Gohan could feel her tension and weariness. I wish I knew of a way to put her at ease but what could I do to achieve that? If this situation was in reverse I know that I'd feel the same as she does. He could feel the warmth of her thighs as he continued to lay his head upon them. The way she ran her fingers through his hair was oddly reminiscent of the way his mother use to calm him down as a little boy. I'm surprised I even remember that. He began yawning. I better get up now or else I'll end up sleeping right here. He got up and sat across from Videl.
"I'm ready to be hypnotized." Videl dug through a bag next to her and pulled out a white gold pocket watch. "One of the first things we have to do is find out just how effective hypnotism is on you. I want you focus on this pocket watch and my voice." The pocket watch began to swing back and forth. He felt his eyelids get heavier but wasn't sure if it was from being tired or the watching the pocket watch as he heard Videl's voice once more. "Aware until toy ox."
Gohan shook his head. What? That made no sense. Gohan tried to form the question he had on his tongue but couldn't. He tried to move but he couldn't. What's wrong with me? His eyes were glued onto the pocket watch as he heard Videl once more. "A lee eyre opus. Sever ye ply." If Gohan would've been able to fidget he would've at that very moment. Why can't I understand you? It worried and slightly frightened him. He felt alert but sleepy as well.
"An ed effigy hit son tutor." And with that all his tension, worry and weariness eased out of him. That made no sense and yet I feel at ease somehow. Gohan's eye's lowered then shut. There was a long pause. "Freak out if shorty." Eyes still closed he felt his arms move and do something. He felt a sensation around his neck and nose then it was over. "A phew inns me fry sign a woe will yuk." He heard a snap as his eyes opened. He stood and was surprised to find that he had control of his body again. He looked down and noticed that he was shirtless.
He looked questioningly at Videl who only smiled and shrugged. "Sorry Gohan. I couldn't think of anything so I panicked and said the first thing I thought to say." I thought you were saying random gibberish, yet how could it be that if I understood it somehow? "What you said is obvious now but I want to be clear. What did you say?" Videl slightly cocked her head to the side confused. "Takeoff your shirt. That's what I said. What did you hear?" Slightly shocked Gohan tried to remember what he thought she said. "Freak out if shorty. That's what I heard."
It was Videl's turn to be shocked as she seemed to go over the sentence. A moment later she nodded. "I think in your state of mind the things I say will often come in the forms of anagrams. I knew that you could understand me but I never knew something like that could happen. Do you want to continue?" Not really but this must be done. He nodded. "Yes. We both need to know how far we can go with this." Videl looked very tense and worried as she gestured him down to the chair across from her. After putting on his shirt he sat back down. Videl took a deep breath then began to swing the pocket watch back and forth once more.
No words were needed as he fell into the trance with ease. "A hamlet sooth tip thinks row two. A honey swine lily out wry like molt. A white snowy disloyal uptown filter ugly woo chastened moms." Gohan heard the snap of her fingers. His eyes opened. He noticed Videl standing. "What happened, are we done?" Videl shook her head as she went out to the balcony and gestured him to accompany her which he did. "I want you to follow me." She took off flying as he trailed behind her. I wonder why she's so quiet and serious now. Did I do something to her I'm not aware of? Surely she would've told me but it doesn't seem as if that's it.
Three minutes passed when Videl stopped as they landed in an uninhabited area. Videl walked away from him a bit as he stood unsure as to the why of it. "Videl, is something wrong? Did I do something wrong?" She shook her head. "I'm going to test a theory. What I'm about to do is very dangerous. I need to know that in the state I'm about to put you in would you be able to stop yourself." From doing…what? "Videl I don't under-" "One!" Videl interrupted.
Gohan powered up to the max while he noticed Videl hit the red button on her watch. White hot nonsensical rage and fury came over him as he felt himself charge her. "I will kill you!" What?! No, this wrong! He felt himself pull back his fist readying to strike Videl. "Die!" He couldn't believe that he was saying those things. Move Videl! She did not. Move now!
It was as if time had slowed as Gohan watched his fist get closer and closer to hitting her face. He tried his best to prevent the strike, to hold it back but it was pointless. He wasn't in control. He was a backseat driver in his own body. If he had enough control over his body he would've shed tears for what he was about to do. "Two!" The punch stopped as a massive gust of wind caused Videl's cape to flap furiously in the wind. Gohan fell to his knees as if he were a puppet who had his strings cut. He stood on shaky legs and embraced Videl then pulled back to see if he had hurt her at all. "Why would you do that to me? What if you couldn't stop me?"
She placed her left hand along the side of his face gently. "I don't know how strong I am compared to you when I'm like this but I had a theory that needed to be proven. If you were told to kill, maim or torture you would do just that. Your thoughts wouldn't matter at all. It wouldn't give you the power to get control over your body. I could see it in your eyes as you were about to strike me that you weren't going to stop. You said before that your battle with Frost will more than likely be mental. I'm trying to figure out what commands I could use on you to help give you get some kind of edge over her that she can't take away or undo."
