Chapter 6- Dende's gift and Vegeta's revelation

"How nice it is to see you two again." Gohan said.

"The feeling's mutual." Kibito Kai responded.

"It was much nicer at the look out." Old Kai said.

"Why were you there?" Pan asked. Marron snickered. "Huh? You know why?" Pan asked.

"I think I do, but it is a surprise." Marron said.

"The young witch is right." Old Kai began. "There is a surprise waiting for you up there. Why you deserve it after misusing the Dragon Balls is still a mystery to me."

"The weapon Master Bram stole is very destructive." Kibito Kai began. "I once mentioned that each of the Supreme Kais had the power to fell Freeza in a single blow. Knowing what he did, some of you might wonder why I didn't kill him myself. I didn't because I feared his weapon. It is a powerful turret gun that has the power to destroy anything, and I mean anything, in a single blow. I never dared to confront Freeza knowing that as long as he had that gun, he would've been able to kill me before I even got to him. If I had known someone stole it, I would've killed him without hesitation."

"The one who created that weapon was the one who sealed me within the Z-sword so many years ago." Old Kai began. "I believe this Freeza character was one of his descendents. Not even Omega Shenron could've survived a single blast from it."

Gohan was shocked. "That isn't good. Even Kuriza said he was powerful enough to do that. Even if all of us gang up on him, I doubt we can even get a single blow on him."

"I wouldn't say that." A voice came from the next room over. A young man with dark skin and a Mohawk walked into the room. It was Majuub.

"What are you doing here, Majuub?" Pan asked.

"I came here to help." He began.

"Hmm..."Bram studied Majuub closely. "I see. You are the reincarnation of the evil Buu, and you've fused with the good Buu. In your current state, you couldn't do much."

"What do you mean?" Majuub asked.

"Kuriza sounds like a powerful person. Your original form would have to be activated before you stood even a remote chance against him." Bram explained.

"My original form?" Majuub asked.

"You must split in two and become Buu again." Bram answered.

"Is that even possible?" Gohan asked. "I mean, he is the reincarnation of Super Buu. Not Buu himself."

"Oh, it is." Marron said as she stepped towards Majuub. "In fact, I know how to do it thanks to my training with fat Buu."

"Is that why you used to go to Mr. Satan's home a lot?" Eighteen asked.

"Yep. That's how I found out that everyone that either fat Buu or Super Buu ate received his power when they were revived. Heck. They received his powers when they were eaten, and my powers are proof of that." Marron began. "Videl and Bulma passed that power on to Pan and Bulla respectively. Pan is an exceptional case since she inherited some of Buu's power from Videl and some when she was eaten by fat Buu. And yes, getting absorbed counts as long as you were eaten beforehand."

"I hope the evil won't dominate me." Majuub said in a worried tone.

"You won't because only your form will change." Marron said as she placed her hand on Majuub's shoulder. "Fusion of Buu, split back in two and regain your true form." A glowing aura surrounded Majuub and within seconds, both Mr. Buu and Super Buu appeared in the room."

"Whoa." Uub said as he examined his new form. "I remember everything from when I had this form. Including what I did up on the lookout." Uub turned to face the others. "I am sorry for what I did during that time."

"Don't be." Buu said. "It wasn't our fault. It was Babidi."

"I think I should take all of you up to the lookout." Kibito Kai said as he took them to the lookout where Dende was waiting with a parcel in his arms. Mr. Popo was standing right next to him.

"Hey, everyone." Dende began. "I take it they're here for the gift I made?" he asked the Kais.

"Yes." Old Kai began. "They are."

"Good." Dende said as he placed the parcel on the ground. "Who'd like to open it?"

"I will." Pan eagerly rushed over to the parcel and opened it. Inside of it was what appeared to be Dragon Balls, except the color of the stars were white. "Are these Dragon Balls?" Pan asked.

"They are indeed." Kibito Kai said. "You can use this set as often as you want."

