Whyyyyyy. I'm trying all these lines and stars and stuff to separate the different sequences but none of them work. They won't show up in the fic. Okay, someone is going to have to tell me what I'm doing wrong here, other than all the typo's and missing words. Another thing, this is another shortish chapter. Sorry guys, but it's either this or nothing at all, and I won't be able to update again until Sunday, since I'm working pretty much from six in the morning till ten at night tomorrow. What a way to spend Saturday. So yeah sorry Gohanfanfics, I'll try and make the next one longer.

Well let's talk about a minor event from last chapter. Vegeta getting a scratch from being hit by the side mirror of a car. As many of you pointed out, a car can't hurt Vegeta. Besides getting hit by a car mirror wouldn't give you a cut anyways, you just get a big bruise. I know from experience. However for the purpose of I wanted a reason for Bulma to drag Vegeta home, and I couldn't think of anything better than actually attaining a miniscule injury, he got a cut anyway.

Well I don't have anything else to say other than this. If anyone here can think of a better summary for this fic, then tell me. I don't like the current one I have but I can't think of anything better.

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball Z or any of its friends.

Bulma stood in the middle of her living room, hand on her chin and deep in thought. Vegeta was there too with a large grin on his face, looking like both Christmas and his birthday had come all at once.

"So Mr Satan's been kidnapped? How do you expect me to find him," she said, looking down at the two teens in front of her. Said teens turned to look at each other then back to Bulma.

"I thought you might have some gadget, like an afro radar or something," said Gohan, trying to think of exactly what Bulma could actually do.

"Sorry Kid, but I don't think I've got anything like that," said Bulma, holding back a chuckle. Now was not a time for laughter.

"Gohan, did you see anything suspicious when you went to pick up Videl this morning?" she asked, looking down at him.

Gohan gave it some thought.

"I don't think so," he said, giving a shrug.

"There was a blue van," said Videl, causing all eyes to turn towards her. "The area surrounding the mansion is a private estate, so it's weird to see cars round there anyway. And if you're going to kidnap someone you almost always put them in the back of a van."

Bulma's eyes widened slightly.

"A blue van you say, kind of like the one that hit you Vegeta."

Vegeta's evil grin was replaced with a frown.

"Are you suggesting they're the same van," he said, to which Bulma gave a nod.

"There's a possibility. And if you remember I got the asshole's licence plate too."

Bulma gave a big smile.

"Looks like you're in luck Kids, we might be able to save Mr Satan after all."

"Why are you coming Vegeta?" asked Gohan, looking up to the man who was following them. The man grinned back down at them. It had taken Bulma less than ten minutes to locate the Van. Gohan didn't even know how she did it. She just out the licence plate number into a big computer and suddenly recordings from every speed camera in the city popped up on the screen. She'd been able to figure out where they were going from which speed camera's they appeared in, giving them a rough guess as to which area they were in. She'd then told them to go search the area before calling the poice.

"Because those assholes had the nerve to hit me with their puny earth Vehicles," he said, a slight grin forming on his face when he imagined what he was going to do to the driver of the van once he found him.

"Gohan, does this guy think he's the Hulk, he keeps calling everything puny?" said Videl, giving Vegeta an odd look.

"What's the Hulk?" asked Gohan, his voice filled with genuine curiosity. Videl just sighed in response to the question.

"Look brats, enough Chit-chat. We'll split up and look for the van," growled Vegeta.

They were in a pretty run down part of the city. Mainly it was just a big bunch of old warehouses.

"Videl, if you find something just flare your Ki and we'll come find you," Gohan told her. Videl just nodded her head, and with one last look at each other the two went their separate ways. Vegeta just gave a snort before he too began to walk off.

"Well Mr Satan, I shall start by explaining what you can do for us, and what we can do for you," said the man in the gold mask, his voice all together light yet with a sinister undertone. "What we would like you to do is give an accurate description of the true events of the Cell games. Now we want none of your lies here please."

Hercule couldn't help but gulp. He had to find a way out of this. There had to be some way he could escape.

"Y-Y-You said you could do something for me," he nervously stammered. "I-I don't see what I can gain from d-dealing with f-f-freaks like you,"

"But of course there's something you can gain, for starters if you tell us what we want to know we will let you leave here more or less unharmed. We will never bother you again. We just wish to know the truth Mr Satan, and as far as we are aware you are the only one who knows it."

Hercule gulped. He was very afraid right now.

"I-I don't know anything," he said. "I've already said everything I know during my press conferences. I swear it was all the truth."

The man in the gold mask gave a sigh.

