Goku and Vegeta shared a nod of understanding. They may not understand the power they were dealing with, but they knew the world was counting on them to contain its impact.
Vegeta: We'll need to act fast. If even a fraction of that energy spills out.... it could be catastrophic.
The two Saiyans shot forward, their hands closing around the cracking cocoon. With a single heave, they forced the fissures together, holding the cocoon in a vise grip.
Goku: Can't I just use the power of my spirit ball to glue the cracks together? *The Saiyan asked.*
King Kai: *His voice was solemn.* This energy goes far beyond your spirit ball, Goku. This force... it's like trying to hold back the ocean with a single bucket.
The fissures were closing bit by bit, the cocoon straining against their grasp.
Vegeta: Use your head, Kakerot, your brain doesn't sit in your hands! *Vegeta spat.*
Goku: *He grimaced, straining against the pressure.* I am! I just—I'm trying to think of a way to contain it instead of simply holding the damn thing in place!
Vegeta: Yoh, blue bug, is there anything else that we could do? Wouldn't it be easier containable if Kakerot and I fuse in our strongest forms? *Vegeta asked despately.*
King Kai: *His voice was grim.* It's an idea. But even Ultra Ego and Ultra Instinct may not be enough to contain this force. The pressure is increasing with every second that passes. Your forms could accelerate the situation... and potentially cause the cocoon to erupt faster than anticipated.
Goku: Damned! *Goku cursed.* What about more hands to help maintaining pressure, or is this energy harmful to the z-fighters?
King Kai: *He hesitated for a moment, mulling over the risk.* More hands could help distribute the pressure, yes... but the energy is beyond dangerous. If anyone else touches it, they could be consumed. It's too risky.
Vegeta: How about only a few more hands, those of Trunks and Kakerot's other brat? *Vegeta added, trying something else.*
King Kai: *His voice was still heavy with concern.* Alright. A few more hands to help distribute pressure should be manageable. But they have to exercise extreme caution. One wrong move and the entire thing could blow.
