Chapter 25: XXV, End of the road.

Note: My original title was XXV, so I decided to keep that part with the new title as well. Haha ;]

Goku and Chi Chi were up especially early. The table was clean, and Goku was sitting at it. He was wearing his orange pants and blue belt, but had a white muscle shirt on instead of his blue shirt. Chi Chi gave him a cup of coffee, Bardock then woke up and joined Goku.

"Good morning Kakarrot." Said Bardock as he sat down at the table.

"Hello Dad." Said Goku.

Chi Chi sat at the table. "Jeez, why is it so hot in this house?"

"Don't know, I'll go turn on the A.C." Said Goku. He walked away from the table to turn on the Air Conditioner.

Goten got up and walked out to the kitchen to the living room. "Hello guys." Said Goten with a yawn.

"Good morning Goten." Said Chi Chi. "How was your sleep?"

"It was alright, not bad. Almost like sleeping in my bed." Goten yawned again.

"Yeah," Said Bardock, "He slept like a baby in that recliner, I don't know how Gohan can sleep in there with him though. He snores like crazy."

"Yeah," Said Chi Chi, "Darn, I wish that lazy bum would wake up already."

"Why?" Said Goku, "So you can bust on him, or maybe hit him with a frying pan?"

"Ha ha, really funny Goku."

Just then, Gohan's door opened up, and Gohan walked out, wearing his usual G.I pants, and a white muscle shirt. He looked at his father, Gohan was obviously still tired.

"Ah man." Said Goku, "You stole my idea, Gohan." Goku was also wearing his G.I pants and a white muscle shirt. "I'm glad I wear orange."

Gohan just flashed the peace sign at his father and walked outside.

Videl walked out of the room next, she was more awake than Gohan was.

"Well good morning Videl." Said Chi Chi, "How did you sleep." Chi Chi was clearly trying to make it known that she knew what Gohan and Videl did the previous night.

It went over Videl's head. "I slept great. It was a little cold though, Gohan had the window wide open."

"Yeah," Said Goku, "I do that all the time too. I don't know why it was so hot this morning though."

Videl yawned. "So Goku, are you going to keep your tail?"

"I think so, it did help me in my last few battles after all." Goku sighed, "Besides, I'd never hear the end of it from Vegeta." Goku looked at Videl, "Hey, where is your tail?"

"Oh that?" Said Videl, "Under my night gown, wrapped around my waist. I don't want it to get in the way."

"Oh, I see." Goku took a sip of his coffee. "Hey, what's the matter with Gohan? He looks like he just got hit by a Vegeta."

"He um..." Videl bit her lip, "He tripped over his laundry basket, he forgot it was next to his bed."

"Well," Said Chi Chi, "That's what you get when you had a party the previous night."

"Chi Chi!" Snapped Goku, who fell out of his chair. "Ouch..." Said Goku on the floor.

Gohan walked back in. "Much better."

"And where did you go handsome?" Said Videl.

"To take a swim." Said Gohan, he looked at his Mom.

"Gohan, congratulations!" Yelled Chi Chi.

"What? What did I do that was so great?" Gohan looked at his mother confused like.

"You're becoming a man Gohan!" Said Chi Chi. At that point, it was clearly obvious that Chi Chi knew what happened, and Gohan realized it.

Gohan looked at his father, who had just gotten to his feet. "Dad!" Gohan snapped. "You promised!"

"Uh oh, I better run." Goku began to laugh.

"You're damn right!" Yelled Gohan.

Goku's face became serious, he then turned into a Super Saiyan. Gohan as well. This caused a lot of wind inside of the house.

"Hey hey hey!" Yelled Chi Chi, "You two ain't fighting in the house."

"It's not a fight." Said Goku. "It's a race." Goku then sped off out the door. Gohan followed.

Chi Chi peered out the door and saw the two Super Saiyans flying off, Goku clearly having the advantage in speed, he had been awake longer, plus he had coffee, Super Saiyans Plus Coffee equals mad speed. "A race? What dorks." Said Chi Chi.

Videl looked at Chi Chi. "So... you know?" Videl blushed.

"Yes, Goku made it way too obvious." Said Chi Chi, "Why would you two be aloud to sleep in there but Goten wasn't?"

"Oh... right... he he." Videl's head dropped down.

Chi Chi walked to her and gave her a hug. "No worries Videl." Videl looked up. "Come on, help me cook breakfast."

Videl smiled. "Sure!"

A few hours passed, Videl, Bardock, Goten and Chi Chi were in the living room. The door flew open with Goku and Gohan walking in. They were soaked, and Gohan's clothing was ripped up.

Videl and Chi Chi gasped.

"Gohan," Said Chi Chi, "What happened to you, you look like hell."

