Chapter 40: Unlocking Potential, Returning to Time Rifts, and Going on a Date
(Opening Theme: Animal I have Become by Three Days Grace)
Pearl woke up to the warmth of Kenshiro's body. She had a small smile on her face as she gave him a small kiss on the lips, waking him up. "You have no idea how much I missed this," Kenshiro told her as he kissed her back. The two of them got ready for the day, Kenshiro dressing in his regular blue gi with red undershirt and brown boots, while Pearl put on a purple qipao with black sleeves and white edging along with purple shoes. By the time they were ready, Barit had already made a large meal of scrambled eggs and sausages for them. The three of them all ate quietly, just happy that things had returned to normal for them. There was a knock on the door when they were done, and Pearl answered it to see Elder Kai waiting for her. "Pearl, how are you feeling?" he asked. "I feel amazing, actually!" Pearl told him. Elder Kai nodded, "That's good, then it's about time for your Final Test. If you can pass this one, then you'll be ready to have your Potential Unlocked." "Really!?" Pearl said in surprise.
"Indeed, you've seen Kenshiro's Potential, and I believe that you can surpass him," Elder Kai explained. "Can we come, Elder Kai-sama?" Kenshiro asked. "Alright then, let's go," Elder Kai said. Pearl quickly grabbed four Healing Capsules as they headed out to the Time Patroller Academy, and the robot waiting for Pearl. "Good luck," Barit and Kenshiro wished Pearl as in a flash of light, she disappeared.
Pearl reappeared in Space, or at least extremely high in the Earth's atmosphere. Pearl powered up, just in time for her first opponent to arrive, Pan. Pan immediately went on the attack, Pearl quickly blocked three kicks and a hard double-palm strike before countering with Big Bang Attack, knocking the quarter-Saiyan girl back. Pearl used Instant Transmission to get in front of Pan and landed a hard punch to her stomach, only for Pan to use Maiden Burst to knock Pearl back, then landed a strong Kamehameha Wave. Pearl recovered quickly just as Pan tried to attack her from behind and used Mystic Flash, catching her by surprise before knocking her out with a hard uppercut. Pearl's next opponent then flew over, Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.
Jaco fired away with his laser gun, making Pearl work to dodge the surprisingly strong laser beams as she flew towards him. Jaco caught Pearl by surprise with a hard uppercut and then a strong kick to her stomach, knocking her back, before finishing with a blast from his laser gun that exploded once it hit her. Pearl shook off the attack in time to dodge Jaco's follow up kick and grabbed him from behind, pounded her fist into his skull, then stretched back and slammed her legs into his back. Jaco was stunned from the attack, and Pearl quickly powered up a Super Kamehameha that defeated The Galactic Patrolman. Pearl's third opponent made his presence known when his massive fist slammed into the back of her head before he kicked her away. Pearl quickly turned around in time to block Broly's next three punches before kicking him in the solar plexus, knocking him back and giving her some room.
Broly yelled as he tossed his Blaster Shells at her, Pearl dodged all but the last one, that hit her hard in her stomach. Pearl saw him coming in to grab her and quickly used Instant Transmission to get behind him, then hit him with Big Bang Attack, and followed up with a Kamehameha Wave. Broly was sent flying back, and Pearl flew after him, knowing that to defeat the giant Legendary Super Saiyan she would have to practically deconstruct him. Broly turned around and tried to throw a punch that she caught. Pearl then sent a spear hand strike into his armpit, deep enough to dislocate his arm. Broly screamed in pain, and Pearl repeated the tactic with his other arm. Broly then surprised Pearl with a head butt, but she stayed calm before kicking him back and finishing Broly with a Super Kamehameha that destroyed him completely. Pearl sighed in relief, then saw her next opponent. "Uh oh," she said when she realized she would have to fight Beerus the Destroyer. Beerus immediately got Pearl in a standing rear naked choke before letting her go and kicking her hard, sending her flying.
