Here is Chapter 12. It's a little on the short side as I'm trying to get through the Hirudegarn arc. After this will be the weddings which I will try to wrap up into one chapter. Then comes the Beerus arc. After that, I don't know what will come next. I may stop it after that and work on a sequel to this one that I have been messing around with in my spare time, or I may merge it with this story. It takes place ten years later and involves the events from Xenoverse. But as I said, I haven't made a final decision on that yet.


"Wow Sakura. I honestly don't know what to tell ya there." Said Gohan.

It was three days after the incident with the lower half of Hirudegarn and the Z Fighters were trying to come up with a plan of attack at Capsule Corp to take this monster down. Sakura had explained everything Shin talked to her about that day and they were trying to make sense of it all. While they were overjoyed that Sakura would be able to control her Arcane form, It was still going to take more time than was allowed for the current situation.

"I know. It's like he knows exactly what's going to happen, but he wont tell me what. All he said is that Videl and I need to be prepared for a event in 10 years time." Sakura said. This whole situation was confusing to everyone.

"Best not to dwell on it much. We need to focus on the here and now." Piccolo said in his usual gruff demeanor.

Everyone nodded. Goku was the next to speak up. "I think the best way to take this thing down is for Tapion to release the upper half of the monster and take the whole beast away from civilization. Once done, Goten and Trunks as well as Vegeta and myself will do the fusion technique and bring him down."

Sakura cocked and eyebrow. "Fusion technique?"

"What's that?" Naruto said.

"It's a technique that two people use to join bodies to create one super powerful fighter. Goten and Trunks fused when we all fought Broly." Goku explained.

Sakura shrugged. "Must not have noticed. Was kinda busy healing people and trying to save Naruto at the time." Sakura said earning a nod from Goku.

"I think having you and Videl fuse would give us the edge we need. While Goten and Trunks' fusion is powerful, they just don't have the battle experience the rest of us have." Goku stated.

"That may be. Sakura has plenty of battle experience from what she has told, but Videl still doesn't have enough experience." Piccolo stated.

"Hey, I can still match up to Vegeta well!" Videl exclaimed, clearly irritated.

"You may be powerful. But what good is power if you don't have the skill to use it." Vegeta said, earning a glare from Videl. "Hey don't give me that look! You may be a full blooded Saiyan with an enormous amount of power that rivals my own, but you drag your heritage through the mud with your sloppy fighting skills. You were beaten far too easily during the fight with Broly."

"Ok Vegeta. That's enough." Goku said in an attempt to clear the air. "We really don't have a choice at the moment. Videl's skills are enough for now. And to be fair, Broly was considerably more powerful than he was 8 years ago. Plus, you were one of the first taken down as well, Vegeta." Goku said, earning a grumble from Vegeta and a snicker from Videl and Sakura.

Goku looked to the two Saiyan women. "I'll give you two the training needed to do the fusion and will have the kids perform it for you so you know what the outcome will be." Sakura and Videl nodded.

"I still think you're wasting your time, Kakarot." Vegeta said.

"Can it, Veggie boy." Videl said earning a glare from Vegeta.

"Fine. Do whatever the hell you want. And you can forget me fusing with you, Kakarot." Vegeta exclaimed and then stormed off to train in alone.


"...You can't be serious..." Sakura said with a disgusted look on her face. She had just witnessed the fusion dance that was demonstrated by Goku. It had to have been the most awkward looking set of poses she had ever seen.

Videl laughed at Sakura's misfortune. "The dance looks absolutely ridiculous but the end result is anything but. I was there when Goku taught Goten and Trunks to fuse."

"Yea, I'll take your word for it." Sakura sweatdropped. 'Well, I suppose it couldn't be any worse than watching Sai go through his attempts in understanding basic human emotions. I swear he's like a really dumb Commander Data.'

"That was just the basics of it. You two have to get your energies in perfect sync before performing the fusion dance. Sakura, your dance has to mirror Videl's and vice versa. Just one slip up could mean that the fusion would fail and you would have to wait almost 2 hours to try again" Goku explained.

'Doesn't seem that hard. Honestly I don't see what the problem is. I've seen it enough times that I could probably fuse with someone right now. I just hope Sakura is ready for this.' Videl thought. She was obviously having her doubts that Sakura would be able to get this down. Why, she didn't know.