"Wow, I guess that was some race." Said Videl.

"Yup," Said Goku, "He chased me around the mountains, through rivers and lakes, all around cities, we went all over the world.

Gohan coughed. "Yeah, we were soaked, tired, and then Vegeta came out of no where and attacked me."

"Why would he do something like that?" Asked Chi Chi.

"Because of the 'party,' Chi Chi" Said Goku in a whisper. "Vegeta sensed, it was his congratulations, and, in Vegeta's words, 'thanks for keeping me up all night, kid' thing."

"Dad! Enough!" Snapped Gohan.

"Gosh, he was that angry?" Said Videl.

"Vegeta is a spaz case anyway!" Snapped Gohan. He then relaxed and sighed. "I'm sorry Mom, I kept it from you, and..."

"Gohan..." Said Chi Chi, "It's fine, I'm not mad, you're growing up, and you need to learn."

"Riiight... I understand." Dad's right, mom is acting quite strange lately. Gohan yawned and went into the bathroom to clean up, then he joined his family in the living room. They were all sitting around talking.

"Oh, hold on." Said Videl, "Everyone come outside for a minute." Everyone looked at each other strangely and then went outside. Once outside, Videl looked at the group behind her and spoke. "Okay, I'm not sure how this is going to work," Said Videl, "But, I want to try."

Goku smiled. "What'cha got for us?"

"You'll see." Said Videl. Alright, hope it works again. Videl gathered energy, it was more natural now that her saiyan side had been unleashed. Her body then flashed, causing a light to surround them, then when the light disappeared, Videl was standing upright, her hair had a reddish tint, and had the same aura surround her like she did when Cooler got her royally pissed off the day before. The differences were, she wasn't royally pissed off, and her eyes didn't go all white.

The group just stared in shock. Gohan was lost. "How... did you..."

Goku was smiling. "So, I guess I was wrong... You can control it now."

"Sort of." Said Videl. "I snuck out of bed this morning because I had some odd feeling, it was like a voice telling me to go outside. So I went, then i felt this surge of power, and then... this happened."

"Ten Minutes." Said Goku. Videl nodded. "You can only sustain this form for ten minutes. It's always going to be that way."

Videl lowered her power back to normal, causing the aura to go away. "Yeah, so what would you say about it?"

"I would call it Super Saiyan, but there are some factors missing." Goku took a breath. Then began. "First of all, your hair doesn't turn blond like ours does, your eyes stay the same, and your power level is only three quarters of what a Super Saiyan's power should be at."

"Oh, I see." Said Videl with a sigh.

"Don't sweat it, train enough, and you'll bring that power level up, I'll just call it Super Videl!" Videl looked at Goku sheepishly. Bardock coughed and mumbled to himself. "You're a tough girl Videl, and besides." Goku slapped Gohan on the back. "I'm going to need someone to keep him in line."

Gohan looked at his father. "Keep me in line? What about you?"

"Gohan... That's what I am for." Chi Chi said smiling with her eyes closed. "Women always win Gohan."

Gohan sighed. "Damn... well, I'm glad I know now then, I don't want to get hit with a frying pan."

Goku began talking with his mouth full. "Ya know... I'd be careful *Munch Munch Munch* Those girls man, they're tough, *Munch munch Munch Swallow*"

"Dad?" Said Gohan. "Where on Earth did you get that roast beef?"

Goku smiled. "Super Speed Gohan, in and out of the house like that." Goku winked.

"Weirdo." Said Gohan.

"Time to go back insi whoa!" Goku tripped over Chi Chi's leg and smashed into the ground. "Ouch, what was that for?"

"Oh, I don't know," Said Chi Chi, "Maybe because you just ate tonight's main course for dinner."

"Oh," Said Goku, "Sorry."

The group laughed together then went back inside, Goku didn't follow though, he instead left. Everyone was in the living room, and Goku returned with the biggest fish he had ever caught. "Well, I Found more food!" Yelled Goku. The fish hardly fit through the door. They all laughed when Goku fell while trying to get it in. Gohan cheered up, he felt happy, he had his dream girl, and his family. Peace had found it's way back to the world, and Gohan felt that no one could take it away.

Two Weeks Later:

Gohan and Videl had been enjoying their time together. After Videl went home, Gohan would go over and see her each day, be it for a long time, or just a little while. Gohan had gotten over the fact that his mother knew about the 'party', and was no longer angry with his father for slipping up and letting her know. He just kept flying around. Today, he was wearing one of his father's G.I, and his hair had grown out some, two locks of hair hung down in his face rather than one. A disturbance was taking place that day however, a bank robbery, nothing Gohan couldn't handle.

