Preparation for foreseen future

The Earth stretched out like a masterpiece beneath Ayaka's feet, its beauty untouched by the chaos brewing in other corners of the universe. As her journey took her to a rugged plateau, the serenity of the landscape was quickly broken by the thunderous roar of a dinosaur, emerging from the shadows with predatory intent.

The beast's drooling maw lunged toward her, a terrifying display of raw, primal instinct. Ayaka, with an air of nonchalance, leapt into the air, avoiding its charge with effortless grace. The dinosaur smashed into a towering stone pillar, the impact shaking the ground and sending boulders tumbling like dice. It shook off its daze and turned its sights back to Ayaka, snarling as it prepared another attack.

"You've got a big head and no brains, huh?" Ayaka quipped, a smirk dancing on her lips. With a flash of movement, she vanished from the dinosaur's sight, reappearing beneath it in a blur of speed. Her fist collided with its jaw in an upward arc, the force of the strike sending the beast sprawling to the ground with a whimper. It lay motionless, defeated.

Ayaka dusted off her hands, her tone mocking yet playful. "That's what you get for messing with me. Better luck next time."

Leaving the dazed creature behind, she turned her attention to her Dragon Ball radar. The soft beeping guided her to a nearby cluster of dead shrubs. Her eyes narrowed as she maneuvered through the tangled brush, slicing through branches with fluid precision. A glint of sunlight caught her eye, and there it was—an orange-red Dragon Ball nestled within the twisted foliage.

"Gotcha!" Ayaka exclaimed, plucking the ball from its hiding spot. But her excitement dimmed as she counted the stars. "Not the Four-Star. Ox-King can have this one."

Stowing the Dragon Ball in her pouch, Ayaka took to the sky once more, the radar's pulsing signals leading her toward the next prize. The wind tore past her face as she soared across canyons and cliffs, her eyes sharp, her spirit unyielding. The journey brought her to a labyrinthine canyon, its floor fractured with crisscrossing gullies that plunged into shadowy depths.

"This'll be a pain," she muttered, eyeing the chaotic landscape. The radar's persistent beeping confirmed her suspicion—the Dragon Ball was buried deep within one of the crevices.

Hovering high above the canyon, Ayaka gathered her energy. The air around her crackled with power, her palm glowing with an intense blue light. "Let's make this easier," she said with a grin, unleashing a devastating ki blast that roared toward the ground like a meteor.

The resulting explosion was a spectacle of destruction. Rocks erupted into the sky, a shockwave rippling through the canyon with an ear-splitting roar. Dust and debris blanketed the area, the once-majestic terrain transformed into a sprawling ruin. Ayaka descended slowly, surveying the flattened landscape with a sheepish grin.

"Oops. Might've overdone it," she admitted, pulling out the radar. Relief washed over her as the signal appeared unscathed. She methodically sifted through the rubble, using precise ki bursts to unearth the Dragon Ball. When it finally emerged, Ayaka caught it mid-air, her lips curving into a smile of satisfaction.

"Six-Star. Close, but not quite."

Stashing the ball, she resumed her journey, the sky shifting to hues of twilight. As darkness settled, she landed near a tranquil forest lake. With a flick of her wrist, she deployed a Capsule, transforming it into a luxury villa nestled amidst the trees. Stepping into the warm glow of the bath she prepared, Ayaka let the steaming water wash away the day's dust and weariness.

Relaxing in her temporary haven, Ayaka couldn't help but smirk at the chaos she'd left behind. Whether facing ravenous dinosaurs or toppling canyons, her adventure was a cocktail of danger, mischief, and unshakable determination. The journey was far from over, and Ayaka was ready to face it head-on, one Dragon Ball at a time.

Ayaka stepped out of the bathroom, her damp hair cascading down her shoulders as she wrapped herself in a simple yukata. The soft fabric clung to her frame, but her mind was elsewhere—focused on the next step of her journey. She dried her hair quickly, her movements efficient yet graceful, before slipping into her bedroom to prepare for the day ahead. The Dragon Ball radar was calling, and adventure awaited.

The morning sun streamed through the villa's windows, illuminating Ayaka's determined expression as she packed her belongings. Her villa vanished into a Capsule with a satisfying pop, and she took to the skies, her radar in hand. The faint signal of a Dragon Ball flickered on the screen, but something unusual caught her eye—a second signal, moving at an incredible speed. Her curiosity piqued, Ayaka decided to intercept the mysterious object.

