My name is Bulla, and I am a reborn.
The world I came from was endless darkness and misery.
…
Dragon Ball World
Parallel Universe
In this world too, the future was one of despair.
Son Goku died of a viral heart disease. A year later, the Androids appeared.
Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha were killed by the Androids one after another. Vegeta found the Android siblings alone, but was no match for them and was killed.
The last warrior left was Gohan. But unlike the hopeless future of the original story, in this world, Vegeta had left Bulma not only a son, Trunks, but also a daughter, me, Bulla.
I was born on the same year, same day as Trunks. We were twins. Under the Androids' relentless destruction, Bulma fled from place to place with us siblings.
Finally, one day, Gohan broke through his limits and transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Humanity gained a fighting chance against the Androids. With Gohan's protection, Bulma, Trunks, and I survived. But even so, Gohan's power still wasn't enough to kill the Androids.
After all, the two Androids possessed infinite stamina. After that, Gohan began training Trunks, hoping to make him into a powerful warrior. As for me, his younger sister, I didn't have Trunks' strength. I desperately wanted to grow stronger, but no matter how hard I worked, I could never catch up to Trunks.
That day, heavy rain fell from the sky.
A flash of golden light pierced the night. Trunks, driven by rage, finally transformed into a Super Saiyan.
But the price was the death of his beloved big brother Gohan, killed by the Androids.
To change everything, Bulma built a time machine. Trunks traveled to the past, going through events exactly as in the original story.
In the end, the stronger Trunks used the sword in his hands to kill both Androids.
Later, Cell appeared and met the same fate, cut down by Trunks' blade. From then on, Trunks saved humanity and became a great hero of the world. It was also then that a girl from the Earth Defense Force named Mai met Trunks, and the two quickly fell in love.
Under Trunks' protection, Earth regained its former peace.
Perhaps the peaceful days were too comfortable, and my desire to grow strong gradually faded with time.
I thought that as long as my brother was there, everything could be solved.
Trunks also doted on me, letting me live a life of happiness. But good times didn't last. A few years later, an evil magician appeared on Earth.
His goal was to resurrect Majin Buu. To stop this, a Kaiōshin named Shin came to Earth. With Shin's help, Trunks successfully prevented Majin Buu's revival.
But the cost was Shin's death, the Kaiōshin's Sword being petrified and broken, and the Old Kaiōshin sealed within the sword also perishing.
As a result, the Beerus of this timeline also died in his sleep. After this battle, Earth once again entered a brief peace.
Until that day arrived…
I still vaguely remember, on that day, the entire city became a wasteland. The sky was shrouded in mist, and the air was thick with the smell of blood. In a single moment, the home humanity had rebuilt over the years fell once more.
And the culprit behind it all was a mysterious figure called the Dark Man.
Why mysterious? Because he bore the exact same face as the long-dead Son Goku.
"Trunks! The hope of humanity rests with you! This is the time machine fuel! Hurry back to the past and get everyone's help!"
A blue-haired woman, still graceful despite the years, handed Trunks a half-canister of blue liquid.
Trunks' expression was grim as he took the fuel. But just then, a sudden gale swept through, followed by countless energy blasts.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
After the explosions, a terrifying face appeared before everyone.
"Found you. The human extinction plan must be carried out to the letter." Goku Black sneered, gathering another energy blast in his hand.
Faced with Goku Black's declaration, Trunks gritted his teeth. This time, he had to fight Goku Black to the death.
"Mom! Find Bulla! Send her back to the past! I'll hold off the Dark Man!"
With that, Trunks instantly transformed into Super Saiyan 2, leaping into battle with Goku Black.
"Be careful, Trunks!" Bulma's eyes were full of worry, but the urgent task now was to contact Bulla.
Soon, Bulma reached me. At that moment, I was with Mai, comforting survivors. The moment I got Bulma's call, I rushed toward the underground warehouse.
"Mai! I'm leaving this to you! I have something more important to do!"
I sprinted toward Bulma's location, and as I ran, I could clearly sense my brother's ki rapidly surging. But the other guy's Ki was even stronger than my brother's.