Pearl couldn't dodge the Test Beerus's next attack, God of Destruction's Anger. As the deceptively small blast hit her, Pearl was sent flying even further back. Pearl quickly blasted away with ki balls to distract Beerus long enough to use one of her Capsules. Feeling herself become rejuvenated, Pearl quickly went on the counterattack. Test Beerus and Pearl's fists clashed together, and Pearl was amazed to see she was equal to him. She let fly with a kick that the God of Destruction blocked with a hand, then dodged his back palm and knocked him back with Big Bang Attack. Pearl focused all her power then and landed a hard kick to Beerus's gut, knocking the air out of him. Pearl blasted him back with a Kamehameha Wave and went for a follow up kick, only for Beerus to parry her kick then flick her forehead, sending her flying back. Pearl recovered just in time to see Beerus powering up his Sphere of Destruction.
Pearl summoned all the power she had left as she focused it all into her hands. "Kaa-mee-" Beerus tossed his Sphere of Destruction at her but she stood her ground, "Haa-mee-" "PEARL!" Kenshiro screamed from Conton City, the Sphere of Destruction was almost on top of her as she let loose with all her power, "HHHHHAAAAAAA!" Pearl's Super Kamehameha Wave hit the Sphere of Destruction as it was only a foot away from hitting her, stopping it dead. "HHHHHAAAAAAAA!" Pearl screamed even louder as she let loose with everything she had, knocking the Sphere of Destruction right back at Beerus. The Sphere of Destruction and Super Kamehameha Wave created a blinding explosion as they struck the Test Beerus, and when Pearl's eyes readjusted, she saw him still standing there, very badly hurt. Pearl quickly used Instant Transmission to get to Beerus, and finished the fight with a roundhouse kick, knocking him out. "Hmm… You passed the test!" Elder Kai declared, "I didn't think you'd make it this far! Wonderful!"
Pearl returned to the Time Patroller Academy to see Elder Kai smiling. "Now, we're almost all set to Unlock your True Potential! However, you do need to change your outfit, somewhat, and we can begin," Elder Kai said, his smile grew a little bit. "What kind of outfit?" Pearl asked. Elder Kai turned around and said, "Well, that little number Goku's wife Chi-chi wore as a kid would be quite a thing to see on a woman of your figure…" Kenshiro stared at the Elder Kai with a look between shock, horror, and perverted giddiness. "For twenty-five hours!?" Pearl said. "No, only about an hour," Elder Kai told her. "Huh?" Pearl, Barit, and Kenshiro all asked. Elder Kai turned back to them with a proud look on his face, "Indeed, during these tests I've slowly been Unlocking your Potential in increments. Your power has grown immensely, however, with one last push, we can truly unleash it all." "Wow…" Pearl said, "Alright then, I'll do it, if we go to the Time Nest." "Certainly," Elder Kai said, and tossed her a Capsule. "Let's go," Elder Kai said, walking with a lot of spring in his step for such an ancient old man.
The four of them entered the Time Nest and Elder Kai turned around, "Go ahead and get changed, and we can finish the Ceremony." "Alright," Pearl said, and knocked on the door of the Supreme Kai of Time's House. "Yes?" the Supreme Kai of Time answered the door. "Excuse me, Supreme Kai of Time-sama, but can I use your house to change, just for a few minutes?" Pearl asked. "Okay," the Goddess of Time said, and shut the door as soon as Pearl was inside. "So, I take it the Old Man wants you to wear something perverted before he Unlocks your Potential," the Supreme Kai of Time said as Pearl headed to her bathroom. "Yes, but it's not too bad, only Kid Chi-chi's Outfit," Pearl answered. "Whoa! I never thought he had any interest in her," the Supreme Kai of Time commented as Pearl changed. "I don't know, I mean, she was very pretty throughout most of her life. Some people at the Academy even wondered if she wasn't part Saiyan for keeping her figure for as long as she did," Pearl said as she struggled to get the helmet on with her glasses, only to see she had to take her glasses off.
