Chapter 10: Videl's a what!

Note: I kept having to go through this chapter and change some things. I'm not sure on how solid this is, but I tried, so Enjoy.

It was evening time, there were dark clouds in the sky, a sure sign of rain. That didn't keep anyone at the Son residents down. The lights were on, steam rising out of the chimney, there was a sort of celebration inside. After nearly 40 years, Goku's father is alive, and spending time at his son's house. He was preparing to explain why he had his life back, but wanted to wait for a little while, so not to be rude. He ate dinner with Goku, Gohan, Videl, Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, and Chi Chi, and was amazed by how much more food that the his Son and Grandsons could consume.

"And I thought my appetite was big." Said Bardock.

"Trust me," Said Vegeta "You haven't seen anything yet." Bardock nodded and looked back, he saw stack after stack of dishes on the table.

"Wow! That was incredible!" Said Goku. Gohan and Goten nodded at this statement and finished up their last bowls of soup.

"So Bardock, this is the first time you've been on Earth, what do you think so far?" Asked Chi Chi.

"Well." Replied Bardock. "It's quite a change. A blue sky, unlike Planet Vegeta's red sky. It does have similar cloud formations though."

"So Dad, you said you have a reason for being alive." Goku said in his serious tone. Bardock nodded. "Want to explain it to us?"

"Yes Bardock, surely there is an explanation, and we're all dying to hear it." Said Vegeta.

Bardock was silent. Everyone watched him. "Well, It's been a while, maybe I should let someone else explain." Just then, a short lady on a crystal ball appeared, it was Fortuneteller Baba.

"Hey, Baba!" Said Goku.

"Hello Goku, how are you enjoying life?" Replied Baba.

"It's good. A few problems here and there, but over all, life is good."

"Well, that's good to know." She began scanning the room. "Why hello there Goten... and Trunks... Nice to see you Chi Chi... Well if it isn't Prince Vegeta, good to see you too... Gohan, oh how you've grown up... is that you Videl?" Baba stopped. Videl looked at her in disbelief. "I almost didn't recognize you, how are you?"

"You... know... me?" Videl said.

"Yes actually, I was just visiting your father, we had a lovely conversation. I just hope Buu stops eating his furniture." The group laughed together. "Listen, I know you're wondering how I know you, and I'll get to that shortly, but first, I have to explain why Bardock has his life back."

The group nodded. Goku leaned back at closed his eyes, ready to listen to Fortuneteller Baba's words.

"Well it all started about a week ago. Someone had escaped from hell through a portal of negative energy, it restored his life, and all of his powers, and even gave him new ones. Well, he can open these portals anywhere in the other world that he wants, and he hand picks certain warriors to take care of his dirty work. I don't know why he would pick the likes of Burter and Dodoria, but it was effective enough. But they're still dead again. I decided to search for a warrior that would help, Bardock learned of these portals and contacted me. He told me that he would like to prevent disasters like the ones Frieza decided to make it happen, hoping that he could maybe make a difference. Bardock received his life, and I brought him here, luckily, just in time to beat that Dodoria fella." The group sat in silence for a moment, then Baba spoke up again. "Now, I don't know who it is, but one of his servants knows about the saiyans very well, and about what they can do. He is being controlled, and I don't know how it's possible, from what I've heard, this guy is a lunatic. His other servant is a mad scientist, I think you all know Dr. Gero."

Goku's eyes then opened fast. "But, I thought he was dead!"

"He was Goku, but remember, this guy can bring back evil with his new ablilities." Goku looked down at the floor in disgust. "He has a nasty plan for the saiyans, I know that you guys will be able to overcome it, at least, Vegeta will. But there are a few of you that I am worried about." They all looked at Baba with interest. "Goku, you know Instant Transmission." Goku nodded. "Then do me a favor my boy, go and retrieve Mr. Satan."

"Sure." Goku said. He stood up, and put his index and middle fingers on his forehead. "There, I'll be right back." Goku disappeared.

"Hey, what does my father have to do with this!" Videl demanded.

"Calm down Videl, everything will become clear to you in a few moments." Just then Goku and Mr. Satan appeared in the kitchen, where everyone was waiting.

