After spending so much time in the Devil's Hand area and Lab with Kakarot Prime, Bulma was happy to get out for some fun again. When the 2nd Mult-form of Kakarot came back returning with some hired construction workers from Central City, she hoped at the chance to head out with him.
Two of the Water Based Demons were also coming. A pair of Demon Lobster brothers to help determine the influence the Multi-Forms would have on the Majin Marked creatures. Teaching them the Transformation Magic and experimenting on their internal organs already yielded good results.
They could survive deep-pressure environments for long periods, it was determined. Kakarot said in jest one day that they would make suitable spacesuits materials, only once as a joke! The two brothers cried enough to make a red lake ruining one of the labs.
It was just as well since he was on his way to recover an actual Capsule Corp project that Bulma came with.
"So what's down here again?" Bulma asked from her submersible.
"SSS-type almighty Capsule Corporation robot C-6," Kakarot said in the communicator in his helmet. The aquatic gear was not that much different than his spacesuit. More adaptable for the water, though. "you can assimilate the Dimensional Knowledge since it doesn't exist in our Original Dimension."
They just descended low enough that the water turned darker.
"How about no to that. I will check the Capsule Corp Database instead." Bulma said wryly. Her study of Quantum Physics had increased her curiosity about travel and adventure, which emphasized the need to increase her strength and combat abilities. "I am sure something is inside detail-wise."
"Alright," Kakarot watched the shellfish demons swim about happily. The none magic environment was new to them but also.. cleaner, for lack of a better word. "I will search around the area for now. This much of the area should not be underwater. Need to check to see if any new animal or something developed by mistake."
Pushing his movement in the suit to the limits, he travelled around a radius of a mile or so. Marking a few locations that looked like building remains with flags did not bode well. The buildings did not look like they belonged at all.
"No marks on the Net about a landslide or movement to this location by any different parties. Police radios are silent as well as Emergency channels past logs." He was speaking into the recorder in his helmet while documenting visually. "Something about this feels off, though. Cause and Effect say some areas should be different due to changes and migration patterns, but not like this."
A few dino herds and strange vegetation that he collected samples of over a few hours defintely eased him down enough. Figuring he was being paranoid, it was best to return to Bulma and the others.
The demons with her didn't act up in anyway. Which was good.
The two shellfish Demons excavated the place carefully. Robots floating about recording everything. A few of the disc-type recorders had robotic arms to gather material for observation later.
A few 100 bones were gathered up. The process to put them all together would take countless weeks to restore an artificial image, even with the use of the Aspect of History and advanced Technology to help back at the Devil's Hand area.
"Hey, we got him out!" Bulma shouted into the comms with joy. "Come check him out!"
C-6 was a giant robot that had defintely seen better days. After being underwater for so long, it was a miracle it still functioned. Mechanical parts flickered and twitched.
The Region around was initially a desert, but the changes to the Earth had shifted a few regions about to allow an increase in water. It wouldn't be to bad if it weren't saltwater. Filtering it out would be to troublesome, and using pumps would take a lot of effort.
"Stop yelling; I am on my way." Kakarot II swam over to check it out. Memory served it had several systems that were offline in the future when it was initially discovered. "Let's check the memory banks."
Bulma plugged into the other side and started to do repairs. Kakarot II started to copy its Systems. It had human-based patterns that gave it sympathy and self-sacrifice within its programming, which would go a long way for study later. Even a 70ish-year-old robot had better development from Capsule Corp than the Red Ribbon Army.
"Pulling it out to the surface," Bulma announced. Her submersible started moving back, taking the down C-6 along with. "See you up top." Watching her leave, a light caught the others' attention.
*Shine!* Negative energy floated up from below. Quite a lot of it at once. Notifying Bulma to check her instruments proved the robot had some coated on it as well. The genius would make sure to use the appropriate gloves before touching them.
"Right." Kakarot II searched through the spot it was formerly at and froze. "No flipping way!"