"Hmm.." Sakura mulled. She then raised her power as high as it could go in her base form. Videl, sensing what Sakura had in mind, followed the pinkettes example and raised her power to her maximum in her base form.

Goku nodded and grinned. "Your power levels are perfectly even." Goku said. Then his face took a much more serious look. "Now, you both have to clear your minds. breath the same rate, think the same as one. You must focus on becoming one complete person, otherwise the fusion wont work." Goku explained and the girls nodded.

"Sakura. This is your first time even hearing about the Fusion. Videl has seen it performed several times and knows the outcome as a witness. I would have liked the two of you to practice first, but we really don't have a lot of time. When you feel you are ready, start performing the fusion." Goku said.

Sakura was in a near meditative state as was Videl. There thoughts were one, their breathing deep and in sync. Then Videl dropped into stance, Sakura following suit. In a fluid like motion, both fighters were moving in perfect sync towards each other in a flawless rhythm. "FUUU-SION! HAA!" The both said in unison. Their index fingers connected and they both started glowing. Sakura glowed pink while Videl glowed a deep shade of red. The two auras merged into one and a blinding flash of light engulfed the area.

In what seemed like minutes the light died down to reveal a single person. What she wore was completely different from the typical Fusion attire. She wore a pink tank top that stopped at her midriff and showed a decent amount of cleavage. on the right upper side of the shirt was a white ring. She also wore a red vest that was unzipped. A red half skirt went down to just above her right knee and the left side stopped just past her waist. Black spandex shorts were revealed to just above her left knee. The vest, skirt and shorts were outlined with a silver trim. Her hair was the same short hair style that both girls had, but was mostly black with a pink outline that faded in from the black. Her eyes were a near teal color. She had plated silver gauntlets and plated silver metal boots to match the gauntlets. A white sash was wrapped around her waist.

Gohan and Naruto, who were watching the event unfold, were starstruck. The woman that stood before them was the combination of their fiance's and the fusion had been a complete success.

The fused woman looked up to see the crowd of people staring at her. with a smirk, she took a step forward. "I am Vidura." She said. Her voice sounded deep and clam, yet soothing. A typical Fusion would sound like the two original beings talking at the same time, but not this one. "Judging by your stares, I can guess that the fusion was a success."

Goku nodded. "I am so surprised you two got it on the first try. Your power is completely off the charts and this fusion form is actually a lot different than I had originally expected." Goku said

Vidura grinned. "I was a little nervous that Sakura wouldn't get it, but I can see there was no worry. I'm going to test out this new body, would anyone care to spar?"

It was at that moment Vegeta came bursting outside to find the source of that new power. He stopped in his tracks to see Vidura standing in front of him. He was absolutely gobsmacked at the power she was radiating off and she wasn't even in Super Saiyan form.

"Amazing.." Vegeta said under his breath.

Vidura noticed Vegeta and smirked. "Hey Vegeta. I need a punching bag to test out my abilities before I defuse. Since you pissed me off earlier, I think you will do nicely."

"W-what are you-" Vegeta started to protest, but was cut off when Vidura slammed the Saiyan Prince to the ground at such blazing speed that no one saw her move. It was like in the blink of an eye she moved from where she was standing and then suddenly had Vegeta pinned to the ground.

"How quickly bravado goes flying out the window when you get your ass handed to you in less than three seconds, eh Veggie boy?" Vidura taunted.

Vegeta instantly flashed into Super Saiyan 2 in attempt to subdue his opponent, however Vidura still had Vegeta pinned to the ground. "Get off of me you bitch!" Vegeta yelled, only earning a grin and a chuckle from the fused female Saiyan.

"What are you going to do if I don't? In case you haven't sensed it yourself, you are at your max and I far surpass you and I'm not even in a Super Saiyan." Vidura said.

Then it a mighty roar, Vegeta ascended to Super Saiyan 3. He had been training to unlock that power and finally achieved it. Using all of his might, he threw Vidura off of him and took off after the fused woman.

