And, here is the second of two for this update!
Gohan's Story of DragonBall
OR
How to Tell the Woman of Your Dreams You're a Space Alien
That night, Gohan waited until his mother had left. She and Bulma were headed for the mall to do a little ladies night out thing, and 18 was even supposed to show up. As soon as she was definitely gone, he headed for the phone.
Unfortunately, his brother blockaded the way. "Hi, Gohan!"
"What do you want, squirt?" Gohan asked, about to step past his little brother.
"Oh, I just want you to train with me! C'mon, it'll be fun!"
"No, not now, Goten. I want to talk to Videl."
"Oh, Videl..." Goten said in a sing song manner, "I think that if you don't train with me, I'll have to show mom that picture me and Trunks took..."
"Aw, GEEZ!" Gohan thought, "Blackmailed AGAIN! And this time, by my own brother...What is it with people blackmailing me?"
"Well...?" Goten asked, seeing as how his brother had not answered yet.
"Fine. Let's go train," Gohan said, utterly unenthused. The two of them went out and sparred for about an hour and a half, with Gohan complaining about wanting to go in and call Videl just about every 5 minutes. Finally, Goten got sick of his older brother's whining and let him go.
"I have to remember that trick," Gohan thought, running toward his home. As soon as he got there, he picked up the phone and called Videl on her line.
"Hello?" she asked, quietly.
"Hey, Videl!" Gohan said enthusiastically. "Sorry I took so long! Goten decided to blackmail me with that picture of us the other day."
"Wow, Gohan. Does everyone blackmail you, or does it just seem like that?"
"Well, so far, its only been Angela, you, and now my brother. That's only three."
Videl thought back to when she had blackmailed Gohan into teaching her how to fly. Well, if it wouldn't have been for that, they probably wouldn't be as close as they are now. So, it was for the best.
Gohan noticed the silence on the line, so he tapped the phone once or twice, but then Videl said "Hey, I'm here. Just thinking about some stuff. So, are you going to tell me more of your story, or what?"
"Well, I can if you want. I guess I don't remember where I left off, though." Really, Gohan just wanted to find out when she fell asleep without having to ask her that.
"The last thing I remember was you saying that this Frieza character and your dad had went to fight on some island and that you guys didn't know who was going to win."
"Ok, I remember now. My dad and Frieza were fighting and we didn't know who would win. Then, we noticed my dad use a REALLY powerful Kamehameha on Frieza. We could see and feel it from where we were, so it HAD to be a big one. I was getting a bit scared and I wanted to go help my dad, but Piccolo wouldn't let me. Piccolo then pointed out why."
"My father was creating a huge Spirit Bomb, much like the one he used to defeat Majin Buu, and Frieza seemed to be just letting him. Piccolo then gave me and Krillin some of his power and told us to stay and wait while he went to help my dad. Well, we couldn't let Piccolo and Dad do it alone, so we went to help. We each blasted Frieza with an energy attack that caught him off guard, and my dad used the Spirit Bomb."
"The blast annihilated a huge section of the ocean and the entire island Frieza had been on, but we couldn't find my dad or Piccolo at first. Finally, they surfaced from the water. Piccolo had saved my dad! We were sure Frieza was dead, and so we started to talk about going home."
"We couldn't have been more wrong. Krillin saw him first, and he blasted Piccolo. He was angry, too, because we had nearly killed him. My dad told us to leave, but Frieza wasn't about to let that happen. He killed Krillin, just like that! My dad got REALLY mad and he told me to take Piccolo, find Bulma, and get off of Namek. I didn't want to at first, but he really gave me no choice. And THAT is when the first of us went Super Saiyan."
"My dad was so mad at Frieza for all that he had done, and it just snapped something inside him. You see, becoming a Super Saiyan isn't a choice, it just happens. We have learned to cause it to happen, but it still is a spontaneous event. When a Saiyan becomes extremely angry, he can, sometimes, become a Super Saiyan. And that is what had happened on Namek."
"Now, most of the rest of this part is just what my dad has told me, since I wasn't there to see it, so it might not be as vivid. Well, my dad and Frieza fought, and my dad was pounding him. Then, Frieza launched an attack into the planet in an attempt to destroy it, but it wasn't enough to do it immediately. It would take 5 minutes for the planet to explode, and so my dad had about that long to get away. Frieza didn't want to let him get away, though."
"Well, Frieza powered up and my dad fought with him some more, with the same results as before. My dad was trashing Frieza, and then he decided it was time to leave and that Frieza wouldn't survive the destruction of the planet. Frieza wouldn't have that, so he sent an cutting energy attack after my dad. My dad made it follow him all the way back to Frieza and it sliced him apart."
"Well, at this point, my dad was WAY too nice for his own good. He gave Frieza enough energy so that he could move on his own and that he could get off of Namek. Frieza, not wanting to lose to my father, used that energy to attack my dad. My dad counterattacked and the blast destroyed Frieza."
"At that point, though, it seemed there was no way for my dad to survive. There just wasn't enough time to get off the planet. First he tried Frieza's ship, but it didn't work. Then, just in time, he found another ship and blasted off as fast as he could. Let's just say that he didn't take the most direct path to Earth, though, so we all thought he hadn't made it."
"As for the rest of us, those back on Earth had used the dragon balls there to resurrect everyone that Frieza had killed, then used the last wish from the Namekian Dragon to send everyone except my dad and Frieza to Earth. So, we were all back on Earth...ooops! I gotta go, Videl..my mom just pulled in! Bye!" Gohan quickly set the phone back down and then sat on the couch, waiting for his mom to come in.
When she did, the first words out of her mouth were "Did you enjoy your phone call?" Gohan, for the life of him, could not figure out how she knew, until she walked over and rubbed his ear a bit. To his surprise, it hurt! He then reached up and rubbed it, and it was quite raw. He must have been holding the phone so tightly to his head that...! Oh, great...
Well, at that point, Gohan told his mother good night and ran up to his room. He definitely didn't need any more trouble, and even though she hadn't specifically said he couldn't use the phone, long distance (especially all the way to Videl's!) wasn't cheap, and she probably would have his head for this one, too.
On the other end, Videl had finally sat the receiver back in the cradle and was laying on her bed. She quickly drifted off to sleep. That night, she had a dream where someone who matched the description of Frieza was here on Earth, terrorizing the land, and then that Gohan and his father fought him off. She also had a dream, much like the one from the other night, with Gohan and her laying on a hill near his house, looking up at the stars.
Well, I hope everyone is satisfied, I did two chapters! I am going to try to get some more up, but, come the first of the month, I may have to switch internet carriers, so I may be offline for a time. Hope to have lots of reviews when I get back, and, until then...!
