Sacrifice for Love: Gohan

Gohan stood up to greet his grim faced father and his sullen looking prince. Upon Kami's lookout a power the likes of the world had never seen awaited Gohan, Goku and Vegeta. This warrior had given the three Saiyans one chance to save this world without innocence being hurt in the process. The three Saiyans now stood there silently, reminiscing over there lives and their loved ones. They all new that it was a fare chance they would not survive this but they had to try. The world had no one else.

Gohan ran through his head his entire life. Meeting his father's friends, training under Piccolo, fighting against Freeza, defeating Garlik Jr, training with his father, killing Cell, fighting Buu. He had lived an eventful life and he had always been surrounded by the people he loved most and those that loved him back. But he was caught on one moment: when he first met Videl. That day she was a harsh woman. But Gohan soon learnt that she was hiding it all inside. When he taught her to fly he saw a much sweeter side come out. And then during the time Buu was wreaking havoc he grew to love her. Now there were few things in his life that compared to the feeling he got just thinking about her, let alone being with her.

And now as he prepared to face his destiny one thought lingered in his mind: Will I ever see her again? The thought was the scariest thing he had ever faced. Freeza, Cell and Buu all seemed like child's play compared to dealing with this thought. As tears started to well in his eyes he felt a re-assuring hand fall on his shoulder. He turned to his father and weakly smiled. Then he felt a hand on his other shoulder. He turned to see Vegeta looking at him with a mixed look. Gohan could see he was confident, but afraid still. Gohan also saw a flicker of something else in his face. Pride. But not for himself, but for Gohan.

"We know how you feel son" said Goku. After that not a word was spoken. They slowly rose into the air and took off towards the lookout to fight for their loved ones, even if it meant their end.