Pearl emerged wearing Kid Chi-chi's Outfit, and the Supreme Kai of Time appraised her. "You fill it out better than I thought, you look amazing!" she said. Pearl blushed as she said, "Thank you." The Supreme Kai of Time opened the door. When Barit, Kenshiro, and Elder Kai saw her, their jaws dropped. Elder Kai had a giant smile on his face as he told Pearl to lay down and make herself comfortable. Pearl said down on her side and propped her head up on her right arm, Kenshiro went around looking at her from various angles before finding one he wanted. "Kenny, really?" Pearl asked as Kenshiro took out his phone and took pictures. "Just let me have this, and I'll do anything you want me to," he told her. "Alright," Pearl said as Elder Kai started the Ceremony.
For the whole hour Pearl stayed in place, quietly observing the Time Nest, watching the Supreme Kai of Time drag Kenshiro and Barit into a game of hide and seek with Tokitoki. Pearl smiled as she watched them try to find the Divine Bird, not seeing him perched in a window of the Time Vault. In almost no time, the hour was up, and Pearl felt power surge through her, greater than anything she had ever felt before! "Alright, all done," Elder Kai said, running back and putting Kenshiro and Barit between himself and Pearl, "Go ahead and give it a go!" Pearl grasped her fists and let loose with a mighty yell as her pink ki swirled around her, before suddenly turning pure silver as her power surged to all new levels she didn't know she had. Pearl kept on yelling as she felt her power grow more and more, the helmet she wore flew off her head as the cape of the outfit swirled around until at last she stopped and looked at her hands. "Holy shit!" Barit said, "I…never imagined you had such power locked inside you!"
"Neither did I!" Pearl yelled in surprise, "I feel like I could break the Earth if I'm not careful!" Pearl took a slow and deep breath to return her Power Level to normal, then headed back into the Supreme Kai of Time's House to get back in her qipao. When she emerged, she handed the Capsule with Kid Chi-chi's Outfit to Elder Kai who said, "Keep it, think of it as a gift." "Oh I will," Kenshiro said out loud before he realized it. Pearl shook her head and tossed the Capsule to him. "Alright, but I expect something back form you later," Pearl said. "What?" Kenshiro asked. Pearl gave a small smile, "I'll think of something." "Alright then," the Supreme Kai of Time said, "Now that that is taken care of, Pearl, I suggest you head out, some Time Rifts are acting up." "Alright," Pearl said as she, Kenshiro, and Barit left the Time Nest. "See you later, Kenny," Pearl said as she Instant Transmitted to Frieza's Spaceship.
She entered the Time Rift and headed straight for Cooler. Cooler was in his Fifth Form and ready to go, "Alright then, Captain, let us be off! I'm even stronger than I was before!" Cooler's Spaceship landed on Time Rift Namek, and he and Pearl disembarked. Cooler went straight at Pearl, who quickly blocked his attacks. Pearl blocked dozens of blows, the whole time she was amazed at how easy it was now. Cooler backed off and yelled, "Is that all!? Show me every last grain of your skill!" Pearl smiled and told him, "Alright, you asked for it!" Pearl Unleashed her Potential, her silver aura blinding Cooler before she landed a hard punch to his stomach, then followed up with a kick to his chin. She ended the combo with Big Bang Attack, sending Cooler flying. Pearl flew after him and Cooler blocked her punch, only to receive a knee to his chin and two hammer fists to the top of his head. Cooler was knocked down, but quickly jumped up and kicked Pearl back. Ki swirled around Cooler, "Yes! I can feel the power coursing through me!" With a massive yell, Cooler's body transformed, shrank and condensed into about the same size as his Fourth Form, and then silver ki swirled around him as his body's color changed into a metallic color, Metal Cooler was born. "Yes! I have you to thank for this power! Anything you want, shall be yours!" Metal Cooler declared.
