Note: This story was written with assistance by an AI. I provided prompts and edited the results to make sense, creating something resembling a full story.

I thought it would be fun to explore the canon of the Dragon Ball F Universe. The story will follow the basic flow of Dragon Ball Z, but obviously there will be many differences. Some changes are made by the AI, some by me, but I think it helps to give this world its own feel besides the basic premise of it being a female-only world. I hope some of you will enjoy these stories, I’ll release them when I can!

Bulma groaned, her eyes fluttering open, her head pounding like a drum. She looked around, her vision blurry, her mind racing. She was on a bed, in a small, dimly lit room. She could see Launch, Krillin, and Gohan, all unconscious, all hooked up to strange, glowing machines.

“Where… where am I?” she croaked, her voice hoarse, her throat dry.

Two figures stepped into her line of sight, their forms tall and imposing, their skin a deep, verdant green. They were Namekians, their features sharp, their eyes wise and knowing. The shorter one leaned down, her face creased with concern.

“You’re on Namek,” she said, her voice a low, soothing rumble. “Our home. You crashed. Badly.”

Bulma’s heart leapt into her throat. “Namek? We’re… we’re finally here?”

The taller one nodded. “Yes. But your ship… it’s badly damaged. You nearly died.”

Bulma’s mind raced, her memories of the crash hazy and fragmented. She remembered the turbulence, the sudden, violent lurch of the ship, the scream of metal as it tore apart. She remembered the panic, the desperate grab for the controls, the darkness that claimed her.

“Who… who are you?” she asked, her voice steady despite the pounding of her heart.

The shorter one smiled, her eyes twinkling. “I am Raiti,” she said. “And this is Zaacro. We are… healers. We’ve been waiting for you.”

Bulma’s brow furrowed. “Waiting for us? But… but how did you know we were coming?”

Raiti’s smile widened, her eyes filled with a mix of mystery and mischief. “That, dear child, is a story for another time. For now, let’s just say… we have our ways.”

Bulma looked from one to the other, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and unease. They were on Namek. They had found it.

Launch groaned, her eyes fluttering open, her head throbbing like a drum. “What… what happened?” she muttered, her voice thick with sleep and pain.

Gohan and Krillin woke next, their eyes wide, their faces pale. They looked around, their gazes meeting Bulma’s, then shifting to the two tall, green figures standing over them.

“Where… where are we?” Gohan asked, her voice small and scared.

Bulma sat up, her body aching, her mind racing. “We’re on Namek,” she said, her voice steady despite the pounding of her heart. “We crashed. These… these women helped us.”

The shorter Namekian, Raiti, smiled. “Yes. We gave you emergency medical treatment. You were badly injured.”

Krillin, her brow furrowed, looked from one to the other. “You… you know why we’re here, don’t you? The Dragon Balls.”

Zaacro, the taller Namekian, nodded. “Yes. We know. And we can help.”

Launch sat up, her eyes narrowing. “How do you know? Who are you?”

Raiti’s smile widened, her eyes twinkling. “We are healers. And… we have our ways of knowing things. Just as your Kami did.”

Krillin’s eyes widened. “You… you know about Kami?”

Zaacro nodded. “Yes. And we can help. I will work on repairing your ship. Raiti will go with you, to guide you to the Dragon Balls.”

Bulma looked from one to the other, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and unease. They were finally here. They were finally on Namek. And they had help. But who were these women? What was their true purpose? And what secrets did they hold about the planet, about the Dragon Balls, about the universe itself? Only time would tell. But for now, they had a mission. They had a purpose. And they had a guide. They were one step closer to their goal. And Bulma, for one, couldn’t wait to see what the future held.

The hunt for the Dragon Balls was a whirlwind of adventure and danger. Launch, Krillin, Gohan, and Raiti, armed with Bulma’s Dragon Ball Radar, traversed the wild, unpredictable landscape of Namek. They forded raging rivers, climbed treacherous cliffs, and navigated dense, alien forests.

The first Dragon Ball was found in the bed of a fast-moving river, its surface glinting in the sunlight, half-buried in the silt. Gohan, her eyes wide with excitement, waded in, her small hands reaching for the prize. She pulled it out, her face breaking into a wide, triumphant grin, water streaming from her clothes.

