Videl's eyes fluttered open for what seemed the tenth time that day. The sun still crept through the canopy and the birds still chirped away and Gohan remained in his meditative pose as he hung upside down by the tail stretching out of his backside. Finally deducing that this wasn't a dream, she decided to get to her feet. However as she stood up she found her balance uneasy, as if something weighed her down from behind. She fell over with a thud, jerking Gohan out of his meditation. Opening an eye, he could see Videl trying to get back on her feet with a large stick in hand for balance. With a smile he reached up with a hand and grabbed the branch supporting him before flipping himself upright and landing on both feet.

"Gohan," Videl said weakly finding that her throat was parched from lack of liquid. "Why do you have a tail?"

"I could ask you the same question," said Gohan pointing to Videl's latest addition. Curious to what Gohan was looking at, Videl looked at her backside and promptly fainted once more, the shock being too much to bear. Gohan managed to catch Videl before she hit the ground and thus laid her softly on the soil. He was starting to get the feeling that this was going to be a lot longer than he expected.

...

"Where is he?" whined Goten. He had successfully caught his tail and as such was now bored.

"Well his ki hasn't shot up so that's a good sign," said Vegeta.

"What does the increase in ki signify?" asked Bulma.

"For example I get an increase in ki when you and I are..."

"WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR IT!" interrupted Mirai.

...

Gohan carried the water carefully as he made his way back to Videl. He was skilfully balancing the water in a exceptionally large leaf he had found near a nearby spring. Using his tail, Gohan lifted Videl's head slightly and began to pour the liquid down her throat at a slow pace. At first there was a bit of coughing and spluttering before Videl began to swallow the water pressing against her lips.

"Gohan," she said as the water supply ran out. "Am I going crazy?"

Gohan chuckled lightly at this question. "After meeting me you should have expected anything," he said with a smile.

Videl pushed herself up with her hands, her tail hanging limply on the ground as she sat and stared at Gohan. "So is a tail a Saiyan trait?" she asked.

"Yes which leads me to my question: why do you have a tail?" countered Gohan.

Videl was at a loss for words, this was not what she had wanted. Over the years at school she had been the one doing the interrogating, it came with the position but now she was being forced into a corner without much option otherwise. It wasn't one of those situations where you could say 'I don't know' and that would be the end of it. There was only one option, and Videl didn't like it one bit. "It's because I'm part Saiyan."

Gohan had expected this but it still came as a shock. Even though he was usually calm, this was something he was taking very seriously. "So you nearly had me arrested for something that you are. That makes you the ultimate hypocrite!" he all but shouted.

Videl was taken aback by his tone of voice. Even after he had been shot his voice had been menacing but not rash. His voice now was filled with built up anger and frustration. Videl couldn't help but feel tears begin to swell in her eyes. "I'm sorry Gohan; I wanted to keep this a secret."

"You wanted to keep the same secret that I have away from the only one who you could talk to? When it was just my secret I had no one to talk to but I opened up to you anyway!"

"I only found out yesterday, I wanted to tell you but I didn't know what to say. From this I was able to understand the hardships that you've had to undertake."

"You think you understand my hardships?" Videl began to realise she might have just pushed the wrong button. "You fight crime everyday Videl and you have seen pain and suffering because of it. But you will never understand my suffering!"

Videl couldn't help it but the nature of wanting to know everything just had to kick in right at this moment. "How can you be suffering more than me? I watched by mother die!"

Gohan looked at Videl and couldn't contain it anymore as his eyes flashed turquoise. "You watched your mother die," he said as Golden energy surrounded him. "I'm the cause of MY father's death!" With a final shout the energy erupted, pushing Videl back as she fought against the wind. Through squinting eyes she looked at Gohan and gasped as she saw his hair sticking upright and golden in colour. Chunks of Earth around him began to shatter and break at the sheer force of energy Gohan was producing.

"Gohan... you're a..." Videl stuttered, she couldn't grasp this information. Gohan however thought about that statement in a different way.

"I'm a murderer," said Gohan solemnly.

"How can you say that? You're one of the greatest fighters in the world," she said as Gohan powered down slightly, stopping the forceful breeze from blowing. "People look up to you, they respect the golden warriors and all that they stand for."

Gohan looked at Videl, his eyes heavy with memories of sadness. "They've got the wrong role models then," he said as the golden aura surrounded him once more. Before Videl knew what was going on he vanished, flying at speeds Videl could only just see.

"GOHAN!" she screamed, praying that her words would be heard. Heard they were, but only on deaf ears as Gohan fought back tears.

