The kai averted his eyes as Gohan was quick to put his pants on. Gohan was giving a stammering apology, but the Kai interrupted "I'm the Supreme Kai and this is Kibito and this is the Scared world of the Kai's. This is a world that even the Grand Kai is not allowed to go to."

Kibito hissed "Because there was a fear that he would defile the place with his presence. I guess we don't need to worry about that anymore."

Videl who was not moving on account of her exhaustion and wounds scowled at the attended "If you were here to make your pitch and told us what's going on and maybe this won't happened."

"Sorry my master gave you mortal's too much credit that you won't give in to your lust the minute you were left alone."

"You mean 'twenty' or more by my count."

Supreme Kai clicked in tongue in frustration "Alright enough from both of you. The fate of the mortal realm is at stake, and I won't have you two arguing. Kibito heal our new friends and let's forget about this unpleasantness. Also, they are not dressed properly give them some proper clothes."

Kibito sighed and walked over to them. He healed Videl and her new clothes appeared. She was now dressed more like a kai. She had a grey vest and white alternative color. Gohan was then healed and given kai clothes. His was an orange vest with blue alternative.

The Supreme Kai finally looked at the two and Gohan bowed to him. Gohan far calmer now "I'm sorry and I'm thankful for you bring us here."

Supreme Kai bowed back "Your welcome. Now I brought you here because I need your help, Gohan. You have seen the power your sire now possesses. He has achieved this due to the aid of a princess of the demon realm. Her brother Dabura is the king of that realm. They are seeking to destabilize the natural order of things. The only way now I can figure that the balance can be restored if you beat Kakarrot. To beat him you must achieve divine ki. Now I tried to get you a better teacher, but he was in the middle of a month-long food festival in a different universe so we're on our own."

Gohan looked puzzled "A food festival?"

Supreme Kai sighed "Yes… well he said that since his master will be waking up in the near future, so he wanted to get the most out of his vacation. Now the best we got is the Z-sword it has mystical powers and you wielding might give you those powers."

Videl with obvious bile in her voice "So, a sword is going to beat a man who can blow up world and has demonic superpowers."

"Videl…"

She said with frustration "Fine! Far be for me to tell you how idiotic this sounds. That the most power being in the universe is going to be stopped by a piece of metal."

Kibito spatted out "What a shock the murderer and sadist mortal is also fool and a non-believer."

Videl chuckled "Won't argue with you on the murderer part big red but non-believer. Oh, I'm a believer, I'm a believer in the man that I've seen eat people on TV for most of my life is the toughest bastard alive. I also a believer that I've never seen either of you two saving the billions that he, I and the empire have killed over the years. I'm a believer that one of your friends cares so little for us that he's off on vacation, his boss is asleep and you're only getting involved because your opposites are making a power move. I'm a believer that big red here cares more about the fact we 'defiled' your clubhouse then our lives or anyone else's for that matter. I spent my entire life worshiping the unworthy and I ain't going to do that ever again. Gohan these guys don't know and don't care about what they're doing. We're better off with your mother."

Gohan was exasperated "Videl we…" He paused as the Supreme Kai bowed again and kneeled to the surprise of all present.

"I was once told by my elders that it is a wise and good Kai that admits his faults. I'm sorry to you and the rest of the universe at large. I've been absent from the worldly affairs of the universe for too long. My grip was too lite, I see that now. You have every right to be frustrated with me but understand me by the hour is late. I brought you to this place against all I have been taught because I will not see the light die under my watch. I plan to do everything I can to save these unique gems. I was not truly suited for this position. I doubt Daikaioh would have allowed all of this to go this far. It should have been one of them that made it, but I did. I did not slay Bibidi to allow the universe to die. Please stay, help me right this wrong and save those how are left."

Gohan smiled with soft eyes "There was no need for your apology, but I accept it anyways. I'm here because my mother and my real father believed in my people's freedom, liberty and love. To secure these things I would be glad to give up my life. Videl I know that you have been wronged but these men inaction was not the source of your injuries. You yourself are seeking a better world from your own part in this war. Would you keep them from writing this right when you want to yourself want to right your wrongs?"

Videl nodded in agreement "No… I suppose that would be hypocritical of me. I trust no god but you Gohan, I trust. You say this is the way then this is the way."

Gohan smiled and gave her a nod then turned back to the Supreme Kai "Show us to the sword please."

