Chapter 12... its short, i know.. I'm sorry
If you thought that someone was going to get a beating, just remember its Gohan and i made sure to try to stick to his actual personality as much as i could.
If you remember a few chapters ago i Gohan thought that Videl might have been part Saiyan because of her fighting spirit. DOn't worry, shes not. This ain't no spoiler cuz its not a mystery in my story that shes human. end of problem
Hercule cleared his throat once more. "Hello Sharpener, Erasa." He said while nodding once to each of them. "If you two don't mind, I would like to have a word with me daughter and her new - err - boyfriend." He said. He looked as if he were standing firm and tall. But Gohan could tell that he was standing stiff and jagged.
Erasa and Sharpener excused themselves and decided that it was for the best if they went home. Hercule entered the gym like a robot. "You must be Gohan" He stuttered while extending his hand.
Gohan shook it "Its a pleasure to meet you sir." he said calmly.
"So Gohan, Videl has told me that you were that Delivery Boy at the Cell Games." Hercule announce. He tried to loosen up, but failed. "Is that true?"
"It is, sir." Gohan responded.
Hercule gulped. "Look son, I'm sorry I took your credit. But after that huge explosion you all vanished and I didn't know what to do." He admitted shyly.
"Don't worry about it." Gohan said with a smile. "I wouldn't have wanted that title anyway. I know who I am and so do the ones I care about. The world is safe and my family is at peace. Thats all that matters to me." Gohan really didn't care much for what the man in front of him thought. But he did care about Videl. She would probably be like Lime and make a fuss about letting Mr. Satan take his title.
After hearing Gohan's mini speech, Hercule burst into dramatic tears. "Oh Gohan!" He shouted between exaggerated sobs. He fell to the floor on his knees and continued his dramatic act. "Your such a kind boy! I don't deserve this kindness!" and the act went on.
Videl sighed in frustrations. "Cut it out dad. Your embarrassing yourself" As she said that, Hercule sniffed loudly and cleaned his face with his arm.
He stood back up and took a moment to calm himself. "Okay. I'm good." He said and then his face turned serious. "Listen boy! You might be the strongest person in the world and millions of times stronger than me, but if you hurt my little Videl in any way, you will pay! I'm not sure how, but you will!"
Videl rolled her eyes. "Gohan," She said while taking a hold of his arm "Lets go back to Capsule Corp. I want to train a while more. Plus," She eyed her dad "Anywhere is better than here." She tugged on his arm and began walking towards the exit. He followed, letting her lead.
They arrived at Capsule Corp quickly. Inside the building Videl had to let Gohan handle the directions because she was still totally lost in the massive home. They entered a different place than the living room they had been in the previous day. But just like the day before, Bulma was sitting in that room working on something.
Videl figured that Gohan sensed where the blue haired scientist was and went where ever she was. "Gohan!" a small voice came from behind the couple. Bulma looked up and finally noticed them. And the same time that she saw him, the teenaged Saiyan was tackled by Trunks.
Gohan fell to the ground to humor the little guy. Bulma laughed at that. "Such a good kid." She said aloud. "Hey there Gohan, Videl." She greeted right after.
"Hey Bulma!" Gohan said from the floor where Trunks was jumping over his stomach like Goten often did.
Videl noticed that the constant jumping over him was slowly lifting his shirt. She discreetly kept watching until a strong six pack was visible. She slapped herself in her mind before beginning to drool.
"You know Gohan," Bulma said "Trunks is just like a little brother to you. So you should treat him the same as you do Goten." She was smiling. She was well aware that Gohan was a lot nicer to Trunks because of his respect to the Trunks from the future.
Gohan smiled. "Well... maybe just this once." And with no further delay, he swatted Trunks like a fly and he fell right on the floor himself. He just laughed it off like Goten did. Compared to Vegeta, Gohan was a saint.
Videl snapped out of her trance that looking at a part of Gohan's well toned body had caused. She rushed over to where Trunks had fallen and looked over him to see if he was hurt. "Gohan! How could you do that sort of thing to a kid!" She shouted.
Gohan stood up and laughed a bit. "Videl, Trunks is not your average kid. He's a half Saiyan just like me. And he father is much worse than mine was when I was his age. He been trained day and night. He'd probably be training now if Bulma didn't have a say in it. He stronger than you and almost every other person on the planet." Gohan defended his kinda brother playfully.
Trunks was smiling widely and just said "Aa-ha" in agreement.
"So Gohan, its funny that you came here." Bulma said after just watching the situation with a smile. "Chichi just called and ordered me to give you a cellphone so that she can contact you."
