Here's ch3

otogii: I know they gave up quickly, but they did the same when they thought that Buu had killed him

The Z fighters gathered at Capsule Corp to try and figure out what had happened to Gohan. The genius Bulma and her scientists had spent the last two days examining the area.

Bulma stepped forward with her findings, "I ran every test I could think of on the area where he was. There was a lot of radiation, latent energy, as well as a lot of static electricity, but the most unusual thing was a very high concentration of what we think is dark energy."

Krillin looked up at this statement, "Dark energy? I thought that was just a myth."

"So did we, but there were big inconsistencies in almost all of our readings, leading us to believe that there was something there that we could not detect." (A/N: this actually happens; scientists find weird readings and say its dark energy)

"it doesn't matter what you found"' Vegeta scoffed, "its obvious what happened: the brat tried to power up to much and destroyed himself."

At this, Chi Chi let out a wail from the corner where she had been crying on Goku's sholder.

"Vegeta! She lost her son! Be a little nicer", scolded Bulma, adding a glare for effect.

"I never said it wasn't a tragedy. Gohan was a true Saiyan warrior. His loss is one we all feel deeply."

The rest of the onlookers were shocked. Vegeta had not only complimented Gohan, but he said his name, something he had never done before.

Goku looked to Vegeta with gratitude, "Thank you Vegeta, that means a lot to me." Even Chi Chi smiled a little at this.

"He's not dead."

All present looked to the speaker, Videl.

"Videl, look," started Yamcha, "we all know…"

"No! You look! When everyone said Buu had killed Gohan, a said he hadn't! you said 'oh, we can't feel his energy, so he's dead' but he wasn't! I was right then, and I'm right now. He's alive somewhere, I know it."

"You think so Videl?" inquired the tiny Goten.

"I know so."

"Then let's find him", Bulma stated confidently.

"yeah!" replied several of the Z fighters.

As they began to discuss ways to find their beloved friend, something approached the Earth.

"With that little brat out of my way, my revenge is secured," the vile fiend muttered as he made his way through space toward Earth.
