Videl and Vegeta

"Sigh..."

Videl hurriedly threw down the Dragon Balls in her hands, her petite body quickly dodging Vegeta's Energy Blast!

Boom!

The Energy Blast exploded, blasting out a huge crater. The Dragon Balls Videl had just thrown down fell into the crater.

"The Dragon Balls are mine!"

Vegeta had fallen into madness. Frieza and Piccolo's battle had made his desire for immortality even stronger. As long as he obtained the Dragon Balls and became immortal, he would no longer need to fear Frieza. Kakarot and Son Wuling would both fall beneath his feet.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, an Energy Blast shot toward him. Sensing danger, Vegeta flickered aside and dodged it! The Energy Blast landed on a distant hill.

The mountain crumbled apart! Vegeta turned around and saw Videl glaring at him furiously. She had fired that Energy Blast just now.

"You little brat!"

Vegeta's face nearly twisted from Videl's attack! He had never expected this five-year-old brat to dare fight back.

"Hmm, something's wrong..."

Only then did Vegeta notice something unusual about Videl. He could sense that her energy was incredibly strong, even somewhat greater than his own!

"Hmph... you big bad guy, you big idiot! You can never beat Son Goku, and you still have to serve Frieza!"

Videl's sing-song taunt pierced straight through Vegeta's heart like a sword.

"Y-you little brat, what did you say? I'll kill you! Aah..."

Vegeta gathered Energy Blasts in both palms. Using Prince's Battle Style, he launched a relentless barrage at Videl!

"Hmph... come at me if you've got the guts!"

Videl formed a Destructo Disc. Now that her strength had increased, she could gather it much faster! Like Son Wuling, she also loved this move.

Whoosh!

After throwing the Destructo Disc, Videl used Flight to soar into the sky.

Vegeta immediately took off as well, dodging the Destructo Disc as he charged toward Videl.

Bang!

Vegeta possessed more battle experience than Videl. Even after the Grand Elder had unlocked her energy, Videl was only somewhat stronger than Vegeta.

Videl knew that too, so!

When Vegeta's attack struck Videl, she had no intention of defending at all. She traded injury for injury and struck back at Vegeta.

Her childish fist hit Vegeta. She made no effort to defend, her stubborn eyes fixed fiercely upon him!

"You little brat, what exactly happened? That Namekian can actually fight Frieza now, and even a little brat like you can fight me."

Vegeta felt as though his mentality was about to explode. Son Wuling and Son Goku had already been like two enormous mountains crushing him down. Now Piccolo, along with this five-year-old little girl, could fight him too.

"You want to know? Keep dreaming. You can have anything you want in a dream! Also, my name is Videl. I'm Master Wuling's disciple. You big bad guy, you big idiot, go ask Frieza instead!"

After saying that, Videl formed another Destructo Disc! She threw it at Vegeta!

"That move again!"

Vegeta angrily gathered a light sphere. He opened with Energy Control, striking the edge of the Destructo Disc and knocking it away.

"Kame... hame... ha!"

Videl gathered energy in both palms, then unleashed a charged Kamehameha at Vegeta.

"Galick Gun!"

Vegeta did not evade at all. His Galick Gun collided with Videl's Kamehameha, and the clash of the two blasts stirred up violent waves.

Videl lacked experience, but through her reckless fight-by-injury, fight-by-life style, she had forced Vegeta into a miserable state. All his battle experience had nowhere to be used.

Suddenly, an enormous energy erupted. Vegeta and Videl froze for a moment, and even Piccolo, who was fighting Frieza, paused slightly.

"Th-this is Gohan!"

Joy immediately rose within Piccolo, though he remained locked in battle with Frieza's second form on the surface. Now that he had discarded his gravity training equipment, he had suppressed Frieza's second form throughout the fight. Still, his dust-covered appearance made him look somewhat battered.

Frieza did not look much better at the moment either. His second form had failed to defeat Piccolo, but...

"Aah... feel honored. You are the first person to witness this transformation of mine."

Frieza's energy swelled once more. He prepared to transform into his third form, his entire body changing. His head became enormous, making him look like an alien, while his strength surged several times over. Even Piccolo could not help feeling chilled.

"M-monster..."

At this moment, Son Gohan's latent power was unlocked by the Grand Elder!

"Th-this is Gohan's energy? It's so powerful! My turn, it's my turn!"

Son Goku excitedly stepped before the Grand Elder. "Grand Elder, please!"

The Grand Elder smiled and nodded, beginning to unlock Son Goku's latent power!

"Th-this is me?"

Son Gohan looked at his own hands, barely able to believe it. He was now worlds apart from before! His strength had increased severalfold!

"This is thanks to Son Wuling's Natural Energy. That energy filled with life is almost like the power of a god. I merely brought out the strength already hidden within you!"

The Grand Elder answered with a smile!

"A god?"

Son Wuling murmured softly. His first thought was of Super Saiyan God, then Beerus, the God of Destruction. He also thought of Ultra Instinct! The Grand Elder's words seemed to grant him a trace of enlightenment, as though he had found his direction.

Suddenly, Frieza's energy surged wildly, interrupting Son Wuling's thoughts. Even Son Goku opened his eyes in surprise.

"Gohan, hurry over there and help Piccolo!"

"Yes, Uncle Wuling!"

Son Gohan did not delay any longer. He vanished from sight in an instant. His power was even greater than Piccolo's had been before, and he seemed not much weaker than Frieza now!

"Videl..."

Sensing that Videl was still locked in combat with Vegeta, Son Wuling remained somewhat worried. Son Goku was still undergoing the unlocking process, while Piccolo had led Frieza far away.

"I'll go get the Dragon Balls! I'll be right back."

After leaving those words behind, Son Wuling immediately departed, flying toward the battlefield where Videl and Vegeta were fighting. He was still worried about Videl.

At this moment, Videl stubbornly kept Vegeta tied down. Her fight-by-life style had rendered Vegeta's battle experience completely useless.

"Y-you... you little girl! I-I'm the prince of the Saiyans! How could I possibly lose to you? Hand over the Dragon Balls right now!"

Vegeta's battle suit had already been torn to shreds, and Videl was no different. Her martial arts uniform was completely ruined, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Yet her clear eyes remained fixed upon Vegeta without yielding in the slightest.

"Hehe... no chance. I'm Master Wuling's disciple. I absolutely won't disappoint Master Wuling. Even if everything breaks here, I will never let a big bad guy like you obtain the Dragon Balls. You won't get a single one."