"Here we are, you are now free to unbuckle your seat belts, please throw away any garbage that you brought on the trip. Thank you." Goku said. Everyone began laughing hysterically.

"Daddy, what's going on." Demanded Videl, who as not amused.

"Well, we've been keeping something from you for along time sweetie." Mr. Satan said. Videl looked at Baba, and Baba nodded.

"Like... what?" Videl asked.

"Well, we advise everyone in the room to brace themselves, this will come as a shock, Bardock was already informed of the situation on the way to Earth." Everyone leaned forward to listen to Baba, but Goku sat back in his chair, eyes closed like before, ready for anything.

"Alright, Videl. As you know, there are six saiyans in the room. Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, and Bardock. Gohan, Goten and Trunks being half saiyans. But, unknown to everyone but me, your father, and Goku's father, there are in fact, Seven saiyans in the room. The seventh saiyan is also a half breed." Videl looked at Baba, and then her father, who coughed and turned around. Baba continued. "Yes Videl, there is another saiyan, and I think it's time that you knew the truth. It's you Videl..." Videl gasped. "You are the seventh saiyan in this room." The room went completely silent. Videl's eyes widened.

"Videl's a what!" Shouted Gohan.

Videl started to shake. "That... that can't be right. I don't feel like a saiyan, I'm not as strong, not as fast. It's not true. Daddy, it can't be true!" Videl was upset, she was looking at her dad. He didn't answer. "It can't be true."

"I'm sorry Videl." Said Bardock. "But it's true."

"And just how would you know that!" Videl demanded.

"Because... I was there... I remember your mother. She was born on the same day that Kakarrot was." Videl looked at Goku, who was still laid back in his chair. "Yes, the day before Frieza blew up the Planet Vegeta." Videl slumped down to the floor looking at Bardock in shock. "Kakarrot was sent to Earth just minutes before the planet was destroyed. Your mother was sent to a planet that isn't to far from here. How Frieza missed both of them I don't know. She was different though. Like Kakarrot, she didn't want to harm anyone on the planet. She soon learned the fate of her people." Bardock stopped.

Fortuneteller Baba continued what he was saying. "Your mother was sent to Earth after the people from the planet she was originally sent to recognized that she was a saiyan. She didn't understand why, but apparently, the saiyans sent her off the planet as the Death Ball was heading toward the planet, in an older ship that didn't talk to the saiyan inside of it. She grew up alone, not knowing who her parents were. She lived on her own. After she was about 10 years old, she decided to see what Earth was like. She enjoyed Earth, she adopted it as her new home. It was only until she was a teenager that I seek her out and told her about what her race was like. She was ashamed of what her heritage was like, and vowed that if she ever had a child, that her saiyan side be locked up, kept from her child." Videl began to feel tears swelling up in her eyes. Baba continued. "She met your father not long after that, and soon they had you. Interestingly enough, You and Gohan were born in the same month of the same year."

Videl turned her head to look at Gohan, who was still in shock, his eyes opened wide, and trembling. She then looked around the room, everyone else was looking at the floor. Goku was still in the same position, it was as if Goku wasn't surprised by this news, but really, he was just as shocked as any of them.

"That day, I went to the hospital that day to see her. She remembered her promise, to hide the saiyan side of her child. I developed a spell that would lock up the saiyan side of you. Unfortunately, your mother was killed only a year and a half after you were born."

"I know it seems hard to believe, but it is all true." Hercule said. "Your mother told me about her being Saiyan and what not. I didn't want anyone to think I was crazy, so I kept it from you, and everyone. Then at the Cell games, I got my first taste of what Saiyans could do, but back then I didn't know they were Saiyans, not until recently."

Videl began to cry, which got Gohan's attention. He didn't know what to do, he was practically helpless.

"Now, here is why I decided to tell you now. I've noticed that you and Gohan have bonded. I can't change that, but I'm worried, because my spell has a flaw in it. Now your saiyan side will become aware to you one way or another. I've decided to reverse the spell to save you."

"Save me? What do you mean." Said Videl.

