"Do you idiots really think you can steal that Dragon Ball from me?"

The blonde woman burst out laughing as she sped down the road on her motorcycle.

Behind her, five gang members chased after her in vehicles.

"Boss, what's a Dragon Ball anyway?" one thug shouted.

"I don't know!" the gang leader yelled back. "But she has that orange orb! Get her!"

The blonde woman laughed even harder.

"You're all idiots!"

Then, without warning, she put the Dragon Ball away and A second later, she somehow pulled out a machine gun.

As Her motorcycle drifted sideways across the road.

RATATATATATAT!

Bullets sprayed toward the pursuing gang.

"Boss! This woman is insane! and She's got a machine gun!"

"Yes, boss ,She's completely crazy!" as The gang instantly panicked to them this situation is like how a hunters became the one to get hunted.

As All five vehicles turned around and fled at full speed.

"Hey! Why are you running now?!"

The blonde woman laughed wildly as she chased after them while continuing to fire into the air.

"Hahaha! Get back here!"

Just then, a strong gust of wind swept across the road as a strand of blonde hair tickled her nose.

"A-Achoo!"

The moment she sneezed, her blonde hair instantly turned deep blue and Her fierce expression vanished and The machine gun nearly slipped from her hands.

The blue-haired woman blinked in confusion as One hand held the motorcycle handle and The other held a machine gun.

"…Huh?"

She stared at the weapon.

"What am I doing?"

Completely horrified, she quickly put the gun away and Then she turned the motorcycle around and sped off in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, the gang members slowly stopped their vehicles as Everyone looked exhausted and terrified.

"Boss…She left."

The gang leader wiped cold sweat from his forehead.

"Forget it , We are never messing with that woman again."

The others immediately agreed.

"Seriously,Where did that crazy lady even come from?"

"I've never seen her before."

High above the road,

Son Gohan watched the entire scene unfold as He couldn't help smiling.

"So I finally found Launch."

For years, Tien had searched for her without success and somehow, i managed to find her simply while searching for Dragon Balls.

"Life really works in mysterious ways," he thought.

Then another thought crossed his mind.

"Though…"

He rubbed his chin.

"I can kind of see why Dad's generation had trouble dealing with her blonde personality. but why i fell atrracted to her blonde personality "

Then he remembered something Vegeta once said in anime that Saiyans seemed strangely attracted to strong-willed women.

Looking at Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Android 18, Gohan couldn't completely deny it.

Still, he immediately shook his head.

"Nope, That's not my problem and i am not that NTR type guy! "

More importantly, Gohan knew Launch's story.

Launch had fallen for Tien the first time she watched him fight at the World Martial Arts Tournament.

She admired his strength and determination and cared for him whenever he was injured and when the Saiyans arrived and Tien died, Launch was devastated.

At one point, she even wondered why she was still alive if he was gone and Yet after Tien was revived, somehow the two never found each other again.[All thanks to Toriyama ]

Years passed and Then the Androids appeared most of The world fell apart and Launch disappeared from everyone's lives.

What she didn't know was that Tien had never completely stopped looking for her.

Gohan watched as Launch parked her motorcycle near a small village and turned it back into a capsule.

Only then did he descend from the sky.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he walked toward her.

"Launch."

Hearing someone call her name, Launch turned around the blue-haired version immediately became nervous as a strange young teenage boy with golden hair was walking toward her.

And because she had never met an older Gohan before, she had no idea who he was.

"W-Who are you?" she asked cautiously while taking a small step backward.

Gohan smiled warmly.

"It's okay! My name is Gohan....Son Gohan."

He pointed at himself.

"Son Goku's son."

Launch blinked as Gohan continued,

"You remember my dad, right? I was just a little kid back then." and For a moment, Launch stared blankly.

Then her eyes widened in realization.

"Goku?"

She looked at Gohan again.

Now that she looked closely, she could finally see the resemblance.

"The little boy from Kame House…No way! ."

"You're Gohan?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yep. Absolutely," Gohan replied with a smile.

Launch smiled warmly.

"The last time I saw you, you were this tiny," she said, holding her hand low to demonstrate.

Then she folded her arms proudly.

"And don't just call me Launch. I'm older than you, aren't I? You should call me Aunt Launch."

Gohan sighed inwardly "and here i thought i would need to convince her more " .

meanwhile Launch carefully examined him from head to toe.

