~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You!! How dare you show your face in front of us after you mercilessly killed our friend and stole her body?!" David yelled.
"You are so cute when you act all tough and stuff." Andrea swooned as David blushed.
"Wait a sec. Where are the future guys?" Videl asked.
"I left them on Earth. This is between just us." Glycer said as she walked towards them. They all got into a battle stance and Glycer…kneeled down in front of Videl. The others face-faulted.
"What are you doing?" Videl asked.
"I am merely bowing to my queen. Is that a crime?" Glycer asked.
"Huh?!"
"Look, my two bosses aren't even from our planet. They're green for Pete's sake! I only followed their orders because…"
"Because what?!" Gohan snapped.
"They're stronger than us. They're the ones your friends are fighting in the future. I know because that's where we travelled from. They threatened to kill us if we didn't listen to them. But now, I found the only lasting survivor from the monarchy. It's you!" Glycer said as Videl blinked in surprise.
"Me?!" Videl squeaked.
"I always said you acted like royalty!" David joked.
"Why should we believe you?!" Nicholas demanded.
"I think we should trust her." Andrea said.
"Yeah, I think so too." Natalie piped in. The guys looked at them in shock.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" They yelled.
"Hey! I am an excellent judge of character and we have a genuine psychic here backing me up!! If we say she's trustable then SHE'S TRUSTABLE!! COMPRENDE?!" Andrea yelled as the boys nodded.
"Never get the quiet ones angry." Natalie said smiling. "So, Glycer. We'll help you if you help us. Where are the head honchos?"
"Huh?!" Glycer said.
"Your bosses." Nicholas translated.
"This way but I'd better fill you in on a few things first." Glycer said leading them down a hallway. "Most of what your friends told you is true. What the others don't know is that they were behind the destruction of our planet."
**Wow, just like Frieza!!** Gohan thought to himself.
"Who?" Andrea asked.
"King Eioniz and General Office." Glycer replied as David and Natalie started to giggle.
"Hey, Gohan? Are you alright? You seem kinda…distracted buddy." Nicholas whispered.
"Things have been tough ever since me and Videl broke up." Gohan whispered back.
"You broke up?! I thought you just had a fight!! Dude…I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault."
"I should have noticed though. You and David are my boys. I should have known." Nicholas whispered. His face wore a guilty expression.
"General Office, what a name!" Andrea laughed.
"Indeed but they're both very powerful." Glycer said. "In order for me to take them to you, you must look like you're my prisoners. Is that okay with everybody?"
A chorus of "sure" and "no problem" came from the group.
"Okay. Are you sure you guys are ready for this?" Glycer asked.
"Yep. Death only comes once in a lifetime." David said. She led them to three different jail cells. (Yes, I'm gonna be predictable and put the three couples in the three cells. -_-) Glycer locked the cells and walked away.
In Gohan and Videl's cell…"Hey Videl? Can we talk?" Gohan asked.
"What?"
"About what happened the other day…I only did it because that woman in the dream told me if I didn't…you'd die."
"Really? Gohan, you should have talked to me about it."
"I wanted to but…I couldn't. You know my son that they were talking about. He's your son too."
"Huh?!"
"Listen Vid. I would rather die than let anything happen to you so I did the most stupid thing I could think of. I'm sorry."
"Gohan…"
"Please Videl. I only did it because…I…I love you."
"You what?!"
"I love you." Gohan repeated. Videl just looked at him flabbergasted. He turned away hurt.
"Gohan…"
"Yes?"
"I love you too…but I'm not sure if I can trust you or forgive you for that matter. Gomen. You need to give me time. All that's happened in the last few weeks…it's too much for me to handle right now." Videl said. Gohan felt awful but why couldn't she forgive him? He told her the truth!
Meanwhile in David and Andrea's cell…"So…" David said.
"So…" Andrea said.
"I've been meaning to ask you something. How are you coping with all this? I mean, you just met us and you're so calm." David said.
"Actually I've been using telekinesis since I was four, just for little things, nothing major. I just thought I was gifted I suppose. And, I've been hangin' with Nat for a while."
