Paths to Power and Secrets of the Omniverse (Part 3)

"I was just wondering how you're so strong with such a small Ki," Goku asked as she gathered herself.

"Of course, I'm a Kryptonian; we derive our powers from stars," she explained. Goku nodded in understanding.

"So you have another power source? That's awesome!" Goku exclaimed.

"Batgirl," Gohan caught her attention. "I have another master for you, but he is back in my home universe, so you will be coming with me," Gohan explained as Goku called out to Karen.

"Follow me!" He started floating before blasting off into the distance.

"Hey, wait!" Power Girl called out before mustering her resolve. Maybe this training would be fun. She quickly took off after Goku.

Barbara's eyes widened slightly. 'Wait does that mean I am going to another universe?' she wondered, this was definitely going to be some epic training. 

Gohan turned to Diana. "Would you like to join me back in my home universe? I'm going to visit my family," he explained. Diana was surprised but nodded.

"Of course," she agreed.

"While we're outside of this reality, I'll be postponing the broadcast to respect my family's privacy," Gohan explained. Diana had no issues with that; some privacy would be nice.

"I'll leave it to you, Vegeta," Gohan said as Vegeta nodded.

"How are Bardock and Raditz's training going?" Gohan asked Vermont, who smiled.

"They're progressing well. Perhaps Bardock might achieve Super Saiyan God soon," Vermont explained. Gohan nodded in approval.

"Alright! Let's join Beerus and Whis in the 7th," Gohan said before they vanished.

'Alright, time to teach them a thing or two,' Vegeta thought as he looked at Donna and Damian, a malicious grin spreading across his face, making Damian shudder again.

Goku and Karen landed. Goku sat down and crossed his legs, urging Karen to follow suit. "I heard you're really strong but you don't have access to your Ki," Goku started.

"I want you to forget about all the cool powers you get from your body, all the strength, all the speed, everything," Goku continued. Karen eyed him suspiciously before nodding.

"Take a normal deep breath, in through the nose, out through the mouth," Karen nodded.

"Close your eyes and relax. The first thing I want you to achieve is to clear your mind. I want you to be able to sit like that for at most three hours with not a single thought in your mind," Goku explained as her eyes widened.

How in the world would she clear her mind after everything that's happened? "I am only doing this because if you are going to feel your Ki, you need no distractions. Every time you feel like you're using the power you get from the sun, I want you to stop," Goku said.

"Otherwise, there would be no reason for me to train you," Goku explained. Karen couldn't believe her ears. To clear her mind? Not using her birthright abilities to advance? Perhaps she had gotten too used to instantly being able to develop her strength.

"As a martial artist, you should have some patience. The main reason is because you cannot force your Ki to move throughout your body. Sure, once you become a master at it, it will be as easy as breathing. But until then, frustration is your enemy," Goku explained. He had never really had to teach anyone who wasn't a prodigy Ki control before, but he was sure he could teach her the basics.

'Alright, Karen, you got this! Right?' She mused in silence.

Goku watched her before closing his eyes again to join her. Try as she might, Karen's super senses were still very sensitive, and it's not as if she had never meditated before either.

Vegeta, Donna, and Damian stood across from each other. "First things first, I want to know if you can fight?" Damian smirked and slid into a stance followed by Donna.

"Let's see what you have to offer?" Vegeta asked. "Of course, I'll hold back," 

Donna and Damian instantly charged forward. 'Good, no hesitation,' Vegeta thought. He dodged a straightforward blow from Donna as a smoke bomb covered his sight. Vegeta smirked and grabbed two Batarangs mid-air between his fingers before blocking Damian's kick. He quickly grabbed the leg and swung Damian into Donna, who flipped over his body.

She closed in and challenged Vegeta in a head-on brawl. Donna blocked and parried before leaning closer, about to capitalize on an opening before a fist knocked the wind from her chest, immobilizing her.

Damian attacked from behind, but Vegeta turned to the left, tripping Damian the moment he landed.

"Not bad, but just from that little exchange, I can tell I have a lot of work today," Vegeta said. He walked over to a rock and took a seat as Donna and Damian pulled themselves together.

Pointing at Donna, he said, "You have the speed, power, and agility to attack in many ways, yet you choose to attack from the front. A fair battle between two warriors is not always a guarantee. You also lack battle experience, which is to be expected. However, never leave yourself open to a devastating attack that could take you out for longer than a few seconds. If you see an opening that looks too good to be true, it most likely is. Again, you can only take those chances if you know that you won't be stopped once hit," Vegeta explained to her. Donna nodded as she coughed, still trying to fill her lungs with air.

It might have knocked the wind out of her, but she was brimming with excitement. None of the Amazons have ever truly baited her and punished her so brutally. While it hurt, she carved his words into her memory.

Damian made eye contact with Vegeta. "I think you had the most reasonable attack. You have a good foundation and seem to understand your limits. You also used the Amazon girl as decoys for your attacks and covered my vision during the fight to try and sneak an attack in. It might have worked if I couldn't sense where you were at any given moment," Vegeta explained as Damian listened.

"If you can sense where I am, then my sneak attacks will mean nothing in the future," Damian said, slightly irritated. He honed his fighting ability through dedication and understood the limits of what a human can do. After all, Bruce always lectured him on the fact that he only had one life and one body.