The second was hidden in ancient ruins, nestled deep within the mouth of a skull carved into the wall. Krillin, her brow furrowed, studied the ruins, her eyes scanning the intricate carvings. “These… these aren’t Namekian,” she murmured. “They must be… ancestors. Or something.”

Raiti nodded, her expression solemn. “Yes. They are… older. Much older.”

The third Dragon Ball, however, proved to be more elusive. Before they could grab it, it was eaten by a giant lizard. They tracked it to a vast, steaming acid lake, the surface bubbling with toxic fumes. The Dragon Ball lay in the water, inside the skeleton of the lizzard, its surface dissolving, its light flickering.

Launch looked at the lake, her face pale. “There’s no way we’re getting that without protection,” she said, her voice grim.

Gohan nodded, her eyes wide with fear. “We… we need suits. Special suits.”

Raiti smiled, her eyes twinkling. “I can help with that. But first… we need to prepare. This will not be easy.”

Gohan, suited up in the protective gear Raiti had provided, stepped into the toxic acid lake, her heart pounding in her chest. The suit, a shimmering, iridescent material, hummed to life, its surface rippling with energy. She took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the Dragon Ball, its surface flickering, dying.

She waded in, the suit’s systems compensating for the heat, the acid, the pressure. She reached out, her fingers closing around the Dragon Ball, a triumphant cry escaping her lips. But just as she turned to leave, the suit began to dissolve, the acid eating through its protective layers.

Panic surged through her, her heart hammering in her chest. She fired her Masenko, the blast propelling her out of the lake with a force that left her gasping, the Dragon Ball clutched tightly in her hand.

Their next adventure took them to a desert, a vast expanse of sand and rock, the sun a blazing, merciless orb in the sky. The Dragon Ball was caught in a tornado, a swirling mass of sand and debris that had been going for centuries, according to Zaacro.

Krillin and Gohan stood at the base of the tornado, their faces set in grim determination. They blasted it with ki, their hands glowing with energy, their faces flushed with exertion. The tornado wavered, its base dissipating, the Dragon Ball falling, caught in the sand.

The next Dragon Ball was hidden in a giant castle, used as an earring by a massive cyclops. Bulma, Launch, Krillin, Gohan, and Zaacro stood at the window, their hearts pounding, their minds racing.

“Alright,” Bulma said, her voice steady despite the pounding of her heart. “We need a plan. We can’t just waltz in there and ask for it.”

Launch grinned, her eyes twinkling. “Well, I have an idea. It’s crazy. It’s dangerous. But… it might just work.”

Bulma, Launch, and Zaacro clambered into the giant’s toy airplane, their hearts pounding, their minds racing. Bulma took the controls, her fingers dancing over the strange, alien instruments, her eyes scanning the displays. She felt a surge of excitement, of exhilaration. This was it. This was the moment they had been waiting for.

Gohan and Krillin, meanwhile, faced off against the cyclops, their ki blasting against its skin, their voices shouting, commanding. But the cyclops was unyielding, its laughter echoing around them, its massive foot stomping, threatening. But they managed to get it, to grab the Dragon Ball from the giant’s ear.

Bulma gunned the engine, the plane lurching forward, its wheels leaving the ground. She banked sharply, the plane swooping down, its engine roaring. She flew low, skimming the surface of the mountain, her eyes fixed on Gohan and Krillin.

“Hold on!” she shouted, her voice barely audible over the roar of the engine. She pulled up, the plane climbing, Gohan and Krillin leaping, their bodies flying, catching the wing, hauling themselves in.

They made it. They were safe. Bulma let out a whoop of triumph, her heart swelling with pride and relief. She turned the plane, flying them back down to sea level, her eyes scanning the horizon, her mind racing.

Krillin, however, turned to look back at the mountain, her brow furrowed. “Wait… that… that castle. It… it’s gone.”

Bulma turned, her eyes widening in surprise. She looked, and sure enough, the castle was gone. But then, it reappeared, its spires rising from the peak, its architecture changing, shifting. It was no longer a medieval castle, but an Arabic one, its minarets and domes gleaming in the sunlight.

Zaacro turned to her, her eyes narrowing, suspicion clear on her face. “What… what just happened?” she asked, her voice low, dangerous.

Bulma swallowed, her mind racing. She didn’t know. She didn’t understand. But she knew one thing for sure. They had the Dragon Ball. They had made it out alive.

