Chapter 14
Deadly Secrets
After the large energy passed, Bulma revealed her secret before anyone could wonder about it.
"22's DNA is a mix of Goku and Vegeta's. It's more Vegeta's though," she said very quickly.
"What? How would you know?" Gohan asked.
"Well… the forensics team called me from work one day to investigate the body and I pocketed one of the hairs on the clothing that they missed. I took it here, analyzed it and I saw it closely resembled their DNA. There was a difference though, it was trying to separate."
"Why would this matter? It just means Dr. Gero created an imperfect Saiyan clone. We can deal with it."
"No, I mean that… could you look either your father or Vegeta in the face and kill them? Could you bring yourself to do that?"
"Sure I, I mean I think I, I mean…." Gohan was hopelessly floundering now.
Videl sighed. She needed to help him out.
"Gohan, all you have to do is remember it's not them. It might be hard, but you are smart, you can do it. Just, um… think of a time they really made you angry. There has to be a time like that." She explained.
"Well, I can think of a ton of times Vegeta's pissed me off, most of them before he started living on earth, but for dad… none off the top of my head," Gohan said.
Bulma backhanded him and gave him a scolding look for swearing while Videl giggled.
They walked out of the kitchen together, leaving Bulma and Vegeta alone when Gohan realized she was talking to him.
"Does this mean that you-" he started to say.
"Gohan," she interrupted, "I think I love you."
Gohan blushed a deep red and hugged Videl.
"Um… this is a very awkward time to say I'm going to be gone tomorrow."
Videl started acting angry, though she was only pretending.
"Hmph! And here I thought I was you're girlfriend! You should have told me sooner."
"B-but Vegeta just gave me the idea to train tomorrow, please don't be mad."
Videl busted up laughing. "I'm not mad Gohan! I already planned to go shopping with Erasa tomorrow, anyway."
Gohan looked at her and then hugged her. "I love you, Videl."
With that, they went to bed.
(Next day, Videl)
"Wait, wait, wait! You two kissed already? Wow! Never thought you and Gohan would kiss so soon! Oh, and nice hair by the way," Erasa said.
"Thanks, and yeah… I never thought we'd kiss so soon either."
"We'd better get to shopping though."
They had no idea that two problems had gotten into the mall today though…
(Trunks and Goten)
"I don't think this is a good idea, Trunks," Goten said.
"Come on, don't be such a baby. All we're doing is getting some candy," Trunks said.
"But Ms. Bulma said we're not allowed!"
"Come on, mom was just kidding. What could possibly go wrong!"
So they went into the candy store and were greeted by an angry guard.
"You kids aren't allowed here," he said.
"I'm Trunks Briefs, heir to Capsule Corp. how could I not be allowed in?"
"You're mother sent us a name and picture of you and told us to not let you in this store anymore. We can't deny Capsule Corp's power. Now get out!"
Trunks and Goten sat outside on the bench a few minutes later. Goten had to explain the reasons they shouldn't beat up the guard, the main reason being Vegeta.
"What are we gonna do now that we can't have candy Goten?" he asked.
"Hmmm…" Goten was thinking when they saw someone holding a gun up to the owner of a store nearby. "I got it! Let's play super hero! We need a disguise though…"
"We could just power up to Super Saiyan, Goten."
"Okay!"
With that, they went to the bathrooms and powered up in the stalls. They ran out and up to the thief in the store.
"Two little blonde kids think they can be heroes, huh? Then take this!" the thief said before emptying his gun on them. All it did was put some holes in the chests of their clothes.
"Why don't we deal with this fast, sidekick," Trunks said in his most heroic voice.
"Awww, why do I have to be the sidekick, Tru-" Goten started to say.
"Shhhh! You'll blow our cover!"
"Oh, sorry um… we're here to stop you, villain!" Goten said heroically.
With that, Trunks jumped up and kicked the thief in the face while Goten followed by sweeping away his legs. They then left the man fall and stood heroically over him, with Trunks holding up two fingers in the piece symbol.
They soon found that this wasn't the end of their problems however whenever they heard a menacing voice announcing they had taken over the mall.
"Come on, let's tie this guy up and deal with the boss," Trunks, after saying this, asked the man in the clothing shop if he sold ties or scarves. They then got some and restrained the thief with those.
They moved straight to where they could sense the largest ki. There, the food court, was Videl, dealing with a bunch of crooks while another girl sat behind a barricade made of a few tables and watched in fear. Trunks and Goten quickly joined her and together they fought off some crooks with very low ki's.
It didn't take long with the three of them as the Goten took one corner, spinning one crook in a circle very fast to knock some of the others down and then throwing him. He dealt with the few remaining where he was by hand with a few simple punches to the gut.
