Dragonball Z

A Cruel Twist Of Fate

Chapter 2-Stranger Unmasked

"I'm telling you Videl, that's what happened." Gohan said.
"And he told you all that?!" Videl asked. "This is so mysterious, how is that guy and how does he know us?"
"Well I'll tell you this for nothing, if he expects me to stand by and watch these fighters destroy a city just because there's something there that they need then he's got another thing coming." Gohan said.
"Yeah, I agree." Videl agreed. "Another thing that's weird, why does that guy's voice sound so strange, yet so familiar?"
"That's what I've been trying to figure out." Gohan said.
"I think the next full moon is tomorrow which means that these supposedly strong fighters are supossed to appear tonight." Videl said.
"I think we should tell the other fighters." Gohan said. "We may need some back up, the guy did say that there was going to be an army of these fighters."
Gohan and Videl walked into the Capsule Corps. and gathered together all of the remaining Z Fighters and explained the whole situation and what their plan was.
"A whole army? Tonight? At South City? And this guy told you all this?" Yamcha asked.
"Yeah, whoever he is." Videl said. "I don't know about any of you, but I'm not just gonna stand by and watch a whole city get destroyed."
"Me neither." Piccolo said. "I think I'll join you."
"I hope these so called fighters are tough." Vegeta said. "I can't stand wasting my time fighting weaklings."
"Well if they're in, then I'm in." Krillin said.
"Alright then, we'll all go tonight then." Gohan said.
"What about us?" Goten asked. "Can we come too?"
"No Goten, I think it's best if you and Trunks remain behind." Gohan said. "If these fighters are tough then things might get a little too ugly."
"Come on Gohan, we can turn Super Saiyan so we can help." Trunks said.
Gohan sighed, knowing full well that Goten and Trunks would probably come whether he wanted them to or not.
The Z Fighters hid in trees bushes in the evening and waited for the fighters to show up.
"You know, it's times like this that I wish that Goku was here." Krillin muttered.
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Yamcha agreed.
"Did that guy say when they were supposed to show?" Tien asked.
"No, just that they would appear tonight." Gohan replied.
"All of you be quiet!" Vegeta growled. "I can sense something."
Everyone froze and tried to tune their senses to pick up whatever it was. Suddenly, a huge explosion shattered the silence. Everyone's head's jerked up to see where the explosion had come from.
"THEY'RE HERE!" Piccolo yelled.
Everyone looked into the dark sky and saw a massive fleet of blue, green, red and yellow demon like creatures coming right at them. Though they were small, their Ki levels were enormous.
"What kind of evil are they?!" Videl asked.
"Nothing like we've faced before, that's for sure." Yamcha replied.
"Gohan, look up there! Who is that?!" Goten said, pointing in the sky.
Everyone looked to where Goten was pointing and saw that there was a blood red dmon creature unlike any of the others, for the simple reason that it was huge.
"That looks like the smaller demon's leader." Videl said.
"I wouldn't be surprised." 18 muttered.
With the large creature was another army of stronger, more powerful looking warriors who wore what appeared to be clothes of royalty.
"My gosh, it's him!" Gohan said, nearly shouting.
"Who?" Videl asked.
"Him up there, next to the big guy on the right, that's the guy who told me this was gonna happen!" Gohan yelled. "He really is one of them!"
"But that doesn't make sense!" Krillin said. "I mean if that guy's one of them, then why did he warn you to stay away from here, why'd he give away what they were planning to do?"
"We'll figure that out later!" Vegeta yelled. "They know we're here so attack!"
Vegeta darted out into the open and started blasting the small demon creatures. Everyone else followed.
"Well what do we have here?" The large creature spoke. "It seems that the strongest fighters of this planet have decided to try and stop us."
The figure, whom spoken with Gohan, glared down at the Z Fighters.
"No no no, I told him to stay away from here!" The figure thought to himself. "I should've known better than to trust him to let this slip!"
The large figure then lifted his huge claw filled paw and a bright blue ball of energy glowed sharply in it. Suddenly, all the Z Fighters started crying out in pain and one by one fell lifeless to the ground.
"What did you do?! You've killed them!" The figure yelled. "I thought you said that no-one was going to be harmed!"
"Calm yourself my elite warrior." The large creature said. "They have not been harmed at all, I merely made them go into unconsciousness. By the time they wake up we'll have got what we came for and that way, no-one get hurt."
The figure turned his head away. He saw the explosions that were destroying the city, yet he wasn't as angry as he could be for he knew that no-one were getting hurt or being killed. Even so, his anger that they had to destroy the city was there. He sighed and opened up his white gloved hand as a crystal coloured energy ball was formed.
"And all this…for a Dragonball."
He fired.
Gohan slowly opened his eyes as he came to. He looked over at everyone else as they slowly woke up. Gohan then looked up and gasped. Most of, if not the entire city had been destroyed. It was an unbelievable site.
"How…did this happen?" Yamcha asked.
"That big jerk!" Videl yelled. "He used some sort of attack that knocked us out cold!"
"Leaving them all free to do this." Gohan said, still in shock.
"So much for stopping the enemy." Vegeta growled.
Gohan turned away sadly and flew off towards home, with Goten following.
As soon as Gohan and Goten got back home, they were both shoved into bed by Chichi. Goten fell asleep in no time, But Gohan couldn't. He lay awake, staring at the stars outside the bedroom window and sighed heavily.
"What would you do dad?" Gohan whispered.
Suddenly, Gohan heard a rustling sound coming from outside. Silently, he crept to his window, looked outside and saw a shadow in the bushes. With lightning speed and accuracy, he jumped upon the shadow and both rolled around on the dirt covered ground for a few minutes before Gohan held him down.
"You!" Gohan growled, now seeing that it was the figure who had talked to him before.
Anger was filling every vein inside Gohan and he grabbed the helmet and began trying to get it off.
"Let go!" The figure yelled.
"It's time to find out who you really are!" Gohan hissed, pulling harder.
"No don't Gohan!"
Too late. The helmet was ripped of the figure's head and revealed a face. The helmet, which had been in Gohan's hands, dropped to the ground with a thud. Gohan's eyes were wide in shock and utter disbelief at who he saw. His hands were shaking, his whole body was shaking.
"No…no it can't be…there's just no way…it's impossible…"
Now everything, though it seemed preposterous, started falling into place. Gohan now knew why the look, the voice and the hold had seemed so familiar to him. Gohan stared at the figure, at the raven black hair, the soft gentle look and the teary eyes.
"FATHER?!"