Now that she looked closely, he really did resemble Goku, especially around the eyes and smile.

Unlike her blonde-haired personality, the blue-haired Launch was gentle, kind, and sometimes a little too innocent. That was one of the reasons Goku and Krillin had trusted her enough to bring her to Kame House all those years ago.

Honestly, if she didn't have her sneeze-triggered personality switch, she probably would have been taken advantage of by bad people long ago.

"So, Gohan..." Launch began and Then she hesitated slightly.

"How is your father doing?"

She had been away from everyone for years. She didn't know what had happened to Goku.

Gohan's smile softened.

"My dad passed away," he said honestly. "But everyone else is doing fine."

Launch froze.

"Oh..."

As Her expression immediately fell.

"I'm sorry. Was he killed by those horrible Androids?"

Gohan shook his head.

"No. Dad died from a heart virus. That happened two years ago."

Launch lowered her head.

"I see..."

After a brief silence, Gohan spoke again.

"But, Aunt Launch, did you know that Tien has been looking for you for a long time?"

"What?!"

Launch's eyes widened.

Before Gohan could react, she grabbed both of his shoulders and shouted .

"Really?! Is that true?! Really, really?!"

Gohan chuckled.

"Yes, really."

The sudden change in her emotions almost made him laugh as One moment she had been calm and gentle.

The next moment she looked like she could run across the entire planet and Maybe that was the power of love.

Gohan didn't fully understand it but Still, he couldn't deny that it was a powerful thing after all in his past life most of the Manga , Comic Writter along with Movie director's has been obssesed with this Power .

"Of course it's true," Gohan continued.

"Uncle Tien regrets what happened, He feels like he made mistakes in the past and now he doesn't want to leave any regrets behind. So he started searching for you."

Of course, Tien had never actually said those exact words but Gohan didn't mind helping a little.

Tien was stubborn, quiet, and terrible at expressing himself and The fact that he had gone looking for Launch at all already spoke volumes.

Tears slowly formed in Launch's eyes but they weren't tears of sadness they were tears of happiness.

"Oh..."

She quickly wiped her eyes.

"I'm sorry , I've been talking nonstop."

Then she smiled awkwardly.

"Come to my place for a while and rest."

Gohan nodded.

"Sure."

Launch led him through the village as they walked, Gohan looked around Calling it a house would have been generous.

Most of the buildings were little more than temporary shelters with Wooden walls and Metal-sheet roofs just enough protection from the rain and wind as Hundreds of similar shelters stretched across the area.

South City was still being rebuilt after years of destruction and Most of the workers were still at the construction sites.

Only elderly people, children, a few women, and some sick villagers remained behind and In the distance, the sounds of machinery, hammering, and construction echoed constantly.

Everyone was rebuilding their lives with hope and determination and When they arrived, Gohan stared at the small metal shack and thought

"A young woman had been living here alone all this time, Inside, there was almost nothing but wooden bed,small wardrobe,table and few daily necessities and That was all."

Launch rubbed the back of her head awkwardly.

"It's a little embarrassing.But this is how things are right now, At least we have somewhere to live."

She pulled over a wooden stool for Gohan and sat on the edge of the bed herself.

Gohan looked around again.

"It could be dangerous living here alone."

Launch smiled.

"It's actually not that bad."

She pointed toward herself.

"Most people in the village know what happens when I sneeze."

A mischievous grin appeared on her face.

"They're more afraid of me than I am of them."

Gohan laughed.

"Honestly, that's probably true."

Then Launch continued,

"Actually, compared to my other personality , there's another girl here who's even stronger and more amazing."

Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

Launch nodded enthusiastically.

"She only arrived a few days ago, but she works harder than anyone else. Every day she carries construction materials to the building sites."

"And her strength is unbelievable."

At first, Gohan didn't think much of it.

After all, Earth still had plenty of people with power levels around fifty or sixty. That wasn't unusual.

But a young woman with extraordinary strength? That sounded suspicious.

"Oh, right!" Gohan suddenly said.

"The reason I found you today is because I'm collecting the Dragon Balls."

Launch blinked.

"Dragon Balls?"

Gohan nodded.

"I'm planning to restore all the destroyed cities."

Understanding immediately, Launch reached into her bag without hesitation as She pulled out a One-Star Dragon Ball and handed it to him.

