Okay, let's start out by talking about the obvious occurrence. Those who have read my stories should know that I don't do things unless I have a reason, or if I don't know where to take my story. However, this time it is the first option. I've made Videl a quarter Saiyan not so that she can become incredibly strong but because I need it in order to make the story flow properly. I have a plan (something which I rarely have) and as such will do what I have to in order to make everyone enjoy this story as much as they can. I fee upset by people who have read stories with this twist and believe they know what is going to happen and thus do not give it a chance. I am not your ordinary author and this is not your ordinary story. As such, I ask of everyone reading this to give me a chance to prove that I can take an overused idea and turn it into something never seen before.

A-Man, I have no doubt if I made Videl incredibly strong we would have a great time arguing against one another however I don't plan on Videl becoming a major fighter. In my eyes, she is a warrior in spirit who always tries her best but in this new league her best is nowhere near enough. One point you made about a quarter Saiyan not being able to transform, if you watch the end of Dragonball GT you can see Goku Junior and Vegeta Junior become Super Saiyans, even though their blood has become so diluted. I believe the end of GT ruined the Dragonball series and this is one example. Anyway back to the topic at hand, Videl is not going to be doing anything overly powered as of now (and most likely later) as she has chosen to keep her Saiyan side surpressed within the necklace.

Cap-Red, do not worry, the Golden Fighters will make their appearances soon as the next of the crazy robot building guy's mind tries to figure out ways to defeat the Saiyans who easily destroy his precious androids. Thank you for saying that you will continue to read, I am always thankful for your critique.

Poopsmith and Otoguii, I'm sad to hear that you have given up on this story. I cannot force you to read what I write but I think that the way you are dropping this story without giving it a chance is an insult. Also Poopsmith, you mentioned how I should review my plot. I'll let you know that I have no real image in mind. I have no idea how I can get from A to B until I start writing the chapter and as such am sometimes inconsistent with my characters. I do live a normal life but I try update these stories as much as possible, I am giving my time and effort in an attempt to make give people a story to read.

KickAssVidel, thank you for saying that my Saiyan suppressing necklace was an original idea. I like to think that I don't simply follow the herd. As I said earlier, Videl will not become super powerful; however, I need her to have Saiyan genes in order for my plan to work.

To those of you who thought the fight was a little long, too bad. I needed it that length in order to create a hierarchical scale. In the battle I made it clear that we have the superior fighters but at the same time I tried to show that the other fighters aren't worthless.

Did anyone like my promotion of the day? Good, because here is another one. This time it is a comedy written by my good friend (at least I think he is my friend) ShadowMajin. The title is Survival of the Lamest and I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard, trust me you will enjoy it.

...

Videl sat in class deep in thought, not for the information that the teacher was writing up on the board but for what her future now held for her. She knew the only thing that made her the same as everyone in the room was the necklace dangling around her neck. Were the jewel to break, then she would likely be deemed an outcast with more strength than she would know what to do with. She could now understand how difficult it must have been for Gohan to try and fit in. She also knew that he wasn't invincible. She had seen how he had been sent crashing through that building as if it was made of nothing and she had even been with him as he went to the hospital. Then there were the many instances where he moved at incredible speeds and could pluck bullets out of the air as if they were marbles.

Videl turned her head to look at the empty space next to her. He had seen him vanish before the battle along with both the PE teacher Krillen and the Advanced Science teacher Trunks. They had gone off to do battle with the androids but she had been unable to follow them to make sure that Gohan was alright. Instead she had stayed and learnt about her background and the horrors that were contained within her personal history. She wanted to keep this a secret for as long as she could and thus would go about her normal day to day activities as if she never knew about her heritage, but she knew the truth and the truth hurt. This was something she couldn't tell anyone, not even Gohan.

...

"Gohan, why are you late?" bellowed the principal as he ran into the student who had just stepped onto the premises. "Also why are your clothes all torn and dirty like that?"

Gohan looked down at his clothes and immediately regretted not changing his outfit beforehand. His shirt was torn in several places and there was a black mark where a weak ki blast had connected with his torso. While it had hardly caused any damage it had burnt the fabric slightly. This had all occurred while he, Vegeta and Piccolo had been herding half the androids away. Gohan looked up at the principal, unable to think up a satisfactory answer within the time restrictions he had.

"He was doing some out of class with me," said a voice from behind Gohan. Gohan didn't need to turn around to see who it was; the voice was all too familiar.

"Of course Mr Briefs," said the principal almost apologetically. He didn't want to get on the bad side of the briefs, especially since he looked like he had just stepped out of hell itself. Trunks had several cuts across his face and his shirt had been badly torn revealing the black tank top underneath.

Trunks stopped walking as he stood next to Gohan. "Please, just refer to me as Trunks, I don't want too many people knowing my identity," said the lavender haired teacher.

"Of course Mr, I mean Trunks," said the principal correcting himself before excusing himself from the rest of the conversation.

"Thanks for the save," said Gohan as the two started walking down the corridor.

"I wouldn't bother going to the lesson you're meant to be in now, you've got your next class with me and Videl and I'm sure she is dying to know everything about what happened," mocked the older half Saiyan.

"Don't remind me," mopped Gohan as they headed towards the classroom.

...

"What's got you down?" whispered Erasa as the teacher had her back turned. Erasa, being Videl's best friend, could instantly recognise the fact that Videl was missing the presence of a certain person of the male species.