"Well, I didn't realize any other saiyans existed back then. If I had knew that Goku was a saiyan back then I wouldn't have cast the spell, but because you and Gohan, who happens to be half saiyan like you, are in love with each other the spell could become fatal. I was hoping that you never met Gohan, but that couldn't be helped. The saiyan side of you will want to emerge, but the spell will keep it inside, causing a massive energy build up. If enough energy is built up, it will began to kill you from the inside because it is trapped, and will have no where to go. It'll zap your strength, and kill off your immune system, so you'll either die from disease, or the energy will kill every cell in your body that allows you to live. So, that is why. I want you to live and see the beauty of life, so I'm doing you a favor in a sense. Now, remain calm. I'll give you a moment to prepare yourself." Videl did not respond. Baba sighed, "Alright, everyone get back." The group nodded and stepped back. Baba then pointed her hands toward Videl, who was still sitting on the floor, speechless. Baba's hands began to glow pink, it then turned into smoke and surrounded Videl. It circled her a few times before sinking into her body. After a few seconds, Videl's whole body was flashing a bright pink color. After the flash was gone, Videl sat there, in the same way, still speechless. "There, I have freed your saiyan side."

Videl began to cry, she knew she had changed, but she didn't feel it. Goku finally sat up and leaned forward, he opened his eyes.

"Hey guys," Said Goku in a deep, darker voice than usual. "I think I'm going to go fishing." Everyone in the room looked at Goku like he was insane. Videl even snapped out of it for a minute to look at him.

"Have you lost your mind!" Yelled Chi Chi.

"No, I just need to get out of the house for a little while." Goku stood up and began to walk toward the door. "Gohan, I want you to come with me."

Gohan looked at his father from his chair. "Um... alright I guess." Gohan got up and walked out the door with his father. They both flew off to a nearby stream.

Baba looked at the door. "Hrmph... it's amazing how calm that guy can be in times like these."

Videl began to cry again. "I... can't believe this... I've been living a lie." Her crying became louder.

Gohan heard her from the stream. "Oh no, Videl!"

"Gohan, let her be. She'll be there when we get back. I just want you to cool off for a little while. That's why we came here."

"So, we're not fishing."

"What? Oh I'm fishing, if you want you can too." Goku then ran toward the stream and jumped in. Gohan watched for a minute. He decided that a little swim would probably do him so good, so he decided to jump in as well.

"Videl, I'm sorry I never told you." Hercule said.

"Just shut up... Shut up and leave me alone!" Videl got up and ran to Gohan's bedroom, closing the door behind her. She layed down on Gohan's bed, still crying. She couldn't stop, she hadn't cried in a long time, and there was no stoping it.

"Alright Mr. Satan, time to get you home." Said Fortuneteller Baba.

"But, what about her?"

"Don't worry about her. She will be alright. Come on let's go." Mr. Satan nodded hesitantly and followed. Then, Baba surrounded herself and Mr. Satan in a bubble shield, and flew off.

"Well," Said Vegeta, "I guess it's time that we head home too." He looked at Trunks, who could only nod. Vegeta and Trunks both flew off toward home as well.

Bardock was standing at the window. He was quiet.

Chi Chi walked over to him. "You can stay with us Bardock, after all, you are Goku's father."

Bardock turned around and nodded. "Thank you." Chi Chi smiled and brought him into the living room.

"Unfortunalty, we don't have anymore beds in the house, I hope you don't mind sleeping on the couch for now."

"No, not at all. I've slept in worse places before." They smiled and Chi Chi began to leave the room.

She heard Videl's crying becoming softer, but it was still crying, which struck Chi Chi's heart. "Oh... I wish there was something I could do."

A few hours passed before Goku and Gohan got home. They opened the door and walked in quietly. Bardock was on the couch, he looked over at Goku and Gohan and waved. Goku then sat down in the recliner and began talking with his dad.

"Hey Gohan," Said Goku, "Go get that fish to show him."

Gohan nodded and went outside.

"So, how is she?"

"Well," Bardock replied. "She's been in the room all evening. I haven't heard her cry in the past few hours, I think she fell asleep."