"Then take it, Gohan."

Her voice was soft and sincere.

Gohan smiled.

"Thank you, Aunt Launch."

He carefully put the Dragon Ball away and Then another thought crossed his mind.

"Actually, Aunt Launch, why don't you come with me?"

Launch tilted her head.

"Come with you?"

"You don't need to stay here anymore," Gohan explained. "I'm sure everyone would be happy to see you again."

Launch looked slightly nervous.

"Wouldn't I just cause trouble for everyone?"

Gohan laughed.

"Not at all, Trust me, nobody would think that."

Launch stared at him for a moment before smiling.

"Okay."

The moment she agreed, she immediately began packing and Within minutes she gathered all of her belongings and stored them inside capsules.

Gohan watched in amusement.

As She packed her clothes and packed her furniture like wardrobe and She even packed things he didn't think anyone would bother taking.

Soon the entire room was empty.

Then Launch pressed another capsule button.

Fwoosh!

The shelter itself shrank and transformed into a capsule.

Gohan stared.

"..."

"...Aunt Launch, Did you just pack the entire house?"

Launch blinked innocently.

"Of course, It belongs to me."

Gohan rubbed his forehead.

Sometimes Dragon Ball logic was impossible to understand.

"I'm ready!" Launch announced proudly.

Gohan forced a smile.

"Great. Let's go."

As they stepped outside, Launch suddenly paused.

"Where are we going?"

"First, Mount Paozu," Gohan answered "Then I'll contact Uncle Tien."

The moment Tien's name was mentioned, Launch's face brightened.

It was already getting late, and Gohan still needed to take Videl home afterward, so bringing Launch to Mount Paozu was the simplest option.

"How are we getting there?" Launch asked "Did you bring an airplane?"

She had been isolated from everyone for so many years that she didn't even know Gohan could fly.

Gohan smiled.

"No need, I'll carry you as We're flying."

Before Launch could react, Gohan gently picked her up.

"What?!"

A moment later WHOOSH!

They shot into the sky as The nearby villagers looked up in shock.

Meanwhile,

Gohan paid them no attention as He had never understood why fighters acted like flying was some huge secret because there asre flying Vehicle in bragonball and most of time people always thougth they are new technology for cloths that make people Fly.

High above the clouds, Launch looked amazed.

"We're really flying..."

Then she frowned thoughtfully.

"Doesn't this use a lot of energy? Back then, Tien only flew when he absolutely had to."

Gohan chuckled as She wasn't wrong.

Years ago, flying consumed a significant amount of ki for most Z fighter or who know's how to fly .

But compared to Current Z Fighters ? The energy cost was almost nothing.

"It doesn't matter anymore," Gohan said.

Then they continued toward South City and Soon the rebuilding project came into view.

Launch pointed downward.

"That's the construction site I was talking about and Most of the people from the shelters work there."

Gohan looked down.

Thousands of workers were rebuilding roads, buildings, and infrastructure and The determination on their faces was obvious.

Yet Gohan simply smiled.

"They won't need to rebuild much longer."

Launch looked confused and asked . "What do you mean Gohan ?"

"Once I gather all the Dragon Balls, Shenron can restore the city instantly."

Launch froze.

"Oh. Right."

She had completely forgotten that Dragon Balls existed and Suddenly Gohan's expression changed.

His eyes widened.

"Wait a second I know her ."

Without another word, he descended toward the construction site as The workers were so busy carrying materials that none of them even noticed two people floating overhead.

Launch pointed toward a woman below.

"There! That's the girl I was talking about!"

Gohan followed her finger.

A black-haired woman was carrying enormous stacks of construction materials llikeHuge piles of steel beams with concrete blocks,Cement bags etc All in a single trip.

The workers around her could only stare in disbelief.

"See?" Launch said proudly "She's incredible, right?"

Gohan nodded slowly.

"Yeah.. I'm definitely surprised."

But that wasn't what shocked him What shocked him was the woman's identity Because the person carrying enough material to flatten a truck wasn't some random construction worker.

It was Android 18 the same Android who had once defeated Super Saiyans and The same Android who had terrorized Earth and the samw one who was reformed and re-gained her memory .

She was voluntarily working construction as Gohan stared blankly.

"..."

".Oh Great Grand Zeno,Zuno,Rymus,Zalama am I hallucinating?"
