Though the suffocation was doing a pretty good job impairing Videl's mental faculties, recognition was instant when Gohan dropped down in front of her and started dispatching the pirates. She opened her mouth to call to him, but the only thing that came forth was a wheeze.
With Gohan occupying the pirates, Videl could turn her attention the corset that was strangling her innards. Oxygen deprivation would make unlacing it no easy task, as her hands were quickly becoming more awkward and imprecise with each second.
A golden glow bloomed in the periphery of her vision and Videl's head shot back up, just in time to see the energy Gohan was gathering. Panic snapped through her; a blast like that would kill the captives. With all the remaining strength she could muster, Videl stumbled forward and grabbed one of Gohan's arms to interrupt him. "S..top...!" Her attempt to shout was barely more than a whisper.