"I'd say we're done training," Pearl said. "Indeed," Metal Cooler said as they returned to his Spaceship. Cooler and Frieza's troops all gasped in shock when they saw Metal Cooler as he headed for his throne. Metal Cooler sat down and said, "Now I really am the strongest in the Universe. This is more than a simple transformation. I've evolved into the Ultimate Being! I suppose I should thank you. It was only thanks to you that I acquired this power. Here, take this." Metal Cooler snapped his fingers, and a suit of purple and black armor was presented to Pearl, along with a stack of three thousand Zeni. Pearl put the armor and Zeni inside Capsules and bowed to Metal Cooler. "Use it as you see fit," Metal Cooler said, then his throne turned away from Pearl. Pearl left the Spaceship and headed out of the Time Rift, then headed around Conton City to gather food for Majin Buu's family. It took her awhile, but she eventually got everything she needed and headed to Majin Buu's House.
She arrived inside the Time Rift to see Majin Buu and his children all just laying back and enjoying the sun and watching the clouds. "Hi," Pearl said. "HI!" they all greeted her. "Come lay down, it's so nice today," Time Rift Majin Buu invited Pearl. "Alright, just let me put this food I brought away and I'll join you," Pearl said. Pearl went into Majin Buu's House and put the food someplace safe, then went out and laid down on the ground. If she didn't know it was a Time Rift, Pearl would never have guessed it wasn't 'real'. The grass was soft, the sky was beautiful, and the sun wasn't too hot on her as she laid back and watched the clouds. Pearl just quietly watched, and relaxed. It had been a long time since she had just relaxed, so much time had been spent fighting and training. All of it, for families like this one. After a while Pearl decided to get up. "Goodbye, take care of each other," she told Time Rift Majin Buu and his children. "Bye-bye! Take care! See you soon!" Majin Buu's children all said goodbye, and Pearl left the Time Rift, feeling better than she had in a long time.
She sensed Barit at the Time Machine Station and headed in that direction. Barit was watching on the screen overhead as Kenshiro was sparring with Bage. To put it bluntly, he was winning easily. "So, what made this happen?" Pearl asked. "Bage wanted to test his power," someone answered behind her. Pearl saw it was June Calor with her babies napping in a stroller. "I tried to warn him," Barit said as Kenshiro deflected a dozen ki balls blasted by a Super Saiyan 2 Bage before hitting him with a Galick Gun, beating him. Bage and Kenshiro returned to Conton City and Bage clapped Kenshiro on his back, "Good job. Nice to know where I gotta work to improve." "Anytime man," Kenshiro said. "Well, let's go, Bage. I think it's time for that walk you promised me," June said. "Alright," Bage said as he went to her. "Bye," June said, and put two fingers to her forehead, and Instant Transmitted away. "How do you do that?" Kenshiro asked. "Basically, you move yourself from one spot to another by transferring first your consciousness, then ki, and finally body through space to another spot. It takes time and concentration, though homing in on a specific ki signature helps," Pearl said. "I get that…but how do you go so…instant?" Kenshiro asked. "I'm not sure, actually," Pearl admitted, "Though I guess it's kind of like how Majins can reassemble ourselves after blowing up, our bodies just want to reform as soon as possible, so they do."
"So…it's like a reflex?" Barit asked. "Something like that," Pearl said, "By the way, Kenny…" "Yes?" Kenshiro asked. "I know what you can do for me since I let you take those pictures of me in Kid Chi-chi's Outfit. You can take me out on a date, outside of Conton City, we can grab lunch, see a movie, then take a walk through a park," Pearl told him. "That's it?" Kenshiro asked, confused. "Yeah, it's been a long time since we had a real date," Pearl said. "Sure, just let me get my wallet, do you want us to change before we go?" Kenshiro asked. Pearl shook her head, "I'll be waiting at the fountain in the Shopping District." "Alright," Kenshiro said, and flew to their apartment.