"Oh. Cool. So, how 'bout them Dodgers?" David asked as Andrea laughed.
In Nick and Nat's cell…Nicholas and Natalie were sitting on opposite sides of the jail cell. Nicholas sighed.
"So, we might die." He said.
"Yeah. Big fight coming up and we might not make it." She said. Nicholas moved closer to her and sat in front of her.
"I need to tell you something." He said.
"What's that?" She asked.
"I'm not saying this because we might die. I'm saying this because I've wanted to say this for the last six months. I've wanted to say this the minute we kissed."
"Nicky…"
"Ssh. Let me finish. We broke up because I thought we needed space and the saying is true, absence does make the heart grow fonder, because I've missed you so much."
"We're together all the time."
"I don't mean like that. I mean that…I always had a big crush on you. Ever since we were like twelve!" He said taking her hands in his. "Then there was that period of estrangement where I think we were both growing as people but now here we are like old times." He said, quoting Xander.
"Nicky…"
"Let me finish!! I just wanted to say that I was in love at you but now I'm in love with you. Do you see where I'm going with this?"
"Yes." She said. "Nicky…"
"What?"
"Just shut up and kiss me." She said grabbing his shirt and pulling him close. He looked into her eyes and kissed her madly and deeply. She pulled away with a big smile on her face.
"What's up?" He asked her.
"You grow up to be very handsome, I'm glad that I got you first." She smirked. "It wouldn't matter in the end anyway because I love you." There were loud footsteps outside.
"It's show time. SHIMATTA!!" Nicholas cried.
"What's wrong?"
"You don't know how to use your other powers yet. What are you gonna do?!"
"Take on the littler one! Duh!"
"Are you sure you'll be able to?"
"Listen hon, I have three crazy macho brothers plus I grew up with David next door to me. Plus I've been watching every action fighting show known to man. I think I can handle it. One more for the road?"
"It'll be my pleasure." Nicholas said kissing her one last time.
"Wow…" She uttered as the doors opened. The so-called King Eioniz and General Office were standing in front of the door. So were the others.
"So, these are the so-called saviours of Earth huh? Not very impressive." Office said.
"I wouldn't talk if I were you, General Office." Natalie said as the General whacked her across the face.
"How'd you know my name?" He asked as Glycer got a worried look on her face.
"I'm a psychic. I see things…where exactly did I lose you on this?" Natalie asked with a smirk.
"So, now you have us," Gohan said as he slammed his foot into the side of Eioniz's head. "What are you gonna do with us?" Gohan asked. Eioniz looked up at Gohan with a face full of anger.
"I don't understand. Your other self couldn't even lay a finger on me. How are you so powerful?!" Eioniz demanded. Then, Gohan's face lit up with realisation.
**FLASHBACK**
"Well, from what I understand Krillin, when I travelled back in time some events in history were changed. Whatever I change in this time won't make any difference in my time." Mirai Trunks explained.
"So, if you defeat the androids here…it won't make any difference!" Krillin exclaimed. "Then, why did you come back?"
"Does it matter? Thanks to you my Goku is alive and that's good enough for me." Chi-Chi said.
**END FLASHBACK**
"OF COURSE!! HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID?!" Gohan exclaimed as everyone looked at him in surprise.
"If he's stupid then what does that make us?" David cracked. Gohan turned to Eioniz.
"I realise your plan now!! You…you made us think that if we fought you now and won, we'd save the future. But, in reality all we would save would be our future! My son didn't disappear because Videl and me split up but you made it seem that way!! You…bastard!!" Gohan yelled flaring into SSJ.
"Wow, Gohan cursed!" Natalie exclaimed.
"I taught him well!" Nicholas commented.
"So, you finally figured it out." Eioniz replied as the General laughed.
"You wanted to fight us because…you were certain you'd win! Well, we have the upper hand!" Gohan exclaimed.
"Oh really?!" General Office laughed. "How?"
"This is how!" Videl replied freezing him. Eioniz gasped.
"You…you shouldn't know how to use your powers!!"
"Well, you're not the only one who travelled from the future!" David replied. Eioniz pulled a remote out and pushed the button. Suddenly, a troop of about 50 soldiers came running out.