Trunks was angrily tapping his foot in the medbay. He was sitting there with his sword in his lap watching Erasa. He was cleaning his sword and found a fracture while doing so. He could not recall when it had happened during the battle, but he knew what it meant. The curved sword of his father was broken. It would fall apart next time he tried to use it. It was merely another thing that had been taken from him.

In a burst of rage, he stood up and threw the sword at the wall and stomped his foot. His eyes were red and bloodshot. In a rage filled silence he sat back into his seat still fuming.

A weak voice came from Erasa "Boy… and here I thought I had issues cutie." Her eyes opened as Trunks shot a glance at her.

Trunks nearly hissing "Mom said you won't be up for days."

"I suppose I'm still knocked out then, good to know"

Trunks nodded and said sarcastically "Oh that's real funny."

"You know I'm not one to talk, but I suggest angry management classes."

"Sure… I would suggest keeping your mouth shut murderer unless you want me to show you how angry I can get."

"Nah I like to play the odds. You're not going to kill me. Your morals will keep you from doing it." (Trunks stood up at that and walk over to her as she kept talking.) "High command was so right about you people. I helped kill the man that help raised you and all you can give me is idol threats. You don't have the balls to kill me." (Trunks hand came to her throat but didn't not squeeze and she continued to taunt him.) "Well then do it pussy or are you just going to let me get away with it."

Trunks exhaled then removed his had from her throat and when to her ear "Nice try but I'm not stupid." He walked back to his chair and sat down.

"So that's all you got for me? You know I bet Bill would be ashamed of how much of a coward you turned out to be."

Trunks sighed "Give it a rest. You're living whether you want to or not. All of you, imperials lack decency, but I have it and you're not taking from me."

"I'm escaping the moment I heal."

"No, you're not."

Erasa spat "Val-halla awaits me and you're keeping me from it."

"Oh, right that bullshit that your dear leader has been feeding you. You think that killing, and hurting people entitles you to anything?"

"My honor does."

"Right the true 'honor' that comes from burning planets, slaughtering children, kicking unarmed people to death. You have all the 'honor' lady of bandit and a serial killer. You can lie to yourself all you want but don't throw it at me, because I'll tell you the little fact that animals are better than you. At least when they kill it for food. You just kill because you like it."

"Our species needs room they are in the way."

"Your god blew up a good fourth of the planet. No one will live there ever again. Your god just wants to kill people and take things. Didn't your mom every tell you not to hurt people?"

"No. I don't remember much of them."

Trunks hesitantly said "Oh."

"I'm not a damn orphan if that's what you think. My parents were non-party members they had view against the party pre-revolution. So, when I was like three, I was taken from them and raised by the state. I can't say I'm unique millions are like me. I could have meet them when I grew older but that would be considered a mark on my record."

Trunks shook his head "Well your more screwed up then I thought. I lost my dad and every single day of my life there hasn't been a moment that I did want to see him again. You could see them both at any time and you chose this shit instead. That's a level of stupid that I can't even fathom."

"I'm as different from them as you are too me. Everyone has choices, theirs got them interned."

"Thinking ain't a choice it's a right no matter how much you people try to punch it out of people. Now let me ask you this I get you were all for killing Videl for treason but why didn't you go kill you parents?"

"Because it was already decided…"

"No that's not what I mean. Your god hates traitors you hate traitors your parents thoughts are treason so why didn't you kill'em?" (To that she had no response.) "Well great you finally shut up. Maybe you'll even start to think for yourself for a change too."

Romulus arrived in the throne room. He was not wearing his typical attire. The armor had been too badly damaged. He had no helmet on him. The armor he wore was that of a drab grey regular officers' suit. He had the handled trident on his chest in black with a white circle however with a cape mirroring the front.

At first, he noticed that no one else was here but himself along with Livy, Cyan, and the demon sorcerous next to his father atop his throne.

Cyan was not looking his same cool assured self. He looked a bit shaken. Either about his father, his traitor sister or something else.

Livy said to him "We have a traitor in our midst brother."

Romulus snidely said, "You don't say."

"Don't pretend that you know what's going on brother."

"Dr. Briefs magically knew about our plan and was there to warn them. One would be quick to name Videl but that doesn't explain it. This is not the first time this has happen or the tenth. All of which Videl won't have been privy too, also there is the little fact that Videl was with her father the entire trip and couldn't have leaked it. Someone in the high command gave them the tip off not her."