"Hey, I said Give me the Money!" Yelled a tall man. He was wearing a mask, an olive drab military uniform, and wielded an M4.

The banker was scared out of his mind, he quickly gathered up the money.

A tall man with a metal face approached the tall masked man. "Are we finished here?"

"Yes, he just handed me the bag, this should be great, we..." The ground shook, the men looked outside, all of their men had been knocked out due to a small explosion.

They both ran outside. They looked around, freaking out. Both yelling at the men, but they got no response. Then, two shadows covered the them. They looked up to the roof of the building across the street. On the roof, two figures stood. Gohan and Videl.

The men got irritated. "How could you have taken all of these men out, it's not possible!"

"Sorry to disappoint you, but yes it is." Said Gohan in a stern voice, his tail floating around behind him.

"Gohan, why aren't we in our Saiyaman outfits?" Said Videl quietly.

"No need for them anymore, let's just clean up this mess and get out of here."

They both looked down at the two crooks. The crooks smirked. The masked man yelled. "Hey, what'cha gonna do about it kid!"

Gohan and Videl nodded at each other. They both yelled. "This!" Then a flash of light consumed them. Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan, his hair was longer, so it look on a resemblance to his father's Super Saiyan look. Videl had powered up to her 'Super Videl' state, as named by Goku two weeks prior. Gohan pulled a red head band out of his pocket and put it on his head. His outfit displayed respect for his Father, Goku, and his Grand Father, Bardock. Then the duo flew down to the road together, each taking their selected opponents.

Gohan took on the Metal Faced man, the fought quite a battle. The Metal Faced man was fast and strong, but Gohan gained the advantage quickly, due to his opponents lack of power. Gohan and the man fought with quick punches and kicks. The man pushed Gohan back and pulled out a gun, Gohan smirked and pointed his hand out forward. He charged a small ki blast and fired it at the metal man. The blast knocked him out cold, then Gohan tied him up and hung him from the stop light.

Videl was lightning fast, she was toying with the tall masked man. She had appeared to run around the man at least ten time in a square, but she had actually went around 100 times, causing the Aura to linger, looking like a fire around the man. The man was very confused, but didn't need to worry about that anymore. He found himself eating a fist to the face from Videl, which knocked him clean out. He too was hung from the stop light. Both criminals would be picked up by police later on.

Gohan and Videl powered down and took off. They flew to a cliff just outside of the city. Once at the cliff, they sat down looking out on the city. Gohan took off the head band and put it back in his pocket. They sat next to each other, Videl had her tail around Gohan, and Gohan had his around her.

"Gohan?" Said Videl.

"Yes?" Said Gohan.

Videl leaned into his side. "Forever?" Said Videl.

A simple word that Gohan agreed with. "Yes Videl, forever."

"Hey, last week, you said you were going to visit Vegeta?" Said Videl.

Gohan laughed. "Yeah, I paid him a little visit."

"What did you guys do?" Said Videl with curiosity.

"I simply did to him what he did to me." Said Gohan. "Blasted him out of the sky when he was training with Trunks. Trunks laughed his ass off. It was great."

"Was Vegeta mad?"

"No, he said he had expected it, Saiyans tend to get each other back." Gohan turned to Videl. "Well, lets just enjoy life together.

"Hmm..." Said Videl.

"We won't live forever, we have to live how we want to live now, because once we go, we're gone." Gohan sighed. "I just want you to know, I love you, and always will, and that's how I want to live."

Videl smiled. "I love you too Gohan." Gohan leaned into Videl for a kiss. Once their lips met, they locked, and didn't unlock, for about 20 seconds. Once they released, they laid down in the grass, looking up at the sky.

In a tree behind them, a tall boy, late teens, was leaning against the tree, wearing a black jacket with a white under shirt, faded blue jeans, long blond hair hanging down, and a black fedora. He had a pair of sun glasses on, when he looked up, he took the sun glasses off. He sighed and looked at the two. "Young love." Said the boy. He turned around.

Gohan sat up and looked at the tree, there was nothing there. "Did you hear something Videl?"

"No Gohan, I was almost asleep." Said Videl. "Get back down here." Videl grabbed Gohan and pulled him down, giving him a kiss. He then laid on the side of her and forgot about the noise, figuring it was just the wind.

But it wasn't wind. The final scene, the boy is walking away from the tree, what is visible behind him goes blurry, and he stops. Imagine him looking at you face to face with is hazel eyes and a smile. Then he speaks. "Till next time my friends." The boy then disappears, and the last thing seen is the tree, the cliff, Gohan and Videl asleep together, and a view of Satan City. The world is safe, life goes on.

The Final Chapter of the Story has come to a close, stick around though the next chapter will contain a special note among other things. See ya!
