"Triple Threat 2: Attack from the Past"
Chapter 2: "A Three Person Battle"
"Turles?" Bulma gasped. "I know that name!"
"I think he was the who made me look at the moon and transform into a giant ape. Icarus helped me go back to normal." Gohan said.
"Giant ape?" Videl asked.
"Yeah, Saiyans with tails who look at the moon do that."
Suddenly, Chichi's voice yelled from the other side of the door. "Gohan, Videl, are you two in there!"
Gohan sighed. "Yes, mom. We didn't go straight home because we got stopped by Turles."
"As the door creaked open, Chichi's face paled. "Turles? Are you OK? Did he hurt you?"
"I made him unable to fight, but his human girlfriend dragged him off. She actually survived one of my energy blasts, which no human has done before."
"Turles." Vegeta said the name as if it was poison.
"Vegeta... So it is true. I heard that you betrayed Frieza and joined up with Kakkarot's gang of humans. You shouldn't even be called a Saiyan warrior anymore."
Vegeta growled and Chichi hurried inside. Gohan told the others to get back to safety.
Turles ignored Vegeta's silent protests and turned to Gohan. "So, Gohan, how is you father? I want to see him."
"He's not here." Gohan kept up his guard just in case Turles decided to attack.
"Really? So he knew I was coming and ran away. What a coward."
"He's not a coward!" Gohan powered up and flew out the door. "If you want to fight, come down here and fight me."
"I don't want to fight you. I want to fight Kakkarot. I'll just wait here until he comes."
----------
"Who's Kakkarot?" Videl whispered.
"Goku's Saiyan name." Bulma answered. "I thought Gohan told you about the Saiyans."
"He told me about what happened to him and about the the other Saiyans. He didn't tell me about that. I guess he forgot. But Goku died at the Cell Games. Doesn't Turles know that?"
"I guess not."
----------
"Turles, you're going down!" Vegeta yelled and blasted into the air outside. "I'm still a Saiyan, whether you care or not. Let's see if my Galick Gun changes your mind."
Turles shot his own energy wave that cut through Vegeta's. He frowned disapprovingly. "You've gotten weaker over the years, Vegeta. You're a disgrace."
"Kamehameha!"
Turles vanished from where he was and reppeared behind Gohan. "Missed me."
"Huh?" Gohan turned around, but was too late. Turles kicked Gohan to the ground.
Vegeta flew up to Turles and started punching him but they had no effect.
"That tickles. How's this? Light Bomb!"
"Wha-?" An extremely fast energy blast hit Vegeta in the back and Turles puched him in the stomach.
Gohan took the opportunity to attack, but Turles stopped him. He punched Gohan into the ground. Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan to break the fall. "You can't defeat us that easily!"
"There is no us, boy." Vegeta stood up, rebounding from the Saiyan's attack. "I'll be the one to defeat him."
"If anyone defeats me, it'll be Kakkarot. That's the only one I want to fight." Turles said. "Not you weaklings. Until me meet again."
"Wait!" Gohan yelled, but it was too late. Turles was already gone.
"I'll destroy him next time." Vegeta flew to the door.
Gohan walked beside him. "You can come out now. He's gone."
"But why does he want Goku?" Bulma wondered outloud.
"I don't know." Gohan stomped his foot in frustration. "Dad's dead. And Turles is stronger than our three previous enemies."
"You can do it, Gohan." Videl said and squeezed his right hand for support. "You've done it before."
"Videl's right. You're not a normal human." Bulma added.
"I can help, too, Gohan."
Gohan turned directly toward her with a frown. "Absolutely not, Videl. Remember what happened last time you tried to help?"
"Yeah, but if I didn't, we would have never gotten together. Atleast, not like this, and we wouldn't have such... unique memories to share. I mean, what other girl can say she was kidnapped by an alien and almost got fried by an electric cage?"
"None that I know of. But still, the answer is no. I don't want your life on the line again."
Their conversation was interrupted by the police chief's frantic cries on Videl's communicator. "Videl! Come quick! If I knew where Saiyaman was, I'd contact him, too." Gunshots could be heard in the background. The chief grunted. "Grab your partner and help us out."
Videl grinned. "Sure thing. I'll get Saiyaman." She looked at Gohan. "Finally, we're not just called sidekicks."