"Aw damn!" Andrea exclaimed. "We're outnumbered." Eioniz took the opportunity to run off.
"Gohan! You go after green and jiggly, we'll take care of these Van Damme wannabes." Natalie ordered. "You too Vid."
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Gohan asked.
"Listen, you two are the strongest and…JUST GO!" David yelled and they ran off. The soldiers pulled out two katanas each.
"You were saying?!" Nicholas asked.
Gohan and Videl were on Eioniz's trail. He led them into a big dark room, which was the control room of the ship. The lights switched on and there was Eioniz, in all his un-glory.
"I've been waiting a long time for this boy." Eioniz said evilly. Gohan clenched his fist in anger. "You know, your other self had exactly the same look when I killed your father…how ironic. I could do it twice now!" Gohan's rage increased as he went SSJ2.
"DON'T EVER TALK LIKE THAT ABOUT MY FATHER!!!" Gohan yelled charging towards him. Eioniz disappeared and reappeared behind him laying a powerful blow to Gohan's neck. Gohan quickly rebounded and kicked Eioniz in the stomach. While he was still winded Gohan flew above and started to power up an attack.
"MASENKO…HA!!" Gohan fired the attack at Eioniz but he realised and moved out of the way. Videl quickly put the freeze on the attack so that the ship wouldn't blow up.
"GOHAN!! I REALISE THIS IS A GRAVE SITUATION BUT BE CAREFUL!! WE CAN'T BREATH IN SPACE!!" Videl yelled. Gohan wiped the sweat from his brow and continued to fight Eioniz.
Back to where the others were, surprisingly the remaining four were doing quite well. Natalie was basically trying to predict every move and help out her friends…that is, until she met her enemy. He was a man about her height but he looked very skilful. Natalie gulped but got ready none the less.
"Are you ready to suffer at my hands?" He asked. Natalie rolled her eyes.
"Puh-lease!! Although I should warn you, I am trained in the arts of butt kicking…arena style." She said. They stood facing each other in a typical western style. The guy pulled out twin katanas from his pants and jumped on top of a platform that was supported by two ropes.
"Now how in the world did you do that?!" Natalie exclaimed. She jumped up there to join him but not before taking a katana from one of the fallen soldiers.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAAA!!" The guy yelled impressively twirling the katanas. Natalie blinked. She took her sword and just started swishing it around.
"YEEEEAYAYAYAAAA!" She yelled slicing one of the ropes so that he fell to the ground. She jumped down after him. "Thank goodness for Robin Hood: Men In Tights!" While he valiantly tried to fight her she was luckily blocking his every move. By sheer luck she managed to get the knives out of his hands and stood on top of him, katana in hand. He kicked her from behind and stood in a fighting stance.
"You certainly are good…for a girl." He said as she fumed.
"I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THIS GIRL CAN DO!" Natalie yelled as she elbowed him in the stomach. Suddenly, she dropkicked him and floated up in the air. "SWANTON BOMB!!" She yelled doing the famous Hardy Boyz move. The others had finally defeated the soldiers and had stopped to watch Natalie fight.
"I almost feel sorry for that guy." David said, shaking his head as Natalie trapped him the Walls of Jericho. "Should we stop her?"
"Well…he is tapping out!" Andrea laughed. They pulled Natalie off the poor soldier as he conked out.
"That's my girl!" Nicholas said kissing her on the cheek. She smiled and gave him a V sign. Natalie turned round to Glycer.
"Go home, I think you deserve it."
"But what about Videl?" Glycer asked.
"I think she'd be better off on Earth. If she ever changes her mind…we'll give you a call." Natalie said as Glycer gave them a salute and vanished. "Bitch."
"You sure change your mind quickly." Nicholas commented.
"Eh."
"Maybe we should go see how Gohan and Videl are doing." David said as they all ran off to find them.
Gohan and Videl breathed hard. It had been a gruelling battle so far and what was making it worse was that Eioniz wasn't getting tired.
"What's the matter? Getting tired already kids?" Eioniz asked mockingly. Gohan gritted his teeth in anger. Suddenly the doors burst open behind them.
