Alright so, since the reviews have been good I've decided to let everyone in on where the story is headed. My view on DBZ is the same as Akira Toriyama. He wanted Gohan as the hero but things really got screwed up(Don't even get me started on GT). I am going to try to make it from this saga(Saiyaman Saga), write a completely different saga to replace the WMAT saga, and end after the Buu saga. Long way right? Lets see if I can make it. I have a totally different story already written about the Buu saga, and I think Gohan fans will be pleased with it. I know I am. As for your question about who that girl was in the first chapter, it was no one important. Just another student. Any other questions, I will be glad to answer. I read all reviews and take notes. Without anymore of my rambling, here is chapter 4!
I Promise
Hey, Videl." Gohan said plainly.
Crap! I'm not ready for Gohan! I'm all dirty and grimy! What if Gohan thinks I don't shower? Wait. Why is he here?
Her panicky thoughts were interrupted by Gohan's figure walking towards her. He looked down at her, with sadness in his eyes.
"Look Videl, you don't have to say anything, but I wanted to say I was sorry for what I did. I hope I didn't hurt you. I don't know what came over me and you didn't deserve it. I've never lost control of myself like that, and I hope you can forgive me. If not, that's fine. I understand." Gohan hung his head as he turned around.
Videl was speechless. She didn't know what to say or do. Not after what had happened. Should she give him a piece of her mind for yelling at her, or should she apologize for what he did because of her? Her thoughts were again broken, but this time it was the door closing that did it. She quickly realized that Gohan had left and she hadn't said anything so she took off after him.
"Gohan wait!" She yelled after him.
Capsule Corp.
"Vegeta, spill it. What do you mean Gohan's mate?" Bulma questioned.
"Ha. Like you haven't noticed it too. Kakarot's brat found himself a mate."
"How do you know that?"
"Woman, when has Gohan ever harmed someone who was innocent?"
"Well true, but there's a first for everything. And Gohan didn't hurt her."
"He yelled at her, because part of the process is finding a mate who is strong. He was testing her."
"But he already knows she's a good fighter."
"He wasn't testing her physical abilities. He was testing her physiological abilities. Saiyans aren't attracted to those of weak mind."
"Aww. You're sweet." Bulma teased, giving Vegeta a kiss.
Satan Mansion
"Stop! Gohan!" Videl yelled out of breath. Gohan turned around, and part of him was glad that she had spoken to him again.
"Hey Videl." Gohan said happily.
"Don't 'Hey Videl' me. I don't need your pity. You got lucky back at school. I could have gotten out of that easily. I just never expected something like that out of you." Videl spat
"But I-" Gohan was cut off.
"I'm going to prove once and for all that I don't need you, and I can kick your ass Saiyaman. Follow me." Videl beckoned. Gohan was confused to say the least. Videl had led Gohan through a series of hallways and corridors. As to where they were going, Gohan had no clue, but apparently Videl was going to kick his ass.
"There are some uniforms over there." Videl pointed to her right. "Change, and meet me back out here." Videl demanded.
Gohan now knew she wanted to fight him. This was going to suck. He knew he couldn't lose on purpose, and he also didn't want to hurt her. I guess I'll just have to take it easy.
He walked out of the room he was changing in an noticed Videl was warming up in the corner, facing away from him. She heard the door click shut, and started to speak, still not looking at him.
"Took you long enough." Videl mocked. She quickly turned around, surprised to see what she saw. Gohan has muscles. She felt her cheeks flash red as she realized what she was doing. She was supposed to be furious at him right now.
"
The two entered the ring, and stood on opposites ends facing each other. Videl dropped into her stance.
*Beep Beep Beep*
Videl looked at her watch in disappointment.
"What is it chief?" Videl asked quickly
"Videl we need you to get to 4th Street bridge right now."
"I'm on my way!" Videl closed her communicator. "Where do you think you're going Saiyaman?" Videl caught Gohan trying to sneak off. "You heard the chief. Get your butt there now!" Videl ordered.
"Are you coming too?" Gohan asked.
"What's the matter? Saiyaman can't handle this alone?"
"Well, I didn't mean-."
"Fine. Lets go."
Videl and Gohan quickly changed, and flew to the scene of the crime together. Gohan was in his Saiyaman outfit flying along side of Videl who was flying in her jet copter. They approached the bridge and noticed that it was closed off and there was a small caravan that barricaded itself on the middle of the bridge, firing automatic weapons towards both ends of the bridge.
Videl and Gohan both landed on the end of the bridge where the police force, as well as national guardsmen, and military forces had set up a blockade on both ends of the bridges.
"Videl! Saiyaman! Thank goodness you're here!" Said the police chief.
"What's the situation, chief?" Videl asked
"11 men had infiltrated a government building and stole a cache of weapons, social security records, and military secrets. They escaped in 4 separate vans, but failed to make it across this bridge before we closed off the other side. They turned around to make it back, but before they could, we had the other side of the bridge blocked. They're sitting in the middle of the bridge in a military formation. Two vans sit parallel to each other with men taking cover behind them. They have automatic assault rifles, claymores, snipers in positions, and all of them are equipped with heavy Kevlar body armor. No casualties so far, but they have 5 international hostages of royal decent."
"What are their demands?" Videl questioned.
"They are requesting a fully fueled UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter to air evac them across international boarders. We have the chopper standing by, but its only as a last resort" The chief replied.