The next Dragon Ball seemed to be in a frozen tundra. The group huddled together an the icy cave, their breaths misting in the frigid air, their hearts pounding with excitement and fear. Bulma’s Dragon Ball Radar beeped, its display showing the seventh Dragon Ball, deep within the ice.

“We… we have to get it,” Gohan said, her voice a small, determined whisper. “We’re so close. We can’t stop now.”

Krillin nodded, her face set in grim determination. “I’ll go. I can use my ki to… to melt the ice.”

But as they moved deeper into the cave, Bulma noticed something. Something… off. She turned, her eyes scanning the group, her brow furrowed. “Wait… where’s Zaacro?”

The others turned, their eyes widening in surprise, in realization. They had been so focused on the Dragon Ball, on the mission, they hadn’t noticed her absence.

“She… she must have gotten left behind,” Launch said, her voice filled with concern. “We have to go back. We have to find her.”

Bulma shook her head, her mind racing. “No. We can’t… it’s too dangerous. We have to keep moving. We have to find the last Dragon Ball.”

They found it, buried deep in the ice, its surface glinting, flickering. Krillin melted the ice, her hands glowing with ki, her face flushed with exertion. She reached in, her fingers closing around the Dragon Ball, a triumphant cry escaping her lips.

But as she pulled it free, the cave groaned, the ice shifting, a massive cave-in starting. Bulma’s heart leapt into her throat, her mind racing. She grabbed the others, pulling them back, her voice shouting, commanding.

They ran through the collapsing ice tunnels, until a giant snowball seemed to come from nowhere, chasing them down. Krillin looked back as the massive ball of ice and snow barreled down on them.

“Kamehameha!” she screamed, her hands glowing with ki, her body tensing, releasing. The blast of energy tore through the cave, the ice shattering, the path clearing, just enough for them to escape.

They made it out, their hearts pounding, their bodies aching, their minds racing. They had six of the seven Dragon Balls. They were so close. But they had to find Zaacro. They had to find their friend. And they had to find the last Dragon Ball. They couldn’t stop now. Not when they were so close. Not when they had come this far. Not when they had fought so hard. They would not be stopped. Not by monsters, not by tornadoes, not by ice, not by anything. They would find the last Dragon Ball. They would bring their friends back. And they would face whatever lay ahead, together.

Bulma, Launch, Krillin, and Gohan trudged back to the home of their Namekian friends, their hearts pounding with anticipation, their minds racing with the excitement of the final Dragon Ball. But as they approached the small, cozy hut, they found it empty. No sign of Raiti, Zaacro, or any other Namekians. Come to think of it, they’d really only seen the two this whole time.

Bulma’s brow furrowed, her eyes scanning the empty home. “Where… where are they?” she murmured, her voice filled with concern.

Launch shook her head, her eyes wide with confusion. “I… I don’t know. They should be here. They said they’d be here.”

Krillin, however, was focused on something else. She was staring at the path leading away from the hut, her brow furrowed, her eyes narrowed. “This… this path,” she said, her voice low, thoughtful. “I’ve seen it before. But… but it was miles away. How can it be here?”

Launch turned to her, her eyes wide with confusion. “What are you talking about, Krillin? That makes no sense.”

Krillin shook her head, her mind racing. “I… I don’t know. But something’s wrong. I can feel it.”

Bulma, however, was already moving, her Dragon Ball Radar in her hand, its display showing the last Dragon Ball, close, so close. “Come on,” she said, her voice firm, determined. “We have to find it. We’re so close.”

They followed the path, the landscape shifting, changing, the terrain growing more and more unfamiliar. Krillin’s unease grew, her heart pounding, her mind racing. She knew this path. She had been here before, when chasing the giant lizard. But how? How could it be here? What was happening?

As they rounded a bend, they found themselves at the edge of a lake, the water calm, still, the surface glinting in the sunlight. The Dragon Ball lay in the water, its surface flickering. But as Gohan and Krillin floated over it, they stopped, their bodies suddenly, inexplicably, frozen in place. They looked down, their eyes widening in horror as they realized they were being held, grabbed by… by nothing.

“Krillin… Krillin, what’s happening?” Gohan cried, her voice filled with panic, with fear. “I… I can’t move!”

Suddenly, laughter echoed around them, cold, mocking, familiar. Raiti and Zaacro appeared, their faces twisted in cruel amusement, their eyes gleaming with malice.

