Chapter 10
Gohan looked around bored as the committee was cleaning the wet grounds and getting everything set up for the Adult Division. He was starting to get impatient. He had gotten Goten, Trunks, and Marron front row seats so that they could toss the bag with the dragonballs in it to him when he finished kicking Goku's ass.
"Hey Gohan!" Sharpner and Erasa ran up to him—well Erasa ran up to him dragging Sharpner with her—and skid to a halt infront of him. "Good luck in the tournament! I'm rooting for you!" Gohan took a step back, disturbed at her heart shaped eyes. "You'll need more than luck when Videl starts kicking your—OW!!!"
Erasa kicked Sharpner in the shins and smiled at Gohan who just looked at them stoically. "Will the Adult Division fighters please report in the waiting area." Gohan nodded towards them, Erasa and Sharpner started arguing about her kicking him in the shins and who was going to win, and left.
When he finally got to the waiting room his eyes locked onto Shin's. The room seemed gone as they stared at each other until the announcer's voice broke them out of their mental contest. "Alright everyone please come forward and pick a number when I call your name. Starting first…"
As he called them one by one Gohan stood in the corner of the room and glared at Goku. When Goku was called his eyes flicked to Vegeta who was giving him a warning glare not to mess with the number balls. Gohan grunted and nodded his head slightly. Vegeta grunted at him back and they watched impatiently as Goku fiddled around and chose a ball.
"…Vegetable Briefs." Gohan snorted in laughter and Vegeta's eye twitched. "I AM NOT A VEGETABLE DAMMIT!!! IT'S VEGETA!!! SAY VEGETA!!!" The announcer cowered. "V-VEGETA, VEGETA!!!" Vegeta smirked and pulled out his number. His smirk grew into a broad grin as he showed Gohan his number. Gohan scowled. Vegeta was going to fight Goku first.
"…Xavier." All the Z Fighters looked around to see who that was except Vegeta who already knew. Shin glanced at Kibito. "Who's Xavier?" Kibito shrugged. "I think that was the name of Gohan's mentor in HFIL. Personally they look like father and son." Shin looked interested as Gohan walked up for his number and scowled at it.
Soon everyone was done and while the Z Fighters talked about how they would meet each other in the ring Gohan, Vegeta, Shin, and Kibito stared suspiciously at the two men. Both had black Ms on their foreheads. "They look suspicious…" Shin muttered. The two saiya-jins grunted. "I think we should…play a game of cards." The saiya-jins gave him odd looks and Kibito muttered something that sounded like "Not again…"
Twenty card games and lots of wins later…
Shin glared at Gohan, fuming as he watched the demi-saiya-jin picked up the money and began counting it. Vegeta couldn't play seeing that he had a match to fight. Gohan refused to watch it, knowing Goku was going to win it anyway. Kibito was relieved that someone besides Shin was winning this time.
"And Goku wins! (cheers) Videl vs. Spopavich next!" Vegeta stumbled into the waiting room, furious that he lost to his rival. He scowled at Gohan's I-told-you-so look. "Shut up brat." Gohan smirked and left with his money. Shin gave his old money teary eyes as Gohan left with it and looked like he was going to burst into tears any second.
"My money…" Shin sniffed and Kibito rolled his eyes. "Take good care of it!" Shin cried and Gohan rolled his eyes as he walked near the ring to watch the next match. People gave Shin odd looks and Kibito inched away from him. Shin looked at his practically empty money bag with tears in his eyes and hugged it close to him.
Kibito inched away from him more and people began following his example, giving Shin disturbed looks and keeping their distance. Gohan shoved Goku out of the way to get a better look at the fight. Goku raised an eyebrow at his son and looked him up and down. "What was that for son?" Gohan glared at him. "Don't call me that Son."
Goku blinked and Gohan turned his attention to the beginning of the fight. "Ready for the next fight?" The crowd cheered as Videl stretched and Spopavich cracked his knuckles, sneering at her. "Well here it is, Videl vs. Spopavich! Ready…begin!" Videl launched at her opponent who punched towards her. Videl quickly moved out of the way and swept his legs from under him.
Gohan watched carefully, complimenting her many times on her skill and moves. In fact this was the only fight he actually wanted to see. Videl versus someone else. He didn't quite understand WHY but he knew he wanted to watch her fight and that's all he cared about. He stood surprised when he realized he was worried when Spopavich punched her.
He wasn't very happy when Spopavich started getting the upper hand. His anger began making his energy rise, an incredible sight to see that made the human population of the fighters wet their pants. His eyes flashed red and black energy swirled around him as the room chilled and the wind picked up.
When he snarled at Spopavich saving Videl his canines showed and his eyes flashed red again. The human fighter population fainted. In the corner of the room the man's energy compass spun around uncontrollably and exploded in his face. He stared in awe and ran off to get Spopavich before things got out of control.