Vidura quickly recovered and started dodging every attack Vegeta could send. She moved with such grave and agility that it stunned her onlookers. Here was this fused fighter made of two female Super Saiyans, still in base form, taking on a Super Saiyan 3 like it was just a game to her!

Vidura had grown tired of the countless dodging and finally countered. She delivered a single blow to Vegeta's gut, causing the veteran Saiyan warrior to stumble back, doubled over in pain as his transformation dropped.

"That was for running your mouth earlier. But I should thank you. I know where my power stacks up now and I have to say, I'm quite pleased with the result." Vidura said with a grin.

"Amazing.." Naruto said. "She took down Vegeta and barely broke a sweat! Imagine what she could do as a Super Saiyan!"

Goku and Gohan nodded. "Agreed." Goku said. Then he turned and looked at Vidura. "Once your fusion drops, we'll try again later. This time I want you two as Super Saiyans."

Vidura chuckled. "If you wanted me as a Super Saiyan, all you had to do was ask."

She bent down in to a stance that showed she was getting ready to power up. A bright purple aura surrounded her and slowly started changing into gold, followed by her hair. Her hair spiked upwards and her eyes tuned teal as she erupted with shear power. Her hair then shifted from gold to white and her eyes shifted from teal to crimson red. After the light died down, Vidura was standing with a glowing silver aura surrounding her. She was expecting to be getting stares from everyone, but not for the reason she thought.

Gohan was the first to speak. "T-that transformation..." Gohan stammered, remembering the day Sakura transformed into a Arcane Super Saiyan 3. Only this time, Vidura transformed into the first level, radiating just as much power as that day.

Goku nodded. "It's just like when Sakura ascended and took out Broly."

Vidura drew in a conclusion of what they were talking about. "Wait, I transformed into the Arcane form?" She asked receiving a nod from everyone. "But how? Sakura couldn't access that form since Broly from what I can gather from her memories and Videl never tried."

Piccolo stepped forth. "I think we found our ace in the hole. Can you ascend to the second level?"

Vidura thought about it and started raising her power in an attempt to transform into the second level. After some time had passed, she was in the second form of the Arcane form. Now Vidura's power was beyond anything anyone could comprehend.

"Unreal..." Naruto muttered. "That power.. It feels like the world is trembling in fear of it.."

Everyone stood with their mouths gaping and nodding at what Naruto said. If there was anyone who could defend the world from any threat now, It would be Sakura and Videl and their fusion.

As the days passed, the Z Fighters were anxiously waiting for the lower half of Hirudegarn to show up. It had been nearly a week since the devastation the lower half brought out and no one as seen it since. During this time, Sakura was on the World of the Kai's, training to gain full access to her Arcane powers. Thanks to the elder Supreme Kai, it was becoming a smooth transition and was moving at a rather nice pace. Naruto was there as well to support Sakura. Videl and Gohan were present as well after Videl learned from the Elder Kai that she too was capable of unlocking the Arcane transformation.

Because of the elder Kai's powers, Sakura had full control over the first level of Arcane Super Saiyan and was working on mastering the second. Videl was still trying to bring out her Arcane abilities, but because they had laid dormant longer than Sakura's and that she had no idea how to bring it out, she was having a very difficult time.

Sakura and Elder Kai had an idea, however.

"Videl" Sakura spoke as she put a hand on Videl's shoulder. "Elder Kai and I have a pretty good idea why you can't access the Arcane ability."
Videl, broken form her concentration, looked up to see a sad face on both Sakura and Elder Kai. "Oh?" Videl started, but seeing as their looks of sadness began to deepen, Sakura started feeling a knot in her stomach. "Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like this.."

"You're feelings are not without warrant, little miss." Elder Kai said. "Sakura and I have come to the conclusion that the only way to bring out the powers of the Arcane Super Saiyan is to lose, or at least believe you've lost, a being very close to your heart."

Sakura nodded and let out a sigh. "When I thought I lost Naruto when fighting Broly, I snapped. You were there when it happened. My Arcane powers had awoken and had taken down Broly with little or no effort. You on the other hand, haven't experienced that."

Videl looked at the ground from where she was sitting. "Not truly, no. Not in the fashion you had. I had once thought that Gohan had died when Goku told me that Majin Buu killed him. But, because of our Saiyan bond, somewhere deep inside, I knew he was alive. Had I actually have seen his body, I probably would have transformed that very moment and gone after Buu myself."