A plate that depicted the creature Hirudegarn and its people in-fighting was visible enough. With the music box not to far away to the side. Luckily the Magic Absorbtion Bracers one out and prevent the Corrupted Demon God from getting out.
"Capusleing for now, not risking it." Speaking over his comms while getting to work, Kakarot contacts the Prime about the discovery. Passing the message that Towa needed to get here to subdue the thing or at least seal it up further. 'If this thing gets free, we are all dead in a matter of days during this Time Period!'
He would not risk that it didn't open somehow or that the sealed creature inside wouldn't gain enough energy to break itself out. It could be any version of the beast, and that defintely was a no-go.
'True, I can't beat it in a contest either of the Spirit to try. It has centuries and much higher magic in it than I do. But sealed, I can disrupt it and drain it over the years like the Dragonballs after some checks are run. The technology we have is not at the point we can drain it yet either.' Prime Kakarot thought back troubled. 'Just another problem of the Dimensions fusing so crazily and early.'
'Could be worse, Cooler Subsidiary Dimensions could be fused into this one already.' Kakarot II thought back before focusing on work. 'The Frieza issue might have corrected itself.. who knows. Well, it is in deep space, so it would take some time to arrive here anyway by ship.'
*Schup!* Towa appeared in the water a few seconds later in a barrier of Ki. Placing the capsule after sealing it up entirely into her Spear Scepter with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't even attempt to remove it from the capsule out of not wanting to deal with the destruction it would cause.
'Stay in this Region and keep excavating. Chances of something else being in the vicinity is not low.' Thinking to the Multiform, she whipped her head around, checking with her magic for a brief moment. 'Take the territory as your own should help further to push your abilities as a Champion.'
'So testing the notion out then?' He asked, moving his tail across the ruined pieces to uncover more. Towa just nodded in the affirmative before leaving. 'Well.. how abrupt. Busy lady.. demon. Alternate Kai person. Classification is just strange with her kind, actually.'
Picking through further down, a few more pieces that depicted the History of Hirudegarn appeared. Oddly it contained all humans with no bipedal anamorphic creatures being in the lot. Humans from Earth at that having found it.
Something that was never done beforehand in the movie or other various adaptations, he thought briefly. Then again, Toei Studios purchased everything Dragonball and various iterations related like Disney did in his Dimension, so all kinds of stuff could pop up out of the woodworks. Funny how people forgot licensing was a joke to most countries and something to sue over if you have the means and money in others.
'If I find one more problem, I will not happy.' He was thinking the same thing as most of the other Multiforms. 'At least I am not dealing with all the Red Ribbon nonsense.'

Topside-

Feeling a few people up top besides Bulma, Kakarot flew out with everything he found stored away. The good news it seemed to be people she new. A lovely purple head woman with blue eyes and a large man that looked like Frankenstein's Monster.
"Android 8 and Colonel Violet.. alright, I'll bite; what's going on?"
"Hey, took you awhile down there, this Eighter and Violet, but helped a lot while back when I moved around with Chichi and my sister. Don't hold the red Ribbon History against them. A few soldiers are setting up a campsite." Bulma said with a smile.
"Your Kakarot, huh.. not bad." Violet gave him a look over as he took off the swimwear. Eyes lighting up playfully at the tail sticking out. 'He is a monkey man maybe; how cute.'
Her care towards animals was higher than towards humans. Only modern love for convenience an money prevented her from taking up the vocation of Animal Care instead of being a Mercenary.
"Pleased to meet you." Android 8 said simply with a wave. He was a little shy but not to bad overall. No different than his original setting by the looks of it.
Bulma had removed a good bit of the programming by the Red Ribbon Army already before she met Kakarot. Thus, the Android was free to act as he wanted without fear of accidentally harming someone.
"I heard you and Chichi have some kind of bet going on." Violet looked him up and down, wanting to test his overall strength out in a fight. Like most, she couldn't wait until the firearm development caught up with the application of Ki more. "How about Bulma and me help you spar a bit to get ready?"
