One Freaky Day
Part Four
By Maria Cline
Gohan just stared at Videl like he had lost his mind. "Super Saiyan?" Gohan repeated, "You want to learn to go Super Saiyan? Why?"
"Because..." Videl took a deep breath. "Because, ever since I found out that the gold fighters are real, I wanted to know what it was like being a gold fighter. To glow with one's own power like that... I know that you are used to being a gold fighter but I just want to know for myself. So, I want you to tell me how to become a super saiyan." Videl crossed his arms and leaned back on the couch.
"Uhhh... well..." Gohan scratched his head. "It's kinda hard to say... the super saiyan form is not just a physical ability but a state of mind as well. I wish I could show you how it works." Gohan muttered as he turned slightly red.
"What do you mean? Aren't you one of the gold fighters? I saw you transform at the Tournament!" Videl screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Well..." Gohan rubbed his head in a nervous gesture. "I... umm... can't transform any more. You see... I lost that ability when I gained the mystical power up to battle Buu." Gohan decided not to let Videl know that if he did go super saiyan, he could possibly destroy the entire solar system with his new power. That was something that Videl does not need to know.
"Okay... what about your father? It's his body after all..."
"Maybe..." Gohan got up and knocked on the door. Goku and Hercule came in. "Dad... Videl wants to go super saiyan."
"Really?" Goku exclaimed, "Cool! I'm glad you want to go Super Saiyan! It should be a snap for you since I've been a super saiyan for years!"
"Good." Videl clenched his fists and tensed his muscles. Goku and Gohan stepped back as they sensed Videl's power soaring as a red arua surrounded him. "AAAAHHHHH!!!" He began as his muscles bulged.
Hercule gulped as he went behind Gohan. There was a strange aura of power that even he could feel as the carpet below him rippled away from the Saiyan.

Krillian rubbed his eyes as he sat on one of the nice soft pillows. "We've looked through every damn book and nothing!" Krillian sighed as he lay down.
The other warriors were discouraged. They were all fast readers due to their super speed powers. They had been scanning books for three hours straight and found nothing useful.
"This is redundant." Eighteen muttered as she tossed aside a book to a large pile. Suddenly, everyone stopped and stared out.
"Whoa... I think that's Videl... powering up..." Krillian observed, "At least, I think that's Videl..."
"It's Videl in Goku's body." Eighteen confirmed, "She's trying to go Super Saiyan."
Piccolo, Krillian, and everyone else looked at her. Finally, Krillian asked, "How can you tell?"
Eighteen gazed at her husband and replied, "I was created to kill Goku, remember? Dr. Gero programed me to be able to know when someone is going Super Saiyan or not."
Silence filled the air as the group stared at the android. Finally, Krillian exclaimed, "Hey! I didn't know you can do that! You are just filled with surpises!"
Piccolo scowled at the android. "I thought Dr. Gero didn't know about Super Saiyans until he attacked."
Eighteen lightly smirked at the Namekian. "Maybe." Eighteen commented. Before anyone could comment about Eighteen's new ability to know when Saiyans go Super Saiyan without looking, Mr. Popo held up a book.
"I found it!" Mr. Popo exclaimed as he read. "According to this... the soul stealer crystal sword will transform into the reversal sword of darkness if you do this proceedure at the next page..." He turned the page as every person watched him anxiously. Mr. Popo gasped as he stared the book.
"What is it?" Dende asked concerned.
"The page... it's worn out." Mr. Popo held up the ancient book to see the writing faded to the point that no one can see what was written.
"Oh shit." Piccolo growled, "And the guardian who had any idea what it said was dead. Unless... Mr. Popo, can you contact the one who had the book?"
Mr. Popo's usually blank face became deep in thought. "Perhaps..." He said calmly, "I can contact the guardian, 'Mari'. But, she is very hard to contact. Every former guardian has his or her unique way to communicate. Some communicate by telepathy, some by letters, there was one that communicate by radio..."
"Then, how does this guardian communicate?"
"Mari Clin... I don't know yet."
At once, everyone facefaulted again.
*****
"Hey! I think I found something!" Goten squealed as he typed on his keyboard. "Check this out. It's a chat room of the gods."
~chat room~
Kioshin: Hey! There are mortals in our chat room.
ChibiGoten: Hi, Kioshin! I'm Goten! Remember me?
Kioshin: Goten?! *jaw dropped* how did you get on?
ChibiGoten: I don't know... I just do.
Kioshin: *facefault*
FunnymanKai: Say... that reminds me of a joke... what is the theme song for going Super Saiyan?
ChibiGoten: I don't know.