"That type of helicopter only fits about 11 people plus equipment. Judging from the payload that they received from the government building, it seems that they don't plan on taking any hostages with them." Gohan stated.
"Well then that's great!" Videl cheered.
"Not great. They don't plan on taking hostages with them, and I doubt they're gonna let them go. We have to act fast."
"What do you propose we do?" Videl asked.
"Stay here, I'm going alone."
"You're crazy! You heard the chief! They have automatic weapons and snipers all with military training! You may be strong, but you aren't bulletproof!" Videl yelled. Gohan refrained from chuckling. She wasn't going to let him go.
"Look we can argue about this all day, but unless I do something soon, people are going to die."
"I'm going then, too." Videl stated.
"Fine." Gohan didn't argue. There wasn't time. Besides, knowing her, she would probably run straight in. "But you're coming with me."
"Fine. Lets go." Videl said confidently. "How are we going to do this?"
"Simple. There's a weak point. We go in unseen with the element of surprise on our side."
"From the side?" Videl asked. Gohan grabbed Videl by the waist and lifted her as he took off. Catching Videl by surprise she let out a squeak, but didn't protest very much. She tried to hide her blush before she remembered peoples lives were at stake and this wasn't the time to get all giddy.
"From above." Gohan answered. "Chief. Signal the helicopter to move in!" Gohan yelled.
Gohan took off, but did not fly above the bridge. Instead he decided to hide under the bridge. Gohan knew these people had extensive military training, but didn't know if they had night vision, and he didn't want to risk compromising his plan of attack. Slowly he heard the thumping of rotor blades in the distance and could only assume that it was the helicopter moving in to evac the team.
"What are you waiting for? Go!" Videl whispered.
"Just a little longer." Gohan responded. He could hear the helicopter very clearly, and it was only about a half a mile away. Perfect. Gohan thought to himself.
Without warning Gohan blasted upwards on the south side of the bridge while the helicopter was approaching from the north side. The criminals had been too distracted by their false rescue to notice that Videl and the Great Saiyaman had just landed in the middle of their whole group, ready to save the day.
Videl wasn't going to waste any time with these thugs, and neither was Gohan. Almost as quickly as they landed 10 of the 11 members were unconscious and tied up while the leader was too distracted by the helicopter to notice.
"Good work boys! Mission accomplished!" The leader said enthusiastically. His celebrations were cut short when he heard a female voice behind him.
"Ahem." Videl coughed. The leader turned around only to have his face met with none other than the fist of daughter of Hercule Satan.
5 minutes later…
Lights of squad cars were flashing, and the chatter of men at work could be heard in the background. Gohan was dealing with the media while Videl was chatting with the chief and explaining what happened. After a quick interview about what had transpired, the reporters were satisfied with the information and left Gohan to find Videl. He spotted her a few seconds later talking with the chief.
"See ya, Chief." Videl said her goodbyes and turned around to see Gohan approaching. She gave him a smile which confused him. She wanted to tare his head off not even an hour ago.
"Hey Videl." Gohan said happily.
"Hey Go-Great Saiyaman." Videl caught herself. There was a moment of awkward silence between the two. Gohan wasn't sure what to say exactly. He wish he could understand women a lot better. Videl was at a struggle too. She wanted to thank him, but she also wanted to yell at him.
"I better get going." Videl said.
"Right. Me too. My moms probably gonna drill me when I get home."
"Don't get in too much trouble." Videl smiled.
Gohan smelled something. Something metallic. He furrowed his eyebrows to concentrate on where that familiar scent was coming from. That's when he saw it. He saw it dripping down Videl's right forearm. Blood. Apparently with everything going on, she hadn't realized she had been wounded. Gohan grabbed her hand, surprising Videl, but for some reason, she didn't let go. She stared at Gohan not knowing what he was going to do next.
"You're hurt." Gohan stated. Videl broke her trans-like state, and glanced down at her arm. Sure enough, there was a gash in her arm. Something had grazed her forearm deep enough to draw blood, but didn't go through the bone or anything.
"Oh. It's nothing. I'll be fine." Videl said, trying not to sound worried.
"It's not nothing. Come on, lets get you to a hospital." Gohan stated, leaving little room for argument. But what little room he left her, she took it.
"I said I'm fineah…" Videl trailed off feeling dizzy all of the sudden. Her adrenaline from the situation had worn off and she started to feel the pain in her arm, as well as her fatigue. Her legs wobbled, and she fell forward. Luckily Gohan was there to catch her, and this time he would get her to a hospital if he had to drag her there kicking and screaming. Gohan smiled. Not at her of course, but because of how stubborn she is. He quickly tore off a section off of his sleeve and wrapped her arm.
Gohan picked her up bridal style, and took off towards the nearest hospital. Videl didn't protest. She was barely conscious. She had been so tired and hadn't even realized it. It wasn't long before she spoke up.
"Gohan.." Videl said weakly.
"Shhhh. Save your strength. You're going to need it." Gohan replied softly as he glanced down at her.
Videl looked up into his obsidian eyes. "I just wanted.. To say thank you. For everything. And.. I'm sorry.. For what I did to you earlier.. I just.. Will you teach me to fly? Please?" Videl asked, drowsiness covering her voice.
"Sure."
"Promise?"
"I promise." Those were the last words spoken before Videl passed out completely.
Another chapter down. I hope this was good enough. It was fun to write. Kick ass huh? Any flaws in the story, please let me know. I hate plot holes, and I'm trying my best not to make any.