Videl looked back up to see the forlorn looks on the faces of Sakura and Old Kai. "But that probably would have gotten me killed. Even in the first stage of Arcane I would have been no match for Buu."

Old Kai nodded. "True. You would have died trying to avenge Gohan's death. However, Shin and i have come up with an idea."

Videl started to panic. "You're not going to kill Gohan-"

"NO YOU IDIOT!" Elder Kai shouted. "WHY WOULD I KILL MY OWN STUDENT?!"

Videl was taken aback by the sudden outburst from Old Kai.

"No. What we are going to do is a little image training. Not the kind of image training you have been going through." Elder KAi explained.

"I'm going to help Old Kai with this one." Sakura said. "I have the ability to use a Genjutsu that will make everything that is about to happen to you seem real. Old Kai will use his powers to intensify the scenario and Shin will use his memories to create it."

Without warning, Sakura flashed through several hand signs. The land around Videl changed into a large, open wasteland where Gohan, Shin, Dabura and Babidi were standing and the egg of Buu was there.

"KAMEHAME...HAAAA!" Gohan shouted as he attempted to destroy the egg. The egg was launched into the air and Gohan fired another blast at it hoping to destroy it. The ball landed a little ways away from the four of them and rolled a short ways before splitting open releasing the pink gas that was Buu.

In mere moments, Buu formed and started his attack. He punched Dabura away first and then started going after Supreme Kai, only to be blocked by Gohan.

"If you want him, you'll have to go through me!" Gohan shouted.

"No DON"T DO IT GOHAN!" Videl screamed, only for her plea to fall on deaf ears.

Gohan attacked Buu with a fury of fast kicks and punches, all for them to be absorbed by Buu.

"Buu make you dead!" Buu screamed. He sent a furious uppercut to Gohan and sent him flying into the sky. Buu appeared right above him and slammed him back down to the ground where Buu immediately landed on Gohan. Gohan let out a scream of pain before he blacked out momentarily, dropping his ascended Super Saiyan form.

Buu picked Gohan up by his neck and punched him in the face and sent him into a nearby rock face. Gohan was embedded into the rock wall and didn't have the energy to move.

"NO! STOP THIS! PLEASE!" Videl screamed as she watched her fiance slowly slip away from her.

Buu moved in closer to Gohan. "Now Buu make you dead!" Buu then with his finger, elongated it and stabbed it through Gohan's heart and ripped him away from the rock face and onto the ground. Gohan choked up blood as he landed.

"NOOO!" Videl shouted as she flew over to Gohan. At this point, Old Kai change things a little by enabling Videl to interact with Gohan.
Videl rushed to Gohan's side and futilely tried healing him with her limited medical ninjutsu she had learned from Sakura. "Please don't die on me Gohan! PLEASE!"

"V-Videl... H-how-" Gohan chocked out.

"Shut up you idiot... Just let me heal you" Videl said now with tears streaming down her face.

"S-stop it.. I'm n-not going to m-make it t-this time..." Gohan wheezed out.

"Like HELL you are dying on me! The world needs you! I NEED YOU! Don't you fucking DARE die on me!"

"H-he heh... I'm s-sorry... V-Videl... But my h-heart is d-d-destroyed... I...want... you t-to know that...I l-love you.. I always... have..." Gohan said with his last breath as his eyes rolled up into the back of his head and his body went limp.

"No... No no no NO!" Videl said as she shook Gohan. "NO! NOT LIKE THIS! PLEASE NO! GOOOHAAANN! NOOOOO!" Videl yelled.

Videl shot up into the air as she roared in the pain of losing the one she loved. She went straight into Super Saiyan two. Slowly her golden aura shifted to a bright sliver, her hair turned into a silvery white and her eyes, although closed and pouring with tears from her pain and rage, shifted from teal to blood red.

At this point, Sakura dropped the Genjutsu and stood in awe as she witnessed the transformation Videl went through.

With one final scream, Videl's power exploded creating a massive shock wave that floored everyone around her.

"How does she have this much power!" Sakura yelled out.