"Really, that's all?" Barit asked. "That's all I want," Pearl said, then her eyes grew wide, "Oh no! I forgot to get my engagement necklace from Jade!" "Go get her then," Barit said. Pearl closed her eyes and searched for Jade's ki. Kenshiro arrived and said, "I'm ready to go." "Okay, we just need to go make a quick detour…or two," Pearl told him. "Alright," Kenshiro said and wrapped an arm around Pearl's shoulders. Pearl first Instant Transmitted to the Hotel she had stayed at and grabbed her clothes and Interdimensional Cable Box, thankful they were where she left them, then Instant Transmitted back to their apartment to drop them off. She focused again and found Jade's ki, and Instant Transmitted to her sister. Jade was wearing a blue and green qipao with red edging, walking around Satan City. "Jade!" Pearl said when they arrived.
"Pearl! How did it go!? I sensed your power exploding, and then well, holy shit! You're so strong now!" Jade exclaimed, even without a Scouter she could sense part of Pearl's power. "I won, as you can see. Then I went back to Conton City, and got even stronger," Pearl told her sister, "We're going on a date now…and I just realized I forgot my engagement necklace, do you still have it?" "Sure," Jade said, reaching into a pocket and pulling out the silver engagement necklace in the shape of the kanji for Eien no Ai, Eternal Love. Jade gave it to Pearl, who quickly put it on. Pearl wrapped Jade in a hug and Jade hugged her back, "Thank you, sis." "Pearl, I know you are going soon, but, can you help me find Brocc? At least tell me where he might be?" Jade said. "I sense him already," Kenshiro said, "He's way over in South City, Jade." "WOW! I'm really far off!" Jade exclaimed. "What about Mama, Papa, Amber, and Silver?" Pearl asked. "Mama and Papa went back home with them so Amber and Silver could go back to school, but said they'll keep looking for him tomorrow while they're at school, they made a Missing Person Report too, so the police are looking for him too," Jade told her.
"Okay, if you need my help, tell them to call me," Pearl told her. "We'll be fine, you two just…go have fun! You deserve it!" Jade said. "Alright," Pearl said. Kenshiro put his arm around her shoulders again and Pearl Instant Transmitted them away once again. When they arrived Kenshiro looked around, he'd never been to this city, "Where are we?" "Ever since I was eleven, my family would take me here to East City for my birthdays, because I liked the museums here. They have some amazing restaurants we can go to, and a nice park as well," Pearl told him. "Lead on then, I'm just a simple country boy," Kenshiro told her. They walked for about half an hour, the whole time Kenshiro watched the tall skyscrapers and marveled at various statues and historic plaques inside East City. They finally arrived at a large, very upscale looking restaurant. Kenshiro read the name, "The Speakeasy…You've got to be kidding me, this place looks like the opposite of a speakeasy..." "They have a big Prohibition theme," Pearl told him, and focused her Majin Magic through her tentacles and focused hard, transforming their clothes.
In a puff of smoke, Kenshiro was wearing a navy-blue suit with black dress shoes and matching fedora while she was wearing a bright violet flapper's dress complete with hat and purse. "Whoa…I keep forgetting that you can do that," Kenshiro said as he adjusted his hat and put on his best gangster voice, "Let's go doll, see what the joint's like." "Absolutely," Pearl said with a laugh as they went in. The host seated them quickly and the waiter was just as quick. "Good evening, sir and madam, how would you like to start your meal?" he asked. Kenshiro checked the menu and looked at Pearl, "Wanna try these cocktails? They look pretty interesting." "Sure…I'll have the Corpse Reviver, and the salad for an appetizer," Pearl ordered. "The Hanky Panky for me, salad too," Kenshiro ordered. The waiter nodded and went to get their salads and drinks while they checked the entrees. In the end Kenshiro decided on getting a large beef and vegetable soup with a side of bread while Pearl had a large cut of steak with a baked potato on the side.