Gohan was about to jump into the fight when the other man (A/N: I don't know what his name is; I'll just call him Majin since that's the first thing that came to my head) called out to Spopavich. "Stop Spopavich, it's time to go. We found who we needed." Spopavich smirked then tossed Videl out of the ring. Dusting off his hands he flew off with Majin.
Gohan calmed himself and watched as the crowd grew into pandemonium while Videl was carried off by the monks in a stretcher. "Uh…we're going to have a quick break and come back with the status of Videl!" the announcer said nervously as a riot began to ensue. Gohan closed his blood red eyes. When he opened them they were black. He turned heel and left the room.
He shoved everyone out of the way, stopping infront of the infirmary. He opened the door and stepped inside to see a nervous doctor and a frantic Hercule. He glared at the doctor who got the message and meekly shuffled out. Hercule was less fortunate as Gohan grabbed him by his collar and tossed him out of the room and into the wall.
Ignoring everyone's gasps of surprise and the flashing of cameras, he slammed the door and locked it. He walked over to Videl and examined her pitiful state. She had bruises everywhere and looked like a broken rag doll. He sighed and pulled out a sensu bean from under his red belt. He sat Videl up and shoved the bean inside her mouth.
"Chew." He ordered and Videl reluctantly complied. The bruises and blood began to disappear and Videl's eyes snapped open. She stared at Gohan who swept his cloak around her to cover the slashes on her clothes. She blushed and hugged it around her, giving him a meek thank you. He just nodded and seemed to be struggling with something.
"What did you give me?" He crossed his arms and glanced at her. "It's called a sensu bean. It heals you at an abnormally fast pace as you can see." Videl nodded and they sat in silence for awhile, Gohan's tail wrapping around Videl's ankle. Videl raised an eyebrow at it and Gohan glared at the tail, it had a mind of its own sometimes.
"Gohan—" he cut her off. "I suggest we go back, the crowd is starting to riot. Maybe if we're lucky we'll be able to sit back and watch the women toss off their shirts and burn their bras in protest." Videl threw a playful slap his way and he dodged. "If we're REALLY lucky we might be able to watch the drunkards streak."
"GOHAN!!!" Gohan gave her an innocent look. "What?" Videl rolled her eyes and got off the doctor bed. You're horrible Gohan Gohan snorted as they walked down the hall. You don't know what horrible is until I show you Videl gave him an odd look but he refused to say or think anything else. She growled in frustration.
When they returned the stadium was settling down with the exception of a few monks trying to get a few women to stop burning their bras and put back on their shirts, as well as the occasional drunk streaker running through the stands they had to catch. All and all it was pretty much back to normal.
When they entered the waiting room everyone turned and stared at them. Even with Gohan's cloak Videl still felt uncomfortable with her ripped shirt and Gohan could feel it through their bond. "Next fight, Xavier vs. Kibito!" Gohan couldn't believe he was doing this and took off his black non-sleeve gi top, handing it to Videl and showing his muscular chest to the world.
Videl stared at him in shock and Gohan smirked as he placed the shirt on her head to cover her eyes. Like what you see? Videl scowled under the shirt and took it off her head. When I die He leaned over and Videl blushed as she felt his hot breath near her ear. "That can be arranged." Videl turned a deeper shade of red and Vegeta snickered.
"Good one brat!" Vegeta said proudly as Gohan walked away smirking, Videl both blushing and fuming. As he walked out with Kibito the entire stadium (the entire female population of the stadium) burst into loud whistling, screams, and half burnt bras being thrown at him. He just brushed them off and got into the ring. The announcer man put his hand up.
"Ready…begin!" Gohan relaxed, getting ready for anything that might and probably will happen. In fact he was counting on it. "Mr. Gohan we are sorry for this." Gohan's eyes widened in shock as his body froze and a blue light kept him from moving. Staying calm he closed his eyes and concentrated.
"What are you doing to him?!" Videl yelled at Shin who shook his head at the other Z Fighter's shocked looks. "It has to be done." Majin and Spopavich came out of nowhere and while Spopavich held onto Gohan to keep him from moving Majin shoved the lamp into his side. Gohan's eyes turned blood red and his bad ass side arose from its dark abyss.
He broke easily out of Shin's barrier—to the shock of Shin and Kibito—by grabbing Spopavich's neck with his arms and turning it with a sickening crack. Majin stared in horror and wasn't successful in his escape as Gohan then took the dead body of Spopavich and swung him over his shoulder and into Majin like a baseball bat, letting them both crash into the brick wall.
Gohan sent a black energy blast into the two and with a huge explosion their bodies disintegrated. The stadium stared in shock as Gohan motioned for the chibis to bring him his bag. They hopped the wall and climbed into the ring, handing him his bag. To the Z Fighter's shock he dumped the dragonballs out of the bag and into the ring.