Trunks had little trouble as well as he merely fazed in and out chopping every one of the crooks in their necks to knock them out. He landed and the girl behind the table barricade screamed as the last of the crooks that he was dealing with pointed a shotgun at him. He merely bent back the muzzle and punched the guy in the face, probably breaking the man's nose.
Videl had a harder time though. She had training but she still didn't know how to deal with crooks with Goten and Trunks's speed and accuracy. She dealt a few punches and kicks, but there were still 5 left and they all had guns. She disarmed a few with a kick, but she knew she couldn't deal with all of them as fast as a Saiyan could. Then it happened.
In an explosion of wall a man with flaming hair appeared and easily dealt with the few remaining crooks. He looked back at Videl and frowned.
"You're telling me that these pathetic crooks were too much for a warrior being trained by Kakarot's first spawn? Miserable Earthlings!" said a very pissed SS Vegeta.
"I'm sorry 'Prince' maybe it's a little harder for a human to fight off all these crooks!" Videl said to him.
"It doesn't matter. Now, Trunks and Kakarot's second spawn, cover the north side of the mall! I'll cover the south side since it has more ki's. And you, miserable earthling, will move the survivors out!" Vegeta explained his plan.
"Wow, that's actually a very good plan!" Videl said
"Wait, what's a 'Kakarot?'" Goten asked.
"YOU'RE MISERABLE THIRD CLASS CLOWN OF A FATHER NOW, FOLLOW THE PLAN!" Vegeta yelled.
When Trunks and Goten didn't move Vegeta sent a death-glare and Trunks said, "We want candy if we do this."
"You do this and you live! That's my deal!"
"But dad!"
"Actually, they act insane on chocolate. If you want to get out of here fast, give them a sugar-rush." Videl said.
Vegeta caved and gave Trunks and Goten each a chocolate bar.
(5 minutes later)
Trunks and Goten had gone insane on a sugar-rush, the north side of the mall no longer had walls, benches, or most decorations. The thieves all laid where they were, some knocked out, some driven to the brink of insanity by children who shot beams from their hands. Some of the latter ones were rocking back and forth mumbling about tricks, some with burn marks, others with missing limbs.
" (Translation: Hey Goten what do you say we just go and help dad in the south side of the mall)?" Trunks asked.
"Okay!" Goten said.
They went down there and came upon a shocking scene. A completely robotic man was fighting Vegeta, and losing pathetically. He was already missing an arm, looked like he had hair on his head before, and no one could miss the gigantic hole where his… 'special' place, used to be.
"Dadwhathappenedhere (Dad what happened here)!" Trunks asked.
"Yeah!" Goten added.
"This son of a bitch mocked me, the Prince of all Saiyans! So I shot some ki blasts at him to make sure he died in the most painful way imaginable!" Vegeta yelled.
"Thenwhyisn'thedeadyet (Then why isn't he dead yet)?" Trunks asked.
"Because I said the 'most painful way imaginable' did I not! I'm going to end it now though!"
With that, Vegeta ran forward, punched a giant hole through Mercenary Tao's chest, and blasted his head to pieces. Trunks, Goten, and Vegeta then flew off, letting Videl behind to deal with the interrogations.
They were at home a bit later and as soon as Goten and Trunks stepped in the door they collapsed out of exhaustion.
Vegeta carried them in and dropped them on a bed. Then Bulma walked in and saw the two of them.
"Did you give them chocolate Vegeta?" she whispered.
"Yes, but they must have burnt the sugar off faster as Super Saiyans." Vegeta explained.
"Okay, let's go to bed."
(Next day)
Gohan woke them up and dragged them downstairs to see the news.
"… and so, from eye-witness accounts, we have concluded that two small, blonde-haired boys were, in fact, at the scene of the crime yesterday. We saw no trace of them so we suspect they fled after the thieves were apprehended. We have heard they did know martial arts. There was also reports of a blonde, flaming-haired man attacking some of the thieves, including their leader, whose gruesome, cyborg remains were found at the scene. We have not yet concluded how they escaped but…"
"So Vegeta, you have fun yesterday?" Bulma asked.
"Why did you leave me to deal with the interrogators!" Videl yelled.
"What did I miss?" Gohan asked.
A/N: Sorry this took so long to get out but when I tried to finish it, I got a serious headache and could barely sleep and other days I was busy. Sorry I can't congratulate all the people who pushed me over 100 reviews L. Just know you have my thanks. Also I had to add translations since I typed it and I barely understood what they were saying. ? Allthewords-wouldbejampacked (Translation: I mean, could you imagine a world without spaces? All the words would be jam-packed.) That's my sugar-rush Goten and Trunks, could you imagine a sugar-rush Gotenks? (scared face 0.0) Hmmm, ideas, ideas…. So anyway, thanks again and I got to go now. Bye!