As they waited for their food, Pearl thought about their future, and turned to Kenshiro. "Kenny…are you sure, about us?" "Hmm? Of course, I am…I've been thinking about it off and on for almost a month now. If this is about that thing with Brocc, I know it wasn't you," he told her. "No, it's not that. Kenny, before he kicked me out, Barit told me that you had ideas about how we could have children," Pearl said. Kenshiro was silent for a moment as their food arrived. They ate quietly for a few minutes before Kenshiro finally said, "Honestly, it's just different versions of the same plan. It's all up to Shenron, or our warper friends. I came up with a few solutions to that." "What are they?" Pearl asked him. "I can only think up four things for us, and a dumb one too. Basically, summon Shenron, and ask him to either make me able to have children with you, make you able to have my children, if he can't do that, then wish to turn into a Majin, or you into a Human, if that's what you want," Kenshiro told her. They were quiet for a few more minutes as Pearl and he ate, and she imagined those plans, and what they would look like if their species were reversed.
"You'd really change yourself into a Majin, for me?" Pearl said when she was almost done with her food. Kenshiro swallowed his last spoonful of soup before he took her hand and said, "Of course I would." Pearl swallowed, "And, if Shenron can't, you think Bage and Amaya and Rachel, or Ryo could…what about that dumb plan?" "See if he could make all Humans and Majins compatible so they could have kids. It's dumb because we shouldn't get others involved. Pearl, I've paid attention to Majins in Conton City, your people and mine are different when it comes to ideas about sex. For us, it's serious business since it's how we have children, but since Majins don't reproduce the same way, sex is just another fun thing for you…right?" Kenshiro said. "Not for every Majin…but generally that's right," Pearl told him, "As long as everyone agrees to it, Majins are up for almost any sex thing. So, you figure a lot of unwanted pregnancies could happen if we made both our species genetically compatible." "Exactly," Kenshiro told her. Pearl nodded, "We still have time to think that over, even if we can't… we can always adopt. Any child I raise with you, I would love, with all my heart, genetics be damned."
Kenshiro and Pearl kissed on it and left the restaurant arm in arm after paying and giving a nice tip. Pearl led Kenshiro to the park she mentioned, it was a massive public park with a flower garden, children's playground, and space for people to sit and enjoy a picnic together. As they walked, Kenshiro asked, "Pearl, that talk got me thinking, about the actual wedding, how do you want it to be?" "Well, Majins don't really have a 'traditional wedding', we just get married however the couple wants. Mama and Papa had a real small wedding in a Hotel, just them and some friends, a priest, Mama in a white wedding dress and Papa in a tuxedo, but I've seen couples get married in Halloween costumes, on ships, planes, in courts, there's no one way a Majin can be married. One third of Majin couples don't even bother getting married, they move in, and start having kids. What's a wedding like in Cashew Village?" Pearl said.
"It's pretty old fashioned really, it's not just a union of two people, their families become one as well. The groom wears white, while the bride wears black, to symbolize yang and yin, you invite everyone in the Village, though nowhere near everyone comes, those that don't send gifts of food or money. The High Priest will offer his blessings, and then pour tea for our families. Our families raise their cups to each other and say, 'So-and-so, I, so-and-so, embrace you as my family,' and drink together. But before that, Pearl, you'll need to go to the graveyard and kowtow to my parent's graves, to show you respect my family, if you were from Cashew Village and your parents were dead I'd have to do the same. After our families accept each other, the High Priest has us bow to him and he places his hands on our heads, gives us a final blessing, and that's it, we're married. Then there's the reception, dancing, eating, drinking, it's huge! And then, when we want to leave, our families and friends stand aside and let us pass, and we go home as fast as we can, and then the honeymoon starts," Kenshiro said with a wiggle of his eyebrows.
"That sounds romantic," Pearl said as they passed by the playground and saw some kids playing hide and seek. "Is that what you'd like to do?" Kenshiro asked her. "I think so," Pearl told him. "Alright, we won't have to worry about food, trust me, the last wedding I went to there was enough food to feed an army of Majins, and leftovers that kept the couple fed for almost a year…Thing is ours might be humongous, just because everyone in Cashew Village thinks of me as their greatest hero now, plus our friends who helped fight the Neo-Red Ribbon Army…" Kenshiro stopped as he thought about his entire Village being present in his and Pearl's wedding. "Oh boy…that'll be insane…" he whispered aloud. "I still want to do it," Pearl said. "Alright, just don't be surprised if we go blind from all the pictures people take," Kenshiro told her. "And that's why Majin Magic is so great," Pearl reminded him as they kept on walking. They kept on walking through the park, enjoying the sights and each other's company, when suddenly they sensed Jade's ki signature. "What!?" Pearl said as they looked up in the sky and saw Jade, only for her to be hit by dark energy, and start falling from the sky. "Jade!" Pearl yelled as she flew up and caught her.