“You shouldn’t have come here,” Raiti said, her voice a low, dangerous purr. “You shouldn’t have trusted us.”

Krillin’s heart leapt into her throat, her mind racing. “What… what are you talking about? You… you helped us. You saved us.”

Zaacro laughed, a cold, bitter sound. “Did we? Or did we… trap you?”

The world around them shimmered, shifted, dissolved. The lush landscape of Namek was replaced by a barren wasteland, the sky a sickly, yellowed orange, the ground a cracked, parched expanse of dust and rock. The lake was gone, replaced by a boiling tar pit, the surface bubbling, hissing, the stench of sulfur filling the air.

Krillin and Gohan, still held fast, hovered over the pit, their bodies trembling with fear, with revulsion. They looked down, their eyes widening in horror as they realized what was holding them. Tentacles, massive, writhing, rose from the tar, their surfaces slick, glistening, their ends tipped with sharp, hooked barbs.

Raiti and Zaacro, their faces twisted in cruel amusement, began to change. Their skin shifted, turning a sickly, putrid pink, their bodies growing, expanding, their features contorting, twisting into monstrous, grotesque parodies of their former selves.

“You… you’re not… you’re not Namekians,” Krillin stammered, her heart pounding, her mind racing.

Raiti laughed, a cold, bitter sound. “No. We’re not. We’re Illusions. We created Namek. We created everything you’ve seen. And now… now we have you.”

Zaacro leaned in, her eyes gleaming with malice. “You shouldn’t have come here, little ones. You shouldn’t have trusted us. But… it doesn’t matter now. You’re here. And you’re ours.”

Zaacro stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with malice. “You see, we’ve been here for years. Crashes landed here, on this… this hellhole. We’ve been waiting. Waiting for a chance to escape. And you… you’re that chance.”

Bulma’s heart pounded, her mind racing. “Our ship? You… you want our ship?”

Raiti laughed, a cold, bitter sound. “Yes. And we’ll have it. We know enough. We scanned your mind, Bulma. We know everything.”

Bulma’s blood ran cold, her stomach twisting with nausea. “You… you read my mind? You violated me?”

Zaacro smirked, her eyes gleaming with cruel amusement. “Yes. And we enjoyed it. But… we’re not done yet. We have a little… fun planned first.”

She reached into her pocket, pulling out two small, green pods. Futa beans. She tossed one to Raiti, who caught it, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. They both popped the beans into their mouths, their faces twisting in pleasure, their bodies beginning to change.

Bulma’s heart leapt into her throat, her mind racing. “No… no, please. Don’t do this. We can help you. We can work together.”

Raiti laughed, a cold, mocking sound. “Work together? No, Bulma. We don’t need your help. We need your ship.”

As they spoke, their bodies continued to change, their skin shifting as they both grew big, veiny, pink cocks. And as they changed, their eyes gleamed with a sickening hunger, a dark, twisted desire. They were going to take them. They were going to use them. And there was nothing Bulma, nothing anyone could do to stop them.

At the same time, Krillin and Gohan, still held fast by the unseen tentacles, were subjected to a horrific, violating rape by the unseen sea monsters. The tentacles, massive, writhing, rose from the tar, their surfaces slick, glistening, their ends tipped with sharp, hooked barbs. They pushed into them, violating them, filling them, in every hole.

Krillin screamed, her body convulsing as a tentacle pushed into her pussy, another into her ass, a third down her throat. She gagged, her body struggling, her ki flaring, but it was no use. She was held fast, trapped, at the mercy of the unseen monsters.

Gohan, her eyes wide with fear, with pain, was similarly violated. She could feel the tentacles, their surfaces slick, cold, their hooks digging into her flesh. She could feel them moving, writhing, filling her, using her, in ways she had never imagined, never wanted.

Meanwhile, in the other corner, Launch sneezed, her body convulsing, her form shifting, changing. She turned, her eyes widening in shock, in realization, as she found herself back in her gentle form, her dark blue hair cascading down her back, her body slim, strong. Bulma, her eyes wide with fear, with revulsion, watched as Raiti and Zaacro, their forms monstrous, grotesque, approached them, their eyes gleaming with sickening hunger.