"She has tapped into ALL of her dormant powers! This is the combination of everything shes had hidden away!" Old Kai yelled.

"If this keeps up, the whole world is going to shake apart!" Gohan yelled.

"The transformation is almost complete! Give her more time!" Old Kai responded.

Sure enough, a few more moments passed and the explosion of raw power subsided. There stood Videl. Her hair was a bright shade of silver, nearly white, and trailed down to the back of her knees. Her eyes were blood red and her aura was also the same color of her eyes. red static arced around her from time to time.

Videl has ascended.

"Gohan..." Videl said in a sad voice. She shot her head up, expecting to find Buu, but only to see that her suroundings changed back to the Supreme Kai World with everyone present looking at her in awe.

"I-incredible..." Gasped Gohan in pure shock. "Shes even stronger than Sakura was. Much stronger.."

"Yes. It seems I underestimated the amount of dormant power she had lying in her. She has a much larger reserve than you did, Gohan." Old Kai said.

Videl took a moment to feel around her body and a look of amazement came to her as she marveled at her new power. "This... This power is unreal.. I never thought I would have this much power..." Videl said at barely a whisper. "But... At the cost o fthe man I love..." Videl now had a downcast look about her as she cried out for Gohan, only to feel a hand on her shoulder.

Videl quickly spun around and found herself in the warm embrace of her fiance where she broke down, sobbing in his chest. The past event felt so real to her that she was absolutely stunned to see her future husband alive and well.

"It's alright, Videl. It was all an illusion.." Gohan said softly.

Videl, still radiating a massive amount of power in her Arcane form, continued to sob, clinging onto the man she loved for dear life. "It...it felt so real... seeing you die in my arms..."

Sakura walked up tot he couple. "That is what a genjutsu does. It creates an illusion that seems completely real to the victim. I'm sorry we had to put you through that horror, Videl, but it was the only way we could think of to unlock your abilities."

Videl nodded and had calmed down a bit. "It's ok. I forgive you, Sakura." Videl said as she pulled away from Gohan. "Besides, the end result was more than worth it." Videl said with a genuine smile.

"Yea, I'll say." Naruto said.

It was just then that they all heard the voice of King Kai echoing through their heads. "Hey everyone! I got news for you all!" Kind Kai shouted.

"Yes King Kai. We hear you." Elder Kai said.

"The lower half of Hirudegarn as reappeared and the upper half has now been rejoined with the lower. Goku used his instant transmission to move them and the monster away from the cities and are fighting in a wasteland near the Hidden Sand village. You four need to head back now." King Kai explained gravely.

The Elder Kai looked on at the four heroes. "Well my friends, I wish I could have done more for you. But now you must stop that monster and end his miserable life once and for all."

The four warriors nodded and Shin used his instant transmission to take them back to earth in a flash of light. The Old Kai stared at the spot where they once were and then looked up to the heavens.

"You need to take out this foe and quickly. For I fear another threat is stirring from his long slumber. But why after only 36 years? Surely he should be sleeping longer.." The Old Kai mussed to himself. "Earth's greatest warriors will be put to the test in two years time I suspect. Perhaps I should tell them the seceret of becoming a Super Saiyan God. I'm sure that is why Beerus is waking up.."


On a distant world outside the realm of the mortals, a powerful god was slowly waking up from his long slumber. The God of Destruction, Lord Beerus, was stirring. An Egyptian cat like man was waking up and his thirst for destruction and glorious tasting food will soon be evident to the warriors of Earth as well as his short temper. They will need every available resource in dealing with the God of Destruction in the years that will follow.


That's it for this one. Normally I would take time to go over some of the reviews, but lately I just don't really feel like doing that anymore. especially about the two same sad pathetic little scrubs that like to bash my fanfic for no reason other than being butthurt little children. Insulting someones fanfic and bringing up shit about canon power levels and canon this and canon that is just a waste of your time and mine and is in no way shape or form considered as CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. It's just being down right rude and pathetic. I had said in the very beginning that this wasn't going to be canon in any way shape or form so suck it up and deal with it and quit wasting my time with your self indulged bantering and 2nd grade insults.

Next Chapter wraps up the Hirudegarn arc. This one may take some time to complete. Expect it sometime next week if things get less crazy.
