This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!

On a distant planet in the vast universe, a group of alien creatures resembling squirrels were frolicking and chasing one another in a dense forest.

Amidst the forest, a rusty escape pod lay half-buried under a thick layer of fallen branches and leaves. Through the grime, one could vaguely make out the silhouette of a woman lying inside.

5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

As the timer on the pod counted down to zero, a series of rapid beeps sounded from the device. Suddenly, a cloud of reactivation gas billowed out, filling the surroundings.

After a moment, with a click and a hiss, the pod slowly opened. The nearby alien creatures, startled by the noise, scattered in all directions.

A gentle ray of sunlight poured into the pod, illuminating the woman inside, who gradually opened her eyes.

The woman had short, sleek hair, a striking face, and was dressed in the signature battle armor of the Saiyans.

It was Celipa!

Her icy gaze swept the area, and as she awakened, a powerful aura surged from her body, propelling her into the sky in an instant.

"Damn brat! How dare you ambush me!"

"Sirus! Where are you? Get out here! Come out now!"

Her fury erupted uncontrollably. Balls of energy shot out from her hands, exploding in all directions and tearing through the sky and land.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Thick clouds of dust and fiery waves engulfed the once lush and vibrant forest, reducing it to a scorched wasteland within moments.

"Ha… ha…"

Gasping for breath, Celipa knew full well that Sirus, the brat who had ambushed her, couldn't possibly still be here. He had likely fled to some unknown corner of the universe by now.

But she was furious beyond words!

That damned Sirus—always acting submissive—had completely fooled her. His sudden ambush had turned the tables on her. If Bardock and Toma found out, she'd never hear the end of it!

"Sirus, you little rat, don't let me catch you!"

Clenching her fists tightly, Celipa vowed to make him pay when she found him.

After venting her anger, Celipa finally calmed down. She began surveying her surroundings.

The forest was now unrecognizable, utterly destroyed by her rampage. She couldn't even tell where she was.

If only her scouter hadn't been destroyed by Sirus. With it, she could have contacted Bardock, Toma, or the Saiyan logistics base. But now, she had no choice but to investigate the area herself.

Unleashing her aura, Celipa randomly chose a direction and sped off into the horizon…

Several hours later—

Swoosh!

Celipa halted mid-flight, hovering over a familiar wasteland of scorched earth.

After circling the planet for hours, she had come full circle and returned to her starting point.

Celipa confirmed that this was not Planet Vegeta, which wasn't surprising. But this planet was shockingly primitive, lacking even a hint of advanced civilization.

"Where the hell has that brat sent me?"

Irritated and restless, Celipa descended to the ground. Searching through the wreckage of the forest, she eventually found the battered and broken escape pod.

The pod was severely damaged, partly from age and partly from her earlier outburst. Despite its state, Celipa managed to power it on to access some of its recorded data.

Desperate to find a way off this planet, she began reviewing the information.

But as she read through the records, Celipa's expression grew darker and darker.

She had been in stasis for 25 years!

Meanwhile, on another side of the universe, Yuujin had promised to help Vegeta achieve the Super Saiyan transformation, and he never went back on his word.

Every day, in addition to training with Goku to further master his own Super Saiyan form, Yuujin dedicated time to Vegeta's training.

Though transforming into a Super Saiyan couldn't be achieved through training alone, it was undeniable that the stronger one became, the easier it was to transform.

Yuujin had achieved his transformation by pushing himself to the brink of death and experiencing overwhelming fear. Goku had transformed through an intense burst of rage after believing Yuujin had died. However, neither of these methods seemed suitable for Vegeta. Fortunately, Yuujin had another plan: leveraging Vegeta's intense pride.

As he trained Vegeta, Yuujin couldn't help but enjoy the experience of pushing her to her limits. Watching her rapid growth each day filled him with joy.

Yuujin never feared Vegeta surpassing him in strength. On the contrary, her growth only made her more valuable to him.

Six months passed in this fulfilling and eventful routine.

Yuujin and Goku had not only mastered the ability to transform into Super Saiyans at will but had also made significant progress toward achieving full-power Super Saiyan forms. Both their base and transformed combat power had grown exponentially.

During this time, Vegeta's improvement was also remarkable. Although she hadn't yet achieved Super Saiyan, Yuujin estimated that it would only take another six months at most.

One day, while Yuujin, Goku, Chi-Chi, and Vegeta were training in the dojo, Bulma and Mai descended from the sky to join them.

"Bulma, what's up?"

Wrapping an arm around Bulma's waist, Yuujin kissed her forehead and asked.

As Yuujin's wife and the goddess-queen of the temple, Bulma and Tights were always busy with their respective tasks. It was rare for them to interrupt training sessions like this, so it must have been something important.

"You scoundrel, Yuujin. We just got a message from Earth's base. The Frieza Ship is complete."

"Those crazy women have started assembling the modified Frieza. Do you want to go check it out?"

Bulma playfully rolled her eyes at Yuujin before delivering the news.

A flicker of excitement flashed in Yuujin's eyes as he recalled the project.

With his focus on training lately, he had nearly forgotten about it. Now that the Frieza Ship was finished, he was eager to see it.

"Of course I'll go. Why wouldn't I?"

Turning to Vegeta, he asked, "Do you want to come along?"

Vegeta, who was already aware of Yuujin's plans to turn Frieza into a battleship, smirked coldly.

"Of course. I wouldn't miss this for the world."

After all, seeing the former emperor of the universe reduced to such a state promised to be a highly entertaining spectacle, one she was very much looking forward to.