Videl was now confused times two. First, she learns that this little boy in her arms is stronger than her. Then she learns that Gohan's mother had the power to order around Bulma Briefs. Videl was raised on the main principle that Bulma was the queen of earth in a way. And now she heard that she was being ordered around by her boyfriend's mum. Even if Chichi was the daughter of the Ox King, she still shouldn't have that much power.
"I'm sorry that I get her so pissed at me and then she takes it out on you." Gohan apologized to Bulma while scratching the back of his head in the traditional Son way.
"Don't worry about it, kid." Bulma said while searching for something or other in her drawers. "I'm used to it. I had to deal with Chichi's antics when she was Trunk's size. But she was such a cute girl back then." She laughed thinking back at the memory of when they first met. She remembered that that was the first time Goku had done the Kamehame wave. And she had been wearing a bunny suit at the time.
"But still. You know how mum can be." he said with a weird laugh.
"Boy do I know it. But at least I know I'm not the only one with two Saiyans in the house. Actually she had three, and she's had to deal with them for much longer than I have." Bulma said while laughing. Gohan agreed.
Bulma was still flipping most of her unorganized drawers upside down. Gohan and Trunks watched her run back and forth all over the place. Videl was just shocked to see the Brief residence in such a mess. She asked Gohan why and he responded by saying that they stopped getting maids and stuff because Vegeta always scared them away.
After some more searching, Bulma finally found her target. It was a cellphone. It was actually and iPhone five. Videl stared at in in as much awe as she had at Gohan's abs. But her admiration was much more obvious here.
"That can't be!" She said. "There's only been up till iPhone four available to the public! The fifth is only supposed to be in the making!"
Gohan looked clueless. To him it was just a little sleek screen with a button at the bottom center and a mini camera lens on the upper right corner on the it had a little apple icon and it said 'iPhone' under it. Apparently to Videl it was something impressive.
"Since wen have I been part of the public?" Bulma responded to Videl's comment with a cocky smirk.
"True." Videl said.
"Here you go Gohan, your new phone. Videl, I'm sure, will teach you how to use it." Bulma said while handing the iPhone to Gohan.
Videl could throw away her Blackberry through the window for a phone like that one. But then she thought that she almost never used her own phone. Only from her father, police emergencies and Erasa. It was a good pass time in class though.
Gohan thanked Bulma and they went to the gravity room. The training was the same as yesterday. Videl shot energy blasts at the little machines and then tried to dodge it while the level of gravity slightly increased. This time Trunks was in the room as well. While Videl struggled, Trunks and Gohan happily spared. The gravity, which was now at a full two times, didn't affect the two boys at looked like he was completely at home and floating about the place while Videl felt like she would sink through the ground any second.
Videl decided it was break time. She sat on the floor and sighed loudly. Gohan had heard that and stopped his laughing at and upside down Trunks who was on the floor complaining. He sat next to his girlfriend and asked "Whats up?"
"How can you and that five-year-old be so natural when your two times your normal weight?" She said slightly irritated.
Trunks popped up in front of then. "Simple!" He exclaimed cheerfully. As a young child filled with sugar, he had yet to inherit Vegeta's personality. Gohan was glad about that. "Dad makes me train in over fifty times gravity! And if Gohan and dad were to have a competition on who could stay standing up for longer as the gravity kept going up, they would both go past i think about 800 times in super Saiyan and then Gohan would probably win! But don't tell dad I said that."
"Eight-hundred times!" Videl shouted loudly "Gohan, please tell me he's kidding!"
"Trunks, Vegeta can not turn to ascended Super Saiyan, so I'm pretty sure we could go a little higher than that." Gohan said messing up Trunks's lavender.
Videl stood speechless.
I want to explain this 800 times gravity thing. Lets assume that Gohan weighs about 70 kg normally hes muscular and tall so maybe a little more but we'll do with that. give or take a few. times 800 that makes 56 tons. If you've watched the series, you know that in otherworld Goku was training and then the South Kai changed his weights to 10 tones each giving him a total of 40 tons. In his base state, it was hard, but then with super saiyan it was as if nothing happened. So 56 to maybe 60 tons (depending on Gohan and Vegeta's weight) won't be that bad in Super Saiyan 2. And in my story we weren't talking about battle or anything, just standing up under the 800 times gravity. So i think its quite possible.
A lot of people have begun underestimating these characters. I've read a few fics where Videl -as a human- was able to beat up Gohan when he was trying because he didn't know it was her. Seriously, even if he can't sense her ki, his reflexes and clear mind should be able to pulverize her.
Turning Videl into a saiyan in a fic irritates me a bit but I still read it... but if the power of the saiyans is belittled, then i won't stand for it...
that, ladies and gentlemen, is my rant =)
