~~~ "So," Gohan mused, "the day had finally come." It was his wedding day and here he was, standing in front of gathered friends and family, awaiting his bride. Even Videl's father, Hercule, agreed to come, even though he still didn't like the idea of his daughter marrying Gohan. But Gohan guessed from his absence in the crowd, Videl had managed to convince him to give away the bride.

Even though Gohan knew he should be the happiest guy in the word today, he couldn't help but have a feeling of foreboding in the pit of his stomach, almost like he knew something bad was going to happen. He laughed at his silly idea. After all, his father and all the Z fighters were here, insuring their safety.

Suddenly, the organ in the corner started playing. The sight of Videl walking down the aisle with her father, wearing her new beautiful wedding gown, snapped Gohan out of his bad thoughts. His eyes, his mind, were all on Videl. Gohan had to remind himself not to let his jaw drop, but it was hard for him. He couldn't picture how anything else could make her look this beautiful.

Videl watched Gohan as she walked down the aisle on her dad's arm. She was startled by how good he looked in his Tux. She blushed slightly as the thought of him as her husband entered her head. Videl glanced over at her dad, hoping he didn't have a grouchy look on his face. She wanted this to be perfect. She practically had to beat him to get him to agree to the wedding. She gripped his arm tightly, so that if he snapped, he wouldn't be able to get away to try and stop them from getting married. The new bride looked around nervously hoping that if something happened, there would be people to stop Hercule. Videl spotted Chi-Chi. The older woman was glaring at Hercule as if daring him to even TRY and stop her Gohan from getting married. Videl was a little nervous when she saw that all her friends and family were here. Making a mistake in front of them would totally embarass her and Gohan. As the organ stopped and the minister started talking, Videl snapped out of her reverie and realised that she was at the alter and she focused her attention back up front.

"Greetings, dear beloved. We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Son Gohan and Satan Videl in holy matrimony," chanted the priest. He had a kind of bored look on his face as if he'd done this a thousand times before. Gohan and Videl both tried hard to concentrate on what the priest said. "Do you, Son Gohan, take Satan Videl as your lawfully-wedded wife, through sickness and health, proverty and prosperity, until death do you part?" Knowing that this was his cue, Goten stepped forward nervously with the gold wedding bands on a red velvet cushion. "I do," said Gohan glancing at Videl. He took the first ring, ready to place it on Videl's slender finger.

"And do you, Satan Videl, take Son Gohan as your lawfully-wedded husband, through sickness and health, proverty and prosperity, until death do you part?" continued the priest. Gohan gazed intently on Videl's veil- covered face.

"I do," said Videl breathlessly. They turned towards each other and slipped the wedding rings on one another. "You may now kiss the bride," finished the priest. Gohan gently lifted the veil, all the while watching his bride's face, hoping to see it reflect the look on his face- genuine happiness. Gohan wrapped his arms around her, and placed his lips tenderly on hers. Videl wrapped her arms around his neck, and for the next minute, they shared a kiss that was filled with love and passion. They finally broke apart, gazing lovingly into each others eyes. As they turned to face the clapping crowd, Gohan saw to his horror a massive figured in a dark cloak burst into the church, startling the crowd. The air around this creature was cold and terrifying. The guests were horrified, and they could only sit there and stare. Looking around as he walked towards the alter, the figure saw the Z fighters getting up and making their way towards him. He laughed in contempt, a dry and evil laugh, which would be remembered by everyone until the day they die. The evil being continued to walk down the aisle, care-free, but 2 angry super saiyens blocked his path. "Who are you and what business do you have breaking in here?!" Vegeta scowled in his most menacing voice.

"My business is with the boy, not you, Vegeta!" boomed the hooded figure in a tone more frightening then Vegeta could ever have expected. He glanced at the trembling figure at the front, who, a minute ago, had been full of joy. Goku even looked a little afraid. "You have no business with the brat unless you can get through me first!" snarled Vegeta. If Bulma had been less afraid then, she would have wondered why Vegeta was protecting "Kakarott's brat." To his horror, Vegeta realised that he'd started caring for these people, these people who he'd try to kill just years before. He gritted his teeth, and stood in battle stance, knowing that he'd fight to the end to protect these people.

"Step aside, foolish saiyens, and you will leave here unhurt," the figure said, in a calm and trustworthy voice, that suggested he would be a great senator. But of course Goku and Vegeta didn't believe him, and decided to take care of him. They drew back their fists to attack the intruder, but, to everyone's surprise, were knocked unconscious by two great ki balls from the figure's fingertips into the saiyens' stomachs. Seeing that the great warriors had been defeated, the rest of the Z fighters jumped at the figure to subdue him, but to no avail. They were all blown away just the the energy radiating from the figure, all exept for one, Picollo, because he was the strongest of the Z-fighters besides the saiyens he managed to get past the sheer force of the man's aura. In a vailgant attempt to save his friends he tried to punch the creature in the gut and get a surprize atack in.