"Oh?' It was an intriguing idea all the same. 'The information obtained from Yamcha's mind read revealed most under the Capsule Corp knew the Crane Style or Turtle Style. With the top members knowing some of the Kaioshin Style. 'Variety is a part of training that has lacked for me.'
"I get paid either way." She gave Bulma a side look, who smiled. "You didn't tell him?"
"Nope, it was supposed to be for later. Let me get into the right gear for this to help." Bulma changed into a Gi that had the Capsule Corp logo on the front but Devil's Hand flag on the back to represent affiliation to Kakarot. "Together, we are stronger than him, so it should be promising."
The two women stood a good distance apart before nodding to each other. With practice movements, they did the Fusion Dance and became one. The power released was definitely higher than Kakarot's and had a good flow of magic around it.
*Fwoosh!* The Ki pressure sent dust flying pass the Multiform, who closed one eye to prevent dust from getting into it. The other was open. Watching from behind the scouter at the rise in various energies.
"Well, I hope you don't really disappoint us." The purple-haired woman's tone was defintely provoking. She had the right to be as she was defintely stronger than him by a good margin. "If not, it is gonna be 30 minutes of us kicking your ass! The name's Bulvi, by the way!"
"Well.. let's do it then!" Kakarot dashed forward at the fused fighter. "Bah!"
Firing a mouth beam point blank was not as devastating as he thought it would be. The fusion Bulvi didn't even come at him. Just floating with a smug expression that was very much both of them in every way.
"That the best you got?" She even did the come hither motion with her finger.
"Tch!" Kakarot II used Bulk Up and came at her with everything he had. Each blow shakes the air and sends dust flying. 'This is exactly what I need to understand the speed fighting of the Namekians style that has the least amount of power output!'
"Using a techniqine to do more damage, smart!" Bulvi delivered a kick to his jaw sending him flying back with ease. "How can you last like that, though?" Disappearing from the spot, she appeared behind him, delivering another power bow directly to the back.
"Kuh!" Spittled flew out of his mouth with at least a few bones cracking. "Let's find out!" Her words were just to provoking and defintely contained something more in them. "Hah!" He did a back kick to return the favor from before.
"Go Great Ape before its to late, Kakarot!" Bulvi only had a bust lip from the kick. "Or else this will be to boring!" He ignored her of course. "The hard way it is!" Finger raised up, he ws not ready for the light show. "Tri-Blast!"
*Pew!* A beam of light shot out, piercing the Multiform in the shoulder.
*Pew!* A second shot came immediately after piercing the other shoulder.
*Pew!* A third hitting him in the stomach. He found immediately after why it was called Tri-Blast. Something was embedded in each of the holes. The Ki was condensed light a compact explosive.
*Boom!* Detonating at once, Kakrot II scream was drowned out by the sound of the explosion itself. He shot out of the smoke striking in piercing attacks. Eyes glowing a little with ki bursts. A chunk of the Spirit energy dissipated that it was noticeable to the Multiforms.
"You may have gone to far." Eighter said worriedly.
"Nonsense. I brought him to near death. If he can't survive this, he has no hope of winning in the future." Her expression was still smug. Combined with Colonel Violet's personality and what Bulma knew, they were going to forcefully exploit the Saiyan Power by testing every theory the scientist currently had. "Besides, he didn't tap out yet."
The Multiform was fighting on pure survival instinct. Of course Prime could force back control but there was no reason. The remaining few months would be the most intense for the weakest of the Multiforms at that time.
With only the Namekian style to fall back on while fighting, the traits started adapt more. His Ki was permanently burned but the wounds healed up from fatal levels and activated the Saiyan Power. Which also burned a bit of the Spirit energy away permanently.
"Let's kick it up higher." Bulvi watched as his energy dipped then kick up as the wounds forcefully closed. "Tri From!" Splitting into two more, the power difference was still larger than his own.