Raiti grabbed Bulma, her hands rough, her strength immense. She threw her to the ground, her body landing with a thud, a jolt of pain shooting through her. She looked up, her eyes widening in horror as she saw what was coming for her. Raiti, her body a twisted, monstrous parody of a woman, her skin a sickly, putrid pink, her features contorted, grotesque, stood over her, a massive, glistening phallus protruding from her crotch.

“You… you’re going to rape me,” Bulma stammered, her heart pounding, her mind racing. “You’re going to violate me.”

Raiti laughed, a cold, bitter sound. “Yes. First your mind, and now your body. And you’re going to love it.”

Raiti, her eyes gleaming with cruel amusement, grabbed Bulma by the legs, spreading them wide, exposing her to the sickening sight of her monstrous phallus. Bulma screamed, her body struggling, her hands clawing at the parched earth, but it was no use. She was held fast, trapped, at the mercy of the monstrous creature.

Raiti pushed into her, her phallus massive, grotesque, filling her, violating her. Bulma screamed, her body convulsing, her mind reeling with the horror, the pain, the shame of it all. She could feel it, moving inside her, writhing, using her, in ways that made her stomach turn, her body recoil.

Meanwhile, Zaacro had turned her attention to Launch, her eyes gleaming with a dark, twisted desire. She grabbed Launch, her hands rough, her strength immense, throwing her to the ground beside Bulma. Launch struggled, her body writhing, her mind racing, but it was no use. She was held fast, trapped, just like Bulma.

Zaacro pushed into her, her phallus just as massive, just as grotesque as Raiti’s. Launch screamed, her body convulsing as she was fucked next to Bulma.

Meanwhile, Krillin and Gohan continued to be violated by the sea monsters. Krillin’s screams echoed around them, a chorus of pain, of shame, of horror. She could feel the tentacles, their surfaces slick, cold, their hooks digging into her flesh. Gohan, her eyes wide with fear, with pain, was similarly violated. They could feel them moving, writhing, pumping into each of their holes mercilessly.

The air was thick with the sounds of violation—guttural moans, wet, rhythmic slaps, and the choked, desperate cries of the heroines. The two monstrous futa women, Raiti and Zaacro, loomed over Bulma and Launch, their grotesque, glistening phalluses pistoning in and out of them with brutal, unyielding force.

Bulma’s hand scrabbled across the cracked ground, her fingers finding Launch’s. Their hands locked together, a desperate, white-knuckled grip. It was their only anchor in the storm of degradation. Bulma’s head was thrown back, her teeth gritted, a long, broken moan torn from her throat as Raiti’s massive cock hit a spot deep inside her that sent jolts of unwanted, shameful pleasure through her core. “Nnngh… Launch…!” she gasped, her body arching against her will.

Beside her, Launch’s face was a mask of pained ecstasy. Zaacro’s thrusts were slower, deeper, each one a deliberate, grinding invasion that made Launch’s toes curl. “B-Bulma…!” she whimpered, her blue hair splayed out in the dust. Their eyes met, a shared look of horror and a strange, twisted solidarity in their mutual defilement. The sight of each other being so thoroughly used, their bodies bouncing and jiggling with the force of the rapes, was both humiliating and, perversely, arousing. A dark, shared heat bloomed between their joined hands.

Across the tar pit, Krillin and Gohan were ensnared in a different kind of nightmare. The tentacles were relentless, their slick, muscular forms coiling and uncoiling inside them. Krillin thrashed, her small body straining against the invading bonds. “G-Gohan! Fight it!” she grunted, but the plea was cut short as a particularly thick tentacle buried itself deeper into her ass, stretching her to her limit. She could feel every bump and ridge, a grotesque mockery of intimacy. Her pussy and mouth were similarly stuffed full, leaving her unable to do anything but gurgle and moan around the invasive flesh.

Gohan, younger and more fragile, was sobbing openly, tears cutting tracks through the grime on her face. The tentacles violating her were slightly thinner, but no less relentless, pumping into her virgin holes with a speed that stole her breath. She tried to clench, to push them out, but her body was too full, too stretched, her own muscles working against her as they were forced to accommodate the violating intrusions. A high, keening whine was all she could manage, her world narrowed to the overwhelming sensation of being filled in every possible way, her struggles growing weaker as a terrifying, involuntary pleasure began to build deep within her violated core.

