"Triple Threat 2: Attack from the Past"
Chapter 10: "Smile of Deceit"

"It is you." Videl said and clenched her fist.

"Why is your energy level different?" Eighteen demanded with her piercing blue eyes.

"Hm? Is that you, Eighteen?" Kayla looked up to her and frowned. "You're human. You're not an android anymore. Why?"

She narrowed her eyes at the girl. How does she know that? "That's none of your business. I have my reasons."

"Kayla, why are you here?" Videl said as calmly as possible.

"Why am I here?" Kayla lifted herself inches from the ground and floated in front of Videl. "I am here because my father told me that Turles was revived by the Dragonballs."

"But your father's dead!" Videl exclaimed.

Kayla shook her head. "Not anymore. Pilaf revived him and Turles with the Dragonballs."

"Pilaf!" Gohan gasped.

"Apparently, he was angry that something didn't go his way."

"So, that power level was coming from you?" Vegeta appeared behind Goku with a scowl. "Who are you?"

Kayla smirked. "Vegeta. I've got a lot of information about you. At least, my father did."

"Your father knew Vegeta?" Goku asked in awe. "But how...?"

"How are you Videl's half-sister?" Gohan asked, watching for any movement from Kayla.

She looked at Gohan and smiled knowingly. "Our mothers are the same. So, which one are you?"

"Which one am I? What are you talking about?"

"I have information on Goku, Vegeta, and their families and friends. You must be Gohan. You're Videl's age. Of course, my information is outdated. It only goes up to when Dr. Gero was killed."

Everyone could only stare at her silently. This stranger, Kayla, Videl's half-sister, knew almost everyone's past without them saying a word.

"What? Why are you all looking at me like that? I'm not an enemy. I'm here to help you defeat Turles."

Videl wasn't so sure.

----------

Bulma had arranged for Kayla to stay at Capsule Corp. "If she's going to help, she needs somewhere to stay." She had reasoned.

"I don't like it." Videl told everyone while Kayla was getting settled in. "I don't think she's telling the truth."

"Why not, Videl?" Goku asked. "She seems nice enough to me."

"I'm with Videl." Gohan spoke up. "Something about her just doesn't seem right."

"Be assured. Me, Vegeta and Trunks will keep an eye out on her." Bulma told him. "If she decides to do anything, Vegeta can fight her off."

"Just be careful, Bulma." Videl said with concerned eyes.

----------

Videl met Gohan on the roof after school. "I'm here, Gohan."

"Yes, I am, too." A voice said from the sky and a small energy blast headed toward Gohan.

He used his left palm to stop it. "What do you want with us, Turles?"

Turles smiled. "You." The energy blast in Gohan's palm stretched into a bubble and enveloped the half-Saiyan.

"Gohan!" Videl gasped.

Gohan pushed against the wall of the pale yellow energy bubble. It was cold to the touch. "What is this thing? Ka... Me... Ha... Me... Ha!"

But the energy wave just bounced back at Gohan. He hit the opposite wall and groaned.

Turles laughed. "Don't bother. That bubble is specially designed for Saiyans. It welcomes them in, but doesn't let them out."

Videl ran beside Gohan but was thrown back by the strong energy surrounding it.

"Videl! Don't worry about me. Just go and warn Dad or Vegeta. I don't want you getting caught, too!"

"Never!" Videl stood up and charged at the energy bubble again. "I won't let you go without a fight!" She was slammed to the roof with an even harder impact.

"Videl!" Gohan yelled again.

"Come." Turles said and the bubble floated toward him.

"Turles, no!" Videl sped to him but he disappeared before she could attack.

Videl landed on the roof and slammed her fists down. "No! Gohan..." She fought back tears. A small bean rolled against her left foot.

"W-What?' She picked it up. Another one was beside it. She gasped. "They're Gohan's senzu beans that Goku gave him! But why... why did he...? Did he purposely drop them for me?" Her eyes glazed over. She closed them tightly and squeezed the two senzu beans in her left hand. Gohan, I will get you back.

----------

As she landed in front of Gohan's house, she saw Chichi and Bulma holding thier heads. The others were there, too, silent.

"Hey, Videl." Bulma muttered and looked up at her.

Videl's eyes widened as she realized the woman had been crying.

"I assume he took Gohan, too?" Bulma asked gravely.

Videl nodded slowly. Turles must have did the same with Goku and Vegeta. "But what does Turles want with them?"

"That's what I'm going to find out." Kayla said. "I said I was going to help, and I thought this would be the best way. Turles took all the Saiyans, including Trunks and Goten."

Videl glanced at the senzu beans in her hand and clenched them tighter. "I'm going, too. Gohan would give his life to save me, and I..." She gave everybody a confident look." I'm willing to do the same."

The second half of the story has now begun. From here on out, it only gets better, with finding out who Kayla is, her past and her connection to Videl. And just how much does she know about the gang? Don't forget about Turles...