"He's got the dragonballs!" Bulma cried.
"We have to stop him, he might create Armageddon like the dragon said!" Yamcha whined.
"I told you Gohan was evil!" Chichi shouted at them.
Goku flew to stop him but ran smack dab into an invisible barrier. He slid down the side of it into the grass with swirly eyes and a goofy grin. "Hmm…fight…Chichi…naked…FOOD, FOOD, FOOD!" They stared at Goku for a while then turned their attention to Gohan who was smirking. "Arise Eternal Dragon!"
The skies turned black and lighting thundered. The humans of Earth screamed and tried to get out of the stadium but Gohan's mental powers locked the doors and kept anyone from leaving. The dragonballs glowed and the Eternal Dragon Shenron erupted from them…wearing a black tails hat backwards, a black tails t-shirt, and reading Evil Weekly.
Meanwhile at the Lookout…
The entire Lookout was deserted. It looked like no one had been here for weeks. Even the birds and butterflies refused to come up there, as if someone told them not to. The entire place was clean though, despite its emptiness and echoing walls. But lo and behold, a sign was placed on a nail on the side of a palm tree saying:
Dear anyone who is reading this. Foresaw Armageddon, Ragnarock, Apocalypse, End of the world…whatever you want to call it. On vacation until Earth is once again habitable…which we hope will be soon. –Mr. Popo and Dende
Back at the Bodukai…
The entire stadium was silent. Both parties—the earthlings and the Z Fighters—were in a state of shock for two different reasons. The earthlings were in shock because they had never seen a huge, long dragon erupt from seven small orange balls. The Z Fighters were in shock because Shenron was reading Evil Weekly and wearing the Black Tails merchandise.
"Hmm…LJAS…an assassination service…maybe I could use this to kill that annoying monkey Goku…damn monkey always interrupts my job…I swear I don't get paid enough to do this…then to top it all off no dental plan or anything…I should just quit somehow and—"
Gohan cleared his throat, getting the dragon's attention. Shenron's eyes widened at the sight of him and he gulped, making Evil Weekly disappear and a Black Tails flag appear in its place. Gohan rolled his eyes as Shenron waved the flag nervously, saying "I come in peace!" over and over again. "Shenron I need you to grant me a wish." Shenron sighed in relief.
"Of course, of course! What can I do for you? Need someone to die? Have the need to rule the world? Or better yet the universe?"
Standing by an unconscious Goku…
The Z Fighters were in panic while Vegeta and 18 yawned and Videl wanted to know what the hell was going on. "Maybe if we make the wishes before him then we'll be able to stop the wishes he wants to grant!" Krillin suggested and the others shrugged, it was worth a try at the least.
At the ring…
Gohan put a thoughtful finger to his chin with a thoughtful look. "Yes those things would be nice but—" Shenron rubbed his claws (all his claws) together and sent a toothy grin down on Gohan, cutting him off with his willing-to-help-as-long-as-you-don't-hurt-me attitude. His voice obviously showed his willingness to help.
"Alright, one universe and someone dieing coming right up!"
"That's not what I wanted!" Gohan growled and Shenron silently said a prayer, flinching at the tone of his voice. "We wish that Gohan and the crowd were unconscious and when the crowd woke up they won't remember anything except that Gohan had won the fight against Kibito!" Krillin yelled and both Gohan and Shenron stared at him.
"Do you actually think I'm going to grant that?"
"Uhh…yeah?"
"Uhh…no. Did I SAY I was going to grant you any wishes today? No. For Kami's sake haven't you Z Fighters bothered me enough?!"
The Z Fighters blinked and Gohan, Vegeta, and the chibis were snickering.
"I was hoping that the first time I did this you would've gotten the idea but NOO you just HAD to wake me up again! So, unless you are the Almighty, All-Powerful, All-Knowing—(Gohan clears his throat) sorry, hehe, the Great Magnificent Gohan f-ck off!"
Gohan, the chibis, and the Saiya-jin Prince himself began laughing at the Z Fighter's blank looks at their once beloved dragon and now a pain in the neck. "Now Shenron, I would like to make my wish." Everyone turned to Gohan expectantly, both curious (Vegeta and Videl) and frightened (everyone else) at what he was going to wish.
"I wish that in one pathetic earth week a portal opened up in the sky near wherever I am at that time; letting the villains of HFIL escape onto the earth I will soon rule!"
Ok so that didn't work out as planned. Guess Frieza and Cell's wedding is going to be in Chapter 11. Man I feel like I failed you. I was hoping I could fit it in here somehow but you know…I think the chapter's pretty long already and adding another page or three might make it a LITTLE too long. So that is my decision and that decision stands, Chapter 11: The Wedding that will go down in history, Cell Sel and Frieza Ice. If anyone really wants to know the Pastor/Reverend/Priest: Gohan. (snickers) REVIEW!!!