“That’s it, you sneezing bitch,” Zaacro grunted, her hips slamming into Launch with a wet, meaty smack. “Take it all. You love this, don’t you? You love being a monster’s little whore.” She leaned down, her hot, foul breath washing over Launch’s ear. “Your pussy’s gripping me like a fist, you slut. You’re born for this.”

Beside them, Raiti laughed, a harsh, grating sound as she watched Bulma’s body jiggle with every thrust. “Look at the genius,” she sneered, driving her monstrous cock deeper, making Bulma cry out. “So smart, so clever… and now you’re just a set of holes for me to fuck. Your brain is useless now, isn’t it? All you’re good for is being a cocksleeve.” She reached down and pinched Bulma’s nipple hard, twisting it. “Come on, scream for me, you rich slut. Let everyone hear how much you love it.”

Across the tar pit, the psychic whispers of the sea creatures echoed in Krillin and Gohan’s minds, a chorus of alien mockery. “Struggle is futile, little morsels. Your bodies betray you. You clench around us, you suck us deeper. You are nothing but vessels for our pleasure.”

A thick tentacle pulsed within Krillin’s ass, and she let out a choked sob. “N-No…!”

“Deny it all you want,” the voice hissed in her mind. “But your cunt is dripping. You are a wet, willing little whore for our kind.”

Gohan’s mind was a haze of shame and overwhelming sensation. “Such a tender, young hole,” a different, slithering voice cooed. “We will ruin you for any other. You will always remember the feel of us filling you, stretching you, making you our perfect, fucked-out little doll.”

The dual assaults, physical and psychological, were breaking them down, stripping away their defiance and replacing it with a horrifying, degrading acceptance. They were being remade, right there in the wasteland, into the very things their captors called them.

Raiti’s thrusts became frantic, her monstrous body shuddering. “I’m gonna fill this smart cunt up,” she grunted, her voice thick with impending release. “Plant my seed right in her slutty womb. Let her remember me every time she looks at her bastard child.”

“No,” Zaacro snarled, her own rhythm faltering as she neared her peak. She delivered a sharp slap to Launch’s ass. “That’s too cruel, even for us. Leaving them here, swollen with our get? Just cum on their faces. Let them wear our mark.”

With a synchronized roar of triumph, both monsters pulled their grotesque, dripping cocks from the well-used holes of their victims. Thick, hot ropes of alien cum erupted, splattering across Bulma and Launch’s faces, coating their skin, matting their hair, and dripping into their horrified, open mouths.

A large, glistening glob landed directly on the bridge of Launch’s nose. Her eyes crossed, trying to look at it. A tremendous, convulsive sneeze wracked her body.

A-CHOO!

The timid, blue-haired Launch was gone. In her place, the blonde, wild-eyed version snapped into existence, her face a mask of fury beneath the layer of foul-smelling jizz.

“YOU FUCKING BITCHES!” she roared.

Her hands, now free with the monsters distracted by their climax, blurred. A heavy machine gun materialized from seemingly nowhere. Without a second’s hesitation, she opened fire.

BRRRRRRRRRT!

The barrage of bullets didn’t pierce the monsters’ thick hides, but the sheer concussive force was like being hit by a truck. Raiti and Zaacro were thrown backward, their bodies slamming into the hard ground with sickening crunches. They lay still, unconscious, their victory stolen in an instant by a sneeze and a hail of lead.

Silence returned to the wasteland, broken only by Launch’s heavy panting and the soft, horrified weeping of her friends.

The silence was shattered by Krillin’s choked sob and Gohan’s high-pitched whimper as the tentacles continued their relentless violation. The psychic mockery echoed in their minds, a fresh wave of humiliation.

“Launch!” Bulma screamed, wiping the foul cum from her eyes with a furious swipe of her arm. Her voice was raw but held a core of steel. “The tentacles! Shoot the fucking tentacles!”

Blonde Launch’s eyes, blazing with unspent rage, snapped from the unconscious monsters to the tar pit. She didn’t hesitate. She swung the heavy machine gun, her finger tightening on the trigger.

BRRRRRRRRRT!

A storm of lead tore across the surface of the boiling tar. The bullets didn’t seem to hit anything solid, but the effect was immediate. The tentacles recoiled violently, writhing in what could only be pain or surprise. The brutal, rhythmic fucking of Krillin and Gohan ceased for a precious, vital second.

It was all the opening they needed.

