A Magical Adventure

CHAPTER FOUR - Planet Cardaria

As they soon reached Tachyon 4, Videl and Akkuvedi went and ate food from the capsules that Videl had brought. They stored a year's supply in just one capsule. Now that they were traveling at a faster tachyon speed, they'd reach Cardaria in a few minutes, so they each had a meal. Videl had some of the Tornokoane that she usually had, and Akkuvedi had a rather large meal of Pelkorf, which was saiyan spaghetti. Both of them enjoyed their meals, and then they went and slept for six minutes until they reached Cardaria.

"So," Akkuvedi said. "Why did you create me?"

Videl looked at her friend, and smiled. "I'll be taking a two to four year long trip. I needed a partner and someone to keep me company."

Akkuvedi sat down next to her friend as they landed. "I'll be with you forever."

"Thank you. I needed that."

As they landed on planet Cardaria, they were greeted by King Cold's troops. Obviously, Cold didn't like tourism on his planet.

"FREEZE! YOU ARE PRISONERS OF KING COLD!" yelled several soldiers.

Akkuvedi looked at her frightened friend. "Obviously not the welcoming committee you expected?"

The soldiers moved to the side and made way for lords Frieza and Cooler. The two brothers came up to the duo of Videl and Akkuvedi. Frieza spoke first.

"Are either of you two warriors?"

Akkuvedi raised her hand, sarcastically again. "Present!"

Frieza and Cooler both fired powerful energy blasts, but when the smoke cleared, Akkuvedi was unaffected. She turned the two of them into chocolate candy. Once Frieza and Cooler were candy, all the other soldiers fired on Akkuvedi, but to no avail. A few energy blasts cleared the lot of them. Videl picked up the candy Frieza and Cooler.

"Once I eat these I'll get the power of these two?" She asked Akkuvedi.

Her response was a nod, so she popped the candies in her mouth and ate them quickly. Instantly, she felt her power jump significantly, and she had some new knowledge. It was weird, but she liked it. Once the group was cleared, Akkuvedi and Videl explored the city for a few minutes, when a Cardarian even taller than Frieza and Cooler walked up to them, and he was pissed.

"So," He boomed. "You are the one who defeated my sons."

Akkuvedi became cheery. "That would be me!"

King Cold tried an attack, but it did nothing. Akkuvedi whacked him in the chest, which sent him to the ground, incapacitated. Akkuvedi turned to Videl, she looked happy.

"Hey Videl!" She cried. "I want to get some training here!"

Videl looked at her a bit sheepishly. "You want to get some training here?"

Akkuvedi nodded happily. Videl, having no idea where else to go, decided to accompany her. Now that the entire Cold family was dead, there was really no one to tell them no, so they simply made their way to King Cold's' palace, and decided to put the species under their control. On the way to the palace, several hundred Cardarians followed them. One of them came up next to Akkuvedi.

"So, you visitors are wandering travelers?" He asked.

Videl nodded. "Yeah," She began, "but really we have nowhere else to go. Can you tell us where the Palace of King cold is?"

His eyes widened. "Wait a minute...aren't you the ones who defeated King Cold and his men?"

Akkuvedi, as habit, raised her hand with a hint of sarcasm. "Present!"

He shook Akkuvedi's hand. "Well then. I'd like to shake the hand of the one who defeated a tyrant. My name is Helko."

"Me? I'm Akkuvedi. Videl, my friend here, created me."

He was a bit surprised by that. "C...created you?"

She smiled. "Yeah. Videl's a Mage Warrior."

The trio made their way to the Palace of King Cold, and when they got there, several soldiers ran up to them, holding their palms extended with Ki charged up.

"Freeze! In lord Cold's name, you are under arrest!"

Akkuvedi stood in front of Videl and Helko. "Uh, dudes?" She said, sneering. "In case you didn't hear, I'm the one who defeated Cold and his troops."

They almost jumped. "You're the one who was from space?"

"Yup."

They stood up straight. "Your Excellency! What do you want us to do?"

Akkuvedi turned to Videl. "That's better," She said.

She proceeded to demand accommodations for her friends, and a room where she could train with the best of the Cardarians. As Videl an Helko followed Akkuvedi to the training room, There was but one warrior in the middle of the room. Akkuvedi could feel that this guy had a power level somewhere in the range of three hundred million, which was about a little bit more than her. She was slightly surprised, but was not frightened, nor would she run from a fight.

"My name is Mirtakan," The warrior said, proudly but not arrogantly. "And I shall be your challenging!"

*whack!*

He sent Akkuvedi sailing against the wall with a powerful hit. She picked herself up, but he appeared behind her.

"Looking for me?" He said.

*wham!*

She was sent into the other wall. He was tough, but she could sense that this was his maximum. Problem: she was still outmatched.

*thwack!*

She was sent to the floor, which left a crack in the ring.

*choom!*

He fired a powerful energy blast that sliced off her left hand. As the two stood there, face to face, neither one budging, the hand turned into a puddle of pink goo and moved behind him; somehow he didn't notice.

"I can see that this fight is almost over!" He said, sneering.

Her frown turned to a big grin. "I'm sure you don't REALLY think so, do you?" She asked.

Just then, the puddle of goo engulfed him. He struggled to free himself from it, and only succeeded in further ensnaring himself. Akkuvedi smiled as he struggled, and eventually stopped. She then raised one finger, and the goo attached itself to her stomach area, then became part of her. Seconds later, as the sparks around her began to shoot off, her tanktop changed to Mirtakan's Saiyan-like armor, and her power was significantly greater.

Akkuvedi then walked over to Videl. She was smiling.

"If you don't mind," She said. "I'm gonna go to Planet Mentar to get some chow."

"I'll go with you!" Videl said, trying to convince her friend.

"No, you don't have to. I'll bring you back something."

"Well...okay."

And with that, Akkuvedi flew off toward the spaceship.