Livy smirked "So fighting isn't your strong suit, it figures considering how weak you are."

Romulus stared daggers at her but before choice words could been thrown around, Kakarrot loudly yawed "This bickering is getting boring you two. If you want to do it, do it on your own time. I could be fucking, eating or sparing right now or all three at once and this isn't any of those things. Romulus you are correct. Livy already has a plan in place to deal with this. My wife is a vengeful woman. He is over…" (He picked up a skull that had signs of a scrapes at one of the eye sockets. It was obviously Bill's, Romulus founded himself cringing a bit at its sight.) "…But she is not. Dr. Briefs and this revelation will no doubt inspire her to seek this traitor out to lead the Resistance into open rebellion. Which is what we want of course but still traitors need to be dealt with. Chi-Chi is a smart woman, a good fighter and is very determined, but I always have that woman's number. You could even say were on the same wavelength. Blood demands blood."

Livy nodded "Exactly we will be sending the family to meet with nearly every one of our allies. They will pack lite and give them a chance to strike a blow at us. Only some commanders will be told certain things. They will think its last-minute prep for the offensive but in reality, just way of ferreting out the traitor. At which time we will eliminate him and pose as him to lure them in to a trap. Cyan will go and make sure that the Mandalore of Mandalore is on for the plan. We will make it seem like he is to defect."

Romulus questioned "This is all well and good but what of my people?"

Livy smirked "The cyborgs were requested by grandfather. A long-term project is about to be ready, and he needed them back for it. In their place you'll be given 13, 14 and 15, fresh off their success on Gaela four. You'll stay on the planet and we'll send for you when we need you."

Romulus noticed his sister tail was twisting on her hips. She had few tells but this must have made her close to orgasm. His gaze turned to his father for such an eccentric seeming man the truth was that man had mysteries and goals. One would not think that a man that drank wine often from skulls collected from men he had eaten himself would be a man hard to read but you would be wrong.

The game his sister spoke of was his game from the start. Romulus knew this well and true. He knew that he was but a piece on the board. A piece that might have truly lost favor.

Romulus heiled to his father then turned on his heel and march out of the throne room only to find the figure of Noj waiting for him who heiled him then walked beside him.

"Such a stroke of bad luck my Prince it would seem that you're on the fist of your father as you were before."

"It is no concern of yours degenerate and you shouldn't know of what was spoken."

"My Prince this the seat of ultimate power in this universe, everything spoke here is heard and known to those how truly listen. But don't fret my prince, my dreams still see you up there on that throne all in white."

"Someone should have killed you long ago."

"My stepmother threw me in a river and once tried to poison me. I simply learn to swim and didn't not drink the juice. My mother's people called it the 'sight'. A gift from my old gods. My mother came to worship a new god and his children as I do. There is going to be a lot more of your name ruling after you my prince. The moment will come, and you will see who you truly are my prince. In that moment you will know your place that fate has devised for you. You are doomed my prince to be yourself whether you want to or not."

Romulus "Remove yourself from my presence or I'll cut your head off."

Noj bowed to him and left Romulus alone with his thoughts. Romulus got a chill down his spine as he felt the truth that the creature had just spoken to him.

Gohan and the other landed next to the spot where the Z-sword lay. Gohan examined it as Supreme Kai explain.

"The sword is far older than I or even the Kai's before me. Not even the strongest have been able to nudge it."

Kibito hissed "Which is why this is a waste of time. Master if the Kai's can't move it then surely this mortal will not be deemed worth and rejected."

Videl spat back "Said by the man that has not even seen a Super Saiyan. For an angel or whatever you are you certainly lack faith. Don't you worry Gohan will pull the sword here from this stone and I'll guess this'll mean he's the King of England or something, whatever this magic crap will do."

Gohan scratched his face and blushed "Geez I didn't realize you had that much faith in me Videl."

"Sure I do. Now hurry up and prove me right."

Gohan placed his hands on the ancient hilt of the sword. It felt like he was holding on to the weight of a planet. He gained a firm grip and started to pull in base form. He was pulling with all his might but nothing was happening.

"See this was a waste of time."

Gohan then became a Super Saiyan and then promptly and without much effort pulled it from the stone to the amazement of Kibito and the Kai.

Videl merely grinned and stated, "I guess that makes him the one true king."