With a simultaneous cry of effort and revulsion, Krillin and Gohan tore themselves free from the loosened grip. They fell to the hard ground beside the pit, their bodies slick with tar and other fluids, gasping and shuddering.

“Run!” Krillin yelled, her voice cracking. She scrambled to her feet, grabbing a dazed Gohan by the arm.

Bulma was already moving, pulling a stunned but compliant Launch along. “The ship! Don’t look back!”

The four of them, battered, violated, and covered in filth, sprinted across the barren wasteland, their only goal the distant, organic shape of their Namekian vessel—their one chance of escape from the hellish planet and the monsters that called it home.

Their feet pounded against the strange, organic metal of the ship’s ramp, the hiss of the closing hatch a blessed sound of sanctuary. Through the viewport, they could see Raiti and Zaacro stirring in the distance, their monstrous forms beginning to push themselves up from the dust.

“Namek antu karr!” Bulma screamed, her voice raw but commanding, the Namekian words for launch tearing from her throat. The ship shuddered, then lifted with a deep, resonant hum. The barren, orange hellscape fell away beneath them, shrinking into a insignificant, ugly speck against the star-dusted black of space.

A heavy, devastated silence filled the cabin, broken only by the ship’s ambient hum and the ragged, traumatized breathing of its occupants. Gohan, huddled in a corner, her homemade Piccolo gi torn and stained, finally broke. A low, heart-wrenching sob escaped her, then another, building into a torrent of tears.

“It was all a lie,” she wept, her small body shaking. “The Dragon Balls… Ms. Piccolo… we were so close! And they… they just… they used us and… and…” She couldn’t finish, the memory of the violating tentacles and the mocking voices too fresh, too horrific.

Krillin wrapped an arm around her, her own face a mask of shared pain and fury, but she had no words.

Bulma, her own body aching and her spirit bruised, pushed herself up from the pilot’s chair. She knelt in front of Gohan, her expression fierce with a protective, determined love that overshadowed her own humiliation.

“Listen to me, Gohan,” Bulma said, her voice soft but unwavering. She placed a hand on the child’s knee. “That wasn’t Namek. That was a trap. A nasty, ugly trap set by nasty, ugly monsters.” She forced a small, brave smile. “But the real Namek is still out there. I know it is. And its Dragon Balls are real. We’re going to find it. We’re going to find them. And we are going to bring Piccolo back.”

She looked from Gohan’s tear-streaked face to Krillin’s grim one, and then to Launch, who was silently cleaning her machine gun with a terrifying focus.

“We got hurt,” Bulma admitted, her voice gaining strength. “We got tricked. But we survived. We escaped. And we’re not giving up. We’re the Z-Fighters, damn it. And we’ve got a job to do.”

She stood up, turning back to the star-filled viewport. “Now, let’s find the real Namek.”

—–

Back on the surface of the desolate planet, the air was thick with the stench of sulfur and failure. Raiti and Zaacro, their monstrous pink forms now looking bruised and pathetic, staggered to their feet. The dust from the ship’s departure still hung in the air, a taunting cloud of their lost salvation.

“You idiot!” Raiti shrieked, rounding on Zaacro. Her voice was a ragged screech. “You had to have your ‘fun’! We could have been halfway to a civilized system by now!”

“My fun?!” Zaacro roared back, shoving Raiti hard. “You were the one who wanted to cum inside the blue-haired one! If we’d just killed them and taken the ship—”

“If we’d just killed them, we wouldn’t have known how to pilot it, you blubbering fool! We needed her mind!” Raiti shot back, her claws extending.

Their argument was so venomous, so all-consuming, that they failed to notice the subtle shift in the tar pit behind them. The surface, which had grown still after the gunfire, began to bubble once more. Thick, glistening tentacles slithered silently from the boiling muck.

They were so engrossed in their mutual blame that they didn’t feel the first slick coils wrap around their ankles.

“It was your plan from the start!” Zaacro snarled.

“Your illusion was too weak! They saw through it!” Raiti screamed.

It was only when the tentacles yanked hard, pulling their feet out from under them, that their shouting turned to screams of genuine terror. They landed hard on the cracked ground, their monstrous forms being dragged inexorably backward toward the pit.

“No! NO!” Raiti shrieked, her claws digging futilely into the hard soil.

Zaacro thrashed, her powerful limbs straining against the force. “Let go of us, you mindless filth!”
