[This is the first chapter of Dragon Ball SU. The parenthesis sign means the character is thinking. Letters in italics indicate a narration. Good chapter!]
Location: Planet Sadala. Caulifla was eating a large piece of roast meat on her commander's "throne", while waiting for some mission.
Caulifla: Damn, how boring this place is. At least I can eat real food, and not that tasteless soup that Vados made on the trip.
Kale enters the room accompanied by King Sadala.
Kale: Caulifla, the king wants to talk to me, you and Kyabe.
Caulifla: King Sadala... You can talk to me and Kale first, I'll let Kyabe know later.
Sadala: Very well then. I just received the tournament report from Kaioshin, and I learned that the three of you demonstrated transformations in the tournament.
Caulifla: Yes, so what?
Sadala: I forbid you from using these transformations, whether on a mission or not, you will never transform again. Did you hear?
Caulifla: But why?
Sadala: Do not question your king! My decisions are only for everyone's safety. Then? Do we have a deal?
Caulifla: Yes, King Sadala.
Kale: Caulifla...
King Sadala leaves the room and, some time later, Kyabe appears.
Kyabe: I'm here, girls, what's the emergency?
Caulifla: For some reason, King Sadala banned us from transforming into Super Saiyans.
Kyabe: But why that?
Caulifla: Whatnot.
Kale: I know...
Caulifla: Do you know, Kale?
Kale: The king told me not to tell you, but...
Kyabe: Kale, it's important that we know why he doesn't want us to use the Super Saiyan. Please tell us.
Kale: The king spoke to me alone and explained everything. Our transformations are prohibited because they have caused much destruction and death in the past. He also told me that, in the past, Saiyans had monkey tails and could transform into giant monkeys at a full moon. It's all I know.
Caulifla: Tails? It must be very bizarre to have a tail on your butt.
Kyabe: Well, that explains a lot. Mr. Vegeta told me that he also had a tail and that he transformed into a giant monkey. This transformation is called "Oozaru" and was uncontrolled except for elite Saiyans who had special training.
Kale: King Sadala must be afraid of Oozaru returning.
Caulifla: Even so, it still doesn't explain why Super Saiyan is prohibited. The Super Saiyan has nothing to do with a tail, much less a giant monkey.
Kyabe: I think we can only obey for now.
The trio continued their normal routine throughout the week and the Super Saiyan was not needed on the missions, luckily for them. On the planet Lard, Caulifla was eating the paw of the villain she defeated, which was a huge hairless mammoth-like mammal. A small ship lands on the planet and a person emerges from the capsule and then goes to where Caulifla is.
???: Hi sis!
Caulifla: That voice... It can't be! Teeb!
Potati: You guessed it! Stay smart as always, little sister.
Caulifla: You're still alive! How did you find me?
Potati: I felt your Ki when you fought that animal you're eating.
Caulifla: You're not planning to return to Planet Sadala, are you?
Potati: Those backward people never interested me, but the new Super Saiyans, on the other hand...
Caulifla: Disgraceful slut! Will you dare to return home even after everything?! Are you stupid or what...
Potati interrupted Caulifla's speech, holding her mouth and lifting her off the ground. She screams Caulifla and throws her against a rock.
Potati: Don't talk to me like that! That's not how you welcome your older sister after so long
Caulifla: What do you want?
Potati: Prove to dad that he was wrong, I'm not the weaker between the two of us.
Caulifla: (She wants to fight?! Damn, I'm forbidden from transforming, but I'm so far from Sadala...) So you want to fight? Come at me!
Potati: No. It's better to do it in front of daddy
Caulifla: Dad died.
Potati: Liar!
Caulifla: He died right after Mom, as soon as you left.Neither of you could stand to see the executioner you had become.
Potati: This is their fault! They who did that to me saw me as a monster, they didn't like me like they liked you.You were always the favorite, but now, I'm back and I'm going to prove to everyone that you're not the perfect girl they think!
Potati returns to his ship and takes off. The next day, Caulifla goes to a neighboring planet, where she meets Kyabe and Kale.
Kyabe: What happened, Caulifla?
