Training and Fierce Battle

Chapter 34: Training and Fierce Battle

While Bardock and Majin Buu's breathtaking, heart-stopping battle raged on, the entire world seemed enveloped by an endless storm of energy. Suffocating waves of immense power crashed in every direction, twisting space beyond recognition as light and darkness intertwined. It was a terrifying sight, as if the apocalypse had arrived. Goku used Instant Transmission to appear before his family. His expression was grave and urgent, as though even a fraction of a second's delay could bring irreversible consequences.

"Kids, come with me!" Goku shouted, his voice filled with unquestionable urgency and unwavering resolve. The heavy seriousness of his expression bore down on them like a mountain, making the children instantly realize just how dire the situation had become. Their hearts tightened as if an invisible hand had seized them.

Although Sun Gohan, Sun Bra, Sun Goten, Sun Hao, Mai, and Trunks were taken aback by the sudden turn of events, they trusted Goku completely and held firmly to their belief in justice. Without the slightest hesitation, they hurried after him, like soldiers closely following their commander.

Goku whisked them to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at Kami's Lookout at breakneck speed, like a meteor streaking across the sky in an instant, leaving only a blurred trail of light behind.

The kids gazed at the mysterious place, their eyes full of curiosity and barely concealed nervousness. Unknown currents of power filled the air. It was as if countless eyes watched them from the shadows, and invisible hands gently brushed against their minds. Their hearts began to race of their own accord, like a rapid drumbeat.

"Dad, why did you bring us here?" Sun Goten asked, blinking his clear, wide eyes in confusion. His voice held a hint of childishness and unease. His innocent gaze revealed his fear of the unknown and his uncertainty about his father's decision.

Goku's expression was grave, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. He looked as serious as a general facing a life-or-death decision. "You need to train here and grow stronger so you can fight the incredibly powerful and utterly evil Majin Buu. This is our only way to protect the world, our families, and our friends. It's also our duty, and we can't shirk it."

Though the children were somewhat afraid, a glimmer of determination still shone deep in their eyes, like sparks in the darkness. They nodded together, their movements so synchronized that they seemed to solemnly declare their courage and resolve to fate, like warriors about to march into battle.

During their training, the children worked hard and kept pushing beyond their limits. Every training session was like a desperate struggle against a demon, and every drop of sweat carried their perseverance and hope, like a precious gem. They were drenched in sweat, their clothes soaked through and clinging to their bodies, but not one of them complained. Their unyielding determination was deeply moving, as immovable as steel.

Meanwhile, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Raditz, Launch, Bardock, Gine, Vegeta, Tights, the Bull Demon King, Dr. Brief, Mrs. Brief, and the others waited anxiously outside. Every minute and every second was agonizing for them.

"What was Goku thinking? Sending the kids to face such a dangerous enemy," Bulma said, frowning, her face full of confusion and worry. Her brows were knitted into deep furrows, her eyes filled with anxiety, and she kept twisting the hem of her clothes in her hands, as if she could wring all her worries away.

Chi-Chi was also full of worry. She clasped her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white from the pressure, faint veins showing beneath her skin. "I'm really worried about Gohan and the others. They're still so young. How can they handle this kind of pressure and danger?" Her voice trembled, close to tears. They welled in her eyes like crystal pearls, ready to fall at any moment.

Raditz tried to reassure her. "Don't worry too much. Goku must have thought this through. We have to trust him. He won't let the kids end up in a hopeless situation. I'm sure he has a thorough plan." His voice was firm, though he couldn't hide the trace of worry in his eyes. It hung over his heart like a shadow.

Bardock remained silent, his gaze fixed on the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. In his eyes were both deep concern, like a hand groping through darkness, and earnest hope for the children, like the first light before dawn. He clenched his fists, the muscles in his arms taut, as if silently cheering the children on and sending them strength.

Tights paced back and forth in a panic, her steps unsteady, like a fawn lost in the wilderness. "What are we going to do? I hope the kids will all be safe. If anything happens to them, I really don't know what I'll do."