"DA NA NA NA NA NA!! THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED!!" Nicholas yelled as Gohan grinned.
"You goof! Come and help us out here!!" Gohan yelled as they assembled in front of him. "CHARGE!!" Gohan yelled as the gang charged at him with a flurry of kicks and punches. But Eioniz wasn't wearing down and that was the main problem. Nicholas punched his chi charged hand through his chest. Literally.
"Ewwwwwwwww!! Gohan!! Charge through his chest!! It's his weakness!" Nicholas yelled. Eioniz's eyes widened in terror. Gohan wore a smirk that would put Vegeta's to shame. He fired up a chi shield and went charging through Eioniz.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HHHHGGGGNN!" Eioniz yelled as he exploded. Green slime landed everywhere.
"EEEEEWWWW!!! IT'S IN MY HAIR!!" Andrea yelled. "Can we go home?"
"Sure…hey Nat? What are you doing?" Videl asked but Natalie was in one of her programming trances again. Videl sweat-dropped.
"She can do that but she can't pass Maths." Gohan laughed.
"Okay, we have about 15 seconds before the ship will explode." Natalie grinned.
"NANI?!" The others yelled.
"Are you crazy?!" Gohan yelled shaking her.
"Did you forget we can teleport?!"
"WE NEVER LEARNED THAT!!"
"Oh, I did!" Natalie exclaimed as everyone else face-faulted. "Keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times!" She said as they all disappeared off the ship and back into Videl's back yard.
"WOW!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS?!" Mirai Goten exclaimed.
"Eioniz! Gohan kicked his ass!! With a little help from us of course!" Natalie smiled.
"You guys…" Mirai David said as he sniffed. "Need a bath!"
Three days later…"Thanks for all your help! Take care of yourselves!" Videl said, as the Mirais got ready to go.
"Sorry we couldn't be of much help!" Mirai Nicholas apologised. Natalie went up to him and kissed his cheek.
"Take care of everybody okay?" Natalie said with tears in her eyes. He just smiled at her. Videl looked at him and her face lit up with realisation.
"OHMIGOSH!! THEY'RE…" Videl yelled pointing her fingers frantically.
"That's right. I figured it out ages ago. Guys, say hello to Nicky, Dave, Trunks and Goten. Fifteen years from now." Natalie smirked.
"You're…me?!" David squeaked referring to the blonde one.
"That's right." Mirai David grinned.
"So that would make you…" Nicholas started talking to the dark-haired one.
"Yep."
"Alright!" Nicholas and David yelled slapping each other five.
"How'd you figure it out?" Mirai Goten asked.
"Well, you from your hair. Trunks is the only kid I know with purple hair and how could I not know my boys? Besides, Nicholas is the only person I know who would go around saying Men In Black quotes to prove his point." Natalie replied. Mirai Nicholas blushed, as did Nicholas. "KAWAII!"
"We'd better get going!" Mirai Goten said as they boarded the ship and disappeared.
At school there was a special memorial built for Lindsey. Gohan had asked Shenlong to try and wish her back but somehow the aliens had made it a natural death.
At Lindsey's grave…Videl put down her flowers as Gohan joined her from behind. She looked back at him with a sad face.
"I'm really gonna miss her you know, she was a kind person." Videl said as a tear rolled down her face. Gohan tried to wipe her tear away but she stopped him by clutching his hand.
"Videl…"
"Just give me time Gohan…that's all I want right now. Time to grieve…and time to think." She said walking away leaving Gohan standing there. Nicholas, who had rode up with Gohan, stood behind him and put his arm around him.
"Don't worry man, we'll fix this." Nicholas said.
"I hope so. I really do." Gohan replied sadly.
THE END.
I know what you're thinking. How the HFIL could I do that? Well, I never promised that there would be a happy ending. Seriously, there is one more story I wanted to do with this gang but it would only work if I split up Gohan and Videl. It's a parody of an episode of Boy Meets World so read that if you want to know what happens to Videl and Gohan. It's called "And Then There Was Nicholas". *Runs from angry readers* BYE!!