"Well, I hope this doesn't affect Her and Gohan's relationship at all. I like her, and I think she would be perfect for Gohan to spend the rest of his life with. Chi Chi doesn't know about this side of me. She thinks that all I think about is fighting and eating."

"I see." Said Bardock. "You are a saiyan though, and thats what we were born to do."

"Yeah, I know. But Chi Chi will see that side of me eventually." Said Goku. "That is of course if she can stop yelling at me for five minutes so I can show her." Goku and Bardock both began laughing.

Gohan walked in with a giant fish, which Bardock looked at in awe. "Big enough for ya grandpa? I bet they didn't have fish on Planet Vegeta."

"Are you kidding, they had fish there, but I don't remember huge ones. Then again, I was always out on missions," Bardock replied, "I love fish though."

"Well, now we know where Dad gets it from, right dad."

Goku nodded with a smile.

"Hey, I'm going to go get changed." Gohan said. Gohan set the fish in the large freezer, walked into his bedroom and closed the door.

"Hey wait, Gohan!" Goku said, but Bardock stopped him.

"Let him be, they need some time together." Said Bardock. Goku then turned back around and slumped down in his seat. They began talking about other things.

Gohan shut his door slowly, he looked up and saw Videl, asleep on his bed. She didn't stay asleep for long. She sat up and looked at Gohan, who was facing the other way.

"G... Gohan?" Videl said with a yawn.

"Hmm?" Gohan turned around. "Hey, how are you feeling?"

"Tired, scared, lonely."

"Hey, don't feel lonely. I'm here ya know."

Videl smiled. She sat at the edge of the bed with the covers up to her waist. "Gohan, come sit down please."

"Alright." Gohan walked over to the bed and sat down next to Videl. "Whats up?"

"So, I bet you're freaked out, aren't you."

"Well, it does come as a shock, but I wouldn't say I'm freaked out."

"You mean, you don't think I'm weird?"

Gohan laughed. "Of course not, rememeber, I'm half saiyan too, how do you think I felt when you found out I wasn't normal. Remember teaching you how to fly?"

"Yeah. I rememeber, I also remember the Tournament. Mr. Super Saiyan." Videl Giggled.

Gohan blushed and looked at the floor. "By then, I knew that you knew something was different about me. But you didn't mind, you fell in love with me, and I never told you that I only thought we were friends. But then, I started feeling for you. I knew it, but I didn't want to tell you. Then today, we shared our first kiss, and it was the best thing ever."

Videl blushed and smiled. "Yeah, so you're really okay with it, with me being half saiyan?"

"Of course Videl, you know that, and you know what, I still love you."

"Oh Gohan, I love you too." Videl and Gohan then leaned in and kissed each other. They stopped, and Videl wrapped her arms around Gohan and kissed him again. Yes, they were in love. Deeply.

"Yeah... This is going to sound stupid, but I tried giving him another chance. Then he turned on me, I should have known better." Said Goku. Him and his father were discussing Goku's battle with Frieza.

"Well, I'm proud of you son. When you were first born, I admit, I didn't think you were much, you only had an average power level, but when I heard that you had become a Super Saiyan, I knew for sure you'd beat him."

"Well, I almost did, then I got to Earth and found out Trunks beat him." Bardock looked at him confused. "Oh, Not this Trunks, the Trunks from the future." Bardock still looked at him confused. "I'll explain later. Either way, Frieza met his end to the hands of a saiyan, a Super Saiyan at that." Goku smiled.

"Yeah, I only wish I had a crack at him." Bardock said.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure you'd do a number on him. Hey, hold that thought, I'm going to check on those two." Goku got up out of his chair and walked over to Gohan's bedroom. He opened the door slightly and peeked in. "Awww. Look at those two." He whispered. Videl was curled up in Gohan's arms, and Gohan held her close. They were both sound asleep. Goku had a warm feeling come over him. Reminds me of Chi Chi and I, when she's not yelling at me. He smiled and shut the door slowly.

"They alright Kakarrot?" Asked Bardock.

"Yup, they're just fine." Goku replied."

Videls a Saiyan. Wow, crazy. Hopefully this doesn't draw trouble, but knowing evil, they never rest. Keep on reading.
