The two Saiyans looked over at the Supreme Kai with identical confused faces. "What's the Z-sword?" Gohan asked curiously.
"We will explain it on the way. Now, come you two. Follow us." He looked over at Jamie, "You can fly can't you?"
Jamie gave him a weird look, "Uh, yeah," which came out more like "no duh".
"Good, let's go."
The teenagers reluctantly left each other's arms. They had hoped that they would have been able to have a chance to catch up with each other, but the Supreme Kai had other plans.
Jamie and Gohan followed closely behind the two flying figures that were leading them to the Z-sword. They tried to explain the story of the Z-sword as they flew, but Gohan and Jamie both didn't seem to hear any word they said. They were more interested in stealing glances at each other, resulting in light blushes.
They hadn't seen each other in seven years and there were still so many questions that they had for each other. There was so much left unsaid. They were reunited for a few minutes before immediately being pulled apart to "save the world" again but the insistence of the Supreme Kai and Kibito. They both tried hard to hide their frustration, but failed miserably.
Their attention was brought back to the figures in front when they heard the annoyed grunt of Kibito. "You two aren't even paying attention are you? Don't you realize the seriousness of the situation?" He let out a frustrating growl, "Just look at the way you are dressed," he directed at Gohan. "This is a disgrace to the Kais and this sacred planet."
Gohan didn't have time to retort with words but instead widened his eyes a little in fear when Kibito held out a palm to him. A strange glow went from his hand and surrounded Gohan. He looked nervously as he watched new clothes start to appear in place of his old tattered ones. The clothes were similar to the ones that Kibito and the Supreme Kai were wearing. He had thick, ruffly shoulder pads along with big poofy pants and the same old style boots. Long dangling earrings also hung from both of his ears. All in all he looked…well just weird.
Jamie's mouth curved into a grin. She couldn't hold back the laughter that erupted from inside. The words that she tried to say wouldn't come out because she was laughing so hard, so she resulted to pointing instead.
"Ha-ha, Oh my god Gohan you should see yourself!" Her hands held her waist as her sides ached and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes while her laughter rang out. Her laughter was interrupted when she felt a weird warm feeling engulf her.
She looked up quickly to see Kibito's palm facing her now. Her jaw dropped in surprise, but he was done before she could protest. She gave out a frightened squeak when she looked down to see what her new clothes looked like. It was a heavy, ruffly white dress, with long sleeves and ruffles at the shoulders as well. (Like the dress the little mermaid wore at her wedding. I was watching the movie right now and it's exactly like I pictured…anyways…) Even her hair was done up in a tight fancy hair do, with curls dangling loosely in some places. It was complete with the same earrings as well.
Now it was Gohan's turn to laugh and point. Supreme Kai and Kibito couldn't help, but join in at the sight of the, now pouting Jamie. "Hey! This isn't funny. Change me back!"
"Oh come on Jamie; you look good," Gohan teased.
Jamie crossed her arms angrily and looked away with a pout. "Yeah right. This dress must be a hundred years old. It's got petticoats and everything! And look at this," she held pulled her dress up to reveal her white heels, still flying forward with them. "How am I supposed to walk in these?"
Gohan cracked up even more at that, "Don't worry, you're flying." He hid the fact that he thought she looked beautiful. And when she pouted like that, she was especially cute. Jamie I've missed you so much. Why did you leave me? We missed out on so much. He looked away for a moment to try to regain himself from the overwhelming sad feeling that was growing inside of him. So much has happened in the past seven years…
Jamie sulked for the rest of the flight, but it was shortly after that they reached the sight of the Z-sword. There it stood out of the giant rock. It doesn't look that hard to pull out, she thought, but decided it was probably best to keep that thought to herself.
When the four of them gathered around the Z-sword Gohan stepped forward to study it a little. "This is it?" he asked with a little disappointment.
"Yes Gohan, if you can pull it out we will be able to defeat Buu."
"Who's-." Jamie was stopped by the Supreme Kai's silencing hand.
"Later," he simply replied.
Jamie went back to her previous state of sulking. "I hate being out of the loop," she mumbled under her breath.
"I don't know why you're wasting your time with these two. If you were not able to pull it out what makes you think he can," Kibito said while angrily pointing a finger at Gohan.
The Supreme Kai remained calm. "You had your turn Kibito as have I. It doesn't hurt for him to at least try." (Rhyme)
Gohan gave a light shrug before positioning himself in front of the sword. "Here goes nothing."