However the creature saw this coming and step aside just enough to make piccolo fly right past him as he brought his leg up into a sweeping round house aimed at Piccolos head. The kick would have connected had Piccolo not desided to fly straight up leaving not only his after image for the figure to hit. Has he flew up he threw a ball of ki at the figure hoping that he wasn't as strong as he seemed. He figure just knocked the ki blast away hitting Krillin as he was standing and blasting the little monk into the other dimension before he even knew he was hit. As Piccolo momentarily distracted the cloaked man leaped into the air forming a large sword made of ki nad cutting the poor nameks head off and disintegrating the body and head with a single bast of ki.

With no one else in his way, the figure smirked and continued towards the front and his victim- Gohan. Gohan was quivering in rage and panic, and stood in front of his bride, so that she would not be harmed. Gohan's rage at seeing his friends deaths had propeled him into Super Saiyen 3. He sunk down into a fighting stance ready to attack. As the figure drew near, Gohan suddenly pushed off, flying directly at the hooded figure, and swiped a powerful uppercut at the figure's head.

The relief that the punch had landed soon left Gohan, however, and it was replaced by dread. The creature didn't even flinch, and right away implanted a fist into Gohan's stomach, making the Demi-saiyen collapse on the ground, clutching his stomach and experiencing such pain as he's never felt before. He had never felt such excruciating pain before. It felt like the blow has shattered every bone in his body, and that it had sent little knives digging their way into his head. "Tsk Tsk Tsk," taunted the figure, as he lifted Gohan by the hair, which was now black. The pain from the blow had drained all of his power. "You should never hit your betters." With that, he once again drew forth his ki blade for the killing blow, aimed for Gohans throat. He knew very well that he would sever the young mans head.

"NOOOOOO!!!!" screamed Videl as she lept onto the big man's back, trying to stop him from killing the only man she would ever love. Tears poured down her face. It wasn't fair that her new-found love would end so quickly. Videl started tearing at the man's hood, trying to reveal his face. Startled the figure lost his concentration and his ki blade dissolved back unto the abyss it came from. The figure in the cloak decided something then and there and grabbed Videl by the throat, lifting her high off the ground. As she clawed at his hand, trying to make him let go, he sneered at Gohan and spoke in his dread-filling voice.

"Gohan! I will take your wifes soul with me to the otherworld. If you ever want to see her again, you will have to go there where I will kill you. But be warned, if you do not save her and have her back to her body in one month's time, her soul will be lost forever to the abyss." He suddenly plunged his free hand into Videls chest, leaving no physical mark at all, but drawing forth her soul.

Gohan watched helplessly as the creature gave forth an ear-shattering evil cackle, and vanished. His wife was left to collapse onto the ground, as if dead, but her body was working as usual, now only with her soul amiss. Gohan tried to scream but nothing came out exept a cough that expelled blood.

Gohan looked around numbly, and saw everybody staring at the alter. Even when he himself was hurt, Gohan was a very caring person, and looked around, hoping nobody else was badly injured. His dad, Vegeta and the rest of the Z fighters were scattered everywhere, unconscious. Except, where was Hercule, Videl's father? Likely ran cowering back to his mansion, thought Gohan. But he wasn't important. Gohan was reminded suddenly of his wife's capture, and his heart caught in his throat. He would've started to sob right then and there, stricken with guilt and grief, but he didn't have enough energy to. After a while, through his haze, he noticed someone near him. It was Bulma. She was checking his wounds. "Nothing serious, but you'll need a few days to rest," she said calmly and in a professional manner. "I'm sorry about Videl," she said, looking at Videl's unmoving body. For a moment Gohan thought that Bulma didn't care about the deaths of Piccolo and Krillin and was shocked by that, that was until he saw the tears streaming down her face.

"I have to go after her. I can't leave her soul with him," Gohan said grimly, having collected himself, and made up his mind firmly. "Bulma, I need you to inject me with something to kill me, so i can go to the other world and save her."

"Don't be silly, Gohan. We can just wish back her soul with the Dragon Balls!" Bulma said in a tone that revieled none of the emotions that Gohan knew had to be building up in his friend. "No, you can't," said a voice from behind Bulma, forcing her to drop any pretence of happiness she had. "That wish is out of the dragon's power." It was Dende. He had come from the lookout to see Gohan's wedding. "I'm sorry, but if it's any help, i can send you to the otherworld without having to kill you at the lookout." Gohan nodded weakly and whispered barely audiably, "Thank you, Dende," before drifting off to unconciousness. Without a moment's hesitation, Gohan and Dende vanished, leaving everybody else at the church,exept two of Gohan's best friends since his first memories. ~~~ Authors notes : hope you all enjoyed that chapter more to come soon...errr......in awhile...