Seeing this, I could only quicken my pace.
Truthfully, I also wanted to join the fight, but I was far too weak right now and would be of no help at all. The only thing I could do… was to take my brother's place, go back to the past, and seek help from everyone there!
While flying, Bulla suddenly felt that something was wrong, she realized that Trunks' ki was steadily weakening!
Her heart instantly tightened. She could feel that Trunks was in danger.
She pushed herself to fly faster, but in the very next second, her nose burned, her eyes welled up, and tears streamed down her face as she froze in midair.
Trunks' Ki… had disappeared!!
Tears scattered through the air as the grief-stricken Bulla finally arrived at Bulma's side.
She didn't say a word. She didn't dare. She was afraid that if her mother knew Trunks had already died, she would break down completely. Bulla forced herself to hold back her tears, doing her best to hide her emotions from Bulma.
But it seemed Bulma had already sensed something. She handed the fuel to Bulla and instructed softly:
"Be careful, Bulla."
Biting her lip, Bulla snatched the time machine fuel and ran out without looking back. Her mind felt numb, she could only think about the time machine. But just as she was about to reach the warehouse where the time machine was kept, A black silhouette appeared before her.
It was none other than Goku Black.
With a disdainful smile, he held a barely breathing man in his hand, dangling him like a kitten, Trunks.
Bang!
With a casual flick, Goku Black threw Trunks to the ground in front of Bulla.
A gasp escaped Bulla's lips. She covered her mouth as tears streamed down between her fingers.
Bending down, she reached out to touch Trunks, but the blood-covered face before her lifted slightly with difficulty.
"G–Go… little sister…"
After saying this, Trunks' life slipped away completely.
BOOM!
A thunderous sound came from afar. Bulla turned her head, a large army was firing missiles at Goku Black.
And leading them… was Mai!
"Bulla! Go! We'll hold off the Dark Man!"
A barrage of smoke bombs engulfed Goku Black, shrouding the entire battlefield. Fear, unwillingness, hatred, these emotions forced Bulla to pull herself together.
She sprinted toward the warehouse where the time machine was kept.
Screams echoed in her ears along the way. Finally, she jumped inside the time machine.
But just as she was about to activate it, that terrifying face appeared before her again.
"Little mouse, where do you think you're going?"
The devil's voice rang in her ears. Bulla's head shot up, and Goku Black casually fired a ki blast. With a BOOM, the time machine was blown to pieces.
Bulla's body was hurled hundreds of meters away.
Fear, helplessness, and despair circled endlessly in her heart.
Goku Black advanced step by step, closing in on the frozen Bulla.
"Bastard! Stay away from her!" A sharp, determined female voice rang out, Mai raised an RPG and fired at Goku Black.
But it was like a cup of water against a raging fire, useless. Goku Black simply waved his hand, stopping the missile midair.
His twisted, sinister gaze locked onto Mai.
Shhhk!
A strange sound rang out. Mai looked down to find crimson blood flowing from her abdomen. A hand had pierced straight through her body. With a thud, she collapsed to the ground.
Goku Black stepped on Mai's head and kicked her toward Bulla.
"You lowly humans… all of you must die. Oh, right. Let me show you one more thing."
From behind his back, Goku Black pulled out a bloodied head, it was none other than Bulma's.
In that moment, tears of regret welled in Bulla's eyes.
Rage surged through her entire body, and in an instant, her form was surrounded by golden light.
In that moment of extreme anger, she finally transformed into a Super Saiyan.
But… it was already too late.
She had watched all of her loved ones die right in front of her. She hated herself, for leaving everything to her brother. She knew that even as a Super Saiyan, she was no match for Goku Black.
Still, she launched one final attack.
Mimicking Trunks, she fired a Masenko.
But like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, it was meaningless.
Goku Black's hand pierced straight through her chest.
She died.
However…
For some reason, she didn't seem to be truly dead. It felt like she had been given another chance. But this time, her life was different; she was born after her brother.
In this life, she resolved to train hard and protect the people she wanted to protect.
Yet to her astonishment, her brother in this life seemed far stronger than she remembered, as if he didn't need her protection at all.