The other three held their breaths as Gohan grasped the handle and began to pull. He grunted continuously as he struggled, aware that his face was turning red. It felt like his teeth might shatter at any moment from the pressure from him clenching them so hard. His eyes squeezed shut as he gave one last effort, but his hands gave out, making his body slam back. An indent formed in the ground when his head hit.
Jamie bit her lip in an effort to stifle her laugh. It looked like it hurt, but she couldn't help it, it was funny. She knew he wasn't hurt, but she still felt kind of bad.
Kibito grunted smugly in a response as a wordless, "I told you so." But Gohan wasn't about to give up. He stood up and gave his head a quick rub while he let his throbbing hands rest for a few seconds. His brows furrowed in determination when he clenched his fists and powered up into a Super Saiyan.
Jamie took a moment to study his new form and felt a little sadness settle inside when she began to think of how much she had missed in the past seven years. His Super Saiyan form was the only form she had ever seen him in and now she could really see all the changes. It was obvious that he was a lot taller and bigger now; he was a lot older now. He looks so different now. I wondered how much has gone on since I've been gone. She gave a soft sigh. I miss his crazy long hair. I don't know if I can get used to this new him.
Her blue eyes locked with Gohan's fiery green ones and he gave her a nod which she returned in understanding.
Kibito only scoffed at Gohan's efforts when Gohan returned his attention to the unmoved sword. "Even in your Super Saiyan form you will not be able to remove the sword…"
Gohan blocked out the rest of Kibito's discouraging speech. Instead he used it to fuel his determination and Saiyan stubbornness, to remove the sword from the earth. Once again he was called upon to be the savior of the earth and that's exactly what he planned to do. He had to remove this sword; humanity was counting on him. Failure was not an option. The fate of the world was in his hands yet again as it was when he was just a boy.
He could feel Jamie's eyes on him and he knew they were full of encouragement. He knew she would be by his side no matter what. Somehow her thoughts reached him, warming his soul. They made his chest puff out a little in a new confidence and he knew right then that he would not fail; he could not fail.
His hands once again shot out to grasp the base of the sword. After securing a tight grip he pulled up with an extreme intensity that surprised them all.
Kibito's words drowned out of everyone's ears as they focused on Gohan's struggle. The ground around their feet was beginning to weaken and give way as Gohan pulled even harder.
Their eyes widened a little in disbelief, unsure if their eyes were playing a trick on them when they thought they witnessed a little movement of the blade. Another blink and they knew it was no trick. The blade of the Z-sword was growing ever so slowly as it left the earth.
With one final scream of intensity from Gohan the blade finally, after many centuries, revealed its full length as his feet pushed off the ground.
Gasps escaped from the dropped jaws of Kibito and the Supreme Kai. Meanwhile Jamie's mouth held a smile of admiration which Gohan returned with a tired wink. She looked away when the pink color formed on her cheeks.
The Supreme Kai and Kibito were still wrapped up in amazement while an extremely tired Gohan hovered in the sky, still clasping onto the sword with both of his hands. "You did it; you pulled out the Z-sword when the Kais could not. Now we can finally destroy Majin Buu," Kibito admitted still shocked.
"Yes, try it out Gohan!" the Supreme Kai insisted excitedly. "Let's see what it can do!"
Gohan gave a small and nod and powered down. Immediately when he did, the weight of the sword pulled him down quickly, forcing him to the ground. Surprisingly he managed to hold on. It was then that they realized that this wouldn't be as easy as they thought.
Jamie descended and landed softly next to Gohan's hunched over form. "How is it Gohan?"
Gohan lifted the sword again and shakily placed it on his shoulder. His torso immediately started to tip backwards before bending back. The end of the sword kept him from hitting the ground, leaving him in a backwards arch.
Jamie looked at him curiously in his awkward position, not sure what to think or say. Gohan stared back, his head still upside down, with a lost look before they both broke out into a loud giggles.
The Supreme Kai and Kibito, however, were not amused and scolded the two teenagers. "This is no laughing matter."
"How are we going to defeat Buu when he can barely move the sword? Look at him!" Kibito complained.
The teenage Saiyans ignored the scolding and kept their attention on each other. "Do you need help getting up?" Jamie teased.
"I think I can manage." Gohan struggled to stand with the Z-sword still in hand. (Rhyme) It was still heavy, but he was getting used to the weight and was able to now wave it around awkwardly. "Hey, I think I figured out a way I could defeat Buu," he said breathlessly, still struggling to wave the sword around.
Kibito and the Supreme Kai perked up immediately. Their faces brightened with excitement. "REALLY? How?" they asked.
