"Whoosh… whoosh…"
In the cold, empty streets, a few fallen leaves drifted slowly with the gentle breeze.
This is Kaiselukin, the capital of the world. However, ever since Demon King Piccolo beca the ruler, the once bustling Kaiselukin has turned into a desolate ghost town.
Many, many people have died. The survivors try to escape, and those who remain are only the elderly, the infirm who can't leave, and a handful of vicious criminals.
At one point, a small red-haired head peeked out from a supermarket on the roadside, cautiously observing the surroundings before a petite figure darted out.
She was a young girl searching for food.
Clutching the water and food she had collected, the girl ran down the street with all her might.
Though many people had left the city, those who left were the good-hearted ones, while the wicked criminals and thugs remained. If she were to encounter them, her strength alone wouldn't be enough to resist.
Relying on her wits, the girl had bravely survived in this demon-infested city for over a month. However, her luck seed to run out today.
"Ah…"
As she turned a street corner, she collided with a group of n, spilling the water and food she was carrying all over the ground. She cried out in pain as she fell to the ground.
"Hey, boss, it's a little girl."
"Heh, she's kind of cute, actually!"
"Not bad, not bad—our luck's looking pretty good today."
Wielding various sticks and weapons, the n surrounded the girl, their eyes glinting with malice.
Without a doubt, they were the criminals and thugs who had stayed in the city!
"Uh…"
"S-sorry… I'm sorry…"
Terrified, the girl quickly apologized, hoping these bad n might take pity and spare her.
Her hope was pure, but reality was rciless—
"Little girl, didn't your parents teach you to be polite and not to bump into others?"
"You've hurt us, so you need to compensate us," one of the n said, feigning pain.
"Yeah, that's right, little girl, you need to compensate us!"
The man she had bumped into pretended to wince, and the other n joined in mockingly.
Though young, the clever girl realized they were deliberately giving her a hard ti, and fear welled up in her heart.
"H-how do you want to compensate you?" she stamred, holding back tears.
"Heh, heh, you don't seem to have anything to offer, so why don't you just compensate us with yourself?"
"Co with us, little girl. We'll show you a good ti," they laughed sinisterly, and the girl's face turned pale.
Even she knew that this so-called "good ti" was anything but.
"No… no…"
"Help ! Sobody, please help …"
She could no longer bear the terror inside her; tears stread from her eyes.
But the more vulnerable she looked, the more it fueled the twisted souls of these thugs.
Though she was young, she was still "playable" for those with depraved tastes. For certain depraved n, the girl before them was the very picture of perfection.
"Go on, cry! No one's coming to save you!"
"Hahaha!"
Just as they reveled in their twisted joy, a beam of light shot through the air, piercing the heart of one thug.
"I… I…"
Expression frozen, the thug with the pierced heart fell to the ground with a thud.
"Who's there?!"
"Aaaah!"
The remaining thugs' fear quickly turned to rage, but more beams shot out, and, amid their panicked screams, they all collapsed, dead.
Everything happened so fast that the girl forgot to cry, staring blankly as a few figures descended from the sky.
It was a handso young man and a few beautiful young won.
It was Yuujin and the ladies, Violet among them!
Having just arrived in Kaiselukin and planning to take down Demon King Piccolo, Yuujin had noticed what was happening below and stopped to eliminate the thugs who dared to harass a little girl.
"Are you okay, little one?"
Landing on the ground, Yuujin wiped away the girl's tears and asked her gently.
The girl looked very young, even younger than Goku and Chi-Chi, with red hair and a sweet, round face.
"Y-yes, I'm okay."
"Big brother, big sisters, are you gods?"
Regaining her composure, the girl asked timidly.
Having seen them fly and destroy the thugs with finger beams, she couldn't help but ask, though Yuujin and the ladies found her question amusing—this little girl was surprisingly accurate in her guess.
"You could say that," Yuujin replied with a smile. "My na is Yuujin. What's your na, little one?"
"My na is Suno," she replied.
"Suno? Where's your ho, and why are you out here alone? It's dangerous out here."
"M-my ho is in a small village in the north. I ca as my village's representative to present flowers to the King at his coronation. But… but…"
Thinking of the terrifying mories, the girl's tears started to fall again, but after hearing her na and story, a glint of recognition flashed in Yuujin's eyes.
No wonder she looked so familiar—she was Suno!
In the original Dragon Ball, young Goku had befriended a girl nad Suno, who had saved him when he passed out from the cold in the snow.
Yuujin rembered that in the original story, when Demon King Piccolo attacked Kaiselukin, Suno had indeed been there as a representative to present flowers to the King. And now, fate had brought them together.
"You've had a hard ti. It's okay; don't cry anymore. Crying won't make you look pretty."
"Don't worry. We're going to defeat Demon King Piccolo soon. Before long, peace will be restored, and you can go back ho and reunite with your family."
"You… you're going to defeat Demon King Piccolo, Lord Yuujin?" she asked in disbelief.
Yuujin comforted Suno, who looked at him in astonishnt.
After all, she had witnessed Demon King Piccolo decimate the King's army. Could soone so powerful really be defeated?
"Of course. Do you want to co with us?"
Yuujin smiled at her.
Though it seed impossible, a glimr of hope stirred in Suno's heart. After all, Yuujin and the others had easily dispatched the thugs. If anyone could do it, maybe they could?
After a mont of inner struggle, Suno finally made her decision—
"Yes, I want to go with you!"
Clenching her fist, the girl nodded firmly.
With a smile, Yuujin patted her head.
"A brave little one."
"Princess Snake, protect her."
"Yes, Master."