Minutes later, a red blur streaked across the horizon. Ayaka's sharp eyes caught the figure of Mercenary Tao, the infamous assassin, standing atop a concrete pillar as he soared through the air. Her lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Well, this just got interesting."

Without hesitation, Ayaka accelerated, her flight swift and precise. She landed gracefully on the pillar, startling Mercenary Tao, who turned to face her with a scowl. "Who dares interrupt the world's number one assassin?" he growled, his tone dripping with arrogance.

Ayaka tilted her head, her smile unwavering. "Just a young girl looking for something you happen to have—a Dragon Ball."

Mercenary Tao's eyes narrowed, his disdain evident. "You're either brave or foolish, little girl. Leave now, or I'll make you regret crossing me."

Ayaka chuckled softly, her amusement clear. "You talk big for someone standing on a concrete pillar. Let's see how well you handle this."

With a swift motion, Ayaka stomped her foot, releasing a burst of energy that shattered the pillar into dust. Mercenary Tao leapt to the ground, his expression a mix of shock and fury as he landed in a defensive stance. Ayaka descended gracefully, her movements fluid and controlled.

"You've got something I need," she said, pulling a Dragon Ball from her pouch as an example. "Hand it over, and we can avoid unnecessary trouble."

Mercenary Tao's face darkened, his murderous aura filling the air. "You'll regret underestimating me, girl. Prepare to beg for mercy."

The assassin lunged, his palm slicing through the air like a blade. Ayaka sidestepped effortlessly, her speed unmatched. She caught his hand mid-strike, her grip firm and unyielding. Mercenary Tao's eyes widened in disbelief as he struggled to free himself from her grasp.

"How… how is this possible?" he stammered, sweat beading on his forehead.

Ayaka's smile turned teasing, her tone light. "You're not the first to underestimate me, and you won't be the last."

Mercenary Tao's frustration boiled over, and he launched a flurry of kicks, each one faster and more powerful than the last. But Ayaka danced around his attacks, her movements a blur of elegance and precision. The assassin's confidence began to crumble, replaced by a growing sense of helplessness.

"Enough of this," Ayaka said, her voice firm. She flung Mercenary Tao across the battlefield, his body crashing through trees before landing in a crater with a resounding thud. The ground trembled from the impact, and Mercenary Tao lay motionless, defeated.

Ayaka hovered above the pit, her expression calm yet triumphant. "Next time, think twice before challenging someone out of your league."

With the Dragon Ball radar in hand, Ayaka resumed her journey, the thrill of adventure fueling her every move. The world was vast, and her path was far from over. Each encounter brought new challenges, but Ayaka faced them all with unwavering resolve and a mischievous spark that made her story one for the ages.

The tension in the air was palpable as Mercenary Tao staggered to his feet, his body battered and bruised, yet his pride refusing to let him yield. His clenched fists trembled with a mix of rage and disbelief as he glared at Ayaka, who stood before him with an air of effortless confidence. Her calm demeanor only fueled his frustration.

"You're persistent, I'll give you that," Ayaka said, her voice light but tinged with warning. "But persistence without strength is just foolishness. Hand over the Dragon Ball, and this ends here."

Mercenary Tao spat on the ground, his face twisted in defiance. "You think you can humiliate me and walk away unscathed? I am the world's greatest assassin! I won't be defeated by some... little girl!"

Ayaka sighed, shaking her head. "You really don't know when to quit, do you?"

In an instant, she vanished from sight, her speed far beyond Mercenary Tao's ability to track. His eyes darted around frantically, his senses on high alert, but it was futile. The gap between their abilities was insurmountable.

"Looking for me?" Ayaka's voice came from behind him, and before he could react, a powerful strike landed on his side, sending him flying through the air. He crashed into the ground with a thunderous impact, the pain in his waist making him wince as he struggled to stand.

"Your power level went up a bit," Ayaka mused, her tone almost amused as she observed him. "But it's still not enough."

Before Mercenary Tao could respond, Ayaka appeared above him, her movements a blur. With a swift kick to his chest, she sent him hurtling downward, his feet sinking deep into the mud upon impact. Blood spurted from his mouth as he collapsed, seemingly unconscious.

Ayaka approached him, her steps measured and deliberate. She reached into his blouse and retrieved the Dragon Ball, her eyes lighting up as she counted the stars. "Four-Star," she said with a satisfied smile. "Finally."