Jamie watched Gohan with an eyebrow raised as he continued to struggle with the sword. "Yeah, all I have to do it hand it to him and maybe he won't be able to lift it and it'll slow him down."
Jamie fell over. Her dress almost flipping over her head, and she started laughing at the faces that Kibito and Supreme Kai were now making. She held herself in a little ball as Gohan got scolded by Kibito who was turning red as he screamed at Gohan. "HOW DARE YOU JOKE ABOUT THAT DURING A TIME LIKE THIS?!"
"Hey come on lighten up on him. It was just a joke," Jamie intervened through her giggles.
"AND YOU TOO!" he said, pointing at Jamie now. "THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE JOKING WHEN WE HAVE MAJIN BUU DESTROYING THE EARTH AND SOON POSSIBLY THE UNIVERSE! NOW WE HAVE TWO DUMB TEENAGERS JOKING ABOUT, MAYBE THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SAVE US. AND THE ONE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO SAVE US CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE SWORD!"
Jamie blinked a few times, before her blue eyes narrowed. No one's ever yelled at me like that before. "DON'T YELL AT ME LIKE THAT! I DON'T EVEN NEED A STUPID SWORD TO DEFEAT THIS MAJIN BUU GUY!"
"YOU WOULDN'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST BUU. YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE GIRL."
"I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL, I'M A SAIYAN!"
The yelling match finally stopped along with time, it almost seemed like. Well everyone except for Gohan at least. He continued to wave the heavy sword around clumsily. He didn't seem fazed at all. "You're a Saiyan?" The Supreme Kai asked calmly.
Jamie rolled her eyes. If this guy is the "Supreme Kai", shouldn't he be able to sense these kinds of things? "Of course I'm a Saiyan. Why else would I have been able to restore Gohan's energy completely? And what do you think this tail is for...a fashion statement?" She waved her tail around to emphasize her point.
Kibito grunted, "You Saiyans are no match for Buu."
"Well then maybe you can try it."
They hadn't noticed that Gohan had stopped swinging his sword around. He was holding it out to Kibito. Kibito reached out to take the sword from Gohan, but when Gohan let go, it immediately fell to the ground with a big thump.
Everyone watched curiously as Kibito squatted down to try and pick up the sword. His effort was futile, however, as he stood up very anticlimactically not even being able to budge the sword after a long effort. He nervously tucked his hands behind his back and cleared his throat. "It's not that heavy," he mumbled.
Gohan stared with his mouth a little agape, "He couldn't even lift it."
Serves him right, Jamie thought with a little smirk. I think I wanna give it a try. The Supreme Kai and Gohan were too busy looking at the embarrassed Kibito to notice her walking up to the sword that lay heavily in the grass. Her dressed rustled along the grass even with her hands holding the sides up. With unnoticed effort, Jamie lifted the sword with her tiny hands and waved it around just as clumsily as Gohan. "Whoa, this is heavy," she said with an excited grin.
The other's finally noticed that Jamie now had the Z-sword in her hands. Gohan smiled as he watched the Saiyan teen struggle with the sword looking a little silly since she was wearing that big dress. Meanwhile the other two's faces could only read as being shocked. Their thoughts were identical. Who are these Saiyans?
Gohan walked over to Jamie causing her to stumble nervously under his gaze. "You're pretty good with that sword. Maybe you should be the one to wield it."
Jamie looked up at Gohan's face and blushed at the complement. She lowered the sword bashfully, "No, it's not my place Gohan. You're the one that pulled it out so you're the one who's supposed to use it." She held it out for him to take.
"No Jamie, I'm sure you could have pulled it out too if you had tried."
"Gohan just take it. It's yours," she insisted.
Gohan took put his hands on hers when he reached to take the sword, and smiled. "Why don't we take turns practicing with it?"
Jamie blushed nervously, her pulse racing under the warmth of the hands that covered hers. "O-ok, deal."
Just as they said, they both took turns practicing with the Z-sword. They improved incredibly fast; now both able to wield it with incredible speed. Jamie handed the sword back to Gohan after her turn and joined Kibito and the Supreme Kai that were watching Gohan's improved skills. Their faces were bright with impressed expressions. Gohan could now wield the sword at almost impossible speeds, at least almost impossible to keep up with.
But with one last swing their hearts all almost stopped. Gohan had been inches away from chopping off the head of a man that just appeared. The man screeched before jumping out of the way. "Ahh!" Some of his hairs were not lucky enough to escape the blade, however. "Whoa, that was close."
