The Story thus far



Dad, father, hero, daddy, old man, pops, so many names we call our fathers. And yet no matter how old he gets or godforbid, how fat he gets. Fathers are big role models in our lives, I'm not saying a mother isn't a role model. But growing up with my father. I learned that he was more of a person to look up to, a man to strive and be like. A wealth of knowledge lives inside your dad, passing that world to you. Fathers are greatly respected men.

And as we all know growing up as a child we imitate our parents, trying to do the jobs they do, live their lives, cook their meals, even dress like them. But of all the things a father brings out of us, the biggest one is respect. Men and women have died, striving to impress their fathers and earn his blessings. Striving every ounce of your heart and soul to get his approval, his respect. Make the honor roll, learn to fight, succeed jobs, we do so much for them.

But a father or not he is still human, which means he makes mistakes. And after this tale is told, you will see just how dangerous a father's sins can be. Sadly though Gohan has lost his dad for 7 years. When Goku died a world of secrets fell into Gohan's lap. Now traditional hiding the Z fighters identity continues, but how can it withstand the pushing, growing power of love? Gohan is walking home from school with Videl, talking innocently....for now.

"Hey Gohan can I ask you something?" Gohan smiled at his lovely girlfriend Videl, kissing her soft skinned cheek making her blush. "Of course you can Videl that's what boyfriends are for" Gohan laughed, Videl did too smiling. Their feet clicked the sidewalk as the sun shined happily down upon them, walking as if they didn't have a care in the world. Free to be happy at last. "Gohan whatever happened to your dad?" the world just crashed and died.

The young Sayian's eyes widened with an icy blue color chilling his face, Gohan had been holding it for so long. Trying to forget the painful thoughts. "Gohan?" Videl asked puzzled, as she noticed he wasn't walking anymore. She turned her black haired head around gasping as she saw his face, "Gohan good Kami what's wrong?" Gohan suddenly realized the danger. He immediately he shook his eyes clean, wiping away the painful memories.

Flashback*

"Gohan I'm so proud of you" Goku said smiling as he approached Cell, pressing 2 fingers to his forehead smiling to his son. Gohan screamed out. "Daddy no" Goku looked at him with a smile and simply said "Good-bye my son," suddenly Goku flashed away with Cell. Gohan screamed out in tears.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

"Gah uh nothing's wrong Videl" Gohan laughed weakly, ruffling his short black hair. Putting on a false face for Videl, who crossed her arms suspiciously at his false smiles. "Really I'm fine it's just well" Gohan gulped and sweated furiously, he had to think up something, anything, "Well?" Videl asked impatiently. "Uh look I never really had a lot of time with my dad, you see he was gone a lot and," Videl shook her head & sighed patting his back.

"Say no more Gohan I totally understand you" the 2 continued to walk down, Gohan continued scratching his black hair in confusion as he asked Videl. "UH you do?" "Of course your dad was gone a lot, never got to know him well, bet he'd fly out of there and fight the biggest weirdo around huh" she chuckled. Gohan laughed again weakly of course, sweat dropping as he agreed. "Yeah something like that" Gohan said nervously, sighing with relief.

Gohan's thoughts

JEEZ if she only KNEW! She has no idea of the stuff that has been going on under her nose, matter of fact everyone's noses. But I can't let her know what really happened at the Cell games. I promised to dad I wouldn't. Sigh* I just hate putting Videl in the dark like that though, it's not right...

Videl turned her beautiful blue eyes to Gohan asking, "What's not right?" Gohan gulped and almost squeaked at the realization that he said it loudly. "Uh say what now?" Videl looked at him crossingly saying "Calm down Gohan, I just want to know what you meant by saying "It's not right." Gohan slapped his face smiling "Well I was thinking about your dad Mr. Satan, and I agree with you on what you meant about having a walk out father" he said.

Videl smiled looking bashfully up to Gohan as they approached his house, she cuddled her black haired head to his shoulder. "You really think so?" she said softly smiling as Gohan continued, "Well yeah it's not a good life to live. Not saying your life was bad or anything but dads should always be there, they should always be around when you need them" Videl nodded. "I totally agree Gohan my dad just is too blinded by his stupid ass ego," she said.

Gohan smiled and turned his eyes to hers warmly grinning, "But no matter what Videl your not your dad, you never will be, your so much better." Videl hugged him tightly and kissed his lips, embracing his sweet love. The fruit of their kiss of love, tasted sweeter then life itself each time they kissed. No dragon ball wish, or gift from the heavens can compare to the gift of love. "EW cooties, cooties" both Gohan & Videl broke away blushing.

Turning to Gohan's open door with Goten making faces, and yelling cooties at their kissing "Bleach" "WHY YOU LITTLE" Goten laughed and ran inside. Gohan growled angrily and chased after him, pushing open the door running in. "AHHH MOM HE'S GOT ME" Goten whaled, Videl laughed hearing their playful fighting from the windows. Gohan yelled out to her "TAKE THAT, oh bye Videl love you" "Love you too" Videl shouted back.

Before she left Videl snapped her fingers and turned her green shoes around, shouting back "Don't forget that school play assignment it's mandatory." Gohan stuck his head out the window "I remember tomorrow night, at 7:30 sharp see ya then" Gohan called out before zipping back in. Videl then left. Happily flying home spreading her arms out in the open wind, smiling brightly. "Boy this flying sure feels better then in that chopper" Videl said.

Softly landing with perfect ease and grace after all, "Gohan trained me well" Videl thought to herself as she opened the door and kicked her boots off. Immediately Mr. Satan bolted down the stairs frantically shaking Videl, "OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? PLEASE SPEAK." Videl groaned and pried her father's arms off her, brushing herself off. "Yes father I am fine just as I always am from school" she angrily closed her eyes.