As she turned to leave, a sudden surge of energy caught her attention. "DODON RAY!" Mercenary Tao's voice rang out, and a crimson beam of energy shot toward her back. Ayaka spun around, her hand outstretched, and caught the attack with ease. The energy dissipated against her palm, leaving only a faint wisp of smoke.

Mercenary Tao's jaw dropped, his confidence shattered. "Impossible... How could you—?"

Ayaka's gaze hardened, her playful demeanor replaced by a steely resolve. "Your tricks won't work on me," she said, her voice cold. "This is your last warning. Stay out of my way, or next time, I won't be so lenient."

With that, she turned and took to the skies, the Dragon Ball safely in her possession. The wind whipped through her hair as she soared, her mind already focused on the next step of her journey. The encounter with Mercenary Tao was just another chapter in her adventure, a reminder of the challenges that lay ahead. But Ayaka was undeterred. She thrived on the thrill of the unknown, and her story was far from over.

Ayaka's eyes flashed a cold, cold light. Instantly, her body surging out with terrifying ki that enveloped the Earth. Kami's majesty filled the whole world. The white clouds in the sky seemed to disappear suddenly, and the ground began to tremble for it.

Ayaka stretched out a finger to the sky. The vast ki gradually converged towards the finger, slowly forming a peanut-sized blue ball of ki wave. The blue ball of ki constantly flicking in Ayaka's fingertips, emitting breathtaking and terrifying energy.

The peanut-sized ball of ki quickly became larger. In the blink of an eye, it became a huge energy ball with a diameter of 50 meters. The energy ball emitted a cold blue light, and a powerful explosive force that destroys the world was hidden inside. In Mercenary Tao's frightened gaze, Ayaka gently threw the blue energy ball toward him.

BOOM!

A huge explosion resounded for a hundred miles, then the ground shook violently, and various mountains and rocks kept rolling down with the ground shaking. From afar, a huge mushroom cloud rushed up to a height of several thousand meters. The huge shock wave swept away with a wild momentum that was difficult to see directly.

Upon looking outside the Earth, a bright spot of light could be seen, and for several minutes, the world was shrouded in chaos.

After dozens of minutes later, the ground finally stopped shaking. The dust flying in the sky gradually drifted down, and peace returned to the world. In the location just now, a huge crater with a diameter of ten kilometers appeared. In the center of the crater, magma continued to gush out.

Ayaka slowly floated down from the sky, still dragging a person in her hand, which was Mercenary Tao. At this time, Mercenary Tao's eyes were already white, completely fainted.

Looking at the forest, which was entirely disfigured by her attack, Ayaka felt very sorry. The move that Ayaka just made was an imitation of Frieza. The look was somewhat similar, but the color was dark blue.

In the nick of time, Ayaka used her power to wrap up the entire area under attack so that the outside world couldn't know what was happening here. Otherwise, Ayaka's strength would have been known to the Old Kami.

She left the fainted Mercenary Tao on the ground. She did not care about his death and flew away alone, "If Mercenary Tao weren't still somewhat useful later on, I would have killed him with one move!"

.......

After three years of absence, Ayaka came to the Fire Mountain again.

From afar, she saw the green castle standing tall on Fire Mountain. The lofty ancient castle was surrounded by green hills and water, looking extraordinarily old. It was surrounded by lush grass and trees with dense foliage and was alone in the lush mountains of the beautiful forest, causing a feeling of straddling the past was born.

Ayaka leisurely landed in the castle's garden, watching the trees in the garden with great interest. At this time, the servant responsible for looking after the garden came over. When they saw Ayaka appeared and shouted to the Ox-King to report. Ayaka couldn't care much about the servant and continued to watch.

Shortly after, the large size of the Ox-King came over. He held a black ax the size of a man, shouting, and his words could be heard from a distance, "Is that the intruder? How dare you be in the middle of this king's garden? Get out of here!"

When he saw Ayaka, his fierce look turned into a smiley one at once. "So it's Ayaka. I haven't seen you for a few years, you've grown quite a bit girl! How come you don't come to play in uncle's castle for so many years!"

The Ox-King shouted. He threw away the ax in his hand and smashed a big pit on the ground.

Ayaka said with a smile, "I've been training all over the world for the past few years. Now that I've gotten better, I plan to go to Master Roshi's island. I just happened to pass by here, so I came to take a look!"

