Chapter 19
Videl
"King Kai! What's going on?" Goku asked. "Well, there's been a bit of a problem in the Northwestern Section of our Galaxy. A race of geniuses, the Idego, have created an army of Super Androids, extremely powerful ones. Individually these Super Androids are as strong as Majin Buu when he was awakened, and what's worse, they can all adapt and evolve. The Idego are normally a peaceful race, however, their leader, Primus Cerebus, has gone mad with power. If he isn't stopped, he could become even worse than Frieza in his prime!" King Kai told them. "Wow! An army as strong as Majin Buu? And they can get stronger? Now that sounds like a fight," Goku said.
"Thankfully," King Kai continued, "they haven't moved past their own solar system, and the Super Android army hasn't grown too strong. If you Saiyans hurry, you can stop this before we have another disaster on our hands." "You mean all of us?" Goten asked. "YES! You are all the strongest in the Universe, with your skills and power, you can destroy these Super Androids and stop Primus Cerebus," King Kai said. "This is rather sudden, usually you don't bother telling us anything until it's too late," Vegeta grumbled. King Kai said, "W-Well, the Supreme Kai is worried about our Mortal Level, and is hoping that if the gods are more proactive, it could help." "Then why not ask Beerus-sama?" Pan asked.
"NO!" King Kai yelled, "ABSOLUTELY NOT! We only want to destroy the Super Androids, not wipe out the entire Idego race! They are the most advanced mortal race in the entire Seventh Universe, and like I said, their whole species isn't evil, only their leader! Beerus-sama would only wipe it all out and lower our Mortal Level even further!"
"Alright then," Goku said, "Let's go!" "Hold on Dad!" Gohan quickly said, "There are some problems with that idea. For one, we don't know where the Idego are, also, it might take us a while to get there, and destroy this Super Android Army. Not to mention that I'll have to alert the University, and Gohan will have to call off work too." Gohan then addressed King Kai, "Um, King Kai, do we have time to get our affairs in order?" "Well, the Supreme Kai will be taking you to Cerbrum Prime, the Idego homeworld. That makes things a little simpler as far as transportation goes. I suppose you can take twenty-four hours to get everything together," King Kai responded. "Thank you," Gohan said. "The Supreme Kai should arrive at Goku's House in twenty-four hours to take you all to Cerebrum Prime. Be ready," King Kai told them, and then stopped communicating.
"Alright then, this makes things a little more difficult," Videl finally spoke up. "I know, we're gonna have to think up something for Pan so she doesn't get in trouble at school, plus the University as well," Gohan said as he started thinking. "Not just that; you big goof," Videl told her husband, "You guys are our trump card against Shen's men, but now, you're not going to be here! Us Earthlings will be on our own." "I'm not too worried," Gohan said, then put a hand on her shoulder, "Videl, you're more than capable of handling anything that comes your way." Videl shook her head, "Gohan, I would have believed you, but after seeing what happened to Marron, I need something more. But I don't want to spend another year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, once was enough. I need something faster. I need to learn Kaioken, maybe all of us Earthlings need to learn it."
Everyone turned to Goku then, and he was scratching his head, thinking. After thinking Videl's suggestion over, Goku said, "I can do that…but it's not something anyone too weak can do. I can teach it to Videl, Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien, but you guys are the only ones I can think of that could handle it. Yamcha, you mind not telling your students about it? I don't think they could handle it." Yamcha nodded, "I understand. I'm hoping I won't need it, but Videl is right, every little bit helps." Chi-chi sighed, "I can't believe this is all happening. We can't catch a break, can we?" She then turned to Gohan, "Gohan, you better be a good Father and watch over Pan-chan! And Goten, you better keep on eye on her too when you go." "Grandma! I'll be fine, I'm plenty strong! Plus I got Super Saiyan now, I can take care of myself," Pan moaned.
"No, Chi-chi's right," Goku said, shocking everyone, "If King Kai is right, those Super Androids will be tough. We should make sure to grab some senzu beans before we go." Everyone agreed, and soon they all went home. The Doctors were shocked at Marron's rapid recovery, but didn't try to stop her from leaving. After they left, Goku turned to Videl, "Alright, I'll teach you the Kaioken after you and Krillin get done working. Just call, and I'll come get you guys." "Sure," Videl agreed.
Several Hours Later
Goku met up with Yamcha, Videl, and Krillin at the Mountains. Pinto, Marron, Eighteen, Gohan, and Pan were there as well to give emotional support. "Alright, you're all some of the strongest people I know," Goku began, "Which means that you should be able to handle Kaioken better than I did at first, same with Marron. That said, this is still a dangerous technique that will push your body to its limits, and past it. So, don't use it unless you're absolutely sure you need to," Goku explained. "Got it," Yamcha agreed, and swallowed. "Now, remember, basic Kaioken unlocks your full power, and at higher levels pushes you beyond what you thought possible. It's intense, and you need to keep your control, but that shouldn't be too hard for you," Goku said as he activated Kaioken, "Remember to keep the energy flow contained and under control. Keep your emotions under control. This is for you too, Marron." "Got it, Goku-jii-san!" Marron yelled. "Let the power flow through your bodies, like a river," Goku told Videl, Yamcha, and Krillin.
The three Earthling warriors focused their power, concentrating, remembering the battles they had all witnessed and been a part of. I can do this, I have the power. I've trained so hard, just focus, let the power flow through you… She sensed as Krillin's power skyrocketed, she looked and saw the red aura of Kaioken swirling around him. He then looked at Goku with a smirk, and Goku smirked back before the two old friends started sparring. Krillin moved at speeds Videl never witnessed him move at before, and Goku looked like he was having to focus hard to keep up, before they at last flew back from each other after a minute, and Krillin deactivated Kaioken.
"Phew!" Krillin sighed, "You weren't kidding. Man, now I'm really feeling my age. But damn, that was awesome!" "I know, right?" Goku said, as Yamcha let loose with a loud kiai, "KAIOKEN!" The red aura surrounded him as well and he summoned his Spirit Ball and sent it at Goku. Goku flew around dodging Yamcha's signature technique and yelled, "That's is Yamcha! Keep it up!" Yamcha kept up the attack for about forty seconds before he finally let it go and fell on his knees. "Yamcha!" everyone yelled, but Pinto reached him first and helped him up. "Man, that was intense," Yamcha said and took a deep breath. "Can you walk?" Pinto asked him. "Yeah, just surprised is all," Yamcha told his student/girlfriend, and was surprised when she gave him a kiss. "Be a little more careful," she told him.
"Right!" Yamcha said, unable to stop his blushing. Videl closed her eyes and focused again. "Let the power flow through you Videl," Goku encouraged her, "Like a river, filled with rain. Let your body be the river's path." Videl found her power, it was greater than she expected, so much power was sealed inside of her. She focused hard, and then realized what she was doing wrong. She took a deep breath, and let it all go, letting the power flow through her. When she opened her eyes, a red aura surrounded her, and she clenched her fist, feeling like she could fly right through an entire mountain range.
She immediately tested her new power on Goku, and he happily obliged, dodging and countering her attacks as she moved faster than she ever thought possible for her to ever reach. The two of them went back and forth, trading blows, until finally Videl felt like her body was growing overheated, and she stopped the Kaioken. Goku smiled at her, and Gohan and Pan went to her. "That was awesome, Mom!" Pan cheered her. "Thanks baby," Videl said as she ruffled her daughter's hair. "Looks like we got nothing to worry about now," Yamcha declared, "We can handle any punk that comes now." "Definitely," Videl agreed.
