipe out your filthy species."
As he finished speaking, black energy erupted from his body. In an instant, he grabbed Bulla by the wrist, spinning his body midair with a 360-degree rotation, A powerful wave of pressure burst forth from Goku Black's body.
"You lowly human... go to hell." Just as Goku Black finished speaking, a dazzling golden light exploded from Bulla's body.
Lightning crackled wildly around her as her short blue hair shot upward. In the very next moment, Bulla instantly powered up to Super Saiyan 2.
Goku Black's pupils twitched, this girl was also a Saiyan?!
"You bastard Dark Freak! Go to hell!!"
A faint light rapidly gathered in Bulla's hands, it swelled in size, and a Final Flash blasted Goku Black thousands of kilometers away.
Gasping for breath, Goku Black barely recovered, yet Bulla wasn't planning on letting him off easy.
She darted after him, a clenched iron fist surging with fury.
Goku Black roared in frustration: "Damn it! You seem to know me?!"
Tears welled up in Bulla's eyes as she shouted back: "Monster! Even if you turned to ash, I'd still recognize you!"
Her golden aura surged as she threw another devastating punch toward him. At that moment, Goku Black transformed into a Super Saiyan.
"Hmph! Then let me erase you!!"
Two forces spiraled through the sky, their violent fists clashing with terrifying impact.
"Hahaha! Exciting! This is so exhilarating! My body is adapting!"
Even as he was being beaten down, Goku Black showed no signs of retreat; he simply laughed maniacally as the fight escalated.
BOOM!
With a thunderous blast, a terrifying new power suddenly erupted from Goku Black's body. Bulla's body was blown away by the shockwave, flung helplessly toward a nearby mountain range.
"BULLA!!! NO, DON'T!!" Mai let out a piercing scream.
Smoke billowed into the air as Bulla's vision blurred. She staggered to her feet with difficulty, only to see, a man now floating mid-air, radiating a pinkish aura.
Goku Black had transformed into Super Saiyan Rosé!
Mai's appearance caught his attention. He eyed her up and down.
"Oh? You look like someone I used to know… Although… she's already dead. In that case, you, this world's version of her, must die too."
His words ripped open old memories in Bulla's mind, The image of Mai being killed surged through her consciousness.
"BASTARD!! SHUT UP!!" Suddenly, a glowing artificial moon appeared in Bulla's hand, She was attempting to transform into Super Saiyan 4!
[Please... this time, let it succeed!]
Years ago, she had used the Dragon Balls to regrow her tail. But her body wasn't strong enough to complete the transformation into Super Saiyan 4.
Now, she placed all her hope in this form.
Yet to become Super Saiyan 4, she still had to undergo the Golden Great Ape phase, And clearly, there wasn't enough time.
Goku Black's hand had already begun forming an energy beam.
Mai was in mortal danger! She didn't even know what to do anymore.
A pink energy blast surged from Goku Black's fingertips.
"NO!! MAI-SIS!!" Bulla screamed and shook her head wildly in despair.
The more she panicked, the more Goku Black seemed to enjoy it. Just as he believed Mai was certainly going to die, A handsome figure suddenly appeared like a savior, shielding Mai with his body.
Mai's tightly wound nerves loosened. Her lips trembled, and tears finally fell from her eyes when she saw the back of Trunks.
"Trunks..."