Pearl flew down and saw the top of Jade's qipao was torn completely off and she was covered in bruises. "Jade, what happened!?" Pearl asked. "BROCC!" Kenshiro yelled as they looked up to see Brocc in his Super Saiyan 3 Form flying at them. Brocc looked at them with a cocky grin, his aura was swirling with dark energy. "What did you do?!" Pearl yelled. "Bitch wouldn't put out," Brocc said, then glared at them, "Get out of my way." Kenshiro got between the Saiyan and Jade, "You take one more step towards her, and it'll be the last thing you ever do in this life." Brocc glared at him, then turned around and started walking away. "Pearl?" Jade said as she got up. Kenshiro quickly covered her with the coat from his suit, "Let's get you- GAAAH!"
Two ki blasts tore through his chest before he could say more. "KENNY!" Pearl screamed and tried to heal him, only to then sense a larger ki blast coming. She quickly pushed Jade out of the way, only to take the full brunt of Brocc's Vacation Delete attack. "Pearl!" Jade yelled, then Brocc grabbed her by her tentacles and made her look at him, "Now, I think you owe me something." Brocc started unzipping his pants, and Jade glared at him as she gathered ki in her stomach. "NO!" Jade yelled as she blasted him full on with an Ill Flash, knocking him back from her. "Jade! Run! I can't move!" Pearl told her, the paralyzing effect of Vacation Delete was multiplied to a level Pearl never felt before. Brocc glared as the dark aura around him grew stronger, and his eyes started to glow purple, "Go ahead, it'll just make it easier to stick it in when you're not struggling as hard."
Jade looked from the defenseless Pearl and Kenshiro to Brocc, and stood up instead, and stood between them. "No…Jade…" Kenshiro said, and coughed up blood, both his lungs were messed up, Pearl could sense he was drowning in his own blood. "No! Kenny!" Pearl screamed. Jade's power flared out all around her, and then steam shot out of the holes in the young Majin girl's arms as she yelled, "FUTTEN! BLUE!" Steam blasted around Jade as her green skin turned dark blue and her white eyes glowed orange while the red circle markings on her cheeks turned white. "Alright, come on then!" Brocc yelled at her. Only Jade and Kenshiro saw what happened next. Jade shot forward and slammed a fist into Brocc's solar plexus, knocking the wind out of him, before pulling his head into her knee.
Brocc was sent flying up before Jade flew up after him and grabbed him, holding him close as she spun around, dragging him head first into the ground below in what could only be called the mother of all pile drivers! Dirt exploded around them everywhere as Jade jumped out of the resulting crater. "We're through Brocc!" Jade yelled as she raised her hand and summoned a massive Super Vanishing Ball and tossed it into the crater. The crater doubled in size as the Super Vanishing Ball exploded inside it. The Vacation Delete wore off on Pearl almost instantly and she quickly went to Kenshiro and healed his injuries. Jade deactivated Futten Blue, and immediately passed out. Jade went to her after healing Kenshiro's injuries and held her up. "Jade, are you alright?" she asked as she healed her, her body was covered in burns from the power of Futten Blue. "Thirsty…so thirsty…" Jade said. "We'll get you plenty of water soon," Pearl promised. Kenshiro flew into the crater and was surprised that Brocc was still intact, knocked out, but still in one piece.
Kenshiro quickly formed ki rings around Brocc's body to secure him and lifted him out of the crater. "We need to get back to Conton City," he told Pearl. Kenshiro grabbed her shoulder as Pearl held Jade close and Instant Transmitted back to Conton City.