Gohan smiled. "You could just command me to love you and only you for one of them." Even with the helmet Gohan noticed her blush as Videl shook her head. "I thought about that but it feels wrong to me. Like I'm forcing you to-" "Feel the way I do about you right now?" Gohan interrupted. He raised an eyebrow then continued. "There's nothing wrong about that at all. You and I went to the other world to see if I could get your mother's blessing for our future together. I'm already committed to you. If you feel uncomfortable about that command you could always take it off. Even with it on nothing will change." If it somehow makes me into a better boyfriend I will definitely miss it. Videl seemed to give it some thought.
She smiled then shrugged. Then she scanned the area as if she was looking for something then stopped. "Before we get back to hypnotism there is something else I've been curious about lately and I noticed that we have all this time and space to satiate my curiosity." Videl undressed to the point where she was only wearing her watch. She struck the ground as a massive crater formed right there. So if she changes and takes off her clothes she'll still have her strength. Her clothes are her armor it would seem so I guess that would make sense…
His mind trailed as he drank in the sight of Videl in front of him. "So…?" Not sure what to ask he found that he was enjoying her rear aspect too much to form the rest of the question he forgot. Videl turned to him. "Gohan, have you ever wondered what it would be like If we made love while we were at our strongest?" He shook his head. "To be honest with you I haven't. We broke my bed the first time…even though I held back and we were at it for half a day and I wasn't exactly in control of myself."
Videl grinned. "Want to try it just this once? We're the only ones out here and I don't think we'll hurt anybody. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?" Nothing could happen. It's us under the stars. My beautiful girlfriend and I under the stars…I think I read a book with a scene like that in it before. It's romantic and perfect. Gohan took off his clothes and held her in his arms. An hour later they lain panting in the crater made from their lovemaking.
Videl giggled into his chest tickling him. "I miss something?" Catching her breath she nestled up closer to him. "We scared the dinosaurs to death in this area. I've never seen so many." Gohan ran his hand from the top of her back down to her buttocks. That was surprising. I really thought it was just us out here. They all ran and didn't bother trying to eat each other. Gohan kissed her. "Before we go do you want to stay like this for a little while?" She nodded.
So they did for roughly five minutes before getting up and putting their clothes back on. They flew home and took a shower together. When they finished they turned on the TV. "This is Mr. Condishna. Satan City is still reeling from the effects of the massive earthquake." Gohan and Videl looked to each then back to the TV. "The local seismologists are baffled as to the why of it. There were no reported casualties only a few minor injuries but as you can see here…" The camera panned a bit as buildings were shown to be slightly warped and askew.
Did we do…no we couldn't have. That's…He shook his head and continued watching. "In case you're now tuning in people are still in shock over the earthquake that started over an hour ago. From what we've heard people could feel it faintly all the way over in West City." Oh no. "Cha-la! Head Cha-la!" Gohan's phone rang as he picked it up noticing that Bulma was calling. He answered. "Hello." He heard her sigh of relief. "Good, you're okay. Any idea what caused that earthquake? Vegeta and Trunks told me that you raised your level higher than ever before so we were wondering if you were fighting off a new enemy or something along those lines."
Gohan felt blood rush to his face grateful that she couldn't see how he looked right now. "I have no idea how that happened. Videl and I were sparring earlier when it happened. We didn't notice a thing." It's not exactly a lie. Videl was far more aggressive than I expected, not that I'm complaining. Although I guess we should've expected something since each time moved my hips the trees shook. The conversation from that point went onto the topic of the flower and how he and Videl were doing. They said their goodbyes then he hung up.
"So…" Videl began. "Maybe we shouldn't do that anymore." Gohan laid his hand down atop of Videl's. "I agree, though I don't regret it. Do you?" She shook her head. "We didn't kill anybody, and that's all that matters. I still can't believe we did all that damage to the city." We rocked a very small part of the world because we love each other that much. "We did, but I think it's time to get back to the hypnotism. It's clear to me now that I won't exactly have free will as I expected. I mentioned before that Frost was able to reach my emotions. The question is what could I do that would break her psyche since I might not be able to even speak to her."
Videl rummaged through the table drawer and pulled out a deck of cards. "I have an idea. If it works it'll give us what we need to crush her in a way she won't ever forget." Videl began swinging the watch back and forth again as Gohan focused on it. His eyes lowered as he heard Videl once more. "Chains distort a chick June. A certainties lush." Gohan heard the snap of her fingers and woke. Videl held up a card. "What do you see?" Gohan grinned. "That's your father."
Videl shook her head but she smiled. "That was Jackie Chun." Gohan's jaw nearly dropped as he stared intensely at the card. "That can't be right." Videl bent over the table and kissed him. "I've noticed a few things. I don't have to command you to wake up at the sound of the snap of my fingers because I didn't get rid of it. Which means I could wake you up just by snapping my fingers if I wished to do so. I don't and I will get rid of that command before we go to sleep.
