Super Dragon Ball: Paradise Hysteria

When It Rains

Videl thrust both her hands out, expelling a large droplet-shaped Ki blast from her palms. The Ghost Warrior leaned to the side and avoided the incoming blast before reaching out toward Videl with his elongated arm. While it secured a lock on the teen's face, a painful flash stunned Slug in place and surrounded him with rubble. The Ki blast Videl had flung earlier had changed direction and slammed right into Slug's exposed back.

With the Destron Gas construct staggering out from the wall of smoke, coughing up more by the mouthful, Videl moved her arms gently around her body, forming two more identical copies of the homing Ki blast she performed earlier and letting Slug have them one at a time. The Ghost Warrior turned and flipped to catch the gracefully maneuvering Ki blasts with a backhand or a kick and deflect them, but Videl clenched her open palms into fists and moved them with controlling gestures, navigating her attacks around Slug's defenses and aiming for his blind spots.

While the teenager had no proper sparring partner to test her new moves against, except her imaginary foes, she could have never even dreamed of mere Ki blasts being as effective against an opponent as skilled as Lord Slug. They'd have packed an even grander wallop still, had her opponent a conventional Ki circulation system which would've allowed Videl to home her attacks directly toward the weak spots where their Ki defenses were the shoddiest.

Trunks swooped down with a diving kick from the side, knocking Slug away. Though when the furious boy pursued his opponent in mid-air, the Ghost Warrior navigated around Trunks' rage-driven power blows. It came with enough effort though, as Videl caught the feeling of her opponent panting with hefty breaths. Instead of responding with something dangerous, Slug threw a punch to Trunks' gut and then turned around with a backhand slam. Trunks moved out of the way of the shoddy attack, but the resulting gale that came as an aftereffect and likely the intended method of attack with this motion blew him rolling aside.

"This guy's stronger than the last one," Trunks noted. "I'm just glad you're keeping up with him, somehow. I don't think I would've been able to hold him off by myself while mom's drone did its thing."

"Don't worry, I haven't even begun to show everything I've learned," Videl winked at her little companion's side. "This time, you can leave the heavy lifting to me."

Slug's mean grimace of heavy breathing shifted to a malevolent show of sharp fangs as he lifted the index fingers of both hands and pointed them at Videl and Trunks. Sparkling crackles of energy lit up around the fingertips and beamed off toward both martial artists in the shape of yellow finger beams. Videl dashed in front of Trunks, feeling her Ki skillfully navigating to her hand as she smacked the finger beams left and right with her empowered right hand.

Instead of letting himself be caught off-guard, Trunks rushed out from behind Videl's back and went at Lord Slug, thinking him defenseless with both his arms occupied with recovery after his finger beam move. With the Ghost Warrior's eyes blinking with yellow light, the boy was proven wrong, though he flew up and spread his legs to dodge the resulting eye beams. With the eye beams having bought Slug some more time, both the tyrant's fingers and his eyes began blasting wild barrages of eye and finger beams in all directions, hoping to fry either of his opponents.

Trunks clamored out with pent-up fury, expelling a mighty explosive wave from his entire body that took the brunt force of all the incoming energy beams while flashing Slug with enough light to make him flinch while the concussive shockwave of the explosive wave made the Ghost Warrior stagger on his back foot.

"He's defenseless now!" Videl stated the obvious while moving in for the assault and battery. Her body burst with a radiant energy aura while her fists let loose upon her opponent. Slug raised his hands and absorbed the flurry of fists. The teen's knee caught him slacking and made him stagger back while cracking his space traveler's helmet. With the helmet shattering and exposing Slug's withered face, the antennae of the Super Namekian became free to whip at Videl and catch her in an electrical field that made her grunt in pain and locked her in place.
