Chapter thirty-one - Dance Lessons
Hiroshi and Da'kar had spent the better part of the last three days, time chamber time, teaching Gohan, Goten, Mirai, and Trunks the Fusion Dance. "I wish this evened out better." he said watching Goten and Trunks run through another practice. "Goten and Trunks make a pair, while you and Gohan make the second." Hiroshi looked over to Mirai sitting beside him. "Once Vegeta wakes up that'll balance us but still leaves Da'kar without a fusion."
"Do you really think we'll need them all?"
"You didn't see Hiroku's fight against Buu, and Buu's not even as powerful as Glacier. At least not yet. From what the Supreme Kai's been saying Buu might well become a match even for Glacier given the time. I intend to be ready to take out the survivor of their inevitable clash."
Mirai nodded. "How much longer until we're all ready for an actual Fusion?"
Hiroshi looked out toward Goten and Trunks. "Well, if we intend to train any I'd say now is the perfect time." He stood up and took a few steps forward. "Goten, Trunks!" he called out. "It's time."
The two boys nodded and got ready. Hiroshi looked over to Mirai and Gohan. "Once they get it right you two will be up." Then he turned back to them as Da'kar walked up to his side. "Alright, ready?"
They nodded.
"Then go!"
"Fuuuuuu. Shunnnnn. HAAAAA!" Their fingers touched and light exploded outward from them blindingly bright.
Mirai's eyes widened, "That's amazing! I can feel their power! They're stronger than me now!"
Gohan nodded. "Me as well. This is impressive, if our power goes up by even this much..."
The light faded and before them stood a single person. His hair stuck straight up and was black except for purple stripes up the side. On his face was a smirk worthy of Vegeta himself. "I rock!" he cried flexing his muscles.
"Yes, it's impressive." Hiroshi said. "But let's see how good you really are. Can you transform?"
The fusion blinked and then smiled. In a flash he went Super Sai-jin. "One transformed Gotenks at your service!" he smirked.
"Alright." Hiroshi said with a smile. "Da'kar. What do you say about a re-match? You against Gotenks."
Da'kar bowed and stepped forward. "Well?"
"Let's go." Gotenks launched forward and slammed a right hook against Da'kar's face sending him sailing. The young fusion stopped to laugh in joy at his power. Da'kar stopped himself in mid air and landed. Bracing his feet and clutching his fists a red aura exploded around him. His muscles began to bulge as they had at the tournament. Gotenks stopped laughing as he felt Da'kar's power build.
"How... he's still stronger than me!" Gotenks cried. In a flash of bright red Da'kar's aura exploded out and then returned to normal. Once more he'd grown in size, only this time he was a bit taller, and his muscles were twice as thick as before.
Hiroshi shook his head. "Da'kar is a Neo Sai-jin, like me. We're born strong. Da'kar there was born with a power level of around three million."
Gohan's eyes bugged out. "Three Million!"
Hiroshi nodded. "His is the highest recorded birth power. Mine's second at 500 thousand. When your father beat Frieza I was in training for just that myself. We knew he was strong but weren't sure how strong. I was at around six million then, and about the same age as you. It's a good thing I didn't go after Frieza myself, I wouldn't have won." He turned to look back out at Gotenks and Da'kar. "Our parents had been the strongest of us up to then. My father, the non Sai-jin half or our blood, was at a million, while our mother was at five million. It wasn't till after Frieza's defeat that our mother went Super Sai-jin.
"As the years went by the Sai-jin race changed, became more gentle and caring. They still had the love of fighting, the challenge of becoming stronger still enticed them greatly, but they cared. After that their powers began to grow rapidly. Our parents soon surpassed me again. When they lost to Glacier.... their power was amazing. I'd never felt anything like it...."
Gotenks turned toward Hiroshi. "But they still lost?"
The Neo Sai-jin nodded. "The battle was in their favor at first. Then, when Glacier transformed.... they began to lose. So they fused into one being. Again they were winning but when Glacier transformed a second time.... they didn't stand a chance....
"By the time Da'kar was born our mother could transform to the third level of Super Sai-jin. Our father could transform as well."
Gotenks lowered his arms and relaxed. He stared at Hiroshi for a moment before glancing over to where Vegeta lay. "We have to stop him." he said softly turning to face Da'kar. "Come on! I've got to get stronger!" he cried launching in. For the remainder of the fusion Gotenks launched one worthless attack after another. Every charge he made was deflected, blocked, or countered completely.
While Gotenks continued to try and hit Da'kar Gohan and Mirai talked to Hiroshi. Before saying anything Gohan glanced over to where Shin sat in meditation. /Just like Piccolo really./ he shook his head and looked back to Hiroshi.
It was Mirai who spoke first though. "You said you're mother could transform to the third level..."
Hiroshi nodded. "Yes, but she couldn't sustain it for long. It was far to draining."
Gohan nodded. "That makes sense. When I first went Super Sai-jin I could barely control it. I still don't know how dad did it."
Mirai looked over to him. "You did pretty good when you reached level two against Cell."
Suddenly there was a whirring sound and they all turned to look. Gotenks took on a blue-white glow and split apart back into Goten and Trunks. "What... what happened?" Trunks asked.
"Times up." Hiroshi said. "You're half hour is over."
"Then we'll fuse again." Goten said.
Da'kar shook his head powering down. "Can't. You have to wait an hour for your bodies to stabilize before the fusion will work again."
"Stabilize?" Goten asked confused.
"Your bodies were just merged, they relied on the other to keep them working." Da'kar explained. "Think of it this way. You build two rooms, each with four walls. Then you take those rooms and merge them into one room with eight walls. Each wall helps the other seven support the ceiling. When the fusion ends you suddenly rip down four of those walls. It takes a while for the remaining walls to get strong enough to hold the ceiling up on their own. Try and power up. You won't be able to get as strong as normal. The difference is small but it will be there."
Hiroshi turned to Mirai and Gohan. "Alright you two. It's your turn now."