Caulifla: Planet Sadala is in danger, I need you to help me find my sister before she gets there.
Kale: Sister?
Kyabe: Don't worry, it's a lot of information at once. So you have a sister and Planet Sadala is in danger. That's right?
Caulifla: Yes.
Kale: Explain this properly, Caulifla.
Caulifla: First, know that I have an older sister. She's half Saiyan and half Tsufurujin, just like me, but she takes more after her mom.
Kale: Tsufurujin?
Kyabe: The Tsufurujins are the race that lives on the planet neighboring Planet Sadala, right, Caulifla?
Caulifla: Yes, and my mother was one. I'm also half Tsufurujin, but I take a little more after my father.My sister's name is "Potati" and she was elite before being exiled for some reason I don't know. What matters is that my sister is back and wants revenge on everyone she hates, or at least has a reason to, including me.
Kyabe: But what do you do for her?
Caulifla: Well...
An alarm sounds on Cabba's ship and he goes to check what it is.
Potati(hologram): Hello, bunch of Jugorh heads. I came to let you know that I'm not going to do anything for now. You are very weak, get stronger in a maximum of 1 year. Until then...
The hologram dissolves with a deep, bad laugh.
Kyabe: Only 1 year?! I have to tell Mister Vegeta quickly, maybe he can help.
Caulifla: No, Kyabe! Universe 7 has already humiliated us too much for an entire incarnation.
Kyabe: But Caulifla...
Caulifla: No no and no!
Kale: So what are we going to do?
Caulifla: Apparently, my lie about my father dying gave us 1 year to train. Kyabe, no matter King Sadala's order, we will transform when my sister comes.
Kyabe: But it's a direct order from the king
Caulifla: Do you want to die?! If you want, don't transform. But if you want to live, you better get Super Saiyan 3 soon!
Kyabe: It's OK.
In the days that followed, the three trained more intensely than ever before.Cabba also committed himself, even though he was weak at first. After 4 months of training, Caulifla took a break and went to King Sadala's castle.The castle is a huge crater that goes underground, it is circular in shape, and the walls have doors that lead to underground tunnels, in addition to the medieval decoration with a futuristic arab mix.
Caulifla: Did you want to see me, dad?
Sadala: Yes my dear.
Caulifla: Do not treat me like this! I'm not a child anymore!
Sadala: Alright, my big girl. I heard that you and your friends are training every day for some reason and didn't go on your missions. Can you explain to me why this is?
Caulifla: Potati's back. Or rather, it will come back, in 1 year. I told her that you died shortly after mom.
Sadala: If I can't call you "my dear", don't be formal with me either. Speaking of your mother...I miss her.
Caulifla: Daddy, did you call me just to remember mommy?
Sadala: Sorry, I lost focus. Your sister will bring a lot of trouble if she comes back. *Sigh* Just now that we are almost reaching a peace agreement with the Tsufurujins. Caulifla, it is your duty to prevent your sister from reaching Planet Sadala before the peace agreement is signed.
Caulifla: That's it? I already knew it.
Sadala: It is extremely important that you are able to do this, Caulifla. Otherwise, in addition to the problem with the Tsufurujins being reignited, I'll have to use that.
Caulifla: You and your legend of O...
Sadala: Don't say it out loud! And it's not a legend. Now listen well As commander, you have your combat unit, so I give you permission to summon them when Teeb arrives.
Caulifla: I don't think I'll need it. But thanks anyway. Anything else?
Sadala: Can not go. And don't forget to wash your socks.
Caulifla: I already told you I'm not a child anymore!
Caulifla says goodbye to her father and would have her training at the official Saiyan army training camp. In the mountains, Kyabe trained with Kale. Changing the scene a little, Potati was on a different planet, eating an animal he had just hunted, when, suddenly, a Namekian approaches her.
???: Hey, still thinking about revenge?
Potati: Don't bother me, Fenil!
Fenilil: I still think you should leave this story in the past, buried with this hurt.
Potati: And I thought only old Namekians made these boring speeches.
Fenil: I'm just thinking sensibly.