"What about the negative energy?" Gohan asked. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I do not want to deal with another Omega Shenron."

"That is the best part about these." Old Kai began. "This new set cannot collect any negative energy. I'll let Dende explain this one."

"I sure can. You know how the Kais mentioned last year that the reason the dragon balls scatter after a wish is granted so the negative energy had time to dissipate?" the namekian asked.

"Yes. What of it?" Pan asked.

"Well, I thought about the ones back on Namek and realized that they never scattered after a wish was made, or at least not far enough for it to matter. I contacted Muri and asked him if he knew anything about it. In response, he sent Guru's original blueprints to me." Dende explained.

"I wondered about that as well." Old Kai began. "Shortly after Dende received the original blueprints, I came here to check them out myself. We discovered that the Namekian Dragon Balls don't have any negative energy at all due to a wizard's intervention. He cast a spell on those dragon balls so negative energy can never collect. I never got a chance to meet that wizard to ask him how he did it."

"You're looking at him right now." The group turned around to look at Bram. "When Guru made the Namekian dragon balls, he asked me to come and help him with them. When he finished making them, I cast a purity spell over them. I taught that spell to Marron a few years after she first sought me out."

"And I'm the only who cast that spell on this set." Marron quickly remarked. "I would've done the same with the former guardian's set at one point if the shadow dragons didn't show up."

"Um...How many wishes can this set grant" Krillin asked the guardian of Earth.

"Three." Dende explained. "You should have figured that out when I mentioned they have the same design as the ones on Namek. Muri even included the notes he made on the upgrades he made to them."

"Wow! Have they been tested yet?" Pan asked excitingly.

"Not yet, Pan." Mr. Popo began. "In fact, all of you were brought here so they could be tested out. Would you like to summon the dragon?" Mr. Popo asked Pan as he arranged the dragon balls in the correct order for the summoning.

"You bet!" Pan shouted as she jumped in front of the new set. "Arise, eternal dragon!" As usual, the sky grew dark as the dragon appeared. Pan was shocked when she saw the dragon as she knew who it was. It was Nuova Shenron. "Nuova?" Pan asked. The dragon nodded in response. "Didn't Omega Shenron kill you?"

Nuova smiled at the remark. "He did, but Dende found my spirit and asked me if I would become the eternal dragon of his new set of dragon balls. I agreed and he was able to revive me for this purpose. Now tell me your wish. I will grant three."

Krillin quickly stepped forward and blurted out "Hey, Nuova Shenron, can you restore my youth, at least back to the time when Bobbidi came to Earth to free Buu?"

"How ironic. I was created when a wish was made of Shenlong to restore King Piccolo's youth and the first wish asked of me is used to restore someone's use." Nuova's eyes grew as Krillin's appearance changed back to the way he looked during the invasion of Majin Buu." Your wish has been granted. I think that was a smart wish considering you are more powerful in this state. With you going up against someone like Kuriza, who even the other shadow dragons feared, you're going to need it."

Eighteen was amazed that the new dragon was able to grant that wish. "Does anyone else have any wishes?" she asked. Everyone shook their heads. "I guess we can-wait." She quickly looked up at Nuova, which was a sign that she just thought of something. "Ever since I was reawakened, I always wanted to know where I came from. I remember everything from before I came to Earth, but I can't remember anything before my brother and I were forced under Freeza's control. I don't even remember my own parents. Can you answer that question I've had for years?"

Nuova Shenron paused for a moment before responding. "I do know the answer to your question."

"Great. What is the answer?" Eighteen asked. "Does it explain my daughter's powers?"

"Don't you recall anything from the last few hours? Your daughter inherited most of her magic powers from your husband's father. Bram is one of the greatest wizards in the universe, after all." Nuova began. "While I do know about your origins, I cannot tell you right now as you will find out soon enough."

Eighteen sighed. "Oh well. I guess that will have to do. We don't need you at the moment, great dragon."