The Ox-King nodded, believing Ayaka's words. He then said, "So! Since you're going to Master Roshi's residence, can you say hello to Master Roshi for me? By the way, I have some specialties here; can you bring them along for me!"

He asked Ayaka to to bring a few local specialties to his teacher to pay proper respect to Master Roshi.

"Yes, I'll wait a moment so you can prepare what you want me to bring. I will bring it for you!" Ayaka nodded her head and agreed. Then took out a Dragon Ball and handed it to the Ox-King.

"This is the Dragon Ball that I borrowed last time. Now I will return it to you!"

The Ox-King accepted the Dragon Ball and casually put it into his pocket without even looking at it for a second. He then took Ayaka to the castle's hall and instructed the servants to prepare food properly. He wanted to treat Ayaka to a good meal.

"Where's Chi-Chi? Why haven't I seen her?" Ayaka looked around. Except for the busy servants, there was no sign of Chi-Chi.

"Chi-Chi went to the village to deliver food to some old people!" With a bit of fatty meat and his mouth constantly chewing, the Ox-King replied somewhat vaguely.

Ayaka nodded. Although the nearby villagers were afraid of the Ox-King, they were more fond of Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi often ran to the village to help some older people who had difficulties in life.

After a simple meal, Ayaka said goodbye to the Ox-King. She collected a whole cart of souvenirs that the Ox-King had prepared for Master Roshi and prepared to go towards the Kame House.

At this point, Ayaka turned her head to look at the Ox-King and said, "In a year or so, I'll bring Son Goku over. Don't you forget about him and Chi-Chi by then! And remember to teach her martial arts properly otherwise she might just get pummeled by Goku's brilliance."

......

Inside the Kame House.

Master Roshi's mouth was drooling as he was looking at the TV with a lewd face, watching aerobics lady. Outside the house, Son Goku was carrying a heavy turtle shell, kept running around the island.

"Booze, booze!"

Son Goku gasped. He was carrying a heavy gait running around the island with a bean-sized bead of sweat on his small face.

Whoosh!

Son Goku suddenly saw a tiny figure flying over from afar, and when it got closer, Son Goku realized that it was Ayaka!

"SISTER!"

Son Goku was excited to see his sister, whom he had not seen for many years. As soon as he flew towards Ayaka, he ran over.

After three years of absence, Son Goku had grown up a lot, and she was delighted, "Goku, I'm back. Take it; it's your Dragon Balls!" She said and threw the Four-Star to Son Goku.

Son Goku raised his hand to catch the flying Four-Star, pulling Ayaka's hand towards the Kame House, shouting, "Grandpa Roshi, my sister is back!"

"Hmm? Ayaka's back?"

Master Roshi's head turned from in front of the TV, just in time to see a big beautiful woman walked into the room. His eyes went straight at once. Master Roshi quickly popped over from the couch and came to Ayaka, breathing heavily through his nose in a feverish manner.

"Wow! Such a great beauty. Is this Ayaka? I'm sure she's getting prettier and prettier! Oooh, can you give old grandpa a feel of your chest?"

Master Roshi's eyes glowed red, and his trembling hands opened into claws and attacked Ayaka's breasts!

"Humph!" Ayaka coldly snorted, unceremoniously knocked away the two ghostly hands of Master Roshi, and said with a grim face, "Master Roshi, you haven't changed your old habits. If you have the guts to give me another try, see if I don't break your hands!"

Master Roshi retracted his hands sarcastically; his face was a little embarrassed looking at Ayaka, muttering, "Why is her temper getting worse and worse. She even refused me to touch her breast!"

"What are you muttering about?" Ayaka's face became ugly, with an icy coldness in his gaze.

"….Nothing. I wanted to say how come you didn't come back until now. Goku and I missed you so much!" Master Roshi was digressing to talk about Son Goku's training results over the past three years.

Ayaka could see that after three years of hard training, Son Goku's strength had grown considerably. His power level reached more than 150, 20 higher than when he first participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament.

"By the way, when I came back, I passed by the OX-King's Fire Mountain, and he asked me to bring you something."

"You've met the Ox-King!" Master Roshi was a little surprised. He did not expect that Ayaka knew his second disciple, the Ox-King. Ayaka nodded, took out a Capsule, and threw it on the ground.

BOOM!

The entire room filled with thick white smoke, and by the time the smoke cleared, the whole room was already stuffed with all kinds of meat and fur. It was hard even to find a place to land.

