When Destiny Calls: Chapter One
(Gohan's POV)
My eyes blinked rapidly as I stared at her. She wore a soft pink T-shirt, black fighting pants, and black combat boots. I did not move for a few moments before it clicked in my mind. "How do you know my name?" I asked.
The girl moved closer to me and smiled.
"I have been watching you Gohan. I came here to help you. I already know of your troubles. I am Videl." she answered.
She knows about my father and Cell? That can't be possible!
"How do I know that I can trust you?" I asked.
"Listen to your heart Gohan. I know that deep inside your heart that you believe me." Videl replied.
Her answer seemed to be confusing, but then I understood what she meant. I looked in her sapphire eyes with my own eyes. A feeling deep inside me told me that she was telling the truth. "I trust you, but what business do you have about my personal life? You wouldn't understand even if I told you." I said finally.
I heard her sigh. "I also came here to warn you about something." Videl spoke.
"About what? " I asked.
"It would be better if I told you in a more remote place other then your room. Don't want anything to happen to you, you know? Follow me." Videl replied, opening the window and flew out.
I stared after her. S-she can fly?! I knew I shouldn't leave my mother here alone, but I felt obligated to follow her. I too flew out the window. The breeze felt nice against my hair and I found Videl sitting by a small lake. "Come sit by me." she said.
I obliged by her request and sat down. She took my hands in hers and stared at my coal-black eyes.
"You have two futures Gohan. Here is future one: seven years will pass and you have not trained during this time. You and the others will encounter a powerful foe. This foe mostly likely will kill you. Of course this foe could have been defeated easily, but slacking off cost you." Videl spoke.
My breath caught in my throat. What?! How can that happen, if I slack off? I won't be that rusty at fighting. On the other hand, would I?
"What about the second future?" I asked.
"In the second future, you do train during the seven years. In doing this, you will be able to defeat the enemy that appears. Are you going to train then?" Videl responded.
"No." I replied.
"And why not?" Videl demanded.
I jerked my hands from her grasp and glared at her.
"Why!? Why should I train? Training brought me nothing, but costing my father his life! At the point I should have killed Cell, I let my saiyan instincts take over and I merely toyed with him. My father made up for my mistake by transporting Cell away before he could self-destruct. It's my fault he's dead!" I said, angrily.
Videl grabbed my wrists again and pulled me closer to her.
"Let go Videl." I commanded.
She shook her head and I felt my anger rise. With more of a jerk this time, I pulled my wrists free from her grasp. I formed both hands into two fists and powered up to SSJ. I felt my hair raise and turn blonde. My coal-black eyes teal. Before she could say anything, I swung a nice right-hook into her jaw and sent Videl in to the lake.
(Videl's POV)
I wasn't surprised that he jerked out of my grasp. My jaw dropped when his aura became golden and his hair stood straight up and turned blonde. His eyes changed to teal. I was about to say something, but he threw a punch to my jaw and I flew into the lake. I recovered myself and emerged from the lake. The droplets of water cascaded down from my hair, and my clothes. I shook my head once and looked back at Gohan.
He just looked at me, smiling.
I smiled back.
"Alright. I can play this game too." I said, letting a white aura surround me.

Vegeta performed a series of punches and kicks, when he felt Gohan's ki rise. Another presence appeared to be near him also. He stopped and snorted.
"Now what is that brat doing? He is interrupting my training schedule." Vegeta grumbled, turning the gravity down.
He left the GR and flew off in the sky.
Piccolo opened his eyes from his meditation to sense Gohan's ki rise. In addition, to a ki he did not recognize. He hoped that Gohan was not in trouble and flew off.
When Vegeta landed where he had detected Gohan's presence, he nearly wanted to laugh. Gohan, in his SSJ form, stared down his opponent who happened to be a young girl. "I came all the way here out here and for this?!" Vegeta muttered.
Both Gohan and Videl turned towards the voice.
Gohan opened his mouth to reply, but Piccolo settled down on the ground next to Vegeta. The Namek lifted his eyebrow. He shifted his gaze from Gohan to Videl. Piccolo then noticed how Videl had a white aura surrounding her. "Kid, don't tell me you interrupted my meditation for this." Piccolo stated.
(Gohan's POV)
I suddenly felt embarrassed and shifted my feet. However, I remembered why I was a SSJ in the first place.
"This girl, who calls herself Videl, got me mad for that fact she started deluging in an area that I don't want to talk about." I replied.
Both Piccolo and Vegeta knew what I was referring to and their expressions showed it.
Vegeta suddenly smirked.
"Would you mind telling us why you are here?" Piccolo asked.
I watched Videl's aura disappear and she sighed.
"I can't exactly you that, yet. Someday I will. I only came here to warn Gohan about something important. I don't mean to be rude, but this is a private conversation. Gohan can tell you if he so desires to." Videl responded.
"Came to warn the brat, huh? I want to hear what you have to say to him." Vegeta said.
"Vegeta, we should honor the girl's wishes that we leave. Besides the kid can tell us later." Piccolo said.
Vegeta turned to glare at the Namek.
"Humph. Are you implying that we should just leave and have these two talk? I stopped my training to come out here and I will not just go back. Besides I don't exactly trust her." Vegeta replied.
"Yes, I am implying that. Her ki does not feel hostile or Gohan would be fighting her already." Piccolo responded.
"I know that! Do you take me for a fool!?" Vegeta exclaimed.
"Of course not Vegeta. But then again…is that big ego of yours blocking your common sense?" Piccolo answered.
"WHAT?!" Vegeta cried.
Piccolo just smirked at him.
(Videl's POV)
I crossed my arms and watched the short man with spiky hair storm up to the Namek and start brewing up a storm. I looked at Gohan and noticed his hair and eyes were back to their normal colors. I leaned over to Gohan and asked, "Does he always do that?"
Gohan chuckled and replied, "All the time."
For some minutes, all the two did were say some crude remarks back and forth to each other and I started to get impatient. When I couldn't stand this anymore, I flared my aura around me and I fired two shots of energy at the bickering duo. That got their attention alright.
"Who did that?!" Vegeta asked, looking pissed. He looked back at Gohan and me.
Piccolo simply brushed himself and turned to where Gohan and I were waiting.
They saw me, with my arms crossed across my chest and tapped one foot on the ground.
"Now that I have your attention, I would like to say something." I said.
"And what would that be brat?" Vegeta asked.
"Gohan you better cover your ears for this." I said, putting the emphasis on the sentence. He quickly got the message.
Vegeta and Piccolo looked at me strangely and I smirked.
"YOU TWO BETTER GET YOUR BUTTS MOVING NOW OR I WILL BE FORCED TO USE MY SECRET WEAPON!! DO I MAKE MESELF CLEAR?" I yelled.
(Normal View)
It was a good thing that Gohan had covered his ears because she was still loud, but not as bad as Vegeta and Piccolo would be.
Piccolo's ears hurt so much; he wished he had ripped them off before Videl had yelled.
Vegeta flinched and even though Videl had stopped, his ears rang a bit.
"Baka human. Your little yelling is not at all like my mate's. I still refuse to leave." Vegeta said.
"Alright, if that is the way you wish to play then fine. Don't blame me if you may not like this." Videl said, waving her hand.
Everyone watched as a belt appeared around her waist and she reached down to pull something out.
Vegeta's and Gohan's eyes widened at what they saw…