I also noticed that hypnotism shouldn't work at all like this but I guess it's different because you're a saiyan. I have one last theory left, and I can only hope that it doesn't frighten you to try." Still staring at the card he looked up to her. "What did you have in mind?" Videl grabbed the deck of cards. "I only said this card. I don't think I was at all specific. You may be a saiyan but you're not a mind reader and you can't see through closed eyelids. I was specific about who you wouldn't see but I'm not sure how accurate my command was. If I was accurate you should only see eight Hercule Satan cards. If I'm not then…" She flipped all the cards over.
Gohan's heart nearly stopped as he noticed that all fifty-two cards had nothing but Hercule Satan on it. He picked up each one studying them all hoping to see past the lies that were in front of him. This is horrifying but amazing at the same time. Because I am a saiyan it could be that we use everything we have to make the effect as complete as possible to facilitate the illusion. Could this have been a weakness to saiyans before? "I see nothing but your father."
Videl frowned. "I'm close then but I'm not sure what I could do be more precise with the command." I've played with these cards before, which means I know what his card looks like and I could readily juxtapose his image over all the other cards. It's a long shot but I think I know what we could do. "Videl, here are some of my thoughts regarding why it's different with me." For half an hour they talked as Gohan shared some of his thoughts and insight as they crafted what they believed to be clear and precise commands that would strike Frost at her core.
Watching the pocket watch sway back and forth Gohan drifted into the trance again as he heard Videl's voice. "A vogue holy ion. A phantasm throne wept a weary hour to edict odor of ego four ivy. A tinfoil you trust. A wench welshes shrinks umber eery motion hits. A landlady unveils wives tool lose en eon. Stern of shots. A saint's shelved. A monkey touring votes for lot. Revolts foot a stated vinyl loon. A miracle well unholy. Heartfelt stove flint a ad hellishness evils kits." Gohan heard the snap of her fingers. His eyes opened.
It sounded like garbled nonsense but at least now I can sleep slightly better. The only thing left to do until it happens is to spend as much time with Videl as possible and go to school. Speaking of, I wonder. "Since I'm still relatively new to public school I was wondering how much time we had left before we graduate." Videl sighed and snapped her fingers and he slightly jumped at the sound of it. Looking amused she smiled. "I just programmed all that into you and the first thing you want to know is when we graduate? Either you have a one track mind or you are far more confident in the effectiveness of our plan than I am."
Gohan put on his best innocent smile. "Maybe I'm both, please let me know." Videl sighed. "We have two and a half months left until we graduate. I was thinking that after all this craziness has been settled we can talk about what college we want to go to." Gohan's body stiffened. I haven't thought about college that much at all lately. He pictured his mother looking stern and angry at him then barking like an irate dog. Gohan began laughing. Is that how I picture my mom? He laughed even harder at the image he'd formed in his head that now had dog ears and a tail pointing up as she barked at him. Videl looked to him then.
"What's funny?" Trying his best to contain his laughter he tried to explain it to her. She seemed to think it over then she started laughing but tried to suppress it. "I can't laugh at her. She raised you and your brother from what I heard almost by herself. Yes she yells a lot but it did you a lot of good. Though it worries me a bit about what kind of mom I would be." He kissed her then. "Let's talk about that. Our future. Do you want a girl or a boy?" Videl looked thoughtful for a moment. "Well..."
Author's Note - Alright, time for translations. I won't decode the last four though. If you can do that yourself then that's awesome. If I do get enough reviews however I'll translate the last four at the end of the next episode. So here we go.
1. "Aware until toy ox." - I want you to relax.
2. "A lee eyre opus. Sever ye ply." - You are sleepy. Very sleepy.
3. "An ed effigy hit son tutor." - Don't fight it you're safe.
4. "Freak out if shorty." - Takeoff your shirt.
5. "A phew inns me fry sign a woe will yuk." - When I snap my fingers you will wake.
6. "A hamlet sooth tip thinks row two."- I almost hope that this won't work. (Remember what the end result could've been. That's why she kinda doesn't want it to work.)
7. "A honey swine lily out wry like molt"- When I say one you will try to kill me.
8. "A white snowy disloyal uptown filter ugly woo chastened moms." - When I say two you will stop and you will forget these commands.
9. "Chains distort a chick June. A certainties lush." - This card is not Jackie Chun. It is Hercule Satan.
10. "A vogue holy ion. A phantasm throne wept a weary hour to edict odor of ego four ivy. A tinfoil you trust. A wench welshes shrinks umber eery motion hits." - I love you Gohan. No matter what happens or what you are forced to do I forgive you. It is not your fault. When she sinks her claws into you remember this.
11. "A landlady unveils wives tool lose en eon."- ?
12. "Stern of shots. A saint's shelved."- ?
13. "A monkey touring votes for lot. Revolts foot a stated vinyl loon."- ?
14. "A miracle well unholy. Heartfelt stove flint a ad hellishness evils kits."- ?
As for the anagrams I know that they were messy. It's meant to be that way. Any kind of sense that some of sentences made were luck for the most part. Other times it was done purposely for fun like the eight one which makes no sense to me but makes me smile just the same. Hope you enjoyed the episode. Peace.