"Wow, a lot of meat!" Son Goku looked at a room of meat. His mouth was drooling, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Master Roshi was looking at the room stuffed with pieces of meat, and his face muscles couldn't help but twitch up. He had Nothing to say to his second disciple.

Kame House was located in the sea, and typically there was little meat in addition to seafood. This afternoon, Ayaka very busy in the kitchen, floating out a tempting smell of meat. The tantalizing aroma attracted Son Goku; his mouth was full of drool. He could not wait to run back and forth in the house.

Finally, it was time to eat; Son Goku's mouth was stuffed with pieces of meat, and he grabbed two fatty meat pieces in his hands. His tongue rolled, and only a bone was left. He grabbed the roast meat with both hands and kept sending it to his mouth.

After enjoying the meal, Son Goku was lying on the ground with a happy face. He patted the bulging belly with his hand, "So full, rarely have I ever eaten so much!"

"Goku is very good at eating, right. How have you lived these years?" Ayaka quietly asked Master Roshi. This small Kami House didn't look like it had a lot of food in stock, so she wondered how Master Roshi fed Son Goku.

As soon as she mentioned Son Goku's meal, Master Roshi's eyes became red as if he was in love with the scene, and he was about to shed tears, which startled Ayaka. She didn't know that all this would have to be borne by the Master Roshi since she left.

Previously, he didn't know that Son Goku's meals were so horrible, until one day, Son Goku almost consumed the stock of food in the Kame House. Master Roshi hurried to the market to buy food, but it was eaten up within a few days. Upon watching the money in the waistband slowly flattened down, Master Roshi wanted to cry! So, for the following days they lived with so little food. Until Son Goku began to catch the fish in the sea, their lives had improved, but they never returned to the previous standard of living.

Looking at Master Roshi's pathetic story of these years of experience, Ayaka couldn't help but begin to sympathize with Master Roshi. These years were not easy for Master Roshi! However, Ayaka's sympathy did not last a few seconds, and her face became an iron blue.

After seeing that he gained Ayaka's sympathy, Master Roshi buried his head into Ayaka's chest and kept rubbing Ayaka's soft chest.

'Sure enough, this dead old man does not deserve sympathy in the slightest!'

Ayaka grabbed Master Roshi, who was still buried in her chest.

BANG!

She punched him in the head.

BOOM!

Master Roshi was hit by Ayaka's punch and flew straight toward the wall with a bang. His head went through the wall and was stuck in the wall.

......

Soon, it had been a few days since Ayaka came to the Kame House. In the past few days, Ayaka had been nothing but good to Master Roshi. From time to time, she lost her temper with him, making Master Roshi as uncomfortable as eating a fly. Of course, this was all his own doing.

In the meantime, Ayaka tested Son Goku's training and found that Son Goku's strength has reached more than what he had when he participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament. His age was nearly two years earlier than the original. It seemed to be good reason for coming to the Master Roshi a few years earlier.

So she decided to give Goku the gift she had prepared. 

Sister Ayaka!" Goku yelled in excitement, sprinting toward her the moment he saw her. His bright smile and boundless energy never failed to warm her heart. "What are you calling me for? Did you come to train me again?"

"Not today, Goku," Ayaka said with a chuckle. "But I brought you something special—a gift." She held out the box, watching as curiosity flickered across Goku's face.

"A gift? For me?" Goku opened the box and his eyes widened. "Whoa, what is this?"

"It's a gravity bracelet," Ayaka explained, fastening it gently around Goku's wrist. "I had Bulma and Dr. Brief create it for you. It simulates intense gravity, all the way up to 100x Earth's gravity. You'll be able to train your body like never before, even when you're not at King Kai's planet or on a spaceship."

Goku's face lit up with wonder as he examined the bracelet. "This is amazing! Thank you so much, Sister!" He grinned, already imagining the training possibilities. "Can I try it right now?"

Ayaka raised a hand to stop him. "Hold on, Goku. Start slow. Set it to 5x gravity first and see how it feels. This bracelet is powerful, but you need to learn how to control it before you crank it up."

Goku nodded enthusiastically, his excitement undeterred. "Got it, I'll start small!"

As Goku fiddled with the settings and began to test the bracelet, Ayaka couldn't help but smile. Watching him take his first steps with the device was a reminder of why she had created it in the first place—not just to help him grow stronger but to nurture the unbreakable spirit that made Goku who he was. His path forward was bright, and Ayaka felt proud to have contributed to it in her own unique way. The adventure ahead was limitless.