...

"Where's your mate?" asked Vegeta as Gohan entered the room. Trunks and Goten wanted to rush up to Gohan but immediately backed away when they saw the hatred in his eyes.

"Gone," he muttered before taking a place on the couch.

"Alright, now that everybody's here let's get down to business," said Bulma now that all those with tails had arrived. "Vegeta, since you're the expert what does this mean?"

"What does what mean?" he retorted.

"You know... the whole tail thing," Bulma said awkwardly.

"Simply put, since our tails have come back all at the same time it means that we are all feeling the same amount of Blutz Waves," he explained.

"Blutz Waves?" asked Goten. Clearly this talk was going to be too much for him.

"The invisible waves from the moon," explained Trunks, Vegeta having forced him to study his ancestry.

"But there's no water on the moon, in fact there is no moon," pointed out Goten.

"You have a point brat," said Vegeta. "Since there is no moon that means someone is creating artificial Blutz Waves. When it reaches a certain point we're all going to transform."

Bulma gulped, she knew exactly what that meant. Goten did not. "Does that mean we're going to transform into a Super Saiyan?"

"Not quite, when our tails are affected by the moons rays we become super strong," said Trunks proud that he knew so much more than Goten.

"Does this mean that the person creating this actually wants us to become stronger?" asked Mirai.

Gohan decided now would be a good time to put his input. "While we may get a power increase, the boys have never experienced what it is like and as such will be in a fit of rage. They will be unable to control what they do and as such will run rampant across the city. This guy we're fighting shows that he has half a brain, he is going to make us destroy the city."

"So he is making us do the dirty work," said Mirai.

"You should have figured that out by now son," said Vegeta.

"There might also be another part of this," voiced Gohan. "While we are in this state we will become vulnerable since we will be unable to control ourselves, he may attack us while we are in a weakened state. Vegeta I know you can control yourself and I think I have a little self control but there is no telling what anyone else will do. If they fight each other, they may kill one another without realising it." Both Trunks and Goten looked at each other and then at their respective tails.

"Couldn't we just get rid of these?" asked Trunks.

"With the continuous frequency of Blutz Waves they will just keep growing back, most likely more painful than the time before as it will come at a faster rate," explained Vegeta. "Also we're going to need to train your tails; they are a Saiyans weakest point."

"Even all those years ago when we were fighting you said that your tails couldn't feel anything," reminded Gohan.

"We trained them so it wouldn't hurt as much," smirked Vegeta, his tail wrapped firmly around his waist.

"May I have a word in private with you Vegeta," said Gohan standing up, his tail wrapping around his waist, showing he had complete control over it. Vegeta simply nodded as he walked out of the room with Gohan behind him, leaving Trunks, Mirai, Goten and Bulma alone. Goten thought this would be a perfect time to see the weaknesses of a tail and grabbed Trunks' with a vice grip. The scream could be heard for miles.

...

"What is it you're thinking brat?" asked Vegeta as they came to an isolated room.

"Could it be that our enemy is a Saiyan?" asked Gohan.

Vegeta was about to say that there were no Saiyans left but Gohan's mate had clearly shown that that was wrong. "Possibly, your mate has shown me that there are more Saiyans across the galaxy," he stated. "If this enemy is a Saiyan that would also put us on a level playing field as most Saiyans are at an equal level when they have transformed. It would also explain how he knows the effects of Blutz Waves."

"There is no time to train the boys is there?"

"We don't know when the frequency will be increased; as such we will not be ready. Chances are that he will strike soon and it takes months before a Saiyan can control his transformation."

"So what can we do?" asked Gohan.

"We get ready for a good fight," smiled Vegeta.

...

"Gohan, I'm so sorry," said Videl as she walked through the forest she had found herself in. Every step was awkward as she tried to keep her balance even with the make shift walking stick. She had no idea where she was going, all she knew was that she needed to find civilization soon, she wasn't used to the country.

...

"Don't you think the hair is a little too much?"

"Of course not," said the Saiyan as he completed his work.

"But with that they look exactly like the ascended version of your species."

"Precisely," smiled the Saiyan. "The people here believe that 'Golden Warriors' will come to protect them when they are in danger. This way we will be playing to their emotional needs and thus we will have complete control over them once the battle is over."

"You think of everything don't you; this plan shall not fail."

"Don't be too confident, that's what I learnt from my last plan. If my son had stuck to the plan then I wouldn't be in this situation and I would already control the universe. I learned a valuable lesson that day. But now the time is ripe for revenge."

...