The Bull Demon King spoke in a gruff voice. "I trust Goku's decision. The kids will be fine! Goku knows what he's doing. He wouldn't send them to their deaths for nothing." Although he tried to sound confident, his voice booming through the air like a bell, his furrowed brow betrayed his anxiety, like lightning hidden behind dark clouds.

Dr. Brief pushed up his glasses and said anxiously, "Let's hope so. This is truly nerve-racking. These children are all our hope. I hope they can get through this safely." His voice was low, as though weighed down by a heavy stone.

Mrs. Brief clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, praying silently. "May heaven protect them. Please let the children return safely." Her lips trembled slightly, as if she were pleading with the gods from the depths of her heart.

When the children finished training and emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, their eyes shone with confidence and resolve. They seemed transformed, no longer the same young kids they had been before. A hunger for battle burned in their eyes, and powerful energy radiated from them. Without hesitation, they charged straight at Majin Buu, their fearless posture brimming with determination and courage, like cannonballs fired from their barrels.

Sun Gohan attacked first. He unleashed the power of a Super Saiyan, moving like lightning as he instantly became a streak of golden light and charged at Majin Buu. Every punch carried enough force to destroy the heavens and the earth, making the air explode. Majin Buu had no choice but to take him seriously, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes.

Sun Bra used her nimble footwork to move rapidly around Majin Buu, her figure as elusive as a phantom. She searched for an opening, then suddenly launched a fierce kick, fast as lightning. Majin Buu was caught off guard, and his body swayed slightly.

Sun Goten unleashed a Kamehameha. A mighty wave of energy surged toward Majin Buu like a raging sea. Its light illuminated the entire battlefield, as if it would drive away all the darkness.

Sun Hao used the newly learned techniques of his fists to fight Majin Buu at close range. Every move was full of strength and skill, like a ferocious tiger charging down from the mountains.

Mai and Trunks worked together, one drawing Majin Buu's attention by dancing before him like a butterfly, keeping his gaze fixed on her, while the other seized the chance to attack, quick and deadly as a striking snake.

However, Majin Buu was powerful, and the children's individual attacks did little damage. He roared, an evil aura radiating from his body. The force of his counterattack put the children under immense pressure.

So they decided to fight him together.

"Everyone, attack together! Focus your power!" Sun Gohan shouted. His voice rang with authority and determination.

The children responded at once, combining their power into a mighty wave of energy. Its brilliant light dazzled like the sun. The wave surged toward Majin Buu, and space itself trembled beneath its force.

Majin Buu was astonished by the children's courage and strength. He had never expected the little brats he'd once dismissed as insignificant to possess such tremendous power and unwavering resolve. For the first time, his face turned grave.

After the battle ended, Goku appeared before everyone.

"Goku, why did you make the kids take such a risk?" the friends from the Dragon Ball World gathered around him and asked. Master Roshi stroked his white beard, confusion and concern in his eyes. "Goku, I have to admit, I can't quite understand what you were thinking." His voice carried the weariness of age and his concern for the children.

Tien Shinhan frowned, his expression stern, and challenged him. "Goku, the kids are still so young. How could you let them face that kind of danger?" His eyes showed how little he understood Goku's decision.

Yamcha looked anxiously at Goku, his eyes full of worry. "Goku, give us a reasonable explanation!" His voice was urgent, as if he were pacing over hot coals.

Goku took a deep breath to calm himself, then slowly explained, "Majin Buu's power is far greater than we imagined. If we don't unite every force we can, this world will be completely destroyed and plunged into endless darkness. The kids have enormous potential. They're our future and our hope. I believe that when the time comes, they'll be able to play a vital role and help protect the world. Besides, this training and battle will help them grow faster and become true warriors."

After hearing Goku's explanation, the others still felt worried, but they began to understand his good intentions. Bulma nodded thoughtfully. "Goku, maybe you're right. The kids really have surprised us. They've grown beyond our expectations."

Chi-Chi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice trembling slightly. "As long as they're safe, I'm willing to trust your decision, Goku. I hope they really can become strong enough to protect themselves and our world."

Everyone turned their eyes to the brave children once more, their hearts filled with hope and pride. They knew these children would become the mainstay of the world's future guardians, like brilliant stars lighting up the dark night sky.