"To think here we have the champion of martial arts snivelling like the coward he really is. That is the truth isn't it Mr Satan. You are a coward. You fought Cell only when you believed you had a chance of winning, but once you realised that was not the chance, you made excuses. You stalled. What was you said, stomach cramps?"

He nodded to one of the other men who promptly got up. He walked calmly over to Hercule, who gave a whimper as the man approached. Without a word, the masked man drove a fist into Hercule's stomach, causing him to gasp out in pain.

"Mr Satan, all I am requesting from you is the true events of what happened that day. You will soon find I am not a very patient man Mr Satan, so you had better start talking."

Videl was walking calmly among the ware houses sparing quick glances left and right. It was strange, she felt rather exposed here. Even though it hadn't snowed the last few days the snow was still fresh and crisp here, showing just how little people came here. Her scrunch sound made by her foot hitting the snow was the only thing she could hear, and it was kind of creeping her out. She was on edge. She was looking around carefully hoping to spot a hint of blue in the otherwise white area. She felt herself shiver a little. She really didn't like being out in the open here. There wasn't even a single other foot print in the snow. She wanted to get away somewhere safe, but at the same time there was no way she could just abandon her Dad. Suddenly an idea clicked in her head.

She closed her eyes and focused. Ki began to build beneath her feet. The snow around her boots began to move as energy gathered there. She kept her focus and slowly she felt herself rise. She didn't carry open her eyes just yet though. She let herself go higher and higher until finally she opened she stopped.

Opening her eyes she squinted down below her. She was a good twenty feet in the ait, and above the warehouse rooftops. Smiling to herself she flew slowly over the warehouses until finally she found something that looked like tire tracks.

She landed softly but soon staggered.

'That takes way too much out of me,' she thought to herself.

Now following the tire tracks it didn't take her long to finally find the blue van. Grinning to herself Videl prepared to flare her ki to signal Gohan.

…

'How exactly do I flare my ki.'

Videl frowned upon realizing she hadn't learnt how to do that.

She looked over to the warehouse.

'Maybe I can make some kind of loud noise instead.'

She thought about it but realised that would just tell the kidnappers that someone was out here.

'Well guess I'll just check the surrounding warehouses.'

On the third Warehouse she'd infiltrated Videl finally managed to find her father. She'd floated up to a window which she was able to squeeze through. She'd crawled around the rafters until eventually she'd spotted them far down below. Four men, three in blue and one of them a large man ties to a chair. Definitely her father. She decided that the one in the middle of the three blue figures was the leader. And in the empty space of the warehouse his voice seemed to echo.

"Please now Mr Satan, you are being unreasonable. We know you are not the one to defeat Cell. We just wish for the name of whoever did. If nothing more than a hint to his true identity."

'So that's what they're after,' she thought to herself. 'But why do they want to know who defeated Cell. And why won't my father just tell them.'

She cringed at the sight of her father. He was sporting a black eye and a split lip, his head hanging backwards over his chair so she could see his face. And suddenly, she seemed to catch his eye. His mouth opened in shock for a second when he saw her, but made sure not to make any noise from his surprise.

Videl decided that she wasn't going to let these men hurt her father anymore.

Gohan, please feel this.

The leader continued to talk.

"Come now Mr Satan, we are speaking of the man for whom you stole the credit for defeating Cell. You clearly have no loyalty to whoever it was. If you do not know a name, then just describe the person to us. Was it perhaps the man with the widow's peak? Or perhaps the large green man?"

Whatever he was planning to say next was cut off as he suddenly took a step backwards just as a ball of pink energy impacted with the ground where he'd been standing a moment before.

"Looks like we have a rat," the man said, now staring up to Videl, who was suddenly feeling very scared.

"Gentlemen, if you would."

Both men beside him stuck their palms into the air and aimed them at Videl. Both charged a Ki blast and fired.

Videl gave a squeak and scrambled to get out of the way of the incoming ki blasts. They hit the rafter she was on, destroying it completely and causing Videl to fall down through the air.

It was a good drop to the bottom, but to everyone's amazement, Videl managed to catch herself, placing her energy beneath her to catch her allowing her to stop herself a metre from the floor. Videl felt her energy dissipate and she fell the last metre landing with an 'ow'.

"Videl," Mr Satan gasped at his daughter. "Run away, you shouldn't be here."

Videl chose to ignore her father and instead stood up in front of him. She faced the three men and swung her arms up besides her, standing protectively in front of Hercule.

"Leave my father alone," she bellowed.

Videl was completely aware of the tears that were running down her cheeks. She was aware that her legs were shaking and this was the most afraid she could ever remember being.

