Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 42: Sabo's Doom!

Last time, Goten officially began his Namek adventure and successfully rescued Tenten and another Namekian child from Frieza. Dodoria, who came to pursue them, died at Vegeta's hands, just like in the original story. Goten also successfully met with Vegeta.

Vegeta, not hearing Goten's surprised shouts for a while, questioned Goten, "Kid, what do you mean by this? How much stronger have you become? Tell me."

Upon hearing this, Wutian waved his hand and said casually, "There's no need to care too much about those numbers. As long as we keep getting stronger, there's no point in staring at the numbers. They won't help us get stronger anyway."

Upon hearing Goten's words, Vegeta disdainfully continued to ask, "So where are we going to find the Dragon Balls next? If we don't hurry, Frieza and his gang of bastards will gather them all."

Goten confidently said, "It's alright. Even if he collects them all, he won't know the incantation. And even if he does know the incantation, he won't be able to make the wish because he doesn't speak Namekian."

At this moment, Tenten interjected, "Big brother, how do you know that our Dragon Balls require you to use your own language to make a wish?"

Goten suddenly became serious and said, "I'll explain later. We have new guests. Vegeta, get ready, that guy doesn't seem to have any good intentions..."

Vegeta said nonchalantly, "I know without you reminding me. Besides, I don't think that guy is anything special. You just watch from the side. I only need a minute to take him down."

Upon hearing this, Goten led the two Namekians back into the mountain crevice, giving Vegeta more room to maneuver. At the same time, he wondered where his father and Piccolo were. They were clearly watching from the other side, and the three of them should have reunited by now and fought side by side.

Before Goten could figure out what was going on, the source of the ki had already attacked. It was Zarbon, whom Frieza had sent after Dodoria hadn't returned yet. Zarbon spotted Vegeta and immediately landed on the ground.

Sabo looked at Vegeta and said irritably, "Vegeta! Have you seen Dodoria?"

Vegeta replied directly, "He has already turned to ashes and gone to another world, but don't worry, you'll soon be going there to join him too..."

Upon hearing this, Sabo couldn't help but laugh: "You don't actually think I'm as trash as that guy, do you? You're too arrogant, Vegeta. I'll make you face reality soon enough. Take this!"

As he spoke, Sabo charged at Vegeta, unleashing a flurry of wild punches, but he didn't even manage to touch Vegeta. Instead, Vegeta countered with a punch to the abdomen. Then, the tables turned, and Vegeta, having just created an opening, unleashed a series of unexplained combos: right hook, left hook, right knee kick followed by a left kick, sending Sabo flying. Then, the Prince's Battle Technique followed in quick succession, instantly overwhelming Sabo...

Just as Vegeta thought he had gotten rid of yet another problem, Zarbon emerged from the smoke and shouted angrily, "Damn Vegeta... You forced me to do this! Even though I'll become ugly, as long as I can kill you, you bastard, that's enough!" He then began to roar and unleash his power, his body transforming as his muscles swelled and his face turned into that of a toad.

Seeing Sabo complete his transformation, Vegeta still wore a disdainful smile and mocked, "Oh... now you're even uglier than Dodoria... Come at me with all your might, let me see how much your strength has improved..."

Upon hearing Vegeta's words, Zarbon instantly charged forward at twice the speed he had been at. Just as he was smugly preparing to deal with Vegeta, Vegeta slapped him hard across the face with a powerful blow. Zarbon's smile froze instantly. Still in a daze, wondering if he was dreaming, Zarbon was met with another powerful blow to the other side of his face by Vegeta.

Awakened by the slap, Sabo angrily threw a left hook in an attempt to retaliate against Vegeta, but Vegeta did a somersault, grabbed Sabo's hair, and flung him away, slamming him into the ground again.

Zarbon, who had quickly stood up, suddenly noticed Goten and the other two beside him. Thinking that even if he couldn't defeat Vegeta, he would at least take care of the brat that Frieza had ordered to be eliminated. So he immediately turned his gun on Goten...

Vegeta noticed Zarbon's actions and understood his thoughts, but he did not stop him because he also wanted to see how strong Goten had become. That's why he let Zarbon attack Goten.

When Goten saw Sabo charging towards him, he didn't back down and charged at him head-on. The moment they clashed, the battle turned in Goten's favor. Goten dodged all of Sabo's attacks, while Goten's attacks landed squarely on Sabo, making Sabo drool with every blow.

Finally realizing the difference in their strength, Sabo unleashed a verbal attack on Goten, then fled without looking back. As Sabo boasted that he would ask Frieza to kill the two despicable guys when he got back, he was completely unaware that Goten had already reached him.

It wasn't until Goten kicked him to a stop that Sabo realized the kid from before was already in front of him. With no other options, Sabo could only frantically unleash energy waves in a final struggle. However, Goten, unaffected by Sabo's continuous energy waves, arrived in front of him, his right hand facing him, and with a single Kamehameha, instantly sent him down the same path as Dodoria.

After defeating Zarbon, Goten reunited with Vegeta and the others. Goten then asked Tenten, "Um... where is your Grand Elder? Take us there and find us a safe place to stay."

Upon hearing this, Tenten and another Namekian child immediately set off with Goten and Vegeta to the location of the Grand Elder. Meanwhile, Frieza, who had not yet received any news from Dodoria and Zarbon, had no choice but to summon the Ginyu Force. Before they arrived, Frieza would refrain from taking any action, since he possessed a total of five Dragon Balls and had no need to rush anything.

Meanwhile, in space, Goku and Piccolo, engrossed in their training, were completely unaware that their spaceship had deviated from its planned trajectory and was moving further and further away from Namek...

The five members of the Ginyu Force, who were on their way to Planet Yardrat, suddenly received an urgent summons from Frieza, forcing them to change course and head to Planet Namek to carry out their mission...

(Great, now the Ginyu Force has finally started their journey to Namek, but what will happen to Goku and Piccolo, and what will happen at Vegeta and Goten's meeting with the Grand Elder...?)