Walking up to her room groaning, annoyed at her father's immense protection. Ever since she went with Gohan to that dance with that psycho hook guy, he's been like this. Videl rolled her blue eyes as her father opened the door, raising a finger. She started before he did "I already know what your gonna say, and no I didn't have sex, not drinking, or smoking, or getting high, or got any weird calls." Mr. Satan bit his lip, scratching his hairy chin.

Mr. Satan's thoughts

BLAH What am I gonna do? I can't keep this from her, but I already told her everything and she doesn't believe me. I can't stop her from going to school, she'd hate me for life. But then again that...that...NUT CASE is out there, whoever kept calling me a few weeks ago. Oh my little Videl....

Mr. Satan opened her door all the way and growled, stomping his foot down with a serious tone. "Now Videl I am your father and you will respect my wishes, I have nothing against Guten" Videl angrily snapped back "Gohan." The false champ growled and shook his black haired head in rage, "Whatever it's not about him but I can't let you go out at night, It's just NOT SAFE." Videl slammed her hair brush onto her nightstand and huffed, "Am I weak?".

Mr. Satan slapped his face again groaning "Oh not again," Videl stomped up to him and pointed at his nose angrily. "Is this another stupid training thing dad is that it? Am I not strong enough? Does that mean I have to sit at home doing NOTHING?" Videl yelled. Panicking backwards Mr. Satan dropped outside her room, watching her hiss ice cold eyes at him. "NO honey sweetheart that's not what I meant," Videl ignored him crossing her arms.

She turned and slammed the door shut locking it, Satan gasped and hammered on the door frantically yelling. "VIDEL PLEASE open up just listen to me, just don't go outside tomorrow night it's dangerous" she ignored him still. Mr. Satan bulged veins as spit flew from his frantic words, "YOU GOTTA LISTEN THERE'S A MANIAC AFTER US VIDEL" Mr. Satan whimpered. Still hammering, yelling, even begging on his knees to Videl.

Totally unaware of the dangerous truth to her father word's, Videl and Gohan would both suffer the pains of loss later on. As the menace continues to grow, darkly secluded in an abandoned old cabin far up in the country air mountains. The same being who sent the murderous, Blaggard to assassinate Videl. The same being who called Mr. Satan's house, harassing him with threats. The being known as Mr. Blue, staring weary eyes at the window.

Breathing heavily in his weak condition, shadowed body. Laying against a thick wooden chair, beside a steel table littered with chemical tubes/wires. Hundreds of electrical plugs and sockets, oozing energies, toxic chemicals, & bizarre liquid formations into the black body of the mysterious Mr. Blue. Tubes connected to his body like spider webs pumped the vile substances in, the mutant monster of man called a weak yet deep dark voice to someone.

"Dr. Jefchak" the voice called, immediately a frantic man in a white lab coat appeared before the black man. His brown hair was short and almost looked like a rug, spiked edges litter his almost balding head as he shook in fear. "Gulp* yes y-y-y-you c-c-called Mr. Blue?" Dr. Jefchak asked nervously, his glasses trembling in his shaking hands gasped at the panting shadowed man. "I've been in this disgusting set up for 7 and a half years" Mr. Blue shouted.

The inhuman tone in his raging voice only made the doctor feel more dead inside, Mr. Blue's dark pink eyes glare at the doctor as he continued talking. "Am I done yet?" nervously Dr. Jefchak nodded yes, watching Mr. Blue instantly ripped off the wires and tubes connecting to his body like a beast. The shadow covered claw like hands rubbed along his body and his face, suddenly the claws stopped at the face. A gasp of horror escaped Mr. Blue.

"What, what the hell is this? Doctor talk NOW tell me it now, WHY AREN'T THE GOD DAMNED STITCHES GONE?" the monstrous voice shattered glass. Every window, mirror, test tube, clock, and glass device broke from the man's cries of rage. Dr. Jefchak fumbled his hands trying to explain "But Mr. Blue I'm a crappy doctor, you know that when you hired me long ago. I mean I flunked surgery they never talked about" suddenly his voice died out.

The odd sound of choking and gargling echoed from the dry throat of Dr. Jefchak, his eyes widened and turning whiter then paper as he was silent. Immediately dropping to the floor with blood oozing out of his chest, 2 large holes dripped blood from his chest and back. Mr. Blue's pink eyes smoked. "That's not the answer I wanted to hear, WITCH, a female voice huffed a puff of smoke from behind Mr. Blue. A seductive shadowed figure entered.

The jade green eyes of the beautiful woman, glared through the smoke rings her cigarette blew. She spat out her smoke through pursed light purple lips, "What the hell do you want now?" she said grouchily towards Mr. Blue. "I want you to take this pile of trash outside and dump it down the mountains, and get yourself ready for tomorrow night" Mr. Blue ordered the dark lady. The girl walked forward, long purple spandex covered her slender sexy legs.

Green finger nail colored hands grasped the dead doctor, dragging him towards the back as she asked "Why what's happening tomorrow night?". Mr. Blue grinned a twisted smile "A party that were going to crash my sweet dear, and visit some old friends of mine it'll make the evening totally perfect." The girl huffed sticking her hip out filing her green nails, "Perfect or not we have a deal & I want those kids" she replied. Mr. Blue growled back.

"Gohan and Videl are MY BUSINESS this is totally personal on my part, your just here because of their reputation" he shouted. "And the food" she grinned evilly licking her green lips, as she headed back outside to be alone. Leaving Mr. Blue alone to laugh and cackle maniacally to himself, "That's right you stupid little fools enjoy the precious little time you have for now. For tomorrow night the world will suffer for disgracing MY FAMILY!".