"It's nothing," replied Videl as she tried to pry her eyes away from the empty seat. I hope you're okay Gohan, she thought.

Don't worry Videl, everything's fine, said a voice inside Videl's head. Like a hawk, Videl's eyes scanned the room but were unable to find the source of the voice. Every other sound in the room was turned down to zero as she focused solely on the voice.

Gohan where are you? She thought realising that he was communicating with her through their mental link.

I'll see you soon, don't worry yourself.

With that the connection was cut and Videl felt a smile spread across her lips as the bell rang signalling the end of class. She waited until most of the class had packed up their gear before she began to pack her own things. Before long she melded into the crowd on her way to her Advanced Science class. Had she not heard that voice from before, she would have been convinced that the lesson would have been cancelled.

Videl braced herself as she opened the door for what lay on the other side. Breathing deeply, she turned the handle to find Gohan and Trunks having a friendly conversation. She didn't know what to think either, both of them looked like they had just stepped out of a warzone yet they didn't play the part, they both looked perfectly fine. Their heads turned as Videl closed the door. "You get my message Videl?" asked Gohan.

"Yea, it's going to take me a while to understand this whole mental link thing. Kami knows how I'm going to handle this 'Mating Process' thing you were talking about earlier," said Videl as she placed her books on a bench. Without any hesitation she leapt up and sat on the bench next to her books, this was the only lesson where she could get away with it. Trunks was leaning against his table while Gohan was leaning against the bench next to Videl's.

"I'm sure you two will be able to manage it, you should only hear thoughts which are directed at one another. I was telling Gohan that when you contacted him before it was because you were directing your thoughts at him. When you try to contact one another it feels like a slight tingling in your mind and if you open it up you create a temporary bond," explained Trunks as he took a sip of his morning coffee. He had quickly grabbed a cup before the lesson had begun.

"I see. I was wondering," said Videl capturing their attention. "Could it be possible if you told me a little about our heritage?"

"Our heritage?" repeated Gohan.

"I mean your heritage, you know the whole Saiyan thing," said Videl corrected her personal mistake. I've got to be more careful, I never knew hiding a secret this big could be uncovered in an instance. Thankfully she had thought that thought to herself and as such Gohan had not heard it.

"So what do you want to know?" asked Gohan.

"What type of people were they?" she asked.

"They were very human like in appearance and could easily be mistaken for humans but it was their passion for fighting which separated them from the rest," explained Gohan, reciting the very words Vegeta had told him many years earlier. "They did not prey on the weak, instead they went out in search of the strongest opponents they could find to push themselves to the limit. It was due to this fact, that they were feared across the galaxy when the entire population became slaves."

"Who could enslave an entire race?" asked Videl.

"He went by the name of Frieza, and he was feared across all the galaxies," explained Gohan. "He was a vicious tyrant who forced the Saiyans to purge planets that he didn't believe should exist. However, it was due to our society's strength that he grew scared of what we could accomplish. Vegeta showed me a video of a single Saiyan warrior standing up to Frieza, a warrior who stood up with the pride of an entire populace."

"I've seen that video," added Trunks. "Father said he stole a copy of the footage from that day that was stored away in the ship he was being held hostage on."

"He sounds like a brave man," admired Videl.

Gohan smiled weakly, "He was my grandfather."

Videl didn't know how to take this one piece of information. "I wondered where you got all your courage from," she said after a few seconds.

Gohan continued, "He fought with everything he had, and as such he died like a true warrior when Frieza eradicated the entire populace by blowing up the planet." Videl felt like arguing that it was impossible for one being to destroy a planet but Cell had made that same threat several years earlier on national television. "Frieza only left a few personal Saiyan warriors alive including Trunks' father and my own dad," Gohan concluded.

"I feel honoured to be part of such a strong civilization," Videl said saying her thoughts out loud.

"How are you part of our civilization?" asked Trunks thinking something was askew.

Videl's eyes widened as she tried to cover her mistake. "I mean once Gohan and I mate I will become part of the community won't I?" she said. Holy shit I just admitted that Gohan and I will mate.

Yes you did Videl.

Could you not invade my thoughts at this time?

Sorry.

The bond was broken and Videl exhaled, glad that she had covered up her mistake. "What about Krillen? Isn't he part Saiyan too?" she asked changing the topic.

"No, he is full grown human," said Gohan.

"How can a human be that strong?" asked Videl.

"It's not from physical or psychological strength but by spiritual strength," explained Gohan.

"Spiritual as in religion?" said the confused Satan girl.

"Spiritual, as in the spirit within your body," explained Gohan. "Our spirits are what drive us through day to day activities, but they also harness a great power. If you can tap into your spirit you can channel ki which is an energy source."

"Okay you lost me at ki," stated Videl.

"This is ki," said Trunks as he produced a small yellow ball in the hand not holding his coffee. Videl stared at the yellow orb, mesmerised by the sight of it. The energy vanished as Trunks turned his attention to the door. Gohan followed suit and Videl just looked at the door in confusion. Suddenly it burst open and Chibi Trunks rushed in.

"GOHAN SAVE ME!"

...

Another chapter done. I'm slowing it down a bit so that the story can flow a little more smoothly; this also gives me a chance to try things I haven't done before. We'll just see where this goes. Please review, as you can see from the top I take all reviews seriously.