FunnymanKai: We Gotta Power!
ChibiGoten: I don't get it. :( Can you help me? My brother's girlfriend swapped bodies with my dad and I want him back!
Kioshin: Hmmm...
FunnymanKai: Hmmm... I don't know...
ChibiGoten: *facefault*
ChibiTrunks: What kind of gods are you?!
Ladythenomad: The type that don't know about the crystal sword.
ChibiGoten: Who are you?
ChibiTrunks: Who are you?
Ladythenomad: I am Mari Clin. I know about the crystal sword you seek and how to reverse the effects.
ChibiGoten: Yay! :)
ChibiTrunks: Good! What is it?
Ladythenomad: You must gather the remains of the crystal sword and place it in the light of a full moon and have it reflect the two. Only then can you get them back to normal.
ChibiGoten: All right! We just have to wait till the next full moon!
ChibiTrunks: :( *hits Goten on the head* We don't have a moon anymore!
ChibiGoten: Awww... :(( Can't we just ask Dende to make a new moon?
FunnymanKai: Hmmm... that's possible but you would still have to wait for a month. Because when the moon is first made, it will always be a 'new moon'. BWAHAHAHA!!! Get it! New moon?
Ladythenomad: *rolls eyes* Okay. I get it... don't worry, I'm sure you two will think of something.
*****
Goten and Trunks sighed as they turned off the computer. "What will we do?" Goten asked as tears threatened to come down his face.
"We gotta tell the others!" Trunks insisted, "Maybe, they can think of something."
Suddenly, the room shook and the two kids fell over. "Whoa... what's that?" Goten asked.
"Must be Videl again." Trunks muttered as they went down the stairs and saw the living room ruined with Videl on his knees panting and sweating heavilly.
"How do you do it?!" Videl exclaimed as Goku and Hercule came out from behind the couch stunned. Gohan was just standing there watching.
"Hmmm... this is hard." Goku observed as she came forward. "Going Super Saiyan isn't as easy as it looks. It's hard to explain. Maybe, Goten or Trunks can show you how. Goten? Trunks?"
Goten and Trunks shook their heads. "I don't know how we went super. We just did." Goten explained.
"They're too young, to them going super saiyan is second nature to them." Goku sat down on the now slightly burned couch. "Hmmm... I obviously can't show Videl and neither could Gohan... the only one left is..."
Gohan paled and finished, "Vegita."
*****
At the Capsule Corps...
"Absolutely not!" Vegita boomed as he walked out of the gravity room.
"Oh come on, Vegita!" Gohan pleaded as he followed Vegita, "You're the best one to teach Videl how to go super saiyan!"
Vegita turned on his heel. "No!" He snarled.
Gohan shook with rage as he asked, "Why not?"
"Because, going super saiyan should be experienced by those who are born saiyans. Not by some stupid human who by pure chance be in a saiyan body."
"Hey! I didn't exactly asked to be like this!" Videl screamed as he marched up to Vegita and glared down at him. "I just want to know what it's like to be one of you guys!"
"Still... no. I will not aid you in going super saiyan." Vegita spat out as he crossed his arms.
"Vegita, I swear, sometimes you're impossible!" Gohan exclaimed as he flung up his arms.
"Vegita..." Bulma warned as she came in, "help Videl go super saiyan."
"I refuse to. That... woman has no right to become a super saiyan." Vegita argued as he prepared himself for the usual 'do it or no gravity room' speech.
Bulma opened her mouth and smirked. "Okay."
"Huh?" Gohan, Videl, and Vegita muttered at once.
*****
Meanwhile... at what's left of the Satan Mansion...
Goku sighed as she sat in front of the porch staring up at the blue sky. She deeply wished that she could go with Gohan and Videl to Capsule Corps but her new body was too slow and Chi Chi took the Nimbus.
"Goku!" Chi Chi exclaimed as she jumped off of the nimbus with a pile of clothes in her arms. "Did you two already..." She looked through the hole and exclaimed, "What happened to the house?!"
Goku grinned as she rubbed the back of her head. "Oh... Videl just went into a couple of little accidents in my body. Videl and Gohan went off to see Vegita about helping Videl going super saiyan."
"I see... then, what's Videl wearing now?" Chi Chi asked as she looked down at the pile of clothes she was wearing.
"Gohan's saiyanman outfit." Goku replied.
"Well... I got some clothes I'd like to try out on you." Chi Chi said as she reached into the pile and pulled out a japanise blue dress. "There..." She cooed as she held it up to Goku's body. "It should fit."
Goku paled as she held up the dress. "A... dress?"
