Mirai shifted his focus to the briefcase he had with him and opened it after sitting in a seat that was offered to him. He then took two vials, red and purple, and held it up for everyone to see. Once he was sure he had everyone's attention he said, "This is the antidote. It's red." He looked over at Bulma and said directly to her, "The only way to find the cure is with a dead body. You cannot use someone who is currently alive." Gasps echoed in the room, but he continued on, "After I help Pan, I will use it to show the doctors of this timeline the true antidote and maybe we can slow the procession of the dead." He took out a small capsule and clicked it. Inside was a small first aid kit. As he was putting on gloves and readying a needle, he looked at the group and said, "However, you all do need to be vaccinated." He gestured with the purple vial. He grinned wickedly and continued, "and since I am the only certified doctor, I get to be the one who gets to "stab" you." He looked at Gohan. "First, let me take care of your daughter. Gohan tipped his head in agreement then smiled at his old friend. He knew his daughter was in good hands. He didn't trust doctors, but this time, he would give Mirai a free pass.
After adorning gloves, Mirai tipped the open needle into the red vial. After suctioning the liquid out into the needle's vial, he returned the empty vial back into his briefcase. As he headed off he was stopped by a voice. "Wait." Videl called out to him. "I will come with you. Just in case you need anything."Mirai stopped, almost wanting persuade her out of accompanying him and waited for her to lead the way. Once into Bulma's lab, he injected the dark liquid into Pan's arm. She made a small noise, but lied still. After he was finished, he doctored the spot then patted her softly on the shoulder. "Now, we wait. It will take 12 hours to really kick into her system and begin the healing process. After those 12 hours are up, then I can vaccinate her too." he said, reassuring the woman. "Mirai, how many did you bring?" she asked, worried he would run out of supplies. "Well, Vegeta gave me an estimate of how many of our friends and family would need the vaccination. Though I trust him, I added 10 more vials for back up. I brought a few vials of the antidote for your doctors to examine." Mirai took out the small box he has always had that carried his capsules. He took out a small capsule and showed it to her. "See this? It is full of more vaccinations and antidotes. A good doctor always comes prepared." He put the capsule away and continued with, "With Dende around healing people, it will take no time for the virus to leave. For a while, maybe not for good. Which is why I still have much of the antidote left in stock. Does that answer your question sufficiently enough? As I said earlier, we need to get to the head of the snake. That is the true way to succeed in banishing this virus for good. " He smiled a small smile at her. Feeling much better about the whole situation, she threw her arms around him. Shocked but pleased at the same time, he hugged her back.
Videl let go of him. She looked sorrowful. "What's wrong?" Mirai asked, confused by her sudden behavior. "Can I confide in you? I mean, can you keep this between the two of us?" she asked. Mirai raised his eyebrows and said, "I promise to keep this just between the two of us. You have my word." Videl, feeling a little more encouraged spoke up. "I am sure I have the virus. I have not been feeling well at all since a few hours ago." Mirai took a closer look at her. She was right. She definitely had the virus. 'How come I missed that earlier?' he thought. She was pale and there were dark circles forming under her eyes. "Tell me. Are you lightheaded? Nauseous? Are you running a temperature? Are you sore?" He looked at her, waiting for an answer. When she nodded, he shook his head and said, "That's what I thought. I will need to give you the antidote. When nobody notices you are getting not vaccinated later, we will make up some bullshit story later. Then, I will give you the antidote. Kapeesh?" He grinned at her, clearly amused with himself. Videl laughed, "Sure! Whatever, but please make it believable." Mirai gave her serious look and said, "To be honest, everyone who has been around someone more than likely is carrying the virus with the. Yours had progressed. I'll keep an eye on the others to see if any of them have it as well." Videl, after it dawned on her that he was possibly right, responded with, "Sounds like a plan to me. I will help out however I can." Mirai thanked her. After a few moments, Mirai had a sudden thought and said, "Hey Videl? About that story... how about I put on a hazmat suit and direct you out of the lobby while claiming you have 'deadly armpit odor'. From there I will proceed to tell everyone that the only way to give you the vaccine is for you to take of your jacket and expose the 'deadly armpit odor'. I will also tell them that the only way keep them alive is to 'vaccinate' you in another room. Remember, their safety comes first. They don't have to know that I am not vaccinating you and giving you the antidote. See? This story is fool-proof." He looked at her with a total poker face. Videl was shocked, mouth agape. When she collected herself, she smacked him and whispered heatedly, "You ass! Just tell them I have the damn virus!" He held onto his arm and pouted. "What is it with everyone hitting me today?" he whined. She rolled her eyes and laughed, "Drama Queen." They exited the room.