"Interesting, the hanging crane technique."

This came from the man with the golden mask. He was tilting his head as he stared at her, and Videl felt a shiver work its way up her back.

"I have always been interested in learning it. Perhaps you could help child. The basic theory would be enough. Won't you please share that technique with me?"

Videl couldn't help but blink in confusion. This man had her father tied to a chair and beaten, and he wanted her to tech him to fly?

"Are you crazy she hissed at him," then in her head, 'where the hell is Gohan.'

"I will take that answer as a no. Well it doesn't matter, I'm sure we can convince you to change your mind. Gentlemen."

The two men began walking towards her.

Videl made a swallowing sound as she eyes the approaching men.

'All right, she could do this. She'd beaten that other guy, so she could beat these too.'

Before she had time to doubt herself she shot forwards, intending on beating the man on the left down. However she found her blow quickly blocked by a forearm, and then before she could register she'd been hita a force from her right sent her flying, smashing her into some crates.

"VIDEL!" shouted Hercule, horrified at the sight if her daughter being batted away. "You leave her alone!"

But the two men ignored him, simply advancing on his daughter who was picking herself up. She had a large gash on her cheek and her jacket seemed to have been ripped off on one of the larger splinters of wood.

"They're strong," she said aloud, realizing her disadvantage at the same time. She felt rather woozy but moved forwards anyway. She was unsteady on her feet but she got into a stance anyway. Suddenly the man on the left took a step forward and lunged forward with his right arm. Videl managed to dodge out the way, attempting to step forward and drive a punch into the man's gut. But the man was quicker. He went at her with a knee, causing her to stagger out the way again.

Then the other man was there, and before she had time to react he backhanded her, sending her small frame flying back to her father's feet.

"Videl," cried the older Satan. Once again she struggled to get to her feet. Tears were pouring out her eyes now as the men approached her again.

"Enough, put her down now please," came a voice from behind the two men.

The man on the left pulled his hand back ready to strike.

Videl didn't have the strength left to fight. She'd already used so much energy flying. Instead she closed her eyes and waited for the punch to come. She heard a thud.

She waited but nothing else happened. Slowly she opened her eyes.

In front of her stood Gohan. He was holding the man's fist in his hand and the man seemed to be trying to pull his hand back.

"You did this?" hissed Gohan, and Videl had never heard him so angry. Well she'd never heard him angry period, but the voice he just used actually scared her more than the man in the golden mask had.

Gohan's free hand shot upwards towards the man's face. His fist smashed into the man's mask, and his head shot backwards. Shards of mask covered in small droplets of blood flew into the air as the man dropped backwards, completely unconscious. He crumbled to the ground and Gohan turned on the other man. He charged a Ki blast until it was as big as Mr Satan's head.

"Die!" he shouted and fired the ki blast.

Gohan just batted it away. It flew to the side where it exploded, creating a large hole in the side of the warehouse.

Gohan calmly continued walking towards the second man, who was taking step after step backwards on trembling legs.

'He's terrified,' realized Videl. 'Terrified of Gohan."

"Perhaps I can sort this," said the man in the golden mask, stepping forwards. He had both his hand held up in a gesture of surrender. He nodded to the other masked man who seemed to get whatever his leader was doing.

"You seem very powerful," said the man with the golden mask. "I would very much like to talk to you. However I appreciate that right now you may not be in the best of moods."

The man quickly shifted the position of his hands, causing four fingers to point inwards to his head. Gohan's eyes widened seeming to realize what he was doing.

"Solar flare," said the man, and Videl could swear she could hear a hint of smugness in his voice. Then there was a blinding white light. Videl had to shield her eyes and when she could see again, all three masked men were gone.

For a moment there was nothing but silence. Then Gohan spun on his heels he rushed over to Videl ad before she could protest he had her in a bone crushing hug.

"G-Gohan," she whispered not sure what else to say.

Suddenly he was holding her at arm's length.

"Idiot," he suddenly yelled at her. "You should have waited. Why didn't you flare your Ki?"

Videl stared open mouthed at Gohan. Had he just yelled at her?

"I-I,… You didn't…,"

Then her eyes watered up once more and before Gohan could shield his ears Videl broke out crying.

Yeah, by crying I mean the really loud kind, not just tears running down your face. Well next chapter you're all going to learn just what Vegeta's been doing while all that was going on. I'm sure your all interested.

Before I forget, anyone interested in being a Beta for this story. A lot of people have suggested I get one. And before I forget, dbz Lover, I want to know what the last half of your review was going to be before you 'scratched it out.' Can you tell me? pleeeeaaase