"I never saw Videl dressed up and this is my chance!" Chi Chi gushed, "Now... add some blush..." Chi Chi grabbed Goku's hand and dragged her into the house.
"Hey!" Goku wailed as the door slammed.
Trunks and Goten sighed as they watched from a distance. "Any ideas on how to get the moon back tonight?" Trunks asked as he looked up.
"What about getting a bunch of cheese and make up a moon?" Goten suggested.
"The moon isn't made up of cheese." Trunks argued. "We could have my grandpa make up a artifical moon."
"Can he do it?" Goten asked in wonder.
"Hey... if your dad can come back from the dead after seven years and we can be one person, anything's possible."
"Then, let's go!" Goten cheered as they got up and rushed to Trunks' house.
*****
Meanwhile... Gohan, Videl, and Vegita were staring at Bulma.
"You mean... you won't argue or threaten my gravity room?" Vegita asked cautiously. One of the things that made Bulma... Bulma is her strong will to get her way. It made her attractive and yet frightening in some strange way.
"Nope... I understand fully." Bulma said as she turned her back and grinned. "I understand that you're... afraid."
"What?!" Vegita screamed as he came up to Bulma. "Afraid of what?!"
"Videl..." Bulma replied as she smirked, "I know how afraid you are of getting beaten by a girl or at least a girl in a man's body."
"I am not afraid of getting beaten by Videl?!" Vegtia boomed as smoke came out of his ears.
"Why not?" Bulma asked, "When you fought Eighteen, you nearly died."
"I was overconfident." Vegita growled.
"So... you are not afraid of Videl because she's in Goku's body?" Bulma tested as Vegita tensed even more.
Videl leaned over to Gohan and whispered, "How can Bulma be so calm? Vegita could destroy this building in a blast."
"She's used to it." Gohan whispered back.
"Of course not! When that Ginyu stole Kakarot's body, I beat him to a pulp! I'll show you! Come on, Videl! Let's get you into super saiyan form!" Vegita growled as he took Videl by the arm and led him away.
Gohan blinked in astonishment as Bulma smirked. Despite the fact that he knew Bulma and Vegita for over seven years, he's still stunned about how Bulma can manipulate Vegita like putty. "Wow... you're good." Gohan complimented.
Bulma grinned evilly as she flashed a 'V' sign. "Well... seven years with him teaches me a few things, let's go watch. This should be fun."
*****
Vegita and Videl stood in a vast clearing. "Okay... first... you have to focus your rage." Vegita instructed, "Think of something that makes you furious."
"My rage?" Videl repeated, "I... don't know..."
"Something that you want to avenge. Something deep in your heart and soul." Vegita explained, "Like your father."
Videl's eyes lit up as his body tensed. It was something that he couldn't stand to listen to. All his life, he knew about how his father had 'saved the world' from Cell when it was just rubbish. "Father..."
"How he lied to the world..." Vegita taunted, "to you... about his deeds..."
"He couldn't help it..." Videl reasoned automatically.
"He was afraid of you..." Vegita growled as he came closer, "He knew you were strong but he didn't want you to know..."
Videl growled as his fists clenched. His eyes flashed bright green for a second. "Why didn't he just tell me?"
"Because he was pathetic." Vegita insisted as he watched Videl's anger and Ki rose. "Your father had no right to call himself 'Champion of the World'."
Videl growled as he arched his head back and his hair twitched into gold. He could feel a surge of power he had never felt before just below the surface. It was there, just begging to be tapped.
"And so was his daughter." Vegita concluded as he powered up. While he had never faced Videl as she powered up, he knew Kakarot's body well. Videl's borrowed body twitched and glowed like a flickering candle. He knew perfectly well that Kakarot's body had the potential but the true question is Videl's mental state.
Unknown to either of them, Bulma and Gohan peeked from behind a cliff. Bulma got out her special scouter and put it on. It was designed to locate strong powers and enhance vision. She made it based off of Raddiz's scouter. "Oh man! Look at Videl!" Bulma exclaimed as she tuned on the warrior.
"I know... she's... he's... Videl's doing it..." Gohan gasped. It was deja'vu for him. He remembered back on Namek almost a lifetime ago, when his father first went Super Saiyan. It was frightening but familiar to him. "Come on, Videl."
"It's not my... fault I'm human!" Videl screamed as his eyes became pupiless and his hair flared up. A pair of green orbs appeared where there was black and a golden aura shot out from around his body.
Bulma's scouter exploded as she jumped back in fright. Vegita went into defense mode and Gohan just gasped. Standing there, was Videl, with gold hair and emerald green eyes. "Let's fight." Videl whispered.