"Hey! Can't someone else ask for a wish? Dende called for all of us, even though we were aleady on our way up here." Everyone was turned around and saw Videl hovering above them while carrying Chi Chi, with Vegeta, Trunks, and Goten flying in and landing. As Videl put Chi Chi down, she turned to Nuova. "Do you think you can remove the seal on my full power?"

"I cannot grant that wish as that seal has already been removed by the one who cast it." Nuova explained.

"What do you mean? Videl asked as she looked at everyone on the lookout. She nearly fell over when she saw Bram. "Master Bram? What are you doing up here?" She asked.

"Bram, as in Bram the wizard?" Chi Chi asked. Bram nodded in response. "My father told me all about you. What in the world are you doing with all of these people? Magic and martial arts don't seem to mix."

"My son, Krillin is one of these martial artists." Bram began. Who is your father, mam?"

"The Ox King." Chi Chi explained.

"I remember him very well. He was a very close friend until his castle caught on fire." Bram turned to Videl. So you're Videl, eh? You certainly have grown and I'm sure you have a family by now."

"I do." Videl began. "I'm married to Gohan and we have Pan. And is what Nuova said true? Was the seal on my powers really removed? You should know since you are the one who cast it, great wizard."

"I thought Pan was yours. She looks like you in your younger days. And yes, Videl. The seal on your super saiyan powers were removed when Buu attacked you up here. I removed it so you could easily stop Buu, but I wasn't able to reach you in time."

"Super saiyan?" Gohan asked as he turned to face his wife.

"I guess. I first accessed that form when I was four, which I believe was two years before your father's first transformation, at least according to your time table. I didn't know what it was called until I saw your father use it against fat Buu when he was evil. SS3, I think?" Videl asked. "That was the one with long, blonde hair, right?"

"You? The first super saiyan?" Vegeta shouted. "I find that hard to-" Vegeta couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Videl go SS3. "A...a...amazing. Simply amazing. It seems that you are the true legendary super saiyan. Not Kakarot, myself, or even Broly. SS3 at age four? I'm more surprised to discover that there is another living saiyan!"

"Come now, Vegeta." Bram began. "Surly you couldn't have ignored Videl's resemblance to a few saiyans."

"True. When she was a teenager, she looked like most female saiyans, one saiyan in particular. Her name was Fasha." Vegeta explained.

"Fasha?" Videl asked. "No way! Before she died, my mother told me stories about her own mother, and she told me her name was Fasha. If this helps, my mother's name was Vasha."

"The names fit." Vegeta began. "About two or three years before Planet Vegeta, my home planet, was destroyed, I remember hearing something about Fasha having a daughter named Vasha. She hung around with Fasha's crew until they were sent to Kanasta. I know Fasha perished when Freeza destroyed the planet, and I thought her daughter did as well, but I guess she somehow made it here. How a saiyan ended up with someone like Satan, I'll never know."

"I guess this is amazing." Pan began. "Both of my parents are half saiyans!"

"Want to know what's even more interesting?" Vegeta asked.

"No. What is it?" Gohan asked."

"The leader of the crew Fasha was a member of was named Bardock. I believe most of you have met both of his sons, one for certain. One was named Raditz, and the other was named-"

"Kakarot?" Gohan interrupted, remembering the name of his father's evil brother.

"Yes, Gohan. Bardock's second son was named Kakarot, better known on this planet as Goku, or to you and Goten, your father." Vegeta responded. "That makes you Bardock's grandson." He then turned to Pan. "I guess you will have a good chance against Kuriza. He's really changed since his younger days."

Pan turned to face her mother. "Mom, why are you here, anyway?"

"Oh." Videl said with a look of embarrassment on her face. "I was so caught up with Vegeta's history lesson and the new dragon balls that I forgot why I came up here. The ship is ready. I'm thinking we could try to get the jump on Kuriza."
